This is Teen People, the podcast where I track down people from Teen People magazine. Where are they now? This week’s guest, Tabitha Sukhai, gives us an update.
Tabitha is an award-winning digital media professional and social media strategist. She got her start as a Teen People Trendspotter, part of a network of thousands of Teen People readers who contributed original content to the magazine, participated in focus groups, and advised Teen People’s staff on local trends in their own communities. As a New York-based Trendspotter, Tabitha had a close involvement with the magazine and its staff. This gave her valuable editorial and marketing experience in a major media corporation.
In 2001, she jumped into an internship—or rather, a series of internships—across the TIME Inc. spectrum, but she began by working with Isabel González, Teen People’s Special Projects Editor, and head of the magazine’s Trendspotter program.
Today Tabitha uses her skills to uplift small businesses and mentor up-and-coming digital media professionals.
Tabitha spoke with me in the fall of 2021 from her home in New York.
