Dodai Stewart

Dodai Stewart is editor-in-chief at Fusion. Previously she was Fusion's executive editor.[1]

Stewart joined Fusion as director of culture coverage in 2014,[2] part of a "big-name hiring spree"[3] of "hot-shot journalists on which Fusion is pinning its hopes," including Alexis Madrigal previously of The Atlantic, Felix Salmon from Reuters, and Anna Holmes, previously Stewart's editor at Gawker Media site Jezebel.[4] Before departing for Fusion, Stewart was deputy editor at Jezebel.[5] Madame Noire describes Stewart's work there as "one of those much-needed strong female voices in media. Moreover, she’s been an advocate for diversity in fashion, diversity of thought and diversity in beauty. She checks the tabloids for their body shaming ways. And then gives us pictures of pretty dresses (and calls out the ugly ones)."[6]
