Soraya Nadia McDonald

Soraya [dot] Press is an independent, proudly human-powered digital publication covering culture. It is owned and operated by Linda Brent Media, a company founded by journalist and critic Soraya Nadia McDonald. Soraya boasts more than 20 years of experience in journalism covering film, television, theatre, politics, fashion, art, books, and sports. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in criticism and winner of the George Jean Nathan Award for dramatic criticism.

At Soraya [dot] Press, we believe experiencing, thinking, and talking about art in all its forms is vital to human flourishing and to making and sustaining meaningful connections to others and to oneself. Free artistic expression, like journalism, is under attack precisely because it's essential to the functioning and health of democracy.

Writers for Soraya [dot] Press do not accept gifts or paid junkets in exchange for coverage. This publication is sustained by paid memberships. If you are an educator, a student, or need a pay-what-you-can membership, please email memberships@lindabrent.media.

It’s our pleasure and privilege to be accountable to you, dear reader, so thank you!
