Happy Birthday Shereen Marisol Meraji

A Conversation with Code Switch Co-Founder, Public Media Veteran and UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Professor

Gates.

They are everywhere. Watergate. Bridgegate. Tan-suit-gate.

It’s hard to know when the facts of life merit such a distinction, but for Shereen Marisol Merjai, the moment arrived on her 40th birthday.

She was at her mom’s house and had one small request for her big day—a homemade cheesecake.

And then…the floodgates opened.

Join us in wishing Shereen a happy birthday by listening to this episode and tell her that you listened!

P.S. On September 5th, Shereen’s new Audible podcast, “How I Get It Done,” will drop. Be on the lookout for it, give it a listen, and subscribe. ✨✨✨
