Kate
Woodsome

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kate Woodsome is the founder and director of the Invisible Threads Impact Lab, an initiative dedicated to developing the human and relational capacities upon which democracy depends. For twenty years, she has covered international news and led teams of journalists for Voice of America, Al Jazeera English, and The Washington Post, covering upheavals ranging from Cuba to Cambodia, and from Hong Kong to Washington, DC.

Her coverage of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol left her with complex PTSD and a visceral understanding of how trauma is both a cause and a consequence of polarization. After her team received the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, she left traditional journalism, refusing to perpetuate a culture that treats trauma as the price of telling the truth.

The Invisible Threads Impact Lab was born from the realization that mental health and democracy go hand in hand. It offers leaders, journalists, and change-makers training in resilience and trauma-informed systemic transformation strategies, while pioneering regenerative journalism, designed to leave the civic landscape healthier than we found it.

This new approach moves beyond extractive, threat-saturated journalism toward a narrative that strengthens readers’ resilience, sheds light on the root causes of complex problems, and places intergenerational healing at the heart of its approach.
