Amy Joy is a Community Engagement Producer with CBC NL. Amy has been making connections and building relationships in the community since her career started at the CBC in 2006. She holds deep connections in the province and is passionate about elevating the conversations of the day and sharing stories that offer real solutions – it’s been a common thread in every role she’s filled both on and off air. Her partnerships and collaborations with community groups have translated into valuable content that prompts change. Recent work with Food First NL, a group that works with communities in NL to ensure access to affordable, healthy, and culturally appropriate food, highlighted major issues of food insecurity in the province and held decision makers accountable. The series also won a RTDNA award for Continuing Coverage. Her work with the First Light St. John’s Friendship Centre on a recent radio show, First Light Fridays, explored what it was like to be Indigenous in Newfoundland and Labrador and gave a platform for Indigenous Peoples to share cultural experiences and music. Amy works hard to ensure the voices of underrepresented groups are heard and is often seen out and about in the community doing what she does best – listening to people’s stories. If you see her, say “hi”.
