"I'm tired of all the noise and cacafany," Sux says. "You just go through it, and theyre just like all these moments." She's had to change how she thinks about her role as a journalist in the world. The journey has been fraught with pitfalls but there is something at the end that will make you think: 'Wow'

Lulu Garcia-Navarro is a former war correspondent and host of NPR’s Weekend Edition. Her new podcast, for the New York Times, is First Person.

“I would always say that if you go cover a story and you already know what people are going to say, and you already have it in your head what the outcome is, and there's no surprise there, then that's a story that you shouldn't be working on. You have to allow the opportunity for there to be a journey. And for there to be something at the end of it, that is gonna be like, Wow. I really never thought that. I didn't think that I was coming here to report on that, but I guess that's what I'm here to report on.”
