Karina Sturm – journalist, filmmaker, writer, and professional patient

Karina is an award-winning filmmaker and journalist from Germany currently residing in the US. She gained significant scientific knowledge through studying laboratory technology and working in research for several years.

Due to a chronic illness and invisible disability, she found her passion for media production and has been working as a freelance journalist since 2013.

In 2019, she finished her Master’s degree by producing a feature-length documentary called ”We Are Visible” to highlight how to improve reporting on people with disabilities in media. ”We Are Visible” has won several movie awards, while Karina graduated with distinction from her journalism program.

Karina’s main focus is to represent people with illnesses and disabilities accurately in the media to reduce biases and stereotypes. She thinks disabled journalists should be reporting on disability.

A portrait shot of Karina, a woman with short, 10 mm shaved, brown hair and huge, feather-like earrings sits in her kitchen.

The shackles that are my disease force me to keep looking down;
every day anew, I break these chains,
raise my head and make a step forward
