A few years ago Stephanie embarked in this journey to create a different brand of news, News Quickies. A brand that incorporates news, social media, lifestyle, creativity and people. A brand that pioneers the way how news is delivered and consumed through social media. News Quickies are short, fun and casual video explanations of today’s top headlines, deviating from traditional news outlets and styles. News Quickies are your no B.S. news outlet with a hint of personality. News Quickies is a way for Stephanie to embrace who she is: a millennial and an immigrant.
