Lacey Vorrasi-Banis began her career in journalism, racking up bylines and gracing mastheads of media juggernauts like Time and Entertainment Weekly. She’s worked as a reporter, writer, and editor, covering everything from network upfronts and film releases to NASCAR and parenting. 

A staunch DEI advocate, Vorrasi-Banis has moderated panels on Asian AAPI representation in Hollywood and has found herself on the other side of the mic while being interviewed as a media expert on diversity and representation.

After relocating to Los Angeles from New York, Vorrasi-Banis used her proven journalism and storytelling experience to shift gears into marketing as a copywriter and digital communications specialist for various local nonprofits and businesses. She’s been the social media coach in the Annenberg Media Center since Fall 2023, advising students on best practices for Annenberg Media’s award-nominated social content.
