Elise Jordan from Words Matter Media

As of my last update in April 2023, Elise Jordan is a well-known American journalist, political commentator, and co-founder of Words Matter Media. Born on June 22, 1990, in Holly Springs, Mississippi, she grew up in a politically conscious environment that sparked her interest in politics and journalism from a young age.

Jordan graduated from Yale University with a degree in history, which provided her with a strong foundation for her future career. She began her career in Washington, D.C., where she worked as a speechwriter for the U.S. State Department during the tenure of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. This early experience in government and policy-making gave her valuable insights into the inner workings of U.S. foreign policy and the global political landscape.
