I’m a three-time Emmy-nominated journalist with a decade of experience in media who has covered major national stories like the aftermath of the Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally and President Trump’s “travel ban” in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I became a journalist to speak for the voiceless, like my severely disabled sister. I have used my platform to shed light on important issues impacting people with disabilities and other vulnerable and disenfranchised communities. I won a Catalyst for Change award from the ARC of Virginia for the impact of my reporting and an Emmy nomination for an investigation exposing neglect and abuse at an assisted living facility. My goal as a journalist is to leave the world a better place by spreading hope with my work while ensuring the truth is always told, and wrongdoing is exposed.
Silver has lived through constant attacks and experienced four wars between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group that runs Gaza and that the United States classifies as a terrorist organization. But despite her own trauma, Silver, now 72, has spent the last four decades working to end the Israeli/Palestinian conflict while advocating for co-existence and harmony between the two groups.
"In 2009, the [Israeli] government only built shelters for communities that were four kilometers from the border. The community I live in is four and a half kilometers from the border, so we didn't have shelters then," Silver explained."Now we do, so psychologically we feel better, and we feel safer, and in fact, we are safer, we're a lot safer than the people in Gaza."
