About Dalia:
After one too many Ohio winters, Cleveland native Dalia Colón moved to the Sunshine State for what was supposed to be a yearlong adventure. That was in 2005.
In the decades that followed, Dalia has embarked on a new Florida adventure nearly every day through her work as a journalist with the Tampa Bay Times, Visit Florida, WUSF Public Media, WEDU PBS and other media outlets.
In 2018, Dalia’s career path took a delicious turn when she became producer—and eventually executive producer and host—of The Zest, an NPR Network podcast that celebrates Florida cuisine. This work led her to several other food-related opportunities, including writing The Florida Vegetarian Cookbook, judging the James Beard Awards and serving as lead scholar for the Smithsonian Institution’s FOOD Exhibition Starter Kit, which helps Florida communities create museum exhibitions that showcase local foodways. In addition, Dalia is a prolific freelance writer, teaches workshops at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg and volunteers her time as a community event host and classroom guest speaker.
A self-proclaimed bookworm, Dalia credits her love of reading and writing to her parents—two educators who never turned down her requests for a trip to the library. She earned a bachelor’s degree in magazine journalism from Ohio University and a master of arts in teaching Spanish from Kent State University. Dalia’s work has been honored by the Suncoast Regional Emmys, National Educational Telecommunications Association, Florida Magazine Association, Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists’ Griot Drum Awards and the Florida Association of Broadcast Journalists, to name a few.
Dalia lives with her family and two unruly dogs in Riverview, Florida, and she never leaves home without a snack.
