Journalist Torbert starts journal line to inspire people

Khadijah Torbert

Television producer and journalist Khadijah Torbert recently decided to turn her journaling hobby into a business to help inspire people with the launch of her journal business.

The move to start the journal business began after she graduated from Troy University in 2016, while she was struggling to find herself.

Although Torbert had the vision of creating the journal line ‘Worthy,’ in 2016, it did not come to fruition till June 2020.

“I started research in November of 2019, I was trying to find answers to what it means to start a journal; like what are the processes, who do I need to get in contact with to build the materials, to get the content, and how do I get it into the hands of people,” Torbert said. “So, I researched all of that, and I officially launched [the journal line] this past June. I’m so proud of what it’s doing so far, it’s kind of blowing my expectations honestly.”

The journal line currently includes nine different journal types which are available on Amazon.

Currently, Torbert is a news producer and reporter for WVUA 23 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Torbert initially started her career by joining the University’s broadcast news station, TrojanVision, as a sports reporter.

“TrojanVision prepared me and gave me hands-on experience when I interned in school and then in Tampa during the summer months at WFLA, where I got real hands-on experience with their very diverse sports reports team,” Torbert said. “And bringing that back to TROY literally [let me hit the] ground running in my senior year. Being able to produce a newscast before I graduated also set me apart, because without the experience I got from being in TrojanVision, I would have been more of a liability when I started to work for WVUA 23.”
