NYAToday edit
Anderson started NYAToday in 2016 with the goal to "educate the younger generation." She recognized a "gap between youth and the news" and hoped to remedy that issue through "informative articles and ways to act at the bottom of each article." Anderson's team is made up of people from across the world, including Morocco, Kenya, the US, the UK, and elsewhere. For more information, visit nyatoday.com.

She has advocated extensively for gender equality and education. Anderson is currently in the process of creating a "website that features critical sexual health information in all languages."
