The Trailblazer Times

Mercedes Lilienthal, Editor-at-Large, The Trailblazer Times

I’m an automotive journalist and photographer who documented Jessi Combs’ journey, along with many JCF scholarship recipient winners, via several notable publications, including The New York Times. Not only did I follow Jessi’s career, tragic death, and subsequent birth of the Jessi Combs Foundation and the 35 scholarship recipient winners JCF has helped to date, I’m honored and proud to be the wordsmith behind The Trailblazer Times, bringing you meaningful content that’ll help inspire, educate, and empower.
