I'm proud of my hard work. Working hard won't always lead to the exact things we desire. There are many things I've wanted that I haven't always gotten. But, I have a great satisfaction in the blessings from my mother and father, who instilled a great work ethic in me both personally and professionally.
-
I've not given up having a child. But I hope whatever route of parenthood I choose, whether it's adoption or I'm able to conceive, I just hope that I'm able to give someone as beautiful a life as my parents gave me.
-
Trust me: I do hit the snooze button about 4 times.
-
I have an incredible phobia of divorce.
-
We all have these challenges and stereotypes that exist, but you can't let that hold you down... If that's the first thing you think about as a black woman - the challenge that lies ahead - you are thinking in the wrong direction, in my opinion.
-
The best advice I received came late, and it's this: Don't read the comments section of any story that mentions you!
-
We're not monolithic. What is blackness? To me, how do you define that?
-
When I first started out as a young journalist, I know that on at least two occasions, when I walked into a newsroom, I knew I was replacing the black person in that job.
-
I'm about being honest and knowing that people are watching, and they want to know that I'm asking questions that they want the answers to.
-
My dad was in the Army, so what was happening internationally and nationally was always important to my family.
-
When I came to Philadelphia in the late '80s, it was going through a very difficult time.
-
I root for anyone who's got kids and if they want to make it work.
-
We all have roadblocks; we all have challenges.
-
I love my job and my relationship with the viewers who watch my shows.
-
Looking back, I've always enjoyed hearing about the lives of other people, their experience through their jobs, their lives, and their children. It's always been a treat to hear about others.
-
I've been given an opportunity to make a difference.
-
I was 7 years old, and I challenged everything. I never accepted answers on face value.
-
I had braces for six years! Kids would call me 'big teeth' or 'rabbit teeth.'
-
I date, don't get me wrong. I'm not up here filing my fingernails on a Friday night. I want to find someone to share my life with.
-
I will never answer that question of what are the challenges I face. You speak it into existence, and I choose to use that air for other things.
-
When I came to MSNBC, its identity as the place for politics was growing.
-
I was on morning TV for 10 years in Chicago.
-
If someone says, 'I love that lipstick,' I will always try to answer, honestly, if I know what color it is. It's a connective tissue.
-
It used to upset me - now it makes me sad - to see people use patriotism and our troops as a pawn in their political argument. Because I know personally, growing up in a military family, the sacrifice that is made on a daily basis.
