WGPR on Nightline

It was such an honor being featured on Nightline and talking about starting my journalism career in my hometown Detroit at WGPR - the first black-owned and operated television station in the country. It’s been YEARS since I’ve seen my former colleagues- Joe Spencer, (former station manager) Denise James and Terry Owens (both former anchors/reporters). WGPR-TV - the original location now turned into the WGPR Museum launched the careers of so many in an industry that had limited opportunities for African Americans at the time. Thank you Alex Perez for really capturing the essence of what it was like being part of a history-making television station. Mom came with me to the interview and loved hearing the stories. If you are ever in Detroit, make sure you try to stop by the WGPR Museum to see all of the incredible history on display!
