Discussing the Diversity Gap on The Debrief with David Ushery

I had a surreal experience today: I went to WNBC’s studio and saw the newscasters I watch every day in action! I was nervous—TV isn’t made for introverts!—but everyone in the studio was very kind and I relaxed after a while. Last fall I sent my books and some diversity articles to several media personalities, hoping they’d be willing to start a public conversation about the need for change. Basir Mchawi at WBAI and David Ushery at WNBC are the only two who responded, and I’m very grateful that they let me share my views on race and publishing. The Debrief with David Ushery airs on Sunday mornings at 5:30 am but if you’re not a morning person, you can watch my segment on “the diversity gap” here.
