My guest on today’s thoroughly enjoyable episode is Maureen Umeh. Maureen Umeh is an anchor and reporter for FOX 5 Morning. Maureen’s career on TV started a number of years ago, landing a full-time reporting job at WCIA-TV right after she graduated from college. She has been honored with several awards for her work. They include an Emmy for Best Investigative Series and Best Newscast. She has also been honored by many other organizations, including the South Carolina Television and Arts Association; the Illinois Broadcaster's Association and the NAACP. Maureen has served as the Chairwoman for the Upstate Leadership Council of the American Cancer Society and also worked with nonprofit organizations including Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and Mathew House, an agency for disadvantaged youth. She also serves on the board of the African Women’s Cancer Awareness Association and mentions their upcoming gala in the Washington D.C. metro area on Saturday, October 26th. In spite of these major accomplishments, she says that her daughter is undoubtedly her biggest accomplishment. I found Maureen to be humble, down to earth and so warm. In today’s episode, we discuss her journey and advice she would give to anyone wishing to follow a similar path. Maureen discusses the fact that no knowledge is lost knowledge.
