In this week’s Afternoon Tea, Sami is joined by TV host, journalist, and correspondent for NBC4-LA and IMDB, Danielle Robay. They start with a conversation about Danielle’s career journey from growing up in Chicago, moving to LA to live in a garage and work for free until eventually landing her first paid event on the red carpet. Next, Danielle talks about the intersection between politics and pop culture, what it was like having Larry King as her mentor, and some of her experiences as a woman working in media. They also talk about what men can do to be active allies for women in the workplace, where she sees the news industry heading, and why diverse newsrooms matter. Finally, it’s time for the Four Questions, which leads to a conversation about Danielle’s wish to solve the global learning crisis (climate change too).
