For Day 17 of the Black Authors I LOVE! event I wanted to feature someone who is better known for her contributions to television, but has written a few books about life and her unique views on living, Miss Robin Roberts! I was first introduced to Robin when she was a sportscaster and have followed her successful career to mainstream news. This is unheard of in this industry, but Robin made the transition seamlessly. The daughter of a Tuskegee Airman, she learned at an early age that she could do anything and she has. I greatly admire her strength, wisdom and her poise. If I were, scratch that, when I become famous I want her to be the person to interview me. Speaking it into existence! Robin’s book “From the Heart: Seven Rules to Live By” is a great read and it provides her lessons she has learned and rules she lives her life by. Robin and I share one of the same heroes and that is the incomparable Pat Head Summitt!
A dynamic woman who excels professionally and personally. She is admired by many for her courage and strength when faced with a life-threatening illness.
