About this episode

As an Emmy-winning reporter on the hugely popular ABC7 in New York City, Darla Miles is no stranger to talking to individuals about some of their lowest lows, and their highest highs. But while she acts as a voice for so many across New York, her own story - one of deep personal loss after losing her husband and multiple pregnancies - is rarely in the spotlight. That’s why this episode is so incredibly special. On this Candid Convo, of She Pivots, Darla shares why she felt compelled to bring Black voices to the television; her unconventional path to becoming a reporter; the loss of her husband when she was only 41; her complicated and challenging fertility journey; and why she still has hope to this day.

 

She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success. To learn more about Darla, follow us on Instagram @ShePivotsThePodcast or visit shepivotsthepodcast.com.
