I had braces for six years! Kids would call me 'big teeth' or 'rabbit teeth.'

Someone - a man - advised me not to become a news anchor because my eyelashes were too long, and they would distract the viewers.

On career day as a young journalist, I scraped up my money and went to this big conference for young journalists, and the great feedback I got was that I would not or should not become an anchor because my eyelashes were too long and too distracting.

I have a couple of gold teeth. I had braces for a year but I didn't wear the retainer.

I was 7 years old, and I challenged everything. I never accepted answers on face value.

I am grateful that as a reporter and as an anchor, people have allowed me to share their stories.
