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

I love my job and my relationship with the viewers who watch my shows.

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

I date, don't get me wrong. I'm not up here filing my fingernails on a Friday night. I want to find someone to share my life with.
