As a co-anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America, Robin Roberts is an icon in morning news. She’s also a member of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a Peabody Award winner, an author of several books, a breast cancer survivor, and a Southerner. Robin was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, a daughter of one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen who fought in World War II and put that town on the map. Over the years, her family moved where her father’s career took them, but once he retired, they settled in Pass Christian, Mississippi, which she considers her hometown. I caught up with Robin as she was headed to Western North Carolina for a special report on the lasting effects of Hurricane Helene, as well as the resilience of that community. We also talked about other disasters she’s covered, including the very personal experience of reporting on Hurricane Katrina nearly 20 years ago. If you watch Robin on Good Morning America, you know she’s a person who has a way of always looking on the bright side, even in the darkest of times. She talked with Sid about the way her faith helped her through a very public illness, the hymns her mother loved to play on the piano, and why she’s always wanted to get her pilot’s license.
