Jacque Reid Encourages Students

Renowned news reporter and motivational speaker, Jacque Reid, was the guest speaker for the SCLC Youth Leadership Development Workshop at the Kauffman Foundation, Thursday morning.

Jacque, is currently a news correspondent on the nationally syndicated radio program, the Tom Joyner Morning Show. In addition, she is a guest host on the ABC daytime syndicated talk show, The View. Before her recent accolades, Jacque served as co-host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Steve Harvey Morning Show, CNN Headline News and BET Nightly News.

Jacque spoke to approximately 300 local high school seniors on how focusing on a profound career, staying focus, making better choices in life and importance of role models. During the workshop, students broke out into six small groups discussing topic such as: Gang Violence, Has Integration Helped or Hurt Us, Money/Credit Management, Peer Pressure, Choosing a College Major, and Educational Alternatives & Career Paths. All discussion groups were led by past SCLC Black Achievers.

Jacque has a wonderful personality and smile. Some might not think she’s a celebrity but in book she is. On TV she looks pretty tall or at least 5’ 10” but in reality she’s no taller than me (5’ 7”).
