Advocating For Yourself
As the Senior White House Correspondent for CNN, PAMELA BROWN has learned how to stay the course when someone tries to shake her off. She knows the art of the follow up question that gets the answers she wants - a skill she honed as a professional member of the press and also as a woman who has built her career by knowing her value, advocating for herself and persisting.

Sometimes You Have to Lose to Win
PAMELA BROWN shares her personal story from local news reporter to White House Correspondent for CNN. She covered the Trump White House during both of her pregnancies, and balances motherhood with a demanding career. But on the road of personal fulfillment, sometimes you have to lose to win. In this intimate talk, Pamela shares some wins and losses of her journey, as well as those moments that transformed into something unexpected- but better.
Grief, Postpartum Anxiety, and Getting Through
PAMELA BROWN, CNN Senior White House Correspondent, still feels the loss of her mother like the day it happened. Her mother passed away due to a rare blood cancer at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and Pamela was unable to move through the grieving process due to social distancing. Pamela gave birth to her second child right before losing her mother, and began to experience intense postpartum anxiety until she received the appropriate help and support. Today, she hopes that by sharing her story of grief, postpartum anxiety, and loss, she can remind audiences that they are not alone, and it is more than okay to ask for help.
