In this episode of the Retirement Life podcast, we sit down with Suzanne Malveaux—an award-winning journalist, storyteller, and mother—whose powerful career has spanned three decades at CNN and beyond. Suzanne shares what it was like to report from war zones, interview five U.S. Presidents, and tell stories that shaped a generation, including her unforgettable times with President Jimmy Carter, President George W. Bush, and President Barack Obama.
Now the CEO of Malveaux Global Media, Suzanne opens up about life after CNN, mentoring young journalists through her work as a board member at the International Women's Media Foundation, and balancing it all while raising a daughter. We also dive into her work on the LA Watts documentary entitled "Nothing to See Here", and how this story has built healing bridges in one of the most dangerous communities in our country.
Listeners will walk away inspired by Suzanne’s resilience, her commitment to truth and justice, and her evolving mission to use storytelling as a tool for healing, peace, and impact.
