Written by Sarah Quinlan | Oct 30, 2024 1:59:21 AM

READING | Connie: A Memoir, by Connie Chung: Connie Chung broke barriers as the first Asian American to anchor a major TV news program, and a generation of Asian American families named their daughters after her. In her new memoir, she looks back on her career.

WATCHING | Child Star, a Hulu documentary: Directed by former Disney actress Demi Lovato and American cinematographer Nicola Marsh, this documentary reveals the behind-the-scenes experiences of those who began working in Hollywood at a young age.

LISTENING TO | SmartHERNews, with Jenna Lee: This podcast is created and hosted by journalist Jenna Lee and declares, "We believe you’re already smart. We don’t need to tell you what to think or how to feel or what to believe. We just want to equip you with clear facts so you’re prepared for any conversation, any vote, any choice, and never feel like you’re falling behind."

EXCITED FOR | WPLN's #GratitudeCampaign! One reason we love this time of year is the focus on gratitude around Thanksgiving. Since studies show that expressing gratitude can benefit both our mental and physical health, WPLN will celebrate our annual #GratitudeCampaign later this month – follow us on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn) for an opportunity to participate and win WPLN swag!
