This event is free of charge and is open to the public. There is no registration. Born and raised in New Orleans’ 7th Ward, Turk is host of The 504, a New Orleans entertainment and lifestyle program. She was led to broadcast news by the early influence of two invaluable mentors—former CNN executive Kim Bondy and journalist Soledad O’Brien. In addition to anchoring for WWL, Turk travels the country as an advisor for O’Brien’s PowHerful Foundation, which works to empower young women from low-income families.
