Don Lemon is an American Television Journalist who is known for hosting on CNN. Despite the lack of support and his professors told him to consider an alternative major and direction, he moved from Louisiana to New York to pursue his career without a diploma and with only $200. Fast forward not only did he finish his degree at Brooklyn College, but he also became one of the most prominent names in journalism. In this episode, we discuss the trajectory of his career, his choice to move to the mornings, and what inspired his full transparency. Lemon is openly gay and has received various criticisms rooted in homophobia and race, but after coming out he gained the autonomy to be his true self.
