Summary
In today's episode, Emily sits down with guest Ivory Hecker. You may know Ivory from a video that went viral world wide where she called out Fox News on air for not allowing her to speak the truth to her audience. She shares that the news station was withholding life saving information during a pandemic and would not allow her to report on it and that didn't sit well with her. Ivory is now an independent journalist, with her own website and YouTube channel where she keeps it real and uncensored. She is also a singer-songwriter with her songs on all music platforms. Ivory shares her experience as a new journalist just out of college, building her career, overcoming heartbreak, getting fired for calling out corporate media, and how she is led to stay authentic and keep it real. This is an episode you do not want to miss. Share with a friend!

| 0:24.7 | a reporter who actually called out Fox on Live Air. Ivory Hecker, welcome to the show. Thanks for |
| 0:30.4 | having me. Yeah, thanks so much for being here. So before we get to that monumental moment that |
| 0:35.8 | thousands of people saw online, many people, I first want to |
| 0:39.8 | start off by asking, give me a little bit of your background in journalism, maybe your education, |
| 0:44.3 | and what kind of got you into it in the first place? Yeah, I got my broadcast journalism degree |
