Emmy-nominated journalist Lisa Mateo opens up about “what happened” to her to help others

Content warning: This video includes mentions of childhood neglect and abuse, and offers comfort to people who've experienced it.

Emmy award-nominated journalist Lisa Mateo embodies the word “versatile.” The mom of two reported every type of news there is in NYC, from reporting traffic from the chopper to hard news, to weather, to hosting a show with celebrity tastemakers - before setting off for the national stage. She’s done radio, TV, public speaking, fitness coaching, and now covers business news for Bloomberg.

In this video, Lisa shares what led her to give her acclaimed TEDx talk about childhood abuse and how we should consider asking people what happened to them before slapping a label on them.
