journalist Soledad O'Brien
by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders
The journalist, Soledad O'Brien, has created a significant niche for herself focusing on a necessary craft: telling the stories of a people. She has a production company, Starfish Media Group. The company has mastered the craft of creating and selling documentaries to the networks. She is a heavy hitter with the major players. With HBO she has a deal to give this network first look at her productions, and with CNN she has an agreement to continue her series, "Black In America". There are many things she has done as a journalist and are doing that shift people's thinking and perceptions.

This month she signed a deal with HBO's "Real Sports" anchored by the brilliant man, Bryant Gumble. Her first story this month will be about war veterans using  the martial arts to cope with their war sickness. I use the original description of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because it is honest, and does not distance a person, or the population from a condition with so much potential to spill into the everyday life of many people in an instance. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.16.13
