Soledad O'Brien
Bringing Diverse America to Light
By Jenny Mero I
t's 11 in the morning in New York City when I meet Soledad O'Brien at her office in the Time Warner Center, overlooking
Central Park. O'Brien, 45, has already shed the on-air makeup and the yellow dress she wore earlier on her show, Starting Point on CNN, and has opted for a low-key look: a black turtleneck, black form-fitting jeans, black flat winter boots, and her hair propped in a po- nytail. Even in these muted clothes, O'Brien looks radiant and flawless, and I can't imagine there was ever a time she felt unattractive— but there was, as she wrote in her memoir, Te Next Big Story.
