The Entrepreneur Sessions: René Syler To Grit with Grace

- Karriär
René Syler co-anchored the CBS Morning Show from 2002-2006. Having started out as a local news anchor in Reno, NV, her ascent to the network level was meteoric. So, when she lost the job amid a network shakeup, it was that much harder to take.
René’s story is one of high highs, low lows, setbacks, and transformations. A Black woman, René long faced pressure to conform to conventional beauty standards, which lifted when she transitioned out of network life. Now a one-woman, full-service production company, René’s broadcast life continues — only now, it’s in a way that lets her be her natural self.
