'This isn't a resting point, it's a launch pad' ? an interview with WWL-TV's Sheba Turk on the release of her new book


In March, WWL-TV anchor Sheba Turk and Pelican Publishing released Turk?s book Off Air: My Journey to the Anchor Desk, about growing up in New Orleans in a family of modest means, striking out on her own in New York City for college (only to have to return home when she no longer could afford to attend school there), and her meteoric rise from co-producer to reporter to traffic anchor to morning show anchor at WWL in just two years.

Turk credits her success to her loving, albeit flawed parents, a positive attitude and an abundance of strong female role models, including her mom and her mentors Kim Bondy, a former program producer and now-strategist and consultant, and Soledad O?Brien, former CNN anchor and now-CEO of Starfish Media Group. O'Brien also composed the book's foreword.

Turk celebrates the book?s premiere at a signing 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.?
