María de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien[1] (born September 19, 1966)[2] is an American broadcast journalist and executive producer.[3] Since 2016, O'Brien has been the host for Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien, a nationally syndicated weekly talk show produced by Hearst Television. She is chairwoman of Starfish Media Group, a multiplatform media production company and distributor that she founded in 2013.[4] She is also a member of the Peabody Awards[5] board of directors, which is presented by the University of Georgia's Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

O'Brien co-anchored CNN's American Morning from 2003 to 2007,[6] and was the anchor of CNN's morning news program Starting Point from 2012 to 2013.[7][8] In 2013, O'Brien became special correspondent on the Al Jazeera America news program America Tonight,[9] and was also a correspondent on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel[10][11] until the show's final episode in December 2023.[12]

Early life and education

[edit]

"My parents were both immigrants—my mother from Cuba, my father from Australia. Both attended daily Mass at the church near campus. Every day my father would offer my mother a ride. Every day, she declined. Finally, she said yes. One year later, the day after Christmas, the two of them were married."[13]

O'Brien was born and raised in St. James, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island to Edward Ephrem O'Brien (d. 2019), a mechanical engineering professor at Stony Brook University, and Estela O'Brien (née Marquetti y Mendieta) (d. 2019), a French and English teacher at Smithtown High School West.[14] Her parents were both immigrants and met while they were students at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.[15] Her father is from Toowoomba, Queensland, in Australia and is of three quarters Irish and one quarter Scottish descent.[16][17][18][19] O'Brien's mother is from Havana, Cuba, and is of Afro-Cuban descent.[17] When she was 14 years old, she came to the United States, sponsored by Oblate Sisters of Providence of Maryland.[20]

Interracial marriage was illegal in Maryland before 1967, so in 1958 O'Brien's parents married in Washington, D.C., where marriage laws were less restrictive.[15] The newly wedded O'Briens then moved to Long Island, to the town of St. James. O'Brien is the fifth of six children, all graduates of Harvard College.[citation needed] Her siblings are law professor Maria O'Brien[21] (born 1960), GE corporate lawyer Cecilia Vega (born 1961), businessman Tony O'Brien (born 1962), who heads a documents company, eye surgeon Estela Ogiste (born 1964), and anesthesiologist Orestes O'Brien (born 1967).[16][17][22] Her niece is journalist Antonia Hylton.[23]

O'Brien graduated from Smithtown High School East in 1984.[24] She attended Radcliffe College from 1984 to 1988, starting as pre-med and English and American literature, but left to take a job at WBZ-TV.[1][25] O'Brien went back to school while pregnant with her first child and earned her degree from Harvard in English and American Literature in 2000.[1][26]

Career

In "The Black Woman & Family", O'Brien explored the varied experiences of black women and families and investigated the disturbing statistics of single parenthood, racial disparities between students, and the devastating toll of HIV/AIDS. The fifth installment of the Black in America series aired in December 2012.[34] Her report on children and race featured the work of Margaret Spencer, based on the Doll Tests of the 1940s, polling children on their general color preferences: "white children have an overwhelming white bias, and black children also have a bias toward white, according to a new study.."[35]
