## Resource

Next week is the 25th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. This week, we are reliving some of those critical moments from the view of former CNN anchor, Carol Lin. Carol was one of the first news anchors to report that morning. Carol shares her experience and how her team carried many of us through that horrible day. Carole also discusses her fascinating and deeply personal book, When News Breaks, her career experiences, and the unexpected connections she has made throughout her life. When News Breaks is more than a memoir about being a journalist on 9/11. It's a powerful story about the duality of womanhood and the impossible pressure many women feel to succeed at work while simultaneously being present for their families, partners, and children.
