LU PARKER

25 years of experience in front of an audience

As a six-time Emmy-Award-winning television journalist, I have spent more than 25 years anchoring & reporting on news that informs, educates & impacts communities.

​

Along the way, I have interviewed some of the world's most fascinating people. My work and personal life have taken me around the globe, where I've had the privilege of meeting the Prince and Princess of Wales and engaging in conversations with visionaries like Nelson Mandela and Dr. Jane Goodall.

​

I have built a powerful network and deep relationships across Hollywood, sports, business, news, and the executive world. I bring a rare combination of on-camera presence, producing and storytelling expertise, trusted relationships, and a deep understanding of how to communicate and execute compelling content across platforms.

My experience spans television, red carpets, live events, panel moderation, podcast conversations, and breaking news - giving me the ability to engage audiences, ask thoughtful questions, and adapt to the moment.

 

My expertise goes beyond interviewing. I have covered presidential elections, 9/11, the Covid-19 pandemic, the January 6 insurrection, wildfires, earthquakes, school shootings and other defining moments that have shaped our country and the world. I understand how major events influence culture, business, entertainment and the conversations happening in communities and equally important, how to find the human story within them.

 

At the heart of my work is the ability to ask the right questions, recognize what matters, and connect people and stories in a way that resonates.

 

Today, I also use my voice to help people find their own. As a keynote speaker on reinvention, voice & kindness, I share insights on communication, the courage to speak up and how kindness creates success.

 

I am also the creator of "Her Voice Rising," a Substack newsletter for women ready to be bold, trust their voice & speak their truth. Through personal reflections, stories of women and practical insights, I explore what it means to live and lead with courage and authenticity.

 

When I’m not speaking or writing, I advocate for homeless animals, hike, play golf, and share a home with my 115-pound rescue dog, Moose.
