Deborah Roberts is an award-winning journalist who serves as co-anchor for ABC's 20/20, as well as senior national affairs correspondent for Nightline, Good Morning America and World News Tonight with David Muir. A media veteran, Roberts has traveled the world for her reporting. She has served as a substitute anchor for Good Morning America, World News Weekend and 20/20, as well as a guest co-host on The View. Roberts credits a teacher for helping to shape her life’s path and make her the person she is today. Everyone can name a teacher who sparked something in their life. Educators not only open our minds to new ideas, but they also help us recognize our potential and our passions. However, rarely do they get credit for the life-changing work they do, and often teachers have no idea how transformative they were, often influencing a student all the way into adulthood. Struck by the number of people she knew with a similar story and hoping to shine a light on the substantial impact that these educators have on students, she decided to collect these stories, along with her own, into her latest book. In her latest book, a New York Times bestseller, Lessons Learned and Cherished, Roberts curates a collection of essays and musings written by herself, celebrity friends and colleagues alike — including Oprah Winfrey, Jenna Bush Hager, Al Roker, Robin Roberts, Brooke Shields, Octavia Spencer, Rachael Ray, Misty Copeland, and more — highlighting how teachers inspired them, imparted life lessons, and helped them get to where they are today.
