     "Regardless of how much money you have, your race, where you live, what religion you follow, you are going through something. Or you already have or you will. As momma always said, "Everybody's got something."

                                                            --Robin Roberts

Join Robin Roberts, award-winning broadcaster and co-host of ABC's Good Morning America, for a special WSHU Public Radio "Join the Conversation" event on Sunday, May 4th at 3pm at Sacred Heart University's Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts.  She will discuss her inspirational new memoir EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHING with WTNH News 8 anchor Ann Nyberg.

In her book, Roberts recounts the incredible journey that's been her life so far, and the lessons she's learned along the way.  She shares her stories of overcoming breast cancer only to learn five years later that she would need a bone marrow transplant to combat a rare blood disorder; the grief and heartbreak she suffered when her mother passed away; her triumphant return to Good Morning America; and the tremendous support she received from her family and friends.         

Roberts taught a nation of viewers that while it's true that we've all got something-a medical crisis, aging parents to care for, and heartbreak of all kinds-we still have something to give, be it hope, encouragement, a life-saving transplant, or simply a spirit-saving embrace.                

Ann Nyberg is the longest serving anchor-reporter in WTNH-TV's history.  Nominated  for multiple Emmys, she has interviewed some of the country's greatest broadcasters, including the late Walter Cronkite and Peter Jennings. Voted "Best News Anchor" for a decade in Connecticut Magazine's reader's poll, Nyberg anchors the 6 and 10 o'clock nightly newscasts on News 8, and hosts her own weekly show, "Nyberg."

The WSHU "Join the Conversation" lecture series puts you together with prominent speakers and your fellow public radio listeners for engaging and thought-provoking discussions. We look forward to seeing you at this, and many other events in our series!
