Live on the Tamron Hall Show

I had the incredible opportunity to talk about my book live on national daytime TV on the Tamron Hall Show in NYC. It was so much fun, but I don’t think I had much time to process everything that was going on. It was nice to visit my friends though, I haven’t been back to NY since Jan of 2018.

Being on TV is not something new to me, I was re-occuring on a TV show for a bit and in 2018 I did three taped segments including Good Morning Washington, The TODAY show in Sydney Australia and NBC News BETTER for my book.

Yet, this was the first time there was a live audience. I can’t wait to do it again as I had a lot of fun.

Discovery Communications Rejection

So because i was not allowed to enter the contest put on by Oprah, i decided to submit my video as a pitch to the new west coast head of programming development for Discovery Communications. Guess what? I got my very first rejection email. Yeah! I’m just happy i got a response…. here is the video and the email below. Claire is a Production Assistant for Discovery Communications.

Dear Elena,

Thank you very much for sending us your materials.  Simon had a chance to review your submission, and while interesting, it’s just not right for us at this time.

Best of luck to you.

Sincerely,
Claire
