Mika Brzezinski

Have you ever watched TV in the morning? Mika Brzezinski is a super cool person who co-hosts a show called 'Morning Joe' on TV. She talks with her husband, Joe Scarborough, about important news. Imagine having a friend who tells you all the exciting things happening around the world, right from your living room! Mika helps make sure everyone knows what's going on.

Before Mika was on 'Morning Joe,' she had another very important job. She was a news reporter for CBS News. On a very sad day, September 11, 2001, she was right there at 'Ground Zero' reporting what was happening. It was a very difficult time, and she helped tell people the news. Now, she uses her voice to share important stories with everyone.

Mika's dad was also very famous! His name was Zbigniew Brzezinski, and he was a very smart advisor to the President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. He helped make big decisions for the country. Mika grew up hearing about important world events, which probably helped her become a great news person herself!

Mika is not just a TV host; she's also a writer! She has written six books. She also cares a lot about making sure girls and women get paid the same as boys and men for the same work. This is called wage equality. She's a visiting fellow at Harvard University, which is like a special school for smart people, where she shares her ideas.
