“I wasn’t afraid of being broke; I was afraid of being broken (…) if you don’t seize the life you want to live, who’s gonna do it for you?” — Neki Mohan, journalist & entrepreneur

Our guest this week, Neki Mohan, left her job as a TV news anchor in Miami in August 2020. When her former co-anchor of 10 years, Todd Tongen, took his own life in 2019, she knew she had to make a change. In our conversation, Neki shares wisdom earned through wide-ranging experiences – from growing up in Trinidad and Tobago to working her way through the television news industry as a woman and mother. She says she’s always thought of herself as ‘CEO of Neki Mohan, Inc.’ no matter what job she worked, but now she’s the actual CEO of her own media and consulting company. Neki is also a passionate mentor; she has been mentoring for the Women of Tomorrow program for 20 years.  She has also been an adjunct professor at Barry University and was recently invited to join the board of the Pace Center for Girls, Broward.
