OUR HOST
Tashara Parker is an anchor and reporter at WFAA News 8 in Dallas, Texas where she covers traffic, breaking news and inspirational stories throughout the week. Featured as one of WFAA’s preeminent voices, the Daybreak anchor brings experience, vibrancy and authenticity, capturing the attention of DFW viewers in an engaging and informative way. Currently, the award-winning anchor is coined as a “community-focused storyteller”, a title received for her valiant efforts in highlighting organizations and people who have historically been underrepresented and misrepresented in mainstream media. As a visionary and one of Dallas’ most influential voices, she utilizes her platform to volunteer at several organizations including the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and to her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Tashara continues to carve her slate within the industry, poignantly bringing both DFW and the best in community storytelling to the forefront and beyond.
