Rochelle Ritchie is a seasoned media and crisis communications expert, writer, and highly sought-after political analyst featured on Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, MSNBC, CNN, i24 News, The Breakfast Club, Revolt TV, and News Nation Now. Her op-eds have been published in the Washington Examiner, The Hill, BET, Blavity, The Root, Baltimore Sun, and others. In addition to her television appearances, Rochelle serves as a freelance consultant for politicians and senior corporate leaders, often drafting press releases, statements and op-eds on their behalf. Prior to her appearances on national and international networks, Rochelle served as a congressional Press Secretary for the House of Representatives Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC). While working on Capitol Hill, she developed strong relationships with national media outlets and facilitated interviews for the co-chairs of the DPCC — Reps. David Cicilline, Cheri Bustos, and Hakeem Jeffries Chairman of the Democratic Caucus. Rochelle’s media experience made her a trusted press consultant who was assigned by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s press office to provide media training to staff. In this episode we discuss media and crisis communications, being a black woman working in media, prioritizing your mental health and living life in the present moment.
