This week on Bee Real with Sarah, Sarah sits down with Emmy Award-winning journalist and communications professional, Kalia Nicole Baker, for an honest conversation about layoffs, identity, grief, and discovering purpose on the other side of unexpected change. After spending more than 13 years in television news and achieving every career goal she set for herself, Kalia's life took an unexpected turn when she was laid off from her dream job in Dallas.
