From his celebrated conversations with world figures, to his work to inspire the next generation of leaders, as a broadcaster, author, advocate and philanthropist, Tavis Smiley continues to be an outstanding voice for change. Currently, Smiley hosts the late night television talk show, Tavis Smiley on PBS and The Tavis Smiley Show distributed by Public Radio International. He is the first American to simultaneously host signature talk shows on both public television and public radio. In addition to his radio and television work, Smiley has authored fourteen books including the book he edited, Covenant with Black America, which became the first non-fiction book by a Black owned publisher to reach #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. He is also the presenter and creative force behind America I AM: The African American Imprint---an unprecedented traveling museum exhibition celebrating the extraordinary impact of African American contributions to our nation and to the world. Recently named one of TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World,” Smiley continues to effect social change in love and service.
