Roberts has been awarded multiple Emmy Awards for her international and national coverage of world events, including her poignant reporting on an Ethiopian American woman's emotional journey back to her African village to discover her long-lost mother. In 2021, Roberts was awarded a Peabody Award for the 20/20 special "Say Her Name- Breonna Taylor," which featured her extensive reporting on Taylor's tragic case. Roberts' long-form reports on 20/20 have consistently produced extraordinary narratives, such as an intimate profile of former first lady Michelle Obama and former first daughter Ivanka Trump. She was also part of the historic coverage of the inauguration of former President Barack Obama. Roberts is the author of Been There, Done That- Family Wisdom for Modern Times , a book written with her husband, Al Roker. She currently resides in New York City with her family. |
