A first impression is a lasting impression and I chat with media
veteran, Valonda
Calloway, about how we can look our best on camera whether we’re
shooting a video or
telecommuting via Zoom.
Valonda Calloway is a North Carolina native with an illustrious
career in media. She
began her journalism journey working for Voice of America, then
returned to the Tar
Heel State and found work at WNCT-TV as both reporter and anchor
before eventually
making her way to Raleigh to anchor and report for WRAL-TV.
A dancer and cheerleader since her early years, Valonda cheered in
college and in the
NFL for the Washington Football Team. Whether serving on the PTA,
mentoring
girls, or giving her time at a local food pantry, Valonda embraces
the verse, "to whom
much is given, much is required." In 2013, Winston-Salem
State University
named Valonda a 40 under 40 award winner and in 2015 she was
inducted into the
university's C. E. Gaines Hall of Fame.
Currently, Valonda is a spokesperson, freelance TV host, actress,
media trainer,
content strategist and dance teacher. In October, 2020 she released
her book Tips
From The TV Lady: A Guide For Making A Great Impression On Camera
And In
Person (grab a copy here:

Impression/dp/0578783517). Valonda is a proud wife to Randal and
mother to Lilyn.
