A few great photos and quotes from a cover story on Soledad O'Brien in PALM BEACH.
“It has been really fun and really stressful and really challenging and really hard at times—and really freeing at times too,” she says of her work. “I like policy stories. I like stories that confront race in America. I like stories that [make us] confront what we believe and what we think we believe. Finding those projects and figuring out how to tell them is the creative part.”
“I think in the craziest of times, the unhappiest of times, the most stressful of times, storytelling matters the most,” O’Brien says. “I don’t know how we find a way for people to come together around being kind and just and fair and not hateful except for understanding each other. And I don’t know how you help people understand each other better except for stories.”
O’Brien and her eldest daughter are both equestrians who had been shipping their horses to Wellington for the winter season each year. At first, they were staying in local hotels. But, during a weekend stay at an Airbnb, O’Brien fell in love with Flamingo Park. She bought one bungalow, then a second, and finally the house where she and her family live from November to May each year.
