Brooke Baldwin is a veteran journalist who you've seen on CNN over the
last decade covering some of the world's biggest breaking stories. After more than 20 years in the male-dominated industry of TV news, often reporting on the world’s most powerful men, veteran journalist Brooke Baldwin spent two days back-to-back covering the 2017 presidential inauguration and the historic Women’s March in D.C. The experience changed her perspective and led to the question: what happens when women huddle? Baldwin’s new book HUDDLE: How Women Unlock Their Collective Power, is a blend of journalism andpersonal narrative examining how women have come together in a wide variety of times and places, to provide each other with support, empowerment, inspiration, and the strength to solve problems or enact meaningful change.
