This is a story of determination and belief in one's self. Sally was a young woman who wanted a career in broadcasting at a time when no radio station in the United States would hire her because "a woman could not attract an audience". So determined she was that she paid her way to Puerto Rico and then onto the Dominican Republic to cover and sell stories on the uprising occurring there. She continued to pursue her goal in the United States and was fired eighteen times! She remained convinced that this was her calling and finally persuaded a TV executive to hire her. He offered her a job as a political talk show host. She knew nothing of politics, but she knew how to carry a conversation that people could relate too. She began her first program by talking about what July 4th meant to her. She invited listeners to call in and express their views. Her viewers loved her and eventually her own television program became a huge hit. Sally went on to win two Emmy Awards and her television show reach over eight million viewers daily. Sarah Jessica Raphael never gave up on her dream and reached incredible success. Knowing what you want and never giving up until you achieve it . . . it's a good thing!.
