The way I was raised, family was always the most important. When I had our first daughter, Natasha, I knew that's what I wanted to do.
We struck an unusual deal. I'll get to leave CNN with my catalog and documentaries. We were able to create a brand at CNN — 'Black in America' — that I now own. I can take that brand and extend it in any way I want.
