About Jade

Hello there! I’m Jade Gordon, a journalist with roots tracing back to the vibrant city of Detroit, Michigan. Graduating from Kentucky State University in 2016, I embarked on a journey fueled by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to truth.

My career took off at WTVQ in Lexington, Kentucky, where I spent two enriching years honing my skills and delving into the pulse of local news. In 2018, I found a new home at CNN, where I’ve proudly contributed my voice ever since.

With nearly a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve had the privilege of covering a diverse array of topics, from the intricacies of politics to the thrill of sports, the unpredictability of weather, and the pressing issues surrounding social injustice.

Through every story I tell, my mission remains steadfast: to shed light on the untold, amplify voices that deserve to be heard, and hold power accountable. Join me on this journey as we navigate the complexities of our world together, one story at a time.
