Jaden Jefferson Reports
I'm a 17-year-old journalist covering local, state, and national headlines from Toledo, Ohio. Welcome to my channel!
My journey to becoming an award-winning, nationally-recognized reporter/anchor began in 2019, with coverage of events in my hometown. That same year, I had my "big break" — an interview with presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren.
It was followed by appearances on CBS This Morning, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, as well as write-ups in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Root, and many others. And soon after, I made the first of many appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, interviewing influential celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, Naomi Osaka, Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet, and in 2022, Ellen herself, as part of her final season.
I've also been featured on the nationally-syndicated Live with Kelly and Mark, reported for the Sky News young adult show 'FYI' in the U.K., and hosted on local radio.
With that, buckle up and enjoy the ride!
