Michaela Pereira is a CNN anchor, who began her career at CHEK-TV in Victoria, British Columbia as host of a magazine show and documentary special.

Background and Upbringing

Michaela Pereira was raised as one child among five adopted children. She came to know about her adoption at a very early age and always wanted to meet her birth mother and father so that she could connect to them. All five siblings are from different ethnic backgrounds. The different ethnicities of her siblings led the television personality to become a strong advocate for the rights of all children. After large amounts of effort, Michaela managed to meet her biological mother. However, after their meeting, Michaela's mother passed away from colon cancer just a year later. She never succeeded in meeting her father but came to find out that she has a half-sister, who she has met, so there was a happy ending to her story after all.

As a student, Pereira attended a public high school in the Cariboo town of 100 Mile House, British Columbia. The school was known as Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School. After graduating in 1998, she became a student at Camosun College and the University of Victoria, also located in British Columbia. She now works and resides in the United States but she still keeps her Canadian citizenship. Another benefit from her multi-ethnic family background is her multi lingual nature. She now speaks Portuguese fluently, aside from English which is her mother tongue.

Broadcasting Career

Upon her college graduation, she started her career as host of a magazine show and documentary special in CHEK-TV in Victoria, British Columbia. At the same time, she made frequent reports on entertainment, weather and sports. After that, she became the co-host of the Internet Tonight show on ZDTV. The nature of the show was to inform the viewers on news, both national and international, as well as to look out for informative, fun and any kind of websites that appeared interesting for the show. When it got cancelled in 2001, Pereira served as a regular host on TechLive for 3 consecutive years until 2004, when she signed with KTLA in Los Angeles.

Her career skyrocketed while working for KTLA in Los Angeles. She gained major popularity from the major network because it was based in the famous city of Los Angeles. She then moved to CNN to become a host of the 'New Day' which was a huge milestone for her career. At CNN, she gave the new generation of viewers a chance to learn about her.

She debuted her new show on HLN, based in Los Angeles. HLN made a big announcement prior to the debut, stating that the new 3-hour show would be called 'Michaela'. Describing the show, HLN said, “Michaela’ is the only national morning news program broadcast from Los Angeles. ‘Michaela’ has an upbeat vibe with issue driven conversation, lively guests, and breaking news. ‘Michaela’ explores the conversation about the people and passion that drive the day’s headlines.”

She has won three Golden Mic awards, two Emmys and two <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Twain">Mark Twain</a> awards for her excellent work. Pereira herself said from her office at CNN’s Hollywood bureau: “I get stopped on the street by people who say, ‘We’d get up at 3 in the morning to watch you on CNN, and we’re so glad you’re home. It’s like they get what it’s like to come home themselves,” she says. “It’s really moving.”

Unique Characteristics

Michaela’s race is a very interesting topic. While being adopted by a white couple, her biological mother is a White Canadian and her biological father is a Black Jamaican. Four of her adopted sisters are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States">Native American</a>. She said that her foster parents gave her a stable and comfortable place to stay in. She also once said that the diversity of races in her home led her to take up a career filled with interaction with different people.

Her looks were never a top priority for her. Many people talk about her weight and the fashion choices, specifically color tones that don’t match with each other but, she doesn’t seem to mind. She prefers concentrating on her active life. She is a part of many organizations like the Black Journalist Association of Southern California, National Association of Black Journalists, American Women in Television and Radio and NAACP. She also is a strong <a href="/biography/michaela-pereira">advocate</a> of the rights of children, not to mention her position as a board member of the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). The famous activist is always working hard for the causes she believes in even when is not actively promoting her charity work.

Personal Life

When it comes to her personal life, there have been no affairs or relationship issues that have ever been caught in the spotlight. She has not announced anyone as her boyfriend and is also not seen anywhere with a guy who can be tagged as her lover.

There were rumors circulating about Pereira being pregnant, but those claims were found to be untrue. She never talks about her love life or the kind of person who would be her ideal husband. There are no details suggesting why she is not very active in her dating life. Though she talks about her parents and childhood a lot, she never shares much about how her life is going on at the moment when it comes to dating.

It is speculated that the renowned anchor is maintaining her privacy in order to avoid rumors.  She is spending all of her time to enhance her career and make society a better place. Michaela appears happy and satisfied with her life as it is. She does not need a man in her life to feel complete. She has gotten to this point in her life without the help of a man. She is a strong and independent <a href="/biography/michaela-pereira">woman</a> that has been able to get things done in her own merit. If there is a man that will meet her standards, she will be open to meeting him.
