Amara Walker Biography
Amara Walker is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and media executive with more than two decades of experience in broadcast news and communications. Walker graduated from the University of Southern California with degrees in broadcast journalism and political science. She began her career at KMIR-TV in Palm Springs before joining NBC-owned WTVJ in Miami, where she worked as a news anchor and general assignment reporter. Walker later moved to WFLD in Chicago, reporting on major local and national stories, including the Chicago teachers' strike and President Obama's re-election campaign.
Walker joined CNN as an anchor for CNN International, covering major international news events and serving as a lead breaking news anchor. She anchored a three-hour daily news program on CNN International's "CNN Today" alongside Michael Holmes. Her coverage included the humanitarian and political crisis in Venezuela, demonstrations in Hong Kong, the Notre Dame Cathedral fire in Paris, the truck attacks in Nice and Berlin, the La Rambla van attack in Barcelona, the attempted coup in Turkey, and the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Walker led CNN's initial coverage of the Ottawa shootings at the Canadian Parliament, which was simulcast on CNN and CNN International. She received an Emmy Award nomination for her breaking news coverage of the Manchester Arena bombing attack and won an Emmy for her reporting on the Israel-Hamas war. As a correspondent, Walker reported on the Atlanta spa massacre and the response from the Asian American community, and co-hosted the primetime special "Afraid: Fear in America's Communities of Color" with Anderson Cooper, Victor Blackwell, and Ana Cabrera. She has also addressed anti-East Asian discrimination, both on air and in published opinion pieces. Walker was named co-anchor of "CNN This Morning Weekend" and worked across CNN, CNN International, and CNN Max as both anchor and correspondent.
Walker was appointed Vice President of Public Relations at Porsche Cars North America, where she oversees external communications, corporate and product communications, public relations strategies, experiential programs, and content creation for the Porsche brand in the United States. Based in Atlanta, she is also involved in philanthropic work, serving as a Celebrity Champion for the Alzheimer's Association and as a member of its Board of Directors.
