Pamela Brown
Meet Pamela Brown.
As an anchor at ABC we see Pam Brown every weekend when she covers DC’s latest stories and high profile, international news. In 2010 She was one of the few reporters to go to Haiti after the earthquake. Originally from Kentucky, Pam’s father was a politician while her mother was a Ms. America contestant and businesswoman. As a superwoman she also spends a lot of time working with DC’s nonprofits that focus on women issues. We’re so happy she had a moment to chat with us and give us the scoop behind the scoop.
