A deputy communications director for the upcoming Democratic presidential campaign’s “America Coming Together” initiative during the 2004 presidential campaign, Reid worked for the Florida campaign.

Her next gig was co-hosting a morning talk show from Miami, “Wake Up, South Florida,” in 2006. Also in 2008, Reid served as the campaign press secretary for President Obama’s campaign in Florida.

Her political column at the Miami Herald, theGrio.com, and her own blog – “The Reid Report” – were all launched and edited in 2011.

A television news program called “The Reid Report,” which Reid hosted from 2014 to 2015, ended after one season after being canceled.

As a national correspondent for MSNBC, she was named to the network in 2015; her show, AM Joy, which was one of the network’s highest-rated morning shows in 2016, was named one of the network’s most popular shows.

Though she doesn’t post many sponsored posts, through her journalism and investments, she earns the most. Investing in her husband’s films and small companies is one of her favorite things to do.

She spent her entire net worth on her husband’s films and companies. It is not only joy that inspires us, but also hope. In spite of the controversy over her blog, we cannot deny that she is one of the most talented reporters and journalists we have ever had the pleasure of working with.
