From file clerk to legendary columnist, Bea Hines reflects on 60 years of breaking barriers as the Miami Herald’s first Black female reporter and a powerful voice in journalism.

Read the full article at the Miami Herald, and hear more from Bea this March when she speaks at TEDxNaples

It was on June 16, 1970, that Bea Hines transitioned from a Miami Herald file clerk in the paper’s library (or morgue as we called it), to a Miami Herald news reporter. That was 54 years ago.

What do you say when every answer matters?

For Richard Stevens, the answer comes from experience, with over 23 years representing more than 200 FBI agents in some of the toughest investigations imaginable.

In his book Investigation Defense: What to Do When They Question You, Richard shares 27+ essential pointers on how to handle yourself when questioned in any situation where the answers can have serious downsides, from insurance reports to police investigations to security clearances and beyond.

We’re calling this our unofficial TEDxNaples “Book Club” pick 😉 because these insights go beyond the page. They’re tools for real life, when the pressure is on and the truth matters most.

Catch Richard on the TEDxNaples stage next year, and grab your copy on Amazon!
