Lorain County Community College’s Post

During her senior year at Lorain Admiral King High School, Tiffany Tarpley honored her fellow 1998 graduates by reciting a poem by Maya Angelou, “And Still I Rise.” In that moment, she knew her path would involve public speaking. But the road wasn’t easy. And an article in The Plain Dealer from 2000, featuring the then LCCC student, reminds her of that. “…the writer said 15 or 20 years from now Tiffany Tarpley would be a household name in Northeast Ohio. It almost makes me emotional when I see it because it’s a realization, I think, of the hard work that I put in. And it’s so interesting, going back and looking through old clips and old things that were saved, it reminds you of the ‘Nos’ and the doors that were closed. And how optimistic you were and how you fought and clawed your way and prayed your way, to get to where you always wanted to be.” Meet Class of 2024 Commodore Hall of Fame Inductee, Tiffany Tarpley, Emmy Award-winning journalist and weekday morning co-anchor of Good Morning Cleveland on WEWS Channel 5 https://lnkd.in/g2ZWtc3j #LCCC60Years #LCCCProud
