Nelson BC media veteran has worked with Larry King, Oprah’s network, appeared on The Bachelor and experience life as a bi-racial won in a tiny Canadian town, and the giant landscape of American media
As part of its four part series on Black History Month in Canada, Kootenay Co-op Radio’s Kootenay Morning current affairs show has been focusing on Black culture and chronicles in Southwest BC.
Sarah Schnare is a woman of colour who grew up in Nelson, the so-called Queen City, before heading off to a remarkable and genuinely star-studded career in the US.
The 45-year-old Schnare, who is bi-racial, moved to Nelson from St. Louis, Missouri, along with her brother Stephen, dad John and mom Catherine, when she was five.
She went on to attend Iowa’s Drake University on a track scholarship, then Georgetown in Washington DC where she studied media.
From there she ended up at CNN for 12 years working as a producer with interview giant Larry King, who passed away earlier this year.
In a two-segment conversation on KCR Wednesday, Schnare shared a glimpse into life with Larry and many other icons, COVID in California and the outright friendliness of we Canadians.
