LaMonica Peters

Journalist | Host | Educator | Speaker 
Award-winning storyteller amplifying underrepresented voices nationwide.

From anchoring morning announcements at Crenshaw High in Los Angeles to reporting on national platforms like CNN, CBS, and ABC News Live, my journey has always centered around community and truth-telling.

After earning my B.A. in Communication Studies from UCLA, I started in radio at KJLH-FM and KPFK-FM, hosting The Peters Poll to spark public dialogue. That spirit of curiosity and connection has taken me across the country—from Mississippi, where I earned a Mississippi AP Award for Public Affairs, to Buffalo, where I contributed to a Public Service series that received a New York State AP Award.

My reporting has aired in San Diego, Seattle, and most recently in the San Francisco Bay Area at KTVU Fox 2, where I covered everything from elections, homelessness, technology to environmental crises. Throughout, I’ve remained committed to people-first journalism—centered on real lives, real voices, and real impact. In 2025, I joined community-focused, news organization The LA Local as a Reporter, covering Inglewood and South LA. I also became the host of California and Me, a public affairs program airing on MeTV that highlights nonprofit organizations based in Los Angeles. In February of this year, I launched the Black LA Uncovered podcast, where I uncover "the people, places and stories that shape the SOUL of Los Angeles."
 
I’m also proud to teach a broadcast writing journalism course at Palomar College, helping students develop the skills and integrity required for a career in news media today.
