Ever wonder why the iconic cat-eyes are the symbol for SmartHER News?
Spoiler alert: It involves YOU! Our sunglasses logo reminds us that everyone has their own perspective, their own unique style, but we should all be able to see the news clearly – and that's what SmartHER News is all about.
Shortly after starting SmartHER News, Jenna shared the following, but it still rings true today.
"We all have a favorite style of sunglasses. My go-to: cat-eyes (clearly). Our style of sunglasses reflects something about each of us, and literally frames our point of view. We each have our own style, our own perspective, our own vantage point. That's cool. That's what America is all about. But we should all have a way to see the facts clearly. And that's what's SmartHER News provides ...
Our motto? #SeeNewsDifferently - not just in how it's delivered, but in the way a news organization functions.
"I realized in order to deliver news better I too had be different ... and that meant making some tough choices and imagining how l'd ideally want a media company to function in order to deliver the best product to our consumer. So I traded my fake eyelashes as a national news anchor in Manhattan for building a business and killing scorpions in central Texas. #TrueStory. I've gone through a slew of new sunglasses and gained a whole lot of perspective. I've confronted a lot of unknowns, but here's what I've learned: If we want different results, we have to work differently. When it comes to news AND life. I know many of you are dissatisfied with the state of the news. I am too. SmartHER News is my solution. And because of you, our future's so bright we need to wear shades! (Heard that somewhere.) And I am DEEPLY grateful."
