Ready To Stream: When A Good Morning America (GMA) Feature Goes Not The Way You Wanted

When A Good Morning America (GMA) Feature Goes Not The Way You Wanted

What happens when you get featured on Good Morning America, and the segment that the producer's air is not what you imagined - and you don't want to show it to anyone. What do you do? Can you still use it? How did this happen? MorayaSeeger DeGeare shares her experience during this TuneUp.

The dream came to this New York based relationship therapist - Good Morning America came calling. Moraya Seeger DeGeare of BFF Therapy in Beacon, NY  (you've seen her before at Tin Shingle!) started a chalk conversation movement from her side hustle activist brand - To My Old Racist Earth - during the beginning of the protests in 2020. And she activated it again in 2021.

Last year, a friend saw what she was doing and reached out. That friend worked for Good Morning America and wanted to feature the movement that encouraged children's participation.

Moraya organized several families for the producers to interview, and a lot of footage was shot. However, what aired was much different than Moraya expected. So much so, that she didn't want to share the full feature with her own following after it aired nationwide.

In the name of helping others, Moraya agreed to come on Tin Shingle's next TuneUp to talk about the experience. 

Here's what we covered:

• The Process: How the Good Morning America segment came to be.

• What to expect: Can the star of the story control the narrative?

• Analyzing the segment: What parts triggered Moraya and why.

• "Granddaughter Of": Moraya is the granddaughter of Pete Seeger, the musician who was a major figure during the Civil Rights Movement and in environmental justice. Will this always lead a segment, leaving a person feeling in a shadow?

• What to do next? What if you hate the segment? Should you bury it forever? No. We are going to milk it, and Katie will tell you why.

• Where do we go from here? You got Good Morning America - most people's biggest dream - now what?

• Sought After - but what if you want to steer? Moraya is approached often by the media as an expert in her field. When it comes to building buzz around her chalk movement, she realized that she needed to start pitching - just like everybody else! Katie will give her some tips. Not that she needs them! But all of us need tips and nudges.

On Tuesday, April 6, 2021, attorney and MSNBC legal analyst, Midwin Charles, passed away at age 47. The week before, she had postponed one of her group Instagram gatherings, saying she wasn’t feeling well. Before that, she celebrated Deb Haaland: “This is amazing news! Herstory made during Women’s History Month could not be more poetic. Deb Haaland is the first Native American to serve as a cabinet member in 2021? Appalling it took this long. Native Americans were almost driven to extinction by genocide when Europeans arrived on these shores. She is the 35th generation on this land. Yes, 35.” And prior to that, she had gone with her vaccine reluctant Mom to get vaccinated. Midwin was thrilled that her mother got vaccinated, and was encouraging friends to keep at their parents who were reluctant.

But In a post this week, her family reported that she had passed away. Her family reported: “It is with a profoundly heavy heart and the deepest sadness that we announce the untimely passing of our beloved Midwin Charles.” They continued, “She was known to many as a legal commentator on television but to us, she was devoted daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and cousin. Our lives are forever changed and we will miss her for a lifetime. The family thanks you in advance for your love and prayers.”

Midwin Charles, who also appeared on CNN and contributed to Essence magazine, and The Huffington Post, was born and raised in Brooklyn. She was a member of the Dean’s Diversity Council for American University’s Washington College of Law and served on the board of Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network (WEEN). With this, Charles was a member of the Civil Rights Committee for the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and lectured at Syracuse University. She founded the law firm, Midwin Charles & Associates, in New York City.

According to TODAY, Charles also worked for CNN as a legal contributor for “In Session,” and started “Infinite Possibilities of the Law Degree.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid shared she was “stunned” by the news of Charles’ Death. Reid tweeted, “Midwin dear heart, you were a brilliant spirit and beautiful soul. You were such a blessing, I’m just stunned, and have been since I learned of this today.”

The New York Post also shared that, “White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also paid tribute to the lawyer.” She shared, “This one hit really hard today. Rest in Power Sis @MidwinCharles.”

The podcast is about “all things Cannon,” and recently has been focusing on racism, white supremacy, and the police. Nick’s video, “I Can’t Breathe, Again!” went viral after COVID-19 broke out and the racial protests started after the murder of George Floyd.

According to the Deadline.com article, Nick made comments on racism, sharing that people who have “the lack of pigment” are “a little less” than those who do, and have “a lack of compassion.” He continued, “They’re acting out of fear. They’re acting out of low self esteem. They’re acting out of a deficiency. So therefore the only way they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape and [unintelligible] in order to survive.” He then shared, that Black people are the “true Hebrews.”

ViaccomCBS issued the following statement to Deadline:

ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism. We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class’ on YouTube, which promoted hateful speech and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism [Nick has since issued an apology], and we are terminating our relationship with him. We are committed to doing better in our response to incidents of anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry. ViacomCBS will have further announcements on our efforts to combat hate of all kinds.

Cannon shared with Facebook and Twitter: “Anyone who knows me knows that I have no hate in my heart nor malice intentions,” “I do not condone hate speech nor the spread of hateful rhetoric. We are living in a time when it is more important than ever to promote unity and understanding.”

He also specifically apologized to the Jewish community: "I must apologize to my Jewish Brothers and Sisters for putting them in such a painful position, which was never my intention, but I know this whole situation has hurt many people and together we will make it right," he wrote. "I have dedicated my daily efforts to continuing conversations to bring the Jewish Community and the African American community closer together, embracing our differences and sharing our commonalities."

Nick Cannon’s podcast, “Cannon’s Class” continues to air on YouTube, and he remains the host of "The Masked Singer" following his apology for recent anti-Semitic remarks.
