Beloved Broadcasting Star Brings Her Bubbly Charm to North Texas for Important Children's Cause
If you’ve watched daytime morning television, you’ve undoubtedly encountered Hoda Kotb. Her charismatic presence provides a jolt of energy comparable to your first-morning espresso to start the day.
The former “TODAY Show” anchor, New York Times best-selling author, and now podcast host was recently the keynote speaker at the 19th annual Chick Lit Luncheon in Dallas, Texas. The special event benefits the Community Partners of Dallas (CPD), who do incredible work for Dallas County’s abused and neglected children. It brought together over 1,200 corporate sponsors, table hosts, and select media. As an adoptive mother of two, Kotb knows how a positive family force can impact young people.
CPD President and CEO Joanna Clarke remarked on how important this event is for the community: “Every day, children are hearing, seeing, and experiencing things that many of us can’t envision with our wildest imaginations. But 24/7, Community Partners of Dallas is there to stand with the caseworkers and beside the children. We provide resources and experiences with the hope of bringing healing, safety, stability, and normalcy. And that is exactly why we need your help today.”

Kotb was the perfect messenger for this message, providing levity and hope to a cause that seeks to nurture and love the forgotten youth of Dallas. She shared anecdotes about the simple joys of motherhood, like the school car pick-up line and professionally co-anchoring the fourth hour of the TODAY Show without an earpiece alongside firecracker Kathy Lee Gifford. It was a formative learning lesson for Kotb, who embraced her sincerity, vulnerability, and warmth as the two chatted candidly, often going off the cuff without much direction and being their most authentic selves.
She approached the luncheon with a similar energy that bedazzled the room, especially when she FaceTimed former first daughter and Texas native Jenna Bush Hager, who she co-hosted on “TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.”
The talent is enjoying retirement from the airwaves, being a parent to her two daughters, and bringing laughter and behind-the-scenes insights to fans worldwide.
