TIFFANY CROSS - The Cross Connection , Young, Gifted and Black

 

I love The Cross Connection. If MSNBC is dealing with issues of social justice, policing, criminal justice and of course, sports, Black folks are featured in every segment. But if the subject is Russia, Ukraine, the stock market, the economy or politics and diplomacy, you see very few Black contributors from Joe through Nicole. When I watch Tiffany on Saturday I get to see and hear from Blacks, Latinos, API and Indigenous folks who are experts in their fields with impeccable credentials that I never see anywhere else.

Tiffany D. Cross is the past host of MSNBC’s The Cross Connection airing Saturdays from 10A-12P EST. 

She is the author of Say It Louder: Black Voters, W8hite Narratives, and Saving Our Democracy (Amistad/HarperCollins) and most recently served as a Resident Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics (Spring 2020). 

Her broad experience across media, politics, and policy includes more than two decades of navigating newsrooms and campaigns while engaging different constituencies on the ground. She previously served as the DC Bureau Chief of BET News and the Liaison to the Obama Administration for BET Networks where she covered Capitol Hill, produced political specials, and oversaw the daily operations of the news department. 

Tiffany cut her teeth in media at CNN where she worked as an Associate Producer covering Capitol Hill for the network’s weekend show unit. She also previously served as a Field Producer for America’s Most Wanted and Discovery Communications.

No stranger to the campaign trail, Tiffany not only covered campaigns but worked on them as well. She has lent her expertise to numerous local, state, and federal candidates as well as issue campaigns across the country. 

Serving as a senior advisor to one of the country’s largest labor organizations, one of Tiffany’s many tentacles was organizing all communities of color on both a local and national level. Using her media background, Tiffany has helped shape the narrative around issues, individuals, and ideologies.

Leaving the campaign stump, Tiffany transitioned from the control room to the green room when she co-founded The Beat DC, a national platform intersecting politics, policy, business, media, and people of color. With a readership comprising influencers across the country, Tiffany led a team that made the fast-moving current affairs in a busy legislative climate digestible for the political connoisseur and novice alike. She quickly became a sought-after voice in the progressive discourse and is a frequent guest on MSNBC, CNN, and SiriusXM.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Tiffany left at a young age and moved to Atlanta, Georgia. She attended Clark Atlanta University where she studied Mass Communications with an emphasis on radio, TV, and film. She currently lives in Washington, D.C.

The Cross Connection show was canceled by MSNBC on Friday, November 4, 2022.
