Kendis Gibson is a multiple national Emmy award-winning journalist. Over his decades-long career, he has covered some of the biggest stories impacting our world. He was one of the first journalists at ground zero following the terrorist attacks on 9/11, escaping only minutes before the first tower fell. Over the years, Gibson has anchored and reported on historic political races, from Barack Obama’s ascension to the presidency, to Donald Trump’s surprisingly successful 2016 race and Joe Biden’s victory in 2020. He has also helmed national television coverage for countless disasters, including the Las Vegas massacre, the El Paso shooting, and the Pulse nightclub shooting. Gibson has spent time as a major anchor for some of the country’s most prominent networks, including ABC, MSNBC, and CNN.

He is also a trendsetter and was one of the first to recognize the talents of Beyoncé and Maluma. Early in their careers, Gibson pushed for coverage for the little-known stars and went on tour with them, offering some of their earliest press coverage and cultivating friendships that have lasted years.

Gibson was born in poverty in Belize, Central America. After immigrating to the USA, he rose from the ground up through internships and varying television roles to become one of the most recognizable faces on network television in the country.

In his off time, he enjoys traveling and athletics, studies numerous languages, and immerses himself in the psychedelic world, which has helped him overcome many of the challenges he’s faced on his journey, and which he sees as a solution for people struggling with myriad ailments. He is on the boards of several organizations, including Animal Haven in New York City, which rescues dogs and cats from all over the world, and the Waterkeepers Alliance, whose mission is to ensure access to clean water around the world.
