Four-time Emmy Award-winner Sunny Hostin is a co-host of ABC Daytime’s morning show The View. People magazine recently exclusively announced that Sunny’s debut book, I Am These Truths, will be published by HarperOne (an imprint of HarperCollins) on September 22, 2020. An intimate memoir about growing up Afro-Latina, discovering her identity and her fight for justice, the book is written in her signature “no-holds-barred, straight-up style,” chronicling her journey from poverty to bringing a national spotlight to some of the most important news stories of our time.

Last fall, Sunny hosted and executive produced Investigation Discovery's six-episode documentary series, Truth About Murder with Sunny Hostin, which explores the stories behind some of the nation’s most notorious homicides. As a former undefeated federal prosecutor, and current victims’ rights advocate, she uses her expertise to connect with investigators and law enforcement and get to the heart of what exactly happened.

A former legal analyst and host for CNN and a Department of Justice Alum, Hostin is renowned for her in-depth analysis of social justice and legal issues. She has brought clarity and context to some of the biggest stories of the past decade, including the Bernie Madoff scandal, the George Zimmerman trial, the unrest in Ferguson and Baltimore, the AME church shooting in Charleston, and the Bill Cosby rape allegations. Following the election of Barack Obama, Hostin reported on potential cabinet picks, including correctly predicting that Eric Holder would be selected as the next Attorney General.

Originally from the South Bronx, Hostin has been a passionate advocate for marginalized communities throughout her remarkable career, and dedicates herself to a number of philanthropic endeavors. She serves on the board of Safe Horizon, the largest non-profit victims assistance organization that provides social services for victims of abuse and violent crimes. She also serves on the board of the Bronx Children’s Museum, the borough’s only cultural and educational institution designed to inspire children and their families.

A highly sought-after public speaker known for her lively and engaging style, Hostin addresses corporate and academic audiences alike. She delivered a TEDx Talk titled “A Possibility Model,” and has spoken at and moderated panels for the U.C. Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, Corporate Counsel Women of Color, and the National Bar Association. She provides empowering lessons on making a difference and pursuing your passions, illuminating insights on pressing social justice and legal issues, and moving remarks on overcoming trauma.
