KENTWOOD, Mich. (WOOD) — A lot of people have walked the halls of WOOD TV8. Perhaps one of the most well-known is Ginger Zee.
A West Michigan native and former member of Storm Team 8, Zee is now the chief meteorologist at ABC News, appearing daily on Good Morning America.
Zee has come a long way since her time at WOOD TV8, a journey to the top that certainly had some bumps along the way.
“This is a healing moment for me to realize I guess I don’t care,” Zee said.
When you live life in the spotlight in front of a national audience, getting to a place where you don’t care is huge. What viewers don’t see is that Zee is healing from a life marked by an abusive relationship, depression and a suicide attempt.
She lays it all out in her new book. The title, “Natural Disaster: I cover them, I am one,” says it all.
“I want you to know my flaws because I want you to know me better and I want you to know that person who has really nice lip gloss and shoes and a dress on has been fabricated by somebody else,” Zee said.
“Being real is such a big part of being a person. And it’s important to be able to be honest with your viewers. I think that honesty goes a long way with building a relationship,” Dustin Bonk said, referencing the frankness in Zee’s book.
