What a power couple!
So what’s the daughter of America’s weatherman interested in?
Does she plan to light up the green screen just like her dad does?
Here’s what we know about Leila Roker, who’s grown up to beseriouslygorgeous.
The latter was the case for Roker and Roberts, who’ve been open about their reproductive struggles.
It worked, and Roberts got pregnant again.
“This time I was afraid to be too happy,” Roker penned inGuideposts.
Of course, Roker was overcome with gratitude.
“The only thing that could do that was the power and grace of God.”
And during that time, they’ve come to accept how different their parenting styles are.
Sounds like “go ask your mother” is said a lot in their house!
That divergence of styles was especially apparent when Leila had a big decision to make.
“Leila wanted to change schools… from middle school to high school,” Roker recalled.
Deborah was kind of against it, I was for it!"
So who won that battle?
Given that Leilawentto LaGuardia High School, it sounds like pops claimed that victory… this time.
And both of them admit that they were surprised when Leila agreed to go, given her personality.
“I am a city kid, so like, camping?
I’m not good at that,” sheadmitted.
So youknowthis is gonna be good!
Leila really wasn’t lying about being out of her element in the woods, either.
“There are animals and trees everywhere,” sheobserved.
“And I really don’t like birds because I’m afraid one will poop on my head.”
Someone must be accustomed to dodging NYC pigeons!
Plus, watching the duo try andset up a tent?Priceless.
So what’s her fashion philosophy?
“My style is fluid.
That’s a solid approach, for sure!
That also means she can really mix it up, depending on her mood.
Roker has regularly sharedherfashionadvice, particularly when it comes to shoes, several times inFootwear News.
She also cites her celeb fashion idols, including Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian.
We can’t wait to see what she’ll wear next!
In fact, that’s exactly what she did in anInstagram postshe made in 2017.
Still, Roker understands what kind of impact these hateful actions can have.
Pay no mind to the haters, boo!
We aredefinitelyhere for that!
For example, remember when the all-femaleGhostbustersmovie had a bunch of dudes feeling extra salty?
Well, she had something to say about it.
“Instead of the equipped, renowned comedians already cast?”
We’re picking up what you’re putting down, Leila!
Roker has also publiclylaudedreporterRonan Farrow, whose coverage of the#MeToomoment helped uncover the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
That cannot be easy.
Rather, Roker is shaping up to take afterher motherwhen it comes to her fledgling career.
That’s right: She’s a self-professed journalist, according to herLinkedIn page.
Looks like mom had a real impact!
Additionally, she’s been published inFootwear NewsandForbes, and has interned forPapermagazine.
Notably, in June 2020, she became a freelance contributor for Today.com.
That’s a pretty impressive resume for someone her age!
Roker is also interested in social media and public relations, in addition to fashion.
Chances are you’ll be seeing her bylines in high places in the future.
Coming from progressive NYC, that had to be anintensediscovery.
This, in turn, led to another revelation.
But rather than be overwhelmed or rest on her laurels, Roker sprang into action.
As a digital fellow, she worked with her university to prevent sexual assault on campus.
That is a prime example of leadership!
No wonder she looks so fit and strong!
The certification process was transformative for her, too, bringing positive new energy into her life.
Judging from the way thoseheadstandsare coming along, maybe we’ll see more yoga selfies in the future.
It helped that as a journalist interested in fashion, there was no shortage of interesting events to cover.
Paris Fashion Week, anyone?
“I finally made the decision Paris was for me,” she continued.
But in the end, her family let her remain in the City of Lights.
That’s something she’s dealt with for her entire life, thanks to systemic racism.
Rather, she implored people to stand up for what’s right.
“It’s time for us to go beyond hashtags and take action,” she continued.
Rather, before the 2020 pandemic hit, Roker wasquitethe world traveler.
And just before that in November of 2019, Rokerrang inher 21st birthday in Amsterdam.
Additionally, Rokerenjoyed timeby the sea in Croatia in August of 2019,the perfect time to visitthe country.
Sometime before that, Rokervisited Abu Dhabiwith her father on an assignment fromToday.
We wonder where she’ll go next!
