Sunny Hostin, lawyer, journalist, and co-host of “The View,” grew up in the Bronx, N.Y. and experienced tough times without heat and hot water. She looked to her mother's suffering for motivation to get out of poverty. Hostin recalled in an interview with celebrity vlogger Paolo Presta, "It wouldn’t be the cycle for my children, no way. And I was gonna get my mom out of there too. My mom was suffering...my dad was strong, but my mom was suffering. We were all gonna get out of that situation.”
Now, Hostin is successful and her mother, Rosa, lives with her in Purchase, N.Y. Despite her successes, Hostin said that some people mistake her confidence for conceit. In fact, she admitted that she still has insecurities from being told that she wasn’t good enough to have her own show by a CNN producer. She said, "I was not only told that I would never be able to anchor my own show, I was used to audition other people for the show I wanted to anchor."
In 2016, Hostin became a permanent co-host on “The View”. She said that auditioning others for the position she wanted also took a toll on her confidence, but she endured it so that she could take care of her family. Hostin said, "And I did it for the money. I’ve got two kids in school, I’ve got a husband, who while he’s a surgeon, loves to do a lot of charity work, which is a great thing... and I just continued to do it, and every time I did it, it would chip away at my confidence."
Despite the occasional erosion of her confidence, Hostin said that she is confident in her faith, family, and the law. She said, "I’m only confident when I’m talking about the law, or the love that I have for my children and my husband, I’m confident there...always." It's clear that no matter the challenge, Sunny Hostin will face it with strength and perseverance, just as she did growing up in the Bronx.
