A two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and two-time winner of the American Women
in Radio and Television’s prestigious Gracie Award, Linda Lorelle anchored the evening
news at KPRC, Houston’s NBC affiliate, for nearly 17 years. Since opening her media
firm in 2009, the Stanford (B.A) and Mizzou journalism graduate (M.A) has garnered an
extensive roster of Fortune 500 clients, NGOs and educational institutions, and hosts
the award-winning podcast, Our Voices Matter, dedicated to reminding us of our
common humanity. In February 2024, she launched Civil Dialogues in partnership with
Jean Becker, former chief of staff to President George H.W. Bush. The democracy
project partners with presidential library foundations and the Kinder Institute on
Constitutional Democracy to host town halls across the nation, providing a safe space
for Americans to learn about and discuss difficult topics affecting the country, without
being demonized. As co-founders of the Linda Lorelle Scholarship Fund, Linda and her
husband, Lou Gregory, have awarded more than $4.7 million in college scholarships
and life skills training to nearly 400 Houston area students over the last 34 years. In
September of 2023, former Lorelle Scholars, joined by Linda and Lou’s daughter,
Lindsey, assumed leadership of the organization and are ushering in a new era.
