Meet Our People: Morgan Jessome
Eastlink Community TV, Nova Scotia
Morgan Jessome shows just how exciting life at Eastlink Community TV can be.
Acclaimed producer, host and author, Morgan Jessome is the driving force behind some of Eastlink Community TV's most popular shows. You may recognize her as the host of shows like "Black Films That Teach" or maybe you’ll catch her behind the scenes at a Mooseheads hockey game. Either way, Morgan has been a staple on the Eastlink Community TV team for almost ten years, and she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
Morgan started at the Eastlink Community TV studios as a volunteer while attending NSCC for Television Broadcasting. She learned the ropes of both on-camera and behind-the-scenes production and says she discovered a natural aptitude for the work and soon found herself in front of the camera.
She says one of the best parts of working at Eastlink Community TV is the team. A lot of her colleagues have grown into their roles together, and that's allowed for a very tight knit group. This sense of community is an important part of working at Eastlink and it’s one of the things Morgan loves most about working here.
During her time at Eastlink, Morgan has achieved some major career highlights, like hosting the "No. 2 Construction Battalion National Apology" broadcast a few years back. This national event was a momentous occasion for Canada, and Morgan played an important role as the host alongside former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
When she's not busy with Eastlink, Morgan is also a published author, with her debut novel, "The Real Me and The Real You” released in 2023.
From volunteering in the studio to becoming a familiar face on screen, Morgans journey reflects her curiosity, commitment, and love of storytelling. It's that passion - shared with audiences and teammates alike - that continues to define her work at Eastlink Community TV.
