Lori Stokes Left ABC News
What are fans going to do without that smile? The news of Stokes, 55, leaving ABC after 17 years, came in August and it was on good terms.

Stokes is a mother of two daughters and is a graduate of both Howard University and Ohio State University. Before ABC News, she worked at MSNBC, where she worked on NBC Nightly News Weekend, Weekend Today Show, and NBC Sunrise. She’s also a recipient of the George P. Foster Peabody Award for her coverage on 9/11, and she received the Congressional Black Caucus Celebration of Leadership Award for being a good civic role model.
