Landing on Detroit’s WXYZ at age 14, she won her first Emmy for the television program “Kids Are People Too”. Studying journalism and traveling abroad, Lila soon discovered her penchant for all things adventure. Reporting in Flint, Michigan…Baltimore, Maryland…and Boston, Massachusetts, Lila covered breaking international stories and conducted high profile interviews with subjects such as Hillary Clinton and Salman Rushdie. She would eventually return to Detroit TV, where it all began; creating Extreme Lila, a series chronicling her adventures including swimming the Straits of Mackinac at night, riding motorcycles, and parachuting out of flying planes. Lila is also known for being a health advocate, in particular with the St Joe’s Mercy / Trinity Health.
