Book Synopsis
Belva Davis recounts her remarkable journey from Monroe, Louisiana, up through the black radio industry in Oakland to become an award-winning news anchor known as the Walter Cronkite of the Bay Area.

Never in My Wildest Dreams is a memoir with a message. Raised in a dysfunctional family in Louisiana and the San Francisco Bay area, Belva Davis rose through the black radio industry, became the first black female reporter west of the Mississippi with her hiring at KPIX, and eventually anchored KQEDâs âœEvening Edition,â the stationâs nightly news show. Overcoming personal and career obstacles, Davis reported on some of the eraâs most explosive stories, including the rise and fall of the Black Panthers, the Jonestown massacre, and the Moscone/Milk murders. The book also recounts Davisâs interviews with world leaders, including Fidel Castro and three U.S. presidents.
