What Could Robin Roberts’ Assignment Be?
Robin’s absence from GMA this week comes after the TV host’s hiatus from the morning show in September. At the time, she was on assignment in Ghana, where she immersed herself in the local culture and danced with traditional West African dancers.
While there, Robin met with Black Panther actress Danai Gurira. The pair went live on GMA for an African tour ahead of the upcoming Wakanda Forever movie.
