About the Speaker

Lucy

Lucy Bustamante

Lucy Bustamante is a 4-time Emmy-winning morning news anchor and journalist. Fluent in Spanish, Lucy is the daughter of Cuban refugees who migrated to the U.S. in 1969. She was born and raised in New Orleans in a home that only spoke Spanish. The skills she learned as a child, of translating between Spanish and English as a first generation American, formed the foundation for her role as a bilingual news anchor.

While at NBC10 in Philadelphia, Lucy was a pivotal member of the team that created NBC’s “American Vets” reporting series, in which she and other journalists around the country covered issues impacting veterans in the states and abroad. In November 2022, she co-hosted and co-produced American Vets: Beyond the Battlefield, an NBCNewsNow Veterans Day streaming special that highlighted the issues veterans with PTSD face.
