In the heart of Downtown Rock Island, our newest Local 4 News reporter Tahera Rahman is making history and breaking barriers.
It all started years ago after several internships, that's when Tahera figured out TV news was her real passion.
"I didn't have anyone who looked like me on TV, so I never really thought it was a possibility," said Tahera.
After years of rejection from news stations across the nation, Tahera decided to put TV reporting on hold and took a job as a news producer behind the scenes at our Local 4 news station in the Quad Cities.
Tahera's friend and co-worker Rachel Taylor told us, while Tahera was working behind the scenes, she never gave up on her dream.
"She would come in on the weekend and that's her day off but she really wanted this," Taylor said.
Tahera continued to work on her reporting skills during her free time.
"I was like, someday, someone is going to notice the work I'm putting in and give me a chance," Tahera said.
That day came this week.
On Wednesday, Tahera made her on-air debut, breaking barriers in the TV news industry.
