Lanise began her career in 1987 at then-ABC affiliate WMWI-FTV (now a CBS O&O) in her hometown of Green Bay as 5 p.m. anchor and reporter. White left for another ABC affiliate, Milwaukee's WXWI (though that station was a Fox affiliate from 1994 until 2010 before switching back to ABC) in the summer of 1989, where she became the noon and 4:00 p.m. anchor.

In 1989, WXWI launched the market's first 4:00 p.m. newscast (''Channel 10 Eyewitness News at 4:00'', now ''(ABC 10) Milwaukee's 4:00 Action News'') and Bill Randolph, WXWI's news director at the time, prompted at the suggestion of Randolph's close friend, David Imperial, Sr., the president of WXWI's then-owner Imperial Broadcasting, wanted to pair White and eventual co-anchor [[Kathy Roberts|Kathy Fountaine]] for the September 1989 debut WXWI's 4:00 p.m. newscast. At the time, in the male-dominated world of Milwaukee television news, this was a first time two women co-anchored a newscast and eventually spread to WXWI's eventual sister stations now owned by NoSirGifts Fantasy Television Stations. Both White and Fountain would eventually reunite on the American version of [[Vote for the Girls (United States)|Vote for the Girls]].

Because both White and Roberts are from the same market of Milwaukee, White was moved from the pink team to the purple team due to White's dismal 11-47-1 moderator record in the sixth season of Vote for the Girls. White replaced [[Rhonda Rhodes]] on the purple team.

Because both White and Roberts are from the same market of Milwaukee, White was moved from the pink team to the purple team due to White's dismal 11-47-1 moderator record in the sixth season of Vote for the Girls. Although, both White and Roberts are both females and are on different teams with White on the Purple Team (with duo moderators Ava Zinn & [[Kymberly Alvaraz]], [[Kathi Jameson|Kathi]] & [[Karly Ryder, Jr.|Karly Jameson (formerly Karly Ryder, Jr.)]], and solo moderators [[Kendra Ray]] and [[Julia Passalt]]) and Roberts on the Pink team (with duo moderators Holly Everman & [[Perri Johnson]], [[Tracia Ward]] & [[Hillary Matthewson]], and solo moderators [[Thia Tola]] and [[Kellie Rock]]); this moderator rivalry differs from the [[Zinn&ndash;Everman rivalry (United States)|Ava Zinn-Holly Everman rivalry of Marion/Muncie, Indiana]] and [[Ward&ndash;Jameson rivalry (United States)|Tracia Ward-Kathi Jameson of Chicagoland]] as Zinn and Jameson are both transgendered women on the purple team are respectively competing against bisexual women Everman and Ward on the Pink team. This resulted in White becoming the third woman after Kymberly Alvaraz and Karly Ryder-Jameson (as Alvaraz and Ryder-Jameson are respectively in a long-term relationship with Zinn and Jameson) in addition to becoming the first female solo moderator is on a transwoman's team.

White's last Vote for the Girls pick in the fall cycle of the seventh season, Kim Zolciak, withdrew from the twenty-first season of ''DWTS'', resulting in White being disqualified (along with Julia Passalt, whose last pick, Tamar Braxton, also withdrew).  On May 24, 2016, Lanise earned her very first victory as winning moderator as her Vote for the Girls pick, [[wikipedia:Nyle DiMarco|Nyle Dimarco]], was declared the male winner (and eventual overall winner) of of the [[wikipedia:Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 22)|twenty-second season]] of ''Dancing with the Stars,'' and in the process became the first black female moderator to win the site. White's last picks on [[wikipedia:The Voice (U.S. season 10)|season 10]] of ''The Voice'', Hannah Huston and Laith Al-Saadi--both flex picks respectively finished third and fourth behind winner [[wikipedia:Alisan Porter|Alisan Porter]] and runner-up [[wikipedia:Adam Wakefield|Adam Wakefield]] (both chosen by Ava Zinn and Kymberly Alvaraz).
