Bio

I’ve been blessed with many things in life-the first being the mother of two sets of twins (boys-7 and girls – 16 months), a wife and a first grade teacher.

Growing up listening to radio with the women in my family, I was naturally developed
a love for radio. As a child, I was an avid listener to a local children’s radio program.
My love for radio continued to grow when I discovered that there was a lack of
children’s media especially radio that shared my love for African and culturally
inspired stories.

I entered college (Clark Atlanta University) in efforts to learn more about
developing radio and other media programs. During my undergraduate experience,
I created many mock children’s radio programs. Upon completing my Mass Media
arts degree in Radio/TV/Film, I continued to experiment with children and radio as an Atlanta Public Schools teacher. I created and implemented a broadcast journalism curriculum for high school students, giving my students many opportunities to turn their essays and other written pieces in audio adventures. I also gained many experiences by interning at various radio stations including Radio Disney.

Combining her love for stories, children and education, I want to create a radio
program designed to help her children and others increase their aural, oral and written communication skills through audio literature.
