You’ve attended Council hearings in person. You’ve tuned in to our televised proceedings online or on TV. Maybe you’ve even checked us out on Twitter. Well, now you have the chance to listen to us on the radio!

My village said I needed to create a space and share my MOTIVATIONS, what struggles and obstacles I’ve OVERCOME, and how these events and situations have ELEVATED me as a person in different aspects of my life! Guests join me to share their own personal stories from hardships to triumphs and everything in between. Tune in for great conversation, thought provoking art, and inspirations for a better you, today!

Tonight is going to be different.

No chart countdown.

No label push.

No one telling you what to hear.

Just me scrolling Instagram… and realizing I kept stopping on random clips.

Some of them were ten seconds long.

Some were rough around the edges.

But something in them hit.

So I started saving them.

And these are the bands that made me stop.

Sometimes the best finds are the ones you weren’t looking for.
