Radio
My professional radio experience started with Roger Plummer on WYLL
AM 1160 as an intern working on that station and a sister station
106.7 FM The Fish, Chicago. Roger Plummer taught me some real life
radio lessons which I did not get from prior experience (from in-house
mock radio station broadcasting to no more than 10 people) and it
has carried me far in my radio career. My sting with Roger Plummer
on the WYLL Morning Ministries is one of the greatest things to happen
to me in life. I proposed a show - African Rhythms to WNUR
89.3 FM Chicago (the largest student run radio in the US) while
at Northwestern University and to this day African Rhythms is a regular
show on WNUR and the number one African Show in Chicago. I produced
and co-hosted the show for about 2 years before moving from Chicago
to New York city. I believe my greatest mile stone so far in my radio
career happened when African Rhythms show introduced Africa's only
Grammy Winning Traditional Group Ladysmith Black Mambazo at their
2005 Chicago performance. It was a blessing to meet Ladysmith Black
Mambazo since they are one my favorite all time groups. |
