The 2024 president election will be one of the most memorable elections in United States election history. Both the Republican and Democratic party presidential candidates prevailed against the odds to become their respective party’s nominee. Former President Donald Trump became the first convicted felon to secure the Republican nomination and would be the first convicted president to win the presidency if he prevails, while Vice-President Kamala Harris is the first woman of Black and South Asian heritage to be a major party’s presidential nominee and would become the first woman president if she prevails. Regardless of which candidate ultimately prevails, both candidates have prevailed against the oddsto reach many of the goals that they have set forth.
Harris and Trump are not the only individuals in life who fought to prevail against all odds to achieve their goals and neither will they be the last.
On Morning Energy, we are going to spend time exploring the many achievements that people have often had to make against all odds as it relates to so many different areas of our lives.
I found out about WMNF through an outreach table that was set up at Sweet Water Organic Farm during my first visit there in 2012.
I had never really heard much about community radio stations at that time and became extremely intrigued as to why a radio station would have an interest in attending and/or hosting events in the community.
As I began to learn more from the Volunteer Coordinator at that time, I decided that the station would be a great fit for me in light of my background in communications and my ongoing interest in helping others.
One of my first volunteer assignments at WMNF was community outreach. I thought what better way to reach out to the community than in the same manner that I felt WMNF had reached out to me. After about a year of doing out reach service, I decided to try my hands at voicing promos/drops since I still had a passion for the arts. I also began helping out during the marathons.
Consequently, while volunteering during one of the marathons, I was asked by a former host to consider being one of their co-host because he liked my personality and the sound of my voice. I had never done formal radio work before, although I DID have a communication degree, however, my interest while attending college at that time was more towards television than radio. Nonetheless, I agreed. In addition to being a co-host on that show (The Damn Jams )(Hip-Hop) , other shows that I have co-hosted on while volunteering at WMNF are: Thee Righteous Temple of Hip Hop (Christian Hip Hop), The Early Bird Wake Up Show (Country), Blues With A Groove (Blues ), Mellow Music Encounters ( R& B and Blues) and Kingston 12 (Reggae). However, In February 2014,
I was thankfully given the opportunity to host and produce my own show.... MORNING ENERGY..... and it has truly been an AMAZING experience and journey for which I will always be thankful for!!!
