My show began when I was on YSU’s Rookery Radio from 2013-2017. After graduating I continued to do my show as a freelance reporter covering professional camps for athletes, local high school basketball music festivals and interviewing celebrities such as MC Lyte, Michael Vick, Sinbad, Tommy Davidson and more. This year my show collectively reached 100,000 views on my social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
