Thank You

I celebrated my year on the air like I celebrate many things in my life-quietly. This Sunday I casually mentioned that my show has been on the air a year and that it has been a labor of love and frustration. Ha!

Well, since Sundays show with the legendary Melba Moore-I have been bombarded by friends and my sister about how I don't really promote the show. How I allowed an entire to come and not say anything nor do any type of hoopla thing for it.

I am just not one to toot my horn. I can sing my butt off-yet I have no desire to sing professionally. I clown around so much that folk THINK I can't sing, but I attended P.A. schools my entire life.

I assistant has been trying to get me to write my bio and those who know me want me to write a book. The bio I will eventually finish-but the book-mehhhh. lol

You see, I am the type of person when I see something that needs to be done, or done the right way-I just jump in.

My former co-host and I had LEGENDARY fights about me promoting and advertising folks on my site for FREE.

As economically challenged as I am-I still won't charge. Because I feel it is my place to help not just benefit monetarily. I feel the money will come eventually.

Don't get me WRONG nor TWISTED, I am not naive nor stupid. I am a woman with a vision and I am walking this journey by good judgment and faith.

No one will ever take advantage of me. As easy as one goes up-the delete button is a beautiful thing! lol

I am just crazy to follow the vision that had been given to me. In my journey, I have been asked to compromise my standards and my position and I have found the strength to refuse.

In my journey I have had what I love to refer to as REHEARSALS. The trial and error parts of life. The disappointments and the sheer glee when things have gone right.

One of the things I have learned in particular when working with my fellow black race-I have learned that we are distrustful towards one another. If your last name isn't Shapiro or Horowitz, you can't be legit.

I have had folks raised an approving eye when I say RADIO SHOW, then when is informed that it is on the internet-I have seen the disapproving eye. lol

If I were on FM radio here, I am only aired in the tri-state area. I am reaching FAITHFUL listeners in Germany, the UK, and New Zealand. In other words-THE WORLD.

I don't do gossip but I will blast a fool when the occasion requires me to. I am not beholden to sponsors who tell me what to say or how to do my show.

I want to the type of show that I would want to listen to.

I know and understand the responsibility I have to my listeners. To always be honest and as open as I choose to be.

So, I thank God for my year in radio. I humbly thank my fans and my friends who support me. I thank God for growth and maturity.

I also thank YOU my blog readers.
