IT’S OFFICIAL! I’M THE NEW HOST! It is with great honor that I’m pleased to announce that I’m the new host of Philadelphia City Council Live on @onwurd Radio! ✨ Every Thursday from 10 am to 1 pm, you can expect to hear me live during each weekly Philadelphia City Council session. 🔥 After years of making guest appearances and being featured in segments, I’m glad to finally be a consistent fixture within the WURD family! ❤️ It has always been my dream to host this show. From my years in college as a City Council communications fellow to now being a political journalist, this show has always been a staple in how I studied and kept up with local politics. To my predecessors who have hosted this show before me, I’m truly humbled and inspired by the talent and wisdom you brought to this very important program. This is my first-ever dive into broadcast journalism in this capacity and I’m super excited. Shout-out to all of the producers and programming staff at the station who trained me for this major move. I’m super grateful to WURD CEO @slomaxreese, General Manager Ashanti Martin, and News Director @missjmedia for believing in my vision for this iconic program! I’m so glad to be a part of a landmark Black radio station like WURD and be a part of PROGRESSIVE Black media! ✊🏾 My debut is Thursday, May 25th, at 10 am when City Council returns to session. Please tune in wherever you are! For those who want to support me, WURD, and great programming like this show – I encourage you all to become a “Forwurd” member of the station. There are annual memberships and monthly memberships as low as $5 a month.

That’s faith in action. ❤️
