Please tell us about your radio talk show, Off The Script. 

This show was created to allow space for entrepreneurs and community leaders to come in and talk about specific topics, such as mental health, business challenges, and relationships. Occasionally, we also have celebrities come on and talk about some of the challenges they have faced in the industry.

How did your career in media begin? 

My career started in media when I decided to get into filming. I feel passionate about providing information on real-life situations in documentaries and Talk Shows. I decided that I wanted to use media to provide more information about mental health, trauma, and relationships and bring a more visual type response or knowledge base for consumers.

What are some of the most memorable moments in your media career so far? 

One of the most memorable moments in my media career was when I was filming my talk show, and we talked about just so many of the traumatic experiences that the guests had. This is a space to allow them to be able to speak freely with a licensed earpiece about some of the channels that they hurt without any judgment.

How does journalism connect with or play a role in the additional inspirational work that you do? 

Journalism plays a considerable part in the other resources and emotional work that I do because I provide a lot of my knowledge and experiences through my blog.

What are some of the topics you chat about during the radio program? 

Some of the issues that I have touched on based on the door on the radio programs are things such as mental health, stigma challenges for business owners in many specific fields, and relationship dysfunctions.

Are you currently seeking guests? If so, who will best fit as a guest on the show? 

Yes, I am presently seeking guests for my show.
