If you’re ever in Detroit, stop by the WGPR Museum: Telling Our Story and you will see this exhibit…That’s me on my very first talk show! “Strictly Speaking”. 🎤 It’s so cool seeing this video. I remember when we created that show. Even though we were a smaller station in the Detroit market, we made such a great impact with the show because we were covering issues of interest to the black community. Our stories have always mattered. #CareerHighlights #SuccessStories #BlackHistoryMonth #Godisgood
