#WAMNYC is a women in media org that I sit on the board of, and this year my friends planned the Halloween party. The goal: come dressed as a feminist who inspires you. I was a radio head (AM +FM) from my youth. I devoured audio! I loved Flex, @stretchandbobbito, @prairie_home. I had my own community radio show @wvoxradio in high school and by freshman year of college, I’d stay up all day and night finishing paintings or advertising designs while listening to @SternShow (who I later interned for) AND @AlanColmes (who I later met and was a guest on-air with).My favorite personality by far, was always @LisaEvers. She was the voice at @1010wins News radio by day, and this amazing hip-hop community advocate. I’d rush to the radio to catch @hot97#StreetSoldiers religiously. As a person who always reported on things in my community (on my own), I wanted to be like Lisa.Imagine my delight when @reggieosse interviewed Lisa on the recent @combatjackshow episode! I listened to it 2 times, then it hit me. The amazing feminist I want to be for #HalloWamOween is #LisaEvers. Thank you for being a great example of a woman, a broadcaster, a brand, a beauty and a community advocate, Ms. Evers. And thanks CombatJack for interviewing the coolest, strongest, smartest women.P.S. If you haven’t heard some of those interviews, I encourage you to go stream the #JamilahLemieux, #dreamhampton and #AprilWalker episodes of #TheCombatJackShow this week. Amazing interviews. Peace and happy Halloween y’all. 🎃
