Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to community viewpoints.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Is Shawnee feeling blessed and highly favored On this Sunday morning,
we are empowering a community, a nation, people who are
considerate of a growing legacy. So today I have on
the phone Marcia Washington George. She is the vice president
of the National Black Radio Hall of Fame. Good morning, Marcia.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I'm fine? How are you?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You know?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Marcia?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Excited, excited that I get to speak with you, Excited
that we get to talk about something that's very dear
to your heart. But before we get into the National
Black Radio Hall of Fame, tell us a little something
about who is Marcia Washington George.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'm known in an industry as the radio Lady because
I always make sure that I get all of the
historical pieces of black radio history and the biographies so
that we can keep the history maintained and have something
to show for our people. I am the niece of
Jacksonville owned kN Knight, and a lot of people know
(01:08):
ken Knight had his own street named after him. However,
he was one of the first black disc jockeys in
the United States. He started in his hometown of Daytona,
Beach in nineteen forty seven and came to Atlanta opened
up the first black on radio station in the United
States in nineteen forty nine. Nineteen fifty he moved to
(01:30):
Jacksonville and remained there throughout the rest of his career
with the television show and a radio show. So I
was influenced by that growing up as a child. Uncle
Kenneth was my babysitter, so to speak. So out of
all of the family, I'm the one that admired his
work and became a mascom major and went on with
(01:53):
that in my career. So that's where I am. I'm
the author of Black Radio Winner Takes where all of
the pioneered DJs for their passing gave me their story
and I put it in the book.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Imman.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
If you're just tuning in Shawnee speaking to a legend
in her own right, Marcia Washington George, vice president of
the National Black Radio Hall of Fame, here today to
talk to us about the five oh one see that
she has groomed so that it could create the legacy.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So talk to us about the five o one.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
See.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
How long have you been serving for a black.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Radio A gentleman by the name of Bernie Hayes, who's
also in the book, contacted me in two thousand and
ten and told me that he was starting the St.
Louis Black Radio Hall of Fame because the National Radio
Hall of Fame in Chicago was not including minorities, especially
(02:50):
our people, so he thought he would start his own
in St.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Louis.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
And he asked me what I helped him with that,
and then he called me back a couple of years
later around and fourteen, and he said, let's make this
thing national. And we started the idea that he birth
the National Black Radio Hall of Fame, and we started
getting an information from individuals from across the country to
(03:16):
start recognizing them for the work that they had done.
And in some cases we had to get the posthumous
information because these leaders community leaders had passed on me.
Five oh one. C three came about because there were
grants needed in order to keep the national office functioning.
(03:37):
The National Office of the National Black Radio Hall of
Fame is located in Saint Louis, Missouri, at Harristowe State
University on that campus, and there are a lot of
people that have been sending in all of their artifacts
so that we can expose some things from black radio history.
(04:00):
The five oh one C. Three became active in other
chapters as we bought the chapter see in Atlanta, Charlotte, Florida,
and so on.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And with this, Miss Marcia, I understand that you put
this together because we, as African American people were not
being recognized for the contributions or accolades that we played
a part in. And I say we as a fellow personality,
someone who is on a platform.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So with this movement, because this is a movement, how
did you really start?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You know, I know know people are behind you, but
how did you get the nation to recognize that something
was wrong?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Is it with this movement?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It was this With this movement, Bernie Hayes is now
eighty four years old, and he worked in radios over
fifty years, and he had not been recognized. And I
saw that what he wanted to do with the National
Black Radio Hall of Fame was to honor his peers,
the ones before him and the future generation. And since
(05:08):
I had the skills to help him with that, I decided,
as a retire project manager to come on board and
get everything together. A lot of people still don't know
about it, so I do appreciate this interview. We're spreading
the words more and more about the organization.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Regarding the organization, I'm looking at the website and you
have a plethora of services that the National Black Radio
Hall of Fame offers.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Would you care to share some?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And I see that drop the Mic for our young
ones coming up is very interesting, So talk to us
about those services.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Ms. Marsha.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The drop to Mic program started before the pandemic, and
it was something that we wanted to do for the
younger people, even though they might not be having want
to going to radio or in a field of broadcasting,
but to know how to speak well and present themselves.
(06:06):
We got in touch with the school teacher that was
in another county outside of the county that we worked
from with we work out of Fulton County, and they
were over in Douglasville. She was over the debate club
for a lot of the students in the metropolitan Atlanta
area and we went and met the students casual call
(06:27):
from the former Universal Circus announcer, and we liked what
we saw that these kids, these were kids in sixth grade,
seventh grade, eighth grade, ninth grade debating on our heroes
like Martin Luther King and so forth, and they would
get the subject and then they would have to debate,
and they would rehearse and rehearse several weeks and then
(06:49):
they would have the debate contest. Well, we thought we
should come in and help groom them since we have
the talent to help them with this type of growth.
We had the students to come to the World Congress
Center to the program and they all did a debate
on Martin Luther King. Well, all of the students who
(07:12):
were debating except for one, had been in the debate
club for a long time. This young lady came in.
It was in about tenth grade and she was the
one that ended up winning the award. That was her
first time ever. So after that is we groomed them
on other things, on the speech patterns, and we help
(07:34):
them to read certain African American books and history books
and then they discussed them with each other. So we
take it a little bit further than just a debate
club portion into a learning portion. And after the pandemic,
we weren't able to get those students back because they
had graduated by that time, and we started a newer program.
(07:58):
But something alone those same line. Another program we have
is every year we make sure that we find families
who are struggling to have the best holiday that they
could have. And last year we found one family that
had been displaced and not of their own faults. They
(08:21):
were staying in an extended stay with quite an ill
little child, and we decided that we were going to
go in there and give them one of the best Christmases.
So we joined the two other organizations and we filled
up that extended stayroom and they got the food for
(08:42):
a week, the toys, We even bought the parents' gifts,
and people donated so much they just they didn't have
room for the little Christmas tree we bought. And they're
now back in a home again. They're no longer the
extended stay and we keep with people like that to
see if they need or help, and we give as
(09:04):
much as we can. We have one person who's no
longer whipped us, Reginald Smith. His son gives us three
hundred dollars donation every Christmas towards the family food in
his father's name. So we reach out to the community
as much as we can. We also have the President
(09:24):
Volunteer Service award. That is for people who do community
service unselfishly and they reach out to the community and
just do things over and over again to help out,
but they've never been recognized. So the PBSA it's called,
is a letter that you get from the White House
recognizing you for your community service. You get a certificate,
(09:49):
a letter signed by the President of the United States
and a pendant. And we will be having that program
on September twentieth, the day before our annual.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Induction and Ms Marsha talk to us about September twentieth
and how the community listening on iHeartRadio can actually attend
or just find out more about that day, what can
what can we expect?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Okay, twentieth, This when everybody's going to start blinding and
driving in and so forth. And that is the President
Volunteer Service Award date from twelve to two at the
West End, Atlanta at the Airport on September twenty first,
at seven pm, we will open the doors for the
(10:35):
National Radio Hall of Fame sixth Annual Induction program and
it said dinner from five thirty to six thirty. We
will have in our atrium level reception and people registered
to show their come to our code to get in
and see each other, take pictures, go to the step
and repeat and take pictures things for that nature. And
(10:57):
it's going to be radio people that haven't seen each
other in years and also radio people who are meeting
each other for the first time, but they have spoken
to each other in the past or present. So that's
what we're doing. We're honoring those who have talent in radio,
those who have supported radio, and those who work in radio,
(11:19):
but they're posthumous at this point.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Thank you, Ms Marsha.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
What a phenomenal drive, What a phenomenal movement to empower
a community of people who are delivering on a promise,
and on what we do in broadcasting is a promise
to our community for us to enlighten, engage and empower.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And so I thank you for.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Calling on community viewpoints today and allowing us to understand
what the National Black Radio Hall of Fame is so
that we can understand the why why you want to
empower people who are not recognized and or people who
are doing the work on the ground. Ms Marsha, I
thank you so much for empowering me today as I
(12:05):
didn't know this much and I want to thank you
for allowing us to have this conversation and bringing this
to the mic and sharing your drive and passion.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Well, thank you for speaking with me. And may I
say one other thing is ma'am, I would like to say,
along with Bernie Hayes his wife Uve Hayes, who's also
a jazz singer, they started the organization and brought me
in and trusted me to carry the torch for them.
So I appreciate them very much, and they will be
(12:35):
here on September twenty three and twenty twenty five, we
will be in Saint Louis for the next induction. The
one after that will be in Charlotte, North Carolina, and
then we will go to Flora, I'm not sure what
the city yet, and after that we will go to
Las Vegas and then Houston. Until we are.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Growing, yes, and the vision and the history is amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Growth is what's good.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So how can those that are listening, if they cannot attend,
pour into you as a five oh one CE and
donate to your cause? So can they go to the
website and donate to empower you so that you can
have phenomenal programs.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Our website is www dot n b r HOF dot
com for National Black Radio Hall of Thame and.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
There they can get in touch and definitely empower you
as you've empowered a community today.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Ms Marsha, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Is there anything else you'd like to share with the
community about a phenomenal event that's happening in Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I would like to say something that he's no longer
with us now, the great Mitch Faulkner, who was a
voice talent in black radio. Mitch would say, each one,
peach one, each one, reach one, and that's what we
need to do in our community.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Thank you for blessing us with that. Thank you for
empowering us in a community today. Marcia Washington George, Vice President,
National Black Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Thank you, Miss Marsha. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Miss Marsha.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
How can someone get involved and or be an inductee?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You have to be nominated. Anyone can nominate, but only
the membership can vote. So what's the nominations come in?
With the many bios, the board and membership votes on
who deserve to get this particular induction title, and then
the ballots are counted electronically and whoever gets the vote,
(14:40):
that's our next set of inductees. So we look at
a framework from December to the first part of March, nominations,
the ballot and the announcement.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Thank you Marsha for coming on community viewpoints today and
as we continue with community viewpoints, we are empowering our sisters.
Is Shawnie feeling blessed and highly favored on this Sunday morning.
We are revving up to empower our sisters. And today
I have on the line Diane Townsend. She is here
from the Sister's Network Northeast Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Good morning, Diane, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I am doing fine, Shawannee. Yes, it's Sister's Network Northeast Florida.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
And with the Sisters Network Northeast Florida, we are empowering
sisters with the ninth annual Law Offices of Ron Show's
PA's Sisters strud coming to the area October the twelfth.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Diane, how are you? I know that you have been
with us as one of the sponsors.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
That's right, Shane, from the very beginning. This is the
ninth annual and we have been a part of this
community effort since the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Diane, I know that you know, we may have some
new listeners, So talk to us and tell us about
you and your fight, and then we'll talk to the
community about the organization and how they empower the sisters
in the community.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
On a personal level, I have been diagnosed for oh gosh,
I have to think about the number of years now
total of about thirty seven years at a time when
there was not a lot of information, there was no
support in the community, at least support that I found
that I could be a part of. So at that
time I just had to go with what I knew.
(16:21):
After a couple of recurrences, I felt the need to
be with others who shared some of my feelings, and
that ended up being an opportunity to establish this chapter
of Sister's Network, which actually is headquartered in Houston, Texas.
And I had an opportunity at that time, back in
nineteen ninety seven to speak with the founder there, and
(16:46):
with her guidance, came back to Jacksonville found four of
the women who felt like I did about the need
to share the information and support each other. So we
established this affiliate chapter in nineteen ninety seven, and if
you count the years, I think this is year twenty
seven that we have been serving the community uninterrupted for
(17:08):
that length of time. So it did start with my
own diagnosis and a feeling of ever having enough information
to help me. And as I learned for myself what
I needed to know regarding options and getting back into
the community, getting back into my job, there were just
(17:29):
so many questions that were unanswered that I couldn't answer
on my own. So once I learned that there were
things that I needed to know, I immediately felt that
it was important to be able to share it with
other women, particularly African American women, because we were and
still are not doing as well as far as surviving
breast cancer. So when I learned that the statistics were
(17:52):
really not in our favor, I just felt deeply concerned
about what it would take to get the information in
the hands of our African American women who were being diagnosed.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Community Shawnee speaking to Diane Townsend, CEO of Sisters Network
Northeast Florida, Inc. Benefiting the women of Jacksonville and community.
This is one of the largest walks Strut of its kind,
supporting women of color and heightening awareness about issues of
breast cancer in women of color. On this day, October
the twelfth. It's going to be phenomenal, lots of resources,
(18:28):
but it's also going to empower and uplift and inspire. So, Diane,
I know that you've been inspiring women for the last
nine years, and we've talked to a few throughout the
years on this show. Talk and tell how you have
empowered some of the ladies in your organization. How small
you were with you said four ladies. How big are
you now?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
When we're asked about the size of our organization. There
are two things that are important. First of all, you know,
our purpose is to meet the lady that has been diagnosed.
This is our primary purpose and help her along her
journey so that she can see the faces of people
who have been there and it's had the same experience,
and we can provide hope and encouragement. So the group
(19:12):
actually rotates quite often, so we have new members, they're
with us, they get better, and they go back to
their regular daily activities, I should say, And that's what
we want. We want to be there to encourage the
woman through the journey. There is a core group of
about thirty women who remain so that they can share
(19:33):
their experience and be there for the women who meet
us through their diagnosis. Now, over our twenty seven years,
we have been able to support hundreds of women from
our community, and we've been able to share breast health
and breast cancer literature and resource information with thousands because
(19:56):
of the activities that we have going in the community.
So I mentioned support being a priority supporting the woman
who's been diagnosed, but just as important to the Sisters
Network of Northeast Florida is our need to educate our community.
So whether the person's been diagnosed or not, if they're
a woman, we want to be sure that they get
(20:19):
to know what they need about breast health and how
they can save themselves if they should become one of
the one in eight who are diagnosed with breast cancer.
So our educational outreach, which is what's important as important
as survivorship, reaches thousands in the community. We do this annually.
We have healthfairs, we have what we call our Gift
(20:40):
for Life block walk every spring, and every fall we
have a public workshop, symposium or seminar that brings information
to the community. We utilize our experts from the community
to share with us the most recent information on screening
detection and treatment of breast cancer, so that our community
(21:04):
knows as much as they can about breast health and
breast cancer and that they can protect themselves, that they
can be treated early if they are diagnosed, and this
we know will prolong our lives.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I mean, if you're just tuning in Shawnee speaking to
Diane Townsend, she's here from the Sisters Network Northeast Florida Incorporated.
They are a nonprofit organization in our community empowering women.
And this event that we're having, the ninth annual Law
Offices of Rancho's PA Sisters Strut is all about empowerment
(21:37):
and upliftment.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Last year it was a great day.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
So we're at the same location, which is at Jacksonville
Baseball Grounds at one to one Financial Ballpark.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
The rally, and let me tell you, it is empowering.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
It's a rally of empowerment resources and of course we
get together with our sisters. So, Diane, I know you'll
be there this year. What can the community expect from
you this year as to resources that you would provide
or any information.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Well, again, I go back to our primary purpose, which
is to support the woman who has been diagnosed and
so our members come to us as a newly diagnosed
or someone who was diagnosed years ago, and what we
do mainly is to show the woman of how they
can get through the treatment. We have monthly survivorship meetings
(22:30):
and we talk to them about our meetings and we
invite them, we have guest presentations, We even invite our
health care providers in to chat with us. So when
we're there, we'll share that information. But also importantly is
for the women to stop by our table because we
have literature, and we have patient care kids. We have
(22:53):
resource information for the person who may not know how
to get a mammogram, either a free man or reduced
costs mammogram, or may even not even understand the importance
of having a baseline mammogram and not even understanding the
importance of having a regular mammogram annually or balinuinely depending
(23:14):
on what their doctor requires. So those kinds of resources
will be available if they stop by the table. I
will be speaking from the UH stage and I'll be
sharing some of this information and encouraging women to think
about their breast health care, and we'll be there. There
will be survivors at the tables representing sisters so if
(23:37):
there's someone who attends the Sister Strut who just wants
to come up and have a personal conversation with a survivor,
we're there for that and we we will do that.
And then we also have volunteers who may not be diagnosed,
who are also there to show them that we're out
in the community supporting our women, encouraging them to get
(24:01):
their mammograms, encouraging them to see their physicians, encouraging them
to learn about their risk factors, encouraging them to even
support someone else who may be going through It's so
important once again that if we're going to do the
best that we can with a diagnosis of breast cancer,
that it is found early, that it is treated early
(24:22):
so that we can live. And so we'll be talking
about breast cancer screening, we'll be talking about the warning
signs of breast cancer. We'll even have our breast molds
available at the table, so that if a woman walks
up and and doesn't quite know what a lump feels like,
we'll be able to actually demonstrate and have her demonstrate
back to us how to look for that lump, so
(24:44):
she'll say, Okay, I know what this feels like now,
so they're not afraid to go back to their doctors
and ask the right questions and be sure that they are,
you know, following the guidelines for detection and screening, and in.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Every disease, early detection is the key and resources support
understanding is also a key. So on October the twelfth, community,
please please be sure to come out support sister Strut.
It's a drive to empower our African American women. Diane
and her labor of love is here and others will
(25:21):
be in and around the field to embrace you and
allow you to speak and understand. So it's a day
of upliftment. Diane, I know that you said that we
do the strut in October and you have something after
the strut. Talk to us about if people you know
cannot be there physically on October the twelfth, how they
can empower you and how what event you're having after
(25:44):
we strut on October the twelfth.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
So there are two upcoming events that are annual events
for our chapter after October twelfth. In November, there'll be
a Fall workshop that is open to the public. This
is one of the things that we do throughout the
year to help raise awareness and educate our community. So
(26:06):
it'll be a fall workshop and this year where we'll
have speakers I should say I won't be speaking, but
we'll have experts from the community to talk to the
participants about the impact of nutrition on your well being
after breast cancer diagnosis. We'll have someone speaking about the
role of research and the importance of getting involved in
clinical trials. So that's coming up in the fall, and
(26:29):
then in the spring of next year this will be
our I think it'll be our eighteenth annual Gifts for
Life block walk, which is something that's open to the
whole community, and the more people that are able to volunteer,
the more information we can get into the community. Because
it is actually that it's a walk in the neighborhood
to distribute breast health literature and resource information. It's a
(26:53):
walk to raise awareness. So we had a wonderfully vent
last spring. We brought people into community to volunteer, they
did the walk, we'd over a two week period. We
were able to get literature and resource information into approximately
five hundred homes. So those are two opportunities that are
coming up that are community initiatives that can involve anyone
(27:16):
who would like to volunteer, participate, or just show up
to be a part of our activities.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Thank you, Diane, Thank you for working tirelessly and being
set fast in the community about raising awareness ensuring that
the African American women because the SATs are there says.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Here back to there, African American.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Women in the US have forty one percent higher death
rate from breast cancer than other women of other cultures.
So just know that your registration dollars community will go
a long way and we would love for everybody to
come out and be a part of an uplifting and

continue the programs that we have gone for. Sister's Network

(30:44):

Speaker 4 (30:59):
And thank you than for another wonderful year, an invitation
to be able to talk about Sister's Network, and I'm
looking forward to Saturday, October twelfth.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Thank you for listening to community viewpoints. Have a blessed
day and be empowered
Welcome to community viewpoints.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Is Shawnee feeling blessed and highly favored On this Sunday morning,
we are empowering a community, a nation, people who are
considerate of a growing legacy. So today I have on
the phone Marcia Washington George. She is the vice president
of the National Black Radio Hall of Fame. Good morning, Marcia.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
I'm fine? How are you?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You know?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Marcia?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Excited, excited that I get to speak with you, Excited
that we get to talk about something that's very dear
to your heart. But before we get into the National
Black Radio Hall of Fame, tell us a little something
about who is Marcia Washington George.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'm known in an industry as the radio Lady because
I always make sure that I get all of the
historical pieces of black radio history and the biographies so
that we can keep the history maintained and have something
to show for our people. I am the niece of
Jacksonville owned kN Knight, and a lot of people know
(01:08):
ken Knight had his own street named after him. However,
he was one of the first black disc jockeys in
the United States. He started in his hometown of Daytona,
Beach in nineteen forty seven and came to Atlanta opened
up the first black on radio station in the United
States in nineteen forty nine. Nineteen fifty he moved to
(01:30):
Jacksonville and remained there throughout the rest of his career
with the television show and a radio show. So I
was influenced by that growing up as a child. Uncle
Kenneth was my babysitter, so to speak. So out of
all of the family, I'm the one that admired his
work and became a mascom major and went on with
(01:53):
that in my career. So that's where I am. I'm
the author of Black Radio Winner Takes where all of
the pioneered DJs for their passing gave me their story
and I put it in the book.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Imman.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
If you're just tuning in Shawnee speaking to a legend
in her own right, Marcia Washington George, vice president of
the National Black Radio Hall of Fame, here today to
talk to us about the five oh one see that
she has groomed so that it could create the legacy.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So talk to us about the five o one.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
See.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
How long have you been serving for a black.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Radio A gentleman by the name of Bernie Hayes, who's
also in the book, contacted me in two thousand and
ten and told me that he was starting the St.
Louis Black Radio Hall of Fame because the National Radio
Hall of Fame in Chicago was not including minorities, especially
(02:50):
our people, so he thought he would start his own
in St.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Louis.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
And he asked me what I helped him with that,
and then he called me back a couple of years
later around and fourteen, and he said, let's make this
thing national. And we started the idea that he birth
the National Black Radio Hall of Fame, and we started
getting an information from individuals from across the country to
(03:16):
start recognizing them for the work that they had done.
And in some cases we had to get the posthumous
information because these leaders community leaders had passed on me.
Five oh one. C three came about because there were
grants needed in order to keep the national office functioning.
(03:37):
The National Office of the National Black Radio Hall of
Fame is located in Saint Louis, Missouri, at Harristowe State
University on that campus, and there are a lot of
people that have been sending in all of their artifacts
so that we can expose some things from black radio history.
(04:00):
The five oh one C. Three became active in other
chapters as we bought the chapter see in Atlanta, Charlotte, Florida,
and so on.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And with this, Miss Marcia, I understand that you put
this together because we, as African American people were not
being recognized for the contributions or accolades that we played
a part in. And I say we as a fellow personality,
someone who is on a platform.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So with this movement, because this is a movement, how
did you really start?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You know, I know know people are behind you, but
how did you get the nation to recognize that something
was wrong?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Is it with this movement?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It was this With this movement, Bernie Hayes is now
eighty four years old, and he worked in radios over
fifty years, and he had not been recognized. And I
saw that what he wanted to do with the National
Black Radio Hall of Fame was to honor his peers,
the ones before him and the future generation. And since
(05:08):
I had the skills to help him with that, I decided,
as a retire project manager to come on board and
get everything together. A lot of people still don't know
about it, so I do appreciate this interview. We're spreading
the words more and more about the organization.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Regarding the organization, I'm looking at the website and you
have a plethora of services that the National Black Radio
Hall of Fame offers.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Would you care to share some?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And I see that drop the Mic for our young
ones coming up is very interesting, So talk to us
about those services.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Ms. Marsha.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
The drop to Mic program started before the pandemic, and
it was something that we wanted to do for the
younger people, even though they might not be having want
to going to radio or in a field of broadcasting,
but to know how to speak well and present themselves.
(06:06):
We got in touch with the school teacher that was
in another county outside of the county that we worked
from with we work out of Fulton County, and they
were over in Douglasville. She was over the debate club
for a lot of the students in the metropolitan Atlanta
area and we went and met the students casual call
(06:27):
from the former Universal Circus announcer, and we liked what
we saw that these kids, these were kids in sixth grade,
seventh grade, eighth grade, ninth grade debating on our heroes
like Martin Luther King and so forth, and they would
get the subject and then they would have to debate,
and they would rehearse and rehearse several weeks and then
(06:49):
they would have the debate contest. Well, we thought we
should come in and help groom them since we have
the talent to help them with this type of growth.
We had the students to come to the World Congress
Center to the program and they all did a debate
on Martin Luther King. Well, all of the students who
(07:12):
were debating except for one, had been in the debate
club for a long time. This young lady came in.
It was in about tenth grade and she was the
one that ended up winning the award. That was her
first time ever. So after that is we groomed them
on other things, on the speech patterns, and we help
(07:34):
them to read certain African American books and history books
and then they discussed them with each other. So we
take it a little bit further than just a debate
club portion into a learning portion. And after the pandemic,
we weren't able to get those students back because they
had graduated by that time, and we started a newer program.
(07:58):
But something alone those same line. Another program we have
is every year we make sure that we find families
who are struggling to have the best holiday that they
could have. And last year we found one family that
had been displaced and not of their own faults. They
(08:21):
were staying in an extended stay with quite an ill
little child, and we decided that we were going to
go in there and give them one of the best Christmases.
So we joined the two other organizations and we filled
up that extended stayroom and they got the food for
(08:42):
a week, the toys, We even bought the parents' gifts,
and people donated so much they just they didn't have
room for the little Christmas tree we bought. And they're
now back in a home again. They're no longer the
extended stay and we keep with people like that to
see if they need or help, and we give as
(09:04):
much as we can. We have one person who's no
longer whipped us, Reginald Smith. His son gives us three
hundred dollars donation every Christmas towards the family food in
his father's name. So we reach out to the community
as much as we can. We also have the President
(09:24):
Volunteer Service award. That is for people who do community
service unselfishly and they reach out to the community and
just do things over and over again to help out,
but they've never been recognized. So the PBSA it's called,
is a letter that you get from the White House
recognizing you for your community service. You get a certificate,
(09:49):
a letter signed by the President of the United States
and a pendant. And we will be having that program
on September twentieth, the day before our annual.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Induction and Ms Marsha talk to us about September twentieth
and how the community listening on iHeartRadio can actually attend
or just find out more about that day, what can
what can we expect?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Okay, twentieth, This when everybody's going to start blinding and
driving in and so forth. And that is the President
Volunteer Service Award date from twelve to two at the
West End, Atlanta at the Airport on September twenty first,
at seven pm, we will open the doors for the
(10:35):
National Radio Hall of Fame sixth Annual Induction program and
it said dinner from five thirty to six thirty. We
will have in our atrium level reception and people registered
to show their come to our code to get in
and see each other, take pictures, go to the step
and repeat and take pictures things for that nature. And
(10:57):
it's going to be radio people that haven't seen each
other in years and also radio people who are meeting
each other for the first time, but they have spoken
to each other in the past or present. So that's
what we're doing. We're honoring those who have talent in radio,
those who have supported radio, and those who work in radio,
(11:19):
but they're posthumous at this point.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Thank you, Ms Marsha.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
What a phenomenal drive, What a phenomenal movement to empower
a community of people who are delivering on a promise,
and on what we do in broadcasting is a promise
to our community for us to enlighten, engage and empower.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And so I thank you for.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Calling on community viewpoints today and allowing us to understand
what the National Black Radio Hall of Fame is so
that we can understand the why why you want to
empower people who are not recognized and or people who
are doing the work on the ground. Ms Marsha, I
thank you so much for empowering me today as I
(12:05):
didn't know this much and I want to thank you
for allowing us to have this conversation and bringing this
to the mic and sharing your drive and passion.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Well, thank you for speaking with me. And may I
say one other thing is ma'am, I would like to say,
along with Bernie Hayes his wife Uve Hayes, who's also
a jazz singer, they started the organization and brought me
in and trusted me to carry the torch for them.
So I appreciate them very much, and they will be
(12:35):
here on September twenty three and twenty twenty five, we
will be in Saint Louis for the next induction. The
one after that will be in Charlotte, North Carolina, and
then we will go to Flora, I'm not sure what
the city yet, and after that we will go to
Las Vegas and then Houston. Until we are.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Growing, yes, and the vision and the history is amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Growth is what's good.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So how can those that are listening, if they cannot attend,
pour into you as a five oh one CE and
donate to your cause? So can they go to the
website and donate to empower you so that you can
have phenomenal programs.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Our website is www dot n b r HOF dot
com for National Black Radio Hall of Thame and.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
There they can get in touch and definitely empower you
as you've empowered a community today.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Ms Marsha, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Is there anything else you'd like to share with the
community about a phenomenal event that's happening in Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I would like to say something that he's no longer
with us now, the great Mitch Faulkner, who was a
voice talent in black radio. Mitch would say, each one,
peach one, each one, reach one, and that's what we
need to do in our community.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Thank you for blessing us with that. Thank you for
empowering us in a community today. Marcia Washington George, Vice President,
National Black Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Thank you, Miss Marsha. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Miss Marsha.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
How can someone get involved and or be an inductee?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You have to be nominated. Anyone can nominate, but only
the membership can vote. So what's the nominations come in?
With the many bios, the board and membership votes on
who deserve to get this particular induction title, and then
the ballots are counted electronically and whoever gets the vote,
(14:40):
that's our next set of inductees. So we look at
a framework from December to the first part of March, nominations,
the ballot and the announcement.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Thank you Marsha for coming on community viewpoints today and
as we continue with community viewpoints, we are empowering our sisters.
Is Shawnie feeling blessed and highly favored on this Sunday morning.
We are revving up to empower our sisters. And today
I have on the line Diane Townsend. She is here
from the Sister's Network Northeast Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Good morning, Diane, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
I am doing fine, Shawannee. Yes, it's Sister's Network Northeast Florida.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
And with the Sisters Network Northeast Florida, we are empowering
sisters with the ninth annual Law Offices of Ron Show's
PA's Sisters strud coming to the area October the twelfth.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Diane, how are you? I know that you have been
with us as one of the sponsors.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
That's right, Shane, from the very beginning. This is the
ninth annual and we have been a part of this
community effort since the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Diane, I know that you know, we may have some
new listeners, So talk to us and tell us about
you and your fight, and then we'll talk to the
community about the organization and how they empower the sisters
in the community.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
On a personal level, I have been diagnosed for oh gosh,
I have to think about the number of years now
total of about thirty seven years at a time when
there was not a lot of information, there was no
support in the community, at least support that I found
that I could be a part of. So at that
time I just had to go with what I knew.
(16:21):
After a couple of recurrences, I felt the need to
be with others who shared some of my feelings, and
that ended up being an opportunity to establish this chapter
of Sister's Network, which actually is headquartered in Houston, Texas.
And I had an opportunity at that time, back in
nineteen ninety seven to speak with the founder there, and
(16:46):
with her guidance, came back to Jacksonville found four of
the women who felt like I did about the need
to share the information and support each other. So we
established this affiliate chapter in nineteen ninety seven, and if
you count the years, I think this is year twenty
seven that we have been serving the community uninterrupted for
(17:08):
that length of time. So it did start with my
own diagnosis and a feeling of ever having enough information
to help me. And as I learned for myself what
I needed to know regarding options and getting back into
the community, getting back into my job, there were just
(17:29):
so many questions that were unanswered that I couldn't answer
on my own. So once I learned that there were
things that I needed to know, I immediately felt that
it was important to be able to share it with
other women, particularly African American women, because we were and
still are not doing as well as far as surviving
breast cancer. So when I learned that the statistics were
(17:52):
really not in our favor, I just felt deeply concerned
about what it would take to get the information in
the hands of our African American women who were being diagnosed.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Community Shawnee speaking to Diane Townsend, CEO of Sisters Network
Northeast Florida, Inc. Benefiting the women of Jacksonville and community.
This is one of the largest walks Strut of its kind,
supporting women of color and heightening awareness about issues of
breast cancer in women of color. On this day, October
the twelfth. It's going to be phenomenal, lots of resources,
(18:28):
but it's also going to empower and uplift and inspire. So, Diane,
I know that you've been inspiring women for the last
nine years, and we've talked to a few throughout the
years on this show. Talk and tell how you have
empowered some of the ladies in your organization. How small
you were with you said four ladies. How big are
you now?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
When we're asked about the size of our organization. There
are two things that are important. First of all, you know,
our purpose is to meet the lady that has been diagnosed.
This is our primary purpose and help her along her
journey so that she can see the faces of people
who have been there and it's had the same experience,
and we can provide hope and encouragement. So the group
(19:12):
actually rotates quite often, so we have new members, they're
with us, they get better, and they go back to
their regular daily activities, I should say, And that's what
we want. We want to be there to encourage the
woman through the journey. There is a core group of
about thirty women who remain so that they can share
(19:33):
their experience and be there for the women who meet
us through their diagnosis. Now, over our twenty seven years,
we have been able to support hundreds of women from
our community, and we've been able to share breast health
and breast cancer literature and resource information with thousands because
(19:56):
of the activities that we have going in the community.
So I mentioned support being a priority supporting the woman
who's been diagnosed, but just as important to the Sisters
Network of Northeast Florida is our need to educate our community.
So whether the person's been diagnosed or not, if they're
a woman, we want to be sure that they get
(20:19):
to know what they need about breast health and how
they can save themselves if they should become one of
the one in eight who are diagnosed with breast cancer.
So our educational outreach, which is what's important as important
as survivorship, reaches thousands in the community. We do this annually.
We have healthfairs, we have what we call our Gift
(20:40):
for Life block walk every spring, and every fall we
have a public workshop, symposium or seminar that brings information
to the community. We utilize our experts from the community
to share with us the most recent information on screening
detection and treatment of breast cancer, so that our community
(21:04):
knows as much as they can about breast health and
breast cancer and that they can protect themselves, that they
can be treated early if they are diagnosed, and this
we know will prolong our lives.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I mean, if you're just tuning in Shawnee speaking to
Diane Townsend, she's here from the Sisters Network Northeast Florida Incorporated.
They are a nonprofit organization in our community empowering women.
And this event that we're having, the ninth annual Law
Offices of Rancho's PA Sisters Strut is all about empowerment
(21:37):
and upliftment.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Last year it was a great day.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
So we're at the same location, which is at Jacksonville
Baseball Grounds at one to one Financial Ballpark.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
The rally, and let me tell you, it is empowering.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
It's a rally of empowerment resources and of course we
get together with our sisters. So, Diane, I know you'll
be there this year. What can the community expect from
you this year as to resources that you would provide
or any information.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Well, again, I go back to our primary purpose, which
is to support the woman who has been diagnosed and
so our members come to us as a newly diagnosed
or someone who was diagnosed years ago, and what we
do mainly is to show the woman of how they
can get through the treatment. We have monthly survivorship meetings
(22:30):
and we talk to them about our meetings and we
invite them, we have guest presentations, We even invite our
health care providers in to chat with us. So when
we're there, we'll share that information. But also importantly is
for the women to stop by our table because we
have literature, and we have patient care kids. We have
(22:53):
resource information for the person who may not know how
to get a mammogram, either a free man or reduced
costs mammogram, or may even not even understand the importance
of having a baseline mammogram and not even understanding the
importance of having a regular mammogram annually or balinuinely depending
(23:14):
on what their doctor requires. So those kinds of resources
will be available if they stop by the table. I
will be speaking from the UH stage and I'll be
sharing some of this information and encouraging women to think
about their breast health care, and we'll be there. There
will be survivors at the tables representing sisters so if
(23:37):
there's someone who attends the Sister Strut who just wants
to come up and have a personal conversation with a survivor,
we're there for that and we we will do that.
And then we also have volunteers who may not be diagnosed,
who are also there to show them that we're out
in the community supporting our women, encouraging them to get
(24:01):
their mammograms, encouraging them to see their physicians, encouraging them
to learn about their risk factors, encouraging them to even
support someone else who may be going through It's so
important once again that if we're going to do the
best that we can with a diagnosis of breast cancer,
that it is found early, that it is treated early
(24:22):
so that we can live. And so we'll be talking
about breast cancer screening, we'll be talking about the warning
signs of breast cancer. We'll even have our breast molds
available at the table, so that if a woman walks
up and and doesn't quite know what a lump feels like,
we'll be able to actually demonstrate and have her demonstrate
back to us how to look for that lump, so
(24:44):
she'll say, Okay, I know what this feels like now,
so they're not afraid to go back to their doctors
and ask the right questions and be sure that they are,
you know, following the guidelines for detection and screening, and in.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Every disease, early detection is the key and resources support
understanding is also a key. So on October the twelfth, community,
please please be sure to come out support sister Strut.
It's a drive to empower our African American women. Diane
and her labor of love is here and others will
(25:21):
be in and around the field to embrace you and
allow you to speak and understand. So it's a day
of upliftment. Diane, I know that you said that we
do the strut in October and you have something after
the strut. Talk to us about if people you know
cannot be there physically on October the twelfth, how they
can empower you and how what event you're having after
(25:44):
we strut on October the twelfth.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
So there are two upcoming events that are annual events
for our chapter after October twelfth. In November, there'll be
a Fall workshop that is open to the public. This
is one of the things that we do throughout the
year to help raise awareness and educate our community. So
(26:06):
it'll be a fall workshop and this year where we'll
have speakers I should say I won't be speaking, but
we'll have experts from the community to talk to the
participants about the impact of nutrition on your well being
after breast cancer diagnosis. We'll have someone speaking about the
role of research and the importance of getting involved in
clinical trials. So that's coming up in the fall, and
(26:29):
then in the spring of next year this will be
our I think it'll be our eighteenth annual Gifts for
Life block walk, which is something that's open to the
whole community, and the more people that are able to volunteer,
the more information we can get into the community. Because
it is actually that it's a walk in the neighborhood
to distribute breast health literature and resource information. It's a
(26:53):
walk to raise awareness. So we had a wonderfully vent
last spring. We brought people into community to volunteer, they
did the walk, we'd over a two week period. We
were able to get literature and resource information into approximately
five hundred homes. So those are two opportunities that are
coming up that are community initiatives that can involve anyone
(27:16):
who would like to volunteer, participate, or just show up
to be a part of our activities.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Thank you, Diane, Thank you for working tirelessly and being
set fast in the community about raising awareness ensuring that
the African American women because the SATs are there says.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Here back to there, African American.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Women in the US have forty one percent higher death
rate from breast cancer than other women of other cultures.
So just know that your registration dollars community will go
a long way and we would love for everybody to
come out and be a part of an uplifting and

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
