How many years have you been in Atlanta?

“I’ve been here all my life! All 27 years.

Why is the work WABE does in amplifying Atlanta vital to our communities?

“The work we do here at WABE is extremely vital, because we’re a city full of different perspectives and backgrounds. We look to give a voice not to just a select group, but to all who’s willing to speak! Our city is full of beautiful stories and history, and the recognize that the things happening all over the world can also effect all of us right here in our own neighborhoods. There are so many diverse communities here in Atlanta that make up our culture; which is ultimately the foundation for our city’s success in business, development, arts and more.

What’s your favorite part about being a part of the WABE team?

I am honored to be a part of the team here at WABE because everyone here has so many different skill sets, ideas, and backgrounds. WABE takes pride in collaboration and making sure that the perspectives of everyone on the team are heard. It’s a safe and welcoming environment that allows you to be yourself while also having the space to grow in your professional interests.

What makes Atlanta “Atlanta”? What makes the Greater Metro area special?

“Atlanta is a true mixing pot! There’s always something new to explore here in the Metro area. I’ve been here all my life, and there are still things that I have yet to explore. We’re all so innovative here; whether you have an endless amount of funding or limited resources. The determination and creativity of my fellow “Atliens” lets no obstacle stop them from their end goal. The world is so small here in the city! The more you network, the more you realize how all interconnected we are.”
