Celebrating the Wins

In our opening chatter we talk about how our week has been. What’s on Our Timeline? SLIM Kim on TikTok got us out here collecting our flowers even with the obstacles we go through as black women. Let’s Talk Through It Our first friend is a travel nurse. She has only been at her hospital for 5 months and already been nominated for recognition. Now it's time to nominate again and she wants to nominate another African American nurse. Her Asian boyfriend thinks she shouldn’t nominate anyone because she is not full time and that she only wants to nominate this woman because she is black. She asks if she is being unfair by participating since she is not full time. Our other friend is a millennial and thinks she may be too hard on herself. She’s about to be 40 and has a good job as a restaurant manager but thought she would be a lot further along than she currently is. Until we meet again. Pray! Work! Slay! And Show Off Your Melanated Excellence!

Escape Fund or Rainy Day Fund?

In our opening chatter we talk about how our week has been. What’s on Our Timeline? We came across this on our timeline via power credit consultants: women are saving their own money, some of their husband's money and their joint money and they're calling it escape money. Let’s Talk Through It Our first friend makes significantly more money than her fiance, and did not feel obligated to tell him how much she makes. They discussed purchasing their first home together and after getting married she doesn’t want him to bank on her income to contribute to half of the bills. Our other friend is a male listener who said he and his wife struggled after his furlough from work and the pandemic. This was until his wife revealed her sizeable rainy day fund. Since then, he started his own rainy day fund and has put away a pretty good amount but doesn’t know if and how he should tell his wife. Pray! Work! Slay! And Show Off Your Melanated Excellence!

Native Washingtonian and Event and Entertainment veteran Janine Brunson-Johnson’s career spans two decades. Even before college, she was prepared to succeed.

She was one of the youngest members to earn a position as an Associate producer at WPGC-AM Heaven 1580 in Washington, DC.

After earning her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Broadcasting and Mass Media from Temple University, she remained in Philadelphia where her radio industry career took. Janine quickly advanced from Marketing Intern to Media Integration Specialist for WDAS-FM, WDAS-AM, WISX, WIOQ, WRFF, and WUSL at Clear Channel Media (now iHeart) in just one year. She would later serve as iHeart’s Director of Promotions of those same stations.

Ms. Brunson-Johnson spent 13 years working her way up in the Philadelphia radio market. In 2016, she joined Radio One/Washington D.C., as Director of Promotions for WKYS-FM, which later acquired Sports talk station WTEM-AM. She was returning as a seasoned industry professional ready to give something back to the community that had nurtured her. The station’s markets, goals and initiatives were a great fit for her infectious drive to support our community.

Janine’s philosophy is “mediocracy is not an option”. She maintains and expects a spirit of excellence at all times. That work ethic now affords her the opportunity to do what she loves. She is creating innovative events in the metropolitan area for the Radio One/Washington D.C. cluster. Opportunitie… Read More
