YOUR HOST

LADY JADE

Media Personality & Real Estate Investor

Known as one of the most community-involved radio personalities on a nationally syndicated morning radio show, I've used the microphone as a stage to translate my natural gift for making connections into a powerful force forever transforming culture and the communities we serve.

From identifying and advocating for the most critical issues facing the community, and producing a television series highlighting black women owned businesses, I have played an instrumental role in building a successful nationally syndicated radio show and brand that understands the power of storytelling and deep authentic relationships.
