Lo The Don: How long have you been in radio? What inspired you?
Ms. Eklass: I’ve been in radio since 2007 and on the air since 2010. My inspiration comes from soooooo much, from connecting with my listeners to the power of storytelling. When it comes to inspiration, I’ve always loved Angie Martinez and Maria More. They are two amazing women in radio who’ve been in it for a minute and continue to grow with it as it evolves. Additionally, I can’t forget about my local legends like Jerry Wade (rest in peace), JJ, Tony Lamont, Wrekk 1, and Jay Rio, who all showed me the ropes in the industry. Altogether, they each played a part in making me who I am today.”
Lo The Don: What keeps your motivated to stay in radio?
Ms. Eklass: Being able to share stories, uplift voices, and create meaningful connections with listeners has been the driving force behind my journey in radio. In fact, that’s what keeps me motivated. Additionally, my kids keep me motivated too; they’re the ones who truly keep me going.
Lo The Don: How do you balance radio, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and a relationship?
Ms. Eklass: Ha! Do I balance it?! lol Well, I teach elementary music, run a business, I’m somebody’s fiancée, and a few folks’ mama. lol Whew, that’s a lot! On top of that, I’m back in school too. So, I’m still trying to find the balance in all of it; however, I feel like it’s balanced in its own beautiful way. Plus, I have an amazing support system, a dope tribe, and two of the best guardian angels (my dad and mom). Without them, I’d probably lose my mind! Altogether, it’s organized chaos. lol
On Facebook, Ms. expressed,
