Queen B
We are the nurturers of our nation, the hand that rocks the cradle. With the gentle touch of dew kissing a flower before sunrise, we care for the world. We are women.
One such woman is Queen B, 50. She has the voice of one who understands. Giving the comfort of a mother, the support of a sister and the advice of a friend, on-air personality Queen B is our faithful confidant.
Working at WMPR, a radio station owned by Charles Evers, brother to Mississippi civil rights leader Medgar Evers, Queen hopes to be like a voice crying in the wilderness to other women with aspirations of careers in radio. Though it may be hard, she says, don’t quit.
“At times this business is harder on women and slower to come. You have to really want it and be able to look above trials,” Queen says.
Gleaning inspiration from Dorothy Moore and female DJ Lady V, Queen B has been in radio for 25 years and at WMPR for the past 12. She can be heard every Friday from 9 p.m.-midnight on WMPR radio.
