Future African American Leaders In Radio 2016

1

Now in its fourth year, our Future African American Leaders in Radio list, as it has in previous years, includes both experienced pros and young talent who all have one thing in common: They are making a lot of noise in the radio industry, with their extreme passion for the business and dogged determination to be the best. Our future leaders are not afraid to challenge the status quo, take chances, and work as hard as it takes to make it to the next level. And as you’ll see, they all give great advice on what it takes to succeed and advance in radio today.

Every member of this list was nominated by a respected peer and voted on by a panel of experienced managers across the industry. All the individuals on the pages that follow are gifted and respected and, above all, have a passion and love for radio that will result in their becoming their industry’s next group of leaders. Radio Ink is pleased and proud to present the 2016 Future African American Leaders in Radio.
