Mic Check, Mic Check

I remember when I was a student at Bronx Community College, in my third semester I was taking a speech class. And I remember this girl who stood out in the crowd, she was pretty, and her wardrobe was on point! I thought to myself "Here goes another stuck up". As I looked around the class, I realized I was not the only chick giving her the side eye. But like they say "You can't judge a book by it's cover". As the class progressed and we all got to know one another, Talisha turned out to be a very cool chick! She had a smile that was magnetic, and a personality to go with it.



One of our speeches that we had to give was about our career choices, and how and why we were going to accomplish them. I remember her speech vividly, because it was a good one and her face lit up when she discussed her future plans. She wanted to be a Radio DJ Host, and she had a plan to become just that. Fast forward to today and she is a co-host of a up coming web radio show called "That DAM Web Show" and she is doing her thing as a multimedia journalist. I interviewed her a few weeks ago about the show and what's in store for them next! Future interviews with Sammy Lee and Danielle Moore will be coming up soon!


Here is the link to the youtube channel of "That DAM Web Show" and Facebook.





Q. Tell me a little bit about "That Dam Web Show"?


A. That Dam Web Show is a hip and urban show enriched with entertainment yet informative information that is delivered by lively & friendly personalities.




Q. When will you have a website up?


A. Our goal is to have our website launched by February which is when the first season of our show begins. The episodes we worked on putting together for November was actually a sneak peak to the viewers on what to expect from us when we do begin our first season.




Q. What made you come up with the concept of “That Dam Web Show”?


A. Well, the concept of “That Dam Web Show” was created by my co-host Danielle. Danielle use to have her own web show and the name of her web show was “That Dam Web Show” because the letters D.A.M spell out her initials. We kept the name to the Web show because it's catchy and clever at the same time.



Q. What are some topics that you hope to talk about on your show?


A. I don't want to spoil the fun and give out the specific topics we plan on covering but one thing I can say is that what we have are upcoming explosive and trending topics, so I recommend that everyone stays tuned in for what's coming because things will get interesting! ;)




Q. What media outlets are you using to create the buzz for the show?


A. The media outlets we're using to create a buzz for the show are social networks such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, etc. We also attend to media events to greet and meet interesting, talented, successful individuals which gives us an opportunity to promote our web show.




Q. What do you think about women entrepreneurs today in 2011?


A. I think the women entrepreneurs from today in 2011 are a lot stronger and confident because women now have equal rights as men do. Women are realizing that we too can be as successful as entrepreneur men for example these women such as Hilary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Oprah & Angelina Jolie are women who come from different backgrounds, play a different role in the world yet one thing they do have in common is their hard work ethic and their drive on always working on a project to make a difference on a daily basis.




Q. What is the best part of being a radio personality?


A. Ummm, I would say listening and being able to relate too many of the individuals that get to share their stories with me. Everyone is different and unique in their own little ways, so I learn and get the opportunity to indulge these inspiring experiences.


Q. What made you choose Radio Multimedia Journalism as a profession?


A. Through time I realized that I enjoyed meeting people, with positive energy and know their purpose in life. I also became conscious of how happy I would feel when I would make others laugh or knowing that with my personality I've made memories unforgettable, so I decided that I'd like to share my colorful personality with the world and create world-wide Colgate smiles lol.



 Ladies of That DAM Web show (Danielle Moore, Sammy Lee, and Talisha Liburd)




Q. How is “That Dam Web Show” different from other web/radio shows?


A. What makes That Dam Web Show different from other web/radio shows is that the show is managed by three intelligent creative ladies, from different cultures and backgrounds, who want to entertain the world! Our purpose is to connect and build a friendly relationship with our guests and audience, basically serve as good host thru via Internet. :)




Q. Why is “That Dam Web Show” so important to you?


A. That Dam Web Show is important to me because it’s my dress rehearsal for my career lol. I want to be the next Angie Martinez, Miss Info or Lala! And I WILL BE! Lol The web show gives me the chance to show viewers who I am especially those who haven't taken the time to know me. My presence has been mistaken from people who have never met me as being a stuck up female when in reality I'm FAR from being that type of person. TRUST ME! To know me is to LOVE me and I could sincerely vouch for that.


 

Q. With all the competition out there, how will you manage to stay successful and unique?


A. I plan on remaining strong, confident and always believe in myself NO MATTER what. I also plan to continue working hard, remain consistent and not be afraid of delivering the ideas I have.




Q. What does your support system consist of ?


A. The support system for "That Dam Web Show" consists of talented well known individuals in the media industry. So far we are taking advantage of any offers that is presented to us and just make the best out of it.




Q. The expression “Have a dollar and a dream”, what does that statement mean to you?


A. The expression "Have a dollar and dream" to me basically means no matter the weather or what you have in life, you just have to run with it & try to make things happen for yourself in order to make your dreams come true.




Q. What is your target market?


A. ANYONE & and; EVERYONE!




Q. Where do you see “That Dam Web Show” five years from now?

Q. Do you think women can have it all?


A. ANYONE could have it all in my opinion because what really determines that is the belief and faith you have in yourself. People need to remain ambitious AT ALL TIMES! Try it! And you'll thank me later lol j/k but no honestly staying positive brings success.
