Growing
up listening to radio with the women in her family, Kwasida naturally developed
a love for radio. As a child she was an avid listener to a local children’s
radio program.
Her love for radio continued to grow when she discovered that there was
a lack of
children’s media especially radio that shared her love for African
and culturally
inspired stories.
Kwasida entered college (Clark Atlanta University) in efforts to learn more
about
developing radio and other media programs. During her undergraduate experience,
she created many mock children’s radio programs. Upon completing her
Mass Media
arts degree in Radio/TV/Film, she continued to experiment with children
and radio as an Atlanta Public Schools teacher. She created and implemented
a broadcast journalism curriculum for high school students, giving her students
many opportunities to turn their essays and other written pieces in audio
adventures. Kwasida also gained many
experiences by interning at various radio stations including Radio Disney.
Combining her love for stories, children and education, Kwasida created
a radio
program designed to help her children and others increase their aural, oral
and written communication skills through audio literature. |
