Celebrating the Wins

Let’s Talk Through It Our first friend is a travel nurse. She has only been at her hospital for 5 months and already been nominated for recognition. Now it's time to nominate again and she wants to nominate another African American nurse. Her Asian boyfriend thinks she shouldn’t nominate anyone because she is not full time and that she only wants to nominate this woman because she is black. She asks if she is being unfair by participating since she is not full time. Our other friend is a millennial and thinks she may be too hard on herself.

After earning her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Broadcasting and Mass Media from Temple University, she remained in Philadelphia where her radio industry career took. Janine quickly advanced from Marketing Intern to Media Integration Specialist for WDAS-FM, WDAS-AM, WISX, WIOQ, WRFF, and WUSL at Clear Channel Media (now iHeart) in just one year. She would later serve as iHeart’s Director of Promotions of those same stations.

Ms. Brunson-Johnson spent 13 years working her way up in the Philadelphia radio market. In 2016, she joined Radio One/Washington D.C., as Director of Promotions for WKYS-FM, which later acquired Sports talk station WTEM-AM. She was returning as a seasoned industry professional ready to give something back to the community that had nurtured her. The station’s markets, goals and initiatives were a great fit for her infectious drive to support our community.

Janine’s philosophy is “mediocracy is not an option”. She maintains and expects a spirit of excellence at all times. That work ethic now affords her the opportunity to do what she loves. She is creating innovative events in the metropolitan area for the Radio One/Washington D.C. cluster. Opportunitie… Read More
