There have been numerous assassinations and attempts to U.S. presidents and presidential candidates since 1835. The most recent of these attempts was on July 13, 2024 with the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump. Following the attempted assassination, one of Trump’s supporters expressed how they believed that Trump was moving forward with a “new sense of purpose”.
There are so many things that may happen in our lives that cause us to lose purpose and/or redirect our purpose. These things include: losing a partner, the end of a career or becoming an empty nester.
Having purpose often helps to motivate us, give us a sense of clarity and ignites our passion. Sometimes these feelings can be short lived, but other times, it can lead to not only profound changes in our lives, but also in the lives of others.
On morning energy we are going to explore ways that we can better “live our lives on purpose”.

I found out about WMNF through an outreach table that was set up at Sweet Water Organic Farm during my first visit there in 2012.
I had never really heard much about community radio stations at that time and became extremely intrigued as to why a radio station would have an interest in attending and/or hosting events in the community.
As I began to learn more from the Volunteer Coordinator at that time, I decided that the station would be a great fit for me in light of my background in communications and my ongoing interest in helping others.
One of my first volunteer assignments at WMNF was community outreach. I thought what better way to reach out to the community than in the same manner that I felt WMNF had reached out to me. After about a year of doing out reach service, I decided to try my hands at voicing promos/drops since I still had a passion for the arts. I also began helping out during the marathons.
Consequently, while volunteering during one of the marathons, I was asked by a former host to consider being one of their co-host because he liked my personality and the sound of my voice. I had never done formal radio work before, although I DID have a communication degree, however, my interest while attending college at that time was more towards television than radio. Nonetheless, I agreed. In addition to being a co-host on that show (The Damn Jams )(Hip-Hop) , other shows that I have co-hosted on while volunteering at WMNF are: Thee Righteous Temple of Hip Hop (Christian Hip Hop), The Early Bird Wake Up Show (Country), Blues With A Groove (Blues ), Mellow Music Encounters ( R& B and Blues) and Kingston 12 (Reggae). However, In February 2014,
I was thankfully given the opportunity to host and produce my own show.... MORNING ENERGY..... and it has truly been an AMAZING experience and journey for which I will always be thankful for!!!
