A Message from Founder, Cynthia Brian
We are #1
On November 22, 2011, as an outreach service of Be the Star You Are!® to increase positive media, I created and launched a new radio program for, by, and with teens called Express Yourself!™ on the Voice America Kids Network.
With teen administrator and male host, Steven Zhou, female co-host, Chan Dara Paschal, and field reporters Courtney Cheng, Rachel Glass, Vivien Lee, Eric Pawlakos, Courtney Tran, and Jacqueline Tao, we set out to give teens across the world a voice.
Our tag line, “where teens talk and the world listens” must have hit a nerve, because on March 15th, the director of Voice America Kids told us that Express Yourself!™ is the NUMBER ONE show on the network around the world!
WOW!
We had all been working so hard to bring topics and guests of interest to youth to the airwaves that none of us had even thought to consider ratings.
These are exciting times for our dedicated teens. Chan Dara says her good byes on April 3rd due to a full time college and work schedule and Courtney Tran will need to do the same in May. We welcome thirteen year-old Nicole Eubanks from Florida who will be our Health Beat reporter, junior Mason Windatt from California with On the Ball, a sports segment, and sophomore Youngjoo Ahn, our Creative Art reporter. Tune in for the auditions of other teens.
On May 12 from 11-4pm, the radio show goes remote at the Moraga Faire where our on-air stars will host two live shows, interview faire attendees, record music tracks, and audition new teen reporters. Check for details.
As we strive to maintain our first place position, it is the goal of each of our on-air personalities to provide quality experiences for all listeners. We hope you’ll tune in for new programs every Tuesday at NOON PT on the Voice America Kids Network at http://www.voiceamerica.com/show/2014/express-yourself.
Descriptions, photos, links, and more are always available at Express Yourself!™, http://www.ExpressYourselfTeenRadio.com.
Starstyle® Be the Star You Are!® airs to rave reviews in 210 countries every Thursday LIVE from 3-4pm PT on World Talk Radio. tune in for Heather Brittany's fresh new Health Matters. For guest guidelines, Radio@BetheStarYouAreRadio.com
