Missy Bolden was born and raised in "The City of Angels.” She transitioned to Columbus, Ohio as a teenager and is proud graduate of East High school and The Ohio State University. After a summer internship with CBS News in New York City, she realized her passion for the entertainment industry.
In efforts to become more marketable in her field, a chance meeting at Radio One Columbus led to a job opportunity in promotions. She quickly rose through the Radio One ranks from a remote tech to programming and producing many high profile key syndicated shows including The Coco Brother Live Show, The Monique Show and The D. L. Hughley Show. Missy also expanded her talents to include blogging, producing on-air promos and commercials spots.
After years of learning many facets of radio, she was able to fulfill her ultimate goal of on-air talent. Her big break came in 2014 when she "cracked the mic," with her on air debut as "Missy B." Currently, she is the newest face of WJYD Joy 107.1 on the weekend. Listen to her Saturday's 7-11p (Nights with Missy B) and Sunday's 10a-2p (Sunday Brunch with Missy B.)
You can find her all over Columbus, highlighting local events and resources with her Missy B On The Move digital segment. Her talents have also taken her nationally, to cover top entertainment award shows including The GMA Dove Awards, The Stellar Awards, BET Hip-Hop Awards and Essence Festival.
Missy B loves to travel, dine and is an advocate for women and girls. She supports young women through her girl empowerment program, iGirl.
The pools are open around the city and although kids are ready to jump right in, it’s important to make sure they stay safe. Check out a few pool safety tips below to help keep you and your family safe this summer.
1. Be sure to watch your children when they’re in or near a pool or spa. If multiple adults are present, assign one of them to watch the children for a designated amount of time and then rotate. This will prevent lapses in supervision.
2.Enroll your child in swimming lessons and teach them basic water safety tips.
3.Keep children away from pool drains, pipes, and other openings to prevent them from getting trapped.
4.Don’t rely on fun water toys to keep your children safe. If your child can’t swim, place them in a proper flotation device.
5. The following should be nearby while your family is at the pool: portable telephone, first aid kit, flotation device, and a pair of scissors to cut hair, clothing, or a pool cover if needed.
6.Learn how to swim and teach your child how to swim.
7.Share safety instructions with close friends and family members who are in contact with your children.
8.Learn to perform CPR on children and adults and keep those skill updated on a regular basis.
