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.
2018 is almost in the books! Are you setting any New Year resolutions? If so, are you starting on January 1st or do you plan to start making changes before the year is out? I don’t make resolutions, but I do have a Blessing Jar. I’ve been doing this for a few years now and it has changed my life. If you want to join in on the fun, follow some easy steps below.
Find a mason jar and decorate it to your liking.
Buy a few pack of sticky notes. Get some in different colors to add some flavor to your jar.
Each month, track your blessings…write them down on the sticky notes and add them to your jar.
At the end of the year, reflect on all the good things God has done for you.
Last year I added a twist. I wrote a few things down on a sticky note that I wanted to happen this year and prayed over them before I added it to my jar. This was the first sticky note I added on January 1st. Think about what you would want to do to add a twist to your jar for 2019.
The Blessing Jar is a great way to stay motivated and encouraged throughout the year. When you see all the “blessings” piling up in your jar, it is a reminder that no matter what’s going on that may be discouraging, God is still in the blessing business and he hasn’t forgotten about you!
If you create a jar, tag me at @MissyBLive. I would love to see it! My jar is shown below.
