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.
I don’t know how I feel about this, but I am definitely for inclusion. According to Fox 28, girls can now officially join what used to be called the Boy Scouts. Anyone between the ages of 11 and 17 are able to become part of what’s now known as Scouts BSA.
“I find that within the scouting program, from where it was a year ago, watching the boys develop, and grow now we’re giving that opportunity to young ladies. And what’s wonderful about it is that we can give them the skills for leadership,” said Scoutmaster Kate Leaver
More than 77,000 girls have already joined Cub Scouts, a program for younger children, since it began welcoming girls last year.
The Boy Scouts of America says it will recognize its first class of female Eagle Scouts in 2020, which is the highest rank in the organization.
