It’s about Jesus! "This year’s theme is Bridging Communities, Breaking Boundaries and Building New Foundations. That’s the message of this year’s event as it will offer something for the whole family,” says Atlanta’s Gospel Fest 2008’s Producer/Artist Riki Brooks. Every kind of artist and talent will be represented from singers, producers, praise & dance teams, comedians and choirs. When we say something for everyone – we mean EVERYONE! For the children - bubble gum contest, face painting, holla hoop contest and more. For the artists – radio and magazine companies providing information and exposure. And for ANYBODY and EVERYBODY – the legendary Dorothy Norwood; a roundtable discussion moderated by De Etta West, Director of Ministry Partnership; Bishop Jesse Harris, Founder/Publisher of The Gospel Newspaper and of course, Chittlin’ Circuit Magazine.

Steve became one of my Radio Mentors back in 1976 when we both worked at K104-FM (KKDA's Second Radio Station) in it's infancy days back then, and he welcomed me aboard as he was proud of me-his home girl from Sherman, Texas.
