Starting Your Dreams Later In Life and Embracing the Detour

Jenee Darden speaking at Creative Mornings I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but that's because of my job. I'm working as a reporter covering Oakland and I host an arts segment on the radio where I get to interview amazing artists from around the Bay Area. Plus I'm publicizing my book  and building my speaking career!  You know what's funny? I thought this would all happen by the time I was 27-30.  Nope. That wasn't God's plan for me.

How Could I Forget to Post This Special KTVU Interview?



I posted this interview all over social media but forgot to post it on my blog. Why was this interview with KTVU's Keba Arnold and Mike Mibach so special? It was my FIRST live television interview. I'm a radio girl so I always get nervous for TV interviews. With radio, I can be in my doo-rag and house slippers, but still sound good. With TV, you have to step it all the way up on image AND sound good. You only get one shot when it's live. Keba and Mike made me feel very comfortable. By the way Keba Arnold is even more gorgeous in person. Thanks to KTVU for having me. I'm very proud of this interview. Check it out.

One more thing. People have been asking me if I do public speaking. Yes! Here is a list of the things I speak about if you're interested in booking me.
