Written by Besa Gordon - Typically, on Fridays, I stay home if I can prep for the weekend, but when I found out MoPOP was throwing a farewell party for their exhibit Contact High, I had to get dressed and take one more look at this epic display of Hip-Hop history.

Last month, the community showed up for Trae Holiday and The Day With Trae when she put out a call to appear in her new intro video at Medgar Evers. The video shoot was a part of a greater relaunch of her show, which will see a total revamp of her set, graphics, and more heading into the new year.

Meet Converge Media’s longest-tenured host. Julia Jessie began her journey to becoming the host of Clap Back Culture over a decade ago, when she first met Converge Media Founder Omari Salisbury.

Reflecting on what happened at Holiday Jam, I'm reminded as to why I love being in radio. Jumping on stage and making thousands of people scream is such a wild and energizing feeling. The first time I did it, I instantly knew what artists meant when they said there's nothing like performing on stage and feeling the energy of the crowd. It's a vibe I wish I could bottle up for when I'm having a bad day and need a pick-me-up.

Converge Media’s Art Queen and host of Art Of The Matter Takiyah “TDUB” Ward continues to take the Emerald City by storm as she recently unveiled her cleat collaboration with Seahawks Quarterback Geno Smith.

As a theater kid, I’ve grown up with the common knowledge that Michelle Lang-Raymond and Isiah Anderson know what they’re doing when it comes to putting shows together. I’ve attended several Teen Summer Musicals to see their collective work in action. Over the last few years, I’ve been able to connect with them in a multitude of ways. But when I tell you I was beyond blown away by Tia Naché’s one-woman show, That Talk You Do, I thoroughly mean it!

Converge Media’s Pop Culture Queen Besa Gordon has been creating space for business enlightenment and community building through her monthly Real Seattle Media Mixers. Gordon creates space for entrepreneurs, influencers and media creators to come together and share experiences and knowledge.

It has been a busy few months for Besa Gordon, the longtime radio host on KUBE here in Seattle as well as on JAM’N 107.5 in Portland and B95 in Fresno California was thrown a loop as KUBE one of Seattle’s legacy urban stations was taken off-air and reformatted to Sports Radio KJR. Although Besa was still on-air in Oregon and California, her voice fell silent here in the Emerald City.
