Besa Gordon talks Back2Besa and Sankofa Theater

Besa Gordon, a proud native of Seattle, Washington, is a dynamic television host and renowned radio personality at iHeart Radio. Her journey in broadcasting began in 2018 at KUBE 93.3, where she started as an overnight jock. Over the years, her talent and dedication propelled her to the coveted midday slot on KUBE 93.3, and her voice now resonates across the airwaves on HITS 106.1 in Seattle, JAM’N 107.5 in Portland, B95 in Fresno, California, V101 in Sacramento, California, and 102.3 The Beat in Austin, Texas.

Beyond her radio endeavors, Besa is a passionate advocate for Pacific Northwest artists, serving on the Governor's board for the PNW Chapter of the Recording Academy. She also hosts a vibrant weekly pop-culture and lifestyle show called "Back2Besa" on FOX 13 Seattle, FOX 13 +, and the nationwide FOX Local app. However, Besa's journey into television hosting began three years ago when she joined Seattle Media company Converge Media. It was there that her online video-based show, Rewind with Besa, garnered attention as a pop-culture program recapping the hottest trending topics each week, alongside interviews with local artists, influencers, business owners, athletes, politicians, and more. Notably, it was through Converge Media that FOX discovered Besa, leading to the opportunity for her TV show on FOX 13. Her path to television exemplifies the power of collaboration and the importance of platforms like Converge Media in fostering talent and opportunity.

Driven by her deep-rooted connections and influence within the community, Besa is committed to infusing the PNW music and entertainment scene with fresh energy and vitality. Through her innovative media mixers, she brings together local influencers, entertainment professionals, and entrepreneurs, fostering networking opportunities and providing valuable insights into marketing strategies, industry navigation, sponsorship acquisition, and more through diverse panel discussions. From her engaging brunches to lively day parties and mixers, Besa's impact in the Pacific Northwest continues to grow, leaving an indelible mark on its vibrant cultural landscape.

Besa caught up with TraeAnna Holiday on The Day With Trae to discuss the recent film she produced, Sankofa Theater Inscape Finale which aired last month on FOX 13 Seattle as well as what’s up next for her TV show Back2Besa.
