MONI DOES IMPROMPTU RADIO INTERVIEW TO PROMOTE THE POETS NICHE -

 On January 5, 1999, I had my first radio interview on Q93 here in New Orleans. A friend of mine (CJ Morgan, New Orleans' top deejay) called me in between commercials and asked me to share with his audience information about Poets Niche. With only 19 seconds to go, moni was on the air LIVE!!! (Somewhere between 16 seconds and 0, I lost consciousness). I tried REALLY, REALLY HARD not to embarrass y'all (although I did forget my name for a second until I heard CJ say it). His co-anchor, Monica Pierre (NOW Y'ALL KNOW I LIKEDDDD HER, cause of that Monica thang), chimed in and made me feel very comfortable. Those TWO MINUTES felt like a week, but I must say I recovered quite nicely. So what happened next? I became an INFOMERCIAL QUEEN, telling folks how much fun we're having and how they can become a member.

From just two minutes of babbling, 14 people called to find out more about the Poets Niche. Of those 14 calls, 2 joined. SAY HELLO, if you haven't already, to poet and songwriter, Tina Marie Clark, (lryicist@bellsouth.net); and performance poet, Monique Nichole Fradieu (definitivediva@yahoo.com). Monique will be performing on January 16th at the Community Bookstore (and I'll definitely be there checkin' my gurl out).

In the meantime, here's what Monica Pierre said: "You really expressed your vision well on Q 93 this week. I received a couple of calls from people very interested in what you are doing. . . Please give me a call to arrange an interview on my Sunday morning talk show, Quality Time with Monica Pierre.
