当妮可·约翰逊(Nicole Johnson)因大流行而发现自己失业时,她说她用一杯茶坐在沙发上,问上帝下一步该怎么做。
约翰逊说,她随后为下萨克维尔的CIOE-97.5FM社区广播电台Cioe-97.5FM提出了一个主意。
约翰逊上周在接受审查员的采访时说:“我不知道广播,但我知道我对人们有一颗心。”“而且我只是关注这一点,并提出了我的主要理由来发展一个故事,挑选客人,了解他们,然后在演出中与他们谈论。”
“我遇到了车站老板吉姆·罗布森(Jim Robson),他听了我的音调,他说话了,他给了我机会。我跑了。”

Johnson is now the host of A Seat at the Table, an hour-long interview program that airs Wednesday at 7pm on 97.5FM.
Since the show’s debut, Johnson has hosted a number of guests including, Russell Grosse, the executive director of the Black Cultural Centre and technical director at CIOE, James Downey, the owner and CEO of Blacktop Asphalt Paving Ltd., and his operations manager Gary Good, and Rev. Debbie Simmonds from East Preston United Baptist Church where Johnson is a member.
“There’s an old saying and a proverb in the scripture that says, ‘What good can come out of Nazareth?'” Johnson said. “But what good can come out of Preston? North, East, Lake Loon, Cherry Brook? Great things have and great things still are. And so that’s kind of where my head is. It’s like, changing that negative and celebrate and highlight the positive and all the great things that we do.”
“我是一个喜欢观察人们的人,看看they’re doing, how they invest, and how they overcome. And those are things that should definitely be heard and celebrated.”

约翰逊(Johnson)的最新客人之一是前州长梅安·弗朗西斯(Mayann Francis),他是新斯科舍省第一位担任该职位的非洲新斯科舍省。
On Johnson’s show, Francis talked about her upbringing in Whitney Pier, Cape Breton, and as a member of the African Orthodox church where her father was a clergyman.
她谈到了自己的教育和职业背景,担任中尉的经验,回忆录和儿童读物,以及她认为当今重要的一些问题。
未来节目的故事
Johnson is volunteer in her role as host of A Seat at the Table. She also works as a community specialist with the Halifax Public Libraries, with a specific focus on services and programs within the Preston township.
Johnson said she hopes to interview poet and author George Elliott Clarke, members of 902 Man Up about their work around local crime prevention, and her own grandmother who, in her 80s, went back to school.
“她的故事很棒,”约翰逊说。“在她的时代,他们养育了家庭,他们无法完成学业。但是她喜欢教育。她总是为成为一名教育工作而感到自豪。所以我想分享她的故事。”
Johnson’s most recent guest is local Black female entrepreneur, Tia Upshaw.
“那是另一个很棒的故事,”约翰逊说。“一位年轻的女士,她以单身母亲的身份改变了她的一生,被监禁的人,现在取得了巨大的成功。”
