Good conversations change everything.
MEDIA PERSONALITY | HOST | STORYTELLER
Media
I’ve always had a thing for good conversation.
Whether I’m behind the microphone at SiriusXM’s Urban View, interviewing an artist or hosting a conversation in front of a live audience, I’m interested in he stories behind the stories.
The ones that make us think, laugh and reconsider something we thought we knew, or see the world a little differently.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of talking with some of the most fascinating people in the world. And after all that time I’m still as curious as ever.

A NOTE FROM SHAWNA
While I’m a broadcaster by profession, my interests have never fit neatly into one box.
I love music, good storytelling, discovering new places and being around people who have something interesting to say. I’m also a firm believer in trying new things no matter how many birthdays we’ve celebrated. Which might explain why I recently decided to learn how to DJ.
Some things you do because they make sense. Others you do simply because they make you happy.
I’m making room for more of both.
