Many of us have lost loved ones recently. I found this encouraging article about "why? Thanks to Billy Reed for sharing. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/26/opinion/dowd-why-god.html

My name is Leesa Mitchell and I am thrilled to be part of the legendary WAKY! A native of Peoria IL., my family landed in Louisville when I was ten. Even though I like to travel and lived briefly in Chicago, Louisville is my "heartland."

How long have I been floating on the Louisville area airwaves? Nearly twenty five years—maybe you caught me doing midday’s or as co-host of a few top rated morning shows. As the Derby City Diva, I also perform as a professional emcee/host and DJ for special events, fundraisers, galas, parties, weddings and night club events. Remember me for your next event. I’m WAKY!

As for the "real" stuff--I am a proud step mom to Tori & Ali and grandma to their very cool kids (six of them). Zena the American Dingo, Willie the Beagle, and Gabby the Tabby are my furry kids. I also married my high school sweetheart, Darrell (15 years after the fact!). Glad we waited...if we'd married in High School it would not have worked. Eighteen is too young to get married if you can help it!

Anywho...

The eclectic Original Highlands area of Louisville is where I spend my time walking around Cherokee Park with Zena & Willie, enjoying good music, good friends, good wine and good food. It is my belief that we were put here to help each other and I try to make a difference in the world by helping raise awareness for Shelter Animal adoption and the local human trafficking task-force, Rescue & Restore.

Give me a listen from 10 am – 3 pm weekdays. Give me a “holler” for my Diva’s Diner all request show at noon.
