Akron's Talk Show Underway Downtown

Char Johnson  with Guest and Director/ Producer Maurice Thomas

Wanted to say thank you to my brotha Maurice Thomas for agreeing to work with us this summer as we're on break from our regular Prime Local Television Network programs. Remember we here at Mecca Media Edutainment is always trying to paint positive images of our people every day. We do this in an effort to combat all the negative imagery that we see regarding our people via the news, movies and many different social media outlets.

With that being said we are underway creating our summer programs that will be viewed exclusively via our AkronHipHop YouTube channel. Our main show/program features local media personality CharJohnson.com. The name of the "talk show" is called Chit Chat with Char. To make it clear the program should be looked at as just your average talk show ala Maury Povich or Dr. Phill. The show will touch on most of the controversial topics that shape the urban community as a whole.

Her first show was about being homeless in Akron Ohio. The conversation was powerful as we had a homeless person to shed light on why he was homeless and where to get daily help when you're going through the many different obstacles that can be thrown your way. Please check out the video posted below as we wrapped up the first taping of her program. Until next time, have some fun and get something done.
