Missy Bolden was born and raised in "The City of Angels.” She transitioned to Columbus, Ohio as a teenager and is proud graduate of East High school and The Ohio State University. After a summer internship with CBS News in New York City, she realized her passion for the entertainment industry.
In efforts to become more marketable in her field, a chance meeting at Radio One Columbus led to a job opportunity in promotions. She quickly rose through the Radio One ranks from a remote tech to programming and producing many high profile key syndicated shows including The Coco Brother Live Show, The Monique Show and The D. L. Hughley Show. Missy also expanded her talents to include blogging, producing on-air promos and commercials spots.
After years of learning many facets of radio, she was able to fulfill her ultimate goal of on-air talent. Her big break came in 2014 when she "cracked the mic," with her on air debut as "Missy B." Currently, she is the newest face of WJYD Joy 107.1 on the weekend. Listen to her Saturday's 7-11p (Nights with Missy B) and Sunday's 10a-2p (Sunday Brunch with Missy B.)
You can find her all over Columbus, highlighting local events and resources with her Missy B On The Move digital segment. Her talents have also taken her nationally, to cover top entertainment award shows including The GMA Dove Awards, The Stellar Awards, BET Hip-Hop Awards and Essence Festival.
Missy B loves to travel, dine and is an advocate for women and girls. She supports young women through her girl empowerment program, iGirl.
I know I’m not the only person concerned about flying right now. I am a self diagnosed germaphobe, so needless to say, I’m a little on edge these days. Are you asking yourself, “Just how safe, or clean, is the airplane you’re traveling on?” Well, according to Fox 28, even though everyone can’t afford to fly privately on their own plane, germs don’t care if you’re seated in business class or coach.
They’ll hitch a ride wherever they can. Kristin Adams says her business, The Immaculate Touch, is taking off. Her crew details private planes, making sure every nook and cranny is clean, polished and perfect.
Even the carpet comes out for a deep cleaning. But, the cleaning challenge is even bigger for commercial jets. Scientists have found that among the dirtiest areas on these aircraft are the tray tables, armrests, seat-belts and even the seats.
“When you enter a plane, the first two areas are where people put most of their hands,” Adams says.”They grab onto the chairs and move on back.”
Most major airlines aren’t willing to share their cleaning secrets. Plus, the FAA doesn’t regulate or inspect aircraft cleaning. It’s left up to the individual airlines.
Adams says that’s why, when she’s flying commercial, she says she always brings along her own supplies — hand sanitizer and alcohol-based wipes.
She says she wipes down her arm rests, buttons and tray table; hoping to ward off what other passengers may have carried on.
