Taking over the airwaves with Roxy Romeo

Taking over the airwaves with Roxy Romeo

Author: Farrah Chow-Quan November 25, 2019 Duration: 38:57

From the sidelines I've seen her grow in her industry. 

I was so inspired by seeing her growth that I asked her to share her story on this podcast. And what a story it is, one of perseverance, commitment, risk-taking, growth and drive.

Roxy Romeo is currently a morning show host on the Philadelphia's Hip Hop and R&B station Power 99. Her story takes us from growing up in Miami to stumbling into a radio gig during college, to working up through the ranks and taking risks and making calculated moves which over many, many years landed her a coveted spot as a morning host!

This is truly a story about dedication and the journey.

I hope you'll take a listen and be inspired by this amazing woman.


Farrah Chow-Quan hosts In The Mix With Carnival Kicks, a vibrant exploration of the powerful cultural and economic forces behind major celebrations. This podcast moves beyond the spectacle of sequins and sound systems to delve into the intricate worlds of Caribbean Carnivals and international music festivals. Each conversation is a deep dive into the real stories: the designers and artisans who build breathtaking costumes, the entrepreneurs who navigate the demanding logistics of event planning, and the chefs and vendors whose food becomes part of the experience. You’ll hear from creators and business minds who operate at the intersection of beauty, fashion, and commerce, discussing how these vibrant events are built from the ground up. It’s about the rhythm of business as much as the rhythm of the music, offering a genuine backstage pass to the passion and strategy that make these global gatherings possible. Tune in for a rich, multifaceted audio journey that captures the true spirit of celebration, from sketchbook to stage.
