Name: Jai (Jennifer) Washington
Title: 'O'-fficial #1 Fan of Cincinnati
Age: 41
Neighborhood: OTR
What do you do?
I am a radio show host (Cincinnati's Conscience), contributing writer (Ms. Cincinnati Magazine) and partner in the Stop the Violence Movement. I am trying to be a humble humanitarian.
Why do you do it?
I love this city and believe it is important to be a part of the change I 'O' so want to see here.
Why Cincinnati?
Why not? I know that we are a city founded on innovation and creativity; whether you are talking about architecture, arts, business, community resources, education or technology. It is all of our responsibility to keep the legacy created here alive.
What do you love about the city?
The architecture, the arts and independent music scene, the history, the people, the influence we have had on the rest of the world. I think you get the gist.
What are you trying to change about the city?
I want each and every one of us to know that there is a celebrity living inside us just waiting for the opportunity to shine. We forget the power we hold as engaged/informed citizens and it is my job to remind people while sharing that information with the rest of the world.
What's next?
My hope is to continue in my mission to 'turn people on' to the many 'O'-MAZING people, places and things that make our world beautiful, utilizing traditional and non-traditional mediums/outlets.
