(Deep, warm, authoritative narrator — inspirational tone)
Before podcasts.
Before streaming.
Before media empires had a woman’s name on the door…
There was Cathy Hughes.
A single mother.
A fearless visionary.
A woman who refused to be silenced.
In a world that told her no, she built her own microphone.
In an industry that shut doors, she created a platform for millions of unheard voices.
From a small radio station in Washington, D.C., she ignited a cultural movement that reshaped Black media forever.
Radio One wasn’t just a business — it was a mission.
A megaphone for truth.
A lifeline for community.
Through struggle… sacrifice… and unshakable faith, Cathy Hughes turned determination into dominance — and legacy into leadership.
This is the story of a woman who didn’t just change radio… She changed the narrative.
Cathy Hughes.
Radio One.
The voice behind the voices.
Coming soon.
