Karen Williams began her radio career at KARN-AM in her hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Her on-air and behind the scenes experience led her to WNUA in 1991 where she hosted various weekend programs. Within two years, Karen was promoted to morning show host for WNUA’s “Jazz Up Your Morning” program. In 1997, she began co-hosting with Ramsey Lewis on WNUA 95.5. Karen now provides you with all of the latest news, weather & traffic as you wake up each morning on 93.9 Lite Fm!

It's Prom SEASON! Yes "season" - the Prom Itinerary last about a month! First there is the way-too-elaborate "asking to the prom" production. Then there's the tuxedo fitting/dress buying, the selecting and ordering of the flowers, prom tickets to buy and in some cases limos to book. Then there is the pre-prom picture party for kids and parents and then the actual Prom. Followed by.... the after prom party. Some kids actually rent hotel rooms or Michigan/Wisconsin cabins for the weekend. And because this isn't exciting enough - the "skip day" outing to Great America! When did this get so out of control? You really don't want your son or daughter to be the only one not allowed to join in the party but you've got to draw the line somewhere...right? We ARE the parents... right? I said no to the limo, hotel and unsupervised out-of-town sleepovers. Now - after all that ranting I want to proudly show off my handsome son Steven and his beautiful friend Gabby.
