Sharing my story on Oprah Radio

Today, June 19th, I was given an amazing opportunity. I was allowed to share a little bit of my story and my family’s story on Oprah Radio’s The Derrick Ashong Experience during a discussion about fatherhood and fathers.

Derrick Ashong is a musician, artist, social entrepreneur, and radio host who’s taking talk radio to the next level. The Derrick Ashong Experience discusses issues in society, arts, business, politics, and about how each of us can make this world a little bit better. I highly recommend catching future airings of Derrick’s show. It airs Saturdays on Oprah Radio – XM Channel 156 and Sirius Channel 195, from 12 pm to 3 pm ET, 11 am to 2 pm CT. You can also watch it live online at Ustream.tv here: http://www.ustream.tv/derrickashongexperience . Or if you can’t tune in live, you can watch a repeat online of the show a few days after broadcast on Oprah.com here: http://www.oprah.com/oprahradio/About-Oprah-Radio-Host-Derrick-N-Ashong . Also be sure to follow him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ashong and join his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/DerrickAshongExperience.

I shared how my father was abusive to my mother and how they broke up and how my father left for good when I was about 9 years old. When the video of the show is uploaded onto Oprah.com I will add it to the bottom of this post so those who are interested can check it out.

I’d like to thank Derrick, his producers, and the rest of the crew at Oprah Radio for giving me a chance to share my story. I really appreciate such an opportunity!

I’d also like to welcome the listeners of The Derrick Ashong Experience to Lyved. I hope you find this site enjoyable and valuable.

You can hear me share my family’s story after the 1 hour and 26 minutes mark, but I recommend checking Derrick’s full show out and his future shows.
