In this episode of the Brighter Day Outreach podcast, host Beverly Knox Davis interviews Jonah J Reid (known professionally as J. Reid), a Charlotte-based entertainer and entrepreneur. Jonah reflects on his roots as a child actor inspired by his mother and his transition into a professional MC and music artist.
A central theme of the conversation is Jonah’s transformative experience at Fayetteville State University, an HBCU where he learned the importance of academic discipline and networking. While on campus, he served as a band announcer and hosted major events, skills that eventually led to international hosting opportunities.
Today, Jonah runs J Reid Productions LLC, a business dedicated to helping local creatives and entrepreneurs through event marketing and social media design. He remains a prominent figure in the Charlotte creative scene, collaborating with organizations like Charlotte is Creative and the Boom Festival to uplift his community. He will also be performing at this year's Celebration of Kings Even in Historic Hoskins on June 20th 12pm-4pm!
