Sasha The Diva: Work Hard & Don’t Lose Yourself


Written By: Maya Perry

“Work Hard. Don’t lose yourself in others. Stick up for yourself. Be aggressive and stick up for what you want.” 

Sasha The Diva doesn’t see herself as an one dimensional personality. She is a radio host, actress, philanthropist, public/motivational speaker, and an entrepreneur owning several businesses. She states “I did not find my purpose, it was a gift given to me from God! I knew this was my path, God gave me this gift.” Sasha The Diva describes her start in radio. “I started in radio working as in intern at V103 in Baltimore, Maryland. I worked in the promotions department, I worked in the office. I did not care if they asked me to bring them coffee or anything. I would ask them how much cream and sugar. I was just excited to be in the building and I was learning everything to know about radio.” Like most women in the industry, Sasha The Diva did any and everything to work towards her goals of being in radio. 

First thing I notice when speaking to Sasha was her cute radio name. When asked how she came up with her name, she explains, “Sasha the Diva was given to me by my father when I was a little girl and I just embraced the name! I have always been Sasha the Diva.” 

You can catch Sasha the Diva every day on Rick and Sasha, heard around the country.. When I asked what advice she would give to upcoming women of the airwaves, she states, “I should have listened to my parents more because they were giving me great advice, but I wanted to do it my way. My way ended up wasting some time.”
