Ryan speaks on his friendship with Wanda, and her inspiring legacy. He also gives his opinion about Smith’s viral interview with Katt Williams, apologizing to her loved ones for the lasting negative impact that it created.
“You caused unnecessary harm, unnecessary heartbreak, unnecessary trauma…You cannot—if you really care about somebody—use a bad moment to then profit.” -Ryan Cameron

Certain publications have credited a particular morning show for Wanda’s start in radio, but her radio career was actually established years prior to joining a morning show. The former radio producer (now radio program director) who met Wanda at a comedy club, introduced her to radio and first discovered her as an on-air talent, Derek Harper, gives his exclusive take.
“1997 was the year…I went to Uptown [Comedy Club] one particular night, and Wanda was the host…We brought her on, and she killed that first day…the rest is history.” -Derek Harper
