Media Personality From Rankin County, Mississippi Heads to New York For Special Events

After hosting the popular radio show Conversations LIVE for over a decade, host and Rankin County, Mississippi native Cyrus Webb is enjoying not just amazing success with the program but incredible opportunities.

As he is gearing up for the release of his web-series Cyrus Webb Presents in August, the 39 year old is about to embark on a game-changing visit to New York June 14-18, culminating with lunch and an exclusive one-on-one interview with New York Times Bestselling author Jackie Collins and dinner with musical legend Dionne Warwick the same day.

“This is going to be a great opportunity to meet face-to-face some of the guests I have gotten to know simply over the radio waves and telephone,” says Webb. He will meet with both Collins and Warwick on Wed. June 17th during separate events.

What is Cyrus Webb Presents? Webb explains this way: “I see the program as the next step in sharing the work I am doing with the world.” Currently the radio show has over 1 million listeners online and is back on the radio dial in MS on WYAD 94.1 FM weeknights. Webb is also the Editor-In-Chief of Conversations Magazine which has thousands of readers online.

Cyrus Webb Presents will take the conversations Webb has been able to bring to the radio waves and feature in the pages of the magazine to a larger audience through Youtube. “It’s going to be great to meet some of the individuals I have been able to interview over the years,” says Webb.

Outside of the interviews with Ms. Collins and Mr. Warwick, Webb will be interviewing Mississippi’s own authors Stephanie Mitchell and Glenda L. Hunter, columnist Jennifer Waggoner and recording artist Hollywood Luck for the web-series.

Cat Hair in My Coffee by Just Jennifer

   


I am a busy mom with 2 of my 3 children still at home. I also have a household to run 
alone, a full-time job, and this writing gig. My life is hectic. My home is usually 
messy, my laundry is never quite finished (I wash it, it just doesn't get put away), and 
I'm sure I've forgotten what color my hair once was (brown? Surely not this speckled grey 
color). Don't judge me...my kids are healthy and, except for the occasional rant, quite 
happy. But this morning started out all wrong.

   At 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning, I woke up to the family cat, Annabelle, screeching 
outside my bedroom door. I jumped out of bed, enthusiastically ready to start my day (or 
saying a few choice words and groaning...it's really all about perception). I was awake 
and I was moving, so I thought I might as well get some coffee brewing. 

   Being that the little one (as I refer to the youngest of the brood) was still asleep, 
I made sure to tiptoe past her bedroom. As I finished starting my brew and sat on my 
favorite end of the couch I heard it: the familiar sound of the little one tossing and 
turning. For those of you who are parents, you know the sound. And what do we do? We sit 
very still, we hardly breathe, we slowly reach for the television remote and turn it 
off....anything that might keep her asleep for another 30 minutes. That's what good 
parenting is, right? Ensuring your children get enough sleep? Ok, stop judging me. I 
heard the little one settle down and made my way to the kitchen for my cupful of morning 
bliss. 

   I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my favorite hand warmer mug and poured my dark 
roast cup of love. Yes, I love coffee. I love it like I love wine, but that's another 
story. As I lifted my own personal bit of joy in the mornings to my lips, I saw it: a 
big, bold, arrogant cat hair in my coffee. What did I do? I scooped it out and drank my 
coffee!!

   The point of all this is to simply say that a cat hair in my coffee is minor. It's 
nothing. Whether the house is clean, the laundry is folded, or the little one stays 
asleep long enough for me to indulge in my morning brew peacefully...these are the small 
things in life. Take them as such. Simply scoop the cat hair from your coffee, take a 
satisfying drink, and save your energy for the big things. But, that's just my opinion.
