Philanthropic Interests:
Helping nonprofits receive money via mobile donations! >> mgive.com
General Interests:
Music lover, budding philanthropist and self-educator.
Favorite Non-Profits:
We need them, we need to give to them, we need to support them, we need to volunteer for them, and we need to spread the word for them. And sometimes it really does take only $5 or a Facebook widget.
Who's your favorite philanthropist or social justice activist & why?:
All those who are actively participating in philanthropy on whatever level they can, because as Margaret Mead said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Now, when the economy is so frightening and makes us all want to batten down the hatches, is the most important time to invest in our communities. The services provided by our amazing nonprofit sector are all the more essential as things get tougher all over. A healthy nonprofit sector means a healthy community. We have to look out for each other on a local, national and global scale.

I know it's a cliche but Ghandi - who wanted us all to be the change we want to see in the world

Favorite quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. Marianne Williamson
Favorite Restaurants:

Favorite Non-Profits:
Philanthorpy is more that creating legacy, it is about doing what you can when you can for the betterment of society without an alternative motive or prospect for personal gain. It is about sharing your wallet, your skills, your time, your knowledge and your leadership whenever and whereever it is needed.

Description:
We are a Hispanic-controlled radio station combining mainstream and Latin jazz, blues, and specialty music interspersed with news and information.
Programs and Projects:
As our name indicates, jazz89 KUVO, we are mostly a jazz station. We chose jazz as our main format because we believe jazz to be the best musical representation of what this country is, a melting pot of various cultures each contributing its own ingredients to create something new and uniquely American in the true sense of the word. We also play the blues, the spinal chord of jazz as well as a variety of Latino and African derived music genres on the weekends.
When it comes to playing jazz on the radio jazz89 KUVO has earned a national reputation for playing the entire spectrum of recorded jazz, from the landmark Louis Armstrong Red Hot Fives & Sevens recordings of the 1920’s to the latest album by Wynton Marsalis and everything in between, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Ray Charles, Sonny Rollins, Carmen McRae, Joe Williams, Marian McPartland, Terence Blanchard, Diana Krall, Tito Puente, Monty Alexander, George Shearing, Arturo Sandoval and Kurt Elling. Traditional, swing, bop, trios, big bands, vocals, Latin and free-style, it’s all played on your Oasis in the City.
We also emphasize Denver and Colorado musicians like Dianne Reeves, Javon Jackson, Phil Urso, Ellyn Rucker, Ken Walker, Joe Bonner and Dale Bruning.
We ensure the future of jazz through our monthly performances of local middle school, high school and college ensembles.
Saturday afternoons we have our blues shows followed by a neo-soul program to attract younger and non-jazz or blues listeners. Sunday is specialty day, from gospel to Native American to South American. In addition, we feature the music of the Southwest Mexican-American and Chicano experience followed by Latin rock. Moreover, we have Afro-Caribbean jazz and dance music, then the music of the African Diaspora, continuing with Brazilian before returning to our jazz format on Sunday night. All of these shows feature folklore, classics and modern styles.
