The Carlos Watson Show

With local and international news full of heavy topics recently, there is some hope on the horizon…the World Health Organization (WHO) is one step closer to unveiling a vaccine against malaria, which could save thousands of lives each year globally. On the homefront, connecting with others and listening to one’s story have certainly been proven to be good for the soul. We are thrilled to continue to share vibrant narratives that provoke thoughtful questions and progressive thinking. And in many cases, some incredibly funny, insightful people.    


In the Studio

On the show last week, we chatted with a variety of successful, vibrant artists, commentators, comedians and actors with one common theme: they all go against the grain. This, however, hasn’t hasn’t stopped these leaders from achieving their life goals. 

Anjelah Johnson Reyes

Captivating actress, comedian and writer, Anjelah Johnson Reyes shares her thoughts on always connecting with humor, a lifetime of family bonds and how rejection and tenacity have shaped her story of success. 

Kelly Hu

In an engaging interview, model, actress and entrepreneur Kelly Hu talks openly about her humble beginnings in Hawaii to success in Hollywood on the big and little screens, as well as finding her true, joyous self in her early 50’s.

Queen Afua

For 40 years, Queen Afua has been on a journey of self-awareness and empowerment. This NYT best-selling author, holistic healer, wellness coach and pioneer in the green foods movement sits down with Carlos for a fascinating talk on her groundbreaking odyssey and embracing challenges in her life through what she calls “impeccable listening”.

Isaac Hayes III

Isaac Hayes III is an unorthodox entrepreneur as the founder and CEO of FanBase, an innovative social media platform that allows anyone to make money off their content via virtual currency. Isaac chats candidly about being the son of the late, great singing and soul voice legend, Isaac Hayes. He touches on creating his own path to becoming a successful artist, musician and producer in his own right, as well as an active proponent of Atlanta as the future of African-American prosperity and the “new black renaissance.”  — all the while being cognisant of failure and the life lessons that his legendary father taught him.


Upcoming Highlights

This week, it’s back to the studio with another round of forward-thinking pioneers in their respective fields who all share the view that life is what you make of it. We can’t wait for you to hear their empowering stories…

The rebel biologist
