Janine Davis
Radio Personality “JD The Diva” / WBAV-FM, V1019 FM
If the names JANINE DAVIS or JD sound familiar to you, then you have probably heard her on Charlotte radio in many forms. Her most famous – "JD, The Diva with the Dirt" – is the name that has branded this Greensboro, NC girl in the Queen City for more than two decades. "JD The Diva" is the spicy, bold and highly energetic radio and TV personality you hear hosting the midday shift (10am – 3pm) heard by more than 100,000 listeners each weekday at V 101.9.
An award-winning 30-year radio news and entertainment journalist, Janine brings her unique style of delivering entertainment, news, and inspiration to the airwaves. From her quick-witted ‘dirt’ on celebrities, the Facebook LIVE show featuring Janine’s Best Dance Moves to JD’s Inspirational Moment where she shares personal battles and triumphs, Janine keeps listeners engaged and entertained.
Her entertainment career includes interviews with celebrities like L.L. Cool J, Janet Jackson and dignitaries like former President Barack Obama. In the early part of her career, Janine was regarded as one of the top producers in the country of nationally syndicated “The Tom Joyner Morning Show”. She’s been recognized as ‘Woman of the Week’ by Women In Entertainment Empowerment Network (WEEN).
As a social impact entrepreneur, JD is highly regarded in the community after creating the nonprofit organization, Girl Talk Foundation, Inc. in 2003. It hosts structured programs to develop girls’ (ages 11-16) self-awareness, self-management and social competence. Since it’s inception, the Foundation has served more than 30,000 girls and their families.
JD is a champion making an impact in the community. She often serves as a guest contributor on WCCB-Charlotte, “The EDGE” as well as other television affiliates. She’s a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and unapologetically shouts “AGGIE PRIDE” when in support of her alma mater N.C. A&T State University – one of top 10 and largest historically black colleges and universities in the nation.
Janine lives by the motto: “Once you discover your greatness, you can be greater than great.”
