IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW...
Jillian "JJ" Simmons, a veteran radio host from Cincinnati, Ohio, is more than just another voice to fill the airwaves. As an on-air talent, she has captivated listeners from major cities from across the country, including her hometown Cincinnati (WIZF-FM), Dayton (WROU-FM), New York City (WBLS-FM, where she worked alongside "The Queen of All Media," Wendy Williams), Indianapolis (WHHH-FM), and also in Houston (KBXX-FM). Over the years, she has interviewed many of the rich, famous and influential, including President Barack Obama.
In addition to being a positive influence on people she meets through her work, JJ is a proud mother to a beautiful daughter. Although she has always had an innate desire to empower others, raising a daughter has deepened her desire to foster change in the lives of women, and inspired her to give birth to JJ's I'm Me Foundation. JJ is also the author of Without Bruises: A Journey To Hope, Help and Healing which tells her personal story of surviving domestic abuse.
