This episode is with a broadcasting legend, Sandra Hughes.
Sandra Hughes was the first African American woman to host her own talk show in North Carolina, with Sandra and Friends. She was the first female broadcaster invited to participate in the European Communities' Visitors Program. She was the first African American woman in the Southeast to host PM Magazine, which was broadcasted nationally, along with many more awards and accomplishments.
As I was growing up in Greensboro, North Carolina, I knew Sandra Hughes, but I called her aunt San.
Here in North Carolina people have seen Sandra Hughes for decades on WFMY-TV, but what you didn't get to see was the funny, great story telling aunt San. This episode not only tells the story of her past, but it also gives you a glimpse of the person, not just the legend.
We hope you enjoy!
