MEET JANINE
DAVIS

I'm a proud Southern girl - Greensboro, NC, born and raised. My love affair with radio started over 30 years ago, back when big hair and cassette tapes were still a thing. I earned my radio “stripes” working behind the scenes on the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show. I started as a producer, then leveled up to consultant, helping nearly 100 affiliate producers bring the show to life every day. Somewhere along the way, I snagged the #1 ABC Radio Network Affiliate Award — and picked up a few other honors for my work as a news and entertainment journalist.

​

Fast forward to today, and you can catch me hosting The Janine Davis Show middays, 10 AM to 3 PM, on V101.9 WBAV-FM, Charlotte’s top-rated urban adult station (in the #25 radio market, thank you very much!). About 100,000 amazing listeners tune in every week to hang out with me — and I don’t take that lightly.

​

Folks know me as “JD The Diva.” My show is spicy, bold, and full of life — celebrity gossip, trending topics, and current events served up with quick wit and an authentic vibe. I love bringing the real — whether it’s laughing over something wild in the news, dancing with my “Hunni Hive” during Facebook Live, or sharing personal stories during my heartfelt “Inspirational Moments” segment (which you can now find in my very own book!).

​

When I’m not on the air, my heart is in my work as a social impact entrepreneur. Back in 2003, I launched Girl Talk Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit that helps girls ages 11–16 develop confidence, leadership skills, and social awareness. We’ve reached more than 30,000 girls and their families, and I’m just getting started.

​

So, welcome to my world. Pull up a chair, get ready to turn up and let’s have some fun — because with JD The Diva, it’s always real, always lively, and always from the heart. Yasssss, hunni!
