About your host

Dr J is of Sierra Leonean and Liberian heritage who, as a result of his love of music, became an accidental DJ since his school days in Freetown hosting parties, discos, and as DJ backup to live acts.

He continued his craft since arriving in Bristol in the late 1980s covering classical and contemporary music from around the world – Pop, Soul, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Hip-hop, Reggae, Dancehall, Soca, UK
Garage, Latin, etc. and including all African Beats & Rhythms on the continent and diaspora – hosting African Nights in the clubs, pubs, and community centres in Bristol and South West England.

Having worked at a range of radio stations, Dr J’s heart landed here at Ujima Radio! Starting out as a life-long Ujima Radio 98 FM volunteer since its formative days and as a presenter starting with World Anthems and currently African Anthems – both shows featuring worldwide Afrocentric music.

RISE Women with Lynn Mareno

RISE Women on Ujima radio is a platform to promote and share the successes and efforts of the African Caribbean heritage community of Bristol.

RISE Women began broadcasting in May 2015 and this popular weekly show features specific topics aimed at business, health and wellbeing as well awareness of events that take place in and around Bristol from within the African Caribbean Community and news from home and abroad.

It is vital that knowledge of history is shared and the positive narrative of  achievements are made aware not only to the community but outside the Black community, Rise Women do this through their feature called ‘Let’s talk our history’(LTOH).

As well as giving a number of local entrepreneurs a chance to promote their businesses they have interviewed a number of prominent members of the community in the Rise ‘Hot seat’.

Guests have included:

  • Mayor Marvin Rees
  • Mr. Roy Hackett
    Founder St Paul’s Carnival Bristol
  • Ms. Peaches Golding OBE
    Lord Lieutenant of Bristol
  • Mr. Tony Bullimore
    Entrepreneur & Proprietor The Bamboo Club
