Jenell Hendrix - Ladies First

Fri 8:00pm-9:30pm

“Full of love and smooth as R&B, with a touch of Hip-Hop…”
That’s how Jenell describes her Dj style! She is never afraid to talk about the real issues, but she is very mindful of pouring light into her listeners by playing feel-good music relevant to her message.
Jenell Hendrix was born and raised in the Cham-bana area. She graduated from Champaign Central High School, and she received an Associate in Arts from Parkland College! Jenell is currently attending University of Baltimore obtaining her Bachelor’s in Digital Communications! She loves to learn and grow in her professions!
Having grown up with her father, she inherited his musical taste. And she loves music! Her favorites go back to classic R&B like, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Heatwave, Jackson 5, and much more. She, also, loves hip hop and R&B from the 90s to present day.
She inspires to be an active member in her community by using her talents in connection with WRFU, UC-IMC. Jenell wants to shine a light on her community by letting all her listeners know about the opportunities and businesses available to them. She wants everyone to know, not only can they dream, but they can obtain them! For everyone’s dream and life purpose is unique to them, and she wants to encourage them to bring it to pass! She will show them in her actions as On-air personality.
Not only is Jenell an On-air personality, but she is a model, 2015 ambassador for Hooters. Also, she is an actress. Appearances include national TV shows like, Chicago PD on NBC and Empire on FOX. Her prize job is being a mother to her 14 year old son. Jenell is no stranger to ‘ups and downs’, and she want to encourage her listeners through it all. As well as, provide them with the knowledge and resources around the community.
As she like to end her show:
“Don’t touch my crown!”
