#11 - Regina Russo on Cultural Communication and Diversifying Your Hustle

Regina Russo, Director of Communication for the Contemporary Arts Center, talks about helping people find and share their cultural voice, her experience working for “the Oprah of Detroit” after college, and the importance of always being connected to the community. As a child, Regina knew she wanted to be like Phil Donahue even before she understood what that really meant. She’d always been fascinated by conversation and the exchange of ideas, by the electrifying feeling that comes when you’re aligned with your purpose. We chatted about her progression from radio to television to communications, how life-altering events gave her permission to create the life she wanted, and why it’s imperative to use your gifts in a meaningful way.
