We had the good fortune of connecting with JR Langwell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi JR, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
I feel like just being yourself!! Don’t stay in that shell!! Get out there and do what you love. What your heart desires!! Be loose, don’t always be afraid to do something you really want!!

Go for your dreams!!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am most proud of my jobs Kroger the grocery store and the YMCA. It gives me a good feeling knowing I have put that smile on someones face!! I also enjoyed being in my 1st main stage play. You only live once!! Do it. Life is too short!!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I could give them a tour of where I do my radio show WRFG 89.3 fm!! I also drive Uber and Lyft, Zoo Atlanta is a fun place!!! Six Flags over Ga if they love Amusement Parks and thrill rides!!

Some Mountain Park. They have a really cool laser show!!

Also we are the home to Coca Cola, so the World Of Coke museum.The Varsity downtown, best chili dogs on this planet!!

My wife Rayshanda and I have been married 6 years. We met 2005 at a Valentine’s Dance at the YMCA!!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My friend Safiyah Pankey from the Decatur Dekalb YMCA. I have known her for 20 years!! She has inspired me!! She has encouraged me to do things through the 20 years I have known her.

She also cares for the community!!

I also want to dedicate this to my favorite childhood book Good Night Moon!!
