Myki Angeline Mother 🇵🇭 Filipina 🌿 Vegan Queer 🏳️🌈 Advocate 👊🏽 Kajukenbo &
98 Rock🎙Saturdays 10a-3p PST
The short version? I am a queer, vegan Filipina mom who loves our Sacramento music scene, martial arts, my daughter and giving big hugs! Besides having a kid, my bucket list completions include performing onstage as a singer for the cover band Repeat Offender, the drummer for Bitchkraft, and guitarist for The White Suits. Also – swimming with sharks (if you count standing knee high in the ocean and having a baby black tip shark swimming in between your legs). What can I say, I shoot for the stars!

I am an MXL Microphones artist who has worked in the music industry since 2011 in every way possible. From music journalist and podcaster, to judging contests and speaking on panels, I live to discover new music and creators. But what really swells my heart is volunteering with youth programs.
I have lived in Northern California my entire life. I grew up in Fairfield, spent some time in Vacaville before making the move to Sacramento in 1999 - and I never left! I discovered our amazing music scene in 2007 and found myself attending a handful of local music shows every month. In the fall of 2011 my career in radio began at V103 Rock, an underground internet rock station. By January 2012 I attended my first NAMM Show in Anaheim, California and felt like a kid in a candy store!
I hosted Afternoon Indie on V103 Rock for 2 ½ years before moving on to host audio and video interviews at concerts and festivals like Concerts in the Park and the Aftershock Festival. My love and support for our Sac music scene extended to booking entire line ups at various local venues like the Boardwalk, Club Retro, the former Marilyn’s on K, Faces Night Club along with speaking on music panels and judging battle of the bands contests.
I built lasting relationships in this industry and by 2015 joined the Women’s International Music Network as the Red Carpet Host for their annual She Rocks Awards. A year later I was promoted to media content manager and continue to attend the NAMM Show every January; it is the ultimate music family reunion. In that same year I created my first podcast the Mana Show and by 2016 earned my endorsement with MXL Microphones as a podcaster and music media journalist. My experience opened the door to speaking gigs, and I became a regular guest speaker for the Journalism classes at San Francisco State University. I am honored to have my interviewing tips included in the 2018 Journalism textbook Writing & Reporting The News For The 21st Century.
I am a bit of an overachiever who will try anything once. My career in entertainment spans from radio and television, to movies. Last year I created my 2nd podcast The Bad Filipino. I truly enjoy working with young people by volunteering for non-profit organizations like the Stairway To Stardom program, and Girls Rock Sacramento Music Camp ( teaching self-defense). Over the past 10 years I have interviewed some of the largest, influential, pioneers in the music industry which led me to my new career with Audacy! I love working at 98 Rock. I started out as a Board Operator and within six months became an on-air personality on Saturdays, recorded my first commercial, and joined the DEI Task Force. Working for Audacy is a dream come true for me, and am so excited for things to come!
More with Mia Amor & Michael and Marie Blanco from "VH1 Cartel Crew"
Mia Amor catches up with Michael & Marie Blanco from the hit show "VH1 Cartel Crew" Michael is the son of the very well known "cocaine godmother Griselda Blanco" the show is on season 3 and we get to see all that Michael and friends have accomplished although having a past in cartels.
Michael Corleone Blanco: is no stranger to losing people. He's lost most of his family to cartel violence and his mother's fortune to the federal government. But now, he's done losing. Michael is ready to wed Marie Ramirez De Arellano, and he's growing cannabis company Pure Blanco with Mike "Majix" Yuen. All is going well until Majix suggests Michael ask Marie for a prenup before they tie the knot. If Michael's mother were alive, Majix reminds him, she would never let him get married without one.
Marie Ramirez De Arellano: was born into the cartel life. Her father kept his business private, but the family knew he was involved in something nefarious. After many years of being in and out of prison, he was able to leave that life behind -- but he's chosen to leave Marie behind as well now that she's decided to spend her life with Michael Corleone Blanco. With her relationship with her blood family irreparably damaged, the little family she's built with Michael may be all she has left. Will his prenup request ruin their fairytale ending?

The Hundreds Unit is a diverse network of hundreds of women who work out collectively for 6-8 weeks, to perform at professional events. What makes the women of Hundreds Unit unique is that they consist of ALL shapes, sizes, ages, and levels of ability, dancing as one UNIT in their own unique way! The events that are secured, are venues that are exciting and draw hundreds and thousands of people. The idea behind this is that in addition to our participants being drawn to the opportunity to perform on such platforms, it also inspires them to commit to the entirety of our 6-8 week dance and fitness program, through a massive accountability group, performing in numbers of 50 to well over 100 women.
This process exposes the women of the Unit to different workout regimens, it encourages them to strive to accomplish their health and wellness goals regardless of how they presently may feel about themselves, and provides networking opportunities within the Unit, as the group encompasses women from different backgrounds and careers.
Essentially this program is designed to nurture the mind, body, and soul, long term, through empowerment provided through our Units.
Hundreds Unit is changing the lives of these women, by providing them with extraordinary experiences and opportunities that they would otherwise only dream of having.

Bio:
DJ Squintz. Appropriately named for the look in his eye, the more important thing is his ear for music. Being a DJ comes in handy when doing production and imaging, and having his ear to the street contributes to bringing that sound to the station. Having showcased his mixing talents in major markets such as San Jose, San Francisco, Portland, and even Las Vegas, DJ Squintz brings a well-traveled and universal appeal of music wherever he goes. “But when it’s all said and done, I’m hella Cali. Obviously, I just said hella.”
Between being on-air, mixing, and booking private events you may catch him any given night taking in a Kings game or at your favorite local restaurant.
“I’m definitely a foodie and we know Sac has some good spots. I’ll admit I’m a sucker for sushi and Korean BBQ, but I’ll grub on anything that doesn’t have onions.”
After holding residencies at premiere clubs from the Valley to the Bay, he now mixes it up each weekend for the station he grew up listening to on Club 102 and cracks the mic each weekday 7pm -12a.
“I have spun for artists like Frankie J and Baby Bash, Jeremih and Nef The Pharoah, from Goapele to E-40, but I gotta say that mixing for all the loyal listeners in Sacramento that ride with 102.5 is one of the best blessings I could have as a DJ.”

Jocelyn Love, Digital Entrepreneur, Advertising Guru and 📓 Accountability Coach, shares her message on how to "make your dreams and goals come true"
More on Jocelyn Love:
I am Jocelyn Love. I love Jesus, and yeah, I cuss a little!
Ok, ok, seriously, thank you for choosing to spend a little time getting to know me.
If asked to describe me in a few words, I am success-driven, compassionate, and resilient. However, I can also be impatient, sarcastic, and bossy…this makes me a well-rounded woman, doesn’t it? Maybe not, but you know, what’s marvelous about acknowledging the good with what could be perceived as bad, is once you know who you are and what you have to offer to the world, you can experience FREEDOM.
FREEDOM from judgment, FREEDOM from self-sabotage, FREEDOM from fear, and FREEDOM to be who YOU ARE!
Right now, take a little time to answer the question: “Who am I?” After you do that, say it out loud and reaffirm that every day, until YOU 100% believe it.
For me?
I am a boss.
I am confident.
I am valuable.
I am an advocate for authenticity.
I am imperfect.
I am a motivator.
I strive to be an example of what perseverance, hard work, successes, and failures look like.
I am a people person
and YOU
YOU are my WHY.
I want YOU to accomplish your goals.
I want YOU to experience financial freedom.
I want YOUR business to thrive.
And
I want YOU to have fun with a community of like-minded individuals along your journey.
