"I was drafted into the WNBA but volunteered to serve (active duty) in the Air Force and Army. Wild, huh?" 🤷🏽‍♀️

 

Following a hall-of-fame athletic career and dual-service military tenure, Madinah (ma-Dee-na) Slaise retired from her officership in the US Air Force Nurse Corps in 2018.​​ But, the digital adventures of this multi-skilled journalist began with an invitation to apply for a sports broadcasting internship at WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1999. ⛹🏽‍♀️ (Go Bearcats!) By 2023, Seattleites had fallen head over heels with the quirky freelance volunteer news producer and her infectious on-air personality. 

 

When she isn't behind the camera 📸 or cutting up in Logic Pro, Madinah maintains a strategic focus on public health. In 2023, she served as the Health Disparities Chair of the Seattle Mayor's Council on African American Elders (MCAAE). Her duties included advising the Mayor and government officials regarding the policies, practices, and programs impacting African American seniors in the metropolis. 

 

In March 2024, Madinah cold-pitched her eponymous Madinah In The Market (MITM) radio show to the Pike Place Market Marketing and Public Relations Department. The unprecedented series launch opened doors for independent producers while solidifying her position as a feature prime-time host on 91.3 KBCS-FM. MITM is a lifestyle series that captures the essence of community, entrepreneurship, and culinary delight for more than 2.5 million listeners across the Puget Sound every Saturday at 06:40 PT. ☕️
