Frank Ski speaks to the Voice about Covid 19 and other important issues affecting Atlanta
For more than two decades, Atlanta radio host, DJ, and philanthropist, Frank Ski have empowered Atlanta listeners on their morning commute for years at V103. Since 1998, Frank Ski carved his path as a radio host and DJ working with Comedienne Wanda Smith to the current "The Morning Culture" show 6 am - 10 am.
As the chairman of the Frank Ski Kids Foundation, Ski's contributions to the Atlanta community is expansive. Still working hard in 2020, Frank talks about important issues affecting the Atlanta community and how he is proud to be a leader and why the younger generation should focus on important issues such as climate change and world affairs. Fresh off the air of his show, Ski gives an honest conversation from his perspective.
"What if we found a way to reach the younger generation with understanding their perspective? They are just as bright and focused. People thought I was crazy years ago when I took these kids to the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands learning about climate change. Now, look what's going on fires in Australia, tornadoes in Tennessee and all this supernatural weather."
Past generations celebrated the presence of black male leadership from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr to Malcolm X. Today the young black male generation is suffering. With a shortage of positive black male leadership and rising poverty due to economic issues, crime is rising. Today recent crime has gripped Lenox Mall in several shootings and the homeless population continues to grow.
"I believe kids today cannot relate to the leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr marching for civil rights. They study it in history books but it is not their reality, This young generation looks up to rappers and top athletes. "This is what a teenager sees from the images of social media and it is a different generation. It is up to us to be the leaders and be the examples to encourage our youth."
Before moving to Atlanta, Ski grew up in an all-white neighborhood with little diversity. Throug
