Lori Flowers is responsible for creating marketing opportunities for all Radio One & Reach Media radio stations and nationally syndicated shows.

Lori was selected for MIW’s 2008 Mildred Carter Mentorship Program and has successfully completed National Association of Broadcasters coursework in Leadership Development, Executive Leadership Development, and Broadcast Leadership Training. She has been featured in Who’s Who in Black Atlanta on numerous occasions. Her desire to share professional development tips for women looking to climb the corporate ladder inspired her to author and publish “A Seat at the Table: A Survival Guide for Women in Business.” Lori is a graduate of Nashville’s Fisk University. She received her Masters of Mass Communication from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunications at Arizona State University.
Jenna Miller oversees sales efforts for two of Cox Media Group Tampa’s music brands and is the point manager for CMG Health Marketing and CMG Research.

Her experience and business acumen earned Jenna senior account executive positions in New York City for both iHeartMedia Inc. and Audacy Inc. (formerly Entercom Communications).
Jenna completed Radio Advertising Bureau’s (RAB) Rising Through The Ranks, a leadership program sponsored by the Radio Advertising Bureau, BMI, Inc. and MIW, and was awarded 1 of 3 national mentorships for MIW’s 2021 Mildred Carter Mentorship Program. Recognized for her genuine interest in helping others, Jenna volunteered to join the MIW Mentoring Committee in 2022 representing the Mildred Carter Mentees. She continues to serve in that capacity. Jenna is also a past mentor in the She Runs It NYC (formerly known as Advertising Women of NY) mentoring program.
