EMPOWER HER WORLD
INSIGHTS WITH SARAH WHITE 1. Before we begin, for those who are not aware, give us a glimpse into who Sarah White is. Thank you so much for having me! I am thrilled to be a part of the October issue. I am a native of northeast Ohio, growing up here, on the border of Springfield Township, Mogadore and Tallmadge. I graduated from Mogadore HS and then from Kent State with a bachelor of Music in Voice performance. I am a mother of three girls who are an inspiration to me every day. Charlotte is 11, Brooklyn is 8 and Madison is 2. They are amazing people, and I love being their mom. I have been married to my husband, Ben for 19 years and we share a passion for God, loving others and caring about our community. I also have two fuzzy members of my family, a beabull named Rubble and an orange tabby named Daisy. We live in Akron, and love our city. 2. You recently embarked on a new adventure as the Host of Good Morning Akron. Share the inspiration behind that journey. Absolutely! I am so excited for this new adventure hosting Good Morning Akron. This is a passion project of mine and Dan Mosher, who runs WAOH television, the internet TV station behind Good Morning Akron. We used to run a similar show under the name Akron Buzz. We were ready to revamp and start a network where there could be multiple shows, with my show, Good Morning Akron, being one of them. We will have local non profits, community leaders, and business owners on the show. I am thrilled to host this show for the Akron and Northeast Ohio community. 3. Shining a spotlight on your local community has to be intensely rewarding. Has there been a particular moment that stood out to you? How do you plan to expand and grow the show in the future? It is. My FAVORITE thing about it is the connections not only that I get to make, but the connections that I have been able to help others make! Just this past week, two non profits came on the show and I was able to connect them, realizing that they both worked out of the north hill area of Akron. I also had another friend recently tell me that someone saw my interview with them and their non-profit, and that person had decided to come and volunteer because of my interview. That's what it's all about, making those connections. I would love to keep moving the show forward, get some more sponsors and turn this into a career for myself! It is my professional goal to eventually be able to do this work consistently & full time.
