Today we’d like to introduce you to Corey Love.
Hi Corey, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I began interning for a radio station called 102 Jamz. Ironically, I was Terrance J’s intern. He was studying at NC A&T at the time and I was a senior in high school. I always felt my career path would be in radio broadcasting but I transitioned in television. I attended The Atlanta Broadcast Institute and once we completed the program, they assisted each student with an internship. Luckily, I was interning for The Bert Show in Atlanta and Hot 107.9 ATL and one of the directors asked me to join them on a television talk show. Let’s just say I never looked back afterward. I am grateful for the director seeing something within me.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has not always been easy. Every day you wake up, you may not feel as motivated as you did the day before when things are not working out the way you feel they should. The key is to always believe in yourself and know in your heart that it will work out in its divine timing.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a television executive and brand manager. One of my proudest career moments was working on “The Real.” Having the ability to bless others through my talents. Having the opportunity to send kids to college or even offering a platform for unheard voices to be heard was very fulfilling.
I would say what sets me apart from others is my gift of connection with people. You could put me in any room with anyone and that person will always remember their experience.
I created a themed photo shoot titled “Producer-ish” and the I brought together some of the tv industries top producers of color. I was inspired by Kenya Barris’ “Black-ish.” We remade the cover of “Black-ish” as a nod to him. I have always felt that people of color never receive their credit especially behind the scenes so I really wanted to create an opportunity to place the names in the credit in front of the camera.
