Meet Dizzy The Host of Hampton Va

Today we’d like to introduce you to Dizzy The Host.

Hi Dizzy, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Since 1996, I have served as the CEO of La Femme Nakita Productions and Dizzy The Host Inc., my entertainment management, booking, branding, and special events company. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and my Master of Business Administration from Saint Leo University.
Born and raised in Hampton, Virginia, I’ve grown into an internationally recognized hostess, emcee, comedienne, event coordinator, poet, spoken word artist, blogger, plus‑size model, podcaster, and actress. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with industry greats such as D.L. Hughley, Bill Bellamy, Thomas Ford, Roxie Diaz, Ruben Studdard, Paul Wall, George Huff, Jill Scott, Nottz, Full Force, Rakim, MC Lyte, Spinderella, Nate Jackson, and many more.
When I moved to Kaiserslautern, Germany in 2004, I continued pursuing my entertainment career by producing The Show Me What You Got Show, along with youth performance programs and entertainment camps for the military community worldwide. For over 22 years, my show has uplifted service members and families across the U.S. and overseas, offering a unique blend of entertainment, community connection, and emotional resilience. With more than 40 shows, over 500 performances, thousands of attendees, and more than $800,000 donated back to the military community, my mission has always been to honor, support, and celebrate those who serve.

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?
Hell No! The road has been anything but easy. Building Show Me What You Got has taken years of persistence, creativity, and resilience. I was producing a full‑scale entertainment show while working as a full‑time Army civilian, navigating military rules, limited resources, constant relocations, and the challenge of rebuilding momentum every time I moved to a new installation.

And on top of all that, I was doing it as a Black woman in charge of something big — something visible, something influential — inside a system where leadership often didn’t look like me. That added a whole different layer of challenges. I had to constantly prove myself, justify the value of the show, and convince leaders to allow us into their spaces. There were times when I had to fight twice as hard for the same “yes” others received easily. There were moments when my authority was questioned, my expertise underestimated, or my vision doubted before it was even heard.

And I’m still battling some of that today.

But every challenge made the show stronger. Every relocation expanded our reach. Every “no” pushed me to innovate. And the fact that the show has lasted more than 22 years, across multiple countries, with thousands of attendees and hundreds of performers — that’s proof of what happens when you refuse to quit. The obstacles are part of the process.

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?
At my core, I create spaces where people feel seen, celebrated, and connected. I’m the creator and executive producer of Show Me What You Got, the largest and longest‑running military‑affiliated talent show in the world. For more than 22 years, I’ve specialized in producing high‑impact entertainment experiences that uplift service members and their families across the U.S. and overseas.

I’m known for blending comedy, hosting, production, and community building into one seamless experience. My background as a comedienne, emcee, event producer, and Army civilian gives me a unique lens — I understand both the emotional needs of the military community and the creative power of entertainment. That combination allows me to design shows that aren’t just fun, but deeply meaningful.

What I’m most proud of is the impact.
Over 40 shows.
More than 500 performances.
Thousands of attendees.
And over $800,000 donated back to the military community.

But beyond the numbers, I’m proud that SMWYG has become a safe space — a place where service members can express themselves, release stress, and be reminded that they are more than their rank or uniform.

What sets me apart is the way I lead. I’m a Black woman running a major production inside military spaces, and that hasn’t always been easy. I’ve had to convince leadership who didn’t look like me to trust my vision, to let us into their facilities, and to believe in the value of entertainment as a morale and resilience tool. I’ve had to fight for access, for resources, and for respect — and I’m still fighting some of those battles today.

But I never stopped.
I never shrank.
And I never compromised the mission.

My work stands out because it’s rooted in purpose. SMWYG isn’t just a show — it’s a movement, a healing tool, and a reminder that creativity is part of the human experience, even in the most structured environments. That’s what drives me, and that’s what keeps this show growing year after year.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
