Ask Now Show Hampton Roads: Top Rope Zeus

This season, when I asked readers what topics they'd like to discuss, the bulk of them revolved around dating, relationships, and sex. I also had a few questions specifically about online dating, and the effect of social media on relationships. I really wanted to talk about all of these topics. So I combined them into one episode. Will swiping right lead you to Mr. Right? 

However, I'm single, a girl, and dating confuses me lol. So I wanted to give y'all a different point of view. That brings me to @TopRopeZeus. He's a very talented actor and creator of popular Youtube series, Hump Day Romance. By the way, if you haven't seen it, check it out and thank me later. On this episode, we have a very open and honest discussion about a lot of things like online dating, having friends of the opposite sex and so much more.

I'm sure you guys are gonna laugh and have a lot to say about this episode. It got very REAL. I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Check it out

Ask Now Show Hampton Roads: LaQuayle Agurs

Recently, popular series like Fox's Empire and BET's Being Mary Jane have been discussing mental health and suicide. This is very interesting due to the fact that many African american families have made mental health a very taboo topic. On this episode of the Ask Now Show I spoke to LaQuayle Agurs, the first ever Miss HBCU. We discussed the significence of historically black colleges, suicide prevention, and her amazing plans for life after graduation!



@MissHBCUPageant

Ask Now Show Hampton Roads: Dominique da Diva

The first episode of the Ask Now Show features media personality Dominique da Diva. Dominique is one of my favorite media personalites, and she's based in the Virginia Beach area. She's been in radio for almost ten years and is in her twenties. Ask anyone in the media industry and they'll tell you, that alone shows she is talented. In addition to being in radio she's made quite a name for herself with a following of over 47,000 online and creating and hosting exclusive events.

In this episode we discuss the topic of entrepreneurship, establishing a brand, and the power of social media. We also have a lot of girl talk and discuss her dating life, celebrity crushes and mobile app that will be available everywhere Thursday, June 16, 2016.


Check it out here and let me know your thoughts. You can follow Dominique on social media at @Dominiquedadiva. Join the conversation by using the hashtag #AskNowShow.

The Ask Now Show is BACK

The Ask Now Show is finally back, and I am so excited about this season. The Ask Now show is a talk series that discusses topics submitted by college students and young professionals. Every episode features a special guest that is conversational and well versed on the topic.
Last season the series featured talent in the DC Metropolitan area. This time we are featuring my hometown Hampton Roads, VA. 

 In May of 2015 I received my Master's degree in producing for television and film. I was determined to find a network producing job in the fast pace city.  Sadly, I could not find a job in the DC area. It was very humbling to return home and start the job search all over again. But, God works in mysterious ways because soon after I came home I realized that's where I needed to be for awhile. 

I gained a media position that's helped fund AKC LLC projects. I've also been able to spend time and care for my family and loved ones. Lastly, I fell back in love with VA energy. We have so much talent and interesting people here. There is such a wide range of talent but for some reason its very unknown. 




Well this season I spoke to some of the biggest talent in the area. These people range from media personalities, student leaders and politicians. I spoke candidly about the topics readers submitted and tried to ask all the questions they'd want to know. 

Ask Now Season 1 was so important to me. It was me taking a big leap of faith, and I'm unapologetically happy it. However, I was a lot safer in my questioning and personality. I really feel like this season was more REAL. I argued back with some of the guests, selected controversial talent and obtained sponsors for  captivating locations. 

The afternoon of June 14th the first episode will be released. I invite you guys to check it out and give me your opinion. Join the conversation by using the hashtag #AskNowShow or reaching out via social media @askKirbyCarroll.
