Alocal talk show aimed at transforming the lives of households has been taking the airways by storm. The Lady Wendy Show, as it is being called, was first aired on February 5,
2018 on the National Communications Network (NCN) Channel 11.
The idea for such a broadcast came after its hostess, Wendy, overheard a conversation at an internet café. While there, Wendy heard a young woman complaining to her overseas relative about the hardships in Guyana and the fact that no one seems interested in helping youths. A curious Wendy, who hails from the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, but migrated to Canada at a very young age, thought to herself: ‘Why does it have to be this way? Maybe if I shift their mindset, they can see things the way I do. Maybe I can help.’
Soon after, the Lady Wendy Show was birthed. The first show titled, “Youths on the Move,” featured two progressive entrepreneurs—Anjie Lambert and Dennon Lewis. The duo have formed their own successful clothing business.
Many shows followed, covering topics like Generational Wealth, Self Love, Diabetes and High Blood Pressure Prevention, Betrayal and Forgiveness, and Seniors on the Move. There
has also been particular emphasis on Domestic Violence.
Very soon, Wendy will be starting a non-governmental organization which seeks to empower Guyanese by helping them to have healthier relationships. According to the talk show hostess, the NGO will also have a special focus on jobs.
As with any business venture, the road to success is never smooth. It is in this vein that Wendy divulged that the show’s biggest challenge is acquiring enough sponsorship. She said, “We wished government representatives would have partnered with us to help make a positive impact in Guyana.”
In the meantime, the show welcomes assistance from any individual or organisation that is concerned with bringing social changes in Guyana to the forefront.
Season Two of the talk show is currently airing and it promises to be more informative. It is being aired on NCN Channel 11 every Monday at 4:30PM and every Wednesday at 7:30PM. You can get all updates on the show by visiting its Facebook page – Lady Wendy Show.
