Meet Business Woman Dwana Bradley

We first learned of the very busy Dwana Bradley from our friend Tiffany Menke of the Urbandale Chamber. She hooked us up and we are so grateful. Dwana is the Editor of The Des Moines Urban Experience the owner of the Urban Media Company and the Executive Director of Iowa Juneteenth. We told you she was busy. We start out talking about her magazine the Urban Experience, roll into her printing company and then talk about Iowa Juneteenth that we suspect you may not know about until...now. Oh, one other thing, the headliner for the Juneteenth Celebration is Soledad O'Brien. Have we got your attention now?  Meet Dwana...
