Interview with CENTRAL AVE co-hosts Julissa Bermudez and Sanya Richards-Ross

by Contributor Candace Cordelia & Le Anne Lindsay, Editor

Got a chance to cover some Philly TV entertainment.  Well, let me clarify, the show is called CENTRAL AVE and it’s nationally syndicated, but for Philadelphia it airs 11pm Saturday & Sunday on Ch 17 WPHL-TV.

And when I say cover, well, I received the opportunity to interview these 2 fab co-hosts of Central Ave – Julissa Bermudez and Sanya Richards-Ross, but I was in the middle of covering 3 virtual film fests. So, I called upon my friend and colleague Candace Cordelia! Candace is a Philly-based on-camera host and writer who once upon a time contributed regularly to Tinsel & Tine as Candi’s Corner.  Then she was off to NYC for a radio gig where she got to hone her interviewing skills. She’s now back in Philly (cause this is where it’s at) and has recently started her own Youtube channel.  And, among other things, has just been tapped as media personality for Paradigm Pro Wrestling. She’s a consummate professional and looks great on camera, so I’m thankful she made time to cover something for me.

Now back to “Central Ave” – following a limited run last year, the half-hour series, produced by Will Packer Productions, Co-Creator Monique Chenault, Showrunner & Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury is fully committed to investigating and examining the entertainment, trends and celebrities that are making the greatest impact. Central Ave has changed the way audiences view and relate to pop culture and the entertainment world,” said Packer. “The diverse and powerful stories featured on this show are meant to provoke, infuriate and inspire people to make positive changes that will impact our society and the world around us.”
