Dr. Kornegay on the Langston Vibes Show

Leslye Kornegay on Langston Vibes Show #23 – THE DRIVE

On Langston Vibes Show #23, co-hosted by Dr. Sherri Smith-Keys and Dr. Daryl D. Green, the focus was squarely on celebrating Women’s Achievements and Economic Empowerment. Broadcasting live on KBOB 89.9 FM and Facebook, the show featured a dynamic panel of influential women, including Dr. Leslye Kornegay, who brought powerful insights into women’s leadership and the importance of creating equitable economic opportunities.

Dr. Kornegay, a distinguished figure at Langston University, emphasized the critical role education plays in empowering women and closing gender-based economic gaps. Her commentary highlighted not just the achievements of women, but also the structural changes needed to sustain that progress—particularly through mentorship, access to capital, and inclusive leadership development.

During the Women’s Leadership Panel, Dr. Kornegay and fellow panelists—Professor Malayna Hasmanis, Professor Jacqueline Corley, Mrs. Beverly Kirk, and Mrs. Nika Wilson—shared their personal journeys and professional strategies. The discussion underscored how institutions like Langston University are incubators for female excellence, driving both local and national impact.

Listeners were invited to reflect on women who inspired their success and to engage in upcoming events, including a Mardi Gras Masquerade Fundraiser and entrepreneur-focused summits aimed at lifting student entrepreneurs, particularly women.

Through thoughtful dialogue and celebration, Dr. Kornegay's contributions embodied the theme of empowerment, leaving listeners with a clear message: women are not only achieving, but they’re leading transformation.
