Jillian “JJ” Simmons joins 89.3 KSBJ Houston middays and afternoons on Hope Media Group's (HMG) Worship 24/7 national network of stations.
"Joining Hope Media Group feels both humbling and exciting,” said Simmons. “I have long respected the organization’s commitment to meeting people where they are with messages of hope and faith. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve listeners and contribute to this incredible ministry.”
“J.J.’s love for people and her passion for sharing Hope make her a natural fit for our ministry,” said Jeff Evans, Vice President of Radio for Hope Media Group. “We’re excited for listeners to experience her heart not only on KSBJ but also through Worship 24/7, where worship continues to draw people closer to God.”
Longtime Houston radio listeners will remember Simmons from her five years on the 10-3pm slot on 97.9 The Box KBXX. Simmons left The Box in early 2017.
She previously worked at HOT 96.3 WHHH Indianapolis, WBLS New York, 101.1 The Wiz WIZF, Cincinnati, and WROU Dayton, Ohio.
Simmons is also widely recognized for her heart for service. As the founder of the “I’m Me Foundation”, she has dedicated herself to empowering middle and high school girls through leadership development. A graduate of Houston Christian University, she is currently deepening her impact by pursuing a Master of Divinity at Fuller Seminary.
In October 2016, Simmons published her story "Without Bruises: A Journey to Hope, Help and Healing," her story of an abusive relationship. Later in 2018, she wrote a follow-up book called "Respect My Crown: A 30-Day Affirmation Journal To Manifest Your Vision."
