Radio One Inc., KMJQ Majic 102.1 FM’s Kandi “The Sweet Talker”
Eastman announced today that she has breast cancer.
Kandi, who has shared the workday with Houston radio listeners for over 19 years,
unveils the life-changing news on the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The announcement came with a studio filled with family, friends, and
well-wishers.
“Only Kandi Eastman would be strong enough to share her
personal health issue. The sharing of her cancer diagnosis will prayerfully
inspire others to realize the importance of early detection and screening. The
Radio One family has huddled around her, and we look forward to her radio
family joining us in prayers for her and her family,” says General Manager and
Vice President Doug Abernethy.
“Kandi is the “First Lady” of Majic 102.1 and over the past
19 years has been a shining star of strength for our staff and community. It is
our time to give back to Kandi and be strong for her as she recovers. Kandi is
a fighter, and we will fight with her,” says Operations Manager, Terri Thomas.
Eastman closed her announcement by saying: “I want to thank
my husband, my sons, my mother, my family, my extended family and friends,
let’s remain powerful in our prayers, as we support our cancer survivors by
wearing pink. I will win this battle.”
The Eastman family requests privacy as Kandi takes a leave
to begin treatment.
Supporters are encouraged to send cards, flowers, and
greetings to the KMJQ studios at 24 Greenway Plaza Suite 900 Houston ,
