Why I Support WBHM: Teri Lavette
Teri Lavette is an attorney, mother of two boys and a dollar-a-day sustaining member of WBHM. And she’s a loyal and consistent WBHM supporter. Lavette and her family have been members of WBHM since 1987.
Lavette says she supports WBHM because it’s a constant source of entertainment and education in her life.
“I listen on the way to work. I listen on the way home from work,” says Lavette. “I just think it makes me a smarter person.”
Public radio brings different perspectives into Lavette’s life. She believes listening to public radio has made her a more open-minded person.
And then there are those driveway moments.
“I have been known to sit and listen to the end of a story before going into the office or going home,” Lavette says. “It’s always difficult when the story is heartwarming…or heartbreaking…and I’m trying to go into the office with tears streaming down my face.”
If WBHM makes a difference in your life, Lavette suggests you support the station.
“If its something that really means a lot to you, don’t you think you should back it with your support? I do. And That’s why I’m a sustaining member,” Lavette says.
