Sister F.M. Diva stars Verna Hampton as a Howard Stern meets Whoopi Goldberg talk radio personality who speaks the truth and nothing but the truth about race, politics, and socio-economic condition of Blacks in America. Talk radio is everywhere but what happens when a talk radio diva hits the stage to tell it like it is--or like it ain’t. Sister F.M., also known as Sister Freedom Mouth, speaks about brothers with guns, Rosa Parks, health insurance, the homeless, white women, toxi-city, what is black, civil rights, blues news, mutha’ nature, and whatever else she wants to talk about during the show. Sister F.M. Diva features percussion music performed by Sanga of the Valley who worked as the lead drummer for Olatunji. Her music adds a soulful layer to the live, talk radio format especially on the Ode To Rosa Parks and What Is Black talk radio monologues.
