A local teen talk radio and TV show has captured the attention of the first lady of MSU football.

Sheila Williams, who is married to football head coach Bobby Williams, does public service announcements for the show on WQHH (96.5-FM) and local cable urging the community to watch and participate in the show’s success.

“Teens Talk Teens Listen,” originally developed by Pastor Viol Trice of The Word Church, 2710 W. Grand River Ave. in Lansing, airs every Friday at 7:30 p.m. on Lansing AT&T Broadband channel 16 and Saturday at 2:30 p.m. on WWSJ (1580-AM).

Williams said she immediately agreed to be involved with the show because of her children.

“Being a mother of two children are the center of my life,” Williams said. “Children have always been my focus even when I was a teacher in the Detroit Public School system.

“I consider young people my calling and feel it’s destined for me to be involved with young people of this show.”

Trice, co-host of the show, said the goal of “Teens Talk Teens Listen” is to give Lansing area youth a way to express themselves.

“The idea of the show originally came from a program we have called ‘One Pastor One School,’” he said. “We’re getting pastors, leaders, college students of the community to go into the middle schools during lunch hour and mentor students.

“Children need a way to express themselves, and hopefully this television program can make some parents aware of what their children are feeling. I also hope more college students would get involved with the teens and the show.”

Stasi Williams, a sophomore at Lansing’s Eastern High School, said she enjoys the outlet the show provides because more of her friends are becoming interested in it.

Stasi, 15, is a regular student panelist on the show.

“Every day when I get to school new people walk up to me and ask how can they get involved with the show,” Williams said. “The show is positive for us because we get a chance to explain how we feel about stuff, and adults have to listen.”
