The Lemon Project Featured on Local Radio—and Wins Big!

Dawn Morris with Best Human-Interest Series – Radio (Small Market) award

We happily share that The Lemon Project was featured on the “Making a Difference Monday” radio show, hosted by Lisa Granger on FM 93.5 The Burg and WMBG AM 740. This weekly segment spotlights nonprofit organizations making a positive impact in the Williamsburg community.

During the February 2024 interview, Lemon Project team members Dr. Jajuan Johnson and Gabrielle Pressley spoke about our mission, ongoing work, and the importance of community engagement. The conversation touched on our research, outreach, and the lasting connections we aim to build in Williamsburg and beyond.

Following the interview, Traffic Manager and Client Services Coordinator Eve Rogers submitted the segment for award consideration at the 88th Annual Virginia Association of Broadcasters’ Summer Conference. We were happy to learn that the interview had been selected as a finalist—and I was excited to attend the award ceremony.

Lisa Granger’s interview with The Lemon Project won the award for Best Human-Interest Series – Radio (Small Market)! In fact, The Burg swept nearly every category in which they were nominated!

We are grateful to Lisa Granger and the entire team at The Burg for helping share our story—and we are proud to be part of a community that values the power of dialogue, reflection, and change.
