MEET THE HOST

Maria "MJ" Jordan, formerly known as Maria Wills, is a multi-talented individual hailing from Prince Georges County, MD. Her journey in the world of entertainment began at the tender age of fifteen when she embarked on a career as a model and actress. Her very first photoshoot catapulted her to the cover of Mazza International Magazine, marking the inception of her remarkable career. On the theatrical stage, she graced the legendary Lincoln Theater in her debut play, "Common Realities."

In 2006, Maria relocated to Atlanta, GA, aiming to expand her brand. Here, she ventured into radio, initially as the host of "Girl Power Hour" alongside Jae Nash. This experience paved the way for her to create her own show, "Afternoon Tea" (ATR), which aired on REAL 1100am and IHeartRadio for the first 2 years and is known on YouTube as a podcast show. ATR garnered a substantial weekly audience of 500,000 in the second-largest Urban Radio market, and it boldly tackled challenging topics with renowned celebrities including Robert Ri’chard, Travis Cure, Brad James, Nicci Gilbert, Monyetta Shaw, and Dondria Nicole. Maria's show also featured insightful conversations with Jada Pinkett-Smith during a Red Table Talk Live event in Atlanta, GA, and Marjorie Harvey at her "Girls Who Rule the World" event.

Expanding her creative horizons, Maria Jordan proudly added "published author" to her illustrious portfolio with her debut children's book, "The Secret Keeper: Perfect the Way You Are." Inspired by her daughter, Juliana, this book empowers young readers to confront bullies not with violence but with confidence and kindness.
