Wake up Radio

Carl B. Moxie was born in Jamaica West Indies... As a young teen, he migrated to the USA after being invited to California by former light heavyweight boxing champion Archie Moore, former middleweight boxing champion Sugar Ray Robinson and then heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali. Moxie fought and raised monies to help build shelters for homeless and for kids from broken homes in California. His stay in California put him in company of several Hollywood movie stars, which include Sidney Poitier, the late Ivan Dixon, Tony Randall, Raquel Welch, Otis Young and others. He moved to New York City in the late sixties. Carl founded Concerned Jamaican Citizens and Friends Organization (CJCF) with an objective to provide support, primarily financial, to health institutions in Jamaica W.I., and also to provide services for the youths in our communities. Through their CJCF organization, aggressive promotions and fund-raising activities and after twelve years, they donated thousands of dollars in cash, hospital equipment and kinds to hospitals in the island and to other institutions here in the United States.
His eagerness and commitment to help foster the growth of people, especially the youth, have kept him always aggressively exploring innovative ways to do so. He has used strategies such as, but not limited to, writing and recording with music positive lyrics, and freely distributed these records within the community. His latest 20-track CD compilation is titled; “Liberation”. He also FREELY wrote forum and opinion pieces for some of the major Black owned newspapers in New York City, which includes The Daily Challenge, The New York Carib News, The Jamaican Gleaner, The City Sun and The Amsterdam News and also Everybody’s Magazine. His drive to promote the positive growth of the youths has influenced his decision to host a Caribbean radio show, The Carl B Moxie Wake up Call Radio Show and is aired on 93.5 FM radio, each Saturday at 11:30 AM and Sunday at 8:00 AM. The Wake-Up call is designed to evoke awareness through inspirational music, features and messages.
