Jacque Reid at HUR - She Got The Power To Reroute DC Traffic On A Friday!


Forget the traffic reporters, Jacque Reid got the power to reroute DC Friday Traffic with simply a song dedication!

Former BET News Anchor Jacque Reid was around the way in DC today along with Steve Harvey and The Morning Crew steveharveymorningshow broadcasting live from WHUR and they stayed in town for a Lexus giveaway later on that evening.

Jacque was also a guest on Tricina Grey's afternoon segment, Cafe 96 Tasty Tunes. She chose Sade's "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" and dedicated it to, "My baby, my future husband out there, whoever and wherever he may be." Oh! Are you kidding me?! LOL! I think I heard guys doing U-Turns in their vehicles in the middle of traffic from down by Howard all the way up Georgia Avenue! Brothas were callin in left and right trying to hollah at her! I was in a meeting and heard it after I got out. I think every Black Man in Washington, DC heard those words! LOL! I think they may have needed security to immediately escort her out the station after she said that to get her safely into their waiting limo and on to their next stop! (Cars screeching and pulling up in front of WHUR's window left and right. Brothas jumpin out their cars from business suits to jogging suits and trucks everywhere) "Exscuse me, but uh...Is Jacque Reid still up in here?!" "Jacque!" "Here I am, Jacque!" "Jacque! Over here, Jacque! Here I go!" "Naw, naw, it's me over here! Here I am, Jacque!"

Sade's "Love Is Stronger Than Pride." Say, What?! She hit it right there. That is what you call a special request. That is one of my favorite Sade songs of all time you don't hear everyday like we used to. OK, now it's my turn to hollah, "Jacque! Jacque! Jacque!" LOL.

Jacque Reid began her journalism career with anchor/reporter jobs at WBSG-TV in Brunswick, Georgia and at CBS affiliate WKYT-TV in Lexington, Kentucky. Later, she joined KPRC-TV, the NBC affiliate in Houston. From her stint in Houston, she moved on to anchor the morning news at CNN Headline News Network. She joined BET after CNN. (Why did BET decide to end the BET Nightly News? Why did BET let Tavis and Ed Gordon go too? That is a whole nother post that is coming up! Business decisions be damned, those were BIG mistakes in my book.) In addition to her anchor duties, she is also very active on the public speaking circuit.

Jacque Reid earned a B.A. degree in print journalism from Clark Atlanta University, a Master's degree in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University and is active member of the National Association of Black Journalists. She is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
