APRAYER GRANT is taking over the airwaves – and she’s just six years old.

The London schoolgirl, who hosts a monthly radio show on The Beat London 103.6FM is using the her voice to spread positive vibes, uplift and inform.

Aprayer, who is believed to be the UK’s youngest black female radio presenter, started her show, The Kids Crown Show, on July 25. Melinda, Aprayer’s mother, told The Voice her daughter expressed a desire to host her own regular radio programme after the death of George Floyd.

The determined youngster told her father, Shawn, that she wanted to tell other children about the importance of affirmations and also discuss black role models.

“She said to her dad that she wants her own radio show so that she can empower the young black children because I tried to keep George Floyd away from her, as much as I could.

“I didn’t know how to tell her about police brutality but in school they showed her Newsround and the Newsround was about what happened to George so I had to sit her down and explain to her.”

The Kids Crown Show features a range of segments, including Aprayer’s Affirmations, Aprayer’s Challenge and Aprayer’s Black Role Model of the Month. At the centre of it all is Aprayer’s mission to use her platform to educate young people to believe in their dreams and realise that they can become whatever they want to be.

Positivity

Hosting a radio show at such a young age is an impressive feat.

Aprayer has a monthly slot on Beat FM on the last Saturday of every month. The frequency of the show means that it doesn’t impact negatively on her education and gives her time to enjoy being a child.
