ABOUT FAYNC MAGAZINE
Tell us about The Two-Six Project?
The Two-Six Project is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization that serves as an incubator for initiatives included, but not limited to scholarships, educational programs, sports, among other mediums.
What do you think other people should know about this organization?
Brandon’s goals for the organization, man he had some great goals for Fayetteville Area Habitat for Humanity. One being “to help families find decent, safe, affordable places to live really is ultimately what it is. But, as we unpack that a little bit, in building houses and homes, we actually turn into building communities.”
The entire team was raised and has roots in
The Ville. We’re a team of young people who are passionate and find fulfillment in creating opportunities for students in our community.
What makes The Two-Six Project stand amongst other Non-Profit Organizations?
Similar to the last question: Every member our executive board and team were Fayetteville and have consistently invested the city itself, this is our chance to impact people.
What are the age requirements and do youth become involved in the Two-Six Project?
This is a question we get a lot. We’ve “officially” operating for the past 2 years have finally gotten to a place where looking to grow our team. There is no requirement, we just want people to something they’re passionate about. always encourage people to reach out Instagram to myself (@mo.somar) or to @TheTwoSixProject

hall, “Wendy Williams talking about you.” And I’m like “But you and don’t really talk. Why are you down here?” So, Yeah, so was there an attraction? Well yeah, there sure was.
So are you currently involved in a relationship now? And if so what type of guy are you attracted to?
I am single. I’ve only dated a few people since I’ve been in Fayetteville. I’m not gonna say they’re slim pickings. I’m not gonna say that I’m choosy. It just hasn’t unfolded when leave here, though. I went all the way to Cancun. Met someone there and like we vibed. I don’t know what’s going on with me here. I know people like all the soldiers there, and I’ve never dated a soldier. And again, I’ve been here going on like 9 years. So right now mama is open. I ain’t gonna say she’s available ‘cause I’m just gonna wait. don’t wanna pull the wrong thing towards myself, but I don’t have like a set type of person that I like, like dark skin, light skin, whatever. I just like people that are going to treat me well. That are on a good path. Got some sense about themselves. Financially stable. Just the things that make a person good. So I’m open. Not saying I’m looking, but don’t wanna put the wrong message out there.
Hey y’all heard it! So how has being a single mom affected your career and personal life? From a personal level think I’m handling being a mom really well, but maybe I don’t know if it’s had some kind of impact. Maybe people choose not to approach me because I am a woman that already has a package. I don’t know? But I don’t bring people around my child if don’t feel like it’s gonna be leading somewhere. Particularly with boys feel like they get a little more attached to people. So for us, it hasn’t affected us. Not that I know of, but it very well could have. Some people don’t want women that have children, but I’m a woman of a certain age more than likely somebody my age is already gonna have some kids. From a professional standpoint, I’ve been lucky enough to have a mom that holds me down. My mama didn’t start driving till she was 37.
Oh man. She started late. Yes, she did. And I was scared for my mom when I went off to college. ‘cause I was doing all the driving for her. But when became pregnant, snow started coming down the week that was supposed to have my child. My momma got herself in the car. She’s not a comfortable driver. She don’t like driving at night, any of that. She drove from Durham to Charlotte to make sure that she was present and she’s always been in my son’s life since he came here, so I’ve never, like, had to leave him with someone that was, you know, might be doubtful about. I’ve done some daycare, but I’ve just never had the horror stories. Not having people there available for me since he’s been here. So, thank God everything is working out. And particularly with radio having to be in nightclubs sometimes and just strange hours. It’s been an easy ride.
It seems like you’re balancing it though. You’re still here so that says a lot. Shout out to my mom again ‘cause don’t know what kind of ride it would have been without her.
So what advice do you have for someone that wants to work in radio?
Don’t do it. [laughs] Radio has changed a lot. Now there are a lot of departments that people can work in. So, I’m gonna say don’t just focus on being a radio talent. I’m not gonna tell you not to pursue it, but it’s not what it used to be. There are less jobs, there’s more syndication. And don’t think it’s a certain voice that you have to have to be in radio. Sometimes it’s just being in the right place at the right time. Like it was for me. I know a guy that I was in the grocery store talking on the phone and a
former supervisor turned around and was like, “I like your voice.” And that’s how he fell into radio. But the pay is different. It’s more work. You’re not just going to get on the radio and be smiley, smile all day and walk out the door. You’re gonna have other things that you have to do. It used to be numerous people in the building, your copyright. Just a lot of people and it’s just downsized so much so the opportunity
