One year ago, Tampa’s own Roxanne Escobales came back from the U.K. after 7 years abroad. A former Creative Loaf-er in her 20’s, Roxanne went on to work for big media sources during her time in London. Upon her return to Tampa, she quickly joined the WMNF family as a volunteer reporter (becoming News Volunteer [...]
Today is International Women’s Day!
