WAOK 1380AM colleagues honored for excellence in Georgia broadcasting
ATLANTA - GeorgiaChron -- Legendary Atlanta radio personality Juandolyn Stokes, host of On Point with Juandolyn Stokes, and Shantelle "DJ Ms. Eclectic" Thompson, executive producer of the program, have been honored with two GABBY Awards from the Georgia Association of Broadcasters (GAB).
The GABBY Awards are among the state's most prestigious honors in radio and television, recognizing outstanding work in storytelling, production, innovation, and community impact. Presented annually by the Georgia Association of Broadcasters, the awards celebrate the best in broadcasting across Georgia's radio and television markets.
Stokes expressed her gratitude, saying:
"I'm honestly overwhelmed and incredibly grateful to be a two-time winner of these prestigious awards. Winning these awards mean so much—not just because it's an honor, but because radio has always been more than just a job to me. It's been a way to connect, to tell stories, report the news, to laugh, cry and share moments with people I may never meet, but somehow feel close to every day. To my producer—this is our win!"

Thompson added:
"I am deeply honored and humbled to receive two GABBY Awards. As a producer, helping shape the story, guiding the tone, and making sure everything comes together is so rewarding. This recognition affirms the importance of authenticity, value, and relatability that amplifies voices that give our audience a sense of hope and a plan of action. It's a blessing to do what you love on the airwaves and beyond the mic. Juandolyn and I make a great team!"
This recognition marks a significant milestone not only for the pair but also for WAOK's ongoing mission to serve as a trusted voice for Atlanta's communities.
