Janine Davis is an 18-year veteran of the professional broadcasting industry and currently serves as Producer/Co Host of Charlotte’s #1 local urban radio morning show No Limit Larry and the Morning Maddhouse heard each weekday morning on WPEG-FM.

Active in the community, Janine started Girl Talk Foundation, Inc. in 2003 after visiting several middle and high schools, where girls opened up to her with their issues. Janine organized an all-girls rap session later that year to focus on the needs of teen girls—nearly 200 girls attended.

Janine took the rap sessions a bit further to start an organization targeted specifically at building self-esteem and teaching leadership skills in young girls. Since starting Girl Talk, the program has served nearly 2,000 girls. 

Janine has been named by The Charlotte Observers’ Eye Magazine as ‘One to Watch in 2008'.
