I met and often had short conversations with Dhomonique when she was my then-fiancée’s neighbor in a building of lofts on 8th Street in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

Dhomonique was always very pleasant. She always had time to speak and conversate.

Love her calm personality.

Susan Hiland quit in 2017 and Ricks took over. Susan moved to another job. I saw her final broadcast. Her age is probably around 38 to 40 maybe older. Unsure.
