Feel Good Friday

There’s just one day of the week when everyone is allowed to feel good, break as many rules as you ever can with your voice as you sing your own version of Area on the Area Show with the one and only Double 09. She working alongside Area Mama, Sweet 17 and the ‘tush’ Tosyn Bucknor and their only mission is to keep making you feel good as you step into the weekend. The tradition for the last day of the week is to sing a song during the Area Show, and make a loud shout-out to loved ones after the Area Show. What an interesting combo for the beginning of the weekend.
