    Who is Annette Hankerson

    I'm a Mother of 3 daughters, a Grandmother of 6 & a Great Grandmother of 1.

    I have a host of Bonus Grandchildren. I love Spreading Love and information to all that will listen.

    I wasn't the kind of young person that loved school. I felt I was only going to College to please my parents and follow

    in their footsteps. I knew I wanted to be my own Boss. I did'nt like to be told what to do.

    Although my parents told us to go to school, get good grades to get a good JOB, just didn't seem like the only way.

    I started a family pretty early in life. But, that didn't stop me from wanting more. I had several businesses, none of which made

    me wealthy.

    Fast forward, I've learned that you must have the right mindset in order to be successful, along with reading the right books.

    I will not limit myself to teaching others  how to NOT give up on themselves.

    I'm a very transparent and humble Women of God.

757 is just different!

I enjoyed this podcast and the interesting guests featured. It’s awesome to rep for your hometown but the people from 757 are just different! Love being taken on this journey! Great conversations and show flow!

Smooth, You'll Love It!

I once lived in the Hampton roads area but at that point in my life, I was a knucklehead thinking that I knew it all back then. 757 Renaissance Man helps to fill the knowledge that I missed out and gives my ignorant self a second chance at being able to properly appreciate the Hampton Roads area for what it truly was and is today. Shawn Connors does a great job of bringing exciting and engaging guests that everyone listening can relate to, check out and have a great time!
