• ... that Anna DeShawn started E3 Radio to help educate others about Black women she did not learn about in grade school?

These were women she hadn’t been taught about in any of her grade school studies, and she wanted other people to know about them. She thought, “I can do PSAs about these women and syndicate them to college radio stations, and then we can have a college radio network. That's how [E3 Radio] started.”

• ALT1: ... that Anna DeShawn was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame for her work celebrating "the overlooked and underrepresented"? Source: https://chicagolgbthalloffame.org/anna-deshawn/ She [DeShawn] was inspired to create a platform to center and celebrate the overlooked and underrepresented.
• ALT2: ... that Anna DeShawn said she fell in love with radio because she could "talk to thousands of people and make an impact while wearing sweatpants"? Source: https://chicagoreader.com/city-life/meet-anna-deshawn-of-e3-radio-and-the-qube/ She eventually found her niche when, as a student at Drake University, she landed an internship for the popular radio show Tom Joyner Morning Show. “I realized I could talk to thousands of people and make an impact while wearing sweatpants. I thought, ‘This is the life.’ And so I fell in love with radio.”

• All three hooks are acceptable, I prefer ALT0.
• Nominated one day after creation
• Long enough
• Well sourced, couldn't find any copyright violations
• CaptainAngus, it should be good to go. I personally prefer ALT0 because it gets right to the most interesting aspect. I'm personally not a fan of "a person said something" style hooks. And side note, while this isn't a DYK issue, you might also consider reformatting the "career and activism" section a little bit so it doesn't seem like a timeline.
