The name of the show was not disclosed.
AJ said she prayed about it, hoped, prepared, and waited but when the time came for her to get that opportunity, it passed her by.
Light at the end of the tunnel

A year later, she was randomly asked to sit in for someone who was doing the morning show for a month.
Dreams do come true
Two weeks into hosting the show, AJ revealed, the ratings of the show shot up and after a month, she was asked to host the show full-time.
"That position as a mid-morning host was exactly what I had prayed for 3 years prior", AJ intimated.
Miss Sarpong added that not only did she finally occupy her dream job position, she also ended up becoming the most listened to mid-morning show within a year according to the ratings.
