Delamar Arias,
well-loved radio dj is back for Str8 Up with Delamar, an online talk show
produced by award-winning website, the 8list.ph.
8List is a
dynamic website known for making lists that resonate with Filipino millennials.
With a pulse on the Pinoy, it has consistently published content that is always
informative, enlightening, yet entertaining. The website known for viral
stories reached out to Delamar, coaxing her out of retirement because she is
undoubtedly someone Filipinos listen to and admire.
Str8 Up with
Delamar is her first solo program after she bid goodbye to a radio career that
spanned more than 2 decades. She was a mainstay for the award-winning radio
show The Morning Rush on RX93.1.
Although the decision was not easy, the needs of her growing family came first.
As a wife to BPO
executive Tyler Ashby and a mother to two beautiful boys and a new-born baby
daughter, Delamar says, “I wanted to spend more time with my family, especially
my three children who need attention from their mom at this early stage in
their lives.”
But after a year
as a stay at home mom, she felt that she still had a lot of things to say. She
knew that with her most important role now as a mom, her world had changed, and
figured she needed a different platform to have a different kind of
conversation with the public. “Everyone’s on the internet now and it’s such a
great place to engage with people. Here, I could collaborate with a team and
create content that can really open people’s minds. Or at least entertain
them.” Whatever the conversation is about, she promises the show will always
present something new or different.
Str8 Up provides
Delamar a digital platform to tell her experiences and express her unique
opinions to educate in a clear and fun way. With her different perspective on
relevant topics ranging from politics, relationships, and everything in between,
which she will be delivering straight up. With Delamar, Str8 Up aims to be a voice of
discovery, striving to talk about important issues both old and new with
well-thought-out arguments backed by research -- a refreshing break from the
usual fare online.
The first of the
series to be aired will be all about comfort zones which Delamar is all too
familiar with. Transitioning from radio to video is not an easy feat but this
is where Delamar shares how she grew in doing so. She also encourages other
people to do the same -- get out of their comfort zones and learn something new,
every week by watching her show on the 8list Facebook page, and then
participating in a Live Chat right after the video.
Like the 8list
Facebook page so you can watch Str8 Up every Wednesday at 12 noon beginning
June 21 and catch Delamar on her live FB video chat following every episode. Check
