She always had a passion for television. One of her heart desires was to be a Television Talk Show Host. Through constant prayer and her faithfulness to God, He answered her prayer and blessed her with her own television talk show, "Broken into Beautiful" that airs on WATC every Sunday night at 9pm on Comcast Channel 24. She is also a regular host for Atlanta Live on WATC. Marvelous Marissa was the first gospel radio host for IBNX Radio Network.
