Mychal S. Massie is a syndicated op-ed columnist and former host of the top-rated talk show on the Rightalk Radio Network, "Straight Talk with Mychal Massie." He is a former self-employed business owner of 30-plus years. Mychal is a frequent inspirational / motivational speaker and a regularly featured guest on national and regional TV / talk-radio programs. The online version of his column is carried exclusively by WorldNetDaily.com and enjoys a loyal, supportive readership from around the world.

With regular appearances on Bill O'Reilly's "The Factor," Fox News, CNN's Paula Zahn Show, Philadelphia's "Sunday Live," C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," MSNBC's the Ron Insanna Show, the Emmy Award winning "It's Your Call," hosted by Lynn Doyle, NPR's Tavis Smiley Show, Judicial Watch, San Francisco's the Jeff Katz Show and New York's Regional News Network, Mychal has become one of America's most articulate and outspoken black conservative voices. He has successfully debated Rev. Al Sharpton and Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. His positions on a colorblind society, civil rights, educational reform, self sufficiency, individual responsibility, family, the judiciary, abortion, limited government, reparations, homeland security, immigration and war (both past and present) are forthright and unyielding. A provocative, outside the box, visionary thinker, he has been called the "black male Ann Coulter" by liberals who condemn him; and "George Will on steroids" by conservatives who love him.

In addition to having hosted his own top-rated show, Mychal has hosted regional and national talk shows, including Joseph Farah's "WorldNetDaily Radioactive" in the nation's capital, WWRL's Afternoon Drive in New York, the Rick Jenson show in Wilmington, Del., and WHP 580 Clear Channel Broadcasting in Harrisburg, Pa.

Mychal is a member of the National Center for Public Policy Research and national chairman of its affiliate think tank, The National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives – Project 21. In his official capacity with this public policy institute he has spoken at the U.S. Capitol, CPAC, participated in numerous press conferences on Capitol Hill, the National Press Club and has testified concerning property rights pursuant to the "Endangered Species Act" before the chairman of the House Committee on Resources. He has been a keynote speaker at rally's supporting our troops and the president, and rally's supporting conservative causes across the country.

A charter member of Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson's New Black Vanguard, Mychal holds degrees in education, business/real estate, theology and pastoral counseling. He began his writing career in 1999 shortly after becoming an editorial board member at a suburban Philadelphia newspaper. With two book manuscripts in process and a third being studied, we can expect him to make a strong debut on the literary scene in the next year.
