(Publicity Photo)

When actor and author, Daniel Beaty, was growing up in Dayton, he wasn’t fully aware that his father was addicted to heroin, and in and out of jail because of it. That realization came later in Daniel’s childhood, but it didn’t stop him from becoming an award-winning author, actor, and educator. 

Beaty returns to Dayton, tonight, February 21, 2014, for a public event to discuss his upcoming motivational memoir, Transforming Pain to Power: Unlock Your Unlimited Potential (Berkley, Penguin-Random House). 

In this WYSO Weekend preview, Daniel shares his story about growing up, and his message of personal empowerment. 

Jerry began volunteering at WYSO in 1991 and hosting Sunday night's Alpha Rhythms in 1992. He joined the YSO staff in 2007 as Morning Edition Host, then All Things Considered. He's hosted Sunday morning's WYSO Weekend since 2008 and produced several radio dramas and specials . In 2009 Jerry received the Best Feature award from Public Radio News Directors Inc., and was named the 2023 winner of the Ohio Associated Press Media Editors Best Anchor/News Host award. His current, heart-felt projects include the occasional series Bulletin Board Diaries, which focuses on local, old-school advertisers and small business owners. He has also returned as the co-host Alpha Rhythms.
