Morning Shift brings another installment of our summer series “The Movie That Made Me”. A guest comes on and talks about the film that had the biggest impact on their life.

Author Luvvie Ajayi talked about how she was influenced by the film “The Color Purple.” Meteorologist Jon Davis said moving from a farm to Chicago as a kid felt a lot like Dorothy’s journey from Kansas to Oz. And health coach Rochelle Trotter shared the lessons she learned from the Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

In this installment, Morning Shift talks to Tribble, a stand-up comedian and midday host on our sister station Vocalo 91.1FM, about the film “Coming To America.”
