Chicago Veteran On-Air Personality Irene 'Mamacita' Mojica is Back on the Air

Here's some of Irene's bio in her own words...

- Started doing Spanish TV on WCIU, Ch. 26 right out of high school while working in the office typing out daily program and commercial logs. Became head of the Continuity dept. (Of course, I was the ONLY one in the continuity dept, but hey it's a title...I'll take it!). Was partime and #1 on radio in Chicago Saturday mornings by age 21. Chicago's 1st Hispanic female on a non-spanish station...ok the ONLY Hispanic female in Chicago radio. Again...it's a title; I'll take it! lol.
- Was a blond all during highschool until I started in TV then radio...and yes I still maintain that the sun did it!
- Raised the Puerto Rican way by my mom, then I raised her. She turned out OK. This helped me to learn that if I wanted something I had to earn it so I lied about my age and started working at a clothing store downtown by my 14th birthday while going to school. This ghetto girl wanted the good stuff and all the extras then. Thanks Mama...I love u.
- Am a constant handwasher and workaholic but when it comes to beverages...not an alcholic. Falling down drunk in public don't look good on nobody! However, at home it's OK as long as you stay there and sit completely still.
- Hate when people lie and assume your stupid enough to believe it...I let them THINK I am and smile.
- LOVE to learn new things about everything!
- Know that sometimes you can be in a crowd and still be alone and that that's not always bad.
Congratulations, Irene.
