Omari Salisbury Celebrates Trae Holiday and Details ‘The Big O Show’
On the final episode of “The Day with Trae” for the 2025 season, Converge founder Omari Salisbury joined his dear friend and host of the show Trae Holiday to discuss the show’s achievements and future ventures. Holiday opened the show by acknowledging the significant growth and the phenomenal job done by the audience in supporting “The Day With Trae,” emphasizing the importance of community media. Salisbury reflected on the show's commitment to community upliftment, providing an authentic space for compelling stories and holding up a mirror to the community's brilliance.
Salisbury, also known as Big O, shared personal updates, including recovering from hip surgery after experiencing years of excruciating pain that made walking difficult. Now post-operation, Salisbury is launching a new show in 2026 called “The Big O Show,” which will focus on fast-moving news headlines, interviews, and produced stories. Salisbury explained that a major part of the new show's mission will be to ramp up coverage of the state legislature and city hall, ensuring that the community has the vital news and information to make informed decisions.
Throughout the discussion, Salisbury celebrated Holiday, calling her "the people's champ" and "a marathon woman" for her commitment and ability to create a welcoming space that uplifts underdogs who need their voices heard. Holiday, in turn, praised Salisbury’s leadership and commitment, recalling his unbridled dedication to Converge Media. Holiday closed the season by thanking the audience, guests, partners, and the Converge team, and encouraging viewers to engage in self-reflective work as the year comes to a close.
