Mattingly Watson
Hi, I’m Mattingly Watson! I am a sophomore majoring in American Studies at Hillsdale College where I am blessed to be an Admissions Student Ambassador, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, and a host on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. I was born and raised in a small Arkansas town in the heart of the Bible Belt. Growing up in such an amazing place has given me the opportunity to learn from mentors, experience unconditional love, and give back to my community. Now, I am honored and blessed to be able to return this kind of love and guidance through the Fact of Life podcast. Our world is messed up. That’s something we can all agree on. Political conflicts and hatred tempt us to forget what we have in common- being created in the image of God- and listen the division Satan spews our way. It is my hope that we are able to bring light to a world so full of hate and remind everyone that we are all more alike than we think. I am conservative. I am a Christian. And I am a young woman. These are things the media tries to hide from you, and I am tired of letting them. Let’s band together to support one another and follow the Lord. I am so honored to go along on the journey with you!
