KTCZ-FM (Cities 97.1) Minneapolis taps Naima to join "Brian Oake in the Morning," weekdays from 6-10am, effective immediately. Naima joins the iHeartMedia Hot AC from Radio 1 in the United Arab Emirates, where she most recently served as morning host. Prior to that, Namia worked at Gulf news as a Digital Content Editor for its radio stations and as a Production Manager at Swerve Entertainment both in Dubai. She began her career at Cities 97.1 in 2012 as a board-op and parttime host, before moving to nights.

"It's always great when I can bring back a prior employee who our audience loved," said Cities 97.1 Program Director Rich Davis. "Naima's infectious energy both on and off the air and her unique accent make her instantly recognizable. She's the perfect talent to help anchor our Uniquely Twin Cities music mix along with the one and only Brian Oake."

"I'm ecstatic to be rejoining Cities 97.1 and returning home to where it all started for me. Plus, I'm beyond chuffed to be partnering with Brian Oake to wake up the Twin Cities. Massive thank to Rich Davis and the Twin Cities management team for welcoming this weird Londoner back into the fold once again," added Naima.
