About Us | The Burn Radio

Meet the Founder

Lutalo Mike Preson

Founder & Executive Director

The Burn Radio began with a simple observation: too many people in our communities were being left behind by the digital revolution — not because they lacked talent or ambition, but because nobody had shown them the door.

"I grew up watching talented people in my community miss opportunities simply because nobody had ever taught them how to use a computer, tell their story, or imagine what AI could do for them. I built The Burn Radio so no one else has to miss that chance."

What started as a small radio program sharing free digital tips soon grew into a full training initiative — reaching schools, community centers, and youth groups across the region. Today, The Burn Radio trains hundreds of learners each year in public communication, digital literacy, AI, and robotics.

The mission remains the same as day one: make the digital future accessible to everyone — not just the privileged few.

Our Story

You don’t grow when it’s easy. You grow when it burns.

The Burn Radio was founded on a simple belief: the digital future belongs to everyone — not just the privileged few. We bring free, accessible training in public communication, digital literacy, AI, and robotics to communities that are too often left behind.

Through radio, online learning, and hands-on workshops, we're building a generation of confident digital citizens who can create, communicate, and compete in a connected world.
