"Ms. McGhee, who went on to become WVON’s news director as well as a talk-show host, died Tuesday of ovarian cancer at the Columbia, Mo., home of her brother, Ivan McGhee. She was 55. In addition to her career as a broadcaster, Ms. McGhee also was a playwright. Her work grew out of her concern about the high rate of HIV/AIDS among black women and the success of “The Vagina Monologues,” based on women’s personal stories about their sexuality. Ms. McGhee called her production “The PocketBook Monologues,” for the delicate reference for intimate parts used among some older African-American women. The play was dubbed “The Vagina Monologues with Soul.”"
