Radio as a liberatory tool...

 

This is a show with a goal to address the sociopolitical issues relative to African people and our experiences, in ways that promote positivity, awareness, and pro-activity.  We (who host the show) are currently located in the U.S.; however, wherever we are on the globe we are all connected, and none of us will be free until Africa is free!

 

The discussions will be combined with positive and political music of various genres (jazz, funk, rock, soul...  and much more), as composed and performed by a long line of descendants- ancestors and present folks. We love to play music which advocates for a higher consciousness- spiritual, political, etc.. We aim to air alternatives to the individualism, materialism and single-issue solutions we are conditioned to advocate for.  We feature book highlights, guests who contribute to pro-activity in their respective communities and an opportunity for the listening community to become involved in conversations, by calling in. We are but one way to honor the liberatory process- we cannot do it alone!

Sigh. When we found out about the transition of Maurice White, we wrote this in between tears...  It's not often we shed many tears for famous people we do not know; however, Maurice White meant a lot to us.  Earth, Wind & Fire are one of the few bands to put us in a pl... Read more

Representation and Expression...

Airs at: Thu, 01/28/2016 at 8:00pm - 10:00pm
There has been much discussion lately around the ways systemically oppressed peoples are (not) recognized in media.  With that, there has been a constant debate regarding the issue of seeking validation from said media.  In what ways do we maintain cultural autonomy once th... Read more

Honoring the life and art of Natalie Cole...

Airs at: Thu, 01/14/2016 at 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Wow.  We have to say this took us by surprise.  While we acknowledge impermanence- that life is not promised; the thing that saddens us the most about this is that Ms. Natalie Cole was very much a survivor.  She was extremely open about her vulnerabilities and her mistakes ... Read more

Airs at: Thu, 12/24/2015 at 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Every year at this time we like to recognize the art of those who have travelled to the ancestors during the year...  It's not just a time to honor those who have gone on; it's also a good time to do even more self-reflection/examination of where we are in our own lives.  T... Read more
