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!
