Join us on Thursdays at 3:00 pm on WAYO 104.3 for No Labels, Included: the show where we let the audience define themselves.
We focus on intersectional feminism and social justice in culture. Our intention is to create a space to talk about these things with inclusion in mind. We bring inspiration, education, validation, laughs, black girl magic, every week.
We are joined by Latrina Green, AKA CurlPeace, to chat about her youtube channel, blog and experiences in the online natural hair community. She also gives me some advice!
Take the free sign down! We chat about the "friends and family discount," the B2B and B2C "black tax," and practical ways we can be more supportive of our community as black business owners and customers.
With back to school season in swing, Jerri Ann graced us with tools and habits she's learned first hand and some research to help you arm your student for success this school year.
In light of the upcoming primary elections (Sept. 12), Delta Sigma Theta and the Police Accountability Board Organizing Committee (of Enough is Enough) hosted a community forum for this year's City Council Candidates to share their views on the proposed Accountability Board. Jerri attended the forum and reports back.
