THIS WEEK on FemMagRadio with co-hosts Lynn Harris Ballen and Kiyana Williams :: FIRST …The Free Black Women’s Library – Los Angeles is a free, feminist pop-up library and book swap with black women writers at the center.
And today on the show we’re centering Black feminist / womanist history – so showcasing, uplifting, and amplifying the voices of black women across the diaspora through literature is a great place to start! We’ll hear from Asha Grant/Director, Cara Elise Taylor /Social media coordinator & Photographer and Desirée Taylor/ Event Producer.
AND … we’ll feature clips from a past interview remembering Aretha Franklin’s social justice legacy. Aretha used song – and the platform it provided her – as a way of advancing feminism and social activism in powerful and often overlooked ways.
PLUS … All about the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SOUND collection from the PACIFICA RADIO ARCHIVES – that includes the Black History Month and American Women’s History collections. And among those voices are remarkable black women writers like Alice Walker, June Jordan, and Toni Morrison, singers like Lena Horne, Billie Holiday and Miriam Makeba and activists like Rosa Parks … And how you can support Femininist Magazine on KPFK and get this remarkable collection as a Thank You Gift from us!
This week at 2 on KPFK. What Feminism Can Sound Like!
