Our conversation today welcomes Shahid Mustafa and Tameika Hannah to talk about their new KTAL radio show, Black English Vernacular. They give us a peek into how they harness their gifts and skills in their creative process of producing a thoughtful and informative radio show. One of their objectives is to bring forward some of the perspectives of Black people that many listeners may not be aware of. The show brings focus to human history in general, and Black history that's gone unacknowledged in many of our social and academic systems. Their shows have addressed topics like cooperatives, music, literature, art, farming, community building, and our Indigenous people's history. Their recent focus has been the 50th anniversary of the birth of Hip-Hop; including its multi-dimensional influence upon American culture and cultures around the world. We talk about how cyber relationships and communication can distort our sense of reality and community, and how real-time, face to face communication with critical thinking, and genuine respect and compassion, brings us so much more opportunity for positive outcomes.
