Wanda's Picks Radio Show, Friday, Sept. 28, 2018

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!


8 AM LSPC@ 40; AOUON @15 Gala, Wed., Oct. 3, 6-9 pm prisonerswithchildren.org

Ms. Quarles hosts Prop 47 events and provides pro-bono post-conviction relief which includes Prop 47.  Ms. Quarles is a woman that has been incarcerated as a youth, and as an adult.
