Wanda's Picks Radio Show, Wed., November 21, 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!
