Wanda's Picks Radio Show, Friday, March 12, 2021

 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! 

1. Zakiyyah G.E. Capehart joins us to celebrate her new book: Ghana on My Mind with special guest, Bryant Bolling. 

2. Christine Joy Amagn Ferrer (a.k.a. Tine) joins us to talk about "The Divine Coloring Book."
