I need us to have a heart to heart for a few minutes. And not just about the presidential election – what I need us to understand is our political power. We choose the presidential candidate. Lots of people vote, but when it comes down to the Democratic primary, who we choose is going to […]

In just a few moments I wanna talk with you about a huge election victory we had in New York on Tuesday, and how I think you can duplicate in your own city, but first, I wanna give you my raw thoughts on the first Democratic debate. I have to preface all of this with […]

Like many of you, this past weekend I saw a horrible video of police brutality that emerged out of Phoenix. I’ve read the police reports. Studied all of the videos. And I wanna unpack and explain why justice is so hard to come by in cases like this. Like you, I’ve called for those officers […]

You’ve probably heard me say this before, but when it comes to confronting injustice in the world, when it comes to tearing down the old systems and building new ones, we’re often way more outraged than we are organized.

Today I wanna unpack and explain how I chose a presidential candidate to support.

This election is too important, […]

Good morning everybody. I have several news stories to cover this morning so I’ll just jump right in. First and foremost, to all of listeners in Dayton, Ohio – and all of our listeners with family and friends in and around Dayton, Ohio – we see you. We are standing by to see how we […]

The City of Philadelphia, which I love, was founded all the way back in 1682. That’s 337 years ago. And in 337 years, the city has never elected a woman as sheriff – until Tuesday – when Philadelphia not only elected a Black woman as sheriff – she’s a grassroots activist – a leader in […]

If you’re Black and applying for a job in the mostly all-white town of Hoschton, Georgia, you may want to reconsider: The Mayor doesn’t want you.

I have a few issues I’d like to dig into this morning so I’ll just jump right in. After spending most of the past 6 months targeting and attacking Congresswoman Ilhan Omar – who is the only refugee in Congress, the first woman to ever wear a hijab in Congress, and the only Black woman […]
