Join us on Thursdays at 3:00 pm on WAYO 104.3 for No Labels, Included: the show where we let the audience define themselves.
We focus on intersectional feminism and social justice in culture. Our intention is to create a space to talk about these things with inclusion in mind. We bring inspiration, education, validation, laughs, black girl magic, every week.
What does girl code mean to you? We talk about our personal experiences with our girlfriends, and give our take on "girl code" and how to be intentional and empowering in your friendships.
We interview plus size model Leona Mack and cover everything from what it's like to start a modeling career from scratch, and her best and worst experiences in the industry so far, to makeup products, her opinions on the term "plus sized" itself and a lot more.
How did the 2016 election affect us, really? Dr. Ronke Tapp joins us in the studio to bring us awareness of where stress manifests in the body, how it plays out in our post election reactions, and how we alleviate it in healthy, positive ways.
Rochester activist, author, and YouTube series and radio show host Shermeeka Mason joins us in the studio to tell us about her creative work, and give a reading from her book The One Taken From the Sea of Stars.
In this extra-long 90 minute edition, Melanie Funchess returns to talk about the importance of storytelling in connecting with our past, acknowledging our strengths and healing from intergenerational trauma. The conversation covers everything from biology, history, psychology and relationships to Melanie's college days and VERY STRONG feelings on HBCU's...listen in!
Marijuana legislation is on the ballot in 9 states on election day, and this could have major implications for the movement toward its legalization in this country. So, what happens if marijuana becomes legal? We discuss some of the issues surrounding access to legal marijuana, with the help of disability rights advocate Luticha Doucette.
Luticha Doucette, disability rights advocate and expert, returns to help us expand on the issues surrounding low wages for home health aids and the ripple affect this has on our lives--and especially for many women of color and people with disabilities. We also discuss a bill introduced by our New York Senator Chuck Schumer that will impact how and where people who need long term support live. If you know anyone who needs long term care, or think you may need it in the future--this affects you.
Dr. Ronke Tapp joins us to talk about her path in the mental health field, her role as "Sistah Doctor" and culturally specific mental health care practices. A rich conversation with a local resource in Rochester, NY.
Who do you need in your #squad? We talk about the concept of being lonely at the top, specifically for women of color as they climb the career/education ladder. We talk about our experiences with friendship and special guests Daniel and Blessing join us and offer their view.
Media coverage of the first 2016 presidential debates overshadowed a lot of other important stories last week. What news did you miss?
