The Power of the Black Press

Jamal Steele

The Black press has been a long-standing tradition of ensuring that our stories are told with the delicacy and authenticity that we deserve. In this current era of resistance we are in, this administration from a Federal and Statewide perspective is disrespecting, condemning, and outright ostracizing our stories and our presence in media spaces. How do we as organizers, organizations, and campaigns utilize the Black press to take our power back in this country? We bring in Dawn Montgomery from Black Press USA and Report For America alumnus Will Brown to discuss the Power of The Black Press on THIS EPISODE OF BLKFLA!Follow Dawn Montgomery at @_dawnmontgomery - IG and TwitterFollow Will Brown at @wwbrown19 - IG

Legislative Session is OVER in the state of Florida...Or is it. I mean, Florida will ALWAYS be Florida, so we brought State Representative Michele Rayner and State Senator Shevrin Jones to help us make sense of it all. Florida has it's own State SAVE Act, yet we don't have a State budget for this year. Oh yeah, AND there's still this mess of MID DECADE REDISTRICTING! Join Jamal STEELE, Rhyane Wagner, and Chanae Jackson as they host the new episode of BLKFLA NOW!

All Politics Are Local

Jamal Steele

On this episode of BLKFLA: The Podcast, our hosts Jamal STEELE and Rhyane Wagner dig deep into the importance of local and municipal politics with Sean Shaw, who ran for Hillsborough County Commission in 2024, and newly re-elected Commissioner Shan Rose, District 5 of the City of Orlando, FL. It was an amazing time as we dive deep into why your city council, county commission, and many other municipal areas of government are important for the care of your community AND for Black people to win in our communities across the state. It's BLKFLA! LET'S GET INTO IT.

State of Emergency

Jamal Steele, Broadway Louie, Rhyane Wagner, Michele K. Rayner

We are in the middle of the longest government shutdown this country has experienced, which has caused 42 million Americans to lose SNAP benefits, which includes 3.5 million Floridians without access to funds for FOOD. Instead, our state Legislature wants to use this opportunity to possibly gerrymander our already egregious congressional map to gain an even more unfair advantage for this administration to complete enacting Project 2025 into law. And OH YEAH... THE GREATEST SOUL SINGER OF THE MODERN ERA HAS BECOME AN ANCESTOR IN THE MIDST OF THE WORLD SLOWLY BURNING. So, our hosts Jamal STEELE and Natasha Sutherland called our friends Rhyane Wagner, Senior Policy Manager of Black Voters Matter, music artist and host of On The Ave Podcast, Broadway Louie, and State Representative Michele K. Rayner to discuss Mid decade redistricting in Florida, the Government Shutdown and it's implications on SNAP benefits being cut, and the untimely passing of Michael Eugene Archer, better known to the Soul music culture as D'Angelo.

Jesus Is Blk

Jamal Steele, Anthony Davis, Tyler Burns

It's THE RETURN of BLKFLA! Before we dig deep into our political bag, we have to set the atmosphere right. Pastor Anthony Davis and Pastor G Tyler Burns join us for an in depth conversation on how the destructive force of using Christ as a weapon of White supremacy is damaging our country and what we can do to fight back to show how Jesus is Black, not just in person, but in movement. It's BLKFLA!!!
