The First Voice, Highlighting Our Personal Stories

HOSTS TAIYE ROBINSON AND JILL MONTGOMERY BRING YOU SOME OF THE BEST PIECES THAT OUR FIRST VOICE GRADUATES HAVE PRODUCED.

THE PIECES WILL INCLUDE: PEOPLE REFLECTING ON THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES DEALING WITH RACISM, IMMIGRATION AND IDENTITY. AUTHOR LUIS RODRIGUEZ JOINS RAINJITA GEESLER TO TALK ABOUT HOW HIS LIFE WAS TRANSFORMED FROM GANG DAYS TO HEALING THROUGH EXPRESSION. WE’LL HEAR FROM DAY LABORERS AND THEIR STRUGGLES TO OVERCOME RACE AND CLASS BARRIERS, AND EAST OAKLAND FOLKS WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS AND THE DIFFICULTIES THEY HAVE IN FINDING WORK. AND FINALLY WE WILL BRING YOU A RADIO COMEDY SPOOF CALLED "POOL BOY". PLUS music from First Voice’s monthly live performance series
