Full Circle KPFA

(ICYMI) Here’s the Replay. Tonight’s Full Circle, Hosted by sentient shiloh b, AKA DJ Loh is part one of Rona Reflections, which includes six different queer voices: Phillip L. Hammack a sociologist, Jessica Tracy a psychotherapist, Victoria Heilweil a feminist artist, a cultural producer, Victorian Montaño an Indigi Queer interdisciplinary artist, and Nicole Gervacio a social justice media maker and dancer reflecting on queer resilience, revalations, and revolution. As well as what we need to bring forward into 2022. This queering of time and space provided by Ms. Rona and her cousins is nowhere near over (which will only occur once the entire world is vaccinated) and we must evolve.

COVID 19 instituted a global pause which led many to reexamine, rethink, and redefine relationships in most if not all aspects of living. And what the world needs is healing and transformation. If we reflect, remember and redefine what is possible based on socially just priorities we will shift and transform culture into a more democratic and inclusive society. We must remember these insights and use them to redesign social structures and systems emanating from a foundation of repair and care.

(ICYMI) Here's the Replay. Tonight's Full Circle, Hosted by Sentient Shiloh B, AKA DJ Loh is a soundtrack/mixtape inspired by and created from the main ideas in Bell Hooks' All About Love: New Visions Published In 2000. It is one of my favorite books of all time and was written by recently transitioned writer, scholar, thinker and cultural activist Bell Hooks. Rest in Power. And is the first book in her trilogy on love.

All About Love: New Visions. The lyrics in each of the songs I play tonight revolve around love as a verb and ask the question what would society and our relationships actually look like, sound like and be if we lived according to love? - If we designed systems from a foundation of love and behaved as if we cared more for people and health than property and greed –what Bell Hooks calls a “love ethic”, the world would look very different.

(ICYMI) On tonight's Full Circle Black History Month show we will look to the inspiration fostered by Black musicians. Many genres including Jazz, Blues, hip-hop were given birth from the souls of Black artists. Tonight our Apprentice Cadre chooses music that has been personally inspirational to them. We'll also here how to get your own copy of your talk from Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh recorded right here in Huichin aka Berkeley. miss m is your host Tonight.

(Late Post ICYMI) Last Friday’s Full Circle, graduate apprentice Theodora Adkins brought us a Black History lesson on Marcus Garvey. She shared her insight along with archival audio, commentary, some great music and an update on the movement for a Pardon of Marcus Garvey from president Joe Biden. All that on Full Circle on KPFA.

Tonight’s show is all about joyful expression, laughter in particular. First, we hear why people think it’s important to keep on laughing. We’ll introduce you to two renowned African American women comedians, Moms Mabley and Aya Deleon. Also we’ll hear clips from an original comedy show produced by Full Circle apprentices from 2011. Felix Lee reflects on animal emotions and laughter then Taishi & Irene share some of their own jokes and favorite Hari Kondabolu clips, a very funny conscious comedian. Finally, Full Circle producer and First Voice Graduate and co-host tonight, Joy Moore, shares her story-telling skills at the Women's Visionary Conference in Oakland, CA in 2019. All that and some music to help us be happy! We’re your hosts, Sharon Peterson, group 43, Drylongso Rising and Joy Moore, In La Kesh group 20 all that tonight on Full Circle.
