Street Soldiers Radio

Dr. Marshall chats with in-studio guests Ashanti Branch (EverForward Club) and Dr. Judy Chu (author of When Boys Become Boys) as they discuss the documentary, The Mask You Live In by Jennifer Siebel-Newsom & The Representation Project.  The issues of toxic masculinity, emotions, and more comes up as we tackle the issues of “boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity”.

Kharyshi Wiginton, the founder and Director of “Culture Keepers”. The mission of the South Africa Project is for the students to expand their awareness through cultural exchange, build on their sense of pride and self-esteem by participating in community service and grow their worldview through traveling and exposure to other languages. In July 2015, we took our 1st journey to South Africa with 11 students and 7 mentors to participate in this wonderful, highly successful, cultural exchange project, and in March 2017, we took our second group of youth and mentors to South Africa. During our 2nd trip, we almost tripled in size taking 27 youth (1 middle schooler, 23 high schoolers, and 3 college students) and 9 mentors.

Dr. Marshall and the Street Soldiers crew celebrate moms.

The youth of Operation Genesis report on their to trip to Ghana. In studio guests are Officer Jason Johnson of the San Francisco Police Dept., instructor Ms. Erica Walker, and the youth who had a life changing experience.

While conversations about implicit and explicit bias are growing law enforcement arenas, many people remain unfamiliar with its concepts and dynamics. This Sunday’s show will dive headlong into the topic of Bias and Policing and examine how one police department is tackling this problem.  It’s definitely a show worth listening to.
