Women & Politics : Free Press with Collette Watson and April Coleman
Today our subject is free press and how Black media is demanding change from embedded colonialism and anti-blackness in media; how the presence of local journalism has been overtaken by mass media and conservative views; and what reparations in media would look like.
Our guests today are: Collette Watson, Vice President of Cultural Strategy at FreePress.Net. Collette helps guide narrative change, community partnerships and strategic communications, working with artists, media-makers, creatives and advocates to shift power toward a just future media system.

Women & Politics – One Mic – Many Voices
Today Sheri and Carol, along with other radio producers: Andee Arches and Varsha N share their recent presentation on One Mic Many Voices at the NFCB conference.
Lack of diversity in gender, identity, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic range have long been part of media. Even with the advent of independent community radio, most voices are white, male, and middle class. How can women and non-binary folks intentionally diversify the airwaves? The collective One Mic, Many Voices started to bring diverse voices to community radio through intentional recruitment, training, and facilitation of production. Learn more in this session about their local engagement efforts.
