βπ»βπΌβπ½βπΎβπΏππΆ This week in recognition of Black Lives Matter, Night Light Radio continues to use this platform to give space to Black musicians' voices.
To pump us up, this week includes a lot of uncensored rap music, as well as variety like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Maya Angelou, and more. We wrap up with a piano track of Young Gifted and Black by Donny Hathaway.
As white person reckoning with my own white privilege and complicity in institutional racism, I am continuing to learn and take impactful actions. I look forward to continuing to share and staying accountable, for the long haul, and deepening my activism and strength on all levels.
I'm grateful for music as a path to more learning, for lighting up the fire of activism in my heart, and for being so damn FUN even in times of shelter-in-place!
