"The mission of
SOUAB is to provide an empowering space for women of Afrikan descent - to
assist them in finding their voices and speaking their truths, their
experiences and their perspectives to the world; to be a resource for the
communities from which we come; and to make a contribution to the global
movement for racial, economic, political and social justice
and peace"

"KEEPIN' IT
MOVIN'"
Greetings Listeners,
Supporters, Friends of Some of Us Are Brave. Yes, it's been a
lonnnggg time since we communicated with you. No, we have not been
restored to our previous 60 minute format @ KPFK. We met with Interim
Program Director Alan Minsky and found out that we had been lied to; that
as Black women we really are not respected @ KPFK, and that maybe,
when a new General Manager is hired, maybe we can have our
time restored, but it does not look promising.
Bleak outlooks are
nothing new to Black women - the ones who came before us persevered and so
will we.
So, we'll keep it moving.
And we'll keep you
posted.
Everybody needs a break,
especially from disrespect, so, in the meantime, we invite you to hang out
with us this weekend at the 2011 Pan African Film Festival in Culver
City. We, along with several other grassroots groups are Community
Collaborators on several films so come check us out!
All films will be shown @
the Culver Plaza Theaters, 9919 Washington Blvd., across from Sony Studios
and the Kirk Douglas Theater, in Culver City.
Unless specified
otherwise, all tickets for these films are $11 at the Culver Plaza Theaters
