RACE TALKS® with Kimberly Y. Erwin on WGXC-90.7 FM
NOVEMBER RACE TALKS®
(& this fall on: The Intercultural Connect Channel)
LIVE on Tuesday, November 18th at 7 PM EST
Freedom Under Fire: Sharing What We Are Thankful for in Rhythm and Verse
? WGXC 90.7 FM & Streaming Online
In this episode, treat yourself to jazz that jumps and stirs the mind.
Host Kimberly Y. Erwin, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education and author of “There’s Only 1 Race—the Human One,” Says Me! A Children’s Book Ending Racism (second edition coming in 2026), brings her intercultural lens to this live conversation with Dr. Herman Beavers, her fellow UPenn colleague and celebrated poet-scholar.
In Freedom Under Fire: Sharing What We Are Thankful for in Rhythm and Verse, Kimberly and Dr. Beavers explore what it means to give thanks in a time when truth, history, and culture are under attack.
As an introduction to the evening’s conversation, Kimberly honors America’s Black cultural legacy with a reading from “Black Arts: My Mind is Burning,” written by her late uncle Americus Moses Kash, III—a 1960s poet and athlete whose collection The Black Bard: Book of Moses captures the unflinching voice of a Black man navigating White America.
Throughout the broadcast, expect poetry, jazz, and conversation that speak to resilience, artistry, and the ongoing fight for understanding. The TALK Term for the night, “Wokeness,” will challenge listeners to consider how awareness itself has become a political act—and what it really means to stay awake in times like these.
Dr. Beavers, whose teaching and poetry bridge the worlds of language, community, and resistance, joins Kimberly in revisiting the cultural rhythms that continue to shape African American identity—from the echoes of Jim Crow to the movements that define our present day.
So, this November, while many gather around tables of gratitude, Race Talks® gathers around truth. Because when freedom is under fire, being thankful for our history—and daring to tell it—is its own revolution.
? Race Talks® — Where Culture Meets Conversation.

iCAMP LIVE! @ SBE NYC 2025
Wednesday, May 7th
I enjoyed my 2nd visit to the SBE at the Javits Center, still very near to where I used to live in Manhattan. Wow! Interviews galore! And the Happy Hour experience where I spied Jordan, an author, there. She shared sentiments with me that made me tear up. The gratitude she showed me for helping her showcase her business and brand by interviewing her was why I started iCAMP. (Her interview here!). Click on Cierra's photo to hear her testimony.

So much so that I went to the one in LA right after.
