The first half of today’s show sees us discussing an incident that happened to one of our children. We discuss having the conversation about the n-word, how the innocence of Black youth seems to be shed long before it should be, and how to have the many facets of the conversation while dealing with the weight of the issue.
In the second half of today’s show, we discuss some of the recent news stories that had positive (or at least not negative) outcomes for those of us seeking social justice in this country.
Our Way Black History Fact is about Sister Rosetta Tharpe…the Godmother of Rock and Roll.

About Civic Cipher
Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward. This show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to engage directly with their communities as well as the general population. Self-determination is critical to securing a future free of oppressive systems, and Civic Cipher exists to facilitate discussions toward this end. Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.
