To keep my thoughts in order and my to-do lists remotely manageable I create arrays of sticky notes on my desk and wall. New idea? Stick note! Someone I want to meet with? Sticky Note! Need to remember to pay a parking ticket? Write it on a sticky note. Over the course of the last year, I have wanted to create a podcast that allowed me to dive deep into conversations with interesting people.. I wanted to have real conversations that were more than sound bites or regurgitated talking points about fluffy topics. My hope is that each episode feels like old friends catching up. Revealing great information but also humanity, struggle, victory, joy, grief, and possibly, a flicker of transcendence. I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do creating them. Join me here every Saturday as I pull a new sticky note off my desk.

    Alvin Hill -"Gone Till November"

    Gone Till November — Sticky Note Conversations with Erika Washington As the midterm elections approach, host Erika Washington welcomes back fan-favorite guest Alvin Hill for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation about politics, identity, and the state of Black America. Why don't we spend more time engaging with Black men in the political space? Alvin doesn't hold back — sharing his perspective on voting blue as an independent, the cult-like dynamics of Trump's following, why fear and money keep politicians in line, and what Michigan's Senate race means for the future of the Democratic Party. The conversation goes deep: from the erasure of Black history in textbooks and the case for reparations, to the fragmented state of Black unity, the impact of social media on leadership, and who bears the responsibility of protecting Black women. It's honest, provocative, and at times uncomfortable — exactly what a Sticky Note Conversation should be.

    Revisited Claire Thomas - "You Don't Own Me"

    With the 2026 midterm elections just weeks away, host Erika Washington revisits a powerful conversation from earlier this season with former Nevada Assemblywoman Claire Thomas (District 17). Claire shares her journey from Brooklyn to Las Vegas by way of the U.S. Air Force, her experiences with racism and sexism in the military, and how she unexpectedly stepped into public office after the passing of Assemblyman Tyrone Thompson. She holds nothing back — from being called a "token" by a commanding officer, to being one of only four legislators to vote against school expulsion bills AB 285 and AB 330, to her thoughts on the current state of the Nevada Democratic Party and what real leadership should look like. This is a conversation about community, courage, and the cost of standing up when everyone else sits down.

    Scott Black - "Born and Raised"

    With midterm election season in full swing, host Erika Washington sits down with North Las Vegas Mayor Pro Tem Scott Black, who is running to become the city's next mayor. Born and raised in southern Nevada, Black shares his vision for a "complete city" — one where residents can live, work, play, go to school, and thrive without ever leaving North Las Vegas. From his fourth-grade book project titled How Billy Became Mayor to nine years on the city council, Black traces his leadership journey and makes the case for why local government matters more than most people realize. The conversation covers economic diversification beyond gaming, the transformation of the old Texas Station site into Hilo Park, innovative education partnerships with CCSD, approaches to homelessness and affordable housing, the data center debate, small business support, and what it means to govern in a nonpartisan seat.

    Michale Lyle - "Kamala, Joe and Donald: What Can Possibly Happen Next"

    This week on Sticky Note Conversations, we're revisiting our conversation with award-winning journalist Michael Lyle — a discussion that feels more urgent than ever. As press freedom faces unprecedented challenges, Erika and Michael dig into what it really means to be a truth-seeker in today's America. From covering the October 1 mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip to interviewing people experiencing homelessness in 115-degree heat, Michael pulls back the curtain on the realities of journalism that movies never show — the hours of public records requests, the door-knocking anxiety, and the emotional weight of asking people in their hardest moments to tell their stories. They also dive deep into housing policy as a policy choice, why poverty is intentional, the book Invisible Child by Andrea Elliott, why AI will never replace human journalists, and what democracy really means (and whether we actually have it). Plus: dream interview bucket lists, the difference between politics and policy, and why Michael will never stop calling it Twitter.

    Kelly Garrett - "Let 'Em Know"

    Kelly Garrett is back on Sticky Note Conversations for a second time, and she's not holding back. The former mayor of Lathrup Village and current mayor pro tem is now running for the Michigan House of Representatives in District 18 — and she's already cleared the primary. In this episode, Kelly sits down with host Erika Washington to talk about what drove her to run for state office after 15 years in local government, the 40–50% water bill increase devastating residents in her community, and what she'd prioritize first in Lansing: paid leave, healthcare access, and carrying forward the work of Mothering Justice. They also dig into the fractures within the Democratic Party — moderates vs. progressives, the Michigan Senate race fallout, why Black women are consistently asked to deliver votes but rarely given a seat at the top of the ticket, and whether the party truly understands what its base wants. Plus: Kelly's secret book club she's never attended, her guilty pleasure reality TV picks, the Mel Robbins "Let Them" theory, and what joy and freedom look like right now.

    Gerald Mayes Sr. - "Mind Ya Business"

    This week on Sticky Note Conversations, Erika Washington sits down with Gerald Mayes, Executive Director of NAACP Las Vegas Branch #1111. From growing up on the west side of Las Vegas to serving in the Marines and becoming a father at 21, Gerald shares how his personal journey shapes his approach to community leadership. They discuss rethinking Black parenting for the next generation, the NAACP's vision for bridging the gap between civil rights legacy and youth engagement, and why holding elected officials accountable requires more than just showing up to vote. Gerald breaks down Nevada's Ballot Questions 6 and 7, the importance of civic education, and what it means to build political power that reflects the full spectrum of Black life in Las Vegas — from 89106 to the affluent neighborhoods alike. Plus, details on the upcoming NAACP Food & Fun Gala luncheon and Black Campaign School with Jessica Byrd.
