    What's been going on with Nonks? An entertaining dialogue with Orlando about recent projects

    Eclecticism, esoteric, hard to grasp and hold.  Those are some of the best adjectives that describe art or artists approach at self-expression that operates outside of the boundaries of the expected.  We have the pleasure of reengaging Orlando Wilkerson, one of the members of the group Nonks, about recent projects that have kept him and the group busy.

    Stephon's House: An in-depth conversation with Stevante Clark about his work to keep his brother, Stephon Clark's, legacy alive

    In this eye-opening episode, we have a full-throttled conversation with Stevante Clark, the stalwart brother of Stephon Clark, who was murdered by two members of the Sacramento Police Department on the night of March 18, 2018.  That incident led to the convulsions of protest movements throughout California, the United States, and some other places in the world.  In March 2019, the district attorney made the ill-fated decision to not charge the two police officers with any crimes as being committed.  Stevante discusses the work he has done to keep his brother's memory alive, as well as the effort to keep alive the memory of other black and brown victims who have been killed by the police.

    Love as an ingredient, how do cooks define it.

    What is that special ingredient, "love",  with which all ethnic cooks spice their dishes?  In this episode I take a sample of cooks along the ethnic spectrum and ask them to define and describe that seemingly intangible ingredient "love" that all ethnic cooks swear by.  Ask the question to anyone who is proud of a dish that leaves their kitchen--whether commercial or residential--and most respondents say they prepared something with "love."  I'm looking for that love ingredient and just how cooks blend such into the dishes that speak that ingredient.

    Making space at the table for leadership: Kaleemah Muttaqi

    Leadership requires assertiveness, especially when creating a space at the table where one is qualified to sit and speak-out.  I speak with an upcoming Human Rights lawyer, just starting her adventure in studies toward that objective, and what frames her social, political, and theological worldview.  As human rights is a global enterprise, the conversation transcends the mere cosmopolitan context of the day-to-day, focusing on what connects people as we strive for equal justice.
