Beginning At The End

Writer Soni Brown chronicles her journey from Jamaica to New York to Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Now, she wonders if she feels like Las Vegas is really her home and reflects on the tradition of Black people who sought liberation through migration. BMI Shearing Fellow Natasha Tarpley grapples with the idea that violence and armed self-defense are a necessity to create a safe community for Black People. In this piece, she speaks to her neighbor Bernadette in the South side of Chicago, an older Black woman who happens to be an avid gun owner, reflects on the Black towns of the past, and imagines a future where Black people are safe.

Black Mountains first radio show is a testament to how good all their content is. I loved hearing Baca say nothing but truth, “writers are busy trying to please editors who are 90% white. We have to teach our kids to win the approval of their own heart. You don’t need some editor in New York to give you approval, you know you lived your life right.” Excited to hear what other content Black Mountain has to put out.
Great

This is the kind of radio that Las Vegas deserves: Thoughtful narration set against lush audio, challenging questions (I can’t stop thinking about Soni’s piece on Native land), & stories that tease out new ways of looking at our city. Bravo!
