"Meschery was born as Tomislav Nikolayevich Meshcheryakov in Harbin, Manchukuo. His parents were Russian immigrants who fled from the October Revolution in 1917. The Meschery family was later relocated to a Japanese internment camp near Tokyo during World War II.

After the war, Meschery and his parents emigrated to the United States. It was also in this phase of his life where his father renamed the family "Meschery" due to the anti-Communist/anti-Soviet Red Scare under Joseph McCarthy, and Tomislav Nikolayevich was renamed Thomas Nicholas, which later was abbreviated to Tom. Living in San Francisco, California, Meschery attended Lowell High School.

After graduating in 1957, he went to Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga. Meschery helped Saint Mary's reach the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight in 1959. Two years later, he was chosen as a First Team All-American, and was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Year. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1961." -Wikipedia

Black Talk Sacramento #010: Sacramento Black Book Fair, Roshaun Davis, Daphne Burgess and Local News by Tony Harvey

We would like to welcome you to the monthly podcast of Black Talk Sacramento, held at Underground Books, 2814 35th Street, Sacramento, CA / (916) 737-3333

Black Talk Sacramento #010: Sacramento Black Book Fair, Roshaun Davis, Daphne Burgess and Local News

Poem: Evolution of the Black Clitoris
Poet: Dyvacat
Date: 7/30/2025
Venue: Our Place (1107 Firehouse Alley, Sacramento, CA 95814)
Series: Mahogany Urban Poetry Series
Project: Poetry On Blast

Note: Dyvacat is awesome. She did something like 6 poems that night, all memorized. And they all had length. This recording is not the best because I was far away, but I cleaned it up the best I could.

Poem: Evolution of the Black Clitoris by Dyvacat

Poem-Song: Sleeping Giants
Poet: Diamond
Date: 8/9/2025
Venue: All City Homes (3401 2nd Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95817)
Series: Mahogany Urban Poetry Series
Project: Poetry On Blast
Tags: Poetry, Sacramento

Note: I found Diamond very talented and surprisingly spiritual for her age. This song, although not a poem, fits this project because of the venue she performed at and her use of verse.

Sleeping Giants by Diamond

Series: Third Tuesday Poetry
Host: Ann Michaels
Poet: Cynthia Linville
Poem: Walk Walk
Venue: Twin Lotus Thai Restaurant (8345 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento)
Project: Poetry On Blast

Note: This poem is a fun one. During her set, which was full of serious subject matter, this one stood out to me because of the rhythm, tone, and images. I hope this brings a smile to your face, as it did for me when she delivered it. 

Bio from the flyer: Cynthia Linville's two books of collected poems, The Lost Thing and Out of Reach, are available from Cold River Press. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize as well as for a Best of the Net. A music aficionado with a theater background, Cynthia has received three mini-grants from Poets & Writers to perform her work in collaboration with musicians. She has taught in the English Department at Sacramento State University since 2000, and she served as Managing Editor of Convergence: an online journal of poetry and art from 2008 to 2018.

Poem: Walk Walk by Cynthia Linville

Date: 9/13/2025
Venue: All City Homes, 3401 2nd Ave., Sacramento, CA 
Series: Mahogany Urban Poetry Series
Host: J. Rowe
Project: Poetry On Blast

Feature: Shawn William
Poem: Splitting Image - My Son

Notes: I found his poetry delivery style interesting. He melted each poem into his talk, and you didn’t quite know when the poem started. It became this holistic presentation of unconditional love, forgiveness, and forbearance. “Spitting Image - My Son” is a great poem about a father finding himself through loving his son.

Guest: Frankie Edwards Lee

Frankie Edwards-Lee, a native of San Francisco, CA, studied business at City College of SF. She has always been passionate about home interior and fine art. This passion drove her to start her own business.
 
In 1992, Edwards –Lee started Life Expressions, specializing in custom framing, home accessories and fine art sales.  In it’s infancy, Life Expressions primarily showcased the work of her brother, artist Lumumba.  Later in 1999, a friend introduced her to framing business. Sometime later, she changed the name to Framed By Frankie.
 
Her client list reads like a who’s who of Sacramento. The Sacramento Convention & Visitor Bureau, Faith Fellowship Community Church, Center for Father and Families, Underground Books  and New Faze Development Company, just to  name a  few, have all purchased Frankie Edwards – Lee custom framing services.
 
In her spare time, she has served on Juneteetnth committee as Art Director. Framed by Frankie (Life Expressions) has donated various pieces of art to the Jon Johnson Foundation, State Farm Insurance, Nationwide Insurance, AKA Sorority and Millerizms.  Frankie Edwards – Lee was featured in the Sacramento Observer as one of the few Black women in the custom framing business.

THIRD SATURDAY DIVA MARKET

One of the most important things Diva Market founders, Frankie Edwards Lee and Daphne Burgess , strive to achieve with the market is bringing attention to local and small businesses.  While to some, this may not seem like such a huge deal, when given careful thought, this is a truly meaningful undertaking as it provides area consumers with the opportunity to keep more of their dollars circulating in the community in which they live.

NSAA 360 | Covid-19 Protest in Michigan

"Remembering Brother Esutosin Omowale Osunkoya (aka Charles Brunson) of Sacramento, he started the Black Panther Party (BPP) chapter in Sacramento in 1968.  Sending positive energy & much love to Margo and family.  Ashe!! Ashe!!" -Faye Wilson Kennedy 

Omowale was an amazing person always full of life and ready to dance or drum. To think he would pass from Covid-19 is heart breaking.

I was lucky enough to run sound during a Black Panther panel at The Brickhouse Art Gallery in Sacramento California part of an exhibit called "SAC PANTHERS 48 ART EXHIBITION" by Milton Bowens. So I thought I should record some of the discussion on a whim, I never did anything with the recording until now. This is the raw cut of the audio no edits. Enjoy.
