Jerk chicken, dancehall and hydroponic farming season this week’s episode of Black Siren Radio. We travel from the Jamaican Chinese shops to meditate on the impact of World War II on reggae sound systems to an aquaponic farm/MakerSpace in East New York fighting the food apartheid and COVID-19 at the same damn time. Vibe with Maurice, Amiri and Khadijah for some wartime radio.

Black Siren Radio is a place to convene. It’s your aunties in the kitchen. It’s your Saturday morning barbershop appointment. It’s a resistance that accepts that if the future is to belong to us, we have to take it. 

Co-hosts J. Khadijah Abdurahman (We Be Imagining), Maurice Ivy, and Amiri Tulloch (WKCR) assemble as a multi-generational team to curate a lens that engages specialists in their fields by collecting front-line (wartime) news and keeping a beat on the culture of NYC and beyond. More than anything, Black Siren Radio is a place for us to assemble under the radar, and really be heard. 

Tune in Mondays to WKCR from 9-10 pm ET (wkcr.org) for a mood board of music interwoven with stories and exclusive interviews stretching a little further than your shelter-in-place hideaway. Reach out and join the movement.
