The Power of the Black Press

Jamal Steele


























































The Black press has been a long-standing tradition of ensuring that our stories are told with the delicacy and authenticity that we deserve. In this current era of resistance we are in, this administration from a Federal and Statewide perspective is disrespecting, condemning, and outright ostracizing our stories and our presence in media spaces. How do we as organizers, organizations, and campaigns utilize the Black press to take our power back in this country? We bring in Dawn Montgomery from Black Press USA and Report For America alumnus Will Brown to discuss the Power of The Black Press on THIS EPISODE OF BLKFLA!

On this episode of BLKFLA, we begin a pivotal series for our podcast entitled "Allow Me To Introduce..." where we have honest, in depth conversations with candidates running in this year's election cycle on the State and municipal level, as we feel it's important to shine light on many of the candidates that may not get as much love on the mainstream cycle.

For our first episode of this new series, we decided to DIVE RIGHT IN AND PRESENT TO Y'ALL A CANDIDATE FOR THE HIGHEST SEAT IN THE STATE, so "Allow Me To Introduce" Dayna Marie Foster, Democratic candidate for THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA. As a teacher and public servant for over a decade, Dayna is the embodiment of true, grassroots organizing and campaign building in Florida.

Legislative Session is OVER in the state of Florida...

Or is it. I mean, Florida will ALWAYS be Florida, so we brought State Representative Michele Rayner and State Senator Shevrin Jones to help us make sense of it all. Florida has it's own State SAVE Act, yet we don't have a State budget for this year. Oh yeah, AND there's still this mess of MID DECADE REDISTRICTING!
