Street Soldiers Radio

Street Soldiers Radio is excited to celebrate the holidays with our Street Soldiers family. Our callers and students shared what keeps them doing right and what keeps them doing wrong. We are incredibly thankful for being able to have a safe space to have important conversations that impact our community.www.StayAliveAndFree.org

Street Soldiers Radio spent an evening catching up with our friend and poet Prentice Powell as he shared his journey as a Grammy nominated spoken word artist to his new project Pack Light while embracing all aspects of being a father and husband.

Street Soldiers Radio is thankful for our callers and community. The team shared their holiday plans, favorite dishes and learned what’s on the menu from everyone. We are grateful to be able to have a space where we can have important conversations as we find solutions to issues impacting our community. We might not all be related, but we are all family. 

We honored the elders in our lives who have shared their guidance, love and wisdom with us. We also introduce you to Jyarriah and Malcolm who are our Young Elders in the classroom. With heavy hearts, we dedicate our show to the beloved Coach John Beam.

We were honored to have Oakland’s Mayor Barbara Lee talk about the current issues and solutions of Oakland as she took calls from our audience who voiced their concerns.

Street Soldiers Radio discussed immigration, ICE and learned about our rights with Attorney Monica Oca Howell and Contra Costa Pulse multimedia journalist Denis Bravo Perez.

Street Soldiers Radio is thankful we are a safe place where you can talk and find solutions. We asked our callers to share the topics and issues they would like us to cover on our upcoming shows. We also caught up with Ashanti Branch and his upcoming event, the Global Young Men’s Conference 2025.

October 19, 2025 Street Soldiers Radio dove into the many layers of domestic violence. Callers shared their own experieneces as children and as those abused with our guests, therapists DeShannon Williamson and Ricka White who provided information on how to deal with and get help for this type of violence that affects many people around the world. 

Street Soldiers Radio asked our audience about what is concerning them these days and we received a wide range of answers. Parenting, new slang and the raised prices of groceries and more were covered by as people called in to share. www.StayAliveAndFree.org

From Incarcerated to Inspired and Alive & Free! We’re proud of Danniqua who started her journey with the Freedom Braiders class while in custody and today, she is Alive and Free! This is what transformation looks like when community, purpose, and love come together. The work continues, because a real friend would never lead you to danger only to freedom, healing, and hope. www.StayAliveAndFree.org
