Street Soldiers Radio

We tackled the tough topic of human trafficking with MISSSEY, Redemption House of the Bay Area and Love Never Fails. 

Celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We aired our first show for 2026 which featured our callers and their own hopes and goals for 2026. Our second hour featured our Kwanzaa celebration which helped bring our community together at Alive & Free headquarters. The classroom is truly a special place and we are happy we could fit so many people into it as we shared our talents and learned about the 7 principles of Kwanzaa and the meaning of The Day of Meditation.

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.
