Please support quality Black Talk Radio!
Please support this cause in bringing back the Wendy Wright Black radio talk show. This show was reaching diverse audiences and moving many to become progressively astute. Her stance on accountability, personal responsibility, and critical thinking are paramount for the African American Community. Please, if you support quality Black dialogue with action based ideology; join me in signing this petition. We want Wendy back on a daily rotation!
Why is this important?
Radio host Wendy Wright of the ‘Wright on the Edge' talk show has recently been removed from the 4pm to 7pm line up. While Bernie McCain was on hiatus, Wendy occupied this WOL broadcast timeslot. In a very short time she transformed the typical dialogue coming from the station. I appreciate Black talk radio because it’s a seriously lacking market, but most of the current programming overwhelmingly focuses on racism which attracts older victimization mentalities. Of course racism is alive and well, rooted in the fabric of America, but 'Wright on the Edge' comes from an approach of empowerment. In addition to topics of racial injustice, she also tackles multiple forms of self determination, community advocacy, financial literacy, politics, spirituality, health, and so much more. With youthful energy she taps into the consciousness that reaches younger audiences. I appreciate what WOL currently offers but it can be expanded and diversified.
