Areva Martin - Celebrating a Ribbon Cutting & Reclaiming Black Land

Areva Martin - Celebrating a Ribbon Cutting & Reclaiming Black Land

As the Founder and CEO of the Special Needs Network, Areva Martin was recently joined by Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell and St. John’s Community Health for a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting of the Jacqueline Avant Children & Family Center. What was the inspiration and the journey like to make it all happen? Hundreds of Black and Mexican families were forcibly and illegally evicted by the City of Palm Springs, CA from their privately owned houses in the Section 14 neighborhood in the 1950s and 1960s. They were literally burned out of the area. Areva is working to remedy this for the families. We will get into this and so much more. Join us for this conversation. It promises to be incredible.

Trust Is A Double-Edged Sword: Trust Me with Jeff Meshel

Trust Is A Double-Edged Sword: Trust Me with Jeff Meshel

There are two reasons we don’t trust people: We don’t know them. We know them. Just ask Jeffrey Meshel. At the age of four, he was kidnapped. The next year, his parents divorced and he was raised by his alcoholic mom. As an adult, his marriage fell apart and his kids were turned against him by his ex-wife. Later, he was badly burned by a business partner that he labels a psychopath. He certainly has reasons not to trust others, especially when those closest to him violated his trust. But there is hope. Meshel took to heart the role trust plays in every aspect of our lives and penned a new book, Trust Is A Double-Edged Sword: Trust Me. “This book can empower the reader to ensure that he or she doesn’t fall prey to untrustworthy people, companies, or institutions,” says Meshel. Join us as we have this incredible conversation. Find out more about Jeff Meshel at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-meshel-59843a18/ Get the story behind the story.

Officer Kyle Lofstrom of RBPD & Redondo Rewind: What's going on?

Officer Kyle Lofstrom of RBPD & Redondo Rewind: What's going on?

Officer Lofstrom from Redondo Beach Police Department joins the show to talk about the recent guns found on campus at Redondo Union High School.

What information can the police department share with the public? What is their relationship with the school district and how does it benefit the community? Kyle breaks it down for us. We also chatted about the drug epidemic in the community.

Mariam Butler, resident and community volunteer, gives an update on things to be aware of at City Council. If you want to advocate for the students at RUHS, tap in for the info. And it was no surprise that Councilman Zein Obagi's guilty verdict and suspension from practicing law did not come up at the meeting.

The California State Bar found Redondo Beach City Councilman Zein Obagi, Jr., culpable of two acts of “moral turpitude” for failing to pay $515,000 to a former client after the settlement of a lawsuit. Judge Manjari Chawla recommended that Obagi’s law license be suspended for two years, and that he completes State Bar ethics education and complies with probation.

Why, you might ask did this not even come up at a city council meeting... It would be a good question to get answered.

Redondo Beach Rewind - Elected or Appointed City Attorney? Weigh In.

Redondo Beach Rewind - Elected or Appointed City Attorney? Weigh In.

On Tuesday, November 7th, the Redondo Beach City Council is once again trying to ram through having an appointed vs. elected attorney. Given both Mayor Bill Brand and City Councilman Nils Nehrenheim are soliciting residents for funds to pay their personal legal bills (weird and unsettling), they could theoretically appoint their personal attorney who is owed funds as a favor to reduce their legal debt.

If Redondo were to lose our elected attorney there is a risk we could lose Redondo’s prosecution attorney and we may default to the county’s prosecutor (George Gascon). This would impact Hermosa as well, as they have used our legal services. Manhattan Beach tried to do so but was denied by George Gascon. Finally, it is likely this will cost the city money we don’t have.

The City Council Meeting already promises to be a crazy meeting because Redondo Beach employees are protesting being underpaid. This situation does not make things any better. It would go a long way if you could: ~Submit an e-comment. The link is at the City of Redondo Beach, CA (granicusideas.com). The agenda item is P.1. 23-7127 ~Email City Council Eleanor.Manzano@redondo.org bill.brand@redondo.org nils.nehrenheim@redondo.org todd.loewenstein@redondo.org zein.obagi@redondo.org scott.behrendt@redondo.org paige.kaluderovic@redondo.org

Tune in for a discussion with Redondo Beach residents to help bring perspective to this important issues.

Be Human, Lead Human with Dr. Jennifer Nash

American Sirens - What you didn't know about the paramedics...

American Sirens - What you didn't know about the paramedics...

It's a work that reads like a novel. Hazzard relates how a group of African American visionaries, most of whom had been trapped in menial jobs, saw what health-policy experts did not: Pre-hospital care was scarce, disorganized, and the key to survival for common emergencies like stroke, heart attack, and diabetic crises. The urban healers’ reaction was bold, and effective, and shocked the city’s healthcare system. They doggedly obtained the training that enabled them to bring advanced cardiac life support and other technical care to all in Pittsburgh's Freedom House ambulance project, including the chronically underserved of their own neighborhoods. After their new discipline proved its value in saving lives, organized emergency care, like so many arenas in US medicine, excluded the Black men who invented it and effaced the history of what all Americans owe them, but this riveting page-turner brings these medical heroes long-delayed acclaim.  Check out this true story: American Sirens

When Black Panthers Prowled Amerika - Meet the Author, Dr. Alvin Pam

When Black Panthers Prowled Amerika - Meet the Author, Dr. Alvin Pam

Several generations before the Black Lives Matter movement took hold, there was a bigger, more controversial group fighting for civil rights and equality in America. A new book, When Black Panthers Prowled Amerika, offers a unique look at the Black Panthers Party through the eyes of an author who marched in the south in the 1960s under Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is historical fiction, but features mostly real figures from a tumultuous era, and meditates on race relations that offer insights into today’s society. The book has stirred controversy because the author is not a young Black woman, but rather an older white guy.  

In this book, Pam discusses:  

How history views the accomplishments of the Black Panther Party. 

What can be done to improve racial equality in the U.S. 

Why racial relations are still terse, half a century after the Black Panthers were dismantled.

A new perspective on J. Edgar Hoover’s role in suppressing the Panthers. 

Why several publishers refused to publish Pam’s book. 

Who gets to tell the story of the Black Panthers?
