Seun Kuti on his Father Fela's Legacy, Matriarchy in His Family, What it Means to be a Pan-African Revolutionary, Racism in North Africa, and More. * 3, 2, 1… Live from the iconic Apollo Theater in Harlem, our next storyteller hails from Lagos, Nigeria. Seun Kuti is an artist and the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. He has spent most of his life preserving and extending his father's political and musical legacy as the leader of his father's former band, Egypt 80. Since his father's passing, Seun has revived The Movement of the People. M.O.P is a Nigerian left-wing pan-African political movement started by Fela and thanks to Seun's grassroots efforts, it's been making a come back.  We sat down at the Apollo Theater shortly before he and his band perform their show “Africa Now!” In this episode, we talk about how Fela's legacy has been misinterpreted and celebrated, the role of matriarchy in the Kuti family and how this was the foundation of their anti-colonial work. We dig into the pan-African revolution, the trap of being a rebel without a cause, addressing North African racism and more. PS: Remember the artist Mumu Fresh, who scored our “REP” investigation? She has some questions for Seun, artist to artist, and so we passed those along too.  Welcome back to Podcast Noor. * Transcripts + Listening: ⁠⁠www.ays.media/podcastnoor/seunkuti⁠ *

The sonically innovative harpist, Brandee Younger, is revolutionizing the harp for the digital era. Over the past fifteen years, she has worked relentlessly to stretch boundaries and limitations for harpists.  In 2022, she made history by becoming the first black woman to be nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition. That same year, she was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Ever-expanding as an artist, she has worked with cultural icons including Common, Lauryn Hill, John Legend, and Moses Sumney.   Her current album, Brand New Life, builds on her already rich oeuvre and cements the harp's place in pop culture.  As the title of the album suggests, Brand New Life is about forging new paths–artistic, personal, political, and spiritual. On this album, Younger salutes her musical foremother, the trailblazing harpist Dorothy Ashby, while also speaking to the sentiments of more recent generations. “We're bringing new life to Dorothy Ashby's popular and previously unreleased compositions. We're creating new life…for the instrument,” Younger said. Brand New Life is an album about living fully, in neon bright color. In March of 2022, Younger flew to Chicago and began recording Brand New Life in the home studio of her long-time collaborator and friend, Makaya McCraven, who produced and played drums on the album. In the Windy City, Younger hoped to harness some of Ashby's funky energy from a recording she did there nearly five decades before. Younger gathered artists who have had a sense of kinship with Ashby; from the internationally-lauded neo-soul bassist/vocalist/rapper Meshell Ndegeocello to her long-time bassist Rashaan Carter, plus the legendary rapper and producer Pete Rock and the talented contemporary producer 9th Wonder. The latter producers introduced hip-hop and R&B listeners to Ashby in the 1990s and early 2000s via slick samples. Pete Rock and CL Smooth's 1992 release, “For Pete's Sake,” samples Ashby's 1968 hit “Come Live With Me.” 9th Wonder's remix of singer Amerie's 2003 R&B classic “Why Don't We Fall in Love,” also includes a Dorothy Ashby sample from “Come Live With Me.” With Younger's solo rendition of this heavily sampled song on Brand New Life, she builds a sonic bridge between generations. “I wanted everyone on the record to have a special connection to Dorothy [Ashby]," she said.  For the project, Younger also recorded a number of Ashby's compositions that were never recorded before, alongside Ashby fan favorites and Younger originals.  The emotional complexity of the album is stunningly captured in the title track, “Brand New Life,” an original co-written by Younger and singer, Mumu Fresh. “This love is so deep, time and space couldn't keep you away from me,” Mumu Fresh sings. Younger's playing paints lush details over Mumu Fresh's smooth vocals leaving nothing to be sonically desired. Against the backdrop of current social issues–climate change, racism, health disparities, and women's rights–the song speaks to a desire that many people have for change, for something new in the world. “Brand New Life'' reaches listeners at the level of the human. Love is a subtle but insistent thread throughout the album. The opening track, “You're a Girl For One Man Only,” is a previously unrecorded Dorothy Ashby composition. Sonically, it is tender and evocative of a first kiss or the early seasons of a new romance. Younger recalls the original song's lyrics' more traditional message of romantic longing that we still hear in popular music today. Boy chases girl. Girl succumbs. In Younger's version, there is a sense of agency and exploration. Younger creates a mesmerizing atmosphere. In the second half of the track, we are met with a delicate dance between Joel Ross on vibraphone and Younger on harp, the two instruments pining through the melody.  Brand New Life is part of her steadfast efforts to amplify the contributions of black women harpists and to keep their legacies alive.  Her care for and attention to Dorothy Ashby as a musical ancestor has been consistent throughout her career. Akin to the popular hashtag, #CiteBlackWomen, which demands consumers credit and recognizes black women for their intellectual labor, Younger urges us to recognize Ashby's contribution to the American songbook. The album is part of a larger project of recognizing not only the history of innovators of the distinguished harp – a history that places Ashby and Younger together on a continuum – but also the presence of everyday black women.  “Running Game” was an obscure seven-inch single release originally entitled “Double Talkin'” and featured Ashby on piano. In the song's intro, we hear what sounds like a casual conversation at a black women's beauty salon or at a social gathering of sorts where women freely share advice and observations on life with one another. The voices in the intro are of Younger's mother and aunt. Younger set up listeners by reading the lyrics from Ashby's original. “Every man I meet is double talkin'. "Where did the good men go?” The women candidly respond to the song lyrics. One says, “As far as the game, men have been running game since day one.” The track leads into, “Running Game,” a ballad with inflections of Negro spirituals and the blues.  Here, Younger's expressivity on her instrument is incomparable. As the strings (arranged by DeSean Jones) hum behind her, the “double-talking” gold-digging man comes into full view. “Running Game” ends on a note of optimism, of marching forward despite life's struggles.  Younger was born and raised in Hempstead, New York. As a teen in the early 1990s, she bopped to the beats of artists like LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, and Busta Rhymes. Among these hip-hop greats, she discovered Ashby's music by way of hip-hop legend Pete Rock. She began playing harp at the age of eleven and eventually enrolled at the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford in Connecticut where she studied classical music. It was through the encouragement of legendary saxophonist Jackie McLean that she made her first foray into jazz with the harp.  Hearing Ashby for the first time made her envision new possibilities for herself as a harpist. “She was covering all of these popular tunes and soundtracks [of the time] and I wanted to do that. She's playing pop, jazz, and everyone's sampling her–DJ Premier, Pete Rock, J. Dilla. Hearing, then seeing her as a Black Woman, while I'm this random little isolated black girl playing the harp by myself was everything to me.” Younger forged her way with a small but mighty group of black women harpists as examples—Sarah Lawrence from her hometown, Ann Hobson-Pilot, Dorothy Ashby, and Alice Coltrane—who were consistent sources of inspiration. In 2006, after graduating from Hartt School, Younger went on to develop a name for herself on the jazz and commercial recording scene in New York City. To date, her performance roster is fierce. As a side-woman, she has played alongside jazz icons such as Pharoah Sanders, Ravi Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette, and Reggie Workman. Younger's commitment to carrying the torch can also be seen through her work as a performer and educator. In 2008, she earned a Master of Music from New York University's Steinhardt School. During this time, she began to work seriously as an educator. She has been a guest faculty and lecturer at numerous universities including but not limited to Berklee College of Music, Princeton University, Howard University, and Tulane University. Currently, she serves as a teaching artist faculty at New York University and The New School.    In 2020, Younger was named winner of the DownBeat Critics Poll in the category of "Rising Star" harpist. Her work as a side woman is evidence of Younger's undeniable presence in the sound of contemporary jazz today. In recent years, she has appeared on albums by Lakecia Benjamin, Robert Glasper, Jeremy Pelt, The Baylor Project, and Makaya McCraven, just to name a few. In addition to her contributions as a side-woman, Younger's commitment to honoring the legacy of black women harpists can be seen through her curatorial work. She has curated a number of performances dedicated to honoring the work of Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. This work speaks to her dedication as a purveyor of black music and history.

HB 583, a bill concerning multiple K-12 education laws in Ohio, has been approved by the state legislature and is set to arrive on Governor DeWine's desk soon. The bill contains changes to laws concerning students receiving EdChoice private school scholarships and parents of dyslexic students. It also extends districts' ability to hire substitute teachers with only a high school diploma by another two years. The bill expands EdChoice to include some families whose children previously received state funding for private education or whose siblings received such funding. HB 583 has drawn criticism from the Ohio Education Association, who are opposed to the idea of forcing taxpayers to pay to send children to mostly religious private schools which tend to under-perform compared to their public school counterparts. HB 583 also loosens requirements for charter school sponsors in Ohio, a move that has earned them some criticism from both charter school critics and advocates. Both groups raise issue with the lowered accountability this will allow school sponsors to get away with in the state. The bill also pushes back the start of dyslexia screening requirements by one year. Electric company AES Ohio, formerly Dayton Power and Light, is currently seeking approval from the state to disconnect customers remotely for non-payment. Duke Energy Ohio and AEP are already exempt from the in-person notification that AES is currently required to give before shutting off service. A spokesperson for the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said Tuesday that there is no timeline as yet for when we can expect to see a ruling on this case. The move has drawn criticism from the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Council, Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, and the Ohio Poverty Law Center. These groups raise concerns over the language AES uses regarding “vulnerable customers;” AES has proposed “limiting” the number of such customers who would be subject to remote disconnection, which the OCC argues is insufficient. All vulnerable customers, such as people with disabilities or the elderly, should be exempt from the remote disconnection process, they argued in their recent filing. PUCO staff have also recommended against the proposal, saying it does not sufficiently communicate the change in disconnection practices to customers. Currently AES gives customers two notices before disconnection in the winter months but only one notice in the summer, which may be particularly troubling. Tuesday, June 14, was the hottest day Dayton has seen in nearly ten years. Temperatures soared to a peak of 95 degrees at the Dayton International Airport, with a heat index of 107 and humidity in the 70s. Closer to the city center, temperatures rose even one or two degrees higher due to the urban environment. This coming at the same time as power outages across Ohio has put many Daytonians in a precarious position, with National Weather Service meteorologist John franks calling the heat “oppressive.” Nighttime lows stayed above 70 degrees, depriving residents of what would typically be a welcome respite from the daytime heat. Cooling centers have opened across the Dayton metro area for those affected. There are locations in Dayton, Oakwood, Riverside, Moraine, West Carrolton, Washington Twp., and Warren County. As Dayton and Montgomery County Public Health tells us, the three most important things are to stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed. Visit www.phdmc.org/extreme-heat for more information. A fire broke out Tuesday on the roof of the Mendelson Liquidation Outlet building downtown, producing large clouds of black smoke that were spotted around 11:30 a.m. The building is currently undergoing major renovations to be converted into apartments, offices, and retail space. Dayton fire chief Jeff Lykins reported that the blaze likely started when construction crews cut into or worked on an object with rubber or fuel inside. The fire was small and quickly extinguished, but produced the aforementioned smoke that chief Lykins said made the fire look “more impressive than it actually was.” The damage was contained to roofing and the damaged vessel, and nobody was injured.

Governor Mike Dewine on Monday announced that he has signed HB 99 into law, allowing teachers and other school personnel to carry firearms in classrooms. The bill goes into effect 90 days after being signed. This has been met with significant pushback from Ohio Democrats including former Dayton mayor Nan Whaley, who is also the Democratic nominee running against DeWine for the office of governor of Ohio. Governor DeWine admitted on Monday in his press release that there is no data to support the idea that arming teachers will reduce school shooting incidents, but said he has been told “anecdotally” that it will work. HB 99 also includes $6 million for school safety centers across Ohio, a continuation of the governor's previous efforts to expand behavioral health care across the state. The decision to arm teachers was influenced by the impracticality of schools training and arming hired school security personnel according to the state's current standards, which requires such personnel to have 700 hours or 20 years of law enforcement experience. In contrast, under HB 99, teachers will require only “up to” 24 hours of firearm training before being permitted to carry weapons in the classroom. Schools across the state have responded in various ways to the announcement; some saying they will arm teachers, some saying they won't, and many offering no comment at this time. School districts are not required to arm teachers under HB 99, and those that do are allowed to demand stricter requirements than those set forth by the state government. On the subject of Mike DeWine's repeated loosening of Ohio gun laws, HB 215 went into effect as well on Monday, allowing concealed carry of handguns without a license in the state of Ohio. Any Ohio resident otherwise allowed to carry a gun will not be required to seek a concealed carry license, and Ohioans with existing licenses will not be required to renew them. With this, Dayton Police has announced changes to the way officers will interact with the public, particularly during traffic stops. Officers will be encouraged to regularly ask motorists and residents if they are carrying a firearm, as civilians are now not required to disclose this information to police. Dayton Police Chief Kamran Afzal also encourages the public to volunteer this information to officers during stops and other encounters with law enforcement. The policy of asking civilians to disclose the possession of firearms is not new among certain departments, but it will now be more widely practiced, according to Chief Afzal. He also encourages gun owners to still opt into the firearm training that comes with a concealed carry license, which HB 215 waives. This Saturday, June 18, there will be a free health fair hosted at New City Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Services provided will include COVID vaccines, a1c testing, vision screenings, various weight loss resources, oral health resources, and more.  Dayton is currently developing its first Active Transportation Plan; a program which will seek to identify and prioritize projects to improve Dayton's bicycle and pedestrian networks. The plan will also be an essential part of securing infrastructure funding for such projects. Community members are asked and encouraged to be a part of the planning process throughout the month of July, with various outreach programs and online surveys planned. Visit walkbike.info/Dayton for more information. The Miami Valley Alzheimer's Association Chapter has announced the dates for its five Walks to End Alzheimer's, the largest event to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's in the world. The Miami Valley walks will be happening on September 10th, 17th, and 24th, and October 1st and 8th, at various locations around the Valley. For more info on specific locations and to register as a team or individual, go to alz.org/walk. After five years, the 416 Diner on East Fifth Street has closed its doors. Owner Guy Fragmin announced the decision last Thursday, saying “[they] hope to continue the tradition of great food and service in the near future.” Fans of the 416 on Facebook have expressed their words of sadness, support, and well wishes for the Diner's staff. The Five Rivers MetroParks are ready to restart a variety of projects that were put on hold by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these are the Taylorsville MetroPark and Sugarcreek MetroPark, which the agency received public feedback on at the end of last year. Another major project going forward soon will be a park-over-the-river between the Third Street Bridge and Wolf Creek Bridge, announced in March of this year. According to MetroParks spokesperson Carrie Scarff, the park and footbridge will seek to unite East and West Dayton, as well as showcase the Great Miami River. The project has been named, appropriately, Unity Bridge. Five Rivers MetroParks also announced plans to make improvements to Sunrise Park and construct bikeways linking West Third Street to the riverfront below the Dayton Art Institute at Monument Avenue.    Angie's Firehouse Tavern on Watervliet Avenue is up for sale after being revived by retired fire captain Patrick Reed in 2010. The restaurant first opened in 1938 as the Hungarian restaurant Angi's (pronounced AHN-ji's), but came to be known as Angie's among locals who were unsure how to pronounce the name. Quickly gaining a reputation for delicious cabbage rolls and other home-cooked Hungarian meals, Angi's became a fixture of the community for decades. Patrick Reed and his family and friends bought the vacant Angi's in 2010 to keep the spot they loved alive. Now he's looking for new ownership with creative ideas to continue their work so he can relax after 12 years of hard work. He also cites frustration with staffing shortages and rising production costs as factors in his decision. Angie's is considered a historic Dayton landmark and is listed for sale at $475,000, including the building, equipment, recipes, and decorations within. And, of course, a 1970 Porsche Firetruck that can be used for advertising. Lynda Suda, market manager of 2nd Street Market, announced that the market has reached 100% indoor capacity. All 44 spaces have been filled by various growers, producers, bakers, artisans, and restaurants. There are spots still available for weekend-only vendors, however. Suda is always looking for passionate entrepreneurs to bring their craft to the community through 2nd Street Market. Many weekend-only vendors at the market are first-time business owners, and 2nd Street helps educate them on what licenses they'll need and how they can get them. Weekend-only vendors can apply by filling out an application and meeting with market organizers, but the process for indoor permanent vendors is both more involved and more competitive. The market has also become more diverse in the past five years, with more minority vendors filling weekend and permanent spots. To learn more about the market and see the various weekend events they hold, visit metroparks.org/places-to-go/2nd-street-market. It is now estimated that Dayton Public Schools will spend $62 million more than they have available in the next two school years and will run out of general fund money in 2024-25. While labor costs are expected to rise significantly, the bigger problem starts in September 2024 when the district will have to have spent its remaining $140 million in federal COVID-19 relief money. This money has been used for many projects in the Dayton Public School system, and the school board doesn't plan to end these projects when the federal relief money that was used to start them runs out. This leaves the district with a projected $73 million deficit in 2024-25. The Board of Education is looking to approve a $230 million general budget for the next school year, which is expected to be temporary until late September. They've also said they're not planning any staff cuts, and are in fact planning to hire for several positions. DPS Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli is meeting with the district's department heads to discuss what projects will be delayed and ensure that nothing is done that will negatively impact instruction or staffing numbers. Immigration attorney and former Dayton Public Schools president Mohamed al-Hamdani was selected as the chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party last Thursday. Al-Hamdani is the first Muslim to lead a county Democratic party in Ohio, replacing Mark Owens, who served as chairman for 15 years before his recent retirement. He is a Dayton Public Schools and Wright State University graduate, and earned his law degree from University of Dayton after working as a cultural advisor for the Department of Defense during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Like most politically-savvy people, al-Hamdani has his sights set on this year's elections, hoping to get Democrats into leadership positions at the local, state, and federal levels. Montgomery County has approved a new $6 million Environmental Services Lab in Downtown Dayton. The new lab will make sure drinking water and discharged wastewater are compliant with state regulations for over 80,000 homes in the county. The current lab in Moraine has been in place for decades and is in need of replacement as the county seeks to update aging infrastructure. The new lab will be state of the art and is being paid for by the American Rescue Plan, from which the county received $103 million. On Saturday, June 18, Hospice of Dayton will be holding a butterfly release to remember and honor loved ones lost in Dayton. The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Hospice location on Wilmington Avenue. You can register for a $15 donation to have a butterfly released in a loved one's name; you can register online at hospiceofdayton.org, or you can call Marsha Bernard at 937-671-3119 for more information. The Good Samaritan Hospital site in northwest Dayton has a new facility opening, exciting partners with the project. The closing of the hospital was upsetting to many Dayton residents, who understandably believed it would have a negative impact on the community's health and well-being. The new facility is planned to be two stories, half of which will be occupied by the Dayton YMCA, including a pool, fitness center, and gym. Premier Health, which is putting forward about $15 million to fund the project, will occupy about a quarter of the facility. The project sought community feedback to learn what Daytonians wanted to see on the former hospital campus, which will also include an urgent care clinic, physicians' offices, and medical imaging services. Goodwill Easterseals will also have an office in the space to run their economic self-sufficiency and employment program. Construction is expected to begin this Fall and take about 14 months. Spokespersons with the project have said there will be more information in the coming weeks. Among the producers for the now Tony Award-winning “A Strange Loop” are Wright State University graduate Tony Monda and West Milton-born Jimmy Wilson. The show took home Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical at the 75th annual Tony Awards on Sunday. It was Wilson's first Broadway production as an associate producer with Barbara Whitman Productions. This is Monda's third Tony, previously having been involved in Hadestown, which took Best Musical in 2019, and The Inheritance, which won Best Play at last year's awards. In 2020, he also received the Graduate of the Last Decade Award from the Wright State Alumni Association. Wilson will be moving on to produce “Good Night, Oscar” for Broadway and Monda will be returning to Dayton to work with the Human Race Theater Company, where he interned in college. If you're looking for outdoor activities on the Great Miami this summer, Taiters Kayak Solutions will be offering kayak rentals Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m. through September.

And finally, I am happy to announce that we have our first sponsor! It's an affiliate sponsor of the show, and it's the Daytonian Beard Company, which is an excellent local small black-owned business that makes beard care products. If you order from them online (not in store) you can get 10% off your order by using the code “discoverdaytonpod,” so I hope you'll visit them online at https://thedaytonianbeardco.com/ or check them out in-person at The Entrepreneurs Marketplace, although the discount code does not work for in-store purchases.  All right, that's it for this week's news roundup episode, and just as a heads up I will have some big news coming up soon that you're going to want to hear about related to some cool ways you can support this show while also getting some cool benefits in return, and if you're a business owner I may have some cool news about Bosnia and Herzegovina you're going to want to hear about, so stay tuned for that possibly as soon as next week. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe and leave a review and share this episode with a friend. Thanks so much for listening, and stay funky, Dayton.

As always, you can find the full transcript for News Roundup episodes on the podcast website at discoverdaytonpodcast.com.    Organizations mentioned in this episode include: Dayton Public Schools Greater Dayton RTA Dayton International Airport Dayton Daily News Ohio Statehouse Wright-Patterson Regional Council of Governments Central State University Wright State University University of Cincinnati Sinclair Community College Day Air Ballpark City of Dayton Tumble, LLC Blind Bob's The Dublin Pub Thai 9 Lily's WheatPenny Salar Franco's Trolley Stop Van Buren Room Table 33 Mudlick Tap House Dayton Beer Company Old Scratch Jimmie's Ladder 11 Fifth Street Brewpub Coco's Bistro Basil's on Market Angie's Firehouse Tavern Carmichael's Slyder's Toxic Brew Company Levitt Pavilion Bribing Senators Neil deGrasse Tyson Dayton Live For Dayton by Dayton Mike Bankhead Dayton Masonic Center St. Anne's Hill Historic Society St. Anne's Cheese Company Evan's Bakery Dayton Metro Library Patterson Pub Front Street Liederkranz-Turner German Club Dayton Jewish Cultural Festival Dayton Jazz Festival Paul Laurence Dunbar House Isaiah Sharkey The Loft Theatre Dayton Celtic Festival Dayton Philharmonic Oregon District Mumu Fresh   Transcript:  Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton podcast, the show that's all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. I'm your host, Arch Grieve, and today is Friday, June 10th, 2022, which means this is your weekly news roundup episode, where I read the news (so you don't have to). A lot has happened in the past week, including some local Dayton organizations receiving state funding, Dayton getting a new state senator next year who it never voted for, and a troubling statistic for local letter carriers. There's also a lot happening in the coming days that you're going to want to hear about, so stay tuned for your weekly news roundup episode, which starts in just a moment.    And now for last week's news:   Well Welcome Stadium is getting an $11 million renovation, which Dayton Public Schools officials say they hope will help make it a more attractive venue for other state and national athletic events. The stadium opened in 1949 and had its last renovation in 2008, which was around $3 million. While the project won't be completed for over a year, DPS does expect to have new turf, track, and lighting to be ready in time for fall games this year. One addition is going to be a new hall of fame of past DPS athletes. The groundbreaking took place this past Wednesday and the renovations have already begun.    The Greater Dayton RTA has announced that 10 lines that were suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic will be permanently canceled, while 11 others are being reconfigured. The move comes as the RTA is facing a driver shortage and decreased ridership. Affected bus routes include routes 3, 5, 23, 24, 64, 65, 66, X1A, X1B, and X5. Starting later this fall, however, the RTA will be switching from having separate bus route schedules for weekdays vs. weekends to having the same schedule every day for their bus routes. There are also currently 50 job openings for bus drivers, and today from 7-11am and tomorrow from 10am to 2pm at the University of Dayton arena there will be a job fair for people who are interested in applying where you can apply to become a big-bus driver (which requires a CDL) or a small bus driver (which does not). The coolest thing about the event is that you can actually have an opportunity to drive one of the buses, so I may end up going and applying too, who knows. Visit iriderta.org for more information.    And, speaking of busing and Dayton Public Schools, DPS is reversing a previous decision to end the practice of giving RTA passes to high school students and is now saying that high school students will, in fact, be receiving RTA passes to get to school. DPS also explained that because high school students will no longer receive busing from DPS, they can attend any school within the district and are not bound by the quadrant system that is in place for elementary and middle schools where students must attend schools that are within the quadrant in which they live. If you have questions about busing you can call the Student Enrollment Center at 937-542-5555.   Well if you're flying out of Dayton International Airport anytime soon just be warned, the airport recently had an airfare hike that was not only among the highest in the country, it IS the highest price hike in the country. The study comes from cheapair.com, and finds that on average Dayton airport flyers are paying 42% more per ticket than last year, which averages out to $109 per flight. The increase comes as part of a trend of smaller airports increasing their rates across the country. After seeing demand drop during the pandemic, it has been on the rise recently, but airlines are struggling to find people for the reopened positions that were cut during the pandemic.    One thing that I didn't realize until I was reading a Dayton Daily News story this week was that once the redistricting changes go into effect next year, most of Dayton will have a new state senator who it didn't vote for, which will be State Senator Niraj Antani. This is due to the fact that the majority of what is now Senator Stephen Huffman's district is being transferred to Niraj Antani's, although only until new maps can be drawn up for the 2024 election. However, if Dayton is redistricted once more to another district that does not have a senator up for re-election, it's possible Dayton could go for eight years without being able to vote for their state senator. Antani is a very conservative Republican state senator from Miamisburg who has the distinction of being the state's first Indian-American senator in Ohio history.    In related news, the Ohio Statehouse has passed a bill funding $3.5 billion in state capital projects, with $18.6 million of that funding going to Montgomery County. Of that, $1.7 million will go towards projects at Central State, Wright State, and the University of Cincinnati. The biggest recipient by far, however, is Sinclair Community College, which (for the sake of full disclosure), is where I also work part-time. Sinclair though is getting $13 million, with $5 million going towards Advanced Manufacturing and Skilled Trades training hubs, and $4 million to cover the cost of installing fire sprinkler systems. The Dayton International Airport and Sinclair also requested $250K for an aircraft mechanic training center, which was fully funded, unlike some other local projects, including a $5 million request by the City of Dayton for Day Air Ballpark, which only received a tenth of that.    Well there's a new local government entity in town, or towns, rather. The Wright-Patterson Regional Council of Governments came together recently and is made up of six communities: Dayton, Beavercreek, Fairborn, Riverside, Huber Heights, and Bath Township. The Council will have powers similar to Ohio municipalities, including making purchases, passing zoning laws, and establishing Tax Increment Financing districts. US Representative Mike Turner helped secure $1 million in funding for the creation of the Council, which is aimed at improving the lives of US Air Force members around the base. The council is composed of members who are local city managers or other high-ranking administrators in their respective communities.    This next story brings back some uncomfortable memories I have being a former Dayton Power and Light meter reader years ago, but apparently Dayton ranks 22nd in the country for dogs biting postal workers, with 18 postal worker dog bites happening last year. Ohio itself actually ranks third in the country as a state for dog bites, with Columbus coming in on top with 31 letter carrier dog bites. So please, make sure your dogs are taken care of properly. I can attest from personal experiences that it's really not fun getting bit.    Well if you're lazy like I am, although possibly have more disposable income, then there's a new local business that will come to your home and pick up your clothes and wash them and return them to you. The business is called Tumble LLC, and it was started by Miami University classmates Jeffrey Caldwell II and Charles Wheeler III. The new business recently received a Better Business Bureau award, the Spark Award for Entrepreneurship, which “celebrates emerging entrepreneurial businesses whose leaders demonstrate a high level of character, generate a culture that is authentic about its mission and genuinely connects with their community." The business is partnering with local laundromats to help cut down on their own overhead and to schedule a pickup you can visit tumblego.com.    And finally, while not exactly news, it was noted by my friend Alexis Larsen in a Dayton Daily News article last week that it's patio season again in Dayton, so here are some great places to visit that have great patios where you can grab a drink and something to eat. In the Oregon District for food and drink you've got Blind Bob's, The Dublin Pub, Thai 9, Lily's, WheatPenny, Salar, Franco's, and Trolley Stop. If you're just looking for drinks, Bell of Dayton's Van Buren Room is a great place to visit as well. Outside the Oregon District but still downtown there's Table 33, Mudlick Tap House, Dayton Beer Company (which has a cool new rooftop bar), Old Scratch, Jimmie's Ladder 11, Fifth Street Brewpub, Coco's Bistro, and Basil's on Market, if you want to have a cool view of the fountains. A little further outside of downtown and you can check out Angie's Firehouse Tavern, Carmichael's, and Slyder's as well.    That's it for your local news, and now, here's what's happening tonight, this weekend, and beyond:   One thing happening all weekend is the celebration of Toxic Brew Company's 9th birthday. Events kicked off yesterday with a special tapping of their Bubblegum Blonde and Coffee Belgian Golden Ale beers. Today they're tapping their Melon ISO-Heaven, and tomorrow they're tapping their Mango Magnum Hop PIPA. Also there will be Chef Dane and on Sunday you can hear music by Cooley the Curator. Toxic opens at 2pm today and noon on the weekends. So happy birthday, Toxic!   Tonight, June 10th, the St. Helen Spring Festival is kicking off from 6:30-11pm at the St. Helen's Parish on Granville Place. The event continues this weekend and features rides, food, a flea market, beer garden, and more, and is free to attend.    Also happening tonight at the Levitt Pavilion, The New Respects will be performing a free concert from 7-9pm. Their music features danceable fusions of pop, soul, and rock music, and they recently released an EP entitled “Don't Panic.”    You can keep the music going by visiting Blind Bob's afterwards starting at 9pm for a show and EP release from Bribing Senators. The EP is called Triple Imperial EP, and the show is called Five Years for 5 Songs.    Famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is also in Dayton tonight, Friday June 10th, where he will be performing a show that discusses what all of your favorite science movies get wrong. Tickets range in price from $55 to $135 and are available at daytonlive.org.   This Saturday, June 11, from 4-9pm at the RiverScape Metro Park, the third annual “For Dayton by Dayton” festival is taking place. There will be music, including opening act Mike Bankhead, who was a guest on this show back on episode 21, so check that out too if you haven't already! Rapper K. Carter is hosting and headlining the event.    The Dayton Masonic Center is hosting a comedy event fundraiser tomorrow starting at 7pm that will feature comedians Caroline Rhea, Craig Shoemaker, and Cole Cosby. Tickets are $35 online or $40 at the door. Rhea was in the show “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” Shoemaker has appeared on Parks and Rec, and Cosby is a comedian out of Philadelphia. Visit daytonmasoniccenter.org for ticket and show information.    Also going on tomorrow, Saturday June 11th, is the St. Anne's Hill Garden Tours. The event features a self-guided tour of St. Anne's Hill homes and gardens that goes from 10am to 3pm. If you're going, visit the old St. Anne the Tart building at 1501 E. Fifth St to start. The tour is $17 and your ticket gets you into the Tea Garden, which includes a selection of drinks and refreshments. If you miss it, you'll have to wait for another two years because it's only a biannual event. For tickets, search for St. Anne's Hill Historic Society on EventBrite.com.    On Saturday from 11am-1pm you can participate in the Ethnic Cheese and Dessert Workshop at Evan's Bakery, which is being put on in partnership with the St. Anne's Cheese Company, who I had on the podcast as well recently on episode 27. This next workshop will highlight Turkish cheese and tickets are still available for $29 at stannescheeseco.com.    Or, if you have more of a sweet tooth, you can also on Saturday go to the Downtown Dayton Library location, where you can participate in their Frequent Chocolate Eater Chocolate Eating series. For $25, you can learn about single origin craft beans and, of course, taste some chocolate. And, if you're really hungry you could actually do the cheese workshop followed by this one, because it doesn't start until 2pm. It goes until 3:30pm. Visit eatmorechocolate.eventbrite.com for tickets.    If you're into bourbon and cigars, you may want to visit the Patterson Pub on Saturday evening, where for $50 you can participate in their blind bourbon tasting, which includes 5 pours and 3 mini cocktails, as well as a cigar. Visit facebook.com/pattersonpubdayton for ticket information.    Or, if you're more of a wine person, you can visit Front Street, where there's a wine tasting and art fest going on Saturday the 11th from 5-10pm. Tickets are $25 beforehand or $30 on the day of the event. You get 10 2 oz. samples and a souvenir wine glass. Alexis Gomez will provide live music and Condado Tacos will be there as well. Visit frontstreet.art for more information and tickets.    And finally if beer is more your speed, head over to the Liederkranz-Turner German Club for their bi-weekly Bier Garten event, which is going on from 5-10pm.    On Sunday from 11am-7pm the Dayton Jewish Cultural Festival is going on at Temple Israel on Riverside Drive. The event is free and open to the public, and includes traditional Jewish food, entertainment, and the Oy Vey 5K and Chai Challenge.    Also happening on Sunday, the Dayton Jazz Festival is returning to the Levitt Pavilion on Sunday from 1-9pm. There will be some great performers as well as food and merchandise vendors. Visit levittdayton.org for more information.    Another Sunday event is taking place at the Paul Laurence Dunbar House from 2-4pm, where the Dunbar Literary Circle will meet (as they do every second Sunday of the month) with Omope Carter Daboiku, Wordsmith & International Storyteller. The event is free and open to the public.    Next Monday at Toxic there's a special trivia event, which is 90s Trivia with Luke, Ash, and Kenny. You can join for three rounds of 90s-themed music, movies, and TV starting at 8:30pm. The winners will receive prizes and there are drink specials going on all night.    On Thursday, June 16th, you can visit Salar, who is hosting a wine dinner. The all-inclusive price is $89, which gets you five wines paired with five separate courses. The dinner begins at 6pm and you can get tickets at salarrestaurant.com.    Also happening next Thursday, Chicago native Isaiah Sharkey is performing at Levitt Pavilion from 7-9pm. Isaiah's third album, Blackmessiah, won the 2015 grammy for best R&B album, so you won't want to miss him.   The Loft Theatre has a new musical, “My 80-Year Old Boyfriend,” which is based on a true story inspired by the original performer of the musical, Cherissa Bertels. The cost is $17 and you can purchase tickets at daytonlive.org. Showtime is at 8pm.    Well if you're a Dayton Celtic Festival fan like myself, you'll be excited to know that there's a bit of a preview coming to the Levitt Pavilion next Friday, June 17th from 7-9pm, where We Banjo 3 will be performing. The two sets of brothers from Galway, Ireland and Nashville, TN play Americana, Bluegrass, and Celtic-inspired music.    Also next Friday, the Dayton Philharmonic is celebrating Juneteenth and the 150th anniversary of Paul Laurence Dunbar's birth at their Juneteenth celebration at the Schuster Center at 8pm. Tickets prices range from $5-85 and are available at daytonlive.org.   There's another Juneteenth Celebration in the Oregon District next Saturday as well starting at 11am and going until 2pm.

“The journey to self-love is not quick, or easy, or ever over,” says musician Allison Russell, whose solo album Outside Child was released to widespread acclaim last year. In this episode, Allison and Hanif sit down to talk about healing and moving towards self-love through trauma—and the rollercoaster of emotions that often comes along with that work. How can we embrace the totality of our past, comfortably inhabit our contradictions, and love who we are in this moment—whether we feel shameless, ashamed, or both? This week, our playlist features songs about loving oneself. Plus, Allison and Hanif swap poem and book recommendations—check the show notes for links!

When raising our kids, who's to say conventional is the best way to go? So many of the current institutions in the US, whether it's politics, the education system, or the way our law enforcement functions, don't favor Black and brown people—and especially not our children. If we're going to raise our kids to think outside of the box, to value emotional maturity, and to grow to become the strongest, proudest, and most empathetic people they're capable of being, then why stick to a blueprint that's served us so poorly in the past?Today, I'm welcoming Maimouna Youssef AKA Mumu Fresh, a Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and MC who's also a mama making her way in the wild world of the music industry.Tune in and listen to episode fourteen of Mamaste with Tanika Ray.

(03:07)What do you call yourself? How would you describe yourself? (20:32)What do you wish kids knew about themselves?

In this episode our host, Dr. Su'ad Abdul Khabeer talks with Siddeeqah Sharif Fichman an Afro-Native Muslim and community advocate and Hazel Gómez, a faith-based community organizer, about Being Muslim on Turtle Island. This deep discussion digs into questions such as What would make a Muslim a settler or indigenous to North America? How might settler thinking shape how we live as Muslims today? What are the responsibilities of Muslims, as a whole, to the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas? During the conversation, Hazel reads the poem “Child of the Americas” by Aurora Levins Morales (shared below) and Siddeqah introduces us to the song “Bilalian Man” by Sister Khalifah Abdul Rahman.* To the question, if Black Islam had a theme song what would it be? Hazel chose “Allah” by Khalil Ismail and Siddeeqah chose “Bilalian Man” as her Black Muslim theme song. The song excerpt in the episode is sung by Siddeeqah's mother, Sister Sabreen Sharif and full lyrics are below. Not sure what Bilalian means? Check out this article by Precious Rasheeda Muhammad. Also be sure to check out the music of Afro-Native Muslim performing artist Maimouna Youseff (Mumu Fresh). *Siddeeqah misspoke in the episode and this particular song is by Sister Khalifah Abdul Rahman. On the Square theme music was created by Fanatik OnBeats. Artwork was created by Scheme of Things Graphics. --- Courtesy of Maydan Podcast.

In this episode of The GLOW Code Podcast, Nicci Page has a GLOWING conversation with Grammy nominated artist, song writer, MC, and activist, Mumu Fresh. The discussion encompasses her spiritual journey, her words of wisdom for women, and the meanings behind some of her lyrics.

Dating, relationships and marriage have changed drastically over the past few decades. Love no longer looks like the old ways of our parents and grandparents. The process of finding and falling in love is different in this day and age but the desired end result is the same. We all want to love and be loved unconditionally. We all want to trust without fear. We all want to be accepted for who we are. We all want that “Forever” type of love. Pun intended. foreverduncan.com

WITH THE HOT NEW SINGLE ' I GOT A MAN " “The Blooming” is the title track that opens up Maimouna Youssef's first solo full-length CD since she came upon the mainstream scene in the early new millennium as a vocalist featured on The Roots' GRAMMY-nominated song “Don't Feel Right”, and a lively performance artis...t sharing the stage with a bevy of artists ranging from Angelique Kidjo and Nas to Martin Luther and Mos Def. The eclectic and out-of-the-box Youssef presents her title track as the CD's kick-off, bursting through the speakers with a revolutionary fire as she becomes Mumu Fresh, her MC alter-ego who unabashedly steals the mic from her softer chanteuse side to break rhymes inspired by an unapologetic childhood in Baltimore's concrete jungle coupled with an enchanting spiritual foundation borne from a close relationship with her spiritual guides and supportive elders. Youssef breaks conformity with a rap song that is neither conventional nor predictable, wearing lyrics that are both transcendental and contemporary in their message. Delivering said lyrics as fiercely and uncompromisingly as a young Lauryn Hill on the now classic Miseducation CD, Youssef become's Hill worthy successor. Zap Mama bequeaths the crown to Youssef at the song's end in a fleeting voice-over alerting you that this track is only the appetizer.Maimouna “Mumu Fresh” Youssef is a Grammy nominated seasoned singer, emcee, songwriter and poet.
