A TASTE OF THE WINE COUNTRY

Your Host:  Barbara McGee and Rodney Best

A Special 100^th Show

We will present a panel of special guests that had a Napa Wine tasting experience.  What is happening in Napa to Black Women who are successful and choose to travel to Napa to spend a day touring Wineries? 

Monica Stewart and five of her friends went on a wine tour on Saturday, December 12, 2015 thinking they would have a joyous day in the beautiful Napa Valley.  They visited the Rutherford Winery and Grill in the heart of the Napa Valley after visiting other Wineries this past Saturday.  After their arrival at Rutherford, they had an experience of a life-time that was not conceivable in their plans.  A story that they will share on the show tonight at 7:30 P.M. PST on Galaxy Talk Radio, Straight Talk With The Hired Brush. 

The six women involved are educated, professional and successful in their individual fields of endeavor.  Hatred and racism is not limited to the poor and disenfranchised, it reaches across social and economic boundaries and rears its ugly head when you least expect it.

Join me, Barbara McGee and my co-host Rodney Best, Wealth Expert.  Joining us will be Pastor Kweku, head of Family Solutions since 1992 and Lorraine Taylor, founder of 1,000 Mothers to Prevent Violence and a Political figure from the greater Bay Area. 

Join us tonight and have your questions or related issues that needs a public voice to give solutions in our fight for Freedom, Justice and Equality against economic sanctions, gentrification, employment and education issues set up against those without a voice and a platform of expression.

Later in the series we will focus on my home town Oakland a share those with reflections on life in Oakland it’s past and its seemingly projected future without us. Justice or Else in 2015 and what it means regarding supporting politicians who are not answering our calls and issues and voting against our interest collectively.

It is our honor and privilege at T25CL Entertainment and Galaxy Talk Radio to invite you to participate with this open forum.  We will have more professional organizers speaking through our forum.  Please listen and let your voice be heard within our panel and call in and ask questions let's figure out how we can impact/support our community successfully.

Guest: Ronnie Hudson - Grammy award winner for his contribution to the sound track of the movie "Straight Outta of Compton"

The originating song “West Coast Pop Lock” by Ronnie Hudson and his Street People Band could be a great focus cover story (Rolling Stone) for a song that has inspired a legend in his own time and this is the very song that was used in the movie "Straight Outta Compton".

Artist and innovative bassist, composer and producer, Ronnie Hudson, has for decades made his mark in the world of music. With passion and artistry, Ronnie has skillfully crossed over many musical genres from R&B and funk to hip hop, smooth jazz and gospel.
Reared in Washington D.C., Ronnie began developing his craft at the early age of sixteen, playing bass in the band of his friend and mentor, Charles Harrington. He eventually started his own band Chapter One, With Al Johnson, after playing with Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers.
He later moved to Memphis Tennessee to become one of Stax Records renowned recording bassist. At Stax Records Ronnie recorded and toured with Isaac Hayes on his Grammy winning sound track for 70'hit movie, Shaft, and multi platinum, Black Moses. He also recorded and co-produced super hits with good friends, Rufus Thomas on the Breakdown, and Luther Ingram on If (Loving you is wrong I don't want to be right.) These projects name just a few of the major hits with which Ronnie was involved.
Ronnie Hudson blazed his own trail in the hip-hop genre with multi platinum recording, West coast poplock. Dr.Dre and many other artists including 2pac with California Love and Snoop Dawgg with the Poplock 2 have covered this imaginative and versatile song. If you are a gamer you will recognize this song featured in the video game, Grand Theft Auto.
Some of Ronnie Hudson's best work is yet to be heard. He will soon be releasing the Gospel CD, Signs of the times. That he has dedicated to his late mother Kathleen Goss and to all mothers, and friends. Like many, Ronnie has a passion for Gospel music and it is beautifully expressed in this moving and personal journey of the soul. He hopes this CD will capture the Stellar Award, as Signs of the Times is truly that of the present as well as the future.
Ronnie will keep on writing, recording and performing with his nine piece band, The Street People, for many years to come. Music is as much apart of Ronnie Hudson as his breath: hence music lovers of every generation will continue to be moved and inspired by this pioneering artist.
In the forming of the Street People Band (9 piece), Ronnie Hudson assembled the finest professionals in the industry. Consisting of a three man horn section, upright piano, guitar, percussions and drums, with Ronnie Hudson holding down the bass guitar, the band is paired with powerful and moving vocals.
What audiences will most appreciate is the rich tapestry of rhythm and melody that is woven throughout every piece of music. Whether playing familiar favorites or original compositions, Ronnie Hudson and his accomplished professional musicians bring their own innovative perspective and charismatic stage presence that sets their performances apart. Well versed in many musical genres from both smooth jazz and R & B, Ronnie Hudson and The Street People Band enchant audiences of every generation and palette.
Audiences around the globe have been moved by “California Love” by Tupac Shakur for years. .

 Guest: Frances Wilson

On April 14th, 2015, the Stop Mass Incarceration Network  call for a national day of shutdown to stop the business as usual that includes murder by police of at least 2 people a day.  In Los Angeles, after a rally of about 1,000 people in front of LAPD headquarters, people marched to Skid Row, where Brother Africa was killed by LAPD, and then marched through downtown LA.  The march ended near the Blue Line -- the train was stopped for about an hour to protest murder by police.  (Picture attached).  10 of the people arrested on that day face criminal misdemeanor charges carrying up to 3 years jail time -- three of them have already been prosecuted, convicted and sentenced. One of the three defendants, right after being found guilty, spoke with passion to the heart of this injustice:

I have not taken one life from anybody.  And these cops have killed more than 1,000 people in one year, and almost none have spent one day in court.  I’ve spent more time in jail than they have.  I have not taken anybody’s life, and yet I was found guilty.  I did nothing wrong.  And if they think I’m gonna stop because I was found guilty then they are fucking wrong.  I’m not gonna stop, because they are the ones that should be found guilty.  Not me!  

On the same day the young people were sentenced for protesting murder by police DA Jackie Lacey announced her decision that the CHP officer who repeatedly punched Marline Pinnock in the face on the 10 freeway used justifiable force.

The three defendants work, but I'm sure one of them will be available for an interview on Monday.  Let me know what time and how you want to do it -- should one of them call you, or do you want a number, etc.  

The Stop Mass Incarceration Network (SMIN) exists to stop the slow genocide of mass incarceration and all its consequences; racial profiling, a legal system that disproportionately impacts Blacks and Latinos, the police murder of our children, the criminalization of a generation, discrimination, widespread torture in prisons and treating those formerly incarcerated as less than full human beings.

SMIN was initiated in 2011 by Dr. Cornel West and Carl Dix. SMIN is determined to bring forth a movement of millions of people, from all walks of life, in steadfast resistance to the New Jim Crow and we will not stop until mass incarceration and the police murder of Black, Latino and other oppressed peoples stops. We refuse to accept the non-indictments in the murders of Michael Brown and Eric Garner and many, many others across the U.S.  These police murders and the non-indictments are declarations that police can wantonly kill Black and Brown people and that Black and Brown lives do not matter.  

NO MORE!  THIS MUST STOP NOW! Everybody striving for these same objectives should join SMIN. Organizations should affiliate as this is a national network – it’s wide open for every person and every organizations involvement and contribution.

Guest: Dorean Edwards - Inspirational author, and music entertainment consultant

Inspirational author, and music entertainment consultant, Dorean Edwards releases highly sought-after autobiography, “Trapped in a Little Girl’s Body” . 

Edwards was raised in an abusive household in St. Louis, MO. She has pushed through abuse, pain, tears and hardships to become a survivor who inspires others. Her autobiography, “Trapped in a Little Girl’s Body,” tells her story of abuse  endured at the hands of her stepfather from ages 7 to 17 while her mother sat in denial. She said the book reveals how she was raped, beaten and discarded. She overcame it all through faith, perseverance and forgiveness. 

Edwards found great strength in forgiveness. Faith and forgiveness led her to Chicago and then to Los Angeles where she has crafted a successful life and career of giving back to others through gospel music entertainment. She said, “I was raised in church, so I wanted to do something in gospel. My dad was a gospel singer. And I always wanted to inspire people in the gospel arena because of my growing up with low self-esteem.” 

Her love of children and desire to instill self confidence in youth led Edwards to create “Stop the Violence, Think Education, Put God First” sixteen years ago.  This annual youth conference features workshops, panel discussions. Children also receive free school supplies. It has featured celebrities such as Nick Cannon, Flex Alexander and Shanice Wilson, Christ Tucker, Hill Harper Tia and Tamera Mowry, Kirk Whalum, Deitrick Haddon, Meagan Good, Mali Music, Willie Moore, Jr. and Angie Stone. “I am grateful that this conference has inspired youth to go to college, and for some, to return to high school.  I started this event because I just wanted to see young people be happy and educated,” said Edwards. 

Edwards’ company, Consultant Entertainment has a client list that reads like a who’s who among gospel and inspirational stars. The list includes Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, Stevie Wonder, The Winans, Ce Ce Winans, Gerald Alston of The Manhattans,  Bishop Noel Jones, The Mighty Clouds of Joy and Smoky Robinson. Her work with television shows and events includes The Stellar Awards, The Arsenio Hall Show, Quaker Oats Talent Competition, Badami Productions (Gospel Music Presents) and Bobby Jones Gospel (BET).  Additionally, she served as a committee chair for the distinguished Stellar Awards.

Edwards has been celebrated because of her tireless work to encourage others through gospel music. The Urban Network Marketing-Entertainment Summit presented her an award for her work in gospel entertainment. Most recently, she received the 2015 Impact Award for her work with young people in the Los Angeles area through her youth conference. The Impact Awards honors individuals who are making a difference in their community.

While the accolades are fine, Edwards said, “I’m happy to be alive after wanting to commit suicide, having survived a heart attack, rape and being beaten. I have learned to be humble at all times. And I make God first in my life at all times.”

Commenting on the book, Dorean says, I thought long and hard before committing to write my book.   My goal is to encourage others and to inspire people through my testimony to their highest potential.” 

Edwards is available for interviews and appearances. For media appearances, interviews, and/or book-signings contact edwardsdorean@yahoo.com.  Trapped in a Little Girl’s Body is now available on Amazon.com
