Joye Hardiman's screening at the Seattle Black Film Festival, to Delbert Richardson's story, The Lion Tells It's Tale, Black Folks have been OUT HERE whispering, speaking, shoutin', testifying and spillin' all the tea!

Catch me and Chevon Powell in The Joy Corridor tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 19th at 4pm. Celebrating the Joy of Being Black Outside!
4pm, 105.7 FM, streaming live at www.KVRU.org

I cannot wait for y'all to hear from Chevon Powell, Founder of Golden Brick Events!!!! Chevon brings a lot of love, care and joy to the world through outdoor events and camping festivals for Black and Brown folks. She is delightful!
As always, Thursday, 4pm PST on 105.7 FM or stream live on www.kvru.org
This is from the Golden Brick Events website:
Unbelievable. When founder Chevon Powell was questioned by law enforcement during a solo backpacking trip in Vermont, she was told her reason for being in the area was ‘unbelievable’. This experience, though unfortunate, is not uncommon for many BIPOC recreationalists. Inspired by the desire to have spaces where people of color could connect with nature, Chevon began her own outdoor-focused BIPOC-centered event production company, Golden Bricks Events. In 2018, she launched its signature festival, Refuge Outdoor Festival, to serve as a space where BIPOC could take “refuge” in the majesty of the great outdoors. Since then the company has expanded its offerings and reach, challenging what is ‘believable’ for BIPOC outside.
