Hunger in the Black Community! Real Talk for Real People!

Hunger is a reality for far too many community members, including our families and elderly. This is especially true in communities of colour, including the Black Communities in Oregon.

What can WE do about this ever-increasing epidemic?

Tonight, join The Eavesdrop hosts Nia & Paula, as they welcome their guests Registered Dietitian, Dr. Joyce Dougherty and Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon's Executive Director, Patti Whitney-Wise.

Patti Whitney-Wise's leadership of the Oregon Hunger Relief Task Force in 2005 resulted in Oregon being the only state to reduce hunger.

2012 Portland Youth Summit - Mis-Education of Our Youth

Tonight, join hosts Nia and Paula for conversation around the kitchen table on The Eavesdrop!

They will discuss the (mis-)education of Portland youth, which is the theme of the 6th Annual Portland Youth Summit, an event taking place on Friday, February 10th & Saturday, February 11th!

Mainstream media depicts our youth as violent, gun-toting, sociopathic, mentally under-developed adults. Nia and Paula challenge those depictions by examining the issues that lead to our youth being misunderstood.

Their special guest, Imani Muhammad, will share one of the solutions she created to bolster our community AND our youth.

Natural Hair - A Do or a Don't in the Workplace?

Afros, braids, locks ... au naturel comes in many forms. But do those forms have a "place" in the workplace?

The question of "acceptable" hair in the workplace has been a controversial challenge for employees and employers alike.

The battle to determine if natural hairstyles promote culture, fashion or both has jumped from boardroom to courtroom.

TONIGHT at 7 pm on The Eavesdrop, the ladies of the Kitchen Table Collective will take a look at this barrier-to-entry Black community members face, in the workplace, as always with real conversation for real people.

Good Hair & the Black Community

What does it mean to have "good" hair in the Black community?

Where did we get the concept of "good hair"?  What is "bad" hair? Why are we & our community's children STILL tackling this issue?

In 2009, comedian Chris Rock attempted to take a "serious" look at the importance of "good" hair in the Black community, with his documentary Good Hair. While the film stirred conversations, many felt the film fell short in its exploration of this very important topic.

TONIGHT at 7 pm on The Eavesdrop, the ladies of the Kitchen Table Collective, will try to fill in some of those gaps with real conversation for real people.
