Voices of Kansas City
“Voices of Kansas City” is a community conversation show produced by The Kansas City Star. This season is brought to you in collaboration with KKFI community radio and Kansas City G.I.F.T., a non-profit supporting Black small businesses in the metro area.
In Part 1, Voices interviews Darvius Yearwood, a 17 year-old youth activist and winner of the 2023 National Youth Advocate of the Year. Darvius is working to get more young adults involved in civic engagement in Kansas City, and advocating for local teens gaining the right to vote in schoolboard elections. In Part 2, we hear from Johnny Waller, a young man who was formally incarcerated and now works to create opportunities for people coming out of prison.
This interview is part of the second season of Voices of Kansas City, a project created in collaboration with KKFI Community Radio and The Kansas City Star, to highlight the experiences of Kansas Citians making an impact on the community. Season 2 of this series will highlight Black grassroots activists from the Kansas City area. Hear the interviews at 6 p.m. Wednesdays on KKFI 90.1 FM, or at KKFI.org.
