Civic Cipher
Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward. This show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to engage directly with their communities as well as the general population. Self-determination is critical to securing a future free of oppressive systems, and Civic Cipher exists to facilitate discussions toward this end. Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.

In the first part of our show, we discuss the Black women making headlines as prominent, fearless leaders in this country today. We shine a light on Shalanda Young as she speaks from the White House, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Leticia James, and Californias newest senator, Laphonza Butler.
In the second half of our show, we discuss the comments we receive on social media and offer rebuttals to the same tired talking points often used by folks who seem dead-set on opposing progress made by Black people.
Our Way Black History Fact covers the many artists that Elvis Presley emanated, stole from, and copied in order to complete his style, sound, and artistry.
