Hosted By: Lesa Marie Belle As we go about our everyday lives, we encounter highs, lows, joy, sadness and various emotions as the world has a tendency to beat us up and bring us joy all at the same time.  Some of us will take the good with the bad & keep it moving. We get home and if we're lucky we have someone to vent to and discuss our hectic day with. So many of us are going through trials and tribulations, health issues, financial troubles, living from paycheck to paycheck, or with no check.   We' re faced with heartache, disappointment, loneliness, anger, and all too often we aren't able to easily shake it off or to talk about it with someone. We keep issues bottled up, maybe because we don't feel comfortable with sharing with others or we fear judgment for the issues we have or the things we're going through. Do you find yourself looking to the heavens and asking " Why me God?"  We've all been there and we all need to be restored! We're seeking answers and questioning "What is going on?"  Mind, bod

Hosted By: QueensMind and Mowfpeace Wolfhours was conceived in the mind of Shontai Ralieck George a poet ,wordsmith, barz spitter master from Brooklyn New York.

Hosted By: LaShawn Allen-Muhammad Who were the first Black Elected Officials? During the month of November, as the country gears up to re-elect or vote in the next wave of politicians, Black Reconstruction will revisit the Reconstruction era to pay homage to the Black Men who came before Obama.  During this tumultuous time, Blacks not only established townships, they also positioned themselves to be an integral part of government.    At a Glance.. In 1855, Brownhelm Township, founded by Col. Henry Brown,  gained notoriety throughout the U.S, when the township elected an African-American to government office.  The NY Syracuse Daily Journal, May 31, 1855 reported that John Mercer Langston was a fugitive slave who had been elected clerk.  Brownhelm's early residents had long been known for their strong anti-slavery stance; and Col. Henry Brown's home on the Lake Shore was often a final stop on the Underground Railroad, before reaching Canada by boat.    African-American Firsts: Government Local elected offici

(This is a rebroadcast from May 2015; “Live” broadcasts will return Aug. 3rd.) Program Title: 15 Deep & Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude  “One of the incredible truths about gratitude is that it is impossible to feel both the positive emotion of thankfulness and a negative emotion such as anger or fear at the same time.  Gratitude births only positive feelings—love, compassion, joy, and hope.  As we focus on what we are thankful for, fear, anger, and bitterness simply melt away, seemingly without effort.” –- M.J. Ryan, Attitudes of Gratitude: how to give and receive joy every day of your life. My theme for May is Gratitude Attitude my two previous programs discussed the 5 Gifts of Gratitude (Generosity, Independence, Belonging, Mastery and Wisdom). So, tonight it’s time to talk about how to get those gifts that insure emotional and spiritual wellness!  Using the wisdom and insights of M.J. Ryan, author of Attitudes of Gratitude, I’ll share 15 different ways in which gratitude can be practiced on a dai

Samiyyah Saafir-Muhammad was born Jacqueline Glover in New York City in 1951. After spending her early years in foster care, moving four times before the age of three, she settled in with her aunt, following her father’s passing. While still in elementary school Samiyyah took an interest in helping other students do well, joining “The Future Teachers’ Club” in the fifth grade. As a high school student, Samiyyah became aware her people’s struggle for freedom—witnessing civil rights demonstrations, protests, assassinations and riots—and decided she wanted to help somehow.  It was in this atmosphere that she went off to Northeastern University in Boston where she majored in Education. Her stay there was short-lived, however, as she was introduced to the teachings of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and thereafter joined the Nation of Islam. Within the Nation of Islam’s Muhammad University, Samiyyah underwent educational training and worked as a teacher’s assistant. Since 2005, Samiyyah has had the privilege of se

Though he now resides in the southern states he still has that gritty streetwise intelligence that makes him one of the most intriguing sought after figures within the poetic community. The wolfhour concept basically presents a way for everyone to tell their story. Everyone no matter what background or lifestyle, profession or trade, religious or non-religious everybody has a story to tell. The guy on the corner begging for change to the lawyer in the courtroom pleading his/her case before a judge , they all have stories to tell. You might have been driving home from work when suddenly a car crosses three lanes just to get in an accident with  you. By via of said incident you now have something to get off your chest. Well let it off!!!! We call this a vent. Venting is what the wolfhours movement prescribes if you got some stored up energy that needs

Hosted By: Harold Muhammad Harold, an eclectic and voracious reader, began his venture in the world of the written word as a child of 2 years.  Scraps of paper, candy wrappers, dictionary's right through the entire encyclopedia Britannica. Yet Harold was driven to books of the sciences. Physics, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, he met them all with great wonder and fascination. He delved into each discipline as if his very life depended upon understanding its depth. It was not until the words of The Hon. Elijah Muhammad that the essence and understanding of the sciences began to have true purpose and meaning. He said, "all there is to know is written in a book, read". Harold began his collegiate pursuit at Hampton Institute; he then forayed to Fairleigh Dickenson University. At FDU the practice of the Social Sciences, public activism, and public speaking became a trusted part of mental fabric. Harold is the husband to Celestine Muhammad, and the father of 10 extraordinary children, and 8 grandchildren. Haro

Theme for June: Higher Love Program Title: Higher Love at the Movies!  “The truth is that love is always pouring forth upon us, but our belief that the purpose of relationships is to serve our needs as we define the often blocks receptions. Asking only, “What am I getting here?” is death to love because it puts all responsibility on the other person. Asking, “What lesson is there for me to receive here?,” however, is a mystical key that unlocks your own heart. And that is our greatest need—to experience the things that make us more loving and more lovable.”                                                                                                   ? Marianne Williamson, Enchanted Love (book) p.134 Tonight, for the fifth and final broadcast supporting June’s theme of Higher Love, Jojopah will explore how Hollywood has provided “higher love” stories over the last 8 decades.  Reference will be made to the teachings of the previous broadcasts in June using 7 memorable films: Casablanca, An Affair to Rem
