Outside of KTOO, I tell stories via theatre, film and audio projects.

On this episode of Culture Rich Conversations from Juneau’s Black Awareness Association we launch Season Four and begin a new series on banned books written by Black authors. Host Christina Michelle and Producer Natasha Boozer will discuss the first book in this series, “Black Girl Dreaming,” written by Black author Jacqueline Woodson, and the decision to start the Banned Book Club by Black authors. From the theme that is rooted in Black history, to the author’s personal experience, Christina Michelle and Natasha Boozer share their thoughts and personal connections regarding both.

The Alaska Heritage Emergency Network (AHEN) has been established to build and empower Alaska’s Cultural Heritage community’s capacity, relationships, and resources to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. AHEN was created through an initiative of the Alaska State Museums, cultural organizations of Alaska, and the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHS&EM), to provide a forum where analysis and information sharing can be supported.
The group has launched a listserv and is looking for arts and culture organizations and emergency management responders from all levels across Alaska to participate at no cost. The AHEN Network will grow over time and stay connected via an online listserv with periodic presentations, training exercises, and post-disaster assistance. For more information on how to participate, or to subscribe to the Network listserv, subscribe online at https://list.state.ak.us/mailman/listinfo/AHEN or send an email to: mary.irvine@alaska.gov
