We’ve had a number of guests who represent city commissions on this show. Today, our subject is the Commission on the Status of Black Males, a very busy board that hosts events at least six times a year, including their Outstanding Leaders of Tomorrow awards, their “Barbershop” health initiative, and the Million Father March at the beginning of each school year. Our guest is its chair, James Sanders. He’s an award winner himself: for his involvement with the Commission, he won the 2024 Be More Phenomenal Award, presented to outstanding leadership through board, commission, or committee involvement by the City of Bloomington’s Volunteer Network.
Our website is new and improving! It’s undergone a slight revamp — our Contact Us form finally works now! — and we’ve started a new series of pages on our website called Collections, in which we put together a bunch of previous episodes that have a common theme. Our first collection brings together the interviews we did in 2024 with all nine Bloomington city councilmembers. There’s no better introduction to the current city council than through our website. All that’s fodder for our new weekly newsletter, along with previews of upcoming shows and whatever else we can manage to get in there. If you’re a fan of the show, drop us your email and we’ll keep you up to date.
