Production for this show was done by SSU students LaChrista Nelson, Melvina Sykes (host), and Sierra Walton.
The Writers’ Way, a Write Attitude Radio Show, spotlights the Deep Center: March 30, 2016
Today we celebrate the Deep Center, a nonprofit organization founded in 2008 to address the negative impact of poverty on literacy here in Savannah. Deep organizes free writing workshops in local public schools, serving around 300 kids each year through their Young Authors Project—which runs in 14 middle schools in Savannah—and their advanced Block by Block program—which serves students aged 12-18 and runs all year round.
For today’s show we bring you interviews with the Deep staff, with Deep Writing Fellows, and with two young writers who currently participate in the Block by Block program, having previously graduated from the Young Authors Project. Additionally, throughout the show we will play for you excerpts from the Deep Speaks! Event held on February 23, 2016, in which dozens of students read their work to a packed audience in the historic Savannah Theatre.
SSU participants who have volunteered with the Deep Center: Shaniqua Brown (student), Dr. Chad Faries (faculty), Dr. Dustin Michael (faculty), Dr. Kameelah Martin (faculty), Dr. Lisa Yount (faculty), and Nikki Rech (staff).
This show features two internationally-known scholars who study and write about different cultures, and who each talk about the development of cultural literacy as an essential component of education in today’s global community. The first part of our show will include an interview with Dr. Ali Asani, who discusses the importance of cultural and religious literacy as a means toward honoring diversity and fostering coexistence.
The latter part of today’s show features an interview with Dr. Antonio D. Tillis, who talks about his work studying and writing about Afro-Hispanic literature, and the value of foreign language study and engagement with different cultures. Both scholars visited Savannah State in 2015 to give talks and meet with students as part of a free lecture series sponsored by the Office of the Quality Enhancement Plan.
The Write Attitude Poetry in the Air spotlights Nikki Giovanni: Feb. 25, 2015
This show focuses on one of the best known and most widely read contemporary poets, Nikki Giovanni. We dive further into her work through a combination of poems read by Nikki Giovanni, herself, poems by Giovanni read by Savannah State University members, and excerpts from an interview conducted by our student that Nikki Giovanni gave while visiting Savannah State University in 2014. Dr. Kameelah Martin reads two of Giovanni’s poems.
