Did you miss the live Radio Rootz broadcast from the Express Yourself! Youth Media Festival? Good thing we recorded it. The student-led broadcast streamed youth performances and the young
hosts interviewed youth performers and festival organizers. The Radio
Rootz broadcast, Sound Beat, includes original songs, hip hop and spoken
word performances. Youth-to-youth interviews discuss the meaning of
art, media, and community engagement. Listen now.
