KMOJ's Community Viewpoint

Losing a parent shifts your whole world. In our community, we often carry that grief quietly—still showing up, still being strong, still handling life—while our hearts are learning how to survive a loss that never really leaves us. There’s no manual for this kind of pain, no timeline for healing, and no “right way” to grieve.
Today, we’re creating space to talk about that journey. The memories, the emotions, the questions, and the strength it takes to keep going while honoring the love that raised us. This is a safe place to reflect, to breathe, and to remember that even in loss, we are not alone—and healing can happen together.

What is KMOJ's Community Viewpoint?

“KMOJ’s Community Viewpoint” is a podcast series created by KMOJ-89.9 FM Radio “The People’s Station”. These conversations explore issues and perspectives critical to the health and well-being of all members of the communities of color we serve.
Since first going “on the air” in 1976, KMOJ-89.9-FM continues its legacy as the community-oriented station located in Minneapolis, Minnesota airing a predominantly urban adult contemporary format.
“KMOJ’s Community Viewpoint” is one way the station achieves its mission of engaging, supporting and empowering Communities of Color to elevate the way of life of the people of its community and to challenge social and economic disparities, and the persistent consequences of historic racism.
The station call letters, “KMOJ” were inspired by the Swahili word “UMOJA” which means “Unity.” http://kmojfm.com/
