KMOJ's Community Viewpoint

We say “take your time to heal”—but does the world really mean it, especially for Black folks?
In this episode of The4Opinions, we’re cutting deep into the stigma around how Black people are expected to grieve, heal, and bounce back like it’s nothing. 
Whether it's the 3–5 day bereavement policy at work or family traditions that tell us to "just pray about it and keep moving," the reality is—healing doesn’t work on a schedule.
Let’s make it clear—grief and healing aren’t luxuries. They’re part of life. And for Black folks especially, it’s time we stop letting others write the rules on how long we get to feel, hurt, and rebuild

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/
