Last Night A DJ Saved My Life: A Salute to Black Radio DJs

Spend the afternoon vibing with legendary and emerging Black radio DJs from Baltimore and across the DMV as they unpack the power of Black radio and its deep roots in culture, community, and advocacy. From shaping movements to amplifying unheard voices, these DJs will explore how their platforms have influenced generations—on and off the air.

The program kicks off with a Short Kuts Storytelling Presentation, where DJs take the mic to share personal stories, untold moments, and behind-the-scenes experiences that reveal how Black radio has shaped their journeys and the communities they serve.
