Description

Media Personality, TV/Radio Host, Producer and Videographer Kareem 'Reem'o Meerak' Tyson joins Christopher Albert in the Radio Free Brooklyn studio for a special MLK Day episode of the Junk and Jam Hour.

'Reem'o' discusses his many media ventures, including his successful hit series, "ReemTV", now in its sixth season, and a film-festival favorite as part of The Meerak Brand Productions; as well as being the co-host of City Rok Radio.

We talk about his platform, which strives to uplift, highlight and put a spotlight on the local Hip-Hop community and events, and the prospects of expanding it to the West coast; as well as the importance of being able to amplify the voices of the unheard and underserved in the media - particularly black voices.

With 'perseverence' being his major theme, Reem'o and I also talk in detail about the significance of inspiring and supporting young black men, as well as ensuring that black women know their importance in a world that often discounts their existence.

It is MLK Day after all - and Christopher makes it a point to underscore the legacy and contributions of Martin Luther King, Jr., especially granting more civil rights to not just Afro-Americans, but to people with disabilities, the poor, and to women of all colors as well.

Reemo'o lends his voice to the Junk and Jam Hour segment,
Not So Fake Really Weird News – MLK JR DAY EDITION, and hurriedly tries to answer some questions in a pecial Black Card Revoked quiz, just before we run out of time.
