When We Speak TV is so excited to share with you the great work of another guest on When We Speak TV!  Our friend, Speech Thomas' documentary, 16 Bars, is now available on Prime Video.

Inmates in Virginia attempt to transcend their cycles of addiction and incarceration through an unlikely artistic collaboration behind bars with Grammy-winning hip hop artist Todd Speech Thomas.

​The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs’ (OCA) annual ELEVATE public art festival recently partnered with Facebook to install five new murals, which are a part of this year’s festival — presented digitally on the ELEVATE website, Facebook, and YouTube from October 4 to 10.

With 2020 marking a pivotal election year, Facebook launched the “Voting is Voice” campaign and set a goal to register 4 million new voters during the largest voter drive in U.S. history. Facebook’s partnership with the OCA and ELEVATE was a natural fit as the festival will explore the concept of social justice and equity through this year’s programming.

​For the “Voting is Voice” campaign, five artists from across the U.S. created original artwork commissions in response to the prompt “Voting is Voice.” Within this theme, each artist explored voting as a powerful tool of the personal and collective voice, the importance of a diversity of voices to a healthy society, the powerful impact of personal narratives as vehicles for change, and our collective responsibility to acknowledge and amplify a broad spectrum of voices. These five murals are a part of Facebook’s push to increase voter engagement and participation during this election year.

Each mural will feature the artist’s bio, Q.R. codes, and URLs that direct viewers to Facebook and Instagram’s Voting Information Center, where they can find more information on the 2020 U.S. election and a quick and easy way to register to vote.

In addition, the murals encourage public interaction through compelling, relevant design & digital features that create multiple levels of access for every member of the community.

​Pianist, Joe Alterman addresses the generational question, "Is Jazz Dead?".

​The City of Atlanta - Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs will bring its annual ELEVATE public art festival to Atlanta’s historic West End neighborhood from Sunday, October 4 to Saturday, October 10, 2020. This year’s festival events will be virtual. 

​• Musical performances by Kebbi Williams and The Wolf Pack, The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra, Gritz and Jelly Butter, Tony Hightower, and Julie Dexter. 
​• Mural installations honoring civil rights leader Reverend James Orange and Black women activists from the West End community. 
• An online and in person voter registration event at the West End MARTA station. 
• A conversation with New York Times best-selling authors Pearl Cleage and Tayari Jones, who frequently feature Atlanta’s West End community in their work.  
• The opening of Hammonds House Museum’s exhibition Elements of A Revolution. 
• A conversation between the executive directors of Atlanta Contemporary and Les Abattoirs/Toulouse to discuss challenges of promoting art during COVID-19, issues of gender equality and racism in their field. Since 1974 Atlanta and Toulouse have been Sister Cities. 
• A screening of the stirring new documentary, “John Lewis: Good Trouble,” an intimate account of the legendary U.S. Representative’s life, legacy, and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism.

​We have known Shameia and her Grammy winning producer husband, Michael, for some years now....You may remember that Shameia has been featured on our What Do YOU Speak? segment.   

....You may remember when When We Speak TV made an appearance in her music video, Hold On To That Feeling

....or maybe her voice sounds familiar to you because she is the female voice on Ice Cube's song Streets Shed Tears.

​​Singer, Shameia Crawford, believes that you have to give yourself the best results.

​Shameia Crawford is featured on Ice Cube's new song, Streets Shed Tears.  She has released music of her own and has sang background for other great singers like Angie Stone, so now to be featured with Ice Cube is a great achievement.  

We are definitely holding on to this feeling!  We can not stop playing and dancing to Shameia Crawford's new video for her song "Hold On To That Feeling"!  Look closely and you will see some very familiar faces!!!!
