Bring It On! - November 16, 2009

Breaking news: Jesse Jackson will be the keynote guest at this year's local Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration! City special projects coordinator Craig Brenner joins us in the studio to talk about this year's celebration, the annual "A Day On! Not a Day Off" service project campaign and the grants available to local organizations who want to host volunteer service projects, nominations for the MLK Legacy Award, and the youth web design contest. Also in this program: our savvy sistah Leila Randle offers gifts of advice on a Christmas edition of "HomeGurl Shopping", featuring tips from one black woman trying to survive in today's challenging economy. Our featured musical artist is soulful R&B songstress Ledisi, with a track from her new album "Turn Me Loose" produced by Raphael Saddiq, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis. As always Bring It On! features regional and national headline news and a regional calendar highlighting events relevant to the local African-American community. Hosted by Jim Sims and Beverly Calender-Anderson.
