Scribe Podcast

Scribe is a podcast from Kingmakers of Oakland that celebrates the brilliance, legacy, and impact of Black authors, writers, poets, filmmakers, and cultural thinkers. Through thoughtful, intergenerational conversations, Scribe explores the power of reading, literacy, storytelling, and the written word in shaping Black history, identity, and liberation. Each episode brings together acclaimed authors, educators, artists, scholars, and young people to discuss books, ideas, and the stories that continue to influence our communities. From James Baldwin and Toni Morrison to emerging voices of today, Scribe creates a space where generations learn from one another and where literacy is celebrated as a tool for empowerment, imagination, and social change. Whether you're a lifelong reader, an aspiring writer, an educator, or someone discovering Black literature for the first time, Scribe invites you into the conversation. Le
