She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

Someone even suggested calling them the Cansecos after then-Oakland A’s slugger Jose Canseco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a young man up in Vancouver B.C. who submitted 250 names, and he said one of these names has to be the one you’re going to select,” Levine said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top 15 suggestions, in alphabetical order, were: Blades, Breakers, Breeze, Condors, Fog, Gold, Golden Gaters, Golden Skaters, Grizzlies, Icebreakers, Knights, Redwoods, Sea Lions, Sharks and Waves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most common name suggested was the Blades, but it didn’t fit Levine’s criteria. It wasn’t that exciting, and they found in focus groups that people associated it more with gangs than with ice skating. So they moved onto the second most suggested name: Sharks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With an exciting name in tow, now it was time to work on a logo.\u003cbr>\n[baycuriousbug]\u003cbr>\nWorking with a graphic designer, Levine and the team came up with the concept of a Shark coming out of a triangle. That’s when Levine remembered that the Bay Area is part of the so-called Red Triangle that is home to a high number of great white sharks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So all of a sudden the shark, the triangle had a reason,” Levine said, “and we can have the shark coming out of the triangle.” As an added bonus, the triangle could also represent the three largest cities in the Bay Area: San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMIb7fMQ768\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

I was already living in a world that told me my short, kinky hair as a dark skinned black girl was not OK. And the little bit of not OK hair I had was also missing in some places. That shame really baked in the notion that I was inherently flawed. I wore weaves and wigs from the time I was in seventh grade until about six years ago. One day I realized, ‘I wake up every day and tell people to love themselves unapologetically, and I won’t leave my bedroom without a wig.’ I was like, ‘what’s the scariest thing I can do to get over this giant hair shame?’ Challenge the belief that I can’t be beautiful because of my hair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On her poem, The Body is Not an Apology, which later became the name of her organization and her book:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7lKPdh_y-8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was a slam poet with a team of folks in Knoxville, TN, competing for the Southern Fried poetry slam.

So I asked her what made her decide to have unprotected sex with this person that she wasn’t into in a serious way. She was transformatively vulnerable with me in sharing that her disability made it difficult for her to be sexual. She didn’t feel entitled to ask this person to use a condom. What came out of me was, ‘your body is not an apology.

I was already living in a world that told me my short, kinky hair as a dark skinned black girl was not OK. And the little bit of not OK hair I had was also missing in some places. That shame really baked in the notion that I was inherently flawed. I wore weaves and wigs from the time I was in seventh grade until about six years ago. One day I realized, ‘I wake up every day and tell people to love themselves unapologetically, and I won’t leave my bedroom without a wig.’ I was like, ‘what’s the scariest thing I can do to get over this giant hair shame?’ Challenge the belief that I can’t be beautiful because of my hair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On her poem, The Body is Not an Apology, which later became the name of her organization and her book:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/B7lKPdh_y-8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/B7lKPdh_y-8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>“I was a slam poet with a team of folks in Knoxville, TN, competing for the Southern Fried poetry slam.

The idea is to conjure and interrogate the world purely from one's own perspective. Historically, most mainstream movies about the African-American experience, he said, are about slavery and trauma, about the wounds of the past. There is a power in imagining yourself outside of that, Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see what an Arab-American story is without white supremacy involved, without having to be labeled a terrorist. I want to see that story,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see a woman’s story not having to contend with misogyny,\" Taylor said. \"I want to see a queer story not having to contend with homophobia, when you do these kind of cultural speculations, you get such beautiful and rich stories without always having to have double consciousness involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the power to speculate about a world without white supremacy makes that world, that self, feel possible. And that creates not a retreat, but a way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor admits that people still have to contend with reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the technologically superior Wakanda, “technology elevates everybody,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor knows that does not carry over to the world we live in. “Oakland is kind of like the anti-Wakanda,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is because technology here is fueling gentrification and the displacement of Oakland’s historic black population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is one reason activist Malkia Cyril said seeing the film is not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At screenings, Cyril will also be talking, engaging in conversations.

So black experience is science fiction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Black existence in America is science fiction.

The idea is to conjure and interrogate the world purely from one's own perspective. Historically, most mainstream movies about the African-American experience, he said, are about slavery and trauma, about the wounds of the past. There is a power in imagining yourself outside of that, Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see what an Arab-American story is without white supremacy involved, without having to be labeled a terrorist. I want to see that story,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to see a woman’s story not having to contend with misogyny,\" Taylor said. \"I want to see a queer story not having to contend with homophobia, when you do these kind of cultural speculations, you get such beautiful and rich stories without always having to have double consciousness involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor said the power to speculate about a world without white supremacy makes that world, that self, feel possible. And that creates not a retreat, but a way forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor admits that people still have to contend with reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the technologically superior Wakanda, “technology elevates everybody,” Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor knows that does not carry over to the world we live in. “Oakland is kind of like the anti-Wakanda,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is because technology here is fueling gentrification and the displacement of Oakland’s historic black population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is one reason activist Malkia Cyril said seeing the film is not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At screenings, Cyril will also be talking, engaging in conversations. Cyril will be telling people about the \u003ca href=\"https://www.colorlines.com/articles/16-black-panthers-still-behind-bars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Panther Party members still behind bars\u003c/a>.
