Founded in 1999 and formerly known as Sigaw ng Bayan, Radyo Kapwa is an inclusive Filipino/a/x community and cultural radio show that celebrates the diversity and difference of people with roots to the Philippines. With three historical colonial invasions, multiple waves of migration worldwide, and over 7000 islands, we recognize and honour that Filipino/a/x/s are not a monolith. We provide a wide range of programming, music, and discussion topics to reflect this diversity.

Radyo Kapwa aims to share their platform with grassroots community organisers and organisations, as well as interviews with inspiring members of our community. Our framework is based on values rooted in decolonization, and restorative and transformative justice. Our mission is to create an anti-patriarchal, anti-racist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, faith inclusive, non-ableist, trauma-informed space.

March 1, 2023: Ep. 31: Sandra Mouafo, Writer, Essayist, Program Coordinator & EDI Coordinator in Concordia Student Union

To finish off Black History Month yesterday and to welcome the month of March as Women’s History Month for our neighbouring country down the South we are pleased to cede our mic to Sandra Mouafo for today’s guest. Sandra is a writer, essayist, program coordinator, EDI coordinator in Concordia Student Union. For today’s broadcast, we talked beyond our generic questions of what does Black History Month mean to the Black community and what can we do as non-Black racialised. Our conversations intersected with experiences and struggles as women, mothers, big sisters, allies to other communities, care providers and cultural bearers in a spiritual way.

You can read Sandra’s essays/articles written for The Link, an independent, student-run, not-for-profit multi-media publication at Concordia University in Montréal, Québec. Please see the link below:
