Port of Harlem Talk Radio interviews a range of doers including artist and leather craftsmen Marvin Sin and most recently political professional Douglas Wilson.  While Sin regrets that he did not earlier channel his income to Africa, he is working on doing that now.  He tells us how. Wilson, on the other hand, recognizes that people make choices he may not agree with, but he is working toward getting more Black men to vote in response to the Supreme Court’s Roe decision.

Sin added that his earn income from his art is “based on African spirituality and creativity,” and he wants to see that more of it goes to Africa where it can do “more good.”  He is correcting this situation now by creating a system where he can employ people in Ghana, a low-cost labor community, instead of any of its competitors including China and Vietnam.

In a panAfrican cooperative effort, the African American is working with a Bahamian to transfer his production to Ghana, the Black Star Republic. “Suppliers have been identified and we just need to ramp up the system,” he says updating POH on his plans.  “We found two excellent sources of leather there,” he continued as he explained that it takes time to identify and connect the raw goods and labor. 

Clients often call Douglas Wilson“ghost.”  He one of those people who stay behind winning political campaigns. With Obama historic primary campaign, he is most proud with helping with “creating a community of leaders” such a phone bank leader who “is still engaged” today.

As a seasoned political professional, Douglas Wilson talks about the value personal stories, a tool often used to selling products. He and Port of Harlem publisher Wayne Young talk about the relationship between marketing in products and political campaigns. He adds, “we sell people people’s ideas to other people.” We also focus on why 12 to 15 percent of Black men voted for Donald Trump and how Democrats can get Black males to react to the Supreme Court’s Roe decision.
