ALL REAL RADIO’S STORY
Our early history is rooted in the story of our co-founder, Zin. Zin was a true 3rd Ward- Houston artivist who helped set the stage of what community wants and needs to thrive; He was a humble and powerful Man who exemplified standards and Black/ Indigenous pride beautifully. Zin knew his history and loved the culture of Afrika, American Blackness, and that of the 3rd Ward Community. Those that knew Zin, also knew that he was a healer and mentor. Men, women, and children sought him when they needed upliftment, truth, a good story, advice, and when they had forgotten that, through their ancestry, they stand on the shoulders of giants. Zin could smile at you, poke fun at you, gift you, hug you, and invigorate you.
That feeling and truth continues to permeate in everything that All Real Radio does through music, shows, events, and collaborations.
We are proud to say that we have upheld a space online, and in the spaces where we have physically occupied, that provides safety, ease, and comfort for all who visit. We have hosted over 30 different shows over our 9 plus years that embody the hip hop and conscious culture that exists within Houston for Black, Indigenous, and original people of color. We have brought entrepreneurs closer to their goals, we have helped pack events for singers and songwriters, and have worked with those in higher education and within communities to tell stories of perseverance, resilience, ancestry and success.
All Real Radio continues with the foundation that Zin set forth and with the daily work of deniz, her business partner, Andrew Edwards Evans, an incredible photographer/ videographer and mentor, and those like minded individuals that seek to create a socially responsible city and World via our online airwaves.
