Friday, June 19, 2026 | 7:00 PM ET | WGXC-90.7FM | Streaming live at https://www.wgxc.org/listen
This week on RACE TALKS, host Kimberly Y. Erwin sits down with the Fields family— Lex(ington) Fields, Hayes M. Fields III, and their father Hayes M. Fields II,—hosts of the show "Various Fields." Their journey through theater, broadcasting, and cross-generational storytelling beautifully redefines what legacy, love, and resilience can look like in the Black community.
Their show doesn’t just spotlight culture and connection; it’s a living testament to presence, parenting, and the power of Black men creating and sustaining joy, together. This multigenerational dialogue explores how the family uses the power of presence and storytelling to uplift and counter negative media images of Black men.
We dive deep into the creative roots of "Various Fields"—a show born from generations of musicians, artists, and activists—and get into real talk about parenting, brotherhood, discipline, and making room for every voice at the table. If you’ve ever felt the impact of a purposeful conversation or the quiet strength of community, you will see yourself reflected here. Also, we've added a peek into their show..it is a SPECIAL addition, so stay until the end!
