Insight Pt. 2: Justice for Wyleek Tinsley, Evoluer House, AACR and Breast Cancer

from Philadelphia Community Podcast

On this edition of Insight, we examine three important issues impacting our communities: justice and accountability, youth empowerment, and the fight against cancer disparities. First, we discuss the growing community movement seeking justice for 19-year-old Wyleek Tinsley, who was fatally shot by Abington Township police officers inside his home on March 6, 2025. Joining us are Wyleek's brother, Jahvonn Brooks and Tyree Wallace, Founder and CEO of Systemic Reformative Change (SRC). They share details about the #JusticeForWyleekTinsley campaign, the family's call for transparency and accountability, ongoing organizing efforts, and broader conversations around police accountability, public trust, and systemic reform. Learn more at www.srcnow.org and follow the campaign using #JusticeForWyleekTinsley. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-systemic-reformative-change-foundation https://www.instagram.com/justiceforwyleek/  Next, we turn our attention to empowering young women with Cheryl Wadlington, founder of Evoluer House and creator of Holistic Me, a free virtual summer workshop series for girls ages 13 to 18. Running June 22 through August 21, the program offers more than 25 workshops focused on wellness, financial literacy, leadership development, personal safety, college preparation, and career readiness. Cheryl discusses the challenges facing teen girls today and how Holistic Me is helping participants build confidence and prepare for the future. For registration and information, visit www.evoluerhouse.org and follow Evoluer House on social media.  Finally, we speak with Dr. Clayton Yates, John R. Lewis Endowed Professor and Director for Translational Health Disparities and Global Health Equity Research at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Dr. Yates discusses cancer disparities, groundbreaking research, and the importance of investing in health equity. The conversation comes as WDAS-FM prepares for the 9th Annual Sista Strut 3K Breast Cancer Walk on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Stateside Live in Philadelphia. Sista Strut raises awareness about breast cancer in women of color and supports lifesaving research through the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
