One year ago, we started our "We Are Speaking" (W.A.S.) Substack publication. We published our first article on February 3, 2022. We have come a long way since then! We are proud of the fact that we now publish 9 posts over 7 days each week, including two podcast episodes.
We have subscribers from 32 states and 16 countries!
What we do: Married couple Keith and Pamela Owens speak on American History and Culture, Education, Government, Writing, Creative Businesses, SciFi, and Politics from a Black Perspective
Our weekly schedule:
Monday--an op-ed by Pam or Keith
Tuesday--an article about American History and Culture
Wednesday--an article about education in America
Wednesday--the weekly podcast "Find Out In Fifteen" episode for our Global Creative Community Branding and Marketing Academy
Thursday--an article about the United States government
Friday--an article about something fun and interesting in American culture
Saturday--the weekly podcast episode from "We Are Speaking"
Sunday--the W.A.S. weekly summary of all articles and podcast episodes from the past week.

We want to give special thanks to both our free and paid subscribers for their ongoing support and inspiration. Without you, this wouldn't be possible! Going forward, with enough support from our community, we plan to add a monthly “Ask Us Anything” live Zoom call for paid subscribers. We will add this element on the 2nd Friday of every month as soon as we have a minimum of 50 paid subscribers.
Also coming soon: each of us is going to write a book and serialize the content here on Substack, exclusively for paid subscribers. That's going to be so exciting and something new for us!
Thank you again for being part of this journey with us! We'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can continue to make our Substack publication more engaging and valuable for you. Let us know what you think!
Let us know in the comments or start a dialogue in the chat (for paid subscribers).
