About Civic Cipher

Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show created to foster allyship for social justice. Hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward, this show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to engage directly with diverse populations across the country. Self-determination is critical to securing a future free of oppressive systems, and Civic Cipher exists to facilitate discussions toward this end. Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.

Nicole Mikhael Discusses Reconstruction After Cancer (Part 1 of 2)

Published 17 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And so the mission of my nonprofit is to pay it forward. And it can be something as minor as, you know, if someone has skin cancer on their face and it left the indentation and they have to pay for filler every few months, insurance isn't going to cover that. And so that's when I would love to step in to be able to pay it forward and help pay for these procedures that insurance typically doesn't cover so that when you are by yourself alone, and you have to walk by a mirror or see yourself with lights on, you can feel confident because I know that that's something that I struggled with for a really long time, I used to shower with the lights off.
