DeMaine Kitchen City Councilman, “There has to be more to a people’s existence than reactionary rallyingsagainst crime and injustice. People need good things to talk about and focus upon. However, with the exception of religious and sporting events, the African-American population in the Mahoning Valley region has painfully few family-friendly social and entertainment activities…The [Debórah] show is not a ‘reaction’ to a tragedy or a negative headline; but rather, it’s positively engaging at its very core, and it definitely fills a void. “
