Pull up a chair…
it’s time for real talk
Real Talk with OVOV is a multimedia platform that explores the issues shaping our communities through honest, thought-provoking conversations. Centered on community, education, politics, and culture, our mission is to build collective power through dialogue, connection, and informed conversation.
What makes Real Talk with OVOV different from other political podcasts?
Real Talk with OVOV is not your typical political podcast. We go beyond the headlines, talking to the people behind the titles and community leaders to explore the experiences, values, culture, and stories that shape how they lead. From politics and policy to identity, community, and everyday life, Real Talk with OVOV creates honest, engaging conversations that make politics personal, relatable, and accessible. Because behind every decision-maker is a story—and that story matters.
Real Talk with Amber Rivera
Bronx native. Proud Phoenician. Fearless interviewer.
Real Talk with OVOV is hosted by Political and Advocacy Director Amber Rivera, a seasoned organizer and community advocate with more than a decade of experience in politics, advocacy, and grassroots organizing.
Amber doesn’t shy away from the tough questions, the uncomfortable conversations, or the hot topics people are already talking about. She brings curiosity, authenticity, and a community-first perspective to every conversation—because she believes real change starts with listening to the people and understanding what matters most to the communities we serve.
No political fluff. No scripted talking points. Just real people, real stories, and Real Talk.
