One of the best investments that we're always told about is real estate. Owning land has always been one of those generational wealth builders and so it probably makes sense for everyone to at least know of options when it comes to owning land. Sometimes, owning undeveloped land and holding onto it for a while can be a big gain and that's where my guest, Brad Warren comes in. Brad has been helping people purchase land in the LA area of California and helping those people build wealth. As with all investments though, it is incumbent on you to speak with a qualified advisor who can give you specific information as it relates to your own situation.

Spoken word is many things to many people...ranging from life itself to a cute pastime that occasionally has value when trying to seduce or vent. But spoken word is so much more...it is our soundtrack. Have you been listening? Ingrid B, founder of #OnTheBSide Entertainment, reminds us of the role poetry plays in our life & ability to weather the social storms of our times. I met Ingrid while serving as a priest in Miami. Trying to escape Coral Gables, one of my Miami brothers told me about the soul of South Florida and the Ambassador of that Soul, Ms. Ingrid B. What was crazy about that encounter was that I learned her father was also a priest in the Episcopal Diocese I was serving! So here's this PK (preacher's kid) who's head of this artistic underworld. It was incredibly compelling...to see her host & navigate an evening to a near Eucharistic joy was a thing of beauty that I had to respect. Spoken Word still Remains an Underworld Well at least for me it does...even though poetry is always present. Spoken Word rarely ever fails me. Yet how so often I fail spoken word. It's so easy for the poetic word to be shunned when facing a life that can easily seem void of beauty. When the world is filled with chaos and bigotry and hatred...when things seem hopeless...when the happenings of life render us powerless: it seems there is no beauty. But spoken word is there too..seeing what is truly ugly and conveying it with such beauty that one is compelled to hope. True hope...not that false hope. So what does spoken word have to contribute in the present socio-political climate? I #AskIngridB in this episode of Blacks with Power. Hear what she has to say and share your response!

Black Organizations are going to face a difficult time, if a few key things do not change quickly and methodically. Regardless of your political perspectives, it is undeniable that there is a combative tone between the Trump Administration and anyone who disagrees with it.

Black film presents an undeniable power expression. But there's even more power behind the scenes. John P. Wheatley is a filmmaker & producer who's worked with Gabrielle Union, T.I., Kirk Franklin, Janelle Monáe & countless others. In this episode he shares his insights on the "behind the scenes" power of Black film/production.

Black Republicans definitely get a bad rap. And sometimes that rap is deserved. Certainly after the recent Black History Listening Session, and pastors arranging sit-downs with "gang thugs" the credibility of Black Republicans is questionable. But what if there is a different rap? What if there are "alternative facts" that would allow you to connect with "woke" brothers and sisters who are Republican? Raynard Jackson isn't afraid to confront the GOP. And he's the founder of Black Americans for a Better Future, where he works to assert the position of credible Black men and women in the Party structure of the GOP. He is not one of those Black Republicans who's beholden to the Party and committed to toeing the Party line at the expense of his street cred. Rather, he's galvanizing men and women who are unapologetically Black and unapologetically Republican. And, in this episode he'll tell you more about his vision for Black Republicans and how that vision fits into the overarching agenda of Blacks in America - both Republican and Democrat. Give it a listen, then let me know what you think!
