50 cent, le rappeur aux 30 millions d'abonnés sur Instagram, star américaine interprète des tubes Candy Shop et P.I.MP, a célébré ses 48 ans en 2023. Ce qui ne l'empêche pas de rentrer dans des jeux d'enfants pour embêter son confrère le dénommé Ja Rule, 47 ans en 2023, interprète notamment du très célèbre ‘Always on time' en duo avec Ashanti. Curtis James Jackson, a.k.a 50 cent, est maître en coups bas dans le monde du rap, et c'est Jeffrey Atkins, a.k.a Ja Rule qui en a fait les frais. Au départ, comme dans toutes les bonnes histoires, une embrouille. Tous les deux originaires de New York, les deux rappeurs sont en froid depuis 1999. Alors que Ja Rule enregistre à cette époque son clip ‘Murda 4 Life', il se fait braquer par un membre de l'entourage de 50 cent, qui lui vole sa chaine. C'est le point de départ d'années de bastons, piques et autres punchlines acerbes via leurs chansons ou réseaux respectifs. Et ensuite, que s'est-il passé ? Et existe-t-il des cas similaires en France ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture". Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Carole Beaudouin.

“Most youth say THE government. They don't say OUR government. Or they say THE schools. They don't say OUR school. Or they say THE house. They don't feel connection. A lot of the autonomy from young people is being taken. The access is being suppressed. A lot of times youth are doing it without help and despite the system and despite the programs that be, because they had to do it on their own.” - Jamarria Hall Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Jamarria Hall.

Today I am joined by Ashanti Branch for Act 2 of our conversation, and almost immediately, we explore the genesis of the "Million Mask Movement," a powerful initiative aimed at helping individuals unmask their true selves and fostering empathy. Ashanti shares deeply personal stories, revealing the challenges he faced during a workshop and the wake-up call that fueled his commitment to continuous growth. As we journey through Ashanti's experiences at the Kennedy Center and his reflections on receiving the Surgeon General's medallion, we witness the humility and dedication that define his work, and before wrapping up our conversation, Ashanti leaves us with a profound reminder that the movement is not just about reaching a million masks; it's about creating a world where people feel seen and valued, fostering empathy on a global scale.Bio: Mr. Branch, born and raised by a single mother on welfare in Oakland, California, took the road less traveled to get out of the ghetto and attended one of California's premier engineering colleges, California Polytechnic - San Luis Obispo. Ashanti studied Civil Engineering and worked as a construction project manager in his first career. After tutoring struggling students and realizing his true passion was teaching, Mr. Branch changed careers. He had suddenly found the “fire” that was missing in his life and he hoped to ignite a similar enthusiasm in his young students.In 2004 as a first year teacher, Ashanti started The Ever Forward Club to provide a support group for African American and Latino males, who were not achieving to the level of their potential. Since then, The Ever Forward Club has grown to serve both young men and women and become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Ever Forward Club has helped 100% of its members graduate high school and 93% of them have gone on to attend college.With over 19 years mentoring youth and 10 of those years as a math teacher educating inner city youth, Ashanti was awarded with a Fulbright Exchange Fellowship to India, a Rotary Club Cultural Ambassadorial Fellowship to Mexico and a 2010 Teacher of the Year Award from the Alameda-Contra Costa County Math Educators.Mr. Branch is on a mission to change the way that students interact with their education and the way schools interact with students.Website: https://everforwardclub.org/ashanti-branch-bioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/

“I had a car crash where I was lucky to survive. My best friend was in the car, and we were very fortunate we didn't die. It was a period where I was very off the rails and I was using alcohol to cope - a drunk driving incident where the whole car was crushed in half. It became the biggest news story in the country.” - Nick Bracks Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Nick Bracks. Growing up in one of the most famous political families in Australia, Nick was exposed to life in the public eye since he was 12 years old. Struggling to cope with depression and anxiety through substance abuse, Nick first gained notoriety in his early 20s through a publicly documented car crash that nearly killed himself and his best friend. The drunk driving incident became a catalyst for Nick to turn his life around, exposing his mental health issues and allowing him to get the help he desperately needed. Since then, Nick has developed a successful public speaking career dedicated to de-stigmatizing mental illness through storytelling. (0:55) Ashanti's introduction.

“When I noticed that an educator had expectations for me or wanted me to succeed, or believed that I could succeed, I actually worked harder in those classes. For the educators and teachers who said, ‘I really care about you, I see your potential,' those are the classes I actually worked hard in because I wanted to do it not just for me but for the educators themselves and those who believed in me.” - Justin Black Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Justin Black.

“I'm really really anxious, like, off the charts anxious. In my head, it's the Tasmanian Devil. It is spinning and spinning. If you've ever seen the cartoon, whenever he stops to say something it's unintelligible. It's just, ‘blah blah blah blah.' And then he spins off. And that's what it feels like in my head. But people don't see that. They see this calm, confident, semi-put-together person on the outside.” - Zach Tucker Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Jeremy Grater and Zach Tucker. Jeremy and Zach host the podcast The Fit Mess. The Fit Mess is in direct alignment with how Jeremy and Zach identify, as two vulnerable guys who have made extraordinary efforts to improve their own lives and want to help others clear a path to better wellness.

“It's hard to be the last strong pillar in a breaking-down house. It's really challenging. Sometimes you just have to understand that the house is breaking down. And it's always okay to rebuild.” - Theo Coker-Edwards Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Theo Coker-Edwards. Theo is a college athlete based in Albany, New York. And in Alameda, as a high schooler, he started and ran his own restorative justice program. IT NEEDS TO BE SAID, Theo is a college freshman who's mature beyond his years; he is WISE. Please enjoy his thoughts on “the self”, conflict resolution, humility, and his mother - of course. What's beautiful about Theo is that he understands both his vulnerabilities and his privileges. This came from a lot of self-reflection, and readings of spiritual texts like the Rastafari Bible. And as a result his honesty and self-awareness, his groundedness, is magnetic.
