Black Americans make up close to 14 percent of the US population. But only about three percent of U.S. businesses are Black-owned. That’s according to the 2023 Annual Business Survey, which is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics. August is National Black Business Month, so we are spotlighting some of the Black entrepreneurs right here in Connecticut who have found success despite underrepresentation. We'll hear from the owners of a wide range of businesses— a bookstore, a construction company and a real estate development firm. GUESTS: Karin Smith: co-owner of Kindred Thoughts Bookstore, an independent, Black-owned bookstore in Bridgeport. Vincencia “Vee” Adusei: Owner and Founder of VASE Construction, which is based in New Haven. Yves Joseph: CEO and Co-Founder of RJ Development, a real estate development company based in New Haven.

It's official: Derek Dooley is the latest Republican to jump into the race to eventually challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff. The former University of Tennessee football coach joined the GOP primary and announced his campaign in a video that honored his late father, the legendary University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley. Republican strategist Brian Robinson, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and host Lisa Rayam agree: there's power in the Dooley name. But the endorsements are also rolling in for U.S. Rep. Mike Collins. Plus, Republican Janelle King sits on the State Election Board. Her husband, Kelvin King, is running for Secretary of State. Both are part of the Black Voices for Trump Coalition and have been critical of the current office and its handling of Georgia's elections. But King says she won’t surrender her position just because her husband is running, citing there’s no legal obligation for her to do so. If he wins, “that’s a different discussion,” she said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, we kick things off with Grammy-winning R&B duo Brandy and Monica, who reveal their 1998 hit “The Boy Is Mine” was inspired by a dramatic episode of The Jerry Springer Show. The legendary song, which topped the Billboard charts for 13 weeks, was intentionally crafted to spark rumors, and the duo are now reuniting both on tour and in the studio. Then, Michelle Obama speaks out to quell divorce speculation, attributing their privacy to their age “we’re 60, y’all” and emphasizing that if any serious marital issue existed, she’d address it publicly.
