Old Hillside Bourbon is a premium spirits brand co-founded by Emmanuel J. Waters, built on the history of Black Wall Street, the forgotten Black jockeys of the Kentucky Derby, and Durham's entrepreneurial tradition. The brand entered into a $40 billion industry where African Americans represent 12% of consumers but less than 1% of ownership. In this episode, Donald Thompson sits down with Emmanuel J. Waters, CEO and co-founder of Old Hillside Bourbon, to unpack how a brand rooted in Black Wall Street, the Kentucky Derby's forgotten Black jockeys, and Durham's rich entrepreneurial history is winning gold medals, breaking distribution records, and building something far bigger than a bottle.Episode Long DescriptionOld Hillside Bourbon was never supposed to work. Bourbon experts told the founders not to launch in North Carolina, one of the hardest control states in the country. African Americans spend nearly $3 billion in alcohol annually and own less than 1% of alcohol companies. Emmanuel had never tasted bourbon before co-founding the company. Then they held their first bottle signing in Durham. The line wrapped around the building. People bought six, seven, eight bottles at a time. They sold 50 cases in a single day, breaking a record in the state they were told would kill their brand.In this episode of High Octane Leadership, Donald Thompson and Emmanuel J. Waters dig into what happens when a brand is built on something more powerful than marketing: a story worth telling. From the history of Black Wall Street in Durham to the forgotten Black jockeys who built the Kentucky Derby, Old Hillside is using bourbon as a medium to recover and celebrate the American stories that have been systematically erased. And along the way, they are winning double gold medals at the largest spirits competition in the world.In Episode 186 of High Octane with Donald Thompson, Waters and Thompson discuss what happens when a brand is built on story rather than marketing spend. The most durable competitive advantage is a story nobody else can tell. Old Hillside Bourbon is the proof.Key Talking Points:History, Heritage, and Homage: How Old Hillside Bourbon built its entire brand strategy around three pillars that no legacy competitor can replicate. The Economics of Black Entrepreneurship: Emmanuel breaks down what that gap costs communities and how to close it.The Durham Moment: How selling 300 bottles in a state they were told would kill their brand became the proof of concept that changed everything.The Gold Medal Standard: Why Old Hillside entered the largest spirits competition in the world, what winning a double gold medal proved, and what it means to compete not as the best Black-owned bourbon but as the best bourbon period.The Invisible Generals Project: How Old Hillside is honoring the first Black father and son duo in American military history with a limited edition bottle that turns history into a collectible.Chapter Markers00:00 - Intro: Emmanuel J.

Emmanuel's Case for Entrepreneurship35:00 - The Invisible Generals Project: Honoring the First Black Father and Son Military Duo38:00 - How to Connect with Emmanuel J. Waters and Old Hillside BourbonAbout the GuestEmmanuel J. Waters is the CEO and co-founder of Old Hillside Bourbon, a premium spirits brand rooted in the history, heritage, and homage of Black American excellence. A military brat who grew up in Japan and Europe before building a successful career in Silicon Valley's tech industry, Emmanuel came to bourbon not as a lifelong enthusiast but as a storyteller who recognized that the spirits industry was missing the most compelling stories in American history. Under his leadership, Old Hillside has won gold and double gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the largest spirits competition in the world, broken distribution records in one of the country's hardest control states, and built a brand that ships to 49 states and is carried in Whole Foods, Total Wine, and BevMo locations across California. Emmanuel is proof that the best brands are not built on marketing budgets. They are built on stories worth telling.Resources:Donald Thompson LinkedInDonald's Books: https://donaldthompson.com/books-resources/Emmanuel J.

Boston's Roxbury neighborhood once thrived as a center of Black entrepreneurship through systemic struggles, and for decades, it was known as its own “Black Wall Street.” The stories of the neighborhood are being given new life in a documentary called "The Way We Were", showcasing oral histories of Roxbury's Black business owners and families that made the neighborhood so successful. It's all part of a greater research and storytelling effort that's being led by Marie Firmin, CEO of Black Biz Dev. She joins the show this week to share details about the documentary and an upcoming event on Martha's Vineyard, along with Crystal Christmas-Thompson, who was interviewed for the film.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drawing on reflections from last week's experiences in Tulsa, this session of In Class With Carr traces relationships between roots of memory and community and contemporary branches of interventions, struggle and renewal. Beginning with the annual soil collection ritual at Greenwood's Standpipe Hill, we consider Greenwood as one of countless other “Little Africas” that expand Governance formations to include honored ancestors and fuel Social Structure transformation work with the Momentum of Memory. Through the words of founders of “Black Wall Street” and those who have preserved them and who continue to serve as Djalis, we explore issues of narrative, class, and public memory. By connecting local Cultural Meaning Making and Movement and Memory to Governance designed to also resist external shaping by Social Structure forces with sometimes cross intent, we ask questions of movement building, emphasizing generosity, honesty, and learning across all contexts.Are you a member of Knarrative?

In 1921, more than 300 people were massacred, thousands were left homeless, and an entire town was destroyed when people turned on their fellow citizens—in the United States of America. Which raises an important question: What kind of person would do that? The answer is surprising. Join Pastor John Bradshaw on location in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as we look at the challenge faced by every person: the sinful heart.

Pāj Turner is proving just that. Driven by his own experiences and a desire to uplift underserved communities, Pāj is crafting a cinematic world that goes beyond entertainment. His film project, The Emancipation of Limits, tells a powerful, multifaceted story deeply rooted in personal experience.The idea for the project originated during the pandemic, when Pāj wrote a novel of the same title in just four months. He described the film as an evolution of his book that interweaves themes of resilience, crime, and hope. With a military background spanning 28 years, Pāj explained that the protagonist's story reflects elements of his own life, particularly his commitment to community building and his desire to recreate Black Wall Street.“I wanted to create something that had more of a story than just one person getting rich,” Pāj shared. “This character gives his profits to his community to rebuild, to create jobs and opportunity—ultimately to restore Black Wall Street.”What started as a book evolved into a concept film after a trailer of the novel garnered over 400,000 views on Facebook. Encouraged by this response, Pāj learned screenwriting, took acting classes, and collaborated with other creatives to bring his vision to life.This story is not only compelling but timely. Through regulated crowdfunding, Pāj has chosen to retain ownership of his intellectual property while creating opportunities for the community to directly invest in and benefit from the project. “Crowdfunding is a great way to keep hold of your intellectual property while also benefiting the people you aim to serve,” he explained.With The Emancipation of Limits, Pāj combines his creativity, military precision, and unwavering commitment to purpose. He's made it possible for anyone to join his journey by investing in the film via a crowdfunding platform.By supporting this project, investors have the unique opportunity to not only fund a meaningful artistic endeavor but also to be part of a movement that amplifies historically underrepresented perspectives and builds cultural and economic momentum.tl;dr:Military veteran A. Pāj Turner shares his journey from service to filmmaker, blending strategy and creativity.His film, The Emancipation of Limits, explores themes of crime, community, and rebuilding Black Wall Street.Pāj is raising funds via regulated crowdfunding on CineBlock Films to retain ownership and empower supporters.Drawing from personal experiences, the film authentically reflects his life and military accomplishments.Pāj credits his success to “strategic vision” and encourages pursuing one's purpose with full commitment.How to Develop Strategic Vision As a SuperpowerPāj's military career provided him with a keen ability to see the path to success clearly. He described his superpower as “strategic vision,” an innate capability to identify goals and map out precise steps to achieve them. “I know how to see something and see all the intricacies of what it'll take for me to get there,” he explained. Combined with his creativity, this enables him to transform ideas into reality, as he demonstrated with his ongoing film project, The Emancipation of Limits. For Pāj, strategic vision is intertwined with a deep sense of purpose.Pāj recounted his time in Belize, where he worked to support the Belizean forces in drug interdiction operations. During one mission, his team coordinated efforts to intercept a drug boat under the cover of darkness, based entirely on strategic intelligence received from the Pentagon. Though Pāj, as a U.S. service member, could not directly engage in the local Belizean tactics, his role in planning and enabling the mission informed the palpable sense of strategy depicted in his film, which prominently features elements of this real experience.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Discover Your Purpose: Reflect on your passions and align your actions with your broader life goals.Plan with Clarity: Write down goals and systematically outline steps to accomplish them.Combine Action with Adaptability: Once you commit, pursue your vision without hesitation, but stay flexible in execution.Draw from Experience: Use personal stories and professional expertise as inspiration for your creative endeavors.Commit Fully: Pāj advises, “You have to be 110% in it, or it's not going to come out like you expect.”By following Pāj's example and advice, you can make strategic vision a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kevin Cohee.Title: Owner, Chairman & CEO of OneUnited BankHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations Masterclass Kevin Cohee discusses the mission, history, and future of OneUnited Bank, the largest Black‑owned bank and the first Black‑owned internet bank in the U.S. The conversation connects Black economic history, financial literacy, technology (AI), and wealth-building, positioning OneUnited Bank as a modern solution to long‑standing financial exclusion in Black and underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The interview is designed to: Educate listeners on why Black-owned banks matter historically and economically. Explain how technology has transformed banking, making location irrelevant. Address financial exclusion, particularly reliance on check-cashing services. Promote financial literacy as the foundation of wealth creation. Position OneUnited Bank as a practical, accessible tool for individuals, entrepreneurs, and communities to build equity. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. A Mission Rooted in Black History Kevin Cohee frames OneUnited Bank as part of a long historical vision, not a modern trend. Leaders such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all advocated for a national Black-owned bank. Cohee’s own family legacy ties back to Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, including land ownership stemming from negotiated “40 acres and a mule” outcomes. Takeaway: Economic independence has always been central to Black progress. 2. From Brick-and-Mortar to Digital Banking OneUnited originally grew by acquiring small Black-owned banks nationwide. The bank pivoted early toward technology-driven banking, recognizing that: Customers expect 24/7 access Physical branches are no longer required Digital reach enables national—and global—impact Key insight: Technology allowed OneUnited to become a national Black bank without national branches. 3. Financial Technology Built for Real-Life Problems Kevin Cohee emphasizes that OneUnited designs products around how people actually live, not just traditional banking norms. Examples include: Second-chance checking accounts Emergency small-dollar loans Alternative credit criteria Nationwide surcharge-free ATM access AI-powered tools that help users understand: Cash flow Assets vs. liabilities Net worth (or debt) Financial decision-making in real time Takeaway: Banking should help people function—not punish them for past mistakes. 4. Financial Literacy Is the Real Wealth Gap Cohee states that 90% of Americans are financially illiterate, largely because: Financial literacy is not taught in K–12 education He compares this to not teaching reading—and then blaming people for illiteracy. OneUnited uses AI and data aggregation to help customers make expert-level decisions without being experts. Key message: Financial literacy, not income alone, determines long-term wealth. 5. Ending Dependence on Check-Cashing Services Kevin sharply criticizes high-fee check-cashing businesses that dominate underserved neighborhoods. OneUnited offers digital check deposits, debit cards, and ATM access—removing the need for physical branches. Anyone, anywhere in the U.S., can bank with OneUnited via oneunited.com. Takeaway: Lack of access is no longer an excuse—awareness is the missing link. 6. Technology as the New “40 Acres” Kevin draws a powerful parallel: Land ownership was once the primary source of wealth. Technology and financial literacy are today’s equivalents. Entrepreneurs no longer need to manufacture products—branding, distribution, and digital reach are the new leverage. Key insight: Technology levels the playing field—if people understand how to use it. 7. Mandatory Financial Literacy as a Policy Solution Kevin advocates for required financial literacy courses in all U.S. schools. He cites research showing: One required high-school financial literacy course can generate $100,000+ in lifetime net worth per student. He frames this as a matter of equity, not preference. Takeaway: Systemic problems require systemic solutions. Notable Quotes “The concept of a national Black-owned bank goes all the way back to slavery.” “We’re not behind in technology—we are the party.” “Ninety percent of Americans are not financially literate.” “You don’t have to go to check cashers and get ripped off.” “Technology is the new 40 acres.” “Financial literacy alone can generate over $100,000 in net worth per person.” “There has never been a better time to build a business than right now.” Overall Impact This interview is both a financial masterclass and a historical lesson. Kevin Cohee reframes banking as a tool of empowerment, not just transactions, and positions OneUnited Bank as: A modern solution to historic exclusion A technology-first institution built for underserved communities A catalyst for financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation Final message: Access + education + technology can finally close the racial wealth gap—if people choose to engage. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In Class With Carr 325 comes live from Justice for Greenwood's weekend of rituals marking the 120th anniversary of Tulsa Oklahoma's Greenwood District, where the memory and residue of “Black Wall Street” illuminates irreconcilable questions of violence, self-determination, and state power. We discuss nation-state's monopolies on violence, restrictions on movement, and how Africans and indigenous communities continue to resist in pursuit of freedom. In many ways, stories of Tulsa and Greenwood present as a microcosm of the US, where settler colonialism, Indigenous sovereignty, and African world-making converge, clash and intersect. Through reflections on repair, governance, memory, and community, we observe that Greenwood's story is our story. As the US continues its barreling toward a contested 250th anniversary, this lesson feeds and shapes this week's Momentum of Memory: We are all Greenwood.Are you a member of Knarrative?

In 1921, one of the most prosperous Black communities in America was attacked, burned, and nearly erased from public memory. The Greenwood District of Tulsa, known as Black Wall Street, became the site of one of the worst acts of racial violence in American history. The number of estimated dead was in the hundreds. Thousands of Black residents were left homeless, and hundreds of homes and businesses were burned. Yet for decades, the story was largely unknown.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kevin Cohee.Title: Owner, Chairman & CEO of OneUnited BankHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations Masterclass Kevin Cohee discusses the mission, history, and future of OneUnited Bank, the largest Black‑owned bank and the first Black‑owned internet bank in the U.S. The conversation connects Black economic history, financial literacy, technology (AI), and wealth-building, positioning OneUnited Bank as a modern solution to long‑standing financial exclusion in Black and underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The interview is designed to: Educate listeners on why Black-owned banks matter historically and economically. Explain how technology has transformed banking, making location irrelevant. Address financial exclusion, particularly reliance on check-cashing services. Promote financial literacy as the foundation of wealth creation. Position OneUnited Bank as a practical, accessible tool for individuals, entrepreneurs, and communities to build equity. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. A Mission Rooted in Black History Kevin Cohee frames OneUnited Bank as part of a long historical vision, not a modern trend. Leaders such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. all advocated for a national Black-owned bank. Cohee’s own family legacy ties back to Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, including land ownership stemming from negotiated “40 acres and a mule” outcomes. Takeaway: Economic independence has always been central to Black progress. 2. From Brick-and-Mortar to Digital Banking OneUnited originally grew by acquiring small Black-owned banks nationwide. The bank pivoted early toward technology-driven banking, recognizing that: Customers expect 24/7 access Physical branches are no longer required Digital reach enables national—and global—impact Key insight: Technology allowed OneUnited to become a national Black bank without national branches. 3. Financial Technology Built for Real-Life Problems Kevin Cohee emphasizes that OneUnited designs products around how people actually live, not just traditional banking norms. Examples include: Second-chance checking accounts Emergency small-dollar loans Alternative credit criteria Nationwide surcharge-free ATM access AI-powered tools that help users understand: Cash flow Assets vs. liabilities Net worth (or debt) Financial decision-making in real time Takeaway: Banking should help people function—not punish them for past mistakes. 4. Financial Literacy Is the Real Wealth Gap Cohee states that 90% of Americans are financially illiterate, largely because: Financial literacy is not taught in K–12 education He compares this to not teaching reading—and then blaming people for illiteracy. OneUnited uses AI and data aggregation to help customers make expert-level decisions without being experts. Key message: Financial literacy, not income alone, determines long-term wealth. 5. Ending Dependence on Check-Cashing Services Kevin sharply criticizes high-fee check-cashing businesses that dominate underserved neighborhoods. OneUnited offers digital check deposits, debit cards, and ATM access—removing the need for physical branches. Anyone, anywhere in the U.S., can bank with OneUnited via oneunited.com. Takeaway: Lack of access is no longer an excuse—awareness is the missing link. 6. Technology as the New “40 Acres” Kevin draws a powerful parallel: Land ownership was once the primary source of wealth. Technology and financial literacy are today’s equivalents. Entrepreneurs no longer need to manufacture products—branding, distribution, and digital reach are the new leverage. Key insight: Technology levels the playing field—if people understand how to use it. 7. Mandatory Financial Literacy as a Policy Solution Kevin advocates for required financial literacy courses in all U.S. schools. He cites research showing: One required high-school financial literacy course can generate $100,000+ in lifetime net worth per student. He frames this as a matter of equity, not preference. Takeaway: Systemic problems require systemic solutions. Notable Quotes “The concept of a national Black-owned bank goes all the way back to slavery.” “We’re not behind in technology—we are the party.” “Ninety percent of Americans are not financially literate.” “You don’t have to go to check cashers and get ripped off.” “Technology is the new 40 acres.” “Financial literacy alone can generate over $100,000 in net worth per person.” “There has never been a better time to build a business than right now.” Overall Impact This interview is both a financial masterclass and a historical lesson. Kevin Cohee reframes banking as a tool of empowerment, not just transactions, and positions OneUnited Bank as: A modern solution to historic exclusion A technology-first institution built for underserved communities A catalyst for financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation Final message: Access + education + technology can finally close the racial wealth gap—if people choose to engage. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite all efforts to whitewash our nation's history, the truth cannot be erased. Case in point: In 1906, the first generation after slavery, African Americans created an extraordinary cultural, economic and entrepreneurial hub, dubbed Black Wall Street, in the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma. This thriving center of enterprise, where dollars spent circulated 9 to 30 times before leaving the community, was destroyed in 1921 by a violent and unrelenting white mob. Thirty-five square blocks were reduced to rubble, and 300 community members were murdered. The failure of white political leaders and media to tell this story and take accountability for it is one erasure. The economic impacts and generational harms of this desecration is another. In this episode of Power Station, Alaina Beverly, a powerful champion of Black political and economic justice, tells the story of the Greenwood Trust, an initiative launched by Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols, which she leads. She is educating the nation about Black Wall Street and the Tulsa Massacre and is making history by cultivating a cohort of experts, descendants, scholars, housing and educational leaders to build the economic future that Greenwood, and all disinvested communities deserve. Her her!
Recently named a top national cultural event by USA Today, the Black Wall Street Rally will bring thousands of motorcycles and motorcycle enthusiasts to the Tulsa area. But the event is so much more than just a motorcycle rally—it is a celebration of historic Black Wall Street's endearing entrepreneurial legacy and an opportunity to bring multiple communities together and stronger than ever. Organizer Byron Perry joins the show to let us know about everything that is planned for this new annual favorite, which returns May 14-16. Also on this week's show, the editors imagine which Oklahoma town they'd like to visit on a motorcycle, and podvents keeps an eye on walleye. You won't want to miss it!
In 1921, the thriving Black community of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was turned to ashes in one of the deadliest and most deliberately buried acts of racial violence in American history.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Greenwood Avenue featured luxury shops, restaurants, movie theaters, a library, pool halls and nightclubs… until late May and early June of 1921. Then a brutal race riot took place in thissuburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Which is tragically ironic, watching the news and seeing what is happening all over the USA today. You could almost think that nothing has changed. We'll look at what happened in Greenwood, Oklahoma over 100 years ago.LISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on YouTube Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other apps.

Notable Quotes “The concept of a national Black-owned bank goes all the way back to slavery.” “We’re not behind in technology—we are the party.” “Ninety percent of Americans are not financially literate.” “You don’t have to go to check cashers and get ripped off.” “Technology is the new 40 acres.” “Financial literacy alone can generate over $100,000 in net worth per person.” “There has never been a better time to build a business than right now.” Overall Impact This interview is both a financial masterclass and a historical lesson. Kevin Cohee reframes banking as a tool of empowerment, not just transactions, and positions OneUnited Bank as: A modern solution to historic exclusion A technology-first institution built for underserved communities A catalyst for financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation Final message: Access + education + technology can finally close the racial wealth gap—if people choose to engage. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this episode of the FratChat Podcast, we're diving into the wildest chapters of American history they definitely didn't cover in your high school textbook. Sure, you probably learned about the Revolutionary War and the Founding Fathers, but history class tends to skip the stories that are messy, disturbing, or just straight-up unbelievable. We're talking about things like the Tulsa Race Massacre, where one of the most successful Black communities in the country, known as Black Wall Street, was burned to the ground in a single night. The CIA's MK-Ultra program, where government scientists secretly experimented with mind-altering drugs like LSD on unsuspecting people. The Banana Wars, when the U.S. military repeatedly intervened in Central America to protect American fruit companies. Or the time in 1985 when Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a residential neighborhood, destroying an entire city block. From secret mind-control experiments to labor uprisings, corporate coups, and government cover-ups, this episode explores the strange, shocking, and often forgotten moments that prove the real story of American history is way crazier than the sanitized version most of us learned in school. Plus, the rest of the show is just as wild. In Emails From the Listeners, a guy writes in after his girlfriend dumped him in what might be the most bizarre breakup strategy ever. In News, we break down a NEW leaked WhatsApp group chat involving Florida college Republicans that turned into what investigators basically described as a digital hate-speech Olympics. And in another installment of “Not the Drag Queens,” we look at a major investigation in Rhode Island that uncovered decades of child abuse by clergy. A reminder that the people conservatives constantly claim are “coming for your kids” are very rarely the ones actually getting arrested. Got a question, comment or topic for us to cover? Let us know!

TW - This episode we drop a few 'f' bombs, and a few other words we would not normally use. But we are dealing with an act of domestic terrorism that has been concealed by polite history. We discuss the rRise of Black Wall Street in the Greenwood District of Oklahoma. How discovering oil in the early twenties brought people of all colors to to the young state of Oklahoma unintentionally creating a community of Black entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and other professionals,,This created a segregation and suspicion drove them into the community of Greenwood where they built black schools, black theaters, black hotels and black shops. Their community was so good and prosperous that even whites would shop there when they could get a product better or cheaper. However, one night, a young man named Dick Rowland who worked in Tulsa had to use the restroom. Being black, he couldn't go to the bathroom where he worked he had to go to one of the 'Black Only' bathrooms and the closest one was on the top floor of the nearby Drexler Building. The elevator was operated by one Sarah Page and as Dick rode the elevator, it shook briefly, causing Dick to wobble, he grabbed Sarah's arm to right himself, and Sarah, not expecting the contact, yelled as she was very startled. That's it...well Dick left the elebator a clerk saaw him and reported the incident to the police. Police arrested Roland and Black World War I veterans showed up armed, to prevent the vigilante lynch mob from attacking the jail and lynching Dick. It was this event that set off the Tulsa Race Massacre...an overnight series of assaults, unreasonable arrests, theft, arson and murder that devastated the district of Greenwood. And we, along with Carmita from Missing in the PNW and Murder in the PNW, tell this true story from the dark history of America and Oklahoma in this 0h-yeah-this-happened, domestic terror and if-this-doesn't-make-your-blood-boil-nothing-will episode of the Family Plot PodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
Exposing Black History Myths by John Doyle. Black Inventions, Thomas Jefferson's Black Children, Harriet Tubman, Tuskegee Airmen, Redlining etc… The “Tuskegee Airmen” is just a myth btw “Redlining” literally wasn't a real thing btw “Black Wall Street” was not real and the “Tulsa Race Massacre” didn't happen btw They like John Brown because they want to be able to kill your family for “anti-racism” and “trans rights” btw Top 10 things black people claim they invented but actually didn't btw The “Harriet Tubman” legend is literally a myth invented by like 2 Communist writers btw Black nationalists thought that Liberia was going to be Wakanda and then showed up there only to find slavery and then get deported for being mad about it btw Thomas Jefferson didn't actually have a kid with his slave btw Europeans didn't have to go capture Africans in the jungle like on TV because they were already being sold by other Africans for like a thousand years btw Black people were enslaving other black people on American soil before George Washington was even born btw The “Rosa Parks” story is literally not even approximately true btw John Doyle https://x.com/JohnDoyle @JohnDoyle· John Doyle @JohnDoyle Patriot @theblaze USA YouTube.com/JohnDoyle 124.3K Followers

In this episode, Brittany Ransom investigates the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the deadliest and most deliberately obscured acts of racial violence in American history. What happened in Greenwood, often called Black Wall Street, was not a riot, it was a coordinated assault that left as many as 300 Black residents dead, more than 35 city blocks destroyed, and over 10,000 people homeless.Early reports falsely minimized the devastation. Decades later, survivor testimony and official investigations revealed a very different truth: white mobs looted and burned Greenwood block by block, while airplanes flew overhead, dropping incendiary devices and firing into the neighborhood. Homes, churches, schools, hospitals, and businesses were reduced to ashes in less than two days.More than 1,200 homes were burned, with property losses exceeding $1.5 million in 1921—the equivalent of tens of millions today. Insurance companies refused to pay claims. Families were forced into Red Cross tents through the winter. City officials worked to bury the evidence and erase the crime from public memory.This episode confronts the uncomfortable reality that the perpetrators were never held accountable, and asks what it means when a mass killing goes unpunished.Follow and join the conversation:

Banking has shifted from physical branches to digital platforms, enabling nationwide access. Financial Literacy Crisis 90% of Americans lack financial literacy, largely because it’s not taught in schools. Cohee advocates for mandatory K–12 financial literacy education, citing studies showing it can add $126,000 to lifetime net worth. Products Designed for Real Needs CashPlease: Short-term emergency loans at affordable rates. Second Chance Checking: Helps rebuild credit. Savings Programs: Often in collaboration with employers. These products address real-life challenges like low emergency savings and predatory check-cashing fees. Accessibility & Reach OneUnited offers nationwide banking via oneunited.com, surcharge-free ATMs, and partnerships with major networks. Customers can deposit checks online and access services without visiting physical branches. Economic Empowerment Technology enables entrepreneurship without owning physical products—leveraging branding and e-commerce.

Dr Boyce discusses wealth and black economics, as well as a plan for the future.
Erika DeWaltDirector of Talent and Leader Development; Former School Leader“It's important to have a seat at the table.”In this episode of Black Educators Matter, Erika DeWalt explores why Black educators are essential to the fabric of education and community. She emphasizes that representation in schools builds belonging, trust, and cultural understanding for both students and parents. Erika shares how her experience at Tennessee State University revealed gaps in her own education and sparked a lifelong mission to ensure students see themselves reflected in what they learn. From her leadership journey to her reflections on the principalship, she offers a candid look at the immense pressure and emotional toll faced by Black educators, particularly amid teacher shortages, burnout, and a system that often overlooks their professional development and well-being.“Be a part of the system building.”Despite these challenges, Erika's story is one of joy, resilience, and vision. She finds fulfillment in culturally affirming education—bringing history and celebration into classrooms and leading by example in her son's school. Her commitment to self-care, mentorship, and community underscores the need for systemic change that supports educators as whole humans. Looking ahead, Erika envisions a future modeled after Black Wall Street—where Black students thrive in schools led by Black educators, grounded in culture, wellness, and purpose. Her legacy goal is clear: to empower Black women educators and create educational spaces that honor ancestry, affirm identity, and prepare the next generation to lead with confidence and joy.

Sabrina also reflects on her transformative time in Tulsa—once the home of Black Wall Street—and how that experience deepened her understanding of financial liberty and the “soul work” behind true economic empowerment. With future plans to make investing more inclusive and community-driven, this episode is a masterclass in purpose, vision and empowerment.

In this episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with Dr. John Bamforth and Dr. Roy Zwahlen, co-authors of Race to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Entrepreneurship for Everyone. Together, they explore how diversity, inclusion, and entrepreneurship intersect to drive meaningful innovation and create economic opportunity for all. John and Roy share how their distinct backgrounds — from a coal mining town in England to growing up across the Middle East — shaped their perspectives on innovation and inspired this book. They discuss how untapped communities hold massive potential for creativity, problem-solving, and growth, and how we can unlock that value by rethinking access to capital, ownership, and education. The conversation dives into the difference between iteration and true innovation, the economic cost of excluding marginalized groups, and why ownership is key to generational wealth creation. They also highlight inspiring examples from communities like Tulsa's Black Wall Street and showcase new approaches such as venture studios that empower underrepresented founders. Listeners will also hear powerful insights about how AI is reshaping innovation, making tools and opportunities more accessible than ever — and how the real key to progress lies in understanding problems deeply before creating solutions. This episode is an eye-opening look into how innovation thrives when everyone gets the chance to contribute, reminding us that the race to innovation is not about competition — it's about inclusion, collaboration, and shared progress.

Las Vegas Aces star Jewell Loyd has amassed a stack of staggering accolades: garnering two WNBA championships, two Olympic gold medals, and six WNBA All-Star nods, not to mention being anointed as the "Gold Mamba” from the late great Kobe Bryant himself.

In 2015, she and her brother launched Loyd & Co., a financial services firm they built to give underserved communities real access to capital, wealth-building tools, and long-term financial security. And in recent months, they've been ramping up their ambitions with several acquisitions that are expanding the firm's reach.

Last month, Marketplace's Mitchell Hartman visited Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he reported on the history of the area's “Black Wall Street” and its destruction during the Tulsa Race Massacre more than a century ago. The city's mayor recently announced a $105 million reparations plan. Tulsa joins a number of localities addressing the racial wealth gap, but if addressed federally, the sum would have to be closer to $16 trillion. We'll hear more. But first: how to tell how factories are navigating tariff pivots.
