During Black August 2026, the Asantehene, Otumfo Osei Tutu II, and Otumfo-Yere Julia Osei Tutu of the Asante People are visiting the United States. Their trip features a Royal Lecture at Howard University and an Akwasidae Festival at Bowie State University, bracketed by a major African business summit. This historic visit highlights a foundational truth: Global African solidarity and belonging must anchor self-determination to drive local, regional, and global advancement. This journey happens during a time of deep global political friction. As the old Age of European Expansion rapidly deteriorates, powerful nations scramble to renegotiate global arrangements. Meanwhile, political figures in the U.S. fetishize authoritarian leadership and try to destabilize existing political and economic orders. Domestic US communities also struggle to claim collective authority and protect explicit individual rights within a destabilizing US legal system. In grappling with relationships between Governance formations and the Social Structures which hold them together, the Asante delegation raises questions of Governance, where authority is informed by the Cultural Meaning-Making that recognizes relationships between memory and vision, the protective custodianship of Ancestral continuity represented by the Golden Stool, and the living assent of the people in renewed and new Governance formations. As corporate lawfare and a compromised SCOTUS threaten US domestic stability, and neoliberal frameworks continue to buffet the modern university, this week we raise questions of structural autonomy, from the protocols of the Asante to the "jailbreaking" of the Black University, and ask several questions: What does it mean to truly govern with the people's assent? How do we reclaim authority when structures built to rule us teeter? What happens when people withdraw their authority? How do we strengthen our global ties for mutual benefit?Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST #AMI Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off the week with a mix of breaking news, celebrity headlines, and cultural conversation. The team discussed the devastating flooding in Indiana, where more than 11 inches of rain triggered historic flooding, forced hundreds of rescues and evacuations, and left at least seven people dead as recovery efforts continue across the state. The conversation then shifted to Keke Palmer, whose latest comments encouraged women to focus less on a man’s bank account and more on his character, work ethic, and emotional maturity. Palmer specifically praised blue-collar professionals like mechanics and firefighters, reigniting a broader social media debate about modern dating standards and what truly makes a partner “high value.” The entertainment buzz continued with growing reactions to Stephen A. Smith receiving the National Association of Black Journalists’ 2026 “Thumbs Down” Award. NABJ cited what it described as a recurring pattern of disparaging commentary about prominent Black women in politics, sports, and media, a move that has sparked strong reactions across journalism and social media circles. Meanwhile, Usher shared an emotional milestone as his oldest son, Cinco, officially enrolled at Howard University. The proud father celebrated the achievement with a heartfelt message, joining a growing trend of celebrity children choosing HBCUs for their college experience.

Dr. Jonathan Collins (Columbia) and Desiree Cormier Smith (Alliance for Diplomacy and Justice) join to unpack Howard University's mass unenrollment, South Carolina's early-primary power play, and the latest on the still-unresolved Nolan Wells case.

In this episode, Howard Farran sits down with Dr. Chanelle Small, an endodontist who earned her Certificate of Endodontics from Tufts and both her DDS and undergraduate degree from Howard University, and who served as a Clinical Instructor at Columbia. Beyond founding Midtown Endodontics in New York City, Dr. Small works as a dental expert witness, retained by both plaintiff and defense attorneys across multiple states to determine whether the standard of care was met in malpractice cases. The conversation demystifies the legal side of dentistry that most clinicians never see until it's too late. Dr. Small breaks down the four elements of a malpractice claim — duty, breach, causation, and damages — through a real endodontic scenario, and explains how "standard of care" actually gets defined in the courtroom versus the textbook. She walks through the anatomy of a case from the initial complaint to resolution, when and how an expert witness enters the picture, and whether she's ever felt pressured by attorneys to shade her opinion to strengthen a case. The episode closes on the practical side every dentist can act on today: why radiographic documentation matters so much, what's most often missing from the record, and the habits beyond documentation that help protect a practice.

Episode #1723 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard sits down with Dr. Chanelle Small — endodontist, founder of Midtown Endodontics in NYC, and a dental expert witness retained by both plaintiff and defense attorneys. From the four elements of a malpractice case to how "standard of care" actually gets defined in a courtroom, Dr. Small pulls back the curtain on what really happens when a dentist gets sued — and the documentation habits that protect you.

Tune in Friday, July 31, 2026 @ 7pm EST/4pm PST/6pmCST for the next “He Said, He Said, He Said Live!” A Look at the World from A Seasoned Black Man's Perspective…because one perspective isn't enough!” for “Let's Get Newsy XLVI (46) – Calling out the Chaos!—an evening of thought-provoking conversations, compelling headlines, and the stories everyone will be talking about.

Send us Fan MailScarcity is loud. It tells us there's not enough money, not enough compassion, not enough hope, and not enough time to help. In our final Summer Shorts episode, The Rev. Kenya Thompson, Vicar of Church of the Common Ground, offers a different narrative rooted in the miracle of Matthew 14:13–21, where Jesus feeds the 5,000. Miracles, she reminds us, are signs of God's presence breaking into ordinary life, revealing abundance where we assume there's only emptiness.In this episode, Melissa has a conversation with Kenya about everyday miracles, Jesus' creativity, and what "enough" really looks like. Together, they explore practical ways to show up for our neighbors—especially the most vulnerable—even when we feel our own resources are limited. Listen in for the full conversation. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Indianapolis, Kenya attended Howard University, graduating in 1992. She later earned a master's in education from American University in 1996. For over 20 years, she worked in education, including as a high school guidance and college counselor for 15 years. Kenya joined St. George's Episcopal Church in 1995 and was confirmed that year. After discerning a call to ministry, she earned her M.Div. from Candler School of Theology – Emory University and was ordained in 2018. Her time working in China deeply impacted her spiritually, as she witnessed God's love through the kindness of strangers, even those not Christian. Since ordination, Kenya has served in various roles, including Vicar at Church of the Common Ground, Associate Rector at Holy Innocents' Episcopal Church, and Director of Leadership Development at Emmaus House. She is passionate about caring for the forgotten and the unwelcome. She considers being a priest an honor and a blessing and looks forward to future opportunities to love and serve God.Support the showFollow us on IG and FB at Bishop Rob Wright. 

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) open this episode of Black and Snerdy examining Tomi Adeyemi's public statement distancing herself from Paramount's film adaptation of Children of Blood and Bone. They walk through Adeyemi's account of the toll the production took on her, weigh comparisons to prior creator-versus-studio conflicts involving The Witcher and Mark Hamill's experience writing Luke Skywalker for The Last Jedi, and discuss concerns about the film's Nigerian setting being flattened into a broader continental aesthetic compared to Black Panther's Wakanda. They close the topic by noting Adeyemi's upcoming novel, Siren, and where each of them personally lands on watching the film once it releases.The conversation then turns to a report that Anthropic destroyed millions of physical books after scanning them to train its AI models, with a rundown of related legal cases including Authors Guild v. Google, Bartz v. Anthropic, and Kadrey v. Meta. Comparisons are drawn to Fahrenheit 451, the Superman villain Brainiac, and Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower while questioning whether digitizing a book justifies destroying the only physical copy. From there they break down Tuskegee University's new dress code under president Dr. Mark A. Brown, weighing it against dress norms at Howard University and Georgetown, before covering a Howard University enrollment controversy involving roughly five hundred students and closing with updates on Law and Order's expanded run on Peacock and Netflix.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠

7.29.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Howard President On 502 Freshmen Disenrollment. CBC Scholarships Under Attack. Afroman Sues Deputy. Roland spoke with Howard University's Interim President, Dr. Wayne A. I. Frederick, about the disenrollment of 502 incoming freshmen. He will explain why this happened and what measures are being implemented to prevent it from occurring again. Approximately 25 million people rely on a Medicare subsidy program initiated during the Biden Administration. However, the Trump Administration has decided to end it, which will result in increased premiums in 2027. An anti-affirmative action group has filed a lawsuit against the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, claiming that college scholarships for Black students from underfunded schools in majority-Black districts are discriminatory based on race. We will talk with the attorney representing the CBCF. Congressman David Scott's daughter, Marcye Scott, was forced into a runoff for his seat in Georgia's 13th Congressional District. We are less than 100 days away from the midterm elections, and MAGA continues its attacks on voting rights. We will discuss efforts to ensure a safe and fair election with the Senior National Coordinator at the Election Protection Coalition. And Ohio rapper Afroman is turning the tables on the deputies who sued him by filing a lawsuit against one of them for allegedly stealing $400, seeking $1.5 million in damages.

7.27.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Haitians Face TPS Deadline. 1,000 Marches to the Polls Launch. Howard Freshmen Get Help After today, thousands of Haitian immigrants will be in the United States legally after their temporary protection status ends. The question is what they will face when they return to the Caribbean island that armed gangs have taken over. Early voting in Georgia's special election to fill the late U.S. Rep. David Scott's seat in the 13th Congressional District hasn't been good. Reports indicate less than 2-percent have voted so far. It's Moral Monday Public Pulpit, and it's the launch of the 100 Days of Mobilization and 1,000 Marches to the Polls across all 50 states and D.C. We'll have some of that rally live. Federal judges deny an injunction to block Tennessee's GOP-favored congressional map that splits a majority-Black district in Memphis. Wisconsin voters sue to allow for a vote to count if an absentee ballot is late. And colleges in D.C. and New York are stepping up to help the hundreds of disenrolled Howard University incoming freshmen.

Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Of course we talk about the events that catipulted her name into the public eye, the family events that instigated that entire mess; and what she is doing now.I know a lot of folks have a preconceived idea about this young lady; but my hope is that you will listen to this woman's story with an open mind. Maybe, just maybe, by the end of this episode; you will have attained a touch more compassion and understanding about what she went (and is still going) through. This was a very big honor for me and my sincerest wish is that all of you enjoy it as well.Follow Rachel on social medis:Twit: @RachelADolezalInsta: @RachelADolezalFB: @Rachel DolezalCheck out her website: RachelDolezal.com

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historian Ibram X. Kendi says that in order to understand the rise of authoritarianism, we need to understand great replacement theory. It's the racist idea that “powerful elites are enabling peoples of color to steal the lives, livelihoods, cultures and electoral power and freedoms of white people,” Kendi writes in his new book, “Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age.” We talk to the National Book Award-winning author about how politicians are using great replacement theory to justify authoritarian power and how it has moved from the fringes to the mainstream. Guests: Ibram X. Kendi, professor of history, Howard University and founding director of the Howard University Institute for Advanced Study; author, "Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age"; his previous books include "How to Be an Antiracist" and "Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America."

Episode 278, June 14, 2026 -A Sudanese foreigner tried to behead an Irish man out on the street in Belfast, kicking off days of night-time rioting and fires set by Irish men who have had enough. The UK government pumps third-worlders into the civilized west and then blames its own constituency for being “racist” about it. -Defense analyst and author Jack Buckby joins us for an insider’s view of the new “troubles” in the UK. Buckby has been warning for years that UK citizens would rise up violently, but no one listened. -This week Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf, and blacks across America went apeshit. The mask is fully off for the “black community.” It’s psychopathic. Everyone from ordinary people to Howard University professors are calling the victim and his family “racists,” and trying to make convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony into the victim. Do you understand yet how much millions of black Americans hate white people?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
