2023 marks 40 years since Mario Cuomo was sworn in as governor of New York for the first time. Cuomo was one of the most unlikely politicians the state had seen in a long time. The child of illiterate working-class immigrants who owned a grocery store in South Jamaica, Cuomo was a public-school genius who found himself graduating at the top of his class at St. John's Law School. After taking a few pro-bono cases representing homeowners in Queens, Cuomo found himself encouraged to enter politics by legendary journalists Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill, as well as NYC Mayor John Lindsay. What followed was a wild rise up the ranks, one that included a highly publicized run for mayor, as well as turns as lieutenant governor and New York secretary of state before finally being elected governor. From the perspective of his advisers and the reporters that covered him – some of them speaking about their experiences with Cuomo for the first time – we'll find out how Cuomo managed to become a major political figure in the Democratic Party despite having a background that differed from most elected officials.

Welcome to "The Power Playbook: 50 Cent and Robert Greene's Guide to Success & Power". In this episode, we will explore the power dynamics and strategies of two of the most influential individuals in the world of business, entertainment, and literature. 50 Cent, the multi-platinum rapper turned entrepreneur, and Robert Greene, the bestselling author of "The 48 Laws of Power", have both built a reputation for themselves as experts in the art of gaining and maintaining power. The concept of power has been a topic of interest for centuries. From the times of ancient empires to modern-day politics, power has played a crucial role in shaping human history. However, the question that remains is how can we acquire power? And, more importantly, how can we use it effectively? To answer these questions, we will delve into the lives and works of 50 Cent and Robert Greene, and examine the principles they have used to achieve success and power. We will discuss their upbringing, early struggles, and the defining moments that shaped their careers. 50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III, grew up in South Jamaica, Queens, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in New York City. He lost his mother at the young age of eight and was raised by his grandmother. In his teenage years, he became involved in the drug trade and eventually landed himself in prison. However, it was during his time behind bars that he discovered his passion for music and began honing his skills as a rapper. In 2003, 50 Cent released his debut album, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'", which sold over 12 million copies worldwide. This catapulted him into the mainstream and made him one of the most successful artists of the 2000s. However, 50 Cent's success was not limited to the music industry. He went on to establish his own record label, G-Unit Records, and later expanded into other areas of business, such as acting, producing, and investing. Robert Greene, on the other hand, took a more academic approach to the study of power. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in classical studies and later earned a master's degree in English literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After a brief stint in Hollywood, he began working as a writer and eventually published his first book, "The 48 Laws of Power", in 1998. "The 48 Laws of Power" became an instant success and has since sold over 3 million copies worldwide. It is now considered a modern classic in the field of power dynamics and has been praised by notable figures such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, and 50 Cent himself. So, what can we learn from the lives and works of these two individuals? How can we apply their principles to our own lives and achieve success and power? Let's take a closer look. One of the key principles that both 50 Cent and Robert Greene emphasize is the importance of strategic thinking. In his book, "The 50th Law", co-written with Robert Greene, 50 Cent writes, "The ability to think strategically is the key to success in any endeavor. It allows you to anticipate obstacles and plan for contingencies, to devise a plan that maximizes your strengths and minimizes your weaknesses." This principle is exemplified in 50 Cent's early career as a rapper. He realized that in order to succeed, he needed to differentiate himself from other rappers and create his own unique brand. He did this by adopting a gritty, streetwise persona and incorporating elements of his past life as a drug dealer into his music. This helped him stand out in a crowded industry and eventually led to his breakthrough success. Watch on YouTube.

She grew up in South Jamaica, Queens.Shanina shares how she sadly lost her grandfather to Alzheimer's a week after the stay-at-home orders to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus. She shares how she sadly lost her younger brother who had a seizure disorder during the pandemic. While she wasn't able to visit the hospital where her father needed heart surgery and her sister needed an organ transplant because of the hospital's policy prohibiting visitors to prevent the spread of Covid-19, she was able to visit her brother because he was on an “end of life list” at the hospital. When he passed away his organs were donated to his sister who was about to be on dialysis.Shanina and I met in the Prep 9 program when I was 13 and she was 12. We reconnected in college when she was a student at Amherst and I was at Smith College.She suggests: “Allowing yourself the grace to fall apart and to lean on family.” The first half of the interview will be part of The Zip Code Memory Project which “seeks to find community-based ways to memorialize the devastating losses resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic while also acknowledging its radically differential effects on Upper New York City neighborhoods.” Thankfully, Leah Kogen-Elimeliah invited me to share my interviews of residents of Queens, New York with The Zip Code Memory Project.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Eric Adams, Brooklyn Borough President and author of the book Healthy At Last. Eric shares how after years of watching his mom suffer from type 2 diabetes he too was headed down that path and what he did was not LIVE with it, but REVERSE it. He has made amazing progress with schools and hospitals adopting more plant-based and healthy options. He also shares why it’s so important for communities to start changing the quality of black culture foods and how to do that. Please share this episode with any politician or leader in your community as Eric has an important message for them as well. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams was born in Brownsville and raised in South Jamaica--one of six children raised by a single mom who cleaned houses. As a young man, Eric faced homelessness, hunger and brutality at the hands of police. But instead of giving into anger, Eric joined the NYPD and fought for reform in the department. He also put himself through school, earning undergraduate and graduate degrees. From the NYPD, he was elected to the State Senate, where he pushed through measures to protect tenants and workers, and advance human rights. As Brooklyn’s first Black Borough President, he has worked tirelessly to grow the local economy, reduce inequality, improve public safety, and advocate for better government. In this episode we discuss: Being full of great Finding plant-based Genetics and trajectory Planting vs burials School and hospital projects Recommendations for politicians Helping change the quality of nutrition in black Americans culture foods Respect and change Links to things we mentioned: – eCookBook Eric Adams - , , by Eric Adams - , , A Forefather of Plant-Based Nutrition, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn –
Eric Leroy Adams was born in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn on September 1, 1960, the fourth of six children for his mother Dorothy, a house cleaner and cook, and his father Leroy, a butcher. Growing up in a working-class household in South Jamaica, Queens, Eric showed an early interest in computers, but was drawn to public service at the early age of 15 after he and his brother were beaten badly by police officers; the violent encounter would later motivate him to pursue a career in law enforcement, a decision reinforced by mentors like Reverend Herbert Daughtry and Jitu Weusi. Following a public school journey capped by his graduation from Bayside High School, Eric went on to earn an Associate in Arts degree in data processing from the New York City College of Technology, a Bachelor of Arts degree in criminal justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and a Master of Public Administration degree from Marist College. Eric paid his way through his collegiate studies through a number of jobs, including work in the mailroom of an accounting firm, as a mechanic, and as a clerk in the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. Eric graduated from the New York City Police Academy in 1984 as one of the highest-ranked students in his class. After initially serving with the New York City Transit Police Department, he was transferred to the New York City Police Department (NYPD) with the merging of the city’s police forces. During the course of his 22-year law enforcement career, Eric served in the 94th Precinct (Greenpoint), 88th Precinct (Clinton Hill and Fort Greene), and the 6th Precinct (Greenwich Village and West Village), where he retired at the rank of captain. As a member of New York’s Finest, Eric made the kind of life-and-death decisions that reflect insight, expertise, and poise under fire, earning him a reputation for going above and beyond the call of duty. In 1995, Eric co-founded 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, an advocacy group that rose to nationwide prominence speaking out against police brutality, racial profiling, and departmental diversity. He also served at one time as president of the Grand Council of Guardians, a statewide fraternal society for African-Americans in law enforcement. Through leadership roles in these organizations, Eric helped raise thousands of dollars for worthy causes across New York City. Eric was elected to the first of four terms in the New York State Senate in 2006, where he represented a diverse range of neighborhoods across brownstone and central Brooklyn. During his tenure in the State Legislature, he chaired both the Veterans, Homeland Security, and Military Affairs Committee and the Racing, Gaming, and Wagering Committee. In 2013, Brooklynites elected Eric as the first person of color to serve as their borough president; he is currently serving his second term as Brooklyn’s chief executive. In 2016, Eric was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Having lost vision in his left eye and suffering from nerve damage in his hands and feet, he went against the initial recommendations of his doctors and pursued a whole-food, plant-based diet. Within three months, Eric reversed his diabetes diagnosis, and he has subsequently been able to impact the health of countless New Yorkers facing chronic diseases, including his own mother. Eric lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where he has resided for more than 20 years. He enjoys biking through his neighborhood, meditating, and exploring new cultures through travel. Eric is the proud father of Jordan, an aspiring filmmaker and graduate of American University.

Tamika Harden is a personal trainer, life coach, owner of Body By Tamika, and a coronavirus survivor. Growing up in South Jamaica, Queens, Tamika was no stranger to the harsh realities of inner-city violence and drug abuse. She credits her loving mother for her strength and perseverance to overcome many of the hardships she faced growing up. Tamika’s humble beginnings motivated her to strive for excellence, even at a young age. Her own battles with childhood obesity and overcoming it have set the stage for her own platform of inspiring and helping others to transform and uplift their lives, mind, and body. When did you know you had the virus and what were the symptoms? “It started in March; it was right before the lockdown had occurred for the pandemic. I woke up preparing for work, and I just felt lethargic and tiredness that I never felt before. I’m used to hustling and bustling, servicing clients all day, morning, and night. Still, this tiredness felt different, so I began to cancel all of my morning clients, which is not like me and if I could just lay down and try to sweat this out or whatever I was feeling, so I rested, took off the weekend, tried to recoup using my regular techniques and tactics; exercise, rest, proper nutrition. I got my strength up, and by Monday, I was back to work, and by that Tuesday, I couldn’t get out of bed if I wanted to. I felt as if I got hit by a truck or something that just knocked me down. I was fighting through that, taking over the counter meds, taking my vitamins, trying to juice on the days that I had enough strength to want to eat something. I was fighting through it; I didn’t know what I had. So, as the symptoms worsened and I wasn’t getting better, I said, let me call the CDC hotline because now I’m home in bed and watching the news and just not understanding what is happening. I called the CDC, and at that time, I didn’t have all the symptoms. I’m telling them, I have a bad cough, it’s not going away. I was told I would get a call back in 48 hours to get tested. That call came two weeks later. This was at the height of the pandemic when we lacked preparedness. There was a lack of medical supplies. We saw that more in predominantly minority communities, so the help wasn’t there. I never got the callback, my symptoms worsened, and then it was brought to my knowledge that somebody that I was with a few days prior had to be admitted to the hospital and have tested positive.” It was then that Tamika decided she had to get tested. “I went to my local testing site, and I was denied access that day because they told me, I’m sorry, I understand your concerns, but you have to have an appointment. I tried to call again, and at that time, the wait time was approximately six hours, so I explained to the attendant, and I’m just pleading with them that I need to get tested, and if it weren’t for me pleading and pretty much begging them to help me, that’s when he said, tomorrow morning there will be a trauma unit set up at a certain site and your chances of getting tested on this site is greater. He couldn’t promise me that I would be tested, so I went back that next morning very early. I waited in line, and I was able to get tested and swabbed through a crack in my window. The exposure is very limited and I was told that I would get a call back in a week if I tested positive, so I went on about my day, and that Friday I had gotten a call back stating that I have tested positive. This was already ten days in, and if my body wasn’t able to fight it, it could have been a lot worse because of the obstacles I had to go through just to get tested.” It took Tamika 2 weeks to get through the effects of the virus. She then quarantined herself for about three weeks instead of the customary two weeks. She focused on eating healthy, juicing, and exercise to help her get through the sickness. Not only was Tamika exposed to the virus, but her children and nanny were exposed as well. This whole ordeal has made Tamika more determined to focus on her health because she believes that it is because of her health that she was able to fight off the virus. She is also determined to help others within her community. Being a trainer in top physical condition, Tamika shared that she was a little surprised that as a trainer, she would contract the virus. She stated that “at the beginning stages of the pandemic we were told that only a certain group of people or ethnicity or health conditions would get the virus, but after I was able to dig a little deeper and understand what we were up against, I realized that this virus doesn’t discriminate and anybody could be infected. What advice would you give to someone who is worried about contracting the virus? “The advice I would give is to continue to wear your mask, continue to wash your hands regularly and practice social distancing, and just to be mindful because some of us think that it’s over, but we still have to take precautionary measures. We don’t want this thing to reach the level of emergency that it was before. I think people just need to continue taking precautionary measures as we’ve been told, and I think now is the time to focus on immunity, focus on health, making realistic changes. I’m not saying go all green or do 5 miles a day like you’re going into the army.” Coronavirus Pandemic and Body By Tamika The Coronavirus pandemic seriously impacted Tamika’s business, which she started 3 ½ years ago. Even though she feels like she is restarting her business, she is more determined to see it succeed. Tamika believes that in adversity, there is an opportunity; you have to reposition yourself. She transitioned her business so that she can serve her community virtually, and she advises other entrepreneurs to “find other ways to reposition your business and your talent because many of us have several talents.” What services does Body By Tamika provide? “I provide in-person training, one on one personal training, small group training, virtual classes. I also have a Medspa, where I offer body contouring services. We consider that non-invasive weight loss services. I do laser lipo, slimming sculpting, and massages. We also do aesthetic procedures also non-invasive that can help speed up the weight loss process. I am also Life Coach Certified with an undergrad in Psychology.” Who Are Your Ideal Clients?“ “My ideal clients are women age group between the mid-20s to about 60, the working-class women juggling a career and children, the everyday women. I have a lot of empty nesters whose children are off to college, and now they’re making time for themselves. I service predominantly African American women, and they are all career-minded professional women who can afford services as to what I provide.” Where do you see Body By Tamika in the next 5 years? “A few locations. I want to take my business to different states for starters. I see a larger virtual community. I see all these things because they are more achievable for my business, and I’m more than capable of doing it, so now it’s just manpower and time. I see myself as a household name, and I’m just waiting for the day that all of it is showcased.” Tamika’s motto is: “If they don’t open the door, kick it down, I’m not promoting violence, but if you got to kick it off the hinges, kick it off the hinges, take what is meant to be yours and just stay diligent, stay on course and God will send you the people that you need in your life. They will start showing up. Just stay positive and not stop despite the obstacles ahead because there are going to be several, but each one you knockdown makes you stronger for the next one, so just stay positive."

The Borough We Became: Queens Residents On Life During COVID-19
The Queens Memory Project brings you the fourth episode of season two of the Queens Memory Podcast. This season we have collected documented experiences of Queens residents during the COVID-19 Pandemic. In this episode, we hear first-hand accounts of our Queens neighbors who have participated in the Black Lives Matter movement, their experiences at protests, and what we can do to keep the movement going. Black Lives Matter protests have swept across the country in the wake of the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police, with many demonstrations taking place in Queens. Krystal Padilla of Woodside talks about getting involved in protests for the first time, describing herself as a “quiet and shy person,” and how she felt particularly passionate about supporting BLM as she has faced harassment as a Latina woman. Padilla, like so many others, followed the call to action. Born and raised Queens, resident and community activist Ty Hankerson spoke at and helped organize several demonstrations this summer. Hankerson emphasizes the importance of protesting but also the necessity of doing work beyond the day of a march, including getting out to vote. Organizer Tunisia Morrison from South Jamaica talks about her efforts to get a Black Lives Matter mural in Queens. Morrison was distinct about her desire for every person who works on it to be black and to come from the local area. When she voiced this opinion to community leaders, she says it served as a “big spark” for everyone involved. Morrison was instrumental in the placement of the Black Lives Matter mural now on the street along Rufus King Park, and outside Queens Family Courthouse. Lawyer, activist, and organizer Khaair Morrison (Tunisia’s brother) talks about his connection to the community and the work he has done, which includes holding an Instagram live session with his mentor, Congressman Gregory Meeks which drew over 100 viewers, to talk about police reform in Congress. Queens Memory Podcast staff member Anna Williams attended a Street Riders NYC ride and included a recording of her experience. The activist group began its rides on June 6, and has drawn over 10,000 cyclists. The route Williams followed traveled from Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, across the Queensboro Bridge, and into Manhattan. Lulu White of Ridgewood used her embroidery talents to raise funds for the Pittsburgh Black Business Relief Fund. Her piece includes the James Baldwin quote: “You're talking about the people who have the power, who intend to keep the power. And all they can think of are things like swimming pools, you know, in the summertime, and sort of made up jobs to simply protect peace and the public property. But they show no sign whatsoever of understanding what the root of the problem really is, what the dangers really are.” Queens Memory Podcast producer Giulia Hjort and White discuss learning about the Black Lives Matter movement, taking part in protests, and their continued self-education on racism. “Vigil” by Queens Memory Podcast composer Elias Ravin plays at the end of the episode, which was composed in honor of George Floyd. This season of Queens Memory was produced by Jordan Gass-Poore in conjunction with: Anna Williams, Syreeta Gates, Giulia Hjort, Theresa Gaffney, Jo-Ann Wong, and Natalie Milbrodt. Editing was done by Anna Williams with mixing by Briana Stodden and music by Elias Ravin and the Blue Dot Sessions. Special thanks for funding support from the New York Community Trust. Queens Memory is an ongoing community archiving program by the Queens Public Library and Queens College, CUNY.
The Borough We Became: Queens Residents On Life During COVID-19
The Queens Memory Project brings you the premiere of season two of the Queens Memory Podcast. This season we have collected documented experiences of Queens residents during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Episode one features testimonies of two residents who live near hospitals and the blaring realities they face, as well as others who struggle to find a sense of normalcy, who feel as though they have lost time, and those who have lost loved ones to the virus. On March 20, 2020, at 11 am, Governor Cuomo delivered a press briefing on New York’s response to COVID-19. It was in this briefing that the governor announced an executive stay-at-home order, urging residents to isolate to flatten the curve of coronavirus infections in New York. In the following weeks and months, Queens residents still grapple with how isolation and COVID-19 have impacted their lives. Malcolm Boyd and Elizabeth O’Brien share their stories of living near hospitals in Queens, including Elmhurst Hospital, which Boyd describes as a COVID ‘hotspot.’ Queens, and Elmhurst Hospital in particular, has in fact had the highest infection rates in the city, and remains toward the top of the list for most confirmed cases and deaths in the United States. O’Brien laments over the state of health in Queens, specifically for MTA workers and essential grocery staff, noting that as of her recording on April 20th, an estimated 7,000 have died of COVID-19. At the time, testing was not administered widely, so the exact number of COVID related deaths is disputed. Further in the episode, recent high school graduate Kafilat Abdul of South Jamaica speaks of missing out on her graduation ceremony and celebrations, and Justin Kwiatowski of Queens Village, an essential worker, talks of maintaining a routine, adhering to safety procedures, and finding the positives in life. On April 2nd, Mayor de Blasio said in his daily press briefing: “This is a transformative moment for the state, for the country. I believe that. I also believe this is a moment when you see what people are made of.” Meanwhile, Queens residents continue to reel from their experiences with COVID-19. Ann Hepperman, of Jackson Heights, contracted the virus in March, and shares her experience of being in total quarantine, accessing tele-health, and what it was like to re-enter the world once she had recovered. Hepperman speaks of suffering a panic attack at a grocery store and the psychological trauma she has faced and many others are likely to suffer from. Hendal Leiva lost a friend to COVID-19, and talks about the suddenness of his friend’s death and how it has impacted him. Resources are available to help those struggling with stress, anxiety, and loss related to COVID-19. For helping yourself manage anxiety see Health Line’s tips, for those with children, visit Child Mind, and if you have suffered a loss, New York Presbyterian offers advice. These are just a few of the vast number of online resources available -- for immediate help, please consider calling a 24/7 helpline.

Meg & Bill welcome Bizzy Amor as they discuss censorship, police violence and current events.Difficult conversations pave the way for progress. Bizzy Amor is a filmmaker, rapper, photographer and creative producer of content across all forms of digital media. Biz was born and raised in New York City. More specifically he was born in Brooklyn and raised between the Bedford-Stuyvesant and South Jamaica neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Queens respectively. A product of public school, it became clear quite early that Biz, born Jaquan Williams, was a stand out student and athlete. Like most kids around he was left to his own devices to navigate the streets and luckily his early interest in basketball and eventual music, film and photo interest kept him from following most of his friends into the street gang and drug culture that ultimately and so viciously narrowed the path of many young black men around him.follow him on insta @bizzyamor
Today, 2/14/2020, we pay homage to 50 Cent... Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975),[4] known professionally as 50 Cent, is an American rapper, songwriter, singer, actor, television producer, entrepreneur, and investor. Born in the South Jamaica neighborhood of the borough of Queens, Jackson began selling drugs at age twelve during the 1980s crack epidemic. He later began pursuing a musical career and in 2000 he produced Power of the Dollar for Columbia Records, but days before the planned release he was shot and the album was never released. In 2002, after Jackson released the compilation album Guess Who's Back?, he was discovered by Eminem and signed to Shady Records, under the aegis of Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. With the aid of Eminem and Dr. Dre (who produced his first major-label album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Jackson became one of the world's best selling rappers and rose to prominence with East Coast hip hop group G-Unit (which he leads de facto). In 2003, he founded G-Unit Records, signing his G-Unit associates Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Jackson had similar commercial and critical success with his second album, The Massacre, which was released in 2005. He released his fifth studio album, Animal Ambition, in 2014 and as of 2019 is working on his sixth studio album, Street King Immortal. He executive produces and stars in the show Power, which airs on Starz.[5] During his career Jackson has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won several awards, including a Grammy Award, thirteen Billboard Music Awards, six World Music Awards, three American Music Awards and four BET Awards.[6] He has pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005), the Iraq War film Home of the Brave (2006) and Righteous Kill (2008). 50 Cent was ranked the sixth-best artist of the 2000s and the third-best rapper (behind Eminem and Nelly) by Billboard.[7] Rolling Stone consider Get Rich or Die Tryin' and "In da Club" to be in their lists of "100 Best Albums of the 2000s" and "100 Best Songs of the 2000s" at numbers 37 and 13 respectively.[8][9] #29DaysOfBlackHistory *Putting People On Game does not own any rights to this music or images* Hit us up or send us a text 214-744-3601!

Born and raised in South Jamaica, Queens, New York, she is no stranger to seeing faces that resemble hers while also witnessing the pain and challenges of the women inflicted by loss, trauma, and a vacant sense of self. This is why her work is designed to guide creative women of color to a life wrapped in confidence, self-love, healing, and alignment with their purpose and true selves. Kelley’s coaching work is strengthened by the 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Training Certification that she carries in order to introduce her clients to transformational breath-mind-body awareness, divine self-love, and a sense of community as a yoga practitioner. She’s an advocate for giving creators a place to voice their experiences through the podcast she co-hosts called the WYL Take Ownership podcast, which is in partnership with Univision Broadcast Network. Kelley has landed partnerships and speaking opportunities with companies such as Allstate, Whose Your Landlord, Women’s Empowerment Groups, NYC Board of Education, and several Non-Profit Organizations, in New York City. In this episode we discuss: The challenges of healing from loss. Why boundaries are critical for self love. Why taking the first step towards your goal is the most important step you can take. How journaling can help to unlock repressed feelings and assist in your growth. The struggles of relationships as you're continuing to grow. And so much more!

Walker & Company’s CEO Tristan knows a thing or two about making the cut. Born in South Jamaica, Queens, Walker rose through the ranks, achieving success at influential startups like Foursquare and Twitter, and companies like Andreessen Horowitz and The Boston Consulting Group. He’s also made top lists such as USA Today’s Person of the Year in 2014 and Fortune Magazine's 40 Under 40 in 2017. But it wasn’t always this way. “The minute I started hearing ‘no’ I knew I was onto something very special,” says Walker. At first, investors balked at his Bevel Shave System, which uses a single safety blade razor to give people with coarse or curly hair a flawless shave. Yet, he knew his innovative product was going to change lives because Bevel changed the lives of other people of color around him. Once celebrities and investors such as Magic Johnson and John Legend saw his massive potential, Walker grew his company to new heights and his product now reaches thousands of people across the country. In this episode of Access & Opportunity, Carla Harris speaks to Walker about his path to success and how his technology is transforming the beauty and care industry DRAFT DISCLAIMER TEXT ONLYThe guest speakers are neither employees nor affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co.

Happy New Year good people, welcome to the New York Said podcast. It’s a very rainy Tuesday in the Lower East Side but I’m feeling it. I love the sunshine because I appreciate the rain. This episode is a little different. A few days ago I invited Juan back on the show to talk about his favorite podcast, music and books but we ended up talking about that and everything under the sun. What you’re about to hear is take two. In the first take we started off great and then somehow we ended up in the super dark political place. It didn’t even make sense to publish it, I just made a new clip as we were talking and started from there. Please enjoy.

Raised in South Jamaica, New York, Reverend Ingram graduated from Francis Lewis High School and went on to serve 7 years of active duty in the Army. She would later move to the South Bronx, where she attended Transfiguration Lutheran Church with Pastor Heidi Neumark as her pastor, and mentor; empowering her to rise up out of herself and her life challenges, which seemed to her, at the time, as insurmountable. Reverend Ingram is a graduate of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, with a Master of Divinity. She has been the pastor of St. Michael’s Lutheran Church on Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia Pa, for the past four years. Reverend Ingram has become a strong advocate for those living in the margins, as she once was. She is an activist in the HIV/AIDS arena: herself living openly and unabashedly with the HIV virus for over 22+ years. Reverend Ingram can frequently be found speaking about HIV/AIDS, empowering others to live abundantly through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ: life without shame, confronting the stigma, and breaking through the silence; encouraging everyone: "to know your status, get tested, and be informed". Silence = death.
