Taraji Henson had an interview talking about check your ego because being to much about the "I" is like having another God. Akashi Media Podcast Live Podcast Host Variety Chenevert says it's okay to have a confidence ego sometimes we have to be our own cheerleader. Not everyone has someone rooting for them. Sometimes you have to pep talk to yourself and embrace your self. There may be a win excitement that you are excited about and others are not. You should celebrate your life, we are all born naked and that first cry is what all mother's want to hear. Taraji said she's not trying to be the greatest actor. People should be the best and the greatest. Taraji said things happen bad obviously for people who had greatness. All I know is that they died with a legacy behind them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/akashimediapodcastlive/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/akashimediapodcastlive/support

Akashi Media Podcast Live Podcast Host Variety Chenevert Commentary on Empire Star Taraji Henson Low Pay for the Color Purple remake film. Controversy has been steamy since Icon Billionaire Own Entrepreneur Oprah Winfrey hired Taraji Henson for The Color Purple. What has happened here and what is really going on with nominated Oscar Actor Taraji? Why does she have a production team separate from the film production team? She says the people on production needs to get paid and she's always taking home 50% less because of taxes. First of all, film production companies are a tax exempt entity so they don't pay taxes they get incentives. Second an actor is considered a contractor and they pay their own taxes but they have an option to request for taxes to be taken out. Third, how Taraji never seems to know what she's going to be making? It normal film production ethics a production company sends a letter of intent with an interest to hire the cast or actor at that time their representation will follow up with their star and letting them know the role, the production, give a script if available and information about pay. Taraji on the other hand must doesn't have a representation that brings her all the information regarding the production up front. They are just talking for her and just agree to any amount. But what's strange about her reps, talent agency etc is that they know she's a big star and she should be that $20 million dollars per film actor that she wants to be. How come they are not negotiating a higher bar of pay for her if that's going to be more money for her talent agency or personal manager? Something is off with her contracts. Her contracts sounds like a recording deal contract. However, assumption is that The Color Purple was shot during the Sag Strike and usually no pay is the same in any career during the strike. Taraji Henson is not alone in getting paid low acting gigs. However at the same time her pay is not 6 cents checks like the Oscar winner actor from Pose who is now homeless. None of the other complaining actors are taking home 6 cents checks and homeless but could be. The Pose actor is homeless with HIV. Just when you think your doing bad someone else is doing worse. But what demanding actor is going to stand up for another star to get paid. Sounds like the strike needs to be back on or these actors need new representation. Whenever an actor wants more money they have an option to become an investor in the production? Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry and Spike Lee have tight network where they own their own production company and are billionaires and are employers. They are actors too. But how much did Quincy Jones pay Oprah for The original Color Purple? What is it that Denzel Washington have to do to become to expensive for Spike Lee to hire after doing multiple Spike Lee Joints? How did Denzel and Jamie Foxx and Will Smith become movie moguls? Did they become investors in film productions. Will Smith has had riders for productions for special requests of accomodations. Taraji doesn't sound like she ever has a rider unless it's to have a separate production team from the film production. It might be a good option to exercise the network of these movie moguls who keeps their square tight to ask questions how can a low pay Oscar nominated actor get on? Get to where they are? Who did they hire to make them a billionaire? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/akashimediapodcastlive/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/akashimediapodcastlive/support

This episode is inspired by a recent interview with Taraji Henson, where she openly discussed the pay disparities she's faced as a successful actress, even with her achievements and accolades. I expanded this conversation to explore similar disparities in medicine and beyond, ultimately offering three actionable steps listeners can take to break the cycle of "underhaving"Key Takeaways:Pay disparities and under-compensation are pervasive issues, but awareness and action can lead to change.Negotiation is a crucial skill for everyone, regardless of gender or profession.Advocating for others and investing in personal growth are key to breaking the cycle of underhaving.By working together and empowering each other, we can create a fairer and more equitable future.Finally you can now be part of  a money in-person gathering created with you in mindDo you want the freedom to live life on your terms without being limited by your finances or golden handcuffs?  Register now https://www.moneyfitmd.com/wycReady to liberate yourself and become the CEO of your money & life?

A big hello from Raleigh, North Carolina. For this SOLO episode, I want to address an important question, but it's not something discussed widely. That's right, today's question is how to improve your emotional intelligence. In this episode, I will answer questions like: What is emotional intelligence? Why is it important? What can you do to improve it? So, what is emotional intelligence, also known as “EQ”?   Here is my own definition: EQ is the ability to see other people's points of view and make an effort to modify your actions to reach a resolution during conflicts or disagreements. It's a more business-setting definition.   Here is a definition from our BFF, Google: EQ is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges, and defuse conflict.   So, possessing a high EQ allows someone to be able to communicate with others from an empathetic perspective and defuse conflict in a positive way.   Once you understand the definition, it's easy to see the benefits of having a high EQ.   It can help you: -  Build better personal relationships with others -  Defuse conflicts and find compromises -  Enhance team morale -  Be a better version of yourself     How can you increase your EQ?   Work on listening intently It's not about hearing what others say, it's about listening earnestly and attentively. Sometimes there are underlying messages that others try to communicate, but they are either too polite to say things bluntly or unable to find the right words to explain their points of view.   You need to listen carefully. The best way to be sure you understand is to paraphrase what you've heard back to them. Use words such as “Ok, let me try to understand…”, “Here is my understanding…”, and “Let me paraphrase…”   By regurgitating, you subconsciously open up your mind a bit, and your brain takes a mental note of a completely different opinion.   At the same time, you show others not only that you are willing to listen, but that you “understand” them. The willingness to listen is a way to show compassion and empathy. Listening intently is the first requisite to improving your emotional intelligence.   Walk a mile in someone else's shoes Yesterday, I watched a 2019 movie called The Best of Enemies on Netflix; the Taraji Henson and Sam Rockwell film is based on a true story that happened in Durham, NC, in 1971. An unlikely friendship was forged between Civil Rights Activist Ann Atwater and local Ku Klux Klan leader CP Ellis.   Honestly, the Rotten Tomatoes review is only 52% and the audience score is 76%, so take that with a grain of salt, but I think the message of the film is useful to our discussion today.   The backdrop of the story is that a Black elementary school was caught on fire, leaving students with nowhere to learn.   The city council made a finding that the school was still usable which was not true so NAACP helped to file a lawsuit and asked for the students to be allowed to temporarily attend the local white school while the fire-damaged facilities were being rebuilt.   Rather than the judge making a decision, he decided to bring proven mediation expert Bill Riddick to help the town come to an agreement about what should happen.   Bill used an approach called charrette which invites everyone to have their say. He asked Ann and CP to co-chair the charrette, and through the open discussions, they narrowed down the issues they needed to discuss. The townspeople were broken down into different groups to brainstorm and hammer out different resolution points. Then, they would regroup as a whole each night for the wrap-up.   They also selected 10 people, 5 people from each side, for what they called the Senate. The Senate would vote on all resolutions on the final night of the charrette.   Many things happened during the course of the film to shift CP's mindset, but a pivotal moment came when he took a visit to the fire-damaged school in the summer, typically a season of leisure for children, where Black students were still attending school to try and make up for the lost time. It was then that he began to have a real change of heart.   Spoiler alert: He cast a pivotal vote for the resolution of school integration. At the end of the movie, you can see the real Ann Atwater and CP Ellis sharing their own stories.   Walking in someone else's shoes always has some profound impact on all of us whether we agree with that person's point of view or not.   You don't need to agree with them, but you need to be able to see where they're coming from and why they do certain things or think in certain ways. Sometimes, learning to accept differences is one way to move forward. Other times, making a pivotal change is a way to move forward.     Ultimately, your level of emotional intelligence directly equates to your level of empathy. It will affect your ability to healthily resolve conflict and form and maintain relationships, both in your personal life and at work, so it's well worth examining where or how you can make adjustments and improve.   Honestly, I am not a very emotional person, aka, I am not very sympathetic at times.   My take on life: it's tough (life is tough so deal with it!), and as humans, we often just have to deal with it. Although plenty of people share that viewpoint, it doesn't mean that everyone is on the same level, so I need to remember to check myself in order not to come off as an ass.   We all deal with hardship differently, so it's important to be sensitive to others' coping mechanisms.   I've become more sympathetic over time, but I won't lie, it's taken patience and practice! Life experience and interactions with a wide array of people have taught me a few things such as putting myself in other people's shoes.   I'd like to end this video with a quote from Brene Brown:   “Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It's simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You're not alone.'”   There is no right or wrong way to improve your emotional intelligence, but a good starting point is to start listening intently, be open-minded, and imagine yourself in someone else's shoes.   What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts.   Take care, bye!

Happy Wine Wednesday! As you'll hear in the intro, this week's episode is one that I've been wanting to do for a very long time.  Special guest Candi returns this week to discuss the pilot episode of the messy, messy Fox drama/musical - Empire.  We've got the main discussion about the pilot episode and a really fun spoiler segment in which we discuss the top 10 ridiculous Empire moments.Empire is my current comfort show and having watched the entire series multiple times, unpacking this mess with Candi was like therapy.  As for the pilot, we talk about the casting of Cookie and Lucious.  Could you see Monique as Cookie or Wesley Snipes as Lucious? We also talk about our impressions of the newcomers to whom we were introduced, including Bryshere Gray, Trai Byers, and Jussie Smollett.  If you're looking for commentary about Jussie outside of his role on Empire, you'll have to stick around for the spoiler segment.You can't talk about Empire without touching on the show's amazing music, so we share our favorite songs from the pilot.  We discuss our favorite characters from this introductory episode and share what we liked and what we didn't like overall.  In our closing arguments, we share whether or not you should continue with Empire if you've only watched the pilot.  And, as always, we get thirsty! Who is so hot you might do a 17-year bid in prison for them? During the spoiler segment, we talk ridiculous moments, thoughts on the series finale, what Empire got right, and Empire's greatest crime against television writing.  We get into the Jussie of it all and remind folks that he wasn't the only one with some off-screen messiness as the series wrapped.  Say what you want about Empire, Lee Daniels leveraged his success to attract some serious heavy hitters to the series and we discuss which big name actor appearances we  enjoyed.  I also stand in my truth about my hatred of musicals, the very limited list of musicals that I actually enjoy, and Candi very kindly reminds me that Empire is in fact a musical show.As always, we love you for listening.  Find and follow Candi on Twitter here.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram at @MoreWinePod!

The factors that impact our mental health are varied, intertwined and sometimes difficult to distinguish. Other times they are clear as day. When living conditions are unhealthy or unsafe or when mental-healthcare is inadequate, unaffordable or inaccessible, the goal of recovery can seem unobtainable.

Her speech is about why you should never listen to others when it comes to your dreams and why you should ignore the haters.   When you are walking in purpose and living with intention, life will give you three (3) answers: 1) Yes, 2) Yes, but not now, and 3) No, because I have something better for you.  All of these answers are WINS, but you must PLAN for them.  Today's episode will help you do just that.  Take a listen!

The unlikely friendship of black community activist Ann Atwater and C.P. Ellis, the Exalted Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan, brought together to co-chair a series of meetings about the desegregation of Durham Public Schools in 1971, seems extraordinary. And it must have seemed that way also to writer Osha Gray Davidson who documented Ann and CPs story in his book THE BEST OF ENEMIES: RACE AND REDEMPTION IN THE NEW SOUTH published by The University of North Carolina Press. Davidson’s book inspired the movie and a play written by Mark St. Germain. Davidson was in Durham to see the https://www.nccu.edu/news/index.cfm?ID=7BA8409D-B0F1-1EF1-5039730D5B7BAAE0 (North Carolina Central University Theatre) production of the play. It was his first time seeing it live and said the fact that he got to see it in Durham, just over a mile north from where the community meetings to desegregate Durham’s Public School took place. He called the experience pretty mind-blowing. “I miss Ann and C.P.,” he told the cast in a talkback afterward. “So, seeing them together was emotional because they’re real people to me.” Davidson’s book https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-best-of-enemies/id1245739291?mt=11&app=itunes&at=1001lRry (The Best of Enemies) is available from https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-best-of-enemies/id1245739291?mt=11&app=itunes&at=1001lRry (Apple Books) or Amazon. About the Guests Osha Gray Davidson is an award-winning author, freelance writer, and photographer. He has written six books of non-fiction, including “The Best of Enemies” which was a finalist for the NYPL’s Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism. The film adaptation of “Best of Enemies” starring Sam Rockwell and Taraji Henson was released in April of 2019. Davidson’s work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, National Geographic, Mother Jones, and Rolling Stone. Ruby Christmas is a Durham native who says she knew Ann Atwater and worked with her on several boards in Durham including, Operation Breakthrough, Head Start, and the Sickle Cell Foundation. She attended one of the first community meetings in Durham about desegregating Durham Public Schools in 1971.

After watching the new Taraji Henson movie "What Men Want", I decided to seek those answers for myself and my listeners. I invited 4 brilliant men with 4 dynamic backgrounds so that we have a variety of answers on "What Men Want Tho". One man is married, another is in an "it's complicated" situation with the mother of his child, I have a guy who was married, divorced and now living in this new world of being single with children, I also have a single guy with no kids. These men are real and the discussion we had was by far very informative for us all, women and other men. I was so inspired by this conversation that I've decided to have "His Crown Tho" once a month to gave men a chance to speak on behalf of themselves and the various issues they have with understanding women.
