Speaker 5 (01:30):
Okay, you stay on panels a panel. I do a
lot of the panels.

She said, it's called working book, it's called being booked.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
I'm booked busy, okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
But also a lot of the things that I do
do fascinate me, like I love it. I love talking
about things like strategic partnerships. Because my brand, my coffee
uplifts people. My coffee brand is actually about to be
in Target.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
That's a big deal. And we just did a.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Strategic partnership with Chelsea Piers here in the New York area.
And I think there's Chelsea Piers in other locations too,
so I know they have him in other cities as well.
We got to go there one day. May Not's never
have coffee.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
And that's a big thing. Never tasted coffee.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
And actually DeLonge is going to be building a coffee
corner here for us, So you're gonna love it when
I'm able to make you coffee every morning.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
And then she also like does little Baileys in it too.
It's a nice situation.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Off with just coffee. First, you can't stop off.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now we'd rather ease you back down to that, we'd
better start to go hard. It's like we'd rather give
you something that you're gonna be like, this is delicious,
and then it brings back by itself is not delicious.
It's an acquired taste.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
How about coffee and sugar?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
The last thing I want you to do is add
a bunch of sugar and Okay, but we are going
to have a special guest joining us today late them time,
it's is going to be joining us. You know her
as a Glow Mab and she's a doula. But she
also has a doula expo that's going to be happening
in New York at Hudson Yards. She does doula training,
so she wants me to actually take classes.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
And you know what a doula is.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Doula's actually help deliver, but they have you do process
so even after you give birth, they're still there to
help you, but they make things more comfortable they advocate
for you, and I absolutely do that. You may not
know how to do and from black women. Black women
are three times more likely to die during childbirth than
than white women. I didn't, but I wish I did,

(03:16):
right I was. I had a rough time, she had clamsy.
We're going to talk about that with late them times
when she joins us. It is way up at Angela Yee.
Make sure you call us right now to shine a
light on them. Eight hundred and two ninety two fifty
one fifty is a number. We always start the show
with some positivity.

are doing greatness.

Speaker 1 (03:41):

here with some Wednesday main Ovation mainvation. Good morning, guys,
Good morning, And we're actually in Orlando right now for
this Bishop Tjake's Good Soyo conference that's happening. I'm doing
this whole strategic Partnerships panel that I'm moderating, and we

(04:08):
want to shine a light on somebody who we both
really I don't know if you know Koya Mano, but
Jasmine and I love her. She is an on air personality,
but she's also on the Sosanja Show.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
And what I love is that there's.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Certain things I think with Koya that she gets very
she's very passionate about. And so one of them that
I actually had the opportunity to work with her on
was her whole HIV awareness campaign and now it's become
a real event that she's doing, so they actually featured
it on television as well in Orlando to spend the
night bad campaign. You know, black women in the US

(04:43):
accounted for fifty four percent of the new HIV diagnosis
among women in twenty nineteen, and so that's something that
she feels like is the cause for alarm. So she's
done this whole campaign. But other than that, Cooya is
also just an amazing person.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
She's a good friend too.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
During the pandemic, I was going to Orlando just toa
visit her and hang out with her. And I've never
been to disney World and she is definitely trying to
get me to go.

Speaker 5 (05:05):

Speaker 2 (07:47):
That petition for that petitions in front of them.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
All right, Well, let's get into some yeat.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Brent Fayaz has Jruck a partnership with Steve stouths United Masters.
It's a recording partnership and creative agency. Steve Stout says
that Brent Fias is one of the most prolific independent
artists today and we are extremely excited to embark on
this new partnership with him. It's been inspiring to watch
his journey as an artist over the years, and with
his partnership, we look to further amplify his creative vision

(08:15):
and support his entrepreneurial ambitions. He also has a tour
that's starting on July sixteenth. Okay, cool, all right, and
he put out the new video for his song rolling
Stone from his Wasteland album.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
By the way, I love that album. Yeah, it's nice mate.
Are you up on Brent Fias like that?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yes, of course you are, of course, like yeah, And
he's a cool person too.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
We go down with him. We were at.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Black Swan, yep in Baltimore, and Baltimore he's where he's from, yep,
you know. But shout out to Brent fires super talented.
That's great to hear about their partnership all right.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Now.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Speaking of touring Live Nation, the CEO has explained concert
ticket prices and the fees He wants to implement all
in pricing. You know, all the fees. You'd be thinking
the ticket is cheap, right, and you're like, oh, this
is a good price, and then you see what all
the fees are. Sometimes those fees could end up being
more than a damn ticket.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
All right.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Well, He addressed that venues choose which ticketing company they
want to use for the event based on which of
them is able to meet their terms and conditions the best,
and the venue seys the ticket fees themselves, and then
they determine what percentage of the fees they're going to
keep and how much they're going to give to the
ticketing vendor in return, so the ticket company cannot try
and negotiate the ticket fees. It's often a designated percentage

(09:31):
of the actual ticket cost. So the more expensive the ticket,
the higher the fees.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Is paying for a parking in popcorn it time, Yeah,
I mean.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
So when you see Ticketmaster's service fees, he said that
ticket Master isn't actually getting most of that money, so
just letting you guys know. But he also said that
he does not and Michael Rappino is the CEO of
Live Nation. He also said that he doesn't think the
costs and fees are justified at every price point. He said,
it's under reasonable for people to expect to see an

(10:02):
artist and an arena for twenty dollars. So don't think
that that's going to happen. That'll be nice, though, yeah,
can you they should do that.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, that'll be nice.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
But people got to make money too, all you got
to pay them union fees and all of that suggestion
of that, all right, And Deontay Wilder was arrested in LA.
He was booked on a gun charge. According to reports,
the cops smelled an odor of burnt marijuana coming from
his car, so they searched his car, and they stopped
him because his rolls orses windows were illegally tinted, they said,

(10:32):
and his license plate was obstructed.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Okay they had sure, all right.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 12 (10:36):
It was messing with him. That's when they tell you
that they're pulling you over for the chance. Yeah, that's
a way of pulling you over. That's my reason.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
And then they say they always say they's a smell weed.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Well they did find weed, and they found a nine
legal It is maybe not your car, I don't know,
so you're still not supposed to smoke though while you're
because you're still that's still under the influence, got it,
So you're not supposed to do that, all right? They
said he was very cooperative and nice throughout the whole ordeal.
But he was booked on a charge of possession of

(11:06):
a concealed weapon and he bonded out right away after that.
So he does have some fight negotiations going on right now.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
I can't imagine that.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I don't I doubt that this is going to affect
any of that.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
That is your yee tea.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
And when we come back, we have about last night.
You know, Jasmine and I flew out to Orlando, and
we're going to talk about our hotel because it is mixy.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
It's way up at Angela yee y.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
So about last night last night, last nights, I.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Went down, all right, it's way up at Angela Yee,
Angela yee. And that is Jasmine from the Jasmine brand.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Good morning, and Mano is here, new Mano, and it's time.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
For about last night.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
So I told you guys, Jasmine and I are in
Orlando right now and we actually we have to check
out of the hotel today. But we're at the Grand Bohemian,
which we love. Yes, so shout out to everybody here
at the ground. I actually stayed here before because of Korea,
who we shouted out earlier. But this hotel is more
in the mix too, Like you're definitely going to see

(12:10):
some people, you know, if you go downstairs to the restaurant,
which is really good, you're going to run into some people.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
It's not quiet. It's a scene a little bit, right.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, And sometimes when I when I come to Orlando,
I stay kind of out the mix, out the way
like in the quiet area. I do the same thing
when I'm in Charlotte, right, But this time we kind
of felt like being in the middle of everything.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
So Mayna, let's wanted to.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Be in a mix. Yeah, I don't like to be
in a mix.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
I am a question. I know you don't even felt
strongly about this man.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
So you don't like to stay where everybody stays.

Speaker 12 (12:40):
Oh, I like to have that as an option if
I want to pull up, you know, and go by
the pool and see what's going on, and you know,
but then when I when I go back to the hotel,
I want to I want to be private.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I think you don't want people to see who you're
with problems right that you know, I've seen Mano walking
up to the room.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, who wants everybody in their business? Though I don't.
I'm not the one to be able to sit momoss
by the pool.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
With your legs out right, do your swimming tchuns go
below your knee or above above a little bit of
a Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm not outside of those old work release.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Your thighs out. They got work really swimming, you.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Know, like he just came home.

Speaker 12 (13:25):
You can't been in circulation for a minute. They don't
even make shorts that go past the knees. They don't
make sure they go past these no more.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
So, for instance, if you're in Atlanta, you want to
be away from everybody not in the mix.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
No, I don't like to be in the mix. I
don't like to stay in the mix. I like to
have the mix as the option.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Okay, because you know the certain hotels.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
What about the hotels that are like, say it's in
Atlanta the fourth seasons or in the same regions, and
think Waldorf, it's a little mixy because that's where people
tend to stay for times.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Though those are those are always mixy. I feel like
the ones she just listened to Atlanta. I feel like
it's always are so nice. You know, are you gonna
where are you gonna stay?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Then?

Speaker 5 (14:03):
If you don't, if you're not it's a continental.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh that's even worse.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
It is.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, you could walk to Ruth Chris right there, right, Yeah,
you can right there. But I also feel like sometimes,
like right now at the Grand Bohemian, I like their restaurant,
I like their drinks.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
I like the fact that it's close to where we
have to go.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
And then I think a lot of people from the
conference are staying there, and sometimes that's fun, like.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
And it's also convenient. Yeah, convenience.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
The mix is convenient, right.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
I remember when it used to be b tr Wards
in Atlanta and we would stay at the w Everybody
everybody used to say at the.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
Absolutely crazy.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Wow that downstairs was crazy.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
All right, So mano's out the mixed, Jasmine, what's your preference?

Speaker 6 (14:51):
I prefer to be in the mix because I want
to be somewhere that's not hard to get to, not
hard to get to. No, it's not about people's it's
about being it being convenient, Like I don't want to
have to drive far get picked up far, you know.
But I'm not I'm not gonna sit down in the lobby.
But whoever I'm with and right, But.

Speaker 12 (15:08):
Every time I come to the hotel room to see
you and be like, oh man, okay to see j'all.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Don't be trying to hide me. May no, and we'll
be okay. Don't you be ashamed of me?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Okay, You're nothing wrong. It shouldn't be a problem.

Speaker 13 (15:22):
Right.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
I used to sneaking around. It's like second labor.

Speaker 6 (15:27):
But no, I think I think people like to be
away because they don't want people seeing them, which I understand.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Or you just want it to be quiet, Like sometimes
there are times that I'm like, I just wanted to
be quiet.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
I want to go to the pool and not have.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
To like that's what he's saying.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Yeah, and I have to show it up sometimes. You
it just depends on how you I don't like, and
where you are. You know, if you're in the Bahamas,
you know, if you stay a certain hotel, if you
stay at the SLS Bahad Mar, you know you're going
to see everybody.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
You know, there's a party at the pool.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, the Mandrian in Miami, you already know what it's
going to be, so I think you just have to.
If you're staying at the Fountain Blue in Miami, you
know it's going to be a scene.

Speaker 11 (16:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
And then maybe you're like, I actually want to say
a little further.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Maybe I'll go to.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Bricklel go to Brokele, who is quiet?

Speaker 5 (16:11):
I write a few people at Brookele too. You'll be
seeing me.

Young Boy.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
He is the youngest artist in history to have over
one hundred career entries on the Billboard Hot one hundred chart.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
He's only twenty three years old, by the way, let's
keep that in perspective, so congratulations to him. Some of
the previous artists who reached the milestone include Little Baby Drake,
Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Future, and Taylor Swift, so congratulations
to him. He also reportedly welcome his eleven child recently too.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Eleven eleven eleven children at twenty three.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
Wow, that's a lot.

Speaker 9 (25:20):
You know.

Speaker 6 (25:21):
What's interesting about him is the fact that he hardly
does any press. Yeah, and his fan base rides with him.
He don't really have to drop a bunch of you know, promo.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
Yeah. Well, you know.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
And it's interesting also is that now he drops music
constantly and it always does well.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (25:38):
You know.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
He even had an.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Album release party that he was supposed to show up
to via zoom and missed it.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
So, yeah, he was supposed to zoom into it.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
He missed the zone.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
That's funny, all right.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Antonio Brown has been accused of threatening an Arena league
coach and also not paying players as a football team
owner the National Arena League's Albany Empire. The head coach
and the quarterback both detailed their experiences before leaving the team.
Now according to Damon where he said that Antonio Brown's

(26:09):
ownership was doomed from the beginning. It was a hostile
takeover when he came on board in Marsh they forced
other owners out by throwing money their way. The main issue,
he said, was getting everybody paid, and his conversations with
Antonio Brown about the matter got so bad that he
would text him violent threats.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Oh no, you can't do that, they said.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Antonio Brown, who owns ninety five percent of the team,
was a nightmare to work with, and his ego got
in the way of improving the squad and helping players
move on to the next level. He said, it became
all about him. Yes, So hopefully they get it together right.
I'm sure Antonio Brown is going to respond to this
at some point too, yikes. As he does, and as

(26:50):
Sharon has warned that he is going to quit music
if he's found guilty in this copyright trial. He said
he'll leave the music industry. That's all a plagiarism trial
related to his thinking out loud. They're suing him saying
that Marvin Gay song Let's get it on. They're saying
he copied that song. Right, So we've been talking about that.
He actually played the guitar and did all of that

(27:10):
while he was on the stand. But he's saying that
the heartfelt song that he did was written without copying
Marvin Gay and features elements that are commonly used in
pop music.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
So this child has been going on. If you guys
have been fo yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
So he also, by the way, I guess, is going
to be living in New York. He just inked at
least for a thirty six thousand dollars a month apartment.
Isn't it crazy that we know all of this? But
it's near the Brooklyn Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn h thirty
six thousand, Yeah, thirty six thousand dollars amazing view, that's

(27:46):
an amazing amount of money. Yeah, but it's in Brooklyn,
So I guess we'll be seeing as Sharon.

Speaker 6 (27:51):
It's interesting. I feel like he lays loaf, so for
him to becoming to New York is different.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
I think the neighborhood that he's in we can lay
low in, not just in general.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
We don't really we don't really see him out period.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
But it's Brooklyn Heights like that particular neighborhood is not
like being in the mix.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Is here all right?

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Well, that is your yeet. And when we come back,
we have under the radar. Okay, if you're a newbie.
Under the radar are stories that are not necessarily on
the front page of the news. Every time you turn
on the TV, you're not seeing it. But these are
stories that we feel are important for you guys to know.
It's nice water cooler talk sometimes too. Okay, it's way
up at Angela ye news.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
It's way up at Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee. And
it's mainnovation Wednesdays. Yes it is Mano is here.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Jasmine from the Jasmine.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
Brand is here. I am here Angela and it's time
for these under the radar stories. These are stories that
are not.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Necessarily in the headlines, but they deserve to be. And
we've been talking about the bank collapses. Right now, First
Republic Bank has collapsed. It's the third major US bank
to collapse in recent months, and right now JP Morgan
Chase will assume all of its assets. The FDIC said
the deal avoids the agency having to use its emergency powers.

(29:14):
It would also minimize disruptions for customers, if you guys recall,
Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank also collapsed earlier. So
now this is the third one. So JP Morgan Chase
Bank submitted a bid for all the First Republic Bank's deposits.
As part of the transaction, the eighty four offices in
eight states for First Republic Bank will reopened as branches

(29:35):
of JP Morgan Chase Bank. All right, so if your
money's there, I guess for now you're okay.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
I guess the third one.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Big happening, and it's going to continue to happen.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
I was trying to understand what it was that happened
with First Republic Bank. Apparently they were giving loans to
like really rich people, but they were making them pay
I think only interest at first. Oh, and then with
with the rates rising and.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
Less people, the only principal first No.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I think it might have been only interest first, and
then that means that you still have all that principle
to pay, you know. So I was just trying to
figure out because every time I read about something, I
try to do a deep dive. And so they were
saying that's part of what the problem was, all right,
so yeah, we should all do a deeper dive into it.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Where's that work?

Speaker 5 (30:22):
I'm from deep dive.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I've never heard that, you haven't until I started coming in.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
But you've heard of other places.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Never over here?

Speaker 3 (30:34):
All right, Well that was your deep dive, all right.
Now here's another deep dive. Jeffrey Hinton he was an
artificial intelligence pioneer. In twenty twelve, he and two of
his graduate students at the University of Toronto creative technology
that became the intellectual foundation for the AI systems that
they say tech industry's biggest companies believe is a key

(30:55):
to their future. But now he's also one of the
people that is criticizing artificial intelligence. Yes, he says, those
companies are racing toward danger with this aggressive campaign to
create products based on generative artificial intelligence, and so things
like chat GPT, the popular chatbot.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
You see a lot of people getting scammed.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah right now with these chatbots. Now, doctor Hinton said
he quit his job at Google, where he worked for
more than a decade and became one of the most
respected voices in the field, so that he can freely
speak out about the risk of AI, and he said
a part of him regrets his life work.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
That's major. You regret your life and you're concerned.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
But he does say he tells himself, if I hadn't
done it, somebody else would have. That's how he actually
consoles himself. That's what you say is an excuse when
you know you're going to do something messed up. You're like, well,
what wouldn't mean somebody else would have did it? But
you know, he does feel like, how do you prevent
bad actors from using it for bad things? And that's
the problem is that there could be a risk to humanity,

(31:52):
So how do you even regulate that?

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Right?

Speaker 5 (31:55):
So it really is about to be the Wow wow
West it is.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
And then it's also about the job market, right, how
much is AI going to affect the job market? That
type of technology they're saying chat bots like chat GBT
tend to compliment human workers, but they could replace paralegals,
personal assistance chraanladers and others who handle.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Those type of tasks.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
So he's upset and worried that it could take away
from some of that. And then also with the false photos,
the false videos and texts all of that that the
average person will not be able to know what's true anymore.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Now, who's controlling all this? Who's going nobody?

Speaker 5 (32:26):
That's the problem.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
This is crazy.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
One of my friends got fool he thought Fat Joe
was asking him for money. He sent me the video
of Fat Joe sitting.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
There talking to him personally.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
I'm like, yeah, yes they can, Okay, so we gotta
be careful, all right.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Well that is here under the radar stories.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Okay, and when we come back, we have the Way
Up mix at the top of the hour, So get
ready to dance.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
Oh so we already told you.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
There you go, Jasmine, she's always doing this body roll
to everything ate them.

Speaker 4 (32:57):

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Mano is here New Mano and Mano Real Housewives.

Speaker 5 (33:47):
Of New York. Did you ever used to watch that?

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Never?

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Because it's New York.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
No, I never watched it though, All right, well then
maybe you won't care. But they have announced that the
season fourteen premier date is uh is happening? Well, the
new season is going to be starting julye sixteenth at
nine pm Eastern, and there's a teaser that was just released.
The cast was unveiled at Bravo Kan.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Twenty twenty two. I don't think I know any of
these women.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
I don't. Yeah, I don't think I'm familiar either.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
But you know, when you think about it, that's typically
how housewives is. You don't know who these women are
until you.

Speaker 12 (34:20):
Because they were in the house got wife in right,
wives were wife in yep.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
So I guess get ready for that.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
So I don't know any anybody. You don't think you
know some.

Speaker 6 (34:32):
Of these names are hard to pronounce. Angela, the Casta.
Let's say no, no, that's who's being replaced, So that
the cast is going to replace Marmoma Singer, luyn Sonya
Morgan and yeah, they're not on there anymore in Ebonyville.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
So now it's side to Silva, Uba Hassan, Aaron, Dana Litchi,
Jenna Lyons, just sell Tank and Brent Whitfield.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Yes, so those are the new People.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Don't even know they had a New York City version
that of Housewives.

Speaker 5 (35:01):
Yeah, you didn't know there was Real Housewives of.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
New York of New York City.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Well, yeah, just of New York. It's just New York.
House of New York.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, not New York, upstate New York. It's just any
part of New York.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
It's just New York. I don't think anyone lives upstate.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, I think that's all Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
The problem people always had with the New York franchise
was just like, do these women represent New York, not
the New York Not New York City.

Speaker 6 (35:20):
And it was cool because Ebony was from Harlem and
she was on the show with them, and they were
mostly from Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
You're saying, right, yeah, and they would be like, you know,
going and doing things like going to the Hamptons and
stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
Got it, Yeah, Okay, got it.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
They actually had spoken to me about being on it.
They were diversified.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
That would have been really good. It's not too late, Angela, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
I'm not a housewife, all right. And Coachella, the owner
of Coachella was is aeg. They're threatening legal action. There's
a filmmaker who created a concert movie. That person got
footage of Frank Ocean performing just from online. So he
put together about one hundred and fifty videos that was
uploaded by content goers on YouTube, TikTok and Twitter and

(36:03):
made an unofficial multi cut film that accounts for the
entirety of freak Ocean sets. Really, that is very by
the way, a lot of time. Yes, Brian Kennis is
his name, all right. And the whole thing was one
hour and twenty minutes. And so he got a cease
and desist as soon as he put it online. They
told them he has to remove and destroy all audio
and video content of musical performances from the festival. If

(36:26):
it's a really good video, they should have teamed up
with him on it.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
But it's their footage, he said.

Speaker 6 (36:31):
I'm just he said, I'm just combining what's already publicly available, right,
So it was already out there.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
What is it from people's phones?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, and from TikTok, And it's a little snippets.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
I think an hour and twenty minutes is a full length,
you know, video for the whole set. I think you
can get away with posting like little bits and pieces.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
And I don't know how he was, but he's saying.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
He's saying, it's already out there. I'm just post I'm
just putting together something that.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Piece together he did.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
He made it a whole, he said, And this was
not He told Variety, I'm not concerned with any legal
repercussions because I do not plan on making a single
penny from it. He said, I will continue to upload
it in places that Frank Ocean's legal team will not
be able to find. I don't know if I should
tell that to a reporter, but it deserves to exist online.
Probably not the best thing to tell to a reporter.
I'm just going to put that out there, all right.

(37:19):
And Black Barbie, there's a documentary about Black Barbie, the
black doll that was released in nineteen eighty That was
thirty one years after the first Barbie actually became the
iconic doll that it is in American history.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
You know, you ever had a Barbie doll, Jasmine?

Speaker 5 (37:37):

stories going on. I want to talk about Louis Vatan.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
All right.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Now, Louis Vatan is opening up a new flagship store.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
Luxury retail has been booming, all right.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
We've been seeing all in the news how the berkins
Urmez is going crazy.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
Louis Vatan.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
The reason why the owner, Bernard Arnault is like the
richest man is because of all these luxury brands doing
so well. Tiffany's, you know, they bought Tiffany's, and I
want to talk about what is the most that you've
ever spent on a luxury brand? When we come back,
it's way up with the Angela yee.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
You lae.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
What happens way up with Angela yee? I'm Angela Gee?
And this guy got money money, Okay, don't forget the
m MNOs for money.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
What's that mano I.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Didn't know, I didn't know was talking to me?

Speaker 13 (39:03):
Is that?

Speaker 5 (39:03):
So this guy's got money?

Speaker 3 (39:06):
And Jasmine from the Jasmine brand is here and I
wanted to talk about these stories that we did not
have a chance to get to for like for the
past few days. But Louis Vatan is opening up a
new flagship and that's going to be because I guess
luxury retail has been booming in New York City. Okay,
all right, so they said, right now, it's going to
be on Fifth Avenue and East fifty seventh Street. They

(39:29):
also talked about Tiffany's and how they did a makeover
of the tiffany store. And you know Louis Vuitton they
owned Tiffany's also, all right, and so the CEO of
Louis Vatanma went Hennessy Bernard Arnault got lost inside the
Tiffany's flagship store and then ended up doing a renovation
there that was supposed to cost up to five hundred
million dollars, but then during the pandemic, he managed to

(39:50):
get that price lowered to get that renovation done.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
But I wanted to.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Ask you guys this, because I don't spend any money anymore,
I can't. Okay, go ahead, it's definitely new, But I
want to ask you guys, what's the most you ever
spent on a luxury item, on one luxury on one
luxury item.

Speaker 12 (40:09):
And when you're talking about luxury, we're talking about designer designer.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Yeah, like something that costs a lot of money that
you go in the store, maybe you got to wait
online outside or security has.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
To let you in.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
I don't know, sweaters, a watch maybe may No, we'll
start with you. Watches are expensive. That's why I have
expense yet to buy one.

Speaker 12 (40:28):
It's super expensive. I want to say about sixty thousand.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
Six zero. Oh that's a lot. You beat me, well,
y'all for sure beat me.

Speaker 6 (40:37):
I think the most I've ever spent on something I
bought myself was probably like a Chanel bag.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
Okay, yeah, how much is yeah? Like no more than
six And.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
You know, Chanel bags have gone up so much in price.
The price has gone up like thirty percent.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
So they're good, good investment, that's.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
What I heard.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah, if you take good care of them. Yeah, I
have a few I actually had. But remember that Chanel
bag that lights up. It has like the led lights
on it and it like says Chanel and then it
like how.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
Much does that young thug actually wor it at a pastime?

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (41:08):
How much you got that?

Speaker 3 (41:09):
But you know what, see, you can't compare it because
things were cheaper back then. I think I spent at
that time, and that was a lot for me. It
was the most I ever spent. It was like seventy
five hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (41:19):
Huh, what's the most to date? You think you spent
on a on a luxury.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Item, So not sixty thousand. It has to be on
a bag. And because the costs of bags have gone
up so much, you know what, I will tell you this.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
I did get that Chanel bag that's heart shaped.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Oh it's cute. Yeah, and they're hard to get. They
never hit the floor at the stores. I just happened
to be in the store and I was like, hey,
are you guys going to get the heart shaped Chanel bag?
And I had to reserve it. And it wasn't that
it was expensive, but the resale value of it is crazy.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
How much was it?

Speaker 4 (41:51):
Yes, it was fifty five hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Tell me about this Louis Vuitton case.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Oh, I had gotten purchased at Louis Vuitton case for
my phone one time. I would never do that again
because the iPhone is always changing, and so when you
get a case for the iPhone, it only lasts for
a little while. So now I just get like a cheap,
you know, thirty dollars case on my phone. I might
get one at the mall from one of the little
things that stands at the mall.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
But I went in the store. I thought it was cute.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
I was like, it can't be that much, and I
said I wanted it, and then I think it was.
It might have been like eighteen hundred dollars And I
didn't know until I went to the register, and I
already had a whole conversation.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
Yeah, nothing because because people know y'all, I feel like
y'all can't ask the price.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
I will definitely ask, well, how much to ask?

Speaker 4 (42:34):
I just should have asked.

Speaker 12 (42:36):
I asked the price, but I asked it with an attitude, Yo,
what y'all selling this for what?

Speaker 5 (42:44):
Twenty three hundred and bucking? Nobody even seen this before?

Speaker 6 (42:48):
So was your ego too fragile for you to be like, Okay,
I don't want to get this now?

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Yeah, you know I should have asked earlier, And I think, yeah,
there's a lot that goes into that.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
I'm gonna tell you what we do too.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
If you don't want to act like the money, you
want to act like money anything, you'd be like, I'll
be right back, I'm gonna go look around some more.
We just walked in here, so while I think about it,
and then you just don't come back, right.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Or you just said, can I do you need help?

Speaker 11 (43:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (43:13):
I don't need help, right.

Speaker 6 (43:14):
But I definitely But here's the thing I do say
I'm gonna come back, but something that's because I really think,
like do I want to spend that.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
That's why I'm leaving it.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Any time I said I'd be right back, I'm not
coming back.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
That's a good technique, ladies.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Yeah, what's the most you spent on a bag for
young lady?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
That's that was very terrible. I bought a chanel.

Speaker 6 (43:33):
Okay, all right, he's a good man. That's a good man. Savannah. Man,
that's a good man, Savannah. Yeah, okay, all right, all right,
well I thank you for that. Man's a MANO is
the winner here. Sixty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (43:48):

Speaker 12 (43:54):

Well, when we come back, we have a late them,
Timas joining us. And she is a doula. She's put
together this doula expo. This is her third year doing it.
It's grown every year. I remember when she started. It
was in Bushwick then had moved to Williamsburg and now
she has it in Hudson Yards in New York. But
doulas are extremely important. I feel like we don't highlight
that enough. It's something that people are talking about more.

(44:24):
Erica Baddoo is a doula. Yes, if you see her
Instagram page or a Twitter I think she calls herself
like Erica Baddula.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
She also delivers face, She.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Deliver babies and all of that.

Speaker 5 (44:34):
Do I know how to deliver a child?

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Or no?

Speaker 3 (44:37):
I do not, but you can learn. And she also
does classes for doulas. Angela should be a dul to
be certified. She actually tried to get me to be
a Doulah all right, I give dola vibe. Is that
what you did your hands like a whole little baby?

Speaker 5 (44:51):
This small baby? This baby? All right?

Unfortunately I wasn't, Okay, neither one of them.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Neither one of them.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Do you remember what it was like being a dad
in the beginning, like your first your son, I mean
in the.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
Beginning, the beginning of Yeah, of course.

Speaker 12 (45:38):
See when my son was born, I was a closuted okay,
so I didn't get a chance to see him too.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
He was three months.

Speaker 5 (45:44):
Old, all right.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
How was that first feeling when he was three months
old you saw for the first time.

Speaker 5 (45:49):
As a friend dad?

Speaker 12 (45:50):
Right, So being a brand ow dad is just like
big experience for me because I was just getting out
of prison, okay, and the same day I got out, it's.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
The same day I met my son.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Wow, that was like, that's magic.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
Did you cry?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
I think definitely? I was.

Speaker 12 (46:07):
I was emotional because it was it was a big
thing for me. I was getting my freedom back, I
was meeting my three month old son, and you know,
and I had I had hopes and dreams, and I
had a lot of things in front of me.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
And I was just like, man, I gotta do this.
I want to. I'm trying to get in the game,
you know.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
And now you're so be calling you like your dad,
you at work?

Speaker 2 (46:28):
You don't like I got to call him. You got
to keep up? You move here there? What like? It's
too cool for me?

Speaker 12 (46:37):
And you know what I do when I send him
pictures of me and him when he was little and
be like, yeah, remember you had time for me.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
You yuilt him.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
You are guilty. You probably never invited him to Chelsea
House either.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
He's up.

Speaker 12 (46:50):
He pulled up a Chelsea house when you want to, Okay.
I watched him pull up with Chelsea House one day.
He had about three four girls with him.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Like him up. Now, I'm gonna blow him up. But
he was, you know, he's he's outside in the genetics.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
That's not.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
I told him the other day. I said, he said, yo, Dad,
I'm with my friends.

Speaker 12 (47:08):
Were on party bus and were chilling them to shooting
some footage and stuff like that. And I said, oh,
I'm pulling up to come get my cameo.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
That's what you said?

Speaker 2 (47:17):
He said, I don't want to know, and ja like,
I don't understand. I'm a cool box, don't get it.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
And Jasmine, you actually met Latham previously while you were pregnant.
You were early on, and you didn't know that much
about doulas. But you're like, you wish you would have
had one.

Speaker 6 (47:33):
I wish I would have had one. I think Angela,
you're the one that kind of introduced me to doulas.
I wasn't really clear on what they were, and then
you introduced me to her and you kind of told
me what she did and.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
What you know, So it was it was interesting. I
wish I had paid more attention because I.

Speaker 6 (47:45):
One hundred percent would have had a doula for my
pregnancy and labor and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (47:50):
Well lath them timings. He's going to be joining us now.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
So if anybody out there is thinking about having the kids, expecting,
or maybe you're dealing with postpartum, or you're not even
sure you know, she is in a amazing resource for
all of those conversations. So we're going to get into
it now. Latham time is when we come back. Is
way up with Angela.

Speaker 7 (48:07):
Yee, our wealth dog, getting you straight financially, mentally, and physically.
This is Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Yes, it's way up with Angela.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Yee.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
I'm Angela yee. Jasmine from the Jasmine brand is here. Yes,
and a good friend of mine is in the building too,
Latham Thomas. Hey, now, Latham, we all know your work
as Glow Maven, and you are the person that I
feel one of the people who has really really been
spreading the word knowledge about doulas and what doula's do
and also about Black maternal health care.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
Yeah, all right, and so this.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
All is culminating every year with the Doula expos So
can you talk about that.

Speaker 13 (48:42):
Thank you so much for having me up here and
so happy to see y'all. So the Doula Expo by
Mama Glow is essentially a festival that really uplifts birth
work and caregiving and families. And there's all the brands
who really have wrap around services and offering to support folks.
And so we have like CBS Health and Bobby and

(49:03):
l V and all these companies that really mean something
to you if you have a baby, right, we have
a childcare company called VV. This Carol's daughter, who we
have a partnership with through Love Delivered, and just an
amazing group of organizations that come together and we create
this amazing interactive experience for a weekend. It's a two
day festival. It's a Hudson Yards this year, and it's

(49:25):
gonna be amazing because there's content, there's information, there's entertainment,
so it's really gonna be uplifting. But the theme is
birth to the Future, So it's about thinking about a
vision and future for better birth outcomes, you know, safety
and dignity in this process, but also like what do
we want to design right? How do we think about

(49:45):
like a design for the future that really centers our
needs and empowers us. So it's really just like a celebration.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Last time you saw Jasmine, she was pregnant. That was
during the pandemic and she has since had the baby. Jasmine,
talk about your experience of the You did go through
a lot of things.

Speaker 6 (50:01):
Yes, so I had I was fine up for a while,
and then towards the end of my pregnancy, I just
didn't feel good. I had shortness of breath, like you know,
I just would wake up and I just couldn't get
it together. I couldn't breathe, and I just was my
chest was tight and my feet had really blew up.
I had I was here and I was showing Angela
my feet. They was they were swollen.

Speaker 13 (50:20):
Had anybody said anything to you or were you able
to talk to your practitioners about it?

Speaker 6 (50:23):
So I emailed my obgyn and I said, hey, my
feet are swollen up, and she said, only be concerned
if it's just one foot.

Speaker 5 (50:31):
So I was like, okay, and my mom kept saying,
I don't know, Jack, I guess I don't know. So anyway,
we go to an.

Speaker 6 (50:37):
Appointment and they checked my blood pressure and they're like,
oh my gosh. So anyway, I had preclamcy, so I
had to stay in the hospital. They were trying to
make me wait an additional week so her lungs would develop,
but wasn't able to do that, so I was induced.
I try to have a natural chow birth, but every
time I had a contraction, her heart would so I
ended up having an emergency C section. So anyway, I

(50:59):
have pre clams in a parent This is really calm,
especially if you're black woman, if you're really young, or
if you're over thirty five.

Speaker 5 (51:05):
Apparently in Black women.

Speaker 6 (51:06):
Are doulas equipped to help in situations like that, because
you know, my partner and I were kind of lost
with what to do.

Speaker 13 (51:11):
Yeah, this is you know, a great opportunity for education,
right because what adula could do in this setting would
be to interact with you more frequently. So even between
appointments where you're not seeing your provider, I might see
you or whoever's looking at you and say, oh, I'm
noticing some swelling. Because we might end appointment, I might
like rub your legs and feet while we're talking, so

(51:32):
I would notice like you're getting a little bit of swelling.
Is that new for you? Is that something that just
you know was an onset. I empower people to also
take their own urine strips, so you can go on
Amazon and you can get these protein strips, and so
protein is present in the urine. That's also a sign
of preeclampsia and you can alert your doctor. The swelling
in the feet is really a big sign of foggy thinking,

(51:54):
like feeling you said, I couldn't feel like I was
getting it together.

Speaker 5 (51:57):
I might just yeah, especially in the middle of the night,
I just will be some people of my think that's
just because I'm pregnant. Yeah, I don't know part of it.

Speaker 6 (52:02):
And I heard her towards the end it gets rough,
so I'm thinking like, oh, it's just rough. And I
remember so Angela like, yo, my feet are so big,
Like this is so weird.

Speaker 13 (52:09):
This is definitely a thing where you would have someone
who could be seeing some changes and then say, Okay,
here's what I would like you to do. You know,
have your doctor check you know in these ways, and
then have that diagnostic information because as soon as they
put a blood pressure CUF on, they would know.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
Well, that's not the first thing that they did.

Speaker 6 (52:25):
They were just I was just coming for a regular checkup,
and so my partner was like, she's not feeling good,
like can you check her blood pressure?

Speaker 5 (52:30):
And that's why.

Speaker 13 (52:31):
So they waited until you said this is what I'm feeling.

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (52:35):
When I was down for Angela ye day, he was saying,
why don't you go get something to check your blood pressure?
And because I emailed the doctor and she said, I
think it's okay. I just I never did it right.

Speaker 5 (52:44):
That's not the time to not be sure, right doc. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 13 (52:48):
And also not seeing you like she needs to see
you and say, hey, let me actually see because even
if she's thinking like, well this is what I usually see,
maybe like one foot is less swell than the other,
but no, like every indis different, and so for you,
like if you normally don't get swelling and now you have,
then it's like that's a sign. And so these are
kinds of things that we I'm glad that you did

(53:09):
not ignore it and that you brought it to their attention.
But the other thing is, as soon as you got
into that appointment, they should have had your feet out
and been looking at your whole body right to observe.
And and I think that there's so many misses, right,
So many people don't have the opportunity where someone actually
catches it, and so you get underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
You can die, Like we know a woman that has
died for all right, we are talking to Latham Thomas
about her doula expo, amongst other things.

Speaker 5 (53:36):
Do doula's help post.

Speaker 6 (53:38):
Because I had a baby and Niki for a month afterwards,
I had to I had to try to figure out
how to still pump, and then I experienced like postpartum
I had and I was calling Angela trying to talk
to her like about what I'm feeling and stuff.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
So good, Yes, because online courses to do that.

Speaker 5 (53:59):
I'm online course.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
I had to complete that.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
But that's one of the things that Latham We've talked
about too, is the support after giving.

Speaker 13 (54:07):
Absolutely, postpribum support is so critically important. And I would
argue that even though a lot of people like really
focus on birthday, let's support, there's so much that happens
in the postpartum period. Because you don't go see your
doctor again for like six weeks after breath, A lot
happens in six weeks, right, And so having that person
who could come and take care of you, who's there
to help you through recovery, through navigating what to eat,

(54:30):
how to take care of yourself and the baby, and
then just like also monitoring how you're adjusting to new
parenthood because it can be very isolating. Yeah, it can be.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
Depressing, especially if you're by yourself.

Speaker 13 (54:40):
If you're by yourself and if you're navigating the nick
you right, you need somebody to help you figure out, Okay,
how do I get milk stuff? Get my milk there?
How to make sure to like, you know, am I
holding my.

Speaker 5 (54:49):
Baby or just I'm leaving my baby.

Speaker 13 (54:51):
I'm leaving my baby.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Yeah, well I left her for she was there for
a month without me. I was and had to be.

Speaker 6 (54:58):
Yeah, I was devastating and you can't even I had
a change her back from inside that. You know, it
was just so hard. It's hard to think navigate posts and.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Then you're probably looking like hoping that baby's not feeling
by yourself.

Speaker 6 (55:11):
They gave her a little blanket like to hold on to,
like a like a fake like little bear. And I
was like, I'm leaving her like she's by herself, and
they will put like little blanket. It's like she's I'm
like no, no, But I feel like support afterwards especially critical.
You know when you have to leave your baby, is
you know, yes.

Speaker 13 (55:25):
Because that person can like help you also navigate the
difficulty and more in the loss of like what you
wanted to experience, but then also be in a place
with you around. Okay, how do we make sure that
we shore up the support you need to make it
through these next six weeks with the NICKU right, right,
and there's so many things to navigate, right, and then
also how am I setting up the home for you,

(55:46):
how do we make sure that, like we figure out
how to get things ready so that when you have
to head there, what's it gonna look like like you
doing your work and then holding down the floor and
then how many hours can you spend and can we
rotate with your partner and what will that look like?

Speaker 11 (55:58):
Right?

Speaker 13 (55:58):
So, even helping you develop system around how you navigate
the care postpartum is really like the role too, right,
And people don't think about like the mother ring the process.
Once you have a baby, you are so vulnerable and
so we think about like holding a baby and swaddling
them and not leaving them alone and taking care of them.
We never think we should never leave new mothers alone.

(56:18):
We should never leave them unattended. They should always have support.
There should always be somebody there.

Speaker 10 (56:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (56:23):
Right, But we're not thinking this way because in this country,
one in four women are going back to work ten
days after having a baby.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
That's a fact.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
They feel like, I have to work pay in addition
to that. But imagine yeah, ten days later having to
go to.

Speaker 13 (56:39):
Work, going off things is horrible, or.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
Even having a partner who has to go back to
work and now you're home alone late them Thomas is
here with us to make sure you guys follow her
at Glow even will have more with her when we
come back.

Speaker 5 (56:51):
It's way up at Angela Yee.

Speaker 7 (56:52):
You straight financially, mentally and physically. This is wealth Wednesday
on way up with Angela Yee.

Speaker 5 (56:58):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Its way up at Angela ye man de la Yee
and Jasmine from the Dasmine brand is here. We are
talking to Latham Thomas. Let's talk about this because you
and I had a conversation during a pandemic about this
geriatric pregnancy.

Speaker 4 (57:09):
Oh lord, that was me and that term.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
We're not doing that term though, we have to say
what is a geriatric press I saw that word on paper,
I was like, oh my.

Speaker 13 (57:17):
God, which is horrifying?

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Right?

Speaker 13 (57:18):
How did that make you feel old? We have like
really horrifying terminology that's used in medical spaces, always levied
against women. So geriaxtrac pregnancy is determined when someone is
over thirty five years old. You got people going into
this process thinking something's wrong with them. They're also inherently
categorizes high risk right as a result too, so that

(57:41):
impacts the kind of cure you receive also.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
And people rush to get pregnant too before thirty five
because they're like it's going to be too hard after that,
and I don't want a geriatric pregnancy.

Speaker 13 (57:51):
Right, But think about this, Think about how would it
be possible that every single person, regardless of their lifestyle,
what they eat, where they live, how they work, the
type of stress they have, how they metabolize that stress,
where they live in the world, all those are factors
that impact on fertility factor. Right, So why would thirty five,
why would the age be the only piece, right? And

(58:13):
how is it that no matter what's going on in
each of our lives, Like somebody who's living in Japan
and living next to the water and eating fish and
has a stress free life at thirty five, and a
person who's like you know in New York City, you
know hide shops, right, Like that person is not. Those
people at thirty five years all have different biological profiles.

(58:35):
So you can't say that, okay, like this person's feral
and this person's not. They're people who in their twenties
that like can't have a baby because of like lifestyle factors.
And there are people who are well into their forties
getting pregnant by accident, right, so I think it's really
important to like bust through these myths around biological age
and chronological age because they do not run concurrently.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
All Right, we are talking to Latham Thomas about her
Doula Expo, amongst other things. The last thing I want
to talk about is Black Maternal Health Caucus. Right, do
you feel like because I've seen that now that was formed,
I just want to ask you, do you think that there's.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
A lot more that's being done now?

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Because we've seen in Kamala Harris with her initiatives, We've
seeing things happening here in New York. You know, as
you somebody in this space, do you feel like we're
moving forward at the rate that you would like to see?

Speaker 13 (59:23):
The rate could be faster?

Speaker 10 (59:25):
Right?

Speaker 13 (59:26):
If policy could catch up, I think that that would
be great. I do think we need to deploy more resources,
financial resources into communities that are doing this work, into
organizations like ours, Mama Glow would be amazing. But I
think that from the legislative level, and then when we
look at the fact that the federal government does have

(59:46):
doulas on the agenda, that's huge.

Speaker 5 (59:49):
Right.

Speaker 13 (59:49):
They did have a maternal Health blueprint that they released
last year, and I think that was a huge step
in really telling the story about where their policies are
and where they want to put their resources. And we
still need to get the Black Maternal Health monu books
completely passed, right, And so I love that you brought
up the Black Maternal Health Caucus because this has been

(01:00:12):
a group of people who have worked tirelessly to compose
these bills. This is the most comprehensive piece of legislation
that addresses maternal health that we've ever seen, and still
only we can only get pieces of it passed. And
so I think that the work of Senator Corey Booker
and Representative Underwood and others who really been championing this

(01:00:34):
work has been tremendous. But we have so much We
have so much work to do because we have to
convince people on the floor to vote for it. So
this needs to continue to trickle up, I think. But yeah,
I would like to see it. I would like to
see it moving.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Faster and dis for some numbers here, According to the CDC,
black women die at three times their rate of white
women when it comes to pregnancy related deaths. Yes, and
so it is a crisis happening. These numbers aren't lying
about the disparities and birthing while black, you know, that's
the whole you should read birthing while Black. But it's
a national crisis. It is, and that's why legislation does

(01:01:10):
need to be.

Speaker 13 (01:01:11):
Passed and it needs to be house quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
And let's talk about the Doula Expo. Where can people
get tickets.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
It's at Hudson Yards this year, every single year, growing
growing as far as space, the numbers, the sponsors, so
tell people the information so they can make it through.

Speaker 13 (01:01:26):
Awesome. So Doula Expo dot com. It's d O U
l a e Xpo dot com And there's tickets there
and you can come and it's affordable and you can
spend the weekend. Again. You can bring your children. If

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):

hundred two nine fifty one fifty. We also have the

Speaker 7 (01:02:14):
Since whether it's relationship or career advice, Angela's dropping facts.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
You should know if this is ask ye, what's up?

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
It's way up at Angela Yee and it is time
for ask ye. We do have our expert advice giver,
award winning Mano Mano, and Jazzmine from the Jasmine brand
is here, yes, and we do take questions from the voicemail. Also,
we always tell you eight hundred two nine two fifty
one fifty is the number. If you can't get through,
you can always leave a voicemail and we'll still respond.

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
Well, here's one of those questions.

Speaker 15 (01:02:44):
Angelo, good afternoon. I listen to your show every day.
You're in jazz and I guess the question, what advins
would you give for a first time on buyer, a
couple of months marriage, find a house for the first time.
Should they go into a two family to get the income,
or to a string of sign family that they can
afford they can bend buy a two family. I want

(01:03:04):
to advise us to say, to someone who's a couple,
fine house for first time, thank you, have a good day.

Speaker 5 (01:03:11):
All right? You know I love this question. Yeah, this
is right up your alley.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
It is a wealth Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
So I always am going to feel like buying a
two family house is a great investment. Okay, that's because
the income that you have coming in pays for a
part of your mortgage. And a lot of times the
first house I bought was a two family house, and
so that really helped me a lot because what I
was paying as far as my part of the mortgage
is less than what I would have been paying for
rent somewhere else. So if you can get the money

(01:03:37):
upfront to put down on a house, then yes, And
I do want to say right now, I know the
real estate market is all over the place and interest
rates can be really high, so make sure you lock
in a good interest rate as good as possible. Also,
make sure you know about mortgage insurance PMI is what
they call it. So sometimes people will tell you don't
have to put a lot of money down on a house,
but that means that you will have a mortgage insurance

(01:04:00):
and so just make sure you're teck into those things.
That's a lot of unnecessary money. I found that out
when I was buying my first house. That she'll be
paying that's just going to ensure the loan that does
not go toward anything else that will eventually drop off.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
But these are things to keep in mind.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
I did not want to have to pay mortgage insurance,
so I made sure that I put down twenty five
percent so that I wouldn't have to.

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
So it's all of those things.

Speaker 5 (01:04:22):
Does someone need a property manager for this type of unit?

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
Not a two family? I mean, they're right downstairs.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
And I think it's also important to think about who
you rent to, because, yeah, trust me, renting to somebody
that you know can sometimes be a nightmare if that
person isn't paying on time, or if you can't get
them to move out. You know, I really do like
to make sure that I did have a moving forward
because I've had some nightmare situations. I have a real

(01:04:48):
estate agent actually vet the person. Yeah, and I would
recommend not necessarily renting to someone you know. Okay, you know,
at first I thought it was a good idea because
you want somebody that you personally are cool with living
downstairs from you because you're in the same house. But
it can make it difficult when it comes to other things,
like you know, the rent, is it market value? Is

(01:05:10):
it what is comparable to other things? Or do they
expect to get a break from you? And if something
goes wrong, you know, are they going to fix it?
If you need them to move out at some point,
are they going to leave. It's a lot of things
that you have to think about when it's somebody who
you know, So just be careful with that who you
ran out to make sure they have good credit, make
sure you go through the proper channels of knowing who
that person is. Because it's still inside your house, even

(01:05:32):
though it's a separate unit. You want to make sure
that somebody that's there is somebody who's trustworthy. Okay, but yes,
I'm always say if you could get a two or
three family house, something that also gives you income, just
in case there's an emergency, at least you have that.
And lastly, I will say this advice that I always
say that my realtor gave me. This is not your

(01:05:53):
dream and only home. This is your first home, which
is a great investment. And that's what you want, a
great investment. Okay, that's my advice. It's way up with
Angela yee. That's ask ye. Eight hundred two nine two
fifty one fifty is the number. And when we come back,
in case you couldn't get through, we have your last word.

Speaker 5 (01:06:09):
Take up the phone.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Tapping it gets your voice heard. What the word? Here's
the last word on way up with angela Ye.

Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
Yes, it's way up with angela Ye.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):

want to say, Lord of Mercy.

do it?

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
You know?

Speaker 5 (01:06:47):
Crazy? What's crazy?

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Bishop td Jakes and I both did CBS mornings on
the same day, so I ran into him when I
was there, but shout out to Lincoln and to everybody
that is doing this whole Good Soil conference. I actually
am amazed and blown away by being able to be
part of things like this, just because as an entrepreneur myself,
I'm always trying to find ways to connect with other

(01:07:09):
people who are like minded and get advice and get coaching.
All those things are really important. And then tell us
a Secret was today, and we know that is Mano's
absolute favorite things.

Speaker 5 (01:07:20):
This is jam you know what it is.

Speaker 12 (01:07:22):

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
Do you eight hundred two nineteen fifty one fifty last word,
it's way with angela ye yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:08:01):
It's trying from Chicago with our callgol because I heard
Maino say you don't never hit a man's girl. I
support him on that, and that's the rules. You don't
break them codes. But it's a good friends, past friends,
old friends. It used to be you don't go behind
your guys back. It's just it's a code. And I'm
keeping on Walhart. I've been in Chicago for fifty years
and now I an't know my name. I'm Fawn from Chicago,

(01:08:22):
and they know I don't break no codes. I salute
you may I love what dude that.

Speaker 16 (01:08:27):
Just explains about him in it with his homeboy homegirl
when he wants to jail. Is a real tender. I
agree with may No, even if they are no longer friends,
that passed a dress court, not a dress code, a loyalty.

(01:08:47):
It's principalities to certain things and morals to certain things,
regardless if they not friends no more. He was real
tender to go behind his homeboy back period.

Speaker 11 (01:09:00):
It is one of my friends called a gun charge and.

Speaker 9 (01:09:03):
So it's all five thousand.

Speaker 11 (01:09:05):
So of course I'm coming from court.

Speaker 9 (01:09:08):
While like his sister on the way to like.

Speaker 11 (01:09:11):
Pay his bill, she done lost to five thousand in
the parking round. I just so happened to find a
five thousand. But the loophole is food locked up for
a stolen fight arm. It's actually registered in my name,
so I actually go look around in my home.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
You know my gun gond police got it.

Speaker 9 (01:09:31):
They called me, tell me to come get it now.

Speaker 11 (01:09:33):
This is not like they didn't give me no option
to press, no charges with which I wouldn't do it,
nothing like that anyway. I'm just you know, I'm glad
I got to bang it back anyway. But a long
story short, I wanted to tell them, you know, and
get that bread so he can get out here. But
like you need to learn a lesson. You can't be
stealing from your homies anyway.

Speaker 7 (01:09:52):
Yeah, go and know the way going way up with
angela ye
