Well that would shine a light eight hundred and two
ninety two fifty one fifty just in case you couldn't
get through and some ut when we come back and
kenya more, what is going on with Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Will tell you some exclusives from Love Be Scott and
what people are saying. But it looks like she's not
getting her peach. It's way up.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Sure she's about to blow the lead ab off this spot.
Speaker 9 (04:12):
Let's get it.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Oh yeah, angelus feeling at yee te.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Come and get the tea. All right, it's way up.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I'm here, mano's here, no, mane. Oh, let's get into
some yet. I know you don't watch Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Speaker 10 (04:23):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 11 (04:24):
All right?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Well, Kenya Moore, according to love be Scott, has been
fired from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. According to sources,
she's been barred from filming the rest of the season
and the network is figuring out how to cut her
from what's been filmed already so that she doesn't appear
in this new season at all. And this is all
after she allegedly posted sexually explicit images of Brittany Edie,
(04:47):
who's joined the show, performing oral sex at her hair
salon opening event. Really, they said, the moment was so
shocking that the entire cast walked out as.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
An unfolded.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
But how does she get that for?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I guess people had it and she's she posted it.
I don't know, But according to other sources, they told
TMZ that Kenya will not return as a cast member
for the rest of production for the new season after
she was sidelined, but they're saying she's not been fired.
Both sides have agreed that she's going to just take
a break from the show for now, and Bravo is
keeping the door open for a future return. But Kenya
(05:23):
is considering legal options at this point because she's not
happy with how this whole thing unfolded. Now, Candy did
come to her defense after all of this and said that,
you know, she feels like she should still be on
the show and gave her explanation.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Candy also recently did an interview where she told Page
six their virtual reality podcasts that she stopped using ozembic
because she did not get the results that she was
supposed to get.
Speaker 11 (05:51):
As sure. I tried it and I didn't lose any weight.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know.
Speaker 11 (05:54):
My daughter was like, I don't know what the problem is.
I've not seen this in other people. It didn't hear
my app. I know some people like, oh, I can't
eat you. So I gained I didn't lose anything. The
sad thing about it is when you see it work
for other people and it doesn't work for you, it
makes you do press.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
All right, So yeah, that has to be tough and listen,
I know a lot of people who started doing ozembic
or some of these other weight loss drugs and then
stopped because of other issues. Because sometimes it can make
you be constipated. It can definitely do a lot, and
when you stop using it, a lot of times people
do gain that weight back.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Right, So basically you gotta use it fast forever.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, it is definitely.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I mean it was for diabetes initially, and so that
was medication.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You have to be on forever.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
All right, Well that is your yet and when we
come back, we have about last night. You had a
party last night, man, know, we want to hear all
about it. All right, that's why you drinking tea with
honey right now. It's way up.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
I'm here mainos here normal, it's time for about last night.
I actually went to the Commissioner's Cup game, the New
York Liberty versus the Minnesota Lynx with my girl, Kimo Sarrio.
Speaker 4 (07:12):

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, that's what she was taking today.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
We know we wrote a cop show together.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, what's going on with that?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's coming. We gotta we gotta hustle it. We gotta
get busy.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Kim does not play with her writing, producing all of that.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Unfortunately, the New York.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Liberty lost, but it was a really good game. Ninety
four eighty nine. They lost, and so the Links won
the Commissioner's Cup trophy, which is the first time they've won.
Speaker 3 (07:34):

Speaker 2 (11:08):
My secret is? I've been working as an employer, but
I told my wife that I.
Speaker 15 (11:12):
Own my own business, So now I got to give
my own business because my funds is getting tight.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
So basically you a catfish.
Speaker 15 (11:22):
Yeah, really you are the thing is my business is
not big enough to grow. I'm only one person, so
the help that I need is not there. But I
have to present myself as another guy saying that I
got a job to do, which is a job, but
the job that I get doesn't pay like a contract.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
It feels like you're making excuses for not being honest.
I am honest because I think your wife would be,
so she wouldn't be supportive of you, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
She's not though. Any project that I have that's not employee,
it's trying to be part of my painting service. There's
no type of support. No, that's just a regular job.
You ain't making enough money, so it's like I'm never
making enough money.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, it's never well, this feels like it's going to
be a cycle.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
If it's never enough, we'll.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Get your new wife.
Speaker 15 (12:17):

start my own business.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
You already have a business, No, right, you have an LLC.
You just want to take it to the next level.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I think references are always a great thing. You got
to make sure people know you have these services available.
Start within your circle and make sure you do great work,
and then eventually you have to expand and hire other people.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, Before I can hire, I need that job.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Okay, I'm fine with that. It's your wife that has
the issue. These are all choices that you make in
your relationship. And you can either tell her the truth,
come clean and let her know I'm trying to get
my business going and I'm running low on funds.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Or you can continue the way that you are doing.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
This is where you're being deceptive and giving her all
your money but not handling your business for yourself. But
you have to make that decision absolutely. But listen, we
gotta go. But thank you so much for sharing with us.
And now you gotta let you let your wife know.
That's what marriage is about, being honest. All right, Well,

sitting down with Kiki Palmer to discuss the issues that
she had with Young Miami that played out very publicly
on Twitter. They have of course since made up. And
here's what you have to say.
Speaker 13 (16:28):
I was more like, more so hurt and gag like
I did not want that to happen. It was stupid
and it's done now. It's just a funny thing of time.
So it's like, I can't believe, you know, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Did not like that at all.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I know, and I'm glad, and you know what, things
do happen when you work with somebody closely, and it's
good that you can let that happen and then move
on past it and feel like it's just a.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I know.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
But you know the problem is that in this day
and age, things play out on the inter and not
so much, and people will weigh in and be like, oh,
it looked like they're not messing with each other.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I feel like the people.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I feel like they allow people to bring them in
there because people were saying stuff for so long and and.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Then next thing, you know, you feel like sub me.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Yeah, all right, well that is your Yet when we
come back, we have under the radar. These are the
stories that are flying under the radar. They are not
in the headlines, but you need to know about them.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It's way up. God got news.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
All right, it's way up.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
I'm here manos in the building, right you ready for
these under the radar stories on a wealth Wednesday. So
in Denver they did a basic income project and it
gave people experiencing homelessness one thousand dollars a month, and
a year later, nearly half of the participants had housing.
It was actually a whole project that they did. It
(17:50):
was an experiment, and so more than eight hundred people
were selected to participate, and there was one group. Group
A got one thousand dollars per month for a year.
Group B got sixty five hundred dollars for the first
month and then five hundred dollars for the next eleven months,
and then groups see who was the control group they
got fifty dollars per month, And so about forty five
percent of participants in all of the groups were living
(18:12):
in a house or apartment that they rented our own
by the end of the ten months. They did say
though towards the end of the experiment a lot of
people did have a little bit of panic when they
knew the payments would be ending, as would be natural now.
Mark Donovan is the founder and executive director of the
Denver Basic Income Project. He said his goal is to
make this permanent. He said, we believe the first year
(18:33):
of the program established a sensustability for participants. The second
year and beyond is when individuals can experience and even
more profound transformation. And they want policymakers to establish permanent
funding streams for programs like that. You know, it actually
does also save money for people. You know, when we
pay our taxes, it does save money for things that
(18:57):
are being paid for with your taxes. By doing something
like this, people might be like, we're just giving money away,
but what you're actually doing is setting up like that
sense of stability for people. And so it's definitely feels
like a good thing to be able to do. You know,
you never know when something like that can happen, and
that is you're under the radar now.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You know, we have the way up Mix at the
top of the hour and.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It is a Wealth Wednesday, So we'll be talking to
Divine Reef. She previously had gotten a shine of lights
because she is a black woman who owns multiple hotels.
Every time I run into her, she's like, what are
you going to buy your first hotel? And she also

He does have a partner.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Okay, so you're the side piece kind of yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
But I don't want to be seen. There's no side
because I feel more value my position. I deserve more.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I agree that you deserve one, but let's call it
what it is. You got to be brutally honest with yourself.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
So he's not leaving his wife, correct, And he's told
you that.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
I never asked him to you, but I just I
already know that it's not going to happen, and I
don't want to see happened.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But you don't want it to happen. So what do
you want?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I want to leave?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
You want to leave? And what is stopping you? Because
your feelings are involved? Yeah, every single day that you
decide to stay, it's going to be another day that
you are preventing yourself from finding what's truly out there
for you.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
You think you're the only side piece.
Speaker 12 (26:10):
I know that I am.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
How do you know that you don't want and know
only the baby?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Don't let man no gash you up? Stop it.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
You the one to know, baby you up.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Does his wife know about you?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
She does not.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Would you mind being in a relationship with his wife too?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
No?
Speaker 12 (26:30):
Because I don't want to share.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
But you already well, make it makes sense your mind
as well.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Just come under one roof like, make it makes sense
you already?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
This cannot be the answer every time?
Speaker 12 (26:45):
Cannot.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I just want to share.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
It would be nice to have somebody that you could
call anytime you feel like it, that you could see
wherever you want.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Who you can, and you could be miserable in that
same situation.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
You want vacations with eventually started life with and every
single day that you are committing yourself to this person, who,
by the way, has his cake and eat it. So
he got this woman over here, he got you. That's
got to understand what his situation is and play your position.
You not to play your position happy.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Oh, that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
And she's happy though you're happy, she's not happy.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
That guy makes her feel happy right.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
When he's there and when he's.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
That's what counts. That's the only matter. I want you
to be happy more frequently.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Talk to him about coming under one roof with his
wife and y'all be sister wise.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I'm telling you that'll.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Work already in his miming that I don't want it.
If you don't want that, go for what you want,
don't settle for what you have that part Kisa like
I'm doing whatever anyway. I'm just saying, this is going
to drag you out. It's not going well. But you
know you can make a decision and move on that
(27:58):
or let it happen to you. Are you gonna make
it happen for you or let it happen to you?
But I'm just hoping that this doesn't end badly for
you and your feelings are gonna end up getting way
more hurt later.
Speaker 3 (28:11):

your pursue your happiness.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Okay, advice under the roof, girl, stop playing all right?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Well that was asking you eight hundred and two ninety
two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, we'll
still take your voicemail and when we come back, man,
talk about empowerment. I got my girl, Devon Reeves joining us.
She is a black woman who owns multiple hotels, and
she brought her team.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
With her, Omrie Head and Damon Smith.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
When we're talking about management, financing all of the things
that you need to know because you can do it too,
it's way up.
Speaker 14 (28:51):
I had a dream of wealthy, and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
This is wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
What's up this way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I'm Angela Yee and my girl is here, Devon Reeves. Okay,
you know her from the Vaughn group, but she is
a hotel owner. You own three hotels, correct, and you
are always trying to get me to invest in hotel.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Ownership, but you actually have two people with you.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
This is a whole tri effecta when it comes to
investing in hotel ownership.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
All right, so we have Damon Smith here. You are
the owner of Senergy Management, Senergy House Chality Management, Yes,
Senegy Hospitality Management, Which what do you do?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
So we are a third party management company, so we
manage hotels for hotel owners and we're also hotel investors
as well, myself.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And my wife. Okay, how many hotels currently.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
We're managing four and we have three in pipeline under
contract to transact by the end of August.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Okay, and on Marie Head is here. You are a
hotel broker.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Correct, So what I do is two hats. One is
I hope people sell their hotels.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Right now, Devon Reeves from the Von group, O, Marie Head,
and Damon Smith are here talking about hotel ownership. Yeah,
when it comes to hotel ownership, what percentage of black
people are hotel owner is divined.
Speaker 16 (30:05):
So they're actually over fifty nine thousand hotels in the
United States and less than one percent of the hotels
are owned by black people, less than probably what zero
point five percent probably owned by black women.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That is insane because we definitely stay at some hotels,
work at hotels.
Speaker 16 (30:23):
So there was a report that was put out I
think it was by MMG Global that was put out
in twenty nineteen, I believe, and as a Black community,
the Black travel dollar was over one hundred and nine
with billion, but yet we own less than one percent,
So we're not even really circulating that money within our communities.
(30:43):
And so I'm on a mission, actually all three of us,
we're on a mission to increase that. So I have courses,
you know, I have the book by Hotel.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
You know.
Speaker 16 (30:53):
I've launched a platform called a Vestor's crowd funding platform
where individuals are sponsors can raise capital or equity for
their hotel. And one of the main reasons I create
Investor so folks can actually invest in me. You can
invest in properties is little as five thousand dollars. Typically
(31:15):
investing in hotels is a minimum of seven figures or
very high six figures. And I saw that there was
an opportunity for our community because there are people who
do want to diversify their investment portfolio. And so that's
why I wanted to make sure that I see people
who look like me, you know, in the ownership space.
(31:36):
I'm glad that at these ownership conferences there's more and
more people who are looking like us. When I'm in
the boardrooms, I want to see more people who look
like me. I want to see more owner representation. And
the reason why because owners make decisions right.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
We can put people in jobs.
Speaker 16 (31:53):
If somebody wants to actually do business with the hotel,
meaning you know, put their soaps.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Put their coffee in, and that's a big deal.
Speaker 16 (32:01):
I saw that there was an opportunity and now I'm
in a position and I've created a community and a platform,
and the brands are and they've been seeing their brands,
hotel brands that have diversity programs. Choice has the Emerging
Markets will now it's sore, WNDOM has Bold and Women
on the Room, and IHG has the Lift program and
so they're really starting to see the opportunity of diverse
(32:25):
hotel owners and they're working.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
With folks like myself to get the message.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Up all right again, we have Devinea Reeves from the
Von Group, a mari Head and Damon Smith here with us.
We're talking about ownership of hotels. You might have never
thought you could do that, but they'll explain how and
what resources are available to you.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
We have more with them when we come back. It's
way up on a Wealth Wednesday.
Speaker 14 (32:47):
Kind of dream of wealthy and I don't mind sharing
my wealth dogs.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is Wealth
Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Its Way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and
happy Wealth Wednesday. We have Devna Reads from the Vonn
Group alongside o Marie Head and Damon Smith here with
us today talking about hotel ownership and Damon, you're getting
emotional and so I would love for you to jump
in just because I feel like there's something that you
want to.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
You know, I'm a very spiritual person.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, there's a theme of faith because when you're
doing something that nobody else believes that you can do,
and everybody tells you no, yeah, but you know that
you know that you have been called and anointed to
do what you're doing. The necessity to be resolute in
the face of every mountain that's in front of you.
(33:35):
One of the things that gravitated me towards Yvonne is
her undying commitment to not just being a hotel owner,
but the education platform. Yeah, she's talking about two of
her investors that started off as investors with her. We
just took over their first hotel, Solo Hotel in Memphis,
(33:58):
and we're getting ready to take over their second hotel,
their first full service hotel, my first full service hotel
under management in July. And I get emotional because I
think back when I was washing those dishes, and I
don't give nothing for my journey. It's just an amazing
feeling when you trap it out with your tribe, you
(34:19):
know what I'm saying. So this isn't just something that
happened overnight and we're just like sitting up here hanging out,
and you know, it's it's something that is cultivated. You know,
I'm from Alabama and my family's been in agriculture for
a long time. So I believe in what you plant,
giving it the love that it needs because it's not
(34:39):
just the soil, it's not just the water, it's not
just the sun, but everything that you put into that
seed makes it growth.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Right now, Devna Reeves from the Vine Group, O Mari
Head and Damon Smith are here talking about hotel ownership
for anybody listening and if they're like, okay, I'm interested,
what would you tell them? Is the first step to
figure out how can I get on this path to
ho tell ownership?
Speaker 9 (35:00):
First, see what your bank account looking like.
Speaker 16 (35:02):
So talk to your financial advisor to see if you
can go in the path of owning. Go investing, okay,
And then also investing in hotels has its benefits when
it comes to Texas. Okay, right, So that's why we
always say, talk to your financial advisor to see what
works for you. But if you know, if you don't
have that much, probably the most economical way to get
started investing in hotels would be reads of real estate
(35:25):
investment trusts, and that's it's essentially kind of like investment stock.
Speaker 9 (35:30):
Or you can invest in a piece of a hotel.
It's like a piece of a hotel.
Speaker 16 (35:33):
But if you want to invest directly into the hotel,
finding folks like us, but the biggest thing you go
to investor let him knowur dot com and the book
and exactly listen, this has been amazing valuable information. So
where can people find each one of you if they
want to follow you and get started on their journey
(35:56):
figuring out what they want to do and making sure
they have credible people that they can get knowledge from.
Speaker 1 (36:01):

their clothes so that they have clean clothes to.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Wear for the week, and it's called the laundry Bus.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
He unbuiled this at a Juneteenth event in downtown Atlanta,
and he partnered with several other organizations to get this done.
And he also helps people get haircuts and things like
that that they need because housing is such a huge issue.
He said, a lot of times, it's not people that
smell us their clothes and we have to wear the
same clothes day in and day out, and it's so he.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Just rides around and just pulls up on people.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Hey, yeah, people can come on there, you know, wash
their clothes.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And he said, is he like taking the clothes off
their back and washing them?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Now?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I think usually you know, people will have some clothes,
but yeah, they'll be able to do that. So that's
nice that you can have that basic human necessity, just
some clean clothes.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
All right.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
So shout out to you for that, Nikki kr for

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Well that would shine a light eight hundred and two
ninety two fifty one fifty just in case you couldn't
get through and some ut when we come back and
kenya more, what is going on with Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Will tell you some exclusives from Love Be Scott and
what people are saying. But it looks like she's not
getting her peach. It's way up.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
Sure she's about to blow the lead ab off this spot.
Speaker 9 (04:12):
Let's get it.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Oh yeah, angelus feeling at yee te.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Come and get the tea. All right, it's way up.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I'm here, mano's here, no, mane. Oh, let's get into
some yet. I know you don't watch Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Speaker 10 (04:23):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 11 (04:24):
All right?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Well, Kenya Moore, according to love be Scott, has been
fired from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. According to sources,
she's been barred from filming the rest of the season
and the network is figuring out how to cut her
from what's been filmed already so that she doesn't appear
in this new season at all. And this is all
after she allegedly posted sexually explicit images of Brittany Edie,
(04:47):
who's joined the show, performing oral sex at her hair
salon opening event. Really, they said, the moment was so
shocking that the entire cast walked out as.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
An unfolded.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
But how does she get that for?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I guess people had it and she's she posted it.
I don't know, But according to other sources, they told
TMZ that Kenya will not return as a cast member
for the rest of production for the new season after
she was sidelined, but they're saying she's not been fired.
Both sides have agreed that she's going to just take
a break from the show for now, and Bravo is
keeping the door open for a future return. But Kenya
(05:23):
is considering legal options at this point because she's not
happy with how this whole thing unfolded. Now, Candy did
come to her defense after all of this and said that,
you know, she feels like she should still be on
the show and gave her explanation.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Candy also recently did an interview where she told Page
six their virtual reality podcasts that she stopped using ozembic
because she did not get the results that she was
supposed to get.
Speaker 11 (05:51):
As sure. I tried it and I didn't lose any weight.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know.
Speaker 11 (05:54):
My daughter was like, I don't know what the problem is.
I've not seen this in other people. It didn't hear
my app. I know some people like, oh, I can't
eat you. So I gained I didn't lose anything. The
sad thing about it is when you see it work
for other people and it doesn't work for you, it
makes you do press.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
All right, So yeah, that has to be tough and listen,
I know a lot of people who started doing ozembic
or some of these other weight loss drugs and then
stopped because of other issues. Because sometimes it can make
you be constipated. It can definitely do a lot, and
when you stop using it, a lot of times people
do gain that weight back.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Right, So basically you gotta use it fast forever.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, it is definitely.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
I mean it was for diabetes initially, and so that
was medication.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
You have to be on forever.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
All right, Well that is your yet and when we
come back, we have about last night. You had a
party last night, man, know, we want to hear all

York Liberty versus the Minnesota Lynx with my girl, Kimo Sarrio.
Speaker 4 (07:12):

Speaker 4 (07:15):

Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's coming. We gotta we gotta hustle it. We gotta
get busy.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Kim does not play with her writing, producing all of that.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Unfortunately, the New York.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Liberty lost, but it was a really good game. Ninety
four eighty nine. They lost, and so the Links won
the Commissioner's Cup trophy, which is the first time they've won.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I think the Liberty won last year.
Speaker 5 (07:36):

What's your secret?
Speaker 12 (10:18):
My secret is, before me and my boyfriend got together,
he had met with his best friend's sister.

And when we went together, and we had a little
argument and he slid back in.
Speaker 4 (10:29):

Speaker 5 (11:02):
All right, Well, thank you for calling. Good luck in

Speaker 2 (11:08):
My secret is? I've been working as an employer, but
I told my wife that I.
Speaker 15 (11:12):
Own my own business, So now I got to give
my own business because my funds is getting tight.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
So basically you a catfish.
Speaker 15 (11:22):
Yeah, really you are the thing is my business is
not big enough to grow. I'm only one person, so
the help that I need is not there. But I
have to present myself as another guy saying that I
got a job to do, which is a job, but
the job that I get doesn't pay like a contract.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
It feels like you're making excuses for not being honest.
I am honest because I think your wife would be,
so she wouldn't be supportive of you, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
She's not though. Any project that I have that's not employee,
it's trying to be part of my painting service. There's
no type of support. No, that's just a regular job.
You ain't making enough money, so it's like I'm never
making enough money.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, it's never well, this feels like it's going to
be a cycle.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
If it's never enough, we'll.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Get your new wife.
Speaker 15 (12:17):
He and may.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
No, I need to know where should I start to
start my own business.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
You already have a business, No, right, you have an LLC.
You just want to take it to the next level.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I think references are always a great thing. You got
to make sure people know you have these services available.
Start within your circle and make sure you do great work,
and then eventually you have to expand and hire other people.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Okay, Before I can hire, I need that job.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Okay, I'm fine with that. It's your wife that has
the issue. These are all choices that you make in
your relationship. And you can either tell her the truth,
come clean and let her know I'm trying to get
my business going and I'm running low on funds.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Or you can continue the way that you are doing.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
This is where you're being deceptive and giving her all
your money but not handling your business for yourself. But
you have to make that decision absolutely. But listen, we
gotta go. But thank you so much for sharing with us.
And now you gotta let you let your wife know.
That's what marriage is about, being honest. All right, Well,

conspiracy theorists are wrong, good for you. You own some beautiful

sitting down with Kiki Palmer to discuss the issues that
she had with Young Miami that played out very publicly
on Twitter. They have of course since made up. And
here's what you have to say.
Speaker 13 (16:28):
I was more like, more so hurt and gag like
I did not want that to happen. It was stupid
and it's done now. It's just a funny thing of time.
So it's like, I can't believe, you know, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Did not like that at all.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I know, and I'm glad, and you know what, things
do happen when you work with somebody closely, and it's
good that you can let that happen and then move
on past it and feel like it's just a.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I know.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
But you know the problem is that in this day
and age, things play out on the inter and not
so much, and people will weigh in and be like, oh,
it looked like they're not messing with each other.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I feel like the people.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
I feel like they allow people to bring them in
there because people were saying stuff for so long and and.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Then next thing, you know, you feel like sub me.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Yeah, all right, well that is your Yet when we
come back, we have under the radar. These are the
stories that are flying under the radar. They are not
in the headlines, but you need to know about them.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
It's way up. God got news.
Speaker 7 (17:22):
This in the news that relates to you. These stories
are flying under the radar.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
All right, it's way up.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
I'm here manos in the building, right you ready for
these under the radar stories on a wealth Wednesday. So
in Denver they did a basic income project and it
gave people experiencing homelessness one thousand dollars a month, and
a year later, nearly half of the participants had housing.
It was actually a whole project that they did. It
(17:50):
was an experiment, and so more than eight hundred people
were selected to participate, and there was one group. Group
A got one thousand dollars per month for a year.
Group B got sixty five hundred dollars for the first
month and then five hundred dollars for the next eleven months,
and then groups see who was the control group they
got fifty dollars per month, And so about forty five
percent of participants in all of the groups were living
(18:12):
in a house or apartment that they rented our own
by the end of the ten months. They did say
though towards the end of the experiment a lot of
people did have a little bit of panic when they
knew the payments would be ending, as would be natural now.
Mark Donovan is the founder and executive director of the
Denver Basic Income Project. He said his goal is to
make this permanent. He said, we believe the first year
(18:33):
of the program established a sensustability for participants. The second
year and beyond is when individuals can experience and even
more profound transformation. And they want policymakers to establish permanent
funding streams for programs like that. You know, it actually
does also save money for people. You know, when we
pay our taxes, it does save money for things that
(18:57):
are being paid for with your taxes. By doing something
like this, people might be like, we're just giving money away,
but what you're actually doing is setting up like that
sense of stability for people. And so it's definitely feels
like a good thing to be able to do. You know,
you never know when something like that can happen, and
that is you're under the radar now.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You know, we have the way up Mix at the
top of the hour and.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It is a Wealth Wednesday, So we'll be talking to
Divine Reef. She previously had gotten a shine of lights

you going to buy your first hotel? And she also
has Amar Head and Damon Smith with her. We're going
to talk about all things like funding, management, everything you
need to know about owning a hotel. You may feel
(19:40):
like that's impossible, but it's definitely not. We're going to
tell you how. It's way up way She's like the
like they Angel Jean, like they and Jeli Jean.
Speaker 7 (19:50):

Speaker 4 (25:12):

He does have a partner.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Okay, so you're the side piece kind of yeah.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
But I don't want to be seen. There's no side
because I feel more value my position. I deserve more.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I agree that you deserve one, but let's call it
what it is. You got to be brutally honest with yourself.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
So he's not leaving his wife, correct, And he's told
you that.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
I never asked him to you, but I just I
already know that it's not going to happen, and I
don't want to see happened.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But you don't want it to happen. So what do
you want?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I want to leave?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
You want to leave? And what is stopping you? Because
your feelings are involved? Yeah, every single day that you
decide to stay, it's going to be another day that
you are preventing yourself from finding what's truly out there
for you.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
You think you're the only side piece.
Speaker 12 (26:10):
I know that I am.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
How do you know that you don't want and know
only the baby?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
That's right?
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Don't let man no gash you up? Stop it.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
You the one to know, baby you up.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Does his wife know about you?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
She does not.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Would you mind being in a relationship with his wife too?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
No?
Speaker 12 (26:30):
Because I don't want to share.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
But you already well, make it makes sense your mind
as well.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Just come under one roof like, make it makes sense
you already?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
This cannot be the answer every time?
Speaker 12 (26:45):
Cannot.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I just want to share.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
It would be nice to have somebody that you could
call anytime you feel like it, that you could see
wherever you want.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Who you can, and you could be miserable in that
same situation.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
You want vacations with eventually started life with and every
single day that you are committing yourself to this person, who,
by the way, has his cake and eat it. So
he got this woman over here, he got you. That's
got to understand what his situation is and play your position.
You not to play your position happy.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Oh, that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
And she's happy though you're happy, she's not happy.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
That guy makes her feel happy right.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
When he's there and when he's.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
That's what counts. That's the only matter. I want you
to be happy more frequently.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Talk to him about coming under one roof with his
wife and y'all be sister wise.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I'm telling you that'll.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Work already in his miming that I don't want it.
If you don't want that, go for what you want,
don't settle for what you have that part Kisa like
I'm doing whatever anyway. I'm just saying, this is going
to drag you out. It's not going well. But you
know you can make a decision and move on that
(27:58):
or let it happen to you. Are you gonna make
it happen for you or let it happen to you?
But I'm just hoping that this doesn't end badly for
you and your feelings are gonna end up getting way
more hurt later.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Listen, go out and make it happen.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Either stay and settle or get out there and make
your pursue your happiness.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Okay, advice under the roof, girl, stop playing all right?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Well that was asking you eight hundred and two ninety
two fifty one fifty. If you couldn't get through, we'll
still take your voicemail and when we come back, man,
talk about empowerment. I got my girl, Devon Reeves joining us.
She is a black woman who owns multiple hotels, and
she brought her team.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
With her, Omrie Head and Damon Smith.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
When we're talking about management, financing all of the things
that you need to know because you can do it too,
it's way up.
Speaker 14 (28:51):
I had a dream of wealthy, and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog getting you straight financially, mentally and physically.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
This is wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
What's up this way up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I'm Angela Yee and my girl is here, Devon Reeves. Okay,
you know her from the Vaughn group, but she is
a hotel owner. You own three hotels, correct, and you
are always trying to get me to invest in hotel.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Ownership, but you actually have two people with you.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
This is a whole tri effecta when it comes to
investing in hotel ownership.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
All right, so we have Damon Smith here. You are
the owner of Senergy Management, Senergy House Chality Management, Yes,
Senegy Hospitality Management, Which what do you do?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
So we are a third party management company, so we
manage hotels for hotel owners and we're also hotel investors
as well, myself.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And my wife. Okay, how many hotels currently.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
We're managing four and we have three in pipeline under
contract to transact by the end of August.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Okay, and on Marie Head is here. You are a
hotel broker.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Correct, So what I do is two hats. One is
I hope people sell their hotels.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Right now, Devon Reeves from the Von group, O, Marie Head,
and Damon Smith are here talking about hotel ownership. Yeah,
when it comes to hotel ownership, what percentage of black
people are hotel owner is divined.
Speaker 16 (30:05):
So they're actually over fifty nine thousand hotels in the
United States and less than one percent of the hotels
are owned by black people, less than probably what zero
point five percent probably owned by black women.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That is insane because we definitely stay at some hotels,
work at hotels.
Speaker 16 (30:23):
So there was a report that was put out I
think it was by MMG Global that was put out
in twenty nineteen, I believe, and as a Black community,
the Black travel dollar was over one hundred and nine
with billion, but yet we own less than one percent,
So we're not even really circulating that money within our communities.
(30:43):
And so I'm on a mission, actually all three of us,
we're on a mission to increase that. So I have courses,
you know, I have the book by Hotel.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
You know.
Speaker 16 (30:53):
I've launched a platform called a Vestor's crowd funding platform
where individuals are sponsors can raise capital or equity for
their hotel. And one of the main reasons I create
Investor so folks can actually invest in me. You can
invest in properties is little as five thousand dollars. Typically
(31:15):
investing in hotels is a minimum of seven figures or
very high six figures. And I saw that there was
an opportunity for our community because there are people who
do want to diversify their investment portfolio. And so that's
why I wanted to make sure that I see people
who look like me, you know, in the ownership space.
(31:36):
I'm glad that at these ownership conferences there's more and
more people who are looking like us. When I'm in
the boardrooms, I want to see more people who look
like me. I want to see more owner representation. And
the reason why because owners make decisions right.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
We can put people in jobs.
Speaker 16 (31:53):
If somebody wants to actually do business with the hotel,
meaning you know, put their soaps.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Put their coffee in, and that's a big deal.
Speaker 16 (32:01):
I saw that there was an opportunity and now I'm
in a position and I've created a community and a platform,
and the brands are and they've been seeing their brands,
hotel brands that have diversity programs. Choice has the Emerging
Markets will now it's sore, WNDOM has Bold and Women
on the Room, and IHG has the Lift program and
so they're really starting to see the opportunity of diverse
(32:25):
hotel owners and they're working.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
With folks like myself to get the message.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Up all right again, we have Devinea Reeves from the
Von Group, a mari Head and Damon Smith here with us.
We're talking about ownership of hotels. You might have never
thought you could do that, but they'll explain how and
what resources are available to you.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
We have more with them when we come back. It's
way up on a Wealth Wednesday.
Speaker 14 (32:47):
Kind of dream of wealthy and I don't mind sharing
my wealth dogs.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is Wealth
Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
Its Way up with Angela Yee. I'm Angela Yee and
happy Wealth Wednesday. We have Devna Reads from the Vonn
Group alongside o Marie Head and Damon Smith here with
us today talking about hotel ownership and Damon, you're getting
emotional and so I would love for you to jump
in just because I feel like there's something that you
want to.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
You know, I'm a very spiritual person.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, there's a theme of faith because when you're
doing something that nobody else believes that you can do,
and everybody tells you no, yeah, but you know that
you know that you have been called and anointed to
do what you're doing. The necessity to be resolute in
the face of every mountain that's in front of you.
(33:35):
One of the things that gravitated me towards Yvonne is
her undying commitment to not just being a hotel owner,
but the education platform. Yeah, she's talking about two of
her investors that started off as investors with her. We
just took over their first hotel, Solo Hotel in Memphis,
(33:58):
and we're getting ready to take over their second hotel,
their first full service hotel, my first full service hotel
under management in July. And I get emotional because I
think back when I was washing those dishes, and I
don't give nothing for my journey. It's just an amazing
feeling when you trap it out with your tribe, you
(34:19):
know what I'm saying. So this isn't just something that
happened overnight and we're just like sitting up here hanging out,
and you know, it's it's something that is cultivated. You know,
I'm from Alabama and my family's been in agriculture for
a long time. So I believe in what you plant,
giving it the love that it needs because it's not
(34:39):
just the soil, it's not just the water, it's not
just the sun, but everything that you put into that
seed makes it growth.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Right now, Devna Reeves from the Vine Group, O Mari
Head and Damon Smith are here talking about hotel ownership
for anybody listening and if they're like, okay, I'm interested,
what would you tell them? Is the first step to
figure out how can I get on this path to
ho tell ownership?
Speaker 9 (35:00):
First, see what your bank account looking like.
Speaker 16 (35:02):
So talk to your financial advisor to see if you
can go in the path of owning. Go investing, okay,
And then also investing in hotels has its benefits when
it comes to Texas. Okay, right, So that's why we
always say, talk to your financial advisor to see what
works for you. But if you know, if you don't
have that much, probably the most economical way to get
started investing in hotels would be reads of real estate
(35:25):
investment trusts, and that's it's essentially kind of like investment stock.
Speaker 9 (35:30):
Or you can invest in a piece of a hotel.
It's like a piece of a hotel.
Speaker 16 (35:33):
But if you want to invest directly into the hotel,
finding folks like us, but the biggest thing you go
to investor let him knowur dot com and the book
and exactly listen, this has been amazing valuable information. So
where can people find each one of you if they
want to follow you and get started on their journey
(35:56):
figuring out what they want to do and making sure
they have credible people that they can get knowledge from.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
