Speaker 4 (00:41):
He is an attorney though, does he win any cases?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But he is representing Ta, the person that's suing Fat
Joe okay as well. But we'll talk about that in
a second. It is a wealth Wednesday. Rachel Larray is
going to be joining us. She's the author of Black Capitalists,
a Blueprint for what is possible. You know, there's a
difference between regular old capitalism and black capitalism. We'll talk
about that today, but let's get the show started if
(01:05):
we can.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
With some love and some positivity.

Speaker 6 (01:20):
Shanna light on them, shine a light on them. It's
time to shine a light on them.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
All right, his way up at the ANGELA Ye, I'm
here at my guest host, Arman Wiggins.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
You're kind of like a New Yorker, now.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know what a little bit I am, and I'm
actually having a good time.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Well, the primaries were yesterday, so you know we have
ranked choice voting here in New York.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
You can number one through five your choice.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And Mom Donnie is going to be the Democratic nominee
for the elections. Is that amazing? This is a big
deal because this is the first time. If he wins,
well we'll have actually a Muslim mayor in New York
and that's never happened before, so that could be a
really big deal. But Cuomo actually had to just go
ahead and say you got it, bro all right, Well
(02:05):
here's Mom Donnie.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Tonight we made history.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible
until it is done.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
My friends, we have done it.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
I will be.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Your Democratic nominee for the.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Mayor of New York City.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Ain't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah? That's crazy?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Like and I want to say because I met him
early on, I actually hosted a panel of discussions with
mayoral candidates and so he was one of He took
the train there and everything.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
But yeah, so shout out to him.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
That's a big deal and we'll see what happens next,
because you know, still Eric Adams is in it as
an independent and Cuomo, who people thought was going to
be the front runner, actually had to concede.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Why do you think that that happened.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think there was a lot of people saying, do
not rank Cuomo at all. Cuomo definitely, and I think
in the debates did not perform well and a lot
of things that he did in the past kept coming
back up.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
All right, well, Jay, who do you want to shine
a light on?
Speaker 7 (03:06):
I want to shine a light on monkiup Asia. You
got sixteen days until our wedding?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Were y'all getting married at.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
We're getting married at the Embasy Hotel?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Okay, okay, we see you? And is it a big wedding?
How many people?
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Eighty eighty people, all right, that's.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
A nice size.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And how involved were you and planning the wedding? Were
you super hands on or was she kind of running
the ship?
Speaker 7 (03:31):
She was running the ship, so we were definitely hands on.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
How long were you guys together?
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Oh, it's been a while. I've been ten years, so
she's been on me.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
All right, you don't put her time in okay, all right,
Well congratulations. I hope you guys have the most amazing
wedding ever.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
All right, thank you. I hope you'll have a blood day.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
All right, you too, Well that would shine a light
eight hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty in
case you couldn't get through. And Armand is here today
guest hosting. You know, he's been at this trial non
stop since it started, so why not get into some
breaking news on what's happening with this Diddy trial.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
It is like the last stretch, all right, its way up, they.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Say in the rooms, from industry shade to all of
gosp out.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Angela's speeling that.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
All right, now it's way up with Angela, yea. And
my guy Arma Wigginson's here doing what he does best.
You ready, Yes, we're getting into it all right. Well,
Diddy prosecutors are dropping these kidnapping arts and and certain
sex trafficking charges. People were surprised by this because this
is right before closing arguments happened today that they announced this.
They said, the government is following his Honors instructions to
(04:38):
streamline the jury instructions.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Can you break this down?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, I think at this point the prosecution is like, hey,
we need to have a broader scope here because we
don't have enough evidence to.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Convict him on all of these things.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So what I think they're doing now is they're trying
to make it easier for the jury to get a
guilty verdict.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Okay, so they're not going to pursue the attempt at
art and claims that he blew up Kit Cartie's car
and a jealous rage allegedly. They said prosecutors never directly
linked Ditty to that fire. They're also saying that they
haven't really proven that Diddy allegedly kidnapped former employee Capricorn
Clark and also Cassie when she was allegedly held at
the London Hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
So and that was actually in the Rule twenty nine
filing that they did yesterday that the defense said yesterday,
I thought they did a great job doing that because
it showed they said, hey, listen, you guys cannot prove
that these employees were aiding in a betting and willingly
committing these crimes. Cassie, was she actually kidnapped at the
London hotel?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
She she was not held with gun at gunpoint and
told that she couldn't leave. So is that really kidnapping?
Capricorn Clark, she had the option to actually leave when
she was getting that light detector test. Right when she
said that she was in there for five days getting
a light detector test, They said, did you actually did
she actually try to leave? And she never actually tried
(06:01):
to leave. She actually says she said and did the
light detector test because she wanted to prove her loyalty
to Diddy. So they're saying, well, girl, you couldn't have
been kidnapped, so let's.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Focus on the things that we can prove.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Is what they feel they're going to do now instead
of these other extra things. That's confusing that you make
you feel like this didn't happen, So now none of
it happened, right, Yeah, exactly. Okay, all right, now, did
he also told the judge that he's doing an excellent job.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, that happened too.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So in court yesterday they were asked they were trying
to find out if did he was going to testify,
So everybody was like, is he going to get on
the stand and did? He jumped up in like a
nervous kind of You could tell that he was like excited,
but it was kind of like he stressed out too.
It was like a twitch and it was really weird.
But then he got up and he just jumped and
(06:47):
was like, judge, you're just doing a great job.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
By the way, he's going to try to glaze him.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah, I think he's trying to get that a quitto,
but I don't know if it's going to go through.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Now, Another thing that happened, let's talk about this Fat
Joe civil case. The attorney for his accuser, Ta Tyrone Blackburn,
got arrested for allegedly mowing down a process server with
his car. This happened in New York City. He was
taking into custody this morning.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Wait, mowing down like running him over, running him over?
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Yes, they say.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Cops started saying It all started when he got into
his vehicle as he was getting served a complaint in
that Fat Joe case. Allegedly, he slammed his car into reverse,
backed up, and hit the process server and the leg,
causing a minor injury. That's when that got reported to
the police. So we'll keep you guys updated because that
just happened this morning.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
But that was your Yet. When we come back, we
have about last night.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I was telling you what I did last night, Yes,
and it was a funny story. But I'm going to
talk about this play that I actually went to for
a preview night that was really amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
It's way up night.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
So about last night, Yes, I went down.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It's way Up with Angela Yee and I am here
with our mom Wigans.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
What did you do last night?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
So I baked and I cooked and I fried in
the heat.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
You are crazy for that. If there was a day
to not cook at home.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
No, I didn't cook. My body was cooking.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I remember I was telling you, well, I was telling
you here in New York since i'm you know, kind
of a local now. But the problem is this, I
have this small unit and it's like they have the
a C and THEA in the wall, the window unit,
and it doesn't go all the way back, and it's
got like this energy save thing on it, so it
turns on and that's off.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It's just a mess.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
I was dying.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It was one hundred degrees. It was it was bad
last night.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
But you've been working. Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I did detalk, but you know, I went and I
got I went and got a drink and so I
can go to sleep. So I went to my local
bar around the corner.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I got a whiskey, sour.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Whiskey.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well, I last night went to go see this play
called Duke and Roya when I tell you it's amazing.
Some of the producers include not Toy and So also
John Legend, he was there, Kerry Washington. But anyway, Jay
Ellis is the star of this. He actually plays a
character Duke, and you know him from Insecure. He says, well,
he was kind of a good boyfriend after a little while,
(09:08):
but then he got something. Anyway, Yeah, so he's stirring
in this play where he plays a rapper that actually
travels to Afghanistan to perform for the troops, but he
falls in love with his interpreter, played by Stephanie Nor.
Her name is Roya, so that's why it's called Duke
and Roya. So I'm not gonna give away too much,
but it was really amazing. First of all, I love
(09:28):
going to the theater, but it was kind of the
night screening, the first screening for it, so just want
to encourage people if you have an opportunity to go
see it.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Got a chance to meet the director.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
He's a rapper on there, so he's actually doing some
performances and so I met the person who wrote all.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
The rhymes for him and everything. So it was good.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The only issue I had last night, I was telling
you all this was this woman sitting in front of
me who they gave us like pretols and stuff like that.
So I was like quietly trying to like put the
pretzel bag away, because you know, there's seeds to be
tight in the theater. She turns around and puts her
finger up and it's like stop it, to stop it.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I was like, so you were crackling the pretzel bag.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I had to wait to intermission to actually say something
to her, and I was like, don't you ever talk
to me in that entitled like disgusting. I'm not a
child out listen, but yeah, so but that was the
only thing. And then I was like, no, no, let's
take it down because we are celebrating this and we
never want to be someplace where something amazing's happening.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
And then we have a whole situation. But I had to.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I was kind of like waiting to intermission to be
able to say something because don't you turn around and
put your finger up in my face? She did apologize,
but did you accept her apology? Then she also said,
sorry I hurt your feelings. I said, my feelings are
not hurt, but yours will be.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
But that was it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But then the rest of the play was amazing. So
just you know, shout out to everybody involved in this play.
And we got a chance to hear the story about
how it all came about, all right, so and I'm
shout out to Charles Randolph right for writing, shout out
to the director all of that. It was just you know,

Okay, and let's move on and talk about Married to
Real Estate. Egypt Sharad and Mike Jackson. They have announced
that their HGTV show was canceled. They had four seasons
on there, and when she was up here, her and
Mike were up here, they talked about the fact that
it was looking a little shaky over there, so I
think they saw the writing on the wall.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Here's what they said on way up.
Speaker 12 (17:17):
This rumors terrestrial television as a whole is going through
some problems where they're losing viewership online and so the
average age of those who watch terrestrial television is a
lot higher now, It's like sixty and seventy year old.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Oh wow, that's so as a.
Speaker 12 (17:36):
Result, the folks that you're seeing on TV or the
shows that are staying are the ones they like.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I could see that though a lot of things are
on movement online.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Well, she posted, Mike, and I just landed back in
the States.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
After an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean and where
I met with unexpected news, HGTV has decided not to
move forward with married to real Estate. While the chain
of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are
deeply grateful for foreign doable.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Seasons, the crew, the supportive fans.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
But she also they do have their line of products
right that you can buy us on Wayfair also and
they have their they also have their podcast which is
really great. So you know, just I know they're going
to be a okay, and I know that they kind
of felt this was coming, so they were prepared and.

Wait, we lost one of your friends because what over.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
The weekend, we're all getting drunk and here's driving home
and I smoked a point and ask from his car.
And now he's not talking to me and he's not
inviting me to the events anymore because he says it's
a sensive disrespect.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Well he's not lying. I mean, did you apologize?
Speaker 13 (19:13):
Absolutely?
Speaker 9 (19:14):
The next morning, I was like, listen, I love you.
Speaker 13 (19:16):
I'll pay to get your car washed. I tried to
give him a gift card, but he says.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
I at twenty eight years old, I should know how
to respect myself and respect other people's things.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Listen, you also got to own that he does not
like that you do that.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Girl.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You probably have done things in the past that he's
already felt like was immature. And this is just the
icing on top of this.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
If somebody asked in my car, I would have a
fi I would be Was there damage.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Done to his car?
Speaker 13 (19:43):
No, it was just a little bit of ash, And
like I do go out and I work with a
lot of people, and I guess that's inerture to him too.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Does he like you?
Speaker 13 (19:52):
We have hooked up in the.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Past, but we both left that girl, so it's always
some tea with you. That's the problem.
Speaker 13 (19:59):
How you didn't tell.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So what it is is he feels disrespected. You came
out with him, he was flirting with other people, then
came in his.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Car and ash and ash, you gotta go.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
You don't know where your mouth been, and then.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
You probably have blunt breath.
Speaker 13 (20:14):
Yeah, I feel all the time.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
It feels like he likes you and you don't like him,
but you're using him for a ride and to hang out.
Speaker 13 (20:20):
Absolutely, No, no, no, we were.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
We're still very good friends.
Speaker 13 (20:23):
It's just we didn't feel that park when we kids.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Okay, so neither didn't feel it, or like, oh you
both didn't feel it.
Speaker 13 (20:30):
I think we both didn't care.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Well, he didn't feel it because it was stinking. She
had the blunt breaths.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
For a whole here.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
But we've been going out all together with me my
four other girlfriends.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
So wait, is you him and four girlfriends? Yeah? Using
them for a ride? No, we all together. We've sinned together,
and who is paying for the drinks and stuff?
Speaker 13 (20:58):
We take turns, like I paid for the bar. My
friend Sam pretty pleased. Like the first roe, I'm like,
we take turns, but.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
We and we all have a good time.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
So the laws wee friends.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
I wasn't invited and it hurts so bad and he
blocks me on Instagram?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
WHOA find another way to contact him? Take him out
to a nice restaurant.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Want no reed and not the one on one somewhere
he really likes to go, you know, tell him that
you apologize and you'll never do it again.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
What if I'm broke and I'm can't afford that, but
that was going to give him? Be smart in my car.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
If you ain't got no money and you've broken and
your ash.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
In my car and you got blunt breath, well listen,
you better scrape up whatever it is that you can
do if you really want to. Try to befriend him again.
But he don't have to be your friend if he
doesn't want to. But I think you should take your
mind's advice and have a little one on one time
with him. Figure out what the boundaries are in the relationship.
What is it that's really bothering him so much, and
is there anything that you can do to fix it?
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Thank God, thank you.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
I love your show.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Thank you, good luck, Dolly, good luck.

ask a question that way, and when we come back,
it is a Wealth Wednesday. So we do have a
doctor Rachel Lorea joining us, the author of Black Capitalists.
But she's gonna tell you all about how you can
differentiate between capitalism and black capitalism and what is possible?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
What is the blueprint? She's got it all for you.
Speaker 14 (22:16):
It's way up, had a dream of wealthy and I

Speaker 6 (22:24):
This is Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
What's up his way up with Angela Yee And Happy
Wealth Wednesday. Of course Stacy Tisdale is here.
Speaker 15 (22:32):
Happy Wealth Wednesdays.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Everybody.
Speaker 15 (22:34):
We are going to educate you today in black capitalism
because we have the one and only doctor Rachel Lorea,
whose book Black Capitalists just came out a couple of
weeks ago. She's currently in Asset Wealth Management. JP Morgan Chase.
She's the founder of Kellawella, which is a lifestyle brand.
You're also an anthropologist, she sh and your PhD is
(22:58):
in African American studies and socio culture anthropology. You've been
featured in The Times, Forbes, everything everywhere, and we're just
so excited to have you and really proud that you
wrote this book.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
It is fantastic.
Speaker 16 (23:10):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Well, we have questions, okay, but let's start with the basics.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
So what is the difference between black capitalism and regular capitalism?
Speaker 16 (23:20):
Yeah, so I'll start with capitalism.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
It's really an economic system focused on private actors pursuing
private ownership with the intention to yield excess capital. So
it's really about profitability and about ownership. Black capitalism, in contrast,
is really about how private actors collectives can really reposition
themselves within the economic system of today with the intention
(23:45):
to yield excess capital, but then most importantly, really create
social good as well, and so that becomes the core difference.
It's about how can you also create avenues for ownership
and thriving with that context of social good, which you
don't have a framework of capitalism right now.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
It's it Wealth.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Wednesday, I'm at Stacy Tisdale and we're talking to Rachel Larrea,
the author of Black Capitalists. You know what's interesting is
for you also being a business owner, you had a
brick and mortar location, and when you knew it was
time to close that down, you took a different type
of a pros that I've never heard of before.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Yeah, so can you break that down?
Speaker 11 (24:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Of course, so, especially in a capitalist framework, right, an
entrepreneur would say, all right, closing up shop, today's your
last day.
Speaker 16 (24:29):
That's it. You figure it out, And there was no
way that I could do that, you know.
Speaker 10 (24:34):
And I think for me having a kind of black
capitalist framework and orientation, it was how can I make
sure that all of my team members feel set up
for whatever their next thing is going to be. So
for me that meant really spending time with them leading
up to our clothes to say, hey, what are you
really interested in? What are the things that really get
you excited passionate? What are you looking to get into?
(24:56):
And then for me it was how can I tap
into my personal social network?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
What kind of.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
Research or different resources that I have access to that
I can give and kind of share to make sure
that they're set up for success and spending time with
each of them, you know. So by the end and
that closing day, they all had their next thing lined up.
They all felt really kind of secure in what they
were going to do next. And that was just part
of what I just had to do as their leader
(25:23):
in that context where I needed to feel responsible for
them and they also know that I value them as people.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Rachelrerea is here with us for Wealth Wednesday. I'm with
my girls, Stacy Tisdale. We got more when we come back,
and we're going to be talking about what is possible
for you as a black capitalist.
Speaker 14 (25:40):
I had a dream of wealthy and I don't mind
sharing my wealth dog get you straight financially, mentally, and physically.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
This is Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
What's up as Way Up with Angela Yee. It's a
Wealth Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I'm here with Stacy Tisdale and we have a special guest,
Rachel Lrea, author of Black Capitalists. You know, with everything
that's been going on right now, people can feel really
defeated just financially. So what do you say to that
to somebody who's listening right now? That's like, okay, great,
I would love to be a black capitalist. I would
love to be able to, you know, live this life
(26:14):
but also do social good and have that responsibility.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
But they don't know how.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
Yeah, part of the trap of capitalism is it nurtures individualism.
But that's where we have to kind of rupture our
thinking because it's really in community that we're able to
create economic security for ourselves and within a community context
as well.
Speaker 16 (26:35):
And there are practical ways in which you do that.
Sou sue themselves.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
Yes, you know those are kind of traditional old school
money pulling, money lending break down. Yeah, So susue is
when a group of people come together and they put
in money into a pot and at a regular cadence,
if it's a you're week, you'll get all of the
money that we've pulled together. The next week or the
(27:01):
next cadence, I would get those funds, and so those
are not just the funds that I put in, but
everybody in the pots who's contributed to it. I would
get those resources. And so then that becomes money and
resources that I can use to whatever kind of pursuit
or goals that I have.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Right now, it's a wealth Wednesday, I'm at Stacy Tisdale
and we are talking to Rachel Larrea, the author of
Black Capitalists. I want to ask you about also working
in wealth management and financial planning and things like that.
How important is it you think for people to actually
go to experts that can help them when it comes
to making sure that they're, you know, kind of maximizing
(27:38):
what it is that they have when it comes to finances.
Because we always talk about this, sometimes people feel like, well,
if I'm not rich, what do I need to even
worry about that?
Speaker 10 (27:46):
For big misconception. If you can save, if you can invest,
do it yesterday. And I will say doing your homework
is really important because there's a lot of misinformation out
there as well. But there can be very simple ways
kind of building blocks to starting investing, even with minimal
funds on a regular basis.
Speaker 16 (28:05):
But I would say I think.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
What's really important is investing consistently and even kind of
going through the volatilities that we might see that might
create anxiety and worry and fear, You've got to just
keep doing it. We're in a time where financial knowledge
is getting more and more democratized, and so it's not
just this kind of thing that feels exclusionary or for
(28:28):
elite people or something like that, and so tap in somehow.
Speaker 15 (28:31):
This is all in your book, Black Capitalist, and it
came out just a few weeks ago.
Speaker 16 (28:36):
And where can people get it anywhere? Books are so old?
Wherever you get your books?
Speaker 15 (28:40):
Everybody watched the full interview on YouTube and we'll have
a link to her.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Book so you can get it so that you can
get it.
Speaker 15 (28:47):
But it is you're just a delight and your book
is really groundbreaking, groundbreaking stuff. And we are so excited
that you stopped by to spend some time with us.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
Thank you, well, thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
We appreciate you so much.
Speaker 16 (28:58):
Oh, thank you. It's a gift.
Speaker 2 (29:00):

sure you listen to the foot and if you on
