book out right now called Rewrite Her Rules. But she
(02:01):
has such an amazing story. You know, she founded Blavity,
and she spawned that into several different companies. But her
entrepreneurial journey began when she was only thirteen years old.
She started investing in the stock market. She got her
bachelor's degree in political science and entrepreneurship, and then she
launched Blavity back in twenty fourteen. By twenty five years old,
she was one of the few black women found us
(02:22):
to secure one million dollars in funding, and she's continued
to raise capital. She's completed three acquisitions and integrations.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
She owns R and B, House, Party, Afrotech. All of those.

Companies he had Travel, Noir, Home, and Texture, Shadow and
Act collectively reaching over one hundred million consumers every month.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
All right, Well that was shine a light. Thank you
for that, Navy, and when we come back, we have
your yea tea. I want to break down this whole
Floyd Mayweather story that's been circulating. It was hard to
get stories together yesterday because it's April Fool's Day.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh you did so annoying.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You don't know what's true what's not.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
But this four hundred million dollar deal, some people are
saying it's not true.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
But we'll break it down for you.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
It's way up the rooms from the industry shade to
all of gosp out. Angela's speeling that et.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
All right, it's way up with Angela yea, And it's
time for your yea te And first and four almost
got to say our rest in peace to Val Kilmer. Now,
navy's been working so hard. He didn't even know that
Valcimer died.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He was only sixty five years old. And this is
first of all, I'm a huge fan of Valculmer in
the movies that he's been in, Like he'd obviously top gun.
He came back for a Maverick, which people were excited about,
and apparently he had throat cancer, which was something he
was candid about. He had some health issues. He had
a memoir out in twenty twenty where he revealed that Cher,
(04:28):
who's his ex, helped him throw a cancer diagnosis and
detailed the effects that it had on his body. He
also was didn't do a ton of interviews, but what
he did do was get a video camera and start
filming himself. He said at the time he was the
only person he knew who had a camera of his own,
an actor, and he put together a documentary that released
on Amazon Prime like four years ago, was called Val
(04:51):
and here's a snippet of that trailer.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
My name is Val Kilmer.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I'm an actor.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
I've lived a magical life, and I've captured quite a
bit of his ass thousands of hours of videotapes and
film reels that I've shot throughout my life and career.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Video whoa Dawn.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
I was recently diagnosed with throat cancer. I'm still recovering
and it is difficult to talk and to be understood,
but I want to tell my story more than ever.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And he said, you know, at the time, he talked
about when he spoke, he sounds like Marlon Brando. After
a couple of bottles of tequila, he said, it isn't
a frog in my throat, more like a buffalo. And
so speaking once my joy and lifeblood has become an
hourly struggle.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Now he did not die from throat cancer.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
He did, according to his daughter Mercedes, die from pneumonia actually,
so rest in peace. He is survived by his two
adult children, Mercedes and Jack, who we had with his
ex wife, actress Joanne Wallie.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Rest in peace, VACILM. He was also batman for my
fellow names.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Oh yeah, can't forget that ever.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
All right, now, Floyd Mayweather Junior, there's a story circulating
that Business Insider did talking about this four hundred million
dollar property deal.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
That he had been discussing here in New York City.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
But now, according to Business Insider, it's not what you
think it is. They said, there's no evidence there has
been a sale of these properties, and it's sixty two
rental apartment buildings in Upper Manhattan. Here's what Floyd Mayweather
had said at the time on a video that he
posted on his Instagram.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
A lot of reading with people into of my lifestyle,
showing people how I live.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Now.
Speaker 10 (06:24):
I know you guys see me on the regular talking
about real estate. Well, lately I purchased sixty two apartment
buildings in New York City.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
And what I need you guys to do?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Slide over, check out the photos.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It's not all sixty two buildings. It's a few buildings.
Speaker 10 (06:40):
But guess what.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
All the buildings belong to me.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I don't have no partners, and all the.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
Retail download all my buildings all belong to me.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Guess what you can do the same?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
All right, Well, now we're trying to figure out what
happened right with Business Insider. So, according to another update,
did Ink a four hundred and two million dollar deal
for a black spruce portfolio When he said that it
was all his and no one invested, he met no
one was funding his part of the investment but him,
And so I think this is something where maybe he
(07:13):
owns a piece of this or shares in it, but
it hasn't changed hands because the majority owner is still
the same owner that it was before. I'm trying to
understand what happened with this, But I know there's a
story that's circulating, so just putting it out there.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Who it's a tough one.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I'm trying to understand as a real estate person myself,
what exactly he is communicating when he's saying that he
owns this, because it's trying to make it seem like
he doesn't. But what it seems like is that he
owns shares of these buildings and it's a larger it's
part of an investment that he did on his own.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
That makes sense. I let you do the real estate.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Stuff, all right, Well that is your yet And when
we come back about last night where we discussed what
we did last night, I had a day yesterday as usual,
it's way up.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
So about last night, yes, he said, went down.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It's way up with Angela and it's time for about
last night. Now, yesterday I told you I was guest
hosting with my friend Marie so Castro. We actually went
to college together, so she's a good friend of mine.
She's the host for New York Living here. But it
was tough because there were a lot of guests coming through.
Polygee's Pizzeria came. They brought all this food. They actually
had this penny with not bacca sauce, but Jack Daniels sauce,
(08:25):
here's the thing. I started my detox on Monday. Do
you know how hard this is? Yes, Like, I don't
know if you guys understand. So I have this thing.
I do the detox now. So there's a few of
us doing it right now, and everything is this, Everything
is food related going on around me. So it's not easy.
You see, I have my waddy here. You bought a
(08:47):
donut in for me today. Now you bought a chocolate
donut for me, which normally I would, you know, tear
it down. Today I was like, I'm sorry, I can't.
And so it's not easy. I am doing a little
bit of fruitka just because I have a lot going on.
So it's not like the last time I did I
did a two week fast. I took it easy. I
didn't have any bookings. Really, I didn't have that much
(09:09):
to do. But this time it's harder. Dan is getting married,
our producer, and so I did say I am gonna
have to eat that day because I know he will
be so disappointed if he paid all that money for
us to come to his wedding, right, and I can't
eat anything. So I'm going to add a couple of
days on, Oh, eat, I'll take some of your plate. Nick,
we know maybe we know you will, but yeah, so
that's where I'm at right now with it. My parents
(09:31):
came over my house yesterday. I ordered them food. Because
I'm not cooking anything, I ordered them food.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It was so hard.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I had to like unpack the food and give them

I'm here with comedian extraordinaire aqum Wa, and let's talk
about some TV things because you're the one person that
always hits me up, like did you finish watching this?
Did you finish this? So you got excited about Black
Mirror Season seven?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
It looks so good.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
There's a trailer, a new trailer that's out, and Isa
Ray is all on this it is and yes, Rashida Jones,
Tracy Ellis Ross is still on there. I see Aquafina
is going to be on there as well. Yeah, yeah,
So it looks like it's going to be a good
one when this new season drops, are you.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Excited for it?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I'm very excited about it, just because I feel like
we're living in a Black Mirror right now with the
whole Trump presidency.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So April tenth, get ready for that return and White
Lotus this season right now, season three is not even finished,
but we're talking about season four already. Know you you
definitely are, like are you up to date on White Lotus?
Speaker 4 (13:30):
The Grease?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Well, yes, they're going to Greece to Mikonos, and it's
going to be a vegan resort.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Now why would they do such a thing.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know, but I'm just saying, cast me as
a rich, gay, black vegan.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Okay, so you'll be vegan that whole because I know
it took them seven months to.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Film and months to be on, yeah, to be on
White Loaders.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
All right, Well, the creator, Mike White said he's been
vegan for years, so he's been quietly manifesting a season
that reflects some of those values.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
So that's why he did that. Okay, so he.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Said, he said, setting the show at a vegan result
and Greece felt both personally meaningful and thematically rich.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But we're waiting to see let me get an audition.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
What's going to happen is that the next episode is
the last episode of I seen.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
So don't quote me on this, but I think so
because this is the eighth episode.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I think it's the last, and I see all of
these theories about who's going to die, about who's going
to die?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Who do you think?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I hope the Pops dies? Ooh, but he's doing too
much to me.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I don't you know what I feel like that would
be too easy of applying to.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I thinks it would be someone we don't expect to die.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, I could see that all right.
Speaker 10 (14:35):
Now.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Another thing that just happened Trevor Jackson. He has been
casted on Grades Anatomy.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I love Trevor Jackson. I met him when he was
really young. I did his media training when he signed
show that shows a lot twenty one Jesus and so
they said he'll appear in the season twenty one finale
and have the aption to become a series regular if
the show is renewed for a twenty second sea in
which they expect, yes, that it will be. So shout
(15:02):
out to Trevor Jackson for that.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That's a new jail.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Good for him, and he's just a really nice person.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I've never seen an episode, but I'm glad it's Barthen
all right.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And there is a new did He accuser? Oh lord,
I know now this one is wild.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
This alleged victim says that did He sexually assaulted and
humiliated him at one of his freak offs from April
twenty fifteen, and that jay Z, Beyonce Lebron and Gloria
Estefan were all seeing him throughout the night.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That doesn't mean they had That doesn't mean they had
to do with his humiliation. They could have just been
at the party.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
So allegedly, this person is saying this took place during
a birthday party for Christian Comb, did he s and
that they allegedly shamed him by strapping a penis to
his face and parading him around.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Then he said he.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Was drugged and transported to Star Island for the party
and was dragged to the back entrance of a mill
and Gloria Estefan's mansion and that she saw him in
a drug and duce stupor and demanded an ambulance and
Amelio silenced her and they returned to the party.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
And then yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
Who is this guy?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
His name by the way, he's a man from Florida.
His name is Joseph Manzaro.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Joeys, Florida. And why was he at the party? Not
the victim shame?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I'm just curious, why would like is he in the industry,
Like why did he get invited.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Or I don't know, but these are just all allegations
right now. So Diddy's team said in a statement to TMC.
This complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiff will travel to
garner headlines in pursuit of a payday. No sane person
reading this complaint could credit this story. There's a lot
more to it that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Doesn't seem real. I mean, now, I'm not defending Diddy.
Diddy is guilty, but I don't think Diddy is guilty
of that.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Yeah, there's a lot more.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I mean, there's a locking sex device involved in this story.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I think he's just he's just writing a kinky little
erodica story.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
He's about to pubblish him with a little fifty.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You couldn't here. I'm gonna let you read this, all right.
Well that is your yucie. When we come back under
the radar, these are the stories that are not necessarily
and the headlines. They're flying under the radar, and we
have a breaking news one of those for you.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's way up to you.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
These stories are flying under the radar, all right?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
His way up with Angela Yee, I'm here with akem Woods.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
What's that boot?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
What UPO?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And time for these under the radar stories? And this
story just broke. A judge has dismissed Eric adams case,
this corruption case against Eric Adams, and said that also
charges cannot be brought again. You know, the Justice Department,
Donald Trump's Justice Department wanted to be able to have
(17:39):
the option to after his mayoral campaign is over, after
he's you know, no longer mayor and he is running again,
they could bring it back. And the reason why the
judge said that you no known that you cannot bring
these charges. It's been dismissed without prejudice, was because it
would mean that people thought that he would be doing
(18:00):
what Donald Trump wanted him to do, so that they
wouldn't be able to bring those so that Donald Trump
wouldn't bring charges against him later. So, in other words,
he can't bring the charges back because if the judge
would have let them do that, then Eric Adams would
have been beholden to do whatever Donald Trump wanted him
to do so that he would be in the clear.
But now that they know that these charges can't be
used as leverage, that's why they.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Did that, all right, understood?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
And speaking of Donald Trump, they're talking about these tariffs,
and one thing that Trump is apparently considering is a
twenty percent universal tax on all US imports. So that
would mean a lot of money that we would have
to spend. They're saying, on average, that could cost Americans
about thirty eight hundred dollars a year for the typical
(18:46):
middle class household and indisposable income due to higher prices,
and the top ten percent of earners would see that
inflation adjusted income drop by ninety five hundred dollars per year.
The bottom ten percent would lose about twenty four hundred dollars.
But most people don't have that disposable income to just
be saying, all right, here's an extra about four thousand
dollars a year from me. So Donald Trump is expected
(19:08):
to unveil these sweeping tariffs and announce his quote Liberation
Day plan at four pm.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Good, good job, poor poor white people who voted for him.
Good for y'all.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I thought we were supposed to have less inflation. I
thought the plan was right, didn't they didn't Donald Trump
run on that.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Yeah, his whole plan was so much for eggs.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, eggs are gonna be cheaper, and we gonna get
gas prices down, and we're gonna end all this and yeah,
and then you know.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Right, so and there's been so much back and forth
with what's going on with these tariffs. US stocks did
open lower Wednesday, and you know, markets are like, we
don't know what's going on. There's a lot of uncertainty
right now. All right, Well that is you're under the radar.
We do have the Way Up Mix at the top
of the hour, and you know we got to do it.
I mean, today is a Wealth Wednesday, so we are
(19:57):
going to talk all things finances.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Which we need now.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We need this now more than ever because how could
we not, right, So let's do all of those things.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Happy Wealth Wednesday. It's way up.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Well, she's like to talk like they Angela Jean like
they Angela Jean.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Man, She's spilling it all.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
This is yeaky way up.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It's way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I'm here with comedian extraordinary rakeem Woods and let's get
into some yet. Let's talk about Kiki Palmer first.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I love her so much.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Now this clip I saw posted on a Jasmine brand
where she's talking about how she likes to break up
with people, Well, she likes to make people break up
with her. Here's what she said, tell me how you
are with relationships.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I try to get the other person to break up
with me because it's hard for me to say goodbye.
I'm like scared and so like I find myself being
like we're done, and there be like we'll get into
a conflict and we're somehow back together again.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Hey, you do that girl because.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
They don't want to leave me and I want you
to go.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
There you go. But honestly, she's just being honest because.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I just so crazy today break up with you. I
know people have probably giving her the business. But let's
not act like other people don't do that too. They're
just not as honest about it.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Guys do that too. Guys on her guys do not
like to break up. They like to make you.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Because they don't want to. They don't want to hurt
someone's feeling.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Right, then it's like you made the decision even though
I made it for you.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, Well, they're also there's a split thing about her
going on. It's it's actually trending because she is about
to have Jonathan Mage's on her part on that podcast
Baby This is Kekey Palmer, and the description says accountability.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
It's a loaded word, right, we're.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Living in a time where we want real accountability, especially
for things men have gotten away with for far too long.
At the same time, finding forgiveness feels harder than ever,
and we're still figuring out what true accountability even looks like. Today,
we're sitting down with Jonathan Majors to talk about what
life has looked like after being convicted of harassment and assault.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I don't see anything wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So people were like, oh, this is Keiky's doing this,
isn't she a victim herself, and blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
But it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And I think that's the best conversation that has somebody
who's gone through something exactly with somebody who chially has
these accusations and had this case.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I think it's important to give him a chance to
tell his story, right, and I.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Think maybe and maybe be Hell's accountable exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I think he's fair to tell a story.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
All right, So we shall see. It comes out April eighth.
I'm excited to see it, and I think if you
have wonder, you get like a you can hear it earlier.
All right, Now, young Scooter, this has been a wild story.
People are trying to figure out what happened. And the
woman who made the nine to one call on March
twenty eighth, where she claimed that there was a naked
woman being beaten within the edge of her life, has
now been arrested. So here is what that call sounded like.
Speaker 12 (22:37):
There was literally a shooting the house at a I'm
just I'm the neighborhood watch. There's a situation going on
this house. There are seven guys that live here and
they're basically I'm not sure if they're running some top
of sex traffic. This individual, she's a five to two
life skinned female, black hair. She ran outside naked, lead
(22:57):
it from her face. She tried to go, she tried
to get away, she was dragged back into the house
and they're holding her hostage and then there was a
baby of all. This situation is really serious and he's
parting her. If you guys don't get her, she's going
to be really hurt.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Well, this is a false nine to one that led
to young Scooter actually dying. That was the series of
events that snowballed into that. So she was booked into
Fulton County Jail yesterday and she's tried with transmitting a
false public alarm, and they did atleast that mug shot
as well of her and the Jets had are bond
at seventy five hundred dollars. She has to stay away
(23:34):
from the scene where the incident happened.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I don't even have time to play this.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
But she also went live and claimed that you know,
she was the person that was being abused.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, no, it sounds like she's lying, because it's like,
it just sounds if she was the person to being used.
Why didn't you call and say that at the beginning, Like,
why why would you even lie?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
We have time right here. It is.
Speaker 10 (23:56):
There's a reaction for every every action. This is part eight.
You guys didn't have Part A. You guys only have
Part B and the narrative. It looks like I was
trying to set this bed up because you guys don't
have part B of giving you Part B of giving
you what led up to the call. I was physically abused,
so I called to protect myself.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
That's the that's the issue.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
I never had any intentions to get anybody hurt, and
I came here to save our truth.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
That's it, that's all. I don't want no cloud at
the end.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
Of the day, I'm a world it and I was
physically abused multiple times.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
All right, well the truth will come out, and that
is you're ye t when we come back. We have
asked yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty
meters and I came right here to help. That's eight
hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty its way.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
All right, everybody exist, whether it's relationship with Korean advice,
Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
What's up? His way up at Angela?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yee, I'm here and my guy I Kem was this here?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
What's up boo?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
What's up boo?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
And we have Keandra on the line for asking you, Hey, Keandra, how.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
You doing good?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (25:06):
How can we help you?
Speaker 11 (25:07):
I'm good? I was calling me to add how do
you guys deal with narcissistic men? It's like I keep
running into a lot of narcissistic me.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Now, tell me your definition of like what makes them narcissistic?
Speaker 9 (25:19):
Just so I know, like a person who you know,
they can know they're doing something wrong, but even when
you're trying to like address it, they like make it
to be you as the problem more like the problem.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Starter Okay, so they don't take accountability for what they do.
They do things, and then they put it on you
like you made them do this, right, Well, what's keeping you?
So it's not a relationship, it's just that everybody you
run into as your dating happen to be narcissistic.
Speaker 12 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
They painting as if I'm the issue, and it got
to a point where I really started to believe it.
And granted, everybody has flaws, but I don't think like
within the lines of me and another person that is
just solely my fault.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Are you meeting these men at the same place? Like,
are you meeting these men similar places? You think maybe
you should change the places that you're meeting these men.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
Absolutely, that's probably the problem.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, well you need to expand your circle and try
something different because everything that you've been doing isn't working.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, you see, it's like whatever you're doing is getting
you the same type of w Where are you meeting them?
Speaker 11 (26:20):
It could be like at work or outside of work.
I might be out with friends, you know, I could
be out handling errands or running errands.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I mean, but it.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Seems like me being in the general vicinity of everything
is the same thing like probably my age group.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Too, but whatever, maybe you need to get out your
comfort zone and maybe you need to try online dating.
Speaker 11 (26:41):
I'm oh, my gosh, I'm so opposed to it.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Why.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
I don't know. I just don't feel like it's for me.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Listen, try it and if it's not for you, then
it's not for you. Or try one of those little those.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Mix those mingles, singles, mingles, things that they have.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well, the only reason I say that is because a
lot of people and I get it right, because online
dating it could feel like, oh.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
This is you know, scarier. Sometimes people feel like a
loser for it.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
But the truth is, if what you're doing isn't working,
this is a better way for you to get an
idea of what people are like according to their profile
and things like that, and you can have conversations before
you actually go out to kind of date with intention
of what it is that you're looking for. And when
you have these conversations, if somebody is not online you know,
aligned with what you want, then.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
You don't have to go out with them.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, you could take your time, you could talk to people,
you could see how interested they are in you. I
think sometimes it's better to have conversations than to actually
jump into dating, so that I have a chance to
even know if I want to date you based off
of those conversations.
Speaker 11 (27:42):
I can understand that. Yeah, I mean, maybe it's meed too,
like I said, not doing everything I need to do,
because like you said, maybe it's I need explore online dating.
I could ask the questions that needs to be answered before.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, just branch out a little bit, get out of
your comfort zone.
Speaker 11 (27:57):
Yeah, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
All right, we wish you the most luck. Okay, dating
and easy, it's not, thank you, but it can't be fun,
all right, take care? All right, Well that was ask
ye eight hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Call us up any question. We're here to help you
out and what broke.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
But we have Ashley Fox joining us, former Wall Street
analysts and CEO of Emplifizer. She helps people learn how
to build wealth with their minds and with their bank
accounts because it's all related. Happy Wealth Wednesday is way
up kind of dream of.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Wealthy and I don't mind sharing my wealth dog.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is wealth
Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
What's up this way up with Angela Yee. I'm here
with my girls Stacy Tisdale for Wealth Wednesday.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
Happy Wealth Wednesdays, everybody.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
We are so excited today to.
Speaker 14 (28:49):
Have the one, the only Ashley Fox on the show
to fill your heads with financial wisdom. We are so
proud of what Ashley has done with her own life
in her own career. She's a former Wall Street analyst
and we were just talking about Wall Street and she
founded Empithy, which is an incredible financial education platform in
(29:09):
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
And power and Modify yes, Empify Yes.
Speaker 14 (29:13):
And she's an HBCU grad. And right off the bat,
what the heck terms of where are we right now?
What are like the top two pieces of financial advice
you're giving the people in this crazy environment?
Speaker 15 (29:27):
So I would say the first thing is breathed because
this is actually the best time to learn. And I
always tell people when it's like when we go shopping
on Black Friday and everything's on sale, we have no
problem with all prices dropping and we go shopping, but
what about the stock market. Some of the biggest and
best companies prices are dropping, which means we're getting it
on sale, And.
Speaker 13 (29:45):
Think about it. Though.
Speaker 15 (29:45):
People get so scared of the stock market when it's up,
and it we're scared of it when it's down. So
when do we actually start to invest? And so one
I would say, breeze. The other thing I would say
is getting the game. This is the time to really
build wealth, like I think about So when I was
at Howard in two thousand, I watched the stock market
crash from my dorm room TV, and I didn't really
know too much about what was going on because I'm
trying to get.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
On Wall Street.
Speaker 15 (30:06):
But when I was on Wall Street, I worked on
individuals that had at least twenty five million dollars, and
I watched how they made money as a result of
the two thousand and eight crash, and I said, I
am not missing out on this opportunity. So when the
pandemic happened and the stock market crash, I went crazy,
Like I went shopping in the market, and I was
buying some of the biggest and best companies, and I
made a ton of money because while the market.
Speaker 13 (30:26):
Was scared, eventually we survived the pandemic.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
So just as much as we've survived every stock market crash,
why wouldn't we survive this stock.
Speaker 13 (30:33):
Market crash or whatever's going on. I don't know how we.
Speaker 15 (30:35):
Want to classify it, but it's is volati when I
think about just.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
People like we are one hundred percent undefeated at life.
This can't stop us. This won't stop us. Let's use
this as an opportunity to win, to grow, to learn,
and to.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Build well and your stereo.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I also said there was a period of time when
you really went on a shopping Oh.
Speaker 13 (30:52):
Yeah, I lost everything, girl.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, I want to hear about that because you're just like.
What I love about you is that you know, we
follow you on social media. You're always giving advice, but
you're also just like us, and it's easier for me
to look at somebody who's been through some things that
I've been through and came through on the other side successfully.
And now you've learned some things. So talk to us
(31:13):
about that period of time you were doing well financially.
Speaker 15 (31:16):
It was so I was on Wall Street, and every
day when I'm on Wall Street, I'm in the bank
accounts of the millionaire as a millionaire, so I'm seeing
where they shop, where they live, travel, what they invested in.
And I felt like I was on the wrong end
of the table. And when I'm gonna go back home
to Philly, where I'm from, I'm making six figures, but
like I don't have at least twenty five million. And
I just felt like, for something we're using every day
of our life, why is it I talking about school systems?
Why did I have to go to Howard work on
(31:37):
Wall Street to really understand how to buy a stock?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
You know?
Speaker 15 (31:40):
And so I always wanted to be a teacher, though
I actually nobody knows that. But I felt like I
had to chase the money. I was chasing the money,
I was chasing the reputation everything, And so I decided
to leave because I wanted to build something that targeted
the ninety nine percent that Wall.
Speaker 13 (31:53):
Street often overlooks.
Speaker 15 (31:54):
Now this was back in twenty thirteen, so entrepreneurship was
not sexy. Instagram just started to kind of get like
start to people started to post pictures and things like that.
But I felt like something inside of me was like,
you are that girl. You are able to translate this
Wall Street knowledge bring it to these everyday people. But
you understand Wall Street and you understand how they feel.
Because I didn't grow up with rich parents, like we
(32:15):
grew up middle class. My family bought stocks because I
open their investment accounts.
Speaker 13 (32:19):
I funded their accounts. So when I left.
Speaker 15 (32:21):
Wall Street, I had thirty thousand dollars when I could.
So I'm rich and I'm never wearing stockings again. And
I'm just like, you know, I'm gonna figure this thing.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Out, right.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
But I had this idea, and I made up this
word right called emplify, because I really wanted to shift
our mindset, because building wealth is not just about hey,
let me teach you what a stock is, because you
have the information on the internet. When you when you
lack empowerment, you speak into people and not at people,
you can start to change the way they sing. And
so when we think about emplify, it's the word empower.
We're going to empower you to say, hey, if you
(32:49):
want to start with five dollars, we're gonna build wealth
with five dollar. We're gonna five dollars our way.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
Till we get to a million.
Speaker 15 (32:54):
But when you start to empower people and you give
them education, it changes them.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yes, guys, it is our wealth. Wednesday, Ashley five is here.
I'm here with my wealth Wednesday. Partner Stacy Tisdale. We
have more with the CEO of Amplify, who by the way,
is also a Howard University graduate and an AKA.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
When we come back, it's way up.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Got a dream of wealthy and I don't mind sharing
my wealth.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
Dog Get you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is
Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
His way up at Angela Yee and Happy Wealth Wednesday.
I'm here with Stacy Tisdale and our special guest is
Ashlee Fox, a former Wall Street analyst and CEO of Amplify.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Stacy, you have a question.
Speaker 14 (33:31):
I know, going from Wall Street to media and then
an entrepreneurship entrepreneurs you're there's going to be financial ups
and downs.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It's just a nature of entrepreneurship.
Speaker 14 (33:41):
Teaching financial wellness, teaching about money. When as an entrepreneur
you're experiencing the ups and downs. Did you ever struggle
with those contradictions?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Sometimes?
Speaker 13 (33:50):
I did, because I remember I was getting kicked out.
Speaker 15 (33:53):
People thought I was a millionaire and I'm just I
would read articles people will write and I'm just like you.
I'm living at my parents' house for two years on
their couch and But here's the thing though, and I
say this to everybody, regardless of the balance in your
bank account, it is not a direct correlation to who
you believe you'll become.
Speaker 13 (34:09):
So I would walk and talk like I.
Speaker 15 (34:12):
Ran a billion dollar bus, Like right now on social media,
I call myself the billion dollar CEO because the ash
that got to her first million is not the Ashley
that's going to create a billion dollar business. So I
have to train in my dress like a billion dollar ceo.
Am I running my team like a billion dollar ceo?
And so and again it's not even by money, it's
about your just your mental your mindset, Like you have
to be so resilient, so focused and not let the doubts,
(34:33):
the fears, the worry because they exist, but it cannot
be the loudest voice in your head. So I believed
Ashley was going to change the world a lot more
than I believed Ashley couldn't figure it out. And I
think to those little wins you get as an entrepreneur,
like the Ink Top female founders, like it came at
the moment where I feel like what am I doing
in my business?
Speaker 13 (34:51):
And it's just like, oh my gosh, thank you guys
and it.
Speaker 15 (34:53):
Just gives you Yeah, and so I still feel it
to this day.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So I want to ask you something about what Mark
Cuban said because this went viral. I know you have
to see this stacy where he said at south By
Southwest he was on a panel with Tabatha Brown and
he talked about black women founders right, and he said,
I would tell you not to look for funding. You
have to figure out a way to use sweat equity
to build it on your own, even if it means
(35:17):
starting smaller and slower, because there is a learning process
and it's twofold. One is learning about your business and
making it loanworthy. Then two is learning the language of
those making loans. So you know, we already as black
women have a huge funding gap. Black women business owners
who apply for funding face at three time higher rejection
rate than that of white business owners, and only two
percent of venture capital funding in the US goes to
(35:39):
female only founding teams. What do you think about what
markubits Because I saw people arguing in the comments about.
Speaker 15 (35:44):
It, so interestingly enough, when I started amplify the venture
capital thing, it existed because I saw our clients doing it.
Speaker 13 (35:52):
But it wasn't like a thing right. I did not
know about venture capital.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I didn't I.
Speaker 15 (35:57):
Couldn't get a loan when I was trying to get
not get evicted from my apartment, So I figured I
wasn't qualified for debt. I already had student loans, and
for me, Empifi was just so much bigger and I
was gonna figure it out. So I bootstrap Empithy to
this day because I didn't know money was accessible. Regardless
of what the stats say to me. You can tell
me what the stat says when it comes to me.
IM coming coming to emplify when it comes to me
(36:17):
building wealth. Wealth doesn't have a color. Therefore it looks
just like me. I don't care if you identify me
as a black woman. I am actually Marie Fox is
beautiful being in this world. I'm gonna figure this out.
So knowing that I don't let stats like that or
comments like that deter me from You're gonna wanna buy
my my bo my company.
Speaker 13 (36:32):
I'm going to build a scalable business.
Speaker 15 (36:34):
And but I think the advantage that I had is
when I left Wall Street, I would well while I
was there too, I would see how our clients invested
in startups. I would sit in Harvard Angel investor meetings
seeing these cool companies, but the questions they're asking them,
I'm just like, Oh, I never thought of it like that.
So now as an investor, I'm not investing in your
product or service, I'm investing your ability to hire and
(36:55):
fire people. And it just made me think about what
is a scalable business that can be sold and someone
could could win as a result of your business. And
so I've always had that advantage. I've also been coached
by people of all nationalities too. From the people that
are from the coaches, I have therapists that I have
the spiritual advisor I because Wall Street was not an
(37:16):
all black thing, right it was, and I don't.
Speaker 13 (37:18):
See color that way.
Speaker 15 (37:19):
For me, It's like, if I have if I need
an answer, whoever is the smartest person in the room,
I'm getting the answer from you despite what you look like,
because I am worth that investment.
Speaker 3 (37:27):

book out right now called Rewrite Her Rules. But she
(02:01):
has such an amazing story. You know, she founded Blavity,
and she spawned that into several different companies. But her
entrepreneurial journey began when she was only thirteen years old.
She started investing in the stock market. She got her
bachelor's degree in political science and entrepreneurship, and then she
launched Blavity back in twenty fourteen. By twenty five years old,
she was one of the few black women found us
(02:22):
to secure one million dollars in funding, and she's continued
to raise capital. She's completed three acquisitions and integrations.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
She owns R and B, House, Party, Afrotech. All of those.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Companies he had Travel, Noir, Home, and Texture, Shadow and
Act collectively reaching over one hundred million consumers every month.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
So we got to give it up for Morgan.

rewrite her own rules. All right, Navy, our board up.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
All right, Well that was shine a light. Thank you
for that, Navy, and when we come back, we have
your yea tea. I want to break down this whole
Floyd Mayweather story that's been circulating. It was hard to
get stories together yesterday because it's April Fool's Day.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh you did so annoying.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You don't know what's true what's not.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
But this four hundred million dollar deal, some people are
saying it's not true.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
But we'll break it down for you.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
It's way up the rooms from the industry shade to
all of gosp out. Angela's speeling that et.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
All right, it's way up with Angela yea, And it's
time for your yea te And first and four almost
got to say our rest in peace to Val Kilmer. Now,
navy's been working so hard. He didn't even know that
Valcimer died.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
He was only sixty five years old. And this is
first of all, I'm a huge fan of Valculmer in
the movies that he's been in, Like he'd obviously top gun.
He came back for a Maverick, which people were excited about,
and apparently he had throat cancer, which was something he
was candid about. He had some health issues. He had
a memoir out in twenty twenty where he revealed that Cher,
(04:28):
who's his ex, helped him throw a cancer diagnosis and
detailed the effects that it had on his body. He
also was didn't do a ton of interviews, but what
he did do was get a video camera and start
filming himself. He said at the time he was the
only person he knew who had a camera of his own,
an actor, and he put together a documentary that released
on Amazon Prime like four years ago, was called Val
(04:51):
and here's a snippet of that trailer.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
My name is Val Kilmer.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I'm an actor.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
I've lived a magical life, and I've captured quite a
bit of his ass thousands of hours of videotapes and
film reels that I've shot throughout my life and career.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Video whoa Dawn.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
I was recently diagnosed with throat cancer. I'm still recovering
and it is difficult to talk and to be understood,
but I want to tell my story more than ever.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And he said, you know, at the time, he talked
about when he spoke, he sounds like Marlon Brando. After
a couple of bottles of tequila, he said, it isn't
a frog in my throat, more like a buffalo. And
so speaking once my joy and lifeblood has become an
hourly struggle.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Now he did not die from throat cancer.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
He did, according to his daughter Mercedes, die from pneumonia actually,
so rest in peace. He is survived by his two
adult children, Mercedes and Jack, who we had with his
ex wife, actress Joanne Wallie.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Rest in peace, VACILM. He was also batman for my
fellow names.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Oh yeah, can't forget that ever.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
All right, now, Floyd Mayweather Junior, there's a story circulating
that Business Insider did talking about this four hundred million
dollar property deal.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
That he had been discussing here in New York City.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
But now, according to Business Insider, it's not what you
think it is. They said, there's no evidence there has
been a sale of these properties, and it's sixty two
rental apartment buildings in Upper Manhattan. Here's what Floyd Mayweather
had said at the time on a video that he
posted on his Instagram.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
A lot of reading with people into of my lifestyle,
showing people how I live.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Now.
Speaker 10 (06:24):
I know you guys see me on the regular talking
about real estate. Well, lately I purchased sixty two apartment
buildings in New York City.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
And what I need you guys to do?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Slide over, check out the photos.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It's not all sixty two buildings. It's a few buildings.
Speaker 10 (06:40):
But guess what.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
All the buildings belong to me.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I don't have no partners, and all the.
Speaker 10 (06:45):
Retail download all my buildings all belong to me.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Guess what you can do the same?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
All right, Well, now we're trying to figure out what
happened right with Business Insider. So, according to another update,
did Ink a four hundred and two million dollar deal
for a black spruce portfolio When he said that it
was all his and no one invested, he met no
one was funding his part of the investment but him,
And so I think this is something where maybe he
(07:13):
owns a piece of this or shares in it, but
it hasn't changed hands because the majority owner is still
the same owner that it was before. I'm trying to
understand what happened with this, But I know there's a
story that's circulating, so just putting it out there.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Who it's a tough one.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I'm trying to understand as a real estate person myself,
what exactly he is communicating when he's saying that he
owns this, because it's trying to make it seem like
he doesn't. But what it seems like is that he
owns shares of these buildings and it's a larger it's
part of an investment that he did on his own.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
That makes sense. I let you do the real estate.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Stuff, all right, Well that is your yet And when
we come back about last night where we discussed what
we did last night, I had a day yesterday as usual,
it's way up.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
So about last night, yes, he said, went down.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It's way up with Angela and it's time for about
last night. Now, yesterday I told you I was guest
hosting with my friend Marie so Castro. We actually went
to college together, so she's a good friend of mine.
She's the host for New York Living here. But it
was tough because there were a lot of guests coming through.
Polygee's Pizzeria came. They brought all this food. They actually
had this penny with not bacca sauce, but Jack Daniels sauce,
(08:25):
here's the thing. I started my detox on Monday. Do
you know how hard this is? Yes, Like, I don't
know if you guys understand. So I have this thing.
I do the detox now. So there's a few of
us doing it right now, and everything is this, Everything
is food related going on around me. So it's not easy.
You see, I have my waddy here. You bought a
(08:47):
donut in for me today. Now you bought a chocolate
donut for me, which normally I would, you know, tear
it down. Today I was like, I'm sorry, I can't.
And so it's not easy. I am doing a little
bit of fruitka just because I have a lot going on.
So it's not like the last time I did I
did a two week fast. I took it easy. I
didn't have any bookings. Really, I didn't have that much
(09:09):
to do. But this time it's harder. Dan is getting married,
our producer, and so I did say I am gonna
have to eat that day because I know he will
be so disappointed if he paid all that money for
us to come to his wedding, right, and I can't
eat anything. So I'm going to add a couple of
days on, Oh, eat, I'll take some of your plate. Nick,
we know maybe we know you will, but yeah, so
that's where I'm at right now with it. My parents
(09:31):
came over my house yesterday. I ordered them food. Because
I'm not cooking anything, I ordered them food.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
It was so hard.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I had to like unpack the food and give them
the eggplant, parmesan, you know all of that. It was tough,

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I'm here with comedian extraordinaire aqum Wa, and let's talk
about some TV things because you're the one person that
always hits me up, like did you finish watching this?
Did you finish this? So you got excited about Black
Mirror Season seven?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
It looks so good.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
There's a trailer, a new trailer that's out, and Isa
Ray is all on this it is and yes, Rashida Jones,
Tracy Ellis Ross is still on there. I see Aquafina
is going to be on there as well. Yeah, yeah,
So it looks like it's going to be a good
one when this new season drops, are you.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Excited for it?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I'm very excited about it, just because I feel like
we're living in a Black Mirror right now with the
whole Trump presidency.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So April tenth, get ready for that return and White
Lotus this season right now, season three is not even finished,
but we're talking about season four already. Know you you
definitely are, like are you up to date on White Lotus?
Speaker 4 (13:30):
The Grease?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Well, yes, they're going to Greece to Mikonos, and it's
going to be a vegan resort.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Now why would they do such a thing.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know, but I'm just saying, cast me as
a rich, gay, black vegan.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Okay, so you'll be vegan that whole because I know
it took them seven months to.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Film and months to be on, yeah, to be on
White Loaders.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
All right, Well, the creator, Mike White said he's been
vegan for years, so he's been quietly manifesting a season
that reflects some of those values.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
So that's why he did that. Okay, so he.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Said, he said, setting the show at a vegan result
and Greece felt both personally meaningful and thematically rich.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But we're waiting to see let me get an audition.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
What's going to happen is that the next episode is
the last episode of I seen.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
So don't quote me on this, but I think so
because this is the eighth episode.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I think it's the last, and I see all of
these theories about who's going to die, about who's going
to die?
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Who do you think?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I hope the Pops dies? Ooh, but he's doing too
much to me.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I don't you know what I feel like that would
be too easy of applying to.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I thinks it would be someone we don't expect to die.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, I could see that all right.
Speaker 10 (14:35):
Now.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Another thing that just happened Trevor Jackson. He has been
casted on Grades Anatomy.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I love Trevor Jackson. I met him when he was
really young. I did his media training when he signed
show that shows a lot twenty one Jesus and so
they said he'll appear in the season twenty one finale
and have the aption to become a series regular if
the show is renewed for a twenty second sea in
which they expect, yes, that it will be. So shout
(15:02):
out to Trevor Jackson for that.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That's a new jail.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Good for him, and he's just a really nice person.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I've never seen an episode, but I'm glad it's Barthen
all right.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And there is a new did He accuser? Oh lord,
I know now this one is wild.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
This alleged victim says that did He sexually assaulted and
humiliated him at one of his freak offs from April
twenty fifteen, and that jay Z, Beyonce Lebron and Gloria
Estefan were all seeing him throughout the night.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That doesn't mean they had That doesn't mean they had
to do with his humiliation. They could have just been
at the party.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
So allegedly, this person is saying this took place during
a birthday party for Christian Comb, did he s and
that they allegedly shamed him by strapping a penis to
his face and parading him around.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Then he said he.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Was drugged and transported to Star Island for the party
and was dragged to the back entrance of a mill
and Gloria Estefan's mansion and that she saw him in
a drug and duce stupor and demanded an ambulance and
Amelio silenced her and they returned to the party.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
And then yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
Who is this guy?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
His name by the way, he's a man from Florida.
His name is Joseph Manzaro.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Joeys, Florida. And why was he at the party? Not
the victim shame?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I'm just curious, why would like is he in the industry,
Like why did he get invited.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Or I don't know, but these are just all allegations
right now. So Diddy's team said in a statement to TMC.
This complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiff will travel to
garner headlines in pursuit of a payday. No sane person
reading this complaint could credit this story. There's a lot
more to it that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Doesn't seem real. I mean, now, I'm not defending Diddy.
Diddy is guilty, but I don't think Diddy is guilty
of that.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Yeah, there's a lot more.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I mean, there's a locking sex device involved in this story.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I think he's just he's just writing a kinky little
erodica story.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
He's about to pubblish him with a little fifty.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You couldn't here. I'm gonna let you read this, all right.
Well that is your yucie. When we come back under
the radar, these are the stories that are not necessarily
and the headlines. They're flying under the radar, and we
have a breaking news one of those for you.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's way up to you.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
These stories are flying under the radar, all right?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
His way up with Angela Yee, I'm here with akem Woods.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
What's that boot?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
What UPO?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And time for these under the radar stories? And this
story just broke. A judge has dismissed Eric adams case,
this corruption case against Eric Adams, and said that also
charges cannot be brought again. You know, the Justice Department,
Donald Trump's Justice Department wanted to be able to have
(17:39):
the option to after his mayoral campaign is over, after
he's you know, no longer mayor and he is running again,
they could bring it back. And the reason why the
judge said that you no known that you cannot bring
these charges. It's been dismissed without prejudice, was because it
would mean that people thought that he would be doing
(18:00):
what Donald Trump wanted him to do, so that they
wouldn't be able to bring those so that Donald Trump
wouldn't bring charges against him later. So, in other words,
he can't bring the charges back because if the judge
would have let them do that, then Eric Adams would
have been beholden to do whatever Donald Trump wanted him
to do so that he would be in the clear.
But now that they know that these charges can't be
used as leverage, that's why they.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Did that, all right, understood?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
And speaking of Donald Trump, they're talking about these tariffs,
and one thing that Trump is apparently considering is a
twenty percent universal tax on all US imports. So that
would mean a lot of money that we would have
to spend. They're saying, on average, that could cost Americans
about thirty eight hundred dollars a year for the typical
(18:46):
middle class household and indisposable income due to higher prices,
and the top ten percent of earners would see that
inflation adjusted income drop by ninety five hundred dollars per year.
The bottom ten percent would lose about twenty four hundred dollars.
But most people don't have that disposable income to just
be saying, all right, here's an extra about four thousand
dollars a year from me. So Donald Trump is expected
(19:08):
to unveil these sweeping tariffs and announce his quote Liberation
Day plan at four pm.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Good, good job, poor poor white people who voted for him.
Good for y'all.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I thought we were supposed to have less inflation. I
thought the plan was right, didn't they didn't Donald Trump
run on that.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Yeah, his whole plan was so much for eggs.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, eggs are gonna be cheaper, and we gonna get
gas prices down, and we're gonna end all this and yeah,
and then you know.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Right, so and there's been so much back and forth
with what's going on with these tariffs. US stocks did
open lower Wednesday, and you know, markets are like, we
don't know what's going on. There's a lot of uncertainty
right now. All right, Well that is you're under the radar.
We do have the Way Up Mix at the top
of the hour, and you know we got to do it.
I mean, today is a Wealth Wednesday, so we are
(19:57):
going to talk all things finances.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Which we need now.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We need this now more than ever because how could
we not, right, So let's do all of those things.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Happy Wealth Wednesday. It's way up.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Well, she's like to talk like they Angela Jean like
they Angela Jean.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Man, She's spilling it all.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
This is yeaky way up.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
It's way up at Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I'm here with comedian extraordinary rakeem Woods and let's get
into some yet. Let's talk about Kiki Palmer first.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I love her so much.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Now this clip I saw posted on a Jasmine brand
where she's talking about how she likes to break up
with people, Well, she likes to make people break up
with her. Here's what she said, tell me how you
are with relationships.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I try to get the other person to break up
with me because it's hard for me to say goodbye.
I'm like scared and so like I find myself being
like we're done, and there be like we'll get into
a conflict and we're somehow back together again.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Hey, you do that girl because.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
They don't want to leave me and I want you
to go.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
There you go. But honestly, she's just being honest because.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I just so crazy today break up with you. I
know people have probably giving her the business. But let's
not act like other people don't do that too. They're
just not as honest about it.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Guys do that too. Guys on her guys do not
like to break up. They like to make you.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Because they don't want to. They don't want to hurt
someone's feeling.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Right, then it's like you made the decision even though
I made it for you.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, Well, they're also there's a split thing about her
going on. It's it's actually trending because she is about
to have Jonathan Mage's on her part on that podcast
Baby This is Kekey Palmer, and the description says accountability.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
It's a loaded word, right, we're.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Living in a time where we want real accountability, especially
for things men have gotten away with for far too long.
At the same time, finding forgiveness feels harder than ever,
and we're still figuring out what true accountability even looks like. Today,
we're sitting down with Jonathan Majors to talk about what
life has looked like after being convicted of harassment and assault.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I don't see anything wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So people were like, oh, this is Keiky's doing this,
isn't she a victim herself, and blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
But it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And I think that's the best conversation that has somebody
who's gone through something exactly with somebody who chially has
these accusations and had this case.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I think it's important to give him a chance to
tell his story, right, and I.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Think maybe and maybe be Hell's accountable exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I think he's fair to tell a story.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
All right, So we shall see. It comes out April eighth.
I'm excited to see it, and I think if you
have wonder, you get like a you can hear it earlier.
All right, Now, young Scooter, this has been a wild story.
People are trying to figure out what happened. And the
woman who made the nine to one call on March
twenty eighth, where she claimed that there was a naked
woman being beaten within the edge of her life, has
now been arrested. So here is what that call sounded like.
Speaker 12 (22:37):
There was literally a shooting the house at a I'm
just I'm the neighborhood watch. There's a situation going on
this house. There are seven guys that live here and
they're basically I'm not sure if they're running some top
of sex traffic. This individual, she's a five to two
life skinned female, black hair. She ran outside naked, lead
(22:57):
it from her face. She tried to go, she tried
to get away, she was dragged back into the house
and they're holding her hostage and then there was a
baby of all. This situation is really serious and he's
parting her. If you guys don't get her, she's going
to be really hurt.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Well, this is a false nine to one that led
to young Scooter actually dying. That was the series of
events that snowballed into that. So she was booked into
Fulton County Jail yesterday and she's tried with transmitting a
false public alarm, and they did atleast that mug shot
as well of her and the Jets had are bond
at seventy five hundred dollars. She has to stay away
(23:34):
from the scene where the incident happened.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I don't even have time to play this.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
But she also went live and claimed that you know,
she was the person that was being abused.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, no, it sounds like she's lying, because it's like,
it just sounds if she was the person to being used.
Why didn't you call and say that at the beginning, Like,
why why would you even lie?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
We have time right here. It is.
Speaker 10 (23:56):
There's a reaction for every every action. This is part eight.
You guys didn't have Part A. You guys only have
Part B and the narrative. It looks like I was
trying to set this bed up because you guys don't
have part B of giving you Part B of giving
you what led up to the call. I was physically abused,
so I called to protect myself.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
That's the that's the issue.
Speaker 10 (24:19):
I never had any intentions to get anybody hurt, and
I came here to save our truth.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
That's it, that's all. I don't want no cloud at
the end.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
Of the day, I'm a world it and I was
physically abused multiple times.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
All right, well the truth will come out, and that
is you're ye t when we come back. We have
asked yee eight hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty
meters and I came right here to help. That's eight
hundred two ninety two fifty one fifty its way.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
All right, everybody exist, whether it's relationship with Korean advice,
Angela's dropping facts.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
What's up? His way up at Angela?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yee, I'm here and my guy I Kem was this here?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
What's up boo?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
What's up boo?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
And we have Keandra on the line for asking you, Hey, Keandra, how.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
You doing good?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (25:06):
How can we help you?
Speaker 11 (25:07):
I'm good? I was calling me to add how do
you guys deal with narcissistic men? It's like I keep
running into a lot of narcissistic me.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Now, tell me your definition of like what makes them narcissistic?
Speaker 9 (25:19):
Just so I know, like a person who you know,
they can know they're doing something wrong, but even when
you're trying to like address it, they like make it
to be you as the problem more like the problem.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Starter Okay, so they don't take accountability for what they do.
They do things, and then they put it on you
like you made them do this, right, Well, what's keeping you?
So it's not a relationship, it's just that everybody you
run into as your dating happen to be narcissistic.
Speaker 12 (25:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
They painting as if I'm the issue, and it got
to a point where I really started to believe it.
And granted, everybody has flaws, but I don't think like
within the lines of me and another person that is
just solely my fault.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Are you meeting these men at the same place? Like,
are you meeting these men similar places? You think maybe
you should change the places that you're meeting these men.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
Absolutely, that's probably the problem.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, well you need to expand your circle and try
something different because everything that you've been doing isn't working.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, you see, it's like whatever you're doing is getting
you the same type of w Where are you meeting them?
Speaker 11 (26:20):
It could be like at work or outside of work.
I might be out with friends, you know, I could
be out handling errands or running errands.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I mean, but it.
Speaker 11 (26:29):
Seems like me being in the general vicinity of everything
is the same thing like probably my age group.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Too, but whatever, maybe you need to get out your
comfort zone and maybe you need to try online dating.
Speaker 11 (26:41):
I'm oh, my gosh, I'm so opposed to it.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Why.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
I don't know. I just don't feel like it's for me.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Listen, try it and if it's not for you, then
it's not for you. Or try one of those little those.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Mix those mingles, singles, mingles, things that they have.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Well, the only reason I say that is because a
lot of people and I get it right, because online
dating it could feel like, oh.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
This is you know, scarier. Sometimes people feel like a
loser for it.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
But the truth is, if what you're doing isn't working,
this is a better way for you to get an
idea of what people are like according to their profile
and things like that, and you can have conversations before
you actually go out to kind of date with intention
of what it is that you're looking for. And when
you have these conversations, if somebody is not online you know,
aligned with what you want, then.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
You don't have to go out with them.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, you could take your time, you could talk to people,
you could see how interested they are in you. I
think sometimes it's better to have conversations than to actually
jump into dating, so that I have a chance to
even know if I want to date you based off
of those conversations.
Speaker 11 (27:42):
I can understand that. Yeah, I mean, maybe it's meed too,
like I said, not doing everything I need to do,
because like you said, maybe it's I need explore online dating.
I could ask the questions that needs to be answered before.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, just branch out a little bit, get out of
your comfort zone.
Speaker 11 (27:57):
Yeah, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
All right, we wish you the most luck. Okay, dating
and easy, it's not, thank you, but it can't be fun,
all right, take care? All right, Well that was ask
ye eight hundred and two ninety two fifty one fifty.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Call us up any question. We're here to help you
out and what broke.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
But we have Ashley Fox joining us, former Wall Street
analysts and CEO of Emplifizer. She helps people learn how
to build wealth with their minds and with their bank
accounts because it's all related. Happy Wealth Wednesday is way
up kind of dream of.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Wealthy and I don't mind sharing my wealth dog.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Getting you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is wealth
Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
What's up this way up with Angela Yee. I'm here
with my girls Stacy Tisdale for Wealth Wednesday.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
Happy Wealth Wednesdays, everybody.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
We are so excited today to.
Speaker 14 (28:49):
Have the one, the only Ashley Fox on the show
to fill your heads with financial wisdom. We are so
proud of what Ashley has done with her own life
in her own career. She's a former Wall Street analyst
and we were just talking about Wall Street and she
founded Empithy, which is an incredible financial education platform in
(29:09):
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
And power and Modify yes, Empify Yes.
Speaker 14 (29:13):
And she's an HBCU grad. And right off the bat,
what the heck terms of where are we right now?
What are like the top two pieces of financial advice
you're giving the people in this crazy environment?
Speaker 15 (29:27):
So I would say the first thing is breathed because
this is actually the best time to learn. And I
always tell people when it's like when we go shopping
on Black Friday and everything's on sale, we have no
problem with all prices dropping and we go shopping, but
what about the stock market. Some of the biggest and
best companies prices are dropping, which means we're getting it
on sale, And.
Speaker 13 (29:45):
Think about it. Though.
Speaker 15 (29:45):
People get so scared of the stock market when it's up,
and it we're scared of it when it's down. So
when do we actually start to invest? And so one
I would say, breeze. The other thing I would say
is getting the game. This is the time to really
build wealth, like I think about So when I was
at Howard in two thousand, I watched the stock market
crash from my dorm room TV, and I didn't really
know too much about what was going on because I'm
trying to get.
Speaker 13 (30:05):
On Wall Street.
Speaker 15 (30:06):
But when I was on Wall Street, I worked on
individuals that had at least twenty five million dollars, and
I watched how they made money as a result of
the two thousand and eight crash, and I said, I
am not missing out on this opportunity. So when the
pandemic happened and the stock market crash, I went crazy,
Like I went shopping in the market, and I was
buying some of the biggest and best companies, and I
made a ton of money because while the market.
Speaker 13 (30:26):
Was scared, eventually we survived the pandemic.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
So just as much as we've survived every stock market crash,
why wouldn't we survive this stock.
Speaker 13 (30:33):
Market crash or whatever's going on. I don't know how we.
Speaker 15 (30:35):
Want to classify it, but it's is volati when I
think about just.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
People like we are one hundred percent undefeated at life.
This can't stop us. This won't stop us. Let's use
this as an opportunity to win, to grow, to learn,
and to.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Build well and your stereo.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I also said there was a period of time when
you really went on a shopping Oh.
Speaker 13 (30:52):
Yeah, I lost everything, girl.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Yeah, I want to hear about that because you're just like.
What I love about you is that you know, we
follow you on social media. You're always giving advice, but
you're also just like us, and it's easier for me
to look at somebody who's been through some things that
I've been through and came through on the other side successfully.
And now you've learned some things. So talk to us
(31:13):
about that period of time you were doing well financially.
Speaker 15 (31:16):
It was so I was on Wall Street, and every
day when I'm on Wall Street, I'm in the bank
accounts of the millionaire as a millionaire, so I'm seeing
where they shop, where they live, travel, what they invested in.
And I felt like I was on the wrong end
of the table. And when I'm gonna go back home
to Philly, where I'm from, I'm making six figures, but
like I don't have at least twenty five million. And
I just felt like, for something we're using every day
of our life, why is it I talking about school systems?
Why did I have to go to Howard work on
(31:37):
Wall Street to really understand how to buy a stock?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
You know?
Speaker 15 (31:40):
And so I always wanted to be a teacher, though
I actually nobody knows that. But I felt like I
had to chase the money. I was chasing the money,
I was chasing the reputation everything, And so I decided
to leave because I wanted to build something that targeted
the ninety nine percent that Wall.
Speaker 13 (31:53):
Street often overlooks.
Speaker 15 (31:54):
Now this was back in twenty thirteen, so entrepreneurship was
not sexy. Instagram just started to kind of get like
start to people started to post pictures and things like that.
But I felt like something inside of me was like,
you are that girl. You are able to translate this
Wall Street knowledge bring it to these everyday people. But
you understand Wall Street and you understand how they feel.
Because I didn't grow up with rich parents, like we
(32:15):
grew up middle class. My family bought stocks because I
open their investment accounts.
Speaker 13 (32:19):
I funded their accounts. So when I left.
Speaker 15 (32:21):
Wall Street, I had thirty thousand dollars when I could.
So I'm rich and I'm never wearing stockings again. And
I'm just like, you know, I'm gonna figure this thing.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
Out, right.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
But I had this idea, and I made up this
word right called emplify, because I really wanted to shift
our mindset, because building wealth is not just about hey,
let me teach you what a stock is, because you
have the information on the internet. When you when you
lack empowerment, you speak into people and not at people,
you can start to change the way they sing. And
so when we think about emplify, it's the word empower.
We're going to empower you to say, hey, if you
(32:49):
want to start with five dollars, we're gonna build wealth
with five dollar. We're gonna five dollars our way.
Speaker 13 (32:53):
Till we get to a million.
Speaker 15 (32:54):
But when you start to empower people and you give
them education, it changes them.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yes, guys, it is our wealth. Wednesday, Ashley five is here.
I'm here with my wealth Wednesday. Partner Stacy Tisdale. We
have more with the CEO of Amplify, who by the way,
is also a Howard University graduate and an AKA.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
When we come back, it's way up.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Got a dream of wealthy and I don't mind sharing
my wealth.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
Dog Get you straight financially, mentally and physically. This is
Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Yee.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (33:20):
His way up at Angela Yee and Happy Wealth Wednesday.
I'm here with Stacy Tisdale and our special guest is
Ashlee Fox, a former Wall Street analyst and CEO of Amplify.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Stacy, you have a question.
Speaker 14 (33:31):
I know, going from Wall Street to media and then
an entrepreneurship entrepreneurs you're there's going to be financial ups
and downs.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It's just a nature of entrepreneurship.
Speaker 14 (33:41):
Teaching financial wellness, teaching about money. When as an entrepreneur
you're experiencing the ups and downs. Did you ever struggle
with those contradictions?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Sometimes?
Speaker 13 (33:50):
I did, because I remember I was getting kicked out.
Speaker 15 (33:53):
People thought I was a millionaire and I'm just I
would read articles people will write and I'm just like you.
I'm living at my parents' house for two years on
their couch and But here's the thing though, and I
say this to everybody, regardless of the balance in your
bank account, it is not a direct correlation to who
you believe you'll become.
Speaker 13 (34:09):
So I would walk and talk like I.
Speaker 15 (34:12):
Ran a billion dollar bus, Like right now on social media,
I call myself the billion dollar CEO because the ash
that got to her first million is not the Ashley
that's going to create a billion dollar business. So I
have to train in my dress like a billion dollar ceo.
Am I running my team like a billion dollar ceo?
And so and again it's not even by money, it's
about your just your mental your mindset, Like you have
to be so resilient, so focused and not let the doubts,
(34:33):
the fears, the worry because they exist, but it cannot
be the loudest voice in your head. So I believed
Ashley was going to change the world a lot more
than I believed Ashley couldn't figure it out. And I
think to those little wins you get as an entrepreneur,
like the Ink Top female founders, like it came at
the moment where I feel like what am I doing
in my business?
Speaker 13 (34:51):
And it's just like, oh my gosh, thank you guys
and it.
Speaker 15 (34:53):
Just gives you Yeah, and so I still feel it
to this day.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So I want to ask you something about what Mark
Cuban said because this went viral. I know you have
to see this stacy where he said at south By
Southwest he was on a panel with Tabatha Brown and
he talked about black women founders right, and he said,
I would tell you not to look for funding. You
have to figure out a way to use sweat equity
to build it on your own, even if it means
(35:17):
starting smaller and slower, because there is a learning process
and it's twofold. One is learning about your business and
making it loanworthy. Then two is learning the language of
those making loans. So you know, we already as black
women have a huge funding gap. Black women business owners
who apply for funding face at three time higher rejection
rate than that of white business owners, and only two
percent of venture capital funding in the US goes to
(35:39):
female only founding teams. What do you think about what
markubits Because I saw people arguing in the comments about.
Speaker 15 (35:44):
It, so interestingly enough, when I started amplify the venture
capital thing, it existed because I saw our clients doing it.
Speaker 13 (35:52):
But it wasn't like a thing right. I did not
know about venture capital.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I didn't I.
Speaker 15 (35:57):
Couldn't get a loan when I was trying to get
not get evicted from my apartment, So I figured I
wasn't qualified for debt. I already had student loans, and
for me, Empifi was just so much bigger and I
was gonna figure it out. So I bootstrap Empithy to
this day because I didn't know money was accessible. Regardless
of what the stats say to me. You can tell
me what the stat says when it comes to me.
IM coming coming to emplify when it comes to me
(36:17):
building wealth. Wealth doesn't have a color. Therefore it looks
just like me. I don't care if you identify me
as a black woman. I am actually Marie Fox is
beautiful being in this world. I'm gonna figure this out.
So knowing that I don't let stats like that or
comments like that deter me from You're gonna wanna buy
my my bo my company.
Speaker 13 (36:32):
I'm going to build a scalable business.
Speaker 15 (36:34):
And but I think the advantage that I had is
when I left Wall Street, I would well while I
was there too, I would see how our clients invested
in startups. I would sit in Harvard Angel investor meetings
seeing these cool companies, but the questions they're asking them,
I'm just like, Oh, I never thought of it like that.
So now as an investor, I'm not investing in your
product or service, I'm investing your ability to hire and
