In this powerful episode of Growing Up Brooklyn, we sit down with Olivia Newton, a Canarsie native whose journey takes us from the heart of Brooklyn’s hip hop golden era to the fast-paced world of NYC real estate, where she’s now making serious moves as a rising power player.
From working for some of the biggest names in 90s and 2000s hip hop, to breaking barriers in an industry that rarely makes space for women of color, Olivia’s story is one of grit, evolution, and undeniable Brooklyn pride.

Olivia’s family and upbringing
Transitioning to the real estate game
How Brooklyn’s hustle shaped her success
This episode is a tribute to reinvention, legacy, and the unstoppable force of a woman from Brooklyn with a vision.
