• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to be here. I really appreciate you coming on the show. Uh.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I know I've limited time with your so let's get
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: straight to the questions. I'm sure you used to being
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: doing television lives, so you used to people coming at
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you real quick and you know what's happening. Uh. You
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: know you have a strong voice in the media landscape
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: or you would you say you a political influencer or
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a brand influencer? UM, I would say neither. I would
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: say that I am an advocate. UM that I'm someone
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: who fights diligently for macro and micro level change. Um
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: growing up in the house with an with an activists,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so UM, I don't really see myself as an influencer.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: People are influenced the great um. I bet my My
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: primary goal in life is to make things better for
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: for human beings, for human kind. And I say that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I focused most of that energy are making things better
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for black folks. Well, you're doing a good job, a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: great job, Angela. And I'm a marketing guru, as they say,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I'm a brand specialist, and I have to say you
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: are an influencer, especially when I saw the video that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that was posted on the Washington Post that you did
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: with Latasha Brown and Tiffany Cross and and Alicia Gaza
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and the Sonny and you saw it for the man
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the seals in that article talking about Biden still needs
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: black women and here are a few things he needs
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to do. Now, that article is an influencing article to me.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And so that's why that's a good thing. There's nothing
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: negative about being influenced as far as I'm concerned, because
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you build your brand to say that you know and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: your voice I think stands out and so when when
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I have you on the show, because you are influence.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You're a person who who moves the needle, as they say,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and so talking to talk us about that, tell us
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: about that that that the video that's on, watching the post,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and talk us about why why black women are so
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: important to the bad efforts to get back into the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: White House, to get getting the White House. First he
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was the vice president, but this time he'd like to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: go back as the president. Yeah, I think, Um, it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: really really clear, um, And that's why to me, it
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was so easy for me to write that piece with
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: my sister. Um, some of whom you know are on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: top shows and others who run various platforms. There are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: activists in there, all right. And what's very clear that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you know, election after election, black women, black people really
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: do so much to ensure um that Democrats aren't in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a position of power that um, you know, they win
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and so often our thinks is that they are there,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but our thinks is not in them meeting agenda items
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that would be required of any other voter who knows
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that their vote is worthy of something. Um. You know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: as an attorney, you learn um that uh, in a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: contract there is a bargain for exchange, and a bargain
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: for exchange means that I will give you something, but
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in return I get something, and we're telling them the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: things that we need in return. UM. Part of what
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: is unfortunate for this particular campaign is that it comes
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: years and years and generations after this bargain for exchange
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hasn't really been bargained for, and in fact, there hasn't
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: been exchange and exchange at all. There's just been a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: repeated gift, a gifting of the of our voting power, UM,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and it hasn't been rewarded. And so we're saying it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: time out for that UM, and it has to be
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: right now. I think that what's happened was coronavirus has
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: certainly shined a bright light on UM the inequities that
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: exist in this country, and it has made us say,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know no more, you know it's time for something
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: very different to happen. And that's surely because of our
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: our need to survive and to thrive in this country,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: which I totally agree on pace with you with that. Now,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: there are three things he needs to do for black
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: women in particular, black people overall. But let's talk about
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: this articles about black women, and that's the first one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: America needs a black woman as Vice President. M H.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That was your first comment. Do you have a person
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: or at least some options you'd like to recommend. I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: actually think that going into who the options are is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a distraction right now, because the principle is in just
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: getting them to agree that we are worthy of that right,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that we are worthy of UH, a VP that looks
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: just like us, who is representing our best interest. It's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not that any black woman would do right. It is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that there are an abundance of qualified black women to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: choose from. And so don't you don't get to say
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: this time that you don't have anybody who's qualified. You
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: don't get to say this time that you don't have
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: anyone who's experienced. That is not true. And so that's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: what we wanted to focus on. UM, it's been a
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: listening and they mean name awesome. And the other other
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: two was American needs a black female Supreme Court justice.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Your comments, yes, yes, And we we tied that specifically
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to UM what happened with UM Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And you know this is the yes. This was supposed
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to be Um. You know, the man who was replacing
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and fulfilling the legacy of thurgand Marshall, and instead he's,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, I'll say, pooh pooed
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: on it, Um, So I'll cut on your show. And
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the other thing that we have is, yes, Anita Hill.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And it's not just that Anita Hill was shamed before
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the Judiciary committee that Joe Biden chairs, because she also
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: got a half hearted apology only after he announced his
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: campaign for running for president this time. So we certainly
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: go Anita Hill. And I gotta be honest with you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and say, even though I'm not naming name, it's sure
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: would be poetic justice to have Anita Hill on that bench.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you would want it, but wow,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that would be something that would be awesome. Now, the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: third one, which I think was not so much driven
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: by female but just a black agenda, period of comprehensive
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: black agenda, is tied to the physical violence that's being
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: just just we're sleeping in our bedrooms and police officers
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: just coming in, and you're jogging down the street and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: people just randomly just shooting you. You You getting choked out
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in New York it's just so in the backyard of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Sack of Sacramento getting shot a hundred times, there's just
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: so many and so many rotine things. And I tell you,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: as a black man, I do think about that. I do.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I do have concerns. I do have concerns. I want
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to walk around with a with a mask on because
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of the pandemic times that we live in. Can somebody
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be stupid that day? And I want to question why
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I have a mask on when everybody else has a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: mask on. And so let's talk about that. The comprehensive
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Black agenda. Yeah, And I think that this is this
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: part is really straightforward to you know, regardless of who
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: is in power, Black people have some um certain needs
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: based on our historic positioning in this country that dated
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that dates back to four hundred plus years um of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: institutional uh of slavery, um that goes to Jim Crow,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that goes to redlining, that goes to mask incarceration. There
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: are some systemic wrongs that have uniquely um taken place
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for black people that need to be addressed. And it
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: needs to be addressed whether there is a Republican, a Democrat,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a libertarian, a tea part whoever it is into the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: position of power. This needs to be addressed, and I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: would argue at every level. For Sean, it needs to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: be at the local level. That's what I'm saying. I'm
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: talking to local. I'm just going to progress and I'm worried. Okay, Yes,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I understand, and I'm just agreeing with you that. Yeah,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that is indeed the case that we have to start saying. Hey,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and this isn't just about UM racial injustice, UM through
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a societal or a social lens um or through you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the less of a criminal justice reform plan. It is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: also about our economic empowerment UM, our economic opportunity. My
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: dad is called for years for a specific satisfide and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: designation for people who are the descendants of the United
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: States enslaved. He now says, he says, we should not
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: say slaves anymore. It should be enslaved because they put
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the onus on the slave, um, the slave holder to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: say enslaved. And so UM, that is that is one
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of the things that should be done. UM. There should
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: be a robust agency like the Minority Business Development Agency
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: that specifically addresses the needs of black business. UM. So
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: there's I mean, there's so many things that need to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: be addressed. Livable wage, um you know, access to healthcare
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: or you know free healthcare, Medicare for all would certainly
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: helped black people. And so often we shy away from
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: what is u beinged as progressive. It is called socialist policy,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and that is because people don't want to have to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: repay the debts that are owed to black people. But
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: those are the things that would help us, which is amazing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Before we wrap up here, how did all the all
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of the individuals. It's finally here the season of celebration,
• 11:50

  Speaker 1: saw and in body can go into Washington Post and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you can see it yourself. In fact, I'm a post
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it on my social media tonight so they can see
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it on my Facebook and see exactly what the impact
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of what you guys are trying to me. How do
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you who did somebody call somebody? Somebody called another person?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: How did all them get on the well we we
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: UM there are A conversation was first held around the
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: politics of coronavirus with a group of black women. We
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: held Black Women Speak and from that UM just grew
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: this sisterhood and UM it was expanded to include some
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: two women in the field who are doing the work
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: every day, and that is UM Latasha Brown who rust
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Black Voters Matter and frankly helped to secure the victory
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: for Doug Jones and that senest site in Alabama. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: then also Alicia Garza who we referred to in the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: article UM for Black Futures Lab. They've they've developed this
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: agenda Sean. That was UM built upon serving thirty thousand
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Black people all over the country. It's the largest survey
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: of black people in a hundred and fifty five years.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And UM that is where the policy recommendations come from
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in that agenda, and we say, hey, this is a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: good place to start your list. Every voice agenda is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: not sufficient. It does not even scribe the surface on
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: what we needed black people. But Alicia's Alicia, Alicia Garza's
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: UM plan does and so we asked them to participate
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: in this with us because we know that their voices
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: are powerful. We know they represent the interests of the culture.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: UM from a grassroots and an organizing standpoint and certainly
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: from an advocate advocacy perspective, that's amazing. I'm talking to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Angela Ray. She's the CEO of Impact Strategies. You catch

  Speaker 1: coronavirus kind of quarantine and Safer in Place began talking
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to UM some of the biggest stars, people who I'm
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: fortunate to have really have relationship with and close to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and are my friends or were a call away like UM,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Miss Patty LaBelle who did a cooking session with me, UM,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Chris Paul who did a dribble clinic with me. We
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: have a podcast coming up with method Man who was
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: teaching me how to freestyle. So I'm learning these different craft.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It was super fun um from these people who are
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: amazing in their work, and I wanted the viewing audience
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: to learn with me or to laugh at me, because
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I might not be as good as they hope. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: think I did all right on the cooking when the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: rest of these all neat work. How about the drible
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: So you failed on the dribble man came on my
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Instagram live after and told me that I was cut.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I said, Coach, I didn't even make it to the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: first practice. You know, you mentioned several times about the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: pandemic period that we're in, and yeah, it's amazing. You know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I've been uh invited on a lot of shows. I've
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: somewhat become a pandemic expert, especially when I look at
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the plight of the people of color and especially African Americans.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: What bothers you the most, how the media is kind
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of like suppressed it, and really it had one little
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: moment in the sun and then it's like hit the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: back burner after that because you can't grab any more stats.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I can't find them about how and I have to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: do deep reach, deep dyve research to find out a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: breakdown on how blacks are still being overtly affected by
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the you know, the holding virus. Tell us your impact
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: or your feelings on that. But you know what I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: think it's so fascinating about this is an opportunity for
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: us to lift up another Black woman, um Ayanna Presley,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: who is a first term congresswoman from Massachusetts, who took
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it upon herself to say, I need to know how
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: black people are being impacted by this virus. And so
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you're going to pull data that shows me what that
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: adverse impact and that disproportionate impact is. And so thanks Guyana,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: we will see those numbers. They will not be able
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to hide. Um. And I think it's really important for
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: us to understand the importance of having advocates both in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the streets and in the halls of Congress. Um. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: she's one in the halls of Congress who's doing that work,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and it's so important that we continue to lift that up.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I think the other things that we have to see
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: as are the ianas that are making that same case
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: on the state level, right, so we understand how we're
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: faring in the state. UM. It was discussed on seeing
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: it last night, actually that black people currently, of course,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you make up twelve percent of the overall demographics in
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: this country, but we make up more than twenty seven
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: percent of the of the COVID cases per cent. That
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is large, and it's of course disproportionate. We have a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: lot of the underlying conditions, which means we are putting
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: ourselves in harms, in harm's way, and we're overwhelmingly essential
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: workers right um, and for whatever reason, they still have
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: not um bridged that gap between what it means to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: be an essential worker and an essential life. You know,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it's really it's amazing, you know, because just to give
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: some more status to that, there was people here that
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I even I was talking. Numbers don't lie. You know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in Chicago of the residents of the black of the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: COVID nighteen deaths are blacks. Seven out of ten COVID
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: deaths and new allus in the state of Louisiana have
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: been black. When that report came out in April, people
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: can understand now once you read the report. While Mary
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Kesha last Bottom was upset when you see that eight
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: percent of the hospitalized COVID and a teen patients and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Georgia were black, and the numbers go on and on.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: That came out and and when Georgia opened up, you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: he opened Georgia three days before that CDC report came out.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: So that was that was a strategy all along, that
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: it didn't matter about black people. I'm gonna move forward.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I have no plan to save rask black people, have
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: no plan to help out black people. It's about me
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and my agenda. And that's really what disturbed you, the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: motion that when I hear about what you what you
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: did in the Washington Post, and you talk about the agenda,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: that's what we're saying. If we're gonna give about vote,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: get something back this time in writing and righting and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: otherwise she's just gonna sit back and go they're gonna
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: go through the motions again and again another four years,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna come back to us with the same stale.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: We need your plan and we're gonna deliver because the other,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the other option doesn't even have an option for us,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: it doesn't exist. And so I really appreciate you your
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: honesty when you talk about these things. But before we wrap,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I saw all freedom freedom t shirt of freedom hoodies
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: yea for women. Talk to us about that before you
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: get out of here, because you know, I really appreciate
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: a person who who Who's Who's Who's branding. That's what
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we're talking about, Brandon, branding your message, branding your reputation,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: branding your tone. Talk about the freedom line? So, um,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: what the overall line? I guess it's just my stuff.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But I have this affinity to T shirts and apparel
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that have affirmations on them. Um. My good friend be
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Mike out of New Orleans has a shirt that says,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I am my ancestors wildest dreams, Um, wildest dreams. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like I want people to know how I
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: feel about myself by what I'm wearing. And I want
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to remind myself how I feel about myself. So, um,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: one journey that I've been on for some time is
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: just freedom and what does it really mean? And how
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: do you really like tap into a boldly walk in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: your freedom and in liberation? And so the shirts, Um,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: this this thing that just always stood out to me
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: is freedom looks better on you than else? Right, that's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: certainly better than so freedom looks good on you? Is
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that affirmation and a lot of people agree with it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I have another shirt, um that we're gonna do a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: rerelease for that says, we built this joint for free,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and I think that, um, the for free part is
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: not something that we are necessarily proud of, but we're
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: proud of the fact that we built something with a
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: strong foundation that now we need to be richly rewarded for.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Uh So, I just think it's it's about um statements
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of facts, and I love affirmations and I will support
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: support a bunch of folks who have the same thing.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: My friend Alicia Garza, who we just talked about, has
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a sweatshirt that says powerful Black voter, and I love
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that because it reminds me, you know, of the not
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: just of the power of just the vote, but the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: power you have politically, especially when we exercise it with
