When I grew up, there was always 82 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: community based shows where they shove them on Sunday. You know, 83 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: if you get up early before church you can hear them, 84 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, and then you don't know what you listening too, 85 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: as you either stay do too late.

I know the importance 93 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: of helping to pay for your education. But most importantly, 94 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: it was a community. It was family. Um. You walk 95 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: in the door and there was a sense of family, 96 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: people who cared about your success and they invested in you. Well. 97 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: The beauty of that is that the third and Marshall 98 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: College Fund. And you know we we we hear about opportunities. 99 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: Were here about scholarship. You gotta apply for everything. Now, 100 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: I got a big event coming up this Saturday that 101 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: you're going to be called the HBCU College Day, HBCU 102 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: College Day, bringing in military recruiters, corporate recruiters, and and 103 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: HBCU recruiters. And I'm also bringing you in. Why was 104 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: it important? Because I'm bringing in high school seniors and 105 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: juniors and young adults. Why isn't is it important that 106 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: you be at that event for the type of students 107 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: are crowded. I'm bringing to HBCU College which is on 108 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: the camp the campus of Clark Atlanta University this Saturday, 109 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: ten am to six pm. It's important because HBCUs are 110 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: important to us. We champion the ambitions of these students. 111 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: We see ourselves in a lot of these students. Um 112 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: and so the importance is to know that there are 113 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: dollars available. Often you don't know where you're going to 114 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: get the funding for college. You don't know where to start. 115 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: So we're here to help you get the start, get 116 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: the dollars, get to college. Well, you know, I think 117 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: that when I hear the word dollars that has start. Um, 118 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: I know college changed my life. I know that it 119 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: took me seven years to graduate. I'm just telling you. 120 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: You got an NBA by time I got the undergraduate. 121 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: But but that's what college allowed me to do. It 122 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: allowed me to found myself mathematics degree by minds and sociology. 123 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: And if I had to do it all over again, 124 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: I probably would have major in sociology because it really 125 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: opened my mind about life from a black perspective. You know, 126 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: African American study, Black African American studies and sociology is 127 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: an eye opening for anybody if you want to learn 128 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: about how history kind of denies you information. Sure, and 129 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: that's what you know we're dealing with. Now, what information 130 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: you have is the truth? What is not the truth? 131 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: But the truth is you have opportunities. Let's let's break 132 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: down the whole program, the whole process of getting a 133 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: student from point A to point B being a participant 134 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: at Third and Marshall College fund Absolutely. So if you 135 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: think about the process, Um, it starts with high school 136 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: students getting the information and going after the information. Because 137 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: you're right, it doesn't often it's not often dropped in 138 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: your lap. So there has to be an interest. UM. 139 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: You have to understand the process. You have to understand 140 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: how the best position yourself for the process because they're competitive. UM. 141 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: We have fifteen thousand students to apply. We gave scholarship 142 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: to two thousand students last year over five million UM. 143 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: So the money is there, the opportunity is there if 144 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: you set yourself apart. So as a high school senior 145 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: or junior, you should be thinking about not only where 146 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: you want to go, but how are you going to 147 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: pay for it, how are you going to get there? 148 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: And so working through third of Marshall College Fund, we 149 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: have we realize Black excellence comes in all forms, whether 150 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: you're going to college or four year college. We have 151 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: programs for that. UM. We have vocational trade school students. 152 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: If you decide college is not for you, but you 153 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: want to be excellent at uh being being a barber 154 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: or a beautician or some sort of electrical engineer where 155 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: you are sorry electrician, to get a certificate. We have 156 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: funding right now. Scholarship program open sally May. Up to 157 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty five thousand dollars available for first 158 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: year students as well, So you know, maybe you gotta 159 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: get on there with me. You got you know that 160 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: that trade school, because like I said, everybody is in 161 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: my My younger brother he has four barbers barbershops in 162 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: the D C. Area. So I know because he joined 163 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: the military and then he came out and it became 164 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: an entreprenuri X ray technician and then he became an 165 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: entrepreneur in the in the in the barbershop field. So 166 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: I know that he he wasn't cut out to do college. 167 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: He didn't want to go to college, but that didn't 168 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: stop him from being a successful entrepreneur. And when you 169 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: told me that, I never like to pigeonhole people to 170 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: say that if you don't go to college your failure. 171 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: That's not true. You go where your dream or your 172 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: passion takes you, or your gifts allow you to blossom. 173 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: That's what you have to do. And so when you 174 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: told me about the barber, the beauty, the trades coupe, 175 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: why haven't I heard about that before? Well? Two things. 176 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: I think in our community we measure success through degrees 177 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: and stature, um, but we are just starting to have 178 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: the partnerships where we know there's more to black excellence 179 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: than the traditional path that we've been sold before. UM, 180 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: we understand, just as you said, you can be successful 181 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: through trade, through entrepreneurship, and so we are tapping partners 182 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: that believe as we do to invest in these students. 183 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: Close the gap. If you're close to getting that certificate, UM, 184 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: but you don't have the dollars for that last semester, 185 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: we have them um again up to six hundred and 186 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: twenty five thousand, up to two hundred and fifty scholarships. 187 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: We just need the bodies to apply. Wow, did you 188 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: hear that? Called? Four zero four eight zero nine to 189 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: five five four zero four eight eight zero nine to 190 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: five five is the number to call when you and 191 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 1: also go to t MCF dot org completing TMCF dot 192 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: org for completing the dream the Sally May Fund Scholarship. 193 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I get mad, you know, because I 194 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: see these kids, especially in the Atlanta the water boards 195 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: out there. They you're almost like they don't know, they 196 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: don't know that. And I could have been a water boar. 197 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I was out there. I remember when I was in 198 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: their age. Know, if I saw a newspaper, I picked 199 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: it up and went and sold it downtown to make 200 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: my little extra money. But but there are options, and 201 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: so to have you on this show and we're not 202 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: she's gonna be here for a minute now. I didn't 203 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: just bring on and say hi and bye, because we're 204 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: gonna talk about her life as well. But I wanted 205 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: to make sure people understand. I'm shocked when I hear 206 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: things like this, you know, and and I'm one of 207 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: the people who are supposed to know. So that means 208 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: that the people who don't know really have no clue, 209 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: and they're sitting around there not allowing their kid or 210 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: their child to see an opportunity to be different or 211 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: live a different life. And when tell me about the 212 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: Sally May I got that, and now that's totally different 213 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: or is it under the same umbrella of the third 214 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: grad Marshall Cornordge Fund. Are they two different? Because once 215 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: for a four year institution, right and then once for 216 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: a trade school? Is am I correct? So we have 217 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: so many different programs. And the interesting thing is the 218 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: paper on you know, I didn't want to pull out 219 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: the paper on your day Brown. You know, she gonna 220 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: she's gonna act like, you know, she's like, I didn't 221 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: do my homework. I pulled out paper when there come 222 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,239 Speaker 1: on keep talking. We have quite a few different scholarships. 223 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: One money only and that's what this is, Sally made fun. 224 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: We give you the money right. Um. We have opportunities 225 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: where we build skills. There's a City Foundation Career Incubator 226 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: that helps you figure out what you want to do 227 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: and helps you to build the skill level so that 228 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: you can compete in that area. Just skill building and 229 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: then we have the word that you like, the wraparound 230 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: services that bats I was seeing. Her CMO ms Horton 231 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: was at the HBCU College Day in Winston Salem which 232 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: is Winston sale State University last week last Saturday, and 233 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: that was the first time I heard about it. It 234 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: was like it was so eloquent and she spent all day. 235 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: They're passing the information because so many people are table 236 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: head the lines. She was just busy all day because 237 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: people were just so you know, it's beautiful when you 238 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: come to HBCU College Day because you do see the 239 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: parents with their children, you see influence, you see coaches, 240 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: you see what you don't see on TV. As African American, 241 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: we are so stereotyped by the media. Sometimes they only 242 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: show the negative aspect of our of our success story 243 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: and our success story is just like I've told everybody, 244 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: I want to say a thing and the white people want. 245 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: I want a nice house, you know, I want security. 246 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: I get afraid with somebody breaking my house. Okay, I 247 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: don't want people living across street and I think gonna 248 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: steer my car. Same values, I got, same values now. 249 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: But then somebody they think black people want to want 250 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: to live like that. That's or they like they like 251 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: the hood, they like they like they like worrying about it. 252 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: They want people to steer. They stuff, they thieves, you know. 253 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: And that gets me so mad because that's why it's 254 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: important that we understand the options that are available to us, 255 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: because we don't know because of the fact that we're 256 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: not serviced that way with information. And that's what you're 257 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: doing right now. You're serving us information. We go to church, 258 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: but church doesn't always give us this information. Sure, and 259 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it too, is there are 260 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: a lot of students at our first generation and so 261 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: they are figuring it out and mom Um, dad, auntie, grandma. 262 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: They don't know where to start, they don't know how 263 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: to help. So you're right, that's why we're here. We're 264 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: having this conversation. They're listening. They're gonna show up on Saturday, 265 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: eager to get the information and eager to figure out 266 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: how do they get their son, grandson, nephew into college. UM. 267 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: But again, what we love about what we do is 268 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: it's not just getting you to college. It's getting you 269 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: through college and then creating an economic mobility program or 270 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: opportunity for you so that you're successful, that you can 271 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: have those big houses like Mr McDonald's, what you're going 272 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: let me know. I'm like, I'm a brag about my success. 273 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: You know. So even don't die soon, you better have 274 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: somebody letting you know you did something for your diet. Now, 275 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: tell us about your at your high school student because 276 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: you know you you came on a scholarship. Okay, you 277 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: got your NBA from here. Okay, why Clark Atlanta University? 278 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: Oh wow? So I went to University of Georgia undergrad. UM, 279 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: had a great experience, transferred It's exactly, then transferred to 280 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: Georgia State. UM, but I missed that HBCU experience. I 281 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: wanted to have it. UM. I also saw that my 282 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: friends who were in the classes before me had a 283 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities with big companies because this is where 284 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: companies were coming for African American talent. And I remember 285 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: being at Georgia State graduating and nobody was really checking 286 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: for me. I was an average student, um, so I 287 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: didn't have the grades that blew them away. And so 288 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: I did end up with a job, but nothing like 289 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: the opportunities that I received what I left Clark.

Let's talk 400 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: a little bit about you, a little history about you, 401 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: because like you said, it gave you the tools. Then 402 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: you went into the corporate world. Right, Okay, talk about 403 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: that journey because New York City too, But you were 404 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: born in New York City, but you were raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Absolutely, 405 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: look at you. You did do your homework to become 406 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: in this room. I gotta act like I know something. 407 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: But you went back to the Big Apple did, which 408 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: is a very busy, very crowded, very pushy environment if 409 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: you're not ready for it. What made you excel in 410 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: that environment? I did have family there, so I had 411 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: a support system. UM. But I think what you learned 412 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: at an HBCU, specifically what I learned at Clark Atlanta University. 413 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: You have hustle, grind and grit. UM. You know how 414 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: to make things happen. You know how to make away 415 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: when there isn't a way, when normal people don't see it. 416 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: Way you put things together. You know how to make 417 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: the connections. UM. You build a community where you are 418 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: UM and you find mentors. UM. That's what you learned 419 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: at an HBCU is specifically what I learned at Clark 420 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: Atlanta University, and it's what helped me be successful in 421 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: New York. You know when I am, and you know, 422 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: we had their racial awakening, especially with the George Floyd's tragedy, tragedy, tragedy, 423 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, HBCUs started receiving these 424 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: corporate donations led by Mackenzie Scott, we believe delivered like 425 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: four point one billion dollars and donations to various hbc 426 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: s across this country. But you know what annoyed me, 427 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: Nobody did a story as to why these HBCUs will 428 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: get these donations. And when I say that, it's about 429 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: the academics that HBCUs keeps pushing out to. You know, 430 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: percent of the Black teachers in public schools are from HBCUs. 431 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: You know seven percent of the lawyers are for black 432 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: from hbc US. These are numbers, are just a fact, 433 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: and a lot of these numbers can be found on 434 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: the website if you want to back them up, you 435 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: want to learn more about the value hbc US. I 436 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: guess I talked about it a lot, and I didn't 437 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: graduate from one. I enrolled as my freshman year in 438 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 1: Southern University and baton Rouge and uh and and just 439 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: got homesick and went back. It was got a job 440 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: as a forklift driver. My aspirations weren't very high by 441 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: myself within college. Then when you got a job as 442 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: a forklift driver, Okay, where was this going for you? 443 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: It was about leadership, is about mentorship. And I think 444 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: that that's what I hear the most when I talk 445 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: to people who graduate or go to HBCUs is the 446 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: family environment, the mentorship. Talk about that absolutely. Um. I 447 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: think when you're at an HBCU, it's not just reaching up, 448 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: you're reaching back, um. So each one pulls one up. Um. 449 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: And you also have your class that you come in 450 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: with and you're supporting one another, so that once you 451 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: start to go out into the workforce globally and compete, 452 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: you have a sisterhood or a brotherhood from that hbc U. 453 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: I mean, of course we're both in Greek organizations, so 454 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: naturally we have that bond. But it goes even beyond that. 455 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: And you think about bringing don't do me like that. 456 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm rocking in the chair walking into chail. Well. The 457 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: fun thing about the relationships, that's what we're talking about. It. 458 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: One of join us on this conversation is four zero 459 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: four eight zero five five is four zero four eight 460 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: A zero five, Um, when you had to make a 461 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: college decision, Like I told you, I went to Southern 462 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: and enrolled, was in freshman orientation, and then I bailed out, 463 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: went back to my hometown in Houston, Texas. Got me 464 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: a job as a you know, a forklif driver, and 465 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: I probably was a state of forklif driver, but I 466 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: didn't really I really wasn't that talented because I dropped 467 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: a box on the guy's hand and broke his hand, 468 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: and guy called me and said this is not for you. 469 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: He fired me. So that ended my career as a 470 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: forklif driver. So I stumbled around and eventually made it 471 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: back into college that fall, and then like seven years later, 472 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: eventually graduated with a degree in mathematics and minded sociology. 473 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: As I stated earlier, but you you seem like you 474 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: knew what you wanted to do. Is that true? I'm 475 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: just looking at a person who was just I'm just 476 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: looking you use confidence, you know, you success, you a 477 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: sense of balance. What were you like as a as 478 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: a seventeen eight year old person trying to make a 479 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: decision about her life. Oh great question, um, seventeen eighteen 480 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: high school senior. Um, I knew I was going to college. 481 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: It was just embedded in me. My family said, you 482 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: are going what I wanted to do. I didn't know necessarily, 483 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: but I knew what I liked and I liked math. 484 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: I like numbers, So finance was that UM very limited. 485 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: I didn't do a lot of reading in high school, 486 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: so I didn't have exposure to a lot of different careers. UM. 487 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: Finished my undergraduate experience at Georgia State University. Worked all 488 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: over the place. I was at an insurance company and 489 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: to your point, just a bank and just trying to 490 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: find my way. And I had a friend that was 491 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: in business school and she introduced me to brand marketing 492 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: right and I'm a natural storyteller. That's one of my passions, 493 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: writing telling stories. So then I started writing brand stories UM. 494 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: And that's where I was really passionate UM getting consumers 495 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: to fall in love with my brands, the brands that 496 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: I was managing, the brands that I was promoting, all 497 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: the brands that I was developing. UM. So once I 498 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: got to business school, I found my niche. I was 499 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: extremely excited and you know, thrilled to wake up and 500 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: do what I was doing. Where I didn't have that 501 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: feeling in undergrad, I was like partying. I had a 502 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: really good time in the undergrad but I wasn't focused. 503 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: Um So I needed that time to find myself in 504 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: to experience the things that I didn't want to do, 505 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: so that when I landed where I was supposed to be, 506 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: it felt natural and was very organic. Why did the 507 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: sorority play a role in your life? Oh? Wow? I 508 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: had so many wonderful big sisters through the process, not 509 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: just pledging when you say big sisters, but people who 510 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: became family and guided me, exposed, um mentored me to 511 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: your point and then that give back. You're doing the 512 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: community service and you're learning more about yourself, how much 513 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: you have to give, and learning to stretch yourself. Um. So, yeah, 514 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: that's always been a phenomenal experience being part of the 515 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: Alpha cupea Health Authority Incorporated and throw our little memory there. 516 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: That was a good party and moment back in the day. 517 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying now with the third Good 518 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: Marshall College Fund, I I'm I'm listening to the radio show. 519 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: I'm a parent or influence or a coach or a teacher. 520 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: How do we go through the process? Can you walking 521 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: through some very simple states, because we talk about is 522 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: available on the website TMCF dot org, right, and that's 523 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: TMCF dot org. But you go there, it's a lot 524 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: going on there about you got the home, you got 525 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: the scholarships, you've got the students. I can see it 526 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: right now, that little navigation right at the top. How 527 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: do I walk through the valley of confusion so I 528 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: can successfully get my my daughter or my son, or 529 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: my of my somebody mentoring in this direction of being 530 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: able to get these benefits. And do you have to 531 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: be a super student. That's a very good question. So 532 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: on average your g p A should be a three 533 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: point oh um. But you need to be ready to 534 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: compete on paper. You know, have an essay that you've 535 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: vetted that's rich with information that sells you, that pitches 536 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: you the best of you and your intentions and ambitions. Well, 537 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: it was it was a funny part about miss Horton, 538 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: who to c She was saying that a lot of 539 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: applications people kind of like duct tape your copy the 540 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: copy of the paragative the essay that they had on 541 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: another and bringing over there, not putting any effort into it. 542 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: You laugh, because obviously that's the truth, just duct taping 543 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: scholars of application to the next You change one line 544 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: or two lines, and you say, I think that this 545 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: will work, um, but not necessarily. So you need to 546 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: put thought in it. You need to put energy. You 547 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: need to make sure that you're positioning yourself for the 548 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: wind because they're very competitive. As I said, we had 549 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: ten thousand uh st to apply. So so you're sitting 550 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: up there trying to determine your life and you just 551 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: duct taping the essay on top of something else, thinking 552 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: that's how you go because you do it now, it's 553 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: gonna happen later on when you trying to move forward 554 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: in your life. That's what it's about. Effort and about 555 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: making sure that the effort leads off into something more successful. 556 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: Or another common mistake you wait until the night before 557 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 1: and then you look at the components of the application 558 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: and you need to references, and it's the night before, right. 559 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: The application isn't complete without those references. So let's back up. 560 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: So we're going to the website. What do I click? First? Oh, 561 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: my scholarships, Chalars, you're looking for scholarships. Click scholarships.

I look like 564 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: I got it going on. But I get on this website, 565 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: to the phone, my phone. People keep telling me why 566 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: I phone and said, Hey, don't worry, I'm going buy 567 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: a new flip phone. I'm about this. I'm trying to 568 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: step back fancy. That's all I'm trying to see with 569 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: your career. And you went to Clark Atlanta University. I'm 570 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: over here just trying to make it happen for myself. 571 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: So you said on a lot of councils, you know 572 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: that you sat on the Girls Incorporate a Great Atlanta 573 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: board where you know, he committed the development of strong, 574 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: bold and small girls and underserved communities. I have a daughter, 575 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: and uh, and so that absolutely better believe it. You 576 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: better believe she's a she's learning taypewondo down the Orange 577 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: Belt and so but young girls, you know, uh, it's 578 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: been a major shift, you know. And and I say 579 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: this because when I when I grew up under B. E. T. 580 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: You know B E T and all the girls with 581 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: shaking it and shaking it and and then all of 582 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: a sudden we see now where we see the pro 583 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: thought process of being able to deliver an opportunity for 584 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: Black women to see more than themselves in their physicality. 585 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: And that's what you represent. You represent the growth of 586 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: a person who can win big at another level because 587 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: you've shown that education not on education at an HBCU, 588 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: but education in life allows you to be more than 589 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: what people to expect you you from a physical role. 590 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: Talk about that. Thank you. I love it because a 591 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: lot of people think that HBCUs UM students from HBCUs 592 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: can't compete, and that's the question, like are you competitive? Absolutely? Again, 593 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: you know that it's not just who you know. You 594 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: know that, it's what you know.

What do you recommend for people to 708 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: do when you when you, when you look at the 709 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: world that you control, you know you you you are, 710 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: like said, I first met you when the Hennessee Fellows 711 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,959 Speaker 1: with Steve kind of met you indvertently, Like I said, 712 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: our lives have been really interesting because I kind of 713 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 1: passed you in the hallway at Colgate with Steve Harvey, 714 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: and then I represented Steven A. Smith. I kind of 715 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: talked to you when he was doing a speaking engagement, 716 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: and now I'm interviewing the interviewing you're on the show 717 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 1: about the third and Marshall College. So but the thing 718 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 1: I love about when I was listening to Miss Horton talking, 719 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: went to say them the wrap around services when you 720 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: go scholarship, internship job, how talk to me? That sounds 721 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: so simple, but I know it took a lot of 722 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: work to be able to put a program like that 723 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: in place and also create the business relationships to be 724 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,439 Speaker 1: able to have it as as as a campaign, as 725 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: a system in place that you can trust and you 726 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: can say it in public because it's true. Absolutely. The 727 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: interesting thing is we have a lot of those programs 728 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: um Apple. You have Apple scholars Um where our students 729 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: are getting scholarship dollars, internship opportunities, and full placement opportunities. UM. 730 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: As you mentioned, I managed the Hennessey Fellows program and 731 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: that was for graduate students. So we're looking at targeting 732 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: high school students, junior seniors to help you get into college, 733 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: while you're in college, to help you get through college, 734 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: for undergrad students, and then even in graduate school. We 735 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: have programs where there was an opportunity that the Hennessee 736 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: team saw to unlock the C suite. There wasn't a 737 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: lot of diversity at the C suite level. So let's 738 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: train ten gifted talented students c suite. What is that CEO, 739 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: c m O, CFO see because you know you hear 740 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: that long now, I could have said what was trying? 741 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,760 Speaker 1: I do know that, but they just thrown out an interview. 742 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: It just thrown out in print, but it never My 743 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 1: whole thing is that there's so much information as being, 744 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,240 Speaker 1: especially within the technology that we have digital apps and everything, 745 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: and that sweets you know, first of all, the glass ceiling. Okay, 746 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: that's that was the original term, you know, breaking the 747 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: glass ceiling. Now the term is c suite, unlocking the 748 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: c And so in order to do that, you have 749 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 1: to have relationships. That is what a lot of people 750 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: don't understand. I am only on this radio show because 751 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: of relationships that I've met and having and created over 752 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: the years. In other words, let's let's put to this perspective. Okay, 753 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: you didn't know me at Cold Gate. What if I 754 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 1: went there and you heard that Steve Harvey was a 755 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: jerk and a guy with him was a double jerk, 756 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: you know, then that would that would that would permeate 757 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: to across the hallways of Cold Gate. Was working with 758 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: a black agency at agency called Uni World. It had 759 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: permeated back to them and that relationship would have been destroyed. 760 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: But because we didn't do that, we were positive, were 761 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: proactive and understand the value relationship. It allows us to 762 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: carry a stronger reputation and a lot of people to 763 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: understand Our reputation can be made and broken by what 764 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: you say and do around people talk about that you 765 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: were building your brand. You established a value for who 766 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: you are, what you had to contribute, and then it 767 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: became legacy. People knew the value attached to the name. 768 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: They knew what they were getting, the type of product, 769 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: the type of service. Um, you built a brand for yourself. Now, 770 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: when you talk about brands, I remember because because you're 771 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 1: kind of coming into my little world here, because I 772 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: didn't go into marketing. I studied that IBM. I did 773 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: my undergraduate two an a half years. Would I be 774 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: m two an alf years as a full time employee? 775 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: There isn't math, but I always understood. But I saw 776 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: Steve Harvy when I started managing him in two thousand, 777 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: there was a philosophy in my head. Why can't I 778 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: treat him like a business? Why can I treat him 779 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: like the company? Why can I have the same standards 780 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 1: for him that I be in would have? Right? And 781 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: so that's when the whole process of being a brand 782 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: kind of kind of transferred for me from a corporate 783 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: structure to an individual. I remember when I was I 784 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: got honored as a like a manager of the Hall 785 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: of Fame, and I remember William Shatner was I've never 786 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 1: met his manager was being honored at the same time. 787 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: He said, he said, he said, they got Rushan McDonald 788 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,720 Speaker 1: changed the game, you know, because he said he figured 789 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: it out. He he kind of figured it out for 790 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: us all that that an individual can actually have the 791 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: same values that a company. And that's where the word 792 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: brand comes into play now because of the fact that 793 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: you should have the same standards of excellence that the 794 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: corporation has, which means that you should have to be 795 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 1: responsible for your product and guess what your product is 796 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: you And that's why it's really really important that we 797 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: hear all these things and we went in a big way. 798 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: It isn't that correct, It is And it's positioning yourself. 799 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. How do you position yourself? 800 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: What do you want people to think about? Associated? Associate 801 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: with few because that's what's going to allow you to 802 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 1: extend your brand. That's what's going to take Steve Harvey 803 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: from stand up to sitcom to radio show to family 804 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: feud host. Right, yes, yes, and I know that for 805 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: a fact. And then closing, my friend Dana Brown, we're 806 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 1: gonna be there Saturday.

Correct, absolutely, absolutely, Now wait a minute, resign. 932 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 1: You just told me you went to the same high 933 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 1: school as lou Dumbar. No college, college, so don't me 934 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: in high school? Ain't that over college? University of Houston, 935 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,400 Speaker 1: University College. I went to see you. I watched Louis Dumbar. 936 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: He was playing in college when I was watching him. 937 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 1: Is a legend six knight and a half. He was 938 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: Magic Johnson before Magic Johnson. See that's right, that's how 939 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 1: that's how cold he was.

The thing that makes a glowtalter. So 944 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:20,959 Speaker 1: special is they bring this incredible skill and style of basketball, 945 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: but they want you to laugh and have a good time. 946 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,319 Speaker 1: But they've been doing it for decades. But you know something, 947 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: you're you're representing something that's even special. The reason I 948 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,000 Speaker 1: say that is that, uh, you know your your graduate 949 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: of Clark Atlanta University. That had Dana Brown on earlier 950 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: the first half of the show. She's a graduate of 951 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 1: Clark Atlanta University's HPCU is a very powerful academic institution. 952 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: And when I had you on my show earlier, we 953 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 1: talked about that, and I like to work before were 954 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,799 Speaker 1: going to further interview, I want you to share your 955 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: experience and why hbc has played such an important role 956 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 1: in your success as a as a person who who's 957 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 1: rising into the c C suite territory. Yes, forever, I 958 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 1: love Clark Atlanta University from some of my very best 959 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 1: days were on that campus. And I can't wait to 960 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:18,399 Speaker 1: get back there Saturday for the CCU tour. Um. Well, 961 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 1: you know the thing about it is talk about what 962 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: you were saying, sunny, Um, I can't wait to get 963 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: back there for the HBCU College Day on Saturday. But 964 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:32,400 Speaker 1: my time at Clark Atlanta. I was challenged, I was inspired, 965 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 1: I was um really truly lived out sort of the 966 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: motto of find a way of make one that just 967 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:46,240 Speaker 1: really became ingrained in me. In terms of business professionally, Um, 968 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,879 Speaker 1: I've met so many people of color from so many 969 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 1: different walks of life and built so many relationships that 970 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,640 Speaker 1: continue to drive me both professionally and personally today. Now 971 00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 1: we're not talking about being a female in a black 972 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 1: woman in this position. I is it too much being 973 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 1: made of that? Or it still is a path that 974 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 1: needs to be recognized as being unique. And the more 975 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,040 Speaker 1: doors need to be open, Absolutely, more doors need to 976 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 1: be open. I hear more now, um than ever, people 977 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 1: saying to me that they're inspired because they see people 978 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: that look like them, they see women that look like them. 979 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 1: And leadership and now that now there are a couple 980 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,360 Speaker 1: of things that are happening with you in the In 981 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 1: the Globetrotters, you know, it talks about black excellence on 982 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: off the court, black excellence in the boardroom. And then 983 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,319 Speaker 1: it turns out to be what the success? Because I 984 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:43,840 Speaker 1: was asking Dana the same question about success. What is success? 985 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: Because you not only this is not your first stop 986 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 1: as a person who's done marketing and Brandon, You've done 987 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: theme parks, You've done other levels of Like I said, 988 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 1: transitioning to this role of an iconic brand because it 989 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 1: us come with a little fear, doesn't it? Sunday? Because 990 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 1: of the fact that it is laid out there. You've 991 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: seen it. You people can tell you the thing something 992 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,800 Speaker 1: like I tried to sing it. You know those red strips, 993 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 1: those pants that balld is read, you know you the 994 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 1: currly nails sliding up the for the metal loock linnen 995 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 1: hook shot. You know all that's coming in there to you? 996 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 1: How do you not stay? How do you not how 997 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 1: do you stay calm? Because you're in a calm on 998 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 1: this call now and you're the you. You made decision, 999 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 1: you shifted, you rebranded it. What what what made you 1000 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,839 Speaker 1: so bold? What made you the confidence to say this 1001 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 1: is fantastic, but it needs a little push? Mm hmm. 1002 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: I've been blessed with a gift, and I think in 1003 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,839 Speaker 1: my career I've had opportunities and I believe that that 1004 00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,359 Speaker 1: door is crash, you gotta bust it open. And I 1005 00:55:54,400 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 1: think fear um can be powerful um and motivating just 1006 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: if you kind of trust and belief and one who 1007 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 1: you are. So I was kind of thinking about like 1008 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,720 Speaker 1: what might I share, you know, if whoever is listening. 1009 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:17,399 Speaker 1: And for me, that fear is motivating because I want 1010 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 1: to make an imprint. I want to make a difference. 1011 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm only as good as the people around me. For 1012 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 1: my team, I want to see people would develop and 1013 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,479 Speaker 1: grow to the things that they're passionate about being able 1014 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 1: to do it. I want to see families be able 1015 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: to spend special time together and be able to have 1016 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,280 Speaker 1: memories that will we had a pass on and remember 1017 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,600 Speaker 1: for generations and where people can just take a break 1018 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 1: from all of the stresses and the things that you 1019 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 1: deal with on a day to day basis and just laugh. 1020 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: That's an honor and a privilege. And I recognize that 1021 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: and try to make the most of every moment. But 1022 00:56:55,680 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 1: I'd be scared Rushan. You know something I tell people 1023 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,759 Speaker 1: that I laugh because fear I wake up. You know, 1024 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 1: I never know what happens when I walk out of 1025 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 1: the door. I'm confident. And then when you're confident, hopefully 1026 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,800 Speaker 1: that pushes you past the fear. And then I always 1027 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 1: talk about people allow fear to stop them from making 1028 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 1: job changes, stand in relationships too long, or and that's 1029 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 1: that's a big deal because of the fact that the 1030 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,919 Speaker 1: unknown is tied to fear, and if you don't walk 1031 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 1: through the unknown. That's why when I read your bio 1032 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:34,960 Speaker 1: and even when I talk to you now, I so 1033 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 1: admire you because of the fact that when people don't 1034 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 1: understand when you can take on iconic brands like the 1035 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: Hall and Global Trotters where you know, it's it's it's 1036 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: like it's like it's like it's like going in there 1037 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: in Kentucky Fried Chicken trying to change your chicken recipe. 1038 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 1: You know, people, she's talking about messing with the chickens. 1039 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 1: What's wrong with the chicken recipe? Well, we have to 1040 00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: change the chicken recie. We won't mess with the fries. Okay, 1041 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: that's all she's doing. The Hall of Girl, she's just 1042 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 1: messing with the fries, the fries of the Hall of Globe, 1043 00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 1: trying to brain And so when she messing with the 1044 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,800 Speaker 1: fried that means she has to she's marketing and Brandon 1045 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 1: and and she's reimaging the tours and things like that. 1046 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: And let's talk about that whole reimaging because people while 1047 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 1: and there they are. They are jumped in conclusions like 1048 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 1: you know the ball is gonna be white, you know, 1049 00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 1: and then you know all those different things. But you're 1050 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 1: not changing anything. We'll know you have changing the thing. 1051 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 1: You just reimaged some things and then looked at it 1052 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 1: from a different perspective coming out of the COVID situation 1053 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 1: and going back into live audiences. Correct. That is absolutely right. 1054 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: And something that you said, really, um, reminded me of 1055 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:44,439 Speaker 1: something brushining one of my kind of hashtags. I talked 1056 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 1: in hashtags often, and one of them is being trusting 1057 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: it open and for the globe totters, I've kind of 1058 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 1: stepped in this role of being trusting to the path 1059 00:58:56,360 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 1: that's being set before me and being open to um 1060 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 1: what is intended for this brand. So these players, Um, 1061 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 1: you're right, they're trusting me two provide them with a 1062 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: pathway to touch and reach people. Right, they give so 1063 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: much of themselves. I mean they're touring and they're playing games, 1064 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: two hundred plus games a year and then they sign 1065 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 1: every autograph. Now, they spend the box, they work on 1066 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 1: their skills. So I'm being trusted to allow them to 1067 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: touch lives and that's really what this reimagination is about, 1068 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,640 Speaker 1: of ensuring that they continue to shape youth and young 1069 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 1: people and inspire others for generations to come.
