Speaker 1: On the Black Effect Podcast.
Speaker 3: Network network is your girl? Tenslin figure out? Checking in quickly.
Speaker 3: I wanted to do some commentary on Senator Bernie Sanders
Speaker 3: town hall that he just did on CNN and wanted
Speaker 3: to give some feedback. Thank you those who are joining
Speaker 3: me on the Black Effect Podcast Network on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your support.
Speaker 3: Make sure you subscribe not just to the podcast, but
Speaker 3: also subscribe to the straight Shot No Chaser YouTube channel
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: Want to make sure that.
Speaker 3: We're hitting you with the visual as well as the audio.
Speaker 3: This won't be long because I don't have much to say. Guys,
Speaker 3: just want to be honest with you. I as you know,
Speaker 3: I'm pretty hard on Bernard Sanders. I'm hard on him
Speaker 3: because actually working on his campaign in twenty fifteen as
Speaker 3: the National Racial Justice Director, I had an inside view
Speaker 3: and you know, knew what went on in the campaign,
Speaker 3: what could have been better, and a lot of things
Speaker 3: were done right. So my opinion, I just want to
Speaker 3: lay it out there. It is somewhat biased based upon
Speaker 3: my view and what I saw, I can't act like
Speaker 3: I don't know what I know.
Speaker 1: But moving past that.
Speaker 3: I will give credit where it is due because I
Speaker 3: want to make sure that I'm being objective and not
Speaker 3: being completely biased. And I will say that at least
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders is saying something. At least he's saying something,
Speaker 3: and you know, it's kind of like, you know, the
Speaker 3: bar is so low with the leadership unfortunately, that just
Speaker 3: saying something comes home is something. It's kind of like
Speaker 3: when they say, you know, should you be happy in
Speaker 3: your marriage at home? Should you expect much? Well, no,
Speaker 3: just be glad he came home. You know, the standard
Speaker 3: is just I guess, come home. You know, no, no,
Speaker 3: no happiness, no expectations, no uh, you know, anything outside
Speaker 3: of just showing up and existing. And that's kind of
Speaker 3: you know how I would classify this because you don't
Speaker 3: have a lot of Democrats who are speaking up, with
Speaker 3: the exception of Jasmine Crockett.
Speaker 1: I know now she's getting trending a lot.
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of folks are big fans of hers,
Speaker 3: But outside of that, you don't really see anybody.
Speaker 1: Saying anything at all.
Speaker 3: I know that Bernie Sanders and AOC have they have
Speaker 3: been on a tour, so they have been certainly you know,
Speaker 3: having conversation and having tours and rallies, which I support, meaning,
Speaker 3: you know, make sure you're getting out with the people,
Speaker 3: which is one reason why I did a town hall
Speaker 3: two weeks ago or last week.
Speaker 1: It seems like.
Speaker 3: Everything's going so fast in Atlanta, So I agree with that.
Speaker 3: So at least he's doing that. At least he did
Speaker 3: the town hall. But I'm just gonna be honest, it
Speaker 3: just was uninspiring. It wasn't And I'm just saying this
Speaker 3: from a movement standpoint, watching how he was really able
Speaker 3: to shift, you know, organizers and people getting excited and
Speaker 3: you know, people want to be a part of the process.
Speaker 3: I saw that in twenty fifteen, and that's not what
Speaker 3: they gave tonight.
Speaker 1: That's just not what they gave tonight. Uh.
Speaker 3: And maybe people are tired, guys. Maybe people are tired.
Speaker 3: They've had enough. They don't feel inspired anymore. You know,
Speaker 3: maybe they're like.
Speaker 1: Whatever, Bernie Sanders, you keep talking about the same thing
Speaker 1: over and over. You didn't you know.
Speaker 3: You didn't win the first time, the second time you
Speaker 3: didn't win. They felt like he you know, bowed down
Speaker 3: to Joe Biden, it just kind of gave up and became.
Speaker 1: What they did not want him to be.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if it's more that well, I
Speaker 3: think it's a little bit of all of it, guys,
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, it's a little bit of that.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of where we are right now.
Speaker 3: People feeling defeated, that's across the board. I got an
Speaker 3: award on last week and the room was, you know,
Speaker 3: filled with elders. And although I was very appreciative, appreciative
Speaker 3: of the award and grateful, people really really did feel like,
Speaker 3: you know, that you like you were tugging to to
Speaker 3: get people to be engaged and involved. So I think
Speaker 3: people are tired and they feel defeated, and that's just
Speaker 3: kind of what that felt. No real momentum, you know,
Speaker 3: And it wasn't a rally, So I'm not gonna say
Speaker 3: did I expect the same energy as a rally, but
Speaker 3: it just certainly to me, wasn't a call for anybody
Speaker 3: to do anything except you need to get involved, you know,
Speaker 3: and be a part of the process.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what does that really mean?
Speaker 3: You know, what what do you what does that really mean?
Speaker 3: To people, how does all they play out? And I'm
Speaker 3: not saying this as just somebody criticizing. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: myself to make sure that I am giving as much
Speaker 3: feedback as possible on what we need to do right
Speaker 3: now this moment. For those who've been following me, I've
Speaker 3: been pushing out three tips, save, stack and secure, and
Speaker 3: I've been putting out tips under each one of those
Speaker 3: and what you can do in this moment realistic. I
Speaker 3: know everybody on the internet's saying buy the dip and
Speaker 3: get stocks and all of this, but regular, everyday, average
Speaker 3: working folks, thirty I think it's thirty three percent of
Speaker 3: Americans don't have enough for a four hundred dollars emergency.
Speaker 3: So to be talking everybody about buy the dip and
Speaker 3: get the stock and well, what money? What are y'all
Speaker 3: talking about? So I've been trying to give some realistic
Speaker 3: terms on how to survive and what's about to happen.
Speaker 3: I know everybody's saying it's not a big deal, don't
Speaker 3: worry about it on panic, but I'm real big and
Speaker 3: preparing if it doesn't. If everything goes well, fined, we
Speaker 3: don't have a problem. But it's something that if something
Speaker 3: does happen and the prices go up to a point
Speaker 3: where you can't afford it, I hope you do implore
Speaker 3: some of those tips that I've been giving you guys.
Speaker 3: Second thing I'm doing it's like I've always done pushed
Speaker 3: the line training. I've normally done that in person. Now
Speaker 3: I'm doing that online because right now we just need
Speaker 3: it more than ever and I can't take ninety days
Speaker 3: to go market and go to a town and you know,
Speaker 3: make sure that the room is you know, people got enough
Speaker 3: people in the room and and feed folks, and you know,
Speaker 3: make sure that all of the costs that go into
Speaker 3: putting on the training is very expensive. And now it
Speaker 3: really is a sense of urgency of something that we
Speaker 3: need right now.
Speaker 1: So it does start online.
Speaker 3: June fourteenth would be the first class you can set up.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited about it. Make sure you ad to
Speaker 3: tilimfigure dot com. You should see that website up. I'm
Speaker 3: just waiting on them to get it together. Teslim figure
Speaker 3: dot com is up now, but the training website will
Speaker 3: be up tomorrow and I'm very very excited about that
Speaker 3: at the very latest Saturday morning. Just waiting on Gold
Speaker 3: daddy to you know, take twenty four to forty eight
Speaker 3: hours for them to get everything back up. But the
Speaker 3: course is available. You can sign up. It's fifty dollars.
Speaker 3: It's two hours interactive with me. So it's certainly not
Speaker 3: one hundred, two hundred dollars three hundred dollar course. It's
Speaker 3: five courses. You can take one and be done with it.
Speaker 3: Take all five at your you know whatever works. It
Speaker 3: is interactive. It is you know, with me in the
Speaker 3: classroom and we're going through everything you need to know
Speaker 3: to either if you want to run for office, if
Speaker 3: you want to work on a campaign, or if you
Speaker 3: want to be an activist or an organizer. Each each
Speaker 3: class addresses the tools that you need for all three,
Speaker 3: so you will get everything you need for all three
Speaker 3: and you get two hours at least. I'm sure I'll
Speaker 3: probably go over on some of those, but two hours
Speaker 3: at least, plus content materials, all the things you need
Speaker 3: in the training software to make sure you.
Speaker 1: Have all the stuff you need for the course.
Speaker 3: So I'm very excited for that, and by June fourteenth,
Speaker 3: you'll be I think I have three or four pieces
Speaker 3: in there now for the course, but I'm gonna continue
Speaker 3: to keep building on that as well, so you're gonna
Speaker 3: get plenty of information. And I'm very, very very excited.
Speaker 3: I have a master's and adult education. I say that, guys,
Speaker 3: not from bragging standpoint, but to let you know I
Speaker 3: really do know how to put together the courses in curriculum.
Speaker 1: But I'm not just winging it and just make it
Speaker 1: up as I go.
Speaker 3: So I hope to see you guys in that course,
Speaker 3: and so I guess that's what I'm looking forward for
Speaker 3: them to do, to provide more resources. But you know, hey,
Speaker 3: if they're not gonna do it, that's a push. Lina
Speaker 3: is all about. One of the first modules we have
Speaker 3: is it's not about we, It's about me. Meaning I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna sit up and wait on democrats to do it,
Speaker 3: wait on republic do it, wait on activists to do it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it myself. I know I can't touch everybody,
Speaker 3: but you know we can get more than a few
Speaker 3: in that can make a difference. So that's what I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do. I hope you guys get involved. If you
Speaker 3: don't want to take the course, stay stay connected with
Speaker 3: the podcast, make sure you download that. Also doing a
Speaker 3: live show every Sunday at seven pm Eastern on YouTube
Speaker 3: that you can come in, raise your hand, ask questions.
Speaker 3: I'll bring you up on the stage and we'll have
Speaker 3: a live show as well. So I'm trying to figure
Speaker 3: out every single way to get to you, to tap
Speaker 3: into you, to allow you to have space and time
Speaker 3: and questions and do all I can do. I hope
Speaker 3: you guys appreciate it because it is not easy and
Speaker 3: it does take a lot of work. With that said,
Speaker 3: I just wanted to do this quick update on Bernie Sanders,
Speaker 3: which is basically nothing. I did appreciate him asking the
Speaker 3: question that the lay he asked about race, and he
Speaker 3: did say it was important that we keep, you know,
Speaker 3: race in the history books. That's one of my challenges
Speaker 3: I always have with Bernie Sanders. It's an issue that
Speaker 3: he likes to avoid. But the question was asked to
Speaker 3: him and I think he answered it appropriately, so I'll
Speaker 3: give him credit for that. But other than that, guys,
Speaker 3: he talked about the tariffs and how's isolating the world,
Speaker 3: And you know, that's pretty much the conversation that's.
Speaker 1: Happening right now.
Speaker 3: One minute the tariffs own the next minute at their
Speaker 3: palls the next minute is own, the next minute is pauw.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just absolute chaos. We don't know what
Speaker 3: the hell is going on. So we'll just keep riding
Speaker 3: this out together, guys. And as we ride it out, guys,
Speaker 3: please take heed to the things I'm telling you. One,
Speaker 3: save your money, reduce means, you know, try to look
Speaker 3: at Okay, if it's this extra five dollars that I'm
Speaker 3: spending on this app or something like that or whatever,
Speaker 3: you know, can you give that to a nonprofit? Which
Speaker 3: is the third thing on Secure?
Speaker 1: So say.
Speaker 3: Stack, I changed Shack to Stack because y'all was getting
Speaker 3: so caught up on the word shack. But Stack is
Speaker 3: still getting a roommate. If need be combining you know,
Speaker 3: households of family, friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, if you don't
Speaker 3: believe in they get married, whatever, just combining wherever.
Speaker 1: You can also merging your business.
Speaker 3: Looking at that, how can you if you if you
Speaker 3: have a business, is more than likely probably a small business,
Speaker 3: and you need to figure out how can you merge
Speaker 3: that with somebody else? For example, me and my publicist.
Speaker 3: She runs a publicist. I don't get a lot of
Speaker 3: I don't get a lot of pr customers like I
Speaker 3: used to. But maybe you know I can provide media
Speaker 3: relations while she provides a press release. You know, maybe
Speaker 3: I can do a strategic uh uh, you know plan,
Speaker 3: write a strategic plan while she provides something else and
Speaker 3: opted whatever it is. But trying to combine your resources
Speaker 3: to pitch in to pay for advertising marketing. Those are
Speaker 3: good ways so that you're not spending all of the
Speaker 3: marketing money on yourself. And I hope you guys are
Speaker 3: finding this helpful. Third thing is secure. Yes, I do
Speaker 3: talk about securing the gun license. I believe in that
Speaker 3: if you're in a state that you can carry. I
Speaker 3: absolutely believe in two A. I'm sorry guys, because when
Speaker 3: crime goes up, problems go up. So I believe in
Speaker 3: and being secure with that. I also add on to secure,
Speaker 3: meaning you need to secure your nonprofits, your organizations. You
Speaker 3: care about your activists, your organizers, anybody's doing some community
Speaker 3: that include podcasts as well, you know, tapping in, make
Speaker 3: sure you follow, make sure you subscribe, let it play
Speaker 3: in the background. All the things that we need in
Speaker 3: order to keep you know, what we're doing going. You know,
Speaker 3: while you're working on your job and we out here
Speaker 3: fighting to keep everybody's job. Support us as well. You
Speaker 3: know it is greatly appreciated and not even appreciated. Is needed,
Speaker 3: and your nonprofits are definitely gonna need it because they
Speaker 3: have lost a lot of funding. They no longer get
Speaker 3: the funding that they used to get, so they really
Speaker 3: really needed guys. So that extra five dollars or extra
Speaker 3: ten dollars that you may you know, spend on Starbucks
Speaker 3: or something like that, if you can shoot that over,
Speaker 3: you know, to somebody, please do you know, take advantage
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 1: Also, the time I used to say strap mean a strap.
Speaker 3: Up meaning condoms and you know, not having children, and
Speaker 3: I mean that, I still mean that. You know, this
Speaker 3: may not be the time an average kid, you know,
Speaker 3: forty fifty thousand dollars a year, and of course obviously
Speaker 3: want to you're up on time clock and you want
Speaker 3: to go and get your family started. I get that,
Speaker 3: But what I'm asking you is to really consider, you know,
Speaker 3: not no no accident accidental babies.
Speaker 1: Now, if you're planning and you're.
Speaker 3: Saying this is what you want to do, and you
Speaker 3: and your husband or however your situation is, have decided
Speaker 3: to have children, and that's something you know, you've made
Speaker 3: your mind up and you're gonna afford that.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 3: What I'm talking about is, though of you that be
Speaker 3: depending on playing b's you're plan A, and B and
Speaker 3: C should be your birth control so that you don't
Speaker 3: have to go through that because again, whether you are
Speaker 3: pro choice or not having access to those clinics and
Speaker 3: things like that, even for birth control are being reduced.
Speaker 3: So you guys need to make sure that you're taking
Speaker 3: care of that. And women, have the conversation with your daughters,
Speaker 3: you know, not talking to them about it and just
Speaker 3: assuming they know and oh, I don't want to talk
Speaker 3: about it because it's uncomfortable that ain't it. Have the
Speaker 3: conversation because I definitely have the conversation with mine. I
Speaker 3: definitely have the conversation of mine. As much as we
Speaker 3: want them to stay little girls for the rest of
Speaker 3: their life, they don't. You didn't stay a little girl
Speaker 3: for the rest of your life and they not either.
Speaker 3: So I got a daughter going to college and yes,
Speaker 3: we be talking. So those are the things that I'm
Speaker 3: telling you guys to do that can at least help
Speaker 3: you feel good about, you know, some control when everything's
Speaker 3: out of control.
Speaker 1: If you are a protest person.
Speaker 3: If you believe in the boycott, absolutely follow the Target
Speaker 3: Fast mission. They have absolutely been making headway with that.
Speaker 3: Foot traffic is down.
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear people in.
Speaker 3: The common and say, oh, it was always down. The
Speaker 3: old people don't go in at no more, they go
Speaker 3: on lie. You're gonna hear every reason to try to
Speaker 3: discourage you. But the bottom line is, shout out to
Speaker 3: the organizers that started that. That's keeping that going. It
Speaker 3: is actually working. You're actually seeing where the economic dollar
Speaker 3: is making an impact.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's if Target is actually gonna
Speaker 3: change or not, but it is certainly, you know, making
Speaker 3: a difference.
Speaker 1: It is certainly making a difference.
Speaker 3: So I will open up the floor in case anybody
Speaker 3: has any questions for me, just because I just like
Speaker 3: to do that.
Speaker 1: Now that we do have a live.
Speaker 3: Show capacity, I will drop it down in the chat
Speaker 3: if you want to join, certainly can turn your camera off,
Speaker 3: but if you want to join and ask a quick question,
Speaker 3: that's the whole point of.
Speaker 1: Having this live.
Speaker 3: And guys, another thing I want to talk about before
Speaker 3: I get out of here, and I would love to
Speaker 3: have your feedback on that. So we can kind of
Speaker 3: get some engagement and see, you know what your thoughts are.
Speaker 3: I posted a clip I interviewed BT and Ferrari from
Speaker 3: Ball Alert and you know, I had a really good
Speaker 3: time with them.
Speaker 1: And one of the things we talked about was sugar Mamas.
Speaker 3: It came into sugar, but we were actually talking about relationships,
Speaker 3: talking about several different things. And you know how my
Speaker 3: commentary can go. We start on one issue and then
Speaker 3: it turns into something else. But we were talking about,
Speaker 3: you know, men not wanting to date, same old conversation.
Speaker 3: I wanted to date older women and wanted to have
Speaker 3: younger women so they could you know, teach them something
Speaker 3: because we were going by what trick Daddy is said
Speaker 3: on the Ball of Alert show, and you know, and
Speaker 3: I just started talking about how wanting women to stop
Speaker 3: being offended, you know by the negative things that we
Speaker 3: hear on social media all day, every day, getting old,
Speaker 3: they're gonna hit.
Speaker 1: The wall, they're gonna die long. You know, don't this.
Speaker 3: That so many negative things you know that we hear
Speaker 3: about black women. And again this is only on social media,
Speaker 3: it's not in real life. It's not the people hopefully
Speaker 3: you have in your life. They're constantly pushing these negative stereotypes.
Speaker 3: But it is a real thing because we spend a
Speaker 3: lot of time on social media. We're scrolling a lot.
Speaker 1: So it is.
Speaker 3: I would be lying if I say that those things
Speaker 3: don't get into the psyche as we're you know, reading
Speaker 3: it constantly over and over and over, because as you know,
Speaker 3: the more the algorithms, uh, you know, the more you
Speaker 3: click on that stuff, the more stuff, you know, comes
Speaker 3: to your feet. And so I just you know, talked about, hey,
Speaker 3: you know what, women got options too, especially if y'all
Speaker 3: going down to women with the money and down the
Speaker 3: women with the bag, we got some options too, And
Speaker 3: you know, we start talking about the sugar mama thing.
Speaker 3: And then I saw it as an opportunity to change
Speaker 3: the narrative on what a sugar mama is, to give
Speaker 3: people some positive insight on the fact that black women
Speaker 3: have been because he said that the sugar mama is
Speaker 3: a cougar and older woman spinning month Like, no, not necessarily,
Speaker 3: you can be a sugar mam and be young.
Speaker 1: I know that's the traditional.
Speaker 3: Definition, but I wanted to take a moment to switch
Speaker 3: it and to give people a different outlook and so
Speaker 3: I talked about how black women are the sugar mamas
Speaker 3: of our community, like we are the ones that hold
Speaker 3: it down. We're the ones that got it when you don't.
Speaker 3: We're the ones you know, that have stepped in the gap.
Speaker 3: And this was not a gender divide, and I'm so
Speaker 3: glad people picked it up the right way because a
Speaker 3: lot of times guys, when we clip stuff out, they
Speaker 3: don't get it. It goes over their head. I think it
Speaker 3: was a couple of people in the comments like black
Speaker 3: men still make more and this, and I'm like, that's
Speaker 3: not what this is about. This is paying homage to
Speaker 3: the black women who have been the sugar mamas of
Speaker 3: our community. Meaning stepped in, is that Auntie stepped in,
Speaker 3: is that mother stepped in? Is their wife stepped in
Speaker 3: as their friend, stepped in as their girlfriend, and done
Speaker 3: all the things to share our resources because there is
Speaker 3: because bottom line, sugar mama shares her resource, her money
Speaker 3: or whatever it is, she got it, if she has it,
Speaker 3: she'll give it to you. And that's really, ultimately what
Speaker 3: a sugar mama is. And I don't think you getting
Speaker 3: no sweeter than being with a black woman. And the
Speaker 3: stats and the data shows that when you don't have
Speaker 3: at all, we step in and there's a lot that
Speaker 3: you have. This is not saying that men don't have,
Speaker 3: as y'all love saying, well, men make more than women.
Speaker 3: You're supposed to. It's called the patriarchy. You're absolutely supposed to.
Speaker 3: I don't know why y'all love comparing y'all self to women. Men, brothers.
Speaker 3: Compare yourself to men. Compare yourself to what the Chinese
Speaker 3: man make, the spanning man mat, the White man make.
Speaker 3: That's where you're that's supposed to be the benchmark for you,
Speaker 3: not women, not women. Black women are comparing themselves to
Speaker 3: other black women, and the stats show that black women
Speaker 3: that have college degrees make more money than black women
Speaker 3: that don't. There's always this conversation. People jump in, Are
Speaker 3: you saying trade don't make money? We make more money trade?
Speaker 3: What are you saying? Do you look beneath us and
Speaker 3: do you da da da dah. I'm like, no, that's
Speaker 3: not what I'm saying. I know plenty of skills that
Speaker 3: make more. We got that, but also you need to
Speaker 3: also look at those labor skills. At some point, your
Speaker 3: back may give us, some point, your needs may give
Speaker 3: up at some point you may. So it's called balance.
Speaker 3: Having a woman that work at the computer is not
Speaker 3: a bad thing. So let's stop looking for ways to
Speaker 3: try to stop projecting on each other and trying to
Speaker 3: hurt each other and hurt each other's feelings. And I'm
Speaker 3: better than you and this and that. Just so y'all know,
Speaker 3: I married a mechanic, and my grandfather was a mechanic,
Speaker 3: and my other grandfather worked at the post office.
Speaker 1: My stepfather was a doctor.
Speaker 3: Though, so I've had a good view firsthand of different
Speaker 3: types of men, different class of men. So nobody's shitting
Speaker 3: on anybody. What I'm basically saying is we need each other.
Speaker 3: We need each other now more than we ever have
Speaker 3: because the tariffs are coming. So we're not in a
Speaker 3: position to talk about who's this and whose they. But
Speaker 3: what I'm telling you is stop shitting on black women too,
Speaker 3: Stop putting us down. Because we decided to get degrees.
Speaker 3: We try to advance if the most we could in
Speaker 3: our you know, and with our counterparts and our counterparts.
Speaker 3: It showed that on that job, I can't get a
Speaker 3: promotion unless I have a degree, even if it's a
Speaker 3: degree in basket weaven. Every time we try to excel,
Speaker 3: white supremacy puts something in else in front of us
Speaker 3: in order to keep us out.
Speaker 1: That's just how it works.
Speaker 3: So many of us are just trying to get it
Speaker 3: how we live it, and if you want to get
Speaker 3: it another way, cool, but don't talk about our way
Speaker 3: to get it because these black women, even the ones
Speaker 3: you may not like that you got a toxic relationship,
Speaker 3: maybe your mother, your oarch or whatever, but for the
Speaker 3: most part, we've done our part to sustain and to
Speaker 3: still be standing. So show us some love. So check

Speaker 1: Oh, I have no kids no more. What are you
Speaker 1: gonna do?

Speaker 3: because you didn't have the money, or you didn't have
