These beliefs are common across all demographics, from teenagers to CEOs.

    Uplift: She emphasizes the importance of African American and female participation in crypto and blockchain.

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michelle Lilly. A cryptocurrency and blockchain educator and entrepreneur. Here's a summary of the key points discussed: 🎙️ Main Themes and Highlights Michelle Lilly’s Background Entered the cryptocurrency space in 2017. Initially lost money in a scam but used the experience to educate herself. Became the first African-American woman with a master’s degree in blockchain and digital currency from the University of Nicosia. Understanding Cryptocurrency Bitcoin is described as a protocol, not just a currency—used for value storage and transfer. Ethereum is highlighted for its smart contract capabilities and utility. Cryptocurrencies are a hybrid between stock and currency—they have utility like stock and liquidity like currency. Why Bitcoin Has Value Scarcity: Only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist. Deflationary: Bitcoin undergoes a “halving” every four years, reducing the rate of new coins. Decentralization: Not controlled by any central authority, making it secure and transparent. NFTs and the Metaverse NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets, often used for art and music. Artists can sell directly to consumers and earn royalties on resales. The metaverse is explained as a 3D version of the internet (Web 3.0), where users can own digital land and assets. Empowering Underserved Communities Michelle emphasizes the importance of African-American and female participation in crypto and blockchain. Encourages people to educate themselves and not wait for permission to participate in new financial systems. Practical Advice You don’t need a lot of money to start investing in crypto. Understanding the current financial system is just as important as learning about the new one. Consistency, self-awareness, and openness to criticism are key to success. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Uplift: HIs book A Long Time Coming is structured as letters to victims like George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Hadiya Pendleton.

    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Michael Eric Dyson. 📝 Summary of the Interview Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, renowned public intellectual and author of over 20 books, joined Rushion McDonald to discuss his powerful work A Long Time Coming: Reckoning with Race in America. The conversation explored systemic racism, police brutality, cancel culture, and the emotional toll of chronic injustice. Dyson reflected on the impact of smartphone technology in documenting racial violence, the trauma of Black death, and the need for hope-driven activism. He also emphasized the importance of storytelling, accountability, and redemption in the fight for racial justice. 🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Smartphones as Tools for Justice Smartphones have revolutionized racial justice by capturing police brutality and systemic abuse. Dyson calls it a “Gutenberg shift” in how Black communities document truth. Quote: “The smartphone has changed the game… It’s extraordinary.” 2. Emotional Toll of Chronic Injustice Dyson shares the deep emotional pain of revisiting historical and recent Black deaths. Visiting MLK’s room at the Lorraine Motel or watching documentaries evokes intense grief. Quote: “We are terrorized and we’re terrorized again.” 3. Purpose of His Book A Long Time Coming is structured as letters to victims like George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Hadiya Pendleton. Dyson aims to humanize their stories and provide context beyond media soundbites. Quote: “If they could endure the death, the least we could do is grapple with the hurt.” 4. Cancel Culture Critique Dyson critiques cancel culture as a form of modern-day digital lynching. He distinguishes between accountability and eradication. Quote: “Hold them accountable, make them responsible… but allow me a comeback.” 5. Hope vs. Optimism Dyson emphasizes hope as a deeper, more resilient force than optimism. Change requires action, not just prayer or wishful thinking. Quote: “Hope is something you believe in even when you can’t see the evidence.” 6. Detailed Storytelling Dyson meticulously documents the timeline and facts of cases like George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. His research includes transcripts, video analysis, and legal proceedings. Quote: “I did the spade work… I wanted every element to be brought to the fore.” 7. Black-on-Black Violence Contextualized Dyson reframes it as “neighbor-to-neighbor violence,” noting similar patterns in white communities. He highlights the tragedy of Hadiya Pendleton’s death and its broader implications. Quote: “People kill where they live… That’s where the drama is.” 💬 Notable Quotes “We’ve been telling y’all the police act out of hand… now the video proves it.” “I don’t want to turn it into the pornography of Black death.” “Cancel culture is a white supremacist fantasy.” “Let me have a chance to be redeemed, to be restored.” “Change won’t happen because we hope it into existence… we must act.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
