Charlamagne Tha God Speaks About Radio Show Amid DJ Envy’s Possible Legal Drama
"I think The Breakfast Club is bigger than any of us as individuals. I’ve always felt like that."
A lot has happened in a year for iHeart’s “The Breakfast Club.” One-time host Angela Yee left and has her own midday radio show on Power 105, and DJ Envy is caught up in the scandals of his real estate partner, Cesar Pina. Questions have been raised about what direction the show is heading or if there will still be a radio show, especially if Envy gets caught up in any of the legal ramifications of the alleged real estate scam that his partner has supposedly orchestrated. Charlamagne Tha God has commented about that on a recent episode of “Rap Radar.”
Elliot Wilson and Brian “B Dot” Miller spoke to the Black Effect Network’s founder about the situation and what it means for The Breakfast Club in the future. Charlamagne expressed the need to continue with the show, even if he is the last original member standing.
“I think you kind of have to, right? You know what I mean? Because I think The Breakfast Club is bigger than any of us as individuals. I’ve always felt like that.
“My mind… what I always wanted for The Breakfast Club was new talent constantly comes in and is a part of this… is under this umbrella of the club. So whether Angela Yee is there, or I’m there, or Envy’s there, the platform can still continue,” he said to Wilson and Miller.
He went on to say: “I’ve never felt like The Breakfast Club was just a show about three individuals. That’s always where my mind was.”
In October, Entrepreneur reported that DJ Envy’s real estate partner, Pina, was arrested on one count of wire fraud in an alleged investment fraud scheme worth millions of dollars. Although Envy has not been named or accused, his association and promotion of the real estate business have placed him in the crosshairs of the alleged victims. Some of them blamed Envy for his involvement with Pina and said they trusted Envy’s participation in investing with Pina.
Meet Mrs. and Mr. Black Santa Of Erie, Pennsylvania
Because everyone should be represented during the holidays.
The Woodards encourage fun, family, and togetherness this Christmas as Mrs. and Mr. Black Santa.
Alicia and Daren Woodard are the masterminds behind their family enterprise, Woodard Dynasty Entertainment, where they spread joy across Erie, Pennsylvania. The couple takes pride in pushing beyond the traditional white Santa role and providing more than just a lap to sit on. This is a business focused on spreading inclusivity.
“We want our Black Santa to represent our culture by giving the Ma and Pa feel and the auntie and uncle vibes,” said Alicia, a mother of four and step-mother of one, according to Erie Times-News. “Spreading inclusivity and having a similar and familiar face bring cheer is very important to us. We want our services to symbolize family and hope.”
To harness the Christmas spirit, Mrs. and Mr. Black Santa proudly don the red suit with signature familiar looks and unique personalities. They both grew up in Erie and don’t recall seeing a Black Santa. So, they attend various festivals and private parties where children and adults experience an interaction like none other. The Clauses approach families and shower children with hugs, craft activities, treats, balloons, and unlimited pictures.
The matriarch monitors the naughty list and the children’s queue. She also assists with tying shoelaces and ensuring healthy and positive mannerisms. Meanwhile, Mr. Black Santa, described as “silly,” has too much fun engaging in various packages.
Depending on the package details, prices range from $100 to $250 an hour.
Some of the experiences include:
Create and Paint: The Clauses offer a youthful, alcohol-free take on “paint and sip.”
Hot Chocolate with Santa experience: includes crafts like gingerbread men, holiday games and prizes, and peppermint-scented face paint.
Santa Secret Stop: For $25, you can expect a homebound visit from Mrs. and Mr. Black Santa for about 15 minutes. They will give a gift, pose for photos, and pick up letters to Santa. Sometimes, cookies are welcomed.
Private events: At some organization’s private events, the Clauses will pass out gifts provided by the organization.
Though these experiences have a price tag, the Woodards are passionate about giving back to the community in ways they’ve never seen themselves. They’re not just cheering in the holidays but also creating unforgettable fun and lasting memories as The Brown Clowns.
Report Finds 65% Of Black Professionals ‘Cover’ Authentic Selves At Work
Black people are still code-switching in the workplace.
While 60% of employees report masking their identities in the workplace, the incidence of “covering” is higher for Black workers, according to a new report from Deloitte’s DEI Institute.
The institute partnered with the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law to conduct a study titled Uncovering Culture. Within the past 12 months, three-fifths out of 1,269 adult survey respondents engaged in “covering” behaviors. Out of the group, 65% of Black respondents reported doing so. The research confirms a similar percentage in 2013, highlighting the stark reality that workers continue to cover or code-switch at work to avoid negative stereotypes and to be seen as competent and valuable.
“Because covering is, by definition, an attempt to downplay an identity to blend into the mainstream, it is not surprising that survey respondents from non-dominant groups in the workplace generally reported higher rates of covering than those from majority or dominant groups,” the report stated.
Furthermore, all Black LGBTQIA+ workers surveyed reported covering, and Black workers with disabilities reported covering at an extremely high rate of 93% compared to 60% of white workers with disabilities. Nearly 2.5 million working-age Black adults in the United States have a disability, the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey 2021 reported.
For Dr. D’Arcee Neal, a Black, gay, disabled professor of English, it was no easy journey navigating a “high-powered federal position” after he was onboarded as a “super-diversity hire” in 2015.
“Blackness and disability had gotten me the job initially as a “super diversity hire,” which I overheard when they thought no one was listening, but it had also cornered me into an impossible position of silence and discomfort that demanded I do everything possible to keep my supervisors happy, at least initially. Even when situations arose where they were squarely in the wrong, I remained unable to speak,” Neal recalled in The Disability & Philanthropy Forum.
The report outlined behaviors defined into four categories.
Appearance-based: Research supports that Black professionals feel pressure to change aspects of their behavior or appearance to blend into mainstream and corporate cultures.
Affiliation-based: Whether it’s to minimize an accent or to check certain traits at the office door, Black people tend to code-switch, most often to negate common stereotypes.
Advocacy-based: With ongoing fears of discrimination and unconscious bias in the workplace, Black employees also fear defending or promoting the interests of one’s group.
Association-based: A person of color who practices association-based coverage might purposefully distance themselves from colleagues of the same racial or ethnic background.
Among the respondents, the report found that workers who cover at work experienced a negative impact on their well-being, commitment to their organization, and job performance.
According to researcher and author George Paasewe, the need to cover can be burdensome, especially among people of color.
“Code-switching is a tool anyone can use to break the communication barrier and make new connections with people outside of their race, ethnicity, and culture,” Paasewe said, as BE reported.
“Language differences between cultures can serve as a roadblock. In these instances, code-switching has value because it allows one to participate in the larger, more diverse community.”
To address these concerns, Deloitte’s DEI Institute suggested three practical solutions that leaders can implement immediately to help build an “uncovering culture.” They call on organizations to diagnose organizational covering demands, share their stories, and participate in active allyship.
How A Healthy Lifestyle Can Boost Your Job Marketability
With high rates of hypertension and obesity among Black men, the role of fitness in their career climb is an important one.
Originally Published Mar. 13, 2014
Let’s face it: We’re all concerned about our pockets and how to fatten them up through career advancement and promotion but don’t let the countless hours spent gaining more knowledge, hustling to make that next sale, and coming up with the most innovative got to market strategy for a new product negate hours spent focusing on fitness. There is a remarkable degree to which exercise, diet, disease, and career mobility are linked.
Your career and lifetime earnings can take a major hit due to an unhealthy lifestyle. A World Health Organization (WHO) study states that 3.2 million deaths annually can be attributed to a lack of physical activity. To put this number into perspective, this is nearly four times the number of people who die in traffic accidents.
Dr. John Whyte, vice president of health and medical education at Discovery Channel and author of Is This Normal?: The Essential Guide to Middle Age and Beyond provides insight into how your health impacts your pockets and shares tips on balancing career and health.
How does improving health and fitness provide individuals with a better shot at career advancement?
Dr. John Whyte: In this society, biases and stigmas can be hard to escape. When it comes to fitness, it can cut both ways: Just like people can form opinions about the seven-day-a-week gym rat, the same can be said about those who struggle with weight.
All you have to do is turn on the TV to know how popular culture paints a picture of people based on their physical fitness. It sometimes portrays people who are overweight or obese in a way that isn’t flattering or very fair. It’s wrong, and we need to work against it, but it still exists. More importantly, however, we often start to have major career advancements. At the same time, we are at risk of developing health conditions such as heart disease and high cholesterol. By being healthier, you will have fewer sick days and be on your A-game more often.
What role do health or fitness levels play in one’s job marketability?
We all work with people of varying levels of physical fitness, and so, to be clear, I think it’s hard to say that, in the end, your marketability is based on whether or not you lead a healthy lifestyle.
Although we’re told not to judge a book by its cover, in the setting of a job interview, a first impression can make an enormous difference, and we live in a culture that, whatever we think of it, seems to look more favorably upon those who are physically fit. If that affects the opinion of someone looking to hire, it stands to reason it could make a difference when choosing between otherwise qualified candidates.
Are obesity levels in the African American male community having an impact on employment?
We know that obesity levels are rising at an alarming rate in this country, and we also know that the rates are higher among African Americans than any other ethnic or minority group. Furthermore, obesity is directly related to the rise in diabetes, especially in African Americans. With these conditions come problems with mobility, mood, and memory—all important for successful employment.
By not maximizing one’s health, one is minimizing employment opportunities. Now, it is true that we have a significant number of important disparities in healthcare that need to be addressed. We know that there are racial and ethnic differences in the number of people who are overweight and obese, and we also know that their access to medical care, as well as access to healthy foods, must be improved.
Another important factor is sleep. A Harvard School of Public Health study has found that Black workers—particularly Black professionals—are more likely than whites (43% vs. 26%) to experience “short sleep” under seven hours a night), which has been linked with increased risk of occupational injuries, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and premature death. This is important because those interviewing for a job need to present their best foot forward and look refreshed and healthy.
What impact, if any, does regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle have on lifetime earnings?
Although you wouldn’t necessarily think it, some studies seem to show there may be an earnings ‘penalty’ for those who are overweight or that people who are obese make less money as a whole. Again, it’s difficult to make a direct link between physical fitness and earnings potential, but given all of the biases we’ve discussed, I think it’s all the more reason to consider adding a fitness routine to the other items in your weekly planner.

Florida Judge Calls Mass Shooter ‘A Threat To The Community’ Before Ordering Him To Remain Behind Bars
Hillsborough Circuit Judge Robin Fuson ruled that Tyrell Phillips posed a threat to the community, and no release conditions were in place to ensure citizens remained safe.
Hillsborough Circuit Judge Robin Fuson ruled that Tyrell Phillips posed a threat to the community, and no release conditions were in place to ensure citizens remained safe.
“The safest place for him and our community is inside the Hillsborough County Jail,” Fuson said. The shooting happened on Halloween weekend, leaving a minor, later identified as Elijah Wilson, and a 20-year-old dead with 16 others injured. Two groups were seen getting into an altercation shortly before 3:00 a.m. on Oct. 29.
A few weeks later, Phillips was arrested after turning himself in and is facing several felony charges, including possession of a firearm while wearing a mask and carrying a concealed firearm. State Attorney Suzy Lopez agrees with Judge Fuson’s decision, given video evidence shows the teenage victim didn’t use a weapon before dying,and Phillips claimed he shot in self-defense.
“Tyrell Phillips stood on a crowded 7th Avenue in historic Ybor City’s entertainment district and fired at a teenager three times,” Lopez said in a statement. “There are no pretrial conditions a court could impose that would make the community safe from a man who would commit such a senseless murder. He has no regard for human life and remains a danger to the people of Hillsborough County.”
At a prosecutor’s request, Fuson also banned Phillips from contacting anyone affiliated with the groups, described as rivals. Phillips is believed to be friends with several people in one of the groups that a prosecutor called a gang. During the three-hour hearing, Assistant State Attorney Justin Diaz showed a series of rap videos posted by the group on YouTube. Phillips and other people can be seen throughout the videos holding guns and flashing different hand signs. Two people identified in the videos were also seen the night of the shooting, with one of them being shot.
An investigation to identify the other shooters remains open. “Our partners at the Tampa Police Department continue the investigation into the crime and separate shootings that occurred at the same location,” the State Attorney’s Office says. Anyone with more information is eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
Latto, Sha’Carri Richardson, Ice Spice, Druski, And Others Make Forbes 30 Under 30 2024 List
The annual Forbes 30 under 30 list has been released for 2024.
The annual Forbes 30 under 30 list has been released for 2024, and Black changemakers, creatives, founders, and industry leaders are represented among the distinguished 600 selectees. Among the standouts are rappers Latto and Ice Spice, athletes Sha’Carri Richardson and Anthony Edwards, as well as comedian and content creator Druski.
The list comprises the most notable people under 30 across 20 categories, including music, sports, media, Hollywood and entertainment, social impact, finance, and—among the more recently added sections—social media. Latto’s appearance on the list comes on the heels of one of her most successful years yet, with an estimated $12 million in earnings in 2023 alone.
The “Big Energy” rapper joined Lizzo for her Special tour and took home a bevy of brand deals from companies like Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty, Wingstop, Halls, and Pretty Little Thing. The 24-year-old also charges an average of $300,000 for appearances and remains self-managed, Forbes reports.
Ice Spice used TikTok to create a frenzy, which netted her a spot amongst Forbes’ music notables. Following the success of her 2022 hit “Munch (Feelin U),” the NYC rapper quickly became a main fixture for pop collaborations and fashion campaigns for brands like Marc Jacobs and Adidas. The new IT girl also earned a Best New Artist Grammy nomination while finding a home on the Billboard charts with her tracks “Barbie World,” “Princess Diana,” and “Boys A Liar, Pt. 2.”
Sha’Carri Richardson’s presence on the list of most notable athletes comes as no surprise, as she became the fastest woman in the world just a few short years after many wrote her track career off following big losses at major races in 2021. After stepping away from the spotlight, Richardson reemerged in a major way, qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics and becoming the USA’s first women’s 100m world champion since 2017, Olympics.com reports. “I wanted my performance to be all the words I needed to speak myself,” she said in September after her record-breaking win. “It feels amazing, it feels like everything has paid off, and I’m grateful.”
Richardson was joined by Jordan Brand ambassador and Minnesota Timberwolves leader Anthony Edwards on the list of sports standouts and the Washington Wizards’ Kyle Kuzma and Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Though Black creators are responsible for an innumerable amount of social media trends, only three Black creatives made it to Forbes’ list: Taylor Cassidy, Drea Okeke, and comedian Drew ‘Druski’ Desbordes, whose collaborations with everyone from Drake to Jack Harlow earned him a spot amongst top earners in the industry.
15-year-old Saves Toddler From Drowning In Family Pool On Thanksgiving
All heroes don't wear capes!
Madison Atkinson, 15, is being held with high regard for her heroic act of performing CPR on a toddler to save her life after she almost drowned on Thanksgiving.
Atkinson, the JV cheer team captain at her school, learned her CPR skills in a sports medicine class. Video footage obtained by Today showed the incident at the Atkinson’s California family home on Nov. 23. The teen’s relative, three-year-old Maxine, made her way through the backyard and into the pool. Approximately four minutes later, the uncle found the toddler face down, floating in the pool.
“She was pretty much lifeless,” Madison’s mother, Kirsten Atkinson, told Today.
After hearing her uncle scream for help, Madison came to the rescue and began CPR, her mother said. She described Madison as remaining “calm, cool, collected, not panicked” throughout the process. Madison said her focus was on remembering what to do when performing CPR.
“I was just like, let’s get this baby alive — no one else knew CPR,” she said.
“Madison’s just pumping away for a couple of minutes, and finally, Maxine starts to open her eyes and start to breathe,” Kirsten told the outlet. “The dispatcher said, ‘Put her on her side.’ And when we did that, Maxine opened her eyes and starts to literally breathe on her own.”
The first responders praised Madison for her heroic deed.
“You know, she has performed a miracle,” they said.
“We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving in a different way, right? It was about, you know, how precious life is and how things can change in the blink of an eye,” the teen’s mother said as she credited her daughter’s actions for giving the whole family a lot to be thankful for that day. According to the outlet, baby Maxine has fully recovered, and the eye-opening experience has led the entire family to pursue CPR training.
“There’s a strategic alliance and alignment at other universities that are having far greater success in the NIL space, in the athletic space and the university space in general,” TUFF’s Executive Director Andy Carl said. “We are siloed. We are kind of partitioned off. Simply put, we’re just not there, and we have tried, we continue to try to best align ourselves to have that success, but ultimately, the university has made a decision that they are comfortable with how the alignment is.”
Temple’s Athletic Director, Arthur Johnson, joined the school in 2021 with a mission to keep winning. His experience overseeing billion-dollar projects, according to the Philly Tribune, and working at top schools, including Arizona State and North Carolina at Chapel Hill, made him the perfect candidate for success at Temple. The school already had a partnership with a consulting company named ADVANCE NIL; however, when he arrived, he was hesitant about continuing to allow student-athletes to cash in on NIL (name, image, and likeness) deals as he feared it would take them away from what’s important–their education.
Without a proper strategy, the Owls will continue to struggle. The organization’s only donation came from a former student-athlete who was cut from the baseball team in 2013. Requests to alums playing in the NFL were shot down. Carl and Johnson have sat down to discuss improving Temple’s NIL placement, but Johnson doesn’t see finding a solution as a priority. “There isn’t an all hands on deck, everyone pulling together, to say, ‘Hey, these are the expectations of the program, our department, and the university, and this is what is needed,’” Carl said.
“There’s just no clear or concise vision.”
In November 2023, important athletic stakeholders met with the school’s Board of Trustees, without members of Temple Athletics, to break down the importance of NIL deals. Discussions were allegedly productive, and hopefully, things will change. With Johnson’s eye on community, school, and student relations, there is no telling if NIL deals will ever make it on his priority list.
Singer K. Michelle Celebrates Owning Her Masters, ‘I Officially Own Myself And All My Upcoming Music Rights’
R&B singer K. Michelle is doing more than living out her country music dreams. She's also celebrating a major move as owner of her masters.
R&B singer K. Michelle is doing more than living out her country music dreams; she’s also celebrating a major move as owner of her masters. The former Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star revealed that she can now earn money from her songs and talent, AfroTech reports.
“I’m baking sweet potato pies tonight, but first let me play in this camera with my new hair color and celebrate my INDEPENDENCE day,” K. Michelle posted to Instagram. “I officially own MYSELF and all my upcoming music rights. I can now put out music anytime and place I want and OWN it! I look good and feel good…Celebrate every win in your life.”
After parting ways with Atlantic Records in 2019, the singer embarked on a career as an independent artist and decided to go after her lifelong dream of singing country music, something she alleged her label didn’t see as a possibility. “Basically, I was told that going into R&B was the only route or at least the easiest route,” she said, according to PEOPLE. “So, that’s what I did. But there was always this little piece of loneliness and a sadness in me because I couldn’t do what I know I was supposed to do.”
Her dream would come true on Nov. 9, when K. Michelle took the stage at the Country Music Awards alongside Best New Artist winner, Jelly Roll, to perform their take on The Judds’ classic “Love Can Build A Bridge.” The “Can’t Love A Man” singer received a standing ovation and was brought to tears by the moment.
“I’ve prayed and cried to be able to be myself and just sing the songs in my heart. Many of you have witnessed the years of No’s and reasons why I couldn’t sing my song. I never and never will give up or in,” she said in an Instagram post. “That would be like giving up on who God made me. I’ve always said country aint something you can just pick up; it’s a lifestyle, it’s what your born into. To receive a standing ovation on a stage I dreamed of being on by being myself is an unexplainable feeling.”
K. Michelle is preparing to release a country music EP in 2024.
The art of delegation. How to distribute control of your business without losing control of your business.
Originally Published March 10, 2014
When you first launch your company, you must micromanage to some extent—there’s little to no team infrastructure. Since you’re building a company from the ground up, every decision builds and shapes the company’s future as you scale your business. However, there comes a time when micromanaging actually damages your organization. It also makes running and working in your business a lot less fun.Assuming you have the right people on the bus in the first place, real growth comes in realizing when to nitpick and when to simply let go and delegate. I believe a dedicated individual delivers far more value performing in an environment of freedom than when someone is continually looking over her/his shoulder. So, as my company has grown, I’ve had to learn how to be an efficient boss who lets his employees take the reins and, thus, grow personally and professionally. Doing so leads to happier employees and an overall enhanced team performance.
In my opinion, the most effective management style is summed up in the words of Shunryu Suzuki, a Zen Buddhist expert and author of Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind. In his book, Suzuki suggests that the best way to control people is to give them a great deal of space, allow them to mess around, and then just watch them. “To ignore them is not good; that is the worst policy. The second worst is trying to control them. The best one is to watch them, just to watch them, without trying to control them.
Suzuki’s suggestion may seem oversimplified or silly, but I’ve actually found that it’s dead on. If your employees feel like they have the freedom to be themselves and your confidence, all they need to know is that you’re watching them. This, combined with some basic structure, will lead to the best performance.
Here are four strategies we use at my company, HUMAN Healthy Vending, to boost employee productivity without micromanaging:
Create a system to share “crucial results across the company
Employees and managers must be able to share their daily and weekly goals. First, create a way for your employees (managers, too) to share the most important action items they have for the week and have them list, daily, what they will accomplish to achieve those weekly goals. This provides a way for employees to be accountable for their own goals, allows managers to see what their direct reports are doing (and provides adequate feedback and guidance), and provides a way for teams to track progress toward shared goals. The key here is to also go over these goals in a quick huddle every day to ensure that the goals chosen for the day and week are actually the most valuable to each department and to the company as a whole. While there are software programs like Asana that make it easy to share goals, I have found that a shared Google spreadsheet works just as well. Each employee at our company is on the same spreadsheet, though for larger companies it may make sense to break it down by department. At the end of each day, employees color-code each daily goal – a green highlight signifies the task has been completed, and a red highlight signifies the task was not completed.
Start the morning with a huddle
Morning “huddles” have consistently proven to be a great way for companies to energize their team and ensure everyone is set up for success. Broken down by department, each team member has 30 seconds to list his or her No. 1 most important objective of the day, share any big wins, and let others know if he or she needs help or guidance on a specific issue or problem. This way, everyone is on the same page and feels aligned, and potential problems are solved much sooner than they otherwise would be.
Conduct weekly “direct report” meetings
Just like professors have “office hours,” managers should have an ongoing timeframe for employees to speak to them about specific projects. I have a recurring weekly appointment with each of my direct reports to discuss progress on goals and to provide feedback. This helps reduce emails since my staff knows they have a recurring appointment to discuss action items, questions, and problems in person. I always ensure I have an agenda for each meeting a day in advance so we make the best use of our time. Recently, we’ve been using 15Five software to lead these meetings and serve as a kick-off point for our conversation together. Having a set template for each meeting and reviewing last week’s action items is essential.
Have a companywide email policy
It is one of my personal policies that email does not dictate my actions or my schedule. Instead, I prefer to use my time to create rather than react. However, it would not make sense for me to be the only one with this constrained email policy. So, we are all “mindful emailers.” We do not allow internal emails to the entire team before noon each day. This helps us ensure that the most vital hours for productivity (the morning hours) are reserved for crushing it. This is especially useful for a team with a sales staff and ensures that people’s crucial results are handled early in the day rather than at the end.
If you’re running a startup, chances are you have your hands in everything. This is fine and necessary when you’re in the early stage of your business. But you can only scale your growth if you hire and train employees to take over certain aspects of the company so that you can stick to your high-leverage activities. There’s a fine line between being an engaged manager and a micromanager. The above steps will help you discover where it is.
