NEW EPISODE LIVE — and this one is for the culture. 🏡

I brought real estate agent & investor Brian Scaggs to the table to have a real, unfiltered conversation about the state of Black homeownership in America — and y'all, the data is heavy.

Did you know only 14% of Black Gen Zers own homes? Or that Black applicants are denied mortgages at nearly double the rate of white applicants — even at the same income levels?

But here's what I also want you to know — there ARE wins. There ARE solutions. And there are programs RIGHT NOW that can change your trajectory.

In this episode we break down:

📊 The real homeownership numbers (sources linked below)

⚖️ The DEI & Fair Housing rollbacks you need to understand

🏆 The wins — what's working in our communities

💡 5 action steps you can take TODAY

This is the episode you send to your cousin who keeps saying they can't buy. Your friend who got denied. Your mentee who doesn't know where to start. 🙏🏽

Ownership is power. And we are still in this fight. 💪🏽

Robert Smalls was born into slavery — and escaped by stealing a Confederate warship.

He sailed it to freedom with his family aboard, became a U.S. Navy captain, served in

Congress, and purchased the plantation where he was once enslaved. This is one of the

greatest untold stories in American history.

In this interview, Myiesha Majors sits down with ROB EDWARDS — the screenwriter behind

Disney's The Princess and the Frog, Treasure Planet, Marvel's Captain America: Brave New

World, and iconic TV classics including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House, and

In Living Color.

Rob's debut graphic novel DEFIANT: The Story of Robert Smalls is an Amazon bestseller

and a 2026 NAACP Image Award nominee for Outstanding Literary Work: Graphic Novel.

The motion picture adaptation is currently in development through Legion M, the first

fan-owned entertainment company.

In this conversation, Rob and Myiesha cover:

✅ How Rob discovered Robert Smalls and why he had to tell this story

✅ The research process — including working with a Harvard professor and Robert Smalls'

great-great-grandson

✅ What the graphic novel format made possible that a screenplay alone couldn't

✅ What the NAACP nomination means for Robert Smalls' legacy

✅ The animated feature film in development and how fans can invest
