John Hope Bryant, chairman and CEO of the nonprofit organization Operation HOPE, discusses his new book, “How the Poor Can Save Capitalism: Rebuilding the Path to the Middle Class”, which examines the need for greater financial literacy and offers plans for a brighter economic future for all.
Sister Simone Campbell drew national publicity in 2012 when she launched her controversial “Nuns on the Bus” tour to oppose Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan. She joins us to discuss her activism and her new book, “A Nun on the Bus: How All of Us Can Create Hope, Change, and Community”. In this week’s installment of “Five Things You Should Know About…”, Irvin Schorsch III, founder and president of Pennsylvania Capital Management, offers advice on negotiating. Clarinetist Anthony McGill is the first African American principal performer in the 172-year history of the New York Philharmonic. He joins us to discuss his rise through the ranks of classical music. Over the past decade, an increasing number of companies have cut budgets for advertising aimed at Black consumers. The trend is directly reflected in the decline of advertising agencies owned and operated by African Americans. Advertising executives McGhee Osse, co-CEO of Burrell Communications Group, Carol H. Williams, president and CEO of Carol H. Williams Advertising, and Eugene Morris, founder of the recently shuttered EMorris Communications, join us. After nearly four decades laying down bass riffs behind the music industry’s best, Nathan East has finally put out his first solo album called, appropriately—“Nathan East”. |
