Fair Housing Is Under Attack - Why Black Buyers Are Denied Twice As Often ft. Brian Scaggs

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. 🙏🏽 👇 Subscribe, comment your questions, and share this with someone who needs it. Ownership is power. And we are still in this fight. 💪🏽 #BlackVoicesInRealEstate #BlackHomeownership #MyieshaMovesYou #GenerationalWealth #BlackWealthBuilding #NACA #OperationHOPE #RealEstatePodcast #MediaWithMyiesha #HomeownershipForAll #BlackRealEstateAgents

Disney + Marvel Writer Rob Edwards on His NAACP-Nominated Graphic Novel Defiant | Media with Myiesha

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 ───────────────────────────────────────── ⏱️ CHAPTERS ───────────────────────────────────────── 0:00 – Introduction & Welcome 2:30 – Who is Rob Edwards? 5:00 – The Story of Robert Smalls 10:00 – Bringing Defiant to Life as a Graphic Novel 13:00 – The NAACP Nomination & Community Impact 16:00 – Getting the Book into Schools 20:00 – The Animated Film & Legion M 26:00 – If Robert Smalls Could Watch This... 28:30 – Where to Find Defiant & How to Invest ───────────────────────────────────────── 📖 GET THE BOOK ───────────────────────────────────────── Defiant: The Story of Robert Smalls → https://a.co/d/06sgo2eQ [https://a.co/d/06sgo2eQ] Invest in the Defiant Film → legionm.com ───────────────────────────────────────── 🔔 SUBSCRIBE & FOLLOW ───────────────────────────────────────── Subscribe to Media with Myiesha → https://www.youtube.com/@mediawithMyiesha [https://www.youtube.com/@mediawithMyiesha] Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/mediawithmyiesha/ [https://www.instagram.com/mediawithmyiesha/] Follow Rob Edwards → https://www.instagram.com/iamrobedwards/ [https://www.instagram.com/iamrobedwards/] ───────────────────────────────────────── #RobertSmalls #Defiant #RobEdwards #NaacpImageAwards #BlackHistory #GraphicNovel #MediaWithMyiesha #BlackStoriesMatter #Representation #PrincessAndTheFrog #CaptainAmerica #BlackExcellence #Animation #HiddenHistory #Interview
