episode Still Standing: Jason Weaver on Resilience, ATL, and What's Next cover

Description

Loren LoRosa sits down with actor and entertainer Jason Weaver — known for his roles in ATL and as the singing voice of young Simba in The Lion King — for a candid conversation that goes way beyond the highlight reel. They open up about the anxiety that comes with being a provider in uncertain times, why it's okay to feel uneasy even when things are going well, and how pressing forward through the doubt is what signals to the universe you're ready. Jason breaks down the real reason an ATL sequel hasn't happened yet, what it would take to make it a reality, and why Black creatives need ownership over their intellectual properties. Plus, he reveals his brand new late night talk show Leave It to Weaver, launching this summer with 85 South — and why he believes now is exactly the right time to bring that Arsenio Hall energy back. This one's for the culture.

The Student Loan Reset Is Coming — Part One with The Student Loan Doctor

Forty-two million Americans owe the federal government a combined one-point-eight-seven trillion dollars in student loans. On July 1, the rules change. Under President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," several existing repayment plans  including the Biden-era SAVE plan  are being eliminated. Anyone who borrows starting July 1 will have just two repayment options on the table. In Part One of this special conversation, Mimi Brown sits down with The Student Loan Doctor, Sonia Lewis, to break it all down. What is going away. What is staying. What current borrowers need to do right now. From the Black Effect Podcast Network.
