Hey everyone, It's Shaun here, and today we are bringing you The Momentum Advisor's latest podcast episode. It is a personal story that's close to our hearts. Homecoming for Allan and Tiffany looked very different this year as their alma mater experienced a violent shooting on campus and therefore all Homecoming festivities were cancelled for the first time in over 100 years. This episode talks about what was NOT cancelled! Including the opening of our new business on Morgan State...

Hey everyone, it's Shaun here, and today we're bringing you a throwback episode of The Momentum Advisors Show. This one originally aired on August 20th, and it's all about a place with a rich history and a unique spirit—Martha's Vineyard. Now, Martha's Vineyard holds a special place in many hearts, especially in the Black community. It's a place known for its rich Black history, and it's often celebrated as 'for us, by us.' But there's so much more to Martha's Vineyard than meets the eye. In...

You may have seen the viral video of the young rapper, Sexxy Red, saying how much she loves Donald Trump and wants to see him back in office. It's all over my timelines, and about 85% of the responses I see are HARSH, 5% are celebratory, and the remaining people are trying to make a point that I hope to make today. At least try to learn something from her. Because A LOT of people feel just like she does. Let me unpack and explain it. To listen to today’s FULL EPISODE of The Breakdown go now...

You've heard me say this before, but it's VERY hard to know a moment in history when you are living in it. Well, we continue to live in a very peculiar and disturbing time in American history - in the shadows of thousands of people trying to overthrow the American government, Republicans have now cannibalized one of their own, and voted out their own Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. That has never happened before. And for the next week, or longer, the United States Congress won't even...

Last night I learned something truly preposterous. Tennessee State University, which is one of the most important Black colleges in America, is owed $2.1 BILLION by the state and federal government after a federal research project determined they, and other Black colleges, were systemically underfunded for years. This is the literal definition of systemic racism. Today I want to unpack this story and also talk about what we can learn from the bigoted members of Congress that are about to shut...

Just last month, Philadelphia Police Officer Mark Dial brutally shot and killed a young man who was sitting in his parked car. And to cover it all up, the cops lied and said that the victim, 27 year old Eddie Irizarry, got out of his car and lunged at police with a knife - giving the city, and the nation the impression that the shooting was justified and in self-defense. Except police made the entire story up. And it's all on film. In fact, Irizarry never even got out of his car. Never opened...

Yes, Joe Biden is getting smashed by Donald Trump in several new polls. And yes, he called LL Cool J, who is 55 years old, a boy this weekend. But it's now abundantly clear to me that he is absolutely going to be the Democratic nominee. How do I know this? Staffers from the Democratic Party told me so. And they will abundantly clear and definitive. Let me unpack and explain it. To listen to today’s FULL EPISODE of The Breakdown go now to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and search for “The Breakdown...

Today I have 2 important stories to break down. First, CONGRATS to the Writers Guild of America for coming to a new agreement while on strike for an astounding 146 days! You all are my heroes. Secondly, I want to talk to you about what Ireland did to this beautiful Black girl who got passed over again and again for the medal THAT SHE EARNED. I have an important update on this story. Let me unpack and explain it. To listen to today’s FULL EPISODE of The Breakdown go now to Apple Podcasts or...

First off, Happy 22nd Anniversary to my dear wife, Rai. I love you honey. Secondly, I have to weigh in on how American cities are truly bungling the migrant crisis that's going down across the country. And by spending tens of millions of dollars, and in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars, to care for the migrants, while mistreating and abusing and cutting funds to basic services to your own citizens, it's sparking a deep anger that I am seeing almost daily from coast to...

Oh Texas. We just talked about you yesterday. And here we are, yet again, covering your bigotry and ignorance. Yesterday it was you suspending a brilliant young man from school FOR WEEKS because of his natural Black hairstyle. Now you are firing teachers for teaching about Anne Frank! Like what?

Enough is enough. Outside of Dallas, the Barbers Hill School District has suspended a brilliant young man named Darry George, for week after week, because they say his beautiful natural hair style violates school rules. The wild thing is... it doesn't. And not only that, Texas passed a law called the CROWN Act, which prohibits discrimination against African Americans with natural hairstyles. But it's WILD that we even need such a law. Let me unpack and explain it. To listen to today’s FULL...

I've been watching football for 40 years. Never in my life have I seen an opposing coach be hated on and talked about like we have Coach Prime for the past 4 weeks. It's unprecedented. In fact, it literally violates all coaching standards and norms. Coaches NEVER talk trash about opposing coaches. But those rules are all going out the window. WHY? 2 main reasons....

It's unforgivable, really. Just days after a New York jury determined that Donald Trump sexually abused a woman - who happens to be a JOURNALIST - the network had Trump on for an open conversation - hosted by a conservative woman in front of a conservative audience. They had COUNTLESS chances to back out, but forged ahead and did it anyway - spitting in the face of decent people everywhere. Let me unpack and explain it.

Why don't they care? Because they are a cult. And he is their cult leaders. Cult leaders are often sexual predators, but their followers just shape their morality and ethics around the abuse of their leader. They dismiss it. They justify it. Yesterday a jury of Donald Trump's peers found him civilly responsible for the sexual abuse and defamation of one of his many victims. It should absolutely mean the end of his public life. But it won't. Because America has ALWAYS been willing to look the...

Last week, in broad daylight, on New York City's busy F train, a white man choked a Black man death in front of the entire train. It was one of the ugliest, most despicable acts of violence that I've ever seen. For over 4 minutes, Daniel Penny choked the literal life out of Jordan Neely. Until he died right there on the train. Other men held down Jordan's arms to prevent him from ever getting free of the brutal chokehold. Daniel Penny should've been arrested on the spot. But, of course, he...

Friends, I'm excited to bring you a throwback episode of The Breakdown that originally aired on August 12, 2022. You know, it's really astonishing to me that in America, when we look at the top 50 most represented people with monuments, half of them were enslavers. It's unacceptable. But what's the solution? Waiting for others to create monuments for us isn't going to cut it. We need to take action and build them ourselves. That's what I address in this episode - specifically, building...
