  • Bubble Bath Stories w/Guest Aneka Winstead of WattKid$, INC

    This past spring and summer hit us all hard! Everyone, everywhere had to reevaluate their numbers and it gets one thinking, what are the kids learning from this? This week The Gang sat down with Aneka Winstead. She is the founder of WATTKid$, Inc. This is a program designed to help children learn financial literacy to help them start, guide, build and secure their financial future. This isn’t something that’s built like an S.A.T. test, either. It’s designed to keep their attention and teach them! And don't worry the program is parent friendly as well. The conversation explored that teaching children finances, even if you as an adult don't know much about it. Aneka explained that while she was a parent participating in an after school program in her son's school she realized just how important it was to teaching children about finances. While doing that, she started getting requests to help the parents. It can be discouraging to teach kids about something you, yourself may not know. Her programs aren't geared to just one kind of financial planning, she explains that children should know the importance of treating yourself, investing, being charitable and saving. Nicky Trendz talks about although she is somewhat financially literate, she still finds herself worrying about a rainy day, especially since something as big as pandemic happened. Aneka ensures that everyone is different when it comes to habits, even her husband who spends his money on exclusive sneakers, is able to use those sneakers as an investment when reselling them. When the conversion about money is open and fluid among parent and kids, the open and willingness to learn is greater. Aneka hasn't just developed color books or books, she also has a downloadable budget and business plans to help kids learn with more of a hands on experience. When do you think kids should start financial literacy education? Have you spoken to your children about your family finances? Let us know! Keep the conversation going ...

  • "Where's that mute button?"

    So, America had a second debate! And experts are saying this one didn’t sway undecided voters either way! On Thursday, October 22nd, President Trump and Former VP Biden went head-to-head, again. There were changes made this time around, such as a mute button being added for incidentals. If you listen very carefully, you can even hear them get muted, like once. This debate was wild for the Rubber Ducky Gang, though! Issue brought up like COVID Response, Minimum Wage, Health Care, and Immigration were among the hot topics here. The main O-M-G Moment was during the immigration topic. Manny Oso felt Trump was stopped right before saying something super offensive. And Nicky thinks Trump had no clue how to help the 500+ Kids who’s parents can’t be found! Nicky and Manny also bring up the celebrity involvements that have been added. Ice Cube has come out saying that he has tried reaching out to both parties and has only been replied to by Trump’s Republican Campaign. And 50 Cent posted recently on his Instagram about his fear of a Biden a tax hike on his own Income. These two stories were important because they show how influential artists can be with swaying people. What do you think about our candidates second debate? Do you think this debate swayed you?

  • The Great Trainwreck of 2020
    Hello Gang! Nicky and Manny invite you into their bubble today for a look at their reactions from the first Presidential Debate of 2020.
    On Seetember 29th, President Donald Trump and Former Vice-President Joe Biden went head to head in what was widely reported as on the worst moments of the elections. Hosted by Fox News’ Chris Wallace, we were supposed to get a night of diplomacy and answers to questions we have had all year. Instead we got what CNN’s Dana Bash called “a sh_t show”!
    Insults were thrown, accusations were made and most Americans thought we learned nothing new.
    Manny Oso was particularly annoyed by how Trump continued to answer questions no one asked. Many of his answers seemed to be on how he imagines Biden would have lead, had he been put in charge 4 years ago.
    And then, beofre the waters could settle down, someone tried dropping a political bombshell on all of us. Melania Trump’s former BFF & advisor released secret recording of the FLOTUS speaking candidly about her frustrating experiences with the press. These recording included her speaking about her wardrobe choices and decorating tasks for the White House. This was a story that Nicky found a particular nuisance, professionally speaking.
    It was quite the weekend of ups and downs (mostly downs) of updates for political circus we are in this year and the Rubber Ducky Gang invites you to peep into our minds and see where we were mentally at the time!
    So join us for Part 1 of this saga!
    What do you think of what’s been happening with our candidates? What do you think about how our leaders are ha doing this election?

  • Can you Guess Who?
    POC in Charge, NYTimes Article
    Hello Gang.
    A few weeks ago Manny Oso came across a great piece from The New York Times by a team a of journalist that put together a list of the 922 most powerful people in America. The article puts faces to people who are apart of the industries that make our world go round.
    The list includes, CEOs of huge companies, owners of your favorite sport teams, policy makers and policy enforcers and so many more!
    Here is the part that doesn’t surprise anyone, 80% of these people in power are White.
    Now that we can see where the chips actually fall, how many of these people do you identify with?
    Manny asks the listeners to look around their homes and see how the list of 25 Highest Valued Companies is basically scattered around them.
    Nicky’s reaction over the 25 Highest Values Fasion Companies was less than warming. She mentions how it is amazing that not only are there only 3 People Of Color, but only 4 women. She sees this trend across the article.
    The article doesn’t tell you anything you don’t know. It’s not a surprise when you see that out of the 99 owners of professional sports teams, only 6 are POC. Even though the majority of the players are POC.
    Does putting faces to these powerful position change anything for you?
    Check out the The New York Times article:

  • John Boyega Wars
    That right the dynamic duo sit down for a double feature to explain what their theories are about the “Star Wars" storyline and the possible dream sold to Boyega to make him feel like he got the short end of the stick. So let’s dive in:
    "STAR WARS" STORYLINE THEORY - Ok check it, everyone knows the story of "Star Wars" so we won't bore you. Episode 7,8,9 tells the story of Han Solo and Princess Leia's son who reps the dark side, some chick goes on to follow the journey of being a Jedi, a Stormtrooper who flees and a bunch of other things happened. Now here is the BIGGEST THING ABOUT "Star Wars Episode 7"... The trailer seen around the world was an opening shot of a deserted desert. In the distance you see a Stormtrooper walking through. Then all of a sudden the stormtrooper takes off the helmet! BOOM! (For those of you who aren't Star Wars Stans, This is a SUPER HUGE DEAL! because they never take their helmets off!) the first look of the face is of a... BLACK MAN! (AGAIN! this is a super huge deal in the "Star Wars" universe. In the story of the Skywalkers its always about keeping the family out of the dark side and controlling the skills learned as a Jedi! All the other characters are simply put in the story to give it depth. John Boyega's character is Finn. Now the trailer makes it seem that Finn- the AWOL Stromtrooper is the main attraction for the movie! All everyone spoke on was "OMG there's a black storm-trooper!" Manny who is a "Star Wars" fan makes a point to say even he was fooled by the trailer.
    GQ UK Magazine Article - Fastforward to Boyega's GQ interview. This interview caused so much controversy for no reason! Here's why: He only briefly touches on his experience while doing the franchise. He spoke on how he felt about how he was dealt with as a member of the "Star Wars" family. Here are a couple of excerpts from his interview:
    “I’m the only cast member who had their own unique experience of that franchise based on their race,” he says, holding my gaze. “Let’s just leave it like that. It makes you angry with a process like that. It makes you much more militant; it changes you. Because you realize, ‘I got given this opportunity but I’m in an industry that wasn’t even ready for me.’ Nobody else in the cast had people saying they were going to boycott the movie because [they were in it]. Nobody else had the uproar and death threats sent to their Instagram DMs and social media, saying, ‘Black this and black that and you shouldn’t be a Stormtrooper.’ Nobody else had that experience. But yet people are surprised that I’m this way. That’s my frustration.
    ”Backstory of what could've happened -  As someone who works in production, Nicky is completely aware of the back alley deals that are made. She points out that it is completely within Boyega's right to feel what he feels because she sees it happen on small scales, so lord only knows how it is on a much bigger scale. She believes he was sold a dream as a prominent black character and once the hype dyed down, he was placed on the back burner without being told. Nicky also believes that Disney thought he would be happy just to be apart of the franchise and just do whatever they wanted. They picked the wrong one!
