Darlene Williams on the Black Authors Festival, AI Plagiarism Traps, and the Truth About Publishing

Darlene Williams is the founder and president of the Black Authors Festival, held annually in Sag Harbor, New York and Atlanta, Georgia. She is also a certified personal and professional development coach, college educator, literacy advocate, and founder of the Higher Level Method publishing imprint.

In this episode of Diversified Game, Darlene Williams joins Kellen Coleman for a powerful conversation on literacy, publishing, banned books, AI writing risks, and the deeper cost of illiteracy in Black America.

Darlene shares why literacy is more than reading. It is access, power, political awareness, economic mobility, and self-determination. She also discusses the story of her husband, whose life shows what literacy can unlock: from juvenile detention and prison, to teaching himself to read behind bars, earning his GED, tutoring more than 200 inmates, graduating summa cum laude with his master’s degree, teaching at the college level, becoming a licensed social worker in two states, and graduating from Columbia University.

This conversation goes deep on why banned books matter, how Black history is being erased, why critical thinking must be taught early, and what authors need to understand before trusting AI to write or publish their work.

Coach Darlene does not give quick fixes. She gives truth.

"AI is just refrigeration for us. Now, are you going to create your own Coca-Cola?" — Shameem Shah

What separates a real, scalable AI build from something you slapped together on a no-code tool? On this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with Shameem Shah, founder of Xpentor, a software and technology consulting firm out of New Jersey serving insurance, higher education, NGOs, and government since 2008.

Shameem breaks down the shift from generative AI to agentic AI, why most no-code builds fail to scale without the right data model and architectural foundation, and how his team uses AI to crush compliance and speed-to-market in the insurance industry.

We get into his internal tool Cognax, real use cases from medical colleges to underwriting, why an MVP at $2,000 to $5,000 beats a blind $100,000 commitment, and his big-picture take on where AI is taking all of us.

"You can't really stay in the business to have it grow. You have to train people, put them in place." — Marcia Davis

What does it take to run multiple restaurants, event centers, and once 37 Airbnbs without burning it all down? On this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with Marcia Davis, restaurateur and entrepreneur who moved from St. Louis to Atlanta with her husband Chef Mark Davis and built a self-taught empire from a 2011 catering company.

Marcia breaks down the difference between owning a ton of businesses and owning five successful ones, why she moves slow and strategic, how she mastered payroll, hiring, and systems through trial and error, and why she sold off her Airbnb arbitrage at the right time. We get into raising kids with an ownership mindset, putting them out at 18 to learn real life, community give-backs, and why she still answers her own DMs for free.

No celebrity hookup. No overnight hype. Just systems, discipline, and generational thinking.

Choya Wise: How to Build a 6-Figure Counseling Practice From Scratch

They told me there is no money in mental health. Choya Wise spent 24 years proving them wrong. In this episode of Diversified Game, licensed therapist and practice owner Choya Wise breaks down the real business of social work, why an LCSW can earn what a doctor earns, and how to build a practice that pays whether you bill insurance or private pay.We get into the numbers most people are scared to say out loud.

What sessions actually bill at, what insurance really reimburses, why so many clients pay cash, and how the math scales when you stop trading every hour for a dollar. Choya also gives the game on getting coached instead of going it alone, the mentors and books that moved him, and why doing it yourself is a fool's errand that just costs you years.

Then we get human. We talk about why AI will never replace a real therapist, the difference between praying it away and getting trained help, forgiveness work most people skip, and how to actually meet a client where they are. If you are a student, a new grad, or a Black man wondering if this field is for you, this one is for you.

Janean C. Armstrong on 30 Years Behind the Financial Curtain: The Game They Never Taught You

Learn the mindset and moves that lead to real results. Please visit my website to get more information: http://diversifiedgame.com/

Janean C. Armstrong spent thirty years inside the financial industry as a senior banking executive, often the only person of color in the boardroom, learning the game most people are never taught. On this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with the award winning author of Sis, Get Your Purse in Order to break the shame and silence around money and hand women a real blueprint for confidence, protection, and generational wealth.

Janean keeps it all the way real. She talks about marrying at 42 with no prenup and how she protected the home she had owned for ten years, then finding the love of her life at 50 and building a marriage on a loving but honest conversation about credit reports, 401ks, and legacy before they ever said I do. She shares how she walked into Grambling State University as a first generation college student with $50 and no clue about tuition, how a financial aid counselor changed her life, and how she ran up ten credit cards and a 400 credit score before she ever learned what a FICO score was.

We get into life insurance as a love letter to the people you leave behind, why tithing can be time and not just money, how to build three to six months of emergency savings, the move from a high yield savings account to a CD to a Roth IRA, leaving free money on the table when you skip your 401k match, and the FDIC and payable on death structures that protect your money in the bank. This is the real game on real estate, business ownership, investing, and retiring with dignity.

Go to the description, grab the book on Amazon, leave a review after you read it, and share this with somebody who needs it. You can move from chaos to confidence to financial freedom, and it starts with getting your purse in order.

We bring you real game on business, ownership, wealth, and self determination from people who have actually been in the rooms they describe. Subscribe, like, comment wherever you are watching or listening, and most importantly, share this game with somebody who needs it.
