Actor Michael K Williams was just found dead.

A lot of people don’t know that Michael K Williams who played Omar on the wire was actually discovered by Tupac Shakur. 

According to the New York Post: 

“The Wire’’ actor Michael K. Williams was found dead of a suspected heroin overdose in his Brooklyn penthouse Monday afternoon, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Williams was discovered unconscious in the dining room of his luxury Williamsburg pad with what appeared to be heroin on the kitchen table, sources said." 

Michael K Williams was born in Brooklyn, the son of a Bahamian mother from Nassau and Booker T. Williams, an American, from Greeleyville, South Carolina, where his African-American family has deep roots.  Williams was raised in the Vanderveer Projects in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, and attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School. According to a DNA analysis, he is descended partly from the Mende people of Sierra Leone.

After getting in some trouble as a youth, he enrolled at the National Black Theatre in New York City.

I spoke in this episode about the history of blood diamonds and why Beyonce's fans are furious. 

Dr Christina Parks is a PhD from The University of Michigan.  Her testimony before the Michigan State House of Representatives was powerful.    A lot of people have questions.

Why DONDA would be both proud and concerned about Kanye  I have to take a moment and talk about Kanye West. Kanye has just released his new album called DONDA, Which everyone is talking about.  But even before Kanye West put out this album, he was heavily criticized and targeted by cancel culture for his affiliation with Donald Trump and the Republican party.  Since that time, Kanye West has accumulated billions more in wealth With a sustained commitment to Powernomics in the philosophies of building monetary systems within the black community.  #Kanye and #Donda are worth talking about, but there is so much more.   Sincerely,  Dr Boyce Watkins  http://AllBlackEconomics.com

Today on The Black Financial Channel, I spoke about the stock market being "pregnant."

It is pregnant with possibility and the baby is going to be delivered this Friday.

Today I have an amazing conversation with brother Nuri Muhammad from The Nation of Islam. 

Rapper Lil Nas X has been promoted to Chief Impact officer with Taco Bell.    This is an interesting development, given that #LilNasX has come under fire for promoting imagery in his music videos that have offended quite a few people, mostly those from the African  American community.   According to Billboard:   "Lil Nas X is cooking up a new partnership with Taco Bell.  The record-smashing hip-hop artist is today (Aug. 23) unveiled as chief impact officer at the fast food chain, a new relationship that will play out with a menu of activities, collaborations and a company-wide push for his forthcoming album Montero.  The 22-year-old artist (real name Montero Lamar Hill) and Taco Bell have history that pre-dates his hits. Back in 2017, the artist was part of the Taco Bell team at an Atlanta-area outlet. Fast-forward to now, and he's riding the success of two global No. 1 hits in "Old Town Road" and "Montero (Call Me By Your Name).""  I don't have any issue with the right to free expression for Lil Nas X and any other rappers that have things to say.  I simply want to explore the racial implications of these sorts of corporate partnerships, which tend to come at the exclusion of more meaningful economic relationships with the black community.   To learn more from me and join my book club for free, please visit http://BlackKeysToGreatness.com.  You can also join me at the 2021 All Black National Convention by registering at http://AllBlackNationalConvention.com.   Sincerely, Dr Boyce Watkins http://AllBlackEconomics.com

Clinton Portis has jail in his future if he doesn’t pay what he owes to take care of his kid.  This week, an arrest warrant was issued for the former NFL running back over unpaid child support. According to court documents, he has failed to make a single payment of court-ordered child support of $1,937.00 monthly to the mother of a child born in March of 2015.  The first request for enforcement was filed in October of 2019, and at that point, Portis already owed $103,775.00, according to Jennifer Cabrera of the Alachua (Fl.) Chronicle.  “After Portis failed to appear at hearings, an Order to Appear and Show Cause was issued on July 20, 2021, ordering Portis to appear before the court on August 6 or be arrested. When he didn’t appear on August 6, he was found in civil contempt of the court. That order found that Portis owes retroactive child support of $147,962.49 plus interest. It also found that he has “the means and ability to pay, has guaranteed income, and has substantial retirement assets.” The former Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos running back signed an eight-year, $50.5 million that included $17 million in combined signing and option bonuses in 2004. At the time, the deal made him highest-paid running back in NFL history.  By 2009, much of his money was already gone. He filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2015.  #ClintonPortis #DrBoyceWatkins #BoyceWatkins #ChildSupport

I noticed that the singer Lizzo broke down on Instragram after feeling the pressure over the work that she's doing.  I thought I might add some perspective.
