Financial Freedom Fridays - ft Tiyana King 'Attack Your Debt Before It’s To Late’
yesterday · 30:47
In this Financial Freedom Friday episode, we're diving deep into what it really takes to get your money in order. I sat down with Tiyana Rosaiah Jamēs King, founder of The Rosaiah Jamēs Firm, and she brought the whole blueprint. This isn't just budgeting tips. It's about healing, discipline, and building wealth on purpose. Since 2023, her clients have paid off over 1.4 million dollars in debt, and today she's showing us exactly how they did it. We talk about her journey from drowning in debt as a college student, through losing her grandmother right before school, to the viral video that chang
The Corner Connection - Funding The Classroom 'Lifting The Community'
3d ago · 9:51
FAM, this Corner Connection came straight off my heart. I was set to give you a Wind Down Wednesday, but I saw a young teacher speak on everything our educators quietly carry, the money they pull out of their own pockets, the district deficits, and the lengths they go to just so their kids have what they need. I could not shake it. So I came to the Corner to talk with you about showing up for our teachers this school year. Go and check out the young lady who inspired all of this right here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcdjRieRYjF/ Today, I break down a few simple ways we can all give back,
Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Meatloaf or Hamburgers? 'A Faith Lesson Straight From the Kitchen'
8d ago · 10:25
In this episode, I'm taking you into the kitchen with me, because a simple meal turned into one of the realest conversations we've had over here. I was standing there trying to decide between a Hamburger 🍔 and a Meatloaf, and it hit me. Meatloaf, hamburgers, meatballs, it is all the same meat. The only thing that changes is how you break it down and how you take it in. And that is exactly how the weight of this world works. So much gets put on our shoulders. Work, relationships, parenting, friendships, and just dealing with people every single day. In this episode, I'm reminding you that you
The Corner Connection: How to Separate What You've Become Familiar With!!!
10d ago · 9:21
In this episode, we're diving into something I wrote down earlier this week and could not shake, the power of unchecking your favorites. Today, I take you back to the Fab Five days, back when T-Mobile gave you five people you could call free all day long, and I ask the question that got me: if that five never changed, did you? This is not just about the names starred in your phone. It is about the loyalty we hold onto with our carriers, our barbers, our hairdressers, our insurance, and yes, our people, sometimes long after the season has passed. Now hear me clearly, FAM, this is not about bein
Motivational Monday - Why I'm Not Sad, But Grateful For The Joyful Journey
12d ago · 8:41
This Motivational Monday I'm getting personal, and I'm calling it a selfish one, but stay with me because it's a Journey of JOY. This past weekend I dropped my baby girl off at college and on the very same trip I turned around and picked my son up after he finished his 1st full year of being a grown up. Two kids, two completely different chapters, one stretch of highway. And the big question that everybody keeps asking me: ARE YOU GOING TO BE SAD DROPPING HER OFF? My honest answer? I'm not sad at all. I'm truly, truly grateful. This is a joyful time and I look forward to the journey ahead. In
Financial Freedom Friday ft. Jaricka Thomas: Make Your Money Make Sense
16d ago · 35:52
This Financial Freedom Friday, we are pulling up to the corner to make money make sense. I sat down with Jaricka Thomas, a Certified Financial Education Instructor and the founder of Saving Sense, a movement built to empower our communities and heal generational wealth disparities. This is not about fancy words and big letters behind a name. This is about us, our future, and the wealth that has been waiting on us to reach out and grab it. Jaricka keeps it a hundred about paying down about $66,000 in student loan debt, and she breaks down the difference between just saving and actually investin
The Corner Connection - Perseverance Is the Excellence 'What Sending My Daughter to College Reminded Me Of'
18d ago · 13:19
This episode is straight from the heart. This was supposed to be a normal Wind Down Wednesday, but a long morning conversation with my Big Brother Mr. Moody flipped my whole perspective, so I had to sit down and talk it out with you all. As I get ready to send my baby girl off to her freshman year of college, we got real about life, about growing up, and about what it takes to let your kids step into their independence. We covered the stuff that matters. Enjoy life, but do it wisely. Stay safe, and not just from others, but from your own doing. I kept it honest, because I love you too much to
Motivational Monday - The Power of Protecting Others
19d ago · 7:54
On today's episode, I'm keeping it a hundred with you FAM. I've been pressed. I've been saddened. I've been watching what's happening to our community, the injustices we've faced before our time and the ones still happening right now, and it's been sitting heavy on my heart. But here's the thing about weight like that, it can either sink you or it can move you. I'm choosing to let it move me toward doing more, not less. And I'm bringing all of it right here to the Corner, because that's exactly what this space is for. This is about our community, and the truth that we all need somebody. Nobody
Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - You Are Not Alone
22d ago · 8:45
In this episode, we are slowing all the way down for a real conversation about gratitude, protection, and never walking alone. I came by just to say Thank You for being part of the Corner. I did not plan to preach, but the Lord had something on my heart, so I let it flow. I want you to know that you are never alone. When you are in that car, in that shower, in that prayer closet, He is right there with you. He is the ultimate listener. So talk to Him. Let it all out. And understand how He covers you. Tap in Now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner Drop me a comment about a moment you felt God co
The Corner Connection - Why New Experiences Keep Us Growing
24d ago · 6:50
In this episode, we're talk about two things that had many of you reaching out this week. First, I revisit the prayer and message I shared for our new 2026-2027 school year, lifting up our teachers, staff, families, and kids, and challenging all of us to do right, do good, and be the best we can be. Then I get into the one that really lit y'all up: I hugged a tree. 🌳 Straight out of the Brick City, a concrete jungle kid stepping outside to try something brand new, and I'm telling you, it was exhilarating, eye-opening, and more peaceful than I ever expected. This is what The Corner Connection
Motivational Monday - 2026 Back To School Message
26d ago · 19:03
In this episode, we're kicking off back-to-school season with a blessing over the whole schoolhouse, and FAM, I mean the WHOLE schoolhouse. The stores were jam packed all weekend down here in Georgia, kids are heading back in August with a whole month of summer still on the calendar, and I couldn't let this season pass without pouring into everybody who makes it run. I'm talking about the parents letting go of a baby heading to kindergarten for the very first time, the teachers who sacrifice out of love, the bus drivers who are a shield for our kids every single morning, the cafeteria crew, th
Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - Boundaries, Blessings, and Blind Spots
29d ago · 11:08
In this episode, we are getting real about protecting your peace and learning that boundaries are not selfish, they are survival. Today I am opening up about something I am still working on myself, releasing the guilt of trying to do everything for everybody, and recognizing when enough is enough. Too many of us around this age are dying from stress and broken hearts because we keep carrying more than we were built to carry. I also opened up about the blind spots in our lives, those things we can't see about ourselves because we're too deep in the mix. You know how you lean toward that car mir
Wind Down Wednesday - Fill In The Gap 'How To Honor The People You've Lost'
1mo ago · 11:00
In this episode, we're winding down and getting real about how we honor the people we love and the people we've lost. Today I'm opening up about a question somebody asked me that put me in a chokehold for a minute: when somebody significant passes away, how do you fill in the gap they left behind? My mind went straight to my grandmother, the woman we called Ma, the glue that held our whole family together. This isn't just about grief, it's about the difference between mourning them and living for them. Have you ever felt that void when somebody who held everything together was gone? I'm sharin
The Corner Connection - Remembering the Olympic Park Bombing 30 Years Later
1mo ago · 13:02
In Today's Episode, I'm pulling up a chair for a Corner Connection that has been sitting on my heart all day. Thirty years ago, on July 27th, 1996, the Centennial Olympic Park bombing shook Atlanta, and I was right there in the middle of that summer as a 19-year-old kid working two Olympic jobs on almost no sleep. Watching the news this morning took me all the way back, and I knew I had to share this one with y'all. This isn't just a scroll down memory lane. This is about timing, about faith, and about how close any of us can be to a life-changing moment without ever knowing it. I'm taking you
Financial Freedom Fridays - ft Alex Marie: Fintech, Credit Access, and Our Seat at the Table
1mo ago · 26:43
In Today's Episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the money machine and finding out who is really shaping the future of your dollars. I sat down with Alex Marie, Fintech executive, investor, creator, and founder of Alex4Fintech, and she made this whole world make sense. Most people can't even spell fintech, so I made her slow it all the way down for the Corner Community. High yield savings, ETFs, REITs, peer to peer lending, angel investing, and the difference between waiting on an advisor to call you back and making the move yourself from your phone. If you're new here, welcome to The Cor
Wind Down Wednesday - Your Health Is Your Job 'Stop Calling Out On Yourself"
1mo ago · 6:29
In Today's Episode, we're winding down on a Wind Down Wednesday and getting honest about something most of us are guilty of. I share a question that I saw today that stopped me in my tracks: 'What's harder, working or working out?' This question reminded me how we are programmed to work, but we were never programmed to work out. FAM, sit with that one for a minute. Because here's the truth. If your employer said be there tomorrow, you'd be there. Tired, sore, bad mood, traffic, none of it would stop you. So why is the one employer we keep calling out on ourselves? A lot of us put in that work
Motivational Monday - We All Are A WIP 'WORK-IN-PROGRESS'
1mo ago · 10:40
In Today's Episode, we're diving into the one word that can change your whole trajectory: CONSISTENCY. Today, I'm sharing why consistency isn't about doing the same exact thing every day, it's about showing up every day, even when you don't feel like it. This isn't just about motivation, it's about US building the discipline, stability, and fortitude that carries our community forward. I'm breaking down the three small habits that shaped me: making your bed (thanks, Dad!), folding your clothes straight out the dryer like we did back in the Brooklyn laundromats, and washing your dishes right aw

When My Sistah Wins We All Win - Dr. Cristen Harris 'From Rejections to Doctorate'
1mo ago · 22:25
In Today’s Episode, we’re celebrating Black Excellence and the power of refusing to take “NO” for an answer. Today, I’m welcoming a brand new family member to the Corner — Dr. Cristen Harris, who just earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy after being rejected by 12 out of 13 schools, being told by her own advisors to change her major, working FIVE jobs at once, and tearing her ACL on a volleyball scholarship. This isn’t just about becoming a doctor — it’s about US, our persistence, and proving that when they close 12 doors, you only need ONE to walk through. Dr. Harris keeps it all the way
Motivational Monday - 600 Episodes Strong: The Untold Story of Cousin Ed's Corner
1mo ago · 21:10
In Today's Episode, we're celebrating a MAJOR milestone — 600 Episodes of Cousin Ed's Corner! FAM, when I got that notification this weekend, I had to stop and give thanks. From a Corner inside my cousin Mr. Moody's show to a platform of our own, this Motivational Monday takes you through the entire journey from the 50/50 brothers, Mr. Moody's Neighborhood with DJ Naturel, the WhatsApp and Telegram days, and the moment Queen Taralyn Michelle told me to do this for real. This isn't just about a number, it's about US. It's about consistency, purpose, and staying grounded with God through the job
Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - What If Today Was Your Last Day?
1mo ago · 8:50
In Today's Episode, we're getting real about a question that stopped me in my tracks this week. It's Thank God For Everything Friday, and while a lot of folks are just thankful the weekend is here, we're going deeper — because over at the Corner, we thank God for EVERY day, every hour, every minute, and every second we're given. This week, I came across a young lady sharing a question her grandfather asked her: "If today was your last day, what would you do?" And just when she started building her list... he asked the follow-up that changes EVERYTHING. FAM, I had to bring it to you, because th
Wind Down Wednesday - When It's Not Your Weight to Carry Let God Hold It
1mo ago · 8:50
FAM, this Wind Down Wednesday we're talking about something heavy — the weight of being needed. You know the feeling: you're the one your kids call, your parents call, your friends call. The phone stays next to the bed "just in case." I used to think being able to do it for everybody was a badge of honor, but I'm learning that carrying everybody's everything without boundaries will wear you DOWN. This Episode isn't just about saying no — it's about learning to rest, building an for boundary around your availability, and trusting that when the responsibility isn't ours, God takes care of everyt
The Corner Connection – My Summertime Childhood Memories
1mo ago · 12:56
On this Corner Connection, we’re taking a trip back in time to the summers that MADE us. It all started with a conversation with my son about my childhood — and next thing you know, I’m right back on Flatbush Avenue in the 80s. Playing in the summer heat and runny in the Johnny Pump. Collecting cans at the Junction for five cents apiece to get my candy money. This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s about growing up in the 70’s and 80’s and the independence that shaped who we became. And you KNOW I had to take y’all down south too — the overnight drive with Wonder Bread and chicken in brown paper bags
The Corner Connection - ft. Taya Darling 'The Journey From ICU Nurse to Real Estate Broker to Outdoor Entrepreneur'
1mo ago · 13:03
🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨: In this episode, we’re getting into the power of reinvention and community building. Today, we’re sharing Taya Darling’s incredible journey from ICU nurse during the height of COVID, to real estate broker, to founder of Thrive Tribe Outdoors — a hiking movement she built from the ground up in just weeks. This isn’t just about career changes, it’s about US, about finding peace outdoors, and about showing up for our community in real, tangible ways. Remember, sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is get outside and keep moving? We’re sharing Taya’s powerful story, pl
Motivational Monday - It's Time To Reset Your Algorithm?
2mo ago · 11:08
In this episode, we're getting into something that is affecting every single one of us whether we realize it or not — and that's Resetting Your Algorithm. Now I know when you hear that word — Algorithm — it might sound like something only tech folks need to worry about. But trust me, this one is for all of us. Whether you're glued to Instagram, scrolling TikTok, or just living your daily life, your algorithm is running in the background, feeding you content, ideas, and energy — and most of us haven't stopped to ask: is what I'm being fed actually serving me? I got real in this episode, FAM. I
