This week, J.J. & Shayna dig into the caucasity of Felicity Huffman\\u2019s two-week prison sentence, find a way to ghost-drag de Blasio (even in his absence from the third 2020 presidential debate), and untangle recent reports of black unemployment being at an all time low. (Is it really? \\U0001f914) Our guest, Dr. Lakeysha Hallmon, founder & CEO of The Village Market, shares how her personal village of friends and family helped her launch a 100%-owned business, why she continues to turn down investors, and what the black community gains from circulating black dollars.
