NBA player JR Smith regrets wasting his money 24.07.2022

​by Dr Boyce Watkins I just read an interesting article about former NBA star JR Smith admitting that he has deep regret regarding the way he blew through $90 million dollars during his years in the NBA. “You know how many people you can change [their] lifestyle with $10 million in our hood?” Smith said. “We’d rather go throw $60,000 in the strip club…than go feed 2,500 people in the hood.” I've s...

Harvard hires its first black Dean of Students 23.07.2022

I read today that Harvard University hired its first black Dean of Students.  While some are accustomed to celebrating such achievements, I must confess that I am not always one of them.    I am very happy for Stephen Ball, believe me.  I am sure he worked extremely hard for his position.  But there's something about black people celebrating our acknowledgements from...

Black women outraged after Insecure Star reveals his wife and blocks comments 20.07.2022

Jay Ellis, star of the hit TV show, "Insecure," angered a lot of black women after he married a white woman and blocked the comments.  Given that marriage is one of the greatest wealth transfer vehicles on earth, one has to wonder if we live in a world where black women are used to gain wealth, power and status and then ditched when its time to make meaningful commitments. 

The stock market is up, but don't go chasing waterfalls 19.07.2022

Today we speak about the fact that the stock market is rising, but there are risks abundant within equity markets.  Also, inflation is not yet under control, and the economy may be dipping.  This market's volatility appears to be heavily driven by classic overreaction, so I would be cautious about reading too much in short term advances.

Sha'Carri Richardson should be mentored by Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on How to get Corporate Sponsorships 18.07.2022

Today on The Black Financial Channel, I speak about the stark difference between the branding decisions of Sha'Carri Richardson vs. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.  Shelly-Ann is the five time world champion in the Women's 100 meter dash and Sha'Carri is a very talented athlete who doesn't do very good interviews, who also didn't make the semi-final of the US Nationals.  Without attacking Sha'C...

Are some rappers basically black mental illness on display? 15.07.2022

Today, Dr Alicia and I explore the unspoken topic of black rappers and mental illness.  It is our belief that many artists are selected by mainstream media for mass promotion largely because they display dysfunction that is the result of undiagnosed mental illness.  If you'd like to subscribe to Pillow Talk with Dr Boyce and Dr Alicia Watkins and also receive a free e-copy of my book, "F...

The racism of the Hunter Biden hypocrisy 13.07.2022

We all know about the drug problems of Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden.  The ironic side of this is that Biden spent many years pushing a zero tolerance policy on drugs that was enforced on the black community.  I want to discuss the economic costs to the black community for the Joe Biden War on Drugs and how the Hunter Biden Hypocrisy plays out in all of this.

Is it ok for her to have a secret bank account? 06.07.2022

Today on Pillow Talk with Dr Boyce and Dr Alicia Watkins, we ask:  Is it OK for a woman to have a secret bank account?  My wife isn't just a full professor of Social Work, she's also a licensed couples therapist.  In her view, secrets typically don't age well in relationships, especially when it comes to money.  As a financial guy myself, I can say that there is certainly a tru...
