In an inspiring conversation with Touré, billionaire philanthropist Robert F. Smith shares his powerful vision for giving back. His mission? To create a gentler world through economic justice and to help empower communities—especially Black communities—through philanthropy.
“It's about liberating the human spirit,” Robert says. For him, it's not just about writing checks; it's about creating lasting change that uplifts and empowers those who need it most.
From his monumental act of paying off $34 million in student debt at Morehouse College to his ongoing commitment to help Black people thrive, Robert’s work serves as a reminder that success is most meaningful when it’s used to help others rise.
True wealth isn’t just about what you accumulate—it’s about how you give back and elevate others along the way.

In a powerful conversation with Touré, Lisa Price, the founder of Carol's Daughter, opens up about her journey from humble beginnings to selling her company to the largest beauty brand in the world. Despite facing criticism and being called a "sellout," Lisa refused to own the shame others tried to place on her.
"I know what my job was, and I know what my purpose was," she says, reminding us all that success comes with its challenges, but our story is ours to define.
Lisa’s journey is a testament to resilience, self-belief, and the power of rewriting the narrative. We’re often told how success “should” look, but the real strength lies in trusting your own path and owning your purpose. Don’t let anyone else define your journey. You are the author of your own story.

President Trump latest immigration proposal—a $5 million ‘Gold Card’ that would grant a fast-track to U.S. citizenship for wealthy foreign investors. This move would replace the existing EB-5 investor visa program, which currently allows foreigners to apply for green cards if they invest in U.S. businesses.
Critics are already questioning who benefits from this policy, calling it a pay-to-play system that prioritizes the ultra-wealthy.

"CFPB RIP” – But Why, Elon? 👀💰
During yesterday’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) hearing, Sen. Elizabeth Warren called out Elon Musk for his blatant attack on consumer protections. She highlighted how Musk tweeted "CFPB RIP 🪦" on February 7th, 2025, making it clear that dismantling the agency is personal for him—and benefits billionaires like him the most.
The CFPB, created in 2011 after the financial crisis, has returned over $21 billion to families scammed by financial institutions. It holds banks, lenders, and credit companies accountable—but now, it’s under attack from Musk and the Trump administration, who want it gone.

The Alabama Supreme Court has authorized the execution of Robin "Rocky" Myers, convicted in 1994 for the murder of his neighbor, Ludie Mae Tucker. However, Mae Puckett, a juror from his trial, asserts Myers' innocence, stating, "They never proved he did it."
Despite the jury's 9-3 recommendation for life imprisonment, the judge imposed a death sentence. Myers' attorney highlights the lack of physical evidence and missed appeal opportunities due to legal missteps. With execution imminent, advocates are urging Governor Kay Ivey to grant clemency.
#GrioFam, do you believe the justice system should reconsider Myers' case?
