The People Vs Keith Lee, Steph Curry Is Supporting Black Designers, & 3K Morehouse Alumni Have Debt Wiped

Amanda brings us stories to celebrate Black Joy Friday. First up Seales highlights Morehouse College’s remarkable initiative, collaborating with the Debt Collective to clear nearly 3,000 students’ debts. Amanda then proceeds with “A Public Seales Announcement” and checks voicemails.

Another story for Black Joy Friday comes from Calvin T. Mann’s inspirational mobile mentoring bus in Detroit, and Heman Bekele, a 14-year-old named America’s Top Young Scientist for his cancer-fighting soap invention. The show features “The People Versus” segment, discussing Keith Lee and restaurant reviews, and “Amanda’s Things I Learned This Week.” It also introduces “The Word Game” and the bonus word of the day, “regale,” meaning to entertain or amuse by telling stories. The celebration continues with Stephen Curry’s support for Black designers and a segment on the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.
