Toyota RAV4 Presents Going Places Radio: Kat Calvin
by Going Places Radio in Entertainment
Tags: Toyota RAV4 Going Places Radio Kat Calvin Joy Keys Saturdays
Kat Calvin is a pioneer of the rarest sort, working diligently to bridge the gap between the digital revolution and cultural stereotypes. Or, as Saturdays host Joy Keys put it, “You’re a black geek girl.” In 2012, Kat founded Black Girls Hack, the first nonprofit hackathon series targeting the African American tech community. And true to fellow geeks everywhere, she doesn’t shy away from the uncool—even when that means freezing her fingers off. “I’m dying to go to Antarctica. Hack with penguins is what I’m gonna do,” she tells Joy. “There are people who go there on really cool scientific journeys. And I just want to go so bad. It’s on my bucket list. It is my bucket list.”

Toyota RAV4 Presents Going Places Radio: Tiana Von Johnson

Tags: Toyota RAV4 Going Places Radio Tiana Von Johnson GoldStar Properties Mecca James
She’s the first African American woman to own a Wall Street real estate agency, an achievement that becomes even more impressive when you consider she built her company from scratch, beginning at an age when many of her peers were still figuring out what they wanted to be. “I started my business at 27. It was a risk a lot of young people wouldn’t have taken. But I’m different,” Tiana Von Johnson, CEO of GoldStar Properties, tells host Mecca James. “Being a black woman has definitely had its challenges. My competitors don’t want me taking away millions of dollars of business from them each year. But I knew that there wasn’t a firm that really catered to the athletes and musicians, which was a segment of the market my firm set out to capture early on.”

Toyota RAV4 Presents Going Places Radio: Common
by Going Places Radio in Entertainment
Tags: Toyota RAV4 Going Places Radio Common Chris Rock Tim Gordon
Common doesn’t take lightly to gross generalizations about his art form. Ah, make that art forms. “Chris Rock said to me one day, ‘As soon as rappers start acting, their raps aren't good anymore.’ I never ascribed to that,” the two-time Grammy winner, who also starred in the 2012 flick LUV, tells Keepin’ It Reel host Tim Gordon. “I’m an actor. I don’t look at myself as an actor-turned-rapper. I’m also a hip-hop artist. But because I do both, it’s like, you don’t stop working at it, training at it, trying to get better. You go out and seek and you put passion into what you do. I have a passion for rapping. I have a passion for acting. And because that love is there, I can wake up every day and work.”

Tags: Toyota RAV4 Going Places Radio Douye The PM Show Philippe Matthew
Talk about down for whatever. She’s a diva who hails from Nigeria and elicits the memories of legends like Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn. And her musical collaborator hails from, well, the rodent family. Interviewed on The PM Show, Douyé recounts how she came to write her hit single Life Is Good. “That song was literally inspired by a squirrel. I went to a park where I normally jog every morning and I encountered this squirrel that just kept following me around. So I got tired of this and just sat down and started asking it, ‘How are you?’ and ‘What are you up to?'’’ she tells host Philippe Matthews. “I laughed so hard that day. I felt so at ease, so blissful. Then the squirrel followed me to my car, and I sat there for over two hours, just talking with the squirrel. When I finally had to leave, the melody of Life Is Good popped into my head.”

Toyota RAV4 Presents Going Places Radio: Focus

Tags: Toyota RAV4 Going Places Radio Focus Buster Rhymes The Sy Effect
If anyone knows the power of networking, it’s Grammy-winning producer Focus. After all, he’s collaborated with A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé and Dr. Dre. And his advice to anyone looking to get in the music game is to be persistent. “I know it can be a nusance, but why would a Rick Ross or a Buster Rhymes or anybody of that caliber be on Twitter and not expect people to turn around and try to solicit themselves to them?” he tells The Sy Effect host Sy. “I’m still in the trenches with these producers. So the more persistent they are, the more it motivates me to be on my grind, because if I can’t fill the spot, I know they will. But new producers also need to find their own sound. Stop mocking what they hear on the radio. Find new textures. Be creative.”

It’s not easy being Nelson Mandela’s granddaughters. Though no matter how much pressure that lot in life poses, it’s got to be a breeze compared to staring Jaws in the face. Speaking with Film Festival Radio host Janice Malone about their new Cozi TV series, Being Mandela, Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and Swati Dlamini reveal the depths to which they went proving that political activism can go hand-in-hand with adventure. “It was absolutely frightening and scary,” Swati says of shark-diving off the coast of their native South Africa. “I talked my sister into doing it. But by the time I got on the the boat, I was like, This is such a bad idea. Can we get off this boat? But in the end it was fascinating to swim with great white sharks in their natural environment.”

Tags: Toyota RAV4 Going Places Radio Matthew A Cherry Almost 30 Iyanna Jones
NFL-wide-receiver-turned-filmmaker Matthew A. Cherry breaks it down about his new web series, Almost 30—suggesting that Hollywood do a better job of keepin’ it real in the comedy department. “You watch shows like Entourage and you always see an epic victory. There’s always these guys who always get the hot girl, their car is always nice. Like in the rap industry there’s always the same depiction of young black males,” he tells host Iyanna Jones. “But I was like, man, it would be so much funnier if you showed the struggle—you pull up to that club in a beat-up car and you gotta get out on the passanger-side door and stories like that we have from being young and trying to make it in L.A.”

Tags: Toyota RAV4 Going Places Radio Ellen and Lana Ector Black Girls Workout Too Joy Keys
The Huffington Post has hailed Ellen and Lana Ector as “two spunky women seeking to break the myth about how black women interact with fitness,” while Ebony magazine called their Black Girls Workout Too video “an exercise program that pushes females to rigorously increase their heart rate while toning their entire body.” So when Saturdays host Joy Keys asked the mother-daughter team ‘Who’s your supertar crush in terms of body type?’ our curiosity was piqued. “I like Pilar Sanders. She’s really slim and sexy, with a little muscle tone,” said Lana, 23. Ellen, however, simply replied, “Myself. I’m 60 years old and I like the way I look and love what I’m doing.” If only every sexagenarian sounded so sexy!
