Black Media Emergency: Isaac Hayes III and Tamisha Harris | Invested Podcast Episode 5

Isaac Hayes III sits down with seasoned television producer Tamisha Harris, who has shaped content at CBS, ABC, MSNBC, HLN, and CNN. Harris reveals how stories get filtered through "white editorial lenses," why Black producers must "fight for our stories" in newsrooms, and how digital redlining systematically demonetizes Black creators across platforms.

The conversation exposes a stark reality: Black culture consistently powers billion-dollar platforms to success, yet ownership remains elusive. From Clubhouse's $100 million raise off Black users to TikTok's parent company ByteDance reaching $400 billion valuation, the pattern repeats, cultural influence generates massive wealth for others.

"We are in crisis where we need our own Black media, specifically social media, because what's happening is we are being deprioritized, shadow banned- this needs to be our underground railroad, " said Harris as she deliver the episode's most compelling investor thesis, emphasizing that platforms like Fanbase aren't luxury, they're infrastructure necessities for information dissemination during uncertain times.
