1:13:19Now PlayingFanbase was built on a simple truth: culture creates value, but ownership determines who keeps it. In this episode of Invested, Isaac Hayes III and Thelma Anderson explore how that reality is unfolding across entertainment, politics, media, and institutional power.
The conversation begins with Isaac’s field report from Tyler Perry Studios’ Holiday Wrap Party, where leaders across Black film, music, and media weren’t just celebrating, but openly discussing new production models, microdramas, and platforms that give creators control over distribution and monetization. The message was clear: access is no longer enough. Ownership is now the expectation.
From there, the episode examines Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s 2026 U.S. Senate bid in Texas as a case study in grassroots power and community-led infrastructure. The discussion then turns to the cancellation of Ebro in the Morning at Hot 97, using the moment to interrogate media ownership, editorial freedom, and who ultimately controls cultural narratives.
The episode closes with a careful breakdown of the Sherrone Moore situation at the University of Michigan, focusing on accountability, power dynamics, and the role institutions and media platforms play when private conduct becomes a public crisis.
