This week on INVESTED, Isaac Hayes III and Noah Washington sit down with Mandii B, the outspoken creator, entrepreneur, and co-host of Decisions Decisions and Selective Ignorance. Known for her unfiltered honesty and cultural insight, Mandii joins the show for a raw conversation about power, politics, media, and what it truly means to stay authentic in a changing digital world. As Election Day nears, the Fanbase crew spotlights how local elections shape daily life and why young leaders like Marietta’s 24-year-old mayoral candidate Sam Foster represent a new wave of civic engagement.  The episode also tackles the CBS News layoffs under Bari Weiss and what they reveal about erasure and ownership in media. “Digital Blackface” confronts AI’s role in spreading racist stereotypes, while “The Sound of Silence” questions what hip-hop’s absence from the Billboard Top 40 says about the genre’s evolution.  Finally, this episode examines AI’s growing presence in Black music, and whether innovation is crossing into imitation. Candid and unapologetic, Episode 14 reminds us that authenticity is still the boldest act of resistance. Invest now starting at $399 for 60 shares at https://bit.ly/3JuFck4 .
