RSMS Hour 1 | Mourning Beloved Actor Malcolm Jamal-Warner Gone at 54 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/78a347aa-3282-4ac5-837c-a72300032082/clips/6bc94794-bbcc-4271-bf47-b322011e20fd/transcript

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with major culture-shifting moments as the cast celebrates Sinners making history at the Oscars, with Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor, Ryan Coogler taking home Best Original Screenplay, and Autumn Durald Arkapaw becoming the first woman—and first Black woman—to ever win Best Cinematography. The crew reflects on what the film’s record-setting 16 nominations and multiple wins mean for Black creatives in Hollywood and why this moment feels bigger than just awards season. The conversation then turns to Michael Jordan, who recalls a terrifying autograph signing early in his career where a crowd surge nearly turned deadly—an experience that explains why he rarely signs autographs today and how fame can quickly become dangerous.  

The show also welcomes Judge Glenda Hatchett for a powerful, wide-ranging conversation about justice, advocacy, and her continued fight for accountability in Black maternal health after losing her daughter-in-law to preventable childbirth complications. She shares why she now takes on maternal death cases nationwide and highlights her new children’s book Goal Girls, created to inspire young girls to dream boldly and confidently. Wrapping things up, the team breaks down new developments in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal battle, as his attorneys argue his 50‑month federal sentence under the Mann Act is excessive and are pushing for immediate release or resentencing, calling the punishment a “perversion of justice” as the appeal moves forward.
