    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Latrease Price-Gistard.
    Purpose of the Interview
    The interview aims to educate listeners on the mortgage industry, highlight the role and benefits of working with an independent mortgage broker, and provide practical advice on home financing options, credit challenges, and programs that support homeownership. It also shares Latrease’s entrepreneurial journey and lessons learned.
    Key Takeaways
    Background and Career Path
    Latrease has a finance degree and started in investment operations in 1999.
    Transitioned from auto financing and co-owning a car dealership to mortgage lending.
    Became an independent mortgage broker in 2022 after being laid off during rising interest rates.

    Role of an Independent Mortgage Broker
    Holds her own license and partners with multiple lenders to offer tailored loan products.
    Advocates for borrowers to ensure they get the right product, not just approval.
    Specializes in helping first-time buyers, self-employed individuals, and those with unique challenges.

    Home Financing Insights
    Reverse Mortgages: Typically for seniors 62+, often used by those 75+ with equity and limited retirement funds. Provides tax-free cash without monthly payments; debt settled upon sale or refinance.
    Zero Down Payment Programs: Offers up to 3% for down payment, attached to the mortgage; other programs provide up to 5% for down payment and closing costs.
    FHA 203K Program: Allows buyers to finance home purchase and renovations in one loan—ideal for fixer-uppers.

    Credit Challenges
    Programs exist for credit scores as low as 500, but require higher down payments (10–20%) and result in higher interest rates.
    Latrease consults and provides “what-if” scenarios to help clients improve credit over time.

    Entrepreneurial Lessons
    Mistakes: Starting without enough capital and a strong pipeline; economic timing matters.
    Advice: Build capital, secure a solid client pipeline, and understand market conditions before going independent.

    Notable Quotes
    On independence:
    “As a broker, you serve as that advocate for your borrower to make sure they’re getting the right loan product.”

    On reverse mortgages:
    “The beauty of it is there are no monthly payments going back to the institution. The debt is paid off when the home is sold or refinanced.”

    On credit challenges:
    “Programs go as low as 500 credit score, but those borrowers need 10–20% down.”

    On entrepreneurial advice:
    “Make sure you have strong capital and a solid pipeline before stepping out on faith.”

    On perseverance:
    “It’s all about follow-through. It’s all about your dream and whether you want to make it happen.”

    Health Risks: She discusses the serious health risks associated with hair relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic braids—particularly among Black women.

Keep winning!
    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Melanye “Dr. Mac.”
    Maclin joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the serious health risks associated with hair relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic braids—particularly among Black women. Drawing from over 25 years of research and patient experience, she explains how chemicals used in these products absorb through the scalp, disrupt hormones, and significantly increase the risks of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, early puberty, fibroids, and infertility.
    The conversation also highlights systemic resistance from the beauty industry, government agencies, and even consumers themselves—primarily due to financial incentives and lack of awareness. Dr. Mac advocates for safer hair practices, increased education, and protective measures to reduce exposure. She also discusses her pioneering internal hair‑health supplements, Bella Nutri, for women (2004) and men (2008), and how she helped introduce the U.S. market to nutritional hair support long before it was mainstream.
    Purpose of the Interview
    The purpose of the interview is to:
    1. Educate listeners about the hidden health dangers
    …of chemical hair treatments including relaxers, permanent dyes, and synthetic hair containing benzene.
    2. Advocate for informed hair‑care decisions
    Dr. Mac wants women—especially Black women—to understand how beauty practices impact long‑term health.
    3. Encourage the beauty industry to adopt safety protocols
    Such as scalp protection, warning labels, and honest communication about risks.
    4. Highlight Dr. Mac’s work and products
    Including her Bella Nutri supplements and educational platforms (Ask Dr. Mac).
    5. Empower parents to protect children
    By avoiding chemical treatments on young girls whose bodies are especially vulnerable.
    Key Takeaways 1. Chemical relaxers and permanent hair dyes are strongly linked to increased cancer risks.
    Permanent dyes raise the risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer.
    Black women exhibit a 45% increased risk of breast cancer when using permanent dyes.
    Combining dyes with relaxers significantly compounds the danger.
    2. The danger comes from chemical absorption into the scalp.
    Relaxer chemicals include sodium, calcium, guanine, and lithium hydroxide.
    These chemicals burn through the scalp, entering the bloodstream and disrupting hormones, leading to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, and cancer.
    3. Synthetic braiding hair contains benzene—a carcinogen.
    Benzene exposure affects both the stylist and the client.
    Risks include lung cancer and leukemia.
    4. The beauty industry resists change because of profit.
    Salons rarely display warnings because “it affects business.”
    The relaxer–damage→hair‑loss→extensions cycle creates a lucrative revenue loop.
    5. Children are especially vulnerable to chemical exposure.
    Relaxers on children under 10 can cause: early puberty
    fibroids
    infertility
    early hysterectomies
    increased cancer risk

    Dr. Mac advises never relaxing a child’s hair, but if done, the product must stay on no more than 5–10 minutes with complete scalp protection.
    6. Scalp protection is essential for anyone still using relaxers.
    Use petroleum jelly over the entire scalp, not just the hairline.
    This reduces chemical absorption during both application and rinsing.
    7. Dr. Mac pioneered the U.S. hair‑supplement industry.
    Developed Bella Nutri after research with a Finnish company (Scalp).
    Initially dismissed as a “witch doctor,” but now the hair‑supplement market is mainstream.
    8. She refuses to participate in relaxer‑related lawsuits.
    Because she has warned people for 20+ years, she cannot ethically testify for those who ignored repeated warnings.
    Notable Quotes
    On the impact of chemicals:
    “The chemicals burn through the scalp… getting into the main bloodstream and causing hormone disruption.”
    On the increased cancer risk:
    “African‑Americans have a more than 45% increased risk when we use permanent hair dyes.”
    On synthetic braids:
    “As long as that synthetic hair is on her head, she is breathing in benzene.”
    On industry pushback:
    “People are about the green‑eyed devil called money.”
    On relaxing children’s hair:
    “Hopefully a mother doesn’t take her child to get a relaxer.”
    “Hair chemicals can lead to early puberty, fibroids, infertility, even hysterectomies before age 40.”
    On the vicious cycle of damage and profit:
    “It’s a 360‑degree money‑making cycle.”
    On caring more than her patients:
    “I feel like I’m caring more about someone’s health than they are caring about their own.”
    On pioneering supplements:
    “Hair and skin are internal organs—they manifest externally.”

Keep winning!
    Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Alison Vaughn.
    International speaker, author, and CEO/founder of Jackets for Jobs, a Detroit-based nonprofit that, for over 26 years, has provided professional attire and career training to more than 40,000 job seekers.
    Rushion McDonald leads a deep-dive conversation into her origin story, faith-driven entrepreneurship, struggles, workforce development, women’s empowerment, and the profound human stories behind her mission.
    Purpose of the Interview
    The interview aims to:
    1. Inspire entrepreneurs and community leaders
    By showing how faith, persistence, and purpose can build a 26‑year nonprofit that changes lives.
    2. Highlight the importance of appearance and confidence in employment
    Vaughn explains how professional attire boosts self‑esteem and job‑seeker success.
    3. Showcase the impact of Jackets for Jobs and encourage public support
    She explains donation needs, especially professional clothing and plus‑size attire.
    4. Educate listeners about workforce development and women’s empowerment
    She outlines common barriers job seekers face and how proper support transforms families and communities.
    Key Takeaways 1. The “Catch‑22” That Sparked Her Mission
    Job seekers often lack professional clothing. Without clothing, they can’t get interviews; without interviews, they can’t get jobs. Jackets for Jobs was built to break that cycle.
    2. Faith Was the Foundation
    Vaughn repeatedly attributes her longevity to divine guidance—leaving a career at United Airlines to follow a vision she didn’t fully understand at the time.
    “I stepped out on faith… God gave me the vision.
    3. Longevity: 26 Years in a Tough Sector
    With most small businesses lasting 5–10 years, surviving 26 years—especially as a nonprofit—is extraordinary.
    Over 40,000 job seekers have been served.
    4. Self-Education in Entrepreneurship
    With limited internet 26 years ago, she learned business through library books, including Grant Writing for Dummies and other “Dummies” titles.
    Her story was later featured in the Detroit News and USA Today, and the Dummies publishers even sent her books.
    5. Workforce Development Explained
    Workforce development means helping unemployed residents gain jobs and stability—critical in Detroit, where unemployment has historically been high.
    6. Women’s Empowerment: Changing Mindsets
    She noticed many women on government assistance had low confidence or relied on men financially.
    She wrote “Ms. Goal Digger, Not Gold Digger” to teach self-sufficiency, financial independence, and professional self-presentation.
    7. Appearance = Confidence = Currency
    Professional attire changes posture, self-worth, and interview success.
    Clients leave “with a pep in their step,” she says.
    8. The Emotional Toll and Motivation
    She recalls stories of clients who:
    survived sex trafficking,
    were sleeping in cars,
    struggled with multiple children and no resources,
    or rode the bus with infants in freezing weather.
    These moments keep her going but also weigh heavily.
    She emphasizes hiring staff who have compassion and resist judgment.]
    9. Entrepreneurship vs. 9–5 Reality
    Entrepreneurship is “24/7,” especially in nonprofits where money must be accounted for with precision.
    People don’t just give to a cause—they give to a leader they trust.
    10. Success Defined
    While she has celebrated major achievements like ringing the NASDAQ closing bell twice, she says real success is:
    “When someone unemployed calls me and tells me they have a job.”.
    Notable Quotes (All from Transcript) On Founding Her Nonprofit
    “I stepped out on faith… God gave me the vision.”.
    “If you didn’t have an outfit for an interview, you didn’t go… It was a catch‑22.”.
    On Longevity
    “To be able to say I have lasted 26 years… that’s a testimony in itself.”
    On Confidence
    “Confidence is currency.”.
    “Their posture is different… that’s why they’re going to get that job.”.
    On Entrepreneurship
    “If you want to start a nonprofit, be prepared for 24/7 and a lot of paperwork.”.
    “There’s a difference between day wear and date wear.”
    “I want you to change your mindset.”.
    On Impact
    “Everyone that walks through has a story… you have to have compassion and not judge.”
    On True Success
    “Helping someone get a job… that’s success to me.”.
