Tonight’s episode of the Inner Circle Podcast was powerful, timely, and full of real gems. Hosts Abe Kamara and Ms. B began by acknowledging the tragic event that took place in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent fatally shot a 37-year-old woman—an incident that underscores the fear, uncertainty, and urgency many immigrant communities are living with every day.
From there, the conversation pivoted into this week’s Business & Finance topic: If not now, then when? Ms. B introduced a powerful angle, encouraging listeners in 2026 to stop trying to build alone and instead embrace partnerships and collaboration. We discussed how one of the biggest barriers holding back African immigrants in business is the “solo mindset”—and why collective effort is often the missing ingredient.
The episode explored how fear, perfectionism, and waiting for the “right time” keep people stuck, and how many of the world’s most successful companies—like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft—were built through partnerships, collaboration, and shared vision.
This was a real, honest, and motivating conversation about leaving fear behind, taking bold but intentional steps, and building smarter together. Ms. B and Abe dropped gems throughout, making this an episode filled with insight, encouragement, and forward momentum.
Tune in for a conversation that challenges you to stop waiting—and start building.

Tonight’s Entertainment Monday episode was nothing short of lit. Host Abe Kamara and co-host Ms. B took listeners on a fun, nostalgic ride through the biggest viral and entertainment moments that defined 2025.
We talked about Beyoncé officially becoming a billionaire—joining elite company alongside Rihanna and Taylor Swift—and the cultural impact of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance, now the most-watched of all time. We also touched on Taylor Swift’s engagement, the viral Coldplay kiss-cam moment, and the shocking revelations that surfaced during the Sean Combs trial.
One of the most meaningful highlights was reliving the unforgettable Davido concert in Minneapolis on July 26—Liberia Independence Day weekend—where his shoutout to Liberia lit up the city and firmly put Minnesota’s Liberian community on the map. The entire weekend was a cultural moment filled with pride, joy, and unity.
We closed the show by thanking our loyal listeners for riding with us all year and for continuing to support the Inner Circle Podcast—especially the Entertainment Monday segment.

In this final Business & Finance segment of 2025, Abe Kamara is joined by Ms. B for a timely and informative conversation centered on the power of marketing and social media for immigrant-run businesses.
The episode opens with a warm welcome back to Ms. B following time away mourning the loss of her brother in Rhode Island. Abe and Ms. B then briefly acknowledge several heavy and impactful events shaping our communities, including the tragic shooting at Brown University, the heartbreaking murder of a mother of five here in Minnesota, and the ongoing ICE raids across the Twin Cities—underscoring the emotional and economic pressures many immigrant families and entrepreneurs are facing.
From there, the conversation shifts into an energetic and practical business discussion focused on why marketing must be a priority in 2026. Abe and Ms. B emphasize that social media alone is not enough—businesses must be intentional, strategic, and willing to invest financially in their marketing rather than simply posting and hoping customers show up.
This episode serves as both a reflection and a call to action, encouraging immigrant-owned businesses to take their visibility, branding, and growth seriously as they prepare for the year ahead.
A powerful close to the 2025 Business & Finance series—informative, honest, and forward-looking.
In one of the Inner Circle Podcast’s most informative and impactful episodes, Fire Chief Todd Berg and Deputy Fire Marshal Brandon Gautsch of the Brooklyn Center Fire Department deliver a comprehensive, education-focused discussion on fire safety and emergency preparedness.
This episode is a true public safety masterclass. The chiefs walk listeners through essential, life-saving topics every household should know, including when and how to call 911, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, cooking and electrical safety, space heaters and candles, emergency exits and meeting points, nighttime fire risks, and what to do after safely escaping a fire.
Designed especially with immigrant families and community households in mind, this conversation provides clear, practical guidance that can help prevent fires and save lives.
If you live in Minnesota—or anywhere—this is a must-listen episode that belongs in every home.
In this powerful solo episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, host Abe Kamara reflects on why entertainment matters more than ever in these heavy and chaotic times. Against the backdrop of recent mass shootings in the U.S. and abroad, along with an intensified nationwide immigration crackdown placing immense pressure on immigrant communities, Abe encourages listeners to pause, breathe, and prioritize their mental well-being.
From music and movies to concerts and live sports, this episode highlights how entertainment can serve as a form of mental reset, healing, and survival. It’s a reminder that tuning out—even briefly—is not avoidance, but an act of self-care and resilience.
In a world filled with uncertainty and fear, this conversation calls on listeners to protect their joy, lean into community, and allow themselves moments of light in the darkness.
In tonight’s powerful and eye-opening business segment, Abe Kamara and Ms. B delivered one of the most important conversations of the year. The show opened with a quick breakdown of today’s Federal Reserve interest-rate cut and the growing nationwide shortage of immigration lawyers—many of whom are struggling to even locate detained clients amid the chaos.
From there, we dove straight into our main topic: how immigrant businesses across the country are being shaken by ongoing ICE raids, creating fear, instability, and the very real threat of bankruptcy if current conditions continue. Ms. B shared new insights about ICE recruitment incentives—such as the reported $50,000 signing bonuses—and the troubling financial quotas that may be fueling more aggressive tactics in immigrant communities.
We also emphasized the importance of getting accurate information from official sources like USCIS and the Department of Homeland Security, and we ended the show with a strong call for unity: our immigrant businesses cannot survive these times without community support, solidarity, and collective advocacy.
A compelling, informative, and timely episode you don’t want to miss.

In tonight’s powerful episode, Abe and Ms. B return to the Inner Circle Podcast with a timely and emotionally charged conversation about the rising hostility toward immigrant communities across America.
The show opens with a “What’s On Our Minds” segment:
Ms. B reflects on the relentless Minnesota snowstorm — days of nonstop snowfall, harsh roads, and a winter season that’s already shaping up to be tougher than last year. Abe then shifts to a major New York Times report revealing that Minnesota has lost nearly $1 billion to fraud since the pandemic, with the Feeding Our Future scandal alone accounting for $259 million — a staggering revelation that has placed Somali immigrants under intense scrutiny.
From there, the hosts dive into the heart of the episode: the growing vitriol directed at immigrants. They unpack how entire communities are being unfairly scapegoated for crime and corruption, the emotional and economic impact of fear-driven rhetoric, and the disturbing reality that many immigrants now feel pressured to carry documents daily just to prove their status. The empty aisles in immigrant-owned stores and the anxiety felt in households reflect a climate of uncertainty that cannot be ignored.
Despite the heaviness of the topic, the episode offers clarity, empathy, and empowerment. Abe and Ms. B remind listeners that immigrants remain resilient, resourceful, and essential to the fabric of Minnesota and America.
A thoughtful, eye-opening, and deeply relevant conversation.

Tonight’s episode was powerful, timely, and deeply relevant to immigrant life in America.
We opened with a serious conversation about the ongoing immigration raids targeting the Somali community in Minneapolis — the fear, the confusion, and the impact on families. From there, Abe broke down two major national stories: the proposed Trump Account for newborns and Michael Dell’s extraordinary $6.5 billion philanthropic gift, and what both mean for generational wealth.
Then Abe and Ms. B took the conversation to another level with the main topic:
Can we truly make each other millionaires through community capital?
The answer: Yes — if we are disciplined, organized, and united.
Ms. B emphasized that trust and healing are the foundation our community must rebuild. Abe challenged the culture of spending thousands on parties while ignoring business investment. Together, they laid out a bold vision of what is possible when African immigrants pool resources — from buying property to launching group ventures. Ms. B even committed to calling friends to raise funds toward an apartment building.
This was one of the most inspiring and impactful business conversations we’ve had — filled with real talk, real numbers, and real solutions.
A must-listen for anyone serious about wealth, community, and the future of immigrant prosperity.
In this powerful and timely episode, Abe and Peterson dive into the heightened immigration climate unfolding across the country. The conversation explores recent federal statements that have deeply affected the Somali community, as well as the increased immigration enforcement actions reported in major cities from Los Angeles and Portland to Chicago, Charlotte — and the anticipated operations in Minneapolis.
Peterson reflects on how intensified enforcement creates fear and uncertainty for immigrant families, while Abe discusses the long history of shifting political attitudes toward immigration in America. Together, they unpack what these moments reveal about the resilience, strength, and unity of immigrant communities in 2025.
Thoughtful, informative, and deeply engaging, this episode highlights the courage immigrants continue to show in the face of pressure and negativity — and the lessons we’ve already learned about perseverance this year.

Ms. B shared her joyful and eventful weekend that began early, with her best friend flying in from Atlanta for the holiday festivities. For me, the most meaningful moment was celebrating my daughter Bianca’s 15th birthday — a milestone that made the weekend unforgettable.
From there, we dove into tonight’s main discussion: the vibrant and rapidly growing entertainment scene for African immigrants in the northwest suburbs. With the soft opening of the brand-new Casa Afrique Lounge in Brooklyn Park, the area now features a strong lineup of cultural hotspots — including Jambo, Purple Rose Lounge, and Oro Lounge — giving the Twin Cities community a variety of exciting nightlife and entertainment options.
This was a fun, lively, and culture-rich segment celebrating the energy, creativity, and growth of African entertainment spaces right here in Minnesota. A perfect way to kick off December.

In this heartfelt and enlightening episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, host Abe Kamara is joined in studio by his ever-reliable and passionate co-host, Ms. B, as they dive into the powerful legacy of Give to the Max Day — Minnesota’s statewide day of generosity that began in 2009 and continues to uplift communities across the state.
With her deep nonprofit background and role as co-head of ACER, Ms. B brings unique insights into the needs, challenges, and opportunities faced by grassroots organizations — especially those serving immigrant and BIPOC communities. Together, she and Abe reflect on Minnesota's incredible culture of giving and community care.
Abe celebrates Minnesota as “the nicest state in the union,” and even jokes that Explore Minnesota should put him on payroll for all the love and promotion he gives on the podcast! But behind the laughter is a serious call to action: support the causes you believe in, and if you lead a nonprofit — especially in the African immigrant community — make it a priority to participate in Give to the Max Day in the future.
Ms. B reminds us that while there are around 40,000 nonprofits in Minnesota, only about 6,400 participated in GTMD 2024 — a gap that calls for more awareness, engagement, and representation.
Whether you're a donor, a nonprofit leader, or a curious listener, this episode is a timely reminder that every dollar matters, and that generosity — no matter how small — builds stronger communities.

Tonight’s business segment on the Inner Circle Podcast took an unexpected turn — and our audience loved every minute of it. What began as a conversation about the end of the 2025 government shutdown quickly evolved into one of the most passionate, fiery, and thought-provoking debates we’ve ever had on the show.
Ms. B opened the discussion by challenging the Republican Party’s role in the shutdown, arguing that tax breaks for the ultra-rich and rigid budget priorities fueled the crisis. Abe countered forcefully, pushing back that the core issue was the Democrats’ insistence on extending Obamacare subsidies, while Republicans simply wanted to pass a clean Continuing Resolution before negotiating any policy changes. From there, the debate intensified — two sharp minds, two unapologetically strong viewpoints.
What followed was an energetic clash of ideas, where capitalism met socialism, free-market arguments collided with calls for social protections, and the real tensions beneath America’s political divide came to life. It was unscripted, unfiltered, and absolutely electric. But above all, it was respectful — two passionate voices standing firm for what they believe, showing our community that disagreement can be powerful, productive, and deeply educational.
This episode is a reminder that business and politics are always intertwined, and understanding both is essential for navigating the world today. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge your thinking, broaden your perspective, and keep you engaged from start to finish.

Tonight’s segment was honest, relatable, and full of the kind of real talk our community needs. Abe and Peterson dove deep into the viral debate taking over social media — the idea of the soft life versus the hard life — and unpacked the truth behind the trend.
We defined both extremes, and we came to one clear conclusion: neither the soft life nor the hard life is fully real. They are two ends of a spectrum, and life is truly lived somewhere in the middle — in the balance.
Peterson encouraged listeners to choose themselves first, reminding everyone that you cannot build peace if you’re constantly comparing your life to curated online highlight reels. We both agreed that the “soft life” as portrayed on social media is largely an online fantasy — one that creates unrealistic expectations, pressure, and silent stress for millions of people trying to keep up with digital perfection.
This conversation was filled with practical advice:
Protect your mental space
Stop comparing yourself to the online Joneses
Slow down and embrace your own pace
Focus on discipline, stability, and real progress
Give yourself permission to rest without guilt
Build a life that feels good offline, not just looks good online
Tonight was a reminder that balance is the true soft life, and real peace comes from choosing yourself, your well-being, and your purpose — not what the internet tells you to be.
This episode will inspire you, challenge you, and call you forward.
Choose your own journey. Build a life rooted in authenticity. And remember: you don’t owe social media a performance — you owe yourself a future.

Tonight’s Entertainment Monday was pure fun, full energy, and nonstop vibes! Abe and Ms. B kicked things off by recapping their action-packed weekends. Ms. B had a marathon of community events—from a political fundraiser supporting a local Liberian senate candidate to showing love to African immigrant farmers at their festival. Abe spent his Sunday in full service mode, volunteering at the Vikings game and soaking in the electric Minnesota atmosphere.
From there, the conversation took a delicious detour into the importance of Liberian cuisine. Abe and Ms. B encouraged local food preparers to dream bigger and finally bring a mainstream Liberian restaurant to the Twin Cities—because the world deserves fufu, cassava leaf, and palm butter on every corner!
And of course, no Entertainment Monday is complete without a splash of celebrity drama—Offset dropped a bomb saying Cardi B’s baby is his, and the Inner Circle family had thoughts!
Then we dove into the heart of tonight’s topic:
The Rise of the 10-Second Attention Span: Are We Losing Patience as a Society?
Abe and Ms. B unpacked how TikTok has become the world’s most powerful platform—proving that short, fast, addictive content now rules the world. Nobody wants to read anymore. Nobody wants long conversations. Everything has to be quick, spicy, and straight to the point. We explored how this is reshaping relationships, entertainment, communication, and even community life.
This was a fun, engaging, and relatable segment filled with laughter, hot takes, and real observations about the world we’re living in today.
