Black Woman EXPOSES Al Sharpton's Career-Ending Mistake In Nolan Wells Hoax

**Jason Whitlock** (0:00)
Happy Friday, no a firestarter again today. I apologize, but I got a great reason for it. April Chapman is going to rejoin me. She was here with Jamika yesterday. She's here today by herself, because we're going to do a deep dive on Nolan Wells and potential lawsuits against Al Sharpton and Ben Crump and all the people stirring up all the drama in Ocean Springs, Mississippi around Nolan Wells. April Chapman, who has the Unshakable podcast, went and spent the weekend in Mississippi in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, talking with the families involved, the families and people in the community that have had enough with Ben Crump and Al Sharpton, two carpet baggers coming down to Mississippi and stirring up racial divisions and making accusations about the young white kids that were with Nolan Wells on July 4th.
April spent time with the families. I want to show you a picture she tweeted out of herself in front of someone's home down in Mississippi with a gathering of people she went to dinner with. I'm going to read parts of her tweet that she posted about her visit.
This photo represents something far deeper than a dinner. During my time in Ocean Springs, I've had the privilege of getting to know some truly remarkable people, including members of the families whose sons have been publicly accused and implicated since Nolan Wells is passing. For the past 47 days, these families have carried a burden that is difficult to put into words. They have watched the names and reputations of people. They love become attached to accusations, speculation and a national narrative, all while grieving the tragedy that brought them to this place. I'm going to stop there and just bring April into the conversation. In April, in the audience, we're going to get to Mississippi, but I want to get a little bit more background on April, just because I think it's tremendous that she's like, well, let me go on down to Ocean Springs and find out what's really going on, instead of just speculating from her podcast studio.
And so, April, are you a trained journalist? Did you go to school for journalism? Have you been doing journalism? How long have you been doing your podcast? Give us a little bit of the history on April Chapman.

**April Chapman** (2:44)
Sure. Thank you. Thank you so much, Jason, for having me again. But no, I am not a trained journalist. Now I have been nosy since I was about three years old, very inquisitive, full of questions. But a trained journalist, I am not. I am simply, I'm a talking head on the internet. I have the Unshakable with April podcast. I originally started in 2022 and then rebranded a few years ago. I simply talk about social and political topics from a biblical worldview. When this tragedy happened, just in my normal political commentary capacity, I'm covering this story and it just sparked from there initially.
It was a tragedy. I didn't see it from an ethnic or racial perspective, but I was very interested in it because the details surrounding it seemed a little weird. But my first knee-jerk reaction wasn't, some white boys did something to a black man and now we need to talk about it.

What is your background? Where did you go to college? What did you study? What did you want to be before an opportunity to become a podcaster came about?
All right.

**April Chapman** (4:04)
I'm originally from Bronx, New York, born and raised, and went to boarding school for high school as a part of a school choice initiative before it was considered school choice. Spent some time as one of few black individuals in a white context, as we would say, and decided that I wanted to go to an HBCU to spend time with my people.
I came down to Atlanta, attended Spelman College, entered in as a biology major because I wanted to be an OBGYN.
Well, after one semester of biology at Spelman, I realized very quickly that that wasn't going to be in my future. So I switched to sociology, the typical degree that so many women like me tend to change to because we realized we just need to graduate and get out. But then I ran out of money and then I dropped out of Spelman. And so several years later, I spent 11 years in the insurance industry. Then I meet my husband and we become small business owners in the furniture industry. And then I'm a stay-at-home mom. I'm helping raise our kids. And one day I had the bright idea to start a podcast. And that's what I did.
