The post Secret Invasion: Who Are The MCU’s Hidden Skrulls? appeared first on Nerdist.

One of BLACK ENTERPRISE’s ‘Top Women Executives in Advertising,’ Marissa Nance, is leading one of the first and only female- and minority-certified media agencies to greater heights and deeper levels.

The revolutionary marketing executive and CEO of Native Tongue Communications devoted over 25 years of award-winning service at Omnicom to build the first-to-market MWBE-certified, media-led marketing agency in 2019. With women and people of color in mind, Nance credits empathy as the secret sauce to where success comes from.

According to the Market Insider Group, empathy-based marketing is the way forward. It is built on trust and involves seeing through the eyes of your customers. The Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report: In Brands We Trust reported consumers ranked trust as a critical factor in making a purchase decision.

Before leaving Omnicom, Nance was recognized as an entrepreneur, integral for her unique approach to marketing brands and shows like Survivor and Top Chef. She makes it her business to understand consumers at the micro-level and authentically connect brands to diverse and growing populations. Data shows that companies that make this type of effort yield better results.

“People dismiss marketing and advertising; they don’t realize it’s a resource. Marketing helps people grow, helps communities grow,” Nance told Ad Age.

“It touches everyone, and for me to be able to take it and bring it to the communities that it’s been missing and dismissing all these years is an honor, but it is truly the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”

In 2020, Native Tongue Communications served as an integral contributor to the $1 million investment in Black female entrepreneurs through the annual Essence Magazine and Pine-Sol “Build Your Legacy” program. The agency is also the creator of Clorox-owned Burt’s Bees’ first campaign. She helped launch The Armstrong Project, inspired by Peanuts’ first Black character, a Peanuts Worldwide initiative, and a four-year endowed scholarship to support up-and-coming Black animators’ work.

Ice Cube is addressing the decades-old conspiracy theory accusing Suge Knight of injecting the late rapper Eazy E with an HIV needle.

Since Eazy’s death in 1995 from AIDS, there has been speculation as to how the then-31-year-old rapper contracted the virus during the height of his career. Suge Knight put the attention on himself back in 2003 when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! following his release from jail and made a disturbing reference to Eazy’s AIDS-related death, via Highsnobiety.

“See, technology is so high. So, if you shoot somebody, you go to jail forever. You don’t want to go to jail forever,” Suge said at the time.

“They have a new thing out. They have this stuff they called — they get blood from somebody with AIDS, and they shoot you with it. That’s a slow death. The Eazy-E thing. You know what I mean?”

Ice Cube hasn’t said too much about the conspiracy theory about his old NWA group member but decided to address it when asked by YouTuber Logn Paul in a recent interview.

“How would [Suge Knight] do that?” Ice Cube asked Paul. “And Eazy would never tell anybody?”

“Maybe Eazy didn’t even know,” Paul’s co-host, Mike Majlak said in response. “‘Cause you just poke somebody and they don’t even know. Maybe they were at a club or some shit.”

“Nah, I think if somebody poked you with one of them goddamn needles, you’d know,” Cube declared. “You’d know. I mean, I’m just saying, just say this happened, Eazy would tell somebody, ‘This motherfucker poked me with some shit.’”

Cube continued, “Now, if he was unconscious and—I don’t know. … If Eazy would have known he got poked, he would’ve said something. If he didn’t know he got poked, then the conspiracy lives on.”

When it comes to if Ice Cube believes Suge would ever have it in him to do such a gruesome thing to a former friend and collaborator, the veteran rapper turned actor declared, “I don’t put sh*t past nobody.”
