00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.199
in the background, making us look
good, making sure we're coming through breaker

21
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.039
breaker one nine. And this is
all about female power. This is where

22
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.120
we go, this is how we
do it. Glory, glory, glory

23
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:37.199
to God. I want of hers. I have a moment of silence for

24
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.319
the folks in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I don't know if there's been any

25
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.280
casualties, but I have seen I
have never I'm on Native Florida, and

26
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.840
let me say that I have lived
in West Palm Beach, Florida for the

27
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.000
bulk of my life. I've only
been in Orlando for twenty one years.

28
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:04.000
Twenty two years, okay. I
have never known Fort Lauderdale to be flooded.

29
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.199
Never in my life that we've got
hit by the hurricanes. Hurricanes came

30
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:15.199
through Miami just you know, destroyed
houses and hurt people and there was fatalities

31
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.879
and everything else. But I have
never seen the pictures that are coming out

32
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.039
of Fort Lauderdale. I have never
And so I checked in with a couple

33
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:30.680
of classmates who are down in that
Broward area, Bavard area, Hollandale area,

34
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.319
Oakland area, all of that,
that's all for, that's all Fort

35
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.400
Lauderdale head into Miami, all of
that. And when I was talking with

36
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.560
the student, did my classmate today? She was like, it's pouring down

37
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.840
rain now she's already trying to text
her husband and go get the sun from

38
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.400
this school over here, and she's
trying to go and get a daughter from

39
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.919
over the Actually, actually she didn't
let her doll to go to school.

40
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:54.599
She didn't let her dough to go
to school. She goes, I'm not

41
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.560
going downtown. I'm not gonna do
it. We had people stranded here in

42
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.240
our land and though from fat law
of the I'm supposed to be heading down

43
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.319
south, and they had them strange. So let's have a just a moment

44
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:17.639
of silence for those folks. Please
thank you. And like I said today,

45
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.360
I do not know because I can't
even look at it. I can't

46
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.079
even look at pictures of it.
So I don't know if they've been in

47
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.879
their fatalities. I do know that
you know, we you know, people

48
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:34.759
are just disaster. Natural disasters are
happening everywhere. We've got people still killing

49
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.879
folks. Now they're killing killing children. We just had another one this weekend

50
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:45.279
where a woman and her daughters were
killed and they took the baby baby and

51
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.560
got the It's just a mess.
It's just a mess. I don't understand.

52
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.000
And I go back to the same
anger and everything else, and people

53
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.879
got to deal with the anger.
We know what. I know, you

54
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.839
want to get the guns off the
street, but the guns are already there.

55
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.759
And what our governors doing to sanction
you don't have to get a license

56
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.079
to carry because a weapon of all
that kind of stuff. You know,

57
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:12.839
you're you're just putting you you've got
another agenda you're trying to achieve. Um.

58
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.759
I want to get to the anger. I want to get to people.

59
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.759
And we're beyond prevention. We're beyond
early intervention. We're in intervention,

60
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:28.360
and we're in crisis. We've been
in crisis mode since twenty twenty. And

61
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.079
I know this is not the topic. We're gonna get to the topic tonight.

62
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.439
It is an exciting one, but
this is just heavy on my heart

63
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.199
that we need to get to all
these people are so angry to the point

64
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.360
where they want to go pick up
something and do harm, bodily harm.

65
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.199
It's enough that those who do the
emotional harm and the verbal abuse and the

66
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.800
emotional abuse. But now you just
take it to there's there's a group that

67
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.319
just I have nothing to live for, so let me just and I don't

68
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.560
want you living anymore. I don't. I don't understand that. But we'll

69
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.680
talk about that another time. But
we got to keep the world in prayer.

70
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.399
We got to keep the world in
prayer. There's never a time to

71
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.240
pray. And for those who are
not sure how to pray, just grab

72
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:14.399
your Bible and just start reading the
scriptures out loud, even if it's in

73
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:20.560
Genesis one and one in the beginning, in the beginning, Jesus wept.

74
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.399
Whatever you have to do scripture if
you're not certain of how to pray.

75
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.839
Anyway, Tonight we want to talk
about which I thought was kind of interesting

76
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.720
to see on the calendar world Creativity
and Innovative Day, an innovasion Day.

77
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:43.240
And we know that there are people
sitting right now that you all can see

78
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:49.839
on the channel here that a full
id is full of creativity and so I'm

79
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.199
gonna let them do some talking to
night because a lot of my dreams have

80
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.800
come into fruition and some of them
wasn't even my dream and it came along

81
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.800
with everything else. So I want
you ladies to talk about your dream some

82
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.480
innovation, some ideas, and you
guys, some creative ideas that you've had.

83
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.439
I had to just keep clear my
throat alongside. Excuse me, and

84
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.040
I'm not looking at the camera because
I know they're looking at me. Um,

85
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.759
but um, I want them to
um mute and to talk about some

86
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.040
ideas they have, Okay, And
then after they talk and everything, then

87
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.560
we're gonna say, you know,
we're gonna challenge our audience, you know,

88
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.399
right it and give us send us
some feedback. What kind of ideas

89
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:35.120
are you interested in? And you're
thinking I can't do this because of what?

90
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.279
So it's a two part question.
So either one of y'all I'm gonna

91
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.399
mute, either one of y'all get
started. But you know, you know

92
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.480
the rules, old lord. They
are pointing at each other, Jesus,

93
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:57.519
all right, uh who um?
So I mean there's various things that I

94
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:05.360
enjoy. Um. First of all, I like to be creative, and

95
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:15.759
doodling, drawing, sketching, writing, poetry, but also too, I

96
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:24.279
think one of my biggest passions is
community organizing and community building or relationship building

97
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:33.000
and family engagement. That piece that
is like really something at the top of

98
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.919
my list that is very enjoyable.
I could get a natural high. I

99
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.679
don't know what it is. It's
like when I talk about it, and

100
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.360
depend on who I'm talking about it
with, you can tell my wheels are

101
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.840
turning. And how do we how
do we get people on the same page

102
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.320
or how do we explore ideas and
bring them together for a common good.

103
00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:01.720
So when you were talking about the
guns, and if we're since we're already

104
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.879
in that mode where people have the
guns, okay, what what can we

105
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.639
do to make an improvement on it? So if that's the case, then

106
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:18.799
maybe if the laws are not gonna
put in sensible gun laws or regulations,

107
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.639
then maybe the people need to take
it on themselves. Okay, Well,

108
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.960
if people are gonna have the guns
and offer gun safety classes, you know

109
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.559
what to do with the gun.
I mean, they're already there, maybe

110
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.399
even free of charge, you know, no questions asked. This is how

111
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.399
you do the gun because they're not
asking questions anywhere else and so and if

112
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.879
people are gonna want to have the
guns, at least know how to shoot

113
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:48.919
them all things, um, you
know, correctly and putting the safety on,

114
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.840
and how to store it and you
know, making sure you keep it

115
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:58.279
out of reach your children, and
but maybe even workshops about that. You

116
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.320
know, it's taken. It's kind
of taking ownership. And and if no

117
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.440
one is going to like I said, if legislators are not going to pass

118
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.559
laws, sensible gun laws, then
then maybe just people take it on their

119
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.559
own and maybe somebody would just hey, hey, I'll teach you how to

120
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:20.039
shoot you know, um where you
know, least if you're gonna gonna do

121
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.320
it, least to hit the person
that you're trying to hit, not everybody

122
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.039
else, not trying to be fine. You know, it's it's because you

123
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.799
know, you have innocent people are
innocent just just standing there, and especially

124
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:35.399
if you're retaliating against folks and you're
shooting everybody but the person that you're trying

125
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.840
to get. And I know it's
probably funny, but it's not funny because

126
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.320
of the fact that you know,
innocent folks are dying and nothing else is

127
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.879
being done. So I'm just looking
outside of the box to figure out what

128
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:56.919
would be a common ground that you
know, um to teach responsibility and then

129
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.679
all maybe offer some anger you know
management. You know, if you feel

130
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.720
like you're doing this, put your
gun away. You know, those are

131
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.039
factors to bring on anger. You
know, when you're you're under the influence

132
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.960
of drugs and alcohol, you know, you're not your faculties are not where

133
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.759
they should be, and so you
might become more impulsive. So, I

134
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.279
mean, if you're gonna do it, just maybe some some some ideas or

135
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.879
some some events around that. How
to keep your kids say, and then

136
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.639
and then talking about it, How
can we keep our kids safe? Have

137
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.759
a big old community event and you
just bring all the factors together to talk

138
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.720
about you know, maybe even you
know if nl hey, let them do

139
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.679
a part. This is how you
do. This is how you you know,

140
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.679
store your gun, This is how
you clean your weapon. Never pointed

141
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.000
at anybody, even though you think
it's unloaded. You know, those types

142
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.159
of things that kind of the kind
of you know, see where we can

143
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.080
go from there, you know,
and and also to getting communities and families

144
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.919
involved with other stuff. You know, how can you improve prove your area.

145
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.519
You know, what are some things
that you can beautify it? You

146
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.360
know, what are some things that
make you know, your home more marketable

147
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.720
or your neighborhood more safe? You
know, because stuff attracts things, you

148
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:24.279
know, so if you have what's
the word, I'm looking for people bringing

149
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.600
what they're attracted to. So,
you know, if you're living in a

150
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.399
quiet neighborhood and you got some folks
that are moving that aloud, they're gonna

151
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.080
bring a loud people with them,
and then it's gonna reflect, you know,

152
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.919
more people attracted to it, and
the people who are quiet gonna gonna

153
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.200
go. So those are some of
the things. I know I've probably gone

154
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:50.720
off tangent, but hey, it's
Monday. Ed. Word you was looking

155
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:58.120
for was curve appeal? Yes,
yes, yes, exactly timing. So

156
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:05.919
I think I'm done for right now
with my stuff. So um, but

157
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.759
yeah, and then my passion too, I always have to throw it is

158
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.639
awareness for domestic violence and mental health. Those those are my two things that

159
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.639
those are my babies, and just
trying to figure out ways to bring more

160
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:26.759
awareness to that. Well, I
love what you said, and I like

161
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:33.279
how you input it that you involved
the NRA in there because they're the one

162
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:39.480
that backed all this that happens because
they don't want to lose their power of

163
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:46.600
whatever they have, and we know
nobody. I don't think, o USA,

164
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.559
I'll need an AK forty seven because
this ain't a war zone. That's

165
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:58.519
first on poor program. But then
I like the fact that you're including them

166
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.159
in. So yes, come to
how you keep your guns safe. Come

167
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.000
teach how you store your gun properly. That will protect a lot of our

168
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:13.519
children. And it's funny you should
bring up that about the guns because the

169
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:20.879
other day my mom was telling me
on one of those Judge Judge shows,

170
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.759
there was two young men, one
seventeen, one sixteen that I think the

171
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.679
seventeen year old and his dad used
to go shooting and doing little things.

172
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.120
The sixteen year old he was egging
a seventeen year old, let me see,

173
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.519
just let me see the gun.
Let me see the gun. So

174
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:50.240
he did, and he let him
hold it. He took the chamber out

175
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:56.399
of the gun, but I mean
it took the holder, the bullet holder

176
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.799
out, But little did he either
one of them realized that was still a

177
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:07.559
bullet in the chamber. Luckily,
no casualties happened, but one of the

178
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:13.399
little boys, the sixteen year old, did get hurt. So the mom

179
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:18.360
and the dad in court. Mom
want to sue for twenty five hundred dollars.

180
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:24.039
Dad want to sue for eight hundred
dollars because what happened. The little

181
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.240
boy's shoulder got hurt because he you
know that gun, you know, pull

182
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:35.519
back, but the but the bullet
went into this man antique car that was

183
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.279
worth a lot of money. All
he wanted was repaired to his car.

184
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:46.080
The mom wanted the doctor bills to
be paid. The judge asked both of

185
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:54.080
the boys what was the situation were
to end up ruling the mom had to

186
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.080
pay that dad that eight hundred dollars
because she responsible for that sixteen year old.

187
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:06.080
But he told those two young men, both of them, you need

188
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.200
to work to pay off that doctor
bill, making them responsible, making them

189
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:18.639
accountable for their actions. One because
he shouldn't have allowed he should have not

190
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.879
let him talk him into it.
And two, you were so only supposed

191
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.039
to go so far. But as
we say, take an inch and you

192
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:33.000
want to run a mile. So
that's why they both end up. That

193
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.720
was good judgment to me because that's
making both of those boys responsible taking care

194
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:45.080
of this man car and that mama
realizing that her son needed to be punished

195
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:52.480
in some form a way. But
on that end, with the job I

196
00:16:52.720 --> 00:17:00.919
have now, I'm learning more community
engagement and I'm really enjoying it. And

197
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:11.200
we having a function in June where
I work with a lot of teenage moms

198
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.359
that are in school and what have
you, encouraging them and letting them know,

199
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.319
you know, yeah, you made
this mistake, but that mistake don't

200
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:26.960
define where your future goes. And
so we are doing an exhibit and showing

201
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:34.720
dads as well as mom teeny,
you know, nineteen and younger, but

202
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.400
showing where they you know, what
they look like back then with their baby

203
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:47.400
and where they are today. And
they're great success stories, great success stories,

204
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.880
and I'm really looking forward to that
in June. But I'm finding that

205
00:17:55.079 --> 00:18:00.720
it's nothing like serving the community in
some formal way of capacity by trying to

206
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:08.200
make life or things better for ever, you know, for everyone. We

207
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:15.559
do have to pray. We do
have to pray because there's a strong urge

208
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:22.880
and a need that we have to
We do have to protect each other and

209
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.680
look out for each other. And
constantly be on the rung, you know,

210
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.160
on our needs, praying for every
situation that goes on, whether it's

211
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:41.279
mine or yours. So my passion
becoming more of people and people oriented and

212
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.920
serving. I feel like I'm truly
learning what God has me for, and

213
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.319
that's serving his people. You know, He's served me, so now I'm

214
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:59.000
serving His people in a way or
capacity that He's allowing me to do it.

215
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.960
And I'm loving every day of it. I'm loving every day of it.

216
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:10.119
We're very good. I want to
go back to Trey when you're talking

217
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:15.240
about community engagement and you know,
getting people involved in how do you you

218
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:19.400
know? I mean it's it could
be as small as just getting some like

219
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:26.839
minded people together on a zoom call. And let's say you're in Virginia,

220
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.599
I'm here, we're here in in
Florida. We got somebody maybe over in

221
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:36.160
Missouri, Mississippi, and somebody's in
California. You know, we're representing at

222
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:41.200
least five states, five powerful states. Okay, and then we say,

223
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.160
okay, what would we like to
do as an example, Well, I'm

224
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:52.279
on the naacpeople my Babary University.
We have a student chapter and the most

225
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.319
of everybody's down there. I do
have one other person on the board that's

226
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.839
up here. She's going to the
law school, Burying Universe Law School,

227
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.200
so she's up here in Orlando with
me. Well, two Christmases ago,

228
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:11.559
no, two Thanksgivings ago that we
said we wanted to do some outreach,

229
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.839
but we're in two different cities,
you know, And so what we did

230
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.720
was, I said, well,
I'm gonna mirror what you all are doing

231
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:25.000
down there. And sure enough,
at one of the at the President's jobs

232
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.880
she works at the school, she
had a box and if anybody wanted to

233
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.960
give food in the box, you
know, you could do that. And

234
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.720
then for Christmas, we chose to
deal with the domestic violence shelter, and

235
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.559
so we had she gathered some toys. She collected some toys, and then

236
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.839
the young lady and I went shopping
up here for toys. I got a

237
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:48.680
couple of checks from some of my
sponsors, and we went shopping and purchased

238
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.680
and so we gave those donations to
our shelter up here, while they gave

239
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:57.759
to the shelter down in Miami.
So you can start somewhere there, you

240
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:02.640
know, and be awareness. We
come up with a flyer, just a

241
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.880
one page flyer, and we put
on all of our social We put it

242
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.359
on all of our social media.
That's the goal. Just put it on

243
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:14.039
all our social media and hopefully somebody
will share it, you know, on

244
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.759
their social media. You know,
it could be as small as that.

245
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.160
I think that's why. And I'm
not preferring a you trade. But there

246
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.720
are a lot of people I meet
along the way that do have great ideas,

247
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:29.839
but they're stuck because they're thinking it's
I could only implement it this way,

248
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:34.599
and you be surprised as to how
you can implement something you know,

249
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:38.920
and you don't need money. That's
another thing, just a little side,

250
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.640
little commercial here for your nonprofits out
there. My sponsors are my doctors,

251
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:52.480
my surgeons, and some of my
spiritual daughters. They're my sponsors. If

252
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.279
I need something, I call it, and Tommy's one of them as well.

253
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.559
I need something, I'm collecting books
or collecting socks. Next thing,

254
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.960
you know, I's dropping off a
bag full of southing so you don't have

255
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.839
to go out and get you know, a whole bunch of people involved.

256
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.640
Look, we could do a lot
with three people. Our board, I

257
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.640
naa board We're only consists of four
people, only four of us, and

258
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.960
two, like I said, are
down south, that two are here.

259
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.839
So whatever you have on your heart
to do. And I know you and

260
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.200
I have talked about a couple of
things too. You know, let's let's

261
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.480
just make it happen. Let's plan
it out and make it happen. You

262
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.880
know, because you are, you
are the leader. You're the only contender

263
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:37.599
as far as I'm concerned with domestic
violence, You're the only one. You

264
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.759
only because I know what you can
do. Set you lead it, set

265
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:42.519
you loose, set you free,
or I know what you can do.

266
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:47.039
We could take we could take the
United States. I know what you could

267
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.759
do. This girl's bad to the
ball. She quiet, she quiet,

268
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.119
She thinks she don't have much to
say. But you wait till she get

269
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.759
a project in her hand. Okay, I know because I've worked it.

270
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.839
I've watched her and I worked along. I've been there, I've watched her,

271
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.039
and I've seen what she could do
in our community and in my hometown,

272
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.000
Pobbish County, our hometown. Amen, And I know what Tommy can

273
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.559
do. Tommy is gonna be bad
to the ball with this new job,

274
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:17.000
because they don't even know what they
have amongst them. They're just think,

275
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.720
oh, she's quiet, she's friendly. Okay, No, you give Tommy

276
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:22.880
a project, I promise you she'll
run with it and be like, but

277
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.720
where'd she go? Was? What? What aren't we supposed to do?

278
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:32.200
Now you know I got it and
they see you know it's done, So

279
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:37.920
we want I would want to encourage
people who are listeners out there, don't

280
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:44.079
stop. This is the time,
says twenty twenty. Especially, this has

281
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.039
been the time. If you've got
an idea, if you've got a business

282
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.279
that you want to implement, or
a project that you want to do with

283
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:56.079
a special population, this has been
the last three years has been your time.

284
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.880
I'm telling you, it's been your
time. Go do what you have

285
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.079
to do. You need, you
need to get more education. You shouldn't

286
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.000
get that when president former President Obama
was in place, because he was letting

287
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.880
everybody go to school. Everybody could
go to school, even men raising their

288
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:17.160
children could go to school. So
y'all kind of missed that. And I

289
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.880
don't know why you did, but
you did, some of you, and

290
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:25.200
that now now here we are,
you may have an idea for I mean,

291
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:29.559
you'd be surprised, and don't take
my word for it. Watch Shark

292
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:37.640
Tank. Watch Shark Tank. These
people come up with a I mean porter

293
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.359
potty, not porter potty potty,
something potty. And all that is is

294
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.079
a little gadget that goes you know, you put your feet up on.

295
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.640
I might gonna get any grotesque here, but you're in the bathroom, right

296
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:55.119
and there's a stool and it really
helps you to be productive in the bathroom.

297
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.079
It was a mother, it was
a son and a mother that came

298
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:02.519
up with it. Lorie gre their
jumped on it and it's in every bed,

299
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.640
bath and beyond. It was on
her show. Um um, I

300
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.880
forgot what it's called. Um where
you sell things? Is a qbcb QBC

301
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:17.839
Yes, yes, sold out and
I mean it became millionaires almost overnight when

302
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.599
she she came on board. I'm
telling you, I'm telling you watch that

303
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:26.599
way. If that don't encourage you, then you know what you just you

304
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.920
know, just just go back to
being a dreamer and stay right there,

305
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:36.440
because if that's the show. They
come up with some things from gluten free

306
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:41.960
popcorn, to gluten free food for
dogs and cats, to uh, how

307
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.480
to carrying the baby and a pouncho
thing that will wrap us a swaddling thing

308
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:52.839
and all that. You be surprised
at the ideas people have and they and

309
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.400
when they're chosen to be to go
on to you know, shark tank.

310
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.519
I mean, it's just it's amazing
because you said they're like and you know

311
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.200
what that would be a good idea. One guy created a little thing that

312
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.799
goes between your seats. He said, are you mad about you know all

313
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.680
the time you try to have your
change and you change to be falling out

314
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.960
your hand and everything was falling out
your pocket. Well there's a thing he

315
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.599
created that goes between your seat and
you and your console and to catch anything

316
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.799
that's going Ain't nothing going to the
floor. Nothing going to the floor.

317
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.920
Little little little thing, little square
thing. But this but this is why.

318
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.759
But this tall and it's black and
probably buying the different colors of a

319
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:37.160
guy who attached with him. You
know. So a little girl came out.

320
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.359
She wanted she has a special lemonade. She had a lemonade stand and

321
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.519
she came on to the show.
And even though I don't think she at

322
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.079
first, I don't think she got
any of the sponsors, but damon,

323
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.240
John got up and said, you
know what, I tell you what I

324
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.599
whatever. What is it that when
you came back here for a one hundred

325
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:57.240
and fifty thousand, I'll give it
to you. I'll do it. I'll

326
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.079
do that deal. He had to
get up in it because they had it

327
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.039
all was out. All the sharks
said no, no, you know you're

328
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.119
too early as too. You know
it's in an embryotic stage. You know,

329
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.200
when you do some more because you're
doing well. She had great sales.

330
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:15.920
They packaged the lemonade, they packaged
the lemonade, lemonade from a lemonade

331
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:22.200
stand. And then Damon got the
show going off and the father and I

332
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.000
mean that I think it was her
father with her. They were walking back

333
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.240
down and give it, and David
said, wait a minute, uh no,

334
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.039
no, because I used to be
that little girl. I used to

335
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.480
be that little girl. And he
said, let me, I'll do that

336
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.480
for you. I'll do the deal. And they're like, okay, thank

337
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.599
you, yep. And then a
lot of times Damon had said, you

338
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.480
know what, you don't need us
right now. You really don't need us.

339
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:45.279
You're doing good. Keep your product
on on online, don't go to

340
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.920
a brick and mortar keep it online, you know, but I'll be your

341
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.279
customer. I promise you that.
And that's all Damon had to say.

342
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.559
And the business just took off,
just took off. So you know,

343
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.759
you could be encouraged. Right now, I'm watching, um, what's the

344
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:07.559
show Next Level Chef and these miscellaneous
chefs that Gordon Ramsey has put this show

345
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.799
out there. These people have applied
for it. They are and then their

346
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.799
titles are social media chefs. These
people went on their their TikTok or went

347
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.079
on their YouTube, created a little
channel because people say, oh you could

348
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.960
really cook, you need to go
on TV or something. That's all it

349
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:27.640
took. They're called social media chefs. And now they're gonna have an opportunity.

350
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.480
Need to ring two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars and be in one of

351
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:37.880
Gordon's restaurants. Average Joe that just
could, that can cook, Average Joe,

352
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:42.480
average Janette that can cook. That's
it, you know, So it's

353
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.759
out there, but you've got to
just go. You got to you know,

354
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:52.440
you just got to leap. You
have to leap. Many billionaires will

355
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.680
tell you when they first got their
start, if it wasn't a silver if

356
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.680
they weren't born with a silver spoon
in their mouth. They had hundreds of

357
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.200
No, no way, that's stupid, that's crazy. You stupid. You

358
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.799
need to go get a job.
You need to stop that. But did

359
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:14.640
they stopped that? They let that
stop them. No. I never wanted

360
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.319
to be in private practice. I
wanted I'm boost to the ground type of

361
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.480
social worker. I want to be
that arm and all of my clients on

362
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:23.680
the ground. I get married and
moved to Orlando. I'm at the doctor

363
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:30.200
sports doctor offense to get my oldest
son his sports physical and here's this young

364
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.519
lady. She goes, are you
a therapist or something? Out of nowhere?

365
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.359
I had nothing, all, nothing
to say that. I looked just

366
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.400
like I was like, how did
you know? Well? She had to

367
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:44.440
gift the prophecy, that was one
thing. And she said, have you

368
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.599
ever dealt with add and ADHD?
I said, in kids, no,

369
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.279
adults, yes, But ADHD was
kind of new to me twenty one years

370
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:57.720
ago. ADHD and ad D was
new to me, believe it or not,

371
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:03.400
twenty one years. I've been a
twenty one twenty two years okay.

372
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.240
And she said, well, all
three of my children have it. Would

373
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.000
you agree? Would you would you
work with me? I said, well,

374
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.279
I'm not. I'm not a clinical
I'm not licensed as a social worker.

375
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:18.000
She said, well, would you
you take something and I can pay

376
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:19.160
you out of pocket? I said, well, I could give you a

377
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.640
slightly fee scale. I'm sitting there
like I can't believe this. And I

378
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:27.319
began doing home business in her home
and seeing her kids an hour of peace

379
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:36.519
in their home. All I had
to do is say yes. It came

380
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:41.599
to me and thanks to her three
kids, I became a specialist and that

381
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:47.720
Lanta working at Children's Medical Services me
and in between time, the same mom

382
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.960
introduced me to a gentleman who was
an African American. He's a licensed clinical

383
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.279
social worker out of New York.
I met with him. We went over

384
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:57.640
to see him, mad see him. I said, well, they forgot

385
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.799
to ask if I was licensed.
They knew he was licensed, and we

386
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:07.200
were getting checks, we were getting
paid and I wasn't even licensed, and

387
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:15.319
they gave a space in their building. Weakly, you have a heart for

388
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.640
people, have a heart to want
to see people change. Well, in

389
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.880
order for you to have a heart
to see people change, you need to

390
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.960
be a change agent. You need
to be changing you need to be that

391
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.319
model. You need to have people
say, God, you know what,

392
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:36.160
I want to be just like you. I want to be like you know,

393
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:37.680
you don't want my shoes. I
bring my shoes with me. I

394
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.279
don't leave my shoes behind. You
ain't got no shoes to feel when I

395
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.200
leave, So bring your own shoes. Make sure that everybody's sides because you're

396
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:48.079
gonna be walking. They're gonna be
running sometimes too. Okay, you're gonna

397
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.559
be skating all kinds of stuff.
I take my shoes with me, you

398
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.000
know, And then you look at
your children and you're like, wow,

399
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.119
Well, BJ is a todler.
He liked to take the pots out and

400
00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:01.319
beat on him. Today he is
doing beats. And the music that you

401
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:08.000
hear on our intro was created by
my son in his room and now he

402
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:14.839
does beats for people. My oldest
son came out with doing graphic design,

403
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:21.279
drawing and everything, very creative.
His hope is to work with dolphins and

404
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:28.599
and in the future, but staking
that same creativity and reaching that population that

405
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:35.599
is a poet animal population. My
daughter of all people created, she's two

406
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:37.759
years old, walking and everything,
and she was we were feeding in one

407
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.920
morning and she go in her room
and she come out and with a different

408
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:44.880
outfit on, and I'm like,
and they weren't purchased together. And I'm

409
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:46.759
looking at this girl. I'm like, oh Lord, and I'm not a

410
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:50.920
mother with her head in the sand. Okay. So I'm looking at add

411
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.680
Adhd because he was too hyper.
To me. She would eat, take

412
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:55.680
a bite, and go in the
room, changing clothes, come out,

413
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.400
had fifty different outfits on, and
I'm like, but you don't have he

414
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:05.079
ain't hyper. She's just casually walking
in the room. Now, she's getting

415
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.559
ready to be a fashion designer.
She's in beauty college. She's doing all

416
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:12.599
kinds of things. And all my
kids can wear any type of color.

417
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.240
I didn't have them be my boys
and just navy blues and stuff like that.

418
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:21.640
They can wear any color. So
parents, look at your children and

419
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:24.480
it's if it's worth investing. All
it takes is just what person. My

420
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.960
daughter was asking me something today,
I said, well we could. I

421
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.559
brought up Tommy's name, and I
said, we can ask called one of

422
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:32.559
my spiritual daughters to help you out
with that. Just give him a call.

423
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.000
People who I know, and I
believe, am I speaking for these

424
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:43.119
two ladies. But these two ladies
I think they know me well enough that

425
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.960
if they need help with something,
give me a call. I may not

426
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.559
be able to do it, but
I could get you two or three references

427
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:52.920
I can. I can refer you
to somebody. You know. That's all

428
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.400
it takes. It's just that.
And another thing it takes is not telling

429
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:02.480
everybody your business. I have a
building now, but I'm not gonna show

430
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:07.480
you pictures of it on Facebook because
then everybody ain't for me, can't show

431
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.920
you my new sign, not gonna
do it. And now God's got all

432
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.320
the prophets saying keep your business he
set. So that's another thing too.

433
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:21.559
You can't tell everybody everything, whether
it's a blessing from God or an idea,

434
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:22.840
just run with it. Let them
look back and said, well,

435
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:25.239
why did you do that. There's
a lady that says to me every time

436
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:28.960
she caught me about my last my
marrit last night. She goes night and

437
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.719
every time we look up, you
may mention something, but you've don't done

438
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:36.199
something, and then you're back at
it's like, how did she she knows

439
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:38.000
me just that? Well, next
thing you know, she I'm over here.

440
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.880
Next thing I'm doing this over here
because God's telling me go over there

441
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.440
and do that. Go over there. I did my whole stamp of PTA

442
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:52.039
PTSA on behalf of my kids.
I didn't. I didn't need nothing to

443
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.480
know nothing, no honorable mentions and
accommodations on my resume. I wanted to

444
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.480
know what legislative league was coming down
the pike in education for my kids,

445
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:05.360
so I won't be caught off guard
like some parents have been. I knew

446
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.920
laws that were just came about hot
off the press before they even hit the

447
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:13.880
newspaper. We knew about it.
That's why you're joined the PTA, the

448
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:20.079
PTSA, not PTO. Whole different
show anyway. PTA. Oh yeah,

449
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:23.599
because you in Florida. We got
thirty thousand voices. We come thirty thousand

450
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:30.400
strong. But look what it did
got me. Some accommodations, got me

451
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:34.960
in front of other people that I
normally wouldn't have met, school board people.

452
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:37.960
People are not asking me to run. No, no, don't leave

453
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:39.280
me alone on because that's too much
fool listeners. No, y'all, y'all

454
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:44.440
ain't ready for me. I'm autling
it to myself. Unfortunately, I have

455
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:49.159
to stay over here. I'll be
in the shadows. But I'm watching amen.

456
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.760
So you have to do what you
have to do. But it's not

457
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:58.599
don't don't you make it this big
thing. It's not that big. Give

458
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:01.119
me. I want to host my
own up shops. I'm trying to find

459
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:06.840
up a space that i can do
it in easy to do, to pull

460
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:09.199
people together. But we need to
have them consistent. We don't need to

461
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.559
have them once every three months.
Six months. We didn't have a monthly.

462
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:15.679
I want to have a monthly.
I ain't trying to make no dot

463
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.880
no money, but I'm gonna do
more than break even. It's fair,

464
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:23.199
all right, asked Alicia. She's
cookie, she's a chef. Now,

465
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:27.039
I said, you ready to take
on. We're doing a pop up shopper.

466
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:29.159
You be the only chef. You
be the on cook on ground.

467
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:36.239
She said yes, ma'am. I
said, okay, sometimes you gotta push,

468
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:42.280
You gotta push yourself and stop hold
them back. Come on, ladies,

469
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:45.039
y'all on mutants and let's talk.
Come on, what you what you're

470
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:50.119
gonna tell the audience to do?
Come on now, okay, come on,

471
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:55.559
now, you covered a lot of
grounds. I mean you you really

472
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:01.239
um and they said you the motivated
of the day because I mean, you

473
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:09.440
are pushing and and you know what, and I think society could really use

474
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:15.239
that. We're in And we were
just talking about this the other day at

475
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:22.800
work. We're in so often like
our young men out here that are selling

476
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:28.039
drugs and what have you. These
are awesome businessmen. They're just using it

477
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:36.320
the wrong direction. And they they
left it up to saying, well,

478
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.519
this person didn't give me an opportunity. That person didn't give me an opportunity.

479
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:45.519
Create your own opportunity. What you
think about these people that started making

480
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:52.480
their CDs and recondence selling at the
truck of They call this You have to

481
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:59.400
create. You have to create your
own destiny. God gave you the vision

482
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:06.159
and the understanding of what you can
do, your skills and your craw Now

483
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:13.880
create your own, you know,
just like so many them, the artists,

484
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:19.440
they started making their own, you
know, buying a home and putting

485
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:23.800
the studio in their home. They
don't have to pay for studio time no

486
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:30.119
more. They are. They're pulling
people in. They paying them for studio

487
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:37.000
time. Might not charge what others
were charging, but it's creating your own.

488
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:43.159
I mean, I don't care for
the music. But Jay z And

489
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:50.280
and those moguls, they created their
own. They took wrap and took it

490
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:55.320
to a whole another level. So
it's not all about being on the basketball

491
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:00.599
court. Everybody's not gonna be out
there. Everybody's not gonna be drafted,

492
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:06.119
everybody not gonna be on the football
field. But I guarantee you you have

493
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:12.320
a gift that you can render to
this earth and you would be successful.

494
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:20.119
Now we imagine success by you having
this multimillion dollar house and all these fine

495
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:28.559
calls. Success is being able to
provide you and your family being able to

496
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:31.239
go from day to day every nine
Yeah, you might step out and go

497
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:36.880
have a nice steak or meal or
whatever the case may be, but you

498
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:47.800
are able to provide y'are not struggling. That's success in life because every entrepreneur

499
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:55.079
and whatever have had a point of
trying to survive. They just had to

500
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:00.880
climb up that mountain in order to
get to the top. But you have

501
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.760
to keep going for it. You
don't let because that mountain look that high,

502
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:10.199
It don't mean I can't climb it. It means you still can't climb

503
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:19.039
it. So my encouragement is what
missus Gray just laid on you go.

504
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.800
Let's be like Niken, just do
it, just do it for it and

505
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:30.159
if it takes little by little,
grow just grow, just grow, Do

506
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:36.119
a little bit here, a little
bit there, and continue on. Yeah,

507
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:38.719
that's what it takes. You don't
need to go see The Error Show

508
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:45.400
Air movie with Michael Jordans. I
am not a Michael Jordan fan, never

509
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.039
was. I give it to his
props. Yes, he's a good athlete.

510
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.920
I appreciate it. I saw this
movie because of Viola Davis in it,

511
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:59.800
when Tom Wayne and the Wayning brothers, um uh this. I like

512
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.880
actors and actresses that are in it. So I wanted to go see because

513
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:05.960
I wanted to see, wait a
minute, why is this show? And

514
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.400
the God kept pushing me, you
need to go see it. We went

515
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:14.400
to see that show. That movie
had no idea, talk about an idea,

516
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.800
an idea And I'm not giving none
of the party. I'm uncle.

517
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:21.400
You can tell you even a small
part of the movie because of to give

518
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:25.400
it away, but you need to
invest and go watch that movie and see

519
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:31.559
what Michael Jordan, missus Jordan did
you need to and you know you just

520
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:36.559
and and again you know I've told
I've shared with other people. I'm like,

521
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:38.480
well, you know, I don't
have any money. I only got

522
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:40.599
this coming in. I said,
well, you can cook, can't you.

523
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:45.559
Why don't you when you cook and
you get big pots, why don't

524
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:49.000
you cook and go and make sure
your neighbors are fed. Take up,

525
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:52.119
take up a plate to your neighbor, Take some dessert to your neighbor.

526
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:59.079
You never know. My daughter when
she was supposed to do this party,

527
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:00.840
this party, I didn't understand it
because I was like, if it's a

528
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.440
party that you can't really cater and
sell meals there. But she took her

529
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.400
stuff and she said, she texts
me. She said, mine's nothing going

530
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.280
on here. I said, well, come on home. And then the

531
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:12.639
Lord said no, tell her on
the way home because I thought she had

532
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.079
dipped it all of And I shared
this with y'all already, so I'm sorry

533
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:19.559
if you're hearing this again. But
I thought she had already, you know,

534
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:23.119
individualize the meals and the containers.
But she hadn't, because she just

535
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:27.079
put the foil back over everything.
And she said, so she told me.

536
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:29.519
She said no, I said the
lord. I called her. The

537
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:32.039
Lord said, just feed the homeless
on the way home. Just give the

538
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:36.239
food away. He'll bless you.
Give the food away. And so she

539
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:37.800
said, no, mind's all,
it's still in the pants, and like

540
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:40.440
I said, okay, bring it
home. She came home that night,

541
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:45.760
a little friend came with her and
she put she created Oh, I said,

542
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:47.480
can you make about twenty I see
the number twenty two? Can you

543
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:52.159
make twenty two plates? Twenty two
could carry containers. We made room in

544
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.320
the refrigerator, my son and I. In the next day we went out.

545
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:59.719
We put him in a box and
every place we everywhere we went,

546
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.199
if somebody was homeless, I'm like, are you're hungry? We put forks

547
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:05.840
in there. We put did we
put I don't think we gave water and

548
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:07.360
we had to give water. I
think I stopped it, got a little

549
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.840
thing of water and hand it out. We served that food that could have

550
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.960
been purchased as was supposed to be
purchased to twenty two. By twenty one,

551
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:21.280
homeless people had to go look for
him. Any other time you can

552
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:23.880
find homeless people on the street here. God told gave us a mandate to

553
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:27.320
do. And you know, the
devil pulls everybody homeless off the street.

554
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:31.039
Couldn't find him. We found people
tucked up in and are you hungry?

555
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:35.119
And my son got out and he
went underneath it and just handed everything.

556
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:39.079
You just never know, you just
never know it. Since then, she's

557
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:43.599
been blast. She started doing her
meals and stuff. She's been blast.

558
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.119
But God got your cover. God's
got your covering. He's given you.

559
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:52.679
Everybody was born with skills, gifts
and talents. And lastly, I'm gonna

560
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:59.599
say this that I went to see
Um Brown Brown, his last name is

561
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.800
Brown, Motivational Speaker, went to
see him in Washington, d C.

562
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:07.199
He was a Brown Les Brown,
thank you, and he said, you

563
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:13.719
know, you know here you are
on your deathbed and your your families around

564
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:19.960
your bed, but your hopes,
your dreams, your ideas all standing around

565
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.920
your death bed too, and say
look at you now we have to die

566
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:28.559
with you. And that's why the
wealthiest place in the world is a graveyard.

567
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:36.320
The wealthiest place in the world is
the graveyard. Why Because there was

568
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:40.079
a possible cure for cancer out there
somewhere. There's a possible cure for Luca's

569
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.880
out there somewhere, for cardioc heart
disease, for alopecia, Now, any

570
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:55.960
disease and disorder with that individual into
that ground. I don't want my gifts

571
00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:02.440
and dreams and hopes and miracles and
blessed should stand around my death bed and

572
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:07.199
said, now we now look,
you never activated us, you didn't put

573
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:12.199
us to work, you didn't believe
in yourself, and now we have to

574
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:17.440
die with you. Don't let that
be you. If we can encourage you

575
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:22.079
all to do anything. You've got
a dream, reach out to somebody,

576
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:27.360
reach out to somebody, call us
or to respond. You were on YouTube,

577
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.480
were on everything, send to me, an inbox, inbox me.

578
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:31.800
What do I do with this?
A gentleman just said to me the other

579
00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:34.639
day, he said, well,
you know now that I you know,

580
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:37.159
you're my customer and everything, maybe
you can help you with so grants.

581
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:39.400
I said, sir, everything you
do is not grant worthy. It's awful

582
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:43.599
profit. He said really, I
said, yeah, you would be an

583
00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:47.719
a bidding category. There's no unless
I wrapped up. And I stopped right

584
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:50.760
there because I said, no,
I can't do a wrap around service.

585
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.800
He wouldn't know what that is.
I said. He said, Oh,

586
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:57.159
everybody's always told me about ground And
said, yeah, everybody. Most of

587
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:02.440
them are wrong because or what you
do is all for profit. It's cash

588
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:07.840
based, but you can get into
the bidding and contract be a contractor for

589
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.079
situations. He said, wow,
nobody ever told me that. I said,

590
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:15.239
yeah, well you have to ask
the right person, because anybody to

591
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:16.840
put me to workers and no,
I can't do nothing for you that no,

592
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:23.039
thank you. You know, it's
so many opportunities through the government get

593
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:30.519
in contracts. I met a friend. They do. They put up TVs.

594
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:38.559
I say, have you ever thought
about teaching it? You don't hear?

595
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:45.679
You go through whatever it takes to
get yourself certified to be a teacher

596
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:50.719
of that art and start teaching it. And guess what I mean. They

597
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:52.920
don't even have to have a degree
to do that. That's what I know.

598
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:57.480
Provid her we can wrap around.
That's a wrap around service. The

599
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.840
training piece you got right training.
They could go out there and teach people

600
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.880
how to install air conditions and stuff. But you you could. We could

601
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:08.119
put a six week program, lifestyle
programmer. That's called a wrap around.

602
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:14.639
That's grantworthy. They could partner with
myself or somebody like trade with their own

603
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:19.800
your own nonprofit. We draw the
money down and see you rank the program

604
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:22.360
for the thing yeah, and you're
right. That's what we call wrap around

605
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:27.679
when we wrap something around what you
do and what you do. Amen,

606
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:30.880
well, guys, you know,
thank you, Yes, this I mean,

607
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.119
we got a couple of minutes more
and you know, anything you all

608
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.480
want to say to the audience out
there as a form of encouragement, just

609
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:44.360
don't stop. Because the world as
we know it's not here anymore. It's

610
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:47.679
not here anymore. And you've got
to create and be creative, and your

611
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:52.119
creativity has got to come out now. It's got to come out now.

612
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:55.840
And it's not what you think it
is. You. You you put this

613
00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:00.719
mountain and out you meet a mountain
out of a mole hill. You you've

614
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:05.199
added all this stuff and it don't
take that. Just talk it out with

615
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.360
somebody, just talking, just like
I did through with the gentleman. Just

616
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:13.000
talk it out with somebody, tray
anybody else, have anything else to say,

617
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:15.679
and then we're gonna close it out. Know who you? Yeah,

618
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:20.079
I was just gonna say, get
your little notebook, write your stuff down,

619
00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:23.400
write some questions down. You know
what what is your goal for your

620
00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:28.360
for your business? What do you
hope to get out of it? And

621
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:30.639
just be in tune to how you
feel when you're talking about your passion,

622
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:35.719
because your passion, when you're passionate
about something, it'll float. You don't

623
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:38.920
have to try to find the words
for it and reach out to somebody that

624
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:42.880
knows you know, you know,
don't know who knows somebody to you ask,

625
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:52.880
and just be mindful who you're sharing
it with. Let your discernment and

626
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:58.840
let your spirit guide you to those
you want to talk to. Talk to

627
00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:04.519
it maybe and around about way,
not giving direction, so that you found

628
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:09.239
out who people know or what they
may know that can share with you.

629
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:16.840
So be mindful of the company you
keep. That sound like a new show

630
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:22.079
anyway. That's our time, y'all. We're gonna see you next week,

631
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:27.280
same time, same station. In
the meantime, be preful, be careful,

632
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:31.440
be wise, see y'all. Take
care of by guys, my mind,

633
00:49:31.480 --> 00:50:04.280
God, life, wh
