They were young parents. They're twenty years old, 39 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: and here they are at thirty one. And then a 40 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: doctor had the nerve to tell them that, hey, listen, 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: don't plan a future for them. I mean literally, don't 42 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: plan a future.

So now 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: they think about the next four years, we're gonna start 46 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: planning the funeral. And at that time, they didn't really 47 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: know what civil cell was. They had no idea about 48 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: what it is to be a parent having a child 49 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: with SIVI sell and for them it was devastating. For 50 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: me as a child, not knowing what death meant, it 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: was just for me, it was like another day. They 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: told me, listen, we're gonna have to make some changes 53 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: according to your life. And then when I passed eleven 54 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: and I made to fifteen, I'm scared at this point 55 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: because I'm supposed to be out of here, and then 56 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: now you look at me today, I'm still here. So 57 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: I never believed in the mantra of hey, this is 58 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 2: it for you, And I didn't know at eleven years 59 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 2: old that was going to be a definition for my life, 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: like hey, you'll never make it. It really didn't have 61 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: an effect. All I had is chance. That's all everything 62 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: I did was based upon chance. I'm gonna take the 63 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 2: chance because you already told me that I wasn't gonna 64 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: make it past eleven. Now here I am at thirty nine. 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: I have a career, I'm doing this. But I also 66 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: realized one thing, Mac, there's somebody coming behind me. They 67 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 2: gonna tell the same thing too. 68 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: Talk to me about that. Because you're sickle cell, you 69 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: have sickle cell disease, a lot of other people out 70 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: there would come people who may see the disease, that 71 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: might illnesses that might be terminal, and they might go, hey, man, 72 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: I'm looking for the exit plan. I don't have a 73 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: future now. They're different stuff. You went past elevel and 74 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: you was fifteen. Did you play sports in high school? 75 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: Was you a social high school? How was you and 76 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: how truly? 77 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: I was playing sports and my dream was to play 78 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: in the NFL. That was my dream. And I was 79 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: a running back out of Texas. I was ranked and 80 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: I was this, it's really good at football. I loved it. 81 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: I love the strategy of football. Loved the game of football. 82 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: And when I was playing that doctor told my mother 83 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: when I was eleven, and my number in high school 84 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: was number eleven because I wore it with passion. Everything 85 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: I did was based upon the number eleven because that's 86 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: the number. Y'all told me. So we needed eleven yards. 87 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 2: I'm finna get these eleven yards, right, Everything didn't matter. 88 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: But did I just say? Well, I got kicked off 89 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: the team in high school my senior year, the year 90 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: I had the scholarships that were up for me to 91 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: go play collegeball, and they took it from me. And 92 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 2: the thing about that was it hurt me so hard. 93 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: I cried. I cussed the whole coaching staff off because 94 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: I've been in this one program. And then one player 95 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: comes in and tells the team doctor that I have 96 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: six sell and they snatched me off of it. So 97 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: now they didn't just take me off because I had 98 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: sickle cell. They took my future too. That's how I felt. 99 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: They took my future. And the thing about it was, 100 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: I made a decision at that moment in my own 101 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 2: mind that I would never let single cell take another 102 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: thing from me. Nothing will ever be taken from me 103 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: based upon my habit of having sickle sell. The team 104 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: doctor told my mother, he said, well, we're only doing 105 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 2: this out of side of cautions. My mother stood in 106 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: there and my father was sitting there, and my mother said, 107 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: why would you take something from somebody You wouldn't want 108 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 2: to take it from your children. It's my child. He said, well, 109 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: he could possibly die. Mother said this, and this is 110 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: why I take the chances that I take and the 111 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: things that I do, and how I respond. She said, 112 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 2: if he does die, he died doing something that he loved. 113 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 3: Right. 114 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: That was so important to me, which propelled me to 115 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: the next point of my life because I started doing 116 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: stand up at. 117 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: Nineteen, right, nineteen years old years old, nineteen ninety nine. 118 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: Who inspired you as a stand up?

How did you start to feel when you 159 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: start making people laugh? And then it started inspiring you 160 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: to say I can. 161 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: Do this too. 162 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 3: Correct. 163 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: Yes it was, you know, going up to stand up 164 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: ladder was for me with nothing but another challenge is 165 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: what it was. But it was something that I knew 166 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 2: at the point I had the gift to do the 167 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: challenges that I was facing at that point in time 168 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 2: in nineteen wasn't good. At nineteen, I just had about 169 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: three or four jokes. That's it. That's all I could do. 170 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: But I worked at it.
