35
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 5: you know that kind of thing. Yeah, my childhood it

36
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 5: was good. It was It was adventurous. And when I

37
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 5: say adventurous, you know, just me exploring myself, all parts

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 5: of me, you know, grow. I've always been who you

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: see right now since I was little, So that was interesting.

40
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: When I say who you see right now, openly gay,

41
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: unapologetic about it.

42
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: Made a lot of folks uncomfortable.

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 5: But I have to say that I'm now learning that

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 5: I freed a lot of people, so I'm excited about that.

45
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 5: It feels good to know that my journey has not

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 5: gone in vain. But my childhood was good overall. I

47
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 5: went to Tri Cities High School. Okay, bulldogs, Tri City Bulldogs,

48
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: that's it. But I was more like a pussy cat. No,

49
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 5: I know, I'm sorry, but I was. I was at

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: the school, you know, you had the bulldogs, but I

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 5: was always purring. But yes, I went to I went

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 5: to Tri City High School, performing arts school. And it's

53
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 5: funny because I've always been enamored by the arts.

54
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: Were you in drama? Like did you act and stuff

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: when you were in high school?

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. I was.

57
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 5: I was in the I was in the performing arts program.

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 5: But I didn't go to the school because of that.

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 5: That was just the school in my zip code. So

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 5: that's why I had to go.

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: And I did.

62
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 5: I was in chorus, I did drama, I did dance,

63
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 5: But I never acted as in my full potential when

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: I was a part of the performing arts primarily because

65
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 5: you know, I would shy away from, you know, being

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 5: center stage, because.

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I had that thing in my head like, oh child, they.

68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 5: Go these people, they ain't gonna accept me. I'm too bad,

69
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: so I would run away from it.

70
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: You know.

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 5: I actually as well as I say, I fell poor

72
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 5: as my senior.

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Junior arts saying yes, because I was skipping school. I was.

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: I can't, you know.

75
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 5: But I did pick up some things while I was

76
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: a part of the performing arts program. And it's funny

77
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 5: because that was my very first passion, singing, dancing, acting,

78
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 5: all of that. But again I shied away from the

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: ostracides and I got into the beauty industry.

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: I've always loved the beauty industry. I love beauty. I

81
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: love beauty on women.

82
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: I love what it does to Black women and how

83
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 5: they feel after they are touched all of that, And

84
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 5: so I got into the beauty and street. And I

85
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: remember starting literally on school. But I would be on

86
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 5: the school bustle with some of my best friends back

87
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 5: in the day and like they say, they had dog.

88
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Are you from Atlanta? Right?

89
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you remember the Pink Fox back of the day

90
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: that has so my girlfriend, and they would.

91
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Go to the Pink Fox or to set it off.

92
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 5: And so when they had would get old, I would

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: be like, oh, let me try and fix it back

94
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 5: up how it was.

95
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: And I would do that on the school but.

96
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: So you would be like practicing.

97
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: I would be practicing, and so it literally really just

98
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 5: turned into this thing.

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: My mama.

100
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: My mama never wore like that type of hair. My

101
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 5: mama always thought yah, she always thought she was classy,

102
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: so she wore like.

103
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: A U Shin Young. But I was playing her hair

104
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: all the time.

105
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: So I knew that was another gift that I had,

106
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 5: and I just kind of got more into that as

107
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 5: I was, and.

108
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 6: That transformed you into the How can I say it

109
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 6: the hair guru that you are now because you're like

110
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 6: you're like you're crazy with it, like I've been to

111
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 6: fucking almost every salon that you worked, and.

112
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: Like you're the truth.

113
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Well, let me say I am not retired.

114
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 5: I've been retired from the beauty industry now for I

115
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: think eight years. No, yeah, from the salon industry. Let

116
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: me say the salon industry. I will always be a

117
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 5: part of the beauty industry and it always be a

118
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 5: part of me. But no, I retired from that about

119
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 5: eight years ago because as I got into film and television,

120
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: it was hard to continue to do both.

121
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 6: So do you still do it on a professional level

122
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 6: for the film and television or you just completely stopped

123
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 6: doing it totally.

124
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 5: I'm an actor, aut me. Hey, they don't even know

125
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: who she's sitting up here with.

126
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 6: No, No, I know you're acting, but I know, like

127
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 6: when when something like you said, when the beauty thing

128
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 6: is your passion, Like even if.

129
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: My first passion, remember.

130
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 5: Was the arts, and I became so very good in

131
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: the beauty industry that it garnered me a certain clientele

132
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 5: that put me on television rooms that brought me back

133
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 5: to the arts. So it's came a full circle moment,

134
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. And so my message to

135
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: people all the time is, you know, nurture the gifts

136
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: that that you've been given. You know, share it, don't

137
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 5: be selfish with it, and pour into other people, because

138
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 5: that is the thing that will make room for you.

139
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: I thought I would be doing half forever, you know,

140
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 5: I literally thought I would be doing half forever.

141
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: And you know, from.

142
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 5: Doing hair on Housewives of Atlanta to becoming a fan

143
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 5: favorite as a personality, to having.

144
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: And Serena Williams, that was so long ago.

145
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: It did.

146
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 5: Enough to know that I never wanted to be a

147
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 5: celebrity hairstylist. I was a celebrated hairstyle before I retire.

148
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 5: I always said I was a celebrated hairstylist that did

149
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: some celebrities. But I found joy and pleasure in servicing

150
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 5: my everyday women, my everyday corporate professionals, my hot girls,

151
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: you know, all of them. You know, I had a

152
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 5: very wide range of clients, and that is a thing

153
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 5: literally that got me into film and television. Yeah, okay,

154
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 5: and so as I was trying to do both, and

155
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 5: I did both for a long time when Andy Cohen

156
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: offered me my show on.

157
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Bravo Fashion Queens.

158
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: Yes, we shot in New York, and I was going

159
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: to and from New York every single week. I would

160
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: leave the salon on a Thursday, get on a nine

161
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 5: pm flight, go shoot on Fridays on a six am,

162
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: to be back at the salon at eight am on

163
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 5: a Saturday. And I did that during the entire duration

164
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 5: of Fashion Queens and then Fast Dynamic do about that.

165
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: That's my heart me Bebby and Derek j and Fast Forward.

166
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 5: I got offered the opportunity to be to have a

167
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 5: guest appearance on Empire, and that led to me having

168
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 5: that led me to being on Star and I literally

169
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 5: I tried to juggle both still being, you know, given

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: one hundred percent to the salon and my team and

171
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 5: my clients, and I started to get sick.

172
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: I was tired.

173
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna ask you. Did that not

174
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: burn you out?

175
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: Real bad, real bad? Hey? Did you have the like

176
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: coming up you say you always been this way?

177
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: Right?

178
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: Did you have to fight with other boys? Because you know.

179
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: I never because let me tell you what's funny, I

180
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: never got I never I don't.

181
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: Have a bullying story. I don't.

182
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 5: I don't have a bullying story, and I don't know what.

183
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 5: I don't know what you know made me so special?

184
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: I think because you know my upbringing, I didn't really

185
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 5: I ain't have to take much from people. Of course,

186
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: you know, you go get teased regardless. I don't think

187
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: being teased got anything to do with being gay or straight,

188
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 5: because everybody.

189
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Gets teased, right, so you name it. I've heard every gay.

190
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 5: Slur, all of that, all that, all that foolishness, but

191
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: you know it didn't, it didn't. It didn't really bother me.

192
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 5: You know, I ain't no no other way to be.

193
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 5: But if any.

194
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: Time someone did step to me, I had no problem

195
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: with hand them on my own. And I have, but I.

196
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: Don't have a story of always having to fight my

197
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 5: way out or something.

198
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't have that.

199
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: Now.

200
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 5: I have had some incidents, you know, that were very

201
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 5: dangerous here and there, but overall, I don't have a

202
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 5: fighting type of story.

203
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: I don't have that.

204
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 5: And I think what I can what I can I

205
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: can contribute that to is that I think people are

206
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: fascinated by people that are just one hundred percent authentic, right,

207
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 5: I don't second gainst myself, every move I made, every

208
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 5: room I walk into or walk out of. I am

209
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 5: intentional about every step, even when I was a child,

210
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: even as a teenager. And I think that that garners

211
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: a certain level of intimidation by other people. I don't

212
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 5: mean to, I don't mean to intimate anybody, but I

213
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 5: think it garners a certain level of intimidation where people

214
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: are a little less luckedant to, you know, try to

215
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 5: try to try me. In so many words, try to

216
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 5: try me. I remember somebody told me. I heard somebody

217
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 5: say a long time ago, somebody might this is when

218
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: I was younger, somebody probably wanted to do some bullying

219
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 5: type shit, and they was like, do you see how

220
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 5: that motherfucker come out the house. That bitch ain't scared

221
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 5: of nobody. You don't mess with people like that, you know.

222
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: And so that.

223
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: That was my upbringing, and I carried I carried that

224
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 5: that energy everywhere.

225
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: I carried it everywhere.

226
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 5: But what I carried the most was, you know, I

227
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 5: grew up my mother was you know, I grew up

228
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 5: in church. And one thing my mother did teach me

229
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 5: was that God is your protector, he is your healer,

230
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 5: he is your provider. He's all of those things as

231
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 5: long as you serve him. And that's what I grew

232
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 5: up that way, So I ain't never been scared of

233
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 5: nothing on nobody. I ain't never been scared of nothing

234
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 5: of nobody. I'm actually more. I'm actually more. Let me say,

235
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 5: what is the word I'm looking for? Cautious of the

236
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 5: people that smile with you that I am strangers.

237
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let.

238
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 6: Me ask you a question, in your honest opinion, like

239
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 6: having to deal with all walks of life and like

240
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: all types of different people, especially like with your film

241
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 6: industry thing that you're doing with like your magnificent acting and.

242
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: All that kind of shit, what is it that you.

243
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 6: Think kind of like makes people homophobic. Do you think

244
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 6: it's a fear of the unknown, or do you think

245
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 6: that some people are just closed minded and don't understand

246
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 6: so they don't try to understand.

247
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,359
Speaker 1: It's false teachings.

248
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: It's the way most of us is raised, especially as

249
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 5: black people, right, you know, people, most of us were

250
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: taught out of the Bible, and people have taken their

251
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: perception teachers of the Bible, meaning some pastors, some preachers

252
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: have taken the teachings excuse me, have taken their perception

253
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 5: of what the Bible says and what the Scripture says

254
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: and planted it in our heads.

255
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: Basically laid their own interpretation.

256
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 5: Onto And I think people have grown up with this idea,

257
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 5: and not that I think, I know a lot of

258
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 5: us have grown up with this idea that to be

259
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: this way or to be that way is wrong.

260
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: To be gay is wrong.

261
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: To be pregnant before you're a certain age, before you're

262
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 5: married is wrong. You know, to curse, to use cuss

263
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 5: words is wrong. All, you know, all a lot of

264
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: foolishness teachings that people have read in the Bible and

265
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: have decided that they want to teach it from their

266
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 5: perspective of the Word instead of people, instead of people

267
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 5: reading it and studying it from them for themselves and

268
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 5: learning God and feller guys for themselves and what He

269
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: means to you. And I say this all the time,

270
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 5: is it is written to study and show thy self approve.

271
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 5: And when you actually study for yourself, and then when

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 5: you walk along your journey, then you and you and

273
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 5: you interpret it the way that God speaks to you,

274
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 5: the way the Holy Spirit speaks to you. You can

275
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 5: then teach and spread the gospel. But if you've not

276
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: study for yourself and understood and learning for yourself, you're

277
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 5: only going to lean to man's understanding of what word

278
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 5: of what the Word is. And when I say man,

279
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 5: I do mean some of the pastores, some of the preachers,

280
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: some of our evangelists.

281
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: That we've grown up listening to.

282
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: And so if you're yeah, and if you're out, they

283
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 5: don't again this listen you. We would have to go

284
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 5: all the way back to our beginning. Yeah, to fix

285
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 5: it well, first, to understand it, then to do what

286
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 5: go out and share it, go out and spread the gospel.

287
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 5: And when you go out and spread the gospel, we

288
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 5: don't need the people that's in church every day.

289
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: That ain't who we need. We need people like us

290
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: in this room.

291
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 5: You know, when you learn something new, when you learn

292
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: a new when you learn or when you get a

293
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 5: new revelation about what the Word is or who God

294
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: is to you and how God has shown up for

295
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 5: you and how God wants to use you.

296
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: That's what a real teaching is.

297
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: Testimony.

298
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and not based on what man has taught you.

299
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 5: In my opinion, it's great. Respective No, I don't know.

300
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: I just I feel like it's whatever you feel. If

301
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 5: you don't feel it, you don't feel it, it could

302
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 5: be the bible that could run any of it.

303
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: If you don't feel it, you don't feel it, you know,

304
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: you know?

305
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I feel like we all got something in

306
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 5: us that we know right some time we go against

307
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 5: it for what the ship that we've been talking, No

308
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,360

00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: know when you're doing something when it don't feel right?

313
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 5: That is what I'm saying. Let me let me say

Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, you being gay or whatever

318
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: you said, like what else what I.

319
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: Was supposed to do? You know?

320
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: No way?

321
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: So you feel like that's what you're supposed to be, right,

322
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying.

323
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 5: If you do, if you if you trying to cover

324
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 5: it up and mass it up, you would know you

325
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: feel wrong by trying to cover it up. Man, it's

326
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 5: exactly and it's written to my Bible told us to

327
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 5: thine own self be true.

328
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, to dye own self be true.

329
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: So it's the babble. What you say the Bible is

330
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: a contradiction.

331
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I won't say that because it's it's again, it's

332
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 5: based on your interpretation and how how the Holy Spirit

333
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 5: speaks to you. See, people will sit in church, and

334
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 5: I don't want to make this whole thing about church

335
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: and all that, but people will sit there and you

336
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: will let a pastor or preacher whoever that may be

337
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: dealing with their own convictions, teach you something and you

338
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 5: take that word for it, opposed to going to studying

339
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 5: it yourself. Take that word for it, and then you

340
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 5: go out and you go spread the same message that

341
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: they spread, you know, opposed to you, you know, and

342
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 5: enlightening yourself.

343
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

344
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 5: But something you say, you said, what feels right and

345
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: what doesn't feel right?

346
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: You know, you always get you know.

347
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, that's so I was answer for like a

348
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 5: like a like an example, like like a context type thing.

349
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: I think what he's saying is like you, like they

350
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: always say, God is within you. I think what he's

351
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: saying is like that, feeling the right and wrong and

352
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: all this. You don't necessarily need text book, And I

353
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: ain't trying to speak for you, but you don't need

354
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: textbook to tell you what's right and wrong. You do

355
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: and and feel right and when you feel wrong, regardless

356
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: of religion.

357
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: You know what.

358
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 5: That's called intuition. It's also called discernment.

359
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: Common to you by the most High. That's it, that's

360
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: what that's that's where I'm at with it.

361
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: That's it.

362
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 5: Let me tell you what I go by, because see,

363
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 5: we could get caught up into all that what's wright

364
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 5: and what's wrong. At the end of the day, how

365
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 5: do you serve? Do you give your brother close on

366
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 5: his back when he's naked, food when he's hungry, and

367
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 5: water when he's thirsty at the end of the day,

368
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 5: because that comes from the heart, and that's what you judged.

369
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 5: Though you're judged on how you serve, and only judged

370
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: by him on how you serve.

371
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: All the rest of that stuff goes out there.

372
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 5: When we can sit here and somebody gay, we can

373
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 5: call somebody a prostitute, we can call somebody this, call

374
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 5: them that judge them, which we're not supposed to based

375
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: on all of those things. But at the end of

376
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 5: the day, when it's all said and done, and when

377
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 5: that when judgment day comes, right, guess what you're gag

378
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: because that same queen, a gay person or whatever, a

379
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 5: prostitute or whatever. We'll make it in before you do.

380
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 5: Guess what, because that person stood in their own assignment

381
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 5: and you don't know if that stripper might have been

382
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 5: in there, that stripper could have saved somebody soul one

383
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 5: night in the in the strip club.

384
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: You never know.

385
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 5: And because of that, and because of that, God gonna

386
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 5: say servant, well done.

387
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: At the end of the day.

388
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: Come on up, Yeah, what part of it not?

389
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Are you're from? He said? Okay, I didn't.

390
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 5: I got a few cousins that that was that's from

391
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 5: out there, but not a whole lot.

392
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: Use more Westside in Eastport.

393
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah okay.

394
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 6: So another thing that I wanted to know is while

395
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 6: you were doing hair and doing beauty and while you

396
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 6: had your salon, how did you balance all of the

397
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 6: different people personalities and attitudes that you had to deal

398
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 6: with while you were doing people's hair.

399
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: You mean the clients are my staff? Like what you

400
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: mean everybody.

401
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 5: Everybody, well, I think in all, in any business, you

402
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 5: have to set a culture right, right, you set the

403
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 5: tone for your business, and you establish a culture. Your

404
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 5: culture then fuels the experience for your team and for

405
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: your clients.

406
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Are your customers.

407
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 5: If you got a restaurant, a hair salon, barbershop, whatever

408
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 5: it is you have to set.

409
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: You have to set the tone for the culture.

410
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: And in doing that there has to be structure, right,

411
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 5: and so there were certain things that I would not

412
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: allow from a from a professional side. From a professional side,

413
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: there were things that I would not allow. But I

414
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 5: also most importantly, I allowed people to be human. I

415
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: allow people to be human, but you still had to

416
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 5: follow rules and you had to respect me as your stylist,

417
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 5: as your team leader.

418
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: I respect my space as the salaw as our salon.

419
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 5: One thing I was always good about I have to

420
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 5: say I never put an I in team.

421
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: My team that worked with me. We we did we

422
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: did that ship together.

423
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 5: We did it together, and I think that is what

424
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 5: makes a great business and and it creates a really

425
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 5: good welcome and atmosphere. I agree, but I you know,

426
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 5: I dealt would have. I've seen every every type of

427
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 5: client you could think of, and I was always open

428
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 5: to receive whatever they had to offer. I believe everybody

429
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 5: that you I'm in contact with, whether whether whether it's

430
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: a personal contact or somebody that's that's walking by and

431
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: you may you may speak to or have eye contract,

432
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 5: there is a reason for every human interaction and encounter.

433
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: And so I always left myself open and vulnerable to

434
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 5: that to the day that I retired, which is why

435
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: it was so hard for me to retire, because I

436
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 5: had built such a strong network and relationships with my

437
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: team and my clients. But yeah, definitely, definitely definitely family,

438
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 5: but family that respected each other and we respected boundaries,

439
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 5: and I think that's why I was able to be

440
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: so successful while I was in the beauty.

441
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: Industry for twenty years.

442
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and didn't really have any any any major hiccups.

443
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: Every you gonna have hiccups regard any business. You're gonna

444
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: have some hiccups.

445
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 5: But that was, you know, it was that is a

446
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 5: chapter that I would I would know and aftually the

447
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 5: chapter is and closed. It's a long part is but

448
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: again I will forever be a part of the beauty industry.

449
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's envy up here with eye browns

450
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,119

00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 5: And whether you know it or not, everybody has a

452
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,400

Speaker 1: Let me tell you something?

483
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 5: As the mother in Atlanta, I grew up in the

484
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 5: late in the nineties, early two thousands, I was I'm

485
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 5: the eighties baby.

486
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: When I was.

487
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 5: Outside as a young teenager, won't nobody walk around like

488
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 5: me at all?

00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: Won't nobody want want?

490
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 5: No boys walking around with handbags, nip bloss. He'll go

491
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 5: back in the day I used to wear like juice

492
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 5: to coletol, jogging suits and sweatsuits and stuff and the temperance.

493
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah it was real cute. But anyway, and baby, I.

494
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 5: Will pump through the underground Atlanta and all around. But

495
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 5: that was I could not find people that reminded me

496
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 5: of myself, right, But I would sit here today in

497
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four.

498
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 3: Have y'all paid attention to all time changed?

499
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: Have you paid.

500
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 5: Attention to Atlanta. We everywhere, We everywhere. Yeah, and I'm joking,

501
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 5: but I'm serious.

502
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: But also it's the stuff that people don't get to see,

503
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: you know.

504
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 5: It's the connections, right, it's again going back to the

505
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 5: beauty industry. It's the homes that I was able to touch.

506
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 5: For every black woman that sat in my chair, I

507
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 5: had the opportunity to lend myself, in my spirit to

508
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 5: a whole household. I have been to funerals of their children.

509
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 5: I have been to weddings. I have been to the

510
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 5: voice courts. You name it now, it is what it is,

511
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: you name it.

512
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: I've done that.

513
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 5: And so everything that I have learned that's been instilled

514
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 5: in me, I've been able to share it to everybody

515
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 5: that I've come in contact with, especially here in this city,

516
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 5: and it you know, it's it's something that I'm very,

517
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 5: very proud of. And I have to say that I

518
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 5: feel like I carry the torch. I'm one of the

519
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 5: ones that carry the torch as we all are big back.

520
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 5: You're doing the same, and I'm going somewhere with it.

521
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 5: When you think of Atlanta and what Atlanta represents at

522
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 5: its core, at its foundation, at its roots, and that

523
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 5: is the birthplace of the civil rights movement. When you

524
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 5: think about who those people were, when you think about

525
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 5: Andy Young, doctor King, Maynard Jackson, you know, all, Joseph E. Lowry,

526
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 5: all of them, they had them and grigor, a lot

527
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 5: of grit and tenacity to make sure that we as

528
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 5: black people in this city got to live like our

529
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 5: white counterparts.

530
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: Right.

531
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 5: And so we all get to sit up here now

532
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 5: and we driving porsches, we driving g wagons and maybox

533
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 5: and all this shit. We owning businesses and buildings and

534
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: all this kind of stuff because of the work and

535
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 5: the foundation that they laid that we now, whether we

536
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 5: know it or not, are standing on their shoulders and

537
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 5: we're carrying it on.

538
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: The thing that you do when you go out hiking.

539
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 5: That's a movement. Yeah, this is the birthplace of movements.

540
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 5: Let's be very clear. You know, as a proud black

541
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 5: gay individual in this city going back, there wasn't a

542
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 5: lot of people that looked like me. But guess what

543
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 5: it is now that was we all we all have

544
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 5: this innate responsibility and this innate gesture to be leaders

545
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 5: and to start movements, whether they are comfortable or uncomfortable

546
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 5: or not but.

547
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: The goal, the original goal, way back in the day.

548
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 5: The goal and the vision was for us to all

549
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: live comfortably, in abundance and equal. And I think we

550
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 5: all play a part in that, the gays, the straits,

551
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 5: you know, the elders, the young and going back to

552
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: your first question, you know what's on your mind when

553
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 5: I the stuff, there was just a big fight of

554
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 5: something that happened. I forgot what city that was, and

555
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 5: the little girl was left hospitalized, These little young girls.

556
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 5: Nobody is teaching these children the way that we were taught.

557
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 5: You know, you won't fight it. You don't do don't

558
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 5: you don't don't fight each other, right, you know you?

559
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: I mean they yeah, you're gonna have a little fight

560
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 5: here and now, but not they're trying to kill each other.

561
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 5: I just I just read that Louisiana passed to build

562
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 5: that eighteen year old.

563
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: I think it's an eighteen year old.

564
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 5: They can now carry guns without training, without permit. You

565
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: know what, You know that it's all by divine, by

566
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 5: by plan, it's on purpose because they know we are

567
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 5: such age a messed up group of people, not by

568
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 5: our own fault, by the way, a messed up group

569
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 5: of people that them guns are not going to turn

570
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 5: to each other and in that generation as as I'm

571
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: sorry as it's been happening already.

572
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: But.

573
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 5: People are here worried about if Meek Mills gay or not,

574
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 5: are if Ditty gay or not, or if whoever.

575
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: Is gay or not. They are here worried about that shit.

576
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 5: And you got children that got guns, and they hand shooting,

577
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 5: ship up, shooting up.

578
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: They don't have respect for elders no more either.

579
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 5: And while people, you know, while you busy focusing on that,

580
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 5: be focused and worried about your mama out there with these,

581
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 5: be focused and worried about your children out there, because

582
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 5: you don't know what's gonna happen when they go outside there. Though, right,

583
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 5: you don't know what's gonna happen. You know, you might

584
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 5: need that that gay boy or that lesbian girl, or

585
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 5: that trans woman or whatever. You might need them one

586
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 5: that you you might need them to protect your child

Speaker 5: to pull you out of a motherfucking burden pod anything.

590
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: Because we hear rolls too. We hear rolls too.

591
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: For sure.

592
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: We got a lot of goddamn work to do. Where

593
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: do you think it started? This? Right here?

594
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 5: When I saw you at the mayor saying and you

595
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 5: said I want to have you on my show, that

596
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 5: meant everything to me.

597
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: You know how growing up straight niggas.

598
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: I ain't never had no problem with them. I wouldn't really,

599
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 5: I wouldn't really fool them for a long time. No,

600
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 5: you know, because you know I'm like, oh, no, child,

601
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 5: they don't see it for me. I don't see it

602
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: for them. But we've grown up. I mean, listen, they

603
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 5: don't see it for me. I don't see it for

604
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 5: them because I'll be like, bitch, I don't want you

605
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 5: to think I'm looking at you.

606
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: Bitch, don't look at me, because if you look at me.

607
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 5: A certain type of way, I'm going say something away

608
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 5: had a.

609
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: Mouth on me.

610
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. So fast forward to where we are today.

611
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: Now that I am aware, now that I have studied

612
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 5: and shown myself approved, I now know where the disconnect

613
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: has come from between black gay people are LGBTQ people,

614
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 5: in particularly black gay men and black straight men. I

615
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 5: know exactly where the disconnect comes from, and I'm no

616
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 5: longer afraid or apprehensive about embracing my straight brothers or

617
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 5: sisters and hopes that you know, it will be reciprocated eventually.

618
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 5: So going back when I saw you at the Mayor's

619
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 5: Mask after party, Mayor's Mask Ball after party, I think

620
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 5: that's how it goes.

621
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, and you invited me on the shop, so

622
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: this is that's amazing.

623
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 5: I was excited, I'm and I'm still exciting, you know,

624
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 5: because we don't get ahead these type of moments and

625
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 5: this when people get to see it, that sparks change

626
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 5: it sparks change. It will continue to kill that idea,

627
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 5: are that long running practice of us not being able

628
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 5: to be or coexists in the same space or to

629
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 5: possibly be able to create effective change. So to your question,

630
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: how do we fix it? We fix it by doing this,

631
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 5: you know, because somebody somewhere, while you probably more than

632
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 5: likely when you post it, you're gonna have some foods

633
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 5: in the comments, but somebody somewhere is gonna spread the

634
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 5: message and say, wait a minute, if this can happen,

635
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: that's gonna be a little boy somewhere who's probably twelve

636
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 5: thirteen years old now that may come across this that

637
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 5: maybe gay or struggling with his sexuality that may feel

638
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 5: that much more confident when you go outside and go

639
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 5: and speak to his straight brother or sister.

640
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: Because of moments like this.

641
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 5: So it's have more of these, more of these moments,

642
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 5: and then start to figure out how we work.

643
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: So it's called working from the inside out.

644
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 5: Yes, we're on the precipice of another you know, presidential election,

645
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: but I'm more so concerned about obviously the presidential election.

646
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: But because you know, I understand politics, we have to

647
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 5: be real scared about what happens, you know, on a

648
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 5: state level, you know, you know, And so in order

649
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 5: to make sure that we are good, make sure our

650
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 5: children are good, make sure my mama get to keep

651
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 5: her social Security because that's on the line with this

652
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 5: new presidential election, they trying to take away social Security.

653
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: I ain't got no goddamn money.

654
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 5: I ain't working out no how long because of the strike,

655
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 5: because of the pandemic, all of it all. Look, my

656
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 5: mama needs her social Security because my my father just

657
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 5: passed last year. My mama needs her social Security because

658
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 5: that's how we use that to aid it.

659
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: I do what I can now.

660
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong, but we we needed our seniors need.

661
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 5: They need to be taken care of. Our seniors got

662
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 5: to be taken care of. What else is at stake?

663
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 5: Our fucking black history, our mother fucking black history. What

664
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 5: good is it gonna do any of our children for

665
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 5: them to go to school and not get to learn

666
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 5: nothing about where they actually call from.

667
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: Just talking about that, they said that they was taking

668
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: the books out of the.

669
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 5: Yeah no I remember, no, no, yeah no, I was

670
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 5: somewhere else.

671
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah no, my dog, Larry's fought, said Larry's.

672
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 5: He was just telling me, like in Florida, like you

673
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 5: can't even search like black history books.

674
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: We took governor the sentence the sentence, What do you

675
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: what are you doing for them? He's his agenda. He's like,

676
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna learn about what we want you to learn,

677
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 2: and we want to cut what we want to cut out,

678
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 2: including history.

679
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: You think other people are gonna follow suit like.

680
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: Other now.

681
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: Without repercussion.

682
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 2: Republicans Yeah, and I ain't listen. Republicans get an agenda,

683
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 2: Democrats get an agendas. A lot of ship I don't

684
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: agree with on both ends, but their their agenders.

685
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 5: But if we teach our people though they don't even know,

686
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 5: But how do you do that.

687
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: Everybody got to be on one accord. Everybody.

688
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 2: You don't think it's starting their own home though.

689
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: Like, yes, it starts in the homes first.

690
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 5: But if you now have babies raising babies, who's who

691
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 5: are teaching them? So I say, our generation right now,

692
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 5: the ones that are are aware and are becoming an

693
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 5: our socially conscious, we got a big job to do

694
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 5: because it's gonna be us having to save us. Ain't

695
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 5: nobody gonna come do it.

696
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: It ain't happening capital here. They don't know.

697
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 5: And we get on one accord, fix home first and

698
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 5: really stand as a united front.

699
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: We don't need them motherfuckers. No way will make it.

700
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: What you think make niggas not stick together.

701
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 5: Uh, several things ego, jealousy, hate you and guess what's

702
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 5: fueled by them goddamn phones and that social media? Them

703
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 5: goddamn phones and the social media. And let me also

704
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 5: say again that was done on purpose. It was a

705
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 5: part of the greater plan. See one thing, our motherfucking

706
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 5: you know, oppressors, haters who one thing.

707
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: They're good, they're good at planning, they're real good at planning.

708
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: We don't. We're the only ones gonna plan. They real

709
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: good at.

710
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 5: Planning and organizing because we don't think. But they still

711
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 5: ain't smarter than us. See that's the piece. We just

712
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 5: don't plan, we don't organize, we don't strategize, right, but

713
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 5: if we do, and see they know that because if

714
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 5: we do, we can them motherfuckers is go be.

715
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: Skipping shut in with the George Floyd.

716
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the nigga like they always got.

717
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 5: Now some always happen to the nigga who'll be over

718
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 5: them talking.

719
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 4: We're gonna be the faces I mean.

720
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: To like, now they gonna get.

721
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 2: Nobody at the head of that. Like the George Floyd situation,

722
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: it was just collective.

723
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 5: So it was Black Lives Matter m But weren't they fraudulent?

724
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 5: Let me please, that's good. Let me give credits and recognition.

725
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 5: I do not know the young lady's name. That there

726
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 5: was a black young woman that took her phone out

727
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 5: and recorded what happened to George Floyd. So she was

728
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 5: the one the Black Lives Matter movement got behind it.

729
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 5: Black Lives Matter movement had already been there. That was

730
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 5: Trayvon Martin, that was Eric Gardner, that was you know,

731
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 5: you name it Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor. I mean we

732
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 5: can go on and on. Now, you said, weren't they

733
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 5: fraudulent or weren't they find No, no, no, you're right,

734
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 5: you're not wrong. But how quickly did that get put

735
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 5: out there? And people completely forgot about the global movement.

736
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: The George pashtag George Floyd, and I mean global.

737
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 5: It was motherfucker's in Paris, I mean everywhere saying George Floyd.

738
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: And guess what the enemy came and did?

739
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 5: And when I say the enemy, I'm talking about they.

740
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 5: Let's see what this black line, Let's look into them,

741
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 5: Let's see what's going on here. They did shit wrong

742
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 5: to nobody. They ain't hurt nobody, This is my opinion.

743
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 5: They ain't hurt no damn body. Now, they might have

744
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 5: misappropriated some funds or somewhere.

745
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give her damn saying that you said they

746
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: did more good.

747
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 5: And if they ain't did what they want, somebody went

748
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 5: about a matching or something like that, But she fucking

749
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 5: deserved it. Yeah, I agree that I can't be over

750
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 5: no big a fun, some some money like this.

751
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 4: When I forget some of this ship too, Like what's

752
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 4: so what's the field of like another problem because you

753
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: just started the best safe of organization like ship want

754
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 4: to go because I need to know how this ship.

755
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 5: You got to have a real good accountant and bookkeeper.

756
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. What do you get you get

757
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: out of here?

758
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: You can hire yourself and have a job. Huh, you

759
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: can how much?

760
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 5: Like I brought in one hundred million? How much did

761
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 5: do I pay myself? But it has to go through

762
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 5: your board. So once you set your board up, because

763
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 5: you have to have a board with a nonprofit. Once

764
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 5: you set the board up, everything is because it's public record,

765
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 5: and you decide on how much you pay yourself.

766
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 6: You you you grade your pay scale however you want

767
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 6: to do it, but it.

768
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: Has to be it depends on how we bring it in.

769
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I can't just get on those sets.

770
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 5: If if my fave got this, if if what's the

771
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 5: name of the name of black lives mile with mine,

772
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 5: unless they made five hundred million dollars and she took

773
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 5: a hundred million dollars, she won't.

774
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: No, So I think it's a thing of making sure

775
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: your ship set up right.

776
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 5: How can you set up right when you don't know

777
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 5: if it's gonna be that like this is a percentage base, Yeah,

778
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 5: instead of doing if they had agreed to.

779
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: Supposed to be fit.

780
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,520

Speaker 5: When you think about a National Action national Action network,

908
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,480

909
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 5: all donation driven.

910
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard Rolex is nonprofit?

911
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: Rolex is nonprofit?

912
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: I don't understand how that works to this day.

913
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: Rolex is No, yes, it is.

914
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't understand how that works to this day, but

915
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 2: it works. The Rolex is a nonprofit organization. Promise you google. Yah, Yeah,

916
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: nonprofit organization. I still don't understand it, and I read

917
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 2: on it a million times and it's like foreign to me. However,

918
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 2: they work it because they work. Their nonprofit legitimately makes

919
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 2: a lot of money every year.

920
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 5: Scam. Rolex is a scam. I did not say that,

921
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 5: but I think the way in that type of stuff

922
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 5: happens is very It comes across as scamy.

923
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: They probably take the money from you to watch and

924
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 2: bust it down between whoever make the money and gives

925
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: something some good causes. That's my what my assumption. Like

926
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,399
Speaker 2: I said, I still don't understand how that works though.

927
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're just giving the taxes to to the people

928
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 5: problem because whoever make them watches, they probably paying them

929
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 5: so much they deaf with the money coming in it.

930
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 2: Hm hmm.

931
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: They don't cost that much to make them watches.

932
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 5: She that what you're gonna say, you cost you to

933
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 5: make it, if you if you got another problem, Oh yeah,

934
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 5: you can say.

935
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: It costs whatever. Yeah.

936
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's where the scam comes in. And you

937
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 5: overpricing it departs. Everything is overpriced. Yeah, oh yeah. Look

938
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:18,800

Speaker 5: That's not fair that somebody offer me no that's the

972
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:47,520

973
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,760
Speaker 5: same thing somebody of personally.

974
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,960

975
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 2: sell anything? I've had products, You've had products. So if

976
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: your product goes out there, let's say your product is

977
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 2: just as good as a big corporation product or better, right,

978
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 2: and that product is people like, we buy this product,

979
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: we like it for our skin. It's twenty nine ninety nine.

980
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,040

981
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 2: tim whatever the now it's ninety nine ninety nine. This

982
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 2: is a capitalist society. You're not going to say no,

983
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 2: don't sell it for more.

984
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: You're not gonna do that for the people.

985
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.

986
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: That's inflation. I guess capitalism.

987
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 2: As long as we are right.

988
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 5: I still think it don't make no goddamn sense for

989
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 5: me to go have to get my cop fixed.

990
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: And ten thousand dollars. The old boy round the corner saying,

Speaker 1: did he fix it right?

992
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 2: Though?

993
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 5: We're too bad, too bad cold, Probably better to go

994
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 5: right back, do the same ship.

995
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 2: You never know.

996
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, he fixed it, he fixed it right. It's just

997
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: it's working that mother, Look it worked.

998
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: This capitalist I'm just saying this is a capitalist society.

999
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: I ain't saying I agree with it. I'm just saying,

1000
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: and that's the reality that I came to, Like, this

1001
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: is a capitalist place. People used to last a long

1002
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 2: time and that wasn't profitable. And Toyota still do, yeah

1003
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: they do, but.

1004
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: They start remixing them too.

1005
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 5: All this ship, water down, the food, everything you got, fire,

1006
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 5: even your clothes. Like I remember your grandmother, the man

1007
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,000

1008
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: Man, she started tearing up on their own.

1009
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 2: Close everything levis want and done.

1010
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 1: You go go wash some ship.

1011
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 2: Go wash it doesn't even happened.

1012
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: You better hand wash.

1013
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 2: That might not work. We used to Washington hang it

1014
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,439
Speaker 2: in the clothes lines and it lasts whatever. But yeah,

Speaker 5: what I'm saying, like more for your clothes than they

1290
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 5: was paying you.

1291
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Like this was up one. It was like one pay

1292
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: check was a handbag for me. But anyway, but.

1293
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 5: It's like I'm not I'm not going up like this

1294
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 5: is what I'm not going to do because I'm not excited.

1295
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 5: I've always been very popular, so I've never been like

1296
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 5: attention seeking fame whore, like I don't care, I didn't care,

1297
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 5: I don't care.

1298
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 3: Where are my coins?

1299
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 5: Where am I going to? And how is this benefiting me?

1300
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 5: And and then they're started to become this kind of

1301
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 5: up tick uprising of like homophobia in a certain way. Right,

1302
01:08:54,680 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 5: So there was one episode where the young man, you know,

1303
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 5: he got beat up one the King's friends.

1304
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 1: He got beat up. Yeah, yeah, Now.

1305
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:11,480
Speaker 5: Nobody took accountability in that. There was no formal apology,

1306
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,879
Speaker 5: that was no nothing. The minute somebody get mad at somebody,

1307
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 5: somebody is, you know, a queen, are gay though they

1308
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 5: acting gay?

1309
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: Oh that's a queen, as though that's a bad thing.

1310
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, So you can't out of one breath use all

1311
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 5: the jargon and fag out and all that, and then

1312
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 5: at the next breath, will somebody pish you off? You

1313
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,560
Speaker 5: want to call him a queen or you want to

1314
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 5: call him gay as though it's a bad thing. Right,

1315
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 5: And then when that whole little fight happened, that time

1316
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 5: with the young man.

1317
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm done, you know, because I

1318
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: can't be you know, a stern figure or fixture in

1319
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: my community and in the Black algerb tak your community

1320
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: and occupy that type of space where there's little regard to.

1321
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 5: Who people like myself who we are as human beings,

1322
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 5: and nobody is held account before it. And so I left,

1323
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 5: and I was asked back several times. I was actually big,

1324
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 5: but I said, you know, I said no. I said

1325
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,560
Speaker 5: no because I didn't need it. I didn't need it,

1326
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 5: and thank god I did, because I probably wouldn't have

1327
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 5: made it to you know, national television.

1328
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,839
Speaker 1: On script on scripted series.

1329
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:37,759
Speaker 5: I probably would have made it on the big screens

1330
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,759
Speaker 5: as a principal actor for Universal Pictures, you know all.

1331
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. Yeah, do I talk ship, but

1332
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: sometimes I knew we want to. Sometimes I really do.

1333
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:53,560
Speaker 1: We want to, let a bitch know it, But no,

1334
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 1: I stay humble.

1335

01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: And let me say this's something that I did not say.

1368
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 5: The space that I like to occupy that I'm aware

1369
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 5: that I occupy, and and and I think it's a

1370
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 5: privilege is being in this great area.

1371
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: You know, I know the language of my straight brothers

1372
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: and sisters and my l g B t Q brothers

1373
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: and sisters, and so I feel like I have this

1374
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,719
Speaker 1: kind of innate assignment to bridge the gap.

1375
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 5: Yes, and that is reflective that, Yeah, And so that

1376
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 5: is reflected in my dance party. That's reflected in the

1377
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,800
Speaker 5: dinners that I hold, which is called plated purpose by

1378
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,719
Speaker 5: miss miss Lawrence presents plated purpose.

1379
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: It's reflected in all of that because that is that

1380
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that is the work

1381
