It's happening 18 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 4: right now on Thursday the fifth, we're coming to our 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 4: spectacular works today of Harlem Healing. 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: What is that? 21 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: Tell us what that is? 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 4: Well, we're coming together and we're going to share ways 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 4: in which to protect ourselves, to heal ourselves. And it's 24 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 4: a family affair. Although the women you know, you have 25 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 4: all the women that have been challenged that they've been 26 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 4: murdered basically in their own homes. So there's violence in 27 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 4: our homes, and we have to heal as people, as families. 28 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 4: So it's not we're pointing a thing at our men, 29 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 4: but we're looking at us as a community. What can 30 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 4: we all do collectively to protect one another, because when 31 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 4: you take a woman's life, you're taking your own life, 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 4: and then the children are highly in danger. So we're 33 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 4: coming together as me a hold Sequila for the last 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 4: fifty years, and you're doing your work in community building 35 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 4: and not for profit and Warm. But it's been over 36 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 4: twelve years, and. 37 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: It's been actually thirteen years. Chance is thirteen year I've 38 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: gave birth to Warm and twenty ten coming out of 39 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: this recycle of domestic violence. And when I came back 40 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: to Harlem, I didn't see any women that looked like me. 41 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: I didn't see any representation of women of color, and 42 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I certainly didn't see any lived experienced women. Where I 43 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: come from, it is you are to be quiet and 44 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: it is a shame. And we're saying that domestic violence 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: is not a shame it's a crime, and we want 46 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: expose it for what it is because women are dying 47 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: this book right here. Every woman in this book has 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: been murdered. Did the candlelight visuals, did the funerals for 49 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: mother and children. So it's a critical issue here and 50 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm so honored to you to have us here. And 51 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: one of the things that we want to talk about 52 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: is important to feel. You got to feel first, then 53 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: you got to deal, and then you got to come 54 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: to that table of healing our body, mind and spirits. 55 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: So that's what we're going to do in Harlem this year. 56 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: We in Harlem on October fifth, is bring our community 57 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: together because we've been devastated. We live in deserts, right 58 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: We live where our women and children are in battlefields, 59 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: they're in the war. So we want to bring some 60 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: kind of restitution, some kind of understanding peace. So you 61 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: could get out, but you're not going to get out 62 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: into you move that muscle, because when you move the muscle, 63 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the thought is going to move with it. So we 64 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: want to give them the opportunity to come in and 65 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: start the process of healing because that's the only way out. 66 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, when you I mean, 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure you speak to families and when you deal 68 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: with people that's been affected by domestic violence, right, especially 69 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: now culture black men, Why don't you think people shun 70 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: them enough or shove those cases enough. A lot of 71 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: times you see a lot of domestic violence cases get 72 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 2: swept under the rug. A lot of times you see 73 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: domestic violent cases people get they plead out to lesser charges. 74 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: Why do you think that happens so much in our community? 75 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: And why don't you think people speak up about what's 76 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: going on so much? Because when you hear domestic violence, 77 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: it's usually a man that has a low ego, low 78 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: self esteem, and they try to take it out on 79 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: somebody that they can that they feel that they can beat, 80 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: that can't beat them back. So why don't you think 81 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: it's spoken about more in our community? 82 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: Well, the first thing is that it is. It is 83 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: an uncomfortable conversation and a lot of times because we 84 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: were dealing with women and children who are still considered 85 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: to be second class citizens in the world, so they 86 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: don't take it serious enough. It's like, Okay, well it 87 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: just happened that brother got a little upset. It's not 88 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: that bad. But we're saying that it is bad. It 89 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: is a human right issue now because women and children 90 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: are being murdered. This book right here. All these women 91 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: didn't make it out. And one of the things that 92 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: you know in our community, there's just so much, there's 93 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: a lack, there's no resources there. So that's why I 94 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: came back to Harlem, because there wasn't anything in Harlem 95 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: for women like me that looked like me. So we 96 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: opened up the floodgates and God has sent hundreds and 97 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: thousands of his children in. 98 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 3: Who are some of the people you'll have at the event. 99 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 4: Oh, we're going to have well, both of us are 100 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: going to be yes, yes, And then we're. 101 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: Gonna have China. 102 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 4: China is the CEO of Dollhouse Cosmetics, and we invited 103 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 4: her because she's she overcame domestic violence and as a result, 104 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 4: she became an entrepreneur to let you know that there's 105 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 4: a future even though you've been beat down and hurt 106 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 4: and wounded in your own home, that you can rise up, 107 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: you can overcome. And she has a healthy relationship now, 108 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 4: so that's an example. Then we have a moderator, BB Smith. 109 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 4: She's gonna moderate everything. And then we have doctor Jeffrey Gernard. 110 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 4: So he's going to be there and he's going to 111 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 4: talk about the psychology and the emotions of it. I'm 112 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 4: going to be talking about a way to bring medicine 113 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 4: in our own homes. Who's medicine is my specialty. And 114 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 4: a lot of the anger and the stresses is what 115 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 4: we're eating and was eating at us and so we're acting. 116 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 4: One of the things I had asked you, I said, well, 117 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 4: what time when does this happen. 118 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: The violence? And you said on the weekend. 119 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 4: So that's after having some alcohol and some you know, 120 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: something to numb the hurt. Women and men are not 121 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 4: a lot of the hurt and so but then it 122 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: doesn't numb out, it actually expresses itself further out. 123 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: So I have a whole. 124 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 4: Campaign of detoxing. 125 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: We can detox the woundedness, the hurt. 126 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 4: And there's a study that was done in Britain, he says, 127 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: I would like to just read out very quickly, those 128 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: involved in the trial says success on a health level 129 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: that in the prison system when they tested it and 130 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: they started giving more minerals and vituments in the prison system, 131 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: they found that the crime went down within the system 132 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: and the violence went down and the stealing from one 133 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 4: another went down. So's a lot of it's chemically induced. 134 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 4: We're not really eating real food, reading processed food and 135 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 4: toxic food and fast food and all of that over 136 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 4: just a normal way of every day eating is having 137 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 4: us going off, being short of fighting one another. And 138 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 4: then women are shamed. They don't want to talk about it. 139 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 4: They're not talking about it out loud. I went through 140 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 4: a domestic abuse situation. I was in my twenties, and 141 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: so I really know about trying to keep the family 142 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 4: together no matter what, and it could be to your death, 143 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 4: your detriment, and so I had to come out of it. 144 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 4: My daughter said at three years old, because we think 145 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 4: it's just a husband and wife, the children are suffering. 146 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 4: At three years old, said mom, we have to go 147 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 4: to grandmother's. So that means the children really feeling the 148 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 4: same thing that the parents are feeling. They're feeling lost, 149 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 4: they're feeling frightened, they're feeling scared, and we got to 150 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 4: show them that we can work together. Women and men 151 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: can work together to heal our conditions. Not about putting 152 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 4: the finger at them and those, but it's to say 153 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: what can we all do, and that's what Thursday's all about. 154 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: So thank you for having us. 155 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: They we're bringing attention that we can distress, we can 156 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: release our anger in a positive way, maybe walking, maybe 157 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 4: you know, working together fast and cleansing. So I'm doing 158 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: a seven day at. 159 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: The end of October. End of October. 160 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: Yes, we're gonna come together. We're gonna launch at warm 161 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 4: at your location on twenty sixth year in Harlem. Yes, 162 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: and we're gonna launch our seven day detos. Not saving 163 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 4: too much, not twenty one days. Hen we do seven 164 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 4: days and every night we'll be talking to the women, 165 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 4: encouraging them, strengthening them, because I always see the women 166 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 4: as the healers of the home. The women can heal 167 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 4: and if they raise their vibrations strong enough and we 168 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: all come together, then our men will respond to us 169 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: differently because we'll be able to help them. We're they 170 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 4: walk them off the edge, walk them over the bridge, 171 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 4: help them to detach. 172 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: Just something a green juice. 173 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 4: Every day was stressed, bringing stress of us all the 174 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 4: way down a hell in barefoots.

We 181 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 4: have a passion for this because we went through it ourself. 182 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: Know, somebody might say, well, you know, why should we 183 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: have to help the men that are going through their 184 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: own problems and beating us. Why should we have to 185 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: be the person to stop them from doing that. What 186 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: would you say to that woman, people out there listening, 187 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: you know. 188 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: I would say that it is our duty to help 189 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: our men. It is our obligation to help our men. 190 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: It is what we've been called to do to help 191 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: our men. You know, everything is birth from a woman. 192 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: Everything comes from a woman. So we are talking about 193 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: if we are getting ourself right, if we are doing 194 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: all the healing and eating right and fastening and praying, 195 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: and if we don't bring our men into this equation 196 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: of healing, then who are we going to turn to? 197 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: So it is our obligation to tell our brothers. Look, 198 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: and it is your obligation to tell your brothers, your 199 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: brother that's domestic violence for thirty something years I'm in 200 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: living in this world, and I didn't have the identification. 201 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't talked about, so we just thought that's what 202 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: happened in the household, right, That's what my mother and 203 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: my father do. So what our job is to bring 204 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: our brothers into this equation. So, yes, it is my 205 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: obligation to say, yeah, you did something wrong, but who 206 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: am I to judge you for what you did? We 207 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: know hurt people, hurt people, So we want our brothers 208 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: to say, it's a space, there's a time, there's a 209 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: way out of this, and that is to come together 210 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: and start this poss of healing. And it's about forgiveness. 211 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: It's about redemption. Okay, it is not about blame. I 212 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: s a all we did in our lives. We deny, 213 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: we deflect, and we dismiss. We're not doing that no longer. 214 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: We take a responsibility for our action. And then we're 215 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: gently softening and telling them you have to take responsible 216 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: for your action because a man or woman or anybody 217 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: that's not accountable, it's very dangerous. So that is our 218 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: job to make ourselves first. 219 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: You're not saying that if a woman is in that 220 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 3: situation and she's receiving abuse from the man, she should 221 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 3: just stay there and try to help the man. 222 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: No, no, we're saying, get out.

So what would you 273 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: tell a woman out there that's listening right now that 274 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: might be going through similar situations, might be being abused mentally, 275 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: might be abusing, being amused, abused physically. How would you 276 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: tell them how to get out? If they don't know how? 277 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: You know, they might feel I don't have the finances 278 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: to do it, I don't have anywhere to go. You know, 279 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: what do I do? What do I tell my kids? 280 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: So what would you say to that person listening right now? 281 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 4: Well, it's not just we do one thing, it's a 282 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 4: multitude of things. First, you have to say no more. 283 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 4: You have to ease, stand up for yourself and your 284 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 4: own quiet and soul and say I'm because my children will. 285 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: Be damaged from this when you. 286 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 4: Spoke of them. One of the last cases you said 287 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 4: the husband took his life, first took his wife's life, 288 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 4: then one year old, and then he murdered his three 289 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 4: year old. So it goes over and he hinted his 290 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 4: life at the end of that. So it is something 291 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: that we have to act now. There is someone right 292 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: now who's listening to us and who's feeling I don't 293 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 4: know how to get out. You go to your mother, 294 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 4: you go to your friend, you come to warm you 295 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 4: come to clean upour We will will. Because everyone's case 296 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: is not the same and sometimes you have help that 297 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 4: you're not even realizing. Sometimes women are fighting with their 298 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 4: own mothers so they can go to back to their 299 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: mother's home for help. So we as the people must 300 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 4: begin to heal. So every case is a bit different. 301 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 4: We're saying everyone come out on WINDESDA on Thursday because 302 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: it's going to be around the world. Everyone can see it. 303 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: It's free those who can get into the building at 304 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 4: Harlem High. 305 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: The fact that Harlem Hospital. 306 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: Open up your doors for us to be able to 307 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 4: do something like this, it's saying that we need the 308 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 4: community to be the healers too. It's not just the 309 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 4: hospital's going to heal us. We as a people are 310 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: going to have to heal us. And that's why it's 311 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 4: not about fighting the men or fight when we need 312 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 4: families and you cannot have family of just women. You 313 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 4: can not have family with just men. You have to 314 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 4: have men who are healed up. You have to have 315 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 4: women who are healed up and prevent. Don't wait until 316 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 4: because everyone's going through something. Sometimes yelling at someone will 317 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 4: break someone's self esteem. Someone just pushing them. It seems 318 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 4: so harmless, there's nothing to it. Sometimes they'll yell, they'll 319 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 4: fight all of this. Probably everyone who's coming out, they'll say, 320 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 4: it happened to me at least once in my life. 321 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 4: But maybe we can stop that when we start talking 322 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 4: about it. 323 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: And we moved to shame. 324 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: And so if we remove the shame and said this 325 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 4: is what we're going through, let's work it out. What 326 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 4: I have is it says black women are in a 327 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 4: stead of emergency, but families are instead of emergency. And 328 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 4: the spirit of Domestic Violence Month, I'm saying, get out 329 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: the trap, overcome. Now be the change that I'm a 330 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 4: change maker. We'll all be changed making and. 331 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: Do our portion. 332 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 4: So on the October twenty seventh, this is like part 333 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 4: one one is just get all to Harlem. The drums 334 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: will be playing. You know, Bob WA's coming out. Who 335 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 4: else is Erica Ford's come. We are unifying.
