It just sounds like too formal, Right, So 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 3: I was like, I need a name. 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 2: Like I feel like when we started to show we 33 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: were a Rodham is from and say that again for 34 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: about a year because we were just like, I don't 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen with this. This could go down 36 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: to the animals of time. 37 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 3: It works because like people call me d anyway, So 38 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: it's like I use the Asia, but most people. 39 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 4: Just shorten it and see that. 40 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: So first of all, can you tell everybody about the 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: Marion House five K and like what is Maryon House? 42 00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 4: Yeah? 43 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: So Mary House is an organization in Baltimore. They were 44 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: founded I don't know, maybe like thirty years ago or 45 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: so and has grown. They helped women and children, well 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 3: mostly women, but like you know, their children whatever with 47 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: like drug rehabilitation housing, whether it's like homelessness or you know, 48 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: like if you were like recently incarcerated and you need 49 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: like support like acquimeting back into the world or whatever. 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 3: And it's not specifically a black organization, but it's in 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: the middle of Baltimore, so inherently most of the women 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: tend to be black women. And I found out about 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: the Maryon House back in I don't know it's been 54 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: years now, but my mother passed away in twenty and twelve, 55 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: but maybe two thousand and. 56 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 4: Nine or so. 57 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: My mother was added the drug addict and when she 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 3: was trying to finally like get on the straight and narrow, 59 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: the Marriya House was the organization that helped her. And 60 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 3: you know, like with most addicts, you try like more 61 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: than one time to get clean or whatever. In Marrion House, 62 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 3: it was like the time when it finally like worked 63 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: out for her. So even back then, I just knew 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: it as like, Okay, there's this space where. 65 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 4: My mother is getting help. 66 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: And it was like very structured, you know, like some 67 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: rehabilitation programs it's just like twenty eight days and then 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: you're free. But if you could use the drugs for 69 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: like ten years or more, that's. 70 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: Not really enough. 71 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: But what I even when I was what I appreciate 72 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: about the Marry House, and I probably didn't understand it 73 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: back then, was like the added support, so like it 74 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: was like stages like that first stage, my mother lived 75 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: in like a dorm type of thing with like strict rules. 76 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: She hated it for a minute, but it's what she needed. Structure, curfews. 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 3: I remember like dropping like spending a couple hours with 78 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: her and dropping her off or whatever. Then it was 79 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: like you had to like have counselors, drug counselors, employment counselors, 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: and then you had to like get approval to go 81 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: on to the next stage. Then the next stage it 82 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: was just like still send me dormstop, but maybe like 83 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: eight women and they had like a little. 84 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: More freedom where they like cook, to share chores or whatever. 85 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: But they did that even in that would want us 86 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: start cutting grass. 87 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: That's how good minute, that's how works. It worked on podcasts. 88 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like what did I was like, what 89 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 4: did he do? But anyway, yeah, So then it was 90 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 4: like the next phase. 91 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: It was like she was like in a home where 92 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: it was just like like eight women and like I 93 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: remember one of my favorite things about that part was 94 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: I would go visit her and I didn't have a 95 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: washing machine in my apartment at that time, so I'm like, hey, 96 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 3: can we wash clothes? Like I'm a hangout. So and 97 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: then like the last phase, they actually like subsidized apart 98 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: like apartment. So actually around the time my mother passed away, 99 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: she was living in an apartment that was like you 100 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: like they subsidized the rent, so the reparent was like 101 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: eight hundred and some dollars. 102 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 4: My mother paid like one hundred dollars or whatever. 103 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: So oh, that was just like my personal experience, like 104 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: with the police. I wasn't that close to like the 105 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: whole organization back then, but when my mother passed away, 106 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 3: like the year after she died, my mom, me and 107 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: my brothers were just trying to find something to do 108 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: to like honor her and all that. And initially I 109 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: didn't even know about the five K. The first year, 110 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: we did like a random five K that somebody mentioned 111 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: that was just. 112 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 4: Like mental health awareness or something. 113 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 3: But the next the second year, that five K just disappeared. 114 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 4: So we're like, we gotta find something to do. Like 115 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 4: we liked the idea of the five K, and. 116 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: So we was searching for races in the Marrion House 117 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: did a race in September. My mother passed away September, 118 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 3: so it was just like, oh, that makes sense. 119 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 4: Let's just do this one. 120 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 3: That's right in Baltimore on the fancy link that you're 121 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 3: talking about.
