00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 6: Maybe this year I give me a tree, like something real,

00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 6: like maybe like a white or red tree.

21
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Okay, white or red?

22
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,800

24
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: You know there's people that actually do that. You know

25
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: who does that? Jordan could do that for you from

26
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: lip service.

27
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,000

30
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,560

34
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: about movements, culture, circulating the dollar within our community. So

35
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: that's the conversation we're going to have so important because

36
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: right now there's a lot of money circulating and we

37
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: need to be intentional about where we are circulating those dollars.

38
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,880

52
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: to shout out right now, I want to shine a

53
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: light on Robert F.

54
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Smith. They have started with Live Nations.

55
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: This HBCU areware Fest, and the point of it is

56
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: to eliminate college debt and build generational wealth for HBCU students.

57
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: And so this is now a call to action.

58
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 3: There's going to be workshops, panel discussions, live music. All

59
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: have to start conversations, spark action, and raise real money

60
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 3: to tackle student loan debt. You know black college graduates,

61
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: they average nearly fifty three thousand dollars in loans for

62
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 3: their educational endeavors.

63
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: We also know that Robert F.

64
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: Smith has done a lot as far as donating money

65
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: and paying people's tuition.

66
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Now, Diddy, who do you want to shine a light on?

67
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 8: I want to try the light out to my man.

68
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: That's not my man, but that's my man.

69
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,720

00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,920

Speaker 3: I like that, and I like that you can acknowledge

78
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: like sometimes we take people for granted, but that is

79
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: a big deal.

00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,680

109
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 6: what right, Usually the decorations go up after Thanksgiving they

110
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 6: already definate.

111
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: No, I said that too. I thought that was the thing.

112
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: But I will say, in my family, when we all

113
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: get together where they do the grab bag thing where

114
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: you have to pick like a secret Santa whatever, it's

115
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: good to have like some decorations up because that's when

116
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: we do it to get ready for Christmas.

117
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 6: But you just gave me an idea. Because I don't

118
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 6: usually decorate the great creative. I'm not so much to grinch,

119
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: but I'm just like, I don't want to do no

120
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 6: work and all that. But you just gave me an idea.

121
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 6: So now now I'm going to call Jordi, Yay, come

122
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 6: decorate my tree.

123
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 3: Look, Jordi just texted me right when you said that. Okay,

124
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 3: Jordie's from lip Service. I like that because you know,

125
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: I had ordered some decorations for Halloween and I got

126
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: these tiny pumpkins, and so I've been wanting to order

127
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: some more things for Christmas. But now I'm mentally scarred

128
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: from that situation because the pumpkins were like the size

129
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: of my pinky. So Jordan had actually volunteered to come

130
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: and do the decorations for me.

131
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 5: She can decorate my tree.

132
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I think she's into that.

133
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: Hey, let's go.

134
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: This is so lazy.

135
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: But you know, I think this year, being in a

136
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: new house and my family's all coming over for Thanksgiving

137
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: or for I like to say, Indigenous.

138
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 5: People's Day, I would like to say that too.

139
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah you can, and I just want to hear you pronounce.

140
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: It Indigenous people. Okay, got the Engines indigenous.

141
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: Earlier you were saying my memory instead of memory.

142
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 6: Listen, you know what I meant right now, Holiday spirit.

143
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna go red tree.

144
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Okay, thinking back booling with the red tree.

145
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, put some gifts under there.

146
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I like it, and I would be at your

147
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: house for Thanksgiving. But anyway, for Indigenous People's Day. When

148
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: we come back, doctor Cheyenne Bryant was on lip service,

149
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: and you know it got a little emotional in the room.

150
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: So we have a little bit with her because she

151
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: has her book The Mental Detox, and this is a

152
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: great time for us to all just have a mental

153
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: detox and think about the things in our life that

154
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: we do that we want to perhaps improve on.

155
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: All right, it's way up.

156
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: Way up with Angela Yee.

157
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: More now, what's up his way up with Angela Yee

158
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: and doctor Cheyenne Bryant was on lip Service and had

159
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: the ladies reflecting doing some mental detoxes. She's got that

160
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: book out, yes, And one thing that we had to

161
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: do was think about one thing reflecting on ourselves that

162
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: we don't like that we do. I'm to ask you,

163
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: but first here's what the ladies had to say.

164
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't like my struggle with vulnerability. It's very hard

165
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: for me. I'm also very observant, so it takes me

166
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: a minute to see what's going on and like feel

167
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: comfortable in certain circumstances. I would say those are my

168
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: big two.

169
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 5: My big thing. I don't like ourself that I don't

170
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: know if I'm gonna change.

171
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 9: Is I like that?

172
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay?

173
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 9: Period?

174
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 10: I would say, I don't.

175
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 5: Like being out of my comfort zone.

176
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: All right?

177
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,040

00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 5: One thing?

183
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you w you're talking about when we come back.

185
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 7: It's way up, way up with Angela Yee.

186
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,760

189
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: what is something that you do that you don't like?

190
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 6: One of the things that I I don't like is

191
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 6: that sometimes I have the knack of starting something and

192
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 6: not finishing it.

193
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't like that.

194
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't get that from you.

195
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I'm just so proactive with a lot of

196
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 6: different things. But sometimes I start things and don't finish it.

197
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 6: That's something that I don't.

198
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Like, Okay.

199
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: Like getting married, Like that's something you started and you

200
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: were supposed to get married like months ago.

201
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: Exactly that it should have been married. It should have

202
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 5: been divorced by now.

203
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: You want me to tell you some things about yourself

204
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: that you don't like?

205
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 6: Nope, okay, nope, nope, nope. I want you stay far

206
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 6: away from my business. I could have been divorced already.

207
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: Oh, why would you want that?

208
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: Because you know what's interesting? I look at you the opposite.

209
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: I feel like, when you want to do something, you

210
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: get obsessive about it.

211
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 6: Sometimes when I'm doing too many different things at the

212
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 6: same time, it takes away from something else.

213
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: All right.

214
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: Well, one thing I would say about myself that I

215
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: do that I don't like is that I tend to

216
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: say yes to a lot of things that I know

217
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: I don't want to do.

218
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: So do you. It's a slight people pleaser.

219
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have good intentions, but sometimes that's not the

220
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: best for me personally. Like I'm always trying to be

221
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: like I want to do it in my head it

222
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: sounds good, and then I'm like, this is impossible for

223
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: me to.

224
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: Do all this.

225
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have to get better at like balancing

226
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,920

00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 10: Definitely from Oakland and really passionate about representing everything like

263
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 10: Easter Racey. I'm from everything black and others, but i

264
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 10: want to make sure that we take care of ourselves

265
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 10: and really circulate the dollar.

266
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: In our community.

267
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 3: Carolyn Johnson talk to us about Black Cultural Zone and

268
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: how that was born.

269
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 11: So I'm from Oakland, so born and raised New Stokland,

270
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 11: and the Black Cultural Zone was born with our artists

271
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 11: who were trying to figure out how do they stop

272
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 11: the gentrification and displacement of black people in Oakland. There

273
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 11: was a big transportation thing coming and they knew it

274
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 11: would be negative, and they said, we want a Black

275
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 11: Cultural Zone.

276
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: You know, Oakland was fifty one percent black. Now we're

277
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: projected to be ten percent by twenty forty.

278
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 5: We're we're disrupting that.

279
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: She is disrupting that.

280
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 11: So the Black Culture Zone is a place, it's a collaboration,

281
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 11: it's a CDC. And so we are acquiring properties actively

282
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 11: because if we don't own their properties we'll be like

283
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 11: tumbleweed forever being moved. So our goal is to control

284
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 11: the land and a land trust and make sure we

285
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 11: take care of our people.

286
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: Right now, Derek B.

287
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: Johnson, the owner of Home and Chicken and Waffles, and

288
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: Carolyn Johnson, the CEO of the Black Cultural Zone, are here.

289
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: Is there a plan to replicate this in other places

290
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: we've been touring.

291
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is happening in Brooklyn, this happened in

292
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans.

293
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 11: It's happening in all of the cities that are port cities,

294
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 11: are places where there was redlining, same metaphor, it has

295
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 11: been happening.

296
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 5: So Oakland can't be alone.

297
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 11: We have to connect across the country. And I think

298
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 11: people look to open around the world because the home

299
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 11: of the Black Panther Party, which we are distinded. So

300
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 11: we have to lead, then we have to share. So

301
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 11: that's what we're trying to do, is make sure we

302
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 11: connect across the country.

303
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 10: Doctor CJ has me on how black are you today?

304
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 11: No?

305
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 5: Seriously?

306
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 10: So for example, my hoodie comes from my five brother

307
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 10: k Side Fraturnity Incorporated. Shout out to the nupes. My

308
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 10: pants are a black designer. Now my jewelry and stuff's

309
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 10: not so we're gonna work on that. But how black

310
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 10: are you today? And if you can say you're thirty

311
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 10: percent black with what you're wearing, then that can transcend over.

312
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 5: Yes, so it makes you, It makes you makes you think.

313
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 10: If you think that way, then you're starting to circulate

314
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 10: that dollar. And if it's not a dollar, you can

315
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 10: circulate your network if you need a connection to something

316
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 10: like those of us.

317
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 5: That have a network.

318
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 10: And no people stop gatekeeping and I don't need to monetize.

319
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,520

00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 12: I have the coworker because of the faiths the coool,

352
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 12: I talk to the manager everything. I don't not know

353
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 12: what to do to have this girl and she is

354
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 12: kind of like very overweight, so I know that's like

355
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 12: probably part of the issue, and not try to talk

356
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 12: to her about it, but like in a nice way.

357
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 9: But I don't know what to do.

358
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: What's that disease where people fall asleep? It's narcoleptic.

359
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I thought that's true.

360
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 9: But it's like I.

361
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 12: Thought taking it to the manager was gonna do something.

362
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 12: The manager literally just hit her home for a day.

363
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 12: When she sleeps, the other people in the room have

364
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 12: to pick up her work.

365
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then also she falls to sleep on a car.

366
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: It could be a matter of life or death.

367
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 12: It usually is because there's nine one one.

368
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: Is there anybody above the manager who you can talk to, Yeah,

369
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: there is. Before you do that, just make sure it's

370
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: a documents is that you went to the manager, and

371
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: you try to handle it that way and follow protocol.

372
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: But this does feel like an alarming thing.

373
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: So if you have to just like get a little

374
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: you know, evidence in case it comes.

375

00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: not like, yeah, nobody's life is in danger. But I

378
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,000

379
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: that you'll have to pick up, but also because damn

380
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: like somebody could be on the phone like an he's

381
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120
