00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:10,400

Speaker 3: I'm doing good, glad to be here.

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: Uh, some great news my Jada, just as I just

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: want to tell the world about this.

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: You know, she is a senior.

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: This her first semester obviously, you know, so she hasn't

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: completed her senior year yet, but she's already been applying

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: to colleges and she got her first acceptance letter from PV.

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: You know, so that is really really exciting. She was

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: really excited about it. She's really insisting on going to HBCU.

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: That's really important to her. Jade's a straight a student.

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: She can go anywhere she wants to go in the country,

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: can choose any school you know that she wants to

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: go to. But she's really you know, dead set on

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: wanting that you know HBCU experience and and you know,

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: being able to learn from you know, his historical Black college.

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: And I'm very excited about that being her choice. If

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: I had to go back in time, I would when

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: I had an opportunity to go to college, you know,

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: straight out of high school, I went to the military,

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: but HBCUs would really looked down upon in my view,

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: still are a lot of do people still do think

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: that white schools, you know, are better. But it definitely,

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: you know, it definitely wasn't a choice of mine. My

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: girlfriends went, one went to Langston, one went to Grambling.

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: Cheerleaders my cheerleader friends, and if I had to go back,

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: I would certainly do things different. So I wanted to

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, still have my apartment and you know, still

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: work my job and just go to school part time

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: and let me go to the military and come back

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: while my girlfriends went and you know, did the whole

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: four year thing in the dorm and you know all

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. So I am just excited that

48
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: she has, you know, in an opportunity that I didn't

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: take advantage of or didn't have or have you want

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: to say it, but just being able to know she

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: can go anywhere in the country and her mama and

52
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: daddy gonna figure it out and make sure.

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Oh I love this, you bless Oh.

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's just a blessing. It's just a blessing.

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: You know.

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: I know she's gonna try out for cheerleading and uh,

57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: you know, it's just a blessing. It's just a blessing

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 2: to see you have a kid and you you these

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: are steps that you you know, milestones that you say.

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: You know you want them to be successful. You you know,

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: you want to grow up, you want to get them

Speaker 2: through school, you want to get and Jada's just such

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: a good kid.

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: She just she.

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: Hasn't given me any problems. When I say any problems Jada,

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: I mean literally any problems. Like literally my mother school

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: was always calling my mama. But she she's a good student.

68
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: She doesn't cause any problems, uh, not in trouble for anything.

69
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: She's just a good kid, and it's just a blessing,

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: you know, to just see her have that opportunity, and

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: I'm proud that she wants to that. An HBCU is

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: what's you know on her?

73
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: On her mind?

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: She's majoring in biology. Like I said, she's really brilliant.

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: She's smartnd per hundred percent in math and math and science.

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: So just excited about that for her, that's.

77
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: A blessing, you said TV right.

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: Yes, you know you gotta say that every time they

79
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: say to me, that's for me, that's praiview right, yes,

80
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: for an I'm not there.

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: My mother went to Prayview a m oh wow, Okay,

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: she had some stories. So if Jada would like to

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: get in a perspective about what it was like in

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: the seventies.

85
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: She was, yeah, on the hill, the hill, so and

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: you know she was looking at Clark as well. I

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: took her to Clark in Clark, Atlanta, and you know,

88
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: she really will it's a small school. And you know,

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: I had a big thing about this with my best

90
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: friend and her and her husband because the experience is

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: important to Jada too.

92
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 3: And you know he was.

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: Saying, you know, it's not about the experience and about them.

94
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, but it kind of is though, because

95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: Jada's a straight A student in biology. She's gonna do fine.

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: Whatever school she goes to, she's gonna do fine. She's

97
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: in high school, she had two jobs and her own business.

98
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: Jada made a couple thousand dollars a month just from her

99
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: business alone, So I'm not concerned She's going to do

100
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: a good academically wherever she goes. I she was getting

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: so stressed out about, you know, making the choice on

102
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, where I want to spend the next four

103
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: years and then after that, am I gonna want to

104
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: live in the city, And then after that I'm going

105
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: to because she wants to be a dentist, so she

106
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: wants to go to dental school, and then I want

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: all own dental practice. And so she was overwhelmed trying,

108
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: and I was like, Jada, just take one one day

109
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: at a time. Just take one day at a time.

110
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: This is about where you want to spend your first year.

111
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: I know, there's this mindset of starting a school and

112
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: ending there. I did don't want her to hop around

113
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: like I did. I went to several universities because I

114
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: you know, I got married.

115
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: We moved.

116
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: I started university or Texas, went to Texas Women, and

117
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: I had to finish online.

118
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: You know.

119
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying do that, but I had to

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: like take it back a notch because she was trying

121
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: to far you know, plan way too far out, because like,

122
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 2: you still may want to transfer to Howard, you don't know,

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: you might have a different perspective, you know, your second year,

124
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: where do you want to spend your first year? Where

125
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: do you want to have to spend your first year

126
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: where you're gonna have the best experience. Yes, you're gonna

127
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: get that academic but these are your core classes. They

128
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: can transfer. Well, they're not gonna be able to transfer.

129
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes they don't transfer credits. Yes they will, Jada, you

130
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: you're going to the credit university. You're just doing your

131
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: English or math, you know, your basic stuff. Worry about

132
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: where you want to have a good time, baby, Where

133
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: do you want that experience? And so I'll get your

134
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: thoughts on that, because I was telling him, well, no,

135
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: it's not about that, you gotta know, but it is

136
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: about that for us.

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: Everybody's child is different. It's about that.

138
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: So when she was looking at Clark, Clark is a

139
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: small university, it's only about four thousand students, so it

140
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: was kind of lame when we went Great University. But

141
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: her core class, she's gonna do well no matter where

142
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: she goes. So she wants the experience to go to

143
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: a larger university. You know, PV has about twelve thousand students,

144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: you know, compared to Clark at about four thousand. So

145
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: she wants the experience, the larger college.

146
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 3: The you know, she's always in school.

147
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: She's always went to schools that had twenty five percent black,

148
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: five percent Hispanic, twenty five percent white, you know, so

149
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: she really wants that whole experience with you know, a

150
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: larger school and the HBCUs she's cheerleading, so she wants

151
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: the band. Everybody wants the band that's flying. So that's

152
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: not the primary reason, but experience does have a lot

153
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: to do with that. And so I know there's some

154
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: parents that, no, you just need to go here because

155
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: this is the reason, and that's it, and da da

156
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: da da da. No, we can take what type of

157
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: experience you want into account.

158
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that?

159
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: Yes, so my thoughts on that are well, when I

160
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: was in high school, believe it or not, in my

161
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: high school is a partner with Howard University. It was

162
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: literally directly across the street from Howard University. Since its expanded,

163
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: it was the top magnet school in DC. It's expanded,

164
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: it's in a difference. It's in this Shaw neighborhood. So

165
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: like you, you know, I graduated from high school in

166
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, there was a stigma against HBCUs.

167
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: But I got to take a lot of courses Howard's campus.

168
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: I got to be a part of Howard's campus and

169
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: it's literally in my backyard. So I felt like I

170
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: had the HBCU experience. And then in my high school

171
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: was like eighty percent black kids, and so I was like,

172
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm one of the opposite. And I

173
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: got that. But fast forward now until this year. My niece,

174
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of her, my sister's daughter. She is

175
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: on a full ride to Howard University. She went to

176
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: the primarily white schools in Miami. She was always like

177
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the only black girl in her class or whatever whatever,

178
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: and she came to Howard. She got a full ride

179
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: and she's loving it. So she needed that cultural experience.

180
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: The thing that I've learned and even when teaching high school,

181
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: I find that like children, if they're a straight A

182
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: student and if they have strong family foundation and values foundation,

183
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: they're going to be successful anywhere we put them. And

184
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: I like what you're saying, like you're giving her, you know,

185
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: the choice, or you want her to explore like her interests,

186
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: because she's going to be a straight A student anywhere

187
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: she's going to be, she's going to be very, very motivated.

188
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: But it's really about, you know, where her preference is,

189
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: and so she wants to be around primarily black kids

190
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: and to get that cultural experience that's a part of

191
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: her education as well that she may not have had

192
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: as much as K through twelve depending on the demographics

193
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: of her school. So I say, go for a girl,

194
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: she's gonna be She's going to be a powerhouse.

195
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: An goes yeah, And I like that too.

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: I like you pointing out the opposite because my niece,

197
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: a god daughter that went who my best friend.

198
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: I were having this conversation.

199
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: She you know, grew up in Atlanta, so she went

200
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 2: to nothing but black schools, and she went to owe

201
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: You where they went to owe You, you know, which

202
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: is a you know, white university. So she wanted the opposite,

203
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: and Jada may go be around black folks, say, you know,

204
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: I had enough black.

205
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: Folks second year.

206
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: I might want to do something else, but it's important

207
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: to her because obviously her mama is a straight up revolutionary,

208
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: so she has gotten that from me. Right, I had

209
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: a chance to experience that with peers, and so that

210
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: is very important. And like you said, if you were

211
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: already you know a part of that, you felt you

212
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: got that experience very much. One of the reasons why

213
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: I college wasn't the traditional way wasn't just attractive to

214
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: me like everybody else is, because like I said, I

215
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: already had an apartment, I was already working, I was

216
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: already making money. I was already you know, kind of

217
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: in adulthood where everybody else was, you know, excited to

218
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: finally have a dorm room. Also, I should my best

219
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: friend again, the one we did the show with, who

220
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: you know, was having this conversation with She's five years

221
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: older than me, four or five years older than me.

222
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: When she went to OU, I was following her every weekend.

223
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: So I felt even though I wasn't in college, I

224
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: still was, you know, running behind her and sneaking and

225
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 2: going to parties with her and telling my mom, oh,

226
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna be in the dorm. We're gonna be in

227
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: at midnight, and really we wasn't. You know, they have

228
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: locators back then, so we go, you know, make a

229
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: call all at the dorm, you know, from the landline phone,

230
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: and then go back out and have good time.

231
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: You know.

232
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: So even with her, but I was a lot younger,

233
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: so all my experiences were always way ahead of me.

234
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: So even though I was in high school and she

235
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: was in college by the time I got to college age,

236
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: none of that excited me at all.

237
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: Uh So.

238
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: To Jada, I'm so excited for her because she actually

239
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: lived life at the right age, you know, doing things

240
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: at the right age.

241
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: You know.

242
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: I went to the prom with a gang banger, you know, Jada,

243
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: going to the prom with you, I really did. The

244
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: first year we went, you know, all girls, all cheerleads,

245
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: went byself. But the second year I went with Ricky

246
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: Stoner's dressed in peace.

247
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: Well with a whole blood.

248
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: My boyfriend had a house at the time, was dating

249
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: a guy I was older than me, you know, running

250
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: from the fest from LA That's how miss fud So

251
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: my experience, which I've always had a very balanced you know,

252
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: he had had no talking to me, by the way,

253
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: let's put that on the record.

254
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 3: But I've always had a fair back. You know. I

255
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 3: lived my life at my.

256
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: Age at a age appropriate friends, cheerleader, you know. I

257
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: went to had drill team. That's where Tammy and I

258
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: became best friends. I should and I became best friends

259
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: through the church. That's why I know the word the

260
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: way that I do. Was in the choir, did all

261
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: of that. But I always stressed you at a time though,

262
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: I still grew up in a very gang related time.

263
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: So even the boys in our drill team were still

264
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: affiliated with bloods and crips in one way or the other.

265
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: So even my so even though I was doing all

266
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: of these things age appropriate, I never dated anybody in

267
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: my high school ever. You know, like I said, I'm

268
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: bovering at a house and pushing keys and you know,

269
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to school with chains on and all of that,

270
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 2: and get you know, caught fancy cars. So so by

271
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: the time the college, you know, I remember, probably not

272
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: everybody was a sight oh girl.

273
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: We got a hotel room, like my man got a

274
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: whole four.

275
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: Bedroom house, you know, so I just so I was

276
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: way ahead, you know, for my age. And again let's

277
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: be clear, he had no business talking to me, being

278
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: very clear about that. Uh, but my experience was just different,

279
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: and so to be, I was a grown woman. I

280
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: go to go to Langston. What and who's gonna take?

281
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: Who gonna what about my car? And what about I

282
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: already got a fly place. What I'm gonna go sit

283
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: up an adorn and eed noodles? How am I gonna

284
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: pay my car payment?

285
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 3: How am I gonna?

286
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 2: Now, my mother has said you're going to college in

287
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: a discussion because she went to Oklahoma State.

288
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: So she went and did the traditional thing.

289
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: But if she had pushed and said, no, you're going

290
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna figure out how to pay this car

291
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: or something like that, I probably would have went. I

292
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: didn't have that extra because my mother empowered me to

293
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: make the decision as well, so I didn't have that

294
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: extra push. Now, it's always been known Jada going to college.

295
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: I pushed that because I knew what not empowering me

296
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: looked like. I still ended up getting my degree, as

297
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: you know, bachelor's and masters and you know all of that.

298
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: But it was always known Jada was going to college,

299
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,239
Speaker 2: no advancing buts about it. But I empowered her to decide,

300
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: you know, what she wants to do and what she

301
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: wants her journey to look like.

302
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: And I do want you to have that. I do

303
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: want her to have that experience.

304
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: Where you're like, oh, remember when we were in college,

305
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: and remember my college days, and remember I wanted to

306
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: have that.

307
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 3: I always wanted, I always admired. You know.

308
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: It was mandatory Je to watch the Cosmic Show in

309
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: a Different World and Cheers every single Thursday, Like literally

310
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: mandatory my mother was. It was very deliberate and intentional

311
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: about what I watched on TV. I think I've told

312
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: you this before. I couldn't watch Good Times, I couldn't

313
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: want Sandford and Son, I could watch The Jeffersons. She

314
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 2: was very clear about like what she wanted to put

315
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,239
Speaker 2: in my mind. So I did I remember being young.

316
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead, could you watch two two seven?

317
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: Two to seven was not that was in the nineties,

318
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: but it wasn't a we had family night m so

319
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: she never said anything about two to seven. It wasn't

320
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: really popular, like enough to She didn't have an issue

321
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: with that. It was just the shows that she knew

322
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: for sure, she didn't like Good Times because she wanted

323
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: them to get out the ghetto, right, you know, people say, oh, no,

324
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: it was about a black man, a black family. No,

325
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: she didn't like Good Times the same way the actors

326
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: didn't like Good Times, you know, the the Chicken George

327
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: of it all. You know, the jj EP.

328
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: I forget his name is Am James.

329
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: As he didn't like it either. So my mother didn't

330
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: like it for the same reason he didn't like it.

331
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: She's like, okay in the ghetto, but when they gonna

332
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: when they're gonna move on up, which is why I

333
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: could watch the Jeffersons. So she was very clear she

334
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: would appreciate the black man had us owned business and

335
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: you know, a nice place.

336
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: She's very intentional about that.

337
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: She didn't like SANFORDI Son not because she had a

338
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: problem with having a junk yard, because her dad was

339
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: a mechanic and had that very similar look you know

340
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: on his on his plate, you know, with different you know,

341
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: they got parts everywhere and uh old cars, and my

342
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: grandfather's shop looked very much like a Sanford and Solf.

343
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: You know, it wasn't a junk place, but had that

344
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: type of same setup.

345
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: So It wasn't that she looked down on that, but

346
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: she did make the point to say, but why does

347
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: he have to sell junk?

348
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: Though? Why did they make that?

349
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: Like?

350
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: Why why was that his?

351
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: You know why that She was very clear about, you know,

352
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: black and the main thing she didn't like was him

353
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: calling his son a dummy. So what everybody thinks is humorous,

354
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: to my mother, she did not like a black man

355
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: calling his child a dummy. She never found that funny

356
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: at all.

357
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Always say your big dummy and then the audience will

358
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: laugh at right a chance.

359
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: She didn't like that at all.

360
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: She like she was very mothers, very clear about words,

361
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: how you talk to your children. She never custom me.

362
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: She just wanted a cusshim woman, period, but she didn't

363
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: cuss me. She was a type of woman. We didn't

364
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: turn this into it to show about my mama.

365
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: So I love it. Let's just go with it.

366
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: She if she sees if she saw people say all girl,

367
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: what are you over doing on nothing? Being bad, and

368
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: she would say stop calling him bad, like why would

369
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: you call him bad? They'll start believing that. So she

370
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: would stop young mothers and say, you know, sweetie, don't

371
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: call them bad, you know, they would always receive her

372
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: because the way she, you know, would approach people. She's

373
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: very intentional about her words. So as a in the

374
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: fifth and sixth grade, I did have I did want

375
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: to go to college, you know, watching a different world.

376
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 3: I did have that.

377
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: But once I got into high school and again I

378
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: just want to play. I think a lot of that

379
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: reflecting back, you know, because I was attracted to that

380
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: street side. No matter what my mother did, I still

381
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: I still was in the pirate hood and that street

382
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: side and they get money and have my own money

383
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: and have my own business and have my own apartment

384
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: and have my own house. That attracted me more than

385
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 2: the college experience. So that did you know, that did

386
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: make a difference. But yeah, so it was about the lineup.

387
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: It was about Thursday, We're gonna sit here and we're

388
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: gonna order me Lover's pizza, and we're going to watch

389
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: this together as a family.

390
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: She was just very clear about that.

391
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: Was the quality time of the week and let's get

392
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: let's get these good messages in your mind and even cheers.

393
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: She wanted me to have humor, the sarcastic humor, the

394
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: witty humor, humor as well.

395
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: You can make a whole analogy out of anything. I'm like,

396
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: that's a skill and the gift.

397
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: Yes, she's telling me watched shears, she would have me

398
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: watch Carobnett, Mash you know shows that had white comedy.

399
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: She just wanted to make sure and just think going

400
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 2: back thinking, you know, make sure that I just had

401
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: a a lens that just wasn't stuck in one you know,

402
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: in one lane.

403
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: I love that, And I was like, your daughter, Jada

404
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: has picked that up because she's a whole entrepreneur and

405
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: no matter where she goes to school, I know she's

406
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: going to be killing it with her grades. She's going

407
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: to be involved on her campus, and she's going to

408
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: have about five jobs, five five businesses. Excuse me of

409
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: her own right, trying.

410
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: To not I'm trying to tell her, Jada, don't worry

411
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: about that focused on school, because your parents really do

412
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: have you.

413
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: She just likes working, just to work. It's just in her.

414
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: But her dad is like that.

415
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: I'm like that. I've always just like, no matter what,

416
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: I just like working to work. But I also I

417
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: was working because that is how I supplied you know,

418
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 2: my hair and nails and you know, different things that

419
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: I wanted because my mother just you know, even if

420
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: my stepfather was a whole dentist, but they just didn't

421
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 2: make a lot of money. He was a dentist director

422
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: at a clinic that was a free clinic, so he

423
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: wasn't Which is I find it so interesting in that

424
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: that's what Jada wants to do. She wants her own business,

425
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: but she wants a certain part carved out that's you know,

426
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: focused on nonprofit and people you know, less than and

427
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: for a less.

428
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: Fortune and all that.

429
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: So I don't want her to try to focus on

430
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: having jobs and businesses. I know she will, but I

431
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: really just want her to know we got you. You know,

432
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: you got your car. You know, you'll be able to

433
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: live in a dorm. You'll you'll have an allowance every

434
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: month to you know, still get your nails and your

435
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: hair and all of that and just enjoy, you know,

436
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: just enjoy because I just I just didn't have that.

437
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: And so I'm just just super duper proud, you know,

438
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: of her, and so blessed that God has put me

439
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: in position. And you know, the media is very volatile,

440
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 2: so who's the state you know, I'm I'm I'm trusting

441
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 2: God too, you know, and things that I have laid

442
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: out sometimes Jade, I may you know, I've told you

443
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: sometimes I may have a great year and sometimes I

444
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: may not get a check for two years straight. So

445
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: all of that is in God's hands. But I just

446
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: believe that, you know, he has set her U. We're

447
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: gonna apply for some scholarships and stuff you know as well,

448
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: but still the costs to keep kids in schools, you know,

449
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: scholarship or not.

450
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: You know, they need money, they need you know, other things.

451
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: So I'm just putting it on the Lord, just putting

452
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: it on him, baby, that's it. But watching her face

453
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: open up that email and little tears running down a

454
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: little face, and you know, knowing that I work has

455
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: paid off really lessen it is.

456
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: So I tell my mom that she got into her

457
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: Alma Martyr. Oh my gosh. You know, my mom be

00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,000

00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,199

Speaker 3: fam you That's it. That's it.

462
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: So you know she changed her her mind. And I'm

463
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: gonna say this too because this is also just something

464
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: to note on why health care is so important. Healthcare

465
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: reform is so important, you know, her being able to

466

Speaker 2: stay on her uh because you know, I'm self employed,

467
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: so I don't have health care, but she's on her

468
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: dad's health care and to be able to stay on

469
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: that till twenty six is important, you know, having access

470
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: to that. Again, when we talk about reproductive rights, we're

471
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: not just talking about no abortion, we're talking about birth

472
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: control as well. That helps us and our fribroys and

473
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: our painful periods and all of that type of stuff.

474
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: So having access to health care is huge. Being able

475
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 2: to stay on and until she's twenty six. But she

476
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 2: only can stay on she stays in this if she

477
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: goes in the state where her dad lives, so that

478
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: limits her opportunities. Well, Jay, so if you if she's saying, hey,

479
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: I want to go to this college, Okay, baby, you're

480
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: gonna go, and I'm gonna figure out how we you know,

481
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna get your health care taking care of some

482
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: type of way. But I just want to put that

483
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: out on the table that that's also part of the

484
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: equation on what can stop somebody from going to another

485
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 2: school out of state or you know, because what if

486
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 2: they have health issues and so because we don't have

487
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: medicare for all because there's not you know, still good

488
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: adequate health care that parents can afford, you know, to

489
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 2: be in or even for these students and nothing else.

490
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: They should be able to go to college and have

491
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: access to health care. So that's something you know also

492
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: that I just kind of want to put on the table.

493
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point and not something that you

494
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: know a lot of folks, well parents are coached throwing

495
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: when they're applying for the different schools or you know,

496
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: coming up at the college lists for children for their kids.

497
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: So that's a good that's good fact, you know that.

498
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: And it depends on the state, you know some and

499
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: it depends on you go to a public college or

500
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: university or private college of university as well. With that

501
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: healthcare could look like too, and what resources are available

502
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: on campus.

503
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we just turned this into the Jada Show

504
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: I love, but before we close, you said, there's something

505
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: that you kind of want to bring up their relates

506
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 2: to this.

507
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, you know, Jada is an overachiever, and

508
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of young people have their own businesses,

509
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: and of course the younger generations they started their own

510
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: businesses as influencers on social media. And so I can

511
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: across an article that parents and you know, families and

512
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: children that benefit off of children in California having their

513
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: social media content businesses, they now have to pay they

514
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: have to pay taxes on that money. Now, so this

515
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: is interesting.

516
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, so come to the world, I mean, welcome to

517
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: the world. Yeah, you making made money?

518
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes.

519
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: And this is the thing and this is a distinction

520
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: before we transition into the story that I want to

521
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: say to you, Tess, as a model parent, you and

522
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: Jada's dad that you know, have raised her to be

523
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: the very capable, independent young woman who's business savvy. That's

524
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. And y'all are giving her the freedom

525
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: to choose like how she wants to do her business

526
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: and then also you know, nurture her aspirations to just

527
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: have her be a child. That's beautiful. But unfortunately we

528
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: also know that sometimes parents really push their children, you know,

529
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: into Hollywood, into other you know, forms of media to

530
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: really profit off of that. And so California they have

531
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: this bill and it says a California parents who profit

532
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: from social media content featuring their children must now set

533
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: aside a portion of their earnings for the child's future.

534
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: The new leaders, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, are aimed

535
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: at protecting young social media influencers from financial exploitation.

536
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 2: I love that, oh man, I love telling you Jay,

537
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: Governor news he continues to impress me.

538
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: You know, I don't like everything that he does, but

539
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm with that. And it's so crazy you said that.

540
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: This is why I love you.

541
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: Know again, let me shut out to you, Jay, like

542
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: for producing in real time. I just want to give

543
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: you a shout out to say, because some of my

544
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: producers what I was trying to tell him a revolt.

545
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: To be a political producer, you have to like watch

546
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: all things all the time. It's not something you can

547
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: just prepare for every now and then because you're constantly

548
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: pour you know, pouring information in. So I just want

549
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: to give you that shout out because they don't know

550
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: that you literally just pulled this up while I was

551
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: talking about Jada. We're spos been talking about something totally different.

552
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to give the shout out to Jada, but

553
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: I didn't think it would turn to the whole show.

554
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: So shout out to you for you know, pulling that

555
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: right now. Because you're always watching information and this is

556
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 2: what makes it so fly, I literally and because I'm

557
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: always trying to get information as well. I just watched

558
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: the Gary Coleman documentary on Peacock.

559
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: Did you see it? I got to see it.

560
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: I want to watch it with my mom because I

561
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: know he was exploited when he was a kid. Yeah.

562
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it just goes right to the point of

563
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: like what these bills are with exploiting children, not making

564
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: sure you know that they have something set aside, not

565
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: making sure you know that they're able to manage some

566
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: of that. And again, the explication of kids have always

567
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: went on way before social media, you know, especially with

568
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: these child stars. So that's nothing new. But watch that

569
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: documentary because I just didn't know it. Besides, he had

570
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: a lot of problems, not just with the being exploited,

571
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: but just really sad. It's just a really sad documentary

572
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: of you know, what he struggled with, and you know,

573
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: depression and the kidney. I didn't know, and I'll want

574
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: to spoil it, but I'll just say this, he didn't

575
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: have a kidney all the way from nineteen eighty five

576
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: until he died, which I believe was in twenty ten.

577
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: No at all he had a care had a I

578
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: don't even know how.

579
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: He went to dialysis three times a week, so he

580
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: didn't have you know, he didn't have a kid literally

581
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: his kidney. He got a kidney transplant when he was young,

582
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: and they said he wasn't gonna make it until he

583
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: was twelve, and at twelve he would need a new one,

584
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: but he never got one and the body absorbed it.

585
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: So he was on dialysis three times a week that

586
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: whole time without a.

587
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Kid I can only imagine how you know, expensive you

588
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: know that is, but that type of treatment, so.

589
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: Even though it's a lot expensive, it's so drained into

590
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: the body, like it's a lot, it pulls a lot

591
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: out of out of you to go to dialysis, you know.

592
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: And for those who don't know, I'm sure people do.

593
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 3: I just like to get people information.

594
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: You know.

595
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: Dialysis, It takes all of your blood out your body

596
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: and then cleans it and puts it back in.

597
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: So it's a long process. It's an exhausting process.

598
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 2: I remember when I worked at Geico, one of our

599
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: employees we had to go to dialyos a couple of

600
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 2: times a week and she just always just come back

601
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: just it ays like just the blood just drained out

602
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: of her body because it literally did you know? She

603
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: always had a pasty look, not a lot of color,

604
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: always very tired, very weak. And so he was doing

605
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 2: all this acting through all of that as well, and

606
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 2: I never knew that he thought even thought about that,

607
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: you know what that was putting him through.

608
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 3: But girl, go check it out. But finished with the

609
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 3: bill because that.

610
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: Gary and his wife and his own it's just really

611
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: a cautionary tale, sad on many many ways, and I'm

612
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: just like, ugh.

613
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 3: But tell us more about this governors and bill.

614
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, so the laws I didn't know that, but these

615
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: laws that Gavin Newsmith's put out in this bill, they

616
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: update California's eighty year regulations for child performers, and those

617
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: regulations for child performers originally focused on Hollywood, but now

618
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: they include miners making money on platforms like TikTok, Instagram,

619
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: and YouTube. So the laws, which they received by bipartters

620
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: of support, they require parents to track their child's appearance

621
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: on content and earnings from those posts. Children are entitled

622
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: to a percentage of the profits if the content generates

623
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: at least ten cents per view at least fifteen percent

624
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: of a child's influencers earnings must be placed in a trust,

625
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: which will become accessible to them when they turn eighteen.

626
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: I love this. Children also have the right to sue

627
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: their parents if these provisions are not followed. In the

628
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: state of California, these NEWDLE protections a mirror the Coogan Law,

629
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: which has safeguarded child actors' earnings since nineteen thirty nine

630
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: after Silent film actor Jackie Coogan sued his parents for

631
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: wasting his income.

632
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

633
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: I love that because obviously if they're setting up on

634
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: Instagram and you know, you set up to be paid

635
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: to monetized and can't go to a kid, so all

636
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: this time they get money and the kids just enjoyed

637
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: being cute and being funny, but the parents, you know,

638
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: are benefiting that.

639
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: So I love that. That is awesome.

640
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: I know. I'm sure conservatives I would say, oh, they're

641
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: just trying to figure out a way to get more

642
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: taxes or whatever it is, but it is what it is.

643
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: You know, it's a business. You're making money. There's the

644
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: reason why.

645
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about the TikTok being banned, how

646
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: it was really gonna affect you know, a lot of

647
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: people are making money, But I love that In Florida,

648
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: I was a guardian guardian at Linum and for those

649
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: that don't know, that's an advocate that the court appoints

650
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: to children who have been abused as as a mediator,

651
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: and so I really really believe in that and support that.

652
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: So shout out to Governor Newsom for that bill. These

653
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: are the kind of things that they need to be

654
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: talking about that I enjoy talking about at the state

655
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: and local level that they don't. They don't understand, like

656
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: this a lot going on besides just Harris Trump. Harris Trump,

657
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: you know there. These are important things that you should

658
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: be looking at to see if your state as one,

659
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: or you should be looking to see if there's something,

660
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: you know, if something can happen on your end.

661
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: This is why local.

662
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Policies is important. Government to me is far more important

663
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: to me than the President of the United States. It

664
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: just is because it just dictates everything in the state.

665
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: So that's that's a bill that I think is pretty

666
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: pretty fly.

667
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: Guess what Illinois similar Their law only applies to children

668
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: under sixteen, just FYI, But in California extends it to

669
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: all minors under eighteen and.

670
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: Again we give credit where's due and credit and and

671
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: call it out when it needs to be called out,

672
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: like what they failed or failed to bring the bill

673
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: to the floor on reparations, so uh in California, so

674
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: we can call it out and also say, oh this

675
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: is a good bill as well.

676
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: There there can I know, in this.

677
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: YouTube being world, there's this one or the other black

678
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: or white. But that's really not how real life works.

679
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: You know.

680
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: Real life is you get some things right, you get

681
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: some things wrong. We can still call it out at

682
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: the same time. We can say oh this was good. Look,

683
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: oh you coon, and oh you you shilling?

684
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: Oh you this, oh you that.

685
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: No, it's just simply saying that I like this one

686
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: particular thing, I like the I like and removing the

687
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: gang enhancement I do, you know, go for go do

688
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: the crime. But just because you're affiliated with the gang

689
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: and you get extra time, when literally everybody in California

690
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 2: is a peeling you can connect that dot easily, affiliated

691
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: one way or another, just by where you live, people

692
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: are getting double time. So when when things are done right,

693
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 2: they're done right. When they're not, they're not.

694
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: I agree.

695
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,600
