Speaker 1: I tended.
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes we all get out our own way that.
Speaker 1: Part, you know, another business. Sometimes we just man got
Speaker 1: to do better.
Speaker 2: Start making this cue.
Speaker 1: I think that's important for.
Speaker 2: Us to be responsible for what we know.
Speaker 1: Let's start complaining.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm sorry, Please excuse me.
Speaker 2: It's a system here for the Unicorn children's book and
Speaker 2: black for the last black Unicorn, black uniform, Leak's bookshelf,
Speaker 2: bringing a world together with books, culture and community. Now
Speaker 2: I'm standing here at the La Times Festival book. I'm
Speaker 2: at usc I got doctor Muriel k at our booth,
Speaker 2: did a sign and talk to us about your experience
Speaker 2: out here at the Los Angeles Times Festival book.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been so invigorating, Like people are just
Speaker 4: so excited about books. People are excited about my Leak's books,
Speaker 4: and it's wonderful to be able to connect with readers
Speaker 4: about how they're breaking cycles, how they're experiencing the healing
Speaker 4: that's within the book. Like it's it's so wonderful to
Speaker 4: be here. And this place is packed with so much energy,
Speaker 4: with so much abundance, with so much to do, with
Speaker 4: so much to take in. It's just such a dope
Speaker 4: place to be.
Speaker 2: Now. Now I should I said your name, but I
Speaker 2: should have also included the title of your book.
Speaker 1: So mentioned the title in ut Okay.
Speaker 4: So it's Break the Cycle, a Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma,
Speaker 4: And it's exactly that. It's a healing guy that helps
Speaker 4: us to navigate the traumas of the past, the traumas
Speaker 4: that are within our families that didn't get resolved, got
Speaker 4: passed down. But it's time to just disrupt those cycles
Speaker 4: and step into abundance. And step into better legacies. So
Speaker 4: that's what we're doing here.
Speaker 2: You know, we talked earlier about the fact that I'm
Speaker 2: personally you know, I know I passed on some generational
Speaker 2: well this guy got it on a bike with a boombox,
Speaker 2: you know, watch Out the South got something.
Speaker 1: Let's step on into the book.
Speaker 2: But but we got that big bookmore build out.
Speaker 1: Here at the La Toms Festers book. Now we got
Speaker 1: a little pricy well from all that music.
Speaker 2: But you know I mentioned earlier about I know I
Speaker 2: passed on some generational trauma just you know, and I.
Speaker 1: Want to break the cycle.
Speaker 2: But first I got a knowledge that I have an
Speaker 2: issue and something that need to be broken. So you know,
Speaker 2: just talk to my audience at Malie's bookshelf about some
Speaker 2: tips they can do to identify and.
Speaker 1: To make change.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it, like the first thing is we
Speaker 4: got to like step into a destigmatized way of looking
Speaker 4: at our mental health. Like I love that you're saying,
Speaker 4: like we we all got stuff, right, Like, so I
Speaker 4: got stuff, you got stuff, And if we don't want
Speaker 4: to pass it down, or if we don't want to
Speaker 4: pass it down anymore, then it's going to be important
Speaker 4: for us to acknowledge it, like, yeah, I got some trauma,
Speaker 4: I didn't sort it out, and now I want to
Speaker 4: do something about it. So that's step one. Step two
Speaker 4: is really like recognizing the ways that our traumas be
Speaker 4: shore gowing up in our daily lives. Like if you're
Speaker 4: that person that everybody's like, that's the yeller of the family,
Speaker 4: you may not be a yeller per se. You may
Speaker 4: just be somebody that's deep in trauma and every time
Speaker 4: you get triggered by something, you start yelling. So start
Speaker 4: looking at the patterns in your life that are actually
Speaker 4: problematic or are disrupting your relationships, and start working from there.
Speaker 2: You said about yelling, ye, I need to learn something
Speaker 2: about how to prevent that.
Speaker 1: After being frustrated.
Speaker 2: You know, I got some achilles heels, got some breaking points.
Speaker 2: You know. There's some things that you know in progress,
Speaker 2: you know, and I find myself like certain things I
Speaker 2: snap at, you know, and and I find that I
Speaker 2: take it out on the people that's closest to me.
Speaker 2: Then then outsiders, and yet to people's closer.
Speaker 1: Than me are the ones they love you.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: I'm getting this backwards.
Speaker 2: It's give me some tips, give me something I can
Speaker 2: just hold, like something I can just you know.
Speaker 1: They help me with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, first of all, it's so beautiful that
Speaker 4: you're asking for help. It's beautiful that you're recognizing where
Speaker 4: your patterns are. You're recognizing where you displace like some
Speaker 4: of that frustration, which is very typical for us, to
Speaker 4: displace it onto the people that we know are still
Speaker 4: going to stick around the next day, right, and that's
Speaker 4: for everybody, Like most of us do it that way.
Speaker 4: So the thing that we have to do the most
Speaker 4: is to learn to relax our minds and our bodies
Speaker 4: outside of the interactions with families. So that morning walk,
Speaker 4: I need you to start taking it. Those five ten
Speaker 4: minutes that can just clear your mind before you even
Speaker 4: dive into the first conversation of the day, and that
Speaker 4: conversation could just unravel you. That's going to be really important.
Speaker 4: It's going to be important to take those deep breaths
Speaker 4: because you're nervous. Is is going to need it. So
Speaker 4: whenever you, you know, encounter the same circumstance, you're not
Speaker 4: going to be yelling. You may be talking a little
Speaker 4: like out of frustration, but it's not going to be
Speaker 4: at the same level as before. So what we want
Speaker 4: to do is we want to dial it down right,
Speaker 4: Like we want to just like be able to get
Speaker 4: you to communicate in a way that still has love
Speaker 4: within it while expressing the frustration that's there, but that
Speaker 4: it doesn't disrupt your relationships in any way for the
Speaker 4: short term or the long term.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, I realized that, you know, the
Speaker 2: four elements, earth, air, and water on fire, and I
Speaker 2: need to control that fire and I need you know.
Speaker 1: That's why I asked you that, because it's you.
Speaker 2: Know, I'm very passion That's why I'm the hype man
Speaker 2: of books. And I found a way to redirect that
Speaker 2: fire in my passion with the books. But I haven't
Speaker 2: always been successful around some of the people just around me.
Speaker 1: They love me, and so me struggling.
Speaker 2: Trying to find a way, like a light switch, turn
Speaker 2: it on it all, trying to find ways to say, man,
Speaker 2: cut that fire off because you're about to burn up everything.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you know that's important for us to understand,
Speaker 4: like what's our element, right and how do we need
Speaker 4: to work with it? So if the fire is there,
Speaker 4: then it's going to be important to you know, when
Speaker 4: you feel that burning sensation coming up, just be like
Speaker 4: what's up?
Speaker 2: Maleik?
Speaker 4: Like what do you need? What do you need right now?
Speaker 4: Because obviously you have a need that isn't being met
Speaker 4: and so you have to yell to get that need met,
Speaker 4: to be heard, to.
Speaker 2: Be aggressive, just like I'm aggressive?
Speaker 1: Like wow, aggressive right now? Is that necessary?
Speaker 2: Right? Like?
Speaker 4: What is it that you need that you feel like
Speaker 4: you can only get through the aggressive you know, like
Speaker 4: words and language and approaches, so that you can have
Speaker 4: a better understanding of how you can then show up
Speaker 4: for yourself.
Speaker 2: And that's the key.
Speaker 4: Like it's like really going back to yourself and saying,
Speaker 4: like what am I missing? What do I need? Why
Speaker 4: am I yelling to be heard? And what is it
Speaker 4: that I can provide myself in this moment rather than
Speaker 4: be yelling to get it from others.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take them walks and please do it.
Speaker 4: And we need you to survive out here. We also
Speaker 4: need your longevity. It's also good, you know, for your
Speaker 4: health overall physical and mental. And the worth that you're
Speaker 4: doing is so powerful, so beautiful. I love Molief books.
Speaker 4: I love it here. I love your energy. And so
Speaker 4: if we want you around for a long time. Then
Speaker 4: we're gonna need you to take those.
Speaker 2: Walks, absolutely, because health is wealth, and wealth is health,
Speaker 2: and stress kills people.
Speaker 4: And especially us.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know I do a lot of things.
Speaker 2: You know, I was a tract athlete, and that's how
Speaker 2: I used to take out my aggression in mind, you know,
Speaker 2: because you got to have a certain men time to
Speaker 2: be a sprint. Like I tell people when I'm coaching,
Speaker 2: I say, look, you ain't no killer.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. To be a sprinter, you
Speaker 1: got to have a certain.
Speaker 2: Mindset because I'm about to rip every muscle in my
Speaker 2: body to run the fastest time possible. That takes a
Speaker 2: certain mindset. You ain't willing to unleash. Like me, I'm
Speaker 2: a fighter, I'm a competitor. So you know now I'm redirecting.
Speaker 1: That into books and my career and endeavors.
Speaker 2: I just I find myself, you know, trying to find
Speaker 2: techniques to channel that energy, to channel that aggression, you know,
Speaker 2: and not on the people.
Speaker 4: That love me, because you know you want them to
Speaker 4: feel your love, not your pain, right, And so it's
Speaker 4: going to be important for you to be able to
Speaker 4: work within yourself to figure out why the pain is lingering,
Speaker 4: like what is actually feeding the painting for it to
Speaker 4: still continue into today? And then you know, hope help
Speaker 4: yourself to transition, you know, from the pain by working
Speaker 4: through it, not just channeling it into this gorgeous empire
Speaker 4: that is Malik Books, but also you know, being able
Speaker 4: to actually work through the pain, like seeing yourself through it,
Speaker 4: and that way you would live the next decades of
Speaker 4: your life feeling more at ease, more peaceful, and like
Speaker 4: your relationships are more fulfilling because they have more love
Speaker 4: at the center than they would like some of that
Speaker 4: pain that you know can be there.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to thank you. I didn't anticipate yea,
Speaker 1: look at this boy. She dropped some gems on me.
Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
