It's time for Atlanta to have represent 25 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: representation that is reflective of the young people that make 26 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: Atlanta what it is, um quint and you really would 27 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: be there for us absolutely. Look, I went to school. 28 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: I graduated from the Andrew Young School of Public Policy 29 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: at Georgia State, which by the way, is ranked over Harvard. 30 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: Graduated top ten per cent of my class, worked as 31 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: a legislative a work for Department of Behavioral Health and 32 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: Development of Disabilities. On top of being a hip hop head, 33 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: on top of being a file the homeowner, a business owner, 34 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: an influencer in the education space. Now it's time for 35 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: us to have influence on policy. Because we did a 36 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: lot of marching for the last year fighting for social justice. 37 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: We did a lot of marching talking about needing police 38 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: reform and these type of things. The people who are 39 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: in office don't have the political will to do the 40 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: right thing. So now it's our time. Now it's our time. 41 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: It is our time, and what is it gonna take 42 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: for it to be out of time? Listen, we got 43 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: thirty six thousand young people that are registered to vote. 44 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: But the problem is that young people don't get engaged. 45 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: And I think it has a lot to do with 46 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: the fact that run for people who run for office, 47 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: they don't look like us, they don't sound like us, 48 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: they don't talk like us, and they don't talk for us. 49 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: So we get this engaged. So people like yourself, having 50 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: platforms like you have giving us the space to share 51 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: and tap in with young people just how we get 52 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: them inspired. This is how we get them activated. We 53 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: go out and we vote for presidential elections, but when 54 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: it's the local election and I'm talking about this is 55 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: stuff we feel right making Atlanta for a simple marijuana 56 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: is decriminalized. The person I'm running against believes that marijuana 57 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: is the reason that the rest of America things we 58 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: saw from crime, and it's the reason why crime goes up. 59 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: But ever since they decriminalized marijue, it's being hard to 60 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: find good week. They might the white people might know 61 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: exactly what they're talking about. Man, since since they decriminalizes, 62 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: like all the drug deals moved or something, it's time 63 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: for us. Honestly, man, it sounds us to legalize it 64 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: throughout the state. Though. Yeah, it sounds us sure, that's 65 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: the type of ship that you talk that it gets 66 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: your elected. Man, So what's the process into getting you 67 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: into the Atlanta City Council? What we need to do 68 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: as a community, as a community, this is the real, right, 69 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: These elections are not free. They're not free. It takes 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: a lot of money to be able to send out 71 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: mail or send out those text messages that get on 72 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: your nerves, right, They get you get up though, right, 73 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: So we need to be able to get some funding 74 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: behind this campaign. We need the influencers of Atlanta to 75 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: not be on the sidelines and be complaining about stuff 76 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: that actually activate to push what we're trying to do. 77 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: You need them really to get behind this this campaign 78 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: and help this thing go off off the way we 79 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: needed to right now, though I got like six people 80 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: in my race, but I'm right one or two throughout 81 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: the entire city. Like, we definitely are resonating with the people, 82 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: and ain't nobody working harder than me. Well, we're gonna 83 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: get this ship out immediately though. It's one of those 84 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: ones where we have to handle with a sense of 85 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: urgency because you seem to be sincere and have the 86 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: people's knees at heart, and we're gonna need some more 87 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: of these hats. Yes, I think if it was more 88 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: of these hats available to the young men in the 89 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: city of Atlanta, it would be a lot more cool 90 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: ship going on. Imagine that. Imagine that. And those hats 91 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: came from a black hat maker right here in the 92 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: city shout out to wish I had company, and my 93 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: brother stands outen them. Yeah, and then some people gonna 94 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: watch this and be like, why does everything have to 95 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: be black? Because we don't have enough ship. We need 96 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: to know where our people are and what they're doing 97 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: and how we can help them. And that's actly while 98 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: we created this platform. If there's anything I could do 99 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: to help my man get elected to the Atlanta City Council, 100 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: and I know he's gonna be in there represent my 101 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: interest with this kind of ship on.

How long have you been out campaigning? Man? Listen? 112 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: We have to be honest with you. I've been doing 113 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: the work before running for office. Right after the killing 114 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: of George Floyd, right ten days later, one o'clock in 115 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: the morning, I get the phone called it someone that 116 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: got a shot in the drive through at the Wendy's 117 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: and that folks were going bersert about what was going on. 118 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: They were, They were rightfully so. But the reason why 119 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: I was called is because they know that people in 120 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: the community trust me. They know that people in the 121 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: community will listen when I try to bring some calm 122 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: and make some common sense about it.

That's the problem. That's the 171 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: problem old as white folks were growing everything, bro. Yeah, 172 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: and it's people. But in the city like Atlanta, is 173 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: people who look like us that create policies and laws 174 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: that are the most harmful to us because they be 175 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: they only got half for the information down be out 176 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: here like that. It's true. They gotta touch you gotta 177 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: really be among people, and we do too much about 178 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: people without people. I want you to get elected and 179 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: don't forget about traffic when you get elected. Traffic needs 180 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: to be addressed. Traffic in the city of right, people 181 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: need to go to work at like ten o'clock in 182 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: the morning because yeah, we gotta like change the schedule. 183 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: The problem, man, we got so many different issues. While 184 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: that's the case, though, but a lot of it has 185 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: to do with like our public transportation system is more 186 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: inconvenient than it is like helpful, you know what I'm saying. 187 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: So like in the potholes to a lot of traffic 188 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: results of people trying to swerve potholes. Facts, that's a fact. 189 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: That's a fact. But imagine though, like honestly, like if 190 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: people could do their work on the way to work 191 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: taking public transportations. I'm just saying, man, on the updated, 192 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: but yeah, the pothole, the roles are raggedy. Yeah, Atlanta, 193 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: you're going up boulevard, it's like riding on gravel. Bro 194 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: it's trying. It's trash. I've seen I've seen a dude 195 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: take his rams off. Just said, yes, put some big 196 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: as some rams. Put some big SUV tires on it, 197 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, like the police ram. Just no, that's a fact. 198 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: What do you think though, from your opinion, what do 199 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: you think is the most important thing going on in 200 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: the city that we should be focused on the most 201 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: important thing that's going on in the city. It's a 202 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: lot of disruption. They're trying to displace people, and that's 203 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: why it has so much tension. Like Atlanta is growing 204 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: so fast and the people who's not willing to accept 205 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: the change of being forced out. Yeah, you get what 206 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's driving out a whole lot of a 207 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: whole lot of the things that make Atlanta Atlanta. Was 208 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: was the peace in the car, But now it's so 209 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: much bullshit. Get what I'm saying. I don't know. I 210 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: think right now, man, we we are at a place 211 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: where Atlanta is not going to be Atlanta anymore if 212 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: we are not intentional about what we do right now, 213 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: plain and simple, like I think right now, like we 214 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: got votes, you know, running around using crime, right just 215 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: the overarching word crime to try to win votes, to 216 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: scare people to change it. That's the thing about it. 217 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: They're trying to make Atlanta sound way worse than it 218 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: actually is. Not. That's the thing though, right So, Like 219 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: first off, like y'all know, we got the weather. I 220 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: ain't gonna name the blogs, but they're out there that 221 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: every time somebody see a car window get broken into it, whatever, 222 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: they put it up on the story and try to 223 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: make it seem like, yeah, but that that happened anywhere. 224 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: The numbers are lower than they have been for the 225 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: last ten years right now. When it comes to auto staff, 226 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to car break ins and all the things, 227 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: and the car breakings and auto theft is when people 228 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: leave their keys in the car. Most of this stuff 229 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: is preventable. Most of the gun crime that's occurred right now, 230 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: it's with stolen firearms have been stolen out of vehicles. 231 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: Like it's just some common senses that we could do, 232 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: like listen, I'm all for gun rights. I want several firearms, right, 233 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: but when you leave your vehicle, don't leave it in 234 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: the arm rest, under the seat, Lock it in the 235 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: in the trunk, lock it in the glove compartment. You 236 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, it's just common sense things 237 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: that we need to start taking responsibility for that that 238 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: will tie trade sign me off a lot of the 239 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: stuff that we're don't playing it simple. We want to 240 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: make it safer. We gotta do our part too. There's 241 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: a lot of that going on. You know. That's the 242 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: city that that those are the things that happened in 243 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: the city that make it the city. It's a major city, man, 244 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: it's a major city. But we also got to make 245 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: sure that it's a city where we don't criminalize blackness. 246 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: We don't criminal That's the one that's you put it 247 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: perfectly when you're asking me what I thought it was, 248 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: That's what I know what it is, criminalizing blackness. Yeah, 249 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 1: because I don't think the people who like you said 250 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: that that are in the position to make decisions understand 251 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: exactly what Atlanta is right now. Yeah, And it's like 252 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: since the world shut down, it's like the importance of 253 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: this place because it never lost this freedom, you know 254 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, even doing the quarantine, it still 255 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: was a certain level of yeah. Yeah. But also, look, 256 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: the governor of Georgia basically made Atlanta the playground for 257 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: America for a long time, you know what I'm saying, 258 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: And I think there was something there's some dangers in 259 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: that as well. But you know, Atlanta is supposed to 260 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: be like a safe haven for blackness and black culture 261 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: because this is a very given CID. Correct. Correct. We're 262 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: supposed to be the city that's too busy to hate, 263 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: and we're supposed to be the city that has young, 264 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: forward thinking, progressive in the city Council. And then these 265 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: positions to help us get our voices of cross. Yeah, 266 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: you don't lose at some point, even when folks get 267 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: into office. I think we do a disservice when we 268 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: stay in office until we die in office. And I 269 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: think too often that happens in person I'm running against 270 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: be in office. Right, we don't know that it's watching 271 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: it's folks watching this show right now weren't even born yet. 272 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: Since that person, they're definitely gonna vote for him. No, 273 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: but if they vote at all, So that's the part 274 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: that we got to do better on. Right. We can't 275 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: complain we're not getting police for them, but don't vote. 276 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: We can't complain that Atlanta is getting unaffordable, and don't vote, 277 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: Like we can't complain about these things, um, but not 278 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: put people in the position to who actually want to 279 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: do the work right. Well, you got to do your 280 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: part too, because if you win this ship, I want 281 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: you to wear the biggest head that you can and 282 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: something and we're gonna get a grill.
