A lot of times we 60 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 4: don't necessarily get that. So the fact that we're in 61 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: the middle of them all while people are shopping, hopefully 62 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 4: they can stop talk and express some of their feelings. 63 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 4: So first we'd like to discuss June teeth and what 64 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: it means to eat every one of us. You know, 65 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: the funny thing for me about June teenth is it 66 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 4: was kind of a holiday that we just started celebrating 67 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. Right when I was a kid, 68 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 4: there was no June teeth, and it just popped up. 69 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Well, Envy, we know you Dominican, so. 70 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: I am not Dominican, I'm Black, But you know, it 71 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 4: came up something that we started celebrating really heavy in 72 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 4: the last couple of years, and it meant a lot 73 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: because you know, for us it was like, oh, a 74 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 4: day off of school, a day off of work. But 75 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: now we have to get to the meeting of what 76 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: it means and why it should be celebrated. So before 77 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 4: we get into that, what does June teenth mean to you? 78 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: June teenth to me means seasoning. 79 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: And when I say seasoning, I think about like like 80 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 3: we joke around and say, like, okay, you eat in 81 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: a black household, you feel full, you feel the seasonings, 82 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: all of that. But when you think about it, seasoning 83 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: is culture. It's death, there's substance, there's a feeling, a 84 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: community of family. I think anytime you get a group 85 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: of black people together and we're talking about like things 86 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 3: that juneteen makes people remember, like you know, where we 87 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: came from, what we've overcome. 88 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: Where we're looking forward to in the future. It feels 89 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: like home. Juneteenth is that it's a day to just 90 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: be like, you know what, I'm chilling to day. I'm 91 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna be my people. 92 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonnag good, but I'm ann feel at home and 93 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: I'm a feel community in. 94 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: Love and a big hug. 95 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 5: Yeah. 96 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 4: So if you don't know, of course, Juneteenth was the 97 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 4: day that slaves in Texas finally found out that they 98 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: were free. 99 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 5: Right, they were free before. 100 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 4: That, but that was the day that they finally found out. 101 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 4: So for me, I like to do these events because 102 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: I love collaboration, right. Collaboration, in my opinion, is way 103 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 4: better than competition. If we could collaborate with each other, 104 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: there's so much that we can do. That's so we 105 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: can go a lot further, And that's what we need 106 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 4: to start doing as people. We look at all these 107 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 4: different communities and for them, they collaborate a lot easier, right, 108 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 4: They spread the knowledge a lot better, And I think 109 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 4: we have to do a lot of that ourselves. If 110 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 4: we know something that can benefit your brother or your sister, 111 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 4: we need to start talking about. 112 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 5: It a lot more. That's why I call Laura. 113 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 4: And my sister is if there's anything that she's going 114 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 4: through or I can help. I try to be there 115 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 4: to help because I don't want her to make the 116 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 4: same mistakes that I made. I don't want her to 117 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 4: see the same pitfalls and the same everything. And that 118 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 4: comes from relationship to business structure to radio and hopefully 119 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 4: she's doing the same with her family and that's. 120 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 5: What we need to do. More. 121 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: So, what's one thing that you want to see more 122 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 4: on June teenth? 123 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: I think I want to see more of Like I 124 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 3: thought that it was interesting when they were telling me 125 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: what they're doing here in the mall because I didn't 126 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: even know that this happened until you invited me to come. 127 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 3: They're highlighting small businesses, there's an expungement clinic, things like that, 128 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 3: like things that like drip down to the people, like 129 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 3: everyday people. I think a lot of times when you 130 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: talk about, like you know, diversity and inclusion, all these 131 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: things that like affect us as black people, sometimes it's 132 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 3: so high level that the everyday person who's just trying 133 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: to figure it out in a real way, you don't 134 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: feel it, nor do you have the time to stop 135 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: and care. So I would love to see more things 136 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: like this where you're bringing in these small businesses you 137 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: know these different resources like Nguement Clinic that actually help 138 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 3: people that are on their day to day just walking 139 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 3: through the mall that really need it, and it's right 140 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: there at arms reach. 141 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. 142 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 4: And I was actually talking to the prosecutor early and 143 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 4: we were just talking about different things, and a lot 144 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 4: of times we're bred to hate certain things, right, We're 145 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 4: bred to hate, you know, prosecutors' attorneys. We're bred to 146 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 4: hate police officers. But I tell everybody all the time, 147 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 4: my dad is a retired cop. 148 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 5: So I look at it. 149 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 4: From two different sides. When I was talking to the prosecutor, 150 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: I was telling her she was talking about expungements and 151 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 4: doing different things, and I was like, that is great, 152 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 4: and that's wonderful, but what would we really need to 153 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 4: do is do more things in the community. And she said, well, 154 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 4: what do you mean. I said, it's hard to tell 155 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: a sixteen year old that if I go take that 156 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: car and don't get caught, I can get ten thousand 157 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 4: dollars for doing it and tell him not to do it. Right, 158 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 4: But now if we put different things in his hand, 159 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 4: different opportunities in his hand, and says, hey, I can 160 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: still make money. 161 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 5: But I ain't got to worry about going to jail. 162 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 4: Those are the things that these kids need to see, 163 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 4: and it's not going to come from our parents. It's 164 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 4: gonna come from us, right because they want to see 165 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: it from us. It's like when your dad or your 166 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 4: mom tells you something like you really be like ima. 167 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 5: Whatever, eyepops whatever. 168 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 4: But now you get that same information from somebody that 169 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: looks like you, the same age as you, that's making 170 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 4: this ten times the money you all, you're more likely 171 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: to see it. 172 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. 173 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: I also think too, when you set up things like 174 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: what they have happening in them all, I think kids 175 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: see that like it's important because other people care about 176 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: it too. Because a lot of times, especially nowadays, but 177 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: kids like my niece is she's ten years old. A 178 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: lot of what she cares about and what she thinks 179 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 3: is important depends on who also thinks it's important and 180 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: who also cares. So I think even being able to 181 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: do something like this and just put any things on 182 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 3: platforms like this, it shows kids like, oh shoot, okay, 183 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: Lauren and Envy were there and all these people gather, 184 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 3: let me at least see what this is, and then 185 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: they learn about the small businesses and they learn about 186 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 3: and even what you're talking about, right, like creating these 187 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 3: opportunities in the community. Sometimes you got organizations that are 188 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: coming and create these opportunities. But the kids gotta they 189 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: gotta want to go, So you got to. I think 190 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: we have to do a better job. I know, like 191 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: for myself, one of the things I try to do 192 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: with even being from Delaware, just talk about being from 193 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 3: Delaware because. 194 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 4: Nobody's from Delaware. But go ahead, but Joe Biden, but 195 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: go ahead, and y'all don't claim. 196 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 5: Him, but go ahead. 197 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: Anyway, I talk about it because now you have a 198 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: lot of kids who are like, Okay, when I go somewhere, 199 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 3: I can say, oh, I'm from Delaware, and I can 200 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: feel good about it. But that wasn't always a thing 201 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: because we're a small state, you know what I mean, 202 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 3: We're not in New York. But just something like that, 203 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: like people seeing you care about something makes them care 204 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: about it. And I think when you talk about these programs, 205 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 3: we have to actually care about them. We got to 206 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: talk about them. We got to show up and do 207 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: things like this, whether it's at a YMCA, it's at 208 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: the American Dream All. 209 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: So the kids are like, Okay, this is lit, this 210 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: is where I should be. 211 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 5: Yeah. 212 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 4: And I also feel like we have to feed these kids, 213 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 4: and not feed like as far as food, but whatever they. 214 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 5: Want to do, we have to make sure we pull 215 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 5: into them, right. 216 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 4: I agree, And I say that all the time because 217 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 4: when I told my dad, who is a police officer 218 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: at the time, that I wanted to be a DJ, 219 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 4: he was going to smack the. 220 00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 5: Black off me. 221 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: Why you keep giving you keep giving me the jokes, 222 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: but smack the black off you. 223 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 5: It's not much right because but you know what I mean. 224 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 4: But I wanted to do it anyway, and he poured 225 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 4: into me regardless, even though he didn't believe. 226 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 5: And that's what we have to do. When my son came. 227 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 4: To me, I would say about eight years ago, and 228 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 4: said he wanted to be a streamer, I laughed.
