Speaker 1: And I know that Boies along with all the other hbcs,

156
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: they need the funds. They always need the funds, you know.

157
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: In this era that we're in now, with this COVID

158
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: nineteen and stuff, a lot of things have changed now

159
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: we're in a new normal. So I'm not specific about

160
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: exactly what it is they need. I just know that

161
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: they need the funds to get whatever it is because

162
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what the studies are, what all the

163
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: main studies are now because our world has changed and

164
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: we are virtually in a virtual world with a lot

165
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: of technology going on. So I'm assuming that we need

166
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: technical equipment. We need we we need um professors and

167
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: the features were like their work. We need administrators that

168
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: can come in back and teach that. They have to

169
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: have salaries, then have labs, you know, and we have

170
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: to have even promotional money because we have to make

171
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: a kid excited about right right, excited about achievement, excited

172
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: about being a part of where we are now in

173
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: the world we are, and we need the engineers. We

174
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: need people looking look at the wonderful people that went

175
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: up in space. Look at they asked them, look at them,

176
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: and look at the first state work. You know, we

177
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: we we need scientists and doctors, well COVID others. We

178
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: need a lot of doctors. Right, so were profession We're

179
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: in a new parent, new normal. So and it's not

180
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: supposed to stop learning. It's not supposed to stop right.

181
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,000

00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: that nine. I like it was gonna be a number

187
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: that was gonna be matched. I can match that. You know,

188
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: my parents, they was out there populating too. They will

189
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: populate to okay. But it's a lovely thing. It's a

190
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: lovely thing, you know. And I'll only have one daughter,

191
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: and I never forget. My daughter came off from Pope.

192
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: She was going to be you at the time, started

193
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: going to school, that's where she was going late and

194
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: she came up a fake skitter. That's a fake that's

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: like right now when this time and I met at

196
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: the airport, and now I'm so happy to see it

197
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: because she was, like I said, she's my only count three,

198
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: three thousand miles away trying to be with me. But

199
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: she jumped on my father. She said, Mama, what does

200
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: it feel like to have brothers and sisters? And my

201
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: heart spipped to be I felt so bad, I said,

202
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: it feels wonderful. It's it's jan tell is well, she said,

203
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: because every time something happened, I'm for Michael, I'm afraid,

204
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: but lcome, Tommy Ulco, Johnny. I just says, everybody just

205
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: speaks together. She said, I remember we needed to take

206
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: the house, and you guys take the house playing a

207
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: three hours because everybody take and take it. So that

208
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But my heart stipped to be and

209
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: I felt really bad because my mom had said to

210
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: have two kids, and I was busy in my career.

211
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 1: Along with the fact that I had just station of

212
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: diabetes when I had her, I just didn't want to

213
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: go there. But if I had to regret something in

214
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: my life, that would be the one thing that I

215
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: would regret. Yeah, I didn't have another child. Well I can.

216
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: I can agree with you absolutely, Yeah, like that two

217
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: open in college, you know, and I can agree. Like

218
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: I said, I come from a big family. Uh my parents.

219
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: My father the truck driver, you know, third grade education,

220
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: mom graduate of high school. And we lived in a

221
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: two bedroom shotgun house. You know, That's what I was

222
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: going in. I was born in that and so and

223
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: so my whole thing. I have one daughter, just like you.

224
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: We we have such a strong kinship. It's amazing. They

225
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: have to bring all this out in the conversation and

226
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: and so and I've had that I wish I could

227
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: have given. But I was tied up traveling because I

228
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: started out in his career as a stand up comedian,

229
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: So I was always on the road before I started

230
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: writing sitcoms and family. You know, I wrote, I wrote

231
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:00,760

Speaker 1: standpord of me being producing and doing a lot of

235
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: high profile events. But one thing, I didn't go to

236
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: an hbc U school. But I've always had a kinship

237
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: for creating change and also giving people, uh information. This

238
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: was just about information. There's a stream of thought theforehes

239
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: is having us to promote and like I said, it's

243
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: our skills so popular we're gonna get it. And I know,

244
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: like I said, Don Lewis has been participating in this,

245

00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: that that's where we're going to the other side of

308
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: there is something for everybody. That's what we get in

309
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: our regular general education, saying that they can some of

310
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the some of the the highest paid restaurants in the

311
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: world are chefs and they've got just the ones that

312
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: are any big restaurants that it wants to do a

313
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: lot of testing and all this stuff there was that

314
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: probably prepared along with scientists, the food for the astronauts,

315
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: forces or what there gets a job, a responsibility or duty.

316
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: I love everybody, and sometimes you just gotta go beyond

317
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: your your your basic education. And that's why we need

318
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that we keep fonds available for these

319
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: kids to going through these schools here, but also the

320
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: university's college universities have to come up to hear. Also,

321
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing right now. Years ago

322
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: I kind a new head of general idea of what

323
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: the studies were and what was requiring this set the other.

324
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: But I'm sure that things have changed now. If they

325
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: haven't changed as much, then they need to change much more,

326
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: come up to where we need to be technically, scientifically, medically,

327
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. And so that's why I

328
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: agree to continue and I probably will always do in

329
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: some some way on some level, to always try to

330
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: help some young person and even some mature person, because

331
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: I remember there was a time I gave up scholarships

332
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: to to uh some young people, and we were at

333
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: the ceremony, and then I wanted the young people took

334
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: part of their money and shared it. This was a

335
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: female of Ethnomer female. She asked me though, she said,

336
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: miss pay, would you mind if I gave half of

337
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: my scholarship money to my friend? And she has two

338
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: kids and she wants to come to school. I ain't

339
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: no problem with that. Almost broke with your tears. Then

340
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: by the same token, there was another young man who

341
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: was finishing up his last year and he's still at

342
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: funds and and he asked me it would be all

343
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: right if he passed his funds onto somebody's. It just

344
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: it just took my heart. You know, I don't I

345
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: don't ever ask anybody to give me anything back. And

346
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: maren't too much anybody could give me, because first of all,

347
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: God bless me with He blessed me the ability to

348
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: know the difference between rich and poort. You ain't got

349
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: nothing to do with what's in my pocket, Okay, It

350
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: has to deal with in my my heart and my

351
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: soul and stuff. Because I can become a millionaire amount

352
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: a millionaire today in the morrow, but I could be

353
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: sick and not be if they enjoy that. And uh,

354
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: my richness and my value comes in and my spirit

355
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: and my belief and understanding that I'm not responsible for anything,

356
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: but how I treat people, how do I let people

357
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: treat me? And who I believe in, not believing him?

358
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: And you take scare of me. So he makes sure

359
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: that I don't get caught up in anything except what's

360
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: necessary and what's available, and also what's important to people.

361
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: I love it when I see people progress. I love

362
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: it when I see young people good doing things that

363
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: their hearts designed. It makes me feel good. If that's

364
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that will make you take the

365
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: shirt off your back and give it to him, that's

366
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff to say. If you take this,

367
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna use this because I know you're gonna put

368
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: it to good use, because you understand that I ain't

369
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: just about you. You want to be a contributor to

Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. Come on out and do what

427
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: needs to be done there. You know, let's let's talk

428
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: about you know, we talked about HBC, you talk about family,

429
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: we talk about living dreams, and we're talked about trying

430
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: to change lives with these scholarships dollars that were trying

431
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: to raise for the stream of Thon which is happening Tuesday,

432
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: the decent referson. We want people to make a donation.

433
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: And the fact that the donations are tax reductable, that's

434
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna be real. They're tax detectable this time of the

435
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: year is when people make these type with donations, and

436
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: like I always tell anybody, it's you know, a dollar

437
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: got the president elect, Joe Biden elected, So it doesn't

438
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: take much to be a donation. And more importantly, it's

439
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: about understanding the change that you can make when you

440
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: make effort to create change and your life. When you

441
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: look at the things that's happened in COVID happened this year,

442
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: we didn't see that coming. How did it affect you?

443
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: Because my my story, I tell everybody honestly, you know,

444
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: when it happened, it was like moving in slow motion.

445
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to go out in public. Initially

446
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: I had my gloves, I had my parrel, I had

447
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: my mad but in fact I didn't have a mask

448
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: in the time. I had a kind of like a

449
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: ski mask. I just kind of like pulled it up

450
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: above my nose and I went at home deeper and

451
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: I came out. I didn't know that opened the door

452
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: to fast, or that I put Pararel off, and so

453
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: I just locked out into the house for about several

454
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: weeks until I trying to figure out Because it was

455
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: the whole factor, it was so much unknown about COVID

456
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: and I said, we know a lot now, but we

457
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of know how to live with it. Now. How

458
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: did they react to you and how did you deal

459
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: with it in your family and the surrounding individuals who

460
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: you come in contact with. Okay, you know, first, first off,

461
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: when we u when we got to notice that we

462
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: had to lock down, I was facilitating or um at

463
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: the school program in the arts and creating and and

464
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: we were just getting ready to do one. It delified

465
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: a tribute to the O James, all my little people.

466
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: We were reading my spoons and maid never end and

467
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: we never got a chance to do it. And so

468
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: the first hit I got was I missed my kids,

469
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: and I know they missed me. And it wasn't just

470
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: about the still I had been to these young people

471
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: for like two years. I think my sin now as

472
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: far as my immediate familys, I missed them that that

473
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: because I was on the schedule with them. Now my

474
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: immediate family, my husband is a respiratory thing. So I

475
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: spent play time praying for him to be shaped at

476
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: the hospital and him and all the other medical professionals,

477
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: but also prayer you can bring it home to me.

478
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: But also I prayed for my daughter who worked in

479
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: the county, and she couldn't stop work right there like

480
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: that minute. But she would eventually come home. And my granddaughter,

481
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: of course was under age, so she hadn't stayed there.

482
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: I stayed home. They stay stayed home. So I basically,

483
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: for the most part, I stayed home. Whenever I needed something,

484
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: my daughter would go out for me to get it,

485
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: or I start ordering stuff to order and to bring

486
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: it to my house. I became the Queen Amazon, wal

487
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: martin Target, and everybody else that was the Sam Club.

488
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: Everybody I ordered into the Hunts and then of course

489
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: I sat up there and then like about ten pounds

490
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: like everybody else. But the way I handled it was

491
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: that I tried to follow the science and what people

492
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: were saying, and the way my husband was feeling when

493
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: he would come home, like looking at he was gonna

494
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: drop dead at the door, you know, pulling off all

495
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: his stuff and dropping it in a special bed. Well,

496
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: of course they don't come home with a deathly stuff,

497
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: but back in the has mat suit. But dropping this

498
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,239
Speaker 1: stuff in a special bag and washing this close set

499
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: and then we have we tried to be We tried

500
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: to use the caution that we knew we had to use.

501
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: We also used the mindset because even though we're strong

502
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: and healthy, there are a lot of people that I'm not.

503
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: That's why I can't understand why nobody wants to wear

504
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: were not nobody, but a lot of people get upset

505
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: about wearing the mask. I'm just gonna be upfront with

506
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: everybody about this. I've suffered from a fear. Uh had

507
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: an ape. I've had a fear for the last four

508
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: years and all for a lot of people don't know.

509
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: The thing is that said, it's really a heart rhythm.

510
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: That's what I had. So it was hard, kind of

511
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: hard to breathe. Sometimes I get a little rinded, you

512
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean, blue winded. And I was always

513
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: a kind of put live. I'm always moved. That's a

514
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: dance as I talked. That's a good In fact, of course,

515
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: something hit me like that. When I thought it was

516

517
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,840

00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: told me what it was and I was in the hospital.

00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: I think he needed to go and to store to

613
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: these vestables and things, and so I had an extra

614
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: packet of a best for him. But when I gave

615
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: him the mask, he looked at me, size that real wine.

616
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: He said, thank you, last you. I what can I say?

617
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: Nobody can make you wear the mask. The mask is

618
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: not just for you, although you need it, it will

619
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: help you. The mask is to help h We can

620
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: do this in the schools. Kids my granddaby want to

621
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: go back to schools so bad. It has around some

622
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: of the friends already going back. And then because I

623
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: want to look kids in there got you know, COVID

624
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: and that want of teachers got to teach us back

625
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: and not a look kid will be back too. Well.

626
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: The pandemic it's a dangerous thing, not only in the schools,

627
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: in the homes, in the in the in the the

628
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: for sure, in the hospitals, on the streets and where

629
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: the else. But if I if I had to say

630
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: something that really came from my heart about this whole situation,

631
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: it's not gonna su mass. It might stay right. And

632
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: somebody else's say it's not an easy thing. And the

633
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: minute I get in my car, snatch it off, just

634
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: before I go get out of my car, I'm mad.

635
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: Put it only But I still here. I still help it.

636
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: My family's self, with fact, god, my my neighbor's I've

637
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: lost a few cousins and a few friends, so it

638
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: is personal. But I know this. People want to day school,

639
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: not just the little kids like my grand daby, the

640
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: college students because they like that interaction. They like that

641
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: professor stand up there. They're like that, they're like that

642
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: dialogue between each other. And we don't do whatever we

643
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: have to do in order to continue to learn and education.

644
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: And we're gonna help them. We're gonna help all these kids,

645
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: even if we have to be virtual a little bit more.

646
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: But I think, like they say, there is a light

647
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: at the end so so we got a lot of

648
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: young people going back into the bit. The more they're

649
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna make into the buildings and when they get there,

650
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: we need to be prepared for them. That's everything from

651
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: the from the nursery school in kindergarten all that to

652
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,560

683
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: I went in I never worked. It was years ago

684
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: and this was Morris Brown. I was visiting, but I went.

685
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: I was at Morris Brown and it's at the time

686
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: when they were dissolving. Things were going down, and h

687
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: one of my daughter's friends was there and all the

688
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: kids ran out and I felt so bad as they

689
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: thought I came there a saved the student. If I

690
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: if I could have saved I actually I would here

691
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: by the same token. Florida Memorial is our historical black

692
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: houge down here in the Miami, and I go out

693
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: there and do things for them also. But one of

694
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: the first times I actually got a chance to go

695
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: beyond the theater, Blue Roads perform noting, which is basically

696
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: where all the roads do. Whatever I had to do,

697
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: and I watched the kids probably whatever. I had to

698
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: go around because one of my my my girlfriends taught

699
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 1: music out They talk instruments and things by ln and stuff,

700
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: and so I had to go around to the back

701
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: of the college. When I got went to the back

702
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: of the college, I sat in my car for about

703
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: five minutes and a crime and I said, oh my god,

704
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they need help so bad. I said.

705
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: I was always in the front. I always saw what

706
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: they wanted me to see. That time I saw what

707
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: I needed. So when I say that our boys family

708
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: needs it, all of our agecies, colleges, college and universities needed,

709
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: do you want to see what they what a lot

710
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: of them want you to see, and some of them

711
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: and for the most part what you see it's what

712
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: it is. But if you see something that's not what

713
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: it is, let your heart tell you to help make

714
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: it better, because there's always gonna be some young people

715
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: that want to go beyond what they already know. They

716
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: want to know more, they want to do more, they

717
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: want to be more, and we should and we will
