Speaker 1: My League bus has all the knowledge you want. My
Speaker 1: league has all the knowledge you need.
Speaker 2: Yet they have all the books that the whole wild
Speaker 2: World one of reads.
Speaker 3: My League books.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Malik's Bookshelf, bringing a world together
Speaker 2: with books, culture and community. Hi, my name is Malik,
Speaker 2: your host of Malak's Bookshelf. This has been an emotional
Speaker 2: time for me, given the fact that I'm dealing with
Speaker 2: the death of someone near and there, my mother, which
Speaker 2: I love deeply. I've done several podcasts mentioning this. This
Speaker 2: is probably another podcast, Not probably, but yes, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be touching on some of the things my experiences
Speaker 2: that I'm going through. I'm just making it a little
Speaker 2: bit more personal because what I've been experienced is very
Speaker 2: personal and deep. And one of the things that I
Speaker 2: realized that a lot of people would say during this
Speaker 2: whole experience was my mom is in a better place,
Speaker 2: meaning death is a better place than life, Like my
Speaker 2: mom was in some pain. You know, we've been dealing
Speaker 2: with this cancert for over a year. She fought the
Speaker 2: good fight, and she was a tough cookie, and she
Speaker 2: said when I interviewed her, but nevertheless, this was terminal
Speaker 2: and eventually led to her last breath. And but one
Speaker 2: of the things that a lot of people in there
Speaker 2: consulting would say to me, she's in a better place.
Speaker 2: She's in a better place. And I'm trying to internalize
Speaker 2: what that really mean and what they really saying that
Speaker 2: death is a better place what than life? To be honest,
Speaker 2: that just don't sit well with me. And I get
Speaker 2: what they're saying, and I get the consoling and the
Speaker 2: affection and the love, But saying death is a better plan,
Speaker 2: how is that? How is that relieves me of what
Speaker 2: I'm feeling? And how does that bring understanding to what
Speaker 2: I'm feeling? Death is a better place than life, you know?
Speaker 2: And I'm saying, why do we say things like that?
Speaker 2: And for what purpose? I'd rather hear something like she
Speaker 2: lived a great life. She was a great person, she
Speaker 2: was a lovely mom, she was a great individual. She
Speaker 2: can cook real good boy. I tell you, she's truly
Speaker 2: gonna be missed. Why not things like that? Why do
Speaker 2: we make death like it's a place? We know life
Speaker 2: is a place because we're here and you listen to
Speaker 2: me and you're alive. But death is a better place
Speaker 2: When nobody never died. The only place I know about
Speaker 2: death is a person that's buried in the ground, in
Speaker 2: that body, and as far as the energy and the
Speaker 2: essence of them, that's departed. Okay, But how is that
Speaker 2: being separate from your body life? And if that's the case,
Speaker 2: then how is it that you're able to have the
Speaker 2: same experiences you don't have no body? Isn't that the
Speaker 2: purpose of having a body? How is death a better place?
Speaker 2: There's a whole lot of everything in this world, in
Speaker 2: this universe, but the ain't a whole lot of life.
Speaker 2: You know, life is the most precious gift given to.
Speaker 1: You and I.
Speaker 2: In animals and insects and birds and fish. Life, it's sacred.
Speaker 1: Life is.
Speaker 2: A blessing.
Speaker 1: You didn't create yourself.
Speaker 2: You didn't say, oh, here's the sperm, or go fertilize that.
Speaker 2: You didn't say that. You ain't tell that sperm what
Speaker 2: to do. That sperm knew exactly what to do. You
Speaker 2: know why, because intelligence already put in it. And then
Speaker 2: it multiplied and it grew a heart, and it grew
Speaker 2: a brain, and it grew organs, and it grew eyes,
Speaker 2: and it grew everything on his own. And you ain't
Speaker 2: instructed to do none of that.
Speaker 1: It created, you know what I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying, It created it itself in a sense, right, A
Speaker 2: magnificent being comes forth, a magnificent life comes forth, and
Speaker 2: while you're alive, people fight like hell to keep that life.
Speaker 2: You know, people give up their whole wealth. People will
Speaker 2: go and sell their homes and go bankrupt to save
Speaker 2: their life. You know, people will go to war in
Speaker 2: order to preserve their life, their legacy, their country. The
Speaker 2: acts that we do to keep our lives.
Speaker 1: And then you.
Speaker 2: Say death is a better place, Well, if death is
Speaker 2: a better place than life, why everybody just ain't committing
Speaker 2: suicide dying if death is a better place, No, because
Speaker 2: I think you know that life is a better place.
Speaker 2: I think you know that this is the greatest gift.
Speaker 2: I think you know that this is a blessing to have,
Speaker 2: and then you should hold on to this life as
Speaker 2: long as you have and to your last breath. To
Speaker 2: sit there and say death is a better place, it's
Speaker 2: a fullish statement because it cannot be, and no one
Speaker 2: can prove death is a better place, because the ain't
Speaker 2: nobody died to come back and tell you otherwise. So
Speaker 2: to say that that ain't comforting. That is not comforting.
Speaker 2: Death is a better place. No, life is a better
Speaker 2: place life. Death is just a process that all things
Speaker 2: have a turn. So eventually all things with her, all
Speaker 2: things age, all things pass away. But what did we learn?
Speaker 2: And it is neither created nor destroyed. It just changes form.
Speaker 2: And that's why I have my remarks, my reflection at
Speaker 2: the funeral. I'm going to air on this particular podcast
Speaker 2: episode my words that I spoke as a reflection of
Speaker 2: my mom as when we gave the funeral July eighth,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to feature my words and what I
Speaker 2: said on this episode. But this whole things about you know,
Speaker 2: words matter and words are important, and I don't think
Speaker 2: that we have analyzed some of the things that we
Speaker 2: say sometimes and I don't know how that started. Death
Speaker 2: is a better place. People say, oh, heaven, and then
Speaker 2: you got you know hell, right, So people associate death
Speaker 2: in life, you know, they asserch that living. You know,
Speaker 2: when you die, either you going to heaven or you
Speaker 2: going to hell. Some people when they die they're going
Speaker 2: to heaven. Right, Okay, where is it at? A People
Speaker 2: have been up in space, people been in the airplane.
Speaker 2: I mean, tell me where's that because it sounds like
Speaker 2: it's a place. Okay, so you say heaven on earth, right, okay, Heaven, right,
Speaker 2: I'm going to heaven. Right, I'm drinking milk and honey
Speaker 2: is filled with a road of gold. Okay, aren't those
Speaker 2: physical things? Aren't those things that we see in physical life? Okay?
Speaker 2: So let's say you your spirit and that you departed
Speaker 2: your body.
Speaker 1: Okay, you got.
Speaker 2: Eyeballs, you got a mouth, you can speak, you have
Speaker 2: a stomach that you're gonna eat. So okay, what's the
Speaker 2: form of a spirit, and just tell me how it
Speaker 2: can move, how he can speak, how he can talk,
Speaker 2: how he can think, because all of those things associated
Speaker 2: with having a physical body. So if you physically did
Speaker 2: and you just a spirit, well then tell me how
Speaker 2: spiritually you do all the things that you do physically. Okay,
Speaker 2: it makes no sense. And that's why I know. That's
Speaker 2: why the life we have don't have the kind of
Speaker 2: respect that this shit have. That's why people get out
Speaker 2: here and kill people, sensely thinking that they going to
Speaker 2: a better place. Oh well they're going to have and
Speaker 2: so oh well they're going to oh they're going to hell,
Speaker 2: and you're torture. Okay, how you torture you ain't got
Speaker 2: a body? How you feel pain? And you ain't got
Speaker 2: no nerve and you're in hell?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: How do you feel agney? And you don't even have
Speaker 2: pain receptacles?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: And no nerves?
Speaker 2: Okay? Anyone ever think about this? I mean, you describe heaven.
Speaker 2: You know, you have a person and you torture them physically,
Speaker 2: They feel agney, they feel pain, they hardship, they fell,
Speaker 2: all these things right, you know, in terms of how
Speaker 2: we describe as hell. Right, you got to have a
Speaker 2: body to experience all the things that you say you
Speaker 2: supposed to experience in hell or in heaven. This makes
Speaker 2: no sense and we need to know today. And that's
Speaker 2: what science is all about. It's a whole lot of
Speaker 2: fairy tales being told just to make you feel good
Speaker 2: and feel a certain way and to believe a certain thing,
Speaker 2: instead of you putting your energy and your life on
Speaker 2: the line to make heaven on earth, to make life
Speaker 2: better for you, to come out of the hell of
Speaker 2: a condition that you in. You ain't got no money,
Speaker 2: you're broke, you're suffering, you're in agony. You got all
Speaker 2: kinds of diseases, You got all kinds of problems in
Speaker 2: your community, and you don't even associate that with hell
Speaker 2: on earth. You know what I'm saying, It's time to
Speaker 2: build heaven on earth. When you have all your needs
Speaker 2: and your desires and everything you need, and you live
Speaker 2: in a life of right business, and you're walking around
Speaker 2: with your fellow man and you're embracing each other with
Speaker 2: love and your kindness and giving and so for isn't
Speaker 2: that heaven. That's heaven on earth. So heaven is on earth.
Speaker 2: You're either in heaven or you in hell on earth.
Speaker 2: But certainly when you physically die, that ain't a better
Speaker 2: place because ain't nobody cutting their wrists, jumping off the
Speaker 2: Eyefra Tower in Paris or any other tall building in
Speaker 2: the world and killing themselves, or just stabbing and shooting themselves.
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody committing a whole lot of suiter like that
Speaker 2: on an epic, even a pope one time, take me
Speaker 2: to the doctor, got shit because he want to hold
Speaker 2: onto his life. You want to hold onto that breath.
Speaker 1: Health is wealth.
Speaker 2: Let me say it again, health is well. So this
Speaker 2: statement about death is a better place, I'm not buying it.
Speaker 2: I think we should stop saying it. I don't think
Speaker 2: that is appropriate. I know you're trying to say it
Speaker 2: in a very comforting way, but I don't buy it.
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna sit here and try to talk
Speaker 2: to age and everybody to come and say that word.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I'm just saying in my
Speaker 2: mind and my heart and on this podcast today, these
Speaker 2: are my thoughts. This is my opinion, this is how
Speaker 2: I see it. You know, I don't think you should
Speaker 2: say it death is a better place. Say something more appropriate.
Speaker 2: That person lived a wonderful life, That person lived that
Speaker 2: gave you know so much and with such a beautiful soul.
Speaker 2: Say things like that. But certainly stop saying death is
Speaker 2: a better place, because.
Speaker 1: You're lying to yourself. Life is the better place. Life.
Speaker 2: So hold on to your life, hold on to every
Speaker 2: breath you got, hold on to everything that is sacred,
Speaker 2: because you know what you ain't God, but dislike because
Speaker 2: ain't nobody died. Come on, it's coming on back physically, right,
Speaker 2: So hold on. You're unique, You're one of a kind.
Speaker 1: No one's like you, and.
Speaker 2: You need to cherish the life you have because it's
Speaker 2: a blessing.
Speaker 1: No one.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. No one's like you, no
Speaker 2: one's ever going to be like you. And this right
Speaker 2: here is a gift, and it's a gift from God.
Speaker 2: And you have the breath of life, so hold on
Speaker 2: to that breath. So that's my thoughts on this. Stay
Speaker 2: tuned for the rest of this podcast, especially my reflection
Speaker 2: of my mother, and my brother Darren's reflection, and my
Speaker 2: sister Ladonia's reflection, as well as an interview that I
Speaker 2: did recently at Maleague Books during a book signing with
Speaker 2: doctor Robin Brown, who wrote a book or Joker to King,

Speaker 5: We live for each other, so let's love each other,
Speaker 5: let's remember each other, because this is a blessing. Just
Speaker 5: yesterday a friend of mine, he called me and said,
Speaker 5: I'm in the kitchen making potato salad, and I said, well,
Speaker 5: you know, t potato salad can make or break a cookout,
Speaker 5: you know. And he said, I'm in here making that
Speaker 5: potato so that you made. And I said, wow. Here
Speaker 5: my mama passed away, but I hadne passed on her recipe,
Speaker 5: threw me through it somebody else and they was cooking
Speaker 5: that potato salad. Then my mama taught me and Leadonia
Speaker 5: and Darius, she taught us another plate uh egg parma jion,
Speaker 5: one of her delicious egg parma zans.
Speaker 1: Boy, I tell you you see, this is how we
Speaker 1: pass on. These are the things that we we pass
Speaker 1: on to one another.
Speaker 5: And my my niece talked about her being a powerful,
Speaker 5: strong entrepreneur.
Speaker 1: Now I'm here to say, mother.
Speaker 6: Crusader Praise Scott passed that spirit onto my mother.
Speaker 1: Y'all witnessed it. My mother passed out on to me.
Speaker 6: She would always talk about how I always want to
Speaker 6: win and how strong I my personality.
Speaker 1: Well, I say, Mama, I got it from you.
Speaker 5: You got it from Crusader Praise Scott. You say, we
Speaker 5: pass on the energy to each other's you know, That's
Speaker 5: how it worked.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 5: I know that this reflection is nothing but an extension
Speaker 5: of my mother. And I like to remember my mom
Speaker 5: as a strong black woman, a independent black woman, an entrepreneur, someone.
Speaker 1: Who loved God.
Speaker 5: And in my final saying, this is what my mom
Speaker 5: used to always say, she said nothing it's.
Speaker 1: Too hard or powerful for God to God be the col.
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you, thank you?
Speaker 1: Is that I just wanna say.
Speaker 4: My mama says, made the Lord watch between me and thee.
Speaker 2: Why are we asking reprom another in Jesus name, Amen,
Speaker 2: she said, said all the time, all the time.
Speaker 1: Thank the Lord, Donna Darius, I'm gonna be quick. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be quick. Seeing what my mother went through.
Speaker 7: I named the poem after her, and it's called Mama,
Speaker 7: You're a one tough cookie. Mama, going through your illness
Speaker 7: was tough and cut me like a knife.
Speaker 1: But your no quick attitude gave me life.
Speaker 7: Even when the doctor said your cancer was moving quickly
Speaker 7: and was very rare, my tough cookie fought to fight
Speaker 7: and didn't care. My tough cookie said them doctors can
Speaker 7: have all them degrees on the office wall, but my
Speaker 7: Lord and Savior, it makes the final call. I saw
Speaker 7: my tough cookie go days without eating, and it didn't
Speaker 7: make any sense. But prayer and strength and I'm sorry,
Speaker 7: but prayer and worship was your food.
Speaker 1: They gave you strength.
Speaker 7: But no stretch of the imagination has this cancer been kind.
Speaker 7: But my God's all fit that you kept a sound mind.
Speaker 7: Growing up was tough. Growing up, my tough Cookie taught
Speaker 7: me son, never be no one's fool. But I'm blessed
Speaker 7: to have you in my life for fifty two years
Speaker 7: because I had friends that lost their mom when they
Speaker 7: was at elementary school. That cancer took a bite out
Speaker 7: of my tough Cookie and left some crumbs. But now
Speaker 7: you're setting next to our father, and now cancer you
Speaker 7: look dumb.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 7: One thing I've learned to be a tough Cookie, you
Speaker 7: have to have a fighting spirit. Can't be no rookie.
Speaker 7: My tough Cookie ran the race down to the very
Speaker 7: last mile. And for that, your baby boy, family and
Speaker 7: National Church of God gonna send you out in style.
Speaker 7: God called my tough Cookie home on June twenty fifth,
Speaker 7: And this is a celebration and an amazing gift. For
Speaker 7: those feelings sad and think this is a pity party,
Speaker 7: don't be because we're gonna celebrate tough cookie life for
Speaker 7: the whole world to see.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 7: So, right now, I ask everyone to stand to their
Speaker 7: feet and give sister Carolyn a standing ovation.
Speaker 8: Welcome, Welcome to the nice shall bring the world again
Speaker 8: with the hooks.
Speaker 3: Coast Premier. Were greatly appreciate.
Speaker 8: You coming to the New Books in the West World
Speaker 8: coach and sharing your time doing a book sign. But
Speaker 8: more important my autients that new books. You know something
Speaker 8: about your.
Speaker 3: Book, which is called your School to King. Hello, this
Speaker 3: is doctor Robert Brown. Now tell us a little bit
Speaker 3: about your boutround.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm a college professor. I've been in education all
Speaker 9: my life. I'm also a certified men's development coach. I
Speaker 9: work with men in order to bring health, happiness, and homeleness.
Speaker 3: To their lives. I'm also a lot of people don't
Speaker 3: know this, and y'all first to know this.
Speaker 9: I'm actually going back to school to get my license
Speaker 9: as a therapist.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
Speaker 9: My job is to help black being here here.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Yeah, and that's where this book comes from.
Speaker 9: About seven years ago, the first edition of this book
Speaker 9: was published. It became the most downloaded self help book
Speaker 9: on Amazon the week that it came out and he's
Speaker 9: level grand prize winning Southern California Book festivals. Okay, back
Speaker 9: in twenty sixteen years and the reason is because it's
Speaker 9: the first book of its kind. The idea is to
Speaker 9: teach young adults what healthy adulthood looks like from a
Speaker 9: teacher's standpoint. I was challenged by my brother, you know,
Speaker 9: since I wrote curriculum for math, I wrote curriculum for English.
Speaker 9: He asked, is it possible to write curriculum to teach
Speaker 9: people how to be a man? And step by step
Speaker 9: with homework, assignments and everything. That's where this book came
Speaker 9: made it. The subtitle is your comprehension got.
Speaker 3: To mad comprehensive.
Speaker 8: So you're dealing with the transitional part from team to adult.
Speaker 3: That's that's it right there. That's it right there, because
Speaker 3: a lot of adults they haven't learned, they don't even
Speaker 3: know what they don't know, they don't know what to ask.
Speaker 9: There's chapters in here on how to cook, how to travel,
Speaker 9: to forget your parents, how to be anti sexist, the
Speaker 9: relationships between men and NaNs, and you know, how to
Speaker 9: build a strong work ethic. You want to learn how
Speaker 9: to overcome procrastation, as a chapter in the book aside
Speaker 9: everything from how to how to master small talk, to
Speaker 9: how to travel, all all that is.
Speaker 3: In this book. You was doing the book.
Speaker 8: Side and one of the things out the people how
Speaker 8: to do say was about financial readership.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, tell us about that aspect, Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3: So the whole book is structured like the Decca cars. Right,
Speaker 3: So the car Deca cards.
Speaker 9: Has spades, diamonds, and clubs, hearts. All the diamonds are
Speaker 9: all the lessons that.
Speaker 3: You got to learn about fundings.
Speaker 9: All the hearts are the lessons you have to learn
Speaker 9: about relationships me.
Speaker 3: All the spades are the lessons you have to learn
Speaker 3: about your own mental emotional health.
Speaker 9: And all the clubs are the lessons I have to
Speaker 9: do with your way in the world, and cook.
Speaker 3: How to travel and a nice suit.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 3: So that's the key difference between boy and man. The
Speaker 3: man knows how to manage those.
Speaker 9: Four pillars of adult finances, relationships, mental health, and your
Speaker 9: way in the world.
Speaker 3: You can manage those four things. You're a healthy adult.
Speaker 9: You're a healthy So really like the strategy you simplify,
Speaker 9: You simplify.
Speaker 3: That's what I do. I'm gonna teach you.
Speaker 9: You know, my job is to teach always yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Because because because you know, I always say this, everyone
Speaker 3: is locked. Who has the master grip to unlock? Right?
Speaker 8: And that's how you put the words into a way
Speaker 8: it becomes a key. Because what you're trying to do
Speaker 8: with the fifty two debt is you're trying to unlocked.
Speaker 3: A lot of people who are locked up.
Speaker 8: In themselves and not understanding certain things that have manhood
Speaker 8: or how to be a man. These things are oftentimes
Speaker 8: are not addressed at home, and all of us bounce
Speaker 8: off the walls in the world in order to find
Speaker 8: out what we like and who we are, right, because
Speaker 8: we don't have those kind of conversations.
Speaker 3: A lot of times. That's right there.
Speaker 9: A lot of us have people growing up who walk
Speaker 9: us through the contracts.
Speaker 3: Who walk us through the wisdom. These days that doesn't
Speaker 3: exist that much anymore. We need people like you and
Speaker 3: I to keep putting these pieces.
Speaker 9: Of wisdom out there world to these young coachs that
Speaker 9: they know why growth how to be helped.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 4: I think this book is an actually important it's a
Speaker 4: key to locking you to give you man hood. You
Speaker 4: too about being a man, you know, and that's important
Speaker 4: because it's a lot of men out here, brother, this
