Speaker 1: Trust is earned, not given. Literally. During the pandemic, if
Speaker 1: I'm correct, you had a call from Ellen. Yeah exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the generous Y'allen. Yeah, yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: shocker too. We didn't even we thought we was going
Speaker 1: on the Ellen too. They you know, they called us
Speaker 1: over a serious of time and you know, and got background,
Speaker 1: that's what you like your show and uh and finally
Speaker 1: they I guess accepted as a candidate, but we wasn't.
Speaker 1: We didn't know we was going on the Ellen Show.
Speaker 1: We thought that we were selected for the Ellen too.
Speaker 1: Once we progressed towards doing the tape, and it was
Speaker 1: a quite shock. It was a quite a surprise. And
Speaker 1: you know, to be on the Ellen Show during that time,
Speaker 1: it was very helpful, It was very grateful and did
Speaker 1: that impact say else? Did it turn things around for
Speaker 1: absolutely because we received you know, our website melie boost
Speaker 1: dot com. People you know started purchasing from us who
Speaker 1: didn't know anything about us. You know, Relie books got
Speaker 1: an active website, melieue books dot com. We ship nationwide,
Speaker 1: so they didn't know nothing about that. So we received
Speaker 1: sales from that. We also we see a huge donation
Speaker 1: from the l N Show fifteen thousand dollars, so that
Speaker 1: blew us away. And we just was immensely happy about
Speaker 1: you know, people giving you know, paying it forward, reaching
Speaker 1: out to local businesses and people in the community and
Speaker 1: helping them, giving them a lag of During that time,
Speaker 1: I mean, there was an opportunity during that time to
Speaker 1: to see who and what you are as an organization,
Speaker 1: as a company, and as people, and a lot of
Speaker 1: people were very generous and giving. I can't you know,
Speaker 1: speaking you know more highly inappreciative about the people who
Speaker 1: generally gained so much love and generosity throwing the pandemic.
Speaker 1: And so we're thankful because without them, Milie boost don't exist.
Speaker 1: So grateful, very grateful speaking of people and in particular
Speaker 1: black folks. I want to actually, Dr Nina, were you
Speaker 1: surprised by how we were gravely impacted, but how Black
Speaker 1: people were greatly impacted by them the pandemic compared to
Speaker 1: um other races and ethnicities. No, I would like to
Speaker 1: say I was surprised, but given that we knew pretty
Speaker 1: early on that it affected people with diabetes, heart disease,
Speaker 1: you know, these other obesity as we learned over time
Speaker 1: more than other groups. It was quite clear that we
Speaker 1: were going to be effective more if we got sick.
Speaker 1: And given the types of jobs that were more likely
Speaker 1: to have, more likely to be in service industries, more
Speaker 1: likely to be an interesting reason where we're basically you
Speaker 1: have a lot of public contact. UM, it didn't surprise
Speaker 1: me at all, and it's one of the devastating things. Again,
Speaker 1: you know, we started out with people coming back from
Speaker 1: cruise ships traveling, so it started out with people with
Speaker 1: more resources. But of the times we see this pattern
Speaker 1: where it starts that it ends up in our community.
Speaker 1: What did you learn as an epithemiolysis? What did you
Speaker 1: learn from this experience? What are you learning as you're
Speaker 1: in the middle of it that you maybe didn't expect
Speaker 1: to learn. I think a lot of people from the
Speaker 1: more healthcom I think a lot of people because of
Speaker 1: the co mobilities. I think a lot of people addressing um,
Speaker 1: we get people all the time, they're looking for health books,
Speaker 1: books to change their diet, they change their lifestyle because
Speaker 1: you know, those co mobilities is what we put in
Speaker 1: our mouth most of the time, and so eating them
Speaker 1: from your sugar, the salts, the car I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: process foods, all of those things over a period of
Speaker 1: time is giving us those co mobilities. So as a result,
Speaker 1: I think that it was a lesson to be learned
Speaker 1: because now we see that you are what you eat.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people and how have we been
Speaker 1: hearing it for the longest times? Yeah, that's a very
Speaker 1: hard thing to follow on a consistent basis, at least
Speaker 1: for some of us. Some people period hearing that boosters
Speaker 1: are needed, all vaccines are need. Can you talk to
Speaker 1: us about who really really needs a booster and who doesn't?
Speaker 1: It doesn't Well, do you think everybody should? I think
Speaker 1: just about everybody should. There's very few people, and then
Speaker 1: we keep getting them, or you recommend everybody get at
Speaker 1: least one where well, it's humbling to know that only
Speaker 1: about thirty people even have that first booster. And because
Speaker 1: of the way the immunity of changes or declines over time,
Speaker 1: it means we don't you don't have much protection even
Speaker 1: if you have those first two shots. I mean, you
Speaker 1: have some, certainly, but you certainly need more. So I'm
Speaker 1: most concerned about those people. I'm most concerned about older individuals,
Speaker 1: although I'm taking that group has been overall pretty good.
Speaker 1: And then people with all those free existing conditions that
Speaker 1: we talked about, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, you know,
Speaker 1: those are all the peoples. I mean really that in
Speaker 1: that sense, the message hasn't changed. The think that the
Speaker 1: thing that has changed is just yesterday. If they basically
Speaker 1: announced that there are two more boosters that will be
Speaker 1: available that are more effective or designed for both the
Speaker 1: original strain and the the omnicon strain. And so it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's recommended people are getting to get a
Speaker 1: second and some kinds of third booster. But now the
Speaker 1: hope is that these specific vaccines will be more effective
Speaker 1: for the current strains. Why should we trust what shouldn't
Speaker 1: be trusted? I think that you know, we talked earlier
Speaker 1: about the medical field and the scientific community experiment on
Speaker 1: black people, TuS keytie experiment, and so many other ones
Speaker 1: over the history of our sojourn in America, and so,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times it's very very you know,
Speaker 1: trust is important in any relationship in any community, and
Speaker 1: the government hasn't always hasn't been forthcoming and most trustworthy
Speaker 1: to suggest it are everyone should take a booster shot.
Speaker 1: At the same time is suggesting that the effectiveness is
Speaker 1: going to be more beneficial for the entire society. I've
Speaker 1: never seen a medication given to the masses of the
Speaker 1: people where it was effective in that way. I've never
Speaker 1: seen that whatsoever, Because everybody is different, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that we should just line up like Guinny pigs
Speaker 1: and and without all the facts and all the information,
Speaker 1: because there are evidence to suggested the continuation of these
Speaker 1: booster shots are also affecting your immune system and having
Speaker 1: adverse effects. And they said just giving them people. You know,
Speaker 1: we have a not your immune system, and the reason
Speaker 1: why we escaped over the thousands and thousands and thousands
Speaker 1: of years is because of our not your immune system.
Speaker 1: At what point time are we gonna pivot the focus
Speaker 1: on taking vitamin D taking vitamin I mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: disagree with you on a couple of things. Okay, if
Speaker 1: one being that we sever thousands of thousand, Yes, of
Speaker 1: course we've survived from millennia. But if you go back
Speaker 1: hundred years ago, what killed most people, it was infectious
Speaker 1: conditions and one of them, and then the things that
Speaker 1: changed years ago that killed some people. Let me say
Speaker 1: that is because I only have thirty seconds. Well happened.
Speaker 1: But what I do want to say is people have
Speaker 1: a choice. You have a choice. If you have a doctor,
Speaker 1: go to your doctor. Make sure that you have a
Speaker 1: conversation with your health care professional about what is best
Speaker 1: for you and have more chance to respond to you. Now,
Speaker 1: the things I would say if they recommend everybody get
Speaker 1: back to the for toughness and measles. There's those nations
Speaker 1: were effective the COVID doesn't Everyone that takes the shot
Speaker 1: still get COVID and still transmitted. And there are a
Speaker 1: lot of diseases that are now blood clots and a
Speaker 1: lot of things that are happening as results from the
Speaker 1: people taking these shots. And this is still an experimental
Speaker 1: authorization and you trage suit and if people have taken
Speaker 1: this and just dropped dead, I want to start actually
Speaker 1: for a minute with test brought it up, and I
Speaker 1: knew the person at cbc UM who helped take care
Speaker 1: of the men who were part of TKEY. You know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't I don't like the word of tex Skey
Speaker 1: experiment because nobody gave them a simplest They didn't treat them,
Speaker 1: but it's not quite the same as if they gave
Speaker 1: them an experimental drug. But even those men believe that
Speaker 1: they were contributing to society. That was part of why
Speaker 1: they they participated in the research. And Bill Jenkins, who
Speaker 1: was the person who you know, was kind of in
Speaker 1: charge of CUPS providing services to that coord over time,
Speaker 1: always talked about the fact that the changes that he
Speaker 1: saw as CBC, and he was one of the people
Speaker 1: who helped bring that story to light within New York
Speaker 1: Times as well as the contribution that those men believed
Speaker 1: that they still made, and the biggest contribution that they
Speaker 1: made was the institution of more regulations for people who
Speaker 1: do human subjects were certain, including people like myself. There's
Speaker 1: and I don't even give people drugs or vaccines, right,
Speaker 1: but there's all kinds of that we need. So what
Speaker 1: you was listening to was an interview I did at
Speaker 1: on kb L, a talk radio station owned by Tyler Smiley.
Speaker 1: It was called The Backstage UH with may Shaye Duffy
Speaker 1: and UM. She interviewed me and a young lady who
Speaker 1: was an epidemiologist, a doctor. We was discussing was after
Speaker 1: the lock up, and we you know, we had a
Speaker 1: robust conversation about what we did doing, you know, the
Speaker 1: locked up during the pandemic. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: reasons why we UH should be skeptical and that we
Speaker 1: shouldn't just trust blindly in beguinnea pigs for a society
Speaker 1: that has you know, systemic racism and oppression. So I
Speaker 1: just don't think that is wise to just subject ourselves.
Speaker 1: It's just a total disarray of other viewpoints and other
Speaker 1: possibilities that might be more informative as we make a
Speaker 1: decision was best for ourselves and our family and for
Speaker 1: so forth. I don't think you should trust blindly, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that you should just be a guinea pig.
Speaker 1: And I don't think you should believe everything did a
Speaker 1: person tell you. And I'm not saying you just should
Speaker 1: believe me. I'm not saying you should just believe that
Speaker 1: I'm right and my point of view is right. When
Speaker 1: I'm saying is get out there and do your own research,
Speaker 1: make your own decision. But you should at least you know,
Speaker 1: not blindly do anything. And so that's my point, and
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed this episode. Trust is earned, not given.
Speaker 1: What tips do you have to tell my audience how
Speaker 1: to stay healthy and beautiful at the same time? So
Speaker 1: do is just stay healthy? You have to be mindful
Speaker 1: of what you consume. The consumption of what you consume
Speaker 1: is the product of what you are so mean and
Speaker 1: TV music which you put in your mouth. Um, I
Speaker 1: do a lot of juicy I choose sometime I'm well,
Speaker 1: I do knowledg juice of the majority of the time,
Speaker 1: I choose what I eat um. On the weekends, I'll
Speaker 1: eat what I want to eat except before, and I
Speaker 1: drink what I want to drink me so other things.
Speaker 1: But to stay healthy, you gotta be mindful of what
Speaker 1: you consume all the way around, all the way all
Speaker 1: the way around. So what else can you share in
Speaker 1: the way of you know, taking care of your skin,
Speaker 1: maintaining well, that's that's that's give it take. I mean,

Speaker 1: your invoice. But I'm gives so too what you internalize,
Speaker 1: which is going to manifest um externally. So what I've
Speaker 1: used on my face, which is nothing simple but black
Speaker 1: soap and shade butter, I've been using it for years
Speaker 1: on my face, and I drink a lot of water.
Speaker 1: Water is the key. Water is the key to flush
Speaker 1: out all that out of your system. And you keep

Speaker 1: learned that over the years. So I'll drink a lot
Speaker 1: of water. But my beauty regiment is um washed my
Speaker 1: face with black soap twice, sometimes three or four times
Speaker 1: a day, and I'm moisturized it with shame butter. Okay,
Speaker 1: but that's your face. Now, what about your body? Well,

Speaker 1: Grandma Sheet. I met her about two years ago. Hold
Speaker 1: on your body was looking I know that, yes before Gwen,
Speaker 1: and that's because I was the coach. Of course, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say anything that from you. Yes, you transferm
Speaker 1: transformed my body. Um I was. I'm still an advocate
Speaker 1: workout personally because I think that working out but not
Speaker 1: for for everybody, but workout for me is therapy. You know,
Speaker 1: that's my therapy. That's how I sat on the couches. Um,
Speaker 1: I clean out my endorphins like working out. But before that,
Speaker 1: you were complaints from me. You were my motivation. We
Speaker 1: had that ritual that we usually do on Sundays, we
Speaker 1: call a family Sunday Workouts. We've been doing that for years.
Speaker 1: But I do work out five days a week, sometimes six. Um,
Speaker 1: it was, how do you do that? You do all
Speaker 1: this when you make time for whatever you want to
Speaker 1: make time for. I sometimes get up at five o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning. Yes, you do to get up and
Speaker 1: go get it. I get up and I go get it,
Speaker 1: and I go and get my peace, and I come
Speaker 1: back and work. Wake everybody up, Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 1: It does something different to me, but I've been doing
Speaker 1: it for I mean, I've been doing it for years.
Speaker 1: This is something. If I don't do it, I do
Speaker 1: feel guilty. And I didn't understand when people used to
Speaker 1: tell me that a long time ago, maybe like twenty
Speaker 1: years ago. If I don't do this, I feel guilty.
Speaker 1: I used to look at people like, are you nuts?
Speaker 1: But now I'm the nut because if I don't do it,
Speaker 1: I feel a certain type of way. And you have
Speaker 1: to find something that you like to do. Yes, you do.
Speaker 1: You have to find something that you like to do
Speaker 1: that will push you forward in life, that that helps
Speaker 1: your life. I'm prolonged longer than what you projected to be.
Speaker 1: When you when you work out, you just don't work out.
Speaker 1: You do that hit. Yeah, yes I do, and it
Speaker 1: feels so good. Yeah, you're hurting it, you're sweating your
Speaker 1: your muscles are burning. You know. That's the kind of
Speaker 1: workouts you do. You just ain't out there. Look at
Speaker 1: you working out. You know. Sometimes people don't even recognize
Speaker 1: me outside the gym because I don't go in there.
Speaker 1: It's okay for others, but that's not for me. I
Speaker 1: don't go in there beautified. Basically, my beauty come from within.
Speaker 1: It is a magnet. I can go in there with
Speaker 1: a beanie on big old clothes, it doesn't matter. It's
Speaker 1: a magnet, you know. So I go in there and
Speaker 1: I going there and I get it and I go
Speaker 1: and start my day. Yes you do, Yes, you do.
Speaker 1: A total inspiration. I know for our family, I know
Speaker 1: for me personally. She's the hardest worker I know. Appreciate
Speaker 1: You're welcome. You're welcome, You're welcome. Thank you, Yeah, thank
Speaker 1: you for Sharon with leaves bookshelf audience. Uh, some of
Speaker 1: your tips and inspiration and motivation. Um, someone is going
Speaker 1: to be blessed by hearing this. Life is going to
Speaker 1: be changed. You're welcome. Yes. And I didn't get like
Speaker 1: this overnight. This was a whole process of mind changing.
Speaker 1: Did not get like this overnight. This book is a
Speaker 1: book of beautiful stories. Thank you again, sick. My book
Speaker 1: review for this segment is a book written by Timothy
Speaker 1: Fields and Sharne Brown. Let me give you a little
Speaker 1: background about Timothy Field. He's a graduate of more House
Speaker 1: College and as a senior social dean over missage at
Speaker 1: in Re University. Now Sharne Brown is a graduate or
Speaker 1: Wesleyan You Adversity and the founder of the Chief Education
Speaker 1: Office of Strategic Commissions, Advice and Educational Consulting company specializing
Speaker 1: in the creation of college counseling curriculum and the charter
Speaker 1: schools and school districts, online essay courses, and personalized college
Speaker 1: advice coaching. So these two came together and they have
Speaker 1: over twenty years of experience in college counseling as a
Speaker 1: dean or as an emissions and so they collaborated together
Speaker 1: and they came up with a new book called The
Speaker 1: Block Family Guide to College Admissions, A Conversation about Education, Parenting,
Speaker 1: and Race. Now why is a book like this so important?
Speaker 1: And it's because there is two different realities in America
Speaker 1: in a lack of education and disparity. So the underserved
Speaker 1: aspects of America need to be pushed and guided a
Speaker 1: little different than mainstream. So these brothers, instead of complaining
Speaker 1: about what's taking place in America, they're trying to do
Speaker 1: something about it to help Black families to go to college.
Speaker 1: So their new book, The Black Families God to College Admissions,
Speaker 1: A Conversation about Education, Parenting, and Race, is simply trying
Speaker 1: to find the health parents finding the right college, which
Speaker 1: could be challenging for all students, but black families face
Speaker 1: additional concerns while navigating in this process. In The Black
Speaker 1: Families God to College Missions, variant admissions Expertimothy Fields and
Speaker 1: Sharne Brown highlights how the social justice movement amplifies distinctions
Speaker 1: between historical black colleges and universities and comminent white institutions
Speaker 1: in which college choices may be the best for black students. Now,
Speaker 1: since Timothy and Sharne has worked on both sides of
Speaker 1: the deaths. At school counselors and as college emissions gatekeepers,
Speaker 1: they are well equipped to get parents, students in school
Speaker 1: counselors the information needed to navigate the emissions journey. So
Speaker 1: this is why this book is so important because they
Speaker 1: have over twentysomething years experience and as always saying, experience
Speaker 1: is the best teacher. Now these two collaborate giving out
Speaker 1: information they can help transform the next generation. College is
Speaker 1: very expensive and you don't have the funds to just
Speaker 1: play around from one school to another. Know what is
Speaker 1: the best college for you before you go into book.
Speaker 1: The Black Families God to College Admissions is the book
Speaker 1: that can help you make the right decision whether hbcuth
Speaker 1: School is the most appropriate for what you want to
Speaker 1: be in life or going to a predominantly white institution.
Speaker 1: I myself went to USC, a private, mainstream white institution.
Speaker 1: I have my degree. Hey, I went there because I
Speaker 1: wanted to run track and field and I wanted to
Speaker 1: be part of a legacy. Because at that time when
Speaker 1: I went to college, USC was a powerhouse and track
Speaker 1: and field. So everybody's different, everybody's there. HBCUs are not
Speaker 1: a school of choice. For everyone, and certainly a white
Speaker 1: predominant institution is not a choice for everyone. So you
Speaker 1: really got to know the type of environment you want
Speaker 1: to be in and what your goals are in life. Now,
Speaker 1: there are values in all of these institutions. So this book,
Speaker 1: The Black Family's Guide to College Admissions is a book
Speaker 1: to help you have the kind of conversation about education, parenting,
Speaker 1: and raised. So pick up your copy at Malie books
Speaker 1: dot com or wherever books are sold. Events coming up
