  SPEAKER_00: Today, I have no words for the alignment of how I even got in this room and this next guest who I'm about to interview.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: All I can say is the most high is good because I don't believe in coincidences and the alignment of everything that's happened to get us to today is completely divine intervention.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: So my next guest has made is making has made and is making major waves, and it's more in terms of us as humans and bringing us together, unity, and in a vein of a loving spirit.

• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: AJ McQueen.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: I appreciate the introduction.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_02: That was that was funny.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: AJ, please tell us who you are and what it is you do.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, AJ McQueen.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_02: I um I'm just a raw soul.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: I I'm a raw soul, like uh I'm very much um a human, but I'm I'm a I'm a soul with a body, not a body with a soul.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um and you know, I make soul music, you know what I mean?
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: I do everything from my from my authentic space, like and I'm just you know, I'm a revolutionary individual.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_02: So what I mean by that is like anywhere I go, anything I say, I I feel like it's it's it's something supposed to happen when I say it or when I do it.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um that's me.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to expand on something is supposed to happen?
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: What is that?
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, something's supposed to shift, you know.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like, um, yeah, think about it.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_02: Like, and I don't know how many people think this deep about life, but I don't know, like, I'm I want to go all the way back to before we were even born.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, when when mom and daddy was consummating or whatever they was doing, being grown, and the fight to be born out of everybody, you know, I made it, and then there's that, and then there's the living from there, and then that's whatever.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: So it's like the reason why that's important, because I don't believe, as much as society likes to think that things are accidental, I don't think nothing's accidental.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like it was so much intention behind purposely being her.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_02: So, with that, anything that we do with that purpose should do something, it should cause something, it should shift something, it should create something, it should move something, it should feel something.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_02: It it can't be for nothing.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_02: So I just I just take life seriously that way.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: I love that.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: So as much as we're here behind the scenes before your amazing show, which I had the pleasure of enjoying in Atlanta last week.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: My main purpose for speaking to you today though, is in terms of your your God Body weekend.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: And on on the box, it would look like an event.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: However, you've spoken about it being a movement.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um, honestly, just you know, God Body Weekend is a it's a curated space, an intentionally curated space.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: You know, um it's about community, it's about the people, uh, it's about service, and what makes it God body is being a hands, feet in the mouth of God in the earth, you know what I mean?
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: So there was God operating through us, you know, most high literally um embodying us, right?
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_02: And so um the reason why I created it, I have my own day in Houston, and um I I I mean, I didn't want to just use the day as like a oh, let's just celebrate a Jimmy Queen and that's it.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like, no, let me use this for a greater purpose.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: Let me call on the other people that you know may feel like me or think like me.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think I'm the only person uh that has a calling.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: I don't.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's a lot of people out there.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: So let me create a space where they all feel safe to come and be human, you know what I mean?
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: So it's God body weekend, and now next year in February gonna be the fifth one.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Amazing.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's it's I mean, from the ground, you know, and uh you know, my team and I put a lot into God by the weekend, you know what I mean?
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's definitely not me.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: I may just be the only the visionary, but um there's there's a bunch of hands and involved in um God Body Weekend.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: When you stepped into this calling, what was the shift for you?
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: What did that look like?
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: If you were doing regular life, as you could say, and then something's happened, what was that?
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: What did that look like when you shifted into sounds you can?
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um I you know, I wouldn't even necessarily say I stepped into it, you know, like you know, I I I've been cursed with a gift, you know what I'm saying?
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: I've I've tried to run from it as much as I can.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: You know, sounds like me.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: I've done everything else.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_02: I have.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_02: I've I've done everything else.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_02: I've tried to go off and build a whole other life like a hundred times.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, God has just chastised me in in in the right way, you know what I mean?
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and saying, like, no, like we have to use your gifts that I gave you for something greater.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: And so um, you know, now don't grow on there was like different events, different things happen.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, you know, I've I've been through a lot, you know what I'm saying?
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: I've I've been um I've been shot before, you know, almost lost my life that way.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I lost my dad, I lost relationships, um, you know, and but it comes with the territory, you know, whenever you want to expand.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um I think what makes me seem like the crazy one is because I have to keep moving forward when these things happen.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_02: Some people can stop and blame, blame the lack of purpose on man, this happened.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: Me, I have to acknowledge it.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: I gotta cry, I gotta feel it, I gotta wipe my tears, give myself permission to feel, and I gotta get up and move forward.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_02: And um that's just that's because I believe that this life is not my own.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: If it was just my own, I wouldn't be doing this.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'm telling you.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: I I I'm gifted at music, but it's other stuff that I would do if I want to like fill my time up with like fun and this is stressful.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: Man, this is this is a lot.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: But um, I believe, you know, um, who much is giving much requires.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: 100%.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to touch on a few other things that you would be doing if you wasn't doing it?
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: I would be selling coconuts, half next, I would, I would be AJ's fruit stand.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: I would go sell fruit somewhere.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_02: I don't, I would, I would be a DJ.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_02: If you don't know, I love curating music.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_02: I would be, I I, I probably, I probably am gonna DJ it.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna do something as a side quest.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: Like when I, you know, life continues and I just want to do something side quests.
• 8:10

  SPEAKER_02: My home is a place where I love to have people in it.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I, you know, even when I'm one of them myself, I don't mind having somebody in there and and just, you know, giving them a space to be.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm big on that.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: I like to cook for people.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: I like having people with me.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: Even with this, I don't do this by myself.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: I could, I could do it by myself.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: I could take one or two and just make it about me, but I like to bring people in that space because um, you know, it just makes it feel better, you know what I mean?
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_02: So, but it wouldn't be this, you know what I'm saying?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_02: Like, this is a lot, you know, it's a lot of energy and it's a lot of um expectation and um it's a lot of money.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: It costs a lot to do all of this, but again, it goes back to um me knowing this life is not my own, you know what I mean, and and um I have a purpose that's bigger than me, and um, I gotta do something with it while I have it.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: Before we turned on the camera, I received a wonderful um testimony from one of your team that this thing transformed their life, yeah, which is amazing.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: How how is it for you when you've put this out as an intention for it to be transformational, but then you get the feedback that it's actually worked?
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's um, it feels good.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: It feels it it, you know, when you're coming up with an idea and we just like when you eat like the first guy by the weekend, I didn't know what it what it'll look like.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know I didn't know.

• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: I had no idea.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: So it's it's it's her feedback like that that just is encouraging.

• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm gonna come back to y'all and tell y'all what I now know that we don't know.

  SPEAKER_02: And then give us an option if we want to know it or not.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's it.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_02: Power choice.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_02: So that's why I created Gabby Weekend.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_02: And when I heard people saying that, I'm like, oh, okay, I wasn't crazy.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: And now my unknown has been known now.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_02: And now people like, man, I can do this, I'm inspired.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: Community, friends, um, and opportunities.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: And you've expanded people's wealth.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I yeah, you know, it's a lot of a lot of that has happened, you know.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and you know, when it's all said and done, you know, whatever the most high has for me after this, um, if what I'm doing now don't get me in there, then I I don't know what to do.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: Because this feels right.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_02: It just feels right, like this is how it's supposed to do.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's supposed to be intentional, it's supposed to be sacrificial.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_02: I've sacrificed a lot to to do the stuff I'm doing.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_02: But um God by the weekend will outlive me.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: It'll be here, you know, 30, 40 years from now.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um, biggest thing in the world.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: And with that, that was one of my future questions I'm gonna ask, but I'm gonna refine it though still.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um can you touch on just a few of the things?
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I know you don't want to um like break the mystery of it, but what few things could people expect attending?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_02: Uh first community, you know, like God by weekend is something you can come to by yourself.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: I know that's you know, for some people that's scary, for some people it's like, why would I go to anything by myself, yet alone in the space, city, but you can, you know what I mean?
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_02: And you're gonna gravitate to people and um you're gonna find people you can do life with.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_02: So that's one, two, um, just safe spaces, you know what I mean?
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um, safe spaces for your mental health, for your uh physical health, emotional health, and overall just well-being, you know what I mean.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, my goal is to continue to make God body weekends healthy.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_02: So even with the food and the places that I choose to sponsor or partner with, I've had opportunities to partner with a lot of brands, you know what I mean?
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: But um I tell my team we pass on them quick because it just doesn't align.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want to take no money from uh big pharma.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want to take no money from a brand that's killing our people.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: I just I just I don't.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: And it's difficult because you're trying to figure out how to manage it but still keep the authentic and but um you'll see that at God by the weekend.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_02: And then free food program, um, it's one of my favorite, it is my favorite event of God by the weekend, and my goal for your five is to expand it.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: You know, um, I wanna, if I don't do it this year, I'll do it next year, but I wanna I wanna buy a truck, food truck.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um and I wanna, it's gonna have a free food program on the side of it.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_02: And we're gonna um give, like, I want chefs, I want people that cook to come up there and want to feed the homeless.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_02: And um, and with the food truck, I wanna, I wanna turn it into an actual like place where people come buy food, but what you buy, we give.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: So if you buy something, you're we match it and and give.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_02: So I got I got some different ideas.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully for your five, I can find the food truck I want.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: But you'll just see a bunch of different things, and you'll see people that that, you know, you see melanated individuals.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's the beauty of it all for me, is because creating a space for um, you know, the um the over overlooked and you know, the those that feel suppressed by society and those that just don't feel beautiful enough or talented enough or you'll you know, because we go into these spaces that's not built for us.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm building some of the days for us, and that's got my You touched on Houston's giving you a day.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want to touch on that a little bit, just how that happened?
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I um I've had a day for a long time.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: And um before I was in music, I was uh in politics.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: You know, so I was I'm very much in the community.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_02: Like I spent most of my days in like most of them, like wherever the people are.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_02: Um I'm a Garveyite, so I the way I think is just always like progressive liberation.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: I think about how we we free ourselves from mental slavery, how do we free ourselves from inferiority complexes?
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_02: Like I'm always thinking like that.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_02: And um, you know, I've rallied, I've protested, I've marched, I've I've I've worked at phone banks, I've lobbied, you know what I'm saying?
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: I've done a lot, and um, I've spoken up for, you know, um those that can't speak for themselves.
• 15:39
