  Speaker 2: I'm a producer, engineer, songwriter, actually wear a few hats
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes. But you know, currently, right now, most importantly,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I've been focusing on this justice battle for a new
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: bill which is introduced by New York City called the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Stop Super Speeders Bill. And the reason why I'm publicly
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: advocating for this bill is because my daughter was a
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: victim of traffic violence. And that's what this bill is about,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: traffic violence prevention and basically raising awareness to people who
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: are outside speedy drivers, super speedy drivers who are not
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: aware that they can take someone's lives at any second
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: by speeding and not being cautious of the speed that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: they're driving at. So what I'm gonna do is I'm
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: gonna just I'm gonna rewind a little bit. So back
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in I I've been I've been rocking with this guy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I've been rocking with notes for years Unfortunately, I had
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: got arrested in twenty twenty one. So before that, we
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: were doing some club things. We were doing some music
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: entertainment things and stuff like that. We had a lot
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: of things going. But I ran into some legal issues
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and twenty twenty one I got arrested. I got and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: concerrated to a three year bit. I was just released
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: in February of twenty twenty four after serving my time.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: So never in a million years did I expect the
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: unthinkable to happen, which is, you know, my I lost
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: my daughter, my firstborn, my firstborn daughter. Her name is
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Nayelle McCrory. This is her here, this is her here,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: this is a baby picture out here, and as you
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: see on the table, that's her most recent graduation photo there.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But what happened was on October twenty fourth, I had
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: received a phone call that my daughter was struck by
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a vehicle. So, you know, I'm thinking, okay, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: struck by a vehicle, maybe some broken bones, twisted ankle,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: something you know she can recover from. I was in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn at the time. This instantent occurred at the intersection
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of Manhattan Avenue and West one hundred and tenth Street
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: by the Cathedral Parkway, and I rushed up there immediately.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: When I rushed up there, up there to Harlem, they
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: had already, you know, ambulance got into Morningside Hospital. Myth
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: signed on Morningside and when I got there to the hospital,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: my heart dropped. What I saw was was was it
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: was devastating to any father to see their child wrapped
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: up bandage and bruised and just it just was a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: bad scene. So immediately, because of her damages, I didn't
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what happened. All I know is she
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: got hit by a car. I'm in a state of disbelief, like, okay,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, It still seems to real.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: So because of her injury, she was she was transferred
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: from mounts Mount Sinai over to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital where
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: she They have a specialized trauma unit for kids and children.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: They're known for, you know, working with children and and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and uh dealing with traumatic brain injuries. So what I now,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I know my daughter passed away from a traumatic brain injury.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So my daughter was hit by a super speedy driver.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: The driver was speeding. She's walking across the street to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: catch the bus after day, she never made it across
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the middle double line. Driver came out of nowhere, hit her,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: knocked her all the way in the it flew her up.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: He continued to drive about a block away and then
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: eventually he stopped and came back to the scene where
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: my daughter was laid out there on the floor. It's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: it's I guess like, what was most traumatic for me
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: is I used to speak to my daughter every day
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: on her phone, and I made a lot of plans
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: with her. She was only thirteen years of old. She
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: promised me that she would graduate from UH Junior High
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and into high school. And she she played her part.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: She never she never made it to high school.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: She made it to high school. Okay, it was her
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: first year freshman. She made it by the grace of God,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: turned the life around thirty days, got her grades up,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: made it to a prom and everything. But what was
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: more devastating is because I would have never thought in
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a million years coming home that I was going to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: be burying my child within that same year. So seven
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: days she spent fighting for her life at Columbia Presbyterian.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Family all kind of calls, everybody just support supportive. We
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: all were praying, praying, wish and hoping that she would
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: come up out of this and this coma. They had
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to put in an aduce coma because from the impact her
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: skull hit the submit in the street a few times.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: So she had a very big swelling and I had
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: we prayed that it would go down. Unfortunately it got
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: worse by the seventh day. That was that was, that
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: was it for us, you know. The seventh day, me mom,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: along with other family members, we just prepared for a
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: peaceful passing. She couldn't it or her vital maight couldn't
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: fight no more. She was on the highest dose of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: blood Prussian medicine for thirteen years old. It was just
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: it was it was a horrific scene there. But also
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I got my peace because I was there. I was
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: able to you know, me and her mother we we
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: we we we created her and we were there with
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: her all the way until the body bag. You know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we put her in the body bag on that seventh day.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: For that moment, like as a father being like and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I sent my love to you, bro, because
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I can't I can't imagine that I ain't even with you, bro,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: because I have two They got to put me in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the grave behind them. If I ever was to ever
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: have to cross that that path, they would have to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: better me with them. Bro on top, I can't woke
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this earth without like my pride enjoys. But as a father,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: for that moment, like, how did you feel?
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Numb? Numb? Numb was the best words so that I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: can explain because so much was going on. There was
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: so much energy, cries, you know, differ revenge. People were
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: feeling revengeful. People wanted to go through things, and I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: came home, I took my Shahaa in prison. I'm a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Muslim man, I understand what I'm saying, So as a
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: god fearing man, there were just certain judgment calls that
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I could not make as a man because that's not
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: my position. I let go and I let God here
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and do a lot of things. And aside from being numb.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Even in that moment, you still felt that way.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: At that moment, I felt like because I didn't know
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: what was going on, I wanted to see the footage.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: That's what it was. I didn't know what happened. My
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: attorneys in legal finally got me the footage and I've
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: seen it. I watched it over a hundred times, my
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: daughter's last days on his earth. It was just I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: was angry. You know, I'm angry to this day. I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: just find healthy coping mechanisms to deal with the pain.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: The pain is never gonna go away. It's a certain
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: type of pain that I wish you on nobody. But
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: after a while, you gotta learn how to turn that
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: pain into power. And that's what made me become even
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: more of a public advocate, because I get a chance
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: to go out in front of millions of people as
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a speaker and tell my story which can possibly impact
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: the next person and help somebody else's life, you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: from advocating in the public way. But besides being numb,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, the whole seven days, I
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: was strong. I did not break down. I didn't really
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I cried a few times as it got closer by
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: No remember first one fifty one in the morning, she
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was pronounced that it was the worst. It was the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: worst screams I ever heard in the room. It was
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: it was, man, it was.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: How do you create it? So it's like somebody you
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: watch girls.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It felt surreal, It still feels surreal to this day.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: It felt surreal, and I was just like damn, like
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: why I kept asking why me? Like why me out
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: of all people? Because I have to tell like, like
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: even from anybody that know me knows, I got the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: heart a goal like I give. I'm a giver, I help.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I got a passion for seeing people win. Like I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: literally a chosen one, Like and you know what the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: chosen was. We go through the most in life.
• 11:50

• 13:28
  Speaker 2: last cash AFT to my daughter cash after at one

  Speaker 2: thing that did give me my closure. I told my
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: daughter I love her, and she told me she loved me.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: We did tell each other we love each other via text.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: So I did get that, you know, confirmation that Okay,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I did tell her, at least I told her I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: love her. I told my daughter I love her. She
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: know I love her, God know I love her. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: she told me she loved me. But by one forty something,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I got that call and I and I was just confused.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I was with my other daughter at the time. I
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: had to rush all the way from Clinton Hills, all
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the way from her school, all the way uptown to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: get to my daughter's mother. My daughter's mother is a mess.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: She's getting stronger today. She can't put up the fight.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: It's different. It's different from my nobody going to fill
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the pain. Nobody's gonna hurt more.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Carried nine months like than my daughter's mother.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: That's that's only child, that's a that's her first born,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: first born. She has another child. But she did everything,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: everything with my daughter, everything with our daughter, you know, and.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The first kid is always to struggle. So it's like
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: not go out.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: We tell you it was a different.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: You figure out being a parent through your first kid
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: like me and my mother born. You know, it's like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: me and my mother been through the struggle to storm.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So my brother and sister good live a good life
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: like I've been do the shelters with my mother and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: everything else. So it's like I understand that feeling, like,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: how is your mental today? Your mental health today?
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Man, that's a good. That's a good. Topics Mental Health Away,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Mental Health Awareness Month, this.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: City is important, brof.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I'm on MADS bro Like my mental
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: and emotional distress levels have increased. I had to get
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: back on psych mans. I have several mental health disorders,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: especially coming home from prison, and I suffer with PICKS,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: which is post in conservation syndrome. A lot of people
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: who come home don't really know about this, but it's real.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: It's called PICKS p I c S. You can look
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: it up. Post in conservation syndrome comes from when you're
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: concerrated and you're isolated from general public for so long.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: So whether you're in shoe which is the box, or
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: whether you're in whatever confinement, you're restricted from GP which
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: is general population, and just being in prisoner period, you
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: are restricted from society, from the world. So imagine doing
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: so much time in the box, doing that much time
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: in a cage, doing that much time in the room,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you start to lose touch of a lot of things,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: and mentally and psychologically subconsciously. That's where the picks come
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: in posting conservation syndrome. So it's something that we if
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: we don't pay attention to it, we act angry, we
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: act out of anger, and it's really not the way,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: but it's something rare on top of everything else I've
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: been done with. I also was struggling with housing. When
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I came home, I went into the shelter. I'm just
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: now a year later. You know, from staying down and
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: making real sacrifices, your doors are opening up for me.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: If you don't mind me asking, what does picks feel like?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: How does that feel in your.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: It's isolation m hm. You you feel you isolate yourself
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and segregate yourself from a lot of people, places, and
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: things because you can. It can make you feel, It
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: can make you feel what's the word, I want to
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: make sure you use the right word, Like that inner
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: energy of anger. It can make you react and hurt somebody.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: So like in a scenario situation, you could be somewhere
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: amongst people and.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Just bug out and don't even know you could just
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: spaz out like literally, like literally, just like somebody could
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: say something to you and you don't even know why
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you respond to just slap this person or while you
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: just curse this person out or or or worse. You're
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: using language to dehumanize people's character. And that's not I'm
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: not of the I'm of building people. I'm of building.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I'm of love, peace and happiness. I buy by the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: twelve Jews. And there's also you know, we in Islam,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: we have pillars and articles of faith that we bide by.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: You understand what I'm saying as a muscler. Now, I
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: just think that it's it if you have like an,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I had a lot of psychological issues that I did
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: not know about until I went to psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: really important for people who have maybe you schizophrenia, bipolar, man,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: you got the suffer from depression. You know, I already
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: suffered from depression, from a mental health dis what I got,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So this just made it. I went through depression. I'm
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: just coming out of it, like literally mine as well. Silent.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: It hit different, but it's times where I don't want
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: to shower, I don't want to wake up, I don't
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: want to do nothing. It's a struggle with them, and
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: that's when you have to stay gotta stay prayed. Up.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: You have to pray. You have to pray, and if
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: you don't have any kind of connection to the higher
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: power or to the most hard, I advise people to,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you know, get to get a hold of that and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: get to know God. You know. I don't want to
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: go too much into it, but I don't want to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: be respectful of people's place. I know where I stay.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: All I do is I pray for people. I'm not
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: about breaking down character and breaking men down or breaking
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: women down. Now before when I was young, you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: we're young. We don't know how we are. We may
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: do things and we don't know why, but it all
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: stems from trauma. And it's always trauma that we have
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: not truly gotten over. And this is why we have
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: issues with women. This is why we have issues with
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: our kids, while we have issues with parents and the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: public period, because we keep running. We running, we think
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: what we're doing, you know, we jumping this course, doing it,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and then what happens We crash. Yeah, everybody got a
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: crash out. I don't care who you are, whether you cry, fight,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, you're gonna crash out. And then that's
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: usually the breaking point.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Being is it hard?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Still?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Like like you said, your disorder, right, Yeah, is it
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: hard being in behind like in a room with just
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: four walls and just shoe do you still feel do
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it still bring you back to that cell? That like
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: being in a.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Shoe in shoe And then see, I did my time
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: at in the beginning, I was in the Max, so
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: it was different. So they send me all the way upstate,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: and I was saying to myself, but I only got
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: three years. Why is y'all putting me around people who
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: got life twenty years twenty five? My first bunkie life,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: second Bunkie twenty five, third Bunkie twenty two. I'm in
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: there with the people that's doing. I'm like, I only
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: got punk ass little three years.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Hard. You got hard, they got hard.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: They got hard. But the stories, the wisdom that I
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: gave them and that we shared amongst each other'sself, it
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: really like grown me crying. It's a lot of good people.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I don't care with nobody. I know, you know at
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: some point you wilding out, there's a place for you. Yeah,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: it's a place for you. You know that's gonna segregate
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: you from society. But there's so many great people in
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: prison that I met that. I just wish they had
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: another chance, you know what I mean. And a lot
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: of O G sat me down and was like, listen,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I met people that knew my family and knew as
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: people I ran into and there. I didn't even see
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: him in a while, and I'm like, what you're doing here?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: So in the beginning, you know, the came go back
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: of what you said. I wasn't. It's two times out
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: in the island. You locked in the set when you
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: were such intake. That's when you locked the way. When
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: you're upstate. Its shoe. I've experienced all. It's just that man,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: you know, like like like jeling. Prison is no place
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: for a human being. And what happens is, after a
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: while you start to get numbing. You just there's nothing
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: you can do about it. If you really want to
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: make it through your bid, the best thing to do
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: is pray, stay in the corner, stay out the way.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: If you start and adjusting, that's it, especially if you
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: got a little bit of medium time. I eventually got
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: transferred to a medium, so I was dealing with me.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a chef, so I was the cook. I'm in
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the kitchen and a messhole. I got my food handle this.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I came home with seven different certifications. I didn't play
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: games when I was in there. I made the best
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: of my time and it was free and it was
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: something to do to keep me active, keep my mind going.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I read over one hundred books. I read a lot
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: about I learned a lot about politics and people from
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: reading Michael Mexico, you know what I mean. And you
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: know Lord Rules of Secrecy. A lot of different rules
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: and books and things I read that kept my mind going.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: And that's how I made it out and with it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: And I really made it with the smith a lot
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: through God, because I've been through some some some ship
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: some stuff. Go back.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The guy that was speaking, did they ever did you
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: ever get convicted? Do you ever see any jail time?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Like what? That's the raids right now while mixings go harder.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I received a very disturbing call last month and unfortunately,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: just the investigator on his case, you know, they they
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: they they didn't find no criminality with this guy.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: So even though you're hitting ran, that's not a crown.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: That's that's gonna have to be a battle that were
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: opening up in civil court. So it's not like we're
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: giving up it's two parts to a case.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Open up in civil court.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: You're gonna open up. We gotta we gotta start the
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: civil court proceedings with the legal team, because it's not
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: making sense to us. It's not to say that we
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: can't fight and go for justice. But police is saying, Hey,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: this god then was not speeding, he was not doing this,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: he's not doing that, he didn't do this, he's not
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: we can't arrest him. That's why we can't arrest them,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: which is contradicted to the police report.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I thought when you leave the scene, it's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: like a hit and running.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: And it's it's much more. It's deeper than what I'm
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: saying that I will talk, we'll talk behind the scenes
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: about that, but it's it's deeper than just you know
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: what people think. And I started my instincts started talking
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: to me, and I started seeing this whole thing. It's
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: much bigger in all honesty, and I said it for
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the record, I really feel like that person, whoever that
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: driver was, is of hot stature. So the Lord's gonna
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: protect this person if he's of the law. I don't know.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I gotta leave it at that. You get what I'm saying,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna find out because we have a lot
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of information. But I'm gonna be honest with you. Arresting
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: this man, whatever you're gonna do this man, it's never
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: gonna be enough. Can't can't bring back my daughter's like
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: hold on a lot of people, A lot of people,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: whole lot of people on my side and in that side,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: mother's side, at what's up what we're doing?
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Nah, we can't.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. I can't see myself taking somebody
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: else's life. After I clearly saw the footage. You know what,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: you know what really hurts with a pain hit y'all?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Ship was an accident, really.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: And you you determined that by watching that video really
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: an act?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: It was really an accident. That's the part that hurts.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: When my daughter went out, she never looked to the right.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: When you're not putting doing you in them streets. It's
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: called a cross walk for a reason.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: So she stepped out in the streets without looking both ways.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: What any other kid would do, any other kid I've
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: done a hundred times.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Rush at him. Yeah you rush. I'm about to get
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: to my friend's house getting my hair done. Were about
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to go get your friends, get down nails. You just
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: got money in my cash that Pops just gave me.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I'm hip my mind. I could see the enthusiasm in
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: her movement when she's waiting to go. I could see it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: And she was waiting to get to her and on
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the others, you know, her friends. She was going to me.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Her friend is devastated to this day. She never made
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: it though. Imagine getting a call you gotta come here,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and then you get that call like, oh nah, bro, bro,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: he ain't that ship go? What? Psychologically right there in there,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: it shifts, It shifts those doper means and neual transmitters.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: It's different. So you know it in that in that
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: in that case, you know.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of it's like a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: lot of emotions because you.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Know it's a lot it's a real touchy case because
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: the parents.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like my baby girl
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: can't come back. So it's like and it's.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Something that I gotta live with because if if you
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: if you go on, you know what I mean, we
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: get you get revengeful, right. I always tell people revenge
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: is of the Lord. When you really think of it,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: revenge is of the Lord. If you in a spiritual realm,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: if you really believe in God, nothing goes unnoticed. The
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: truth always comes out. I just think that in this
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: situation here, you know what, na yao. My daughter was
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: very special, truly gifted, and God, God, God brought her
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: home for a reason. It was something in the future.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe I can't see, maybe I couldn't see. Maybe it
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: was something none of us could see. But I'm convinced.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: My daughter got seven written all over that number seven.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Tell you something about the number seven. I'm thirty seven.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Her mother's thirty seven. Her birthday is November seventeenth. She
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: survived seven days.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: As soon as you said she survived seven days. It's
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: exactly where my mom went to that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Seven is golling in. Eight is new beginnings. It's crazy, bro,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: seven days fighting it by that last day, that eighth
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: time for the start of new life. He brought a home.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: You just dropped some knowledge on me. I know because
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: like thinking about that, it's like seven days in the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: hospital with my eight d I came home like a
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: new life for.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: You. Go ate his new beginnings and I'm not gonna lie.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I don't like Halloween, which is the thirty. First, I
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: don't really like that day. It's a lot of things
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: that go on that I don't agree with. And I
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: begged that norder. I begged them in the hospital, please
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: do not let my daughter pass away on this day.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Please don't. And they gave me that grace. God gave
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: me that grace. By the one fifty one on November one,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: which is, oh, seventeen days before her fourteenth birthday, they
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: go that seventh again. Damn, seventeen days before fourteenth birthday
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: is crazy. So I when I kept asking God why
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: it would already was that's just that's just when I
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: when I when I was like, man, this is just
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: she was really an angel.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. Angels seven time fourteen?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Should you say she held in twenty fourth?
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Look seven times to fourteen? Yeah, that's great.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: She held on in twenty fourth.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: She got hit October twenty fourth, I.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Said, interviewing on seven, ain't it seven? That's crazy? Seven
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: to twenty four?
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I was, I was, you know, I was gonna ask you,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: but you're kind of saying it. But I was going
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: to ask you, as you've you know, I thought about
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: this endlessly, like what and I don't know if this
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: is too revealing, But like, what do you what? What
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: has God communicated to you through all of this? It
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: seems like you already are like on you're making, You're making.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: A different trends. I'm in a different realm. I'm in
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: a different dimension now. Honestly speaking, my dimension has changed mentally,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and I see my growth. I just I just pray
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: for strength every day, and I pray that I'm a
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: firm believer in divine pre ordaemon, which is whatever God wills,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: whatever is of his will, will be of his will,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: it will be done. If it's not of his will,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: it will not be done, which is basically you have
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: to remember this sometimes I tell you this, this is
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: how I look it. Like when you pray and you've
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: manifested so much into something because you want it that bad,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: You've applied to steps. There's an not the manifestation. A
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: lot of people don't know there's an art to it
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: when you apply them steps and you fall back. If
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: it's of his will and it's of the universe to happen,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: is going to happen for you, no matter what nobody
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: tries to do. They could try to block you, call you,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen because of the energy and your
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: mindset and the focused level. So the vane pre ordain it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: There's something I'll lived by, which is sometimes when you
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: want something so bad and you notice that it doesn't happen,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: been that's God not willing it into your life, because
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: that means the negative. It possibly means that the negative
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: is going to outweigh the positive. And as a as
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: a chosen one and as a God fearing person, you
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: have to be obedient and look at it from that,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: from that angle. Now, when he wills it for you
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: like this here, what's going on right now? This is
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: a will. This is all of his will. It's no,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: it's this is this No, this is of his will.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: It was meant for me to link back up with
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: my brother right here. This is all of his will.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: But we have real we are we are we are kings,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: and we are real, we are organic. This is organically happening.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: We forced us to happen. That's how I know it's
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: real and there's something big coming out of this. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: can feel it, you know what I mean. So when
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: he wills something for you, it's going to happen. That
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: means the positive is going to exceed the negative, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: it's for you because God is not of negative. Absolutely
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: put things in your life that isn't going to help
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: you elevate. So when you start elevating it, that's where
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: the prayers come in. The do eves come in. Understand
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the thank yous coming to being humble, just being just
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: being resilient, just waiting because it's gonna happen. We get
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: impatient and the worst thing the man is ego.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Definitely damn brother. How do you sleep because, like me
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: suffering mental heffort, I suffer with PTSD for what happened
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to me. Sometimes I ain't lize. Some days be harder
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: than others. To point, I don't want to go to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: sleep because I don't want to relive what happened to me.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: You sat there and said, you watched this. You watch
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the video thousands of times, right, sometimes you won't be
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: scared to close your eyes because you're gonna see that
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: video again.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: No, the reason, and I tell you why. The video
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: gave me my composure. It gave me my I mean
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: not composure, my closure because I had a I was lost.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what happened to her. All I mind you,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: when my daughter got hit, she was perfect from the
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: neck down, from the neck down perfect. She had embrasires
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: and scratches on her arm. So I'm investigating, like why
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: she got this with her face, you know, and just
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: above you know, her head was scratched up, and she
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: had to bandage on me because what they had to
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: do was they had to put her the pain was
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: so bad on the thirteen she's thirteen years old. Mindful,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: remember she's not an adult. Thirteen years old. The pain
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: was so bad they had to put it in an
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: a duce comba because of the screaming and hollering and
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: that threshold pain she had to deal with, of course,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: and we were praying and hoping that she would wake
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: up and come out of the induced coma. She never did.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: The swelling was so bad in her brain that it
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: just kept enlarging. And as a thirteen year old, your
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: brain is only your skulars only was so big, so
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: it's only with so much space before that, and that's
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: when it we you know, we they checked the pupils.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: She had reaction, there was no activity, there was activity.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: There was no activity, there was activity. We keep checking
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: our pupils of dilating, dillaying. Then after a while and
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: went no reaction, no reaction. No, that's what we knew.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: She was leaving. After seven days, she was leaving.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Every day was every.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Day was I didn't leave. I stood in the hospital
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: every I didn't know where me and mother would nowhere.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I stood by my daughter's bed every day, me and
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: every day until the end. So I just really that
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: brings us to this here, which is.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Just about to get into it NA see segment. So
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: pretty much like just what do you hear?
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Traffic violence is real? Y'all?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Let's push what bear like, let's push what we be
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: here for today.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I'm here to push that narrative that traffic violence is real.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Nobody thought and that split second from her being hit
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: that it would take her life. But you gotta also
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: remember that same year, in twenty twenty four, last year,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty two people here in New York
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: City died from traffic violence. That's how, that's how, that's
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: the problem. And oh, actually two hundred and fifty three,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: three four and fifty three people were killed the traffic crashers.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: One person was killed every thirty five hours, and pedestrian
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: fatalities rolls twenty one percent over the previous year. Through
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: the fatalities and traffic speedy drivers, super speedy drivers. So
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a part when I went to her vigil, we
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: had a vigil for her, a memorial there. It's still
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: up there. It's on the corner of one tenth and
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Manhattan Avenue. You'll see it. I'm been advocating for the
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: street co naming, which I'm getting ready to submit soon.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: That's District nine and District ten. So I got all
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: the rules and regulations I got tell me about that,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: so right automatically, I created a petition online via change
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: dot org for to have this street co named after
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: my daughter. We raised over nine hundred signatures.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Going still up and going my signature.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: We raised over nine hundred signatures from just the public alone,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: physically going to people way more. Now, what happens is
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: whenever you're doing whenever, what I learned from the district is,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: whenever you're actually submitting an application for a street code name,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: sixty of the signatures needs to be from the residents
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: who live on the block closely in that area. So
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: recently we had a rally. A lot of people came
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: out Senator Cordell Claire, who's a that's her district. We
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: got support from uh. We got support from Yusuf Salon,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: which is that's his district as well. Assembly Man lastly
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: came out. Shout out to them and Brad Lander, Brad Lander,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: who's the New York City's calm controller. He's act Brad Lander.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: If you don't know what's actually running for mayor right
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: now for New York City. And for them to come
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: out to the rally meant a lot for me, and
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I thank them all for that. The bill is actually
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: being sponsored by Gallagher and it's endorsed by oh Man
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Man I forgot all his part in me for It'll
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: come back though, It'll circle back around.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I want you to sit down link Yeah.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: He can put it up.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: So I got to sign get other people to sign up.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and to sign up to make that happen. And
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: we have until June seventeenth, that's our cutoff. Before before
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: we actually we were trying to push to get this
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: bill signed and passed through this House of Legislation. So
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I've been back and forth to Albany these next three weeks.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be back and forth to Albany going up
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: there for the lobbying we've been lobbying at the state
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: cabin YEP. So more about the bill. It's called the
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Stop super Speeders Bill, and it's the S forty forty
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: five in the Senate, and it's the A twenty two
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: ninety nine in Assembly and then basically the speed Limiters
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: for repeat Offenders, and it's the bill will require the
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: most reckless drivers to install a speed limitter, which physically
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: prevents driving more than five miles per hour over the
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: speed limit on their vehicle. So it would only apply
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: this is the catch. It would only apply to any
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: person that's driving a vehicle that receives six or more
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: speed or red light camera tickets in a year, and
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: any driver who receives eleven or more points on their
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: license in two years. So we're not saying, hey, take
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: their life. We're not saying hey punish them, throw them
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: in prison. No, we're saying, yo, time out, slow down.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: You're not aware. Maybe you under emotional mental distress, maybe
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: you going through some things. You're just unaware it happens,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: So you tell you, like, if a car run the
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: red light, then the camera take six more pictures.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Because you're considered a super security drive. Okay, okay, you're
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: a reckless driver.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: You reckless or they don't take the cops to point me.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: No, as long as you this is why you can't
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: catch it.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: You got to put it on your car.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: That's what we're saying. We're trying to basically establish a
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: medium and balance between law enforcement and actually helping to
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: raise awareness of stop speeding drivers. So this device will
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: be placed into your vehicle. It's compatible GPS, and no
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: matter how hard you that gas down to the floor,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: you will not exceed twenty five miles per hour, even
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: though in the highway you wouldn't exceed sixty or whatever
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: miles per hour. That's so pretty much trained.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I'm on the highway into sixty five, I'm gonna go
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: sixty five.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: That's no matter how hard yep. Okay, okay, yep. And
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: that's the bring And if you're at sixty five, it's
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: gonna trigger awareness. So it's not saying hey, throw in prison,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: We say no, we want to. We found a medium
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: a waiter. You know, it's already passed in state Virginia
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: and Washington, d C. Just recently to states so far
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: this Yes, and we are the state that introduced this bill.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: We need to be in top three. So we have
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: until the seventeenth to get this thing rolling. Get this
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: bill rolling, and I'm gonna talk about a little bit
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: about the device, which is called is a get into it.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: So the solution this is. So, the problem is people
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: are being killed by New York's most reckless drivers. New
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: York City School Zone speed camera program slows down the
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: vast majority of drivers, but a few super speeders are
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: taking advantage of the system. So here's a solution. Solution
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: is a simple device known as Intelligence Speed Assistems, which
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: is an ISA, or we say a speed limitter. It
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: can be installed or any motor vehicle to prevent it
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: from exceeding the speed limit. Similar. I don't know if
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: y'all know, but it's similar to the breathalyzer interlock devices
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: for repeat drunk for repeat it drunk drivers.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: That's the thing you gotta blow before the cost starts up.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: And the law can require the installation of speed limiteds
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: for the most reckless drivers. Yes, so the breathalyzer interlocks.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: If you don't know if you're repeated offender, the d
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: you know, drive it walk. They're gonna instore that in
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: your car now. And if that if it senses any
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: kind of alcohol in your vehicle, shut down, that's amazing.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Shut down.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I know somebody had that in their car. You got
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: they gotta blow into the car and to take a
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: picture too. Steps to it once that that's the only
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: way your car will start.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Up, the steps to it. And and that's just it's just,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: you know, we a lot more lives to be saved,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: and that's what this is about. I'm advocating on this
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: bill to save lives. I'm a part of saving lives definitely,
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: instead of you know, killing people.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: And you're not somebody just just talking this.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: I was affected. I can relate to it. Yes, I
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: can relate to it. I was affected by losing my
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: daughter to traffic violence.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Saving more lives like this.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: So if I can save more lives, I became a
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: member of York New York State Streets Coalition, which is there.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: I'm a member of it. I actually brought something for
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: you too. I bought something for y'all too, the Safe
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Streets button that's for you, and I got a T
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: shirt for you as well.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Put on you know that.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Sure and that's just a memory when you're moving around
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: and just remember, you know, stay safe when you're in
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: these streets.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: The memory of your adulter man.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: That's a fact. And you here, I got one for
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: you too, just so you you know, because it is
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: the smallest I didn't know how many people couldn't be
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: here if it was gonna be a group or but
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: it's good it actually worked out the way it is.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you one too, because we print them
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: up all the time. I get those done by them.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: There's nothing to print.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: What could I do to help? How can I extend myself?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: What people can do? For more information on this bill
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: and if you want to support it, go to Families
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: for Stafe Streets dot org. That is the website. And
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: you want people to do, And what I want people
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: is to get in contact with their senators, their local senators,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: get in contact with their AMN local assembly members and
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: let them know about signing on and supporting co sponsoring
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: the S forty forty five and the A twenty two
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: ninety nine Stop super Speeders Bill. It's there, and push it,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: push it, raise awareness. You know, we have until the seventeenth.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: We're hoping and praying that we will get it passed.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: It has. We did get an update the other day
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Senator Ganadas, that's who I was speaking of earlier. So
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Senator Ganadas is going extremely hard up there and ope
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: for this bill. He is pansponse. He is the man
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: that's really pushing it and he helped it it actually
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: makes it actually made some progression in the Senate Committee
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: last week. So we're making move. We're making some moves.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: That's what this is really about, raising awareness. There's other
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: bills as well, but this is the most important ones
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: for me. I am a bite this group. There's bills
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: out there for bicyclists and cyclists as well. There's a
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: lot of new bills that are being implemented that you're
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: gonna see. You're gonna see it soon. They got one
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: where I'll talk about them right quick, just so. They
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: have one which is called the there's fourth one is
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Complete Streets Maintenance. The other one is defined Safe Passing.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: The third one is stop as Yield, which is called
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: the Idaho Stop. And then the fourth one is the
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: one I've been speaking on, which is the speed limiteds
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: for the most reckless drivers. Perfect the Complete Streets maintenance.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: We got a few sponsors on that which it includes,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: when possible, complete street design features and resurfacing, maintenance and
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: pay recycling projects. And further enable safe access to public
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: roads for all users. Defined safe passing requires motorists to
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: follow at least to allow at least it's and I
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: believe it's pasted or have don't quote me, but require
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: motorists to allow at least three feet between vehicle and pedestrians, bicyclists,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: bicyclists and wheelchair users when overtaken or passing. And it
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: applies outside of New York City. No change to the
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: existing law in New York City, which requires a safe
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: distance and then stop as yield is. It's proven safety
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: measure that allows cyclists to treat stop lights as stop
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: signs and stop signs as yields. So if you're a cyclist,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: when you go to that red light, you gotta stop.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: No, I see what you're saying.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: That's where I've been, bro, I've been. I've been in
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: it with the organizations advocating for these bills, just doing them.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: No non for profit work out here, keep doing these communities.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Is anything I could do? COMMU talk walk with you, bro,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I'm ten tones out with.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: This absolutely and we're doing this. Man. Like I said,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: you got kids, Yeah, other people got kids out there.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: I really don't want somebody to experience this pain. This
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: pain and losing a loved one I don't even have
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: to be a child is the worst love one period
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: to traffic violence. It can be avoided. Can't save the world,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: can't control everybody, but we can start somewhere to restructure.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Two questions before we wrap up. First question is if
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: you was if you had an opportunity to be in
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: front of the guy that hate your daughter, what would
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: you say.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Mm hm when you impacted my When you when your
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: vehicle struck my daughter, why didn't you stop? Why were
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: you unable to stop automatically? That would give me because
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: if I ask him that, it would give me what
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: it is that I've been knowing the whole time. And
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: my man, you were speeding. That's the real reason. I
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: just want to see if you gonna admit it. But
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: that's one, you know the answer that that's I would
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: have to ask that when you struck my daughter, why
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: didn't you stop automatically? What prevented you from stopping your vehic?
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Because when you hit. I'm a driver, I got a peripheral.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: I see something coming from my peripheral. Sure, first thing
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: I think to do is slam on the brakes.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Sometimes when you're move so fast, you can't.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: There you go keyword moving.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Fast, the driver of a speed demon.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I think I used to be a speed demon. I
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: stopped after this. It's so hard for me. It's easy
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: for me to point out the speed is now when
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: you're going through this, and when you start a bottom
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: bottle speed limit lows and things, you start seeing life differently.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Would you like that meeting with that person? Do you
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: feel like you're ready for that?
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Me? Yes? Other people no, No, And I don't think
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: they ever want to have that.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: I'm one of them.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Ever, I understand, I really don't. I'm gonna be honest
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: with you. I view him as a coward. I don't
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: view him as a real man, because if you knew
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: you did this, you should have came forth. M hm.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: And according to when I picked up that police report,
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I was told from a sergeant when I went into
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: that priestinct that upon police arriving, you pretended to be
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: a witness mm hmm. And then they eventually find you
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: see you see what goes on right then and there.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: It's always it's like, hey, this is what I'm this
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: is the fight. Bro ain't out.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: He's saying, you act like you a witness, and it's like.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: That's what and that's what I was told when I
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: picked up that.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Report, was just like you swing for money, right.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: The lawyers in them is already going through the right.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: But they're doing that part. I don't even really care
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: about what she can't bring.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: She can't bring my jail, can't bring my daughter's back.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Like it's just doing it's the justice doing that right.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: You try to hide the fact that she was behind
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: that steering wheel, like was he drunk?
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: So the bus driver, I got a witness the bus,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: the same guy who was driving the bus, that same
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: bus that she was running for, because I got the footage.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: She's in there, but the buses right there when we
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: had the rally. Look how guard works. The bus driver
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: happened to be coming down the same block the same
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: time as the valley came out. The bus stopped, the
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: whole bus stopped, everybody in the street got off. The
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: bus made it. I got his number, name, and everything
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: made it his business to get off that bus and
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: come shake my hand and say I was the driver
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: that day, and gave me more information about this reckless driver.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Said I've seen everything that put him there for a reason,
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: said I've seen everything. I seen everything that happened, and
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: told me he was getting ready to take off. He
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: had no intentions of coming back. There was a con
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Netison truck that kept beeping their horn basically getting attention
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: to get him back. He had no intentions in coming back.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: He was just gonna and leave. Leave him, damn. But
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: I see him in the phone. I got a photo
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: of him. He came back to the scene. Black. Yeah,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: I got a photo of him. Came back to the scene.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: But now his where it's it's a little gray shaded area.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Usually I don't want to say a crime scene because
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: she wasn't pronounced dead at that time. However, she was injured.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: And in the photo he's standing.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Next door.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: With a phone out. The bus driver told me he's
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: the one who called it in. The bus driver called it,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get that for you. That if I'm
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: going to get that for you, he had the phone
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: to do what he had his phone I was told
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: from the person who took the photo that he was
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: on remorse. Maybe I'm here, I'm here on the way,
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: try and please stay here with us, try trying.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: That's that's the first thing I think when you say
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: that he was saying he was a witness, because the
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: only reason why somebody would still be there because they
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: want to they know what they've done.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Let me see, you just need to know older brother, younger,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: young older guy.

  Speaker 2: Here's the there's another killer. The vehicle he was driving
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: was the rental no.

• 55:56
  Speaker 2: five to twenty five on it that day and it
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: was registered out of town, so Enterprise automatically they you know,

  Speaker 2: they offer always gonna offer a settlement or I ain't
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: take that told my being taking none of that shit.
• 56:10

  Speaker 2: What she did do was she men did a lot
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: of relationships and men did hearts. God's gift. My daughter

  Speaker 2: That was one of her dreams. So in retrospect, that's
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: really what we're aiming for.

  Speaker 1: We gotta push that. We got to make that happen.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, naming right after World Bro that the street call.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: It's all coming. It's just timing patience a lot of
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: his patients and just timing and just knowing that you
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: know that there will be better days. Some days I wake.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Up and I'm like, you have every rate to feel
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: like them.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: That's a fact. Like I really was bugging out psychologically
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: to the point where they switched my psych mass three
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: times already because this one I'm on now is the
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: best because I can sleep. I really was not sleeping
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: at all, and that's not helping. And that wasn't helping
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: me because my bags was coming. I was over, I
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: was mentally fatigued, everything just train overcapacitated. I had no
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: mental capacity for nothing.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Then it's like you can't even be like this because
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: you still got another kid to live for.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Right, and it's her sister. She leaves two sisters behind,
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: and it's just hurt them. It's hurt them. I have
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: another daughter and my daughters, you know, my bem, she
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: has another daughter. So you know now, y'all was a
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: dancer though she was a stuff TikTok. She was a
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: TikTok trend setter. They loved her on TikTok and she
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: touched a lot of kids. She left behind a legacy.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that came out for that
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: rally just just passed on.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful. A few weeks strong man, definitely strong.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: That's it and that's all I can be. Bro. But
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: I'm strong but broken. I tell people like this my
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: heart without a shot of a doubt. It's broken, but
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: it still works. Okay, my heart is broken, but it
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: still works. And I'm gonna keep doing God's work. Keep
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: doing it, bro, you know or these changes, I just
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: want to say, like, love your love your children while
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: you have them, Love on them. You know, never never
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: never say goodbye. I teach minds to see I see
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: you later. You know what I mean, because that that
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: goodbye word could could subconsciously and it causes mental issues
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: when when that person really leave and that's the last
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: thing you told them, you know what I mean. So
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: I'm a firm believer and I see you later because
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: I feel I will see you later. When when it's
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: you know, goodbye, is like bye, like that's final. I
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna see you man, or I don't want to
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: see you again, or I just wasn't trained or taught to,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: you know, use the proper terms and what's powerful.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: So before we get out of here and leave the
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: people with a message.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: There's a mantra that I lived by and knowledge is
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: power because it truly is. But there's also a quote
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: that I kind of throw out there and I live
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: by it as well. But not everyone deserves a front
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: row seat to your life. Sometimes you have to love
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: protecting care from a distance. Hashtag everybody can't go. So
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: if you understand that and you kind of figure out
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: your surroundings in your life a little bit, just because
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: you meet somebody January first, the winner, don't mean that
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: y'all gonna be cool by August first, the summer. Because
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: people into your life for what different reasons and different seasons.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: If this person is not adding to your success and
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: they're not helping you elevate. Cut them out quick. It's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: not that you don't love them, it's not that you
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: don't care about them, but they're holding you up to
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: get into the next dimension. There's different dimensions in life.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: There's really levels. Meek wasn't lying all these people preaching
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: and talking about it like, it's really levels to it.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: I find myself. I went from an extrovert to an introvert.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: It's nothing wrong with being an introvert, it's nothing wrong
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: with being a loner, also being a loan wolf. But
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: I know the power behind me, and I know the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: power that I possessed within my mind what I can
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: do to this world absolutely by myself. Absolutely, so I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: don't need a gang of people or gang on need
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: none of that.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: I'm walking to walk with God and God got me absolutely,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: God got us.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Look at you, bro, you survived one of the worst
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: things you hear. Still I'm still here and you and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: you chosen. Because I know you chosen. That's why you

  Speaker 2: and not connect like we do that we both God
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: is gonna always put you around the ones from this
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: point on. Once you start hitting past your twenty five,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: you start hitting thirty thirty five. Like everybody that gravitates
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: to you most likely shares a success story with you,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: and they the chosen one. The chosen ones go through
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: the most in life. Why because we are the strongest,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: We're gonna keep getting the most hardest battles.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they ain't gonna stop there, even keep going. Every
