Speaker 2: what we do what we do here on the Crew Podcast.
3:56
Speaker 2: So I am excited, excited, excited that you saw when
4:00
Speaker 2: we was coming on. There were a couple notes, a
4:05
Speaker 2: couple of things. If you are a king, if you
4:09
Speaker 2: are male and you would like to join the magazine
4:14
Speaker 2: and get featured inside of the magazine, I encourage you
4:18
Speaker 2: to reach out. You can reach out to aspiring authors
4:23
Speaker 2: A A. L. A C. At gmail dot com and
4:29
Speaker 2: grab you a feature. What better way to showcase your brand?
4:34
Speaker 2: You have opportunity to share your brand around the world.
4:38
Speaker 2: We are a global magazine, y'all. We are available on
4:42
Speaker 2: most all platforms. You can get us through digital printed.
4:49
Speaker 2: We are available on Amazon, We're available on mad Cloud.
4:54
Speaker 2: We're available on blurb. So there is so many different
4:58
Speaker 2: opportunities where you you can get the magazine. You also
5:02
Speaker 2: can purchase a magazine from one of the writers if
5:06
Speaker 2: you like to support the writers. We're able to purchase
5:10
Speaker 2: the magazines at cost and sell them for what they retell.
5:18
Speaker 2: You can help a starving writer because we do not
5:23
Speaker 2: get paid for what we do. Over here. It's all
5:28
Speaker 2: putting out the magazine, getting the magazine out, and making
5:31
Speaker 2: sure that we're able to amplify voices and that we're
5:35
Speaker 2: able to allow these voices to be heard. And I'm
5:38
Speaker 2: just super excited. I thank God for even giving me
5:47
Speaker 2: charge over this and allowing me the opportunity to be
5:51
Speaker 2: the vessel to be used through this magazine and putting
5:54
Speaker 2: this magazine out and putting it in the hands of
5:57
Speaker 2: those that it need to be in. No, we may
5:59
Speaker 2: not be reaching a million people, we may not even
6:03
Speaker 2: be reaching a thousand people, but y'all, every time I
6:06
Speaker 2: can go over to the page and see you where
6:10
Speaker 2: people are ordering the magazine. Not just here in America, y'all,
6:14
Speaker 2: but they are ordering the magazine in the UK, They're
6:17
Speaker 2: ordering the magazines in the Netherlands and places, y'all. That
6:22
Speaker 2: I didn't even think people even watched or supported us,
6:25
Speaker 2: or even cared what we were saying. But y'all, you
6:29
Speaker 2: would be truly amazed at who is supporting you, who
6:34
Speaker 2: follow you, because a lot of times people don't comment,
6:38
Speaker 2: they don't share, they don't say anything, but they are
6:41
Speaker 2: there supporting, they are there cheering you on. So don't
6:44
Speaker 2: always look at the numbers when you're trying to figure
6:48
Speaker 2: out if people are following, if people are getting what
6:51
Speaker 2: you're saying, if people are really engaging. Know that when
6:58
Speaker 2: you start seeing your magazine, your books, your articles, and
7:02
Speaker 2: all these different places, know that people are listening, people
7:05
Speaker 2: are looking, people are watching because they couldn't be spreaded
7:09
Speaker 2: across these different platforms and be available in these different
7:14
Speaker 2: places if people wouldn't desire them and if people would
7:17
Speaker 2: requesting them. So y'all keep doing what you're doing. If
7:21
Speaker 2: you are a king, I'm putting a plea out for
7:24
Speaker 2: my men, for my black and brown men, y'all. I
7:30
Speaker 2: know all of us, all of you guys, are not fathers.
7:34
Speaker 2: So that's why I don't just celebrate Father's Day. For
7:37
Speaker 2: the last five years since we created the magazine, well
7:41
Speaker 2: for the last four years because the first year we
7:43
Speaker 2: did not. But for the last four years since the
7:46
Speaker 2: creation of the magazine, we have been taking the month
7:49
Speaker 2: of June and just truly honoring our kings. So if
7:54
Speaker 2: you're out there, if you get featured in the magazine,
7:57
Speaker 2: we're also going to feature you on our blog. I
8:00
Speaker 2: also want to I want to personally interview you because
8:03
Speaker 2: I want to tell your story. I want to share
8:05
Speaker 2: your story and be able to share your story around
8:08
Speaker 2: the various outlets that we use to push out our
8:13
Speaker 2: message and to get our message across. Don't think that
8:19
Speaker 2: this is just something light. You know, if you're doing
8:22
Speaker 2: something to impact, if you're doing something that is making
8:26
Speaker 2: a difference, like people need to know. People need to
8:29
Speaker 2: know your story, people need to know how you are surviving.
8:34
Speaker 2: I am so because society has really really disappointed me
8:40
Speaker 2: when it comes to our men, our kings. They have
8:46
Speaker 2: made our men feel as if we don't need them
8:51
Speaker 2: or we don't want them. Y'all. I'll be the first
8:54
Speaker 2: to tell you I love my Black kings and I
8:57
Speaker 2: would not trade them for the world. I love me
9:01
Speaker 2: a black man that is a leader that is leading
9:07
Speaker 2: by example and it's taking charge. You know, a lot
9:11
Speaker 2: of people, you know, they find it hard. They say
9:15
Speaker 2: women don't want to be submissive. Now, well, if you
9:19
Speaker 2: have a king that is leading, then you would want
9:24
Speaker 2: to be submissive, because who wants to be in charge
9:28
Speaker 2: all the time. I don't you know, I get us
9:32
Speaker 2: wanting to be independent and wanting to be on your
9:36
Speaker 2: own in some areas. But y'all, I need me a
9:40
Speaker 2: black king. I don't need I don't. I need me
9:44
Speaker 2: a black king too to be my support, because that's
9:48
Speaker 2: it's a man that finds a wife, finds a good thing.
9:52
Speaker 2: So I'm waiting for I'm waiting for my husband to
9:59
Speaker 2: come on and show me, show me that good thing,
10:03
Speaker 2: show me that I am his good thing, so that
10:05
Speaker 2: we can make this thing happen. So yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
10:10
Speaker 2: y'all port your king. If you have a man in
10:15
Speaker 2: your life and he is doing amazing things, and it
10:20
Speaker 2: may seem like it it's small, it may seem like
10:25
Speaker 2: it is nothing. But if he's doing something, y'all think
10:28
Speaker 2: about it. He's not in prison, he's not out in
10:31
Speaker 2: the streets, he's not in gangs, he's not on drugs,
10:34
Speaker 2: he's not doing If he's doing anything positive, we should
10:38
Speaker 2: be supporting him, We should be uplifting him, We should
10:41
Speaker 2: be encouraging him to keep going because your society truly
10:45
Speaker 2: have let our black men down. If you look at
10:48
Speaker 2: the disparity of the percentage of our black men that
10:54
Speaker 2: are behind prison walls versus other races, and you know,
11:00
Speaker 2: people don't want to talk about and don't want it
11:03
Speaker 2: to make it a race thing, but y'all just be honest.
11:07
Speaker 2: We just got to be honest with ourselves. And if
11:10
Speaker 2: we just look at what is happening and then we
11:14
Speaker 2: complain about the prison system, we complain about the prison system,
11:17
Speaker 2: they don't care. We gotta understand that if we don't
11:21
Speaker 2: stay on these people, we don't do what we have
11:23
Speaker 2: to do, they don't care. Because if we go back
11:27
Speaker 2: and we trace the history of why these people created
11:30
Speaker 2: these things, why these things are even in existence, then
11:34
Speaker 2: we would truly understand why they don't care. Prison system
11:40
Speaker 2: was truly set up to keep runaway slaves. That's what
11:48
Speaker 2: jails were for, to house runaway slaves. And this is
11:54
Speaker 2: what they continue to do. They continue to use the
11:58
Speaker 2: prison system as a form of slavery because you go there,
12:02
Speaker 2: you gotta work, you get no pay. They feed you
12:06
Speaker 2: when they want to feed you what they want to
12:08
Speaker 2: feed you, If they feed you how they want to
12:10
Speaker 2: feed you, what they want to feed you. I have
12:12
Speaker 2: an issue with that. I have an issue with you know. Yeah,
12:16
Speaker 2: we all make mistakes, and a lot of us that
12:19
Speaker 2: the truth be told, a lot of us we should
12:22
Speaker 2: be behind those prison walls. But by the grace of God,
12:26
Speaker 2: his grace and his mercy, we didn't have to end
12:28
Speaker 2: up behind those prison walls. But for that person that
12:33
Speaker 2: is there, they got caught. They they're doing their time.
12:37
Speaker 2: But if we look back over our life and be
12:40
Speaker 2: honest with ourselves, then we need to learn how to forgive,
12:47
Speaker 2: you know, and understand that everybody can make a mistake.
12:52
Speaker 2: And just because you're free today don't mean you'll be
12:54
Speaker 2: free tomorrow. And then not only that, the judicial system
13:01
Speaker 2: period is not set up for none of us. Yet
13:06
Speaker 2: we run from it when we should be the ones
13:10
Speaker 2: that are knocking down the doors to get in position
13:15
Speaker 2: so that we can begin to change some of this
13:17
Speaker 2: stuff that we're seeing happens. You know, we vote, We are,
13:22
Speaker 2: at least some of us say we vote, and we're
13:25
Speaker 2: active in our community. We're doing things in our community.
13:27
Speaker 2: But really, how are we trying to really make that change?
13:32
Speaker 2: And then we look to certain people that are doing
13:35
Speaker 2: things and then we want to lay it all on
13:38
Speaker 2: them when we have all been given a charge God,
13:42
Speaker 2: We've all been given a charge. We've all been given
13:44
Speaker 2: something a mandate over our life that we're supposed to
13:48
Speaker 2: be doing, that we're supposed to be impacting lives. You know,
13:52
Speaker 2: sometimes I find myself all over the place because God
13:55
Speaker 2: has given me so many things, and He just keep
13:57
Speaker 2: dropping things in my spirit for you know, reaching our people.
14:03
Speaker 2: Because I me personally, I can say I had great
14:09
Speaker 2: I had a great family. I had an amazing I
14:13
Speaker 2: say I had an amazing upbringing up until my mom passed.
14:21
Speaker 2: You know, after my mom passed, it was just like
14:24
Speaker 2: I was on my own. I had my sisters, I
14:27
Speaker 2: had my older sister, my older brothers, and I had
14:30
Speaker 2: my aunts. But I if I didn't get it, then
14:37
Speaker 2: I had to learn on my own. And I'm grateful
14:39
Speaker 2: that my mom shared a lot of things with me,
14:41
Speaker 2: because yeah, I could have been one of those people
14:45
Speaker 2: that ended up in the system, but I didn't end
14:48
Speaker 2: up in the system. I'm grateful for that. But for
14:51
Speaker 2: so many of us we end up in the system
14:55
Speaker 2: because we're in We end up in foster care, we
14:58
Speaker 2: end up in juvenile up in prison system. And once
15:02
Speaker 2: you become a product of one of these facilita, one
15:05
Speaker 2: of these systems, then it seemed like you just you
15:09
Speaker 2: go from one system to the other, one system to
15:10
Speaker 2: the other. You see a lot of people that come
15:13
Speaker 2: through the fossil system, they also end up in the
15:15
Speaker 2: prison system. And y'all, we as black and brown people,
15:20
Speaker 2: we got to look at these things. But we we
15:23
Speaker 2: got to take a hard look at really, what are
15:27
Speaker 2: we doing to make a difference or are we still
15:31
Speaker 2: depending on other people because a lot of us, we
15:35
Speaker 2: still have that slave mentality. A lot of us are
15:39
Speaker 2: still waiting for other people to do stuff for us
15:43
Speaker 2: and for other people to make a difference so that
15:46
Speaker 2: we can come out of what we're in. Y'all, that's
15:50
Speaker 2: not gonna happen, just like there's nothing new that is
15:53
Speaker 2: gonna fall from the sky. Like everything that has already
15:57
Speaker 2: been mapped out for you. Your your life has been
16:01
Speaker 2: mapped out, your destiny has been mapped out. It's up
16:03
Speaker 2: to you to make those choices. See, he give us
16:06
Speaker 2: free will, and when we begin to make these choices,
16:09
Speaker 2: and we begin to make these decisions in our life
16:12
Speaker 2: that that determines which route we go when it's time
16:16
Speaker 2: for us to walk in our destiny. See, if we
16:19
Speaker 2: listen to him, then we can stay on the straight
16:21
Speaker 2: and narrow. But then when we start having these these
16:25
Speaker 2: we wanna go with this friend, we want to go
16:27
Speaker 2: with this friend, We want to listen to this person,
16:29
Speaker 2: we want to listen to that person. Then we start
16:31
Speaker 2: free willing and we start going our own routes. And
16:35
Speaker 2: then we have to understand that we have to suffer
16:38
Speaker 2: those consequences. We have to go through those consequences. We
16:41
Speaker 2: have to deal with those things that is laid before us.
16:47
Speaker 2: And that is what's happened. You know, we look at
16:51
Speaker 2: in the eighties the government, because we all know the
16:55
Speaker 2: government is behind a lot of the stuff that is happening.
17:00
Speaker 2: But we know the government when we came out of slavery,
17:04
Speaker 2: they mainuly told us that we can provide you some housing,
17:09
Speaker 2: we can provide you this, we can provide this, we
17:11
Speaker 2: can provide that, we can provide that. But the butck
17:16
Speaker 2: came in when they said, oh, but you can't have
17:18
Speaker 2: no man. That immediately began to break down the family,
17:26
Speaker 2: so you can't have no man if you want these things.
17:30
Speaker 2: So then that's what began to pull the man out
17:32
Speaker 2: of the house because a lot of these coming out
17:35
Speaker 2: of slavery and coming out a lot of people didn't
17:38
Speaker 2: have resources. They didn't have the job skills, they didn't
17:41
Speaker 2: have the funds, they didn't have a lot of stuff,
17:44
Speaker 2: so they truly had to depend on the government. But
17:48
Speaker 2: now we understand, we want you know better, y'all, we
17:53
Speaker 2: can do better, and we're in a place now. But
17:57
Speaker 2: we listen to them because what did they tell us.
17:59
Speaker 2: They said, well, if you if you want to be
18:02
Speaker 2: like us, because it's if you want to be like us,
18:05
Speaker 2: because they think that they are the poor one race.
18:08
Speaker 2: If you want to be like us, get a job,
18:10
Speaker 2: go to school, get you a little white picket sents,
18:13
Speaker 2: a house with a little white picket sents, and have
18:17
Speaker 2: your two three children, and you have arrived. That is
18:20
Speaker 2: the American dream. No, so far from it, So far
18:25
Speaker 2: from it. Because you buy a house, you got to
18:27
Speaker 2: pay on it for the rest of your life, because
18:29
Speaker 2: you got to. If you don't pay them taxes, they
18:31
Speaker 2: gonna come get it. So it's not the American dream.
18:35
Speaker 2: It's a lot of things that they have portrayed and
18:38
Speaker 2: put out before us that is not the dream. That
18:42
Speaker 2: is not what life is. That is not what living is.
18:48
Speaker 2: So I want those generations that's coming after us, I
18:55
Speaker 2: want them to see, you know, because the Word said
18:58
Speaker 2: we should do greater works. How would these individuals know
19:02
Speaker 2: about the greater works if we don't leave the evidence
19:05
Speaker 2: of the things that God allowed us to do, the
19:08
Speaker 2: things that we were able to overcome, the oppostacles that
19:12
Speaker 2: we were able to step over. See, we got we
19:16
Speaker 2: gotta leave the evidence and we gotta be able to
19:19
Speaker 2: show people what we did. So we're doing that, y'all
19:25
Speaker 2: in the magazines. We have magazines, we have podcasts now,
19:29
Speaker 2: we have magazines, We got books, we have everything. We
19:33
Speaker 2: are an outlet for you to be able to share.
19:37
Speaker 2: So for all my kings, calling all my kings and
19:40
Speaker 2: all my queens that want to honor. If you have
19:43
Speaker 2: a king in your life that is doing amazing things
19:48
Speaker 2: and you feel like he deserves to be recognized, that
19:53
Speaker 2: somebody need to know who he is. We have men
19:57
Speaker 2: that have businesses, we have men that are authors, We
20:01
Speaker 2: have men that are are are doing great things is
20:04
Speaker 2: in the community. We have men that are leading in
20:09

20:17

Speaker 2: over here. But it's all it's all for our good
22:48
Speaker 2: and all to still bring God glory because in everything
22:52
Speaker 2: I do, I acknowledge Him and I have to reference
22:56
Speaker 2: him because if it was not for him, y'all, none
22:59
Speaker 2: of the stuff that I do would be possible because
23:01
Speaker 2: I'm telling you who am I, and Lord knows the
23:05
Speaker 2: journey I've had. I tell you, if he will take
23:09
Speaker 2: a ranch like me and allow me to do some
23:12
Speaker 2: of the things that I do. I tell you, if
23:16
Speaker 2: you don't keep moving, you don't keep walking in your destiny.
23:21
Speaker 2: I'm telling you you'll catch up to it soon if
23:23
Speaker 2: you keep going. Don't quit. I don't care what it
23:26
Speaker 2: looked like. I don't care what it feels like. Don't quit,
23:29
