  Speaker 2: I understand that you are incarcerated, and I know that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: even on the outside, trying to become an author can
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: be hard. It could be trials and tribulations and challenges.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: So being incarcerated, what has this journey been like? For you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: First off, have you published any work yet or are
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you still working on your book?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Well, man, I have a little short story, but that
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: right now, you know what I'm saying. But I just
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: right now I'm working on a book that's the five
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: of the product of my environment, because you know, you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and I think that the millions of Americans in the
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: United States, that a lot of us from the low
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: you know, company homes in middle class. You know, we
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: all come from an environment that you know, I can
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: say that, you know, has a lot of all these
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: individuals to you know, become products of an environment that
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: has led to drugs, use of alcohol, use, prostitution, crimes
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and all these things. Man, still you know, coming from
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: that environment. Man, you know, I feel that I have
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: a testimony. I would love to tell my stories about
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: my life history because my life history, you go a
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: lot of people here in the United States.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people, and I was hesitant.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I was one of those people that thought that who
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: wants to hear what I have to say? Have that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: crossed your mind? Especially being someone that is incarcerated, you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: oftentimes people don't want to hear from people on the street.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So let alone from someone being incarcerated. So I want
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to I want to share these hard questions, these questions
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that people may not want to ask. And these are
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: some things that sometimes happen to people, and people don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: like to talk about it, you know, when things happen
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: sometimes we like to brush it under the world. So
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: what made you stand up and say, Okay, I have something.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe I made a mistake, but I have something that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I think somebody want to hear.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, man, good question.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I was, you know, I was sitting back and I
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: was thinking over my life, and I was asking myself
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: for why have I ended up in prison so many
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: times before now? And why is it that millions and
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: millions of kids to following the same path that they're
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: battling before them following? So, you know, being dread like this,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: you know, he has has allowed me the opportunity to
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: sit down and subbind myself, to be patient with myself
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: in order to understand my whole life Johnny and all,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: and then to be able to put it down on
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: paper and order for somebody to see it and read
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: it instead. This, sir, you know it's him, because I'm
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: quite sure that you know this is them a topic
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: in line in my class about you know, alcohol, you drugs.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: You you know, while I commit the crime, why am
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I in prison? Well this is for a lot of people, man,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: you know coming up in the exercizes today. You know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: look at our systems. We got gang bothers now, you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: out of all time time, we got our prison systems
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: busting out the scenes. You know, we got people committed
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: suicide on and all that. All these types of drugs,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: you know, different types of drugs you can't eat from else.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: So people we want them is just because of being
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: a product of an environment. Because you know, when somebody
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: spoke before and said it said, our communities can do
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: better by our kids, but our government has taken away
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: all these communities. You know what I'm saying, programs, and
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: you know, and and now with that ding saved, a
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: lot of these kids are falling into that same even
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: program being a product of an environment that lives the prisons. Man.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: So you know my story, I feel that I have
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: a powerful story enough to be able to have somebody
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: that can relation to the stories and to change because
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I've changed my life now, you know, being a being
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: an author, now it makes me feel good about my
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: steps to know that I can consult there that can
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: help somebody else not come to prison or not use drugs. Man, So.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: How have you began to utilize those times? I know
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: you said you have a short storybook out and you
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: said you were working on your actual biography. So what
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: are you doing two to get this to go? And
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: what what what have you I guess put in in
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: in the works so far?
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, Man, I'm collaborating with some powerful people. You know
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: that the platforms that I have been been a part of,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: you know, over the last two years, in spite of
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: other magazine, promo, news, magazine, you know, count culture, these
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: types of programs that I'm to learn more about myself man,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you know, in order to be able to express myself,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: to sell my story of actively so yes, to help
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: people understand where I'm at, how to get them matter.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: So outside of a biography, because I know oftentimes we
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: want to tell our story, how do you feel that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: your story could branch out into other things? I know
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: often for me and I'm just gonna speak for me.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: When I first started writing and first started doing the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: things that I were doing, I wanted to know what
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: else could I do besides write books? What what else
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: could I do to get my story truly out there
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: and to truly help people, because not all the time
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: people want to pick up a book and read a book.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Not all the time people wanted to you know, even
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: listen to the podcast. So I was trying to figure out,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: you know, different things that you know, we can incorporate.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: So as an ourth there because are you an author?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Are you a writer? Because I guess I need to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: ask that question too, because because we write books does
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: not often means that we're an author or we're a writer.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So which do you classify yourself as an author or
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a writer?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Well, now you know that's a good question. You know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I really do classify myself as both. Why Because I
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: love to write and my ideas are very powerful, so
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: saying my stories are very authentic, So write my story
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: or write any story. You know. I deal with the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: criminal justice sistem. I deal with helping other other individuals
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: tell about themselves, and you know, I think they may
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: take a lot. You know, people like like for what
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I do. So you know I really classified I set
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: up as an individual who can do both. Man, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: would love to ta you know a power and shign
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: author man. But my writing tales are very unique man
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: to whether when I tell my story it's authentic. Man,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I tell the powerful story and I won't have a
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: bee in my story. And that's what I hope people
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: take from my story, the authentication real us and my
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: story that they can resonate from and to see that
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: you know, they can change, they can get some help
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: out of my storviet.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: So what are three takeaways that if someone was to
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: pick up your book? What would you want them to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: take away from your books?
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Okay? One, I would love them to take the fact
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: that you know out like that change, change is awful,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Change is often changers, man. And then we have to
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: set bounties within ourselves and order for us to be
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: able to understand our life, our journey, where we are
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: and where we're going and how to get them. So
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Number one, I would love them to take away the
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: fact that you know, change is very needed in a
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: lot of our lives and that we have to keep
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: God first in order to be able to make change,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: because we need a power, a power power how honimals
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: in order to do the things that we need to do. Man.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Number two, I would love for people to know that
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: you know that our voices are powerful and that we
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: have a voice and we have to stand up and
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: speak out in order to get be able to help
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: kids out there in the world and to help people,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, to understand that they can
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: do better with themselves. That's really number one. I mean
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: number two because the fact that you know a lot
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: of people out there in the world are struggling. Man,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: kids are going to film that young agents commit clim
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the young agent I would like to be in that
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: community in order to be to create program, to affect
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: the program in order for these kids to use the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: studentize in order to help them change and not compliance.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: And number three, I would love for people to take
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: away the fact that I am a powerful voice as
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: far as any vision will will come from an experience,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: come from a lifestyle that you know, your name it
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: out there there, so you know with that then said,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I know that a lot of people can feal the
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: reality of who I am as a post and that's
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: what I would love it to take away from that
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to the reality of the fact that I could tell
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: my story and I could be unique about selling the story. Man, So.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: As an incarcerated individual in writing this, how long have
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you been in the process of writing this particular book.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Well, man, that's a good question. Recently, you know, I've
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: been thinking about it and I said, you know, I
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: need to as a matter of fact, in the class
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and give you're a curriculum and it asks you to
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: give you twelve portions and asks you to write an
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: auto biography about you, you know, your life. So when
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I started it out, I started out with the fact
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: that my name is boy Coma and it's called who
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: am I? My name is the boy coming. I never
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: knew that I never had a name until I was
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: sixteen below And when I realized that I didn't have
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: a name, I come to find out that I have
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: a story to tell because the fact that I didn't
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: have a name. And when I learned that I didn't
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: have a name, I had to figure out how do
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I get a name? And when I got the name,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I have to learn the fact that do for my
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: cufum that I had a story tale but the fact
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: that I didn't have a name. So this is one
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: of my auto bioue is all the fact where am I?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Where did I come from you know, how I get
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: where I'm at, Where am I going? And how am
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I getting there? Man?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: So you have a question. The question is who do
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: you hope to reach with your books?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Man, I hope to reach millions of you know, individuals
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: who are you know, strugg living in a life trying
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: to understand who they are.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: You know youngst us, you know kids just in school
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: that's using drugs. He's just in school, that's you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: that's not even into keisus out down the streets doing wrong,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: committing firms and thanks to this nature because they are
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: the ones who have to underst and that you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: committing crimes to do it, don and stuff it leads
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: to a path of destruction matter and that we needed
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: to understand that this is not good for us. So
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I would love to read anybody who's willing to pick
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: up my book and read it, and mostly those in
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the little good development of environments now and anyone that's
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: willing to read my bookment.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I definitely want to thank you for stopping by
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and sharing with us. I have two more questions. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: want to ask you why and how did you find
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: out about the one hundred Authors movement? And what made
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: you decide to join this movement? Well, actually three questions.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: This is a three part question. How did you find
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: out about the one hundred author movement? What made you
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: decide to join the movement?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: And how.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Challenging has it been to be a part of this
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: movement and be incarcerated? Have it been beneficial or have
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: it just been something that you've been a part of.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Have you have you benefited from being a part of
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: this movement?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, the number one question I would like to answer
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: to that is that I have been a part of
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the Cool podcast for two years. Man, it was something
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: that God knocked in my life to be a part
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: of the Cool podcast. By an accident and becoming a
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: part of the Cool podcast, I realize the power of
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the Poo podcast. And missus Angela so much sleep. She
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: has taught me a lot. She taught me how be
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: able to not fear, seeking, not fear having, of course,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: not fear, you know, coming out of your shell. She
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: told me how to have courage, to be able to speak,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: to tell my story, and not just to tell my story,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: but to stand up and be a boy for thousands
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: and millions of people around the world. Man, so with
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: the Cool Podcast, I have also tapped them to uh,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: let's talk about the radio show with my co host
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Business and at Jobson. She's a very insigned individual who
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: has assigned me to be able to come on to
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: do the same that I do and talk about the
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: names I talk about them, which insurprids me the author
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to you know, be a part of the proof body asks.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm very thankful for everything that I've learned from
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: missus and Thomas Smith, which is yourself. You're talking to
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: me a lot, and I appreciate y'all. Thank you very much.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Tag a thing that I've learned from you feel powerful
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: and I will always be a part of the Cool
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Podcast and a spinal Auso magazine.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: So there's another question. There's another question for you. I
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: want to get the audience questions and then we can
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: go back to my question. So there's another question. Once
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you are released, are you planning to do a book tour?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, Sam, I would have loved to. I would have
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: loved nothing more than to do a book to a
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: man I would look at. That's something I'm very excited
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: about and something I look forward to doing. Man, because listen,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: you know I've never realized how important it is to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: write a book and how important short stories are, Paul,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: So I haven't realized that growing up. And if you write,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of people don't even you know, read, But
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: for those that do, Paul short stories write books, that's
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: some very unique stuff. And I'm glad. I thank God
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: that he put me in the path of Missusanels Thomas Smith, because,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: like I said, you have taught me a lot, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: you gave me a vision, you gave me something to
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: something that I loved doing. And yes, ma'am, I would
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: be a person who would love to be a part
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: of an event to be able to do a book to.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Him, man, awesome, awesome. So back to the questions. So,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I think the second part to that question was being
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: a part of the one hundred author's movement. How challenging
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: has that been being incarcerated and being able to interact
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: with the other authors and being a part of the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: challenges and being able to participate. How has that been
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: for you? And it has it been beneficial for you
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: being a part of the one hundred authors movement?
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, ma'am, it has been very challenging. Math based
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: upon the circumstances of the fact that I'm incarcerated, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: being inculturate, I have access to a lot of information
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: in here, okay, information that can be utilized in order
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: to help me to be able to create my story,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to create writing books, short stories and stuff like this. So, ma'am,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I have been very very much you know, uh excited
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: about the individuals that I'm connected with, and you know,
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: through the Coup podcast, I have been allowed to collaborate
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: with other authors and podcast hosts and who are part
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: of the podcast or sign author's magazine, and with that
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: it's been a challenge for them. But I just have
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: to stay, stay part of the home and keep doing it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I can't make no excuses because we won't stop. I
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: can't make no excuses. I don't have any. So, yes, ma'am,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: it's been it's been very exciting. Man.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Well, definitely. I thank you for sharing. I thank you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: for allowing your voice to speak through the form of books.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I tell you, I did never I did not think
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: that I would be an author. Let it Alane, the author,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: co author, publisher, you name it whatever. Of over one
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty pieces of literary I think it's one
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five to be that literary pieces, books, anthologies, journals, planners,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: you name it, calendars, magazines. I never thought that this
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: would be me. So to that person, that child, that
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: adult that's out there that is struggling with you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: their next move? What what are they're supposed to be doing?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: They may not know what their purpose is? So what
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: can you share with them that would encourage them to
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: stay on this journey, to seek their purpose, to align
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: with that that they're called to, Whether it's writing books, poems,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: telling short stories, being a part of collaborations, being a
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: part of magazines, being a part of podcast, whatever it is,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: to allow them to share their story. Well, what is
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: something that you can encourage them from someone that has
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: overcome a lot and it's still overcoming the challenges and
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: has not allowed anything to stand in your in your way?
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: You you have been one of those people where there's
