12:26
Speaker 1: fought for the role, like crazy, auditioned nine times, you know,
12:30
Speaker 1: he took me to South Central, opened up the car
12:33
Speaker 1: door and said, if you survive, you got the role.
12:35
Speaker 1: And I was like walking around had to be in character.
12:41
Speaker 1: Central was that experience. Man. So I'll get to John
12:45
Speaker 1: Singleton's office and I think I'm gonna read the I'm
12:48
Speaker 1: gonna audition, right, It's like like audition number eight or
12:51
Speaker 1: something like that. And then he's like, yeah, no, we're
12:53
Speaker 1: not gonna read anything. We're just gonna take a walk
12:56
Speaker 1: someone walking around and he's like, don't break character. And
13:00
Speaker 1: he's introducing me to people, and you know, Singleton was
13:03
Speaker 1: like god in his community. Like people will be like yo, John,
13:07
Speaker 1: you know, and then they'd come up to me talking
13:09
Speaker 1: to me and like Yo, what's up, little homie. I'm like, yeah,
13:12
Speaker 1: what's up? So I'm just pretending like that I'm from there. Um.

Speaker 1: And then his mom came and you know, I'm British.
13:19
Speaker 1: So I'm saying a bunch of British stuff in an
13:22
Speaker 1: American accent. But he didn't know you were British, right,

Speaker 1: unless the person has kids with the other person, or
22:51
Speaker 1: unless they got some type of very lucrative business together.
22:53
Speaker 1: There's no reason for you to be talking to your
22:55
Speaker 1: ex every day if at all, I want you. Hello,
22:59
Speaker 1: who's this this? She came up from Brooklyn? Now she camera?

23:13
Speaker 1: Word is Bob, That's what I'm talking about. Ain't nothing
23:17
Speaker 1: to talk about every day? Okay, every day nothing nothing
23:21
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong. There is a lot
23:22
Speaker 1: to talk about every day. But she shouldn't be talking
23:24
Speaker 1: about with him, No her, not at all. Hello, who's

Speaker 1: hit me ex was like alm up three years ago
23:35
Speaker 1: and we talked about every day. Still trumpa together, try
23:39
Speaker 1: to move on. But it made the hardest move on.
23:41
Speaker 1: But I talked too much to the point where he
23:43
Speaker 1: can move back if he got it back together, and
23:46
Speaker 1: like last week, see now you're back. And that's that's exactly.
23:49
Speaker 1: That's exactly what talking to your ex every day does.
23:52
Speaker 1: It's like having a pilot light on. Eventually it's gonna
23:54
Speaker 1: catch flame. Somebody gonna turn the damn heat on. I
23:57
Speaker 1: think I said that right, somebody gonna turn the damn
23:59
Speaker 1: fireplace on. Okay, because that pilot light was lit, I
24:02
Speaker 1: thought you're talking stove, But yeah, I get what the
24:03
Speaker 1: same thing. Somebody gonna turn the stove on. Something with
24:05
Speaker 1: some fire gonna happens. What I'm trying to tell you? Hello,
24:08
Speaker 1: who's this? Marcus from Columbia, South of Carolina eight o
24:12
Speaker 1: three metro. What's happening now, Marcus? What's going on with you?
24:15
Speaker 1: You and your wife both? Um? So, my wife got
24:19
Speaker 1: a baby daddy at her and she um she's a
24:24
Speaker 1: nice lady, so she, you know, tends to try to
24:27
Speaker 1: be communicated with him because of before when I came along,
24:31
Speaker 1: he wouldn't talk to her. So I allow it to happen.
24:34
Speaker 1: I say, all right, you know, maybe y'all can bring
24:36
Speaker 1: some communication for a kid. But now I became a problem. Yeah,
24:40
Speaker 1: he's calling every day. Uh it ain't bout the kids,
24:44
Speaker 1: and you seether he's trying to get to advice from
24:47
Speaker 1: her or he's just trying to hold a little small talking.
24:50
Speaker 1: He's trying to get some advice in some ass. That's
24:55
Speaker 1: the truth though, Dad, But you know, and yeah, it's
24:59
Speaker 1: only as you. I'm like, hey, I'm doing his own issues.
25:02
Speaker 1: And when he decided to do he want to deal
25:04
Speaker 1: with kids, he can communicate, but as of now that
25:07
Speaker 1: got stopped. So they got hold on they have kids together.
25:12
Speaker 1: Is he in the kid's life? No not. He's in
25:16
Speaker 1: the kid's life only when someone uh pushes them all
25:20
Speaker 1: like you don't call and say hey, I wanted to
25:24
Speaker 1: He just to the mom or her was the head.
25:28
Speaker 1: The kids want to see you or they've been asking
25:30
Speaker 1: him about you. Then he'd say, well, okay, you can
25:32
Speaker 1: bring him by. I think that in a situation like
25:35
Speaker 1: this is still tricky only because that is the baby daddy,
25:40
Speaker 1: and you know, you still you know how important it
25:42
Speaker 1: is for a father to be in a child's life.
25:43
Speaker 1: So she might still be holding out hope that he
25:46
Speaker 1: gets his stuff together so he can be in his
25:48
Speaker 1: child's life. Yeah, she know, she says that, but I
25:51
Speaker 1: keep telling how I said, if it took you to
25:54
Speaker 1: leave him, that should have been a wake up call.
25:57
Speaker 1: That's even all through these years, like keeping his older daughter,
26:01
Speaker 1: You don't, Peter don't have no He talks to her,
26:04
Speaker 1: but they don't have a father daughter communicating like a
26:08
Speaker 1: father and his daughter ship. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you.
26:12
Speaker 1: Let's cut him off? Are you stupid? Rock? Tell us
26:15
Speaker 1: you got a block? So what's the ball of the story.
26:18
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a more. Everybody got to
26:19
Speaker 1: do what works for them. But I'm just telling you
26:21
Speaker 1: what it works for me. That don't work for me.
26:22
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Unless you got a business
26:24
Speaker 1: or you got kids together, there's no reason for you
26:26
Speaker 1: to be talking to your ex every day. What you
26:27
Speaker 1: got the pilot light on for? You? Don't even use
26:29
Speaker 1: that fire place number, that five place don't work. You
26:32
Speaker 1: got a new stove electric Will you will with you
26:35
Speaker 1: this club? Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's a five one,
26:43
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same morning.
26:48

26:57
Speaker 1: Well say later you so much. Good morning. How are
27:02
Speaker 1: you today? You know what, I'm pretty good, I'm well rested,
27:06
Speaker 1: I feel alive. There you go, okay, okay, Well, thank
27:09
Speaker 1: you for taking time to come and sit with us.
27:10
Speaker 1: It's just so exciting show on the schedule of Viola
27:14
Speaker 1: Davis Finding Me. Yes, man, man, this book is such
27:18
Speaker 1: a beautiful exploration of your your inner child. Like when
27:21
Speaker 1: you started the journey of writing this book, did you
27:23
Speaker 1: know you would go on that journey with your inner
27:25
Speaker 1: child as well? Yeah. That was the whole point that
27:28
Speaker 1: I needed to find that inner child, and my inner
27:32
Speaker 1: child was one that needed both healing and needed to
27:36
Speaker 1: be celebrated. She was a survivor as well as someone
27:40
Speaker 1: who you know, held a lot of trauma. But I
27:43
Speaker 1: felt like I had to explore it because we were
27:45
Speaker 1: at that period of time. I wrote it during the pandemic,
27:48
Speaker 1: you know, the George Floyd of it all, the Almand Aubrey,
27:51
Speaker 1: Brionna Taylor of it all, everything dealing with the COVID,
27:55
Speaker 1: with the election. I felt like I was having a
27:57
Speaker 1: crisis of meaning and it was my way of pressing
28:02
Speaker 1: the reset button, just to understand, man, Viola, what are
28:08
Speaker 1: you supposed to do from here on out? It just
28:10
Speaker 1: was a big wake up call personally and you know, culturally.
28:15
Speaker 1: So that's why I wrote the book. I had to
28:18
Speaker 1: go back to the beginning of me. When you start
28:20
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, or this was something you were doing
28:22
Speaker 1: beforehand and you were just so many projects. He was like,
28:24
Speaker 1: I'll get to it though this was pandemic, this is
28:27
Speaker 1: what I want to do. Well. I didn't want to
28:31
Speaker 1: do nothing during the pandemic, but I did start during
28:34
Speaker 1: the pandemic. I had just finished How to Get Away
28:37
Speaker 1: with Murder. I literally just ended it that March, and
28:41
Speaker 1: then I started writing the book. It was something to
28:44
Speaker 1: do because otherwise I was going stir crazy. I wasn't
28:48
Speaker 1: the person who settled into the pandemic. I felt everything
28:52
Speaker 1: that was going on around me, and I felt the
28:55
Speaker 1: chaos of it and I internalized it. So this book
29:00
Speaker 1: was great therapy. So when God made you sit still
29:03
Speaker 1: in you know, during the pandemic, what did you see
29:05
Speaker 1: about yourself that you hadn't saw in a while. I
29:08
Speaker 1: saw a lot of things. I saw Viola as a survivor.
29:13
Speaker 1: I saw, you know, I keep telling this story ad nauseum.
29:17
Speaker 1: I know I've told it a lot, but I've always said,
29:22
Speaker 1: you got to leave a legacy, right, So I said,
29:24
Speaker 1: you know, it's life. It's like a relay race. It's
29:27
Speaker 1: what you do with your dash of time. And what
29:30
Speaker 1: great runner you pass that baton, you know, off to
29:33
Speaker 1: You pass it on to the next generation. They pass
29:36
Speaker 1: it on to the person you know who's after them
29:39
Speaker 1: and after them. And I realized during the writing of
29:42
Speaker 1: the book, is those great runners are you at a
29:45
Speaker 1: different age? The six year old who survives it then,
29:50
Speaker 1: you know, may survive it really messy, may have been inappropriate,
29:54
Speaker 1: but she ran her leg of the race and pass
29:57
Speaker 1: a baton onto the fourteen year old Viola who said,
30:00
Speaker 1: want to be an actor In the midst of all
30:02
Speaker 1: the poverty, the abuse, the bed wedding, the sexual all
30:06
Speaker 1: of that, she wanted to be an actor. She saw
30:09
Speaker 1: a way out, and fourteen year old pass it onto
30:12
Speaker 1: the twenty eight year old who said, you know what,
30:14
Speaker 1: I need therapy because I want healthy relationships in my life.
30:18
Speaker 1: I want to be happier and I don't know how
30:20
Speaker 1: to do that. And she passed it on to the
30:22
Speaker 1: thirty four year old Viola, who got married to the
30:25
Speaker 1: fort forty five year old Viola who then became a mom.
30:29
Speaker 1: And then now I'm fifty six and I have the
30:31
Speaker 1: baton in my hand, and now what you know, what
30:35
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do with this part of my life?
30:39
Speaker 1: Because I would say, at fifty six, you're a little
30:42
Speaker 1: bit past midlife. So that's what I learned. It's like
30:48
Speaker 1: it's a constant reassessment of where do you want to be,
30:53
Speaker 1: what do your life? What do you want your life
30:54
Speaker 1: to sort of look like? And I keep coming back
30:58
Speaker 1: to this because I know I know that, I know that,
31:01
Speaker 1: I know that the number one regret of the dying
31:06
Speaker 1: is they didn't take risks, they didn't become their ideal self.
31:11
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to think that I wasn't brave,
31:14
Speaker 1: And I think that sometimes people hold off braveness and
31:18
Speaker 1: courage because they don't want to risk failure and they
31:22
Speaker 1: don't want to risk shame. And I think you got
31:25
Speaker 1: to risk it. And that's been my biggest discovery in
31:29
Speaker 1: writing the book. You're say in the book that memories
31:31
Speaker 1: are powerful, right, some people like to beget memories because
31:35
Speaker 1: it's so painful, it's so hurtful. But it seems like
31:38
Speaker 1: you use it as inspiration to push yourself hard. Why
31:41
Speaker 1: is that. I think the pain the trauma is equal
31:47
Speaker 1: to the joy and the peace in your life. I
31:49
Speaker 1: think that they're one and the same. I don't think
31:53
Speaker 1: that the pain and the trauma and the hard times
31:56
Speaker 1: are a detour from life. I think it's a part
31:58
Speaker 1: of life. And I think that when you refuse to
32:02
Speaker 1: lean in to all of it is you refuse to
32:05
Speaker 1: become connected to yourself. And that's why no one can
32:10
Speaker 1: connect with anyone else because the only time we want
32:13
Speaker 1: to meet is with great stories of overcoming and winning.
32:17
Speaker 1: And then when someone feels like they are not overcoming
32:19
Speaker 1: and they're not winning and they're not waking up happy
32:22
Speaker 1: every day, then they feel like they need to hide
32:24
Speaker 1: in the closet, not come out, not open their mouths
32:27
Speaker 1: not saying anything. There's no one to share with, there's
32:30
Speaker 1: no sacred space to be you. I count it all joy.
32:35
Speaker 1: Now when I say I count it all joy, it
32:39
Speaker 1: takes some time sometimes account it all joy. But I
32:43
Speaker 1: do believe that it's all a part of life. I've
32:46
Speaker 1: been in too many spaces where I haven't been able
32:48
Speaker 1: to connect with people. You just never know what people
32:51
Speaker 1: have gone through to get to where they are today,
32:53
Speaker 1: which is why memoir like this, where you were so
32:56
Speaker 1: open and honest about everything, it really helped us to
32:59
Speaker 1: see like where you come from when you're acting. And
33:02
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about your relationship with your
33:04
Speaker 1: parents because in this book you talk a lot about
33:08
Speaker 1: things that happened to you when you were a child.
33:11
Speaker 1: What did you realize while writing this book about like
33:13
Speaker 1: your father and about your mother. I realized they did
33:17
Speaker 1: the best they could with what they had. That's what
33:20
Speaker 1: I realized. Because it's so hard to forgive your dad.
33:22
Speaker 1: I know, you know you talk about how abusive he
33:26
Speaker 1: was to your mother and things that you had to witness,
33:28
Speaker 1: So was it hard for you to even forgive that. Yeah,
33:33
Speaker 1: forgiveness is to me. I feel like forgiveness and faith
33:38
Speaker 1: are equal in terms of they're the hardest things to achieve.
33:44
Speaker 1: It they're so abstract. So it comes down to choice.
33:49
Speaker 1: I forgive for myself. I forgive because I don't want
33:52
Speaker 1: to carry that weight, the weight, the vengefulness of regret
33:56
Speaker 1: and all of that. For me, it blocks everything from
34:00
Speaker 1: coming into your life. And I don't think that anyone
34:04
Speaker 1: wants to see a sixty year old or here is
34:06
Speaker 1: sixty year old sitting in front of their therapists saying, I,
34:11
Speaker 1: you know, haven't been able to make my marriage work
34:14
Speaker 1: or this work in my life because what my dad
34:16
Speaker 1: did when I was five. At some point your life
34:19
Speaker 1: becomes yours as well. That you said that, because my
34:24
Speaker 1: wife was up here the other day and she was like,
34:25
Speaker 1: you know, when she forgave, she be gave for herself.
34:27
Speaker 1: And I didn't understand it at first because most people
34:30
Speaker 1: think when you forgive, your forgiving the person that hurts you.
34:34
Speaker 1: But it's actually to not to take away that pain
34:37
Speaker 1: from yourself so you don't have to deal with it anymore.
34:39
Speaker 1: That is that what you're saying when you say I
34:40
Speaker 1: forgive for myself, Well, yeah, that's part of it. I
34:43
Speaker 1: do believe it's a sort of prison. And not to
34:47
Speaker 1: get too philosophical, of course, but I believe that when
34:51
Speaker 1: you get to the end of your life, you're not
34:53
Speaker 1: thinking about all the people that you hated and all
34:56
Speaker 1: the people that did you wrong. I don't think that
34:59
Speaker 1: you're thinking about that when you're taking your last breath.
35:01
Speaker 1: I just don't. I think all of that goes away,
35:04
Speaker 1: and I think everything comes into sharp focus, which is
35:09
Speaker 1: probably making amends, probably being with the people that you love,
35:13
Speaker 1: probably sewing everything up, probably holding someone's hands. But I
35:18
Speaker 1: don't think that we're thinking about all of that. I
35:20
Speaker 1: think that once again, the only person you could say
35:24
Speaker 1: is yourself. That's the only thing that you could do.
35:27
Speaker 1: You can't keep backtracking as what wrong someone did to
35:31
Speaker 1: you or whatever. You got to figure out how to
35:34
Speaker 1: heal that. It's like, you don't you haven't met all
35:38
Speaker 1: the people who are going to love you in your
35:41
Speaker 1: life yet. And so when you meet all these people
35:44
Speaker 1: who are going to love you, they do not want
35:46
Speaker 1: to meet a vengeful person, okay, because they're going to
35:50
Speaker 1: get the overflow of that vengefulness. As a matter of fact,
35:54
Speaker 1: they're not going to get the overflow of that vengefulness.
35:57
Speaker 1: They're gonna get nothing. They're gonna go so far are
36:00
Speaker 1: with you and then it's gonna stop. I've been with
36:03
Speaker 1: those people they called emotionally unavailable. We have more with
36:08
Speaker 1: Viola Davis when we come back, don't move. It's the
36:10
Speaker 1: breakfast Club, Boilding. I love how you, you know, held
36:14
Speaker 1: your father accountable but also humanize them. Did you always
36:17
Speaker 1: see the humanity in him or was that something that
36:19
Speaker 1: happens as you got Oh do it, you know, with
36:21
Speaker 1: the more work you did on yourself. Absolutely, more work
36:24
Speaker 1: I did it on myself. The more I saw his humanity,
36:27
Speaker 1: the more I could connect the dots. You know. I
36:30
Speaker 1: thought life was like a Disney movie. People were just
36:34
Speaker 1: good or bad. That's it. The evil villain who just
36:37
Speaker 1: comes out just wants to destroy everyone. I didn't know
36:41
Speaker 1: that people acted because of specific memories once again, trauma
36:46
Speaker 1: in their lives. The people and we really demonize black people,
36:53
Speaker 1: you know, and the very way you wouldn't even be
36:54
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing if all those things hadn't happened
36:57
Speaker 1: to you as a child. Absolutely, because it was such
37:00
Speaker 1: an escape for you to be able to turn on
37:02
Speaker 1: the TV. You said it was Cicely Tyson right, that
37:04
Speaker 1: you saw that made you even say this is what
37:07
Speaker 1: I want to do. Absolutely that that woman and that
37:11
Speaker 1: performance was everything. I remember the moment I saw that
37:16
Speaker 1: performance because it was like magic. It was like it
37:20
Speaker 1: was a magician pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
37:23
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen the performance, she aged from eighteen
37:27
Speaker 1: to one hundred and ten, and you could not even
37:30
Speaker 1: believe it from the first frame of that it was
37:32
Speaker 1: a mini series. And literally the wind stopped blowing, the
37:38
Speaker 1: sun came out, and I saw a portal way out
37:42
Speaker 1: of the poverty, the trauma. I just felt like, if
37:48
Speaker 1: I could do that, I could make a life. I
37:50
Speaker 1: think sometimes you gotta see it, you know, And I
37:53
Speaker 1: know everybody just puts faith on people, especially on us,
37:57
Speaker 1: especially on black folk. Know that's all we had. And
38:01
Speaker 1: and but it's a lot. You know. You go up
38:03
Speaker 1: to young black kids who are coming from really challenging backgrounds,
38:08
Speaker 1: and people come up to them and say, you know,
38:09
Speaker 1: you could be what who and what you want to be.
38:13
Speaker 1: You just have to dream big. And then once you
38:15
Speaker 1: make it, you come back, You bring your family up,
38:17
Speaker 1: you bring your community up. And I'm sure if that
38:20
Speaker 1: kid had a language, he would say, how that's a
38:25
Speaker 1: lot you just throw and then you gotta work ten
38:28
Speaker 1: times as hard. You throw all of that on their lap,
38:31
Speaker 1: and then at fifteen, if they can't even get if
38:34
Speaker 1: if they can't achieve it at all, if they feel
38:37
Speaker 1: like they want to give up, then we just brate them.
38:40
Speaker 1: It's a lot that we put on them. So sometimes
38:43
Speaker 1: you gotta see it, you gotta hold it, you gotta
38:46
Speaker 1: somebody's gotta throw you a rope they do. Honestly, what
38:49
Speaker 1: was you talk about, sileague or what was some of
38:51
Speaker 1: your positive influences? Because you know, you talk about, you know,
38:55
Speaker 1: your parents and how you looked at your dad, and
38:57
Speaker 1: you talked about, you know, going to the white school
38:59
Speaker 1: and the white kids chase all the bricks, and you
39:01
Speaker 1: talk about all those things. So what positive influence did
39:04
Speaker 1: you have? What was your safe haven as a kid?
39:06
Speaker 1: If there wasn't there was no one safe haven for me.
39:10
Speaker 1: What life becomes about is how someone could take you
39:14
Speaker 1: from A to a plus, from a plus to D,
39:18
Speaker 1: from D to you know, to M to M. You know,
39:23
Speaker 1: there are people who can carry you at different points
39:27
Speaker 1: in your life. It could be a teacher, it could
39:29
Speaker 1: be a parent, it could be a relative, it could
39:33
Speaker 1: be a stranger that gives you one word. I had
39:36
Speaker 1: a lot of teachers, even the first teacher who looked
39:40
Speaker 1: at me and he was an acting coach, who looked
39:43
Speaker 1: at me and told me I was beautiful. That meant
39:46
Speaker 1: a lot to me. And the first person who just
39:50
Speaker 1: came into science class because he was a teacher and
39:53
Speaker 1: I called him in the middle of the day. He
39:54
Speaker 1: was an upward bound teacher and I said, I was
39:57
Speaker 1: having a panic attack. He came to the school. He
40:00
Speaker 1: interrupted science class. He said, I want to see Viola.
40:03
Speaker 1: The science teacher said you can't do that. He said,
40:05
Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, I'm gonna do it. Anybody, anybody who
40:10
Speaker 1: throws you a rope and sees you and likes you.
40:15
Speaker 1: There is something about someone looking at you and liking
40:17
Speaker 1: you right, and even saying your potential when you can't
40:20
Speaker 1: see it absolutely, because sometimes you tuck yourself out of
40:22
Speaker 1: things right because of fear. But then someone tells you,
40:26
Speaker 1: like your science teacher, listen, you need to apply for this.
40:29
Speaker 1: You can do it, And you tell yourself, I can't
40:30
Speaker 1: do it. Why would they take me, why would they
40:32
Speaker 1: accept me? But somebody else believing in you and giving
40:35
Speaker 1: you the tools like you can't make excuses anymore after
40:38
Speaker 1: a while. And you know what, very Seldoman, am I
40:41
Speaker 1: in a space And I know y'all can say the
40:44
Speaker 1: same thing, But am I in a space specially as
40:48
Speaker 1: a dark skinned black woman, and could speak my truth
40:51
Speaker 1: about what that means the isolation of that experience, Okay,
40:57
Speaker 1: because it comes at you, three old, It comes at
41:01
Speaker 1: you through yes, white America. It comes to you through
41:08
Speaker 1: the experience and the culture of America, and it comes
41:12
Speaker 1: to you through even black culture. I'm just gonna say it,
41:18
Speaker 1: because it's called colorism. It's its own different sect of racism,
41:22
Speaker 1: and it is destructive because what you tell women in
41:27
Speaker 1: general is that beauty is a value, which it's not. Listen,
41:33
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people. I think everybody's beautiful, and
41:36
Speaker 1: I really do. I don't talk about stuff like that.
41:41
Speaker 1: Oh yes, well the bull frogs. At a different level,
41:46
Speaker 1: there was some meaning women, But you consider it a value.
41:52
Speaker 1: And with someone who you feel has value, you pay
41:56
Speaker 1: attention to them, you pour into them. You think that
42:00
Speaker 1: they're smarter, more, valuable, more everything. So when you go
42:04
Speaker 1: up to little chocolate girls who are darker than a
42:06
Speaker 1: paper bag and you're constantly telling them they're not as cute,
42:12
Speaker 1: they have bad hair, they have this that you're putting
42:16
Speaker 1: negative connotations. And then you can now you can literally
42:20
Speaker 1: google people who seem to have had press conferences to
42:26
Speaker 1: talk about how unattractive they find darker skinned women. I mean,
42:31
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Even if you feel that way, why
42:34
Speaker 1: are you gonna spread that? How do you think people
42:37
Speaker 1: are gonna received that? And we know how difficult it
42:40
Speaker 1: is to get a leg up, you know in the
42:43
Speaker 1: black community, the lack of opportunity what we're running from,
42:47
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna put that on us and so
42:51
Speaker 1: and when you can't speak your truth in a room,
42:54
Speaker 1: then you feel like you have to hide yourself. It's
42:57
Speaker 1: very it's like physically painful. I want I want to
43:01
Speaker 1: ask you a couple more questions about your father, because
43:02
Speaker 1: I found that dynamic so interested. And you said something
43:05
Speaker 1: the book, and I paraphrasing, but you said your father
43:07
Speaker 1: was an abuser who became a good partner. Yeah, and
43:10
Speaker 1: this era canceled coaches. Some people couldn't even imagine that happening.
43:13
Speaker 1: Can you explain he did? And I think he always
43:18
Speaker 1: had it in him. I think he was wrestling you know.
43:21
Speaker 1: I always feel like it got two people that you
43:23
Speaker 1: wrestle with, right, and it's who you feed. And I
43:28
Speaker 1: think he fed the more violent aspects of himself. I
43:31
Speaker 1: think he was running from a lot. But in the
43:35
Speaker 1: last several decades, I think since I was probably in
43:38
Speaker 1: my twenties, he helped my mom raise a lot of
43:43
Speaker 1: my relatives children, and he loved my mother. He was
43:50
Speaker 1: always there rubbing her feet. And towards the end of
43:54
Speaker 1: his life, I mean, I say towards the end, the
43:56
Speaker 1: last couple of days of his life, my mom would
43:59
Speaker 1: always say every single day he woke up, even when
44:03
Speaker 1: he was suffering from dementia, towards the end, he would say,
44:06
Speaker 1: you know, may Alice, you know, I'm sorry about what
44:08
Speaker 1: I did to you. Wow, I'm sorry. I feel like
44:13
Speaker 1: that's everything. I mean, how many people do you know
44:17
Speaker 1: that even make amends, that even opened their mouths. And
44:21
Speaker 1: I think that that, um, I feel like that has
44:26
Speaker 1: to be acknowledged as an incredible character trait. All right, Well,
44:30
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Viola Davis. When we
44:32
Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Florida Morning.
44:37
Speaker 1: The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and
44:40
Speaker 1: all of Floridan. Yes, you are a donkey. The Florida
44:45
Speaker 1: man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It
44:48
Speaker 1: gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after
44:50
Speaker 1: definitely said he rigged the door to his home in
44:52
Speaker 1: an attempt to electricate his pregnant wife. Police arrested in
44:55
Speaker 1: Orlando man for talking a flimena to breakfast club bitchy
44:59
Speaker 1: donkey other day. I don't know why y'all keep letting
45:02
Speaker 1: him get y'all lected. It's not me, It's really not me.
45:06
Speaker 1: It's absolutely y'all donkey. Today from Monday, May sixteenth, goes
45:09
Speaker 1: to a young lady named Jania Douglas of Florida, and
45:13
Speaker 1: I went, did your uncle Charla always say about the
45:15
Speaker 1: great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come
45:18
Speaker 1: from the Bronx and all the Florida in today's no exception.
45:22
Speaker 1: I got a question for you. It's a simple one.
45:25
Speaker 1: What's on your bucket list? I don't have to explain
45:28
Speaker 1: to you what a bucket list is due it's simply
45:30
Speaker 1: a number of experiences, our achievements that a person hopes
45:33
Speaker 1: to have, Our accomplished during their lifetime. I don't think
45:35
Speaker 1: I've ever technically called things that I've accomplished bucket list items.
45:40
Speaker 1: I'm more of a vision board type of person. But
45:42
Speaker 1: we all have things we want to do in life. Okay,
45:44
Speaker 1: some can be career oriented, some can be personal, but
45:47
Speaker 1: we all simply have things we have historically wanted to do,
45:50
Speaker 1: and once we did, then we scratched them off that list.
45:53
Speaker 1: You know, we scratched them off our list. Angelie, what's
45:55
Speaker 1: been on? It's been something on your bucket list that
45:57
Speaker 1: you scratched off? What is something on my bucket list
46:02
Speaker 1: that I scratched off a long time ago? Buying a house? Okay, y,
46:06
Speaker 1: well something on your bucket listen, you scratched off traveling
46:09
Speaker 1: in South Africa, going to South Africa. See, those are
46:12
Speaker 1: real goals. Those are accomplishments that make sense. They're productive,
46:16
Speaker 1: they're positive. Okay, they give you something to work towards.
46:19
Speaker 1: But people's bucket lists vary for a lot of reasons.
46:22
Speaker 1: And I can almost guarantee that Jania's bucket list is different,
46:25
Speaker 1: okay than a lot of people's. All right. See, Jania
46:28
Speaker 1: was recently charged with fleeing and eluding authorities and failure
46:32
Speaker 1: to obey an order from a law enforcement officer when
46:35
Speaker 1: she refused to stop. Okay, on last Thursday morning in
46:38
Speaker 1: the Florida Keys, let me paint the picture for you.
46:40
Speaker 1: Jania was driving to Toyota today, all right. She was
46:44
Speaker 1: speeding and driving reckless near North Key Largo at about
46:47
Speaker 1: seven forty seven am. An officer turned on his lights
46:50
Speaker 1: and siren, but Jania did not stop them. Okay, she
46:53
Speaker 1: continued southbound until stopping at a three way intersection. That's
46:57
Speaker 1: as far as that Toyota sedan could go. Now what
47:00
Speaker 1: was she fleeing for? Did she have a warrant she
47:02
Speaker 1: knew about. Did she have a car full of drugs
47:04
Speaker 1: and guns but she under the influence of any narcotics
47:07
Speaker 1: or alcohol? Was there a dead white woman in the trunk? No?
47:10
Speaker 1: Her reasoning her motive was that she told the deputy
47:14
Speaker 1: that getting arrested had been on her bucket list since
47:18
Speaker 1: high school. I repeat, Jenia fled and eluded deputies and
47:23
Speaker 1: said she did it because getting arrested was on her
47:26
Speaker 1: bucket list since high school. Let me tell I think
47:29
Speaker 1: she's nineteen years old. If I'm not mistaken, let me
47:31
Speaker 1: be clear. Yeah, she's nineteen years old of Homestead, Florida. Listen, Yes,
47:41
Speaker 1: first thing, I want to know, Jania, what else is
47:44
Speaker 1: on your list? Okay, I know it's your personal bucket list,
47:48
Speaker 1: but you need to let somebody read over it to
47:49
Speaker 1: see what else is on there, because damn man, all right,
47:53
Speaker 1: Also need y'all to know something. Hey uncle, Okay, uncle's
47:57
Speaker 1: Charlotte is old, brother Lennard is old. I'm forty three.
48:01
Speaker 1: My body different, I'm breathing different. If you don't know
48:04
Speaker 1: what line that movie from, you ain't black. But I'm
48:06
Speaker 1: saying all that to say, I don't understand what's happening
48:08
Speaker 1: no more, man, I don't understand this generation. I have
48:10
Speaker 1: no clue on what is happening anymore. But I'm not
48:12
Speaker 1: going to generalize a whole generation. We live in a
48:15
Speaker 1: world where we have to rely on the most unpredictable
48:18
Speaker 1: thing on the planet to keep us all safe, and
48:21
Speaker 1: that's human behavior. The only thing that keeps us relatively
48:24
Speaker 1: safe on this planet is the actions of each other.
48:27
Speaker 1: And we are living on this third rock from the
48:29
Speaker 1: sun with people who want to scratch getting arrested off
48:34
Speaker 1: that bucket list. So between this and folks who just
48:37
Speaker 1: wake up wanting to commit mass shootings. We doomed. What
48:40
Speaker 1: you need? I want you to know something. You clearly
48:42
Speaker 1: can do anything you put your mind too. Now, other
48:46
Speaker 1: things you might set your mind to do, other things
48:48
Speaker 1: you might put on your bucket list, might be a
48:50
Speaker 1: little more difficult than getting arrested. But I believe in you,
48:53
Speaker 1: and I hope that this situation lets you realize that
48:56
Speaker 1: anything you put on your bucket list you can absolutely do.
48:59
Speaker 1: Any thing you set your mind to, you can absolutely do.
49:02
Speaker 1: You just need to make some adjustments to your little
49:05
Speaker 1: bucket list. Okay, once again, I'm sitting here trying to
49:09
Speaker 1: understand the logic of something that is illogical. But it's
49:11
Speaker 1: not illogical. It's just Florida. Please give Ja Neia Douglas
49:16
Speaker 1: the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, No, you are
49:19
Speaker 1: Dogee of the Day, the Dogee oh the day. H
49:38
Speaker 1: You want to play a game? No? I don't. Actually
49:40
Speaker 1: they don't want to play a game. Don't want to
49:42
Speaker 1: you know what? All right, I'm gonna use me you
49:44
Speaker 1: to play a game. Okay, let's play a game of
49:47
Speaker 1: guess what racing. Let's do it. Florida Woman nineteen years
49:53
Speaker 1: old dropping a Toyota today and accused the fling. A
49:55
Speaker 1: deputy says the restaurants on her bucket listens high school.
49:59
Speaker 1: Al get us what racis? But she's definitely not black

52:04
Speaker 1: This is Nicole, Hey, Nicole, what's your question for? Easy? Um? So,
52:08
Speaker 1: the situation is, um, I've been in a relationship for
52:11
Speaker 1: maybe like seventeen years. It just interns my relationship. He
52:16
Speaker 1: had like different sexual interests and um, I thought, I'm
52:20
Speaker 1: like the doctor doctor Natrix. I've been like control in
52:24
Speaker 1: the bedroom and he seemed like he was into it.
52:28
Speaker 1: I'd like to turn them out, but I don't really
52:31
Speaker 1: like when they're into it. So I've been noticing more
52:35
Speaker 1: and more aware they are, Um, he is like tooking
52:39
Speaker 1: his booty out or it's like hanging and I kind
52:44
Speaker 1: of not interested in it no more. So I want
52:47
Speaker 1: to know how do I bring up the conversation with
52:50
Speaker 1: him without hurting his feelings or damasculating him because so wait,
52:56
Speaker 1: let me So the problem is that you're a dominatrix, right,
53:00
Speaker 1: but he's enjoying it too much. I want to say, yeah,
53:04
Speaker 1: that's the problem. Okay, you want him, you want him
53:07
Speaker 1: to be like anymore? It's like, are you really now
53:10
Speaker 1: like interested in bad or you know? Okay, so in
53:15
Speaker 1: the beginning he wasn't enjoying it, No, he was. I
53:18
Speaker 1: liked what I said, I'd like to to turn him out,
53:20
Speaker 1: so he was like, have no, stay with from that area.
53:24
Speaker 1: What you think? This is kind of like okay, so
53:26
Speaker 1: you mean with you know, like putting something in his Yeah, okay,
53:30
Speaker 1: all right, Well, first of all, you said the goal
53:32
Speaker 1: is to turn someone out. It worked, yeah, did so
53:37
Speaker 1: now that you turn him out your board. But the
53:40
Speaker 1: thing is we are like partners, and I don't know
53:44
Speaker 1: if this is gonna mess up our actual relationship. But
53:48
Speaker 1: as a dominatrix, maybe you need to find something else
53:51
Speaker 1: to do to him next to turn him out on.
53:55
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, LEK, what other things do you do
53:57
Speaker 1: as a dominatrix in this relationship, because I guess the
54:00
Speaker 1: dynamic now is messed up? Right As a dominatrix, He's
54:03
Speaker 1: supposed to be like no, I don't want that, don't
54:06
Speaker 1: like that. He's resistant, but now he's like, yes, bring it,
54:09
Speaker 1: do it to me, peg me yes. And I noticed
54:16
Speaker 1: that before. I'm ready to actually take it. And I'm like,
54:22
Speaker 1: right now, this is now, this feels like something we
54:25
Speaker 1: both enjoy and it wasn't supposed to be like that.
54:27
Speaker 1: So are there are there are there things that you
54:29
Speaker 1: do to him and that situation, that relationship to h
54:33
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's something else you could do where
54:35
Speaker 1: you're stepping on him with the high heels, maybe a
54:38
Speaker 1: little light whipping anything like that. Yeah, we we do
54:41
Speaker 1: a little role play of you know, I don't want
54:45
Speaker 1: to say please or patient. We do like a little
54:49
Speaker 1: role plays, but like I said, it's just more of
54:53
Speaker 1: now like we regular doing regular sex. He's ready to
54:58
Speaker 1: to Susio Okay, what if he used a bigger deal? Though?
55:03
Speaker 1: Why we do this is so wrong? Why is it wrong? Men?
55:07
Speaker 1: Do not let women play in your butt unless they're
55:09
Speaker 1: willing to make a real commitment to you. Okay, yeah,
55:11
Speaker 1: I mean he gave you the button. Now all of
55:13
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's too far. This is bad. Okay, they're
55:17
Speaker 1: not married, right, Actually we are married. What he gave
55:22
Speaker 1: you his butt and now you're saying it's too much?
55:26
Speaker 1: You like it and you know that, but the problem
55:29
Speaker 1: is that you did turn him out and got him
55:31
Speaker 1: to like something that he was resistant to at first,
55:33
Speaker 1: and now you don't like it anymore. So I mean,
55:37
Speaker 1: what can you do? It works? Some suggestions? If not? Like,
55:43
Speaker 1: I'm really like, I'm in a hard place because I
55:46
Speaker 1: don't want to say to him I don't want to
55:49
Speaker 1: do it anymore. And like I said, I'm the one
55:51
Speaker 1: that started. Yeah, but who maybe you could do it.
55:56
Speaker 1: Maybe you could do the opposite now right and torture
55:59
Speaker 1: him by not doing it? Man, what you don't do
56:03
Speaker 1: to another man's but somebody else will. I mean, is
56:11
Speaker 1: it is it that you don't want to peg him
56:13
Speaker 1: anymore at all? What if he acted like, don't what
56:19
Speaker 1: if he acted like he doesn't like it? Now moving
56:21
Speaker 1: forward and you let him? Can I ask him to
56:24
Speaker 1: like with just a little bit more, Yeah, tell him like,
56:27
Speaker 1: tell him like, look, the dynamics of what this was
56:30
Speaker 1: is not what it is now, and this is what
56:32
Speaker 1: I need you to do for me to fail turned on,
56:35
Speaker 1: He might actually enjoy that too. That's not fair, mama.
56:38
Speaker 1: If he likes something and now all of a sudden,
56:40
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be a couple, you're supposed to enjoy
56:42
Speaker 1: each other, Well, she's not enjoying it for he is right,
56:45
Speaker 1: but he might enjoy also doing the role playing of
56:47
Speaker 1: acting like this is his first time doing it. He
56:50
Speaker 1: didn't want to do it in the first play why
56:52
Speaker 1: he broke down for her to do it, and now
56:54
Speaker 1: what he actually likes it? If he wants it, he
56:56
Speaker 1: might have to play along. You know why a lot
56:58
Speaker 1: of men don't like but play because they feel like
56:59
Speaker 1: it makes him feel like less of a man, right,
57:01
Speaker 1: It makes him feel like a sucker. Right. So so now, yeah,
57:05
Speaker 1: I've been vulnerable with you. You turn me out, and
57:08
Speaker 1: now you're telling me to stop back like a bitch.
57:10
Speaker 1: Well guess who turned me into one? I'm just saying, anyway,
57:15
Speaker 1: have you communicated any of this to him? Um, flight hint,
57:21
Speaker 1: but not very direct, saying oh, this is how I
57:24
Speaker 1: feel at this current moment. How can you make a change,
57:27
Speaker 1: but be direct? You're a dominatrix, Be direct, okay, and
57:31
Speaker 1: tell him, look, this ain't fun for me no more.
57:33
Speaker 1: Before it was a resistant situation. You ain't one it.
57:36
Speaker 1: Now you tuting it up that dang up daddy, make
57:39
Speaker 1: it roll like in a regular helpful situation, Like it
57:46
Speaker 1: seems like I have to take control of everything, and
57:49
Speaker 1: it's like, is that from the way our room acts?
57:55
Speaker 1: And now it's like I don't want to call him
57:57
Speaker 1: bitching out because that's I don't want to downplayed to
58:00
Speaker 1: be far from um a female dog, but like he's
58:04
Speaker 1: very now thought or he's not taking patrol as I
58:08
Speaker 1: think a man in the house. Okay, he might think
58:12
Speaker 1: this is what you want, and if you haven't communicated
58:14
Speaker 1: that you don't like it, he might think this is
58:17
Speaker 1: the dynamic that you wanted. Charlemagne did say something real true.
58:21
Speaker 1: What you don't do, somebody else will top guys, it's
58:23
Speaker 1: the truth. You turned them onto it. So he liked. Listen,
58:26
Speaker 1: you need to let him know that this is not
58:28
Speaker 1: working for you and this is not what your intention was,
58:30
Speaker 1: so he can take charge in certain situations. Again, this
58:33
Speaker 1: is why men don't open up. Our hearts are butts
58:35
Speaker 1: to people, because the situations like this. All right, but
58:39
Speaker 1: the main thing is that you're not telling him what
58:41
Speaker 1: it is that you need. You gotta let him much.
58:43
Speaker 1: She wanted it at first, and he didn't want to
58:45
Speaker 1: do it at first, and then he finally opened up
58:47
Speaker 1: and did it and turned out and you are doing
58:52
Speaker 1: that's all right, so listen, talk to him. Okay, you
58:56
Speaker 1: gotta work through this. You you begged the playing my butt.
59:00
Speaker 1: You're playing my butt now you look at me like
59:01
Speaker 1: I'm soft. Let's just keep that. This is crazy. This
59:05
Speaker 1: is this is crazy Tom. What's his number? We need
59:10
Speaker 1: to call here? No, stop it, this is Tom on
59:14
Speaker 1: the spot. Yeah, don't do it? All right, all right,
59:17
Speaker 1: this is toxically. We have no problem answering any question
59:22
Speaker 1: opened up for her. He finally he enjoys it now
59:25
Speaker 1: and now she's just gonna take it back. I'll say,
59:27
