  Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you for all that you do.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: A lot of us, when we look at legacy, we
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: think of it as something that we are leaving behind,
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: but not understanding that legacy is that that we are creating.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: Every day. People can grab.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Hope to our legacy while we're yet still on this side,

• 6:17
  Speaker 7: to help to keep that legacy going.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: So I'm excited.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: You definitely are creating a legacy with the amazing things
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: that you're doing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: I know I didn't give you any justice because I
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: know you have your hands in a lot.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: So I want you to share with those that are
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: tuned in and even those that are gonna hear this
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: as a replay exactly how you are creating legacy and
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: some of those things that you have your hands in.
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: I am the author of the Independence series The Anniversary,
• 6:51
  Speaker 10: and for nineteen years I was the client Rights Officer
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: for the Cay Hugger County Adams Board stands for Alcohol,
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: Drug and Mental Health Service Board, where I advocated and
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: representing people who had mental health and drug and alcohol issues.
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: And I am a license independent social worker and an attorney.
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: And what I wanted to do was to take my
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: education and my experience and I wanted to use that
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: to try to educate my community about mental health, in
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: particular in the African American community. So I wrote this
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: series about a family who lives in Cleveland. I got
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: my Cleveland shirt on, y'all. I see where I live
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: at what they go through because of family trauma, family secrets,
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: and it really is my love letter to my community
• 7:51
  Speaker 10: to try to, you know, get people to be more
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: aware and to educate themselves about mental health. Make sure
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: people understand that mental health doesn't have a race, it
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: doesn't have a socioeconomic status, it doesn't have a religion,
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: and it hits our community equally. But it's how we
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: respond to it, which is what I wanted to try
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: to impact.
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: And then.
• 8:17
  Speaker 10: I started to introduce a couple of other things that
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: are important to me, one of them being sickle cell disease.
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: I have a daughter who lives with sickle cell disease. Additionally,
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: my dad, he passed away when I was eight from
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: sickle cell disease, and I lost the uncle to aunts,
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: and I have a number of nieces and nephews who
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: are living with sickle cell disease, and I want people
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: to know about it. A lot of people don't know
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: about it. They don't know that there could be risks
• 8:49
  Speaker 10: if you don't understand your genetics. I didn't you know
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: my husband had something called heemoglobin C. I was aware
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: of sickle cell anemia, but I was not understanding that
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: if you have an abnormal hemoglobin and you put it
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: with my sickle cell trait you can get a disease
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: called heemoglobein at C, which is what my daughter has,
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: and I just wanted to make sure people knew about that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: And lastly, human trafficking. I live in Ohio. Ohio is
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: very very high and human trafficking and so many of
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: us are unaware of this. Many of us do not
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: realize the risk of it, and I can want us
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: to use my knowledge pace to educate my community. So
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: that's what I tried to do. So I think I'm
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: doing it. I'm hoping I'm doing it.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: But you definitely have your hands in a lot and
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: in some amazing things. I can relate to a couple
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: of those things that you have your hands in. I
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: also advocate for mental health and the capacity I can
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: because I suffer from mental illness. I have been diagnosed
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: with depression and PTSD, so that's something that I am
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: currently living with and I tell people all the time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: You know, I used to be I used to.
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: Be scared to talk about it because of the stigmas
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: and the labels that people put on it. But I
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: talk about it now because I want people to know
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: that you can function, you can live a normal life,
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: you can be active.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: You can do all of the amazing things that you
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: see me doing, even living with that illness.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: If you do the work, if you do the things
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: that are necessary, is it easy. No, But you have
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: to do the work, and you have to be willing
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: to do the work and willing to get the help
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: that you need. Because when I didn't know what it was,
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: people just pushed it off that, oh, she just liked that, she.
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: Just straightforward, She just no.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: I had moon swings, I was moody, I was rude
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: a lot of things that people just burst it off
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: as you know, that's just how she is. No, that's
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: not how I should be, you know, So let's let's
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: let's address the issue. So when I found out that
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: I had these issues, I did the work. I went
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: to counseling, and I learned some of the red flags,
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: some of the triggers, some of the things.
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: That you know, you can recognize.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: And hey, when I when I feel the depression coming on,
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: when I feel the symptoms, I know I can pick
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: up that phone, I can call my sister that I
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: can talk to my sister and she's gonna tell me, Hey,
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: get out the house, get off that computer, go out
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: and get you some sunlight, you know, and I got different.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: People that I can talk to.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: But I also learned that, hey, there are people that
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: look like me that you can go and sit down
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: and have conversations with, that have went to school, that
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: have studied and they know a little bit of more
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: how you can dig again and how you can work
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: with those things. So I thank you for your advocacy
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: and what you do in that capacity. I also have
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: family members.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: That live with sickle cell.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: I've lost a couple of family members from sickle cell
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: I I and and I need to find out for
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: myself and I need.
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: To do more research. But I think that.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: My family there's a trait that is carried by my
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: family because I do have other cousins that have been
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: diagnosed with the trait, so I know that it's something
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: that was it's within my family because we've had several cousins,
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: first cousins, second cousins that I know that have dealt
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: with that disease. And loopus is another one that it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: also in my family. My mother passed away from complications
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: of loops. I know my grandmother had loopers as well
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: as I have a funt that just living with loops
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: right now in Anie, so I I I know what
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: it's like. So I try to educate myself on that
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: as well, so that I can be a support system
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: to my niece because she's she was my first born,
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: so I.
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: Cannot do my niece, says Lucas. Also, yeah, yeah, it
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: is something. It's it's chronic conditions. And that was the
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: one thing that I saw as a parallel to mental
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: health is sickle cell So I saw the parallels because
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: you know what, like you said, people don't know what's
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: going on. If you're sometimes you might be having some
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: mental health issues and people don't know what it is
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: until it's bad. Same thing with my daughter. She looks
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: the picture of health until she doesn't. And it's chronic.
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: You don't ever know when it's gonna happen. It just does.
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: But I'm really, you know, proud of you, and I
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: hope that other people are also listening. We can do
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: the work, but what's more important is that we need
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: to support each other right right right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: And I'm so thankful for my support system. I have
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: an amazing support system. I have a prayer.
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: We get up every morning at five am and we're.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: On that pra call and when someone is going through
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: you know, we're able to pick up the phone and
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: call and and have conversations and it's nothing like having that.
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: But I I'm also proud of the work that you
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: do within the community. Social worker, an attorney. You've also
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: a judge, and I know that takes a lot in
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: giving back to the community and being that example that
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: a lot of us need to see because we don't
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: see a lot of us in those capacities.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: But the I can say over the last.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: Maybe ten years, I've seen a lot more of us
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: stepping up and you know, taking on these roles and
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: really being active within our community. But I'll applied to
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: you for doing that and being a leader that you know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: our little brown girls and our little brown boys can
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: look up and say, hey, if miss JJ can do it,
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: I can do it too. So I thank you for that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: I appreciate that, and I just want to be you know, telling.
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: Your audience it does we all need to step up.
• 15:32
  Speaker 10: And the reason why I'm able to be in this
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: role I am a magistrate. I'm appointed, I'm not elected
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: because my judge. Her name is Tanya R.
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: Jones.
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: She is the first African American judge in the history
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: of our court. And she wasn't elected until twenty and seventeen,
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: which says to me that in our community there's a
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: lot of work that needs to be done. But she
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: stepped up and when she became a leader, she made
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: sure that she brought me with her so that we
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: can do the work and do right by the people
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: in our community. And it is important that we show
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: our young people that you can do whatever you want
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: to do. But you know when I say that, you
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: can do whatever you want to do, because we're going
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: to be behind you. We're gonna help you. We got
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: to help each other and that's the only way any
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: of us are going to survive. And one of the
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: things that you said that's so important is prayer is
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: really important. My book is really really My books in
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: my novels are very real. I'm not gonna say that
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: for some people it can be a trigger. I want
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: to give that warning because the things in it are
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: things that happen to people for real, you know. But
• 16:45
  Speaker 10: what we need to do is pray. Prayer helps you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: when you pray, you release angels. You know, we you
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: know that come down to help you and we help
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: each other and if you know they're still enigma would
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: stop us from being able to get the help we need.
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: And the reason why there's you know, people when they're stigmatized,
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: it basically creates prejudice, which creates discrimination. So we need
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: to understand that these are you know, all of us
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: are dealing with things and what you just said you
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: were dealing with, Queen angel I just want to be clear.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: In the mental health world, we call that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: The CEO disease because more successful people who are CEO
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: suffer with mood swings.
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: So that might be one.
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: Thing that you're dealing with, but there may be a
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: byproduct that you're brilliant. Look what you're doing, you're thinking
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: outside the box and you're brilliant. So sometimes you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: we got to take the good with the bad. But
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: what we need to do more than anything is love
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: on each other and support each other.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: I think that's that's most importantly.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: You know that we are there for each other because
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: there may be an area where I'm weak, but you
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: may be strong in and you can assist in that area.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Because I can tell you I sit on a lot
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: of panels over on TikTok and a lot of them
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: are law panels.
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: We do case talk. It's the part that I go into.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: We advocate for those that have been wrongfully overly incarcerated.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: Right now, we are advocating for Nolan Wells family, We're
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: advocating for Carmelo Anthony. And it's just so much. And
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: I'll be the first to tell you that I don't
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: know a lot about the law. I didn't know a
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: lot about the law, But sitting on these panels and
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: willing to listen, willing to take notes, willing to just
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: sit down in the comments and learn. You know, I've
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: learned so much over the last eighteen months, well nineteen
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: months now, about laws and time. And now I want
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: to tell people that it's very important that you know
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: your local laws, that you know how to protect yourself,
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: you know your rights, and it's important that we.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: Are teaching these to our kids.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: We shouldn't wait to they get in trouble before we
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: start learning about these things. We should know about these
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: things before trouble even approaches, so we know how to
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: deal with it. I'm excited because one of the ladies
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: on our prayer call, her daughter just graduated from Oh
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: my got third Geard Marshall from law school in Texas.
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: She just took the.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: Bar in July, so I think she said she would
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: have her results back in October. So I'm waiting. I'm
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: waiting for those results. And she told me, she said,
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: Miss Angela, she said, you need to go to law school.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: Because she said, the passion that you have and the
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: way I hear you talk about these cases, she said,
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: you know some stuff that and I didn't even know.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: And she was like, you should go to law school.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: I said, well, when you get your law degree and
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: you get your office, I said, I'll come and I'll
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: sit under you and learn under you.
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: But I definitely have thought about it. But I'm in
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: school right now.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: I think you should do it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: And you know, what, what you just said was the
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: most important advice you can give people, you know.
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: Unfortunately, I just want to be clear.
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: As a magistrate, I'm not allowed to comment on any
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: cases that are.
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: Happening in the news.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: So that's the reason why, even though I may have
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: an opinion, I'm not allowed to voice it due to
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: my right. But this is what I can say. You
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: live in the United States of America. This is your
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: country too. Everybody should know how their government works, federal, local, state.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: You need to know how your local government work better
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: than you do your federal government.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: These people have all over your life.
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: If you don't understand the power of your vote, how
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: important it is, you know. I'm just gonna tell this
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: really quick story. When my son was young, I introduced
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: him to this friend.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: That I had.
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: This friend was a little bit older than me.
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: His parents put him, you know, with the Martin Luther
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: King marches, and they had children, you know, as part
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: of it. Because they thought that they had the children,
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: people wouldn't sick dogs on them or hurt them.
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: Well, they did sick dogs on them.
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: And this gentleman got bit in his private parts, you know,
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: because he was trying to make sure we can vote.
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: I tell my son, anytime you think you don't want
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: to vote, I want you to think about him. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: my son says, you know what that really resonated with them.
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: We have people who put their bodies on the line,
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: their lives on the line, to give us a right
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: thing that it is, our fundamental rights, and then you
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: see people who don't even take advantage of it, and
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: then when things go bad, they go, well, why are
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: things bad because you didn't do your part. We all
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: got to work together. We need to make sure that
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: we have candidates who represent our interests, our communities.
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: I'm very passionate as you can see about how I.
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: Because I just you know, I'm not gonna tell you
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: which way to vote, because I'm not allowed to do that.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: But if you vote now, can you complain?
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: No?
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: How can you grieve?
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: How can you be upset about things that are going
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: away you think they should when you didn't even bother
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: to participate in your process.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: Right you got to do is do the research. All
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: you got to do is to research. And today you
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: can go Google. You can google the candidates. You can
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: you can check GPT, you can look up all of
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: the information you need. It's right there in front of you.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: It's right in front of you. All you got to
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: do is be willing to do the work and go
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: out and be a part of the things that are
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: happening within your community. You can go to the city council,
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: you can go to the counting council. You can go
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: to all of these.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: Meetings because they are open. You can go sit in
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: these courtrooms and look at the.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: Judicial process taking place. Before your eyes.
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: It's an open courtroom, it's mandated everybody's you can come
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: and see, just like you said. But this is what
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: we have to combat. People are saying things like, oh,
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: my vote doesn't matter. Your vote does matter if you
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: get any kind of benefits, if you get any kind
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: of services. If you don't participate in your own process
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: and they cut your benefits, they cut your services, that's
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: because you didn't do what you should have done. This
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: is our country too. People die so that people who
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: look like me and people will look like you, Queen Angela,
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: can stand in a ballot box and cast their vote.
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: What's happening is the things that people work so hard
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: for are being rolled back because we have not participated. Now,
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: part of it is they're keeping us distracted. Get off
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: all this social media and do with Queen and Angela.
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: Just suggest it and go and learn about your community
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: and about what's happening so you can make sure that
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: you get your benefits and you get your services.
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: You know, people are distracted. They so busy trying to
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: make money.
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: Now, some of it is we gotta make money so
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: we can live, but some of it is for a
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: bunch of stupid material things that we probably don't even need. Okay,
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: they're distracting us. They're distracting us so that we're losing everything.
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: I help all the young people that are your audience.
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: I hope you guys are really listening. I hope you're
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: listening so that there is a legacy for you in
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: the future. Okay, so we may not even have a legacy.
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: We keep this up right.
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: And to encourage them that you don't have to wait
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: until you're older. You can go and learn these different things.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: They have programs. They have different programs. I know in
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: my little small city, they have the tours that you
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: can go into the courtroom, you can take these little tests.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: You can be a part of the police department, a
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: junior officer.
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: Just different things. You can be a junior court.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: Official, or you can learn the process of the judicial
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: system where you can learn the process of being an
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: officer and how the police department runs and different things
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: like that, as long as it don't violate the security
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: of the courts and the security of the police department
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: and stuff. You know, they have these different programs, but
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: you have to be willing to go into these programs,
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: and then they have all types of different things that
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: you can get involved in.
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: You can learn how to be an entrepreneur.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: You can learn about banking, you can learn about budgeting,
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: you can learn about a lot of different things, how
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: to become a homeowner.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: You don't have to wait till you are an adult
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: to you out here. You can start.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: I've seen so many kids start businesses, you know, and
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: they're not teaching They're not teaching our kids how to
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: be entrepreneurs. What they're teaching them is how to go
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: into the workforce and work for others. They're not teaching
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: them to be dreamers and to explore the gifts and
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: talents that they have.
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: I agree, So you know what I have the community, though,
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: you know what, these are our children. These are our children,
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: and so, like you said, Queen Angela, encouragement is everything
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: we need to you know, be here to lift our
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: young people, make them know that they can be anything
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: that they want to be. I think that's the reason
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: why I've been able to aspire to my dreams because
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: my parents even before you know, my dad died when
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: I was eight, but I still do remember him telling
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: me I can be anything that I wanted to be,
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: and just quickly to share a story. The reason why
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: I wanted to be a social worker is because when
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: I was fifteen, my peer committed suicide. She was African American,
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: and back in those days, we didn't you know, you
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: didn't see very many young African American people killing themselves.
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: And I felt a shift in my universe, you know.
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: And and we had like the social workers come in
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: and they talk to us, and we realized that she
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: had planned this, but we just didn't recognize the signs.
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: And I decided right then and there that I never
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: wanted a young person to ever fill the way she
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: must have felt. And I dedicated my life to my community,
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: and it changed the trajectory of.
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: What I decided to do with my life.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: And all of us have things that happen that can
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: inspire us to, you know, make a difference in our world.
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: And I just that inspired me, and that's why I
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: wanted to use my novels to you know, tell a
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: story that people can relate to.
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: And learn from it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: But I definitely thank you for that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: I thank you for all that you are doing, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: I thank you that you took the opportunity to take
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: time to put it in those novels, to put them
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: down on papers so that other people can read about it,
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: so other people can engage and see what's happening within
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: their communities. It may not be happening directly in your community,
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: but it's happening around you, and sometimes we need to
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: see these things before it happens, before it happens. So
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: I thank you for bringing awareness to all of the
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: things that you touch on inside of those novels. I
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: want you to share with the audience how they can
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: get those novels, and if you would give us just
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: a quick overview of your novels so that we can
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: grab them.
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: All Right, this is my first novel, The Anniversary, and
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: my novels are about a family, Grandville and Juliet Stubbs.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: They're professionals. They live in Cleveland, Ohio.
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: One of them gets some disturbing news and it awakens
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: an underlying mental health issue and all the different things
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: the family goes through. The reason why I named it
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: the Anniversary is I want people to understand that you,
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: like everybody, has an anniversary of something they're dealing with.
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: So I'm going to give a national example. Nine to
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: eleven is a national anniversary. Most of us know where
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: we were on nine to eleven and what we were
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: doing exactly when nine to eleven hit. And every year
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: we celebrate that, or we acknowledge that, we commemorate that.
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: That's what my second book is called The Commemoration.
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: But I want people to know that you may not
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: know that I'm going through something because this is an
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: anniversary of something that happened to me. Somebody passed away,
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: somebody that you know, I lost a job on this day.
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: You don't know what I'm dealing with. But what we
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: need to do is give each other grace because you
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: don't know what people.
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: Are dealing with.
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: And then my last novel, it's called The Revelation. This
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: is my newest novel that came out last year. You
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: can get my books wherever books are sold, but you
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: can also go to my website so you can get
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: an autograph copy of my books at www dot Novelistjjwinston
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: dot com. You can follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, everything.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: It's the same address Novelist JJ Winston. And I really
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: appreciate you, Queen Angela for having me because this has
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: just been such.
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: An honor, and I thank you.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: I always, I thank you for your time. I thank
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: you for just what you're doing. You're definitely creating and
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: leaving a legacy, and I truly appreciate that because you're
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: given Like I said earlier, you're giving all black and
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: brown boys and girls and opportunity to see legacy in
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: the making and to see and to know that they
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: too can have that same opportunity to walk into those
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: things that you were walking in. And I thank you for,
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: you know, always being willing to come on and to
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: talk about those things.
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: If there was one thing.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: That you could say to those those babies, those those
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: brown kids, what would you say to them to encourage
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: them to tap into their gifts and talents and to
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: begin to create the legacy that they don't have to wait,
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: that they can start now.
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: You know what, I agree.
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: You know one of the things I did after I
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: told you about my peer killing herself, I started to
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: volunteer my time even when I was a teenager.
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: And you can give your.
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: Time, but you can also do what Queen Angela suggested.
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: I want to tell you young people something for me and
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: Queen Angela, when we were young and we wanted to
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: learn something, we had to go through this whole big thing.
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: We had to go to the library.
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: We had to write down some call numbers and figure
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: out what books might have the information we want, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: then we had to go pull the books, and then
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: we had to go in the books and figure out
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: if the information that we were looking for was there.
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: You all don't have to do that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: You pull out your computer that's on your phone, and
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: you put in some words and it gives you a
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: thousand articles about whatever it is you're looking for. It
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: gives you videos about whatever it is you're looking for,
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: It gives you audio about whatever it is you're looking for.
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: There is no reason for us, not all to be
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: intelligent or smart. But when you're doing information, make sure
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: you vet it, because we also do have some people
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: putting some false information out.
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: Vet the information.
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: Everything on the internet ain't right, Everything on chat GPT
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: ain't right. Make sure you vet what you're getting and
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: make sure it's good. But at the end of the day,
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: use your opportunities to continue to self.
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: Educate, learn, learn is there is.
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: Please pick up a book, read if you don't want
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: to read two weeks, because we.
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: Know my book is on audio two. I got to mention.
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: The first book is on audio, so you can.
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: Get it on at audibos, but you can also listen
• 33:53
  Speaker 10: to the information.
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: But it is there. It's there, so take advantage of it.
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: And as far as a lot of fake information, you
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: know you can you can reference those sites because most
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: of the things now they have sites attached to them
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: where you can actually go and check them out and
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: see let them make sure that they are credible resources.
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: You can.
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: You can run them through fact Checker and make sure
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: that you know they are some good resources. And I
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: tell you the older they are, make sure that you're
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: checking in. And I remember the days that we we
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: didn't have a lot of opportunities.
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: We had to go.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: We had to go pull out those big old.
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: And then you had them.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: You go in cycledias, them in psias. You know how
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: they used to go down and sell in psychiopedias and
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: every every every Brown family had one because I know
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: we had uh uh sheef full of twoefs full of
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: them from A to Z.
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: Remember when you would go to the grocery store, this
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: is for your young people that said I used to
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: be for us.
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: They would have one letter. It'd be ninety nine cent
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: that week.
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: Okay, so my son when he was growing up, because
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: he's one of the kids who got the benefit of
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: being in the world before the internet. And then after
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: I had a do J for the encyclopedias, and I said,
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: when you got to pick a subject in school, make
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: sure you pick from A to J because that's how
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: we got our information.
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: I'm telling you.
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: And then that when they start giving them out with
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: the green stamps, we could come and go in and
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: trade them in.
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: I remember those days. I remember we had we had
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: the whole We had a to Z and then we
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: even had the other little set that went along with it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: It was like two different sets, right, I mean, that's
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: how we learned about that.
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: Right, Queen Angela. It was the supplement that went with
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: the originals.
• 36:00
  Speaker 10: Okay, that they gave you some more information in a
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: to Z after you get said yes, And.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: They had a lot of reference stuff where you can
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: go and reference other stuff, and then they would to
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: give you books and different other stuff that you can pull.
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: But I tell you those were the days. But now
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: it's so much easier. So there should be no excuse.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: There should be no excuses, no excuses at all. And
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: even in the schools. They're now making it available for
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: you to even get associate degree before you even graduate
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: high school.
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: So if you're.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Willing to put in the work you know you can have,
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: you can be halfway done with a degree by time
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: you graduate, and you don't have to spend money exactly.
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: That's why I've been telling all these kids that I
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: come in contact with, get in the duor program.
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: Get in the door program.
• 36:53

• 37:00
  Speaker 7: get them extra credits. Don't graduate early, go on, stay
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: with your class, get your little senior year. And by
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: a lot of people that I told that they graduated
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: with associate degrees, that only had to go to school
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: for two years to get their bachelor's degrees, and gave
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: everybody else still going four years. They already out in
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: the workforce, they already building their businesses, they're already building
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: their legacy, whatever it is.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: So I encourage them.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: I tell you, every person I come in contact with,
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: I'm spreading the word. You know, I'm not a gatekeeper
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: information that I get. I'm giving it out. I'm giving
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: it out because you know what if I leave here tomorrow,
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: I can't take none of this that he's put on
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: the inside of me. But I want to be able
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: to have left something that somebody is gonna be able
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: to help them throughout their journey to stay on this
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: journey we call life because we only get one chance
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: at this and I can't take none of this with
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: me because when I shut down, when I close, all
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: this stuff's gonna be buried or cremated a high up.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: My family choose to dispose of me, it's gonna stop
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: with me.
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: But I tell you, I want people to say that.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: She educated, she empowered, and she encouraged those that she
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: came in contact with.
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: I think we all have a purpose, and this is
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: what me and my one friend say. If you don't
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: live up to your purpose, you're gonna have to come
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: right back here again, because.
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: We call this preparatory.
• 38:25
  Speaker 10: Okay, so you don't know what's gonna happen when we
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: leave here, but I want to make sure that I
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: have met my purpose and I think I'm doing that.
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: And one more thing I like to encourage your audience
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: to do if they can. I just want to put
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: in a plug about blood. We're having a critical shortage
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: of blood. People like my daughter who have sickle cell disease.
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: Many of them need transfusions, and I need you all
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: to understand, particularly from brown people people of color, when
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: people with sickle cell are getting blood transfusions, it's best
• 39:03
  Speaker 10: if they get them from people in their community. So
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: I should really want to give a plug and encourage people.
• 39:10
