• 3:07
  So this month we are focused on a lot of the sickle cell
• 3:11
  conversations nationwide. And if you're not familiar,

• 4:08
  are doing conversations here, finding their voice.
• 4:12
  Thank you so much. This is the front Jose show.
• 4:29
  Hey, Mister man, how you doing? I'm good, man.
• 4:32
  I'm good. Hey, did you see the game last
• 4:33
  night? I was your game, but did you see
• 4:35
  the shot? I lost money from that.
• 4:37
  Oh man, that shot was. Old man, but it was good, yeah.
• 4:44
  What's the name? You really want to know I do.
• 4:54
  Exhaustion, muscle spasm, Asthmatic issues, unexpected
• 4:59
  sickle cell trait typing. Damn, are you serious?
• 5:03
  When I was young, I found out I had sickle cell trait.
• 5:05
  My mom's told me, but I didn't have no knowledge of it.
• 5:08
  But when I got older, I had a child.
• 5:09
  The doctor told me my daughter has sickle cell trait.
• 5:12
  You know, the fact that both parents have sickle cell trait,
• 5:15
  there's a 50% chance the child may have the trait and 25%
• 5:18
  chance the child may have the disease.
• 5:20
  And that's what's the count. Do you know that 2.5 million
• 5:23
  people in the United States have sickle cell trait?
• 5:25
  300 million people globally. I didn't find out I had sickle
• 5:28
  cell trait until I was in the army 10 years.
• 5:30
  Next thing you know I had a sickle cell trait.
• 5:31
  Exertion. Site.
• 5:33
  April. SO I thought that was a black
• 5:35
  gene or something. Nah, man.
• 5:36
  The black community is number 21 out of 36,000 babies are being
• 5:40
  born with sickle cell disease. You could be Caucasian,
• 5:42
  Mediterranean, European. You got rid of a bloodline, man.
• 5:48
  There is an. Inherited gene in our community
• 5:50
  that has been forgotten. The name is sickle cell trait.
• 5:54
  WDCONSCT, also known as What's the Count, is out to bring
• 5:58
  awareness, education and prevention to people all over
• 6:01
  the globe. Want more information?
• 6:04
  Call us now at 323-215-5384 or visit www.wdconsct.org.
• 6:26
  All right, welcome back to the front door.
• 6:27
  This show in the military broadcast radio network.
• 6:29
  It's NBR radio and TV. It is a great day.
• 6:35
  I'm here to just bring some awareness to some conversations
• 6:38
  that I'm up to in the community. Again, we just watch the PSA
• 6:42
  here about sickle cell trade. That is a public service
• 6:46
  announcement that I was blessed to create 2016 had been in my
• 6:50
  heart. I want to say, gosh, I started
• 6:54
  advocating in 20, late 2009. So probably about five years or
• 7:00
  so. That was in my mind to create
• 7:03
  this PSA and because there was a lot when I came into the scene,
• 7:09
  there wasn't a lot of sickle cell trade conversation
• 7:11
  happening. And so hearing people say, oh,
• 7:14
  we don't have any PS as we don't have anything.
• 7:16
  And, you know, instead of saying we don't have one, you know, it
• 7:19
  was put on my heart to create 1 and it is inspired by Genuine.
• 7:22
  So if you know that song by Genuine, any more room for me in
• 7:27
  those jeans? Yeah, I took that conversation
• 7:30
  and we flipped it and what's in what's in those jeans?
• 7:34
  What's in your jeans is the campaign.
• 7:36
  And it was my visual idea to, you know, be sitting on the bus
• 7:40
  stop, walk up, sit on the bus stop next to a guy.
• 7:42
  We laugh and talk about the game last night.
• 7:44
  And and then this girl walks by and these jeans and be like,
• 7:48
  Dang, what's in them jeans? Because that's what, you know,
• 7:51
  unfortunately some of us, that's how we act out loud in public.
• 7:55
  And she's like, you really want to know?
• 7:57
  And we like, yeah, sit down. And she just drops it off ABCD.
• 8:03
  And then it triggers our conversations like, oh, man, my
• 8:06
  mom told me I had sickle cell trade when I was little, but I
• 8:09
  didn't think that. And then hear my story.
• 8:11
  Oh, I collapsed in the military from sickle cell trade, Rabdo.
• 8:14
  And then the guy that comes sitting next to us like, hey.
• 8:16
  I thought sickle cell. I thought that was a.
• 8:18
  Black Dean and I dropped the the Hispanic conversations, right?
• 8:22
  So it is African Americans we are #1 and that community is
• 8:26
  number 2. And with that being said, check
• 8:29
  this out for the black community.

• 9:12
  So you see the Hispanic community number 2.
• 9:14
  So what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you some just some
• 9:18
  basic facts and what's, you know, what's so what's going on
• 9:22
  with sickle cell trade today, currently in our awareness
• 9:26
  month, giving you some knowledge.
• 9:27
  So if you have any questions or you know someone that needs this
• 9:30
  information after you watch it, you can pass it along to them so
• 9:34
  that they can become educated. So I'm going to put the ticket
• 9:37
  down there at the bottom. Boom.
• 9:39
  All right, so I'm going to go bring up my page, share my
• 9:44
  screen here. And So what you're looking at is
• 9:49
  my website, WDCON sct.org. At the top.
• 9:55
  When you go there, you'll be able to look at all the
• 9:56
  different tabs and the drop down.
• 9:59
  And then there's some more tabs on the very bottom of the
• 10:02
  website. This is me.
• 10:05
  This is actually the base that I collapsed that in 2006, just a
• 10:09
  couple days ago. It was 20 years ago, 2026.
• 10:14
  So Thursday last week it was no, no, a couple days ago.
• 10:22
  What was that? Not Thursday, it was Sunday.
• 10:25
  Sunday was 20 years that I collapsed at Camp Roberts.
• 10:31
  And so 2015 I reached out to them to find out if I could
• 10:37
  become a guest speaker, if they allow guest speakers, and they
• 10:40
  verified it and said yes. And so I have been a resident
• 10:45
  speaker at Camp Roberts since 2016.
• 10:49
  So I've been speaking up there for 10 years.
• 10:52
  Wow, to think about that today. So 2016 I started going up
• 10:58
  there. And so this is me not too long
• 11:01
  ago because you can see the beard, but I'm able to address
• 11:06
  the soldiers at the RTSM that come up there for either MOS
• 11:09
  schools or for their NCOES education programs up there.
• 11:15
  And so I'm allowed to come up there during the orientation
• 11:20
  period, which is like the the next day they so they arrive,
• 11:23
  they travel in on say on Wednesday and then I speak with
• 11:26
  him on Thursday morning at the during part of the orientation.
• 11:30
  And so that has been nothing less than than than a blessing
• 11:34
  to be able to go there and share my story, educate these soldiers
• 11:39
  by about my experience. And the beauty of it all is
• 11:44
  since 2020, I believe the Army specifically has gone back
• 11:50
  because of the sickle cell trade conversations and the rhythm
• 11:53
  myelosis conversations. And they have gone back and
• 11:56
  started to retest all of their Army soldiers and the new
• 12:00
  recruits to identify them about their sickle cell trade status.
• 12:04
  So now the last six years that I've been going there, or maybe
• 12:09
  about five years, soldiers come in and I share my presentation
• 12:13
  and they're, they're aware I've had a, a few soldiers come in
• 12:16
  and was like, Hey, I would, I just found out I was a trade
• 12:19
  carrier And you know, I, that's all they told me.
• 12:23
  But here I'm glad I came to, you know, I came to the school and,
• 12:26
  and that you're here because you gave me more information than
• 12:29
  that They gave me after I did the screening the PHA in the
• 12:34
  military. So there are still some
• 12:36
  conversations, some gaps, some things missing for that
• 12:40
  information piece, that awareness piece.
• 12:42
  And so I'm, I'm blessed to at least be able to travel there.
• 12:47
  I've done a few RTSM locations like Los Alamitos and March Air
• 12:52
  Force Base, and I've spoken to some other bases as far as, as
• 12:55
  far as Germany in person. And so, but yeah, this is me at
• 13:01
  the base. And so I travel there.
• 13:04
  I used to be almost 12 times because it was almost every
• 13:07
  course, but I've been able to break it down to maybe about
• 13:10
  10:10 or 9:00. We, we, we, we now negotiate.
• 13:16
  And you know, the best time to come up there might be in the
• 13:19
  middle of a, of a conversation or when, when another group is
• 13:22
  arriving. So they'll have more soldiers at
• 13:24
  one time. But I've, I've spoken as to many
• 13:26
  as 40 + 50 and as low as maybe 12 people.
• 13:32
  So it's not about, you know, how many people is there, it's about
• 13:37
  the information because you just never know who might need to
• 13:40
  hear that conversation, right? And so as you go to the website,
• 13:43
  that first page, the landing page here, we have some links
• 13:46
  here you can click on. And then there's a survey that
• 13:50
  my daughter Deja created. She's also single cell trade
• 13:52
  carrier. And then I want to play this for
• 13:54
  you. If you haven't seen this, this
• 13:56
  is actually a report that I was a part of, investigative report,
• 14:02
  and they came to me to share about my random myelosis
• 14:05
  experience in the military. Had no idea how it was going to
• 14:08
  turn out, but I wanted to give information and share my story.
• 14:11
  And so just take a listen. This is my portion of the
• 14:16
  conversation for my experience in the military with random
• 14:20
  myelosis. According to the Cleveland
• 14:22
  Clinic, kidney injury occurs in up to half of rhabdo cases.
• 14:27
  My kidneys are at 50% each. It's a complication former
• 14:31
  Sergeant First class for on Dozier experienced first hand
• 14:35
  while serving in the Army in 2006.
• 14:38
  Everything was spent like 1,000,000 miles an hour.
• 14:40
  It happened during an Army physical fitness test right
• 14:43
  after the final Sprint of the two mile run for Ron was rushed
• 14:47
  to the hospital. Physically, I was in.
• 14:51
  I was in a very bad state. I had severe muscle damage.
• 14:54
  I could barely walk. But the mindset of a soldier,
• 14:57
  you don't complain. He survived the ordeal and tried
• 14:59
  to get back to his old self, but says ongoing health problems
• 15:03
  ultimately led to his medical retirement in 2013.
• 15:07
  I had a lot of mental and physical pain at that time.
• 15:10
  And the pain is still with him today.
• 15:12
  I've never recovered fully. I still deal with the Vertigo.
• 15:15
  If I move too fast or I move my head too fast, I could still
• 15:18
  trigger. It his life to spreading
• 15:21
  education and awareness about Rabdo.
• 15:25
  Anybody heard of Rabdo before? Engaging military personnel,
• 15:28
  athletes, and youth nationwide. You can experience it, or you
• 15:32
  might be the person that saves that person's life.
• 15:34
  Given the intense mental and physical requirements, Ferran
• 15:38
  says it's a conversation that's especially important in the
• 15:41
  military. There's a lot of push ups,
• 15:43
  there's a lot of mountain crawls.
• 15:45
  It's the repetitive drills. Soldiers and military personnel
• 15:48
  are. Our number one human.
• 15:50
  Asset and so figuring out ways to protect that so there we go
• 16:02
  with that one. So when you go to the website
• 16:04
  you can check that out there's some more PSA's there you can
• 16:08
  support us. This is one of the sheets that
• 16:10
  created that I passed out on social media.
• 16:13
  Just some basic facts about sickle cell trape in our
• 16:16
  conversation. One in 12 African Americans,
• 16:20
  they say one in 13 just depends on the documentation that you
• 16:22
  look at. And this is real.
• 16:25
  The muscle breakdown, collapse, exertional with rhythm,
• 16:29
  myelosis. There's warning signs, you know,
• 16:33
  in sports and athletics back in the day, you know, water was
• 16:38
  weakness, right? And so sometimes it seems like a
• 16:41
  coach would punish the athlete for for getting water or for,
• 16:46
  you know, trying to take a break during the exercises.
• 16:49
  And so we we know now that that's not the case.
• 16:52
  And so unfortunately there has been some some deaths connected
• 16:56
  to some trainers and some colleges and some military
• 16:59
  programs. And so we are still out just
• 17:02
  making sure people are aware that they have this information
• 17:05
  about sickle cell trade, especially for the sickle cell
• 17:08
  trade carriers during extreme exercise conditions, heat
• 17:13
  elevation places like Denver, Co.
• 17:16
  And then if you want more about the screening, you can go again
• 17:18
  to the website at WDC on sct.org.
• 17:22
  Shouts out to the Medi Lab up in Fresno.
• 17:24
  They are my partners since about 2014.
• 17:27
  And so they, we've done a lot of great work together in the
• 17:30
  community and we are ramping that up again with the Medi Lab.
• 17:35
  Again, this is me again in a photo video of me talking to the
• 17:39
  soldiers at the base. This is just some basic, basic
• 17:45
  awareness for the community. You can go to the site and you
• 17:48
  can read that information. If you want to contact me, you
• 17:50
  can click that. But you know, just gives a,
• 17:54
  gives you just some basic overall awareness information.
• 17:59
  And this is me. I didn't put the new one.
• 18:00
  I got to put the new one up there.
• 18:02
  This is my 10th proclamation. This was in the 9th.
• 18:06
  So I need to update this and put the current proclamation video
• 18:10
  up there for my 10th year. This video is me interviewing
• 18:14
  Dr. O'Connor back in, Oh my goodness, 2018 or somewhere
• 18:22
  around there. I was able to work with them
• 18:24
  and, and talk about my sickle cell trade experience.
• 18:29
  And this is the PSA that you saw earlier.
• 18:31
  So that is on the website for people to watch.
• 18:34
  And these are some of the specific areas that we focus on.
• 18:38
  It's, it's for everybody. It's a human being conversation,
• 18:41
  right? But for sometimes we need to
• 18:44
  focus on certain demographics or certain conversations.
• 18:47
  And so we got the military, the sickle cell trait.
• 18:50
  It's a public health issue. Yes, for all all these
• 18:53
  conversations, public health issue.
• 18:55
  So specifically for military with my personal experience in
• 18:58
  that collapsing and having rather myelosis for the
• 19:01
  dehydration and the heat stroke and, and the renal failure, as
• 19:05
  you saw in the investigative report, parents, a lot of
• 19:08
  parents don't know or they were sickle cell trait carriers.
• 19:14
  They forgot and then they forgot to tell the child that the child
• 19:17
  was a carrier. And so we like to remind parents
• 19:20
  and families and, and again, the implications of what can happen
• 19:24
  if to that child, if they are trade carriers, specifically
• 19:28
  sickle cell trade carriers and they see things going on with
• 19:33
  the athletic department of the coaches and they're not being
• 19:35
  taken care of or treated properly.
• 19:38
  And then that's worst case. You know, I was having a talk
• 19:41
  with my mom when I was getting my proclamation and you know,
• 19:44
  we've, we've lost some athletes, military personnel and some of
• 19:48
  the personnel, some of the athletes knew that they were
• 19:51
  trade carriers, right? The parents knew that they were
• 19:53
  trade carriers. And so share with my mom, it's
• 19:57
  like, you know, my my heart, our heart goes out to them because
• 20:01
  that that could have been my parents right in the story of
• 20:04
  the the big of it all. But to actually have that happen
• 20:08
  to a family that. That you are aware that the
• 20:10
  sickle cell trade could cause these complications and
• 20:13
  something happens to that child. You know, we pray that that
• 20:16
  family finds peace. We know that what resentment and
• 20:19
  regret and resentment could look like.
• 20:23
  And so we just pray that that family, you know, has an
• 20:27
  opportunity to heal and and and do what they do to honor that
• 20:31
  athlete or that soldiers legacy, their name as far as bringing
• 20:36
  more awareness. But we've seen it over and over
• 20:39
  since I've been an advocate for the last 16 years.
• 20:41
  And so just talking to my mom and like, at what point like do
• 20:45
  we have a conversation with that child, Right?
• 20:48
  And I'm no different because my daughter has sickle cell trait
• 20:51
  and, and she has a child and he doesn't have the trait.
• 20:54
  But I have to, you know, in my mind, I'm, I'm always concerned
• 20:59
  and not, I won't say always, but it's always there in the back of
• 21:02
  my mind to make sure that she's hydrated, to make sure that
• 21:05
  she's fine, that she's eating properly, because she does
• 21:09
  experience the same things that I've experienced with fatigue,
• 21:12
  right? And so when you look at that and
• 21:15
  you've experienced that for yourself, and then you have a
• 21:17
  seed, a child who also has that trait, then it's like, OK, just
• 21:21
  make sure you know that you're doing things that you need to do
• 21:24
  for your body. And if you're tired, you need to
• 21:27
  rest, you know, but it's difficult when you're young and
• 21:30
  you are aware even and still don't, you know, take that
• 21:34
  advice. And so the best I could do is
• 21:35
  just pray and just make sure that I remind her in a loving
• 21:40
  and caring way that, hey, make sure you take care of yourself.
• 21:43
  Make sure you're drinking water because you know you don't want
• 21:46
  anything to happen. Our health is wealth.
• 21:50
  Like we say that health is wealth, but do we live from that
• 21:53
  health as well? And for some of us, we don't
• 21:55
  live at that. And we talk about it, but we
• 21:57
  don't live from it. So you got the parents, you got
• 22:00
  the students. Again, the student got athletes
• 22:05
  biology classes. So I've I've speak, I've spoken
• 22:07
  in biology classes with the athletic departments.
• 22:10
  Coaches are on our list because again, the conversation around
• 22:14
  the coaches is very important, very, very important for
• 22:17
  coaches. We don't want trainers to get,
• 22:20
  you know, in trouble or or convicted or have any kind of
• 22:24
  issues, you know, by training some athletes who actually die
• 22:28
  under their care and under their watch.
• 22:29
  We don't, we don't want that to happen.
• 22:32
  Law enforcement, we've seen cadets and police academies and
• 22:35
  sheriff academies collapse and have had some serious
• 22:39
  complications and even some fatal complications in law
• 22:42
  enforcement training. So that is another area that I
• 22:45
  speak to. Professional athletes, of
• 22:47
  course, you know my shouts out to Ryan Clark, we lost Rodney
• 22:50
  Hillman. There's another, there's other
• 22:53
  athletes out there that are trade carriers who are opening
• 22:56
  up and sharing their causes and their experiences about their
• 22:58
  situations with the trade. And so professional athletes,
• 23:03
  CrossFit, the rhabdomyelosis, especially for the CrossFit,
• 23:07
  those two have gone hand in hand before I even knew about rhabdo,
• 23:12
  but a lot of CrossFit community experience rhabdo and the sickle
• 23:16
  cell trait, again, can be a part of that.
• 23:18
  But there are other things that can trigger rhabdomyelosis.
• 23:22
  Statin medications, cholesterol medications, other inherited
• 23:26
  genes. Sickle cell trait is just one of
• 23:28
  many, many things that could cause rhythm myelosis in
• 23:34
  conjunction with that expression, right?
• 23:36
  So there are other red blood cell conditions that can cause
• 23:38
  that. You could have a skeleton
• 23:39
  muscular gene that you don't know about that you exercise one
• 23:44
  day and it triggers that gene, that skeleton muscular gene to
• 23:48
  the express itself with the rhabdo.
• 23:49
  And now we have people who have had severe muscle damage and,
• 23:55
  and lost limbs and things like that from having rhythm myelosis
• 23:59
  and these other adhere to genes. So CrossFit is one of the areas
• 24:03
  again with firefighters, same thing, you know, that exertion
• 24:07
  when that oxygen tank and things like that.
• 24:09
  So a lot of that in training, a lot of stuff happens in training
• 24:15
  and the school awareness, as I said, going into the schools,
• 24:18
  educating the staff, the nurses, the teachers, physical PE
• 24:21
  teachers, those conversations are very, very important.
• 24:26
  And not just the school nurses, but the nurses and the hospitals
• 24:29
  and the doctor's offices, right? Because sometimes they only get
• 24:33
  a couple of paragraphs of pages to study sickle cell trade in
• 24:37
  their education. So they don't really get the
• 24:39
  insurance and outs and the details about sickle cell trade
• 24:41
  unless they go into a field or an area where they actually work
• 24:45
  on people are connected to people with sickle cell trade or
• 24:48
  sickle cell, right? And of course, when it comes to
• 24:51
  having relationships and creating a family so that that
• 24:54
  marriage counseling conversation right there, couples with sickle
• 24:57
  cell trade, we don't, we don't tell people, you know what you
• 25:01
  did, what you should do, what you shouldn't do as far as
• 25:03
  getting married and having children, because we know, but
• 25:08
  depends on what you believe in. But God, God knows.
• 25:11
  And then if you were born with this inherited gene or any type
• 25:14
  of inherited gene and your family, you, you, you, you want
• 25:18
  to know that you were chosen for that.
• 25:20
  Like God gave us those genes and they may have a whole nother
• 25:24
  view in the world right about that gene.
• 25:27
  But then we're born for a purpose.
• 25:29
  If you believe that we're born with these genes that express
• 25:32
  themselves because we have a voice, we have a personal
• 25:34
  experience. And so when you look at that,
• 25:38
  you know, my, my dad didn't get a chance to pick what gene he
• 25:42
  was going to pass to me and my mother's womb right during that
• 25:46
  time. So it's all about your
• 25:49
  perception, your perspective, your interpretation of how you
• 25:52
  live. We have, I advocate with people
• 25:54
  with lupus and all different types of chronic illnesses.
• 25:57
  And so even with depression and anxiety, maybe that is your
• 26:01
  experience that you can learn about it and then go and share
• 26:05
  with someone who is dealing with that conversation, right?
• 26:08
  So those are important. And then of course, pregnancy
• 26:11
  for sickle cell trait, we had to educate my daughter that she
• 26:14
  knew that, hey, make sure you know your blood work is is up to
• 26:18
  date, is current. Make sure they know what your
• 26:20
  blood type is. Because in case you're giving
• 26:22
  birth and you start losing blood, they can make sure that
• 26:25
  they have blood on hand because you need to have specific types
• 26:28
  of blood and they didn't know, you know your risk factors
• 26:32
  during your pregnancy for having sickle cell trade.
• 26:35
  It's not sickle cell disease. It is the case is a sickle cell
• 26:38
  trait where they just the carriers, right?
• 26:40
  We carry your status. But it is we're learning is not
• 26:44
  benign. We're learning that there are
• 26:46
  complications with sickle cell trade, as you'll see through
• 26:49
  this page in this website as we get into this conversation.
• 26:53
  All right, so there's the awareness, the education and the
• 26:56
  prevention conversations around sickle cell trade.
• 26:59
  It's inherited 50% chance that you can have sickle cell trade
• 27:03
  and both parents are sickle cell trade carriers.
• 27:05
  And then there's a 25% chance that the child can have sickle
• 27:08
  cell trade and, or nothing at all.
• 27:13
  Right. And then today, of course, if
• 27:14
  you got the money, you can actually go and, and, and pull
• 27:17
  those, those eggs and those sperm cells out and look for
• 27:20
  the, the ones that are not defective and then create a
• 27:23
  child that has no genes. But if you can afford that,
• 27:28
  that's another conversation. There are a lot of myths and
• 27:32
  stigmas around sickle cell, sickle cell trait.
• 27:35
  So I got some listed there. You can go there and read those.
• 27:39
  What it takes to live a normal life, whatever you determine
• 27:41
  what is normal, I can tell you that.
• 27:44
  Yeah, I had to really look back in my life and kind of scale
• 27:48
  back because my life was no longer the same after I
• 27:52
  collapsed. I I had a lot of health
• 27:54
  challenges and still deal with it and never fully recovered.
• 27:57
  So how I used to exercise and play basketball and do all the
• 28:00
  stuff I used to back then prior to that date?
• 28:05
  20 years ago. I, I, I can't, there's some
• 28:09
  things I just can't do that I used to do.
• 28:11
  And it is sometimes difficult when your mind says yes, but
• 28:15
  your body says no, but not or not.
• 28:18
  This has been a conversation we've been having the last few
• 28:20
  years, discovering that there are some risk factors and the
• 28:23
  medical community finally, you know, coming to some studies and
• 28:27
  saying, OK, you know what, in certain conditions, sickle cell
• 28:30
  tray can be a problem and also with blood clots and things like
• 28:33
  that. So yes, even a rare kidney
• 28:37
  cancer. So when you go to that page,
• 28:39
  Doctor Maisha is there. You can go and click on her.
• 28:41
  She is one of our board members. She is a doctor licensed in
• 28:44
  about 12 states. She can do telehealth.
• 28:49
  So if you're a sickle cell trait or sickle cell patient and you
• 28:52
  need some assistance, you can go to her practice, do a
• 28:57
  consultation for free. And then if you want to work
• 29:00
  with her to have her help you communicate more effectively
• 29:03
  with your doctor, or you want her to be the doctor that treats
• 29:07
  you for a period of time so that you can figure out what's going
• 29:10
  on with your health. Those are the things that we're
• 29:11
  doing not just for sickle cell trait or sickle cell.
• 29:15
  We're doing it for rhabdo community, for the lupus
• 29:18
  community, for, again, the chronic illnesses because she is
• 29:20
  the doctor. So she can help you go over your
• 29:23
  blood work paperwork. Make sure you understand what
• 29:25
  the doctor, your doctor saying to you.
• 29:27
  If you're not feeling like you're being heard by your
• 29:29
  physician, we are providing that service now through her
• 29:32
  practice. Know your trait status and the
• 29:38
  and the risk. So just some more details there,
• 29:41
  what to recognize. You got to pay attention to your
• 29:44
  body. That's the best thing I can tell
• 29:45
  you if you learn anything from me today is just pay attention
• 29:49
  to your body. It is so important to pay
• 29:52
  attention to your body. It will tell you when there's
• 29:53
  something going on. It will tell you when there's
• 29:55
  something you're not feeling well.
• 29:58
  But that's the issue that we have sometimes with us as
• 30:02
  veterans and athletes, we push past those those bodies
• 30:06
  sensation. We push past because we want to,
• 30:07
  you know, that that mind, the mind is developed and trained to
• 30:11
  to do these in extreme conditions.
• 30:14
  But you've got to be able to listen to your body.
• 30:16
  And if you need to take a break, you need to take that break to
• 30:19
  give your body a chance to recover.
• 30:22
  So again, this is just more information, basic, basic, basic
• 30:28
  information. If you'd like for me to come and
• 30:30
  speak at your facility, at your military base, at your school,
• 30:35
  you can click there, you can book me and have a conversation
• 30:38
  with me, and then we can set that up and I'll come out to
• 30:41
  your school and talk with you. And then we got the military
• 30:45
  tour right here. So here is another video with me
• 30:48
  speaking at the military base. There's the investigative report
• 30:51
  there. And then just these are some of
• 30:54
  the bullet points that I have around sickle cell trade.
• 30:59
  There's me at another proclamation meeting.
• 31:05
  There's me again, speak with more soldiers.
• 31:07
  So it all depends on, you know, who shows up at that time at the
• 31:11
  base, but no one know if it's six soldiers, I'm up there for
• 31:16
  the six soldiers. More information at WDC and SCT
• 31:20
  get screened. What's the count?
• 31:22
  That's me. KC Radio.
• 31:24
  If you again like to support the conversation, you can donate
• 31:29
  there, but I shout out to KC Radio for those military talks.
• 31:32
  Again, the PSA, I'm also a youth speaker and A and a Deacon at
• 31:39
  church and the speaker at my church.
• 31:41
  So I speak at 2 churches. I'm a Deacon at my main church
• 31:43
  and I'm a youth speaker at my cousin's church at the New Earth
• 31:45
  Christian Church. So second Sundays I deliver a
• 31:48
  message, but also my testimony is in the Bible.
• 31:51
  God showed me that inheritage gene that he gave me in my
• 31:54
  mother's womb to be an advocate for to deliver this message.
• 31:57
  But also when I saw the blueprint in the Bible, you can
• 32:01
  go and read that Judges chapter 4.
• 32:03
  You can click that as well. I don't know how long is this
• 32:05
  video. Let's let's see what am I what
• 32:07
  am I talking about right here? Well, no, that's the full that's
• 32:11
  the full clip right there. So you might want to go there if
• 32:13
  you want to watch that full sermon, me sharing about my
• 32:17
  experience with sickle cell trade.
• 32:19
  Let me let me see if I can play a little bit for you.
• 32:21
  When? I'm talking about great.
• 32:22
  And when I ask you about your why, I also want to share with
• 32:29
  you these five questions to ask yourself as you start to examine
• 32:35
  self, examine yourself for your purpose or your passion or your
• 32:38
  gift. And is who am I like?
• 32:42
  Who are you like? Not your skin, not your race,
• 32:46
  but who are you connected to the word?
• 32:50
  Where are you from? You know, a lot of people are
• 32:53
  challenged with where am I from? Like where my from is, is it
• 32:56
  science? You believe in science or you
• 32:58
  believe in the word of God or where we come from.
• 33:02
  And then why am I here? And that's why am I born like he
• 33:07
  said that he, he knew was in our mother's womb.
• 33:11
  So we're born for a reason. I discovered that yes, I was a
• 33:14
  leader in the military over soldiers, but also in God's
• 33:19
  Word, I'm a leader in a conversation that he brought me
• 33:21
  here to serve right to deliver this message.
• 33:24
  Thank. You and then what can I do and
• 33:27
  that's a lot of times we looking for identity crisis, but what
• 33:31
  can you do within yourself? What are you what are your
• 33:33
  natural things that you can do? And then my dad used to talk
• 33:38
  about this one is where am I going?
• 33:41
  Where is my destiny? I was my dad.
• 33:43
  He always talked about destiny. Even when he was sitting next to
• 33:46
  me, he was like, well, this must be my destiny because I'm still
• 33:48
  with you, right? I'm.
• 33:50
  Like, OK, OK, I didn't get it at the time.
• 33:54
  I got it now, Pops. And so when we look at Judges
• 33:58
  Chapter 4, the story about Deborah, Barack, I'm going to
• 34:01
  give you the characters. And so Deborah was the
• 34:06
  prophetess during that time and she judged the community there.
• 34:10
  My mentor Phyllis, I met, she had a sickle cell organization
• 34:15
  in Georgia called the SCD Soldier Network.
• 34:18
  And as I started to develop my conversation in sickle cell
• 34:22
  trait, I was looking for organizations to connect with
• 34:25
  and people because I'm like, there's a whole community of
• 34:27
  people out here I don't have to know about.
• 34:29
  And so I end up finding her organization on Facebook.
• 34:32
  We connected. I flew to the 30th annual
• 34:35
  conference in Maryland for the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation,
• 34:39
  and I have prepared my brochure. I have my gear, I have T-shirts
• 34:43
  and everything packaged up. And Kiki Shepherd was the host
• 34:47
  of that event that year. And so I went into the town hall
• 34:50
  meeting, sat down, and I got close to her.
• 34:53
  When she came around with the microphone, I waved my hand so I
• 34:55
  could have an opportunity to speak.
• 34:57
  And my turn came. I spoke.
• 35:00
  I and I. Had my flight, I introduced
• 35:02
  myself to the community. I'm Ferran Dozy.
• 35:04
  I'm a retired, I'm retiring, I'm still in the military, but I
• 35:07
  have sickle cell trait. This is my experience and I'm
• 35:09
  here to just kind of share to get involved.
• 35:12
  And it was like silence. I was like, OK, so one of the
• 35:17
  doctors asked me to see my brochure.
• 35:19
  And so she I showed her that. And then, you know, I'm end up
• 35:22
  meeting with Phyllis. But I didn't, I really didn't
• 35:25
  feel welcome. Like I really didn't have that
• 35:27
  welcoming experience. Phyllis and I talked and she
• 35:30
  said for and I know how important sickle cell trade is.
• 35:32
  That's that. I mean, that's where it starts.
• 35:34
  We got to educate our carriers. And so she took me under her
• 35:37
  wing. And as Deborah and Barack, when
• 35:40
  you read that passage, you know their relationship was, you
• 35:44
  know, he he was called to fight this war on Sicera.
• 35:47
  But he tells her I'm not going to go unless you go with.
• 35:50
  Me. Right.
• 35:52
  And so she told him, like, if I go with you, you're not going to
• 35:54
  get the glory a woman is. And, and for me, that's how I
• 35:58
  was with her. I started going to events with
• 36:00
  her, whatever she needed me to do.
• 36:01
  It wasn't about me being in charge, even though I was in the
• 36:04
  military, But to have a woman be a mentor.
• 36:07
  Some men are challenged by having women over them, right
• 36:10
  and their and their careers and in their life.
• 36:12
  But as a mentor, she took me under her wing and she shared
• 36:16
  with me what kind of person I need to be for this community,
• 36:19
  You know, not to just go show up and say your speak your mind and
• 36:23
  then leave. No, you want to leave your
• 36:24
  footprint. You want to have a place in that
• 36:26
  community where they can come to you.
• 36:27
  So it's just don't go share your the story and leave.
• 36:30
  You want to integrate yourself in that community so they can
• 36:32
  have you to come to if they have questions.
• 36:34
  And so she taught me all that conversation.
• 36:37
  And then when you go to the scripture of Judges Chapter 4,
• 36:41
  Barack was called to fight that war on Sisera.
• 36:43
  And again, he said, I'm not going to go unless you go.
• 36:47
  So they went together, but she told them you're not going to
• 36:49
  get the glory. And that's, that's me.
• 36:51
  I don't, it's not about, you know what I get out of this.
• 36:54
  I, I do it for free. I, it's not important.
• 36:57
  I, I just want to share this message.
• 36:58
  And that's what's most important.
• 37:00
  It's not about the victory for me.
• 37:01
  It's about mobilizing the community so people become aware
• 37:05
  of the sickle cell trade and the 300 million people plus that
• 37:08
  carry this gene, my Lord. So now as they go up to Mount
• 37:12
  Tabor, he was told to gather 10,000 soldiers and go up to
• 37:16
  Mount Tabor. And then God was going to, you
• 37:18
  know, do his thing in which God made it rain and that river of
• 37:22
  Kishan became muddy right now, I had a friend who passed away
• 37:28
  recently. Her name was Krishan.
• 37:31
  And we met also at the same time during our meeting with Phyllis.
• 37:36
  And so when she just got this passage, she was at in Georgia
• 37:41
  at a meeting and a prophet came in and says you need to read
• 37:44
  Judges chapter 4. And so she was like, OK, and you
• 37:47
  know. And.
• 37:48
  Brought it home and so Monday morning she calls me she's like
• 37:50
  for on you need to get your Bible.
• 37:52
  I'm like, OK, so I get my Bible and we're reading this passage
• 37:56
  and we're crying because we could see the revelation of how
• 38:00
  this relates to our relationship and but not even just us, but
• 38:04
  the community and this conversation around sickle cell.
• 38:08
  So as he was told to gather those 10,000 soldiers, they went
• 38:11
  to Mount Tabor. God made it rain.
• 38:13
  That river of Krishan became muddy.
• 38:15
  God tells Deborah, OK, it's time to go fight this war.
• 38:21
  They come down now. Now Barack has some doubt.
• 38:25
  Obviously you can see he had doubt like he trusted God, he
• 38:28
  knew God, but he still had a level of doubt.
• 38:31
  How could he have such a doubt being a soldier?
• 38:34
  He was the soldier in the military, but he still had a
• 38:37
  level of doubt. And I could see myself still in
• 38:40
  that as I'm developing my walk, right?
• 38:42
  We all have a little doubt. We kind of questioned God.
• 38:44
  Like, Are you sure, man? Am I, am I really supposed to be
• 38:46
  this advocate? Does anybody care about my
• 38:48
  conversation, God? Like sometimes I wake up in the
• 38:51
  morning and I'm like doubting, like I know I have a common
• 38:54
  voice in this, a conversation, but do people really care?
• 38:57
  Like, what am I doing? And so I could see myself even
• 39:00
  today, as in Barack, having that little doubt in God.
• 39:06
  But he goes to fight this war. Cicera here's at the war that
• 39:09
  the war has started. So he grabs his 900 Chariots of
• 39:13
  iron. Now.
• 39:14
  Again, when you look in sickle cell, it is a iron deficiency
• 39:19
  type of disorder. So when we read that nine, that
• 39:23
  Cicera 900 chairs of iron, it made sense like oh, you got to
• 39:28
  be kidding. Like OK, so now this is the real
• 39:30
  story. Now Cicera represents sickle
• 39:33
  cell, the anemia. He represents the disease.
• 39:39
  So as Cicero goes to attack Barack, he crosses that river of
• 39:46
  Kishan and guess what? Those nine hundreds of chairs of
• 39:50
  iron sink in the mud because they're so heavy.
• 39:56
  So now as Barack comes down the hill, he attacks Cicero's army
• 40:00
  and defeats his army because they could not use those
• 40:03
  Chariots to defend themselves. So they dismounted, they had the
• 40:07
  combat, and they were defeated. Now Cicero takes off running in
• 40:13
  the desert. Now out in the desert, you'll
• 40:16
  see that there's a tent, and it's JL.
• 40:20
  She's set up in the tent by herself, and she sees Cicero
• 40:24
  running, you know, in her area. And she waves him in.
• 40:29
  Oh, come in. Oh, she recognized him.
• 40:30
  Come in, come in, come in. And so JL represents the
• 40:34
  community. So we have my mentor, Phyllis,
• 40:38
  who's Deborah. I'm Barack.
• 40:41
  In the passage, Cicera represents sickle cell, and JL
• 40:45
  represents the community. Now, over Cicera's army is a guy
• 40:50
  named Jabin. He was the general.
• 40:53
  And Jabin represents sickle cell trade.
• 40:56
  So those are the characters in that passage.
• 40:58
  And then for us, this is what this looks like as we are
• 41:02
  starting to create our work in the sickle cell community.
• 41:07
  So when JL sees Sister of Running, she waves him into the
• 41:11
  tent. He comes into the tent and says,
• 41:13
  hey, if any man come here, tell him that there's no man here.
• 41:17
  And she's like, yeah, yeah, OK, OK.
• 41:19
  And so he sits down and he's like, I'm thirsty.
• 41:22
  And so she doesn't give him water, she gives him milk.
• 41:27
  And now how that relates is what if you give a person milk, warm
• 41:31
  milk, they're going to like a baby.
• 41:33
  They're going to go to sleep. They're going to be relaxed and
• 41:35
  calm. If you give a person water,
• 41:37
  they're going to be hydrated, right?
• 41:38
  So she gave him milk and he laid down.
• 41:41
  And she also says, like, are you tired?
• 41:43
  And we're in like in verse 17 now and we're like, are you
• 41:47
  tired? And she's like, yeah, I'm tired.
• 41:48
  So she lays, says, lay down in the corner.
• 41:50
  She gets a blanket and covers them up.
• 41:54
  Now she goes outside and she grabs this tin peg and a hammer
• 41:59
  and she's spikes him right through his skull and pins him
• 42:04
  to the ground. And then she goes to her door
• 42:08
  and she sees Barack running and she says that the man you're
• 42:11
  looking for is in here. Now how that plays out again for
• 42:16
  me is, is to mobilize the community around Sickle Cell,
• 42:20
  which is those 10,000 troops that that he was called to do.
• 42:25
  It wasn't about Barack getting the glory because JL took out
• 42:30
  Sisera in her tent. So JL represent the community.
• 42:34
  My job is to mobilize the community, get this message out.
• 42:37
  The community wins. Not for Ron, the community wins
• 42:40
  because that's what sickle cell trait.
• 42:42
  Sickle cell hides out. A lot of people don't know that
• 42:45
  they have this gene. They don't know that the risk
• 42:47
  factors are there. They don't know they can cause
• 42:48
  sudden death. They don't know these health
• 42:50
  complications that come with sickle cell trait because it
• 42:53
  hasn't been addressed. So when we saw that reading
• 42:57
  that, that morning, I was like, OK, God, I get it.
• 43:00
  Like I get it like you've shown us literally the blueprint of my
• 43:06
  conversation and what it looks like.
• 43:09
  And again, I still have to manage that doubt.
• 43:11
  I still ask myself those five questions because I'm
• 43:15
  continuously, continuously searching, searching, searching
• 43:19
  my heart, searching God for this message.
• 43:21
  I know that I'm called to serve this conversation.
• 43:24
  I know I have a voice in this. And I understand that it's not
• 43:27
  about Ferran, that this is about the community.
• 43:30
  And So what happens at the end of that passage is Jabin, who is
• 43:34
  the general also gets captured and taken down.
• 43:37
  And so now the war on Sicera is over.
• 43:40
  And so Sicera is done. Jabin is is taken care of and.
• 43:46
  So as you hear, I appreciate you.
• 43:48
  So that is the just part of the conversation that I have at
• 43:52
  church that is I'm going to be able to go it around different
• 43:55
  churches and deliver that message.
• 43:57
  But that is I think that was the first time I delivered that
• 44:01
  message actually, right? So just make sure when you go to
• 44:04
  the website, you can click around here on all the different
• 44:07
  tabs takes you to your personal health.
• 44:11
  There's some more clips right there.
• 44:12
  This is my mom right here. She's dropping some knowledge on
• 44:15
  folks. Exactly.
• 44:17
  Let me interject as a parent too, you know, we have to pay
• 44:20
  attention to things too in our children.
• 44:22
  You know, everything. You just don't castaway like,
• 44:24
  oh, it's nothing or it's a virus or whatever, whatever, 'cause
• 44:27
  even with Farron, when he was younger, what, 7-8 years old, he
• 44:30
  used to complain of his joints and I would take him to the
• 44:34
  pediatrician and they would say was growing pains.
• 44:37
  Yeah. Honestly, they would say was
• 44:39
  growing pains and you know, and, and, and so, OK, well, you know,
• 44:42
  he's growing. But again, we found out later
• 44:45
  when he was an adult with 2006, maybe it was not just growing
• 44:49
  pains because this thing came upon him, you know, and nobody
• 44:53
  knew, you know, and then bam, you know, he's here living to be
• 44:57
  able to talk about it. But statistically, most people
• 44:59
  who get to the point of exertion that he got to are now no longer
• 45:02
  here. So it was just God, you know,
• 45:06
  and his purpose and destiny to actually be an advocate for the
• 45:10
  things that he's doing now, because he's not technically,
• 45:13
  he's not statistically supposed to even be here speaking with us
• 45:16
  now. Exactly, that's my mom.
• 45:19
  Shout out to my mom's has been a huge, huge supporter in this
• 45:23
  conversation. I thank her so much.
• 45:25
  Again, you just going to go around the website, you're going
• 45:28
  to see different conversations. You're going to see
• 45:30
  presentations that I've done. And then like I said, for the
• 45:34
  other communities where we at the Hispanic black community,
• 45:40
  you are #2 we can be Caucasian, Mediterranean, Asian descent.
• 45:44
  So there's some more information.
• 45:45
  There's the PSA that I played for you earlier, and there's
• 45:49
  just more commercials, more PSAS, more information
• 45:52
  specifically for the Hispanic community.
• 45:54
  Again, the percentages again we talked for athletes that plays
• 45:59
  all different sports from soccer to baseball, basketball, track
• 46:02
  and field, CrossFit, military police, some more missing
• 46:05
  stigmas there Our mission and here's some facts about the Lac
• 46:09
  community. About one in 100 have sickle
• 46:11
  cell trait and then about 73 out of 1000 births around sickle
• 46:17
  cell. So you know these these are the
• 46:21
  conversations. These are the conversations.
• 46:23
  One in 16,300 have sickle cell disease in Hispanic community,
• 46:29
  right? So it's not a skin color, it's a
• 46:33
  bloodline conversation, right? And so again, you can go there
• 46:37
  and then what else we got, we got I'm going to Africa.
• 46:41
  So if you want to find out some more information about that, but
• 46:45
  all the proceeds will go to my trip cover the airfare, the
• 46:49
  hotel, the food, all that lodging and everything you can
• 46:52
  donate to that. It's about $6000 something total
• 46:56
  cost. You can go there.
• 46:59
  More information in the here at the bottom.
• 47:01
  So these are all other tabs at the bottom, again, you can click
• 47:03
  on those, but also at the top there's more drop downs.
• 47:07
  You can come here. And then this is the crew.
• 47:10
  So you can see, here's my dad. I got some stuff about my dad.
• 47:13
  This is me sharing my story about my dad and being an
• 47:17
  advocate here for me, you know? And then here's Alan with his
• 47:22
  story and then there's more pictures about my dad.
• 47:26
  So I'm very grateful. Shouts out to my pops.
• 47:29
  I'm going to take APSA break real quick and then come back
• 47:34
  and drop some more knowledge on you right here on the Frondose
• 47:37
  show on the military broadcast radio network.
• 47:41
  Shala Sabos account or what we going to play first?
• 47:44
  Oh, let's play. Let's play some music.
• 47:47
  This is one of my favorite, favorite military conversations
• 47:51

  here to bring you awareness, education and prevention
• 52:09
  conversations around the risk factors of this inherited gene.
• 52:12
  Visit WDCON sct.org. Hey.
• 52:42
  Mister Man, how you doing? You really want to.
• 52:56
  Know exhaustion, muscle spasm, asthmatic issues, unexpected
• 53:04
  sickle cell trait trait. Damn are.
• 53:07
  You serious? When I was young, I found out I
• 53:09
  had sickle cell trait. My mom's told me but I didn't
• 53:12
  have no knowledge of it. But when I got older, I had a
• 53:15
  child and the doctor told me my daughter had sickle cell trait.
• 53:18
  You know, the fact that both parents have sickle cell trait,
• 53:20
  there's a 50% chance the child may have the trait and 25%
• 53:24
  chance the child may have the disease.
• 53:26
  Man, that's what's the count. Do you know that 2.5 million
• 53:28
  people in the United States have sickle cell trade?
• 53:30
  300 million people globally. I didn't find out I had sickle
• 53:33
  cell trade until I was in the Army 10 years.
• 53:36
  Next thing you know, I had a sickle cell trade.
• 53:37
  Exertion site. I thought that was a black gene
• 53:41
  or something. Nah, man, the black community.
• 53:43
  Is number. 21 out of 36,000 babies are being born with
• 53:46
  sickle cell disease. You could be Caucasian,
• 53:48
  Mediterranean, European. You got rid of a bloodline, man.
• 53:54
  There is an inherited gene in our community that has been
• 53:57
  forgotten. The name is sickle cell trade.

  All right, all right, welcome back to the Frondose show right
• 54:33
  here on the Military Broadcast Radio Network.
• 54:36
  Again, I hope you've enjoyed this conversation.
• 54:38
  Very educational, information based awareness, education and
• 54:43
  prevention. There's a lot of things that I'm
• 54:45
  starting to notice as I've grown in my advocacy program and I've
• 54:51
  grown as a person in my conversations and how I talk
• 54:54
  and, you know, being now a part of the back into the Kingdom
• 54:58
  with the, as a Kingdom citizen and just my relationship with
• 55:01
  Christ and the Holy Spirit and with God.
• 55:03
  And, and I'm just starting to notice that there's some
• 55:07
  conversations that I'm, I have to articulate a little bit more
• 55:11
  effectively. And I say that because, you
• 55:16
  know, at the end of the day, we don't know when, where, why, how
• 55:22
  people die. Like I, I, I can't.
• 55:26
  And so yes, I, I, I want to share this information, you
• 55:30
  know, to help people understand, to give people information so
• 55:34
  they can make these informed choices, these informed
• 55:36
  decisions based off of the knowledge and how it relates to
• 55:41
  them and how they're, how they look at their body when they
• 55:43
  examine themselves and they go to the doctor and find out, hey,
• 55:46
  you know what, I love playing football.
• 55:49
  But based on what the doctor's telling me and my health, maybe
• 55:52
  it's not a good idea. Maybe I should go and maybe find
• 55:56
  another way to be connected to sports, maybe go and be a find
• 56:00
  another way to talk to be a connected to football or
• 56:03
  whatever that job is. Not saying that you can't do it,
• 56:07
  but it's making that informed choice beforehand, not after the
• 56:12
  fact. Right.
• 56:13
  And so for me to continue to say, you know, we are we trying
• 56:16
  to prevent these deaths. I mean, ultimately, yeah, that's
• 56:19
  that's pretty much what it is. But at the same time, I don't
• 56:22
  get a say so and how, when, where or why people die, right?
• 56:28
  And so when we do see people in the media and the news collapse
• 56:32
  and they die and, and, and they're connected to these
• 56:34
  conversations that we care about, it just reminds us how
• 56:37
  important our message is, right? And so can we prevent premature
• 56:43
  deaths? I mean, yes, if you take care of
• 56:45
  yourself. I mean, but at the end of the
• 56:46
  day, like my mom was saying, like we don't know if that's the
• 56:50
  way that person supposed to die on that football field or in the
• 56:53
  in that military training. Like maybe that's what God had
• 56:56
  for them or maybe because they're not under the, it's
• 57:00
  like, how do you determine that? Like we don't get it.
• 57:03
  I only get an opinion. I only get an opinion on the
• 57:06
  how, when, where and why people die.
• 57:10
  And so I'm starting to be responsible for my language, for
• 57:12
  how I talk of things that I say because we don't want to give
• 57:17
  false hope. We don't want to, you know,
• 57:19
  perpetuate these conversations. Like we're going to save
• 57:21
  everybody and nobody's going to have problems.
• 57:23
  And like we all have that in common that we will end up
• 57:28
  dying, you know, and maybe we will want to die too soon or we
• 57:31
  live in denial that I'm never going to.
• 57:33
  We don't die. But like, whatever that is,
• 57:35
  grief is a real conversation. It's a serious conversation.
• 57:39
  And so when we talk about these awareness campaigns and the
• 57:42
  conversations of people, these are real lives.
• 57:45
  And many people that experience rhythm, rhythm myelosis, that
• 57:47
  their whole lives have changed, their whole lives have been
• 57:49
  impacted. People with sickle cell trait,
• 57:53
  their whole life has been impacted.
• 57:55
  Mind was impacted. I'm still not this.
• 57:57
  I'm not the same person. My body is not the same.
• 58:00
  I look fine on the outside, but if I tell you what's going on
• 58:03
  with my body, with my genes, I'm, I'm in pain.
• 58:06
  And we don't want to pretend. We want to be able to speak
• 58:10
  freely and educate people, tell the truth to myself 1st and then
• 58:14
  tell the truth to others that hey, this is this is real life
• 58:18
  and these, these are the things. That's what this was possible.
• 58:21
  Not every trait person is going to have these kind of
• 58:23
  complications. Not every trait person is going
• 58:25
  to experience these kind of complications.
• 58:28
  But I do know when I came in this scene with the sickle cell
• 58:31
  community, there were some people who had sickle cell
• 58:34
  disease or anemia that had children because they were told
• 58:38
  that the child's not going to have any problems.
• 58:41
  Now, Now can you, can you, can you put yourself in that
• 58:44
  situation to then realize that you live with a type of sickle
• 58:48
  cell and then you give birth to a child who has sickle cell
• 58:52
  trait. And now sickle cell trait is
• 58:53
  possibly known for having health complications as well.
• 58:56
  Like that's a whole nother, you know, mental health aspect of
• 59:00
  this work that we haven't even touched on today.
• 59:03
  I haven't even really touched on the mental health aspect of it,
• 59:07
  right? But that's what it looks like.
• 59:11
  So there's so many conversations, there's so much
• 59:13
  information out there and it's just not, it just has not been
• 59:17
  shared effectively. And I'm here to share that as
• 59:20
  much as possible, right? So WDC on ONSCT, that's what's
• 59:27
  the count on sickle cell trade prevention.
• 59:28
  You can go there, get information right, and find out
• 59:33
  what's in your genes. If you have questions, please
• 59:36
  feel free to hit me up. I'm available from the website,
• 59:42
  social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.
• 59:45
  You can find me at Frondosie right here.
• 59:50
  So wherever you need to come ask me some questions, I'm more than
• 59:53
  welcome to help. Again, Doctor Maisha has her
• 59:56
  practice. We do.
• 59:57
  We do free consultations and then you can choose to work with
• 1:00:02
  her or not. Again, she's licensed in about
• 1:00:04
  10 or 12 different states. And so depending on where you're
• 1:00:07
  located, she could actually treat you and help you get your,
• 1:00:10
  your health in order and even work with you as a consult and
• 1:00:17
  help you provide information to your doctor, even in our sickle
• 1:00:20
  cell community, because sometimes we don't feel like the
• 1:00:22
  doctors pay attention or listen to us.
• 1:00:23
  So we can be that advocate for you with medical documentation
• 1:00:28
  from a doctor to have them, Hey, you need to go look at this
• 1:00:30
  person's blood work or you need to ask some questions to us,
• 1:00:35
  then we want to be that space to help, right?
• 1:00:38
  All right, so this is the last segment here.
• 1:00:43
  Last few minutes you saw the the social media post Life of a.
• 1:00:50
  So life of a is my series. This is something that I have,
• 1:00:57
  like I said, the single cell trait is just one aspect of it.
• 1:00:59
  You know, the military, that was my means to get to be in front
• 1:01:03
  of you today to talk about my sickle cell trade.
• 1:01:06
  But there's a whole nother side of me that I had to go through
• 1:01:11
  and and start to heal and peel these layers off to discover who
• 1:01:15
  Faron is even outside of being an advocate without just who am
• 1:01:19
  I, right? So who I am is that others see
• 1:01:23
  the greatness through myself expression that are empowered in
• 1:01:25
  their causes, also discovering their Peace of Mind in their
• 1:01:29
  language, all while being here. That's HERE, here and here HEAR
• 1:01:37
  as a listening right? And ultimately working on my own
• 1:01:42
  eternal life and salvation. So that's who I get to be.
• 1:01:44
  No identity, just who I get to be when I show up is that
• 1:01:48
  listening. And so there's a ministry that
• 1:01:50
  God has given me that I had to start to peel off and take a
• 1:01:54
  look at at age 40. And I've been going back in time
• 1:01:58
  in my heart searching these, these memories and these
• 1:02:02
  feelings and these emotion and these body sensation and this,
• 1:02:05
  this, this fear of not being good enough and not worth it.
• 1:02:08
  And all these emotional things that that I've been dealing with
• 1:02:12
  that I discovered happen to be not in my adult life, but in my
• 1:02:17
  childhood phases. So I want to share with you the
• 1:02:22
  site. We bring it up here we go right
• 1:02:28
  here, add to this page. So we're going to go there.
• 1:02:33
  We're going to go there. We're going to go there.
• 1:02:36
  All right. So this is my site.
• 1:02:41
  This is WDC, part of my WDC work.
• 1:02:46
  This is where I have my inspirational talks.
• 1:02:53
  So I, I went to God and I'm like, man, like, who am I?
• 1:02:57
  Like those five questions that you heard me ask in that, in
• 1:03:00
  that video, I was asking myself, and who am I like, why am I
• 1:03:04
  born? Why am I here?
• 1:03:05
  Like, if I have a purpose, like, what do you want me to do?
• 1:03:09
  Who am I supposed to be? And so he gave me some
• 1:03:14
  information. He gave me a conversation and I
• 1:03:18
  discovered it. And when I discovered it, I was
• 1:03:22
  like, Oh, my goodness, like, like what?
• 1:03:26
  And so there was a lot of things going on in my mind since I was
• 1:03:31
  a child, Thoughts, feelings, emotions that I didn't
• 1:03:36
  understand. And in my transition out of the
• 1:03:41
  military, the things that I were dealing with, not only did I
• 1:03:45
  figure out, you know, some identity crisis, but I also was
• 1:03:49
  able to go back to my childhood and start to reconcile some of
• 1:03:53
  these stories that I had in my mind.
• 1:03:55
  And so I have been able to go all the way back to age 2, which
• 1:04:00
  is that picture you see there and the light blue.
• 1:04:03
  That's me, the life of a 2 year old.
• 1:04:07
  And we got the life of a 5 year old life of an 8 year old, life
• 1:04:14
  of a six year old, 11 year old, 1423 and 36 as me with the Red
• 1:04:21
  Hat. And so I was able to take those
• 1:04:24
  experiences, those stories in my mind, start to unravel them with
• 1:04:29
  personal development classes, with cognitive behavior therapy
• 1:04:33
  with grief cast, grief counseling with and then
• 1:04:36
  ultimately with church and being able to find these passages in
• 1:04:40
  the Bible, in the scriptures about strongholds and
• 1:04:42
  afflictions. And you know, the fall and in
• 1:04:46
  Genesis with Adam and Eve and what God was pointing to and
• 1:04:49
  talked about that he told Adam, like, if you eat of that tree of
• 1:04:53
  knowledge of good and evil, you will surely die.
• 1:04:56
  And it wasn't just the physical death, it was an emotional
• 1:04:58
  death. And and that's what happened
• 1:05:00
  when they ate that when he ate not when, not when Eve, when Eve
• 1:05:03
  ate and nothing happened, nothing happened to her when she
• 1:05:07
  ate it. It was when he ate it because he
• 1:05:08
  was the one instructed. And when he ate that food, he
• 1:05:12
  was exposed to good and evil. And there began of the
• 1:05:16
  strongholds and, and the shame and the embarrassment,
• 1:05:19
  disappointment. And I you, you can just read it
• 1:05:21
  all through the passage and even the corrections that God put in
• 1:05:24
  place when he discovered that, Hey, where are you Adam?
• 1:05:28
  Where you at? Who told you you was naked,
• 1:05:32
  right? Those are, those are the
• 1:05:33
  passages. And so when you go back and you
• 1:05:35
  look at that and you put your life in those stories, you start
• 1:05:37
  to unravel and like, Oh my gosh, you know, I made-up a lot of
• 1:05:41
  stories in my life, about 12 to 17 or 18 stories that I made-up
• 1:05:46
  that I'm discovering are not the truth.
• 1:05:49
  They were my truth, but there wasn't the truth.
• 1:05:53
  And so I've been able to I didn't I no plans on being an
• 1:05:56
  author and I'm not even interested in being an author.
• 1:06:00
  However, God put on my heart that I can share my story with
• 1:06:04
  people. And so I was introduced by a
• 1:06:08
  gentleman. We were doing a career day
• 1:06:11
  couple years ago and he was like, hey, you, I I wrote these
• 1:06:16
  inspirational reads. He had a severe car crash, went
• 1:06:19
  off the Cliff from Mahollan Dr. and survived that car crash.
• 1:06:23
  And he put on his heart to write his story in a, in a, you know,
• 1:06:28
  short 10510 page pamphlet. And then he passed it out to
• 1:06:33
  people so they could read it. And he said that's what he did.
• 1:06:36
  And I was like, what? And so he was like, yeah,
• 1:06:38
  inspirational reads, they call them.
• 1:06:40
  And so all those ideas that I had about trying to make a book,
• 1:06:44
  I didn't want a book. And so I broke them out into
• 1:06:46
  this life of a different series. And each one of those is a story
• 1:06:51
  about my life and about that story of how I discovered where
• 1:06:55
  those decisions and where those things were coming from.
• 1:06:59
  And so when you go to that page on my website from d.com, you
• 1:07:05
  will be able to take a look and look around and see that this is
• 1:07:10
  this is this is my story, you know, the sickle cell trait.
• 1:07:14
  All that led me to discover these stories here, which are,
• 1:07:20
  you know, a testimony for sure, but they're relatable in many
• 1:07:24
  cases because this is what human beings go through.
• 1:07:27
  And so that first one of the life of a 2 year old is titled
• 1:07:30
  Disconnected with Love. That was about my mom and my
• 1:07:33
  grandmother. I just about a month and a half
• 1:07:38
  ago uprooted that 2 year old decision that I made about my
• 1:07:42
  mom and my grandmother between those two that I was unsafe in
• 1:07:45
  relationships, that I was lost in relationships.
• 1:07:47
  And that command of this, of emotional protection was I
• 1:07:50
  never, ever want to feel that disappointment at all cost.
• 1:07:55
  And and that became an identity of me as a 2 year old and how my
• 1:07:58
  mind started to survive life from those perceptions.
• 1:08:02
  A5 year old is my perception of my father.
• 1:08:06
  And then so that's 2 year old. I label that one under the
• 1:08:09
  virtues when I looked at the different virtues, I put that on
• 1:08:13
  resonated of of that initial experience as a 2 year old with
• 1:08:18
  my father, I discovered patience as a life of a 5 year old.
• 1:08:23
  The six year old was a decision I made about my peers of being
• 1:08:26
  embarrassed for, for me reading out loud with a ruler because my
• 1:08:31
  eyes would not stay on the page. And so I would, my eyes were
• 1:08:34
  fluctuating and go up and down the page and I would have to use
• 1:08:37
  a ruler on my finger. And so one day some kids in the
• 1:08:40
  background laughed and I made it mean something about myself.
• 1:08:43
  And I didn't discover that one till 40 years later.
• 1:08:46
  So you talk about 6 years old and I discovered that at 40 and
• 1:08:51
  I still been managing that decision of never being out loud
• 1:08:55
  and raising my hand. And then the latchkey kid of
• 1:08:57
  1978, that's the life of an 8 year old that connects back to
• 1:09:01
  my mom because I made-up a decision that my mom abandoned
• 1:09:04
  me. So that was my abandonment
• 1:09:06
  issues in 1978 at the 8 year old.
• 1:09:09
  But really what it was wasn't. I had no perception of time,
• 1:09:13
  that amount of time that I was home by myself.
• 1:09:16
  But there was this pain that came with the conversation.
• 1:09:18
  So I share that and that read and then we got the life of an
• 1:09:23
  11 year old. That's the walk of shame.
• 1:09:26
  I got joy out of that one because that one was so
• 1:09:29
  embarrassing and shameful that I, I couldn't even go to
• 1:09:31
  restaurants and sit down by myself, but alone, like we all
• 1:09:35
  deal with these things, right? That 2 year old was a
• 1:09:38
  gentleness, had to be gentle with my mom, be gentle with
• 1:09:41
  myself on how my perception of being abandoned or thinking that
• 1:09:44
  I was abandoned, but I never was abandoned by my mom, right?
• 1:09:48
  And so these are the conversations that when I did
• 1:09:50
  the work, these are the stories that popped up in my mind.
• 1:09:53
  And I could take that those classes and grab those stories
• 1:09:57
  and those ideas and those thoughts and those feelings and
• 1:09:58
  emotions and look at them and examine them and realize that Oh
• 1:10:02
  my God, that was a story that I made-up.
• 1:10:04
  I was embarrassed. It was shame.
• 1:10:07
  But that one, I connect that to joy.
• 1:10:10
  The day that I gave up being vulnerable.
• 1:10:12
  That was how I live in self loathing from a 14 year old
• 1:10:15
  breakup that was connected to love.
• 1:10:19
  So by the time look, I had this decision at two years old, I had
• 1:10:23
  this one that my dad didn't love me at five years old.
• 1:10:25
  I have was embarrassed with my peers at six years old and then
• 1:10:29
  I was abandoned at 8 years old. And then I had shame at 11 years
• 1:10:34
  old. And here I'm at 14 in this
• 1:10:36
  relationship with this girl in junior high school.
• 1:10:38
  And that was it, I was done. I'm not going to be vulnerable
• 1:10:42
  and that my experience was self loathing.
• 1:10:45
  But as I start to peel that layer off, I had to give myself
• 1:10:48
  some love, had to love, learn that I love myself.
• 1:10:53
  I had to measure my love for myself because I didn't love
• 1:10:56
  women, I didn't love anybody and didn't bring it and would say
• 1:10:59
  that and how I talk. So finding freedom in your
• 1:11:02
  language is how we talk. And sometimes our words is our
• 1:11:06
  own trap. And there was my words, my own
• 1:11:08
  trap, not being vulnerable. And I didn't even want to.
• 1:11:12
  I wouldn't even use the word vulnerable.
• 1:11:15
  But I connected that to love after I discovered where that
• 1:11:18
  was coming from. The day that I walked away from
• 1:11:20
  God age 23. There's a lot going on between
• 1:11:25
  14 and 23, let me tell you. And so there was a lot of
• 1:11:30
  experiences. I joined the military.
• 1:11:32
  I got married the first time. I had two daughters by 23.
• 1:11:36
  There was a lot going on. And I was in church, born into
• 1:11:40
  church at 2 years old and born at birth pretty much.
• 1:11:43
  But at at 21, I walked away because I just like just could
• 1:11:49
  not. I thought that walk God was had
• 1:11:51
  to be perfect. And so there was a lot of
• 1:11:53
  religious aspects, a lot of things that I heard didn't
• 1:11:55
  understand receiving the Holy Spirit at 16, like all that
• 1:11:59
  religious stuff. And at 23, at 21, I'm out.
• 1:12:04
  I walked away and I rediscovered that.
• 1:12:08
  And now I connected that one to faithfulness and the perfect
• 1:12:13
  morning. That was the day I collapsed in
• 1:12:16
  the military for my sickle cell trade exertion.
• 1:12:18
  And I connected that to 1 to peace and then life of the 40
• 1:12:23
  year old. This is where I started to look
• 1:12:25
  at myself and in the midst of the depression and anxiety and
• 1:12:28
  that and, and my, my spirit, God spoke to me.
• 1:12:32
  The spirit was like, hey, there's got to be something
• 1:12:33
  better, better than this. And I was about 39 and and so
• 1:12:39
  from 39 into turning almost 41 that year in 2011, I was
• 1:12:43
  introduced to those classes. And so in that phase of the life
• 1:12:47
  of a 40 year old, I discovered repentance and forgiveness.
• 1:12:52
  And that was the, the onset of how I started to deal with all
• 1:12:56
  these things going backwards from 40, right, going backwards
• 1:13:00
  from 40 to 2 years old. And then lastly, right now we've
• 1:13:04
  got the life of a 50 year old is where I discovered myself
• 1:13:08
  control right, got the conviction of the Holy Spirit
• 1:13:11
  and I started I went back to church when my dad passed away
• 1:13:14
  in 29th 2019. So I was 49 at the time.
• 1:13:18
  I was feeding my soul, but my spirit was starving.
• 1:13:21
  And so and at 50 years old, I came back to God because I was
• 1:13:25
  living like man, I don't. I'm worried about my my health,
• 1:13:28
  how much time I got left. My grandson was born.
• 1:13:31
  And so I'm worried about how old am I going to be when I die?
• 1:13:34
  How old is going to be when I die?
• 1:13:36
  And I'm and I didn't want to live like that.
• 1:13:37
  I was living just almost with with fear of that was poor in
• 1:13:41
  spirit. I was that beat attitude poor in
• 1:13:44
  spirit and I was a second beatitude.
• 1:13:45
  I was mourning. And so at that 50 I came back to
• 1:13:49
  like God. You got to I want to I want to
• 1:13:51
  find you for myself. I need to find you for myself
• 1:13:55
  and I came back to church and I've been at it the last seven
• 1:13:58
  years and six years, seven years.
• 1:14:01
  And this is this is where I'm at today.
• 1:14:04
  And so, you know, the sickle cell trade is part of my
• 1:14:07
  conversation, but this is the other part.
• 1:14:09
  And so when you look at that page, these are all of those new
• 1:14:14
  speakings that I've done. I think I'm on my 4th year.
• 1:14:18
  So I just put some of the messages on there.
• 1:14:21
  There's one about their God delivers your prayer.
• 1:14:24
  That was the one who was that's about prayer.
• 1:14:27
  Prayer. Prayer is a principle.
• 1:14:30
  Let me tell you, prayer is a principle.
• 1:14:33
  And then and then the courtroom, right?
• 1:14:35
  So I got those 2GO together, got the post office same.
• 1:14:38
  Because look, if you have your prayers are blocked because of
• 1:14:43
  your heart posture, you, you're not in here, your prayers are
• 1:14:46
  not going to get answered, right?
• 1:14:48
  Your prayers are not going to get answered.
• 1:14:49
  You will block your blessings because of your heart posture,
• 1:14:52
  right? So if you want, if you want
• 1:14:53
  prayer, go pray for somebody else first, right?
• 1:14:57
  Go ask for, go, go to somebody, ask him to forgive you.
• 1:15:00
  You know you, you know, you know who you need to talk to, right?
• 1:15:02
  Because in this part here that you ask for you pray, your
• 1:15:07
  prayer goes up, but is the moment that Satan is a device
• 1:15:11
  and say on God you can't, you can't grant for Ron's prayer.
• 1:15:13
  Look at, look what I remember that what?
• 1:15:15
  He did. So now I'm in, I'm in the
• 1:15:17
  wilderness. I'm going to test.
• 1:15:19
  I got a test. I got, I got to, I got to
• 1:15:21
  confess. You want to be tested or you
• 1:15:24
  going to confess, right? So the post office is your
• 1:15:27
  prayers are getting blocked because of your heart posture.
• 1:15:32
  So those are the messages that God has given me so far.
• 1:15:34
  And so those are all the website there.
• 1:15:37
  So you can check, take a listen to those.
• 1:15:40
  But yeah, this is one of my early ones.
• 1:15:42
  This is only on audio. The power of reconciliation.
• 1:15:46
  And then I'm at this is me at KC Radio when I came back in 2021.
• 1:15:51
  This is the old station that I was talking here.
• 1:15:53
  This is let me play this one. This one is about a minute and
• 1:15:56
  11 seconds. Let's play this one right here.
• 1:16:08
  A. Plane.
• 1:16:08
  In autopilot self corrects it's never on course.
• 1:16:14
  Live your life like the auto correcting system.
• 1:16:20
  You got that, so remember, check it out.
• 1:16:23
  No. Airplanes right?
• 1:16:24
  A plane in autopilot self correct.
• 1:16:27
  It's never on course. So when they put that plane in
• 1:16:30
  autopilot, even though it may drift off course, but there's a
• 1:16:33
  system that corrects that plane to put it back on course.
• 1:16:38
  So a plane in autopilot self corrects and it's never on
• 1:16:43
  course. Live your life like the auto
• 1:16:46
  correcting system. For me, that auto correcting
• 1:16:49
  system is now the Holy Spirit, right?
• 1:16:52
  So I believe in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
• 1:16:56
  So the Holy Spirit is my auto correcting system for my life.
• 1:17:01
  All right, so that's, that's when I was at KC radio.
• 1:17:11
  I started at KC Radio on Tuesdays and then I went to the
• 1:17:15
  Sunday nights at 8:00 PM and now I'm back on Tuesdays on KC
• 1:17:20
  Radio. So when you go there, you'll see
• 1:17:22
  that you'll see some This is me, This is a life.
• 1:17:26
  So I recorded this one in the beginning before I wrote the
• 1:17:29
  inspirational read that I had to, I had to get this out of my,
• 1:17:33
  you know, out of my mind. And so I sat with my green
• 1:17:35
  screen and I told the story of the life of a 5 year old, my
• 1:17:40
  perception of my father on how I treated my dad and then how we
• 1:17:44
  were able to reconcile. So I'm going to play a little
• 1:17:46
  bit of this for you. 1977 I was seeing my dad.
• 1:17:54
  My dad would pick me up. I would spend time with my dad
• 1:18:01
  like nothing. There was a gap from 19771978
• 1:18:10
  until 1985 where I didn't see my dad.
• 1:18:15
  That part will be in my next inspirational read, The Life of
• 1:18:21
  an 8 Year old. This one is the life of a 5 year
• 1:18:25
  old. So I see my dad in 1985 and we
• 1:18:33
  start to build this new relationship all over again and
• 1:18:37
  I'm going to his Barber shop, he's cutting my hair, I'm
• 1:18:39
  spending time, we're hanging out.
• 1:18:41
  He would say he's going to pick me up but he wouldn't show.
• 1:18:47
  I remember waiting at the corner, looking out the corner
• 1:18:53
  looking for my dad. He never showed.
• 1:18:58
  I would call him like nothing. Oh, I'll pick you up.
• 1:19:04
  He never showed. I turned 18 senior year.
• 1:19:16
  Still going to see my dad. I was able to start catching the
• 1:19:19
  bus and so now I'm leaving school early.
• 1:19:22
  I'm signing myself out the last few months of school so I could
• 1:19:25
  go down and catch the bus to spend time with my dad.
• 1:19:28
  I was destined to have a relationship with my father.
• 1:19:34
  We would go hang out, we'd go play pool, we would go to the
• 1:19:38
  movies. I mean, we would go wherever we
• 1:19:40
  could go. As an 18 year old that I would
• 1:19:43
  spend time with my dad and it was just about being around him.
• 1:19:48
  The smell of the barbershop, the smell of the Listerine, the
• 1:19:52
  smell of his concoction that he. Would cut your hair.
• 1:19:54
  After you cut your hair, he would spray the stuff.
• 1:19:58
  This like Listerine concoction that will keep your head from
• 1:20:03
  bumping up. I can hear the blades of the
• 1:20:07
  cutters, the scissors snapping as he's giving these haircuts.
• 1:20:13
  As I'm watching 21, my life is upside down.
• 1:20:26
  I just joined the military at 19.
• 1:20:30
  I got married before I joined the service, and by 21 that
• 1:20:35
  relationship was over. So my dad, we hung out that day.
• 1:20:43
  He picked me up and we went to Playa Del Rey to the spot where
• 1:20:53
  I used to, where I still go to this day to think.
• 1:20:57
  And we would go there. We would just sit and watch the
• 1:20:59
  boats and watch the people and watch the planes take off by
• 1:21:05
  LAX. And not far from there, there
• 1:21:13
  was a place that we would go in and play pool.
• 1:21:18
  So we go there, we grab the pool balls, grab a beer, grab a
• 1:21:26
  burger, and we'd start playing pool and I shot out.
• 1:21:32
  Loser pays and we would laugh because we knew this was going
• 1:21:36
  to be a game. This was going to be one of
• 1:21:38
  those games for the night. If I was.
• 1:21:43
  Losing, I would say double of nothing and he would complain
• 1:21:48
  and he would squander, but we would play double of nothing and
• 1:21:51
  I would win. Sometimes we would go play pool
• 1:22:01
  and if I was dealing with something, I would ask my dad or
• 1:22:05
  I would say, hey, you know what man I'm dealing with.
• 1:22:07
  ABC and D. And military, my divorce and my
• 1:22:15
  dad would be like, if I was you, I would do this and I would do
• 1:22:19
  this. And my skin would crawl and I
• 1:22:24
  could feel like my blood was boiling.
• 1:22:26
  And I would burst out like, you don't know.
• 1:22:34
  You never been in the military, never been married before.
• 1:22:36
  How do you know you don't know anything?
• 1:22:39
  Come on, man, I'm done. You make me sick.
• 1:22:41
  I'm tired of you. Let's go.
• 1:22:45
  And in the middle of the game, I would get angry, whiny, like a
• 1:22:51
  brat. And we would pack up the balls
• 1:22:55
  and drive. And I drop them off, upset,
• 1:23:04
  upset to the point at myself, like what is wrong with me?
• 1:23:09
  Why can't I have this connection with my dad?
• 1:23:15
  And some days the argument would last two days, two weeks, two
• 1:23:23
  years. It just depends.
• 1:23:29
  But what would happen? I'd get up enough nerve and I
• 1:23:33
  would call him back. Hey, Dad, you want to go play
• 1:23:35
  some pool? Yes, son.
• 1:23:37
  Let's go. All right, I'll pick you up.
• 1:23:41
  And I would get dressed, and I would drive my car.
• 1:23:48
  I listen to my rap music, I pick him up, he get in, I shake his
• 1:23:53
  hand, give him a hug, put some Sade on so he can get his mind
• 1:23:59
  right for the pool game. We would laugh, we would catch
• 1:24:01
  up like nothing, like a day never missed.
• 1:24:04
  Like we wasn't even ever mad at each other, or like I was never
• 1:24:09
  mad at him. And then maybe this time we
• 1:24:13
  would be fine for an hour or two.
• 1:24:17
  Or maybe I would complain about my life again and he would say
• 1:24:22
  the same thing. If I was you, I would do and I
• 1:24:25
  would be like and I would go off and all my dad wanted to was
• 1:24:37
  put. All my dad wanted to do was
• 1:24:38
  spend time with me. All he would ever say was I just
• 1:24:42
  want to spend time with my son. As you know my experience with
• 1:24:48
  the military, I was medical retired depressed from 2006 it
• 1:24:58
  started. So you can go there and watch
• 1:25:03
  that, check that out. Just a little bit of that.
• 1:25:06
  And then there's some more messages from church there.
• 1:25:08
  And again, there's a talk that I did with the guy, Andy and his
• 1:25:14
  son. Oh, that was one of that was one
• 1:25:15
  of my show, one of my show segments that I have the father
• 1:25:19
  son, son to father relationship. And he and his dad came on my
• 1:25:24
  shape. He brought his son to talk with
• 1:25:27
  me and so and peace in all of our conversations.
• 1:25:33
  And so when I look at that and I look at 8 didn't have a curfew
• 1:25:40
  basically so long my my grades are decent and there's no phone
• 1:25:44
  calls home, nothing happened. How do you feel that played out
• 1:25:50
  in your teenage years? Basically, a lot of it was just
• 1:25:56
  me surviving. And then my mother remarried to
• 1:26:00
  my stepfather, who they are still together now.
• 1:26:03
  He came in and he tried to try to make me a kid.
• 1:26:07
  And I'm like, yeah. What?
• 1:26:11
  Like curfew? Like, what's that like?
• 1:26:14
  Like not not that I. Increased dramatically, but I
• 1:26:19
  remember back in grade school, I for sure was a bit of a
• 1:26:25
  troublemaker. And there was a few moments that
• 1:26:31
  I'm not too proud of. But like, you know, and me and
• 1:26:36
  my dad have really connected the last few years.
• 1:26:41
  And before he would just get mad whenever I did a mistake.
• 1:26:47
  But now it's, you know, a little more patient like I one time I
• 1:26:55
  was with a friend and very bad influence on me and, and, you
• 1:27:01
  know, did something that shouldn't have been done.
• 1:27:04
  And so later cops arrived and were asking for me.
• 1:27:11
  And, you know, it was, it was something like the, you know,
• 1:27:16
  like not recognizing those consequences and not just
• 1:27:22
  thinking about the details. So I've, I've had like growing
• 1:27:27
  up back in grade school, a lot of friends that like were bad
• 1:27:33
  influences for me for sure. And so my relationship with my
• 1:27:37
  dad, he just told me, like, you want to surround yourself with
• 1:27:42
  people who are going to benefit you and who aren't going to
• 1:27:47
  bring you down, you know? So that that.
• 1:27:51
  That era of those times that the the little strain that was on
• 1:27:56
  your relationship with your dad was coming from you to him
• 1:27:58
  because you were the one doing all the all the stuff.
• 1:28:02
  All right. So what what was that for you?
• 1:28:07
  The strain? Was it something like if I tell
• 1:28:10
  him he's not going to trust me or listen to me or like so I
• 1:28:13
  like know I know my daughter. She's the type that'll ask for
• 1:28:16
  forgiveness later, like she'll go do it and they're like, oh,
• 1:28:19
  I'm sorry, I didn't like no, no, look like we we need to talk
• 1:28:22
  first. So like, what was that for you?
• 1:28:24
  Why you wouldn't you didn't have the dialogue skills or the OR
• 1:28:29
  the confidence to say, hey, dad, this is what I'm going to do.
• 1:28:31
  Like what was that for? You yeah, I, I, I, it's like
• 1:28:36
  very similar to that, honestly. It's, you know, like growing up
• 1:28:43
  I, I had a sort of fear, I guess if, like, if I did anything
• 1:28:48
  wrong, then like, I know for sure I'd get yelled at.
• 1:28:51
  And so I, it was just more sort of a fear then like, you know,
• 1:28:58
  and like discipline. And so all this life advice that
• 1:29:01
  I'm recognizing now, it's beneficial for me.
• 1:29:05
  Back then it was more like, right, more like, you know, it
• 1:29:10
  was I, I, I looked at it more so as discipline then actually like
• 1:29:16
  just voicing his concerns and trying, you know, like it's not
• 1:29:20
  out of like discipline. It's more so out of care and,
• 1:29:24
  you know, just making sure that like, I'm good.
• 1:29:28
  So if, if, if again, so you can go there and check those out.
• 1:29:32
  That was a great, a great talk right there.
• 1:29:34
  All right, so I'm going to get out of here.
• 1:29:36
  Then I got some more things done there you can read, but I
• 1:29:39
