• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the information to you because we definitely would love for
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you to be.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: A part of what we got going on. Y'all.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: We got a lot going on, a lot coming up
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five. I'm excited. I have an opportunity
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to work with some amazing up and coming authors that
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: are on the rise. If you have not had an
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: opportunity to get connected to the one hundred authors on
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the Move, I want to encourage you to get connected.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It is an amazing opportunity to connect with ninety nine
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: other individuals like yourself, like minded individuals that are striving
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: either they are aspiring to be an author, or they
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: have already published books and they're just looking to take
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: their authorship to the next level. This is an opportunity
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: for you, y'all. It's not a contest, it's not a competition.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: It is an opportunity to collaborate. It's an opportunity to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: gain exposure. I'm not charging you for all these different
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: things to be a part of it. I want to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: show you how you can utilize some of these free
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: offers to boost your brand, to take your brand to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the next level until you are able to afford those
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: two hundred dollars plans and those three hundred dollars plans
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: that are great plans that will help boost your brand
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and take your brand to the next level. But everybody
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: don't have that to kick out all at one time.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: So what I'm trying to do is trying to show
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you how you can utilize those free platforms work them
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: as what you know. You have to put in the work.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: That's one thing that we got to understand. See a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: lot of us what we have done, We have published books,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: we have done all these great things, and then we
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: just set it to the side and we think that now,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: oh that it's published or it's out there that it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: supposed to just make this magic happen. No, you have
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to be visible. You have to build relationships. You have
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to allow people to get.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: To know you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Like I'm telling you, and it's nothing that's made up.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: This is something that I have experienced on this journey.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I've had individuals tell me that if I printed a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: blank book, they would buy it. And it wasn't that
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: they would bind it because of the product. They was
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: buying it because I did it, and they believed in
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: what I did. And that's the type of repport that
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: we all should be building. We should be building rapport
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: with all of those that support us. You may not
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: have the followship yet, what are you doing to get people.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: To follow you? Or are you going live? Are you posting?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: You know, there's so many things out there now where
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you can set up your post. You don't have to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: be literally right there posting. You can set aside one day,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: set aside one day to say I'm gonna work on
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: content for my brand, and set that day and set
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: your a calendar, set you a to do this, set
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you something that you can check off and say, Okay,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I accomplish this. If you got to put it on
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a time schedule, say oh, I'm gonna work on Facebook
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: for an hour, I'm gonna work on TikTok for an hour,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna work on Instagram for an hour, and then
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you go through and you work everything accordingly. You have
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to be intentional and twenty twenty five, that word intention
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: was just dropping my spirit this morning, after we come
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: out of prayer and just being intentional and being about
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: those things that we have been called to do. Like
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: if you know that you've been called to do this,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: if you know that you are supposed to be a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: book reviewer, and I'm gonna say that because Patrise is
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: on here, you know that you are called to be
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a book review and you know that you are great
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: at what you do. Look, I've been I'm working trying
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to get some people to join Patrice because Patrice has
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: been doing this for a minute, and I'm just gonna
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna put her own blast this morning, because
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: she is amazing at what she does and she when
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: we first started, she had some amazing people working with her.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And it's just like everybody's just started phasing off. Everybody
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: started dropping off. You know, we get about our own agendas,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: and we get about our own thing, and we for
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: we forget about the bigger picture. But I tell you,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Patrice alone, by herself, has truly developed the book section,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the author section of the magazine. Every month, I can
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: tell you she's gonna have some quality content inside of
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the magazine. And not only that, she provides some quality reviews.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Not always reviews that you may want to hear, but
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it's reviews that will help you if you take if
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you take the criticism, if you take what she gives
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you and you utilize it, you can help take your
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: next book, or even if you decide to rewrite that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: book or even make an extension to it, because you
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: can add on to the book that you already have
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and make it something else, or you can do an
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: extension to it. Y'all, it's so many opportunities out here
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to expand your brand. Like, we can't sit and wait
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and think that our brand is going to expand or
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: people are going to get involved in the things that
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we're doing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: No, they're not.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many people tell me no every day?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But it does not stop me from doing what I do.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Like if I had waited for people to jump on
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: board and to be a part of a lot of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the things that I have done. I wouldn't have never
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: done it. I would have been still waiting for people
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to get involved. I was in a community where there
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: were no representation, no representation, and we needed it, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I just began, Me and my partner at that time,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: we just began to do things within the community, work
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: with our youth, and then we poured into our elderly.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: We got involved in our own local churches, and then
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: we got involved in the community. There were plenty of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: times that we would go sit at the city hall
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: meetings and at the county meetings and at these different boards,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: and we would be the only specs in the room
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: outside of maybe the speakers. And then I realized that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: if this is happening, if this is happening right here
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: in my small town, just imagine where else this is
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: happening at. And then you begin to hear all these
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: different stories, You begin to hear all these different things.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I never thought that in a million years
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: that I would be doing a lot of the things
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that I'm doing. Never thought that I would be the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: author of one hundred and eighteen books, journals, planners who
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: little girl from levelland South Carolina. People say where is
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: leveland in between Antraville, And I mean in between what
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Interville and Dost and in between Abbeville and Anderson.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: That's where I am.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And when I tell you, I get excited every time
• 11:57

  Speaker 2: that is a lot that a lot of us are
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: dealing with. I know that that was one thing that
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: brought some of us together to start the Grief Podcast
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: because we wanted to be able to share. We wanted
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: to be able to let people know that they're not
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: going through this alan that you know, other people are
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: dealing with this, but how we're dealing with it, how
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: we get through it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: You know, every day it's not.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: An easy day, you know, and people oftentimes don't understand
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: people oftentimes, you know, even though they may have experienced.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: The same thing. We are all different.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Our DNA has made different how we were raised to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: handle things are different.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: It's just so much that make us all different and
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: make us do things different to you know, we just
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: have to learn how to take things and take nuggets
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: that work for us and utilize them so that we
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: can keep going.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: You know, it's our There will never be a norm.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: People said, well, we try to get back to norm.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: There's not an you know, and once we grasp that
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: there is not not an on just like I was
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: telling someone yesterday, you know, we we we get so
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: caught up on time that there is really no such
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: thing as time. There's no such thing as time. Man
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: created time. So that they can appease themselves so that
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: they can keep track of thing, so that they can,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: you know, do what they wanted to do.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: But even in there, I think it's.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: In Ireland, there's a country that is dark for six
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: months and there's light for six months.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: These people can be.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Out running and thus dark because they don't know what
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: time it is. They just wanted to go run, so
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: they went and ran, and then they could be I
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: don't know, Heaven, I don't know. Something that you do
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: at night time here that you wouldn't think people would
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: be doing during a day time.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You may see them doing that over there. You know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: They say that they do what.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: They want to do when they want to do it,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: whenever they're they're the urge to do it because they
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: have six months of light and six months are dark.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: So it's hard to schedule stuff. But we have gotten
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: so consumed and so caught up with time and schedules
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: and trying to keep up with this and trying to
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: keep up with that. So sometimes it overwhams us. And
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: when it overwhelms us, guess what it does. It keeps
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: It takes us out of our spirit, and it does
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: not allow us to operate in our spirit man, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: and and and that's why we're here. But yeah, I
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: know I get to go in so y'all know, I
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: like to talk. I want to let my guests share.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna move on, lock the way and and
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: let him share.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I'm in this group with tdc J. There's some people
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: from from what's the.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Name from where you are, Connery, and they were talking
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: about some individuals that had transitioned.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: What what what.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Is going on with that? It just seems like no
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: one is addressing it. And it's just like it is
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: like it's normal, like that is a normal thing, Like
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: that is what's supposed to happen. And you know, oh
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: it's not that many, so it's okay, No, that's not okay.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a very sad situation because you know here
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: right now in the state of Texas, man, you know,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: it's thousands of thousands of people in placed in one
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: category and you've got five different categories, so you've got
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: thousands of amidiculous places in one of these categories. Now,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: you know, the transition back into society now, you know,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: and it's very stress for now because you can't come
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: you can't get back to society. You complete a program,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: but you've done already thirty years, you know, and to
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: complete every program and the system and still mad to
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: end the road. They give you other programs to try
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: to you know, rehabilitate you, to get you ready for society.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: But you know, here it is, in my opinion, man,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: those are just you know, additional programs to hold you
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: in prison a longer time. So you know, it's stressful
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: for the families because the family is a way for
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: you to come home and you are sitting in prison,
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: taking chances of losing you know, then on the opportunity
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: that you have to get.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: To the world.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: So you know, this system is so broken, man, that
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: it's hard to try to adjust to it, man, because
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: everybody's you know, trying to you know, like they go
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: home and try to do the right thing, just to
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: try to get back in the transition back into society.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: But that's it just don't seem like it's working for nobody.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: So everybody stressed out, man.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: So I have a question with this new president and
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: some of the things that's about to take place.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: So we know that Biden pardoned his son on his way.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Out, so a lot of people have a lot to
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: say about that, and I really want to know what
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: are your thoughts on that and how do you think
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: that's gonna truly affect some of the actions of our
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: newly elected president.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Okay man, Well, you know that's the that's the President Trump.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: He had parton females that got convicted under the disparracy laws, right,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: so you know people looked at that time and they
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: just kam Kadashi and played a major part.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Of that because she's do not get the permal justice reform.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: So he did that for mister for the people that
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: he did it for some muter Joe Biden's son that
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: got caught up with to become okay to So now
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: everybody should expect me as much as Joe Biden to
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: do the same thing. Pardon the time, but if he's
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: going to do something like that, he should not just
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: only partner the sun. He should fartn other people who deserve.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: You know, to be part of that. He's going to
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: do something like that.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: You know, so when when they part in people, how
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: how do people get partnered? How who determines who get partnered?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: How how do they determine that? Because I hear a
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: lot of y'all saying that y'all should not be there.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: If y'all should not be there, then why wouldn't y'all
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: be up for party? So how would one even get
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: someone attention to even consider someone for party?
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, it goes to a clancy process, ma'am, of the
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: governor or the parole board man, and the parole would
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: have to make a recommendation to the governments upon circumstances
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: of your case. You know what I'm saying, that municate
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: that you did not commit the offense, so that you
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: were you know, somehow framed or on the political forces
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: took some type of part in your case, and that
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: they could make the recommendation to the governor to grant you.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And that's the only way.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: That is that the only way, because I have to
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: cut you off because I listen to you every day
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: talk about this commissioner at in.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Texas that is over y'all parole board.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: If that is the case, this man could literally even
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: if you are eligible for a party, and he could
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: literally say no and not even put you up. So
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: how I mean it has to be another way? Like
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: it's too many holes and like Shannette need to go
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: ahead and think about running for office. I told her,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: we need to be thinking about getting in some offices.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: We need to be learning, learning some how to the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: right some bills and get some legislation class and all
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: of that, because this is really not making sense to me.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: And then it's like we just sitting by and is
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: that year at the year at the year at the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: year and the same thing at the Yeah, the year
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: at the year.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, speaking of that land, that's exactly what I'm doing,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: dis running, man, I am rewriting the laws that it
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: takes the boat to board the paroles because I have
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: spet parole board since nineteen seventy eight.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Ma'am.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I have been starting the parole laws since coming into
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: prison systems.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: So I have just realized, man, but the tip system
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: is not a but a judicial scam because the parole
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: board system is is a governed vibe.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: The judicial gradtic government. But the parole board system under.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: The executive grant of government has now operated it pass
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: the judicial grant of government because the parole boards district
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: attorneys the one of his genitis on the plole board
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: decision process. There's no way possitive that anybody coming.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: Up with the board can get a very decision.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Now, Okay, here's an example.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I explained my situation to the same commissioner who has
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: denied me to dis released right now, and he said,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: don't worry about what we're doing the buy. There's just
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: worry about what we do with you. I said, okay,
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: So if that's possible, well he has I've already done
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: twenty eight years. Well he has held me another five
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: years since me have to see him again. But now
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: he's trying to hold me another sixteen more months just
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: to make them over chin and dissent back into scat
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: after showing him that I have been deliberately framed by
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: the system, but he's refusing to make this at that
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: five money really release?
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: So really, man, my system.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Is basically a sham because we are governed b and
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: in beggible now a system and we.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Don't have no process of like an oversight.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: If you committee to oversee the decision. Wow, because they
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: are under executive branch of government. You cannot sue the
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: executive brands of government, nor can you challenge their decisions.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: So this is why they do not want no oversight
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: if you committed to review what they do. You know
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: you he made an article in your A spine office
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: magazine regard into the points system and you ask the
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: question who authorized the parole board to block out the
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: point the points system on the ministry? Well, ma'am, that
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: answers a lot of the question has not been answering
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: to the statement. And you still got thousands of thousand
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: people being denied paroles every day because of that scamp
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: right there, when in fact your punt system governs you
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: to be released based upon your rehabilitation.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: So with that being said, man, you know, we appreciate
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: you all being a voice for us on mouth side.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Man, and I like to say, right front office, that
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: would be good.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: We would love to see you and be the sitting
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: there run up an office because we need people with
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: a powerful voice to show that, you know what the
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: problem is bigger than just you know, talking about a man,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Dady Man, it's bigger and we wish we could get
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: people like to run up our offices because we need it.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Math Well, hopefully we can do something. I don't know,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna keep talking, We're gonna keep sharing on
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: this podcast. We're gonna be keep trying to be a voice,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: but family members gonna have to be a voice too.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna take a lot of us. They
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: always say the loudest, the loudest wagon, I always get
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the most attention. Ain't it coming down down the road.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: So we're just gonna have to keep making a lot
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: of noise. And it's gonna take a lot of us

• 34:24
  Speaker 2: overly incarcerated.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: They families need to be speaking.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Out that that should be There should be no quiet,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: phones in in the in the house, that should be
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: no they laptop should be open and writing. I mean,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: it's always something that can be done on their behalf.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Like I want to do so much, but I'm all
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the way over here. I can do so much, because
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you know, every time I've called down there, it's always
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: been the same thing.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: They always give me to run around.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: They always put me through to somebody else, They always
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: put me on hold and they hang up.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: It was always something like, if.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: If I was in there area I'm talking about, will
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: knock these people doors down. They would get tired of
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: seeing me. They really would get tired of seeing me,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: because you got to be a fly on the wall
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: until change come. You just can't just just do a
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: couple of things, do a couple of podcasts, do a
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: couple of articles, do a couple of notes, and then
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: think that you know, things supposed to change. No, that's
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: not gonna happen. You need thousands of thousands people coming together.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: We need protests. People need to get back to protests,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: and they need to get back to march, and they
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: need to get back to meeting in front of these
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: people offices. These people don't got so comfortable with what
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: they're doing. They lot of gag in and out of
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: their office because ain't nobody, ain't nobody protesting that they office,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Ain't nobody making no noise, ain't nobody bringing no attention
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: to them. So they doing what they want to do.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: But when you start bringing noise and attention to them,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you they'll line up, they'll get in place,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: they'll do what they're supposed to do.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Okay, So that's a good Because I was looking at
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: the podcast called the Prison show. Okay, I want the
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: prison So the months couple of years back, like these addigitals,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: they bring.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Wrong people from the parole board, the.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: People from the Texas and these families, so.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: All these different advocates and they talk about Texas's criminal
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: justice systems and.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Stuff like that. And here it is.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Last night I was listening to them and they was
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: sending shout outs to people that's on death row and
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: talking about decisions made by different court systems and stuff
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: like that. So I'm asking myself, a few in the
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: digitals over here on the prison show talking about different
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: issues that's seven all.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: About the criminal justice, prison systems and decisions and tenagers,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Why are we.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Not talking about how we got here in the first place,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: while we're.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Not talking about the corruption, while we're not.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Talking about the second field, while we're not talking about
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: the law parties, while we're not talking about the awful
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: convictions of these kids. How to do forty years to
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: prison people being elder before parole and they've never been
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: given a competency here and to determine if they have
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: any mental issues and stuff like that, while we're not
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: talking about these issues. You know, this is the problem
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: with them. They're sitting back waiting and waiting every two years,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: just for the laws to come up so that they
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: can get out in the spotlight, ma'am, and just get
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: recognition just by having a title called the prison, so
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: the Texas and make STI Association, the.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Texas Community Prison.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Alliances and stuff.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: But that's it. Because I haven't written a level to
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: each one of these individuals who told them about the
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: criminal justice system reform. They have not responded to me yet.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: And that's the problem.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I don't have nobody to stand up for us.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Wow wow, wow wow.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I tell you, it's always something. It's always something. But
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Shannette do her best. I do my best, and I say,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: all we can do is keep putting, putting our feet
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: to the plow and just keep going. That's that's all
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: we can do. Keep writing and keep making noise, and
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: keep praying and hope that you know, somebody, somebody may
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: see these podcasts, that somebody may pick up the magazine,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: that somebody may you know, here's something that we're doing
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: and want to be a part of it. I think
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: a couple of people got some change dot org forms
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: out just just trying to, you know, bring awareness to
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of the things that's going on. But Cornett,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I thank you for coming on and sharing with me.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I take every chance I get to highlight
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: y'all to bring awareness to what's going on, because before
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't know all this was going on. But now
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: that I know, I can't sit quiet, I can't not
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: do nothing about it. And again I thank God for
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Chanette for all that she does with bringing awareness and
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: being a voice, because oftentime we think that we don't
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: have a voice and we'll sit and we won't utilize
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: our voice. So I thank God for her because she's
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: definitely bringing awareness to other people's cases. I'm reminded about
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: a statement that our apostles share with us quite often,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and she's I forget if it's a scripture or not,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: but she says, what we do for others, God would
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: do for us. So when people ask me why I
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: do what I do and how do I do what
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I do, well, first of all, I work thento the Lord,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: and then I don't do it for me. I do
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: it for the building of the kingdom because I know
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: that if I do what I'm supposed to do and
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: if it helped bring somebody home, then they'll be back
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: out in society to be able to be a productive citizen.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: They'll be able to share their testimony, they'll be able
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: to impore into somebody else, and hopefully they'll.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Be able to teach one reach one. So that's why I.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Am with that beautiful something very serious in real estate.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Right, there'll be made man because you know.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: I'm a co host. Finally let's talk about it. And
• 40:06

  Speaker 4: me and out. You know, I appreciate my host, Mississiett Johnson.

• 40:20
  Speaker 4: earth and you know, the one thing we can say
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: about us that she won't stop. She will not stop
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: at all and nothing to bring a to us to
• 40:28
