- 3:59Speaker 6: my and I got into trouble as a youth because
- 4:01Speaker 6: I ran away from my house and got into a
- 4:04Speaker 6: lot of trouble, you know, and I was in and
- 4:06Speaker 6: out of jail and as a youth, and you know,
- 4:08Speaker 6: went to prison to prison twice. And you know, I
- 4:10Speaker 6: found God in prison on my second time and gave
- 4:13Speaker 6: my life to Christ. Gave my life to Jesus. And
- 4:16Speaker 6: you know, ever since then, everything that's been up. You know,
- 4:19Speaker 6: I'm working on my second book. I just finished my
- 4:21Speaker 6: second book, and I wrote the first one, which was
- 4:23Speaker 6: called From Prison to Power. You see the Prison of
- 4:25Speaker 6: Power gear that I got on. You know, God gives
- 4:27Speaker 6: us the power. I mean, the prison starts in the mind,
- 4:30Speaker 6: and God gives us the power over every aspect of
- 4:32Speaker 6: our life.
- 4:32Speaker 5: So that's what the whole prison of Power stands for.
- 4:36Speaker 4: Okay, okay, well we see you you made to do
- 4:38Speaker 4: what it do so bulliant. That is something that we
- 4:45Speaker 4: all can say we have experienced. And why did you
- 4:50Speaker 4: choose that as a concept for your book?
- 4:54Speaker 6: Because I know that, like even if you see what's
- 4:57Speaker 6: going on nowadays, you know a lot of shootings and
- 4:59Speaker 6: stuff going on in these schools, uh, kids committing suicide.
- 5:04Speaker 6: I just felt there was a need, you know, to
- 5:06Speaker 6: help help educate the youth on bullying, you know, because
- 5:10Speaker 6: I was once was a bullying in school. So I
- 5:13Speaker 6: wanted to use my experience to give.
- 5:14Speaker 5: To somebody else.
- 5:17Speaker 4: So you have this cutest little book you guys, look
- 5:22Speaker 4: at that. So ill us a little bit about coon Head.
- 5:27Speaker 5: All right, So cone Head right there? That was the guy.
- 5:30Speaker 7: Uh.
- 5:30Speaker 6: It was just me and this friend of mine in
- 5:33Speaker 6: school and we used to pick on this guy. You know,
- 5:35Speaker 6: his head was we called it cone head. It wasn't
- 5:38Speaker 6: like some shape like a cone, but to us, it
- 5:40Speaker 6: looked like a cone. So we used to call him
- 5:42Speaker 6: cone head. So every day he came to school he
- 5:45Speaker 6: had to face us, he had to face his bullies
- 5:47Speaker 6: that was calling him cone head, you know, and he
- 5:50Speaker 6: would cry and things like that, and you know, me
- 5:54Speaker 6: being sad myself inside, you know, losing my parents, like
- 5:56Speaker 6: I said, young daddy, five, mom and nine. I was
- 5:59Speaker 6: sad in it his si So you know, we used
- 6:02Speaker 6: to bully him until he did something about it.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Oh wow, So how did you writing this book cone
- 6:12Speaker 4: had How did you face because you were the person
- 6:17Speaker 4: who was doing the bullying correct?
- 6:19Speaker 5: Correct?
- 6:20Speaker 4: So how did you face yourself when writing this book?
- 6:24Speaker 4: Because I know you were writing like, dang, boy, I
- 6:27Speaker 4: did crazy thing to this kid. So how did you
- 6:30Speaker 4: face yourself in this book? Like how did you forget?
- 6:33Speaker 4: That's the question? How did you forgive yourself while writing
- 6:36Speaker 4: this book?
- 6:38Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, I know God forgave me,
- 6:41Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying from the get go, So
- 6:43Speaker 6: I know once He's forgiven me, you know, already pinting
- 6:45Speaker 6: for my sins and everything everything I did in the past,
- 6:48Speaker 6: like you said, you know, just writing a book and
- 6:50Speaker 6: just thinking about man, I was a bad kid back then,
- 6:53Speaker 6: you know, hurting somebody feelings like that, Like I wouldn't
- 6:56Speaker 6: dreaming of doing nothing like that today, And I just
- 6:58Speaker 6: can't believe I did that.
- 7:00Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it.
- 7:03Speaker 4: And I know, you know, some kids they do it
- 7:07Speaker 4: because they might be facing something at home or going
- 7:10Speaker 4: to circumstances. So some kids do it because they just
- 7:15Speaker 4: feel that they're others. None of it is a good
- 7:20Speaker 4: reason to do it. But what do we tell our
- 7:24Speaker 4: kids when it's happening to them As a parent, what
- 7:28Speaker 4: advice would you give us instead of just hey, if
- 7:33Speaker 4: it have the teacher, like we always tell our kids,
- 7:36Speaker 4: what advice would you give us as a parent to
- 7:38Speaker 4: dealing with this situation.
- 7:40Speaker 6: Well, I would, you know, first to the first the kid,
- 7:44Speaker 6: you know, to you know, to stand up for itself,
- 7:47Speaker 6: you know, and then the secondly definitely go tell your
- 7:49Speaker 6: parents you know what's going on at school, and then
- 7:53Speaker 6: your parents they gonna take it from there, whatever they do,
- 7:55Speaker 6: you know, from them.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Yes, yes, because now this bullying is and you guys
- 8:02Speaker 4: know when we speak of bullying, we're not well I'm
- 8:07Speaker 4: not only thinking in the mind of hitting or teasing,
- 8:15Speaker 4: but this bullion has gone to a whole another level
- 8:19Speaker 4: where it is now becoming cyber wise. And I remember
- 8:24Speaker 4: looking at the news on Friday while I was off,
- 8:28Speaker 4: there was a pearing who was on there and her somehow,
- 8:33Speaker 4: somehow of another was being bullied was first quote quote
- 8:40Speaker 4: in relationship with something called chat GPT. Now I've used
- 8:44Speaker 4: chat GPT before, we all have used it. But somehow
- 8:48Speaker 4: in another they still don't know how this and they
- 8:52Speaker 4: have the messages how this chat turned into speaking to
- 8:56Speaker 4: the young men as in negative terms the young men
- 8:59Speaker 4: actually killed hisself.
- 9:01Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
- 9:02Speaker 4: So how is how do we as and I'm just
- 9:05Speaker 4: speaking as parents wise, and then we'll talk about the kids.
- 9:09Speaker 4: How do we as a parent deal with our child
- 9:15Speaker 4: being the bully? First of all, what do we can do?
- 9:18Speaker 4: How do we check? We can tell our child don't
- 9:21Speaker 4: do it? But what can we do to say, hey,
- 9:24Speaker 4: what you're doing is not helping you, us, them or
- 9:27Speaker 4: no one. How can we show them what they're doing
- 9:30Speaker 4: is wrong?
- 9:31Speaker 5: I mean, I would say, definitely punish a child for what.
- 9:36Speaker 6: Take the games away, take the cell phone, really talk
- 9:38Speaker 6: to him and let him know, you know, how disaffect
- 9:41Speaker 6: other people and like bullies, it is not tolerated, you know,
- 9:44Speaker 6: and just take take consequences actions for what he's doing.
- 9:48Speaker 5: You know, let them know that's wrong.
- 9:51Speaker 4: Okay. So and now as the child, how can how
- 9:58Speaker 4: does your book sh the bully what they were what
- 10:02Speaker 4: they were doing wrong?
- 10:04Speaker 5: In my book? In my book, how it shows the
- 10:07Speaker 5: bully what they were doing wrong?
- 10:09Speaker 6: The uh the actual code head when when he told
- 10:13Speaker 6: his parents in my book and his parents went and
- 10:16Speaker 6: told it to talk to the teacher. Whatever they said
- 10:18Speaker 6: with the teacher, the teacher called me and the guy
- 10:21Speaker 6: in and we was punished for it, for our actions.
- 10:25Speaker 6: So by us being punished for our actions, that's how
- 10:27Speaker 6: we knew what it was doing wrong. That's what stopped
- 10:29Speaker 6: us from doing what we was doing in my book.
- 10:32Speaker 4: Oh all right, teacher, that's what I'm talking about. So
- 10:38Speaker 4: have you read your book to any of the little
- 10:41Speaker 4: people in your family?
- 10:44Speaker 5: I did. I did my grandson.
- 10:47Speaker 4: Oh and what was his reaction?
- 10:51Speaker 5: Oh?
- 10:51Speaker 3: That was awesome?
- 10:53Speaker 4: How old is he?
- 10:54Speaker 5: He? Si?
- 10:55Speaker 6: Oh?
- 10:56Speaker 4: That is so I he's like great daddy, you right.
- 10:59Speaker 5: There at the pictures and the illustrations. That he liked
- 11:06Speaker 5: the story.
- 11:07Speaker 4: And so that's what I was just about to actually illustrations, pictures,
- 11:13Speaker 4: the concept of the book, the title, which one of
- 11:17Speaker 4: these was the hardest to achieve, and why.
- 11:23Speaker 5: I would say the writing the subtitle?
- 11:26Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, writing the subtitle of the book was hard
- 11:30Speaker 6: to achieve. I'm trying to come up with, I know,
- 11:32Speaker 6: the cone hair apartment. I'm talking to what would be
- 11:34Speaker 6: a good subtitle for this book? So that was the
- 11:37Speaker 6: that was the hardest part, right now?
- 11:40Speaker 4: Okay, okay, So now your illustrations are very bright, very vibrant,
- 11:49Speaker 4: very I like it. It's cute. How did you get
- 11:57Speaker 4: your thoughts of what did you you that's right there?
- 12:02Speaker 4: Did you give the illustrator what the thoughts of what
- 12:07Speaker 4: each page would be or did you tell it, illustrator,
- 12:10Speaker 4: you have freaking no.
- 12:12Speaker 5: I gave him.
- 12:13Speaker 6: I wrote down everything I wanted, every page that I
- 12:17Speaker 6: wanted to the book to say, every paget to them,
- 12:20Speaker 6: and they put it how I wanted.
- 12:22Speaker 4: That's awesome. Okay, So you had your hand and every
- 12:28Speaker 4: single part of this book.
- 12:29Speaker 5: Yes, yes, it's my story. I know my story.
- 12:33Speaker 4: That is awesome. So you said that you were a bully. Yes,
- 12:42Speaker 4: have you ever been bullied?
- 12:45Speaker 5: I have been bullying.
- 12:47Speaker 4: And how did you deal with your bully?
- 12:50Speaker 5: How deal with my bulley? I told the dude to stop.
- 12:53Speaker 6: I told him to stop doing that, you know, because
- 12:55Speaker 6: I stood up for myself. So that's how I deal
- 12:58Speaker 6: my bully. When I told him to stop doing it,
- 13:00Speaker 6: he stopped doing it. I guess as long as I
- 13:02Speaker 6: allowed him to do what he was gonna do it.
- 13:03Speaker 6: Because didn't think I was gonna stand up for myself.
- 13:05Speaker 6: But I stood up for myself.
- 13:07Speaker 5: He stopped.
- 13:09Speaker 4: See, I wish I had did that. Tough my bully,
- 13:12Speaker 4: you gotta be brave. I just went straight for violence.

- 16:58Speaker 4: you guys, I said Florida Evans. And y'all remember Florida
- 17:03Speaker 4: Evans from Good Times. The reason why I chose Florida
- 17:09Speaker 4: Evans is because she was so nurturing. Even though J J.
- 17:14Speaker 4: M and Thelma and and what's the other son, Michael,
- 17:19Speaker 4: they would be going at it. She would always have
- 17:21Speaker 4: that gender side and be like, you know what such
- 17:25Speaker 4: and such and such a You're like, all right, you
- 17:28Speaker 4: sweet all right, yeah, you sweet enough, we understand. So
- 17:32Speaker 4: who would you choose?
- 17:34Speaker 5: I'm trying to think. I can't think grandma's was wrong.
- 17:36Speaker 5: I can't think of grandmother's.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Okay. Can you think of my grandfather?
- 17:43Speaker 1: Oh?
- 17:45Speaker 5: Another the top of my hair?
- 17:46Speaker 8: I can't.

- 17:55Speaker 4: I would think who you got?
- 17:58Speaker 5: What's the guy name played on lean on me?
- 18:02Speaker 4: Oh? Oh Freeman.
- 18:07Speaker 5: Yep, that's murder Freeman.
- 18:09Speaker 6: Because he was he said, like he's more strict and direct,
- 18:13Speaker 6: you know, like he gonna he's gonna teach you.
- 18:14Speaker 5: He was the teacher in principal in that in that movie.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Okay, I see you, I see where you're going, and
- 18:20Speaker 4: I see where you're going.
- 18:21Speaker 6: Yeah, they can lead with He would be directing, lead
- 18:24Speaker 6: me down the right the right path and with and everything.
- 18:29Speaker 4: Okay, okay, So now coonhead parents went to the school
- 18:36Speaker 4: and talked to the teacher. Who's Coonhead's parents you're talking.
- 18:44Speaker 5: About in the in the movie.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Let's Not Even Do movie, Let's Do Music?
- 18:50Speaker 6: Who who would be calling her parents and move in
- 18:53Speaker 6: the movie, I would say beyond saying jay.
- 18:58Speaker 4: Z problem, So why Beyonce and.
- 19:02Speaker 6: J Z because I would say them because Beyond say
- 19:10Speaker 6: it seems like she's she's more. I'm gonna say straight,
- 19:15Speaker 6: but it seems like she she's up. She's upright, like
- 19:17Speaker 6: she would raise a child in the right way. I
- 19:19Speaker 6: see how she raising her kids and stuff like that.
- 19:22Speaker 6: That's that's probably what I would say.
- 19:25Speaker 4: And so why would you say jay Z?
- 19:27Speaker 5: I would say jay Z because I don't know why
- 19:34Speaker 5: I would say jay Z.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Okay, So let's say this. Do you feel Conehead's parents
- 19:39Speaker 4: would be level headed or would they be like, oh no,
- 19:43Speaker 4: not today, not my baby? Which one do you think?
- 19:46Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 19:47Speaker 6: Yeah? And I feel that if I said ja Z
- 19:49Speaker 6: and yes, beyond say for show because I feel like
- 19:51Speaker 6: she would be that had that kind of attitude like that.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Oh, I feel she would be like that even with
- 19:57Speaker 5: her That's why I feel she.
- 19:59Speaker 4: Would okay if Okay, So, if Kohnhead's parents were cool,
- 20:07Speaker 4: if his mother was cool and calm headed, I would say,
- 20:10Speaker 4: Alicia Keys, I can see I know if they were
- 20:17Speaker 4: cool and calm head. Okay, Now, if they were mom
- 20:23Speaker 4: like one of those You ain't messing with my mom.

- 20:44Speaker 4: I No, I don't know about money.
- 20:48Speaker 5: Music, right. Yeah.
- 20:51Speaker 4: The only reason why I see that is because how
- 20:54Speaker 4: y'all I'm a big Power fan. So I'm gonna let
- 20:56Speaker 4: y'all know that right now, when Money had died trying
- 21:00Speaker 4: to protect King, that is just I see that with Conehead.
- 21:05Speaker 5: You said money.

- 22:05Speaker 5: You know, once I got out of prison, you know,
- 22:06Speaker 5: once I got out of prison. I was.
- 22:08Speaker 6: I was a godly man gave me life, the Christ
- 22:11Speaker 6: and where I'm at right now. So that's what the
- 22:14Speaker 6: second book is about. So I can, I can. I
- 22:16Speaker 6: can see that. And even I'm like, I got e
- 22:18Speaker 6: books and everything I've been righting, like you know, how
- 22:21Speaker 6: to start a run a six figure trucking company from
- 22:24Speaker 6: the ground up.
- 22:24Speaker 5: So all that's who I am.
- 22:26Speaker 6: So definitely I can reflect who I am in my
- 22:29Speaker 6: books right now am I writing?
- 22:31Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say to you, just like I said
- 22:34Speaker 4: to someone else, your past is your past, and I
- 22:39Speaker 4: can tell you it did not dictate your future.
- 22:41Speaker 5: That's right.
- 22:43Speaker 4: I see that. I see that. What is what is
- 22:48Speaker 4: the power behind the strength that you have to continue going?
- 22:54Speaker 5: But the power is God? You know, the power is God.
- 22:56Speaker 6: Be trusting in, trusting in Jesus. My mama, my mom,
- 23:00Speaker 6: you know, kept us in church, raised us up in church.
- 23:02Speaker 6: Even my aunt team when I was staying with her
- 23:04Speaker 6: before I ran away from my house, she kept us
- 23:07Speaker 6: in church. So it's the power of God that keep
- 23:09Speaker 6: me going and you know, not making me go back
- 23:12Speaker 6: the other way.
- 23:13Speaker 5: I just trusted him, keep my own God.
- 23:17Speaker 4: That is awesome, man. I see it. I see it.
- 23:23Speaker 4: I see it, and it's crazy. It's very crazy that
- 23:27Speaker 4: people who are listening. I see why they're listening because
- 23:32Speaker 4: it's easy.
- 23:33Speaker 6: It's easy to go back, man, Like, it's easy to
- 23:35Speaker 6: go back. But you know, I just keep my eye guard.
- 23:38Speaker 6: And even like when I was in prison. You know,
- 23:41Speaker 6: when I was in prison and I was got saved,
- 23:43Speaker 6: I told myself, when I get out, I'm not going
- 23:45Speaker 6: to be like all the other prisoners that get out
- 23:48Speaker 6: and they have this jahouse religion, right, I told myself
- 23:51Speaker 6: I wasn't going to be like that.
- 23:52Speaker 5: I was gonna trust God no matter what. You know.
- 23:54Speaker 6: I had some trials and tribulations, obstacles, all kinds of.
- 23:57Speaker 5: Things happen when I got out.
- 23:59Speaker 6: You know, it wasn't no peaches and cream because I
- 24:01Speaker 6: got saved that everything was gonna be good.
- 24:03Speaker 5: I had some struggles with jobs and everything.
- 24:06Speaker 6: You know, I could have easied went back to the
- 24:07Speaker 6: street and you know, got me some drugs and start
- 24:09Speaker 6: sad all the big time drug looking before before I
- 24:12Speaker 6: got saved on the prison, so I could have easily
- 24:14Speaker 6: went back to my family, got some more drugs, got
- 24:16Speaker 6: back into the street. I said, now I'm gonna trust
- 24:18Speaker 6: in leaving God and God he made away.
