Trench Talk w/ Farron Dozier, SFC, RET 11 Dec 24 · Military Broadcast Radio | MBR Talk

This entire military is 1 cohesive dedicated force and the
0:07
threats to our nations, they don't sleep.
0:10
They're watching our every move. Iran, Russia, China, North
0:16
Korea, ISIS, Al Qaeda, they may be watching this right now.
0:23
Our military should not be mistaken for our cable news
0:26
gadfest show. We don't care what you look
0:29
like. We don't care who you voted for,
0:32
who you worship, what you worship, who you love.
0:35
It doesn't matter if your dad left you millions when he died
0:38
or. If he knew who your.
0:39
Father was we have been honed into a machine of lethal moving
0:46
parts that you would be wise to avoid if you know what's good
0:49
for you. We will not be intimidated.
0:52
We will not back down. We don't want war, but if you
0:59
want war with the United States of America, there's one thing I
1:02
can promise you. So help me God, someone else
1:05
will raise your sons and daughters.

1:26
dot US. Some of us still carry the
4:05
burden of battle. It threatens to drown us in our
4:09
everyday lives. In battle, we had our weapons
4:12
and combat gear to keep us safe, to keep us confident, but when
4:17
we returned home, we were not armed with weapons and gear to
4:20
cope with our own minds. I was lucky to find my combat
4:24
gear, my mental weapon and it's called Kamago.
4:28
Kamago is a drug free device that allows you to achieve calm
4:31
in less than 3 minutes and moments of anxiety, stress,
4:36
anger, panic or insomnia. Not with medication, but rather
4:40
by activating the parasympathetic nervous system
4:43
through breathing regulation and multi sensory stimulation.
4:46
A recent study has shown that Comago decreases PTSD and
4:50
anxiety levels in Veterans, helping those who are suffering
4:53
and having a long lasting effect.
4:55
Visit comago.com to learn how you can get Comago through the
4:59
VA or with a special Veterans discount code.
5:19
Hey, what's up man? How you doing?
5:20
I'm. Blessed my brother, I'm.
5:22
Good, man. I'm good.
5:22
Hey Did. You see the game last night.
5:24
I was your game, but did you see the?
5:25
Shot. I lost money from that.
5:28
Oh man, that shot was. Old man, but it was good.
5:32
Yeah. What's the name?
5:35
Jeez, you really want to know? I do.
5:45
Exhaustion, muscle spasm, Asthmatic issues, unexpected
5:49
sickle cell trait Triton. Are you serious?
5:53
When I was young I found out I had sickle cell trait.
5:56
My mom's told me but I didn't have no knowledge of it.
5:58
But when I got older I had a child and the doctor told me my
6:00
daughter has sickle cell trait. Do you know the fact that both
6:03
parents have sickle cell trait? There's a 50% chance the child
6:06
may have the trait and 25% chance the child may have the
6:10
disease. And that's what's the count.
6:12
Do you know that 2.5 million people in the United States have
6:14
sickle cell trait? 300 million people globally.
6:17
I didn't find out I had sickle cell trait until I was in the
6:19
Army 10 years. Next thing you know, I had a
6:21
sickle cell trait. Exertion site, April.
6:24
I thought that was a. Black gene or something?
6:26
Nah man, the black community is number 21 out of 36,000 babies
6:30
are being born with sickle cell disease.
6:32
You could be Caucasian, Mediterranean, European.
6:34
You got rid of a bloodline man. There is an inherited gene in
6:40
our community that has been forgotten.
6:42
The name is sickle cell trait. WDCONSCT, also known as What's
6:47
the Count, is out to bring awareness, education and

7:31
I want to thank you for tuning listening today.
7:34
Today we just have a couple of things we want to go over with
7:38
you as far as reintroducing us back into the community here as
7:43
the show Trench Talk. Again, we appreciate the
7:47
military Broadcast Radio network for giving veterans a voice.
7:52
Such a great platform for for my brothers and sisters to come
7:57
here and find their voice. A lot of times we are looking
8:01
for what's next, right? And for me, how I got to be in
8:06
front of you came from being on an old platform called Block
8:10
Talk Radio, right? So just to be able to figure out
8:15
what's next, find our voice. Yes, we all have something to
8:18
talk about. We all have things that we want
8:20
to say. But how do we do that in a
8:24
place, you know, where there's so many different platforms,
8:29
right? And this one here is dedicated
8:31
and catered to our veterans, veterans, our first responders,
8:35
their family members. So make sure you check out NBR
8:42
Radio dot US. That's NBR Radio dot US so you
8:46
can get a sense of what's on the platform and what we're all
8:49
about. You can catch me Sunday nights
8:55
at 8:00 PM on KCAA Radio One O 6.5 FM and 10:50 AM in the

Inland Empire. You can also find me on the
9:04
Revolution Radio show on GH3. Guys has a hip hop powered by
9:08
Lit live. Used to be Dash radio, now it's
9:11
lit live. I do a Christian hip hop talk
9:14
show over there with my guy A one way TK shouts out to J Love.
9:20
That was originally his platform, but he has left it to
9:24
us temporarily to utilize it. And so we've been having some
9:29
great guests there, some great interviews, some Christian hip
9:31
hop artists telling their stories, their back stories.
9:35
And so that has that platform is also amazing to be a part of as
9:40
well. But yeah, I don't really have
9:42
too much to discuss today. I just want to touch on some key
9:46
points of what I'm up to just so that you can get a sense of when
9:52
you see trench talk or you see my face.
9:56
I want you to think about one of these areas that are important
9:59
to me. And if you want more information
10:04
about the stuff that I'm up to, you can go to for on d.com.
10:07
I don't know why I don't put all those up there, but I got for on
10:09
d.com if you want to find out more information about that,
10:13
definitely, I have a link tree like most of us, so you can go
10:18
to my link tree as well for on Dozier.
10:21
What else? Let's see current events this
10:27
weekend. I also, I also own a member of
10:31
the American Basketball Association.
10:33
That's the ABA for you old timers.
10:36
Yes, it used to be the NBA and the ABA.
10:39
However, the ABA has been around since about 2009 and they are
10:50
have been launching franchises across the country.
10:52
Put it that way, 150 to 200 teams across the country.
10:56
And yes, we are a part of that conversation.
11:01
The Ventura County Orcas, that is my team, one of my teams and,
11:07
and our, our mascot is the Orcas, right?
11:12
And so doing my research and just, you know, studying our
11:17
mascot and and bringing awareness to different
11:20
conversations, I found that the orcas that mean there aren't, I
11:25
knew they were endangered, but I didn't really understand, you
11:29
know, well, why are they in danger?
11:31
Let me look. You know, this is our mascot.
11:32
We want people to understand. We know why we chose this mascot
11:36
and what we're doing with this mascot as the killer whale.
11:39
Most people think it's a whale. It's not a whale.
11:41
It's in the dolphin family. So when I did my research on the
11:46
orcas, I, I guess I could say I kind of understand what a person
11:54
who advocates for like, like vegans and animals and plant,
12:03
you know, all those different conversations.
12:05
I guess I could, I get a sense of what that is for them.
12:08
Because when I saw that one of the reasons why the orcas are
12:14
endangered, one of the reasons is their food supply.
12:19
And so when you look at the food supply of the orcas, what do you
12:24
think it is? Salmon.
12:30
Now, I don't know about you, but I have learned to like salmon.
12:37
And so that is one of the my food choices as a healthy
12:40
choice. Of course it's, it's healthy,
12:44
but that is what the orcas eat. So could they be in danger
12:50
because of the food supply that we're eating their food?
12:56
That's tough. So now I'm, I'm, I'm torn.
13:00
I'm torn because I don't, I don't want to eat their food
13:04
supply, but yet I want to advocate for the species because
13:12
they're endangered. I believe they're 92 on the West
13:16
Coast. So how do we, how do I do that?
13:21
How do I manage, you know, being an advocate for an animal that I
13:28
also am taking care of and being responsible for?
13:35
Yeah, I'm torn. And the other food, the other
13:39
food for the orcas is the cod. Now, if you know cod, you would
13:46
probably know that that's served in a lot of restaurants as well.
13:50
When you talk about eating fish and chips, you heard that you
13:55
had you seen that on the menu, the fish and chips, the fish and
13:58
chips is usually associated with cod.
14:04
So it's like, man, how, how do we how do we deal with that?
14:07
How do I manage that? I'm I'm towing right now.
14:10
If you have any kind of help, let me know.
14:18
Shoot me a message in the comments, respond to the show.
14:21
But I'm going to do my due diligence.
14:23
I'm going to be responsible, make people aware that that was
14:28
the number one issue with the endangered species of the orcas
14:33
is their food. What animals do you care about?
14:41
Are there are there any other animals out there that you care
14:43
about? I have a few more.
14:48
I'm not going to talk about those right now because we're
14:49
actually planning to do some awareness in the community
14:54
across the country, nationally and internationally.
14:58
So just look for the orcas. When you see that endangered
15:02
species and you see that orcas logo, just know that that is us
15:08
and that we are out to take care.
15:11
OK, Where's my orcas logo? There it is right there.
15:13
You see the orcas logo up there? That's our ABA Orcas logo, and
15:19
we will be taking care of that. All right, what else?
15:27
Let's see. Last Sunday, I was able to
15:30
speak. I'm also a youth speaker at my
15:34
cousin's church, New Earth Christian Church called the
15:37
Tennessee and last Sunday I was able to share an aspect of this
15:44
conversation around parents and children as far as you know this
15:53
this the love of God right and one of the passes that I spoke
16:01
from was called the probably heard the story about the
16:04
prodigal son. If you not familiar make sure
16:07
you look up the prodigal son. It is a very, very impactful
16:13
scripture passage in the Bible. It starts in Luke 15.
16:19
And I have, I have since broken that passage down and then about
16:27
3 different conversations, I think maybe almost 4 now around
16:34
the passage. And the characters of the
16:37
prodigal son got 3 characters. You got, you got the son who
16:44
took his inheritance and then you have the brother who stayed
16:48
home, right? And in each one of those
16:51
aspects, I shared how some of us are the brother who stayed home,
17:00
right? Because if you read that
17:01
passage, the brother was very upset with the father when the
17:05
son decided to come back home because he felt like, why?
17:09
Why haven't you done this? You haven't given me a party.
17:12
Like, why haven't you celebrated me?
17:13
I've been here with you this whole time, working with you and
17:16
being here. I didn't take my inheritance and
17:18
leave. But did that brother ever go
17:21
look for his other brother? Are some of us so prideful, so
17:28
arrogant that we feel like we're better than the other person?
17:34
You know that happens with siblings, right?
17:39
You know that happens with siblings, family members.
17:44
It's that story gay love. See that story gay love with
17:47
family members? It almost feels like it comes
17:50
with an obligation. It's called story gay love.
17:59
It's for family, siblings, and if you look in your own life,
18:05
you could see that it almost feels like obligation.
18:11
Like I'm supposed to be there for you.
18:13
I'm supposed to hang out with you.
18:17
I'm supposed to do this for you. If I see you broken down, if I
18:20
see my sister broken down on her freeway, would I just pass her
18:23
by like a stranger? Would I stop and help her?
18:26
If I see my family member broken down, would I stop?
18:30
Some people don't want to stop. Just tell the truth.
18:34
Some people would just keep on going.
18:39
But I believe it shows up even more so when it comes to grief.
18:44
And we, we see people point to well, why does, why does we
18:49
only, why do our family only come together when there's a
18:52
funeral? Why do we only come together
18:55
when somebody dies? Well, guess what?
18:58
That's actually when your family's supposed to be there.
19:00
In the hard times. In the hard times.
19:07
But is a hard time only a funeral?
19:10
No. So there seems to be something
19:15
in the way of those relationships.
19:19
And so when I shared this past weekend about the project Go
19:23
Sun, one of the main things that was important was to show how
19:33
the father and we're talking about the the parent now.
19:38
And if your father or you're a parent, you know how much you
19:40
love your child and children. Maybe you don't think your mom
19:44
dad loves you the way that you think that they should love you.
19:48
But I'm here to tell you, when you peel off all those layers,
19:52
you remove those wedges that you have up against your parents,
19:56
whether it's your mom or dad or both, when you remove that
19:59
wedge. You will come to yourself and
20:02
see that your parents do love you.
20:05
They did love you this whole time, even when you took your
20:10
inheritance and left. What was your inheritance?
20:15
What what made you leave when you we all left the house for
20:19
some particular reason. Some of us were our
20:23
independence, some of us wanted our privacy.
20:28
Some of us felt like it was time for me to be on my own.
20:33
A lot of us left for reasons that were upset it wasn't on.
20:38
OK, Like, I'm ready to move, Mom.
20:39
I'm out, Dad. No, it was more like, hey, get a
20:43
job, go to school or get out. But why is that?
20:51
Why is that? Well, you have to answer that
20:56
for yourself. I can't tell you why.
20:59
I don't have all the answers, but I know where I left.
21:02
I took my inheritance because I wanted my privacy.
21:08
I wanted to be independent. I wanted to take stuff on my
21:11
own. At least that's what I thought.
21:14
I tell that story is like, you know what?
21:15
I should have stayed home until at least 25, maybe even 30.
21:19
I should have stayed home, but I left early. 817 eight No 1819
21:31
And so you have to look in your life, you have to talk and
21:36
figure out, talk to yourself and figure out what was your
21:38
inheritance? Why did you leave the house?
21:41
Some of us left the house and went straight into the Army.
21:44
Yep. I waited a year after I
21:46
graduated high school. So we all have these reasons why
21:52
we take that inheritance and we tell our parents, I'm leaving.
21:56
Guess what? Independence is not freedom.
22:01
Independence is not freedom. You will discover that you had
22:04
to pay bills. The rent that you was paying
22:07
with your Mama or your daddy was probably way cheaper than you
22:10
had to pay in an apartment, plus gas and electric.
22:12
And you want cable. You want all these things?
22:15
Yeah, but we want that. What is that?
22:18
There's something inside of us that wants that.
22:21
We want our own stuff to dominate our own stuff to our
22:25
own world. It's a human being issue.
22:31
We all want that. We're designed for that.
22:37
But what has us leave with such upset and frustration?
22:41
And that's the key right there. So when you read that passage,
22:48
it's like regardless of what the son did, took his money, took
22:53
his inheritance, blew it all, ended up in the pig pen, eaten
22:57
pig food. And then one day he came to
23:01
himself, came back to his father.
23:04
His father saw him and was like, Oh my God, my son, he's not
23:08
dead, he's alive. And he embraced his son, got him
23:16
a robe, got the fattest calf, had a celebration that his son
23:20
had returned home. Some of us don't feel like we
23:29
can go back to our our parents house after we left.
23:33
Because of what? Maybe because of the reason why
23:36
we left. Maybe because of the reason why
23:43
that we left is why we can't go back.
23:47
You see, sometimes when we make decisions in life based off of a
23:50
reason, you end up defending that reason.
23:57
It's not the decisions that we make, it's the reason why we
24:00
make that decision. And if that decision doesn't pan
24:03
out the way or play out the way that we thought it would play
24:06
out, guess what happens? I'm now disappointed.
24:12
My expectations have been thwarted.
24:16
I'm disappointed and not disappointed in the decision per
24:21
SE or the outcome of that decision, but I'm also
24:24
disappointed in myself. I'm also disappointed and
24:28
diminished of myself. Oh man, why did I do that?
24:33
Why did I make that decision? And then it becomes challenging
24:38
to make another decision because now I'm making a decision on top
24:42
of a decision and for a reason that didn't happen how I thought
24:44
of. And now it's like I'm just stuck
24:46
in the rock between the heart and the heart place.
24:50
You know how you language it? We all language it to describe
24:57
where we're stuck, but my point is, with that scripture and that
25:05
lesson that I taught on Sunday, I was blessed to be able to
25:07
deliver that message is the love of our Father.
25:15
How can you love your Heavenly Father when you have a alt with
25:18
your earthly father or mother? You see how you can carry that?
25:29
And so that father embraced his child.
25:35
And I'm sure if you took time to talk to your parents, they would
25:40
embrace you back too. See, we may not understand why
25:45
our parents did what they did or why we felt like they did what
25:49
they did to us or didn't do for us.
25:52
Maybe you got to go find. Out.
25:53
Maybe you got to ask some questions.
25:54
Maybe you got to set your pride aside.
25:56
Maybe you got to go find out what it was like when your
25:58
parents grew up with your parents, parents with your
26:00
grandparents, What was going on when you was born.
26:07
But you see, sometime as children, our perception gets so
26:10
corrupted because we're developing.
26:14
We were all somebody's child. Your parents was somebody's
26:17
child, your grandparents, grandparents, great, great.
26:20
Like we all came from a family environment.
26:24
And sometimes. The way that our parents behaved
26:27
is because of how they were raised or wasn't raised.
26:35
But underneath it all, again, the way that that father
26:38
embraced his son in the prodigal son story, it shows the love of
26:47
a parent. So it's up to you.
26:53
To restore that love, sometimes it's sometimes it's up to you as
26:55
a child to go back to that parent and be like, hey dad, let
26:58
me find out what's going on. I kind of want to be mad at you.
27:02
I love you. Let me find out what's what was
27:04
going on. What was life like before you
27:06
growing up before I came on the scene.
27:10
Talk to your mom. You'll be surprised how you can
27:14
restore that relationship. That passage ultimately for me
27:20
is how God shows love for us. OK, you can check that out.
27:27
It is on my YouTube page and it's also on the New Earth
27:32
Christian Church, the ministry page.
27:34
It's on their YouTube for services as well.
27:37
All right, so this is trench talk.
27:41
That's our most current events right there.
27:43
I'm going to play some PS As and come back to you, and then we'll
27:48
get into some more of our topics around Trench Talk.
27:52
All right, again, we appreciate you tuning in, listening in.

platforms you get your your shows from, we're on there as
32:45
well. So make sure you catch, catch it
32:47
after on the repeat. All right, so I want to talk
32:51
about this first, this next few minutes about what I'm up to in
32:55
the community. This is one of my major, major
32:58
topics. Sometimes it feels like I'm
33:00
trying to get away from it, however, I'm not.
33:04
I do have a lot of work to do around this conversation.
33:07
As you can see in the background.
33:09
That is my logo for my sickle cell trade awareness.
33:14
This is my life purpose. When you talk about purpose,
33:18
passions and gifts and talking about finding out what's your
33:20
what's next, This is my what's next and I want to show you the
33:26
website. So in case you want to find out
33:28
more information, you have questions, you may need to show
33:31
this to somebody or you may have sickle cell trade and may not
33:34
know there are risk factors around it.
33:37
So I am going to bring up this website here and just give you a
33:45
little quick tour of what it looks like.
33:48
All right. So very, very important.
33:55
I can tell you that the. Army is now testing for sickle
33:58
cell trait. Before, they were testing for
34:02
the anemia, however, with a lot of conversations and a lot of
34:07
research. They have discovered.
34:10
That it is important for them to find out what's causing some of
34:15
us with sickle cell trait to have these health complications.
34:20
Not everybody will have complications, but for some of
34:24
us we have. And so when you come to the
34:29
website at WDCON set.org, you can definitely contact me up
34:34
there with my phone number for the nonprofit.
34:38
You see the tabs across the top. We'll, we'll click on the couple
34:41
of those in the second, but this first page you will see my PSA I
34:48
created that, that PSA came to me in 26.
34:51
No, I, no, I take them back. It came to me in about 20,
34:55
probably about 2011. And just an idea about doing
35:01
something, the public service announcement.
35:04
At a bus stop and. Having people share their their,
35:07
their, their stories, their risk factors about their experience
35:10
with sickle cell trade. And actually I haven't
35:12
accomplished it. In 2016 in my personal
35:15
development class, I searched my heart to find out what, what did
35:20
I want to accomplish? And I put it like I put it on
35:23
the mental shelf and my PSA popped up.
35:27
And so I was able to. Find.
35:32
The people. People have already met.
35:35
Actually had interviewed the both of them already and then
35:40
wanted them to be a part of that public service announcement.
35:42
So I reached out to them, found the bus stop and got my friends
35:47
together and we. Went on a Sunday.
35:51
And recorded it right there on the streets of LA Very proud of
35:56
that. What's in your jeans is my
36:00
conversation. Because the brand is what's the?
36:04
Count WDC. And so when you go to that
36:07
website, you when you click on that, you'll actually see that
36:09
plane in the background. You'll see some tabs here and
36:14
then you will see. Another.
36:17
Video Now this video that you see is me at Camp Roberts where
36:23
I collapsed at. So I've been going to Camp
36:26
Roberts for the last eight years, sharing my story to all
36:30
the soldiers that come through there for the OS, NCOES schools,
36:34
mechanic schools, that whole training site.
36:40
Sometimes there's three. Three classes there.
36:43
Sometimes there's 4050 people there, sometimes there's 10 or
36:46
12 people there, 20 people. So I pretty much arranged it to
36:50
where I get the bulk of the classes and I go up there, do
36:54
that presentation and in our drive back home, if you'd like
36:59
to support that, there are links and tabs on the website that you
37:03
can support that. I travel to Camp Roberts about
37:06
10 times a year. And.
37:10
I'm very, very, very impactful, very important because we want
37:16
people to be able to understand that there are risk factors.
37:24
So I tell my story of how I collapsed up there and what I
37:28
went through. And then we give them some basic
37:31
facts about what sickle cell trade is.
37:35
And you would be surprised that some people come through there
37:41
not knowing about this information or having the trait
37:47
and not knowing about that information, right?
37:50
And so you may think that oh, sickle cell trait, that's not
37:52
important. Well, you know what, it might be
37:54
important because you might be that person to help save that
37:57
person's life in case something happens, right?
38:01
So we want those soon to be staff sergeants and Sergeant
38:05
first classes and mechanics to be aware that in case one of
38:09
their fellow soldiers goes down from exercising or over exertion
38:14
that they could help possibly take care of that and save that
38:17
life. So it's not just for.
38:20
The people who have the traits, but it's also for their.
38:24
Fellow soldiers so. That they can be aware this
38:27
knowledge could help save that person's life.
38:32
And then that breakdown, the community awareness about sickle
38:35
cell trade. It's a public health issue.
38:37
It is a public health issue because people are dying and
38:41
collapsing from all walks of life, not just military and
38:45
athletes, but all walks of life that people have these
38:48
complications. I'm grateful because of Denver.
38:53
This platform is based out of Denver and Denver is one of the
38:57
places that's not good for a person with a sickle cell.
39:00
Trachorin inherited gene. Because the elevation, the level
39:04
of oxygen is, the air is thin up there, right?
39:08
So. That may not be a nice place to
39:10
hang out on vacation, especially if you do any athletics or
39:16
mountain climbing or skiing. You got to be aware, right?
39:19
And that's pretty much what we talked about that awareness.
39:24
Most people don't know, but no one out of 13 African Americans
39:29
have sickle cell trait. And why we're number one is
39:32
because it combats malaria, right?
39:35
So. The story behind it?
39:37
Is in parts of Africa where malaria is present.
39:43
When people got malaria, they would die, so the body created
39:46
this defective gene so that they could survive malaria.
39:51
Right, so we're #1 because. If you look at Africa, the
39:54
population, that's where my ancestors are from and malaria
40:00
is present there. So that gene was inherited and
40:03
passed down through my ancestors to me.
40:09
Because of malaria was in our in our culture.
40:14
Now why do I have it? But for this reason that I'm
40:18
talking to you, I discovered that this is the reason why that
40:21
I have this in here to gene and I am here to deliver some
40:26
messages around it. OK.
40:32
Some more. Key points to this conversation
40:36
is that it's inherited. It's not contagious.
40:41
Most people think it's contagious.
40:43
It is not contagious. Most people think it's skips
40:48
generation. Is does not skip generations.
40:51
There's a 25% chance that if both parents have sickle cell
40:54
trait that that child can inherit sickle cell disease. 50%
40:59
chance. If the one parent has the the
41:02
trait that the child will inherit that disease as well.
41:07
Also here in August in my community, August is Sickle cell
41:14
Trait prevention month. So that's me in this video of me
41:18
going to the mayor's office and me talking about my story.
42:03
So that is the video. There.
42:07
Definitely. Important.
42:09
I'm very grateful for the mayor to allow me to do that.
42:12
Public service announcement. What else?
42:18
You can go there. There's a survey there that my
42:20
daughter created in college. She did a.
42:26
Presentation. And did a survey and actually
42:30
capture some information from her classmates.
42:32
I utilize that as well. Also here is me on at La Talk
42:37
live interviewing the Doctor Who's actually doing the study
42:42
in the military for sickle cell trade in the in the military for
42:45
the Army. The PSA link if you want to
42:49
watch that PSA as well. And also the PSA is here on the
42:51
site. And then these are the specific
42:53
areas that I'm focusing on military parents, students,
42:57
coaches, law enforcement, professional athletes, CrossFit,
43:02
physical education teachers, biology teachers, nurses,
43:05
couples with the trait and pregnancy with the trait.
43:08
Yes, those are I told you it was a public health issue.
43:12
So those are all the different areas that are important and
43:15
that need to be addressed. I'm taking those on.
43:19
So when you go to that website, you can click around, check out
43:22
everything on the website, gives you all the basic information.
43:26
A lot of topics we talked about with our doctors and nurses.
43:29
Is the sickle cell trade benign or not?
43:33
Being. Benign is definitely something
43:34
that we know that it is not benign.
43:38
Some people have risk factors and have complications.
43:42
And that last link right there is takes you to Doctor Maisha,
43:45
who was our board member and she is a medical doctor and she
43:49
helps take care of sickle cell trait patients.
43:52
So if you are a trade carrier out there and you need some
43:54
support around that, you can definitely reach out to us and
43:59
we can help you engage in some of these conversations.
44:02
All right, we're going to come back to that.
44:04
I got some more things I want to show you on the website.
44:07
This is Trench Talk. The sickle cell trade
44:09
conversation is really again my what's next, you.
44:14
Know the radio. To talk show is one of the
44:16
platforms that I use. My personal therapy keeps me
44:20
connected to my veteran community.
44:22
However, my what's next is my sickle cell trade talk.
44:25
All right, this is the front dossier show slash AKA trench
44:30
talk right here on MBR. Shout us out.
44:32
What's account some of us? Still carry the burden of
44:35
battle. It threatens to drown us in our
44:37
everyday lives. In battle, we had our weapons
44:41
and combat gear to keep us safe, to keep us confident.
44:44
But when we returned home, we were not armed with weapons and
44:48
gear to cope with our own minds. I was lucky to find my combat
44:52
gear, my mental weapon and it's called Kalma Go.
44:57
Komago is a drug free device that allows you to achieve calm
45:00
in less than 3 minutes in moments of anxiety, stress,
45:05
anger, panic or insomnia. Not with medication but rather
45:09
by activating the parasympathetic nervous system
45:12
through a breathing regulation and multi sensory stimulation.
45:15
A recent study has shown that Komago decreases PTSD and
45:19
anxiety levels in veterans, helping those who are suffering
45:22
and having a long lasting effect.
45:24
Visit comigo.com to learn how you can get Comigo through the
45:28
VA or with a special veterans discount code.
45:45
We are back with some. More information about sickle
45:47
cell trade again, thank you for tuning listening in this is
45:49
trench talk. I want to make sure I go to this
45:53
tab here support us here. So this one here is pretty much.
46:05
Where? You can get some of the ways to
46:09
contribute. That video you see?
46:13
Up there was actually here on MBR when I first came back the
46:17
first part of this year and I interviewed this Army officer
46:21
who I had no idea was a trade carrier and ended up sharing his
46:28
story on my show about his experience and very it was, it
46:34
was phenomenal. Yeah.
47:11
Very. Yeah, that.
47:37
That turned out to be a very, very important episode for for
47:42
us there. You can donate right there.
47:45
This is teaching soldiers how to manage fatigue.
47:49
It's not just about sickle cell trait.
47:50
It's about rhabdomyolysis. Have a whole conversation about
47:54
rhabdo. Anybody can experience rhabdo.
47:56
Anybody can experience rhabdomyolysis.
47:59
And so this is where you can go read about us.
48:02
If you want to contribute to the 'cause you can go there.
48:07
Check it out. That's a picture that myself and
48:10
my teammate Jody. When we go.
48:13
There I ask the class to take a photo with us and so we can
48:17
capture that. In time.
48:20
And then again, you just go through here and you can read
48:22
through there. That's me right there.
48:23
That's me and my basic training photo there.
48:28
And. Our target.
48:31
Audience Right now I'm focused on ROTC programs in high
48:37
schools, colleges, the recruiting, the RSP program, the
48:42
recruiting sustainment program. That's the RSP program.
48:44
That's where the National Guard or reservists go before they go
48:48
to basic training, the delayed entry program.
48:50
So now what they do is they go to the recruiting or the units,
48:54
they do training with the recruiters, you know, get some
48:57
development, get some exercise, learn some things.
49:00
When they get to basic training, they have a sense of knowledge
49:02
of what's going to be going on through that training process,
49:04
right? So I've been able to go through
49:07
to a couple of military RSP programs to to to test.
49:13
To test it and see. The responses and it was a great
49:16
response. And so now ultimately our our
49:18
plan is to go back into the schools, high schools and the
49:22
RSP programs. And of course the military
49:24
bases. There's a military base, there's
49:27
their bases all over the country.
49:28
It's not just the Army, the Air Force, the Marines, the Navy,
49:32
the Coast Guard. As you can see this picture.
49:37
Here was pretty much during the right after the pandemic when
49:41
they allowed me to come back. So we did the presentation, but
49:45
we wore a mask. And again, this is just some
49:49
basic information before SCT screenings.
49:52
We want people to understand after the screening, again, this
49:56
is more pictures and then you can donate there at that bottom
49:59
button there. And then just.
50:01
Like I said, you can just go around and I got a page for
50:03
myself and people know who I am. You can go to that tab and gives
50:07
you all the information about myself, about my ministry.
50:11
It's the secondary. Health issues that I deal with,
50:13
we haven't even talked about arthritis.
50:15
I got, I did APSA for the Arthritis Foundation to support
50:19
veterans to make sure that they go get checked.
50:22
You know, a lot of times we learn in military that don't go
50:24
to sitcom, but that same energy that we use to protect this
50:29
country, you got to go back and make sure you protect your
50:32
health and take care of your health.
50:33
So that was APSA that I did that.
50:35
I encouraged veterans to, to work that out for themselves.
50:40
I had to, I didn't even know nothing about the arthritis.
50:44
So I, I live with arthritis. I manage it very painful,
50:48
especially in the winter time. Right now is the worst time for
50:50
me. I live in a pain 7.
50:54
You may not be able to see it physically, but let me tell you,
50:57
it's a pain 7. And then around this time of the
50:59
year or if I'm in a crisis, I don't complain.
51:02
Unless it's like a nine or A10. You may hear me say something
51:07
out loud. Usually I just moan and groan,
51:09
move around. This is me at KCA Radio One O
51:13
6.5 FM 10:50 AM. That's where I'm at on Sunday
51:16
nights. I do a lot of my talks there
51:18
too, with athletes and coaches and family members.
51:22
That's more of my other. Community outreach platform over
51:25
there did a lot of speaking engagements the last 14 years
51:28
that I've been at it. In 2020-2021, I did a show on
51:34
Oxnard Live because my ABA team is from Ventura County, and so I
51:39
was able to do an interview with this host here, Daniel, Very,
51:46
very good interview right there. I'd like that one.
51:50
I've done speakings with nurses. Shouts out to Marsha.
51:55
Had me on board and talk. I've just done a lot of things,
51:58
a lot of interviews. Especially in SO.
52:01
So. We haven't even touched.
52:04
On the mental health aspect of it, right, we just talking about
52:06
the inherited gene, the risk factors, the secondary health
52:10
issues, but one of the things that comes with these
52:13
complications around our health sometimes is our mental health.
52:17
And that's also. Just as important, so I had an
52:20
interview with some doctors around mental health.
52:25
I actually do a lot of talks around that very, very important
52:29
conversation. And again, if you are interested
52:32
or you need have somebody need some more information about
52:35
that, you can go there and click on all the tabs.
52:37
You'll see everything here. This is my daughter.
52:40
She's also a partner and advocate with me around sickle
52:43
cell trade. She's has a trait as well, and
52:48
she's had pain since she was two years old like myself.
52:52
And so, you know, this is what we do.
52:56
This is this is my What's next? Bringing this awareness?
53:01
And then you can see. Doctor Myesha, this is the trade
53:04
doctor. We've done our shows.
53:06
We we have an organization together.
53:08
She's my board member. We're going to do some more work
53:11
with inscription around hydration.
53:15
Very, very important community outreach.
53:18
She's on the talk show as well. She'll do her piece.
53:22
I've interviewed her plenty of times on the shows.
53:25
And again, she's an educator, She's a doctor and she does
53:30
radio and she's a speaker. She's one of my angels.
53:34
So find a doctor that believes in a conversation that most
53:39
people say that you shouldn't have any problems around.
53:42
And then you find someone who actually says, oh, yes, there
53:44
are problems that use it what they are.
53:47
What more can you ask for, right?
53:50
It's like, hey, I'm going up against this grain that there's
53:54
that the world says that you have the trait that you
53:56
shouldn't have any problems. So I know this is.
54:00
Important. I know it's an important
54:02
conversation sometimes, you know, I, I, I doubt myself and
54:05
I'm like don't, but nobody really cares.
54:08
However, people do care. It's a very important
54:12
conversation. It's not for the whole world.
54:17
So let me say this, when you discover why you were born and
54:20
and what your conversation is to deliver to the world, it's not
54:24
going to be for everybody. You know God showed.
54:28
Me that there's specific people that are going to be drawn to
54:32
your subject to the message that I have for you to deliver,
54:36
nobody else for you to deliver. So you got to be OK with that.
54:40
Don't let your pride and ego think that you got to reach the
54:43
whole world. It's not about reaching the.
54:45
Whole world, it's about how effective are you living and who
54:48
were you sharing this message with?
54:50
That they get the knowledge and information from you that they
54:52
need for their life. That's all.
54:56
It's about. My teammate Doty, You seen them
55:01
in the pictures? That's us performing.
55:04
That's right. We do the battle of the jeans.
55:05
Also at the when we travel, we perform that song as well.
55:10
He manages sickle cell. Beta Thalassemia has a very
55:13
powerful story. He's a gospel rapper.
55:15
So we teamed up together. He allowed me to be a part of
55:18
this conversation that he put together called the battle of
55:20
the jeans, the red cells versus the white cells.
55:23
So you can see he's got the red sweatshirt on.
55:26
I got the white sweatshirt on. It's the red cell versus the
55:29
white cell, the battle of the jeans.
55:31
And if you understand your body and if you understand the red
55:34
cells and you understand the white cells, sometimes they do
55:37
battle with inside the body and sometimes those white cells
55:41
kills off those red blood cells, even the good ones, because your
55:45
white cells are your own immune system.
55:48
So if people really. Understood their health and what
55:51
they were dealing with in life physically and health wise.
55:54
I think we'd be in a different situation around, you know, how
55:58
we take care of ourselves. Because no one.
56:02
Makes no difference. We know a lot of stuff, but yet.
56:06
We don't. Apply it to our life and live
56:09
from it for whatever reason that is Jody and I've been friends
56:14
since about 2012, early 2012. He was on my shows back, you
56:20
know, back then. We've got interviews together on
56:23
LA Talk Live. He's my teammate, he's my
56:26
brother in Christ, my friend. And we do a lot of work together
56:31
and and planning a lot more work to do around the sickle cell
56:35
trade talk. All right, so make.
56:38
Sure. You go to the website, WDCO and
56:40
sct.org, get your information, share it.
56:44
Very, very important conversation.
56:47
I don't know how else to tell you it is very important.
56:50
It's WDCO and sct.org. I'm going to.
56:55
You know, play this other PSA and then I come back and I'm
56:58
going to wrap it up with some veteran, specifically some
57:02
veteran talk around the other part of this conversation that
57:05
I'm having in the community around veteran suicide, around
57:10
youth suicide, around skills of listening, right?
57:14
So make sure you stay tuned for that.
57:18
What else we got? Yeah, let's play these PS as and
57:20
we'll come back the Frondosia show AKA Trench talk right here
57:25
on MBR platform. Did you see the shot I lost
57:47
money from? That oh man, that shot was old
57:50
man. What's the name?
58:00
You really? Want to know I do?
58:06
Exhaustion. Muscle spasm, asthmatic issues,
58:09
unexpected sickle cell trait type are.
58:13
You serious? When I was young.
58:15
I found out I had sickle cell trait.
58:17
My mom's told me but I didn't have no knowledge of it.
58:19
But when I got older I had a child and the doctor told me my
58:21
daughter had sickle cell trait. You know, the fact that both
58:24
parents have sickle cell trait, there's a 50% chance the child
58:27
may have the trait and 25% chance the time to have the
58:31
disease and that's what's the. Count.
58:32
Do you know that 225,000,000 people in the United States have
58:35
sickle cell trait? 300 million people globally.
58:38
I didn't find out I had sickle cell trait until I was in the
58:40
army 10 years. Next thing you know, I had a
58:42
sickle cell trait. Exertion site, a sickle cell.
58:45
I thought that was a black gene or something.
58:47
Nah, man, the black. Community is number 21 out of
58:50
36,000 babies are being born with sickle cell disease.
58:53
You could be Caucasian, Mediterranean, European.
58:55
You're not really a bloodline man.
59:00
There is an inherited. Gene in our community that has
59:02
been forgotten. The name is Sickle cell trait.
59:05
WDCONSCT, also known as What's the Count, is out to bring
59:10
awareness, education and prevention to people all over
59:13
the globe. Want more information?
59:15
Call us now at 323-215-5384 or visit www.wdconsct.org.
59:36
All right. Welcome back to the Frondozier
59:39
Show. I just want to make sure that I
59:40
touch on this and I'm going to possibly have more discussions
59:46
around the work that I'm doing around veteran suicide, around
59:50
youth suicide, around reconciliation and forgiveness,
59:54
around listening skills. We swear.
59:57
We communicate as we swear we listen, but do we really listen
1:00:00
or do we react? Sometimes we catch.
1:00:03
Ourselves waiting to respond to the person because we already
1:00:06
know what we're going to say back to what they're saying.
1:00:08
And so we respond to that, not to what they're saying, right?
1:00:12
So I want to play this. This is my my friend, my mentor,
1:00:18
Caldwell Williams. This is his documentary that's
1:00:21
going to be coming out. This is a trailer.
1:00:23
He is a Korean era veteran. He's 90 years old.
1:00:27
He has been doing personal development.
1:00:30
We call that mindfulness today. He's been doing that for for 60
1:00:35
to 70 years, 60 years plus. He's been actually doing this
1:00:39
kind of work and I've been able to meet him about six years ago
1:00:44
now in 2018. And I've learned his education,
1:00:51
I've applied it to my life. It's phenomenal.
1:00:54
I teach it in LA Unified school districts.
1:00:57
I teach it and my messages, I share it.
1:01:00
Very, very impactful. But this is his story, his
1:01:04
trailer about what we're bringing to Veteran and our
1:01:10
community. The most?
1:01:14
Compelling social need of humans is to belong.
1:01:23
All four of my. Grandparents were born slaves.
1:01:26
My father's. Father, he was 7.
1:01:29
Years. Old and sold away from
1:01:31
everything and everybody he knew.
1:01:35
He never. Again, saw any member of his
1:01:38
family. My father.
1:01:42
He's born in 1884. His mother had died in
1:01:47
childbirth and he raised himself from age 8.
1:01:54
The sheriff came. With his posse took my father
1:01:57
and my oldest brother and beat them.
1:01:59
My father died with scars on his back from that beating.
1:02:05
If the sheriff. Puts you in jail in a Jim Crow S
1:02:08
Where do you turn to seek justice?
1:02:15
I love school. I I it became a source of me
1:02:19
finding myself. When I'd graduated from.
1:02:22
Utah in 1957 and was never even able to get an interview.
1:02:27
No Jews, no Negroes, no Hispanics, no Orientals need
1:02:33
apply. Now what do?
1:02:36
I do. Boy.
1:02:42
You add color to our faculty, that's that's all we're
1:02:44
interested in. All the other.
1:02:47
Counselors were instructed to give me their failing seniors,
1:02:51
dopers, rebels, suicidals. Listening.
1:02:56
To 12th graders who were not going to graduate, they told me
1:02:59
what was going on in their lives.
1:03:01
I discovered that I had something to offer people that I
1:03:04
thought had everything. Wood was already out on the
1:03:08
campus. That the skinny black did was
1:03:10
cool. I've got all these kids.
1:03:12
Who want to talk to me and I don't have the time to see them.
1:03:15
I think I might be able to see everybody if I saw them in
1:03:18
groups. Individual.
1:03:20
Psychotherapy on a couch was the only method.
1:03:23
Skinny black dude want to do groups?
1:03:26
You can't do. That because it doesn't exist.
1:03:30
To hell with them, let's do it anyway.
1:03:33
Parents want to know. What are you doing to bring
1:03:36
about this reaction to my kid? I've been sending my kids to the
1:03:39
best psychiatrist in Southern California and this hasn't
1:03:41
happened. This shit works.
1:03:47
Developing adolescence without narcotics is a radical new
1:03:52
national idea. Oh, you know you can't do that.
1:03:57
I'll turn to school. That includes sensitivity, the
1:04:01
mental health needs of our students.
1:04:03
This is too big for you. Would you be willing to?
1:04:07
Train my managers. Yeah, who's?
1:04:10
Caldwell Williams, He hasn't published anything. 22.
1:04:16
Iraq Afghan veterans committing suicide every day.
1:04:21
I think I know. Who these young people are?
1:04:24
Mr. Williams. You don't want to touch this.
1:04:30
You don't know who we. Are Mr. Williams?
1:04:34
And I. Said yes, I know who you are.
1:04:36
Maybe you don't know who you are.
1:04:38
Did your parents encounter racism?
1:04:41
Oh my gosh, yes. How about your grandparents?
1:04:45
Oh my. Even worse.
1:04:47
Then how did we get here? Someone persisted and prevailed
1:04:53
in spite of. I would assert.
1:04:56
That, no less is required of us. So that.
1:05:21
Documentary is almost done right now.
1:05:24
That documentary is almost done. It is being worked out right now
1:05:29
and I don't even know what to say to you.
1:05:32
It is such a powerful, powerful, powerful conversation for us to
1:05:37
have, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.
1:05:41
He is a phenomenal human being and just waiting to be able to
1:05:47
do some work with him. LBI Solutions, that's where I
1:05:53
continue to go. lbisolutions.com to check that out.
1:05:58
We're going to come right back with some more.
1:06:01
Topics before we. Wrap up the show.
1:06:03
Some of us still. Carry the burden of battle.
1:06:07
It threatens to drown us in our everyday lives.
1:06:10
In battle, we had our weapons in combat gear to keep us safe, to
1:06:14
keep us confident. But when we returned home, we
1:06:18
were not armed with weapons and gear to cope with our own minds.
1:06:22
I was lucky to find my combat gear, my mental weapon and it's
1:06:26
called Kamago. Kamago is a drug free device
1:06:29
that allows you to achieve calm in less than 3 minutes and
1:06:33
moments of anxiety, stress, anger, panic or insomnia.
1:06:38
Not with medication, but rather by activating the
1:06:41
parasympathetic nervous system through breathing regulation and
1:06:44
multi sensory stimulation. A recent study has shown that
1:06:47
Comago decreases PTSD and anxiety levels in Veterans,
1:06:51
helping those who are suffering and having a long lasting
1:06:54
effect. Visit comago.com to learn how
1:06:57
you can get Comago through the VA or with a special Veterans
1:07:01
discount code. Again, welcome back to.
1:07:05
Trench talk on the Frondosa show on MBR platforms.
1:07:09
Again, make sure you catch me on KCA Radio One O 6.5 FM 1050 AM
1:07:13
treatment at kcaradio.com. Make sure you go get the apps
1:07:16
too. MBR has an app KCA Radio has an
1:07:20
app. You can download that if your
1:07:22
Android or your Apple device and make sure you don't miss any of
1:07:26
the shows right from your smartphone.
1:07:30
So again, I thank you for today's conversation.
1:07:33
There will be sometimes I'm here by myself.
1:07:35
There will be sometimes that I have a guest.
1:07:37
But today I just wanted to just kind of give an overview of, of
1:07:41
my, of my work. Just some of the work that I'm
1:07:44
up to, which is the sickle cell talk is really the main
1:07:49
discussion today is my sickle cell trade awareness.
1:07:52
It is very important. Athletes are still collapsing
1:07:56
and dying today from this inherited gene.
1:08:00
So, so, so important. I don't know how else to share
1:08:05
that with you, but it is such an important conversation.
1:08:11
So there you can see. Where you can support us at you
1:08:14
can see who is for Ron. You can see just all the
1:08:19
different tabs here. Click on the more you can see
1:08:24
about us, the mission on that picture right there.
1:08:28
I was actually speaking with some students doing a career
1:08:33
day. Again, more pictures of me
1:08:37
speaking at the military base. We are part of the Medi lab.
1:08:42
They are located right now in Fresno, Raymundo.
1:08:44
He actually called me right before the show.
1:08:46
He and I have been working together since about 2014.
1:08:50
I got a grant in 2016, so 2017 and 18.
1:08:54
We did mobile testing, had events.
1:08:56
This is one of the events that I had in the community where
1:08:59
people are getting tested. We've done health fairs,
1:09:05
churches. Events.
1:09:09
Sickle cell trade testing, the CDC, all the information that
1:09:13
I've talked to you about that you see on my website, you can
1:09:16
go to the CDC website and find the tool kits that gives you all
1:09:20
the same information. It's always been there.
1:09:25
This who was to deliver it. I'm I'm here to deliver it.
1:09:31
This is a chart right here. So if you see that chart and
1:09:35
both parents have sickle cell trait, that's A and S&A&S you
1:09:39
can have a child with normal with no.
1:09:41
This is why it doesn't skip generations.
1:09:44
People think it skips generations, does not skip.
1:09:48
You can have a child with normal with sickle cell trait from both
1:09:52
parents because each parent can pass the A or the S.
1:09:56
So that's the AS from the mom and dad or that's the AS from
1:10:00
yeah, the AS from the mom and dad or the AS again AS from the
1:10:05
dad or AS from the mom. Say that correctly.
1:10:09
That's that 50% chance. And then that's that 25% chance
1:10:12
that that child can be born with sickle cell s s, anemia or
1:10:16
disease. So you can have no traits at
1:10:20
all, sickle cell trait or sickle cell anemia if both parents have
1:10:25
the trait. So it doesn't skip generations.
1:10:30
It depends on who you, what you believe is your higher power,
1:10:34
that you're born with that. And so I know that in my
1:10:38
mother's womb, God gave me that gene passed down through my
1:10:42
whole generation of ancestors to me to have this conversation.
1:10:48
To have this. Conversation.
1:10:50
That's why I was born. And when I'm done, it's over and
1:10:54
complete. I'm out of here.
1:10:57
That's what you're that's. This is me.
1:10:58
I have one normal red blood cell and I have one that mutates.
1:11:03
That's gets hard and. Sticky that means that no more
1:11:05
oxygen in that one that's looks like a banana shape Crescent
1:11:09
shape. So I have one normal.
1:11:11
I have one. So that day I collapse in the
1:11:13
military, the 40% of my red blood cells that are the sickle
1:11:17
cell trait mutated, lack of oxygen and there leads the
1:11:22
health complications trigger and sometimes rhabdomyolysis, which
1:11:28
as you can see the different types of exertion, cross
1:11:31
syndrome, blood supply, metabolism, body temperature,
1:11:36
there's different things that can cause rhabdo.
1:11:38
Anybody can get rhabdo. But when sickle cell?
1:11:42
Trach carriers gets rhabdo it can be fatal.
1:11:46
They can be fatal. We've.
1:11:47
Seen people die from this conversation, right?
1:11:52
What else we got awareness. This just give you some more
1:11:55
awareness conversations that I've done.
1:11:57
Again, more from the speaking engagements.
1:12:01
This is me speaking at church. My conversation is in the Bible.
1:12:05
That's how I know that I'm on my path from God because Judges
1:12:08
chapter 4. God gave that to me and to my
1:12:12
mentor, Phyllis, who passed away in 20, 12:13 And another
1:12:22
speaking engagement I did this was at a cancer, a cancer event
1:12:26
that I was invited to share. I've done a lot of presentations
1:12:30
virtually. And so again, very important, I
1:12:34
did another talk show right here on both sides of the
1:12:38
conversation, and I did a presentation of my PowerPoint.
1:12:41
Again, we got the trait, Dr. You can contact her.
1:12:44
And then these are just things that have happened in the news
1:12:46
where people have died and they say that the sickle cell trait
1:12:50
was related, right? And it's how a genetic trait in
1:12:53
black people can give police cover.
1:12:55
So sometimes when people die in the custody of police, law
1:13:00
enforcement, sometimes, sometimes that sickle cell trait
1:13:07
is what is a part of that. Sometimes, sometimes they said
1:13:17
that George Floyd had sickle cell trait and they wanted to
1:13:21
blame that inherited gene and the drugs and all that.
1:13:25
That's why he died. Not necessary.
1:13:28
Not saying that it's not possible, but has to be ruled
1:13:32
out. We also have a support group, we
1:13:39
call it Trade Tribe. So you can reach out to Trade
1:13:41
Tribe or you can go to the website here, reach out to us
1:13:45
and speak to the trade doctor to get screened.
1:13:48
This Is Us discussing conversations on the Trade
1:13:50
Tribe. Again, this is me at the mayor's
1:13:54
office. This is me talking.
1:13:57
About that in here to Jean. And that's me.
1:14:00
Again. Doing some empowerment.
1:14:04
Conversations about being included.
1:14:08
You know that. Inclusion conversation is so
1:14:11
important, again because it's emotional.
1:14:15
It's emotional. And that's one thing from the
1:14:17
LBR solutions that we address as inclusion and exclusion as an
1:14:22
emotional wound on the brain. All right.
1:14:28
And so with veterans, ask a veteran, anyone what they miss
1:14:34
the most. I'm sure you're going to hear
1:14:37
it's the camaraderie. I'm sure you're going to hear
1:14:40
it's camaraderie. So this platform again is by
1:14:45
Sickle Cell Trade Talks. I really appreciate you for
1:14:47
today's opportunity to share with you with this information.
1:14:51
If you want more information about the trade, please visit
1:14:55

1:15:18
year old. Life of an 8 Year old.
1:15:20

1:15:25
On those are some conversations we're going to have too about
1:15:27
our relationship with our parents.
1:15:29
I believe that that's really important.
1:15:32
