1:40
today is another beautiful day that the Lord has made. We shall rejoice
1:45
and be blat in it. Amen. Yes, I have our returning MINTI
1:51
miss Mercy. She is she's been my mentee for about three years, a
1:56
part of the First Ladies Youth Leadership Foundation, and she's interested in public speaking.
2:01
So I was like, come on back and she was like, yeah,
2:05
let's do it. So thank you having this and again come on now,
2:10
she's a pro. Now look at it. How you doing, Mercy?
2:19
I'm good, We welcome to the podcast. Thank you man. I
2:24
asked how how old are you in? What grade are you in? Yes,
2:29
I'm seventeen and I'm a singer at Rockdale County High School. Okay,
2:35
now are you graduating this year? Let's go? You excited? Yeah.
2:43
So, so we have a few questions for your girlfriend. You ready to
2:46
start? I'm ready? Okay. So that first question that we have for
2:53
you is because this is very important and I think that hearing from you is
3:00
it's going to be the most realistic viewpoint of of what's happening in your age
3:07
group as well as in your generation. So what have you been taught currently
3:12
like learning in the school system regarding black history. For the past couple of
3:21
years, we've been learn the same thing about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks
3:25
and a couple other ones. But this year we don't really learn nothing.
3:29
But that's because I don't really have a social studies class. I just have
3:31
an electist class. So mm hmmm. So y'all been learning the same of
3:39
course, very very well known black history figures, right, but y'all haven't
3:50
learned like anything like about uh do you even know like who developed the peanut
3:58
butter? Like do you know who did this? You know, who created
4:02
the traffic? You know? Because and you're fine, because we always hear
4:13
we definitely definitely appreciate our civil rights movement leaders, but I think a lot
4:18
of times, like they a lot of the public figures that really made like
4:23
even just small impacts in the black community have been passed, you know,
4:28
pushed to the side or forgotten about, you know. So wow, and
4:32
for y'all for you not to have a history uh this year, that just
4:40
kind of rubbed me the wrong way. A little bit, but we're gonna
4:42
have to get our school systems together, you hear me? All right,
4:54
all right, missus dj ny what well, how would you like to to
4:59
tackle some of these times topics, you know with your mentee here. Yeah,
5:02
so first bringing awareness to like she said, they're not really learning in
5:06
depth things about black history, and that strikes me as concerning in the school
5:13
system. I also ask some of my middle school mentees the same question this
5:16
month, and they said, not really much same thing that we learned last
5:21
year, and that's problematic. So I'm glad that we have this opportunity to
5:26
educate and highlight other black figures who are influential, who aren't the same people
5:31
that we talk about every year, so right, and representation is important if
5:38
we can see that it's still happening or we still have black leaders now,
5:43
we can see ourselves in that field, and we can see who we can
5:46
look up to as role models that are still currently present in our society now,
5:51
like they're not dead or yeah, they're here now. So I kind
5:58
of wanted to highlight you know, Mercy, do you have any you want
6:00
to bring to the table, any black influential figures that we don't always talk
6:04
about or that might be more current. We could talk about Maya Angelou because
6:15
I feel like that goes along with another question that she was going to ask
6:17
about, the role model one. So I can talk about her. Yeah,
6:24
tell us about Maya Angelo and how she's a role model to you.
6:29
Okay. So she was an American memoirs, a poet, and a civil
6:35
rights activist. She was born April fourth, nineteen twenty eight and died May
6:41
twenty eight, twenty fourteen. When she was five years old, she was
6:45
raped by her mother's boyfriend. Soon after that, he was murdered, which
6:48
left her mute for almost five years. Due to the past traumas, she
6:54
became a sex worker and had a kid at a young age. But despite
6:59
all of those has traumas, she still found a way to push through and
7:02
to use her voice through books and poetry. She soon went on to publish
7:06
a good number of books and poetry, and at that you may all know.
7:11
One that's very known is still Our Rise. So here's a little piece
7:15
from it. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise and to
7:20
a daybreak that's wonderfully clear. Our Rise, Franking the gifts that made that
7:27
my ancestors gave. I am the dream of the hope of the slave.
7:30
I rise, I rise, our rise, So when obstacles and challenges come
7:35
our way, the question is where we rise. I like youth. I
7:40
like that because it's like we all go through so much stuff, but a
7:44
lot of people don't, Like a lot of people can't come through, like
7:48
they don't know what to do, they don't know what to say. But
7:53
I like how she used her through writing, and I guess that that like
7:58
inspires me because I like writing and stuff, and I have some of my
8:01
own poetry, and I like to use writing as like a coping mechanism,
8:07
a form of expression. Right, that's how you express yourself. That's also
8:11
how you healed sometimes too write, I know, even just as far as
8:16
like you said writing, I like writing music, I like singing, so
8:20
whatever, it's like something that's heavy on me, Like that's my that's my
8:26
coping mechanism, or that's the reason why I actually come out of a lot
8:30
of stuff that I do. You know, So that's that's that. That
8:33
just inspired me. Girl, that was good. That was really good.
8:41
Wow, that was good. And Mercy has shared some of her poetry on
8:46
kats in E and T radio, So I'm gonna have to pass that to
8:48
you, Sam, But yeah, that's that's beautiful that you are able to
8:52
use poetry and writing as an expression, and that just highlights, you know,
8:56
there were other influential leaders that weren't just about civil rights. I wanted
9:01
to bring up Wilma. That's good. I know that was delayed, but
9:13
yeah, I had to give her some prosper because that Yes, I was
9:22
just looking up some other you know, black figures that were inspirational and influential
9:26
in different areas. And I know Mercy liked track and field as well,
9:31
and I want to bring a spotlight to miss Wilma Rudolph. She was the
9:35
first American woman to win three track and field gold medals in a single Olympics.
9:43
At a young age, Wilma Rudolph was diagnosed with polio and scarlet fever,
9:48
which caused her to wear a brace on her leg. She was sold
9:52
that she would never be able to walk again, so she decided to run
9:56
instead. During her career, she earned the title of the fastest woman in
10:01
the world. Wilma used her platform to shed light on social issues. That's
10:09
really good that that's inspiring. That she didn't allow what people said about her
10:15
to triumph over her own her own mindset to do something that she wanted to
10:20
do that she felt like she was capable of doing, even though other people
10:24
said that she was never going to be capable. So that's really good.
10:28
I love the fact that we can bring the even the past to the future
10:35
and being able to run off of what our ancestors did do for us,
10:41
that they did provide, even just hope, you know. So that's that's
10:46
a good thing. That's awesome. That's awesome. Sis, Yeah, you
10:50
know, that is amazing. And it kind of reminds me of who was
10:56
that brother I can't think of. I think his last thing was owned her
11:00
something he was. He was a good Jesse Owens. Yeah, yeah,
11:05
didn't he He ran in front of Hitler right like during the the Boar.
11:11
Hitler was upset because of black men basically beat his soldiers or something like that,
11:16
or he won the race, and so that reminded me of his story.
11:20
And when you said that, nice, nice, I said, I
11:33
like what just laughing. I like what she said about that piece about hope,
11:39
because I mean, just looking at some of them. It does make
11:41
you think like all you have to do is just try, yes, and
11:46
then also knowing that our history wasn't all bad. Let's be honest about it.
11:52
Oftentimes we look at the worst part of the history instead of looking at
11:58
the best parts of the history too, you know, the thing that actually
12:03
would drive us to triumph, to push for excellence, that would you know,
12:07
and it all didn't have to be encouraged by something that was going to
12:13
break or tear us down. But yeah, there are always going to be
12:18
some type of struggle or difficulties. Doesn't mean, you know, it's something
12:22
that's going to override the glory and the victory on the other side. Right,
12:26
So that's good. Agreed, Agreed, the mercy why is okay?
12:41
So I want to get to that question, why is black history so important
12:45
to you? Why is this important? I think Black history must have been
12:50
important because it just gives you a different perspective things that happened in the past,
12:56
and it lets you know that like they don't talk about but we started
13:01
a lot of this stuff. Like my mom was just telling me last night
13:05
how a woman, a black woman, was the first one to be signed
13:09
on money paper or something like that. So it just shows that like,
13:15
we did a lot of stuff like and we still are yes, yes,
13:22
that's good, Yes, agreed, and we we're still working towards, you
13:28
know, building our presence and our representation as black people and to bring it
13:35
more to the future. There is a such thing as black wall Street.
13:39
We talked about it last year was the black wall Street that was in Tosa,
13:43
Oklahoma, so everybody had a whole their research on that. But I
13:48
want to resurface the topic in Georgia Stone Crest, like Sonia area where we
13:54
live, me and Mercy, in that area, they have a new black
13:56
wall Street. So there, you know, organizing and repurposing the idea and
14:05
the theme amongst black people having their own wall street, their own businesses,
14:09
that's schools, that's hospital, that's hair salons, that's everything. You can
14:15
imagine. We had that before, have it now, and we should still
14:20
build on that. So I just wanted to put that tippet out there to
14:24
ask maybe anybody else, do y'all have any like present black history information that
14:31
y'all want to share about things that are currently going on that we should be
14:33
aware of or that we can participate in. That's a real good question question
14:41
them about when we went to miss Aniva and Neiva's museum. She has an
14:48
African Textile museum where she tells everybody information about the African culture and like where
15:00
everything came from it. So I feel like I was very exciting. That's
15:05
good, y'all. Are y'all are making me learn today? Good? So,
15:13
yes, the African Textile Museum is close to the New Church, which
15:18
is close to the Black Wall Street as well in Georgia. But basically she
15:22
had a whole bunch of African attire in African cloth, and she was able
15:26
to break down what countries those cloths and designs came from and just about the
15:31
history and the culture on how they made everything from hand. And my church
15:37
in particular is actually celebrating Black History Months celebration this Sunday. So I'm curious,
15:43
do y'all do that at y'all church where y'all do a Black History presentation
15:46
and everybody whereas an African attire. We're doing that for the first time this
15:50
year. Listen, my church, we've been celebrating all month long. Okay,
15:56
this Sunday we're actually going to be doing a melanin so you know,
16:00
the different shades of brown, you know. So we've been celebrating all month
16:07
long, singing songs and doing dances. I was actually leading one of the
16:11
dances on last Sunday with our youth group and also informing them, you know,
16:17
on just the culture and being able to understand their background, their history,
16:22
you know. So it's really good. I'm glad y'all doing that this
16:29
year. That's wonderful. Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. Not necessarily at
16:33
our church, but there is a spot out here in Vegas called the Springs
16:37
Reserve and they do a great event each year, and this year they're expecting
16:45
like a thousands of people to come out and artists and food and a big
16:49
festival out here. So I'm looking forward to that. Yeah. Yeah,
16:55
I haven't really noticed anything in our church in the way of black history,
16:59
but that would be interesting. That would be cool to do. Look ya,
17:03
I know, I'm from Alabama, so we're gonna celebrate back black history.
17:08
Okay, Okay, y'all heard about their Riverfront Brawl, Baby, I
17:21
just oh goodness. So we actually took a trip as first ladies, Mercy
17:30
I think, yeah, me and Mercy and some other mentees what first,
17:33
ladies took a trip to edmund Bridge. We went to Selma, Alabama,
17:37
Montgomery, and we visited what college was that that we visited? Mercy Tuskegee,
17:45
Tuskege University. Yeah to you, Yes, we learned a lot about
17:51
the history, the rich history in Alabama. So I appreciate y'all over there
17:55
in Alabama. And we're supposed to be going again in April. But yeah,
18:00
we encourage the young folks and everybody listening on this broadcast, do your
18:03
be intentional. If the school is not teaching you, be intentional to go
18:07
find out the information about black history yourself, making those trips to those museums,
18:12
to those different states that are talking about or sharing the black history information.
18:18
So I encourage everybody to go to Selma, go to the edmund Bridge,
18:22
visit Tuskegee, go to the new Black Wall Street and an a Montomery,
18:29
all of that. And I'm sure you know throughout the years and when
18:33
we do this every year, we'll have more places to send y'all too.
18:37
But it starts with you. Yes, that's good. And I was gonna
18:44
ask, is Selma is that where Martin Luther King was assassinated? Was that
18:48
where he was He was at a hotel, I know that for sure.
18:55
But I know that the march, the March Trust was from Montgomery to tell
18:59
Us So and back, so the whole area was something else. Man Rich
19:08
Rich history. Yes, I can't think of anything currently. As far as
19:15
I know, there's a lot of amazing Black figures out there who are creating
19:22
history right now, but I can't think of anyone just off the top of
19:26
my head. You know, were you thinking about in the way of politics
19:30
or education or just anyone doing something currently? I would say currently it could
19:37
be our family. So one thing that I would like to highlight too is
19:41
like, how what is the black history in your family? Let's start with
19:45
that. So on Sunday, mister Wayne Usher, he is going to tell
19:51
the history of the Usher family, which I am a part of. We
19:53
have our land and our church is actually built on our land, so that's
19:57
going to be interesting. So I guess I'll give that to everybody for homework.
20:00
What is the black history and your family? I know have been the
20:06
first black people to own gas stations in our city, and we have Lackey
20:11
Road which is also our land and Usher Road, so I guess I'll pass
20:14
that question to Mercy or anybody, like, what is the black history that
20:18
you might want to share about your family? That's good. I would have
20:25
to ask my parents. Not really sure. I don't really know much about
20:30
my family because you know, most of them have passed away. But I
20:36
think I'm gonna ask my mom and dad tonight. That's good, Mercy.
20:41
Yeah, knowing your family history is so important. I know, up until
20:45
my great grandparents, I don't know anything beyond that. But I do know
20:48
that my granddad inherited land because his parents were slave like they were cotton pickers,
20:57
and so my father's side of the family, they were able to get
21:03
the land from the from the slave owner given to them. Of course,
21:10
some of it has been sold, but my granddad is very intentional about the
21:15
remainder of the land not being sold, and it has to be within the
21:18
family and it cannot be sold to anybody. You get what I'm saying.
21:22
So we're keeping that in the family. But yeah, and I just bought
21:27
me some land, huh, five acres. I'm happy about my love five
21:33
acres. So whenever I do build and I do crops, and I have
21:38
a little bit of you know, horses and you know a couple of cows
21:42
and probably a few chickens. I don't know, but you know, I'm
21:47
gonna be able to have that for my children to know, like what even
21:52
that type of labor looks like. You know, being able to work in
21:57
the fields to douce a crop or harvest it don't have to be caught,
22:03
okay, but being able to put their hands to work is so important.
22:10
And it's very prevalent for them to learn to yes, use your mind,
22:15
but also be able to use your hands too. You know. So mm
22:18
hm, that's not gonna get that's not gonna come out the family either.
22:22
It's already in my wheel. God bless Wow. What congratulations on that land.
22:30
I think that is amazing. And more of our people we need to
22:34
own property and own land, real estate, start owned businesses. I think
22:41
that's really really encourages those some big steps you're making. Yes, I am
22:45
all for it. Listen, I'm an entrepreneur. I'm laying on their baby.
22:48
I own my house, all that good stuff. So I encourage young
22:52
people to be able to have a vision and a goal to look at more
22:56
than just renting things or more than just working for someone. If God has
23:02
already put in your spirit and in your heart to be able to own your
23:06
own businesses, own your own properties, and be able to help others in
23:11
the process, Baby, go ahead and do it. Don't let anything stop
23:15
you or deter you from being everything that you're supposed to be and that you
23:18
can be. That's a word from desiree onto that. So I hit it
23:26
on time. It's time, you know what I mean. Yeah, that's
23:29
good, bro. I just want to say that in my family, I
23:36
would say, I'm going to give a shout out to my uncle and my
23:40
uncle Robert. He actually opened up a restaurant out here in Vegas, and
23:45
I remember when he opened it up when I was younger. And my uncle
23:48
can cook, y'all, man, he can, he can put his foot
23:52
in it. So he cooked some good soul food. And so I would
23:57
just saying my immediate family, I really wasn't inspired by my uncle, my
24:03
uncle Robert. That's good. That's good, all right. Now, I
24:08
also want to bring up a figure from history. I know this might be
24:12
kind of goofy on my end, but I was a big fan of this
24:18
show, The Lone Ranger. I don't know Mercy. You might be too
24:22
young to remember that show. It was like a black and white show back
24:26
in the day. His cowboy would go out and all by himself, you
24:30
know. Well, he had a partner, Tanto, you know Indian guy
24:33
that used to be a sidekick, and he would right around the whole town
24:37
and solt crimes and I always get the bad guy. He would always get
24:41
the upper hand. But I just found out recently that the original Lone Ranger
24:47
was actually black. He was a black man, and they were inspired by
24:52
this this guy who was a real person in history. I guess he was
24:57
some type of a bounty hunter or he became a marshal or something, and
25:02
so they were inspired by this man and they did a whole TV show they
25:06
put a white man in it. I'm not surprised. I was like,
25:11
look, I just now found out, Like I thought it was a white
25:14
guy this whole time. But and you know what, I have to interject
25:19
there. We were all gonna do our homework. But a lot of inventions,
25:23
like Mercy mentioned too, came from black people. So building the infrastructure,
25:30
the science, the medicine, the expiration of space, they use black
25:34
people, figuring out the calculations. That's in hidden figures. They're the peanut
25:41
butter, the everything, the light bulbs, everything. And I ain't gonna
25:47
I ain't gonna be too prideful, but pretty much majority of things was designed
25:51
and made by black people because they brought us every year for our mills and
25:57
our knowledge and what we could do. They brought us over here so we
26:00
can do it over here. And unfortunately some many people took credit for the
26:06
things that black people did, so we really need to know that so we
26:10
know yet it is ours, but we did so we know that we can
26:12
do so much more. Yes, yes, yes, listen. I was
26:18
just recently in a play Lord. What was the name of that play?
26:23
I can't quite think of it because I do so much, but the play
26:26
was based oh Justice on Trial, and it was talking about the reformations that
26:33
black people have not received. In any other group that has faced injustices have
26:45
been able to get reformations from it. They've been able to get compensation for
26:51
the injustice on their group. But Black people, like I think it was
26:55
fourteen trillion dollars is owed to us, even just by what was calculated recently,
27:03
and it's going higher and higher. As the dollar get, you know,
27:06
it's worth more, but that was only twenty dollars a day. And
27:10
I think it's Andrew Jackson on the twenty dollar bill, and it talks about
27:14
even just the play talks about how the injustice is still there. And there
27:18
was a couple of jury members that was one of them was playing out races
27:23
and she just basically was like, Hey, I don't really care anything about
27:27
y'all getting anything or even having any justice served in this area because it wasn't
27:34
y'all that went through it, you know, but it's still an effect on
27:38
us as African Americans, as Africans that are Americans that we still have to
27:45
go through and literally, like my character was ready to fight, you hear
27:51
me, because there is literally a lot that's said even behind closed doors,
27:56
that a lot of people won't won't ever hear if they're if they're so disconnected
28:02
from uh, from the issues of life, and especially with racism here in
28:07
Alabama, we don't deal with it too much, but there's still uh uh,
28:12
these underlying ways of saying things and doing things that will undermine a black
28:18
person and their intellect right and so being able to just openly say No,
28:23
we need justice. We need to be able to stand up for ourselves and
28:27
be able to, you know, when everythings are not the way they should
28:33
be or said the way they should be said, and they're being racist towards
28:37
or what is it called, Uh, what's the word. I'm trying to
28:44
look for, discriminatory like they're they're they're having discrimination against us. We need
28:48
to be able to speak up for ourselves so that we can move forward.
28:52
You know, Amen, Amen, that's good, that's good. And I
28:59
believe that we're progressing in that direction. I believe that, you know,
29:03
the Bible tells us we my people appears to lack of knowledge, and I
29:07
believe doing stuff like now, just coming together talking as a community, talking
29:11
as a family, sharing the information about our community and what we've done and
29:18
the people who have contributed, I believe that that does a lot to help
29:22
us to get in the right direction and everything. And so so I'm going
29:27
to pick on Mercy a little more. I know, she's real a little
29:30
quiet over there. So are you? From what I understand, you're inspiring
29:34
to be a public speaker, and so what why is that? Why is
29:38
public speaking important? So? I like talking, I'm a very outgoing person.
29:49
But at first I didn't really see myself talking in front of like a
29:53
whole group of people, because like, I don't like people staring at me,
29:57
Like I don't like all the attention. But everybody was like, oh
30:00
my god, your voice is so calmy and it's just so huh. And
30:07
then one day I had a dream. I woke up and it was like,
30:11
you should do public speaking. So I was like, okay, so
30:15
this has got to be a sign if everybody's telling me that. And then
30:18
I just had a dream about it, maybe I should get into public speaking.
30:22
And I think that happened my eleventh yeah, my eleventh grade year last
30:26
year, because I didn't know what I wanted to go to college for.
30:30
So I started looking into it more and I was like, I think that
30:34
I could do this, like if I just stand up on the stage and
30:37
doing something that I already liked doing, Like, yeah, I want to
30:45
use it to like help people, especially teens, I guess, and like
30:51
with mental health and yeah, just learning how to get their mental help up
30:57
because you know, it's a lot of teams out here now that just don't
31:03
have self love. So it's like I want to use that to help them.
31:07
Yeah, and then I feel like I could represent good company one day,
31:11
you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good. That's good.
31:22
I think my scriptures in a man. Public speaking is a very powerful,
31:27
powerful outlet. And I mean, you can move nations if you can
31:32
just speak correctly, you know what I mean. And I mean just think
31:36
of the Gospel. You know, we get saved through speaking, through preaching.
31:41
You know, words are powerful and you have to be bold and confident
31:45
and step out there. As a matter of fact, just last night,
31:49
my daughter did a public speaking in this organization she's in for a school,
31:56
and she was a little nervous and she was kind of beating herself up.
31:59
She felt like she didn't do as good as she thought she could. But
32:01
I was encouraging her. I said, you know what, half the population
32:06
of the world, they are afraid to do just what you did, you
32:08
know what I mean. But you didn't. So that's amazing. That's that.
32:14
And I even have like some scripture references like on like just doing the
32:19
will of God and how He on equipped you, how he will equip you
32:22
in Hebrews chapter thirteen. And of course Paul is talking onto a specific group
32:29
of people. And this is the twentieth verse, through the through the twenty
32:34
first verse, and it says, now, may the God of Peace,
32:37
who through the blood of the Eternal Covenant, brought back from the dead,
32:42
our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, equipped you with every
32:49
good for doing his will. And may he work in us what is pleasing
32:54
to him through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever.
33:00
Amen. Like, we just got to understand, like there is a will
33:04
that God already has for our lives. We just have to connect to his
33:07
will. We have to connect to the purpose that He has over our lives.
33:12
And like you said, like oftentimes he'll show us, and sometimes we
33:15
don't know what it is or even how we're gonna get there too often,
33:21
but God is already revealing. No, this is what I'm calling you to
33:24
do. This is what I've made you for. So I just need you
33:28
to align with me so that I can carry you. I can show you
33:30
the next space, the next steps, and that that is what benefits us,
33:37
that is what benefits people in the world to be able to find out
33:43
who Christ is and be able to be saved. Of course, and also
33:47
knowing who they are and what they're supposed to do in the world, then
33:51
they'll be able to seek out that you know, it's out that purpose in
33:54
life, and that will in life. You know, amen, great scripture.
34:00
Yes, yes, God will definitely equip us. And so we're getting
34:07
ready to close out this segment, but I want to give j a chance.
34:14
Do you want to you have any input or anything else you would like
34:16
to to put out there. Yes, since we're bringing out the scriptures,
34:23
we can't. We're gonna keep it up with the scriptures, so we want
34:27
to bring them out. And two y'all should already know, but I'm about
34:31
to bring it up, so I don't miss any parts of Itaba. Two.
34:37
Then the Lord answered me and said, write the vision and make it
34:40
plain on tablets that he may runeth who reads it. For the vision is
34:46
yet for a pointed time, but at the end it will speak and it
34:52
will not lie. Though at terries wait for it, because it surely will
34:57
come and it may not ry. So that go along with what does Ray
35:00
was saying and what Mercy was saying. We got to write our visions down.
35:05
If God spoke to you in a dream, if if angels or people
35:07
are confirming what the Lord said to you by telling you this, okay,
35:10
and you believe that that's good for you, you want to do it too,
35:15
Write it down, make it plain. I know y'all see my vision
35:16
boards back there, because I'm putting it on the board so I can see
35:22
it. Literally, my bed is right in front of me. When I
35:24
wake up, the first thing I see when I look is the vision boards.
35:29
What has God spoken? What has He said? And I'm gonna write
35:31
it plain because it's not enough to just keep it in your brain. You
35:35
got to speak it, like we have to speak life and to ourselves,
35:40
health and all those things, and may have to sit so we can picture
35:45
it in our minds. So with that going forward, I'm thoroughly excited for
35:50
our future because we're training up young women like Miss Mercy and Does Ray.
35:54
You're already powerhouse and mister Samuel laid the foundation and kiss Hop, you laid
36:00
the foundation for us to have this platform to speak. And that's history right
36:06
there. And YouTube da God has eclipped you equipped you to be able to
36:17
speak life into the next generation and be a spokesperson for him, So you
36:23
know, being able to take account that. No, baby, girl,
36:28
Listen, whatever however he chooses to use you, let him do that,
36:32
you know, let him be everything he needs to be. And I know,
36:37
I know you don't doubt girl. So look you got this. Amen,
36:42
Amen, I want to say this my message to I guess it would
36:46
be kind of uh aimed at the brothers, you know, the black men
36:52
out there, the young black men. Uh. We can't be bitter,
36:57
you know, we can't be angry, We can't have an attitude. We
37:00
can't go after the police just because they pulled us over. Or we might
37:06
even be in the right, but that's not the time to fight. You
37:08
know, you got to fight on the right battlefield, right, And the
37:13
scripture tells us that we set ourselves free when we learn to forgive right,
37:21
because God says, I'm not going to forgive you if you can't forgive the
37:25
next man, you know what I mean. And I know we've been through
37:29
a lot as a community, as a race of people and everything, but
37:32
if we really want to fight back, we first have to get our hearts
37:37
clean, you know what I mean, get right before the Lord, forgive
37:44
all that stuff and then rebuild. Now, that doesn't mean we can't protect
37:46
our family, we can't protect our women, we can't protect our legacy.
37:51
Yeah, you know, God put us in that position to be the protector
37:55
and the provider. But bitterness takes away your power, you know. Unforgiveness
38:01
takes away your power. Resentment takes away your power. It takes away God's
38:06
ability to empower you. You know what I mean, because we serve a
38:10
holy and righteous God, and so I mean that would be my message to
38:16
to the Black community. And my heart is, you know, we got
38:21
to put God first, and we got to get past a lot of this
38:24
stuff because if we're constantly living in the past, then we are not going
38:29
to live in the present. And I'm speaking from experience, you know what
38:34
I mean. Yes, that's some hand clouds going good. And then understanding
38:45
the men are the leaders. You're the leaders of your home. You're the
38:49
leaders even oftentimes of the church, you know, and so we have to
38:54
be able to like even as women, give y'all in the grounds to be
39:00
yourselves even if you have sometimes of emotion you know that you need to express
39:07
or display, but being in support as women to help you carry out the
39:14
mission and the plan that God has for your life and also giving you the
39:17
space in the room to be who God has called you to be, and
39:22
also pushing you to destiny hallelujah, pushing you into a place of purpose,
39:29
and also being able to see yourself in the light that cristies you, because
39:32
that's oftentimes what we as women do. You know, we see something before
39:37
you see it. I'm like, why you're not seeing this, you know,
39:39
But we have to keep stay diligent in making sure that we are supporting
39:45
our men because I don't see it. Oftentimes I just don't. I don't,
39:51
especially in the black community. So we have to be able to be
39:55
a light to each other and then to the other most parts of the world.
40:01

40:05

40:08
