• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Like think.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And day.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Trying to log in again. I I just wanted to
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: come on because since this young lady has trying to
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: be in since she joined the Crew podcast, and have
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: been trying to go live and you know, share her
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: story and share her journey.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It it it seems like every single.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Time she tries to go live, there is a issue,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: there is something. I don't know what message this lady
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: is truly trying to give, but the enemy is definitely
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: not on her side and the enemy is definitely against her.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: But I just wanted to come come on here and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: occupy this space until she got here, because apparently her
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: message is so is powerful, and we know how the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: enemy works and we see it often right here on
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: this podcast as hosts try to go live try to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: bring you information that we feel it's needed for our communities,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: and the enemy is so busy. But I just wanted
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: to come on and let you guys know that we
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: have been trying to go live. We have been trying
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to broadcast this show since the clock because she called
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: me a few minutes before we were supposed to be live,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and this is her calling me again. This is her
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: calling me again, y'all. So we're trying to see where
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: she said, Hello, Yes.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I'm still loving it's lonely studio.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, well I'm in the studio. I am live. So,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like I was saying, y'all, I don't know what it is,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: but apparently the message that she's trying to bring, y'all
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: is a powerful message that is trying to be hindered, because,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: like I say, since she has joined the network, every
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: single time she tries to come in the studio and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: go live is always an issue. And we even tested
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: her her equipment last week to make sure that she
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: was able to come in and we were able to
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: go live. Had no issues. We went live, and we
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: were live for some minutes. Normally it would kick her
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: off at like seventeen seconds or so, but we were
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: able to actually go live connect and her equipment worked.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know why the enemy is fighting her so hard,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: but of course we know when and there is a message
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: that has to be delivered and something that the people
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: need to hear. It's always some some friction, there's always
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: some some something that tries to hinder And I just
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: wanted y'all to see how real this was, because there's
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a couple of other hosts that have no problems ever,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: But then we have some that every time they try
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: to go live, it's delayed. There's there's something going on
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: with the recording, there's something going on.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: With the music. It's always something.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: But for everybody that have been following us and supporting
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: us for the last three years, know that we don't stop.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: We don't quit. We continue, We go on.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: We press, we we we we We are here to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: serve our community and to educate, empower and encourage. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: we press and we continue to try to bring the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: message and the things that we feel will help build
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: our communities and make our community stronger. So know that
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: we don't stop. Were not stopping. I'm yet here waiting
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: for her to come in the studio. That's right, Patrice.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: We make it do what to do because that's how
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: we know to do. Because one thing we are not
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: is quitters. We do not quit. So if I just
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: want to serve the enemy, notice on tonight. You may
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: you may have hindered us tonight, but you won't get
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: that opportunity again. So I hope you will enjoying this
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: this go round because you won't get another chance to
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: hinder her.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Show.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: If that means we got to start going live a
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: little earlier, we'll go whatever it takes to defeat you.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: We will do that because you get no victory on
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: the group podcast. You will not come against our host
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: because they have that there are a mission, that that's
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: something that they're supposed to be delivering to the people,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to help the people. When I tell you we are
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the change that we desired to see in this world,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that's exactly what we are. So enemy, just know that
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: you are served on tonight. You won't get another chance
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: to affect any of these hosts. Trust and believe. So
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: you had your little time tonight, but you won't get
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: it again.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: That's very hard to bring my messon to everyone because
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I know it's important to know.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: That's why I go live on.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Facebook too, so that people don't know there's a big story.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I'll get the least to be told. It's not just
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the other listen, it's how I've been living with it,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: and some.
• 9:13

• 9:50
  Speaker 4: thing is right, because I've never had such a problem
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: before in my life trying to get onto my site.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Tonight I talked about the show to and how my
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: life was dealing with the havaison and during the cold
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: pandemic and being in the shelter.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I became homeless after taking COVID funds.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: During the pandemic, which I didn't know that you were
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: supposed to take COVID funds during the pandemic.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You never had a pandemic before, so how would I know.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Before I had a house, I had sex well, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: was on Section eight, So being that I was on
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: sex and eight, I was able to afford to certain
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: things and I was working for my time.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: So I had a basketball for in my backyard. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: had a bockground pool, I had the grills, I had
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: a deck.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: I had enough grass that I could do tennis or
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: bag and then I.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Had grass in the front yard. I cut my own grass.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I put mine in my grass so it looked nice
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and nicely managed long every.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Two weeks, and then the pandemic came. And then I
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: was told about my sex and eight Golcha coordinator whatever
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: you want to call.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Her, jenniferm that you can't take funds. So I didn't
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: pay my rent a whole year. The end that I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: paid my rent a whole year, that violates at sixty eight.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So day was happening taken away from me and he did. So.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I stayed in my trunk for six months and then
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: in my truck for six months.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I had to take a shower in people houses that
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I knew.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Sometimes if I was in a hotel, it's a hotel,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: then there was Sometimes it was at the seventh eleventh,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I was far across the street from or any bathroom
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: that I could go into.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Then allow me to.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Take a washer the waffle house. I had to take
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: a shower and to take a wash at the waffle house.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: And then after six months of that, I lived with
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: my sister in six months, so I wouldn't suggest the
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: family members the reason why I say it because about
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: everybody get along. I worried about the electric bills, she
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: went about the water bill. She worried about me. That
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: was tedious. Yeah, I wouldn't say that's not tedious, but
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: tears so.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: A person who don't do anything. It wasn't like I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: was running the water.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Had the lights on it. It's just that that's the
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: type of person that she is. And I stayed with
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: her for about six months. I got a job at
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: McDonald's and that's when the Orlanda.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Center was really burning my hair out.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: My hair was blond, and I got a big hone
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: on my head from rubbing it so much because it
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: was burning and itching at the same time. And sometimes
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: it would burn and sometimes it would itch at different times,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: and I.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Took pictures of it because I'm like.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: What is burning my fall? It seemed like whenever I
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: was going music, that's when my spall was burning. I
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: called him my spall on my head.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: So after living with my sister for six months mab
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: at McDonald's, I went to New York City. My daughter
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I asked me any New York City to be with her.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So I came to New York city, and I stayed
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: in shelter for two years. I would suggest.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: That only because they find your apartment is the only
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: reason why I would say, yeah, it's worth it because
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I live in a beautiful studio apartment.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: But while I was in the shelter, so much was
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: going on. It was fighting. The police was.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: There all the time, two or three times a day,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: and this girl split on me because.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: They said she could have HIV. I don't know, but
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: she was. She caught everybody in the whole shelter just about.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: And that's what staff used to befriend the billies, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: the billie.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Do their job for with.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Them because they couldn't do it, which is fight you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: But I still have to the fantasondo in the shelter,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: trying to deal with that and feel it with my family.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: It's not easy being with your family. But then you
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: had to sign in every single night. Every single night
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: you have to sign in, and they were going to
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: be in there fighting. I got into two fights. Lost
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: my favorite air ring that got lost. I found it,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: then it got lost again. Then this lady pushed me.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: I had to arrest it because I set on my risks.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: So they thought that was worth tiving. He arrested, so
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: I had arrested.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And it's so much, so much go off, especially.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: When you're in the shelter and you know that the
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: shelter said, and you thought whether what you thought it was.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: It's like they have women in there that look like
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: men because they're transitioning over to being men women, I'm sorry,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: being women.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And there was a few men that were in there.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Who has still had their private parts as men, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: they somehow passed a test.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I was told that the test is what I can
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: tell is.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: The person that's really trying to transition to being a woman.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: And I guess they passed the test and they went
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: out to come into the shelf.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Then you had some women in there who were dressed
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: like men also who loved to get naked. Because one
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: lady who got naked in the cafeteria for breakfast, I
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: don't know what was going on in her head, but
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: she just stripped, took a straight off, and she was
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: just there chested in front of all the ladies that
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: was in there, trying to enjoy the piece of breakfast
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: that we had, which was all garbage. We had catering
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: the floor that was garbage. When we ate microwave food,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: and then then it was caterer who cooked, and that
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: was worse. They should have left it at the microwave food,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: is what I was saying. A lot of women felt
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: the same way.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And that's not the only woman that allowed to get undressed.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: This one woman that was in my room, she was
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: on the second floor and she goes, she went to
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: bed naked, got up naked. Joie got dressed when it
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: was during the daytime and she was going to go
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: somewhere otherwise that she just got naked. It was like
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: you're being exposed to women in the shelter who don't
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: care about other people's integrity.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I don't care about that self respect. I don't care
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: about whether somebody have something that said about them or not.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: They still gonna do what they want to do. Not
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: only that, they had tampons that was bloody all over
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the floor.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: And the shower and the toilet, blood all over the seats.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: One lady used the dapt them on the floor. She
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: did the number two. She just shoot it all over
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: the floor. They had to clean that up and the blood.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: They had to clean that up. They don't even know
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: if that person got something or not. Those are the
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: things that I had to do in the shelter, besides
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: the fighting, besides other people fighting. So I just wanted
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: to let you know a little bit about the shelter life.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: And this is going to be in my second book.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: When said the Barberic, I'm sorry, my second book, The Plainsight.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: It's just certain things that need to be told should
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: be told so people can know you're going to go
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: into a shelter, then this is what you need to expect.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: And if you're going to go into a shelter and
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: you already expect that, then you're willing to stay in
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: there for two years like I did and at Boston
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Ring for two years so that you can get a
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: nice apartment. From the beginning, it was because things were
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: not that bad, but it's seeing that over time people
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: with different people coming in, different people leaving, and the
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: worst came in when I was almost managed to leave.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And I still have the Havana sunder at Obamacallo, Havanas
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: and them in two thousand and sixty three years, it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: going on twenty four years now. Next year beginning of
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: April April May in Hawaii, stay April May because that's
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: when it started coming down on me the way that
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: it is. I never had it before.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I was like you.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I was able to deal with life everyday life, think
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: of things and things, oh places, talk the way I.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Want to talk. And I feel like somebody's trying to
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: stop me from talking. And that's really sad to be
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: in America and my first moment right is being compromised.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: What it is.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: So with that being said, write and signed it into law,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: and he made it real. And by making it real,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I want to use it to tell you every single
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: thing that's happened to me could happen to you in
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: the future, could happen to your kids, could happen to
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: your grandkids.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: You just never know why they picked me. I don't know.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they picked me, but they picked me.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: When my brother died. Police customs twenty thirteen. Excuse me,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: that's the health center. That's twenty thirteen in complete custody
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: may give me raight form, and I'm poking for the
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: answer for allowing me to use it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I'm out trying to make sure that I have the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: proper equipment to make sure that I can get onto
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: our show.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: And it seemed that it's always something coming up that
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't allow me to do that.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: So we're going to get it right.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: That's why I got a guest on yet, because I
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: want to make sure that I get it right first
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: before I invite my guests on and have them go
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: through this.
• 20:41
