- 0:00Speaker 1: Okay, all right. And we're back.
- 0:03Speaker 2: We back.
- 0:04Speaker 1: I know y'all miss some Will and blonde niggas.
- 0:08Speaker 2: You know they do.
- 0:10Speaker 1: But we back to give the people what they want. Yeah.

- 0:16Speaker 1: Yeah, but... We're back.
- 0:17Speaker 2: You know, we.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Just had to finish the summer off. I, you know...
- 0:22Speaker 1: Mentally this summer, like I just literally, I barely did
- 0:25Speaker 1: shit this summer. I literally smoked.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Me neither.
- 0:27Speaker 1: I smoked myself out.
- 0:29Speaker 2: I didn't do that.
- 0:29Speaker 1: No, I did. I realized I was going through something
- 0:32Speaker 1: because it made 15 years in a chair. I didn't
- 0:35Speaker 1: even know subconsciously. I didn't know subconsciously that I was like,
- 0:39Speaker 1: like sometimes you don't know you're in depression because I'm
- 0:42Speaker 1: a high function person. So when you're high function, sometimes
- 0:45Speaker 1: you don't know you're depressed because I just kept doing things.
- 0:48Speaker 1: But I tried to, like, smoke and distract myself of
- 0:50Speaker 1: what was really the problem. And what was the issue was,
- 0:53Speaker 1: like I said, it made the same amount of years
- 0:55Speaker 1: walking as being in a chair. So that was, like,
- 0:58Speaker 1: a big moment for me. It was like, damn. So
- 1:00Speaker 1: I literally, you know, it's like one more year and
- 1:02Speaker 1: it's like, damn, I have more years. Yeah, so that
- 1:06Speaker 1: shit kind of mentally fucked me up. Oh, I'm good.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I'm in a great space. I feel like myself. I
- 1:12Speaker 1: haven't smoked. It'll be two months. I'll be two months
- 1:15Speaker 1: clean off of marijuana in, like, two weeks.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Wait, Tommy, do you think the weed do it to you?
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yeah, weed is not for everybody.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Yeah, because my sister called crying. I'm like, what are
- 1:23Speaker 2: you crying for? She's like, I don't know, but she
- 1:24Speaker 2: was high.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Yeah, the weed. And this is not the weed we
- 1:27Speaker 1: used to have back in the day. You know what
- 1:29Speaker 1: I'm saying? A lot of this shit is.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Sprayed on, stepped on. So much chemicals and shit on
- 1:32Speaker 2: this shit.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Yeah, and in this culture with the graba, because I
- 1:35Speaker 1: only like graba.
- 1:37Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:38Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck what type of grub. I
- 1:40Speaker 1: was smoking grub. Like, I love grub. Like, my weed
- 1:43Speaker 1: would probably be, like, 60% grub.
- 1:45Speaker 2: You'd be having grub.
- 1:46Speaker 1: 40% weed. You'd be having wax in it. Oh, no,
- 1:48Speaker 1: I don't do all that extra shit.
- 1:50Speaker 2: All different types of shit.
- 1:51Speaker 1: That's why I was just, like, I knew for a fact, like,
- 1:53Speaker 1: all right, this is time to stop. And, like I said,
- 1:55Speaker 1: I stopped, got things back in, you know, back on track,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and I'm feeling good, feeling great.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Shout out to you.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:01Speaker 2: I've been around the world. I've been feeling good lately.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. Well, you look good.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You look in shape and shit.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I say for these past two months, I really realized something.
- 2:13Speaker 2: I'm really blind. Yo, I did not know how blind
- 2:17Speaker 2: I really was. Now it's like you're teaching me. I'm
- 2:21Speaker 2: learning new things on the phone, like the voiceover. I
- 2:23Speaker 2: hated it before.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Well, the people don't know what you've been doing. What
- 2:25Speaker 1: have you been doing?
- 2:26Speaker 2: Oh, I signed back up to the Helen Kelly, you know.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So what is that?
- 2:29Speaker 2: It's a school for the blind. And the crazy thing
- 2:32Speaker 2: about it, I walked in and what gave me motivation,
- 2:34Speaker 2: I seen five, six-year-olds going to the school and they
- 2:39Speaker 2: using a stick. I mean, let me not say stick
- 2:41Speaker 2: because they keep saying that's not a stick. They long
- 2:43Speaker 2: cane and I'm just looking. I'm just like.
- 2:45Speaker 1: That's what they call it?
- 2:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a long cane. They told me to stop
- 2:47Speaker 2: calling it a stick. Every time I say stick, they
- 2:49Speaker 2: be like, what is it?
- 2:50Speaker 1: What is it?
- 2:50Speaker 2: What is it? I'm like, all right, come on, bro.
- 2:51Speaker 2: We not in school. But just seeing them going in
- 2:54Speaker 2: the doors and they just laughing and they jolly. And
- 2:56Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm holding on to somebody walking into this door.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:59Speaker 2: I said, I ain't doing it no more. So now,
- 3:02Speaker 2: this is my new stick called Cece. Cece, me and
- 3:05Speaker 2: Cece outside.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Why you call her Cece?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Because she see everything I can't see. That is so cute.
- 3:11Speaker 2: So me and her outside. So it's like, I got
- 3:13Speaker 2: apps on my phone, teach me how to cross the street.
- 3:16Speaker 2: It's annoying, but after a while, you get used to it. Like,
- 3:19Speaker 2: he turned the accessible, the voiceover on for me. I said,
- 3:23Speaker 2: I hate this shit. But now I can't find myself.
- 3:25Speaker 1: You're used to Siri.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Yeah, now I can't find myself using Siri.
- 3:28Speaker 1: So which one do you prefer? Which one do you
- 3:30Speaker 1: think is more easy?
- 3:31Speaker 2: Siri is cool, but Siri got limits to it.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:34Speaker 2: The voiceover is no limits. I can do whatever I want.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Like what? All over. Like, I can really take pictures
- 3:41Speaker 2: of myself. I can record myself. I don't need nobody
- 3:44Speaker 2: to do it. And the voiceover is telling you when
- 3:46Speaker 2: you center, when the picture is perfect, everything is like,
- 3:51Speaker 2: I could, like, with the new updates, Siri was outdated.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I could go on any website I want to go on.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I could press it. I don't got to wait till
- 3:58Speaker 2: somebody come to play a voice note. Read your messages. Like,
- 4:01Speaker 2: voice notes, when you playing it, it'll play. But if
- 4:05Speaker 2: it's too long, it'll cut off. Now you got to
- 4:08Speaker 2: wait for somebody to press it. Now I can press
- 4:09Speaker 2: that shit myself. I press videos myself. I'm like, I
- 4:13Speaker 2: like this voiceover shit. It ain't as bad. People hate
- 4:16Speaker 2: it around me because I be on the phone and
- 4:17Speaker 2: I be on voiceover. They were like, all right, just
- 4:19Speaker 2: call me back when you finish playing with it. It's like,
- 4:20Speaker 2: why y'all leaving now? But I honestly said, I really
- 4:24Speaker 2: feel blind. And I love it, though.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Well, it sounds to me that you finally are starting
- 4:29Speaker 1: to accept.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Nah, I accept it all the way. Like, I accepted
- 4:32Speaker 2: it before, but now fully, fully, it's like, now I
- 4:34Speaker 2: want to walk with the stick. And it's like, now
- 4:37Speaker 2: the only thing I got to get into is, like,
- 4:39Speaker 2: golf a bit, stepping and shit. Okay. But other than that,
- 4:42Speaker 2: I mean, I'm whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. I go in
- 4:46Speaker 2: hell and heaven by myself, come out by myself. They're like, oh,
- 4:49Speaker 2: you got it. I got it. Like, I don't need
- 4:50Speaker 2: no help.
- 4:51Speaker 1: So what made you decide to go to the blind school?
- 4:55Speaker 2: Just one day I'm just laying in the house and
- 4:57Speaker 2: I just wasn't happy. It's like I felt like my
- 4:59Speaker 2: life was limited, like waiting on somebody to do something.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Like I asked two people to do something for me
- 5:05Speaker 2: and it's like it was a brush off. Hold on,
- 5:07Speaker 2: I got you. And it's like, I can't keep living
- 5:09Speaker 2: like this.
- 5:10Speaker 1: You want to do things on your team.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Yeah, so I ain't saying I got quiet and then
- 5:13Speaker 2: they left. No, I'm saying they were doing it. on purpose,
- 5:16Speaker 2: but other people are busy and I don't want to
- 5:18Speaker 2: put that on anybody else.
- 5:19Speaker 1: It's not their fault.
- 5:20Speaker 2: We're not giving it to anybody. Just so happened, Commissioner
- 5:24Speaker 2: of the Blind, Vice President, she calls me. She said,
- 5:26Speaker 2: you know, I know we talked in February, but what
- 5:29Speaker 2: was your issue again? And we started talking and all that.
- 5:32Speaker 2: She's like, did you get the proper services? I'm like, no. So, yo,
- 5:35Speaker 2: can you come in next month? I'm like, yeah. Went in.
- 5:37Speaker 2: We sat down. We had a conversation and everything. She
- 5:39Speaker 2: was like, just give me three months. Just trust me.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I'm like, I got you. And then from there, I
- 5:45Speaker 2: never looked back. So now they're giving me the best
- 5:47Speaker 2: of the best. Where I'm at right now, like the
- 5:49Speaker 2: stage I'm at, I'm not supposed to be, because I
- 5:52Speaker 2: had mobility, so I know how to move and travel
- 5:55Speaker 2: and cross the streets and everything. But now they're seeing it,
- 5:57Speaker 2: they're like, all right, let's move to the next thing.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Apps I got on my phone, I wasn't even supposed
- 6:01Speaker 2: to have yet. They downloaded it, like, I feel you ready.
- 6:04Speaker 2: So it's like a smooth sailing.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Now I'm typing. You're more of it because you've been
- 6:09Speaker 1: doing it. You've been blind. The reason why, you've been
- 6:12Speaker 1: blind for 14 years. 14 years. So it's like, whereas
- 6:15Speaker 1: others are starting from young, you're starting from now. So
- 6:17Speaker 1: it's like going to be things that other people know better,
- 6:19Speaker 1: but then it's also things that you know better because
- 6:21Speaker 1: you self-torture.
- 6:22Speaker 2: I see them kids going, do, do, do, do, typing
- 6:24Speaker 2: and all. I said, damn, I ain't like that yet.
- 6:26Speaker 2: But I'm going to get there, though. They just typing
- 6:28Speaker 2: and sending in. I'm like, yo, they really arguing through
- 6:30Speaker 2: the text messages. That's great.
- 6:31Speaker 1: So is it like they have touch tone for you guys, right?
- 6:34Speaker 1: So you can feel like which letters.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Talk about on the keyboard.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Yeah, let me see. Let's show them.
- 6:38Speaker 2: You talk about like on the computer?
- 6:39Speaker 1: Like when you're texting on your phone. Oh, yeah.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Let me show you. Open messages. So one, two, three.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Voice over on messages.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Edit.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Bella.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Five. Eight. Zero.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Katera.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Yes, Glenn, but now is he?
- 6:59Speaker 2: This is our group chat.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Frenchie, I'ma go get something to eat. He's like a
- 7:05Speaker 1: fat ass. Message. I message. Messages. Message. I message. Text field.
- 7:11Speaker 2: All right. Double text.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Message. Text field.
- 7:13Speaker 2: You could do it too.
- 7:15Speaker 1: See? Messages.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Wolf. Wolf.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Cap. Cap. F. Don't expose. We ain't cutting it out.
- 7:22Speaker 2: See? See?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Oh, so it tells you.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Yeah, so like you could spread your hand or you
- 7:29Speaker 2: could just spread it over. It's an E. Q-W-E-R-T-Y. And
- 7:35Speaker 2: it's U-I-O-P-A-S-D-F.
- 7:37Speaker 1: So you're basically just sliding.
- 7:55Speaker 2: You can slide or you can... The more advanced ones
- 7:58Speaker 2: just be moving like this.
- 8:00Speaker 1: So what advice would you have for people that are
- 8:03Speaker 1: like you that didn't really want to go to do
- 8:06Speaker 1: it and stuff? Would you tell them this is something
- 8:08Speaker 1: that they should try?
- 8:09Speaker 2: I would say they're slowing up their process.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Right. They're limiting themselves.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Yeah, it's making it even more harder because now when...
- 8:15Speaker 2: I feel like if I would have learned this 14
- 8:17Speaker 2: years ago, I'd be a super problem.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Super problem. So it's like don't... Don't stop your growth.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Don't stop your process.
- 8:25Speaker 1: So today, I wanted to talk about, number one, mental health.
- 8:30Speaker 1: And being that it's disability, today we're fucked up because
- 8:32Speaker 1: it's the disability parade right now.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yo, disability parade.
- 8:35Speaker 1: We wish we could be there, but we have to
- 8:37Speaker 1: sit there and preach to the people. So everybody that's
- 8:39Speaker 1: at the disability parade, everybody that fought for human rights,
- 8:43Speaker 1: for disabilities, you know, for disabilities, any disability advocate, Thank
- 8:47Speaker 1: you so much for the work that you're doing. Thank
- 8:49Speaker 1: you for putting yourselves out there. Thank you for not
- 8:51Speaker 1: being afraid of what the world thinks about you and
- 8:53Speaker 1: loving yourself regardless of your situation because you are worthy
- 8:56Speaker 1: of love. You're important. You is smart. You is kind.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Awesome.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 9:02Speaker 2: You're great. It is blind appreciation month, too. No, blind
- 9:07Speaker 2: awareness month. This is our month right here.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Blind awareness, my brother.
- 9:11Speaker 2: White cane month and all that. Like, this is our
- 9:14Speaker 2: month right here, too.
- 9:14Speaker 1: It's also, it's a lot of months because it's breast cancer.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Domestic violence.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Domestic violence awareness. So anybody that had to fight those battles,
- 9:22Speaker 1: you know, shout out.
- 9:23Speaker 2: To them as well. I'm hard with y'all. Yeah, exactly.
- 9:26Speaker 1: But a young lady reached out to me this morning.
- 9:28Speaker 1: I was like, you know what? This is what we're
- 9:29Speaker 1: going to talk about today. So she wrote me... I
- 9:33Speaker 1: need my phone. Wolf, can you pass it to me?
- 9:35Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie, yo. I mean, when people hear
- 9:37Speaker 2: that we're in the next episode, when y'all dropping, y'all quit?
- 9:40Speaker 2: Y'all not doing it no more?
- 9:41Speaker 1: What happened? Oh, no. We just was waiting on the
- 9:43Speaker 1: studio shit. We switched.
- 9:45Speaker 2: That's it. Now we back like crack, you know?
- 9:48Speaker 1: Our studio got, they bought the building out.
- 9:51Speaker 2: So we in a new studio.
- 9:53Speaker 1: We're still with WTF because WTF has a lot of locations.
- 9:56Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a studio to record at,
- 9:58Speaker 1: definitely check out WTF Musicians. But we had to wait.
- 10:03Speaker 1: That was our favorite location, too. We were so used
- 10:05Speaker 1: to it. We've been there for years.
- 10:07Speaker 2: That was like our second home.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Yeah, five years doing our shit.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Second home. Really like that.
- 10:12Speaker 1: It definitely... getting up and.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Down the stairs by myself and I gotta learn a
- 10:15Speaker 2: whole new building.
- 10:16Speaker 1: So she wrote me and she said hi she said
- 10:19Speaker 1: her name but I'll leave that you know anonymous I
- 10:22Speaker 1: recently became paraplegic due to a car accident I want
- 10:25Speaker 1: to get some advice I see your page and how
- 10:27Speaker 1: happy you are I'm still battling with the old me
- 10:30Speaker 1: so it becomes depressing my question for you is have
- 10:33Speaker 1: you experienced this if so how long does it last
- 10:36Speaker 1: I want to get to the part where I'm happy
- 10:38Speaker 1: and can move on with life and the things I
- 10:39Speaker 1: still haven't done yet okay so I wrote back to
- 10:43Speaker 1: her privately, but I also told her, you know, this
- 10:46Speaker 1: is something where it really, happiness is a choice. You
- 10:50Speaker 1: get what I'm saying? You have to choose whether or
- 10:52Speaker 1: not you want to sit in your misery or choose
- 10:54Speaker 1: to be happy. And that's for anybody, whether you have
- 10:56Speaker 1: a disability or whether you don't, there's people that struggle
- 10:59Speaker 1: with happiness and they have all of their physical capabilities.
- 11:01Speaker 1: They have all the money in the world. They have family, cars, money,
- 11:04Speaker 1: and they're still not happy. So it's really just a choice.
- 11:07Speaker 1: So for me, um, I literally, when I woke up
- 11:11Speaker 1: in the hospital, like, of course you still have those
- 11:13Speaker 1: feelings of sadness. I'm not going to act like I
- 11:15Speaker 1: just woke up and whoop-de-fucking-do. You know what I'm saying?
- 11:17Speaker 2: It took time.
- 11:18Speaker 1: It took time, but it's also, it's not like a,
- 11:21Speaker 1: this is a grief. You're literally grieving your old self.
- 11:24Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? You're going to always have
- 11:26Speaker 1: those moments where it's like, you could be good for
- 11:28Speaker 1: a long stretch period of time, but then the next
- 11:30Speaker 1: thing you know, it's like, damn, like, how the fuck
- 11:33Speaker 1: did I get in a wheelchair? Or how the fuck
- 11:34Speaker 1: did I get blind? You know what I mean?
- 11:35Speaker 2: It's like that.
- 11:36Speaker 1: It's been 14 years and I'm still, still.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Come across grief like I still come across depression exactly.
- 11:42Speaker 1: So you can't say it's no time limit on this
- 11:44Speaker 1: shit because you're gonna have your days with anything like
- 11:47Speaker 1: for me like I said I've been in this chair
- 11:49Speaker 1: 15 years I've been fine I was fine this whole
- 11:51Speaker 1: year this was actually like a really fucking good year
- 11:53Speaker 1: for me I got married like I'm going back to
- 11:55Speaker 1: school there's so many good things that's happening about to
- 11:57Speaker 1: get my license you know what I mean so for
- 12:00Speaker 1: all these things that's happening this one little thing almost
- 12:03Speaker 1: made me forget about all the good things that God
- 12:05Speaker 1: has done for me my son is in second grade
- 12:07Speaker 1: he's doing great He's on his reading level. He's doing
- 12:10Speaker 1: what he's supposed to do in school. I'm raising an
- 12:12Speaker 1: outstanding young man.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Shout out to the king.
- 12:13Speaker 1: I have a good family unit. I have my mom
- 12:16Speaker 1: still alive. My dad's still alive. We don't understand how
- 12:18Speaker 1: much of an underrated blessing that is to still have
- 12:21Speaker 1: your family members and your loved ones alive, to still
- 12:23Speaker 1: be healthy, even though we may have these physical adversities.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Other than that, we're healthy, besides my blood pressure.
- 12:31Speaker 2: But most important, you are alive.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 12:33Speaker 2: We look past that. I wake up some days... I mean,
- 12:37Speaker 2: the world is darker than my blindness, like, honestly speaking.
- 12:40Speaker 2: But it's like, you got to motivate yourself. Like, I
- 12:43Speaker 2: go in the mirror every morning. I motivate myself. I
- 12:45Speaker 2: don't wait for nobody to call me and tell me
- 12:48Speaker 2: I'm doing something. Like, I just did a video of
- 12:51Speaker 2: me just standing in the mirror, and I'm telling myself
- 12:53Speaker 2: how powerful and great I am, even though I can't
- 12:55Speaker 2: see myself. It's like, I'm not waiting for somebody to
- 12:57Speaker 2: push the button and say, okay, you could be happy today.
- 13:00Speaker 2: I'm not doing that.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Because if you judge yourself based on what the world
- 13:04Speaker 1: will look at you as, You'll always be weak because
- 13:06Speaker 1: when they see us, when they see anybody with a disability,
- 13:08Speaker 1: they're like, oh, well, I don't know how they do it.
- 13:11Speaker 1: How can this, you know what I'm saying? Like people
- 13:14Speaker 1: feel sorry for us. So you don't need to be
- 13:16Speaker 1: another person feeling sorry for yourself. The world is already
- 13:18Speaker 1: going to do that for you.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 13:19Speaker 1: You have to make sure that you tell yourself, like, look,
- 13:22Speaker 1: this is my situation now. I never chose this. But
- 13:24Speaker 1: you have to get comfortable in it because what are
- 13:26Speaker 1: you going to do? Lay down and die. I literally
- 13:28Speaker 1: experienced the most traumatic thing a couple of weeks ago.
- 13:32Speaker 1: My building, somebody jumped off my building and killed himself.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Goddamn.
- 13:36Speaker 1: A young boy killed himself on top of my building,
- 13:39Speaker 1: and I witnessed the whole thing. Like, I seen it
- 13:41Speaker 1: with my own two eyes. I sat there. I was
- 13:43Speaker 1: praying over him, and I was just praying he did
- 13:45Speaker 1: not do it while the whole world is sitting out
- 13:47Speaker 1: there with their cameras out, everybody just recording as if
- 13:50Speaker 1: this young man doesn't have loved ones and family that
- 13:52Speaker 1: have to find out this way, which was traumatic.
- 13:54Speaker 2: That's crazy.
- 13:55Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, mental health is real.
- 13:56Speaker 2: It's real.
- 13:57Speaker 1: So if you allow yourself to get in your head
- 13:59Speaker 1: and you stay in your head and you know that
- 14:00Speaker 1: you're already having negative thoughts, You might not want to
- 14:02Speaker 1: be here one day and you might follow through with
- 14:04Speaker 1: those thoughts. So it's important that you pull yourself out
- 14:07Speaker 1: of those dark moments because it might not ever be
- 14:09Speaker 1: anybody to come and save you. For me, I have God.
- 14:12Speaker 1: So whenever I get in those spaces and I'm feeling
- 14:15Speaker 1: down and I'm feeling all myself, I remember God didn't
- 14:17Speaker 1: fucking keep me here to be no weak ass bitch.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Hello.
- 14:20Speaker 1: The fuck he saved me here to be another motherfucker
- 14:22Speaker 1: that's sitting here moping like, whoa, it's me. Nah, he
- 14:25Speaker 1: kept me here because 50 Cent said that shit. And
- 14:27Speaker 1: I always tell you, he said, and it's clear that
- 14:28Speaker 1: I'm here for a real reason. Because he got hit
- 14:30Speaker 1: like I got hit and he ain't fucking breathing. So
- 14:32Speaker 1: when there's people that lose their lives every day that
- 14:34Speaker 1: still wanted to live, how dare I be ungrateful for
- 14:37Speaker 1: the gift that God gave me, which is another chance
- 14:38Speaker 1: at life. I could have been dead at 15, but instead.
- 14:41Speaker 2: I'm here at 30. Grab me by your motherfucking hands. Yeah,
- 14:44Speaker 2: grab me by the wheels. Grab me your ass. Where
- 14:46Speaker 2: the hell do you think you going?
- 14:47Speaker 1: But this is what I'm saying. So it's important to
- 14:49Speaker 1: also have people that speak life into you. It's important
- 14:52Speaker 1: to have people that don't pity you. It's important to
- 14:54Speaker 1: have those people that are still going to treat you
- 14:55Speaker 1: like you're regular. For me, I had my family. They
- 14:58Speaker 1: didn't let this, they said, what, bitch? You're still going
- 15:00Speaker 1: to wash the dishes? You're still going to clean your room?
- 15:02Speaker 1: You're still going to do that? Like, I had to
- 15:04Speaker 1: wash my own ass. I ain't have nobody doing that
- 15:06Speaker 1: for me. You get what I'm saying? I had to
- 15:08Speaker 1: change myself. I had to do everything by myself. And
- 15:10Speaker 1: when you get to that point, when you're ready to
- 15:12Speaker 1: start doing things on your own, you will. I started
- 15:14Speaker 1: taking pictures of myself in the chair as soon as
- 15:16Speaker 1: I got home because I'm not going to let anybody
- 15:18Speaker 1: think I'm ducking from my situation.
- 15:19Speaker 2: It's still beautiful.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Yeah, this is still my throne. So at the end
- 15:22Speaker 1: of the day, if you are in a wheelchair, if
- 15:23Speaker 1: you are newly injured, look at that shit as a throne.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Look at yourself as a queen or a king. Don't
- 15:28Speaker 1: allow anybody to displace you off the place that God
- 15:31Speaker 1: puts you in, and he puts you in a high place, okay?
- 15:33Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 15:33Speaker 1: The fact that you're still here is a blessing enough.
- 15:36Speaker 1: And if that's not enough for you, then I don't
- 15:37Speaker 1: know what to tell you, because me personally, there's no
- 15:40Speaker 1: bigger gift than life.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Then another thing, too, is start running away from your problems.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Seek help. There's nothing wrong with going to get a therapist. Like,
- 15:48Speaker 2: I see a therapist every Thursday still.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Me too.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Like, I just signed up to a therapist because I
- 15:52Speaker 2: felt like my problems was bottled up and it's like,
- 15:56Speaker 2: I feel like nobody can understand. Instead of me talking
- 15:59Speaker 2: to my sisters or talking to a friend that's going
- 16:01Speaker 2: to talk back at me, I'd rather talk to somebody
- 16:04Speaker 2: that's just going to sit there and don't know me
- 16:06Speaker 2: and that's just going to listen.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And they're not biased.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes I don't need a response. Sometimes I just
- 16:10Speaker 2: need somebody just to listen to me.
- 16:11Speaker 1: To hear you.
- 16:11Speaker 2: So it's like, and then I get a lot out
- 16:14Speaker 2: on the table and it's like, okay. And at the end,
- 16:16Speaker 2: she's like, maybe you just need to try it. And
- 16:18Speaker 2: I got a black queen. It's like, I'm not looking
- 16:21Speaker 2: for a man to say, oh, I want to talk
- 16:23Speaker 2: to a man because the man understand me. I got
- 16:25Speaker 2: a black queen and she just sit there. She just listen.
- 16:27Speaker 2: She give me the best fight. Won't you just try this?
- 16:30Speaker 2: I start doing it. I start talking to her. That's
- 16:32Speaker 2: why I end up going back to my services, getting
- 16:34Speaker 2: my services back. So it's like, stop running away from
- 16:36Speaker 2: your problem and face it. Go seek a therapist. Like,
- 16:39Speaker 2: listen to music, draw, write, do something. Just don't feel
- 16:43Speaker 2: like you at that edge and you need to jump.
- 16:45Speaker 1: And therapy is not always a. All the time thing
- 16:48Speaker 1: because I took a break from my therapist this summer
- 16:50Speaker 1: because I felt like, I'm like, you know what? I'm
- 16:52Speaker 1: good right now. But it's crazy that as soon as
- 16:54Speaker 1: I took that little break, it just happened to be
- 16:56Speaker 1: the fucking most traumatic summer of my life. Not most traumatic,
- 16:59Speaker 1: but you know, I was just in a dark place
- 17:00Speaker 1: and did not even know. So now it's like, okay,
- 17:02Speaker 1: I'm going back to therapy and I'm in a good space,
- 17:04Speaker 1: but it's still okay to talk to people even when
- 17:06Speaker 1: you're in that good space.
- 17:07Speaker 2: And I forgot to have the right to feel like
- 17:08Speaker 2: that because every time April 21st come around, that's like
- 17:11Speaker 2: my darkest moments.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Because that's the day.
- 17:13Speaker 2: That's the day I got shot because it plays in
- 17:15Speaker 2: your head. Like, what could you do different? Did you
- 17:17Speaker 2: have to be there? Why did you have it? But
- 17:19Speaker 2: I don't question myself because it's like, I feel like
- 17:21Speaker 2: God put me there for a reason to be who
- 17:23Speaker 2: I am today.
- 17:25Speaker 1: How do you deal with, because we both, you was
- 17:28Speaker 1: at a party before you got, right?
- 17:30Speaker 2: I came out the party.
- 17:31Speaker 1: So for both of us, we both got. shot because
- 17:35Speaker 1: of parties and stuff still in the club you're a
- 17:36Speaker 1: party promoter yeah we was just in the club together
- 17:39Speaker 1: and didn't even know but you you're still a party
- 17:42Speaker 1: but how did you get back into your how did
- 17:43Speaker 1: you decide you wanted to be a party promoter even
- 17:45Speaker 1: though that that situation happened.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I got I got shot when I got shot like
- 17:50Speaker 2: a month later I was in a club but it
- 17:52Speaker 2: was like I'm what was that experience like it was
- 17:54Speaker 2: just I was paranoid Okay.
- 17:57Speaker 1: So walk us through that.
- 17:58Speaker 2: I'm in a club, but I'm in a club with
- 18:00Speaker 2: my aunt. I'm in a club with my cousin. I
- 18:02Speaker 2: look at my brother. So it's like, I'm with him.
- 18:04Speaker 2: I know for a fact he going to go for me.
- 18:06Speaker 2: But just being in a club, I'm hearing different voices
- 18:09Speaker 2: than the music. And it's like, I'm paranoid. I'm moving
- 18:12Speaker 2: around looking. And he just, he whispered in my ear like, yo,
- 18:14Speaker 2: you are right. I got you, bro.
- 18:15Speaker 1: But what made you decide to go to the club
- 18:18Speaker 1: a month later?
- 18:18Speaker 2: I'm still battling being an adult. So I always wanted
- 18:21Speaker 2: to be, I'm still C-Note. So what would C-Note do?
- 18:23Speaker 2: C-Note would be in a club. But I'm in a club,
- 18:25Speaker 2: I'm paranoid.
- 18:26Speaker 1: So that's before you were 30 days old.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm battling it myself. So it's like, in my mind,
- 18:30Speaker 2: I know I'm going to see it again. Let me
- 18:31Speaker 2: go to the club. I'm still Sean nigga. I'm still
- 18:33Speaker 2: that nigga. But I'm paranoid with it, though. That PTSD, nigga,
- 18:37Speaker 2: I chair fell. And I felt like it was the
- 18:39Speaker 2: end of the world.
- 18:40Speaker 1: Did people know you were blind?
- 18:41Speaker 2: Nah, nobody. They didn't know I was blind.
- 18:43Speaker 1: They didn't know. So they just thinking you just... Just regular.
- 18:45Speaker 2: People, like, people... He had girls dancing on me. I
- 18:50Speaker 2: wasn't holding on to him. I'm still... Moving around, nobody
- 18:53Speaker 2: know I'm blonde.
- 18:53Speaker 1: So you was dancing.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Yeah. He's like, he wouldn't let nobody get close to me.
- 18:58Speaker 2: As soon as a person felt like they brushing against me,
- 19:00Speaker 2: he put their hand on it. Now I'm like, move
- 19:02Speaker 2: over some more. But it's like, I don't want to
- 19:04Speaker 2: live like this. Because he's like, I can see it
- 19:06Speaker 2: all in your face. That paranoia in you. I'm like, yeah,
- 19:08Speaker 2: we out. And I walked out and I said, I'm
- 19:10Speaker 2: not ready for this shit.
- 19:11Speaker 1: So how long were you in the club before you
- 19:13Speaker 1: realized you wasn't ready?
- 19:14Speaker 2: Then after that, I did a party bus. But I
- 19:17Speaker 2: was cool with the party bus because everybody on the
- 19:19Speaker 2: party bus I knew. So it's like, it's friends, it's family.
- 19:23Speaker 2: So I'm feeling good now. I'm not worrying about nothing
- 19:26Speaker 2: because I'm like, nobody on this bus going to hit me.
- 19:28Speaker 2: So it's like, I'm Gucci. Then after that, it was like,
- 19:31Speaker 2: all right, we going to the strip club. Then it's like,
- 19:34Speaker 2: that's when I got introduced to the sections. I'm always
- 19:36Speaker 2: in the section in the strip club. It's just us
- 19:38Speaker 2: females throwing money. I'm having fun. After a while, it's like, ah,
- 19:41Speaker 2: I shook that shit off. Now I'm in a club,
- 19:43Speaker 2: but I'm still paranoid to a point at a certain time, yo,
- 19:45Speaker 2: we out.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Me off this. I ain't waiting.
- 19:48Speaker 1: I mean, that's in any hood.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Yeah, bro.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Can see it, whether you can't, motherfucker. I'm out the
- 19:51Speaker 1: club before it closed.
- 19:53Speaker 2: That wasn't me. I'm there at the end of the night.
- 19:54Speaker 2: I'm chasing. I'm running behind girls from one corner to
- 19:57Speaker 2: the next corner.
- 19:58Speaker 1: But you party promote now, so you leave at the
- 20:01Speaker 1: end then.
- 20:01Speaker 2: I leave all the way at the end.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Because you got to make sure everybody get paid.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Everybody get paid and all. And I'm still paranoid.
- 20:07Speaker 1: So now that you're a party promoter, how do you
- 20:10Speaker 1: manage it while being blind? Separating the money, counting this,
- 20:15Speaker 1: doing the flyers and shit?
- 20:17Speaker 2: It's crazy because I just spoke at an organization. They
- 20:22Speaker 2: was asking me, like, I know money. I know the
- 20:24Speaker 2: difference between a dollar and a hundred dollar bill. So
- 20:27Speaker 2: then I got my sister behind the bar. That's my
- 20:29Speaker 2: eyes right there. My dog Danny at the door. That's
- 20:32Speaker 2: my eyes right there. So I put people in position.
- 20:35Speaker 2: to a point I can trust I know nothing's going
- 20:37Speaker 2: to happen. Before I used to be in a club,
- 20:39Speaker 2: it was more on I'm getting my life back. I'm dancing,
- 20:42Speaker 2: I'm drinking, I'm not really understanding what I'm really doing. Now,
- 20:47Speaker 2: I don't, when I'm in a club, I don't barely
- 20:49Speaker 2: see me. Either I'm in the back making sure the
- 20:51Speaker 2: bottles is going out right, correctly, and I put real
- 20:55Speaker 2: people around me at real times.
- 20:56Speaker 1: People that you trust.
- 20:57Speaker 2: People I trust. It's like, it's a guy, my son Nuno,
- 21:01Speaker 2: me and him started working last year with each other. But,
- 21:04Speaker 2: He's my biggest motivation. He texted me this morning, like, yo,
- 21:08Speaker 2: I did six videos. Where's yours at? I dropped them.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Now I got to get up. I put my metal
- 21:13Speaker 2: glass in. Let me go in the mirror. You ain't
- 21:14Speaker 2: going to outdo me. Like, you need to surround your people.
- 21:16Speaker 2: You need to surround yourself around good people. At the
- 21:19Speaker 2: end of the night, we count the money up and
- 21:21Speaker 2: all that. Like, everybody know I'm blind. It's no secret now.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Some people like, damn, I've been around you this whole time.
- 21:26Speaker 2: I never knew you was blind. Now I tell people
- 21:28Speaker 2: I'm blind. Ain't no secret now.
- 21:30Speaker 1: You don't try to hide it.
- 21:30Speaker 2: I don't hide shit. Because this really showed me your
- 21:34Speaker 2: loyalty to me. At the end of the night, I
- 21:36Speaker 2: give my money to my sister. I'm like, yo, go
- 21:38Speaker 2: outside before me. Because it's like I've still got that
- 21:41Speaker 2: little paranoid on me that we're leaving at the club.
- 21:45Speaker 2: We ain't got nothing on us. It's going to be
- 21:47Speaker 2: somebody outside waiting for us to get us. So I
- 21:49Speaker 2: still have that, yo, pull the car in front of
- 21:51Speaker 2: the door, bro. We just counted some shit. We ain't
- 21:54Speaker 2: working out like this. Pull the car in front of
- 21:55Speaker 2: the door. Let me jump in the car. I don't
- 21:58Speaker 2: want to be Superman no more.
- 22:00Speaker 1: But don't you think, do you think that just comes
- 22:02Speaker 1: from being blind or does that just come with wisdom?
- 22:04Speaker 1: Because moving a certain way also comes with age.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Like, because if you know you got money, if you
- 22:08Speaker 1: know this and that, even people that can see, you
- 22:11Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, they still move a.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Certain way with their money. It's wisdom, but it's even
- 22:14Speaker 2: hyphen being blind because I can't see it coming.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Because you're more paranoid.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Like, now I'm depending on somebody else to look around
- 22:19Speaker 2: me to make sure shit is moving on point. Before,
- 22:21Speaker 2: if I leave it out, I'm looking down the block,
- 22:24Speaker 2: I'm looking across the street, I'm looking at every little movement.
- 22:26Speaker 2: I'm depending on somebody else's eyes now. Right. So I'm
- 22:29Speaker 2: even more, it didn't, not for nothing in the club,
- 22:32Speaker 2: people looking at me, that's the money nigga right there.
- 22:34Speaker 2: It ain't the rest of them. That's him. He the
- 22:36Speaker 2: money nigga right there.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:37Speaker 2: It's different. It's like, they know that nigga always got
- 22:40Speaker 2: money in his pocket. I don't want a nigga to
- 22:42Speaker 2: feel like, oh, he get a one up on me
- 22:44Speaker 2: and run up on me.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Right.
- 22:46Speaker 2: So it'd be.
- 22:46Speaker 1: You gotta have people.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Put that shit in front of me. Big time. Sometime
- 22:51Speaker 2: the party going, I'll leave before the party go over. Shit.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Even, even me, I was just, Cause I got shot
- 22:56Speaker 1: too at a party. Of course.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I know my story already. So for me, when I
- 23:00Speaker 1: go out with my bros and stuff like that, they
- 23:02Speaker 1: always make sure like, you know, like my bro was like, yo,
- 23:05Speaker 1: cause we, we went from like, we was at mad
- 23:07Speaker 1: different spots on Friday. So he like, yo, like, um,
- 23:11Speaker 1: First of all, we made them put us in the cut. Because, listen,
- 23:13Speaker 1: when I'm outside with niggas that's in the streets, I
- 23:16Speaker 1: make sure, like, you get what I'm saying? You don't
- 23:17Speaker 1: want to be seen too much. I'm not trying to
- 23:19Speaker 1: be seen. I'm trying to have fun.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Yeah, you get what I'm saying?
- 23:21Speaker 1: That's why you ain't seen me and I ain't seen you.
- 23:23Speaker 1: We know how to move.
- 23:24Speaker 2: We in the same club.
- 23:25Speaker 1: We ain't even seen each other. stop stop I wasn't
- 23:30Speaker 1: even trying to make a blonde joke today but no
- 23:32Speaker 1: for real like you move a certain way because at
- 23:35Speaker 1: the end of the day when I was younger like
- 23:37Speaker 1: when I was walking and stuff it was all about
- 23:38Speaker 1: just being seen and stuff like that but now that
- 23:40Speaker 1: I'm married that I'm somebody's mother I gotta make it
- 23:42Speaker 1: home to my baby I gotta make sure my husband
- 23:44Speaker 1: can hear my voice at the end of the night
- 23:46Speaker 1: so it's like I gotta I gotta move a certain
- 23:48Speaker 1: way and everybody that's around me most of the people
- 23:50Speaker 1: that surround me been around me for years they've been
- 23:52Speaker 1: around me since I was walking especially like the niggas
- 23:54Speaker 1: I call my brothers those really my brothers you know
- 23:56Speaker 1: what I'm saying so they know like what it was
- 23:58Speaker 1: like to see me in that hospital. They know they
- 24:00Speaker 1: don't want to ever put me in that position again. So, like,
- 24:03Speaker 1: he was like, yo, my brother was like, yo, we
- 24:04Speaker 1: didn't even see when you left out. I said, nigga,
- 24:06Speaker 1: you know I'm not standing in front of no club
- 24:08Speaker 1: with you. He was like, nah, for real. Like, I
- 24:11Speaker 1: move a whole different way now. I used to go
- 24:14Speaker 1: out to the clubs all the time. Now that I'm, like,
- 24:16Speaker 1: older and stuff like that. Well, it's not even about
- 24:18Speaker 1: age because some people still go out and I don't
- 24:20Speaker 1: want to make it an age-shaming thing because enjoy your life.
- 24:22Speaker 1: But I've been in a club since I was 12
- 24:23Speaker 1: years old. You get what I'm saying? Like I literally
- 24:25Speaker 1: was sneaking with fake IDs and shit like that. Partying.
- 24:28Speaker 1: So for me, it's like a little bit more different.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Like I'll go out for somebody's birthday. Like it was
- 24:32Speaker 1: my brother's birthday this weekend. Cool. I went. See, no birthday.
- 24:34Speaker 1: I was supposed to be there, but I thought it
- 24:35Speaker 1: had stairs.
- 24:36Speaker 2: My man is a hater. That shit was a movie.
- 24:40Speaker 1: But yeah, like it's like if it's somebody's birthday, it's
- 24:42Speaker 1: something cool. But I'm never just going to the club
- 24:44Speaker 1: because it's Friday and you know what I mean? I
- 24:46Speaker 1: want to go outside and shit like that. Like I'm
- 24:47Speaker 1: going for a purpose. He in the club getting money.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I'm in the club with the niggas with money, so
- 24:51Speaker 1: I ain't got to spend none. You feel me?
- 24:53Speaker 2: And another thing, too, like, I just surround myself around
- 24:55Speaker 2: different people. So if I know you on that time, man,
- 24:58Speaker 2: I don't want to be around you, bro.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Yeah. But see, the thing about it is if I
- 25:02Speaker 1: know you on that time and you respect me, you
- 25:04Speaker 1: get what I'm saying? You know what situations to put
- 25:06Speaker 1: me in and what situations not to put me in.
- 25:08Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying? And also, I know where
- 25:10Speaker 1: I'm at. Like, if I'm going with certain people that
- 25:12Speaker 1: I know are in the streets, like, I know where
- 25:13Speaker 1: I'm going and I know how to move and I
- 25:15Speaker 1: know the people know me.
- 25:15Speaker 2: You know how to slide over yourself.
- 25:16Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying? And I know how they
- 25:17Speaker 1: move and they'll put me on. Like, yo, you go
- 25:19Speaker 1: that way real quick. You get what I'm saying? So...
- 25:21Speaker 1: It's never no misfortunes and stuff like that. Honestly, mistakes
- 25:25Speaker 1: do happen and stuff like that. But I move by
- 25:27Speaker 1: faith and not by fear because I can't walk. So
- 25:29Speaker 1: I got to just trust in God with a lot
- 25:31Speaker 1: of situations. Even they put me in kids, I don't know,
- 25:34Speaker 1: but some of the sections, they got stairs. They got
- 25:36Speaker 1: elevated sections. They put us in an elevated section. So
- 25:39Speaker 1: the nigga at kids, he like, yeah, you've been here before.
- 25:41Speaker 1: You fine. Like they don't even, you know what I'm saying?
- 25:43Speaker 1: They don't even care about my disability no more. And
- 25:45Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you're going to get up the stairs.
- 25:46Speaker 1: And we made it happen and we situated it and
- 25:48Speaker 1: we had a fucking bowl. But the most underrated blessing
- 25:51Speaker 1: is making it home safe. You get what I'm saying?
- 25:53Speaker 1: So as long as- That's my main goal. So for me,
- 25:57Speaker 1: I didn't, like when I first got shot, I don't
- 25:59Speaker 1: even remember a moment because I always had PTSD. But
- 26:03Speaker 1: I think I finally got rid of my PTSD when
- 26:05Speaker 1: I went to a gun range for the first time.
- 26:07Speaker 1: My first time in Atlanta, I went to a gun
- 26:09Speaker 1: range and I held the same gun that I got
- 26:11Speaker 1: shot with. And I was shooting with it and it
- 26:13Speaker 1: did something so therapeutic.
- 26:15Speaker 2: It took the power back.
- 26:15Speaker 1: I took my power back because I was so fearful
- 26:18Speaker 1: of just guns and situations because I'm like, oh my God,
- 26:21Speaker 1: I can get shot. I can get shot. I can
- 26:23Speaker 1: get shot. But then it's like, yo, you can't live
- 26:24Speaker 1: your life like that.
- 26:25Speaker 2: No, absolutely.
- 26:26Speaker 1: It's nowhere to live. Living your life in fear, you
- 26:28Speaker 1: will never fully have a true fair life. So for
- 26:30Speaker 1: people that get into car accidents, get in a car again.
- 26:32Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Something can happen anywhere. You
- 26:35Speaker 1: can be sitting in your house. People get shot through
- 26:37Speaker 1: their window. You know what I'm saying? Laying in their bed.
- 26:39Speaker 2: The PTSD wash away when you throw yourself out there. Yeah,
- 26:42Speaker 2: you have to put yourself out there. Like now, I
- 26:44Speaker 2: don't pop, I don't jump no more. I don't do
- 26:46Speaker 2: none of that shit no more. It just be, I
- 26:47Speaker 2: turn around, look, like, yeah, it be good, yeah, it
- 26:49Speaker 2: be good, bro.
- 26:50Speaker 1: My baby likes to stab balloons, so, oh boy, I
- 26:52Speaker 1: had to get over that fear real quick. That's my
- 26:54Speaker 1: boy with that. Nigga's trying to get low, like, damn it,
- 26:57Speaker 1: throw myself out the chair.
- 26:58Speaker 2: I hated that shit. firecrackers go off I'm like I'm
- 27:00Speaker 2: going in the house I gotta.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Turn it off I had a friend that got mad
- 27:03Speaker 1: at me because her baby shower was like on the
- 27:06Speaker 1: 4th of July or you know in New York around
- 27:08Speaker 1: 4th of July they gonna just let off they let
- 27:10Speaker 1: off fireworks the whole summer fuck that the whole summer
- 27:12Speaker 1: fireworks is going off this bitch had a baby shower
- 27:16Speaker 1: this bitch had a baby shower and this is why
- 27:17Speaker 1: it's important to be around people that understand you and
- 27:20Speaker 1: I could tell this story me and the bitch cool
- 27:22Speaker 1: but bitch you know I'm talking about you she had
- 27:25Speaker 1: a baby shower or whatever and She was wondering. I
- 27:28Speaker 1: stayed at the corner. I gave the gift. And I said, yeah,
- 27:30Speaker 1: walk this shit down the block. You know what I'm saying?
- 27:32Speaker 1: But I'm not going. And she was confused as to
- 27:34Speaker 1: why I wasn't going. So now when my turn came
- 27:36Speaker 1: and it was my baby shower, she's like, oh, well,
- 27:38Speaker 1: you didn't come to my da-da-da-da-da. She told somebody that.
- 27:41Speaker 1: And I say, yo, I had PTSD. You know what
- 27:42Speaker 1: I'm saying?
- 27:43Speaker 2: I understand that.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I still do. I'm not saying that I'll never get
- 27:46Speaker 1: triggered again because God forbid if I, you know what
- 27:48Speaker 1: I'm saying? You never know. I've been in situations where
- 27:50Speaker 1: people were shooting again and I've been in a party.
- 27:52Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I literally was at a
- 27:54Speaker 1: party where they were shooting again and I still got
- 27:55Speaker 1: triggered again. So just when you think you can get
- 27:57Speaker 1: over something, it can always come back. The thing about
- 27:59Speaker 1: therapy is they just help, they just teach you how
- 28:02Speaker 1: to deal with your trauma, but they can't make you
- 28:04Speaker 1: get over it.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Get over it.
- 28:05Speaker 1: So we can't, it's nothing we can do to tell
- 28:07Speaker 1: y'all like, hey, this is all going to be okay
- 28:09Speaker 1: one day.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Nah, it's not.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Because nigga, you might wake up to, we all good
- 28:12Speaker 1: right now. A fucking elevator might break in my building.
- 28:15Speaker 1: I might be pissed because my son got to get
- 28:16Speaker 1: to school. You know what I'm saying? And I might
- 28:17Speaker 1: get triggered by, I can't get him down the stairs.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Right then and there.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Exactly. So it's just about learning coping mechanisms. It's about
- 28:23Speaker 1: having trustworthy people around you, people that you know no
- 28:27Speaker 1: matter what, they're going to be good to you because
- 28:29Speaker 1: when you're really disabled, you have to understand you're going
- 28:31Speaker 1: to have to depend on people and you have to
- 28:33Speaker 1: be okay with it.
- 28:34Speaker 2: It's okay with it. Ask for help. There's nothing wrong
- 28:36Speaker 2: with asking for help. Because even like you said, like
- 28:40Speaker 2: with you, like me, it was somebody let off a
- 28:43Speaker 2: Roman candle and I hit the floor.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Oh no, I hate them shirts.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I hit the floor and when I hit the floor, like,
- 28:49Speaker 2: I try to laugh it off, but I'm just hearing
- 28:51Speaker 2: my heart beat inside. And my best friend, he rubbed
- 28:56Speaker 2: my back. And he's like, yo, it's good, bro. Get up.
- 28:59Speaker 2: He left me. He picked me up. He put me
- 29:01Speaker 2: back in the chair because I fell out the chair
- 29:02Speaker 2: thinking he was shooting. And he's squeezing my shoulder. He's like, yo,
- 29:04Speaker 2: you're going to be good. But everybody, we laugh. Like,
- 29:07Speaker 2: everybody laughing. I'm laughing, too.
- 29:08Speaker 1: But for that.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Moment, he knew what I was going through. And after that,
- 29:14Speaker 2: he's like, yo, come on. I'm going over here. Now
- 29:15Speaker 2: I'm holding on to him. Because he understood and he
- 29:18Speaker 2: had to tell me. Just off him rubbing my back,
- 29:20Speaker 2: I felt that, like, that warm shoulder. Like, I'm good.
- 29:25Speaker 2: I'm in good hands now.
- 29:26Speaker 1: And then also, you can't get mad at your friends
- 29:28Speaker 1: for not knowing. No, you definitely can't. Also, because I
- 29:30Speaker 1: got really upset with one of my close friends or
- 29:32Speaker 1: whatever because she took me to Brownsville for Fourth of
- 29:34Speaker 1: July weekend.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Oh, never go.
- 29:36Speaker 1: It was around Fourth of July weekend.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Oh, never go.
- 29:38Speaker 1: And they just letting us, like, when I say the fire.
- 29:39Speaker 2: You should have knew better.
- 29:41Speaker 1: I just was going there as a support system. I
- 29:42Speaker 1: was just, you know, a wingman.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Ain't no support in Brownsville.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Yo, and she said we was only going to be
- 29:46Speaker 1: there for a few minutes.
- 29:47Speaker 2: You should have knew better. Ain't no support in Brownsville.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Yo, I knew once we seen Biggie Smalls' picture. You know, Langston,
- 29:51Speaker 1: is that, what's that, L.A. 's Langston Hughes or whatever?
- 29:54Speaker 2: And Biggie Knight was supposed to be in Brownsville.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I said. Once I seen that picture,
- 29:57Speaker 1: I said, oh God, I'm about.
- 29:58Speaker 2: To meet him. Nigga said, go.
- 29:59Speaker 1: No, that's how I felt. I said, oh, I'm about
- 30:03Speaker 1: to go. So I'm sitting in the car and she
- 30:06Speaker 1: was like, come out the car. I'm like, I'm not
- 30:07Speaker 1: fucking getting out this car. You get what I'm saying?
- 30:10Speaker 1: And they letting off the fireworks so much. It just
- 30:12Speaker 1: sounded like boom, boom, boom. And I just got really
- 30:14Speaker 1: pissed at her. I was like, you triggered my PTSD.
- 30:16Speaker 1: But I had to take accountability. I triggered my own
- 30:18Speaker 1: PTSD because I knew he was going outside. I knew
- 30:21Speaker 1: that fireworks are going to happen. You know what I'm saying?
- 30:24Speaker 1: But I just wasn't.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Okay with how long. She went to Brownsville. That's what
- 30:27Speaker 2: you should have left with. What you talking about?
- 30:29Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Nah, this gangsta ain't going to Brownsville. No, I'm kidding.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Listen, my friend, my homegirl, you know, one thing about Brownsville,
- 30:36Speaker 1: the bitches is even tougher than me. It's like, them
- 30:38Speaker 1: bitches is pit bulls. My friend, she gonna go.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Bitches is niggas.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Yeah, she gonna go. That's why it's like, I wasn't
- 30:43Speaker 1: really tripping about that because I've been to Brownsville plenty
- 30:45Speaker 1: of times with her.
- 30:45Speaker 2: My wife live in Brownsville.
- 30:47Speaker 1: That shit is the trenches.
- 30:48Speaker 2: I go in at night and I come out in
- 30:50Speaker 2: the morning. I'm going in when everybody's sleeping.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Yo, my friend be like, I'm not going nowhere. I
- 30:54Speaker 1: can't take my knife. I'm like, this bitch is crazy.
- 30:56Speaker 2: A knife? You need a gun for Brownsville?
- 30:58Speaker 1: This bitch know how to boof a fucking knife up her...
- 31:02Speaker 1: I'm not fucking with Brownsville.
- 31:03Speaker 2: That's too much. If you gotta do that, that's too much.
- 31:05Speaker 2: I ain't going to Brownsville.
- 31:06Speaker 1: That's why we telling her, like, nah, stay home. Cause
- 31:08Speaker 1: she the friend.
- 31:09Speaker 2: That's the friend you call.
- 31:10Speaker 1: I had a situation where some girl was getting crazy
- 31:13Speaker 1: and she was like, I'm about to come out there.
- 31:14Speaker 1: I said, please don't. You gonna have us all in jail.
- 31:17Speaker 1: You call her when you want shit to go too far.
- 31:21Speaker 1: You know you got different friends for different reasons. You
- 31:23Speaker 1: call that bitch when you want to possibly be fighting
- 31:25Speaker 1: an attempt or a murder. You don't call that bitch
- 31:28Speaker 1: for nothing less. That's why it's like, I respect my
- 31:30Speaker 1: Brooklyn friends. I only got like two, I just told
- 31:32Speaker 1: the other day, I only got like two Brooklyn friends.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Other than that, you see, you my brother. But them
- 31:37Speaker 1: other bitches, them my Brooklyn friends.
- 31:38Speaker 2: The Brooklyn girls is crazy what you just said. No, Brooklyn.
- 31:41Speaker 1: My husband is from Brooklyn. So, yeah, I know this shit.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Y'all motherfuckers is crazy. You see, you changed their life around.
- 31:47Speaker 1: I done heard a lot of stories about your nut ass, too.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Don't let this motherfucker fool you, sitting there smiling like that.
- 31:52Speaker 2: I'm a sidewalk nigga now.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Nigga, what was you, what they said? I think my
- 31:56Speaker 1: baby daddy was like, yeah, this nigga was like, you
- 31:58Speaker 1: know the nigga from that movie when he was like,
- 32:00Speaker 1: what's that movie, Don't Breathe, when the blonde nigga was shooting?
- 32:02Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Yeah, he was saying I was here.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Yo, I changed my life.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Nigga was a blonde John Wick, please.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I don't do that no more. I changed my life.
- 32:10Speaker 2: I don't do that no more.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Exactly. That's why I said Brooklyn.
- 32:12Speaker 2: I'm a sidewalk nigga now.
- 32:12Speaker 1: It's a different type of air. When I went out there,
- 32:14Speaker 1: because my mama live out there now, I said, ooh,
- 32:16Speaker 1: I'm choking. The air out there is even different.
- 32:19Speaker 2: It's a little bit thick. When you could just walk
- 32:21Speaker 2: outside and you don't got no beef, no problems.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Oh, that's a, I mean, I'm a girl, so I
- 32:25Speaker 1: never had to.
- 32:26Speaker 2: And I'm walking with the sticks and people were like, yo,
- 32:28Speaker 2: you doing a good job? Yo, I love it. And
- 32:31Speaker 2: it's like, damn. This is what I've been running from
- 32:34Speaker 2: the whole time. This peace? Yeah, I'm downtown and I'm
- 32:36Speaker 2: walking and the lady, she rubbed my back. She said, yo,
- 32:39Speaker 2: you're doing a good job. I'm like, thank you. It's like,
- 32:42Speaker 2: I'm running away from something that's just, it's my life now.
- 32:44Speaker 1: But I'm glad you said that because let's talk about
- 32:47Speaker 1: the people. So people, it's a difference between being supportive
- 32:50Speaker 1: and wanting to be helpful and then downright just disrespecting.
- 32:53Speaker 1: The other day, I'm in Dollar Tree. Yeah, because a
- 32:55Speaker 1: real bad bitch still shop at Dollar Tree, period. Who don't?
- 32:58Speaker 1: So I'm in Dollar Tree and the lady like, you
- 33:02Speaker 1: by yourself? I'm like, yeah. Look, I'm like, yeah. And
- 33:05Speaker 1: she's like, oh, you're going to road by yourself too?
- 33:08Speaker 1: Going to road by yourself means like you're about to
- 33:10Speaker 1: go outside by yourself too. I'm like, yeah. And then
- 33:13Speaker 1: she's like, oh, that's, yeah. She's like, oh, that's, that's crazy.
- 33:18Speaker 1: You should have somebody. I said, miss, I'm a whole mother. Like,
- 33:21Speaker 1: I'm a whole grown-ass woman. Like, I came into this
- 33:23Speaker 1: store by myself. How the fuck you think I'm going
- 33:25Speaker 1: to get out? You think I came into this store
- 33:26Speaker 1: and thought I need somebody to drop me home or
- 33:28Speaker 1: drive me? You know what I'm saying? She said, oh, no.
- 33:30Speaker 2: That's the percentage of people that need to be educated.
- 33:31Speaker 1: She said, no, I was just trying to help you.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I was just going to help you. That's why I
- 33:34Speaker 1: was asking. I said, but when I said no the
- 33:36Speaker 1: first two times politely, like, I'm good, you should have
- 33:39Speaker 1: just let that because at this point, now you're disrespecting me.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Now it's insulting as if I'm not capable of taking
- 33:42Speaker 1: care of myself. The worst thing you could do is
- 33:44Speaker 1: make me feel like I'm not, you get what I'm saying?
- 33:46Speaker 1: I'm not able. I done worked all these years and
- 33:49Speaker 1: did all this shit and put myself through all these
- 33:51Speaker 1: lessons just so I could be able to do shit
- 33:52Speaker 1: by myself. And I've been independent walking. So imagine rolling. Nigga,
- 33:55Speaker 1: I'll drag my ass down the stairs like a snail
- 33:57Speaker 1: before I let a motherfucker think and they keeping me
- 33:59Speaker 1: in somebody's motherfucking crib. You understand what I'm saying? That's
- 34:01Speaker 1: how independent I am. So I think that people need
- 34:04Speaker 1: to learn. That's what I said. People need to learn
- 34:07Speaker 1: just to let, disabled people be disabled in peace. Like,
- 34:10Speaker 1: we don't always want to have a conversation. I don't
- 34:12Speaker 1: want to sit there and be like, oh my God,
- 34:13Speaker 1: you're so strong. Like, people literally walk up to me like,
- 34:16Speaker 1: oh my, what happened to you? What you doing in
- 34:18Speaker 1: that wheelchair? And I be telling people like, you know me?
- 34:20Speaker 1: What Juicy say?
- 34:21Speaker 2: You know me, nigga? That's too much. Do you know me, nigga?
- 34:24Speaker 1: Like, what you fucking asking me?
- 34:25Speaker 2: What you doing in that wheelchair?
- 34:26Speaker 1: Because now every day I got to talk about my trauma.
- 34:28Speaker 1: And it's a difference between people that like, like the
- 34:30Speaker 1: church people, the people that, you know, the old ladies
- 34:32Speaker 1: that want to pray with me and shit. I don't,
- 34:33Speaker 1: I don't mind talking to them because it's a way
- 34:35Speaker 1: that they approach. You get what I'm saying? But if
- 34:37Speaker 1: you just approach me, the first thing you say, not, hey,
- 34:39Speaker 1: how you doing? Why are you in a wheelchair? Then
- 34:42Speaker 1: some nigga thought he was funny. Some ugly nigga, he
- 34:45Speaker 1: gonna say, oh yeah, I need a girl in a wheelchair.
- 34:47Speaker 1: And then I was like, I'm married. He was like, no,
- 34:50Speaker 1: you didn't let me finish. Let me finish. Because he's
- 34:51Speaker 1: in front of a bunch of niggas. And he's like, oh,
- 34:53Speaker 1: because you can never walk out of my life. I said, nigga,
- 34:55Speaker 1: I wouldn't even come into your life. Do you see
- 34:57Speaker 1: how you fucking look, nigga? You know, like, and that
- 35:00Speaker 1: shit is so played out because y'all thinking y'all funny.
- 35:02Speaker 1: But then it's like, when I get real funny, nigga,
- 35:04Speaker 1: then y'all gonna be like, oh, this bitch is really disrespectful.
- 35:06Speaker 1: And I'm really going to disrespect the shit out of you.
- 35:07Speaker 1: And I disrespected the fuck out of him in front
- 35:09Speaker 1: of all those grown ass men. Nigga, if I was walking,
- 35:12Speaker 1: you couldn't even see me. So why the fuck you
- 35:13Speaker 1: think you're going to do it in a wheelchair?
- 35:14Speaker 2: Again, disabled, not desperate.
- 35:16Speaker 1: Two different words.
- 35:17Speaker 2: We regular people.
- 35:18Speaker 1: So when you think you're gonna be funny with somebody
- 35:21Speaker 1: and I take jokes all day but with people I
- 35:23Speaker 1: fuck with with people I know you know what I'm
- 35:24Speaker 1: saying strangers no that's disrespectful cause you don't even know

- 42:47Speaker 2: dressed like that. She's talking about God and this, that,
- 42:50Speaker 2: and the third. i held it down i don't even

- 43:24Speaker 1: a lot of them are just preaching things that they
- 43:26Speaker 1: don't even believe in. I knew church was getting too

- 43:39Speaker 1: In the church, and that's what I said. And that's
- 43:40Speaker 1: not every church. I'm not going to sit there and
- 43:42Speaker 1: downplay every church because there are some.

- 44:28Speaker 2: What is somebody that.
- 44:29Speaker 1: What is somebody that believe in God supposed to look like?
- 44:33Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 44:34Speaker 1: What is they supposed to look like? Because I know
- 44:36Speaker 1: some hoes that are closer with God than motherfuckers that
- 44:39Speaker 1: act like that. You know what I'm saying?
- 44:40Speaker 2: Church people. Yeah.
- 44:42Speaker 1: And the church people be the main ones coming home
- 44:43Speaker 1: to judge. What's the first thing they say? Thou shall
- 44:45Speaker 1: not judge. May he who cast the first stone be
- 44:48Speaker 1: without sin. So before you judge me for how I'm dressing,
- 44:50Speaker 1: make sure you check yourself for trying to judge me
- 44:52Speaker 1: because that's God's job. That's God's job to do. I

- 45:15Speaker 1: they try to do that to that other pastor wife.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah Brian Yeah, and he told.
- 45:19Speaker 1: Them, like, no, she look good and he got a
- 45:21Speaker 1: beautiful wife. If you keep dressing how you dress, miss.
- 45:24Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I don't sit there
- 45:25Speaker 1: and worry about what nobody got on because of the
- 45:27Speaker 1: fact that I'm even allowed to afford clothes. Please, I'm grateful.
- 45:31Speaker 1: And as long as my husband don't got nothing to

- 46:35Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Another thing for people that are disabled...
- 46:38Speaker 1: Got to have tough skin. You got to. Because it's
- 46:39Speaker 1: always going to be somebody with something to say. It's
- 46:41Speaker 1: people that got something to say about people that are
- 46:42Speaker 1: walking all the time. These celebrities, you don't see what
- 46:44Speaker 1: they got to go through. That's why I just look
- 46:46Speaker 1: at it like, oh, shit, I'm making it. Whenever I
- 46:48Speaker 1: see somebody dissing real hard, I'm like, damn, I'm making it.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Because I never wake up and think I'm going to comment.
- 46:53Speaker 1: If I don't like something that somebody got going on,
- 46:55Speaker 1: I don't even comment or say it. Don't comment.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Give it to yourself.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Because that's some hating shit. That's when you become a hater.
- 46:59Speaker 1: And then people going to get, you don't understand, the
- 47:02Speaker 1: more you comment, the more this shit go up. So
- 47:04Speaker 1: if you genuinely don't like me, you wouldn't help us
- 47:06Speaker 1: go up.
- 47:07Speaker 2: I like the fact that you watched it because we
- 47:08Speaker 2: earned your view.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Yeah. Thank you so much. And then the people be like,
- 47:13Speaker 1: how did I end up here? Bitch, your algorithm put
- 47:15Speaker 1: you here because this is the type of shit you watch, bitch.
- 47:17Speaker 2: You're looking for disabled people.
- 47:18Speaker 1: The fuck you mean? yeah y'all y'all just mad y'all
- 47:22Speaker 1: mad y'all can't roll and close your eyes like we
- 47:25Speaker 1: do they can't do what we do they can't do
- 47:27Speaker 1: what we do that's the fucking crazy part like i
- 47:30Speaker 1: don't ever sit there and wake up and say you
- 47:32Speaker 1: know what let me spread hate like anytime that i
- 47:34Speaker 1: comment it's literally a fact i'm not saying i disagree
- 47:37Speaker 1: with everything that i comment on because i'll be in
- 47:39Speaker 1: a shade room and shit but it's never like a
- 47:40Speaker 1: shade to it it's never.
- 47:41Speaker 2: A shade to a person.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Yeah no especially somebody Come on, we all trying to
- 47:45Speaker 1: get paid. Should it be the people that's up there? Like,
- 47:49Speaker 1: you know, oh, I'm just trying to get money to
- 47:51Speaker 1: feed my kid and stuff like that. All you got
- 47:53Speaker 1: to do is like, share, comment. If you don't want
- 47:54Speaker 1: to do that, don't do none of it. Just move
- 47:57Speaker 1: past it because there's somebody else that's going to sit
- 47:59Speaker 1: there and help bless these people. God said that we
- 48:01Speaker 1: need a village. We need community. But everybody in this
- 48:04Speaker 1: community just wants to separate each other. disperse, destroy, wickedness.
- 48:08Speaker 1: It's too much wickedness in this era. And that's why
- 48:10Speaker 1: I said it's kind of hard to just be the
- 48:12Speaker 1: type of person that I am in a world like
- 48:13Speaker 1: this because I'm a very loving person.
- 48:15Speaker 2: It be the people that be scared to look at
- 48:16Speaker 2: they self in the mirror.
- 48:17Speaker 1: Yeah, they fucking hate themselves.
- 48:18Speaker 2: I don't pay people like that no more.
- 48:20Speaker 1: People hate because of your confidence sometimes too.
- 48:22Speaker 2: I'm telling you, all the time my vision got purpose, man.
- 48:24Speaker 2: I ain't tripping on y'all niggas, man. Y'all niggas. I'm
- 48:27Speaker 2: not even in my bracket right now.
