  Speaker 3: opportunity to share a picture of them. So your section
• 19:38

• 19:45
  Speaker 3: of you, your bio, whatever information you want people to
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: know about you, and a picture. So you have a
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: one hundred word bio. So you got to sum yourself
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: up in one hundred words, but you get an opportunity
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: to share about who you are, what you're doing, how
• 20:02

  Speaker 3: share your brand, y'all. If you don't know who I am,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I encourage everybody to google me. Google Angela Thomas Smith,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Queen of Collaborations, Google the Crew podcast. You would definitely
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: get an opportunity to find out who I am, what
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I do from start to finish, but to give you
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: an overview, a glimpse of who I am and what
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I do. So I'm effectually known as the Queen of Collaboration.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Have carried that title for a little over I want
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: to say about maybe nine years now, about nine years
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I've actually carried that title Queen of Collaborations. I I
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: love to network, I love to collaborate. I am a
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: certified life coach. I hold a m b A. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: am currently working on my m p A. But I
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: my whole gist is to be the change that I
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: desire to see. I am a avid advocate. That means
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I advocate for many things basics. Human rights is what
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I advocate for the rights of humans, whether it be
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: black and brown, Caucasian, whatever, I advocate for human rights,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Very.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I'm very. What you say anything around uplifting my black
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: and brown community, I am definitely for that. I push
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: for a lot of things that supports my black and
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: brown community because we have been under represented. We have
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: been under everything for so long. So I believe in
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: my model, I am the change that I desire to
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: see in this world. Change begins and end with me.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: So if I want change, I I I have to
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: seek that change and be about that change. So I
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: advocate for many things. You may see me in the background.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: You may see me in the background of a lot
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: of things because that's what I do. I'm a a
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: a background person. I usually stay in the midst so
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: you will see me doing a lot of advocacy work.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: That's what I do, a lot of advocacy work. I
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: have been advocating for wrongfully and overly incarcerated for the
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: last four or five years years. That is something that
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I am very passionate about. You will see me on
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: TikTok on some of the panels, So most of the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: time you'll see me sitting on the panels. I may
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: say a few words every now and then, but most
• 23:14

• 23:17
  Speaker 3: trying to, you know, see see what people are talking
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: about and how I can share my thoughts and my
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: opinions within the comments. But I'll jump up on the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: panel every now and then. But most of the thing,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I'm a watcher. I sit and I watch and I
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: pray because I'm also an inaccessory. But I truly believe in,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: you know, providing opportunities. So I am the visionary of
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: the Crew podcast. If you are tuned in on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: or kick it is through that outlet, which is the
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Crew podcast Sometime you will see me on these various
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: platforms as the Crew Podcasts or the Visionary Queen Angela.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: You may see me as Author Angela. But however you
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: search me out and find me, you will see that
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I have my hands in a lot. I am the
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: author of over one hundred and fifty literary works. I
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: have anathologies. I have poetry books. I have inspirational books.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I have a couple of children books. I do journals.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I do calendars. I make personalized calendars. If you follow me,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: you know that for twenty twenty six, we have some
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: calendars out. If you are someone that may be interested
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: in having a personalized calendar, say you have a brand
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: or a business, and you want to be able to
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: provide a couple personalized calendars for gifts. I also do
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: that right now. The turnaround time for that depending on
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: how quick you can get me your information and stuff.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I charge fifty dollars to create the calendar, and then
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: the calendar usually runs through the platform that I use.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: You usually can purchase a calendar for anywhere from twenty
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: to thirty dollars. So and then they have different kinds.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: So what I do is I sit down with the
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: client and figure out what they want, how quickly they
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: want it, and get them out. But if you've seen
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: some of my work out I've been doing it for
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: the last what five six years. If you've seen some
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: of my work, seen some of the calendars, I can
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: tell you that everybody always seem to be pleased with
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: the final product. But again, that is one of the
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: things that I do. I also do children activity books.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I do a lot.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I also coach those that want to publish. I will
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: help you from start to finish publishing.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: There.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: It's a safe fee for that. For that service, it
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: usually runs about five hundred dollars. But the thing about
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: it is, once you learn how to publish, you never
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: have to pay that fee again. It is a one
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: time fee. You pay it and now you are able
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: to publish. And then not only that, you're able to
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: help others that may want to publish. But if you
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: don't want to go that route of you know, me
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: coaching you, y'all. I have a book that's available through
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Walmart dot com for eighteen twenty dollars. You can grab
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the book and it will walk you through from start
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: to finish how to Publish in ninety days a great resource.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Everything you needed is right there inside of that book.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: You can journal your thoughts down, you can write things down,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: but it's just it's out there. It sells pretty good.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: I have not had any problems with that. But again,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I don't push a lot of my books. I have
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: a website. I always tell you to go over check
• 26:59

  Speaker 3: final book to this series is called Rise Unbroken, and
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: we share through poetry how we're able to rise not
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: being broken. You know, sometimes things will happen which would
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: cause you to maybe being that will cause you to shake.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: But just because you being or shape does not mean
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: that you will be broken. So we are sharing through
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: this poetry series. I have to give a shout out
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: to the four amazing queens that helped me get through
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: this series. I tell you, they were my backbone. They
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: were my sidebone, that was my front and my back,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: and I thank God for them because not only did
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: they share that they share their perspective and the things
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: that they have gone through. But when I tell you
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: they stuck it out, they stuck it out all the way,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: because you know, we started with a couple other people
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: apart in in the beginning, and then as the series continued,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: some of those individuals dropped off and it just ended
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: up being four the four queens myself and I have
• 30:25

• 33:17
  Speaker 3: opportunity to be able to come together and to share,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: to share your thoughts, to share your perspective. I'm not
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: a micromanager. I'm gonna give you the subject, gonna give
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: you the topics and kind of tell you how to
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: flow with it, and then you're on your own. And

  Speaker 3: when you give it to me, I'm gonna put it together,
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: and then i'm gonna give it back to you and
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask you if it's just susceptible to you,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: do we need any corrections, Do we need any of
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: this or any of that? And then we're gonna go
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: from there. I definitely am not a micromanager. I want
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: people to be able to express espress those things that
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: they have inside of them, and I want people to
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: be able to share their perspective and to share those
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: things that come from them and be able to get
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: credit for those things and be able to get out there.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: So I am, I guess the what you call it condoance?
• 34:17

• 34:22
  Speaker 3: prime and do everything I can to help stir up
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: those gifts and those talents. Don't let me see a
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: gift of talent and you're not using it, because I'm
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: definitely gonna push you and push you and push you
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: until you come out of that shell, till you come
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: out of that box. So again, if you are a poet,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: there's two opportunities for you to share in twenty twenty
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: six part of these anathologies. There are no fees to
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: be a part of these poetry anthologies, y'all. Twenty twenty
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: six is more of me trying to get some people
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: out there to share some talents. I know twenty twenty
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: five may not have been the best for a lot
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: of us, but twenty twenty six is gonna be amazing
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: no matter what it looks like. Right now, we have
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: to understand that everything that we go through, God already
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: know what we're gonna experience, whether we want to accept
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: it or not. He already knows what we're going to experience.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: So how you deal with what you go through is
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: totally up to you. You can be a nagger, you
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: can be a gloom, you can be or you can
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: have joy. You know, how you go through it is
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: totally up to you. But knowing that you're gonna get
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: through it regardless of what it looks like, You're gonna
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: get through it. It may never be the way you
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: want it to be, but you're gonna get through it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: And God will always place people in your miss that
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: can help you. It's not meant for you to go
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: through things alone. He said that we are Health makes
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: one to another, you know, and it may not be
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: your family, it may not be a friend, it may
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: be a stranger that blesses you. But know that you're
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: gonna be okay. You just got to trust and believe
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: in His word. So when these things come across your
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: platforms and across your miss, take advantage of them. Don't
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: think that you are not worthy, don't think that because
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: of your past whatever. Guess what, if you read the Bible,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: you have to understand that everybody in the Bible they
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: had situations and circumstances, and then you see how they
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: got through them. You see how all things work together
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: for the good of us, for the glory of Him.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: So we got to trust and believe that. So take
• 36:59

• 48:48
  Speaker 3: will drop on Christmas Day. I'm definitely pushing for it.

  Speaker 3: She focused a lot on Texas and on Colorado. So
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: I definitely want her to connect with you because she
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: shared a lot of stories out of Texas. So, yeah,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I was just on here, just just chatting away, sharing
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: some of the stuff that I got coming up and
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: some of the stuff that I've been working on, trying
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: to get some poets and letting me everybody know because
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: they don't hardly see me do lives. I don't hardly
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: do lives. I do my morning prayer, but they don't
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: see my face. But I jump on here every now
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: and then. How you been doing. Yeah, I've been laying low.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: I've been laying low.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: I've been I've been laying low to be honest with you. Uh,
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: you know, a lot, a lot has been going on.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it has, man, So.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: You know, it kind of put me in the world
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: where the past couple of weeks.
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: So I think I told you that I went on
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: the move because we had two people show up my
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: house again, and so it just kind of in a
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: different direction.
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: We want to have to people black Jesus.
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: So, but yeah, I've been kind of recovering from that
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: finally get back on the road work because I've basically
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: been out about two weeks.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: You know that type of care of right, But I'm
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: taking a different.
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: Direction as well on this in these TikTok streets as well,
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: because I see that a lot of it it's just distraction.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, avacy.
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: So that's what I'm doing, trying to concentrate me more
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: on that and kind of limiting the places.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: That go into now.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Exactly because there's a lot of that going on right now,
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: and and a lot of people that's supposed to be advocating,
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: they they in the midst of all of the drama,
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: and I can do without that. I definitely been working
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: on some things behind the scene and and how I
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: can assist in the things that I'm doing. Definitely been
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: praying and lifting up all of these babies that have cases,
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: judicial cases, and and all of the advocates. We lift
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: We may not call out all y'all names every morning,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: but we lift y'all up. God know who y'all are.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: So we lift y'all up in prayer, and we have
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: been praying that God will cover y'all in the midst
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: of all of this madness, in the midst of all
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: of this stuff. But know that any trap that the
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: enemy try to set, it's gonna backfire, and they're gonna
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: fall in their own traps. That is the pride that
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: I pray every day for all of the advocates that
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: are standing ten toes down with Carmelo, Christian Harmon and
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: and and Christopher and and all of those that we
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: are advocating for that's on our prayer list. We definitely
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm praying for y'all and covering y'all for what
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: y'all do because it's definitely not easy. And and we
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: know that the enemy is mad, he's upset, and he
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: didn't expect all this because they they definitely don't like
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: to see us come together and work because they know
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: how powerful we are when we do come together and work.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I've been over here working on some some
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: little videos and some some articles and and some little
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: stuff that I'm working on to expose some of this
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: foolishness that that this this s F has been doing
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: because I'm about sick of her.
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: I know that's that's kind of a that's kind of
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: a moment in itself right there. I think I had
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: made a post, uh that that God guy had shared
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: on on TikTok, and I put it overall on my
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: on my ex which I normally do when he's uh
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: spelling the lives and everything.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: I just gotta let him speak.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So when her.
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: Followers actually spoke on it, and sometimes I called him
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: myself everything for the child I got in that little
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: one line sentence. And so she actually she actually responded
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: on his on his comment and and put the target sign.
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: And so I responded on to hers, and I said,
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: is that a threat? And I put hashtag FBI. So
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: because I've I've got to a point where I don't
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: respond to her directly if I'm left to, and you know,
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: because she just fullish, foolishness, and I just usually let
• 54:57
  Speaker 7: God God speak whenever he make posts, or I'll just post.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Facts under her talk's talking about something.
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: About video the case, and I'll just go and find
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: an article or find what her post and just posted
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: under her.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: People. See.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: But the thing that's the thing that's really getting me
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: about her is that she's running this campaign and her
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: followers are supporting this campaign, raised already twenty five thousand
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: dollars for this campaign. Because she said she was swatted.
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: There's no legal evidence to prove that this woman was
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: ever swatted. There's no records, there's no, no, no nothing,
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: with no news station no, no, nothing, there's no legal
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: means that say that she was swatted outside of her
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: open her mouth, and then she keeps talking about she
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: was docks. The lady been getting docked since twenty twenty three.
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: So I thought, you can only get docs one time,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: because it only takes one time to put your information out,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: So how can you continually be getting docks that that's
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: people not knowing and and just keep allowing her to
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: put misinformation out here.
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: I think she's confused in between doxing and maybe the
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: term harassment or something like that.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she gotta because it's a.
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: It's a uh. It's one of those catchy words that
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: get people attention. So she's just using it over and
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: over and over and over.
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: But we saw from her own posts and her own
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: videos that there was actually a welfare check from that day.
• 56:31
  Speaker 7: The cop came because someone called in the rolfare check
• 56:34
  Speaker 7: and that was from her own information, from the actual
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: not on one UH call, and so she called it doxing. Doxing,
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: but someone called in uh. That sound quite familiar on
• 56:45
  Speaker 7: that voice, and I won't say who that was at
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: this point in time, but there was a very familiar
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: voice that she should note, uh that actually called in
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: the welfare check. And that's what she keeps saying. That's doxing.
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: And so sympathy and empathy, they ask for it, they
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: get it. And that's that maga playbook that they play by.
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: And if you look at it from from our fix
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: ten uh whatever President, they got owned down through the
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: the chain of command with the mega moment.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: It's like a playbook of theirs.
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: And they do this this thing of crying foul and
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: Brian Wilson, and it gets sympathy. They make money, and
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: then they run off into the sunset. So at some
• 57:28
  Speaker 7: point we'll see her take some more retractions, some more
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: corrections about her lies, because that's this thing, get closer
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: to being dismissed. That's why I keep telling me, that's
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: when she'll come out full on and say I knew
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: it all the time, and this and that that, this
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: that's just her playbook, is how she plays. And so
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: at some point in time, the kick is about to
• 57:52
  Speaker 7: be a and she's about to ask her for all
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: those lies and corruption that she has someone.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: But if if, if her people will only google her,
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: if they would google her, they would see a lot
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: of the information themselves, because if you google this lady,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: it tells you that she is known for putting out
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: false information. That is one of the things that comes
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: up when you google her. So how can you be
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: so naive that you would continually to pour into her
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: even down to the Swatten information. There is no legal
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: standing for what she's saying because there's no police reports,
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: there's no police record of her ever being swatted. There's
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: no records, so they can google and find that out.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: But they would rather spread lies, spread lies about Drew
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: and his arrest record, But then don't want to talk
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: about Jean Jacket where and Jeff They don't want to
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: talk about him, but they would rather spread lies and
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: information about mister Drew. I'm telling you, I'll be glad
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: when they go ahead and drop this case because that's
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: what that's that's what needs to happen. The judge needs
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: to recuse itself, but we know that's not gonna happen.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: But I'll be glad when it's all said and done.
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: So all these people and all these these these traps
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: and all this reddick that has been ran, I want
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: to see how many of these people gonna come back
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: and apologize to some folks, I really do. I want
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: to see how many people gonna come back and apologize.

• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: got it. Somebody did get poked, but they didn't get unlive.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: But someone did get poked. They did have to go

• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: Self defense is not a crime. And if you got
• 1:01:50

• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: I think that's it, y'all. I think I've covered everything
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: that I was gonna talk about today, you know, yes, ma'am,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: real quick. Yeah, you was just saying.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: About the young man. I'm not familiar with that case,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: but I do know a little about the.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: Case from what I've been seeing, And it just came
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: to me.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: Why are children.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 6: Factor always legal process when they stand the ground?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: You know? It just hit me, like, why is it?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: Aren't you always?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: Why do they have to go through the legal system
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: when they have to defend theyself, but when somebody else
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: defend they self.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: It doesn't go through them.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: They don't even get arrested. They don't even get arrested.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: But ours always get arrested, and they get always get booked,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: and they always get a mug shot. But you never
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: see it when unless unless now I'm gonna tell you
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: one case that you may see it, and it's only
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: when it's us against us, because that's something that they like,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: the brush under the road. They that that's that's normal
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: for them. So they don't, they don't too much care
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: about that. But anytime it's us against them, we're always
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: gonna be put in a negative the light. And that's
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: what media has done and that's what they continue to do.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm grateful for platforms like ours and the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: many other platforms that's willing to speak about these things
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: that are affecting us, because these things affect us and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: people need to know. They need to see it, they
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: need to hear it, and they need to be put
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: out here over and over and over until they really
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: see that this is a problem. And media has been
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: that problem for I don't know when they start. They
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: do not share the truth. They only share us in
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: a bad light because that's the retic that they want
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: to get out there. So we have to keep doing
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: the things that we're doing. We can't back up, we
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: can't back down, we can't let up. We got to
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: keep pushing forward. We got to keep moving forward and
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: keep allowing the truth to come forward. As long as
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: we stand on truth and to sharing truth, that's all
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: we can do. That's all we can do, exactly exactly, And.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: You know, and it's a shame that you know, I
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 6: just feel that and we should all just like come together.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 6: When I'm on the streets of t t I see
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: nothing but negativity out there, you know. And and it's
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 6: really sad how some people are using their pack form
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: to put out frost narratives against people of color, our
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: brown brothers and sisters, you know, just people in general.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 6: And we need some people that's gonna say enough is
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 6: enough and stand uh stand up, and when you want
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: to stop being bullied oncial media.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm tired, you know, I'm just tired.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 6: I've been upset every since Dwayne, ever since I heard
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: Trician then what's his last name?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: Weekly his story coming out of Texas.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 6: I thought James Legate's story was something, and all the
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: other men's cases that I spoke to coming out of Texas,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 6: I thought that was something.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: But now it's our kids.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: Let me say something, let me let me, let me
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: tell you, Okay, do you remember how we talked about
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: the private prison system and a lot of how the
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: prison system operates and things like that, and covering some
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: of these cases that we've covered out of Texas. Well,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: you know, they getting ready to build some more prisons,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: so you know, when they begin to build more prisons.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: They got a house more inmates, so you'll you will
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: see different laws and legislation and policies being put in place.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: These people got the house, these these units that they're
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: building because they are signing contracts with these private ran
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: prisons and assuring these people that they're gonna be able
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: to house this so many people and they're gonna be
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: able to do this, and they're gonna be able to
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: do that. So they own a witch hunt to try
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: to find people to fill these prison system with. And
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: we know that they always start with our youth. Why
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: because they're young and they can they can get some
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: free labor. I keep telling people that slavery never ended,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: they just moved it into the prison system. Because if
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: we understand why the police, the police was even formed,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: why was they formed? Understand that they were formed so
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: that they could track down run away slaves. That is
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: why they built these facilities. So guess what if they
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: can put us in them and overly incarcerate us. Because
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: if you look at the Sentizen, all you got to
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: do is do some research. If you look at the
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: Sentizen and you lay out black and brown, and you
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: lay out every other race, and you see how the
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: sentences are. You'll see that the black and browns outweigh
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: the others, and centenzen. You may have somebody with the
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: same crime, they may have done the same thing. A
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: black and brown person may get forty years, and then
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: another person may only get fifteen, or only get ten,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: or may get probation or slap.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: On the hand.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: We see what happened to that young eighteen yt guy
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: up there in Oklahoma. You see how he was facing
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: seventy eight years and only got what eighteen months of
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: community service. Now it's time to stop allowing them to
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: put our babies behind prison bars. And it's time for
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: us to be proactive so that we don't have to
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: be reactive to things that they're doing. Not only that,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: I keep telling people, we can't wait to the big elections.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: We got to vote in these local elections so that
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: we can begin to put people in place. We got
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: to make sure that we have the right people in
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: place that's representing us locally, and then we can worry
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: about up there, because if we got the right people
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: in place local, then they gonna take care that it's
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: gonna work its way out up on up because once
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: you get them in place, and we as black and
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: brown people, we got to learn how to take our
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: place in the society. Like you go to you you
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: go to these city council meetings, the county council meetings,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: you probably don't see. You don't see a lot of
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: us at these meetings. We need to be there. We
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: need to be represented, We need to allow our voices
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: to be heard. Not only that, we need to fulfill
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: some of these offices. We need to be in place
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: to take be position ourselves so that we can fill
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: some of these offices. I keep telling people, understand what
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: power truly is. You gotta position yourself. And we got
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: to overcome these things. We as people, we got to
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: be willing vestors to be used in these local governments.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: And then we got to learn how to educate ourselves,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: empower ourselves. And then we got to not only do that,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: but we got to encourage ourselves and those around us
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: to push forward. God, we ain't resilient for nothing. We
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: ain't went through all this stuff for nothing. Our ancestors
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: and do it so much so that we can have
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: the power to walk into these things. But y'all were
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: not doing it. We're not doing it, and we got
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 7: I just spoke with ten young people that's in college yesterday.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 7: I was in a group chat with them and I
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 7: got eight of them to switch their majors to criminal justice.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 7: And the reason being is that as Sis was talking
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 7: about earlier about the sad moment that our kids have
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: to already always fight in the system where other people
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 7: get the benefit of the doubt.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: And it starts with our local police departments.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: They're the ones that choose to investigate or they choose
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 7: to just assume in charge. And so we start getting
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 7: more people that look like us with a mindset like this,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: because we have a lot of people that look like
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 7: us in the in the police departments and detectives and
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 7: all that, but they have a mentality like the other people.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 7: So we have to start replacing those people when people
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 7: would like mindness of protecting.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: All people, not just people.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: And when you have that.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 7: Kind of mindset, then you will investigate and do the
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 7: things that the system is supposed to do. But it starts,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 7: like you said, with us strategically having our people to
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: empower themselves and put and put ourselves in the positions
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 7: where we need to be. We have a couple in
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 7: full work as a young man and it's fiance. He
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 7: just had a set of twins. I think it's probably
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 7: about a week or so or two that they these
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 7: babies have been on this earth. One of them passed away,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 7: and they were telling this young man all kinds of
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 7: things that, you know, the baby was sick, the baby
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 7: was this, it was pale. They looked better, and then
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 7: all of a sudden they had to do some procedures.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 7: They wouldn't let them come in. Now the baby has
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 7: been taken over to the mortuary, and the mortuary told.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: That daddy that the baby did not have any organs.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 7: One time, while they were talking about this baby and
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 7: keeping them babies from him, they made sure that baby
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 7: expired so they could take the organs out.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: Of that baby and reuse those organs.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 7: That is what they intended to do with young people
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 7: like Trician when they went in there trying to do
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 7: whatever it was they did to him.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: He just was able to fight and get away even
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: though he was inebriated. That you have other people.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 7: The young man that was rolled up in the mat
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 7: that they found upside down talking about the young man
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 7: did not have no Organs when they when they did
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 7: is all.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: Time stuff stuff gym.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So we we have to we have to realize
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: that one, we are the first fruits of this earth.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 7: Two, we have something in us and everything that we
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 7: are from our skin cells to everything in us that
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 7: they want, and so they're always trying to get it.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: In Three, we have to be the protectors of the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: first route that God gave us.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 7: And that means that we have to start standing up,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 7: stepping up, and stop worrying about what our ends were,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 7: what our beginnings word, and what our past our past were,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 7: and we have to start stepping up and standing together
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 7: and making sure we protect us. I don't care if
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: I'm driving like I'm right now on forty in California.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 7: I don't care what I'm doing. If I see one
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 7: of us in trouble, I need to stop.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: I need to be there.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 7: I need to make sure things are good because that's
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 7: the only way we're going to overcome what the society
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 7: has been trying to do for.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: Centuries, and that's to erase the beginning truth of this world,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: and that's us.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 7: And until we figured it out, then we'll understand what
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 7: the scripture said that we have to give back to
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 7: our first room, our first love.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: We have to get back and we have to make
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: sure that we're not living.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 7: Beneath our privilege. What is our privilege, the god given
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 7: right to be the kings and queens of this earth
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 7: that God gave us first rut for. And when we
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 7: start into that, then there would be truly no weapon
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 7: formed against us that shall prosper because we would stand
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 7: up and make sure it won't work. And that's what
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 7: we have to get back to, that of protecting our people,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 7: because I'm tired of our kids going through this hot
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 7: mess with these systems where they shouldn't even have to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 7: be bothering at all.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, that's it. That's it. So I tell people,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: if you won't change, you have to be that change
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: that you desire to see in this world. That that
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: is our motto over on the Crew podcast. I stand
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: on it, I live by And if you won't change,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: you got to be that change. Know that it starts
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: and ends with you. And how do we bring about change.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: We got to educate ourselves, We got to empower ourselves
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: and not only encourage ourselves, but we got to encourage
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: those around us. We have to be able to walk
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: in these things. We are more than capable. He say,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: seeky first to King Heaven, and all things shall be added.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: So everything that you desire, everything that you want, everything
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: that you can think of, it can be added. Know
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: that your situation, you are right where you're supposed to be.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: You're doing right what you're supposed to do. You just
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: got to keep going. Catch up with your destiny. It's
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: already been mapped out. Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven. His
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: word is not returning to him. Boy, he said that
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: he declared that he had a plan for you. So
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: know that you didn't get dropped out of the sky,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: but he strategically placed you here. He placed you here
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: just for this season. Find out what your gifts and
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: talents where it can take you, and what you're supposed
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: to be doing with them, because we all have gifts
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: and talents. Some he gave one, two, three, four, five.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: He may have gave some of us a thousand, but
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: he's given us all something that we can be great
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: at that will make our name great and would make
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: us great amongst men and God. So what are you
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: doing to walk into your destiny to align with that
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: that he's already mapped out for you. I'm telling you,

• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: God has really dealt with me with this word power,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: and to me, the peace stands for positions, the old
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: stands for overcomer, the w stand for willing, vessel. The
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: E stands for E three, experience was meeting, educate in
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: power and encourage, and d R stands for resilience. When
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: God dropped that thing in my spirit, it's been about
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: six years ago. I really have been hum into it.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: I used to host a show over on Blocktop Radio.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: Y'all know. Blocktop Radio ended its services January of this year,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: so I was challenged to move somewhere else. Did not
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: find a proper space for it. I tried to air
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: it through the Crew podcast, but it was just not
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: It was just not something that needed to be over here.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: So I found me a home, y'all. I found me
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: a home. So I am going on over to Empower
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: Me TV. I will be sharing more details about that
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: to come. Not only that, y'all know, when I move,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: I don't move by myself. I like to share because
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: I love those that are part of the things that
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: I do to prosper as well. So Trevida Harris, it's
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: gonna be over there, y'all know, she's one of the
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: hosts here on the Crew podcast. She's the host of
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: Believe in the Journey. She's gonna be journeying on over
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: there with me. And then we have Latanya Little John
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: who is the host of Deny Delayed but not Deny.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: She's gonna be journeying over there with me. Unfortunately, she
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: will not be returning to The Crew Podcast for season
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: four because we know what she's going through with her
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: mom and we she needed to take a break, So
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: she's gonna be taking a break as she deals with
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: the transitioning of her mom. So we're always going to
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: be there to support her because she was one of
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: the founding charter members of the Crew Podcast. Y'all. She's
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: been on this network three years, so we have no
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: choice but to support her. Even in her absence, we
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: would be there for her. And going over to empower
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: Me TV will be none other than shining staff run.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 3: She will not be returning to the Crew Podcast. She's
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: decided that one year was enough for her, so she
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: is headed on over to empower Me TV. I'm super
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: excited for her and excited for the things that is
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: yet to come with that journey. So, y'all, I am
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: not a micromanager. I'm always here to push you to
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: your next level because if you thrive guess what I
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: thrive to Because if others can see what you can do,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: then it will make room for others. Know that our
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: journey is not always to be supposed to be still
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: that we, as He elevate us, we have to make
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: room for others to be elevated. So know that every
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: every situation is not a permanent situation. Seasons come and go.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: So what would your next season be? Would it be
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: a season of thriving or a season of procrastination? Now
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: it's time out for procrastination. It's time to move in
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: those things that God has blessed you with. So I
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: want to encourage you to keep pressing no matter what
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: it looked like. Maybe you did not come anything in
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five that you wanted to, but it does
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: not mean that it is the end. You still can
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: press past whatever it is and walk into a better tomorrow.
