  Speaker 4: But your girl's still going to make it do what
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: it do.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: So... I am doing this challenge, you guys, where I
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: am talking about certain aspects in books. Because this is
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: National Book Month. And I love the fact that there
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: is a National Book Month, okay?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: And I found this calendar. Her name is The Reading Queen.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And I was just browsing on Facebook trying to get
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: some ideas for work. Because, you know, I work at
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a public library. And I get a lot of my
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: programming ideas from the public library, okay? So, I was
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: looking and I found this calendar and it gives.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: You a certain prompt for every day. Okay? It's like
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: a reading journal.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Okay? So, the prompt was to talk about a children's
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: book that you were in love with.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: So, before I bring up my children's book, I'm going
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to tell you a little bit about it. When I
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: was younger, some years ago, now i'm not gonna be
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: scared of my age i am 46 years old you
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: guys i am blessed and beautiful and when i was
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: younger there wasn't much books for me okay and i
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: know you guys saying patrice why are you always so
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: fascinated with your race your color because if i'm not
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: who will be you know um I'm proud to be
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: African American, beautiful, and black. I am just proud of it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: And I love to read African American authors. Now, I'm
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: not saying, of course, that I won't read others, because
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: But I.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Don't see others promoting our books. Let's put it like that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: So it's an honor. So I've been like this ever
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: since I was little. So, you know, there wasn't much
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: kids books with little African-American girls. Better yet, little African-American boys.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I think what sticks out in my mind the most
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: when it comes to children's, it was Sesame Street.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: And there was this one little.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Segment where you had the mother and the little girl.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And the mother was sending the little girl to the store.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: And she kept on repeating what the little girl was
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: supposed to get. I need a stick of, container of milk,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: stick of butter. So the little girl's dancing down the street,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and when she gets to the store, she kind of forgets.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: But then she hears her mom in her head, I
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: need a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a stick of butter. So, that is like, one of,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: one of like, the only representation I know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Okay? Little girls.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: African American. when it came to, you know, books or
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: anything educational, to tell you the truth, at my age. So...
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I went on the opposite side of the pond. And
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I am about to bring up my favorite children's book.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And y'all, don't judge me. Because I was with the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: five Chinese brothers.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: I love the story....
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: It was just the fascination of each one of the
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: brothers that had their own gift. And if you don't
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: know the story of the five Chinese brothers, I'm going
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: to give you a little backdrop of it. So one
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: of the Chinese brothers can swallow the ocean whole. So
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: he was going fishing with a friend of his. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: his friend said, okay, you swallow the ocean and we're
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: going to grab as much as we can grab.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: But when you see my hands wave, come in.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: So.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: He does it. He swoops all the water in, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: his friends are up there grabbing it, grabbing it, grabbing it,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: grabbing it, grabbing it. So he puts his hands up,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: but his friends doesn't pay attention. They keep being greedy
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: and grabbing, grabbing, grabbing. So now the Chinese brother, he
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: is kicking and waving and making all these over-exaggerated actions
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: so they could come out of the water. But they
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: didn't because they were being greedy.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: So what happens? He spits the ocean back out. His
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: friends drown.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So, Chinese brother goes to his, goes to trial, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: they say, hey, you know what? You know, we're going
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: to have to, and, you know, you're going to have
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: to pay for that. Can I go, Chinese brother said,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: can I go to my father? So I could wish
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: my father and my brothers to do. Okay? So, one
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: brother would come in exchange for another brother. Now, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: do not remember the order of how they wanted to them.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: But I do know one was supposed to be burned.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: The other one was supposed to be beheaded. The other
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: one was supposed to be smothered. And one of them
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be thrown in the bottom of the ocean.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: But one brother was tall, so he could stretch. One brother,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: his neck was made of steel, so it couldn't be broken.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: The other brother, he can hold his breath. And then
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: the other brother couldn't be burned. So, for some reason,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I just oddly love that book. That's why this book
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: stuck with me. All of that to say this is
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: that we need to get back into... Reading.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: With our kids. We need to get back into....
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Adding a book to that daily lineup. It doesn't have
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to be a physical book. Because some kids just don't
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: want the touch of a physical book.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Just like some adults.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Don't want the touch of a physical book. But we
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: have plenty of e-services because, you guys, literacy is a
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: big thing.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Literacy is huge.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: It is everything wrapped up in one. Now, I have
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: to admit, I am proud of my state of South Carolina.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Our school scores.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Just came out, and they are awesome. great.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: My daughter's middle school, um, Palmetto Scholars, I want to
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: say they're ninth in South Carolina, and, um, the high
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: school has.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Excellence across the boards.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Career readiness, um, college readiness, um, workforce readiness, um.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Amplitude, everything was excellent, okay?
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: So I'm proud of my state, and I see the progression,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to say this. Hats off to Superintendent
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Anita Huggins. You're doing your thing. My child does not
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: go to a Charleston County school, but I do follow
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Charleston County School's Facebook page. And it is so informative. Parents,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: if you are not a part of it, become a
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: part of it. All the information that you need for
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: your child, if you have questions, you do not have
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Jill Smole that lives in a corner answering you you
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: have those that work at what is that 70 68
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: calhoun street that is giving you the information from their
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: mouth so hats off to you anita huggins and miss
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: vanessa denley hi miss vanessa that was my son's um
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: high school principal during covid she's beautiful oh my gosh
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: she's such a beautiful person but all i have to
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: say is you know our black community we need to
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: get back into literacy I understand we're big into sports.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I understand we're big into everything else. We're into the
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: sports club, cheerleading, and everything. But we need to get
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: back to literacy. Because what happens if Johnny breaks his arm?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: What happens if Susan busts her knee? She needs a fallback.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that literacy should be a fallback.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: In no way it shouldn't be a fallback. It should
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: be the forefront.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Um... So, yeah, that's what I'm just going to chat
