- 6:08Okay, yess what you guys. School is right around the corner, Right
- 6:14around the corner for my daughter, it's two weeks in county. Yes,
- 6:18So tonight we are going to focus our show on getting our little ones back
- 6:25to school, even our bigger ones. So tonight it's all about the tips
- 6:30of back to school. Okay, So everyone knows, like I just said,
- 6:34August is the month school comes to mind. So we get back to
- 6:39those three things reading, writing, and arithmetic. Okay, So I decided
- 6:46that in the month of August my books to read in Aspiring Office Magazine,
- 6:53it's going to be all about back to school. There are some things that
- 6:57parents want to do to start the transition the kids to back to school,
- 7:01and you might want to start doing those things now. Depending on when your
- 7:05child goes back to school. Most pediatricians and most doctors and most educators said,
- 7:13try to do it at least four weeks. Well, my daughter and
- 7:15me, we have always kept our saying schedule. Now, maybe on the
- 7:20weekend the little girl could stay up to ten, but most of the time
- 7:26she's in her bed by eight lights off at night. Okay, so that's
- 7:30our first tip, our first tip for getting your child back to school.
- 7:34It's called early to bed, ready and early to rise. Reason being is
- 7:43because some kids are morning persons. My child not at all. It is
- 7:50always five more minutes and then once the five minutes over comes to the major
- 7:58attitude. So um, well, let's scale back something. We're gonna give
- 8:03you some more tips at the end of the show. But it looks like
- 8:07we have our technical difficulties all solved. So we're gonna go back and I'm
- 8:13gonna introduce this ubbly young lady here from Charles to South Carolina. I am
- 8:18so proud to know her and to say she is from our state. We
- 8:22are going to bring up doctor Regina Duggins, and she's gonna tell us a
- 8:28little bit about herself in her book, Doctor Gina, come on absolutely hello,
- 8:35how are you hey? How are you? I am doing well?
- 8:39Thank you so much for being patient with all these technical difficulties that I was
- 8:45experiencing. Huh, it is not a problem. It is not a problem.
- 8:52We were talking about getting our kiddles back to school, so we could
- 8:56talk about that later. But let's talk about you, my friend, doing
- 9:01big things here in the Charleston, South Carolina area. Thank you, thank
- 9:07you. Yes, I've seen you all over the facebooks and I'm like okay,
- 9:13and when you said you want to do I'm like yes from my deck
- 9:18at the hood. So tell us about you. What who are you?
- 9:24Okay? Well, my name is doctor Regina Duggins and I was born and
- 9:28raised in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. My parents are from Saint
- 9:33George, South Carolina. So it's getting ready to be on August two thirteen
- 9:39years that I've lived in South Carolina and Charleston. So um. I raised
- 9:45five of my nieces and nephews. I'm the caregiver to my beautiful and lovely
- 9:48seventy nine year old going to be eighty year old mother in September. Yes,
- 9:56she's a blessing and a blessing to us all. I'm I don't know.
- 10:01I just I'm an author. I have my nonprofit organizations, Charleston Black
- 10:09Pride, which I will talk about, which is an LGBTQ plus of color
- 10:15organization. UM. I have a mentoring organization which I use out of the
- 10:20school where I teach at. I'm a special education teacher. I've been a
- 10:24constituent board member for a district twenty I've ran a couple of elections. I
- 10:31do poetry. I self published three books. I don't know. I mean,
- 10:39I just enjoy what I do. You used to be taking hands and
- 10:43putting them on, taking them off, put them on. Hey, ain't
- 10:46nothing wrong with today. We need this here Charleston. We need that motivation.
- 10:50And it's it's great because I mean, I don't know what area of
- 10:54Charleston you are from, but in North Charleston, I mean just in the
- 10:58past two days, all of the shootings, it's right. It's it's good
- 11:03to have something good come from me area, you know, something to bring
- 11:09that smile back and say, yes, I am from northchoff I'm a downtown
- 11:13product. I'm downtown Yeah, I'm downtowo, I'm downtown. I'm living downtown
- 11:18Upper King so yes, Upper King, Upper King. So bye. I'm
- 11:22not too far from the Dark Library. That was my first library, y'all.
- 11:28That was eighteen years ago. Look at you go ahead, girl,
- 11:35Yes, eighteen years ago, Dark Library. Yeah, that's why it started.
- 11:41Now that Cynthia Graham heard Liberry. Yes, I am very very honored.
- 11:48So let's talk about these books. Yes, tell us a little bit
- 11:52about them. Okay. So my first one, Black Magic, was me
- 11:56just scratching the surface of all of my poetry I've been doing throughout Charleston area.
- 12:03So it's talks about love, it talks about the loss of my dad,
- 12:07m the loss of my brother. Um. So it was just a
- 12:11little just all over the place, giving you a general feel of how my
- 12:15poetry is. Then I got into doing some activists work here in Charleston,
- 12:22and so my next book became into Fruition, which is called black Coffee,
- 12:28No Sugar, no Cream. So you get the activist side of me.
- 12:33When I talk about reclaiming my time, I talk about am I am?
- 12:37I not a woman just a remake? Um, I talk about just woman
- 12:43and totality. I talk about some Black issues and Caucasian issues that I feel
- 12:50that we both need to you know, work on and check ourselves on,
- 12:54um, you know, and then stop blaming someone else and making sure we
- 12:58take in on what we do. You know, they always say the man,
- 13:01the man it was, you know, no, but we need to
- 13:03take accountability for our actions. So that book gave that voice. Then,
- 13:11UM, I did an autobiography nonfiction book called New York Styles What Time Is
- 13:16It? And that was from birth to twenty and it talked about, um,
- 13:22some traumatic childhood traumas that I experienced and why I started on my dance
- 13:28group, which was called New York Styles. UM. So it goes back
- 13:31to Brooklyn and it gives you that right in your face feel if you never
- 13:37knew what a Brooklyn experience was, you can get that feel in that book.
- 13:41So you'll get a little laughter, You're gonna get some sad moments,
- 13:43You're gonna get some fun moments. I mean, you're gonna just get the
- 13:46real, authentic me what made me at twelve years old decided to start my
- 13:52dance group and really, um try to really work with these youth and to
- 13:56save them because someone did and saved me. I felt for things that I
- 14:03experienced, and but what turned around is that they winded up actually saving me
- 14:09from me because I was just starting to spiral. I was angry, I
- 14:13was hurt, and the more that I was looking out for them, it
- 14:16saved me from I guess, becoming just promiscuous or just out in the community,
- 14:24just getting lost and getting into trouble. So while I knew that I
- 14:28could do these programs and get them dancing and have them performing here and there,
- 14:33it saved me. And I'm thankful and I was able to tell the
- 14:37story. I have a few of my dancers that shared their their triumphs and
- 14:43their joys of being in the dance group as well within the book, So
- 14:46you know, I don't want to give too much away, but it does
- 14:48touch on from birth to twenty okay, okay, And you answered my last
- 14:54questions. I was about to ask, how do you incorporate your experiences that
- 14:58you've been in life and all these hats that you wear into your wedding.
- 15:05I just, yeah, it's I like to tell the truth. I like
- 15:09to you know, That's one of my reasons why I did get out on
- 15:13the forefront. I feel that representation matters. And I didn't really have a
- 15:18lot of people who looked like me. Um, I didn't know their stories
- 15:22because you know, rape this taboo, you know, you know, people
- 15:26don't talk about it, you know, UM. And so I felt that,
- 15:31you know, God put me here for a reason, and I was
- 15:35like, Okay, I have to talk about this. And as I started
- 15:37to speak more, I noticed that others started to share what had happened to
- 15:43them and within their lives. So I felt I didn't feel alone and you
- 15:50yeah, So I started to feel that safety net for myself and I felt
- 15:54that if I share it, and once someone started telling me that they experienced
- 15:58it. Now, how can we empower each other from what? Yes?
- 16:03Yes, so it looks like your work and your your your your poetry,
- 16:11your personal life, your your careers, like all entwined in women and and
- 16:17that's beautiful, especially how they can all build them one another. So,
- 16:22I mean, you're writing about your experiences. What are you asking yourself when
- 16:26you're writing? I mean, how do you get it to flow? I
- 16:30just said, be honest, you know, UM, tell the people put
- 16:37them in weight in your shoes. UM, be transparent. I love when
- 16:42out there student. It draws me into book when I feel like you're we're
- 16:49out, we're shopping, and I'm putting the shoes on that you wore.
- 16:52I love authors, student, and I don't like when they put the fluff
- 16:59in. But what I've read about you, you straight into the point.
- 17:04Listen, I'm gonna give you the vulnerable side of me. Many people,
- 17:10because they see me on the forefront and they see me doing a lot of
- 17:14activists work or brass roots organizations, don't know that I am very shy and
- 17:18very private. Yes I am, and it amazed. It's a lot.
- 17:27But I do have those moments. But when I feel that I'm helping,
- 17:33um, it's time for me to let that voice be out. Okay,
- 17:38Okay, So on off script, you said you work with special education.
- 17:44Now, my sister, God bless her soul for Ingram Bull was a special
- 17:49needs child, and I know personally how much goes into it, and I
- 17:56always ask and I even adds one of my classmates who passed on when I
- 18:02saw him working with special needs. Why special needs? Okay, So the
- 18:08backstory what inspired me to go to get my masters in special education? My
- 18:14nephew that I raised. He's autistic and nonverbal. He's twenty seven years old
- 18:18now and I've been raising him since he was nine. So yeah, I
- 18:23became a auntie mom when I was twenty six years old. So I wanted
- 18:30to know everything about him, and I wanted to help him, you know.
- 18:34So I felt that this was an area that I didn't know anything about,
- 18:40so I went and started to do as much research. I went into
- 18:45the field, received my masters in special education. My doctorate is in organizational
- 18:52leadership with the emphasis in K through twelve because I wanted to know everything that
- 18:56incumbents, the youth, and but my fight was always to make sure that
- 19:03their voices were ex silent. So I advocated strongly for him all throughout Charleston
- 19:08County schools and when we were back in New York. So that's where my
- 19:11fight came, and I was like, I have to keep fighting for special
- 19:15needs children, individuals, and that's what I do, and I love my
- 19:21job. I really, you know, take heed to it, just to
- 19:25make sure that the students are getting all that they possibly can get, letting
- 19:29them know that they can be anything in life and that them having delays is
- 19:33just the hindreds in that area, but it doesn't mean that they can't supersede
- 19:37and grow past and through those delays. So that is so true. I
- 19:42have a co worker he has autism, and he is so cool to the
- 19:48fact that he beat me my own rap song. So every morning he was
- 19:53like, Pa Teresa's rap. I was like, go ahead, let's hit
- 19:56it, and me and him would go back and forth and I love him
- 20:00that And before he leaves, he says, partying is such sweet sorrow,
- 20:03and I'm like, all right, I see you tomorrow. And then autistic
- 20:10individuals are very smart. They just have a different way of learning and they
- 20:15see the world differently than us. But other than that, they can learn.
- 20:19But one thing I've always said that every teacher cannot teach every student,
- 20:25but every student can learn. She distrupt all kinds of knowledge right there,
- 20:32Because that's so true. Yeah, quote quote regular teachers. But we gonna
- 20:37not say nothing about that, some miss duggets. We will be right back.
- 20:44It's time for a commercial and you guys come back. We got more
- 20:48to talk about Basic Black after Dark, all new podcast show with your host,
- 21:07Black Diamond. I'm hey, this is the Orthopemeral a, Jada Ovc
- 21:37and YDT. You are listening to the War Magazine podcast on the Crew Podcast,
- 21:45so stay tuned. This is our show. Enjoy. All right,
- 21:49you guys, we are back with miss Regina Duggins. Now, another part
- 21:55of her title says activists. So let's walk down that road act of this.
- 22:00Yes, Well, well, I wanted to be an activist because I
- 22:06felt that God sent me here to use my voice, and I feel that
- 22:11I I'm the voice to the voiceless people. So it was like I wanted
- 22:18to talk about certain issues that really related to me. Being an lgbtqu plus
- 22:25woman was like a fight in itself because not everyone is in support of LGBTQ
- 22:33plus individuals, so I had to use my voice and speak out on that.
- 22:37Being an activist or an advocate for special education, that's one of my
- 22:42biggest fights because I want to make sure that they are getting everything that they
- 22:48need, every resource, every supply it just as if anyone is in general
- 22:52education. I saw. I stand also on mental health issues. I strongly
- 22:59stand for senseless murders because my dad was murdered when I was three years old,
- 23:03and so anything that's dear to my heart that's what I becoming activists and
- 23:10an advocate for. I'm also a strong advocate for HIV AIDS awareness because I
- 23:15lost a brother and a cousin to this disease, and I always feel that
- 23:21they had they known in two thousand and nineteen ninety three, what going on
- 23:26now, what's the resources are available? I believe they would be here today.
- 23:30So I fight for all those that have the disease and to make sure
- 23:34or that don't even know that they are aware. So at any event that
- 23:38I'm hosting, I make sure that it is geared around HIV AIDS awareness.
- 23:41And that's where you would see me rallying the harness. But we see that
- 23:47you have a serious mission in life. Do you have any events that are
- 23:49coming up any time too? Yes, I do have a woman's event coming
- 23:55up on August and nineteen for mothers, and this is it was open for
- 24:00a single mother, but it's open for all mothers because I feel that every
- 24:03mother has a story to tell, whether you were a married mother, single
- 24:08mother, grandmother. I'm opening to godmothers and auntie moms like myself because I
- 24:15feel that when we share the story and we start talking about the womanhood that
- 24:22we all share. We're gonna be stronger when we walk out of that program.
- 24:26And I know it because the women that are on the panel, even
- 24:30the women that are vendering, they all have raised children to some capacity or
- 24:37had children in their lives. I'm even wanting teachers that don't have any,
- 24:41because you are in a youth life and what makes you tick, what made
- 24:47you get up and continue? Me raising five and I didn't birth them,
- 24:52but I felt the bond in the closeness. It took a lot. It
- 24:57was a lot that I didn't know. It was a lot that I'm grateful
- 25:00that I had a wonderful mother, my mother who raised me the best that
- 25:03she could and all that she could. But there was things that I had
- 25:07to do in the nuance in the new year, and I had to change
- 25:11some of the styles, you know, but I still kept a lot of
- 25:15what my mom and how she read me, you know, in the upbringing.
- 25:19But I want to hear their stories. I want their voices to be
- 25:22uplifted and empowered, and then I want them to share about what they're doing.
- 25:27A lot of them have their own businesses, a lot of them are
- 25:30authors. I mean, they're doing wonderful things out here, but I want
- 25:33them to be able to empower someone who's in the room that feels like I
- 25:37want to give up. I am so there for that event. I appreciate
- 25:41you tack me in it. Little girl, you go on to your own
- 25:45or somebody else. I don't want to see you. And I gave away
- 25:51five tickets too. We did like a riffle. So five moms are coming
- 25:56for free, because really it's not about me making any money. It's about
- 26:03someone getting a message yes yes, yes, and being able to be elevated
- 26:10or sharing these stories between much because everyone raised their children differently. You say
- 26:15that between mothers, and I'm gonna tell you what I see. So I've
- 26:18been working at the library for eighteen years going on nineteen years, and I
- 26:23work in teen services, so we don't see much moms. But I would
- 26:29see the mommies coming in to children's story time. But the problem I was
- 26:37seeing it wasn't much mommies like me right and me and my co worker was
- 26:42just talking about this. It's like, I want to bring my little girl
- 26:45to these wonderful library programs, even the programs that I put on, but
- 26:49I can't because I'm working, but I want to tell others about these programs
- 26:55that what I have and the programs that the library have. But I'm not
- 27:00seeing a strong African American representation, and even with the summer reading programs that
- 27:07we have in the library, me telling these kids, hey, you know,
- 27:11my daughter's been out of school since what you may of last the last
- 27:18she is doing schoolwork every day, correct, she is reading every day.
- 27:23I do not want her experience that summer slide. So it's great to be
- 27:29around other mothers who I know. When I get there, I'm gonna telling
- 27:32them about the library. Hey, come on out, there are things for
- 27:36our kids. Let's share everything that we have. So I thank you for
- 27:41tagging me in that, and I'm definitely going to be there now. Yeah,
- 27:45I'm at the kicker to the current. Yeah, because I wanted time
- 27:51for us to really share and don't feel offended in anything that you may be
- 27:56feeling while I have felt while raising your child, because we have vulnerable moments
- 28:00where we just say we don't want to do this and okay, okay.
- 28:08Because I want to provide a safe space, you know, for and when
- 28:15you have someone that says, listen, girl, I've been there. It
- 28:18feels different than you're hearing someone saying why you feel that way? Oh you
- 28:22should love and a door? How you know? You don't want to be
- 28:26put down? But this is going to be a safe space where once you
- 28:29felt in those moments how angry you was that where are the dads? Or
- 28:33why wasn't you know? I want you to be able to feel comfortable and
- 28:37in a respectable manner. We're going to talk about this and then we're going
- 28:41to heal. Then we're gonna walk out and say, you know what,
- 28:47what can I do next? Because now you can go home and you can
- 28:51probably, especially if you're raising a daughter, you can have that conversation now
- 28:56and say, listen, you don't know how you're life is going to be,
- 29:00but if you so happened to be a single mom, you'd be the
- 29:04best single mom that you can be. Oh my god, yep. See
- 29:11me and my daughter just had this conversation and she had a conversation with her
- 29:15father and said I want to be like my mommy, and I want to
- 29:19have kids and I want to work. Now he wasn't too happy with that.
- 29:23But for me to hear that, I was like, you go girl,
- 29:27and I encoventure. I said, yes, you would love for you
- 29:30to get married. But it happens that your single mommy, like your mom
- 29:34was, like your aunt was, your cousins was we make you do what
- 29:37it do, we make you do what to do? So yes, yeah,
- 29:42and I thank you because I've never heard of anything like that happened in
- 29:45Chawston. I have been a Herman crab, but because of my producer who
- 29:51was in the background, she started to push me out there. I'm starting
- 29:56to now see things and I'm like, I'm gonna go, I'm wanna go,
- 30:00I'm gonna go so and now my eyes are like wide open it and
- 30:06I just hate the fact that a lot of people are not paying attention to
- 30:10much of things like this that can help enriched the humanity. Now, I'm
- 30:17not putting down anybody who went to the King George concert, because hey,
- 30:22I would have gone to but I went to Praise in the Park. But
- 30:25my sister, well, I could put down y'all went to King George.
- 30:30But as well as y'all go to King George, let's go to some of
- 30:33these schools. Yes, the same way y'all go to the football games.
- 30:37Let's pluck up a book and read with our kids correct the same way we
- 30:42sit up. Then we buy them the best shoes. Let's take them to
- 30:45some of these authors of a vanch around here. It's it's crazy that I
- 30:56can count on my hand how many summer reading prizes as I get to people
- 31:02of color. And it was just mind blowing, you know. So again
- 31:10as a mother, I would like to thank you. So I always asked
- 31:15that crazy question. Yes for running out of time, y'all, just give
- 31:18me five momnutes. Now, this was a good one. Five momentutes.
- 31:21If your life was mean into a movie, who would play you? I'll
- 31:25tell you Spencer, Oh you went? Then went? Then yeah, because
- 31:30I look at when she did Madame CJ. Walker, and I love Madame
- 31:37CJ. Walker and her whole story and being an entrepreneur and just starting something
- 31:41from the grassroot up. Whether people I was going to like and love,
- 31:45it was all about your pitch. How are you going to bring people in
- 31:49to believing in you? That's what I do with all of my organizations,
- 31:55or how I especially being a newcomer, I'm not. I'm not I'm gonna
- 32:00come yea and not have been yet oh, you know, so it's like
- 32:04I had to start from the bottom. I started from PTA. I had
- 32:07no you know, jar when I came here, so I did PTA.
- 32:10I really served like I'm a servant leader. That's what I feel that my
- 32:14purpose, admission is to be here. So that's where I started. And
- 32:17then thirteen years later and I look at a lot of the accolades or a
- 32:22lot of the things that I've done, you know, the actual brass roots
- 32:25from women's legal women voters and just being in organizations, going to push myself
- 32:32through things, and a lot of it I found out through a library,
- 32:37you know. They were telling me about what programs in events and if I
- 32:39was free during the day or something like that, I went and that's how
- 32:44I started to network, and then I felt I started writing poetry, and
- 32:49once I got into that whole literary world, I found out about the Moja
- 32:52Arts Festival and it just went on from this. But late, I mean,
- 32:55I've been in so many different like seven five engagements when I first actually
- 33:01came out with my first book and just speaking and showing up in different places,
- 33:06and then it just started to open up who I am so and I
- 33:09see that in Octavia Spencer and the movies and the portrayals, you know,
- 33:14and then for her to be a plus sized woman. She's a dark skinned
- 33:16woman. So it's finally great to see someone that you can see reflecting back
- 33:22on you. And it goes back to me saying that representation doesn't matter.
- 33:24So she would be the one that I would love to play me anymore.
- 33:31So we're about to wrap it up, you guys. But you know I'm
- 33:35gonna ask this powerhouse right here, the lady of so many hats, how
- 33:40can I read this? Contact you? How can they get their books?
