- 9:28Speaker 16: I was just living life and apartments. I didn't realize
- 9:30Speaker 16: I had to clean a baseboard. And I've finally figured

- 9:36Speaker 5: Yeah. For myself, this there's a couple of things. One
- 9:40Speaker 5: when I drive now, I listen to traffic report that yeah,
- 9:45Speaker 5: yeah yeah. And also I watched the news to see
- 9:48Speaker 5: what the weather's gonna be.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
- 9:49Speaker 5: That that Also if I'm going somewhere, like I'm touching
- 9:52Speaker 5: a long flight, I watched what I ate up meeting,
- 9:56Speaker 5: Like if I know, if like let's say I like
- 9:58Speaker 5: cheesecake and I want cheese before I catch a flight,
- 10:00Speaker 5: the person sitting next to me is going to have
- 10:02Speaker 5: a bad flight. Like there's certain things I know when
- 10:04Speaker 5: I drink too much, I know it, like I'm gonna
- 10:06Speaker 5: have to go to the bathroom. Like there's certain certain
- 10:07Speaker 5: things the nap thing is always one. I do the
- 10:11Speaker 5: old man basketball. So you know, I got six kids, yes,
- 10:14Speaker 5: two boys, four girls. And when I play my kids
- 10:17Speaker 5: in basketball, I no longer am competitive real like I
- 10:20Speaker 5: back them down like my dad used to do me,
- 10:22Speaker 5: just old man style and just kind of just do
- 10:24Speaker 5: like a hook shot to feed them. Come tired, don't.

- 10:39Speaker 5: so I got tennis elbowt right now, Charlamagne.
- 10:42Speaker 4: I was born in nineteen hundred and seventy eight. So

- 11:00Speaker 4: Damn near everything and especially everything I don't want to
- 11:03Speaker 4: do and it'd be the littlest things, Like I realize
- 11:06Speaker 4: now while our parents you know, used to be in
- 11:08Speaker 4: like the living room, and they would call us no
- 11:10Speaker 4: matter where we was at, in the apartment, at the house.
- 11:12Speaker 9: Or the trailer, just to get them some water control.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Literally right there, I'm talking about, like right there, a
- 11:19Speaker 4: foot away from you. But boy, when you be on
- 11:21Speaker 4: that couch after a long work week or after a
- 11:24Speaker 4: long day, you don't feel like getting up to.
- 11:25Speaker 9: Do it, So come use your little young legs and
- 11:27Speaker 9: get it for me.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Another thing I can't do anymore at my age small talk.
- 11:31Speaker 4: I don't want any small talk. I have no problem
- 11:34Speaker 4: either sitting around in silence, or if you're talking to
- 11:37Speaker 4: me about something I don't care about, I might tell
- 11:39Speaker 4: you shut the f up right in the middle of
- 11:41Speaker 4: the conversation because I don't have time.

- 17:28Speaker 5: The breakfast club you want to everybody is TJ add Charlamagne,
- 17:34Speaker 5: the guy. We all the breakfast club. We got a
- 17:35Speaker 5: special guest in the building. Yes, indeed, brother Malcolm Jenkins.
- 17:38Speaker 10: Welcome, brother, appreciate y'all having me.
- 17:40Speaker 5: How you're doing blessed Black and Holly favorite?
- 17:42Speaker 9: How you doing doing well?
- 17:43Speaker 10: Doing well?
- 17:43Speaker 4: Malcolm got a new book I'll called What Winners Won't
- 17:46Speaker 4: Tell You. I love that title. Break that title down.
- 17:48Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 17:48Speaker 15: I mean, you know, a lot of the times we
- 17:50Speaker 15: see people who have a lot of success, who are champions,
- 17:53Speaker 15: and we hold them up high, but oftentimes we don't see,
- 17:56Speaker 15: you know, what makes them that way.
- 17:57Speaker 8: Uh.
- 17:58Speaker 15: And oftentimes we kind of glorify that that process and
- 18:01Speaker 15: look at the end of you know, the end result.
- 18:04Speaker 15: But for me, I've always been a bridge a bridge builder,
- 18:06Speaker 15: and wanted to make sure that I can textualize the
- 18:09Speaker 15: thirteen year career that I've just finished, you know, all
- 18:11Speaker 15: of the things that I've kind of accomplished by showcasing
- 18:14Speaker 15: that that journey, that process, that evolution of you know,
- 18:18Speaker 15: a man into what you see now. And really, that's
- 18:21Speaker 15: to me, that's what you what you want to do,
- 18:22Speaker 15: that's what you want to live. You want to have
- 18:23Speaker 15: impact on things, you want to leave people with breadcrumb
- 18:26Speaker 15: to that success.
- 18:27Speaker 7: Uh.
- 18:27Speaker 10: And so I kind of open up.
- 18:28Speaker 15: The reason I don't have a shirt on on the
- 18:30Speaker 15: covers because it's it's a very vulnerable memoir. It's one
- 18:33Speaker 15: of the things I showed, kind of the failures, the process,
- 18:36Speaker 15: how I developed, you know, into the person I am today.
- 18:41Speaker 5: He played in the NFL former NFL play You got
- 18:43Speaker 5: drafted with New Orleans and then you play for the Eagles.
- 18:46Speaker 4: Whoa you got congoy?
- 18:50Speaker 10: No, not at all at all. We know what's gonna
- 18:55Speaker 10: happen at the end of the year.
- 18:58Speaker 5: He said that every year. Every year he says that.
- 19:00Speaker 5: But you said that last year, said that last year. Now,
- 19:07Speaker 5: what made you want to write this book? Now you
- 19:09Speaker 5: talk about the winning and losing and being so open
- 19:11Speaker 5: and vulnerable. What made you want to write the book
- 19:13Speaker 5: at this time?
- 19:14Speaker 15: So, you know, one of the things is an athlete
- 19:16Speaker 15: your your your life is usually documented by other people.
- 19:19Speaker 15: Everybody else writes about you, talks about you, and we
- 19:22Speaker 15: rarely get to hear the athlete talk about their own
- 19:24Speaker 15: experience and contextualizing for themselves.
- 19:26Speaker 10: I got two young daughters, like you know that.
- 19:28Speaker 15: I think a lot about what they what I want
- 19:30Speaker 15: to leave to them, how I want them to view me,
- 19:33Speaker 15: And so I figured it was better for my story
- 19:35Speaker 15: to be told from my own words. So I ended
- 19:37Speaker 15: up writing the book myself. You know, cover the cover
- 19:39Speaker 15: is all me, and it's and it's one of those
- 19:42Speaker 15: things that I'm always involved in everything I do, so
- 19:46Speaker 15: you know, for me, it's it's one of those things
- 19:47Speaker 15: that again, everybody doesn't get to see what goes into
- 19:50Speaker 15: the process, that goes into the mindset, the cerebral parts
- 19:54Speaker 15: of not only football, but life, the failures.
- 19:56Speaker 10: And I think that that's.
- 19:57Speaker 15: Always been important for the people I know who are
- 20:00Speaker 15: watching me to see that part of it, because that's
- 20:03Speaker 15: the difference. You know, most of the time, you'll see
- 20:05Speaker 15: somebody at the top and you you think you can't
- 20:07Speaker 15: get there. You seem so different, you know, so far
- 20:09Speaker 15: from your example. And hopefully this kind of closes that
- 20:13Speaker 15: gap for the reader to see that, no, these people
- 20:15Speaker 15: who have success are just like you that go through trials,
- 20:18Speaker 15: they go through tripulations. It's those who continue to fight,
- 20:20Speaker 15: those continue to play, you know, the idea, you know
- 20:23Speaker 15: that life is this journey. You don't especially with sports.
- 20:25Speaker 15: I think life is like a game. We tend to
- 20:28Speaker 15: only enjoy life or the game after we've won the victory.
- 20:32Speaker 15: Is when you get to enjoy life. But really the
- 20:34Speaker 15: winners will tell you that you enjoy playing the game.
- 20:38Speaker 15: In life, you have to enjoy where your feet are,
- 20:41Speaker 15: enjoy the process regardless of the results. And really that's
- 20:44Speaker 15: how I've lived in my life. That's how I've grown
- 20:46Speaker 15: to have success, and I try to live that every day.
- 20:48Speaker 4: I love in the book you talk about a lot
- 20:51Speaker 4: of the things you did as far as than the
- 20:52Speaker 4: social justice space, because you were the head of the players.
- 20:55Speaker 4: When it comes to social justice and being an athlete,
- 20:57Speaker 4: what's the balance.
- 20:59Speaker 10: Man's you know.
- 21:00Speaker 15: One of the things we had to do was find
- 21:02Speaker 15: what our role was, you know, because we're not the experts.
- 21:05Speaker 15: We're not we're not devoting our lives to be activists,
- 21:08Speaker 15: but we do have a role, you know, as as
- 21:10Speaker 15: role models in a platform to do something. And I
- 21:12Speaker 15: think one of the things that we found to be
- 21:15Speaker 15: very useful was to place ourselves as conveners. We can
- 21:19Speaker 15: bring you know, communities to politicians, to police, we can
- 21:24Speaker 15: use all of the intention that we get to drop
- 21:26Speaker 15: to put pressure on you know, those who are in power,
- 21:29Speaker 15: especially in our local markets. And that's really how we
- 21:32Speaker 15: formulated InCom Boldaan myself formulated the Player's Coalition as a
- 21:36Speaker 15: vehicle for athletes all over the country. If you say
- 21:38Speaker 15: I want to get involved, you know, with the things
- 21:41Speaker 15: going on in my community, you want to get involved
- 21:43Speaker 15: with politics in whatever you want to lobby, here's the
- 21:46Speaker 15: education on the issues locally, here's who you need to
- 21:49Speaker 15: push on, here's people are power, and here's some resources
- 21:52Speaker 15: to put those things together. So, you know, we we
- 21:54Speaker 15: kind of worked through that on our own, and then
- 21:56Speaker 15: once we figured out the plan or figured out what worked,
- 21:59Speaker 15: we just held the door for anybody who wanted to come.
- 22:02Speaker 15: It started with a group of about twelve athletes and
- 22:04Speaker 15: now is expanded to twelve professional leagues of sports, which
- 22:08Speaker 15: is far greater than anything I could imagine when we started.
- 22:11Speaker 15: It have an impact with you know, grassroots organizations all
- 22:14Speaker 15: the way up to you know, politics.
- 22:16Speaker 4: What's all of the accomplishments that the Players Coalition did
- 22:19Speaker 4: that we didn't hear about.
- 22:20Speaker 15: So the majority of the work was like, hey, all right,
- 22:23Speaker 15: talking about the negotiation with the league and things like that.
- 22:26Speaker 10: But what we were able.
- 22:27Speaker 15: To turn that into, you know, so specifically, and my
- 22:30Speaker 15: focus was in Pennsylvania. One of the things I was
- 22:33Speaker 15: most proud of was. We pushed for a bill to
- 22:36Speaker 15: get pass called the Clean Slate Act. And most people
- 22:39Speaker 15: don't know one in three people in America have some
- 22:41Speaker 15: kind of criminal record, and so what this did was
- 22:45Speaker 15: roll back or explunge those records after ten years if
- 22:48Speaker 15: you hadn't violated for non violent offenses. And we were like,
- 22:51Speaker 15: you know, that's a low hanging fruit, let's get that
- 22:52Speaker 15: out of the way. But that ended up affecting like
- 22:55Speaker 15: over three million people across the state of Pennsylvania. So
- 22:58Speaker 15: that's that affects how you know, what jobs you can get, where.
- 23:01Speaker 10: You can live.
- 23:02Speaker 15: And it's just that's a very low hanging you know,
- 23:04Speaker 15: low hanging fruit when it comes to the policy and
- 23:06Speaker 15: New England guys were doing things. They lobby to get
- 23:08Speaker 15: a bunch of millions of dollars put into the school
- 23:10Speaker 15: system to close the digital divide, you know, computers and
- 23:14Speaker 15: things like that. So these are happening all over the
- 23:17Speaker 15: country Louisiana, Florida, Ohio, all the way to Cali, and
- 23:22Speaker 15: it's being done not only by me, but obviously by
- 23:25Speaker 15: athletes all over.
- 23:26Speaker 5: Now when players with kneeling at one time, how did
- 23:29Speaker 5: you guys support the players if at all.
- 23:31Speaker 10: Yeah, well I was raising my fist and I was one.
- 23:33Speaker 15: That's how the player coalition kind of came to a
- 23:35Speaker 15: bout And I talk about it in the book, just
- 23:37Speaker 15: about like that moment, everybody wanting to figure out what
- 23:40Speaker 15: to do but not quite agreeing, which seems to be
- 23:43Speaker 15: over the time and history, a common threat like people
- 23:46Speaker 15: having you know, the same ideas a bunch of people
- 23:49Speaker 15: want being very passionate about, you know, pushing black people
- 23:52Speaker 15: forward or getting involved, but having differences, you know, differences
- 23:55Speaker 15: of opinion and strategy. But my biggest thing was always
- 23:59Speaker 15: about the world. I'm like, whoever is about you know,
- 24:02Speaker 15: making a change and putting in the time and effort
- 24:05Speaker 15: to do it. Let's let's collaborate, let's work together. And
- 24:07Speaker 15: we've been doing that over you know, over the course
- 24:09Speaker 15: of now, coming up on a decade.
- 24:11Speaker 4: I feel like you took a lot of heat back then. Yeah,
- 24:13Speaker 4: you know, Eric re called you a sellout. You know,
- 24:15Speaker 4: y'all had y'all if you watch football, your famous confrontation
- 24:18Speaker 4: you know, during the game before the game as well,
- 24:21Speaker 4: Like have y'all been able to have a conversation since then?
- 24:24Speaker 10: Nah, you know, and a lot of people.
- 24:25Speaker 15: You know, even in those times we're like, hey man,
- 24:28Speaker 15: you need to reconcile that, you need to squash that.
- 24:30Speaker 15: But I've always maintained that, you know, I never wanted
- 24:33Speaker 15: to be besides that. And I was very disappointed after
- 24:36Speaker 15: that game and myself because I gave the media that image.
- 24:40Speaker 15: Last thing I wanted was two black men fighting over
- 24:42Speaker 15: trying to say that people were trying to help the
- 24:43Speaker 15: people are just counterintuitive.
- 24:45Speaker 10: It doesn't work.
- 24:46Speaker 15: And so for me, I've always maintained that, like, I'm
- 24:49Speaker 15: proud of the work that they did. I'm proud of
- 24:51Speaker 15: you know, all of us were trying to figure it
- 24:53Speaker 15: out at that time, but it's not me. It's not
- 24:55Speaker 15: on me to reconcile the situation. Like, I never had
- 24:57Speaker 15: a problem. I don't hold any gripes. I was always
- 25:00Speaker 15: focused on the work. I knew that regardless of how
- 25:03Speaker 15: you know, I was feeling the things that were coming
- 25:04Speaker 15: down to me, that things, what people were saying.
- 25:06Speaker 10: My focus was always in the people.
- 25:07Speaker 15: I got into this, not you know, to lift myself up,
- 25:11Speaker 15: So my feelings didn't matter. It was like, Okay, what's
- 25:13Speaker 15: the what's the goal here, and it's to help, So
- 25:15Speaker 15: all of that to me was distractions and I had
- 25:18Speaker 15: to stay, you know, stay focused on the goal. Why
- 25:20Speaker 15: I was there, why you know I put myself in
- 25:22Speaker 15: that position, and just maintain all right.
- 25:24Speaker 5: We got more with Malcolm Jenkins when we come back,
- 25:26Speaker 5: his new book, What Winners Won't Tell You It's out
- 25:28Speaker 5: right now. It's the Breakfast Club in the morning wanting
- 25:30Speaker 5: everybody's dj MV. Charlamage, the guy we all the Breakfast Club.
- 25:34Speaker 5: He's still kicking it with Malcolm Jenkins's new book, What
- 25:37Speaker 5: Winners Won't Tell You, It's out right Now. What was
- 25:39Speaker 5: your thoughts on everything that's going on with Colin Kaepernick
- 25:42Speaker 5: and everything that's happening right now, what's your thoughts on that?
- 25:44Speaker 15: I mean, it's you know, it's confusing at this time,
- 25:46Speaker 15: it's seven years. The way you know, it's you almost
- 25:50Speaker 15: want them to just kind of like stand on his legacy.
- 25:53Speaker 10: I think.
- 25:53Speaker 15: Any the way that it's being approached now and the
- 25:55Speaker 15: way that it's being kind of laid out, it almost
- 25:58Speaker 15: you know, it's like worries.
- 26:00Speaker 10: It makes me makes me a little worried.
- 26:01Speaker 5: What you mean.
- 26:02Speaker 15: I mean, you know you're talking about, you know, somebody
- 26:04Speaker 15: who wants to play in the super Bowl. That's down
- 26:06Speaker 15: like begging to be on a practice squad seven years
- 26:09Speaker 15: after later.
- 26:10Speaker 10: It's you know, forget the politics or who he is.
- 26:13Speaker 15: Any athlete that's out of the game for seven years
- 26:15Speaker 15: and it's still begging to being a practice squad.
- 26:17Speaker 10: It's concerning to me.
- 26:18Speaker 15: It's that now being on the other side of retirement
- 26:21Speaker 15: and having to deal with that's that identity change myself,
- 26:25Speaker 15: you know that that's that's it's a strong thing that
- 26:27Speaker 15: he's dealing with, and you worry about, like, Okay, how
- 26:30Speaker 15: does one handle transitioning into the next phase of life,
- 26:33Speaker 15: the next chapter, because that one's done, like you can't
- 26:36Speaker 15: play football forever, so we need to see, you know,
- 26:39Speaker 15: what that next example is. And it's with so many
- 26:41Speaker 15: people following them, I think we all want to know, like,
- 26:43Speaker 15: all right, what's that?
- 26:44Speaker 10: What's that next move?
- 26:45Speaker 5: You know? Some people would say that, you know, he's
- 26:47Speaker 5: been playing similar to you, I'm shaw since you were
- 26:49Speaker 5: three years old, so that's all that you know and
- 26:51Speaker 5: love and maybe on the bucket list, what's playing in
- 26:53Speaker 5: the super Bowl or winning the Super Bowl? I should
- 26:55Speaker 5: say so for some people who say maybe he hasn't
- 26:57Speaker 5: got that off yet, And then some people would say,
- 26:59Speaker 5: you know, like even Charlamage has mentioned that he feels
- 27:01Speaker 5: like that letter was kind of like an embarrassment and
- 27:04Speaker 5: it issgrace that, you know, you go from pro athlete
- 27:07Speaker 5: to super Bowl contended to practice squad.
- 27:09Speaker 9: No, I don't.
- 27:10Speaker 15: I don't think anybody want to win a super Bowl
- 27:12Speaker 15: that bad. I don't think it's about the super Bowl
- 27:14Speaker 15: because that's not what we're talking about, right, We're talking
- 27:16Speaker 15: about just getting on a roster.
- 27:20Speaker 10: But you know who knows.
- 27:21Speaker 15: I think that's the That's the one thing that that
- 27:23Speaker 15: that leads the concern is we don't know what the
- 27:24Speaker 15: motivation is. But I don't. I don't know that you know,
- 27:28Speaker 15: one is chasing super Bowl. I think it is. I
- 27:31Speaker 15: think it comes down to you and I'm watching it
- 27:34Speaker 15: in many teammates of mind, like even I don't know
- 27:36Speaker 15: if you saw Kelsey. Jason Kelsey did a documentary about
- 27:39Speaker 15: his life last year. He was trying to decide if
- 27:41Speaker 15: he wanted to play or not. At the end of it,
- 27:43Speaker 15: he goes through all of these things that he loves most,
- 27:45Speaker 15: his family's wife, his health, but he is so afraid
- 27:50Speaker 15: of moving on to something else. He says, I can't
- 27:52Speaker 15: imagine myself being the best in the world of anything else,
- 27:55Speaker 15: and so he decides to come back. He's obviously playing
- 27:57Speaker 15: again this year, and I watched it. Most people applaud it.
- 28:00Speaker 15: I watched it in fear, because here you are saying
- 28:02Speaker 15: all the things that you value most, you're willing to
- 28:04Speaker 15: sacrifice because you're afraid to step into the unknown.
- 28:07Speaker 5: Dang.
- 28:07Speaker 15: And I think that's one of the things that, like,
- 28:09Speaker 15: I know, for me, the opening chapter in my book
- 28:12Speaker 15: is fear. I've learned to always like step into the
- 28:14Speaker 15: things I'm afraid of. And that's how I knew I
- 28:16Speaker 15: was ready to step away from the game is because
- 28:18Speaker 15: the only thing that was holding me there. I had
- 28:20Speaker 15: made enough money, my body was healthy, I was I
- 28:23Speaker 15: was focused on other things, But the only thing really
- 28:25Speaker 15: keeping me there was the fact that I was afraid
- 28:27Speaker 15: to step into the unknown of You know, I've been
- 28:29Speaker 15: playing football since I was seven, same same type of thing.
- 28:32Speaker 10: But for me, my response is to lean into that.
- 28:34Speaker 10: So it's I think there is a.
- 28:35Speaker 15: Lot of that going on with athletes right now, and
- 28:37Speaker 15: I think with Kaepernick being who he is and what
- 28:40Speaker 15: he means to especially our people, I think, you know,
- 28:42Speaker 15: we always want him to be the example. But I
- 28:45Speaker 15: think it's a great kind of reminder that everybody's human,
- 28:48Speaker 15: everybody's dealing with the human.
- 28:49Speaker 4: Stuff and oftentimes too when you when you're when you're
- 28:52Speaker 4: when you don't let go of something, you block a
- 28:54Speaker 4: lot of your blessing. You never know what the future
- 28:56Speaker 4: is hold if you keep holding onto the path.
- 28:58Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 28:58Speaker 15: I never thought I would write a book. Never, never
- 29:00Speaker 15: in my life thought I would write a book.
- 29:01Speaker 10: Wow.
- 29:02Speaker 15: And it wasn't until like, yeah, you start to let
- 29:04Speaker 15: go of these ideas of who you're supposed to be
- 29:07Speaker 15: and these limitations we've kind of put on ourselves, and
- 29:10Speaker 15: you lean into the unknown and say, well, okay, I
- 29:13Speaker 15: can't tell myself I can't do this until I've proven myself,
- 29:17Speaker 15: you know, until til life proves that I can't do something.
- 29:20Speaker 10: I have to always assume that I can.
- 29:21Speaker 15: And for me, it's just always about like trying to expand,
- 29:25Speaker 15: you know, the human experience as much as possible.
- 29:27Speaker 10: Forever learner, I'm curious about everything, and.
- 29:30Speaker 15: The more and more you learn, the more you do,
- 29:31Speaker 15: you start to realize, you know that there are no
- 29:34Speaker 15: limitations that any of the problems that you have in
- 29:36Speaker 15: your life. You are going to be a base of
- 29:38Speaker 15: that solution. And that's a journey. It's not easy to
- 29:41Speaker 15: get there that that takes a lot of trial and error.
- 29:43Speaker 9: I love why you started chapter two.
- 29:45Speaker 4: You started with a quote, we must all suffer one
- 29:47Speaker 4: or two pains, the pain of discipline or the pain
- 29:49Speaker 4: and regret regret.
- 29:51Speaker 9: Which one did you do you suffer?
- 29:52Speaker 15: The more I think I suffered both until I learned,
- 29:55Speaker 15: you know, the pain of discipline. I think I've gotten
- 29:58Speaker 15: so much more comfortable in the pain of discipline than
- 30:01Speaker 15: the pain that regret. Both hurt, though, and I think
- 30:04Speaker 15: you know, especially when you talk about like even love
- 30:07Speaker 15: is one of those things. Is I've come to find
- 30:09Speaker 15: love is like an action word. I take love out
- 30:11Speaker 15: as a noun in my vocabulary because we often love
- 30:14Speaker 15: in feelings. But to really love somebody, or even love yourself,
- 30:18Speaker 15: it looks like discipline.
- 30:19Speaker 10: It doesn't.
- 30:19Speaker 15: We'll look in the mirror and say, I feel good
- 30:21Speaker 15: about myself, so I love myself. I feel confident, so
- 30:23Speaker 15: I must love myself, and so we love everybody else
- 30:26Speaker 15: with feelings. But when you start to just look at actions,
- 30:29Speaker 15: like how what are the things you do to love yourself? Okay,
- 30:32Speaker 15: do you have discipline with what you eat, how you
- 30:34Speaker 15: work out, how you take care of yourself. You know,
- 30:36Speaker 15: do you go places you don't need to? Are you reading?
- 30:39Speaker 15: Are you cultivating these parts of yourself? Those things are uncomfortable,
- 30:42Speaker 15: They take discipline, but they always expand.
- 30:45Speaker 10: Who you are.
- 30:45Speaker 15: They help you grow, They help you go to where
- 30:47Speaker 15: you're trying to get to. And I think a lot
- 30:49Speaker 15: of the times we try to avoid that discipline and
- 30:52Speaker 15: end up just still being uncomfortable with the results because
- 30:54Speaker 15: we regret it not having that, you know, not taking
- 30:57Speaker 15: advantage of those times. So for me, I'm always trying
- 30:59Speaker 15: to focus on, you know, the end goal, doing those
- 31:02Speaker 15: small things daily that starve yourself. Maybe sometimes it's some enjoyment,
- 31:06Speaker 15: but at the same time, you know you're moving in
- 31:08Speaker 15: the direction you want to go.
- 31:09Speaker 5: Now, you mentioned earlier you had two daughters, and I
- 31:11Speaker 5: always ask athletes when they come up here, if you
- 31:13Speaker 5: did have a son, would you want your son to
- 31:16Speaker 5: play in the NFL.
- 31:17Speaker 10: I don't think I would have a desire for the
- 31:18Speaker 10: play if he wanted to.
- 31:19Speaker 15: You know, for sure, I got all the keys to
- 31:21Speaker 15: show you how to get there and stay there. You know,
- 31:24Speaker 15: it's a dangerous sport, but everything is dangerous, and I
- 31:27Speaker 15: think one of the things about me my first the
- 31:30Speaker 15: first half of my career, I was I would get
- 31:32Speaker 15: these nagging injuries my neck. I talked about in the book,
- 31:34Speaker 15: I had to get a bunch of everidor shots in
- 31:36Speaker 15: my neck. I'm like, I thought those were just for women. Yeah,
- 31:39Speaker 15: I was getting them in my neck to play football.
- 31:41Speaker 15: You're on heavy kind of anti inflammatories things like that.
- 31:44Speaker 10: So they are the negative things.
- 31:45Speaker 15: But when I stopped trying to hurt people in the game,
- 31:48Speaker 15: I stopped trying to punish my defenders, I stopped getting
- 31:51Speaker 15: hurt and I played eight seasons straight with no injury,
- 31:54Speaker 15: which is absurd in the NFL. So there is a
- 31:56Speaker 15: way to play the game. There's a way to kind
- 31:59Speaker 15: of move about it, take care of yourself that is safe.
- 32:02Speaker 15: But obviously it's it's a violent sport. But the things
- 32:04Speaker 15: that I've learned from playing football are things that, you know,
- 32:07Speaker 15: have made me who I am. I think they give
- 32:09Speaker 15: me an advantage in any situation. You know, you talk about,
- 32:12Speaker 15: you know, stepping away from the game and being Since
- 32:15Speaker 15: seven years old, you've been trained to be a leader,
- 32:16Speaker 15: You've been training a problem solve. You've been trained to
- 32:20Speaker 15: go through processes to evaluate yourself, to evaluate your opponent, fail,
- 32:24Speaker 15: do it all over again, like live on routine. Like
- 32:27Speaker 15: all of those things are things that when you get
- 32:29Speaker 15: out into the world you see regular people CEOs all
- 32:31Speaker 15: the way down struggle with Yet we've been equipped to
- 32:35Speaker 15: do this and been kind of trained to do that,
- 32:36Speaker 15: so you know, it's a trade off. You know, I
- 32:38Speaker 15: think some of those things are good, some of them bad.
- 32:40Speaker 15: It's just up to If I had a sign, it
- 32:41Speaker 15: would really be up to him.
- 32:43Speaker 10: All Right.
- 32:43Speaker 5: We got more with Malcolm Jenkins when we come backs.
- 32:45Speaker 5: New book, What Winners Won't Tell You, it's out right now.
- 32:48Speaker 5: It's the Breakfast Club for the morning morning everybody is
- 32:50Speaker 5: dj NV Charlamage, the guy we are the Breakfast Club
- 32:53Speaker 5: is still kicking it with Malcolm Jenkins is new book,
- 32:56Speaker 5: What Winners Won't tell You. It's out right now, Charlamagne.
- 32:59Speaker 4: You know Tom Brady the forward of your book, he's
- 33:02Speaker 4: playing that relationship because I would never have Tom Brady.
- 33:05Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, you know we were looking obviously we
- 33:08Speaker 15: titled it, you know what was gonna tell you Lessons
- 33:09Speaker 15: from a Legendary defender. We're kind of like, all right, well,
- 33:12Speaker 15: who do we get to write the foreword? And Tom's
- 33:15Speaker 15: name came up, and I'm like, guys, like I've been
- 33:17Speaker 15: trolling Tom about this super Bowl for a few years now.
- 33:20Speaker 15: I don't know Tom's gonna write it, but you know,
- 33:22Speaker 15: and I think about as a defender, who was my
- 33:25Speaker 15: favorite opponent?
- 33:26Speaker 10: It was Tom Brady. Love playing Tom.
- 33:28Speaker 15: He always brought the best out of me as a player,
- 33:30Speaker 15: and you know, he's the greatest of all time. So
- 33:32Speaker 15: I just kind of shot my shot shot in the
- 33:34Speaker 15: text and he obliged.
- 33:36Speaker 8: You know.
- 33:36Speaker 15: That was and it was kind of the cherry on
- 33:38Speaker 15: top of the book, definitely, you know, a stamp.
- 33:40Speaker 10: I appreciated him for that.
- 33:41Speaker 9: Did you'll have a relationship before that?
- 33:43Speaker 15: Really just a mutual you know, relationship respects like an
- 33:46Speaker 15: opponent being peers in the league.
- 33:48Speaker 10: But no, we're not like friends. We don't hang out.
- 33:50Speaker 15: So this is really just based off of like I
- 33:52Speaker 15: see you, you see me type of thing.
- 33:54Speaker 5: Now.
- 33:54Speaker 4: You said he's the greatest of all time. I did, Yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 4: so you stand by he's the greatest quarterback of all time?
- 33:58Speaker 15: Yeah, okay, why as he does the ordinary better than everybody,
- 34:02Speaker 15: Like I look at Aaron Rodgers, and I'm looking at
- 34:04Speaker 15: his skill set like, Okay, Aaron Rodgers is probably the
- 34:06Speaker 15: tougher one to play because he has a skill set
- 34:09Speaker 15: that really nobody else has, Like on the fields hard,
- 34:11Speaker 15: but Tom, he's not fastening. Everybody's people have better arm talent.
- 34:16Speaker 15: He you know, there have been other cerebral quarterbacks. But
- 34:19Speaker 15: it's like, well, why is he having a success he has?
- 34:22Speaker 15: And it's because of his process. He does all the
- 34:24Speaker 15: ordinary things better than everybody else. And I think that's
- 34:28Speaker 15: that to me, is like the cheat code of life.
- 34:30Speaker 15: Like you can there's always gonna be people with God
- 34:32Speaker 15: giving talent, but you master the things that don't take
- 34:35Speaker 15: talent and watch how far it goes.
- 34:37Speaker 9: I feel like, man, what you just said makes so
- 34:38Speaker 9: much sense.
- 34:39Speaker 4: When you look at the people who have God given talent,
- 34:41Speaker 4: they usually do the basics better than everybody. Like they
- 34:44Speaker 4: usually do something as simple as practice harder than everybody.
- 34:48Speaker 15: I mean, think about you look at Steph Curry, Jordan,
- 34:50Speaker 15: all these whole like Kobrey, they talk about practicing like
- 34:55Speaker 15: they don't talk about like, ah, yeah, I gotta you know,
- 34:57Speaker 15: I can jump high, so that's I just jumped over No,
- 35:00Speaker 15: so they doing the very simple things over and over
- 35:02Speaker 15: and over again, and we only see it in the game, like, oh,
- 35:05Speaker 15: this is crazy. You don't realize he's just been doing
- 35:07Speaker 15: the same drill since the age of seven, right, and
- 35:11Speaker 15: so now it's like clockwork body, you know, it's a
- 35:13Speaker 15: muscle memory. And I think that's that's something I've always
- 35:15Speaker 15: been fascinated in and try to do myself. Is like
- 35:18Speaker 15: instead of trying to be the best at some guy
- 35:20Speaker 15: giving talent or do these amazing things, like how do
- 35:22Speaker 15: you just do the ordinary better than everybody else?
- 35:24Speaker 5: Absolutely, Now, you were just inducted into the Ohio State
- 35:27Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, So congratulations that. Now, just if you
- 35:30Speaker 5: could go back and change it, because you know, we
- 35:31Speaker 5: talk about all the things you stand for. Now, would
- 35:33Speaker 5: you prefer or would you rather went to HBCU.
- 35:36Speaker 10: Both my parents went to.
- 35:39Speaker 15: Nokolina A and t I think going back, no, it
- 35:43Speaker 15: was a different time, right, I think right now, the
- 35:46Speaker 15: way that there's a tension on it, there's people willing
- 35:48Speaker 15: to put resources behind the programs.
- 35:50Speaker 10: And all that's happened.
- 35:51Speaker 15: Of course I would now, you know, I think back
- 35:53Speaker 15: then you would have just kind of been selling yourself
- 35:55Speaker 15: short it's like you you need the entire environment, you
- 35:59Speaker 15: need the coach it to come because one player coming,
- 36:01Speaker 15: you need the coach. Like what Dion was doing, you
- 36:05Speaker 15: know for HBC users was a movement and that's the thing.
- 36:09Speaker 15: What is what we wanted to see, That's what would
- 36:11Speaker 15: have made it, you know, appetizing for me as an athlete.
- 36:13Speaker 15: And you know, but I do look at these athletes
- 36:15Speaker 15: now who are doing it like I wish I had.
- 36:18Speaker 10: I wish the environment was like that when I was
- 36:20Speaker 10: coming out.
- 36:21Speaker 4: We have those conversations, man, But I keep thinking, I
- 36:23Speaker 4: want people to remember de anomaly, man, like Dion was
- 36:26Speaker 4: one of the biggest stars in the world.
- 36:28Speaker 9: Because it's not like Eddie George.
- 36:30Speaker 4: Is coaching right like we could be supported to It's
- 36:34Speaker 4: because it's Dion, Like that's what It's not.
- 36:38Speaker 10: Huge Jackson's in Hugh Jackson's coaching too.
- 36:40Speaker 15: R believe Yeah, yeah, I mean, like I said, he's
- 36:42Speaker 15: not the only one. But it is the Dion effect
- 36:45Speaker 15: for sure. It's the It's not just the on field
- 36:47Speaker 15: stuff and coaching. It's the attention you're bringing, the message
- 36:50Speaker 15: that you're bringing, the pride and kind of the showmanship
- 36:54Speaker 15: that you bring to it too.
- 36:55Speaker 10: You gotta make it cool.
- 36:57Speaker 4: How did your trip to Ghana influence your advocacy, Yeah,
- 37:00Speaker 4: I just changed your life period.
- 37:02Speaker 10: It changed everything.
- 37:03Speaker 15: You know, you start to I think all of us
- 37:05Speaker 15: have a bit of an identity crisis at some point.
- 37:08Speaker 15: You know there if you're African American, you want to
- 37:10Speaker 15: know where you came from. And at the lowest point
- 37:13Speaker 15: in my life, it was like one of the most
- 37:14Speaker 15: critical moments in my in the book, I needed to
- 37:17Speaker 15: get away, and I was like, I always wanted to
- 37:18Speaker 15: go to Africa. So I went to Ghana and it
- 37:20Speaker 15: was just to be around something, you know, a place
- 37:24Speaker 15: that's all black or a week and a half. I
- 37:27Speaker 15: didn't realize how much I needed that until I came back.
- 37:30Speaker 15: I was like, I hadn't I hadn't even thought about
- 37:33Speaker 15: being black for a week and a half. And I
- 37:35Speaker 15: was like, that must be what white privilege feels like.
- 37:38Speaker 5: Man.
- 37:39Speaker 15: And I'm like, oh, you know, it's like you didn't
- 37:40Speaker 15: realize you needed those spaces to get away. And so
- 37:43Speaker 15: just going to the lake, slave castles, the door, and
- 37:47Speaker 15: the return, you just feel this this connection with your
- 37:50Speaker 15: ancestry that I hadn't had before. And so and even
- 37:54Speaker 15: just nature and all of those things. So for me
- 37:56Speaker 15: it was it was life changing and change my perspective
- 37:58Speaker 15: of like what's in and what's my role here? Like
- 38:01Speaker 15: you don't I don't strive to have success in this
- 38:05Speaker 15: kind of like American society. It's like, I'm here for
- 38:08Speaker 15: a purpose and i'ma live here. This is what I
- 38:10Speaker 15: call home. But I don't have to buy into the ideology.
- 38:12Speaker 15: You have a you have something before slavery now to
- 38:15Speaker 15: tap into a history, to to to explore. And I
- 38:19Speaker 15: think that that that was mentally liberating for me. Do
- 38:21Speaker 15: you think your daughters, No, they haven't been yet. We've been,
- 38:24Speaker 15: We've been to the continent we were in like Northern Africa, Morocco, Americas,
- 38:28Speaker 15: but they haven't been a gane yet.
- 38:30Speaker 4: Y'all took off for mine and my seven year old
- 38:32Speaker 4: she's eight now. She she literally was like, where are
- 38:35Speaker 4: the white people that.
- 38:36Speaker 10: I talk about in the book.
- 38:39Speaker 15: The only white face I saw it was Jesus and
- 38:42Speaker 15: they have him white Jesus is everywhere. It was crazy,
- 38:45Speaker 15: But I did bring. I brought my two brothers, UH
- 38:48Speaker 15: brought some of my frat brothers. I've been there like
- 38:49Speaker 15: four times. The last time and we closed out the
- 38:53Speaker 15: book with it is uh the time I bring my parents.
- 38:55Speaker 15: They always wanted to get to the continent, and so
- 38:57Speaker 15: I bring them with them, bring them with me, and
- 38:59Speaker 15: they have had a blast.
- 39:01Speaker 5: You got to pick up the new book that winness

- 40:11Speaker 4: fine of more than seventeen grand And personally, I don't
- 40:14Speaker 4: think that is enough. In fact, I think she should
- 40:17Speaker 4: get actual prison time. Why Uncle Shawla, why are you
- 40:20Speaker 4: wishing Printon time on this woman? Well, let's go to

- 40:45Speaker 15: status and she wanted to get checked for her sexual

- 40:55Speaker 6: story about having car trouble and pulling over on the
- 40:58Speaker 6: side of the road.
- 41:00Speaker 18: Approached her.
- 41:02Speaker 6: Because her face was covered, she couldn't describe her attacker.
- 41:05Speaker 6: When police checked her cell phone and found this Walmart
- 41:09Speaker 6: surveillance video, Skogland find the rope herself. She confessed to
- 41:14Speaker 6: making the whole thing up. She was charged with making
- 41:17Speaker 6: a false police report and decided to take a plea deal.
- 41:21Speaker 4: She not even from Florida. She from South Dakota, came

- 41:50Speaker 4: Because women like Renee can't possibly be under the umbrella
- 41:53Speaker 4: of all correct.
- 41:54Speaker 9: I have so many questions. Why didn't she just go
- 41:56Speaker 9: through the clinic? Okay?

- 42:38Speaker 9: Night stand in Tampa, so she.

- 42:44Speaker 4: decided to go get checked out for an STD and
- 42:46Speaker 4: instead of just going to a doctor or a clinic,

- 43:47Speaker 4: money to travel from South Dakota to Tampa to creep

- 44:08Speaker 4: old days? When you know you got an STD and
- 44:10Speaker 4: blamed it on your significant other. We used to be
- 44:13Speaker 4: a country. We are getting away from traditional values. Not

- 44:19Speaker 4: despicable human who would lie about being raped.

- 46:27Speaker 16: we're coming to.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Spread joy, spread a message that it's okay not to
- 46:31Speaker 3: be okay.
- 46:32Speaker 9: That's right.
- 46:32Speaker 3: You started that conversation.
- 46:34Speaker 9: For people who don't know what the Boy's lawnce Tension
- 46:36Speaker 9: Foundation is.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Okay, Yes, Bory's Lawrence Henson Foundation.
- 46:40Speaker 16: We launched in twenty eighteen, and it's really to eradicate
- 46:44Speaker 16: the stigma around mental illness in the black community and
- 46:47Speaker 16: to bring more awareness to mental wellness and the Black
- 46:50Speaker 16: communit because you know, we don't talk about it. We
- 46:52Speaker 16: suffer in silence, We isolate, and we try to be
- 46:55Speaker 16: strong and we're dying. So out of my own necessity
- 47:00Speaker 16: for my own help mental wellness and my son, I
- 47:05Speaker 16: realized there was no real help out there for us.
- 47:08Speaker 16: So I had to do something about it. So my
- 47:10Speaker 16: best friend since the seventh grade, Tracy J. We launched
- 47:14Speaker 16: the Boards Lawntenson Foundation to hopefully help an underserved community.
- 47:21Speaker 5: How's your son doing.
- 47:22Speaker 3: He's so great, great, Yeah, he's so great.
- 47:25Speaker 16: He's maneuvering through you know, trying to become being a
- 47:27Speaker 16: young black man in America. You know when those rose
- 47:30Speaker 16: colored glasses come on. I'm sure you remember those days.
- 47:33Speaker 16: But he's maneuvered through it pretty well.
- 47:35Speaker 9: Did he have a moment, Oh, he had a huge moment.
- 47:37Speaker 16: But I was he picked the right mother, because you know,
- 47:41Speaker 16: and it's interesting because I had an older gentleman tell
- 47:44Speaker 16: me years ago when I was on the television show
- 47:47Speaker 16: called The Division. It was my first series regular, and
- 47:50Speaker 16: I came in upset about something with Marcel. He was
- 47:52Speaker 16: little at the time, and this guy said, don't you
- 47:55Speaker 16: ever give up on him, don't ever give up. I
- 47:57Speaker 16: don't even know if Mark is still alive to this day,
- 47:59Speaker 16: but I just remember him.
- 48:00Speaker 3: I never forget him saying that.
- 48:02Speaker 16: Every time I would have these issues with my son,
- 48:05Speaker 16: I was wanting to choke him, I would hear his voice,
- 48:07Speaker 16: don't ever give up, and you can't give up on
- 48:10Speaker 16: your kids. You just gotta pray. Tracy sent me something
- 48:13Speaker 16: or was it you a Pam? Somebody sent me something
- 48:15Speaker 16: about I think it was a pastor who was saying,
- 48:18Speaker 16: don't give up on your baby.
- 48:19Speaker 3: I don't care if they strung out on.
- 48:20Speaker 16: Drugs, whatever their problem is, you wrap them up in prayer.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Don't ever give up on your children.
- 48:27Speaker 9: So what if you have to? Damn?
- 48:28Speaker 5: Can you set?
- 48:29Speaker 9: Maybe think?
- 48:29Speaker 5: Can you set boundaries with your kids that you need?
- 48:31Speaker 16: You have to set boundaries. You must set boundaries.
- 48:34Speaker 5: What type of boundaries?
- 48:36Speaker 3: Boundaries?
- 48:36Speaker 8: Like?
- 48:37Speaker 16: What are you willing to accept and not accept? You
- 48:39Speaker 16: have to because these kids nowadays come so privileged. They're
- 48:43Speaker 16: not like us now. I was talking to somebody the
- 48:45Speaker 16: other day. I was like, I don't even think. I
- 48:47Speaker 16: can't remember the last time I saw a group of
- 48:49Speaker 16: children playing outside real. Yeah, you have to because they
- 48:54Speaker 16: have these devices now, which is not good for the mental.
- 48:58Speaker 3: So these kids are they don't even know what fresh
- 49:01Speaker 3: air is anymore. I don't think. You know, it's just
- 49:04Speaker 3: a weird time to.
- 49:05Speaker 5: Be a that's true.
- 49:06Speaker 9: You don't even tell you smell like outside. They don't
- 49:08Speaker 9: go out there.
- 49:10Speaker 16: I can't remember the last time I seen girls playing
- 49:12Speaker 16: double Dutch, or or just riding bits or anything.
- 49:16Speaker 4: I guess the scariest thing is you don't want them
- 49:17Speaker 4: to like make any mistakes that's going to really cost
- 49:21Speaker 4: them while they're coming on us.
- 49:22Speaker 16: Correct absolutely that that was your mother's fear. That's every
- 49:26Speaker 16: parent's fear, that was your father's fear. That's all of
- 49:28Speaker 16: our fear forever. Like my mother to this day, she
- 49:32Speaker 16: tracks me. I'm fifty three, she tracks me. She's like,
- 49:34Speaker 16: I just feel so much better knowing where you are,
- 49:37Speaker 16: and when I see you're not moving, I can sleep
- 49:39Speaker 16: at night.
- 49:39Speaker 3: It never ends, It never ends.
- 49:42Speaker 4: What you know, we don't talk about enough the resources
- 49:44Speaker 4: that are available for the friends and family that have
- 49:48Speaker 4: to deal with folks who have mental health issues.
- 49:51Speaker 16: Exactly, you know, because it takes a toll on them,
- 49:54Speaker 16: especially parents, because you feel like I can't fix my child.
- 49:57Speaker 3: It's something that I did wrong.
- 49:59Speaker 16: It's really hard because that's your job to protect your
- 50:04Speaker 16: kids and save them from the you know, mishaps, and
- 50:06Speaker 16: when you can't, you feel inadequate or you feel like
- 50:11Speaker 16: if you're not.
- 50:12Speaker 3: Doing your job. It's hard.
- 50:13Speaker 16: Parenting is not easy, and then being a single parent,
- 50:16Speaker 16: I promise you I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
- 50:19Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I just wouldn't.
- 50:21Speaker 16: It's it's first of all, children need both parents boy,
- 50:25Speaker 16: boys and girls, I don't care. You need both of
- 50:27Speaker 16: your parents. If you're not living in the same household,
- 50:31Speaker 16: you still need both. I mean, you know, regardless of
- 50:34Speaker 16: whether your relationship works out, that has nothing to do
- 50:36Speaker 16: with the kid. You still have to show up both
- 50:38Speaker 16: parents for that child. Unfortunately, my son's father was murdered,
- 50:41Speaker 16: so I didn't have an option. But yeah, it's hard.
- 50:45Speaker 16: It's tough, especially me being a boy mom.
- 50:50Speaker 3: I need the man. I can't teach him how to
- 50:52Speaker 3: be a man. I don't know how to be a man,
- 50:54Speaker 3: you know.
- 50:55Speaker 16: And that was the that was the hardest struggle for us,
- 50:58Speaker 16: because when he was becoming a man, he's looking at
- 51:00Speaker 16: me like, you can't tell me anything.
- 51:01Speaker 3: What can you tell me your girl?
- 51:03Speaker 16: You know? It's just the dynamic is it gets a
- 51:05Speaker 16: little difficult in the young adult years.
- 51:07Speaker 5: Like Chelomy was, you're saying, you know, so what do
- 51:09Speaker 5: you do to make sure your mental is good?
- 51:11Speaker 16: Remember when I went to BALI you there for a
- 51:14Speaker 16: long time too, for a whole month.
- 51:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to.
- 51:17Speaker 17: I had to.
- 51:18Speaker 3: I was coming apart.
- 51:19Speaker 16: At the seams and I didn't realize it because I
- 51:22Speaker 16: was working and God is God is amazing. Because God
- 51:26Speaker 16: will put you in a situation where you have to
- 51:28Speaker 16: sit down. And I have been working, and it's doing
- 51:33Speaker 16: this for over twenty years. I have been working NonStop
- 51:36Speaker 16: my entire career, right, And it was just this past
- 51:40Speaker 16: year where I didn't have a lot. You know, I
- 51:42Speaker 16: did color purple when I was just kind of like
- 51:45Speaker 16: sitting around and not sitting around. I had other stuff
- 51:48Speaker 16: to do, but as far as like a call sheet
- 51:50Speaker 16: and showing up and knowing lines and that kind of
- 51:52Speaker 16: work acting gigs. And it was for a reason because
- 51:56Speaker 16: I needed to. I needed to take care of me.
- 51:58Speaker 16: I was not in a good place mentally. I just
- 52:01Speaker 16: really wasn't. And thank God I had that time to
- 52:06Speaker 16: take care because Lord knows where I would be if
- 52:08Speaker 16: I didn't have the time to really listen to myself
- 52:13Speaker 16: and take time for myself. And I think we live
- 52:16Speaker 16: in such a grind society. It's all about grinding it.
- 52:19Speaker 16: You can sleep when you're in that box. Well, if
- 52:21Speaker 16: you don't sleep now, you might get to that box
- 52:23Speaker 16: a little sooner than you're playing.
- 52:25Speaker 4: When you finally slowed down, you were you surprised that
- 52:28Speaker 4: you weren't happy?
- 52:30Speaker 8: Uh?
- 52:31Speaker 16: I was at first, but then I wasn't because once
- 52:34Speaker 16: you sit down and you go, well, how did you
- 52:37Speaker 16: expect to be happy if you weren't paying attention Like
- 52:39Speaker 16: I wasn't tracking my feelings.
- 52:41Speaker 3: I was just working. And when you finally make it,
- 52:43Speaker 3: you have this dream. I don't care what it is.
- 52:45Speaker 4: You could be.
- 52:45Speaker 16: It could be to be a chef or whatever, but
- 52:48Speaker 16: you have this dream and it finally comes true. It's
- 52:51Speaker 16: like I can't stop now because what if the phone
- 52:53Speaker 16: stops ringing?
- 52:54Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
- 52:55Speaker 16: So you're not really paying attention to you're not doing
- 52:57Speaker 16: a mental check. And then, like I said, God did
- 53:01Speaker 16: it for me. I didn't have the jobs piled up,
- 53:03Speaker 16: and I literally had to stop and check myself. I
- 53:07Speaker 16: wasn't doing well, and I knew because I was looking
- 53:10Speaker 16: at the people around me, and they were like walking
- 53:12Speaker 16: on eggshells and I'm a cool person, like I'm I'm
- 53:15Speaker 16: I'm the most fun person, but they were concerned because
- 53:17Speaker 16: I was a short fuse any little thing. I was like,
- 53:19Speaker 16: I'm so annoyed. I was annoyed about every little thing.
- 53:22Speaker 16: And it was like like I could even feel myself
- 53:26Speaker 16: wanting to get into like arguments on the streets and
- 53:29Speaker 16: you know, nowadays, that's not safe.
- 53:32Speaker 3: It could be the end of your life, you know.
- 53:34Speaker 16: And so it was things like little things were triggering me,
- 53:37Speaker 16: little things that once upon a time would just you know,
- 53:41Speaker 16: be water under the bridge, water off my back, but whatever.
- 53:44Speaker 3: But I was literally everything was.
- 53:47Speaker 16: Just just I felt like I could just run through
- 53:50Speaker 16: a wall.
- 53:54Speaker 4: A lot of people, don't you know a lot of
- 53:55Speaker 4: people woulody else.
- 53:57Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
- 53:58Speaker 16: I'm the type like if I don't feel I stay home.

- 55:25Speaker 9: Yes.
- 55:25Speaker 16: Kate Spade has been our partner since twenty a twenty
- 55:30Speaker 16: twenty two, and they have really just been incredible partners.
- 55:34Speaker 16: Case Bade New York justs been everything. They are the
- 55:37Speaker 16: reason why we're able to erect these wellness pods.
- 55:41Speaker 3: At HBCU campuses.
- 55:42Speaker 16: They've been our partners in that and just in our
- 55:45Speaker 16: partners and getting the message of mental wellness.
- 55:47Speaker 5: And talk about that what you're doing on those HBCU campuses. Okay,
- 55:50Speaker 5: and the first campuses you're started.
- 55:52Speaker 16: With, Yeah, we started with Alabama State University. We erected
- 55:56Speaker 16: the first pod back April and it's been a huge success.
- 56:01Speaker 16: We're interested in the universities that have who are very
- 56:05Speaker 16: serious or invested in their student body mental wellness, because
- 56:10Speaker 16: it's one thing for us to bring the pod, but
- 56:13Speaker 16: now we need your help to keep it going and
- 56:15Speaker 16: make sure that the kids are getting, you know, the
- 56:18Speaker 16: help and the.
- 56:18Speaker 3: Resources that they need.
- 56:20Speaker 16: And our next stop is Hampton and we're doing this
- 56:23Speaker 16: one in November, and this is our second university.
- 56:26Speaker 9: We are you allowed to do it at Hampton.
- 56:30Speaker 16: I knew he was gonna bring something. He got trying
- 56:34Speaker 16: to give me back because he missed me.
- 56:35Speaker 3: On his wall.
- 56:37Speaker 9: Wow, people think.
- 56:41Speaker 5: Lost last weekend? You know, was it HAMPTONWI game. It's
- 56:44Speaker 5: kind of like.
- 56:44Speaker 3: Y'all number one on in anything.
- 56:46Speaker 16: Damn joy joy we have we're here, just bread joy.
- 57:00Speaker 2: He tried his helmet, helmet, get.
- 57:07Speaker 17: That water bucket out of it.
- 57:12Speaker 16: Anyway, he threw me off My joys exactly. Oh, they're
- 57:19Speaker 16: like these containers, you know, those containers that everybody's making
- 57:22Speaker 16: into homes now. So we found a company that's side
- 57:26Speaker 16: container bills and they are amazing. We had a student
- 57:30Speaker 16: from Alabama State University who's a visual artist and she
- 57:34Speaker 16: made the whole mural which is so beautiful. But in
- 57:38Speaker 16: the respite pod, you can have meditation, you can do yoga.
- 57:43Speaker 3: We have two actual rest pods.
- 57:46Speaker 16: We're student because you know, when you're in college, you're
- 57:49Speaker 16: always around people. You know, you have roommates, it's study
- 57:52Speaker 16: halls to students, and sometimes you just need to get
- 57:55Speaker 16: away from all of that, and so we have these
- 57:57Speaker 16: rooms where you can go respite.
- 57:59Speaker 3: You can you can.
- 58:01Speaker 16: Meet with a therapist virtually or in person, or you
- 58:04Speaker 16: can just go in there and just relax and chill.
- 58:07Speaker 9: Sometimes you need.
- 58:09Speaker 16: Yes, yes, yes, So it's a safe space for students
- 58:12Speaker 16: to go when they feel stressed, well, when it's too much.
- 58:14Speaker 5: How many HBCUs are you going to for this? That's yes,
- 58:18Speaker 5: that's dope. The students need that because because it gets stressful,
- 58:21Speaker 5: and especially for students that's never been alone, going to
- 58:25Speaker 5: those schools and not knowing people gives you anxiety having
- 58:28Speaker 5: to pass and knowing that if you get a lower
- 58:30Speaker 5: grade than a certain you lose your scholarship, and to
- 58:33Speaker 5: meet a new friends. So I think that's that's amazing.
- 58:35Speaker 16: Yeah, And it's also for students to feel like they belong. Correct,
- 58:40Speaker 16: The dropout rate is insane, and it's I think it's
- 58:44Speaker 16: a lot of it is.
- 58:45Speaker 3: It's you know, it's a lot on these students.
- 58:47Speaker 16: And now throw all social media in the mix on
- 58:50Speaker 16: top of all the other things.
- 58:52Speaker 3: You know. So we're just trying to help.
- 58:54Speaker 16: We're just trying to save us and save our future
- 58:57Speaker 16: by saving these kids.
- 58:59Speaker 9: I feel like you should come out with a line
- 59:01Speaker 9: of pre rolls called Joy Joints.
- 59:02Speaker 16: George Joints, Yes, okay, Joy Joints, a lot.
- 59:07Speaker 9: Of pre rolls. I got it based medicine for the anxiety.
- 59:12Speaker 5: Depression and stuff like that.
- 59:13Speaker 3: Yeah, they are.
- 59:14Speaker 9: That'd be dope. You also have the women I was
- 59:17Speaker 9: Joy Challenge.
- 59:18Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, yeah, you.
- 59:19Speaker 9: Started that last bring. How did somebody join that?
- 59:22Speaker 3: Bors Lhenson Foundation dot org. And you can find out
- 59:27Speaker 3: how you can sign up for the Joy Joints or
- 59:29Speaker 3: how you just if you just want to donate.
- 59:31Speaker 5: You know. Tyler Perry spoke about something a couple of
- 59:34Speaker 5: days ago.
- 59:41Speaker 9: Can you talk about your Broadway show?
- 59:44Speaker 8: That?
- 59:45Speaker 9: Okay, okay, I.
- 59:46Speaker 16: Am so proud to be a producer of a Broadway show.
- 59:50Speaker 16: What I love about this show is it because it
- 59:52Speaker 16: showcases these women, and I love bringing life to hidden figures.
- 59:57Speaker 3: You know, I grew up in d C.
- 59:58Speaker 16: I used to get my hair braided, but but it
- 1:00:00Speaker 16: was always over somebody's house, a friend's house. I never
- 1:00:03Speaker 16: really knew about the hair braiding salons hung out millions
- 1:00:07Speaker 16: of times in Parlem and I would walk past the salons.
- 1:00:10Speaker 16: I just walked past them, you know. But this play
- 1:00:13Speaker 16: brings such a light to these women. And another thing,
- 1:00:16Speaker 16: when you think about Ice and deportation, you never think
- 1:00:19Speaker 16: about us because the only images they always show are
- 1:00:21Speaker 16: the Latin community, right, But this play showcases that these
- 1:00:24Speaker 16: women are undocumented. They're in this country and they're trying
- 1:00:28Speaker 16: to make a living. This is how they're doing their
- 1:00:30Speaker 16: braiding hair. And in the play you see that they
- 1:00:32Speaker 16: have an issue with Ice and their documentation. I never
- 1:00:35Speaker 16: think about that. Do you think about that?
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: No, one time when they I think it was was
- 1:00:40Speaker 4: it the Haitian migrats who they say were coming over.
- 1:00:43Speaker 9: That was a couple of years ago. It was like
- 1:00:44Speaker 9: a mention.
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: It It was just a mention.
- 1:00:46Speaker 16: But whenever Ice shows up, you never see it's always
- 1:00:49Speaker 16: they're coming down on a Latin community.
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: So I never even thought about that.
- 1:00:53Speaker 16: I never even thought about undocumented black people in the US,
- 1:00:57Speaker 16: you know what I mean. And these women literally just
- 1:00:59Speaker 16: trying to make a living, and so that was very
- 1:01:02Speaker 16: interesting to me.
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: Not only that, yes, bringing life.
- 1:01:05Speaker 16: To their their story and their lives and these incredible women.
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: But I love hair. I almost became a cosmetologist.
- 1:01:13Speaker 16: I mean I almost went to school for cosmetology, but
- 1:01:15Speaker 16: I missed it by one year. And I have a
- 1:01:17Speaker 16: hair care line, so it really makes it was a
- 1:01:19Speaker 16: no brainer for me to produce the show.
- 1:01:21Speaker 5: And congratulations on the haircairline won a bunch of awards.
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: Yeah, are you using it at your household?
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: I did try some my kids as well. You know what,
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: my daughter had a problem with Boyd.
- 1:01:32Speaker 9: And Hampton People's live for.
- 1:01:36Speaker 5: Because I actually had to go and get everybody's hair
- 1:01:38Speaker 5: product because my daughter had I don't know what it was,
- 1:01:42Speaker 5: but she had something in the hair and we went
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: and got everybody's here. I mean I didn't got the Brat.
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: I didn't even know the Brat had a hair products.
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: I got picked up the Brat hair products. Porscha has
- 1:01:50Speaker 5: hair products. I picked up because my wife sent me
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: to the store and I just looked for anybody black
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: and I just got on the products.
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: But you love TPAH. But anyway, that's what you forgot
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: to say.
- 1:02:00Speaker 5: I will hold up whole lot of thought. We got
- 1:02:02Speaker 5: more with Taraji p Henson when we come back. It's
- 1:02:04Speaker 5: the Breakfast Club, Good Morning, wake up, good morning on
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: the Breakfast Club, DJ MV, Charlamagne, the Gods. We're still
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: kicking it with Taraji p Henson.
- 1:02:13Speaker 16: Makes stand off for everybody else because t p A
- 1:02:16Speaker 16: specializes in scalp care. Honey, you gotta clean your scalp first,
- 1:02:20Speaker 16: and you have a head that is naked.
- 1:02:23Speaker 10: You can see.
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: Do you have anything?
- 1:02:29Speaker 17: He has a scout doesn't it.
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: You still got to clean.
- 1:02:33Speaker 9: And moisturizers don't get dry.
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: That's what TPS.
- 1:02:36Speaker 5: You got something for him? Boy, that one.
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: This is what I came.
- 1:02:46Speaker 9: But that but that's another way to bring joy.
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: Oh.
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: Absolutely, I believe self care.
- 1:02:52Speaker 16: Hair care is self care, especially for women from ethnic
- 1:02:55Speaker 16: backgrounds because we have curly, thick, big hair and we
- 1:03:00Speaker 16: look at doing our hair as a chore and so
- 1:03:02Speaker 16: with the TPH line, it's more of it's like a
- 1:03:06Speaker 16: spa experience, so you pamper yourself from scout to toe
- 1:03:10Speaker 16: that's you do not have a body line too.
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: So the whole line was created to change.
- 1:03:16Speaker 16: The narrative of you know, taking care of yourself as
- 1:03:20Speaker 16: a chore and look at it more as self care.
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: Like take yourself to the spa. And the reason I came.
- 1:03:26Speaker 16: Up with that is because my care care line launched
- 1:03:29Speaker 16: during the pandemic. People were afraid to go to salons
- 1:03:32Speaker 16: and be around other people. So it was more like
- 1:03:35Speaker 16: bring the salon home to you at an affordable price. Absolutely,
- 1:03:42Speaker 16: you have a scout right.
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: Yes, But I'm talking about guys that use like the
- 1:03:46Speaker 4: just for men in the Beijing, like will it wash
- 1:03:48Speaker 4: it out?
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: It'll wash it all off? Damn Yeah, I think I
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: hear soap and rain.
- 1:03:54Speaker 16: Yeah, you try to be funny.
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: We had a whole conversation about this because I think
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: a lot of gods they're doing this not they're getting
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: their transplants into Beijing and the gentlemen, and I'm like,
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: I'm like why, like who are y'all doing this for?
- 1:04:07Speaker 9: And so a lot of women call them fires. They
- 1:04:08Speaker 9: don't even like that.
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: They rather the guys just just bed be bald or
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: go to the salt and pepper bag.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: Would rather us. Just wear our hair and not wear
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: weeds and stuff.
- 1:04:16Speaker 16: Oh I don't care, you know, but I hear that,
- 1:04:19Speaker 16: you know a lot of minutes.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: Just just be natural.
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: They don't believe that. I think they just I think
- 1:04:24Speaker 4: you should do whatever it is that makes you happy.
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: It makes you happy unless you're a man. If you're
- 1:04:28Speaker 4: a man, you should let the salt and pepper.
- 1:04:29Speaker 8: Girl.
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: Men can't do.
- 1:04:31Speaker 9: Because it looks ridiculous.
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: That's terrible.
- 1:04:33Speaker 9: They haven't learned how to blend it in, like it don't.
- 1:04:35Speaker 17: Look natural good.
- 1:04:36Speaker 16: You don't mind if it looks if it looks good,
- 1:04:38Speaker 16: because some of those wigs look really good.
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: I'm trying to say this with a straight face.
- 1:04:44Speaker 16: I'm really not trying to be funny because I believe
- 1:04:47Speaker 16: people should do what makes them feel good. And if
- 1:04:50Speaker 16: if women can't wear laceron, men can to.
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: Baby hair. They've been going crazy with the baby.
- 1:04:55Speaker 16: Hair is a little out of control. The baby they're bangs,
- 1:04:58Speaker 16: they're not baby baby.
- 1:04:59Speaker 5: Going down to your mouth like this, your nod, like
- 1:05:02Speaker 5: your cheeks.
- 1:05:04Speaker 16: It's getting crazy now, you know what you know what
- 1:05:06Speaker 16: it is when the baby here meet the eyebrown.
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: Yeah, that's getting crazy now, Judge some people like it.
- 1:05:11Speaker 16: And if that makes you happy, wear that baby, bang baby,
- 1:05:15Speaker 16: because that that is a.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: Bang on your forehead.
- 1:05:18Speaker 16: But if that makes you feel good, wear that bang
- 1:05:22Speaker 16: baby and get you some TPH products to slick it down.
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: That's right, that's right now. World Mental Health Day is
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: coming up. Yeah, what are some things people could do
- 1:05:30Speaker 4: in their community to create their own joy joints and
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: joy challenges?
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: Get the best group.
- 1:05:35Speaker 16: If you like space, you like oh no, whatever it
- 1:05:38Speaker 16: is that brings you joy. It could be sitting outside,
- 1:05:42Speaker 16: sitting on the stoop talking, whatever it is, whatever brings
- 1:05:45Speaker 16: you joy.
- 1:05:45Speaker 17: I can't tell you.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: What brings you, Joe, I know what brings me joy.
- 1:05:49Speaker 17: I want to play.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: I want to do double dutch. I want to jump
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: double ducks.
- 1:05:53Speaker 9: You still doing nothing?
- 1:05:54Speaker 16: Play jacks? I haven't in a while, but I would
- 1:05:58Speaker 16: to bring myself joy. I'm willing to do any thing
- 1:06:00Speaker 16: people do. Child Absolutely never let your in a child die.
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: People don't double dust, nor do they know how to
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: double dutch and know and that which is crazy because
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: when we do the events, I bring this double dutch team,
- 1:06:12Speaker 5: husband and wife, and they teach people how to double dutch,
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: men and women, and they teach you the easy way
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: how to how to? You know, because I'm double handed,
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: so I don't know how to. I don't know how
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: to do it. But but it teach you because it's
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: funny and it's an exercise. And a lot of people
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: that they don't know how to do it.
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: No, they don't because people aren't playing outside anymore.
- 1:06:26Speaker 5: That's correct.
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: I like what you said about that, because you know
- 1:06:30Speaker 4: a lot of people are afraid to do that because
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: they're in a child still needs so broken. Yeah, so
- 1:06:34Speaker 4: what do you do when you're in a child still
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: needs to be loved?
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: You have to nurture it.
- 1:06:39Speaker 16: Have to nurture that little child, pay attention to it.
- 1:06:42Speaker 16: That child cries out for attention all the time. I
- 1:06:46Speaker 16: play still to this day.
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: That's what my salon is about.
- 1:06:50Speaker 16: I'm a salon in my house and I get my
- 1:06:53Speaker 16: friends tease me all the time because I have a
- 1:06:55Speaker 16: square like a register. It's just I used to play
- 1:06:59Speaker 16: register when I was a kid, and as I grew up,
- 1:07:02Speaker 16: I was like, I'm going to always purchase the things
- 1:07:04Speaker 16: that I couldn't afford. When I was a kid, I
- 1:07:06Speaker 16: was told no so much because we couldn't afford it,
- 1:07:09Speaker 16: and when I can afford, I'm going to get it.
- 1:07:11Speaker 16: And so my salon is more like my playroom, and
- 1:07:14Speaker 16: that's where I go when things become too much.
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: I go in there and I tell people, don't call me.
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: I have clients.
- 1:07:24Speaker 9: And what do you do do you go through a whole?
- 1:07:26Speaker 16: Like ye have an appointment book and I make up appointments.
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: I go there, I let my.
- 1:07:32Speaker 16: Inner child play, and I have these dolls, these heads,
- 1:07:36Speaker 16: and I do their hair like one may have a
- 1:07:39Speaker 16: wet set appointment, one may have.
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: A die, I may have to cut.
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: You do by yourself.
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: Yeah wow.
- 1:07:46Speaker 16: I went to the University of YouTube and I learned
- 1:07:49Speaker 16: a lot. I graduated magna cum lati, so I know a.
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: Lot of things. Over your house, Oh yes, bring the
- 1:07:59Speaker 5: boat drop off.
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: I was like that, Why did I have a girl?
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: It was a hard man like miss me. With all
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: of that, I'm not interested.
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: Girls are hard. I got four of them.
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: And my oldest is at that age where she don't
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: want nothing to do with daddy.
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: She's fifteen. Oh my god, and that's heartbreaking.
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: Your put your seatbelt on.

- 1:08:45Speaker 5: Stop crying out.
- 1:08:46Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think people realize how heartbreaking.
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: That's something that fathers don't talk about it enough, Like
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: that's heartbreaking when you're your little girl all of a
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: sudden don't want nothing to do with you and act
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: like they don't even like you. Would you would you
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: say that the boy Thorntento Foundation is your life's work.
- 1:09:00Speaker 16: Yeah, definitely my life a life purpose, a purpose, a
- 1:09:04Speaker 16: clear purpose. Like I thought it was acting I'm going
- 1:09:07Speaker 16: to touch the people through my work, and of course
- 1:09:09Speaker 16: I did, but I just felt like that was to
- 1:09:12Speaker 16: bring me here because this feels really fulfilling, like I really,
- 1:09:15Speaker 16: because you could do a performance, will you touch somebody?
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: Will you change my I don't know, I hope.
- 1:09:21Speaker 16: So, but this is the work that is really changing
- 1:09:23Speaker 16: and saving lives and I feel good about what I'm doing.
- 1:09:28Speaker 16: I feel important important, I know, I know, but this
- 1:09:33Speaker 16: really makes me feel like I have a life purpose
- 1:09:36Speaker 16: beyond vanity and being pretty in front of a camera.
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: Or what does she have on?
- 1:09:41Speaker 9: Or you know, are you almost Hollywood?
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: Almost is anyway? But I still got some jobs to complete.
- 1:09:51Speaker 16: I have some things that I'm working on, but I know, yeah,
- 1:09:54Speaker 16: it's it's getting to the point where I'm ready to
- 1:09:56Speaker 16: let these kids have it. You know, I'm looking for
- 1:09:59Speaker 16: my exit stres ategy. I don't want to be doing
- 1:10:01Speaker 16: this one, not on a grind now, you know. I

- 1:10:56Speaker 5: are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guest joining
- 1:10:58Speaker 5: us this morning.
- 1:10:59Speaker 9: Yes, indeed we have Queen.
- 1:11:00Speaker 5: Of Four welcome back, so glad to be back. And
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: Stephanie mcral welcome.
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having us.
- 1:11:06Speaker 19: You've always supported the wellness for our communities, and thank you.
- 1:11:10Speaker 19: And I'm welcome to see you old. I'm welcome to CEO. Together.
- 1:11:13Speaker 19: We are partnering in warm, a work of warm as
- 1:11:16Speaker 19: we're coming forth to bring awareness to Domestic Violence month,
- 1:11:21Speaker 19: you know, and within that in October. It's happening right now,
- 1:11:24Speaker 19: Thursday the fifth. We're coming to us spectacular work today
- 1:11:28Speaker 19: of Haarlem healing.
- 1:11:29Speaker 10: What is that?
- 1:11:30Speaker 5: Tell us what that is?
- 1:11:31Speaker 19: Well, we're coming together and we're going to share ways
- 1:11:34Speaker 19: in which to protect ourselves, to heal ourselves. And it's
- 1:11:36Speaker 19: a family affair. Although the women, you know, you have
- 1:11:40Speaker 19: all the women that have been challenged that they've been
- 1:11:43Speaker 19: murdered basically in their own homes, so there's violence in
- 1:11:46Speaker 19: our homes and we have to heal as people, as family.
- 1:11:49Speaker 19: So it's not we're pointing to finger at our men,
- 1:11:52Speaker 19: but we're looking at us as a community. What can
- 1:11:54Speaker 19: we all do collectively to protect one another? Because when
- 1:11:58Speaker 19: you take a woman's life in your own life and
- 1:12:01Speaker 19: then the children are highly in danger. So we're coming
- 1:12:04Speaker 19: together as me a holders to killer for the last
- 1:12:06Speaker 19: fifty years, and you're doing your work in community building
- 1:12:10Speaker 19: and not for profit and Warm. But it's been over
- 1:12:13Speaker 19: twelve years, and it's been.
- 1:12:14Speaker 17: Actually thirteen years is thirteen.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: I gave birth to Warm in twenty ten, coming out
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: of this cycle of domestic violence. And when I came
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: back to Harlem, I didn't see any women that looked
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: like me. I didn't see any representation of women of color,
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: and I certainly didn't see any lived experienced women. Where
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: I come from, it is you are to be quiet
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: and it is a shame. And we're saying that domestic
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: violence is not a shame, it's a crime, and we
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: want to expose it for what it is because women
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: are dying. This book right here, Every woman in this
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: book has been murdered. Did the candlelight Visuals did the
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: funerals for mother and children. So it's a critical issue
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: here and I'm so honored to you to have us here.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: And one of the things that we want to talk
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: about it is important to feel. You gotta feel first,
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: then you got to deal, and then you got to
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: come to that table of healing our body minus spirits.
- 1:13:09Speaker 17: So that's what we're going to do in Harlem this year.
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: We in Harlem on October fifth is bring our community
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: together because we've been devastated.
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: Let me ask you a question. When you deal with
- 1:13:20Speaker 5: people that's been affected by domestic violence, right especially now
- 1:13:23Speaker 5: culture black men, why don't you think people shun them
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: enough or shove those cases enough. A lot of times
- 1:13:30Speaker 5: you see a lot of domestic violence cases get swept
- 1:13:32Speaker 5: under the rug. A lot of times you see domestic
- 1:13:34Speaker 5: violent cases people get plead out to lesser charges. Why
- 1:13:37Speaker 5: do you think that happens so much in our community?
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: And why don't you think it's spoken about more in
- 1:13:42Speaker 5: our community?
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: Well, the first thing is it is an uncomfortable conversation
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: and a lot of times, because you're dealing with women
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: and children who are still considered to be second class
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: citizens in the world.
- 1:13:57Speaker 17: So they don't take it serious enough.
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, well it just happened that brother got
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: a little upset.
- 1:14:03Speaker 17: It's not that bad, but we're saying that it is bad.
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: It is a human right issue now because women and
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: children are being murdered. This book right here. All these
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: women didn't make it out. And one of the things
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: that you know in our community, there's just so much
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: there's a lack, there's no resources there. So that's why
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: I came back to Harlem, because there wasn't anything in
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: Harlem for women like me that looked like me. So
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: we opened up the floodgates and God has sent hundreds
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: and thousands of his children.
- 1:14:37Speaker 19: In some people at the event, Oh we're gonna have well,
- 1:14:40Speaker 19: both of us are gonna be there, Yes of us there,
- 1:14:44Speaker 19: and then we're.
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: Gonna have China.
- 1:14:46Speaker 19: China is the CEO of doll House Cosmetics, and we
- 1:14:49Speaker 19: invited her because she's she overcame domestic violence and as
- 1:14:54Speaker 19: a result, she became an entrepreneur to let you know
- 1:14:57Speaker 19: that there's a future even though you've been beat down
- 1:14:59Speaker 19: and heard wounded in your own home, that you can
- 1:15:02Speaker 19: rise up, you can overcome. And she has a healthy
- 1:15:04Speaker 19: relationship now, So that's an example. Then we have a moderator,
- 1:15:09Speaker 19: BB Smith's I'm going to moderate everything. And then we
- 1:15:12Speaker 19: have doctor Jeffrey Gernard. So he's going to be there
- 1:15:14Speaker 19: and he's going to talk about the psychology and the
- 1:15:16Speaker 19: emotions of it. I'm going to be talking about a
- 1:15:19Speaker 19: way to bring medicine in our own homes. Buddhas medicine
- 1:15:22Speaker 19: is my specialty. And a lot of the anger and
- 1:15:24Speaker 19: the stresses is what we're eating and what's eating at us,
- 1:15:27Speaker 19: and so we're acting. One of the things I had
- 1:15:29Speaker 19: asked you, I said, well, what time when does this happen.
- 1:15:32Speaker 17: The violence?
- 1:15:32Speaker 19: And you said on the weekend. So that's after having
- 1:15:35Speaker 19: some alcohol and some you know, something to numb the hurt.
- 1:15:40Speaker 19: Women and men are numbing a lot of the hurt
- 1:15:42Speaker 19: and so but then it doesn't numb out, it actually
- 1:15:45Speaker 19: expresses itself further out. So I have a whole campaign
- 1:15:49Speaker 19: of detoxing. We can detox the woundedness, the hurt that
- 1:15:53Speaker 19: we're bringing attention that we can distress. We can release
- 1:15:57Speaker 19: our anger in a positive way, maybe walking, maybe you know,
- 1:16:02Speaker 19: working together, fasting and cleansing. So I'm doing a seven
- 1:16:04Speaker 19: day at.
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: The end of October.
- 1:16:08Speaker 17: End of October.
- 1:16:08Speaker 19: Yes, we're gonna come together. We're gonna launch at warm
- 1:16:11Speaker 19: at your location on twenty sixth Streel in Harlem. Yes,
- 1:16:15Speaker 19: and we're gonna launch our seven day detox, not seven
- 1:16:18Speaker 19: too much, not twenty one days.
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: Help me do seven days.
- 1:16:20Speaker 19: And every night we'll be talking to the women, encouraging them,
- 1:16:23Speaker 19: strengthening them, because I always see the women as the
- 1:16:25Speaker 19: healers of the home. The women can heal and if
- 1:16:28Speaker 19: they raise their vibrations strong enough and we all come together,
- 1:16:32Speaker 19: then our men will respond to us differently because we'll
- 1:16:35Speaker 19: be able.
- 1:16:35Speaker 17: To help them.
- 1:16:36Speaker 5: We're being to walk them off.
- 1:16:37Speaker 19: The edge, walk them over the bridge, help them to detox.
- 1:16:40Speaker 19: Just something a green juice. Every day was stressed. Bring
- 1:16:42Speaker 19: the stress of us all the way down, a heell
- 1:16:44Speaker 19: in barefloors. Have you not fight against yourself, but go
- 1:16:47Speaker 19: inside and see what are my issues? What did I
- 1:16:50Speaker 19: carry over through my mother and father fighting? And I'm
- 1:16:52Speaker 19: bringing that into my house in this generation. And then
- 1:16:55Speaker 19: it just keeps going from generation to generation. Because you
- 1:16:57Speaker 19: talked about the digital cycle with your own family, you
- 1:17:00Speaker 19: know that we're gone through that. We have a passion
- 1:17:03Speaker 19: for this because we went through it ourself.
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: Know, somebody might say, well, you know, why should we
- 1:17:08Speaker 5: have to help the men that are going through their
- 1:17:10Speaker 5: own problems and beating us? Why should we have to
- 1:17:12Speaker 5: be the person to stop them from doing that. What
- 1:17:15Speaker 5: would you say to that woman and people out there listening,
- 1:17:18Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: I would say that it is our duty to help
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: our men. It is our obligation to help our men.
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: It is what we've been called to do to help
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: our men. You know, everything is birth from a woman.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: Everything comes from a woman. So we are talking about
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: if we are getting ourself right and we are doing
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: all the healing and eating right and fastening and praying,
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: and if we don't bring our men into this equation
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: of healing, then who.
- 1:17:49Speaker 17: Are we going to turn to.
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: So it is our obligation to tell our brothers. Look,
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: and it is your obligation to tell your brothers, your
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: brother that's domestic violence. For thirty something years, I'm into
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: living in this world, and I didn't have the identification.
- 1:18:05Speaker 17: It wasn't talked about, so we just thought that's what
- 1:18:07Speaker 17: happened in the household, right, That's what my mother and
- 1:18:10Speaker 17: my father do.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: So what our job is to bring our brothers into
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: this equation.
- 1:18:16Speaker 17: So yes, it is my obligation.
- 1:18:17Speaker 4: You're not saying that if a woman is in that
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: situation and she's receiving abuse from the man, she should
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: just stay there and try to help the man.
- 1:18:25Speaker 17: No, no, we're saying, get out.
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: We can get you out.
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: Let's get you out so you can get you some help.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: And thank you brother for bringing that around.
- 1:18:31Speaker 17: Get you some help.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: What they said, when you get on a plane, put
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: your acciden on first. Okay, if I'm not breathing, then
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: nobody's brieving. So I got to breathe first. Then brother,
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: let me come back and help you. I had to
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: get out.
- 1:18:44Speaker 17: I wanted to.
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: I had a conversation with one of my abuses I'm
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: not mentioned in no names, and.
- 1:18:50Speaker 17: I asked him, why were you violating me like that?
- 1:18:54Speaker 17: And he said he was beating his mother.
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: Oooh he just passed.
- 1:19:01Speaker 17: I just like, okay, God, yeah you right now that statement.
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: I got to go back and be available for our
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: brothers because they are hurt and it's deep.
- 1:19:11Speaker 17: It ain't just happened. I get an abuse relationship.
- 1:19:13Speaker 9: It just happened.
- 1:19:14Speaker 17: That thing happened when I was five years old. It
- 1:19:16Speaker 17: was planned and.
- 1:19:17Speaker 9: It was in depth.
- 1:19:18Speaker 17: It was birthed in me because I've seen it.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: You know, when you spill something on the sofa, you
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: see the little stained, but you don't see it.
- 1:19:24Speaker 17: That thing is steep down in me.
- 1:19:27Speaker 5: We have more with Queen of Four and Stephanie McGraw.
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: When we come back the event day of Harlem Healing.
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: It's happened in Thursday, October fifth at the Harlem Hospital.
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: We'll discuss with the more. So don't move. It's to
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlomagne
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: it with Queen of four and Stephanie McGraw Charlomagne.
- 1:19:44Speaker 9: If somebody wants to get involved, how can they.
- 1:19:46Speaker 17: Thank you for asking that question?
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: So Warm is a five OC domestic violence organization. We're
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: at eight West one hundred and twenty sixth Street, that's
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: between Lennox and Fifth. We are open a nine to six.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: We work on Saturdays from nine to two. But if
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: you want to get involved, you can reach out to
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: us that we are really matter at gmail dot com
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: or you can find us on Instagram. That's Warm and YC.
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: We need everybody involved. Like I said at the top
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: of this segment, this is a human issue. This is
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: not just a domestic violence issue or man. It's a
- 1:20:21Speaker 2: human issue and it's affecting us from around the world.
- 1:20:25Speaker 17: So we just encourage everybody.
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: You can reach out to us at nine one seven
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: seven three six sixteen twenty one or nine one seven
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: seven three six zero six eight zero.
- 1:20:35Speaker 5: A lot of women, I'm sure feel like like you
- 1:20:37Speaker 5: said earlier, like you know, I mean, if this is
- 1:20:39Speaker 5: my family, I don't want to do this to my kids,
- 1:20:41Speaker 5: I don't want to break up the family. So what
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: would you tell a woman out there that's listening right now,
- 1:20:45Speaker 5: that might be going through similar situations, might be being
- 1:20:48Speaker 5: abused mentally, might be abusing, being amused, abused physically. How
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: would you tell them how to get out if they
- 1:20:53Speaker 5: don't know how?
- 1:20:54Speaker 19: Well, it's not just we do one thing, it's a
- 1:20:57Speaker 19: multitude of things. First, you have to say no more.
- 1:21:00Speaker 19: He's standing for yourself and your own quiety soul and
- 1:21:02Speaker 19: said I'm because my children will be damaged from this.
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: When we spoke of them.
- 1:21:07Speaker 19: One of the last cases, you said, the husband took
- 1:21:10Speaker 19: his life first took his wife's life, then he took
- 1:21:13Speaker 19: his one year old, and then he murdered his three
- 1:21:15Speaker 19: year old. So it goes to and he hinted his
- 1:21:19Speaker 19: life at the end of that. So it is something
- 1:21:22Speaker 19: that we have to act now. There is someone right
- 1:21:25Speaker 19: now who's listening to us and who's feeling I don't
- 1:21:28Speaker 19: know how to get out. You go to your mother,
- 1:21:31Speaker 19: you go to your friend, you come to warm you
- 1:21:33Speaker 19: come to Queen of four. We will will because everyone's
- 1:21:36Speaker 19: case is not the same, and sometimes you have help
- 1:21:39Speaker 19: that you're not even realizing. Sometimes women are fighting with
- 1:21:42Speaker 19: their own mothers, so they can even go to back
- 1:21:44Speaker 19: to their mother's home for help. So we as the
- 1:21:46Speaker 19: people must begin to heal. So every case is a
- 1:21:48Speaker 19: bit different. We're saying everyone come out on Wednesday on Thursday,
- 1:21:52Speaker 19: because it's going to be around the world. Everyone can
- 1:21:55Speaker 19: see it. It's free those who can get into the
- 1:21:58Speaker 19: building at Harlem High. The fact that Harlem Hospital open
- 1:22:00Speaker 19: up your doors for us to be able to do
- 1:22:01Speaker 19: something like this, it's saying that we need the community
- 1:22:04Speaker 19: to be the healers too. It's not just the hospital's
- 1:22:07Speaker 19: going to heal us. We as a people are going
- 1:22:09Speaker 19: to have to heal us. And that's why it's not
- 1:22:11Speaker 19: about fighting the men or fighting when we need families,
- 1:22:14Speaker 19: and you cannot have family of just women. You can
- 1:22:16Speaker 19: not have family with just men. You have to have
- 1:22:18Speaker 19: men who are healed up. You have to have women
- 1:22:20Speaker 19: who are healed up and prevent. Don't wait and tell,
- 1:22:23Speaker 19: because everyone's going through something. Sometimes yelling at someone will
- 1:22:25Speaker 19: breaks someone's self esteem. Someone just pushing them. It seems
- 1:22:28Speaker 19: so harmless, it's nothing to it. Sometimes they'll yell, they'll
- 1:22:31Speaker 19: fight all of this. Probably everyone who's coming out, they'll say,
- 1:22:34Speaker 19: it happened to me at least once in my life.
- 1:22:36Speaker 19: But maybe we can stop that when we start talking
- 1:22:39Speaker 19: about it and we move to shame. And so if
- 1:22:41Speaker 19: we move to shame and said this is what we're
- 1:22:43Speaker 19: going through, let's work it out, what I have is
- 1:22:46Speaker 19: it says black women are in a stead of emergency,
- 1:22:48Speaker 19: but families are instead of emergency. And the spirit of
- 1:22:51Speaker 19: Domestic Violence Month, I'm saying, get out the trap, overcome.
- 1:22:55Speaker 19: Now be the change that I'm a change making. We'll
- 1:22:58Speaker 19: all have the change making to do our poor. So
- 1:23:01Speaker 19: on the October twenty seventh, this is like part one.
- 1:23:04Speaker 19: Part one is just get all to Harlem. The drums
- 1:23:07Speaker 19: will be playing. You know, Bob WA's coming out. Who
- 1:23:11Speaker 19: else is Erica Porter's coming out. We are unifying. It's
- 1:23:15Speaker 19: not like one organization or one group of healers. And
- 1:23:18Speaker 19: it's where United Breakfast club saying I am supporting us.
- 1:23:22Speaker 19: This is a big deal because we respect you, we
- 1:23:24Speaker 19: love you, and we honor you and you honor us
- 1:23:26Speaker 19: as the people. So you're allowing us to be here
- 1:23:29Speaker 19: now it's going to help to stop some of the violence.
- 1:23:32Speaker 5: We're talking about the event and the time and where
- 1:23:34Speaker 5: people can come and how they can get involved. Absolutely,

- 1:24:20Speaker 2: detox And because for myself, you know, I didn't know
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: how to grieve. I did not because they told us,
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: you know, you get the little shot of alcohol, get
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: you a little joint, that's how.
- 1:24:30Speaker 17: You should So I didn't know how it was.
- 1:24:32Speaker 9: Okay.
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: I put on ten pounds of betrayal because I didn't
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: know how to get in touch with what betrayal felt.
- 1:24:39Speaker 17: Like, how to process it out.
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: So what I did a hargandized ice cream chocolate cake
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: every night because I didn't know how to until I
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: got in touch with Queen in twenty sixteen. I crawled
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: into her broken down and I got into the Queen
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: of Food sacred room and train. I graduated as a
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: sacred woman in twenty sixteen, and my whole life was
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: shifted and changed. So I promote healthy eating because I
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: know for myself, I can't get what God got me
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: if I'm clogged up. I got to keep this vessel
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: clean to receive the messages. It's serious like that. What
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: we're dealing with now is spiritual nature. A good old
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: steak is not going to fix me from getting getting
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: out of a bad relationship. But I know if I
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: get on my knees and ask God to guide me out,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: you can't take something spiritual and fix it with something material.
- 1:25:38Speaker 17: It's just not going to work.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: So working with Queen has been one of my greatest gifts,
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: and I give that what she gave me to the women.
- 1:25:46Speaker 17: It's all gravy. I love it. I love what I do.
