You know, sometimes we all get out our own way that.

Part, you know, another business. Sometimes we just man got to do better.

Start making this cue.

I think that's important for.

Us to be responsible for what we know.

Let's start complaining.

Oh I'm sorry, Please excuse me.

It's a system here for the Unicorn children's book and black for the last black Unicorn, black uniform, Leak's bookshelf, bringing a world together with books, culture and community. Now I'm standing here at the La Times Festival book. I'm at usc I got doctor Muriel k at our booth, did a sign and talk to us about your experience out here at the Los Angeles Times Festival book.

I mean, it's been so invigorating, Like people are just so excited about books. People are excited about my Leak's books, and it's wonderful to be able to connect with readers about how they're breaking cycles, how they're experiencing the healing that's within the book. Like it's it's so wonderful to be here. And this place is packed with so much energy, with so much abundance, with so much to do, with so much to take in. It's just such a dope place to be.

Now. Now I should I said your name, but I should have also included the title of your book.

So mentioned the title in ut Okay.

So it's Break the Cycle, a Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma, And it's exactly that. It's a healing guy that helps us to navigate the traumas of the past, the traumas that are within our families that didn't get resolved, got passed down. But it's time to just disrupt those cycles and step into abundance. And step into better legacies. So that's what we're doing here.

You know, we talked earlier about the fact that I'm personally you know, I know I passed on some generational well this guy got it on a bike with a boombox, you know, watch Out the South got something.

Let's step on into the book.

But but we got that big bookmore build out.

Here at the La Toms Festers book. Now we got a little pricy well from all that music.

But you know I mentioned earlier about I know I passed on some generational trauma just you know, and I.

Want to break the cycle.

But first I got a knowledge that I have an issue and something that need to be broken. So you know, just talk to my audience at Malie's bookshelf about some tips they can do to identify and.

To make change.

Well, I mean it, like the first thing is we got to like step into a destigmatized way of looking at our mental health. Like I love that you're saying, like we we all got stuff, right, Like, so I got stuff, you got stuff, And if we don't want to pass it down, or if we don't want to pass it down anymore, then it's going to be important for us to acknowledge it, like, yeah, I got some trauma, I didn't sort it out, and now I want to

You said about yelling, ye, I need to learn something about how to prevent that.

After being frustrated.

You know, I got some achilles heels, got some breaking points. You know. There's some things that you know in progress, you know, and I find myself like certain things I snap at, you know, and and I find that I take it out on the people that's closest to me. Then then outsiders, and yet to people's closer.

Than me are the ones they love you.

And so.

I'm getting this backwards.

It's give me some tips, give me something I can just hold, like something I can just you know.

They help me with that.

Yeah, I mean, first of all, it's so beautiful that you're asking for help. It's beautiful that you're recognizing where your patterns are. You're recognizing where you displace like some of that frustration, which is very typical for us, to displace it onto the people that we know are still going to stick around the next day, right, and that's for everybody, Like most of us do it that way. So the thing that we have to do the most is to learn to relax our minds and our bodies

Yeah, because you know, I realized that, you know, the four elements, earth, air, and water on fire, and I need to control that fire and I need you know.

That's why I asked you that, because it's you.

Know, I'm very passion That's why I'm the hype man of books. And I found a way to redirect that fire in my passion with the books. But I haven't always been successful around some of the people just around me.

They love me, and so me struggling.

Trying to find a way, like a light switch, turn it on it all, trying to find ways to say, man, cut that fire off because you're about to burn up everything.

I mean, yeah, you know that's important for us to understand, like what's our element, right and how do we need to work with it? So if the fire is there, then it's going to be important to you know, when you feel that burning sensation coming up, just be like what's up?

Maleik?

Like what do you need? What do you need right now? Because obviously you have a need that isn't being met and so you have to yell to get that need met, to be heard, to.

Be aggressive, just like I'm aggressive?

Like wow, aggressive right now? Is that necessary?

Right? Like?

What is it that you need that you feel like you can only get through the aggressive you know, like words and language and approaches, so that you can have a better understanding of how you can then show up for yourself.

And that's the key.

Like it's like really going back to yourself and saying, like what am I missing? What do I need? Why am I yelling to be heard? And what is it that I can provide myself in this moment rather than be yelling to get it from others.

I'm gonna take them walks and please do it.

And we need you to survive out here. We also need your longevity. It's also good, you know, for your health overall physical and mental. And the worth that you're doing is so powerful, so beautiful. I love Molief books. I love it here. I love your energy. And so if we want you around for a long time. Then we're gonna need you to take those.

Walks, absolutely, because health is wealth, and wealth is health, and stress kills people.

And especially us.

Yeah.

Yeah, And you know I do a lot of things.

You know, I was a tract athlete, and that's how I used to take out my aggression in mind, you know, because you got to have a certain men time to be a sprint. Like I tell people when I'm coaching, I say, look, you ain't no killer.

I'm telling you right now. To be a sprinter, you got to have a certain.

Mindset because I'm about to rip every muscle in my body to run the fastest time possible. That takes a certain mindset. You ain't willing to unleash. Like me, I'm a fighter, I'm a competitor. So you know now I'm redirecting.

That into books and my career and endeavors.

I just I find myself, you know, trying to find techniques to channel that energy, to channel that aggression, you know, and not on the people.

That love me, because you know you want them to feel your love, not your pain, right, And so it's going to be important for you to be able to work within yourself to figure out why the pain is lingering, like what is actually feeding the painting for it to

Well, I want to thank you. I didn't anticipate yea, look at this boy. She dropped some gems on me. So thank you, thank you, thank you.

I appreciate that.

And I know my audience didn't got something I did. Dope.

Yeah, I love it. I love it. I appreciate you.
