Jill, you have mama booing the studio with us, Yes we do. Hey tell the people where are you from? Um Los Angeles neighborhood Anthons Park? So you from Athens Park? Yes, I know Athens Park very well. And you have a reputation as a person not to be played with back
in the day. Yes, that's absolutely true. And see a lot of people don't know that women sometimes can be the most dangerous people, you know what I'm saying, Because you're dangerous as a mother, especially you know the pretty ones you know like that, and I'm pretty sure you
don't been able to use that to your advantage. And as far as you know, getting a little different situations popping and everything, which we're gonna go into too much detail like that, but growing up in Athens always that to us a bunch of childhood a little bit well my childhood, my mother was on drugs my whole life basically, my dad was in the penitentiary for a majority of my life up in Top was twelve and he got
killed six months after he got out the penitentiary. So from there I was just like one of those kids that was defiant, bad, fighting all the time. But me being grown now looking back, it was really because I couldn't read and I couldn't write, so at school, instead of you know, paying attention to the teacher, I was being disrespectful, fighting in the classroom because I didn't want the attention to be on me that I couldn't actually
read and write. So I was a typical kid growing up in the inner city with a parent on drugs and a parent that passed away young. So you know, it was just a lot going on. So instead of me being on a positive note, I just used all my fears and just took it out violently. So you lashed up, which sounds like another person I knew for this.
I mean all of us to live their life. And every time we do a show, I tell everybody it's a whole bunch of mees out there, and it's some women out there that lived that rough life that was tougher than some of the brothers that the homies that was out there. You grew up in the hood. Basically, it's the situation of being the product of your environment I made. Basically, if you ain't got that start, you give me. A lot of people be thinking that the places we grow up, you have choices, you feel me,
I didn't look at it like that. I had no choice. By the time I turned to out thirteen, it was game banging. There was no other choice, especially if you don't have structure. In my mom's wasn't on drugs, but my pops was. You know, if you came from that era, you probably had somebody in your family member that was on drugs or whatever. And then Moms was, you know, a hard worker. She'd go to work, you know, eleven
at night to seven in the morning. So at night to seven in the morning, I think I was in the streets down on the block every day trying to get my hand on fifty pack to double up and all that ship man, because that's what that's what the o gs was that he wasn't telling, you know, Nikka go to school or what the niggas was like, nigga, here Nikka makes some money. They didn't here go to this heat, nigga, let's go exactly. Was the Big Homies
like more influenced for you then um for me? Growing up with the Big homies, I really wasn't in the circle with him. I was more on the outskirts, but I had a smart ass mouth. That's why I got my name Booboo from anthes it's got a smart mouth. So I was doing more stuff like moving way different stuff over you know, back and forth from different states or whatever. But I wasn't in this conversation circle with them, so it wasn't more of a go to school or
whatever because they wasn't there like that. For my big home is, it was just me and the young guys that I grew up with because it was just me and two of the home girls amongst all of our peers, which was guys. So but the big homies wasn't too much around that. I can really just be like, oh yeah, they used to pull up and no, it was me standing them from afar and hearing their conversation and just
going off of that. I used to I used to go through anters through a party and every time we went to the party, the girls would well like us and we wind up arguing with the anthems because them they said, y'all ain't coming over here to get our women, and I know how they were and not. And I've seen the women in action over there and they was with it, and uh it's rough, I know it's rough.
And and you know most people, you know, they could talk about the hood, they could talk about being in the streets, but being out there twelve doing your thing because I mean, you ain't got no choice right to do what you gotta do to to fit in and to you know, like really get it. So it had to have been rough and it's hard. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So what was the the what was your bottom line? What age was your bottom line? Where
you said I gotta get my ship together. Um, when I got prayed you with my daughter, my oldest, that's when I was like, I gotta stop this because based on the fact that I've always thought that nothing is too much ever gonna happen to me and my mind, then that didn't messed around and stuff that happened to my baby, So that right there was like, we're not doing that. So that was the start of me changing
my life when I was pregnant her. That's cool. Your children have a tendency to divert us to the right path. It should be in most cases. You know, when you have a child come in your life, you usually decided to start you know, I'm had to straighten up because I got somebody depending on me right now. Sometimes that's not always the case, because I'm gonna tell you the eighties was real turbulent, and I assume that's the eighties that you're talking about. You know what's turbuling for everybody
at this table. We all had the brother a relative that was on crack crack just ripped through our communities and just ruined it. I saw, dudes, it was ballers. You know, you had to do that. You looked up to the road down the street. He had to just you know, to do some quarter on and he was sitting up high, had the sound system. The next thing you know, all it ain't there no more, just like everybody else. He walking down the street, reregulant cats cars
and you know, stealing people's VCRs, mocked the house. You know, that was just what it was back then. So you got to shout in your life right now. Was it hard for you to escape the clutches of the hood at that point? No, it wasn't. Because her dad, it's like a O G from Java Street. So I basically moved from my mom and moved with him and had two more kids by him. So it really I didn't have that strangeous relationship like busting out windows and tripping
and tweaking. So I never stayed edgy like that, where Hill like I'm still with one foot in the game Bang World, one ft trying to be a mom. It was like I actually was able to take both feet and be a mom and just figure out what it is that I wanted to do. And I did a lot of reflecting them, but I didn't know that that's
what I was doing. But I basically made it to where I'm not my mom to my daughter because I played sports to school and I was a tomboy growing up, you know, like more the boy activities of person and lipstick was never my thing. It was, you know, in the mud with the guys playing football, and I played basketball and I did good eighth, ninth, and tenth grade playing basketball. But she never came to not one of my games, never did anything, and she didn't have nothing
to do but be in the house. So to me, it's like you don't even support me, and there's nobody here cheer me on. And on top of that, when I sit in the classroom to get these grades at least to a c R, I D so I can't play sports. I don't even know what's really going on in the classroom because I don't want nobody to hear me read because I can't read. So it was a lot of turmoil that I went through, but I just know God was with me the whole time. So when my daughter, it was like, I don't want her to
feel the way I felt and not be there. So my main focus with her was whoever she is, whoever her little spirit is, that's what we're gonna stay with because she's always been on honor row since like elementary, and I made her stay right there and be that person. You know. Now, she's aggressive. She get it from my mama on top of her daddy is not a joke. But she tried to veer off, but I had to will her back in, like she didn't really want to be like me, because I would say I never took
her around that environment. I never had my kids like in the back seat of the car when I pull up in the parking lot, even though I would go to the hood here and there throughout the first two younger little lives or whatever, but they was at my mom house, so they never seen that. They would just ask me questions like Mama, why are you time you
go to the store, blah blah blah. You know, but they never was around, so she didn't know the other side of me, even though she made heard me talk or see me get angry with somebody, but she didn't know that. But it was just natural for her to be aggressive. And I started saying that, like ninth grade, like you, it's nothing to be a little bubble West Centennio. That's not so I had to snatch her spirit out and give it back to her, like get it together.
You're gonna stay the honor role kid, period and in the military now ye. And she graduated from Centennial a row with a three point six g p A and I graduated couldn't even read up the party. And there's a lot of women in the hood that that have that game banging mentality that didn't make it and was having kids, but was having kids by one homie, another homie or another guy from another hood and just weren't able to be mommy. It's not that easy to just
focus on on your kids. But you still hood, so man, we are plugged you because you don't see that all the time. You don't see it all the time. So I guess some of us is lucky, someone much is blessed. Usually you get that following the footsteps type of ship. To be able to get your kids to go on a different path to what they saw, what they had to you know, hear about it is always challenging. You give me, yeah, but I raised minds. They only have two options. They either gonna do what I say do
or are they gonna do what I say do. They're not gonna be negotiating. We're not doing none of this because you're my kid, and I know what I don't want you to do, and you're still in cartoon land, or like these two, the two oldest, y'all just now really getting out a cartoon land. Y'all still kids though. I mean, of course they say eighteen you're grown, but eighteen you're really not mentally grown. So my thing is, y'all gonna do what I say do, or you're gonna
do what I say do. We're not gonna sit there and negotiat if you can go outside at ten o'clock at night, you can't. Period. You're not gonna be saying blood. You're not gonna be doing none of that because I said, you're not period. It stops right there. And a lot of people have that open or with their kids and think it's cute. I really don't trip onto now he's cutting you out of game, banging on you. Not mine. Well, that's because our kids. Certain things we do with our kids.
Our kids tend to believe that, Oh, that ain't my parents, that's my friend. You know what I'm saying, because I see most homies and most females in the hood can sit on the porch and get high with their kids. And once you start getting high and drinking with your kids, now your child is ready to cuts you out what you know what I'm saying. Can you be man and knocking me the mouth because you're talking to you like that. You don't disrespected yourself about getting high with your kids,
you know what I'm saying. So half of it, it ain't the kids fault, it's the parents, folks. Yeah, I actually always say that, like the kids say about sixteen the nineteen twenty years old, it's our fault. And when I say by ours, I don't want the ladies to be offended, but majority of us are single parents, so you have to put the blame right there where the kids is at all the time. You can't be like, oh,
well he not there, the daddy not there. I mean you can't say that because he should be there if percent of the time. Absolutely, but it's our fault. Like sometimes you gotta sit your ass down, shut up and think of what it is you need to do different moves, different because your kids are watching, and if you don't take that time out, then it's your fault. No difference than if one of my kids right now turn out to be something crazy, that's my fault, you know what
I'm saying. Like, of course their daddy or they daddy was in their life for I was waiting for eleven years. I left after eleven years and I've been a single parent by myself. He choose not to deal with his kids for whatever reason. I'm not that bitter baby mom. I don't do the bitter bitch building. I don't do the child sport and all that. I don't do nothing. My thing is I had them, I wanted them. If you don't want to help me, that's fine, but you
should be around. But since you're not, whatever the case may be. But if they were to go left, it's my fault because he's not there. I can't be like, you know, he in there and that's why he acted like that. No, but I'm here. Why didn't I stop him from acting like that? With James McDonald stem age. So that's just my thing. You get a lot of the oh, well, the father was absentee, so you expect
the kids to turn out in a horrible position. But then you'd be like, but if you got a good, strong mama, then because my mom was a single parent, even though I attempted, you know, I fell victim to the gang banging ship and the drugs selling. But because of who she was, it made me wake up quicker. You get me. It made me go, I need to be doing something else. You give me. Myms are struggling. She's a down South woman, come from Gulfport, Mississippi. She
working two jobs. It's me, my brother and my sister. You know what I'm saying. And it ain't hurt fault that I wanted to go hang out with the niggas down the street and start serving and gang banging. Because she was doing everything when she was pulling up on the block, you was able to do that. Get your motherfucking ass in this motherfucking car. And then we'll see me walking down the street with the hood hit up all on my sweatshirt and I just seen a walking in.
Did show motherfucking ass in the car? You ain't no gang And then get out in front of all the niggas. You see this one. He ain't no motherfucking gang banger. You give me. So I'm telling me everything I tried to attempt. I'm giving a funk. If I was in the middle of the hood on the street where the motherfucking niggas was tolden straps and nigga, she pulling up like you opened the door. Uh, you hitch your motherfucking
ass in this car. So from that type of ship, it made me just one day go maybe I need to be doing something else, because first of all, I'm tired of put him up on around the block. That'sh It is embarrassing, like a motherfucker jump out. So but when you got a good, strong mom, then you shouldn't be able to go when they turned our funked up because dad's not around. Should I'm here putting in all
the efforts. My influence should be in these children. So now we're not going that round and and if you're living in the hood or living in those environments, it's an extra harder because when they walk out the door, God fucking influences everywhere. And let's face it, the kids want to be that motherfucker you're perfect, I work, I got everything going, but for some reason, they still want to be that. So you have to try to curve that.
Even with my son, I didn't raise him in Compton, never took him to the hood, never took him the dragnew never took him to whatever. And at a young age when we did go pull up in Compton, I think it was he used to be scared to get out of the car. Yeah, it wasn't his verment. It wasn't. But as he gets older, he watching videos, listening to music and he wants to have to break that. Shouldn't. You're gonna grow up in on motherfucking content. So I had to try to tell people all day that's why
I run a lot. They'd be like, oh, you do your son this, you do yourself to check it out here on Game Bang. He don't claim the hood, he don't sell drugs. He ain't been a juvenilehol someone run like a motherfucker. Yeah, exact. And that's one of the things I tell you know people all the time, especially these younger parents, Your kids are going to be who they are based on the effort that you put into them.
If you're letting them just come home and just run them up and do what they want to, you can't be too surprised when they're sixteen you find out, man, your sell have been out there popping people who have been out there robbing people, don't about the selling them doping kinda what'd you say? Who? Wait? But not really. My two sons went to college. Didn't say they hands, don't wear it rings, none of that. Ship never would be like me. But I got a daughter, my daughter
in prison right now. I was her father. Her mother was in prison for nine years. I had my daughter the whole time. I didn't let her stay with her my mama. I went and got my daughter this mine and raised my daughter. I told my daughter, you don't never want a man like me. You see what I do, You see how things is, You don't you don't want a man like me. I told her to be different. I told her everything. But when I let my daughter go back to her mama, to sea, was replanting her.
Mama ain't ready to be a mama. She had two kids, but she doing her. She on some gangster ship. Tell me if my daughter wanted to be on some gangster ship. And then my daughter wanted up claiming the Southside, and now she in prison. And then everything I did, everything she needed, everything she wanted it, I gave it to it.
So when you say, if a baby girl would have stay with you with my biggest mistake, letting her go back, and just like that little one out there when she come home, I'm not gonna repeat history, and letting him go back makes sense, you feel me, I'm gonna keep him antili teen. Then I know I've raised a young man, a man, you feel me. So he's nothing like me. He tried, but nothing like what I used to be.
And that's what all of us do. Everything my parents was, I'm nothing like just like you said, I'm nothing like that. So it all depends on it really do depend on us. But options are limited with everything, like A said, everything that when you walk out the door or when you go to school, all this ship you see you want to do it? Yeah, exactly, my little brothers and then couldn't wait to get up to go and smoke weeds. I'm fifty some years old. I ain't never smoked weeds.
I just didn't see the why when I get high and not know what the you're doing and where you at. You gotta partition to ship. This ship is real out here, especially in the eighties, so they didn't understand that ship. So to hang out and function with him. I'm a drink and I was old English drinking my buckle back in the days. You know what I'm saying on some one hundad. But it all depends when you become a parent. I was in prison with my first time in eighty one.
No I went to prison and any six, my son was two, and that was the worstest feeling to him, coming to prison and walking around the goddamn visiting room. That's my daddy right there. I can even be proud of me and I'm in prison, and I went back to my shell after the vision was like, damn, I had to revampt this ship. So when I got out of prison, I haven't seen him penitentiary since you know what I'm saying, And that was from my kids. So my son won't have to walk that fucking vision room
and say, damn, that's my dad. But he problemed me though I'm in prison. He don't know ship about it, but he probably that's my daddy. That's my dad. Well, I'll tell you what. Kids they don't want much but our attention, especially boys, because I remember my pops and mean, it was cool. Now we got a real good relationship now. But I remember my pops something, and I can remember all this now I'm fifty years old. I remember back when I was six that he's supposed to come and
pick me up. And I'm over here, I got my clothes and stuff together, and I'm waiting for my daddy and I'm just in the living room waiting. You know, one hour ago, by two hours go by. My mama kind of trying to tell me, let me put your clothes in the closets. They beat them when your dad come. Now, I want to keep it right here, so I don't want to miss him to you point where you fall asleep crying. And this nick ain't showed up here. So I just knew that I'll never go. I'm agle keep
my word with my kids at all times. They don't mean I'm giving them everything that they want. But that means if I tell them something, they can come on it. If I tell them, hey, we're gonna go to the park this day and do this. So I always kind of, I think something in some cases, kind of overly tried to be that perfect father just because of the way my my dad was, you know what I mean. I never even looked at it, like because my mom's in around.
I didn't. I didn't look at I didn't have them episodes. So like, remember, dad ain't around. I'm like, sure my mom was there. She did every fucking thing. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't like you see people say like, well, my father wasn't around. So it kind of sucked me up, and I used to wait for him. I used to be like that nick coming, don't get a twisted, don't get twisted. I'm taking me the football practice. You know,
mom's taking me to school. I mean, I get what you're saying, because you you you you loaned for that, like my dad. But I never had that feeling, you know what. I don't even know if it was longing for him, dog. I just know I saw other kids doing ship with their dad. I saw that my cus and father was in the home. My my other cousin father was But I'm gonna tell you what, but my saving grace was I was walking down the street one day and I was always taller and bigger than everybody,
and there was a dude out there. He was like, hey, man, you play football, and I was like, no, I want to them. So he said, okay, come to this park this day. So I go up there. Man, they're getting my equipment. Ain't know you know this the seventies. Ain't there, ain't nobody's signing, no permissions, live or nothing. They just know we got this tall dude. And I was out there just getting broke off. The first day. I didn't
know what was going on. But then he started teaching me stuff right, and I actually was pretty good, but it used to like really hurt me. I see all these parents and the stands coming to get their kids, and I was just out there by myself. To this day, I don't know how I played the whole season. I ain't never pay no money, ain't never you're nothing. I'm just at the games. Coach, come pick me up, meet
me off here. Nobody asked no questions, and I wind up going to colleagues like that, you know, off of football because somebody took an interest in me, which is why later on I started my youth program just to try to get back. I think, like eight said, dog, in the neighborhood, black women women period, they make the hood go around. They are the strongest in most cases
in the neighborhood. Because the thing is this, you you always hear about daddy's leaving, but when you hear about the mama leaving, it's like, oh, for real, you know, that's just not natural. Mothers are just like our mothers in the hood, go through some stuff. They raised, you figure, they're raising the hard head and they got home. They're raising the hard heare in most cases right, and they're making it happen when they're own. They're paying the bills
when they're own. Stuff like that. Sometimes I'll be wondering, how did these women, like, how do they do that? Like it's almost impossible, because y'all make the impossible happen. So I gotta applaud all y'all black women out there. It is taking care of kids on your own, because it's hard. Oh yes, it is. They gotta ply out the ones who come from the struggle though, because you got you got some who have have advantages or advantue know parents, both parents home, They don't live in the
funked up environments. They get this college scholarship and they get to go off. And then some of these mama's come from where we come from, gang banging and drug selling and nigga's going to the pin and getting killed off. Now I'm left with two kids. Ain't got no baby daddy around, or he just took off and wanted to
go funk with somebody else, or or motherfucker. Was just a lot of us had kids young, and the sisters in the hood that's go get it, girls that already had that background and hustling and telling that I can't give up because I want something. And you had something that chip care of yourself better than the chip care
of the kids. Didn't you have those that you know how when you when you when you get to get nold and to get to like a little yeah, I'm waiting out to the end of time and ship because I got to flip this for the kids or whatever. So like I said, when you come from where we come from, and you're on the woman's status, you know what I'm saying, because you gotta deal with a whole lot of yeah. Yeah, yeah, And that's what and that's
what I want to get back to. Mama Boom. You're going through all this stuff, right, you got a kid right now? Did you graduate in high school? Yes, so you gradualate to high school. What did you do after you graduate in high school? Oh? That a little year after high school. I was turned all the way up. I was doing a whole lot, That's all I'm saying about that. I was turned to the max back in the hood. Yeah, yeah, why, I mean, I was still in eighteen nineteen, so you know, I was still turned up.
That was before my daughter, So I mean I was like out of state. I was. I was doing a whole lot of stuff. I was doing the equal to a boy, to a male like all that. And then people be thinking that most chicks that grew up in the hood, they have like a sexual background with the knicks in the hood. Not all of us. It's very few. It's maybe like two or three of us per hood,
but not all of us went that route. So you know, it's like, I mean, I was just turned to answer your question, and I was just turned all the way to the max. No, we go go into what you've got going on today, which is incredible, But I got I want the people out there to see the transgression. What happened in the hood to make you say, I'm done with this ship. I'm about to go get my life together and just get it going. Was it one
incident that was a series of incidents. Um, it's one in particular that I'm going to speak around and I'll be specific, but um, it was just the see that how the hood don't take care of you when you do something and now you in need and they don't take care of you. Have a friend that's something like that happened to and they just didn't step up to take care of the situation. And it's like, Okay, we're
we're females. And the thing about the females, my opinion, is not only are we fighting for the guys to respect as we're fighting for the following females to respect us to something that you guys don't have to do. Y'all just fighting for each other to know. You know, I'll nigga, i am who I am, and I'm the big nigga or whatever. But the women are fighting both battles, the men to prove that point to them as well as the female too. So it's just it was just
a lot going on. And then then not too much after that, I got pregnant. So I'm like, okay with that happened with my home girl. And the only reason I wasn't there is because I was doing something else that day. Not because I said no, because I wouldn't have been the same situation because we very clear. But to see how that fan out and how the support wasn't there, and we're talking about a female that did something for the hood and for the hood, not to you know, help, I just was like, no, this is
not it's not gonna work. And you in your biborhood, you was kind of considered to go to home girl, like something needs that. You know, you was looked at as a person that wasn't no winning of course. Yeah, yeah, So okay, y'all just want to put that out there, and so what did you do? What did you decide to do after this? Like what was your next step? Did you just say that I'm done with this ship, I'm gonna go to college somebody? You know what I did?
Was I started working really actually once I got pregnant with my daughter, then I just stopped going to the herd so much. And UM, once I had her, I actually taught myself to read by reading to her when she was like months old, and in my mind is like, she don't know if I'm saying this correctly or not. So I just started reading to her because I was
going to school for medical assistant. And then I started reading Donald Goin's books, and I've read all fifteen books of his, but I was reading them to her, and I just taught myself how to read and just kept going from what I was doing and started working UM and assistant living with elders with all times in dementia. So that's what I've done for like fifteen years. We're
working with elders with all times in dementia. A little bit it with going back to the who my foot in there, like the first couple of years of course, fighting and all that stuff, tearing up, terrorizing the hood, but not on ten, maybe like on seven maybe eight, without ten, and just gradually just came into who I am now. But it took different stumbles. It took heartbreak, it took me not understanding why is this happening for me to get to where I'm at now. I mean,
it's been a long road. I'm there and I'm still I'm still getting it. Like I said, some of us, it just takes that extra climb, especially where we come from, it takes us a little extra climb to get And then sometimes that's good for you to to witness some of the pitfalls and ship because then that makes you a better motherfuckering a long run, because then you know what not to get into, you know what not to get involved in. Then you've got lessons to tell other motherfuckers.
You give me follow this path that I followed, and you might. You might make it out of the bullshit that you you end. So, like I said, everybody go through fucking transitions. It's it's more than the transition, because this is something. It's a cycle. You're in the hood and you put your life on the line for the hood. You do things for the hood, and then at the end of the day when you need it, they're not there.
You might have certain individuals that's gonna pop up, but the hood has one Because if I go out and do something for for the homie, I did it for the hood. I ain't do it just for one individual. And there's a lot of people out there just like she said that. But now you gotta see my book, go to jail. What happens you and jail ain't nobody
said that, you know, snaps and no money. The average chat that dies on the street of Compton or l A. They're gonna celebrate that birthday for the first year, and then you forgot about just the homie though, And that's what people don't know, understand. And once you break from that, then they don't like you because you broke from that. That's the crazy part because most people that break from it, they break from it for a reason, you know, something
that's from with them selves. And it's like, I never said forget the hood. I never said that. I never felt like I don't funk with y'all no more. I still funk with y'all from the heart, but just not in physical like I'm around you, right, And it's like, just by you changing, they feel like you don't you're not the same person. No, I'm not. I'm growing. I'm growing. This is my way of growing. I'm not saying the way that I'm growing. You should do it. And I'm
trying to pressure you to be like me. No do you, But I'm stepping in a different path, right What should say, James? Like? It's motherfucker's who you like right now? Still stuck like a motherfucker the drinking. You know. One thing that tricks me out though, is um And this is just noth in l A. This is all over the country. They used to just shovel us through school. She said, she couldn't read, and you just got passed one. You show up, you don't cast. No fucking rookies. They like, hey, they
got her. They make sure she passed. The body here this was the little cast. Don't understand. And I want you to listen to me. My my nephew, Duty was going to school. He was going to Wayley and they kept letting him pass every grade. What the fun? What did you do? Let me? I swear to God, were in the little council meeting because he was bad as a motherfuckers. She said, just pass him so we can get rid of and then grade just to get rid
of me. So they're not thinking about you, right, your education? Right, those folks are in the wrong place because they don't give a fuck. They're coming to get that check. Go home. You got some good teachers out there though, Yes, that that that wanted you get your education. But if you have more im the ones that want to ship, you're good. But you don't have it, so it's up to you. Didn't get it like you got that change that changed
the psycho though. If you get a motherfucker who really is, If you get a motherfucker that just go let this motherfucker go pass, you're gonna be wondering in two years. While I think it just shot up everybody on the block. Whatever you're gonna be like, Damn, he was just in my classroom. I figured that was gonna go to path. Sometimes you gotta reach that type of mom you do.
I'm a proud to that, Gus. When the person learns how to read, When the individual learns how to read, it's almost like you give them freedom, though, because you open up the whole world up to them. When the people learn how to read, you open up a whole another world to them. And so did you eventually move out the neighborhood. I moved away when I was with their dad, but I moved back and I'm still back in the neighborhood. But I mean, I just like you say when you open a book to where you open
your mind to read. Hell, I put myself back in college and you know, I graduated with my business degree. What it is the two thousand nineteen, the same year my daughter graduated from the twelfth grade. So you know, thank you. So it's like one of those things like what people don't understand if you read and research, and I don't understand why people are still stuck being stupid when you got the Google at your fingertips, Like it's so easy now, like back in the day we have
to go to the library and shiftle through books. Now you just google it, and it's like, y'all still stupid. That's a choice, yeah, exactly, because you can self educate yourself. Because some of the most brilliant people I know. I got a partner that's a billionaire, didn't graduate from my school, but it had a desire to learn. He hesyched out here from New York, not a dude on damn every piece of property. It is because he learned how to read, and he learned how to speak, and he learned how
to ask questions. He needed to know you know, he just was curious about it. Took him a while, but this dude, this empire, working the goals gym, selling goals gym membership. Still eventually you know, buying his first apartment unit, buying the second one. Now he in a bigg ass house. This dude don't got high school to plumber, but he taught itself. He didn't let the world dictate to him that you're just gonna be. This is who you are, right, you know, So I'm gonna let you continue on with
your story because this is really like I want to do. So. So you graduated with your degree in business, right, what you do after that just just Whatn't you know what that right there? That was like two years ago, and that was like another moment in my life where I was going through stuff. There was a lot going on at that time, and I got my heart broke. So I just backed away from guys. You know what I'm say not, I don't think no, no like girls that you know, you bunch of woman. You know, I don't
don't be in my deal with that. You know, I think that we are very beautiful. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not I'm the one that will compliment another woman. I don't care about that, you know what I'm saying. But I don't want y'all like that who broke your her because now we want you going into that all want you to find because I ain't your mom. But lady'all gonna see Mama's fine. Mama ain't going that round to why she chose not to? You asked the question
why she chose not to deal with that? So I graduated. Actually, when I walked the stage, it was like a turner point for me. We meet my kids and two of my friends. We drove to Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona for me to graduate out there because I graduate from the University of Phoenix, and so we drove out there and it was just so much going on, a lot of narcissistic acting, you know, from the other person. It was just so much. And once I walked to stay age, I'm like, I
did this. Even though I was going through a lot in my personal life, I still made sure my last three grades on my my last three what is what do they call it? Um? Y'all supposed to help me? Y'all last three year and it's thank you. So the last three years I had b pluses in the A. So in the midst of all of this, so I'm like, I just really thought to myself, like, girl, you could do this. Its like, what is your problem? Why are
you still scared of yourself? Because I've been scared myself for many because back and Down used to wrap and have flows. Don't get it twisted, you know. And I've done a lot of different things where people just be like, that's what you should do, that should gift, and I'll just be scared to show other people who I really am,
just depressing myself, suppressing myself. I mean. So after that I walk into stage, it was like I can do this, Like, you know, then my daughter graduated, then my son graduated from fifth grade, and it's like, you know what, let me step away from men because I'm letting this relationship go and let me reflect and figure out who am I, what do I want to do? And that's how the nonprofit came about. That's how the motorcycle club came about.
That I have my own little motorcycle club. So I just started creating different stuff until were like two years later and I'm still not dealing with men, you know what, I'm saying, but I'm saying that to speak to women that think that every time you break up from something, you go move into something else. Don't do that. Give yourself time and space to be clearing your head with who you are opposed outside the pin you know, a
pillow talk, be who you are. Sure you don't have to validate shelf by saying I got a man now, because it's a lot of things that I've done. Not to cut you off, sorry, it's a lot of things I've done in this two years. It's me. This is what I've done. This is not no me and him
or he helped or this is me everything now. Of course I was on the rail station eight eight point nine with DJ e Man, so that's like a piece of one of my plugs with some of my interviews and then other people, so I made like three people that helped me. But other than that, this is me these two years, my nonprofit, my motorcycle club. I did an interview with a Sweden lady about a year ago, so I have an article over in Sweden. Um. I actually did like a little small soundtrack for the UK.
That's a movie soundtrack that's in the UK. This is me everything that I'm doing, me talking, sit down and interviews. This is what I want to do. I'm at the point where I'm gonna be me and that's a period. And what is this Because you've got some big stuff going on? Yeah, and I'm excited. Can we break the news? Yes? Yes, yes, yes. So with everything that's been going on in my community,
I'll break it down real fast. Within the last two years, within the apartment buildings that I grew up in South Bayville apartments, has been four murders within two years. It started out with the murder with them with the police killing the guy named Ryan. It started out with that, and a week later I believe they was at his visual and one of our homeboys got killed. Then okay, move it to the end of last year. Another one
at home where he's got killed in the apartments. Then February fifteen, friend of mine, she got killed in apartments. So I went to the council. What are y'all gonna do? Because I'm like I told them, y'all have two options. You're either gonna help me help my community, or you're gonna help me help my community. No, it's not an option no more. It's too much going on, and I don't never see y'all. What about the counseling for these
babies over here? You got babies in these apartments that got PTSD from this violence that's going on over here, And ain't nobody talking about counseling. Now we know us as people, we don't do counseling. I think that's one of the dumbest things that we think, because we should. Sometimes we need an outlet, sometimes we need somebody else perspective to change our mindset sometime. But I went to the council and I was just, you know, on their
head about you need to help my community. I'm still here. I talked to the parents with my nonprofit Live Your Life, our mentor and council team Girls and Young Women at Risk. So I'm hearing what's going on on top of my mother still lives in those apartments, so I'm hearing what's
going on, and it's like, y're not doing nothing. So I was like, you know what, let me stop talking about it, because we've been talking and we've been marching since before Marl Luke King, we've been running since before Harriet Tubman do something about it. So yes, let your eyes know that I am on the city council or running for the city council for a community outreach, a representative man, let's give use. Yeah, we need coming from coming from there the same environment ships stepping up and
trying to improve the environment. Especially when you know you've got people dropping like flies in the same spot that that's that's that's a hot spot, when you got children growing up over there. It just seems to be just fucked up that nobody's stepping in and trying to solve the problem with what's going on in this particular area. We got we got solved this ship. But you gotta look at it too, like this, what she doing is important because she from the hood. You know what's going
on in the hood. And that's how we police our own ship. We gotta get people that that came from here, because now I can counsel him, I can tell you why you fucked up? Came nobody from Beverly Hills coming tell me a mother, it don't happen, So I mean dismissed me. When when you want to put all these white people that come from from uh Orange Grove and on these other different places and they part of the
Council of the city, the mayor and all that. Omar Burley, Omar Bradley was a cool motherfucking mayor because he knew the people and he made ship work. But then you you find people that didn't want him there and found petty ship to funk with him. But we need black men and black women from the neighborhood to grow the funk up. Let's get that education and let's take some of these positions. Yeah, that's what I say to a
lot of people. And I've had people like, why do you want your darter in the military, And you know, everybody, we got the statistic thing going on that like everybody wants the military getting murdered and all listen, No they don't like who told you all that? But my thing is, like I sat down my dart and let's let's talk about pros and cons of everything. You know what I'm saying, Like, if you stay here and you find you a job, like,
what what is your job experience? Right now? You fresh out of high school, your Honora kid, you play basketball, You was a captain of the basketball team. You know you are a real treasure. So what are you gonna do with yourself? What you're gonna be making boxes or something like that. So yeah, but my thing was, Okay, you don't have a scholarship to go to college, so therefore, if you go to college, you're gonna have to pay
that back. They're not talking about that. That's not about find that your financial aid goes on to pay it back. Account money like it go there. So if you don't have financial aid, I'm not rich. I cannot see you to college. I'm still in the mud trying to get it out. The mundy. The military it's a way for her to see different ships that a lot of people are scared of, the military ship. I was about to
take the military route. I mean until I started motherfucking wrapping and was blessed with the gift to start writing and pinning ship down. It's not a lot of choices for when you in that motherfucking route. So we don't even talk about it. It's like we don't even bring the military to the tail because that we were taught as as black people. That's that white men and ship. You don't go to the military. Funk, that ship Nigga's gone.
It's always that with with with the way we were talking and then you see in the movies when they paint the pictures, soon as you step on the motherfuck boom is over with about it. But if you think about it, you have uncles. Are are people you know have been to the military. They have a decent life, the ones that wasn't at war. And then that's another thing. If you're not trying to be g I George, g I Jane, then you can go and you can make a life out of this. You could be a barber,
you could be the maintenance man. You don't have to go and be in combat. How would you feel if you wanted to be a police officer, I would applaud them be it, because I need you in position to make change. What were we talking about? You know what I'm said. We outside doing all this yelling and talking about this is what I want you to do, but nobody is either putting themselves in position or teaching theirs to be to be at the table to talk about
these issues. I've said the same ship when it comes to the police and people who police the neighborhoods, you should have motherfucker's who know the neighborhood. You know the
people you're dealing with. Why are you gonna send uh the dude who went to school and bird Bank and ship and then you want to send him down mother to his Motherfucking attitude and mentality is already fuck it as opposed to a nigger who grew up here and and know the streets, know the niggas, know what the position is, and so that way you have a better relationship to deal with the niggas who are still on the block banging or whatever. You feel like how Reggie
Wright Singer was. But the thing is, this is how I feel about the military. Right. There are limited opportunities for our young people out there. It's like, you know, you tell somebody and this is what I fromtly believe. I believe some jobs or traps. Yeah, like you know you tell a kid, they go to McDonald's to make you some money. Right, so they ain't nothing wrong with working. So this ain't it? Not that somebody you know they're doing it. But I believe people need to try to achieve,
you know, they needed in the house. Yeah, because I've known homeboys that the left home that was funck ups. When did the military come back home with different people? They got structure in their life Some people just need a program. Some people just gotta have a program. They gotta have Okay, I'm gonna be here at eight o'clock in the morning before I'm gonna go do this. And you get people to go the military, they come home
and have great careers. They go. When I was playing ball, the dorms I was living in when I was going to do Mexico State, had a couple of guys that just came up the desert storm and they was going to school. Now the government was paying for them to go to school. One of them runs a hotel in Las Vegas now the other ones and you talk doing these things. So there are opportunities out there for people.
And one thing that we got to stop doing is making our keys, especially our black kids, feel limited to what their choices are. Yeah, yeah, we need more black police officers from the hood. You've got you and that comes from the neighborhood. Why do you want to be a police Why you don't want to do that? You you can call if he was in the academy. Here'd be worse than a snitch. Here'll be worse than anything else. Why do you want to be a guy named police officer?
It's your career. Why you want to be a nurse, and why do you want to come on? We we we break each other down and post it, live at each other exactly. We believe we can't be in that building. We can't work in that building. Why because mother others we can't. That's why I'll be in my house telling my kids the total opposite. I'll be in their brain
watching my kids. Now. People be like when I say if you like you, yeah, because if you say the same thing over and over and over from childhood all the way to a teenager, this is embedded in their brain. Like like I tell my daughter, you're not gonna be a stupid smart kid. They don't even make sense for you to be smart. But at he's stupid. We're not gonna do that. No difference than my son right here now he's very well, very good and building things. He
can build a drone almost from scratch. You know, he's very good now. But my thing is to empower him to let him know just because you're not doing the typical guys are doing, then that don't mean you week. That means you you're stronger mentally than they are because you're doing what they're not doing what people say, the opposite of a post of monkey see monkey do. So I just believe people just got to empower their kids in the house. It starts. Everything starts in the house.
My insecurities started in the house. My not being able to talk and get support started in the house. Now Here it is people like, why she's so angry? How ab I been bad since seven, eight, nine years old? Because it was me figuring this out, you know. Now, my mom went a bad Mama wouldn't say that she was on drug. It was never went from pillow to post. She was just in the house. She never supported anything I done, you know. So it was just like me and if by my side, fighting and getting into it.
My mama would come outside and make me come in. How she wouldn't come outside and take up for me and I see what's going on. So I got to the point where I could be fighting right outside of my mama bad gate and wouldn't make a sound, which was support system down. Though you know what, I really don't have one because I don't deal with my family. So it's me literally, this ship is me. Well, you gotta support system, No, you gottaus Yeah, you got us.
I have about three people, Like I said, three people, that's my support, sy and you're running for this position, you gotta have somebody that got you. I'm gonna put on social media because I haven't I haven't posted it yet. I've been waiting to drop it here. So but I have people as far as in people to support me that mostly the people don't even know me, you know.
But as I would say, like a somebody that like a group of people that's around me, like you know, then weekly or whatever like that, and now I don't have that, get some of your girls over there in the neighborhood to to help you out and give them that a little record. I'm going to put the information. I'm going to put the information out there and if they want to help, then they will let me know.
Because when people don't understand our local office, our local government is the one of them packs us the most. So when people be making a big deal about who the president of the United States is gonna be, that really don't hear us. You don't have no effect on don't have no impact on our communities. If the your local city council person, your person is there, that's gonna make that media impact in your community that you can see. So it's definitely they definitely we need to support you.
We need for you to win because you're actually from the community that you're going out there to represent. And I'm so tired of seeing folks come from other places. Yes, stakeholders. They want to be like like put to put it out there. We might be the media. We're going to vote if Chris Rocking win. She damn yeah, yeah, that was the ship right there. We need to her girl with Tesla, Yeah, Tesla for girl, got home, girl testing
for girl shout out to test. But Tess is a political analyst and she knows all about that world and she tells us about all importance because she keeps telling somebody at this table that's with us. She wants him. She got me watching and you know the way, but the way she she breaks down politics because a lot of people don't get involved in politics because they don't know it's I don't know. But once they learned ain't doing a gangsterism and you know what, all you can
do politics in the hood, then you can do. You just got to educate yourself on certain terminology and certain things that that's the same thing. If people saw are sisters up today, come from from the mud to now trying and doing shit. It's a big statement. I was I was telling you about Cynthia. Oh yeah, that's my boot. There's so many women out of here, such as yourself, mama Boot. That's that's ready for change. We gotta get
them all together and then just go. Man, that's what we need to do, because like I said, they're the backbone of our communities. The black woman is the backbone of the neighborhood. And they go through so much stuff. It's like you got so many strong women, like you know, you see women they get and they keep a smile on their face, but they don't lost kids, yeah, you know, lost loved ones and it's just been a life of losses. But they still they're strong and now they're taking care
of grand kids and stuff like that. Y'all go through a lot of ship. Yeah, it's a lot of ship. And the only way the world, the world almost is constantly disrespecting the black mam. No, it ain't the world, man, Come on, that's that's the We disrespectus. Petus like someone sisters disrespect us, and I can I can go from from point A to point B. Sister the parliament. If I ain't working, we had this conversation yesterday. If I ain't working and they can't pay that bill, she ain't
gonna lift me up. She ain't gonna say I got it babe. This month, she's gonna get your sorry. As something that's talk, that's that that goes back to the grand The grandmother does something no grandmother was was hallever. Grandmama's just died too early. Now when these kids now nowadays, your grandmama at forty three, forty five years old. You know what I'm saying. So it's it's totally different. Let's just say we heard ourselves, and we gotta stop blaming
motherfucking everybody else. We got to stop blaming the slaves and ship. I ain't no motherfucker because we do words. Games fixed that ship. Since I don't get older even the music and I come from the music industry, you know, you know every other word we call our bitches, holes and stuff. I don't. And the females we out there
loving it. And it pissed me off. When I walked down the street and I see some young girls walking and they called each other a big short big and it's kind of like like I had to ask these girls one day, why are y'all disrespecting each other? Like that? You just look at and it looked at me and they laugh. H you know whatever. But no, it ain't about being over. We gotta start respecting ourselves before we If we expect the rest of the world to respect
us as people, we gotta start respecting ourselves. Yeah, anything, I think the start of it is for people to educate themselves. That would be the start of it. Because if you start looking at all these holidays that everybody just sold just geared up to to celebrate, if you look at what it founded on and what years did it start, Like where were we ask people at that time? If you start to understand that, you're starting to stand these holidays are not for us. We have specific holidays.
But my thing is, you've see all the Christmas and all of this, and the Fourth of July and all of this, everybody out the outfits or whatever. But when Mark Luther King Day come around, it's like you you may see a post here and there, won't you get your kids all geared up for Marl Luke King. We actually seen that he actually did exist. We actually have video and his wife and him, his kids, his kids
still alive, like he actually exists. But y'all, I'm not gonna put that much effort into celebrating him as you would a Santa Claus. Okay, exactly, So what's your examit for when you win this post, when you win this position, what is your first plan of action? My first plan of action is to bring more awareness to my community, um as well as get more youth centers open, you know, because like it's a lot of part the recreations they've been closed for a long time, so I'm pushing that
to get that open. These kids need something to do opposed to being stuck. And then you got COVID so they're not going to school. So it's just a lot of boat up energy from these kids that they need to be able to exercise. Play cames. You know, we used to play cames. They don't even know about cameras. The girls don't even know about Devil Dutch. You know. It's just a lot that has been taken from them
based off these falls. So my main focus is the kids to get recreations centers open as well as start to um implement different activities for the elders. You know, you got grandma and grandpa sitting at home all day with nothing to do. I don't know, gets zoom going. My thing is a look out for them because like I said, I've been working with elders with all times in Demensia for fifteen years. So that's the area that
I know how to work with the elders with. And another thing is get some of these um these counseling facilities within the area open and running, like people need somewhere to go to vent and get something back from it. Some resources funding in the neighborhood. You got these parts that I really don't have too many young boys playing football because the parents can't pay for it. We need to start funding at least like ten of these kids, because you have real good kids that's in a in
a neighborhood that that's good as sports. They are active kids, but they mama preferred to not put them in sports because of money issues or whatever issues. So we need to we need to see what's going on with these elders and these kids. Too important, too important units in the community for sure. And let me ask you this and This is what I asked everybody on every show.
What would you say to the thirteen through sixteen year old girl that's at home, that may be in Compton right now, that may be in Kansas City, Missouri, maybe in Chicago, Illinois of Brooklyn going through the same stuff that you went through. They want to make a change, you want to do better. What what advice would you
give them right now? I would give them the advice that it's someone out there that's talking to you that you're not listening to, because I have people like teachers and different stuff that wanted to talk to me, but I was stuck in my head with game banging or whatever the case may be. I would say for them to under the figure out what do they eat, sleep and breathe every day? Do you like to sing? Do you like the wrap? Do you like the right? Do
you like to read? Do you like to dance? Whatever it is that you do, let that be what you do. Do not let nobody else tell you that what you're doing is dumb or you shouldn't do that. That would be my main thing. Whatever it is you want to do, do it and stay focused and get as much information as you can on it. She sounds like a counselate. The lady we talked to that same exact same thing she said, exactly, find something you're into, find something that
you like doing that sky is the limit on. I got a cold question for you, being a single mom raising two boys and a daughter. What do you tell your sons? What's the key things that you tell your son not to do? My key thing that I tell my sons is don't follow nobody. Follow your own head. That's what God gave you a brain for. Be who you are. That's what the key thing I tell them, And go do your damn homework. M That's it right there. You can't know how can people find you to support you?
What can people go see your exenda if they want to get that Mama Booth. Somebody out there listening. We got a few people to listen to this show, and they want to get in contact books you and they want to you know what I'm saying. They want to hilight you, not like you know I'm talk They want to support your movement. How can they get that? They can get at me? My I g is Mama boo one three two m O m A b O one three two or my YouTube channel. Mama Boo boo m O m A B double o B double o. Yall

You got a motorcycle club too, Yes, what's name of the motorcycle club? No? Anti venom? No anti venom. That's a hard right there, that's a hard talked about it. So you actually ride the yes, So don't let me ask you this though, this one I always want to know
because me and shames. You know, we got some stuff going on right now with another show that we're doing. I'm talk about a little bit later on to break that news. I don't want to chinx it. But so let's say you meet to dude and you ride your bike. You look your man right in the back of your bike down. I'm just asking so that would never happen. No, that's dumb because I saw a duke right in the back of the bike with a girl before. He's about the sorry cat right now, I'm I let my my
youngest right with me now. He's getting a little taller, but he loved riding with me. But other than that, don't let me ask you this. I got to ask you this because you know you're about to be a future city councilwoman and all this. You've got all this incredible stuff going on. What kind of guy? Because I know you said you don't think about no dudes right now, But what kind of guy is Mama but looking for?
Because I'm gonna tell y'all right now, she ain't in the play with so don'na be coming to her DM What kind of what qualified? Just like anyway, what kind of man qualifies to call himself mama booze? Man? Oh, I don't give out cheat sheets. They got to figure it out. Yeah, because if you tell us somebody I'm looking for x y Z, they're gonna be x y Z and today take a minute until they take the Yeah, let me tell you what they gotta do for number
one day. Y'all gotta look at their sons and then go to their sons and say, man, can I date your mama? Your mama's a cute woman. I want to be friends with your mother. I mean, that's just respecting the home front, you know what I'm saying. We don't know if I was a single man and getting the one with kids. I would definitely talk the son first, because boys are very protective for their mama. Boys are super protect one of sons from baby mama's from from friends.
Women I've been with for seven years, women I've been with for five years, and their kids still call me pops. A matter of fact, my birthday Saturday before last, one of one of my ex her daughter, Toya. That's my baby. She she made a picture for me with my brother and my mom's So you know, I still a little more on the death. So it is what it is. But get at the sun and then maybe you got a that mama, I can't be you can't come with
that crazy ship because you know that should beat you up. Yeah, she looked like and I just like, now, I just don't play with people at oh, I have no toylerance or man with nobody. So a guy that don't come from the back, mus I know you probably don't like no square as dudes. I'm not telling you anything to that I don't give out cheese. She didn't give no cheese or nothing, because it might be the perfect dude out there thinking like I really like her, and he
got a job. He got this stuff going on, he good man, So you ain't gonna give no hints something. He just gotta figure it out. He shouldn't h if he if he, if he listened to hook me up. I got the cheat sheet right now. All you gotta do money is being man. When you when you were approach, all you got to do is say I heard your voice on you know, against the chronicles, and wo man, I would love to just take you off for a five minutes of a conversation. That five minutes turns into
twenty that the next time we chalk is thirty. You just gotta have conversations, No nonsense. I do not play with people at all. I don't have time to play with people. That's right. I have things to do and kids to look after and all that plan. I'm not playing no games. I don't have no baggage that's coming with me that's gonna jump out and start playing. I don't have none of that. I'm like, good to go when everybody get ready to go. We applied you on
being a good mother. I applied you on coming from where you started to where you're at now and and raising three good kids, all of us are not blessed. All of us are not blessed. Exactly exactly. I know. One of the things that I I want to let you know is that you do have a support system here better. I don't know if we're the biggest show in the world, but we got some you know, we've got some people that listen to us and stuff. So we definitely go be helping you push your extenda. This
ain't the one time thing. We don't look just anybody coming sit in these seats and here with us. We don't. We don't do that because I'm gonna tell you, these two niggas right here is hard on people. I tell they they asked me who the fund is that? So if some of y'all, y'all everybody called me all the time, who who the hell is that? And if somebody they want they usually hitting me and say holler this, probably they wanted to get somebody on the show with your
show just like mine. They say no, because you made sure you called Mama Book. I said, yes, I did. I'm gonna make sure sure I don't want no beef with Mama Bo. Right, I'm on my team, my team, and when we really appreciate you coming on with us today. Thank you. I appreciate being I'll just appreciate the opportunities. And I'm gonna tell you all right now, y'all go see you in the video. She has a very nice smile, but you could tell she's not bullsh and your mama
hard ain't she your mama? What that asked before? When your times are right, that's what it is, and that's why you give your man right now? Why you good man right now? So thank you. And I wanted to say for you guys that no nonprofits in your area. To support your nonprofit because I don't know what you'll be thinking. I don't know if you think the food
and picking up the food just falls out the sky. Uh, support your local nonprofit because right now, like I say, I'm getting it out the mud and I'm feeding the homeless within my community. But you'll have to understand this is coming out of my pocket, which I'm not saying that a negative because I'm going to do it. I'm getting it out the mud and feed my community. At the same range, what's of your nonprofit? To live your life? Live your life, y'all support this sister right here, that's
one thing. And I always tell people every show, we can't sit up all the time, and you know, wine and cry for change, and then when somebody comes and tries to present that change to us, we turn a blind eye to it and we give each other the hardest time. Sometimes. Whenever you see a brother and sister that got a nonprofit, you're the people all. I ain't giving no money. I don't know what they're doing with it.
Don't worry about it, because y'all want to spend money on plenty of dumb ship and yeah, and if any nonprofit that's actually doing something, believe that majority of that money is coming out of their pockets, eat leave that now unless they didn't hit it big and got a huge sponsor for the most part. No different than with Cynthia None. I was over there with her and shout out to my girls sent but with me watching her, majority of that was coming out of her pocket from
the easter baskets and everything. So you guys have this misperception at It's just like we have donors and people donating or whatever. No, right now, I am getting out the mundy and I'm still passing out these hygiene products every other week, and I already know because I had a youth football program me and my wife did. I can't just say me because it was people to help me run it. Me and my wife Rest in peace
to my homeboy, Big Bruce from Compton. But a lot of that was coming out in my pocket, you know, the uniform kids. Because it's expensive to run of youth football program. It's expensive to even to run a basketball programs. You've got kids that don't have parents. So you wind up becoming a sere mother and father. Because if I had kids on my team and we in Vegas and they can't eat, I'm not gonna let you start. I
ain't gona go for my kids. So it's like, come on, I would train my kids like, hey, today when we go to this McDonald's, I don't need you ordering the double corter pounders and shipped now. I can't get you that you order this right here in the You know what I mean? You know, because I got a story really before we go. I always believe in taking some of the younger kids and the team, you know, the little young black a Mexican kids on the team, taking
the place they ain't been before. I wanted to learn how to use the property, learn how to use civil wear and stuff like that, because some of them have never been to a restaurant before, not a real restaurant like McDonalds and tackle Bill, not a restaurant. I took this one kid for a restaurant one day, right and uh, they asked me if you wanted sparkling and steal water, and I wouldn't paying attention to it. This dude said sparkling.
So they studied coming out to the table. Point is water out the bottle and stuff and I'm kind of looking. I get the bill in my of here two day one, I said, man, don't order a damn thing. And I've told myself to work with this partner. I said, you didn't charge some twohunther dollars some water. We could have bought some champagneers of ship, you know what I mean. And so Mama Blue, I appreciate you. What you're doing is very very important for our community. But I'm doing
it because I want to do it. This is what I want to do. I want to help my community. Is like my biggest thing is to be to someone that I needed to be to me. So that's where I met with these young girls like all this twerking and thinking that you have to sell your body and dealing with all these different men and not getting the
appropriate education. That is not where it's at because I mean, with all the game banging that I did, I mean, what's the what's the most I'm gonna get out of I'm not gonna get retirement or pension, so I'm get a big funeral. But in between what what am I really gaining out of that? Exactly? And you know, one thing I want to tell you all young people out there is HIV and AIDS to steal out there. Yeah, so be careful, strap up, strap up. And that's it.
I'm done with enough preaching right now. We'd like to thank you guys for tuning in with us, sitting in with us again. Thank our lovely guest, Mama Boom. We appreciate you falling through. You know what I'm saying. Make sure y'all tapped back in with us. Next week we'll be back with more of this good ship we got here. Those he's rushing by that, podcasting every word
