Justice For Breonna Taylor: 3 Years Later

going on. I was just reading something this morning about the amount of people dying by fentonol like but not not like um fentonol what do you call it, Like where they are um accidentally being poisoned, like you know, like like like like you know how sometimes they make drugs and they put things in it so you don't know what you're taking. But these are people who are intentionally using fentanol. And I'm just like, Yeah, the world is a little weird. It's weird, but that is the

fact that they're looking for. That's like heroin in the eighties, especially in the eighties, like I told you before, people wanted to try the heroine that kill people. Like if they say, yo, these people odd on it, they'd be like, where are they going to find that bad? Because there's a level of high that a drug addict is trying to reach. They're trying to reach the level of high right before death, like they want they want it's the weirdest shit in the world. They don't want to die.

They want to experience this level of how that reaches this level of euphoria that that completely controls them to where they almost die but they don't. Yeah. But then the question that I have about that, right is, I mean, did a lot of people die on heroin? I can't remember. Hell yeah, a lot of people the way that they're dying with fence at all. I don't know if the numbers are the same, but I know there was a lot of heroin addicts that od That was one of

the biggest things. Most of them were old. It's very, very, very strange. And it's not one race or like like like uh, it's not in silos or subjective for like one community or one group of people. It's like a wide ranging problem. It's very it's just very strange. So I but you know, I'm never, you know, engaged, so I don't know with the the feeling is or the thrillers. I mean, I get it, obviously, group they don't. I

an't mean to cut you up, but I know this. This, this is what skied me when they said the urge for drugs for crack or some of these us even heroin, was a hundred times the urge for sex. I said, I don't want it. He was freaking. I'm just telling you that something is a hundred times the urge for sex. You are nuts. I don't want nothing to do with something like that. That ain't for me. I'm gonna listen,

I'm gonna be the biggest attic in the world. I'm never I'm staying far away from that ship as possible. I mean, listen. I have used drugs. I don't know if it ever ever tampered with my urge for sex, but I do know that you are always, which is why I went from taking a half a pill to taking five pills each time, Because as time goes on and your body gets used to the drug, you're looking

for an original feeling. So I get that, but I'm saying that the fencing all specifically it's killing people left and right, like fencing as just knocking people down. I don't remember if Heroin killed a lot of people. I mean, I'm sure it did, but I mean I don't anyway,

it just seems but everything is weird. Everything is weird. So, speaking of weird things, I wanted to talk about blue Face and Christian you know, Chrishan, I'm sorry I posted and a truly I was looking at the young lady the other day and she's really just a pretty little

a pretty young girl. And I posted a few weeks ago that the show that they have on some TV I don't even know the name of the TV network, whatever, the TV network is a black man owns it and they have this show, and it is to me, it's like it should be banned from TV. The craziness that

goes on between these two very young people. I don't think it should be exploited by them or anyone else, because it actually shows a lot of mental health issues, a lot of self esteem issues, mental health issues, like you put it all under one umbrella and it really is not a good look at all. I get that all reality TV has an element of the fighting and the carrying on and all the things that we see.

But to me, it just feels so inappropriate for these two very very young people to be, you know, on TV displaying, you know, going to counseling, drinking liquor. I know for sure that that is not something that's supposed to happen. Like I get that a therapist may come and meet you where you are in the midst of all your challenges, but it's also very TV that you could go to a therapist or a psychiatrist's office and

drink out of a bottle in Hennessey. So when I saw that, I was like, I just I just want to know, is this supposed to be funny? And I posted it and of course a lot of people said no. And actually it gets deeper at a bunch of people DM and me telling me more about real stories of abuse. Some people were trying to say they thought it was just for TV, but it's become clear that it's not.

And then it's the young man, God bless him, he has a mom and the mom has drama, and it's just so much drama that's going on with this one family. So then this week I saw that the young girl is pregnant, which bless God, bless the Lord, like God, bless like. I was not even in this type the type of shape that they're in, but it was pretty bad and it was not a good time for me to even have a child. So I can only imagine that this is like wow, but you know whatever, Bless

their herd. But I noticed that she said something about getting an abortion, and then he said do it, which you know, young people back and forth on the internet. But since then, and he made another statement, which is that he wanted to he's going to continue to push the issue until she gets an abortion. Do you think there's anybody around that's letting blue face know that bullying a woman into an abortion is actually not cool, Like that's not like you, that's not something that you write

on social media or anywhere else. Like that's actually bullying somebody into making a decision with their body. And it's not it's not okay. You know, I've been watching it. It's very toxic to me just watching the way they deal with each other. You know, the way that media, social media and everybody else is exploiting these people's dysfunction. That's what it is. And you know, and you tell young kids that they can make money, even at their

own demands. They're gonna do it. That's and people will say, oh, well, they're making a choice. In a lot of times, when you make a choice, choices are based on option, right, So when you give people very little options and people come from nothing, you could you look at both of them, like even Blue Face they got with When you look at Kashan's she's been through so she's been through hell when you look at her family life and everything she's

going through. So you give an opportunity to where she's making thousands and hundreds thousands of dollars, even if it's at the demands, I mean, even if it's at the extent and you know, to her detriment, she doesn't care.

You know, So whoever's around him, you know, I know some people that's around Blue Face, So you know, I would say, man, you know, they got to be a little bit of goddance, Like it's grown adult people like and I'm not saying I don't know what you're saying, and he's still a grown man, but I do think that there has to be a better guidance and understanding of what's going on. And as far as what you just said, you know, I don't know what they say to her. I hope he understands ends what he's doing.

I hope he understands that trying to bully a woman into an abortion is not cool because you you you you consciously you've been with this woman. It's a woman that you've been claiming that you've been with and you made a baby with her. You know what I'm saying, so stressing, I wouldn't doing things mentally to de short like that's not that's not grown man shit. It's actually coward coward cultures. And you know, I don't know blue Face, but I know that that statement alone is not some

shit that a man should be happy saying. Yeah. I mean, I just I just feel like as young people, I am trying to be much more understanding of young people, because as I have, as I'm getting older, I see so much that's like completely ridiculous, like just I can't believe it's happening. And then I have to put myself back at the time when there were people who couldn't believe I was doing some of the things that I was.

So I have to constantly remind myself of that so that I don't get so far detached from the realities of what we're dealing with today and what young people go through and how society creates, you know, different things that become the norm and some things that make you cool and all of that. And adults like the black man I forgot his name. If I could remember, trust me, I would definitely say it, but I don't, but I'm

probably gonna get it before we finish. But you know, these people who are exploiting young folks because this happens, right, it happens. I was watching a long order episode, same thing, exploiting young people for their own purposes, whatever their issues may have been. This particular time, it was the LGBTQIA community and older people exploiting younger people for the purpose of making a point, right, and then messed up these kids heads and messed up their emotions. Same thing here.

TV guy wants to, you know, make it big in TV and have a big show or a big network. He exploits these two young people, as you said, their dysfunction. We as a people, especially as black people, should be like, we're not even putting this, We're not even putting this on TV. Think about it. I don't mean to cut off. But it started with like Bobby and Whitney, right, people people think they were big grown people. They was big people.

Bobby and Whitney was big people, I guess, but they still these are still grown people there, but I mean big people different, it's different. It was it was exploiting dysfunction. They knew those people and when you watched, because you knew that they were high and they were gonna do shit that didn't even make sense, and you wanted to see that and you liked the love. And sometimes it was dysfunction. Sometimes they cuts each other out and people enjoyed it and this is this is the this is

the new version of that. But it was big people, right, But to you it was big people. They were big people. I mean these were grown These are still growing people, you know, so I hear you. But we've we've celebrated and exploited I would detriment since the beginning, since we was able to do it because and you know, we come from poverty, We come through from a lot of

different situations. So a lot of people come into this, you know, this industry or whatever, and they allow themselves to be exploited because they don't want to go back to being broke. You know, hopefully somebody that's listening today, we'll let the young man know that publicly or otherwise, but certainly publicly, bullying a woman into having an abortion is wrong. It's wrong, it's inappropriate, and it's just something that we shouldn't be like, oh, you know, well, I

get it because they're young. No, somebody needs to actually tell him that. So that's that. Let's see what else, what else is going on in this world? So I know, a couple of weeks go or last week, it was announced that Tyler Perry and Byron Allen are attempting to purchase the majority stake in BEET. Now Puff has joined the ranks of those who are trying to buy I guess more than fifty one percent of the company, so

that b ET will be black owned again. Now it's not clear to me whether they're all in talks about potentially coming together or if each individual person is intending to buy the company. And so therefore there will be competition, which, by the way, either way it works for me right

like I think, because you need competition. White folks battle one another for businesses all the time, and it doesn't make them hate one another because they could be owning something together over here, having dinner together over here, and still bidding over there for some other business because they're keeping it. They're keeping it the competitive nature of it all, and keeping it in the family, if you will. That's what they do. They go to one another and say, hey,

you should bid. I'm gonna bid, and you bid, and one of the three of us is gonna get it, which means we all still got it, so I can work with that, or which would be great if the three of them were working together to get it. I personally know you know, we know Puff and I want to see him be able to do this because I know from the work that he's put in a Revolte which, by the way, Revolte while it is, you know, it is a very important news source and especially culturally, it

has a very important cultural space. A shout out to the family over at revolt. It still is not a mainstream b ET network. It is not the same so I heard people BT has been here for decades, so exactly so revote, I don't even think vote is ten years old, and revokes again it's still it's not the it is not the brand, nor is it a network that is like Beet. So what Beet can do? The shows, the content, all of that. It's a completely different level.

And you know, people don't really know what they be talking about sometimes because I saw people like, what doesn't he own Revote? Why can't he just put more into that? Yes you can. It's like saying Byron Allen, it's not gonna go well, at least I don't think he's gonna go dump the Grio, right, He's going to build up

his media portfolio. Right. Why do we don't ask Rupert Murdock and all of these white people that own massive media entities, why they don't dump some of their smaller businesses or stay small instead of being able to play on a big level. Why do we have to ask them to do that? No, you should be able to have Revote and Beet and something else and something else.

Like that's just what it is. So I support Puff, you know, and and I hope that he's able to get this done because we know his Like I'm actually on a text thread where Puff is on there every so often, Like I'm looking for the best and the brightest to help build what is next for us as black people in terms of black ownership, right, And I'm sure the others Tyler Perry and Byron Allen are thinking

the same way. It's like, what can we do to build the next level of black dopeness, telling our own stories, having our own narrative shaped by us and told by us. So I support him one hundred one hundred hundred thousand, million, trillion percent. No, I definitely support. I support to move in general. You know, black ownership is the key to our liberation. You know, we don't own any thing like perfect. I remember him making a statement like, you know, we

don't own nothing. We do on all the ship, but we don't own nothing. So we have to have ownership. And what's what's better than BT, you know, it's it's been the black entertainment, you know, TV for since the beginning of time. So to get that ownership back and then continue, like you said, to purchase multi multi media media controls the world like I see them. Post Media controls how you think, It controls what you see, It creates a narrative, It creates the culture, It dictates the trends.

Media controls everything. People live their life by what they see in the media. They don't know the information that we get about, everything that we don't read about comes from media. You know. It's that he who controls the media controls the people. And that's why we've been controlled by you know, other people for so long, because they control what we see and they control what the media is.

So if we start controlling our media and start controlling the media, then we can put our perspectives, we can put our dream, we can put all the things that we need into our society, man, and we'll have a large enough voice, a strong enough voice to be heard and have the opportunities that everybody else has. So I'm all for the brothers can come together, that be dope.

But if not, if one of them get it, I have faith that any one of them, or any two of them, you know, together, any combination, any any combode they got, you put that together, you know, we're gonna have some black excidence, right and you know, listen, maybe we can stop the oscars and all of this bullshit where they snubbing our people. We know what happened with Viola Davis not getting an oscar for a woman king

is disgusting, deplorable, ridiculous. Then you have our dear sister, our beautiful sister, Angela Bassett sit there and be disrespected as far as I'm concerned, in the room. And then white people, white women particularly, had the audacity to go online talking about, oh, why didn't Angela Bassett act more graceful and she should have done this, and she should have smiled, and she should have had stood up to clap in the middle of what she knew was a

moment that she deserved. She's supposed to just hide her feelings. And see, that's what they think about black people, especially black women. We are not supposed to have feelings at all. We'res I can't even say black people because as I'm saying it, I mean black women, because as I'm saying it, I'm thinking about y'all as black men. You're not supposed

to have any feelings. You're supposed to just be cool with whatever people give you and be nice and smile about it because and they don't even know that part of that mentality comes from enslavement, where you were beaten by master, and then you still had to smile or

do whatever Master said. You still had to go in the kitchen and cook and come out and say yes, master, and show it and display yourself as being happy about the abuse, the beating, the disrespect, and people still have that expectation of us today and they don't even know where it comes from. It's like sometimes when we think about and it brings me right to my next topic.

But sometimes even with our own children, there's things that they do, and it's times when you have to remember, my mom would have to pull my coattail and say to me, hey, that attitude you have or those or just you know, the mindset that you have, it comes from a place. Let me tell you about Auntie someone so, or Grandma such and such or whatever. Stories of our history and how things are passed down through a bloodline.

Sometimes what you hear in the it's what you see and hear in your peripheral things going on around you when you're growing up, and you don't even know that you're tapping into that and still using those those unfortunate or still using that unfortunate ideology and moments on people who've been oppressed. So you know, I just know she didn't have to smile. They better be when they say

she wasn't graceful. The grace was that she didn't cut you out of the fun out Listen, man, people tie of y'all playing with us, smith y'all playing in these people's face. That lady know what she did. Everybody knew what she did, you know, and and it was it's

just it's just like a disgrace. And she still hasn't got the oscar Like that is just crazy to me when you look at the actress, the caliber and the level of what she's done throughout her career, you know, and and it goes to show and it's not about racist. I think that it's it's I think that the Oscars, you know, is culturally deaf right to our culture. You know, the things that matter to us, the stories that matter to us, the storylines that matter to us. Sometimes I like,

because I do, I do homework, right. A lot of times it be movies and artists who win Oscars that I don't know of, movies that I've never seen, And I say, and when they were the best actress or this and that, I said, let me go look at this movie because I just want to see what they did in this movie. Right, And then I look and

I'd be, okay that the performance is good. I'm not mad at the performance, but the storyline and all of the ship that they talk about, I can't I have no understanding or I can't relate to it at all. It is not has nothing to do with my reality, has nothing to do with just the culture that I come from. So what happens is when you have people on this committee that that's what they relate to, that's their culture, that's their storyline, that's the ship that they

identified with. When you show them Women King, when you show them, you know, contrafact, when you show them these movies, it's to them it's foreign, you know, like they don't they don't really, they don't understand its significance. They don't understand what the actress or actor is actually doing because the storyline and all of it doesn't It doesn't appeal

to them. So we have to have awards and ceremonies to where we have people who identify with our culture, who identify with our soul, who identify with our reality, to be the judges of these things. So we're gonna keep having these same conversations. We're gonna keep losing to white actors and white actresses that do storylines and shit

that pertains to the people who's own a committee that's picking. Well, I want to push back on one thing that you said, because I don't know if you know, but there was an article on a pretty reputable from from a pretty reputable source where they claim that they were able to get and off the record conversation with one of the

people who votes as an Oscar voter. So you know, those people are anonymous and it's supposed to be that way, so that you know, you can't contact them and try to pressure them into voting for you and whatever, right or because of a decision, they faced scrutiny, so on and so forth. Well, the thing that I found that I found interesting when you said they don't know our culture,

they don't necessarily appreciate or understand what we're doing. Actually, this person in his statement and they say his, they use the word his, he says, you know, stop whining, stop crying about it, that if you didn't win, it's because it wasn't good, we didn't like it, and that's why you didn't win, and went on to talk about the culture and how he's tired of wote culture. So

to me, well, that's that's that's an attack on. What I'm trying to say is that's an attack on our coach that even if it's a person that's from the coacher who doesn't IDENTI far what the culture. I'm not saying that he's from our culture. I'm saying that he's more than likely racist. That's what I'm saying. It's not that they don't understand. It's that they have been a conscious decision in performances. You will not get oscars. Didn't they say Holly Berry got one for uh, make me

feel good? What was that Monster's Ball when she was you know, very I mean she was very sexual. I loved her performance and Monster's Ball, so I wouldn't take anything away from it. But there are other films that she's played, and we know when Hollyberry hit the scene, she need an oscar every time. There's not a time that Viola, uh, Angela Bassett, Holly Berry. Who else do we have here? I mean the list goes on. Who else? This other women? Um, I'm trying to Monique Um, Jada Jada.

I put Whoopee in there too, Whoopee too, definitely, Oprah Oprah Um. It's probably so many others its people hit the screen when they decide that there the other lady that played in The Help, what's her name? Oh boy? Um no, that was It was Viola when that played with her, the one that fed the lead. Oh my god, I don't know her name. Would listen, We're gonna look it up and I'm gonna look up the two things that you let me see. What's her name? Tim? Yes,

because she's amazing, She's always amazing. That's my girl. That's my girl. She follows me and actually she participates in the content. To Octavia Spencer. When these women hit the screen, when they get that, well, I want to say something real quick. Everybody do commented on my post today, So I feel like you said that that was her quote, So shout out to Erica like she's one of my favorite artists in the world. So that's still that's dope.

Like these are women. They need oscars. If they gave us, if they gave us as we deserve, what we deserved, the show would just be And I'm not listening taking that from nobody because Jamie Lee Curtis is bad. Now you didn't get ready, I'm not taking up from Jamie Lee. I just don't think I didn't you know what. What I'm gonna say is this, I do not think me Mesy is a great actress like you gotta watch I don't know if you watch a lot of her stuff. Still, I mean it's it's listen. There are a few of

them that there are a lot of us. Oh what's the scandal? Oh um, Kerry Washington. If they gave us I would do the whole it would always be that black people would be winning everything. So you know, so I'm just saying that that man when he spoke, and let me know that even if he thought the performance was incredible, he ain't trying to give us none. Anyway,

Let's move on to my thought of the day. I see people in my common section since I've been posting about Puff saying that, oh, you know, he doesn't know how to manage anything. Look what he did to Mace and this one and that one, and we recognize that

something's happening. I nobody is. Listen, if you go back in my history, if you go back in your history, you go back, and anybody, especially people who are bosses and people who run businesses and whatever, for the most part, there is a period and error where they made some really bad decisions, and they did some really fucked up things to people. That's a fact. But the question that we have to ask is how long do we hold it?

How long? How long does it carry over? And you know, and just how long I don't know, So anyway, that's up for another day's debate. But for my a thought of the day today, I wanted to talk about Newark, New Jersey, which, by the way, I just love how black blackety black black. Rossparocca, our mayor in Newark, gotta live there, but I still claim him and the entire team Kesha Yury, our sister Kylelisia. Is so many super black people in Newark that are running that that city,

that town. They said when they got elected they were gonna be black like they always have been. People need to check Rosscarocca's background, his parents, his family, where he comes from, his lineage. This is not new to him. Need to just come mayor and just all of a sudden get black. This man has always and and and there is a different you know, yes you could be black, but there's there's blackety black, and Rossparoca, mayor Baracca is blackety black. So they took down the statue of of

Christopher Columbus, and they put up Harriet Tubman. So I went online and clicked in the comments because I got me some popcorn as soon as I saw it out, So let me give me some popcorn. And getting these comments, and I got in my bed, put my first socks on and started flicking my toes because I already knew that people from all over the country, white folks particularly and some of our ignorant asked people, we're gonna lose

their mind about taking down old Christopher boy. And it really is crazy that white people especially have the gall have the gall upset about Christopher Columbus being held and uplifted the colonizing the he's the face of a colonize brother. We were there first of all. I already my parents ain't never if they even hurt. If I had to write a report about Christopher Columbus in school, my parents would say no, they would go speak to right. And I believe my sister still does that for my niece.

We do not at all acknowledge Christopher Columbus. The only time we acknowledge him is to talk about his enslavement of Native American people, him being a colonizer, as you said, his relationship with the Portuguese who happened to be the first colonizers of the African people. And by the way, just so that people who are out there like, oh, I don't know this, and that let's be clear, Christopher Columbus did not. He did not. We already know he

didn't discover America. But he didn't even get here by himself. He had Africans who had already been traveling to America on the ship with him, and they helped him to navigate his way. That's how he down the Americas because he was with Africans who had already been here and had been sailing back and forth from Africa to the to the America's okay, So he did nothing. He literally did nothing. He went and stopped along the route right

between Africa and America. He stopped along the route and met with different kings and queens and broker deals to bring more enslaved people to those particular uh whatever they

want to be, those colonizes. That's what he did. And when they found out that the and I hope I'm saying it right, the Tyino, the Tino people were unable to deal with the heat, and you know, because of the skin of their skin, could not deal with the heat and the m and the Yeah, they couldn't stay outside in the sun right because their skin was not it wasn't appropriate. You know, you get red skin and all of that. We know about Native Americans. The skin

is a very delicate thing. So when they were not, they could not perform a particular task, which was staying out in the fields the way that they wanted them to, because that's all they wanted. They wanted bodies to go out in the fields and do sharecropping and then ultimately build buildings and do all the things to create the world that they wanted, which they couldn't do for them damnselves. So they wanted to put other people to work. They could not use this particular group of people, so his

idea failed. And then then they started looking at Africans, and that's how African people were chosen as the second best or strongest or whatever to become enslaved. Like people really need to understand. And I'm sure the way that I'm telling it, it's probably so many other details and I'm not saying it exactly as a historian would tell it. But that's the essence of the story. Christopher Gammas didn't do shit, so you know what, they need to take his ass down, him and Robert Eaton and all of

these statues across this country and somebody's damn plate. Who I was getting ready to say something that was gonna get me in so much trouble. Who I was tell the truth, shame the devil. I was getting ready to say some things about the American flag. But we ain't gonna do that today. I'm just saying, damn, Christopher Columbus. Don't even just take it down. They should blow it.

They should blow it up like you know how when they blow up the buildings to do demolition and you see it, and you you know how they do demolition and they blow up the buildings and you see it come down like that. That should be christ Love. This should be that they should have the rocks, the pieces of it. Just drop it from the highest building high like get the hell out of here, somebody just dropping from the highest buildings. But you know what, no, because

they're not at the highest place. They're sitting in the middle of squares in this country where you can actually go up and touch and feel it and kids run around it and they see it and guess what. They shouldn't blow it up because the residue from all of the particles that would come into our system in our communities would probably kill us. That's how poisonous Christopher Columbus is.

Fuck the well. Listen, they put up Harriet Tubman. Though you have Tubman's man, I've been waiting for my my tubmans. Them tubmans didn't never come out. Man, these were man. Let's bring our guests on today because we got to talk about injustice in America, which is which is America every week. Unfortunately, we don't do a show that's gonna just be all positive. This is everything positive that's going on the Positi. So speaking of American history, this young

man has become a part of American history. Unfortunately. You know, the story is one that is tragic, very very tragic. But it's also a story I feel like it's not told enough. And you know, because this week is the week that Brianna Taylor was killed three years ago. Now, time is just I don't even know what to say about time. It's going by so fast. But it's been three years that Brianna Taylor was killed. And we talk about Brianna every day. I mean every day of my life.

I say it, think about it, look at a post, read a thing, talk to her mother, Mona, to her sister and what Jania is doing something, talk to the lawyers, attorney Lanita Baker, somehow or another. I am in touch with our love, passion and fight for Brianna Taylor literally every single day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year since the day we met. But we don't talk about the other side of the

story enough. And I thought that this week it would be a great addition to the Street Politicians podcasts and to what we do here to talk with Kenny Walker about his experience and how he's doing. Three days later, so let's welcome our brother. He's like we see Kenny all the time. If any family of Ken Kenny Walker fiance and was soon to be baby daddy to Brianna Taylor. Thank you for joining us on Street Politicians today. Thanks for having me. I'm excited. Kenny. Have you been on

the show before? No, I have not. First, I felt like he was up here before. I stayed behind the scenes most of the time. I got a bunch of good people like y'all, I can you know, speak up for me the way I needed to happen or listen what we wanted to say. Thank you, and we welcome you to our show. You know you are like you said, we were family, you know, unfortunately we became family at a very traumatic and tragic time in your life. And

just want to know, like, how have you been? How have you been coping this three years since the night you know and you actually were engaged and actually right there in that situation, like, so how is it? How are you feeling? You know, how are you moving forward? I know it's hard, but how are you doing these days? Well? Honestly, I mean it's it's kind of like, especially for me, it's a little bit of what Smika just said, like I deal with it every day and you know what

I'm saying. So it doesn't have to be the um I don't even want to say special because it's not a special week, but the the same week as as you know, this tragic event occurred. Like, it doesn't have to be March thirteenth for me to feel some type of way or for me to be sad, or for me to think of bad Bree. You know, it's it's every day and continuous and ongoing struggle, you know for me.

Like so, I've definitely came a long way, you know, um since things have happened, but it's it's still tough, you know, just like she said, you have to, you know, if nothing else, I get on the internet and now I see a picture of her, or I see you know, somebody saying her name or whatever it may be. And no doubt I appreciate that. I love to see that, you know, and I'm I'm happy and I'm glad that people show so much love and compassion, you know, for

for Brianna and our situation. But it's it's just tough. It's just tough. I can only imagine, man, you know. So it's been three years. You know, what what have you been doing too, you know, to move forward or try to keep you know, we're still fighting for justice for Brianna every day, so I know that's part thing. So what have you been doing for the last you know, three years? What have you been trying to do? Really?

Day by day just trying to get my mind together, you know, I'm kind of just now getting into a space of you know where where I see some type of positivity, you know, and some type of good in the future, you know, like especially with um, you know, how these officers are being prosecuted right now and stuff that definitely know, that definitely made me feel a little better.

But also that's bitter sweet because I mean it's actually like a smack in the face because all this time I've been saying all these things and then all of a sudden, you know, it's like, hey, Kenny, are right, we was wrong. You was right, We're sorry. But that's kind of just it. So I'm having to take that in and yeah, it's it's tough. But for the last for the last three years, literally it's just been all about me trying to stay sane. Like that's that's what

I've been doing. I've been you know, accepting all the love from my family and my friends and my prayers, and I've just been trying to keep pushing for Brianna and you know, create a feature for myself and my family that Brianna would be proud of. That's what it is. Makes So, you know, a lot of a lot has

happened since then. I remember the first time I met you and you had ankle brace it though you know I met you an ankle brace it and you're actually being charged for um shooting the warning shot when you know the officers just busting in to the apartment, you know, and it was it was a tough time. And I know that since then those charges had been you know, dropped with with prejudice or whatever. Um, how how is

the legal aspect of it going? Is there has there been any still ramifications after that or it's just completely dropped or you choked to your lawyers, anything changing in that aspect. Well, I mean I'm in contact with my lawyers regularly just just for my safety. But um, I mean yeah, all of that is pretty much out out of the window. You know. They um, they dropped the charges. Um first it was I don't don't, I'm gonna get the mess it up because it's real confusing in line

between with prejudice without prejudice. So they dropped Yeah, they dropped it one way the first time, which was with prejudice, and then they come back and then they drop them again without prejudice, meaning they going there, which is crazy to me because how do you halfway drop the charge. It's like we at that point to me, in my mind, it's like we halfway believe you. So then they came back like, all right, you know, we believe you. You're

free to go. But it's how you know, that's not cool my time, and beat me down and tried to assassinate my character all of this time just to come back and say, you know, you ain't do anything wrong to me. Because when I heard that, I'm like, so they dismissed it, and they said, yeah, with prejudice. I'm like, so, what the hell does that mean? You know? And then I had to look into it, and it means basically, we dismissed it for now, but if we decide to,

we can basically reissue those charges, you know exactly. So now you said, I didn't hear about the part without the prejudice, So I'm definitely happy that that's, you know, something all for your shoulder, for your back, you know. So every time I think about how you must have felt, you know what I'm saying, I think about this all

the time. We always said, but we try to make sure that we lift of your name as well, you know, as you you was in a home with the woman that you love and being there, and you know I and I heard that call, you know, heard the call as you called and told somebody to come help, and you can hear the pain and you can hear the

trauma inside of your voice. Man, you know, I know it's I know it's hard and you want to just sometimes just forget about it, but it's it's it's almost impossible to forget a night like that, you know, is it hard for you? Do you do you we play that night or do or you just do you have a therapist because I know I would need a therapist. I need a therapist now and I haven't been through

having it. But do you have somebody that you talk about and you talk through that or is it just something that replays or you just naturally just moving forward to keep your saying what's the process. I definitely have a therapist, you know, and it wouldn't I probably wouldn't still be sitting right here, you know, probably without that process.

You know. So to all my to all my brother young brothers out there like me, don't you know, ain't nothing wrong with going to talk to somebody about how you feel, you know, get some things off your chests. But also thank guy, you know, I got a lot of good family and friends around me that I don't mind,

you know, talk talking to about things. And especially it's a little easier, um talking to them because they know me, and they knew Greek, so they knew the seriousness of our you know, relationship and friendship you know, Um, so they get it, you know, to a to a certain extent. But I definitely replay that that night and stuff like all the time. Like, but it's uncontrollable, like you know, it's certain Me and Brianna like hung out a lot. You know, that was my best friends. So it's a

lot of things that remind me of her. It could be you know, songs, smells, foods, shoot clothes and shoes. You know, we like to get fly, you know what I'm saying. So George's coming out that I know we had a couple of years ago. Now I'm over in my feelings, you know what I'm saying. Just so I've seen the press shoes. But March thirteenth, it is not necessarily a day that you just like, you know, it's

not the day for you. That's the focals, the central focal point of this horrible moment it's almost it's like every day it could be when you said that to me, it could be anytime. Hm. So I think Brianna's moms, Miss Timika Palmer said before, like every every day feels like March thirteenth. Yeah, I'm saying so, and really in my mind, I don't think anybody's ever thought of it

this way. With March fourteenth, you know, might be a little bit worse on my mental because that's when I realized, you know, that's when I was sitting in jail on my bunk, realizing what really just took place. That's when I kind of got to soak it in. All right, you know this, this really just happened. I'm really in jail. I'm probably not getting out, you know, That's what I was thinking at the time. I didn't think I was

ever gonna get out. Um. But yeah, so she was gone because you found that album to be right, yes, yes, So that's what I want, I aint Goes said. I want people to imagine, but just you know, just take of that, like how that feeling is worse than anything. Definitely feeling of helplessness, hopelessness and just just being lost period.

And there's nobody right there for me, and I can't even express my feelings completely because I'm in I'm in a new environment where you can't No, I can't be sitting on this onek in this room full of thirty grown man whatever just crying and boo hoo and or whatever it may be, even though I did do that because I'm me. I mean, but you know, it's it's

a lot to take on. So not only did I just have to you know, soaking and taking everything to just happened to me, I'm also having a soaking and taking this new situation environment that I mean also because I've never been to jail, you know before before that, and especially I have, I have been, but it wasn't for the long com you know what I'm saying, So like, yeah,

it's stressful. I can only imagine, man, you know, just being around you and just I just want to commend you because I watch you cope, you know, I watch you in situations and for a while, you know, based on what you were going through with your legal situation, you know, you weren't really able to speak out, and you know, I remember, I remember, I think it was last year at south By Southwest and he was like, man, I'm y'all of finding hearing me talk a lot more now,

you know, you know, the energy is off. You know, I'm through with the being quiet. You know, briannay justice. So I'm gonna talk up and whatever I got to say to make sure that she get that justice, man. And you've been doing that ever since. Man, So I want to commend you on just taking those steps and stepping into your voice and advocating and making sure that the story in the narrative is set straight, stepping into what you are supposed to be doing in this one.

And then, um, that was easier said than done, because it takes a lot to even do what we're doing right now. But like you know, every time I talk about it and her a little bit, but also I know this needs to be done, you know, and I won't. I was so you know, heldman on, you know, gating my voice out there, because like, who who better to tell the truth than me? You know, I was there exactly, and I'm just glad that these people aren't gonna get

away with it. Yes, right, well some of them have, because the people who actually shot at you are not the ones that have been indicted it's the people responsible for the We haven't yet, we're still in the ass. I'm just saying no, I'm just saying this. I got you, But I'm cool with that, just like God, and you know, he's been making things right, slowly but surely every since this. So I'm very confident that they'll have their day too, we know, and it won't come out of hand to me,

you know what I'm standing. I ain't gonna get on here and get the you know, doing all of that. But those people, they really feel some type of way about me. They've done nothing but bash me and assassinate my character from day one. But I never still to the same little bit level and do the same thing. So, but I think it's important. The reason why I'm bringing up the current legal situation is because people need to know.

Like from the beginning, I have tried to be a very steadfast fact checker for our community because even we say things that's just not accurate. Taylor was in the bedsleep when she was shot to death. That's actually not what happened. Although she was in the bed sleep, but she wasn't in the bed at the time that she

was shot. Right, So these are things because whenever they can catch you where you don't really know the facts or you're saying something that is off from the facts, then they use that as a tool to be like, see, they're trying to change the story to make people, you know, feel more sympathy. It doesn't matter. They should have never

been shooting into the house. And so I think it's important that people know that in this moment, those individuals who have been indicted are not the people who actually or at least the one person we know for sure that whoa that we believe his bullets actually killed Brianna. He is not the person that's been indicted at this moment by the federal government right now. All the folks who play the role, people who lied on warrants, people who all of the nonsense that they did, those individuals

are are the ones facing charges. And it's important to say that because they are the ones that put everybody in the position that they were in that day. Nonetheless, those officers did not follow the standards and the guidelines that they were supposed to follow. And that's what I want to ask you now looking at the report that came out from the Department of Justice, where they have done an extensive, extensive job at researching and examining the

practices of the Louisville Metro Police Department. It seems to me, Kenny that the report that they put out almost mirrors the things that happened that night. No knock entry right, not telling people who's on the outside of the door, falsifying documents to be able to gain entry, right, uh, all kinds of things of the dogs. Um, they said miss proper used to the dog. That was all. You know, there's videos of them doing all of those things above

to me. So I spoke about that, nobody believe me, and then here we are three years later and everything I said is set in stone. So I mean, so the Republicans came out and said and the the union, the police union said, oh, it's exaggerated, but the we're looking at there, I don't want to hear that. There's videos, there's you know, there's audios, or there's you know, I could go on and on and on or several cases in Louisville that you know, our police system is corrupt.

And I can say that because that's not my opinion, that's a fact. You know. It was just on seeing any other day that this this is what's going on. So it didn't start with me, it doesn't end with me, but I was able to, I guess, shed some light on how these people aren't and not operating by the book as they should. They not honoring those those those codes that they you know, that they agreed to m you know. The other thing I wanted to ask you,

and I know it's a tough question. I thought. I debated whether I should ask you this question, but I think it's important for people to know what is the impact on you every day that you lived and Brianna did not like how does that make you? What do you go through dealing with that emotion? It's terrible And I love myself. I never I would never harm myself none.

I don't, you know, I don't want to die or anything, but I definitely, you know, at some point throughout the week or maybe throughout the day, I just feel like I wish I could have traded, you know, like I would I would have definitely rather been the one that didn't make it out and you know, let her make it out. Then yes, And I don't like feel of course, not guilty and not the thing that I didn't do anything. I exercise my my lag you know, my my rights.

But it's just it's just very unfortunate. It's just sad, and it hurts my heart every day that that happened

to her because she didn't deserve that. So and it's even worse and it hurts even more, and it makes me feel some type of way even more to see people out her still just walking around like they didn't do what they did and writing books and going on TV and making um, you know, ill comments about me and stuff like that, you know, calling me out of my name and stuff, especially coming from somebody I never met before, I never had a conversation with, don't know anything,

and definitely wouldn't say it to my face if we were sitting right across from each other, So you know what I'm saying, Like, it's the Internet gives a lot of clowns, you know, and I hate that so much, which is which is why, like I know, I probably should have a bigger Internet presence, but I don't because you know, I'm me and I'm just in real life, so I don't. I just can't be something else on the internet or I can't stud to anybody else's level. So it's tough. I hate the Internet, by the way,

I hate it. Yeah, you have to protect your energy, yes, literally, And the internet is a stressful place and as crazy as I come there to laugh and stuff, but all the all the trolls and all the just negative energy and the I just can't. I just can't. It's no way that you can respond, right, because that's what it is. It's a response to the hurt, right, and the the

horror of what took place. They want you to retaliate because they know that, you know, they want to be able to build a story, a narrative around you yelling in the street or trying to fight one of them, or showing up, you know, somewhere or whatever. They want that. And you know, first of all, you come from such amazing clough your family, your mom and dad, the way that they love you and protect you and have been there to stand by you. And you know this happened

to you. And that's the thing that people need to constantly remember is that this happened to you, and whatever reaction you had throughout this process, it's fair game because this is something that happened to you. So I just want you to know though that we are definitely proud of you, because it's a lot of people that either would melt down and just couldn't stand up to the moment. And then there's a lot of other people who would

feel like, why I'm alive, I'm here but you. But everybody keeps focusing on Brianna and there's not enough attention to you and your story. And yet you're saying, I'm joining those who was fighting for Brianna Taylor. Yes, I think that would be a real weird thought if I felt like that. She's not even here, so I'm still here, So how is that fair? You know, she definitely didn't deserve to lose her life. So if I did anything else besides tell everybody that every day, I'd be weird

of And I'm not going for that. My love for her is way stronger than that. I'm talking about beyond like relationship type. Look like it was my best friend, like my dog. So you know, all I could do is just red for her and just make sure that everybody knows that she didn't deserve that, and those people's terrible for doing that to her and to me. But like I said, I lived, I'm still here. I'm talking to y'all. So I can't feel that that bad for myself,

you know, self pity over here, like they was dead. Wrong, stuff happened, but like guy made me make it through it. So I don't like to sit and dwell on what happened. The only thing I'm dwelling on it's her not being here. That's right. Well, you know, a man, stuff happens to men every day, you know what I'm saying all day every day, and we just gotta I gotta fight through it, just like every other black man out here that goes through things. So I mean, they don't make it right.

You know, we have you know, we have our right you know, to feel how we're feeling, you know, express our emotions and go through what we go through too. But also and just like all those other situations, but sometimes so black man, we also have to pick ourselves up and keep pushing. That's right, That's what we do.

That's man. So in the spirit of that, you know, three years since you know, we've lost Brianna, you know, and we know as black man, we gotta keep on going like what is next with like you know, because for me, the fact that you you your life has to make a lot of sense, right, I know, even with understanding that you were here, she she wasn't. She wasn't didn't making you here. You knew that your life you have to live your life. That's how you would

pay her. Living your life productively, you know, and making sure that every time that you do something positive or whatever, it reflects her and it's an honor. So what is next for Kenny Walks? What is next for you? Honestly,

the disguise the limit. There's a lot of things that's next, Like I could, I could go down the whole list, but mainly the main goal is just to reflect you know, positivity and shared some light on on my situation and brief situation, but also make sure that stuff like this can't happen to people all the time all over the world. You know, from her own out things should change because and a lot of things have changed, you know. I

just recently um one my civil suit, you know. But within my civil suit there's several things that the city has to abide to as far as like rules and regulations. I don't want to get the line same exactly what they are right now, but there's several like things that that you know, and along with UM with Tamika Palmer's um civil So you know, so we already made several changes within the city and basically striving towards these people not being being able to do this to us, you know,

in the future. So I think, um, that's a big part of what's next to me, whether I wanted to be or not. And I'm been thrust into this, you know, this opportunity or this situation, and my voice matters, um, So basically what's next is me, you know, getting my voice out there, and I guess is as much as I can to the best of my ability to make sure if this doesn't happen to other people or doesn't

continue to happen to other people. So the fight for justice continues, and like we just second go, like we ain't even got all the people that we're going after yet, we didn't made some progress. We've got a couple of them, but you know, it's just some people at home sitting on account, you know, drinking coffee right the other you know,

they shouldn't be fact, that's right. Well, the fight for justice is a noble one and you are certainly one that has a real story that you know you you live to do something and to my son's point, you know, your life has to make sense. It's just it just has to like it would, you know, for you not to be in this fight would be you know, a

miscarriage of justice in and of itself. Right, everybody has to acknowledge that your first hand account of all the things that goes wrong with a rough police department, like everything that could go wrong went wrong in this situation lies deceit, improper use of force, improper use of a tactics, you know, attempting to corrupt witnesses, someone was murdered. I mean, everything that you could think of that a bad department could do, framing everything you could think of, it all

happened to you and Brianna Taylor. And so I'm just proud to be one, you know, who had good sense enough to know all of us that until freedom, that we needed to be there to support you. Because we are together, we're making history, We're shaping a new society. It takes a long time to do, but I truly do believe that the work that we put in is going to have It's gonna bear fruit at some point. So thank you Kenny and I want to thank you

all for your work. And really, I don't know if I've ever told you I I just want to say thank you for fighting for greed and for me, like I never forget when we all came on my house, like my son said he met me and I had an ankle bright stung. I'm I'm like, who are these people in my mom in this living room? Like what's doing on right now? Like this is this is really real? You know what I'm saying. But y'all took time out of out of y'all day, you know, and away from

your families and stuff. Just so I realized all of that too. Also, you know what I'm saying, It takes a lot to do what you all do. So I just want to say thank you. I don't know if I ever told y'all before you told him, I really appreciate so. So I'm probably gonna keep telling y'all every time I get around. I got my safe, and we'll keep telling you too, because guess what America's telling us. We are unworthy. We do you know, we're doing too much.

We're race vedas, So we have to edify one another, and we edify you today, King King, Kenny, we love you very much. Keep your head up, keep doing what you're doing. Three years later, Brianna Taylor is not here with us, but you know, her spirit lives on and the fight for justice. She is forever as a black woman, going to be one of the leading voices and figures that we lean on for our inspiration. That's right, and

that works for me. Well, we appreciate you. I want to thank you for allowing us to fight with you, you know, to stand with you, and and and and trusting and in us. You know, you when you when you your love, you lost the love of your life, and you allowed us, you know, and respected us enough to come and stand alongside of you and fight and and we didn't take that lightly. So I just want to say thank you for having the faith in us

to allow us to be there. Dan Hey, so you suing man, be safe, freeway, have a good one, all right. Shout out to Kenny Walker Man. Just watching him grow into you know, it's like I said, I met him with ankle braced it on. He was a young, scared young man just like damn. I don't know what happened. I just got out of jail. They told him by locking me up my girlfriend that I was about to marry his dad like he was. He was in shock.

And also they left the ankle bracelet on his leg that day when we know, the day before when we got there. I think that was a Saturday, the day before they ruled that the ankle bracelet needed to come off his leg. But it was a male. It was Memorial weekend, right, it was Memorial Day because it was a holiday weekend, right, So it was Friday when they ruled that they needed to take the ankle bracelet off.

But because it was a holiday weekend, no one was there to take it off Saturday, Sunday and Monday on Memorial Day, so he was at home still with the bracelet on. Now, the fact that Monday, I mean Friday was the end of him wearing the ankle bracelet. He should have been able to move about on Monday and do whatever he wanted to do as a part of

you know, Memorial Day, get out, visit people. But he was afraid to move around because he didn't know whether the ankle bracelet was gonna go off and able to come and arrest him. So he had no clarity for a whole three more days. It's so he went through a lot. Man. I'm just I'm happy that, um, he's finding his voice, he's finding his space, you know, and fight for bre for Brianna Taylor still continues. So shout out to Kenny Man. So, you know, from I don't

get it. You know, of it's been a situation that happened on the train. You know, it was a young boy that they say is an autistic young man. Um, you see this young girl just walking him through the train, walking him through the train, and then eventually they beat up on a himple and you know, and it's been conflict and I don't know what the issue is. But what I really just don't get is why we constantly have these issues with kids, Like I don't understand how

this bullying thing has got to this level. It's it's not the first time I'm seeing it. It's not the last time we're gonna see it. But this bullying like really like they really are taking off on this kid. And and there's a the conflict is that they're saying that this kid had bullied someone else before. You know, if they there's a video that's going around, I can't tell if it's him or not. I don't know. Nobody knows if it's him. Nobody has been confirmed able to

confirm or deny it. And that's another thing I don't get. If you're this big bully, how do you let a girl drag you through the train right to this big bully? But this girl's about five one yea. She literally just grabbing you by the colla. I'm trying to figure out who's how is he to bully that's getting bullied by

the girl. I've never I've been listening to it. I've seen bullies in my lifetime, right, and I've seen tough girls, but I never seen a tough girl that was five to one bully, a bully that was damn me at six feet. I'm that'sked him. This is new. I don't get what's going on here. This is a whole new thing for me. So I don't know what the story is, but I know I know that the racial slurs that they were using, screaming, calling the man this, look at

the nigga, and all of this wasn't okay. I know even if he had bullies somebody else, then all of those people punching and beating on him wasn't okay, you know. So it's it's just it's unfortunate. Man. We gotta really protect our kids. There's so many different things, you know, And I used this term coward culture so much. You know, I use this term coward culture so much, and I I want people to really, really really just look at it. You know. The culture of coward is that people want

to pick on the weaker. You know, people want to pick on who they perceived to be weaker. People want to do things when they feel like they have an advantage. You know. I've also seen a lady walking and they robbed the lady, Asian lady for I think she took four thousand dollars out of the bank and this this coward grabs her up and pretty much had the lady paralyzed. He those are to the ground. The ladies now paralyzed.

They have to teach her how to walk again. Like I'm just I just think we just live in some dangerous times. Man, We're just living dangerous times. And a lot of people get mad at me because I always advocate for integrity and accountability and men just being able to stand whatever they do. You know, I don't I am so against the criminal culture. And that's why I'm for accountability, you know, And people be mad at me and like, oh, you waded about snitches destitches. Getting people

to know the snitches is avoiding accountability. If the sniche tells on somebody else that did a crime, the snitch gets away, right, who who's where's the accountability for you for the crime you did. So it's it's a false sense of reality, right. What you're doing is rewarding somebody for being a coward so they escape the consequences. So this whole color culture that we're living in now, it's just it's just I don't really get none of this shit. I put a post up yesterday, you know, that said

y'all got it. Everything I learned was wrong. You know. My mama told me, like you know, like most of us that I told my mother, you know, I don't understand that. She said, my son, they could build a whole new world or for the ship, you don't understand. And I said, this is and I realized in this moment that this is the world she was talking about. Man, So this I don't get it. It's easy for me because every day I could come here and have the ship,

did I see? I just don't get well. I only had one point on this, and they ain't much more to say. Where were the big bad police that the trains? Remember, the mayor and a bunch of people, the mayor, the police chief, even some city council members in New York, they say, we gotta have cops on the train. They put budgets into it to put more police on the train. They're supposed to They're supposed to be on the train. Where are they at? Where were they? It was all

those people, especially after school. Where are the cops that's supposed to be there? Nobody saw anything to stop the situation. Maybe they did. I don't know. I'm not saying they didn't, but I know what I saw in that video was a whole lot of beaten up on somebody. And I didn't I didn't see before the video cut off that the police, the big bad cops that's supposed to do

so much preventing crime, didn't see them. So, you know, but they'll say when we say that, oh no, you know, it'll always be some other reason for why the cops were not there. We're not present the ones that they have all the money, you know those I mean, that's

what we deal with. We I'm just so confused with half this shiit to me because like I don't know nothing that's going on, Like I really wake up some days and the ship that I that I have to endure, the things that I have to hear every day, it's just it's like bizarre work. Like the shit that that's being that some of the shit that I can't even say that I want to say that I for you know, just because for my understanding the reality we live, and I can't say half the ship that I wanted to

say all the time. But I say a lot of shit that I I'm very I very really just don't say so. But the things that I that I just think the way that I see, you know, I just tell you protect your energy, man. You know, I'm really focused on trying to save these babies. And a lot of people call what I do, you know, contradicting and all of these things, and I think they don't understand what my goal is. You know. I haven't separated myself

from this culture. I haven't separated myself from my community. I haven't separated myself from the kid on the corner from the one who's hustling, from the ones who who thinks he's a shooter, from the ones just just engaged inside this. I haven't separated myself, right, I've evolved past that, but I haven't separated myself. My goal is to save those people. I'm not here to be with y'all and coexist and all of y'all do gooders that know crime is wrong? Just why don't you just tell people crime

is wrong? Why do you have to say this? Co wouldn't because the people that I'm speaking too, they don't speak that language. They don't give a fuck about what you think is wrong, because you can't change their reality. Because when you tried to talk to me about what was wrong and right and all that shit, you you wasn't putting no food on my table. You wasn't the ones that I need a validation from. You wasn't in my community. You wasn't the girl that I like that,

like the dudes that was doing that. None of that shit that you're talking about then't doesn't relate to my reality. So this good tell them it's writing crimin dolledge. That shit don't work where I'm from. So understand that we speak in two different language. You speak in a language that don't compute where I'm from. So the language I'm speaking, although it confuses you, it is contradicting and hypothe critical

whatever you think. I know who I'm trying to save, and I know in order to save me, this is how you had to speak to me. This is the way that you had to come to me. So you know, I understand that I understand that my method might not be for you, and I you know, what I say is you probably shouldn't follow me. You know you should you probably it's nothing wrong and followed. You know it's

people that I followed. I'm like, you know what your this message don't fit for me or this individual is not from me, but the people I'm trying to save, the people who come from where I come from, the people who've who've got who've survived through what it is that I've survived through, who's going through these trenches, the goods, the bads who've been in pretty much every predicament in life, who've been around, people who've been the you know, drug

addicts and lived on the street, who I have friends who are who have who lived on the streets, and I have friends who are billionaires and millionaires. I've seen every every angle of the spectrum, you know, and I speak from reality, I speak from experience, you know. And it's just it's just hard sometimes, you know, just knowing that there are people who really are intentionally trying to

mislead these babies and misguid them, you know. And it's hard waking up every day seeing that shit and knowing, like Pup said, the media dictates the reality and in the media is it's hell been on miss guy. Man, So I'm fighting, but sometimes you get a little wearied. Man, Well, that's the realities of the work. Now now you are actually stepping into true leadership. Before you were being led and trying to find your way to your own leadership.

Now that you have that feeling of despair at times and feeling like, you know, what are we doing and

what's happening and are people actually getting it? And watching how the narrative or the society pulls in the opposite direction, that's real leadership because that's when you get really, really uncomfortable, and then you have to drill down on your faith and you're understanding in so many different areas those dark pockets to find the light, like you have to actually find the light in the dark pockets, and it's it's

quite challenging. Trust me, I go through it every single day, so well, I ain't got no choice, right, you know, you got to go through it to get through it. That said man.
