people that can say the exact same thing. I mean,
come on, man, I got you, ain't famous, I got
ain't nobody, got no microphone in your face, I got nobody,
ain't got no spotlight on you. I got nobody, ain't
got no camera in your face. I got nobody probably

If you break it down and be real about it,
(01:25):
Oh you done done something outside the box. You done

Man.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's an amazing God right there. Because I know I
couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I'm glad it's him,
you know. Today, Man, I want to encourage brothers out there.
And when I say brothers, I'm talking to everybody that's
of the male species. I don't care about your color,
I really really don't. I don't even have time for
that in my day. Matter of fact, sometimes when you
(02:20):
get to discuss and race and I just get tired
of it. Sometimes I just wish, you know, some days
I just want to wake up just do me. You know,
I got what the skin tone is.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I got that.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But I just want to wake up some days and
just going by my business and do me. I don't
want to have to deal with somebody. I get tired
of talking about the issues. Ain't gonna make them go away,
but sometimes I get tired. So to day, I'm talking
to brothers, all the brothers of the male species. I'm
talking about men today. Man, if you ain't doing it all,
if you're feeling empty, man, start today completing your process
(02:55):
and your journey. And you know what I'm saying by that,
if there's a part of you to missing as a man,
and now, man, i'm talking to you, so you know.
Some ladies listening, but you know what I'm talking about.
It's some part of you that's missing as a man.
If you ain't really been in touch with your kids
like you're supposed to now for whatever the reason is.
(03:17):
And please know, I do understand how sometimes women can
use children as pawns. It happens all the time. I've
been through it. I've been through it, man, I know
what it feels like, man to wanna do something, but
because you ain't got this, or you ain't doing this,
then I ain't gonna let you have this. You gotta
(03:38):
fight through, fellas. You got to fight through. You got
to fulfill your end of the deal. And I got
how difficult they making it. I got how man, it's
gonna come with some drama, but you gotta fight through it, because, man,
we need fathers to be fathers. That's really what we need.
If you're a man out there and you are a
(04:00):
father of a child, we need you do your job.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Our community, our situation, us as a people, all of us.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
We need you to be a father.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Period. Hey man, I ain't coming down on you. I'm
just your boy. I'm your man. And I've been in
the same predicament, in the same hole myself, where I
couldn't get to them, where they were used as pawns,
where they were told things about me that wasn't even true.
I've been through it. You can't see them, you don't
(04:36):
come up, okay, Okay, I got all that. You ain't
sent this. You ain't okay, Hey got all that. If
you can call them sometimes, tell them you thinking about them,
tell them you love them. If you can get a
letter to them, if you can get a message to
your children through one of your relatives. Start the process today.
(04:58):
Be a father. It's your job now. Because you ignoring him,
or you acting like they ain't over there, or you
thee backed them out of your mind because the situation
got too difficult. I got that. I got that. But
you got to step up and be fathers. You got
to write a letter. You gotta send the money if
she talking about it. If you don't send all the money,
(05:19):
you ain't gonna see him. Send what you got if
she if taking it over there is too much drama,
send it through a relative, Give it to a mama,
Give it to her sister, ask her to take it
over there and do something for the baby. Because okay, okay,
you can't deal with the drama. I got that, and
I know it's much to pay when you have to
deal with that, because clearly I know hell have no
(05:40):
fury like a woman's going Please know. I know that,
Please know, And that's a real statement. That ain't no saying.
Steve got that's the truth. But do what you gotta do.
Sometimes you have to apologize. Sometimes an apology goes a
long way to your children. Just say, look, because I've
(06:01):
made this apology before. Hey, man, look, I'm sorry I
wasn't there for you. I was out grinding and hustling,
and I wasn't paying attention to you, and I should
have been. And I apologize now. I imagine, man, there's
days where you was telling people I was your father
up at the school and they wasn't believing you. I
apologize for sending you through that. But now, ma'am, I
(06:24):
tell you what. I made some mistakes, and I got
it together. I want me and you to move forward
as father and son. I want me and you to
move forward as father and daughter. I want to be
in your life now. I ain't got a lot, but
guess what, I know a lot, because if you a
man and you a father, please know you know something
that child don't know. You have information, you have experience.
(06:46):
That's all they need sometimes to have somebody to talk to.
That daughter yours just needs to know from her daddy.
How should a man treat me?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Dad? What should I look for in a man?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
See, they'll take that information from you because they know
it's coming from the right place. And then you know
that your son needs you because you know how difficult
it is if you're trying to be a man without
your daddy. You already know how funky that is, right there.
So come on, man and meet your mistakes and move forward.
Call your kids, write a letter, get a phone number
(07:22):
on them, send a text, drop a message, send a
note up to the school.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do something. Man.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
If those of us that are fathers would just be fathers,
I could shut the minering camp down.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I will say I apologize because I don't want you
to think I'm coming down on you. But I've been
through this myself. I ain't really coming down. I'm just
reminding you. This is our job. These are our children,
this is our responsibility. We are men. There is no excuses.
You don't get you don't get. Cut a brake on
that one.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
