Come on, Alfred Hitchcock. Good evening, good evening, good evening.
Ladies in general, you know who Alfred Hitchcock. You now

So wherever you're streaming.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I want to know about each and every one of you.
I want to know about all of you, because we

a trick question.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Well, Terry Millers, Hello everybody, Kevin, yous there, Kathleen, oh good,

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Okay, Well, this listen, Thank you all. If you this
your first time listening, first day. Is a little bit
different than what we did through the rest of the
free Hitchcock did Vertigo.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, and the birds. Will you quit being a dumb
girl over there?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Don't you know the history of the cultured? I am
learning so good? Okay. Anyways, anyway, uh so, Colts one,
if you didn't know, forty one to fourteen in Cincinnati
against the Bengals. We've got a couple of seas, a
couple of weekends away before the next one Sunday, September seventh,
that will begin the regular season. We wanted to mention
(01:55):
that again. The nominations are open for the Indianapolis Colts
twenty twenty five Fan of the Year. You can do
that by going to NFL dot com slash Fan of
the Year and then those need to be in by
September twenty ninth. Now third grade. What this show is
really is a lot of stuff, but we kind of
stay away from politics unless because you know what, I
feel like, politics is truly what divides us so much, right,
(02:19):
and so we don't want to have any division. Today.
You'll do politics, and if there's something important happens, we
would certainly tell you that, but we just kind of
like to start the week off. Thus the first day
just kind of on a lighter note, right, just in
case this is your first time watching, and I hope
that you'll like it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
GE's a positive momentum roll in for you.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Right, So your kids are back in school and this
was kind of making its way around a viral math question.
Oh boy, okay, that came across. Now. I don't know
you guys probably will get this, but it seems simple enough, right, Terry,
is that degrading? It's one hundred plus one hundred times
four eight hundred eight hundred? Do you think it's eight hundred? Well,
(03:02):
one hundred plus one hundred times four.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay, so it's five hundred. It depends on where the
where's the parentheses?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Where's the parentheses? That's the question. I got it wrong.
I had eight hundred. Well, but you forgot me about
the parentheses. Say you were doing your You didn't tell
us where I love you?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, all right? Did we mention that Terry was a blonde?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Did we mention.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That you mentioned that Terry was a pharmaceutical blonde?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
All right, Okay, here's another one.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You're ready to get killed for this.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's three fourths bigger than two thirds.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yes, sixty seven percent versus seventy five percent.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Okay, okay, kudos, thirty four three fourths bigger than two thirds.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yes, yeah, you make fun of plumbers can do this.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I don't know about radio. They can do it. The
two thirds. That was a little slow one.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I was trying to yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I got it wrong. Did go back to school?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, come on, third grade?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I was like thinking of my measuring cop. Okay, that's it,
And I was thinking, okay, where does it go?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
If you are on YouTube, you get to see Terry's
face right now, and it's precious, his precious Terry. You're
apologizing as you talk, and really, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Here's another one. Okay, here's the other one. I got wrong,
but so did this was this was a survey, and truly,
most typical Americans can't answer these third grade math questions.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Remember the show Are You Smarter than a fifth grader?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
A sweater? You buy a sweater that's ten dollars, but
it's on sale for twenty five percent off. Okay, Now
before you go to the register, figure out how much
you need to buy it.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Fifty cents?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Kyl much? Did you say it was four? It's ten
dollars and it's twenty five percent off? Yeah, seven fifty.
For some reason, I heard one hundred dollars. I was like,
where are you shocked?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
What?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Okay? But no ten dollars. Yeah. I am so bad
with percentages, in particular tipping. I'm really bad when it
comes to figuring out how much is my tip. When
it's like you want to give up thirty or twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Percent, machines, they will coach you through.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Oh my gosh, and in my brain I want to.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Know fifteen percent was always hard. Well, now the standard
tip is twenty percent.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh you know what. Guess what. We got to take
a break because we got a guest comment. Yes, we did,
a way to go, everybody, you knew we were one
over there. You're putting us back in third grade.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Miss Wilson is watching.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Something pretty serious is coming up. We gotta be good,
all right. It's coming up next right after the break.
Thank you for being here. It's the first day ninety
three WIBC. It is twelve sixteen. Good afternoon, Thanks for
joining us here. This is the first day. Terry Stacy,
along with Denny Smith and Kylon Tally, saw this just
this morning in my in my in in my inbox
(05:50):
about Indiana overdose deaths and the rate here in Indiana.
It's reporting slightly just above not the national average. Indiana
ranks twenty first nationally with what they're quoting as thirty
two point four to one. I don't know how they
get those numbers overdose deaths per one hundred thousand residents.
This was a study by the First Aid Course Training
Provider CPR. First Aid Overdose Awareness Day is coming up.
(06:14):
It's on August thirty first. In fact, there's a candlelight
vigil today to offer an opportunity for the community members
here to come together in remembrance and also support. It
is hosted by Overdose Lifeline. It's a nonprofit founded by
Justin Phillips, who has been here with us before, and
she's got some details. How are you, Justin. We're glad
to have you with us. Thank you good, thank you,
(06:37):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You bet it is. Before we talk about Overdose Lifeline
in today's event, I want to hear about yesterday's event,
which was a community ribbon installation at the Overdose Lifeline offices.
Tell us what that looks like.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yeah, So our office is located on the corner of
forty second in Michigan, close to the Butler campus, and
so there's a lot of traffic on that road. So
about three or four years ago, we decided we would
start raising awareness with putting these ribbons in the yard
their yard signs. They're International Overdose Awareness Day ribbons, and
(07:12):
we do one for every life lost every day in
the United States. So sometimes we've had over three hundred.
This year we had two hundred and twenty, and people
are invited to come and make a ribbon in honor
of their lost loved ones. So if you go to
visit the installation, you'll see, you know, ribbons in memory
(07:33):
of individuals, and there's blank ribbons too, So I invite
anyone to come stop by and decorate their own ribbon,
and we'll keep it until next year and put it
out again because we never want to forget.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It's a powerful site. For sure, it's a powerful site.
It is. The message is clear when you pass that area.
Denny justin, This.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Is Denny Smith. I'm just curious how did this all
get started? The lifeline's you know overdose lifeline? How did
you get this started?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
And one sure, I used to do injury prevention for
kids and grassroots advocacy, and I thought I understood addiction.
It has been in my family. I've been in recovery
for a super long time, long before I had children,
and unfortunately I didn't understand about opioids, as none of
(08:19):
us did. In twenty twelve and my middle child, Aaron,
shared that he was using heroin and couldn't stop on
his own, and so we did what we thought was best.
But what we didn't know is that overdose is likely
for someone with opioid use disorder, and the lock zone
or people know the drug to be called narcan could
(08:41):
save your life. And so unfortunately, Aaron lost his life
in twenty thirteen, and so I started over those Lifeline
really to get in the lock zone, narcan access to
be greater and to help other families not have to
have this experience.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You've shared and made so much awareness around this through
your organization, Overdose Lifeline, Inc. And even to the point
of now hosting Overdose Awareness Day every year. And we'll
talk about today and what you're doing for it, but
talk about some of those ways year round that you
provide awareness and support through these.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Sure thank you.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
We know we make the lock zone available. We have
a great partnership with the state and so there's free
access to a lock zone in all variety of ways,
but it's simple to go to our website. We do
about six thousand individual doses a week across the state
through our great grassroots partners in every county. We have
programs for families who are affected by someone else's substance
(09:40):
use disorder to include a children year round mentoring program
called Mariposa. And we have a recovery house for women
who are trying to get back on their feet but
also have children that they're trying to stay living with.
So we provide housing for women who are pregnant or
parenting children under the age of four.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh, my gosh, under the age of four. It really
is remarkable that, I mean, the accomplishments give us, I mean,
tell us about that. I mean, this has been You've
been at it now for has it been ten years?
About almost ten years?
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Over too. Fly Fi was eleven years old in July.
We were officially a nonprofit in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
And so what tell us about some of the differences
that you're making. I mean, you just mentioned those great programs,
but you must have some success stories or two that
come to mind.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, I mean, we have.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Lots of people whose children are alive and in recovery
because of access to the lock zone, and a lot
of people share those anecdotes with me all the time.
We have, you know, these children at Camp Mariposa, Aaron's place.
Their lives are being changed because they're getting to understand
that the disease of addiction is not something they can
(10:55):
do anything about and they get to make different choices.
And those stories that come out of Camp Mariposa are
just so beautiful and really I think changing intergenerational trauma.
And then we have a resident from heart Rock who
came to us with no ID, pregnant and now has
(11:16):
two years in recovery and giving back to women and
really on a different path. So yeah, I think there's
some difference that we're making and I'm super grateful man.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Just in the name of the camp is well named.
Mariposa is a Spanish for butterfly, and there are so
many stories that you can go with on a butterfly.
But I as a business owner and as a businessman,
I would encourage any business to have narcan in your
first aid kits at office because it goes the gamut,
(11:50):
It hits the socioeconomically. Addiction goes everywhere, and it's not
just you know, craftsmen, it's not just it's everybody throughout
the population. How does a business get a hold of
the lock zone or from narcan? How do they get
that so they can have it on hand for emergencies.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
No, that's an amazing good point, and thank you for
bringing that up, Denny. And we do have some training
programs specifically tailored for employers because it is part of
the workforce and it is affecting your employees, whether they're
the ones who are suffering, or they have a family
member that suffers and then subsequently affects them right, and
(12:32):
so we have some training programs that we provide to employers.
But you can also go on our website Overdoselifeline dot
org and at the very top of the web page,
in a red banner, it says request the lock zone.
Find the lock zone near me, and you just click
there and it's very simple. You can go places and
or you can request it anonymously and we will mail
(12:54):
it to you.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Kilan.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
There are so many different the locks boxes now installed
across the state of Indiana. There's one that just got
put in at the Scienceville Police Department. There's a narcanbox
installed on Produce Campus. There's so many around that you
were helping with. And I went past on one time
and I was like, oh, look there's some knocks own.
I won't ever need to use that though, like I
don't need to pay attention to that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That may not be the case.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And so talk on that for the public's use in
thoughts around that and being open to those resources in
case they do come to a time when they need it.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Sure, thank you. And we do have over six hundred
locks boxes around the state and it's a twenty four
to seven ability to have access and unfortunately much like
any other medical emergency. The way we think about people
should have an understanding around performing CPR. People should have
an understanding around overdose prevention, because people do overdose in
(13:52):
public spaces all the time, and we have plenty of
anecdotal stories of just a lay person being willing to
carry it in the same way we're willing to understand
how to perform CPR and coming across someone who needs
than a lock zone. It's just a bridge while we
call nine one one and get medical ems to arrive.
(14:12):
But it is an effective bridge because it keeps someone alive.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This is Justin Phillips and she is the founder and
CEO of Overdose a Lifeline again overdoselifeline dot com. We've
got another event that we want to share with you.
It is this evening. It's a candlelight vigil and it
will be from six to eight and justin just a
few details. I'm not sure I know the location and
tell us a little bit more about what guests can expect.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Sure, we start the event at six pm at the
Indiana State Museum in the Great Hall, and we have
light refreshments, and we have a wall where we post
pictures of lost loved ones that have been submitted to us,
So individuals could submit that photo a time, or they're
(15:00):
welcome to bring it tonight, and it's very you know,
very somber. Unfortunately, we're trying to really allow people the
space to gather together and remember their lost loved ones.
And we have a program starting around six point thirty
six forty where we do some guests speaking from elected officials,
we give some awards out to recognize people who are
(15:21):
contributing to making a difference, and then we conclude with
a candlelight visual outside on the terrace with some music,
and then individuals are invited to come to the microphone
and share their loved one's name. You know, one of
the pieces that's very difficult about losing anyone, and of
course losing a child specifically, is that we feel that
(15:44):
they get forgotten. So any opportunity to say their name,
to bring them to anyone's awareness is just super meaningful
to those of us that have lost. Well.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Again, that begins at six o'clock. It is a candlelight
visual and Dan's at the Indiana State Museum and you
our friend justin thank you overdoselifeline dot com. You've accomplished
so much in memory of Aaron and certainly saved lives
and made a difference in this world. And we appreciate
you so much. Thank you for giving us some of
your time today.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Thank you. I appreciate you all letting me talk about it,
and for the opportunity. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You're always welcome here for sure. All Right, we're going
to get to some news coming up next and some
more here on the first day ninety three, WIBC Danny
just ran down. We've got a guest coming in. We
have two guests. I'm so excited. I am so excited too, Kylin,
what's wrong with what you want to talk about? This song? For?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
This song has taken over everywhere. This song is from
a K pop series that just started streaming on Netflix.
It's called k Pop Demon Hunters, and this song.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Specifically Demon Hunters. That sounds like a good one. I
know it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I haven't seen it myself yet, but this song is
always stuck in my head. It's taken over TikTok, It's
taken over everything. It's now reached number one on every
major chart.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
That's wild. It was a good song from what I heard.
It's pretty catchy. It's cutety catchy. I do like it.
Thank you for keeping us up to date, my little kyline.
You want to explain who's coming up here shortly in
just a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, we just had a grand reopening of a local
shop here in Indy and they're doing more for the
community that we love to spotlight that. And so we're
going to talk to the owner of the restaurant and
then an assistant with it as well to talk about
what's happening, and then their event that's happening next Saturday
that you can come and be involved with.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Beautiful before we take a break, because we're going to
just keep this one short. Longevity is the trend at
the moment with anti aging supplements. You know, all the
cold water plunges and everything everybody's trying to do to
live longer. But according to research by Hormone Health Clinic,
Feel thirty. Feel thirty is everybody doing research. Some states
(17:57):
have a higher life expectancy than others. So where do
rank here in Indiana as far as longevity goes, we
rank twenty ninth among the United States. Indiana residents live
in average of seventy four point six years with men
at seventy one point eight and women at seventy seven
(18:18):
point five. Where in this country do you think that
you live the longest? Hawaii?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Okay, you know what, going to Paradise.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I would be the perfect climate. Hawaii rank's top. They
live seventy nine point nine years. Mississippi ranks last, residents
living almost ten years less than those in Hawaii. You're
living just to sixty nine if you live in Mississippi.
All right, that's cityway.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
How do you feel about that average age for here
in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, I don't like it. I mean, that doesn't seem
like long at all. And let me tell you, the
closer you get to it, the more sad this is,
the more sad the disinformation really is. I'm not even
gonna mention it to Denny. He won't like it at all.
But yeah, we ranked twenty ninth among US states this study,
which analyzed the latest CDC data on life expectancy across
(19:08):
all fifty United States. We've got our next guest set
has just arrived, so we're going to take a break
because we want to spend a lot of time with them.
Is that okay, Kylin, let's do it all right, let's
do It's the first day on ninety three WIBC. Let's
do it, everybody, it's the first day food News. I'm
Terry Denny Kylin in studio with us are two beautiful

in the YouTube, that's right, you can pop up and

Speaker 1 (19:43):
We're going to start out.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
There was a grand reopening of a restaurant called Soul
Food Shack right here in Indianapolis on the east side.
And we have the owner of Soul Food Shack here
with us, Felicia Jones.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Pasha, thank you for being.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And then we also have Covena White who has been
helping out with so much of the background scene, everything, everything. Kavina,
thank you for being here too.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh absolutely absolutely see.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
These ladies know how to dress. They've got color. I
try to bring color into the studio and what do
we get. Everybody's wearing black and white. No, no, you
got to bring color, and the ladies have brought it.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So let's start off here.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
The Soul Food Shock has had a journey so far,
but talk about how the grand reopening went last night.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Felicia, Well, it was awesome last night. We had a
huge turnout. We had we actually ran out of food.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yes, you know, I believe it hearing the reviews. Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yes, we had good food and fun and it was
We had a recording artist there that really sung, did
a good job. We had open mic. We had a
lot of people that was there just from the news
clipping that I had did two days before thanks to
MSS Covina. A lot of people was there just to
(21:01):
support and to hear my testimony.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So do hear your testimony? Yes we can. We hear
your testimony?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Yes, yes you can, please, yes you can.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
So.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I am an entrepreneur. I am the owner of Felicia Jones.
I'm the owner of Soul Food Shack located at one
O five three seven East Washington Street, sweet Bee, and
in that area on the east side, we're really the
only soul food.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yes you are, listen. I live in just to even
blow up farther east on Washington Street, closer to like
the Cumberland area. So we're grateful for anything that comes
out our way, especially if it's if it's you bringing something. Yes,
ma'am so please, and so the soul food restaurant, soul food.
(21:46):
I always wanted to do a soul food restaurant. It
originated from my grandmother. She's from Alabama and my mother's
from Georgia, and soul food back in the slavery days,
they didn't have much. So the food bro look into
the families when they cooked.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
They feel like that was what they had to bring
them together at that time, sitting down eating different types
of food like catfish. While we sell on our menu
sweet potatoes, mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is one
of our best sellers, by the way. And so it
started with a thought. You know, I was like, I'm
gonna opening this restaurant. I'm gonna do this. I'm opening
(22:22):
his restaurant. And at the time I went through something,
my husband was supposed to open it with me. He
just backed the way. You know, things didn't go good.
But I want to motivate the people and tell them
no matter what you go through with keep pushing. As
being the owner of sixteen different businesses, this was my
hardest challenge the restaurant. The restaurant and dri didn't closed
and I met this new manager. We revamped it and
(22:44):
we're trying to get it to be number one, the
number one soul food. And if you got a vision,
don't let no one take that vision from you. Just
keep going and keep pushing and keep pushing. You will
get to where you go. We had a sellout on yesterday.
I had a tour when I first opened it up,
maybe about three years ago. We had some YouTubers come
through there and just blow us away. But I was like,
oh my god, I felt so bad. I was crying.
(23:06):
And at the time the manager I had, he said,
you got to keep pushing, put the negative in a
positive together and still shoot to be successful.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And so it's hard to do though in that when
you're that when you're at that low, you know, and
that's what an influencer can do to you in a minute,
can take you down. But you but you rose above.
I mean you did. You just kept pushing forward and
through that. You mentioned those hard times, did I were
there times when you didn't even have a home to
(23:36):
go to.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yes, it was doing. I'm forty seven now doing my twenties.
I kept trying to make different businesses work. I got
evicted twenty one times, and I want to show twenty
one times I went from welfare one thirty nine a
month one thousand dollars a month in food stamps too.
I actually see it. I'm not seeing it now, but
(23:58):
I know it's gonna come back up to three hundred
thousand dollars a month from the home care and all
the businesses I own. So I want to encourage people.
If you got a vision and if you want to
do it, you could do all things through Christ that
give you strength.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
And I do want to encourage the people that And
that's the only reason that I'm here today. That's the
only reason that I made it because of him. But
I was called insane. I have family members told me
I was insane doing the same thing over and over
getting the same result. But you still because one thing
about an entrepreneur is you can have ten different businesses
(24:31):
and one of those businesses out of the ten can
be successful. Let's say that one is making you the
profit the network that you want each month of one
hundred thousand. The rest of them is making you ten dollars.
They're going to keep pushing and pushing and pushing to
all those businesses is where they want to be. It
they want all those businesses to be the cash cow.
So a lot of people, even my children, they said,
give up on the restaurant. We see you and I
(24:53):
worked through a lot of people don't know my illness.
I have three licking valves from the heart. It's final,
Arthur run, and I'm still pushing. I can do it.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I'm still taking down.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I know, and it's not and I want people to
know they feel like sometimes they get in different situations.
I can't make this business go. I don to roll
down my plan on paper and I can't manifest it.
And every day what the key is prayer. That's what
I do. I pray over everything and I tell you
it gets me to where I need to be in life.
(25:24):
Even with me Miss Covena, I'm thankful for her because
she got me. And I said, if I could just
tell my testimony, We seventy one thirty one East forty
sixth Street. We also give away pampers. A lot of
people don't know that. I haven't been able to get
out there and tell people I got whole pampers and
wipes because I want to give back because I remember
a time I used to have to go get pampers
and wipes at different churches from my kids. I remember
(25:46):
I used to take food off my plate. My kids
didn't know it. I had five children for our birth
and one of them, her mom, passed away when she
was three. She's twenty one now, and I used to
take food from my plate. They didn't know it and
put it on their plate.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
They can't in their ballet.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Yes, I know how it is to sleep in the car,
and I know how it is to live in a
million dollar home. So I've been there. I've been from
zero to one hundred, and I still keep trusting him.
I'm still not where I want to be at, but
I thank God, I'm pushing to where I need to
be at. And if I can influence and if I
can help somebody else, that's my passion, that's my dream.
(26:22):
That's what I want to let people know they can
do it. With the restaurant. I still we're open Tuesday
through Saturday. Now we have new hours of operation from
twelve to six. And when I tell you, it brought
so many people in from when I said I had
got evicted twenty one times. One girl she said, hey,
I've been so embarrassed about being evicted, and I can't
(26:44):
believe that you really shared that. Now I feel comfortable
with telling you can I have help with my rent?
I say, yes, you can, Yes, you can, even if
I don't have. I have gave the shoes off my
feet before, and we're home barefoot. As I'm going my
daughter said, we're your shoes, and I said, well, they
didn't have no shoes.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I gave it to your heart.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh my goodness, you said, you're You're not where you
want to be. Amazing Yet this is the owner of
Soul Food Shack. You need to go visit them over
on East Washington Street. Felicia Jones entrepreneur across so many
facets of life, and you are helping the community. But
you also have helped behind the scenes too. Kavina White,
I'm gonna bring you into the conversation to talk a
little bit about how you joined this journey as well.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yes, so by the grace of God, Like Felicia said,
it was God ordained for us to meet. If I
can say I wrote a book for someone, I have
a literary arts company called Kavianiche Writes, and so I
write books, we do business plans, ghost write, screenwriting, film
writing all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
So Felicia.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
God brought Felicia to me, I believe, and me to her,
and I'm writing her story as well. But when I
tell you, just watching her on day to day, you know,
some people just kind of say things, right, but her
actions and her words aligned. I mean, she is just
such a I mean, I think it was made conversation
number two. We're like, I love you, sister story to God. Like, yes,
(28:07):
I mean, I just you know, I love all of
my clients, right, you know, when I'm writing books and
ghost writing and editing and all.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That, but it's just some that just you know, it's
from the poor.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Like I feel like we've known each other for years
and so that's how we became acquainted. But we are
like we've been in the spirit acquainted for years.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
It feels like.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
But I saw what she does, and I'm like, you
know what, this girl deserves her flowers. Now.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
She's an amazing woman of God. She has personally helped me.
I've seen her help.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Other people by way of giving food to the community
and things when people are in need. You see what
I'm saying. She's one of those friends when and I'll
just say this listen, giving you your flowers when you
say you have a need. And I called her and
told her to pray with me about something. I said,
I got this date, I have to pay this, I
have to do this. And you know what she said
to me, I got you, sister, and she don't you
(28:57):
worry about it. So just and that's what my personal tes.
Some money with her, but just seeing her in action
with her family, you know, her children, all the things
that she does, you know, with her mother, and all
the businesses that she has, but still being present, you know,
being able to pivot and be present.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But guess what she does over all of those things.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
She gives glory to God.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Yeah, she is a God fear and woman, you know,
and you have to support that. And so I mean,
now we're like partners. You know. It's my sister in Christ.
And like I said, I just had it in my
heart and spirit to say, you know what, let's put
together this open mic celebration and ribbon cutting. And she
said for me, listen, you deserve more than that. But
just to let more people know about the Soulful Shack
(29:37):
as well, because the food is absolutely the food.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Is awesome, but it always it always. I love knowing
who's behind the fare there you go, yes, because that
can make a difference and it can be difference difference
where you.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Go and the food. Oh sorry to me to cut
you off. You know, it's always're saying the food like
you can tell the love behind like when you come in.
It's a great atmosphere. Everybody's talking loving when I'm there.
I don't work there really, but I do, you know,
because I'm like welcome to the shot.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
But it's just amazing what she does.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
And like I said, I just wanted to do what
I could with the capabilities that God has given me
to pour back into her because she poisoned to me
too God.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So Denny got any questions for this too?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I want to know about your grandmother's recipe book? How
much did you get from grandmother?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
My grandmother left and my mother that's still living now,
God bless her.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
She's made it off the ventilator.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
She's pushing. She's a pastor and she I just went
through recently some things with her, but she's in the
bed and she's talking them so to all praises close
to him, and she give me the recipes from her mother.

oh good, okay, good, good, good, which is in the
Walmart area. Everybody on the East Side, you know where
you're going Hobby Lobby? And do you have a website
or on social media and all that good stuff where
people can google it?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
But we do have new hours. I want to express
because a lot of people say the hours is right now,
we're Tuesday through Saturday, twelve to six.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, Tuesday through Saturday, tell the six.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
So there's only one exception for the open mic Saturday
five to seven. So we're just doing that as a
specialty for the event.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
All right, gotcha? Oh boy, I'm amazed at you. I
am in awe of you of what you have accomplished
in your young life. If you're not able to watch
us on YouTube, she's very young, what are you twenty
five thirty's she's really accomplished so much. And again that
roller coaster ride. But you're right where you're supposed to be.
(34:24):
You're right where you're supposed to be, and you're feeding
us on the east side, and we're grateful that you're there. Kylin.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
We have two about two minutes left, so if there's
anything else with Felicia, do you have any hopes for
this next event and on for Soul Food Check that
you want to share?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Yes, I hope to see more people out.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I do want to let get another sellout, yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yes, and I do when I just want to let
people know that at the end of each month, I
take or either one day or work and I help
people with their meals. I try to sew back into
the community what they put in there, so like people
that's in need, because I know how it was before
and a lot of people don't know that. We do
(35:05):
take fun. I take ten percent out of everything I
make for the month and give it back to a
family to help them. But I do want to see
this be very successful. I do want to see as
it was last at last Heurday yesterday. I do want
to see a lot of people come out and just eat,
have fun, no violence, just eat, drink and be merry.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
The more that come out, the more she's able to
help others. Yes, because you essentially when you're coming and
having some good food, you are helping others and you
don't even maybe even know it, but yeah, you continue
on with what you're doing. She's fantastic. Thank you. Please
know that you're always welcome here. If there's anything that

Speaker 3 (00:52):
I've got ten there and then eighty four on Twitter.
So wherever you're streaming.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I want to know about each and every one of you.
I want to know about all of you, because we

a trick question.
Speaker 2 (01:06):

you know, Jennifer Schmidt, Freddie Williams, Libertarian, Dragon crazy Libertarian.
Speaker 1 (01:16):

Kathleen, They're all here there, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Okay, Well, this listen, Thank you all. If you this
your first time listening, first day. Is a little bit
different than what we did through the rest of the
free Hitchcock did Vertigo.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, and the birds. Will you quit being a dumb
girl over there?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Don't you know the history of the cultured? I am
learning so good? Okay. Anyways, anyway, uh so, Colts one,
if you didn't know, forty one to fourteen in Cincinnati
against the Bengals. We've got a couple of seas, a
couple of weekends away before the next one Sunday, September seventh,
that will begin the regular season. We wanted to mention
(01:55):
that again. The nominations are open for the Indianapolis Colts
twenty twenty five Fan of the Year. You can do
that by going to NFL dot com slash Fan of
the Year and then those need to be in by
September twenty ninth. Now third grade. What this show is
really is a lot of stuff, but we kind of
stay away from politics unless because you know what, I
feel like, politics is truly what divides us so much, right,
(02:19):
and so we don't want to have any division. Today.
You'll do politics, and if there's something important happens, we
would certainly tell you that, but we just kind of
like to start the week off. Thus the first day
just kind of on a lighter note, right, just in
case this is your first time watching, and I hope
that you'll like it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
GE's a positive momentum roll in for you.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Right, So your kids are back in school and this
was kind of making its way around a viral math question.
Oh boy, okay, that came across. Now. I don't know
you guys probably will get this, but it seems simple enough, right, Terry,
is that degrading? It's one hundred plus one hundred times
four eight hundred eight hundred? Do you think it's eight hundred? Well,
(03:02):
one hundred plus one hundred times four.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay, so it's five hundred. It depends on where the
where's the parentheses?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Where's the parentheses? That's the question. I got it wrong.
I had eight hundred. Well, but you forgot me about
the parentheses. Say you were doing your You didn't tell
us where I love you?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Okay, all right? Did we mention that Terry was a blonde?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Did we mention.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That you mentioned that Terry was a pharmaceutical blonde?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
All right, Okay, here's another one.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You're ready to get killed for this.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's three fourths bigger than two thirds.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yes, sixty seven percent versus seventy five percent.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Okay, okay, kudos, thirty four three fourths bigger than two thirds.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yes, yeah, you make fun of plumbers can do this.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I don't know about radio. They can do it. The
two thirds. That was a little slow one.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I was trying to yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I got it wrong. Did go back to school?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, come on, third grade?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I was like thinking of my measuring cop. Okay, that's it,
And I was thinking, okay, where does it go?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
If you are on YouTube, you get to see Terry's
face right now, and it's precious, his precious Terry. You're
apologizing as you talk, and really, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Here's another one. Okay, here's the other one. I got wrong,
but so did this was this was a survey, and truly,
most typical Americans can't answer these third grade math questions.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Remember the show Are You Smarter than a fifth grader?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
A sweater? You buy a sweater that's ten dollars, but
it's on sale for twenty five percent off. Okay, Now
before you go to the register, figure out how much
you need to buy it.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Fifty cents?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Kyl much? Did you say it was four? It's ten
dollars and it's twenty five percent off? Yeah, seven fifty.
For some reason, I heard one hundred dollars. I was like,
where are you shocked?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
What?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Okay? But no ten dollars. Yeah. I am so bad
with percentages, in particular tipping. I'm really bad when it
comes to figuring out how much is my tip. When
it's like you want to give up thirty or twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Percent, machines, they will coach you through.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Oh my gosh, and in my brain I want to.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Know fifteen percent was always hard. Well, now the standard
tip is twenty percent.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh you know what. Guess what. We got to take
a break because we got a guest comment. Yes, we did,
a way to go, everybody, you knew we were one
over there. You're putting us back in third grade.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Miss Wilson is watching.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Something pretty serious is coming up. We gotta be good,
all right. It's coming up next right after the break.
Thank you for being here. It's the first day ninety
three WIBC. It is twelve sixteen. Good afternoon, Thanks for
joining us here. This is the first day. Terry Stacy,
along with Denny Smith and Kylon Tally, saw this just
this morning in my in my in in my inbox
(05:50):
about Indiana overdose deaths and the rate here in Indiana.
It's reporting slightly just above not the national average. Indiana
ranks twenty first nationally with what they're quoting as thirty
two point four to one. I don't know how they
get those numbers overdose deaths per one hundred thousand residents.
This was a study by the First Aid Course Training
Provider CPR. First Aid Overdose Awareness Day is coming up.
(06:14):
It's on August thirty first. In fact, there's a candlelight
vigil today to offer an opportunity for the community members
here to come together in remembrance and also support. It
is hosted by Overdose Lifeline. It's a nonprofit founded by
Justin Phillips, who has been here with us before, and
she's got some details. How are you, Justin. We're glad
to have you with us. Thank you good, thank you,
(06:37):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You bet it is. Before we talk about Overdose Lifeline
in today's event, I want to hear about yesterday's event,
which was a community ribbon installation at the Overdose Lifeline offices.
Tell us what that looks like.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yeah, So our office is located on the corner of
forty second in Michigan, close to the Butler campus, and
so there's a lot of traffic on that road. So
about three or four years ago, we decided we would
start raising awareness with putting these ribbons in the yard
their yard signs. They're International Overdose Awareness Day ribbons, and
(07:12):
we do one for every life lost every day in
the United States. So sometimes we've had over three hundred.
This year we had two hundred and twenty, and people
are invited to come and make a ribbon in honor
of their lost loved ones. So if you go to
visit the installation, you'll see, you know, ribbons in memory
(07:33):
of individuals, and there's blank ribbons too, So I invite
anyone to come stop by and decorate their own ribbon,
and we'll keep it until next year and put it
out again because we never want to forget.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It's a powerful site. For sure, it's a powerful site.
It is. The message is clear when you pass that area.
Denny justin, This.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Is Denny Smith. I'm just curious how did this all
get started? The lifeline's you know overdose lifeline? How did
you get this started?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
And one sure, I used to do injury prevention for
kids and grassroots advocacy, and I thought I understood addiction.
It has been in my family. I've been in recovery
for a super long time, long before I had children,
and unfortunately I didn't understand about opioids, as none of
(08:19):
us did. In twenty twelve and my middle child, Aaron,
shared that he was using heroin and couldn't stop on
his own, and so we did what we thought was best.
But what we didn't know is that overdose is likely
for someone with opioid use disorder, and the lock zone
or people know the drug to be called narcan could
(08:41):
save your life. And so unfortunately, Aaron lost his life
in twenty thirteen, and so I started over those Lifeline
really to get in the lock zone, narcan access to
be greater and to help other families not have to
have this experience.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You've shared and made so much awareness around this through
your organization, Overdose Lifeline, Inc. And even to the point
of now hosting Overdose Awareness Day every year. And we'll
talk about today and what you're doing for it, but
talk about some of those ways year round that you
provide awareness and support through these.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Sure thank you.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
We know we make the lock zone available. We have
a great partnership with the state and so there's free
access to a lock zone in all variety of ways,
but it's simple to go to our website. We do
about six thousand individual doses a week across the state
through our great grassroots partners in every county. We have
programs for families who are affected by someone else's substance
(09:40):
use disorder to include a children year round mentoring program
called Mariposa. And we have a recovery house for women
who are trying to get back on their feet but
also have children that they're trying to stay living with.
So we provide housing for women who are pregnant or
parenting children under the age of four.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh, my gosh, under the age of four. It really
is remarkable that, I mean, the accomplishments give us, I mean,
tell us about that. I mean, this has been You've
been at it now for has it been ten years?
About almost ten years?
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Over too. Fly Fi was eleven years old in July.
We were officially a nonprofit in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
And so what tell us about some of the differences
that you're making. I mean, you just mentioned those great programs,
but you must have some success stories or two that
come to mind.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, I mean, we have.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Lots of people whose children are alive and in recovery
because of access to the lock zone, and a lot
of people share those anecdotes with me all the time.
We have, you know, these children at Camp Mariposa, Aaron's place.
Their lives are being changed because they're getting to understand
that the disease of addiction is not something they can
(10:55):
do anything about and they get to make different choices.
And those stories that come out of Camp Mariposa are
just so beautiful and really I think changing intergenerational trauma.
And then we have a resident from heart Rock who
came to us with no ID, pregnant and now has
(11:16):
two years in recovery and giving back to women and
really on a different path. So yeah, I think there's
some difference that we're making and I'm super grateful man.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Just in the name of the camp is well named.
Mariposa is a Spanish for butterfly, and there are so
many stories that you can go with on a butterfly.
But I as a business owner and as a businessman,
I would encourage any business to have narcan in your
first aid kits at office because it goes the gamut,
(11:50):
It hits the socioeconomically. Addiction goes everywhere, and it's not
just you know, craftsmen, it's not just it's everybody throughout
the population. How does a business get a hold of
the lock zone or from narcan? How do they get
that so they can have it on hand for emergencies.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
No, that's an amazing good point, and thank you for
bringing that up, Denny. And we do have some training
programs specifically tailored for employers because it is part of
the workforce and it is affecting your employees, whether they're
the ones who are suffering, or they have a family
member that suffers and then subsequently affects them right, and
(12:32):
so we have some training programs that we provide to employers.
But you can also go on our website Overdoselifeline dot
org and at the very top of the web page,
in a red banner, it says request the lock zone.
Find the lock zone near me, and you just click
there and it's very simple. You can go places and
or you can request it anonymously and we will mail
(12:54):
it to you.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Kilan.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
There are so many different the locks boxes now installed
across the state of Indiana. There's one that just got
put in at the Scienceville Police Department. There's a narcanbox
installed on Produce Campus. There's so many around that you
were helping with. And I went past on one time
and I was like, oh, look there's some knocks own.
I won't ever need to use that though, like I
don't need to pay attention to that.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That may not be the case.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
And so talk on that for the public's use in
thoughts around that and being open to those resources in
case they do come to a time when they need it.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Sure, thank you. And we do have over six hundred
locks boxes around the state and it's a twenty four
to seven ability to have access and unfortunately much like
any other medical emergency. The way we think about people
should have an understanding around performing CPR. People should have
an understanding around overdose prevention, because people do overdose in
(13:52):
public spaces all the time, and we have plenty of
anecdotal stories of just a lay person being willing to
carry it in the same way we're willing to understand
how to perform CPR and coming across someone who needs
than a lock zone. It's just a bridge while we
call nine one one and get medical ems to arrive.
(14:12):
But it is an effective bridge because it keeps someone alive.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This is Justin Phillips and she is the founder and
CEO of Overdose a Lifeline again overdoselifeline dot com. We've
got another event that we want to share with you.
It is this evening. It's a candlelight vigil and it
will be from six to eight and justin just a
few details. I'm not sure I know the location and
tell us a little bit more about what guests can expect.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Sure, we start the event at six pm at the
Indiana State Museum in the Great Hall, and we have
light refreshments, and we have a wall where we post
pictures of lost loved ones that have been submitted to us,
So individuals could submit that photo a time, or they're
(15:00):
welcome to bring it tonight, and it's very you know,
very somber. Unfortunately, we're trying to really allow people the
space to gather together and remember their lost loved ones.
And we have a program starting around six point thirty
six forty where we do some guests speaking from elected officials,
we give some awards out to recognize people who are
(15:21):
contributing to making a difference, and then we conclude with
a candlelight visual outside on the terrace with some music,
and then individuals are invited to come to the microphone
and share their loved one's name. You know, one of
the pieces that's very difficult about losing anyone, and of
course losing a child specifically, is that we feel that
(15:44):
they get forgotten. So any opportunity to say their name,
to bring them to anyone's awareness is just super meaningful
to those of us that have lost. Well.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Again, that begins at six o'clock. It is a candlelight
visual and Dan's at the Indiana State Museum and you
our friend justin thank you overdoselifeline dot com. You've accomplished
so much in memory of Aaron and certainly saved lives
and made a difference in this world. And we appreciate
you so much. Thank you for giving us some of
your time today.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Thank you. I appreciate you all letting me talk about it,
and for the opportunity. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
You're always welcome here for sure. All Right, we're going
to get to some news coming up next and some
more here on the first day ninety three, WIBC Danny
just ran down. We've got a guest coming in. We
have two guests. I'm so excited. I am so excited too, Kylin,
what's wrong with what you want to talk about? This song? For?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
This song has taken over everywhere. This song is from
a K pop series that just started streaming on Netflix.
It's called k Pop Demon Hunters, and this song.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Specifically Demon Hunters. That sounds like a good one. I
know it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I haven't seen it myself yet, but this song is
always stuck in my head. It's taken over TikTok, It's
taken over everything. It's now reached number one on every
major chart.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
That's wild. It was a good song from what I heard.
It's pretty catchy. It's cutety catchy. I do like it.
Thank you for keeping us up to date, my little kyline.
You want to explain who's coming up here shortly in
just a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, we just had a grand reopening of a local
shop here in Indy and they're doing more for the
community that we love to spotlight that. And so we're
going to talk to the owner of the restaurant and
then an assistant with it as well to talk about
what's happening, and then their event that's happening next Saturday
that you can come and be involved with.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Beautiful before we take a break, because we're going to
just keep this one short. Longevity is the trend at
the moment with anti aging supplements. You know, all the
cold water plunges and everything everybody's trying to do to
live longer. But according to research by Hormone Health Clinic,
Feel thirty. Feel thirty is everybody doing research. Some states
(17:57):
have a higher life expectancy than others. So where do
rank here in Indiana as far as longevity goes, we
rank twenty ninth among the United States. Indiana residents live
in average of seventy four point six years with men
at seventy one point eight and women at seventy seven
(18:18):
point five. Where in this country do you think that
you live the longest? Hawaii?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Okay, you know what, going to Paradise.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I would be the perfect climate. Hawaii rank's top. They
live seventy nine point nine years. Mississippi ranks last, residents
living almost ten years less than those in Hawaii. You're
living just to sixty nine if you live in Mississippi.
All right, that's cityway.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
How do you feel about that average age for here
in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, I don't like it. I mean, that doesn't seem
like long at all. And let me tell you, the
closer you get to it, the more sad this is,
the more sad the disinformation really is. I'm not even
gonna mention it to Denny. He won't like it at all.
But yeah, we ranked twenty ninth among US states this study,
which analyzed the latest CDC data on life expectancy across
(19:08):
all fifty United States. We've got our next guest set
has just arrived, so we're going to take a break
because we want to spend a lot of time with them.
Is that okay, Kylin, let's do it all right, let's
do It's the first day on ninety three WIBC. Let's
do it, everybody, it's the first day food News. I'm
Terry Denny Kylin in studio with us are two beautiful

in the YouTube, that's right, you can pop up and

Speaker 1 (19:43):
We're going to start out.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
There was a grand reopening of a restaurant called Soul
Food Shack right here in Indianapolis on the east side.
And we have the owner of Soul Food Shack here
with us, Felicia Jones.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Pasha, thank you for being.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And then we also have Covena White who has been
helping out with so much of the background scene, everything, everything. Kavina,
thank you for being here too.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh absolutely absolutely see.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
These ladies know how to dress. They've got color. I
try to bring color into the studio and what do
we get. Everybody's wearing black and white. No, no, you
got to bring color, and the ladies have brought it.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So let's start off here.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
The Soul Food Shock has had a journey so far,
but talk about how the grand reopening went last night.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Felicia, Well, it was awesome last night. We had a
huge turnout. We had we actually ran out of food.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yes, you know, I believe it hearing the reviews. Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yes, we had good food and fun and it was
We had a recording artist there that really sung, did
a good job. We had open mic. We had a
lot of people that was there just from the news
clipping that I had did two days before thanks to
MSS Covina. A lot of people was there just to
(21:01):
support and to hear my testimony.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So do hear your testimony? Yes we can. We hear
your testimony?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Yes, yes you can, please, yes you can.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
So.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I am an entrepreneur. I am the owner of Felicia Jones.
I'm the owner of Soul Food Shack located at one
O five three seven East Washington Street, sweet Bee, and
in that area on the east side, we're really the
only soul food.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yes you are, listen. I live in just to even
blow up farther east on Washington Street, closer to like
the Cumberland area. So we're grateful for anything that comes
out our way, especially if it's if it's you bringing something. Yes,
ma'am so please, and so the soul food restaurant, soul food.
(21:46):
I always wanted to do a soul food restaurant. It
originated from my grandmother. She's from Alabama and my mother's
from Georgia, and soul food back in the slavery days,
they didn't have much. So the food bro look into
the families when they cooked.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
They feel like that was what they had to bring
them together at that time, sitting down eating different types
of food like catfish. While we sell on our menu
sweet potatoes, mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is one
of our best sellers, by the way. And so it
started with a thought. You know, I was like, I'm
gonna opening this restaurant. I'm gonna do this. I'm opening
(22:22):
his restaurant. And at the time I went through something,
my husband was supposed to open it with me. He
just backed the way. You know, things didn't go good.
But I want to motivate the people and tell them
no matter what you go through with keep pushing. As
being the owner of sixteen different businesses, this was my
hardest challenge the restaurant. The restaurant and dri didn't closed
and I met this new manager. We revamped it and
(22:44):
we're trying to get it to be number one, the
number one soul food. And if you got a vision,
don't let no one take that vision from you. Just
keep going and keep pushing and keep pushing. You will
get to where you go. We had a sellout on yesterday.
I had a tour when I first opened it up,
maybe about three years ago. We had some YouTubers come
through there and just blow us away. But I was like,
oh my god, I felt so bad. I was crying.
(23:06):
And at the time the manager I had, he said,
you got to keep pushing, put the negative in a
positive together and still shoot to be successful.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And so it's hard to do though in that when
you're that when you're at that low, you know, and
that's what an influencer can do to you in a minute,
can take you down. But you but you rose above.
I mean you did. You just kept pushing forward and
through that. You mentioned those hard times, did I were
there times when you didn't even have a home to
(23:36):
go to.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yes, it was doing. I'm forty seven now doing my twenties.
I kept trying to make different businesses work. I got
evicted twenty one times, and I want to show twenty
one times I went from welfare one thirty nine a
month one thousand dollars a month in food stamps too.
I actually see it. I'm not seeing it now, but
(23:58):
I know it's gonna come back up to three hundred
thousand dollars a month from the home care and all
the businesses I own. So I want to encourage people.
If you got a vision and if you want to
do it, you could do all things through Christ that
give you strength.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
And I do want to encourage the people that And
that's the only reason that I'm here today. That's the
only reason that I made it because of him. But
I was called insane. I have family members told me
I was insane doing the same thing over and over
getting the same result. But you still because one thing
about an entrepreneur is you can have ten different businesses
(24:31):
and one of those businesses out of the ten can
be successful. Let's say that one is making you the
profit the network that you want each month of one
hundred thousand. The rest of them is making you ten dollars.
They're going to keep pushing and pushing and pushing to
all those businesses is where they want to be. It
they want all those businesses to be the cash cow.
So a lot of people, even my children, they said,
give up on the restaurant. We see you and I
(24:53):
worked through a lot of people don't know my illness.
I have three licking valves from the heart. It's final,
Arthur run, and I'm still pushing. I can do it.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
I'm still taking down.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I know, and it's not and I want people to
know they feel like sometimes they get in different situations.
I can't make this business go. I don to roll
down my plan on paper and I can't manifest it.
And every day what the key is prayer. That's what
I do. I pray over everything and I tell you
it gets me to where I need to be in life.
(25:24):
Even with me Miss Covena, I'm thankful for her because
she got me. And I said, if I could just
tell my testimony, We seventy one thirty one East forty
sixth Street. We also give away pampers. A lot of
people don't know that. I haven't been able to get
out there and tell people I got whole pampers and
wipes because I want to give back because I remember
a time I used to have to go get pampers
and wipes at different churches from my kids. I remember
(25:46):
I used to take food off my plate. My kids
didn't know it. I had five children for our birth
and one of them, her mom, passed away when she
was three. She's twenty one now, and I used to
take food from my plate. They didn't know it and
put it on their plate.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
They can't in their ballet.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Yes, I know how it is to sleep in the car,
and I know how it is to live in a
million dollar home. So I've been there. I've been from
zero to one hundred, and I still keep trusting him.
I'm still not where I want to be at, but
I thank God, I'm pushing to where I need to
be at. And if I can influence and if I
can help somebody else, that's my passion, that's my dream.
(26:22):
That's what I want to let people know they can
do it. With the restaurant. I still we're open Tuesday
through Saturday. Now we have new hours of operation from
twelve to six. And when I tell you, it brought
so many people in from when I said I had
got evicted twenty one times. One girl she said, hey,
I've been so embarrassed about being evicted, and I can't
(26:44):
believe that you really shared that. Now I feel comfortable
with telling you can I have help with my rent?
I say, yes, you can, Yes, you can, even if
I don't have. I have gave the shoes off my
feet before, and we're home barefoot. As I'm going my
daughter said, we're your shoes, and I said, well, they
didn't have no shoes.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I gave it to your heart.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Oh my goodness, you said, you're You're not where you
want to be. Amazing Yet this is the owner of
Soul Food Shack. You need to go visit them over
on East Washington Street. Felicia Jones entrepreneur across so many
facets of life, and you are helping the community. But
you also have helped behind the scenes too. Kavina White,
I'm gonna bring you into the conversation to talk a
little bit about how you joined this journey as well.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yes, so by the grace of God, Like Felicia said,
it was God ordained for us to meet. If I
can say I wrote a book for someone, I have
a literary arts company called Kavianiche Writes, and so I
write books, we do business plans, ghost write, screenwriting, film
writing all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
So Felicia.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
God brought Felicia to me, I believe, and me to her,
and I'm writing her story as well. But when I
tell you, just watching her on day to day, you know,
some people just kind of say things, right, but her
actions and her words aligned. I mean, she is just
such a I mean, I think it was made conversation
number two. We're like, I love you, sister story to God. Like, yes,
(28:07):
I mean, I just you know, I love all of
my clients, right, you know, when I'm writing books and
ghost writing and editing and all.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That, but it's just some that just you know, it's
from the poor.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Like I feel like we've known each other for years
and so that's how we became acquainted. But we are
like we've been in the spirit acquainted for years.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
It feels like.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
But I saw what she does, and I'm like, you
know what, this girl deserves her flowers. Now.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
She's an amazing woman of God. She has personally helped me.
I've seen her help.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Other people by way of giving food to the community
and things when people are in need. You see what
I'm saying. She's one of those friends when and I'll
just say this listen, giving you your flowers when you
say you have a need. And I called her and
told her to pray with me about something. I said,
I got this date, I have to pay this, I
have to do this. And you know what she said
to me, I got you, sister, and she don't you
(28:57):
worry about it. So just and that's what my personal tes.
Some money with her, but just seeing her in action
with her family, you know, her children, all the things
that she does, you know, with her mother, and all
the businesses that she has, but still being present, you know,
being able to pivot and be present.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But guess what she does over all of those things.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
She gives glory to God.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Yeah, she is a God fear and woman, you know,
and you have to support that. And so I mean,
now we're like partners. You know. It's my sister in Christ.
And like I said, I just had it in my
heart and spirit to say, you know what, let's put
together this open mic celebration and ribbon cutting. And she
said for me, listen, you deserve more than that. But
just to let more people know about the Soulful Shack
(29:37):
as well, because the food is absolutely the food.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Is awesome, but it always it always. I love knowing
who's behind the fare there you go, yes, because that
can make a difference and it can be difference difference
where you.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Go and the food. Oh sorry to me to cut
you off. You know, it's always're saying the food like
you can tell the love behind like when you come in.
It's a great atmosphere. Everybody's talking loving when I'm there.
I don't work there really, but I do, you know,
because I'm like welcome to the shot.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
But it's just amazing what she does.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
And like I said, I just wanted to do what
I could with the capabilities that God has given me
to pour back into her because she poisoned to me
too God.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So Denny got any questions for this too?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I want to know about your grandmother's recipe book? How
much did you get from grandmother?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
My grandmother left and my mother that's still living now,
God bless her.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
She's made it off the ventilator.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
She's pushing. She's a pastor and she I just went
through recently some things with her, but she's in the
bed and she's talking them so to all praises close
to him, and she give me the recipes from her mother.
So we got red velvet cake, we got Southern chicken

I'm trying to get it into Walmart. And so a

lot of the family recipes is there, the fried corn,
some of the stuff that we're finna add to the menu. So, yes,
Lucy Snow did it. They didn't even have They couldn't
even make a fire. They had to take wood and
go chop it and make a fire to cook with it.
So that's what they had to do. So she knows
how to cook Southern South food.

It's in the right next to Hobby Lobby the same
line as well.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Well, that's where you are. I couldn't tell the address,
but I knew you're next to the hobby lobby. Yes,
oh good, okay, good, good, good, which is in the
Walmart area. Everybody on the East Side, you know where
you're going Hobby Lobby? And do you have a website
or on social media and all that good stuff where
people can google it?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
But we do have new hours. I want to express
because a lot of people say the hours is right now,
we're Tuesday through Saturday, twelve to six.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, Tuesday through Saturday, tell the six.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
So there's only one exception for the open mic Saturday
five to seven. So we're just doing that as a
specialty for the event.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
All right, gotcha? Oh boy, I'm amazed at you. I
am in awe of you of what you have accomplished
in your young life. If you're not able to watch
us on YouTube, she's very young, what are you twenty
five thirty's she's really accomplished so much. And again that
roller coaster ride. But you're right where you're supposed to be.
(34:24):
You're right where you're supposed to be, and you're feeding
us on the east side, and we're grateful that you're there. Kylin.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
We have two about two minutes left, so if there's
anything else with Felicia, do you have any hopes for
this next event and on for Soul Food Check that
you want to share?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Yes, I hope to see more people out.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I do want to let get another sellout, yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yes, and I do when I just want to let
people know that at the end of each month, I
take or either one day or work and I help
people with their meals. I try to sew back into
the community what they put in there, so like people
that's in need, because I know how it was before
and a lot of people don't know that. We do
(35:05):
take fun. I take ten percent out of everything I
make for the month and give it back to a
family to help them. But I do want to see
this be very successful. I do want to see as
it was last at last Heurday yesterday. I do want
to see a lot of people come out and just eat,
have fun, no violence, just eat, drink and be merry.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
The more that come out, the more she's able to
help others. Yes, because you essentially when you're coming and
having some good food, you are helping others and you
don't even maybe even know it, but yeah, you continue
on with what you're doing. She's fantastic. Thank you. Please
know that you're always welcome here. If there's anything that
we can do for you or get to word out
or fundraisers or whatever you're doing, please know you're always
(35:48):
welcome here. Really great.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Then Felicia Jones go follow her specifically as well on
social media. She has her own platform. And then Covina
White as well. I mean, heck go and following that
they're doing, because it's not just this, it's so much else.
You guys are change makers in the community, so I
appreciate all that you guys are doing for it.
