C K and Carmen. It's beninety five Friends Knows Home for hip hop
and hits. You know, Ilove when we sit down and we talk
about events that are about giving backto the community. Comments Yes, I
mean, and honestly, this isa fifth time we're doing this with our
boy Edward. Welcome. Thank youso much for being here, and thank
you so much for me. Whenyou first started this, you had a
(00:20):
vision. Obviously you thought this issomething I want to be able to get
back to my community. This isand then you love shoes, so your
your shoe head, which is whythis kind of like clicked right. Yeah.
Yeah, I've always noticed kids shoes, um sneakerhead like like you said,
but I always watch kids shoes.I used to work for friend Nan
Unified, so it was the firstthing. Um, you always look at
(00:41):
shoes. So um. I usedto notice some of the kids that were
that I worked with that were veryum unresponsive outside but inside the class they
would be, you know, talkingto me and then agu outside and I
watched the shoes like, oh,hold on one second, because just hearing
that, yeah, it made merealize one thing. It's almost like your
(01:03):
shoe game is your confidence level.Yes, and especially in certain certain environments
and certain communities, if your kicksaren't on points, you don't feel confident.
Like you said, in the classroom, everything was all good, but
once they had to walk the hallways, once they had to be around friends,
once they had to socialize, ifthey didn't feel confident about what was
(01:25):
on their feet. Yeah, Imean, unfortunately that says a lot about
our society. But I think it'simportant that we as parents and we as
people in the community say what canwe do to help build that confidence?
And you pointed out one thing andmaybe a lot of folks overlooked the shoe
game. And I love that you'redoing that. Yeah, yeah, you're
sir. So um, like Isaid, it's it's in and like you
(01:49):
said, you you really hit onit. The confidence just would be you
know, I like you. SoI went to one specifically and to ask
some me like, man, youfunny man, I've seen you in class.
