Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Paula Kendrick will be honored as the Individual Champion for
Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash, is part of the
Boys and Girls Club of Carson's annual gala, which will
be held at Solfi Stadium. She is a founder of
CMP Risk Management Consultants. Through her visionary leadership on the
Resource Development and Governance committees, she has spearheaded revenue boosting initiatives,
(00:28):
bringing in historic peer to peer funding and expanding the
Boys and Girls Club's ability to serve more kids. Again
full disclosure, I will be the MC for the Blue
Door Bash gala on Saturday evening and I look forward
to meeting Miss Kendrick in person then, but she joins
me now on the show. Miss Kendrick, A pleasure to
meet you this evening.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I'm great. Thank you for that great introduction.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's your great introduction because it's all about you, and
speaking about you, you know a little something about southern California.
As a graduate of both cal Poly Pomona and a
Certificate in Executive Leadership from USC's Marshall School, of business.
Are you originally from the LA area?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Actually, I'm from Chino. I've been in Long Beach since
nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I still love it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What about Long Beach or Chino, Southern California more generally,
did you fall in love with It's one thing to
grow up here, but it's another thing to stay here
and put roots here and help people write where you are.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
You know, it's the only place where you can go
to the mountains and the ocean in the same day.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
You know, the food.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
I'm a food eat I love to eat, and there's
tons of great restaurants, you know, and the people are
just amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Beyond your work with the Boys and Girls Club of Carson,
you also served on the board of HFS Adoption in
Foster Care, which facilitates the most infant and child options
of any private agency here in California. I'm sensing a
theme here as it relates to caring about children.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know, I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I have no children of my own, but I've always
had an affinity to the youth and developing them. You're
drawn to me as well, you know, So I don't
know that that there is definitely.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
A being there.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What have you noticed or have you noticed anything which
may have changed over the years. You've been here for
quite some time, but I would say young people have
changed as the world around them has changed. There are
more distractions in regard to technology, there are more factors
impacting their growth, for let's say, violence to school shootings.
(02:47):
You know, what have you noticed about how youth have
changed over the years.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
There's so many things, like you said, the distractions, not
playing outside, not having that care free existence that I
experience as a child, you know, being able to leave
the door unlocked. I was a latch key kid, so
we stayed at home and you really can't do that
these days.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And it takes so much.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
To survive in this economy that your parents are always
at work and so the kids are basically raising themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You talk about a latch key kid, and I know
there's someone listening who doesn't know that reference. There was
a generation once upon a time where kids had their
own keys to the house and they would come and
go because parents would work until maybe five o'clock, So
kids would walk themselves to school and also walk themselves home,
then get home, turn on the TV, watch the cartoons,
but care for themselves in the time between. That's another
(03:48):
example of how this world has changed.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You may not have any children yourself, but I'm quite
sure you may find yourself in these children. What is
it you want recognize in what young people are looking
for today, hungry for or hoping to find?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You know, there's a hopefulness there, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
And when I first got involved with the Boys and
Girls Club, it was through my friend Paul Trover, who's
the current vice president.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
He hounded me for years to join this board.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
And finally I just gave in and he invited me
to the Youth of the Year competition, and I was
completely hooked. But a lot of times I think we
don't see ourselves, you know, we don't see our greatness,
our goodness.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But the kids do. You know.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
When they were reading their speeches and their essays, which
was incredible, I mean it was like adorable. They're so smart,
so driven, but they've started asking me questions about myself
and you can just see their eyes light up, and
I was like, wow, Like I could really do something
here to develop these kids. Outside of supporting the club economically,
(05:09):
everybody has a set of skills gifts that they can
share with these kids, and they're really hungry for that.
Like I said, I saw a lot of myself in them.
I want to help them avoid some of the pitfalls
that I encountered, being different triggers and microaggressions and things
(05:31):
that a lot of minority youth have to endure in
their young lives that will actually carry into their adulthood.
You were at the event last year, which was my
first event, and you heard young Andrew speak about some
of the challenges he has faced. Now that's a kid
(05:52):
that he's from my site that I've adopted lots of
Markham School that has tremendous potential. And he talked about,
you know, going to a different school in the valley
I believe it was, and how he was the only
African American student at that school and something come up
missing and they always blamed him, you know, and how
(06:15):
that you know, made him basically suicidal, you know. And
I want to reach some of that too, like that
is never really going to go away. As an entrepreneur,
like in my work, usually the only woman and the
only minority. So those are things that we're going to
have to instill in the kids. And a lot of
(06:35):
the programs help with that. And then going back to Andrews,
he spoke about his experiences and how he was suicidal.
He is youth that the year two times in a row,
and one of the deputy councilmen from the Watson district
saw him speak at his last competition. It was so impressively.
(06:56):
We're offering him internships. So that is the beauty of
this program. Like I never knew it was so expansive
until I got involved. I thought it was just this
is where they go after school and just because their
parents are at work or way howie. But they learned
tremendous skills, speaking skills, which is that is a jewel
(07:20):
in and of itself.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
If you can do public speaking, you can do a.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Gamut of things at.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
All kinds of things, you know, But that's a skill
that they learn through these programs. You know, they learn
to write, and they're very compassionate toward one another. That
was one of the things that really affected me, seeing
how they supported each other. When Andrew won, all of
the contestants just embraced him.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
There were tears. I mean, it was very emotional for me.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
And I'm not necessarily an emotional type person.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's the voice of Paula Kendrick, who will be honored
as Individual Champion for Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash
as part of the Boys and Girls Club of Carson's
annual gala. We'll have more with Paula Kendrick in just
a moment. This is Later with mo Kelly. I Am
six forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And I'm right in the middle of a conversation with
Paula Kendrick, who will be honored as the Individual Champion
for Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash gala as part
of the Boys and Girls Club of Carson's annual fundraiser.
I will serve as the MC on Saturday, and Paula,
let me bring you back into the conversation. You touched
upon a number of things last segment talking about the
(08:42):
precarious journey my phrase that children may travel on their
way to adulthood, and if they should stray off that path,
any number of things could happen. That's what I would
take from what you said. But also as part of
your work. You've seen the other side of straying from
that path, what that could lead to. You've taught for
years at the Union Rescue Mission on skid Row. What
(09:04):
fuels your passion is what I would call it for
people more generally, you.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Know, there's really nothing useless in serving other people. You know,
you're building communities, you're strengthening families. So I am very
much drawn to that.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And I just.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Feel like certain people are having neat skills in that area,
you know, And I've all boos been john to that,
and I'm grateful that I have the resources to support
a lot of these outreaches.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And that's the capacity to do it too.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You live your creed. You are actually walking that path.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Your dedication to people, as I would phrase it, extends
beyond just southern California. Your philanthropy has also helped secure
funding for clean water for thousands of children and families
in Uganda.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Please tell me about that.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
So I went to Vanda aviadge traveler.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
So I was in Uganda gorilla trekking, actually tracking the
gorillas in the forest, and I would see these women
and kids walking for miles and miles with these buckets on.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Their heads, and I'm like, where are they coming from?
Where are they going?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
And so the gentleman that was driving I said, Oh,
they're going to get water, and I'm like, oh, okay.
So I saw where they were drawing this water from.
I'm still to this day stunn that they're drinking that,
you know, And so it really bothered me. And I
started talking more with some of the local people and
(10:41):
the driver about it, and they were directing me to
people that had helped me help the community. So we
put one well in one of the villages there and
the well serves about a thousand people.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
That is amazing. And I want to somehow and I
want to let you do it. I want you to
combine what your vocation is as far as risk management
with what I think is your invocation, your love and
desire to help people. How do you blend or how
does it come together? How does it meet?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
So what I do.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
In this company or what we do here is we
manage risk for larger insurance group captives, that kind of thing,
and with a primary emphasis and workers' compensation. So that's
a huge expense on the P and L for a
a lot of these companies and if that exposure isn't
(11:42):
managed correctly, they spend a lot more money funding that
line of insurance.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Let me jump in there, just because we can't assume
everyone's taken accounting like you and me, profit and loss
correct correct, Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
And so what we do is manage that population of
claims so effectively that their insurance premiums are reduced. What
that does it puts more liquidity into the company, into
the employees, into benefits for them, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
There's nothing useless in serving others. I remember you said
something to that effect, and I saw you light up
when you say that. What is a good day for
you is helping someone? Is it a specific result with
a company? What makes you light up?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Food?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You want to get on my good side, Bring me
some food, That's one thing. But affecting someone's bottom line,
you know, in a positive way, And a lot of
times I don't even really know that I'm doing that.
So eliminating a concern for an employer, eliminating a concern
for a parent, a student, you know, a community, those
(12:58):
are the things.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
That really drive me.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Food and helping others.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Out of those two things, and travel, I love it
I travel. Okay, do you have a favorite continent or
a favorite location.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I think once you've been to Africa, it's it's life changing.
I've been to a lot of places, and every time
I think of Africa and the African continent, it's just
the stunning landscape. I will never forget ascending into the
Serengeti and seeing like animals just everywhere, you know. So
(13:34):
I think that has left a lasting impression on me.
And I almost bought some property in Cape Town. I
loved it so much, but then I thought, realistically, how
often am I.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Going to get over there?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So wise words from someone who's dedicated her life to
helping people write wherever they are. She is Paula Kendrick
and she will be honored as the Individual Champion for
Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash as part of the
Boys and Girls Club of Carson's annual Blue Door Bash Gala,
and It'll be held this Saturday at Sofi Stadium. I'll
(14:07):
be there's the MC but for more information, you can
go to Bgccrson dot org for more information. Mis Kendrick
is a pleasure to meet you, at least informally. I
know we probably crossed paths last year at the Blue
Dour Bash, But now I get to really make your
acquaintance this Saturday. Congratulations to you and much more success
(14:28):
to you thanks thisz platform.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I wanted to circle back to a conversation that we
had been having about Beyonce's foray into country music. We
knew that Beyonce may do something like this because she's
never one album of the Year, and I thought, I know,
Tualla thought that if you were to do a country album,
it could spark the imagination of at least Grammy Academy
(14:59):
voters to consider her for Album of the Year.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Now the CMAS, they said no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Not only was she not nominated, more and more people
are speaking out. And I say this knowing full well
that the Cowboy Carter album received a lot of country
music airplay, but without going into all the inner machinations
of how airplay actually works, and it's not a function
of people calling in and requests the song. Just know
(15:29):
that don't equate airplay with awards. That's the first thing.
And we also said the last time we talked about this,
about whether Beyonce was actually snubbed or the reasons behind it.
I made the argument that Beyonce did not do what
she needed to do as an artist to provide what
we call artists support for records at these various stations.
(15:52):
I talked about how artists usually when they're supporting a record,
they will go to the station and do interviews, I
mean each and every station. They will do flyaway, They'll
do promotions and giveaways. That is what we call supporting
the music at the station. In other words, the stations
which play the music gets something out of it, and
you endear yourself to not only the station it's listeners,
(16:14):
but the larger music community for that genre.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Beyonce, for the most part, didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
She basically dropped off the music and through promotions channels
got the music played, but did not provide the artist
support that radio stations would need or want. And Luke
Brian is now weighing in on this conversation surrounding Beyonce's
lack of CMA Award nominations for her Cowboy Carter album,
(16:44):
and this is what Luke Brian had to say, quote,
it's a tricky question because obviously Beyonce made a country album,
and Beyonce has a lot of fans out there that
have her back, and if she doesn't get something they want, man,
they come after you, as fans should do, just because
she made one, as in a country album, just because
I make one, I don't get any nominations. Close quote,
(17:07):
what do you think about this? To wall As far
as Beyonce, we agree on her not getting the CMA nominations,
but as to why do you agree with me?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
I agree because I agree with Luke Brian and this
is something that we have been saying all along. Beyonce
can do whatever she wants. This is not and at
no point has been about us saying she cannot do
a country album. Because she did it and her fans
love it, but country fans looked at it as Okay, Beyonce,
(17:45):
who we all know and love for the music Beyonce does,
did a country album, but she's never once in her
career done anything to embrace the country music community. So
we're looking at it like, oh, okay, that was cool,
that was novel that was a novelty album. You're not
seriously coming into this world. And Luke Brian is acknowledging
(18:09):
the fact that if Beyonce wanted to be taken seriously,
she needed to make herself available and become a part
of the country world. Brian went on to say, quote,
everybody loved that Beyonce made a country album, nobody's mad
about it. But where things get a little tricky. If
you're gonna make country albums, come into our world and
(18:31):
be country with us for a little bit. Like Beyonce
can do whatever she wants, she's probably the biggest star
in music, but come to an award showing high five
of us and have fun and get to know the
family too. And I'm not saying that she didn't do
any of that, but country music is a lot about family,
and I don't know if country radio or the country
(18:52):
music audience looked at her as if she was really
trying to become part of the family, or if she
was trying to get some level of award recognition on
a larger scale. And I think that's what a lot
of people don't understand about Beyonce's country album and why
it wasn't nominated.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, the country music genre is much more closed in
that family type setting where everyone knows everyone rap is
less like it like that.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Let me make a parallel.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You can have an artist like Maclamore who has a
hit and can even win a Grammy Award, but it's
not going to be accepted within the rap family specifically
because I see it as cultural tourism. You know, you
are borrowing from the genre. You're not part of the genre.
And Beyonce bless her Heart is not part of the
(19:44):
country genre. She just did some country songs and they
were played on the radio, but no one precees her
as a country artist. And I don't think anyone legitimately
thinks that she was trying to immerse herself in the
country family.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, and and I really take umbridge at individuals who
are signed trying to say that it was because she
was black. When you look at someone like Shaboozie, who
has the bar song, the the Tipsy I called the
Tipsy remake, but the Tipsy song, and he is widely
accepted by country. You have someone like Darius Rutger Poer Rutcker,
(20:26):
you know what I'm saying, so exactly where I was going,
who is probably more well known within the country world
than he is in that Uh what was it maybe
smooth rock that he was? He was a hoody in
the Blowfish It's it's so. It's one of those that,
again you look at someone who for their entire career
has been known widely within the realm of R and B,
(20:48):
has never done anything country until she came out with
what was it that that Daddy's Girl performance.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
With the with the Dixie Chicks.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
I believe it was, And that was one of those
Oh that's interesting, but it was interesting like Nelly coming
out and doing a rap song at the Country Music Awards.
Nellie wasn't all of a sudden welcomed into the country
world and saying, hey, Nellie, you're one of us. Even
though Nellie has always embraced what country grammar, there are fine,
(21:17):
fine lines to this and when it comes to music
being accepted, it is the exact same as And tell
me when this happens.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
If Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Does a rap album, Let's see how many awards she
wins for that. Probably none because people will look at
that as like, Okay, Taylor Swift is rapping, good for her,
not going to be nominated for any rap awards, sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And Taylor Swift will probably get a lot of airplay,
and I don't want to get too inside baseball with
radio stations, but she would get a lot of play
on CHR stations and crossover stations, but would not get
the airplay on the true urban stations and would not
get the true love from the urban music genre. Now well,
(22:05):
people push her away, no, but they wouldn't readily accept her.
And her fans would clamor for it, but it wouldn't
mean it would be recognized with the awards, like you
were saying, Tuala, and this is something which people sometimes forget.
Taylor Swift, to your point, was originally a country artist.
It's about how people first know you and come to
(22:26):
know you and how they will continue to support you.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Maclamore, I don't know where.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
He is now, but he's not doing anything in rap
music and that kind of like confirms the point. Beyonce,
when she's done with this album, I don't know if
she's gonna do anything else in country because it feels contrived,
like it's for a Grammy Album of the Year.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I may be wrong, but I doubt it.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Yeah, it definitely feels like that, and I know, to
Beyonce's credit, she said that she was very serious about that,
and I don't doubt her for a minute. I just
and this is something that I don't even think Beyonce
is unaware of. This is more for those who are
unaware in the fans, who are screaming at radio stations
(23:14):
and screaming at country music awards. It's like you all
have to understand that there are levels to how the
music industry works. You're hearing it from two individuals who
have worked long, long, long long hours, days, weeks years
in the music industry, so we have a little bit
of an idea of what we are talking about. I
(23:35):
can tell you for a fact, when not tell us
which it was Britney Spears. Britney Spears had dropped. I
think it was a pharal remix of one of her songs,
and the promotions of Department from her label brought it
to our station, which was a what a hip hop
R and B station, and we looked at that record
(23:56):
like it was a led fart. Why because it's not
going to to go off well with our audience. Yes,
they may know who Britney Spears is, but there's no
way they want to hear Britney Spears music over someone
like a Beyonce.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
When we come back, We're going to close with thoughts
on Jonathan Majors having a reprieve with one of his
projects which was shelved. Will this breathe new life into
his career or further confirm that he is Yesterday's news.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Forty Jam.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Natam Jam.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's Later with mo Kelly live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
You may not have heard about the movie called Magazine
Dreams because it never got released. It was shelved in
the wake of the allegations which turned into an eventual
criminal conviction of actor Jonathan Majors. His brand was toxic
(25:03):
for how long no one was sure, But now it
seems like someone is least going to get an opportunity
to find out if his brand, the Jonathan Major's name,
can make money or whether he is a bankable commodity. Now,
Magazine Dreams has finally received a new distributor and release window,
(25:24):
and it's been eight months since it had any shot
of being released to the general public. Jonathan Major Stars
is a troubled aspiring bodybuilder who continues to take steroids
despite his doctor's warnings that they are destroying his liver,
alongside a cast that also includes Haley Bennett, Taylor Page,
(25:45):
Michael Hearn, a bunch of people we never heard of.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
So it's going to live and die. Relative to Jonathan Majors.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I don't know if Jonathan Majors will ever become the
star that he was originally on the path to be coming.
I don't know if he'll ever be able to get
that back. I'm not talking about the Marvel deal. I'm
just talking about the trajectory of super stardom that he
was on because many times it's more than just your talent,
(26:14):
it's more timing as well. He's no less talented now
than he was then. He's just perceived very differently, and
we all know that he has the talent, but I
don't know if people will ever see him the same way.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
And honestly, I'm not so interested in seeing magazine dreams,
and that's anecdotal. I'm just one person, I'm not a
bunch of people.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But I wonder if anyone will care about what Jonathan
Majors does next.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Maybe I'm wrong see.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Now, and you know this is this is almost like
a testing the waters release, And I believe that because
it's not being released by a major studio. You know,
it was dropped from Disney subsidy or subsidiary twenty Century Fox.
I believe Fox. It was like a company that or Searchlight.
(27:06):
Searchlight was going to put it out. And because Disney
parted ways with him from his role as king, they say,
you know, we're also not going to be a part
of distributing this magazine dreams. Now it's being picked up
by what is it Barrocliff who Briercliffe Entertainment, right, exactly
who are they and who is that? Except for the
(27:29):
company that's also the distributor of the Donald Trump dramatization
The Apprentice. So this is a company that is practicing
in putting out controversial projects kind of to see what
people think in too, you know, shock the World or whatever.
So this is more of a hey, we may be
(27:51):
able to do something with this, but does this company
have enough strength behind to really get this film in theaters,
to get people well to see it to the point
where it's going to make a difference in his relative
exodus from Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I don't know if this is going to be the one.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, and part of the issue I think is they
have to rehab his persona, his profile. But the only
way that can be done, I think is through Jonathan
Major's We're not talking about someone who just chose to
leave the scene. We're talking about someone who was convicted
(28:30):
of assaulting his ex girlfriend. And it's going to require
us liking the person as well as liking the talent.
What I mean by that, it's different from let's say
Robert Downey Jr. Where he got into all this trouble,
but it wasn't like he was hurting people or perceived
as physically hurting people, so then they could just look
(28:50):
at it at it from a talent perspective. Oh wow,
he was great in Ironman. I loved Iron Man. Robert
Downey Junior's back. I don't think it's going to be
the same. And you've seen this, and this is again
another example of there is no cancel culture. Jonathan Majors
will have a career, he will get jobs, he will
do things. I just don't think he will do on
(29:12):
the level that he was doing or was expected to do.
The same is true for Kevin Spacey. The same is
true for any of these other actors who are quote
unquote canceled, but they eventually come back, like a Mel Gibson.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Mel Gibson is still acting. He'll never be what he was.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Part of that is age, but part of that is
also you know that people are not going to offer
the types of roles that he originally had, and I
think that's true with Jonathan Major's and you only have
a small window to be a superstar in Hollywood, with
the exception of people like Tom Cruise who go against
you know, all type of rules, the exception which proves
(29:50):
the rule. Jonathan Majors I think missed his shot. And
I don't know if this movie, and he's welcome to
prove me wrong. I don't know if this movie will
be enough to put him back on that trajectory. And
I think is still going to be a long, long process.
But tomorrow, you know what's coming up tomorrow. For those
(30:10):
who want to go to the party we tried to
tell you earlier. If you want to come to the
exclusive pre Halloween soire a, you know what you need

Paula Kendrick will be honored as the Individual Champion for
Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash, is part of the
Boys and Girls Club of Carson's annual gala, which will
be held at Solfi Stadium. She is a founder of
CMP Risk Management Consultants. Through her visionary leadership on the
Resource Development and Governance committees, she has spearheaded revenue boosting initiatives,
(00:28):
bringing in historic peer to peer funding and expanding the
Boys and Girls Club's ability to serve more kids. Again
full disclosure, I will be the MC for the Blue
Door Bash gala on Saturday evening and I look forward
to meeting Miss Kendrick in person then, but she joins
me now on the show. Miss Kendrick, A pleasure to
meet you this evening.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I'm great. Thank you for that great introduction.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's your great introduction because it's all about you, and
speaking about you, you know a little something about southern California.
As a graduate of both cal Poly Pomona and a
Certificate in Executive Leadership from USC's Marshall School, of business.
Are you originally from the LA area?
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Actually, I'm from Chino. I've been in Long Beach since
nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I still love it.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
What about Long Beach or Chino, Southern California more generally,
did you fall in love with It's one thing to
grow up here, but it's another thing to stay here
and put roots here and help people write where you are.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
You know, it's the only place where you can go
to the mountains and the ocean in the same day.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
You know, the food.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
I'm a food eat I love to eat, and there's
tons of great restaurants, you know, and the people are
just amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Beyond your work with the Boys and Girls Club of Carson,
you also served on the board of HFS Adoption in
Foster Care, which facilitates the most infant and child options
of any private agency here in California. I'm sensing a
theme here as it relates to caring about children.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know, I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I have no children of my own, but I've always
had an affinity to the youth and developing them. You're
drawn to me as well, you know, So I don't
know that that there is definitely.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
A being there.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
What have you noticed or have you noticed anything which
may have changed over the years. You've been here for
quite some time, but I would say young people have
changed as the world around them has changed. There are
more distractions in regard to technology, there are more factors
impacting their growth, for let's say, violence to school shootings.
(02:47):
You know, what have you noticed about how youth have
changed over the years.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
There's so many things, like you said, the distractions, not
playing outside, not having that care free existence that I
experience as a child, you know, being able to leave
the door unlocked. I was a latch key kid, so
we stayed at home and you really can't do that
these days.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And it takes so much.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
To survive in this economy that your parents are always
at work and so the kids are basically raising themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You talk about a latch key kid, and I know
there's someone listening who doesn't know that reference. There was
a generation once upon a time where kids had their
own keys to the house and they would come and
go because parents would work until maybe five o'clock, So
kids would walk themselves to school and also walk themselves home,
then get home, turn on the TV, watch the cartoons,
but care for themselves in the time between. That's another
(03:48):
example of how this world has changed.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You may not have any children yourself, but I'm quite
sure you may find yourself in these children. What is
it you want recognize in what young people are looking
for today, hungry for or hoping to find?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You know, there's a hopefulness there, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
And when I first got involved with the Boys and
Girls Club, it was through my friend Paul Trover, who's
the current vice president.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
He hounded me for years to join this board.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
And finally I just gave in and he invited me
to the Youth of the Year competition, and I was
completely hooked. But a lot of times I think we
don't see ourselves, you know, we don't see our greatness,
our goodness.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But the kids do. You know.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
When they were reading their speeches and their essays, which
was incredible, I mean it was like adorable. They're so smart,
so driven, but they've started asking me questions about myself
and you can just see their eyes light up, and
I was like, wow, Like I could really do something
here to develop these kids. Outside of supporting the club economically,
(05:09):
everybody has a set of skills gifts that they can
share with these kids, and they're really hungry for that.
Like I said, I saw a lot of myself in them.
I want to help them avoid some of the pitfalls
that I encountered, being different triggers and microaggressions and things
(05:31):
that a lot of minority youth have to endure in
their young lives that will actually carry into their adulthood.
You were at the event last year, which was my
first event, and you heard young Andrew speak about some
of the challenges he has faced. Now that's a kid
(05:52):
that he's from my site that I've adopted lots of
Markham School that has tremendous potential. And he talked about,
you know, going to a different school in the valley
I believe it was, and how he was the only
African American student at that school and something come up
missing and they always blamed him, you know, and how
(06:15):
that you know, made him basically suicidal, you know. And
I want to reach some of that too, like that
is never really going to go away. As an entrepreneur,
like in my work, usually the only woman and the
only minority. So those are things that we're going to
have to instill in the kids. And a lot of
(06:35):
the programs help with that. And then going back to Andrews,
he spoke about his experiences and how he was suicidal.
He is youth that the year two times in a row,
and one of the deputy councilmen from the Watson district
saw him speak at his last competition. It was so impressively.
(06:56):
We're offering him internships. So that is the beauty of
this program. Like I never knew it was so expansive
until I got involved. I thought it was just this
is where they go after school and just because their
parents are at work or way howie. But they learned
tremendous skills, speaking skills, which is that is a jewel
(07:20):
in and of itself.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
If you can do public speaking, you can do a.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Gamut of things at.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
All kinds of things, you know, But that's a skill
that they learn through these programs. You know, they learn
to write, and they're very compassionate toward one another. That
was one of the things that really affected me, seeing
how they supported each other. When Andrew won, all of
the contestants just embraced him.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
There were tears. I mean, it was very emotional for me.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
And I'm not necessarily an emotional type person.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's the voice of Paula Kendrick, who will be honored
as Individual Champion for Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash
as part of the Boys and Girls Club of Carson's
annual gala. We'll have more with Paula Kendrick in just
a moment. This is Later with mo Kelly. I Am
six forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And I'm right in the middle of a conversation with
Paula Kendrick, who will be honored as the Individual Champion
for Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash gala as part
of the Boys and Girls Club of Carson's annual fundraiser.
I will serve as the MC on Saturday, and Paula,
let me bring you back into the conversation. You touched
upon a number of things last segment talking about the
(08:42):
precarious journey my phrase that children may travel on their
way to adulthood, and if they should stray off that path,
any number of things could happen. That's what I would
take from what you said. But also as part of
your work. You've seen the other side of straying from
that path, what that could lead to. You've taught for
years at the Union Rescue Mission on skid Row. What
(09:04):
fuels your passion is what I would call it for
people more generally, you.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Know, there's really nothing useless in serving other people. You know,
you're building communities, you're strengthening families. So I am very
much drawn to that.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And I just.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Feel like certain people are having neat skills in that area,
you know, And I've all boos been john to that,
and I'm grateful that I have the resources to support
a lot of these outreaches.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And that's the capacity to do it too.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You live your creed. You are actually walking that path.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Your dedication to people, as I would phrase it, extends
beyond just southern California. Your philanthropy has also helped secure
funding for clean water for thousands of children and families
in Uganda.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Please tell me about that.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
So I went to Vanda aviadge traveler.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
So I was in Uganda gorilla trekking, actually tracking the
gorillas in the forest, and I would see these women
and kids walking for miles and miles with these buckets on.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Their heads, and I'm like, where are they coming from?
Where are they going?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
And so the gentleman that was driving I said, Oh,
they're going to get water, and I'm like, oh, okay.
So I saw where they were drawing this water from.
I'm still to this day stunn that they're drinking that,
you know, And so it really bothered me. And I
started talking more with some of the local people and
(10:41):
the driver about it, and they were directing me to
people that had helped me help the community. So we
put one well in one of the villages there and
the well serves about a thousand people.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
That is amazing. And I want to somehow and I
want to let you do it. I want you to
combine what your vocation is as far as risk management
with what I think is your invocation, your love and
desire to help people. How do you blend or how
does it come together? How does it meet?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
So what I do.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
In this company or what we do here is we
manage risk for larger insurance group captives, that kind of thing,
and with a primary emphasis and workers' compensation. So that's
a huge expense on the P and L for a
a lot of these companies and if that exposure isn't
(11:42):
managed correctly, they spend a lot more money funding that
line of insurance.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Let me jump in there, just because we can't assume
everyone's taken accounting like you and me, profit and loss
correct correct, Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
And so what we do is manage that population of
claims so effectively that their insurance premiums are reduced. What
that does it puts more liquidity into the company, into
the employees, into benefits for them, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
There's nothing useless in serving others. I remember you said
something to that effect, and I saw you light up
when you say that. What is a good day for
you is helping someone? Is it a specific result with
a company? What makes you light up?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Food?
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You want to get on my good side, Bring me
some food, That's one thing. But affecting someone's bottom line,
you know, in a positive way, And a lot of
times I don't even really know that I'm doing that.
So eliminating a concern for an employer, eliminating a concern
for a parent, a student, you know, a community, those
(12:58):
are the things.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
That really drive me.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Food and helping others.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Out of those two things, and travel, I love it
I travel. Okay, do you have a favorite continent or
a favorite location.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
I think once you've been to Africa, it's it's life changing.
I've been to a lot of places, and every time
I think of Africa and the African continent, it's just
the stunning landscape. I will never forget ascending into the
Serengeti and seeing like animals just everywhere, you know. So
(13:34):
I think that has left a lasting impression on me.
And I almost bought some property in Cape Town. I
loved it so much, but then I thought, realistically, how
often am I.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Going to get over there?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So wise words from someone who's dedicated her life to
helping people write wherever they are. She is Paula Kendrick
and she will be honored as the Individual Champion for
Youth for Saturday's Blue Door Bash as part of the
Boys and Girls Club of Carson's annual Blue Door Bash Gala,
and It'll be held this Saturday at Sofi Stadium. I'll
(14:07):
be there's the MC but for more information, you can
go to Bgccrson dot org for more information. Mis Kendrick
is a pleasure to meet you, at least informally. I
know we probably crossed paths last year at the Blue
Dour Bash, But now I get to really make your
acquaintance this Saturday. Congratulations to you and much more success
(14:28):
to you thanks thisz platform.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I wanted to circle back to a conversation that we
had been having about Beyonce's foray into country music. We
knew that Beyonce may do something like this because she's
never one album of the Year, and I thought, I know,
Tualla thought that if you were to do a country album,
it could spark the imagination of at least Grammy Academy
(14:59):
voters to consider her for Album of the Year.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Now the CMAS, they said no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Not only was she not nominated, more and more people
are speaking out. And I say this knowing full well
that the Cowboy Carter album received a lot of country
music airplay, but without going into all the inner machinations
of how airplay actually works, and it's not a function
of people calling in and requests the song. Just know
(15:29):
that don't equate airplay with awards. That's the first thing.
And we also said the last time we talked about this,
about whether Beyonce was actually snubbed or the reasons behind it.
I made the argument that Beyonce did not do what
she needed to do as an artist to provide what
we call artists support for records at these various stations.
(15:52):
I talked about how artists usually when they're supporting a record,
they will go to the station and do interviews, I
mean each and every station. They will do flyaway, They'll
do promotions and giveaways. That is what we call supporting
the music at the station. In other words, the stations
which play the music gets something out of it, and
you endear yourself to not only the station it's listeners,
(16:14):
but the larger music community for that genre.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Beyonce, for the most part, didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
She basically dropped off the music and through promotions channels
got the music played, but did not provide the artist
support that radio stations would need or want. And Luke
Brian is now weighing in on this conversation surrounding Beyonce's
lack of CMA Award nominations for her Cowboy Carter album,
(16:44):
and this is what Luke Brian had to say, quote,
it's a tricky question because obviously Beyonce made a country album,
and Beyonce has a lot of fans out there that
have her back, and if she doesn't get something they want, man,
they come after you, as fans should do, just because
she made one, as in a country album, just because
I make one, I don't get any nominations. Close quote,
(17:07):
what do you think about this? To wall As far
as Beyonce, we agree on her not getting the CMA nominations,
but as to why do you agree with me?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
I agree because I agree with Luke Brian and this
is something that we have been saying all along. Beyonce
can do whatever she wants. This is not and at
no point has been about us saying she cannot do
a country album. Because she did it and her fans
love it, but country fans looked at it as Okay, Beyonce,
(17:45):
who we all know and love for the music Beyonce does,
did a country album, but she's never once in her
career done anything to embrace the country music community. So
we're looking at it like, oh, okay, that was cool,
that was novel that was a novelty album. You're not
seriously coming into this world. And Luke Brian is acknowledging
(18:09):
the fact that if Beyonce wanted to be taken seriously,
she needed to make herself available and become a part
of the country world. Brian went on to say, quote,
everybody loved that Beyonce made a country album, nobody's mad
about it. But where things get a little tricky. If
you're gonna make country albums, come into our world and
(18:31):
be country with us for a little bit. Like Beyonce
can do whatever she wants, she's probably the biggest star
in music, but come to an award showing high five
of us and have fun and get to know the
family too. And I'm not saying that she didn't do
any of that, but country music is a lot about family,
and I don't know if country radio or the country
(18:52):
music audience looked at her as if she was really
trying to become part of the family, or if she
was trying to get some level of award recognition on
a larger scale. And I think that's what a lot
of people don't understand about Beyonce's country album and why
it wasn't nominated.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, the country music genre is much more closed in
that family type setting where everyone knows everyone rap is
less like it like that.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Let me make a parallel.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
You can have an artist like Maclamore who has a
hit and can even win a Grammy Award, but it's
not going to be accepted within the rap family specifically
because I see it as cultural tourism. You know, you
are borrowing from the genre. You're not part of the genre.
And Beyonce bless her Heart is not part of the
(19:44):
country genre. She just did some country songs and they
were played on the radio, but no one precees her
as a country artist. And I don't think anyone legitimately
thinks that she was trying to immerse herself in the
country family.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, and and I really take umbridge at individuals who
are signed trying to say that it was because she
was black. When you look at someone like Shaboozie, who
has the bar song, the the Tipsy I called the
Tipsy remake, but the Tipsy song, and he is widely
accepted by country. You have someone like Darius Rutger Poer Rutcker,
(20:26):
you know what I'm saying, so exactly where I was going,
who is probably more well known within the country world
than he is in that Uh what was it maybe
smooth rock that he was? He was a hoody in
the Blowfish It's it's so. It's one of those that,
again you look at someone who for their entire career
has been known widely within the realm of R and B,
(20:48):
has never done anything country until she came out with
what was it that that Daddy's Girl performance.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
With the with the Dixie Chicks.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
I believe it was, And that was one of those
Oh that's interesting, but it was interesting like Nelly coming
out and doing a rap song at the Country Music Awards.
Nellie wasn't all of a sudden welcomed into the country
world and saying, hey, Nellie, you're one of us. Even
though Nellie has always embraced what country grammar, there are fine,
(21:17):
fine lines to this and when it comes to music
being accepted, it is the exact same as And tell
me when this happens.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
If Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Does a rap album, Let's see how many awards she
wins for that. Probably none because people will look at
that as like, Okay, Taylor Swift is rapping, good for her,
not going to be nominated for any rap awards, sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And Taylor Swift will probably get a lot of airplay,
and I don't want to get too inside baseball with
radio stations, but she would get a lot of play
on CHR stations and crossover stations, but would not get
the airplay on the true urban stations and would not
get the true love from the urban music genre. Now well,
(22:05):
people push her away, no, but they wouldn't readily accept her.
And her fans would clamor for it, but it wouldn't
mean it would be recognized with the awards, like you
were saying, Tuala, and this is something which people sometimes forget.
Taylor Swift, to your point, was originally a country artist.
It's about how people first know you and come to
(22:26):
know you and how they will continue to support you.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Maclamore, I don't know where.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
He is now, but he's not doing anything in rap
music and that kind of like confirms the point. Beyonce,
when she's done with this album, I don't know if
she's gonna do anything else in country because it feels contrived,
like it's for a Grammy Album of the Year.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I may be wrong, but I doubt it.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Yeah, it definitely feels like that, and I know, to
Beyonce's credit, she said that she was very serious about that,
and I don't doubt her for a minute. I just
and this is something that I don't even think Beyonce
is unaware of. This is more for those who are
unaware in the fans, who are screaming at radio stations
(23:14):
and screaming at country music awards. It's like you all
have to understand that there are levels to how the
music industry works. You're hearing it from two individuals who
have worked long, long, long long hours, days, weeks years
in the music industry, so we have a little bit
of an idea of what we are talking about. I
(23:35):
can tell you for a fact, when not tell us
which it was Britney Spears. Britney Spears had dropped. I
think it was a pharal remix of one of her songs,
and the promotions of Department from her label brought it
to our station, which was a what a hip hop
R and B station, and we looked at that record
(23:56):
like it was a led fart. Why because it's not
going to to go off well with our audience. Yes,
they may know who Britney Spears is, but there's no
way they want to hear Britney Spears music over someone
like a Beyonce.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's Later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
When we come back, We're going to close with thoughts
on Jonathan Majors having a reprieve with one of his
projects which was shelved. Will this breathe new life into
his career or further confirm that he is Yesterday's news.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.

I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
It's Later with mo Kelly live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
You may not have heard about the movie called Magazine
Dreams because it never got released. It was shelved in
the wake of the allegations which turned into an eventual
criminal conviction of actor Jonathan Majors. His brand was toxic
(25:03):
for how long no one was sure, But now it
seems like someone is least going to get an opportunity
to find out if his brand, the Jonathan Major's name,
can make money or whether he is a bankable commodity. Now,
Magazine Dreams has finally received a new distributor and release window,
(25:24):
and it's been eight months since it had any shot
of being released to the general public. Jonathan Major Stars
is a troubled aspiring bodybuilder who continues to take steroids
despite his doctor's warnings that they are destroying his liver,
alongside a cast that also includes Haley Bennett, Taylor Page,
(25:45):
Michael Hearn, a bunch of people we never heard of.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
So it's going to live and die. Relative to Jonathan Majors.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I don't know if Jonathan Majors will ever become the
star that he was originally on the path to be coming.
I don't know if he'll ever be able to get
that back. I'm not talking about the Marvel deal. I'm
just talking about the trajectory of super stardom that he
was on because many times it's more than just your talent,
(26:14):
it's more timing as well. He's no less talented now
than he was then. He's just perceived very differently, and
we all know that he has the talent, but I
don't know if people will ever see him the same way.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
And honestly, I'm not so interested in seeing magazine dreams,
and that's anecdotal. I'm just one person, I'm not a
bunch of people.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
But I wonder if anyone will care about what Jonathan
Majors does next.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Maybe I'm wrong see.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Now, and you know this is this is almost like
a testing the waters release, And I believe that because
it's not being released by a major studio. You know,
it was dropped from Disney subsidy or subsidiary twenty Century Fox.
I believe Fox. It was like a company that or Searchlight.
(27:06):
Searchlight was going to put it out. And because Disney
parted ways with him from his role as king, they say,
you know, we're also not going to be a part
of distributing this magazine dreams. Now it's being picked up
by what is it Barrocliff who Briercliffe Entertainment, right, exactly
who are they and who is that? Except for the
(27:29):
company that's also the distributor of the Donald Trump dramatization
The Apprentice. So this is a company that is practicing
in putting out controversial projects kind of to see what
people think in too, you know, shock the World or whatever.
So this is more of a hey, we may be
(27:51):
able to do something with this, but does this company
have enough strength behind to really get this film in theaters,
to get people well to see it to the point
where it's going to make a difference in his relative
exodus from Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I don't know if this is going to be the one.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, and part of the issue I think is they
have to rehab his persona, his profile. But the only
way that can be done, I think is through Jonathan
Major's We're not talking about someone who just chose to
leave the scene. We're talking about someone who was convicted
(28:30):
of assaulting his ex girlfriend. And it's going to require
us liking the person as well as liking the talent.
What I mean by that, it's different from let's say
Robert Downey Jr. Where he got into all this trouble,
but it wasn't like he was hurting people or perceived
as physically hurting people, so then they could just look
(28:50):
at it at it from a talent perspective. Oh wow,
he was great in Ironman. I loved Iron Man. Robert
Downey Junior's back. I don't think it's going to be
the same. And you've seen this, and this is again
another example of there is no cancel culture. Jonathan Majors
will have a career, he will get jobs, he will
do things. I just don't think he will do on
(29:12):
the level that he was doing or was expected to do.
The same is true for Kevin Spacey. The same is
true for any of these other actors who are quote
unquote canceled, but they eventually come back, like a Mel Gibson.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Mel Gibson is still acting. He'll never be what he was.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Part of that is age, but part of that is
also you know that people are not going to offer
the types of roles that he originally had, and I
think that's true with Jonathan Major's and you only have
a small window to be a superstar in Hollywood, with
the exception of people like Tom Cruise who go against
you know, all type of rules, the exception which proves
(29:50):
the rule. Jonathan Majors I think missed his shot. And
I don't know if this movie, and he's welcome to
prove me wrong. I don't know if this movie will
be enough to put him back on that trajectory. And
I think is still going to be a long, long process.
But tomorrow, you know what's coming up tomorrow. For those
(30:10):
who want to go to the party we tried to
tell you earlier. If you want to come to the
exclusive pre Halloween soire a, you know what you need
