Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning and welcome to Insight, a show about empowering
our community. I'm Lorraine Ballad Morrel. With Father's Day around
the corner. We're highlighting two inspiring efforts that uplift and
celebrate fatherhood. I'll be speaking with Balal Cayum, co founder
of the Father's Day Rally Committee, about their annual Father's
Day Dinner, which honors men who've stepped up for their
children and mentees. We'll also hear from Joel Austin, CEO

(00:24):
of Daddy University about the iconic Daddy Daughter Dance, an
unforgettable celebration of the father daughter bond. But first we'll
speak with a dedicated community activist working to bring about
positive change in Camden, New Jersey. Joining us today is Camden,
New Jersey longtime Camden New Jersey activist leader al Bibo Sudan,

(00:46):
who's a passionate advocate for social justice, youth empowerment, and
civic engagement. As the twenty twenty five election approaches, she's
on the ground mobilizing her community to raise their voices,
fight for change, and ensure every voters shows up and
makes their vote count. From advocating for safer neighborhoods to
more equitable policies. Habiba believes real change starts at the

(01:09):
ballot box and in our neighborhoods. So thank you so
much for joining us here today, Habiba. You have been
a powerful voice for change in Camden for many many years.
What inspired your journey into activism?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
What inspired me was actually growing up in Camden and
recognizing that the foundation of a healthy community came from
people participating and having conversations with each other. As I
was growing up, even the politicians and leaders that were
in power, they came and sat at the dinner table.

(01:47):
You always had access to those in leadership because we
put them in leadership. We put them in there so
that we could have a voice and a bigger voice,
you know, in state government, in national government. So the doctors,
the funeral directors, all those people who were important and

(02:08):
helping a community thrive sat at our table. So I
was always one that believed in you know, participation, interaction.
Let's sit down to the table and talk.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
As we head into the next election. What are the
issues top of mind for the communities that you serve.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I would have to say seniors, children and some of
our community members who are lost their health and welfare
and the ability for them to thrive. You know, there
we're having some difficulties, you know, with seniors feeling secure.
We're in that generation now where folks are having seniors

(02:49):
who are getting older. They're not able to sustain totally
by themselves. So it's whether you take them on and
be a caretaker, utilizing still their own strengths in their
own mind. My mother was ninety five still driving, so
but they did need more support. And I think we
all have family members. You can't shake any family tree

(03:12):
and not have someone with some difficulties fall out. So
we're dealing with those family members who have kind of
lost their way, and we're dealing with children who you
know are doing their best. They're going to school, but
the schools, you know, they teeter tighter when they're good
you have a really good teacher, and sometimes you don't.

(03:33):
And a lot of times you have administration that doesn't
really recognize all the areas in which you know which
children need to thrive. So, you know, those kinds of things.
I am tired of hearing folks talking about surviving and
they don't have a vision of thriving and what that.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Means, well, what are some of the common barriers to
voting that you see in Camden and how are you
helping people overcome those barriers.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I would say that some of the barriers in Camden
have to do with leadership that really does not respect
what they call brassroot people. I really think that's one
of the barriers. I think people would like me to say, oh,

(04:25):
some of the barriers are that we're dealing with. You know,
light and housing and jobs and all of those things
are very true and that we are. But what I
notice is that folks in leadership and that have some
power to make decisions and policy, they don't tend to

(04:48):
as the vision. They tend to vision that we're going
to have this community that looks like what I see
in the doctor's office magazines to say that, you know,
the best docs in New Jersey or the best communities
to live in. And so that may be their vision
in terms of building and housing and jobs and walking

(05:08):
down the main street and looking in the store windows
and those kinds of things. But when they vision that
for Camden and we can see some of that moving in,
they don't tend to include grassroots people in that vision.
And I think that systemic for many, many years of

(05:31):
not seeing grassroots people in the best vision. And so
I think the barrier starts there. I mean you can
start with the people and say, oh, there's crime, they're
doing this, they're not stepping up. No, no, no, no no.
I think some of the problems start at the top.
Let us all take some weight, and I think the mindset.

(05:54):
And so when I have seen planning toward the vision
of building a better place and Camden rising, I have
seen some rigging. To me, that's what it looks like
to me, where grassroots people are really left out of
that vision.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Well, I think what often happens in politics is that
you have the folks who have the power and they
tend to stay there. There's no handing off to younger
generations or handing off to as you say, the grassroots people.
So this is an opportunity as we head into the election,

(06:32):
the primary election in Camden, to step up and make
your voices heard. So what would you tell individuals, especially
young people, in terms of you know, so many people
feel that their vote doesn't count, that it doesn't matter
if they go to the polls. What would you say
to them.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, I think people that would say that, first of all,
have internalized that their marginalized people. People tend to internalize
what they've been taught for generations, that other people are
meant to be in power and make decisions for you.
I think that that's true, that's taking some weight. So
part of what my message is, and I've worked with

(07:11):
youth most of my life, is to wake up, stand up,
and put up. Some people will say shut up, but
we can't. We don't have a luxury to shut up.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, well, again, this election is coming up, and I
wonder if there's a way that people could find out
more about ways in which they could make a difference,
that they could support candidates that will make a difference
in the city of Camden. How do they do that?
Where do they go?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Well, I want to just back up and say sometimes
when I say, well, I can give you that, you know,
they can call the number. You know, call Caren Powers.
We're talking about her and many of the community members,
Susan Stuke's Regina Tatum, many of the men are talking
about having a youth and senior summit in Camden, which

(08:02):
we're looking forward to. But I think part of it
is a lot of the young folks don't have enough
knowledge and they really don't understand what's really going on systematically.
They really just don't know. They don't have enough information.
So part of us getting together and part of us
talking now is to give them some sense of what

(08:24):
their vote means. For instance, if you're having an issue
and you work twenty hours, twenty five hours, forty hours
for some of the major organizations in Camden like Campbell's
and Cooper and Subaru and Lockey, which I want you
to know that in most of those organizations that are
getting tax breaks in Camden Hire have less than one

(08:47):
percent employees residents of Camden. Okay, they need to understand that,
and so that's one of the things we want to push.
But if you get your paycheck and you're like, wow,
you know why am I getting such a low pay
because you're not voting, because there's no pressure coming from
the leadership or an organization to hire you know you

(09:10):
and increase the wage. If you're talking about housing, whether
there's a lack of it, whether it's dilapidated houses in
the neighborhood, vote all right. If you're talking about commercial development,
moving us out in eminent domain coming in. Vote. If
you're talking about where your pension is being spilt, I
mean invested. Vote. If you're talking about competitive education, vote

(09:31):
and the state giving up control of the education, where
the county has come in and taken over the police department. Vote,
you're talking about billion dollar industry and you know, getting
abatements and tax credits, then vote. That's the message from
us is that they really don't understand how to really connect.

(09:54):
And I'm not talking about all citizens. I'm saying mostly
I'm focusing on the young people well, because they've been
trying to survive, so they don't know systemically some of
the things that are happening that are outside of their
vision of what's really going and what's affecting them. And
sometimes they're internalizing that they're the problem, or to mom

(10:15):
and dad or you know, something immediately that they can see.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
So that I wonder if you can also maybe direct
some of these young people to where they can go
to find out all the things that you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
How about calling eight five six five four one four
eight nine four ask to speak to kornne Powers. She's
heading up many of the initiatives in the city of Camden.
She's hired many of them, she's coached many of them.
I mean, there are hundreds of families in Camden who said,

(10:49):
I don't know what to do with my youth who's
about to come out of school. They've lost their vision,
they lost their way. She takes them in. How about
you know, just calling her and talk about, you know,
putting some pressure on the unions, allowing some of our
students who want to go into the trade unions. There
are organizations that are working throughout the city. They don't

(11:10):
get a lot of publicity, but there are many organizations
working without the city. But I know the current powers
is trying to spearhead a lot of things that are
going on to support the youth in the city of Camden.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well, I want to thank you so much for joining
us here today. New Jersey grassroots leader from Camden. Lifelong
Camden resident activist, Habiba Sudan a passionate advocate for social justice, use,
empowerment and civic engagement. There is an election. What's the date?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
June tenth is the election. And even if you missed
the deadline, which was the twentieth, to register, that's okay.
Register for the next election. And besides that, we want
to say that we're speaking also to those who are
registered to vote but who have taken on an attitude

(12:01):
that my boat really doesn't count, it's not valued, and
we're saying, yes it is. You know, look, wake up,
stand up, all right, and put up all right.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Habiba Sudan, passionate advocate for social justice. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Thank you, Loryan. I really appreciate you. You have a wonderful,
blessed day.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I am delighted to introduce Blala Kayum, who's the co
founder of the Father's Day Rally Committee, which has for
many years provided mentoring and support for young men. And
it is really my pleasure to introduce really one of
our premier community leaders. Belah. Such a pleasure. And you've
got a great event that's coming up, tell us about it.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yes, thank you for having me on the Ring Files
Day Rally Committee. This is our thirty six anniversary this year.
We've been around for thirty six years by voting fatherhood
and particularly positive images of black males. Yes, and we
also started twenty eight years ago a Fatherhood Awards reception
where we honor fathers across the city from all blackgrounds

(13:13):
So this year we're having our twenty eighth annual Father's
Day Rally Committee Awards Reception, awards dinner, which is being
hosted by the Philapia Art Museum. This is the third
year in the row that Art Museum has hosted our dinner.
It would be held on Wednesday, June eleventh, from five
o'clock to eight o'clock at the Art Museum.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah. Well, the Fines Day Rally Committee, as you say,
has been around for many decades, and I wonder for
those who are not familiar, which is hard to believe
that there are any of those people. But tell us
more about what you do. What is your mission, what
are your programs.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Fathersday Raby Committee. Our focus is once again is on
promoting the positive images. When we started this organization thirty
six years ago, there was a bombardment of negative images
on the news meter. We didn't have back then Instagram
and Facebook and all those things. Back then it was
basically newspapers and TV and radio, and it was a

(14:09):
constant bombardment of negative images of black mails. So a
group of us got together and we said, you know,
the way you dress that is also promote the positive stuff.
That's going on in the community, particularly around black males,
and that's where we started. And on Father's Day we
decided to do a Fither's Day picnic. So for thirty

(14:29):
years we have done a Fither's Day picnic. We have
hundreds and thousands of families out over the years combined
collectively over those years, and we stopped them six years
ago because we realized that what's that old saying, Loraine,
about your victim of your success. When we first started,
no one was really promoting fatherhood in the black community.

(14:52):
But now everybody's on board and promoting the doing events
and families are taken out their fathers and stuff. So
up doing the picnics. But we continued and started to
doing the honoring of fathers with our awards. Viception presidently me.
Right now, we're going every week into the Juvenile Justice
Center and interact with the young males that the Justice Center,

(15:15):
you know, trying to bring them a good message about
what they should do with their life once they come
out of the Justices Center. We also hold group sessions
for men called Project Lifeline. We have a curriculum where
we serve men in the city of Philadelphia with our
twelve week sessions and once they complete the twelve weeks,

(15:36):
we have a ceremony where we're honoring them and give
them a certificate and we also give them gift cards
for their participation. We also recently as of last see
last week, started a program called the black Mail Achievement
Initiative where we're going to be in two elementary schools
working with young black males with our rights to pass

(15:58):
this program and other activities in these two schools. One
is Beauford Elementary School, one is John B. Kelly Elementary
School in North Philadelphia. And we didn't you know, we
do a lot of other things around how can we
promote positive images and programs. As you well know, we
started off really addressing this whole issue about violence in

(16:21):
this city. And back then in nineteen ninety, we talked
about what's going on now. In nineteen ninety there was
five hundred and one murders in the city of Philadelphia,
three hundred and eighty five were black males, and the
numbers kept going up from the nineties and then it
started dropping two thousand down. So and now we're witnessing,

(16:42):
unfortunately a raise and homiciding shootings from last year. The
way we are. I think the police has said we
probably might still be under But it's a possessed that
people have. What happened on Memorial Day, quote the mass shooting,
it's what people see that doesn't happen, you know, every day. Yeah,

(17:02):
that didn't happen every day, and that was a unique,
really unique situation. But we see the change in young
folks's attitudes about themselves, how they feel about themselves, and
like I describe it as they have no values because
they hadn't been taught those values consistently in our community.
So when you don't have no values, you don't have

(17:22):
no self esteem, you don't think good about yourself, you
act out negatively. And that's what we're seeing now with
young folks. So we got to reach them. We got
to talk to we got to be out there in
the streets, We got to interact with them. They are
our children. But also we got to be real about
their behavior, and we got to step to them about
the rain and particularly with their mothers. You know, I

(17:45):
raised a question, and this is going to be controversial,
but young man, that guy shot who's in the hospital
and thank god he's still with us, why was he
there in the park at ten thirty at night. Why
was he there? We got to answer those questions now
in our community, why are kids on the streets eleven,
twelve or one o'clock the night? Where's the parents? We

(18:07):
didn't stand for that when I was growing up. That
wasn't happening. You would not be your mom and pop
know where.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
You were, and your neighbors too.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
And your neighbors. So we got to have that discussion.
It's an uncomfortable discussion because people say, well, you're criticizing folks,
but we got to criticize. I mean, how are we
going to solve this and we're not being honest with
ourselves about what's going on in our communities. We got
to set the higher standards about behavior, particularly on folks,
which means what the Father's Day is about. How do

(18:37):
you get more fathers involved in the children's lives if
they're not. And there's a lot of great fathers doing
a lot of great work. And the whole issue about
now things have changed. The social media has made a difference,
you know about to drill rap and other negative rap
the kids are listening to every day. So if you're
listening to that and you're not being encouraged to do

(19:00):
the positive things. All you're getting you're in taking psychologically
and mentally negative thoughts about and if you don't feel
good about yourself, then you will act out. You don't
care if I shoot you. Talking to young folks, one
of the things I learned. They don't have the values,
they don't have the commitment to each other. Young folks
will shoot each other. I mean they're friends. So that

(19:23):
didn't happen before. So we have a lot of work
to do. And once again, I really believe that the
history has shown us in the city of Filadelphia. Every
time we're in crisis like we are now, we overcome them.
We have a history in the black community, particularly to
overcome problems that we have had once we work together
and collectively, you know, do programs and projects together. And

(19:46):
I'm beginning to see that and to reign more and
more as you well know. That's also driven by demand. Man,
we have in Washington, d C. Where people realize you
got to come together. Now these are not times where
you could talk about AYE at me and all that.
We got to talk about collective action together, families, how
we rebuild and re strengthen families, how we support families

(20:09):
that really need help, those other things that we have
to do, and those other things that the Father's A
Rowley Committee talks about and pushes with programs.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah. Well, getting back to the dinner, I have to
say that every year I always shed a tear because
there's always so many inspiring stories to tell. I remember
a year when you honored a grandfather who was behind
the walls of I think it was greater for another
phoenix now. And he managed to raise a bunch of

(20:39):
very strong, healthy black sons because he really cared about
being a dad, being a father. And I remember them
coming up to the stage and talking about him. Even
though they didn't get to see him every day like
many people are able to do, he was still a
strong father and he raised some beautiful young man.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
I just love our awards reception. And people in the
city know bat they everybody, no one comes to awards reception.
It doesn't leave their uplifting and half because once again
were ironing all kinds of fathers this year, I got
to listen. I don't want to leave anybody out. We're
honoring Chiles Tone Bar you know, brother Tone. We're hiring
a brother named Jasmine Cosby, a brother named Goodwin and

(21:26):
I can't pannounce his last name, so n w O
g A he's he's actually an African brother of ours.
We're honoring Jonathan Wilson, doctor Jonathan Wilson that has a
father's fatherhood ship in south West Philly. We're hiring Charlie Mack,
the one and only Charlie Mac. We're hiring Craig Williams.

(21:46):
We're hiring a brother named Eric Marsh which a lot
of brothers know, Jonathan Stewart, and we're honoring our good
friend Gilly this year. Yes, and we're also honoring Glenn Holly,
which is the father of Alex Holly on Channel twenty nine,
and our grandfather of Ward this year is going towards

(22:07):
her grandfather.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yes, he's the Hippis grandfather I have ever met except
for you.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Of course, he's great, and I have to apologize. We
are honoring a Latino brother as we always do, and
I don't have his name, but we make sure his
name is mentioned as we promote their whole event. So
those are the fathers we're honoring this year, and the
one grandfather and you could see from there it's all
kinds of spectrums, from Charlie Mack to a Gilly two

(22:35):
fathers are doing great work that people not even heard of.
But that's what's so exciting about our wards reception. Yeah,
we honored the whole spectrum, young.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Old, professional, just regular folcus.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, it's a beautiful event. And if people want tickets
to this, how do they get them?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
They could get tickets by going online going ticket lead

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Fantastic. Well, I hope that everybody who's listening to this
considers going to this amazing event on June eleventh at
the Art Museum honoring dads and grandfathers and fathers. It
is just a very moving and uplifting event. The La
Cayun Thank you for all that you do and we'll
see you on the eleventh.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Thank you very much for having me on.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
This June celebrate the powerful bond between fathers and daughters
at one of Philadelphia's most heartwarming traditions, the thirteenth annual
Well Daddy Daughter Dance, hosted by Daddy University, Inc. This
year's theme is the Enchanted Forrest Gala, a magical evening
of music, dancing, and unforgettable memories. The event takes place

(24:13):
on Friday, June fourteenth at the Arts Ballroom at thirteen
twenty seven Locus Street. Joining us is Joel Austin, President
and CEO of Daddy University, to share more about this
special celebration and how your family can attend, and we
are glad to have you here. Joel, welcome. For those
who are not familiar, can you tell us what inspired

(24:34):
you to start the Daddy Daughter Dance and what makes
this thirteenth year extra special.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
First, I am honored to be talking to an icon.
Congratulations on your recary award. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What inspired me was when I had my son. I
realized there was a strong relationship and a strong bond
because I feel like from the beginning, my son needs
me for this, and my son needs me for direction,

(25:00):
and the son needs me to teach them all of
these how to shave and do a tie when I
have my daughter kind of backed away because I didn't
see how important I was in her life. And I
quickly learned from an event like this, how much we
bring to the table when it comes to developing young girls,
young girls into young women, how we are equally needed

(25:23):
for their best development. We found out that our dads
build stronger esteem and girls than our moms do, so
we literally use them to push esteem into a young
girl and esteem into a young woman, and young woman
with esteem becomes a whole woman with it self esteem
and positive self esteem, and a grown woman with positive

(25:44):
self esteem becomes vice president. So that's just how we
see it.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I love that, and certainly I think for women we
often get our idea of how to have relationships with
men through our dads. And I wonder if you can
tell about daddy University's broader mission and how events like
this support that work.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
That University's broader missions to really educate and re educate
a lot of our fathers on their power, their strength.
Outside of financial there is financial is literally the fifth
and sixth thing that's kind of needed, But quality time
is more important. Nurturing is more important, and the other
one ring listening is even more important than those things.

(26:28):
So we have a lot of events throughout the city
and with the city to bring about this empowering of
what's really needed. The best sneaks in the world do
not buy you a certain type of loyalty. Best snakes
in the world will truly make your child happy. So
listening better communication, and then every now and then let's

(26:49):
just play. Let's just have some fun with this and
that university really really expands on the education part, the
support part, the advocacy part, and having fun as a parent.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Well this here's theme is the Enchanted Forrest guil Oh. Yeah,
So what can attendees expect in terms of the atmosphere,
the activities and surprises.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
I am so sorry to say that there are going
to be magic wands here. There is going to be
I am so sorry parents. There is going to be
glitter here. There are going to be wings here. We
literally have a princess coming to the event, a music,
live music, full course, meal, vendors, entertainment. It is a

(27:36):
ball if you kind of imagine a prom and then
you kind of imagine the Oscar Awards, but in a
place like Shrek or Far Far Away, is this time
and deep down is quality time, and quality time builds memories.
And our slogan for the event is that this is
one relationship that I guarantee you is going to last

(27:56):
your lifetime.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Well, it sounds like a truly magic evening. And I
wonder if you can tell us that there are still
tickets available and how can family sign up or nominate
someone who deserves to attend.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
