Speaker 1 (00:03):
Like think.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And day.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Trying to log in again. I I just wanted to
come on because since this young lady has trying to
be in since she joined the Crew podcast, and have
been trying to go live and you know, share her
story and share her journey.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It it it seems like every single.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Time she tries to go live, there is a issue,
there is something. I don't know what message this lady
is truly trying to give, but the enemy is definitely
not on her side and the enemy is definitely against her.
But I just wanted to come come on here and
(03:52):
occupy this space until she got here, because apparently her
message is so is powerful, and we know how the
enemy works and we see it often right here on
this podcast as hosts try to go live try to
bring you information that we feel it's needed for our communities,
(04:18):
and the enemy is so busy. But I just wanted
to come on and let you guys know that we
have been trying to go live. We have been trying
to broadcast this show since the clock because she called
me a few minutes before we were supposed to be live,
(04:41):
and this is her calling me again. This is her
calling me again, y'all. So we're trying to see where
she said, Hello, Yes.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm still loving it's lonely studio.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Okay, well I'm in the studio. I am live. So,
like I was saying, y'all, I don't know what it is,
but apparently the message that she's trying to bring, y'all
is a powerful message that is trying to be hindered, because,
(05:15):
like I say, since she has joined the network, every
single time she tries to come in the studio and
go live is always an issue. And we even tested
her her equipment last week to make sure that she
was able to come in and we were able to
(05:36):
go live. Had no issues. We went live, and we
were live for some minutes. Normally it would kick her
off at like seventeen seconds or so, but we were
able to actually go live connect and her equipment worked.
I don't know why the enemy is fighting her so hard,
(05:57):
but of course we know when and there is a message
that has to be delivered and something that the people
need to hear. It's always some some friction, there's always
some some something that tries to hinder And I just
wanted y'all to see how real this was, because there's
(06:19):
a couple of other hosts that have no problems ever,
But then we have some that every time they try
to go live, it's delayed. There's there's something going on
with the recording, there's something going on.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
With the music. It's always something.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
But for everybody that have been following us and supporting
us for the last three years, know that we don't stop.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
We don't quit. We continue, We go on.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
We press, we we we we We are here to
serve our community and to educate, empower and encourage. So
we press and we continue to try to bring the
message and the things that we feel will help build
(07:06):
our communities and make our community stronger. So know that
we don't stop. Were not stopping. I'm yet here waiting
for her to come in the studio. That's right, Patrice.
We make it do what to do because that's how
we know to do. Because one thing we are not
(07:27):
is quitters. We do not quit. So if I just
want to serve the enemy, notice on tonight. You may
you may have hindered us tonight, but you won't get
that opportunity again. So I hope you will enjoying this
this go round because you won't get another chance to
(07:50):
hinder her.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Show.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
If that means we got to start going live a
little earlier, we'll go whatever it takes to defeat you.
We will do that because you get no victory on
the group podcast. You will not come against our host
because they have that there are a mission, that that's
something that they're supposed to be delivering to the people,
(08:14):
to help the people. When I tell you we are
the change that we desired to see in this world,
that's exactly what we are. So enemy, just know that
you are served on tonight. You won't get another chance
to affect any of these hosts. Trust and believe. So
(08:35):
you had your little time tonight, but you won't get
it again.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
That's very hard to bring my messon to everyone because
I know it's important to know.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's why I go live on.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Facebook too, so that people don't know there's a big story.
I'll get the least to be told. It's not just
the other listen, it's how I've been living with it,
and some.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
People can see me.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
That's why I want to be on your podcast, on
your show. But I just brought this new laptop now
the laptop, this new Tablain, and it was just finally
for doing the important emotional to see if it work.
An it work for some reason tonight they had me
a different room.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I want you and need listeners to know that my
name is building the name of Smalls, and I'm about
my podcast and I am here so that you guys
know that I am not going to stop until this
thing is right, because I've never had such a problem
before in my life trying to get onto my site.
(09:58):
Tonight I talked about the show to and how my
life was dealing with the havaison and during the cold
pandemic and being in the shelter.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I became homeless after taking COVID funds.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
During the pandemic, which I didn't know that you were
supposed to take COVID funds during the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You never had a pandemic before, so how would I know.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Before I had a house, I had sex well, I
was on Section eight, So being that I was on
sex and eight, I was able to afford to certain
things and I was working for my time.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So I had a basketball for in my backyard. I
had a bockground pool, I had the grills, I had
a deck.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I had enough grass that I could do tennis or
bag and then I.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Had grass in the front yard. I cut my own grass.
I put mine in my grass so it looked nice
and nicely managed long every.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Two weeks, and then the pandemic came. And then I
was told about my sex and eight Golcha coordinator whatever
you want to call.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Her, jenniferm that you can't take funds. So I didn't
pay my rent a whole year. The end that I
paid my rent a whole year, that violates at sixty eight.
So day was happening taken away from me and he did. So.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I stayed in my trunk for six months and then
in my truck for six months.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I had to take a shower in people houses that
I knew.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Sometimes if I was in a hotel, it's a hotel,
then there was Sometimes it was at the seventh eleventh,
I was far across the street from or any bathroom
that I could go into.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Then allow me to.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Take a washer the waffle house. I had to take
a shower and to take a wash at the waffle house.
And then after six months of that, I lived with
my sister in six months, so I wouldn't suggest the
family members the reason why I say it because about
everybody get along. I worried about the electric bills, she
(12:14):
went about the water bill. She worried about me. That
was tedious. Yeah, I wouldn't say that's not tedious, but
tears so.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
A person who don't do anything. It wasn't like I
was running the water.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Had the lights on it. It's just that that's the
type of person that she is. And I stayed with
her for about six months. I got a job at
McDonald's and that's when the Orlanda.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Center was really burning my hair out.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
My hair was blond, and I got a big hone
on my head from rubbing it so much because it
was burning and itching at the same time. And sometimes
it would burn and sometimes it would itch at different times,
and I.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Took pictures of it because I'm like.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
What is burning my fall? It seemed like whenever I
was going music, that's when my spall was burning. I
called him my spall on my head.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
So after living with my sister for six months mab
at McDonald's, I went to New York City. My daughter
I asked me any New York City to be with her.
So I came to New York city, and I stayed
in shelter for two years. I would suggest.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
That only because they find your apartment is the only
reason why I would say, yeah, it's worth it because
I live in a beautiful studio apartment.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But while I was in the shelter, so much was
going on. It was fighting. The police was.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
There all the time, two or three times a day,
and this girl split on me because.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They said she could have HIV. I don't know, but
she was. She caught everybody in the whole shelter just about.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
And that's what staff used to befriend the billies, and
the billie.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Do their job for with.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Them because they couldn't do it, which is fight you.
But I still have to the fantasondo in the shelter,
trying to deal with that and feel it with my family.
It's not easy being with your family. But then you
(14:21):
had to sign in every single night. Every single night
you have to sign in, and they were going to
be in there fighting. I got into two fights. Lost
my favorite air ring that got lost. I found it,
then it got lost again. Then this lady pushed me.
I had to arrest it because I set on my risks.
(14:43):
So they thought that was worth tiving. He arrested, so
I had arrested.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And it's so much, so much go off, especially.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
When you're in the shelter and you know that the
shelter said, and you thought whether what you thought it was.
It's like they have women in there that look like
men because they're transitioning over to being men women, I'm sorry,
being women.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And there was a few men that were in there.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Who has still had their private parts as men, but
they somehow passed a test.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I was told that the test is what I can
tell is.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The person that's really trying to transition to being a woman.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And I guess they passed the test and they went
out to come into the shelf.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Then you had some women in there who were dressed
like men also who loved to get naked. Because one
lady who got naked in the cafeteria for breakfast, I
don't know what was going on in her head, but
she just stripped, took a straight off, and she was
(15:59):
just there chested in front of all the ladies that
was in there, trying to enjoy the piece of breakfast
that we had, which was all garbage. We had catering
the floor that was garbage. When we ate microwave food,
and then then it was caterer who cooked, and that
was worse. They should have left it at the microwave food,
(16:20):
is what I was saying. A lot of women felt
the same way.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And that's not the only woman that allowed to get undressed.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
This one woman that was in my room, she was
on the second floor and she goes, she went to
bed naked, got up naked. Joie got dressed when it
was during the daytime and she was going to go
somewhere otherwise that she just got naked. It was like
you're being exposed to women in the shelter who don't
(16:49):
care about other people's integrity.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't care about that self respect. I don't care
about whether somebody have something that said about them or not.
They still gonna do what they want to do. Not
only that, they had tampons that was bloody all over
the floor.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
And the shower and the toilet, blood all over the seats.
One lady used the dapt them on the floor. She
did the number two. She just shoot it all over
the floor. They had to clean that up and the blood.
They had to clean that up. They don't even know
if that person got something or not. Those are the
things that I had to do in the shelter, besides
(17:34):
the fighting, besides other people fighting. So I just wanted
to let you know a little bit about the shelter life.
And this is going to be in my second book.
When said the Barberic, I'm sorry, my second book, The Plainsight.
It's just certain things that need to be told should
(17:54):
be told so people can know you're going to go
into a shelter, then this is what you need to expect.
And if you're going to go into a shelter and
you already expect that, then you're willing to stay in
there for two years like I did and at Boston
Ring for two years so that you can get a
(18:17):
nice apartment. From the beginning, it was because things were
not that bad, but it's seeing that over time people
with different people coming in, different people leaving, and the
worst came in when I was almost managed to leave.
(18:38):
And I still have the Havana sunder at Obamacallo, Havanas
and them in two thousand and sixty three years, it's
going on twenty four years now. Next year beginning of
April April May in Hawaii, stay April May because that's
(18:59):
when it started coming down on me the way that
it is. I never had it before.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I was like you.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I was able to deal with life everyday life, think
of things and things, oh places, talk the way I.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Want to talk. And I feel like somebody's trying to
stop me from talking. And that's really sad to be
in America and my first moment right is being compromised.
What it is.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
So with that being said, write and signed it into law,
and he made it real. And by making it real,
I want to use it to tell you every single
thing that's happened to me could happen to you in
the future, could happen to your kids, could happen to
your grandkids.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
You just never know why they picked me. I don't know.
I don't know why they picked me, but they picked me.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
When my brother died. Police customs twenty thirteen. Excuse me,
that's the health center. That's twenty thirteen in complete custody
may give me raight form, and I'm poking for the
answer for allowing me to use it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm out trying to make sure that I have the
proper equipment to make sure that I can get onto
our show.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
And it seemed that it's always something coming up that
doesn't allow me to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So we're going to get it right.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
That's why I got a guest on yet, because I
want to make sure that I get it right first
before I invite my guests on and have them go
through this.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
So with that being said, thank you Angela, Thank you
audience for listening.
Speaker 4 (20:47):

wins the Barb podcast.

her for about six months. I got a job at
McDonald's and that's when the Orlanda.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Center was really burning my hair out.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
My hair was blond, and I got a big hone
on my head from rubbing it so much because it
was burning and itching at the same time. And sometimes
it would burn and sometimes it would itch at different times,
and I.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Took pictures of it because I'm like.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
What is burning my fall? It seemed like whenever I
was going music, that's when my spall was burning. I
called him my spall on my head.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
So after living with my sister for six months mab
at McDonald's, I went to New York City. My daughter
I asked me any New York City to be with her.
So I came to New York city, and I stayed
in shelter for two years. I would suggest.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
That only because they find your apartment is the only
reason why I would say, yeah, it's worth it because
I live in a beautiful studio apartment.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But while I was in the shelter, so much was
going on. It was fighting. The police was.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
There all the time, two or three times a day,
and this girl split on me because.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They said she could have HIV. I don't know, but
she was. She caught everybody in the whole shelter just about.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
And that's what staff used to befriend the billies, and
the billie.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Do their job for with.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Them because they couldn't do it, which is fight you.
But I still have to the fantasondo in the shelter,
trying to deal with that and feel it with my family.
It's not easy being with your family. But then you
(14:21):
had to sign in every single night. Every single night
you have to sign in, and they were going to
be in there fighting. I got into two fights. Lost
my favorite air ring that got lost. I found it,
then it got lost again. Then this lady pushed me.
I had to arrest it because I set on my risks.
(14:43):
So they thought that was worth tiving. He arrested, so
I had arrested.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And it's so much, so much go off, especially.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
When you're in the shelter and you know that the
shelter said, and you thought whether what you thought it was.
It's like they have women in there that look like
men because they're transitioning over to being men women, I'm sorry,
being women.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And there was a few men that were in there.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Who has still had their private parts as men, but
they somehow passed a test.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I was told that the test is what I can
tell is.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The person that's really trying to transition to being a woman.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And I guess they passed the test and they went
out to come into the shelf.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Then you had some women in there who were dressed
like men also who loved to get naked. Because one
lady who got naked in the cafeteria for breakfast, I
don't know what was going on in her head, but
she just stripped, took a straight off, and she was
(15:59):
just there chested in front of all the ladies that
was in there, trying to enjoy the piece of breakfast
that we had, which was all garbage. We had catering
the floor that was garbage. When we ate microwave food,
and then then it was caterer who cooked, and that
was worse. They should have left it at the microwave food,
(16:20):
is what I was saying. A lot of women felt
the same way.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And that's not the only woman that allowed to get undressed.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
This one woman that was in my room, she was
on the second floor and she goes, she went to
bed naked, got up naked. Joie got dressed when it
was during the daytime and she was going to go
somewhere otherwise that she just got naked. It was like
you're being exposed to women in the shelter who don't
(16:49):
care about other people's integrity.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't care about that self respect. I don't care
about whether somebody have something that said about them or not.
They still gonna do what they want to do. Not
only that, they had tampons that was bloody all over
the floor.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
And the shower and the toilet, blood all over the seats.
One lady used the dapt them on the floor. She
did the number two. She just shoot it all over
the floor. They had to clean that up and the blood.
They had to clean that up. They don't even know
if that person got something or not. Those are the
things that I had to do in the shelter, besides
(17:34):
the fighting, besides other people fighting. So I just wanted
to let you know a little bit about the shelter life.
And this is going to be in my second book.
When said the Barberic, I'm sorry, my second book, The Plainsight.
It's just certain things that need to be told should
(17:54):
be told so people can know you're going to go
into a shelter, then this is what you need to expect.
And if you're going to go into a shelter and
you already expect that, then you're willing to stay in
there for two years like I did and at Boston
Ring for two years so that you can get a
(18:17):
nice apartment. From the beginning, it was because things were
not that bad, but it's seeing that over time people
with different people coming in, different people leaving, and the
worst came in when I was almost managed to leave.
(18:38):
And I still have the Havana sunder at Obamacallo, Havanas
and them in two thousand and sixty three years, it's
going on twenty four years now. Next year beginning of
April April May in Hawaii, stay April May because that's
(18:59):
when it started coming down on me the way that
it is. I never had it before.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I was like you.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I was able to deal with life everyday life, think
of things and things, oh places, talk the way I.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Want to talk. And I feel like somebody's trying to
stop me from talking. And that's really sad to be
in America and my first moment right is being compromised.
What it is.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
So with that being said, write and signed it into law,
and he made it real. And by making it real,
I want to use it to tell you every single
thing that's happened to me could happen to you in
the future, could happen to your kids, could happen to
your grandkids.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
You just never know why they picked me. I don't know.
I don't know why they picked me, but they picked me.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
When my brother died. Police customs twenty thirteen. Excuse me,
that's the health center. That's twenty thirteen in complete custody
may give me raight form, and I'm poking for the
answer for allowing me to use it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I'm out trying to make sure that I have the
proper equipment to make sure that I can get onto
our show.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
And it seemed that it's always something coming up that
doesn't allow me to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So we're going to get it right.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
That's why I got a guest on yet, because I
want to make sure that I get it right first
before I invite my guests on and have them go
through this.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
