Speaker 2 (03:47):
Didn't really do anything besides just we went to we
went out to dinner. I took mom out to dinner
and then I took her well Sunday and I'm sure
you've seen it. We went to church, of course, and
then after church we went to Guitar Center and we
just we had some fun. We uh interviewed a couple

(04:11):
of drummers and met a couple of drummers, and Mom
and my uncle and myself we.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Are also all drummers.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
So we just got over the place. Because if Anseline
would have still been with the he would have of course,
you know, left church and went to Guitar Center. That
was the favorite place to be. So in his memory,
we just said some light and love and it was
it was pretty It was pretty cool that day.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, that was a great That's a great place to
be at, you know that, right.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, he, like I said, he really loved being there Insteadville,
North Carolina, where he used to play. He was really
known and the guys there loved him. And Guitar Center
is a great place you can go in there and
jump on drums and you know, they don't even charge you,
just going and hey, you got a parent stick I

(05:02):
can borrow and you can say in it and they
playing drums.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
I love it. Ye candy store.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, you're definitely right about that. That's what I was
about to say.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
How's your experience on the Guitar Center. Do you like
Guitar Center like that? For me?

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah? I mean what musician whatnot? I mean, it's like
it's like candy It's like the candy store from musicians. Yeah.
Well for me, you know, I love I love Guitar
Center because you learned that there's so much to learn

(05:43):
about guitar start. Like you you always you walk in
looking for something, but you walk out with something totally different,
with the different mindset of whether it's meeting people or
finding it finding out a new piece of equipment or software.

(06:05):
You know, it's just you know, it's a it's a
give and take moment for me. You're right, you're right, right.
But the blessing of Guitar Center. If there's something that
you're looking for is not in that store, you can
go online and they will send it to you at

(06:27):
the store that you that you're at.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
That's the only problem that I don't like, bro, I'm sorry,
Why is that? That's the that's the only problem I
don't like. That's only why reason why I go to
Sweet Waters.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Wow. Okay, but I like Guitar Center a little bit
better and they have a little more.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
And then debate begins. Okay, Okay, she says she likes the.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Guitar Center is better.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Okay, all right, okay, So really what I'm saying you
like Guitar Center the best? Why?

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, again, it's my favorite because that's where I initially
seen my brother all the time. Whenever he was if
he was having a bad day, if Antoine wasn't feeling well,
whatever it was, and he couldn't get to a church
to get inside to play drums or whatever the case
may be. They were welcoming to let him in. And

(07:40):
he was so good that.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
He drew a crowd.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
He drew a crowd of people, and people loved him,
and by the time he got off those drums, it
would be like nothing even bothered him. But they never
turned him. He was always able to walk inside of
a guitar send her and played the I mean they
had electronic the electrical drums, they had the regular drums,

(08:06):
they had the DM drums. I'm the drums gout, So
if I say something that's not all the way for act,
please forgive me. But they had a variety of drums,
and I think the last video we had was Antoine
actually playing the electronical drums, the little pad and oh

(08:28):
my goodness, it was him. And then another guy came
up and he was talking to Antoine and then they
just kind of joined together and they sounded so amazing.
But I can walk in. When my brother first passed away,
I walked in the guitar center and I said, do
you does anybody in here? And have y'all ever heard
of Antoine hosting? And they all just welcomed me in

(08:51):
because they knew him and they had heard the story
on what happened to him. And basically that's I love it,
And not just that I went inside. I felt the
love in there, you know, it just made me feel
really good. Any guitar center that I go to, they

(09:13):
walk up to you, how you doing, They speak to you,
They actually, do you need anything? And and I mean
they're just very generous and kind of hurting people. I've
not went to one yet that has been.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Treated me right, and we call that life and savor.
Your brother had a lot of favor upon his life, and.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
You're right about that.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
What's beautiful about it is his favorite still still carries
with him after death.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Wow, that's what he's But that's basically what we're talking
about right now, is his legacy.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's still Yeah, I've given.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Me chills, man, I feel like he.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Is really still here.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yes, my god, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I might get happy up here today, but I really.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Don't have a dream about your brother. You have your dream.
You have a dream about your brother. Your brother will
be seeing you sometime this week.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, and I believe it. I believe it too. I
really believe that too, because he was truly what I
was hearing from you, sis is he was very anointed.
His hands was gifted. His hands, you know, Yeah, his
hands was really gifted. And he knows his craft.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
He did, he did. And when he would play for
these different churches. There's several videos, but when he would
play for different churches, you could.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
See the annoycent on him.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I mean you could really see the anoinment on him.
And what's so powerful about it is the last Sunday
that he played, he gave.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
His life to Christ.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Job he dedicated and and I thought, I find that
amazing because he danced all over the place. I didn't
make it the church that Sunday. I wouldn't really wish
I could have made it. But my mother said he
danced all over the place. And we had no clue

(11:33):
why he was ncing like that, you know what I mean.
I've seen the video they had. They went, they went
live that Sunday, and he jumped up off the drums
and was just dancing. I was running all around the
building and just dancing all over the place. But he
was anointed anywhere that he went. He was an anointed drummer.

(11:54):
And and and for that reason, you know, you act,
you want to act sometimes Why things happen, you know?
And and and you know, I still wonder why. I
don't want to be helping with you, but I still
want to know why. But then I looked back for

(12:16):
the last almost four years, three years, and I see
that there's a work that I had needed to do.
And that's you know, I take that and I say,
and I always talk to my brother, it's amazing, how
you what you just said, Bro, when you said I'm
gonna get a dream, Me and my son had a

(12:36):
dream and we were talking. It wasn't about antwine but him.
He had a dream last night and I had one,
and I was like, maybe God is gonna start letting
us get dreams again. And then here you come to
say this the same day and tell me that my
brother's gonna come visit me in my dream. I need answers.
And that's what I've been praying about. May God get

(13:00):
God shows me my brother. You know what I'm saying.
Let me know that he's at peace. Lets me because
and I still feel like he's here, y'all. I have
not really let him go.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
You know, it's not just you. It's not just you
getting love the answers. We all love the answers.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, we we We want answers. And I want to know,
like God, why is it take it so loan for
us to get those answers. You know, we have to
be patient. You know, it's amazing, and he's he truly,
truly is amazing. But he moved when he wanted to move,
you know what I mean. Where I'm at right now,

(13:46):
I'm like, Lord, please give us justice because we're still
fighting for justice. Guys. We we we still fighting for justice.
And that's some of the things that I'm not here from.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
We have and got enclosure yet.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
You know what I mean. So y'all just keep us
lifting in prayer.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Our family is hurting.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know, Antoine had a twin bro. I don't know
if I told you that, but my sister. He had
a sister Amber, And you know, we're fighting this thing
every day. Never about this would have happened to our family,
And this is why now does what it does, because

(14:30):
we don't want this to happen to anybody else. We
thought we had our all put together, We thought we
had all our kids all put together, we was all connected.
And now one person, one of the closest people that
were to us, that that just really shinned on us.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
It's just really heartbreaking. It's really heartbreaking. So we need
your thoughts and prayers, guys, we really do.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
And the trip part about that, the the trip art
about that the least unexpected is the one is just
carrying the glory for y'all.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
In our business. It is not accorded.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
This is not we have not talked about this, but
the listeners that's out there. We have not had any comfort.
We have not been on the podcast since last Tuesday.
So God is real.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Tonight, Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's all about the first.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
It will shout in a minute, y'all better stop.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
That's what it says. That's what it says. Where there's unity,
their strength.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Wow, y'all don't understand that I need to keep fighting
and and we don't just fight for just this for
our brother. We have other families that we go.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
To court for. We've met, we've actually.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Met the person that the other people's babies' lives sitting
right behind them. We are the people that actually sit
with these families. We have conversations with these families every day.
And then when another if another family loses a loved
one to gun violence, most likely they're pulled into this

(16:30):
group chat that we have and bro you know about it.
So it's very, very very it can be very overwhelming
because we're still fighting these battles ourselves and we're still
trying to put ourselves out there to help other people,
and it's so hard. It's really really hard, y'all.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
That's what this is for. That's basically what this is for.
You just don't know who you're touching now.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
All over the world.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
You're speaking to the world right now, and the world
is listening to your information, and he's listening to your heart,
and he's not listening to you like grieving. He's listening
to your testimony. And that's basically what this is all about.

(17:29):
Your testimony.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, yeah, my testimony is that me and my siblings,
my family, we can really get out there and make
a positive change. That we are few in number. Some
of the older family members, like my grandmother's seventy five,
she can't get out there like that, but she will

(17:52):
spread a word. Okay, she will definitely spread a word.
But you know, I want to be able to touch
the lives of other people, and I want them to
steal my brother's presence through me, through my siblings, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
You know, I.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Believe it or not. All my siblings play drums, every lesson,
every lesson, But we kind of Antoine was the one
that took off, and we've backed up, you know what
I mean, But people back up. We backed up like

(18:28):
I you know, I kind of was the one to
play for my grandfather back in the day. He was
a pastor and there she used to be on the keyboard,
you know. And then we had.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
My my mom and my uncle started.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Off first, and then it was me. Sierra came after me,
that's my sister. And then Don Mbra is the only
one that came played drum like to teach her. But
everybody else back in the day with the one stick
and you just hit it and it just they used

(19:04):
to play it back in the day in.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
The old school churches.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
He plays the drums, you know. So literally it's in
our family. It's rooted in us, and I want to
be able. We're doing this thing right now. So both
my brothers on the line. We're doing this thing right
now where we're actually donating drumsticks to children, and we
were doing that before to stop it a little bit,

(19:29):
but we want to pass out drumsticks to kids all
over the world. We want to pack because we know
what it can do, you know, drumming and therapeutic drumming.
And we have an amazing drummer on the liddle with
us tonight, two amazing drummers. Y'all know what drumming can do.
These are the messages that we're trying to spread to
our youth community, and yes, I do one hundred percent

(19:51):
have state that drumming contains the lives of a lot
of people. And I hope that these guys.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Would agree for me on that.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
I agree with you, says yes, dude, I truly do.
And through your testimony, there is hope, Yes it is.
There is hope. Like like what I'm saying, Hope can

(20:21):
come through a lot of things. It can come through me,
It can come through God, can come through just me
just speaking to you, saying something to you. It can
come through just the anointing.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
It can come through anything.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Anything. There got to put his hands and his voice
on with your your aspect on hope.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
We talked a little bit about I hope last week
and again I'm gonna go back to where I was
last week. I'm hopeful for a lot of things. But
faith without hope is dead.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
So I raise your offer. I started off one hundred
dollars come right now?

Speaker 6 (21:25):
Matter of fact, Well, oh suck, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I'm sorry, I don't I got guys. I apologize, but
I'm I'm serious. I do. I do. I can say
that hope is a great thing, but faith, to me,
is that.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Even greater thing.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
And I just don't want to hope anymore. One I
probably maid if.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
That makes them yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes.
And then let's talk about grace.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Oh, I'm gonna brother who right up on that one.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Grace rather than for my my my whole name is Grace.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
I was.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
I was born May and my my birthday is on
the fifth.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh, so my whole name is Grace.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
That's amazing, that's amazing, great, that's powerful right there.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
So to to the listeners, have you ever been to
been in a situation when somebody had an actor fool
hurt you, mentally used you, and you still gave them

(23:13):
that ad on the red branch and you gave them
that grace.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Mmmmm.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I can speak on that one. We're dealing with that
right now, and I can't get into all details on
the ratio. But with my brother, oh, I have had
to ask God a few times, multiple more than multiple

(23:45):
to help me with one of the biggest things that
some people have an issue with, and that is forgiveness.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I don't know exactly all details and my brother's cakes,
but to whomever caused this pain, I want to say,
if you're listening, I forgive you wholeheartedly because I can't
carry that pain.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
In my soul, in my heart.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I was mad and upset and really just I didn't
know what to say or think at the time. But
I don't carry that rage anymore.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
God has given.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Me some peace, y'all. And is very hard, and again,
like I said, I've been in courtrooms with other families
and it is very hard to hold your composure. But
I have been able to do that, and I think
that that is God's grace upon my life because when

(24:57):
it comes down to seven year olds losing their lives
and you are sitting in the courtroom behind the person
that calls this mother's Pains raise, it's not just me.
My mother was sitting in the courtroom with me that
same day, along with the mother, her mother, her father,

(25:20):
her family. You know, this is why I'm so grateful
to have been a part of this podcast, because I'm
able to share the pain that we experience while still
letting people know that there is truly a God, because

(25:42):
without Guy, I'd have been their slip from table goover y'all. Yeah,
telling you to rage when you first get that phone call,
I don't care how religious you are. Every emotion in
your body. It just it just it's like fireworks. You

(26:04):
really have to pray hard and ask God to get
that spirit a discernment to understand what he feels like,
even if it takes you to have to relocate, which
is one of the reasons why we're in Georgia. I
need it to be alone with God to understand and

(26:25):
so he could settle in my mind mentally, because this
is something that can mentally drain you. But I thank
God for his grace and I thank God for his
mercy because I don't feel the same way I feel.
I do have a heart of forgiveness. I do believe
that justice is coming, and I do believe if I

(26:48):
ever come out of eye with the person that did it,
I want to be the bigger person and say I
forgive you to their faith.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
That's where.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
It takes a whole lot. It takes a whole lot.
It is not easy the days I have to watch
my mother walking in this house, or my grandmother seventy
five years old. Y'all never thought it a million years
it would be her grandson. It took a lot, but

(27:20):
look where we are. We are a loving family.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Both of y'all follow us on social media. You never
see anything negative. It's always positive. We push for that.
We push for that because of ant One to push
through his pain and had purpose behind it.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
So can we.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Anybody listening. I think the world would be a better
place that people would just start forgiving in.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yeah, and this topic that we're gonna talk about it
next is about love. Love can go so many anyways.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
It can go.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
Like how you're doing It can go like like you know,
like you're in the back of if you and McDonald's
you were in and you're just paying it forward to
somebody else and the person don't even know.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
That that you paid it for. It can go so.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Many ways like stay for Saturday Sunday, what.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
You went through?

Speaker 4 (28:37):
What was what was born in at the the drum shop?

Speaker 3 (28:43):
That was love?

Speaker 4 (28:45):
It wasn't even expecting that.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
No, And and they were they actually donated drumsticks to
us some guitar center and they actually have heard about it.
I said, wow, we never really talk about drums up
like that, and Georgia is always really North Carolina, but
they've heard about us, and they gave us some drum
sticks and they told us to keep pushing. That's love.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
That's love. That is true love. That's true love.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Right, that's another onefore, I love Guitar Center. They will
donate us snare drums and each and every event that
we have every year, and we'll give it to a kid.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
That's love.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
That's love, that's definitely loved.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
Heart of love.

Speaker 3 (29:33):

Speaker 3 (30:08):
You're gonna hey that this is what we do, says,
how are you gonna say? Work?

Speaker 4 (30:15):
I was working for four months preparing for the National
Baptist Convention as a band coordinator, so work doesn't bother me.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Come on, look some of the stuff that you do.
And then last week you were talking about the choirs.
Oh man, I had to share that story when you
said there were one hundred and fifty choirs.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I love choirs. So when you have a program, please
