And weekends to hear inspiring stories, uplifting news, and to

Welcome to the Narrative Podcast. I am your host, paulsy Allen.
Welcome all my narratives, Peace, peace piece.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
All right, so now you got to just of the
Narrative Podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I think I know that intro this time I've just
been experimenting on it, you know, try to give a
brief intro, a brief overview in the intro, rather than
waiting a little bit later in the program. I think
it worked out nice. But welcome to the Narrative Podcast.
(03:20):
So as stay in the intro. This is an all
black platform, speak about all things black, you know, whatever's
going on in the world from the black experience or
as I refer to our people on this platform, original
people in the original people culture mission statement of.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The Narrative Podcast is the uplifting edify.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Our people, black people, or as I referred our people
on this platform, original people with the content that I present.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
But anyway, Welcome to the Narrative Podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Gotta go good show for you today, got to show
for you every single time that I broadcast an episode,
a whole lot going on in the world, a whole
lot to digest and process, but you know we're gonna
try to get through it together. Welcome to the platform.
(04:19):
So how I typically start things off as I do
a a format comparison and contrast. I had two different
broadcast times, weekdays and weekends, and I just do a
quick you know, comparison and contrast, you know, just to
(04:40):
demonstrate the difference between the weekdays and the weekends.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Then after I'm done that, I provide.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The a promotional portion of the Narrative podcast.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
This broadcast platform that I'm recording these episodes on, it
comes with a monthly monetary fee, and these projects that
I'll be promoting help generate revenue to sustain the platform.
So the ultimate goal is to you know, transition from
(05:21):
all audio to video and so what you continue to
support that enabled me to do that. So I'm just
making you you aware some projects to support to keep
the platform running and then ultimately upgrade, give it the
upgrades it needs to be an official podcast. Then after
(05:43):
I'm done with the promotional portion of the Narrative podcast,
then I do a broad overview of the platform, just
to you know, equip you with all the nuances of
the platform and just help you get the maximum benefits
of you know, listening to the platform, you know, just
(06:05):
putting it into perspective and seeing where all the dots
connect and you know, just help you maximize your listening experience.
Then after I'm dealing with the broad overview of the
Narrative podcast, then I dive into the content itself. So
here we go getting things started with the comparison and
(06:28):
contrast section of the Narrative podcast starting with the you
know the weekday format style. So the whole purpose of
the Narrative podcast is to share positive frames of reference
about our people in our culture. As a matter of fact,
that's my actual slogan the Narrative Podcast, changing the narrative
(06:50):
one episode at the time by destroying negative stereotypes about
original people and original people culture. How do I destroy
the negative stereotypes about our people and our culture by
providing positive frames of reference.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
About our people and our culture. And so.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
A positive frame of reference that I provide during the
week days about our people in our culture. I focus
on delivering positive news articles. And the reason why I
feel it's necessary to focus on the positive over the
negative is all week day long, we're constantly being bombarded.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
With negative news.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
So that's kind of the whole purpose of sharing positive
news articles. The reason why we receive negative news all
week day long is, you know, the people that run
the media is a part of their agenda to put
out negative frames of reference about our people and our culture.
They flood the media just with everything negative they can
(07:52):
think about, you know, as in reference or concern to
our people in our culture, but not just in the
media far as like the news is, it doesn't stop
at just the news.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
It's all forms of media.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's movies, television shows, uh, magazines, books, plays, uh, you know,
just negatively depicting our people's images and likenesses. So with
that constant absorption of this NonStop barrage of negativity, you know,
(08:28):
that kind of gets ingrained into our psyches and in
our subconscious level, we tend to as a people, act
out these negative you know, these negative cues to get
ingrained into our subconsciousness. So, like I said, it's a
part of an agenda. They want to manipulate our minds
(08:52):
and control our uh, control our thoughts and modest to
being what they want us to be, which is nothing.
They want to deviate us from our true nature and
our true nature it's kings and queens, gods and goddess
of the universe. And that's how we should our images
and likenesses should be accurately depicted across the all media
(09:16):
uh part all media platforms. So you know, that's the
whole purpose of me sharing the positive news articles as
it doesn't just affect our people as well, it affects
our relationships from people outside of our culture.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It's all they're given to them.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
The process our people and our.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Culture is just the frames of reference handed to them
by the media. So all they're seeing is you know,
all there seeing and hearing is negativity. So that's how
they interact with us and engage us based on these
frames of reference that they're given, you know, by the
media and hearing in the music, seeing on on television
(10:01):
and in the music on the news.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You know, it creates a.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Negative, false perception of our people. So it's not about
caring what they think or feeling we have. Let's know,
we have to enlighten it. This is just about again,
you know, putting it into perspective. So that's why I
share positive news articles during the week days, is just
to put it all into perspective, to undo the psychological
(10:35):
programming and conditioning, and then also to demonstrate the positive
things do happen within our community. Then after I'm done
with my delivering my positive news articles, then i have
a section called my speaking point section, you know. So
the speaking point section is just a section where I'm
(10:56):
speaking about current events, whatever is going on in the media,
any type of news either directly affecting or impacting our community.
That you know, specific headlines about something specifically happening in
our community, or things that may impact or influence our community,
(11:17):
whether it's you know, national news, global news, or just
something happened directly within our community. So that's my speaking
point section. I do that in order to control the narrative.
Is the media have a funny little way of having
(11:37):
us looking and sound and crazy. So there it is
my weekday format. It's only two sections long. So that's
again something I forgot to say, like in the effort
to make this experience efficient, you know, for the listener,
(11:59):
i'am line d you know, I've broken it down the sections.
Each section has speaking points in our time ese section,
so you know there it is during the weekdays. That's
probably the most convenient time to listen to the Narrative
podcast is the weekdays. It only has two sections. This
is the weekend, so typically this is a longer episode.
(12:21):
This has more sections. I'm not going to break down
each section. I'm going to break them down as I
come to them, but I really want you to be
aware of, you know, the major difference between the frames
of reference that I covered during the weekdays and the weekends.
(12:43):
So the main things I really want to focus on was,
you know how they are the format styles different. So
my main format, my main positive frame of reference that
I focus on today the weekends, it's business ownership and entrepreneurialism.
(13:03):
And the reason why I focus on that is because
we're not giving a whole lot of positive frames of
reference about business ownership and entrepreneurialism is because the media
people that run the media rather, they don't want us
to have those positive frames of reference to draw inspiration from.
(13:24):
They don't want us knowing that we can own our
own businesses and you know, being a respectable feel that
you know that benefits us personally, enriches our lives personally,
so we'll be able to financially sustain ourselves, take care
of our families, and take care of our communities like
(13:47):
as we once did a long time ago, specifically those
of us living here in America United States of America.
We had our own townships, we had our own everything,
our own banks, our own you know, eateries, places of
(14:09):
retail to buy clothes, you know, hardware stores, everything, grocery stores.
So they don't want us to ever get back into
that mindset to where we're taking care of ourselves and
taking care of our communities and not being reliant and
(14:30):
dependent upon and dependent upon, you know, these government resources.
And then they also want to distract us by promoting
all that negativity, promoting all that propaganda, promoting all the
negative stigmas and stereotypes about our people and our culture.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
They want to push.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Gang culture, they want to push drug culture, they want
to push thought culture, and then they want to deflect
away from intelligence and you know, black economics. So that's
why I promote the positive frame of reference about business
(15:15):
ownership and entrepreneurialism.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
You know, on the weekends.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And in that section, what I'm also doing is I'm
promoting black owned businesses, promoting black unity, promoting black owned businesses.
By promoting businesses, so letting the listeners know what businesses
to support, and then also helping controlling our dollars within
(15:47):
our communities and creating our own infrastructure. Then I do
have a selection, a criteria selection of the businesses I
promote in that section. I call that section my highlights section.
And what I'm doing is I'm highlighting business owners and entrepreneurialism.
(16:12):
So I'm basically giving you an in depth look about
who they are as an individual, their unique journey, and
I'm including specific details you need to know about the
individual and then specific details you need to know about
(16:35):
whatever business you know or industry that they run. You know,
everything to play the role into them becoming a business
owner an entrepreneur, all their past educational experiences, vocational training experiences,
personal relationships. Some other information I try to include is
(16:57):
their hometown and you know the year they're born, if
I can find their information and you know, just any
specific details about the individual, any specific details about their
company I include in that section. So basically it's just
like a brief miniature bio of the person in their business,
(17:21):
you know, telling you their best sellers and you know
what their business is known for, and then specifics about
the person.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Like I said, and my qualifying.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Criteria I use a qualify a person for the highlight
section goes as followed.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It must be a black owned business that must hire
their own.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You know, and then perform some type of philanthropy or
community outreach in the community that they're rooted in. They
either have to have their own nonprofit organization or pay
into one, or you know, do something that benefits the community.
And then they also must have lined up with my
nationally record my theme, which is nationally recognized days or
(18:10):
nationally recognized months. And so that's the highlight section of
the Narrative podcast. And then another reason why I do
it on the weekends is because when I first started
this podcast series, my only broadcast day.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Was the weekends.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
When I first started podcasting, I only used the podcast
on the weekends.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
The weekdays got added later.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So from my weekends, you know, when I first started podcasting,
I didn't know what I wanted to talk about. I
streamlined it, gave myself a topic and I streamlined it again.
You know. It made it more easy to listen to
a more digestible, more time e fishing. And so that's
just basically how the Narrative podcast came to be. You know,
(19:01):
it's two format styles. So yeah, and like I said,
we're going to do a deeper dive. I'm a covertych
section as I come to them, you know, later on
in the program.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
But I just wanted you to just.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
See how the two different format styles differ from one another.
Now we're going to dive into the promotional portion of
the Narrative Podcast by me promoting the very first thing
I'd like to promote, and that's the podcast itself, obviously,
(19:42):

(20:07):
you want to look for my podcast, just make sure
it's the one hosted by me, Paul Cy Allen. If
you want to listen to all Black Content, All Things Black,
because all those other podcasts out there titled the Narrative Podcast,
you know, they're not guaranteed to get that type of
(20:29):
topic content. You know, it's fair use. That's why there
are so many podcasts titled the Narrative Podcast. You can't
really trademark that. You know, the title of that podcast,
you can't really trademark that title. That's why there are
(20:50):
so many podcasts out there titled the Narrative Podcast. So
when you're going to one of those audio podcast streaming sites,
just make sure you're listening to the correct Narrative podcast
and that will be the one hosted by me Hawsey

access without no problem because my videos are shared publicly
on YouTube. My YouTube page is Halsey Allen and so like,
comment and share on all the Narrative podcasts videos uploaded
in my videos on YouTube. Now keep in mind these
are older episodes of the Narrative podcast. I don't have
(26:21):
any new episodes uploaded the YouTube of the Narrative Podcast.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
The reason for that is because.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
YouTube changed their community guidelines and policies and.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
What it did so.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Left this platform in non compliance with the new community guidelines.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
And rather than you know, upgrading their.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Equipment to be in compliance, what they did is just
remove YouTube from their distributor as a distributor, so you
can't upload content for YouTube anymore from this platform. However,
you can still support the Narrative podcast from YouTube by
(27:08):
supporting all those older episodes on YouTube. YouTube didn't delete
all the old episodes of the Narrative podcast before they
updated their community.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Guidelines and policies.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
So go to my YouTube page which is just Halsey
Allen like comment and share all those older episodes it's
on YouTube, and then that'll do it as far as
supporting the Narrative podcast and the promotional portion of the
(27:46):
Narrative Podcast promotional section. The next thing I'd like to
promote is my book of poetry that I've written. It
is titled The Black Card, and there's a thirty page
book of poetry chronic chronically the Black Experience. You know,
(28:07):
everything we experience as a people, everything we go through
as a people, both positive and negative, it is highlighted

hang out, make some friends, do the social media thing.
You can d in each other, write on each other's walls,
same thing you do on all other social media platforms.
They also have games, activities, and contests, daily writing prompts
(29:14):

unique is they have built in self publishing software which
will allow all the social media users on that platform
the ability to write, published, market and sell books that

why they have a virtual online bookstore, you know. It

(30:02):
title isn't called The name of my book is called
The Black Card, written by me Hawsey Allen, and I'll
give you a more in depth description of the book.
The Black Card is a poetic manifesto or lyrical tribute
to the frugality, resilience, and richness of the black experience,
(30:24):
the bolt versus the cut, deep in imagery, the sores.
The Black Card reclaims dignity, demands, respects, and honors the
legacy of the people struggling in the strength, culture and

all the poems posting on his poetry Corner.

You know in life, every you know, anything you are
currently experiencing life, experiencing in life right now, or have

pretty much am a poet. That's what I was doing
before I started doing this podcast. You know, got books

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Haus's poetry corner at on Blogger dot com, at ww
dot mister ows blogs dot com all his poetry Corner,
Poetry with a Passion, Poetry for All occasions. Uh, some
more unique points about it. Each of those poems were
spontaneously written. I didn't contemplate on any of the subject matter.
(36:36):
You never be able to guess it. Because the poems
posted on theirs are so intricate and detail and specifically detailed,
you've never guessed by reading them that I just spontaneously
wrote them. I didn't, you know, contemplate anything. You know,
they just came completely random. Whatever the poem is about,
(36:59):
I guarantee you he was the furthest thing, you know,
on my mind at the time he was written.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
That's how I know.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
That's just really a part of my gift, because they're
never None of the poems are ever posted about me.
You know, nothing that I can draw, you know, from
personal experience, from even poems about you know, things that
happen in my community I can't really relate to.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
But whoever goes to.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
That site, you know, locks in on it and appreciates
me for right me, you know, expressing myself like that,
even poems about people in my family, you know, when
they passed away. I got some poems on there to
honor my mother, my aunt, and a cousin you know,
(37:55):
very near and dear to me. But I had already
found closure when I wrote those poems. So other people

(41:11):
the narrative podcast hosted by Halsey Allen, so people know
exactly what you're talking about, because, like I said, there
are millions of podcasts out there titled the narrative podcast.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
But by saying hosted by Hawsey Allen that you know,
that clears it up.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
You know, there can be no mystery about waste podcast
that you're talking about. So that's that's all for the
promotional portion of the near the podcast. Now we're going
to dive on into the broad overview of the narrative
podcast before diving into the content itself. So starting at
(41:50):
the top, the tippy with the name. I named my
podcast the Narrative Podcasts. I don't like the false and
narrative surrounding the depiction of our people's images and likenesses
across all social media platforms. So that's the initial reason
why I started this podcast with that in mind, to
(42:12):
change the overall perception of how our people are viewed
across all media platforms, thus changing the narrative.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
Hence the title the Narrative Podcast.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Now, one of the first nuances you need to be
acquainted with and listening to the Narrative podcast is how
I greet all my listeners. How why I coined the
term narrator. So I was inspired to coin the term
narrator through the textbook definition of the word narrator, and
(42:49):
the narrator is just basically a person who tells or
narrates the story. They narrate the stories to contextualize it
for the audience so the audience has a broader sense
of what's going on in the story, just breaking the
story down plainly so they could follow a long and
(43:11):
keep up with what's going on in the story. And
I feel that's very necessary for our people. And how
I equate it the textbook definition into what I feel
our people should.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
Be doing with our own story.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Is through a little saying that I've heard that I've
picked up somewhere. If you don't tell your own story,
your own story will be told for you.
Speaker 4 (43:38):
And that's precisely what the media is doing.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
They're telling our story for us, you know, they're telling
all the key players, they're promoting who they want to promote,
you know, and they're putting out the false, inaccurate, general,
overall broad analysis of our people in our culture, you know.
(44:02):
So that's precisely why we need to tell or narrates
our own stories, because why we can't change, you know,
with the media chooses to show about our people and
our culture, you know, on its platform. We can choose
what we want to on our own platforms. We can
(44:25):
decide our own fates on our own platforms. That's why
we need to tell or narrates our own stories. And
so that's why I coin the term narrator for my
listening audience. So this is how now I'm going to
tell you how to be an effective narrator.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Now that you know what the narrator is.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
So since I coined the term narrator, I'm obviously a
narrator myself. Every episode of the Narrative podcast, I provide
listeners with positive of reference about our people in our
culture and audio format. So I'm giving you positive frames
(45:07):
of reference about our people in our culture and audio format.
So I'm changing the narrative on my end one episode
at the time as a narrator.
Speaker 4 (45:22):
And now how you how you can be the narrator
on your end.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
While I'm changing narrative on my end one episode at
the time, you can change the narrative on your end
one social media post at the time by posting positive
visual content.
Speaker 4 (45:42):
About our people in our culture, putting positive.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
Visual frames of reference on your content platforms, especially if
you're content creator.
Speaker 4 (45:55):
But check check it out. Here's the tricky part.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
So not only do you put out positive you know,
frames of reference about our people in our culture as
to be a narrator, the types of positive frames of
reference that you put out has to directly challenge or
contradict a negative stereotype about our people and our culture.
(46:22):
You see, And that's how you become an effective merit
by putting out positive frames of reference that challenge and
contradict negative stereotypes about our people in our culture. So,
for example, there is a negative uh stereotype about our
(46:47):
people being lazy. So as a narrator, to contradict that
negative frame of reference, you will want to put out
a positive visual image of yourself or somebody from our community,
or somebody that you know from our community engaging in
(47:10):
or doing something active, either physically active or mentally active
with acting to contradict the negative stereotype that our people
are lazy, some being active, not just being active, being proactive.
To contradict that negative stereotype. There's also a negative stereotype
(47:34):
about us being unintelligent. So to contradict that negative stereotype
about our people and our culture, which you would want
to upload is visual images depicting us, you know, being
or engaging in some type of intellectual, intellectually challenging or
(47:57):
stimulating activities such as excelling in some form of academics,
getting really high marks, graduating at an excelsior level, something
like that. You know, and I can name more and
(48:17):
more examples, you know, to contradict negative stereotypes and stigmas
about our people and our culture. But you know, if
you can't think of any of the examples our name
of one surefire way you can positively change the narrative
visually on your own media platform is just to upload
(48:41):
the visual image of happiness, either you, yourself, somebody from our community,
or you know somebody you know being just generally happy,
enjoying life at peace, calm, unbothered, living your best life.
(49:03):
You know, that totally disrupts this power structure the people
that run the media. That throws a really big monkey
rich of their plans. That disrupts the program. Like I said,
there is an agenda out there to tarnish our reputations,
(49:25):
to grote and push false images of us engaging in
you know, stereotypical behavior. By you being unfazed, unbothered, living
your best life, being happy, that disrupts the program because
they want us to be angry all the time. That
want us to be depressed, sad, you know, feeling overwhelmed.
(49:50):
But when you expose that part of you know us,
you know that that shakes things up because you know,
it makes their all their efforts for nothing. Like they
put all these obstacles in our past and design to
set the system up for us to fill and we're
still winning. You know, So if nothing else, just posts
(50:16):
happy content as a narrator. Now what brings me to
my next thing? You need to be I feel you
need to be aware of when listening to the Mirror podcasts,
I refer to our people here as original people, as
opposed to being black people. Now not that I feel
(50:40):
personally that there's a whole lot, you know, wrong with
the word black to describe.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Our people and our culture.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
But I think, you know, the word original was more
accurate description of who we are as a people. It
embodies and captures our essence to a t.
Speaker 4 (51:04):
Everything about it. I'll just go over you know, the
main reasons.
Speaker 3 (51:09):
Why I personally refer to our people as original people.
Speaker 4 (51:14):
So first and for work for most, the word.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
Original hit hintset being authentic and unique and one of
a kind. There's nobody more authentic, unique, in one of
a kind than our people. We are the most influential,
impactful people in the entire world. Everybody follows, you know,
all our trends and tries to, you know, sound like us,
(51:40):
look like us in all in any and all areas
and avenues and fasts like We are the most imitated
people in the entire world. Everybody is inspired by our people.
So that's why I refer to our people as original
(52:02):
people from that aspect of you know, the textbook definition
of the word original, you know, definition also hints at
being first, you know, and that part definitely is true
(52:22):
for our people, because we are the first beings to
ever exist in the entire world. As a matter of fact,
all other routes of people derived directly from us. We
mother to father civilization. Who was the original everything? Before
anything existed, We existed. You know, There's never been a
(52:48):
time period that our people, the original people, didn't exist.
Not only were we here first, we also originated you know,
all modern learned forms of learning and philosophy and.
Speaker 4 (53:07):
Enlightenment.
Speaker 3 (53:09):
We originated written and spoken language. We originated biology, we
originated chemistry, We originated science, mathematics, originated architecture, we built everything.
(53:32):
We're originated modern medicine. You're the original healers, doctors, and
the list goes on. We are the original tribe of man,
the original everything. That's why I refer to our people
(53:55):
as original people.
Speaker 5 (53:56):
On you.
Speaker 3 (54:01):
Now, since we're on the topic of history, every episode
of the Narrative podcast, I also must, you know, point
out a very important part of history while staying true
to my overall mission statement of the Narrative podcast, which
(54:25):
is to destroy the negative stereotypes of Stigma is about
our people and our culture. So one of the biggest misnombers,
one of the most inaccurate misnombers attached with who we.
Speaker 4 (54:40):
Are as a people.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
The biggest false narrative you can possibly think of when
speaking on our people is slavery. They have symbiotically attached
to our people and the sign and appointed a time
(55:05):
when our people were enslaved as the most definitive time
of our existence. They want to skip over all the
things that we did for humanity before we enslect, before
we were enslaved as a people, and single out slavery
(55:26):
and make that, you know, the definitive reason why we
exist anywhere in the world we currently exist, like they
want to sell this false narrative, we only got to
wherever we're currently residing is because they enslaved our ancestors,
(55:48):
our African ancestors at that and balked into that part
of the world. And that's the only reason why we
exist in that part of the world, especially those of
us living in the United States, when in reality, all
they did is, you know, reclassify us as another group
of people. We are the original indigenous natives of every
(56:13):
single place you can possibly think of. Like I said,
we were here thousands of years before any other civilization.
Speaker 4 (56:23):
So did you think we were sitting over there in
Africa since you said that's where we all came from.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
Waiting for Europeans and white Spaniards to come there, enslave
us and drop us off into all these different little
places along the trans Atlantic slave trade. Yeah, it sounds
stupid when you say it out loud.
Speaker 4 (56:55):
So while some they did get some African slaves, all
of us are not derived, you.
Speaker 3 (57:05):
Know, from you know, Africa. We was already originally invigenously
located in that land, especially those of us living in
the United States of America, we for sure got reclassified.
They put us on plantations with some That's the key
(57:28):
word that they leave out of history.
Speaker 4 (57:30):
Some Africans stay enslaved that they bought from Africa.
Speaker 3 (57:36):
But that just you know what I'm saying on the whole,
that's that part of it, the inaccuracy of the history
surrounding slavery. Whatever they didn't, you know, get correct, you know,
(57:57):
whatever they didn't exaggerate. They just completely allied about it.
You have to do your due diligence to find out
the exaggerations and the lies on your own. But you know,
we're just trying to break down a whole lot of these,
you know, false narrative surrounding slavery as it pertains to
(58:19):
and relates to our people. Another reason why they keep
on perpetuating this false narrative is to separate us and
divide us as a people, keep us arguing and fighting
amongst ourselves by putting out false information, trying to separate
(58:39):
us and divide us, which is working great. You know,
the common thing we get American blasts we have no
sense of identity.
Speaker 4 (58:51):
We don't know who.
Speaker 3 (58:51):
We are as a people, when you know we are
the original inhabitants of this land. We are the original
Native Americans. The Native Americans who they say are the
Native Americans, the ones that's currently all these reservations and
hotels and casinos are not.
Speaker 4 (59:14):
They're not the real envisionous people of this land.
Speaker 3 (59:20):
They are Mongols, they are Siberians, and the ones that
aren't that are descended from white people. And they had
a term called five dollars Indian which where white people
could change their whole identity to avoid paying taxes. For
five dollars, they could say they were Native Americans and
(59:42):
receive all the benefits that the Native gear quotes Native
Americans received for a small fee of five dollars. The
only actual thing that got actually correct about the whole
(01:00:05):
you know, slavery in its entirety, is how we were tortured.
During slavery, they actually did used to make wallets and
other accessories out of our flesh. They actually did used
to eat us. They actually did used to torture our children.
They used to use our babies for alligator baby. They
(01:00:27):
got that right. You know, the term good morning that
even comes from slavery that had slave roots in it.
They would taunt the slaves by asking them did they
have a good warning? Because you know, people were always
(01:00:48):
dying in the slave quarters, and so the slave masters
would ask the slaves every time they would go over there,
did you have a good warning? That's why I kind
of I always every time somebody says good morning to me,
I just be like, oh hi, how you doing?
Speaker 4 (01:01:10):
There's nothing good about mourning?
Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
But yeah, that's just like and not even scratching the
surface of all the inaccuracies about slavery. But the primary
(01:01:36):
reason why they keep on perpetuating that false narrative is
to keep us, you know, in an enslaved mind state,
to keep us fearful, to keep us docile. They tell
us to forget about slavery, but yet keep on surrounding
(01:01:57):
us with you know, symbols and monuments that honor slavery.
So they want to promote and push fear. They want
to stoke fear you know, within us and grant that fear,
and it's a slavery. That's why they keep on pushing
(01:02:18):
this false slave narrative. But like I said, do your
own due diligence. I just try to, you know, inject
that in every episode to kind of debunk and chisel
away at this false narrative surrounding you know, the mint
(01:02:40):
of slavey. Not saying it didn't actually happen, but the
way they you know, it's described to us, and the
way it's written in the history books, keyword his story,
you know, it depicts us as being weak and dicile
and a frame even fearful, when the reality we were
(01:03:03):
always warriors, and reality we revoted the entire time of slavery.
And that's one of the biggest key reasons why they
you know, ended slavery is because we were we were
revolting and fighting, you know, so hard against you. But yeah,
(01:03:29):
and then last, but not least, I refer to our
people as original people to unify us as one united
people because we all have the same life force, the
same life blood flowing through our veins. We are all
(01:03:50):
one family, even though we have many facets saying we
should delineate and separate from one another. I'm a firm
believer we should honor and uphold our unique cultural expressions
and traditions alive and intact, and we should, you know,
(01:04:15):
be very prideful of that. But then also respect each other,
you know, culture, and not you know, go out of
our way to undermine each other or you know, detegrate
each other in any way. So yeah, because people outside of
(01:04:42):
our culture, when they look at us, all they see
is black.
Speaker 6 (01:04:46):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:04:46):
They don't they don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Your your you know, they don't know you speak French
until you speak French. They don't know you speak Spanish
until you speak Spanish. The only reason why he speak
spent French and Spanish because the French and Spanish colonized
wherever you're at. Let's get that right, But Poortuguese in
(01:05:15):
any other language that we speak other than you know,
whatever other native time. But anyway, I feel like or
know for a fact, the term original applies to all
(01:05:36):
of us, not just to all of us, to only us,
because no other group of people besides us can say
we were here first. So, you know, referring to ourselves
as original people, I think that universally, you know, applies
(01:05:56):
to all of us. We're all melanated, y'all be pausess
how of carbon aka melanin. Y'all can trace our lineage
back to the original point of origin. We're gonna argue
and be baked where the original port of origin is
for our people from here to the end of time,
(01:06:19):
because there's scholars that God receipts to be like. Some
people believe what was right here in the United States,
some people believe it was Africa. Wherever you believe, you know,
whichever side of the argument that you fall on, we
can still trace our lineage back to the original.
Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Point of origin.
Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
It's true on both sides that we are the original
people of that region. So you know, to unify us
as a people. That's why I refer to our people
as original people on this platform. And then moving right along, Narrera,
(01:07:02):
the podcast is positive safe space for original people. I
don't engage of promoting the gossip, slander, or denigration of
our people.
Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
It's all about.
Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
Uplifting, edification and unification of our people, you know, promoting
our greatness and instilling positivity. And you just feel uplifted
and enlightened every time you listen to an episode of
the Narrative podcast. So that's what it's all about. It's
(01:07:38):
not about put downs, name calling, bashing. It's just all
about uplooking the edification of our people and our culture.
No name calling, no roasting, or none of that. It's
just a positive safe space for original people. However, however,
(01:08:00):
an exception, that exception to every rule, and the one
exception to the no name called them, no put down
rule is if somebody you know from our culture intentionally
goes out of their way to misrepresent our culture, then
if I'm in this position to where I have to
(01:08:22):
speak about them, you know, in my speaking point, then
I'm not going to be so nice. Other than that,
it's a positive safe space for original people. But speaking
of speaking points, all my speaking points, everything that I
talk about centers around the bigger picture, and typically anything
(01:08:48):
negative happening within our community, anything negative, you know, targeting
or impacting our community can really be broken down by
two things. It's either it's either one or the two,
or the combination of both psychological programming and systemic oppression
(01:09:17):
or systemic racism, whatever you want to call it. That's
pretty much how I center everything around everything that I
speak around, especially begin to speaking point section. But you know,
as far as the general tone of the Narrative podcast
(01:09:37):
is a positive, safe space for original people. And last
but not least, it's a time sense of the platform.
Try not to see one hour per broadcast. The broad
overview of the Narrative Podcast is the longest section of
the Narrative Podcast. Pretty much every other section is very short,
briefing to the point, I don't have all day to talk,
(01:10:00):
and I know you don't have all day to listen.
I want you to have to clear your entire schedule
just to listen to an entire episode of the Narray Podcast.
I want to make my content informational, educational, and then
also to entertain you.
Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
To some small degree.
Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
So if I can't stay relevant, if I'm boring you
to sleep, I wanted you attentive and you know, anticipating
my next episode so you can follow along with with
the episode and you know, go out and apply it
in real time.
Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
So that's it, and that's all.
Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
That's everything I feel you should know about listening to
the Narrative Podcast. You know, to download this episode and
I'll pret just recorded episodes of the Narrative Podcast wherever
each podcast sources from. And now we're going to dive
on into this week end edition of the Narrative Podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:11:03):
With my very first section of the Narrative Podcast. This
section is called just to reiterate the highlight section. In
this section, I'm speaking about or I'm highlighting business owners
and entrepreneurs. And like I said in the intro, one
(01:11:30):
of the qualifying factors that our criterias, you know, the
business has to meet, they must align up with my
nationally recognized day or nationally recognized month. To this week's
theme is nationally recognized day. Today is.
Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
August ninth, So today's nationally recognized day is National Bowling Day.
And so now I'm going to give you a brief
history of National Bowling Day. Nationally Bowling Day has ancient
(01:12:22):
roots than all the way back to ancient Chemic.
Speaker 4 (01:12:27):
You know, ancient Pharaohs had a gang.
Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
Similar to what it's bowling now, where they used to
hit objects with an iron spear to see, you know,
how many objects they can knock down. Then later on
became colonized with the Europeans and started doing business with
(01:12:53):
the Europeans. There's even some lord to suggest it has
pirate routes, you know, in the routes of the Caribbeans,
where there were sailors, not pirates. Actually, you know history history,
(01:13:13):
they made them pirates. Anyway, They used to play a
game where they would use cannon balls and knock down.
Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
Wooden pins, and later on.
Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
In the eighteen hundred, fingerholes were added to help control
the ball and adding spin. Sport was originally originally being
fits only for men to participate in, and women were
(01:13:53):
allowed to play at all until they formed their own
league in nineteen seventy. After the global impact of bowling,
it was declared nationally observed holiday on August thirteenth and
(01:14:16):
typically celebrated on the second Saturday in August, which is
today It was also for a time used as a
(01:14:38):
part part of a marketing campaign to try to pitch
it as a sports for the US Olympic Games. So
I don't think they ever got added as a sport,
but you know, they were trying to pitch it for,
(01:15:01):
you know, a sport to be added at the US Open.
But I think they eventually will if Lowes got at
it as official sport. I think bowling will probably make
its way to the Olympics sometimes. But that's pretty much
(01:15:21):
the history of bowling.
Speaker 4 (01:15:25):
And now on to the highlight section.
Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
So this week in the highlights section, we will be
focusing on businesses that produce, manufacture, or sell the nationally
or item indicative of the nationally recognized day.
Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
So today will be highlighting bowling alleys.
Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
So the very first business I'll be highlight light in
the highlight section today is.
Speaker 4 (01:16:03):
A bowling alley by the name of Skyward Bowgue Sports
in Bar Grill.
Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
You can find out more about it by visiting visiting
them online at Skyway, I said Skyward partner Skyway Bowl
Chicago dot com. It was established in twenty nineteen by
(01:16:37):
the late Johnny Hill and his wife.
Speaker 4 (01:16:42):
Mary. The current owner is their daughter, Branita Hill.
Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
So before we get to miss Brenita, we gotta tell
Johnny's story. So Johnny was originally from South and migrated
to Chicago after doing the stint in the Korean War.
Speaker 4 (01:17:09):
He was born and raised in Farmsdale, Alabama, two sharecroppers.
He grew up picking cotton.
Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
They also raised sugarcane and sold moonshine. As an adult,
he left the South, went and joined the army, and
eventually Margaret migrated to Chicago. H While over in the war,
(01:17:39):
he developed a serious case of frostbite and that which
ended up giving him an honorable discharge, and then that's
when he moved to Chicago.
Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
Once in Chicago, he got worked as a factory.
Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
Worker at a local steel mill, where he worked for
twenty years before injuring himself. He got his fingers cut
off in the steel mill.
Speaker 4 (01:18:16):
He had to quit that job.
Speaker 3 (01:18:23):
So after quitting that job, he became pretty much an activist.
He got really connected with the whole activism movement and
you know, wanted to be a part of it. So
the first way to be a part of it, you
can't support your community if you can't help yourself. So
he very much made friends in that movement. You know,
(01:18:46):
he's coming up in the cloth of like people like
Fred Hampton and other revolutionaries. So the very first point
of order is to you know, hook up with some politicians.
They got him some really good jobs, because you can't
be a part of the movement if you don't have
the proper finances, if you can't take care of yourself,
(01:19:08):
how can you ever take care of the community.
Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
So he was a bailiff.
Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
They got him a job as a bailiff, and then
at some point he was ADMB license examiner, city water official.
(01:19:47):
Before owning sky Bowl, he got interested in the sport
of bowling and became manager alongside his wife at a
local bowling alley which would go he would go on
to purchase it.
Speaker 4 (01:20:04):
And it would become a Skyway.
Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Uh. It was Hosted Bowl at the time. You and
him and his wife were managing it and then you know, ultimately, uh,
they opened up a position where they can purchase it.
Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
The former owner wanted to step down.
Speaker 3 (01:20:33):
And you know, he sees the opportunity to purchase Hosted Bowl.
It was also an entrepreneur. Outside of that, he owned
gas stations, laundromats, dry cleaners, apartments, managed apartments, liquor stores
(01:20:56):
and inconvenience stores. Who was also highly skilled, had a
whole lot of vocational skills under his relt UH performed HVAC,
plumbing and carpentry and all his properties that done. His
(01:21:22):
wife was also an instrumental part of the partnership. She
was responsible for getting them U sponsored and certified through
the us d C University of British Columbia. That's just
(01:21:42):
you know, the National League of Bowling kind of like
the you know, the NBA, NBA or the NFL, just
the National League, you know, just uh, they hold up
to this that standard.
Speaker 4 (01:21:59):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
And then of course Johnny ended up passing away and
twenty fifteen, I believe, yeah, passed away in twenty fifteen,
and that's when.
Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
His daughter, Bernita Hill stepped up. She was actually employed
for twenty years.
Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
Before taking over the RAINS and IBM as a network
communications specialists. So there was a whole lot of good money,
made a whole lot of skill sets. Now, what makes
his bowling alley unique is that there is community based.
(01:22:50):
That's the whole reason why he took over and went
the bowl in the first place.
Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
So as people can have somewhere to go.
Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
Also to create john out for the community that sponsor
and advocate a whole lot of things in Chicago, breast
cancer awareness, you know, nonprofit youth organizations.
Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
Uh. They also host.
Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
Meetings there for community activisy meetings.
Speaker 4 (01:23:22):
Pretty much, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
It's the nerve center of you know, the community as
far as the movement in Chicago is, uh, you know,
concerned and it still rides and lives today.

nineteen sixty one and it was the oldest black owned.
The credit is being the oldest black on bowling alley
in Cleveland, Ohio. The two current owners are Brett brothers
by the name of Chris Brooks and Tommy Norris Junior,
(01:27:07):
two many each other while employed on the respective fields
in the hospitality industry.
Speaker 4 (01:27:13):
Chris was in food and Thomas was bartending. At the
time upon meeting, they quickly saw they had a lot
in common.
Speaker 3 (01:27:26):
They both were very proud to be from Cleveland, Ohio,
and they want to preserve, you know, their rich culture
and traditions and you know, things that they were proud
of about.
Speaker 4 (01:27:42):
The city, particularly Euphoria.

up in proximity to. You know, Euphoria had really good
memories of boring beer and it was going out of business.
So the too collaborated to you know, give enough resources

section of the Narrative Podcast Weekend edition. There's a bowling
alley called All Strike Lanes. To find out more about it,
go to All Strike Lanes dot com.

It was formerly Glass Bowl Lanes.
Speaker 3 (01:31:09):
It was established in two thousand and twenty two by
Lakda Carter and LaToya Brown. No public records on their
respective backgrounds. The reason why I chose it because it's
a black woman owned business and bowling is still to
(01:31:30):
this day a male dominating sports. So to see two
sisters come together and quarter resources and purchase a bowling alley,
you know that's really remarkable. They also do charitable events
for the community. They had a food truck. They have
(01:31:55):
an annual food truck festival on Labor Day that gives.
Speaker 4 (01:32:00):

(01:33:56):
with they having a snack bar, I think they got
a snack bar. But yeah, they definitely do have a
snack bar fully loaded pretty much anything you could throw
in the deep Friday they have. They don't have a
(01:34:17):
full restaurant. They just got you know, snack food, you know,
just you know, Yep, that's pretty much.
Speaker 4 (01:34:42):
It's Please join me into giving the Warm Narrative Podcast
to the current owners of All Straight Lanes, Miss Lakeitha
Carter and LaToya Brown. All right, now we're moving on
(01:35:12):
to the next portion of the Narrative podcast. This portion
is called the Spotlight section.
Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
It's very similar to the section I just finished the
Highlight section, with one key difference. While I'm focusing on
the main frame of reference was positive business owners and entrepreneurialism,
the Spotlight section just focus on focuses on an individual.
(01:35:43):
You know, I'm walking you through their journey, the individual's
journey for being positive and impacting our community in a
positive way, either through some form of advocacy or philanthropy
or activism.
Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
And the reason why I feel.
Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
The need to have a spotlight section is as I believe,
you know, our people we need to be positively reinforced.
There's just not enough positive reinforcement within our community, relating
to and pertaining to our people, but especially within our
(01:36:29):
own community to each other. We've been brainwashed in conditioned
to utilize our platforms to tear each other down, not
lift each other up. So it's also been incentivized by
these faceless corporations to her and sling gossip and slander
(01:36:50):
at one another to try to take each other down.
Because if you notice, the people to get the most
views and the most attraction, like their whole platform, their
whole into content is then taking cheap shots. That's somebody
from our community and they go viral, and it's just
like all the speaking points with their content is you know,
(01:37:13):
taking down another person from our community. And so you know,
the general consensus is we need to get to the bag.
You know, you need to throw your brother and sister
under the bus, like you can't, you know, make money
online if you're not being positive. They want you to
(01:37:35):
just believe the only way you can make money online
is being negative.
Speaker 4 (01:37:45):
So basically that's what I'm really kind of focusing on,
is just.
Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
Playing up the positive attribute to someone from our community
that impacts our community in a positive way. When I
first started a spotlight, the Spotlight section of The Narrative Podcast.
I just really reserved this section for famous people, celebrities,
social media influencers, and just basically entertainers like actors, actors, actresses, reporting, artists, comedians,
(01:38:24):
et cetera. But these days I really try to focus
on regular people because don't want to break the negative
stereotype about us. All we know how to do is
entertain and not for nothing. I created the way for
spotlight because before I added a spotlight section to my podcast,
(01:38:47):
The Narrative Podcast, nobody.
Speaker 4 (01:38:52):
Nobody with spotlighting anybody.
Speaker 3 (01:38:56):
Now, everybody that has any type of platform or has
a spotlight section, you know, anybody doing any type of
podcasting or interviewing somebody, It'll be like today on the
spotlight section, we got the we got some and someone
(01:39:17):
what's we're talking about?
Speaker 4 (01:39:19):
Guests. But it doesn't even stop there. It goes to
you know products you know on infomercials.
Speaker 3 (01:39:27):
Today on the Spotlight will be featuring this model in
that model of whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (01:39:36):
Not saying I started, I created the buzz phrase spotlighting,
but I definitely popularized the term. You know, the crazy
thing about the Internet that makes the world small.
Speaker 4 (01:39:53):
If you're constantly.
Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Creating content, somebody's either always watching you are always listening
to you, in my case, would be listening to me
because I'm my all audio podcasting platform. So the types
of people that always consistently listen to me on a
(01:40:18):
consistent basis just happen.
Speaker 5 (01:40:21):
To be.
Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
Quote unquote celebrities within our community. And I know they're
always listening to my content because they're always incompera incorporate,
you know, my content into their content, not just what
I'm saying, but how I'm saying. What I'm saying, all
the nuances of my speech pattern wind up in their content.
(01:40:50):
So while you know, no celebrities are directly promoting me
or stamping me, they're definitely taking notice of my and
what I'm saying and the message that I'm conveying on
this platform. So you know, I'm definitely doing more than
just spinning my wheels.
Speaker 4 (01:41:10):
I'm influencing from my humble, miggle, meager little space. Is
they obviously look forward to every episode. Uh yeah, so
pretty much I created the wave uh for Spotlight.
Speaker 2 (01:41:44):
Without the narrative whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:41:52):
In the real way.
Speaker 3 (01:41:54):
So without any further ado, we're going to dive into
the Spotlight section up the narrative podcast as this section
is designed to promote positive people in our community. Celebrate,
pardon me, positive people in our community, to impact our
(01:42:15):
community in a positive way, you know, just impacting us,
impacting change and force some change and leaving a good impression,
honest and making us look good visually as a whole
and represent us well. Also in the spotlight section, I
(01:42:43):
tend to alternate genders, like one week, gotta do a
female in one we gotta do a male. I just
don't do a male and a female in one segment
because I try to stay true to my you know,
time limit I said for myself. But I'm my all
audio podcast platform, so sometimes it's impossible to keep it
(01:43:06):
right at an hour exactly. But when I go over,
you can hardly, you know, take notice by listening because
my transitions are so you know, straight and.
Speaker 4 (01:43:22):
Forward and to the point.
Speaker 3 (01:43:25):
You know, I just transition so smoothly you'll hardly be
able to notice I'm speaking over an hour. But like
I said, if I did two genders and one section,
it will definitely take me way over my mark. So
last week I spotlighted a female. This week I spotlighted
(01:43:45):
and male. This week The spotlight goes to a young
brother by the name of.
Speaker 4 (01:43:58):
Michael C. Platt.
Speaker 3 (01:44:01):
Michael was born in Bowie, Maryland in two thousand and six.
Speaker 4 (01:44:12):
Michael is a baker.
Speaker 3 (01:44:16):
Business owner, social media entrepreneur, food justice advocate, author, social
media influence and motivational speaker and many many more things.
Speaker 6 (01:44:31):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:44:33):
At a very young age.
Speaker 3 (01:44:36):
Michael has been baking since the age of nine years old.
And I'm giving this brother the spotlight section for a
nonprofit organization that he started to you know, advocate for
food justice.
Speaker 4 (01:44:54):
It's called platte.
Speaker 3 (01:44:57):

access to everyone. This particular nonprofit organization and he started
adjustice food insecurity for amongst children. We also, you know,
(01:45:24):

nine and then before age sixteen, started his own bake shop.
So he's always baking something he got interested in baking
(01:45:45):
like at an early age watching his mother bake. You know,
he's written his own book, Michael's Desserts, And if you
want to know more about what he's got doing on
he has his own webpop page, Michael clat dot com.

a Food Network show called a Season four of Kids
Baking on Food Network. But it's particular organization.
Speaker 4 (01:46:37):
You can go go online and find out more about
that that. Okay, I made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (01:46:46):
He doesn't have one dedicated to just the nonprofit organization,
but it is featured on his own.
Speaker 4 (01:46:56):
Web page, Michael c. Platte hy dot com. Uh, the
initiative for that program, like I said, uh.
Speaker 7 (01:47:13):
H h.
Speaker 5 (01:47:23):
H h h h.
Speaker 3 (01:47:49):
So the initiative for the program things you will see

Uh program is like.

So without any further adod please join me in to

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
Michael c.
Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
Platt more narrative podcast round of a Pause for his
nonprofit organization with the with the acronym of PLATES, which
stands for Power, Love, Learning and Access to everyone. All right,
(01:48:59):
moving back long, We're nearly towards the end, you guys,
Like I said, the broad overview is the longest portion
of the narrative podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:49:09):
This next section is called the Health and Wellness section.
Speaker 3 (01:49:12):
Now, the reason why I feel, you know why I
know we need this section it because unfortunately my target audience,
who my program is dedicated towards, and my niche is
targeted towards accommodating.
Speaker 4 (01:49:32):
We're under attack.
Speaker 3 (01:49:35):
So in this section, the Health and Wellness section, I'll
be speaking about health and wellness to keep us safe
and guard our health and stay in a well state
of mind against all the areas that we're being attacked.
Speaker 4 (01:49:49):
We're being attacked mentally.
Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
Physically, and spiritually, especially those of us living in the
United States of America, putting things in the air in
our food, psychologically attacking us through the media, spiritually attacking us,
financially attacking us.
Speaker 4 (01:50:16):
In this section, I don't give financial tips.
Speaker 3 (01:50:22):
Because I believe health is wealth, but I definitely give
tips on how to guard and keep our guard up
against all the other areas that we're being attacked, which
is mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Speaker 4 (01:50:34):
So for example, like usually physically, I give you.
Speaker 3 (01:50:42):
Examples of some type of food you can eat, the properties,
the health benefits of the food you can eat to
improve your overall health with.
Speaker 4 (01:50:52):
Some type of physical exercise you can perform on the
mental side of it, things mental exercise as you can incorporate.
Speaker 3 (01:51:03):
Into your everyday maintenance routine too. Keep your mind operating
at an air.
Speaker 4 (01:51:10):
Quokes normal level to keep you from growing insane because
there are so many stressors put on this mentally to uh,
you know, mentally over taxes and like I said, being
attacked through you know, mainstream media psychological warfare at its finest.
Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
And I'll probably give you tips, tips such as like meditation,
you know, mindfulness, mindful breathing and things of that nature.
Spiritual you know, spiritual practices you can incorporate to detect
(01:52:09):
and protect yourself against dark entities. And that's just the
tip of the iceberg. And then everyone's in the blue moon.
I might, you know, throw in the esoteric like law
of attraction type stuff, you know, metaphysical type stuff. But yeah,
(01:52:41):
but before I get into the health and wellness section
of the narrative podcast, I just want to just reiterate,
you know, my podcast is for everyone to listen to.
My target audience or my niche is original people aka
black people.
Speaker 4 (01:53:00):
You know, so especially true in this section.
Speaker 3 (01:53:07):
You know, we always got to look for the especially
because when you hear some of my health and wellness tips,
you'd be like, you know, well, everybody can derive that,
you know, tip from incorporating whatever X, Y Z into
their regimen. But you know, I cover the especially my
(01:53:28):
people part. I always go out of my way to
you know, incorporate the especially part. And that's partially because
of religion giving us just this false sense that we
are all just you know, the human race. We're just
(01:53:53):
all human bringers, We're all the human race. We're all
one blood.
Speaker 4 (01:53:57):
And it is, but then it's not true. It is true,
and then it's not you.
Speaker 3 (01:54:01):
At the same time, it's very dangerous to think that,
you know, because we all have unique genetic makeups, we
all move in units in two different vibrations and frequencies.
We all need different vitamins, nutrients, and minerals to sustain
(01:54:26):
ourselves physically, and that varies culturally. So while the same
thing that nourish my body and will heal my body
will harm and hurt Europe by it, that's the same
thing mentally, that's that same thing spiritually. But yet we're
(01:54:47):
all just human beings. The creator creadits and you know,
to be just equal and if that was true, you know,
why do we have all these different denominations of religion
and spirituality and it's practiced differently depending upon the culture.
(01:55:07):
Just for instance, like Christianity. You got all these different
denominations of Christianity, and all of those are practiced and
proceed differently through coaching. So you won't have the same
experience at a Black church as you would a White church.
Speaker 4 (01:55:26):
You won't have the same experience.
Speaker 3 (01:55:29):
Now just talking denomination as a Baptist as opposed to.
Speaker 4 (01:55:37):
A Methodist or a Protestant, or a Lutheran or a
Catholic or whatever. So we're all different. Same thing.
Speaker 3 (01:55:53):
In the Islam you got the different types of Muslims,
you got the Sues, you got the Shias, you got
the Orthodox, you got the n Oi, all different. And
I can go on and on and on to other
(01:56:15):
spiritual practices and organizations and whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:56:20):
You know, we can't all just in unison, you know,
adapt and utilize the same ideologies and philosophies.
Speaker 3 (01:56:38):
It just won't be true for me like it is
for you. But I want that painfully clear.
Speaker 4 (01:56:43):
In this section here, the health and Wellness section of
why I focus on health and wellness for my people.
Speaker 3 (01:56:53):
Because we all have different needs. We need different you
know guys, and you know everything else to sustain ourselves,
modes of thinking and you know, spiritually.
Speaker 4 (01:57:16):
Awakenings or whatever you want to call it. You know,
we're just for different.
Speaker 3 (01:57:22):
Were literally built different, and so I'm accommodating all the
areas that my people are different. And so it's no
disrespect to any other group of people. It's not an
intolerant thing. It's not a hate thing. It's just like
a pro thing. I'm pro my people, That's all that is.
(01:57:50):
But anyway, now that you're good and acquainted with what
the overall consensus is for this section or die into
the health and wealth wellness UH tip of the day,
and the health benefit will be discussing is on the
physical health side. I'll be discussing the health benefits of chickery.
(01:58:17):
Chickery family class chicker us.
Speaker 4 (01:58:23):
They of us.
Speaker 3 (01:58:29):
It's a perennial plant, which means it.
Speaker 4 (01:58:32):
Blooms all season, it comes back, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:58:45):
It's a Habbyast's plants in the dandelion family.
Speaker 4 (01:58:52):
UH.
Speaker 3 (01:58:52):
It is native to Europe western Asia. It's found commonly
in the United States States in the Midwest and places
like Illinois, in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and in the Northeast,
in places like New Jersey and New York, in Pennsylvania,
(01:59:21):
and down south in places like Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (01:59:29):
Okay, so first of all, it's good for your digestive health.
It's rich and prebiotic fiber.
Speaker 3 (01:59:46):
That feeds the gut, healthy bacteria, controls blood sugar by
slowing down glucose absorption. Good for losing weights as a
rich in fiber and the richard fiber makes you feel full,
so therefore you eat less. Good for your liver, stimulates bioproduction.
(02:00:14):
The aide in deliver detoxification also is anti inflammatory, and
doctor Saban from our community. This is especially part. Inflammation
is the root cause of pretty much any and all diseases.
So after any part of the body becomes inflamed and
(02:00:38):
the illness is, you know, a terminal illness is imminent
if not treating. So like the root cause of inflammation
is mucous in the body. So anti inflammatory, anything has
(02:01:00):
anti inflammatory properties will flesh out excess mucus in the
body where there's good nukis and then there's bad mucus,
and this will flesh out anything anti inflammatory will flesh
out the bad musics. Also heart health bowers l els
(02:01:24):
which controlled cholesterol and improves blood and then it's also
good for bone health. So chickery, that is the health
(02:01:48):
and wellness tip of the day. And getting more to
the especially parts being carbon based beings, you know, those
that possess you know, a large concentrations of carbon aka
melanny aka melienated people.
Speaker 4 (02:02:09):
Any and all plant life.
Speaker 3 (02:02:14):
Helps sustain cultivate our melany, because that's kind of the
big plot to get rid of our people. You know why,
you know, the powers that be are so fixated on
getting rid of it. It's so that they can underliveas
and cultivate that melany because there are so many products
(02:02:36):
that's made with it.
Speaker 4 (02:02:42):
But being melanic. To keep your melany intact, to sustain
it and operate on a healthy level, you have to
have plants.
Speaker 3 (02:02:57):
You know that that's the bulk of your diet that
must consistent. So that's why that's the especially part, you know,
for my people, why that's especially important that we receive
you know, any and all plant based plant life into
(02:03:20):
our diets to fortified our melanin. All right, y'all, moving
right along, we are getting to the nitty grig. After
(02:03:47):
this section, I'm headed into the final section of the
their podcast.
Speaker 4 (02:03:53):
This section is called speaking point section.
Speaker 3 (02:03:59):
And just to reiterate, I'm just speaking about, you know,
whatever's going on in the world, whatever thing that's going
on in the news from our perspective, from a black perspective,
as it retained or relates to our people, whether directly
or indirectly. And the purpose of me doing that is
to control the narrative because the media have it is
(02:04:20):
looking and sound and crazy. Sometimes though, however, when I
feel there's nothing going on in the media or nothing worth,
nothing worth discussing, I will then in turn speak about,
you know, a PSA, just the observation something that I've
(02:04:45):
noticed we as a people need to work on as
a people to get better at. And when I say we,
I mean me too, and in many cases me especially.
But today I do have a news article that's most
sturbing day.
Speaker 4 (02:05:01):
It's kind of a mix between a PSA and something.
Speaker 3 (02:05:06):
And breaking news has happened directly in our community and
all parties involved in our community or you know of
our community. So it wasn't somebody like white doing something
to us, just like us doing something to us. A
(02:05:29):
most disturbing article involving a young lady by the name.
Speaker 4 (02:05:34):
Of Lakeishila Taylor.
Speaker 5 (02:05:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:05:39):
This happened from each point mall in Michigan. Happened in
a parking lot of a foot locker. She ended up
having to unalive a couple of individuals if were jumping
(02:06:01):
her brother and would have most likely you know, on
their onslaught. They most likely would have beat her simply
to death had her not been from her intervention and
she intervened with headshots like that's how she got them
up off her brother.
Speaker 4 (02:06:21):
Headshots. They the black black black, black black black. If
that ain't gangster, I don't know what is.
Speaker 3 (02:06:27):
This is a female too, by the way, So before
I go into the specific details surrounding this, the way
I'm going to frame it is through staying shouted to
my platform. Anything that negatively happens within our community is
(02:06:50):
because of systemic oppression and psychological programming.
Speaker 4 (02:06:55):
And that's definitely.
Speaker 3 (02:06:56):
Evident in this case because anytimeba from our true nature,
which is Kings and Queen's goddess God has at the
University of Time, we get locked into that frequency where
we act or behave irrationally act or behave aggressively. It's
(02:07:17):
because we've been programmed in, conditioned to and then they
put systemic barriers in place to assure that we do
that we act in this manner, all right, So it's
(02:07:41):
been covered on a whole lot of media outlets went viral.
Incident took place on May third, twenty twenty five, and
the parking lot of a foot locker of East Point, Michigan.
Kuila got into a verbal and physical confrontation with individuals
(02:08:05):
who knew her and her brother Dwan. According to her
turning Tailor retrieved what was believed to be her brother's gun,
citing she had no personal grievance with the victims, but
was reacting to seeing her brother in danger.
Speaker 4 (02:08:26):
Video evidence reportedly.
Speaker 3 (02:08:28):
Shows Tailor firing at Point Blake range, including one victim
who already was on the ground. Taylor Fersey's serious charges
including sec degree murder, assault with intent to murder, felony
fire arm, tampering with evidence, and caring a concealed weapon.
The bottom set at two point five million dollars cash SERTI.
(02:08:55):
Her brother Dowane was also charged in with primarily the
tampering with evidence. Prosecutors contested her self defense argument, stating
the evidence shows deliberate and public violence. So again, where
does a psychological programming and conditioning come into play here?
(02:09:19):
This comes into exposure into the media. So the aggressors
where the group of young brothers who she had to
defend her younger brother against, so they was into it
with her younger brother. Most likely it happened on social media,
(02:09:40):
most likely connecting the dots and was a back and
forth between her brother and the individuals plural not an
individual wow singular that went to go jump her. Her
being in a nineteen year old female, she doesn't look
like she's under or over one hundred pounds, there's no
(02:10:03):
way she can jump in to save her brother and
save him from being assauted by these individuals plural.
Speaker 4 (02:10:13):
You cannot.
Speaker 3 (02:10:14):
Had not for her been for her an intervention, the
damages that he would have received from this group beat
down would have sure enough resulted into his demise. They
would have stopped him out until he was unalive. You know,
you can literally beat somebody to death. That was their
(02:10:35):
attempt to beat him to death, because when it's three
or more, it's.
Speaker 4 (02:10:40):
Not a fair fight. When three or more people is
jumping on you. That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (02:10:46):
You want to get cracked ribs, you want to get
fractured skull, You're going to get a cave getting chessed.
And they're coming at you, hitting you as hard as
they can hit you, Like four or more people. You're
gonna pack you up. You're gonna break the arms, We're
gonna break the ribs, gonna break your leg, teeth, all that.
(02:11:12):
It's rarely rare somebody survives a beat down with two
or more people, because the after effect is, like, you know,
you get clotting in your brain, you know the trauma
that heavy impact, trauma around your heart, blood clotting internally, blood,
(02:11:38):
you know, bleeding internity building up inside you to where
they cannot stop the bleeding in time.
Speaker 4 (02:11:53):
And so that's the aggressive nature of the beasts.
Speaker 3 (02:11:58):
Our people are not like that now, and they programmed
and not condition our minds to be that way through
the media, through this Western diet, through the food that
answers us and makes us more aggressive. So this could
have easily been avoided if you know that approached them,
(02:12:19):
because usually it's a group of people. Usually it's just
one individual.
Speaker 4 (02:12:25):
That got the issue. Now, if they individually they square up,
they get them. I could, it.
Speaker 3 (02:12:33):
Just wasn't my day. You got you know, can't win
them all. But they want a rat pack. They want
to have four and five people. They want to outnumber
him about five to one to ensure a victory. And
that's his sibling, her sibling female. She knows if she
(02:12:57):
jumps in, she's not going to be help to him.
She can't do nothing with a man. Can no female
be the man. And any females out there to think
they can, like jumping in men's faces and pointing their
finger all in the dude's face, you know you're setting
yourself up for a big disappointment. There are some females
(02:13:20):
highly skilled in the martial art and lift weights and
power lift these days and all that, they still can't
whip no man, telling you you can't whip no man.
And so she, as a female artay, knows that. So
(02:13:46):
she goes to get a gun to even the score
head shots because they had intent to underlive her brother.
She has an intent to preserve her brother's life because
she knows the cycles going to start all over again.
You know, she can't just look a couple of shots
in the ear. She looks a couple of shots in
the ear. Then they're coming back with guns, so she
(02:14:09):
gotta stop it.
Speaker 4 (02:14:10):
There.
Speaker 3 (02:14:11):
That's her mind stet at nineteen years old. That's what
they say in the rap music, over and over and
over again. I gotta get the ops. I gotta get
the ops. That's her brother's ops. You see the programming
and conditioning they do to us now on the systemic part,
(02:14:33):
through the system, how the situation was created to them,
you know, even embracing the nature, that gang mentality nature
because this only when it's four to one. That only
(02:14:55):
makes sense in the mind of a gang member. You know,
a gang bang, that only makes sense to a game banger.
Five to one, you know, you protecting the turf. That
only makes sense in the mind of the game banger.
To the average, same clear minded individual, five on one
(02:15:16):
is insane. That's ridiculous. Again, that's the mentality of the beasts.
People that do not look like us have that into
their mentality to conquer, you know, to be aggressive in combat,
(02:15:37):
overly aggressive in combat. They don't want to just win,
they want to ensure the victory. The same people that
enslaved our ancestors the same people that created all these
laws and systems of governments. They're doing that to our
people in that regard, leveling the play you feel in
(02:16:00):
that regard, denying the loans in the bank to start
our own businesses, denying us to start organizations that will
help prevent stuff like this by giving our children after
school activities to do in the community, stuff to do
(02:16:22):
for them, so they don't have any free time to
engage in activities like that. So you see how the
systemic situation played out. You got some brothers dead, and
you got two going to jail, and that's the way
(02:16:44):
they designed the system. Go to jail, and then those died,
you know, to leave them alone, to we put all
this into their community, put the guns in, the drugs
in their community, and leave them to their own vices
and will win win win dead jail. So the opposition,
(02:17:08):
they're dead, and she's going to jail for the rest
of her life. At nineteen, if she gets out of jail,
she's going to be in her forties, maybe fifty. Brother
the same way he's probably if he gets out, he's
probably going to be like in his mid late forties.
(02:17:31):
And her attackers, they're not here anymore, or would be attackers.
She didn't give him the opportunity to attack her. Her
would be attackers because they had their eyes set on
her younger brother. So that's where I'm landing, landing my plane.
(02:18:05):
That's what played the role in this whole thing. The
bigger picture, psychological programming and conditioning and systemic oppression, systemic racism,
all that factored into these this chant of events. No
way hurt and bod should be at No. Four million,
(02:18:28):
No way, no way, she should be first facing murder charges. Now,
I don't know what the tampering with the evidence is.
Is the tampering with the evidence trying to you know,
throw the gun away or did they try to remove
(02:18:50):
the security cam foot each I gotta hear how more
you know the story plays out. I don't know where
the tampering with the evidence charges coming in though, But
that's where I'm made in my plane. I might, you know,
double up on this topic when I get some more
information on it. But yeah, and now we're gonna wrap
(02:19:16):
this episode up of the Nary podcast.
Speaker 4 (02:19:18):
When my final.
Speaker 3 (02:19:22):
Section of the Narrative podcast, this section it's called my
wise word of the Day, My wise word of Today's
Jim and Juel, a pearl of wisdom philosophical nugget designed
to promote critical thinking skills by helping us ponder and
(02:19:44):
contemplate the simple complexities of this thing we call life.
Today's wise word of the day is command. The dictionary
defines command ads chick chick, chick all right, the act
(02:20:21):
of commanding an order given with authority computer a signal
that initiates an operation defined by an instruction command. So
(02:20:47):
it's important that we properly learned how to command and
be put our place ourselves in command positions. As a people,
we need to take command of our neighborhoods by taking
command of our households, commanding and delegating responsibilities within our
(02:21:13):
households and within our communities. We need to command authority
within our school systems. We need to actively get involved
in the public school systems and then ultimately create our
own public schools at all grade levels from kindergarten all
(02:21:33):
the way up into college, and then of course vocational
training skills facilities.
Speaker 4 (02:21:41):
Because if they.
Speaker 3 (02:21:41):
Ain't going treat your right, that darn shure ain't going
to teach you right. And that played out in that
scenario that I just got through talking about and involved
the young lady with the firearm, a felled government, a
failed system. God take command of our finances. A lot
(02:22:06):
of things that happen within our community is because we're
powerless financially.
Speaker 4 (02:22:11):
Learn how to pull our resources and build infrastructures.
Speaker 3 (02:22:13):
A lot of this going on in here, especially in
the United States South America, would not be happening if
we were unified. So when you live in command, you
know how to give commands and command with authority. When
you command with authority, people will be less likely to
(02:22:37):
threaten you, dismiss you, disrespects you, or make a move
to dismantle you. So we have to learn how to command.
Give command over your life, give command over your space,
(02:23:00):
whether your space is private or public. You know, have
to give clear commands to establish boundaries in personal and
professional relationships. So when women, you know, they claim to
get the short end you stick in relationship, they get
(02:23:22):
dogged out in relationship because she's not giving proper commands,
she's not giving clear commands.
Speaker 4 (02:23:29):
She wants this, she's saying this, she's saying she wants.
Speaker 3 (02:23:34):
This, but her body language in her you know, actions
are dictating Otherwise you're saying you want a man to
be this, this and that, but then your eyes is
focused on focused on this, this and that, so you can't.
You know, you can't constantly, you can't conflict, you can't
(02:23:56):
make your commands conflicting.
Speaker 4 (02:23:57):
That's like when law.
Speaker 3 (02:23:58):
Enforcement says, put your hands up and keep your hands
to your side. What you want me to do you
want to be keep your hands up, or you want
me to keep him out the side, make your mind
of it. So you have to be learn how to
command clearly. You have to make your commands very clear
what you're saying. You gotta command with authority. You gotta
(02:24:24):
get yourself maneuvered yourself into a position where you can
command authoritatively. You can't authoritatively command finances if you're living poor,
if you don't have no structure, you know, if you
(02:24:44):
don't have a means to which the barter to bargain with,
why should I listen to you?
Speaker 4 (02:24:53):
Now you're gonna tell me something and your money ain't
right right.
Speaker 3 (02:25:03):
I'm not saying that makes you more intelligent, but like,
if you want me to do something, money talks, bs walks,
So you gotta like take command of your finances.
Speaker 4 (02:25:32):
You gotta also learn how to you know, be realistic when.
Speaker 3 (02:25:37):
Uh the delivering your commands, Like you have that realistic commands.
You know, you can't say I want somebody to build this, this,
and that wanted to build this big, this deep, this long,
(02:26:00):
but then only give them that little bitty tool.
Speaker 4 (02:26:02):
So you gotta be realistic and deliver it with your commands.
When you're in a command.
Speaker 3 (02:26:07):
Position, you have to be stern when you delivered commands.
You can't waiver. You can't like back down after you
said something. You can't immediately back down or change your
(02:26:32):
position after you you know, said something, I want this,
you gotta stand on it to get it. You also
(02:27:02):
have to command authoritatively. You have to know who you
are and be comfortable and secure and who you are
and then everybody around you and men you vicinity, will
respect your commands. That will respect that that barrier that
(02:27:25):
you're putting out, because if you're not, you know, one
hundred sure about yourself, then you know, that's blood in
the water and the sharks are going to circle.
Speaker 4 (02:27:46):
So you have to be confident and secured. So that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:27:54):
The wise word of the day is command. I command
