(02:22):
across the Flovees, udies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Narrative Podcast.
I am your host, halls E. Allen, and welcome all
my narrators. Peace Piece piece, How is everybody doing on
this magnificent Monday. So yes, the final dog days of

(02:46):
summer are finally coming to a close, as now we're
shifting gears, transitioning into.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
The fall, or what we're told is the fall due
to the Gregorian calendar, if you know, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
But anyway, welcome to the Narrative podcast, you know for
those times for me with me and my platform or
just fell asleep on the intro. It's an all black
platform where I speak about all black subject matter and content,

(03:27):
things pertaining to or about our people and our culture.
Pretty much.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
The focal points is to.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Edify and uplift black people in black culture. A really
stressing the point of positive reinforcement of our people as
well as we as a people never receive any you know,
outside of our own you know, outside of our own culture,

(04:02):
we don't receive any positive reinforcement. So this is, you know,
a positive safe space for black people or as I
refer to our people on this platform, original people. And
I get more in depth about the original part. But anyway,
welcome to the platform. I got a good show for

(04:22):
you today, I got a good show for you. You know,
every single day that I do an episode of the
Narrative podcast. But welcome to the platform. How I typically
get things started is, you know, I go into my

(04:44):
format style. My presentation. The way I present the content
centers around delivering positive frames of reference.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
So that's what I'll get into. First. I have two different.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
You know, times that I broadcast the narrative podcast content,
and so I just do a comparison contrast section just
to show you or demonstrate you know, how to to
format styles are different.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
And then.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
After I'm done with my comparison and contrast of the
format styles, then I leap into the.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Promotional portion of the narrative podcast.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
And my promotional portion of the Narrative podcast is essentially
just a crowdfunding.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I'm glad you be aware of.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Projects that generate revenue to keep the platform running. There
is a monthly monetary fee attached with you know, delivering
this content, so there's a service feed in charge. And
these projects helped generate revenue to sustain the podcast and

(06:06):
allow me to opportunity to keep broadcasting. So you know,
please support all the projects that I promote the promotional
portion of the near the podcast. If you want to
continue to listen to all black content, then after I'm

(06:28):
done promoting all my projects, then I dive into the
broad overview of the neror podcast, just telling you everything
you need to know.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
In order to be able to ingest the content better.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
And you know, basically, I'm contextualizing the content to make
it all better overall listening experience for the audience.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
So this just helps you as a listener absorbed the
most you can get out of the platform, and you know,
just really.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Have the content jail better. So it's for your benefit
that I do the broad overview of the Nerk podcast
and then I dive into the content itself. And then
quite frankly, if I don't do the broad overview, gotta
just jipped. The content itself is very brief and to
the point. So that's pretty much my presentation style for

(07:36):
delivering my content.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
In the nutshell. So let's go ahead and let's dive
right on in. So heading on over into the comparison
and contrast section. As I stated, you know, the.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Prime mission of the Narrative podcast deliver positive frames of
reference about our people in our culture.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
As a matter of fact, that's the slogan of the
Narrative podcast.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
The Narrative Podcast, changing the narrative, one episode at a
time by destroying negative stereotypes about our people in our culture.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
How to destroy the negative stereotypes about.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Our people and our culture by delivering positive frames of
reference about our people and our culture.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
And that's exactly what I do here on the Derek Podcast.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
So the main frame of positive the main positive frame
of reference that I focus on delivering during the week days.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is positive news articles.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
So the reason why I focus on delivering positive news
articles is just really because all weekday long, we're constantly
being bombarded with negative news about our people in our culture.
So as an end result of that, you know, we're

(09:10):
constantly being bobarded with negativity concerning our people in our culture,
you know, on the news pretty much.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
If we're if we're keeping it.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
If being honest, all forms of media negatively depict the
images and likenesses of our people in our culture. You know,
we're negatively depicted in books, magazines, television shows, movies, advertisements,

(09:47):
radio shows, like any form of media you can possibly
think of or name, negatively depict our people's likenesses. So
as an end results of that, being bombarded with that

(10:08):
onslaught of negativity, you know, NonStop, twenty four hours a day.
What that does is that it gets ingrained into our
psyches and you know, a subconscious level. As a people,
we end up, uh, you know, acting out the negativity
that has been instilled within us. So it's absolutely a

(10:31):
form of psychological programming and conditioning, the psychological warfare at its.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Best, you know, to try to destroy us by destroying
us on.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
The inside, by programming us to destroy ourselves, you know,
and then on the reverse, you know, it also teaches
people outside of our culture to disrespect us and to.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Not have any regard or empathy for us as a
people because.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
All they have to judge just by is all the
frames of reference that they that the media provides to
them about our people in our culture. People are most
people outside of our culture, they don't know any of us.
They don't, they've never you know.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
The only.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Scope that they can gage us by is what they
you know, see on the news, what they see in
you know, pop culture movies, television shows, what they hear
in the music. Again, the people to control the media
controls you know the world, you know, how the.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Global perception of our people. So this is you know,
for example, their.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Stronghold that they have over the media is the leading
cause of you know, how you know, law enforcement interprets
our people, and you know why so many of us
get brutalized or unlived by law enforcement because law enforcement,
you know, especially when we're speaking about the law.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Enforcement in the United States of America, the majority.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Of the law enforcement officers are white who you know,
did not grow up, you know, with our people.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Most of them did not grow up with our people
in our neighborhoods.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Don't know anything about our people other than you know,
what they see on television, what they hear in the music,
and that's you know, causes them to be afraid.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Of us and apprehensive towards us.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
So they're already you know, whenever they're called, you know,
into our neighborhoods to deal with us, they're already ready
to you know, terminate us with extreme prejudice. So that's

(13:16):
the effect, the long term effect of you know, spewing
negativity about our people and our culture on other groups
of people. So you know, that's why I focus on
delivering positive news articles during the weekday too, you know,

(13:38):
slightly undo this psychological programming and conditioning. And then also
to demonstrate the positive things do happen within our community.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Now, I think I also skipped over the parts.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
So on my delivery delivery style, the way I deliver
my content, it centers around the main positive frame of
reference and then split up into sections, and these section
has speaking points. So after I'm done delivering my positive
frame of reference, which is positive news articles during the

(14:17):
weekday or weekday episodes of the Narrative podcast, then I
shift into my next section, which is called my speaking
point section. And my speaking point section basically is just
like current relevant topics. Whatever is happening in the world
in the news, whether it's you know, nationally, whether it's globally,

(14:44):
whether it's just something directly dealing with issues within our community.
You know, I speak about it. I'm a podcaster pretty much,
That's what all podcasters do. They talk about relevant it
news and breaking news. So you know, that's what I

(15:05):
do here on this platform. And the speaking point section.
The difference between me and most other podcasts is like,
you know, I speak about it from our perspective. Whatever's
going on in the world from our perspective, you know,
whether directly relates to us and what they could potentially
mean for us, I just break it down from our perspective.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
And the reason why I do that is.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Basically, I'm controlling the nritive is when ever our people,
you know, it's on the news for anything, it's something negative.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
So the media has a weird way of making this
look and sound crazy.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
So by me speaking being the mouthpiece for our people
on the speaking point section of the near podcast, you know,
I'm just like helping it, you know, bring it into
perspective by you know, commentating all whatever's happening in the world.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
From our perspective that makes any sense.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
So that's the breakdown of my weekday format style of
the Narrak podcast.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
And then next is the weekend format style.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Now, the weekend format style has more sections, so I'm
not going to cover every single section of the weekend
format style of the Narrative podcast and just want to
you know, highlight some some sections just to demonstrate, you know,
the difference between the weekdays and the weekends. To you know,

(16:45):
fully grasped the weekend format style of the Narrative podcast,
you would just have to tune in on the weekends.
And yes, I did not broadcast an episode this weekend
like typically try to do it on Saturdays, I just

(17:08):
you know, took a day off and I'll explain why
I did that. But yeah, anyway, so my weekend for
matched out my positive frame of reference that I focused
on during the weekend when delivering you know, my weekend

(17:32):
episode up and there the podcast is business ownership and Entrepreneurialism. Now,
the reason why I focus on business ownership and entrepreneurialism
during the weekends is because we're not exposed to those
positive frames of reference on a regular basis. You know, again,

(17:54):
the people who influence and control the media, you know,
they want to dictate and the sign you know, the
images and likenesses. They want to tell the world how
they should engage and perceive our.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
People, including us.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
They don't want us to have those positive frames of
reference about business ownership and entrepreneurialism. They don't want us
to be inspired to start our own businesses and to
do for selfs. So what they do is they promote negativity,
They promote propaganda.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
They glorify.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Trends within our community that is destroying our community. They
glorify gang culture, they glorify gun culture, They glorify lewdness
and degeneracy, pimp.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Culture, poor culture, thought culture.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
That's what they glorify, NonStop bombardment and barrage of that
type of.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
You know, behavior coming out of our culture.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
They glorify the worst of the worst, and they you know,
they're very rarely, rarely, seldomly show us at our best.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
It's really far and few in between.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
And then when the far few in between programs dedicated
into showing us at our best, you know, it's not
really very lengthy. I think you guys show us like
Good Morning America, where they might have an editorial piece
about somebody doing something positive in our community, and in

(19:49):
sixty minutes I can't even name on you know, one
finger off the shows our programs to highlight us in
a positive way. You know, again, they're trying to control
our images and likenesses. When they do that, they're trying

(20:11):
to you know, destroy our self to esteem and then
also getting us to program us to normalize things this
should not be normalized, especially for you know, Black Americans,

(20:35):
those of us living in the United States. They don't
want us to be reminded of a time when owning
your own business, owning your own land, owning your own
property was a common occurrence was a common rampant theme
within our community. It was just as common as you know,

(21:02):
a trip to the grocery store, seeing us in a
positive light, seeing us on our own land, since own
our own properties, seeing us own our own businesses. That
was very common in the United States, that we had
our own townships, we had our own everything.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
And that's why primarily, you know, the that's the way.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
The media is set up, the way it is that
it's set up now, is to discourage us from ever
thinking or having that knowledge that we once there was
a time period when we did for self and wasn't
dependent upon you know, so many government resources, you know

(21:50):
that don't want us to ever ever conceived that we
can do for self. So that's why I focus on
delivering the positive news articles. That's one reason or I
focus on delivering positive news articles during the weekends. I
also focus heavily on that to promote black owned businesses.

(22:13):
By promoting the black owned businesses, we'll have that you know,
we'll be able to you know, create our own economic
infrastructure by supporting businesses that do exist. And by supporting
the businesses that do exist, you know, they'll expand and
brand new businesses will exist and ultimately, you know, property

(22:38):
and land will be bought, and before you know it,
you know, we'll be giving back to our old ways
and doing for self. Now. Crime was always rampant in
our neighborhoods as well as every other community. Crime is rampant,
But when we owned our own businesses, we owned our
own houses, it was more controlled, you know, it was

(23:00):
able to control the unsavory elements within our community.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
We dealt with our own problems. We didn't need me
to call the police. We would go right to the
source and tell them to knock it off.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
But essentially, that's pretty much why deliver the positive frame
of reference about business ownership and entrepreneurialism.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
And I call that section my highlight section.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
And what I'm doing in the highlight section is I'm highlighting,
you know, the life of a business owner or an
entrepreneur within our community. I'm giving you all the high
points of their journey that inspired them to become a
business owner, to start their own business. You know, I'm

(23:55):
including any relevant information that helps parked their journey, such
as you know, education, training, early life experiences, influential people
that they met, you know, just whatever inspired them to

(24:20):
start their own business, inspired them to get interested in
the thing, whatever their business is, what inspired them to
you know, produce that particular product, how they got you know,
interested in that field.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
And then I also include specifics about the business, such
as the year the business was established. Specifics about the business.
So say, for instance, the business is an online business,
everything you would need to know about patronizing the online business,

(25:08):
all the ins and outs ah, such as how to
purchase the product, where to purchase the product, what the
product is, what the product is about, you know what
system apart from the competition with their uh you know,

(25:33):
web page looks like, how it's set up, the difference tabs,
contact information, Everything you would need to know about patronizing
an online business. Or say if it's a physical brick
and mortar location, you know the year that the business

(25:54):
that the building opened, ah. You know the maximum occupancy,
directions on how to get there, the address, the state,
city and state it, what to expect when you go
inside the business, Directions.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
On how to get to it, hours of operating, hours
of operation, the daycres. Just any and everything you would need.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
To know about patronizing a business that is a physical
brick and word business. So that's pretty much the highlights
section of the Narrative Podcast Weekend edition.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Some more key essential.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Things that I include about the business owner of the establishment.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I also try to include, you.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Know, where they grew up, where they grew up at,
you know, in their early life, you know where they're from,
where they grew up at, in their early life experience,
just things of that nature, just to give it a
personal touch.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
It's basically like a wiki. Some you would find in
a wiki.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
About their personal lives and their you know, personal things
about the business. So just to get you familiar with
their journey. And that's pretty much the highlight section of
the Narrative Podcast. And then, last but not least, all

(27:42):
the businesses that I highlight in the highlight section, Uh,
you know, I have a criteria for selecting them. Number one,
they must be black owned, they must hire their own
and then it must.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Perform some type of advocacy within the community that they're.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Located in, Like they have to either have their own
nonprofit organization that benefits the community or pay into one
or sponsor something. And then, last but not least, they
must coincide with my running theme in my running theme

(28:22):
is nationally recognized days or months. So whatever business that
I'm highlighting in the highlight section, their product must lined
up with the nationally recognized month or nationally recognized day.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
So say, for instance, if it's national.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
You know, National Shirt Day, the businesses must you know,
specialize in creating shirts. Or if it's a nationally recognized
month or like National Skateboard Day, the business must coincide

(29:07):
with the nationally recognizing the day, so their product must
be you know, specializing in the production or selling of skateboarders.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
You know. That's how the highlight section works. In the
Narrative Podcast.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Weekend edition, another section that I have that is different
from my week day edition of The Narrative Podcast as
a section in which I'm promoting positive reinforcement. That section
is called the spot Like section. And the reason I
feel the need to promote positive reinforcement, it's because our

(29:53):
people don't receive a lot of positive reinforcement. The only
people that positively reinforce anything that we do as a
people is us as a people.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Like we only.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
We're our own cheerleaders, you know, we only cheerlead for ourselves.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Nobody else collapse for us.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Nobody applause our efforts, Nobody champions our cars, Nobody tries
to help us, you know, get our just dues. And
the primary reason why nobody tries to help us get
our just dues and get us in the position so

(30:41):
where we have sustainable wealth is because it's financially conducive.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
For their group to not have us, you know, equal
to them in the in the race.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
I can go super deep into the origins of race
and how it got started and all that, but believe,
just trust me what I tell you. The reason why
there's such a huge wealth gap is financially beneficial.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
For other groups of people, especially the people.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
That started and classify, you know, and normalized race as
an actual thing.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
That we not.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Have access to tangibles that will allow us to you know,
remain financially independent. So that's what I'm promoting in the
spotlight section of the Narrative podcast is I'm just celebrating

(31:55):
and congratulating and influence affluent.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Person in our community for their deeds or actions.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
On how they positively impact our community, you know, how
they inspire and motivate our community to you know, strive
for the best, be the best, either through some form
of advocacy they're involved in, or some type of philanthropy

(32:27):
or some type of activism that propels our community forward,
inspiring and motivating us all through their actions and deeds.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
And so.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
What I'm attempting to do in that section is to normalize,
using your you know, platform, to uplift and edify our
brothers and sisters instead of down destroy and detegrate our
brothers and sisters.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Because we've been programmed in.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Conditioned to believe to in order to get ahead, we
gotta tear each other down, we gotta talk bad about
each other, we gotta detegrate each other. So that's what
the Spotlight section is dedicated towards, is to you know,
promote positive reinforcement and to uplift and edify our people

(33:28):
by celebrating the accomplishments in the.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Achievements of an individual within.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Our community that impacts our community in a positive way.
And so what I'm doing in the Spotlight section that's
also like a brief miniature bio. I'm just giving you
the higher points of their life with you know, put
them on their path to be the voice within our community,

(33:57):
you know, early life experiences and included with you know
what year they were born, their hometown, you know exactly
what time in their life, you know, the calling that
they heard, the call where there was like, Yo, I
need to you know, do something to uplift and edify

(34:20):
my people. I need to start this nonprofit organization. I
need to get out here and do some activism or
advocacy or you know, just do air quotes the work.
So that's what the Spotlight section is about in the
Narrative Podcast weekend edition. And then, last but not least,

(34:44):
I close out on a super positive notes with this
section I call my wise word of the Day, and
my Wise word of the day is just a gem,
a jewel, a philosophical thoughts to help us really just
process and pontificate and decipher the simple complexities of this

(35:14):
thing called life. Is designed to promote critical thinking skills
and just really just help you grasp the bigger picture
on you know, just life in general. But that's pretty

(35:35):
much my weekend format style of the Narrative Podcast. To
hear it in this, to hear it in this entirety,
you would just have to tune in this weekend. I'm
not going to break down each section because another goal
that I strive to maintain on the Narrative Podcast is
to make the experience time efficient. I don't hide all

(35:57):
today to speak, and I know you don't got all
day to listen, so I try to make it really
brief and to the point. You know, the breakdown of
the Narrative podcast is the longest part of the program.
When we get through that, the actual content itself is
very quick and to the point. So now on to

(36:21):
the promotional portion of the Narrative Podcast. I'm gonna start
off by promoting the podcast itself. Obviously, you can support
the Narrative Podcast in many ways.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
You can support.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
The podcast pretty much on all audio podcasts streaming sites.
Just make sure you are looking for my podcast hosted
by me. If you want to engage or listen to
all black content, just make sure the narrative podcast that

(36:59):
you're listening to is hosted by me Hawsey Allen. Because
there are thousands of podcasts out there titled the Narrative Podcast,
but none speaking about the content that I speak about.
You know that title is pretty much fair use It's
nearly impossible to trademark that. That's why there are so many.
So to make sure you're listening to the correct narrative

(37:21):
podcast and that's the one hosted by me Hawsey Allen.
Just make sure wherever you come across the narrative podcast
on the audio podcast streaming site, it's hosted by me
Hawsey Allen if you want to engage in or.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Hear all black content. So after you got that established,
how you support the narrative podcast or listening to it.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
On all audio podcasts streaming sites is to actually listen
to the episode, get through the episode, and then.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Like the episode. You know.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
On all these audio podcast streaming slights, they usually have
a light.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Button and light button. It's the shape of a heart,
So find the heart shaped light.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Button, click on it. And then after you've clicked on
the heart shaped light button, then what I need you
to do after you've done that is to download the
episode of the narrative podcast when you're listening to it

(38:29):
on an all audio podcast streaming site. Once you click
the download button, the episode will begin to download. Of course,
now to find it, look for the download icon. It's
usually in the shape of a cloud. To look for
the cloud shaped icon on your all audio podcast streaming site,

(38:54):
click on that and the episode will begin to download
and after the episode is downloaded fully downloaded, then share
upload that episode of the Narrative Podcast to whatever your
preferred site that you'd like to share, upload content to.

(39:14):
Just share an uploaded share it across all social media platforms.
And that's how you support the Narrative podcast when listening
to it on all audio podcast streaming site.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
The next way to.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Support the Narrative Podcast is probably by far the most
efficient and effective way to support the platform, is to
follow me on X and my ex profile name is
I stay Good at Halsey Allen. So after you find
my ex page X formally Twitter, you know it's now

(39:50):
called X. It used to be called Twitter. But after
you find my ex page, confirm you're on the correct page.
And you need to confirm you're on the correct X
page because out here cloning pages family and my ex
page is not verified. I just I don't know, I

(40:12):
just don't feel I think that's kind of excessive. But
trust and believe I am a real person.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I'm not a bot. Before I start this podcast, I
used to actively, you know, be on X.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
I used to have all kinds of friends who I
would interact with the DM and chit chat and shoot
the stuff with But after I started podcasting, you know,
I just kind of focused on dedicating my EX page
to my podcast. But anyway, after you find my X page,

(40:53):
which is I Stay Good at Halsey Allen confirmed that
is the authentic X page, you should see a book
pins to the top of the page, a little black book,
and the title on that black book says the Black Card.
I used to have a picture of myself, but I
replacement a picture of myself with my book that I wrote.

(41:18):
It's a book of poetry and it's titled the Black Card.
It's pinned to the top of my.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
X page.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
So once you see that, that's your confirmation you're on
the correct X page to support the narrative podcast content.
After you've confirmed that you're on the correct X page, what.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I then need you to do is look for the
latest link of the Narrative podcast. Once you see that link,
click on that link, and by clicking on that link.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
It should cause a link to expand revealing the podcast logo.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
And the podcast logo is in the shape of a heart.
So when you see that.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Heart shaped light button, click on that and after you
click on that like button, it shipped or to find
the like button, you know, after you see the podcast logo.
It's usually located at the top of the podcast logo.
So go to the top of the podcast logo to

(42:22):
locate the light button. It's in the shape of a heart.
It's heart shaped light button, so click on that. Upon
clicking on the light button, it should expand, revealing the
podcast logo again. And then I need you to click
on the like button again, except this time when it
expands a second time, the light button will be located

(42:45):
underneath the podcast logo, so click on that. Then after
you click on that button, then leave me a comment
in the comment box. Just comment on whatever you like
to comment on about the narrative podcast, positive or negative,

(43:07):
whatever your feedback is. Just give me some feedback about
the podcast. You know, comment whatever you like to comment
on about the podcast, positive or negative. If you can't
think of a comment to leave me, just you know,

(43:29):
a thumbs up and moji. Put your name in the
comment box or your profile name that you're on the
internet with.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Something.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Just put anything, Just put something in the comment box.
By doing that, that to help generate clicks. Clicks generate views,
The views generate the revenue. So that's why you need
to do all these steps in this process. You need
to like button, you need to leave the comments, and

(44:00):
then also one of the most important features, you need
to download the episode. So after you left me a
comment in the comment box, find the download button and
the download button is in the shape.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Of a cloud.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
To find a cloud shaped icon, click on that to
download the episode of the Narrative Podcast.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
After the episode it's.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Fully downloaded, then I need you to find a share
button and share and upload that episode to your preferred
site that you like sharing uploading content too. And that's
how he supports the Narrative Podcast and following me from
x formally Twitter. And then the last way you can

(44:46):
support the Narrative Podcast is you can like, comment and
share all the Narrative Podcast episodes that are on YouTube.
And to find those episodes, go to my YouTube page
which is just Halsey Allen.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
And then you need to go into my shared videos
or public videos.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
I believe that's the tab it's called No, it's called
my videos, it's called my videos. Go to my page
Halsey Allen and then find the tab that says my videos.
Then click on that and you should see all the
older episodes of the Narrative Podcast on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
It goes all the way back to episode number one.
Like comment and share.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
All those old episodes of the Narrative podcast to whatever
social media site that you like sharing your uploading content too.
And again for the comments, just leave something in the
comment box, type something, you know, whatever your thoughts are
positive or negative. If you can't think of the thought
to leave me you know, your name, you can literally

(46:10):
type the word something in that account in the you know, analytics,
But just put something in the comic box.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Is what I'm stressing. And that's on YouTube and my
YouTube page again is Halsey Allen.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Now why the episodes are old on YouTube and not
new episodes of the Nearrative podcast, It's because YouTube.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Change your format style, you know, as they do.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
You know, they're changed via terms and conditions on what
type of content is allowed to be shared on their platform.
So rather than accommodating these new changes this platform that
I'm recording that these episodes of the Narrative podcast, you know,

(47:05):
just decided.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
To you know, not have.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
YouTube as a place that you can distribute your content
that you record on this platform. So that's why I
don't have new episodes of the Narrative Podcast on YouTube
because it's no longer compatible.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
With YouTube's.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Community guidelines. So but the silver cloud is they didn't
delete all the older episodes. All the older episodes were
recorded and uploaded to YouTube because of you know, they
were uploaded before they made these changes, so they're still

(47:51):
on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
So support them. Black Comedy Share And then I think
I skipped for this part. You know, YouTube was once.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Synced with this platform, just like excessync access sync to
this platform as well, which means that's why it's the most.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Efficient ways to support the Narrative Podcast.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Every single time I'm done recording episode, that automatically gets
uploaded the X without any effort on my part. So
if you see the Narrative Podcast and any you know,
on any social media platform, any scrollable social media platform,

(48:39):
I'm kind of a scroller for the scroller like.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
Me, you know, like on Facebook or.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Threads or Instagram or wherever you can just kind of
scroll YouTube.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
You can scroll on youtubetube. You know, it's not customarily.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Available there, you know, it just automatically uploads to X
and it used to upload the Twitter any other platform
where you can scroll it's not available on but does
it automatically? These those episodes don't automatically go there. I
have to manually put them there. So if you see

(49:24):
the Narrative podcasts outside of acts or Threads or Instagram,
you know I probably had to manually put it on
that site. But yeah, that's all I wanted to wanted
you to know about, you know, the distribution of the platform.

(49:48):
But just to reiterate, when you go to my YouTube page,
which is Hawsey Allen, like comment and share all those
older episodes of the Narrative Podcast across all social media platforms,
and that's how you support the Narrative Podcast. Were following
me from YouTube? Now, the next project I'd like to

(50:08):
promote in the promotional portion of the Narrative Podcast is
my personal book of poetry and it's titled The Black Card,
the one that's pinned to my ex page.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
It's a thirty page book of poetry.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Highlighting, chronicling, and detailing the black experience in its entirety.
Everything you go through as a people, both positive and negative,
are featured in that book of poetry. And to purchase
that book of poetry, go to a social media platform
site called Poetizer, and to get there, go to poetizer

(50:46):
dot com. And then once you're on Poetizer, go to
their virtual online bookstore and look for my book of
poetry titled The Black Card.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
It's written by.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
Me Hawsey, So The Black Card if you're unfamiliar with Poetizer.
Poetizer is a social media platform for writers, particularly.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Of the poetry genre. Is open to all forms of writing,
but they specifically cater to poets.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
It's a you know, place where they can socially interact,
you know, share their work, make friends, introduce themselves dm
people write on people's walls, have your friend lists, and
then they.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Also have other.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Activities that people to write poetry will find enjoyable. They
have daily writing prompts as well as games and contests.
But their most notable feature that Poetizer has is built
in self publishing software which will allow the participants of
that community to write, market and sell books that they

(52:09):
create on that platform. And that's why they have a
virtual online bookstore, and that's where you will find my
book that I created on that platform titled The Black Card.
So go to poetizer dot com, go the virtual online
bookstore and purchase my book of poetry titled The Black Card,

(52:31):
written by me Hawsey Allen. And now I'll give you
a more comprehensive, in depth description of the book. So
The Black Card is more than just poetry. It's a
poetic manifesto, a lyrical tribute to the regality, resilience, and
richness of the black experience. The bolt versus the cut

(52:52):
deep in imagery that sores. The Black Card reclaims digny,
the man's respect, and honors the legacy of the people
who have turned struggling into strength culture in the power.
More than just poetry, this is a declaration. Black is royal,
Black is unstoppable, Black is everything. Head on over to

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Purchase of the Black Card today or get your Black
Card revoked. And that'll do it for promoting my book
of poetry titled The Black Card.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
Now, my last project that I want to promote here
in the promotional portion of the Narrative Podcast Weekday edition.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Is my personal poetry blog on blogger dot com. It's on.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
The address is ww dot Mister has blogs dot com
and the name of my personal poetry blog. It's called
Pusey's Poetry Winner. I'm Hallsey. I write poetry. I was
writing poetry long before I started this podcast. Pretty much,
I consider myself a poet. Anytime that I'm not broadcasting

(54:22):
the Narrative Podcast, I most likely am engaging in writing
or doing some type of activity that inspires poetry.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
You know, I'm writing it, I'm performing the spoken word
art or you.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Know, going to a poetry function, watching some poetry online,
something poety whatever. I'm not doing episodes of the Narrative Podcast,
I'm doing something poetic. And that's pretty much primarily why
I didn't upload an episode of the Narrative Podcast last weekend,

(55:03):
because I feel like I've been neglecting my craft since
I've been doing this platform. But I feel this is
my calling also, so that's why I'm trying to find
a balance between the two, giving them both the exact
same attention, you know, because I feel like, you know,
this platform is for the people, so you know, I

(55:27):
feel like this is kind of my mission, and that's
why I've been so true to it and dedicated to
it and really not trying to miss episodes where I'm
not broadcasting an episode of the Nerk podcast. But you know,
I pretty much identify as a poet. So go to

(55:48):
my poetry blog on blogger dot com. It's called Hawsey's
Poetry Corner and again the address is ww dots mister
hasses blogs dot com.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
I even have a logan for.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
My poetry blog, Hawse's Poetry Corner, poetry or the passion
Poetry for all occasions. The poems featured on that blog
site is just every day relatable poetry. Poetry, just organic
and relatable. Whatever walk of life that you come from,
you should be able to go and find a poem

(56:23):
that you can relate to, whether it's the first few
lines of it or a poem in its entirety. You
should find a little piece of yourself in my art
or so go check it out Hawes Poetry Corner on
Blogger dot com at ww dot mister halogs dot com.

(56:45):
And the way supports the poems featured on Haws's Poetry
Corner is to like the poems. When you get to
that site, you should see a like button. Like button
is in the shape of a hearts, So pick on
the heart shaped like button.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Then also.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
Before it like right when you get to the site,
after you're done reading the poem, share the link to
Haws's Poetry Corner. Her poems featured on Haws's Poetry Corner
across all social media platforms. So whatever platform that you
like sharing uploading content to share the link to houses
Poetry Corner or a poem featured on Haws's poets Corner

(57:32):
on that social media platform. Then also after you get
to the site, after you click the like button, it
should be easy to find. It's directly underneath the poetry piece.
Also directly underneath the poetry piece is a comic box.
Leave me a comment in the comic box, and that's

(57:54):
how he supports the poem's posting on Haws's Poetry Corner
is the commons on Then when you get to the site,
you know, positive or negative, whatever you think about the
poetry piece, you know, just let me know, give me
any type of feedback you have for me. If you

(58:15):
don't have any feedback, if the words escape, you just
support by putting your name in the comment box. You
can literally type the words something and that helps the platform. Also,

(58:38):
you know, put your put an emoji, put a flag,
just put something in the comment box is my point. Now,
if you want me to respond to your comment when
you leave me a comment in the comment box, and
this is only if you want me to respond to
the comment. If you have a Gmail account signing with

(58:58):
your Gmail account when you leave your comment on my
poetry blog on blogger dot com houses poetry coiner, when
you signed it with your Gmail account, what that does
is that triggers email to my Gmail account letting me

(59:21):
know somebody has commented on one of my poems. And
once I received that alert, and I receive those alerts instantaneously,
I'm always checking my alerts. I will respond to the
comment that you've left.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
On one of my poems on Harsess poetry coinner blog.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
So that's essentially how you support the poems on hauses
poetry corner blog some more you know, higher selling points
of the poetry blog. All those poems are spontaneously written
in the moment. I didn't contemplate or you know, dwell
on what the poem is going to be about. All

(01:00:12):
the poems posted on that site pretty much organically took
on the life of their own.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
I didn't have any.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
Rhyme or reason. It just literally just popped into my head.
I really believe that the universe is using me as
a conduit to you know, help people find closure or
you know, just make them feel like they're not alone
in the universe when somebody gets them. So my proof

(01:00:50):
of that is I wrote the poems, and I can't
really relate to any of the poems that I posted
on that site, you know, so they're not really indicative
of my life per se. I have poems specifically about
the black experience, and poems.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Honoring the memories of people from my family that I've lost.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
I have a poem about I had a poem I
don't know what happened to it, and must have gotten deleted.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
But at one point in time, I had a poem about.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
My father on there, who is you know, incarcerated for life.
It was called cage Bird. I don't know what happened
to it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
But the point I'm making.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
Is that the poems posting on there, you know, even
though they have personal undertones, I can't relate to any
of the poems on there, so they must be for
somebody else, because everybody that has visited my site has

(01:02:10):
you know, thanked me for writing the poem.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Said that's exactly what they was going through.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
And I have a way with words, and I think
that's kind of my gift to the world, you know,
that's my little thing that makes me special. But yeah,
that's pretty much the creative tongue on that poetry blog,
you know, like I said, just organic, relatable poetry that

(01:02:36):
anybody from life can read and enjoy and appreciate.

Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
As a matter of fact, I have a slogan for that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Poetry blog, causes Poetry Corner, Poetry with a passion, poetry
for all occasions. And then when you read the poems
posted on that blog side, you will see just how
they live up to that poet that slogan.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):

in endorsing me and promoting me thus far.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
I will return to favor of course when I hear
but I have not, you know, given you your shine
for promoting my projects. That's because I personally haven't heard it.
You know, I just haven't heard it. If I haven't,
you know, thank you personally, but thank you personally if

(01:06:46):
you have been endorsing and promoting and now on to
the next edition or the next section of The Narrative
Podcast Weekday edition. This is the broad overview of the
Narrative Podcast. And again just to reiterate, this broad overview,

(01:07:10):
you know, helps contextualize the platform by making it more digestible.
I'm explaining all the nuances of the podcast and everything
you should know about a listener when listening to this platform.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
So let's start at the top tip of the name.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
I name my podcast the Narrative Podcast as I don't
like the false narrative surrounding the depiction of our image,
our people's images and likenesses across all media platforms.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
So I designed this platform with that in mind, with
the mission to change.

Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
The overall perception of how our people are interpreted across
all forms of media, and an effort to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Alter or change the narrative of how.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Our people are perceived across all media platforms, hence the
title the Narrative Podcast. The mission statement of the Narrative
Podcast is the most positive reinforcement of our people in
our culture to inform the listening audience of why it's

(01:08:29):
important to be selective and cautious of the content that
they share about our people in our culture across all
media platforms, just the importance of being responsible or share
our people's images and likenesses. And then also to encourage

(01:08:51):
listening audience to share upload positive frames of reference about
our people and our culture across all media platforms. Now,
the very first nuance of the narrative podcast is the
term you need to be acquainted with is the term narrator.
That's who I refer to, who I refer to the

(01:09:15):
people that listen to this podcast. I call my listening
audience my narrators. I was inspired to point this phrase
by the actual textbook definition of the word narrator.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
And so the word narrator.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Really is just derived from the textbook, from the dictionary
definition of the word narrator.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
And the narrator's job is just basically to.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
Tell or narrate the story, break down all the nuances
of the story to the audience, just let the audience
know everything that they need to know to get the
full scope of what's going on in the story. No
matter what format the story is in, whether it's visual

(01:10:05):
like a play or a movie, or audio like a
radio show, the narrators job is just to break down
what's going on in the story, covering all the key
points of the story so that the audience doesn't get
lost and they have full clarity and are properly informed.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
About what they're witnessing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
So to clear up any any and all confusion and
to put everything into perfect context.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
That's the job of a narrator.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
And how I've related that textbook definition to what I'm
doing is this saying that I adopted as my own.
I heard it somewhere. I can't really place my finger
on where I heard it, but it goes a little
something like this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
You know, tell your own story. Your own story will
be told for you.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
And that's percisely with the me is doing as it
pertains to our people and our culture. They're telling or
narrating our own story. And the story telling about our
people is the story of laziness, violence, degeneracy, all the
typical black tropes you can think about. That's how our

(01:11:19):
people are presented through the lens of the media. So
that's why it's important for us as a people to
tell or narrate our own stories, because we can't control
the types of frames of reference that the media is
putting out about our people and our culture, but we

(01:11:40):
can control what we choose to show the world about.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
Our people in our culture. So that's how I came
up with the.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
Term narrator to describe the people that listen to this platform. Now,
I'm gonna give you an example on how to be
an effective narrator, So I coined it to narrator. I'm
obviously a narrator. I'm narrating with this content that I'm presenting.

(01:12:08):
I'm changing the narrative on my end, one episode at
a time. Now, this platform is an all audio platform,
so I don't have any visual frames of reference, but
I got, you know, auditory frames of reference, positive frames.

Speaker 2 (01:12:28):
Of reference about our people and our culture.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
So I'm delivering positive frames of reference about our people
and our culture. But not just positive frames of reference
about our people in our culture, positive frames of reference
that directly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:45):
Challenge and and contradicts.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
Negative stereotypes instigmas about our people and our culture. So
to be a narrator, while I'm changing the narrative on
my end, one episode at a time, as a narrator,
you can change the narrative on your end, one social
media post at a time by posting positive visual frames

(01:13:21):
of reference that that directly challenge and contradict a negative
stereotype about our people and our coaching.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
For example, there is a negative stereotype about our people,
you know, being lazy. So you can upload.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Positive visual frames of reference that our people are dutiful people.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
You can upload a visual frame of reference about you,
yourself or somebody from our community being actively involved in
an activity, something, something that you know requires a lot
of mistats something it requires a lot of planning and
discipline to accomplish and be good at. You know, a

(01:14:10):
visual frame of reference reflective of you know that we're busy,
and you know we're not lazy, and.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
That we're you know, we're real, We're real busy people.
You know, we don't spend it all of our time
just watching time pass by. Just something that reflects our
people are active. Another negative stereotype about our people and
our culture is that, you know, our youth, our lot

(01:14:46):
pretty much a lost cause. You can reflect upload positive
visual images reflective of our children being actively involved, often academics.
You know, something that would change the landscape of their

(01:15:07):
neighborhood or the entire world.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
You know, invention, you know high marks in school.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
You know, something positive, something visual, visual reflective of our
children's tenacity or their virtue, their intelligence, their exuberance.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
So you know, if you can't think of any of the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Textbook examples that I just named, one of the most poignant,
relevant things you can do to change the narrative about
how our people are perceived or is to upload positive
visual images of you, yourself, or people within our community,

(01:16:00):
or somebody that is of our community, happy and enjoying life.
Because that's you know, pretty much the people their their
prime objective is to break our people, and the people
that run and you know, head the media, their primary
objective is to use the content to you know, damping

(01:16:23):
our spirits, to break us. But if you're uploading imagery
that is reflective of us, you know, happy, enjoying ourselves.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
Having a good time, not bothering anybody.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
That you know, strikes a huge glow, especially if you're
content creator, you know, just living our best lives because
all the obstacles that they set out for us to fail,
you know, they want to see us angry, They want
to see it's depressed, and want to see it's mad.
If we're just enjoying ourselves, living our best life or

(01:16:59):
you yourself, you know, in a very good space that
undoes that part.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
Of their plan.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
You know that those huge munkey wrenching the plan are like, oh, well,
back to the drawen board. You know we overcome. That
just symbolizes us overcoming obstacles, being happy, smiling, you know, enjoying.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
Life for what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
And that's how you can be an effective narrator on
your end as a narrator. And that's why I got
to term narrator to describe the people who listen to
this program. Now, the next new one you need to
be acquainted with when listening to the Narrative podcast is
I refer to our people as original people on here,

(01:17:51):
as opposed to just being black.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
I refer to our people as original people for many
different reasons.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
I just highlight the most important reasons I feel to
me as to why I refer to our people as
original people. You know, the textbook definition of the word
original really kind of highlights thestemers around our people being
original in terms of like leaders and inspiring and being influential,

(01:18:27):
being impactful. We are the most studied group of people
in the entire world. Everybody is impacted and effected, are effected,
impact and affected by our existence. Everybody tries to mirror, copy,
and imitate us on some type of level, even of

(01:18:52):
groups of people that swear they hate us, tries to
you know, embody some part of us and try to
adapt and incorporate some part of our culture into their
culture some type of way. But yeah, that's essentially.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:19):
Why I refer to our people as original people, you know,
from that sense of the word. Another reason why I
referred to our people as original people because of the
word original. Also hence that being the first our people definitely,

(01:19:40):
you know, check that box. We are the first group
of people to ever existed, to ever exist in the world.
Not only do we exist first, we originated everything every
modern day can be possibly think of. Our people originated

(01:20:00):
it for the world. The mother, the father of civilization.
We were the original teachers, We were the original educators.
We were the original scientists, chemists. Every modern day invention

(01:20:20):
you can possibly think of to make life.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
Easier, our people originated it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
Even if history didn't give us the credit directly for
inventing that invention, who went to another you know, group
of people. We definitely got the credit for improving upon
that design. You know, it wouldn't be what it is
today without our improvements to it. We were the original scholars,

(01:20:56):
were the original philanthropists, scientists, chemists, you know, healers, doctors.
We use the original everything. So we were original historically.
So that's a historical, accurate depiction of our people that

(01:21:17):
we were here first and we originated everything. That's why
I refer to our people as original people in the
historical context. But as long as we're talking about history,
every episode, I gotta try to dispel, you know, the

(01:21:37):
false narrative of a really dark time in our history,
or rather the people who recorded history.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
To sign this dark time to our people.

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
They want to skip over all the positive things that
we did for civilization, but they want to dwell on
a dark time of our people, and they went to
dwell on it by you know, presenting a false narrative about.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
This time period. And this is slavery.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
You know, all the positive things we did before slavery,
how we impacted and transcended every norm that you can
possibly think of. They want to assign slavery to our
people as the most definitive part of our existence. They
primarily do that to psychologically break us, to remind us

(01:22:38):
of a time that you know where we were treated inhumanely,
we could not defend ourselves, and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
You know where we were abused, you know, and traumatized.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
And so they want to constantly have a and that
mental enslaved mindset, by having that attached to our people's
images and likenesses.

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Shackle from head to tow.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
Us is seemingly to exhibit low intelligence while during this
time period and more importantly us being fearful of the
people who had us enslaved.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
But you know, there are a lot of false.

Speaker 3 (01:23:37):
Either exaggerator or just completely false things about the time
of slavery as it pertains to our people in our culture.

Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
So you know, elephant in.

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
The room number one, the routes in the time period,
it didn't go on for all the hundreds of.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Years that is told to us, specifically.

Speaker 3 (01:24:09):
Like growing all the way to Africa to retrieve just
African slaves, like all the hundreds of years that it
didn't happen, while slavery itself in and of itself did happen,
our people were enslave. But all the years that they
tell us that they went all the way to Africa
to retrieve slaves, just as in truth, what really happened

(01:24:34):
is they enslaved the indigenous natives of the lands that
they explored, particularly those of us living in the United States.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
The majority of us we were already here.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
We got reclassified and they threw us on the plantations
with some enslaved people who they retrieved from Africa, so
not saying those people are not our brothers and sisters. Still,
even though that they came directly from Africa, we were

(01:25:14):
already here. The majority of us were already here. So
they want to perpetuate this false narrative that the only
way our people exist anywhere in the entire world outside
of Africa is because a slave boat went there and

(01:25:36):
dropped us off along the route that it took to
get to wherever they were going to do business to whatever,
you know, slave manger that they were doing business with.
You know, That's how they want to explain our presence
in Asia and Central America and all the Spanish speaking

(01:25:57):
nations and every island you can possibly think of, any
continent you could possibly name or think of. That that's
how they want to explain how we got them to
the whole world. It is because of slavery, because of

(01:26:18):
them transporting us on a slave boat. And dropping us
off there, and again that's totally foss It was already
originally located.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
In all those places.

Speaker 3 (01:26:38):
They also want to tell us we don't have you know,
any history, any identity, any cultural identity, if we would
already exist and live there, we are the culture people
studied us and try to act like us, being the
original people of that land. The only thing they actually

(01:27:06):
got right about slavery is the way they used to
torture us, the way they used to dehumanize us. That's
the only accurate thing that got about us, got about
slavery correctly. Now, another thing that they lied about slavery
is how slavery ended. They want us to believe and

(01:27:28):
cozy up to the fact that slavery ended because white
people have the goodness of their heart when it's ended,
because it wasn't right, they didn't agree with it, and
they wanted to, you know, atone for that sin. And
when the reality was it was just really all about money.

(01:27:53):
It was about money when it started, it was about
money when it ended. And then another factor why it
ended it is because we rebelled against you know, rebelled
against it the whole time it was happening to us,
and so you know, we were retaliating against people that

(01:28:16):
were in slaves, that were torturing us, that were brutalized us,
but they couldn't contain us. You know, it had built
up to that point that we had almost you know,
dwindled their numbers. So those are just some, you know,

(01:28:40):
a few key points that I want to point out
about the false narrative of slavery.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
I didn't want to just do a deep dive into it.
I just wanted to scratch the surface.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
About the false narratives around the slavery because that's what
I do on this platform. I destroyed false narratives about
our people and our culture. But on to the last
reason why I refer to our people as original people.

Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
On this platform. I refer to our people on this platform.

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
As original people as an attempt to unify us as
a people, because while we all have our different unique
cultures and customs, we are pretty much all of one blood.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
People outside of our culture that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:30):
Remind us of that fact all the time that they
just say we're black can be done with it, just
as surely as you refer to another group of people
as like, for example, Asian or many types of Asians
or Krean's Japanese, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
Chinese Thailand, but you know, just say Asian and be
done with it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
And you know, people haling all from different parts of
the world to speak Spanish.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
There's these you know, to just say your Spanish should
be dene with it. And that's what they do to
our people too.

Speaker 3 (01:30:09):
But amongst our people, we fight each other, and you know,
we separate and we delineate, and you know, we don't
have each other's back the way all these other groups
of people have their back, regardless of what type of
you know, Asian person, regardless of what type of Spanish

(01:30:30):
person they are, they all have each other's back. When
we don't we allow, you know, the people that are
oppressing us to have say so on how closely we
relate to one another.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
So you know, now there's something happening within our community.

Speaker 3 (01:30:54):
I'm a foundational Black American and you know we're having
the delineation talk. Should we delineate from other groups of
people that go outither way to undermine us, to undercut us,
to tell us we have no culture, that we're not significant,
that our degree of blackness doesn't count for anything, that

(01:31:17):
we haven't accomplished and achieved anything. Should we just delineate
and separate from those blackness? Short answer yes, long answer no.
But here on this platform, I try to bring us
all together under the umbrella of original people.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Because technically, anybody can call themselves.

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
African, American, anybody can call themselves any nationality of black
persons can think about technically and then not belying or
be incorrect. Technically, a white person could call themselves Haitian
or Jamaican or or African or you know whatever, and
not technically be lying or technically be in you know,

(01:32:08):
in their assertion to be off technically. But one thing
they cannot ever refer to themselves as any other group
of people except our people.

Speaker 2 (01:32:22):
Is original people. Only the original people of.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
This world can refer to themselves as original people, the
people that were actually here first. And we're the only
scientifically documented people that ever existed first before any other
group of people. That honor goes to our people and
nobody else. But our people can take credit for that,
you know, you can't, you know, unslice that lemon wedge.

(01:32:54):
We're the only people that get top feeling for being
the first. So that's is a universal term that applies
to all of us. Therefore, we can all say, no
matter where we're located in the world, no matter what
our political affiliation is or you know, spiritual practices or religions,

(01:33:16):
our political views, we're all original.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
We're all here.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
First, we offer this high concentrations of carbon aka Melanie.
We can all trace our lineage back to the original
point of origin for all civilization. Now that original point
of origin, unfortunately, we're just gonna just have to agree
to disagree, as many people believe it was here right

(01:33:42):
in the United States and other people believe it was
in Africa. We're never gonna settle that debate ever in life,
because all the scholars have their receipts. But one thing
for certain, two things for sure, we can all, as
melaniated people, trace our origins back to the original point
of origin, no matter what side of the debate you are.

(01:34:10):
And that's why I refer to our people as original
people to unify us as one people. Last, but not
least or getting down to the knitted, gritty narrative. Podcast
is a positive safe space for original people. I don't
engage in the gossip, slant gossip, slander, name calling, put downs,

(01:34:38):
denigrations of any kind when it comes to our people
and our culture. It's all about uplifting and edifying our
people in our culture with this content. You know, it's
a positive safe space for our people to celebrate our
accomplishments and achievements. It's a space wheat go to, you know,

(01:35:01):
feel good about our people, to interconnect the network with
one another and just normalize being normal, you know, not
glorifying negative stigmas and stereotypes about our people and our culture.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
Is this content is all.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Positive, uplifting, feel good content about our people.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
Make me feel prideful, to make me feel strong and empowered.

Speaker 3 (01:35:32):
So I don't promote gossip, slender or denigration, you know,
I'm just all for promoting positive.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
Reinforcement, hunity, and progression on this platform.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
So you know, Also, all my speaking points center around
the bigger picture. Every any and all subject matter I
discuss on the platform, especially in my speaking point section
of the narrative podcast centers around unpacking whatever's going on

(01:36:08):
in the world from the bigger picture perspective, which means
typically anything.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
Negative happening within our community, you know, only.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
Happens because pretty much of systemic oppression and psychological programming
and conditioning. And that's what how I, you know, frame
up anything I was speaking about, especially when you know,
discussing you know, famous people, you know from our community.
There's unfortunately, anytime somebody from our community is in headline

(01:36:40):
news is for something negative. And so that's how I'm
breaking down that scenario, that particular scenario. But you know,
that's where my speaking points center around is the bigger
picture systemic oppression and psychological programming and conditioning. But there
are exceptions to every it's a while I don't pre se,

(01:37:05):
you know, go out of my way and talk about people,
put people down, laugh at people.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
You know, I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:37:14):
I am very honest and I can't lie. And then
I also, you know, I don't go out of my
way to speak nice about people who betray our community
by promoting negative stigmas and stereotypes. Go out of your
way to embrace these negative stereotypes of stigmas about our people.

(01:37:39):
And I coach you for monetary game, So if you
want to throw us under the bus for a bag,
then you know, if I have to get the in
the position where I'm commentating on something that you did
that make headlines is going.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
Viral, got the whole Internet talking about it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
I'm probably not going to be you know, my assessment
of it is probably not going to be not scathing.
But that's pretty much it as far as you know,
the narrative podcast, the nature of it, Last, but not least,

(01:38:20):
it's a time system of platform. Try not to see
one hour per broadcast, and when I do, you can't.
You can barely tell. It's an all audio podcast platform.
So that's why I designed my content and the way
I designed it, you know, it's very streamlined and to
the point. I try to time each one of my

(01:38:44):
speaking points so I'm not just taking too long to
unpack something. Because like I said.

Speaker 2 (01:38:54):
Earlier, I don't have all day talk and I know
you don't have all day to listen.

Speaker 3 (01:38:59):
So I want to just make the information that I'm
sharing very compact, easy to digest, easy to follow, easy
to keep up with, and I'm keeping you attentive and
interested in what I'm saying, not boring you to sleep.
So I just want to deliver the message and I

(01:39:19):
beat you upside the head with the message. I want
to make this informative, educational, and then also you know,
lighthearted and entertaining as well. So that's pretty much I've
covered everything I feel you need to know about the
Narrative Podcast to you know, enjoy the experience.

Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
So now without further any further, ADO want.

Speaker 3 (01:39:50):
To dive into this weekday edition of The Narrative Podcast
with my very first section of this weekday edition of
the Narra Podcast, the Positive News Articles. The very first
positive news article on this weekday edition of The Narrative Podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:40:09):
The headline reads.

Speaker 3 (01:40:19):
Man becomes first lawyer in his family after his teacher
said he was a special ed stupent.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
And this is the story of a young brother by
the name of Ray Curtis Petty Junior.

Speaker 3 (01:40:34):
Ray Petty Curtis Junior Hells from Albany, Georgia. He graduated
at the top of his class and was named as
classes valedictorian.

Speaker 2 (01:40:46):
He applied.

Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
He applied to several colleges and got rejected from all
of them except from Western Michigan University Thomas M.

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
Lowley Law School.

Speaker 3 (01:41:05):
Once there, he was elected president of the Student Bar
Association Bar Association Partners. He balanced his duties while working
as a paralegal in the US Air Force Reserves. During

(01:41:29):
his final semester, studying law. He lost two siblings due
to sickle cell anemia. He also filled the state bargain

(01:41:50):
several on his first time taking it, and then passed
it on the second time taking it, which led to
him going viral on social media. When he passed the
second time, he did a video call with his mother
and she was absolutely ecstatic and so her reaction to
it caused him to o viral for that is still

(01:42:13):
going viral to this day. So he advocates for law
in our community. He does ted talks and all kinds
of other philanthropy since then, and just a shining example

(01:42:33):
of you know, never let your current situation be your
final destination. You don't have to subscribe to any norms
about your situation. So, you know, he was in special egg.
He was diagnosed with having a learning disability. He said
he wasn't want to make it, but yet he made it.

(01:42:57):
And through his story, you can all tell that a
way and apply it to you know, our lives. We
can all make it no matter what we're going through.
I will say on a sidebar, as it comes to
our intelligence, this is another you know, plot agenda of

(01:43:18):
the people who are impressing our people this is something
apploid that they, you know, due to our people, is
that misdiagnosis intentionally in the public school system. It's a
large percentage of us have learning disabilities and put us
in special passes and try to psychologically drill it into

(01:43:42):
our heads that we cannot achieve that we are not
intelligent as intelligent as other you know people, that we
need to get comfortable with just having bare minimum jobs
and never aspire to be anything break because we don't
have the mental capacity or affordity to do something. Ray,

(01:44:05):
because we have you know, either ADHD some type of
learning disability or his case, Ay.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
You know said he was you know, special needs.

Speaker 3 (01:44:23):
So rob any further adude, please join me into given
our brother Ray and Curtis Penny Junior or one nritive podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:44:33):
Round up applause for five the odds all right.

Speaker 3 (01:44:53):
Next positive news article on this weekday edition of the
Marrork Podcast. As the headline reads, the only six years old,
an autistic boy became the youngest person to ever attend
Oxford University. In this history of a young brother from Memphis,
Tennessee by the name of Josh Beckford. He was diagnosed

(01:45:18):
at birth with autism.

Speaker 2 (01:45:23):
In addition.

Speaker 3 (01:45:28):
To him being diagnosed with autism, or because he was
diagnosed with autism, his parents, you know, they went above
him beyond.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
To make sure.

Speaker 3 (01:45:43):
They were doing their part, their very best part to
you know, homeschooling and help him with his homework and
you know, trying to figure out how his brain worked,
which was perfectly normal. Is like I said, they intentionally
this diagnosed a lot of our children. It's the biggest

(01:46:06):
hustle in public schools. Public schools get but a budget
for special needs, and they try to feel it to uh,
you know, get the money for special needs. The school
gets the needs. The instructors they get paid more than
the average instructors for teaching children with special needs. A

(01:46:32):
movie where that kind of you know, they take to
dive into that. It's a comedy. It's a prequel to
Dumb and Dumber. But this actually happens in the public schools.
There's nothing actually wrong with the majority of the children
that they put in the special needs class. They literally

(01:46:53):
just like on the first day that uh, you know,
put all the children in orientation and like count off
one two three and then next road one two three,
all the ones go to this.

Speaker 2 (01:47:07):
Side of the room. R two's go to that side
of the room.

Speaker 3 (01:47:10):
R three is go in that side the room, put
all the ones in the special needs class. And that's
how they do it typically in public schools. But anyway,

(01:47:34):
getting back to his personal story, his parents stepped in.
They homeschooled them, and through their tutor leg she.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
Was able to graduate high school at only age eleven.

Speaker 3 (01:47:51):
He also went on to become the youngest person to
ever get accepted into Oxford's summer school program. While there,
he would studied physics, biology, and philosophy. He returned to
Memphis at age fourteen with a mission to open a

(01:48:15):
center
