Yeah, so thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I just wanted to bring you on because your story
is powerful and phenomenal, and I really feel like a
lot of people need to know your story and hear
your story. So I would love for you to start
off and just tell people first of all who you
are and what you got going on.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Okay, well, thank you for having me ken to Shine.
My name is Erica rename Erica name and Walker, but
I go to Erica Renee and I'm a tv I survivor,
which is she made a brain entry. So I'm June first,
two thousand and eight. I was shot in my head
by straight bullet, which is two days after my twenty
first birthday. And I had a big party the Friday,
(03:39):
and you know what, we kicked it and we had
a good time and things like that, and then come
that we had to sleep for I had to sleep
for a Saturday night and then Sunday is when it happened.
And before prior to that, I believe I was joy
writing with my cousins, things like that, hanging out just
you know, doing your people stuff and just having fun.
(03:59):
Just I through the city and says or whatever, and so,
but I stopped at the gas station, and I didn't
think anything that I was thirsty. I only think it's
going to drink, and so I didn't even not even
understanding that. Well, my actually I didn't know. I didn't
understand the time that like I didn't know like what's
(04:20):
going on. I didn't knownything was gonna happen. So I'm thinking,
I'm gona get some wing to drink. And so I
went to gas station, got something for my cousin, things
like that, and then I went back outside and I
felt like a real bad vibe, like something was quite
white and I couldn't pull my finger on it. And
then I remember hearing something that was like a crash
or something like that. And then I remember I blacked out,
(04:41):
like everything went black, like if you close your eye,
you're standing up of black. So that just what happened.
Whatever my eyes were, it certain things turned black, and
I'm guessing at that point I had been shot, and
so I was told after that I was rushed to
the hospital on my short caught ambalance, but I rested
the hospital. I flat lines twice always to the hospital
had the stroke seizures, and when I got to the hospital,
(05:04):
I had to have immediate brain surgery because my brain
was like, so, it's so big, and so I had
to get the head in order to get to the
main part of the brain it to get the weather
was gonna help with the wood. They had to get
the swelling down, taking to see what they're working with
or whatever. And so once swing got on, my brain
got drained and they're able to perform surgery. And I
(05:27):
was putting the makely induced calma because my brain can
rest because when you when you go through to make event,
your brain has to rest. And so I'm I'm conscious
at this time, so I don't know what's going on,
and and so I do. I was in to come
for my month and a half and then I had
to trade from my throat and you can see this
gar right here. I had a trade on my throat
a feeding too. Yeah, so it's been pretty pretty really
(05:51):
pretty pretty bad. And but God, God bless me this
to be here and say, yeah, here we are today.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Wow, it's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And I love your story because it's powerful because you know,
being shot in the head like I saw your photos
before you got shot, and I was like wow, And
it's powerful because a lot of people would have gave up.
And just seeing you going through physical therapy, seeing you
going back trying to get that back, you know you
want that back and I love that. What drives you
(06:22):
to that because you know you don't have any kids,
so what drives you to want to get back to
where you were?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
My faith, My faith in God, My faith in God,
That's what drives me. Thank you, sister Leslie. My faith
in God is what pushes me. I mean by Graysome,
I'm still here. He spread me some of my life
and like can't nobody can't. They might do it, and
of course you used the doctors to do what they did,
but God saved my life at the end of the day.
Nobody said I'm gonna say that any die. So but
(06:52):
knowing that and knowing that, and I think after when
I woke up, I'm gonna come at the month and
a half, I didn't know what happened to you. So
I'm just like looking around like, okay, I didn't I
didn't even think, like I'm in hospital, I said the time,
my brain had no thoughts, like even think human people
might say, I think where am I at or whatever.
I didn't think like anything. I was just like laying there,
(07:13):
like looking around like I'm from my house right now,
looking around like okay, I see these things. But if
my braind and registered like I'm in her in the hospital,
you got hurt. For you, it is anything. Because I didn't,
I didn't see anything. I didn't know what happened. So
I see nurses coming here or whatever they're doing my
ivs and stuff like that. And I had like a
finish thing on my head so that my brand can heal,
(07:35):
and so like I was just out of it, and
I had I was on so much medication that I
was in out of consciousness, so I didn't know. I
wasn't in the where what happened. So like I was,
I couldn't talk for four months, to be exactly, and
so I'm like looking around not even know what's going on,
to see how nursey doctors and things like that, and
I'm just like, so when I finally found out after
like I think after three orour months, I found out
(07:58):
happened to me? So I thought when my head and
things like oh Artha asked what happened to you? And
so I just have my cousin things to me in
a particular day and I asked, I said, I couldn't
talk to you at this time. So my family they
they wrote a paper or ABC's on it. And so
again my brain is still not quite understanding, like it's
(08:20):
the worst, the worst. The does have scrambled to me
like it looked like there's all other places. So I
finally spelled, I spelled out like what happened to me?
He didn't want to tell me first it's I'm like, okay,
I'm I'm adding like what happened to me? And so
I spelled what happened to me? He just was like, hmm,
I can't tell you because I can't tell you. And
I'm like, so I come with him, like, oh my goodness.
Like so I said, okay, I'll tell you, and so
(08:43):
he said because get a shot. And I'm like who
was she? Like who would do that? Like I'm not
a bad person. I wouldn't like the truble maker. I
wasn't like I'm hearing she's like this. So I don't
know who when they did hurt me whatever, And so
at that moment of hearing that like before wind back
before that, I alwayd have like obviously have therapist in
(09:04):
my room like that, moved my legs and stuff like that.
I didn't know what they were doing. So I wasn't
I won't corporate. I just I'll be like me. I
was mean, I would not like corporate them because I
didn't know what they were doing. And so but after
he told me that, I feel like, Okay, I know what.
I know why they're doing that. I know they're trying
to get me back to where you know where I
was or whatever, so and back back on my feet
(09:25):
again or whatever. So it make it made sense why
they were why they were touching me, church my legs
and doing all those kind of things. So they played
out it made sense.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So yeah, wow, So it wasn't a calla for four months, right, one.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Month, a month and half as half almost they did
win me off. They had win me off of the
medication and put you in from me.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, that's got right there.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's got the question somebody asked that says, do you
do you know who did it?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Or was it going on?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
On?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
What was going on? What's up? Random shooting?
Speaker 5 (10:03):
It was a random shooting. They were like they were
shooting somebody else. I found out they were shooting somebody else,
but and again shoting a crossfires. So it's like what
they say, they stayed real place, on time type of thing,
you know. But I will say this that it was
a blessing in disguise because my life, even though I'm
not willing to be, my life is so much better
than it was before my accident. So it's like the
(10:25):
girl was before. Can't hold to cancel am now.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Hello miss Leslie, Hello, Hello to you, Hello to you.
So yeah, guys, we got nother comment. She said, that's cool.
That's that's sad right there. I'm sorry that sad. Yeah,
crossfire that is sad because you never know. That happens
a lot, especially like in the Chicago area, like crossfire
(10:50):
shootings and people getting hack Erica.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
You're blessing, You're blessing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm telling you right now, because guys, guy's not done
blessing you, you know, because you're allowed for a reason.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
You know, he's doing work for you.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
He's doing work for you, you know, and telling you
more things are coming enough you're gonna be walking again
on your on your own, you know. I see you
going to physical therapy, So how's that probably, how's that
process coming along?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
So it's going amazing. So the I was, I think
the therapist is like February. I'm not in Thepruary now,
but from February to GM I was in therapy and
I felt like it was like a I call a
miracle living because every day I went there, God amazed
me to some this them idea and I'm like, wow,
like makes me miss a therapist. That makes everybody there
like we like they are you doing that? I'm like,
(11:39):
I'm not doing the guy doing like it was just
like it was just it was such an it was
just it leads me all I think about, like thinking
back adding like all these ideas there and it's just
I see what they were building me up to get
to where I left out there, which I left out
there walking with the Uni walcome king which is a
walking device. Did you used to take steps or whatever?
(12:00):
So it stay like you to hope, tell your balance
of whatever it takes and stuff like that, and so
to see where I was perhaps be in there's where
I left out. Now it's not a guy just just
being like exist that you journey exactly.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
So it's just now it's true. It's true. So it's powerful,
you know, and only that you're just not giving up.
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You you're doing podcast shows, you know, you reaching out
to others who had similar injuries and going through the
same thing and helping them get through their process, you know,
And that's what it takes to be successful and be great.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
A lot of people don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's all about the impact and what you're impacted me
a lot of people who going through the same thing
you're going through and helping them get to that stage
that you're going through.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
So I'm proud of you for doing that or.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Blessed to be a blessing. I believe it less to
be a blessing and I can keep it tomorrow's elf exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So yeah, like I said, so other question I want
to ask you, So the transition I saw you were,
was you a model?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Oh no, I just.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Saw I saw the photo with the little crown and
the dress, and I'm like, that was my photographer.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
He created background I had. I had a back drop.
Uh hold my video. The backround was my parties with
me and my two cousins in the front of the back
with the three of us. That's my back at my party,
my first party. And so then he made he made
it's some amazing cover letter.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'm like, no, no, I thought I was a model
about to say, you know, I can't we all get
back in that journey.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You know, I do fashion myself. So I want you
to be great.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You know you, Jerney be great, deserve, but you gotta
take a chance in life, I say, you know, and
you're taking full advantage of right now by doing great things.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Not even your thirties. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
You know, thirties you are, yeah, thirty five?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh that thirty five, Erica. You look super young even
in your photo. I swear, I swear I thought you
was like twenty eight twenty nine.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Thank you for having to get older.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Please, shocker right there, complete shocker. But yeah, I'm glad. Like, look,
you're doing great things. You get plenty more to come.
So I told people about you. She said babyface, she
got her babyface. She got me off caught on that one.
She caught me off guard. I thought she was like
twenty eight twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Nine, Thank you dad, jeans, walky jeans, walking jeans.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
So anything else you want to tell if you were
like to tell you, it's your story of some more acas.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
It's all about you, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I want people to know how you're doing great things
out here talking more about your show you doing.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So one thing I want to mention is that at
every facility I've been to therapy facility, we have a
facility I never looked at. I never looked at like
this before. But every step that everything I require, Like
because I could on my head up on my steping parties,
I hadn't how to literally put my head up on myself.
And then once I mastered that, then I've got worked
(15:17):
on sema myself. Like if you got to be a
step by yourself, you can sent away yourself. So all
these little steps brought me closer to each tour I'm
at today. And so I have an acadymic since e
s NBC, which means every step brings me closer. And
I'm like, huh, and so that's what I like, stand
ees n b C. So every step frame brings me closer.
And I just say every step that anyone's going through
(15:40):
my situation like me, or it's going through a situation
similar to minds or whatever the case may be. Wherever
you are in your life that that you maybe not
there for what I've done or whatever. Every step is
gonna bring you closer, whatever step you gotta takes to
get there, that one step bring you closer. I don't
for how it looks. I don't her how impossible saying
my sed question looked possible. It was impossible. And get
(16:02):
people that would tell you, like where I came from,
they'd be like I would see doctor, They like, what
does you like? What? So that?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
But God, all things are possible. So I don't think
that I'll should be farther along you were executively you
need to be. So every every stay bring you closer.
And you need every little thing your journeyed to bring
you to where you need to be. And God would
get you where you need to be. So it's sucking
me to learn in every area of your life. Like
for example, for me, I remember I caught a friend
(16:30):
and when I was at this, I think the second
we have sent it. That was at I caught a
friend and this was the best rip center ever from
my state of Missouri. Supposed to get best state or
whatever and best rehab a center, and I think I
can't give me walking and talk and again. And I
was like maybe a couple months after I got hurt,
and so I think we're walking again. Whatever, it's gonna
be back time it used to be. No I was wrong,
(16:52):
and so I was mad. I remember calling him. I
was like I was like invented out or whatever, like
they ain't doing nothing helping whatever. He was like, Erica,
you would shot your head. And I'm just like, but
I knew that, but like hearing that life there was
like something clicking my mind like I would shot in
my head. And so it led me to be like, hey,
I need I need to learn more about my un
(17:13):
I need to learn more about manager. I need to
learn more about the brain needs to learn more. And
so it's it slowed me down because it's like just
just even knowing that just him, I knew that, but
hearing it him saying it was like totally different. It
really hit me different. So the brain, the brain is
very it's a very sistical organ and if his booze
are turning any kind of way, it's gonna take some
(17:33):
time to be wire myself and too, you know, getting
it nerds and all the kind of stuff back together
again I'm changing the history lists or no sun lists.
But it's what it is, what it is, and so
it's it takes time to he started together again. It's
like a puzzle and so it takes time to be
spet together again. And so my body is guys putting
puzzles back together again. So I went in and start
(17:54):
the place and one together place. So it's like positions
are going together. So air listep bringing, so everybodys a
bring and took the poor picture and so yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I'm definitely proud of you. Like I said, it's not
easy transitioning that what if I could do to you,
I want to I want you to be great, like
people need to know because like I wish, like your
story can inspire a lot of people, especially like the
homeless people of homeless culture, like guys like I told
my grandmother to day, I was like, Grandma, she got
shot in the head and she how you working doing
(18:26):
great things doing TV shows, podcasts, and I see you
on podcast got your own podcasts, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
To be ships. Before I got hurt, I was, I was.
I was college girls, school girl, and I've always want
to go get I've always been there girl that just
I'm gonna I'm gonna do what I gotta do to
get what I got to do, be sus senseful. And
so I wasn't even I didn't even know what I think.
I wasn't in God, we ain't into a guy like that,
BA can. But I believe that was gonna be great.
I wasna successful whatever it was gonna doing. So but
(18:58):
like getting together with guys the best thing I ever
think for myself because it just got into busting the
best and the b besting the blessing. So it's like
up a whole new world for me. And so, but
I was very ambitious before I got hurt, and it
just trimpled. Sorry I am now, and it just got
and emphasizes so that so I look at it, so
it run closer to where I need to be. So
again every step ringing closest whatever it is basically mentally, mustly, financially, whatever,
(19:22):
education whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
So you just I get the.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You're right, you're right, your testimony it is.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
And that's there's way more to it than that. I mean,
I just I gave you a brief overview about the book.
If it be my book when I write it, it's
the first draft, but it be.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
My book whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
But yes, it's all right, let me.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Know your book come out. Let me.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
I got a dribber not ready. I just have to
work some things. But it's definitely.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Be accountable.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I kind of challenge, yeah, Erica, Like I said, tell people,
so you could tell the viewers how we met.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
You know, oh my kids, we met on clubhouse and
clubhouses audio app a phone at basically it was. It
was iPhone used the purpose now it's Android and iPhone,
but it was app on clubhouse. You met in a
clubhouse room, and I know you always tease me out
(20:28):
I talk too fasts, and I'm like, well and I'll
tell you half them or whatever. He's like, okay, so
you kinda laid off for me a little bit, but
you said give me a look at some times. But
went on clubhouse in a room.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
So yeah, now here you go exactly because like guys,
like I said, she came in the room talking fast,
and people like I can't say I like your guys,
bearwoded it like she she's doing great things right now,
like you've realized she got she just learned how to
talk all over it again.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Right, It's not easy.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Doing that guys, you know what I'm saying, especially and
you're stages of life.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It's not easy to learning all of that overrea again.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know what I'm saying, learn how to walk all
over again all the other that's that's phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I had I had a stroke. I had a stroke,
and sieges and all kinds. I like the Triple Women.
So there's all kinds of all kinds of stuff. But oh
and you said, he here's my TV on cover. So
my online show is called TV on Covered. I did
two seasons. I read I would have such a three.
I'm praying for next month as long as August. Well,
pray for next month. But I God gave an idea
(21:32):
I called dis far because guy, I think, give me
the idea during the pandemic from twenty twenty two, anyth
the other survivors, Because I mean, I show my story
a couple of times on my own platform, but it's
like a different piece of it every time. So I
was gonna do a YouTube chanting originally and just talk
my different things about my story or whatever, which I
still put on doing. But he got I was like,
(21:53):
you know what, elevate this? So in these other survivors.
And I remember there was this girl, I'm facebookly, Facebook whatever,
and she was like, she asked me, I had made
up post in one of the groups or whatever, and
she was like, can I use that? I said, you can?
You give me credit for you can use it, so
of course you can't, so we just credit before it is.
(22:14):
So said okay, And so that was like okay, and
if you hurt and I said, okay, you know she's survivors.
So and then it terms of your other saviours and
more and more and more and then and survivors all
of the world like Australia, England, Africa, all over, like
you just all the world, like feeling just anywhere, and
(22:35):
it's like different people all the words. I'm like, it's
worth its workers out here. I'm my god, the old world.
So that it was Instagram because I was on Facebook
on and then because Instagram is like so many so
much more, it's like, wow, like we are people.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
So I'm with that you spreading all over the world.
You go over with you're on cloud house and you
pep all over the world like exactly.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
And then then we did that, shall we do the
the the.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Summing with Jennifer the global.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Global healing, global healing and yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, global healing something it's something like that along those lines.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
We did that. So that's this already. That also I
mean after too. So yeah, a lot of a lot
of ways to spread the word. And so this was
all about spreading the words because and I don't I
didn't answer you got videos and some of different things
because I don't want to for myself because I mean,
I premially I would say for a reason, and but
you know, I say the more reasons. So I'm gonna
do what I can help other people with with what
(23:36):
I can. So I trying myself from knowledge a but
but different things that if I didn't even if I
didn't get it packed in that way, I still help
other people who have been packed that way. If that
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
It does it does one more questions, Eric, you my mind,
so you can tell the people how long did it
take you to learn how to talk again? And because
I wanted to know because you're talking great, you're talking phenomenal,
and and and tell them the do what the doctors
told you the odds and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Oh so when the accident happened, I had a five
percent chances to light the first of all. And so
doctor okay, so I started more, so we're gonna call
my story, so it won't looking good, like I said,
you know what yet I said, by some night, because
she ain't gonna make it. Give the night and so
(24:26):
and but my guy, but guy, he ended up he
ended up playing there, he end not playing the store.
And so I made through the night. And then they said, okay,
for my numbers were still looking crazy. My numbers on
the the other machine is called they know their machine
or whatever. It's gonna pluck joying whatever going out with
me up and they hide it and then like okay
then and not they're not. So it's like I think
(24:46):
they keep come up to the hospital. Be again like
shein't gonna make you, ain't gonna make it. Okay, she
find out, she'll find out it kind of go They
constantly go back and forth to the hospital to see
or whatever. And then of course some people stay. So
he would go home or whatever because I can get
rest or whatever, because then all night and so and
then always you got me going away come back up
for her stage just like the feeling touch and go
for a long a few weeks such and go, and
(25:08):
I finally got stable and nothing so but I had
a fiveusing chance to survival. They got to put a
bug and so it was my mom and dad and
retim like to mother and said no, we're not going
the blood. This said my cousin said noh, enough in
the club. But they said no enough in the blood.
So nobody was in freem before the bug. And we
say said okay, we'll see what you do then. And
(25:29):
so they took me off. The took me off the
uh it took me out for the MBC medicine whatever
it keeps in the coma, took me out for that
women after that, and then they said okay, once she
breathed her own, and they got there breathing my own
to eventilators on the concept. So after I was abree
to my own, I studied. I think I went a
couple on into the hospital and then I I was
(25:54):
in stand of the condition. And then they took me
to another facility. It was like an a standing care facility.
And then I was there being complete. They kind like
an protection of my head because if while I was breathing,
and so back to the high school, they have second
brand surgery and because my numbers is like my brand
is like my brain, my rain ways is like like
putting crazy whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
And so.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
After that second surgery, I started started trying about signs
of like okay, you're gonna tell me, Okay, now she
can make round or whatever. And then so my rehab
started to begin or whatever. So's when therapy startedting all
of kind of stuff. And I say you, I was
not conferable because I was not caught for do. I
was not because my red I wasn't used to being
light and I'm not talking at this time, but I'm
not used to being like such skin mood. And you know,
(26:37):
so I wasn't really proper that I didn't know they
was going to me start again.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Was a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But yeah, so wow, yeah, see God telling you power
right there. That's I'm definitely proud of. You came a
long way, you're still going so it's still young too.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
So yeah, yeahs fling store and I have a I'm
actually I had how speaking again at the breaking thy well,
it's for the Breaking Through essocially Missouri. They have a
survivors and character. There was a survivors and Cargivers panel.
I'd be on a panel October. I think it's twentyeth
(27:15):

So things. There's definitely my way of thinking blessing of
the blessing the interviews that the interview sos like you
just got to use my story to just such a
messics And I'm thinking us like him.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
But yeah, you just made a lot of sacrifices.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You started hanging around a lot of people that you
hang around no more like as you saw earlier. You know,
you was willing to make sacrifices and you know, surround
yourself around more positive people who are out there trying
to level up in life. And uh, and that's what
you're doing, your loving up in life on definitely prod
of you, you know. And again just continue doing physical therapy,
continue doing that and pretty soon you never know, Like

I think I got getting back to this full of
us just like that, like I know God to give
the people that read for the reasons, so I know
it's I didn't make a time. So I'm still on
faces of believing I'm not like giving my hand on't
I had to fight my spirits though I don't never yet.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
It's not nothing, just meening you talking and if you
couldn't talk again, look at you.

You're talking and you're talking good. Clear?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
How old was the trade?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
This story?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
This? This, this is the story is well when I
started talking, it was four months and I was in
the hospital. Role I think I just had therapy, I think,
and being my mom where my mom was at the
hospital and she was like, ben't sleep with then I sleep,
And so we were watching it once it's a park
back they used to come on, and I remember hearing
this song before my me Parson, which are at the
(28:59):
cook when I or whatever. I remembering this song and
I became humbing there. I think it was a pleasure
peace song. I did you wrong, you did me wrong?
Da da, And so I started humming it and so
my look at me, she said, you talking. I say,
I'm looking at myself like I'm not like and myself
and she said say hi Mom. I got by something
(29:21):
like hi. My Unca said high MoMA. It was very
like Faine, it's like hi mom. Like it was very
like it was like it was it was high mom,
but it was like her mom. It was like hi
mom like it was something like like that whatever screaming
our calm people of ever, you know that doesn't be
kepting wrong with that baby. So it came like God,
(29:43):
just it's too naturally. He was took a naturally and
so of course I had speech therapy or reading like

lot of people need to know your story and hear
your story. So I would love for you to start
off and just tell people first of all who you
are and what you got going on.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Okay, well, thank you for having me ken to Shine.
My name is Erica rename Erica name and Walker, but
I go to Erica Renee and I'm a tv I survivor,
which is she made a brain entry. So I'm June first,
two thousand and eight. I was shot in my head
by straight bullet, which is two days after my twenty
first birthday. And I had a big party the Friday,
(03:39):
and you know what, we kicked it and we had
a good time and things like that, and then come
that we had to sleep for I had to sleep
for a Saturday night and then Sunday is when it happened.
And before prior to that, I believe I was joy
writing with my cousins, things like that, hanging out just
you know, doing your people stuff and just having fun.
(03:59):
Just I through the city and says or whatever, and so,
but I stopped at the gas station, and I didn't
think anything that I was thirsty. I only think it's
going to drink, and so I didn't even not even
understanding that. Well, my actually I didn't know. I didn't
understand the time that like I didn't know like what's
(04:20):
going on. I didn't knownything was gonna happen. So I'm thinking,
I'm gona get some wing to drink. And so I
went to gas station, got something for my cousin, things
like that, and then I went back outside and I
felt like a real bad vibe, like something was quite
white and I couldn't pull my finger on it. And
then I remember hearing something that was like a crash
or something like that. And then I remember I blacked out,
(04:41):
like everything went black, like if you close your eye,
you're standing up of black. So that just what happened.
Whatever my eyes were, it certain things turned black, and
I'm guessing at that point I had been shot, and
so I was told after that I was rushed to
the hospital on my short caught ambalance, but I rested
the hospital. I flat lines twice always to the hospital
had the stroke seizures, and when I got to the hospital,
(05:04):
I had to have immediate brain surgery because my brain
was like, so, it's so big, and so I had
to get the head in order to get to the
main part of the brain it to get the weather
was gonna help with the wood. They had to get
the swelling down, taking to see what they're working with
or whatever. And so once swing got on, my brain
got drained and they're able to perform surgery. And I
(05:27):
was putting the makely induced calma because my brain can
rest because when you when you go through to make event,
your brain has to rest. And so I'm I'm conscious
at this time, so I don't know what's going on,
and and so I do. I was in to come
for my month and a half and then I had
to trade from my throat and you can see this
gar right here. I had a trade on my throat
a feeding too. Yeah, so it's been pretty pretty really
(05:51):
pretty pretty bad. And but God, God bless me this
to be here and say, yeah, here we are today.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Wow, it's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And I love your story because it's powerful because you know,
being shot in the head like I saw your photos
before you got shot, and I was like wow, And
it's powerful because a lot of people would have gave up.
And just seeing you going through physical therapy, seeing you
going back trying to get that back, you know you
want that back and I love that. What drives you
(06:22):
to that because you know you don't have any kids,
so what drives you to want to get back to
where you were?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
My faith, My faith in God, My faith in God,
That's what drives me. Thank you, sister Leslie. My faith
in God is what pushes me. I mean by Graysome,
I'm still here. He spread me some of my life
and like can't nobody can't. They might do it, and
of course you used the doctors to do what they did,
but God saved my life at the end of the day.
Nobody said I'm gonna say that any die. So but
(06:52):
knowing that and knowing that, and I think after when
I woke up, I'm gonna come at the month and
a half, I didn't know what happened to you. So
I'm just like looking around like, okay, I didn't I
didn't even think, like I'm in hospital, I said the time,
my brain had no thoughts, like even think human people
might say, I think where am I at or whatever.
I didn't think like anything. I was just like laying there,
(07:13):
like looking around like I'm from my house right now,
looking around like okay, I see these things. But if
my braind and registered like I'm in her in the hospital,
you got hurt. For you, it is anything. Because I didn't,
I didn't see anything. I didn't know what happened. So
I see nurses coming here or whatever they're doing my
ivs and stuff like that. And I had like a
finish thing on my head so that my brand can heal,
(07:35):
and so like I was just out of it, and
I had I was on so much medication that I
was in out of consciousness, so I didn't know. I
wasn't in the where what happened. So like I was,
I couldn't talk for four months, to be exactly, and
so I'm like looking around not even know what's going on,
to see how nursey doctors and things like that, and
I'm just like, so when I finally found out after
like I think after three orour months, I found out
(07:58):
happened to me? So I thought when my head and
things like oh Artha asked what happened to you? And
so I just have my cousin things to me in
a particular day and I asked, I said, I couldn't
talk to you at this time. So my family they
they wrote a paper or ABC's on it. And so
again my brain is still not quite understanding, like it's
(08:20):
the worst, the worst. The does have scrambled to me
like it looked like there's all other places. So I
finally spelled, I spelled out like what happened to me?
He didn't want to tell me first it's I'm like, okay,
I'm I'm adding like what happened to me? And so
I spelled what happened to me? He just was like, hmm,
I can't tell you because I can't tell you. And
I'm like, so I come with him, like, oh my goodness.
Like so I said, okay, I'll tell you, and so
(08:43):
he said because get a shot. And I'm like who
was she? Like who would do that? Like I'm not
a bad person. I wouldn't like the truble maker. I
wasn't like I'm hearing she's like this. So I don't
know who when they did hurt me whatever, And so
at that moment of hearing that like before wind back
before that, I alwayd have like obviously have therapist in
(09:04):
my room like that, moved my legs and stuff like that.
I didn't know what they were doing. So I wasn't
I won't corporate. I just I'll be like me. I
was mean, I would not like corporate them because I
didn't know what they were doing. And so but after
he told me that, I feel like, Okay, I know what.
I know why they're doing that. I know they're trying
to get me back to where you know where I
was or whatever, so and back back on my feet
(09:25):
again or whatever. So it make it made sense why
they were why they were touching me, church my legs
and doing all those kind of things. So they played
out it made sense.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So yeah, wow, So it wasn't a calla for four months, right, one.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Month, a month and half as half almost they did
win me off. They had win me off of the
medication and put you in from me.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, that's got right there.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's got the question somebody asked that says, do you
do you know who did it?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Or was it going on?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
On?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
What was going on? What's up? Random shooting?
Speaker 5 (10:03):
It was a random shooting. They were like they were
shooting somebody else. I found out they were shooting somebody else,
but and again shoting a crossfires. So it's like what
they say, they stayed real place, on time type of thing,
you know. But I will say this that it was
a blessing in disguise because my life, even though I'm
not willing to be, my life is so much better
than it was before my accident. So it's like the
(10:25):
girl was before. Can't hold to cancel am now.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Hello miss Leslie, Hello, Hello to you, Hello to you.
So yeah, guys, we got nother comment. She said, that's cool.
That's that's sad right there. I'm sorry that sad. Yeah,
crossfire that is sad because you never know. That happens
a lot, especially like in the Chicago area, like crossfire
(10:50):
shootings and people getting hack Erica.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
You're blessing, You're blessing.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm telling you right now, because guys, guy's not done
blessing you, you know, because you're allowed for a reason.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
You know, he's doing work for you.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
He's doing work for you, you know, and telling you
more things are coming enough you're gonna be walking again
on your on your own, you know. I see you
going to physical therapy, So how's that probably, how's that
process coming along?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
So it's going amazing. So the I was, I think
the therapist is like February. I'm not in Thepruary now,
but from February to GM I was in therapy and
I felt like it was like a I call a
miracle living because every day I went there, God amazed
me to some this them idea and I'm like, wow,
like makes me miss a therapist. That makes everybody there
like we like they are you doing that? I'm like,
(11:39):
I'm not doing the guy doing like it was just
like it was just it was such an it was
just it leads me all I think about, like thinking
back adding like all these ideas there and it's just
I see what they were building me up to get
to where I left out there, which I left out
there walking with the Uni walcome king which is a
walking device. Did you used to take steps or whatever?
(12:00):
So it stay like you to hope, tell your balance
of whatever it takes and stuff like that, and so
to see where I was perhaps be in there's where
I left out. Now it's not a guy just just
being like exist that you journey exactly.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
So it's just now it's true. It's true. So it's powerful,
you know, and only that you're just not giving up.
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You you're doing podcast shows, you know, you reaching out
to others who had similar injuries and going through the
same thing and helping them get through their process, you know,
And that's what it takes to be successful and be great.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
A lot of people don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's all about the impact and what you're impacted me
a lot of people who going through the same thing
you're going through and helping them get to that stage
that you're going through.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
So I'm proud of you for doing that or.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Blessed to be a blessing. I believe it less to
be a blessing and I can keep it tomorrow's elf exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So yeah, like I said, so other question I want
to ask you, So the transition I saw you were,
was you a model?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Oh no, I just.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Saw I saw the photo with the little crown and
the dress, and I'm like, that was my photographer.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
He created background I had. I had a back drop.
Uh hold my video. The backround was my parties with
me and my two cousins in the front of the back
with the three of us. That's my back at my party,
my first party. And so then he made he made
it's some amazing cover letter.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'm like, no, no, I thought I was a model
about to say, you know, I can't we all get
back in that journey.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You know, I do fashion myself. So I want you
to be great.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You know you, Jerney be great, deserve, but you gotta
take a chance in life, I say, you know, and
you're taking full advantage of right now by doing great things.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Not even your thirties. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
You know, thirties you are, yeah, thirty five?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh that thirty five, Erica. You look super young even
in your photo. I swear, I swear I thought you
was like twenty eight twenty nine.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Thank you for having to get older.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Please, shocker right there, complete shocker. But yeah, I'm glad. Like, look,
you're doing great things. You get plenty more to come.
So I told people about you. She said babyface, she
got her babyface. She got me off caught on that one.
She caught me off guard. I thought she was like
twenty eight twenty.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Nine, Thank you dad, jeans, walky jeans, walking jeans.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Let's get it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
So anything else you want to tell if you were
like to tell you, it's your story of some more acas.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
It's all about you, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I want people to know how you're doing great things
out here talking more about your show you doing.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So one thing I want to mention is that at
every facility I've been to therapy facility, we have a
facility I never looked at. I never looked at like
this before. But every step that everything I require, Like
because I could on my head up on my steping parties,
I hadn't how to literally put my head up on myself.
And then once I mastered that, then I've got worked
(15:17):
on sema myself. Like if you got to be a
step by yourself, you can sent away yourself. So all
these little steps brought me closer to each tour I'm
at today. And so I have an acadymic since e
s NBC, which means every step brings me closer. And
I'm like, huh, and so that's what I like, stand
ees n b C. So every step frame brings me closer.
And I just say every step that anyone's going through
(15:40):
my situation like me, or it's going through a situation
similar to minds or whatever the case may be. Wherever
you are in your life that that you maybe not
there for what I've done or whatever. Every step is
gonna bring you closer, whatever step you gotta takes to
get there, that one step bring you closer. I don't
for how it looks. I don't her how impossible saying
my sed question looked possible. It was impossible. And get
(16:02):
people that would tell you, like where I came from,
they'd be like I would see doctor, They like, what
does you like? What? So that?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
But God, all things are possible. So I don't think
that I'll should be farther along you were executively you
need to be. So every every stay bring you closer.
And you need every little thing your journeyed to bring
you to where you need to be. And God would
get you where you need to be. So it's sucking
me to learn in every area of your life. Like
for example, for me, I remember I caught a friend
(16:30):
and when I was at this, I think the second
we have sent it. That was at I caught a
friend and this was the best rip center ever from
my state of Missouri. Supposed to get best state or
whatever and best rehab a center, and I think I
can't give me walking and talk and again. And I
was like maybe a couple months after I got hurt,
and so I think we're walking again. Whatever, it's gonna
be back time it used to be. No I was wrong,
(16:52):
and so I was mad. I remember calling him. I
was like I was like invented out or whatever, like
they ain't doing nothing helping whatever. He was like, Erica,
you would shot your head. And I'm just like, but
I knew that, but like hearing that life there was
like something clicking my mind like I would shot in
my head. And so it led me to be like, hey,
I need I need to learn more about my un
(17:13):
I need to learn more about manager. I need to
learn more about the brain needs to learn more. And
so it's it slowed me down because it's like just
just even knowing that just him, I knew that, but
hearing it him saying it was like totally different. It
really hit me different. So the brain, the brain is
very it's a very sistical organ and if his booze
are turning any kind of way, it's gonna take some
(17:33):
time to be wire myself and too, you know, getting
it nerds and all the kind of stuff back together
again I'm changing the history lists or no sun lists.
But it's what it is, what it is, and so
it's it takes time to he started together again. It's
like a puzzle and so it takes time to be
spet together again. And so my body is guys putting
puzzles back together again. So I went in and start
(17:54):
the place and one together place. So it's like positions
are going together. So air listep bringing, so everybodys a
bring and took the poor picture and so yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I'm definitely proud of you. Like I said, it's not
easy transitioning that what if I could do to you,
I want to I want you to be great, like
people need to know because like I wish, like your
story can inspire a lot of people, especially like the
homeless people of homeless culture, like guys like I told
my grandmother to day, I was like, Grandma, she got
shot in the head and she how you working doing
(18:26):
great things doing TV shows, podcasts, and I see you
on podcast got your own podcasts, you know.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
To be ships. Before I got hurt, I was, I was.
I was college girls, school girl, and I've always want
to go get I've always been there girl that just
I'm gonna I'm gonna do what I gotta do to
get what I got to do, be sus senseful. And
so I wasn't even I didn't even know what I think.
I wasn't in God, we ain't into a guy like that,
BA can. But I believe that was gonna be great.
I wasna successful whatever it was gonna doing. So but
(18:58):
like getting together with guys the best thing I ever
think for myself because it just got into busting the
best and the b besting the blessing. So it's like
up a whole new world for me. And so, but
I was very ambitious before I got hurt, and it
just trimpled. Sorry I am now, and it just got
and emphasizes so that so I look at it, so
it run closer to where I need to be. So
again every step ringing closest whatever it is basically mentally, mustly, financially, whatever,
(19:22):
education whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
So you just I get the.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You're right, you're right, your testimony it is.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
And that's there's way more to it than that. I mean,
I just I gave you a brief overview about the book.
If it be my book when I write it, it's
the first draft, but it be.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
My book whatever.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
But yes, it's all right, let me.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Know your book come out. Let me.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
I got a dribber not ready. I just have to
work some things. But it's definitely.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Be accountable.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I kind of challenge, yeah, Erica, Like I said, tell people,
so you could tell the viewers how we met.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
You know, oh my kids, we met on clubhouse and
clubhouses audio app a phone at basically it was. It
was iPhone used the purpose now it's Android and iPhone,
but it was app on clubhouse. You met in a
clubhouse room, and I know you always tease me out
(20:28):
I talk too fasts, and I'm like, well and I'll
tell you half them or whatever. He's like, okay, so
you kinda laid off for me a little bit, but
you said give me a look at some times. But
went on clubhouse in a room.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
So yeah, now here you go exactly because like guys,
like I said, she came in the room talking fast,
and people like I can't say I like your guys,
bearwoded it like she she's doing great things right now,
like you've realized she got she just learned how to
talk all over it again.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Right, It's not easy.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Doing that guys, you know what I'm saying, especially and
you're stages of life.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It's not easy to learning all of that overrea again.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You know what I'm saying, learn how to walk all
over again all the other that's that's phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I had I had a stroke. I had a stroke,
and sieges and all kinds. I like the Triple Women.
So there's all kinds of all kinds of stuff. But oh
and you said, he here's my TV on cover. So
my online show is called TV on Covered. I did
two seasons. I read I would have such a three.
I'm praying for next month as long as August. Well,
pray for next month. But I God gave an idea
(21:32):
I called dis far because guy, I think, give me
the idea during the pandemic from twenty twenty two, anyth
the other survivors, Because I mean, I show my story
a couple of times on my own platform, but it's
like a different piece of it every time. So I
was gonna do a YouTube chanting originally and just talk
my different things about my story or whatever, which I
still put on doing. But he got I was like,
(21:53):
you know what, elevate this? So in these other survivors.
And I remember there was this girl, I'm facebookly, Facebook whatever,
and she was like, she asked me, I had made
up post in one of the groups or whatever, and
she was like, can I use that? I said, you can?
You give me credit for you can use it, so
of course you can't, so we just credit before it is.
(22:14):
So said okay, And so that was like okay, and
if you hurt and I said, okay, you know she's survivors.
So and then it terms of your other saviours and
more and more and more and then and survivors all
of the world like Australia, England, Africa, all over, like
you just all the world, like feeling just anywhere, and
(22:35):
it's like different people all the words. I'm like, it's
worth its workers out here. I'm my god, the old world.
So that it was Instagram because I was on Facebook
on and then because Instagram is like so many so
much more, it's like, wow, like we are people.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
So I'm with that you spreading all over the world.
You go over with you're on cloud house and you
pep all over the world like exactly.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
And then then we did that, shall we do the
the the.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Summing with Jennifer the global.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Global healing, global healing and yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, global healing something it's something like that along those lines.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
We did that. So that's this already. That also I
mean after too. So yeah, a lot of a lot
of ways to spread the word. And so this was
all about spreading the words because and I don't I
didn't answer you got videos and some of different things
because I don't want to for myself because I mean,
I premially I would say for a reason, and but
you know, I say the more reasons. So I'm gonna
do what I can help other people with with what
(23:36):
I can. So I trying myself from knowledge a but
but different things that if I didn't even if I
didn't get it packed in that way, I still help
other people who have been packed that way. If that
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
It does it does one more questions, Eric, you my mind,
so you can tell the people how long did it
take you to learn how to talk again? And because
I wanted to know because you're talking great, you're talking phenomenal,
and and and tell them the do what the doctors
told you the odds and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Oh so when the accident happened, I had a five
percent chances to light the first of all. And so
doctor okay, so I started more, so we're gonna call
my story, so it won't looking good, like I said,
you know what yet I said, by some night, because
she ain't gonna make it. Give the night and so
(24:26):
and but my guy, but guy, he ended up he
ended up playing there, he end not playing the store.
And so I made through the night. And then they said, okay,
for my numbers were still looking crazy. My numbers on
the the other machine is called they know their machine
or whatever. It's gonna pluck joying whatever going out with
me up and they hide it and then like okay
then and not they're not. So it's like I think
(24:46):
they keep come up to the hospital. Be again like
shein't gonna make you, ain't gonna make it. Okay, she
find out, she'll find out it kind of go They
constantly go back and forth to the hospital to see
or whatever. And then of course some people stay. So
he would go home or whatever because I can get
rest or whatever, because then all night and so and
then always you got me going away come back up
for her stage just like the feeling touch and go
for a long a few weeks such and go, and
(25:08):
I finally got stable and nothing so but I had
a fiveusing chance to survival. They got to put a
bug and so it was my mom and dad and
retim like to mother and said no, we're not going
the blood. This said my cousin said noh, enough in
the club. But they said no enough in the blood.
So nobody was in freem before the bug. And we
say said okay, we'll see what you do then. And
(25:29):
so they took me off. The took me off the
uh it took me out for the MBC medicine whatever
it keeps in the coma, took me out for that
women after that, and then they said okay, once she
breathed her own, and they got there breathing my own
to eventilators on the concept. So after I was abree
to my own, I studied. I think I went a
couple on into the hospital and then I I was
(25:54):
in stand of the condition. And then they took me
to another facility. It was like an a standing care facility.
And then I was there being complete. They kind like
an protection of my head because if while I was breathing,
and so back to the high school, they have second
brand surgery and because my numbers is like my brand
is like my brain, my rain ways is like like
putting crazy whatever.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
And so.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
After that second surgery, I started started trying about signs
of like okay, you're gonna tell me, Okay, now she
can make round or whatever. And then so my rehab
started to begin or whatever. So's when therapy startedting all
of kind of stuff. And I say you, I was
not conferable because I was not caught for do. I
was not because my red I wasn't used to being
light and I'm not talking at this time, but I'm
not used to being like such skin mood. And you know,
(26:37):
so I wasn't really proper that I didn't know they
was going to me start again.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Was a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But yeah, so wow, yeah, see God telling you power
right there. That's I'm definitely proud of. You came a
long way, you're still going so it's still young too.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
So yeah, yeahs fling store and I have a I'm
actually I had how speaking again at the breaking thy well,
it's for the Breaking Through essocially Missouri. They have a
survivors and character. There was a survivors and Cargivers panel.
I'd be on a panel October. I think it's twentyeth
(27:15):
I'm mistaken. I was coming in a panel as well.
So things. There's definitely my way of thinking blessing of
the blessing the interviews that the interview sos like you
just got to use my story to just such a
messics And I'm thinking us like him.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
But yeah, you just made a lot of sacrifices.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You started hanging around a lot of people that you
hang around no more like as you saw earlier. You know,
you was willing to make sacrifices and you know, surround
yourself around more positive people who are out there trying
to level up in life. And uh, and that's what
you're doing, your loving up in life on definitely prod
of you, you know. And again just continue doing physical therapy,
continue doing that and pretty soon you never know, Like
(27:54):
one day, I promise you, one day out the blue,
you're just gonna wake out your bag.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
You're gonna sorry, walk, You're gonna I see that.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I see. I've had dreams, people had dreams about me
all the time to getting back to me. Okay, dream
my lad.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
It's like you walk too.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
I think I got getting back to this full of
us just like that, like I know God to give
the people that read for the reasons, so I know
it's I didn't make a time. So I'm still on
faces of believing I'm not like giving my hand on't
I had to fight my spirits though I don't never yet.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
It's not nothing, just meening you talking and if you
couldn't talk again, look at you.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
You're talking and you're talking good. Clear?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
How old was the trade?
Speaker 4 (28:33):
This story?
Speaker 5 (28:34):
This? This, this is the story is well when I
started talking, it was four months and I was in
the hospital. Role I think I just had therapy, I think,
and being my mom where my mom was at the
hospital and she was like, ben't sleep with then I sleep,
And so we were watching it once it's a park
back they used to come on, and I remember hearing
this song before my me Parson, which are at the
(28:59):
cook when I or whatever. I remembering this song and
I became humbing there. I think it was a pleasure
peace song. I did you wrong, you did me wrong?
Da da, And so I started humming it and so
my look at me, she said, you talking. I say,
I'm looking at myself like I'm not like and myself
and she said say hi Mom. I got by something
(29:21):
like hi. My Unca said high MoMA. It was very
like Faine, it's like hi mom. Like it was very
like it was like it was it was high mom,
but it was like her mom. It was like hi
mom like it was something like like that whatever screaming
our calm people of ever, you know that doesn't be
kepting wrong with that baby. So it came like God,
(29:43):
just it's too naturally. He was took a naturally and
so of course I had speech therapy or reading like
little Malcomus or whatever. It may sound humble things like that,
but it came to man, nephew like it just came
like you know, people said they there, but it came out.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
With you the So from that's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Next up is walking promising my words while you're gonna
