it was just finishing the drives and I think that's

some fried bread, and she got to watch a little
bit of dancing. And then Amy brought the kids and

blessings for three days of family fun that's free, right,
So you can go there. Now, there was a few
things that cost money, right, but you don't have to
get that if you could just watch the entertainment or

(08:06):
take photographs, right, bring a bunch of water and you know,
be on it. So we had a great time. We
got to see a lot of local javiatam In performing
bird songs and also a lot of tribes from around
the area, including Marongo and so Boba and tribes from
Agua Caliente that come also to perform and do the

(08:30):
bird singing.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Definitely. I heard there were some tribes there from Minnesota
and Missouri and stuff like that, you know.

Speaker 14 (08:37):
So they have competitions for all the tribes. So the
local tribes here in southern California and a little bit
into Arizona area do bird singing. So bird singing is
where they use the rattle and they have their traditional
songs saved by mister Robert Levi. The the other groups

(09:00):
that come to dance or the other tribes that come
to dance and drum and sing her are they use
drums but which they never used here. But they have
competitions at the tower where they can win money and
the you know, the number one prize is thirty thousand dollars,
right like drums that, yeah, you can imagine that there

(09:23):
and there's other prizes well that there is incentive to
want to you know, do your best. Yeah, And I
have a great time watching that stuff. And in some
of the little cultural things you learn like if a
feather falls, everything stops and they show respect and they
get the feather and just things like that that you

(09:43):
would never ever think about. You get to you know,
experience and see when when you when you immerse yourself
into another culture, it's important, right Yoanni, totally.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
It is a beautiful experience. I love the outfits. The
outfits are so ornate and and so colorful, and it
takes I imagine hours of hours of hours of designing
and sowing, but they're so beautiful. And and then some
have bells, some have shells, and it's just so.

Speaker 14 (10:10):
They become a musical Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, it's like so it's not only a visual, beautiful
visual experience, but it's also an acoustic experience as well.
So it's it's beautiful.

Speaker 14 (10:20):
And it's it's a glimpse for those of us who
were fully engulfed into Western culture and never had the
opportunity to meet anyone from our past that might have
worshell beads or or used stone implements for a time. Right,
so it even gives I'm sure they're similar beats and

(10:40):
things that they rhythm that bring out in us that
are very primitive that we lost a long time ago
for whatever traumatic reason.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Well, the rhythm that continues forth to this very day
for all of us is the beating of the heart.
Oh so trill, that's the commonality, and that's the rhythm
that continues to this very damn We hope that continues
into the future, far beyond our days.

Speaker 14 (11:01):
You know, did you happen to see the post I
put up about singing? No, I made the stars singing?
You could look at that, okay, And it's just we
don't look at the stars enough. So that's one thing
I want to ask for this show for our history tidbit.
And then we'll mix city in there right with the
salmon oil and brought to you by motivational realizations though.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Energy of positive thought. Oh yeah.

Speaker 14 (11:25):
But so like there's a one one thing where the
Kalahari people could hear the stars sing and when the
anthropologists was there interviewing them, he says, oh, I can't
hear them sing, and.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
They're disconnected from the Earth, sir.

Speaker 14 (11:44):
They they were like terrified for him, you going to heal.
At first they thought he was joking. Then they were terrified, right,
And it shows you how disconnected we are. And I
know why he didn't have it, because he doesn't have
the song. You if you give the stars the song,

(12:05):
they sing it back to you, right, because over time
you watch it a million times, just like you know
the Big Dipper, right, but you know the Big Dipper,
but you don't know what that good? Do you do
you know any more constellations other than.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
That belt of right, right Ryan, Orion's belt of course,
obviously the North Star you.

Speaker 14 (12:24):
Know, maybe a planet, but we might mix up Jupiter
and Venus.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
You know Mars sometimes because you can see Mars sometimes
and they are saying that there's supposed to be I
think coming up where we or it may have just passed.
We're just saying you could visually see Saturn.

Speaker 14 (12:38):
You know, this is the stuff we need to do
a little bit more. No, Now, we do have light pollution,
and you know, but don't blame it all on that.
We can still see primary but you.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Can go to Joshua Tree, which is one of those
I forget the right terminology a dark zone or one
of the I forget the right terminology, but it's basically
a dark zone where they have no light pollution, where
you can actually go up there and see the milky Way,
like really and it's amazing to see this with your
own eyes.

Speaker 14 (13:04):
That was so cool.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
If we could still do that right here, yeah, I.

Speaker 14 (13:07):
Mean we can't desert like in the city like I'm
like to see. But a lot of us don't know
that the little dipper itself is is it attached to
like basically to Polaris and like goes around a circle,
and we always know where the north starts, right, so
they would navigate by that. So we do have constellations

(13:29):
that we have from our past. There's African constellations as well.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
The dogon people, like I was saying at the last
show where they had star maps, that that the Westerners
had no idea how they were able to be so detailed.

Speaker 14 (13:43):
Probably the original right.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Probably yeah, probably predating the Western thought or Aristotle and
stuff as well. Right, But that speaks towards and and
looping it into the tribe Indigenous people that around our world,
there are many cultures that understand the balance of life
and earth, and we're only storage right. It's the Western

(14:07):
ideals and the capitalism framing of exploitation, right to to take,
which take beyond what you need. So I think cultures
that do practice and are aware of the importers of
that balance have another sense that we may not have
because of that balance and that respect for the mother
Earth and the nature.

Speaker 14 (14:25):
You know, I couldn't have said it better. There's there
has to be that balance with earth, like Mother Earth
is a lie.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
The only reason we're here is because, yeah.

Speaker 14 (14:36):
We don't have to take it all. You know, we
don't have to leave a blank spot after we leave, right,
you know, we all came with nothing, We're leaving with nothing.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
That is the truest thing you've ever said.

Speaker 14 (14:47):
Like, and I didn't say that, I know, I know
it right now I'm quoting somebody, but somebody way smarter
than me, probably. But anyways, that that's a little bit
of the history tidbit, And thank you guys for listening
to that, and that it was fun at the pow
wow and we had a great time. I'd like to
mention our sponsors Golden Pizza and Wings on all of
in Golden and Highland and Olive in Watermen and Highland

(15:11):
and Golden and they got a special seven to fifty
five plus tax all day, every day order in or
you have to pick it up right there at the
at the period. Yeah, carry out. But man, it's good pizza.
It's good for a Friday night, right, So get some pizza,
get some wings. They do have a special right now
at the Highland store only for a fifteen to ninety

(15:33):
nine plus tax and you get eight wings, You get
a large pepperoni pizza and a two liter soda of
your choice. So good, not a bad deal. And I
got called in by Ted, like, come on in, we
gonna make a deal. So I don't know if we're
there's going to be competitions between the stores. I think,
you know, that's a good way to try to you know,

(15:54):
get things out there.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
Right, I'll go to the same pocket.

Speaker 14 (15:57):
Because yeah, I'm all about competitions, especially when you're dealing
with like non for profits and things like that, because
it just you know, it just makes it a little
more fun.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Well, you know there's there's a good competition, then we
have back. Oh yeah, you know, exploitive competition. So as
long as it's in good sport and good fun and
put a greater good and I support it. But if
it moves outside of that spectrum into negative and bashing
and degrading one another, for you know, I don't support that.

Speaker 14 (16:29):
We'll give a good a good version. Steven put up
some art in the North End garden of about fortieth Street, right,
So I just you know, jumped on the internet, grabbed it,
ran over there and found it. Took that piece of art,
put it right on my wall, right, so put it

(16:49):
out to the world. Now, hopefully more people will do that,
more fun games, and then you know, art gets out there.
You know how many people have too much art?

Speaker 5 (16:57):
I don't think don't have too much art?

Speaker 14 (17:00):
No, I mean, yeah you can't.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
Yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

have me on here today.

Speaker 14 (20:42):
That is one nice suit and that hap.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
I'll tell you same thing. My first met brother, I
was like, brother, you.

Speaker 15 (20:49):
Sht bro, you got to dress for success.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
Yeah, that's why I'm poor.

Speaker 14 (20:58):
I told him earlier. I had to dest the.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
You know, if you can tell us a little about
your story. You have such a very interesting story of transformation,
redemption and and and and imperilment, self love to an
entrepreneurial land. So if you could tell us a little
about who is Jeffrey Mons.

Speaker 15 (21:23):
Well, yeah, like I said, my name is Jeffrey Mons.
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. I got transferred out here from
uh from being incarcerated. I was incarcerated for a number
of years. And uh and and you know, I can
say that I had a vision that I no longer

(21:44):
wanted to live my life like I used to.

Speaker 14 (21:47):
So I have a quick question before you get too
deep in the story. So you decided to stay in
California when you got out.

Speaker 15 (21:55):
Uh, well, while I was in While I was in Ohio,
I had our opportunity to get transferred out here.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Oh okay, so I'm on.

Speaker 15 (22:04):
The interstate Compact and uh, you know, you I had
to have a residence here, and so my sister lived
out here, and so I used her address and her
residents so I could come out here. And uh, you know,
I had I had a vision that I wanted to

(22:24):
create my own company, and which is ninety nine doors
opportunities everywhere. It's my lOFC. And uh yeah, so, uh,
you know, I came out here in February and uh.
And I hit the ground running. I I you know,
I had a plan to succeed because failure wasn't an option.

Speaker 14 (22:44):
And these are the types of programs that we're talking
about that actually benefit.

Speaker 15 (22:51):
People, right absolutely, Yeah, I'm on hands. It's no, it's no,
it's you know, you know, it's about empowerment, enlightenment and
encouragement for the young adults, the at risk youth, and
the former incarcerated. What what I I had a vision
that you know, if if I don't believe in myself,

(23:11):
then no one else will. But I have to be
accountable and responsible and productive. So I, you know, some
things that I got to change. I had to change
the way I think, and then my my behaviors would
change and and and I I didn't wait for nobody
else to validate all. You know, Okay, well you're doing
this and doing that. You know, I let my actions speak,

(23:32):
you know, louder than my words, so I, you know,
instead of you.

Speaker 14 (23:36):
Know, did you hear that politician?

Speaker 15 (23:41):
Yeah? So I you know, I I I came with
a you know, I developed from syllabus while I was inside.
And uh, one of my programs is dressed for success.
And not only that, but I had a few other
things that I you know, I was dealing with some
mental health issues, addiction, uh, gang violence, prevention, intervention. So

(24:03):
it's a lot of things that I'm incorporating into my
company and uh for just people, for anyone, anybody, I
mean any just anything that you know, cause we all
have dilemmas and we go through so many things. But
you know, I I truly believe that, you know, my
struggles was actually my progress. Mm and so I you know,

(24:25):
I yeah, And if we don't invest in our few,
in our on our youth, then we won't have a future.
And I see, especially since I've been out here, uh
these last months. Uh, I see the devagation that's going
on out there, and I mean it's just it's it's
it's tragic. And if we don't if we don't pay attention,

(24:46):
I mean, I mean seriously, Uh, you know, our future
is is real dim. So I you know, with with
my company, what I wanna do, I I I want
to encourage, and I wanna go in in the tough
areas and the situations and and and uplift them and
and it don't matter, it don't matter where, what, what
walk of life, you come from. Because what I what

(25:09):
I truly, truly, truly believe is that you know, if
if you don't have a plan to succeed, they got
a plan for you to fail.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Yes or more than one.

Speaker 19 (25:19):
Absolutely, absolutely, And that's so important when when you're leaving
the criminal justice system, because if you don't have a plan,
you are guaranteed to get going right back.

Speaker 15 (25:33):
And see absolutely, and and and and and I want
to I just I want to add this. Uh, you know,
but while I was in there, I made I made
sure that that you know, I I reached out to people,
you know, to get support and and information. I wanted
the network with people. And once I got to California,
you know, with to help on my sister and her

(25:54):
and her husband, I met some other people just going
out being involved in the recovery process and going to
the different county job fairs, work making my parole office hotel.

Speaker 17 (26:08):
You know.

Speaker 15 (26:08):
Yeah, Okay, well you said you can do this or this,
Well what's available? And I was asking for information, but
I had to I had to show some initiative because
once they give it to you, I mean, it's if
the information is there, so you have I me, I
had to show some initiative, some dedication, some determination, some
discipline to go out and do these things, you know

(26:29):
what I mean. And that's what I did. I went
out and I signed up for school.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
I got my.

Speaker 15 (26:34):
Registered alcohol and drug technician. I'm a rat tea. I'm
also a part of the Ryan White Advisory Board. I'm
a visor board.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Men.

Speaker 15 (26:44):
Yeah, it's a registered alcohol and drug part of the Yeah,
I'm part. I wish that was rich the candy man
can yeah, but uh yeah, but yeah, so so and
what I did, I went out in our network and
our network, and I just I got up in the morning.

(27:07):
I used the discipline that that.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
I that was.

Speaker 15 (27:10):
That was I'm say it forced why being the cars
ready to get up and do this and this time
you got to go to try to do Okay. I
took all those negative things I turned into a positive.
So I was able to get up in the morning
and get ready to and go out at eight o'clock
and just go with the places and go to job

(27:30):
fairs and sign applications. And see, what I realized is
that you know, even though they you know, you know
you people are gonna tell you, well, you can't do this.
I believe that the more doors that I knocked on,
my opportunity is gonna be there. But I had to
make myself available for them opportunities.

Speaker 14 (27:48):
Go for those.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Absolutely, even if you have to knock on ninety nine doors.

Speaker 15 (27:56):
And that was my motto. I've done this.

Speaker 14 (27:58):
I have knocked done ninety nine doors and gotten a
lot of those. But then you get.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
One or one.

Speaker 15 (28:05):
And and and and and that's where that's where, you know,
Like I want to mention, uh a few names of
some companies that I work with and I'm affiliated with,
like True Revolution and Project Legacy. You know, these have
afforded me the opportunity to you know, live in comfort

(28:27):
and get some care. Also the healthcare system you know,
I'm involved with them, and uh, you know, so let's see,
it's important things that when you when you're incarcerated, you're
gonna need food, shelter, and clothing. I mean that's to
be your basics. So so yeah, for everyone, not just
from being in car, for everyone, and and and and

(28:47):
these facilities are available, but you have to make yourself available.
And you know it's it's kind of hard for some
because you don't want you know, I mean, you don't
want to wait. But you know what, I've waited in
line for all the years to get out.

Speaker 14 (29:03):
M Yeah.

Speaker 15 (29:05):
So actually I used that discipline and that determination and
that dedication to stand in line and the and the
oh man, this phone system. Wow man, I'm on, I'm
hold on your We're gonna put you on the cold
oh man. But you know what I you know, sometimes
you just got to be patient. So I learned to
be tolerant. And there's some acceptance and some you know,

(29:25):
it's uh some spiritual principles. I'm gonna say that, and uh, yeah, absolutely,
and and so I developed some spiritual principles uh through
another program and I and I would like to say,
you know, I'm I'm.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
A recovery at it.

Speaker 15 (29:40):
You know, I'm fifteen years clean and yeah, so I uh,
I have a good support group and and not only that,
but just you know, so my vision, my vision with
ninety nine Doors is to it's it's is to help
and and motivate and you know, just make the use

(30:03):
uh trouble adults formerly incarcerated, not just that, but the homeless,
the mental health. You know, I want to encourage and
motivate them to be the best best they can be.

Speaker 14 (30:15):
And give you need that in recovery motivations otherwise because
the depression is gonna come on with it because you
used all that good, good good in your brain right
for the bad bad, right the good Actually like rebuild
that system so it makes stople me correctly. You're to

(30:38):
so you're you're you're giving a good advice. This is
a good advice for actually for even people.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
Human Yeah, humanity. You know one one thing that I
would like to dive down in the last few minutes
that we have. We have a common friend, Minister Curtis Smith.
Could you talk about the role that brother has played
in your life because he's a very positive man, does
a lot of great work advocating for HIV, showing people

(31:06):
that you can survive HIV, liber quality of life, and
raising awareness about you know, HIV.

Speaker 15 (31:15):
Definitely, definitely Well, you know, I met mister Smith at
a at a seminar out on Riverside and he was,
you know, he was doing the outreach and you know
what attracted me to him was that he was just
as honest and open and and and friendly and I'm like, wow,

(31:35):
was this guy? You know, I'm talking to him and
you know, they passing out asking people if they want
to you know, get tested and this and that. But
he was so cordial and uh so we got to
talking and he explained where he worked and and I
explained with my situation. He said, well, let's work together.
Let me help you help me. And through that those

(31:57):
few days and weeks and weeks turned into months.

Speaker 14 (32:01):
How that any help you help me?

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (32:04):
I love that.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
Yeah, that's what line, help me help you?

Speaker 15 (32:12):
And so yeah, once he once he said that he
was you know, he was a part of True Evolution.
I wanted to be affiliated with to not just him,
but the company, because if he was representing them, then
I wanted to be you know, I wanted to help.
And so eventually, you know, I called him, and he

(32:32):
called me, and I called back and we got together.
So I went out and I came to True Revolution.
I went to his office and we talked, and he
gave me so much information on how I can you know,
be a part of the visory board for the you know,
healthcare system, how to get some housing, how to get
some mental health, uh, get my mental health addressed. Because

(32:54):
I need to say this, you know, being in the
situation that I've put myself to in the past. You know,
we all didn't developed some kind of trauma in our life,
and so I didn't know that I posted man stresses
because of the traumatic experiences I went through.

Speaker 14 (33:12):
I mean honestly that every if.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
You're getting the car, I wouldn't even limit it to that,
because one out of four Americans will go through a
mental health crisis after each year.

Speaker 14 (33:25):
So it's got anxiety.

Speaker 15 (33:28):
Yeah, our system is structured and so and so yeah.
So so once I so once men me and missus Smith. Uh,
he showed me. He showed me a path and uh man,
you know, my life has changed so much by being
involved with him and True Revolution and he's helping with
my company give me some positive advice. Not only him,

(33:52):
but the founder director. Yeah, and this and his mother,
Miss Marguerite. I mean, there's so many people in mister Kirk,
he's the houseman has so many people that I can
I can name. This has been so great and support
of me and uh, you know, my my my reintegration

(34:13):
back into society today. You know, I go out and
I speak, I volunteer and and and I volunteer for
True Revolution and we go out and do HIV testing
and so yeah, but mister Smith is just uh yeah
for my phenomenal support group of mind and I have
nothing but respect for him and the organization the True Revolution.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Definitely, definitely, And and thank you for such a beautiful
sharing of mister Smith's impact in your life. And and
I know he has had the impact on many other
lives and many lives have been blessed across his path.
And he will be our guests, one of our guests
next week who will as we close out the segment,
Brother maund How can people contact you to find out

(34:56):
more about ninety nine Doors okay? Well, or if they
want to hire you up to bring you out as
a speaker like you just returned it from Vegas from
the speaking engagement.

Speaker 15 (35:03):
So well as of right now, I have a I
don't have my up and I'm developing. I'm developing a
website and I and I need some assistance on that. No,
but uh yeah, I can be reached that. I have
a phone number, I have a flyer, I'm on uh

(35:26):
my platform is I'm on YouTube. I also have ninety
nine Doors opportuners everywhere at LLC. That's part of my
description of my company. But I can be rereached at
month's Jeffrey at O five at gmail dot com and
my number is nine zero nine two four forty seven. Yeah,

(35:48):
I I I'd like to speak to UH or for
any company that likes or any youth centers, treatment centers, whatever,
and then yeah we can from there. But my services
are available to anybody and everybody.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
I love that. Brother. Thank you for blessing us with
your presence on the show, but more importantly, thank you
for modeling what it looks like self determination, what resilience.
So it's like, like we were saying off air, Brother
hasn't even been home for a year, but it's created LLC,
got certificates going back to school. And we all know
people in our family and in our community that have

(36:25):
never have never known what incarceration feels like or to
be locked behind bars, right, but yet they don't take
advantage of the freedom that they have, you know, So
I thought Brother was an exact, a shining example of
taking advantage of the gift of freedom.

Speaker 14 (36:41):
Thank you for thank you for leading by example. We
appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Thank you definitely definitely.

Speaker 14 (36:47):
Hello, ladies, how are we doing today?

Speaker 18 (36:49):
Good?

Speaker 14 (36:51):
Now? How did you meet the team from Hardy.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Brown's okay, shout out to Well, that's a long story.
I'll just give a brief, give a brief like executive summary.
Many many moons ago, I helped Cheryl Brown win her seat.
I used to do a lot of political canvassing Assemblyman Brown.
You are correct, brother, thank you. Yeah, I help her

(37:18):
win her seat, you know, and me and a team
of people. But I was one of the canvassers and
have a really good track record of yeah, yeah, yeah,
I have really good track record. Any candidate that I've
worked on their team, they've at least won the seat
or at least made it to the runoffs, you know.
So so I count that as no defeats yet, right,

(37:40):
I had to get the gas. I'm a people person,
I connect, I'm a building money for president. Hey, I'll
step up for we need it now. So but but no,
basically in community doing like journalism taking photos since they
only thought I was a photographer when but you know,

(38:00):
we wear many a pats. But with that being said, miss,
I'm Kristen and Nyla, could you tell about the journalism hub,
the hub that you are created, the idea of that
and cultivating that. Now you guys actually have that ecosystem
of what thirteen or fourteen, fifteen, different local journalisms coming

(38:21):
together and cultivating our next generation of journalists.

Speaker 17 (38:25):
Yeah, so it's not actually just our next generation of journalists,
because there are legacy publications like Black Voice News that
have existed for over fifty years. There are new content
creators that we're working with podcasters, and then with Nyla here,
who is our revenue fellow that's a new term. If

(38:47):
you're not familiar with it, that's because it didn't exist.

Speaker 16 (38:50):
Before I created. It was part of the vision.

Speaker 17 (38:56):
Because, believe it or not, journalism is facing a crisis.
So the traditional forms of media.

Speaker 16 (39:07):
Used to be supported by advertisers first.

Speaker 17 (39:09):
And that is kind of migrated into more of a
philanthropic model read a revenue model, which means we get
our support from the more from the community through donors,
and then we do like branding, content sponsorships, like aligning
with different organizations and supporting their initiatives that that they
want to promote and put out to the community. And

(39:31):
we really focus on civic engagement, data driven journalism.

Speaker 16 (39:36):
But particularly with the Hub.

Speaker 17 (39:38):
The vision behind the Revenue Fellows was to build up
the next level of business development in turns to help
sustain journalism, to help fortify the revenue side of the reporting.
And Nyla joined us here as she said, three months go,

(40:01):
so she's a movie snaps for you and and so
it's been it's been quite a journey. I've enjoyed it
so far, coming up with the idea and then implementing it.

Speaker 16 (40:14):
Nila is an intern with Black.

Speaker 17 (40:16):
Voice News, but we also have three additional fellows that
have been dispersed throughout their newsroom. So I'll let Nyla
kind of talk about her experience a little bit and
then we can talk about some more.

Speaker 18 (40:25):
Well, my experience has been great so far. I've learned
so much about communication, professional communication with people, networking, meeting people.
I got to go to the i e. C. Of
Policy and Philanthropic Summit where I met if Yanni actually,
and that was amazing.

Speaker 16 (40:54):
Yeah, she's coming up in the world.

Speaker 17 (41:00):
The way down, Yes, well sign autographs on the way yeah.

Speaker 18 (41:04):
Yes, that's been amazing as well. It's kind of taught
me that I actually want to get into public speaking
too at some point. So it's just been a really
great learning experience getting to meet people and I can
do it.

Speaker 14 (41:16):
In public speaking. There's plenty of city meetings. I would
love to.

Speaker 18 (41:22):
I would love to.

Speaker 14 (41:23):
So what should you do with Samarino?

Speaker 5 (41:31):
And then Robert is also a commissioner.

Speaker 14 (41:33):
For the Art and Historical brother Pasing Commission. Like my
second time I was with the seventh Ward. Now I
am the mayor, but we do definitely if you want to.
Anybody would like public speaking skills. You get three minutes
sometimes a minute, yeah, to speak on whatever you wish.

(41:55):
I mean, to be honest, I just watched a dude
like drink guzzle a bottle of water with his minutes.
I mean, like you can bring you much through what
you want. And then then he kept he kept silent for.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
A panamimean or something like that. But on that tip
and we'll I have a few questions for you, Nyla.
I saw a video. It was a dude in New Jersey.
I think it was where withf It's three minutes you
just started bob blocking and probably definitely and you know

(42:30):
it's broadcast too, so you definitely got his fifteen minutes.
But Nyla, you expressed some interest in public speaking. I
was wondering, what is your dream? What is your vision?
As you are in this the journalism hub right now.
But what is the the Glover vision for world dominance?

Speaker 18 (42:47):
Well, I would love to be an author. That's been
my dream since I was a little girl. So I
want to really write books. But based on what we're
going through right now, especially black children, I really want
to help with their literacy rates because they're struggling a
lot in school. So that's really important to me, and
I hope at some point I can open up a
nonprofit for that.

Speaker 14 (43:08):
You're you're talking to some authors here. There's the thing
stopping you from being an author.

Speaker 5 (43:15):
Right, Yeah, you just got to do it.

Speaker 14 (43:19):
Yeah, in children's books, I watch people actually sell those things. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 5 (43:31):
And and what would the approach that I usually tell
other people that want to manifest a manuscript or writing
or poetry or whatever, self published whatever works they want
to It's just like, hey, this right, start with one
sentence or one paragraph a day. It's like so often
we think it's such a grandiose task and and we
we make it that in our mind, but it's just

(43:52):
put your skeleton together. What's the theme of the story
or what's the theme that you want the story to
you know, emulate and or zood, I should say, and
then you just put them have the skeleton and you
put the meat on the bones, you know what I mean?
And and just one sentence or one paragraph at a time.
And because so many people don't, the saying is you'll

(44:12):
find some of the greatest ideas and innovations in the grave,
right because people didn't find the strength for courage to
render the time and effort to manifest their dreams. So
don't let that happen to you. And there's no reason
that you can't start today.

Speaker 14 (44:26):
And once you start, you start making money.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
Right, that's the potential.

Speaker 15 (44:31):
Hey, I'm glad you said that, because you know I
got a book. Yeah, I wrote a book there and
I need to edit it and so yeah, it's the
red Man and whoever.

Speaker 14 (44:43):
Let me give you a way to do it. Chat
GPT is an easy way to edit books.

Speaker 6 (44:48):
Now.

Speaker 14 (44:48):
Now, don't let it write your stuff, but he can edit.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
But it can help. And from that aspect, from the
editing tool and make sure the miracle aspects it can be.

Speaker 14 (44:59):
Utilized can also help you publish too.

Speaker 5 (45:01):
It could not. It could tell you the steps to definitely,
definitely well, definitely, thank you, thank you, not.

Speaker 15 (45:09):
You know, I like to encourage you also on that
children's you know that the idea is phenomenal because you
know that's the way that to give you to reach Yeah, absolutely,
you know what I mean. And so I applaud you for.

Speaker 14 (45:25):
Project too.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
Yeah, it would be definitely. Thank you, Thank you, brother money.
Appreciate your insight and your spect and yeah, however we
can help you and show you how to. I'm not
the greatest speller myself, right yeah, oh yeah, oh my gosh,
miss Erica. That's Erica.

Speaker 14 (45:46):
And as soon as like you get some meat on
the bones, right, then we can start. That's what this
network is.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
That's what the community, right, that's definitely. As we circle
around to our ask about twelve or thirteen minutes, I see,
I have a few questions for you. I'm system missus Irvine.
How is your experience working in the world of journalism.
You know, I know that often we don't see many
African or the African diaspora represented well in many and

(46:19):
media outlets via paper, via television media. There seems to
be an under representation. So I just want to say
thank you for being present, But how has that experience
been for you?

Speaker 17 (46:31):
It's been a phenomenal experience for me. I actually have
an entertainment background. I sing my dance Oh.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
I Gotta get you on the Talent show.

Speaker 17 (46:43):
So coming into the world of journalism was a little
different for me, just the nature of it, the focus.
But it's really I mean, especially with like local journalism
and and being in the community.

Speaker 16 (47:01):
I've with my position. I'm basically the liaison between.

Speaker 17 (47:05):
The newsroom and the community, and then also the funders
and the newsroom, so that we can like kind of.

Speaker 14 (47:14):
Come a little bit of the glue a little bit.

Speaker 17 (47:16):
You know, our executive editor, Stephanie Williams, she is she
is amazing.

Speaker 16 (47:21):
And then our publisher, doctor Paul Brownhines, she is.

Speaker 17 (47:24):
Our fearless leader. She's the one, she's the second generation publisher.
She's selfless. She she sees the potential in us, and
she mentors us and raises us up to be our
best selves.

Speaker 16 (47:38):
So I've learned a lot from her, a lot.

Speaker 17 (47:40):
From the the impouring and influx of organizations and foundations
that have recognized that crisis in journalism and decided to
invest in us to bring us up to the mainstream.
Because it's not necessarily that we're not represented. Well, it's
just we're not we have we weren't include in the mainstream.
That's why black media exists. I wrote a whole thing

(48:04):
about this a couple of years ago because you know,
almost and not to get too political, but almost kind
of like how the Black Lives movement are the black matter,
you know, black lives matter, and then people would say
all lives matter, and understanding the background behind that, it
wasn't to say that, only it was to elevate the

(48:27):
need to recognize that black lives matter. Because with the
Constitution and the way that it was written, for a
season of time, we were three fifths of a humans.

Speaker 16 (48:41):
We weren't even considered that. So when it came.

Speaker 17 (48:43):
To I promised this all ties into media, But when
it came to black media, it was the same thing.

Speaker 16 (48:54):
We wanted to be included.

Speaker 17 (48:56):
We felt like there were stories that were important and
necessary that need to be told community. And because maybe
it affected our community more than others. It's not that
it didn't affect other communities, but they but because either
we were bringing it to the table or they didn't
recognize that the information we had was valuable.

Speaker 16 (49:12):
We had to create our own resources in our own
I want.

Speaker 14 (49:14):
To get right there, especially in sam Bernardino, because we
have some very great cultural newspapers. Yes, do the great
work of Gloria Harrison, the Harrisons and stuff. Yeah, also
the Browns, like that's something special that Samina can really say, Hey,
these are our own.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
On grown amen. Amen. And the one thing that that
leads me to think of. And it's so sad when
you think about this, this nation and and why I
don't know why people are the hateful, rail racist people
the way they are, because often you want to be separated, right,
you want people separate. So okay, all right, we're fine,
we'll separate and we'll do our own thing. And then

(49:55):
when people have separated and doing their own thing, it
becomes successful and they come in and this and that,
they come up like black wall streets and countless other
black wall streets across this nation. Right, you want to
be separated. Okay, we're fine, we can we can describe
to that. Now we're thriving and we're productive, and it's
like it's just a I don't know where the hate

(50:18):
comes from. We're all human, we're all going to die,
we all have the same opportunity. I don't know, that's what.

Speaker 14 (50:27):
That's what it is.

Speaker 17 (50:27):
It's the perception, it's the mindset behind it. And the
beautiful thing about journalism that I've learned is that we
have the power to change perception. And we're very very
at Black Voice News especially, we're very.

Speaker 14 (50:41):
Very for good and bad.

Speaker 17 (50:43):
Yes, oh yeah, we're very careful. We operate integrity. We're
about the truth. You know, if we ever misreport something,
we're very quick to retract and say, you know what,
we thought it was this, but we found out this information.
We want to give you the correct information. We're very
very careful about that. We have that on our website.

Speaker 14 (51:02):
And that really shows if a newspaper has Integah.

Speaker 17 (51:07):
Yeah, but but yeah, my experience with Black Boys News
has been amazing.

Speaker 14 (51:12):
And she's so excited. She got all passionate.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
Hey, we try to bring.

Speaker 14 (51:21):
What are we.

Speaker 17 (51:21):
Gonna do if we're not passionate about the things that we're.

Speaker 14 (51:24):
Involved, procrastinated.

Speaker 5 (51:28):
Us us.

Speaker 14 (51:29):
We're not dragging our passion amen.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
Definitely, definitely, definitely. With that being said, is there any
new things coming down from the Black Boys or any
articles or areas that you're trying to highlight within the
community or that you guys hope to highlight or connect with.

Speaker 17 (51:49):
Right, Yeah, there's a couple of things I wanted to mention,
and I'll let Nila share something as well. But we're
actually working on We did a caregiving series last year
and I think.

Speaker 16 (51:58):
I talked to you about that when we met.

Speaker 17 (52:00):
We partnered, well, we got some support in partnership with
the United Domestic Workers. They actually sponsored a series. They
underwrote about five articles in the series as well as
an exhibit. We had an exhibit over the Civil Rights
Institute in Riverside, and then we did a special talk
for all the.

Speaker 16 (52:20):
Caregivers that were part of the project. And then we're
expanding that this year.

Speaker 17 (52:26):
We're gonna launch a podcast for Black Voice and that's
gonna be our first series. Within that, we're also gonna
do a caregiving database and then some more op ads,
which we're hoping you'll be a part of that. So
that's an exciting thing that we have on the horizon.
That's gonna come out during Caregiving Awareness Month, which is
in November. And then this week we have coming up

(52:48):
an event called Mapping the Deep. It's a book signing
with doctor don Wright. She is a deep sea explorer
and the first person of color of any ethnicity to
explore the deep and start mapping the deep.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Beautiful.

Speaker 17 (53:03):
So she's been to the deepest part of the ocean,
which I think is called the Challenger Deep. And she'll
be there at a book signing at the Downtown Bookstore
in downtown Riverside.

Speaker 16 (53:12):
So if you're around, if you hear this, if you
see this, you know, come out.

Speaker 14 (53:17):
I like it in local newspapers, do science articles and
things like that. In the history tell the boss God
bless the I know, I know some of it's whitewashed.
Unwash it. There you go, there, you go unwashed.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
And then I was definitely Now.

Speaker 18 (53:40):
So we have in wildfire preparation event coming up on
October tenth. It's going to be at six pm. We
really want the community to come out because as we know,
Sam Bernardino and Riverside Counties are very susceptible to wildfires
and a lot of times the community just isn't prepared.
So we're going to have a panel and then we're
also going to do like many workshops where we discuss

(54:00):
it and just try to give the community the resources
that they need so that if and when a wildfire
does happen, they're not, you know, questioning what do I do?

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Doyn't know.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
Yeah, definitely, definitely. I know that we have about five
minutes left. So what I'm going to do with this
last minute is and we'll start with Nyla and we'll
make our way around the whole table. But for your peers,
for your demographic or your generation, could you share some
words of hope for because I know a lot of

(54:30):
you think there's no opportunities, and some think they're unworthy
of opportunities. But if you could speak a little life
into that audience and show them that hey, there are possible,
there's endless possibilities, but you have to take advantage of it.
You have to render the effort. If you could speak.

Speaker 18 (54:46):
Towards that, well, something that stuck with me actually from
the summit is something that doctor Angela Glover Blackwell said,
and she said that hope is a discipline, and ever
since then, I've been trying to do my part so
that I can feel So. I know that we're going
through a lot of hard times right now, but what
you have to do is take the step forward and

(55:07):
keep pushing, because you can't feel hope unless you do that.
So that's something that's you know, just been keeping me going,
and I hope that it can keep others going as well.

Speaker 5 (55:15):
Any relationship, because it got to be is excellent.

Speaker 18 (55:17):
I asked her family.

Speaker 16 (55:19):
She's like, well, I don't know.

Speaker 15 (55:22):
I hope, so.

Speaker 5 (55:24):
It's got to be. It's got to be. The brilliance
is I can see the brilliance of both.

Speaker 18 (55:27):
Thank you, Thank you.

Speaker 16 (55:31):
Hope.

Speaker 17 (55:33):
Hope is everlasting. It's not something that is never there.
You just may lose sight of it. So just reach
for it when you feel hopeless. That would be my
my two cents, my word of wisdom for today, because
in those times where I felt hopeless, I always look
for that that silver lining or as my grandmother say,

(55:57):
the glass that's half full, so that I don't look
at the empty.

Speaker 16 (56:01):
Parts of my life.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
Right, beautiful, beautiful? How about yourself? Brother Mons? Uh?

Speaker 15 (56:06):
Well, you know, I just I I really wanna encourage
you know, everybody out there that's uh that feeling hopeless
or they feel like that. You know that you know,
things just not gonna turn out and people are you know,
are against you or this and that or you just
can't make it. Just notice that if I me a

(56:30):
young man, uh can change his life around. And I'm
go'a say young cause I'm sixty five, but I still
feel but I'm saying, I'm just I'm just saying now,
but yeah, I like to just you know, I just
wanna give him some encouragements, some uh and and and
and and just let you let let him know that

(56:51):
no matter what, turn all your fears into hope. Because
what I what I truly believe and for me is
that be behind every successful man, you got to have
a strong woman. And not only that, but you just
always believe in yourself. Just believe in yourself and never

(57:12):
give up all.

Speaker 5 (57:12):
Definitely having having a strong support system.

Speaker 15 (57:16):
And the reason why I said that women because we
got some phenomenal women, the ladies. How we gonna be
successful without them? Yeah, that's right, that's.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
To the tangle. But on one plan to see one burst.
It's definitely a divine balanced here. How about yourself, I'm Robert.

Speaker 14 (57:36):
Hope makes the goals, then the goals, you have anxiety
to finish them right, and then of course you know
if you take care of that, you don't have the.

Speaker 5 (57:50):
Definitely, and what I'll say is that I echo the
sentiments of each one of our guests and our hosts
as well. I feel like, yes, sometimes the world can
be bleeved. The world could look like it's coming to
an end. But please believe, it's been people professing the
world's going to end, and they're no longer here. Our
time in this world comes to end. This world has

(58:11):
been here, and life has been on this planet for
millions of years.

Speaker 14 (58:14):
We probably don't know when it comes in.

Speaker 5 (58:16):
We won't be here. Our time will come to an end.
But the rock will stay spinning and the sun will
stay shining. Right, But we have to emulate those two truths,
that the rock will spin and the sun will shine,
and let that sun be that of hope that you
find within yourself, within your own mind, within your own heart.
I feel like our greatest battle within this lived experience

(58:38):
is that of our own mind. It's the battlefield of
the mind that we battle. So sometimes you have to
get out of your mind and get into your heart
and discover what your passion, what your love, what your gifts,
what your talents are, and find that strength and courage
to utilize and share these gifts with the world, because
often they will create a path for you. So for
those that may be feeling hopeless, Hey, if you're alive

(59:00):
and you're able to hear this, hey man, you're blessed
to be here. And hope is hope is in your heart.
We're taught to look outside of ourselves, but we need
to look with them. And I'll ended with that.

Speaker 14 (59:11):
And with that said, this is Robert Porter and at
b Ony Locker with I Love Sammernio County Radio show and.
