don't want to treat.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
The link intervenous Seeing whome.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
We had that, I think we had that in January
because it was kind of I think it was a
weird thing because some people couldn't hold down nothing and
couldn't hold and then some people you just felt late,
like you just didn't feel like doing anything. That's how
I felt.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
And then the body hurts, and yeah, the ear ache,
that part, that part is so significant. And the person
like me with vertigo, that's that's so not a problem
I like to have. Okay, nobody likes the problem I'm

Speaker 4 (03:28):
You know what's so crazy? We see even Scott, we're
gonna bring you in hotel. I got you. My mom
got that to you. And the funny thing is normally
in January, I usually get earaches anywhere, like I usually
have clogged ears because they don't dream well. So I
really was diagnosed to myself. So I said, oh, that's
all it's gonna be. They're gonna just crank it out
of my ear. And my wife said, oh, you know,

(03:49):
you should go to Express can and something told me
to go to the patient first because they used to
me right to express care. I mean, it may not
be a lot of people in there. Man, you know
that their registration process is busted.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
It's so long.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
You got once you signed the little kios, then you
gotta sit down and do everything on your own phone. Yeah,
it's like did this at home, like.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
A business point.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
They got two people at the desk playing on their
phones watching TV like I can wait a minute. So
all these people I just didn't get and then they
had them. When you go into the area where they
see where the rooms are, you got more people sitting around.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh Jesus, no, I only go to patient. No, I
can't go to patient first. But they the old school
urgent kid. They've been around forever.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
It's the nice nice to. One of my homeboys worked there,
he's one of the trainers, and they really keep it
really nice. I feel good about going there, and the
doctors at like they know what they're talking about. Because
my doctor she's like she likes to subscribe too much.
It's just in case.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Take this, just in case one of those doctors.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I don't want to be taking them. I'll be looking
at stuff up and it's like Okay, it may help
with that, but then later on you gotta worry about that.
Let me just go find some herbos supplements and just
take them down.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, and then you put me onto that that the
mat that grounds you and like kind of recharges you
your energy.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, the ground mate.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
That's that's WHU like coffee with protein powder take care
of everything, everything in it.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know how that's supposed to work, because don't
the coffee make you kind of loose?

Speaker 5 (05:42):

Speaker 4 (05:42):
No, once you get once your body get used to
it doesn't do that to you. You know you you

That's you put some flavorless protein powder and make it
nice and thick like hot chocolate. Then put some flavor

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Thank you man, and thank you for joining us this
even I mean so glad that you're here with this
resource to share with our audience. Please let our listeners
know who you are truly and what it is that
you do.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Honey, I'm i'ma love. Sorry, I'm gona love her. It's
my name is Amina. I'm from Washington, d C. I
am an advocate for the homeless with my big sister.
I call it my Big Sister mentor flash Mom. Her
name is Jennifer Jalencia and she's running for DC Council

(07:34):
right now for Ward eight. And she's a founder and
the CEO of the New Warrior Family in d C.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Give us your background. What made you want to work
with the homeless population.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Well, I, for one, I've seen in Philadelphia. My daddy
lived in Philly, and I seen how huge of the
you know, a great need for the homeless people, and
it's so many. When I went up there to see

(08:13):
my daddy, I've seen a lot of homeless people everywhere
in Philadelphia and then in DC, I see them everywhere.
And what really made me, what really made me upset
to want to to go towards the homeless is when
I was going, I was going, actually I was going

(08:36):
to dialysis one day and I and I overheard the
mayor actually seen they supposed to. They already knew that
this was going to happen, you know. They was just
throwing the homeless. Yeah, they were just throwing the homeless

(08:56):
people's stuff in the trash, you know, and my sleeping
bags all that. And I thought that was very horrible
because you know, they don't know where they next to
me lives, they don't know when you know, if they're
gonna get that stuff, you know, how they gonna get
that stuff back, and that just I just felt like
that is just not right for someone that's human to

(09:20):
even stoop that load to do people like that. That's like,
so I was like, oh my goodness, I definitely have
to I definitely have to do something, you know, because
I feel like you know, and also as a caseworker,
you see them, you know, as a behavioral health case worker,

(09:41):
you see them on the street. They mental is disturbed.
They's that's another reason why some of them can't be
placed in a stable housing because nobody actually want to
deal with the mental part. But they want they want
to be their caseworkers so bad just to get the money,
but they don't want to deal with that mental and

(10:02):
they really need to deal with the mental issue and
what really caused them to be the way that they are.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
So when did you start working in this field.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
I've been an advocate for I've been an advocate for
the homeless for that say, four years now four years?
Yeah's for a year, is it?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yes? I said, you have such a passion. Is it difficult? Like,
are all of the population I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I mean, let's just be real. We're all like thirty
days away from being homeless. Our dad going south. You know,
if you don't pay your bills, it's up something, something's
not going to give and so like when dealing with
the homeless population and providing them resources, what is it
that your agency is able to provide?

Speaker 5 (11:01):
So we provide. So we provide when we we deal
with the shelters as well. So when we we know
that most of the some of them homeless, some of
the homeless people don't want to deal with shelter, especially
the ones with family, so we try to get them

(11:22):
hotels and provide you know, food and stuff like that.
But you know, the hotels, you know, you they can't
last that long, you know, so we have to work hard.
So we try to work with our connections to get
the ones with the family, definitely with kids because kids
shouldn't be in shelters because it's not safe, you know.

(11:46):
And and it's so packed in shelters, and you know,
it's when you go into shelters, a lot of times
it's packed and a lot of times out of ten,
so you hear someones getting raped, somebody's stealing their stuff,
and it's a lot of things going into them shelters.
So and that's what made me wanted to create the

(12:07):
Jesus worth out of about your program.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Amen, that's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I love when service leaders come on and they just
have this overpowering message that they must share. And I'm
glad that you are able to provide these resources because
you saw a need and was granted the opportunity to
make this organization work. How is it that you go
about doing the business and maintaining your personal life?

Speaker 5 (12:39):
That's a good question. That's hard sometimes, that's hard because
as a young woman, you have a lot going on
because like right now, like right now, doing my business
and also doing the advocacy work. It's kind of hard

(13:03):
sometimes because you know, you try to spend time. I
spend time with my family m hm, and it's hard
to balance it.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Like we have a bit.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Of electronic difficulties, are we back?

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah? Hello?

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Where you go?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah? It must be your system because I heard her?

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh really.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
The Lord is mighty hello are Yeah. But I'm grateful
that you have these opportunities to help people. But are
you able to really like separate? That's how are you
able to connect?

Speaker 5 (13:51):
You know, like like with me, I'll be having a
hard time balancing, like my big sisters may be like
you're never around, you know, you're never around. You're always
doing this, You're always doing that, you know, I'm that
see because I feel like and it is a violence level,
you know, it is a violence level. But I haven't

(14:12):
found my balance yet whereas I can I can have time,
you know, because I'm always I'm always doing something and
it's always a need, like you know, dealing with domestic
violence women that's r and need they I can't I
can't say, oh, let me go be with my family,

(14:36):
you know, when there's a need you know, to be
that needs to be mad. So I'll be trying to
get my family to understand that, and that's where the
balance don't come in at that time. But I'm trying to,
like like my daddy's birthday by the time I be
in April, trying to get some some time in for that.

(15:01):
And so I'm definitely trying to definitely learn how to balance.
That's my only challenge that I'll be having is the
balance situation, because like I said, it is you never
know when the need is it needs to be met.
And we deal with a lot, we deal with a
lot of people that's in the hospitals, we go visit them.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
You actually visit them.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
It's children that needs to be and needs to be met.
It's so many things that that goes on and people
don't understand it. It's not that.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
So like what is it that you provide though, because
in a list of problems. So I'm trying to figure
out what what does help look like? When someone comes say,
I'm a mother with two kids and I've lost everything.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
How could you help me?

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Okay, first we we will definitely get you a place
to stay for a couple of days. We'll get you that,
get you food. But then it's time to get you
the resources. Time to get you the resources the help
that you need. And sometimes it depends on the case
in the matter because sometimes we deal with like one

(16:18):
time that I'm gonna give you an example, we had
a case where it was a family that was in
our car, actually living in a car, and it was
so oh my goodness, we had to raise the money
to give her a hotel because of the fact it
was so many of them, you know, how.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Many people was living in the car.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
Oh my goodness. About let me see her mom, her children,
her five children, think.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
About her her five children, Mmm.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Her children, to think about her children's They was artistic
all on most majority yep, yep. The four kids, it
was four kids and one another kid, but the one
wasn't autistic, but the four was the other one and
there was one mom and the mom was on O

(17:16):
sygen And I was like, oh my goodness, this business
is definitely a need we have to meet. So we
had to we had to go up there. We had
to go up there. Actually we found with she was
staying at. We bought them food, money, We got the
hotels for a couple of days. We called some churches,

(17:37):
we got some resources so she can be in a
place where her children and her mom could stay. Because
see these things because a lot of times, like I said,
these shelters, even in DC, Maryland, Virgina's are pop and
so it's so much of a need to kind you
never know when and when our or somebody is going

(18:01):
to need that space. And so when they give them shelters,
they try not to come out through shelters because they
know that it's gonna be hard to find another one.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Wow, that's powerful, and thank you for giving us an
example of just how a regular day goes.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
And that's not just that's that's your help for the hour.
It's like then you move on to the next person.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
MM, Like yeah, it's very it's very tense because you know,
especially when you're dealing with children, you know, it's a need,
you know, it's domestic when especially when, especially when you're
dealing with domestic violence, somebody running from a mate. They
could be a man or female, but they've gone through

(18:51):
something and you never know the trauma that they went through.
So we all find them in house somewhere that saves
us safety. That so we got from my you know,
that's why in our group that deals with stuff like that.
So we're here, call them up and put them over
there and see. And that's what the network is all about.
We try to network and try to be that power.

(19:17):
How can I say that power network that can help
put people in the right place where they need to be.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
That's amazing. What would the application process look like?

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Well, if Jesus for a housing voucher program. It's not
up and running yet, but we're getting towards that. Our
application is basically is basically it has your name, your
you know your name and whatever it is that you
need help with on the applications like safe and inserts

(19:52):
like your example like Saydantion, you need help with your utility, Okay,
and you say, well, I mean hope, well my utility.
I don't want to get evicted, you know, so we
will help you with that. We'll help you with that.
But what our goal is. Our goal is to actually
present vouchers, get a building for our so we can

(20:14):
start a program, and so we can talk to some developers,
some building developers, so we can do the community, so
we can have affordable apartments.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Amen, Okay, you hear it.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
They're looking for some contractors out here so they can
give something some type of housing. A building will be wonderful,
apartments that would be helpful. But let me ask you this.
And I don't want to sound ignorant, but like in
the Bible, God tells us that there's always going to

(20:49):
be homeless people and we need to take care of them.
So do you feel like a spiritual connection when you're
being helpful and providing resources or or or is there
something else?

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Okay, I'm let's say I remember I got a name
of example for that. I'm glad you answer that question.
I had a task I had to do and this
was basically a guard tad. Now we was not I
didn't understand what that assignment was. But once I got there.

(21:26):
I understood that as Simon, we was walking, we was driving,
and it was this man. It was this man. And
I give you two examples, right, But first I give
you the first one. We was driving up and this
man he was laying on the front. Now, a lot
of people thought he was dead, right, A lot of

(21:48):
people thought he was dead. And he was homeless too, Okay,
So we got up there. We got up there. Me
and my big sister, who I call my mentor, got
up there. And after we're coming up there, I'm like, shoot,
forget that. I see, I see you need I'm gonna
go over there. So I went over there and see
but something told me to lay hands on him. So

(22:11):
when I start praying and everything and interceding for this man,
all out here is him take a deep breath, and
he literally woke up a man and he was mumbling
but he knew, he didn't he knew, he didn't know
where he was at, but he was alive. He thought

(22:34):
he was dead, but he was alive. And I said,
thank God for that. And then next thing you know,
he got into the ambulams. But I say, I say,
when I touched someone, or if I'm going towards any soul.
I always pray first because you never know who or
what type of spirit is upon a person. And another

(22:57):
thing that I think about the when I'm talking to them,
they are so awesome. They are awesome. I'd be like, oh,
my goodness, like you're talking to like you talk to
your brothers or sisters. They are so they are so awesome,

(23:18):
and they're so smart. They so smart, you would think
that they're you know, a lot of people put this
delusion in the mindset of thinking that they're not that
they're just you know, I don't know how they got
there or whatever, trash on the shoe or whatever you
want to call it. But they are really smart. They

(23:40):
are so smart and intelligent. And then when I talk
to them, I'd be like Dan talking, You got your
own business. We connect more of them. So when I
when I'm out there feeding, when we out there feeding
them giving them clothes, I mean, I'm telling you men clothes.
We needed more men clothes. We caught them email clothes

(24:01):
and we have missed. But when we do get the
men clothes, the men be so happy, you know, and
I be so happy because you see the smiles in
their face because they're seeing somebody that's showing them love.
And love what conquers everything, and love is God is
what'sin God. And so I love. That's why I love

(24:24):
what I do because I know this is what God
asks me to do. This is what God wants me
to do. And I don't see I'm not in for
no money or nothing like that. I just want God's will.
My mission is doing God's will in God's will. Only

(24:44):
I was telling you about was the what's the man
that I met in I'm in? I was at Panda
Expressed It with so many people at this at this
panthe that'xpressed, and they had im talking about when I said,
they had bags or they had all these bags and
everything in their hands. This man was only asking for

(25:06):
something to eat. And when I said, I said, God,
I don't know what I wanted to eat. You know
what I'm saying. But the spirit brought me there and
I went in it, and I couldn't believe that all
these people were just ignoring this one person. And then
when I came up and asked him, what only thing

(25:27):
he wanted was a bowl and a Coca cola. Okay,
And so when I bought him that the lady in
the baccon me said, I would have did that if
I had changed.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Girl, Just mind your business, Like, I don't even know
why you comment on what just happened, Like, just enjoyed
the story and Keith on walk.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
And if I had him change, that was anyway.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
My question. That's what you said. I said, you're using
you're using a bake card time.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
About See, I don't have a problem feeding the homeless.
I do it all the time. And I'd rather feed
you than give you money. And I only say that
because I'm not sure about, you know, if location matters.
But here we got crackheads, we got junkies, and they

(26:20):
like to sleep outside when it's good weather, and so
they're not reliable with you know, payments and things of
that arrangement.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
And so.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
I'm just sitting there thinking like, well, like God, what
can we do about this? Like what can we do?
Like how can we help?

Speaker 5 (26:42):
That's why I want to That's why we was. She
just did a parade for DC, so if she went
to Baltimore, did their parade in Baltimore. Now she's trying
to get it in fairly and you know, but she
got to talk to somebody that's allocating for the homeless

(27:05):
and Philly, and I said, okay, I would look into that,
but my schedule got so busy. My schedule got so
busy I couldn't look into the other states and cities
that was that I was supposed to have been doing.
So I had to put that on hold. And I
feel real bad about that, but I feel like you, yes,

(27:31):
I feel like once I get everything in line for
Jesus work and then you know, I have a tour
on June and eighth for my book signing tour for.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
M talk about your book.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Oh yeah, my book is called The Perfect Life. It's
called The Perfect Life. And my my true authors that's
going with me is Tsha Winklers and Barbie Johnson and
they have a podcast a swell called The Book Breakers.
And we just came up with a Dynamic three and

(28:14):
just said we won't go out on a tour for
the d m V and just you know, do our
book because we want to, and then we want to
go to other cities in state once we hear it.
Once we finished with the d m V, we're gonna
go somewhere else. But my book is that actually is

(28:35):
a spiritual book. Uh. God actually used me to write
this book where I was in a hospital. I can
believe it. But when you read this book is the
it's basically a message within a message of this book.
It's more of a awakening and to let you know

(28:57):
that don't leave God behind seat they put my verse
and so I love it is a great, powerful book.
And I just I just like how God's using all
of us. You know, he always uses us in a

(29:19):
mission for something to get to get his word out.
And that's what I love about this this book and
about Jee's works. So it's really awesome. And our two
events that's about to happen. March the twenty second is
the Hope and healing and June the seventh is the
Little Tyrones legacy and that's killing our streets.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
I love it. I love it.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I like how you just got out there, like listen,
there's a need, here's a an organization that I'm building,
and this is what is going to serve, this is
who is going to serve, and that you're wrapping it
all up in the works of our saviors because those
are the type of service people that we need out here.
We need help, we need help and things that's not

(30:09):
surrounded by entertainment. We need help with real life, how
to maintain, how to sustain a job, and so forth's
like it's the youth.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
I'm sorry for them because I'm.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Like, y'all homeless, you don't want to work, you're lazy,
and everybody thinks they can be an internet with I mean,
I hope.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
So, but what skills are you able to learn?

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Like do you provide those type of resources as well,
like job connections or job skills.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
I'm glad you asked that question. Well, when we when
we start our program, when we get out our buildings,
we start we get our building, we definitely that's going
to be in our programs. We want to have. We
want to have because we want to deal with that
inner man. We want to deal with that too, because
we don't want you. We don't want you to have

(31:01):
no fear. We want you to walk overcoming some things.
You know, and then we want to help you with financials,
you know, your financials, because you definitely need that. And
we definitely want to help you in the education department,
and we want to help you find a job because see,
what we don't want you to do is depend on us.

(31:24):
We want you to be independent. So that means we
want the voucher program to be like a little stepping stone,
like okay, you go your voucher program, but once a
certain certain time you should have your feet and the
door and a job, and we don't give you time
to you know, get yourself together and everything. So I

(31:46):
think this is going to be a great process. And
definitely with the affordable housing, the affordable housing apartments, and
that'll be great. And I love this idea that God
put any because I'm not just helping those that are homeless,
but helping those that can't afford the high rate rent.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Exactly, rent is expensive here in Baltimore. How much is
it where you are.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
Oh, Brant, Let's see. It depends on where you want
to live, okay, like in Southwest they want least three thousand,
three thousand and up, and then it depends on how

(32:44):
many bedrooms you want. I mean, well housing, But the
thing about web thousand. If you have thousand on a voucher,
it goes down to a certain a certain a certain degree,
but you don't pay the market rent. But market room
is real hard in DC because this is a district

(33:05):
it's not a state mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Three thousand. That's a lot of money for something that's
not a house.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
Will get you a house exactly. That's got to dealing
with dealing with all this rent because it's like that's
what they're pushing people into doing once you get these
houses whatever. I feel like, if they're not ready, you know,
people not financial. Yeah, if people not ready to have

(33:37):
the the house and they not you know, responsible enough,
they'll lose that. They'll lose that up, they'll lose it.
They'll lose it. And that's why you financial basically and
know how to budget. You got to know how to budget.
So it's all about discipline. And I feel like Jesus

(34:01):
four thousand voucher program is a go to because and
that's why we need sponsors. We need sponsors, partnerships, and
I've been reaching out the churches and I feel like,
you know, churches should want churches should want a voucher
program in there, in there, you know, in their community.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
That's a nice Churches provide a lot and sometimes the
bigger the church, the more programs they have for the
community they're built in.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
And I like that at my church. I'm not trying
to plug here.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
But I like that my church has these programs available
because it makes me feel like I'm a small part
of the help whenever I do something to kind of
contribute to that effort. But once we once we're outside
of the church, once we're outside of the nonprofit sector,
so many deep pockets out there, Like I'm glad that

(35:04):
nonprofits can help nonprofits, But what other big pocket agency
out there could just do a drop in a bucket.
But it means so much to us, It means so
much to your programs, you know, I'm just curious, Like,
if anyone's listening right now, please please please.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Provide your business exactly.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Like Like one thing I try to connect with is
Pepco because you know, they utilities, They help people with utilities,
Salvation Army, stuff like that. I reached out to them
because I feel like, if you're helping people with you know, utilities,

(35:48):
you should want to you know, hand those Let me
help you as well, you know, should join the team.
Let's partner up because it will be it will be great.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
And.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
And then we could get towards like food stores, you know,
get towards food stores to help people have food on
their tables just in case they run out of food.
You never know who and need food because of the
food stamps trust and Ali's food stamps is not uh

(36:22):
you know, I keep translating, but it's not everyday thing.
You know. Once your food stamps is gone, that's it.
You know, we got to wait till the next month.
So food stamps go, especially if you have kids, so
you have to be That's why I be speaking about
the budget, about the budget, and I know that things

(36:44):
are going high, like yes, that's outrageous, and they really
trying to put people into whole house, you know, so
we definitely need to help help people that are definitely
in me of pantry, vegetables and stuff like that. That's

(37:07):
healthy for the kids.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Well, yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
The school system steps up a lot making sure they
provide meals for children, but sometimes those lunches they need
to do better, Like school lunch, they need to do better,
especially when you get to see the the type of
meals that are served in different countries, how they're nurturing
the brains of their students. How it's not a lot

(37:34):
of fast food and processed foods and things of that nature.
A bunch of sweets and salts and heavy caloric meals.
You know, you're not helping them. You make them sluggish, lazy, exactly,
That's exactly it.

Speaker 5 (37:50):
You definitely want to bring that that that energy drive
back to your brain because we don't we don't want
you sleeping in school. You get what I'm saying that
you're there to learn, not to sweep.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
So, right, how does the male population deal with homelessness?

Speaker 5 (38:15):
Let's see, I know where I advocated at. It's a
lot of males there. Okay, it's a lot of males,
and I know it's a lot. It's a it's a
brother that I know. His name is Reverend Kenneth Clark.

(38:37):
He's he works with the males too. Okay, he works
with the males as well. That's in shelters. He try
to help them get apartments and stuff like that. So
he has a ministry called a Breath of Life, and
he definitely gets Oh my goodness, he gets. He he

(38:57):
wants to help these men get a foot in the door,
you know. And it's so sad that we did connect
or or disconnect from we look more into the women's side. Yeah,
I get it, because we feel like the women is

(39:21):
a much more need, but more is also a need too,
and and that's where he comes in and help the men.
And like I said, and where we add it's a
lot of men there. Yeah, I understand for like clothes,
men clothing, And I'm like this hard to find men

(39:44):
clothing because a lot of men, but a lot a
lot of people won't donate men clothing because maybe they
don't have, you know, but you know, a man, I
got it.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
You know. I'm glad you mentioned all of that, because
the black family was the biggest strongest unit in the
United States at one point in time, and then programs
were created that took the black man out of his home.
And so now I feel like there's a lot of
defeated men or men that haven't really processed to the

(40:23):
title and the characteristics of men. Some of them are
old children to some extent with the concept of responsibility
is the area that I'm speaking of. But I truly
feel that if these men were nurtured and brought up
and given the chance and want to experience the chance,

(40:45):
because you gotta be willing, okay, and so that want
to experience the chance to just grow themselves, build your house,
learn these skills, get off the ground. And so although
it Gods that they will always be homeless and we're
supposed to help them, I don't think God meant for
men to just decline. Like sometimes I see these young

(41:08):
brothers out here and they just laying on the ground.
Or we got a lot of people that want to
be on drugs asking for money so they can get
more drugs. And so it's like, well, which ones do
you help or which ones do you walk by? Should
you help everybody? Do you see that man at that
corner every day at two o'clock? It's like they have workshifts,

(41:29):
you know, And so it's like how deciphering from those
that are in need to those that are just being
the bad apples and the crew? It kind of deters
some people. But I just want to end this conversation
when the fact that we are all just minutes or
a couple dollars away from being just like these homeless people,

(41:52):
and so by God's grace, we're able to get up
and work and to provide a living for our family
and for ourselves by no means at all should we
ever feel like we are bigger than the other. And
so let's do what we can and everybody, let's do
what we can and just start right there. And so
I thank you for coming on tonight. Did you have

(42:14):
any information that you wanted to share leave with our audience,
Any type of events coming up to your opportunity to
plug away.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Yes, and thank you for allowing me to come more
talk about it. Both of my both of my organizations,
not my elementation, but one of my organizations and my
working job. But yes, I have two events coming and

(42:46):
it's called Hoping Healing is the fundraiser event, and that
is for domestic violence and those that have been through
housing and glade and those that want to speak. I'm
also looking for speakers and and uh, those that have
been through suicide, those who have been through with suicide attempt.

(43:10):
We want to we want to hear you, want to
hear you, want to hear your story. I know how
it feels to be in that situation as far as
suicide attempt. Because the reason why I'm doing my next
event is which is June seventh, two thousand twenty five,
it's called Little Tyron Lega Fee Uh that's healing, Healing

(43:34):
our streets. That's where my brother has passed away, got
shot and thank you. And and I dealt with suicide,
dealing with that, that's saying, so I basically know what
it feels like to deal with death knocking at your door.

(43:57):
So I and that right there is for him is
actually a dedication to him and for those that have
been going or parents or who lost the child and
from gun violence. Because we want we want to come together.
We want to learn to come together and not be divided,

(44:19):
but learn to come together as one be on one
accord and knowing that God is God is the one
that's in control and he has the upper hand if
we come together, I think, and stop stop us or
tear us apart. And as we walk through the value
of the child, and we will stop on that devil

(44:39):
every chance we get. So we have to come together
and learn to love each other because it is joy.
It might be a bad day, but it's always joy
in the morning.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Thank you so much for that, Batman.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
Do you want to chime in, Yeah, I just want
to say thank you so much for sharing everything you
guys are doing out there, and just bring alertness to
what's going on people. You know it's not being promoted,
you know, you just see people in the corner. You
think they they okay or they crazy, but they need help,
you know, so sometimes it doesn't hurt. You know, have

(45:13):
a little money on the side of your car, you know,
you change drawer, just hand it to them when you
get a chance, you know, when you drive by, do that.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day and for
your daily break it. I thank you for your blessings.
I thank you for the future that you have provided
for us, one that is unknown, one that is not promised. Lord,
I asks that you blessed Colleen and her organizations. I

(46:12):
pray that you fill her organizations with the people and
the knowledge and the resources required to make.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
This need come true.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
We need more resources for all of our problems, and
we need to pay more attention to our humans because
we are brothers and sisters and we are your children.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
So thank you Lord for being all that you are.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
And we're asking Jesus' name that you never leave us,
never forsake us, and that you always hear our prayers.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
We love you, Lord, and amen. Amen man, oh you're welcome.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
And I mean real quickly. You know, in a DC area,
in some parts of Maryland, a lot of our probationary
federal employees and taking a hint, and a lot of
them are our young people. And what's not fair about that?
As we asked them to go to school and get
good grades so you can get a good job, and
they did that, they interviewed, they aced it, and now

(47:10):
six months on the job to getting kicked off for
who knows what.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Yeah, keep doing prayer.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
Yeah, it's definitely is definitely in that. I'm definitely going
to keep them in prayer because you know, it's always
discrimination against us. So I'm definitely going to keep them
in prayer. Because this is democracy. It was never built
for us, you know, we was always built to be
a whole.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
But we survivors.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
