Speaker 1 (02:06):
To these seek elevation experience with yours truly, attorney Alakisha.
I am an attorney, but I'm not yours. More than
likely I'm not, And if I'm not, I'm not giving
any legal advice within any information that I share, I
am giving education, legal information. Take the gems and do

(02:27):
with them as you will if I touch on any
legal issues. But right here is where real issues, real people,
and real conversations takes in a stage. Because change doesn't
happen in silence and in our bravery. We must speak,
speak with intention and intelligence. From sports and entertainment to

(02:53):
business and community. Right here is where we elevate voices
that need to be heard. But we're not just elevating
voices to be heard. We're not just talking. We're doing
so so that you, the listener or viewer, can be
empowered inspired as we challenge the status quo. So for

(03:18):
this season, season three, I just wrapped up the live
stage segments elevating voices that need to be heard in
different industries to elevate the viewers and listeners and to

(03:39):
also hopefully make connections. But for the remaining of the season,
what is going to happen is it will be me
and you, just raw, real and straight to the point.
I will bring other people back on again. I'm trying

(04:01):
to decide how I want to do that for next season.
And for those who are listening who have made requests,
I thank you so much for sending requests to grace
the stage. I definitely, as I have responded to you, all,
am keeping a list and we will connect and talk

(04:25):
and I will look at a way to incorporate you
in this Elevation circle for the elevators, but right now
bring it home. I'm going to bring it back to
the old school podcast energy. Remember the way it all
started before the lights and the cameras and live streams.

(04:48):
All of that is good because I'm going to incorporate
all of it. I love the elevation. That's what I'm about,
right elevation, So I love all of the lights, cameras,
a live stream, but also remember during that old school feel,
and I do a twist to it because these remaining segments,

(05:09):
of course, will be available on all streaming podcasts or
streaming you know, iHeart Spotify, Apple. It will be available
on all that. But I'm still going to post this
on YouTube. I'll still have it there so we don't

(05:31):
break the way that you're used to connecting with Seek Elevation.
Maybe you connect with it on both platforms, the visual
and audio, maybe one or the other. So I still
will incorporate putting the videos on YouTube, even though it

(05:52):
is straight old school podcast energy. And also for those
who may have missed our live session throughout the season,
miss some of them, maybe you just happened upon this
channel and didn't even know there were live sessions. You
can still view those sessions on YouTube. We will be

(06:15):
repurposing the live stage interviews. We will clip them up
so you can watch them in short form or long form,
so they're still there. And those of you who have
attended all or most of all, this is a way
you can still catch up and go back to see
if maybe you've missed something during the live during the conversation,

(06:38):
if there's anything possibly missed, you have a chance to rewatch.
Or maybe you watch one and it wasn't enough to
watch it one time and you said, I have to
go back and watch that again. There's a few of
them I can think of offhand that applies to that situation,
so that would be awesome. Today. What I am doing,

(07:03):
I am opening up our one on one session by
just addressing some real talk some of the recent hot
topics and debates that have been just stirring up tension
in general. I know it has been doing that in
my space, so there's a lot of times that of course,

(07:27):
with me doing like this, being on YouTube or other
social media, you have to you have to get on
the world Wide Web, and you're seeing what's going on
all around. Even when you just try to focus on
isolated avenues such as your social media pages. You're still

(07:48):
seeing it there. And I always question because I said,
I thought algorithm is what drives what I see and
what I don't see. That's what I always heard, and
I'm like, I don't chase and look at certain things
that are finding their way on my page. So I
don't know about the algorithm. I think there's certain things
that just pushed for us all to see anyway, and

(08:12):
then there are certain things that applies to the algorithm.
But there's so much that has been going on with
recent hot topics and debates, and there's just this popular
belief that business is one lane, and everything else it's

(08:32):
another lane. Everything else such as politics, religion, the justice system,
and on and on, belongs in another I know, speaking
of social media platforms, LinkedIn is one like that, right,
So there could be some very important, important situations going on,

(08:53):
necessary conversations that need to be had, and some people
will take it to lin LinkedIn and they may preface
that post with I know this is not Facebook, but
or there's times that people just post about certain topics
and other people will come comment, can you please take

(09:13):
this off LinkedIn? This is not Facebook. This is where
we posted to just focus on business. But I don't
subscribe to that. I believe everything is interconnected. Your money,
your mindset, your morals, they are all interconnected. They all

(09:34):
sit at the same table. And if we're if we're
going to build just real lasting ownership, especially when it
comes to business, we can't ignore the systems. Believes we
can't ignore the clients that's shaping our decisions. Even if

(09:58):
you're not focused on ownership with the business, maybe not
focus on ownership with anything and you just focus on
I just get up by grind, I work still getting up,
going to work, showing up as your best self for
whomever you're working for. It's still all about mindset. I know.

(10:22):
One of our popular conversations headliners as we're talking about
now is mental health. Mental health, Right, I didn't just
fall out the sky, like if we're gonna talk about that,
what is affecting that?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's not this invisible boogeyman? Like, if we're talking about
mental health, what is affecting it? Everything that's going on
around us? And if our mental health, if people mental
health is affected, then it spews over to everything that
they do and that they're connected to everything that they

(11:06):
have to make a decision about, whether it's family, work,
whatever it is, mental health. It's about our thoughts. So
I don't subscribe to this is a lane to just
talk about business and please bring that somewhere else. No,

(11:27):
all of it needs to be talked about, and that's
what we need to start doing. We need to talk
about everything that affects everything because it is interconnected. And
that's where I want to start off my first one
on one segment with you with. Because there are some
things that, again, like I just said earlier, have been

(11:48):
bothersome to me. I have to definitely go to self, meditate, pray,
turn inwardly in order for me to continue to execute
an activate outwardly. And in doing so, I've received a
lot of answers to a lot of questions and frustrations

(12:13):
and doubt. I've received some clarity on that and that's
some of the things that I want to share today.
Use my platform for that for us to elevate as
I continue to elevate myself. So I definitely want to
talk about politics, I want to talk about faith beliefs,

(12:41):
and I want to talk about economics. So politic faith,
and economic climate. These are three things that are so
hitting hard, so hard right now. There's a lot of
other things going on, but these are really hitting hard,
at least I know in my space. So that's what
I want to focus on. And if we're wanting to
talk about being our best version in any industry, because

(13:07):
this is I'm going. Now, I'm going to what I
do right, I go and I empower individuals and specific industries.
I empower creatives, business owners and athletes. If I'm if,
I'm even going to focus on doing what I do best,

(13:32):
which is prioritizing people's legacy and helping them establish that
whatever that means to them. These are the things we
have to be grounded in before I even show up
to be of service. I am a constantly, you know,

(13:55):
in tuned to these three areas in a healthy manner,
because I do believe some people can get so unhealthy
in it. I stay in tuned enough to know what
I need to know in order to be grounded and
what I need to do. So I want to start
with politics and then we'll go into faith, and then

(14:17):
I'll end up end off with the economic climate. Some
thoughts on it. So starting with politics, what comes to
my mind is not just who's running or what party
you like. That's low level thinking. I'm talking about high

(14:40):
level here. I want to talk about the deeper game
because for too long we have existed just thinking about parties.
Democrat versus Republican, it's this versus versus versus. There's this
huge division. Listen, we always talk about the streets and gangs.

(15:07):
People bring that up, all these these these gangs and streets,
and we gotta.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Clean up.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
The crime and all this. The red and Blue and
Government is a tougher gang than the red and blue
in the streets. If we look at this, one of
the most dangerous battlefields is the Red and Blue and

(15:39):
Government because it thrives on division and it weaponizeses identity.
That's what it do.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
So, yes, there's things that we have to focus on
and address. Uh, when it comes to these our safety
in these streets and we can we have to look
at why some of that even exists. Why do some

(16:13):
individuals even feel compelled to form these groups that sometime
engages in violent acts. Why are these violent acts there?
Not to say that every situation is tied to a

(16:33):
lack or not having right. Some people just may innately
just have that rough heart and heart maybe, but I'm
talking about the grand scale of things, why we are
even moving the way we move as a society. But
that government established itself, it knew why it wanted to

(16:56):
be established. If we go all the way back to
the beginning, we're not going to do that in this
with America being started as a business. If we're talking
about business, this is why we can't even separate politics.
We can't separate any of that because all of that
is a business, all of it the politics of control,
it's a business. And the ponds are everybody that's being

(17:22):
used to move around. So, yes, that red and blue
is a tough government, and we subscribe to this right,
We latch onto this narrative of division that you have
to pick and you have to identify. You're red or
you blue. Even when you have some people who say, okay,

(17:45):
I'm independent, whatever it is that's you don't really hear
that talked about. That is washed away. What is prevalent,
what is loud, what is forced, is red and blue,
and people wave their flags proudly with that. And although

(18:11):
it has change throughout history, with that red and blue
is supposed to look like. At the end of the day,
it's still about the vision because it's supposed to be
we the people, and somehow we recite read the people,
but we the people are are controlled by a very few,

(18:37):
and then we go at it amongst each other. And
what most people don't see is that while we are arguing,
while we are planting these flags and saying this is
my identity, while the media is inflaming emotions, there's a

(19:00):
lot of changes being made behind the closed doors. Now
what is decided to be shared up front is very selective,
very There's a lot of things happening while we're distracted, divided, fighting.
There's a lot of things, and sometimes we don't even

(19:21):
hear what those things are until it's done. When we
do hear some things, that's in the process, we're so
emotional that we cannot mentally and logically process what we're
even hearing because we hear from a bias, from a

(19:42):
red or blue bias. We can have the same information
that's dropped to everyone, but how we individually process that
information is going to be filtered through the bias that
we have. And if we're already listened to information from

(20:04):
a red bias or a blue bias, it's already filtered
and predicted on how it's going to land. But if
we can wake up and I know that that word
has been attacked to be woke, to be this, and
some people have just like with any word, have just

(20:29):
washed it, use it for whatever reasons. But at the
end of the day, looking at the Webster dictionary and
just being awake, I would prefer to be awake than
be sleep. So I'm just saying to the true essence
of the word, not some fad. If we wake up
and stop sleeping and dismantle these biases that we allow

(20:57):
to be put on us, we can process information that
we hear from a more pure, pure place. Then we
will have a lot of aha, like wait, hold up, what, No,
that's not right. But we allow ourselves to dismiss some

(21:21):
potent information because we are so loyal to whatever identity
we're loyal to. For me, I'm not to either, and
I am very grateful and thankful to always seek and

(21:42):
stand on the side of not sleeping. I am not
latched on to any identity that's being weaponized. No blue,
no red. I'm not about put party. I'm about people.

(22:02):
I'm about progress, I'm about prosperity, and I listen for that. However,
and whomever is coming out of so all of us
on the ground, regardless of race, religion, location, those that's

(22:25):
on the ground, we're being manipulated and we're being used
and used towards or against each other. Not a new
game though, right, it's not new. It's from the beginning
of time. It's not new. But what can be new

(22:46):
is us changing. And those who are listening. We may
be listening right now in twenty twenty five, but truly
what my hopes are are those listening in the future.
I am speaking in the present with the hopes and
faith of future listeners the same way as myself doing

(23:07):
research now, I find a lot of things historically from
the past to inform me on my present. And those
individuals that I research don't even know right, A lot
of them along gone don't know that someone like myself

(23:27):
has studied their knowledge and information, but they left it
for the future even though it was happening. Then what
do they say, Sometime you may plant the seas that
grow a treat that you won't enjoy the shade under.

(23:49):
I'm using my platform to share now, and I hope
that it pierces the hearts of individuals in the noun,
but I'm super hopeful that it pierces the hearts of
those who are going to be on the continuum of change,
activating it and not just talking about it. But politics

(24:15):
uses everyone's vulnerabilities. It does, and it knows if we
really pay attention and stop looking from the biases, stop
looking from this. And that's another thing too, Right, when
we're talking about red and blue, a lot of times
those words are really being you synonymously with other words.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Right.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
Sometimes you say red, we think okay, or conservative is
supposed to be all white, and you say Democrat or
blue and is supposed to be black people, and then
you have other people that just fall in between. But
we know that's not the case, because we have all
types of people that identify with red, and all types
of people that identify with blue, all people identify we

(24:59):
with pubs, bookings, all people that identify with Democrats. Now,
I do know that the core of each of those parties,
they stand on different principles at its core, and people
don't like the core of those principles, but they are
one coin opposite sides. They are one bird and each

(25:23):
have a wing. It's the same. Whatever they just accord
they decided to stand on the At the end of
the day, they're flying in the same direction, which is
to use our vulnerabilities in order for them to achieve
whatever it is that they feel they want to achieve,
whatever they want to control. And we know that when

(25:47):
emotions are high, truth is buried. We are we the
people who are supposed to be using this democracy, this government,
in order to push the things that we the people
felt was best for us, not the other way around.

(26:08):
You have these individuals in these certain positions pushing on
us what we think we should accept, and then we're
fighting each other to amplify their voices. It's supposed to be.
It is supposed to be our voices and not just

(26:30):
looking at when I say the government. A lot of times, okay,
we've got going on now with the president. There's a
lot of different things going on, but most people only
focus on politics from that bird's eye view looking at
the president. They go out, We go out and droves
every four years whoever's running. Sometime we're pushed.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
You.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
You have all of these campaigns and these hypes time
to vote, time to vote, time to vote, time for
the president. It reminds me as a track a fleet, right.
It reminds me that people think track is only relevant
every four years doing Olympics. That's that frustration level for me.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Right.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Track and field goes on beyond every four years, beyond Olympics,
it goes on all year round, every year, but it
only garners their attention from people when it's time for
the Olympics. The same thing when we talk about politics,
the tension is during that Olympic time, time to vote

(27:36):
for the president. But when we're looking at how this
system work, it's more than the president.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
You know.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
We have the executive branch, we have legislation, we have
judicial all of them have their different parts, and then
we have to look at those that's on the ground.
We can't focus on these headlines and these debates. Meanwhile,
the real plays are happening quietly at the base level.

(28:13):
We're literally distracted from that route. A lot of plays
are there. Hints the reason why when we vote in
someone such as the president, they make sure they pull
in and to point people individuals in certain places, because
it's a concerted effort in order to effectuate these changes.

(28:40):
There's times things have to go through legislation. There's times
things have to go it's judicial who has jurisdiction over what.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
And.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
We the people.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Are not that educated in it because I believe my
point of view is that we feel that, and I'm
using generality when I let me just go and put
that disclaimer. A lot of times I try my best
not to just for ease and simplicity of speaking, I

(29:17):
may say we all or something like that, but I
do know that's not everyone, right. I'm not saying everyone
because I'm putting myself. I'm throwing myself into this conversation.
I including myself in this conversation, even when I know
my thinking is starkly different than a lot of things

(29:37):
that I'm saying. So I'm just saying we. So we
do think that, Okay, we have this government, and this
government is supposed to make sure we're all good and
we're gonna get taken care of. And we hear a
lot about presidents that's who's front facing. We hear about that.

(29:58):
It gets quiet, everybody else get quiets. Not much talk
about it in less and less and until it's time
to talk about it until it's time to talk about
the mayor or the governor, or the commission or whoever.
Until it's time to talk about those individuals. We're really
just hearing about the president. We very really hear about
the vice president, who does a lot of work, takes

(30:22):
a lot of meetings, do a lot of the negotiations.
When we even thinking about voting for the president, we
focus on just the president and then they decide, Okay,
let me name who my running mate is going to be.
We don't even think about, oh wait, we've run for
this president, but who are they considering their running maate
to be? Because that running maate, that vice president is very,

(30:46):
very crucial. But we're looking at things at the bird's eye,
and it's this time that we cannot do that. It
is affecting us on all levels, all level. This isn't
just red versus blue, and it's not just black versus white,

(31:11):
brown versus black, brown versus white, yellow versus black. None
of that stuff, all of the social constructs, all of
these social constructs that's thrown out there, it's none of that.
This is us versus them, that's who it is. So

(31:31):
who is us? Those of us who want to be free,
those of us who want to build, to own, to
prosper us, and them those who want to control, to steal,

(31:52):
to manipulate. That right there has no color, it's only
position of power. And those of us who want to
be free and build and own and prosper them weaponize
all of that and make us live in such a

(32:14):
fearful state and think we have to compete in order
to be free, in order to build, in order to own,
in order to prosper, make us feel we have to
compete to do that while they're doing that and controlling.
You know, that's where certain things are used. All of

(32:37):
the isms, all of the isms are used. We talk
a lot, a lot about racism, and especially when we
talk about this red and blue, we think we focus
strictly on racism. Oh, you're racist if you're red, or

(32:57):
you're lazy, and whatever other negative connotation. If you're blue,
you're hateful of you this, no, no, no, all the isms,
and speaking of that, what's very important is while we
use words that's pushed on us, all of the isms,
we need to sit and really understand the power and

(33:24):
meaning of words. Because we speaking of using words and
throwing them around such as woke. Racism is one of it,
all right, you hear everyone call someone racism just looking
at the definition of it. Just go look it up. Right,
we confuse racism with discrimination, with prejudice. They're all they're

(33:45):
all different. But we're throwing these words in order to
suggest again, keep us divided, keep us labeling. If we're
talking about system, we're talking about a system of advantage,
of advantage, excuse me, based on race, right, a system

(34:08):
that results in racial inequalities. Just saying, you know, I
have this thought about someone because of their social constructed race,
or I feel this way, or you think somebody don't
like you because of your socially constructed race. That's not racism.

(34:29):
That's a system.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Right.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
We're looking at you know, how you talk about an individual,
it may be a prejudice. There's this preconceived opinion about you,
a preconceived opinion that may not be based on any
reason or experience or or maybe based on that, but
they're prejudging you based on that. That's a prejudice.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Right.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
And I know a lot of times I've heard people say, oh, this, uh,
black person is racist or this according to the definition
we know Okay, black person cannot be racism because it's
racist because of a system. They don't control, a system
that can create these racial inequalities. That's in the US.

(35:19):
Now let me, let me, let me slope and crap myself. Now,
someone that is of that is of who is black,
who identify as being black, can be racist in a
country where they can control a system and have advantages
based on race that results in racial equality. So absolutely

(35:43):
they can, I'm I'm speaking of here in the US
of America, right So, and then also to go in
farther with that, someone who is just who's white, who
may say certain things or act a certain way that
and make them a racist because of that, they can

(36:05):
be prejudice. Anyone can be prejudiced. They may have a
preconceived opinion and be prejudiced. Now, if they're contributing to
the system that is resulting in these racial inequalities, then
that's a whole other situation. But then we also again
have discrimination. There's just this unjust treatment that can be

(36:30):
based right off of prejudice. There's unjust treatment of different
categories of people. So again that goes back to all
of the isms. You have sexism, you have colorism, you
have classism. People can discriminate based on these different categories,

(36:55):
and to be honest with you, a lot of it
is pushed off classism. A lot of when I said,
a lot of it, A lot of our division, a
lot of what we're fighting now is really driven by classism,
and then to divide you sprinkling in racism to enforce

(37:17):
those racial inequalities. So we really just need to understand
words as we do use them because it helps us
to be more informed in our own decision and even
better help us to understand who and what we're actually

(37:39):
dealing with altogether. That makes me think about the young
man who was just assassinated. I've been you know, I
took time to kind of look at it myself. I
didn't And this happened a while ago. Believe it happened

(38:00):
sometime last month, the man Charlie Kirk, and I really
didn't know about this young man. I've seen it him before,
pop up on my feed before. I seen it pop
up when I do things on YouTube. May have heard
him said some things, but I just brushed it off,

(38:22):
like okay, whatever, that's I don't know. But when the
situation happened, oh boy, have our social media been inflamed?
Another thing I felt used for division, Another thing used
to distract, Another thing that was used to drive points

(38:43):
home politically, religiously, another thing used. So for myself, I
started to just look a little bit more, not have
forming an opinion one way or another until I look
more right, because a lot of again, because we're incited
by emotions, immediately jump on things because of what we feel.

(39:05):
People on our side is saying again, I could be
red or blue, Blue saying this. Oh, I'm jumping on
it without even looking Redd is saying this, or I'm
jumping on it without even looking into it because my
identity is tied to it. That's my gang. I gotta
throw my sign up, put my flag down, my gang,

(39:25):
say this is what it is. I'm going for. It
doesn't matter. This is the bias I live from. But
someone like me who's not attached to any of that,
I wanted to look what is going on. I seen,
especially that have such high emotions both ways. I said,

(39:46):
what is this? So I you know, looked and from looking, Yeah,
there's a lot of conversations. I'm not even gonna call
them a debate. As someone who has been trained in
legal someone who has debated. Again, that's another thing using
those words. If we're talking about debate in its true sense,

(40:10):
what I've seen him and Candice and some other people
that does it right, Those are not debates. There's things
that are present. There's no no, there was no moderator,
there's no knowledge, true information exchange back in forth, where

(40:34):
you know these topics you got some type of equipped
knowledge on them. Yes, there's some of these college students
who they thought they know this, they thought they know
that some sound, you know, like they did know something,
couldn't quite articulate it. But it's no debate. There's just
these arguments or exchange back and forth of opinions that

(40:57):
individuals have, but no true debate, so to you know,
it's classifyed that. But I seen these conversations that were
going back and forth, and yes, even and listening right,
there was things that were said by him. There's times
he traveled with Candace said by her that I was like, yeah,

(41:18):
that's not quite right, that's kind of skewed. Then it
was things that was said by other people. I'm like, yeah, nope,
you got to study your facts a little bit more
that's not quite right. But it was never anything to
make me feel like less than takeing anything. If anything,
I felt like whatever, I didn't know, let me go

(41:42):
find that out and go research more on that. Now,
I'm not dismissing that the things that we say, especially
when we have huge platforms huge platforms, the things we say,
we have to be very careful because they can harm right,
they can incite hate. The misinformation can have people out there,

(42:03):
going back to the words we just talked about, have
prejudices and discriminate based on misinformation. So don't get me wrong,
there's things I heard I was like, oh yeah, no,
But my first mindset was if there is something wrong,
if there is something and correct dangerous spewing hate, then

(42:29):
instead of just being mad or doing that, okay, I'm
going to counteract that. I'm going to share my platform
to share the opposing facts. I'm going to educate on
another level. I'm going to do these things. I'm not
just going to be mad and say, oh you are

(42:50):
saying this, I'm going to counteract that. But now, the
reason why I bring that up is because when we're
talking about politics, yes, you had individuals like you know
him self, others who are funded to have these big platforms.
And he was young. I don't know if fl people
I mean he was, he was. He was young when

(43:11):
I believe he was in college, although one of his
you know, talking points was about colleges being a hoax.
He was in college at a point, but left college
and was approached to take his Turner Point USA company
to another level by uh supporting or funding a certain

(43:38):
narrative to be shared and possibly in that me watching
different things and his conviction believed those things at that time,
believe some of the things that was shared with him
to teach, really believed it. It's the same thing where

(44:02):
I see other people who are pushing certain narratives in
other areas which I want to I'm gonna touch on
that a little bit when it comes to religion. Right,
whatever you're taught, you think, you truly believe it, and
you push it, push it, push it, but to the
point that.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
You may.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Cause harm or comes off hateful. I've seen that same
thing in so many other ways, when someone is so
passionate or convicted by what they believe is true in
the name of thinking, this is for the better, this
is for change. So I was able to step back
and not be so emotionally charged by what's going on,

(44:44):
and to look at it to say, okay, this is
not new, it's definitely not different. So it's used. It's
used though to divide us. It's not new, it's not different,
but it's relevant right now to pile on again to
divide us. It would be a great opportunity, which some

(45:04):
use it for, is say hey, yes, since these conversations
are coming to light, let me use this to you know,
share other information that is actually true, and I'll talk
about some of that in a second. This is my

(45:24):
chance to say, okay, when somebody talk about this, it's
possibly that, but yeah, we have to stop being so.
We are humans, so we have emotion, and that's fine.
It's just we have to get them in check, allow
them to do what they need to do, and then
we get them in check, and then we need to
take whatever has gotten as emotional once we got it

(45:45):
in check and dissect that and say, okay, what am
I doing with this? How is someone trying to use
me and control me with it? That's just like in
a relationship, you're not gonna be in a relationship someone
controls your emotion in any type of relationship, they're controlling you.
He who controls your emotions controls your life. And so

(46:06):
we have to apply all of those principles in every
area of our life. Personal relationship, business relationship, politics. We're
out here very emotional. We can't be manipulated. And if
you're someone who's in business, if you're someone who's building
a brand or protecting legacy, we have to stop seeing

(46:30):
politics the way we've been seeing politics. It's not someone
else's fight, it's your fight. To take that area of
your life and stop being emotionally charged by it and
be mentally informed. This is your battlefield. Ignoring the system,

(46:53):
trying at the post it on LinkedIn, not having the hard,
just uncomfortable conversations. It just makes you vulnerable, that's what
it does. It just makes you vulnerable. So we need
to have these conversations and not allow events or situations
to just emotionally charge us, and not to just hear

(47:18):
information and process it from a biased perspective. Let's put
down these colors as identity. I'm not telling you you
rock with whatever you want. I'm saying don't let it
become your identity. Let it be something a tool you

(47:40):
use to get to what you want. It's a means
to an end, which means that means, okay, I could
change that tool. It's not working. But don't be so
loyal and sold out to it that it's like it's
a death of you if you walk from it. That
you can't hear any wrong in either. Don't get out

(48:04):
of that game. Course, correction is happening right now. You
have to stay achre don't lose your mind when others
are losing theirs. Reclaim your time, reclaim your mind. This
is what I've done, and I am not for any
any any narrative that gots me locked into ignoring truth

(48:32):
and allowing truth to be spoken to power. And we
know that is the case. If we're just focused on
being divided, anything divided cannot stand. I'm not saying anything
everything has to be a monolith. Unity doesn't mean monolith.
It means that we're moving in the same we're moving
for that same direction and purpose. Like I just talked

(48:53):
about that freedom, that prosperity, we're moving for that. If
we're completely divided, it's going to fall, all right, I'm
gonna go ahead and move on from there because it's
so much. I can have a whole obviously, a whole segment.
I'm just talking about our state of politics right now
and how that is affecting every area of our life.

(49:15):
But I'm not I'm going to go on and move
on to faith, which also can be a whole nother
segment within itself. This is people may feel like this
is even something more personal than politics. Whyle were talking
about this. Politicians keep out of business. What business is politics?
What faith is to it's politics until someone tells you

(49:36):
it's not. It's very convenient to say something is not
something when it doesn't serve the purpose. Politics is business.
Faith is business. When you have schools and systems and
organizations that perpetuate certain things to get you to move

(50:01):
and think a certain way, It's a business. I know
this is the part that makes people uncomfortable, but it
is necessary right now there are It's necessary even more
so now because there are too many people out here
arguing and judging in the name of religion. But what

(50:27):
they're really doing is just hurting people hurting each other.
We're hurting each other. We're not saving souls, as people
will come out here and say we're saving souls. You're
not saving souls by condemning them. And who are you
who are Save your soul? Can we start there? Save

(50:53):
your soul? You may be the only book or information
that someone reads. Start with what they see when they
read you. Not by condemning them. You're just deepening wounds.
That's what we're doing. Entire communities are being torn apart

(51:16):
right now, not by this is the irony. They're not
being torn apart by unbelief. Entire communities are not being
torn by They're being torn apart by the arrogance of belief.

(51:37):
We have people out here just preaching what other people
should believe on not doing the internal work themselves at all.
And I'm someone who who is very inquisitive right as
you'll probably tell someone who digs deep, And I'm going

(51:58):
to ask the questions I remember growing up and I
am so grateful, I really, I am so grateful. Where So,
growing up, I definitely went to church. I went to
Pentecostal Church, Church of God in Christ with family, but
we weren't someone who were like a lot of my
family members who had to be there just completely grow

(52:22):
all the way up in it. Right. There was times
we had to go. We went to the three times
a week. We went to you know, Bible studies, Sunday church,
Wednesday night. We went to all of that. Sometimes when
you don't even leave the church. You went downstairs in
the basement, you ate your food and came back up.
So I had my times we're in and we're out,

(52:44):
but not to the point where it was like every
all like every week. Every week. It was when my
uncle said, okay, it's time for us, we're all going,
or something happened. But and I'm thankful. I am so
grateful that wasn't the case. I think for me, that

(53:04):
really helped me to be spiritually grounded and not religiously indoctrinated.
And that helped me on my journey of seeking because
when I did get exposed to certain things, I asked
a lot of questions, and so growing up I did.
I asked the pastor of the church I was attendant

(53:27):
at the time. I really didn't understand when I was teaching,
because they were very judgmental. If you came the church
and pants, you're going to hell. You are a sinner.
If you are a woman and you're wearing pants, you're
going to hell. You this is not pleasing to God.
And I asked him. I was like, Okay, there's pants

(53:50):
that's made for women. I'm trying to understand the I'm
trying to understand this whole concept of if you're a
woman you wear pants, you're a sinner and you're gonna
go to Hell and you're not pleasing to God when
there's pants made specifically for a woman. And the response

(54:14):
that I received was stop questioning God. Stop questioning God.
And I'm like, no, Pastor, I'm asking you, I'm not
questioning God. I'm asking you to help me understand. Who
is someone who you know, professed to have a great

(54:37):
understanding of God's word. I'm asking you, I'm not questioning God.
But that's where it was literally left. And so I
learned growing up. I heard a multiple times in other situations.
I learned when someone doesn't have an answer and they
get defensive on it is deflected back on you that

(54:59):
you're questioning God. No, there's conversations that I do have
a God, and there's questions that I do present to
the source for sure, because the source says seek and
ye shall find right. We're going by the word that

(55:20):
is read by those who are judging now for me
when we're talking about and like I said, I went
on my spiritual journey in studying because you were supposed
to study, show yourself approved study, and so when I studies,
it wasn't just isolated. So in different phases of my life,

(55:43):
I studied in my spiritual journey differently. You know, the
beginning phase I did, I just studied the Bible, that's
all I knew of. And as I begin to learn more,
I studied other books, studied the Bibles of the Quran,
going through the Baga Vagita, study, just different books. And

(56:06):
in my later phase of studying, like even up to
recent now that I am even more adept in studying
in general understanding research and analysis and studying, my studying
looks different. So rather Bible multiple times, but getting something
different from it each time I read it. Because studying

(56:28):
the Bible, studying just the history of the translations and
transliteration of the Bible especially, we're hearing different things, but
just cross referencing my different studies. So it's just like
with me being an attorney, right, if there's something that's
going on, there's an issue to be solved, you're going
to take the testimonies of different individuals who are saying

(56:50):
they are privy to certain knowledge, and you're going to
cross reference those testimonies. It's the same thing. So I'm
reading stuff in one book and it's just like during
a time of existence where certain things are captured during
different times cross referencing. How does this all, this one
big story tie together these testimonies? There is there any

(57:15):
relationship in here? And yes, I find a lot of relationships.
I'm not getting to all that now. But do we
really study? Are we in silos? Do we understand translations?
Do we look deeper? We're transliterations so.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
That way.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
The information that we think we got, we got to
make sure we have it. I'm just looking at in general.
What comes to my mind is thing about black culture, right,
and this could be any other culture, but socially constructing
thinking of black culture. There's words that we use in
so many different ways. I may say something like I

(57:55):
don't know, give me that butter, and I'm literally talking
about give me the butter, like to put on whatever.
And I may look at something like, oh man, that's butter,
Well it's not butter. That's that's nice, that's sweet. See
I'm using that there. It's not sweet as in taste,

(58:15):
or if we were daven this black culture anything like
I think about Paris Hilton. What should we always should say, Oh,
that's hot, that's hot. She didn't mean if you touch that,
you're going to get burnt or burned. She's talking about
that's hot, that's nice. That's so there's words that were

(58:39):
used in different ways that we have to understand. And
so a lot of times we're told things like going
back to mind. Like I said, my experience, the preacher,
just tell me this, and if I just ran with
that one, I'm questioning God. So let me stop. Two,
I just need to stop wearing pants. That's what God said,

(59:01):
and don't question that or go to hell. Oh my gosh.
But if you fast forward years later, all those people
who were judging in the church and saying this and
saying that wearing pants, there were so many gifts smothered

(59:21):
in the church that I know of because they were
told they cannot exercise in those gifts because that was secular.
God doesn't want it. I've seen so many people people
who judge and then later on they're awakened. They're fine,
their kids are fine, So a lot of times people

(59:51):
are teaching what they don't even understand. They sit in
the pews and allow someone to teach.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Them what.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
They believe, and what they believe was taught to them.
And I'm gonna I made a post about this. I'm
gonna get rid a lot of them who were taught things,
especially if you go all the way back, especially if
we're talking about the black culture, couldn't even read. So
someone taught them what to say, how to preach the sermon,

(01:00:22):
how to say this narrative, taught them what this narrative
is that you're supposed to teach the congregation of people.
So a lot of things were manipulated, manipulated, some willingly
and unknowingly. And that makes me think about I hate

(01:00:47):
to jump around because I I just thought about this.
I wanted to share this because we see this member
I said speaking about the young man who was assassinated,
because that's what that was. Rather we all are or
not with the narrative he was pushing. A lot of
that was taught. They studied those narratives, they studied those

(01:01:07):
talking points, believe them to be true. Was hyped about it,
definitely hyped about. The money. I know both of them
were factors, but they were very zealous about what narrative
they were given to share and thinking, this is what
you need to share the same way these religious people
that I was around growing up, was taught a narrative

(01:01:30):
to share and very zealous about it. This is the
narrative you need to share, and this is how it is,
and this is how you actually respond. And to me,
that was hateful, right to me, that's hate because you're
telling me if I don't do this, I'm going to
some hell. But you can't explain to me more depth

(01:01:51):
on that. You tell me I am a you call
me a name, I'm you're this, center, you're this, you're
wearing pants. It's the same thing. I want to go
back real quick before I move on. I want to
share this with you, speaking of narratives and talking points

(01:02:13):
I was listening to, and I know a lot of
people do not and they're not fond of her either.
I just said her name Candace because they're not fond
of the Tarli Cark, the Candi's all that. That's great,
but this is one thing too. You don't have to
like someone or something in order to educate yourself. You know,
one of the things where a lot of militia does,

(01:02:34):
where people win wars and things, they learn their enemy notes.
They learn it. They don't say, oh I don't like
this or we're not going you know what the government does.
As we're talking about the government, they infiltrate different whatever
they want to take down that infiltrate that, they don't

(01:02:54):
stay away from it. They understand, They get to know it.
They get to understand it in order to take it
down or win that war or whatever it is. So
just a tip in life in general. It's the same
thing like with business, right, you get to know if
you're going to know your strength, your weaknesses, you have

(01:03:15):
to know your competitors.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
You have to know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
You have to be to know, and you have to
understand and listen and learn from a point of to
be able to receive. But so I've been listening to
speaking of narratives and things being pushed and how this
is all the same. I want to share this with you.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
This was.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Let me find it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
This was.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
Just Candice sharing. I guess she was doing a tribute
about and I don't guess she was doing a tribute
about Charlie Kirk when he was assassinated, and one of
the things I listened to in her tribute was just
talking about just this vision Charlie had, right, and this
is all ties in. I know, I got through the
politics and we talked about Charlie, but this ties in

(01:04:06):
now because I was saying then that while we were
upset and angry about this young man spewing whatever he
thought was truth out and we're upset and angry because
of that, I'm saying we all play our roles in this.
We may say succeptable for this and not acceptable for that,

(01:04:27):
but we're all doing the same things and a lot
of it's driven by the same thing. That's why it's
all the business. What he was doing was driven by
business and those who were in the business of pushing
a narrative. It's the same thing with this faith and
I talked about with me talking with the preacher and
what he was taught and what he told me. So

(01:04:48):
I'm gonna share this.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
With you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
See if like a fine.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Hm, where is I think? This is it?

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
This is going to be Cannice just talking about the
vision Charlie had of his company.

Speaker 4 (01:05:33):
See, this is a visionary Charlie was a visionary. If
he could envision it, it was going to happen. He
knew that, I knew that. And what he had envisioned
was for turning Point USA to become the biggest conservative
student organization, not just in the nation, by the way,
but in the world. He kind of squabbled and squibbled
and wrote that his structure is currently a five to

(01:05:56):
one C three and he's sitting there talking to me,
but here's what we can do in the future, and
here's how, and then I'm gonna probably take control of
the RNC. I mean, he's twenty three years old, right,
and he's talking to speaking to me about who's gonna
take over the RNC. The person that he adored the most,
like really, uh, never in a million years do you
think that he was going to meet him? And of
course he did was Rush Limbaugh. He was really raised

(01:06:18):
on Rush Limbaugh, listening to Rush Limbaugh day in and
day out, and he told me through many conversations that
if he could have a show like Rush Limbaugh one day,
he would be very happy. That was I think his
ultimate goal.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
And it happened. I mean, so there you even hearing
her talk about the vision he had. Right. So this
is a young man who's just excited to take his
company big, take his company big. And then you get
these individuals, billionaires, big money makers will say, ooh, you're

(01:06:52):
just the right. Formally, we need to push a narrative
that we have out there, and we'll give you these
things to study and talking points. And they did that too,
because let me let me go to that. They give
you get narratives, talking points. You're studying this stuff and

(01:07:15):
spewing it out there because you think you believe this.
You this is your truth. The same thing for yeah,
faith based individuals who are attacking people. Someone gave you
a narrative, this is your truth. Or you may say
you read, you claim you read, and you study. This
is a truth. You may not understand it translations to

(01:07:37):
the true transliteration. But this is what I think my
truth is and I'm spewing it out there, and it
can come across as hate and not love.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
You.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
Look, you look really cool, Charlie.

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
The reverse of that, obviously was him constantly hammering me
on debates. I mean, Charlie was like, look, you gotta
know the arguments of your opponents backward and forward. I
remember I had note cards like I was in high school,
just just memorizing every statistic and being strengthened by, you know,
just day in and day out. He was just pretending
to be a protester, pretending to be a radical. And

(01:08:16):
he used to always say iron sharpens iron. And we
spent so much time practicing, debating and really thinking through
what our ideas were. Charlie never missed a meeting that
he had. He wouldn't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
He took that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
And so they practiced. You can't get met at individuals
who were given these narratives. They took these notes. They
took the notes of the narratives that they thought were truths.
They studied, they sharpened each other, and they were out
here spewing this stuff that they were paid to spew.

(01:08:52):
And it's the same business because once you are on
the side of really trying real truth. Though, as you
seek and you're giving notes and you study and you
do all this stuff, somewhere truth is going to seep in.
Truth needs no defending. It's going to be there. It's

(01:09:15):
going to pop its head up. For some you would
completely turn your head to it, dismiss it. For some
if your heart truly was in the right place even
though you were giving wrong information. You're gonna be convicted
and you're going to transform. And according to listening to
her tribute, also, that's something that started to happen right

(01:09:36):
there was a truth he thought he stood on, and
these narratives that was giving to them, these talking points
that they studied and prepared to be an autopilot with
no matter who was in front of them speaking, finally
woke up and started seeing some things differently. So listen
to this real quick.

Speaker 4 (01:10:01):
I think, yeah, in the end, Charlie, Charlie was going
through spiritual transformation. I don't think it, I know it.
He was going through a lot and there was a
lot of pressure. And it's hard for me to watch
the people who were pressuring him. I don't know, just
say the things that they're saying, you know. I just
there's something about it that just feels really fake. Feels

(01:10:22):
really fake to me. And they would have allowed him
to lose and wanted him to lose everything for changing
or even slightly modifying an opinion, and then to see
them doing what they're doing today, it's hurtful to me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
It's very hurtful. To me, he started to change and modify,
change and modify these no cards that you're giving, these
talking points that you're given, these narratives that you're giving.
It's over zealous about them. You're sharing them. They're pushing
to you what these site takestions are, how these facts

(01:11:01):
can be substantiated. I'm gonna push this to you here,
and then you start doing your own digging. You start
to study and show yourself approved. And if you come
with the true heart, then you'll start transforming, like I said,
And when you transform, those who wanted to just teach
you a narrative to divide because it's a business will

(01:11:25):
get very angry and turn on you. You heard what
she said, their turn on you. She even went deeper
to share text messages. This happened years earlier, but he
was feeling even throughout, just this discernment throughout that things
may not work out in the end and line up,

(01:11:45):
And it was just kind of eerie for her to share.
Not even that's the wrong way I want to say eerie,
but it was just like confirmation that this is definitely
bigger then with me, it's the eye. But let me
let me share this with you uh, this is something

(01:12:22):
here we go, Yeah, this is it right here? All right,
But I want to share with you. Here is something
that he wrote to her and what he saw foresaw.

(01:12:42):
I should say.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
What I want you guys to know about Charlie is
he also used to dream very vividly, because we traveled
together so much. He would wake up, we would text
and he would tell me about those vivid dreams. And
we talked about a lot of things, as you do
when you get to know somebody. We talked about the
spiritual realm. We talked about religion, our faith, most importantly,

(01:13:12):
what our life's purpose was. And there was this period
in April where Charlie kept insisting to me over and
over again that he was going to die young. In fact,
he told me that Turning Point USA was going to
be the death of him. And I'm going to allow
you to read his words. And it's funny how this

(01:13:32):
came about, because when I was in Wyoming, I went outside.
I was writing, like physically needed to write, to put
pen to paper and to pray, and I was sitting
in misan overlooking the mountains, and right when I concluded
my prayer, I opened my eyes and I saw a
massive bald eagle and it just made me feel at peace.
It's one of those moments where you just are in nature,
you see something beautiful and it makes you feel at peace.

(01:13:55):
And then I felt the need to start going through
messages and conversations between me and Charlie, and sure enough
I stumbled upon many messages of him telling me how
he would die. And I'm going to show you some
of those messages now, a particular set of messages that
were written on April sixth, twenty eighteen, just a couple
of weeks before Kanye tweeted I Love the way kennics

(01:14:17):
Owens thinks, which is relevant because a lot of things
changed after that tweet. And it's relevant because Charlie sense
that something big was about to happen, and I think
that is what the something big was. I also want
to say, obviously, I am not making up these messages, Okay,
turning point. Actually, Mikey McCoy has access to all Charli
Kirk's messages. They can tell you that these ones are real.

(01:14:40):
Here's what he wrote. We were again talking about Kanye.
Charlie wrote to me, You're going to be the Iron
Lady of America. He had such a political vision for me.
I never wanted that sort of a thing. I see
it so freaking clearly. I might be Moses, though I
might not see this whole thing through lmao. If that
is the case, be my David. I said, dude, you
haven't even realized your power yet. You're so young, was

(01:15:01):
what I was thinking. He said, if I tell you
the true prophecy that I know in my gut, it's
really sad, but I hope it's wrong. He went on
to say, anyway, I am not sure if I will
live to see the end of this revolution. I believe
you were the peace that God meant me to meet
that will finish the fight. Since the beginning of TPUSA,

(01:15:24):
I knew in my gut that I might get wiped
out at any time. I cannot explain it, but I
dream about it all the time, like all the time. Anyway,
that's suppressing combo for another time, lmao. I said, that's weird,
more of a fear manifestation than nactualization. He said, I'm
not really afraid of it, but I'm just telling you what.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
I know to be true. So I shared that to
share that even in for him, you know, having these
visions going through tran information during his time of taking

(01:16:05):
these stages and platforms and pushing a narrative that he
was given and studying hard on just those isolated narratives,
some things he started to see and started to transform
his stance on and those who were funding his organization,

(01:16:32):
who gave him millions and millions and millions of dollars,
that no, we cannot change the narrative. We can't change it.
So you have to go on Candice YouTube channel to
look at all the videos. She's got a lot of things.
Whether you like her lover header doesn't matter. Be informed

(01:16:54):
because what's going on in that situation is just a
mirror reflection of what's going on as a whole to
us all as a whole. This division, this manipulation from
politics to your religion. You have your faith. See, I
have my faith. I know that I know that I

(01:17:17):
know for myself that there's a God, a source, a
iteration that I am of. But I also know in
that no one's going to push my narrative to where
in my belief in faith it will come across as
hate to someone else. I can have someone come tell
me they don't believe in anything at all. I love you.

(01:17:39):
I love you. I hope whatever light eye can shine
will shine on you if that is to be. If
someone comes tell me they believe all these other different things, okay,
if we have the core belief of love, the love,
I can have a conversation with you. It's not gonna
be some near or that someone puts on me to

(01:18:03):
spew out to Hey, that's a business. Are we really
doing this out of love? The question is isn't do
you believe? The real question is are you a good
reputation of what you believe? And if not, are you

(01:18:27):
willing to do the work to change that regardless of
the consequences. And my next question would be why are
you gonna make this a question as a statement. Don't
you think or don't think I should say, because I

(01:18:47):
almost ask a question, I'm gonna saying, don't think this
doesn't affect business? So when people say don't post about
religion LinkedIn what's going on, because it absolutely does. When
we're talking about all the hate spewing and things that's
going on and slung because of religion that's affecting people

(01:19:09):
in their business. Your belief system drives how you treat people,
how you lead, how you build, and how you serve.
I will tell you this. I quietly sit back and
watch you on LinkedIn and know who I will not
do business with. You cannot separate the two. I know

(01:19:31):
who I will not do business who will never be
my doctor, my dentist, who I will buy a product from,
I will not. And if you're someone who don't even
own a business, that work. So if you lead a team,

(01:19:51):
you're not separating that. If you think you are, you're
not separating if it comes from such judgmental, from such
a judgmental, hateful place, running a brand, building anything, if
you build anything that's meant to reach people, your mindset,
your morals, and your maturity will show up in these results.

(01:20:14):
We cannot parse it, but it's starting to show. I
was watching Kirk Franklin with a name my mind. I
was watching Kirk Franklin. He has like this King of
Den's show. He does now start off with one single
situation and spun into an attire show where we have

(01:20:34):
different men come having great conversations. And I was watching
one recently where he had Jonathan Majors, who's an actor.
For those who don't know N. L. E. Chappa, who's
an artist, and other people that's on there, and I'm

(01:20:55):
watching it and when it got to the conversation about religion,
and this is why I said, because they talk fucking business. Right,
you have these men sitting here at the table talking
about different things. Whatever pretty much finds its way in
and talking about its business, family, industry, and religion found
its way in. And immediately that started going left. I

(01:21:20):
think that Kirk Franklin said it best when he said
religious trauma. It showed up at that table, there's religious trauma.
A lot of us are seeking something while we're facing trauma.
So we're seeking from a place of being unhealed. Right,

(01:21:44):
Instead of when we seek seek that to heal us,
we take that and make it into more trauma and
more trauma, and we judge. I know NL Chappa has
said he when he was speaking, which caused a lot
of posting to he had spoke about his belief, his

(01:22:05):
takeaway from his studies on who Jesus is, so we
can talk about Yeshua, but our for our purposes, our
known name as Jesus.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
And he was saying, how whatever, I forgot what they
were talking about but he interjected it by saying, you
know what though, he said, I know this is unpopular.
You know, this is going to be an unpopular thought
or belief paraphrase. And he said, but I think a
lot of our issues come from us thinking or worshiping

(01:22:45):
Jesus instead of understanding Jesus as our brother or whatever.
Oh boy, that yeah, that got the table go and
went crazy. And Jonathan looked at him as like, did
you read the Bible? He said, yes, I studied it.
That's what I got it for my Ready, He's like,
go read it again. And immediately people you know, posted

(01:23:06):
on that posted comments that started flooding. Right, so we're
moving from one thing to another, and they're posting, oh,
some taking the side of Jonathan and some explaining and
taking the side of in l In Eli Chappa. But
what was hurt hurtful at least for me just reading

(01:23:27):
was just the attacks and the response. I'm like, you
you all are talking about something that's supposed to be
of love, right, Like, whatever you believe, whatever you take
away above all these things is love. That's what you're reading, right.
This is this, This is Christians talking. This is Christians
coming in talking about this topic because they're speaking obviously

(01:23:53):
about Christianity, and then a lot of them coming in
spewing and I'm like, wait, but in Christianity, I'm you
talking about the principles of love, hope.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
And faith.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
But above all these is love. I don't feel that
anywhere where I'm reading anything, and even in judging them. Right,
So even if we read our word, and that's why
I said study and showing ourselves a proof, and I'm
not going to go on to a sermon, but I
do just want to point out a few things at
least that were my thoughts even with that, because that's

(01:24:24):
bread and that again that affects us. I mean, if
we're looking at just judging first of all, in our
in the Bible, because that's what we're speaking about, is Christianity.
But again, I read again other books, and although there's
some differences and a lot of things, the one thing

(01:24:48):
that is the same across everything I read is the love.
Definitely is the love. And even when I read the Qurans,
I know there was a few people that of you know,
who were Muslim or Islamic faith did post Pharakh sharing
his take on Jesus in response to this. So that's

(01:25:10):
the reason I'm going to bring up Koruran, because even
when I read that, the one thing I did see
is that the Koran does say that you know Jesus,
you're sure was the exalted one, right, was the Exalted.
But what the difference is obviously lie in is what L.
Chapel was talking about God versus not. But even in that,

(01:25:34):
instead of attacking and not just Jonathan, I'm not saying
Jonathan attacking Nli Chop, I'm just saying leaven the response
surrounding that, and then all the arguments that happened in
the comments in the name of religion and the name
of belief, aren't we supposed to accept others who are

(01:25:54):
weak in their faith and don't argue with them about
what you think or what they think is right or wrong?
I mean God for those who are Christians, I mean
read Romans fourteen and one. Read that, don't you know

(01:26:16):
cause your brother to stumble? Right, don't do that at all.
Let's stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in
such a way that you will not cause another believer
to stumble. And that's Romans fourteen and twelve. So let's

(01:26:37):
go read Romans fourteen one to twenty three, and you
all are doing this in the name of a religion.
And that brings me to the point where you have
individuals say, okay, this everybody is talking about religion versus spirituality.
What is all of that even means? We got this
new age stuff where people are talking about religion versus spirituality.

(01:27:05):
And I've had said myself, yes, I consider myself a
very spiritual being, not a religious one, and I have
my definitions of what I meant for that. But I'm
not going to get into Elakisha's opinion on it. I mean,
just again, since we're talking about Christians, just go to
your own word when you study, and in your word,

(01:27:28):
you know, God condemned several times these hypocrites, these religious teachers,
and also says that you know, to these religious teachers,
you skillfully sidestep God's law in order to hold onto
your own tradition. That's what religion. To religiously do something

(01:27:52):
is to do something over and over again. That just
means religiously religion is to practice or do something over
and over and over. And going back to my story,
just being around individuals who were raised in tradition, no answers.
You can't ask questions. You're told something that's passed down

(01:28:14):
and then down and then down. That's tradition, that's religion.
It's systemic, it's systemic. You skillfully side step God's law
in order to hold onto your own tradition. And it

(01:28:35):
gives an example. For instance, Moses gave you the law
from God honor your father and mother, and anyone who
speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.
But you say it is all right for people to
say to their parents, Sorry, I can't help you, for
I have vowed to give to God this what I

(01:29:01):
would have given to you, So sorry, I gotta give
this to God. I can't give this to you. I
vowed to give this to God, not to you. And
in this way, you let them disregard their needy parents.
So the word right here is saying what we're doing now.

(01:29:21):
We are upholding traditional thoughts, mindsets, the way we treat
people in the name of what we say is for God,
but it's for religion. It's for tradition, and we use
that as an excuse to be judgmental and angry. But

(01:29:46):
here it says you have sideste you tell peoples all
right to say or to do the opposite of what
is expected you. You're telling people's all right to do
the opposite of what the light is in you in

(01:30:07):
the name of you, saying I'm doing the opposite because
I'm doing it for God. And it says, so you
cancel the word of God in order to hand down
your own tradition. And it finished off. And this is
only the example among many others. And they're right about that.

(01:30:31):
This is the only exapt because you're this is living
right now, this is only example among many others. You
have put down what you profess you're supposed to be
a living example of in the name of God. You're
judging someone else in the name of it. Whereas, let's

(01:30:55):
juxtapose that, let's compare and contrast. If we're looking at
that's religion to me, right, tradition. So it's my answer,
what's the different All this religion is tradition. It's a systemic,
it's a system. It's a way of doing something over
and over again in spite of But when you talk

(01:31:16):
about spirituality, I think about and let me go to
where I read that at just in case I've got
to even give you that someone coming and say, Okay, where's.

Speaker 3 (01:31:29):
That was?

Speaker 1 (01:31:31):
Mark seven and nine. Now spirituality, no one can know
a person's thought except that person's own spirit, and no
one can know God's thought except God's own spirit. So

(01:31:54):
when you say spiritual, it's a it's a living thing
that you activate within you, that you're an iteration of.
You have a spirit. Religion is a practice, it's habit,
it's habitual. It doesn't have to have a spirit, it
is just a thing you do. Spiritual is you will

(01:32:17):
understand this thing by having God's own spirit. And it
goes on to say, but people who aren't spiritual. It
doesn't say but people who aren't religious, It doesn't say that,
but people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from
God's spirit. It all sounds foolish to them, and they

(01:32:41):
can't understand it. For only those who are spiritual not religious,
can understand what the spirit means. Spirit is a living thing.
It is activated. It is doing, it is being, it
is having, it is becoming. Religion is a practice. It

(01:33:02):
can be an automation. And so when I read a
lot of these comments and I see the attacks I'm
reading in the name of God you're really doing in
the name of your religion or the name of your
habit and your trauma of it. You're not doing it

(01:33:24):
that's not from a spiritual place. And let NL E
Chopping whoever else and me with me reading. I'm not
forcing I'm not forcing my interpretation and prayer for study
on all of my studies on you. I'm giving you
an example of go back and read and study and

(01:33:44):
show yourself approve, and do it from a spiritual place,
not a religious place. Let NL Chopper he got what
he got. Why does he have to go back and
read again so that he can what fall? In tradition
it without anybody. It's already in us. We have this
thing in us that's letting us know something is right

(01:34:07):
and not right. We will suppress it, we will reject it.
Some of us may even fear it. But it's in us.
It's already okay. Going back to the Christians looking reading
the book for even if you had ten thousand others
teach you about Christ, you have only one spiritual, spiritual

(01:34:32):
not religious, spiritual father. And I know some may get
caught up on the patriarchy versus patriarchy. You plug whatever
word you listen, you could chant. You have only one
spiritual God, one spiritual source. The point of this is,
even if you have ten thousand people humans teach you
about something, you only have one source. It's not just

(01:34:58):
about talk. It is a living The Kingdom, the belief
is living, and that shows up in how we actually
treat people, how we actually respond. I mean the anger
and so, like I said, I watch that, I watch

(01:35:19):
how people deal with their beliefs, and that informs me
on who they are and what they do. You can't
parse that out at all. And even like I said,
when people come in.

Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
The name of.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
Faith based I'm saying this, I'm judging you. I'm spewing
hate even though it's supposed to be loved. And they
talk about a hell you're gonna go. I'm doing this
because I don't want you to go to a hell. Well,
it always says. It already says in your word if
you read it, the Kingdom is here right now, and
so in hell right so. But if we're looking at that,

(01:36:04):
even Satan, who you are right preaching against, even Satan
disguises himself as an angel of light. You say you're
coming in light, but you're spewing. Hey, you're spewing all
of the opposite fruits of that you're supposed to bear,

(01:36:27):
and you're saying you're doing this in the light of well,
even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. That's
Second Corinthians eleven and twelve. If you want to go
read that for yourself. And did I give you the

(01:36:49):
other one that I've just read a minute ago. It
is First Corinthians two eleven through fourteen, the one I
just read before about spirituality. But you know, don't say
you're coming as something because that light that you think

(01:37:13):
you're coming at coming as you're spewing the opposite energy.
You're breaking people, which you're breaking yourself, which means for me,
how I take that when people come so angry and
so aggressive on you better believe this or you're gonna
I'm trying to save your life, it means you're broken

(01:37:34):
and there's something that you don't feel complete on because
I didn't even get that first of all, to be
honest with you, when I read when Nli Chapa did
say that, my understanding was the same as well, right,
And I know a lot of people were quoting John
where in the beginning was the word the world was
God and quoted all that. But again, like I said,

(01:37:57):
everything is studying in context. You got to read all
the way, all the way through from me. I understand that,
and I understood that to be what he said, maybe
not in a sense of just a brother, right, but
in a sense of yes, there is a separation. There's
a source that I am created of the image and

(01:38:18):
likeness of, and then there's the living of that being,
that whole living of that that was deposited into a
human to show you what it is. If I see that,
I see it. And since I am it, also, my

(01:38:41):
journey is to strive to look like it, not that
that is it. Like it's like me saying, okay, I
see I see all of the invisible qualities of our
most High God. I'm looking at the stars, the moon,
the sky, and I say, that's God. That is God like,

(01:39:01):
that is rotating on his own. Scientists, no one can
explain it. No one can they try. Now, the Big
Bang didn't explode all the way through. Listen, listen, there's
things that cannot be explained. And those things that cannot
be explained, those qualities that we see I say that
is God. That is God. Will I worship? Will I

(01:39:30):
say I am that iteration reflection of that star or
that moon. No, but I'm saying that is it. And
so it's the same thing as you read. And I'm
not going to go deep into it. However you believe,
you believe. I don't want you to stumb on your
belief as long as you are brought to the core thing,
which is love than all good? Are you? As long

(01:39:53):
as you brought to that core thing? And I tell
people that for me at least, I'm not believing because
of fear. I'm not believing in any anything because you
fear me to do it. That's the same thing. I
go back to the politics. They're manipulating the vulnerabilities of
us in politics, and we're identifying, we're taking on an
identity out of negative energy. It's the same thing with this.

(01:40:16):
I'm not identifying with anything out of a negative energy.
I listen if going back to the Christians being the
word I, if I wasn't given the spirit of fear,
I'm not going to believe consume myself with something out
of fear and fear is two different words. Right, We're
talking about fear. Fear was used a translation meaning love fear,

(01:40:39):
to fear of, to love, to respect, to respect. Then
there's the fear of, you know, this cowardness, this, this trepidation,
that type of thing. I'm not it would be out
of the fear, out of the respect of. But I'm
not believing in something because I'm fearing not to burn
up in a hell. That means one, I'm believing in

(01:41:01):
something from a place, from an energy that is not
meant for me to have. So how am I believing
in something that doesn't align with that energy for me
to have? No One, No one is responding, Oh, I

(01:41:22):
hope you, I hope you get this, writer, I hope
you believe this or whatever people are saying. No one's
responding by saying, I hope because of love. I hope.
So you don't go to hell. You're already in it.
You already operating from a very unhealed place. And my
prayer to you is just to be healed and not

(01:41:44):
judge on all of that. I didn't mean to get
into a her summon, but that is something that has
just bothered me with those that I see spewing that,
especially those who run businesses or have major platforms. We
have to check our energy, we have to check our mind.
Whatever you believe, do so, do it because of love.

(01:42:08):
Do it because you're the iteration and the reflection of
the highest source that you believe in, and allow people
to come in the ways that they come, and you
be that truth. Then if there's any type of converting
that needs to go on for whatever reason, you put

(01:42:30):
yourself in a position to become the condition to be
that vessel to allow that to happen through And that
means we have to just focus on working on self.
That's why for me, I'm in my era of cutting
pushing everything away from as close to me as possible.
That is in opposition of the energy I want to operate,

(01:42:55):
is pushing further out of my circle. And I'm I
will be allowed to be used in every capacity and
aspect of my life. Rather I'm speaking apartment speaking, providing
legal services to be that can do it, to do
the things that needs to be done for those particular individuals.
That's the era I'm in, so all love for all

(01:43:16):
of us, but I had to bring it up as
I'm looking at those type of things that's also coming up.
We need to get straight on that, all right, So
I want to get off that, and I want to
close out the session on economic the economic climate. We
are literally going on almost two hours, so I'm going
to definitely wrap this up, but I wanted to shift

(01:43:37):
the gears here and end it on this note and
talk about the economy because this one definitely hits home
for every one of us. You may have said, Okay,
I don't care about politics, what you should because politics
is and everything that we do. Some of you may say, Okay,
the faith thing doesn't hit me, which is fine, but

(01:43:58):
you you are a living bit. But this one right here,
this economic climate, I don't care what. We're all going
to be affected, our economic climate in the workforce, we're
all going to be affected. And there's so right now

(01:44:19):
we're talking about the most recent. Let's just talk about
the most recent since I talked awhile, I can't even
go through all the stuff I want to go through,
but let's just just talk about the most recent. This
government assistant program, So government shut down things have it's
affecting individuals when there's any type of any type of
government support, and snap benefits is one I've known them

(01:44:44):
to be you know, just the food stamps and all that,
all these so we're talking about this wick anything, unemployment,
just name it. And when too many people hear that,
especially when they hear food stamps, aid or just welfare,

(01:45:06):
whatever words you want to use synonymously, people jump to
one conclusion laziness, irresponsibility, and abuse. They just jump to
that conclusion. Are there some people that may fit in
one of those categories laziness, irresponsibility, or abuse that gets

(01:45:27):
some type of assistance, Absolutely, but it is not synonymous
with it overwhelmingly, so it is not at all. But again,
these narratives go back to we just talked about narratives
being pushed. Assistance does not necessarily equal dependence. Needing help

(01:45:49):
doesn't mean you're not working hard. We don't know what
situations have people have faced. Some of the hard working
people are still barely making ends meat. Can we talk
about the cost of living changes, things that's going on
because of the government, Because we the people are not

(01:46:14):
exercising our democracy to the fullest. We're literally sitting on
that word and allowing ourselves to be controlled and divided. Right,
but people are barely making ends meet and could continue
to go to that trajectory if we focus on again
allowing ourselves to be divided in conversations such as this,

(01:46:37):
saying yeah, take all that stuff away because of these lazy,
irresponsible people who abuse the system. That's not overwhelmingly who
gets the assistance. We got single moms working two jobs, elderly,
we have elderly folks on fixed incomes. We have students

(01:46:57):
that are hustling full time while trying to survive. This
isn't laziness. It is a system built to keep people surviving,
not thriving. Because so the question shouldn't be.

Speaker 4 (01:47:12):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:14):
What type of these people are on it? It's why
so many people have to depend on it? Why, And
it's not for the three reasons that I said. People
may start abusing because they're like, hey, listen, I tried
everything I can possibly think of, and I just can't

(01:47:34):
get a break. It is best for me to even
receive this and try this, because if I try that,
I am not getting anything. I'm poverty, I may be homeless. Listen,
I'm gonna tell you my story for full transparency. I've
been on government assistant assistance in college.

Speaker 3 (01:47:57):
I've been on it.

Speaker 1 (01:47:58):
Me focus definitely, I definitely wasn't lazy at all, was
not trying to use a system in any way. My
mindset was, I have this goal to attain all of
these things. I want my undergraduate degree. I knew I
wanted to at that time thought I wanted to go

(01:48:22):
on to compete professionally in sports. But as I competed
professionally in sports, the more I traveled and competed, I
learned that I was really attracted to the business side
of it and started moving more in that direction. But
I was getting government assistant in college assistance in college,
I couldn't live on campus. I had a daughter. I

(01:48:44):
had to get my get a place. You know. I
wasn't one of the ones that said, okay, and I'm
gonna leave my child here. Not to judge that whoever
doesn't do it, do what works for you, but for
me that wasn't. I could not leave my child. I
also moved from New York State to South Carolina, so
my child was coming with me.

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
I was on it.

Speaker 1 (01:49:09):
So I see, I know the judgment, I know it,
but this is it's not factual. Don't allow these narratives
to be push So despite all the judgment, despite of
what people think, people are on it for I also
know what it taught me. It taught me that you

(01:49:34):
do you stay focused on what you need to stay
focused on. But there's times that you're gonna need all
of the systems that you need to get there. Whether
that assistance is coming from human capital, financial capital, we
all need assistance to get there. And while we're thinking
of these narratives, while we're thinking of this misconception, like

(01:49:57):
I mentioned earlier when I talked about just getting so
angry about these talking points and narratives that people are pushing.
Instead of getting angry, study what their saying and counter
those facts, teach the opposing facts. Right, It's the same
thing with this assistance, the government assistance. I mean, if
you look at the United States Department of Agriculture and

(01:50:24):
you look at the characteristics of snap households, it's not
who these narratives are pushing. It's not lazy people. People
are abusing it. And one thing I'm gonna be completely honest,
I've seen people posts, especially hateful, hateful posts, is that
the assumption is you automatically think black Americans are the
ones that's on it, or illegal immigrants. That's not the case.

(01:50:50):
One definitely not illegal immigrants, because listen, when I got assistance.
If you talk about going through a system, oh boy,
they checking out every checking everything. They didn't even want
my child's father couldn't even be in a picture. Or
I'm not getting any help. So you're saying you forced

(01:51:12):
me to be a single mom because if I even
mentioned my child's father, you say, go figure that out,
and I hear it is I'm in college. I gotta say,
I am so thankful for the case worker I did
have when I was at the University of South Carolina.
She knew about my situation. She knew about my child's

(01:51:32):
father and New York. It was different before I had transferred.
I was in New York and I went to Sunny
Aubany in New York, and I transferred to University of
South Carolina in New York. That was crazy. That that
was crazy, trying to get my child into daycare and
doing all the stuff while I'm in college and a
student and getting a home. It was crazy. But my transferred,

(01:51:54):
you know, my I did try to keep it from
my caseworker. She eventually found out and we had a conference.
She said, you know what, I see something in you
I see something in you. You want so much more.
You're gonna go so much bigger. I'm gonna She helped me.
She did not make it hard for me. And I

(01:52:19):
stay true to my promise. I got what I needed
to get. I got my degree out of all the things,
all the and I eventually got off of the government assistance.
But she's seen it so all of this. Oh, it's
illegal immigrants. You can't get on it. You gotta go

(01:52:40):
through a whole system that ain't happening. They doing checks
and balances. No, no, no, no, no, that's not who's
getting it. And it's not majority blacks Americans at all.
You know who identifies black Americans? Go look at the
United States Department of Agriculture. They have the fiscal rapport up.

(01:53:01):
There's a fiscal report of twenty twenty three. Definitely the
can you guess who majority of individuals who are receiving
government assistants, who are receiving a snap it's white Americans.
It's not black thirty five point four percent, and then
Black Americans twenty five point seven percent. And I don't

(01:53:26):
want to hear the proportionality. There's more, there's more, No,
how many people are receiving it, and then you go
down to Hispanics, and then you go down fifteen percent,
and then Hispanics four, and then Native Americans and you
go down race unknown, you go down. Go read the
statistics for yourself. So stop pushing for something out of
a narrative and out of hate, because we're all going

(01:53:50):
to hurt and not only breaking down the statistics on
racial identity, to break it down just for calls. Like
I said, things happen and we got more people being
laid off on jobs. We got all these layoffs. It's assistance.
That's what is there for overwhelmingly, that's who's using it,

(01:54:14):
those who need the assistance. So to say to cut it,
we're going to hurt all of us businesses everyone. We're
gonna see this economy be impacted bigger than we can imagine.
Stop looking at it from a political bias and let

(01:54:36):
us put that down and look at it and understand
it for what it is. It is a business, and
we can't man those who are going to abuse it.
Just like when I just talked about religion, whoever's gonna
do whatever, let him do it, Focus on you, focus
on you, and we talk about oh well, my dollars

(01:54:57):
are going here. Oh no, our dollars. If we're gonna
be that zealous because it's our dollars going to this, well,
our dollars is being used by the government to go
other places that it shouldn't be outside of the US.
But this is not what that segments for. I'm just saying,
think about what your arguments are and really dissect that

(01:55:17):
and it really just check yourself, because unemployment doesn't discriminate.
Anybody can be for one shift can be one shift,
one layoff, one merger, one business crumbling, one sports injury

(01:55:38):
away from that security being gone. So be careful of
who you mock, who you judge. Let me tell your life.
I have a way of humbling everybody, and that's what
I honestly believe is going on right now. We are
being We're being humbled. But until a lot of us
pay attention to this humbling process purge, I don't know

(01:56:02):
how long we'll go through it's supposed to go out
of it, but I know for me, I wake up,
I'm gonna do my part and I'm gonna use again
like I did now this platform. So the real flex
isn't pretending you're better than someone in need. All this
stuff that's going now, No, let's not pretend we're better
than someone in need, because, like I said, you could
be one step away from that. It's all of us

(01:56:24):
creating a system so fewer people need the help in
the first place. If you're a business owner or a
leader acts yourself, are you creating opportunity? I know I do.
I bring people in any way that I can to
have them do different things for my companies, and I
have an even bigger vision. Are you valuing your workforce?

(01:56:46):
Are you building so people can move forward and not
just get buy or are we all sitting and judging?
Are we all sitting and buying into narratives that is
causing division and that is mentally breaking us down, that
is spiritually breaking us down, that is emotionally breaking us down.

(01:57:14):
To show up as our best selves, we have to
start rethinking all of these things. We covered a lot,
a lot today and none of it was surface level. Right.
I went as deep as I could within the time
constraints that I've had, and I already pushed that because

(01:57:36):
I know it as as adults, boy, we have a
very short attention span.

Speaker 3 (01:57:47):
But it is.

Speaker 1 (01:57:50):
A this moment that we're in right now, and it's
too critical for just shot conversation. So I know I
went a while, but it's just too critical, or mind you,
I went a while without going as deep as I
could in each one. In Section A, we definitely confronted

(01:58:12):
the political climate, not just left versus right, but power
versus people. That's why I hope we got from that
power versus people, And yes, we can talk about that
on every platform. It is a part of everything that
we do. We talk about and we need to expose
how the vision is orchestrated and distraction is used to

(01:58:32):
maintain control. And we cannot elevate in our own businesses
and our own talent and our own gifts as long
as we keep subscribing to that narrative. All red is
not for all one group, and all blue is not
all for one group. They are birds of a feather,

(01:58:55):
they fly together. Matter of fact, they're feathers. Like I
said earlier on the same bird, they just communicated differently.
But we don't need to focus on that. We just
need to focus on what is being communicated, what is
it our best interest, and what can we do to
change that? And not just at the high level, get
on the ground speaking of which November fourth vote and

(01:59:19):
also not just vote right, because we put these people
stand up and say you're not just making these decisions.
We learned we know when to uh not protests, but
we pulled back. We do speak up, and we make
it hard when we don't like something. When they pulled

(01:59:39):
uh who was that they pulled off the air? Was
that Jimmy Kimmel? Somebody pulled off the air? Everybody they
spoke what they this is for them, freedom of speech.
We're not letting this happen. And it was protest done.
I guess in that way of I'm pulling my dollars
away from here or I'm not watching that. We know

(01:59:59):
when to make it known what we want collectively, So
the question is what do we want?

Speaker 4 (02:00:06):
Then?

Speaker 1 (02:00:08):
Is it not bothering us truly? Because if it is,
we know what we need to do, and we need
to stop buying into those biases. We need to stop
buying too those narratives and having those biases and thinking
from a biased platform. That's what's going to always keep
us down as a whole as a people, as us

(02:00:28):
as the us of a whatever color you are, and
in section B, we got a little more personal to
talk about the spiritual, because who you show up, your energy,
your spiritual your linemen. Don't care what you believe, but
don't let that make you a hateful person. Whatever you believe,

(02:00:52):
do not do that in the name of love. You're
doing it in the name of spirituality. I don't care
if if you're Muslim and you're doing this thing that
you believe you're doing for Allah, if it's out of hate,
it's hate. It's because you're doing it out of tradition,
not out of spirituality. If you're a Christian and you're

(02:01:17):
judging someone for what they say or what they're doing,
you're telling them you're doing that because they're going to hell.
You're going to hell, and you're doing that out of fear,
not fear, respect, fear, trepidation, scared, instead of out of healing,
out of spirituality, out of operating in the essence from
what you are created. Do it out of love. Be

(02:01:40):
the book, be the testimony, be the example that convert
someone just being in your presence. We challenge that in
section B the way faith is performed but not embodied,
And I asked, are you a reflection of what you
say you believe. Start with you first. Don't spew your

(02:02:04):
insecurities and your frustrations of what you think you can't
be that someone has told you you needed to be
onto someone else. And lastly, in section six, we peel
back this whole stigma around assistance government assistance, especially snap
as we're talking about it, and expose how fragile this
empointment really can be. Right, we put that on front street.

(02:02:28):
And I'm not just talking about employment working for someone.
I'm talking about whatever industry you're in, and however you're
operator can change in a minute where you need assistance.
Let's remind ourselves that survival isn't the goal. Transformation is
and it's gonna take all of us together. At all
of these areas, across politics, across faith, and economy, the

(02:02:54):
common thread is ownership, owning you, owning, ownership, accountability, owning
your mind, owning who you are in your space in place.
And then that ownership can you out to other ownership
that you may want, Ownership of our narratives, of our
power and the ability to evolve, lead and rise. Like

(02:03:16):
I said, this isn't just about just staying woke, right,
use that word it's not just woke because people water
that down right, we better be awake, we better not
sleep at all because we've been sleeping. But it's about
staying aware so that we can get free and stay
in purpose. So thank you HW for tuning in to

(02:03:43):
another segment of Seek Elevation. This is what it's about.
This is what, this is what this one I want is.
I want you to stay bold, stay honest, and I
want you to keep building. This what the this is
what that one on want is gonna call for in
different topics, but I wanted to open up with that
one on the bed, So thank you so much for
tuning in to this what I deem as a powerful,

(02:04:08):
necessary conversation. And remember, as I always say, the more
you know, the more you grow, the more you learn,
the more you can earn. But when you share, you
show care. So please feel free to share this segment
that's on all major streaming platforms and we'll be posted
on YouTube. Don't keep this knowledge to yourself, spread the wisdom,

(02:04:31):
sit on it tag a friend. But let's continue to
elevate together and til next time, keep shining, keep striving,
keep growing, and most importantly, keep seeking elevation. Peace and

(02:04:52):
progress
