You know what time it is.

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:10.560
Curly under Construction. I am your

4
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.720
Welcome, Welcome. It's good to
have you back here with us, cousins

5
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:18.440
and Ken folks. I have a
great show for you today, and we're

6
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:24.399
gonna just We're not gonna pause.
We're not gonna get into any preliminary liloquies

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.199
or anything of that particular nature.
We're gonna jump right on into it now.

8
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:34.679
As most of you know, the
month of May it's mental health awareness

9
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.359
months. Now, you all know
that this is a topic that is nearing

10
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.719
dear in my heart. This is
a topic that you and I have had

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.880
a discussion on before. We're having
another discussion right now. This is part

12
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.119
one of two, right, this
is part one of two. This is

13
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.759
going to be a two part episode. But we're gonna delve in. We're

14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:01:00.799
gonna talk about we're going to get
into all the little idiosyncracies dealing with mental

15
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.760
health awareness. Now, you know
as well as I do, cousins,

16
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.840
a Ken folks, especially those of
you who are of Generation X, who

17
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:15.680
are of my generation, you know
that as well as I do that anything

18
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.920
dealing with mental health awareness or any
type of mental illness, mental awareness,

19
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:29.560
mental anything dealing with denner with the
mind. We are told or raised coming

20
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:36.079
up that that is something that isn't
spoken of. That is something that is

21
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.879
pushed under the table, pushed under
the rugs, so to speak. That

22
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.439
is something that you were told that, hey, ain't nothing wrong with me,

23
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.920
I'm not crazy. Or if you're
going to see a therapist, ah,

24
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.079
man, you they're gonna put you
in the crazy house. Or if

25
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.959
you had was dealing with anything you
were told hey, especially as a black

26
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.959
mail, you would say, hey, you're a man. You ain't supposed

27
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:07.120
to show no type of weakness.
You know, beat yourself on your chest

28
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:14.039
and you push that down and you
just keep pushing through it. We'll pushing

29
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.919
through it. Isn't always easy going
forward, isn't always easy. Dealing with

30
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:24.039
it isn't always easy. Taking it
and put it in it on the back

31
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.159
burner isn't always easy. Taking it
and putting it in a little box in

32
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.840
the back of your mind with the
lock on. It isn't always easy because

33
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.319
you can only put so much into
that box. You can only push that

34
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:45.120
down so far. You can only
push so much into the back of your

35
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:52.479
mind until at some point it's going
to come out. You all know,

36
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.039
just as well as I do.
There's an old saying pressure busts a pipe.

37
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.080
Well, the same thing goes with
your mental wellness. You can only

38
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:10.080
take so much trauma, so much
hurt, so much pain, so much

39
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:17.400
sadness, so much of anything that
you deal with that deals with you mentally

40
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.599
and emotionally, and push it down, lock it up to the back of

41
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:30.400
your mind and whatever the case may
be, until it comes out. And

42
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.039
a lot of times it doesn't come
out in a good way, and sometimes

43
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.000
it can affect you in the long
run, but that's the way it's coming

44
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:44.280
out, because see, those particular
things and dealing with mental wellness can come

45
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:50.719
out so wrong. Like we've talked
about before, cousins and kenfolks, when

46
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.159
things go wrong with your eyes,
what do you go see? You go

47
00:03:53.240 --> 00:04:00.439
see an optomologists, ophthalmologists, I'm
sorry. When things go wrong with your

48
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.240
ears, or your nose or your
throat, you go see an ear nose

49
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.759
and throat doctor. Your body itself, you go see your doctor. You're

50
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:12.759
a physician. Things go wrong with
your car, you go see a mechanic

51
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:21.519
where things aren't too right with your
mind and your emotions, It's okay to

52
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:29.319
go see a therapist, someone that
you can talk to about that who can

53
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:33.199
help garner and gather and give you
the tools that you need to be able

54
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:40.839
to walk through those things. It's
okay to do. So it's okay for

55
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.079
us to ask for help. We're
so hell bent on this to society,

56
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.079
to saying that we've done everything on
our own and we pull ourselves up from

57
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:54.759
our bootstraps. And I'm the only
one who did this. But nobody does

58
00:04:54.879 --> 00:05:01.720
anything in this world without help.
No one, regardless if whatever it is,

59
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.800
if whatever you set out to achieve
you do, or whatever the case

60
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:11.480
may be. No one, and
I mean no one can do or do

61
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.839
anything in this world without some kind
of help. And we all need it,

62
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.360
whether we want to admit it to
ourselves or not. But that's the

63
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:27.199
first thing. We have to be
able to admit it to ourselves that we

64
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:36.240
need help. We do, we
do. We can't be so blind or

65
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:44.240
so wanted to put up with things
of the status quo just to keep going.

66
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.240
It's nothing wrong. We keep going
and keep pushing forward. But you

67
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.920
have to know when your body and
your mind is telling you something's not right,

68
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.399
and we need to be able to
deal with this because it comes out

69
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:00.240
so wrong, it comes out in
a negative way, or it can even

70
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.759
goes as far as affecting you physically. Yes, cousins and king folks,

71
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:13.160
you can deal with so much mentally
and emotionally until it would literally make you

72
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.920
physically ill. I'm not telling you
what someone just told me, Cousins of

73
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.000
king folks. I'm i'm I'm i'm
a i'm a I'm a witness to that.

74
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:28.000
I've been through that it's happened to
me, and that is a scary,

75
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.639
scary thing. Cousins and kin folks. I'm here to tell you it

76
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:42.879
is this other saying that I'm about
to bring up. It also may sound

77
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:51.959
cliche, but it holds true.
It's okay not to be okay. You

78
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.319
have to be okay with knowing that
and and and and admit it to yourself

79
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.519
that hey, I'm not feeling today, I'm not having it a good day

80
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:08.519
today at all. You have to
be able to do that and understand that

81
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.879
you're not okay and take the time
or do what you need to help you

82
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.279
deal with that in a positive manner, get through with get through it so

83
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:25.199
that you can be able to move
forward without it affecting you in the long

84
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.600
run or going forward, or affects
you even more than it is at that

85
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:38.040
particular point. Because I'm here to
to tell you depression is real. Depression

86
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:44.000
is real. We all can go
through any form of depression. It doesn't

87
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:51.199
have to be lined up with being
bipolar or paranoid, schizophrenic, or anything

88
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:56.079
of those particular nature. You know, those people just have that that do

89
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:01.319
suffer with those particular disorders. You
know, it's a real thing. And

90
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:07.000
for those and I applaud those who
know that and who set out to do

91
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.040
what they need to do to get
help with that and ongoing help with that

92
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.199
so they can live and function and
have a productive life each and every day.

93
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.160
So my head goes off to all
of my our cousins and ken folks

94
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.480
who deal with those disorders each and
every day. And I'm not gonna say

95
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.000
sickness. I'm not saying sickness.
I say disorders because say it is a

96
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:35.559
disorder, but depression, it's also
a disorder, and it's very real.

97
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:43.360
Cousins and ken folks, It is
very real. I can just really just

98
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.960
sitting and thinking back, you know, and being transparent with our cousins and

99
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.840
kin folks, which you know I
try to always do. I can think

100
00:08:52.919 --> 00:09:01.559
back to three key points in my
life where I know I dealt with depression,

101
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.159
that I was in a state of
depression, but I didn't realize it

102
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:13.799
at that particular time. The first
time when I was nine years old,

103
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.559
when I had an accident in front
of my grandmother's home outside playing with my

104
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.440
cousins and we were playing tag and
I was pushed into a ditch full of

105
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:35.919
broken beer bottle glass and I'm not
going to go into all of the gory

106
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.159
details, but let's just say that
was a life and death situation. I'm

107
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.240
still here. God chose to bring
me through that and to heal me,

108
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:54.440
and I'm so thankful for it.
But the aftermath after that was what happened

109
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.840
to me. It played back and
forth in my mind because that was a

110
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.159
trauma I didn't expect. Then again, I'm nine years old, I don't

111
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.240
know how to deal with the emotions
of it. And then on top of

112
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.320
that, I'm out of school for
the rest of the school year. Because

113
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.559
this happened during spring break, so
I'm out of school the rest of my

114
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:18.200
school year. And I enjoyed going
to school at that particular time, and

115
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.320
I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't
go outside with my friends. And when

116
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.200
you know, those few friends that
my mom did let come see me,

117
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.519
they couldn't be there along because my
mom was afraid that as most boys like

118
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.639
me were, you know, we
were rough and tumble boys, you know,

119
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.519
we you know, want to start
horse playing and and and so forth

120
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.879
and whatnot. And my mom was
afraid that that I get hurt again.

121
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:48.120
So I was isolated, and I
didn't know how to deal with it,

122
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:54.120
you know, although I had a
TV in Maroon, video game system,

123
00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:05.799
books, but I still didn't feel
like myself the second time, the second

124
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:13.840
situation that I dealt with, I'm
gonna come back to that one that a

125
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.279
later time. I'm gonna save that
one for for part two. So y'all,

126
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.120
y'all bear with me Cousin's again,
folks. I, I uh,

127
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.480
it's a it's a hard one and
I'm gonna talk to you all about it,

128
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.000
but I'm gonna save that one for
part two. If y'all okay with

129
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.039
it. If y'all work with me, if y'all y'alls hanging out with me,

130
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.320
cousin the kid, I promise you
I'm going to to bring you in

131
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.279
on that one. Just let me
look back to that one. Okay.

132
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.759
So I'm gonna make this next one
part the second one. So the next

133
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.039
one was I found out I doubt
what was dealing with depression was after the

134
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:54.639
loss of my mother. I had
a three year stretch of things that I

135
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.840
had dealt with that with each were
life changing things, but all three of

136
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.080
it. But this was the last. This was the straw for me that

137
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.840
broke the camels back. This was
the things that I didn't even realize that

138
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.240
took me over that edge, you
know, in my mental in my mental

139
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:20.480
health. And it took a friend, a really good friend, to say,

140
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:26.480
hey, you're not yourself. I'm
like, what are you talking about.

141
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.360
They're like, you're not you.
I'm like, yes, i am.

142
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.480
I'm still being I mean, you
know, I'm laughing, I joke

143
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.039
all the time. I'm still doing
everything that I was doing. But no,

144
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.320
you may be doing that and I
can see it, but it's not

145
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:50.519
in your eyes. You laugh,
you smile, you joke, but there

146
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.039
is no joy in your eyes.
And I've known you long enough to know

147
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.639
that you're not you. I think
you may need to go talk with someone.

148
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.120
I'm like, Oh, you just
tripp I don't want to hear that

149
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.879
mess. You you tripping. But
the more I thought about what they said,

150
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.600
the more I realized it made sense
because I really didn't feel like myself.

151
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.919
I really didn't at all. Cousins
again, folks, and I needed

152
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.960
to be able to deal with all
of the different emotions and everything that I

153
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:35.679
was dealing with because I really had
no direction at that time. I didn't

154
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.559
realize it. I was still working. We're in the middle of the pandemic

155
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.960
during this period, during this time, and I'm still working and everything.

156
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:50.480
But I mean free fall and didn't
even realize it. I mean free fall

157
00:13:50.000 --> 00:14:01.399
mentally and emotionally. So I'm grateful
for that good friend who pointed that out

158
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.960
to me and got me to take
a hard look at me, because then

159
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:15.480
I was able to move forward and
find my wonderful therapist. But that's only

160
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:22.200
a part of it. But you
know, but I talked to a couple

161
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.039
of different ones, but then I
found one that just seemed to settle with

162
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.279
me in my spirit, with me
that seemed to be a good fit for

163
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.360
me. And the more I talk
with them, the more it I felt

164
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:45.919
comfortable to where I was able to
develop that patient doctor bond with and they

165
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.240
began to help give me the tools
to need to what I needed to deal

166
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.519
with the current trauma and pain that
I was dealing with at that time,

167
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:03.919
and then some past ones that I
hadn't dealt with at all. And that's

168
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:11.399
very important, cousins and ken folks. We cannot continue to allow past traumas

169
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:18.759
to dictate our present and our future. We can't. We can't those traumas

170
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:26.879
from our childhood or even early adulthood
can continue to stay with us, to

171
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:33.080
linger at us, to fester like
poison until it will find a place to

172
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.320
destroy us, you know, and
destroy what relationships we have or we're building

173
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:45.480
on whatnot, because they can and
we not even realize it, and we're

174
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:52.480
not even realize but that's the catalyst
of it. We have to take the

175
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.919
time, we have to take the
approach of being able to take care of

176
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:07.039
our mental wellness and and to uh
help us help ourselves. We have to

177
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.919
be able to do this it's this. This is not a game, y'all.

178
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.159
Y'all know me, cousins. This
is again, this is a topic

179
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.279
that's near and dear to my heart, cousins and can folks. We have

180
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:26.919
to take the time to ensure and
and make sure that we take care of

181
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:37.759
our mental health without your with without
the brain, Without the brain, everything

182
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:42.960
else and the body falters, they
say, the hardest, the most important

183
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.159
organ. But the heart gets orders
from the brain. So we have to

184
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:53.759
be able to take care of that. We have to be able to handle

185
00:16:53.799 --> 00:17:03.640
that. We have to be able
to talk with someone, get with someone

186
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:10.960
or someone's who will help us understand
these things and who will help give us

187
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:18.000
the tools that we need to be
able to deal with those traumas, that

188
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.960
hurt, that sadness, that pain, and to be able to move past

189
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:32.200
it and to be able to function
in everyday life. I want you all

190
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.799
to live a life abundantly you deserve, that you deserve to do so,

191
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.759
I want you to be able to
do so. So this month, this

192
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.920
is that's what this mone is about. It's an everyday thing, but this

193
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.799
moneth is bringing or help bringing awareness
to it. This money has helped to

194
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:59.200
bring awareness to that if you know
someone cousins and ken folks that it is

195
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:06.160
dealing with any type of mental wellness
and mental health issues or some type of

196
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:11.039
depression, or they've even had some
type of recent trauma or trauma that you

197
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:18.759
may know of. Help them to
know, hey, it's okay not to

198
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.640
be okay, it's okay if you
have a bad day. It's okay if

199
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.440
something's going on, but hey,
you need to talk with someone about it.

200
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.880
Encourage them to do so every chance
you get, not saying that you're

201
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.519
harboring on it, but just encourage
them to do so. Let them know

202
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.759
that you love them, that you're
here for them if they need to talk,

203
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.920
if they need to hug or whatever. Because even on top of that

204
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:45.559
and top of seeing someone and on
top of what you're you know, you're

205
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:49.839
doing what you can to help them, you also have to be that support

206
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:57.359
system for them because they need that. Be that support system because they're going

207
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:03.160
to need that during this period of
time, and that's what help's gonna help

208
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.799
them get through that. That's what's
going to help them move forward into healing.

209
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:14.559
Yeah, that's what it's going to
help them move forward into healing and

210
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:21.680
becoming a healed individual. There are
a lot of resources out there online.

211
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.799
If you have insurance, your insurance, you know, through your job and

212
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.559
everything. I'm sure your insurance covers
UH you being able to go talk to

213
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:38.400
a therapist and mental wellness and mental
health counseling and whatnot. It's available.

214
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:48.839
It's out there. But let's stop
shunning those who have UH are going through

215
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:59.720
a mental health crisis or having a
mental health UH setback, or going through

216
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:08.920
a to help trying to figure it
out. Don't demean them, don't make

217
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:17.400
fun of them, help them,
encourage them, uplift them, support them,

218
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.759
because that is what we do as
a community. That is what we

219
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:30.079
do as cousins and kinfolks. That
is what we do when we're currently under

220
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:38.440
construction. May first through thirty first
is Mental Health Awareness Month. Cousins and

221
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:48.480
kin folks, take the time to
take care of your mental wellness. This

222
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:53.079
is part one of two Cousins a
kin Folks. So Part two is coming

223
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.559
very soon, so be on the
lookout for it. But this is part

224
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.799
one of two Mental Health Aware.
It's my cousins and king folks. Let's

225
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.880
be there for each other. Let's
encourage each other let's uplift each other.

226
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.319
Let's be there. And if you're
going through anything right down, there are

227
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.480
tools available. Reach out and try
to find you a therapist. Reach out

228
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.599
to someone that you love and let
them know maybe they can help you.

229
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:25.880
Reach out to if you you know, maybe to your pastor you know from

230
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:29.440
your church home that they make and
help counsel you. Or find you a

231
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.039
great therapist who can help. But
don't sit there and suffer in silence,

232
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.279
cousins and kin folks, or try
to do what we were taught to do

233
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.640
as kids or back then, or
do what our parents did, and just

234
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.759
take that and push it down and
push to the back of your mind and

235
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.359
try to push for it through it
because it's not good. It's not gonna

236
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:53.960
come out good. It's not gonna
come out like you think. It's gonna

237
00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:02.319
damage us even further than we already
are. It's time for healing. It's

238
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:10.279
time for healing. It's time for
healing. This is part one of two.

239
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.359

I apologize about missing up cousins the King,

250
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.319
folks. I am very passionate about
this. You know that this topic

is very near and dear to me, and I'm very serious about it because

I want you all healed. I
want you all healthy because you all deserved

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:25.279
to be so. You all deserve
to live happy, healthy lives and not

254
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:32.720
continue to deal with the hurt,
the trauma and the pain from past or

current traumas or situations. I'm your
cousin, and I love you, and

other. I'm gonna get on the body

258
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.240
It takes a village for us to
do this thing and build this thing.

259

And you are all my village,
and we're gonna continue to build this

260
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.799
thing. You were not together,
step by step, one brick at a

00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:02.880

you all Friday, Cousins, the kin

folks. I love you all.
Be good to each other, love each
