0:59
B, who do we have in the studio?
1:01
We have the students from Parenting for
1:04
Liberation.
1:05
Uhhuh.
1:05
And they went through our podcast boot
1:08
camp. They learned how to uh produce
1:12
and host podcasts. And all of them did
1:16
such an amazing job. All their little
1:19
personalities. But we hope their
1:21
personalities come out today on the
1:23
radio. But they did an excellent job. So
1:27
hand hand claps for the the crew.
1:30
All right, man. Parenting for
1:32
liberation.
1:33
Amazing parents that showed up today
1:35
with their children, which I think is
1:38
amazing under support your kids. I'm a
1:40
father. Uh can we talk to parenting for
1:43
liberation? Who can we got? Ivory. Who?
1:44
Um Ivory's here.
1:46
Ivory.
1:46
Hi.
1:47
How you doing, Ivory?
1:48
I'm great. I'm I'm thrilled. I'm
1:50
overwhelmed. Um, it's amazing to be
1:52
here. Thank you for having us.
1:53
Absolutely. Welcome to Sirius XM. What
1:56
is Parenting for Liberation all about?
1:58
Thanks for asking. Um, Parenting for
2:00
Liberation is a nonprofit organization
2:02
that was established 10 years ago this
2:04
year by Trina Green with the purpose of
2:08
helping parents, black parents, black
2:10
families disrupt intergenerational
2:13
violence by learning empowered
2:16
uh, discipline uh, loving discipline
2:18
oriented type of parenting practices and
2:20
fostering community to um, allow for us
2:23
to heal, for us to find joy, and for us
2:26
to address trauma that has that we've
2:28
experienced in in our families and in
2:30
our communities.
2:31
What kind of things do you do you
2:33
experience from the students that run
2:34
through your program? In what ways are
2:36
you able to communicate with them and
2:38
find out what's going on in their hearts
2:39
and minds?
2:40
Yeah, that's an excellent question and
2:41
it's interesting that this podcast camp
2:44
emerged because most of the
2:46
organization's life has been focused on
2:48
on parents,
2:50
hence parenting for liberation. But
2:52
through the course of a family retreat
2:54
that we have um for the last few years
2:58
um that um is called the Strong
3:00
African-American Families Program, we
3:02
recognize that we have youth who have a
3:04
voice, who have opinions, who um we want
3:07
to empower to be the next generation of
3:10
activists and uh journalists and
3:14
executive directors of nonprofit
3:15
organizations that are going to help
3:17
move our community forward. So the way
3:19
that we um learn what they care about,
3:22
what they're focused on is by having
3:24
them have discussions during our retreat
3:26
and then also through a survey. And then
3:29
they are very vocal in general. So they
3:31
told us a lot of their different
3:32
opinions. Um and that's how we found out
3:35
that they would be interested in in
3:36
having a podcast camp.
3:38
Y'all want a podcast, huh? I like that,
3:41
man. So let's do this. That's my co-host
3:44
right there. Her name is Heather B. Um
3:47
hi. You see these beautiful people on
3:50
that monitor, on that TV monitor.
3:52
They're in our New York studios right
3:53
now. So, they're in New York right now.
3:56
The guy with the with the beautiful
3:58
chain on the big dookie rope, that's
4:01
Mike Muse right there.
4:03
Hello, young people. It's so good to
4:04
meet you and I'm so excited for the work
4:06
that you guys are doing. Really amazing.
4:09
Okay. And uh the the lovely person
4:11
sitting next to him, she goes by the
4:13
name of Tracy G.
4:15
Hey y'all. So good to see you guys on
4:17
the screen to have you guys on the mic.
4:19
This is incredible work that you are
4:21
participating in. We're no longer
4:24
passing down generational trauma.
4:26
Generational treasure. That's what we
4:28
have in front of us.
4:29
That's right.
4:30
Wow. Okay.
4:31
So, what we're going to do is we're
4:33
going to get to know some of the
4:34
students that have come through this
4:36
program. And I want to open up the phone
4:39
lines. If you're tuned in right now, the
4:41
they range from what ages right now?
4:43
from ages
4:44
10 to 16.
4:46
10 to 16.
4:47
17.
4:48
17. Okay. 10 to 17. Citizens, we need
4:51
your help. Get to know our youth. Get to
4:54
know these young folks. Call them up and
4:56
ask them any questions. These are the
4:58
future broadcasters of today. 8887423.
5:03
And they are not shy. I put that out
5:05
there. Okay. Good. 8887423345.
5:09
I'm going to let Tracy
5:11
Oh.
5:13
All right. Well, hold up. Hold up. Pull
5:14
back. Pull back. We gonna go straight to
5:16
it. I want to go straight to it. I want
5:17
to start with um Tracy G and Mike Muse
5:20
to ask them some lovely questions. We
5:22
have two people with three people with
5:24
headphones on right now. Let's start
5:26
with the young lady. You want to do
5:27
that, Tracy?
5:28
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Okay.
5:30
Well, the first thing I would love to
5:32
address you by your age, your name,
5:34
excuse me, as well as your age. So, tell
5:37
us both of that and a fun fact.
5:40
Hi, I'm Lindy. I'm 12. And fun fact
5:44
about me, gotta think about that. Um,
5:48
I performed in the King Parade last
5:50
year.
5:52
Oh my goodness.
5:54
Okay. So, I have an obvious follow-up
5:58
question for you, Lindy. How did you
6:00
perform? And then what was your
6:02
experience like?
6:04
I was on the drill team at my school and
6:07
um it was fun. It was definitely a lot
6:11
of work to build up to it, but it was
6:14
worth it. It
6:16
was worth it. Okay.
6:17
Love.
6:18
All right. Um, and so let me ask you
6:20
this. What are some of your personal
6:21
goals that you set for yourself?
6:23
Um, I want to become a better dancer. I
6:27
can already dance pretty well, but
6:29
there's some things I want to improve on
6:32
as well as
6:34
um
6:36
probably finding more hobbies outside of
6:38
like being on my iPad or my phone
6:42
and um
6:45
going outside more and like making plans
6:49
with friends because I barely go out
6:50
with my friends. So that would probably
6:53
be another one.
6:54
Wow.
6:54
Can I say something to you? Wend is
6:56
Wendy.
6:57
Lindy.
6:57
Lindy, you're looking at me. Heather,
6:59
I'm over here.
6:59
Oh,
7:00
you I know it gets confusing. Lindy, you
7:03
have such beautiful eyes.
7:05
Thank you.
7:05
And a beautiful speaking voice. And I
7:07
would like to encourage you to look at
7:09
people when you speak.
7:10
Okay.
7:11
Okay. Because you have such beautiful
7:13
eyes and a a voice that people would
7:15
listen to. The moment you speak, you
7:18
would have everyone's attention. So the
7:20
same way you're looking at me when you
7:22
speak, do that with everyone. Don't gaze
7:24
off into the sunset and looking over and
7:27
looking around because it will appear
7:29
that you're unsure about what you're
7:31
saying. Okay? So, look people in the
7:34
eyes because you have beautiful eyes
7:35
already, Lindy. Use that to your
7:37
advantage and a great smile as well.
7:39
Okay,
7:40
let's give it up for Lindy. Give her a
7:41
big round of applause. All right, Lindy,
7:44
you should hand those headphones past
7:46
those. And then and then Mike Muse, we
7:48
got this amazing young man who was so
7:50
impressive when I met him um a few
7:54
months back when I got a chance to sit
7:56
in a a discussion along with Tavis
7:58
Smiley and Dominique Drima and you know
8:01
and these beautiful kids asked us a lot
8:04
of questions. Say hi to Mike Muse, bro.
8:06
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
8:09
So good to meet you my guy. I'm going to
8:11
do the same thing. Tracy, what grade are
8:13
you in? And tell me some of the things
8:15
you're interested in before I ask you my
8:16
question.
8:18
Um, I'm in the ninth grade. I'm just
8:20
starting. And, um, a few things I'm
8:24
interested in is um,
8:27
uh, I'd say
8:29
music and art. Yeah, that's that's two
8:33
main things.
8:34
Nice. I love it. Well, now that you're
8:36
interested in podcasting, what are some
8:39
of the topics that you would like to
8:41
talk about or what are some of the
8:43
topics that you have already begun uh to
8:46
speak about? Give us some insight.
8:50
Um,
8:53
that's a good question. And I was, now
8:55
that I'm thinking about it, I could um
8:59
base like some podcast topics on what
9:04
other people like other um radio faces
9:09
find um interest in and like what
9:12
they've been like just taking a look
9:16
into what they do instead of just like
9:21
Great.
9:21
Um
9:22
Yeah.
9:23
Yeah. um focusing on other topics and
9:26
just like focusing on what they like to
9:28
do, what they like to talk about.
9:30
So I would say
9:31
what's your name?
9:31
Oh, I'm sorry.
9:32
Yep. Yep. Yep.
9:33
Oh. Um I'm Royalty. I'm Royalty Gail.
9:38
Yeah.
9:38
Well, it's good to meet you, Royalty. I
9:39
just think I would give you a little bit
9:41
of advice for you and for everyone else.
9:43
I'm sorry. I may have asked a premature
9:44
question. I thought you guys were
9:45
already doing the podcasting. It sounds
9:46
like you might have you guys were just
9:48
learning about the basics of podcasting.
9:50
So, as you guys are learning about the
9:52
basic of podcasting, I would just give
9:54
you just one or maybe two tips. Start
9:57
with things that you're interested in,
9:59
right? That's what's going to make it
10:00
more authentic. Uh, don't talk about
10:03
things that adults want you to talk
10:05
about. Uh, don't talk about things that
10:07
you think people want to know about. If
10:10
you enjoy playing with Legos, you know,
10:14
do a podcast about Legos. Why is because
10:17
it will be authentic to you. It will be
10:19
organic. You can have lots of
10:21
conversations. You can talk about how
10:23
you love building and connecting the
10:24
colors and building worlds and creating
10:28
dynamic scenes, right? And so you can go
10:30
more in depth with people. You can ask
10:32
people questions when they come on to
10:34
your podcast about, you know, when you
10:36
were a kid, did you play Legos? What was
10:39
a favorite thing you enjoyed about
10:41
Legos? And so you can make a connection
10:43
with people. people want connect and are
10:46
drawn towards things that they can tell
10:48
that you're drawn to. If you sound
10:50
scripted or rehearsed or adult themed,
10:54
um, people may not gravitate towards
10:56
that. And I know Lindy, we were just
10:57
talking about you love dance, you know,
11:00
talk about dance, right? And why you
11:02
love dance and your favorite dancers and
11:04
maybe Alvin Ay or Beyonce or Usher or
11:07
whoever you love to see dance. Talk
11:10
about those type of things. because
11:12
those things are easy to help you
11:14
develop your voice. Podcasting is much
11:16
harder than people think that it is,
11:17
right? And so if you're just easily
11:19
discussing things that you're talking
11:21
about, you get into a rhythm, you can
11:22
work your muscles. Your muscles being
11:24
your vocals and your mind. Uh it will
11:26
help you develop and broaden your world.
11:28
And I would even I think you're asking a
11:30
really good question about challenging
11:31
kids to play more, right? I think that's
11:34
a great topic too as well. Like how can
11:36
kids play more? How can kids come off of
11:38
their iPhone? And that kind of goes
11:40
deeper. Again, that's exploring your
11:42
curiosity. So, for all of you in that
11:45
room, do things that you are interested
11:47
in because when you are interested in,
11:49
you're going to enjoy it a lot more and
11:51
you're going to have so much more
11:52
success and you're going to be it's
11:53
going to be much more authentic. So,
11:56
those would be my pro pro tips um for
11:59
you out there.
12:01
Thank you, Mike Muse. You like that
12:03
information, royalty?
12:05
What what what does your name mean?
12:06
Um
12:08
my name
12:10
That's a great question. Um, I I already
12:13
I remember the origin of my name pretty
12:15
well, but I don't exactly I don't grasp
12:19
what my name like means though.
12:21
Mhm. That's your next task. Figure that
12:24
out. Okay. So, next time I see you, I'm
12:26
going ask you that same question. All
12:28
right. We going to come back. We got
12:30
more students. Uh, we going to talk to
12:31
them and take some calls. 8887423345.
12:36
That's a sample of one of the podcasts
12:37
that the youth are doing with parenting
12:39
for liberation. And you can hear Mike
12:42
Muse to your point. You can hear these
12:44
students talk about things that are on
12:46
their minds and on their hearts. And we
12:47
have a few of those students with us
12:49
today right now. Get them a big round of
12:51
applause. We have Royalty speak on the
12:53
mic. Lindy spoke on the mic. And we got
12:55
right now joining us. Alana. What up,
12:57
Alana?
12:58
Alana.
12:59
There you go. Hey, hey, hey, Alana. What
13:01
up?
13:02
Fire name.
13:03
Good morning. Thank you.
13:04
Let me do that for you. There you go.
13:06
Absolutely.
13:07
Uh Alana, tell us about yourself and
13:09
your involvement with this.
13:11
Hi, my name is Alana. I'm 17 and making
13:15
a podcast. I I made a podcast with my
13:18
cousin and it was like when we first
13:22
started, we didn't know what to talk
13:23
about. But we're both in high school and
13:26
we've both been like through so much in
13:29
high school. We just decided to talk
13:31
about things that we we went through and
13:34
how it affected us and like we gave
13:36
advice to um the PE like stu to possible
13:41
students that would listen to it.
13:43
Mhm.
13:43
What's the name of it?
13:45
It was
13:47
the real
13:48
the real. Yeah, it was the real.
13:50
How did it make you feel to be able to
13:51
talk about these topics afterwards? Did
13:53
did it feel like a form of therapy for
13:55
you? It it honestly did because these
13:58
are some things that honestly you don't
14:01
know as a student how you can talk to
14:03
your parents about these things. You
14:05
don't know how they're going to react.
14:06
Mhm.
14:07
So it it helps like having to talk about
14:11
it um with somebody and then if your
14:14
parents end up if my parents were to end
14:15
up seeing it then I'm like okay this is
14:17
a it was more comfortable for me to talk
14:19
about it to them not directly.
14:21
What's next for you?
14:24
What's next for me is I'm gonna graduate
14:27
high school right now in four months.
14:30
So,
14:31
I have to I'm having to see what I want
14:35
to do right now. Um, still in between,
14:40
but hopefully I do like to be in the
14:43
spotlight. So, hopefully the like radio
14:46
podcast is something that I'll actually
14:47
get into.
14:48
That's Alana. What do you think, HB?
14:50
What do you think,
14:52
Alana? You are another one with a
14:54
beautiful voice, an amazing voice, and a
14:56
an amazing personality. I can tell
14:58
already. Pursue that. Even if you have
15:00
to start off um if you decide to go to
15:02
college, um intern at a a radio station
15:05
or a podcast studio in the interim,
15:08
learn as much as you can about the
15:10
business that you want to be in. Um
15:12
don't just be a one-sided person. If
15:14
you're going get into broadcasting, get
15:16
into editing, get into as much as you
15:18
can as possible and learn, read books,
15:21
uh watch other people. that's doing it
15:23
and that'll add to your toolbox so to
15:25
speak. So when it's time for the Alana
15:27
show, you are ready to go, girlfriend.
15:29
Okay.
15:29
Already ready. All right. Give it up for
15:31
Alana. Uh the and the organization once
15:34
again is Parenting for Liberation. If
15:36
people want to, you know, enter their
15:38
their their kids into uh Parenting for
15:41
Liberation, how can folks find out more
15:43
about it? Is the address that they could
15:45
go to? Yes, they they can go to
15:48

16:11
a parenting for liberation podcast that

can be found wherever you access
16:15

16:17
Parenting for liberation. Naji, what up?
16:19
Naji,
16:20
how you doing, man? Give it up for Naji,
16:21
man. He's up in the building. Look at
16:23
this guy.
16:25
Yeah, Mike Muse. This guy got a lot of
16:28
style and pizzazz about him. What What
16:30
What do you What do you think?
16:31
I can see the vibes. I can see the
16:33
vibes. Talk to us, young man. What grade
16:35
are you in? And what are you interested
16:36
in?
16:37
Um, I'm I'm in the sixth grade, and I'm
16:40
interested in um drawing and playing
16:43
video games.
16:45
I love it. Well, first of all, I love
16:46
your your you have a a great text. You
16:48
have a great character to your voice. I
16:50
love the raspiness of your voice. One of
16:53
the great qualities about radio uh is
16:56
different sounding voices. And so, you
16:58
have a voice that will be very very
17:00
memorable. And so, I love the raspiness
17:03
of of your voice. So, I I really want to
17:05
big that up really quickly. Um, talk to
17:08
me a little bit more. What type of video
17:09
games do you play?
17:11
Um, I play um like Fortnite or Roblox
17:16
sometimes. I don't really I don't really
17:18
get to play a lot because like I don't
17:20
really have a computer of my own to play
17:21
on.
17:23
Absolutely. Totally understand that. Um
17:25
I think a lot of people don't have
17:26
computers. I I get that too as well. Um
17:29
I think a podcast for you then will be
17:31
really great because you'll get a chance
17:33
if you may not be able to play the games
17:36
on a a consistent basis. The good thing
17:38
about podcast and radio is you get a
17:39
chance to talk about the games um with
17:42
consistency, right? And I think you can
17:44
be reading up on the latest characters
17:46
from Fortnite. What are they're into?
17:48
What's the latest character that got
17:49
released? What are the characteristics,
17:51
their strength, and their weaknesses?
17:53
So, since you don't play it every day,
17:54
you can come off as like the research
17:56
expert of Fortnite, right? And so, you
17:59
can spend your time kind of researching
18:00
the characters, asking your friends what
18:01
they like and what they don't like. And
18:03
then you can bring your friends on to
18:04
then have them talk about what is they
18:06
like, what they don't like, things
18:07
you've heard about, can they address it
18:08
for you? And so I think those are really
18:10
good. That's the beauty thing about like
18:12
podcast. It can be imagination, right?
18:14
And so it can supplement you not being
18:16
able to play it every day.
18:20
Hey man, what what you see in your
18:21
future? You draw too? What what what
18:23
kind of ideas you got? What you want to
18:25
do with your future?
18:26
Um, I always thought about being like a
18:30
graphic designer or like a gamer one
18:31
day. Yo, I see that for you, Naji. I see
18:34
that for
18:36
you ain't even got to think about it.
18:38
You on your way to doing it, okay? So,
18:40
you always got to claim it. So, next
18:41
time somebody say, "What you do? What do
18:44
you want to do with your future?" Tell
18:45
them, "I am a graphic designer." Okay.
18:48
And a video game designer. All right.
18:50
Niga, you're amazing young man. Give it
18:52
up for Naji. He have what do you think?
18:55
I love it. Naji, I'm a little confused
18:57
though. You said you don't have a
18:58
computer to play the video game. What
19:00
What does that mean? like a PS5 or
19:03
something. What What do you mean?
19:04
I had I had um a computer I could play
19:08
Roblox on, but I learned it was for like
19:10
a school computer, so I had to give it
19:13
back. But I still have my Nintendo, so I
19:15
could play like other games, but I can't
19:17
really play Roblox.
19:18
Okay. I think I know somebody that can
19:20
probably help you. I'll talk to you
19:21
after the show.
19:21
Oh my gosh. Heather's going to help Naji
19:23
out. Okay. Look at Sterling got excited
19:26
because that's Naji's brother.
19:28
Twin.
19:29
That's his twin. Sterling look like?
19:30
Yeah.
19:31
Yeah. Triplets. Yeah.
19:32
Triplets.
19:33
Oh my gosh.
19:34
Oh, you guys are triplets.
19:36
What's Sterling? Let's say hi to
19:37
Sterling. What up, man?
19:39
Yeah. Now, which where do you fall in
19:41
the triplets? Are you the first born,
19:43
second born, or third born?
19:44
I'm the oldest.
19:45
You're the oldest. Look at him, man. Do
19:48
So, you the big you the big brother. Do
19:51
they respect you as a big brother?
19:54
It depends.
19:56
It depends. What advice would you give
19:59
Sterling if you had to speak to someone
20:02
who is becoming a a big brother for the
20:04
first time? What are like three pieces
20:07
of advice you would give them to help
20:08
them prepare?
20:11
Just be like flexible cuz sometimes your
20:14
brothers will get on your nerves and
20:17
just they will get annoying but always
20:19
be flexible and don't be too hard on
20:21
them.
20:22
Okay.
20:23
Wow. H how are you able when you're
20:25
triplets? Is it easy to establish your
20:28
own identity? You know, where people
20:30
don't confuse you with them?
20:32
Well, yeah, cuz we have different faces
20:34
and different hairs and we have
20:36
different personalities. So, we if
20:38
someone thinks about us and we won't
20:40
really have a resemblance because he is
20:42
he is a graphic designer and he loves
20:44
games and videos, but I'm more of a
20:46
sports guy. I like to play sports and
20:48
run and exercise.
20:50
Okay. You like me. He's like me,
20:51
Heather. All right, Heather does our
20:54
sports report. You You know, maybe you

20:57
picks.
20:58

20:59
Super Bowl, Sterling, this year?
21:04
Uh, is it football that you love?
21:06
Basketball. What's your favorite sport?
21:08
Let's start with that one.
21:09
My favorite sport is basketball. I don't
21:11
really I watch football, but I don't
21:12
really know the names of the teams.
21:14
All right. What's your favorite
21:15
basketball team?
21:16
The um the Lakers. The Los Angeles
21:18
Lakers.
21:19
Okay. All right. Now, how do you do in
21:20
school, man? Um, I have good grades. I
21:23
focus, but sometimes I get a little
21:25
distracted because my friends will say
21:27
something funny, but then
21:31
that happens to me as an adult here at
21:33
work. It's all good.
21:35
Yeah. All all the time. All the time,
21:38
man. I think you have a excellent
21:39
personality. You're very mature, right?
21:42
And you have a great disposition. I like
21:44
how you carry yourself, you know, and
21:46
you seem like you're very patient as
21:48
well. Is that true?
21:49
Yeah. Sometimes I get a little
21:52
unpatient, but other than that, I I have
21:54
a relax. I calm.
21:56
Okay, that's what's up. And you two look
21:58
like models, man. Uh is that a dream of
22:00
yours?
22:02
It depends. Um like that will be a
22:04
backup cuz my first would be like
22:06
sports, getting into sports.
22:07
Okay, my man. I see that for you.
22:10
I see your future right now. Don't
22:12
forget me when you start winning uh
22:13
championships. Okay. All right. Give it
22:16

22:17
My goodness. How old are you again,
22:19

22:25

22:27
Heather, you know, the w the the
22:30
wardrobe is on, you know, is dripping on
22:32
us right now. Uh, let's welcome her to
22:34
the show. Tell everybody your name.
22:37
Um, my name is Nyla Richmond.
22:40
Nyla Richmond. How you doing today, Nyla
22:43
Richmond?
22:43
I'm good.
22:44
Okay. Say hi to Tracy G.
22:47
Hello. Hello, Nyla. We love your fit.
22:50
You just stand out. I feel like the
22:52
colors you chose are a reflection of the
22:55
the spirit you possess. Very bright,
22:58
very confident. You feel like you walk
23:01
into a room and you own the space. Would
23:04
that be accurate? Is that your goal?
23:07
Yeah.
23:10
I love it. If you don't mind sharing,
23:12
Nyla, what are some of the conversations
23:14
you're having with your friends these
23:16
days? What are some of the subjects no
23:17
matter you know which direction they go?
23:23
Gossip.
23:25
Wait, what's that? She said gossip.
23:27
Gossip.
23:28
Gossip.
23:28
We talk about like shade room gossip or
23:30
like gossip with the folks that is in
23:32
your school.
23:34
In my school.
23:36
In your school. So, what's the latest
23:38
gossip you talked about? I'm curious.
23:42
We haven't had any yet.
23:46
You look like you waiting for it. What
23:48
happens if you're the topic of gossip?
23:50
Has that happened before?
23:51
No.
23:52
No. Okay. Oh, hold on, Heather. You
23:55
don't believe that.
23:55
See, that's the tricky thing about
23:57
gossip. You know who you talking about,
23:59
but you never know who's talking about
24:00
you.
24:01
So, be careful with the gossip. Okay. Be
24:03
careful with it. That's the trickiest
24:05
thing about gossip out here. But what I
24:07
do want to say to you all, um, keep your
24:11
names. I think you all have very
24:13
beautiful and powerful names. names that
24:15
I would remember. I'm going to remember
24:17
royalty. I'm going to remember Alana.
24:19
Like, I'm going to remember y'all's
24:20
names. Like, I I remember your names.
24:22
Keep your names. It's important. A lot
24:24
of times when you go into broadcasting
24:26
or journalism or podcast, people come up
24:29
with names and nicknames and all kind of
24:31
stuff. Keep your names. Um, it's
24:33
something that'll stay with you.
24:34
Remember, your name has a meaning behind
24:36
it. Remember that you should be a person
24:38
of character. Are you building your
24:40
reputation? Keep your word. People rely
24:43
on you. Show up. If somebody tells you
24:45
to be someplace at 1:00, show up at
24:47
12:30 if you can. Be ready, you know, be
24:50
on time. Do your research. Do your
24:52
homework. Learn a new word every day.
24:54
Read a new book. Find out as much as you
24:57
can about what you love with sports. I
24:59
love that you all have something
25:01
different, but more importantly, your
25:03
name and your reputation will bring you
25:06
so far. Sway and I have known each other
25:08
um for over 30 years. And I know that
25:10
seems like a very long time. And there
25:12
were years and gaps when we did not see
25:14
each other because I'm from the East
25:16
Coast. I'm from New Jersey. He's from
25:17
California. So there would be years when
25:19
we would not see each other. But every
25:21
time we would run into each other, it
25:23
was always a great energy and a great
25:25
vibe and we were always very good to
25:27
each other. And people remember that
25:28
about you. People remember how you make
25:30
them feel. They remember what what you
25:33
say to them. So keep that about you all
25:35
because you all have amazing qualities
25:37
about yourselves going into this field
25:39
and I can't wait to see you all again in
25:41
this field. Maybe you guys will give me
25:43
a sway a job one day.
25:44
Okay, Nyla, right? You'll give me a job,
25:48
huh?
25:48
You'll give me a job when you become a
25:50
boss.
25:51
Um, maybe
25:52
I'mma gossip about you as soon as you
25:54
leave. I'm gossiping about you now.
25:58
She going to talk about you first.
25:59
Talk about
26:02
a job ready. But give her a big round of
26:04
applause. You did a great job.
26:06
