• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Well? Thank you? Thank you for having me. What an introduction.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Now let's talk about you, my friend. I'm very familiar
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: with Princess George. The first of all, let's tell us
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: talk to us about Prince because you said it in there,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Prince George's County, Maryland. What is that area and why
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: is it important to our conversation today?
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I love it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Prince George's County, Maryland is and was dean the number
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: one area for wealth in black in the black community
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: around the world. In the United States, they just rezoned it,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so changed a little bit, but it is.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: It is the.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: City right adjacent to the District of Columbia, Washington, d
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: C where we work. So we go and we go
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: back and forth to Washington, d C. It's just a
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: rocks throw As a matter of fact, where I grew
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: up was also zoned when I was a kid as
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Washington d C. Before we when we started switching off
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to give d C what it was. So it's very important.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It's very important to my younger brother lives in that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: area down here is like a fool barber or in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a beauty salon. So I assume he's probably in that
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: erie down there, living good.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Living good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: But let's talk about you. I would compably Upbet, I'm
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a cancer survivor. Twenty fifteen, I was diagnosed with cancer
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: thyroid and it changed my perspective on life when I
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: was as a business owner, as a family man, as
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a husband, as a father, because when they say the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: word cancer, it is it is life leveling, whether you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: know the level of the severity of the cancer or not.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Every stereotype of every fear that you have heard or
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: been aware of, or we cancer jumps into your spirit,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: jumps into your soul. Talk about this. Are you a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: cancer survivor? Sanita m Hill.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I am a I am diagnosed with AMGUS and I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: will say is the precursor to multiple maloma in the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: African American community, specifically for women. However, when we talk
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of when we hear amgess or when we hear of it,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: usually we hear of it as leukemia, which is totally
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: different on outside of the spectrum. So since for twenty years,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I've been watched for the gene to make sure, because
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you have to be watched, it will hit milestones and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it will switch over before you can catch it. So
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I've been with an oncologist every six months, sometimes we
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: switch back and forth for the past twenty years.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Now I brought this up into conversation because there are
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are in the entrenial, entrepreneurial spaceball
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: business owner space influencers.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Who are Type eight.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I'm a Type A person and because of that, you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: know this, Every six months, do I have time or
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: how importantness? Talk about the whole process of your group
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that you have around them, talking about your loved ones,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: your coworkers, understanding the importantness for your sanity, for your
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: peace of mind. Why these six months to annual tests
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: are important.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So the annual tests are very important for me one
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to it keeps me in touch with not being in denial,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: because denial will cause me to just go and skip
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: these appointments where my numbers will change. And so then
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we go off and we don't talk about it, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: no one is talking about it but our oncologists, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it helps us to get into groups and to get
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: more informed. That is what it does for me, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that is what peace.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: On Atuxant does for women.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It allows them to come together with the community of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: women who are going through various types of cancers.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: But the journey is the same, and it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mitigate the anxieties that we have from being diagnosed
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: as you just mentioned.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Although I may not look like I or I or the.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Other women may not look like they're going through cancer.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But on an end side, there's always this fere yes,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: when is it gonna When is it gonna jump up?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: One of my numbers is gonna change? What does this
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: mean for my family? So all of that is there,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: but people don't see it.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: It gives you an amazing sense of mortality that you
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you don't have it in your twenties, thirties, and then
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: when you you know, once you get past fifty, you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we all know the finish line is coming, okay, and it's.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Gonna be real. You should know there's a finish line.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: You know, when you're twenty, you don't see the finish line.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You just literally your life, partying, going to college, you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: having babies, having getting married out there, living to the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: next dream and investing in the stock market. You get
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: past fifty, you go, okay, what does my life look like?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And that's the mortality that cancer can bring onto you
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in your twenties, in your thirties, in your forties, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the reality that it can happen to you today. That's
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: why the family history is important.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Correctness Hill absolutely absolutely, and we talked We know about
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: sickle cell, which is one of the things that we discussed.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: However we're not talking about the gene. My mother, who
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: transitioned from lung cancer, told me in her spirit she
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: knew she would bede. She would be the first who
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in our family who had open cancer. She knew that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and heard her dad pass from cancer. So knowing that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that's there and we begin to talk about it, it
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: gives you a different understanding or just awareness like Okay,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: this is here. And so when we talk about mingus
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and multiple myeloma, it then again brings it to the forefront.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You have this dormant smoldering we called some call it smoldering.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: There's this smoldering thing that's sitting in your blood. What
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: will it do and when will it do? So stress
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: has to be kept at a minimum in your life.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: You have to try to maintain.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: It well stressed.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: That's why I think it's important to hear the word
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: peace on patescent.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Peace. You're trying to get peace.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And I've talked to a lot of people and my
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: version of how I reacted cancer and how.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Women react to cancer two different days.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So I'm not even gonna jump into this lane and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: act like my conversation and my relatability to women who
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: are suffering from cancer or been diagnosed with cancer or
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: been cured from cancer. But when you've been cured, they
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: always tell you to check every six months to a year,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: so that that sensibility or sense of a calm or
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: peace will always be on the edge. Can it come back?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Will it come back? If it comes back? If I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: miss it? What's the severity? Will it be cured this
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: time around? So what inspired you to create peace on Potussic?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So, my mother, as I mentioned, was diagnosed with let
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: me start here first. I was diagnosed with AM and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: about six months later, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And so in her journey, because I will share that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: when my mother was diagnosed, I said on mine because
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: hers was more important for me to help her. I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: felt like it was more important for me to help
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: her run her journey or to get treated. So, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to help her get treated. She was my mother, So
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I sort of sit on mine although watching it, but
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it was more important.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: So during her.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Journey, I saw our women and I again being here
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in Bridge George's County. I saw how women of color
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the resources were very nil. But I also saw what
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: was important to her. What was important was just sitting
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in the garden, was sitting in the garden and just
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: being able to think about it and allowing her to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: run her journey, her race, her way. Hearing her voice
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: was important. And I believe that a doctor or your
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: medical team, if they are not sympathetic and understanding to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you running your journey your way, can make or break
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: your treatment. And so peace on Patuxin is not connected
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: with any hospital or doctor, because we want the woman
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to make to run her journey. I share with a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: lot of people that when a woman is diagnosed, she's told,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: when anyone is diagnosed, let's go that way. When a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: woman is diagnosed, she's told she has choices. However, her
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: choices are already made for her. You will take this treatment,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you will go this place, you will do that, And
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: then you have your family who has expectations of how
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: they want you to do it. No one has asked
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: or given you the time to sit and just pause
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and think about maybe I don't want chemo, maybe I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: don't want radiation. They don't give you that, and That's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: what Peace on Patuxin offers, just a place to pause,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: think and be honored for the woman that you are
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: or you were, because you're still a wife, still a daughter,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: still a coworker, all those things are still on your
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: back while you're running that journey.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: That is what Peace on Petuxin is.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm speaking to us, she said the founder and CEO
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: or Peace on Potetic. They create sanctuaries for women battling
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: life leveling cancers. Okay, let's go to those three words.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I just say, what exactly is life leveling cancers?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Life leveling cancer is any cancer, any cancer. It could
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: be skin cancer, because once you are told you have cancer,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it changes your life. You are on the floor, knocked down,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out how I'm going to manage this thing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: So we have turned it life leveling. Actually, one of
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: our one of my betas in the beginning, who's also transition,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: helped to define life leveling. So it's from the women
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that we draw what is that we need to communicate?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: How do we communicate this to the community and two
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: people who doesn't who don't.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Understand, let me get this clear now, are these are
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: individual with terminal cancer diagnosis or people who are hovering
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: from cancer through therapy, chemotherapy. So I'm just, I just,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I just want to clearly understand when you said life leveling,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: because I could be a life leveler because in twenty
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: fifteen I was diagnosed, they gave me radition treatment and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I've been every test says comes back and says I'm negative.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: So is it the.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Terminal side of it, that that terminate that that that
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: demonstrates life level of what exactly is it?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Life leveling is once you're diagnosed?
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Mos okay, okay that I needed it because it was
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: life leveling for me. My life passed before my eyes.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I will literally tell you it was two life levelings
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: for me. One when he told me I was negative.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: And I remember to this day, Anita, this, this doctor
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: walked in the room, he said, we looked at your test,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: were fine, and walked out.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I went, what is he saying? What did we say find?
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: What does fine mean?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Because you have so many paths, so many emotions that
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you have to deal with in dealing with cancer. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: remember chased them in the hall say hey, dude, do
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: do do dode? I need more clarity? What does fine mean?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: In your book. When it comes to cancer, you know.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Fine fire, I find Hamburgers, I find cars. If they
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: define women, what does find mean? Okay, oh, I'm sorry,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, meaning that you know negative, Just come and
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: see us every six months to a year, get on
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the books, and you're the cancer that we saw.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: We killed them with the radiation pill and you're good
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: to go. So that put me into life leveling.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: But I am still I would tell everybody I am
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: still fearful that cancer can't come back.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Now I bring that up because I am a business owner.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I employ people.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I am building a company that I would like to
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: be will be here five years, fifteen years, fifty years,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: fifteen years. Employees have devoted their time because I've sold
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: them on the idea that this is a company that
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: has value and you should put your time in. You
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: should make this a career opportunity. How does the life
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: leveling cancer people like me deal with that that you
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: interact with.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So what peace ontuxon does is it gives you the moment,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It gives you clarity.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: It allows you to just pause on clarity. Many times.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You know, we come with women come with preconceived notions.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Once they get together in their communities, or they develop
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: these relationships or talk with other people. There are so
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: many different options out there. The option of I may
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: have come. I can share a story. I had a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: young lady that when we were doing our beta process
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and she didn't have anyone else, so she thought, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: have to leave all of my possessions to my family
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: who don't even talk to me. It wasn't until she
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: showed up that she could hear and hear that that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: is not where you have to that's not what you
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: have to do. And in her transitioning she left it
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to a church. But she couldn't hear the voice until
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: she came here, and she couldn't hear her voice until
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: she got still in her treatments and everything else. Until
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: she was still, she was able to make a sound
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: decision by herself.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: That's the voice.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Well, it gives you a sense of balance, absolutely clear understanding.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: With that being said, how do we get in touch
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: with you?

• 16:43
  Speaker 2: informed I had cancer because I didn't want to tell people.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And I want to talk about that. Because of the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: fact that you get cancer at a certain age, you
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: can be stereotyped. You can you can may potentially think
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: you could lose your job, you potentially lose career opportunities.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: People look at you different way, and I really strive
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: to look different or the stereotype what a cancer victim
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: looks like.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: You have to deal with that as well.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Correct Yes, yes, yes, And what we see and what
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I see is that in that how do we give
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: ourselves permission? How do we work again? That's the community. However,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: what I see on the other side is the the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: isolation I share with many people because we're we're we're
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: intentionally with ethnicity in our ethnic community. First of all,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: we African Americans haven't been out there. We have we
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: were hiding our families in the closet when they had.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Cancer years ago. So here we are.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: We're trying to embrace it, but we need to be
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: able to step into it and own it as well.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: And look at our other communities, our Asian communities, our
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Indian communities.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: How do they how do they how do we get
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: them our Latino community specifically, how do we get them
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: to come out and say it's okay, it's okay.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: And you not be banished for it. So that is
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: what we're trying to do. I'm here.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed these interviews because as far as the Black community,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: we've that closet that you was talking about was pat
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: The gay community was in that closet, you know what
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. You know, mental health people issues was in
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that closet. You know, old people in that closet, sick
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: people in that closet. As Black people, we have always
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: hidden the truth from ourselves, which prevented us from really
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: growing as a family and as a community because we've
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: always been a community of the night. Social media I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: think has helped that and also hurt that in a
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: lot of ways. But also note that this is a
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: male perspective, being that we're talking about a female issue.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Now the meaning of the word she matters. Talk about
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: that affirmation.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: She matters again, women have women are still daughters. I'll
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: start with myself.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Your daughter, your mother, your coworker, your friend.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You have all of that and your diagnosed, and then
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you have your diagnosis and.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: You're moving through it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And what we want them to know, what we want
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: women to know when they come to Peace on the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Texan is that they matter.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: She matters.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Not only do we provide an atmosphere that you can
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: just I tell everyone it's more of an atmosphere of
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a bed and breakfast, but we send a limousine in
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the state of Maryland to pick that woman up. So
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: we're not just telling her to come here because she
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't even know what she's getting into. We provide her
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: with a limousine door to door limousine, not uber and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: it has to be a limousine service and understand the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: challenges that they're picking that woman up. Once she gets here,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: she's greeted with the rig carpet and she has a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: cheering squad, so then she's treated. Once she comes to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the door, she is then served. Our volunteers serve her
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: we have someone who prepares their meal. So for two
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: days you are prepared, your meals are prepared. You don't
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: pick up any any food. You don't take away your dinner,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you don't take your plate. You do nothing but stillness. Right,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: and we may have an activity and then we and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: then we send and give you a sindoff.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So I'll be fighting now, I'm telling you, missile. After that,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I've been picked up in a limbo. Two days of
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: whining and dining and my feet up in the air.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: It has to be some people holding off to the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: exit door.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: And let me tell you, with their crowns, because we're crowned.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: When they leave.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: They are always saying they leave with their crowns on.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I've had a picture sent back. They tell me this
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: is what I have.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: My feedback is that whenever they feel bad, they go
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: put their crown on and they know that she matters,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: like I don't have to hide and it's okay that
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I have a have a still miss on the inside.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's important that again, thank you for that story,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and thank you for how you're are you creating.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: These moments because everybody needs a moment.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I would tell people, you know, a memory is powerful
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: a memory and if you don't have good memories, then
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: you really it could leads you into depression. Because I'm
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: a type A person and I I only survive tied
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to my memories that have good memories, have bad memories,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: but the good memories outweigh the bad memories.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: And there's there.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: So it's so incredible that I can It's tied to music,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: it can be tied to food, it can be tied
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to vacation, a moment, but memories are powerful. And so
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: by giving these cancer victims a powerful memory that they can.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Just pull up real quick with a crown.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Come on that you win it? You winning it in
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: my book? Now, now when is this? When is the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: timeline or not exact day? This is a couple of
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: months online? What happened? And when it becomes online? What
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: is the website that we need to go to to
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: find it?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So we have our website. Our website is online. We
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: are active website. We are going to launch a virtual
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: platform where for a woman who cannot come to peace
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: on Protuxant or during those moments, say from Christmas. We're
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: going to launch the virtual sessions in January because we
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: know that after Christmas, we pause our sessions.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I'll start. Let me go back.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: We pause our sessions from October from October last session,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: and then we pick back up again in May. But
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: in between, how do we reach the masses? How do
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: we reach those? So that is going to be an
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: online virtual session where women can gather and in the interim,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: because we're not closed, we're just trying to figure out
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: how to make it better for you next year. That is,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and that will go live in January.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, now you know me.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I'm in sponsorship mode here, you know, I'm trying to
• 22:54

• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool, we need to talk. Okay you're talking these
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: these down times. We're talking to see when you get
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: uplifted if we can bring some nice things along the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: line based on people I know, you know let's let's
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: talk about vision to reality. And I'm talking to I
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: keep I keep referring back to to dreams and people
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: who are I I'm under saying that people who work
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: forty hour week don't have do not have dreams, but
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: they're in a much more structured environment. And we're an entrepreneur,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: small business owner, influencer and running nonprofits. That forty hour
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: week is on you.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: And when you have.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: These major life threatening hiccups that come into your life,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: it also can impact your dream.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Now you were formed, you know.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: That you have a potential that can happen in your life,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: but you're still moving on.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: How do you go from vision to.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Reality when you're when you're dealing with issues like this,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Sanita M.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Hill. So, I tell you my network keeps me grounded.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: My support group keeps me grounded. Piece on Patuxent. When
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I started it, I thought I started it because.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Of my mom.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: But when when When the first gathering came, the first gathering,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: there were a bunch of us and they showed up.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: The last car that pulled up and she double parked
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: her car. She double parked the car and she ran
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: into the property. And when she ran in everybody that
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: was sitting there was like, and who is this woman?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And I looked up and it was my nurse. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I had to tell the truth. I had to stand
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: in mind and say, this is my oncologist, this is
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: my uncologist, nurse who's been following me. So my team
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: makes me stay and in my reality, where are you today, anito?
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: What is going on with you today? What are your numbers?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: So they're always checking me and when are you rested?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: So what I do is I take every three months
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and I take a break and I'll go somewhere, whether
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: it be local, just to take a break from all
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Can I take a page out of your book, the
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: resting page? You know, because my wife looks at me,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: going okay, Rashaan. Two ways you can rest that the
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: one you one way you don't ever want to get
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: to because I can't talk to you no more.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Women giving back to power palls? What exactly is the meaning.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Of the palls?
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: That's p A U S p A U S E.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: SI absolutely and that, oh my gosh, that was that
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: was how do you just stop? As I said earlier,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: women were told, women aren't told.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: They think they have a choice. They think they have.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Choices because they lie all the choices out to you
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: when you when you get when you're diagnosed, you can
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: do this, that you're gonna do this, you can and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: it sounds like you have choices, but it's already mapped
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: out for you. And we're saying in that you can pause,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you can pause, and it's okay. We're not here to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: tell you how to run your journey. We're just here
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to allow you to pause your mind.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Am I hearing this correctly?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: What you're telling us in this interview, Sanita, is that
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: first of all, the doctor's gonna say one thing, just
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: like the doctor told me, I was cured and walked
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: out the door because I was just another patient. You're
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: trying to put another voice in a person's head to
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: say there's a reality. There are people who you can
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: talk to, the people who have similar outcomes like you.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: But we're not sitting over here being sad. We're not
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: looking at life as over We're not afraid of life.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: We're not fraid of planning. We're not running from potential love,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: we're not running from potential relationships, we're not running from
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: potential business opportunities. And that's what that diagnos dignosis can
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: do to you. It can make you stop, It can
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: make you run in the corner and you go and
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: feel sorry for yourself. And then also can stereotyping. Like
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I was telling you earlyer, i'mmember run I was diagnosed.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: You know, I was like afraid to tell people out
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: going well, you know, in my fifties. They might think,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I'm I can't do a certain job, or they might
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: not give me a future job opportunity because you tie
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: age and cancer. Why would I want that old person
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: around who's about to die. So when you hear those
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: things coming out of my mouth, your motivation is to
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: do the exact opposite correct city.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, and I'll tell you and the African community,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: African American community, and the Latin then the ethnic community.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Right, we only know.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: What they give us, what we get the information that
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: we get, But there is so much more information out there.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: There are so many different options.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you what the options is only someone
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: who has been through it. Maybe someone lives on the
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: north side who has access to a different option that
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: you're not getting over on the south side. So how
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: are you gonna know if you don't come out and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: have the conversation. Maybe there is someone who has been
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: into another group of another persuasion knows that they're doing
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: a whole different treatment over there, but they're not giving
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: it to us over here. The only way you're gonna
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: get that information is if you come, sit down, be
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: willing to talk, and then you may be interested, maybe
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: just maybe, but that's what's happening in your community.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: You're only going to get what they give you.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: And again, I gotta go through. I gotta got do.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: We get in touch with you, go through the experience,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: because I do want everybody be excited.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I'm just happy that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Yet me tell you something, this is not turning around
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: in this circle. Everybody looking and sad, talk about what
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: could have happened. I wish I'd have done this in
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: my life. This is not what we're talking about in
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: this interview. When I got an opportunity to bring Saneita
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: m Hill on my show, I'm bringing on those shows
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: so I can kind of like share my story to
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: the men out there that Rashan McDonald was diagnosed in
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: twenty fifteen and have been running on fast. Not because
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I feel their end is near. I'm enjoying my life.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I vacation more.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I smell the roses a lot more, and I understand
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: that I'm not I'm Type A, but I'm not a
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: loud type A like I used to be. And so
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I value relationships a lot more because cancer will do
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: that to you. It makes you understand who you are,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: what legacy you want to leave when you leave. But
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: with that being said, the process, how do they is
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: an application they submit Sanita hip? What is the requirements
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: and why are people are selected?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, so the application is online at www dot piece
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: on protection dot Org and you can say I think
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: it's a invite, I want to come or I want
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to visit. So you can go to our website and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: it's there you submit the application from there. What COVID
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: taught us, and what COVID taught was that let's do interviews.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: So each woman self attests the only there are two requirements.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You have to be over eighteen and you have to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: be healthy enough to be independent, because we don't allow
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: any other persons here.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: It's just you.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: So you have to be healthy enough to be on
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: your own, feed yourself, walk around. We don't have we're
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: not wheelchair accessible. You have to be healthy enough. So
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of times we understand that once when we
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: interview someone and it's on camera. We do our interviews
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: virtual and it's very easy. But we want you to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: self a test. We don't ask you to bring in
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: a doctor's a referral from your doctor or your social worker.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: We want you to self a test and we trust
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: that you are within your two years because you the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: most is two years post diagnosis, and that allows other
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: women to come. And so with all of that, we're
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: able to say, okay, we can once we interview you.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: And we accept you.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: That's the process, and we have a social work team
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that reviews the applications. We also understand that when you
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: think you're doing well, if you're in the middle of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: your treatment, you just want to reserve your spot. But
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: if you're not feeling well and that time comes, your
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: slot comes up and you're not feeling well, you can
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: come another day.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: The team is not so rigorous like, oh, she can't come.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: We understand, right, We respect your decision or you're not
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: feeling well, because that's what it's all about.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: We want you at your best.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: A name is Sanita Hill, founding CEO of Peace on
