6:18
Speaker 1: have the running to go to school. You know, I
6:20
Speaker 1: wanted to go. I know my start. I was talented,
6:23
Speaker 1: and strangely them not. I was offered a scholarship uh
6:26
Speaker 1: in art, but I did not know and my mother

Speaker 1: did not know that that's where the ever fire comes in.
6:31
Speaker 1: You gotta know you gotta go to those those um
6:34

6:36
Speaker 1: that stuff, I just have to go with kids especially
6:38

6:40
Speaker 1: even I could have gone into college or that scholars
6:42
Speaker 1: shaking switch lad. I didn't know that. So there's a
6:45
Speaker 1: lot of stuff I didn't know. All I did know
6:48
Speaker 1: was that I was on a mission to make sure
6:52
Speaker 1: that not one kid who wanted to go to school
6:56
Speaker 1: would feel like that wealth pact. And so chen led
7:01
Speaker 1: to twenty hundred and I think the last time of
7:05
Speaker 1: matter about being about two something like that. But I
7:08
Speaker 1: tell them what I give you I called a jump stuff.
7:12
Speaker 1: And I can't go out there and give you all
7:13
Speaker 1: that money like all the mother folks, But I would

Speaker 1: give me five thousand dollars or four dollars dars. Get
7:18
Speaker 1: you in there. Once you get in there, and you
7:20
Speaker 1: find out where the rest of that money is, because
7:21
Speaker 1: there's some more money in there. You got you got
7:26
Speaker 1: look for it. And then on troll of that, when
7:27
Speaker 1: you get in there, you make sure that we don't
7:31
Speaker 1: have to douvel up on you because you didn't pass
7:33
Speaker 1: a class. You get in there, you better pass every
7:37
Speaker 1: class there is now strange steing up. I'm gonna tell
7:40
Speaker 1: you something. I work with Dr Frience Brown because Dr
7:43
Speaker 1: Prince Brown was at all in the state at that time,
7:45
Speaker 1: and I think Dr Brownson was was the president there.
7:48
Speaker 1: But I worked also with family when I worked with
7:50
Speaker 1: Don Cook Money, I worked with Texas Southern, I work
7:53
Speaker 1: with UM Virginia Union, all of them. I've been on
7:56
Speaker 1: all the campuses and stuff. So for me, it's it's
7:59
Speaker 1: gonna always be a heart prod for me, you know,
8:04
Speaker 1: to make sure that anybody that really wants to go
8:06
Speaker 1: to school, I want to continue their education can do that.
8:11
Speaker 1: And I know that Boies along with all the other hbcs,
8:16
Speaker 1: they need the funds. They always need the funds, you know.
8:20
Speaker 1: In this era that we're in now, with this COVID
8:22
Speaker 1: nineteen and stuff, a lot of things have changed now
8:24
Speaker 1: we're in a new normal. So I'm not specific about
8:28
Speaker 1: exactly what it is they need. I just know that
8:32
Speaker 1: they need the funds to get whatever it is because
8:35
Speaker 1: I don't know what the studies are, what all the
8:37
Speaker 1: main studies are now because our world has changed and
8:40
Speaker 1: we are virtually in a virtual world with a lot
8:42
Speaker 1: of technology going on. So I'm assuming that we need
8:45
Speaker 1: technical equipment. We need we we need um professors and
8:51
Speaker 1: the features were like their work. We need administrators that
8:54
Speaker 1: can come in back and teach that. They have to
8:56
Speaker 1: have salaries, then have labs, you know, and we have
8:59
Speaker 1: to have even promotional money because we have to make
9:03
Speaker 1: a kid excited about right right, excited about achievement, excited
9:08
Speaker 1: about being a part of where we are now in
9:10
Speaker 1: the world we are, and we need the engineers. We
9:13
Speaker 1: need people looking look at the wonderful people that went
9:16
Speaker 1: up in space. Look at they asked them, look at them,
9:18
Speaker 1: and look at the first state work. You know, we
9:20
Speaker 1: we we need scientists and doctors, well COVID others. We
9:24
Speaker 1: need a lot of doctors. Right, so were profession We're
9:27
Speaker 1: in a new parent, new normal. So and it's not
9:31
Speaker 1: supposed to stop learning. It's not supposed to stop right.
9:34

Speaker 1: lot of testing and all this stuff there was that
16:40
Speaker 1: probably prepared along with scientists, the food for the astronauts,
16:44
Speaker 1: forces or what there gets a job, a responsibility or duty.
16:49
Speaker 1: I love everybody, and sometimes you just gotta go beyond
16:56
Speaker 1: your your your basic education. And that's why we need
17:00
Speaker 1: to make sure that we keep fonds available for these
17:03
Speaker 1: kids to going through these schools here, but also the
17:07
Speaker 1: university's college universities have to come up to hear. Also,
17:10
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing right now. Years ago
17:12
Speaker 1: I kind a new head of general idea of what
17:15
Speaker 1: the studies were and what was requiring this set the other.
17:18
Speaker 1: But I'm sure that things have changed now. If they
17:21
Speaker 1: haven't changed as much, then they need to change much more,
17:25
Speaker 1: come up to where we need to be technically, scientifically, medically,
17:30
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. And so that's why I
17:33
Speaker 1: agree to continue and I probably will always do in
17:36
Speaker 1: some some way on some level, to always try to
17:39
Speaker 1: help some young person and even some mature person, because
17:43
Speaker 1: I remember there was a time I gave up scholarships
17:46
Speaker 1: to to uh some young people, and we were at
17:50
Speaker 1: the ceremony, and then I wanted the young people took
17:52
Speaker 1: part of their money and shared it. This was a
17:55
Speaker 1: female of Ethnomer female. She asked me though, she said,
17:59
Speaker 1: miss pay, would you mind if I gave half of
18:01
Speaker 1: my scholarship money to my friend? And she has two
18:05
Speaker 1: kids and she wants to come to school. I ain't
18:07
Speaker 1: no problem with that. Almost broke with your tears. Then
18:09
Speaker 1: by the same token, there was another young man who
18:13
Speaker 1: was finishing up his last year and he's still at
18:16
Speaker 1: funds and and he asked me it would be all
18:19
Speaker 1: right if he passed his funds onto somebody's. It just
18:23
Speaker 1: it just took my heart. You know, I don't I
18:26
Speaker 1: don't ever ask anybody to give me anything back. And
18:28
Speaker 1: maren't too much anybody could give me, because first of all,
18:31
Speaker 1: God bless me with He blessed me the ability to
18:35
Speaker 1: know the difference between rich and poort. You ain't got
18:37
Speaker 1: nothing to do with what's in my pocket, Okay, It
18:40
Speaker 1: has to deal with in my my heart and my
18:41
Speaker 1: soul and stuff. Because I can become a millionaire amount
18:44
Speaker 1: a millionaire today in the morrow, but I could be
18:48
Speaker 1: sick and not be if they enjoy that. And uh,
18:50
Speaker 1: my richness and my value comes in and my spirit
18:55
Speaker 1: and my belief and understanding that I'm not responsible for anything,
19:00
Speaker 1: but how I treat people, how do I let people
19:03
Speaker 1: treat me? And who I believe in, not believing him?
19:06
Speaker 1: And you take scare of me. So he makes sure
19:08
Speaker 1: that I don't get caught up in anything except what's
19:11
Speaker 1: necessary and what's available, and also what's important to people.
19:15
Speaker 1: I love it when I see people progress. I love
19:18
Speaker 1: it when I see young people good doing things that
19:20
Speaker 1: their hearts designed. It makes me feel good. If that's
19:24
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that will make you take the
19:26
Speaker 1: shirt off your back and give it to him, that's
19:28
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff to say. If you take this,
19:29
Speaker 1: you're gonna use this because I know you're gonna put
19:31
Speaker 1: it to good use, because you understand that I ain't
19:34
Speaker 1: just about you. You want to be a contributor to
19:36
Speaker 1: the world in some way that's lasting, that's ever lasting.
19:39
Speaker 1: Although you won't be here and it's time, you want
19:42
Speaker 1: to be able to contribute and leave something. That's why
19:45
Speaker 1: we need people to donate to these colleges. That's why
19:49
Speaker 1: we need the money for those who have that passion.
19:52
Speaker 1: And I always tell people, they're not a lot of
19:54
Speaker 1: people anyway. You are going to have an opportunity in
19:57
Speaker 1: this life because we really really under of the service
20:01
Speaker 1: of somebody that's so powerful, and that's so awesome. Until
20:03
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the opportunity to maybe have three careers.
20:08
Speaker 1: One thirty your life, you're gonna spend doing something that
20:11
Speaker 1: maybe you don't like to do it, but you're good
20:12
Speaker 1: at it, so you make a lot of money. But
20:15
Speaker 1: then you are spare one thirty your life doing something
20:17
Speaker 1: that you love it so much. You're here for free,
20:21
Speaker 1: that's yours. And then he wants to be on one
20:23
Speaker 1: thirty your life flow then saying well I'm not. Well,
20:25
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that because that's life. And we said awesome,
20:30
Speaker 1: So you got an opportunity to do that. So the
20:32
Speaker 1: young people that have a heart desire to do something
20:36
Speaker 1: or to be a contributor in a special way, that's
20:39
Speaker 1: the kind of person I really want to push. That's
20:41
Speaker 1: the kind of person that I really want to beg Oh,
20:43
Speaker 1: I'll bet for some stop shipping money, I'll bet for
20:46
Speaker 1: some investment money. I'll beg for that kind of person.
20:49
Speaker 1: Because I know that what they want is coming from
20:52
Speaker 1: deep inside and they feel it like that because they
20:56
Speaker 1: can put it out like that because they know it's
20:58
Speaker 1: not just for there. You listen to Joe Marie Payton

21:51
Speaker 1: is that those organizations, all of them about service, which
21:56
Speaker 1: is so powerful, and it's wonderful that they represent the
22:02
Speaker 1: way they are representing represented on the Polish camps. You know,
22:07

Speaker 1: whether you got money donated. We got the scholars favor,
22:31

Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. Come on out and do what
22:36
Speaker 1: needs to be done there. You know, let's let's talk
22:40
Speaker 1: about you know, we talked about HBC, you talk about family,
22:43
Speaker 1: we talk about living dreams, and we're talked about trying
22:46
Speaker 1: to change lives with these scholarships dollars that were trying
22:48
Speaker 1: to raise for the stream of Thon which is happening Tuesday,
22:51
Speaker 1: the decent referson. We want people to make a donation.
22:53
Speaker 1: And the fact that the donations are tax reductable, that's
22:56
Speaker 1: gonna be real. They're tax detectable this time of the
22:58
Speaker 1: year is when people make these type with donations, and
23:01
Speaker 1: like I always tell anybody, it's you know, a dollar
23:03
Speaker 1: got the president elect, Joe Biden elected, So it doesn't
23:06
Speaker 1: take much to be a donation. And more importantly, it's
23:09
Speaker 1: about understanding the change that you can make when you
23:12
Speaker 1: make effort to create change and your life. When you
23:15
Speaker 1: look at the things that's happened in COVID happened this year,
23:19
Speaker 1: we didn't see that coming. How did it affect you?
23:21
Speaker 1: Because my my story, I tell everybody honestly, you know,
23:24
Speaker 1: when it happened, it was like moving in slow motion.
23:27
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to go out in public. Initially
23:30
Speaker 1: I had my gloves, I had my parrel, I had
23:33
Speaker 1: my mad but in fact I didn't have a mask
23:35
Speaker 1: in the time. I had a kind of like a
23:36
Speaker 1: ski mask. I just kind of like pulled it up
23:38
Speaker 1: above my nose and I went at home deeper and
23:40
Speaker 1: I came out. I didn't know that opened the door
23:43
Speaker 1: to fast, or that I put Pararel off, and so
23:45
Speaker 1: I just locked out into the house for about several
23:48
Speaker 1: weeks until I trying to figure out Because it was
23:50
Speaker 1: the whole factor, it was so much unknown about COVID
23:53
Speaker 1: and I said, we know a lot now, but we
23:55
Speaker 1: kind of know how to live with it. Now. How
23:57
Speaker 1: did they react to you and how did you deal
23:59
Speaker 1: with it in your family and the surrounding individuals who
24:02
Speaker 1: you come in contact with. Okay, you know, first, first off,
24:06
Speaker 1: when we u when we got to notice that we
24:08
Speaker 1: had to lock down, I was facilitating or um at
24:13
Speaker 1: the school program in the arts and creating and and
24:16
Speaker 1: we were just getting ready to do one. It delified
24:19
Speaker 1: a tribute to the O James, all my little people.
24:21
Speaker 1: We were reading my spoons and maid never end and
24:25
Speaker 1: we never got a chance to do it. And so
24:28
Speaker 1: the first hit I got was I missed my kids,
24:32
Speaker 1: and I know they missed me. And it wasn't just
24:33
Speaker 1: about the still I had been to these young people
24:36
Speaker 1: for like two years. I think my sin now as
24:39
Speaker 1: far as my immediate familys, I missed them that that
24:42
Speaker 1: because I was on the schedule with them. Now my
24:45
Speaker 1: immediate family, my husband is a respiratory thing. So I
24:49
Speaker 1: spent play time praying for him to be shaped at
24:53
Speaker 1: the hospital and him and all the other medical professionals,
24:56
Speaker 1: but also prayer you can bring it home to me.
24:59
Speaker 1: But also I prayed for my daughter who worked in
25:04
Speaker 1: the county, and she couldn't stop work right there like
25:07
Speaker 1: that minute. But she would eventually come home. And my granddaughter,
25:10
Speaker 1: of course was under age, so she hadn't stayed there.
25:13
Speaker 1: I stayed home. They stay stayed home. So I basically,
25:16
Speaker 1: for the most part, I stayed home. Whenever I needed something,
25:19
Speaker 1: my daughter would go out for me to get it,
25:22
Speaker 1: or I start ordering stuff to order and to bring
25:25
Speaker 1: it to my house. I became the Queen Amazon, wal
25:29
Speaker 1: martin Target, and everybody else that was the Sam Club.
25:32
Speaker 1: Everybody I ordered into the Hunts and then of course
25:36
Speaker 1: I sat up there and then like about ten pounds
25:38
Speaker 1: like everybody else. But the way I handled it was
25:42
Speaker 1: that I tried to follow the science and what people
25:47
Speaker 1: were saying, and the way my husband was feeling when
25:50
Speaker 1: he would come home, like looking at he was gonna
25:53
Speaker 1: drop dead at the door, you know, pulling off all
25:57
Speaker 1: his stuff and dropping it in a special bed. Well,
26:00
Speaker 1: of course they don't come home with a deathly stuff,
26:02
Speaker 1: but back in the has mat suit. But dropping this
26:04
Speaker 1: stuff in a special bag and washing this close set
26:07
Speaker 1: and then we have we tried to be We tried
26:09
Speaker 1: to use the caution that we knew we had to use.
26:12
Speaker 1: We also used the mindset because even though we're strong
26:18
Speaker 1: and healthy, there are a lot of people that I'm not.
26:21
Speaker 1: That's why I can't understand why nobody wants to wear
26:25
Speaker 1: were not nobody, but a lot of people get upset
26:28
Speaker 1: about wearing the mask. I'm just gonna be upfront with
26:32
Speaker 1: everybody about this. I've suffered from a fear. Uh had
26:37
Speaker 1: an ape. I've had a fear for the last four
26:39
Speaker 1: years and all for a lot of people don't know.
26:41
Speaker 1: The thing is that said, it's really a heart rhythm.
26:44
Speaker 1: That's what I had. So it was hard, kind of
26:47
Speaker 1: hard to breathe. Sometimes I get a little rinded, you
26:50
Speaker 1: know what I mean, blue winded. And I was always
26:51
Speaker 1: a kind of put live. I'm always moved. That's a
26:56
Speaker 1: dance as I talked. That's a good In fact, of course,
26:59
Speaker 1: something hit me like that. When I thought it was
27:01
Speaker 1: bron Pikes and I thought I had eight fe m,
27:03
Speaker 1: I said, want to hear the lad bit. So we
27:06
Speaker 1: told me what it was and I was in the hospital.
27:08
Speaker 1: I went to the emergency you know, I told my
27:09
Speaker 1: daughter my husband wasn't home, and I guess I used
27:12
Speaker 1: restatory therapist. He came on and I said, bad, check
27:14
Speaker 1: out the step and check me check measing what I said, cleave.
27:18
Speaker 1: I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breath. He said, well, look,
27:20
Speaker 1: let me shot with bok and I said, noe Shan
27:21
Speaker 1: tells on the way. So my daughter took me to
27:23
Speaker 1: the emergency. When I got to emergency, they said, miss Payden,
27:26
Speaker 1: what happened? I said, I can't breathe. They started running
27:30
Speaker 1: and hearing on and they took like a few hours
27:32
Speaker 1: or whatever. And then I said, yes, then it's a

28:10
Speaker 1: And I'm seven years old this year about a sixt

Speaker 1: all get up. And though, because I'm not used to
28:20
Speaker 1: be in the hospital and people don't know, they're like

Speaker 1: So the next day I said, okay, then can I
28:25
Speaker 1: go home? And they said no. And when they came in,
28:27
Speaker 1: they had on mask and they put stuff on the

Speaker 1: what happened, you know, we gotta do some extra some
28:40
Speaker 1: more um exams, so whatever it is, and so uh,

31:59
Speaker 1: of the friends already going back. And then because I
32:02
Speaker 1: want to look kids in there got you know, COVID
32:05
Speaker 1: and that want of teachers got to teach us back
32:06
Speaker 1: and not a look kid will be back too. Well.
32:09
Speaker 1: The pandemic it's a dangerous thing, not only in the schools,
32:14
Speaker 1: in the homes, in the in the in the the
32:17
Speaker 1: for sure, in the hospitals, on the streets and where
32:19
Speaker 1: the else. But if I if I had to say
32:23
Speaker 1: something that really came from my heart about this whole situation,
32:29
Speaker 1: it's not gonna su mass. It might stay right. And
32:36
Speaker 1: somebody else's say it's not an easy thing. And the
32:39

32:54
Speaker 1: lost a few cousins and a few friends, so it
32:57
Speaker 1: is personal. But I know this. People want to day school,
33:00
Speaker 1: not just the little kids like my grand daby, the
33:02
Speaker 1: college students because they like that interaction. They like that
33:06
Speaker 1: professor stand up there. They're like that, they're like that
33:08
Speaker 1: dialogue between each other. And we don't do whatever we
33:12
Speaker 1: have to do in order to continue to learn and education.
33:15
Speaker 1: And we're gonna help them. We're gonna help all these kids,
33:17
Speaker 1: even if we have to be virtual a little bit more.

33:21

33:24
Speaker 1: young people going back into the bit. The more they're
33:26

35:20
Speaker 1: I went in I never worked. It was years ago
35:22
Speaker 1: and this was Morris Brown. I was visiting, but I went.
35:27
Speaker 1: I was at Morris Brown and it's at the time
35:28
Speaker 1: when they were dissolving. Things were going down, and h
35:31
Speaker 1: one of my daughter's friends was there and all the
35:33
Speaker 1: kids ran out and I felt so bad as they
35:36
Speaker 1: thought I came there a saved the student. If I
35:37
Speaker 1: if I could have saved I actually I would here
35:43
Speaker 1: by the same token. Florida Memorial is our historical black
35:46
Speaker 1: houge down here in the Miami, and I go out
35:49
Speaker 1: there and do things for them also. But one of
35:52
Speaker 1: the first times I actually got a chance to go
35:54
Speaker 1: beyond the theater, Blue Roads perform noting, which is basically
35:57
Speaker 1: where all the roads do. Whatever I had to do,
35:59
Speaker 1: and I watched the kids probably whatever. I had to
36:01
Speaker 1: go around because one of my my my girlfriends taught
36:04
Speaker 1: music out They talk instruments and things by ln and stuff,
36:08
Speaker 1: and so I had to go around to the back
36:09
Speaker 1: of the college. When I got went to the back
36:10
Speaker 1: of the college, I sat in my car for about
36:13
Speaker 1: five minutes and a crime and I said, oh my god,
36:17
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they need help so bad. I said.
36:19
Speaker 1: I was always in the front. I always saw what
36:22
Speaker 1: they wanted me to see. That time I saw what
36:26
Speaker 1: I needed. So when I say that our boys family
36:31
Speaker 1: needs it, all of our agecies, colleges, college and universities needed,
36:38
Speaker 1: do you want to see what they what a lot
36:40
Speaker 1: of them want you to see, and some of them
36:42
Speaker 1: and for the most part what you see it's what
36:45
Speaker 1: it is. But if you see something that's not what
36:48
Speaker 1: it is, let your heart tell you to help make
36:52
Speaker 1: it better, because there's always gonna be some young people
36:55
Speaker 1: that want to go beyond what they already know. They
36:59
