00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:01.760
BLA Talk fifteen eighty.
2
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:04.960
I feel like I'm co hosting the show with the
3
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.439
great Tavis Smiley or on a podcast or something. He
4
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.320
is the owner of this radio station. He's an iconic
5
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.919
broadcaster and author and in case you didn't know, now
6
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.480
you know an activist.
7
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:18.800
Tavis Smiley.
8
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.120
Good morning, Good morning, down people. How we use my
9
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.920
honor to be on your program, and thank you for
10
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:23.839
sharing your space.
11
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:24.879
Absolutely.
12
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.160
Tabas comes on of course at nine Pacific every day.
13
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.640
But we have been in a bit of a dust
14
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.119
up with Southern California Edison. They promised to do our
15
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.679
town hall which is today, which is still happening at four.
16
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.280
You can still register at KBLA fifteen eighty dot com.
17
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.880
Then they renegged. Then they've been sending out emails. Yesterday
18
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.159
they had a town hall of their own, trying to
19
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.280
circumvent our town hall, which was really weird. They did
20
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.039
it virtually. I say really weird because James tells me
21
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.439
they opened the town hall talking about KBLA.
22
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.320
That's correct, That's what I hear. So go figure. They
23
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.400
opened the town hall last night, as Dominique said, talking
24
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.079
about KBLA. So we clearly hit a nerve there's a
25
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.719
there's a story out today in Pasadena. Now, I encourage
26
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:11.599
you to read it. Just go to Pasadena now and
27
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:13.480
see the story that I'm referencing, so you'll know once
28
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.000
a game that I am telling you the truth. In
29
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.560
this story. They continue to advance these lies. But they
30
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.920
say in this story that they have offered to come
31
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.760
on the Tavis Smiley Show. Now I know nothing of that,
32
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.719
but I am here this morning to say for the
33
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.599
record and on the air for Southern California Edison to
34
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.719
hear that we are officially sending an invitation today to
35
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:44.480
mister Pissarro to appear on my program for the hour
36
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.879
in studio so that he can take these cushions today. No,
37
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.480
we're sending the invitation out today. Ye. It'll be scheduled
38
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.400
at his convenience. As you and this audience know, I'm
39
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.840
on every day, three hours a day, four days a week,
40
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.239
best of on Friday, but for this I'll come in
41
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.480
on Friday. So he has five days a week, three
42
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:06.599
hours a day to choose from to appear on our
43
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.919
program for an hour in studio to talk about these
44
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:14.039
particular issues. Since they said they want to come on
45
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.159
the Tavis Smiley show. That's a specific reference in the
46
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.479
article doesn't say KBLA, it says Tavis Smiley. So here
47
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.800
is Tavis Smiley in person, saying out loud, and my
48
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:28.080
team today will officially send the invite I want them
49
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:32.879
to see. Additionally, tonight this has really bothered me. Tonight
50
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.759
they will see at this town hall that there will
51
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.360
be no Planet's attorneys, no Plantice attorneys on stage, none
52
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.960
at the microphone. So when you think about this, and
53
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.039
this is what black people deal with, we endure this
54
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.439
all the time, day in and day out. We have
55
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.240
said to Southern California Edison repeatedly, there are no plaintiff
56
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.599
attorneys involved in this. They're not sponsoring, they're not going
57
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.199
to be on stage, they're not going to be at
58
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:01.080
the mic. They're not involved in any way whatsoever evidence
59
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.199
to prove that. As I said on your program a
60
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.960
couple days ago, we sent them the promo that we're
61
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.599
running that does not mention Quen Emanuel. We sent them
62
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.439
the press release that went out citywide and inviting the
63
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.400
media to cover tonight does not mention Queen Emmanuel. We
64
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.759
sent them the law firm exactly. We sent them a
65
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.639
number of pieces of material to make it abundantly clear
66
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.280
that no plaintiffs, lawyers, Queen E Manual, or any other
67
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.680
firm are involved in tonight's gathering. So that means one
68
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:28.400
of two things. Either you're calling me a liar.
69
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.319
That's what I took away from it.
70
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.840
Either you disbelieve what we're telling you. We are a
71
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.000
reputable talk radio and new station. So either you're calling
72
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:41.319
us a liar number one. Number two, you just don't
73
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.919
have any respect for black voices and black people. Or
74
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.960
number three, there's another reason if we're telling you they're
75
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.159
not coming, and you keep advancing that lie, and we've
76
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.639
sent you the evidence, and here's the bottom line. After tonight,
77
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.039
you will clearly see that no plaintiffs, lawyers were there,
78
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.639
could have been.
79
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.039
There, right, And it's not Jerry Springer, And it's not
80
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:04.319
going to be like Jerry Springer.
81
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.400
I don't do Jerry Springer. Yeah, you don't do Jerry Springer.
82
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.439
I mean, we don't do that around here at KB.
83
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.919
We are engage radio, not outrage radio. And that's what
84
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.519
we do. We engaged, not outraged.
85
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.600
But the thing about it is they're still invited. So
86
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.720
if they should happen to show up at four o'clock
87
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:22.279
at the church.
88
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.680
Come on and get some Come on, come on, I'll
89
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:25.639
find another chair for you.
90
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.839
It's not as a matter of fact, I never disinvited them, as.
91
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.560
You never disinvited them. As a matter of fact, there'll
92
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.920
be an empty seat on the stage tonight. I've already
93
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.439
told the handlers make sure I have an empty chair
94
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.639
on the stage just in case they walk in. I'm
95
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.759
going to invite them to take a seat, and we
96
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.040
got some questions for them now, I don't expect that's
97
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.279
going to happen. What we do have tonight is a
98
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.759
brother named Andrew Wessels. He is himself an Altadena Eating
99
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.040
Canyon fire survivor in Alta, Dina, father of two, but
100
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.839
he's also the strategy director for the Eating Fire Survivors Network,
101
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.319
where he co authored this report called Fix What You Broke.
102
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.639
It's a community report on Edison's compensation plan, and he
103
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.399
analyze five hundred stories to produce the State Farm files
104
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.959
documenting State Farm's illegal claims practices. So what we do
105
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.199
have tonight added to the rundown is mister Wessel's who
106
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.519
has witness report Fixed What You Broke about this settlement
107
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.279
fund so instead of Southern California Edison wouldn't show up.
108
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.120
We got a consumer advocate who has read this report
109
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.040
front and back. They've engaged with Southern California Edison. They
110
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.399
have their own report out about this settlement fund. It's
111
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.000
called Fix What You Broke. So we're gonna put him
112
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.560
in one of those chairs tonight and I'm gonna spend
113
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.680
some time asking him all the pertinent questions about this
114
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.639
particular settlement. Fun we say the black folk all the time,
115
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.360
survivors in Altadena measure twice cut once. But tonight we
116
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.040
are going to get some answers about this settlement from fund,
117
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.079
from a consumer advocate who has written a report. Once again,
118
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.319
it's called Fixed What You Broke. More to the point,
119
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.399
mister Wessel's will be on my program. What time is
120
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.959
it now? Dominique went fifteen past the hour, so in
121
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.279
fifty minutes at the time of my show today at
122
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.120
nine o'clock Pacific time, mister West's would join me for
123
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.920
the first half hour just to warm up. He's be
124
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.839
in the bullpen to be in the bullpen, Go Dodgers
125
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.680
World Champions. He'll be in the bullpen for thirty minutes
126
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.240
to day at the top of my show nine to
127
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.920
nine thirty Pacific time, just to warm this up. And
128
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.360
then tonight I'm gonna cut him loose to go deeper
129
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.439
into what this settlement fund is all about. So but
130
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.319
just a taste of information about what the real deal
131
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.160
is regarding this fund. Andrew Wes's on our program today
132
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.800
from nine to nine thirty. But again, either you're calling
133
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.600
us a liar, or there's some other reason why you're
134
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:36.199
not showing up.
135
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:37.720
Could be true.
136
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:38.639
They could all be true.
137
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.279
Could be calling you a liar, there's another reason, you
138
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.120
know what I mean, And it's just gaslighting.
139
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.519
Yeah, it is. That's what it is, gaslighting because again,
140
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.079
if we provide the evidence that no one is there,
141
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.959
and again the ultimate answer is tonight. Tonight, we're live
142
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.600
by the way. If you can't be there, you can
143
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.319
listen today of course on KBLA Talk at ten eighty
144
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.920
four to six pm. I'll be moderating the first hour,
145
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.560
James Farr, my colleague, moderating the second hour. So we're
146
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.120
live four to six pm to day on the station.
147
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:08.439
But if you can make it, we'd love to have
148
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.879
you in person at Victory Bible Church as Dominique said
149
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.560
KBLA fifteen to eighty dot com just to register them,
150
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.600
so all free refreshments after the two panels. But again,
151
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.959
we are going to officially send a letter to mister Pizzars.
152
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.240
As they keep advancing this notion that they want a
153
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.279
one on one conversation, well I'm gonna give it to you.
154
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.720
Well, but again, I mean, I think that's a compromise
155
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.360
on your part and I commend you for that, Tavis.
156
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:30.879
But again, they don't want.
157
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:31.600
To face the community.
158
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:32.040
They don't.
159
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.279
Now the fallback is, oh, well we'll come on, mister
160
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.519
Smiley show. I'm going to withhold my comment. Come on,
161
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.000
because we still want them to come if they are
162
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.240
willing to do so, since you're extending your platform. But
163
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.720
to me, the biggest tell is when they did their
164
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.879
town supposed town halls. Prior to this, they were only
165
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.720
listening sessions where the community was allowed to talk but
166
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.399
not get any answers, So they were collecting data from
167
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.399
the community but not providing any answers. What I call
168
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.759
an infomercial. Their town hall yesterday which was also virtual,
169
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.560
so they were not willing to come where the people are,
170
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.800
and to me, those are the biggest tells. You can
171
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.680
say it's about Planeiff Council, you can say it's about
172
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.120
you know, uh, you can call us liars. But the
173
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.600
fact is this is a pattern for them. They've been
174
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.519
avoiding that's right, showing up in the community. So all
175
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.000
of that seems like BS.
176
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.040
Well, one thing's for certain. Tonight they will see that
177
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.079
there are no Planet's attorneys involved in this, and they
178
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.800
could have been there. Number one. Number two, the invite
179
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.959
will go out. And by the way, let me just
180
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.600
add when the invite goes out, We're gonna start a
181
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.519
clock on all of our socials on our website. I'm
182
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.759
gonna start a clock from the moment the invitation hits
183
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.000
the email. We'll start a clock and see how long
184
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.799
it takes them to confirm to show up, so that
185
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.720
people will know exactly when mister Bizzar will appear on
186
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.840
our program. But I can guarantee you this right now.
187
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.039
You heard it first on first things first, for Dominic
188
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.320
du Prima, if you can't show up to the town
189
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.200
hall to talk to the community, but then you gas
190
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.720
light once again and say we'll come on for a
191
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.159
one on one on mister Smiley Show, and you can't
192
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.759
make that happen. I'm telling you any day you want,
193
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.960
pick your day, pick your hour, five days a week,
194
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.559
three hours a day, you're welcome to come in studio
195
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.879
and we can talk for an hour. If they then.
196
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.440
They're gonna say there's PLANEFFS council on your show.
197
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:19.159
You see this, I see there's PLANETFS counsel in the studio.
198
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.600
So we can't show up counsel in the bathroom. But
199
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.480
the invitation will go out today since they keep advancing
200
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.360
this notion. If that's what they want, we can give
201
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.279
it to them and I will. I will stand in
202
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.399
for the community for an hour conversation with mister Bizzarro
203
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.679
whatever day he chooses to come to KBLA Talk fifteen eighty.
204
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.360
But tonight four to six pm, Victory Bible Church in

225
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.960
Tavis Smiley, thank you so much and thanks for the
226
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.519
advocacy on behalf of the people of Altadena.
227
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:41.440
We are partners in this and I'm grateful for your
228
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.320
space on this program.
229
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:42.639
Thank you.
230
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.559
Yes, looking forward to talking with that Jan Maurice, he's here.
231
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.519
You know, he's an actor, he's a director. He's also
232
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.200
the founder of Walk Go to LA and Film Good La.
233
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:55.120
If you didn't know. That's the thing. You're about to
234
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.679
know a lot more about it. That's next on KBLA
235
00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:03.480
Top fifteen eighty And Maurice is here in the studio live.
236
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.559
He's a multi talented individual, community organizer and actor, director
237
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.559
and the visionary founder of Walk Good La. It's a
238
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.320
nonprofit organization. You probably know a lot about them if
239
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.360
you listen to gaby La because we run a PSA
240
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.639
about Walk Good La all the time.
241
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.919
Welcome, thank you, it's a tradition. Now to be back.
242
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.200
Yay, I'm glad. It's a tradition. Yes, you guys do
243
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:29.240
so much. I mean community activism, feeding people. The response
244
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.840
to the fire of your fire response was incredible.
245
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:35.799
And now responding to those who've been affected by Hurricane
246
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.840
Listen in Jamaica, we've raised over two hundred thousand dollars.
247
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:40.519
Wow.
248
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.320
Right now we.
249
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.919
Are working towards getting the funds to families and organizations
250
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.120
that are on the ground in Jamaica right now who
251
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.440
have been affected. It's really devastating. Talking with my cousins,
252
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.879
talking with all my friends who are on the island.
253
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.399
You know a lot of people they know Jamaica for
254
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.559
the music, the food, the culture. But I think what
255
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.759
people don't know about Jamaicans is that we're resilient people.
256
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.279
But there's a lot of a devastation that is running
257
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.679
rampant across the island. If you think about it, there
258
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.519
are are two of our biggest sources of income on
259
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:20.080
the island is agriculture and tourism, and because of Hurricane Melissa,
260
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.639
two of those things have been completely torn down and
261
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.320
they're working towards rebuilding and so who knows how long
262
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.080
it's going to take, but it's going to take some time.
263
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.720
Yeah, it's really sad and it's amazing you know, the
264
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.399
work you're doing. I guess if people want to send
265
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.600
money to Jamaica, they can send money to you and
266
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.320
you'll get it to.
267
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:42.639
The text five three five five five, text walk good Jamaica.
268
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.960
All one word five three five five five and text
269
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.120
walk good Jamaica. You can also go on our Instagram.
270
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.440
That's the first post on our Instagram if you'd like
271
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.360
to donate through our Instagram campaign. Our goal initially was
272
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.120
twenty five thousand dollars and then the video the photos
273
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.919
that we've been posting on our socials have gone viral
274
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.559
and people have been finding ways to support. So now
275
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.440
I'm just in constant communication with our boots on the
276
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.600
ground in Jamaica to find ways in which we can
277
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.279
support all the different parishes in Jamaica. We have parishes
278
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.559
in the United States, we would be states, right, So
279
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.039
Jamaica has fourteen different parishes and out of the fourteen,
280
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:28.399
about six to eight of those parishes have been damaged tremendously.
281
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.799
Wow, that's a huge number.
282
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:35.679
And Saint Elizabeth is the parish that has been affected
283
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.759
the most. But if you also think about it, Jamaica
284
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.600
has a lot of hills, a lot of mountains, and
285
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.200
a lot of those hills and mountains is on like
286
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.360
one road to get there, and so all the trees
287
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:51.679
that have you know, literally blocked all these roads. There
288
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.519
are so many people that have been unaccounted for, bodies
289
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.639
that have been unaccounted for. Right now, from what I
290
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.200
saw my phone recently is I think up to the forties. So,
291
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.399
you know, still getting as much information as possible. So
292
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.840
it's really all hands on deck when it comes to
293
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.960
what's happening in Jamaica, that's happening in the Caribbean.
294
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.559
It's so so sad. Yeah, I know, Cuba's been hit
295
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:17.120
pretty hard too. But I've never been to Jamaica, but
296
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.279
I've heard so much about it, and I'm glad people
297
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.000
are stepping up.
298
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.360
Yes, you must, you must go go to Jamaica.
299
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.759
Yeah, well, now we have to go because as the
300
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.960
tourism bounces back, we're going to have to be part
301
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:27.720
of the bounce back.
302
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.080
Yes, there's a saying in Jamaica. Every every michel, Macha muchel.
303
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.279
You just know that everything counts, every person that wants
304
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.320
to support every no matter if it's a dollar, or
305
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.639
matter if it's five dollars. I just know you're doing
306
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:40.000
your part.
307
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:40.799
That's dope.
308
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.399
You can text a walk go Jamaica five three five
309
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.399
five five. So you guys do a lot of stuff.
310
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.360
It's amazing. And we're coming up on if it wasn't walking,
311
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.919
it wasn't yoga, it wasn't community service. The second Annual
312
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:55.759
Film and Wellness Festival.
313
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.879
Ye third, third is third?
314
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:58.120
Okay? So third?
315
00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:58.559
Wow?
316
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.960
Yeah? Three years is because last year was our second
317
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:06.519
one and this year we were very intentional about this
318
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.399
festival being an independently run film and wellness festival. We
319
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.759
didn't get any support from any studios We've been getting
320
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.320
a lot of support from from the community. A big
321
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.799
shout out to be Greater Than for offering their services
322
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.279
to support us just so that we can get the
323
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:30.399
word out there. Shout out to the Diva Foundation, my
324
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.919
mom's nonprofit that has supported us from the beginning. Just
325
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:40.480
just a plethora officient scripts there. They're another community organization
326
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:46.720
centered around galvanizing black and brown writers to get their
327
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.600
work shown but also critiqued by other industry professionals. And
328
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:55.919
another amazing organization, Seen and Heard, led by my brother
329
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.080
Michael Michael Oh. He is currently starring and Ja Ja's
330
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.000
Hair Braiding Studio, and I don't know how he's leading
331
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.480
an artist organization while while doing all the amazing things
332
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:13.200
he's doing on and off stage. But my focus with
333
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.720
this festival was focus on the collaboration and focus on
334
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.519
the artists, because right now, if you are a filmmaker,
335
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.080
for you're a creator, if you're a storyteller, you might
336
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:29.240
be a little frustrated in how the industry is shaping
337
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.960
to be right now, and especially in regards to how
338
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.000
to get your work out there, how to show your work,
339
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.799
but most importantly to be inspired, to be empowered and
340
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.799
that's what we're doing with Film Good this year.
341
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.360
So many things to unpack on what you just said.
342
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.039
I want to start with you said, you're very intentional
343
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:50.559
about not having a specific sponsor. Everybody got sponsors. Why
344
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:52.120
is that important for this project?
345
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.120
Well, like I said, I wanted to focus more on
346
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.559
the community and support from the community and really want
347
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.799
to rely on that. Yes, sponsors would would be great,
348
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.919
but I didn't want to have to play that that
349
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.599
political game on like, you know, showing a specific project.
350
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.519
I really literally called up all my friends who are
351
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.039
currently working in TV in film right now, and it's
352
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.680
and far few and far in between right now of
353
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.119
creators who are working.
354
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:21.359
Yeah, I mean the normal SAG working rate is what
355
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.920
three and it's lower now because there's not much happening.
356
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.519
Yeah, And I just posted a video yesterday just sharing
357
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.000
with people my story and why I was passionate about
358
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.519
this film festival. You know, when I was up and
359
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:39.880
coming and working with the African American Film Critics Association,
360
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.519
I was directing their award shows and I would be
361
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.039
placing these rooms with these these stars, these megastars, from
362
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:50.480
Denzel to Jamie Fox, Quincy Jones. Rest in peace and
363
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.160
I remember just being in this space and being like,
364
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.799
I want to do that. And now here I am
365
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.480
ten years later, still doing this work in my own way.
366
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.720
You know, I found myself networking along the journey. And
367
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.200
if I didn't show up as my best self as
368
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.279
a producer, as a filmmaker, as an actor, I don't
369
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:17.279
think I would have maintained those relationships with those that
370
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.640
I met ten years ago. And so now, because of
371
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.960
the platform that that I've built with my family, with
372
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.119
walk Good, We've become a trusted voice. We've we've become
373
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.799
a trusted community where anybody who I would just ask
374
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.079
a favor, people would understand, yes, I'm gonna do this
375
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:35.200
because I love you. I love the work you're doing,
376
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.079
and I trust your heart and that is something that
377
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:38.000
I don't take lightly.
378
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:38.519
Yeah.
379
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.839
And it's also a specific model, yeah, you know, because
380
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.519
you got to It's not that easy.
381
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.599
To earn trust in La now.
382
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.640
It is funny place, shady people.
383
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.880
Yeah. And we have the show me theory. Yeah, you know,
384
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:54.319
we don't want to hear it show.
385
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.240
Me, Yeah, you gotta do it. Yeah, what was that
386
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.400
song show me?
387
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.559
Show me good God?
388
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.519
Exactly So, and when you reference I mean, we only
389
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.440
have a couple of minutes here before news, traffic and sports.
390
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.960
We're gonna continue on the other side. But you reference
391
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:14.160
the climate that we're in right now, and I didn't
392
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.839
know if you were talking about AI, the fact that
393
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.640
the streamers are contracting the production that they do, the
394
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.319
post strike sort of malaise, or all of the above.
395
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:28.039
I mean, even when I'm when I'm looking at at
396
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.200
Variety or Variety or Hollywood Reporter, they just dropped the
397
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:36.680
list of like thirty five top executives under forty and
398
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:39.480
none of them were black. And I feel like there
399
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:45.519
is something strategic that that always happens year after year,
400
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.759
decade after decade, where you know, black folks, we make
401
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.480
these corporations a lot of money and then we're just
402
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.160
left on the back end with nothing to show for it. Well, no,
403
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.559
we have everything to show for it, but we're not
404
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.240
We're never honored, and I feel like community is what
405
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.079
is going to get us through that and to show
406
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:11.640
that it is possible and having to remind I feel
407
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.920
like what we're doing with film good. We're gonna have
408
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:17.960
to build our own systems. And I think anybody who
409
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.519
is listening to me right now who is a storyteller
410
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.480
and is trying to figure it out. Stop waiting on
411
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.799
these studios to tell you, Yes, you gotta tell your
412
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.240
own story. We have the means to do so, but
413
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.720
we have to be very strategic on how you build
414
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.680
your own community because if you build it, the people
415
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.720
will see your heart and they will follow.
416
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:45.039
That's such a good point, especially when this contraction. You're
417
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.640
talking about those top film executives. I have to wonder
418
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.240
does DEI play a role? Because automatically, if you're black
419
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:54.119
and you're doing anything, you know it's your own company, They're.
420
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:55.680
Gonna say it's DEI so.
421
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:01.119
And I've heard executives, top level executive and university faculty
422
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.759
administration saying, well, we don't want to bring in too
423
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:08.200
many black people because it's going to look like DEI so. Again,
424
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.519
the argument for building our own systems at n Maurice
425
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:16.599
is here. The Walk Good La Films and Wellness Festival
426
00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:18.839
is on. Tell you how to get in and what's
427
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.960
happening when we come forward on KBLA Talk fifteen eight. Okay,
428
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:27.680
so it is the Walk Good Film and Wellness Festival.
429
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.000
I don't know a lot of film festivals that have
430
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.839
a wellness component, but it's walk good La, So I
431
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:34.920
guess that's what we should expect, right, I had to.
432
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.359
I mean healing comes in all forms. Yeah, it doesn't
433
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.440
just have to be yoga or mindfulness meditation. But creation
434
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.960
is healing. Being able, the ability to create, I think
435
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:50.799
not only transforms culture but also transforms your mind too,
436
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.160
how you think, how you see things. And filming is
437
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:57.759
Filmmaking has been a part of my healing journey. And
438
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:02.319
so we have a bunch of a main sessions. A
439

00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.680
But if you go to and the Walk Good Yard,
506
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:38.759
because that's our studio space, the creative so beautiful, thank you,
507
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:41.039
Right in the heart of Los Angeles, right on the
508
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.519
corner of Norton and Pico. That is a few blocks
509
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.240
east of Crenshaw, right across the street from Catch One.
510
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.400
If you're from l A and you you've been, you know,
511

you know l A. You might have been to Catch

00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:53.480
One right across the street.
513
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:59.319
Yes beautiful, Yes, indeed, Catch One is legendary. But you know,
514
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:01.400
it reminds me of New York because it's one of
515
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.480
those places you see it from the outside, it doesn't
516
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:06.200
look like much, but when you walk in, it's palatial
517
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:06.880
and beautiful.
518
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.200

00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.039

I forget, I loved your Christmas movie last year.
558
00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:58.440
So sometimes you got to get some popcorn.
559
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.839
And you know, some snacks and chill and watch something
560
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.519

00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:09.799

00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:13.279
holiday slate. It's going to be on HBO, Max and
564
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:19.160
the Oprah Winfrey Network and it is premiering November twenty ninth,
565
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:23.839
Oka and it is called Fake Yourself, A Merry Little Christmas,
566
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:29.480
starring myself and Kiki Lane. She was the lead in
567
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.480
If Beale Street Could Talk, and she's an amazing actress.
568
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.519
And we're so excited to be able to show this
569
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.880
beautiful film and I can't wait for y'all to watch it.
570
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:44.920
It's one of three films on the own for the
571
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.880
holiday slate, so ours the first one, Like I said,
572
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:53.119
November twenty ninth. And then the second one stars Loretta Devine,
573
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:58.319
who's a dear family friend and my auntie. And then
574
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:00.640
the third one stars my best friend who was the
575
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.680
best man in my wedding, Kristin mack Wilde's. So it's
576
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.960
like a whole family affair.
577
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:10.799
All my amazing, that's coincidence, I assume. Yeah, literally, that's God.
578
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.480
Look at God as they say, Okay, but fake yourself
579
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:16.599
a merry little Christmas. I can't remember the name of
580
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:17.599
the film last year.
581
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:20.880
Yeah, Mistletoone and Matrimonial. I love all these corny little
582
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:24.000
Christmas names. Yeah, that's that's part of the business.
583
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.480
It is.
584
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:29.119

585
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:29.559

special about the last day after film Good. We have
596
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:08.599
a premiere of a very special film called Ricky. It
597
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:12.480
premiered at sun Dance last year, and it's a film
598
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:16.519
about recidivism, a young man who just comes out of
599
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:20.079
out of out of prison and trying to adapt back
600
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:25.359
into society in Connecticut. And it stars Stephan James, who's
601
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:28.680
also in beal Streek. If Bill Street could talk, the
602
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.680
Barry Jenkins film.
603
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:30.440
It is a great movie.
604
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.319
Yea, and then and then my mom also as well.
605
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:36.200
It's starting on the film. So it's I'm excited to
606
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:39.759
be able to to use my platform with Film Good
607
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:43.039
and have this screening of a very important film that
608
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:44.440
I feel like people need to watch.
609
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:49.720
Amazing atm maurice is my guest, and you're listening and
610
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.319
watching KBLA Talk fifteen eighty.
611
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:54.240
What do you think, Miles, can you handle?
612
00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:58.839
Atm maurice is is being very very generous. He's willing
613
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.480
to give away one more are all access paths? Can
614
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:04.440
you handle the barrage of phone calls? Miles said, bring it,
615
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.200
bring it caller fifteen right now, eight hundred and nine,
616
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.279
two oh fifteen eighty, eight hundred nine, two oh fifteen
617
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:11.839
eighty beat talk to him nicely.
618
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.839
That's what I said fifteen, Come on collar fifteen.
619
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.240
So one of the things that I don't want to
620
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:21.240
say I complain, but one of the things I critique
621
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:26.640
about our wonderful, beautiful la is that we don't always
622
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:28.799
develop the talent that we have here.
623
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:30.160
People come from all over the.
624
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.640
World to be actors, directors, writers, gaffers, whatever, but we
625
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.359
don't always we don't always reach in, particularly in African
626
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.000
American and Latino neighborhoods, reach in and develop homegrown talent.
627
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:43.799
This is a company town. So it sounds like you
628
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:46.519
guys are stepping into the space that we are.
629
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.839
We are and in a real genuine, authentic way. Like
630
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:52.359
you know, we've been building this community for the last
631
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:55.799
five years, and you know, we've had some of the
632
00:31:55.920 --> 00:32:01.119
biggest stars step step foot into the walk Yard. Michael B.
633
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:04.400
Jordan was the person who helped us get the walk
634
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.440
Good Yard. You know, we've had Zendaya pull up in
635
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:11.720
into our space. Uh, you know, Lena Wathe produces her
636
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:15.160
her Legacy Talks podcast in our studio. And so we've
637
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:19.400
had some amazing talent feel uh the walk Good space
638
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.279
with their love and energy and uh, and I feel
639
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.559
like it's it's it's our duty to pass it forward,
640
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.000
and I think we want to be able to develop
641
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:34.880
talent but also inspire and empower the next storyteller. I
642
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.160
think when it comes down to you know, TV and film,
643
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:41.759
especially in Hollywood, it can be very exclusionary. But we
644
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:46.240
want to make sure that, uh, your wellness practice, your
645
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:50.920
creative practice is inclusive. Everybody should have a shot to
646
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.519
be able to tell their story and also hone their craft.
647
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:55.880
They're serious about it, and.
648
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.960
The way you put that, I think is powerful. Me
649
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.319
and Miles we're talking to this morning. He's a rap artist,
650
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:04.559
you know, and I'm also a writer besides doing radio
651
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.480
and other things. It's like you got to get into
652
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.960
a groove where you're doing your art because you love
653
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:14.599
it and because it's what you want to say, not
654
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.799
according to a formula about what Hollywood thinks is going
655
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:21.240
to be successful or what some consultant told you would
656
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:22.799
amplify your brand.
657
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.079
You got to trust your own voice, right And I
658
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:30.640
think I think now in the age of AI, it's
659
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.240
easy to just put in a prompt and just let
660
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:36.759
the computer spit it back to you, you know, but
661
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:38.839
it takes a lot of work and a lot of
662
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.240
courage to sit in stillness and to be able to
663
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:46.240
let those words come to you and following your own intuition,
664
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.599
I think is also a part of the healing journey.
665
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:51.519
Yeah, you just gave me a great idea.
666
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.039
KBLA.
667
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:56.200
Who's this?
668
00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:57.559
This is Diane Dottie.
669
00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:59.240
Finally we got a woman.
670
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:04.000
Diane. You're kid, Diane, you're a winner.
671
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.559
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
672
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.360
You are going to film good well the Film and
673
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.079
Wellness festivals. But we all need more creativity and more
674
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.159

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:39.960

00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:40.960

make sure you get your pass.
687
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.000
I love hearing the excitement and everybody's voice in a
688
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:54.199
program that we're building.
689
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:58.480
It's exciting, exciting. I mean, you've got big names, but
690
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:03.519
you also have oportunities for everyone. You know, and even
691
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:05.360
if I don't want to be an actor, a director,
692
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:06.320
a producer, or a writer.
693
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.280
I can go watch movies, just watch a movie. I
694
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.519
can go do yoga. You can go network.
695
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:13.159
Yeah, and that's another thing. Thank you for bringing that up.
696
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:18.119
On Sunday, we have a very special Candlelight yoga flow
697
00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:22.519
after the Ricky screening. My co founder, my cousin im
698
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:26.840
Stay Marley Ray. She's going to be leading a live
699
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:31.480
yoga class with the Don Brown Collective. They're amazing jazz
700
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:35.719
group here in Los Angeles and they're going to play
701
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:40.360
music from scores from black films. Wow, it's going to
702
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.679
be a dope yoga experience.
703
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:43.400
That's a whole three D kind of thing.
704
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.639
You got going on, fully immersive experience.
705
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:49.840
The fourth dimension might be in there.
706
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:55.159
How important is that whether it's a yoga practice, excuse me,
707
00:35:55.159 --> 00:36:01.880
meditation or even prayer church for we are staying balanced
708
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.199
and grounded in this industry in Hollywood.
709
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:11.800
I mean prayer, meditation, healing has movement has saved my life,
710
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.199
as you know, like I'm a survivor of gun violence.
711
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.719
You know, I've I've been placed on a psychiatric hold.
712
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.039
I've dealt with my own mental health challenges, but it's
713
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:27.039
because of the prayers of my grandparents, of my mother,
714
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:31.199
my family, that I was able to overcome those challenges.
715
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:34.480
And I know, without a shadow of a doubt, if
716
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:37.360
I had a Walk Good in my life when I
717
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:41.000
was going through those challenges, I wouldn't have made those decisions.
718
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:43.519
I wouldn't have dealt with with substance abuse the way
719
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:47.280
that I did. And I think Walk Good has saved
720
00:36:47.320 --> 00:36:51.639
lives by offering spaces and accessible healing spaces through through
721
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.760
the Walk Good community. I know that we're doing something
722
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:57.480
special in doing something that is going to send a
723
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:02.239
ripple effect beyond on Los Angeles. But you know, my
724
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:05.840
focus is LA because LA has has made me the
725
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:07.840
man that I am today. And I wouldn't be doing
726
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:09.880
this work if I wasn't so passionate about the people
727
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.760
who helped mold me.
728
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:13.519
And that's one of the reasons why we see LA Films,
729
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:19.519
LA Television projects, Los Angeles talent producers, writers there to
730
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:22.119
guide the folks that are participating in the festival.
731
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:26.679
That's right, that's right, And again my focus is making
732
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:31.199
sure that that people are encouraged and they find that
733
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.480
that inspiration when they come to Film Good and they
734
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.079
feel that sense of hope and that they do have
735
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:38.800
a story to tell.
736
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:42.440
You know, I joke that the millennials and gen Z folks,
737
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:44.800
you gots y'all y'all people's.
738
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:45.320
You're not a millennial?
739
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.199
No, not well in my mind, got you just see Dominie,
740
00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:50.920
but that's my passports said.
741
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.039
I might you might be able to just hear her voice,
742
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:54.360
but she is a beautiful woman.
743
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:57.480
You would have thought they're very kind, the millennials and
744
00:37:57.559 --> 00:38:00.880
gen Z. I kind of call it self gentrification, like
745
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:03.159
y'all are fixing up the hood and putting in your
746
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:06.480
coffee shops and your cafes and your yoga studios. But
747
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.679
it's y'all, but y'all live over here already, So it's
748
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:12.119
I don't know if you can really call it gentrification.
749
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:13.599
I mean, we just want to We just want to
750
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.800
make things a little better.
751
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:15.000
That's all.
752
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.280
I love it.
753
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:19.639
But what I gotta say is walking into the walk
754
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.400
good Yard with my other friend who's also not a millennial,
755
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:26.199
we felt one hundred percent comfortable. It was never It's
756
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.440
never like, why are you, you know, gen X old
757
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:30.440
people coming.
758
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.239
In here like I mean, we think about it though,
759
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:37.679
when you think of yoga or meditation, when when when
760
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:41.039
black people when we're involved in these things. When for
761
00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:44.719
me personally, when I was introduced to mindfulness, meditation, yoga,
762
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.280
I didn't think black folks did that, you know, right,
763
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:50.639
But then when I got my yoga certification. I got
764
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:53.719
my yoga yoga certification in South Central with the Tree
765
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:58.199
Yoga cooperation, and it just shifted my perspectives. I was like, oh, no,
766
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:03.440
healing belongs to us too. Yoga started with us, you know,
767
00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:06.079
and I think, you know, when you know, the wellness
768
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:11.360
space got colonized, we were kind of, you know, excommunicado
769
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:15.559
when it came to participating and healing experiences. And I
770
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:21.639
believe we all have our right to heal, whether it's yoga,
771
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:25.239
whether it's running, whether it's hiking, whether it's meditation. We
772
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:27.199
just haven't been exposed to those things. So that's what
773
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:29.079
we want to do with Walk Good, is to be
774
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.559
able to show the next generation that it is your
775
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:32.199
right to hear.
776
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:35.000
The next generation, then the previous generations thank you for
777
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:35.599
modeling that.
778
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:36.280
I told you.
779
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.039
I took up yoga about seven months ago. Never thought
780
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:41.840
I would do it, but I think I admit part
781
00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:43.719
of the inspiration is you guys. You know, I see
782
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:46.440
you guys doing yoga and Kenneth han Park Right. I
783
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:49.480
see the Walk goood Yard is so beautiful and I'm
784
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:50.679
saying you really dominate.
785
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.800
Come on now, you can do it for everybody.
786
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.960
It's for everybody, and it's beautiful and it's fun. So
787
00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:59.440
thank you for modeling that for the old heads and
788
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:00.000
the young head.
789
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:01.800
I appreciate it.
790
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:05.840
And yeah, I mean we have we have an opportunity
791
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.280
right now to mix and mingle, whether it's generationally, or
792
00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.679
ethnic groups or.

Different aspects of the industry.

Everyone's coming together. Tell folks once again what you're doing
795
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:16.599
