00:00What up, Doe? We call this Solutions, Not Slogans. I am Angie Starr, part of the Mason
00:09and Starr Morning Show, and one of our missions is to find solutions, not just slogans. So
00:17today we're going to talk about the youth in Detroit and try to find a solution to end
00:25hunger for young people. We want to find a way to make sure that every kid that's hungry
00:32gets a chance to eat. So I put together some panelists that I think can help find a solution
00:39to this problem. I have a very interesting take. You might agree, might disagree, but
00:44just, you know me, I think a little bit out of the box, but we'll get to what I'm thinking
00:49a little later. But first, I'm going to let my panelists introduce themselves to you.
00:55I'm going to start right here.
00:57Hi, my name is Cass Tretiak. I am an Outreach Navigator with Community and Home Supports.
01:03All right.
01:04Pleasure to be here.
01:06Thank you, Angie Starr, for inviting me. I am the CEO of Make Your Dreams Come True BPO
01:12firm, the founder of the Being That Girl Agency, a serial entrepreneur, community leader, and
01:17thought leader in the community. So I'm all about finding solutions for our community.
01:22Yes, yes. And just a little note. I'm going to come back to you also and then get to you.
01:28We participated together in a back to school festival for kids. I want to say middle school
01:35students and their parents. And I had my little, you know, sunglasses and some little, you know,
01:44radio giveaways and the kids love me. But then all of a sudden I lost my attention and I wondered
01:51what, what could possibly upstage me? And this young lady drove in like the fairy godmother
01:59of toys. And she came in and it's like the kids knew she was going to have like really nice toys
02:06toys that they were like. For example, she had the cowboy and cowgirl hats for boots on the ground.
02:13Like with rhinestones on them, glittery. The parents were fighting the kids for the hats.
02:19But I just, I, that speaks to her passion for young people. And I appreciate that. And that's
02:25why I invited you to this panel because I know you want to give good stuff, not just give something.
02:31But give great gifts. I appreciate that. And that was such an event. And Angie is right. She,
02:37all of the kids are just dancing around her, dancing on her. They're constantly, Angie is
02:42constantly saying, move back. Don't knock the DJ dog, you know, but she's such a great host
02:48for Madison Carver Academy. Shout out to Markeisha Stovall, Principal Stovall, who is outstanding.
02:56And she lets me run my imagination row in her school district. I mean, um, some of the things
03:03that we've done is give the kids front row seats to the Baby Tron, Sada Baby concert. They were able to
03:10get on a stage with them and party with them. We gave away, uh, we bought brand new clothes from
03:16Forman Mills and took them up there from jewelry to clothes to whatever. We did a break fest. We have a
03:22cosmetology clubs there and we put on this really big break. That's where the students
03:27was able to break the teachers, the community and people here for really cheap. And it was packed.
03:32We had food there, music, giveaways, performances, just so many huge experiences that we exposed to them.
03:41And it was no charge to, you know, extra for them to participate simply because we were a part of their
03:46school district and we offer those education. And for me, it's not about exposing to them something
03:52that's already in their reach. Let's give them experiences that, that are beyond their wildest dreams.
03:58So, you know, not to cut you off, but this is how my energy, no, no, no. I love this. That's why I like you.
04:04Yes. But my, my force, I have a force of angels that work with me and they go out and they find people that I think fit well together, which makes me segue to this lady right here.
04:16The reason I know her is because she's offering a free summer program and go ahead and break down what the, your motivation for doing some things outside of the box.
04:27Again, that these kids have never experienced, but you are providing absolutely free. Introduce yourself and talk about your upcoming summer camp.
04:35Well, first of all, how do I come after that?
04:39But it was, it was a nice transition.
04:41It was amazing.
04:43I love the segue.
04:45My name is Lori Corbin. I am the prevention director at Center for Youth and Families.
04:49And yes, we are offering a free summer camp for two weeks.
04:52Again, knowing that some of our students may not have food in the summer.
04:57So making sure that they have breakfast and lunch for our program.
05:00But exposure, that is my passion.
05:03Some of our students will never step outside of their zip codes.
05:06So we're actually heading to Ann Arbor for one of our field trips on the 25th, a hands-on museum,
05:11because we know kids like to touch everything.
05:13Yes. So we can go to one where we don't get put out.
05:15And then we're going horseback riding.
05:17That's awesome.
05:19I knew it. Love it. I knew it. Go ahead.
05:22It's a black owned company.
05:24Yeah.
05:25So we are excited to just, again, expose our students to any and everything.
05:29Well, let me know if you need the cowboy heads.
05:31That was excellent.
05:32Oh, the cowboy heads. Yes.
05:34Yes.
05:35Yes.
05:36And the reason Mason has signed me up, we had to ask, was it an age limit?
05:40It's because they're actually doing a personality testing.
05:45Talk to that.
05:46Yes.
05:47Because not only feeding them, giving them out of the box experiences,
05:50they're teaching them about themselves.
05:52Absolutely.
05:53You know, my passion is specifically for black and brown girls.
05:56I grew up in Southgate, which was predominantly white.
05:59I went to U of D Jesuit, which is a Catholic school again, predominantly white.
06:03So I really struggled with identity.
06:06I struggled with who I was.
06:07I struggled with my hair.
06:09I thought my lips were too big.
06:11My body was too big.
06:12I'm like, looking back, I'm like, girl, if I could get that body down.
06:14Oh my goodness, please.
06:15If I could get that body down.
06:17But I feel like a lot of us, even adults, we can talk a lot about areas of growth,
06:23but we struggle with talking about our strengths.
06:25Come on.
06:26We struggle with talking about what we're good at.
06:29So I'm really just looking for our youth to be exposed to everything,
06:34to meet people who are amazing truck drivers, who are radio stars,
06:39who are CEOs, who are just any and everything so they can see themselves in others.
06:44And not to compare, because we know that comparison is the thief.
06:48Right.
06:49But being able to say, wow, she came from where I was.
06:52Right.
06:53And she made it.
06:54And not comparing ourselves with what success looks like.
06:57Success is different for all of us.
06:58We get to determine what our success looks like.
07:00Yeah.
07:01But you give them like a test, right?
07:02Yeah.
07:03So it's a personality test.
07:04This is what Mason want me to take.
07:06It's a personality test.
07:09We're doing goal settings, talking about SMART goals, because we want to make sure,
07:13I love the R in SMART.
07:15You know, the specific, the measurable, achievable, but the realistic.
07:20Amen.
07:21What is a realistic goal for me?
07:23And how do I set it?
07:24And then the T is timely.
07:26But again, being able to know who you are, who you may mesh with,
07:30how you may have a conflict from someone else, because their personality is this,
07:33your personality is that.
07:34But how do we get on the same page?
07:36How can my strength support your strength?
07:38And I'm all about that.
07:40I love that.
07:41Yeah.
07:42I just believe God put like, he's like, that's where puzzles come from.
07:45And if you look at the jigsaw puzzle, the pieces are all different sizes, but also important.
07:51Exactly.
07:52You know, just because it's a chunky piece don't mean it's the most important piece.
07:55That loop.
07:56You feel what I'm saying?
07:57So we all are on the same page.
07:59And there's the other analogy that I love that I have when you speak about that puzzle piece is a forest.
08:04When we're driving down the highway, we can see how beautiful the trees look.
08:10They look like they're perfect together.
08:12But if you walk through that forest, you will see the broken limbs, the holes in the trees.
08:16I love that.
08:17Different changes of those trees.
08:18But those imperfect trees are making that perfection, right?
08:21Come on, girl.
08:22So that's the same.
08:23And I really believe in collaborating over competition.
08:26That's one of the core goals of my organization is to collaborate over compete.
08:31And if we learn how to do that more, we'll succeed.
08:34How we're talking off camera about everything that all three of us did and how we just became a part of Angie's puzzle piece, right?
08:42So I just really appreciate everything that you guys are doing and appreciate being a part of this conversation, Angie.
08:48Absolutely.
08:49Now I'm going to go to Cass.
08:51Tell us all about your organization and what you do.
08:55So I am an outreach navigator at Community and Home Supports.
09:00And what that means is all of my clients are experiencing unsheltered homelessness.
09:06We have a specific youth program that targets 18 to 24 year olds that is just as comprehensive as our other one.
09:13But I think in some ways there are more opportunities for the youth because part of the logic with YHDP is can we nip this in the bud?
09:21Can we stop?
09:22Can the cycle end with you?
09:24Can we set you up for success?
09:26Meaning that your children will never go through this.
09:29Or if God forbid they do, you're doing all right and they can come move home with mom and dad and it's not a problem.
09:35But a part of what we also do, we have a shelter nav team.
09:40So we have a navigation team that goes into the homeless shelters for both youth and adults and they will do their housing paperwork to try and get them into supportive housing programs.
09:52And then we have our own case managers because we have people that we house.
09:57And then the outreach folks, that's me and my co-worker Thasnia.
10:02We do both adult and youth age.
10:05I find myself working with the youth a lot, but we meet them where they are.
10:09We go to the bando, we go to the camp, we meet them wherever they're living in their car, and we help manage basic needs.
10:17So like food, water, clothes, tent, let's repair your tent, you know, stuff like that.
10:23Vital doc restoration, so they got no ID, no social security card, no birth certificate.
10:29We work on restoring that because we also do their housing navigation packet.
10:34So we submit it to CAM, the coordinated assessment model, to put them on a waiting list to get them into that supportive housing.
10:42And while we wait for that, the way I explain it to clients is, I am here to make this as bearable as possible for you.
10:50I just feel like you don't know what you don't know.
10:55And the fact that you want to provide them with knowledge, knowledge is power.
11:01It's a part of why I built that map that we were talking about.
11:04My pet project, my baby that I've been working on for almost two years now, is the needs management map.
11:11It's a custom Google map where there's multiple layers on there.
11:16It's meant for anybody.
11:17I was targeting people experiencing unsheltered homelessness first, but it kind of expanded from there, where there's stuff for like homeless services and referrals, basic needs.
11:28So places you could go for like hot food, laundry, showers, free or low cost medical care.
11:34There's youth specific stuff for like 18 to 24 year olds, LGBT friendly stuff, food pantries, affordable housing that is voucher friendly and bus routes to then show you how to get there.
11:47So trying to put it all in one place is a lot of work, but also has been very helpful, especially for the youth, because they're much better with technology than some of their older peers sometimes.
11:58Yes.
11:59And like they know how to use that thing and how to make it function.
12:03Wow.
12:04So, okay, the big question.
12:07And we kind of focused in on kids, youth.
12:10So I did my research and I found out, thank God, there is a program that is in existence right now.
12:19It's Eat Up and Meet Up.
12:21And basically this program deals with kids, I want to say 18 and under.
12:29And what I liked about the program was that they go, they work with schools that already have existing food programs.
12:38So they know where the needs are and they've set up and they have, their only requirement is that they eat the food right there.
12:46But I looked at all of the different programs, all of the different locations, and I'm impressed with what they're able to do.
12:53I remember they were actually advertising on radio to get the word out even more.
12:58Hopefully they'll come back.
13:00One of my suggestions and what I'm looking to do is support this program, help get the word out more, do some type of a fundraiser to help them out.
13:11But when I got off the phone with your coworker, she explained to me your age range that you guys work in.
13:18And I said, you know, you can't really drink liquor legally until you're 21.
13:23So, you know, what about the, you know, the 19s and the 20s and the 21, 22, you know, what are we doing for them?
13:31And I know the focus when we first started was youth, but Eat Up, Meet Up, they're handling that.
13:39And we can help expand what they can do.
13:42And you can maybe speak to some other programs for the kids.
13:45But I wanted to go back to you because I was trying to figure out how to help the people who aren't 18 and under and can take advantage of this program.
13:57What kind of solutions can we find to help them?
14:00And I'll start with you.
14:02Well, one of the first ones that I think of, which is a part of why, that's why I put like amateur cartographer in my little description there.
14:10Okay.
14:11Which was a part of why I started to make that map is because a lot of times when somebody is in a crisis, they are in crisis mode and they don't really know where to go or what to do.
14:20And all they can think about is the right now. And it's very difficult to plan ahead.
14:25But I suppose in a way this is my solution is making this map and making it accessible and making sure that like things on there are like accurate and the information is correct.
14:37So when someone is hungry, there are soup kitchens on there that shows their exact location, hours of operation, the website, the phone number, all of it.
14:45If they need a shower where they can go, there's like pop up showers through Project Wave and everything links to their Google calendar because it does change month to month.
14:55I don't always have time to update it. So like, yeah, in my mind, at least that that is one of the solutions is trying to just show people where things are so that they can understand it and what exactly it is they do.
15:08I love it. I love that. That's so brilliant. I've definitely worked behind the scene on a ton of app projects, you know, and that's one heck of a directory.
15:18And it sounds like, you know, they'll be able to really use that. And I love that you're telling them what it can do, because we are in an age of technology.
15:29Right. And one of the things that I also recognize about youth is their education and their attention spans and their emotional intelligence. Right.
15:37And sometimes they some students get things really fast, but then we have some students who do not.
15:42So make the information is easy to understand if possible so that they are when they connect or someone who may not be as strong in literacy or some sort.
15:53They are able to still understand, you know, how they can reach someone. All right. And do you have anything you would like to add? Solutions.
16:02So I'm actually the outreach coordinator at Detroit Church, and my solution is churches like this is what we're here to do.
16:09We're here to serve the to serve the poor, to serve the underrepresented, the underprivileged.
16:14It's I can't remember the exact number of churches in the city of Detroit. It's a crazy number.
16:19It's like 1,500 or something. Yes. You know, why why do we not band together to take care of our communities and take care of our people?
16:27As the outreach coordinator, I created a forum for people to suggest a family that is in need creating boxes.
16:35You know, you think about the city of Detroit and the number of grocery stores that we have here.
16:39So some of our people in Detroit don't have transportation. They can't go to a Costco and go book shopping.
16:44They can't create, you know, lunches for their kids with healthy groceries.
16:48But I feel like our churches need to step up and step out. Yes. Yes.
16:52And some other solutions, though, that I definitely have for the youth is to, you know, some that you can probably add to your app.
17:00But the Detroit Phoenix Center just came up with solutions with the age range that you just spoke about.
17:05And they actually have a youth bus where they allow them to come on the bus to shower, to sleep, to it has computers on there for them to apply for jobs and do classes.
17:18It has resources like clothes and things like that if they need an intake specialist to help them also place them in and home.
17:26So that's a really great resource for the youth. It's the Detroit Phoenix Center.
17:31The Black United Fund of Michigan, Buff of Michigan. Yes.
17:34We do a ton of things for free. We have all sorts of free programs happening in this summer as well.
17:39And a part of those programs is definitely we're feeding them like catered food every day.
17:45And I'm talking like the real caterer, not the kind of kids want to fall out because I'm the one that's getting it.
17:49So I'm getting them all the good stuff. Listen, the budget, I blow the budget on the food.
17:54OK, they'd be like, Natasha. I'd be like, these kids hungry. I can't look at them.
17:58I can't look at them hungry. I can't do my job if they don't eat.
18:01I love it. I love it. I love it.
18:04So it's beautiful. Just breaking the rules in ways that you can to give them what?
18:09That exposure. OK. Yeah. So that's the Buff of Michigan. That's buffmichigan.com.
18:15Then we have metplus.org who has invested $4 million from October until now in giveaways from the youth to the elderly.
18:27Every single other day we're doing giveaways on their behalf.
18:31And they have resources for ages, every age range, all the way up to the youth.
18:36And they bridge the generations from the youth to the seniors so that everyone can learn how to work together as a community.
18:43The unity that you were speaking of and stepping up in those ways.
18:46So those are the companies that I manage and I work for and not only I collaborate.
18:51Now, another solution and I'm going to shut up because I'll take over the show.
18:55You're good, babe.
18:56So listen, y'all. It's not about how much you can give. It's about what you can give.
19:02Yes, right. It is about what you can give. We can't look at the other person's arm and hand.
19:09We don't have the same circumstances no matter who you are, right?
19:13So I have in my cart right now about 300 bags of Cheez-Its, about 40 boxes of, you know, White's Krispy treats.
19:20So I'm going to break it down and give snacks to, you know, as many families as I can with that amount, right?
19:27Because even if I'm providing a snack for kids one day for a family house, that's something that a parent doesn't have to go out and buy those little snacks.
19:35And those money add up. That's what I can do right now, right?
19:39But you might can do a thousand boxes. You know what I'm saying? That's what you can do.
19:44But the reality of it is, is if we all give what we can give, we're helping that impact and creating solutions for those that surround us.
19:52I love it.
19:53That's a part of why we do like the basic needs that we do, because it's so huge with building trust.
19:58Like it's going to take a couple months before I can put you in a house. There's all this paperwork and bureaucracy.
20:02You don't care about that. I care about the fact you haven't eaten in a couple of days.
20:06So I can feed you today. Yes. Yes.
20:08It's going to take a while before we get that apartment, but today you will eat and tomorrow you will eat.
20:13So I want to go and you don't have to be real specific, but I want to paint a picture for people watching right now.
20:22Someone 19 that you've met, 20, whatever, you know, in that age range living in their car.
20:29What was the first conversation like? Just kind of give me an example of what do they say? Are they embarrassed? What is it?
20:38Generally speaking, there is a lot of shame and that sucks. I hate that there's so much shame.
20:44It's a part of why I think so many people don't know where to go because they don't know where to look.
20:48And it's very difficult to admit, like, I need help. I can't do this myself.
20:52And I've like gone to meet with clients like living in their car or the band or whatever.
20:57And they're like, I'm so sorry. It's a mess. I'm like, honey, you live in your car.
21:00You don't have to apologize to me. You never have to. You should see the state of mind.
21:04And I don't live in mine. So what's my excuse? Like the shame is a big part.
21:09But sometimes there is also a sense of trepidation of maybe they've been burned by a system before, or maybe they watch the news and they're worried about funding.
21:19Or there's a sense of relief of like, finally, something is happening.
21:26I finally feel like there's a sense of control of like, I did something to try and change my situation.
21:33Because the thing about poverty, and especially when it strikes very young, is poverty collects interest, not just financially, but physically, mentally and emotionally.
21:43And it is extremely traumatizing.
21:45A lot of times, a lot of our youth, they never really got the chance to like be teenagers or like dorky 20 year olds who make mistakes.
21:54They didn't get the chance to do that in a way they were like robbed of their young adulthood because of poverty and trauma.
22:01They had to grow up so fast. And sometimes like we'll sit down with the youth once they do get matched.
22:06And they're like, I don't know how to do this. I've never applied to an apartment. I've never had DTE in my name.
22:11I don't know how to do any of this because they've just been so focused on surviving.
22:15And that's so powerful when we talk about solutions, as you're saying, you know, what you're doing, which is beautiful.
22:21But we talk about shame and how it even enters into our space because we don't know what shame is as a kid.
22:28You know, it's, you know, it's often developed based on how other people make you feel.
22:35That's where shame comes from.
22:37And so the reason why they also is is because also decide to sleep in their car is because they can't go to their families because what happens?
22:45They turn into the front page of the news, you know, they need this, they need that.
22:50It's a mockery, you know, so they that that creates shame.
22:53But then they can go to these places that we speak about, these outreach, reach places.
22:58And the staff is so disgusting that they make them even feel more horrible.
23:04And so, you know what they say? Oh, I'm not going to do this.
23:07I'm going to figure it out myself. I'd rather sleep in a car than a da da da.
23:11Because at the end of the day, you still want to feel human.
23:14And I think we all as individuals, as humans, need to always remember to be kind.
23:19You never know.
23:20I got to go to what you're saying, though, because I'm feeling her vibration and it seems like they care.
23:26Are there shelters that are mean?
23:27Yes, that's why the people are ashamed and don't go.
23:30Can you guys speak to that a little more? Go ahead.
23:33Yes.
23:34So a lot of times when you're trying to get help, I remember I was going through a very difficult time of displacement, guys.
23:40And I didn't want to give my dog up because it was a support dog for my daughter.
23:46And just think about this from a dog standpoint, but you know how we love a universal language is pets.
23:52Right.
23:53You know?
23:54And so we love her.
23:55And so we're trying to find a temporary place for her to go until we're stabilized.
24:00The response put her down like it was just nothing.
24:03Or, I mean, what, I mean, how, where are you guys going to go?
24:06We can do this.
24:07But it just was very unwarm.
24:09So, Dean, you figure out.
24:10You want to know what?
24:11Let me just figure out how to keep my pet with me to where I go.
24:15And then sometimes that's where?
24:17In your car.
24:18Right?
24:19But because mentally you're going through so much and you're surviving, that sounds like a good idea if you never have to feel that level of shame of asking for help again.
24:28So I think we should really train our staff and outreach programs and places and community spaces where we know you're overwhelmed because you're listening to a lot.
24:38It feels like a therapist is going on.
24:40And, you know, you're dealing with these traumatic experiences every day.
24:44So sometimes you've got an attitude when you're calling because you're human too.
24:47And you're going through something.
24:48So who can I take this off on?
24:50Someone who is lesser than me in your mind.
24:53Right?
24:54So it's a lot of stuff that happens when you're trying to get help.
24:57I don't know if you guys all just watched the movie Straw.
25:00Girl.
25:01Okay.
25:02I didn't see it.
25:03Go ahead.
25:04Yeah, go ahead.
25:05Go ahead.
25:06That's the first thing I thought about is being kind.
25:08So Taraji P. Henson is the star.
25:13And her daughter is, I want to say maybe third grade, but she has seizures.
25:18So she has a lot of medication.
25:20So it starts off with, I'm not going to tell the whole story.
25:22Right.
25:23Spoilers.
25:24It's a day.
25:26Like when I tell you she had a day from the time she woke up to, you need to get out.
25:32I'm putting your stuff out too.
25:33She went to work.
25:34Why you late?
25:35People like it.
25:36She had a, it was nonstop hit after hit, after hit, after hit.
25:40And it was like, just be kind.
25:42You don't know what people are going through.
25:45That simple.
25:47How are you doing?
25:49And actually listening.
25:51When someone says, how are you doing?
25:52I feel like in this world, we're so fast.
25:55You know, someone called me today and was like, hey, how are you doing today?
25:58And then kept going.
25:59I was like, ah, no, no, let's go back.
26:02I'm fine.
26:03How are you?
26:04I love that.
26:05Oh, I love that for you.
26:06I'm happy you did that.
26:07Let's slow it down.
26:08You asked me a question.
26:09Do you really care?
26:10Is this, this is just what you do.
26:12But that kindness can go so far to where someone is on the breaking edge.
26:18Yes.
26:19And the straw, but the character also is what we're talking about.
26:23Is that she was asking for help.
26:25Asking for help.
26:26She was asking for help and everybody was treating her so mean.
26:31And I'm like, what in the world is going on, you know?
26:35So that's what I'm speaking to when I hear these things.
26:38And it's stuff that we don't think about, but that comes up.
26:41It's kind of why, like, I tend to be very blunt and very honest with clients about the system
26:46and how it works, and I believe in that transparency because I want them to understand that,
26:53yes, it can be very frustrating, but I am here to make it less frustrating.
26:58And the, one of the biggest things that I think was taught to me by my co-worker Thasnia
27:04when she was training me, because there's only the two of us that do outreach,
27:07is that if a client snaps at you and they go off at you, yes, it is very hard to have someone yell at you,
27:13but they're not actually mad at you.
27:16They're upset at the situation.
27:18They're upset at the system.
27:19And you've become the face of it.
27:21And generally speaking, someone they can confide in.
27:23And so they might pop off at you and it's okay.
27:26And later on when they may or may not feel bad about it or be like, oh, you know, sorry about that.
27:32You don't have to apologize.
27:33Like, it's okay.
27:34I appreciate that you did, but you don't have to.
27:36I probably would have done the same thing in your shoes.
27:38And I love that because they're all so young, right?
27:41So we are just developing, you know, all of these emotions when we're in the 20s.
27:47We don't even know how to control ourselves at that.
27:49But I didn't start controlling myself until about 35.
27:51Yeah.
27:52I'm going to go closer to 30.
27:55But I think about biases.
27:58You know, even for those of us who serve people, some of your biases are just like, you don't even think about it.
28:06And just sometimes it's us who respond in a manner that is offensive.
28:13Sometimes it's just us.
28:14So I think definitely staying on trainings of how not to, you know, put your issues, your traumas on other people who are already experiencing and need your support.
28:26And being aware of what you might run into in your particular field.
28:30Like, we run across a lot of SMI, which is serious mental illness, substance use disorder, and human trafficking.
28:38These are things that admittedly I'm a little desensitized to in a weird way because of secondhand exposure.
28:43But it's still important to remember that and keep reminding yourself, like, this is an awful thing.
28:48They're having a trauma response, and you need to respond to that as appropriately as possible.
28:54And if I can give a resource as we speak about this, people being traumatic and how to deal with them.
29:01Miracle Nord, look her up.
29:03Her name is Miracle Nord.
29:04She owns two nonprofits, LSW and then Breaking Barriers.
29:08And they both support what, you know, what we're here speaking about.
29:13One of them is to help the homeless.
29:14And so she has different properties that she's personally purchased.
29:18And she houses families and, you know, youth for many years now.
29:23And then Breaking Barriers, you are allowed to become a trauma recovery coach with her for very cheap to become a trauma recovery coach.
29:33And then she does trauma recovery, thousands of trauma recovery for youth throughout Michigan.
29:39So if you guys need to be, you know, looking to become a trauma recovery coach, if you're looking to have trauma recovery in your nonprofit organizations or if you need trauma recovery, this is a perfect place for you to go to to get a coach or to become a coach.
29:57And you're certified by the state of Michigan.
30:00Wow.
30:01I think something that helps, too, is a friend of mine is a trauma therapist, actually, and she's very, very good at what she does.
30:07And I asked for her advice recently to deal with a client who has been self-sabotaging.
30:13And he's very clearly, like, doing this to hurt himself.
30:16He was, like, intentionally skimping on or missing appointments.
30:20Like, we're on, like, our fifth or sixth housing provider.
30:23And I asked her, like, what do I do?
30:25I can't make him care about this even though I know he's doing it as self-harm.
30:30And she explained to me that the way that people react to trauma is actually very predictable.
30:36And they tend to fall in terms of line of thinking in one of two camps.
30:40The first one is bad things happen to me because I'm a bad person.
30:43The second one is, well, bad things happen because sometimes the universe is just really random and violence is just a part of the randomness.
30:50And so, of course, violence and bad things would happen to me because it's all just random.
30:54And once you can kind of figure out, like, once our intake appointments tend to run a little long because I talk a lot.
31:02And sometimes the client has a lot of questions.
31:04But, like, I'm also trying to figure out which of those camps they fall into.
31:09Because if I know that, then I can get my, like, little claws in there a little bit easier and pull them out of it.
31:15Because sometimes the second one of the randomness is the hardest.
31:18Because then you have to convince them they have trauma at all.
31:21And ask them, why do you think that violence is normal?
31:24Mm-hmm.
31:25So sometimes even having, like, a somewhat simplistic understanding like that can also help.
31:30When someone is having, like, a response in front of you and you are a direct service provider.
31:34Especially once it's someone you've really gotten to know very well.
31:37And I think one of the solutions that we haven't provided to our youth yet of all ages is a break from social media.
31:44A break from technology, right?
31:47A pathway for them to have a very safe space to exist as humans without touching technology.
31:54And I think that's the biggest differences from generations before this one is that a lot of stuff is not real to them because they see it all on something that was portrayed to be fake our whole lives, right?
32:06Television, right?
32:07Television, right?
32:08So now we got all of these reality TV shows, these video games, and all of these things they're entrenched in all day long since infancy.
32:15A three-month-year-old knows how to move around a tablet, okay?
32:19The app screens on the phone, all of these different things, right?
32:22So they think that this is entertainment and it's real people doing these things.
32:27So what do we do as humans?
32:29What are we, what are the most impressionable ages as youth, right?
32:33We're teaching them something because they're looking at this screen and now, boom, why?
32:38Because they just, they're seeing people kill people in real life.
32:42Absolutely.
32:43Streamed on live, Facebook, and they're commenting about it.
32:46It's fighting, kids, youth are having real fights where they're stomping each other like crazy and all of this stuff.
32:53And it's normal, right?
32:55We got to let them know that it's not okay because they see it on the screen.
33:00It's not something that you repeat.
33:02And usually when we're doing and we are watching television, we see that commercial break, oh, I'm going to check that out.
33:08Why?
33:09Because we believe that it's something we should have because it was an advertisement, right?
33:13This must be really good.
33:14They're playing it on the TV.
33:16When you realize when you get older, this was just an advertisement.
33:19What?
33:20I can't trust this.
33:21We have to give them what they're missing and that's emotional intelligence.
33:25They're missing that critical thinking skills, comprehension.
33:28It's one thing to read a word, but it's another one to understand it.
33:31So those solutions and all working together, we have to think of it as a holistic approach.
33:37Because we can show them where to go, but if they get to where to go and they can't articulate what's really wrong with them, then now that's another struggle, right?
33:45That's making now Cass's job even harder because this youth has no idea how to communicate with another human because they're typing.
33:55Bro.
33:56Good point.
33:57Bro.
33:58Good point.
33:59I love that.
34:00I love that.
34:01That's another solutions, not slogans.
34:02We're going to bring you back for that.
34:03I like that.
34:04That's a great topic.
34:05Go ahead.
34:06I have to find out what the company is.
34:07I went to a training a couple of weeks ago and this young man, black young man started a debate team just for that reason.
34:13He said, our youth need to be able to articulate.
34:16So we take them and it's not, you know, debate is debate, but he says they walk away being able to articulate how they feel, use the correct words, are comprehending.
34:27And I was like, oh my gosh, this is especially just for black young men.
34:31Like I loved it.
34:32So I'm going to get it.
34:33Okay.
34:34That was good.
34:35Yeah.
34:36You guys are permanent with me.
34:37We're going to be working together.
34:38I like it.
34:39And speaking of that, okay, your organization, you have unlimited funds or do you need funds?
34:46Do you need help in the finance department?
34:50Well, I mean, they did just move into a different office.
34:53So if you want to carry their desk, so I don't have to.
34:56But yeah, I mean, it's always needed.
34:59It's always appreciated.
35:01CHS is a part of the Detroit's broader continuum of care for homeless services.
35:06But we are one of the smallest organizations there.
35:09Like I said, our outreach team is two.
35:11It's me and one other person.
35:13So stuff like that is always appreciated, whether it's material, financial, or if you're looking to volunteer and give your time.
35:20It's always appreciated.
35:22And I know that the clients appreciate it too.
35:25But I think one of the biggest things you could do, like, besides donations, monetary, material, time, whatever, is remembering to be kind.
35:34I'll never forget when I first started and I did my first intake all by myself like a big girl.
35:40I sat there with my client who had been unsheltered for 10 years.
35:44And we were talking.
35:45And I make a lot of eye contact because that's just how I show you I'm listening to you.
35:50And he told me that he, like, he got a little, like, upset.
35:55And he started to cry.
35:56And I asked if he was okay.
35:57Did he want to keep going?
35:59Do we need to take a break?
36:01He told me that he could not remember, and these are his words, not mine, the last time a normal person looked him in the eyes for that long.
36:08Wow.
36:09And I think that's something worth asking yourself, even if it is just being kind.
36:14When is the last time you looked an unsheltered person in the eyes?
36:17I love that.
36:18I love that.
36:19Okay, well, you know, my company, I feel, Beasley Media, we own top radio stations in this market.
36:31marketplace.
36:32And when I hear from corporate, this is huge to them.
36:37And we are trying to find solutions as to how we can help with organizations like yours to get the word out, you know, maybe help with a fundraiser.
36:50I kind of like what she said, churches, and to a lot of people, radio and what we do is their church.
36:57And this is why I like having these discussions, and I'll take this back to our corporate, and we'll figure out how we might be able to help you.
37:07That would be awesome.
37:08Because just what you guys are saying, and the temperature of this planet, this country right now, is so important.
37:19Because I don't think people were created, I just don't think God is crazy.
37:24And he made all people for a reason.
37:27Absolutely.
37:28And the simple thing you just said, just being kind.
37:31And a good friend of mine that I used to work with, Deb Foster, she created an organization.
37:37Don't kill me, Deb, because I can't think of the name of it.
37:39But what Deb does and what she was passionate about.
37:43And just to give you a little idea that she didn't have to, she was like an executive assistant.
37:48So she made really good money to one of the top people at our radio station.
37:53But she took all her little extra money and purchased property.
37:57And what she did with the property was provided housing for working women that are living in their cars.
38:05So basically, you know, you would think that somebody gets up and goes to work every day and they're doing okay.
38:12But in reality, they're not.
38:14And she exposed me to all of this.
38:17She exposed me to women that have jobs and look like they're okay.
38:22But they're not.
38:23And again, you never know.
38:26I say that to right now, life can be perfect for you right now.
38:30But like that, life can change.
38:32Man, like that life can change.
38:35Because we talk about being teen youth and, you know, not ever having a chance to be a child.
38:42And, you know, everything that we're just speaking about.
38:45And I'm just reflecting on my journey as I sit here.
38:49And I was a two-time teen mom.
38:51You know what I'm saying?
38:52And a lot of shame came with it.
38:54So, you know, you have to build a lot of resilience to make it, you know, past those, you know, those things.
39:00And resources, what you're doing here is really spectacular.
39:05Because I love the fact that it is a podcast and people are going to see it.
39:09And they can play this back over and over again to find even us in the resources that we've been speaking about.
39:15That's right.
39:16You know, right now.
39:17So that's really great change-making work, Angie.
39:19You know?
39:20Absolutely.
39:21Yes.
39:22But the trauma that we, yeah, we experienced, it, I mean, I didn't know it until now.
39:27But it drove, what do I want to do?
39:30Because of what I experienced.
39:32I don't want people to experience what I have.
39:34You're going to experience life.
39:35Life is going to kick your butt.
39:36That's right.
39:37I tell my child all the time, don't, just be a kid.
39:40Because adulting is, they lie.
39:42Yo, you're going to be there forever.
39:43They lie.
39:44They lie about adulting.
39:45You're going to be there forever once you make it.
39:47You can't go back, you know?
39:49Right, right.
39:50So you can't go back.
39:51But I also, just thinking about some of the other resources, you know, that you were just
39:56even speaking of.
39:57I was thinking about this Treasure Within program, which is another client and partner of ours,
40:03where they reach out to underserved girls, right, for all the way up to 19 years old.
40:09And they work with them on sex education, self-esteem, teaching them how to be a queen.
40:16And so they do an event where every year we put on this huge gala.
40:20And we get them dressed from head to toes like princesses with crowns.
40:25We put them in limousines.
40:27We bring out celebrities and special guest city officials and everything to help them,
40:34watch them, and celebrate them becoming this new queen.
40:37So there are so many organizations in the city.
40:42And again, where do you find them?
40:44Right.
40:45Where are they?
40:46You know?
40:47And sometimes because we got to give each other grace, too, as we become adults.
40:51Because we were those youth that were surviving.
40:53And sometimes our survival journey doesn't stop until we're grown.
40:57And so we also have to forgive ourselves for what we don't know and how we show up and what we didn't learn.
41:04You know?
41:05And sometimes because we didn't learn it, we can't teach it.
41:08You don't know what you don't know.
41:09Our kids fall straight to the wayside because the parent had no idea.
41:14So now the kid don't got no idea.
41:16And they just keep going and going and going.
41:19So this solutions, Angie, this is really good stuff.
41:22All right.
41:23This is really what our youth assistant program is.
41:26Teaching them comfort resolution.
41:28Talking about sex education, self-esteem, anger management tools.
41:32Like giving them coping tools and resources to be better and do better.
41:37Yeah.
41:38But not only just for you, these are things you can teach your parents.
41:41Yeah.
41:42In a respectful way.
41:43Okay, yes.
41:44In a respectful way.
41:45So I have some studio guests.
41:48And just real quick, if you guys would like to speak or say anything or if you have any suggestions,
41:54come onto the microphone and introduce yourself.
41:57Come right on up to it.
41:58Hi.
41:59My name is Latonya Smith.
42:01I thank you for inviting me.
42:03This has touched me in so many ways.
42:06I'm trying not to get emotional.
42:11I need everybody information before I leave.
42:14I had a young man living in my backyard.
42:17I told Mr. Clark about him.
42:19Since November.
42:21Till like April.
42:23It was sad.
42:25And I missed it.
42:27How do you get in for the first one?
42:30Solutions instead of slogans.
42:36There's so much going on in the world.
42:39It's terrible.
42:40And the teens don't have, some of them don't have anybody.
42:44They have no one to turn to.
42:47Nobody to talk to.
42:49Nobody to rely on.
42:51Nobody to count on.
42:53Today, as far as the solutions, a few came to mind.
43:01And it went from old school to today.
43:05Now, as far as when I say old school, it's gathering young children and teaching them about planting and growing their own fruits and vegetables.
43:19So something you can harvest and come back to.
43:23And finding some type of funding to help with that.
43:27Then to get to 2025, ask AI.
43:33I asked ChatGPT, how can you help the kids that are hungry during school time?
43:45Pop up pantries.
43:47Go to the kids.
43:49Find them.
43:51Like you said, the eat up and meet up is age limited.
43:56And then there's kids older than 18 and need something to eat.
43:59There you go.
44:00I barely have.
44:02But I fed that young man from November to April.
44:09We can volunteer as parents, as community citizens at the local food banks.
44:19Team up with the Meals on Wheels and see if they can get to areas where people can't get out to donate or deliver lunches.
44:31To help the young and the seniors.
44:36God is good.
44:37But the young people that aren't aware of the goodness of God, they're just lost.
44:46And they need organizations like you ladies.
44:50The young men are in trouble out here.
44:55And for whatever reason, displacement, single parent homes, poverty, whatever the reason is, we need some type of help for them.
45:13God, I'm standing up.
45:14Yes.
45:20Wow.
45:21Whoa.
45:23That was heavy.
45:24Oh, my gosh.
45:26I was going to say.
45:27I'm sorry.
45:28Go ahead.
45:29So speaking to the gardening, Central Detroit Christian is a nonprofit organization in Midtown.
45:35And they have a gardening program.
45:37And it's specifically for youth that have graduated.
45:41But they have a summer program where they teach you how to garden.
45:43Right.
45:44And they pay you.
45:45And they pay.
45:46So look, you know, Mason, he had some other stuff he had to take care of today, the emergency.
45:52He yelled, not yelled at me, but he lectures me because I'm a very creative person.
45:56And I think out of the box a lot.
45:58And I kind of go overdo it.
45:59I do.
46:00You got to find balance in what you do.
46:02So I'm so glad you said what you said about planting because I'm going to run this tape
46:07for him because my idea was fish farming.
46:11Oh, I love that.
46:13But he broke it down.
46:14You don't know how much it's going to cost.
46:15You don't know that.
46:16So he said, you don't have enough information to bring it up today.
46:19But I'm bringing it up, Mason.
46:21Because my idea, and I don't know what the deep details, but when I research fish farming,
46:30it's not a huge expense to start it.
46:33People pay for catfish on the high end, $13.99 a pound.
46:38On the low end, like $6.99 a pound.
46:41In the middle, about $10.00.
46:42You sell 5,000 fish.
46:44You know what I'm saying?
46:45Yeah.
46:46You get what I'm saying?
46:47My thinking was you could work for food.
46:50I still remember one morning someone told me about the fact that people get up at 3 o'clock
46:57in the morning and wait to be selected.
47:00And they might not even get selected to pass out the pamphlets.
47:04And I said, it's no way this exists.
47:07But I went and I saw it with my own eyes.
47:10And I saw people up early who were turned away.
47:13So right then I said to my people want to work.
47:16And then you can't have a job that requires all this.
47:19Basic job.
47:20Fish farming.
47:21Real basic.
47:22But you can pay a good wage with that.
47:25So I'm just thinking a place that people know that they can go, work at least 3 hours,
47:31get paid a nice little wage, $10, $12 an hour.
47:35Because again, from the fish, you make money from the sales.
47:38Again, this is my little mind.
47:40And they would always get a fish sandwich.
47:43Yes.
47:44But you want to know what?
47:45It's not a little mind at all, Angie.
47:47I'm following him, right?
47:49You always get a good fish sandwich.
47:52So definitely it's not a little mind.
47:54This is a great idea.
47:55And I am that girl who made streams of reality.
47:59I got everything to make that happen, right?
48:01There is a teaching program literally that just came out to teach families and youth
48:06and anybody who wants to learn how to fish.
48:09It is a fishing program, right?
48:11And then what we also have is the Crane Street Garden.
48:16It's on the east side of Detroit where you can plant in the community garden to grow your fruit,
48:22that is also a client and a partner of ours.
48:25We also have 49 after school programs where we teach gardening, fashion club, game design, cosmetology, t-shirt design, movie, and therapy.
48:37So when I say there is resources and you just have to know what they are,
48:41but this fishing idea mixed in with the gardening, I'm telling you that's gold.
48:46That's gold.
48:47And then you turn it into retail.
48:49Yes, we love it.
48:52You said, I'm telling you because I was like, I've got it written down.
48:56I'm going to show you.
48:57Mace was like, don't do it.
48:58You're not prepared.
48:59But it's my idea.
49:00Let me do it, coach.
49:01Let me do it.
49:02Put me in.
49:03So one of my, I call him a gift for the neighborhood.
49:11He's just amazing to me.
49:14He just does not stop.
49:15He's on my head.
49:16What we doing?
49:17What we going to do?
49:18Okay, okay, okay.
49:19I'm trying to, you know, I'm dealing with a corporation.
49:22We're going to move.
49:23Dice, come on and get on this microphone right here.
49:26This is Dice Clark.
49:27He is, when you see who he is on camera, you go, oh, that's the guy on Facebook.
49:33That's the guy on Facebook when somebody said they saw a kid begging at a party store for food.
49:39And, you know, he looked like he was about 13 or 14 and looked like he was in need.
49:44Called Dice.
49:45And what did Dice do?
49:46Where is he?
49:47Where is he?
49:48And got on Facebook.
49:49We need help.
49:50And I'll let you speak to what you do.
49:52But this is Dice Clark, everybody.
49:54How y'all doing?
49:55What's up, ladies?
49:56How y'all doing?
49:57What's up, Dice?
49:58What's up, Natasha?
49:59Y'all all right.
50:00I don't know where to start.
50:02I mean, you know what I'm saying?
50:03I'm just for the community.
50:04I try to be everywhere.
50:06I just rushed back today from Lansing with Force Detroit and probably about 10 other organizations
50:13for CVI, for stopping the violence on guns in the neighborhood for our young kings.
50:19Like you said, a lot of our young kings are lost.
50:21So I just try to be involved with everything.
50:24Feeding the seniors, homeless people, kids, everybody.
50:28Just anything that got to do with the neighborhood, helping the community, I want in.
50:33So what are you finding with youth and hunger?
50:36Oh, wow.
50:37Yeah, it's real bad.
50:38Like she said, even with seeing it today, it's terrible because most of these kids don't
50:44have a home.
50:45So they trying to fend for they self.
50:48That's why they turn to crime.
50:50You know what I'm saying?
50:51So it's real bad.
50:53But I'm going to give a shout out to Derek Coleman, who started, we was up at Henry Ford High
50:59School High School, what y'all talking about, with the different rooms.
51:03They go to different schools now and they have the refrigerators for the kids to come
51:06in there to eat.
51:07Okay.
51:08I don't know if y'all know about it yet.
51:09No, no.
51:10Tell us about it.
51:11Tell us about it.
51:12But it's big.
51:13I just learned about it.
51:14I just went and joined them.
51:15Henry Ford High School was one of the schools, but they're doing multiple schools.
51:18They're trying to do it all over Michigan.
51:20So y'all look at tour.
51:23Derek Coleman, he created this.
51:25So each school have a room where the kids who don't have food can eat.
51:30They filled up the refrigerators, two corners, Michigan and Michigan State.
51:35It was dope.
51:36But it's full of food and drinks for the kids to come there throughout the period of the
51:41day.
51:42If they don't have nothing to eat, they just go in there, get whatever they want.
51:45So that's a great thing for all the high schools.
51:48All right.
51:49That's amazing.
51:50Yeah.
51:51So I got to go because I'm looking at my clocks.
51:53I'm looking at my homework.
51:54We're moving.
51:55I like this.
51:56I really do.
51:57And God, he know what he doing.
51:58So I just got to ask for closing thoughts.
51:59I'll start with you, Dice.
52:00Well, you know, I've been on your head about this for sure.
52:03Yeah, I know.
52:04Right.
52:05Right.
52:06This is the dope thing.
52:07I think because I'm big on that solutions, not slogans.
52:09Right.
52:10I'm all about figuring out before we even have to go through this.
52:13So again, my biggest thing is that the community got to come together.
52:17We can't worry about the government, the state, none of that funding.
52:21We have to come together.
52:22How do we come together?
52:24Wake up.
52:25Just knock on your neighbors.
52:26I mean, but do we need to have like a big city?
52:28What do we need to get this on a higher, on a bigger level?
52:32Like we've got the voice of the radio.
52:34We can announce it.
52:35But what do we need to do?
52:36Because people need to know.
52:37No, they do.
52:38And it's going to be hard because we've been this way for a long time.
52:41But I think most people got to look in the mirror and start with they self.
52:44Okay.
52:45Clean your own backyard.
52:46Start on your own block.
52:47Learn your neighbors.
52:48Help your neighbors out.
52:49Build relationships on your own block first.
52:52And then as you create that block, y'all go to the next block as a whole.
52:55And we continue to do that as we grow.
52:57But I think everybody got to start at home first.
53:00All right.
53:01Dice Clark.
53:02Yeah.
53:04Period.
53:05Drop the mic.
53:06No, I'm just kidding.
53:07Go ahead.
53:08What's your closing thoughts?
53:09My closing thoughts is that this was an absolutely amazing conversation.
53:13I'm so happy to have met everyone in the room and hear, you know, the solutions is really
53:18what I am.
53:19I'm an execution sort of person.
53:20But since this is about, you know, solutions and what we can provide to the youth of all ages,
53:26we can provide to them the Spirit of God.
53:29You know, having the Spirit of God is going to really guide you and build them.
53:33And they're going to see that in you, right?
53:35And that's going to run them toward him.
53:37Because we know ultimately when we have no one else, we do have the higher power.
53:42We do have God Almighty, Jehovah.
53:45We have him.
53:46So the other thing is just being really, you know, don't be a gatekeeper when it comes
53:52to organizations and things because you want to keep it to yourself.
53:57With MetPlus.org, we've been giving away thousands upon thousands of Nike Dunk gym shoes to teachers,
54:06students, the community.
54:07And we're asking families, like, how many pair of shoes do you need?
54:11How many pair of Nikes?
54:12You'll be unbelievable that they asked for a 16 pair.
54:16And let's be reasonable.
54:17When you do get with some people who care and want to give your family something,
54:23do not overtake because we're not going to be able to service the people who know.
54:28If you know your kid only got one, you got one kid, don't ask for four pair of shoes.
54:33Get the one pair that you need and allow for that family with four kids or three kids,
54:39all of their kids to be able to get it.
54:41So as you are learning the resources and you're meeting the community leaders that Angie is bringing
54:46to the network and Mason is bringing to the radio, be conscious of what you're asking for
54:52and love your neighbor by not taking advantage of the system.
54:56I love you.
54:57I love that.
54:59Closing thoughts from you.
55:02I would probably say I do agree.
55:05I kind of think it starts with the self.
55:07It doesn't cost anything to be kind.
55:11And I think at the end of the day, myself, my colleagues, everyone at this table,
55:16we're going to get up every day and keep doing our jobs and choose to be kind.
55:21And no one gets a vote on that ever.
55:23But I also think it's important to remember that the homeless people in your neighborhood
55:30are your neighbors.
55:31They live in your neighborhood.
55:32They're a part of your neighborhood and a part of your community.
55:36And I just think that, I think you got to be more neighborly.
55:43Yes.
55:44I love that.
55:45In the most blunt way.
55:47And I also think that maybe another small thing to ask is,
55:52when is the last time you looked a homeless person in the eyes?
55:56And you asked, like, how's your day going?
55:59Or had a conversation with them?
56:00Because I think it's a good reminder that that could be you.
56:03That could be me.
56:04It could be your best friend.
56:05It could be your partner.
56:07Most people in this country are a few missed paychecks away from being completely unsheltered
56:12and having nothing.
56:13Listen.
56:14Say that.
56:15Yeah.
56:16Yeah.
56:17You could be like me.
56:18I be dancing with the homeless men.
56:19They be like, you so fine.
56:20I be like, oh, no.
56:21Hype me up.
56:22Hype me up, brother.
56:23Yes, you know.
56:24But you got to be real with them because that's going to be the energy that they need
56:27to come back to life for something just like it was the snap that made you lose it.
56:31It's also a snap that help you come back, too.
56:34So your energy is what helps the snap either way it goes.
56:38That's real.
56:39You can decide whether you're going to be they breaking straw or they saving grace.
56:41That's real.
56:42Whew.
56:43Closing thoughts.
56:44I say networking, you know, it is not comfortable.
56:49I will say that.
56:50It is not a comfortable thing for me.
56:52I was at the event as well with Derek Coleman.
56:55And I'm like, I'm in a room of people who are looking for being able to provide resources.
57:02So I just started talking.
57:04I mean, if we all have these different platforms, why can't our city be taken care of?
57:10This is a perfect example of what that looks like.
57:13Excellent.
57:14We call it solutions, not slogans.
57:17I am Angie's star, part of the Mason and Star Morning Show.
57:22Yeah, we got stars right here.
57:24You are a star.
57:26But the main thing I got from all of this is stars within, be kind, and look somebody in the eye.
57:34I love that.
57:35That's huge.
57:36Thank you guys.
57:37And we'll be back with more solutions, not slogans.
57:41And cut.
57:42We're out of here.
57:43We did it.
57:44All right.
57:45This was amazing.
57:46Oh yeah, yeah, this was good.
57:50And cut.
57:51We're out of here.
57:52You did it.
57:53All right.
57:54This was amazing.
57:55Oh yeah, yeah, this was good.
