you need to learn you just continue to learn and you continue to grow excellent for iran to come and my mom well like just little various little things that we don't know your life simple stuff question legs you know little things like growing up as disc young teenager who was out there on the streets i mean teenage mom all of that she has been extremely instrumental in my life all the way to this point and amazing amazing amazing amazing woman and i love her dearly love you dearly my mom d i don't know if anybody saw that maybe neck and pull that out she was arrested for to be honest i really don't know why she was arrested but she was pulled over by the police i believe that some are going to h he was going to do to her she went to jail and she sat in jail for three days she didn't have money to bill her five thousand dollars if we look at the ten percent of it if you had a bills bondsman that would be five hundred dollars and sat in jail for she they give money to these women so they can build themselves out on mother's day and so i want to give the big a shout out to them wow your gift for what they're doing to women because there's no reason why women should be sitting in jail horrible for that matter because they cannot afford to help themselves let's change legislation especially if it's a coup oh not a violent crime why are we putting these people in as you know you know but that's the whole of the story but i you could now go back and raising your children would you say you may have done differently if anything at all because i know raising a child doesn't have a blueprint there is a manual but is there something now that you would have said i would have been a little more patient and i would have investigated a little more about the technology they're using i would have been i'm a little more wary of their friends and they  there anything that you would tell young mothers now that you now looking back would just give a piece of a piece of wisdom is there in what the st thing i would say young women who are not mothers yet wait today listen listen to your child and question is more of the time when they come out of school how is your day be involved have to you have to know what's going on because what happens is when the interact in the world the what would be that if i she would tell i'm following letter now because i'm a great grandmother london everything that i was a teenage bride and had some you know and i had two children and i had the support of my biological family and my church family one hundred percent the biggest thing my mother allowed her to be in charge of everything and she wanted to be in charge she  johnny come lately there's fifteen years difference that my sister and myself and she wanted to have that control and she was getting older so she wanted to control me for me to do what she said and looking for the respect but the biggest mistake that made when the children became twelve and thirteen years old was taking them back in my church family that she'll i knew what to do and i'm proud of my grandchildren and my great deals does nieces nephews cousins there are children that are in different hospitals that need your he bear that they didn't have any and i had to really pull any body can have a baby and if you want to serve don't take my word for it i didn't read just search the word of god look what happened so  down the street it's gonna yeah absolutely absolutely it is so mad you know on that note about stretching today in new york there were bus loads of people leaving for albany to protests and talk about  the raising of rents affordable housing and how it is almost become virtually impossible to maintain an apartment here in new york i think on a minimum wage it's it's it may be but the question becomes how do i pay this money that is increasing if incomes don't increase as well as not going up if job opportunities do not exist for certain people is really kind of a fine line between those who have in those who don't and it seems is all they just crushing the middle class right right and creating all these extra  sure they're not because i'm now this is i mean i envy those who are as they know exactly what they're doing which is how to use the same heavy drinking billy or and there are other places new york i suspect san francisco is so expensive putting up two buildings in park slope i believe homeless shelters and it was jam packed in this meeting because they did not want these homes which they you know the people that were there were the new residents because you know part isn't that whole area was hispanic and everyone in there was white so who are the homeless shelters for i'm curious to know where these people go we were these people going to go on with the federal thing that trump came down with basically with my teacher saying that if you're an immigrant you know you have legal children you still have to go because there's two hundred thousand people waiting on the road to get these apartment homeless shelter people ready to swell that building they are building a new museum for the statue of liberty dedicated to her and higher existence it's near the statue of liberty the statue of liberty really yes and it's a know you know and but understanding that once you go abroad you begin to realize who you are you begin to see what your ancestors i mean like really feel what they created in  and this and that i get such as sadness and a i then i get angry because we're king abroad and places like albania and kosovo and going to china with translator sitting next to me really was just there for me not to encourage i would say things in china a young girl asked me lu why are you so happy and i tried to be delicate and instead of mentioning god or freedom or choices i said you know there's a big world and i like to know things in the world in china you know say it in a certain way and the translators stopped me you know not lots of  only world no no take backs but it was things like oh my god only that i was down well when i was there and i would come home and just breathe and say as much as people want to complain i'm ho i am here and i'm going to be here and even when i thought about living modeling for so long i worked abroad even when i thought one day i woke up and said i don't have to put up with this i'm like i lived in paris for twelve years i'm going to spend the rest of my life in italy but then i realize that would be running with my tail between my legs and i'm not going let anybody run me not that i am a part of it's one thing if you leave for leaving it's another thing to l generalize but there is still too much of a slave like mentality expecting things there is generation poverty you are going to have another baby on the have another me it's ok for me to live this way it's ok for me to throw this ok i think the world to me something and the people i know that come from other places will sleep nine and a one bedroom even the african people come in braid hair they bring young people over and tell them you can sleep in this one bedroom apartment ten of you and you're going to work two you make x amount of dollars then you're on your own and they are and they're four dollars and five dollars a day but if i look at a young minority girl and say you may have to flip fries me two you can get a burger not doing that baby we don't have to buy a new chain we can but this sneaker then i'm not going to do that because some of what you say may one hundred percent be right but i don't agree with what she says when they come here and things are available for them here come off the boat go with me and i mean to say it like that but go get your welfare or whatever it is and now you're set up ok we've been here we've  numerous atrocities we have work you know some jobs oh if we can't get a job we have walked the line of being a black person that is prevented from you know go to the grocery store fat in their neighborhood and were able to go into a pharmacy in their neighborhood where once before they didn't have a choice so they have to go into their neighborhood and support the  welfare and i just want to sit home everybody wants  if it's a you know something in your favor but i don't believe that i don't think people want to sit around and i think that there is going to various different things that prevent people from getting jobs and job opportunities for them i mean come on they could even have the right to vote you're going to prison  can vote here let's let's let's let's create a list and send it out and tell them don't come here you know you're not going to let's let's read more on this area so that you can plan a property over here let's not hire you here going to have a psychological impact on the person if they're not going to want to do how can i do i can't get to support because i can't afford because i can't get a job now what am i going to i'm going to go in a homeless shelter and i got to go x the server you  my father looked white he said baby you can be called now go under your breath you got two choices when they find out he said you get a job in a place where they don't want black people or you stand outside and you protest but on the tell you you protest in front of that white man's place and he's not spanish person then you all make a difference then you but you can say whoa is me whoa was me and i'm given up do you believe that this is what our people are saying or is it just maybe a small fragment of those people don't think that i don't think living in a same family the grandmother great great grandmother all of them and grandparents and great grandparents are taking care of young kids when i see that yeah and the mothers with the crack yes drugs were put on the street but nobody ma as probation because she is working she said you're right i'm wrong i was caught i did it i'm wrong i'm not like the other ones who want to fight how do you feel about that concern you know they were wrong well you know there's a lot of young people that are fighting hard to get in these different schools and for someone to just pay for that opportunity and take it out of their hands you know it's not right they can get up to ten months and i think something should happen me too but there is you know plans in you know a is life experience that people have endured so what we're talking about kids getting in though that's not hey look if you think about the atrocities in the roles that were done to african americans that prevented them from deal with sharks and if somebody passes an exam to be in a room where everybody else is talking trigonometry and speaking three languages i'm one more comfortable and i learn i get more kids who say i was so bored  my classroom low and i was so advanced that that's why i got in trouble so i have no problem what if you take a test you are on a certain thing i don't think you should have been getting the language not only explain to me why seventy percent of the people that know have our education saw its chancellor who says get rid of it he came in the door get rid of this get rid of that he wanted to equalize everything and look at things from their perspective be close it's  get beautiful women of color i get others but i often get told why didn't x amount make the top i can tell you why because they come with incredible bodies can walk their behind off and did not practice interview here and they're selecting them but there's some point the vote opens up down and never come chooses in america that's choosing only based on who is watching absolute certain look at large majority of the people those watching the voice absolutely what voices eventually get picked oh absolutely if they want more people watching the voice i was holding then maybe you would see braces when absolutely so at the same time we're just saying you're in there you see where the problem lies they're not doing interviews or whatever else like that somebody has to be in place to change to instruct it artificial intelligence i need to control me i think somewhere i'm on the line as they begin to learn your behavior it's going to control your behavior and who says you know all these movies in which the artificial intelligence friday cinema and they were back at magic johnson theater the closing night and we also have the tech tech tech people expo so we're going to have all the different technology so that people could see what is the next level of storytelling it can be you goals virtual reality glasses and you can see things moving as i just love it three hundred and sixty cameras and stuff because as an editor it opens up different dimensions like you're editing here one dimensional but you're if you have this three hundred and sixty camera you can edit the feet moving locations on different film festivals and things like that they show it or they have it available but you couldn't pay me my thing is if you really want to want to learn make it free so they can have facts and so that's the goal accessibility providing these venues for the filmmaker need the numbers yet true we often say there's nothing in the community for us to do there's nothing entrusting this is something young people are going to marvel at bring your grandchild then let them see things and open up those doors we often hear talk about finding your passion now on that note aren't there are some documentaries or shorts you want to still really look out for that you've watched in your life there is one film that really just messed me up it's called the act of and i had told no hope and she laid on the community cop and i you know i don't know i think i gave in the last story but it's about a young girl seventeen year old girl from june and basically she killed her mistress
