looking forward to this because you know here's this is our fourth of july show and we're here to celebrate america's two hundred forty second birthday and america's independence day and independence day also refer to as the fourth of july or july fourth it's a federal holiday in the united states commemorating the adoption of the declaration of independence on july fourth seventeen seventy six the continental cup to clear that the thirteenth american colonies regarded in cells as a new nation the united states of them america and we're no longer part of the british empire the congress actually voted to declare independence two days earlier on july second so i want to ask you christo what does the fourth of july or independence state mean to you in your opinion right i feel like it means that everyone's comments together as one in just celebrate and that we have freedom as american citizens that we just have the freedom to voice our opinion just be free and it's just amazing because other countries like that they don't have that they don't have the stable freedom that we have and i feel like it's just amazing and it's just a great family to be able to express beautiful because it's like to me independent states to me is like a tie to celebrate america rebirth because you know that's when it becomes more independent and you have more nations coming as time went on even as our founding fathers used to say was like it's like here's a little history of early fourth of july celebrations like in the pre revolutionary years colonists had held an annual celebration is part of like the american revolution when she's like holding the tap and i believe it does say july fourth on the memory of honor of america's independence reign so it's it's a good thing you that too i celebrate the holiday and you know and we hope you're enjoying your holiday with us here so and so i also want to as like what makes the fourth of july so magic for you what do you like to do on fourth of july usually on the fourth of july i like to spend time with my family we usually have like a cook it up like a barbecue and we invite our other family members over and we invite our friends

it was almost like you me like a new year's eve party it was because i remember that time as well not to go for the holiday even though this is the fourth of july and this was also the same situation when i went attending a new year's eve party that my great aunt had host back then so the memories i just will never forget them you know it's like you know you could always look back and just be like i was the great thing about i remember the holiday yeah you know who else ration of whiskey for the men and six weeks earlier they left in american civil aviation to depart on their famous journey and that's probably why they were selling the fourth of july because they were doing some exploration here for you at least have to to see the view twice this happened to me because there was a time i remember i wanted to see the fireworks i couldn't stand it be michael and stay too long because it was raining  you ever worked on the fourth of july before or yes i actually have all worked on a full for july and how was it like it was very busy because everyone i remember working on it was that one of my jobs only b and everyone had to come in the last minute trying to get a lot of shirts because

celebrate a holiday yeah we're going to continue to celebrate the holiday right here on that note we're going to continue to celebrate july fourth and it's america's independence day and we'll be right back  guided spotlight it's back and this week guided spotlight for me of the night is sharing her spoken word and talks about life hosting her own show  welcome back you know childish gambino rose music video this is america is breaking records all over you too and cher throughout social media it is packed with a lot of imagery of what is happening around you know i got i got to tell you that if you all check out this music video he'll you'll probably understand of what is happening in our country because this is the point where you're still dealing with a lot of racism and gun violence and he mentioned when when he showed the video when he shot like all the choirs it was like a it's like it was really graphic it was i was i was so sho problems that's going on into music so other people around the world could be they wouldn't pay attention to it and i don't just let him go by like nothing's happening but i notice that as artists when people talk about life decisions that's going in a world in a problems that more people start to pay attention to it and that's good to get everybody involved and see how we could change the world and change these problems keep going on happening right yeah and not only that it's like i remember reading something where  remember reading something about that i have to double check on what that was remember reading something about that here i don't think i have this with me do if i do i know we can trust oh but  well all i could tell you right now is dan not that after he did he perform the song childish gambino came all came on to to perform this is a i mean not childish gambino well he did come on actually yes he did come on to perform this is america chance to rappers open mike a venue and so and so it and ever since what that when i saw this is america by childish gambino it brought me back to the original version this is america where it was performed by kim weston could you up play that audio is so because there is a difference of comparison but this is the fact that you still have like the jim crow laws are the slavery or racism still going on kim weston's version of this is america is like when you fight for your freedom fight to live until you get your rights earned and until the laws are pain and in today's world of this childish gambino this is america it's almost exactly that with but she is the host of manifest many t v time and enslaved star channel and believe me she's done this for a long time and even on me on her last appearance so without further ado please welcome back to do it is because my diploma because i have to pay my bill deacon and we forgetting ourselves said the deep hole found power in doing what you came here to do first so how many times do you do it is like a day or week this is when i react and scream because it happened i screamed i get extremely angry but when i realize it and catch myself and pull myself up and start to breathe so the need they start to come down to said the number eight is the number of bets and when it's sign you release everything and you do that three times and up bet you whatever situation you are in you'll be surprised of how it's cool transform a change or even and she not only produces and host her own show she also does spoken word and poetry and her spoken word that she's about to print st she talks about sisterhood and how we can lift up females sister sister i met you as a young child in the back then the only way i knew how to speak was through pure emotion squeals and screams of pure joy and love connection where words weren't even necessary but over the years that bond was lost and that joy was buried behind our subconscious covered with the dirt insecurities jealousy and comparisons dear sister why can't i just adore you why can't i love your beauty that if i stare for a second too long then thoughts start to come up and questions start to arise from insecurities that only you can see stop it just stop it because i will not allow them to tear us apart i see your strength a deeper love beauty faith and grace that only is creases of your smile take off that mask free yourself allow the world to see you as i see you defy gravity as we smile with the sun cascading over our glory you are the sun that you are the sun that birth to earth that gave life to humanity you are that imperfectly perfect balance of strength and emotion you are the purest form of art sister you are everything dear sister  sister i love you dear sister i am you times we're competing with each other is this fake competition out there and so i just felt that it was important for me to speak to other women that look like me and let them know that like we're all in this together and we can all drive together so that's really what the poem was about entertainment news show and i highlight you know black film television and web so all of that and i just give a light on you know what is real and how media affects real life and how art is presented to media right and that's so i mean it it's all about like repetition and consistency and i feel like the more you do it and the more you learn in the more you can give to others that are trying to do the same thing that you're trying to do more and so you know that's my inspiration is there anyone you you want to give a shout to or do you want to see on camera that got shoot to where you are in today's world i mean of course my mama but i just really appreciate a tight knit circle i  so so i i really i have no more questions but look why don't you tell us is there a message you want to to give and he went on in particular any shots here to the any youth in the time is going i think it's about time tonight that we check out the fireworks show and know we want to give a special thanks a special shout to me the way she told us where are we get fire music and you know what guys have it and you know what this is just been a great show and we have all of you to thank for this so without further adieu happy fourth of july everyone
