<i>We have it growing next to some hibiscus.</i>

157
00:07:08,302 --> 00:07:10,596
<i>Hibiscus, you can make</i>
<i>a beautiful iced tea with.</i>

158
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,514
<i>Yeah, love it.</i>

159
00:07:11,597 --> 00:07:14,267
<i>We have some purslane,</i>
<i>one of my favorite things to grow.</i>

160
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:16,769
<i>-Purslane?</i>
<i>-It grows in sidewalks, grows all over.</i>

161
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:18,980
{\an8}<i>But it's one</i>

162
00:07:19,063 --> 00:07:21,816
{\an8}<i>It has a lemony taste to it.</i>

<i>The open gas tank</i>
<i>makes me a little bit </i><span style="style2">très </i><i>nervous.</i>

216
00:09:18,891 --> 00:09:21,811
<i>-It hasn't been in here that long.</i>
<i>-You know what excuses are?</i>

217
00:09:21,894 --> 00:09:26,065
<i>They're tools of incompetence,</i>
<i>which build monuments of nothingness.</i>

218
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:29,569
<i>And all I'm hearing is</i>
<i>excuse, excuse, excuse, excuse.</i>

<i>We're gonna stop the excuses,</i>

221
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:40,371
<i>[Tan] I am very confused</i>
<i>'cause this space is actually very tidy.</i>

222

<i>[gags]</i>

234
00:10:08,357 --> 00:10:10,192
<i>[Antoni] Oh, and they're moldy!</i>

235
00:10:10,276 --> 00:10:13,696
<i>-Why are these tomatoes in the fridge?!</i>
<i>-[Michael] It's compost.</i>

236
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:14,905
<i>[Antoni] These poor babies.</i>

237
00:10:14,989 --> 00:10:18,034
<i>[Karamo] I did not know</i>
<i>that tomatoes don't go in the fridge.</i>

238
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,368
<i>[Antoni] They get gritty.</i>

239
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:21,078
<i>That's our lizard, Spike.</i>

240
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:22,371
<i>[Tan] Oh wow.</i>

241
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:25,291
<i>For me, I'm, like, a cat and dog person</i>

<i>[Antoni] Oh my God. Oh my God. Whoa! Whoa!</i>

245
00:10:31,589 --> 00:10:33,507
<i>-Can I touch?</i>
<i>-[Bobby] That's a lizard, Antoni.</i>

246
00:10:33,591 --> 00:10:35,134
<i>[Kaila] Yeah, you can hold him.</i>

247
00:10:35,718 --> 00:10:36,761
<i>Oh my God.</i>

248
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:38,346
<i>[Antoni] Bearded dragon.</i>

249
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:39,930
<i>The name is cute.</i>

250
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:41,557
<i>Tan, I'm just gonna stand here.</i>

251
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:42,558
<i>It's not cuddly.</i>

252
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:45,227
<i>-[Karamo] You wanna touch? He's sweet.</i>
<i>-[Antoni] I'm good, thanks.</i>

253
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:47,438
<i>[Karamo] I'll take a reptile</i>
<i>in a heartbeat.</i>

254
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:50,691
<i>I think we're kindred spirits</i>
<i>because neither of us ever get cold.</i>

255
00:10:50,775 --> 00:10:53,611
<i>Ooh. It just gives me the chill</i>
<i>when I think about it.</i>

256
00:10:53,694 --> 00:10:55,196
<i>And this is my closet.</i>

257

<i>-[Antoni] Tanny, do you need any help?</i>

260
00:11:03,371 --> 00:11:05,539
<i>-You can stay and watch if you want.</i>
<i>-Okay.</i>

261
00:11:05,623 --> 00:11:08,209
<i>There's just dirt everywhere.</i>

262
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:13,339
<i>I like that. I'm not mad at that at all.</i>

263
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:15,508
<i>He's got some stuff I quite like.</i>

264
00:11:15,591 --> 00:11:16,509
<i>Love that.</i>

265
00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:18,219
<i>Nice. Happy with that.</i>

266
00:11:18,302 --> 00:11:19,553
<i>Hate that.</i>

267
00:11:19,637 --> 00:11:22,473
<i>-And then I toss it on the floor.</i>
<i>-Wait. Whoa! Why do you hate that?</i>

268
00:11:22,556 --> 00:11:24,350
<i>[Tan] 'Cause it's not cute.</i>

269
00:11:25,017 --> 00:11:26,394
<i>Oh, there we go.</i>

270
00:11:26,477 --> 00:11:28,187

<i>-It was very chaotic, for sure.</i>
<i>-Yeah.</i>

276

<i>Your face ain't telling me that.</i>

466
00:19:43,390 --> 00:19:47,728
<i>So I think</i>
<i>we need to work on the swag a little bit.</i>

467
00:19:47,811 --> 00:19:49,354
<i>-Okay.</i>
<i>-The confidence a little bit.</i>

468
00:19:49,438 --> 00:19:50,314
<i>Yeah.</i>

<i>-[Tan] Yes?</i>
<i>-Yes.</i>

<i>Oh, I already love.</i>

<i>Every now and then,</i>
<i>when I take somebody shopping,</i>

474
00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:01,909
<i>there's that moment you realize</i>

475
00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:05,245
<i>that they see what a difference</i>
<i>their attire makes to their life.</i>

476

<i>-[Michael] These shoes are everything.</i>
<i>-Really? You like them?</i>

477

<i>-[Michael] These shoes are super cool.</i>
<i>-I love the chunky loafer.</i>

478
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:14,838
<i>I know, ordinarily,</i>
<i>to go into a corporate meeting,</i>

479
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:17,925
<i>a lot of people wouldn't wear jeans,</i>
<i>but you don't have a regular job.</i>

<i>You're showing who you are.</i>

481
00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:22,304
<i>I wanted you to feel a little more casual</i>
<i>than something stuffy.</i>

482
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:24,723
<i>I really like this.</i>
<i>This is, like, very timeless.</i>

483
00:20:24,806 --> 00:20:26,934
<i>It's not very businessy,</i>
<i>not super businessy,</i>

484
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:29,686
<i>but it's like,</i>
<i>"Hey, I'm here to get shit done."</i>

485
00:20:29,770 --> 00:20:30,646
<i>Great.</i>

486
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:36,026
<i>So I want to show him there is a person</i>
<i>that needs to be let out…</i>

487
00:20:36,109 --> 00:20:37,527
<i>Give a model version.</i>

488
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:39,613
<i>…and you can do that with clothes.</i>

489
00:20:39,696 --> 00:20:41,823
<i>So work it.</i>

490
00:20:43,283 --> 00:20:44,117
<i>Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.</i>

491
00:20:44,201 --> 00:20:46,912

<i>I see a version of him</i>
<i>that I haven't seen before.</i>

496

<i>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gorgeous.</i>

<i>These clothes make me happy.</i>

499
00:21:01,677 --> 00:21:05,973
<i>Completely different than anything</i>
<i>that I've ever purchased or ever put on.</i>

500
00:21:06,056 --> 00:21:09,643
<i>I'm gonna work on getting something else,</i>
<i>many more things that will make sense.</i>

501
00:21:09,726 --> 00:21:11,979
<i>For now, let's get you</i>
<i>back into your regular clothes.</i>

502
00:21:12,062 --> 00:21:13,981
<i>-And let's get you outta here.</i>
<i>-Okay.</i>

503
00:21:14,064 --> 00:21:15,649
<i>So much more to work on.</i>

504
00:21:15,732 --> 00:21:17,526

508
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:28,912
<i>It was really important</i>
<i>to bring Michael here today…</i>

509

<i>Hi!</i>

510
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:35,085
<i>…because I can relate</i>
<i>to not putting yourself out there</i>

511
00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:38,839
<i>because you kinda won't let go</i>
<i>of the past.</i>

512
00:21:38,922 --> 00:21:42,217
<i>-I heard that there is a graduate program…</i>
<i>-Yes.</i>

513

<i>…that you've been wanting to get into.</i>

514
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:46,013
<i>Yes. This is the credentials that I need</i>

515
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:48,432
<i>to be able to move up</i>
<i>into the executive world.</i>

516
00:21:48,515 --> 00:21:52,728
<i>I feel like maybe</i>
<i>your not doing the application</i>

517
00:21:52,811 --> 00:21:55,480
<i>might stem</i>
<i>from a little fear of failure, maybe?</i>

518
00:21:55,564 --> 00:21:57,482
<i>Even though my boss, who runs the program,</i>

519
00:21:57,566 --> 00:21:59,568
<i>is like, "You need to chill.</i>
<i>You'll be fine,"</i>

520
00:21:59,651 --> 00:22:01,445
<i>the part that I haven't done is a part</i>

521
00:22:01,528 --> 00:22:03,905
<i>where I have to,</i>
<i>like, write an essay about myself.</i>

522
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:06,199
<i>And 'cause I'm sort of ashamed</i>
<i>of those things,</i>

523
00:22:06,283 --> 00:22:09,619
<i>someone rejecting me because of that,</i>
<i>even if that's not why,</i>

524
00:22:09,703 --> 00:22:11,663
<i>that's what I'm gonna think</i>
<i>is the reason why,</i>

525
00:22:11,747 --> 00:22:14,708
<i>and that's just gonna reinforce</i>
<i>me feeling like a piece of shit.</i>

526
00:22:15,292 --> 00:22:18,962
<i>I hear you. I mean, I loved school,</i>
<i>and for me, it didn't work out.</i>

527
00:22:19,046 --> 00:22:21,048
<i>You know, I left home at 15,</i>

528
00:22:21,131 --> 00:22:23,925
<i>so I still don't have a GED</i>
<i>or a high-school diploma.</i>

529
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:27,137
<i>But I spent a big part of my life</i>
<i>being very ashamed of that</i>

530
00:22:27,220 --> 00:22:28,972
<i>and letting that hold me back</i>

531
00:22:29,056 --> 00:22:32,476
<i>because I felt that I… I failed.</i>

532
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:35,103
<i>-[Michael] Yeah.</i>
<i>-And I really let it define me.</i>

533
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:38,899
<i>It still makes me uncomfortable,</i>
<i>um, so I understand that.</i>

534
00:22:38,982 --> 00:22:42,527
<i>Even though it's something I really want,</i>
<i>that doubt just always wins,</i>

535
00:22:42,611 --> 00:22:44,738
<i>and it just stops me</i>
<i>from doing a lot of things.</i>

536
00:22:44,821 --> 00:22:47,449
<i>But you are worthy,</i>
<i>and you are good enough,</i>

537
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:54,164
<i>and you know how to make things work</i>
<i>outside of the normal way of doing things,</i>

538
00:22:54,247 --> 00:22:56,083
<i>which… Look around in the world.</i>

<i>Those are the people</i>
<i>that aren't just cogs.</i>

540
00:22:59,669 --> 00:23:02,714
<i>And it's the people</i>
<i>that aren't afraid to try things</i>

541
00:23:02,798 --> 00:23:04,591
<i>that are gonna be the biggest successes.</i>

542
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:08,637
<i>-So I wanna pull up the application today.</i>
<i>-Okay.</i>

543
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,263
<i>And I want you and I to finish it.</i>

544
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:11,264
<i>-[Michael] Okay.</i>
<i>-Okay?</i>

<i>[energetic music plays]</i>

546
00:23:23,735 --> 00:23:26,488
<i>The final portion of this,</i>
<i>what is the question?</i>

547
00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:29,241
<i>Filling in the gaps in my education.</i>

548
00:23:29,324 --> 00:23:31,785
<i>How do you plan on elaborating on that?</i>

549
00:23:31,868 --> 00:23:34,538
<i>I left school</i>
<i>because I was just extremely depressed.</i>

550
00:23:34,621 --> 00:23:37,749
<i>I didn't feel really comfortable</i>
<i>living by myself anymore.</i>

551
00:23:37,833 --> 00:23:39,626
<i>And so I was like,</i>
<i>"I'm gonna go back home."</i>

552
00:23:39,709 --> 00:23:42,921
<i>I was just going to school just to go.</i>
<i>I wasn't doing any work.</i>

553
00:23:43,004 --> 00:23:45,424
<i>-Just because you're supposed to.</i>
<i>-Right, exactly.</i>

554
00:23:45,507 --> 00:23:47,384
<i>And then, yeah, I just worked.</i>

555
00:23:47,467 --> 00:23:51,513
<i>I think that probably you're worried</i>
<i>that they're judging the reasons why.</i>

556
00:23:51,596 --> 00:23:54,224
<i>And I even feel like</i>
<i>my experience isn't valid</i>

557
00:23:54,307 --> 00:23:56,226
<i>and no one will take me seriously.</i>

558
00:23:56,726 --> 00:23:59,438
<i>Yeah. How long have you wanted to do this?</i>

559
00:23:59,521 --> 00:24:01,064
<i>Um, the master's program?</i>

560
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:04,359
<i>It started a few years ago,</i>
<i>maybe, like, two or three years ago.</i>

561
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:07,404
<i>As soon as she saw this, she was like,</i>
<i>"You should consider taking this."</i>

562
00:24:07,487 --> 00:24:10,949
<i>"You know what you have to do first?</i>
<i>You have to get your bachelor's."</i>

00:24:11,032 --> 00:24:13,243
<i>I was like,</i>
<i>"Yeah, I have to get that done."</i>

564
00:24:13,326 --> 00:24:17,581
<i>And so, uh, we started making moves</i>
<i>for me to be able to go back to school.</i>

00:24:17,664 --> 00:24:20,542
<i>Yeah. Let me just</i>

00:26:51,192 --> 00:26:52,068
<i>I adapt.</i>

620
00:26:52,152 --> 00:26:53,236
<i>You know what that is?</i>

621
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,741
<i>That's a little boy saying, "I don't know</i>
<i>what's going to happen to me tomorrow."</i>

622
00:26:58,325 --> 00:27:00,076
<i>-But that's also a survival mechanism.</i>
<i>-Yeah.</i>

623
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,412
<i>What parts of your childhood</i>
<i>were the most out of control?</i>

624
00:27:02,495 --> 00:27:04,456
<i>What are the memories</i>
<i>that stick out to you?</i>

625
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:07,751
<i>I don't even know.</i>
<i>There's so many memories.</i>

626
00:27:07,834 --> 00:27:10,045
<i>Like, so many late-night drives,</i>

627
00:27:10,128 --> 00:27:13,256
<i>so many times being parked</i>
<i>in super sketchy neighborhoods</i>

628
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:15,634
<i>having to be just alone.</i>

629
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:19,179
<i>It was nuts. You had no idea</i>
<i>what the next day was gonna bring you.</i>

630
00:27:19,262 --> 00:27:21,640
<i>You didn't know…</i>
<i>what was dinner gonna be like?</i>

631
00:27:21,723 --> 00:27:22,807
<i>Are you gonna have dinner?</i>

632
00:27:22,891 --> 00:27:24,934
<i>They're memories</i>
<i>I don't like to think about.</i>

633
00:27:25,018 --> 00:27:26,394
<i>Where was your mom during that?</i>

634
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:29,648
<i>There was a point</i>
<i>where I tried to live with my mom,</i>

635
00:27:29,731 --> 00:27:31,316
<i>and the answer was just no.</i>

636
00:27:31,399 --> 00:27:34,277
<i>That was probably one of the worst times</i>
<i>of my life, for sure.</i>

637
00:27:34,361 --> 00:27:36,404
<i>Like, I'd rather</i>
<i>not talk about these things</i>

638
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:37,822
<i>'cause I'm, like, I'm over it.</i>

639
00:27:37,906 --> 00:27:40,533
<i>But you're not over it.</i>
<i>It's affecting your everyday life.</i>

640
00:27:40,617 --> 00:27:43,328
<i>Like, you go through it,</i>
<i>and you come out okay.</i>

641
00:27:43,411 --> 00:27:45,538
<i>-So I tell myself, like…</i>
<i>-But… No, no, no.</i>

642
00:27:45,622 --> 00:27:48,249
<i>That little boy needed somebody</i>
<i>to be there for him,</i>

643
00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:49,584
<i>protect him, and love him</i>

644
00:27:49,668 --> 00:27:53,046
<i>and tell him that he deserves</i>
<i>a better future than what he was given.</i>

645
00:27:53,129 --> 00:27:55,048
<i>You got rejected</i>
<i>as a child by your mother.</i>

646
00:27:55,131 --> 00:27:58,009
<i>How does it make you feel?</i>
<i>I don't wanna hear, "I'm okay with it."</i>

647
00:27:58,093 --> 00:28:00,261
<i>I wouldn't be</i>
<i>having a conversation with you</i>

648
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:01,971
<i>if it was not affecting you.</i>

649
00:28:02,055 --> 00:28:03,515
<i>I mean, it hurts a lot.</i>

650
00:28:03,598 --> 00:28:06,434
<i>I just think to myself,</i>
<i>like, "Why bring it up?"</i>

651
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:08,812
<i>If something is buried</i>
<i>and it's not tended to,</i>

652
00:28:08,895 --> 00:28:11,439
<i>does it ever flourish through the ground?</i>

653
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:14,275
<i>-Does it ever bloom to its full capacity?</i>
<i>-No.</i>

654
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,820
<i>You're that seed underground</i>
<i>that needs to blossom,</i>

655
00:28:16,903 --> 00:28:19,864
<i>that wants to have the life they deserve.</i>
<i>You're not allowing yourself</i>

656
00:28:19,948 --> 00:28:22,534
<i>because you say,</i>
<i>"What's the point of bringing it up?"</i>

657
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:24,953
<i>The point of bringing it up</i>
<i>is so that you can grow.</i>

658
00:28:25,036 --> 00:28:25,912
<i>There's a saying,</i>

659
00:28:25,995 --> 00:28:30,375
<i>just because it's not your fault</i>
<i>doesn't mean it's not your responsibility.</i>

660
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,336
<i>Talking to Jason… I'm talking to Jas…</i>

661
00:28:33,420 --> 00:28:35,338
<i>Why do I keep saying Jason? [chuckles]</i>

662
00:28:35,922 --> 00:28:38,133
<i>Hold on, because he reminds me</i>
<i>of my son Jason.</i>

663
00:28:38,216 --> 00:28:39,884
<i>That's what that Freudian slip was.</i>

664
00:28:39,968 --> 00:28:43,346
<i>Michael reminds me of my sons,</i>
<i>and I just feel like that's why I'm here,</i>

665
00:28:43,430 --> 00:28:45,557
<i>to show him how he can get past this</i>

666
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,350
<i>and give him some extra support.</i>

667
00:28:47,434 --> 00:28:50,228
<i>So I actually invited</i>
<i>a couple of friends here…</i>

668
00:28:50,311 --> 00:28:51,229
<i>Okay.</i>

669
00:28:51,312 --> 00:28:53,982
<i>…who are from 100 Black Men.</i>
<i>Have you ever heard of that?</i>

670
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:54,941
<i>I brought them here</i>

671
00:28:55,024 --> 00:28:57,652
<i>because some of them</i>
<i>have gone through similar experiences.</i>

672
00:28:57,736 --> 00:29:00,613
<i>One of them was my direct mentor</i>
<i>when I was your age.</i>

673
00:29:00,697 --> 00:29:02,574
<i>-How do you feel about that?</i>
<i>-Um…</i>

674
00:29:03,533 --> 00:29:04,617
<i>I'm just nervous.</i>

675
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:09,080
<i>Wouldn't it be nice to talk to somebody</i>
<i>and say, "I need support"?</i>

676
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:11,374
<i>It's not something I've done</i>
<i>for most of my life.</i>

677
00:29:11,458 --> 00:29:13,543
<i>I don't ask for help.</i>
<i>I just get it done myself.</i>

678
00:29:13,626 --> 00:29:16,087
<i>The 100 Black Men of New Orleans</i>
<i>is a mentoring program</i>

679
00:29:16,171 --> 00:29:19,174
<i>that supports young African Americans,</i>
<i>which is why I've asked them</i>

680
00:29:19,257 --> 00:29:20,925
<i>to come here today and meet Michael.</i>

681
00:29:21,009 --> 00:29:23,636
<i>I want Michael to know</i>
<i>that he has support in the community</i>

682
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,305
<i>that's available to him.</i>

683
00:29:25,388 --> 00:29:29,726
<i>I asked you if you ever met somebody</i>
<i>who is Native American and Black.</i>

684
00:29:29,809 --> 00:29:31,186
<i>This man right here.</i>

685
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:33,646
<i>I'm a member</i>
<i>of the United Nation of Houma Indians.</i>

686
00:29:33,730 --> 00:29:36,524
{\an8}<i>I'm executive director of the New Orleans</i>
<i>Regional Black Chamber of Commerce.</i>

687
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:39,486
{\an8}<i>I'm the president of 100 Black Men</i>
<i>Metro New Orleans chapter.</i>

688
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:41,529
{\an8}<i>I already told you about the gentleman,</i>

689
00:29:41,613 --> 00:29:44,407
{\an8}<i>so Darrell was there for me</i>
<i>as I found out I was a father,</i>

690
00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:48,119
<i>gave me a job, gave me support,</i>
<i>just allowed me to feel safe.</i>

691
00:29:48,203 --> 00:29:50,872
<i>This is not just meeting,</i>
<i>having an interaction</i>

692
00:29:50,955 --> 00:29:54,375
<i>of, like, you saying, "Let's meet you,"</i>
<i>and then y'all don't go anywhere.</i>

693
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,295
<i>This has to be some people</i>
<i>you can talk to and you can turn to.</i>

694
00:29:57,378 --> 00:30:01,966
<i>And remember that yesterday is history.</i>
<i>Tomorrow's a mystery.</i>

695
00:30:02,050 --> 00:30:03,343
<i>All you have is right now.</i>

696
00:30:03,426 --> 00:30:06,387
<i>Anxiety kicks in when you don't know</i>
<i>what's gonna happen tomorrow?</i>

697
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:07,931
<i>-[Michael] Yeah.</i>
<i>-Forget all about it.</i>

698
00:30:08,014 --> 00:30:10,433
<i>You're sitting with your boys now.</i>
<i>Yeah, relax.</i>

699
00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:13,561
<i>Always thinking about the past,</i>
<i>trying to prepare for the future.</i>

700
00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:16,064
<i>-That is a hundred percent me.</i>
<i>-Everybody does that.</i>

701
00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:18,316
<i>People just get help with mechanisms</i>
<i>to deal with that.</i>

702
00:30:18,399 --> 00:30:20,318
<i>So this has to feel different for you.</i>

703
00:30:20,401 --> 00:30:21,569
<i>Have you ever had spaces</i>

704
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:25,782
<i>where you've been around</i>
<i>just a group of Black men</i>

705
00:30:25,865 --> 00:30:27,909
<i>who are saying,</i>
<i>"We're here to support you"?</i>

706
00:30:27,992 --> 00:30:29,035
<i>No, never.</i>

707
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:31,246
<i>I will say, no, I…</i>

708
00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:33,581
<i>Like, it's uncomfortable,</i>
<i>but not in a bad way.</i>

709
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:35,708
<i>I've just always felt very lost.</i>

710
00:30:35,792 --> 00:30:39,087
<i>If you just keep doing you,</i>
<i>the right people will find you.</i>

711
00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:40,463
<i>You're never alone.</i>

712
00:30:40,547 --> 00:30:43,508
<i>Having to constantly explain myself</i>
<i>and not always having the answers,</i>

713
00:30:43,591 --> 00:30:45,009
<i>most of the time not having answers,</i>

714
00:30:45,093 --> 00:30:48,179
<i>just kinda, like, puts you</i>
<i>in this downward spiral.</i>

715
00:30:48,263 --> 00:30:51,182
<i>Going back to school</i>
<i>in New Orleans after Katrina was…</i>

716
00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:52,183
<i>That wasn't happening.</i>

717
00:30:52,267 --> 00:30:55,353
<i>I was not gonna go to one of</i>
<i>these high schools set up like a prison.</i>

718
00:30:55,436 --> 00:30:56,563
<i>Once I got the GED…</i>

719
00:30:56,646 --> 00:30:59,148
<i>Getting into college is really hard</i>
<i>when you have a GED.</i>

720
00:30:59,232 --> 00:31:02,068
<i>Once I got in,</i>
<i>they made me take extra courses</i>

721
00:31:02,151 --> 00:31:03,403
<i>because I don't have a diploma.</i>

722
00:31:03,486 --> 00:31:04,404
<i>You did all that?</i>

723
00:31:04,487 --> 00:31:06,823
<i>I just graduated</i>
<i>with my bachelor's in sociology.</i>

724
00:31:06,906 --> 00:31:08,408
<i>-[Eric] Yeah!</i>
<i>-Thank you.</i>

725
00:31:08,491 --> 00:31:10,577
<i>But in spite of all that,</i>
<i>you did all that.</i>

726
00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:12,620
<i>-And you graduated.</i>
<i>-Just graduated, yeah.</i>

727
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:14,873
<i>-All right, let's turn the page.</i>
<i>-There you go.</i>

728
00:31:14,956 --> 00:31:16,749
<i>What do you wanna do next? What's next?</i>

729
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:20,128
<i>Next is going to Loyola to do</i>
<i>their Master of Environmental Law program.</i>

730
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:22,005
<i>-[Jon] Very nice.</i>
<i>-Because you wanna do what?</i>

731
00:31:22,088 --> 00:31:24,549
<i>Be executive director</i>
<i>of the nonprofit I work for.</i>

732
00:31:24,632 --> 00:31:26,134
<i>[Jon] Your journey ain't over.</i>

733
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:28,553
<i>You're still learning.</i>
<i>You're still going forward.</i>

734
00:31:28,636 --> 00:31:30,096
<i>You know, you're a pioneer.</i>

735
00:31:30,179 --> 00:31:32,765
<i>You might not call yourself that,</i>
<i>but that's what you are.</i>

736
00:31:32,849 --> 00:31:34,225
<i>You're practicing pioneership.</i>

737
00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:36,895
<i>-Ever been called a pioneer?</i>
<i>-Never thought of myself that way.</i>

738
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:39,355
<i>That's a great way</i>
<i>to describe you, a pioneer.</i>

739
00:31:39,439 --> 00:31:42,817
<i>And the thing to remember is,</i>
<i>in spite of what you're going through,</i>

740
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:44,360
<i>some kid is watching.</i>

741
00:31:44,444 --> 00:31:45,278
<i>[Jon] Yes.</i>

742
00:31:47,530 --> 00:31:48,364
<i>[Michael] Uh-oh.</i>

743
00:31:51,534 --> 00:31:53,161
<i>-What's going on?</i>
<i>-I'm good.</i>

744
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:54,871
<i>-You sure?</i>
<i>-Trying to be present.</i>

745
00:31:54,954 --> 00:31:56,748
<i>-And not in my head.</i>
<i>-[Karamo] Okay.</i>

746
00:31:56,831 --> 00:32:02,045
<i>It's weird for me to, like, be this person</i>
<i>that's, like, out in the community</i>

747
00:32:02,128 --> 00:32:04,464
<i>and actively trying</i>
<i>to get more Black people into growing</i>

748
00:32:04,547 --> 00:32:06,716
<i>and organize</i>
<i>and, like, create spaces like this,</i>

749
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,969
<i>but to feel weird in them</i>
<i>because I have never been in them.</i>

750
00:32:10,053 --> 00:32:13,139
<i>I'm usually the only person of color</i>
<i>in a lot of rooms I go into.</i>

751
00:32:13,222 --> 00:32:16,184
<i>Most of the time, I'm the only</i>
<i>person of color in the room I'm in,</i>

752
00:32:16,267 --> 00:32:18,937
<i>and that's been that way</i>
<i>for a long time, in my life.</i>

753
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:21,731
<i>That's power.</i>
<i>You can redirect that as a power move.</i>

754
00:32:21,814 --> 00:32:23,524
<i>You can't lead if you ain't uncomfortable.</i>

755
00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:26,402
<i>You growing in ways</i>
<i>you probably don't even realize, man.</i>

756
00:32:26,486 --> 00:32:29,030
<i>-Just… just being present.</i>
<i>-Wow.</i>

757
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:32,533
<i>All the stuff you were talking about</i>
<i>is so valid. It's about reframing it.</i>

758
00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:35,411
<i>No matter what you do,</i>
<i>you will be the first one to do that.</i>

759
00:32:35,495 --> 00:32:36,955
<i>[Eric] Bossed up, you know.</i>

760
00:32:37,038 --> 00:32:39,290
<i>When you wake up,</i>
<i>look yourself the eye and be like,</i>

761
00:32:39,374 --> 00:32:43,336
<i>"I'm a pioneer, and I'm a boss,"</i>
<i>and smile and be like, "I'm a boss."</i>

762
00:32:43,419 --> 00:32:45,630
<i>-Say it.</i>
<i>-Yeah. I'm a pioneer, and I'm a boss.</i>

763
00:32:45,713 --> 00:32:49,759
<i>-I like that. You look like you meant it.</i>
<i>-[Eric] Look at his eyes, that smile!</i>

764
00:32:49,842 --> 00:32:51,427
<i>-Yeah!</i>
<i>-[Karamo] Exactly.</i>

765
00:32:54,681 --> 00:32:58,267
<i>[Bobby] Knowing a lot of the things</i>
<i>that Michael went through in the past,</i>

766
00:32:58,351 --> 00:33:04,482
<i>he probably hasn't had a lot of guidance</i>
<i>on how to set up your home to really grow.</i>

767
00:33:04,565 --> 00:33:06,567
<i>[upbeat music plays]</i>

768
00:33:06,651 --> 00:33:08,569
<i>[Bobby]</i>
<i>That's exactly what I've done for Michael.</i>

769
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:13,491
<i>I have turned his home into a place</i>
