[Music] [Music] You are now listening to the narrative podcast with Halsey Allen. The narrative podcast is changing the narrative one episode at a time. Welcome to another edition of the narrative podcast. The narrative podcast is the home of original people. Original people peace. Original people restaurants to the end. Original people positivity and I am your host Halsey Allen. Welcome to the narrative podcast. The narrative podcast promotes positive reinforcement of original people and original people culture. Welcome to the narrative podcast. Welcome all my narrators. Pretty super short suites show for you this evening. So I've already done two uploads for my weekday edition. This is my third upload of the narrative podcast and that was kind of my goal to start trying to do three times during the weekday to make my presence more pronounced during the weekday because there's just so much negativity going on. But anyway, welcome to the narrative podcast. Here we are Thursday, weekend right around the corner. It's just so much stuff going on. It can barely process it. But you know, we survived. We got through it. This month is pretty much seeming like it's going super fast. You know, the youngsters, they're going back to school. All great levels probably in the next couple weeks here. So there's going to be a whole lot of, you know, back to school shopping and all that. But welcome to the narrative podcast. Just try to get interpersonal with my listening audience before diving into the content and speaking about diving into the content this evening. For the new people unfamiliar with me and my platform, how I start things, generally start things off as I give a brief overview of the narrative podcast before diving into the content that I want to be presenting to you. So without any further ado, let's start at the top tippy, the name. I named my podcast, the narrative podcast is unlike the false narrative. If the media we use about original people and original people culture. So what I want to do to counter that false narrative is design a platform where I'm uplifting and edifying my people by providing positive frames of reference about my people. So essentially, that's what I'm doing with my platform. I think that's a perfect safe way for my tagline, the narrative podcast, changing the narrative. One episode at a time by destroying negative stereotypes about original people and original people culture. How do I destroy the negative stereotypes about our people and our culture and by providing positive frames of reference about our people and our culture. And you know, that's what the narrative podcast is about in a nutshell. I exist on this platform to uplift, to edify my people and to provide positive frames of reference about my people and my culture. So, you know, because the media intentionally vilifies us intentionally. Stereotypes us and stigmatizes us. You know, they use negative imagery to do that. It's a form of psychological warfare. That's why they do it. And they pretty much, you know, they weaponize their content against our people. So, you know, this platform exists to, you know, put things back into perspective about who we are as a people. And, you know, I try to steer the boat back into the direction of, you know, putting out the correct frame of reference about our people and our culture, putting out the correct frame of reference about our true nature. What is our true nature? Our true nature is kings and queens, guys and goddesses of the universe. And that's how we always need to be represented as such. And the media does not do that. They're always, you know, showing us down bad, disenfranchised, downtrodden, living in real bad situations and circumstances, always going off the jail or engaged in some type of violence against one another or, you know, something low level, low vibration, low end degenerate or criminalistic. So, you know, that's why I'm doing this podcast. It's just kind of, you know, destroy that negative, those negative frames of reference about our people and our culture. I'm also here to inform and educate the listening audience, you know, about the importance of utilizing their platforms to put out positive frames of reference about, you know, our people and our culture and also to encourage listening's audience to, you know, follow my example and put out positive frames of reference about our people and our culture. So, it brings me to the next point on this platform. I refer to my target listening audience as my narrators. And the purpose of me doing that is just really to, you know, acknowledge the times that we're living in. We're living in the digital information age. And, you know, we pretty much do everything online. We gather information. You know, we share resources, we network, we entertain, we shop. We pretty much, and do everything possibly you can think of. We do it online in the digital space. And, you know, and when you're sharing all this information and when you're socializing online, every platform, when you're selling things online, matter of fact, every platform that you have to do any type of interaction online, usually they have a bio section. And in the bio section is a brief introduction to the person who, you know, owns that platform or whoever platform that is, you know, a brief introduction of themselves, you know, they tell their hobbies, their interests, turn offs, turn offs, you know, their, you know, religious or spiritual background, political views, et cetera. And then, in addition to that, the upload content to kind of, you know, content to kind of play up everything that they're interested in. So essentially, you know, when they upload their content, they're uploading imagery and source content that is reflective of, you know, what they like and what they believe in, or if they're selling something, you know, they're uploading the best possible images you can see. They want to showcase themselves in the best possible light as possible and have the most positive images associated with their platform. So essentially, they're telling the viewers, whoever's looking at their content, they're showing them, rather, the best possible version of themselves, or if you're selling something, the best possible version of your product. You know, everybody that utilizes, you know, the digital space for whatever reason, whether it's, you know, to socialize, whether it's to, you know, sell products or advocate for something or, you know, even shop, you know, because you want to put in key words and imagery that will, you know, attract certain things to your page. You know, you can scroll through and, you know, it'll just suggest things you might like. But having said all that to say people are basically telling or narrating their own stories. And I feel like that's what we need to do as a people. We need to tell or narrate our own stories because if history hasn't taught us anything, it's taught us this. If you don't tell your own story, your own story will be told for you. And that's what exactly what, you know, when it comes to our people, that's exactly what's happening. The powers this shouldn't be is, you know, telling our stories for us. And they're telling it from a negative space. You know, they're playing up all these negative stereotypes and stigmas, warping and skewing our images and our likenesses to push their agenda. And yes, they have a really terrible agenda in concern to our people. But anyway, that's why I call my target listening audience my narrators. And as narrators, we should be putting out the best versions of ourselves, you know, no matter what platform we occupy. You know, we should be the star of it. You know, like that's pretty much everybody's goal is to you know, show how good your life is, like how interesting you are, how much fun you have. You know, nobody really puts up like negative, woe is me content. There's not a whole lot of people that do that. It's like an exception to every rule. Some people are online. They'll literally just be sitting up there, you know, uploading pics in a hospital bed. I just had surgery, y'all and pray for me. And this is happening and that's happening. And, you know, this ain't going right for me and that ain't going right for me. And every other post has prayed for me, prayed for me. But essentially, what people like to do is tell the best possible story of themselves as possible. You know, they want to show themselves going on the best vacations. They want to show themselves having the most fun with their friends. They might not even be doing nothing, but everybody in the picture smiling and appearing to have a good time. You know, they want to show that they were driving the best cars, even at the best restaurants. You know, just showing all things good about their life. Now, the new generation calls that capping, you know, when you're exaggerating to the point that you're almost lying. But, you know, is it lying or just like, you know, visualizing? So I don't know, but anyway, point being, you know, as a narrator, you should be showing the best possible version of yourself, of your family, of your community. You know, show you a strong, solid, winning in life, triathin in the face of adversity, giving back to your community, helping your family, you know, just prospering in life, having an abundant field of life. This is the imagery you need to be showing on whatever platform you occupy, because they're going to show us always going to go on the jail, fighting amongst each other, engaging in some type of, you know, some ridiculous nonsense, something buffoonish or something or something very violent. So it's up to all of us to put out, you know, the best possible versions of ourselves and, you know, kind of gatekeep the accuracy of our people in our culture. That's why I call my target listening audience, my narrators. And that's the test of a narrator. I mean, I'm not the internet police, but you can post whatever content that you like, what you're interested in, which you, whatever you believe in, but just know people outside of our culture. Even some people within our culture, you know, you just done with the content that you're posting online. That's how people engage you, you know, that's what people, you know, form thoughts about you and respond to you and interact with you. So, you know, why not put the best version of yourself? Next important thing I need to touch on, or some of my field that will help you, you know, digest the content better. The narrative podcast is a positive space. I don't engage in any negative nonsense, no gossip, no slander, no ridicule, no denigrating our people in any form or fashion. This space is just basically here to uplift and edify us as a people. Again, delivering positive frames of reference about our people and our culture and just basically celebrating everything that we do correctly, applauding those of us to go above and beyond to impact and uplift our communities. And, you know, just shed the light on all the positive things we do. So, I don't want to expel any energy playing up any negative stereotypes or engaging in any gossip, you know, something that can't be proven as fact. I don't, you know, I don't entertain the he say, she say, you know, especially when it comes to celebrities, like, I don't, you know, it's never been appealing to me. And I also feel, you know, as a people, you know, that's destroying us as a people. It's literally a billion dollar a year industry, like billions of dollars being made off of us, you know, going in on each other online, you know, fueling beefs, you know, digital media platforms are like literally, you know, lining their pockets with the, you know, with the denigration of our people. And they capitalize so immensely off of us, you know, hurling insults, airing out dirty laundry and, you know, going back and forth with each other online. It's okay to disagree. You don't have to agree with everybody. Everything everybody says we don't all have to get along. You know, it's kind of impossible to like every single person you meet. There are going to be people that rub you the wrong way. There are some people just out there that's just playing unlikable. But we, as a people, when we, you know, kind of don't care for somebody, we shouldn't be using our platforms to air them out and to call them names and to talk bad about them. You know, just keep it pushing and keep it positive. That's what we should be doing. And, you know, focusing in our energy on solving all the problems before us instead of focusing on one person. You slept through your alarm, missed the train, and your breakfast sandwich. Cool. Sounds like you could use some luck. I'm Victoria Cash, and Luckyland is where people go every day to get lucky.

VGW Group, boy, we're prohibited by law. 18 plus terms and conditions apply. We need to be, you know, solution based and not be so, you know, emotional when somebody rubs us the wrong way. Now, having said that, however, however, is super positive over here. However, though, this is, you know, this is a platform of truth. I tell the truth on here. And if somebody I feel within our culture has a platform, you know, isn't that I feel is intentionally, you know, misrepresenting our people or intentionally playing into these negative stereotypes and stigmas, that the media places over our people for monetary gain, meaning like to make money to line their pockets. By making us look bad as a people, I will call said individual out for that. Other than that, you know, this is a positive space, you know, feel good, you know, medium, like, because if we got enough negativity online, this is like, I try to make this, you know, a place where you can feel prideful and, you know, just hear the progression and, you know, notice, you know, light at the end of the tunnel for us, not all, not just all the time, gloom and doom and, you know, nothing goes right for us. Like, I don't want to, you know, be that platform. So yeah, and then as a matter of fact, anytime when I bring up, you know, a famous person's name, a celebrity's name, it's really not the clout chase or talk bad about them, you know, I do speak on current events, what's happening around the world, you know, either globally, nationally, or just something within our community, and it's usually involves probably somebody from the entertainment industry, you know, when the story arises about them, you know, involved in something negative. When I do my commentary, it's basically the frame it up in the bigger picture perspective, like, whatever negative thing is going on with them, you can like really trace it back to systemic oppression, to, you know, psychological programming and conditioning, like, pretty much any negative thing in our community can be traced back to, you know, systemic racism and psychological programming and conditioning. We've been psychologically programmed in condition to go against our true nature. You know, we acting out, we acting in the manner of the people who are whom are doing the oppressing to us, you know, it could be traced back and linked back to them. So not saying we can blame all, you know, our problems on, you know, society, the government, you know, here quotes the white man, but, you know, a good portion of it, a large part of it, we can, because we do have our own in-house issues that we need to work on as a community, as all communities do. But, you know, we can't deny our community has been targeted the most out of any other community. It's not even up for debate, you know, the receipts we got over 400 years of receipts. It's a back that you've really over a thousand years of receipts to back it up if you really, really want to keep it super real. But, yeah, next order of business, the narrative podcast is a time sensitive platform. I try not to see one hour per broadcast. Number one, first and foremost, this is an audio platform. So basically, I don't want to board my listening audience to sleep. I want, you know, to make clear concise points. I don't want to just be talking in circles and rambling on and prattling on and going down rabbit holes. So I just make sure that I'm speaking clearly and I have speaking points. So I'm not just bouncing from subject to subject. You know, I actually have, you know, some type of methodology from the type of content that I'm presenting to the listening audience. I'm going somewhere with it. I also want to make it somewhat entertaining as well, because I'm a content creator, you know, podcasting is a form of content creation. So, you know, I want to make it appealing. You know, I don't want to just beat my beat your head over, beat you upside the head with the message, but I want to deliver the message. But, you know, I want to just keep it short and sweet to the point. Say what I need to say, mean what I say and just make sure what I say is clearly received. So that's why I try to, you know, not to exceed one hour per broadcast. And then last but not least, I refer to our people as original people. And by our people, I mean, you know, black people, African American Negro, you know, whatever you want to refer to, refer to our people as, you know, I refer to our people as original people on my platform. For two very reasons, you know, it's historically accurate. And it also referring to us as original people inspires unity. And I elaborate a little bit further, you know, on the historical side of it, you know, we were and are the original people of this planet. We was here thousands of years before every single civilization you can think of. And we inhabited every single corner of the globe originally, you know, that's what our existence. We are also the original architects, the original inventories. There's not too much that we didn't originally invent. It darned near every modern day convenience could be traced back, you know, the ancient version of it could be traced back to our civilization. But, you know, especially here in America in the Industrial Revolution, we pretty much invented everything. But, you know, white people got credit in the history books. All the people in the history books that they said invented something didn't. They just stole it from their slaves. And we were the slaves that stole it from the slaves and put their name on it. That's why they invented the patent system so they wouldn't have to, you know, give us credit or pay us for our inventions. And, of course, it makes sense that we were always inventing things because as slaves, we were always trying to look for ways to make our work easier. But anyway, that's why on historical side, why I refer to our people as original. And then just a brief subpoint that I want to tackle on that before I tell you, you know, the unity part of why I refer to our people as original people. I wonder this spell, this false narrative, this generalization, that every single last one of us got to wherever we were, we are currently inhabiting through slavery. There's this false narrative in history that especially here in America, that every single last one of us came over on a slave boat. And, you know, the fact of the matter is we did, we had a whole entire thriving civilization, thousands of years before the transatlantic slave trade. Like I said, being it, it only makes scientific. It is Ryan Seacrest here. There was a recent social media trend which consisted of flying on a plane with no music, no movies, no entertainment. But a better trend would be going to Chumbakocino.com. It's like having a mini social casino in your pocket. Chumbakocino has over a hundred online casino style games, all absolutely free. It's the most fun you can have online and on a plane. So grab your free welcome bonus now at Chumbakocino.com. Sponsored by Chumbakocino, no purchase necessary. VGW Group, void where prohibited by law, 18 plus terms and conditions applied. Since if we was here first, do you think we were just all congregating in one place? You didn't think we just left voluntarily on our own free will and discover, you know, what's over here? What's over here? Let's go over here on our own. Being the first people we already inhabited every single corner of the globe we could think of. But yet in history, they try to make slavery our most definitive, you know, moment in history, like we wasn't ruling over civilizations, like we wasn't building citadels, like we didn't just mold and shape civilization. We mother and father civilization. We taught every race of people in the world how to survive. We invented religion. We invented spirituality before anything was we was. Everything everybody knows or professors didn't know. They know because we taught it to them. So said all that to say we didn't all come from slave boats. Why slavery did happen and slavery was real. There's a whole lot of, you know, just untruths about slavery. They keep on getting perpetuating specifically the point that every single last one of us came, you know, our products of slavery, like we already existed, like on every continent of the globe we could think of. So don't it make scientific sense that, you know, colonizers enslaved people that were already originally inhabiting land masses instead of going to one specific region and physically transporting them to another region for thousands of years. It don't make economic sense either because there was paying people to go get slaves. Do you know how much expensive that was? Slave trade took place long before paper currency. There was paying people in gold, silver, precious gemstones to go get slaves. There was paying people for like 200 slaves that was coming back with like 40. They don't even make economic sense. But anyway, said all that to say, I just want to dispel that false room, negative, that false narrative about every single last one of us existing in, you know, different land masses, different parts of the globe that we didn't get there on slave boats who was just already originally there, you know, we was the original everything. And then the second part, the unity part, why refer to our people, as original people, you know, me saying that is just kind of like, you know, efforts to unify us as a people because there are so many different types of us. We all refer to ourselves as, you know, we all refer to ourselves as something else, you know, nationality or identify with your nationality for, you know, people overseas and, you know, we believe in different things and just have a different cultural background and speak different languages. But you know, there's a few things that we have in common as a people. First and foremost, we all possess high concentration of melanin or carbon rather, aka melanin. We also all be an original people. We can all trace our lineage back to the original point of origin for all civilization. So no matter what you refer to, to yourself as, you know, we're all original. And so that's why I refer to our people as original people here on the narrative podcast. You know, if you're still a little gray on my content and where I'm, he's one with this, exactly, you know, well, over 300 episodes in and you can catch up wherever you get your podcast information from on all my previously recorded episodes of the narrative podcast. Just remember to download it. And when I finish recording this one, download this one too. So yeah, that's it. That's pretty much the narrative podcast. And in that show, so diving on into the content of this weekday edition of the narrative podcast. So as I mentioned briefly, before I started the synopsis, you know, I exist here to provide positive frames of reference about our people and our culture. And so the way I do that on the weekdays during my weekday episodes of the narrative podcast is the positive frames of reference come in the form of positive news articles. And the reason why they come to me in the, or the reason why I feel I need to share positive news articles is because we're constantly being bombarded with negative news about our people and our culture. And as I said, you know, the reason why the media does that is a form of psychological warfare. They want us to, you know, see ourselves a certain way. After constantly showing these negative images of ourselves, you know, it will embed in our psyches. And we, you know, some of us, not all of us, but the majority of us, you know, it will resonate in the subconscious and, you know, will act out on these, you know, negative images that they keep on projecting into our minds. You know, all these negative influences constantly in the, all the news, constantly in television, constantly in movies, advertisements, music, negativity, negativity, negativity. And then, you know, you just really feel you're supposed to act and behave like that. You see, we're going against our true nature, their programming and conditioning us to go against our true nature. I keep on showing us all this negative content. So that's why I share positive news articles during the weekday is to counter, you know, that a negative programming that we're constantly being bombarded with by the media. So I just basically want to tell the listening show or tell the listening audience because I'm an audio platform, you know, positive things do happen within our community. There are stories of redemption. There are stories out there of us, you know, progressing, winning in life, trifling in the face of adversity, being leaders, having answers to, you know, all these problems, you know, that the powers of shouldn't be systemically cause for our people. And just people enjoying them, enjoying their lives and just being prosperous and abundant. So that's, you know, the positive frames of reference that I showcase and highlight when I'm sharing positive news articles during the weekday on the narrative podcast. So without any further ado, my first positive news article of this weekday. Hey, everyone, it is Ryan Seacrest here ready to heat up your summer vacation. Get ready.

Mom and son duo launched newest black on virtual speech therapy clinic. And the name of the clinic is called virtual therapy LLC. And mother and son duo is a doctor Henry and Joyce Richardson. So Henry is obviously the same and Joyce is obviously the mother. So the website where you can find out a little bit more about it is called virtualtherapyllc.org they assist with a wide range of, you know, services. I just got listed a few of them that they help with, you know, they help with stuttering, autism, spectrum disorder, mutism, hearing disorders, social disorders, and language disorders, and many, many more. So it's a virtual clinic. So it's online. This came about the time of the pandemic. This is what caused them to want to open up their own virtual clinic because of the demand for, you know, virtual events skyrocketed during the pandemic and now kind of everybody is more convenient because now everybody just really don't want to leave the house if they don't actually have to. So that's one thing the pandemic did do is like, you know, who really wants to sit up in the hospital or a clinic or wherever if you don't actually have to, like physically get up and go like, you know, is that your favorite thing? I don't really think it's lazy and I think that's kind of the reason why, you know, we wasn't locked down for them three months because like our government, they just kind of, you know, test the, it's just literally be slinging crap on the walls and see if it is stiff. So I think, you know, the lockdown was kind of a beta test for all these virtual things that we now have because we didn't have any virtual nothing before the lockdown. But anyway, I got a little long windy kind of beard off pudding. So Joyce has over 45 years of experience as a speech and language pathologist and Henry's background is in psychological medicine and rehabilitation. So, you know, that's a perfect matchup. You know, the diagnose the different language disorders and, you know, help people, everybody, you know, speech really is a gift and a whole lot of people have speech impediments and that can make people feel really bad about themselves and to lead to a whole lot of other things because, you know, it all starts into mine. So I, so I know you can hear me. I probably need those services because I have some really thick speech. I have a slight list. I know you can hear that. So, their mission is to provide patient-centered care that empowers individuals to achieve their communication goals. To find out more, simply call 885-1301. For press inquiries, contact 909-709-5946 or contact them directly at contact@virtualspeechtherapy.org. So, that's that. Join me in to giving this son-mother duo a warm narrative podcast, round of applause, for their virtual therapy clinic virtual therapy LLC. All right. Moving right along. Next article on the narrative podcast, the headline reads, Olympic triple jumper to launch financial literacy program for young athletes upon retirement. And the sister's name is Katia Orgy. She's currently launching a new mentorship career guidance initiative for young athletes. She's putting together a team of professionals from the University of Georgia, specialized in financial planning. The mission for this organization that she's putting together is to help collegiate and professional athletes manage money and investments. So, you know, she's trying to prepare everybody, letting them know, hey, this tracking field stuff is not going to last forever. You're going to get a whole lot of endorsements. You know, athletes, they give them like six figures and, you know, anybody without proper, you know, financial literacy will burn right on through large quantities of money. So, basically, she wants to teach them how to become brand ambassadors and how to utilize social media to, you know, grow their brand, establish their brand, help them platform onto, you know, other platforms to help them acquire more revenue or properties or whatever they're trying to do, you know, or help them, you know, create generational wealth because their tracking field life that's not going to last forever. And, you know, you want to pretty much don't want to have to work a normal job if you don't want to. So, she's out trying to help them maximize, you know, their revenue while they're semi-hot, basically. She's also recently established mentorship program for 8th grade girls. The article didn't list the name of the program and the mentorship program for the athletes that she's currently working on is still in development. So, she hasn't acquired, you know, all the means to, like, it's not up and running yet. She's still working on it. But if you want to know her tracking field events and how to book her and, you know, what she's currently working on, you can go to her own personal website, kiaataorgi.com. And when you get there, you want to see, you know, she's heavy into, you know, financial literacy.

So, join me into giving a warm narrative podcast round of applause for our sister, kiaataorgi. I hope, I hope I'm not butchering her name, kiaataorgi. It just feels weird saying it. I think I'm saying it wrong, but if you know, you know. All right, in my last article this evening, for this week, the edition of the narrative podcast, the headline reads, "Instead of toys, clothes, or gadgets, this dad bought his 10-year-old daughter who was a grown woman now, because this article happened in 2016, a vending machine. And this brother's name is Rico Oxendine. I'm hoping this Rico, because I've never seen the spelling of it, R-E-C-O. It might be Rico, but Mr. Oxendine, you know, took it upon itself to teach his daughter how to, you know, build her own wealth. So, anybody knows anything about side hustles. A vending machine is a very lucrative side hustle. It's, you know, continuous passive streams of income, like you're making your money right back. If the vending machine is in a prime location, devoid of crime, all you have to do is just restock it. You know, you're guaranteed to make your money back, whatever product that you have the vending machine stocked with. And the article also says she went on to open up her own business selling candy door to door at various spots called candy lovers. The article says he invests in small business profits in vending machines, and now he owns a dozen and is currently passing on generational wealth to his daughter in the future and all future endeavors. So, yeah, basically, he's like, you know, he's trying to build his vending machine empire, and he wants his daughter to be the heir to the throne of the vending machine empire, which is crazy, because I know it's just fictitious, but I think there was actually the plot of, you know, when BLU had his own TV show, the Hugh Gleece, I think his character was like a vending machine guy. He owned his own vending machines. If I'm not mistaken, it's been years since I've watched it, and it's been on the air, but you know, vending machine business is very lucrative. Anyway, like I said, that was my last article for this evening. This was my third week day instalment of the narrative podcast, and I hit my goal. Thanks, thanks guys for helping me hit my goal. I ain't even gonna lie, it's just kind of been my own laziness, but you know, I'm trying to get better with that, because you know, this is very important to content, and that's when we're the most susceptible to the negativity is during the weekday, we don't have a plethora of positive things to watch or listen to during the weekday that involves our people. So, I definitely want to be the platform for that to, you know, give you a positive alternative to all this negativity, you know, being circulated about our people and our coaches. So, you know, I'm gonna try it again next week. You know, I'm trying to hit, you know, three days a week, next week, two, and yeah. So, this week was a super good week for the narrative podcast, because I hit all my broadcast time at an actual decent time, because usually, you know, I start, you know, broadcasting at like nine or 10, or like 10-ish, 10-15, 10-30, and then like not be able to finish before midnight. But this was a good smooth run, and I've had good smooth runs all this week. So, you know, crossing my fingers that I can keep up that momentum. But yeah, this episode, or this, you know, article is over with, so let's put them together to our brother, Mr. Rico Oxidine for planting the seed within his daughter to with the idea of creating generational wealth with the vending machine company. So, yeah, all right. So, now I'm done with my positive news articles. The next section, what I generally do, what I typically do after the positive news articles, I delve into, you know, current events, you know, whatever is currently, whatever is currently trending on in the world, whether it be globally, nationally, or just something within our community. And the purpose of me doing that is to control the narrative, because like I said, you know, history hasn't taught us anything. It's taught us this. If you don't tell your own story, your own story will be told for you. So, you know, that's the purpose of me doing covering current events, usually, and I'm saying usually because I don't really feel this evening that there's nothing going on in the world, kind of, it needs our attention or really worth discussing, because like what do we got going on in the media right now? Nothing super deep. I mean, you know, there's going to keep, there's, you know, the Sonia Massey thing is going to keep on having points being discovered. I'm not going to keep on reporting on them until I have full confirmation. So, I'm not going to do it all throughout, you know, all throughout the proceedings, as long as it's in the eye of the public, because it's, we're going to keep on getting new developments every single day, because this is super huge. This is super huge, because, you know, we saw her untimely, you know, demise in front of our eyes. So, you know, that's never not going to be trending from like now to the next six months. So, I don't feel the need to talk about that. The only other couple things that's recently happened is Serena Williams getting turned away at a restaurant in Paris, not that I'm insensitive to her plight, you know, because that's never a good feeling. She is our sister, but it's like, I don't really feel the need to discuss that. She's a celebrity. She got her pick of literally anywhere she wants to go to. She didn't even have to go out to a restaurant if she didn't want to. Hello, it is Ryan, and I was on a flight the other day playing one of my favorite social spin slot games on Chumbacocino.com. I looked over the person sitting next to me, and you know what they were doing. They're also playing Chumbacocino. Everybody's loving having fun with it.

She can literally have anything catered to her, you know, in mere moments. So, you know, racism is everywhere. We're not going to escape it. I don't got too much to say about that because, you know, unfortunately, a lot of our brothers and sisters that are entertainers, they feel they can buy their way out of it. You can't buy your way out of it. It's going to follow you wherever you go. And, you know, it's unfortunate that she experienced that at a time, you know, when that city is supposed to be embracing our country for the games, because that's where the Olympics is being held. But, um, it just goes to show you, you know, hey, that's what they think about it. So, you know, it is what it is. Like, she shouldn't be too taken aback. I mean, she grew up in Compton. So, California, somewhere in California, is she from Compton? Let me see. I mean, she was raised in L.A. But, uh, so she's seen it before. Born in Saginaw raised in L.A. She's, you know, she's seeing her fear, sure of it. Like, she shouldn't be, you know, she shouldn't be, like, taken aback like that. I mean, it is what it is. She got millions of dollars. It ain't really nothing in it for her to sue them people. I don't think she can because they got, like, different laws over there and stuff. Like, I mean, just my personal opinion, I don't think it's all that big of a deal. Stop going up underneath them, damn folks. Like, period. Like, there's, like, black establishments in Paris. Like, we got a thriving black community in Paris. You should be able to go anywhere, but might as well go somewhere where you know you're going to be well formed. There's, like, all kinds of brothers and sisters living over in Paris, like, so I just don't think that's real. Something to be, like, you know, spending too much time talking on. The only other thing to happen is Ben Stiller, who was a comedian, said, "Well, I wish I was black." I mean, like, zero lies detected, like, you shouldn't be. I bet you do wish she was black. At least, he honest. I bet he does wish he was black, and I ain't mad at him for wishing. I ain't mad at him at all for wishing he was black. You know, the only flaw I can see is he said Kamala was black. But, like, I know he said, "Dang, Halsey, keep on going hard on a Madame VP." I'm just not for the pandering. You know, that's my, like, I don't, I have a low tolerance for anybody, black, white, Asian, anybody, anybody that insults my intelligence. After you insult my intelligence, I have zero respect for you, and that's kind of why I've been going so hard in the pain on, you know, Kamala. It's just, it's the pandering for me. I don't like the pandering. If you want to run your little, you know, political campaign, you can do it without all that pandering. You don't have to use all these rappers. You don't have to use all these hip-hop slang expressions, knowing you don't say stuff like that. You know, it's just the pandering for me that just turns me totally off, and I'm not too, you know, I'm unfazed by Donald Trump because, like, at this point, should we be shocked about anything coming out of his mouth? Like, you know, I'm desensitized to him, but, like, I get taken aback with hers because it's like, she's going above and beyond to, like, pander, like, you only got to do all that pander to get the black vote. Just be who you are, speak how you speak, like, for real. You don't got to sit up there and just put all that pepper on it, like, trying to, you know what I'm saying? Like, trying to sit up there and mimic and try to get sisters' mannerisms down and you don't got to do all that. You don't have to do all of that at all. So, like I said, there's not nothing too much going on in the world today worth discussing. If I see something super interesting, I definitely cover it this weekend for a full edition of the narrative podcast, but this episode is officially a wrap.

Um, my next platform to follow me on, um, or the next thing I want to plug part is my book of poetry. I've written a book of poetry titled The Black Card. The Black Card is a 30 page book of poetry, chronicling and encompassing. All our experiences, everything we experience and go through as a people is basically a snack shot of us as a people, you know, all our experiences, all our nuances within our culture. Um, it's a how to guide for people outside of our culture. But you know, for us, original people, it's just, it's like a day in the life of Black people, the Black Card. So, you know, that's what the uh, books about, you know, 30, uh, 30 poems, you know, that are reflective of, you know, our people and our culture. It'll make a good coffee table read, book, you know, it'll make a good gift. Um, you know, people outside of our culture, this, this can be a great, uh, learning tool for you. If you consider yourself open-minded, um, for a progressive in your thinking, people within our culture, original people, our, my people, like, you know, you're definitely going to see yourself in all those poems, you're definitely, it's definitely, they're definitely going to resonate with you. You're going to feel a kinship to them. Um, you know, you can definitely, definitely, uh, identify with every single last poem in that book, The Black Card. Um, so to go check it out, it's only available on one medium, which is poetizer.com. Um, poetizer.com has a virtual online bookstore, so you want to visit poetizer.com and check for my title, The Black Card, written by me, Halsey Allen. And if you're unfamiliar with, uh, poetizer.com, um, basically, it's, uh, it's a platform for writers, novice writers at that, people that's not quite at the professional level, um, aspiring to want to be at the professional level. It's really cost-efficient, you know, a way to get your feet wet with writing books. Um, it's open to all genres of writing. Uh, specifically poetry is in the name, poetizer. Um, but also essay writers. Um, you know, uh, people that like to write novels and short stories. Um, even journaling, they're even open to journaling, you know, or just pinning out loud letters, you know, in any form of writing is welcome on that platform, as long as it's not, you know, nothing to violate or, uh, guidelines. They're guaranteed to, uh, publish your work. So like, speaking of publish your work, you know, that, that's the special feature that they have on that platform. Um, they have a, uh, feature that will allow the, uh, people that participate in that, um, community, the opportunity to turn their work into a book. And so that's what I did. I turned my work into a book. They have a virtual online bookstore for people, the app to turn their work into a book. And then they got all kinds of features, you know, editing and marketing and, you know, if you can even pay for like illustrations. Um, now I didn't opt for all those options. It's still not too late. I still can go back and do it, but for the most part, um, just go to the virtual online bookstore and go get my book. The Black Hard, written by me, Halsey Almond. Um, next thing I want to plug is my personal poetry blog on blogger.com. It's titled, Uh, Halsey's Poetry Corner. And what that is, it's a collection of my personal poetry. Um, just a collection of poems that I, uh, spontaneously wrote in the moment. Just a whole bunch of poems that I wrote off the cuff. Um, and a unique couple, unique things about the poetry feature on that blog site is that, you know, like I said, I spontaneously wrote them in the moment. I didn't contemplate on the subject matter on the title. Anything, it just like all those poems, just like legit, just came to me and I, um, posted them immediately. Um, the crazy thing is there's just so detailed, so intricate, so specific. You know, you would be under their impression that, you know, I took a little time, but I actually didn't. And another unique thing about my poems on that blog is that they're pretty much anybody can relate to them. They're for everybody. Like literally anybody can find a piece that can identify with or relate to. Um, which brings me to my tagline for that poetry blog. Halsey's Poetry Corner, Poetry with a Passion, Poetry for all occasions. And when you read one of my poems, you will find out exactly why I called it that. And then, um, you know, go check it out. And the way you supported it is go to my link to the poetry blog on Halsey's Poetry Corner, which is www.MrHalseysBlogs.com and just share either the link to my poetry blog on Halsey's Poetry Corner, which is www.MrHalseysBlogs.com or a poem featured on Halsey's Poetry Corner across all platforms.
