 And we have Rashi Malcom here who will be running for District 6. So we went back and forth because this is going to be my first official talk about me running for a commission. So it's kind of really like my out. And so we went back and forth about, you know, what should I talk about? And, you know, what issues should I draw? And talking about my platform. But one of the things that came out is everybody doesn't know Rashi. And so we decided that it's best that I just take my few minutes to tell you about Rashi. Many of you know that I own a Jamaican restaurant. And that's pretty much what a lot of y'all know. So I'll take it back a little bit. So my name is Rashi Malcom. It's actually Rashi Malcom Ramsey. That's my husband over here in the corner. We have four children and one granddaughter. So my oldest son will be 30 in April. I have another son who will be 24 in October. I have a daughter who will be 14 in June. And my youngest whose birthday is the same day as my oldest son. So they're 21 years apart will be nine. So all of my children have gone through the Clark County School District system everywhere from Barrow Elementary to the previous Alps Road. And pretty much Whitehead has been where we landed and we have been ever since. So Whitehead Road, BHL, Clark Central. And now I have a grandbaby, but unfortunately she's an alpharata. We won't hold that against myself. I started my business journey during the time when my parents were in the military. So my mom was in the Air Force. My stepfather was in the Marines. So naturally we traveled all over the world. So for a very long time, I never really had anywhere that I landed that was necessarily home for a very long time. What I learned from that is, is that you have to really depend on the people who are in your community. And that community looks different everywhere you go, whether it's language, culture, you know, your skin tone, you know, your accent, your beliefs, your food, especially your food. And so that led me to continue to work within any community that I've been in. So when I was 17, my mom, you know, we had landed from Spain and we ended up here in Green County, Georgia, where my mother's side is from. It was very, very different, very different. Like they were still having black and white proms. I had never heard of such a thing. You know, I was like, mom, what, what, you know, and I was a senior in high school, right? So I got through that year and then my mom and my brother moved up here to Athens. So now we've landed here since 93. I had to spend a semester at Clark Central. You know, again, y'all don't know much about me. I almost didn't graduate high school. I took a class in Spain that they didn't accept in Georgia. That's something we can talk about on another day. And so I had to come back in and, you know, go to school. So my mom kept saying, well, you know, what are you going to do with yourself? I came from the figured out generation. It was like, hmm, you're going off to college, military, you know, what exactly are you going to do? And so I had been working on Rashi cuisine since I was 17. And I said, well, I'm going to do my own business. Well, lo and behold, I hit 19. I had my first son. Well, I was raised. You got to take care of your children. You have to do what you have to do. So I went into corporate food service. So I worked for St. Mary's in long term care. I was the food director there for a while and I moved over to the hospital. At the same time, I also worked for the Georgia Department of Corrections. You will find in my story, I always work like multiple jobs. Like I'm always doing a million things. So this is just who I am. From there, I got recruited from Sodexo and I went to North Carolina. It was in North Carolina where we lost our contract and I was still doing Rashi's cuisine. I went to school at Methodist at the time was Methodist College. So I have a Bachelor's of Science in Occupational Environmental Management with a concentration in regulatory compliance. And I have a minor in paralegal studies and my emphasis was on environmental justice. Thanks. After that, I was like, okay, I'm going to law school. Got into law school, chickened out. Had another kid. So I was like, okay. So I worked on my master's. So I got a Master's of Science from the University of Phoenix at the Atlanta chapter in justice security administration. Again, with a concentration in environmental justice. I'm going to law school, y'all. No chickened out. Had another kid. So now I'm working as a contractor for the EPA, which is on College Avenue. I did that for about 10 years. And then in 2013, I fell off at the top of the building. I was doing some air monitoring sampling for the PM program. So it's PM 2.5, 5, 10. I was doing soil sampling, water sampling. I worked in organic chemistry. I worked in organic chemistry. So from there, my work as co-doctor after a year, said, listen, you will never be able to go back and do the job that you were doing. He said, did you ever think that maybe God pushed you off the building so you can go back to work and chicken? And so after my husband kind of bawled up his fists and did this, you know, we took our money and we opened up on Tallahassee Road. And that part of the story is where the introduction of Rashi's cuisine to Athens comes in. I mean, I've been here, like I said, I even catered to the reggae boys when they came, you know, for the Olympics and they did the soccer and all of that. So I'm rooted here in Athens 30 years now. And everywhere I go, like I said, I've served the community and that's the same thing that I do now. So now I own Rashi's cuisine, which is a Jamaican restaurant catering food truck. I own 585 Vine. I own Rafael Ramsey Properties. I'm the founding director of Farm to Neighborhood. I'm also the founding director of the Culinary Kitchen of Athens. And before you ask, I told you when we started this story, I've always worked a million different jobs. I'm going to eat. So that is Rashi Malcolm. That is my introduction to y'all so that you know that I am more than just a jerk chicken lady. Any issues in Athens that you really feel that you could bring something special to? What would they be? So I'm very passionate about our economic development, especially with our small businesses. I feel like especially in District 6 where we lost so many businesses on Atlanta Highway and, you know, the Exodus over to the other side, I feel like we really should pump into our small businesses. They are the one to create the jobs and they keep businesses going. And they're the ones who stay faithful to us. You know, they stay here locally and they stay rooted and grounded. And I think that if we put as much emphasis on them as we do trying to bring in these larger industries that may or may not stay, then I think we would do a lot better. Before the ceasefire, I would like to ask you... Well, here's the thing, and I'm glad you asked me that because I want to read the ceasefire. You said you were going to send me over. I also feel very strong about Congo. I also feel very strong about the violence we have right here in Athens that we need to address. And so yes, I feel very strong that, you know, across the world we're seeing so much violence. Just violence on top of violence on top of violence. And we are community people. You know what I mean? We are a village people. Even if that means even in smaller groups. And so I feel very strong that, you know, we all need to stop killing each other. I mean, plain and simple. And nobody should be sponsoring killing somebody. So that's my take on that. If you want to bring violence to districts, there's something that we can actually change here in District 6. Thank you. Public safety, especially infrastructure. I think infrastructure is something that in District 6, we... I've been talking to constituents and that's one of our major issues. Thank you. Thank you.
