 Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna talk what separates Charleston white from from every other blogger from every other podcast is that Charleston white has something to stand on right when you look past The internet when you look past the things that I say on the internet You can't beat what I do. Yeah. Yeah, you can't beat it. Yeah, I'm saying so So that's that's so that's what's happening You know in the social media world with Charleston white But I love is it personally from a woman's perspective or from my perspective because not all women think like me, but I love the fact of honesty the way how you just speak anything that's on the top of your mind because there's so many people out there Who high side who just say what they think you want to hear just to please the masses, but you don't care about pleasing anybody you say What you believe but then also you do research behind it. Yeah, and that's what I love about what you do From from 2009 to to 2012 I Was spent anywhere from 12 to 18 hours a day in a college library So you talk about for three years straight. I'm not in prison I wouldn't know jail cell and I was and I was catching the bus to do this So I was acquiring knowledge, right? So I know statistics So I don't I wouldn't read in Google. I was in a library pulling books off the shelf When when I got on the internet and start doing research, I didn't Google a title You I didn't put a title in Google and try to get the information. I went into Library the library databases and what I mean by that Yuri what was scholars what experts wrote? From around the world. So I went into a scholarly databases and got information from scholars The world's best scholars read their minds read their books, uh, and so then I started working in the community and I started at the top, right? government courts juvenile legislation then I went to the bottom I Mean to the bottomless pit all the way in the ghetto and then work my way back up to government, right? Because up here. I was talking down to those people Because I wasn't down there with them. I know, you know, I didn't see no dirty children. I was traveling around the country uh Advocating for kids in the juvenile system. Oh, I didn't know that mothers took their children to have neighborhood fights. Huh? I would that's in the hood. They took their kids to have you must not be from the hood This is common practice in the black community. That's how they get down. This is common practice in the black community Children seeing their mother's fight Children seeing their their daddies jump on their mothers Oh, this is this is children seeing their their mothers and their sisters fight because they don't slept with the same man And and their brother is really their cousin So this is normal behavior But when you working in legislation when you teaching classes at the college university when you travel around the country Advocating for this you don't see this so you can't really speak on it. So when you do see it, you speak down on it So when I came down from up here and started working from the classy lady in the projects or from stop six I got a different perspective and and and what I realized is Uh aunt and a and a giraffe They don't have the same view Yeah, a giraffe will never see what an aunt sees. Wow But what I want to know is where did the um the drive to Go to the library for three years. Like you said to search for that knowledge. Where did that come from? Why did you do that? I was running from the streets uh um I had just had my daughter and uh And I wanted to give my children something different and so I was pursuing a college degree I was going to study law school. I was a pre-law student at Texas Wesleyan University So I just completed, uh, you know two years at the community college And so, uh, I wanted to be a juvenile worker. I want to be a juvenile probation officer Uh, I don't have any felony convictions. I had just had my second child my daughter So, uh, I wanted to give them something different. So, uh, leaving the streets Only thing I knew I was good at was academics So that's what I went to
