00:00For those who may be going through loss right now, what's one message of hope that you would share?

00:05To hang on to God.

00:08Anything you want, you can make it happen.

00:10I want to arrive where I'm supposed to be at.

00:12I always pray with my band that our destiny and our destination meet up. That's one.

00:16It really is possible if you just stay persistent and work hard.

00:19If we just put our boots to the ground and we use some grit and we smile a bit and use our heart, then we're going to make it.

00:24Keep doing what you're doing and be yourself.

00:26Truly, truly be yourself and double down on it.

00:29Stay hopeful. Trust in Jesus.

00:45It gives me the motivation to keep pushing for change for that next generation below us.

00:51The good happens for me. The bad happens to me to let me know that there's something greater on the other side.

00:59And that all of it is, you know, it's teachable moments.
