00:00Like hearing the
00:05All right, everybody in your place?
00:07Are you ready?
00:08Go.
00:09Yo, this girl is a trip.
00:12Everybody has a story.
00:14You're gonna make me cry.
00:16Yeah.
00:17And there's something to be learned from every experience,
00:21no matter what it is.
00:23I had nowhere to go.
00:24I was homeless at the time.
00:25I lost my family.
00:26Next thing I know, I'm in this car for three years, man.
00:29I'm struggling.
00:30When you're the tallest, strongest kid,
00:32and you walk in the gym,
00:34people automatically expect you to be the best.
00:38I couldn't dunk.
00:40I was uncoordinated.
00:41I had no confidence.
00:43That was one of my most embarrassing moments.
00:47Until this day, this is the first time
00:49I've even talked about it out loud.
00:51My mom right now is probably pissed off in heaven.
00:55They came toward us, beating us with nightsticks,
01:01tramping us with horses, releasing the tear gas.
01:05I thought I saw death.
01:07It was horrible.
01:10The marriage fell apart in the middle of the Rodney King riots.
01:16To let your life be a lesson for other people.
01:21Whatever your intention is, that is exactly where you will land.
01:26Persistence pays off.
01:28That's lesson one.
01:29Opportunities are ball-headed.
01:31And sometimes when you don't reach out and grab them,
01:33they slip right through your fingers.
01:35And that is the idea behind Masterclass,
01:38a show that would allow people to learn
01:41from people who are mastering this thing called life.
01:44It is intimate, it's raw, and it's real.
01:48I was 13 years old.
01:49I'm around grown women, and I'm seeing them do things
01:52and have experiences that I'm not quite ready for.
01:55My father, in a fit of rage, lost his temper
01:57and shot my mother and shot my grandfather.
02:00And we're all at different stages on the same journey.
02:05When you feel like giving up, don't.
02:08When you're thinking about giving up, don't.
02:11When it look like you ain't gonna make it, keep going.
02:15When they tell you you can't, ha, ha, ha.
02:19Come on, man, who are they?
