00:38I have Lion Brave with me today

00:42Welcome to the show

00:43Oh, what's up, Yaya Diamond?

00:45It's a pleasure to be with Evelyn Thomas' daughter

00:48I've been waiting to meet you

00:51Oh, you're just fantastic soul

00:53Yay!

00:56Thank you, thank you

00:57Oh my gosh

00:58Oh, you know more about me than most of my guests

01:01Thank you very much

01:02Wow

01:03So, you know, I want to thank you so much again for being with us

01:06And, you know, you have music too

01:08So you're in the industry as well

01:10Tell me about that

01:11Music is a vibe

01:12It's the best part of the human experience

01:15It's a vibe

01:16It makes everything better

01:18It does

01:19It really does

01:20I always say that the music is a soundtrack to life

01:23You can remember when that song played

01:26Where you were

01:26What was going on

01:28Who you met

01:29It's your wedding song

01:30It's your divorce song

01:31Whatever the case may be, right?

01:33Right

01:34Well

01:34But you also have another part to you

01:37You also have something that's very, very dear to you

01:40And it's your passion

01:41It's your activism

01:42How did you get into that?

01:44What was the cause by which you found yourself becoming an activist?

01:49Oh, I was born in America

01:51And from that day

01:52They slapped me up with activism on my ass

01:55But I didn't realize it

01:56But that was always the case

01:58I was born with an afro

02:01That's why I got these micro braids in

02:03And I was

02:03I had

02:04I had to

02:04I didn't know

02:05I had an afro

02:06So you had a target on your back from day one

02:08I didn't know though

02:11Yeah

02:11I mean, none of us knew

02:12You know

02:13And the darker you are

02:14The worse it is, right?

02:16Oh my gosh

02:16Wow

02:17So tell me about this

02:19What is the entailment of your activism?

02:22What are you trying to portray

02:25And trying to bring into reality?

02:27Why?

02:28And why?

02:29I mean, there is some systemic things at play

02:32I think people underestimate those things

02:35Because we make it a movie line

02:37Like, down with the man

02:38Or damn the man

02:39The man is a real thing

02:42Yes, yes, yes

02:43Tell me about this

02:44Give me a little bit more specifics

02:47On exactly what it is that you're doing

02:49And how you're affecting

02:50Your surroundings as well as others

02:53So, like, I'm not afraid of AI

02:55I think AI is a tool

02:56I think you need the foundation of human intelligence

02:59To be able to wield it well

03:00I don't think on-train gun owners should have guns

03:03I don't think little kids should play with fire

03:05I think you need to know what you're doing

03:07With the tools at your disposal

03:10Humans are both capable of greatness

03:14And benevolence

03:16There's no end of human goodness

03:18Or human cruelty

03:20And when you have other humans being cruel

03:23You have good humans being cruel to survive it

03:27So that makes the human world very unfair

03:30And I believe you can use technology

03:32To sort of help with human indecency

03:34So there's a little bit more kindness

03:36And fairness

03:38Yeah, definitely, definitely

03:39What about New York City DHS?

03:41Tell me about this

03:43So I believe we can make an app

03:45To automate out some of the corruption

03:46There's a lot of embezzlement

03:48There's a lot of fraud

03:50There's a lot of incompetence

03:51There's a lot of vengeance

03:52There's a lot of

03:54I can do this to you so I will

03:56There's a lot of ego

03:57There's a lot of boys clubs at women's shelters

04:00There's a

04:01I think automation can weed out boys clubs

04:04I think automation can weed out some theft and rape

04:07I think automation

04:09I think automation can help

04:11And help us save money

04:12Like we pay for a lot of corrupt staff all over America

04:16When people talk about AI

04:18They always see the evil

04:20I think AI can be a really fair force

04:23They always talk about it

04:24Including racism

04:25I think AI can automate out racism

04:28Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

04:29You know, you have a hashtag

04:31I love it

04:32It's stop ignoring lion's cries for help

04:37Tell me, how did you come about that?

04:40Oh, well, you can have evidence

04:41I used to think evidence was undeniable

04:46But they still deny evidence now

04:51I mean, just in East Cleveland

04:53They were sitting on body camera footage of the police

04:56Like basically, you know, abusing communities of color

05:00They were sitting on that footage for a decade plus

05:02Before they did anything about it

05:04Now, they did end up firing a lot of officers

05:07But they had the evidence for over a decade

05:09And it took over a decade for them to do anything

05:13Yeah, yeah, you're right

05:15You're right

05:15And, you know, the injustices

05:17There was a case

05:19What was it?

05:2060, 70 years?

05:21I'm not

05:22Don't quote me on the years, okay?

05:23It was at least 60 years

05:26At least 60 years

05:27But I'm thinking it was more like 70 years

05:29That the person after their execution

05:32Or after their death

05:3460 to 70 years after their death

05:37Okay

05:38Was acquitted of what they were accused of

05:43And they never did the crime

05:47Oh, yeah

05:49Yeah, and then sometimes they get released

05:51And the police kill them same day

05:52Come on

05:53Come on

05:54Come on

05:55Tell me about it

05:56Tell me about it

05:57You know, this is

05:58This is

05:59This is

06:00It's terrible that we have people over us

06:02That just because we have people over us

06:05They think that they can be

06:06You know, demeaning

06:07And abusive

06:08And things like that

06:09So, tell me

06:10What

06:11In your songs

06:12Do you attack these?

06:13Do you

06:13Do you mention this in your songs?

06:18I like to keep my music

06:21Empowering

06:22In neutral space

06:24But it evolves

06:25For whatever

06:27Life cycle I'm going through

06:28I'm lucky

06:30Enough and tragic enough

06:32To experience a lot in life

06:36So my music is evolving

06:37I like to keep music

06:39In honest space

06:40With hope

06:43That's really good

06:44That's really good

06:44I love what you're doing

06:46I love it

06:46That you're very passionate

06:47About what you're

06:48You're going through

06:49Tell me

06:50What is it that you need

06:51From the public

06:52What do you need from us

06:53To help you

06:54To assist you

06:55In bringing light

06:56To these

06:57These injustices

06:58Oh, well

06:59I'm not the bad guy

07:00Like sometimes

07:01Like you gotta

07:02I'm a social media person

07:04I'm actually doing good

07:04I'm a

07:05I had Brock analyze me

07:08I'm actually

07:09In the top 5%

07:10Of YouTube channels

07:11And you know

07:12I'm about

07:13At 10k subscribers

07:14It doesn't seem like a lot

07:15But you have to understand

07:17There's a lot of corporations

07:18On there

07:18There's a lot of celebrities

07:20So for the average American

07:21I'm swinging big

07:22I'm swinging above my weight

07:25You know

07:25I'm competing with

07:26Celebrities and corporations

07:27For the average American

07:28I'm a big swinger

07:29And I do have a platform

07:31They said it was

07:32A mid-tier cult following

07:34Meaning I have real support

07:35And it's not like

07:36Just inflated by money

07:39But you know

07:39Sometimes it feels like

07:40I don't have support

07:42Because a lot of people

07:43Will act like they're my enemy

07:45That you know

07:46Maybe it's just

07:47A big gap in communication

07:48Maybe I'm sensitive

07:50Maybe I'm also rude

07:52Definitely

07:52But I get attacked a lot

07:54Like I'm not the enemy

07:55Mostly I'm talking about

07:58Trying to create fairness

07:59In America

08:00Like more equality

08:02I use my own

08:03My own dark chapters

08:05I don't try to cover them up

08:06Like

08:06I've actually accomplished a lot

08:08With little resources

08:11And it's really brave

08:12For me to talk about

08:13My rock bottom

08:14It's really brave

08:15For me to talk about

08:17Being a

08:18The times I've experienced

08:20Vulnerability

08:21Financially

08:22Being on house

08:22Being homeless

08:23Being a woman of color

08:24Being a me too victim

08:26Struggling with poverty

08:27Losing my job

08:28Dealing with betrayal

08:29And exploitation

08:30Dealing with a head injury

08:33Dealing with the police

08:34Being weaponized against me

08:36I'm just a kindergarten teacher

08:37And a home health aide

08:39I'm a really good person

08:40That goes through hell every day

08:41So I can take care of the community

08:42And the community does not

08:44Show me the same love

08:45And I always show love back

08:46Like I really show a lot of love

08:48To the community

08:49And what the community

08:50Can do for me

08:50Is understand

08:51I've been a victim

08:52A lot of times

08:53And show me back love

08:54Like I'm like a protector

08:56Like I really want

08:58What is best

08:58For not myself

08:59But America

09:00And the future of America

09:01Like I

09:02Things are not okay

09:03And one of the reasons

09:04I stand strong

09:06With my trauma

09:07I turn pain into power

09:09Is because

09:10I'm not the only one

09:11I am not the only one

09:13And in some ways

09:13I was spared of the fate

09:15I found out that

09:16Over 39% of America

09:17Has a head injury

09:18That's not okay America

09:20And stop acting like

09:21I'm the only one

09:21That's going through this

09:22I'm just the one

09:23Brave enough to speak out

09:25You are

09:26You're very brave

09:27To speak out

09:27And you know

09:28And I love it

09:28You're on

09:29Your YouTube

09:30And I'm looking at it

09:31Right here

09:31It's Lion Brave

09:32That's L-Y-O-N-B-R-A-V-E

09:35And they can find you

09:36On YouTube with that

09:37Right

09:38Am I correct?

09:39Yes

09:39Also you have

09:41Your X and your Twitter

09:43Which is also the same

09:44Your Spotify Music

09:45Which is Lion Brave

09:46The same spelling

09:48You're also on

09:49SoundCloud

09:50And Reverb Nation

09:51You know

09:51I absolutely love

09:53That you have

09:54Taken this upon yourself

09:56But you are right

09:57There are not

10:00Just a few people

10:01There are millions of people

10:03Actually

10:03That are going through this

10:04And we should all speak up

10:06We should all be as brave as you

10:08And I appreciate

10:09You know

10:10When it comes to

10:12I know that you said

10:13You keep your music neutral

10:14You want to

10:14Spread a positive message

10:16And hope and everything

10:17But the reality is

10:18Is that you're also

10:19On the opposite end

10:20Telling people the truths

10:22And making sure

10:23That people understand

10:24What's really

10:25Really truly going on

10:26In this world

10:27That we live in today

10:29What is it that you

10:30Really want to get across

10:32Today

10:32With the listeners today

10:34What is going on?

10:36That some people

10:37Are on their face

10:39With a boot on their back

10:41And that's not their fault

10:43It's really not

10:45And sometimes the systems

10:47Put more boots on their back

10:49Maybe take what's in their wallet

10:50While they're on the ground

10:51And sometimes

10:53If you can give a helping hand

10:54I know it's hard

10:56But really

10:56Like

10:57Friends got to help friends

10:59Family got to help family

11:01People need a support system

11:03And it's not the systems

11:05Yeah

11:05You're truly right

11:06You're truly right

11:07My gosh

11:08Lion

11:09Man

11:10Thank you so much

11:11For being on the show

11:12Is there anything

11:12That we missed out today on?

11:14I know that you have

11:15You know

11:16You have

11:16Justice for Lion Brace

11:18Which is going to be

11:19Your survivor to leader

11:20And DHS

11:22Shelter of violence

11:23In New York City

11:23You said that you were

11:25One time

11:26Homeless

11:27Am I correct?

11:28Yeah

11:29Okay

11:29What was that like for you?

11:32It was like hell

11:33But

11:33It

11:34It was my honor

11:36To experience

11:37What so many Americans experienced

11:40I'm in the process

11:41Of turning my trauma

11:42Into technology

11:44To make things better

11:46It was my honor

11:48To get a head injury

11:50I didn't know

11:5039% of Americans

11:52Had a TBI

11:53That's crazy America

11:55What's a TBI?

11:57Please let us know

11:57Traumatic brain injury

11:59And you know

11:59We say America's violent

12:01We say

12:02Like one in five Americans

12:03Like one in two Americans

12:04Have mental health issues

12:06TBI's

12:06They can cause depression

12:07Obviously

12:09They can cause insomnia

12:10They can cause anxiety

12:12Because you're afraid

12:13Of being attacked again

12:14I wanted to know

12:1639% of America

12:18Has a brain injury

12:19America

12:19Come on

12:21If I didn't get one

12:22It's my honor

12:23It's my honor

12:24To be relatable

12:24America

12:25It's my honor

12:26To understand

12:27The hell you guys go through

12:28Even though everyone says

12:29This is the best country on earth

12:31And you know

12:34So interesting enough

12:36America should be better

12:38And interesting enough

12:40There's a lot of violence

12:41In America

12:42That America should be ashamed of

12:45And want to put aside immediately

12:47I agree with you

12:48We should be ashamed

12:49And we should put it aside

12:51There's a lot of things

12:52Going on that

12:52I don't agree with

12:53You know

12:53I think that we should

12:54All like you

12:55Start in our own neighborhoods

12:57And making sure that

12:58You know

12:58Things that we do not like

13:00Get approached

13:01And get rectified

13:02You know

13:02You do have

13:03Leader for safe shelters

13:04In New York City

13:06And you are really advocating

13:08For this

13:09Truly strong

13:10Do you ever reach out

13:11What can people do

13:13In your neighborhood

13:13Are you accessible

13:16I think they can be brave enough

13:18To talk

13:18I know it's scary

13:19Because of retaliation

13:20But this is what I'll say

13:21New York

13:23DHS always goes

13:24It's against the law

13:25The rights to film

13:26Okay

13:26That's not a criminal law

13:27It's a DHS law

13:28What's DHS

13:29It's the housing network

13:31In New York

13:31Okay

13:31Whatever

13:33When they're breaking

13:34The rules and the laws

13:36You officially have a right

13:37To record

13:38And it's not against the law

13:39Anyway

13:39But I want to not record

13:41Someone who is violating

13:42Your rights

13:42Maybe violating

13:43You

13:43Of course you should record

13:45And then

13:46And so people go

13:47Oh I think what you're doing

13:48Is dangerous

13:49This is the thing

13:51They were going to do that

13:52To me no matter what

13:54I just happened to pull out

13:56The camera

13:56And then they're like

13:57Why are you recording

13:58They were going to do that

13:59To me no matter what

14:01And you know

14:02So people think

14:02It's the camera

14:03That gets me in trouble

14:04No

14:04They were going to do that

14:06To me no matter what

14:08Yeah

14:08You're right

14:09And they will do it

14:10No matter what

14:10So if you break out

14:11The camera

14:12Then what

14:12They were going

14:13And you just record it

14:14They were going to do it

14:15So you might as well

14:17Just break it out

14:17And do it

14:18And be

14:18And protect yourself

14:20You know

14:21With proof

14:21Even though

14:22That may not work

14:24But you still have it

14:26Yeah just okay

14:27So my story is long

14:28And big

14:28And some people

14:29Have been following me a while

14:31And some people

14:31Are just tapping in

14:33And you know

14:33So but some people

14:34Who have

14:35They like tune in

14:36In my Sweden chapter

14:37I was

14:37This sounds crazy

14:38But I was literally

14:39Seeking asylum in Sweden

14:41Because of

14:42You know

14:42I've lived in several

14:43Different countries

14:44And I experienced

14:44How they treat me

14:45As a woman of color abroad

14:46They treat me like I'm smart

14:48And they treat me

14:48Like I have talent

14:50You know

14:50They buy me dinner

14:51And they get me a cell phone

14:52I have a good job

14:53In a good apartment

14:54Out here

14:55Like they want to criminalize me

14:57I swear to god

14:58That's all they

14:59Like I'm not making it up

15:00Sometimes I just feel

15:01Like a criminal out here

15:02Like they're always

15:03Trying to weaponize

15:04Anything about me

15:05Until like I'm a criminal

15:06Like

15:06I even like

15:08This one guy

15:09He's a psychiatrist

15:10When he asked me

15:11What I did for work

15:12Before I was in New York

15:13I told him I was a teacher

15:15In China

15:15And he goes

15:16Now I know you're bipolar

15:17The problem is

15:18Is he's a psychiatrist

15:19Full of biased

15:20The problem is

15:22Is I actually

15:22Really was a teacher

15:23In China

15:24Which I have video footage of

15:26Assaulting

15:27Racist

15:29Misogynistic

15:29I don't know

15:30But I'm sick of

15:32My accomplishments

15:33Being made into

15:36Criminality

15:36Or insanity

15:37And that's a very

15:38New York vibe

15:39Which surprised me

15:40I thought it was progressive

15:41Abroad is progressive

15:42Abroad is progressive

15:44More progressive minds

15:45Like

15:45When people ask

15:47This is the thing

15:47I was just talking about this today

15:49When I'm abroad

15:51You know

15:52They view me as a foreigner

15:53Like honestly

15:55I think in New York

15:56They view me as a ghetto bitch

15:57Like something like that

16:01Oh my gosh

16:02I hear you

16:03I've been abroad

16:03Many many many times

16:05And I actually love

16:06Being abroad

16:07Because

16:08You get more

16:09Appreciation for

16:10The understanding

16:12You have

16:12For your education

16:13For your talents

16:15There's more

16:16Of an appreciation

16:16For people over there

16:18Than there is here

16:19In the United States

16:19And I know

16:20Where you're coming from

16:21And if

16:22If I could

16:23If I could move anywhere

16:24It would definitely

16:25Not be in the United States

16:26It would definitely

16:27Be abroad

16:28So I understand

16:29Where you're coming from

16:29Definitely understand

16:30These braids

16:31Get you in trouble

16:32They're a battle crack

16:32I guess

16:36Tell me

16:37Tell me

16:38How can people reach you?

16:41So

16:42I would like you guys

16:43To support me

16:44I just started a GoFundMe

16:46I think like

16:47Law and Brave

16:48GoFundMe

16:49Like

16:50I also like

16:51Like I'm truly

16:52A genuine

16:52Genuine person

16:53I'm going to mention this

16:54Because we're talking

16:54About poverty

16:55When I was working

16:56As an HHA

16:56Some of my clients

16:57Are even poor

16:58Like I might have been

16:59Getting some food

17:00At the shelter

17:00I really couldn't use

17:01My food stamp card

17:02When I was homeless

17:02No fridge

17:03So I would use my food stamp

17:05Card on a lot of my clients

17:06What does that mean?

17:07When I am poor

17:08I mean poor enough

17:09To have food stamps

17:10Whatever

17:11And at a shelter

17:12I use my resources

17:14To help the community

17:15I'm someone who is a giver

17:17Like you know

17:18Like so like

17:18I will use

17:20The resources

17:20To like try to improve things

17:22Like I really like

17:23Do like

17:24I like

17:25You know

17:25We are kind of

17:26In this together

17:27It's more than

17:28A high school musical song

17:30Like

17:30It's like

17:31Like

17:32We're all in this together

17:33And it matters

17:35Like I have this song

17:35Called kindness walk

17:37And you know

17:38Honestly

17:39It matters

17:39If we're kind or not

17:40And then I would like

17:41To remind America

17:42We should start

17:42Being nice to each other

17:43Because like

17:4339% of us

17:44Have a head injury

17:45Apparently

17:47Yeah

17:48I agree with you

17:49I definitely agree

17:49With you on that

17:50And so

17:51Supporting you

17:52You said that

17:53What was the

17:54The GoFundMe again

17:56Lion Brave

17:57Lion Brave

17:58We're going to go ahead

17:59And then there's

17:59DHS shelters dot com

18:01Go visit

18:01DHS shelters dot com

18:03Looking to build

18:04Some technology

18:06Automation projects

18:07I believe like

18:08For instance

18:09Homeless women

18:11Have no

18:12Real way to

18:13Protect their identity

18:13Or even reclaim

18:14Their identity

18:15Once they're on the streets

18:16You know

18:17They're at the mercy

18:18Of a system

18:18That doesn't really

18:19Care about them

18:19Like if you look at

18:20What's going on

18:21In California

18:22They intentionally

18:22Have homeless people

18:23On a revolving door

18:24Because it checks

18:25Two boxes

18:26One

18:26When they check in

18:27Even if it's for a night

18:28They can say

18:28They helped somebody

18:29Even if they throw them

18:30Back on the streets

18:31The next day

18:31They collect their

18:33Information

18:33Their social security

18:34All that crap

18:35Throw them out

18:36The next day

18:36They can say

18:37They helped someone

18:37Then visible poverty

18:39Gets people grants

18:40And money

18:41So this is the pattern

18:42Especially in major

18:43Niche spots

18:44Like Chicago

18:45Portland

18:46California

18:46New York

18:48And like you know

18:48So

18:49I'm walking money

18:50I'm big money

18:51To the

18:52The industrial

18:54Shelter complex

18:55And you don't

18:57Want to be in that system

18:58Get out of it

18:58As soon as you can

18:59And

19:00Because they'll

19:00Just rotate you

19:01And

19:03What's my point

19:06I really don't know

19:08Y'all

19:10Shoot

19:10Well I would say

19:11That your point is

19:12To help other people

19:13And there's just
