Stay strong in your identity and your safu. Look to your community and make decisions like that which Gada have taught us. Look to the Jasa to lead us forward.

It tastes like mango.

It's essentially a recipe collection full of whole foods and vegetarian recipes, which is the way that we encourage people to get back to the fundamentals of eating more fruits and vegetables.

See, I haven't read back through all of that. But I also think when you're young and have gone through the situation I had just gone through, you are melodramatic. I don't have...

Tara, I have lost everything and I'm not here to regain it. But when you hit rock bottom, there is only an opportunity to be honest and to heal and to apologize. And I'm here to do that. There is no reason for me to lie, and it's not something I want to be doing either. So I didn't know whether I was getting worse. I didn't know if I was getting better. I didn't know if it was the same.

I thought that it was important to go and seek a scan and be confident in where I stood.

Yeah.

It wasn't an indicator. I went to the Alfred Hospital and I contacted Mark and I said to him, I'm not sure where things are at, so I want to go and get a brain scan. He had me sign paperwork which enlisted him as my medical professional where the scan from the Alfred would be then passed on to him so we could also consult on it. Right. So what did the brain scan show?

He brought in scans and it showed a brain tumour. But that wasn't my scan, because most recently I went back to the Alfred and I got my full portfolio from them. And I did get that brain scan, but there is no brain tumour there. Okay, so what date was that, Bill? When did you go to the Alfred? I will be able to give you this information.

I wasn't explicitly asked for any of that, but I have asked. Well, really? Of course I do. The producers I've been working with are aware of my health position. I wasn't... Bell, Bell, Bell.

No, because I wasn't living in a space where I didn't know that this wasn't my reality.

No.

That would be really heartbreaking to me because I never intended on doing that. Do you accept that that's what you might have done? I accept that might have happened. Well actually, how old are you? I've always been raised as being currently a 26 year old.

Well, I live knowing, as I've always known, that I would be 26.

I believe that I'm 26. I have two birth certificates and I've had my name changed four times. The identity crisis there is big, but that was my normal when I was growing up, Tara. What do you know the truth to be now? It's probably a question that we'll have to keep digging for, because it's not something I've ever understood or had answers around.

With my most recent deed poll paper, which has the younger of the age and the most recent of the name.

Correct. Tara, I'm trying to draw on information.

I am being honest with you.

Presently, when you speak to those back home, people are being arrested. People are being shot in the street because of their Oromo identity. You know, like the madness that is happening in the last week. came as a complete shock to everybody. Abiy has a chance to change this. He has a chance to liberate the entire nation of Ethiopia, not just one subsection.

the country he has a chance to unify everyone the eyes of the world are watching him especially after he won the Nobel Peace Prize everyone is looking and only after a few days of accepting this we've got almost a civil war breaking out people are looking he has a chance to change this but we are losing faith that that's his intention

My advice is in line with our hero, Joah. You know, let's look to the jhasa, just like the Gada system teaches us, like our forefathers have taught us, like our leaders are telling us now. Conduct yourself with samsapu, hold yourself. Don't make it worse for our people at this time. Defend yourselves and defend your honor, defend your identity.
