Didn't want to come to Baltimore, man.
I know, I know.
Afraid you would never leave because that's what happens.
Yeah, I think that before we do that, we just got to take one step back, right?
When we think about Baltimore and gun violence, everyone thinks about TV shows, homicide, life on the street, the corner of the wire, obviously.
But
For me, that's real life, right?
I was born here in Baltimore in 1984.
So fortunately and unfortunately, my formative years are the years that everyone thinks about when they think about violence in Baltimore, the 80s, 90s, early 2000s.
Actually, the reason why I, before I was 10 years old, decided I wanted to be the mayor of Baltimore is because of gun violence.
I was
out playing basketball in their mouths and someone started shooting and someone got shot right the person didn't die right uh to be honest we didn't like we don't even know if the person went to the hospital it was a different time different time uh back then but uh pestered my parents my grandparents aunts uncles everybody about like why no one really cared about what happened
And probably to shut me up in the way in the way black mothers have this way of like making you shut up, but not squashing your dreams at the same time.
Right.
Like and she just said, if you want to change, you got to do it yourself.
And that's when I decided I wanted to be the mayor of Baltimore.
Yeah.
Well, before I was like seven at the oldest seven or eight years.
You were like, I'm going to be something else?
