Charleston White

So I landed my dream job.

And shout out to Diamonddale Adolescent Group Home.

So I was working with the kids who was either getting ready to go to YA or coming out of YA.

So I wasn't out here gangbanging.

So I met Melvin Farmer on the Internet.

He invited me to a speaking engagement with an Olympian star athlete.

Althea Moses, she's from here, so she's from LA.

So I met him doing youth advocacy in anti-gang cognitive intervention work, gang prevention.

So I never hung out in LA streets.

I would catch the Uber to go hang out with him at St.

Andrews Park to work in the community center right there with the kids.

So I've never had a bad experience.

So through Melvin Farmer,

I met King Baba Louie.

When I met King Baba Louie, I had a relative that was in town at the time.

We all fell in love with King Baba Louie because he didn't come off as a gang-banging guy.

So we invited King Baba Louie for a speaking engagement to come to Texas.

That's how I got connected here.

So through King Baba Louie...

I was invited to go to Nipsey's funeral with Melvin because he didn't have a ride to the funeral.
