Charleston White

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.

He was standing in the backyard of, of, of, of King, King Bobby Louie's mom's house, uh, up there in like a little shack.

I called a lift, met him the day before Nipsey, the day of Nipsey's funeral.

He and I lifted to the rolling sixties neighborhood that day.

I met a cappuccino, uh, the head of the rolling sixties.
