I'm going to say two things for you before you get started.

You know how we talk. You just talk to them. And then you give them the advice. You give them the words of encouragement. That's all you got to do, really. Just be there. Be that cool person that talk to them, but also be stern with them, too. You know, you got to have the balance. You got to have the coolness, and you also got to have the sternness. Keep it real with them. Yeah.

Just also always keep it real with them. Provide safety. Yeah. A safe space for them. Right. What else you got? That's it, brother. Go ahead. What's your name? Ute. ate that down with that infiltration bar. That was a bar. Because listen, we said this at the Jackson show. I think we should reiterate this here. We look at code switching as assimilating when we need to look at it as infiltration.

We're bilingual too. Go get the information. Yeah, you know. Does it feel weird to have to put on that mask? Yeah, but they put on that mask all the time. They don't mind coming to the mask and appropriating our culture. They don't mind coming and talking, using our talking points, using our literature, using our history to gain our trust just to fuck us over. They don't mind that. Facts.

They don't never call that code switching. They call it infiltration. And we should have the same mentality. We are needed in all of these spaces. And you're needed. You are more needed than you know to them black kids. Because they know that you're there. They probably feel alone. I know they feel outcast. And I know they feel targeted. But they know they got you. You're already doing it. Just...

You know, continue to be an advocate for them. You know, more than anything, that'll have a positive impact. And they'll remember you. But we commend you. I mean, you're still doing your thing. It's not hard to be the only one. But unfortunately, in this country, there's always going to be the first. When it comes to black people, we're always going to be the first something.

You get to be the first. We the first podcast to talk about real shit consistently. You the first. Keep being the first. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, that was it. We got the regular emails now.

We're going to get y'all these emails. We're going to get up out of here. And then tomorrow, next week, we'll start the new music. But we'll do it. We'll drop like two episodes that day. That way y'all can get them back to back. Because we got some shit to do today. And it's rumming down that sun. I'm going to go down there and tell some food up. All right. Hello. I absolutely love the podcast.

Love the great work y'all have been doing. I do currently need advice though. I'm 21 years old and last semester I was supposed to graduate with my bio degree, but because of my declining mental health, I was recently diagnosed bipolar. I failed two classes. After discovering this, I decided to take the semester off and start full time at Social Service Center.

I've spoken to my advisors and I am ready to return in the fall. The problem is I go to school in a very small town. I have to work in a slightly larger town about 30 minutes away and there are very few jobs. I'm currently debating taking an eight-week biotechnology processing program in my hometown two hours away.

I have to work in a slightly larger town about 30 minutes away and there are very few jobs. I'm currently debating taking an eight-week biotechnology processing program in my hometown two hours away.

The program is free and includes a stipend, but I will have to step away from my job for about a month because the program is incredibly extensive. The major problem is that I am very independent. I have a job, I pay my own bills, I have my own apartment, and will have to move back in with my mother to complete the program while I am still paying rent.
