Like if I were to say, Roy, what's your why?

You're going to tell me your son.

Right.

But when I say, why is your son your why?

I call that your because.

So if I were to say, Roy, man, what's your because?

Why do you do the things that you do?

Why do you have the legacy that you're trying to leave behind?

I do what I do in an effort to better inform, to confirm to our people, to Black people, that they aren't crazy in what they're seeing or what they're feeling.

because so many people will gaslight us into thinking that what we see is not there.

So, you know, if I can confirm to Black folks what they're thinking and feeling while opening new eyes from non-Black people on what we're going through, then mission accomplished, you know, because a lot of people don't know what's happening, you know, to our people.

You know, I'm a hammer and a nail.

I'm not a screwdriver.

I'm not an Allen wrench.

I don't know how to do none of that.
