Description
City of Chelsea, Guest: Khalil Sadiq
A
A
I
think
it
was
picked
up
on
cctv
for
a
broader
audience,
but
I
want
to
bring
it
full
circle
and
talk
about
what
inspired
me
to
ask
my
guest
today
to
come
and
give
us
some
inspiration
of
his
journey,
and
why
he's
in
the
position
today
and
who
inspired
him
to
want
to
be
a
community
activist
advocate
and
so
much
more.
So
without
further
ado,
I
want
to
get
into
the
program.
A
Yes,
it
is
yes,
yes
definitely.
I
am
a
big
advocate
myself
for
equality
and
justice.
You
know
I
spent
four
years
watching.
You
know
different
segments
of
society
not
get
the
healing
that
they
need
and
we
continue
to
see
things
in
a
black
and
white
situation,
and
we
don't
get
out
of
that
box
and
see
that
we
have
to
bring
all
people
together
to
see
the
inequity
and
the
injustice
that
is
done
even
within
other
cultures
towards
each
other
period.
A
B
Yes,
absolutely
so,
I'm
originally
from
georgia
born
actually
in
florida,
but
raised
in
a
small
town
called
camilla
georgia.
So
camilla
georgia
is
like
27
miles
south
of
albeni
georgia
albany.
Georgia
is
relatively
a
historical
city
when
it
comes
to
the
civil
rights
movement.
A
lot
of
great
things
came
from
that
city.
Albany,
martin
luther
king
did
some
marching
in
that
space.
So
I'm
27
miles
south
of
albany
camilla
georgia,
dirt
roads.
B
Well,
part
of
the
reason
why
I
decided
to
go
into
the
marine
corps
is
because
I
wanted
to
have
something
that
I
could
do
after
high
school.
That
would
really
elevate
me
and
the
marine
corps
recruiter
would
come
to
the
high
school
often
and
finally,
he
got
my
attention
where
I
actually
sat
down
had
a
conversation
with
him,
and
he
really
gave
me
an
understanding
of
how
powerful
the
marine
corps
was,
and
I
decided
that
that's
what
I
want
to
do
after
high
school.
B
C
A
The
one
that
was
in
the
marines
was
the
hardest
core
one.
You
know
that's
my
uncle
earth
shout
out
hunker
yeah.
He
was
the
hardcore
of
all
of
them
and
I
used
to
hear
them
bicker
back
and
forth,
for
who
was
the
better
branch?
No
I'm
in
the
army,
I'm
in
the
navy.
You
know
they
used
to
go
on
and
on,
and
I
had
such
an
appreciation
for
men
that
served.
A
B
Well,
fortunately,
I
didn't
do
any
wartime,
okay,
but
I
was
stationed
in
hawaii,
so
I
was
stationed
in
hawaii
for
three
years.
I
did
a
year
in
okinawa.
I
was
attached
to
a
grunt
battalion,
second
battalion,
third
marines,
so
really
hardcore
unit,
but
my
job
was
an
administrator
right,
so
I
worked
in
what
is
called
srbs
service
record
books.
So
anytime
a
marine
would
come
into
the
office.
I
would
do
anything
related
to
your
pay
if
you
get
swim
call.
B
A
C
B
Of
my
family
lives
in
atlanta,
I
stayed
in
atlanta
for
a
couple
of
years
and
then
I
actually
did
move
to
cambridge.
So
a
friend
of
mine
was
living
in
cambridge
at
the
time.
He
kind
of
encouraged
me
that
there
was
a
great
opportunity
to
go
back
to
school.
Get
my
education
and
he
felt
like
boston
was
a
really
good
place
to
do
that.
So
after
doing
some
research,
I
said
you
know
what
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea,
so
I
decided
to
move
move
the
cambridge,
so
I
moved
in
cambridge
in
2002.
C
B
No
more
community,
organizing
again,
I
really
enjoyed
cambridge
at
the
time
when
I,
when
I
went
to
cambridge.
This
was
a
year
after
9-1-1,
oh
wow.
So
there
was
such
a
heightened
awareness
about
muslims
and
terrorism,
and
there
was
just
you
know,
similar
energy,
that
we
have
right
now
right
and
you
know
very
practicing
muslim
at
that
time.
So
a
large
part
of
my
work
was
just
being
in
the
muslim
community
and
really
advocating
for
muslims
and
educating
people
who
didn't
know
about
islam.
B
B
I
actually
did
a
cctv
television
show
for
a
number
of
years
called
muslims
inside
and
out,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity
before
I
had
people
in
cambridge
to
call
in
ask
me
questions
about
islam
and
muslims,
and
then
we
have
a
great
dialogue
about
it.
So
I
had
a
lot
of
good
time
in
cambridge.
Just
educating
the
community
about
something
that
a
lot
of
people
just
didn't
know
much
about.
A
Yeah
yeah-
and
you
know,
ignorance
is
bliss
when
you
don't
have
the
knowledge
of
people
in
your
community.
You
know
just
everyday
people
that
you
know
are
alienated
and
isolated,
and
it's
great
that
you
bring
that
to
your
platform.
Education
is
key.
I
believe
that
I
strongly
believe
it,
but
you
did
something
that
inspired
me
so
much
this
year.
A
You
open
up
some
trauma
for
me
with
your
documentary
stereotypes
and
assumptions,
and
we
can
we're
gonna
talk
about
that
a
little
bit,
but
I
want
you
to
get
into
what
inspired
you
to
even
go
in
that
direction,
because
when
I
was
growing
up
in
brooklyn
we
faced
that
and
that's
when
I
saw
that
I
thought
I
buried
it,
because
we
just
didn't
talk
about
it.
We
would
go
into
these
stores
and
feel
like
we
didn't
belong
in
our
own
communities.
You
know
we
were
treated
like
thieves
soon.
A
A
You
know
if
they
were
not
out
of
the
community
and
not
black,
they
would
get
treated
a
little
more
polite
and
we
used
to
talk
about
it
amongst
each
other
and
could
could
I
tell
you
when
I
watched
that
I
was
like.
I
want
to
always
talk
about
that,
but
I
couldn't,
and
here
comes
you
so
what
inspired
you
to
go
in
that
direction?.
B
Shout
out
she
reached
out
to
me
and
she
had
the
idea
to
do
that,
and
there
was
a
film.
I
forgot
the
name
of
the
film,
that
it
was
a
silent
film
that
we
actually
saw
with
that
which
really
set
up
this
understanding
about
stereotypes
and
assumptions.
So
just
shout
out
to
john
cromwell
for
just
having
the
creativity
to
want
to
go
in
that
direction,
and
it
really
felt
good.
B
I
think
the
film
did
a
really
good
job
kind
of
setting
up
the
context
of
what
stereotypes
and
assumptions
look
looks
like,
and
so
just
you
know
showing
the
film
having
the
conversation
about.
It
really
gave
people
an
opportunity
to
reflect
on
how
they
are
trauma
feel
throughout
the
day,
and
I
can
definitely
relate
to
what
you're
saying
about
a
black
person
going
into
a
store
being
followed
being
trilled.
These
are
all
things
that
are
associated
with
stereotypes
and
assumptions,
and
some
things
have
to
be
done
about
it.
A
B
It's
been
great,
my
inspiration
about
that
was
july
of
2020
right,
so
this
is
when
george
floyd
was
murdered
and
brianna
taylor
was
murdered
during
that
time
period.
I
was
doing
some
support
group
work
for
black
leaders
group
and
then
I've
been
running
and
when
that
happened,
I
decided
that
it
was
time
for
me
to
no
longer
be
a
part
of
a
support
group.
B
B
It
gives
me
a
lot
of
great
opportunity
to
have
good
conversations
with
predominantly
businesses
that
are
led
by
white
leadership
and
have
tough
conversations
about
race,
racism,
stereotypes,
assumptions
trauma.
All
of
these
things
are
very
relevant
and
you
know,
as
we
you
know,
look
at
how
the
news
works
and
everything
like
that.
We
know
that
there's
still
a
lot
of
trauma,
a
lot
of
healing
that
needs
to
happen.
So
you
know
you
know
me
being
a
racial
equity
consultant,
I'm
one
of
many.
That's
happening
in
in
america
today.
B
This
industry
right
now
is
growing.
So
a
lot
of
companies
are
realizing
that,
in
order
for
us
to
eradicate
a
lot
of
the
stereotypes
and
assumptions,
we
have
to
find
people
who
are
experts
in
the
field
who
can
help
us
build
the
capacity
to
have
the
conversations
to
make
the
policies
and
to
hire
the
right
people
in
order
to
have
a
real
type
of
community,
where
you're
having
the
removal
of
these
stereotypes
and
assumptions
and
actually
having
real
great
relationships.
A
B
2016.,
so
I
moved
here
december
2016
and
prior
to
being
here,
I
lived
in
dorchester,
okay
and
lived
in
dorchest.
So
a
little
bit
about
me
twice
homeless,
veteran
right,
and
so
a
lot
of
my
work
is
about
just
dealing
with
people
who
are
everyday
people,
people
who
are
struggling
a
lot
of
times,
people
who
are
ignored,
people
who
are
not
listened
to
yeah.
A
C
A
Well,
alumni
here:
okay,
let's
jams
on
that
one,
I
love
it.
I
love
it.
So
that's
why
I
was
like.
I
was
cambridge
india,
because
I
know
I
love
cambridge
and
it
gave
me
so
much
richness
because,
as
you
know,
I
came
to
college.
Our
professors
came
from
harvard
the
ones
that
were
getting
their
thesis,
you
know
and
their
phd.
They
were
coming
to
give
us
some
of
what
they
were
getting,
and
I
so
appreciated
that
and
so
moving
forward.
A
B
Did
I
get
involved,
I
wish,
how
did
I
get
involved?
I
just
remember:
joan
joan
cromwell
is
making
a
real
good
impression
and
me
being
curious.
You
know
so,
as
a
you
know,
a
community
organizer,
it's
my
job
to
be
in
the
community
and
to
listen
to
be
in
the
community
and
to
listen.
When
you
start
listening,
you
find
out
who
the
players
are
you
find
out
who
the
people
are,
that
that
know
things
you
find
out
who
the
decision
makers
are.
B
A
You
remember
that
through
your
curveball
right,
then
jog
that
marie
come
on
now
wake
up.
That
was
our
second
meeting
and
you
impressed
me
even
then,
because
he
was
like
come
on
y'all
get
together
and
it's
after
george
floyd.
We
need
to
know
where
we're
at
right
now.
We
need
to
know
where
the
community
is
at.
As
far
as
healing,
do
you
see
any
of
that
starting
to
manifest
healing.
B
Healing
yeah,
you
know
it's
starting
to
happen.
You
know.
One
of
the
great
things
that
I
see
about
chelsea
is
the
the
hiring
decisions
that
they're
making
when
it
comes
to
racial
equity.
Right
now,
so
we
know
we
have
dr
jennings
right
now,
a
person
that
I've
met
work
with,
I
think,
he's
a
fantastic
hire.
C
B
A
We
have
to
inspire
like
the
title
of
the
show
says:
we
have
to
inspire
other
generations
to
keep
that
going
absolutely
once
it
starts
to
heal.
We
want
to
keep
it
going.
We
don't
want
to
go
back
to
the
all
hurts.
You
know
that
we
are
we've
grown
accustomed
to,
because
you
can
hurt
so
much
where
you
become.
A
A
B
Yeah
protesting,
I'm
you
know
that's
what
I'm
hearing
protesting
you
know
and
I've
done
my
fair
share
of
protesting.
I've
worked
with
the
poor
people's
campaign.
I
did
in
2018,
and
so
we
did
a
lot
of
demonstrations
right
in
front
of
the
state
capitol
right
there
and
there
is
there's
benefit
in
protesting
right.
It's
performance,
but
it's
that's
not
all.
It
is
right.
You
know,
performance
protesting
has
its
place,
but
beyond
protesting
we
do
have
to
have
relationship
development.
Getting
to
know.
B
People
shouting
only
works,
so
much
ranting
only
works
so
much
holding
signs
and
doing
all
types
that
only
works.
So
much
dare
does
come
to
a
time
where
you
have
to
learn
how
to
sit
down,
listen
to
someone
sit
down
and
make
a
negotiation
sit
down
and
understand
that
there
are
certain
things
that
you
may
not
agree
with,
and
how
do
you
move
forward
from
that?
So
relationship
development?
I
think,
is
key
to
all
of
this
in
getting
to
learn
how
to
actually
dialogue
with
someone.
A
Stereotyped
you
know,
I'm
summing
up
all
of
what
we
were
talking
about
right
now
in
a
sense
where
we
didn't
think
that
we
had
to
go
to
a
therapist
to
to
get
over
those
things
like
I
I
would
say
to
my
mom
well,
this
is
such
and
such
happened
to
me
and
get
over
it.
You
know
move
on,
you
know
that
won't
be
the
first
person
and
it
won't
be
the
last.
B
B
C
B
C
A
A
A
A
You
know
if
you
don't
have
a
positive
input.
You
know,
even
though
I
might
be
bogged
down
with
things
I'll,
find
something
positive
out
of
that
situation,
and
it's
easier
said
than
done
for
some
of
us
than
others,
and
I
do
have
compassion
for
people
who
are
dealing
with
mental
health
issues.
We
talk
about
that
on
this
platform.
We
talk
about
many
broad
subjects,
but
on
a
lighter
note,
khalil,
okay,
to
sum
it
up,
you
know
I
really
wanted
to
know.
How
do
you
have
fun.
B
B
C
B
They
are
national,
and
one
of
the
newest
chapters
is
here
in
boston,
so
we've
been
around
since
last
year,
we're
going
to
be
celebrating
actually
we're
going
to
be
celebrating
our
year
anniversary
in
a
couple
weeks,
and
so
that
group
is
tremendously
fun.
It's
tremendously
educating
is
tremendously
fulfilling
and
that's
what
keeps
me
going
being
around
people
who
are
inspired
being
around
people
who
want
to
continue
to
push
themselves
being
around
people
who
are
courageous.
B
A
A
Dino,
washington,
jazz
healing
to
the
community
khalil,
you
know,
look
up
on
them
jazz
band
and
tell
them
come
on
down
and
play
for
the
people
in
chelsea
absolutely
yeah.
Well,
I'm
glad
that
you
do
have
fun
in
your
life.
I
do
okay
because
life's
too
short
not
to
and
like
you
said,
sometimes
the
pains
and
it's
taxing
what
you
do
you
know,
so
I
I'm
pleased
to
know
that
you
get
out
there
and
you
run
it
off
and
that's
what
inspires
you?
A
B
Well,
you
know
one
of
the
things
I
do
is
I
listen
and
I
watch
inspirational
videos
on
youtube
and
I
do
that
every
morning
it
it
primes
me
right,
so
I
get
up
boom.
I
put
on
my
video
and
they're
speaking
about
inspirational
things.
So
the
first
thing
I
would
do
is
that
whenever
you
start
your
day
start
it
off
with
something
that's
going
to
be
positive,
it
doesn't
even
have
to
come
from
yourself.
We
have
tons
of
content
out
there.
So
youtube
is
a
great
place.
B
B
B
You
have
to
find
a
way
to
get
support.
I
think
it's
really
important
not
to
try
to
do
anything
by
yourself,
because
you
know
a
lot
of
things
can
have
come
up
that
can
cause
problems,
so
you
know
find
content.
That
motivates
you
stay
connected
to
your
friends
and
then
find
adults
that
you
can
also
relate
to
that.
Can
you
know
emphasize
the
positiveness
in
you
and
then
provide
you
with
resources
that
you
can
go
to.
A
A
Curiosity,
that's
one
two.
I
love
people,
I
just
love
people.
I
wanna
see
the
best
for
people
like
people
saw
the
best
for
me
when
I
couldn't
see
it
and
that's
why
you
know
I'm
grateful
to
cctv
for
letting
me
have
this
platform.
I
always
say
it
because
my
aim,
my
aim
is
to
inspire
as
well
and
I
aspire
to
be
this
great
artist.
One
day
I
aspire
to
have
someone
help
me
write
my
book.
