A young Black speaker describes how he becomes an informal therapist for friends while carrying his own pain, then urges foster children to break cycles of dysfunction. Karamo affirms his message about unaddressed trauma in the Black community.
I want people to get from this is talk about it. I feel like in the Black community, no one ever sit down and talk. They just move on. My friends, it feel like I'm a therapist at times, even though I'm hurting myself. But I sit and I hear my friends' problems. Anybody I talk to, they have issues and it all stems from them, their trauma, not being able to talk. And I came here today to set the record straight for all of those foster children. It's kids that I run across, I wanna show them that you don't have to be fucked up. You don't have to be like the people you came from. You can move forward, get outta that environment and do better 'cause you can. It's never too late.
Okay, listen, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. You're a very smart young man. You're a smart, smart man. You hear me? You got a bright, bright, you got a future ahead of you, you understand? Like the way that your mind works, I could see you sitting in this seat one day. You hear me? Very smart.
