After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that
arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,

Zoe Leigh.
How you feeling?
I'm well.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Thanks for coming.
Thanks for joining us.
You got your folder out.
You got stuff to talk about today.
You're not coming to play.
There is not too many people I like to watch more on Instagram
because, you know,
we always have these conversations
about you got to be involved,
you know, with your local politics.
You know, you got to be
on top of your local government.
Zoe will be at these
city council meetings in Chicago
every week.
Every week.
Raising.
Holy hell.
Holy hell.
So I want her to talk
about all of that.
What happened between you and the city of Chicago? The whole city, huh?
Yeah, the whole city. So in 2017, the city of Chicago elected officials, the building department, unlawfully demolished my family's property.
And that is the violation of the Fifth Amendment. And the city of Chicago manipulates the Fifth Amendment because they say that it really wasn't the Fifth Amendment because you there wasn't a roadway or there wasn't a railroad.
So technically it's not that. But then they have demolition laws and demolition laws is you still have to compensate the person. And we have yet to be compensated.
Now, for people that, this is all over the country.
So to break it down in simple terms,
if you own a property, the city cannot just take your property
unless they say they have to build a roadway, a highway,
or something like that, or some type of public transportation
to get people from left to right,
whether it's a train system, subway system, or something like that.
But either way, they still got to compensate.
But they're not allowed to take a thing.
If they do, they're supposed to give you market value
for your property or home.
We see it happen all the time.
But they didn't give you anything at all.
And you're saying there was no subway or highway or train system
or nothing like that there.
So why did they say they demolished the property?
They said building violations.
And it's crazy because my mother was um fixing up it's a it's a commercial property at that so it's commercial property at the bottom it's four apartments at the top and my mother was working
on it and how we found out that the building was unlawfully demolished was the electrician he
called he said hey miss marsh the building isn't here and my
mother called the city they had no information but you only you so you didn't even know they
were going to demolish they didn't tell you that they were going to demolish the building they just
you just drove by one day and the building wasn't there anymore yeah the the electrician
that's crazy and said that it was no longer there so my my mother at the time, she's 73. She's like,
no, they're not, you know, they're not supposed to do that. So she went, you know, down the city
hall. She spoke to the law department. They really couldn't give her any information.
But one person in the law department told her to go get a police report. So she did go back and
get a police report. And then they told her to file a claim. She filed the claim. And they said that the reason why they weren't we weren't paid out was because of building violations.
And I said, well, where are the building violations? You have to go to buildings court.
You have to go through a whole lot of stuff. You just can't knock down a building.
And come to find out, my mother was fighting this by herself.
At that time I
was managing and I was working doing my own thing and I kept telling my mom I'm
like well you know just get a lawyer and in Chicago they have it well you can't
get an attorney you can't get in the black communities what they've what they
have done is they prey on black seniors they play on on our on our communities and on buildings
and properties that are already paid off so not mortgages and that's what i think a lot of people
don't understand you know you own a home but if you're still paying a mortgage or do you really
own that home you know these homes have already been paid this this has been in my family since
1965 okay it's a sandpiper lounge it was it
was a landmark before that it was fanny may candies you know so there was no so there was
no tennis they didn't have to take anybody out the building no no my godfather was living in there
they told him he had 10 minutes to get out and he's 80 christ you know 10 minutes to get out 10
10 minutes to get out and he's 80 now mind you they don't have social media they don't
you know um and then at the time the only attorneys that you can get for stuff like eminent domain or
um them stealing our properties is two it was two and it was vodoliac ed vodoliac and ed burke now
they both have been convicted of um stealing properties like they're both like we're aldermen at the time
so chicago has a thing that no matter what you're not gonna get no justice like chicago is one of
the most corrupt cities on earth and they put my mother in the hospital twice so i had to leave
atlanta put myself in storage and i've been fighting ever since now mind you while i'm
fighting i'm dealing with this immigration
invasion that's coming in i have other black seniors that are coming down to city to city
council as well because they're stealing their properties too and it's only in certain areas
it's in tiff districts now new york is the district district do you understand you know
what that is no what's the district it tax increment financing. So they're supposed to give you money in blighted areas,
in predominantly black areas.
And they're supposed to help you build your community up.
But the money-
Give you tax breaks, things like that.
They want to encourage more people in the community
to invest back in the community.
Yeah.
And what they're doing is they're taking the money,
we call it a piggy bank,
and now they're giving it to um
predominantly white areas and now hispanic areas and our black areas are not getting anything but
it's in certain areas englewood my property was in auburn grisham south shore south shore is the
only black area still in chicago that's by lake michigan everybody know about summertime shot
so they're taking our properties.
You can't get any help.
You can't get any media, you know,
and I'm not from Chicago.
My mother's from Chicago.
My mother left there in 1978 because it was so racist.
I'm from Albany, New York.
And I just fight different.
You know, when I first started this,
everybody was like, oh, you're going to need 100 people.
And I'm like, nah, because everybody,
it's different times and different generation. Everybody not going to fight like oh, you're going to need 100 people. And I'm like, nah, because everybody, it's different times and different generation.
Everybody not going to fight like me, you know.
And I've always been that person to question, to challenge.
I know how to read.
We have to know our Constitution.
A lot of people do not know the U.S. Constitution.
You know, the crazy thing is if you had squatters in there, it probably would have took them a lot longer to get it out because a lot of times squatters have more right than the actual homeowners and business owners let me ask you a question i know uh when they said the violations i know a lot
of times especially the government what they do is is they'll give you violations like they say
you had trash on your property and they'll give you a ticket for that was was that part of the
violations things like that um now they're giving us because we still own the land so now they're
giving us violations for that no it was um they said it was abandoned it
wasn't abandoned and they do that if the doors are not locked or the windows are broken um
basically abandoned that was the main thing they said that one of the doors was messed up it was
not messed up um it's just that they wanted that property they wanted that property because it was
in a tiff zone and they continue to do this and they do it they prey on seniors yeah i've heard that before
what is what is the property worth well what would be the value of the property if it was up and
running and everything probably about 10 to 15 million wow and um has to be it would have to be
more than that because you would have to also count on the fact that if you had tenants and
you had rent yeah especially now with this immigration situation like you know like that's
one thing my mother said like damn if we had the building we'd be able to house because they're
giving so much money out you know so um and rent rent is expensive like the fact that the fact that
i have to pay rent a month when i have four apartments and a commercial property i have a
i have my own brand i'm into comedy i'm in a lot of. I have my own brand. I'm into comedy.
I'm into a lot of uncomfortable truth lifestyle. My motto is paper pussy peace.
You know?
You used to manage Dick Gregory.
I used to manage Dick Gregory.
And I just feel like I am, like I'm just not being,
I'm being heard, but I'm shadow banned as well.
Because at the end of the day day this is a thing that happens
in chicago and if i get heard or if you know thank you i appreciate you guys for letting me on this
platform because chicago's scared you know um and they're scared because they know this is what they
do we have 110 illinois state black representation in Congress
and they
don't do anything.
And this is a Democratic city.
So, you know,
when people talk about Democrats, you know,
how the democracy
and how they care,
Chicago different. So what are
they saying the building is worth and
what are they saying? Are they just saying, well, we just molested F you and your family? What are they saying the building is worth and what are they saying? Are they just saying well we just molested
F you and your family? What are they saying now?
They were not
under the impression that we owned it.
So that is one of the arguments
and it's been in a trust the whole time.
So
they went and got a fraudulent
document and said that oh a guy
named Timothy owns it but
the person Timothyothy is um the
same person that so back in the day when you would get deeds from like it was lasalle bank lasalle
bank is now um bank of america um the the um the not they nominate some they nominate somebody
and the person who they nominate is usually a bachelor or a widower so they so back then the deeds would have this name on there that the bank nominated so
they're trying to use that as this is the person that owned it that's like no we own it is timothy
still alive is timothy trying to say he owns it timothy 90 and no no timothy's dead first of all
okay that's number one and number two is that's what they used to do back in the day like if you look up how they used to do it so the thing is my mom's 75 my godfather's 80
they're not supposed to you know they just take our properties and they're going to continue to
do it if no one does not fight for it and we get some legislation so when you're down there at you
know uh these city council meetings are you alone in this fight?
Are there other people that's experiencing a legal
eminent domain? Yeah, there's a lady named
well, she's not experiencing a legal
eminent domain. She's experiencing
they're trying, her name is Jessica
Jackson. They're trying to
take her property through probate court.
Now, her mother had no debt.
Her mother left
a three-family building in South Shore.
South Shore is still only one of the places that black people have for the lake.
And they're trying to take our property. And that's and she said, you know, that's when that's that has been paid off since she was 16.
She's 61. So who's the because, you know, it's it's the somebody behind it. Right. So I'm sure it's some white man that or could be black because that happened to my parents in Brooklyn.
So my parents had a brown son in Brooklyn. My grandfather passed away, left it down to it was like 12 of them.
And he finagled his way on the deed and then was almost like part of the kids, part of that process.
And I see them do that a lot, especially when they feel like people don't understand,'t know the laws and they get in and then they'll be able to get this script so
have you figured out who's behind trying to buy this because somebody seems like they're trying
to buy this property it's a white developer and that's what they do the and you know unfortunate
it's unfortunate unfortunate but our aldermen um make deals behind our back and for you know paybacks whatever they want to call it
and they promise our properties to them and you can't get any help you know my mother we have a
federal court case it's sort of it's like pro se um we do have an attorney but you know i'm still
you know skeptical when it comes to him because they pay out like
they pay but there's a there's an act called blight property act 1947 1949 and the blighted
property act 1947 1949 that a lot of people don't talk about is even if they felt like it was an
abandoned building or they felt like it was something wrong with it they're supposed to go
to the governor and the governor is supposed to ask the attorney
general to eminent domain.
And you still have to compensate.
They don't do no law like no policies.
And I say this all the time.
Chicago policies do not trump the U.S. Constitution.
It does not trump federal laws.
And that's the problem, I think, with America.
Like, we don't understand that the Constitution is for us, of what color we are what can be done now like what can
be done right now they can um settle my case um but i know the reason why they won't settle it i
feel like is because it'll be a line down at cook county and city hall because they they black people
have normalized that this is just what chicago do
chicago just steal property you can't get no help it ain't just chicago you know they were doing
that in south carolina doing it detroit yeah atlanta somebody just sent me something in um
atlanta they're doing it so it has to be some type of legislation and that's my issue like with this
this election that's coming up like we need something as far as black America.
I don't know, whatever you guys identify as, because it's like a pronoun situation.
If you're a freedman, freedwoman, whatever, you know, ADOS, whatever.
But as me, I'm a black American.
That's why I'm born and raised here.
My family, you know, that's what I identify as.
But there needs to be some type of legislation when it comes to our housing and there's no
legislation. So what are they trying to build
there now? Because they demolished it.
You still own the property. Are they trying to
do something? No, they tried to
sell it behind our back twice, the
land. But we were able to
take care of that. How do they sell it behind
your back? Because they play
with deeds. So you can go into
Cook County right now, right?
And you may know the guy
and you may find somebody that's a notary
and you pay them something
and you say, hey.
This person signed a deed over.
Yeah.
And how much is the property worth right now
as it sits?
Well, it's no property.
It's just land.
Well, just the land.
How much is the land worth as it sits?
To me, it's $3 billion.
I imagine.
It's three land. It's land. I need my money. I need, I need, it's $3 billion. I imagine. It's three land.
It's land.
I need my money.
I need, I need,
that's my generational wealth.
What's the realistic number though?
The realistic number?
What's the Zillow number?
I think probably about a million.
I think land is worth
probably about a minimum
of a million dollars.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's big.
First of all, it was 10 lots.
They took,
they already took six of the lots and
only left us with four lots the lots behind us is our lots too but they put a save a lot there
so the save a lot should be paying y'all yeah like they this is just what they do they put a
they put a and the save a lot's not even there no more they put a business on your property yes
they took half the lots and we have a um crazy
a parking lot so like i write um save a lot like every month and let them know play with me if you
want to because i'm not playing with y'all like y'all this is this is not what you guys do like
this is not i don't know what so i am so confused i i really don't know how people could build on a
piece of property that they don't have a deed on chicago do whatever they want to do and it's and it's a cycle like i was talking to
somebody the other day she says she's been fighting for her grandmother's property since 1962 i mean
it's been her it's been her house since 1962 she's been fighting for 10 years and she says
she just gave up this might be a funny question but where's the elected officials right there's
no elected officials in that district in stealing money stealing this immigration money jesus like that's that's the problem too we
have to change the culture of these politicians because they both trash on both sides you know
the republicans is terrible the democrats is terrible what but the issue with Chicago is Chicago's turned to a communist city.
Like it's only Democrats. You cannot even if you want to run as a Republican, you're not going to win.
They have it as just Democrats. So what what names can people go at?
Because you just can't say the city of Chicago. I got to be particular.
Marlene Hopkins, that's the building department we can
say her date alderman david moore is the date let's go one by one explain what that person
does and how they involve so people understand okay because you got to break it down because
a lot of people will be confused like me like how the hell does this even happen okay so we got
marlene hopkins marlene hopkins is now the commissioner of the buildings department she
should have been fired when there was this little village explosion
back three years ago when she was negligent with that.
So what happens is anybody, one of her friends, or I'll say my alderman,
Alderman David Moore can call up and say,
hey, I need you to put this in for the buildings department.
Say that it was building violations.
That's why we demolished it.
And people go with that instead of knowing, like have to go to building's court. Now, my mother
received a voicemail from the law department and they gave her three options. The first option was
that she was supposed that our alderman, which was David Moore, the 17th ward,
was supposed to reach out to us and offer us some
type of money. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running
Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those
runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my
guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once
we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people you know follow and admire join
me every week for post run high it's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the
heart of it all it's light-hearted pretty crazy and very fun listen to post run high on the iheart
radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Conversation. Yeah, conversation. He was supposed to go through the chairman of the city of finance,
and at that time, it was Ed Burke. Ed Burke is now convicted. He's 80 years old, now convicted
of taking bribes and taking property. Then you have, the next one was file a claim. We filed a claim with the city. Now,
the city said that my mother's claim, it expired and it did not expire. The statute of limitations,
the statute of limitations for Illinois for any type of claim is two years. And they told my mom
that she didn't get her claim in time they knocked the
building down december 11th 2017 right my mother put the claim in october 4th 2018 they were they
gave us back a letter december 11 2018 i got everything this this says that the claim was
not put in time and that the statute of limitations expired.
That's insurance fraud.
That's bad faith insurance fraud because my mother put it in.
So then when my mother went to hire a lawyer, they told the lawyer the same thing.
And a lawyer put it in on the letterhead like, look, they're saying the statute of limitations has expired.
However, you still have time to file a lawsuit.
My mother filed a lawsuit.
And when my mother filed a lawsuit, they still tried to deny the lawsuit because they said, well, we don't know who owns it.
You know who owns it.
You know who owns it.
So now we're fighting with the ownership part.
Now, they put in a fraudulent deed, but they didn't record it.
What they did was they went and got a stamp of the person who was the recorder of deeds at that time.
His name was Edward Moody.
Edward Moody, he went and got, he got, he was on trial for Steve, for Michael Madigan.
Michael Madigan is about to be on trial.
He was, they all ain't shit in Chicago.
It sounds like it's corruption.
It's public corruption. It's just big public corruption.
There's Tony Preckwinkle, who is
the Cook County president who needs
to retire. And
anybody can go up to
the second floor, the fifth floor
and change our deeds.
And you can't get no help.
It really seems like big bank take little bank, right?
Because the amount of money I'm hearing
that you have to pay attorneys is through the roof.
But you said you can't even get an attorney.
Yeah, because they don't want to touch this case
because this, first of all,
you know, the uncomfortable truth is I'm black.
You know, my family's black.
That's number one.
Number two, number three is,
well, number two is, I'm black. You know, my family's black. That's number one. Number two, number three is, well, number two is,
Chicago is still one of the most segregated cities in America.
And they work with each other.
We have no civil rights attorneys.
There's no civil rights attorneys.
I don't even fuck with Ben Crump.
You understand what I'm saying?
Like, there's no civil rights attorneys.
I reached out to Ben Crump.
We don't have, the only time we have civil rights attorneys is if we get killed okay i call
it the hashtag package i gotta get killed in order to get a civil rights attorney in order to get
some type of compensation and some type of justice and some media i gotta go why do i have to get
killed or my family member has to get killed in order for me
to find a civil rights attorney and that's the problem our civil rights are being violated
on the regular and we cannot find any attorneys so for this election coming up and you've got all
these people that want us to the democrat democrats democrats democrats the democrats
is fucking me over in chicago you know we have the most representation in black Democrats and I can't get no help.
Even they'll tell us, you know, the alderman stuff.
You need to get a lawyer.
How the fuck can I get a lawyer?
There's there's a civil rights attorney, Matt Martin.
He is an alderman.
You are a civil rights attorney.
You see me coming in there every week.
Isn't that a conflict of interest?
It doesn't matter
you can find somebody yeah yeah you know you're like like it's just it's just messed up like
you're hearing this you're hearing this but you're fighting for affordable housing
like how do you fight for affordable housing as a as a civil rights attorney as an alderman as a
public servant right but you see three people coming down there about their properties for a
year and you have nothing to say. How can people help you if they want to get in touch with you?
Let's say they want to help. Let's say there is a way they know a civil attorney. Maybe there's a
real estate attorney that can help you. How can people help you? Or even financially say, look,
I want to throw some money in your thing to make support because this is going to be a long fight.
It's going to be a costly fight. How can they help you i have a brand y'all can purchase a shirt i'm comfortable truth lifestyle
dot com um my instagram is mr steal your wig at gmail.com and i have um my mother has a non-profit
it's um notre dame affordable housing and it's n d a h i n c dot com online um and she just really wants to
build her building back like until this is settled because we've been waiting over 120 days i i argue
this case november 1st i was able to to argue this case to the judge and the judge was so surprised
you know because i'm not a lawyer but but this, I know how to read.
I know how to comprehend. And I know that this is not what's up.
And I know that there's too much money out here in the government,
in America, our taxpaying dollar,
that I have to continue to fight and not get no justice.
You know, it's also interesting too, cause, um, uh, you know, interesting too, because I follow you and I saw not just this fight,
but what you've been saying about the migrants.
Yeah, the migrants, they spent too,
like I know Dr. Umar was here
and he was saying that they spent over 400 million.
No, they spent 2.2 billion.
And I have it, like I got all of it.
Like I have been keeping like the records,
like it's $2.2 billion dollars and i was saying
all of this back in january because of activists like zone but also because of who we talk to here
in new york what we see in new york going on and when i'm bringing up these issues people say it
was maga messaging it's not maga messaging no black people in this in this no we are at a like
honestly like like all jokes aside we are at a race of emergency
when it comes to black america whatever you call yourself because i don't that's another argue to
the moors and stuff they want i don't want to argue with y'all but whoever didn't black people
we are at a race of emergency when it comes to these immigrants and that's just what it is
we we give our vote and i'm just saying i'm not saying vote for whoever you want to vote, but we continue to vote blue and we do not get anything.
We just watch George Floyd get killed in front of us.
We just watch Sonia Massey as an Illinois just get killed in front of us.
And we still do not have a hate crime bill. Now, the Asians then got a hate crime bill during COVID.
OK, the Jews, anti- hate crime bill during COVID. Okay? The Jews,
anti-Semitism, they just got
a, they just, that just passed through Congress.
So how many times do we have to get killed to
get some type of legislation? But we continue
to vote blue, and if we don't vote,
it's turned to a cult. I'm 38
years old, right? And I have common sense.
And I think this is
the election of common sense. Okay?
We just watch, we have, I'm'm watching our I'm going to these meetings.
Right. Finance meeting is very important. The budget meeting is very important.
Housing and real estate is very important in your local your local states.
And you're watching all this money being passed. Right.
You're watching. All this money being passed for housing for for for resources they're using
our statistics like we're the highest and everything shooting we even get hit by bicycles
like how the fuck bicycles like you know what i'm saying like you we're we're for everything right
so you get this money and then none of it goes to our community where's the money at where's the audits where's irs
criminal division like there was in 1984 in chicago there was something called operation
gray lord operation gray lord is when they went and got they picked up judges they picked up police
officers lawyers all that for all the corruption right and it needs to be another operation gray
lord but this time with the city and but the IRS, the IRS was involved.
The feds were involved because IRS criminal division needs to be involved because there's too many people sleeping on the street.
Migrants as well for you to have two point two billion dollars, you're spending seven hundred thousand dollars a month.
I mean, seven hundred thousand dollars a day on shelters where is this money at you're
dumping these undocumented immigrants in our communities that are already under resourced
you're pushing us out there's been mass illegal evictions right and they're not even putting that
online they're not even putting that on the news because they get more money with the illegals
you know so like we're messed up and this is our election so like my thing is
people say oh you know uh trump is racist uh uh the republicans are racist well let's get into
the democratic party like when the last time y'all really did something for us like when i talk even
about crack epidemic every person that was that the family member or or a main guardian was on crack every child should have
been able to go to school for free like that messed us up we prevailed we prevailed slavery
the race riots jim crow uh crack epidemic mass incarceration now we're dealing with illegal
invade illegal immigrants y'all have all this money? You know, and they go back and forth. Well, it was a Republican. It's a Democrat.
Well, at the end of the day, you know,
Kamala, like, there was an executive order.
Executive order 14010.
That was issued by President Biden,
but she was supposed to
oversee when it came to
these immigrants coming over here from
South America and stuff like that.
And I understand you're the vice president.
Well, who did you have to help you oversee?
Because I've been an assistant.
I've been an assistant to Killer Mike.
I've been a manager to DeGregory and assistant.
And when they need me to do something,
I go ahead and do it.
So if you put somebody else in charge,
they just opened up the border on our asses.
You know what I'm saying?
But then in 2021,
when them Haitians was trying to come over here,
they was pushing them back.
So you got to keep the same energy.
But you find all this money, $2.2 billion, $700,000 a day on migrant shelters,
but we're supposed to continue to vote the way that we vote?
No, what are you going to give us?
We need legislation.
We need a hate crime bill
today. You know,
people keep talking about, oh, Trump wants to give
immunity to police. Police already have immunity.
Look at your, look at your, look
at your, your, your U.S., look at
the Constitution. Look at the civil rights
that will be violated.
I sued Delta by myself.
Okay, I had my shirt on, paper pussy piece,
and they said, oh, you can't have that on, da-da-da-da. Show me in a policy where I can't have it. Show me in a policy where I can't by myself. Okay. I had my shirt on paper, pussy piece. And they said, Oh, you can't have that on.
Show me in a policy where I can't have it.
Show me in a policy where I can't have it.
How much you want?
I want $20,000.
Okay.
But.
Now they made me take off my hat one day.
That's why I said,
my hat says sex.
And they made me take off my hat one day.
but there's no policy.
Just like how they telling people that they can't wear the Palestine flag.
The employees.
What?
Like what happened to freedom
of speech it's 2024 my nigga like it's 2024 we're not living in 1900s we're not living in 1901 like
this is crazy so my thing is i've always said we i have a black agenda we don't have a black agenda
i have a black agenda and my thing is we need where it's supposed to be 12 of america is black
right we need 12 of jobs we need 12 right? We need 12% of jobs.
We need 12% of contracts.
We need 12%.
And if neither one of these parties can give us 12%, what are we voting for?
Because people say, oh, our ancestors died for this.
Our ancestors, our ancestors looking at us like, bitch, what are y'all doing?
I know for sure Dick Gregory is not like, yeah, just continue to vote because you just want to vote.
Yeah, just continue to vote. No. Like to vote. Yeah, just continue to vote.
No.
What the fuck is you going to give us?
Give us.
We don't have.
Our kids are beating.
What's that?

They beat us in a day.
Why don't we have video game developers or anything like that in our communities why don't
we have any stem programs in our community apps y'all are making they making a killing off of us
on on instagram do you see how much the pennies that we get in social media the pennies that we're
getting why don't we have our own social media and i know fan base but fan base but i'm just saying like that we don't have we don't have the resources but we are the bank of
america we are the culture of america we are america and we continue to get penny i'm tired
of it the black the the democratic agenda is the lgbtq agenda and i I'm part of it, but that's a white agenda, okay?
It's abortions as well and immigration, okay?
The Republicans are these extreme, crazy Christian reviews when it comes to women's rights.
And my thing is women's rights should be off the table.
There's no way in the world that they should be arguing back and forth and that's our fault you know and we continue to allow little things like
how we let um bruce jenner what's his name caitlyn jenner be woman of the year what the
fuck was wrong with us what the fuck was wrong with us yeah like none of this makes any sense
and this is common sense pretty soon the, the Democratic Party, men ain't going to have no voice.
Y'all can't say shit.
If y'all say anything, here come a rape charge.
Here come a whole, like groupies, groupies been out here.
Wholes been out here.
And they're going to continue to side bitches for life.
They're never going nowhere.
Let's bring it back to Chicago.
Now, how can people help you with your illegal eminent
domain I need a civil rights attorney and and I and I and I feel like it um a civil rights attorney
um there's plenty of other people that do need help out there but there's legal foreclosures
you're stealing um properties um through tax and through delinquent taxes, but it's really not delinquent.
But yeah, I need
an attorney. I need an attorney

at gmail.com. Well Zoe,
we appreciate you joining us and keep us
abreast of what's going on.
And I hope just providing this platform
gets the word out because like I said,
I've been watching you fight this fight
for a long time on IG.
Thank you so much.
You do not even understand.
You were the first.
I've reached out to plenty of other black journalists,
black influencers,
and people are scared to take this story.
Why did you reach out to me?
You don't think I was black?
Oh, I know you're black.
But we appreciate you.
I am black.
I'm not Dominican.
But thank you.
No, but thank you.
And good luck.
We wish you the best of luck.
And keep us abreast.
Like I said, let us know what's going on.
Because I'm sure, just like the city's doing it to you,
I'm sure the city's doing it to somebody else out there.
And you can be able to guide them of what to do.
And hopefully, you know, you can save your family property,
your generation of wealth.
All right. Thank you.
All right. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Zo.
