We're all my children at a light who I'm in the synonym but steady striving to do right my people the warriors

All we know is the fight for Prince, they see God and everything got right to you.

Hello Eddie Ryan. Hello there, Angela G. Ryan. Yes, this is a super special edition of On One With Angela Ryan. It is the Father's Day edition. Daddy's in town.

And so I wanted to sit with you. It's been three years since our last interview on On One With Angela Ryan. Three years.

So it was time and on the other side of COVID where mommy could be here and you could be here. It was time.

We have some really great questions from our podcast producer Nas or you that I would never have thought to ask you.

So I'm going to ask you some of these but I have some of my own questions to my first question comes from.

There is a story that we like to tell. We were in an elevator.

I don't know where we were going but a reporter. The King County courthouse.

We're doing at the courthouse. Thank you. We were I was making an in a meeting or making testimony for the county council.

Okay, so we were in an elevator and this white reporter gets on the elevator and says Eddie Ryan, if it isn't the perpetual troublemaker.

Yes, and I said you should hear what others say. He was nice.

Yes, and I was very upset that day. I was very obvious to. I was ready to fight.

Daddy, why do the people call you a troublemaker?

Well, you know anytime you try to initiate change and it goes against the grain of what people perceive to be the norm.

Put aside in the best interest of after the citizenship and the state's enslaved my black people.

I'm going to have something to say about it and if we're being left out short change.

I'm going to speak up about it. If I had to see discrimination against my people.

I want to speak up about that, but I also speak up on behalf of other people color as well.

And you've gotten awards because of your advocacy for other people color.

Yeah, I have a very proud of it too. You should be.

So where did that come from that? Where did the innate desire to speak up for the voiceless to protect those who may not be in a position to advocate for themselves?
