He kept asking me over and over,

where did you get to a cyber phone, dog?

I'm like, what do you tell me all the time?

Because sometimes I used to ask him,

where he got to cyber phone?

He said, dude, you got to dig in the crate and find it.

I'm not getting him the same way.

I'm Shannon Casey.

Every February, two important things happen.

It's Black History Month, which is an opportunity to celebrate the lives and accomplishments of Black American culture,

all the beautiful, noteworthy achievements,

despite all the challenges in America.
