Like what did Sunday look like in the Hunter family?
2:51
In the 70s, I think to me and a lot of people there 55 years old, I think the 70s and the 80s were the best.
3:00
It wasn't no big television in the home.
3:04
It was more we were involved in cleaning and cooking and communicating in the home, going for walks.
3:14
going to the park, going to the zoo.
3:17
We were a family that were active on the inside of the home and also on the outside of the home.
3:26
So in the 70s, we knew everybody on the block.

So take us into that moment and build up to why you wanted to get a degree.
20:13
What was the difference when Dad was gone?
20:16
Well, the difference is that once my father had passed away, we began to struggle, you know, financially.
20:25
We began to struggle financially.
20:27
And my, you know, if it wasn't, it took, I think it took, my mother told us it took about three to six months for her to get the death benefits.
20:37
And so once that kicked in, things began to improve.
20:41
But we had struggle.
20:43
But what really helped us is the community.

Who was that little boy? That little
7:32
boy was an innocent young man.
7:34
Grew up in a house with 20 siblings.
7:38
Came from a great family because my mother, she birthed 21 children by my dad.
7:48
We had some difficult times, and we had some great times.
7:54
Ten boys, 11 girls, 65 grandchildren, and 150 great-grandchildren.
8:03
So I had both of my parents in the home.

Ms. KimHOST
17:51
so when did women first become a source of validation for you
9:00
So what are you doing with that?
9:02
So with my LLC, I started my own podcast sports show with my granddaughter, my seven-year-old granddaughter.
9:11
So since the NFL is over, now we're getting ready to transition into college basketball and get prepared for that so we can go on the road and cover the Final Four for March of 2026.
9:25
So we enjoy going to different places.
9:28
sporting events and also talking about the NFL and making our predictions on who's going to win the game and who's going to lose the game.
9:37
So it's, it's, it's, it's fun because it shows a different side of, of me, not only just being an author, but also loving the game of football, loving the game of basketball and analyzing the game.
9:50
And so, you know, the reason why I do it is because I enjoy, um, I enjoy sports.
