{THE AND} – Johnny Perez & Khalil Cumberbatch

What Life Behind Bars Does To Young Men | {THE AND} Johnny & Khalil (Part 2)

1. Johnny Perez:- Daughter
   • My daughter came to see me
   • She had grown so much taller.
   • I did not even know her
   • She asked me
     • Why are you in here?
   • I said to her because I broke the law
   • She quizzed more
   • I replied
     • Because of white privilege
     • Because I already had a record
   • Her response
     • Why did you not just get a job
     • You should have lived within your means
     • Most vulnerably, you should have thought of me
2. Johnny to Khalil:- What is the pain in me you will like to heal
   • Daughter
     • The pain you have in not being there for your daughter
     • Me assuming there is still some pain there
   • Father
     • You not having a relationship with your Dad
     • Not referring to a relationship with a father figure
