When I told The Comeback Group that I'm out, I meant I'm out.
I've already moved forward having conversations
with Kim and Larry on how we can still make this thing
happen for North Huntsville.
But you know, hey, I respect Kimmi. so I'm going to come
and hear her out.
Where's Marty?
MELODY: He's prepping for surgery on his Achilles.
Really? Is it bad?
He'll be down for a while. That's the only thing.
How long?
Well, he can't put pressure on it for three weeks.
And then the total--
I think he can put a shoe on in six
weeks or eight, one of those.
If there's something we can do, you know, let us know.
Oh, thank you.
We want him to recuperate quickly.
Mm-hmm.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
On the other hand--
Mm-hmm?
--I was able to kind of get out yesterday and drive around,
look at some new construction.
I had a long sit-down with my broker.
And we were talking about the different upcoming
things in Huntsville.
Mm-hmm?
Huntsville is about to blow up off the map.
Obviously, that makes me think about us.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Thinking about us made me think about you.
Awh.
OK, Kimmi.
[LAUGHTER]
And the reason being-- honestly,
the reason is both times you've taken
a true lead in this initiative.
We appreciate you wanting to bring us in the second time.
Don't we?
Yes, we do.
Of course.
[LAUGHTER]
But all jokes aside--
really, I'm just playing.
- You're so silly. - I'm playing.
But we do.
I wanted to meet here because I wanted us to look
around at what we started.
Right.
And finish it together.
Every single one of us involved in this initiative
have come from a North Huntsville.
From inner-city Baltimore is where I grew up.
When you're 12 and 13, and everybody's
living the same life that you live,
you don't realize that is not your best
life until you grow up, you move away, and you look back.
I have the ability to be living my best life.
Everybody should be able to live their best life.
I want your spirit back.
OK.
You got to be with me.
And you got to be with me, T. She was all the way out.
You were 50% out when we were voting.
Right.
It's something that's going to be done, whether we do it
or not.
And I would rather us be on the boat
doing it as opposed to watching somebody else do it.
- Live out our dreams. - Right.
And not have everybody else be displaced--
KIMMI: Exactly.
--because of they come in with new homes.
All of a sudden, everybody else gets dispersed.
The same thing they did downtown--
the same thing they're doing across
the nation in Negroville, USA--
moving the old ones out, and moving the new ones in.
This needs to be us on the front end
and not on the back watching everybody else.
- Right. - I agree, Kimmie.
- I'm down. - I totally agree.
I'm with you.
Mel, what do you think about it so far?
Well, first, I can only speak for me.
You know, I'm Melody Holt. I am down
for being a part of the initiative
and The Comeback Groups' overall big picture initiative.
I just definitely feel like I want
us to stay in our own lanes.
I don't want all of us trying to build homes, you know?
Let me handle that part--
credit repair, real estate, real estate,
building, and all of that--
you know, like everybody just stay in their lanes.
I mean, it's just a matter, I think,
of us where we are still able to work together but not
have to work as much together.
Then the friendship is not also--
- I would - Agree.
--tackled as well because we're working
too much together.
Right.
And that's whether it's three couples doing this
or whether it's two couples and two individuals.
You know, with Martell and I, things are up, down, up, down.
I'm really into a place where I'm just moving myself
back a little bit from Holt and Holt,
because I don't really know what the future is going to hold.
