From Dallas to DC – A Native American Carrying a Cross With a Message of Hope and Love

➡ Lisa Schermerhorn and Barry Fisher met Julian Omar, a man on a spiritual journey, walking with a cross from Texas to Washington, D.C. for God and love. Julian’s journey began with three questions: who am I, what is my purpose, and who is God? He believes that asking these questions can help people connect with their divine spirit. Julian, who is from the Kickapoo tribe, also discussed the importance of understanding one’s heritage and the impact of societal issues like drug and alcohol abuse on communities.
➡ The speaker discusses their journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of taking action and believing in oneself. They highlight the challenges faced by their tribe, including the distractions of materialism and substance abuse, and the need for unity and strength. The speaker also shares their personal struggle with drugs and alcohol, and how they overcame it by focusing on positive influences and self-love. They stress the importance of unity and love in overcoming societal divisions and personal challenges.
➡ The speaker appreciates the powerful message of love and peace carried by a person who walks long distances with a cross. This person, carrying about 100 pounds of essentials, has walked a thousand miles, meeting people and sharing his journey on social media. He encourages others to let go of guilt, shame, and fear, and to live freely and courageously. Along his journey, he has received help and kindness from strangers, reinforcing his belief in the abundance and goodness of humanity.
➡ The speaker discovered their Apache and Kickapoo heritage, which was previously unknown due to family disconnection and trauma. They grew up confused about their identity, often mistaken as Mexican due to their father’s Kickapoo lineage near the Mexican border. They learned to cope with their past and find peace through gratitude, kindness, and community. They now aim to spread love and unity, regardless of one’s background or trauma, and celebrate their newfound identity by walking the Trail of Tears with purpose and freedom.
➡ Julian, the creator of the TikTok channel ‘Believe Julian’, shares his journey of self-belief and authenticity. He encourages others to overcome their challenges, love themselves, and be true to who they are. Julian’s channel has gone viral, resonating with many people, and he plans to continue his journey, possibly with the help of a van for faster travel. He also welcomes donations via his cash app, ‘Believe Julian’, to support his journey.

Hi, Lisa Schermerhorn here, and you’re my show where truth lies. And Barry Fisher, as a dear friend and fellow. Fellow. I don’t know. We were just down at Sasha Stone’s event down at. In Tennessee, and we met this beautiful soul, Julian Omar. And we want to tell you a little story and talk about his journey because he’s quite incredible. And it all started in a coffee shop in the middle of Rogersville, Tennessee. So Barry. Barry was the one I. I spoke, spotted Julian and I, and I said, I noticed you. And then I went to the car and was with a friend, Christine, waiting for Barry to come out with her coffee.

And she showed up with you. Yeah. So thank God. I know. So, Barry, talk to me about what happened. Sure. Well, Lisa and I, like, she said we were in the coffee shop and then I had to go back in to pick up something else, my coffee. And I was in there and we had noticed Julian, you know, I mean, take a look at him. Right. So, you know, we were looking at him, and then I was at the coffee shop getting my coffee, and I turned around and Julian was right there, and I. We kind of smiled at each other.

And then he said, hey, I really like your boots. I have some very groovy boots. And I actually almost lost one. And then I had a bracelet on. And he liked that and said, hey, I like your style. And I said, so what’s up with you? Like, what are you doing? Because, you know, a super kind soul, and I want to know more about him. And he said, I am walking with a cross from Texas to Washington, D.C. for God and for love. And it was just like, oh, my gosh. We are at Sasha Stone’s New Earth, Tennessee.

And in Tennessee. And oh, my gosh. And I said, hey, can you wait for me in the other room? Because I didn’t want him to leave. He waited in the other room. I went up to him, I think, gave him a big hug, and I said, this is something that you might need to hear about. And so I told him about what we were doing and we walked outside and I had Lisa and Christine talk to him. And then I. I was just like, hey, what do you think? Let’s do this. And I said. And he said, yep, let’s go.

We both got in the car and we were in the back seat and Lisa and Christine were going. And oh, my gosh. And everything that he said on the car ride, I just said, we are all about to change our lives here, and we needed you on this journey. And I’m so grateful, so grateful that you came along because you brightened everybody’s light there. And as you will continue, so please. Thank you. Yes, we love you. I’d love for people to know a little bit about you and your journey because, I mean, this was a no small feat.

I mean, you come from a different life. Yeah. Do this walk. So you’ve been walking from Dallas, so. Yeah, I want. I’d love everyone to hear your mission and what this is all about. You know, this is about just walking in the truth and the truth that set me, the truth that I came to being. It all started with three main questions, is who am I as a human being? Right. What is my purpose here on this earth? Is the second question. And the third one is a question that has been asked since, I want to say, as far along as you can think.

But it’s the question that says, who is God? What is God? You know, these are very important questions that if, if you don’t. If you don’t ask these types of questions in your life, then you could go and live your whole life being disconnected from the divine spirit that we all have within us. It’s the spirit without limits. They talk about it in almost any religion. It’s in all. All different types of philosophy. It’s very, very. It’s. It’s. It’s wide and spread out. But few that are chosen to, you know, ask these questions really, you know, take that action behind the faith to find the truth out.

Right. And so with that being said, you know, these. These questions had me. Had brought me to know a lot about, you know, energy, a lot about, you know, the opposites, the polarities of the universe, different laws and different, you know, books and scriptures where. When I started studying, you know, the Bibles, I didn’t. I didn’t go to a church, you know, and I didn’t find God through, you know, going to a church. I knew about churches. I’ve gone inside of churches, but I really wanted to find out how I can build a relationship with God, to know God more on an intimate level and to have a walk with God.

And these are the things that ultimately led up to me walking with the cross from Dallas. You know, I. I would have started it wherever I was from. I was just there. And I seen, you know, the. The part of fear. The fear, you know, that. That had been around me my whole life, that is, around a lot of people’s lives that keep them or prevent them from. From thinking that they could do such things as not Only like this. But anything, it could grasp them from anything. Lisa, I mean, of, of you allowed fear to hold you back.

I mean, you wouldn’t have been a best selling author, you know, you wouldn’t have, you know, I could talk to Barry. Barry. If you didn’t, if you follow the fear, you wouldn’t have been so, you know, just beautiful at the creative art that you do. Creating pictures and gathering moments together and locking them in and sharing such beautiful things. So I look at this as my book writing or as my photography taking is my action taking behind what I believe that, you know, what, we all have a strong spirit inside of us and it’s the way we express it, you know, the way we find the truth within ourselves is to understand what we’re dealing with.

And we deal with a lot of created creations out here that are good and bad. Just like we have to make decisions every day, you know, we have to really decipher and see what is feeding my spirit or what is depriving me from it. Right. Well, you came from something, right? So, so for people to understand you weren’t born with this. You, you went through another. So I’d love for people to have an understanding of where, where you came from, come from your heritage, how your people have been treated and, and what led you down this to really search, search your soul? Of course, yes.

And so this search got from, you know, a lot of disconnected roots down to who, you know, the basic question is who I am as a human being. You know, I, I had to find out where I was from and who, who, who my people are. You know, we, we, we long to be accepted or, you know, felt important with, with our messages or who we are. And you know, my, I, I’m from the Kickapoo tribe in Eagle Pass, Texas, where I hadn’t set foot in there for many, many years, since I was a child because of early trauma dealing with, you know, alcohol and drugs that were put out here for people to use or, you know, and, and it’s such an abundance, it’s such an abundance out here, which if you, you know, if you don’t have control over these things, they can really poison your mind.

It could poison communities and it could get, you know, you to not understand that with a lot of these things that, that, that are happening, you have to pull yourself out, you know, and, and the way I found myself to be disconnected from my tribe, which is, you know, with the Kickapoo tribe and all that, I had to go back and do some research, you Know, we’re in the age of AI. We have the a. We’re in the age of information. There’s so much books and things that we could ask to find some truth in our life.

Where. When I started feeling a disattachment is when I started getting closer to. To myself, when I started accepting things that I didn’t understand, instead of beating myself up about it, like, why didn’t I understand this? And, you know, now I had to deal with certain things in life that were happening as far as bad things. Right. Because I made bad choices in the time and that I didn’t understand. So I had to go through seasons of learning. And, you know, one of the things I had to do was take my back to see who we were as people.

People in a tribe, you know, that would get together and go hunt. They would gather five or six of the strongest people in the tribe, and they will go hunt for food, they will go gather things. They would go do whatever it took to make them self feel, you know, like they were blessed. You know, a lot of people in this world today, they don’t see miracles or they don’t see the spirit working through in their life because they’re not applying the things right. They’re waiting for things to come to them. But it’s not really until you take action and you put yourself out there and you believe in these things that you want is where you truly.

So me going back to finding out who I was as a people, you know, and finding out who we were, who we are as people, you know, you have to really dig deep. It’s a deep above the surface level thing. It ties into, you know, different energy. You know, it ties into the quantum. It ties into, you know, spiritual. Everything is interconnected in some way shape or form. Where the animals in our life could be seen as brothers and sisters of this earth. Right, Right. Because we share a part of the land or we share a part of the air.

And so, you know, I had to really, really just do a lot of knowledge digging right where. But I have a question for you because we talked a little bit when I saw you about your tribe and what’s happened to it. Because it’s one thing to live on a reservation, but how much of the wisdom from the elders has actually been passed down versus your life has now become part of. I think you said there’s a whatchamacallit. You have a. Where you have the gambling down there. You have a. Oh, yeah. So there’s a casino. So you all have Your land in the reservation.

But what did they leave you with? What’s happened to your people? Well, a lot of what’s happened to the people is, you know, with these things that have entered and seeped in, which is entertainment. And, you know, alcohol, drugs, a lot of these things will distract you in. In the sense of thinking that material things is more important than spiritual things, right? Or chasing the high of a drug or. Or, you know, the drunkenness of. Of the alcohol will cause more of satisfaction than taking all of that away and depending solely on. On. On God or source or, you know, the Great Spirit to come into your life and move and direct you in things that.

That you could see. You know, it’s all about faith, taking so exactly what’s happening inside of not only the Kickapoo reservation, but. And a lot of reservations as they put these things. And then, you know, the. The poison of the worldly things starts happening, which is comparison, you know, strife towards our neighbors, you know, just not really wanting one another to. To grow and to, like the Bible says, to mount up on the wings of eagles and soar past all these small things that the world has created. So you’re dealing with the world, worldly creations that are created by, you know, of course, human beings.

But some are good and some are bad. And so you got to decipher what is infiltrating the minds of people and why aren’t they coming together and being very strong as people? And you know, what? This is why, you know, not being accepted because of my beliefs and because of, you know, trying to gather these questions together. It’s. It’s kind of. It’s kind of like, you know, to other people that see me doing this, it goes against other people’s limited beliefs. So then it becomes I’m doing the wrong thing because I’m not doing it the way they think of doing it.

Instead of saying, hey, let’s encourage each other to try to get stronger, to get to the root of the problem so that we could, you know, see more prosperous life happening, see God working through, you know, the people and see communities change, surely. So whatever’s happening in the world is also happening in the reservation. So it’s not that much different from being in a big city or a city that is, you know, has accessible things to do wrong. And so, you know, we’re limited on information to be able to understand. And everyone there is just like, you know, religion has set in to a lot of.

A lot of reservations where religion as well, could limit you to the Connection to source. If you’re not able to understand and you want to put yourself in a category that doesn’t let you see love for one another, because, you know, me and a reservation and what I believe in is peace for all nations, this is what this flag carries. Because I. I think besides just, you know, Native Americans or any other person should be coming together and going and understanding together, loving and harmony together. So what was the moment? Because you got wrapped up in a difficult time with drugs and alcohol.

I saw, and it’s on your TikTok account, which I’m going to share with people. What was the moment that finally made you say, I can’t do this anymore? Anymore. What changed you? Oh, okay. What changed me is I started, you know, having inflammation in my body, and my body was reacting to all the unhealthy choices that I was doing with drugs and alcohol and, you know, and not even that alone. I’m talking about what I was feeding my mind, how powerful music can be. You know, if you’re listening to the wrong music that’s talking about depression, anxiety, all these things are going into your mind and it’s rewiring your mind to think depressed, to think anxiety.

And. And, you know, you wake up and your. Your heart is racing or, you know, you keep thinking about moments of the past that hurt you because this music is bringing up past repetitive things. You know, a lot of the people, they have to know what you listen to, what you watch, what you speak. It all comes from a place of. Of what you’re inputting. See, your output is your input. What you input is very important to understand that. You know, what if. If you’re having a hard time to show love to people or to encourage others, it’s probably because you’re not watching enough things that are motivating you to come out here and stay disciplined in love.

You know, a lot of people go search for love and they’re waiting for somebody, you know, oh, that somebody is. I can’t wait to get with this person. Or if I get with this person, it’s going to make me feel happy. But you got to have joy right now. You have to know that love comes from within you, that if no one around you is showing love, that you have it in you to show love, even if no one does it, because wrong is wrong, even if everyone’s doing it and right is right, even if nobody does it.

So it doesn’t matter. We’re holding ourselves to the highest standards, saying, you know what? I have it in me. To come out here and show love to people, you know, by carrying a cross and having a deep message that can bring people together instead of tearing people apart. That is what the world wants. It wants people to go against each other and not come together in harmony. And, you know, these are just. And that’s just fundamental, you know. Right. And you also felt very alone in talking to you, that you didn’t have other people of like mind.

So this, this opportunity to be with all the people. And Barry, I’d love for you to talk to, you know what it was like to see Julian show up and actually come up on stage and see him get up there and speak and see him really open up. Well, it was just, it was just magical because I knew the second that you told me that you. When we were in the restaurant and you said, I’m with the cross for God and for, for humanity and for bringing, bringing love, I just knew that this was. You were right in the right spot and you.

We were all. Because I hadn’t been to Sasha’s New Earth because it had just was the whole thing and, you know, this is one of the years, the second year that they’ve had it and, you know, bringing on the golden ticket owners. And I just knew when you were in the car that something that’s. I even said that this is going to change not only your life, but all of our lives. And then we got there and I saw how everyone was so excited to see you and you gave me that fabulous hat that I believe I don’t have with me.

But it was a quick interview. So anyway, it’s still packed. Yeah. But anyway. And then I just knew in my heart of hearts that you were going to be on that stage and just knew it. Wow. And then I found out on Saturday that you were going to be on the stage and you just lit up the room, you know, Lisa, Michelle and you with, with that time. And it was just so beautiful to see you walk down that aisle with your cross. With the cross, that’s what. And then get up there on the stage. He was so sure and that the message that you gave was very powerful.

And I just know that you’re going to continue to do this and you are very held and very seen and very loved with all of us. And I know you’re taking that to the world and to humanity and I, I really, really am very appreciative of you. So thank you. Because you know what? You’re right. It, you know, religion has nothing to do with it. And the cross itself, I mean, you don’t have to be Christian. It’s not, you know, there are people of all different faiths. It’s the message of love and peace. And the cross is really, you know, to me, representing the burdens that people need to let go and, you know, how many miles.

I mean, you’ve literally. I’d love for you to talk about what it’s been like to walk. I mean, that you have. And just so people know, you’ve got a pack with your, you know, sleeping bag and your tent and your clothes and the. That you’ve got what, about a hundred pounds that you’re carrying? Yeah, I got about £100. We got the cross. And my pack is right here, as you can see, which is a. I want to say a 55 milliliter bag with tent, sleeping bag, and just, you know, just basic essentials. I do have a few books in there, Native American books, Bible and, you know, just things that are gonna make my mind feel refreshed after reading it.

Right. Because it’s very important to, you know, stay grounded and, and, and know that there’s great things out there. You know, this is how I look at it. You know, I’ve traveled already probably a thousand miles walking, and throughout this journey, there’s been so many divine appointments. And this is why I tell people with the most urgency I can that your voice matters, that don’t hold back, that you couldn’t be open and vulnerable to the people that need to see that, that they don’t have to hold things in or hold any fear or shame or guilt because they didn’t know that life is so beautiful when you just release the guilt, the shame, the comparison, anything that you know, I’m telling this to the people because they know as soon as you tell them, hey, you know what you need to do? You know that.

Just go ahead and do it and don’t look back and do it a lot and. And be courage about it. Know that you’re powerful and know that the. The truth sets you free. It really does. And, you know, true freedom and walking in victory is so beautiful. And that is what I’ve gotten through this journey, is that walking in fruit freedom is a beautiful thing because you don’t need to live in fear. You need to have faith. And, you know, you just have to trust that the person that you were crafted to be will get there.

No matter will be like an anticipating child that is waiting for something every day and that will show up. Yeah. So. So who has come along during this thousand mile journey to help you. I mean, you haven’t asked for anything yet. People show up and have helped you. So I’d love for you to share some of your stories on your journey of people you’ve met. So I’m gonna tell you about the people that I, I’ve met through spirit and through just the videos alone. There’s been people that have messaged me and that look forward to videos daily and that are looking and that.

You know what, When I first started my social media, you know, I wasn’t taking it serious because I was like, man, this stuff you got to post every day and you know, you got to be on top of it. And, and since I got one message one time when I did a video, I was at a, I was in a, in a, you know what, I was in a graveyard and I was like, look guys, this is what’s promised to us. This is what the world is saying that, you know, in a hundred years we all laying down in here.

I’m like, but man, when are we gonna really be honest with ourselves and come live? You know, live like, truly live not being afraid of death because death is whispering every day. But you don’t want to die to the spirit. You don’t want to die and feel like you don’t. You, you can’t live or you can’t go out and do the things that you want. So, you know, this journey has been, has brought me people that helped me just by them saying, hey, Julian, I just needed to hear that. I needed to see that. That’s why I say it’s so important for you to get the words that you need to say or uplift people, even if it’s the small things, because I’ve seen these small seeds grow into nourishing plants where along this journey there’s people that are motivating themselves just off of just you sharing and being courageous.

It’s like, wow, what’s the difference between me and this man? There’s no difference. The only difference is that I wanted to do it. And I said, I’m not going to let nothing stop me from knowing the truth, from growing, from loving. But you’ve also had a lot of kindness from strangers along the way. Yes, I’ve had kindness from strangers that have, you know, stopped and they’ve helped me with food. Like I didn’t leave with no food, right? Or, or water or anything. I didn’t even leave with any money. And when I left, people would stop. And you know, I just saw the Abundance that America has.

This is not a place where, you know that you will not think that you cannot thrive when it is rich. It has a lot of. There’s a lot of things out here. And so people, they see you being courageous and they see you on the do, standing up for something good. A lot of people stop and they don’t. They don’t know that they have it in them to do the same thing. But a lot of people, they don’t think that they have the time because they’ve already grown families and they got bills, they. Which is fine.

So they’ll stop and they’ll be like, man, hey, you’re encouraging me and I just want to bless you because of what you’re doing. Like, they just want to help out because it’s something, you know, I’ve had war veterans that have stopped and said, hey, man, if I, you know, if I was fit and I was healthy, I would, I would follow right behind you. Because it’s such a great thing, what you’re doing. And it’s just, you know, it inspires people, you know, and. And I get inspired by meeting people, seeing that there is love out here, people that do want to help others and encourage others to continue going on this travel.

So I’ve met people that have given me food, that have given me money, or even have helped me with hotel rooms when it’s raining, you know, so. And it’s brought me this far and it’s just completely took out any doubt in my mind that, you know what, that I wouldn’t go, you know, that I wouldn’t die out here. No, I wouldn’t start out. And the other thing is, we got a chance to meet your mother. You showed up at. At Sasha’s event. And for people who don’t know Sasha Stone, who’s really incredible, visionary, he’s creating this self center sustaining community in northeast Tennessee.

And this was their ribbon cutting for people who had invested in. In this land and were picking out their plots and had speakers come. And it was an incredible opportunity with music and food and dancing and all kinds of really cool things. And Julian contacted his mom and I think she said she hadn’t seen you since what, February? Yeah, when you started. So she flew in, we got to meet her. What a beautiful soul. And she told me something really impactful. Well, two things, because she said that people were saying, aren’t you afraid for Julian? And she said, you know what? I was more afraid before when he was on his other path, when you were doing things that were very self destructive.

She said, but I know that he’s found his purpose and he’s living it. And I know that God is watching over him because he’s doing God’s work. So I’m not afraid anymore. And that just gave me the chills. And as a mother also, you know, that feeling of when your children are really stepping into their power and really doing what they’re meant to. And I was talking to her also about her heritage, and she was saying how she didn’t know that she was Native American. Everyone kept looking at her and saying, what tribe are you from? And she’s, what are you talking about? And she’s like, no, no, no, what tribe are you from? Because everyone could see her essence in her.

But she never saw it. Yeah. Did some research and said, I found out I’m Apache. Yes. He had been completely disconnected from who she was as well. Definitely she had been. And you know, along this journey, you know, a lot of, you know, what really baffles me is that, you know, the only way I was able to know about the Kickapoo is because my father’s from the Kickapoo. My mom, you know, we found this news out recently that she was from, you know, Apache. And so we’re like, over here, like, wow. So we have more, you know, we’re so confused in life about who we were that I grew up with people thinking I was, I was Mexican, which I do want to say I have portion of Mexican in me because of the, the natives from, from Kickapoo.

They have a lot of Mexican blood in them. It’s right there by the border of Mexico and they even share Kickapoo, you know, natives in Mexico and Piedras Negras and Kawila. So they do have natives down there that have, you know, so I want to say that, you know, growing up, a lot of people just thought I was a part of the Mexican culture because there’s so many of them. Right, right. So many Hispanic people that come to this country for whatever it may be, learning, work, I mean, you name it. My dad would even go migrate up north with the Hispanics to go and make money.

And, you know, that’s how he met my mom up north. And, you know, we, me and my brother were even born in Idaho before we went back to the reservation, back to Eagle Pass, Texas. And, you know, ultimately that’s where my dad, you know, passed away. And it was just family things, what that caused us to leave. And my mom left. And, you know, my mom had been Hurt by, you know, you know, her trauma when she was a child in Idaho, because that’s where her family lives. And so there was a lot of disconnect from family and importance.

And so we did. We grew up not with no religion really, just with whatever we were told. And in my spirit, I knew since I was a child that something was wrong, that, you know, I felt like I wasn’t supposed to be in this places that, you know, I was put. But I had to, you know, it wasn’t until later really taking away all the things and, and, and, you know, trying, trying and just until it worked, until it clicked, you know, I didn’t know what it was doing. The easiest way I could tell anybody if they.

If they’re hurting and they’re finding, you know, with what you’re presented with is enough. Whether it’s just you waking up in the day and wanting to start going out and getting some sun and start giving gratitude out and saying thank you for everything, even your problems, because most of the life’s lessons turn into blessings. And so that is a very big thing is waking up and being grateful. I used to practice being grateful and complimenting people. I used to make it a sole thing to feed the homeless because I wanted to care about others, you know, instead of myself.

So I’m like, how. How can I do this? Well, you know, what a thought. After detoxing and everything, I started going to Walmart and, and. And Kroger’s and just complimenting every single worker that was working it, from the mailman to the UPS man dropping a package. I’ll say, hey, y’ all are doing a great job today. I just wanted you to know. And I did it so much so that it became a part of who I am, you know, so we care about human beings. We. We care about those, you know, and we hang on to those that love us because it’s a beautiful thing.

And you know what? Being there at the Tenasi and with the New Earth event and being. It felt like I was. I found the tribe surely because of how everyone was a. They had the ability to love one another beyond what beliefs are beyond. And that showed me the true love of God, you know, And I was like, wow, so many people coming together with different nations, tongues and beliefs, but everyone wants the same thing. They want peace, they want love, they want happiness. I’m like, this is truly a miracle. And it’s an answered prayer to be there.

No, absolutely. I feel that. And, you know, so many of us have been put in the situation more so with. With the Native American. And even when you talk about the Latinos coming from Mexico, they all have Mayan and Aztec and all of those. They’re all indigenous. Yes, they were all indigenous anyway, and so they were. Oh, there, she’s got your hat on. Let’s go. I love it. So thank you. At the moment, it reminds me of all the love in the moments. Thank you. Yeah. So they’re all indigenous, but there was an intention to make people forget.

I was in Costa Rica with a tribe down near the Panama border, and I was told the story by the grandmother that they were kneeling, forced to kneel on gravel if they spoke their language. Wow. And ours, as a little girl, his grandmother would tell this story how they literally had tortured their. Their background there, who they were to forget. And so this was done to so many people to forget. And what you’ve done is, you know, you inherit. We inherit the trauma. Right. Because this has come down through the lineage. And I don’t care what background you have, whether you’re indigenous or whether whatever your background, even coming into the United States, it.

People don’t just move to a new language, new culture, new country, thousands of miles with just everything on their back just for the heck of it. I mean, maybe a few people do that, but for the most part, these people all experience trauma. And so coming into this country and the beauty of everyone coming together and finding each other, you’re the perfect example of that and how we are leading this message. You are leading this message of getting people to come together. Forget about skin color, forget about your trauma. We are all here to love. Because a lot of people have experienced trauma, are projecting their anger and fear and see the world through a different lens.

It takes a lot of courage and bravery to do the work, to see the world through love. Exactly. No. And you know what? I’ll. And I wanted to share with you this. It’s. I think it’s important for people to know that with this cross and with me finding my identity and finding who I am, we’re able to walk the trail of tears that were walked thousands. I mean, hundreds of years ago, you know. You know, with a lot of, you know, tribes that were being forced to leave their land, you know, we were able to walk with the cross and feel some of the.

That walk right by walking with it with purpose, you know, walking it with freedom and victory. So we don’t hold on to these traumatic things that, you know, we might have endured at one time. So it was just. It was Beautiful to reflect on that because at the moment I didn’t even realize that I was. That that was happening at the time until somebody pointed it out. So. Wow. Well, I know you still have quite a few miles to go from Virginia to D.C. hoping to get there by July 4th. And with your cross, if people want to come and see you, can they connect to you through Tick Tock? Is that the best way and find out to greet you with your cross? Yes, they can.

They could connect to me through Tick Tock or if y’ all are going to be celebrating the 250th anniversary where they’re going to hold the. The world’s largest fireworks show, which I believe I read it was going to be 40 minutes long. You know, we’re going to be there just thinking and, and be giving thanks and just getting together with. You know, there’s some. Actually some. Some family from the, from the New Earth family that said that they will go over there. And I. I don’t know. I might have heard that. You might have. Is it true that you’re gonna come too? I’m thinking.

I’m not. Mary’s thinking about it. We’ll see down there. I gotta get some photos of you guys there. I mean, come on. I mean, honestly, if you were to get some photos there, I know that there would be so beautiful. But it’s really up to you. I mean, the only way I saw it is like it’s. I don’t know what to expect when I get there. But I do know one thing though, that the. The great good energy that holy. The holiness that we carry inside of us and the peace and love will be there. And it’s anywhere we choose to go.

And whether that be Washington D.C. or New York City or California or different countries, you know, everywhere we go, we carry the. The love with us. And we just want to let people know and so that they could start their, you know, the, the other piece to the ripple effect and they could influence and help the other people that. That need so being. You know, when I look at it, I have so much love for people. And there was a time when I wish somebody would have came and showed me these things and encouraged me these things and just, you know, just tell me something.

But you know what? We live in a world nowadays where people, they’re just, you know, caught up in their mind that they can’t really think about others or they don’t really have empathy as much as they should, but just because of the distracting world. So that’s Why I want to just come out here and do this and let people know that, hey, you know, if you’re looking for something or if you’re trying to find some truth or if you’re trying to find some happiness, there’s a way to do it. You know, there. There truly is a way.

Regardless of what anybody’s going through, there’s a word to overcome whatever they feel like is in front of them. And it all starts with just, you know, just loving yourself more and, and just, you know, understanding that, you know, when we were born and when you’re children and then you’re a teenager and then up to you’re an adult, you’re using everything that you learned as a young child and a teenager. And sometimes we have to go and fix programs that were downloaded into our mind. But, yeah, from whatever it is that was going on, you know, so.

But, well, what’s the best way for people. What’s the name of your Tik Tok channel? So my Tik Tok is Believe Julian. And it’s not for you guys to believe me. It’s a. It was a question to myself, believe Julian. It was me telling myself to believe, Believe Julian. So that’s how it started because, you know, a lot of people are like, hey, well, you want us to believe you? I’m like, you can believe what you want. But it was for me to believe myself because what I was sharing, I knew that it was important. And there was a time when, you know, when I didn’t know what this tick tock channel was going to do.

But, you know, we’ve gone viral on Warrior Chance to persevere on last stretches of walking where I was walking uphill and I didn’t know if I was going to get done with it with walking that day. So we started chanting. And by that energy being, you know, I was able to just gather more than just making it to the mark. But other people were able to witness it and it resonated with them because it was through the spirit I was chanting and I was praising through the spirit. I wasn’t letting anything hold me back. And I was being authentic, you know, so when you’re being authentic and true is the.

Is the best way to go about life. Just be the person that you were born to be and show love a lot. Wish well upon others, and you know what? You will see the world around you change. Well, Julian, I want to thank you. I don’t want to hold you up too much longer. Barry, do you have anything you want to Say before, I’d like to share a couple of the moments with all of us. And I have a few photos. I’m gonna put them in at the end. I’m gonna add them. Do you have a lot of these? No, I don’t.

Oh, wow. I was like, wait, can I show one of you and your mom? Yeah, of course. This is Julian’s beautiful mom. Yeah. And she showed up. I mean, how beautiful was that? Oh, that was amazing. That was a true miracle itself. And people, everyone got to witness it. Yeah. And then the last one, I. Can I just show this one? Yeah, of course. Look at this. Amazing. Oh, wow, the clouds. Yeah.

Well, if you need anybody who has a car that can drive you some, I might be in D.C. you never know. You never know. I mean, honestly, I plan to. To, you know, do a few different journeys because, you know, I do have my brother and sisters that I like to show. I know one. You know, I know I will be blessed with the van to be able to travel a lot faster, you know, to different events, or, you know, to be able to truly see life.

I mean, walking is a whole nother level. But, you know, my actual plans for the future would be able to show up to as many events and places with people to encourage them and also walk different places with the cross, even with the van, and being able to be used to, you know, for different reasons. Right. Besides shelter and stuff. But, I mean, all I could say is the best is yet to come.

To get you any funds? You know what, whenever we talk about funds and stuff, I always tell people, you know what, if you’re gonna give, give from the kindness of your heart and be a cheerful giver because you will get returned and fold. You know, it’s just the laws that are put out here. But yes, if people wanted to donate, I do have a cash app, the only thing that I have out here. And my cash app is the same as my tick tock. It’s believe Julian. Okay, I’ll get those links from you and I’ll put them in in there.
