15:19
[SPEAKER_06]: You know the one thing about your mom that I found out is that you guys are from Haiti and she didn't have no ID.
15:25
[SPEAKER_06]: So how does that work because I know you got a special love for immigrants and people who are going through so much craziness right now in this country I was in life for you having a mother who's from Haiti living in the United States.
15:38
[SPEAKER_06]: She doesn't have an ID, but now you have to go through all of this treatment with her.
15:42
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, it was horrible.
15:43
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm gonna tell you the most hurtful part about my mother being undocumented.
15:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Was hearing the mean things that I hear people say about Hispanics and undocumented immigrants here because you guys, some of this here, really, just trying to make a living.
15:57
[SPEAKER_05]: My mother just wanted to live in survivors.
15:58
[SPEAKER_05]: See, my mother was arrested when I was like in the fourth grade when I was little.
16:03
[SPEAKER_05]: She didn't get out to my 12-grade year.
16:04
[SPEAKER_05]: So, majority of my adolescent years, my mother was in prison.
16:09
[SPEAKER_05]: And so when my mother was incarcerated, what she got out, she was deported back to Haiti.
16:15
[SPEAKER_05]: So when I started back doing here, I bought my mother's snuck my mother back until the United States.
16:20
[SPEAKER_05]: So the whole time my mom was here, she had no paperwork and like most undocumented immigrants they have to do.
16:27
[SPEAKER_05]: different odd jobs like cleaning under the table for money.
16:31
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I would get my mom kids any of my clients that needed a babysitter.
16:35
[SPEAKER_05]: My mother was the babysitter, my mother would go clean and wash clothes for my clients.
16:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Anything to just make a money because she didn't want to be a burden to me.
16:43
[SPEAKER_05]: So once my mother was diagnosed with cancer and she didn't have an idea.
16:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Of course, you know, she wasn't treated the best.
16:49
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't feel like she got the treatment.
16:50
[SPEAKER_05]: She deserved because she didn't have insurance.
16:53
[SPEAKER_05]: You get what I'm saying and we was living under this alias all the way up until the day she passed away and that my mama's funeral.
17:06
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought your mama birthday was in March.
17:08
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, it's October the first.
17:10
[SPEAKER_05]: Just never mind.
17:11
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll talk about all the lines later, but we covered up so much throughout the years, just so that she could have a peaceful, and normal life here in the United States.
17:21
[SPEAKER_06]: So when you see what's happening with our brown brothers and sisters and so many other people, I know you have a different heart for it.
17:28
[SPEAKER_06]: What part does America not know about undocumented immigrants?
17:32
[SPEAKER_05]: all of them aren't criminals, you got a lot of them that are really here just wanting a better life, you know, hey, he's a third world country, no running water, electricity come on when they want to, so the fact that they get to come here, they get to work, they get to excel, every immigrant isn't here to kill and and drop driving and
17:51
[SPEAKER_05]: and hit and run, it's, that's not true.
17:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Some people that's really coming out here laying brick by brick, buying streets, boulevards, coming together, networking, 10 of them in a apartment, living together so that they could branch off and have a life.
18:05
[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody that comes here from out the country isn't a bad person.
18:09
[SPEAKER_05]: And it really hurts me to know that some of the people that sit around me, some of them that don't even know I'm Haitian,
18:14
[SPEAKER_05]: They'd be saying some wow stuff, but you know what is noted.
18:17
[SPEAKER_05]: I get it, I see how you feel.
18:19
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, maybe they had a negative encounter, but my people, my patients, man, I'm saying some hard work of people, they come up here to work, build, and send all their money back home.
18:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
18:30
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't even keep it for themselves.
18:31
[SPEAKER_05]: They're sending everything.
18:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Yo, little, two, little shoes.
18:34
[SPEAKER_05]: Yo, whatever you got too small, they're sending it back to the country to make sure that they people okay.
18:38
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's so good.
18:40
[SPEAKER_06]: So going through all of that, I know you've been married in that for 12 years.
18:44
[SPEAKER_06]: You have four children, two dogs and a couple of turtles.
18:48
[SPEAKER_06]: One just went on a little bit.
18:49
[SPEAKER_05]: She'll recover.
18:49
[SPEAKER_05]: God bless us all.
18:50
[SPEAKER_05]: My turtle Cherica died this morning.
18:52
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
18:52
[SPEAKER_05]: Good word to hell.
18:53
[SPEAKER_05]: You get a turtle from Cherica.
18:55
[SPEAKER_05]: She walked into my driveway one day and I took her.
18:58
[SPEAKER_05]: Had Cherica for months.
18:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I let Cherica out in the backyard.
19:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Cherica was gone.
19:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Cherica came back, I was driving the other day, I found Cherica on the side of the road, flipped over on a shell, I took her, but that shell was cracked.
19:09
[SPEAKER_05]: So we had an appointment tomorrow morning to take her to the vet, but my husband called me today, I said, Cherica gone, Cherica gone.
19:16
[SPEAKER_06]: Now what kind of her has been this my question?
19:18
[SPEAKER_06]: What kind of her has been?
19:19
[SPEAKER_06]: Doesn't the touch of the hair, because you are like full of light.
19:22
[SPEAKER_06]: It's usually like, you know, I worked for George Myers ministries when I was in St. Louis, kind of the youth stuff.
19:31
[SPEAKER_06]: and Dave, he was so calm and cool.
19:35
[SPEAKER_06]: How would you say your husband is?
19:37
[SPEAKER_05]: He laid back, he pretty laid back.
19:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me do whatever I want to do.
19:41
[SPEAKER_05]: Whatever decision, whatever idea, just like the turtle I bought home, I took care of a little bit, but he got to take care.
19:46
[SPEAKER_05]: Just like the dog, so he got to feed him.
19:48
[SPEAKER_05]: What he always like, he's always bringing home a project, but he sees the bigger picture and he believes in me.
19:54
[SPEAKER_05]: So whatever foolishness I come home with,
19:57
[SPEAKER_05]: I could tell him hold a camera in the corner and record this content.
20:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Whatever.
20:02
[SPEAKER_05]: You got to have that because I'm on t and he can't be on t and with me.
20:05
[SPEAKER_05]: You got to be on negative zero.
20:08
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's off to be on t. So now until you have teenagers tell me a little bit about this.
20:14
[UNKNOWN]: I do.
20:14
[SPEAKER_05]: The oldest one is an afreshman North Carolina A&T.
20:18

20:20
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I thought you was gay.

[SPEAKER_06]: My accountant, my accountant, you're not thwarting.
20:26
[SPEAKER_05]: She's on the board, Aggie pride.
20:28
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep, I'm Aggie as well too.
20:30
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you too?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yep, and then I have a junior, and then I have a freshman, and then I have a seventh grader.
20:37
[SPEAKER_05]: So, seventh, ninth, 11th, freshman in college.

[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody, two years a boy, we pump, pump, and then pump it.
20:43
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I was pumped in the pump and you was pumped in the next few months.
20:47
[SPEAKER_06]: I bought myself though, but my, my, we, I feel real age B.C.
20:52
[SPEAKER_06]: You wish when you talk to me.
20:53
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
20:54
[SPEAKER_06]: But I went to the widest PWI in America.
20:56
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to know what I mean.

[SPEAKER_05]: Still a brother.
20:58
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
20:58
[SPEAKER_05]: What was it doing over there?
20:59
[SPEAKER_05]: How was it?
21:00
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a great experience.
21:02
[SPEAKER_06]: I had a track scholarship.
21:03
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I wouldn't know if it was for free.
21:05
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, come on But free ain't free.

21:08
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, it's rice now.
21:09
[SPEAKER_05]: But I was running up and down the track.
21:11
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, I didn't know.
21:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Right, I don't know.
21:13
[SPEAKER_05]: What got running?
21:14
[SPEAKER_05]: What the sleep running?
21:15
[SPEAKER_06]: I shot.
21:16
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, I didn't know.
21:17
[SPEAKER_06]: So how does how do you all keep that spark in the relationship when you have four teenagers?
21:25
[SPEAKER_05]: Man, sometimes you guys, they bump them kids.
21:28
[SPEAKER_05]: When they say bump them kids, I'm talking about no for real, bump them kids.
21:31
[SPEAKER_05]: We going out, stay cations in the city, from Friday to Sunday, we downtown in Charlotte, get us a room around the corner.
21:38
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, door dashed to kids, make sure they got some food, but just making sure that we make time to feed what we have because we're no good to the kids if we're in good to each other.
21:48
[SPEAKER_06]: Now that's real.
21:48
[SPEAKER_05]: you give what I'm saying.
21:49
[SPEAKER_05]: So we make sure we play a lot of state occasions and now that their teenagers and we can leave them behind, we got somebody to come over and spend the night at the house to check on them.
21:57
[SPEAKER_05]: But they're older now so we can move a little bit.
21:59
[SPEAKER_05]: But before my mom was here, so we could go for weeks.
22:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my mom keep the kids.
22:03
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, my mom, my mom, my mom live with me.
22:05
[SPEAKER_05]: So we had in in house day care.
22:07
[SPEAKER_06]: That's plenty.
22:07
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, but not our older, we can move, but we try to keep it kind of close to this in the city in the area to make sure and in case something happened, we get back to them.
22:17
[SPEAKER_06]: So you doing what you doing on social media, you have this beautiful family, family, you doing this legacy, you have this man in your life.
22:27
[SPEAKER_06]: What was your relationship like with your father?
22:29
[SPEAKER_06]: Did you ever get an opportunity to meet him?
22:31
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, what is his humor come from?
22:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, my father raised me.
22:33
[SPEAKER_05]: My mother was in prison.
22:35
[SPEAKER_05]: So we was my mother and father broke up.
22:38
[SPEAKER_05]: My mother left with the prison.
22:39
[SPEAKER_05]: And then I stayed with my father all the way up and said, my father got applauded.
22:44
[SPEAKER_05]: My junior year, my junior year, North Carolina,
22:47
[SPEAKER_05]: That's Haitian Haitian, yeah, yeah, I'm Haitian, I'm yeah, I'm Haitian, Palacriol, I'm talking about that's my first language, Creole.
22:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I learned English at school.
22:56
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not unfamiliar.
22:57
[SPEAKER_05]: Marisa.
22:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Mama, mama, mama, mama, Marisa, Marisa, Marisa, bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye.
23:06
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, before I am, I am Haitian, fully Haitian.
23:10
[SPEAKER_05]: And once my father got deported from Haiti, I mean deported from the United States back to Haiti.
23:15
[SPEAKER_05]: I went on ahead and just dropped out of A&T.
23:17
[SPEAKER_05]: I was like, man, I'm gonna go do some hair.
23:19
[SPEAKER_05]: Because I really honestly didn't wanna go to college, but you know, the one thing about being Haitian, you either find to be a nurse, a lawyer, a doctor, you better be something successful.
23:29
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I had no choice, cause I wanna be a half-style, it's even like,
23:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, stiles don't make no money, ain't if it'd be no hands stiles.
23:35
[SPEAKER_05]: As soon as they ship to my baby, I was gone.
23:38
[SPEAKER_05]: I was out of the aisle, so you don't want to be started living by life, so I went to high school.
23:42
[SPEAKER_06]: So growing up with a single dad, what did it teach you about loving your husband correctly?
23:47
[SPEAKER_06]: It was tough.
23:49
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't realize being raised by a man with a fake me in my marriage.
23:53
[SPEAKER_05]: My father raised me masculine.
23:57
[SPEAKER_05]: He taught me to be tough.
23:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't act so man for no money.
24:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't you have your own stuff.
24:02
[SPEAKER_05]: You take care of yourself.
24:03
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't let no you don't let no man.
24:04
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, X, Y, Z.
24:06
[SPEAKER_05]: So then when I got married, I'm looking at my husband but I got my own stuff.
24:10
[SPEAKER_05]: And he like, well, what you got me for?
24:12
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I really had to learn how to soften up because I was strong.
24:17
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm talking about tough, and then my father never showed me that because he was a man.
24:21
[SPEAKER_05]: He didn't know how to be feminine or how to be soft.
24:24
[SPEAKER_05]: He just taught me how to make sure I become something, be something, and don't let nobody treat you in a kind of way.
24:29
[SPEAKER_05]: And so when I got married, my husband was like, I'm not the enemy.
24:33
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you ain't got always be guarded up with me.
24:36
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not a competition.
24:37
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not a you make more money to me.
24:39
[SPEAKER_05]: And then who house and ain't no, it's not a that.
24:41
[SPEAKER_05]: We're a team.
24:42
[SPEAKER_05]: We're a couple.
24:43
[SPEAKER_05]: And then I had to learn how to become one.
24:46
[SPEAKER_05]: Drop my guard and be like, you know what?
24:47
[SPEAKER_05]: This man got my back.
24:49
[SPEAKER_05]: Be love me.
24:49
[SPEAKER_05]: We're not in competition.
24:51
[SPEAKER_05]: We're in the covenant with God.
24:53
[SPEAKER_05]: I got to tighten up.
24:54
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I'm saying?
24:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Cause I was, I was Debo.
24:58
[SPEAKER_06]: What was that process like though?
24:59
[SPEAKER_06]: Cause on the other side of this camera, I ain't bothering you, but I'm bothering you a little bit if the shoot fit where, if your feet hurt cause I stepped on you.
25:08
[SPEAKER_06]: My bad.
25:09
[SPEAKER_06]: But.
25:10
[SPEAKER_06]: What is the process of a woman who is raised by a father to get your own, do your thing?
25:18
[SPEAKER_06]: Because that's the culture that we live in here right now.
25:21
[SPEAKER_06]: But I have young boys that I'm teaching how to preach, provide and protect.
25:25
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm giving them a standard of what I believe the right woman is for them, knowing their primary characters.
25:31
[SPEAKER_06]: I know one, he is a strong, driven man.
25:34
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm by your wife probably ain't gonna have a lot of attention.
25:37
[SPEAKER_06]: You might not want that attention woman, you probably don't want somebody who kind of got some going for themselves.
25:42
[SPEAKER_06]: My other one, he's a different personality, but it seems like men who see the beauty they run to the woman who sometimes really, really strong.
25:52
[SPEAKER_06]: So what is the process for a woman to check themselves because I hear this all the time for men, they'd be like, but a woman don't take no accountability.
26:00
[SPEAKER_06]: So what was in life for you to say, I'm gonna take accountability, I'm tough.
26:08
[SPEAKER_05]: I had to look myself in the mirror was argument after argument and the argument was the exact same argument of let me lead you know what I'm saying you can't it can't be too hated a household you know and once I got into my Bible was I got into my word it was like
26:23
[SPEAKER_05]: Let that man lead.
26:24
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, it was the same argument, repeat all the time, the same thing over and over and over.
26:29
[SPEAKER_05]: It was us clashing like this, why?
26:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Because I was wanting to be, I was wanting to run things because that's what I was taught to do.
26:37
[SPEAKER_05]: But then when I realized it was affecting my marriage and I didn't want to be a single mom and I wanted my kids to have a different life for me.
26:44
[SPEAKER_05]: I wanted them to have a mom and dad in the house.
26:46
[SPEAKER_05]: It was like, I had to tighten up.
26:48
[SPEAKER_05]: It was like, if you want this thing close, your mouth.
26:50
[SPEAKER_05]: Close your mouth, and I know a lot of women is like, hey, you know, we live in the day now where, you know, it's a lot of, you know, you know, the type of energy a lot of people, you know, I ain't gonna go there, but my marriage was what was important.
27:06
[SPEAKER_05]: My children was important.
27:07
[SPEAKER_05]: Then living in a two-parent household was important.
27:10
[SPEAKER_05]: And if me closing my mouth is gonna save it, then I'm gonna close my mouth.
27:13
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I'm saying?
27:14
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't get me wrong to be some days.
27:16
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd be why I'd be having like you know, but then again, it's like, I mean, they didn't even work.
27:19
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd rather have peace at the house.
27:21
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, I won't peace.
27:23
[SPEAKER_05]: So I had to really learn how to tone it down.
27:25
[SPEAKER_05]: And still be strong.
27:27
[SPEAKER_05]: Because he loved the strength about me.
27:29
[SPEAKER_05]: But it's just calm down.
27:31
[SPEAKER_05]: I got this like, I remember when we started dating my husband who used to want to open the door for me.
27:35
[SPEAKER_05]: I was like, that's so lame.
27:36
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm opening my own door.
27:38
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't really my door.
27:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, what is you doing?
27:41
[SPEAKER_05]: I got this.
27:41
[SPEAKER_05]: And he's like calm down.
27:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
27:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Put the safety lock on the door, say, oh, like chill.
27:48
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me, and I never seen it before.
27:51
[SPEAKER_05]: And then after a while, now I's like, I work part time.
27:54
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm up, you pay the bills.
27:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And I got to be a lady lady.
27:56
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, that's real good.
27:58
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm in my soft girl feminine there.
28:00
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to be tough.
28:02
[SPEAKER_05]: I like it over here better.
28:04
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, all that stuff is just sees, I mean, I like it over here, but not to each at all.
28:08
[SPEAKER_05]: You got some people who want to run the show, but me, I like to see it back and be catered to a little bit.
28:12
[SPEAKER_05]: Not at so cool.
28:13
[SPEAKER_06]: Cool.
28:14
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you know, I was with my daughter.
28:15
[SPEAKER_06]: She's six years old and I was running a little late outside the car and I teach my daughter.
28:22
[SPEAKER_06]: that if there's a man present you don't touch no door.
28:25
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right.
28:26
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'm outside.
28:27
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm inside.
28:28
[SPEAKER_06]: She's outside getting ready to go to school.
28:29
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, oh, I gotta get my coffee.
28:31
[SPEAKER_06]: I go back outside.
28:33
[SPEAKER_06]: Gotta be full five minutes.
28:34
[SPEAKER_06]: It was chilly outside.
28:35
[SPEAKER_06]: She was right next to the door.
28:36
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I said, baby, you okay?
28:38
[SPEAKER_06]: She was like, yes, I don't open during
28:40
[SPEAKER_06]: Me and her friends said, I was like, President, why you ain't get that door for that baby.
28:45
[SPEAKER_06]: He was like, she says she was waiting on you.
28:47
[SPEAKER_06]: And so just attempting to give her just kind of understanding as a man, a single father who's teaching a little daughter like, hey, you know, I know you got all her brothers, because she can be tough.
29:00
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I don't see, you know, what the little babies, what my brothers and I'm just like, baby, I really want you to know the role of a man
29:09
[SPEAKER_06]: Hold on, page Lee, I got it and they're kind of teaching her to do it because I can very much see, you know, hard growing up with all these guys, even I don't get a guy to be that way and just say, hey, no, I can handle it from here.
29:23
[SPEAKER_06]: I do want to ask you this, when you're going through such a tough time.
29:28
[SPEAKER_06]: and you're such a strong woman.
29:30
[SPEAKER_06]: What is the best way for a man to support a woman when she's going through something so tough like death or a job like whatever it may be?
29:38
[SPEAKER_06]: Like what's the best way to support a strong woman?
29:41
[SPEAKER_06]: Because it might not be flowers.
29:42
[SPEAKER_06]: You've got, I don't know, flowers it.
29:44
[SPEAKER_06]: Like how do you support a strong woman?
29:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Just to listen.
29:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Listen.
29:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Listen because we already in a world where everybody is saying, I made it a video the other day where people think they helping by saying, your mama wouldn't want you to be, your mama wouldn't, don't nobody want to hit that.
29:58
[SPEAKER_05]: I hit it all day, everybody be strong, your mama will be proud of you.
30:02
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to hear that.
30:04
[SPEAKER_05]: So when I get home, if I'm crying and I'm screaming in my pillow, let me scream, if I'm veting, let me talk, just sit back and let me be.
30:14
[SPEAKER_05]: You give what I'm saying, cause I already got to put on when I'm in the world.
30:17
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I'm saying?
30:18
[SPEAKER_05]: I can't be out there at the job at the salon crying.
30:21
[SPEAKER_05]: So if I'm here and I'm crying, just sit and let me cry.
30:24
[SPEAKER_05]: Just let me lay on your shoulder.
30:26
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me lay on your lap and let me cry.
30:28
[SPEAKER_05]: And he does that.
30:29
[SPEAKER_05]: And sometimes he'll let me lay it.
30:31
[SPEAKER_05]: He'll tell me to drop my weight and I just drop my shoulders and I put all my body weight on him.
30:36
[SPEAKER_05]: And he'll just hold me.
30:37
[SPEAKER_05]: He'll just let me collapse.
30:39
[SPEAKER_05]: You give what I'm saying because I got to put an arm on every day when I go outside.
30:42
[SPEAKER_05]: But at home, I get to feel safe or feel protected.
30:45
[SPEAKER_05]: I just need to be heard.
30:46
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's okay to not be okay at the house.
30:49
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't force me to be strong at the house when I got to put on outside.
30:53
[SPEAKER_06]: So how do you pull a funny out of Mr. Sorrow?
30:58
[SPEAKER_05]: Man, because sometimes when I shoot my content, I'll be laughing at those.
31:02
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll be laughing at the foolishness myself.
31:04
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't know what I'm saying.
31:05
[SPEAKER_05]: Like if I think of something funny and I acted out, it made me laugh.
31:08
[SPEAKER_05]: If I can't laugh at my content, I ain't gonna post it.
31:11
[SPEAKER_05]: So I just think of funny stuff that made me laugh because I got to laugh to keep from crying.
31:16
[SPEAKER_05]: My mama gone.
31:17
[SPEAKER_05]: My mama, my mama is gone.
31:21
[SPEAKER_05]: So, I ain't got no choice, but the key key.
31:25
[SPEAKER_05]: You get what I'm saying?
31:26
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't have a choice because if not, I'm a foe.
31:29
[SPEAKER_05]: And my kids are watching me every single day.
31:34
[SPEAKER_05]: So my thing is to make sure that.
31:37
[SPEAKER_05]: I laugh, I find joy and everything.
31:40
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't care if I got fired today.
31:43
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna find some sort of joy.
31:45
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, you know what, but I was there for 24 hours.
31:47
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't walk me out of the shop.
31:48
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what, I'm gonna find something funny because if not, I'm a fold.
31:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Because before when it first happened, it was a why me, why me.
31:57
[SPEAKER_05]: Every time something happened, I would cry.
31:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Then when I would cry about that problem, I would think about my mom and not nothing's going right.
32:03
[SPEAKER_05]: But now I really try to focus on what's going right, Shay.
32:07
[SPEAKER_05]: your kids are healthy.
32:08
[SPEAKER_05]: You got a home, you got a car, like you're loved.
32:12
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, I have to think of those things to come out of that dark place, my girl, you, you good, you're going to be okay.
32:19
[SPEAKER_05]: You might not feel okay, but you're going to be okay.
32:22
[SPEAKER_05]: So I always try to pull out of my content, some type of joy, some sort of something funny, because once I get that DM or the comments, I read the comments and
32:31
[SPEAKER_05]: And people are laughing, I'm like, boom, I got it.
32:34
[SPEAKER_05]: We good, and it heals me a little bit.
32:37
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, not fully, I still need therapy.
32:40
[SPEAKER_05]: But, you know, I believe in you and my therapy.
32:43
[SPEAKER_05]: But, it just makes me feel good to know that you know what?
32:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Not only am I hurting, but it's people around me that's hurting too.
32:51
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm able to put a smile on their face.
32:53
[SPEAKER_05]: And that alone brings me joy.
32:54
[SPEAKER_06]: Man, listen, I just love it.
32:57
[SPEAKER_06]: I do gotta tell you this though.
32:59
[SPEAKER_06]: Man, this next season going to the real unique for you.
33:04
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe it.
33:06
[SPEAKER_06]: And like sometimes in order for God to prepare you to this next amazing level, like some things have to be moved away.
33:14
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I think God has already kind of told you and showed you some of the things that you may have to say, I'm coming back to this.
33:23
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
33:24
[SPEAKER_06]: Like I think you dive in into this desire for acting and all of that stuff, I think I will do it.
33:32
[SPEAKER_06]: I see a change of address for you.
33:34
[SPEAKER_06]: There will be a new city for you that you will have to make a two.
33:39
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think you guys have toyed around with the idea.
33:43
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just a children.
33:44
[SPEAKER_06]: They have good schools.
33:45
[SPEAKER_06]: And you set all that up in this all structure.
33:48
[SPEAKER_06]: And there may be a season where you have to, you have to transit back and forth.
33:52
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes you have to visit the promised land, pray in the promised land and figure that thing out.
33:56
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, I see an agent for you.
33:58
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, it's a strong African American woman who will lead you to the next place.
34:03
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you'll start with her and then, and then I see kind of, um, different types of people.
34:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, as my daddy would say, Europeans, Europeans will come.
34:13
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, I just think it's going to be really, really good.
34:15
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, my very supportive husband.
34:17
[SPEAKER_06]: I really appreciate that he's, he laughs and support just as much as you do.
34:21
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't understand it all the time, but girls with it and I think that's really, really good.
34:26
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm so grateful that I got an opportunity to just, you know, meet your acquaintances.
34:30
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to ask you this, what do you see for, for Natasha in the next, in the next five years?
34:35
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, acting.
34:36
[SPEAKER_05]: That's cool.
34:37
[SPEAKER_05]: I see myself acting.
34:38
[SPEAKER_05]: I see myself hosting it, a major vets.
34:42
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, I see myself on TV.
34:43
[SPEAKER_05]: We're all going to know who I am.
34:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe that.
34:46
[SPEAKER_05]: I believe that with my soul, my mama told me that and I believe it.
34:50
[SPEAKER_05]: This is just the beginning and I'm so humbled and thankful that you even allowed me to be on the show.
34:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
34:54
[SPEAKER_05]: You could have had anybody but you decided to have me and it's a privilege.
34:58
[SPEAKER_06]: I wouldn't have in no other way.
34:59
[SPEAKER_06]: I appreciate it.
35:00
[SPEAKER_06]: I promise you you have one of the most infectious peers that I've ever seen.
35:03
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, when they had me bring guests a lot of times, just like, okay cool, what's their following or what's their status at this day or another?
35:09
[SPEAKER_06]: Hell, I didn't know how many people was following you, but I was like, this girl got something that she has to give to the world, and I want to be her incubator stage, so she can come back and send me off and praise them all.
35:20
[SPEAKER_06]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
35:35

35:44
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not a person as I had chased and paper.

36:03
[SPEAKER_06]: So to any mother out there right now, just last question, so to any mother out there, because a lot of mothers watch it.
36:08
[SPEAKER_06]: And they feel like man, I don't gave all my dreams away.
36:12
[SPEAKER_06]: I got to take these kids, this school, I got this husband and I don't lose myself.
36:17
[SPEAKER_06]: And I mean, in your case, it's like, man, I even lost my mom in the midst of all of this.
36:20
[SPEAKER_06]: What advice would you give to a woman who still has dreams, goals, and aspiration, but responsibility, sometimes, jades that vision.
36:28
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't care if you got a burn in midnight or always make sure that you make some time to pour into yourself and into your dreams, whether it's after the kids go to sleep or either you get up early in the morning, make sure that you are feeding that gift that's in you.
36:43
[SPEAKER_05]: We all have a natural gift that God has put in us, all of us, you know, we all have a purpose and sometimes when you become a mom,
36:51
[SPEAKER_05]: You get so focused on being the best mom and poor and into your family that you kind of put you on the back burner.
36:57
[SPEAKER_05]: But I challenge any mother at least put one to two hours every day into that thing that they want to be.
37:03
[SPEAKER_05]: Turn on your camera, create content, get in your journal, let it out.
37:08
[SPEAKER_05]: Once you let it out and it's not all stuck in here, you can move forward.
37:11
[SPEAKER_05]: But at least one to two hours a day on you.
37:14
[SPEAKER_05]: The kids are going to be okay.
37:16
[SPEAKER_05]: You've taken good care of them.
37:20
[SPEAKER_05]: Because in the middle, they're going to be gone, didn't what?
37:23
[SPEAKER_05]: Now you're going to be an empty nest, a bunch of resent, you're just going to be mad.
37:27
[SPEAKER_05]: That's like you're going to resent for what?
37:29
[SPEAKER_05]: Still rains your kids, but make sure that you're good at the same time.
37:33
[SPEAKER_05]: You get what I'm saying.
37:34
[SPEAKER_05]: So I challenge anybody to get up and just just a little bit of time each day, just a little bit and shizzle at it slowly.
37:41
[SPEAKER_05]: You're going to get there.
37:42
[SPEAKER_06]: That's so good.
37:43
[SPEAKER_05]: That's good.
37:44
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I saw some love for that.
37:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll get there.
37:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Is your husband Haitian too?
37:48
[SPEAKER_05]: No, he, he, he, he from, he from the country from force.
37:51
[SPEAKER_05]: He didn't know of Carolina.
37:52
[SPEAKER_06]: That man from the stick shouting.
37:53
[SPEAKER_06]: Tell him how the woo!
37:54
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'll play with him.
37:55
[SPEAKER_06]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
38:06
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, in Genesis, I'm reminded of Genesis, and I ain't gonna be too deep because I got a little bit of y'all for you.
38:11
[SPEAKER_06]: You think I'm gonna land with it?
38:12
[SPEAKER_06]: Just like that.
38:14
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a lot tighter than I thought it was, by the way, but I was in the beginning, God created, created, I'm just stuck right and created, right?
38:25
[SPEAKER_06]: In the beginning, God created, and I believe that when you begin to create, it makes you most like God.
38:33
[SPEAKER_06]: you feel more fulfilled because in the beginning God created.
38:36
[SPEAKER_06]: Before you even go into any other thing that has to do with God's scripture, religion, he created.
38:41
[SPEAKER_06]: And so a lot of times you feel most of your fulfillment when you are creating, and the enemy's biggest trick is to boggle you down and make you busy and unproductive so you cannot create.
38:54
[SPEAKER_06]: because creating makes you feel most like God.
38:59
[SPEAKER_06]: So many of you on the other side of this camera, you think it to yourself, man, Willie, but you all understand all the stuff I got to do.
39:04
[SPEAKER_06]: I understand.
39:05
[SPEAKER_06]: But that ain't really working for you right now.
39:07
[SPEAKER_06]: You run around anxiety, depression, feeling crazy and just like overwhelmed.
39:12
[SPEAKER_06]: But if you just take a moment to take a beat, mean you take a breath and take some time to say, you know what, what makes me most like God?
39:19
[SPEAKER_06]: Willy say when I'm creating something, but you're like, well, I'm not really creative.
39:23
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh-huh.
39:23
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes you just create a good meal and people enjoy you and you feel fulfilled.
39:29
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you just create a safe atmosphere for everybody in the house.
39:32
[SPEAKER_06]: You ain't been able to do it in a long time.
39:34
[SPEAKER_06]: Them kids coming in and it's a lot going on.
39:36
[SPEAKER_06]: You really pay attention, but you create a beautiful environment that everybody can nest in peace from it.
39:42
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you say, Willie, I'm gonna think about writing that book every time I get to chapter three, something crazy happened.
39:48
[SPEAKER_06]: Guess what?
39:48
[SPEAKER_06]: It's time to pick up that pin again.
39:50
[SPEAKER_06]: And don't just use AI.
39:51
[SPEAKER_06]: I want them to hear your words.
39:53
[SPEAKER_06]: To those of you who are musicians, and you say, Willie, I don't have a studio.
39:56
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, now, guess what?
39:57
[SPEAKER_06]: You got a phone.
39:58
[SPEAKER_06]: You can get those ideas.
39:59
[SPEAKER_06]: What I'm learning now that, as I said, next to Natasha, is that I didn't know what she was going through when she was creating.
40:08
[SPEAKER_06]: But nothing distracted her from creating.
40:12
[SPEAKER_06]: and from her being most like God created, she landed a seat that a lot of people want to sit in.
40:19
[SPEAKER_06]: And I hand, pick, I'm like, hey, I won't this one.
40:22
[SPEAKER_06]: No producer calling out to all the stuff or no.
40:25
[SPEAKER_06]: She wouldn't know nobody whiteboard, but her creation has put her in rooms that people desire to be in.
40:31
[SPEAKER_06]: And I say that, I don't believe.
40:33
[SPEAKER_06]: My question to you is are you willing to create something by faith, not knowing what room God wants to put it in?
40:40
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, the Bible says that your gift will make room for you, but in order for that room to be created, you have to create it.
40:50
[SPEAKER_06]: Does that make sense to you, yes or yes?
40:51
[SPEAKER_06]: Put a yes in the comment if it does.
40:54
[SPEAKER_06]: You can create this thing, especially during these very unique times, where you spend so much time on social media, you're saying a lot about this global, unique climate that we're living in, and everything is pulling away for your creativity.
41:05
[SPEAKER_06]: I dare you to do what Natasha said.
41:08
[SPEAKER_06]: Every day, get you 60 minutes to 120 minutes and spend it being creative.
41:13
[SPEAKER_06]: Watch what God does for you and your gift in a miss of the world's family.
41:20
[SPEAKER_06]: He's going to span your territory.
41:21
[SPEAKER_06]: He's going to take you places that people will literally, without you saying anything, only God could have did that.
41:28
[SPEAKER_06]: And if I got about 10 people in the comments right now, if you can say, only God could have done that.
41:34
[SPEAKER_06]: If you can put God in the comments, I believe that I'm speaking directly to people that God is about to expand.
41:39
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not doing things to just make your ears it to feel good and your shanana.
41:43
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm telling you what I know.
41:45
[SPEAKER_06]: I started right in front of a flip cam when they were four clothes in all my house.
41:51
[SPEAKER_06]: And I seen a bit camera like this although I was looking at a little bit of flip cam sitting on the boxes where they were kicking me out my house.
41:58
[SPEAKER_06]: And everybody thought I was crazy.
42:01
[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody thought I was nuts.
42:03
[SPEAKER_06]: You can four clothes down and you got a baby and you got a wife and you make a video.
42:09
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm fault for my creativity.
42:11
[SPEAKER_06]: Because I knew that I was most like God when I was being created.
42:17
[SPEAKER_06]: I am challenging you, create, create, create, create, and don't forget to love yourself more.
42:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Love you more, love you more, love you more, love you more, love you more.
