- 0:41Speaker 3: Oh they will.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Now we ask for you to be in person, but
- 0:43Speaker 2: they say, Sister Soldier is in Dubai.
- 0:45Speaker 1: So have you moved to Dubai?
- 0:47Speaker 2: What is in Dubai? Why are you in Dubai? Why
- 0:49Speaker 2: did a girl from the Bronx decide she wanted to
- 0:51Speaker 2: go to Dubai to start writing?
- 0:55Speaker 3: Well, I needed some peace in my life. You know.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Writing takes a highlight level of concentration, and so if
- 1:03Speaker 3: I want to concentrate, I need things to quiet down
- 1:08Speaker 3: and be a little steady. And so I had come
- 1:10Speaker 3: here before, maybe around twenty thirteen, and I said, this
- 1:16Speaker 3: would probably be a good place to have that kind
- 1:20Speaker 3: of peace of mind. So much was going on in
- 1:23Speaker 3: the country, as it still is going on, and so
- 1:27Speaker 3: now at least I can concentrate and focus and feel
- 1:32Speaker 3: safe and healthy, and I can watch what's going on
- 1:37Speaker 3: at home from Afar.
- 1:39Speaker 1: You know, peace, How are you? I just walked back.
- 1:44Speaker 4: I'm blessed black and Holly favor. But I don't blame
- 1:45Speaker 4: you for getting out of here.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I really At the time that I left,
- 1:53Speaker 3: I you know, I was really thinking about it quite clearly,
- 1:56Speaker 3: like could I, you know, move from where I'm rooted.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Can I leave all of my cards and house and
- 2:04Speaker 3: everything and go somewhere else and you know, I don't know,
- 2:08Speaker 3: maybe end up in a little rent a car or something.
- 2:11Speaker 3: But I was like, yep, I can do that, and
- 2:14Speaker 3: I did.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Do you feel a lot of the stuff that you
- 2:17Speaker 2: have talked about and discussed throughout your whole life just
- 2:20Speaker 2: seems like when you go back and look at some
- 2:22Speaker 2: of the things you've talked about, if you've spoken about
- 2:24Speaker 2: the themes, seems like things never change. It's like we're
- 2:27Speaker 2: still having those same conversations, whether it's politics, whether it's
- 2:31Speaker 2: racism in the country, and how do you feel about that.
- 2:35Speaker 3: I think things do change, and I think it's gotten worse.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Actually agree. When I look, you know, at the news,
- 2:47Speaker 3: when I take a break, you know, from my work,
- 2:51Speaker 3: I'm always shocked, like every time, you know, I'm always
- 2:56Speaker 3: shocked at what's going on at home. And the funny
- 2:59Speaker 3: thing as well, it's not really funny, I guess it's ironic.
- 3:02Speaker 3: It's like when I'm working or when I'm with my
- 3:06Speaker 3: family over here, everything is peaceful, and then about six
- 3:11Speaker 3: pm is here is the open of business in America,
- 3:15Speaker 3: And as soon as I hear from my family at home,
- 3:18Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, no, you don't what's next, you know.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Oh that's terrible, that's sad, you know. And I try
- 3:30Speaker 3: to keep my you know, positive outlook, but I just
- 3:36Speaker 3: think that things are not going so well at home.
- 3:40Speaker 2: What do you think makes Dubai so peaceful?
- 3:45Speaker 3: Order Dubai Uae is an Islamic country, and so it
- 3:52Speaker 3: doesn't have as much of the contradiction or the hypocrisy
- 3:58Speaker 3: that we have at home. I think a lot of
- 4:00Speaker 3: people at home get confused because at home we have
- 4:04Speaker 3: the separation of church and state. That's the way our
- 4:08Speaker 3: constitution is set up. That's how our system is set up.
- 4:12Speaker 3: And so morality and certain order and certain civility is
- 4:22Speaker 3: not part of the legal code, whereas here the Qur'an
- 4:28Speaker 3: itself is the law. So you have to follow the
- 4:32Speaker 3: guidance and you have to respect the limits. At home.
- 4:40Speaker 3: I think our our appreciation for freedom uh leads us
- 4:47Speaker 3: or misleads us some time to exceed the limits in
- 4:51Speaker 3: ways that is not healthy.
- 4:55Speaker 1: You know what We're going to talk about a lot
- 4:56Speaker 1: after midnight in one second. But you and the UAE.
- 4:59Speaker 4: Every black woman that I've met that in the UA,
- 5:02Speaker 4: because I love Abu Dhabi, they tell me that they
- 5:04Speaker 4: feel like a white man in America feels in the UAE.
- 5:09Speaker 1: That's how empowered they feel there. Well.
- 5:12Speaker 3: UAE is considered the safest country in the world. You
- 5:18Speaker 3: can walk and not feel any kind of anxiety, whether
- 5:24Speaker 3: it's daytime or whether it's nighttime. The police are actually friendly,
- 5:34Speaker 3: you know, which is mind blowing if you come from
- 5:36Speaker 3: New York City, right and you know, my husband and
- 5:40Speaker 3: I were walking outside one day for exercise doing some cardio,
- 5:45Speaker 3: and a cop car drove by and waved and my
- 5:49Speaker 3: husband was like, he's a Brooklyn cat. He was like,
- 5:52Speaker 3: are they waving at us? Are they trying to tell
- 5:57Speaker 3: us something? You know, what's up? And I said, no,
- 5:59Speaker 3: they just say and high. They're just saying ah, because
- 6:03Speaker 3: that's how it is out here, you know. Uh, it's
- 6:06Speaker 3: not the police versus the people. It's not. You don't
- 6:12Speaker 3: feel like your blackness is a crime or even a
- 6:17Speaker 3: consideration really, you know. So it's a lot of stress removed,
- 6:23Speaker 3: especially if you have children, if you're a parent. If
- 6:26Speaker 3: you are a parent and you worry at home, you
- 6:30Speaker 3: worry all the time. Every time your son walks out
- 6:32Speaker 3: the door, every time your daughter, you know, is outside
- 6:36Speaker 3: of your your eyesight. And here because everybody knows what
- 6:41Speaker 3: the rules are and they have to respect the limits
- 6:46Speaker 3: because the limits are the law.
- 6:48Speaker 1: That's right.
- 6:50Speaker 4: You're here to talk about love After Midnight, which is
- 6:52Speaker 4: the latest installment of the Winter Santiago series. For those
- 6:56Speaker 4: who aren't familiar with the series, how would you describe
- 6:58Speaker 4: what the series is about?
- 7:01Speaker 3: Well, I don't know anybody who's not familiar with the
- 7:07Speaker 3: The Coldest Winterever has survived through generations. It's a book
- 7:12Speaker 3: that every new set of thirteen year old girls and
- 7:18Speaker 3: boys read. It's a book that is so popular in
- 7:22Speaker 3: the prison system, is so popular in all women's gatherings
- 7:28Speaker 3: and even sororities and so on and so forth. So
- 7:31Speaker 3: people who follow this series know the Winter series is
- 7:36Speaker 3: like the coldest winter ever, and then Life After Death
- 7:40Speaker 3: and then Love After Midnight, which is in stores now today.
- 7:46Speaker 3: I also this is the This is my seventh novel,
- 7:49Speaker 3: but this is the first time I ever read the
- 7:53Speaker 3: audio book. So if you buy the book from Audible
- 7:58Speaker 3: or wherever, you're gonna hear my narration of one of
- 8:03Speaker 3: my books, which was a big deal for me because
- 8:06Speaker 3: I never narrated the books before.
- 8:09Speaker 1: How was what it changed since Life After Death?
- 8:12Speaker 3: How has Winter changed? Yeah? I think Winter is so
- 8:17Speaker 3: much like us. In other words, you know how something
- 8:25Speaker 3: spiritual can happen to you, something really big, or you
- 8:30Speaker 3: almost met your demise or death, you had a car
- 8:36Speaker 3: accident and it spun out of control and you were
- 8:39Speaker 3: hanging over the bridge, or in the case of one
- 8:43Speaker 3: of my sisters, you know, she had a car accident
- 8:46Speaker 3: where a tree fell on her car. And I think
- 8:50Speaker 3: what happens is it's a really big deal when it's happening,
- 8:56Speaker 3: and it's a really big deal when you feel the loss,
- 9:00Speaker 3: you feel the pain, and you feel the suffering in
- 9:03Speaker 3: life after death. I think so many shocking, unknown things
- 9:08Speaker 3: happened to went to Santiago, and when she came out
- 9:11Speaker 3: of that experience, really by the grace of God, she
- 9:16Speaker 3: was very clear about it. But most like most of us,
- 9:21Speaker 3: we forget. You know, one day you were praying and
- 9:25Speaker 3: thanking God, and then two weeks later you're like born
- 9:30Speaker 3: with the show. So I think she has changed in
- 9:35Speaker 3: some ways. She knows that there is a God, and
- 9:40Speaker 3: I don't think before her death experience she knew that.
- 9:47Speaker 3: She is all about her business now and now her
- 9:49Speaker 3: hustle is legal, it is not illegal, and that's a
- 9:53Speaker 3: big deal. Her father, Santiago, is her manager. Now she
- 9:58Speaker 3: has her own reality show. She has a lot of
- 10:02Speaker 3: leverage though, because she has a brother in law who
- 10:06Speaker 3: is in the film industry, is quite popular and quite powerful.
- 10:10Speaker 3: So how she juggles is what we'll see when to
- 10:15Speaker 3: go through in Love After Midnight, and how she pursues
- 10:19Speaker 3: the thing she wants in her life, like she wants
- 10:23Speaker 3: she wants a man, but she's looking for a man
- 10:26Speaker 3: that feels like the men of the nineties, and she's
- 10:30Speaker 3: is no longer the nineties now it's the twenty first century.
- 10:33Speaker 3: And she don't like these new dudes. So she's disappointed
- 10:38Speaker 3: because she doesn't have somebody that you know, she really feels,
- 10:43Speaker 3: you know, deeply connected to, and so she's pursuing that.
- 10:48Speaker 3: But she's very picky and she'll she'll you know, choose
- 10:52Speaker 3: somebody up and spit them out in an instance. So
- 10:56Speaker 3: it's good for her business wise, financially, it's good for
- 11:00Speaker 3: her family wise. Uh, it's it's a struggle for her
- 11:05Speaker 3: because she has a certain kind of personality. But I
- 11:09Speaker 3: think that people will love Love after Midnight. I call
- 11:12Speaker 3: it a hood romantic comedy. And the reason why I
- 11:17Speaker 3: say hood is because romance in the hood sometimes it's
- 11:22Speaker 3: not that romantic.
- 11:23Speaker 4: It's actually it's actually more trauma bonding than anything more toxic.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Exact in the first so you're about to experience her trauma.
- 11:31Speaker 5: In the first chapter. Mood the like the first couple
- 11:35Speaker 5: of graphs grab me, you say, well, Winter is saying
- 11:38Speaker 5: I'm addicted. I'm addicted to the struggle in the hustle,
- 11:40Speaker 5: moving and maneuvering fighting, fury, action and reaction, pressure, intension,
- 11:44Speaker 5: And I was like, wow, you don't like as a
- 11:46Speaker 5: person growing up like a girl from around you don't
- 11:49Speaker 5: realize how much you're addicted to things that are really
- 11:52Speaker 5: traumatizing to you, and you think you need it, kind
- 11:53Speaker 5: of like to live and survive until you get out
- 11:56Speaker 5: of it, until you go through an experience like what
- 11:58Speaker 5: she went through in the last book. Speaking from that perspective, like,
- 12:02Speaker 5: you know, as a person who you know you're guiding
- 12:04Speaker 5: wins her, what do you want us girls to take
- 12:06Speaker 5: away from this book? Because when I read that, I'm like, oh,
- 12:08Speaker 5: this is deeper than like a lot of people even
- 12:10Speaker 5: probably know on the surface watching her journey through this
- 12:13Speaker 5: new book.
- 12:15Speaker 3: All right. In the beginning of my novels always there's
- 12:18Speaker 3: a poem, yes the wor and this one, you know,
- 12:23Speaker 3: is what to remember and what to forget? So what
- 12:28Speaker 3: as an author, what I'm showing is that sometimes we
- 12:33Speaker 3: don't focus on which things we should remember and which
- 12:38Speaker 3: things we should forget. And even artists in the entertainment
- 12:42Speaker 3: industry have the same problem. A lot of times. If
- 12:46Speaker 3: you're coming from hard times and then you get a
- 12:50Speaker 3: certain amount of money that you never thought you would
- 12:54Speaker 3: earn like you're making seven figures. You never thought you
- 12:58Speaker 3: would have that in the palm of your hand. And
- 13:01Speaker 3: you're young, so you want to bring everybody with you.
- 13:06Speaker 3: But if you bring the streets with you into your business,
- 13:12Speaker 3: things get complicated. And I think that we can all agree,
- 13:16Speaker 3: Like I'm constantly seeing cases on being aired on platforms
- 13:23Speaker 3: and on television about this rap star, that rap star,
- 13:29Speaker 3: this celebrity or that celebrity, and it was the person's
- 13:34Speaker 3: inability to transition from one level to another level, not
- 13:41Speaker 3: knowing what to remember, what to forget, what to hold
- 13:45Speaker 3: on to, and what to regret. Sometimes we glorify things
- 13:49Speaker 3: that are not good for us because we're just used
- 13:53Speaker 3: to it, right, And so if you hold on to
- 13:56Speaker 3: it because you're used to it, it's going to ruin
- 14:00Speaker 3: the gifts that you received. So I think life is
- 14:06Speaker 3: a balancing act. And I think that all of us
- 14:09Speaker 3: need guidance, and all of us need faith. And I
- 14:13Speaker 3: think if you don't have a faith, you know, whether
- 14:16Speaker 3: you're Christian or Jewish or Muslim or whatever your belief
- 14:22Speaker 3: system is, if you don't have a faith, you don't
- 14:26Speaker 3: have guidance, and you don't have limits to what you
- 14:30Speaker 3: will and will not do. And furthermore, you don't know
- 14:35Speaker 3: who is all powerful, so you'll start doing things for
- 14:39Speaker 3: people because you think that those people are in control,
- 14:43Speaker 3: but really only one is in control.
- 14:46Speaker 2: No, it's crazy. You look at sports and you look
- 14:49Speaker 2: at all these other organizations and they have people that
- 14:51Speaker 2: actually come in to help these young men or young
- 14:54Speaker 2: women transition from one stage of their life to another
- 14:57Speaker 2: stage of their life. But when you look at the
- 14:59Speaker 2: entertainment industry, they don't have that, you know, because a
- 15:02Speaker 2: lot of these everybody, most people that come up from
- 15:05Speaker 2: the entertainment industry are from the street. So like you said,
- 15:08Speaker 2: they think what's popular or what they should be doing.
- 15:10Speaker 2: It's something that they see and there is nobody teaching
- 15:13Speaker 2: them this is not the way. There is no guidance.
- 15:16Speaker 3: But you know, envy there was. There were people who
- 15:21Speaker 3: were doing that. But if it's if it's any interest
- 15:26Speaker 3: of people who are financing these creative arts for their
- 15:31Speaker 3: artists to stay in a state of ignorance, then they block.
- 15:38Speaker 3: It's the same like you block somebody on your phone.
- 15:41Speaker 3: You block the good people, you block the leadership, you
- 15:45Speaker 3: block the intellectuals, you block the people who are just
- 15:50Speaker 3: good people who want to give guidance so that we
- 15:57Speaker 3: can prosper from it.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Yeah, and we see it so many different times. You know,
- 16:02Speaker 2: I just wanted to get your thought because I mean,
- 16:04Speaker 2: you're so profound in your thoughts and you actually do
- 16:06Speaker 2: the homework. What is your thoughts on what's going on
- 16:09Speaker 2: now with politics, with with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
- 16:14Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on that? Because you've never been a
- 16:15Speaker 2: person to bite your tongue, You're gonna say what it
- 16:17Speaker 2: is and how you feel and what you what you're thinking.
- 16:19Speaker 4: It feels like, to add to Envy's point, it does
- 16:22Speaker 4: feel like, especially around Israel, in Palestine, it does feel
- 16:27Speaker 4: like there's a lot of sister Soldier moments happening.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Yes, right, sister Soljier moments.
- 16:32Speaker 4: You know, you know the politicians call these things sister
- 16:34Speaker 4: Soldier moments, And feels like a lot of that is happening.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Well, you know, politics. Why I grew weary of politics
- 16:48Speaker 3: a number of years ago because I don't think that
- 16:53Speaker 3: the people are given real choices. I think you're always
- 17:00Speaker 3: you're always just doing the minimum, you know, like, okay,
- 17:06Speaker 3: all right, it's this one or that one, but you
- 17:09Speaker 3: don't feel good about any of it, you know. And
- 17:13Speaker 3: then there's also the fact of being organized is a
- 17:18Speaker 3: really big deal because if a community is not organized,
- 17:23Speaker 3: they don't even understand the political structure. It won't even
- 17:28Speaker 3: matter what you vote for or who you vote for,
- 17:33Speaker 3: if you don't have an agenda, if you don't have
- 17:36Speaker 3: your agenda backed up by finance, if you don't have
- 17:42Speaker 3: an understanding of how the system works. And the system
- 17:46Speaker 3: is quite intricate. So I don't know. I think for
- 17:50Speaker 3: maybe forty years, I was always that voice that was saying,
- 17:59Speaker 3: was questioning and proposing and suggesting and working and communicating
- 18:07Speaker 3: and so on and so forth. It just got to
- 18:10Speaker 3: the point where it seemed like it wasn't that people
- 18:17Speaker 3: didn't know what to do, they just weren't interested in
- 18:21Speaker 3: doing it.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Do you think, well, I don't want to say, do
- 18:26Speaker 4: you what do you think of the Vice president Kamala Harris?
- 18:29Speaker 4: What do you think of this moment that we're here
- 18:30Speaker 4: in America? Do you think it's revolutionary? Do you think
- 18:33Speaker 4: it's historic? Do you think that it's something that could
- 18:36Speaker 4: change things?
- 18:40Speaker 3: Oh?
- 18:40Speaker 2: Boy?
- 18:42Speaker 3: Well, I mean when Obama was running, you know, everyone
- 18:48Speaker 3: was excited and probably in tears. And you know, actually
- 18:53Speaker 3: I was living in Japan when Obama was elected and
- 18:59Speaker 3: all watched, you know, all the different news agencies and everything,
- 19:03Speaker 3: and people who really were so overwhelmed with happiness and tears,
- 19:10Speaker 3: and they seem to think that the world was going
- 19:12Speaker 3: to change in some really huge way. And you know,
- 19:16Speaker 3: I think that President Obama was a nice guy, but
- 19:21Speaker 3: I don't think that the world changed in any huge way.
- 19:25Speaker 3: I think it's a matter of it's a matter of
- 19:31Speaker 3: knowing and studying and learning and planning. So it's not
- 19:37Speaker 3: a matter of is it going to be this man
- 19:41Speaker 3: or this woman. It's not a matter of that because
- 19:45Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it's just the face.
- 19:48Speaker 3: But you have to know how to work the system,
- 19:51Speaker 3: and you have to be organized to impact the system.
- 19:56Speaker 3: And I think in the US we have a co
- 20:00Speaker 3: of personality. You know, we just pick who we like
- 20:03Speaker 3: or who looks the best, or these different things. But
- 20:07Speaker 3: it really has nothing to do with politics and power.
- 20:10Speaker 1: That's real.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Why have it the Coldest went to ever been turned
- 20:14Speaker 4: into some type of series, our.
- 20:16Speaker 5: Movie yet That's why I had that same question.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Yes, I know, Jada, I think if I'm not mistaken.
- 20:22Speaker 4: Didn't Jada Pinket Smith option it back in the day
- 20:24Speaker 4: or something like that.
- 20:26Speaker 3: She optioned it a long, long time ago. Let me
- 20:29Speaker 3: just tell you simply, like, just give you the truth.
- 20:36Speaker 3: A Hollywood contract can be maybe fifty pages long and
- 20:43Speaker 3: not just be one of them. And there's so many
- 20:46Speaker 3: strict change things in these contracts, and it makes me
- 20:51Speaker 3: understand how other people kind of got caught in a
- 20:55Speaker 3: bad situation. But I read the contracts line for line,
- 21:04Speaker 3: and I have my red pen, and I write notes
- 21:11Speaker 3: on the side, and I negotiate because a contract is
- 21:16Speaker 3: a mutual agreement between two or more parties, and so
- 21:24Speaker 3: I feel like I have a voice in the contract,
- 21:27Speaker 3: whereas movie houses seem to think they write down whatever
- 21:33Speaker 3: they want to write in this contract and you just
- 21:35Speaker 3: sign on the dotted line and don't ask any questions.
- 21:39Speaker 3: So I think my intelligence has worked against me in
- 21:44Speaker 3: terms of the Hollywood system. But at the same time,
- 21:50Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to just sign some weird agreement and
- 21:55Speaker 3: end up regretting it, so I don't. So we were
- 21:59Speaker 3: at a major student yo, and uh, you know, I
- 22:02Speaker 3: just found the experience not to be what it should be.
- 22:07Speaker 5: If somebody came to you with the right situation that
- 22:09Speaker 5: you were comfortable with and you could trust, would you
- 22:11Speaker 5: do it or are you just completely against it because
- 22:13Speaker 5: of like the politics that go bhind you know, closed
- 22:16Speaker 5: door sometimes with the Hollywood studios.
- 22:18Speaker 3: No, I'm not against it. The right deal, yes, the
- 22:23Speaker 3: right deal. Let me let me give you a better
- 22:27Speaker 3: example so you can see what I'm saying. So I
- 22:30Speaker 3: said to you, I have seven novels. So say I say, okay,
- 22:33Speaker 3: I'm interested in making The Coldest Winterever into a film,
- 22:38Speaker 3: and the Hollywood studio says great, And then they come
- 22:42Speaker 3: back with the contract. And then the contract says, uh
- 22:46Speaker 3: that they are accessing the Coldest Winter Ever, a Deeper
- 22:49Speaker 3: Love Inside, and some other book that I wrote. And
- 22:54Speaker 3: I say, no, no, no, no, that's not what I'm selling.
- 22:58Speaker 3: I'm only doing a one a one deal with The
- 23:02Speaker 3: Coldest Winterever, the film version. And they say, yeah, okay,
- 23:07Speaker 3: So what we're gonna do is we're gonna freeze all
- 23:11Speaker 3: of your other works. So you will agree that during
- 23:14Speaker 3: this whole process you won't sell or discuss with any
- 23:19Speaker 3: other company or business person converting this book into a
- 23:26Speaker 3: film and we're gonna freeze it for five years before
- 23:32Speaker 3: and after the film is made. Just strange situations. There
- 23:38Speaker 3: are even some contracts that want you to not write
- 23:42Speaker 3: anything else until this is produced. So I'm not interested
- 23:48Speaker 3: in legal shackles.
- 23:51Speaker 4: You know.
- 23:52Speaker 3: It's like if I had ten houses and I'm selling
- 23:55Speaker 3: one of them and you tell me, okay, i'll buy
- 23:58Speaker 3: this one, but you're not allowed to sell the other nine. What.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're my house, that's right, So.
- 24:06Speaker 3: What are you talking about? Okay, well you can sell
- 24:09Speaker 3: it in ten years. Come on, man, what are you
- 24:12Speaker 3: discussing here? So I think that the contracts are also
- 24:16Speaker 3: set up in a way that they're using a very
- 24:20Speaker 3: you know, legalistic language of course, a very high language,
- 24:25Speaker 3: and so they expect you to not understand. But I
- 24:30Speaker 3: know what inperpetuity means. It means forever, all right, you know,
- 24:34Speaker 3: so you're agreeing to something forever when you look at
- 24:38Speaker 3: these contracts. If you have any kind of independence in
- 24:45Speaker 3: your thinking or intelligence in your thinking, you're not going
- 24:48Speaker 3: to sign them. And so people think, oh, we'll just
- 24:52Speaker 3: let her sit over there and wait. She'll get tired
- 24:55Speaker 3: of waiting, and then she'll come and be more obedient.
- 24:59Speaker 3: But that's not me the case.
- 25:01Speaker 1: That's right, because you live a great life.
- 25:04Speaker 3: In a moment of the law. I do you know.
- 25:07Speaker 3: I try to be a good person. I make my prayers,
- 25:11Speaker 3: you know, every day throughout the day, and the law
- 25:18Speaker 3: takes very good care of me, the law, so I
- 25:20Speaker 3: have no complaints. I'm not in a desperate state, and
- 25:24Speaker 3: that makes me really comfortable.
- 25:28Speaker 4: Well, you know, my daughter just turned sixteen, so I'm
- 25:30Speaker 4: gifting her of the whole the whole book series, the
- 25:32Speaker 4: Coldest Oneever, Life after Death and now I Love After Midnight.
- 25:35Speaker 1: I think you know she's ready to read those now.
- 25:38Speaker 1: I think I believe she is.
- 25:39Speaker 3: I hope, I hope you give her the Midnight books
- 25:42Speaker 3: also because she needs to know how to evaluate the
- 25:47Speaker 3: guys that you know she will come across in I.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Don't want to think about that.
- 25:52Speaker 5: Y'all might got talked through those, like she needs to
- 25:54Speaker 5: read and then y'all sit down and talk because the
- 25:55Speaker 5: Midnight series it changed my yeah.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, But he needs to know. She needs to
- 26:03Speaker 3: know what a man is and what a man isn't,
- 26:09Speaker 3: and really what a woman is and what a woman isn't.
- 26:11Speaker 3: Because the Midnight Books don't only address manhood, they also
- 26:15Speaker 3: address womanhood, you know, And that main character is very influential,
- 26:21Speaker 3: and that Midnight series I think should be required reading
- 26:27Speaker 3: instead of some of the silly stuff that you get
- 26:30Speaker 3: in high school.
- 26:31Speaker 1: I agree.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Well, make sure you pick it up if you're out
- 26:34Speaker 2: and about. Pick up Love after Midnight. And Sister Soldier
- 26:36Speaker 2: actually did her own audio this time, so you could
- 26:39Speaker 2: pick up the audible as well. And we appreciate you
- 26:42Speaker 2: and be safe out there. We love you, Sister Soldier.
- 26:47Speaker 2: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, wake that.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Ass up in the morning. Breakfast Club.
