• 1:19
  I'll tell you. The young lady asks me, She say, is
• 1:25
  your work passion or is it just something that you do, y'all? This
• 1:30
  is my passion. This is what I live for. I wake up in
• 1:34
  the morning trying to find ways that I can pour into somebody, ways that
• 1:40
  I can bring somebody together, ways that I can, you know, get
• 1:45
  people to understand that they got purpose, that there's a reason why they're here.
• 1:49
  It's not by coincidence, it's not by happenstance. It's not an accident
• 1:53
  that they're here. But there's a reason why you are here. And I'm
• 1:59
  I'm just I'm thrilled. God is definitely moving. He's opening doors for so
• 2:06
  many people that in my circle. And I'm just I'm just happy about that.
• 2:10
  So the question she asked me, this question, she said, what
• 2:15
  advice would you give to black women in twenty twenty three who work in a
• 2:20
  similar setting? Ask me? So, I I told her. And and
• 2:30
  this is for anybody, not just people that want that that work in this
• 2:35
  setting, and not just life coaches, not just authors, not just people
• 2:38
  that do podcasting, but for anybody. Love. You find out what what
• 2:46
  thing makes you happy, what thing makes you get up in the morning,
• 2:51
  and that you are passionate about and when you're passionate about something, then that's
• 2:59
  when you can be intend in them. Because I've noticed that, you know
• 3:01
  a lot of us, we'll go through the motions and we'll do a lot
• 3:07
  of stuff because that's what other people are doing, or that's what's hot right
• 3:12
  now, or that's the trend right now. But when it's over or you
• 3:17
  still gonna be able to do that, Like it was a thing for people
• 3:24
  just just just writing books and holding events and and saying that they are a
• 3:30
  life coach, you know. And now a lot of people don't move down
• 3:35
  from that. A lot of people not, No, this is my passion,
• 3:38
  this, this is this is what I do, and this is what
• 3:40
  I'm gonna do untide I close my eyes. I I just I'm thinking of
• 3:47
  ways that I can innovate the things that I'm already doing. That's why I'm
• 3:53
  so thankful for this class that I'm in right now, because I am developing
• 3:59
  something that's gonna be so amazing that's gonna be able to not just help me,
• 4:03
  but it's gonna be able to help so many other people that are connected
• 4:06
  to not just this platform, but all of the platforms that I'm a part
• 4:11
  of. Because if you are a life coach, if you are an event
• 4:16
  planner, if you are a podcaster, if you are an author. It's
• 4:20
  gonna be something that's gonna be able to help all of those in that arena.
• 4:26
  And I'm excited about it. I'm man, this class is like,
• 4:30
  I'm so glad that I stepped out on faith and believe that that God spoke
• 4:38
  to my spirit and went back to school. Y'all. I I I question
• 4:46
  myself. I second doubt it myself. I said, I'm too old to
• 4:48
  do this. I'm I don't want I thirty years later, why are you
• 4:53
  going back to school? Y'all? Thirty years from the day that I graduate,
• 4:59
  I be getting my bachelor's and business administration and I'll be walking with honors
• 5:08
  in less than a month. I am so excited about that. And I
• 5:11
  think back to, you know, starting this journey. I started this journey.
• 5:17
  I started in Greenville, South Carolina, and North Greenville College Junior College.
• 5:24
  I went from one year because I got a scholarship. I ended up
• 5:28
  there. I hated that school. I ended up leaving. I did not
• 5:31
  know what I was going to do, y'all. I came to Atlanta,
• 5:38
  and I remember calling around to schools, trying to figure out if I could
• 5:46
  get on somebody's basketball team, if I could just try out, if I
• 5:49
  could just get my foot in the door. And coach Steve Daniels at Morris
• 5:56
  Brown College gave me an opportunity to walk on and to be a basketball player.
• 6:02
  He said, well, I won't be able to put you on campus
• 6:08
  the first semester, he said, But I can pay for your school,
• 6:12
  he said, but you will have to live off campus. So I did
• 6:15
  it. Just that I lived off campus. I enrolled. I went to
• 6:21
  Morris Brown for about three years, and it just seemed like things just started
• 6:26
  getting rough for me, and I decided that I was gonna take a year
• 6:30
  off. But y'all, that year turned into two years, turned into five
• 6:35
  years, turned into ten years, turned into twenty years, and here thirty
• 6:41
  years later, y'all, I'm getting ready to walk across the stage. None
• 6:45
  at Morris Brown, but I'm getting ready to walk across the stage Australia University
• 6:48
  in Atlanta, Georgia, on September the sixteenth, at ten am. I
• 6:54
  am so excited about that, and I just wanted to encourage somebody on today.
• 7:00
  I don't care how old you are. I don't care what may have
• 7:03
  happened in your life. It is never too late to pursue that thing that
• 7:10
  you are passionate about. That that thing that you are passionate about. Because
• 7:15
  one thing that I've learned on this journey that everybody's gonna give their input.
• 7:20
  Everybody's gonna say what they what you should do, and what you shouldn't do.
• 7:26
  But at the end of the day, you have to be the best
• 7:29
  version of yourself that you can be. Can't worry worry about what the next
• 7:35
  person is doing and how you're you're you're sizing up with that person, or
• 7:42
  how you're measuring up to that person, because y'all, we're all we all
• 7:46
  have different DNA, we all come from different backgrounds. I don't care if
• 7:49
  we do got the same mom and dad, We're gonna be different because we
• 7:55
  are different people. So you have to be the best ask version of yourself
• 8:01
  that you can be the best version of yourself, and that is doing the
• 8:07
  things that you're passionate about. Forget what other people think, because it does
• 8:13
  not matter what they think. She asked me another question. She said,
• 8:20
  if I had the opportunity two do something other than what I'm doing. What
• 8:28
  would I do? Yeah, I wouldn't. Like I wouldn't trade what I
• 8:33
  do for the world unless I could. Just if I could, just if
• 8:37
  I could just travel the world and not have to worry about nothing, then
• 8:39
  that I would do that. But if if if I couldn't do that and
• 8:45
  get paid for it, then I don't want to do it. I want
• 8:48
  to stay doing what I'm doing because I feel like I'm able to touch lives
• 8:54
  and impact lives, and I can be an example for somebody because a lot
• 9:03
  of us we we act you know who who who did we have as role
• 9:09
  models? I didn't what I'm doing now. I didn't there was nobody doing
• 9:15
  what I'm doing in my area, in my community. I didn't know no
• 9:18
  authors in in Anderson, South Carolina. I didn't know my podcasters in Anderson,
• 9:22
  South Carolina. I didn't know no magazine owners in Anderson, South Carolina.
• 9:28
  But of course now we've branched out and we've started tapping into our creativeness.
• 9:33
  So there are a lot of people, you know, coming forth with
• 9:37
  a lot of different things. But before it was like we was just so
• 9:41
  closed up in a box and we did not realize that this world is so
• 9:46
  big and there's so much that we could be doing out here, but a
• 9:52
  lot of us we grow up in these small places. We we we we
• 9:54
  get that that small town mentality inside out of us. When people tell you,
• 10:01
  oh, go get you a good job at that meal, get you
• 10:05
  a house, get you a car. That's what we do. And we'd
• 10:09
  be started working them jobs for twenty thirty forty years, going to work Monday
• 10:16
  through Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Saturdays, were too tired to do anything
• 10:20
  because we don't work all week. Sundays, of course, we going to
• 10:24
  church or those that may not go may go to church on Saturdays, however,
• 10:28
  but we're really not doing anything and it's just a routine, I say.
• 10:33
  But yet we are for feeling somebody else's dream, because it was somebody's
• 10:39
  dream and somebody's vision that created these jobs. So if we can do it
• 10:46
  for somebody else, then why can't we do it but for ourselves? So,
• 10:54
  y'all, I've been thinking about that thing. I've been thinking about that
• 10:58
  thing, and I've been thinking about different things. Is that we that I
• 11:01
  could do to to innovate the things that I'm already doing and God has been
• 11:05
  downloading some things, so y'all about to see some things come up off the
• 11:09
  pressing in a little while. But I've been over here and overload again.
• 11:15
  I have to give a shout out to doctor Kuna of California for allowing me
• 11:20
  to be a part of amazing show. I cannot wait to see it.
• 11:24
  It is going to be a part of a Rooku series and I'm excited,
• 11:30
  excited to be able to share. You know, our motto here at the
• 11:35
  Crew podcast is we are the change that we desire to see it in this
• 11:39
  world, and in order to see change, we have to be that change.
• 11:45
  So y'all, I know I say I'm not gonna stay on here alone.
• 11:48
  Before I leave, I do want to put a plea out y'all working
• 11:52
  on a couple of projects. I am looking for some poets. If you
• 11:56
  are a poet and will like to be a part of an amazing anthology.
• 12:03
  Book one and two made number one new release, Book number two made number
• 12:09
  one, and Faith and Spirituality. So I'm excited about, you know,
• 12:15
  just being able able to allow other people to share their voice, to to
• 12:20
  share their perspective of forgiveness, their perspective of Hope, and now we're on
• 12:26
  love. Finding Love is this last book to this three book series of Silently
• 12:35
  Hurting Inside Hurt No More. If you are a poet or aspiring to be
• 12:39
  a poet and would like to share two to three poems, I want you
• 12:45
  to connect with us and join this anithology. We still have space for twenty
• 12:52
  individuals to join us and allow their words to speak around the world. The
• 12:58
  fee is only thirty three dollars and thirty three cents. You get to put
• 13:01
  two to three points. You get to put your bio in there, how
• 13:05
  individuals can connect with you and what you're doing. We want people to see
• 13:09
  what you're doing, not just in being a part of this anithology, but
• 13:13
  being on your own brand. And that's the great thing about being a part
• 13:18
  of an anthology. You get to connect with those that are part of the
• 13:20
  anthology. So if you join us, you get to connect with thirty nine
• 13:26
  other individuals life individuals. Because guess what, we decided that we wanted to
• 13:31
  be the change. We wanted to be the voice for those that may be
• 13:35
  suffering with mental health issues. Because the Silently Hurting Inside series Hurt No More,
• 13:43
  it's based on bringing awareness to black mental health and wellness. We started
• 13:48
  with Finding Forgiveness, and then the second book was Finding Hope, and we're
• 13:54
  gonna end this series with Finding Love. So I encourage you guys, if
• 14:00

• 14:09
  with solidof shotgun. And every time I hear one of these stories where these
• 14:15
  young ladies have been murdered because of the mestic violence, it it hit home,
• 14:22
  y'all, because that could have been my faith. But because I survived
• 14:26
  my ordeal and I'm able to share my story, I'm able to tell how
• 14:31
  I survived. And I'm reaching out for to all those that may have been
• 14:37
  through domestic violence and may have not never had the opportunity to share your story.
• 14:43
  Join me inside of this anthology and and and this one. Y'all.
• 14:48
  I'm like, I'm not even concerned about the fees. I I just want
• 14:52

• 14:58
  me in box me. Let's let's talk about how we If we gotta pay
• 15:01
  three dollars for elevel weeks, then guess what we'll do that if if that's
• 15:09
  what it's gonna take for you to be a part of this anthology and allow
• 15:11
  your voice to speak so that somebody else don't have to go through what we
• 15:16
  endu it ye'all, that's what it's all about. How and to love yourself
• 15:26
  and then you can lead by an example. And that's what I'm doing.
• 15:31
  I'll tell you, when God drop these words and my spirit, y'all,
• 15:35
  he break them down to me and I get new life. I get new
• 15:41
  meaning from the things that He download into me. I'm excited about what God
• 15:48
  is doing, not just in my life, but in the lives of those
• 15:52
  that are connected to me and in my circle and those that are connected to
• 15:56
  those that are connected to the circle. God is yet moving, and some
• 16:03
  of us are sitting down on those gifts that He's given us. He's told
• 16:12
  us things that we're supposed to be doing. Yet we sit in silence and
• 16:19
  we hold these things in when they could be impacting lives. If he's called
• 16:25
  you to it, y'all, he's gonna see you through it. So be
• 16:27
  intentional about those things that he's called you to. I'm gonna get out of
• 16:33
