  Speaker 3: by Q or I go by Keisha. My family called
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: me Keisha and close friends called me Keisha. I'm originally
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: from Alabama. I just relocated to Texas a couple of
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: couple of months ago. And I used to travel. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: used to travel and the travel in the healthcare industry.

  Speaker 3: being being still and waiting on God, of course, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: you know, and being obedient. That's the number one thing.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That's a heavy word.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: That's heavy word. And I was raised by my grandmother
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: until I was nine years old, and then I went
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: into foster care because my mom went to prison for
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: committing a murder allegedly. Uh they you know, they said

  Speaker 3: my mom helped my auntie killer baby that never existed.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And my mom got did ten years in prison while
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: we went to foster care. And so I survived that
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: with the grace of the Lord. Of course, I survived
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: all of it. If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: be where I'm at today.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You go and look at y'all. She has such a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: beautiful so can't wait thinking that smart you got this

  Speaker 1: so pretty like everything you've been through that smiles, just
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: like I've been through it and I'm over here and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm making to do what it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Is it's called healed.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: There you go, see you obedience healed. But you gotta
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: go through the pain of obedience at times to get
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to that beautiful piece of healing. That's just cute, yes, girl.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So what made you want to become an author?
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be able to Well. When I was
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: in you know, when we first went to foster care,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you know, I had a behavior problem and I used
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to fight, you know, especially when someone says something about
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: my mother, especially like when I was in the seventh grade.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: The kids used to say, your mom a baby killer.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: And I said, yeah, I'm a killer too, cause we're
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: finna fight. I'm gonna beat you up. So, you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I had develop an anger problem.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: And so that counselors was like, you need to you
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: need to speak to somebody. You need to talk to somebody.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: So I had a counselor that I used to talk to.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: He was originally he was from out of Mobile, Alabama,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and I was in the country. It was a small
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: country called small county called Chalkdaw County, is where I'm
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: originally from and the city is listening. Alabama is where
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I'm aly from. So Mobile was like the number two
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: county compared to Choctaw. And so they, the counselors came
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: from Mobile to visit me at school. Wow, kids can
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: be crue and yeah they can. And my counselor used
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: to tell me, why don't you just start writing everything
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: down on how you feel and writing it down on
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: how you feel that way, it'll help you develop. It'll
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: help you develop healing in the process of what's going on,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: because at that time it was a lot to process.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: If it makes any sense, I was like my mother's mother,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: if that makes any sense. My mother looked at my
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: mother looked at an eight year old child for directions.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: That's deep. So I used to help my mom like
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I took care of my mom. I used to help
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: my mom. And you know I did that for my mom.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's deep.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But you're here, damn, and you have a purpose.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And so let's talk about this purpose. Let's talk about it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: This book. Your book, your book. Let's talk about this book.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: So tell me a little bit about your book.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, So I wrote a when I when I wrote
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: my book, I talk a lot about my mom, and
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I talk about the main part of my book where
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I like to talk about the most, and it just
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: it hit, it hit, it just hits, it hits every
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: time called. The title is the Family Orphaned and and
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I chose to be that because at eight years old,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: when the people came, when Human Resource Department came out
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to my grandmother's slave house when and to come and
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: talk to us and stuff. And I told my social worker.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I told her at the time, I said, can you
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: please get me out of this house so I can
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: go and learn something about life so I can come
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: back and take care of my grandmother. And they was like, okay,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: well I don't understand, babe. She was just misremonable. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: just don't understand. I said, I promise you you'll never
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: regret this decision. So she did. And you know, even
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: though it was it was trying. I'm not gonna lie.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It was trying because you're talking about somebody that was
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: molested over three hundred, three hundred times. But I didn't
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: let that stop me from graduating high school. All I
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: wanted to do at eight years old to graduate high
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: school because I wanted to great break generational curses over
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: my family, so I just didn't worry about that. I
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: was gonna deal with that later on in life. That's
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: what I had in my brain that I was going
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to focus on that later on. I just wanted to
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: graduate high school.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: So how did it feel when you graduated from high school?
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Well, May the eighteenth of two thousand and seven. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: was the first one in my family to graduate. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: when they called my name, I wanted them to call
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: it twice because I wanted them to know that, hey,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a bell graduated with a high school diploma, not a certificate,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: not with you know, people in our town, it is
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: so small, and it's like people prey on people downfalls,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: and so my family was the talk of the neighborhoods
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and stuff. They it's always a out the bells. This,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: oh them bells, them bells, them bells. But guess what,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: this bell graduated and this bell wasn't playing. And I
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: did that because of God, not because of me. God
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: gave me that power to do what I needed to do.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Because when I was little, my grandmother used to tell
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: me when I would when I was learning how to pray,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: because I used to see her praying. I asked her
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: what she was doing. She said she was talking to
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the Lord, And I asked her. So she told me,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: she said, you always pray for wisdom and knowledge and understanding.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Mmm, what's some knowledge and understand that? Yeah, yo, I've
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: never heard anybody say that before.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, my grandma used to tell me that. My grandma,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: she used to tell me that she she lived to
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: she she was there at my graduation, and she was
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: she lived to be ninety seven years old, and she
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: was there for me.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: That is beautiful. That's a good, healthy life. Ninety seven
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: crazy And now look at Granny looking at you. She
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: got looking out. I truly do believe that our family
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: members are always down hereing us on when things like
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: this happened, these big moments in our lives, even something
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: as little as doing the podcast. They said, I pull up, Jesus,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: can I just do this for thirty minutes? And I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: promise you I'm coming to prayer. But I needed her
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to know that I'm there for her. I'm pretty sure
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: God sitting there all right, I'm giving you a pass.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Go sit up there and look for her for thirty minutes,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: but come.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: On back and I used to tell my I used
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: to tell the people that used to molest me. I
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: used to tell them, I said, God ain't pleased with you.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I said, but you go ahead and do what you
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: gotta do. Well, you're gonna get you. I promise you that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: And I was a kid telling that, telling them that
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I was a kid telling them that. Wow, So you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: you know, and that's then that's something right there, you know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: to be able to have that wheel power, to be
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: able to say things like that to somebody that is
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: torturing you.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I I can't wrap my head around me. Yes, this
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: is one of these one times that I cannot wrap
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: my head around it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am. So you know, and now just about all
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: of them, all of them are deceased because you don't
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: mess with God's chosen people. And I keep telling people
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that y'all better, they better, they better stop, don't be
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: messing with God's chosen. But you know that's neither here
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: nor there.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yep, we're gonna have We're gonna let God handle Lord.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Does not He does not be playing about his chosen ones,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: because you know, we didn't have And the reason why
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I'm chosen because my parents you know, they brought me
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: into this world, but they couldn't take care of me,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: and so you know I had to God had to
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: take care of me.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yea God. So this book cover is beautiful. Let's thank
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you out with that. Who created your book cover?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Well, I had a I had a lady that I
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: was working with at the time. She was we was
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: creating book covers, and so I told her that I
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: wanted a picture of my mother. And that's actually a
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: picture of my mother that's thrown on at the half
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: of face. That's actually my mother that that I had created.

• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I did, But now I want to hear about your
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: book and your words. So tell us a little about
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the evolution of me.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Well, like I said, you know, I wanted to let
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: the foster kids, particularly let the false kids know, if
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I can do it, you can do it. And I
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: thought my life was hard, but some of these, some
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: of the some of the kids, life is worse than mine.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: So and I wanted to create a book so I
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: could create something I can tell my story on how
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I survived and and you know, it's it's you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: based on a true story through the eyes of a survivor.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: And I wanted to be able to share share that
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: with with Falster kids and women, young women, you know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: all over the world, so that they can they can
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: see you can get through the rape. You can get
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: through you can get through it. It's a process, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: it's not gonna happen all overnight, of course not, but
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: you have to you have to allow yourself to get
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: through it. And so I wanted to tell my tell
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: my testimony through the book so that people can see, hey,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: this person did it. Let me let me be like Q,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: or let me be better than Q, you know, so
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: that they can understand, like, you can get through this.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: This is a process. Look at what God did for me,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: He'll do the same for you. He loved all of us,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: you know, he loved all of his kids. So let's
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: just come on, let's just go. Let me. Let me
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: follow Q and uh, let me get it together, let
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: me get my life together. Somebody out there loves you,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Somebody Q loves me, you know. I just I just
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: wanted to share that, and I wanted to I wanted
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: to make sure that my make sure my foster families
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: that the Falster kids and who I'm relating to, that
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: they understand that we're a family. Even though you don't
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: know me, we're family because once you meet another Falter child,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: from a Fosster child to another Falster child, you you
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: automatically have that connection. And so I wanted to be
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: able to tell my story and reach the Falter kids
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: because that's that's the number one thing. Because when you
• 18:33

  Speaker 3: do that? You know, you just and you just feel
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: you alone, and I just want to make I would
• 18:52

• 18:53
  Speaker 3: alone you. It's people out here that don't went through
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: to some of the stuff that you done went through.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: So let me be a help to help you get
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: through the process with God help, of course, not just me,
• 19:04
