• 5:02
  second? Oh wow, okay, we got we here, we all have
• 5:15
  wait, we are here, that's all. But yeah, again, I
• 5:26
  just turned thirty five. I grew up with a huge family, you know,
• 5:30
  from my mom and dad's side. I graduated to colleges. I went
• 5:34
  to try to Technical College back in twenty eleven get my associate Arts degree,
• 5:44
  and then I transferred to the College of Charleston Mijard and Theater. I graduated
• 5:49
  to twenty fifteen. I've been doing like performing, writing, doing some shows.
• 5:56
  I sing with the Plantation Singers. I'm here in the Low Country.
• 6:00
  So you probably heard my little callagis I love them Liberry so many times?

• 6:21
  A hoss chop offs on Sundays Yo is, yes, they do amazing gospel
• 6:30
  brunches. You know, it's all time high. So you have all of
• 6:39
  this artistic energy going on. How does where you live contribute to your energy
• 6:48
  as an artist? Oh my god, that is a good question as that
• 6:56
  one. But I don't know. Just be me. I guess I just
• 7:00
  use my personality, have fun, just be positive. Everybody loves my smile,
• 7:05
  Like I guess, my smile lights up the room, room, and
• 7:10
  you know one of my poems kind of aspire that. So I don't know.
• 7:13
  I'm just just be me. It gives me energy, That's what I'm
• 7:16
  talking about. So let's get into this book here. Color absolutely absolutely now
• 7:26
  what that means because I know it's an acrony. Can you break it down
• 7:30
  for us? Absolutely? Absolutely here it is guys, colors can overcome levels
• 7:38
  of real stages. It's the acronym. It's pretty much the rise, the
• 7:43
  fall and come back story of my life. You know, growing up dealing
• 7:47
  with different people in my life. It helped me for the better for worse.
• 7:53
  And then you know, in life we go through different colors and it's
• 7:55
  up to us to find who we are as people when we grew up.
• 8:00
  The inspiration behind colors it actually came from my favorite artists, Donald Rochard from
• 8:07
  group called Dandy King that p Diddy from making a band three formed back.
• 8:13
  I've heard it mm hm the late late two thousands. Don was one of
• 8:18
  the members and she did the same thing with her albums Golden Hard, Black
• 8:22
  Heart and Redemption. And she did the same thing when she went through in
• 8:26
  the industry, the rise of Fall, come back that she went through musically,
• 8:31
  and you know what she experienced in the industry, So I kind of
• 8:35
  made my own kind of rise, the fall and come back story you know,
• 8:37
  before, during COVID and after COVID. So okay, yeah, so
• 8:43
  that's kind of defined help. I just want to have people, you know,
• 8:48
  when they read they kind of get an idea of who I am as
• 8:52
  a person and as a poet, and you know, get the new meal
• 8:54
  better. So so that's where my inspiration comes. Okay, much from it.
• 9:01
  So you wrote this book during COVID, and I want to keep on
• 9:07
  saying this because I want y'all know we got talent. He in y'all in
• 9:09
  South Carolina. So you wrote this your book Colors during COVID. How did
• 9:18
  that? If you how did that help? Would you feel your book would
• 9:24
  have been different if you wrote it now? Hmm, absolutely absolutely. I
• 9:31
  think it would have been wrote a little differently now because like during COVID,
• 9:35
  I did what I was in an abusive relationship with you know, I'm probably
• 9:41
  of the LGBT community, so you know I've been dealing with you know,
• 9:43
  hurt and pain and you know, dealing with depression and you know, after
• 9:48
  the breakup. Instead of like bashing about on social media like everybody do,
• 9:52
  I kind of like put my hurt, my pain, my frustration, my
• 9:56
  stress in my poetry. That's like my my bible, just to get through.
• 10:03
  Okay, yeah, yeah, So I enjoy books like that. I
• 10:09
  enjoyed the books that show this is me then and here's me now. You
• 10:16
  know what I'm saying, It shows that that growth. I love books like
• 10:20
  that, and I usually recommend those to my teens because Lord knows, their
• 10:26
  little lives are just so difficult and they would not think to pick up a
• 10:33
  book that brings you from that betting flower to a full bloom. So I
• 10:39
  applaud you. Would there be anything in your book that you would change now?
• 10:46
  Absolutely not? I not. I kind of like what what the final
• 10:54
  product is? I wouldn't change it for anything that's good? That's good.
• 11:00
  See an author say, hey, you know what, I will change this
• 11:01
  system and that. But the fact that you're saying you won't change it,
• 11:05
  that means this is me, eyes wide open, you know, take it
• 11:11
  or leave it? So here I am bam. What route did you take?
• 11:18
  Did you go through a publishing company or did you so publish? Oh
• 11:24
  yeah, I went through Amazon KDP through them, and I went through it
• 11:30
  with my friend. She's another portum Fine Abby Durant. She's actually one of
• 11:35
  the editors from a book. So I'm like, you know what, I'm
• 11:37
  kind of new of publishing and I wanted to follow what she did, and
• 11:41
  she felt Amazon KTP was was great, so it kind of helped me and
• 11:46
  you know, put it out there. It was it was it was pretty
• 11:50
  easy, but you know that the process was, you know, it was
• 11:52
  a little challenging. But I'm just I just loved the jerb Oyeah great.
• 11:58
  Do you ever think about self publishing because I've seen people who use KDP and
• 12:05
  they love it. They have like a love hate relationship to it. So
• 12:11
  when you were deciding between KDP and self published, I guess my question would
• 12:18
  need to be what gave KDP that edge over the self published m That is
• 12:26
  a good question. I don't know. I kind of go on with my
• 12:35
  gut feeling, you know, I just I just went with how I feel
• 12:41
  inside, and I felt just Amazon KDP was the better choice because I never
• 12:46
  really did self publishing because you know, it was my first it's my first
• 12:50
  publication, so I would like to take the safe route first and then you
• 12:54
  know, if my next book I put out, maybe I might do self
• 12:58
  publishing, but now I just want to start, you know, starts a
• 13:01
  rookie, you know, start with publishing unpublished. That's absolutely fine to go
• 13:11
  with this way because you know, just your first book, this is your
• 13:13
  baby. You feel comfortable with it. So I think that was a great
• 13:18
  decision. Hey, make it do what it do. Absolutely absolutely, and
• 13:22
  it's been great so far. This cover art of yours, you know,
• 13:26
  you've got to tell me. I love the Oh my god, I knew
• 13:31
  you was going to going to discuss that. Oh, yes, I'm a
• 13:35
  reviewer. We look at everything. Yes, the accent colors and why that
• 13:46
  type. I mean it fits the book perfectly. Yes, How did you
• 13:52
  come up with that vision? Oh? Absolutely absolutely. Shout out to my
• 13:58
  graphic designer, mister Chris Kindle that created my graphics for the front and back.
• 14:03
  We actually kind of sit down and you know we discussed, you know,
• 14:07
  through a coffee you know, hanging out coffee, you know, on
• 14:09
  Saturday, and I told him I'm want to do something rise the fun to
• 14:13
  come back. I'm gonna do different colors, maybe a color that represents happiness
• 14:20
  with the yellow, black, with the darkness that we went through redemption with
• 14:26
  red, and I feel like, hmm, this would be a great idea
• 14:28
  to use some of my pictures, you know, on social media. And
• 14:33
  I told Chris, I'm like, you can choose any any photo of me
• 14:37
  and kind of you know, create the whole vision of it. And you
• 14:39
  know, he did that, and he did a fantastic the job. I
• 14:43
  wouldn't trade him for anything, Like he is a great graphic designer. Like
• 14:48
  he he executed like it just came from that. Yeah, so you're telling
• 14:54
  me the images that are on the cover of your books actually are you photos?
• 15:01
  Yes, my my actual photos from social media. Absolutely. Yes,
• 15:05
  it's crazy cool. I know, I know, Oh my god, that
• 15:13
  is awesome, you know. And I don't know how he did it that
• 15:16
  he just drew and outlined me like a silhouette basically, and these he a
• 15:24
  it was like lots of words, but he just executed like he just did
• 15:28
  his thing with this book cover. And I'm like, oh my god,
• 15:31
  this is it. This is it. Yes, you know, it's different,
• 15:33

  like. She is an amazing actress. She's not an underdark no more.
• 18:52
  I feel like she killed it. She could do comedy, she could do
• 18:56
  like emotions, she could she could just you know, get in the character.
• 18:59
  I just love her versatility, like she is everything. You know.

  legend. Oh my god, like she she played like she's matter of fact.
• 19:36
  I know we're not in black history. I know it's next year,
• 19:38
  but she is black history. The definition of black history is her. Yes.
• 19:42
  Yes, all the roles she played, Yes, from Rosa Parks to
• 19:48
  Michael Jackson Mama, to Tina Turner to she did the civil rights with Mary
• 19:55
  J. Blige, with I've got that movie called Well, Malcolm Malcolm X
• 19:59
  and Martin Luther King. She was one of the wives. Yes, Oh
• 20:03
  my god, I can't remember, but I remember. I know exactly right.
• 20:08
  I just felt like she's she is a historic. She is Oh.
• 20:14
  I was just been watching nine to one one yesterday rapping gifts. Okay,
• 20:19
  like I've seen the whole series. I'm up to dating current, but I
• 20:25
  just love it so much to the fact that I'm like, why am I
• 20:26
  stopping rapping? I know what's going to happen next. But you get so
• 20:32
  engulfed into her characters, like you bringing it okay, ye, Angela Beatson
• 20:41
  mm hmmm, chie p hereson, we got one more, one more now,
• 20:48
  this is what first started the book. We're gonna come from the later
• 20:52
  part of the book from the beginning of the book who love. Oh my
• 20:56
  god, I'm going to Tyler Perry. Typ Perry is coming in my head
• 21:02
  now, okay, hmmmm, so many actresses in my head. Oh he's
• 21:12
  just amazing, Like I love going to his place. Like you know what
• 21:17
  I will say, timbo man, he took it to the can. You
• 21:22
  took it to the can. You took it to the King because I felt
• 21:25
  the last part. Yes, because I felt the last part of my book.
• 21:29
  She then overcame. She fought through you know, the odds and being
• 21:33
  in pain, doing hurt, and I felt like her voice it's cleansing I
• 21:41
  have. We have no choice about to stop when you hear it starts singing
• 21:47
  take me to the King. I mean even the drunk man on the corner
• 21:51
  will stop because that song is just it seemed like she put everything to it,
• 21:57
  like I have no thing, that everything I have comes from you.
• 22:03
  So I'm gonna need to come see you real quick because I'm just I'm all
• 22:07
  over the place. I love that song. Me too, me too.
• 22:11
  I just love her voice. I wish I could sing like her. My
• 22:15
  god, I just love it. Oh my god, you need to go.
• 22:22
  Have you seen her in place like the top Perry plays I have.
• 22:26
  Every time I've tried to go to Tyler Perry play in Charleston, it's either
• 22:30
  I have to work or sold out, Like it doesn't make any sense.
• 22:36
  But I looked at them all on TV. Well, the last play I
• 22:41
  watched was the Medea Farewell Tour. Me and my best friend Toddy, and
• 22:45
  we went to Columbia, South Carolina at the Township Auditorium and I think they
• 22:48
  had like five shows. Yes, they didn't come to Charleston, didn't come
• 22:52
  to Charleston right right at that time, right, and I went on a
• 22:56
  Sunday, I went up there and came back home to chall the same thing.
• 23:00
  So it was worth it. It was worth it. It was it
• 23:03
  was worth it. Don't be honest when you go to the Tyler Perry media
• 23:07
  show, you better be on time, be in your seat, because did
• 23:11
  she the deal will call you out. Really just did that just for the
• 23:18
  the videos, but she really does it. She does that offscript, Like
• 23:21
  you know how Tyler Perry be going offscript like seven dirty. The show starts
• 23:26
  at seven dirty, You're supposed to be in your seat. I really thought
• 23:30
  that he was just doing that for you know the videos to you know,
• 23:36
  bring it. Oh wow, not the love, like like split that gumb
• 23:44
  out and then he'll he'll toss a box of tissue in the audience, split
• 23:47
  that gumb out. Oh I love it, I love it? Oh seven
• 23:55
  dirty seven dirty? I got another question, this one just what's up?
• 24:00
  Some people were talking about music in Tambala Man, mhmm. What song would
• 24:08
  be included on your book soundtrack? Oh? My god? You know what
• 24:17
  I would say, my favorite artist, Dollar Schard. I know, I
• 24:19
  love Faith. That's my favorite song. He never lost faith in me,
• 24:22
  dedicaated who never lost you know, encouragement in me, like believe in my
• 24:29
  dream, my goals, and ambitious in life. I would say the song
• 24:32
  called Voices, like we put a brave face on. We have a voice,
• 24:37
  and we use that for our superpower to grow bigger and better every day.
• 24:41
  You know. M So I like that. So speaking of songs,
• 24:47
  let's continue on that route. So you guys, he chose the song for
• 24:52
  his commercial and what was the title that one? Again? I know it
• 24:56
  was by missus Dawn Done. It was called faith or that okay? And
• 25:07
  I remember trying to find a song. It's like, oh, Ain't this
• 25:12
  the girl from Danny King who was sitting up there singing in the back of
• 25:15
  the car. That's right, that's right, that's her. I call her.
• 25:21
  I call her my inde version of Beyonce, like I love her to
• 25:25
  death. I went to see her live in Atlanta. She she give your
• 25:29
  money's worth like like her take us to be like thirty forty fifty dollars.
• 25:32
  But she will put on a show, she'll sing, sher dance, she
• 25:36
  will interact with the audience. She gives her all. That's what I'm talking
• 25:41
  about. So we're getting close to the end, and it's wanted to have
• 25:47
  you as my last hold. Now you could come back now we we always
