- 9:05Speaker 2: I was just reflecting on some things as I was
- 9:09Speaker 2: preparing for this morning show, and I was listening to
- 9:13Speaker 2: some of the episodes from my Walking in Purpose with
- 9:18Speaker 2: Angela's show. As I am preparing to do my last
- 9:21Speaker 2: show on December eleventh over on WBNN, I tell you
- 9:26Speaker 2: I am grateful and I am thankful for Doctor all
- 9:29Speaker 2: that day in Gozie, who is the proprietary and our mentor.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Over on the w BNN, I tell you I joined
- 9:38Speaker 2: that network almost five years ago and it has nothing
- 9:42Speaker 2: but truly been a blessing to me. It has allowed
- 9:45Speaker 2: me to step outside my box. It allowed me to
- 9:47Speaker 2: be able to mentor and to be able to push
- 9:51Speaker 2: these amazing eight queens that you see up under me
- 9:54Speaker 2: right here, these queens that represent the crew podcast them
- 9:59Speaker 2: deva us of the airwave. I tell you I have
- 10:03Speaker 2: truly been blessed to be a part of their lives
- 10:05Speaker 2: and to be able to impoor and to impart into
- 10:09Speaker 2: them some things that have been imparted into me from
- 10:12Speaker 2: the wb n N. And I thank God for each
- 10:16Speaker 2: and every one of our journeys and our experiences, because
- 10:19Speaker 2: He allowed us the opportunity to pour into others and
- 10:23Speaker 2: to be a voice for that person that may think
- 10:26Speaker 2: that they don't have a voice. So He allow us
- 10:29Speaker 2: that opportunity. So I tell you every chance I get,
- 10:33Speaker 2: I am grateful and I have to give brother O
- 10:35Speaker 2: a shot out. And I have to honor those queens
- 10:38Speaker 2: that allow their voices to be heard. You have Queen
- 10:42Speaker 2: Shanette who is the host of Let's Talk About It,
- 10:46Speaker 2: who talks about injustice. You have Queen Latanya who delayed
- 10:52Speaker 2: but not denied. I tell you I am inspired by
- 10:57Speaker 2: her push, her dedication, and her commitment to what she
- 11:00Speaker 2: had been doing. I know sometime she may get frustrated
- 11:04Speaker 2: and she because she deals with the disability, and y'all
- 11:07Speaker 2: know when you deal and with the disability, you never
- 11:10Speaker 2: know what may happen. But I tell you she have
- 11:13Speaker 2: dealt with it with grace, and she has dealt with
- 11:16Speaker 2: it with honor, and she has done an amazing job.
- 11:20Speaker 2: She's headed into her We are heading into our third
- 11:24Speaker 2: year over on the Crew podcast. You have Simon special
- 11:29Speaker 2: shout out to her and shot special prayers for her
- 11:35Speaker 2: as she's going through with being diagnosed with a brain
- 11:41Speaker 2: tumor and having to have brain surgery. And just on
- 11:45Speaker 2: Thanksgiving she suffered a seizure. So we're definitely keeping her
- 11:50Speaker 2: lifted in prayer. But I thank God forward because she's
- 11:55Speaker 2: definitely determined. She's definitely going out her and sharing. God
- 12:01Speaker 2: gave her a message and she wanted to come and
- 12:05Speaker 2: do a podcast, so she's still during her podcast, we're
- 12:09Speaker 2: praying that, you know, God do a divine healing during
- 12:13Speaker 2: this time that we have off. She's taken the month
- 12:16Speaker 2: of December off. You will see her on our very
- 12:19Speaker 2: last show. She's gonna come and be a part of
- 12:22Speaker 2: our very last show and you get an opportunity to
- 12:26Speaker 2: say your hellos, well wishes and you know, send some
- 12:34Speaker 2: hugs and and and and and energy to her as

- 12:40Speaker 2: along with the rest of the host Black Diamond Doctor
- 12:43Speaker 2: Chinchira for Trece Trevida some amazing queens that represent them
- 12:49Speaker 2: Divas of the Airways. I tell you they definitely have
- 12:52Speaker 2: walked into that name because they are definitely some divas
- 12:57Speaker 2: in their own right. I tell you they definitely amplify
- 13:01Speaker 2: sisterhood collaboration. They amplify everything that people have said that
- 13:10Speaker 2: as brown queens, we couldn't do. You know, they said
- 13:14Speaker 2: we can't work together. They've said it for years and
- 13:16Speaker 2: I have been that one that said okay, but since
- 13:19Speaker 2: they keep saying that, we just have to show them,
- 13:21Speaker 2: so I didn't talk. I just just just just built
- 13:24Speaker 2: different things and just brought people together. And you know,
- 13:29Speaker 2: even though people may have come and gone, you know,
- 13:31Speaker 2: it's still you know, help them learn how to you know,
- 13:35Speaker 2: collaborate and how to you know build. And even though
- 13:39Speaker 2: people may leave you that that that that bond, that
- 13:44Speaker 2: that circle, that that collaboration is never gonna leave because
- 13:48Speaker 2: there's always gonna be a mark. You gotta think that
- 13:51Speaker 2: everything that you do is blueprinted, whether it lasts forever.
- 13:55Speaker 2: And we have to understand too that there's a reason
- 13:59Speaker 2: in a season for everything that we do. So don't
- 14:03Speaker 2: get upset. Sometime when people walk away, when people are
- 14:08Speaker 2: not engaging in the things that you're doing, maybe it's
- 14:11Speaker 2: not the season for them. Even though it may be
- 14:14Speaker 2: the season for you, it may not be the season
- 14:17Speaker 2: for them. So don't allow them to stop you from
- 14:19Speaker 2: doing what you're doing. You have to keep pressing, you
- 14:22Speaker 2: have to keep showing up, you have to keep doing
- 14:25Speaker 2: the things that you're doing. If you are a poet,
- 14:28Speaker 2: I want you to get connected to our Poet of
- 14:32Speaker 2: the Year competition. Right now we are currently taking nominations.

- 25:42Speaker 2: it's an initiative, it's it's something that we're trying to
- 25:45Speaker 2: bring us together, to bring a highlight to us because
- 25:49Speaker 2: we are not being recognized like we should. We're not
- 25:52Speaker 2: in the main forefront like we should be. We don't
- 25:56Speaker 2: get the TV recognition like we should be on main screen.
- 26:00Speaker 2: So we as media personalities and we as leaders, a
- 26:05Speaker 2: lot of us, we have decided that we're gonna take
- 26:07Speaker 2: the initiative to do these things ourselves, and we've pulled
- 26:11Speaker 2: around our community. We've asked, you know what we want
- 26:14Speaker 2: to see, and these are some of the things that
- 26:16Speaker 2: our community want to see. They want to know who
- 26:18Speaker 2: these brown and black authors are. So this is your

- 26:48Speaker 2: Of course, some of these things may come with the price,
- 26:50Speaker 2: because we can't do everything for free, because again, our
- 26:53Speaker 2: time is valuable and we have to understand that. But
- 26:56Speaker 2: we are provided an opportunity for you to allow your
- 27:00Speaker 2: brand to be seen and heard around the world. So
- 27:04Speaker 2: a lot of people ask, Okay, so what are some
- 27:07Speaker 2: of the benefits of being one of the one hundred authors.
- 27:11Speaker 2: So one of the benefits is you're gonna have a
- 27:14Speaker 2: feature on our block that you're gonna be able to
- 27:18Speaker 2: share that. People are gonna be able to find out

- 29:29Speaker 2: I'm able to provide you with a professional look and
- 29:34Speaker 2: a professional I try to move an excellence, So I
- 29:37Speaker 2: want to make sure that I'm providing excellence and the
- 29:39Speaker 2: things that I provide for you guys. So promotions, advertisement,
- 29:45Speaker 2: the flyers, it covers that we're also going to be
- 29:49Speaker 2: providing interviews. We're gonna be setting up once we have
- 29:52Speaker 2: all of the one hundred authors throughout twenty twenty five, y'all,
- 29:55Speaker 2: you're gonna have an opportunity to do interviews. You're gonna
- 29:58Speaker 2: have opportunity to refeature their magazine, not just Aspiring Authors magazine.
- 30:02Speaker 2: That's the thing. It's not just about Aspiring Authors magazine.
- 30:05Speaker 2: We are connected to other magazines because again I like
- 30:09Speaker 2: to collaborate. I love to collaboration, y'all Queen a collaboration.
- 30:14Speaker 2: That's why they call me that. That's the name of
- 30:15Speaker 2: my business, Queen of Collaboration, Life, coaching, and Consulting. I
- 30:19Speaker 2: love to collaborate. I want to see everybody that's a
- 30:23Speaker 2: part of my circle winning. So the only way we
- 30:27Speaker 2: all can win is if we're all winning. So we
- 30:29Speaker 2: all got to win. I can't win and my team
- 30:32Speaker 2: not winning, so everybody got to win. So that's what
- 30:36Speaker 2: we're doing over here. We're pouring into each other. Where
- 30:40Speaker 2: I may be weak, you may be strong. So where
- 30:42Speaker 2: I may have areas where I may need assistance, you
- 30:45Speaker 2: may be able to help me. And then there may
- 30:48Speaker 2: be areas where you may need help. I may not
- 30:51Speaker 2: be able to help you, but there may be someone
- 30:53Speaker 2: else in our team, in our circle that may be
- 30:56Speaker 2: able to help. And that's what it's all about. If
- 30:58Speaker 2: we don't know what we all got going on and
- 31:02Speaker 2: how we can help each other, then we can't help
- 31:04Speaker 2: each other. But if we put it out there, then
- 31:07Speaker 2: it's there. So this is an opportunity. If you're out there,
- 31:10Speaker 2: if you not interested in being a part of it,
- 31:13Speaker 2: if you know an author that may be interested in
- 31:16Speaker 2: being a part, allow them the opportunity by sharing it
- 31:19Speaker 2: with them, posting it on your page, talking about it,
- 31:23Speaker 2: tagging them. It's simple things that help. And then throughout
- 31:29Speaker 2: this process, throughout being a part of the one hundred authors,
- 31:33Speaker 2: you're gonna have an opportunity to learn the different things.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Because one thing about me is I don't sit down
- 31:39Speaker 2: on opportunities when they are presented to me. I like
- 31:41Speaker 2: to present them to other people because I want to
- 31:44Speaker 2: see everybody winning. I want to see everybody doing something.
- 31:47Speaker 2: So there's gonna be a lot of opportunities, a lot
- 31:51Speaker 2: of things that are shared throughout this process, throughout this journey.
- 31:55Speaker 2: So if you know authors, y'all, let's get these one
- 31:57Speaker 2: hundred authors so we can go ahead and get to work.
- 32:00Speaker 2: And because it's gonna take all of us to be
- 32:02Speaker 2: able to execute this plan and to execute this thing,
- 32:06Speaker 2: this vision that I have for you, guys, when I
- 32:08Speaker 2: tell you one hundred authors to watch, it's more than
- 32:14Speaker 2: just about a nomination and about a certificate or about
- 32:19Speaker 2: an award or about any of that. It's about you,
- 32:23Speaker 2: your brand, and about individuals truly seeing who you are
- 32:27Speaker 2: and what you're doing. So if you're out there, you're
- 32:29Speaker 2: an author and you want to be a part, you're
- 32:31Speaker 2: going to have an opportunity. Just like with the poet,
- 32:35Speaker 2: there's going to be an opportunity for you to be
- 32:39Speaker 2: to host your own show on fifth Wednesday. I think
- 32:45Speaker 2: it's fifth wind States. It's either fifth Wednesdays or fifth Tuesdays.
- 32:48Speaker 2: I can't remember, but I will let you know. It's
- 32:51Speaker 2: either the fifth Tuesday or fifth Wednesdays of each month,
- 32:54Speaker 2: which is probably about four months. I think. I think
- 32:57Speaker 2: all of them had for for slots, but I will
- 33:02Speaker 2: definitely let you guys know more in detail. All of
- 33:06Speaker 2: this stuff that I'm sharing with you guys right now,
- 33:09Speaker 2: it's gonna be in a format y'all know. I like
- 33:11Speaker 2: to put everything down so there's no miscommunication that everything
- 33:15Speaker 2: is right there. Just just take time to just read
- 33:18Speaker 2: the Just read it. Sometimes it may be a lot,
- 33:21Speaker 2: but just take time to read it. Because one thing
- 33:23Speaker 2: about me is I try to make sure that everything
- 33:26Speaker 2: is there so there's no confusion. That there's no so
- 33:29Speaker 2: we don't have to go back and forth. That it's
- 33:31Speaker 2: right there. So just take time to just read it,
- 33:34Speaker 2: and then if you have questions y'all. I always put
- 33:36Speaker 2: my number on the forms. Do not hesitate to call me.
- 33:41Speaker 2: If you have a question, if there's something in the
- 33:44Speaker 2: back of your mind and you just want to know,
- 33:46Speaker 2: pick up the phone and call me. I'm just that
- 33:49Speaker 2: old school. I don't mind having a conversation. Sometimes we

- 34:00Speaker 2: the call. If my numbers there, trust me, is there
- 34:02Speaker 2: for a reason, Kyle, have no problem with that. Again, opportunity,
