• 6:54
  Speaker 8: So it's really you know the foundation and how I
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: came up.
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying, It just and quick in
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: the mind and just continue to wanted to know more
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: about life.

  Speaker 8: All? What got me interested in who coming the author?

  Speaker 8: I be productive?
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: How can I be producting in the situations? Well it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: not beneficial for me but my family, So you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: I just continue to I felt like I had a
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: story to tell, like from my size or experience in
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: the streets in the neighborhood. It was everything that I
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: came up in the culture, how I came up.
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: You know, I saw a lot of different artists right
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: about this, So I was like, why not me? Why
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: not share this.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Story the more important, this different type of things that
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: I came to learn.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So, without sharing too much about the.
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: Book, could you give us an overview of what the
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: readers can expect when they grabbed this book.
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: Okay, So this book right here, standing on business, standing
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: on business.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: The over rude and the concept about the book is about,
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: you know, the coach of people standing on their word.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: The people it's on. It's on the crucible, people honor
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: what they seeing. You know that one trait that I
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: like that I say, it's strong in myself and that's
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: what I like in others.
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: I like people to be be direct, definitely say it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: consensily build upon it. In the book, it's about the
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: story about a young man. You know, he got the trade.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: It's not even social. You know, he came up in
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: the streets and field board and music and uh, you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: no matter what he did, he was he stood from
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: this world, you know what I'm saying. So the book
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: more precise more precisely is about film pursuing a music career.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: He got a lot of talents and very gifted, you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: I take it through the stories of it, on how
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: you all this music.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: On how you get signed, and just struggles and obstacles
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: that he's based by going.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: Up you know in music.
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: Wow, So I can gather that this book is based
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: on your life.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And some of the things that you experienced.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Well, this book is based out it's very fixed, you
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. So it's very in a novel mode. Yeah,
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: I want to say, like, it's more about what I experienced,
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: like even from others. I want to say, it's practice.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: It's not personally about me, but maybe it might have
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: been somebody who came over before me in the streets,
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, or in my neighborhood, and
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: it's traits that.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I admired in them or something that I have seen,
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: you know, you know what I'm saying.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: So I choose to share share some concepts in this
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: book and the nature that such with. Now I try
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: to leave myself out like the input of the characters.
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: You don't I'm trying to. I intended to call a
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: real fishing without not too much based off my life.
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, but experiences that people can
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: relate to, right, but giving them that even though they're
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: not real. Real characters are people that we may be
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: able that we actually know. But these experiences could be
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: experiences that we have seen or people that we know
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: have experienced them. I know, for me, when I write,
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: even though sometimes I don't, I do a lot of inspirationals.
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: But I do have some some urban litbooks. And with
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: those urban lit books, they were experiences. I share the
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: lot of things that I saw and observed when I
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: was in college that other people may not even be
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: able to experience because they didn't go to college. So
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: I took that experience and try to share it, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: try to give it life through the characters that people
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: can relate to. That that's that's what I did with
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: my not with my urban book. But I know everybody
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: have their own unique way. So what what are some
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: things that that drive you, that that push you, that
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: that that that makes you want to write? Like do
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: you do you just sit down and say, Okay, I'm
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: gonna write about this or is it just something come
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: up and you just have your notepad and you just
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: begin to write. How are you inspired to produce your work?
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Uh? You know, sometimes like you said, just like sometimes
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: if I feel really strong about it and if I
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: find it very interesting, and I might be like, you
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: know what, I think I want to write about this,
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. So it's something that I
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: find very interesting.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: Then you know.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: I jotted down in my notebook it's something to be like.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: You know, it's started as an ideal, but you know
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: sometimes like outside of that, you know, I'm just inspired
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: just to write because you know, in my environment, my
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: coaches that I came in me it's you know, I
• 12:32

• 14:32
  Speaker 8: And some.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Because I know a lot of people.
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: Sometime when we're in situations, we sometimes allow our situations
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: to keep us from you know, chasing after our dreams.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: And and I'll be.
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: The first to talk about me because there was a
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: time when I was struggling, when I wanted to.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Give up on life, and it was because of books.
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: And some children that I was working with that gave
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: me that self, that that that second win. You know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: when I was working with those kids and I was
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: looking at those kids and they didn't want to read,
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: Like I was like, why God, baby's not reading? And
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: it brought me to social media and I was able
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: to explore and meet a lot of authors, and I
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: got an opportunity to write in my first anthologies.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: This was in twenty sixteen.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: I got a chance to write in my first anthology
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: and it was so relieving and it was so like
• 15:35
  Speaker 9: never thinking that I would be an author, because you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: you don't hear about coming up from where I come from.
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: You don't hear a lot of black authors. We all
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: we saw was a lot of white authors coming up.
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: You know, then go into library and there was a
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: section of black authors. And now more we are seeing
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: more and more, but coming up, we didn't see that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: And the fact that you know, I was able to
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: walk into that, and now I can say I have
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: over one hundred and eighty literary works floating around these worlds,
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: around this world, like Amazon, Barnes, and Noble, you name it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: It's out there. And the fact that I can pour
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: into other people and let other people know that it's possible,
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: you know, and a lot of people want to know, Oh,
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: it's got to be perfect, it's got to be this,
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: it's got to be that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So when you begin to write, what was this journey like?
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Because I'm gonna tell you the first couple of books
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: I wrote, they wouldn't they wasn't the best. I mean,
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: they had some and when I look back over my books,
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: there was some errors. There was some some periods, I missed,
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: some some question marks. I missed some little things that
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: I could have done better. And you know, every time
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: I put out a piece, I try to improve. Every
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: every time I put out something, I try to improve
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: on it. And I can tell you now I'm starting
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: to think that I have I've got something and I've
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: mastered something, like I can put them out like this
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: now and it is just amazing.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: So what has your journey been.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: Like, Uh, my journey writing really, you know, has came
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: through I have read so many books I read. I
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: read a lot of novels. I read a lot of
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: knowledge based knowledge the based books. But one thing about
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: when I first started right reading early novels, I paid attention.
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: To the pattern. I paid attention to my story.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: I'm old, and I paid attention on how the author
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: is spress this express itself, du cas, how you made
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: the personality of these characters and that, you know what
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: I'm saying. So and then you know, I took I
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: watched a few videos on our tables, you know, and

  Speaker 8: They got to be able to be related. People got
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: to be them, you know what I'm saying.

  Speaker 7: the characters of the book, and least try to have
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: the story personally lives well you know what I'm saying

  Speaker 7: I had trained my mind to pay attention to different
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: patterns on how books our books, and I kind of
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: self taught myself there.

• 20:01
  Speaker 9: she does a lot of interviews with authors, and one
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: of the things that she does is she asked the authors,

  Speaker 8: M hmm, In my book would be a movie, who
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: played the main characters? Uh?

• 20:27
  Speaker 8: Main character in the book, you know. And I say
• 20:30
