  Speaker 3: vivid stories with crazy cliffhangers. And I am obsessed with
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: nineties R and B in early two thousands.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: See that's why I mean after that, remember what you said,
• 4:27

• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you know, we read a lot.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Of boring.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Books and then I was just like, this is so whack.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And then a friend of mine introduced me to I'm
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Sister Soldier. So my first real urban book was like
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: everybody else post one to ever. And then I read
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: fly Girl and it just it was a snowball effect
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: after that, and I was just like, oh, these books
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: is crazy. I think growing up in New York could
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: write something like this. And I think it was like
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: two thousand and one.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I was on MSN.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I'm telling my age right now, but I was on
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: MSN and there was like this fan fiction group, so
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I dabbled in it and I wrote like a little
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: short story about B two K members and it got
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of attention. And from then on I was
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: just you know, dabble hearing their right little short stories.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Never really took it serious. And then.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: In twenty twenty, my best friend passed away, and you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: kind of to pay homage to her, I continued the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: stories that we used to write together, and in twenty
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: twenty two I got the courage to actually self publish.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It and I just been doing it ever since.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Wow, So how many books do you have in your
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: catalog right now?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I have two novellas, which is Closure and Beautifully Shattered.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: And then I did take part in the twenty twenty
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: five Just Read anthology with AA Lewis, Cassandra Charle, Kaylin Hunt.

• 7:09

• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the replay and write them all down, especially.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Lewis Louise You're bad boy as Yeah, I feel like
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: that's she not for nothing.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: She she really gave me a lot of encouragement last
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: year during Bray, during the Brave Festival, she she pushed
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: me and she was just like, listen twenty twenty twenty
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: twenty five Brave Festival, I need you. She was like,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not even playing with you, like we're gonna be
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: celebrating you. And I was just like, Okay, I'm gonna
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: stop being scary and really do it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Listen. I love Brave. I love ray. I have someone
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be in the Brave Festival, and I love it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It's a great way to introduce authors and readers together.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And I just asked, if you are a reader and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you're participating in Bray, the least she can do is
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: leave a review. Yes, that's the least she can do
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: is leave a review. Now, if you want to do more,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you can share the book in box of the authors
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: say hey, thank you, because a lot of these authors
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: don't get thank you. They don't mm hm, and they
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: work be Oh my god, and y'all wait to y'all
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: see her covers because y'all don I'm a cover checks,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you know, and I look at these covers all day.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm ready to get to these books. So what
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: what is your motivation for your right?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: It's an escape. For me, it's you know, it's therapeutic
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: for me. So when I'm going through something, I'll just
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: get lost in the characters and just right right, right,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: right right.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: And I typically like to.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Incorporate some type of autoimmune disease in the books because
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of us Brown women and men deal with
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: these autoimmune diseases and nobody understands what we're going through.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: So I kind of want to shed light to that
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: because people are looking at me and be like, Oh,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: you're not sick, there's nothing wrong with you. You don't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: know half of what autoimmune disease does to a person mentally, physically, emotionally.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: So when I'm in that mode, when I'm going through
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: a crisis or something and I feel like nobody will understand,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I put that in the characters because they understand what
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I'm going through, I guess because it's me writing it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: So I like that. I like that, and it rais awareness.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: That's very smart and very creepy. Have you ever had
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: your readers come to you and what do they say
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to you?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Some people ask me like, well, are these things that
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: you went through dealing with your lucas? And I'm just like, yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: you know, it gets scary. But it's not just me.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I have friends who have sickle cell. I have friends
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: who have a mess. So sometimes I take things that
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: they have gone through with their permission, and I'll put
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: my own little twist to it to like you said,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: bring awareness to the things. The invisible diseases is what
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I call them.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so let's go to these books of yours,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: looking here, looking here, y'all, especially that Closure. So which
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: one would you like to start off first? And tell
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: us a little bit about We could start.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: With Closure because technically it's not a series, but Beautifully
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Shattered has a lot to do with Closure, so it's
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: easier to start with Closure and then go into Beautifully Shattered.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, so tell us a little bit about Closure.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: So Closure is a second chance romance with a lot
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: of unexpected events. They Derek and Shakima were dating in
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: high school and then you know, they went their separate ways,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: but the universe said their story wasn't finished. So they
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: run into each other and they find out well not
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: they Derek finds out a little secret, and that secret
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: kind of rocks his world and shifts his life's path.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: And they attempt to rekindle a relationship, but Derek has
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: a girlfriend and she's not too fond of him rekindling
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: that relationship. And then, you know, towards the end of
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: the book, we find out some things about the girlfriend.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: And it gets a little crazy, you know, a lot.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Of shocks and surprises and people are not who they
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: say they are, and then their secret babies and stuff
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: so after while, No, honestly, I've had a person that
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: read the book. She read the book last year, but
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: you know she's she works in the school district. So
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: she was just like, well, it took me some time
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: to actually like sit down and read it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: And I literally got a phone call, not an inbox,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: not a text message, I got a phone call, and
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: it was just like, where's the rest of the book?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: He is Diamond, And do we need to pull up
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: on her for real? Like this needs to be on
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: to b or b et.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Plus or something.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Somebody gets Tyler Perry on the phone right now, because
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: absolutely not.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: And then the way that I ended it, people.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Were really like, no, no, no, no, no, no no, You're
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: not just gonna end it like this, where's.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: The rest of this? What happens? So then comes Beautifully Shattered.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Oh see, you please don't make me find out where
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you love as much? But you love close now, so
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: let's talk about it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: So Beautifully Shattered is Diamond? Sorry, Diamond is the girlfriend
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: of Derek.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: In Closure and Beautifully.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Shattered, we find out why Diamond is obsessed with Derek.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: We dive into her childhood, the traumas that she faced
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: as a child, and then once she realizes that Derek
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: wants Shakima and not her, she takes drastic, drastic measures
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: to get her man back. And when I say drastic,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I mean drastic, like flying across the country and creating
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: a whole new life just to be with this man.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't it. Yeah, Derek is that guy?
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, okay, so oh okay. So so let me
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: find out. So if you had to choose either one
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: of these two books to give to.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Me, which one would you choose? And why?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Which one would I choose? I would say Closure.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I would say Closure because you have to read Closure
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: to understand Beautifully Shattered. So it's gonna make you go
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: get beautifully shattered.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, so you're telling me I should go get closure.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: This Closure is gonna make me want to read beautiful
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: truly Shattered. But what if I want this, this this
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: book boy trained for myself. I'm not gonna want to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: read beautifully Shattered. Becau see, I might have to hurt
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: her trying to come and get my man.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: No, because you'll understand why she clung to him the
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: way that she did. It's it's it's gonna from from
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: what I have been told it's gonna take you on.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Closure is gonna take you on an emotional roller coaster.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: And the cliff hanger ending is gonna make you go wait,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, wait now
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: what happened? Okay, yeah, so we need to go figure
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: out why Diamond is cuckoo for Coco Pups because she's
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: not right in the head. I'll tell you that now,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: she's not right in the head.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, she wanted him one.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's that. My me and my man, my man.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, them the scary ones because them the one that
• 17:56

• 18:15
  Speaker 1: getting close to that little closing period. But member, I
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: told you that we had some fun questions. Mm hmm, yes,
• 18:25

  Speaker 1: Ooh, why Pam?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I would pick to Sheena Arnold one because her sister
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: has Lucas, so I'm definitely gonna throw that in there too,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: because she's so stubborn, like she didn't want nobody to

• 21:48
  Speaker 1: calling and said, you know, we love that, we love
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this combination. Closure was a hit, but now we need
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a soundtrack. That's that one song that would represent beautifully
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: simplifying the part two? What song would represent book two?
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: From the did you choose that's from the nineties.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Relia, the one I Gave My Heart too?
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: And why did you choose that one? Because that's that's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: a that's a strong song. Now, that's one of them
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: wailing snot coming down your nose type song. Back in
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the days where we didn't know what we were singing about,
• 22:40

  Speaker 3: my heart so bad? How could the one who made
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: me happy make me feel so sad? That is diamond
• 22:57

• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, lifetime call again. They say, you know what, the

• 24:20
  Speaker 3: and she could sing and dance.
