  Patrisa's doing an amazing job putting this together. As you can see, we
• 12:15
  have a lot of different categories. Right now, we are unable to stream
• 12:22
  on Facebook for some reason. Streamyard is having some kind of trouble. They
• 12:28
  said they're having trouble screaming on Facebook. So hopefully you guys will see this
• 12:33
  as a replay comes back up. You guys will get a chance to see
• 12:39
  this because a lot of our followers are on Facebook, so definitely I'm gonna
• 12:46
  be probably gonna have to re air this for them. I'm gonna make the
• 12:52
  slide available for them so that they can at least go through the slide.
• 12:58
  I'll probably make some little clips of the slide of your slide so I can
• 13:03
  share it with them. Really want you guys to get involved. Take this
• 13:09
  opportunity to nominate some of your favorite individuals in the literary world. Whatever form
• 13:18
  of literature they may produce, whether it's a book, a novella, a
• 13:24
  novel, short served read, magazine, whatever it is. There's a lot
• 13:30
  of categories that you can get them involved in, podcasting, movie thrillers,
• 13:39
  whatever it is, the trailers, whatever it is, that they are using
• 13:43
  their creativity and using their gifts and their talents to be able to share in
• 13:48
  the literary world. It's all about bringing awareness to literature. You got highlighting
• 13:58
  those contributors, those creative line because y'all we've not always had this face and
• 14:11
  I'm so grateful that you know, I dropped this in my spirit in twenty
• 14:15
  twelve. Yeah, I've been doing it just that Loan. I started out
• 14:18
  with babies, working with babies and just going to the library and not being
• 14:24
  able to find these books really got me involved in writing and got me involved
• 14:31
  in trying to showcase. I tell you, Google and Facebook, they will
• 14:39
  remind you of certain things that sometimes you forget about. But I remember a
• 14:43
  lot of the events that you've been bringing up. A lot of the different
• 14:50
  events and a lot of these different things that the pandemic slowed us down and
• 14:56
  kept us from being able to do these things. But I I'm excited about
• 15:01
  twenty twenty four. We will not only get an opportunity to meet some of
• 15:05
  these amazing individuals, but we get an opportunity to showcase a lot of these
• 15:13
  individuals that we've met virtually. We actually were going to get an opportunity to
• 15:18
  come from behind the scenes and really get to network, get out in the
• 15:24
  community, and really get an opportunity to, you know, bring to light
• 15:30
  some of this stuff that you guys see on this on social media because a
• 15:35
  lot of people they be like, Nah, they really don't be doing that.
• 15:39
  Yo, we really do. We don't do we do it. And
• 15:41
  this show us our growth that we have done in just one year, the
• 15:48
  growth that we have done. I mean last year we did have what three
• 15:52
  categories. Now we got over fifteen guys and It's readers always say had we
• 16:00
  only had yeah, three categories land Woman of the Year and Poetry Author author
• 16:08
  and there, and then I think the community it was a community may had
• 16:18
  something to do with community. I think we only gave out like five or
• 16:21
  six awards overall at the most, I think. But yeah, I'm excited
• 16:30
  to be able to be able to recognize more individuals and more individuals to be
• 16:36
  able to, you know, come out to these events because I'm excited about
• 16:41
  the Chasing Your Dream Book Tour and getting back out there because the last time
• 16:48
  I actually did a book tour, I actually had a business partner and we
• 16:55
  had a whole crew of teenagers that that went to these events and helped us
• 17:02
  at these even events. So this go around, it's gonna be a little
• 17:07
  different. It's gonna be being the ambassadors. You know, don't have the
• 17:14
  teenagers because most of those stages are grown. They've graduated from college, and
• 17:21
  and those babies, most of them are in college now, are in high
• 17:25
  school, and they're not trying to tag along with Auntie angelas what they call
• 17:29
  me. But yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited about the tour. Not
• 17:37
  only are we gonna be doing the Chase Your Dream Book Tour, we also
• 17:41
  are gonna be tagging along. We're gonna have the Silently Hurt Inside Hurt No
• 17:47
  More book series gonna be tagging along on this tour. It's gonna be an
• 17:52
  opportunity for about sixty four to sixty five poets to be able to you know,
• 18:00
  share their brand to share their words. Because this last book that's gonna
• 18:04
  drop on December thirty first, it's forty of us. It's four of us
• 18:07
  in this book. There was fifteen in the first book, and then there
• 18:12
  were nine in the second book and the book that we're doing to bring awareness
• 18:18
  to those incarcerated females. I think right now I have eleven women that's a
• 18:26
  part of this project, and I was looking for thirty to fifty women to
• 18:30
  share with us on this project, just to share their words of encouragement.
• 18:36
  But however, just opportunity, opportunity. That's that's what we're presenting to everybody.
• 18:41
  Opportunity to allow yours to speak. And for those that may want to
• 18:47
  be a part of season two, the coupis we have space available. We
• 18:56
  have space available. So y'all, I'm gonna go on and get on out
• 19:03
  of here. He said, I just wanted to come on. You know,
• 19:04
  I know people be wondering what they got going on over there. Just
• 19:07
  have to sometimes just have to explain what's going on. And that was beyond
• 19:12
  my control. As'll can see, some things we can control and some things
• 19:18
  we can't. We just had to go through the motions and go through the
• 19:21
  process and that's what I do. It keeped me out twice. It would
• 19:25
  not let me control the what it was playing. It was playing that like
• 19:30
  I wasn't doing any of that, like it was like something. It was
• 19:37
  doing whatever, and then to kick me out, and then I went out.
• 19:44
  And then I was trying to send a message and wouldn't let me send
• 19:47
  a message. So I just logged out and then A looed back in and
• 19:52
  then it let me. It let me come on with no problem. But
• 19:56
  it does that. And then it said that I saw the message. It
• 19:59
  said that there was a problem screening to Facebook and they was checking the issues.
• 20:03
  I like, I don't know what's going on with stream Yard, but
• 20:08
  there's been a lot of issues with them. They just got the the echoing
• 20:14
  worked out. And it's just a lot. But when when you're doing something
• 20:18
  positive and you're doing something, you always gonna get some some traction, You
• 20:23
  always gonna get some feedback, You always gonna get something because you on track.
• 20:29
  So just know that it don't come without something, and anything worth having
• 20:37
  is worth working for. So just don't give up. That's what I tell
• 20:40
  people. Fight through it, keep pushing up. Yeah, it may get
• 20:44
  on your nerves. But I don't let it stop me. I just save
• 20:48
  me a little prayer and I go along. I need not get the enemy.
• 20:53
  No, no, it gets none. But yeah, I'm excited,
