- 22:07Speaker 1: to write for the community section. We have three amazing
- 22:11Speaker 1: writers for the community section already, but we're always looking
- 22:15Speaker 1: for more input, more things about the community. We have
- 22:20Speaker 1: individuals that write about grief, that write about gratitude, that
- 22:24Speaker 1: write about you name it, whatever it's laid on their heart,

- 22:44Speaker 1: can write around that theme if you like, But it's
- 22:48Speaker 1: all in your perspective and what you think, your thoughts,
- 22:56Speaker 1: and then you do the research and we go from there.
- 23:00Speaker 1: But we're always looking for writers. Again, we are looking
- 23:04Speaker 1: for writers for the business section, and I always I'm
- 23:14Speaker 1: looking for individuals that would like to write in the
- 23:18Speaker 1: community section of the magazine because we can never to
- 23:26Speaker 1: talk too much about the community. Cornell, welcome back. I
- 23:32Speaker 1: was over here where you were talking and then you
- 23:36Speaker 1: just went you went out, So I was over here
- 23:39Speaker 1: just talking to everybody, just just sharing a little about
- 23:43Speaker 1: a little bit about some of the things that we're
- 23:46Speaker 1: looking for as far as the media, the media part
- 23:50Speaker 1: of the network, the magazine and the different things that
- 23:56Speaker 1: we have opened for the Pie Cast, the magazine and
- 24:02Speaker 1: things of that nature. Okay, but Cornell is back, y'all,
- 24:08Speaker 1: so we can pick up what we left out he
- 24:11Speaker 1: was talking about. I don't remember what we were talking about,
- 24:15Speaker 1: but y'all know me. I'm always open and engaged in conversations.
- 24:21Speaker 1: So hey, welcome back Cornell.
- 24:23Speaker 5: Well, yes, ma'am.
- 24:25Speaker 4: But I've learned a.
- 24:26Speaker 5: Lot from and being a part of the Fool podcast man.
- 24:30Speaker 5: You know, I've learned a lot about principles.
- 24:32Speaker 4: I've learned a lot.
- 24:33Speaker 5: About how to be a voice for those that's behind
- 24:36Speaker 5: the laws, and you know, for the community, how to
- 24:39Speaker 5: be a part of a community by myself past and African.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Wow. Well that that that is the whole gist of
- 24:54Speaker 1: what we do. Our whole thing is to be an
- 24:58Speaker 1: outlet and to be able to help individuals provide a
- 25:05Speaker 1: space for that voice, because not oftentimes everybody know what
- 25:10Speaker 1: to say and how to say it and who to
- 25:13Speaker 1: say it to. So, y'all, I guess they don't want
- 25:16Speaker 1: them over there doing no podcasting tonight. Somebody say they
- 25:23Speaker 1: don't got hipped to them over there in Texas, and
- 25:26Speaker 1: they don't start blocking them. So as y'all can see that,
- 25:31Speaker 1: he keeps dropping so we gonna keep it pushing though, y'all,
- 25:35Speaker 1: We're gonna keep it pushing. We're gonna keep it pushing.
- 25:38Speaker 1: But again, I was just saying, we are outlet. We
- 25:45Speaker 1: want to be an outlet for those that think that
- 25:47Speaker 1: they don't have a voice, because for a long time,
- 25:51Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna speak from from from me, for
- 25:55Speaker 1: a long time, I did not think I had a voice,
- 25:58Speaker 1: because you're talking about a country girl from a place
- 26:03Speaker 1: called Leveland, South Carolina. I lived on the street that
- 26:07Speaker 1: was one way in and one way out. Everybody on
- 26:09Speaker 1: my street was either my first cousin or my second cousin.
- 26:13Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna say we were the most well
- 26:17Speaker 1: off people, but we were well out enough to not
- 26:22Speaker 1: know that we were poor. If we were poor, how
- 26:25Speaker 1: about that. I can say that I didn't have the
- 26:33Speaker 1: greatest life, but I didn't have the worst life. I
- 26:36Speaker 1: could say my mother provided, and even when she didn't provide,
- 26:42Speaker 1: I didn't know she didn't provide because it was always
- 26:45Speaker 1: a roof over my head and I always had food
- 26:47Speaker 1: on my table, so I didn't know if it was
- 26:53Speaker 1: But as I grew, I learned that a lot of
- 26:59Speaker 1: times you were in a place where you don't have
- 27:02Speaker 1: a voice, you don't have an outlet to share. For
- 27:07Speaker 1: many years, I helped many things inside because I had
- 27:13Speaker 1: no one to talk to. I had no one to
- 27:17Speaker 1: release these things to, had no one to explain to
- 27:22Speaker 1: me the different feelings, emotions, and different things that I
- 27:26Speaker 1: was going through. You know, I lost my mom twelve
- 27:29Speaker 1: days after my sixteenth birthday. You know, all I knew
- 27:34Speaker 1: was to be strong, So I never really grieved. I
- 27:38Speaker 1: never really knew that what that process was like. So
- 27:44Speaker 1: when you go through these things, and you deal with
- 27:47Speaker 1: these things, you don't know. So as you continue to
- 27:53Speaker 1: grow and these things continue to pile up, they continue
- 27:56Speaker 1: to build up, it begins to affect your mental health.
- 28:01Speaker 2: And then.
- 28:03Speaker 1: If you don't know what mental health is. And then
- 28:06Speaker 1: for a lot of us Brown people, and I'm just
- 28:09Speaker 1: gonna talk about me in my upbringing, for a lot
- 28:12Speaker 1: of us, we've always been told to pray about it.
- 28:16Speaker 1: We've always been told to go slap some all on it. Well,
- 28:20Speaker 1: it didn't work for me, y'all praying about it, slapping
- 28:23Speaker 1: all on it, it didn't work. I still had those issues,
- 28:27Speaker 1: Those issues still fester, those things still bothered me, those
- 28:30Speaker 1: things were still underlining, those things were still going on.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I've been in church all my life. My great grandfather
- 28:39Speaker 1: was a pastor. I set up under so many I
- 28:42Speaker 1: set up many, so many, I set up under so much,
- 28:50Speaker 1: and it just it.
- 28:52Speaker 2: It did not, It did not.
- 28:54Speaker 1: It just praying did not work. So I began to
- 29:02Speaker 1: not until I went through domestic violence that I realized
- 29:05Speaker 1: that I really had issues that I really needed to
- 29:09Speaker 1: deal with, and that I really needed to let let
- 29:13Speaker 1: them out and let them go so that I could
- 29:16Speaker 1: truly heal. Because a lot of times we are we
- 29:19Speaker 1: after times say that we heal, but yet we just
- 29:22Speaker 1: putting on another mask. And then of the times we'll
- 29:26Speaker 1: say we're unmasking. Yet we think we're unmasking, yet we're
- 29:31Speaker 1: just putting on another mask on top of the mask,
- 29:34Speaker 1: on top of the mask that we already have. But
- 29:38Speaker 1: we've learned how to wear these masks so well. We've
- 29:42Speaker 1: learned how to just fit in and and and and
- 29:48Speaker 1: these masks then become a part of our our our
- 29:54Speaker 1: our beautiful being. And then they become when we look
- 30:00Speaker 1: in the mirror, it becomes a part of us, and
- 30:05Speaker 1: we no longer see the mask, because then now it's
- 30:09Speaker 1: now our face. It is now that that image that
- 30:14Speaker 1: we're seeing on the other side of that mirror that
- 30:18Speaker 1: we're looking at. So I tell you I truly enjoyed
- 30:28Speaker 1: Matters of the Heart this weekend. And I'd be the
- 30:33Speaker 1: first to tell you guys that when God dropped that
- 30:36Speaker 1: in my spirit, I did not know. I just put
- 30:38Speaker 1: it out there. And did I know that it would
- 30:43Speaker 1: be most of the Crew podcast that was gonna sign
- 30:48Speaker 1: up and be a part of it.
- 30:49Speaker 3: No, I did not.
- 30:51Speaker 1: But when they started saying they wanted to be a
- 30:53Speaker 1: part of it, I couldn't turn them away. And did
- 30:56Speaker 1: I know that our apostle and should both would end
- 31:01Speaker 1: up a part of the Crew podcast. Two of my
- 31:07Speaker 1: faithful prayer warriors from five a m Prayer are now
- 31:12Speaker 1: a part of the Crew podcasts. Who are the thought
- 31:18Speaker 1: not only a part of the Crew podcast, but we're
- 31:21Speaker 1: able to be a part of the Matters of the
- 31:24Speaker 1: Heart this weekend, And truly, I tell you I was blessed.
- 31:27Speaker 1: If y'all didn't get a chance to attend it live
- 31:30Speaker 1: and hear these amazing queens, I'm telling you, y'all go
- 31:34Speaker 1: back and check out the replay. I'm telling you gonna
- 31:37Speaker 1: have to watch it in intervals, because y'all, we was
- 31:40Speaker 1: on there for almost three hours, two and a half,
- 31:44Speaker 1: almost three hours, really pouring from the heart sharing And
- 31:51Speaker 1: I tell you, it's nothing like seeing my sisters. I
- 31:57Speaker 1: got to see my half paint in action. Chevida is Harris.
- 32:03Speaker 1: I'm telling you, she did her thing, y'all, And I
- 32:09Speaker 1: tell you it's nothing like I'm proud, proud sister, proud
- 32:14Speaker 1: big sister, one of the proud big sister moments. See,
- 32:18Speaker 1: I got the chance to be the little sister and
- 32:20Speaker 1: the big sister on Saturday because I had Shaniya and
- 32:26Speaker 1: Chevida on there, and then I had my Mama Black Diamond,
- 32:32Speaker 1: my Mama Apostle. Then I had my big sister Shanette,
- 32:39Speaker 1: and a big sister Alma. I tell you, I truly
- 32:43Speaker 1: was blessed by being able to be in the midst
- 32:47Speaker 1: of what took place on Saturday, and then on Sunday
- 32:53Speaker 1: had another opportunity to be in the midst of some
- 32:58Speaker 1: amazing author and creatives. Now that we talk about authors
- 33:04Speaker 1: and creatives, Cornew, I'm glad I got a chance to
- 33:07Speaker 1: have you on the line because you are a part
- 33:10Speaker 1: of the one hundred author movement, and you are one
- 33:14Speaker 1: of the authors that are incarcerated, and I'm reaching out
- 33:18Speaker 1: to if you have a family member, loved one, sister, brother, uncle,
- 33:24Speaker 1: anybody that's an author and they may be incarcerated and
- 33:28Speaker 1: they are looking to help get their books out there
- 33:31Speaker 1: and share their books. This is an opportunity for them
- 33:34Speaker 1: to connect with a movement other like minded individuals that
- 33:39Speaker 1: can help push their book and get their book out there. See,
- 33:43Speaker 1: when you work, what we're doing, it's all a process
- 33:48Speaker 1: and everything that I'm showing, everything that i'm sharing, y'all,
- 33:53Speaker 1: it ain't something that I ain't done for myself or
- 33:56Speaker 1: something that i'm learning in my study. It I'm four
- 34:04Speaker 1: how many I'm five weeks in now, because we're a
- 34:06Speaker 1: week five, I'm five weeks into getting ready to walk
- 34:11Speaker 1: with my masters, y'all. I'm done and in less than
- 34:16Speaker 1: six weeks I'm done. So what I'm learning in these classes, y'all,
- 34:20Speaker 1: don't think I'm not sharing it like what I'm gonna
- 34:23Speaker 1: hold on to it for what I'm gonna be able
- 34:25Speaker 1: to do with it. So everything that I'm taking in,
- 34:29Speaker 1: everything that I'm grasping, everything that i'm learning, y'all, I'm
- 34:33Speaker 1: bringing it back and I'm sharing it. I'm sharing it
- 34:36Speaker 1: in these challenges that we're doing. I'm sharing it, you know.
- 34:42Speaker 1: And I look at a lot of the comments. I
- 34:45Speaker 1: don't respond back. I don't say nothing, but y'all, sometimes
- 34:50Speaker 1: we just gotta we just gotta we just gotta improvise.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Sometimes we gotta learn how to adapt. Sometimes we gotta
- 34:58Speaker 1: learn how to to to make moves and ask questions later.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Like this is a season where if you know you
- 35:12Speaker 1: want five thousand dollars to be in your bank account,
- 35:16Speaker 1: then you know you got to do five thousand dollars
- 35:18Speaker 1: worth work for them five thousand dollars to show up,
- 35:21Speaker 1: because they ain't just gonna show up. Because if you
- 35:25Speaker 1: keep going to that bank and thanking, you're gonna pull
- 35:27Speaker 1: out five thousand dollars. You're gonna keep coming back empty handed.
- 35:30Speaker 1: And every time you go with the same thing, you're
- 35:32Speaker 1: gonna come back with the same thing. So if you
- 35:35Speaker 1: ain't doing nothing to put nothing in, guess what, you're
- 35:39Speaker 1: gonna continue to get nothing out. So I'm telling you,
- 35:46Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you, like my apostle, I always
- 35:48Speaker 1: say that that you do for others, God to do
- 35:52Speaker 1: for you. I'm gonna say it again for that person in.
- 35:58Speaker 2: The back, that that you do for others God to
- 36:08Speaker 2: do for you.
- 36:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it to that one them over there,
- 36:12Speaker 1: that you do for others, God would do for you.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Did you get it?
- 36:22Speaker 3: Did you get it? Did you get it?
- 36:25Speaker 1: Okay? I think we got it now, y'all. I think
- 36:27Speaker 1: we own the road. I think we own the road now.
- 36:32Speaker 1: So remember, because I said I was gonna be on
- 36:35Speaker 1: here long, and here I am over thirty minutes, y'all.
- 36:40Speaker 1: There's a lot that we can do to help each other.
- 36:45Speaker 1: We are in this together, y'all. You're not on this
- 36:50Speaker 1: journey by yourself. Know that, okay, Know that you have
- 36:56Speaker 1: so many people that are cheered for you. Guess what,
- 37:02Speaker 1: We probably call your name out at five am prayer
- 37:04Speaker 1: every morning. If you ask for prayer and you got
- 37:09Speaker 1: on our prayer list, we call your name out every
- 37:12Speaker 1: morning at five am. So guess what. Be expecting God
- 37:17Speaker 1: to move on your behalf. Just be listening to the
- 37:21Speaker 1: Holy Spirit to leave God and direct you. He said
- 37:26Speaker 1: he left the comfort, He left you everything you need. See, y'all.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Just alioned, and y'all we'll be back tomorrow, y'all. We
- 37:38Speaker 1: on every night Sunday through Friday, eight pm. We back, y'all,
- 37:46Speaker 1: were back. We are prayer. We'll see y'all tomorrow with Patrice.
