• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you saw some amazing individuals just flashing on the screen.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Y'all.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Those are some amazing creative individuals. They are authors, they
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: are playwrights, they are publishers, they are podcasters. They are
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just some amazing black and brown creative in the creative
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: world and the literary space. And over here at Aspiring
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Authors Magazine, we are honoring them in their space.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: We are honoring them for.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Where they are, what they are achieving, and what we
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: hope they will achieve as they continue on this journey.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm just excited to be able to be the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: visionary behind some of these amazing things that's taking place
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and allowing the opportunity to share some of these amazing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: individuals with you, guys. I'm excited. If you are an
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: author or a publisher, a creative however you operate in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the literary world, if you're looking for a family to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: connect with someone that truly believes in connecting, collaborating, creating,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and community building. That's what we're doing over here with
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the one hundred Author Movement. We still have space for you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We have about fifty four more spaces available. So if
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you're out there, if you're hearing this, or if you
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: know someone that may be interested, please, by all means,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I want to I want you to share this with them,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: share this video, or just share the message. Let them
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: know what we're doing over here at the one hundred
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: off the Movement. We keep off this movement last year
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in October towards the end of twenty twenty four. We
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just wanted to be a space where individuals, no matter
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: where you are on this journey, and no matter how
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: many books you had, or if you were publishing, if
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you had not already publish, if you were just a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: part of anthologies, but we just wanted to provide a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: space where individuals could truly connect authentically and share resources,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: share what may have worked for them, what may have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: not worked for them, and to you their expertise to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: help others as they climb up and as they grow,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: because remember, as you elevate, someone has to fill your space.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So as you elevate to the next level, you should
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: be helping groom someone, nurture someone, develop someone else so
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that they may be able to take that space that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you are leaving unoccupied, because once you move from that space,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: someone is gonna need to occupy that space because there's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: still gonna be some needs that's gonna need to be
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: met at that level. So as you grow, don't forget
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: where you came from. Always remember that you should be
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: pulling someone up. As you are continually to grow, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: should be helping someone else grow alone. This journey, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: call it teach one, each one, teach one, help one,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: however you want to do it, because I believe in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that saying hurt people hurt, But I believe that heal
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: people can heal also, And if you are healing and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: growing and developing, you should be able to be helping
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: someone else he'll grow and develop as well. So with
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that being said, y'all, I'm excited to be launching this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: new project in July. It's something that I already do,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but I'm just launching another branch of it, and I'm

• 16:47
  Speaker 1: have to give a shot to my bestie, Patrice Grimball
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: from Charleston, South Carolina. When I asked her, y'all, she
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: graciously said, yes, took on something that she probably did
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: not want to do at the time. But when I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: tell y'all, she is truly healthy down and truly made
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it not just something, but it is also a part
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of her brand, something that she was already working on,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and she's really taking it and has really developed it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Into something amazing.

• 17:23
  Speaker 1: by this amazing queen, y'all go get your book review.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: It may take her a minute because she did lose
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: some book reviewers.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: We had one that passed away, but she did lose
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: some book reviewers and she's looking to build her team back.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So if you're out there, if you're hearing this, and

  Speaker 1: System in South Carolina. She does an amazing job there.

  Speaker 1: you are in the local area, you may be able

• 20:39
  Speaker 1: share your brand. I'm not gonna make these these promises
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that everybody else made, but all I can say is
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that if you connect with the one hundred author movement,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be an opportunity for you to connect with
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: individuals that don't mind sharing, that don't mind supporting, that
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: don't mind. If I get nominated for something, you better
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: believe I'm bringing it to the group, and I'm telling
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: everybody else in the group how they can get nominated
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: for it too, And I'm sharing inside of the group
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: because if I win, I want you to win too.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And vice versus. That's what everybody do.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And when we have projects, we invite the group, those
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that are in the group to be a part of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: those projects first before we even make it public, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: then we make it public, but it's an opportunity for
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: you to get firsthand what If we fill up the.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Space, there's gonna be ninety nine other individuals like you.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And what is happening is for those that may find
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it overwhelming, they may find it too much for them,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they may not be able to act on everything. You know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you can be an inactive member. You can still be
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a part of everything that we're doing as an inactive member.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That means that if you're inactive, were gonna still recognize you,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: We're still gonna let people know that you're a part
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of what we're doing. But it's up to you to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: stay involved as far as when we have activities and stuff.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So if you're inactive, it's not my responsibility to extra
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: reach out to you. If you're active, then I'm gonna
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: make sure that you're involved in the things that we're doing.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But if you're inactive, then it's your responsibility to make
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: sure that if there's things that you see going on
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that you want to be a part of, that you
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: reach out to the necessary individuals.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: And get attached.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And I can't I wish there were so many easier
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: ways to do a lot of the stuff that we do.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I am a hands owned person.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I love to be involved with what's going on, so
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I'm always gonna be attached to everything. I know we
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: like to have. You know, different people do this, and
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: people do this, and people do that. I do too,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: but I still like to be involved. I like to
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: divvy out work. I like to give work, and those
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: that know me know that I'll give task. I give
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: things our people to, you know, occupy and do what
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: they're what they're capable of doing, because I want to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: see people thrive. I'm not a micro manager. I don't
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: stand over you and push things on you and stand
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and see if you're gonna do it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You know, I give it to you. If you do
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: what you do it.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: If you don't, then I know I'm gonna it's gonna
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: get done. Because that's just who I am, always have been,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and I think I'm gonna be like that until I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: can't be like that no more. I know that may
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: be a bad habit, but that bad habit works for me, y'all,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and then with me a lot of people. I struggled
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: in school with this, y'all, but it's something that I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: look I made the Dean's list, I made the President's list.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I made all these different lists throughout school. But one
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: thing I struggled with was doing my project some time.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Like y'all, I would wait till the last minute, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: then I would do my project, and then I'll be stressing.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: But guess what I will always I will always do.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Great on them.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Like that last project I had to do for class, y'all,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I waited to the very last day.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: That I could wait before I submitted the project.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't even send it to the What's the name,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and I just knew I had bombed it because I
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: thought I had messed up, and I was up all night.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: The night before trying to get it done.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I even canceled my podcast on Monday to make sure
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that it got uploaded, and everything got uploaded on time.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: With y'all, I did all that, stressed, did all that,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and did all that I did when I could have
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: been turned that project in and ben had it done.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Because y'all, when I turned it in, how about I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: got all other points. I mean, I made a perfect
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: score on it. I could have been turned the project in,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: got it over with, and I had to stress. But
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: with y'all, sometime we don't. We hold on to stuff
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and we wait and wecrastinate and procrastinate and procrastinate and
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: put off and put off and put off and put out.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: When if we go ahead and do it and get
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it done, then that time that we are procrastinating, just
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: think what else we could have been doing. Like all
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that time that I wasted thinking about what I'm gonna
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: do and why I hadn't done, and you know, just
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: just making excuses in my mind why I hadn't done
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the project when I'm gonna do the project and planning
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: and stuff, I could have been thinking about something else.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: But y'all, that's what we do. And we gotta stop
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: doing that. We gotta stop procrastinating. We got to stop
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: putting off things that we can do today.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: For tomorrow because tomorrow's not promised.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: We got to learn how to move in the now,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: live in and now, operate in the now, and and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and do those things because we never know that if
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: we step out and we do the things, what other
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: doors may open. Because I'm just thinking and I'm looking back,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm just thinking about, you know, a lot of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the things that I said I wanted to do that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: If I had done a long time ago, y'all, my
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: life could have been a lot different because now I'm
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: doing all of the things that I wanted to do
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: but didn't do it because for what, y'all, I was
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: afraid of what. To be honest, just like I posted
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the other day, it wasn't that I was afraid of failing.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Because if you look at your life, and I have,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I looked over my life.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I ain't.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I ain't not judging nobody, saying nothing about nobody. But
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I looked over my life and I looked at all
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the other areas and all other things that I did
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: fail in, all of the things that I that I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: did not succeed or did not do what I did
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: not live up to my expectations.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: So all of the times that I fail, I failed before.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But look at me. I got up, I kept going.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't stop. It didn't it didn't end nothing because
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I failed. It just taught me to learn from my lessons.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Take what you can take from the failure and move on.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Pick yourself up, that's yourself out, and keep on rolling.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: That's what we gotta do on this journey, because y'all,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: if you are a believer.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: You believe the word. You read the word, you know.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: It tells us all these things are gonna happen. But
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: we still gotta trust him. We gotta have faith, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: we gotta believe, y'all. We can't tell nobody how to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: overcome if we don't overcome that, and if we never
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: go through that, and if everything was always peaches and
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: cream and strawberries. How can you tell somebody about the grapes?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: How can you tell somebody about the plums? How can
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you tell somebody about the opps?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: So we got to test them all, and we got
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to go through, and we got to sow some seeds,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: sow some seeds. How we sow the seeds? When we
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: learn from our lessons, y'all, we got to be able
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to and willing to share them with somebody else. Like
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: you had to go through that lesson for a reason,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: because he knew that we were gonna come into contact
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: with somebody that was gonna be going through the same test.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: And that lesson that you went through, that you overcame,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that you advanced from, now you can share it with
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: somebody else because now you're elevated. You moved on to
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: another level and now you can share it with somebody else.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: And y'all, this is what we should be doing every day.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Every day. We should be elevating. We should be going
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: to a newer level in us.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Like we shouldn't look back and think about, well, what
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: happened yesterday, yesterdays yesterday.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Ain't nothing you gonna do about it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we might want to go back and pick up
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: some things and try to fix some stuff, but it ain't.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Nothing you can really do about it. That is in
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: the past. That is history.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Now we're in a new day. All we can do
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: is focused on today because you're not gonna see that
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: no more. You're not gonna see yesterday Wednesday, I mean yesterday,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Thursday no more. You're gonna see next Thursday when it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: come up. But it's gonna be a new Thursday. It's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: not gonna be the last Thursday. Every day we keep
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: going to another day.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: So y'all, we.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Got to look at situations like that, how things are
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: gonna happen. But don't stay there, don't dwell on it,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: keep moving.
