• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and tribulations. That's a strong title.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, he's such a strong title. Okay, So I'll give
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: you guys a little bit of a backstory how I
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: came about the title and then how it came to
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: the pretty much put together. This book is very dear
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: to me, and with that in mind, I realized I
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: wanted to tell my ttimony. I wanted to tell people
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: about what things I've endured in the past and how
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: it made me who I am today. With that said,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: this book how I before I made the Trial Relations title,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I went through certain things of that you know, situation
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: of revelations that they called it as being a domestic balist, survivor,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: being a rape victim, going through the foster care system,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: and with that as a and then later on a
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: life as an adult, you know, being homeless and pregnant,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: and then just facing so many or deals in my life,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: and I felt like I wanted to There were times
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: where I wanted to underlife myself. And God has given
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: me the strength as we speak right now, literally the
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: strength to push as far as I can to overcome
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: all those things, those demons, those those situations I've encountered,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: and and I feel like today I'm a primary example
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: of a true survivor. And if I could go through
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: all those situations in my life and sit here with
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: you as we speak to your amazing audience are watching
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: right now, and to tell people that no matter what,
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: if you went through worse or went through similar situation,
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: you can survive it through it all. And today is
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: actually I just turned forty, and to think my mother
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: just passed away up like and made this year. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I've just been going through those situations harder as it
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: is because you know one thing was your father and
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: your mother. It's like that's that's one of my kind.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: That's it. So it's like the reason why the book
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: is trials and tribulations and autobichphier realogy because I want
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: people to know the raw, the raw of it all
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: of not who I am as an artist, as a person,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: and I want people to relate to that and also
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: be inspired and not to give up on their own
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: dreams and even know what they're going through and what
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I went through, they could relate to that, understand that
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: this is just for now and you better this could
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: come out of it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Wow. So that that is amazing, and it's really amazing,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and you know that they are so proud of you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: because I know and most definitely when to write those autobiographies,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that's like peeling back the layers. So yes, how did
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you deal with that? The onion cries? You know, that's
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: what I call it, because you're peeling back the layers.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And now my eyes with water.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: When you feel back the onions and it brings back
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: all these tears, and the tears are the emotions and everything.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: How did you deal like did you do with that energy?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: No, no, And you're right. You're right. It had to
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: take a lot of out of me because I didn't
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: really want to write this book, to be honest with you,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: it's just like I've gone through so much. And then
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: even at that time when I finally sat out and
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: nobody helped me, I just did on my own, like
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: just put the chapters together, and I just put the
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: ideas on and typing, no handwriting and looking straight typing,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: and I said, you know, I got to tell the
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: story because God told me too. And I felt like
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: there was a time where, you know how we all
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: have a calling in life, and I feel like being
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: an author and writing like other books, but this one
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: was really the harror core of my life. And I
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: want people to understand. It's not like I want people
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: will be like, oh my god, you know, I want
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: people to learn and gain something from it and understand it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Like if I went through all these situations and how
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: there were times I wanted to just end it, but
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: I said no, God told me not too. You were
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: here for a purpose. I realized, you know what, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: want to utilize the opportunity to put a book and
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: talk about some of the situations I went through, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: you know, I don't talk too much deep into it
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: because I don't want to scare away the readers. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I just give into the pieces of it. And you know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I wanted to learn and understand, like these things do
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: happen to people in general, men or women, and I
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: wanted to gain something from it. So that's why I
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: feel like after I, and you're right after I. You know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I put it together and sit it out. It was
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: a healing process for me. And I realized going back
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: through because it did take the trauma, I didn't have
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: to like relive it and write it down. So it
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: did give me that more where I had to like
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: have enough focus and to just get this done and
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: make sure that the story be told correctly. And when
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: I put it out there and I had seen the
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: feedback and the people that were like constantly contact me,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: like you just like you don't know how much that
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: meant so much, you know the book in this and
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: I was like, thank you, because if I could say
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: somebody to like if they read a book, if I
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: say somebody because they could go through something mental health
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: issues or whatever the case may be, then I know
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: my job is done's to me?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, do it?
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: So now if you say you're an artist, all right,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you know you got to tell us about that.
• 9:33

• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you let well, let's ask this question. Okay, you're booking
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: your music. Okay, how did the journey for both of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: them bring out this beautiful person we have in front
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: of us?
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Thank you. I think for me, writing is a way
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: to escape in some ways of what I'm going through,
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: and I also utilize on my music my music. Was
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: you like the hearing audio part, as you say, you
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: get to hear the pain, you get to hear the joy.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: With the writing. You you don't get the hearing, but
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: you get more of like the visualization of it all.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: And I feel like the situations that went through my life.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: I want people to not emilated, but I think to
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: kind of be inspired by that and to see that,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: you know, wow, this is really cool that somebody could
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: use their pain and their own personal experiences or I
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: think they could relate to and put it in something
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: that will overformed. That is going to be something that's
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: amazing and that could inspire them maybe to pursue their
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: own thing as well.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Now that that's wow. I can't even I can't put
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the words. It's like wow. Okay, mm hmm. So we
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: have musical success and we have literary success. Which one
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: is more important to you? And why?
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Oh that's tough? Oh my god?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Why? Okay, if they both are the same, m.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: Why hey, you know's a good question I'm gonna ask
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: me that. I think to me, writing is first because
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: writing does help you form how you want to put
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: the things together, especially like in a poem or in
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: a song or anything of that. Nature of writing is
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: first of fundamental, you need that. So I think writing
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: is first before anything.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Right, So you know what, you guys, We're about to
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: take a break. And you know me, you guys, y'all know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I always got something up my sleep with my second
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: half questions. So we're gonna do great, and we're gonna
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: come back and remember R and B. Remember that. All right,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: you guys, we'll be right back.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Turn off the legs, the candle.
• 14:14

  Speaker 2: to look at that song differently, Like was he trying
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to tell like they said him ada play, Like was
• 15:33

  Speaker 2: I heard that song in a total different manner. Let
• 15:47

• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Tom Teddy trying to tell her she didd He's like,

  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I don't know this actress, Uh jesus her,
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: she's like a comedian. Okay, she got like more in too,
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: like dramatic roles. I forgot her name. Oh god, which
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: other way she was on? But she was in a
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: few comedy movies and it will be amazing, and she
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: could kind of portray me.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I got her name, Oh god, she plays it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: She was in a few, like the comedy movies that
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: came out like a couple of years ago, a couple
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: of years ago. Oh gosh, and not god, her name?
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: She she she did commercial for the hotels not too
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: long ago. I forgot her from the hotels. Yeah, she
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: she doesn't like Randhead.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know who you're talking about, because she
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: played she played in the movie and she was carn Artists.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's the one.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: That's the Oh, I cannot and I'm looking at her face.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I'm looking right at her face, and I cannot remember.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: But I know who you talk about. I don't know
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: her name, but I know that.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's her.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I can see that. And they were snapping each other
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: in one scene outside of a car or something. Yeah,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: beat each other. I don't know, it's exactly who you're
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: talking about. Okay, so now we got the actress on
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the way, but now we got to come up with
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: your soundtrack. And you have to choose an artist, Okay,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: to either co write the song or be on the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: track with you. Who would it be? Why? In what genre?
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, this is hard. That is tough. But
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: it will be two people. Actually, I think Okay won't
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: be to Oh I just love her music, and the
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: other won't be Alicia Keys. You went to different Yes,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: none of the reason why because I yes, I love
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: their music for I'm a big fan of them for years,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: and they're both women of strength for various reasons. And
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I feel if they'll be honest, they could do a
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: song for the you know, the movie or be your
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: part to work with them, it will be just extraordinary.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: And the reason why, I think it's the strength depending
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: on the song of the concept, it's bringing out independence
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: of a woman. Also the strength like Mary g Blige,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: you know her songs are like always about strong. Yeah,
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: so it's yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Character from power.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, she was good.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not, I'm not you know what like that? Okay,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: get it back.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: But I just feel like that'd be great for just
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: that that part of the strip of part in song
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: and bringing out.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: That the Celine Dion and Alicia Keys that sounds like
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: that'll be something that really sounds like Yo, it's okay.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: What would the title of the song be?
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: See, it varies, but I think it depends on how
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: the song goes and everything. So if it was something
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: with title, I will say as Life goes On or
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: something like that to that that that kind of similar.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: You know, Alicia Keys, I think has a song or
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: a CD called My Life.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: No, that's Mary Blanche Oh no, yes, I think right, yes,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: so Alicia Keys, she does talk a lot about her
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: life and her love. And then you got some lean
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Diana over here doing her you know what you did
• 23:06
