• 4:31
  Speaker 3: what it do? So before we go any further, tell
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: us a little bit about yourself.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So my name is Cyndia A. Payin. Yeah, I am.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I just finished twenty five years of educating and.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: That includes high school as well as college, four years
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: down as a professor in two of the major colleges
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: in Delaware.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I am Jamaican by birth. Yes, And I am a
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: writer and I'm an author.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: And I usually say there's a distinction between both of
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: them because when I speak about my poetry, that's when
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: the writing comes in.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Author.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: You know, all the other books that I've written. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: think this is my ninth publication, but this is one
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: of my most This is the most important one I
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: have written. So, I mean, that's about me. Yeah, And
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: I come from a family of educators. I always have
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: to add, and that's part of who I am. You know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: ninety five percent of the persons in my family are educators.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And I'm not exaggerating. Yeah, how do you do it?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Lord? How well?
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: When I reflect on the twenty five years. The only
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: thing I can say is that I must love it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: That's the only reason I'm still doing it. I love it,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: I really honest still love it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: And the reason why I ask how is because, Okay, so.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: In the summer, you guys give them to us and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: they can become our library babies.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yes and wholo.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, okay, I mean we haven't marked on
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: our calendar at work August eleven, first day of school, and.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: And then when they get home, and then when they
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: get home like they come to our house, but when they.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Come to the library after school, it's just like when
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: they come through the door, you'd be like rough people
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to the shoot. But and then on the other hand,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: they can be some of the sweetest kids because we
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: have done like Cupcake Wars, we've done puzzles and trivia,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and they're very intelligent, just a lot of them who
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: do not have the guidance on how to.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Show all the all the obstacles that are in the way.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: So as a parent, I thank you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Can we do school all year round?
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Because this is hard, you know, I'm sorry, but we
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: need we need these couple of weeks, not even months.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: We need these couple of weeks to recuperate and to.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: Get back at our feet again, because it's it's like
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: you said, it's always booths on the ground.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Come on, gust write till June. So my wallet, I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: can I get?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Can I get?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Starbucks? Can I get chickiling? And refrigerator is full of food?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Like you know, but.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I know that you guys do not get the credit
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: in the the just everything that you deserve. But as
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: a mother and a mother who is serious about her
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: childhood education because by the way, you guys, she said,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: up here reading the Hunger Games.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: Ooh yes, yes, oh the Hunger Games. Yeah, the Hunger Games.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: But I thank you, I thank you, thank you, thank
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: you for thanking me, thank you for thanking me.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: I mean the minute we enter this profession, and like
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: I said, it's in my blood, it's who I am.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: But the minute you enter this profession, you know, hey,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: you're not in it for the thank you. You're not
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: in it for the pay because I mean, who pays us.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: You're in it because you really love it. Somebody and
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: I always say, you know, somebody has to do it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: So I am a proud educator twenty five years and
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: I will go for another twenty five years, go to
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Lord permits me.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Well there you go again, thank you. All right, we're
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: gonna come to this book.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. So I suffered from migraines, but mine isn't
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: that bad. It is during when my.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Friend liked to say, hey, how are you doing girl
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: food on the back of your head? What means you
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: want to write this journal about? Well, first of all,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: can I ask what is the name of the rare
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: migraine disease if you would like to share?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: So, yes, definitely.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: I mean so when I got diagnosed, like almost twenty
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: years ago, over all these all these stroke like symptoms,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: you know, we were I was still this hemiplegic migraine
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: and up to this point it still falls on that category. However,
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: some studies done by Dr Jung at the at the
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Jefferson Headache Center, it's is now moms, it is migraine
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: with unilateral migraine with us or motor symptoms. So it
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: does have still have those stroke like symptoms, but the
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: difference is that linger so you will have all the
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: other symptoms but no migraines.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: It lingers.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Like in a book, I said that my right side
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: does not belong to me, which is actually true because
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: it's weaker now because of all the attacks that I've
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: had over the years.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: So I mean, how how do you continue to be
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: an educator when you're fighting and you're in a very
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: stressful career.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And and and that is where that is where
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: the advocacy feel for me, for me comes in, because
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: I know that there are many educators, especially whether hemiplegic
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: migraine or moms that had to stop working, or any
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: former chronic migraine that has to stop working. But I
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: will say, this accommodation a DA and that's something I
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: had to, like I said, I had to be vocal about.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I had to fight for it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: So and I'm always grateful for my first neurologist who
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: took care of his soul for so many years when
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I was in the DC area, doctor Kreuger. She began
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: with a medical letter on file. And the minute I
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: have a medical letter on file to say what it
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: is that my condition is that puts me gives me
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: the protection of the ADA and therefore I have to
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: receive reasonable accommodations.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Right, So, these reasonable accommodations mean that there are no lights.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: In my classroom. I only have lamps in my classroom.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: That's number one.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Number Two, I cannot be in because bright lights are
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: triggered for me. So overhead bright lights are triggered for me.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Number two, I have to get accommodations for light. So
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: if there's a meeting and the lights accommodations are not there,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: then I have to do the meeting by zoom.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: And yes.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: And number three, Luckily for me, I can take my
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: medical alert doctor school. So he's in the classroom with
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: me and I, Yeah, he has been that dog has
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: been my life saver. I should say he's a hot mess,
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: but he's my life saver. So I have a whole
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: chapter in our whole chapter that in a memory that
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: says off migraine and John Lupicard, because you know that's
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: he's in there with me. And in those strustful moments,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: you know, if I'm talking too loud, he'll come over
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: to me. He will alert me before I know there's
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: going to be a migraine, and he will and let
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: me make sure that I take my medication. So that's
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: one of the reasons that I've been able still being
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: able to function at work, function at work.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, just do my job well. And there
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: are days when I have to be on my cane.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is what it is.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna be hobbing on body my cane. There are
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: days when I'm gonna be on the cane. But I
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: go when I can, you know. I mean, I still
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: lose lose pay every year, but it's not I tell
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: my neuralgi just that this year was a good year
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: compared to other years. You know, but I've learned to
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: manage the stress. I've learned to manage the stress. I've
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: learned to listen to John Look, and I've learned to
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: use my accommodation.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's great because you know, a lot of
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: people don't think about those accommodations now, a lot of people.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I have a wonderful coworker, Oh she's so beautiful. She
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: uses her accommodation. And at first she was kind of
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: hesitant because she thought it was putting us out the way.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: We's a noble we're accommodating you. You're making our lives
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: easy because you know, we're working in this together. We're
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: working as a family.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: So I love that and the service dog.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I just had a lady to come to one of
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: my library program She has this beautiful black labrador that's
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: her service dog. And we're sipping and painting and at
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: first I was scared, and I guess she saw the
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: hesitation in me, and she.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Stood next to me, and he stood next to me
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: and he looked at me.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I looked at him. He gave me a head bob,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I so, all right, we're gonna make this do what
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to do?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: And he just said quietly.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: She wanted to get up, and it's like he knew exactly.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: What she needed.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Like that is awesome. Yeah, yeah, it is. So what
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: made you feel.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: That I need to put this out there because somebody
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: else is suffering from this and I can give them
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: great tips and advice and how to endure.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: So one of the main reasons is one of the
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: main reasons is because I need people to understand that
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: migraine is not a headache, right, And for years we
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: have been advocating for for for for migraine, whether you
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: know we have these sometimes when I was in DC,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I had the opportunity of, you know, doing most of
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: the advocacy when we had rare disease there are going
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: on the haill But you know, we have been advocating
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: so much for migraine, and migraine is not just about
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: a headache. We need to understand that this is a disability.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: There are literally persons who cannot work, who cannot do
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: anything because they suffer daily from chronic migraine. That's one
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: of the reasons I wanted to put it out there.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: The second reason is because I think that the the
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: the condition I have is rare, okay, but it is
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: also not fully recognized. So hemiplegic migraine is fully recognized,
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: but moms is not recognized. And I think that the
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: word that doctor Young did with the research shows that
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: there's a difference between both of them. And you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: those of us who have been diagnosed with this, I
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: want people to understand what it is. This is called
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: the avalanche of migraines. It's called super migraines, you know.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: And I want people to understand what it feels like
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: to live with a chronic disease.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Is I want people to understand what it feels like
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: to live daily and where your life changes consistently.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Wow, you just you just opened my eyes to something
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: because I literally thought that a migraine was just a headache. Now,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: oh my god, can you give us a little like
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: how how we can like if somebody is listening right
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: now and it was like, you know what, what does
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: she experience? Because I've been having this headache for a while.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Can you give them things that can help them? Go
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: to their doctor and say, hey, you know what, I
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: was listening to this show and this is what's going on.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: But it's very similar to some of the things that
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I have going on.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: So you know, the headache, the headache is migraine is
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: usually one sided headache. If it's a one sided, it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: usually migrating right. But what can you do understand is
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: that with a rare disease like mine and persons who
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: have moms that have plaged with migraine, and sometimes we
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: don't feel an headache. What we feel are these hebapleasia symptoms.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: What we feel is that right side weakness. What we
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: feel is drooping, is our face drooping. What we feel
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: is our hands and our feet or our hands fingers
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: becoming crooked, or our feet becoming weak.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: It describe us having a stroke over and over again.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: That's what we feel.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: What we feel is not being able to get up
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: in the morning as much as we want to, or
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: you do so much today and tomorrow you just gotta
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: lay in bed. And sometimes, like I said, we don't
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: have the headache, the headache doesn't come right, I mean,
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: when the headache comes bad. But sometimes and that's the
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: difference that makes it so rare because the headache isn't there,
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: but all the other symptoms are there.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Wow.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, mind opening. Now. I don't mean to be frank,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: but what does got to do with me and a cowgirl?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: So this is what it has to do with being
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: a cowgirl. Like I said to you, You see, that's
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: only two rolls of my hats. Right. Remember I told
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: you about the bright lights and I and in the

  Speaker 3: and the glasses, right, So if I'm gonna do it,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: might as well do it in style.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: No, I understanday completely.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: So this is my this is a change in my life.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: One whole wall of my of my apartment is filled
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: with with with with hats, you know, because I believe
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: if I'm aware of green like you see, if I'm

  Speaker 3: aware of green shirt, I better have on a green hat.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I'm a real red shirt, but I have on a
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: red hat. I mean, if I'm gonna live with if
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Live this disease and it's gonna change my life, might
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: as well I live it in style. Might as well
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: live in style, so that my entire life changed because
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: of these micro yep.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. So you embraced it, yes, and put some
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: style to it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what girl. I bought some cock, I bought
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: some cowboy I bought some belts to so you don't
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: have all my back buckles with it too.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Yes, if you're gonna do this, I mean, I gotta
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: live like this for the rest of my life. If
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna do it, do it in style.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: How does that make you feel? It took me away?
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: So let me just be very clear that I just
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: did not get up and accept this as a part
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: of my life. That it took time I was grown
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: to be. I mean, I was raised as a Jamaican woman,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: but as an independent Jamaican woman. And when you realize
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: that when this, when this illness comes, you become dependent
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: because there are things you just can't do by yourself anymore. Right,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: And so as a result of that, I have to
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: come to the real life. I have to come to
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: the realization that I am going to have to make
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: some changes, that I'm gonna have to have to accept
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: myself the way I am.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, and the way I.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Am right now is that I'm gonna have to all
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I'm always gonna be my in my cowboy in my
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: cowboy hats, and I'm always gonna be in my glasses.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: I'm always gonna have put on my cowboy belt on
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: my jeans. I mean, that's how I look on shirt,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: That's how I look good to school anyway. But I mean,
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: I have to make it in such a way that
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: living with a chronic.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Disease is difficult. It is. It is difficult. It can
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: break your self esteem. It can really break your self esteem.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: It can it can make you feel as.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: If you're not good enough to be out there, especially
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: you know I've spoken about of love and migraine. When
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: persons leave because of your migraines.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: It can break you. And so I had to make
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: a choice. It's not gonna break me, it's gonna make me.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: And that's the choice I had to make. And as
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: a result of.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: That, I embraced all these things. I embrace them because
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: this is who I am, and this is who I
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: am now, and this is who I have to be.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I am so loving this, Like, yeah, now I see
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: the cold is. I was like, yo, I love this
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: book that you said, you know what, you think You're
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: gonna keep me down. But I'm gonna go ahead and
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take this and I'm embrace this and I'm
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: gonna put a spin on it, and I am helping myself.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I'm advocating for others. Now.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I wrote this book, and I'm advocating even more. Was
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: it hard to write this book?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: So I have been trying.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: So I usually do all my writings on my phone,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: so you know, most of my books are on my phones,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: and I for years I've been trying to figure out
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: what's the best way to write about my illness?
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Right, I said, let me write some pros.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: It didn't, it didn't, It didn't come up.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: And then one day I just started writing, and I've
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: never written the second person before, and this is written
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: the second person. And when I wrote the first one
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: the second person, I'm like.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: And so what became hard after when what became hard
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: just started to flow the second person, the broken English,
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: and the broken English is yes, it is part of
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: the Caribbean rhythm. But that is how I sound when
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: I have a migraine because I suffer from a phaser
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, it looks like a stroke. Yeah, mm hmm.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: So so that broken English is part, it's part of it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: It's part of the journey.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're doing this, doing this girl, Yeah, I am.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I mean it's forty four pages about it, eleven poems
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: written a poem.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: But that is what it is.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: Because I didn't want to say I. I wanted to
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: say you, so that the reader is experiencing it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: You're part of it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: You understand. You understand that the weakness on the right side, weakness.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: You understand when I lost my memory for six months
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: and didn't know what was going on around me.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You are a part of all of that. Yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: So that so right there, as a second person you
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: you wanted to do that so you can let the
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: reader take the driver's seat in so.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Many yes, yes, I want to reader. Yes, yeah, you
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: go girl. Yes, That's all I can say, is you
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: go girl? Yeah? Mm hmm yeah.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: What do you want your readers to take away from
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: this book? I want them to take away the experience
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: and the understanding. I want them to because unless you experience,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: you know, if you walk a mind in my shoes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: then you don't understand what what I'm what I'm going through. Yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: so I want I want them to walk in my shoes,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: and I want.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Them to understand I'm not to understand that migraine is
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: so much bigger than a headache, right, But I don't
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: want any sympathy though. I don't want them about it
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: to be sorry for me, because I don't feel sorry
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: for myself.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I caught it, okay, So yeah, you you said so
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: much an experience. I really do have authors who compare
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: their books or say their books it's an experience. And
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: I like that because as a reader, what we're really
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: nine times out of sam. I'm not saying everybody, but
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of us are reading for the experience because
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: us this is nine top ten. We're reading for knowledge, entertainment,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: or just to get away. People say entertainment and get
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: away the same thing. Now those are two different ball
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: dance people. And when you say an experience and you're
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: letting the reader take the driver's sea, I'm never and
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: if I did, I'm sorry, but I don't wonder.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I'm off. They're just saying that or doing that, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you go, yeah.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like I said, it's the first time that I've
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: ever experienced experiments with a second the second the second person, right,
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: And then when you read it, you know it may
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: sound sometimes like is this a teacher of English writing this?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Because I am a teacher of English? Is a teacher
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: of English writing?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: This?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: One? Is?
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: This?
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Is this a grammar? Isn't correct? No?
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: No, It's all a part of the experience. It's all
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: a part of the ephysian it's all part of the confusion.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: It's all the part of saying things over and over
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: and over again. It's all a part of it. All
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: you are read, all you're doing is is like you said,
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: you're in the driver's seat. You're not a passenger, You're
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: the driver, you know, and you're experiencing everything that I've
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: been through. You're experiencing the lost love, you're experiencing the
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: hospital experiences, the five day vacations, stay in the hospital

• 26:45
  Speaker 3: end of it, you will realize you go through the experience,
• 26:49
