5:03
that, I never really know what to say because I want to start with
5:06
this, and I'll do this tonight. I'm a child of God, and
5:11
that simply means that I'm a lot of different things. He said, we
5:15
could be a lot of different things. I'm a lot of different things.
5:17
I'm a mother, I'm a sister, I'm a friend, I'm I'm an
5:25
entrepreneur, I'm a community leader, i am person radio personality, I'm i'm
5:33
I'm a grandmother, I'm every woman. And tonight I'm excited to share some
5:40
of more of what that means and what it looks like. Well, I
5:48
am glad to have you here. I had the opportunity to meet you.
5:56
It's been what about five six, maybe said seven years now, it's been
6:01
a while. When I was living back in Anderson, South Carolina, and
6:10
we had the opportunity. I think we came across each other doing something with
6:19
the city doing something in Anderson you and I tell you, yes, and
6:30
and that's exactly what you are doing. You are doing some amazing things,
6:39
and I I just want to thank you for all that you are doing.
6:43
You may not know this, but you are someone that I truly have looked
6:47
to for inspiration and you have been my silent personal mentor. I look to
6:56
you to see what you're doing, and you encouraged me. We may not
7:02
talk all the time, but you truly encourage me. You truly inspire me,
7:10
just from the conversations that we used to have in the library, at
7:15
these little meetings we used to have. I remember having an event at the
7:20
center that I used to run, and how you and mister Martin used to
7:25
come out and support the things that me and my partner at that time were
7:29
doing. And I just grew drew so much inspiration from you and the things
7:36
that you were doing within the community. And I tell you you have not
7:42
stopped. When I tell you you have not stopped, you have not.
7:46
I see you open a business. You are doing so much. You are
7:51
doing so much, and I just want you to share with those that are
7:59
tuned in to day a little bit about your business. What inspired you to
8:03
say, Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and do this, so if you
8:07
would, what you said so much and I've never had an introduction like that,
8:15
so thank you. You are a pleasure. Again. You inspired me
8:22
a whole lot more than you will ever know. Sometimes we're in a dark
8:26
place and we don't realize what we need, but somehow my life has been
8:33
this way. God always sends what I need because I believe you will.
8:37
So you were one of those angels during that time. It was it was
8:41
easy. It was easy to be whatever it was I was to you because
8:43
you were being even more to me. So I wanted to say that thank
8:48
you, and for me just being an entrepreneur, I got it out.
8:56
People hate for me to say this, but I got out of the mud.
8:58
I didn't know anything, I had no blueprint. I was doing something
9:01
totally different than what I had seen in my area or even across the globe.
9:07
You know, COVID was what made people go to their kitchens. Before
9:11
people went to their kitchens and start making stuff with their hands. I've been
9:15
doing it for like twenty years. So for me, it was not really
9:18
a business that was being started. It was a way of life. It
9:24
was what I already knew and was able to do, but now was extending
9:31
it to others. So that was interesting for me. It was difficult.
9:33
So starting a business for me started by accident, and it started from just
9:39
somebody asking, hey, can you make me a tea. I made herbal
9:43
teas for all types of needs, and it's not for anything other than to
9:50
add something well to your life, a way of being, a wellness option
9:56
that you can just either drink, take as appealed, take as a tonic,
10:05
whatever. That's what I do. I'm an herbalist and my business is
10:09
Deavi's Got the t LLC. And I offer products and services that can help
10:13
you to you know, just give you, just give you another option.
10:16
There are alternatives out here. I'm not against doctors, that's my disclaimer.
10:20
I just made an appointment with my doctor this morning. I believe that doctors
10:26
are designed to do what they do and that's make diagnosis. So for me,
10:30
it's just the way of life. And I make not only products,
10:33
I also make drinks. We have a smoothie bar at my store. My
10:39
store is located at thirty two fifteen Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard that's in Anderson,
10:45
South Carolina, and you can find just about anything you can think of,
10:48
so things to help you be well inside and outside hair care products.
10:54
I'm also a licensed cosmetologists, been licensed since eight and I can go on
11:00
and on, but it just feels like I need to stop and allow you
11:03
to say something, Angela. But yeah, that's just a couple of things
11:07
that I do. I build a whole line in company out of one person,
11:15
and only that's not to give myself any alcolades at all, because I
11:20
don't do that because it's God that has set me to do this, and
11:24
he puts everything in motion, and I just move. I always tell people
11:28
I'm moving to shake, and and that just simply means that I believe that
11:33
I can. I was telling Angela before I came on. I'm not afraid
11:37
of failure. I just don't feel like that's an option. But I am
11:43
afraid of success and usually the other way around. But I'm not afraid of
11:52
failure. I'm afraid of succeeding. I know that I can, and as
11:56
an introvert, that's a little bit uncomfortable. So yeah, I'm gonna start
12:01
right now. Well, you definitely should not be afraid of success because just
12:11
a short time that I've known you and the things that you have done since
12:18
I've met you, it has been nothing shy of successful. Because we're from
12:24
a small town. Where we're from, Anderson, South Carolina, probably don't
12:28
even have three hundred thousand people, and and everybody know everybody just about or
12:35
if you don't know, you know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody.
12:41
We all have tighten the community. So it's kind of hard, you know,
12:46
it's kind of hard. And I look at you and I see all
12:48
of the things that you've done from just a short time that I've known you.
12:52
You were in school, I think, or either you went back to
12:56
school, you graduated, you open up your business, and you say it
13:05
was by accident. I don't think. So. It was our part of
13:09
the plan. It may not just happen when we wanted to happen, but
13:15
it was our part of It was our part of Jeremiah twenty nine and eleven.
13:18
He had already left it out. You just had to catch up to
13:22
it. You to catch up to it. It was already part of the
13:26
plan. Well, you know, you like the go ahead I'm sorry.
13:37
Well, I just want to touch on what you said about coming from you
13:41
know, a small town and and everything that is true, you know,
13:46
but small towns have a lot of talent in them. Small towns typically have
13:54
a lot of people that can do a lot of things. I think about
13:56
Chad with both men, I think about Javonn Johns. So those two just
14:00
come to mind because they go hand in hand because they both they both in
14:05
films for me, so in my head, I just put both of them
14:09
together. They both done amazing things, and it's plenty more. It's plenty
14:13
more. I just don't know them, you know, and can't speak on
14:16
them at the moment. But with that, you talked about Jim Rice the
14:24
baseball player. You have Saudi a round tree that you go around here.
14:31
She came out of West Side played She was one of the first when w
14:35
n B A became w n B A. She played for w n B
14:39
A and then only that she was the coach. She was the head coach
14:43
at Marris Brown College. I didn't even know that, and I that's why
14:48
I played ball at in the early nineties. Six I played at Morris Brown
14:54
College. In two thousand, I think it was two thousand, said round
15:00
Tree was the head women's basketball coach there. And we've had quite a few
15:05
other individuals come out of Anderson Abbeville County because it's all right there together.
15:13
We've had some successful people come out of there. And I tell you,
15:20
we definitely are a hit and gym. But I look at the Electric City.
15:26
People don't understand. Anderson was one of the first city in South Carolina
15:31
to have electricity. So that's why we are called the Electric City. It
15:37
took a guy. I didn't even realize that. One of my friends from
15:41
Atlanta that used to come and work the camps with me, work the summer
15:45
camps with me. He mentioned it to the kids, and you know,
15:50
I'm like, I live here in Anderson, and I really didn't even know
15:52
that, and it made me start, you know, trying to find out
15:56
a little bit more about my city. And I tell you, I always
16:00
shouting about Anderson. I'm glad I had the opportunity to come back to and
16:07
and to meet you, to meet mister Martin, to meet my former partner,
16:11
because that opportunity allowed me to be able to do a lot of the
16:15
things that I'm doing now and just being able to sit at your feet and
16:22
his feet and to learn some things because y'all may not realize the conversations that
16:29
we had, the different things that we did together. It helped catapult me
16:37
and to push me into these things that I'm doing now, because before that,
16:41
y'all, I wouldn't have been doing this, writing books like I wouldn't
16:48
have been doing that. And you know, working with you guys and sitting
16:52
at those roundtables and having those discussions with you guys, it really pushed me
16:59
out of my comfort zone. And I have to thank you for that.
17:04
Thank you, thank you. You're you're very you have definitely been an inspiration
17:11
to me. You're you're more than welcome, You're welcoming. I definitely I
17:19
can't thank you enough. And you are definitely paving the way for other individuals.
17:27
And I see it because I'm seeing more brown people opening businesses around Anderson,
17:37
around Abbeyville, and just I've never seen so many brown businesses before,
17:44
and people trying, you know before, you know, we just not we
17:48
had to go work in those plants, go and and and stay on those
17:52
lines. And you know, I was one of those people that said I
17:56
was not going to Fridgid there. I said I would leave Anderson before I
18:02
go work at Frencher there. Me too, Me too, And that's what
18:04
I ended up at a junior college when when I graduated from high school,
18:12
I took a scholarship at a junior college because I refused to stay in Anderson
18:18
and go work in one of those plants. I got the junior college and
18:21
did not like it, and I ended up moving to Atlanta with my sister.
18:26
I didn't know what I was gonna do when I got there, because
18:29
here I am. I fought for the scholarship, gave up the scholarship because
18:32
I said I wouldn't going back, and I didn't know what I was gonna
18:34
do. And I just started calling colleges and I got coach Daniels at Morris
18:41
Brown on the phone. And now that man told me he said if I
18:45
played and in the summer league out at ben Hill, that he would put
18:49
me on the team. Had never seen me play, had and watched no
18:52
videos, had done none of that. That was nothing but the grace of
18:56
God. And he did exactly what he said he would do. I played
18:59
yet and he put me on the team. And here I am. But
19:03
God gave me the opportunity to come back to Anderson and I had the opportunity
19:07
to meet you guys, and I went through some things, but I said,
19:12
you know what, I'm not gonna allow that to stop me. It
19:17
was your encouragement because right after I went through I don't even know if you
19:23
realize I had went through all that stuff when I met you. But when
19:27
I met you, you truly was inspirational to me. It was you and
19:36
mister Martin and the conversations that we had that really I said, I have
19:41
to do better. I have to change, I have to you know,
19:45
want more. And I said, you know what, I didn't know what
19:48
I was gonna do, but I know I was gonna get out of Anderson
19:52
and I was gonna give it another try. And that's what I did.
19:56
And I never looked back. And I have to thank you for that,
20:00
those conversations that we had that sitting in the library, those meetings we had
20:06
around that round table on that second floor. Yeah, I truly appreciate it.
20:12
Wow. And just the different things that you instilled in us and shared
20:19
with us about going to these different meetings and being in law in our community
20:26
and knowing what's going on. That is very important, and I thank you
20:30
for that because that helped me to get out of my shell. It helped
20:37
me to look these They started calling me the Queen a collaboration. I don't
20:41
know who started calling me that, but it's a name that I garnered and
20:45
I carry it near and dear to my heart because now God has given me
20:51
a niche to bring people together, and that's what I do. I do
20:56
a lot of anthologies. I'm on book number eighty five and it is anathologies.
21:02
I do a lot of anathologies. I just well, actually, we're
21:04
gonna have a book that's gonna release on the thirty first. It's forty poets
21:10
inside of this book. And I'm telling you, I would not be doing
21:15
this if I had not come across you, guys. I'm telling you,
21:18
I don't know where I would be. So I thank God for oh my
21:22
goodness, connection and just being obedient me. Now, now that's the that's
21:30
the thing, you're right there. I thank Him for you. Yeah.
21:33
Well, I'm so I'm so over overjoyed to be sitting here with you tonight
21:41
and and have the opportunity to receive my flowers so thank you. A lot
21:47
of times were offering flowers, but it's it's it's too late for the person
21:51
to actually be quiet and sit in it. So I appreciate you letting me
21:55
sit in those flowers. I can't speak for missing, but I think I
22:00
can when I say we didn't have any doubt in our mind, any doubt
22:04
in our mind what you were gonna end up doing. We knew that you
22:10
were going to go on to do wonderful things because you were so committed that
22:15
as community leaders, we couldn't ignore your commitment. So we had to jump
22:21
on board and do whatever it was we did needed to do and could do
22:26
to encourage you to keep moving because we knew that you would become exactly what
22:30
you become and then some Now I don't know what you were going through and
22:34
what you've been through since the time we lost you know that every day or
22:40
once a week connection, But I do know this, I prayed for you
22:47
every single day, every single day, So you know that's that's a gift
22:52
that you know. I don't know how to stop doing as an intercessor,
22:56
so you know, to you, yeah, I had no doubt. I
23:00
just knew what we had to carry you until you were able to stand on
23:06
your on your own two feet. And that's what elders do anyway. So
23:10
you know, I consider myself as an elder and that it's not attached to
23:12
age in my eyes, It's attached to just being willing to give of yourself
23:18
in a way that you would want somebody to give back to you. So
23:22
I appreciate you. Wow, And that's exactly what you're doing in the community
23:30
right now. You may not realize how many people look to you, but
23:37
there's a lot of Stephanie, Stephanie. I didn't meet Stephanie Johnson Rice until
23:47
I left Anderson. I met her on social media and then we couldn't that's
23:56
it at an event and PO shoot in Colombia, and that's really when we
24:02
connected. I can call Stephanie and Stephanie will come to Murder Beach whatever.
24:07
She's always there. And I tell you you have so much influence on her,
24:17
and you're one of her mentors. I hear so much about you through
24:22
her, and I tell you you are just amazing, and I just want
24:26
you to know that. And I want these individuals that are tuned in tonight
24:33
to truly understand you know what, I'll you do because you are truly a
24:38
community leader outside of being a a erberalist and a certified cos probably master cosmetologist.
24:52
Because I know you, You're good at whatever you do. And what
24:59
did you What did you go back to school? What kind of degree you
25:02
got when you went back to school? Well, while you went I am
25:08
a certified detox therapist, and I do in a nutshell, that's just someone
25:14
that makes sure that you're lymphatics or draining properly and that you're detoxing so your
25:18
body won't hold waste and so you can lose weight and lose toxins that are
25:25
in our head and scout. So I am a detox therapist, excuse me,
25:29
a certified detox therapist as well. I am a licensed registered cosmetologist And
25:36
I just got my Associates of Arts degree in Human Services from Southern Wesleyan University.
25:42
And with that it's community support, elder advocacy, children's at advocacy,
25:51
counseling, community development, economic development, all the stuff that I do,
25:56
wellness, all everything that. God, he just did a nice little puzzle
26:02
and he put the pieces all together, and I was just willing to walk
26:04
through the door. Not because I thought I could. It was because I
26:10
knew I could. And if I can, just share anything with anybody listening,
26:15
and you can because you know you can. It may not look the
26:19
way it needs to look in that moment, but you can because you know
26:23
you can. If nothing else in twenty twenty four, go into it knowing
26:27
that you can. If I think I can, If you stay in your
26:33
lane and stay in your boat and paddle them, because you're gonna have to
26:40
paddle, You're gonna have to row, you're gonna have to move, You're
26:42
gonna be on a roller coaster, not just in business, in life.
26:47
That's just the way it goes. And on that why you paddling. Mind
26:52
your business, your business, your own business, your family, your self
27:00
care, and your business, your other business, the business that you're building,
27:03
and stay in that boat. And God has set everything in motion.
27:07
But you gotta work for it. You gotta work for it. And you
27:11
know I said that about Angela early and I'll say it again, she worked
27:17
for it. You deserve everything that you're getting. And I'm in love.
27:21
I'm loving watching it. I am I'm having the ball watching you flourish.
27:26
And I missed out on so much. You're doing a million and one amazing
27:33
things, and you're not just you're not outside of your lane. You're in
27:37
your boat and you're rowing, and you're paling to the beat of your own
27:41
drum, flowing where God wants you to flow. I don't confess to be
27:48
anything other than a lady that believes that God is who he say is in
27:53
my life and your life. So I don't put any titles to anything,
27:57
but I have to always bring him up when I talk about anything, because
28:02
he been in my life since I was ten, and he's done some amazing
28:06
things in my life and kept me safe from harm, supply to all my
28:11
needs, all my wonts when it made sense in his time, and he's
28:17
still supplying some of those things. I'm a TV personality, I'm a radio
28:22
personality, and I'm also an introvert go figure. And it's only that way
28:27
because He's gonna give you what you can handle, what you can handle because
28:34
you got to be in his will and it has to look right to him.
28:38
And if he's the one that we look into, we need to keep
28:41
coming to him. So as an introvert, I have to keep coming to
28:44
him in order to do even these things like this. So I'm just excited
28:48
where twenty twenty four is gonna take me as a licensed detox therapist, as
28:55
a as a human service major, as a WHO who's Marquise's inductee, as
29:02
a television personality as well as a radio personality, as a business owner,
29:08
as a mother, as a grandmother, as a all of that stuff,
29:14
and I'm missing a lot of it as a community leader, as someone that
29:19
sits on boards that I just sit back and just sit and let things happen.
29:25
We don't have to stand in the limelight all the time to be seen.
29:27
Like I like for God to get his glory, and the only way
29:30
he can get is for me to move this old flesh a little bit further
29:33
back so he can shine. And then I'm a shine because he's shining because
29:37
I'm his child. So I'm just sharing little nuggets. If you're getting them,
29:41
that's good for you. If you're not, I take them with me.
29:44
I take them with me first. Anything I'm talking about is for me
29:47
first. So you know, I didn't mean to go there, Angela,
29:49
but it was on my heart. If you get me on here, it's
29:52
always gonna come from the heart, and that's what we do, and and
30:03
and and how because I don't do no scripts, I don't do no questions,
30:07
I don't do none of that. I truly believe that this is a
30:10
platform that God has given me because I used to always just want to go
30:14
live and and and talk about books and just talk about other things. And
30:18
he always, he always got the glory every time I would go live.
30:22
It always it seemed like when I got off that live and I went back
30:26
and I was watching, and I was like, who was that girl?
30:30
I was like, who was that? Where had come from? Like he
30:33
was just just stuff was just coming out, and I was just like,
30:37
what of that? All that? And I just stopped. I just stopped
30:40
trying to have scripts. I just dropped trying to have questions and just allowing
30:47
him to flow. Because I know that I don't walk in no offices.
30:52
I don't I don't hold no titles. But I do know that I am
30:56
a child of God. I've been in all my life. If I grew
31:00
up in the church. Grandfather was a pastor, so I've always been in
31:04
church. My cousin's a pastor, so you know, That's all I know
31:08
is church, and I know the word, and I just thank him for
31:14
just being who he said he would be in our lives. If if we
31:18
just move out the way sometimes and just allow him to be who he said
31:22
he was gonna be, then a lot of this anxiety and a lot of
31:26
this stuff that we go through, we wouldn't even go through. And that's
31:30
what I had to do. I had to move out my own way because
31:33
I was holding myself back. I was holding myself back, and I had
31:36
to move. And as soon as I moved, he just began to open
31:40
doors I'm talking about. He began to put me in places that I never
31:44
thought I would be in. He was talking about three different networks. I've
31:48
been a part of, getting inducted into the International Internet Radio Hall of Fame
31:52
and being Host of the Year on the network. Never thought that I who?
31:56
I stuttered. I'm country. I'm from lever Land. I was born
32:01
in Anderson, but I lived in never Landside most of my life. Someone
32:07
you've never heard of, Yes, I am from I'm one of those Martins
32:13
from down there, and yes, people never heard of that. They like,
32:20
yeah, one way in, one way out. Everybody on my particular
32:22
street on Black hair rod. They either my first cousin or my second cousin.
32:28
And I never thought that I would be doing a lot of the things
32:32
that I'm doing now and being able to, you know, open these different
32:37
doors and to let people know that, yes you can. Just like you
32:42
said, if you want to, you can't. You you will and you
32:45
shall if you want to. I made a post today. You know a
32:50
lot of people get discouraged and they give up. But if you put nothing
32:55
in nothing, you gonna always get nothing all day. But if you want
33:00
something out, you got to put something in all they long, nothing plusant
33:07
nothing was nothing all day. It's not gonna change if you ain't putting nothing
33:13
in here, how you expect something good to come out? Exactly? That's
33:15
it. Got to build them almost, that's it. Got to row that
33:19
boat. Mm hmm. That's it. That's it, I'm telling you.
33:24
And then we have to be careful, you know, the things that we
33:29
speak to because Proverbs, Proverbs what eighteen twenty one tell us that we have
33:32
the power in our in our in our tongue. We can speak like for
33:37
that we have that power. And see, we got to understand that God
33:42
started dealing with me with with breaking down ordinary words that we already know.
33:46
He started breaking them down into acronyms and saying, okay, this is this
33:50
is this. So with that word power, he dropped that thing in my
33:52
spirit about three years ago. He said, I position you to be an
33:58
overcomer by being in will vessel to educate, empower and encourage others through your
34:04
resilience. See, if I never went through nothing, I couldn't tell nobody
34:07
about nothing. You know what I'm saying. So he had to position me
34:10
to be that overcome and then I had to yield and be that will and
34:15
yestle so that he can use me. And then I'm walking around here and
34:20
he say, I gave you the E three experience to use it to tell
34:22
people about it, but you sit on it, he said, so now
34:25
people don't know about it. He said, you got to tell people what
34:28
it is so they can do it. Educate, empower and and courage.
34:30
That's what you placed here to do, Edelah, do it, and you
34:35
do it to showing people that you are resilient, that will and a will
34:38
that will not let you quit, that will not let you give up,
34:42
that won't let you stay in a state ned place that will not let you
34:45
stay filled. But you gotta want it. You gotta want it. I
34:50
say, you gotta want better in order to get you have to because again,
34:55
like you said, nothing from nothing leaves nothing. I mean, you
34:59
have to do something. And when we think about doing something, we think
35:04
about big, big chunks of something. We already see the final picture.
35:10
That's that's normal. But break it down into small pieces so you can actually
35:17
digest it, so to speak, and then move with with what you needed.
35:22
So we want to we don't get so overwhelmed. That's how I was
35:25
able to build. I'm not in a hurry when I get wherever it is
35:32
that God has for me to go and where I want to go. I've
35:37
started using it in that manner. God first, and then I have to
35:44
be the person. I have to have the will to do it. I
35:46
have to have the ability to do it. So I give myself some not
35:53
some of the praise, but at least say I'm working toward this. It
35:59
keeps the engine running, so to speak, so you can get the things
36:02
done that you need to get done. God himself does not want us to
36:08
not be equipped to have the things that he had the store from us for
36:15
us from the beginning. That's why I'm always unsure why when people talk about
36:23
natural products or things from the earth that it's always seen it used to be,
36:30
we're getting better, and I'm in a negative component, like that person
36:35
is doing something that doesn't necessarily line up with what God had planned. And
36:39
God planned for those trees and everything to be used for our goodness, our
36:47
wellness. And I say it that way because again, you know, we
36:52
can go to the doctors, the doctors to make diagnosis. Say that again,
37:00
because it's just ringing in my ear. Doctors make diagnoses, and without
37:04
a diagnosis, what are we treating with our herbs? We don't know,
37:12
so we could be doing ourselves more harm. And I just share that because
37:16
I'm a detox therapist. I'm not speaking out of nothing that I don't already
37:22
have a degree to be able to speak on. So I'm getting more comfortable
37:24
doing that. And that's what you said earlier. You know, we have
37:28
to walk into what it is that we are called to do, you know,
37:32
and talking about these type of topics, I want people to know also
37:37
that I offer classes. I offer classes where you can find out more about
37:42
particular herbs that can help your body to feel better, help you to feel
37:45
better. I hate when we're tired. I hate when we as people are
37:51
not able to fulfill our entire day because our bodies are so sluggish, and
37:57
detoxing helps to give you energy. In a nutshet, I just wanted to
38:00
share that it might be important to someone, and I just jumped in ast
38:06
but I wanted to make sure that I share that. And it is,
38:09
I mean, it is what you're what you are saying, it's it's very
38:15
much needed. And and and one thing we have to understand, you know,
38:19
Yeah, God plays all these different doctors, lawyers, different professions in
38:27
place because he knew that we would need them one day, and and and
38:30
we would need them for certain things. But guess what, they have license
38:35
to practice. It don't mean that they they they they know everything. They
38:40
are, they are testing this out, They're they're testing as they go.
38:45
They're they're practicing. They have license to practice. So just as they have
38:51
license to practice, He's given us. You know, if you look look
38:54
in the Bible, you go over and and and pull out your Bible and
38:59
open your Bible. He talks about these different berries and these different herbs.
39:04
And these different things. You know, the earth is supposed to be able
39:07
to heal us, and your body it will heal itself if you know how
39:14
and what to do for it to do that. You know, and every
39:19
selling your body, even your bones, will heal themselves in a certain amount
39:22
of time. And I'm telling you knowing that and knowing the different herbs and
39:30
knowing the different things, Like I hear people all the time talk about high
39:36
blood pressure and sugar, diabetes and and and and all of these different things,
39:40
and I go back and I look, and I'm looking. I'm like,
39:46
they didn't have a lot of that back in back back in the in
39:51
the days when they was just living out for because I don't remember my grandma
39:55
and them talking about all that when they they was living out for. But
40:00
they didn't have all this process food, all this stuff that we're able to
40:04
indulge your now, these sodas and all this stuff. And that's the problem.
40:10
It's nothing but chemical, yes, And that's what the problem lies.
40:15
You know, a lot of times, you know, we get caught up
40:17
in the in the pork, and we get caught up in the chicken,
40:21
and we get caught up in what is in the food. But if we
40:29
had a better quality of food, if food was handled differently, Because that's
40:36
where the problem comes in, is the way the food is being handled.
40:40
The reason I you know, just from my research and looking at it,
40:44
and I think about it that way because you know, our grandmothers and grandfathers
40:49
and their parents, they ate what they could get, but they had their
40:54
own hands on it most of the time, and it didn't go through a
40:59
lot of different problem sens to stay on the shelves longer and things like that.
41:02
So that's what the problem is coming in, is the actual way we
41:07
handle food and everything. I mean, come on, that's it. I
41:13
grew up on a farm. We we we was on a farm down there,
41:15
level land. We we we we we. We had pigs, we
41:20
had chickens, we had cows, We grew corn, we grew green everything.
41:28
Matter of fact, we used to go we used to go out to
41:30
the Jackey lot on Saturdays and the cell our vegetables and our different stuff.
41:37
Yeah, I was a little entrepreneur. I used to be out there with
41:39
the apron on and and and and wehearing wearing the corn and wearing the green.
41:44
That's right. I used to do that. The tomato, all of
41:47
that and and stuff was different there, like I truly it was different,
41:52
you know, even the meat. The water was different. But I remember
41:59
going to the well and dropping that bucket down and in the well and drawing
42:05
water coming out. And it's cold, it's already cold. And they have
42:12
no ice or no nothing drink not. Man, I'm telling you, I
42:15
missed them. Them, them them good old country days. Run out there
42:21
to the smoke house, and and and and and grab some some meat that's
42:25
being smoked like some jerk they making some jerkys or whatever. I missed them
42:30
days. Yeah, so good. And those were some times, like we
42:37
talked about all these different chemicals. They putting so many chemicals in and stuff
42:44
now. And and like you say, it's not so much the food.
42:49
It's it's how they process the food and what they do to the food.
42:53
And if you can raise your own chickens, you can, yes, go
43:00
ahead. I'm sorry. The supply and demand is the concern too, you
43:06
know. They now they have to, you know, think about it.
43:09
We got more people on the earth and everything. You know, people are
43:13
are living longer and things like that, so the supplying demand has become increasingly
43:20
important in the supply. They're trying to keep up with it and the demand,
43:24
and so they have to do certain things. It doesn't make it right,
43:29
but they do have to do certain things to meet the supply and demand
43:31
because so they're taking a lot of shortcuts. They're taking a lot of shortcuts
43:37
and doing things to so yeah, but yeah, I definitely have enjoyed chatting
43:46
with you tonight. We're definitely gonna have to get you back on in the
43:51
new year. What can we expect to see you doing in the new year.
43:55
I heard you mentioned the TV show and the radio show. How can
44:00
we connect? I know we have I have your website up. How can
44:07
we connect to your TV and your radio show? Okay, well, the
44:14
TV show is The Tippi Show, And on Facebook and TikTok and those social
44:21
media platforms it's tippy t I, P P Y s h O The Tippi
44:28
Show. You can connect there and you can see when what time I'm going
44:34
to be aware and doing what and who how you can get on the show.
44:38
You know, it is a it is a commercial based show, so
44:45
there is some commercial slot opportunities. It isn't a small investment into your business,
44:52
but you do have that option and you get in front a lot of
44:54
people locally, but if you want on a bigger platfor Cool Rhythms ninety eight
45:04
is the radio station that I've teamed up with, and I am actually one
45:07
of their radio personalities and one of their DJs, And if you come over
45:14
there and do anything, you can expect a lot of perks from the station
45:22
and a lot of what You're in front a lot of people. I know
45:24
Angelo's platforms are you're in front a lot of people as well, but you
45:29
know, it's a lot of different angles that are being given to us at
45:32
this in this season. So I'm trying to get people that want to come
45:37
on that platform, and it's www dot Cool Rhythms ninety eight dot com.
45:45
If you go there, you can actually make donations to some of my charities
45:50
as well as the radio station's charities. We all believe in the same thing.
45:54
The team is pretty solid and we believe that elder advocacy, children's advocacy,
46:02
excuse me, and domestic violence are three of the things that can really
46:08
tarnish a family. All of it can, but these are the ones that
46:15
are near and dear to our hearts. So you can go there and make
46:19
a donation and your donations will do a number of things, and you can
46:23
do it there through PayPal, and the sight is secure. I wouldn't be
46:28
sharing anything with you, and Angela can vouch for that that I hadn't already
46:31
taken the time to check and make sure it is what it is. And
46:36
you'll be in front of millions of viewers, billions of viewers. And I
46:39
come on on Sunday nights right now, and I'm on from seven about seven
46:45
till about eight thirty, and I have guests there as well, and I
46:49
play all the hits, old school, old school hits, songs you hadn't
46:54
heard since way back when that make you just think about the good time.
47:00
I can do that, and I want to make sure that y'all know that
47:04
that's what I'm gonna be doing a lot of in twenty twenty four. It's
47:08
gonna be a platform that can put everything in one spot, even including Debbie's
47:14
Got the TLLC will be there. You can also tune into anything. You
47:20
can find everything right there. And as Angela was saying, you know,
47:23
God does everything in his time, and he's not slow. And I'm gonna
47:28
leave y'all with us. He's not moving slow, he's not moving incorrectly.
47:31
He is not forgotten about what you and him talked about. And again,
47:37
don't keep going back. If you talk to him once about it, you
47:40
don't need to keep trying to remind him he heard you. If you believe
47:45
he heard you, and he'll answer every single prayer that you have for yourself,
47:52
for your family, He'll do all of it. But you can't keep
47:54
taking it back. Every time you take it back, you reset the clock
48:00
and it takes longer. Ask me how I know. So just don't reset
48:07
the clock. Just leave it right there with him, and I promise you
48:09
he'll see about it. So those are a couple of things that I'll be
48:13
doing in twenty twenty four. I'll also be doing some more modeling. I
48:19
am a fashion model with a fashion design corporation that is in Ecuador, and
48:27
it just happens to be in memory of my mom, and it's called House
48:31
of Patricia Ann's. You can find it on Instagram. And my uncle happens
48:37
to be the designer and he makes these amazing gowns and I am one of
48:42
the models. So you can look for more in fashion and things like that.
48:45
In twenty twenty four, you can also look for more of deavid It's
48:49
Got the Tea products. I'm still doing exactly what it is in that area
48:53
that I feel like it's best in this season, and that's the herbal teas.
48:59
If you're looking for something for your immune system, you're looking for something
49:01
to keep you through this crazy season we're going through. If you're looking for
49:06
something that is not going to have any I always tell people my products either
49:12
work or they don't work. Most of the time they work, but if
49:17
they don't work, you're not going to have any crazy side effects. So
49:22
that's my disclaimer. And also I am the researcher, the marketer. Everything
49:29
that goes through Debi's Got the Tea has to come through me first because it's
49:32
me and I am right now the only employee of Debbi's Got the t I
49:37
do have an intern that works with me at the store. Just giving a
49:42
little nugget so y'all know a little bit about She asked me to tell you
49:45
a little bit about it, so it took me a little while to get
49:49
comfortable, but I'm gonna tell you a little bit about the business. Real
49:52
quick. My intern is Zamil Lockhart and Zamia is my god daughter, and
50:00
through Debbit's Got the Tea, we'd like to offer ways of giving back to
50:02
the community. And while she's interning there, I show her all the ins
50:07
and outs of business, including good customer service. If you go to Google
50:13
and check out Debit's Got the t LLC, you'll see that we have a
50:16
five star review from the beginning of opening of the store up until present day.
50:22
And that's because customer service is in quality products that you can trust.
50:28
Are the two things that we live by. That is our mission statement.
50:31
And teachers I mill how to be a good employee and expect something from her
50:39
employer is what she's learning in the store. So when you come by,
50:45
if you come and visit, be sure to greet up with a warm smile.
50:50
And she's doing an amazing job. I just wanted to shout her out
50:52
in case she is watching. And I really appreciate, appreciate you, and
50:57
I can't not finish up with saying this if it was not for my daughters
51:06
and the woman that I aspire to be in their presence in their life and
51:15
show them that no matter what they want, it is obtainable if they don't
51:19
give up. If nothing else, that's what I aspire to be. And
51:25
I want to say to them in case they're watching, I love you and
51:30
I appreciate you and everything you do to make me the woman that I am.
51:36
I could not do it without you. I would not be who I
51:38
am without you, and I love both of you, so Angela, I
51:43
