  Speaker 2: here at SC book Out and Friends for a chat.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Let's come on now, bring her up, Bring her up? Hey,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Miss Dorsey, Hi, Hello, how are you?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I am ularly?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: How are you? I am doing well. I'm doing well.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you for asking. I'm glad to be here. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: am super excited, as you already know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Listen, I am all that to have you here because
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you. It's TJ and Peanut, right, yes, uh, a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: little little little peanut and TJ. That just sounds like
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: two little kids who you know, they're gonna be up
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to some stuff, you know, and they are they.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So before we go with me further, tell us a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: little bit about yourself.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I am a fifty four year old mother of
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a seven year old little boy. I am a family
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: advocate my trade. You gotta stop, girl, you know, yes, yes, yes,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I birthed him at forty six, my son I did.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And so that's the inspiration behind the book. But you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: we'll get into that. I don't want to, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: tell too much too soon. But I'm a family advocate
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: by trade. Last year, around about this time, I started
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: venturing into acting and that led to modeling, and that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: led to m seeing. That led to radio personality. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's just been like it. This has
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: been a welcoming, exciting journey for me. And so I
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: think that every day God opens up more, I learned
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: more about me. He opens up, he pulls back another layer,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: so to speak. And so this is the most that
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I have done my entire life. I'm always busy. I'm
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: always doing something. And the good thing about it is
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: my son gets to travel with me. So he's he
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: has been on some of the sets that I have
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: been on, and so he's trained to sit there and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to be quiet. As long as he's on my phone,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he's good. And so I have enjoyed this last year.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And so on top of all those things, as you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I'm an authoress. And so maybe within the next month
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the second book will come out, so we'll be connecting again.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And this is it's an adult book, adult meaning it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: just for adults. It's about lies, scandal, sex in the church.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And so so I can't wait for that to hit
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: hit the shelves, the bookshelves, because you know, I really,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I honestly believe that one is gonna do better than
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the children's book, because you know, we like some drama,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and nowadays you find in drama the most drama is,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you know, unfortunately it's being found in the church. And
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: so yeah, it's based off of things that some people
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that I know have gone through, some experiences that I
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: have had, and it's just the truth about church. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: so I've found myself starting to write the second part
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of that book, the second I guess you would say,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: like not really a sequel, but just starting on the second.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Like book number two, it's called From Innocence to Lust,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: So I haven't really given this one a name yet,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the second book. But yeah. So I enjoy writing, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I write once a month, as I was saying for
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Pretty Women Hustle magazine. So I get the pleasure to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: vent and to pour out once a month in the
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: form of writing. So I have a lot of stuff
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: going on, but it's all good. I mean, it's it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: busy for me, but it's a good busy if I.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Can see it like this, where do you rest, girl?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I do well, you know what. To be quite honest,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I do get I do get enough rest. But it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: just that once my feet hit the floor. Now, like
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I'm always doing something, And it was a period of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: time a few months ago that I was doing something
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like almost every weekend, I was doing something, but it
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: was I have enjoyed every single moment of it. And
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: one thing that God revealed to me during this time
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: is that I am an inspiration to women, you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: women and men, but primarily women. To let them know it. Really,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: God is not concerned about our age. God is concerned
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: about seasons. And when it's your season. I am a witness,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: a living witness that when it is your season, doors
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: are going to open back to back to back to
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: back to back, and you'll think, well, am I supposed
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to be doing all this stuff? Well then you say
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to yourself, well, what have you been doing before now?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And then you'll think nothing, Well, it's your season to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: do something, and so it's I it has it. It
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: hasn't fulfilled me, but then in a way it has.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I've enjoyed all of it. I have. It sounds like
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: your plea is full, your cup on it over, but
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: you are just sitting up and saying, God, I thank you.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: This is the lessons that you gave me. You knew
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: when I was, you knew what you were bleeding up.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: To, so I had my periods of rest then.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: But now, yes, yes, and hot, you got me going,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: so let's go ahead and do the work that you
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: have called me to do. I totually understand this, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: that's yeah. And that's one of the things that God
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: revealed to me maybe last year. He said, you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you haven't really been doing anything up until now, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: so everything that you're doing now, you're supposed to be
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: doing it, because what are you going to do sit
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: around and wait another ten years and wait for things?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You know, I've learned that it really don't take God
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that long to speak. It's just that we're slow to hearing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And when God answers our prayer, we second guessed him
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: by saying, well, you know, I don't know if it's God. Well,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've been praying for what twenty years? Fifteen years?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: When do you think God? You know, not to put
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a time frame on God, but sometimes we just we
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: just you know, make God, you know, just a second,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a second conversation, or we make him, we put him
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: on the back burner, and we constantly, we constantly, you know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: deny him when he's right in front of us. And
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I knew all these opportunities, I knew it was him
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: because the fruit behind it spoke volumes. And what I
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: mean by that is these different sets that I have
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: been on me and my son, I've been. God has
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: given me an awesome opportunity to minister to people, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: sometimes ministering is not always with a Bible or behind
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a pulpit. Ministry to a person can be just me
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: meeting someone on a set and striking up a conversation
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and they start telling me something that happened on their job,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and I can just simply say to them, Hey, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: went through the same thing last year. But God is able,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You know, we think ministry
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: only takes place at church. You know, we think we
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: can only be helped at church. It's not in the church,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: we said all the time. It's not in the church,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: it's outside the church. And so even in this film industry,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I have been able to minister to people, and that's
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: where I get my greatest fulfillment. Everything else is gonna
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: come if I just do the work that God has
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: sent me to do. Everything else is gonna come later.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: So I've enjoyed everything that I've done, the writing, being
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: able to take my son with me. It's just been
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: very enjoyable. It really has. And you know what you
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: said so much too. In One of the things that
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that sticks out to me is the fact that it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: not always in the church.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I have a twenty three year old son who has
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a Discoord channel where they pray, and they read the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Bible and they play video games. This is enough dy
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: playing two K and preaching the word to each other. Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm like he did say go to the highways
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: and the byways? Yeah?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Why? Like what?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And that's how I can do Look at my son
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: like yo, what and I see that. You know, we
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: gotta we we gotta go where they are, you know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: in what you're doing and talking to them when it
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: comes to you if you're on the set or maybe
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: if you're at an office signing you giving them them
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: that time and witnessing to them and taking that knowledge
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: that God has giving you and the stuff that God
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: isn't planning you and blessing them with some words you
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you just don't know how you you you would y
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: minister to somebody in that Yeah, with the time and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: you know what it. The reason why I know that
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: this time in my life is God ordained is because
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I've always been a recluse. I've always been the individual
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: who I don't have to have a lot of people
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: around me. I don't always have to be going somewhere
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: and doing something. I'm content with coming home, you know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: getting my bath, getting my son bathed, you know, we
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: get something to eat and we watch TV. He runs
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: around the house or you know, plays his game. You know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I've always been with that, going to church and going
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to work and come home. But you know, God spoke
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: to me last year. He said, how are you going
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to how are you going to minister to people? How
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: are you going to meet these make these new relationships
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: and create these bonds If you're doing it on the sofa,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: He said, you can't. He said, You're gonna have to
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: get out of your comfort zone and you're gonna have
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: to get up and go. And I've always been the
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: type of person that I don't drive a lot, especially
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: long long distance you know, journey or trip. And so
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: most of the sets that I'm on is either in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Houston or Dallas, so I'm right in between both. And
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: so being that I never was a driver like that,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: God really took me out of my comfort zone. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I'm like, who's gonna drive me? And so my sister
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: lives in Houston. I'm Sissy Pool, She's Sissy Do And
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: so I call her and I say, hey, you know
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna start doing X y Z. You know, can
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you drive for me? And she was like, no, ma'am.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: She said, you're gonna get your GPS. She said, you're
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: gonna get up. If you have to be there at three,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: you leave thirty minutes earlier than the normal person would,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and you give yourself time in case you get lost.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: She said, you're gonna do it on your own. She said,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: because what if you didn't have me to ask? She said,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: would you put your dreams on the shelf? And my
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: answer was no, because I had a I was gonna
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: be on this lady's talk show. She started a talk show.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It's called the Goldie Drake Show, and it's up by Dallas.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And so I had gotten used to Houston, but Dallas
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: that was a horse of a different cus. I'm like,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know Dallas like that. My sister lives in Houston,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: and so I had asked my husband to drive me,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: and so we talked about it several times. But he
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: has his job and he has stuff he has to do,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and then he had a surgery that was coming up,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and so in between all of that, he said, I
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: can't take you. Oh my heart was broken. I was devastated.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I was I'm telling you. I called my sissy, dude
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and I cried like a baby. And she's tougher than me,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and like, I'm the suburb's sister and she's the down
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: in the hood sister. And so she said, drat your
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: face up. She said, get yourself together. She said, you're
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: gonna drive your She said, no, ma'am, I'm not driving you.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: She said, you're going to drive yourself. And I braced myself.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I got the address, I put it in GPS. From
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: that moment to the day, I prayed. When I tell you,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't get lost. When I tell you it was,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: it was a fun trip. It was an eventful trip.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I made the interview. I was on her talk show.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I was her first guest, and I did not want
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to miss that because that was such an honor for
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: her to reach out to me and say, I would
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: like for you to be my first guest. So that
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: was like something that was on my heart to do.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: And I am telling you, I am so thankful to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: God because he did it. He allowed it, and he'd
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: let me know, see, you don't have to have what
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: you think you need because I'm all you need. So
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you that gave me such a I was like,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: ain't nobody gonna tell me what I can't do. And
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: so I think I thank God that he puts people
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: in place to give you those words of encourage me
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: when you need them, because you know, had she not
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: been in my life or we had a good relationship
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: because some siblings don't, you know, I would have fumbled
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the blessing. And so that was another word that God
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: gave me last year when all of this started. He said,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: don't fumble the blessing. Don't fumble it. And that he
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: told me that that means that I can't fumble the blessing.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: And so again I have had so much fun. I've
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: made so many new relationships and new friends and you know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: such as yourself, you know, and I just I wouldn't
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: trade anything for it. I would not. So let's talk.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: About this book, y'all. I'm about to bring the title,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, the book up. This is the cutest little book,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you guys. Look at this cover, Look at that at you.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Guys, ain't that the cutest?
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: The benches of little Peanut and TJ. So what brought
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: this book along? What was why Little Peanut and TJ?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Well, when I was carrying my son Trent, my sissy dude.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: While he was in the womb, she started calling him
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: little Peanut. And so when she would see me, she
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: would come up to my stomach and she would say, hi,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Auntie Glam's little peanut, because she's Auntie Glam. And so
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: she would talk to him and call him little peanut
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: while he was in my wound. And so when I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: decided to write the book, I said, little peanut and TJ.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: TJ is my still birth that my husband and I had,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: and so I was only able to carry him to
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: five months and we had him cremated. And so that's
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: who TJ is. And so the book is, it's a
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: book that God allowed me to write that turned my
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: misery into something that was happy and joyful because the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: book is about receiving your joy and your peace when
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: God presents it to you. And so that's just a
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: little bit about how you know the book, you know
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: came to pass. When you got that copy of that
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: of your book in your hand, it's like your birthday
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: and new baby.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: How did you.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Get see you when you first had your copy of it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't think that, I thought to myself, I said, well,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: the publishing company did a wonderful job. I didn't expect
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: it to be, you know, hardcover, because it's a hardcover.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Once I got past that, I got into the emotional
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: part of it, and when I just you know, when
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I went through it and I read it. You know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the characters are named after some of my family members,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: because I like to try to impart my family into
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: whatever I'm doing. And so when I read it, it
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: was like, this is a sea, this was once a
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: seed that has flourished. And so that God allowed me
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to get that done, it just let me know that
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: he can do it again. And it inspired me to
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: start writing, you know, from Innocence to Us. Then my
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: husband and I actually wrote that together. Just the idea came.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: We were driving down the highway to Dallas and I was
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: reading a book because at the time my goal was
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to read a book a month, and so I was
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: reading a book and it was about church, our church,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: and I said, you know what, I said, I think
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: we can write a book. And so I just got
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a notebook and I started writing, and he would give
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: me his ideas, and you know, we just kind of
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you know, had a little collaboration happening, and so now
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: it should be completely done. I would say within about
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: a month, and I've already started on book number two
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: that follows from Innocence to Lust, and so, you know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I just you know, I've always been a paper and pencil,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: carrying books around when I was in elementary school and
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: going to the library. But even way back then, those
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: were seeds. Those were seeds that are now they're blooming.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: You know, it's coming up and everything is beautiful because
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: it's in God's season, so it's not going to be
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: anything else but beautiful. So you know, again, I'm just
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I'm honored, I'm thankful, I'm grateful. But the one thing
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: that I have to be able to move past is
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: my age. I keep saying, why didn't I do this
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: when I was in my thirties? Why is this happening
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: in my fifties? And I think I have to get
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: caught up, like I feel like I have to always,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: you know, be getting caught up, you know, to catch
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: up with And you know, God always reminds me it's
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: not about your timing and season. It's about my timing
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: and season. Sit back, relax, enjoy where I have.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: You.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Enjoy the now because you can't go back. And this
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: is what God is saying to me as I just
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: sit here, he said, you can't go back and redeem
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the time, but I can. So you just enjoy where
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: you are now, and you let me redeem the time.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: That's my responsibility. Your responsibility is just to do what
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I put in front of you. Because he's saying that
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: you weren't ready right then, that it was not ready
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: right then. You know, when you're baking and cake, I
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: can't smell good now, but you can't take it out.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Because it's not ready. So you're ready at that point
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: in time.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: He said, yeah, you are read.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I need to let you cook a little bit more.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Knowing you're ready, I need to let you cook a
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: little bit more. Then he said, you are perfect right now,
• 24:01
