- 4:06want to welcome you guys to our final episode of the Crew podcast. I
- 4:14tell you it has truly been a season. I tell you I wouldn't trade
- 4:19it for anything in the world. If you're tuning in, if you're tune
- 4:27in in the beginning, you had a chance to see some of the amazing
- 4:30hosts their intros. I tell you, it has truly been an amazing year.
- 4:42I tell you to see these amazing queens grow to step outside of the
- 4:48box, to do something that they could only imagine one and to excel in
- 4:56it. When I say moving excellence, I can honestly say that they have
- 5:03truly moved and excellent. And I am proud to, you know, recognize
- 5:11them and honor them, and you know, continue to show them to the
- 5:15world because they deserve it. I know a lot of them probably never pictured
- 5:23themselves in the place where they are now. I sit back and I watch
- 5:29them host shows and interview individuals and just a conversation that they have if they
- 5:38could just see themselves, because I know they probably don't even go back and
- 5:42look at the videos, because I hardly ever go back and look at anything
- 5:46that I do, because I just like to bask in the moment and enjoy
- 5:54the moment. And it's just exciting to me to sit back and watch them
- 6:00maneuver and to watch them impact lives around the world and it's not about them,
- 6:06and I see that, you know, for a moment, it was
- 6:12a trend where people were saying, I understood the assignment. Well, I
- 6:17could honestly say that they understood the assignment because they walked it out. Even
- 6:25when they wanted to give up, they wanted to throw in the towel,
- 6:29they walked it out. They still here. They are the founding crew of
- 6:34The Crew podcasts, and I'm just elated to be able to close out the
- 6:42season with them, and as we prepare for season two and impacting the world,
- 6:49y'all, I'm a move out the way and I'm going to allow them
- 6:53to come up one by one and introduce themselves, reintroduce themselves, because y'all,
- 7:00we have truly grown over the course of this season. I remember starting
- 7:05out we had three hundred followers. We have not grown to over a thousand
- 7:12followers. And when I say constant followers, they don't just follow us,
- 7:15y'all. They have liked our page, they share our page, and they
- 7:19engage in our page. I was just sharing some statistics and some insight of
- 7:27you know, how people have supported our page. You know, even though
- 7:30there's only a thousand and one hundred likes, we reach about five thousand people.
- 7:39You know, they may not respond, they may not interact, but
- 7:44the fact that we're able to reach them and it speaks volumes to these six
- 7:49amazing hosts. So, y'all, I'm gonna move out the way, give
- 7:53them an opportunity to come up and sell a little bit before we close out
- 7:59and prepare for the year. I'm gonna start with Black Diamond. You're muted.
- 8:22Still can't hear you, Still can't hear you. I don't know what's
- 8:41going on with the technology, but I'm gonna bring Charita up and see it.
- 8:46Tarita Tarda, can you hear me? Yes, ma'am. Okay,
- 8:56I don't know what's going on, but Black Diamond can't hear me. You
- 9:07can hear any of us, says She can't hear me either. Well,
- 9:22I can hear you. I can't hear Black No, she can hear you.
- 9:31We can't hear Black Diamond, she said. She says, she thanks
- 9:37hers so much. I'll just tell you what. Okay, Well, I'm
- 9:48gonna move her down and now I know that we can't hear her, and
- 9:54let you go ahead and introduce yourself. Now we're gonna bring her back up.
- 9:58Okay, Well, you guys. I am Trevita Harris. I am
- 10:03the podcast host of Believing the Journey and this season helped me to step outside
- 10:11of my comfort zone and into a space that was really uncomfortable. And each
- 10:16and every time I've gotten in front of this camera with each and every one
- 10:20of my guests, I've always been very nervous and not really sure of where
- 10:28the show was going to go. But I was always comfortable with my guests
- 10:31and comfortable enough for them to share with me to where they didn't know that
- 10:35I was really uncomfortable. So that was the best part about it is that,
- 10:41you know, they didn't know how shy I am. It says I'm
- 10:46muted now, I don't can you hear me? No, you can't hear
- 10:56me. You're not muted. I can hear you, Okay, I can
- 11:01hear you, Okay, Okay, Well then I'll continue. Black Domin says
- 11:05that she can't hear me, so maybe it's something on her end that she
- 11:09can't hear. I can't hear us, and we can't hear her, so
- 11:13maybe she needs to go out and come back in. I don't know,
- 11:20but I can hear you, okay, okay, okay. But the growth
- 11:28that I've seen within myself that was good. You know. I am looking
- 11:45forward to season two. There's so much more in store, and I know
- 11:48that God actually placed me in this space to be able to be who He's
- 11:54created me to be, and I'm slowly stepping into that and not being a
- 12:00afraid of who He's created me to be. So whatever he instills and in
- 12:05places in front of me, I'm not gonna be so shy or hesitant to
- 12:11stay in the background. Also, having you as a mentor and somebody who's
- 12:15gonna push you when you see something, I already know that that's coming.
- 12:20So there's no need to be afraid, and there's no need to be ashamed.
- 12:22There's no need to, you know, have fear because as long as
- 12:26we're walking with God and you are our leader, there's nothing that we can't
- 12:33do. So twenty twenty four is gonna be powerful, and God is gonna
- 12:37show up and show out even more so than he did this season. Hey
- 12:43man, I truly believe that, and every word you just spoke, I
- 12:48mean it is so true. And I thank you for stepping out of your
- 12:56box and stepping out of your comfort zone. I just thank you for me
- 13:01and just who you are and being the leader that you are, because sometimes
- 13:05we just need that extra push. We just need that that love and push,
- 13:09because yeah, for so long we've put up that you put up that
- 13:13that barrier, put up that wall. And I understand because I was that
- 13:18person. I did that. I walked around people to know if they could
- 13:24love me or if they took turn and run the other way. But I
- 13:28would give you the shirt off my back. And yeah, you couldn't understand
- 13:31that. How how when breath you would give me the shirt off your back,
- 13:35but then you ready to rip me apart and throw me away. But
- 13:39it was just how it was just how I I was, I was raised,
- 13:46you know, it was just how the experience that I had been through
- 13:50that that that that taught me that. So I had to unlearn those things
- 13:54in order to learn how to love and and and watching you and hearing you
- 14:00because some of the things that you spit is some of the things that you
- 14:03know I had to do. You know, these are things that I had
- 14:05to do with my life. And to be able to hear other people sharing
- 14:11it with somebody else, because there was a point when I didn't have that.
- 14:16So I be encouraged by listening to y'all and I just sit back and
- 14:20then I'm not that much older than a lot of y'all, but the fact
- 14:26that you know, I can sit back and I can be like, dang,
- 14:28that's my little sister, look at her and just be so happy over
- 14:33here. But I think Black Diamond got her technical stuff fixed. I'm gonna
- 14:37see if I can bring her back up. And thank you again for sharing.
- 14:43If you will, please tell everybody when your show is gonna be on,
- 14:46But hang around, don't go nowhere, because at the end my show,
- 14:52yeah, we're gonna talk about second season, but I'm gonna bring Black
- 14:58Diamond tol this show come on. My show comes on every second Sunday and
- 15:05fourth Thursday of every month at eight pm. Tune in because you're gonna get
- 15:11a lot of I can say information, God talk because that's who leads me
- 15:16and guides me. So if that is who leads your household and your life,
- 15:22then don't miss any episodes of Believing the Journey because we all got one
- 15:26and it all has a purpose that's connected to what He's created you to do.

- 15:58herself. I'm gonna have to go jump off and jump off my other computer

- 20:12Amen. Amen, right still, thank you. I don't know what's going
- 20:25on, did you. I was gonna ask her that she go on her
- 20:30settings on her computer. And sometimes you have to go on your settings on
- 20:33your computer. Because it may be something in her down because sometime in a
- 20:42switch and yeah, it'll mute you if you're not in the right thing.
- 20:49So you have to go in and make sure that you're in the right the
- 20:53right camera and the right audience, like yeah, on your what's the name?

- 21:52the same time, so but here, sometimes you just have to check your
- 21:56saying and make sure that you're on the right camera and the right what's the
- 22:00name, because sometimes that stuff would just jump out by ourself. I don't
- 22:03know why I do that, but it's gonna need it to me several times.

- 25:10and I think you guys like every time I think about it, I just
- 25:14I am very grateful because you don't find people that you don't know and you're
- 25:21in different parts of the country any that you guys did. And I am
- 25:26very grateful for opportunity to even do a podcast or something that I've been wanted
- 25:34to do for the longest time, and to be able to do it.
- 25:40It's just like, Okay, this is another list or another thing that I
- 25:48was able to cross off of my things to do that I wanted to do,
- 25:51or goals or actuations. So I am very grateful that I have the
- 25:56opportunity to do it. For next season, we're just gonna come back bigger
- 26:03and better we have We're going to reach more people than we did this season,
- 26:08and not just for me, but for everybody. We're going to be
- 26:11a We're going to reach more people that didn't expect that we're going to reach.
- 26:15So I just I just love that we are we are women that are
- 26:22feared, and we walk in our authority and we walk in our own knowing,
- 26:27owning who we are and knowing who we are, and we want to
- 26:32continue to reach and touch and inspire different people. So that that's that's all
- 26:37I got for tonight. All right, all right, Black Donald, Hi,
- 26:44everybody, This is Black Diamond. I am with Basic Black after Dark
- 26:48the first and third Fridays of the month at eight pm. And I touch
- 26:53on many different stories. We have touched on Pans Garantine, We did mental
- 27:00health, we did child support. We just were all over the place with
- 27:07any stories that were out there we did. We do authors, We do
- 27:11human interest stories, which I think is more of my favorite. I am
- 27:15also a social record, so I delve into those personal stories and just dig
- 27:21into it and do a lot of research and just try to bring it all
- 27:25together to give people a better understanding of what's going on around them and what's
- 27:30going on with themselves as well, so they can get in touch and stay
- 27:33in touch with themselves. So that's me in a nutshell. Next year,
- 27:38I have some amazing guests that's already lined up that jumped at it and said
- 27:44yes, we want to be on your show. I have a special show
- 27:47that's coming up. I believe in March, we have a mini series with
- 27:52a young lady and I am so excited to bring her out and to be
- 27:56able to let her tell her story in her way. And I'm very excited
- 28:00about that. It's just been a wonderful ride. It's been a journey that
- 28:07I didn't think that I would take, but I am so happy that I
- 28:11did. I have some wonderful sisters with me on this ride, who you
- 28:15are seeing tonight. I thank Angela for opening up this platform for me as
- 28:21well as for everybody else and even for the guests, because without her allowing
- 28:25me to sit on this platform, I wouldn't be able to bring those guests
- 28:27on in order for them to share their story. So I thank you for
- 28:32that. And I wish everybody a happy and safe new Year. And thank
- 28:37you again everywhere. Thank you, Thank you. Latania. Hey everyone,
- 28:47I am Latania Little John most of Delay but not Denied. My show airs
- 28:55on the second Monday and fourth Friday of every month, and my platform is
- 29:06human Nature. I mean, because we all have a story to tell,
- 29:11you know. God. I came up with the title Delayed but Not Denied
- 29:17based off of the book that I had written, and also because It's true
- 29:22we may be delayed, but what God has for us has never denied to
- 29:26us. So that's my show in a nutshell. I'm looking forward to twenty
- 29:33twenty four. Twenty twenty three has been a ride. I've enjoyed the journey.
- 29:41I've met some incredible people from different walks of life. Shout out to
- 29:45you, miss Queen of Collaborations, for being the woman that you are in
- 29:52front of the camera and behind the camera, and just everybody in our podcast
- 29:59family. All means so much to me. I couldn't have done any of
- 30:04this on my own. Trevita, A shout out to you for being the
- 30:11person that led me, even though you didn't know that you led me.
- 30:15You led me to this and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- 30:18And so with that being said, I love you all. I'm blessed
- 30:22to know you all. I can't wait to see what God has for each
- 30:26and every one of you in twenty twenty four. So let's do it well.
- 30:36Amen, Amen, Amen, Patriaid, Hey, everybody, she is,
- 30:41she's watching. I don't know why she didn't jump on, but she
- 30:48so at least she feel enough to, you know, support us by watching.
- 30:56So I'm thankful for that, I tell you, being in a place
- 31:07of being able to be a sister, a a friend, a mentor a
- 31:18person that can listen because I tell you, this journey has not been easy.
- 31:30It has not and being able. Thank you guys for believing in the
- 31:37vision and trust in the vision Mary, because if you didn't trust me and
- 31:48believe in the vision, we wouldn't be right here today. So thank you
- 31:53guys for putting trust in me and and trusting the vision here and believing in
- 32:02the vision. Because you could have said, I have my own vision,
- 32:12I have my own brand, I have my own and not thought about us
- 32:16as a whole and how many we can impact together, but you did.
- 32:22You put yourself aside to think about the bigger picture. And for that I
- 32:30am forever grateful. I am for ever grateful. If you don't truly know
- 32:39me and understand me, then right now I'm really fighting back a lot of
- 32:46tears. Yeah, we know, I'm thankful and I'm grateful. I mean,
- 32:57you can let it out. We understand, because is this moment was
- 33:05envisioned months ago when you wanted to start this. This was way before you
- 33:13even made it public. For anybody else. It was a conversation that you
- 33:16and God had and he connected you to the people to bring forth this vision.
- 33:23And with him putting that vision in your hands and connecting the people that
- 33:30needed to be connected to this vision is why we've been so successful. You
- 33:37know, he connected. It's always by God's design. You know, even
- 33:43when we try to run away from it, He's gonna tap you on the
- 33:46shoulder, I'll turn around, come on back here. I got something for
- 33:49you to do. And that's basically what he's done. Every time one of
- 33:53us had a moment of doubt, a moment of uncertainty, he was always
- 34:00right there through you, letting us know that we could do it, you
- 34:06know, and the support that we've shown to each other. There's never been
- 34:09a cup that has not been filled by the overflow of what you give to
- 34:15each and every one of us. And so you're the big cup that fills
- 34:20the smaller cups that we refill your cups so that you're never empty. And
- 34:24that's the beauty of everything that we've done. So with that being said,
- 34:30we're gonna go into twenty twenty twenty four already filled up. But our overflow
- 34:37is what's going to carry others who are needed to be connected to what we
- 34:43got to share with them, because God has something in store for us that
- 34:47we don't even know what's coming. But it's going to be a blessing to
- 34:52those that are tuning in and coming to be a part of what we got
- 34:59going on and on. So give yourself some some creak, some grace right
- 35:05now. If you want to cry, girl, gone cry. She don't
- 35:07tears because we know why they're there and you deserve it. Wow, well
- 35:15I am definitely. I'm grateful. Thank you. Jumping on for trees,
- 35:22she says. She sounds like a man, So I do sound like bad
- 35:32under the weather? Oh lord, Yeah, y'all can't see me any night.
- 35:40Got look a heart mess. It's okay. Last time I had my
- 35:45bunnet on, girl, I should have found man. I just it's all
- 35:52about and and and that's what I tell people Sometimes it's not about how you
- 35:58look when you show up. Yeah, you know, because why are you
- 36:07there? You can go through a transformation and you don't know who needs to
- 36:12see what you're going through to know that if you showed up in this condition,
- 36:17they can show up in theirs. That's what it's all about. You
- 36:21know, we try to hide our scars because we don't want to be judged
- 36:25by our scars. But our scars are who what makes us. God knows
- 36:30those scars are there. He creates the purpose for the scar, so he
- 36:35uses that to you to help somebody else. So however, you show up
- 36:39whatever scars you have, that's part of the testimony that you have to share
- 36:44with everybody else. Love she does preached me in the four I mean time.
- 37:00We don't want to we don't want to own up to our own truth
- 37:04and allow our own truth to to come come forth. But it's the truth.
- 37:09I mean you know you understand that. And once we begin to move
- 37:15into that, a lot of things will become clear in our lives and a
- 37:19lot of things will begin to line up. But God wants God wants his
- 37:24message placed in the atmosphere. He doesn't care what we look like and how
- 37:34we get it out there. Like y'all, you you do not even understand.
- 37:38Like having to have assist on my jaw and have all my teeth removed
- 37:45in my early forties and then to actually show up on a few podcasts without
- 37:52teeth lets me know that God is really using me because it's not about my
- 37:59appearance. My message is not for me. You know, God speaks through
- 38:05me for somebody else. So regardless of what I look like on what I'm
- 38:09going through, God is still gonna use me. So and he's still gonna
- 38:14use you. You, you, and you so right, it's beautiful.
- 38:28We were created and God's so we were already perfect before anything. So societal
- 38:34judgments means nothing because you are created in his image, so you were already
- 38:37perfect. So anything that you do to alter his vision of who he created
- 38:43you to be, you're messing up the perfection and which he created. And
- 38:46you can't mess up God's perfection. You know, he knows exactly what he
- 38:52created when he instilled you and placed you in your mother's womb, he knew
- 38:55what he had. It's up to us to walk in that part purpose in
- 39:00which He's created for us. And sometimes, yeah, we get a little
- 39:04hard headed, we go a little stray, and we try to do whatever
- 39:07it is that we want to do, but God always causes us back and
- 39:10be like, look here, I'll told you you may have free wheel,
- 39:15but I got the last say, so came back in do what I told
- 39:17you to do. This is what your assignment is in this season. And
- 39:22the scars that we try to hide, the stories that we've been through that
- 39:25other people try to shame us for, are the things that they keep hidden
- 39:30that they never heal from because they want to keep it hidden, but they
- 39:34want to place judgment upon somebody else. Don't judge me if you're not gonna
- 39:37tell me your story too. You got to speak up on what you've been
- 39:40going through because you can't heal from things that you keep buried. You'll never
- 39:46heal from that, and you'll never grow. And you wonder why people are
- 39:51walking around here bitter and angry because they want confront themselves. You gotta take
- 39:55a look in the mirror and say, Okay, this is what I've been
- 39:59going through. This is the real version of who I am. And when
- 40:01you accept what you see looking in the mirror, your reflection, you will
- 40:05understand what your purpose is and what your goals are. Because God created you
- 40:09in that space, so he knows what it is. There's nothing that you
- 40:13can do or say that He has not already known what is in your heart.
- 40:16So you just got to be mindful of that, know what God has
- 40:22for you, and walk in the purpose of that. Stop running from it,
- 40:25because the more you try to run from the more He's going to be
- 40:28intensified in getting you where he needs you to be. Your assignment is what
- 40:32He's called it to be in this season. It's never delayed. It might
- 40:37be a little delayed, but it ain't denied because God knows when the timing
- 40:43is. We try to put timelines on what God has for us. God
- 40:46don't work on our timelines, and the more we understand that He does not
- 40:51work on our timeline, we will be in a better place to receive what
- 40:57it is. And don't be so heavily planted in a space where you think
- 41:00God can't uproot you from. Stop holding on the things that God is telling
- 41:07you. It's time for you to let go in this season and move on
- 41:09to get what He has for you tomorrow. But you want to hold on
- 41:15to well, and you don't realize how much you're hurting by holding on to
- 41:22what you He's taken away from you. What He has is always greater.
- 41:25He's never gonna give you less. Stand and that's what we don't understand God.
- 41:30If he's telling you to let go of something, he has something greater
- 41:34on the other side. So let go of whatever it is. Whatever you
- 41:37will need to leave in twenty twenty three, leave it here because it's not
- 41:40for you to take into twenty twenty four. So whatever you've been wrestling with,
- 41:45feeling uncomfortable with, whatever that is, leave it in twenty twenty three
- 41:50because it does not deserve to be in your twenty twenty four whatever it is.
- 41:55Okay, y'all, I'm gonna shut up, she said, she was
- 42:00shy. Whatever, girl, that's a whole that's a whole summoning that I
- 42:13hope somebody received. You know, it's a whole sermon that for I tell
- 42:20you, I tell you that that that that is why I do what I
- 42:24do. And I am so grateful that you know, mm hmm. People
- 42:30don't understand. Five six years ago this would have been me. I was
- 42:37like, I thank God, like it ain't. No. He gave me
- 42:45a second chance, because my second chance was a long, long, long
- 42:47time ago. He gave me another chance. And and we gotta stop saying
- 42:53second chance, because it's another chance. Every day. He gave us another
- 43:00chance. Yeah, that's a choice and a chance. It's every day another
- 43:07chance to get it right. What are you going to do with those chances
- 43:10that it gives you? We we oftentimes make excuses. Okay, y'all,
- 43:15I'm gonna stop. No, I ain't because God keep he keeps telling me
- 43:24we don't have time copany. Yeah, And there's a difference between a reason
- 43:30and an excuse, but people have plenty of excuses as to why they don't
- 43:35do something. If you don't have a solidified reason where you can't speak but
- 43:40you can write, so you don't really have an excuse. If you can
- 43:45get up, if you got breath in your body, you got a reason
- 43:49to do what God has called you to do. So stop sitting there saying
- 43:52because listen, I lost my speech, I lost my ability to walk,
- 43:58So I understand what it is that God has for me. I didn't know.
- 44:04Doctors didn't know what was going on. They couldn't tell me why I
- 44:07couldn't talk. They couldn't tell me none of that stuff. And I was
- 44:10told by neurologists just get used to it. Okay, Well, me and
- 44:15God had a conversation. I couldn't talk, but I could sing, so
- 44:19when I started singing, I brought my speech back. So there are moments
- 44:25where it's like I will drop something because my hands get a little weak.
- 44:31My left side is a little weak. But if you see me walk and
- 44:34you hear me talk right now, it's because God said that there's something else
- 44:37that he needs me to do with this voice. Now, I will tell
- 44:40y'all, but y'all know, y'all don't believe it. But I am very
- 44:46shy. This is not of me. This is what God said for me
- 44:51to do. So whenever he is talking to me, I relay what he's
- 44:54saying and doing what he told me to do. So whatever I have been
- 44:59through, I share it because I could be angry, I could be bitter.
- 45:04I watch my mom be being raped at fourteen, you know, going
- 45:09through so many different things. I have been through that, but I didn't
- 45:14let that stop me. All I learned to do was ask God what am
- 45:17I supposed to endure all of this for? And as I get older,
- 45:22each and every time I go through something, I understand that there was a
- 45:25lesson and I needed it to get to the next level that He's taken me
- 45:29to. So whatever you're going through, and whenever you're uncomfortable, understand that
- 45:34God is shifting something for you in that space, So ask can what he's
- 45:39shifting in order for you to be able to receive what He has for you,
- 45:45because he's not going to take you through it if he doesn't have a
- 45:46purpose for it. And if he doesn't have a purpose for it, then
- 45:51it's not of God. It has nothing to do with him. But there's
- 45:54a purpose in each and everything that you've gone through. If you've been down
- 45:58in that dirt, down in that vel, understand that you gotta climb that
- 46:01heell because there's something on the other side of it for you. So know
- 46:07that when God is talking to you, sometimes we get so busy we don't
- 46:12even We say God's not listening. No, you haven't been still long enough
- 46:15to hear what he's saying to you. Because he's been talking to you for
- 46:17a long time, but you've ignored him. But you've listened to everyone else,
- 46:22but you haven't taken the time to sit down and listen to what he's
- 46:24saying to you. When was the last time you sat still, sat quietly
- 46:30and heard God talk to you. Because he's been he's been talking, you
- 46:34just haven't had the time to listen. So when you have the time to
- 46:37listen, you will hear him clearly in everything that you start to do.
- 46:54Girl, Hey cocoll see, I'm sick. Oh nope, not that one.
- 47:15Oh pretty laughing at you. She's gonna do it her way, right
- 47:24said, let me touch something. Mm hmm. She's like, I'm part
- 47:30of the show, so I don't care what you're talking about. It's my
- 47:32time to shine. Is not having that mm hmmmm. But I will you
- 47:47not like that? She said, Look watch see she put her hand away.
- 47:53She said that ain't right. That a right her before you made that
- 48:04drastic change that was not in her vocabulary, she said. She said she
- 48:08won't touch my hands, she'll push them a racial slap me. I just
- 48:15want to say them down like that didn't If God has laid it on to
- 48:22a podcast, this is the greatest opportunity right now. You know, we
- 48:30still have room and we're growing and learning as we grow, So come grow
- 48:38with us. Nine dollars is not bad because you're getting training and we do
- 48:46in the film, and you get a sisterhood like none other. So I
- 48:53mean, we genuinely love each other. You know, I couldn't imagine not
- 49:05doing this. You know, Treviny can contest to it. I procrastinate about
- 49:13everything. If it doesn't work out for me in the first five minutes.
- 49:17Usually I'm out, She's gone, she gone, I have no time for
- 49:24it. But this this was different. I'm just saying, she really will
- 49:30run like a track star. I don't stay with nothing too long. M
- 49:34she ain't gonna do it, you know. And that's why I saw her
- 49:37the other day that I was extremely proud of her for showing up because she
- 49:44has been consistent in running like she has the first place award for it,
- 49:51but she got nothing on my She stuck to it. Listen, she stuck
- 49:59to it, and she showed up for herself each and every time, and
- 50:05that is that's amazing for her, you know. And that's why I told
- 50:09her the other day that I was extremely proud because I know how she was,
- 50:15you know, but this was her time and this was her season to
- 50:20be able to show who she is and stop hiding also behind her disability,
- 50:27her insecurities, all of the above, because that was one of the things
- 50:32that she would always do. I'm gonna tell this little story about how she
- 50:38Yeah, I'm gonna tell the story. Yeah, I'm gonna tell the story
- 50:43because I feel like they need to know the background as to why you used
- 50:46to run all the time, and you just the track star of running.
- 50:51Okay, y'all, I went to college. I started college at thirty five,
- 50:57and I was going to my classes and we had a family and friends'
- 51:01day event coming up. Now, mom'd you? I asked her if she
- 51:05wanted to come now. I did this two weeks in advance, and yeah,
- 51:10two weeks in advance because I wanted her to come on the day that
- 51:15I spent the most hours in class, so that she can get a feel,
- 51:17so that she can, you know, understand that what opportunities are out
- 51:22there for her if she just gets out of her comfort zone. So,
- 51:25needless to say, the two weeks comes, and the day of her coming
- 51:31to a family and friends guess what she does. She texts me and says,
- 51:36Oh, I'm not feeling well. My stomach hurt. I'm having stomach
- 51:40issues. And at first I was like, I had already planned, I
- 51:45had already anticipated her not wanting to go. But I got mad. I
- 51:50got real irritated, and so I text her back. I said, let
- 51:54me go ahead and tell you something. I'm in pain every single day that
- 51:59I go to school. I have left this building in an ambulance because I
- 52:02didn't feel well, but I was not going to stop what I had started.
- 52:07I said, so, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and get
- 52:09dressed because I ain't finished getting dressed, but I'll be there in five minutes
- 52:13to pick you up because we're not having that. So when I got there
- 52:17to pick her up, she was dressed and ready, and I asked her
- 52:22as soon as she got in, call who you thought you was talking to,
- 52:24because it wasn't me, because you was going today, you gonna see
- 52:30what you need to see. Because I told her, you got to step
- 52:32outside of the box that you keep yourself confined to. You can find yourself
- 52:37to a box, but you want to see the outside world, and you
- 52:38keep peeping over the top. Well, you have the power to break out
- 52:42of that box and step into who God's created you to be. But you
- 52:45want to be comfortable in the box. It's time to outgrow the box because
- 52:49literally, you have so comfortable in the box. More so for me is
- 52:57my thing has always been. I've always felt like whatever was meant for me
- 53:01would find me. Like I feel like everything that people do, I supported
- 53:08you because you're my best friend. And like, I've never had a desire
- 53:14to go to college that that's just never been my cup of tea because I
- 53:17struggled to even going to school and let alone trying to go go higher.
- 53:22I was like, no, that ain't for me. But I will say,
- 53:28even with each and every one of you, if you call me and
- 53:32and and need me for anything, I may complain about it, but I'm
- 53:38I'm gonna show up. That's who I am. I show up for people.
- 53:42I don't know now that is. But my whole thing with you was
- 53:49you got you can't just show up for everybody else. You got to show
- 53:52up for you too. Yeah, I mean, but that's always God gave
- 54:00me the heart for people. And you know, I'm learning how to not
- 54:06even put myself first, but place myself where I'm not neglecting myself. It's
- 54:14not about me being first. It's not about because you know, everybody's in
- 54:21this race to be first. And well, I'm gonna stop you right there,
- 54:27and I'm almost I'm gonna step in on this journey as a podcaster and
- 54:35not just as a podcaster, because not only you guys get an opportunity because
- 54:39you are in front of the camera. It's more than just being a podcast,
- 54:45because podcast is mostly if you go and you listen to a lot of
- 54:51the podcasts, it's all about the voice. But you get an opportunity to
- 54:54be in front of the camera, so you are or the journey. So
- 55:00you get an opportunity to truly speak your truth and allow others to speak their
- 55:06truth with facts, and you get a broader opportunity to be in front of
- 55:13people that you probably never thought you would be in front of because of the
- 55:17different platforms that we use and then our individual platforms like I'm so excited about
- 55:28you know what God is doing? Yeah, God knew everything about us.
- 55:32He knew that it would be this day before we were even a mere thought,
- 55:37before our parents knew each other. This was a part of the master
- 55:44plan. This was our part of that plan. Of him saying it was
- 55:47done, it was finished, everything was complete. Yeah, that was done.
- 55:52It's all about us walking into our destiny. It's all about all of
- 55:58us mention up with that that He had already ordained for us. It's so
- 56:02much more. It don't stop here because the vision that He's given me is
- 56:07so much bigger. But we gotta believe it. Right, as a group,
- 56:15we gotta show up for each other and for ourselves individually, right,
- 56:22Like, we really gotta show up. Yeah, Like every days when like
- 56:28a lot of people don't even know, I struggle with stuff too, like
- 56:32struggle. I still struggle with depression. I struggle with grief. I struggle
- 56:38with a lot. I have some physical issues, like every days when I
- 56:45just barely make it out of it, every days when I can't sleep,
- 56:52every days when like I really struggle, I gotta sit with a heating path.
- 56:59I gotta like people don't understand that, but this is what I go
- 57:05through. But I do it. I show up. Like the other day,
- 57:07I think Treeda had made a post and my comment was, it was
- 57:14a hard day for me. I struggle. I struggle, I had to
- 57:21cry, I had to release it. Then I took a nap, and
- 57:27then I did it again. Because guess what, I've identified that I have
- 57:31an issue. I deal with depression. That's something that I have been diagnosed
- 57:38with. Now that I know I have this issue, then now it's up
- 57:43to me to make sure that I deal with it, that I make sure
- 57:46that I won't pay so I have to find that time to self care.
- 57:52I have to find that time to sit back and when I feel like getting
- 58:00depressed, I gotta pull myself out of it. And we gotta understand.
- 58:05We got to be able to identify. That's an issue. A lot of
- 58:08us don't know how to identify things right. And you don't know how to
- 58:13identify, that's when you know it's time to get you some assistance. That's
- 58:19when therapists coming in handy. That's when they come. When they become a
- 58:23good thing. That's when the psychiatrists become your friends. Yeah, these are
- 58:29people that are not here to hurt you. They're not here to harm you,
- 58:32but they're here to give you hope in the future. Like he didn't
- 58:37give us that scripture for nothing. Jeremih twenty nine to eleven is real.
- 58:40Like it is real. And if you truly are a believer of the word,
- 58:45I don't care what your belief system is. And I go back to
- 58:52this, and I'm gonna keep going back to it because this is what was
- 58:55profound to me about faith. We'll get on these boats, we'll get on
- 59:00these ships, we'll get on these planes, we get on these bridges,
- 59:04we get in these cars were getting all this stuff. This lady said,
- 59:07do you remember when you was little, your mama put you in this baby
- 59:10carriage, and then she moved you to a high chair, and then she
- 59:17moved you over to a little chair, and then you moved to a bigger
- 59:24chair. And then when you got old enough to walk up to a chair,
- 59:28you just walked up to it and sit down. You didn't question if
- 59:30the chail was gonna hold you. You did sit down because your mama put
- 59:36you in it. Your mama kept putting you in these chairs along the way,
- 59:40and you kept trusting that your mama was putting you in the right chair,
- 59:44that your mama was doing the right thing, that this was gonna hold
- 59:46you because this is what mama did. So when you got old enough,
- 59:52because of the faith that had been instilled in you by your mama, you
- 59:58believed that this chair was gonna hold you. So now, faith, it's
- 1:00:04all about your belief system that you have been taught. It ain't about what
- 1:00:08these ben are sustaining. The poor pig and tell you, faith is you
- 1:00:14got this journey that we're on, all these experiences that we experience, this
- 1:00:19is our experience, This is our opportunity to be able to pay it forth.
- 1:00:23This is our opportunity to be able to pull the next generation and to
- 1:00:28lead the next generation. It's stuff that we got to unlearn that people have
- 1:00:31taught us that it's wrong. It's that we gotta find out for ourselves.
- 1:00:37Okay, Mary, Martha, Sarah, Joseph, all of them, Paul,
- 1:00:43Peter, all of them. Probably they Yeah, we got a blueprint
- 1:00:46of how they did things, of their experience. Guess what we're not them?
- 1:00:54No different. Not only that the Law came, you know, the
- 1:01:01New Testament came. A lot of different things have changed, a lot of
- 1:01:07different stuff have changed. So guess what our experiences are our experiences. This
- 1:01:15is our journey. This is for us to leave for the next generation.
- 1:01:19Guess what when they come along, they got the Bible, and then they
- 1:01:22got us the greater works. They got well, he said we should do
- 1:01:27greater we should do greater works. Now they got the greater works. And
- 1:01:30how do they get the greater works? They get it through us leaving these
- 1:01:32podcasts. They give it. They give us leaving these books, they give
- 1:01:38it through us leaving these magazines. Everything that we leave behind the legacy that
- 1:01:45we leave behind. But if we don't do nothing to create nothing, yess
- 1:01:50what nothing plus all? They long, nothing plus nothing equals nothing all day
- 1:01:59long. And we got to stop thinking that if we sit back and do
- 1:02:04nothing, that something is gonna happen, That something is gonna fall out the
- 1:02:07sky is not gonna happen, he said, Look to look to the hill
- 1:02:14from which my help coming. It comes from. All you got to do.
- 1:02:19If you look to the hears you looked out and you see everything out
- 1:02:22here, it belongs to your daddy. That shit. Remind you that you
- 1:02:25can have any and everything. All things are possible. But not think that
- 1:02:30something gonna fall out the sky, because ain't nothing falling out the sky.
- 1:02:35Ain't nothing falling out the sky. Ain't no white carriage coming out the sky,
- 1:02:38and no horse coming down. Ain't nothing coming to save you. If
- 1:02:43you want to be saved, guess what you gotta save yourself. Natalie was
- 1:02:49trying to say something, tray somebody. I think think it's Neatalie, Nat
- 1:03:02that you had something to saying. Now it was for I think, No,
- 1:03:13it was to be I was trying to breathe like, how you cause
- 1:03:29the founding the founding crew, you know, we are the ones that's gonna
- 1:03:34leave the foundation for whoever comes next. And that's the thing that I tell
- 1:03:38people in my and different various things that I do. When you leave a
- 1:03:45foundation, you're just not leaving any kind of foundation. You gotta make sure
- 1:03:50that it's third right, and it had if you build, you're building a
- 1:03:54building, right, you gotta have the brick the more that the semen or
- 1:03:59stuff put together, because when you build up that building, you wanted to
- 1:04:03last for years and centuries. So what we're doing here, we're building a
- 1:04:11foundation for that. Those are gonna come after us and join us, they
- 1:04:16can see that everything that we've gone through to collectively together individually on our own,
- 1:04:25this is what makes the Crew Podcast who we are, and it's what's
- 1:04:30going to be our testament for us as we stand the test of time.
- 1:04:34Nobody's gonna understand what we went through but us, or what we go through
- 1:04:40but us. But as we tell the story, as we leave the books
- 1:04:44that we write or the different things that we do, you understand why we
- 1:04:48came together at the time that we came together, Because we all are forged
- 1:04:55together by one connecting bond, which is actually we want in one connecting bonds.
- 1:05:01But our love for God, our love for what we do as writers,
- 1:05:06as people that review books, literary nine, but human beings, and
- 1:05:13we want to create a better world and we want to leave our stamp on
- 1:05:18this world. We don't want just to say we were here, and that's
- 1:05:23that we want to create. At the end of the saying, we want
- 1:05:25to be the change. We want to create the change. And if it
- 1:05:28don't start with others, it's not gonna no, it's not gonna get it.
- 1:05:32It's not going to get done in the way that we want it to.
- 1:05:35Because we see what the bigger Nobody else is going to see the the
- 1:05:41bigger picture how we see it. Until we continue to build this foundation,
- 1:05:46and as we build this foundation and next fan and go beyond just here,
- 1:05:51but we go worldwide, we're good gonna be able to leave our marks.
- 1:05:58But just yeah, very true. Amen, Amen, I definitely, I
- 1:06:13definitely agree with that. And in our standing on our motto. You know,
- 1:06:19we are to change that we desire to see in this world. You
- 1:06:24know, we have to be that change. If we won't change, we
- 1:06:28have to be that change. Mm hm. That's the plus. Nothing equals
- 1:06:31nothing. It ain't changing. It's been It's been the same since I can't
- 1:06:39remember, and it's gonna say the same. But I'm grateful that we have
- 1:06:45been given the opportunity two be be a voice, to be an outlet,
- 1:06:53two to be a place where people can come share their voice where they think
- 1:07:00they may not have a voice, and they have a voice here. They
- 1:07:03have an opportunity to share where it may be that they're going through. So
- 1:07:10again, I thank you guys for just being who you are and allowing God
- 1:07:17to use you, because I know it's lefting shy of him doing exactly what
- 1:07:24he said he would do in our lives and bringing us together. You know,
- 1:07:28I don't believe it's a coincidence, no matter how you cross my path.
- 1:07:32I tell people all the time, it's not an accident. You know.
- 1:07:35It is a divine you catching up with your destiny, me catching up
- 1:07:41with my destiny, because it's already been mapped out and we just happened to
- 1:07:45align with what it is that He had already put in place. We were
- 1:07:50just in the right place at the right time to align and to be in
- 1:07:56this space. So I'm grateful, humble, I'm thankful, I'm excited about

- 1:11:13teams together, the youth football teams together, and we would just do different
- 1:11:15stuff, or we would bring the community together, bring authors together. It
- 1:11:20was just a high time where the community, where the village came together,
- 1:11:26like it's it's time to bring that village mentality back, y'all. We've given
