  Speaker 2: And I got up for some reason and I wrote
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: them and that was my first poem. And then it
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: was like whatever I was going through because I was
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: in the midst of my healing. I was about four
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: years into recovery at that time, and whatever I was
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: going through or whatever I was healing from, was that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: if God just kept giving me poetry, and so I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: actually healed through my poetry. I didn't think that it
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: was good at first. I thought it was just my words,

  Speaker 1: got yours.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Can You See Me? As a it's a poem of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: like about someone sitting there. You know how sometimes people
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: are in relationships and and they are going through so
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: much and it's like the person that they're with or
• 11:40

• 11:54
  Speaker 1: situations like that right now, whereas you and there we go.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: We talked about early that genuine smile, So they have
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that smile, but they're begging for someone to just tug
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: at them a little bit more. So I understand that,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: truly understand that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. When I wrote this poem, it was because so
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: many people always see me laughing and smiling, and it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: like you're sitting right next to me and you don't
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: even know I'm crying. You know, sometimes people are crying
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: on the inside and sometimes I will still be laughing.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I could be in a club, but I can be
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: so broken on the inside and nobody know.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, you've done that, wrote the book next to you,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: checking that coin, making sure that I read it. So

  Speaker 1: would be that ideal reader?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Anybody and everybody. That's the beautiful thing about my books.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: It deals with everything I've written about, everything from self
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: esteem and soul because I wanted to reach everybody and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: if you just give it to anybody, but mostly someone
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: who just don't think they can, because I need for
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: you to know that you can. If he did it
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: for me, and trust me, he got you. And and
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I need you to know that you are a queen.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter what you've been through, what you
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: went through, what you're going through, you got this. Even
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: if it's not today, it's just tomorrow, you still got this.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: It's one step at a time, one journey at a time,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: one healing at a time. I'm eleven years in and
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I'm still healing, I'm still learning, I'm still growing.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Well I have somebody who says that
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: that's my sister. I am so proud of you, Miss
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Lynn Guiltful's.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: And we had I think the reason I'm in book
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: she did. She did a book where I think she
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: might be in footprints, one that she did, and she
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: was like, you should do it, you should do it,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you should do it. And I finally did. I caught.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I caught Miss Angela at the last moment, like I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and and she allowed me to come. And Slynn Kilfert
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: is the reason that I'm in this book.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: And somebody else says, that's my daughter's grandmother right there.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You know you got to shout out that grand baby.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is definitely my Lena. Oh Gord, shout out
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to all my grandchildren and children.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Well, hi, all the grandkids, how y'all doing?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: And my children, I got six of them.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And six of the kids who helped created the grand kids,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: the whole family. Yet wonderful metriarch right here. So what
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: advice would you give somebody about working on their first book?
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Believe in yourself? Oh it took me this long to
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: write my book because I didn't believe in my work.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Believe in yourself. Have faith in what you write, because
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: whatever you write is correct because you wrote it. Nobody
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: can't tell you how you feel, how you felt, what
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: you should write, And so whether you think it's good
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: or not, somebody else will. And a lot of times
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: we don't see our own potential and everybody else do.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: So just take a leave of faith.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And see, I'm gonna to stop walking down on the street. Now,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: stop walking down the street. Somebody said, come on on
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that part, you walking down the street going off my corner.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Now, No, it's true. I would have been had a book.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: If I had to just believed in myself, I probably
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: would be so far in at this mouth. I wouldn't.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Oh no, if I go to open mics, what if
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: they say, oh, my work is too much about God?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: What if they just say I'm just talking them out
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: here there? And all the while, everything that I was
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: writing about was something somebody needed to hear, even if
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: they didn't want to hear it. For one thing, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: it was good, and I just didn't even understand how
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: good it was. I had to, you know, push through
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: my own insecurities. But once I got there. Something the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: other day I was sitting here just reading over them,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, oh, this is good. That's good.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Well, someone says, saying it one more time for them
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in the back end, besides you, hey, hold up beside me.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I think you're talking about me. And so what was
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the hardest part about writing this?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: The hardest part about writing for me is that I'm
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: writing and healing. And so if I'm writing a poem,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: that means I'm going through something. And so it's always
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a journey. But the beautiful thing about each one of them,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: it always most of them ends with what God did
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and how He will bring you through. So, like I said,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I have poems about rape, low self esteem, domestic violence, addiction,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: being a crackhead, being a whole, being a bad mother.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And as I was writing, I had to deal with
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: those issues. I had to deal with who I was,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: what I had been through, and how I came through
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and thank God, I came through. And that's the best part.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: So that in my poetry, it was hard, but it
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: was beautiful.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: So it's so healing if you allow yourself to be free.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: That is so true.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am. So that's funny. One of my poems is
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: called just let Us Be Free.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, So let me tell you what happens on
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: sc book, Guds and friends. The last ten minutes, we
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: like to have some fun. Nobody said, yes, you are
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: teaching tonight, Queen, she is teaching. She just dropping all
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: kind of nuggets. So the last ten minutes, we like
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to have some fun. And me, I just love to.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: So if you can have someone to play you and
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: your bio pic that's going to be based on your
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: book and she let's just say, we want to do
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: gospel artists. I haven't done a gospel artist in the time.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Which gospel artists would it be?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Oh that's kind of hard because they have to look
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: like me. That's a hard look.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Mary J.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Blige would probably have it down back.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we're gonna R and B. So you think
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Mary J. Blige, you know who I got? I got
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Shirley Murdock.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
