  ignoring it. So come on, Tanya, come on, girl, come
• 2:28
  on and screen. Hey, hey, hey, like my sister girl.
• 2:36
  This is so exciting because you know, we when we get together, we
• 2:40
  have meetings and we actually have training classes. So this feels like we're in
• 2:47
  the training class, but we're not actually live. So I know you but
• 2:53
  let them know. You tell them a little bit about miss little John.
• 2:58
  Well, I'm Latanya little John. I reside in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
• 3:04
  I am married to my husband, Rico Little John. We've been married twenty
• 3:08
  one years. Between the two of us, we have two children, Deonte's
• 3:15
  twenty eight and Deja is twenty four, and we have a two year old
• 3:20
  granddaughter, Kaylani. I'm an author, a podcaster, and also I'm a
• 3:29
  multitude of things. Am I influencer. So yeah, that that basically covers
• 3:36
  everything. So you do this in all kinds of parts. This got all
• 3:39
  kinds of stuff going on. I do, I do? Girl, Hey
• 3:44
  make it do? What to do? So my podcast sisters podcast is called
• 3:51
  the lad but Not to Not That is just powerful deceaded by itself. So
• 3:58
  you know, you got to come off and tell us what how did this
• 4:00
  come about? It's a phone now it's full of being Okay. So,
• 4:04
  actually, Delayed but Not Denied came from my book title. Um I wrote
• 4:11
  a book called Delayed, not but Not Denied and I wrote that book,
• 4:15
  UM, basically to say that sometimes we may be delayed in in what we're
• 4:25
  trying to do, where we're trying to go, m you know, things
• 4:30
  of that nature, but God never denies us. If it's meant for us,
• 4:32
  it'll be. So that's where the title came from. And you know
• 4:39
  what, that's so true and like we always want stuff on our timing,
• 4:44
  but I really think about what God's timing is, right, I can detested
• 4:49
  that in plenty ways right now, so me too, give us a little
• 4:54
  bit. You said down this your podcast originates from the book. So,
• 5:00
  now what's the book? Okay? So I wrote this book in twenty fourteen.
• 5:09
  I didn't publish this book until twenty eighteen. Um, the book originates
• 5:15
  from a multitude of things. I was adopted, UM, I was a
• 5:23
  teenage mom. I reconnected with my biological family. Um. Again, it's
• 5:30
  a multitude of things. UM. I tried to just lay my life on
• 5:35
  the line in a book. Okay, So, I guess is it main
• 5:43
  national foster care mom? It is? So, I guess this's my needs
• 5:47
  a lot to you. UM, my foster care experience didn't last that long.
• 5:55
  I got adopted at seventeen months old. So um, my foster care
• 6:00
  experience was traumatic but short. Okay, okay, so hey, God had
• 6:08
  a destiny. He knew what he was doing, so he's like, hey,
• 6:14
  right, what made you want to write your book? To late but
• 6:18
  not to night? So I met my biological family in twenty ten. Um
• 6:28
  I prayed to God that before myself or my mom, my biological bomb would
• 6:35
  leave this earth, to just let us see each other, just even if
• 6:40
  it was only once, let us see each other. That that was my
• 6:45
  heart's desire. And so um, God allowed me to hear her voice first
• 6:51
  March third, twenty ten, and um we we met later on in the
• 6:59
  year year. So that that was a part of why I wrote the book
• 7:05
  um my experience with me and my biological family. I spoke on being a
• 7:13
  teenage mother with the disability. I was born with the disability, and that
• 7:17
  goes back to my adoption. I was adopted. My mom put me up
• 7:23
  for adoption because she herself had a disability and she was a teenager and I
• 7:30
  had one that you know, needed some extra care that she couldn't give me.
• 7:35
  So she felt like to give me the life that she felt I deserved.
• 7:41
  She wanted to put me up for adoption. Yeah, okay, so
• 7:46
  oh we have a question and said, why did you become a podcast host?
• 7:49
  Oh, that's easily because Travida did it. That's another one of our
• 7:56
  sisters. I think you meet her plan either iron. So this friend and
• 8:03
  um we have been joined at the hip for the last thirty plus years.
• 8:07
  Um. I got her to write a book, she got me to do
• 8:11
  a podcast. So it's just that's that's our relationship, like an even exchange.
• 8:18
  That's so now you know I'm about books before commercial. My question is
• 8:26
  you have to doing two books that you would recommend to readers. Two books,
• 8:33
  okay, delayed but not denied. The Story of tory Um and Brutal
• 8:41
  courage Um is an anthology that I'm a part of that means the world to
• 8:48
  me too. So those are just two. There's a lot more that I
• 8:52
  would recommend, but those are just two. So we'll come back and ask
• 8:58
  you about two more. I'll you too, going to leave by so we're
• 9:01
  gonna take commercial break real quick, and you guys, we'll be right back

  you have a question, I'm gonna go ahead and throw it out there for
• 9:48
  your girly Our question is what is your message to the world. Whoo um.
• 9:56
  My message to the world is be true to yourself, give give yourself
• 10:05
  the love that you are so freely given to other people. Love yourself,
• 10:09
  I mean love God first, but love yourself too. You know that that
• 10:16
  is very profound because even with me, I find myself giving in giving,
• 10:22
  and then I get to a point where I'm sitting in my bedroom. I'm
• 10:24
  like I'm empty, right, Like, okay, so what do we do
• 10:30
  now? So yes, we have to all have to learn how to love
• 10:33
  ourselves. Even the little thing we think of flaw maybe the most wonderful thing
• 10:37
  in God's eyes. So yes, great, love it, love it.
• 10:41
  Thank you. That was from me. You know, life is life is
• 10:46
  what you make it. I was born with a tough hand. I was
• 10:50
  born with spina bifida M hydrocephalus. I went to the hospital today because I
• 10:58
  wasn't feeling well and I found out that, Um, I have heart failure.
• 11:03
  So you know, no, no, no, it will stop you
• 11:07
  right there. They think you have heartfield, they think, no, you
• 11:11
  don't have that. You have powerful sisters behind you, and you got this.
• 11:22
  I will say this, even in everything that I go through, there's
• 11:26
  a testimony. So if God gave it to me, he's using me to
• 11:31
  help somebody else get through. So if I have it, I know that
• 11:37
  God carries me, So I'm not worried about it. I'll high high.
• 11:45
  So um, we're from we're country girls right South Carolina. We country.
• 11:52
  Y'all can't hear the GIA said? Then, so how what would you say?
• 12:00
  Is the easiest part of being a podcaster and the hardest part about being
• 12:05
  a podcaster. So we could do it, but you know, so the
• 12:11
  easiest part is signing up to do it, um, being and showing up
• 12:18
  for yourself. The hardest part is knowing that other people are watching you and
• 12:26
  you you know you you kind of get that nervousness and like, okay,
• 12:31
  can they tell if I miss up. Um. You know, if I
• 12:35
  stumble, you know, are they gonna say something? You know, things
• 12:39
  of that nature. Understand understand. So showing up. Yes, yes,
• 12:46
  that that is true. Showing up. So we are all wanting to invite
• 12:52
  individuals on our shows. So who would be your ideal guests? If if
• 13:00
  I can invite anybody in the world any well, you know what, you
• 13:03
  took that question to stepfather, You go ahead and take it. Anybody in
• 13:05
  the world. Let's give you. I'll be nice. Let's give you three
• 13:09
  people. Three people in the world. Michelle Obama? Okay, um Usher,
• 13:22
  because I love Usha. Okay um hm hell Obama. So let's bring
• 13:33
  it down from them, Michelle Obama. So the one thing that podcast is
• 13:35
  we have to be able to ask those questions. So what would you ask
• 13:39
  her? My first question would be, what is it like being in the
• 13:46
  White House as a black woman for eight years? Ooh ooh girl high Why
• 13:54
  that's a question. So now your second person was so your question for Ussher?
• 14:03
  M My question for Ussher is what what God your your longevity? He's
• 14:11
  been singing since he was nine or ten years old. He started on Star
• 14:16
  Search. So you know a lot of people don't know what star searches its
• 14:22
  Ed mc mahon YouTube. And but yeah, I would ask you know,
• 14:28
  how does he continue with his longevity with making music that people want to still
• 14:35
  hear? Okay, so you have one on person. So who would that
• 14:39
  third person be living or deceased? Does it matter? It does not matter.
• 14:50
  I would have to say, um, doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
• 14:54
  Oh, and what would be your question for him? If he I would
• 15:01
  want to know if he's disappointed with where we are as a people today.
• 15:07
  Oh oh that's oh God, that's a good question. Yeah. Questions.
• 15:16
  So you have a little bit question. Someone in the audio wants to know
• 15:20
  where do you see yourself in five years in the podcast world? Okay,
• 15:26
  because I believe in the power of the tongue, I believe that I'll be
• 15:31
  able to go into national in five years. I feel like my name will
• 15:37
  reach ears and places that my feet may never go. Ah great, great.
• 15:46
  So another thing I see. I'm looking at your bio and it says
• 15:50
  that you are a common creator. Yeah, tells a little bit about that.
• 15:56
  So I found out that Facebook, Instagram are willing to pay you for
• 16:03
  content. So I'm I'm an advocate for TikTok, and I love my TikTok
• 16:11
  videos. So I just started going on TikTok doing little random videos, um
• 16:18
  dances with my my daughter, and I just started sharing them and I get
• 16:23
  paid to do just do so okay, okay. So it was just the
• 16:33
  the the appeal of the larger audience and money to become a critical content creator.
• 16:41
  That and I like um, I like music, I like to dance,
• 16:45
  I like to um entertain if you will, okay. And I feel
• 16:55
  like there's so much negativity behind Facebook and what it is. It's the people,
• 17:03
  It's not Facebook. Facebook is just a platform, and I feel like
• 17:07
  it's time to bring fun into Facebook instead of all the negative energy that is
• 17:14
  being placed on a platform. I found my biological family on Facebook, So
• 17:18
  I can't say anything negative about Facebook. I totally understand because when we all
• 17:25
  were in the pandemic and we were sitting at home, it was while we
• 17:29
  had that's all we had, and we will be up there two o'clock in
• 17:33
  the morning just laughing at videos because we all needed that uplifting. So I've
• 17:37
  seen a couple of the videos with you and your daughter. I've seen it.
• 17:44
  I liked it the how do you become a podcaster? So I know
• 17:52
  the steps, I know what we signed up for. So how about you
• 17:56
  giving them a sneak peek so they can come and join the crew also,
• 18:00
  So excuse man, I'm I'm dealing with the coffin from all of this.
• 18:07
  But um, what I did was reach out to Miss Angela and um,
• 18:15
  I paid my ninety nine dollars a smile and she shows she shows me how
• 18:22
  to become better at this every day. Like it's it's not easy. Um,
• 18:30
  but if it's something that you really want to do, you'll step into
• 18:36
  it in a professional way and get it done. Yeah. Yeah, you're
• 18:40
  totally correct, And no, it's not easy. So we have somebody.
• 18:45
  Miss Scott wants to know who inspires you to keep going? Who inspires me?
• 18:51
  Um? Two point answered, my son and my granddaughter. They motivate
• 18:56
  me to keep going. I mean I had my son at sixteen and he's
• 19:02
  been my rock all all of his life. And so then he gave me
• 19:10
  my granddaughter almost three years ago, and um, she's just the sweetest I
• 19:18
  could eat up. But they they inspire me to want to be better,
• 19:22
  to want to live longer, to want to push on that. Yeah,
• 19:30
  that's the greatest inspirations you can ever get. All right, what is up
• 19:37
