• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and when we when January came, I just I guess
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I was kind of pushing it out and trying to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: be like, hey, both and people actually came through.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: They they showed up and showed out.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So to all my people, I say thank you, thank you,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: thank you, because you always had to have support. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I was shocked cause it was with Keisha. It was
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: going back and forth with us.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: We were like.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And every day you got the vote, and she was
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: pushing both of you guys just to let everybody know
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: that you guys were in the running. And there was like, okay,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: who's gonna win. Who's gonna win? Because then it was
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a group of you guys, and it came down smaller
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and it came down smaller, and then it was just
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: two of you guys. And I was like, I don't
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: know who gonna win this. I ain't even booked because
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know who gonna win this, So.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like two three votes apart.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: And then I think the last night, which was the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: last day of February, I was like, oh man, I said,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to sleep and I guess I'll see.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And then Angela took like two days to announce it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: You know, we gotta have you on your p's and
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Q the drum roll. But no, when you found out,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: what was the first thing that came to your mind.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: I was like, hallelujah.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I said, yes, I can speak poetry, talk to the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: poetry community, because that's what it's about, because I love
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the poetry. I mean, it's just to be a voice
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: for someone that's you know, for poets, for the.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Aspiring authors, that's great.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And then having the ability to write what I feel
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: too in the magazine and highlight other poets, you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that's awesome. Because the poet Tree community is a tight
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: knit community. It's a lot of voices with different angles
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and aspects, and I think everybody.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Deserves that chance to have a voice heard.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, And it's I don't know why people do not
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: give poetry read the respect that it deserves. You know, yes,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: we have National Poetry money, but you always hear by
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: the Edgar Allan Poe and and I'm gonna tell you
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: in truth in the library, we really don't hear much
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: of African American poets. It's one in my head and
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I can't even remember. Oh yeah, Nikki Giovanni, of course,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: but there are so many other poets out there. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I understand we gave it a month, but let's do
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: it correctly. Let's show people the power of poetry.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: So right, I think dark, no, go ahead.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I think sometimes it doesn't get the recognition because I
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: hope I don't offend people. Sometimes people don't want to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: listen and think and dig deeper into what's being said.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They don't want to analyze. I feel like everything so
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: like a microwave generation. If it's just not there telling
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you that this is red, blue and black. They don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: want to listen to get more out of it, you know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Right, It's to the point where I think they're scared
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: to dive deeper.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: The one young lady said that reading poetry to her
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: is digging up bones, and I'm like, what do you
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: mean bon She said, it brings up emotions that I
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: don't want to deal with. I was like, ohh, I
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: never thought of it that way, you know, so let's
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: start all over. What brought you to the world of poetry?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, the world the poetry is your lady said so eloquently,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: was digging up bones and started its therapy for me.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I did not consider myself a poet. I just know
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I could write poems and I would keep them for myself.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: So my first book, it was a culmination of thirteen
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: years of poetry, The Phoenix Heart, because the book shows
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: my evolution of the heart from being broken, betrayed LUs
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: finding new love and healing. And I kept all of
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: those poems and never shared them up with anybody.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: And when I did share with my cousin, she was like, girl,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: you need to publish a book. And I'm like, nobody
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: wants to hear you. Hear this. This is my personal
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: It is just personal poems that I've written to myself
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to get my feelings out on paper. But I was wrong,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and thank goodness that I could I actually help people.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Some people come up and tell me that, oh I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: can relate to such and such poem or like beauty,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And then the second thoughts is a real big another
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: poem that a lot of women relate to.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: And what's the other one? Why it's my poem Jesus.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Christ is talking about why talking about healing of a man?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I had to look it up the name of it,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: because why do I love him so much?
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I have a lot of women like that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So when you write your poetry, is it just
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: geared toward women? Or is men reading it? Also?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: No? I have men reading that.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: A lot of the men identify with the It's one
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: poem called that. It's about dating, and a lot of
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: men like that that poem, Like I said, Jesus Christ,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: now I have stopped running. And then actually it was
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: called the Date. Men do like the poems in my
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: second book.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: A lot of them like. They like the Journey, they
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: like devil reflection.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So I write, I write towards everybody, because if you're in.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: A relationship, had been in love, yeah, it's for you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I mean I can only write from a female's point
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: of view, but you can you can use that for
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: male or for from a female perspective, because love is love, right,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: surely is.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Love is love?
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Might see you two different ways, but I think that
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: would be cool. So I see you got your book
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: in front of you. I can't remember the poet that
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: me that you wrote and I read it and I said,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: what the devil? I cannot remember. We talked about it
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the first time I had you on the show, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it was it's in Phoenix Rising.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Mm hmmm.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I can't remember what it is a matter that.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But you did.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I did a.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you had me going with that book there.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I remember that Phoenix Rising because the cover was y'all,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the cover was the most beautiful cover there. It is
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I have ever seen, like y'all in these book covers
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: is getting me. Like how we started talking today at work.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: We're calling it the tables the tabletop books, yea, the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: coffee table, right, these are the books that you on
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: your coffee table. So when people come over they want
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to know what is this. So I've got two books
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I got to get now. That are my two coffee
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: table books, y'all.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I'll have that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Author on in June representing for the fellas, because y'all
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: know June is all about the men. But we're coming back.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: To the poetry. Okay, yes, June on sc book.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Gausen Friend is gonna be all about the Fellas. Last
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: month we did the ladies, So this in June, we're
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: gonna do the Fellas, and in May for Mother's Day,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do the ladies again. I really want to
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: dedicate a show to our men. I got that tyrant
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: leader because I really don't. I really feel that we
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: and me personally, and I am going to be the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: first one to vouch that we don't pay enough attention
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: to our men, African American men. And in June we're
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: gonna do that. I'm gonna give y'all y'all crowns because
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: y'all deserve it. But we're gonna finish talking this lady
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: who was now wearing the crown. So you said that
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: you started writing for your healing. Do you feel like
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the healing came during the process of writing or like
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: another author I had, they said that healing actually came
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: after they published a book because they felt vindicated or
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: they felt finally heard. When did your healing happen?
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: That happened during the during the during the course of.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Putting all the poems together and really reading it and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: putting a book together, and when I put it out,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I guess I mean, I was healed when I put
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: it out because I had to. I wouldn't have been
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: able to share myself with the world if I wasn't here,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: because you know, when you share your poetry, you're sharing yourself,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: so you have to be ready for criticism and whatever
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: people may have to say or come at you and
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: ask you questions why.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: And so at that point I was ready.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I was ready to share and you that I was
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: healed and I could talk about it because without animosity,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well I can. I can see that, I
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: can see where that healing has to be before you
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: actually published the book, because I've seen some people butcher authors,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: which I really don't think it's right, y'all. It's their work,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: it's their baby, So why would you do that? Speaking
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: of having people talk about your work, what type of
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: feedback have you received, Like what are your fans saying?
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: What are people like, hey when you're coming out on
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the next one, or hey, what is this? Or I
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: can relate to that. What kind of feedback are you
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: getting from your readers.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I get very positive feedback on my poetry, and like
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: when I do open mics and stuff, I get a
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: lot of questions like what you said, they're they're they're
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: waiting for my third book.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: But I have jumped into.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: The book writing author author world and wrote a romance
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: romance mystery book. So right now I'm trying to juggle
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to continue the Phoenix series. I'm starting my poetry book,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: The Kaleidoscope, because you know, they asked, hey, when stuff
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: coming out, But any when you're a creative, you have
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the times when your light just turns on. So like
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, I've just been writing poetry,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: writing poetry and just I just couldn't stop writing it now.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: And so now I'm like, Okay, it's getting closer for
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Kaleidoscope to come out, and and I'm almost do it
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: with Blueprint, which would be my second novel, my sophomore

• 16:14
  Speaker 2: The ending. They didn't expect any of that. They said
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I had to get twisted and turned. So I was like, oh, okay,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I'm all right on that. Then I can do my
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: poetry and in the novel of course I'm a poet,
• 16:28

• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Which one do you like creating more? The actual characters

• 17:02
  Speaker 4: to choose between my.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Kids because you know what our parents I'm bringing in.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I noticed that we're not supposed to have that favorite child,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: But you know what we do. We just love them differently.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Which one of you loving more?

• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Well, honestly, I have to say poetry because you can.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I can create poetry. I can share it. It doesn't
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: take as long as.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Writing the novel, because you know, I thought the editing
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: process was teedis with my little poetry books, right, Oh

• 18:34
  Speaker 4: It comes to writing.

  Speaker 4: it's dark. It has a.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Dark cross lover in it, little try love triangle in
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: a small town. And once I had to talk to
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the editors and people about how to classify it, and
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: that's what they told me. It's it's a cozy it's
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a cozy mall town, cozy romance, mystery.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: So it's all of mine.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: And that's one of the things that I learned since
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: publishing a novel is how to classify because you can
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: just say it's romance, and what kind of romance is
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: it that the contemporary?
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Is it multi culture?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Is it a woman's you know, woman's romance, you know mystery.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: It's like L thirteen fourteen categories just for romance and subcategories.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: So yeah, a great point with that. I really do
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: wish that African American authors would look more into classification
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: of their books. I think if you classify your books
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: a little better than you do now, they would get
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: a wider audience. You just can't stay street lit. Street
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: lit what I mean, it's not really even a street
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: lit call anymore. It's it's urban greaty. Yeah, it's it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: so many under that one umbrella. To when I went
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: to a conference, they had a whole session and the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: title the session is my book is not African American.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Stop saying African American as a genre, and that happened.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I still find myself doing it, but it makes so
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: much sense.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: But you're correct. It helps with the cell zone. Just
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: like before I put out my poetry book, I had
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: to know what genre it was, and so it sounds corny, like, yeah,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I love poetry, but when it's classified, then it's love poetry,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: African American poetry, general of poetry, because that probably goes
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: out to reach the audience and the people that you sell.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: So like with my novel with it being cozy, my
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: editor was like, cozy, do you know what cozy means?
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, not really, I just don't have a romance.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: She was like, your characters have to have a life,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: but it has to be elastic enough, flexible enough to
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: where they're running around having their romance involved in a
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: murder mystery, but yet they're still working and eating and living.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: So your book falls into cozy.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: And it's a small town cozy because if you're setting
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: is Lake shore View, Texas just cove and you have
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: your different scene. And so I think, as African Americans,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: but we shouldn't classify what you just said.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: You need to more black authors.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You should look at different categories because you can open
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: yourself up to different readers because other people want to
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: know our experience too and read our books too. Is
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: just classifying them so they get out there to the platforms.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: So you said it so so perfectly, so perfectly you
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: said that. So I hope y'all takeing hints from her,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: because I mean, she won the award for reasons, so
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: she's dropping knowledge. I mean, come on, eat it up. Okay,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: So we're going backtrack, as you know, it's spent time question.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: So remember we talked about you writing a novel and
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: from the woman's standpoint, mm hmmm. So here's the fun question.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: If you can co author a book with any male
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: and have a male and female poetry book, who would
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: it be and what will the book be about?
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: You say, any.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Mail, any mail, author, artist, TV personality, news anchor.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Any mail.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Who would it be?
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: I was.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say Denzel because I was on
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: another podcast and they were like, oh, yeah, of course.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: You're gonna say Denzel. Come, he's your age, but Denzel.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: But okay, so we got Denzel again. What would the
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: title of the book be? And why?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Uh? It would be called Pelican Bay?
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: So is that baby a why or babe.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: A culture? Okay?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Training Day is one of my favorite movies and I
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: hate the fact that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't say, hey, let me take that back.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: He won his Oscar off of being a villain, and
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: he is the first thing from what I see off
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: screen as a villain.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: But it's an iconic growing so a role.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: So I would name it Pelican Bay because he was like,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you think you can do this to me? So we
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: would have poetry based on what do you think you
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: could you to me?
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Or what could I do to you? You know what
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. In Life Sports.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Love, you said I'm sorry, we're erotic writers.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: And when you said what can I do to you?
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: What can you do?
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: My head just went straight there, like, hey, you.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Know, oh my god, oh my god, and you talk
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: about erotic.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Now I might go find the things. So that was
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: one of the hardest things in my romance looks because
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like Jesus Christ, my mom, my grandmother who's ninety
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: six has my book and everybody.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: I was like, I can't write like said the mut scene.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: So I had to try to keep my my love
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: my love.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Scenes classy and leave it to imagination.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: If I write in erotic, it's gonna be in a
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: pen name, it's gonna be can By just play.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: But I understand that I do understand that there are
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: authors who do I know one of them who actually
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: wrote an erotic book, and she wrote she wrote a
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: poetry erotic and I will say home style erotic, but
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: they were the same book that all she did was
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: changed when I'm to a penny and expound on the other.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: And I.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Like, where do you do that at? Like that is genius.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: But what she did, well, she got a whole group
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: of people and they didn't realize that they were writing
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: the same book, but just one she expounded on and
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: the other one she kept it clean or clean kay.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: She she was entertaining the Angel and the Devil and
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: they didn't know it. I said, you crazy, But when
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I read it, it was like the poetry titles, it's
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: the same, not I mean, the point titles in the
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: book are the same, but they just expound on.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: It was crazy, but it was an explicit version and
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: one wasn't.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, So it was like the CDs we had back
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: in the day when you had to put that little
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: with X on. Yeah, right, right, So we had Denzel Washington.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: So now you and Denzel y'all just wrote this book, okay.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: And audio book is now becoming very popular in the
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: African American community.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: So who gonna narrate it? Then? Yeah, you want Denzel
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: and Nared. Okay, we could do Denzel narrating. Narrating, but
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: then we're gonna have to have some music in the background.
• 30:03
