Speaker 2: and you're listening to Basic Black Afterdog podcast and show
2:56
Speaker 2: and meet you where you are and give you what
2:58
Speaker 2: you ask for now tonight guests. Unfortunately, she's unable to
3:02
Speaker 2: make it, so this is going to be one of
3:04
Speaker 2: those impromptu shows. So we're gonna be talking, but I'm
3:07
Speaker 2: hoping that it makes sense with what we're discussing. It's
3:11
Speaker 2: been a long year, very long year, and surprised is
3:17
Speaker 2: some of the things that has come about this year.
3:22
Speaker 2: For one, I am very happy and pleased with finally
3:27
Speaker 2: finishing a book that I have written and it's been
3:31
Speaker 2: five years in the making. I have talked to friends
3:35
Speaker 2: and family about it, but I never released the title
3:38
Speaker 2: of the book because it was something that I just
3:41
Speaker 2: wanted to keep it under wraps for a little bit.
3:44
Speaker 2: But you guys, I'm gonna ask you a question. You
3:48
Speaker 2: have friends or people you know, and sometimes they stretch
3:52
Speaker 2: the truth a little bit. Some people may say they fibbing,
3:56
Speaker 2: some people say may say they're not telling the truth,
4:00
Speaker 2: when some people may just come straight out and just
4:01
Speaker 2: say that they're just downright liars. Thank you, Shenette, I
4:04
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Well, that is the title of my new book,
4:09
Speaker 2: The Habitual Liar. I'm not going to give you too
4:12
Speaker 2: much about it, but what I am going to do
4:14
Speaker 2: is I'm going to share the screen with you so
4:18
Speaker 2: you can see the cover of the book and what's
4:22
Speaker 2: going on with me and what's coming up. So let
4:27
Speaker 2: me just try to get this up on the screen.
4:35
Speaker 2: There we go. So we're having a book launch. It's
4:38
Speaker 2: going to be November sixteenth. It's at four pm and
4:41
Speaker 2: we're going to be at the Noble Banquet Hall in
4:44
Speaker 2: Maryland and that's at fifteen forty six Country Region Lane
4:48
Speaker 2: in Essex. So I'm going to do a reading and
4:52
Speaker 2: hopefully that you do come out and support the book
4:55
Speaker 2: and learn a little bit about my character. Now, one
4:59
Speaker 2: thing I do you say When some people ask me
5:01
Speaker 2: about the book, I usually tell them that you have
5:04
Speaker 2: to be at least twenty one years of age to
5:06
Speaker 2: read it. At least I would hope you are. I
5:08
Speaker 2: would hope that somebody that's sixteen years old wouldn't pick
5:11
Speaker 2: up the book because there's some things in it that
5:14
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that I wrote about. That book took me
5:18
Speaker 2: to another place. When I say it took me to
5:21
Speaker 2: another place, I actually had no joke had and still
5:26
Speaker 2: am seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist because of this book.
5:31
Speaker 2: It has gone so deep that I had to get
5:35
Speaker 2: into this character up to a point just to make
5:39
Speaker 2: it real, just to feel what this type of person
5:46
Speaker 2: would feel, without taking myself away from who I really am.
5:55
Speaker 2: So when I say it has a lot of twisting
5:57
Speaker 2: turns in it, and yes, the book is called The
5:59
Speaker 2: Habitual Liar, but there's more to this character than this
6:05
Speaker 2: character to being the Habitual Liar, I'm truly hoping that
6:10
Speaker 2: you all enjoy this book. It has been, like I said,
6:13
Speaker 2: it's been wanting to making. The book will drop on
6:16
Speaker 2: October to nineteenth, and that was on purpose because October
6:21
Speaker 2: the nineteenth is actually my birthday. So I decided I
6:24
Speaker 2: wanted to give myself that gift by having this book
6:28
Speaker 2: drop on the nineteenth. So that's very special for me,
6:33
Speaker 2: and it's a special number birthday for me. So I
6:35
Speaker 2: won't get into that, but you know what, I am
6:39
Speaker 2: going to get into that because if my mother can
6:41
Speaker 2: tell everybody that she's going to be one hundred next year,
6:44
Speaker 2: and I can most certainly tell everybody I want to
6:46
Speaker 2: be sixty this year, and there's nothing wrong with turning sixty.
6:50
Speaker 2: I am very proud and very happy that I was
6:52
Speaker 2: able to go around this orbit. Let me say twenty
6:58
Speaker 2: times three. I'll say it that way. So I do
7:02
Speaker 2: appreciate everybody who has followed me, individuals who I have
7:07
Speaker 2: gotten to know on this podcast and on this platform
7:12
Speaker 2: of Basic Black After Dark. I do want to thank
7:15
Speaker 2: my sisters, and I hope I don't forget anybody's name, Schenette, Alma, Trevida.
7:25
Speaker 2: Let me see who I forgetting Simone, uh Latanya. Now
7:32
Speaker 2: I know I'm going to mess up this other name,
7:34
Speaker 2: but I'll say doctor C and there was others that
7:38
Speaker 2: it came in season one as well, and I want
7:40
Speaker 2: to thank them all for being supportive. I know some
7:44
Speaker 2: times I may have not been myself, but I'm not
7:48
Speaker 2: gonna say I was the character. I'm just gonna say
7:50
Speaker 2: it was. It was a journey just getting this book
7:52
Speaker 2: and writing it and making sure all the pieces were
7:56
Speaker 2: in place so that I can deliver it to you
7:59
Speaker 2: in a respectful way. There's gonna be a lot of
8:04
Speaker 2: questions about it. I did have somebody who did read
8:08
Speaker 2: some of the chapters and they were shocked. Now, I'm
8:11
Speaker 2: not a person that once I write a book, I
8:14
Speaker 2: don't really read it. After it I write it, I
8:17
Speaker 2: go through with I haven't edited, and I sent it
8:22
Speaker 2: out and it's just it just becomes published. I don't
8:25
Speaker 2: read what I have written. Now this one, I do
8:28
Speaker 2: know a lot about it of what's going on. I mean,
8:30
Speaker 2: that's the same as my first book, my memoir in
8:33
Speaker 2: my Mother's House. I haven't read that book. I feel
8:38
Speaker 2: as though I didn't have to read that particular book
8:40
Speaker 2: because I lived the life and there was some things
8:42
Speaker 2: that you just won't forget, something that you wish you
8:48
Speaker 2: could forget in that book. But like I said, I
8:51
Speaker 2: don't go back and read any of my books. I
8:56
Speaker 2: don't go back and normally recap my shows and look
9:00
Speaker 2: at them. Some people say you should so you could
9:02
Speaker 2: see where you can improve, And I'm not saying that
9:04
Speaker 2: I can't improve. Believe me, I can, but I just don't.
9:07
Speaker 2: I'm not the person that likes to go backwards. I
9:10
Speaker 2: just like to keep pushing and going forward. I do
9:13
Speaker 2: watch other people's shows if I do miss it, and
9:15
Speaker 2: I do read other people's books because I do find
9:18
Speaker 2: them interesting. Not to say I don't find my own
9:20
Speaker 2: book interesting, but I wrote it so I don't want
9:22
Speaker 2: to read it again. I've lived a life. I don't
9:25
Speaker 2: want to live it again. My children's books, the series
9:30
Speaker 2: on Stacey f A's a children's book on forster K
9:34
Speaker 2: and adoption, and we're going to be coming up next
9:36
Speaker 2: month with National Adoption Month, and we have a special
9:40
Speaker 2: guest who's coming from India who I'll be interviewing, and
9:43
Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about adoption for that month
9:47
Speaker 2: and how things are different in India and how they're
9:50
Speaker 2: different here, and what they've asked me to do is
9:54
Speaker 2: to give them some insight into Forster k and adoption.
9:57
Speaker 2: I guess because I've been a Forster mother for so
9:59
Speaker 2: much years and it's been in this feel for with
10:05
Speaker 2: parenting as well as working with children and families for
10:08
Speaker 2: over forty years. So that's gonna be my guest for
10:11
Speaker 2: next month. So, like I said, this month, it's this year.
10:15
Speaker 2: Has been a wonderful year for me. This up and
10:20
Speaker 2: it has its down, but at the same time, it
10:23
Speaker 2: was a learning opportunity for me. I was able to
10:26
Speaker 2: grow a lot. Just within the last month. I had
10:31
Speaker 2: mentioned to some people that those who have gotten know
10:36
Speaker 2: me since I moved to the state, they may have
10:38
Speaker 2: seen somebody that always look like they're angry or upset
10:43
Speaker 2: that they just wanted to just be upset with people.
10:47
Speaker 2: But that's not who I am. That's not who I
10:49
Speaker 2: wasn't before I moved. And I'm not blaming it on
10:52
Speaker 2: the state that I'm in. It's just that I've been
10:54
Speaker 2: through some things and I probably took it out on
10:58
Speaker 2: some people that I should not have been taking it
11:00
Speaker 2: out on it. But I was riding one day in
11:03
Speaker 2: my car and I was listening to a program and
11:07
Speaker 2: it was talking about anger, and I don't know what
11:11
Speaker 2: it was that came over me, but I was able
11:13
Speaker 2: to accidentally put my hand on my doorsell and my
11:17
Speaker 2: window opened up, and I just felt anger going right
11:20
Speaker 2: out that window, and it was a wonderful feeling, and
11:24
Speaker 2: it was a feeling that I haven't had in decades.
11:28
Speaker 2: I got rid of my best friend, and my best
11:33
Speaker 2: friend at the time was anger. And I was so
11:36
Speaker 2: comfortable with anger that I didn't let it go. I
11:40
Speaker 2: hung onto it because it understood me. I understood it.
11:46
Speaker 2: It was always there whenever I needed it. It never
11:49
Speaker 2: left me. It always stood by my side. That was anger,
11:55
Speaker 2: and I didn't look at it that way. I just
11:57
Speaker 2: looked at it as my best friend. But to open
12:01
Speaker 2: up that window and to let it go out, it
12:06
Speaker 2: was like a transition for me, and I wind up
12:10
Speaker 2: with a new best friend. Once I closed that window.
12:13
Speaker 2: I don't even know why I closed it, but it
12:15
Speaker 2: just I had my hand back on it and it
12:17
Speaker 2: just went up, and another other feeling came over me,
12:22
Speaker 2: and I was given a new best friend. And my
12:27
Speaker 2: new best friend is aha aha. Because I was able
12:32
Speaker 2: to acknowledge that I carried a lot of anger around
12:35
Speaker 2: with me and for others that they may say for
12:37
Speaker 2: no apparent reason. I don't want to go back into
12:40
Speaker 2: the history of the book you see behind me in
12:43
Speaker 2: my mother's house, or any of my journeys, and how
12:47
Speaker 2: I say, I jokingly say, how I landed in this
12:50
Speaker 2: state too many It's a beautiful state. It's not a
12:55
Speaker 2: place that I had planned on moving, but it's a
12:57
Speaker 2: place that I feel as though I had no other
12:59
Speaker 2: choice but to move here. And I acknowledge so much
13:05
Speaker 2: within that moment, once I closed the window, that it
13:10
Speaker 2: was just a feeling that I just I can't explain it.
13:15
Speaker 2: I honestly can't explain it. The age in AHA is humility.
13:22
Speaker 2: Is what I think maybe quickly came over to over me,
13:25
Speaker 2: the humility of the whole thing, knowing that I had
13:31
Speaker 2: that best friend and would always tell children, don't be
13:34
Speaker 2: so angry, or say to other people, why so angry,
13:37
Speaker 2: not realizing myself that I have walked around for all
13:41
Speaker 2: these years, and I can honestly say, for the last
13:45
Speaker 2: forty years I have walked around with that and that
13:48
Speaker 2: goes to tell you how long that friend has been
13:50
Speaker 2: with me. But then when I say the other a
13:54
Speaker 2: in AHA that stands for apologizing apology, apology to myself,
14:03
Speaker 2: apologizing to myself for allowing myself to carry that anger
14:09
Speaker 2: with me for so many years, and along the way
14:12
Speaker 2: may have been hurting people, hurting their feelings. And I
14:15
Speaker 2: do remember times when I felt as though people hurt
14:21
Speaker 2: me and I hurt back, and I said I did
14:26
Speaker 2: it intentionally. I would say something like, if you do
14:31
Speaker 2: this to me, I'm going to hurt your feelings, then
14:32
Speaker 2: I'm going to mean it and I'm not going to
14:35
Speaker 2: apologize for it. But that was the anger part of me.
14:43
Speaker 2: I'm not going to see that and say it. But
14:44
Speaker 2: if there's anybody out there that I heard, I apologized,
14:47
Speaker 2: Because it could be so many and it may not
14:49
Speaker 2: be as many as I thought. I'm not going to
14:52
Speaker 2: sit here and say, oh, I'm going to turn over
14:54
Speaker 2: a new leaf. Every day is just going to be
14:56
Speaker 2: a different day for me, and then it is going
14:59
Speaker 2: to be a struggle, because when you've had something with
15:02
Speaker 2: you for such a long time, it's kind of hard
15:08
Speaker 2: to change. It's hard to move on. But I'm trying
15:15
Speaker 2: every day. I know that some things are going to
15:18
Speaker 2: push my buttons and I'm going to try to have
15:22
Speaker 2: the aha moment when it does happen. But I think
15:27
Speaker 2: writing this book, The Habitual Liar, it wasn't about any
15:35
Speaker 2: particular person. There are people who, once they got a
15:39
Speaker 2: wind of the book, and that happens when a lot
15:43
Speaker 2: of my books, they think it's about them. Most of
15:47
Speaker 2: my books are personal, and I can say that this
15:51
Speaker 2: book The Habitual Liar is personal, but it's not personal.
15:54
Speaker 2: And I hope you understand what I mean when I
15:56
Speaker 2: say it's personal, but it's not personal. It's personal because
16:02
Speaker 2: of what is written and the meaning behind it. It's
16:07
Speaker 2: not personal because it's not about a particular person. Although
16:13
Speaker 2: some who read it may think it's about them, but
16:17
Speaker 2: once you get into the book, you'll you'll if it's
16:22
Speaker 2: those who are thinking that it's about them, you'll see
16:24
Speaker 2: that it really isn't about you. And I'm not trying
16:27
Speaker 2: to be snarky about it by saying, oh, it's just
16:29
Speaker 2: not about you. I'm being honest. It is not about
16:33
Speaker 2: one particular person. Once I get that one on one
16:40
Speaker 2: and it's asked or it gets to that level, i'll
16:43
Speaker 2: explain more of why I wrote the book. But you
16:50
Speaker 2: have to finish the book to figure out this character.
16:55
Speaker 2: You may take some guessing along the way about this character,
17:00
Speaker 2: about why this character did this or did that? Who
17:04
Speaker 2: was going to be the next person where they're going
17:07
Speaker 2: to be, What is happening with this person? Why did
17:10
Speaker 2: I choose this person? I think once you finish the book,
17:14
Speaker 2: you'll understand more so why this person even existed in
17:21
Speaker 2: this book. Again, it's not a real person. And I
17:29
Speaker 2: can use a part of the AHA apologizing to anyone
17:33
Speaker 2: whose feelings may be hurt with this book, because they
17:37
Speaker 2: may say that this character is a little bit of them.
17:45
Speaker 2: If it is. It wasn't my intention to make it
17:49
Speaker 2: about anybody, because that's not what I did. A person maybe,
17:55
Speaker 2: and I don't want to say in their feelings, they
17:56
Speaker 2: may start to identify with this character. I'll say it
18:00
Speaker 2: that way. You may start to identify with this character
18:06
Speaker 2: of people you may know. I know, we all know
18:10
Speaker 2: somebody who lies a lot more than usual, I'll say,
18:17
Speaker 2: And that's one of the reasons why I named it
18:20
Speaker 2: The Habitual Liar. But there's a twist to it, and
18:23
Speaker 2: that's one thing that I'll give you. It's a twist
18:27
Speaker 2: to this book. Read some of the blogs that I
18:30
Speaker 2: have going out because I try to send one out.
18:33
Speaker 2: Maybe once a week. It'll give you some insight into
18:37
Speaker 2: this book. Am I ashamed of the language that I
18:43
Speaker 2: used in this book in the beginning, I really really was.
18:48
Speaker 2: I was ashamed of the language that I used in
18:52
Speaker 2: this book because that's not the way that I speak.
18:55
Speaker 2: I had to have my oneness with God to be
19:01
Speaker 2: able to say this is where I wanted to go
19:05
Speaker 2: with this book. Now I do have someone that it
19:08
Speaker 2: is going to come on right now. We're going to
19:10
Speaker 2: talk about some things, and we're also going to go
19:14
Speaker 2: back to the book later. And if anybody have any
19:16
Speaker 2: questions about the book, if you're watching, I'll try to
19:19
Speaker 2: answer them as much as I can without giving too
19:23
Speaker 2: much away. But again, I thank everybody for going on
19:28
Speaker 2: this journey with me and having patience with me, so
19:31
Speaker 2: we can bring up my guests and we'll take it
19:36
Speaker 2: from there. I'm the coal Now. Nicole has been with
19:43
Speaker 2: me a couple of times, so I don't even want
19:46
Speaker 2: to say she's a destin anymore. I want to say
19:48
Speaker 2: she's like family. Now she's been with me. We did
19:51
Speaker 2: a mini series on several of her books, and then
19:57
Speaker 2: she came back again to talk about about other things.
20:02
Speaker 2: So she's here tonight as a friend, as a family member,
20:07
Speaker 2: as someone who I feel as though I was able
20:10
Speaker 2: to call and ask them any event, my guess is
20:13
Speaker 2: not able to show the one that was planned, would
20:17
Speaker 2: you come on? And she was calling it a night,
20:21
Speaker 2: she honestly was, But she did this one for me
20:25
Speaker 2: and she was able to come on. But I think
20:27
Speaker 2: where she's at she's probably having some connection problems. But
20:32
Speaker 2: we spoke earlier, and we speak from time to time
20:36
Speaker 2: when she's not too busy. She's an author of many,
20:39
Speaker 2: many books, and she can talk about some of them.
20:42
Speaker 2: But the last thing that we spoke about was her
20:46
Speaker 2: being surprised, and I don't think it was a pleasant
20:49
Speaker 2: surprise on her behalf that her book was at a
20:54
Speaker 2: festival without her knowledge or her permission to have her
21:00
Speaker 2: book at that festival. So I know she would like
21:06
Speaker 2: to talk about how she's feeling about having someone put
21:10
Speaker 2: her book in a place that she didn't give authorization
21:13
Speaker 2: for And as an author, and for you who are
21:17
Speaker 2: starting to write and those who you have already been writing,
21:21
Speaker 2: be mindful when you publish your books. I'm not an
21:25
Speaker 2: expert on it. I just try to be as careful
21:29
Speaker 2: as I can. I try to monitor my books. You
21:32
Speaker 2: have people who are not who they say they are,
21:38
Speaker 2: and they'll try to hone in on your goodness. And
21:42
Speaker 2: when I say your goodness, I mean on the good
21:44
Speaker 2: things that you're doing. They'll try to take a part
21:48
Speaker 2: of that from you and make it their own. And
21:53
Speaker 2: that's what may have happened to Nicole, that they took
21:57
Speaker 2: a big part of her which is her craft h
22:00
Speaker 2: and that's her writing, and they put it at a festival.
22:05
Speaker 2: I don't know what type of festival it is. I'm
22:07
Speaker 2: not sure if she found out what type of festival
22:10
Speaker 2: it was, but she wasn't happening when she spoke to
22:15
Speaker 2: me about it. And you know, I told her she
22:18
Speaker 2: needs to get with her management team so they can
22:20
Speaker 2: grab control of that so it won't happen again. And
22:24
Speaker 2: for those of you are listening, I hope you have
22:27
Speaker 2: a great management team or a great team working with
22:30
Speaker 2: you so they can keep their eyes and ears out
22:34
Speaker 2: for I'll say books snatches. They'll snatch, try to snatch
22:39
Speaker 2: your book up and promote it as if they're the
22:43
Speaker 2: promoter for your book. So that could be a legal
22:47
Speaker 2: matter for her, That could be something that she may
22:51
Speaker 2: want to look into or find out who the person
22:56
Speaker 2: was and what their intentions were on putting that book
22:59
Speaker 2: out there. I don't know whether it was good intentions
23:02
Speaker 2: or whether it was something they wanted to do to
23:04
Speaker 2: harm her or to bring her credit down as far
23:11
Speaker 2: as who she is and what she's about. So you
23:15
Speaker 2: have to be mindful when you put things out there.
23:19
Speaker 2: Other people are always watching, and there's always somebody out
23:22
Speaker 2: there ready to take your place. And no matter what
23:24
Speaker 2: you do, whether you're an author, whether you're a singer,
23:28
Speaker 2: whether you're an actor actress, it happens where people are
23:35
Speaker 2: not so kind when it comes to people doing things
23:39
Speaker 2: that they love, when it comes to people really minding
23:43
Speaker 2: their own business and on their own path. The kids
23:48
Speaker 2: say that people are haters. Be it as it may.
23:54
Speaker 2: Some people may consider people haters. I feel as though
24:00
Speaker 2: it's enough out there for everyone. So if it was
24:04
Speaker 2: your ideal of this person, or anybody's idea to take
24:06
Speaker 2: somebody else's work and put it out there and present
24:10
Speaker 2: it as if they were a part of it, why
24:16
Speaker 2: not call and ask that person, would you mind me
24:19
Speaker 2: presenting your book at a festival or presenting your stuff
24:25
Speaker 2: or whatever it is that you created at wherever it
24:28
Speaker 2: is that they want it to be. That would be
24:31
Speaker 2: the logical thing to do instead of just going out
24:35
Speaker 2: and just doing that. I received phone calls from people
24:38
Speaker 2: who say they, oh, they want to have my book
24:41
Speaker 2: at some place. They want to have it here, they
24:43
Speaker 2: want to have there. And one of the things that
24:44
Speaker 2: I noticed that they did was they started dropping names.
24:48
Speaker 2: You know, they started dropping some well known publishing company.
24:55
Speaker 2: To me, that was a turnoff. If you are who
24:58
Speaker 2: you say you are, then you don't need to drop
25:00
Speaker 2: names of publishing companies. And if I wanted to be
25:03
Speaker 2: involved with that publishing company, I can contact them myself
25:06
Speaker 2: or have my team contacting. It's nice that you reached
25:09
Speaker 2: out to me, but it feels as though something was
25:11
Speaker 2: behind it. And for a couple of the people that
25:13
Speaker 2: I spoke to, we found that there were other things
25:16
Speaker 2: that were behind it, and so we're mindful of people.
25:21
Speaker 2: And they would call, and then they would call again,
25:23
Speaker 2: and they would use a different number. They would have
25:26
Speaker 2: their partners or buddies or whoever call with a different number.
25:32
Speaker 2: One time it'll be a man, the next time it'll
25:34
Speaker 2: be a woman. The voice would be lighter, They'll be
25:37
Speaker 2: calling from a different area code, selling me the same stuff,
25:41
Speaker 2: telling me that they want me to sign with them,
25:43
Speaker 2: they'll send me a contract. Like really, I'm not sure
25:47
Speaker 2: if anybody's heard of Boogoo, but this is no fool here.
25:51
Speaker 2: I'm very I try to be as careful as I
25:52
Speaker 2: can be with everything that I do. And that's just
25:57
Speaker 2: some advice for those who are or just starting out
26:01
Speaker 2: and for those who've already been in the business for years.
26:05
Speaker 2: Just to keep that in the back of your head
26:07
Speaker 2: that people are out there and they're watching and they're
26:12
Speaker 2: just waiting for their moment to just go in. And
26:16
Speaker 2: I think they try to catch people when they're vulnerable.
26:19
Speaker 2: You know. They look at somebody's books, whether they're doing
26:22
Speaker 2: well or whether they're not doing well. They figured this
26:24
Speaker 2: is the time to strike. So be careful as far
26:28
Speaker 2: as what you write and who you associate with, and
26:33
Speaker 2: any contract that they want you to sign, read the
26:38
Speaker 2: fine nine. They may offer you money, hundreds or thousands
26:41
Speaker 2: of dollars. They're ready to make money off of you.
26:46
Speaker 2: My children's book, she named me Stacy. Some people are
26:50
Speaker 2: told me, oh, yeah, we can make a cartoon out
26:52
Speaker 2: of this. Well, that's something I thought I can do. Myself,
26:55
Speaker 2: but it's not the time for it right now. I'm
26:58
Speaker 2: not ready to make Stacy a cartoon. That's their idea
27:04
Speaker 2: of saying, we want the rights to your book. No,
27:12
Speaker 2: I don't sell the rights to anything that I create.
27:18
Speaker 2: I may have a conversation with you, but I don't
27:20
Speaker 2: sell my rights to you because it's my right to
27:24
Speaker 2: keep my rights to myself and to publish and to
27:28
Speaker 2: put it out there the way that I want to.
27:29
Speaker 2: I wouldn't care about sold one book, and it's been
27:33
Speaker 2: fifteen or twenty years, it's still my book, So I'm
27:37
Speaker 2: not going to sell rights to you. There is several
27:41
Speaker 2: people who share the same name that I have. The
27:44
Speaker 2: only thing is this is my name and that could
27:46
Speaker 2: be their pin name. No shade to anybody. But somebody
27:50
Speaker 2: called me and asked me how was my book doing?
27:53
Speaker 2: And they used the title that I've heard of and
27:57
Speaker 2: it belongs to someone else, and I had to tell
28:00
Speaker 2: them they had the wrong person. So they apologized for that.
28:03
Speaker 2: But then they sent me a text message and an email.
28:06
Speaker 2: How they got my phone number I don't know, but
28:08
Speaker 2: they apologized and said that it was their mistake and
28:11
Speaker 2: they wanted and they I guess they did some homework
28:13
Speaker 2: and they found out which books were mine, and they
28:16
Speaker 2: asked me about working with them on those books. I
28:23
Speaker 2: didn't even entertain it. I was just so turned off
28:28
Speaker 2: for them calling me in the first place and getting
28:30
Speaker 2: in touch with me to ask me about a book
28:32
Speaker 2: that didn't even belong to me. Again, we shared the
28:35
Speaker 2: same name, but we didn't share that book. I have
28:37
Speaker 2: nothing to do with that person's book, and it's probably
28:40
Speaker 2: a great book. It's just that I'm not going to
28:42
Speaker 2: take ownership for something that wasn't mine. So that also
28:45
Speaker 2: gets you right back into the habitual lie. I gotta
28:48
Speaker 2: lie and say, oh, yeah, that's my book. Yeah, send
28:51
Speaker 2: me the money for it. I can sign for it.
28:55
Speaker 2: That's not who I am. That's not things that I do.
28:58
Speaker 2: So I see that Nicole Well still isn't able to
29:02
Speaker 2: get through through tonight. And I'm not going to try
29:08
Speaker 2: to keep you guys. I'm not going to keep trying
29:10
Speaker 2: to ramble on about anything. But again, if you are
29:14
Speaker 2: in the Maryland the DMB area, stop by the Noble
29:19
Speaker 2: Banquet Hall on November sixteenth or four pm. I am
29:23
Speaker 2: releasing my book and get it signed and have a
29:33
Speaker 2: great time.
29:53
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Black Diamond, but we'll
29:55
Speaker 1: see if she comes back home. I know she's excited
30:08
Speaker 1: about her book and being able to share it, so
30:12
Speaker 1: hopefully she'll be able to come back on. I don't
30:13
Speaker 1: know what happened. I'll tell you. It's just been one
30:16
Speaker 1: thing after another. But yet we press so missing a pole.
30:22
Speaker 2: How are you doing? I can't hear you.
30:38
Speaker 1: She's back, Black Diamond's back.
30:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry. I have no idea what happened. That
30:45
Speaker 2: has never happened to me before. But I was talking
30:47
Speaker 2: about you earlier when I thought you was able to
30:50
Speaker 2: get on the Cold Thank you, thank you, thank you
30:52
Speaker 2: a thousand times. Thank you for coming on the show
30:56
Speaker 2: and such short notice. I was telling them that you
31:00
Speaker 2: had been on the show before, we did a mini series,
31:03
Speaker 2: and you have even come back to talk and discuss
31:06
Speaker 2: other things. So I don't consider you. I don't consider
31:09
Speaker 2: you a guest anymore. I consider you like family. You
31:11
Speaker 2: come at the drop of a dime, and you're then.
31:14
Speaker 2: You've always been supportive, and I truly appreciate you for
31:18
Speaker 2: doing that. So we spoke about something else that we're
31:22
Speaker 2: going to be working on together, and I'm going to
31:24
Speaker 2: be talking to you about that, and I was talking
31:28
Speaker 2: to them about our conversation earlier about your book being
31:31
Speaker 2: at a festival and you didn't give permission for it
31:35
Speaker 2: to be at the festival. How did you find out
31:38
Speaker 2: that the book was there? You're a mute. I can't
31:45
Speaker 2: hear you. I can hear you now. No, you went
31:58
Speaker 2: back off. Your headphones had some some sound in it,
32:04
Speaker 2: so you might have to put them back on because
32:05
Speaker 2: I can hear I can hear noise. It had some
32:14
Speaker 2: type of sound and it made some kind of noise.
32:20
Speaker 1: Should need to check her phone settings.
32:24
Speaker 2: Check your phone settings, Nicole, No, I still can't hear you.
32:43
Speaker 2: Your you freeze up every once in a while, but
32:46
Speaker 2: I still can't hear you. You check your phone settings,
32:49
Speaker 2: or you may have to go out and come back in. Well, anyway,
33:02
Speaker 2: that's about the gist of what's been going on with me.
33:06
Speaker 2: I will oh I will be traveling up to New
33:10
Speaker 2: York November the second. I have some surprises for a
33:15
Speaker 2: few people. I would surprise myself when I found out something.
33:20
Speaker 2: I want to let you know about it. I'll let
33:24
Speaker 2: you know about it during my show in November after
33:28
Speaker 2: the sixteenth. Well, after the second, I'll be able to
33:31
Speaker 2: share it with everybody and it blew me away. So
33:36
Speaker 2: I don't want to give about too much of it.
33:38
Speaker 2: But it was really nice. Nope, still can't hear you.
33:43
Speaker 2: I have no idea what's going on? Well, We're gonna
33:49
Speaker 2: play in a NOD game. I'll ask the questions and
33:51
Speaker 2: you not. We spoke, can you hear me? Okay? Good? Now?
33:58
Speaker 2: I spoke to them about out your book being at
34:02
Speaker 2: a festival. Was it a friend that told you about that?
34:07
Speaker 2: Or did you just see it pop up on the internet.
34:11
Speaker 2: It wasn't a friend that told you that your book
34:13
Speaker 2: was at the festival? Was it a family member that
34:21
Speaker 2: told you your book was at the festival? So I'm
34:25
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how did you find out the
34:27
Speaker 2: book was at the festival? Oh? You was emailed? See
34:32
Speaker 2: now this is where the old part of me comes
34:34
Speaker 2: in that because I got to put my glasses on
34:35
Speaker 2: so I can read it. You was emailed by a promoter.
34:40
Speaker 1: Oh?
34:40
Speaker 2: So was it the promoter that emailed you? Were they
34:44
Speaker 2: the ones that had your book at the festival or
34:46
Speaker 2: did they see it there and say that they was
34:48
Speaker 2: interested in something? Well? I hope that you was able
35:02
Speaker 2: to get some royalties from your book being there at
35:04
Speaker 2: the festival and even find out who was behind Do
35:10
Speaker 2: you know who was behind it? She's typeding in chat
35:17
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna read it out to you. I know
35:19
Speaker 2: this is a little bit unorthodox. They saw it there,
35:22
Speaker 2: they read it and wanted to promote it. I got
35:25
Speaker 2: some royalties. Oh well, that was one good thing. That
35:28
Speaker 2: that's one good thing that you was able to do.
35:31
Speaker 2: So do you know who who was behind it? The
35:38
Speaker 2: person or the persons that took it to the festival.
35:47
Speaker 2: I'm thinking that it was my ex because he did
35:50
Speaker 2: it before. Wow, have you sought legal action against this
35:56
Speaker 2: person for taking your books to a festival? No legal action? Well,
36:10
Speaker 2: the thing is, I'm not sure if it's a good
36:11
Speaker 2: thing or a bad thing. He had to have purchased
36:13
Speaker 2: a lot of your books to take it to a
36:15
Speaker 2: festival and sell them, and then you get royalties from it.
36:20
Speaker 2: The only bad thing that I see, well, it was
36:23
Speaker 2: in San Diegow. It was in San Diego. You're not
36:25
Speaker 2: in San Diego? Are you? So this alleged ex decided
36:39
Speaker 2: to have your books in San Diego? Maybe? Do you
36:43
Speaker 2: think your ex was in San Diego? At the time,
36:45
Speaker 2: or that he knew somebody that he had a connection with.
36:48
Speaker 2: I know, I'm asking a lot of questions and you
36:50
Speaker 2: can type but so quick. Well, just like I was
37:09
Speaker 2: saying earlier, that you really have to try to protect
37:12
Speaker 2: yourself and protect what you create, your craft, your artistry
37:20
Speaker 2: and everything you have to protect it. And like I said,
37:23
Speaker 2: there's people out there that for some reason, they want
37:27
Speaker 2: to act as if they're your manager or promoter. Or
37:33
Speaker 2: if this was your ex that did this, I couldn't
37:37
Speaker 2: even begin to phantom why he would have your books there.
37:42
Speaker 2: I was in Baton Rouge at the time of the festival.
37:45
Speaker 2: He also had a car dealership in California. Email me
37:49
Speaker 2: during the time of the festival, which was close to
37:51
Speaker 2: the fourth July. Nicole, was you saying something because it
37:57
Speaker 2: sounded like I heard something. So you were in Baton
38:02
Speaker 2: Rouge at the time of the festival and you said
38:04
Speaker 2: he also had a car dealership in California. Email you
38:08
Speaker 2: during the time of the festival, which was close to
38:10
Speaker 2: the fourth of July. Do you think this X is
38:14
Speaker 2: either trying to annoy you or trying to get back
38:17
Speaker 2: with you or both. You don't know. Have you heard
38:30
Speaker 2: from him since I think you said it was in September.
38:35
Speaker 2: September to twenty fourth, a few weeks ago when you
38:37
Speaker 2: found out about it. Oh, he's not Oh, excuse me,
38:41
Speaker 2: he's not talking to you. He's not talking to you.
38:43
Speaker 2: But he's using your stuff and he's promoting it his way.
38:47
Speaker 2: And do you think he's selling it for more than
38:51
Speaker 2: what it's priced and he's making a profit from it
38:54
Speaker 2: as well. That's really shady. He could be because he
39:17
Speaker 2: loves money. Well, you know, I ain't gonna say he's
39:24
Speaker 2: a broke person. But for somebody to do that, and
39:33
Speaker 2: I'm not accusing this man of anything, but for somebody
39:36
Speaker 2: to do that, they really have to be desperate. He
39:42
Speaker 2: did the budget when we were Oh he did the
39:46
Speaker 2: budget when we were together. To see. Now here's where
39:48
Speaker 2: I start telling women about a lesson. You don't let
39:53
Speaker 2: nobody deal with your money. You take care of your
39:56
Speaker 2: own business, and you take care of your own money,
40:00
Speaker 2: because when they get too close to it, things start
40:05
Speaker 2: to happen. I know that some people they thinkure, well
40:08
Speaker 2: what's mine is his and what's his is mine, and
40:10
Speaker 2: we together and I love this person, and they might
40:12
Speaker 2: boo or whatever. The case may be, but we not
40:15
Speaker 2: much of a boo when it comes to my money,
40:18
Speaker 2: because you'll be boohooing if you mess with my money.
40:22
Speaker 2: Ain't the anger coming back? That's just me saying so.
40:28
Speaker 2: And what about posting something you know on on social
40:33
Speaker 2: media that if they find your book at festivals or
40:42
Speaker 2: find them in different places and whatnot, even though your
40:44
Speaker 2: books are all over the place, you know, and that's
40:46
Speaker 2: because you gave permission. But do you think my money
40:51
Speaker 2: was my money and he gave me his Oh go ahead, girl,
40:56
Speaker 2: go ahead, I hear you. But but still trying to
41:02
Speaker 2: see if you can put something on social media so
41:06
Speaker 2: when this, if this happens again, that people will know
41:10
Speaker 2: to contact you directly and know that you didn't get
41:14
Speaker 2: permission to him, or you can just put a statement
41:17
Speaker 2: on social media letting people know that this has happened
41:22
Speaker 2: and it's possible that it happens again. The only positive thing,
41:25
Speaker 2: if you want to say it's a positive thing, is
41:27
Speaker 2: that you're getting royalties. But then he's benefiting from it
41:31
Speaker 2: as well, or someone is benefiting from it as well,
41:35
Speaker 2: which is it's not good. It's not something that should
41:41
Speaker 2: be happening. You really have to get with your team
41:46
Speaker 2: to be able to see if you can do I'm
41:50
Speaker 2: not a lawyer, cease and desist that kind of Oh,
41:53
Speaker 2: I guess it wouldn't freak you out, especially with him
41:56
Speaker 2: not speaking to you. Now. Is this the ex that
42:01
Speaker 2: the books were about or that we discussed before. Oh lord,
42:09
Speaker 2: he's back this guy. Don't give up, dew We you
42:16
Speaker 2: guys have to. If you haven't seen this show. If
42:21
Speaker 2: you haven't seen the show, we did a trilogy and
42:24
Speaker 2: we really got to know Nicole and we got to
42:28
Speaker 2: learn about this X of hers. So I suggest you
42:31
Speaker 2: go back. I think that was like in March we
42:33
Speaker 2: did that. Go look at the replay and listen to
42:39
Speaker 2: her journey with this gentleman because it's something. It is something,
42:44
Speaker 2: and the books that she wrote about there's something as well.
42:48
Speaker 2: But you really have to go and do the replay
42:52
Speaker 2: and listen to her journey about how things got started
43:00
Speaker 2: and how things ended. But evidently it didn't end on
43:03
Speaker 2: his part. You seem to have moved on. Am I
43:08
Speaker 2: correct that you moved on? Because that seemed like it's
43:12
Speaker 2: a whole other show. So you got me leaning to
43:17
Speaker 2: the side now because I want to know more. I
43:20
Speaker 2: wasn't even think if we were going there with him.
43:23
Speaker 2: He was invited to your brother's wedding and you didn't go,
43:26
Speaker 2: and he didn't go. Okay, you didn't go because you
43:31
Speaker 2: thought he was gonna actually be there and you didn't
43:35
Speaker 2: want to see him. Now on, do you know why
43:39
Speaker 2: he didn't go. Do you think that his reason was
43:41
Speaker 2: the same, that he didn't go because he thought because
43:44
Speaker 2: it's your brother that you would be there, or that
43:48
Speaker 2: he was afraid. Probably he was afraid of running into you.
43:53
Speaker 2: So we already know that he's a brother's friend. Are
43:56
Speaker 2: they still? Have you told your brother what's been going
43:58
Speaker 2: on as far him putting your book at the festival
44:02
Speaker 2: or you suspecting that it was him because you don't
44:06
Speaker 2: have proof that it was him, do you? And you
44:09
Speaker 2: said that somebody from a car dealership contacted you. I
44:30
Speaker 2: thought after all of that that that would be over,
44:33
Speaker 2: that he would go his way and he would leave
44:37
Speaker 2: you alone. He still has a wife, doesn't he? Or
44:44
Speaker 2: did she finally say I'm fed up, it's too much,
44:49
Speaker 2: I'm moving on. You can go your way and the
44:54
Speaker 2: next question I have, I'll ask you a question right
44:56
Speaker 2: after you have the next question. Yes, and he says
45:09
Speaker 2: that he doesn't want to be in our business and
45:13
Speaker 2: that I shouldn't taking the car because I needed No,
45:17
Speaker 2: he isn't married anymore. Well, somebody had sense, I guess.
45:21
Speaker 2: But he said you shouldn't have taken the car. What
45:23
Speaker 2: car is he talking about, because I don't hear nothing
45:26
Speaker 2: about no car until just now. So in other words,
45:28
Speaker 2: that he had a car and he figured that you
45:30
Speaker 2: took his car. Look, there's a lot going on with
45:33
Speaker 2: this guy, and he's not even still in a relationship
45:36
Speaker 2: with you, but it seems like he just wants it appears,
45:42
Speaker 2: and I'll try to keep it clean because I can't
45:44
Speaker 2: say things for sure because I don't know him. Like,
45:49
Speaker 2: he has nothing else to do. He isn't married anymore,
45:52
Speaker 2: he's not in a relationship with you anymore. I guess
45:55
Speaker 2: he still speaks to your brother, and I guess that
46:06
Speaker 2: he has nothing else to do. Is he in the
46:09
Speaker 2: same town with you now? Or is he in San Diego?
46:16
Speaker 2: Because that's where the book was at. We're gonna have
46:38
Speaker 2: to have another show because this seems just to be
46:43
Speaker 2: adding up to a little bit more than where we
46:46
Speaker 2: left off at. We might have to call that show bookmark,
46:49
Speaker 2: because that's what this is about. It's about a whole
46:52
Speaker 2: nother chapter. The car dealership in California emailed you about
47:01
Speaker 2: a car. He still has some of my personal belongings
47:04
Speaker 2: and won't give them back. He's in Baton Rouge and
47:07
Speaker 2: I'm in Monroe, my hometown. Your personal belongings, the person
47:14
Speaker 2: belongs that he have of yours. Is it something that
47:16
Speaker 2: you want back? Something that you can live without? Now?
47:26
Speaker 2: I know people have personal things that mean a lot
47:29
Speaker 2: to them, but to have closure with this guy, is
47:32
Speaker 2: it worth getting those things back? And you want your
47:38
Speaker 2: coat back and you want your Alex, your Alexa back?
47:42
Speaker 1: What? So?
47:43
Speaker 2: Now you got to catch me up on this Alexa?
47:44
Speaker 2: What is Is it some ear buds or EarPods or
47:49
Speaker 2: or is it Alexa? You're saying alexis like a car. Oh,
47:54
Speaker 2: she must be talking to her son. What is an Alexa?
48:01
Speaker 2: Beat me up on that. Now you're done. Went from
48:04
Speaker 2: Alexa to Echo dot like, I know what that is.
48:08
Speaker 2: I'm from Minatari stages. You're talking about something? What that
48:14
Speaker 2: some kind of gadget? I gotta ask my kids what
48:16
Speaker 2: Alexa is? And well, oh, it's a smart speak go
48:21
Speaker 2: oh thanks helped me out because I didn't know what
48:23
Speaker 2: it was. Okay, well, tweety, he probably sold that. He
48:31
Speaker 2: either sold it or he's hanging on to it. I'm sorry.
48:34
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. If he's trying to get money off your books.
48:39
Speaker 2: He either sold it because he needed the money, or
48:42
Speaker 2: either he's holding on to it because he wants to
48:44
Speaker 2: hold on to you because he know that those things
48:47
Speaker 2: meant a lot to you. So he's maybe he's thinking
48:52
Speaker 2: that you're gonna contact him so you can get those
48:55
Speaker 2: things back or talk about those things because he's holding
48:59
Speaker 2: onto some stuff. I'm not saying it's just stuff. I
49:04
Speaker 2: get it that you want your coat back, you know,
49:08
Speaker 2: because it does get cold out there, and your echo
49:12
Speaker 2: dot which is a smart speaker which you can use
49:14
Speaker 2: because you are, you know, an author and you do
49:17
Speaker 2: a lot of speaking, so you can use that back.
49:19
Speaker 2: But with the reyalties that he's bringing it for you,
49:26
Speaker 2: get another coat, get another smart speaker. Oh girl, let
49:32
Speaker 2: him kick the lingerie. You can imagine what he's doing
49:35
Speaker 2: with that. Let him kick the lingerie. Tell him that's
49:38
Speaker 2: a Christmas skift that's from you to him, Merry Christmas,
49:43
Speaker 2: and he has the lingerie. Come on, now that could
49:47
Speaker 2: be what his wife may have found and left him
49:50
Speaker 2: because he found that he's still after all this time,
49:54
Speaker 2: was holding onto your lingerie. Like, if he's telling her
49:56
Speaker 2: it's over with, why would he still hold on to
49:58
Speaker 2: your lingerie? So something in his mind may be saying
50:04
Speaker 2: that it ain't over at least on his part, but
50:09
Speaker 2: on your part, Well, let me ask you this. On
50:12
Speaker 2: your part, is it over now? For that you ain't
50:18
Speaker 2: have to type in anything. You couldna just oh girl,
50:22
Speaker 2: you that make me sit back on that one. Now.
50:27
Speaker 2: The answer to saying I don't know is that I
50:29
Speaker 2: don't know that you don't know whether it's over on
50:31
Speaker 2: your part or that he doesn't think that it's over.
50:37
Speaker 2: Which one is it? I'm gonna ask this question this way.
50:40
Speaker 2: Is it is the relationship over for you? The relationship
50:44
Speaker 2: with him? Is it over for you? Where you're done?
50:48
Speaker 2: Whether you got the stuff back or not. He thinks
51:12
Speaker 2: that he owns me. I'm done? Well with that, said, Nicole,
51:19
Speaker 2: I want you to be careful because this could be
51:23
Speaker 2: somebody who may need some supporter services, So be careful. Okay,
51:34
Speaker 2: you're saying you're done, but if you're thinking that he
51:37
Speaker 2: feels as though he owns you, and he's holding on
51:40
Speaker 2: to He's holding on to things like that, you know, Monserie,
51:45
Speaker 2: a smart speaker, your coat, excuse me, you're smart speaker,
51:53
Speaker 2: your coat, and now your books. He's still trying to
51:56
Speaker 2: be a part of your life. You're done with that.
52:01
Speaker 2: I just want you to be safe because sometimes it's
52:05
Speaker 2: hard for people when there's a breakup. And for him,
52:10
Speaker 2: he may have thought that he lost a lot. You know,
52:13
Speaker 2: he lost you, he lost his wife. Wait a minute,
52:20
Speaker 2: I remember you telling me he was a prominent person.
52:24
Speaker 2: So he needs to be a little bit more careful
52:26
Speaker 2: with the way he's going about things as well, because
52:30
Speaker 2: he can lose a lot more than you and his wife.
52:35
Speaker 2: You know, people are hearing you, and people may be
52:41
Speaker 2: watching him, you know, watching the things that he's doing.
52:45
Speaker 2: So being that he had the position that you told
52:48
Speaker 2: me he had, he needs to be careful. He lost
52:52
Speaker 2: his government job and clients. So you really need to
52:58
Speaker 2: be careful because that rate there, that rate there may
53:06
Speaker 2: not turn out well. And I'm hoping that he seeks
53:11
Speaker 2: help for what he's going through. I don't know what
53:17
Speaker 2: he's going through or what he may be going through.
53:19
Speaker 2: I I you know, all jokes aside for what you're
53:22
Speaker 2: saying right here. I'm really hoping that he gets some
53:25
Speaker 2: support and I hope that he has to support system
53:29
Speaker 2: to help him through what he's going through. But you
53:33
Speaker 2: and I we got to talk. We gotta talk. We
53:36
Speaker 2: gotta talk about a lot of things. But we're gonna
53:38
Speaker 2: talk about this too. But we're gonna talk about this
53:40
Speaker 2: in private because I know some other things that I
53:43
Speaker 2: know you're not willing to share with everybody, So I
53:45
Speaker 2: don't want to put you out there. And oh, that
53:48
Speaker 2: is that is wonderful that you're praying, and I hope
53:50
Speaker 2: that you're praying for him as well, And I'm gonna
53:51
Speaker 2: be praying for both of you because it puts you
53:55
Speaker 2: in a situation and it definitely is putting him in
53:58
Speaker 2: a situation as well. But again, as always, it is
54:03
Speaker 2: wonderful having you as my backup. It's wonderful talking to you.
54:07
Speaker 2: We talk anyway. But this I didn't know anything about.
54:10
Speaker 2: But you know now I got to get to the
54:12
Speaker 2: nitty gritty of a lot of this stuff, and I
54:14
Speaker 2: do want to know, but I'm not going to share
54:16
Speaker 2: with everybody else because you know how we do. I
54:18
Speaker 2: don't put your business out there like that. But I
54:21
