• 7:07
  Speaker 3: write home, and I always said I'm going to be
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: an author, and that's allowed me to do that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Twenty fifteen, I published my first book.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So ah, so what was the title of your first book?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: My first book was titled young Love, and that's just
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: what it was about, young love.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So.

  Speaker 3: My second book is Chances that was published in twenty nineteen.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of and I use the same characters and
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: it's just so it's like her as she grew up.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: My same character.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Her name was Lukesha, So instead of the young love,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you know, she just really wanted that by with her
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: father and that's something that she allysongs for.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: And then she met him one day because she grew
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: up without father.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: So after she met her, then like he was in
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: her life and he wanted to do all things her
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: but then like he.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Was breaking her heart.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: So she dealt with you know, psychologically she's dealt with something,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: depressions and all that stuff in and out of her life.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: But then it's also a beautiful love story as well.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, so now we got young love and the older
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: love or chances. So now is what's sure? How many
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: books have you published?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Three?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: This is my third book, A for Bit of Faith,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and that's my first children's books.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we went from Love the Faith, from Young
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Love the children's books. Yes, to explain that list.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: So even as a so as an author, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: as we grow up, we we just we grow up
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: and you know, more mature. So now the Lord bless
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: me the Sunday school teacher and I work with children
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and they're really my motivation. So I want to kind
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: of step into a new round.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I remember teacher Sunday School. Oh, these were.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: So.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I used to go to this church called Full Gospel
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Faith Tabernacle was right across street from my grandma's house.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And these were I want to say to three to five. Okay, yes,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: it was called instant birth control. When you're in high school,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you're being around crazy Jesus. But I'm about to chop
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you the neck of your eye, you know, Jesus. But
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that's a big it's like literally two different worlds. So yeah,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: were you able to use any of your techniques that
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: you use for your first book into the ABC's of Faith?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Well, actually so I think no, because, like I said,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I was, you know, young Love is kind of rated
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: R and then we go from rated A.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Children, so you know, I would say no. But the
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: thing is, it didn't take me wrong at all to
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: write it. I was just writing.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Because they were my motivation, my my my daughter she's five,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and that I have a son who's eighteen.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: So they're my motivation too.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And my daughter she's still with so much joke and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, I write a book
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: about that. Actually, but God had the plan form and
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: he was just like, oh, you gotta do this.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: So now I see we have something in common because
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you said you're so your five year old, I bet
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: you that's a girl. Yes, And your eighteen year old
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: is he your boy? Yes? He is girl. It's something
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I have a twenty okay hold on now, a twenty
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: three year old son and a nine year old daughter.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Sidol oh, okay, I totally understand what. I know what
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you're talking about. Yeah, yeah it's so.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Hey, look it just be like that. Things happen.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Hey it was Paul Mason. That's all I can say. Yeah,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: you understand. So tell us a little bit about the A, B. C.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Of Faith. Tell us a little bit about children's book.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, so the children's book, I'm gonna I'm gonna show
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: you alphabet of faith. So so so I'm gonna just
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: start with the cover. The cover is with children with
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: bit alike. Oh my son he has. So that was
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: really special to me and important to me. What's also
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: important to me, you know, teaching the children school, they're
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: learning scriptures.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Small scriptures.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: So then sometimes when they go to school, kids are cruel,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: you know, people like you're being bullied or just you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: just getting talked about. So I wanted them to know
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: who God says you walk. So God said you're this,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: God said you're that. So that's where the alphabetic faiths
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: come in. So I am anointed, I am black. But
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: it also has a Bible verse a scripture to go
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: as well, and it's a first of a scripture to
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: each letter of the outfit, so no efforts to that
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: go back and reference. See this is what God said
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: you want. So you listen to this. You don't listen
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to the people at school.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You know. Now that is awesome because it's it's it's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: an information. So I mean you could actually literally teach
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a child the word of God and teach them an affirmation.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: And if if you're like me, you deal, well, I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: try to try to try to do one thing a week,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and that would be crazy. So you have a critic
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: in your house. What does she say about mommy's book?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: She loves it, actually, she So I have one scripture
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: that she knows by heart. Well, she knows a few
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: by heart, but we call that the ten Fingerprisers. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: can do all things the Christ strengthens me. She loves that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Then it's a girl she stands with her superhero. Okay,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: so and that's letting her know I can do all
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: things through Christ, who strengthens me.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Oh that's so sweet doing your mom That is sweet.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: So who would be your id?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Rudom?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: We know their kids of course, But is there a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: target child that you're looking for? No?
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Look, and it's not been directed towards children. Yeah, it's
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: a children's book, but it's not only towards children because
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: you know, we as adult.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: When we go to work, there's.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Some people who are streak up, you know, or even
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: us sometimes we look at other people and say, oh,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I don't have what they got, or we get we
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: get jealous of somebody else's blessing, got the calls to
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: do that. Why are we getting jealous of they're blessing?
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: God bless them, He can bless you as well. So
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think I.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Really have a target. But you know, it's for children,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: but I think it's for a doctor life too.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Now that's great, that's great. And then the reason why
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I say that's great is because I think we as adults,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: we kind of forget the little things, the little lessons
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: in life. We always look for this big grand gesture. Wow.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And I am literally telling them myself right now, it's
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: the little things that matter. Yes, I hear you, and
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and I'm hearing you in my ears. Yeah, it's the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: little things that matter. So what else are you looking
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: to to to make aware? Within this book? Is there
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: any type of awareness that you're trying to do? And
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: then you're giving us how afromin shance, You're you're speaking
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: life in us, You're speaking life into the kids. You're
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: helping us learn many scriptures that we could take along
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the day, because hey, everybody don't know John three and sixteen,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: but I bet they know Jesus weft, you know what
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. So, so what other message are you trying
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to bring through with your book?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: You know, I want I want them to be encouraged
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: and love one another. You know, I have a lot
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: of African American children, but there's some, you know, just
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: all people of color. You know, I want it's not
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: just about black or white. It's awful all kids.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I want them to leave reading that book feeling encouraged,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: feeling like I can't you know, I can't do all
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: things through Christ, who strengthens me. You know, like that
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: says I'm miss that's amazing. And then just dwell on that,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: dwell on what God says you are all the other negativity.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: That's what I want.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: That is awesome. That is so awesome. So I'm about
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to put you on the spot. Which one is your
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: favorite letter?
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I'll say, uh no, I really didn't think about that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: One of my favorite letters, but maybe prayerful because.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: You know, sometimes.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of stuff going on, especially in the
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: world today, so it's dark, you know, the president tripping,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: so it's just a lot of things going on, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I say, we just need to be more prayerful, so.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: We got it back.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably my favorite. And then it's a young lady.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: The illustration is a young lady. She's just sitting there.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: She just prays, you know, and it's real. It's just beautiful.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about your illustrations and how Okay, so
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the illustrations came from as meta from She's amazing.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: So you know, actually I would have wanted an African American,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: you know, to do the.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Illustrations because I just feel like we should get all together.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: But it's like it doesn't always go like that. So
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I found her on this website and I just love
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: her work.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: She was amazing.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: It was just like everything I wanted and she delivered.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: She did she did her thing with it, so I'm
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: real happy with it too.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, now that's what's up. Shouts out to you, miss illustrator.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So how are you marketing your book? Are you going
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to schools, are you going to churches? Are you going
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to fair this book signing? How do you plan on marketing?
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: So of course word of mouth. I think that's the biggest.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I mean the Internet is the biggest, but also a
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: word about because people got big mouth, because people can talk.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm going to do signing at my church
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: March March third. I'm going to do a signing there.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: That still kind of work out some king I work.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I do work also as a school and so I'm
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: going to be speaking there. They don't quite have the date,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: but I'm speaking there to the children as well.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: That is great. That is awesome. I mean a lot
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: of a lot of individuals do not market their books.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: They write the book and say, okay, I've written it,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: that's it. But the fact that you're reaching out and
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you're going to your your workplace, which is school, your church,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: that is absolutely awesome. So what made you want to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: become a writer.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Back back in the day when I was back in
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Now, see I'm weird like that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I just be thinking about stuff you do.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so when you know, when I was in school,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: I used to just love reading and write.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I will write home like all the time, and I'll
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: look at this person and I'll write home about this person,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: or I'll write it home about you know, how I feeling.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: And then I just I don't know. I love to
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: read him write, and I said, I'd be a writer.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna be an author. And like I said,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I allowed to do that in twenty fifteen.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: So and look at you now, okay, God, so and
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I know I sent you some questions, but then I
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: also didn't say these some questions. So on my show,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: we usually do these off the wall questions. All right, now,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: she said she wouldn't.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's go.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: If you can collaborate with any hmm. So, because that
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: book is about faith, if you can collaborate with any
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: black history, not of course African American gospel artists, who
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: would it be? And why.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: What you hit me with that? I was thinking, you're
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: gonna say an author?
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: You just I wasn't going to stay off that first.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: And I was like, nah, that's too easy.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Because I listen, I had it in my head already
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: who I was gonna say, but not gospel.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: MJ.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I love him.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Pastor myke Junior, that's my dog. Listen, I met him
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: one time. I was so hyped.

  Speaker 2: But okay, so Pastor, what would be the title? Oh
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: mm hmmm.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness the title, and we won.

  Speaker 3: something like we won or were here listen, we're here,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: all right to be here?
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: We're here.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: So let's take in another spin. If you can have
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: any any African American preacher Narry your first book, young Love,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: who would it be.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Now? Please?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Because I can't see now.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: I don't want this to be like a god person.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Probably and this is different too because I you know,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: I'll probably say Monique because the way the word, yeah,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the way it's word, she could deliver.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, So what which money? There's this big money? Who
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: was funny? Then we got many money? Who was more serious?
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Many money?
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Probably because she many many?
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't she will put you in your please and
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: then turn around ask you are you okay? After it? Okay?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: So if you can have anybody to put music to
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: your book, let's take it out. What genre would you
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: put your book in? If you had to?

  Speaker 2: I had that for you. I had that for you.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I had hip hop. I had Dietrich Hadden in my head.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I doing your book, And one morning I thought Kirk
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Franklin was like, nah, he too looked junior red. But
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I can see it and see that's that's I like
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: how authors can take their books and just take it
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: out of the rama books and put it in other places,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: because a book is so versatile till it's not funny.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I heard someone say that you can make I think
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: they said seven on nine streams of income off of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: one book. I kind of go back and listen to
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: how they got five, six, seven, and eight, but it
