3:29

3:32
Thank you for having me. So how are you? Let's get you
3:38
know what, I always have a phrase, I'm awesomely amazing. But there's
3:45
this guy I came into contact with about a year or so ago. He
3:50
actually came to my house to tow my car and I asked him how he
3:53
was doing, and he said, I'm living to dream. I said,
3:57
oh, I like that, So I think I starts saying I'm awesomely amazing
4:01
while living the dream. You know what, see look at you? I
4:06
love it. I love it. So tell us a little bit about you
4:11
yourself. My name is Nicole Bradley. I write under two pen names,
4:17
Jasiah and Nai Chandler. I love to write. I've been writing since I
4:23
was nine years old, and writing is one of my gifts. I also
4:28
make candles massage candles. You can take the oil massaging into your skin.
4:32
But we said we ain't responsible for what happened after y'all do all that massage.
4:39
That's all y'all. So a book and a candle you about to create
4:43
all kind of little many people around this world. So you have two pen
4:48
names, so tell us a little bit about him? Why too? Okay,
4:55
So, if I'm being really honest, Jasiah is my first pen name
4:59
that I generally write under. It means blessed princess. I also, for
5:04
years worked as a school teacher, so some of my writings are a little
5:11
Yeah, it's a little risky. So I didn't really need it to be
5:14
attached to my name as far as looking me up and like, okay,
5:19
and she called herself a teacher, No, I don't call myself a teacher.
5:24
I am with the license in forty eight states to teach, but when
5:30
people gonna search and I didn't need them having that some of that raunchy stuff
5:35
like oh I don't know. So that was how I could remain anonymous and
5:40
still do what I wanted to do. And then my other one, Nairie
5:44
Chandler, interesting me and my ex decided to write a book together, like
5:51
I didn't know that I had evolved as a person for trees until two years
5:57
ago when me and my ex sat down and said, let's write a book
6:00
and get this money. And I said, oh, I can do that,
6:03
and that's what we did, and so I wrote under Nayri Chandler.
6:10
So yeah, okay, okay, And I like the fact that you respected
6:14
your career. I do hate the fact that you would have to do that,
6:17
but you have great reason and great intention. So I commend you.
6:23
Thank you. You were a teacher. So I like the guests the degree.
6:29
Okay, this would be interesting. I don't know why I'm pegging you
6:33
for third or are you or were you that cool high school teacher I was.
6:49
For the first ten years of my teaching career, I taught high school
6:53
and then at year eleven, somebody thought it would be cool for me to
6:57
teach elementary. I said in the world that I pissed off because it's really
7:03
that bad. I did not know that elementary teachers work got hard. Kudos
7:10
to you. They teach all subjects. I'm like, who taught this school?
7:15
So I taught elementary for five years, and then I finished up teaching
7:24
high school for another five years. And then after twenty I said, somebody
7:30
else can come in here and make go here mins twenty years. I'm hearing
7:36
teachers drop out in year full five. You did twenty twenty, and I
7:42
said, God, bless everybody who's teaching. God bless your ministry because I
7:46
know what you go through. And it was days where I would just have
7:49
to cause somebody and be like, talk me down, Talk me down,
7:55
because I'm not gonna look good in an orange itchy jump suit. Talk me
8:00
now, this is not orangees and the black No, it's not. So
8:07
we went from teaching and now we have these books. So you say you've
8:13
been writing since you were nine, Yes, how did you continue to grow
8:20
that passion for writing and not get discouraged? If I'm well, we family,
8:28
let me just be brutally honest. I love I love to read and
8:33
I love to write, and so because I love to write, I don't
8:37
like to just write in one genre. So most of the time when I
8:43
was coming up, my writing was essay, contest, academic writing. And
8:48
I love research and writing. And so my first year of college, I
8:56
said, let me find the easiest major they got out here that don't require
9:01
a lot of math and a lot of sciences. I took a genetics class.
9:05
I was felling the genetics class for trees. I WoT. I went
9:09
into my professor's office hours. I said, Sir, I cannot fail this
9:13
class. It's only sitans class I need. I can't do it. I
9:18
said, your multiple choice tests are killing me. He said, what you
9:22
want to do? I said, I get anxiety when I go in there.
9:24
I get hot and sweaty, and I just can't do it. But
9:28
you give me an essay, I can write my ass off. He said,
9:31
oh yeah. I said yeah. He said, well, I can't
9:33
give it to you in the electure. You got to come to my office
9:37
hours. And that's how I passed genetics with an A doing blue book essay.
9:41
He was like, I've never heard of such wow talk. I can
9:48
write my way out of any situation. I feel like, well, hey,
9:56
you gotta make it do what it do. I'm a firm believer in
9:58
that. So love of my life, doctor Gia Black. Yes, I
10:11
feel sorry for I really do. Why Why is life so hard for Jia?
10:20
Life is? Life has always been hard for Jia. Her and her
10:26
brother. They lost their father at an early age, then they lost their
10:31
mom, and Jia just it's the younger of the two siblings, but always
10:37
felt like she had to step in and be the protector. And so with
10:43
all of that loss was trauma for her, and she felt like she always
10:48
had to overcompensate, and she never wanted to get too close to anybody because
10:54
they could leave you. And her brother gets killed and all of this is
10:58
going on. But she pass this love for her brother's best friend like a
11:05
crush, and he's not studying her. I excuse my countriness. I grew
11:09
up amongst country. But he not giving her a second thought for those of
11:18
y'all who don't know what's stutton me, you know. So eventually they get
11:24
together, but then he becomes the prime suspect in her brother's murder, but
11:31
he didn't do it. And so they get together and it doesn't work out,
11:35
and so this book looks at a theme of second chances. So then
11:39
another opportunity comes around for them to have this loving relationship. Well, now
11:48
they're older, and you know what happens when you're older in relationships, You
11:52
bring stuff with you. And so she got stuff with her. She's got
12:00
this boyfriend that she's with that she doesn't want to be with, but he's
12:03
holding all of these secrets over her head. She's holding secrets over his head.
12:09
Now, mind you, she's a psychiatrist. You think she kind of
12:13
had her mentor together. But the thing that she's fearing that's going to happen,
12:18
which is what taboo her boyfriend is holding over her head, does happen.
12:26
And then when she's face with it, it's like, well, what
12:28
you're gonna do. You're gonna fight her, You're gonna run, And she
12:31
decides to fight. So what happened? You can't just it happened. What
12:37
happened? Let me see what happened. It happens, and she she has
12:46
to decide. I remember my mom. She passed two years ago, but
12:50
I remember my mom. I used to go through these chaotic relationships, and
12:54
I would tell my mama, and my mama would say, I ain't gonna
12:58
say nothing. I mean, like what you I'm not gonna say no,
13:00
you gotta say something, gotta give me some advice. And my mama would
13:03
just tell me, you will know when you've had enough, and when you
13:09
had enough, then that's when you gonna move and do what you got to
13:13
do. And I can't tell you when enough is enough or what enough is
13:22
man Gia. When she realized she had enough, it was it was on
13:26
the popping and Infinity was there to help her through it. Yeah, Infinity
13:31
is the best friend, correct, the best friend and the love of her
13:35
life. Yep, I know what you does. Someone die in a car
13:45
accident. It gets real close. I did this. It gets real yes,
13:56
because now somebody dies in a car accident. It started it is a
14:01
church no no, but she goes through. It's not your typical car accident.
14:15
I'll say, because I don't want to give it away if you haven't
14:18
really read it. But this thing should have took her out. It really
14:22
should have. Now it's coming back to me. It really should have taken
14:28
her out. But she lives through it. But the recovery. You know,
14:33
I always used to think sometimes when certain things happen, oh, it's
14:39
really great that someone so survived. And I'm not saying in her case,
14:45
it's not like that. Yeah. Sometimes when you survive some of this tragic
14:50
stuff, you got the mental to deal with, you got the physical to
14:54
deal with. And her life is turned upside. She can never go back
14:58
to life as it was. Yes, yes, yes, so is this
15:03
based on true life? Some of some of it is based on reality.
15:11
And I will tell you the part. Oh man, well, I would
15:16
have to get some of this away. When she recovers in the hospital after
15:22
all of this traumatic experience, she realizes that she's she's gone partially deaf,
15:31
and she has to deal with Hey, I used to could do such and
15:37
such and such, and so she has to deal with that. And so
15:41
that is that part. I wasn't in a traumatic or abusive relationship, but
15:50
one after battling the illness that the doctors did not know what it was,
15:56
couldn't pinpoint it. Tried to make me think I was crazy. And this
15:58
is one thing I tell people. You definitely have to advocate for yourself and
16:03
speak up for your health care. If you don't, nobody will. And
16:07
some of these doctors, I don't care what race they are, so it's
16:11
not a race thing. But some of these male doctors will talk to you,
16:17
especially females, like you have no clue. So I woke up one
16:23
morning, brush you off, yeah, and minimize what you're going through because
16:29
they kept saying, oh, you just got a sinus infection. Because I
16:32
woke up one morning and I had total no hearing in my right ear at
16:36
all, and they were like, oh, you just got a sinus infection.
16:40
I said, I know what a sinus infection is. I know what
16:44
an upper respiratory is. I taught biology in chemistry. I know what that
16:48
is. That's not this. They were giving me steroids. I said,
16:52
get me off these steroids, fly blow up because they're not helping me.
16:57
They were giving me all kinds of medications that wasn't helping. And this went
17:03
on for six to eight weeks before they finally got me in to see a
17:10
hearing specialist who said, you have no hearing in your right ear at all.
17:18
Now when it happened, how it happened, I don't know, but
17:19
it was one of the most traumatic things to wake up to one day where
17:25
you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, I cannot hear,
17:29
and people just kept rushing me off, like but I'm like, no,
17:33
who lies about that? And so having to make that adjustment, you know,
17:40
having lived decades with hearing, and make that adjustment to only being one
17:45
side they call it single sided hearing, was an adjustment. And so this
17:49
is what Jia has to go through in the book. You know, what
17:53
are you gonna do? Like, cause there were days where I was like,
17:56
I'm just gonna stay at home. I'm just gonna pull it covers way
18:00
up here. I'm just gonna be in the bed. The self pity party,
18:06
yep, we all have been to several of them. Yeah, And
18:10
my mama said, I remember, Ma, Mama told me. She said,
18:14
when you get none feeling bad, when you get none feeling sorry for
18:21
yourself, what are you gonna do? I said, huh. My mama
18:27
was real deal, and she's like, what are you gonna do? She
18:32
said, Hey, you're too young to be in the bed all day long.
18:36
You can't do that. So what you're gonna do? And not so
18:40
a dan My daughter told me, you are a champion and somebody needs you
18:48
to show up for them today. So she said, you remember that every
18:52
day you get up, somebody's counting on you to show up for them.
18:57
You are a champion, and someone is counting on you to show up today.
19:03
I tell your daughter, you go girl. And this is what she
19:08
told me seven years ago when she was twelve years old. So I tell
19:15
people, be careful how you raise is yes, yes, yes, yes,
19:22
I know about that one. I got one of those run around here
19:26
now to You just might need them to show up and be there for you
19:30
one day, So be careful what you put into them and how you raise
19:34
them. All right, Well, we are going to take a break real

22:03
bad about God, y'all, but I did, y'all to hear me out.
22:07
I don't know what God was thinking when he made the MS. He
22:11
just mixed a little bit of everything together and came out with this beautiful disaster
22:18
and that voice is amazing. The boys. Lord, forgive me for all
22:26
the thoughts that I just had in my mind. But he is such a
22:30
beautiful disaster. And people said, oh, no, you're talking bad.
22:34
I said, no, no, no, no, no. Catch that
22:37
first word, beautiful disaster. And the disaster was the addiction to drugs.
22:42
But even though this man had addiction to jarardits, you know who, God
22:47
was, yes, and he always put them first. So that was that
22:52
was crazy, crazy crazy for me. So Infinity. Let's say let's say
23:03

23:17

23:33
Lenny Kravitz. Lenny Kravis for Taboo. Oh you said Taboo. I thought
23:42
we were talking infinity Infinity. I was thinking, yeah, no, mh
23:49
well, okay, if I had to pick a man, if I had
23:53
to pick a man, I had to pick a man infinity. Ron Johnson.
24:03
I mean, he's not an artist, but the character of Ron Johnson
24:07
in a different world means sense. Yeah, Infinity is a cool guy.
24:15
He really is. He really is. Yeah, I'm gonna give him props.
24:23
He you know, he's all Yeah, that's that's what's sticking out to
24:30
me. Like you got his flaws. We all got our flaws if we
24:37
really be truthful about it. Taboos. Flaws are just like boom boom boom
24:41
in your face, you know. Yeah, many of these ones you have
24:45
to Like, I felt like you were pulling back layers and yeah I finally
24:48
saw them. Yeah, yeah, Infinity come with some stuff. He you
24:53
know, he got some stuff. He'll have to answer the guy too,
24:59
for well, we all do. But taboo, that stuff is just right
25:03
there, like you see it, like you see it, take it or
25:07
leave it? What you're gonna do about it? Yeah? So what do
25:10
you say to authors who are where you are? And what can you say
25:17
to them to encourage authors? I say, listen, go ahead and write
25:23
that book. Stop talking about it and do it. That book is not
25:27
gonna write itself. Go ahead and do it. It's not gonna be perfect
25:33
when it hits the pages. We know that. That's why you got people
25:36
call editors. They gonna clean that up. Write the book. So,
25:41
do you have a certain editor that you work with who knows your work or
25:45
do you use different editors. When I was first, when I first started
25:52
out, I had I did have a variety of editors, and there were
25:57
some editors that I would go to like, oh, this is gonna be
26:02
funny. Like one of my coworkers was an English teacher, and so she
26:07
edited my second novel. Well she was, She's a Caucasian English teacher.
26:17
And when she got done editing my work, I'm like, no, like
26:23
this one part she she put a question mark in the margin, so in
26:29
what's the so in? So I was just learning. That's when I realized
26:34
you have to kind of vet people out and see, like for me to
26:41
explain what a so in? I can't do it. No, we're gonna
26:44
stop right here. I can't do it. You know, you can clean
26:51
up my grammar where I went wrong. But so you got to know what
26:56
editor to use and who's good for what you know, certain colloquialisms we had.
27:00
I just like, nah, I can't do this because this is too
27:03
much work right here. But she was intrigued by Sovie like and that's that's
27:11
why I ask, you know, when it comes to editors, some people
27:15
want to go with somebody brand new a lot of the times. And I
27:18
kind of understand, because you want a fresh perspective. Okay, but what
27:23
about that person who knows your work and knows what you're capable of and read
27:30
this and be like, you know, you know good and well, it
27:32
don't sound like you. So I'm gonna need you to take that out.
27:34
So that's what I'm like. It's a juggle. So, and I work
27:38
with a literary mentor. Her name is Dominique L. Watson. I will
27:44
not write anything without her. The only thing I wrote without her literary mentoring
27:52
me was the book that I wrote with my ex. And the disclaimant is
27:56
on the front of the book. They're raw, uncut stories, typical hood
28:00
story. So you already know what you're getting. Uh, what's title that
28:06
one? It's typical hood stories. And I gave my ex top billing on
28:14
that. His name is Iven Merrick and its on the on the front.
28:18
It's wrong and uncut, so you already know what you're getting. I don't
28:25
need nobody clutching pearls. Nothing. I told you. I appreciate I appreciate
28:30
that that type of book. Yeah, but that's the only one I deal
28:38
without a uh, without Dominique being my literary mentor. But I love working
28:44
with her because she knows my ability and she'll say, now, come on,
28:48
what is this? You're just trying to feel Paige? Just what we're
28:52
doing here? That and that's great. You have that person you can trust
28:56
and you can go too. Is there any part of your writing career where
29:03
you felt like I got time for this, let me go back to teaching.
29:10
And how did you overcome that? Now you said, was there any
29:14
time of my writing career that you felt like I'm just over this, I
29:19
don't want to write no more. I'm gonna go back to teaching. How
29:22
did you overcome that? Well, I stopped teaching two years ago. So
29:27
no, there's never been that. Let me tell you, I love getting
29:33
up when I want to get up. I love me and my own boss.
29:36
I work. I got a couple of different businesses that I work.
29:40
I love it. So there's never been a day where I said I'm going
29:42
back in there with little Ray Ray You Now, nah, I think at
29:48
that day comes somebody probably gonna be checking me in somewhere. But there was
29:53
a book where I said, you know what, I'm not doing this,
29:57
and that was my book Crazy Faith, this and anthology. It just was
30:04
not happening how I wanted it to happen, and it was getting released at
30:11
the time where I lost my hearing as well. So I'm like, okay,
30:15
crazy Faith, God, what we're doing here? Because he gave me
30:19
the assignment. I'm like, what we're doing here? Because this, I
30:22
mean, crazy faith is radical faith. I'm like, God, I got
30:26
must to see faith right now. I got a tank right now, I'm
30:33
not seeing it. And writing is my gift. I know that is my
30:37
gift from God and God and I got a sense of humor, so I'm
30:41
not being disrespectful in any way. Trust me. And then told God what
30:45
I wasn't gonna never do. So many times I said, God, I
30:47
ain't never having enough kids. He was like, I got your number two.
30:51
I said, I ain't never gonna be teaching nobody bad kids. He
30:55
said, I got your number twenty years in the game. I said,
30:57
God, I ain't never getting here. I got your number. I blessed
31:00
you with two husbands. You know, after a while, I had to
31:08
say God, please the same for me, because stop talking back every time.
31:17
A Crazy Faith was one of those, and I was like, I
31:19
ain't doing this and I talked God. I said, I ain't write no
31:22
more. I'm just done. He said, if you don't write the book,
31:26
somebody else will. I said, okay, they won't write that one,
31:30
all right. I got up off my you know, crime pity party,
31:37
and he's blessed me to write several books after Crazy Faith, but that
31:41
was one that I was just like, oh, I'm not feeling this.
31:47
And Crazy has a journal that goes with it as well, so I see.
31:55
And we spoke about this new book you got coming out, so both
32:00
before we leave, you're gonna have to tell us about the Diva's Assessment Tool.
32:06
Okay, so I will. So in two thousand and nine, I
32:10
brought out this book and it won't look like this, but it's wait a
32:15
minute, Why am I the Diva's Dating Assessment Tool? In two thousand and
32:21
nine, I brought it out because I was teaching high school and these girls
32:28
they were dating these guys and everything, and this one girl, I felt
32:31
so bad for her. She got pregnant by this guy and I don't even
32:36
know his name, but you know, every one of these little kids got
32:39
some little street name, and she all she knew him by was his street
32:44
name. I'm like, honey, what what you say now? And she
32:49
was like, I'm telling you miss Bradley and whatever his street name was.
32:52
Because it's been so long ago, I can't remember. I'm like, how
32:54
you don't know his real name? Baby? Like what is driver's license?
33:00
She's like, I don't know if he got a license. I've never seen
33:02
her. Then I heard another girl. She had went out with this guy,
33:07
and she was telling her little friend girl. She was like, yeah,
33:10
two thousand and nine now, so you gotta rewind back to that.
33:14
She was like, yeah, you know, I gave him some I said
33:15
someone because I mean, you ain't talking to me, but you see loud
33:19
enough for me to hear he supersizes my meal. And I gave him somewhat.
33:23
Baby, what you give him some advice because you can't be what I'm
33:29
thinking. And I kept hearing stuff like this, and I said, ooh,
33:35
because he supersizes the meal. I said, huh. I said nah.
33:40
I said, there's got to be a manual or something to help with
33:46
the dayton because you not, you're not giving nothing up for an extra lunch
33:53
sprite. I mean, no, that's not what we're doing. I know
33:55
that's not what I heard. And so I know fifty got that song twenty
34:01
one questions. This is a lot more than twenty one questions. But there
34:06
are certain things that you need to know before you because I think, well,
34:14
I'm almost sure females we wired a little bit different than guys. So
34:20
sometimes the line between love and lust is a little it's a little thin.
34:25
And so before you get over too far in it, like and you just
34:32
banan us, But oh boy, let's get some knowledge first, because some
34:37
of this stuff you find out, you find out at inopportune times, and
34:43
then your feelings and your emotions and all of that is raveled up and you
34:46
can't think right. So before you get to that point, let's get some
34:52
knowledge, like what are some of your non negotiables, Like what's a no
34:55
no? You know, what could homeboy absolutely say you're doing? You'd be
35:00
like, but you know, sometimes certain stuff get good and then you not
35:07
think it straight. So before it go too far. And so now this
35:13
was two thousand and nine. I brought this book out and I hadn't done
35:15
much with it lately. Matter of fact, I think I took it off
35:19
for Amazon, and so now here in twenty twenty four, I got people
35:24
asking me, hey, what's up with the devas dating assessment to a wizard,
35:29
I'm like, I pulled it. They're like, no, twenty twenty
35:32
four dating, it's just as crazy as two thousand and nine. It's even
35:37
worse. I said, stop playing on me. Yes, I'm been in
35:39
the Dayton Arena for a while. I been minding my business. But every
35:45
now and then I go outside and I'm like, honey, you did you
35:50
didn't say that what this is what we're doing in twenty twenty four? No,
35:57
have you heard the music of twenty twenty four? Okay? And some
36:04
of these guys, I'm like one guy he had to tell me. He
36:06
said, you know I'm flirting with you? Right? I said, oh
36:08
no, I had no clue because that right there what you was doing and
36:14
moved me at all. You couldn't have been. I just thought we was
36:20
having an innocent conversation. You wouldn't have been flirting with me. Uh uh?
36:25
You so you you didn't even recognize that he was. He said,
36:30
you know I'm flirting. I said, you were? I said, is
36:36
that what we're doing in twenty four I'll be staying my tail inside all day
36:40
long. So when will we be able to get this DIVA assessment to I
36:47
am hoping by the end of the month that it will be available. Yes,
36:53
And I tell you my last relationship was dang, that's crazy, maybe
37:02
a whole year and a half ago. And I just I've been very happy,
37:09
very happy, so low because I'm looking at what I'm seeing and I'm
37:14
like, I can't and I don't know if it's just me, but no,
37:22
it's not just you, and I'm not it is not just I'm not
37:27
in low budget, low class places. But I'm just like, what happened
37:34
to the me? You know, I don't know? I'm not me?
37:38
And let me let me take that back before they try to run, oh,
37:43
before they drag me. I have some guys. I have somebody coming
37:46
on next week. He's gonna ask that question, like where where? Where?
37:52
I know where they at because I have to tell this one Patrice.
37:55
I said, Look, and I'm not a whiner or a complainer, but
38:00

38:05
