  Speaker 1: here and share with someone else that MA can help
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: get them through what they may be going through. So
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: tell us about that journey.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Well, it started out when I was six years old.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to explore things.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: So I started slipping out the house at six, stood
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: on the porch and just looked out, and I wanted
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to know things. And I lived in what they call
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: a red zone is where you know, drugs and.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Alcohol and everything was.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Prevalent, and so at six, I would always come back
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: in after wandering around the streets. And in my day,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: they wouldn't mess with children or nothing like that. So
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: when I turned thirteen, I made a decision. I thought
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I was grown, So I left the streets and went
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: to the corner and became a lady of the night.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: What people call now is probably prostitution.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: So some guy picked me up on the corner and
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: my life began doing things that when I look at
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: thirteen year olds now that they wouldn't have done. So
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I became selling drugs. He would abuse me. He was
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: married too. He would abuse me and allowed me to
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: do things for money. But you know, and I started
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: doing in my day. It was a drug called microdot,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: So I took that and I used to drink like
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: it was water. And I did that until you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and they would used to call me a gang banger.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I used to carry guns, carried assault off shotgun, carried weapons.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: And one night, when I was twenty four years old,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: last my father, could I come back home? You know?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: He they had when.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I was thirteen, I still went to school and the
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: teachers didn't, you know, the way I was dressed, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: you know, they were brought me clothes to change in.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: So it was something about that educational life. And my
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: motto now is the only way out is to get education.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: So what happened was when I was twenty four years old,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: as my father could I come back home? And he
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: said yes, And I was on that same porch looking
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: out and I said to myself, you know, I want
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to know who made the heavens and the stars and
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: the skies. I don't want anybody to tell me about
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: this creator or this maker.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: So I went on.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: And I left home again, and about three o'clock in
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the morning, I asked the same question.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I said, I want to know who made the sun
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: and the moon. And I was.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Hungry, I said, and I walked around the neighborhood. You
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: know they in my day they played cards and spades,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: so they had after our houses. So I went there
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: and so as I was coming out, and I said,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I want I'm hungry. I want the person that made
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the stars in the moon to feed me. So there
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: were vending machines outside, you know where the stores and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: So I stood in front of the machine because I
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: was hungry, and all of a sudden the machine made
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: noise and it went complex And if I had money,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I would have bought what fel. And that changed my
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: direction that there is a god because he proved himself.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: And like I said, if I had money, I would
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: have bought what fel. And that started my journey. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I had to have counseling. I had to say, you
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: know because and the counselor said to me one day,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: she said, do you always want to live like this?
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Do you always want to live a rough life? And
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I said to myself no, And then what happened was
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I went to a private school. I went to a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Catholic school because the nun I used to sit in
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the back of the church and they felt I guess
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: they felt sorry for me, but they allowed me to
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: come to school. I went to a private school and
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: they sent me to college. And then later I went
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: on and decided to major in counseling because the counselor said,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: do you want to live this life? I always listen
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: to encouragement, but later in life, I said it was
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: divine destiny. My whole life was the guy that had
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: me out on the streets. He killed a woman right
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: after me, and when he got out, that's when I
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: started getting the counseling. I know what I'm telling is
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: all chopped up, but it's all you know together, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: know how the pieces come together.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I took after they. After the nuns sent me to college,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: I went on myself to take myself to college and
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I got a master's in education, guidance and counseling. And
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: then later in life I went on and got my
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: master I mean a doctorate in counseling, and so now
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: what I do is I've been around the world teaching women.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I did one on one with women, you know, just
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: telling them that there's a way out.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: And my motto is the only way out is to
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: get educated.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: So I had to drive to teach them how to
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: get free from all the drugs and alcohol.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And I do that to this day. And as I
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: was going around.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: The world, somebody recommend, you know, nominated me. I've won
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: several awards. I want Archery Award. I'm known as the
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: one hundred Women to Know in America. I'm in Who's Who, Marcus,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Who's Who?
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I'm in.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I went to West Salem State and that's in North
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Carolina and I'm in Who's Who there. Like I said,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I'm known as the one hundred women to Know in America.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I am own two organizations, Tamar Community Outreach and Projects.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Mouthed the domestic violence and all this them from the
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: fact that I had a hard life and I wanted
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: to really help somebody. And so every Monday I do
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: counseling to help women move forward in their lives. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I don't work for the prison system, but I do
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: it as a service to God. Women that are coming
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: out of prison, I try to help them change their
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: lives that they don't have to live the way they lived.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: And it's you know, I had no idea that what
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I went through was going to help somebody else. So
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: but a lot of people have said that when I
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: speak or spoke to them, it really resonated with them.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: And basically that's it. That's all.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: It's all wrapped up in like choppy message, you know
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: about my life. But I went through hell.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: And I lived.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: God allowed me to live to tell it, you know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: So I try to encourage church, encourage women that when
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: they go through stuff, they got something valuable that the
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: enemy was trying to take from them. But they have
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: to refocus and recharge and reset and seek God, you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: because the creator of the heavens and the moon and
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: the stars and all, he's the only one that can.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: If he created all this, he can definitely do change
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: your life. And that's my books. I have four books
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: out there, and I teld a little bit about my
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: life and how it changed.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: They can change their life.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: And that's about it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and my community. I live in New York
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: and what they did. Was I won an award for
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: community service four years in a row for speaking to
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: women about changing their life. You know that they are
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: here for a purpose.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm laughing because if people could have been on
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the wall as we was having conversations leading up to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: this interview, you know every single thing that you have said.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: You asked if I had questions, I said, you know what,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna jot down some questions just in case the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: God that we serve. Let me tell you the God
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: that we serve. See, I was from the bypass this,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but he took me back to it. So the first
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: question was can you share a defining moment in your
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: life that set you on this path of service and empowerment?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: MM? Well, I think they will.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: The main thing was when he fed me and I
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: had no money three o'clock in the morning, and that
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: was the finding moment that he's real and right now
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: if you knew, he opens up doors like I met
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: you know you, Queen Angela, we on a divine destiny.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: I don't look at life anymore. I look at every
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: time I meet somebody. God's got a purpose for my
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: life and their life together.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: So that's the fine.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Moment, and that's what I That's what I tell people
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: all the time. You know, we often say when when
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: when people walk away from us or get upset with us,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: then we want to say that people used us. But
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: when we're working unto the Lord, we can't be used
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: because we're doing what God is instructing us to do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You know, he he will never put you in a
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: place where you can't use your gifts and talents. You know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: maybe that had to be the way that it had
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to go so that they can get to where He
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: needed them to go. Because you know, everything ain't always permanent.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Some things are temporary. He said that, just like there's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: four seasons, and in the natural there's four seasons in
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the spirit too. Yes, yes, there's four seasons in the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: spirit too. So we have to understand that everybody's not permanent.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But we got to utilize and take advantage of the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: opportunity in the space as it comes. Because if we
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: are in tune and if we are connected to Him,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: He's gonna leave God and direct us through the Holy Spirit.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: We got to be willing to listen and be obedient.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it don't feel right, sometimes it don't look right.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it don't even sound right, but we gotta understand
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that if he nudges, we gotta go. He said, draw,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: not unto when we draw onto him, he's gonna draw
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: onto us. Yes, like when I tell you this, these
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: questions already aligned with everything that you said. So the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: second question was listen, now, God always in the midst
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: listen what personal experience inspired you to fund Tamar Community
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Outreach and projects Mile Domestic violence?
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Very funny because Tamar, because I read about her life
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: and I was thinking her father was king and he
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: did nothing she had to He did nothing about her life.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, she her own brother raped her. So I said,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: you know what, you know, I was looking at my life.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I said, somebody's got to speak up. So that's how
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Tamar Community Outreach came out, and so I could reach
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: out to the community and Project Smiles because when I
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: was beat up, I helped women that been beat up to.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: You know, my organization has always, you know, helped rescue
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of women. I thought about, well, my teeth
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: was knocked out, so I figured that, you know, I
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: didn't want to smile or anything like that. So what
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I did, well, not me, God hooked somebody else a
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: doctor up and what they did was the women that
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: for women so far that needed help with their teeth,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: he did write off. He took them in because of
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: the organization, the Tamark I mean Tamark Comedian outreach and
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: projects mouth domestic value so you can bring them back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: They smile, and he lined up other doctors and there's
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: a I want to mention Tracy. She knew the doctor
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: and she you know, God brings people in your life
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: to set things up. And I want to say something
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: about seasons. Seasons change. And I did a teaching last semester,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: but you know, teaching at the church, and we taught
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: on seasons. It's a season that we go through and
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: they definitely gonna change. Look at the natural seasons, and
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I did. I looked at that. I focused on that,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: and that's why I said, Okay, so this season is
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: changing and I have to do I have to do
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: something in this next season. You know, I don't know
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: why I feel like I'm skipping around, but I wanted
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: to let somebody know that. You know, people think that
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: finance has come supernaturally. Also, I wanted to bring that
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: up because I didn't know I was discriminated against. I
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: really didn't. And I did some work for the school
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: system and lawyer said I was discriminated against. And I
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: said I was discriminated against. I'm gonna show you how
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: God has set you up when you said, well, you
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: trust God.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Okay. So the case went through.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: And I got half of a million dollars to prod
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: to so I can do Project Smile and Tamar community outreach,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: so I can really help these women would get their
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: teeth fixed and stuff like that, and those women that
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: need a place to hide. I say, Hi, but God
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: will finance your business.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: And when he told me I was discriminated, I said
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I was discriminating. I was in shock. And then when
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: you when I had to trust this lawyer with my
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: bank account, I had to trust who he is never
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: seen the guy. I just trusted God, because God will
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: finance your projects.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: You just have to believe that.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: And so when this's he says, well, what's your bank account?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, my God, I hope it's not spam.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: And so God, I prayed about it and I gave
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: him my bank account. And when I saw that half
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: a million dollars in my bank account, I said, God,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: you are helping me, help women move forward. I said,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: it's just and I'm able to you know, I was
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: able to travel around the world and the able rescue women,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: women to talk with their eyes and they can't speak,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: but they talk with the eyes that.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: They were in danger, you know. And it's a journey.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, all I can say is, if you're working
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: for God, you're gonna be okay.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: H definitely, definitely. I tell you when I tell you,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: he's always on time, because somebody needs to hear that tonight.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: We we think that what we went through, we went
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: through it by ourselves and nobody else experienced because when
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you're in a dark place, it's like you don't see
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the light, that there's no end to the tunnel. But
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I thank God for you. I thank you for your
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: obedience and connecting because I'm sure you scroll past a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: thousand pages, but he led you to to that one
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and we were able to connect. And I tell you,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: it's truly been an honor to be able to share
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you with those that support the communities that we that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: we all frequent. Yeah, I'll tell you, I truly love
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to collaborate and it gives me honor to be able to,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you know, share the gifts and talents that that that
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: God gave us. You know he knew, he said that
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: they did, it would work together for our good, right, Yes,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: he knew everything. We often and treada she's one of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the hosts over him on the network. She often say that,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you know, she don't like to hear when people say
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that God will not put more on you than you
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: can bear, because he already knows what we're gonna go
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: through anyway, He say, hey, I already know, So why
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: do we say that when he already knows? And when
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: she said that, it has it got me to think,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I say? You know what why you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: think he gave us gifts and talents. He gave us
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: gifts and talents that when we go through these things,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: we got something that can help us get through it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of us write books. You say, you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: got four books. You wrote those books? Why? Because you
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: had something that somebody needed to hear. M So He's
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: given us an ability to share that we have endured.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: You know, it didn't come to hurt us. It came
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to be a character. It came to mold us into
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: that daughter that he already was gonna be Jeremih twenty
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: nine and eleven ain't gonna return to him void, he said.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He declared that he had a plan for us, and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: it was not to bring us home, but it was
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: for us to have hope in the future. Hope in
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the future.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, he's a good God. Once we really believe him,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: trust him. You know, it's it's you just got to surrender.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know when you look at you can't
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: look at the negative.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: You gotta say.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: God's got something in this plan, you know, divine dest
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I always say it's divine destiny.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: And it's not over.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know what that somebody might be listening tonight,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: and we just pray that whatever you might be going through,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: that God will rescue you.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: He will set you free.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: And you just have to keep believing it. Because when
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: I was being beat up, I was like, I want
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: more God, I want more life more. It's more to
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: this than just getting beat up. There's a way out.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: That's why I always say the only way out is
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: to educate. We got to educate yourself that there's a
• 24:55
