So that's why I want Well. I am Latanya Michelle a little john
5:25
Um. I am the host of Delay, but not Denied. And I'm
5:30

5:40
So yeah, that's basically me. I'm I'm a writer and a podcaster.
5:45
Wow, so we want to talk about these books. I want, I
5:47
want to hear about these books. UM. How many books do you have
5:51
about Latanya? Um? Right now, one that I've done on my own
5:58
and about five that I've done. Um as far as anthologies though, so
6:05
if you would please tell us a little bit about the one that you did
6:10
by yourself. Okay, again, that's UM titled Delay but Not Denied the
6:15
Story of Tory. I wrote this book, UM, I want to say
6:24
in the twenty twenty twenty fourteen. UM, but I didn't get it published
6:29
until twenty eighteen. I procrastinate really bad. And UM, I just I
6:36
wrote this book, UM because I was adopted. I was born with a
6:44
disability. UM, I was a teenage mom. I got married in my
6:51
early twenties and so I UM, I wrote this book to share my story.
7:00
And okay, well, when I was born, I was born Tory
7:06
Michelle Kennedy. UM. I was born with spina bifida and hydrocephilis. UM.
7:15
The spina bifida is the curvature of the spine. Hydrocephalus is water on
7:19
the brain. UM. I was born to a teenage mom UM and she
7:28
already had another child, um My my older brother. UM. Being that
7:32
I was born with a disability and she was disabled, she had scoliosis and
7:38
some other things going on, she placed me up for adoption. So UM
7:44
I went into foster care. UM that caused PTSD for me. UM I
7:50
was abused in the foster care system. Then I got adopted at seventeen months
7:58
old. UM And so yeah, my journey, My journey started actually in
8:05
nineteen eighty one when I got adopted. UM. I've had some issues with
8:11
not being accepted for being adopted. UM. My grandparents were older, so
8:18
they believed in having your own children. So my paternal side of the family
8:22
they didn't. Well, my grandmother, she didn't really care much for me.
8:26
UM. My maternal grandmother loved me as her own. UM And so
8:33
UM I grew up not feeling like I belonged anywhere. UM. I went
8:39
through stages of not knowing who I was. UM just it was just a
8:48
lot. UM. I got pregnant at fifteen after being told because of my
8:54
condition that I never have children. Um. And in with this condition,
8:58
I was told that I wouldn't make it past nine years old. I turned
9:01
forty four in January. So you know, um, God has the final
9:07
say over my life. I had my son. I was told not to
9:11
have my son. You know, you're a kid. You don't need to
9:13
raise a kid. My son is twenty eight now and he's he's awesome.
9:20
He he's a supervisor at a Verizon store. He just does so much videoography,
9:28
photography, He does family pictures, weddings, whatever you know needed he
9:35
does. But back to my book, I was looking for my biological family.
9:43
UM. I always asked my mom if I was adopted, and they
9:46
told me no. And I remember being adopted, and I couldn't shake what
9:52
I was feeling. So I started digging and digging, and one day I
9:58
discovered a letter and my mom's dresser drawer that was supposed to be mailed to
10:03
my biological mom to let her know how my surgery went. So they had
10:11
the right idea wrong address. And I found this letter and I kept it.
10:16
I wrote to this letter and because of zoning street zoning, the street
10:20
no longer existed, and so I got on Facebook in two thousand and eight
10:28
and played around, and you know, I told my husband my my my
10:31
prayer has been that God would allow me to meet my mom before she passed
10:39
away or before I passed away. And so in twenty ten, March third,
10:45
twenty ten, I found my biological mom. I found my aunts on
10:50
Facebook, and you know, I shared the pictures with my my husband.
10:54
I'm like, I looked like these women, and you know, he's like,
10:58
you know, he didn't want me to get my hopes up high,
11:01
so he's like, no, I don't think you look like them. I
11:03
said, well, I'm about to inbox them and see, you know,
11:07
tell them a little bit of my story to see if any you know,
11:11
if anything rings a bell to them. And so I reached out to my
11:16
aunt and she inboxed me later that night, and she was like, I
11:20
think you may be my sister's daughter. And so, you know, I'm
11:26
like, okay, cool. And so she told me, she was like,
11:30
your mom's you know, my sister's in the hospital. So I have
11:35
to break this to her easy because you know she's going through some things.
11:39
And I'm like, okay, cool. So the next day, my brother
11:43
called me and he was in Afghanistan at the time. Hearing his voice for
11:48
the first time to me was like hearing your first love once you you know,
11:56
when you fall in love and you get that first call, and that's
12:00
what it felt like to me. My brother was like, um, you
12:03
know, he told me who he was and where he was, and you
12:07
know, we set up a meeting to meet once he got home from Afghanistan,
12:13
and later that year I went to go meet my mom face to face.
12:20
I cannot put into words what that felt like to meet her, um,
12:28
face to face, but I'm glad it happened. Um. This is
12:31
a picture. I don't know if you can rong way, if you can
12:37
see, this is the day that I met my mom for the first time.
12:41
And I put pictures in my book to help tell my story. Um
12:46
again, I found her in two thousand and ten. We were getting to
12:50
know each other, m spending time. I spent the whole summer with her.
12:54
One year and twenty fourteen, she took ill and February twenty second of
13:03
twenty fourteen she passed away. I was there with her when she passed away.
13:11
They moved her to hospice. I didn't at that particular time, I
13:15
didn't even know what hospice was. All I know that is when we got
13:20
there. The stillness, the piece of it all was scary to me because
13:26
you know, in hospitals it's not always quiet. There, there's noise and
13:31
there's movement, and with this, it was just so quiet and still.
13:37
And I noticed that they wasn't beating her, and so I'm like, you
13:41
know, why is my mom not getting anything to eat? Granted she wasn't
13:46
talking, she wasn't moving. I'm like, at least give her something through
13:48
an IV or something. And so a chaplain explained to me that she was
13:54
in the end of life stage, and so you know, he was like,
14:00
I feel like she's ready to go, but I feel like you're keeping
14:03
her here. And so my mind is like, Okay, this man don't
14:09
know my mama and he don't know me, so I'm not taking nothing he
14:11
got to say. I called my husband and I told him. I said,
14:15
I think I'm gonna stay another night because the chaplain said that my you
14:20
know, my mom trying to leave and I'm keeping her here. And I
14:24
was like, you know, I don't None of it made sense to me,
14:28
and so as I'm saying this to him my aunt and the chaplain is
14:33
walking up the hall approaching me really slowly. And I told my husband,
14:39
I said, my mom's gone, and she she did pass away that that
14:46
night. So, yeah, my book is about all of that, being
14:52
a teenage mom, being bullied in school. I got bullied because of the
14:58
way I walked. People would spine a bit of them in some cases,
15:03
in most instances with the degree of it that I have, or in wheelchairs
15:09
or have crutches or you know, something to assist them. I don't have
15:13
any of that. I walked, pigeon tooled, bow leg, you know.
15:20
And I'm fortunate enough. At that time, I didn't understand my body
15:26
and why, you know, why God made me the way that he is,
15:30
you know the way he made me. But as I've gotten older,
15:33
I've come to understand that my stories for somebody else. I wrote that book
15:41
to help somebody else that may be going through finding your biological family, having
15:50
a child at a young age, getting married young. I was twenty three
15:54
years old when I got married. Me and my husband just celebrated twenty one
15:58
years marriage. So I wrote I put it all in a book. Yeah,
16:03
I was gonna ask you, what is your overall message to the people
16:07
that pick up that book? What do you want them to take away from
16:11
that book? What I would like to see them to take away from the
16:15
book is what I always say, even on my podcast. You may be
16:18
delayed, but God will never deny you. What's meant for you will find
16:23
you. It may be slow, but if it's meant to happen, it'll
16:30
happen no matter what it is. If you want to start the business,
16:33
start the business, you want to write the book, write the book.
16:38
The only person that can stop you is you. Right. Wow, amazing
16:44
story, amazing story. And how can they get your book? My book
16:49
is delayed, but not denied, The story of Tory. I'm going the
16:55
wrong way. Okay, there it is. It is on Amazon. If
17:00
you can't remember the title, just type in my name Latania Little John and
17:04
it pops up. It's a book. It's an e book. Um so
17:11
um right now. I've dropped the price down so and I made it affordable
17:18
for anybody that wants to read it. All right, So do you have
17:22
any projects that you're working on currently? Um, I'm revamping my book because
17:30
as life goes on, the story goes on. Um, so I have
17:36
taken this book and added to it. Um, I'm gonna change the cover.
17:41
There's gonna be more added to the inside. Um. So yeah,
17:48
Um, that's basically it. I mean this, this book for me is
17:53
my lifeline. It tells my story from the point of birth until now and
18:02
so um and as life keeps going there there's always gonna be more. So
18:08
I don't know, you know what lies ahead if I'll revamp it again,
18:14
but um, as of right now, UM, that's my baby, and
18:18
that that's what I'm building on. Look, I tell people, you gotta
18:22
you gotta ask some old to it. You gotta, Um, you need
18:25
to do another book. Yeah, it needs to be another book. Yeah,
18:30
I've heard that. Another book, Yes, ma'am, I've heard that.
18:34
I've gotten that quite a lot. That should be another book. Forever,
18:38
it should be another book. Yeah. So apostle sitting over there in
18:44
the cut, so tell us what this author journey has been like for you
18:52
since we are in the author's lounge. Well, it gives me an opportunity
18:59
to talk about everything because God has allowed me to be in different avenues.
19:06
You know, as an educator, I was able to write about some books
19:11
that I have, you know, different vessels. I have taught in the
19:15
classroom. So that's how I got my two children books. I also been
19:21
a preacher, pastor teacher and all that stuff. I have Bible books out
19:26
too, and so my first book was about my mom, and so we'll
19:33
talk about her. And so I have five published books that I have published
19:38
on my own, and then I have three anthologies that I am part of.
19:44
One of the anthologies, I am the Visionary. I didn't know when
19:51
I did that one. That's when I realized how hard it was to give
19:56
people to time stuff in right. I was like almost like really, I
20:07
was like, come on, y'all, now I you have to do I'm
20:08
just asking a simple question. One I'm simple. It was like, if
20:15
you want me to do this, you want to do this? And I'm
20:17
like, I'm sitting there like I don't have a few people, I said,
20:21
the other people who got about more than six? Why, I bless
20:26
you all, God bless you all, bag and and and and I said,
20:37
who. So yeah, I have that out and we have a reference
20:42
book. The reference book is not out yet because I really want to.
20:47
I really want this book to really go far, not just Amazon. I
20:51
wanted to go far, so I'm taking my time with the reference book.
20:55
But I'm telling you those who who anthologies love y'all because they I don't know
21:03
I'm gonna do this again, so I don't get somebody else to take over
21:06
because I'm money. Now you hearing it, well, it can't be.
21:14
But I tell you, having timelines and having deadlines and having procedures in place
21:19
will alleviate a lot of that. And that's what I have to do on
21:22
my projects. You know. I try to make sure that I keep things
21:26
separated. People ask why I have so many emails. I have email.
21:30
I have so many emails because I have a lot of projects that I do,
21:34
have a lot of different things, so certain stuff need to go to
21:37
certain places so I can keep up with it. So when I do certain
21:41
anathologies or whatever, like the magazine magazine is the magazine email, you know,
21:45
you have to like set up the different things and then you do your
21:52
a deadline and make sure that you're sticking to the deadlines. And if people
21:56
don't follow through with the deadlines, and sometimes you have to omit them.
22:00
Unless when I turned on the process along this journey because UM, I think
22:06
the most that I've had in a project UM was sixty one UM so far.
22:11
But well, no, it was more than that because we had the
22:15
sixty one that contributed them. It was eighty two. And that was the
22:21
last book that we did UM, the Prey Book. We actually had eighty
22:23
two people a part of the prep book because we had sixty one people that
22:27
submitted three hundred and sixty five affirmations, and then we had twenty one people
22:33
that actually wrote the content part where we wrote about the power of prayer and
22:41
shared our journey with the one hundred and twenty one Days of Prayer. So
22:45
yeah, and it could be rough because I've had projects where, you know,
22:51
people have waited to the deadline and then they didn't make it, and
22:59
they've been i'm gonna turn it in tomorrow, I'm gonna turn it in,
23:00
i'm gonna get it to you over the weekend. I'm gonna working on over
23:03
the weekend, and then Monday or Tuesday I come when it's dude, and
23:07
then they'll say, well, I'm gonna have to back out. I'm gonna
23:08
have to wait to the next project. Huh. Thank you for the donation.
23:14
Right, the non funderable, non refundable donation. I don't understand like
23:22
we and with me and and everybody that followed me a part of anything that
23:26
I know. They know that my projects are not expensive. Um they are.
23:30
I make them. Um, I priced them so that people can be
23:34
a part. My whole objective is not to to um, pay no college
23:41
fund, to pay no no car notes, to pay no house notes.
23:45
My my objective is to be able to be an outlet for people to be
23:51
able to share whatever it's pressing them, whatever it's bothering them. Like right
23:56
right now we are doing I am looking for So if you're out there and
24:00
you are a poet, we are looking for poets to be a part of
24:04
our poetry book. And you just come and you just share two poemts.
24:12
So I get all these people to come together so that they can share what's
24:18
pressing them. So everybody may not be everybody may not want to do a
24:22
whole book by themselves, So I give them the opportunity to, you know,
24:27
just share a chapter or whatever ever. That that's the importance of doing
24:33
an anthology, not trying to the payoff cars and pay college funds and buy
24:38
houses and then taking people money. That's that's not that's not why I do
24:44
it, um, And I thank you guys for sharing your voice, system
24:49
your books and becoming an author. I want you to think about what was
24:56
the hardest part, because I heard you say you was a procrastic procrast nata
25:00
latagia and it took you almost what four years to get that book out?
25:04
Like, really, I want to know what was the hardest thing for you?
25:10
What was taking you so long to h the book out? What was
25:12
pressing? What was you scared of relive in my story? Oh? I
25:18
mean just having to think about all of all of everything that I've gone through,
25:23
good, bad, ugly and indifferent and just having to write that down
25:30
and look at it and see it for what it is. It was it
25:36
became too much for me. And then some of it was just pure laziness.
25:40
But now that you have this book out, how do you feel?
25:45
How do you feel? I feel liberated? Um, This this book for
25:52
me has um It's my truth. But in the same in the same breath,
25:59
UM, a lot of things that was in the book people would have
26:03
rather I not said, and I understand that, but you know, again,
26:08
it's my truth. And my story to tell. It happened to me,
26:11
So I'm gonna tell it. And you know, um, I was.
26:21
I come from a family, my my biological family. I have three
26:26
brothers and a sister and because of this book, none of them talk to
26:30
me. Um. It took me from maybe two thousand and nineteen two now
26:42
to be okay with it. Um. I used to feel a type of
26:48
way, like, you know, it's my story. It happened to me.
26:52
Why are you mad? You know if you feel some type of way
26:56
writer rebuttal, dude, I mean you know there there there's ways of communication
27:02
that didn't flow within my family. And I'm okay with it. Um,
27:07
God told me, I'm fine, you know, you know, write your
27:10
story, write the vision, make it plain. I did that and so
27:14
UM, you know I do. I feel liberated. My my story was
27:19
told. Um. This book has gone places that my feet may never make
27:26
it to. And I'm humble. Um this book. There's a lady in
27:32
Nigeria right now that has my book. I don't know this lady's from,
27:36
you know, from the next person, but she saw my book. Um.
27:40
I don't know if she heard about it or you know, but she
27:44
found my book. She bought my book, and you know, I'm like
27:51
Nigeria really but you know, nobody can determine how far you can go,
27:59
but you nobody can slow you down. M It all starts and stops with
28:06
self. I mean, it's good to have that push from other people,
28:11
but if your mind and heart isn't set on getting it done, then it
28:17
won't get done. And so you gotta get out of your own way.
28:19
And if writing the book is is what you're supposed to do, write the
28:23
book, get it done, get it published, get it out there,
28:26
and get your your your story shared. So Apostle, what has this writing
28:37
journey then like for you? And why was it important for you to be
28:41
an author? Well? I wasn't really thinking about writing to somebody said,
28:49
you're always writing everywhere you go. You have a notebook and a pencil.
28:53
Okay, and listen, well, why don't you write about what? Don't
28:59
you write a book? I said about what? Though? And they said,
29:03
but what's you write a book about your mom? Since you one who
29:06
raised your siblings? I said, okay, so let me write this book.
29:10
Didn't know it was I was going to discover domestic violence, like because
29:15
as a child when you grow up, you really it becomes the norm,
29:21
and said, it's said to say that because but then when you look back
29:26
and said, no, this is not normal. You know, it's not
29:30
normal to watch your mom get beat but black ass and busted lips and bruises
29:34
all over my b that's not normal. But when when you don't talk about
29:40
it, it's the norm. And then when I started writing a book,
29:42
I was like, wow, that's not normal, you know. So,
29:48
but it was good to get this book out. And and sometimes said the
29:55
news they read it, and one of them said, well, one part
30:00
is not right. I said, well, I'm going by what my mother
30:03
told me. Wherever my mama told me, I put that in the book.
30:07
You know, if she told me a lot or where it is a
30:10
lie. But what I saw in my ass, I saw the black ass,
30:17
I saw these bruises. I saw my dad and my mom fight I
30:22
did. I saw my answer. There's nothing. You can't take that away
30:26
from me. Because all the time we was homeless, and she would run
30:33
take us, run here and run there. We was always running running here,
30:37
running there, running there for safety. That was my journey. So
30:42
you can't take that away from me. And I just think that I had
30:47
an opportunity to write this book so that the next generation. I'm trying to
30:52
help somebody. And I always tell people, God give us red flags.
30:56
Rather we want to accept the red flags, not before we get married.
31:02
God already show you who the person is, that they are angry issues or
31:07
they're no nor wherever's called pronounce it? Yeah, yeah, who what you
31:15
just said? You know? Yeah? Yeah, y'all Dad, y'all got
31:26
y'all know what I'm trying to say. Um so, but God will show
31:30
you these people and one thing about women, and I have to sit and
31:33
I tell women this one thing about women. We think we can change everybody.
31:40
Oh, I'm just gonna be nice and sweet and I'm gonna do this,
31:44
and I want to do that. And he's gonna love on me.
31:47
He gonna just treat me right, Okay, So you're just going to ignore
31:52
that he just slap you and you flew across the floor. Okay, but
31:56
he I'm gonna be now the next time. The next time, you might
32:00
not see a next time. So I always tell people, pay attention to
32:04
the red flags, quit accepting anything, and quit settling. Sometimes we just
32:09
settledn't think, and I went through a stage where I didn't think I deserved
32:15
better, And a lot of women think they don't deserve better, so they
32:20
take anything. You gotta be careful because, honey, I've seen some people.
32:27
I have met a lot of women who have never got married. He
32:29
said, I would rather be single than to be married and be beaten,
32:34
mistreated top down and treated like nothing. If you're in a relationship and you
32:45
have to walk on eggshells, Ron, especially if you're not married. Ron.
32:50
And people said, oh my goodness, you're a preacher. You tell
32:54
people to leave. Honey. I don't care if you're married ten, fifteen,
32:58
fifty years, Honey in a duci relationship. Run and I said it
33:02
on and don't look back. Don't you run forrest, Run and don't right.
33:12
Yeah, So that's the one of the issues that I talked about my
33:16
book because my mother grew up in an era where it didn't matter if you
33:21
got beat you you do not get a divorce. There was no no compromise,
33:25
nothing, You stay in it. And a lot of women are six
33:29
feet under now because yeah, yeah, I'm telling you to run. I'm
33:36
telling you to run, forrest. Run because I back a survivor nine years
33:43
survivor, shot point blank range with a south out shotgun. I'm telling you
33:45
to run, forrest, run and don't look back, because if you look
33:50
back, you're gonna turn to the brain of South. So keep on running.
