Fibroids that precipitated my 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: million dollar baby journey. Fourteen years battling fibroids, ten years 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: of infertility, this fifteen surgeries altogether, five IVF cycles. What 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know was that every time I was pumping 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: my body with the hormones, it was causing the fibroids 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: to grow again. Finally, after the fifth IVF cycle, I 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: conceive and at twenty one weeks, the doctor says, missus Thompson, 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: the baby isn't growing the way it should. This is 13 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: ten years in and he said you might want to 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: consider terminating the pregnancy. And I said. 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: Why. 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: He says, because your womb is going to become a 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: hostile environment. I said, sir, I believe in miracles. I'm 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: not giving up on this way. At thirty weeks, the 19 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: doctor says to me, I just want to apologize. We 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: weren't trying to scare you.

But anyway, 175 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: so we started becoming friends because I needed to connect 176 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: someone the person he was working with for somebody who 177 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: needed an event. And but then I started learning that 178 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: he was reading the people I was reading, like Miles Monroe. 179 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: Like oh, first of all, that was like, oh you 180 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: for real. 181 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: For real? 182 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: Like you ain't like I'm just going to church Christian 183 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: You reading Miles Monroe.

Yes, So then what happened 189 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: is I was in church one day and the service 190 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: was around the teaching was around who are the people 191 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: that you trust? Right? And I remember at that time 192 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: the only man that I could say that I trusted 193 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: that was single was him. Oh wow. And and guess 194 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: what the Lord said, hmmm, you know what I mean. 195 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: It was like, he's the only single man. 196 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 6: It is so interested that I can trust. 197 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: And that's when things that, well, he's a good man. 198 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 6: He's a good man, Savannah. 199 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 200 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do, I do. 201 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 9: I do know what you meant? 202 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 5: I know, you need to be updated. 203 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 6: We got you. We were friends. We were friends, but 204 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 6: I trusted him, Yeah, yeah, I. 205 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 4: Was for a year in like four months, and then 206 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 4: that's when things started shifting. And actually last at the 207 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 4: time that this up sold to probably drop it might 208 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: be on the anniversary because it was March that eighteenth 209 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 4: was when we went on our first date. 210 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 5: Wow, you know. 211 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: And that's after being France for a year and four month, 212 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: and so that's what happened, and we were just patonic friends. 213 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 4: And then around February. In the February, I was like, 214 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 4: I got to see if there's more to this. Yeah, 215 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 4: you know, I want to take you on the date 216 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 4: and yeah, and schedule a date to go fly out 217 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: to la and take her out on March eighteenth. 218 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: And see, the thing is you had that that foundation 219 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: exactly that you know what, I wasn't trying to the 220 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Other thing is he was initially he was dating somebody, 221 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: so I felt like he wasn't trying to get with Yeah. 222 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is real friendship. Yeah, you 223 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: know exactly, And that's really what laid the groundwork. And 224 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: then God just you know, it was like, yeah. 225 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 3: So was it like a moment or what was that? Like, 226 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 3: how did God speak to you? 227 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: It was definitely not. It was a journey. And I 228 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: think that everybody's different. Like he'll tell me he told me. 229 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: I was walking out of the car and the Lord 230 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: was like, that's the one. I was like, okay, I 231 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: didn't know that. He didn't tell me at the moment. 232 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: Thank God. I've been like side okay, well, because you know, 233 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people who do that. And he's 234 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: not the kind of person who just says God told me, right, 235 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: because he feels like a lot of people manipulate people 236 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: that way, right, And he's gonna say, you know what, 237 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: out of my wisdom and everything that I have to 238 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: make a good decision. This is what I'm recommending, and 239 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: this is what I see. Now. If the Lord says something, 240 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: I'll say it. So you know, if he says that, 241 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: it is very rare very because people be handed it out, like. 242 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 5: Would you still look at him? 243 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: Well, but I didn't know that about him then, like 244 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: that that that developed, that knowing that about him that 245 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: developed all the time. I mean, but it's like because initially, 246 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: again it wasn't like he wasn't walked in. It was 247 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: like Denzel, like that's him, you know what I mean. 248 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: It was like, oh, we're friends. Yeah, because that so 249 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: that was the thing. And we had gotten talking about 250 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: how well a real relationship that has the ability to 251 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: sustained a longevity is friendship with attraction. That's the way 252 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: we defined it. But I never saw him as a 253 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: friendship with attraction. I was like, your friend, you're in 254 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: a friend zone. And then my sister was like, you 255 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: talk about him a lot, you show you all like, nah, 256 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: we're just good friends. He got I felt safe, you 257 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: got a girlfriend. 258 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 4: I'm good. 259 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: And I had had previous relationship with this guy. He 260 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: would go to church with me, just because he was 261 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: trying to be around me. I was like, I had 262 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: made this vow to God. I was like, Lord, I 263 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: don't want nobody who's not chasing after you. I had 264 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: just made this vow, right, that's good, And I didn't, 265 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: And it was very distinctive. Not somebody goes to church, 266 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: not somebody who dons the title Christian, somebody who is 267 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: hungering after you and hungering to be like Christ to 268 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: row into the character, right, because that's two different things. Yeah, 269 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: absolutely two different things. 270 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: And co how old were you during this time thinking 271 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 4: like that? 272 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: Twenty Let's see, so I met him. I was in 273 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: ninety four, Okay, we got married. I was twenty six, 274 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: so it's like twenty two years old. Twenty one. 275 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 4: You were saying you wanted somebody that was chasing after God. 276 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: But I was very passionate about the Lord myself, and 277 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: I knew at that point. I just knew that, you 278 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: know what life is. My life is found in Him, 279 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: and I know I want somebody who who loves Him 280 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: like I do. 281 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 5: Were you raising church? 282 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? I was raised in church. But also I've found 283 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people who raised in church. That don't 284 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: mean nothing right. Yeah, it's important to understand that. I 285 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing my mother really showed me a 286 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: relationship with God house not just my mom and my family. 287 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: God was a part of the family. He was a 288 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: member of the family. He was the one holding us 289 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: all together. And that's what made it different for me. 290 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't just about religion. It really was about relationship. 291 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: So you always desired marriage, even at a young age. 292 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't think anybody's ever asked 293 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: me that. I think eventually, Yes, I wasn't one of 294 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: those I can't wait to go down the aisle, you know. 295 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: But I know I wanted a god kind of life, 296 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: and for me, I knew eventually that meant, you know, marriage, 297 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: and eventually I wanted to have kids. But I was 298 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: not the typical. 299 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 4: Ye you wasn't that you see yourself like I'm gonna 300 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: be married by twenty five, I'm gonna be married by thirty. 301 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 4: You never put goals. You was just like, when it happens, 302 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 4: it happens. I know I want the fullness of God 303 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: and that may until being married and having kids or whatnot. 304 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 5: But were you just more career focused? 305 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: I actually was? I I went to school for music business. 306 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: So doctor Miles really shaped our lives because when I 307 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: read on, you know, it was purpose driven life, not 308 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: purpose riven, that's not psal. It was in pursuit of 309 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: purpose and on becoming oh, potential potential. Why now you 310 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: are You're not feeling real bad right now? You're looking 311 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: down in heaven right now? Look at I'm sorry, dad, 312 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: what is the book? I had? Brain surgery? Full full stop. 313 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: I've had an aneurysm and brain surgery. Sometimes I can't 314 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: remember things cause somebody google that title for me, doctor, 315 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: they'll put it in a comment. Okay, So Understanding your Potential, 316 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: thank you, Holy Spirit. Understanding your Potential was the book 317 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: that changed my life. Okay. So I read Understanding Your 318 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: Potential and he talked about how we are not born 319 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: by accident, we're born for a purpose, Like it was strategic. 320 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: There was a reason, there was a need God had 321 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: in the earth, and he literally put you here to 322 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: solve that. 323 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 5: Amen. 324 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: And that blew my mind. I was in high school 325 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: trying to think about what I was going to do 326 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: in like, what I was going to do for a living, 327 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do with my life. Where I 328 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: was going to go to college, and the Lord really 329 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: just started me thinking about what is my purpose? Right? 330 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: And I counted a blessing right that I started that. 331 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: He said what's the thing that you would do for free? Right? 332 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: And I said, okay, well, I love ministry, I love God, right, 333 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: and I said I love music right. And I was like, 334 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: but I'm not a singer like I did worship, you 335 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: know in church.

I am working at a top PR 361 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: agency at this time, okay, and I'm also building my 362 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: own talent management firm on the side, and that's where 363 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 1: Candice was working with me. Now I start dealing with 364 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: infertility issues because I'm not conceiving for six months. Went 365 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: to the gyn and the doctors like, oh, you have 366 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: the word that changed my life, vibroids, And I was like, 367 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: what what is this? What is that? Benign tumors that 368 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: occur in and around the uterus that cause everything from 369 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: heavy bleeding to infertility to life threatening anemia that can 370 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: cause a heart attack to you know, just severe pain 371 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: and terrible periods. And at that time that was my 372 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: only symptom, was the issue with fertility. But that precipitated 373 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: my what I call million dollar baby journey. Right here, 374 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: I was million dollars, million dollar baby journey. Easy. Easy. 375 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: Here I am at the double wards hemorrhaging being rushed 376 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: to the hospital, right like, this is the kind of life. 377 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: I was at the devil Wards. 378 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. 379 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: And my journey was fourteen years battling fibroids, ten years 380 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: of infertility. From that five surgeries for fibroids. Is fifteen 381 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: surgeries altogether, right, five for fibroids, five for complications from 382 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: the fibroids surgeries. Right, So I'll give you an example 383 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: what that means. Second fibroid surgery, they cut me open 384 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: and and stem to stern because it was so bad. 385 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't even walk the pain was so bad, and 386 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: he said it was one of the worst cases of 387 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: firebirds he'd ever seen. Ten days later, they have to 388 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: open me back up because I can't hold water, food, 389 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: anything down. And what had happened is I developed something 390 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: called a small bale obstruction, which is it means that 391 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: the scar tissue. You know what your body has to 392 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: form scar tissue to heel is very natural. It can 393 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: form something called adhesions, which is the sticky, sticky bands 394 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: right that now wrapped around my small intestines where now 395 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: they were knotted up. Oka, vomiting, can't keep water down, 396 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: can't even digest my own body fluids. So they have 397 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: to put this tube up my nose, down into my 398 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: stomach to just pump out all of my body fluids 399 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: to try to let it heal. Didn't heal, so they 400 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: have to cut me back open to cut out almost 401 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: two feet of small intestine. Now you're born with twenty 402 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: to twenty five, right, that's the first time they cut 403 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,719 Speaker 1: me every This is a thirty years old. This is 404 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: at this point thirty four. At this point I was 405 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: let me see because this is the second surgeries. I 406 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: was thirty six at this time. Okay, first surgery seemed 407 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: no complications, but I didn't get pregnant. Okay, okay, five 408 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: years later, six years later they came back. So two 409 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: thousand and six, now I'm having another surgery for five words. Now, 410 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: the symptoms were really bad. That's when I couldn't walk 411 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: like the pain was shooting up my entire body, and 412 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: they said, okay, the firebirds are back because she remember 413 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: she said, oh, you should conceive. No problem. I didn't conceive. 414 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: But you know, you're thirty, you're young. You're thinking like 415 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: it'll happen. Yeah, I have a little time, right, it'll happen. 416 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,479 Speaker 1: But the firebirds are back, and now I'm having a 417 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: secondary surgery twenty plus days combined in the hospital. The 418 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: recovery was brutal, brutal. Together, it's been over one hundred 419 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: and twenty days from all the surgeries because that continued 420 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: to happen because between I did five IVF cycles Chit 421 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: Chin chu chin. Because they didn't cover it. Then there's 422 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: more coverage now they weren't covering it right. So what 423 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: I didn't know was that every time I was doing 424 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: the pumping my body with the hormones, it was causing 425 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: the five boards to grow again. So I'm either having 426 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: a five woorid surgery or I'm doing IVF right, and 427 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: every time we do another five word surgery, wait, wait, wait, 428 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: they're cutting more. 429 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 6: I want to pause there. 430 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: So the because I've I've frozen my eggs twice, which 431 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: is great, fantastic, goy. 432 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 6: Thank you. 433 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: And if you have not frozen your eggs and you 434 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: want to conceive and it's later in your life, please 435 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: freeze your eggs. That was a PSA. 436 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 3: But you mentioned what you're pumping your body with, So 437 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: there's a lot of you know, hormones that you're pumping 438 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 3: your body with in order to you. 439 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: Know, go stimular process development. 440 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 6: So walk that back. Explain that. 441 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 3: So I'm pumping my body, so you're telling me freeze 442 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 3: my eggs, but I'm pumping my body with hormones that 443 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: are going to stimulate my fibroids. 444 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it does. So it's because hormonal balance is one 445 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: of the root issues, right, So at that point it's 446 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: like it's a cost connected to it because you want 447 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: to freeze your fertility as soon as you can, right, right. 448 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: So the other thing that's really critical at which I 449 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: did not know, Well, let me finish that part of 450 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: the story first and I'll come back. So I've had 451 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: now every time, I love it. Every time the fib 452 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: words came back, they did another search. 453 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 5: Right. 454 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: So finally, at after the fifth IVF cycle, I conceive. 455 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: Right now, we had a miscarriage. The first time I 456 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: forgot that part which was devastating. That was the first 457 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: IVF cycle. But you're like, you're young, you'll be fine. 458 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: You know, fifth IVF cycle. I can see fifth one. 459 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 4: And put this in perspective. How much does IVF COSSA. 460 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: Oh, fifteen to thirty thousand, yeah, easy, yeah, And it 461 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: was really out of pocket then. 462 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 3: And I know in California, at least at the place 463 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 3: I was going to in the Valley, I think it's 464 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 3: like thirty thousand. 465 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 6: Yeah. 466 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: Well, I think now they give you more than just 467 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: one sometimes, okay, like two out of three or something 468 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: like that. Okay, there's development. I remember this is happening 469 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eight for me, right, So 470 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: twenty one weeks we I'm not twenty weeks and we 471 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: conceived after the fifth IVF cycle, and we're developing. The 472 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: pregnancy is going well. I go to the doctor and 473 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: at twenty one weeks they're like you hear them kind 474 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: of whispering. The doctor and the tech are whispering. And 475 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: you know when the doctor's whispers never anything. They said, 476 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: missus Thompson, we need to speak to you in the office. 477 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: When you come to the office. When I tell you, 478 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: I'll never forget that moment, sitting across from that doctor, 479 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: and my husband was out of town because he was 480 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: on his first like. He had just become a CFO 481 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: one of GE's businesses. He was in Corporate America for 482 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: thirty years and in Schenectady. And the doctor says, Missus Thompson. 483 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 1: He said, the baby isn't growing the way it should 484 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: and you might want to consider terminating the pregnancy. Now, 485 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: this is ten years in, this is ten years in okay. 486 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: And he said you might want to consider terminating the pregnancy. 487 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: And I said why. He says, because your womb is 488 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: going to become a hostile environment for this baby because 489 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: the fibroids. I had just had another surgery less than 490 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: six months before that, I had a myameectomy. But they 491 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: were growing and taking the life supply away from the baby, right. 492 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: So he said, so, plus you have kidney issues, this 493 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: is going to become dangerous for you and the baby. 494 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: So he said, you might want to consider terminating the pregnancy. 495 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: And I said, excuse me, I said, sir, He said, doctor, 496 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: I believe in miracles and I'm not giving up on 497 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: this baby. And he said okay. He said, I've been 498 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: doing this long enough to know that science doesn't have 499 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: all the answers. Just buckle up and go along for 500 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: the ride. They gave us the hormones for the steroids 501 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: for the baby's lungs because what was happening is is 502 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: called absence of blood flow, like where there's blood flow 503 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: that's supposed to go there with gaps in the blood 504 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: flow to the baby.

He said, doctor, 528 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: he says, don't laugh.

I started my own holistic health company called 666 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: detox now and really started focusing on what's in out 667 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: what first of all, what's driving these things? 668 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 7: Yeah? 669 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: Right? And then I learned that the same things driving 670 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: these things are driving inflammatory health issues like high blood pressure, 671 00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 1: like diabetes, like cancer, because they're core to us as 672 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: people period, right in terms of the inflammatory health issues 673 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: that we deal with. And I was like, Okay, well 674 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: wait a minute, why are we finding this out? Yeah? 675 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 1: Why aren't we knowing this? And that really is what 676 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: for me? It just it became a mantra that we 677 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: have to put the the cavalryes not coming. Do we 678 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: have to put the power that's getting our hands? 679 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? 680 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: Right. And when I learned that you battle fibroids, I 681 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: was like, I got to talk to her. 682 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 3: I do, And so I kind of wanted to ask, 683 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 3: as you know, someone who is dealing with fibroids currently, 684 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 3: what are the things you said, there's so much that 685 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 3: we don't know. And I'm sure you've got a book 686 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 3: or two or three on all of the things we 687 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 3: should know, but at a high level, absolutely, what are 688 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 3: some of the key things that we should be aware of? 689 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,399 Speaker 6: And in tune two? 690 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. So I did write a book called n 691 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: Fibroid's manual and guide. Okay, it's at my website, but 692 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: the company is detox Now on the website the Detox Now. 693 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 6: So we got to go get the book. 694 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 1: Yes, But the key thing is when people think around 695 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: five broids, that if I have surgery, because really the 696 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: surgery and temporary drugs are the only real treatment options 697 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: that they offer, right outside of don't bother them. If 698 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: they don't bother you, don't let one person tell you 699 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: don't bother them. If they don't bother you, find another doctor. 700 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 1: That's just not going to serve you because they will eventually. 701 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: Waiting till they bother you is not a strategy. Okay, 702 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: So it's like an oncoming train. I'm like, oh, I'm 703 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: gonna wait till it hits me. No, Right, So the 704 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: four key drivers that have been really identified by research, 705 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: because there's so many papers on this now are course, 706 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: stress is like stress is a key driver of all 707 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: illness period. Right. It's called if you look at the 708 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: word disease, disease, break in peace, it's in the break 709 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 1: in the peace. Right, It's the root of really all illness, right, 710 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: because it starts the whole chronic inflammation in your body. 711 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: It disrupts your hormones, right, and it causes your body 712 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: to start to fight itself. Right. So as people of 713 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: color were disproportionately affected by that, as black women even 714 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: more right, whow because the trauma of racism, the trauma 715 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: of misogyny, right, it is literally embedded in the life 716 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: that we have to we have to fight twice as hard. 717 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: Just look at just whether it's just being a woman 718 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: or being a person of color period, right, So think 719 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: about it, even if it's not you're not dealing with 720 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,280 Speaker 1: it on a micro level in your own direct life. 721 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: You're dealing with it on a macro level. Right. Microaggressions, 722 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: the fact that people look at you just because of 723 00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: your skin color, right, the news, you see what's happening 724 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: all the time. So it's just just a reality. It's 725 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: the landscape of how we the context of our lives. 726 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 7: Right. 727 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: So because of that, we have to be even more 728 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: intentional about reducing our stressors and not allowing those things 729 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 1: that are toxic unnecessarily in our lives. Right. So stress, 730 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: but the things that we can so we can help 731 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: reduce our stressors. Right. But people will say, well, stress, 732 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: it's just like it's a lot. There are things you 733 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: can do to help with stress. But then also here's 734 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:35,280 Speaker 1: one that's very preventable. Vitamin D deficiency. Right, huge vitamin 735 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: D deficiency is actually significant for men and women, but 736 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: it disproportionately affects people of color because our melanin it 737 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: actually blocks the absorption of the sun. Now, our melanin 738 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: protects us from so much, but in that it actually 739 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: causes a The way that your body absorbs and creates 740 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: the vitamin DE hormone is that your body creates a 741 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: photosynthesis process where it absorbs the light from the sun 742 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: the UVB rays and it develops and creates the vitamin 743 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: D hormone. Now, vitamin D has a critical role in 744 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 1: what strengthening your immune system, strengthen your bones, reducing chronic inflammation, 745 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: balancing your hormones all right, as well as protecting your 746 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: cardiovascular health. Five key functions. 747 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,760 Speaker 10: Functions, okay, which can easily be fixed by just making 748 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 10: sure your vitamin D is not just and that's a 749 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 10: whole other thing, not just what I call. 750 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: I call it. You know, they say it's normal at thirty, right, 751 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: but it's actually the high range is thirty to one hundred. 752 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: So it's actually what therapeutic levels is around sixty to eighty. 753 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,919 Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that because I just got prescribed 754 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 3: like medical vitamin D that the doctor actually gaves. 755 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,359 Speaker 1: How many I use? 756 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 2: Is it? 757 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 3: Uh? Oh, I don't remember that. I just went through 758 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 3: the whole thing that once a week or is it 759 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 3: it was once a week? Right, So it doesn't have 760 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 3: K two in it. So got the other thing. Okay, 761 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 3: So D three and this is not just for her, 762 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 3: it's for you and her. D three has to be 763 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 3: taken with K two right, because D three helps your 764 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 3: body absorb calcium because remember it, strength is your bones. 765 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 1: You've learned that all your life. D Vitamin D milk, 766 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: it's strong bones. But it doesn't tell you that K 767 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 1: two is what actually directs that calcium to your bones 768 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: so that it doesn't stick in your arteries and cause 769 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 1: that hardened plaque right where it can damage your cardiovascular 770 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: health as well as calcify those fibroids right, so that 771 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: the calcium doesn't affect your tissues. So it's like the 772 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: traffic director, right, So we don't want struggle bus D 773 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: three most are and I promise you somebody who tells 774 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 1: you your D three is normal number one.

I remember that that's ambicient. 777 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 3: I know, I know that's. 778 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: You want to be between sixty. That's called therapeutic levels. 779 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: Therapeutic levels means that's the level which there are. D 780 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 1: three actually plays an active role in your healing. Okay, okay, 781 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: So there's been studies that show how D three therapy 782 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: has been used to actually help fight the fibroids, to 783 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: help prevent them, to have help to shrink them again. 784 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 1: But remember it's connected to those five six six six 785 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 1: health functions, right, So how easy is it to fix? 786 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: Just take the D three plus K two daily. But 787 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: we're so miseducation. 788 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 4: So you said the daily one versus by her getting 789 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:50,760 Speaker 4: the weekly. 790 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: Well, she's about to get mine, which is daily and 791 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: with the K two.

Sunlight, it's 835 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: not really in a food source. It's really, you know, 836 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 1: through the sun that is number one. But guess what, 837 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: it's not just any sun. It's not, Oh the sun 838 00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: is out, let me go get D three, No, it 839 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: is the sun has to be. When the sun's altitude 840 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,800 Speaker 1: is above fifty that's when the sun is emitting something 841 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: called UVB rays. Okay. UVB rays are not the temperature, 842 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: the altitude, like the positioning of the sun. 843 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 4: So when is the zene at the round noon? 844 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 1: Right, So, but depending on where you are living, you 845 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,399 Speaker 1: don't even get UVB raysed all year round. Right right 846 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: here in Dallas you get them more because you're closer 847 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: to the equator. Typically the closer you are to the equator, 848 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 1: the more UVB rays are available during the day. 849 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 4: That's why a lot of people down in South America 850 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 4: and all that, they probably don't deal with a lot 851 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 4: of stuff we deal with her. 852 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 1: But guess what they most a lot have the opportunity 853 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,720 Speaker 1: not to. But I have clients who live in very 854 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: high temperature and UVB areas, but where they usually the 855 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: between ten and two o'clock where most people work. Yeah, 856 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: so because they're at work, they're not basket. And the 857 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: more melanated as you are, the longer you have to 858 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,839 Speaker 1: be in the sun for the melano sites to be activated. 859 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,840 Speaker 1: So this is why, if you are a person of color, 860 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: you better be taken D three plus K two every day. 861 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,400 Speaker 1: That's good, whether it's to maintain it, because that's the 862 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,239 Speaker 1: other thing. I have a client she had gotten up 863 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,879 Speaker 1: to ninety. She was like, oh, Jessie, I'm doing great. 864 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 1: Her doctor told her, you're good now, you don't need 865 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 1: to take it anymore. She didn't tell me. 866 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 4: I told her that about taking it, so she was like. 867 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: Oh, you're good, you don't need anymore. Three months later 868 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 1: she's at a thirty five. That fast drug go bust. 869 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 5: Three months later. 870 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 1: Three months later. 871 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 4: Wow, So she was taking twenty five hundred a day 872 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 4: she was. 873 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 1: Taken on at that point, she was taking thinking she 874 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,799 Speaker 1: was taking about seventy five hundred a day, so I. 875 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,319 Speaker 4: Used I'm talking about before that to get to ninety, No. 876 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 1: To get to ninety she was taking about seventy five 877 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,800 Speaker 1: hundred to ten thousand. But you want to take between 878 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: five and ten thousand a day, yes, to get it 879 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: up there. The one she's they prescribed to her is 880 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: about fifty or three already three thousand for once a week, 881 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,280 Speaker 1: so it's about five thousand a day, right. 882 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 6: Okay, right, so that makes sense. 883 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, So what you want to do take between five 884 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,359 Speaker 1: and ten depending on how deficient you are and how 885 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: symptomatic you are. If you're trying to reverse your symptoms, 886 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: you want to get high in healthy asap. You're not 887 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: trying to take your time. 888 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,280 Speaker 5: Take your time. Yeah. 889 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 1: I always say it's like going to war with no 890 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 1: ammunition in your gun. Your body doesn't have the reserve 891 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: to actually and guess what it affects. Also, menopause, there 892 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 1: are women who are dealing with severe menopause symptoms, perimenopause 893 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,799 Speaker 1: symptoms because of their D three deficient deficiency. 894 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 3: But we do need to get outside, absolutely right, So 895 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 3: we need to go outside. 896 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: Just because of fresh air. Yeah, we need to go 897 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,239 Speaker 1: outside for exercise, all of those things. But actual D 898 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: three therapy, yep, we need to be doing that. On 899 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 1: the need to do so, it was stress D three deficiency. 900 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 1: And guess what. I the reason I always say D 901 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 1: three is so important is also it's connected to the 902 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 1: chronic inflammation and the hormonal balance, which are the other two. 903 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: Because D three helps balance your hormones and reduce chronic inflammation. 904 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 1: So in and of itself, it helps to do that, 905 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 1: and it's connected to reducing your stressors. It's connected to 906 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: mental health, brain health. I forgot that. That's another one, 907 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 1: brain health, that's right, right, So if you don't do 908 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 1: nothing else, that show D three plus K two right, 909 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 1: because it affects so much health period. And that is 910 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:42,359 Speaker 1: why the statistic is seventy five percent of Americans are 911 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 1: D three deficient. Wow, seventy three seventy five So that's 912 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 1: all ethnicities, yes, yes, and you see what white people 913 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: people are Caucasian friends, they don't have to take as much, 914 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,040 Speaker 1: they don't have to stay in the sun as much, 915 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 1: but they suffer from is what we suffer from more 916 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,839 Speaker 1: because the exposure it takes a lot more and we 917 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 1: have the melanin that's blocking it. Now. Chronic inflammation is 918 00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: something and hormone balance are the other two. So stress, 919 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,879 Speaker 1: vitamin D deficiency, chronic inflammation, and hormone balance. Let's talk 920 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: about hormonone balance real quick. Eighty percent of the products 921 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: that are marketed to black women are toxic. They are 922 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:35,280 Speaker 1: contaminated with ingredients that actually lead to hormone disruption, reproductive damage, 923 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: and carcinogens. Right, So you're talking about beauty products, you're 924 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:48,360 Speaker 1: talking about lotions, and you know, the home care products, 925 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 1: all of those things. So it's legal to poison us 926 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: in these United States, so we have to use like 927 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 1: very freebie.

She was trying to they were trying to 1050 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 1: conceived for ten years. Battle fireb words really bad. Her 1051 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 1: name is Rachelle. Battlefirebords really really bad, to the point 1052 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,720 Speaker 1: where she was on birth control for many years. And 1053 00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 1: birth control actually just masks the symptoms, but it pumps 1054 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,440 Speaker 1: your body with synthetic hormone that fuel in the background. 1055 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 1: You may be feeling like, oh, the doctor put me 1056 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: on it to regulate my hormones. But all it does 1057 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: is mask the symptoms while it's wreaking havoc in the background. 1058 00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:47,320 Speaker 1: And it's also connected to blood clots embolisms. 1059 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 4: And so I've always said that, and here I am 1060 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 4: as a male. I kept saying that even with my daughter, 1061 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,600 Speaker 4: when you know her mother put on birth control when 1062 00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 4: she was younger.

She decided to do the Balancer kit 1150 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 1: and in six weeks she did another scam that documented 1151 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 1: that her fibroid had shrunk from nine point one centimeters 1152 01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: to four centimeters and within a month they conceived and 1153 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:17,200 Speaker 1: they just had their baby literally flew on Friday. 1154 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 2: The baby that's okay, wow, glory wow. 1155 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 1: And that so again, you know, and this is this 1156 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 1: is just on the fibrous side. We've had people reverse 1157 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 1: high blood pressure and you know, just deal with regulating 1158 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 1: their cholesterol, chronic pain, Like they're people who wake up 1159 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 1: in pain every day and they're like, I'm not supposed 1160 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,360 Speaker 1: to live like this. And when you reset your body, 1161 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 1: because that is an indication that inflammation is in control 1162 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,080 Speaker 1: in your body and that means it's prime for other 1163 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 1: health chronic health issues. 1164 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 4: I imasgine this can a person do a program with you, 1165 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 4: but don't stop the problem. Like for inst I have 1166 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,800 Speaker 4: a loved one that smoke cigarettes, So can they be 1167 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,600 Speaker 4: doing that still smoking cigarettes? 1168 01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 1: So there are different levels of toxicity and smoking is 1169 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 1: one of those really bad ones. Right. It's like saying, 1170 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, can I continue to you know, not just 1171 01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:23,680 Speaker 1: have a glass of wine, but drink every day? You know, 1172 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:28,480 Speaker 1: alcohol is now linked to cancer. Right, And it's not 1173 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,600 Speaker 1: that you won't see any improvement because doing something good. 1174 01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:32,120 Speaker 6: I feel. 1175 01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,800 Speaker 1: This is why I say, I say, start doing something good, 1176 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:38,200 Speaker 1: and you'll want to do the bad things less, right, 1177 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 1: because if you it's like when you start to love 1178 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 1: on yourself, right, by loving who God made you to be, 1179 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: and you start to pursue healing, you become less attached 1180 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,760 Speaker 1: to those things that are actually drawing away and actually 1181 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:58,920 Speaker 1: damaging you. Right, it's a natural thing. So I focus 1182 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,600 Speaker 1: less on what you need to stop doing. I focus 1183 01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 1: more on what you need to start doing. And when 1184 01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:11,480 Speaker 1: you start doing those things, yeah, it's just like pursue the. 1185 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,720 Speaker 5: Cross, you'll stop doing all the bad stuff. 1186 01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,240 Speaker 1: It's once you start pursuing him there, it is, yeah, right, 1187 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 1: once you pursue him. So for us it's like, hey, 1188 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,080 Speaker 1: give you the tools, and people feel like, well, you know, 1189 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 1: I can't do everything they want to be overwhelmed, and 1190 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,520 Speaker 1: for me, it was very critical in formulating our our 1191 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 1: program was that we wanted our supplements to to deal 1192 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,880 Speaker 1: with multiple things, so it's less things you had to 1193 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 1: get less. I'm like, I got to take. 1194 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,920 Speaker 5: Right a detox addict. 1195 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not going to do it. It's not maintained, 1196 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 1: it's not sustainable. 1197 01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,080 Speaker 3: So walk us through the process of like how you 1198 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 3: got these supplements, how you test them, all of that 1199 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 3: important stuff. 1200 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,440 Speaker 1: So I've been doing this for so many years and 1201 01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 1: there's so much research around it that it was really 1202 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:14,760 Speaker 1: partnering with manufacturers that do the that are FDA certified, right, 1203 01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 1: manufacturers that are FDA NSFGMP. Those are the certifications in 1204 01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: terms of because supplements are not FDA certified, but the 1205 01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 1: process right by which and then also that all of 1206 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 1: the ingredients and the and the protocols were science packed us. 1207 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 1: That was really critical and that we knew that For instance, 1208 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,280 Speaker 1: if I say to you, I've given you vitamin D, 1209 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 1: but it's not the scientist, it's not the therapeutic value. 1210 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,000 Speaker 1: What's that going to do for you? I'm just really 1211 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 1: giving you. You know, how many supplements are out there 1212 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 1: packed with vitamin D and really you get in just 1213 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,040 Speaker 1: a little bit right, or it has all these things, 1214 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,559 Speaker 1: these seventy two things. But you know, it's like when 1215 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: I hear people say, oh, Siemas has one hundred and two. 1216 01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,680 Speaker 1: First of all, that is not true. Okay, it is 1217 01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,360 Speaker 1: like nine, which is good, but let's not lie and say, 1218 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 1: you know, let's let's yeah, nothing has every single thing right. 1219 01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 1: And also that you've you've taken the time to look at. 1220 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,720 Speaker 1: For me, it's about putting the education back in the 1221 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 1: people's hands. That's why people say doctor justin I'm like, no, 1222 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,600 Speaker 1: That's why I kept saying I'm a coach because but 1223 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:20,160 Speaker 1: I want you to become the doctor of your own health. 1224 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:24,040 Speaker 1: Right that you understand because once the powers in your hand, 1225 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:26,960 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. I always say that's why I love 1226 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,680 Speaker 1: women so much, because I say, when you, when you 1227 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,520 Speaker 1: impact a women, you're going to change a whole generational 1228 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 1: unity for sure. Yeah, And so for us it was 1229 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,920 Speaker 1: about them being premium right and also for our protocols 1230 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,040 Speaker 1: once a day because I felt like, if I don't 1231 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,280 Speaker 1: get it that one time, it's not a lot of 1232 01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 1: chance I'm gonna get to do it again. You know 1233 01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,719 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you know, saying, especially when you're dealing 1234 01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:54,200 Speaker 1: with a woman's health issues. Again, we helped, we support 1235 01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,400 Speaker 1: men with our detoxes are fast and all of this, 1236 01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 1: but when we're looking at the things that are affecting 1237 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: women's health, women barely have time to take care of themselves. 1238 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: We barely do right. And we need to know that 1239 01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,240 Speaker 1: if I take to do this one thing for myself 1240 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 1: once a day, I'm gonna I'm gonna see progress. I'm 1241 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,679 Speaker 1: gonna actually make progress. And then when I make progress, 1242 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 1: I'll be inspired to do more. I'll be inspired to 1243 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,599 Speaker 1: take that air freshener out the house and change the 1244 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 1: products that I'm using and eat better. Right because a 1245 01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:28,080 Speaker 1: lot of people say, oh, it's just change your diet, 1246 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: just stop eating everything that tastes good and stop doing 1247 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:38,200 Speaker 1: all that. It's true, grow all your vegetables, Grow on 1248 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,639 Speaker 1: my vegetables, he said. Anointing he said. 1249 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 6: To me a week ago. He was like, I don't 1250 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,719 Speaker 6: even care about how it tastes anymore. I don't even care. 1251 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:48,639 Speaker 4: What it tastes. Like, I said, I'm just gonna eat 1252 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:52,759 Speaker 4: to live. I'm gonna eat whatever it tastes. I would 1253 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,280 Speaker 4: eat what if it's healthy. I'd just be like, but 1254 01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 4: because this. 1255 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,640 Speaker 3: Ring has been tracking like hell, sleep and all of 1256 01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:03,679 Speaker 3: the stuff, and how's it going doing great? 1257 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:04,360 Speaker 1: It's going great. 1258 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, she got me. 1259 01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 4: I always joke with people and say she was the 1260 01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:08,760 Speaker 4: first one to get me a ring. She gave me 1261 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:11,680 Speaker 4: a ring first, because when I got with her, she 1262 01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:13,639 Speaker 4: was so concerned. She was like, I want to get 1263 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,160 Speaker 4: your ring. How long had you been on it? 1264 01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:15,519 Speaker 5: For a year? 1265 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 6: After maybe like six months? 1266 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 4: Six months? And so she got me the or ring 1267 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:20,960 Speaker 4: and she was like, I don't think you get enough rest. 1268 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,760 Speaker 4: I don't think you do this. And I was like 1269 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:25,639 Speaker 4: all right, So and then I was like, man, because 1270 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 4: I was very apprehensive. I don't know why men are 1271 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 4: like that. Be like, I don't want you tracking my health. 1272 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. And then she talking about 1273 01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 5: add me to the circle. 1274 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 7: You know. 1275 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:37,639 Speaker 5: The thing. 1276 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 4: I said, man, I forget you. So I do all that. 1277 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 4: So if my ring be snitching telling me, telling her 1278 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:47,080 Speaker 4: I only got amount of hours by my sleep score 1279 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,400 Speaker 4: and all that. So now I started becoming competitive. That's 1280 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:50,000 Speaker 4: another thing about it. 1281 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:55,400 Speaker 5: You're ready to store. 1282 01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:09,599 Speaker 11: And I was like, what's your activities? You've been going to. 1283 01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 5: People give me a check, check, rum me a check 1284 01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 5: future wife. 1285 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 11: That's right, because we're focusing on getting health. I want 1286 01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:17,439 Speaker 11: to be a part of it absolutely or any plate studio, yes. 1287 01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:24,800 Speaker 4: Attached to us. So so that's what it is. And 1288 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 4: so I prioritize my health. And it's interesting because people 1289 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 4: are d m me or comment I see you losing weight, 1290 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,599 Speaker 4: the tears. I'd be like, be quiet, you know, but 1291 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,000 Speaker 4: now it's a compliment. But the truth is is that 1292 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 4: they see the result of of of being intentional. And 1293 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,679 Speaker 4: I said that it's funny because my boy Kevin Stage 1294 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 4: made a post where he was encouraging black men to 1295 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,679 Speaker 4: go to the doctor. He made a post in February 1296 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,559 Speaker 4: about that, and everybody started going off on him. 1297 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 5: Been negative. They were like, what your time I go 1298 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,040 Speaker 5: to doctor? I'm fine, I don't need to go to doctor. 1299 01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:02,800 Speaker 1: States right this regular visit. She said, what doctor you 1300 01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 1: going to? 1301 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 5: Oh? 1302 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:16,160 Speaker 4: So you just like having a finger in your I mean, 1303 01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,800 Speaker 4: they started going so in that. He was like, don't 1304 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 4: go to doctor. I don't care if you live. 1305 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: It's crazy, you know. And it's funny because you know, 1306 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,640 Speaker 1: we love this mantra. Health is your wealth, so we 1307 01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:31,120 Speaker 1: don't really live it generally speaking. I was talking about 1308 01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 1: that at the exponent. I was like, we have this 1309 01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,599 Speaker 1: strategy like get your bag, gets your bag the bag, 1310 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 1: And I said, but can your body. 1311 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 3: Talk a little bit because you mentioned where your husband works, 1312 01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:50,639 Speaker 3: talk a little bit about because I know that this 1313 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,599 Speaker 3: disproportionately affects black people. Absolutely talk a little bit about 1314 01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:58,519 Speaker 3: processed food and what you have seen the effects be 1315 01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 3: on our body. 1316 01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean think about that. So processed food means 1317 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:08,880 Speaker 1: it's just it's the additives, it's the chemicals that are 1318 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,559 Speaker 1: being used, right, So that's part of it drives the 1319 01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,400 Speaker 1: chronic inflammation and the hormonal balance, So two of those 1320 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 1: key drivers. Right. And you know, of course food is 1321 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,400 Speaker 1: your first medicine. Your first medicine is what you put 1322 01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,760 Speaker 1: in your body every day. Yes, you're sleep, but what 1323 01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 1: you eat every day, the water that you drink, the 1324 01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 1: food that you eat. So I'm very intentional about whole foods. 1325 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 1: I am very intentional about eating things that you know 1326 01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,640 Speaker 1: don't come from a can as much you know, and 1327 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 1: don't are not fast foods as much as possible, right, 1328 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:48,439 Speaker 1: because if you think about it, if I'm giving my body, 1329 01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 1: I want the food that I put in my body 1330 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 1: to heal me, not hurt me. That's good, right, that's 1331 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 1: what we want. It should be our medicine and not 1332 01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:00,639 Speaker 1: our entertainment because that's what we a lot of t Yeah, 1333 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:01,919 Speaker 1: we eat for entertainment. 1334 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:03,200 Speaker 5: I want to be my fuel. 1335 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, it needs to. 1336 01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 3: Be our fuel and explain to people who may not know, 1337 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,479 Speaker 3: because I really think that a lot of people don't 1338 01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 3: know what's processed versus what's real. Yeah, So give just 1339 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 3: a couple of examples of things that people may not 1340 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 3: know are processed. I hear A big one is like 1341 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:22,360 Speaker 3: Deli meats, Oh my god, and people sometimes are just like, 1342 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,120 Speaker 3: I'm having a sandwich, that's healthy. 1343 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. So that so, first of all, you know, we 1344 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 1: have something called the toxic eight list right in my 1345 01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,240 Speaker 1: n fibroids book, and we talk about toxic eight is 1346 01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:38,240 Speaker 1: everything from processed foods to of course alcohol and any 1347 01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,800 Speaker 1: kind of drugs. Right, But people don't think about the 1348 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: fact that Deli meats how they come about You're not 1349 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:47,040 Speaker 1: You're talking about it's not even real, Like there are 1350 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:52,439 Speaker 1: quote unquote antibiotic free it's actually from a pastor raid. 1351 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 1: Like you have to really look at all all the 1352 01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:59,880 Speaker 1: details the labels is really important, right, But you're talking 1353 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,719 Speaker 1: about was it like as close to its natural form 1354 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:08,160 Speaker 1: as possible as a whole food? Right? So that's why 1355 01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 1: I was saying about the app, like you can use 1356 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,719 Speaker 1: it to scan food too, because there's so many chemicals 1357 01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 1: that you don't even know the names of, right, that's 1358 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 1: the thing. And in that they hide so many poisons 1359 01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,920 Speaker 1: in those so like and one of the things that 1360 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 1: makes me really upset with the bread because people love bread, right, 1361 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:29,760 Speaker 1: bread and pasta. But in the US it's legal to 1362 01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: put glyphasay And there was a whole thing recently about 1363 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,840 Speaker 1: it being you know, what do you call it allowed? 1364 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,360 Speaker 1: You know, voted okay, and that's not the proper terminology, 1365 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,960 Speaker 1: but made legal, right, it's the terminology, and glycasay it 1366 01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 1: is illegal. It's banned outside of it, Like you can 1367 01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 1: have pasta and bread in Italy and France and feel good. 1368 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:53,919 Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel bloated. 1369 01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,559 Speaker 1: That is so true, because it's not it's not the 1370 01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,040 Speaker 1: bread that's the problem. It's the it's grown in the seed. 1371 01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:04,360 Speaker 1: It's what's in the in the in the the farming, 1372 01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, When how they're growing, it's 1373 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,800 Speaker 1: the glife is that they and why they use these 1374 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,800 Speaker 1: things is to make it that they last longer on 1375 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 1: the shelf. So if it's on a shelf, it's probably processed, right, 1376 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,800 Speaker 1: because think about that, if something has a expiration date 1377 01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 1: that is year, what do. 1378 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 3: You think they got in that that make it last 1379 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 3: that long? 1380 01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 9: Yes? 1381 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:29,559 Speaker 6: And then once I've play it in my body, how 1382 01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 6: long does it last? 1383 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't break down? And what happens if your body 1384 01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,320 Speaker 1: can't break it down? If your body can't break it down, 1385 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:44,360 Speaker 1: it turns into which then creates tumors. Right, creates damages 1386 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:49,200 Speaker 1: cell DNA, that's right, It damages our DNA, and now 1387 01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:53,960 Speaker 1: that creates many diseases. So it's so it's like soap. 1388 01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:58,519 Speaker 1: It's actually part of the culture. Right. Disease is part 1389 01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,760 Speaker 1: of the culture because of the toxicity that is just 1390 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 1: laden in everything around us. 1391 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,200 Speaker 4: You were saying that doctors, what'd you say about hospitals 1392 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:07,360 Speaker 4: want you to STACEI. 1393 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:13,240 Speaker 1: They you know the way. I think it's Chris Rock 1394 01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 1: that said it that the the money is in the treatment, 1395 01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 1: not the cure. Right. It's because if I cure you, 1396 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,439 Speaker 1: then you don't have a billion dollar business. Right. It's 1397 01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 1: like birth controls, birth control pills have been used not 1398 01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:35,800 Speaker 1: just for contraception. They've been used for acne, hormonal acne, 1399 01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 1: They've been used for cramps. Right they yeah, Like seriously, therewith, oh, 1400 01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 1: she's getting really bad skin put on birth control control? Yes, 1401 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:52,599 Speaker 1: it's yes, yes, And just what you said, stopping the 1402 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 1: system that God created to detox my body for that 1403 01:18:57,720 --> 01:18:59,719 Speaker 1: when the truth is, oh, but what are you putting 1404 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:00,719 Speaker 1: in your body? 1405 01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 6: That? 1406 01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:05,040 Speaker 1: But then Jesus say it is not valid. 1407 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 5: What we put in was coming out, So. 1408 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,880 Speaker 3: Tell us what what is like just your diet? What 1409 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:12,040 Speaker 3: is your diet like? 1410 01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:20,639 Speaker 1: So no, I have a very appetite. So remember part 1411 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 1: of this thing I didn't finish about my story, which 1412 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,280 Speaker 1: is really important, is that when because of all the 1413 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:30,519 Speaker 1: fibroid surgeries, remember I had the complications where you developed, 1414 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,599 Speaker 1: I developed small valobstructions. I had to have five of 1415 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,360 Speaker 1: those surgeries where I was left with less than three 1416 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:37,799 Speaker 1: feet of small test. 1417 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 4: He kept cutting it off a surgery, So after. 1418 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,839 Speaker 1: Each surgery they had to cut more of the small 1419 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 1: small testines out because of the scar tissue that it 1420 01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,280 Speaker 1: was attached to it, the adhesions. 1421 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,360 Speaker 5: You said, I read it cut twenty one feet off. 1422 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 1: Twenty feet because I have less than three feet left 1423 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,120 Speaker 1: and you're born with twenty five. Wow. Right, so think 1424 01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,280 Speaker 1: about that now. Your immune system, eighty percent of your 1425 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 1: immune system is in your gut, right and your brain God, yes, 1426 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 1: yes it is. And your brain is your gut is 1427 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,760 Speaker 1: called your second brain. So your brain health and your 1428 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:20,240 Speaker 1: immune health are literally centralized in your gut. Right, So 1429 01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,720 Speaker 1: think about the capacity God designed what you need. You 1430 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 1: need them twenty five feet to operate. I've been left 1431 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:33,240 Speaker 1: with less than three from all this, So that means 1432 01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:37,800 Speaker 1: immuno compromise. Right. That means if you saw me when 1433 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:41,200 Speaker 1: I walked in, I was bundled up because I have 1434 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:46,719 Speaker 1: to be more intensive intentional about keeping my body protecting 1435 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:51,080 Speaker 1: it from immune response. Right. It's easier to get sick, 1436 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:56,479 Speaker 1: harder to get better. Yeah, okay, so that affects your gut, 1437 01:20:56,760 --> 01:21:02,200 Speaker 1: your digestive process. Right now, anyone who has ever had 1438 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 1: a c section, a lap band surgery, a bariatric surgery, 1439 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:10,639 Speaker 1: any surgery where you've had abdominal surgery of any kind, 1440 01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:16,440 Speaker 1: you have a lifetime risk to develop a small bow obstruction. 1441 01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 1: Your doctor did not tell you. I want you to 1442 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,600 Speaker 1: take the time to research it. But any abdominal surgery 1443 01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: comes with a lifetime risk, and it doesn't just happen 1444 01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,400 Speaker 1: right after surgery. It can happen ten years down the road. 1445 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:36,599 Speaker 1: My friend just had a friend of hers, right, who 1446 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:41,000 Speaker 1: just died from a small bo obstruction. Lisa Marie Presley, 1447 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 1: Elvis Presley's daughter died from a small boo obstruction. Tea 1448 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:49,520 Speaker 1: Boz had to get off tour because she had emergency. 1449 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:53,000 Speaker 1: It was a small boo obstruction and it can cause 1450 01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 1: death if they catch it in time, you can't survive 1451 01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 1: like I did. Right. But the point is we're not 1452 01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 1: told that there are things that we need to do 1453 01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,280 Speaker 1: to help our bodies. Protect your body from developing that 1454 01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,559 Speaker 1: style of obstruction. Number one, if you cannot have surgery, 1455 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 1: do what it takes to help your body not to 1456 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,400 Speaker 1: have to have surgery, right, that's number one. 1457 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 4: Right. 1458 01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,519 Speaker 1: That's why our kit helps to help people to help 1459 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:23,000 Speaker 1: prevent the fibroids as well or the INDO or the system. 1460 01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,519 Speaker 3: But I want to because you said, if the doctor's 1461 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:30,040 Speaker 3: saying don't fix it, you said, don't listen because eventually 1462 01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,479 Speaker 3: you have to fix it. Yes, but then you're saying 1463 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:36,240 Speaker 3: you don't want to obstruct your so talk about that. 1464 01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,240 Speaker 1: So let me clarify that. Okay, So there are cases 1465 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:40,679 Speaker 1: where you have to have surgery. 1466 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:41,280 Speaker 6: Right. 1467 01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:46,439 Speaker 1: Those cases are if you're hemorrhaging, if it is posing 1468 01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:51,800 Speaker 1: damage to other organs.

Like pain. Pain is not 1590 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:14,800 Speaker 1: something we should ignore. That's good. It's not like the 1591 01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:18,439 Speaker 1: fact that something is hurting is your body saying hey, yeah. 1592 01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:24,000 Speaker 1: The worst headache of my life in twenty twenty.

And with kidney disease, 1635 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,360 Speaker 1: blood pressure is one of the highest issues, right And 1636 01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 1: at that point, they were refrigerating bodies in New York City, 1637 01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:54,840 Speaker 1: So I went nobody running to go to the doctor. Yeah, 1638 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,040 Speaker 1: because you got your head you see what I'm saying. 1639 01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:00,760 Speaker 1: Because it was more dangerous going to the dock. So 1640 01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:03,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't until things were, you know, like at the 1641 01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,040 Speaker 1: point where I was like, I have to have to 1642 01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 1: go some like at this point, it was really bad. 1643 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:14,960 Speaker 1: And it turns out now the headache. I found out 1644 01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,920 Speaker 1: at the same time when they did the scam that 1645 01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: showed the aneurysm, that I actually had a growth on 1646 01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:26,759 Speaker 1: my parathyroid, which is not your thyroid, it's behind your thyroid. 1647 01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:31,679 Speaker 1: It's called the parathyroid. And what was causing the headache 1648 01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:36,280 Speaker 1: was actually the parathyroid issue. But the headache is what 1649 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:40,600 Speaker 1: saved my life because typically speaking, you wouldn't. So I 1650 01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:42,880 Speaker 1: was saying, God, you saved you would you don't. How 1651 01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:46,560 Speaker 1: many people die with an aneurysm that ruptures Yeah, yeah, 1652 01:33:47,040 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 1: without because there's no symptoms until it's too late. It's 1653 01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:55,200 Speaker 1: too late exactly. Yeah. So it became a thing where 1654 01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:00,519 Speaker 1: there was like, listen to your body, thank God, Yeah, 1655 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:01,800 Speaker 1: I listened to my. 1656 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 4: Uh, why do you feel like your body has been 1657 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,360 Speaker 4: under attack so much? What do you feel like the 1658 01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:11,200 Speaker 4: calling is over your life? Because I hear a lot 1659 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:15,200 Speaker 4: of stuff about people I go to the spiritual and 1660 01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,920 Speaker 4: for you to be under attack this many times? What 1661 01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:22,040 Speaker 4: has God spoken or what has been prophetically spoken over 1662 01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,760 Speaker 4: your life as a young girl, or what what do 1663 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:26,840 Speaker 4: you think that is what has been spoken over your life? 1664 01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,799 Speaker 1: You know? It's so I love that you asked that question. 1665 01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:35,800 Speaker 1: So I remember when I first after my story came 1666 01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:40,559 Speaker 1: out in essence and I started to working with women, 1667 01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:45,519 Speaker 1: you know, and helping them heal targeting these issues. I 1668 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 1: remember one day because we had had a coaching session. 1669 01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,160 Speaker 1: It was a group coaching session with women going through 1670 01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:55,200 Speaker 1: and all these testimonies were coming forth and I after 1671 01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:57,679 Speaker 1: I hung up, I got off that zoom. I was 1672 01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:01,120 Speaker 1: I was sobbing. I was like, God, where was this 1673 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:05,680 Speaker 1: when I needed it? You know? He said to me, 1674 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:09,920 Speaker 1: he said, it was the horror of your story that 1675 01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:13,040 Speaker 1: connected these women to you. So they could heal. Absolutely, 1676 01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:17,120 Speaker 1: So he let me know, you know that it's my 1677 01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:21,720 Speaker 1: calling to help other people heal. And there's something in that. 1678 01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:24,519 Speaker 1: I was like, well, Lord, can I not teach them 1679 01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:32,240 Speaker 1: nothing else? I was. I was headed into that lad 1680 01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:35,960 Speaker 1: that the Parathi were Sir. I said, Father, that this 1681 01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:40,439 Speaker 1: be the last. Let it be the last. I promise 1682 01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,080 Speaker 1: I teach them stuff I don't even. 1683 01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:48,479 Speaker 7: Know to knowing God, you know when he when he 1684 01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:53,280 Speaker 7: gives somebody, if I know something, then save you. 1685 01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:57,519 Speaker 1: There's nothing that's going to keep me from sharing it, 1686 01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:01,120 Speaker 1: absolutely right, And that's the call, right that It's like, 1687 01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:06,040 Speaker 1: if I can help someone with inform like he knows it, 1688 01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:10,920 Speaker 1: and that's what he's endowed me with. Right. And he 1689 01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:14,280 Speaker 1: said it was because of your hell that people believed 1690 01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:20,120 Speaker 1: you like, I'm not talking from something that I don't know, 1691 01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:25,880 Speaker 1: like you know. And the truth is that that people 1692 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:29,519 Speaker 1: need authenticity to connect with right.

You know how 1838 01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:29,160 Speaker 1: many women this is unfortunately, how many women deal with 1839 01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:33,400 Speaker 1: this every day. I was talking to my husband literally 1840 01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,679 Speaker 1: the day before I came. I said, Babe, I never 1841 01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:39,840 Speaker 1: told you how much. I don't know if I said, 1842 01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:42,519 Speaker 1: I don't remember if I told you, But remember that 1843 01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:45,400 Speaker 1: time I bled all over the bmw C and it 1844 01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,320 Speaker 1: was nothing. It was coming home from church. Just hemorrhage. 1845 01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't just hemorrhage, just flooded. This is the reality 1846 01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:57,000 Speaker 1: of so many women. And here's the deal. We're not 1847 01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:01,320 Speaker 1: told that before it even became pain that heavy, that 1848 01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:06,240 Speaker 1: was a warning sign. We're not told that we're only 1849 01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:12,960 Speaker 1: medically we're only supposed to bleed three to five tablespoons. Tablespoons, 1850 01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:18,120 Speaker 1: three to five tablespoons. That is what the National Institute 1851 01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:22,720 Speaker 1: of Health says is a normal period. Wow, but how 1852 01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:26,280 Speaker 1: many doctors say you just bleed heavy? How many doctors 1853 01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:28,040 Speaker 1: just say, oh, you just have a heavy blood flow. 1854 01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:32,960 Speaker 1: So what happens is you normalize that heavy blood flow 1855 01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:39,920 Speaker 1: when the body says, oh, as this is not back 1856 01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:43,599 Speaker 1: it up. This is wrong. That's what the body is saying. 1857 01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:50,760 Speaker 1: But because we've normalized heavy bleeding, our body is literally 1858 01:45:51,320 --> 01:45:57,320 Speaker 1: suffering and going down a road where we didn't even realize. 1859 01:45:57,479 --> 01:45:59,559 Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute. I needed to interrupt this a 1860 01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:02,519 Speaker 1: long time ago, just when it looked like it was 1861 01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:06,760 Speaker 1: because I made it. It was normal, changing clothes, going. 1862 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:08,760 Speaker 5: Through changing by. 1863 01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:14,439 Speaker 1: Wearing diapers. You know how many sisters that's not normal. 1864 01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:19,040 Speaker 1: That's so if you are bleeding and changing your pad 1865 01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:22,320 Speaker 1: every two hours, every three hours. 1866 01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:26,160 Speaker 3: That is not scared to go to sleep. That is 1867 01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:28,160 Speaker 3: because you're scared you're gonna wake up. 1868 01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:31,640 Speaker 1: And that is your body telling you whether or not 1869 01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:34,160 Speaker 1: you have fibroids. It is your body telling you that 1870 01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:41,160 Speaker 1: the root issues of vitamin D deficiency, chronic inflammation, hormonal balance, 1871 01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:47,800 Speaker 1: and stress are driving the bus. And that is the 1872 01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:51,840 Speaker 1: point at which we need to intervene, not watching weight, 1873 01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:58,640 Speaker 1: not after we've suffered so much, right like, that is 1874 01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:02,840 Speaker 1: the point that that's the point. And when we reframe 1875 01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:10,599 Speaker 1: that and we destigmatize, destigmatize saying hey, something's wrong, and 1876 01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:12,680 Speaker 1: when the doctor tells you it's normal, that means that 1877 01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:15,200 Speaker 1: doctor's telling you I'm not the right doctor for you. 1878 01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:19,800 Speaker 1: I have to say, my good friend created a platform 1879 01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:23,920 Speaker 1: called Clinicians who Care, which is a free platform that 1880 01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:30,080 Speaker 1: is created and it's populated with doctors who care. Listen 1881 01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:35,240 Speaker 1: and believe you. They care for Listen to and believe 1882 01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:40,160 Speaker 1: you because that is a rarity, it is right, and 1883 01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:42,439 Speaker 1: all we want you to do. If you're a person 1884 01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:47,000 Speaker 1: who has a good doctor relationship populated, put that doctor's 1885 01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:50,000 Speaker 1: name in that because that'll save somebody else's life. Because 1886 01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:54,519 Speaker 1: someone who says, no, that's not normal, that's not normal, 1887 01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:59,320 Speaker 1: that you're changing your pad every two hours. Stop it. Now, 1888 01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:03,800 Speaker 1: do you want to understand what the revolution? Yeah?

I think 1931 01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:26,639 Speaker 4: men need to do their due diligence and learn the 1932 01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:28,200 Speaker 4: inner workings of. 1933 01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:29,280 Speaker 5: A woman's body. 1934 01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:34,080 Speaker 4: Most men are just fixated on a woman's vagina, but 1935 01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:37,760 Speaker 4: you need to know everything connected to it or whole 1936 01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:42,880 Speaker 4: reproductive system and the the things that she may be 1937 01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:46,840 Speaker 4: struggling with in private. And we need to normalize those 1938 01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:50,680 Speaker 4: conversations in our community. Also gives us more language and 1939 01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:55,160 Speaker 4: understanding on even when we're raising young girls, not to 1940 01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:59,040 Speaker 4: normalize just putting them on birth control. And the first 1941 01:50:59,080 --> 01:51:01,519 Speaker 4: thing they say is when a woman is a young 1942 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:04,080 Speaker 4: girl is having heavy cycles, they say, well, put you 1943 01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:07,120 Speaker 4: on birth control the solveet. And so they make birth 1944 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:13,599 Speaker 4: control the solution when it's just masking the real symptoms 1945 01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:15,320 Speaker 4: and the real issues, and so. 1946 01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,960 Speaker 3: Its creating more problem, creating more problems down the line. 1947 01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:19,760 Speaker 5: Absolutely. 1948 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:21,800 Speaker 4: And so when I think about all this and I 1949 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:26,920 Speaker 4: think about our Luteria, you know, she just gave birth 1950 01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:32,200 Speaker 4: to our angel baby, yeah, six months or Claire, and 1951 01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:34,880 Speaker 4: at this time of this air and it'd be seven months. 1952 01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:35,040 Speaker 10: But. 1953 01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:41,880 Speaker 4: She she had a big dermoid cyst in her body 1954 01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:45,519 Speaker 4: that was five pounds, six pounds or something crazy it was. 1955 01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:49,120 Speaker 4: It was huge, and I didn't know anything about a 1956 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:54,640 Speaker 4: dermoid cist. A dermoid cyst can grow teeth and hair teeth, yes, yes, 1957 01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:57,040 Speaker 4: all that scary thing and I was like, this was 1958 01:51:57,040 --> 01:51:59,040 Speaker 4: inside your body and she kept trying to lose weight 1959 01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,600 Speaker 4: and lose weight and it's just sitting there and she 1960 01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:04,799 Speaker 4: was like, what is going on?

Your mom gonna do it. 2004 01:53:51,080 --> 01:53:54,559 Speaker 4: Because when she when she went to surgery, uh, that 2005 01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:56,960 Speaker 4: was literally the month before we got married. Wow, and 2006 01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:00,960 Speaker 4: her mom was like, yeah, this is a whole different thing. 2007 01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:04,439 Speaker 4: So we'll probably bring the stress. The doctors out. 2008 01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:07,840 Speaker 1: But you know, I love that, you know you said 2009 01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:11,080 Speaker 1: the advocacy piece, because that's a whole other thing that's 2010 01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:14,120 Speaker 1: really passionate about, is the fact that medical bias is real. 2011 01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:16,960 Speaker 1: Yes it is, and we always, because of that, need 2012 01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:21,400 Speaker 1: to have an advocate. Period. So whether it's your husband, 2013 01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:24,880 Speaker 1: you're somebody who's in the medical world, somebody who will 2014 01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:28,280 Speaker 1: not take you know, who won't stop asking the hard questions. 2015 01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:33,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, always, Well my mother handled medical malpractice claims her, 2016 01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:37,760 Speaker 3: you know, throughout her whole career, and so I just 2017 01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:41,280 Speaker 3: want to reinforce what you said is that when you 2018 01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:45,720 Speaker 3: don't ask questions, then you don't always get help, and 2019 01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:48,440 Speaker 3: sometimes you don't know what to ask. But you need 2020 01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:52,280 Speaker 3: to do research and you need to keep fighting for 2021 01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:55,280 Speaker 3: yourself because sometimes I think that we as a people, 2022 01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:58,200 Speaker 3: we just believe that because you have a coat on 2023 01:54:58,640 --> 01:55:01,480 Speaker 3: or the word doctor in front of your name, that 2024 01:55:01,560 --> 01:55:05,520 Speaker 3: you know best, that's the time to ask questions at 2025 01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:06,000 Speaker 3: the doctor. 2026 01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually, if I can share something around that, that's 2027 01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:13,800 Speaker 1: really important. So you know, I didn't share the part 2028 01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:16,200 Speaker 1: that I dealt with a lot of medical bias and 2029 01:55:16,280 --> 01:55:19,680 Speaker 1: racism right where, you know, when I was diagnosed with 2030 01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:22,080 Speaker 1: that aneurysm. The doctor told me, oh, I can fit 2031 01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:24,760 Speaker 1: you in my calendar eight days from now, and they 2032 01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:27,160 Speaker 1: tried to send me home, right, And it's a whole 2033 01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:28,920 Speaker 1: whole bunch of other things. But I learn on the 2034 01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:34,160 Speaker 1: journey that there's some specific questions. Number one is if 2035 01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:38,000 Speaker 1: you go to the doctor and they're saying to you that, 2036 01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:42,320 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. You know that you're dealing 2037 01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:46,760 Speaker 1: with the pain and they just treat it topically, right, 2038 01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:52,160 Speaker 1: it's important to ask them what is your differentials diagnosis? 2039 01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:57,600 Speaker 1: And what evidence do you have that it's not these things? Right? 2040 01:55:57,680 --> 01:56:00,960 Speaker 1: So to tell you what that means diagnosis is what 2041 01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:04,480 Speaker 1: else can it be? Because if you don't ask the 2042 01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:08,240 Speaker 1: doctor that they're not required to do that. They should, 2043 01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:11,760 Speaker 1: but they're not required to do so what is your 2044 01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:16,520 Speaker 1: differential diagnosis? So, for instance, okay, this pain on my side, 2045 01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you very very real example, my own example. Right, 2046 01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:21,920 Speaker 1: I went to the doctor. I was having a pain 2047 01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:24,760 Speaker 1: right here, flank on my side. I remember the kidney 2048 01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:30,760 Speaker 1: disease that's here. I knew it could be a ruptured cyst, right, 2049 01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:33,360 Speaker 1: because they're the kidney disease disease I have is called 2050 01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:38,240 Speaker 1: polycystic kidney disease. So they are hundreds, like multiple hundred 2051 01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:45,720 Speaker 1: cysts all over my kidneys. Okay, and the kidneys get large, 2052 01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:50,160 Speaker 1: very large, right, like they're My waist was much smaller, 2053 01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:52,960 Speaker 1: but it's bigger because of the kidneys. Okay. There's nothing 2054 01:56:52,960 --> 01:56:54,880 Speaker 1: I can do. I can't lose weight or nothing like that. 2055 01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:57,280 Speaker 1: But praise God, I got healthy kidneys because I'm here, 2056 01:56:57,480 --> 01:57:01,840 Speaker 1: and I thank you God that my kidneys are still functioning. Period. 2057 01:57:02,280 --> 01:57:04,720 Speaker 1: So I went to the doctor because the pain was 2058 01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:07,200 Speaker 1: so bad. I went to the er. They said, well, 2059 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:09,640 Speaker 1: I said, so what else could it be? They tested 2060 01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:11,879 Speaker 1: it to make sure it wasn't a small boo obstruction 2061 01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:15,160 Speaker 1: because of my history, it could be a it could 2062 01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:18,600 Speaker 1: be an obstruction that developed, right, So they did a 2063 01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:22,520 Speaker 1: CT scan, an abdominal CT scan. They did blood work 2064 01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:25,080 Speaker 1: to confirm it wasn't a blood clot because it could 2065 01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:28,240 Speaker 1: be a blood clot right in my lung because of 2066 01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:31,960 Speaker 1: where it was in this area. Right, They made sure 2067 01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:35,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't. So they ruled out the worst things it 2068 01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:39,560 Speaker 1: could be. Then there was like, because it's not these things, 2069 01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:43,360 Speaker 1: we have to assume that it is a ruptured cyst. 2070 01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:45,880 Speaker 1: You will know in a week to two weeks, if 2071 01:57:45,880 --> 01:57:47,800 Speaker 1: the pain goes away, you'll know that it was a 2072 01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:51,680 Speaker 1: ruptured cyst all right. Now, if I didn't know the 2073 01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:53,960 Speaker 1: things that I know, they could have just given me 2074 01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:58,480 Speaker 1: a pain killer and sent me home. Okay, But if 2075 01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:02,280 Speaker 1: you don't ask what the differential diagnosis, they could be like, well, 2076 01:58:02,280 --> 01:58:04,040 Speaker 1: they're going to give you the lowest hanging fruit of 2077 01:58:04,040 --> 01:58:06,200 Speaker 1: what it is versus. But you didn't test me to 2078 01:58:06,240 --> 01:58:10,280 Speaker 1: make sure it wasn't the monster in the room, right right, 2079 01:58:11,240 --> 01:58:13,680 Speaker 1: you have to rule out So the second question, which 2080 01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:17,600 Speaker 1: is what evidence do you have that it is not cancer? 2081 01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:22,000 Speaker 1: Because differential it could be cancer differential diagnosis. It could 2082 01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:25,120 Speaker 1: be a ruptressist differential diagnosis. It could be a small 2083 01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:27,720 Speaker 1: bo obstruction. So how are you going to get evidence 2084 01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:29,840 Speaker 1: that it's not those things? You're going to do the test. Now, 2085 01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:36,040 Speaker 1: you're required to do the tests to rule out those things, right, Yeah, 2086 01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:38,560 Speaker 1: So that is your right. Yeah, that's a patient. 2087 01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:42,080 Speaker 3: And I will say my grandfather he told the doctor, 2088 01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:46,040 Speaker 3: he said, Doc, I got cancer. I'm losing weight like 2089 01:58:46,120 --> 01:58:48,640 Speaker 3: I can't keep that, like I have cancer. The doctor said, 2090 01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:51,960 Speaker 3: you don't have cancer. See that, you know, my grandpa 2091 01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:54,800 Speaker 3: got so weak he fell down, he couldn't get up, 2092 01:58:55,880 --> 01:58:59,520 Speaker 3: was went to the doctor, was diagnosed with stage four 2093 01:58:59,640 --> 01:59:04,160 Speaker 3: or at that terminal cancer and lived about a month longer. 2094 01:59:04,720 --> 01:59:08,520 Speaker 3: So when I say you are telling the truth, we 2095 01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:11,600 Speaker 3: know our bodies. We need to listen to our bodies, 2096 01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:13,800 Speaker 3: and we have to advocate for ourselves. 2097 01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:18,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely. I say, when you go into the doctor's office, 2098 01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:21,480 Speaker 1: there are two experts in the room. There's the doctor 2099 01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:24,440 Speaker 1: who's the expert in their field, but there's you who's 2100 01:59:24,480 --> 01:59:28,920 Speaker 1: the expert on you. And never listen to a doctor 2101 01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:33,200 Speaker 1: that won't that devalues your expertise because you're the very 2102 01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:38,720 Speaker 1: first source of information they have. You are the person 2103 01:59:38,760 --> 01:59:40,360 Speaker 1: they need to listen to the most.

While Ladarian and Ourmiani 2142 02:01:52,120 --> 02:01:55,160 Speaker 4: were trying to survive and barely thrive in an overpopulated 2143 02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:58,360 Speaker 4: and underfunded Falster care system, I was living my own life, 2144 02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:01,480 Speaker 4: doing well professionally, having been a single father with a 2145 02:02:01,600 --> 02:02:04,040 Speaker 4: daughter who at that point was doing well in college. 2146 02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:06,880 Speaker 4: It was my time to live my life right. 2147 02:02:07,080 --> 02:02:07,400 Speaker 11: Wrong. 2148 02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:14,280 Speaker 4: I felt unsettled, tireless, agitated. There are just two many 2149 02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:17,920 Speaker 4: of our black children stuck in ambiguity and in the 2150 02:02:17,960 --> 02:02:21,360 Speaker 4: limbo of the Falseter care system. In twenty seventeen, I 2151 02:02:21,440 --> 02:02:25,360 Speaker 4: legally adopted my nephew Ladarian. Fast forward to twenty nineteen. 2152 02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:27,600 Speaker 4: I had no ties to this other young king, but 2153 02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:30,680 Speaker 4: I felt God instructed me to adopt them also on albate. 2154 02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:34,680 Speaker 4: Starting over with parentings should have been enough. Right, Working 2155 02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:37,400 Speaker 4: with various foster care and adoption agencies to help bring 2156 02:02:37,400 --> 02:02:40,640 Speaker 4: awareness to the countless young Black Kings and the Falster 2157 02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:44,880 Speaker 4: care system should have decreased my agitation. Right joined the 2158 02:02:44,920 --> 02:02:48,280 Speaker 4: board of directors of Advantage Adoption and organization that helps 2159 02:02:48,320 --> 02:02:51,760 Speaker 4: find permanent adoptive homes for children in false care should 2160 02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:53,360 Speaker 4: have led to some type of resolve. 2161 02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:53,680 Speaker 5: Right. 2162 02:02:54,040 --> 02:02:58,160 Speaker 4: No, not at all. None of it felt like I 2163 02:02:58,200 --> 02:03:02,760 Speaker 4: had done enough. I now realize that every one of 2164 02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:06,960 Speaker 4: those experiences was land the fundamental foundation for my life's mission. 2165 02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:11,920 Speaker 4: Kingdom Royal. Kingdom Royal would be a luxury, state of 2166 02:03:11,960 --> 02:03:15,360 Speaker 4: the art home for foster boys. Our first location will 2167 02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:18,200 Speaker 4: be in the Dallas Fortward Metroplex. We will utilize the 2168 02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:22,600 Speaker 4: whole person approach that instills identity, empowers them to advocate 2169 02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:26,880 Speaker 4: for themselves, and enlightens them regarding new perspectives and limitless 2170 02:03:26,920 --> 02:03:31,840 Speaker 4: options that they thought were impossible. Though the young Kings 2171 02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:34,760 Speaker 4: will attend the local public schools that are in proximity 2172 02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:38,320 Speaker 4: to Kingdom Royal. Our at home curriculum will broaden their 2173 02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:42,400 Speaker 4: worldview through participating in the arts, attending various cultural events, 2174 02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:46,960 Speaker 4: learning about and engaging in multifaceted discussions about current events 2175 02:03:47,080 --> 02:03:51,920 Speaker 4: and even relevant historical contexts, introducing them to gardening and landscaping, 2176 02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:55,280 Speaker 4: and even caring for our animals on our form and 2177 02:03:55,400 --> 02:03:59,800 Speaker 4: on site stables. We just launched our startup capital campaign 2178 02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:02,160 Speaker 4: with the goal of raising two point eight million dollars. 2179 02:04:02,200 --> 02:04:03,680 Speaker 4: Now why two point eight million dollars? 2180 02:04:04,480 --> 02:04:04,680 Speaker 5: Well? 2181 02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:07,040 Speaker 4: In twenty seventeen, I created a web series in which 2182 02:04:07,080 --> 02:04:11,040 Speaker 4: I performed random acts of kindness for targeting the homeless community. 2183 02:04:11,240 --> 02:04:13,520 Speaker 4: One of the most notable successes was that one of 2184 02:04:13,560 --> 02:04:18,800 Speaker 4: the videos went viral, garnering twenty eight million views. However, 2185 02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:21,360 Speaker 4: one of my biggest regrets is that I didn't raise 2186 02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:24,760 Speaker 4: a single dollar to help in implementing a more sustainable 2187 02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:29,000 Speaker 4: plan for the homeless community. So throughout the years, with 2188 02:04:29,120 --> 02:04:32,640 Speaker 4: much remorse, I reflect that I'm not maximizing that moment. 2189 02:04:32,720 --> 02:04:35,680 Speaker 4: I knew if at that time just ten percent of 2190 02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:38,560 Speaker 4: the viewers donated one dollar, we would have raised at 2191 02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:42,160 Speaker 4: least two point eight million dollars that could have really 2192 02:04:42,240 --> 02:04:45,240 Speaker 4: established long term support for the homeless community, or at 2193 02:04:45,320 --> 02:04:49,320 Speaker 4: least started a long term initiative to do so. This 2194 02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:53,800 Speaker 4: is my do over, This is our new beginning. Together, 2195 02:04:54,080 --> 02:04:57,400 Speaker 4: we can attack this at the root by specifically helping 2196 02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:02,400 Speaker 4: our homeless Black boys who are already disproportionately represented in 2197 02:05:02,440 --> 02:05:06,080 Speaker 4: the American fossil care system.
