44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: see awards behind you. Are they blessings? You know? People

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: always say you know you're you're achieve a certain level.

46
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: It can be a blessing and a curse. Talk about

47
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: that experience of being successful talent of Land. Well, I

48
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: won't say it's a curse, but sometimes you're not gonna please.

49
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: The thing how I've learned is you're not gonna please everybody,

50
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: so I enjoy it. I mean, I'm just living, as

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: the kids say, now, I'm living my best life, and

52
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I really thank God for the favor that he's giving me.

53
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: But I mean thank God for the awards. But I

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: don't try not to get caught up into all of that.

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: I just like certain. I just love certain. We're not

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Look at Tom Brady when he wanted the super Bowl.

57
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, he said he wanted to win another super Bowl.

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: And that's and I think that's that's what we have

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: to understand that don't hold on what sometimes to what

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: you've accomplished. Look at what you can do. And I've

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: always thought that about you. Know, you know, I love David.

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: Your husbands are deaf. And today I got you by

63
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: yourself today to talk about the things you're doing for

64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: your career, because it always seems that sometimes when you

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: are married, you can get caught up and people just

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: think you can only do things as a pair, you

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: don't have a life. But I've always seen you as

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: an individual and saw him as a successful individual. Talk

69
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: about that relationship as a couple and then defining yourself

70
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: as tambla man. As a couple, I can say for myself,

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I look at us as being a powerful couple because

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: of us believing in supporting one another. And we just

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: try to be examples for other people to see that

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: you can't work together and you know, be some shakers

75
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and be some movers to get some things done because

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: we're just really sent to be encourages and as individuals,

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: it works for us because we we're not jealous of

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: each other. We're in each other's corners. We have each

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: other's best interested hard and making whatever that gold is

80
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: or desire that you have, we want to make it

81
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: come to pass. For each other, like now David got

82
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: my career often going, and now I want him. I

83
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: told him, let's do it. Let's go do whatever you

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: need to do, we want to do. Let's make that happen.

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: And we're just used to allowing each other to have

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: that light. If it's it's time to be in the light,

87
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm cool with just standing in the background, sharing them

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: on and vice versa. For me, well, the beauty of

89
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: being in the background. You really ain't in the background, tamer, Okay,

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: you know you're so much. You're in front of me.

91
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: You're from a lot of people, girl, especially they gospel world,

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: and that's a beautiful thing because we don't know the

93
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: journeys that we see. We always do is wake up

94
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: in the morning. We feel blessed because God aloud us.

95
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: I way tell be A long clock doesn't wake me

96
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: up God, you know, LO just have to be some

97
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: physical tool that reminds me that I can get up

98
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: at a certain time. But I get up. But I

99

00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: I love it. Tell us about Soul Santa now, because

123
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean and that that's the whole soul. Santa is

124
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: gonna be something really different for us as a couple.

125
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: We still as a couple, but we have some disagreements

126
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: going on here. But it's serious. You know, it's a

127
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: drummer um. Normally, you know we have comedy, uh and drama,

128
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: but this time it's just more drummer and David is

129
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: you get to see him in a different light. And

130
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: I really believe it's a really really cute, loving Christmas movie.

131
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: It's just gonna put you in a Christmas sphere. Well,

132
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: you know the thing about that when I talked about

133
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: like I always look at Kevin Hard and I always

134
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: telling people Kevin Hodg's gonna win Oscar because you can

135
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: really act. He's a He structured his career where you

136
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: can accept him as a comedian and now you can

137
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: accept him as a serious actor. And and I've always

138
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: seen David and because he's he's he's he's a person.

139
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: When you said out and talked to him, you can

140
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: just see that other side of him because he's not

141
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: a guy who has to be owned all the time

142
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: to entertain you. And that allows me to let him

143
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: know that he can cross over and be serious, he

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: can cross over, be focused, he can he the role.

145
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: So so when you start seeing him and the script

146
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: came to you, what were your thoughts of the opportunity

147
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and what was his thoughts that he shared with you

148
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: when he saw he had to do a more serious role.

149
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: He was He was serious and he was serious of

150
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: happy about it. And for him to be serious, I

151
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: mean it was hard on Like when we were recording

152
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: of Feminine, you know, some things he wanted to bring

153
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: in some comedy, but he had to really structure himself

154
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: to just be straight. And um, Terry Vaughan was out

155
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: directed ball. When I tell you she was working with it.

156
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: She was like, no, we're not doing anything like sitcoms.

157
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: It's straight. I don't want no laughter right here. So

158
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: it was really challenging, but a great challenge for him.

159
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: And even to the extent that him. You know, he

160
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: was a drinker in the movie, so he had to

161
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: be drunk, so that was something totally different from him.

162
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: So it's crazy, it's really crazy, but he did it.

163
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: He did doing the Pandemic, which means we're gonna get

164
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: to some more stuff you've done because you were busy

165
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: doing the pandemic Pandemic It didn't thank the lot and

166
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: it really didn't. So how was that done? When you know,

167
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: when you when you guys are quarantined to on his

168
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: uh compound, how are you able to do these movies

169
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: and you feel still comfortable that you could be safe

170
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: and your family was safe when you saw him again? Um,

171
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: the compound with Tyler Ferry Studios. Yes, we once you

172
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: you had the test before you got in. We tested

173
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: like two to three times a week, and it was

174
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: like once you got on you cannot you couldn't leave.

175
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: So we were on campus the whole time that we

176
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: were there feelming, which was great. Tyler make sure that

177
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: everybody had everything they needed. It was it was incredible.

178
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: It was it was expensive for him, but it was

179
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: very incredible how he took care of everybody. And safety

180
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: was the first thing that they I mean they pumped

181
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: it into us with being writing up on each other

182
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: and still social distance and all of that. When we

183
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: did the movie, we were being tested as well to

184
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: three times a week, and it was not so as

185
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: confined as the base of Toddler Prayer Studios. But they

186
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: kind of told us didn't really want us going out.

187
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: It's like people go film tests and be like right

188
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: in the hotel pretty much everybody. They had everybody stay

189
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: at one hotel. They almost runted that the whole hotel

190
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: for everybody, so it would just be us there. But

191
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: we tested like two to three times a weekend. They

192
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: were really pushing you know, social distance and keeping your

193
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: mask on and the actors we had to do these

194
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: shields once they put your makeup on, but everybody had

195
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: to be masked up, like hair makeup has to have

196
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: on two masks, like a mask and a shield. So

197
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: they were being everybody was being very careful. We've been

198
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: really blessed. We've been really blessed. It's finally here, the

238
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: was tired. I took I took a few breaks breaks,

239
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: but and then to working on the music. But you

240
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: know what, you have to kind of work while it's day.

241
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: You have to just keep going why you can because

242
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: you don't know what we do, You don't know what's

243
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen, So you kind of have to work when

244
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: it's time to work. And I think a lot of

245
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: people don't play, then you play, a lot of people

246
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: don't do that. They put restrictions on what they can do.

247
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: I do say, they'll say something like I do it later,

248
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: or that opportunity they're gonna come back around, and it's

249
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: not always true. That's not it's not and so that

250
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: it's not true that it's gonna come back, they may

251
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: go get somebody else. And that I love about you

252
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: because I always talk about you being a businesswoman. Was

253
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: the launch of your clothing line, the Tambla Man Collection,

254
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: because to me, you know, because you know, I I

255
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: love seeing talent, I love seeing gifted people, but some

256
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: people just can see you in that lane and think

257
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: that's all you can do, And that's all I always

258
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: champion of you every time I talk to you. We

259
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: talked business to talk about that whole the Tamla Man Collection.

260
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: How did it get started and what motivated you to

261
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: do it? What motivated me to do it was trying

262
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: to go find some nice things for plus size because

263
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times when it comes to

264
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: our fabrice, you know, they have some stuff that look

265
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: like table cloths, and we don't want to look like

266
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: a table cloth. Don't know, we may be thick. You

267
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: don't wanna look like we want to look cute too,

268
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: So I was really tuned in on like the plus

269
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: size thick ladies. I don't you know, I hate. I

270
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: don't even like the word plus size. I say thick,

271
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, nice with our curves everywhere. But whoever we

272
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: got wherever your curves are, I like that, that's we're thick.

273
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: So size is two up thirty two. It was for

274
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: your everyday woman. Something nice and comfortable is what we

275
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: were aiming for. And the quality it was all. It's

276
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: all about Templeman collection with the quality of work and

277
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: how well it's put together. So when I'm talking to

278
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: my of my young managers, which is my daughter law

279
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: that runs it and the other lady that helps us

280
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: with distribution, I'm all about cushing the fabrics that we choose.

281
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: My daughter helps, my daughter and my daughter and we

282
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: all three of us and they're younger, so we're trying

283
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: to help for my age group and the younger age

284
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: group so we can have something for everybody. So we

285
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: try to, you know, dress up. I want to be cute,

286
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: comfortable where it's you can do do your errands, actually

287
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: work out in it. Those comfortable clothes you just throw

288
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: on and throw and go and get worried about ironing

289
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: it things like that. That's how that came about. It's

290
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: something comfortable and cute for our thick legs. So till

291
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: David to do the same thing for me, because when

292
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: I get out of these suits, I just want some

293
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: comfortable stuff that I can just go out in the yard,

294
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: or I can just go to the store and go

295
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: to home deep or go to the Krogers or whatever.

296
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: Comfortable but look good though I still I have my

297
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: little style on me, you know, now my flavor. That's

298
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: what you're saying. Your clothing line is you can look comfortable,

299
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: you can feel comfortable, but you still look good and cute.

300
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: The Channel collection, that's what we talked about. Now that

301
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: now this leads to the song. He did it for me.

302
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: Now when I when I heard that title, he did

303
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: it for me. That that that resonated with me because

304
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a person that I'm not I'm telling the

305
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: straight up for I'm not the Church Gore. I'm not

306
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: a person can recite quotes from the Bible. You know,

307
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna even say that, but that my faith.

308
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: You cannot question that because I am strong in my faith.

309
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm strong in my belief that I'm blessed to be here.

310
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: I wake up because of the mercy of God. My

311
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: family is here because of the blessings that He had

312
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: provide for me to be able to take care of them,

313
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: and the fact that I come home every day. It's

314
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: tied to his blessings. So when I hear he did

315
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: it from me, what did it resonate to you? Because

316
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: you created the song, you've seen the song he did

317
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: it for me comes from a place I had did this.

318
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: I had did um an interview and then I heard

319
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: I got back of someone saying, you know that I'm

320
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: doing a lot of things and a lot of doors

321
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: are open it for me, and why is she getting

322
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: all these things? And it really hurt me to the core,

323
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: honestly where it brought me to tears where I'm not

324
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: out here, no one has handing me anything. We're working for.

325
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: We've worked for everything that we have, and I just

326
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: I was talking to the producer, which was Phil Briant

327
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: at the time, and I was like, man, this don't

328
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: come easy, the gifts that we have, and I just

329
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: didn't understand why the words were being saying, why is

330
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: everything coming to her? Why? Like it's I guess it

331
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: looks easy, but it's not easy for me, and I

332
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: just don't. I just really I just really didn't understand, honestly.

333
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: So I was like, it was God did this for me.

334
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: I didn't do it for myself. It was a favor

335
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: that He's placed upon my life with the work that

336
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: I've put in, and that's how he did it for me.

337
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: Came about that. It's no goodness of my own, but

338
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: the Lord saw fit to bless me. You know. The thing,

339
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about it is that I look at

340
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: I look at my life, you know, and and I

341
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: look at your life too, because you know, we've known

342
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: each other a long time. And when when you're young,

343
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: you know, when you're young, you're twenties, and third, you

344
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: don't see forties and fifties. You just don't see it.

345
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: And then and then I look at young people being

346
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: successful when their twenties and thirties, and I often think,

347
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: do they understand how much it takes to get to

348
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: the forties and fifties with that same level of success?

349
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: And then I realized, I'm blessed. I'm blessed because I

350
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 1: work hard, but I blessed because the opportunity is presented

351
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: to me. And I just I guess what I'm just

352
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: trying to say to you is that he did it

353
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: for me. Really, it's a testimony to that you understood

354
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: that twenty he did it for you, thirty he did

355
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: it for you. In your forties and older, he did

356
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: it for you. So a lot of people don't understand

357
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: that they get lost because they only live in for

358
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: the moment. Because I tell people I'm gonna live as

359
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: long as I don't know what retirement means. I don't

360
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: know how you're supposed to walk in fifty or sixty

361
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: or seventy. But Rus Shaw gonna walk over Shan Shan.

362
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: And I think that when I hear this hit and

363
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: hear the title, he did it for me, that's all

364
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: you're saying. Don't criticize me for what I'm achieving, because

365
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to take credit for what I'm achieving

366
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. That's so true. That's true. And and and

367
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: I think sometimes people feel like, you know, give me

368
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: a shot, but you know it once up all the

369
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: time in my life, I can't say I would be

370
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: looking at like, Lord, I'm not being blessed. But once

371
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: I honestly start putting the work in and start believing

372
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: what I prayed for, that's when the Lord started moving

373
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: in my behalf, because my faith started standing on its

374
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: own to trust God to be God, and he started

375
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: doing He started doing it for me right now. You

376
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: know when I when we think about your life, you know,

377
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: my my I got on the scale of the day.

378
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,920

379
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: like three weeks ago, and uh, what you're doing that

380
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,360

407
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: you that makes you comfortable to talk about it today. Okay, Well,

408
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: that's how Overcoming came about. The last five or six years,

409
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: I was actually working in pain, dancing around doing filming,

410
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: all of these things were happening, and I will be

411
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: in so much pain, and you know, once but while

412
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: I was working, it's like it didn't bother me. But

413
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: once I came off stage or sit down, my knees

414
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: will be hurting me so bad. And after going through

415
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: the surgery, not knowing how I was gonna if everything

416
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: was gonna work properly, you know, if my body was

417
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: gonna just to this material being in my body, and

418
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, Lord, you know I need you to help

419
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: me overcome this. And then with the wellness thing again,

420
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: it's like I didn't want to be a liability of

421
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: my family. So it's like you gotta do something different

422
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: if you want some different results. So it's I'm still

423
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: That's why I took the album the name Overcoming, because

424
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: it's a day by day walk that by faith, I'm

425
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna overcome. I'm overcoming. I've lost some weight, but it's

426
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: I still got goals that I want to reach. I

427
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: want to complete and finish that that I started. And

428
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: with the with the knees and everything, I went through therapy,

429
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: like you said, and it's like every day, every day,

430
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's getting better and better. It's it's been

431
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: two years July, so it's like I'm getting better and better,

432
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: and I just want to be like that. Even in

433
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: my life, I just want to get better. I don't

434
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: want to be even though I'm fifty, in my fifties,

435
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: I still want to be able to learn from somebody.

436
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: I can learn from a young person or even the

437
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: older person. I'm open to receive it. If it's gonna

438
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: make me better, I'm willing to do that. So that's

439
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: how I'm working at being an overcome up every day,

440

448
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: lot of things we've started in our lives, and I

449
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: even in my own life, I took it personal. All

450
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: these songs, I took it personally. I've started things that

451
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, you start cleaning up in the room and

452
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: so you know, you know, started another room and you

453
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: haven't even finished complete that tast So my thing is

454

Speaker 1: the safe focus and finish this album. We're started with

455
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: finish work, the work that God has begun on us.

456
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish and with his help, we're gonna complete it.

457
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,200

493
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: me and my daughter was sitting with the producer and

494
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: he really helped me on. He did it for me.

495
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: He helped me on, help me to really realize that

496
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: my words and even with Travis Green, he wrote Finished.

497
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: I sit and talk to him for about about an

498
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: hour of what I wanted to talk about it. He

499
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: took all my words and put them into Finished and

500
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: the same thing that he did it for me with

501
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: feel and all of us just working together. It's like

502
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: he helped my confidence come alive, you know, like dealing

503
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: with sometimes you know, it takes you switching up and

504
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: doing some with somebody else to see to stir up

505
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: the gift in you, you know. And that's what's happened

506
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: on this album, that I realized that my words can

507
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: be good, and that that they are important, and that

508
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: they're not too small, that they can be that they

509
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: can be used. Absolutely. You know that when she said phil,

510
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: she's talking about Philip Bryant and my boy are Kurt

511
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: Franklin knows on the al Travis Green, who I love.

512
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: I loved it. I gotta get him back on the

513
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: show and then you have my boy. I called him

514
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: the Church Outlaw Todd. The lady tell him Outlaw, that

515
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: is little for him. How do you get the church

516
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: outlaw all your album? Church girl? Huh? Overcome cons He

517
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: did it for me. I called Ted and I said, Todd,

518
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about finishing. I said, I wanted

519
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: to talk about the work that we've begun and the

520
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: Lord to finish. And when I tell you, he kind

521
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: of me back, and I was it was a scratch

522
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: of him playing on the piano, and I said, man,

523
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: I said, this is it. But we wound up going

524
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: to Chicago with his band and singers and recording it

525
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: live with his producer, and man, I tell you, it

526
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: was so it was like a heavenly experience. And he

527
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,239
Speaker 1: was in a in a sanctu where with just us

528
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: and just a very few people that work at the church.

529
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: But when I tell you, it was like the Lord

530
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: met us there. And I'm I'm so excited because it's

531
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: like another side of me that no one's seen or

532
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: heard on finished work. And I'm just I'm just geet

533
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: and nervous forever. You know, of course, when you come

534
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: with new music, you don't know what people gonna receive

535
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: and all that. But I just believe in my heart

536
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: that that God has given me it's gonna really be

537
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: able to bless the people. And that's my goal is

538
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: to bring hope. It's a ration and let people know

539
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: that the mercies of God still exist on this earth

540
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: and everybody is not out to get us, and that

541
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 1: we can accomplish those things that God has begun on us.

542
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: He's a healer that he can heal us of all

543
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: manner of diseases that's going on in the world. We

544
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: don't have to walk in fear. If we do, we

545
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: need to do and do what we're supposed to do.

546
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna work at it. We're gonna be fun Tamla.

547
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: You know I I Rita Franklin, one of our time favorites,

548
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: and when she did the amazing Grace and i'mna be

549
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: honest with you. Um, every time I see you, I

550
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: see I see that moment. There's gonna be a moment

551
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: when you're gonna just settle into understanding all your blessings.

552
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: Like that's why this album is special. Overcome or because

553
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: you you finally step past the things that said my

554
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: words have value, you know you can write it down

555
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: and it can mean something to somebody else because it

556
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: means something to meet next to that journey you went

557
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,560

587
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: with you in the hood. But I gotta go back

588
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: to the family or not. And my daughter till the

589
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: youngest one vocal produced me in the album. She had

590
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: her hand and everything. Uh and her her boyfriend name

591
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: is Justin Pearson. They're actually sitting right here with me

592
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: right now, and it's amazing how they were able to help.

593
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: They took a relief off of David SR. And they

594
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: were they stepped into the role, and I mean they

595
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: really stepped into the role to help me with this thing.

596
00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: And it's been incredible. Just to see her develop and

597
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: and for her skills to come out, and for all

598
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: of us to see that this hidden and fear that

599
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: she's had, it's like finally she's stepping into herself and

600
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: into her own And you know, even like everybody, you know,

601
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: with my other daughter that works in the in the

602
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: company Porsche and then David Jr. Everybody is finding their

603
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: rightful place, which is causing the company to grow. And

604
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I have to pray hard because once

605
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: everything gets really smooth, the enemy tries to show his

606
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: head and and it's like, of course to try to

607
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: bring discord and make try to mess things up. But

608
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: he's doing his job. That's why I have to stay

609
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: on my job praying. And we have to stay on

610
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,160
