So her name is Christianity McDonald's. But 79 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: thank you. Now let's talk about this book. Before we 80 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: talk about book, let's talk about now that the movie 81 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: been out, you know, because when I interviewed you, the 82 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: movie came out. But now we've had a year of 83 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: the movie being out. How has that transformed your life? 84 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: The movie I'm talking about is The Clark's Sisters First 85 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: Ladies of Gospel. Well, it has changed my life in 86 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: so many ways. One way is when I go to 87 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: the store now, I seem like more people know who 88 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: I am and they're relating to me as Karen or 89 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: calling me Karen. So it has changed my life in 90 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: that way. But it also stretched me to be honest 91 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: um trying to portray my mother vocally and just as 92 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: a person because she's so gracious and she's like a 93 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: quiet storm who is not intimidated by people. But it 94 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: comes off as like an innocence or like a it's 95 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: just so soft. I had to kind of pull back 96 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: while working on that role. So it's changed my life 97 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: as a woman, and I think it prepared me to 98 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: not knowing then while I was actually doing the role 99 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: as a single woman that is preparing me to be 100 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: a wife and a mother, just to see things differently. Um, 101 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: so it really has changed my life in so many ways. 102 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: Of course it was a resume builder, but it was 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: me performing for my mother, and so it was really 104 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: special for me. But it was special in a lot 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: of ways because you know, you reveal, you pull back 106 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: to the curtain. In other words, you know, they told 107 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: a story about your grandmother, told a story about your 108 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: mom and her sister's experience in dealing with your grandmother. 109 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: Someone was rather sensitive, and which is great because it 110 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: was a story about a woman pushing her children to 111 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: be the best that they could be. And I kind 112 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: of take that away and fast forward. I look at 113 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: the book Big, Bold and Beautiful. That book is about 114 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: pushing you and your friends pushing you and helping you 115 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: and supporting you to be the best key key you 116 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: can be? Is that correct? Absolutely? And I'm it's so 117 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: important because you know, I'm a woman to face. So 118 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: I believe in the scripture when it says that iron 119 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: sharping's iron. And I was just talking to my friend 120 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: Tasha Covs Lenard and she brought out a great point, 121 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: she said, Keith, when you say iron sharping's iron, it 122 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: could be negative iron that's sharpening negative iron ore. It 123 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: could be positive versus positive. And so I think it's 124 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: so important what I talked about it in the book 125 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: Self Care has everything to do with your squad. You know, 126 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: how they're pouring into you, how they're pushing you into destiny, 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: how they're reminding you of the promises of God. You 128 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: have people around you who's always picking at you, and 129 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: negative Nancy or negative Joe or whoever you want to 130 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: call it. It's like it'll drain you and it cause 131 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: you to believe the complete opposite of what you've been dreaming. 132 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: So I think it's so important to be very particular 133 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: what who's in your space, because you can ask somebody 134 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: that's against you and they can cover themselves up. It's 135 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: like a what do they say, a wolve in sheep's clothing. 136 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: So it's so important that we are selective in that area. Yes, well, 137 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: you know it's important we talk about this. I'm a 138 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: slow everything down because I want everybody to understand the 139 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: value of this book. And it's not a value that 140 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: just a female gender can can take. Nugget to wait. 141 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm a successful in person in this business. I'm a male. 142 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: And when I started reading the book, I went, okay, 143 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: relatable because one of the chapters where you talk about 144 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: I always have a phrase, you know, you can't save everyone. 145 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: You know, you only have one life jacket. You gotta 146 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: let them go. You talk about it in one of 147 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: your chapters about that about people around you and not 148 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: understanding that you know, you can't worry sometimes about other 149 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: people's rent or the food on their table if they're 150 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: not if they don't worry body. And there's a chapter 151 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: about that, and it was really from a business and 152 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: from a life perspective. I was floored at the relatability 153 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: because I go, wow, this is how I think. And 154 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: so when some people do memoirs and you're such a 155 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: young person, I'm gonna I'm gonna remind you that you're 156 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: a young person. And but you also say I've lived 157 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: an adults life, you know, and so and we're gonna 158 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: get into that in the book, because but let's talk 159 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: about that. The whole chapter where you wrote about people 160 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: around you, and then you're taking it personal how you 161 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: should treat them. You over worry about them, what they 162 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: think about you, because it does as an entrepreneur, beyond 163 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: a relationship can be damaging. Correct, absolutely, And one thing 164 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: that I've learned, and I talked about it in the book, 165 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: is that when dealing with people, you have to understand 166 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: you're not just dealing with what you have on the surface, 167 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: but you're also dealing with the culture that they've come from, 168 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 1: the trauma that they've experienced. So you're not just responding 169 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: in that moment to the comment they made. It's a 170 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: lot of things that are behind that statement, you know, 171 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: when we communicate with each other or sometimes and I'm 172 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: nowhere in the culture now where everybody is living for 173 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: the read ready to let somebody have it. I'm about 174 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: to show this person sleep while sleep. But I guess 175 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: for me, the way I have been moving through life, 176 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: what has changed my perspective is to simply understand you're 177 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: not just responding to the person. You're responding to their 178 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: life circumstances that have molded them into who they are today. 179 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: And some people do things and it's not everything should 180 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: not be taken personally. So I absolutely agree with you. 181 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: And if we don't have that understanding, and if we're 182 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: always taking things personally will always be responding to any 183 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: and everything to where it will take so much energy. 184 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: It will shift our focus off of what we really 185 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: should be focused on onto that person and just that scenario. 186 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: And so I have had to learn that the picture 187 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: is bigger than me. It's it's so far beyond one moment, 188 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: like be a student at every opportunity you get. But 189 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: even in the book I talk about, it's a chapter 190 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: called making the most of every Opportunity, and I just 191 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: that absolutely Chapter four, that's the chapter where Shimika, you know, 192 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: and y'all went to West Africa, you know. And because 193 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: y'all read your book now I read your book. Now, 194 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: it's the beauty of this book. Okay, uh, we're talking 195 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: about I'm talking to Keiki or kre She or Kelly. 196 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Jordan in a minute, you know, 197 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: because she had to she had to figure out how 198 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: to find him, and she talks about that journey because 199 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: sometimes you know, at one point in life. Let me 200 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: get ahead of the story, because I want to go 201 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: back a little bit about this is why I really 202 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: loved the book. Because you're you're beautiful, your your your faith, 203 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: you come from a legacy, family or gospel, and sometimes 204 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: people can see a certain degree of perfection. And we 205 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit in your book, you know, 206 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: the Silver Spoon chapter, Yeah, and finding yourself. And in 207 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: the process of that, when you talk about the bad relationship, 208 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: I went, wow, you know, because people don't think you 209 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: have a bad she said, people don't think that you 210 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: have bad days. And I felt to me. And it's 211 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: written early on in the book, because I thought that 212 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: was important, because any young reader, especially young women readers. 213 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: I thought that was important that you allowed yourself to 214 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: show us the side of you that we didn't see. 215 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: We see we see success, we see awards, we see 216 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: a happy marriage, we see photo ops in essence and 217 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: magazines and online. But that was important that you wrote 218 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: the truth to a degree of showing people that I 219 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: am just like you. I have bad days, I make 220 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: mistakes in the men that I select, I am not perfect. 221 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: Tell us about the importance of that. Well, first, it's 222 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: important at one scenario that I remember when I started 223 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: to understand the significance in the process of healing is 224 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: when I fell off of a bike. And I think 225 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: I talked about this in the book, but I fell 226 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: off of a bike and my mom, of course, she 227 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: told me, you know what to do, go ahead and 228 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: put on a band aid, but she noticed that I 229 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: kept getting in the tub and taking showers with the 230 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: same band aid, not cleaning it, and just the sore 231 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: or the scalp began to get soggy, so it wasn't 232 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: healing properly. So it was becoming something more than what 233 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: it actually was in that moment. So speaking of transparency 234 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: and letting these things out, it's a part of healing. 235 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: You have to let oxygen into your wound so that 236 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: they can heal properly. And that's what I'm doing through 237 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: my life and through me speaking about it, through me 238 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: talking about it. But not only that. This form appealing 239 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: which as a woman of faith, there's a scripture that says, 240 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: confess your thoughts one to another that you may receive healing. 241 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: Therapy did not come from culture. Therapy came from God. 242 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: He says, I'm gonna give you people that you can 243 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: talk to. But the latter part of that scripture says, 244 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: the prayers are the righteous avail. If much, it's just 245 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: all in who I talked to. If I'm talking to 246 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: the right person, A righteous individual. I can trust that 247 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: then they can carry my secrets, carry my issues, and 248 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: then take them to God because I need someone to 249 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: take me to God or carry me to a God 250 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: when I can't get myself to them. And so that 251 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: even speaks to the self squad piece of it. But 252 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to be transparent here, because I 253 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: want you to know that I can relate. And I 254 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: think the connectivity again, like we've mentioned, it's all in 255 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: providing a solution for someone who may feel like they're alone. 256 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: Very often will soak in it, will get into depression, 257 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: will become anxious, and it's because we feel like we're alone. 258 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: And so with this conversational approach and me hoping that 259 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: the reader would be like, you know what, this is 260 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: my girl, I can relate, I connect I'm hoping that 261 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: they will become free from listening and reading to that 262 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: so reading the book. So that was my whole intent. 263 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: Transparency is healing me, but it's in return healing the 264 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: reader as well.

But I wanted to talk about 307 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: it because I had to get it wrong for me 308 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: to understand what was right. And that's what led me 309 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: to my husband. Now this healthy relationship. Like before, I 310 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: was like, Hey, I want to pray in my relationships, 311 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: or I want you to call me a little bit 312 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: more often, send me a text check on me. In 313 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: another relationship, that was too much for them. But now 314 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: that I'm with my husband, and just in the first 315 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: dating steps of you know, with Jordan's, he showed me 316 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: that I wasn't too much. It was just that I 317 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: was asking someone who only had a pint um to 318 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: pour into this gallon size of Now I'm with Jordan's, 319 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: he can give me a gallant. I can give him 320 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: a gallant with filling each other up. And so that's 321 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: why I wanted to tell young women that to the 322 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: other problem was speaking of young people. My father told 323 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: me the rude word of dating is data. Talk about 324 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: money making conversations. We put up ourselves for discount, Louis Vitton, 325 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: don't go on discount. Why do you think you need 326 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: to put yourself up on discount? So make sure you 327 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: understand that you don't have to play wife to someone 328 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: that's only making themselves available as boyfriend. Play the game, 329 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: and as Steve Harvey said, think act like a woman, 330 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: but think like a man. And so that's why I 331 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: had to play the game and I had to learn Listen, 332 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: I may not be your cup of tea, but I'm 333 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: for show a hot, spicy comp of tea. It's some 334 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: it's some ginger in there. Okay, I'm telling you, this 335 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: is the book. This is the book. I'm like, I'm 336 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: t I am so excited, you know this, this whole book, 337 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: The Big Bowl and Beautiful Owning the woman God made 338 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: you to be. And that's just a sample size of 339 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: what came out and just hit me in my face 340 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: in a positive way because this is We're in an 341 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: interesting life because, like you said, when you was eighteen, 342 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: in the period when you hit the record labels, they 343 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: only take pictures of your face and profiles. They didn't 344 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: really want to take a picture of your full body. 345 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: That was before you know, the curved dove came out 346 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: with those curvy ads and the curvy full figure models 347 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: were hitting the runways and all that. Talk about that period. 348 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: Because I have a lot of parents listening to the show, 349 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: and I may have some young adults, especially women, and 350 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 1: this is about the section. I really want to focus 351 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: on the women conversation because men in journal don't have 352 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: the physical size issues that women have to deal with, 353 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: because commercials tell you should look like this, commercial print 354 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: asks tell you should wear this size and things like that, 355 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna get into you being launching that 356 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: that that what someone would consider a negative experience into 357 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: a successful business eleven sixty. But talk about when you 358 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: was eighteen at the record label. Yeah, I'm so excited 359 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: that you read. But I have to say, um, that 360 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: was an interesting experience. And I think I mentioned before 361 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: while we were talking. Sometimes you have this pushback from 362 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: areas that you didn't expect it, and it can be 363 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: from places that you trusted, hoping that it will be 364 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: a place to that would build you up. But that's 365 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: the moment where you figure out, oh you're therena tear 366 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: me down. It was just you had to get in 367 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: good with me. And so I definitely had that that 368 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: experience where, um, you know, I just dealt with industry 369 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: pressure and um it's simple as I am, I often 370 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: still have to tell people, you know, listen, I love 371 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: God I'm a simple girl. I don't want to always 372 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: put on and I think this, uh, the new culture 373 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: and even the listeners and the demo, they're learning that 374 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: I don't got to do all of that, you know, anymore. 375 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: And if I don't, there is an audience that is 376 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: waiting to hear from me. And of course, now I'm 377 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: not saying don't change your position in heart, because I 378 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: think it's so important that we remain students at heart, 379 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: because that's what makes you timeless. But I think, uh, 380 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: the other piece that young women should know it is 381 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: to not compare yourselves. Uh. I think Theodore Roosevelt said 382 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: before that comparison is the thief of joy. You'll find 383 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: yourself trying to catch up with culture saying is the 384 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,239 Speaker 1: pretty thing to do or the thing to do, and 385 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: find that it's unobtainable for you because that was never 386 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: for you, that wasn't assigned to you. And so speaking 387 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: of the word big in this this book, uh, it was. 388 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: It was an insecurity for me once upon a time. 389 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: But I had to stop asking people what they thought 390 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: about me in my life, and I had to ask God, 391 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: what do you think? Let me ask the inventor about 392 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: his invention rather than going with people. That's just trying 393 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: to figure out how do I stay in touch with you. 394 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: But I have those chapters in the book, and one 395 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: chapter chapter eight, and says, stop comparing you stole my 396 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm so mad at you. You stole my thought because 397 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm about to say that chapter eight. I'm about to 398 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: say stop comparing yourself. It's chapter eight. You're making me mad. Now, 399 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: I gotta let you know I love this book, girl, 400 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: I love the book. That's chapter eight. You just recited 401 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: chapter eight, Yes, sir, And I was gonna throw out 402 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: that chapter um chapter fourteen to where I say, stop 403 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: looking at the other woman because you've got the Jews. Sometimes. 404 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: The court I love out of chapter eight is no 405 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: one had the power to be me. Yeah, that's and 406 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: that's the quote I wrote down out of chapter eight. 407 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: That's why I still with me, because you know, you know, 408 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: I'm having a great conversation and with you, and I 409 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: just want to just let you know that it resonated 410 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: with me because in the end, you know, writing the book, 411 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: you know, I've been fortunate to be around individuals who 412 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: have written a successful book. And as you start to write, 413 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: you have a story but then you start taking layers 414 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: off and you go, wow, I forgot about that. I 415 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: forgot about that. And then I know in writing this book, 416 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: layers are starting to get peel back. And it's also 417 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: is a relief, Like like you said, to be able 418 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: to tell your story was a blessing for the reader, 419 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: but also a blessing from you for you because of 420 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: the fact that you would able to get these layers 421 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: out and realize how much you've grown as a person. 422 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: Because at one point in your life you just want 423 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: to get married. You just felt there was a need 424 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: to get married. And I want to bring that up 425 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: because sometimes a man in this case, because you're a woman, 426 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: a man would walk into your life, that doesn't mean 427 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: that's the man. And and and that's what this book 428 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: talks about because the man that she eventually got with, 429 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: who had that gallon of water because she needed a 430 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: gallon of water, she had known him all her life. 431 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: He had been walking around all his and he didn't 432 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: even know it either. So it wasn't on her. It 433 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: wasn't just on her not seeing that that that they 434 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: both were walking into church or walking through life half field. 435 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: They had eventually slowed down and realized we've been looking 436 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: at the wrong opportunity when the opportunity was sitting right 437 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: across the aisle in this case church. Talk about that. 438 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: Come on, I know, preaching a little bit for your 439 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: MISSI Kiki. You know what I'm saying. You are driving 440 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: jails and I'm loving it. Um, I can only agree 441 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: with you. I think to a part of that evolution 442 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: for me was me having the time of being single. 443 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: So there's also a chapter in the book where I 444 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: talk about being successfully single because you have to find 445 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: yourself because, like you said, every person that comes in 446 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: your life that ain't always the one. And I think 447 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: it goes back a point to the again to the 448 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: point that Dad mentioned, which was date the person, collect 449 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: the information so you can draw the conclusion or the 450 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: final result. So I definitely agree. I think you said 451 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: it all. But again my husband showed me that no, 452 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: you're not complicated. It's just you were asking the wrong 453 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: person to love on you and they weren't equipped to 454 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: give you what you needed. And so I definitely agree 455 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: with that all. And I think too, if we're not 456 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: careful because we are in the wrong place, will begin settling. 457 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: We'll say I've been asking for this. I've been praying 458 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: for this, and we'll look at everybody else's like like 459 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: I said, once upon a time, what was Sierra's prayer 460 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: with russell Um? And so I understand what that's like. 461 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: But we also have to get to a place where 462 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm not settling for anything outside of what I asked for, Like, no, 463 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: that's out there. If God put it in you uh 464 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: to ask for it in prayer, if you have the 465 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: audacity to think of it, then it's obtainable. It's just 466 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: make sure you're available and open to love. But I 467 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: was so closed off and wanting one thing to work 468 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: that I completely had shut off every you know, all 469 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: of the great possibilities.

That's because that's what I think, 518 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: like a man, Uh did for a lot of women. 519 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: It just opened their eyes.

She said, hey, come 531 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: with me, girl, let's go over here. Let's keep supporting you. 532 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: And so, but these are the people that you talk about. 533 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: You layout you said, Richard, you gotta have the people 534 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: because you know, it was funny when you were talking 535 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: about Courtney, I was thinking about my ride to die? Dude, 536 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: who was that person? So you made me sit back 537 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: and go, Okay, Mr Successful, who is your courtney, because 538 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: you gotta have a courtney. You gotta have somebody to 539 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: call when you die, because you're gonna have down days, 540 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: you have doubtful days. Who was that person? But more importantly, 541 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: that led you to become an entrepreneur and that's where 542 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: you had you know, your your other girl stepping in 543 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: when your travel made with all over the world career, 544 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: everything for your business, and was sitting right there with 545 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: you in Macy's launching. Your didn't know what you was 546 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: really doing, but you did it. That's his faith. But 547 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: there was also having somebody support your dream, talk about that. 548 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: It's important. And I've been in a space where I've 549 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: had people around that we're there, you know, just by 550 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: work and happenstance, but they weren't really in my corner. 551 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: They didn't understand my vision um and it's like, you know, okay, 552 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: how do we collaborate together? How are we? You know? 553 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: Life partners is not just in the marriage and has 554 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: everything to to do with your purpose. When you make 555 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: decisions in your work or in your career, it shouldn't 556 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: feel like work. It should feel like fun, like I'm 557 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: just I'm just living on purpose. This is just what 558 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm called to do. And I think that when you're 559 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: prayerful and asking God Lord, give me this sense of 560 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: dissernment so I can know who is assigned to me 561 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: and who's supposed to watch this journey for me or 562 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: with me. Because there are expiration dates on some relationships 563 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: and connections that we have. But if we don't respect them, 564 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: then we'll get exasperated, we can become sick. It's like 565 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: if we drink some milk that has an expiration date 566 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: on it, eventually it will make us sick. Our bodies 567 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: won't respond well to it. And so it's this aint 568 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: thing with people. So you said it again from reading 569 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: the book, but it's so important to make sure that 570 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: tribe and I talk about it again twice. So it 571 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: was Squad goes and then it was another chapter called 572 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: finding your Tribe. When you're going out into the earth, 573 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: you it's not you can't fight everything. You need somebody 574 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: to have your back. And so those names that you called, 575 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: they're simply women who I have said it is family. 576 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: And you know what, if you allow me as a 577 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: woman of faith, I'm always giving scripture. But there's a 578 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: scripture that says, um I will give you a friend 579 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: that is closer than the brother that wasn't Jesus that 580 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: they were talking about. They were talking about human beings, 581 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: and so I think we should understand that covenant relationships 582 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: are ordained by Heaven and God loves us through people. 583 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: But it's just a matter of who are the people 584 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: were saying yes to. Because the adversary the appoint the 585 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: opponent that he also uses people. So make sure you 586 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: say yes to the right people. Wow. You know, um, 587 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: I think that I expected this from you. Uh, and 588 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: that don't apologize. Uh, It's been an inspirational but the 589 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: whole prospect though, would you say it is faith? When 590 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: you was at Macy's with Shamika, your girl, you're you're 591 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: rider die Korea, you know, Dubai. I'm just we're just 592 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: calling out some countries that y'all went to, you know, 593 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: in West Africa. You know. Just let you know, you 594 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: boy read the book, you know, just this case. You 595 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: thought I was stumbling. You know, I'm not reading nothing. 596 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm not reading nothing. I'm just I'm just I'm just 597 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: coming from you know, God's membory. That's all. That's all 598 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing. God God's spending right here, but but you 599 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: thank you so much. I think it was it was. 600 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: It was a faith piece for sure, because um it, 601 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: I looked at it as spam when my cousin Keisha 602 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: sent it to me, I was like, girl, you know 603 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: how they send those chain text messages and they say 604 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: signed up for this, and I'm like, I'm not signing 605 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: up for this, Like it was just like whatever. So 606 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: I really wasn't expecting every opportunity, even this book opportunity, 607 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: if you allow me to use that as a reference point. 608 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: The opportunity was in an email account that I just 609 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: had put aside for spam. But something told me, and 610 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: you know again, excuse me, I'm a church girl, so 611 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: you're know how the scene the season says, they say, girl, 612 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: that wasn't something that was the whole a goals. But 613 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: something told me to go and check the email and 614 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: here I am bumping into a book opportunity. And so 615 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: I definitely think it was divine. But I think and 616 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: I believe, that God uses people to hand you what 617 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: belongs to you, that he gives you those moments. And 618 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: that's why I said it in that chapter, Um, God 619 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: as my agent, because sometimes you know pr management they 620 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean believe me when I say they put in 621 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: the hard work and it has everything to do with 622 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: where we're going and where we are. But sometimes God 623 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: does things so that only he can get the glory. 624 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: And so I will say, you know, God took me there, 625 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: but there was some other moments where I had to 626 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: work for it. So even in the word it says 627 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: you gotta put action to your faith so you can 628 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: believe a thing. But what you're gonna do when you 629 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: get there? So a lot of us are like, oh, 630 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: I want this, I want that, I want this, I 631 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: want that, But are you ready for it? Is your 632 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: character gonna keep you there? Is your work ethic gonna 633 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: keep you there. So I definitely think it is two 634 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: things that are colliding together, and it is my faith 635 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: and my action. I'm just I've been loving it. You know. 636 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: I rarely do I have interviews whereas a motivational This 637 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: motivational interview right here, you just dropping these nuggers. I 638 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: was just sitting back on do your thing. You're do 639 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: your thing? What do I pass to plate? What do 640 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: I pass to play? Because you are dropping scriptures, you're 641 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: dropping the truth. But more importantly, you've written an amazing book, big, 642 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: bold and beautiful, Owning the woman God made. I love 643 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: this part owning the woman God made you to be. 644 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: That's it's not about your mistakes that you made in 645 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: the past. It's not about what people think of you now, 646 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: it's who what do you think of yourself? And that's 647 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: what this journey is about in this book. Because if 648 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: every woman who reads this book, I'll just tell you 649 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: this woman, because I'm talking, I grew up with six sisters, 650 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: I have only one child.
