17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: I'm good. Thank you for having me with Sean.

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: First of all, being an attorney was that something you

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: dreamed of?

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: It is? I actually knew I wanted to be an

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: attorney since I was in third grade. I had a

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: teacher that asked me what I wanted to be, and

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: being a person that likes to talk and debate and

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: just liking to I just challenge other people against an argument.

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: I knew very very early that I wanted to be

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: an attorney.

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: So so again the attorney was now argument and debating.

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Now you just well, you just one of those people

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: just wanted to have to get the last word.

30
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: Is still sometimes I want to get the last one.

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: Oh, your coach Tessa, you know she ain't gonna let

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: nobody talk but her. Here's your come, here's your come.

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: Now.

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Now when you see a talent like that, I will

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: be a front. I'll be upfront with everybody about my life.

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Is that I didn't really know what I wanted to be.

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: And for you just say you wanted to have that?

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: You had that vision so early. What compelled you? Was

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: it your surroundings with somebody, something you saw on TV

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: that made you say, you know, that's what I want

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: to be.

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: Well, kind of like what you're saying, I always had,

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, this idea that I like to argue. I

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: love debating, I love strategizing about a debate. And if

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: I could win an argument with anybody, a sibling, a pair,

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: or anybody. It just kind of inspired me. I just

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: liked arguing either side, it didn't matter. And so when

48
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: I realized that, I that there was a career for

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: people who liked the art of debate. That's what drove

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: me to do that. So it wasn't necessarily my surrounding,

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: it was more my personality. Some people learn to litigate.

52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: I feel like I was born to litigate. I liked

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: the challenge and the art of trial work and just

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: strategizing debate.

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: Wow, I like that. Now when you look at turn

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: on the radio, personal injury commercials dominate the airwaves, and

57
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: so that means that the legal profession people have one

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: version of it right now being pounded in who they sponsored,

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: evening news, they have commercials, it's all types of broadcast

60
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: is making it available for personal injury talking about how

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: much they can win for you, how much you can

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: give you come to us. If that version is not

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: the version of law that you practiced, Why did you

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: choose the version of law that you're practicing now?

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: Well, as I talk to people and tell them all

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: the time, I am a project ghetto born and raised,

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: and what I thought around me was a lot of

68
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: strange suffering, a lot of arrest, a lot of team pregnancy,

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: which I was a team in, a high school drop

70
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: out myself, and just seeing that around me, I grew

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: up with a very unhealthy idea of the justice system.

72
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: I saw a lot of friends and family members and

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: neighbors getting arrested. I didn't always believe that what happened

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: was fair, didn't believe that the police were honest, and

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: I wanted to go into criminal justice as a way

76
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: to argue for my community, for my family members, and

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: have someone fight for them and have their voice heard

78
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: if they ever found themselves in that situation, because I

79
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: didn't feel like that was something that I saw growing up.

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Now, that's interesting because you said something very casually because

81
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: you've overcome it. You said teen pregnancy and high school

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: drop off, and now you are very prominent lawyer, family

83
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: lawyer that practiced crimin law as well over two thousand cases.

84
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: How did that happen being a teen mom and what

85
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: age was it that you became a teen mom?

86
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Well, I was pregnant at fifteen. I had my first

87
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: child as a sixteen year old, and my second child

88
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: at eighteen. Third child at twenty one, I am the

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: prow mother of seven children today. And how I got

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: from being a teen mom to where I I am now,

91
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: which is the proud owner of a multimillion dollar law

92
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: firm in Atlanta, Georgia, was nothing other than dreaming it,

93
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: seeing it, and then persistently going after time and time

94
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: and time again. The first time I can imagine to

95
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: even begin to tell you how many hurdles and obstacles

96
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: were there, but just seeing that vision and that dream

97
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: so clearly, and staying the course whatever comes, just having

98
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: the will to go over it. And when I had

99
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: my first child, it was very uneventful. Unfortunately everybody around

100
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: me and all the girls around me were pregnant teens,

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: and a lot of the guys, including some of my

102
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: family members, were in the system, in prison or in

103
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: on probation or some sort of custody. And when I

104
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: had my daughter, my second chalid eighteen.

105
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: Sixteen year old. Because that's you know that right there

106
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: is usually with shuts down opportunities, and when you read

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: about it, you know the dreams, you know, become a

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: welfare our kids, second, third, or four, or may go to drugs,

109
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: may go to a minimum wage opportunities. There are no

110
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: extended version of educations after that. At sixteen years of age,

111
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: What did your family, how did your family react to

112
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: that and how did they come to your to your assistance.

113
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: Well, my family didn't actually did not react surprised. Like

114
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: I said, everybody around me, it was the norm to

115
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: be sixteen and have a baby. Like there's a lot

116
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: of teen pregnancy unfortunately. What's states this in Florida, Okay, Florida, Coco, Florida, Okatrobe, Florida.

117
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: There's a lot of team moms. There's a lot of

118
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: teenage boys and sometimes girls that are already in the system,

119
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: whether it's juvenile or sell any system early. So it

120
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: was the norm. It was not a shock. Or had

121
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: family members that were teen moms, so it wasn't anything

122
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: that really shocked them, and they rallied around my mom,

123
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: my mom, my siblings. They all helped with my son,

124
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: and so it was very uneventful in my life. But

125
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: when I had my second child at eighteen, it was

126
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: her girl, and that changed everything. She was six eight

127
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: six to eight weeks old and someone was visiting and

128
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: they told me that she looked like me. And you

129
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: know how you have that moment that just kind of

130
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: stops you in your track and you get a big

131
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: frog in your throat you can't swallow. When the first

132
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: time that someone told me my daughter looked like me,

133
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: it moved the rest of my life. I felt like,

134
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: if she looked like me, she may want to be

135
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: like me. And so I felt like I needed to

136
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: be something that she was proud of. And so when

137
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: she went to school on career day and talk about

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: her mom, she would have a story that she could

139
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: be proud of. My mom does this mom? I didn't

140
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: want to say, my mom is, you know, work at McDonald's.

141
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: No knock at McDonald's, employee us or anything. But that's

142
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: not what I wanted for my daughter to aspire to

143
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: be if she was aspiring to be like her mom.

144
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: And so that changed everything going forward, and this mean

145
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: that I had as a little girl now became real

146
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: a goal more than just a dream at that point,

147
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: it was a goal.

148
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: So were you in high school?

149
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: Drop out at that point, Tessa that pregnancy? I did

150
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: drop out with that pregnancy. I dropped out with that

151
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: pregnancy because I missed a lot of school and they

152
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: told me I had to come back and go to

153
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: summer school, and me being the defiant person, I decided

154
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: I was done with school. That year was my senior year.

155
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't coming back. I was going to college in

156
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: the fall. So that's what I did. I went and

157
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: got a GED and went to community college and I

158
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: got an AA. So I had decided that was my

159
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: senior year. And that's so that's what it was.

160
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: So once you got focused, it was you were relentless.

161
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: Yes that is a good word.

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: But you know, because the story, you know, people are

163
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: listening to this story, and thank you for sharing your

164
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: story on Money Making Conversation Masterclass, because it's about motivation,

165
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: it's about overcoming the arts. I'm talking to attorney Tessa

166
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: Deep and what's uh started a team practicing sixteen fifteen,

167
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: going on sixteen. Now she runs a multi million dollar

168
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: law practice, family law practice in Atlanta, Georgia. And how

169
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: proud are you when you say that to yourself that

170
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: you run a multi million dollar law practice in Atlanta, Georgia,

171
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: knowing where you've come from.

172
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: Tessa, you know, honestly, sometimes I still am in shock

173
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: and in awe of how far I came. When I

174
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: look back at that little girl as an eight year old,

175
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: nine year old, ten year girl. Hell, even looking back

176
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: as a sixteen year old eighteen year old, because it

177
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: was such a long road, so many curves, so many valleys.

178
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: It still amazes me. And when I say multimillion, I

179
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 2: mean we have barely even scratched the service of where

180
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: we're going to do. The growth we hit in twenty

181
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: twenty four, our goal is to double that this year.

182
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: So the aggression will never stop. If I wanted, I

183
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 2: am absolutely going to give it everything in my power

184
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: to go get it.

185
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Now, So how did how do?

186
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: How?

187
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the journey because you mentioned a

188
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of kids here, and I'm sure it's a strong

189
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: man in your life who allows you to be able

190
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: to be yourself. Also your husband. Now you had did

191
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: you was there any other experiences after college? Did you

192
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: do the military? Did you do go to a four

193
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: year institution? How did? What were the next steps? After

194
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: your second child? And you got your GED?

195
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: Well, after I got my GED, I didn't know how

196
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: I was going to pay for college, and so I

197
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: decided to enlist in the military. And because I was

198
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: a high school dropout, they required me to have a

199
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: two year degree to join, and so I got my

200
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: two year degree and I went in and me being

201
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: the fertile myrtle that I am, I got pregnant when

202
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: I came home for the Christmas break. I went in

203
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: like in November and everybody got to go home for

204
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: two weeks being on birth control. To make a long

205
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: story short, I still got pregnant. I was released from

206
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: the military and on my way home, I had a miscarriage.

207
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: I had a miscarriage that you never even know. But Rashona,

208
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: the you're the crazy thing is I would have never

209
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: ever known that I was even pregnant if I hadn't

210
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: made friends with my drill sergeant and I was trying

211
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: to get out of doing a drill. He allowed me

212
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: to go through the clinic and they did a routine

213
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: test and something that I was pregnant. The interesting thing

214
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: about that, though, when I went to the military, my

215
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: drill sergeant, and you know, the first day or two

216
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: people had pointed me out and came to me and

217
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: were commenting on my score. And I honestly don't even

218
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: remember what it was, but they were coming to me

219
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: talking about my test score, how high it was, and

220
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: why are you here You're incredibly smart. You should be

221
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: doing something else.

222
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: This is it for you?

223
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking to myself, well, I need to pay

224
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: for college, so it might not be for me, but

225
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 2: this is where we are. And so when I got out, okay, well,

226
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: my plan B is to figure out a no way

227
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: to face the college because that's the only reason why

228
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: I was there. So I got out and finished, you know,

229
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: finished up what I was doing, and transitioned into uh

230
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: law Indiana University. It was, but I had to finish

231
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: my bass. When I got out, I finished my bachelor's

232
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: and then law school, all in Indianapolis.

233
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: Wow. So we went from Florida and Indianapolis Military stopping between.

234
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: You got two kids at this point, unfortunately. Uh my

235
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: prayers went out to you on that when you lost

236
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: your third child. So so I'm assuming because you said

237
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: it in a humorous way, Miss Fertile. Uh so you

238
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: have two kids. Did you have two kids when you

239
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: went through law school or did you have another kid

240
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: while you were in law school? I got to ask

241
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: that question, honestly, the way you're dropping these kids.

242
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: Here, Well, I was dropping online there with hot potatoes

243
00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: when I graduated undergrad when I graduated. When I graduated undergrad,

244
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: I have five children. When I graduated undergrad, I have

245
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: five kids. My ex husband and I went to law

246
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: school together. And I say this to everybody, laughing and jokingly,

247
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: but I don't even know that a lot of people

248
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: knew our name. You were just a couple with the

249
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: five kids because we started law school together, right, And

250
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: we had five kids and we started law school, and

251
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: everybody was like, oh, you should wait until your baby,

252
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: who was you know, very young, like one, You should

253
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: wait till she go to kindergarten. And I say, all

254
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: the time, what am I waiting for the same four

255
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: years are going to go by, whether she's in kindergarten

256
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: or not. So what are we waiting for? Let's go,

257
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: Let's go. And we started and she graduated kindergarten when

258
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: I graduated law school. There's nothing to wait for us.

259
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: So you are something else? Can I say that? I

260
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: have never spoken to somebody as determined as you. Five kids.

261
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, had ain't got your law degree yet. Sixteen

262
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: years old, you had a child. Eighteen year old, you

263
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: have a child? You what did the military? Unfortunately lost

264
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: a child. Now you're at Indian an US verse everybody's

265
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: telling you how fantastic, how smart you are. And that's

266
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about living in these communities that don't

267
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: really push our children because they don't understand we just

268
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: trying to survive. I grew up in that type of community,

269
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, fifth ward. My father was a truck driver.

270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: My mom, she went to college. You went to high school,

271
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: didn't go to college. Six sisters, two brothers. We loved,

272
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, in two bedroom, shotgun house. And so I

273
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: know that they wanted me to be successful. They wanted

274
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: me to be good. But guess what. When I graduated

275
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: from high school, I became a forklift driver. That's what

276
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: I became a forklift driver. So the same people that

277
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: saw you in the military testa when you should you

278
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: don't need to be here. You can be better than this,

279
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: you can be better than this. What were you saying

280
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: yourself when they were telling you those things.

281
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: I didn't really believe that I was smart at all

282
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: I knew was me, and so I felt like I

283
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: was smart, but it didn't feel like anything exceptional, Like

284
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: I didn't I wasn't my own cheerleader. Then it was

285
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: just okay, whatever, I need to do this in order

286
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: to get to there. So I wasn't. I was never

287
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: wrapped up in anybody else's praises of me. I didn't

288
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: take compliments. Well, so you were telling me that I'm

289
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: smart means nothing. My smartness haven't shown me how to

290
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: pay for college and this is how I know how

291
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: to do that. So I only discounted it like whatever.

292
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: I didn't pay it a whole lot of attention.

293
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,560

302
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: Am I being? Am I understating what has happened in

303
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: your life? Or am I hitting it right on the

304
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: nail on the head?

305
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: You are hitting the nail on the head. Absolutely, do

306
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: you do public speaking?

307
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,240

308

Speaker 1: got to be. You are an absolute motivator, and you're

309
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: so casual about it. I'm gonna tell you something. What

310
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: you know this story? I don't know who's it driving

311
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: around the car, sitting at home, probably eating while they

312
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: listening to this interview. But what you're talking about is

313
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: pretty pretty impressive for a sixteen year old team. AM

314
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: eighteen year old team, AM wandering out there having five

315
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: kids in undergraduate before you finish law school, and now

316
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: you're still focused enough, focused enough, and your children are

317
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: still in your life, and but you're so casual about it.

318
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: Am I wrong in saying that? Sounds kind of like

319
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: you a different you cut from a different cloth.

320
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I say all the time, and I

321
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: mean it sincerely. I feel like my life is sound

322
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: almost fruitful when I say that, But when I felt

323
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: like my life was so divinely chosen, that the path

324
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: for me was chosen from somebody higher than me, and

325
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: I was just given a dream and the courage to

326
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: go after the dream, and blessed enough to have people

327
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: around me that believe and support my dream and my

328
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: visually and so I do think that it is insane

329
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: when you say it out loud, but you know, I

330
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: don't usually say it out loud.

331
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm say it out loud. I'm gonna say it out loud.

332
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it out loud. Attorney Tessa D. Edwards

333
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: is a blessing attorney Testity Evans, it would excuse me

334
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: as opposed to child for overcoming the arts. You are

335
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: a person that needs to tell your story over and

336
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: over again because you know why, because I get tired

337
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: of people being that I come from the inner city.

338
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: They will they stereotype us, They tell us that we

339
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: can't achieve or we don't achieve. They don't give credit

340
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: from the community for people around us, the people who

341
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: believe in us. And so that is why if I

342
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: do anything in twenty twenty five, and this is not

343
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: going to be the last time I interview you, and

344
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: because your story and your personality in general needs to

345
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: be amplified, can I do that?

346
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: You should and I will be honored. I will be honored.

347
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: No, I'm honored. And the reason I say that is

348
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: that so many of our people of color, African Americans,

349
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, we're in an administration right now now that

350
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: you know the diversity, the echoing inclusion, and they act

351
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: like they've given us opportunities, like they like we have

352
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: an earned opportunity. You are a poster child for earned

353
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: earned Big E. You're the big E. You've earned everything

354
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: you've achieved in life, and this new administration will make

355
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: us believe that you didn't earn it, you didn't achieve it.

356
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: And So when you look at giving people advice, what

357
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: advice do you give them?

358
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: Attorney Edwards, The biggest advice that I can give anybody

359
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: is to make it make it clear of what it

360
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 4: is you're going after, so that you don't waste time

361
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: doing things that's not going to help you get to

362
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: that goal.

363
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: Just be clear about what it is you want. Be driven,

364
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: be focused, be hungry, and wake up and go to

365
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: sleep with your eye on that goal even as you're

366
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: going down that path. To get to that goal, you

367
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: have to have people around you that support you. I

368
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: can tell you my husband, Charles, who probably is one

369
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: of the biggest cheerleaders I have. That daughter that you're

370
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: talking about is one of my four daughters, has three

371
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 2: sons biggest cheerleaders very supportive, always ready to go in.

372
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: My brother. I have a younger brother. I have several

373
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: younger brothers, have five brothers and five sisters. But one

374
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: of my brothers beat you.

375
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: Said five brothers and five sisters. Have six sisters and

376
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: two brothers.

377
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: Well, I have a big family supported, but that one

378
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: brother that's two years younger than me. My day one,

379
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 2: like we grew up the hard way, beside me hustling,

380
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: eating out the garbage can. When we were younger, we

381
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: would some up with I would come up with the plan,

382
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: and he was the executor, and that was our role.

383
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: And to this day, if I say, hey, I'm going

384
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: to do this, he's always what do I need to

385
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: do to help? How can I help the same thing

386
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: with my husband. So my husband runs the firm with me.

387
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: He's there one hundred percent bought in. He'll tell anybody

388
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 2: we're gonna bet on us all day. Things we set off.

389
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: BUYD too have never failed anything that we've ever tried

390
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: to do. We've always succeeded when we are doing it

391
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: to like mine together thinking it and doing it. My

392
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 2: team and my firm is incredible. Now one of them

393
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: is the reason I'm talking to you today. So I

394
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 2: have a lot of people around me, and just surround

395
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: yourself with people that believe in you, and even when

396
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: you have those tough days, because it's not if it's

397
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 2: when you need people around you that believe in you.

398
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: When you're tired and you don't necessarily have the belief

399
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: in yourself in that day, surround yourself with people who

400
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: who are aligned with your vision.

Speaker 1: I wanted you on my show today. It's unusual, and

425
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: but it's not unusual because it happens. It's unusual because

426
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: of the story that they overcoming the odds and people

427
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,199

429
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: and not ignoring it. And that's what happens to a

430
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: lot of people. They ignoring it because the work that

431

Speaker 1: goes along with it. And that's what people are forgetting

432
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: in this story, is that yes, yes, she had two kids,

433
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: she was a teenage mom. Yes, but she applied work, ged,

Speaker 1: she went to the military, then she got scholarships. Then

435
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: she went to Indiana University. She had five kids at

436
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: that point, she still graduated. And now she's in Atlanta

437
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,120

438
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,640
