66
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 6: day and Lydia, this quote will sound really familiar your

67
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 6: tea here boop, because not only was it just mentioned

68
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 6: in your bio, but it also added to your title

69
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 6: as an author. So our quote of the day, I

70
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 6: absolutely positively love my spots.

71
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 5: Yes, yes of the day. Yes, so, Lydia.

72
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 6: When you hear our quote of the day, which is

73
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 6: also the title of your children's book, say more about

74
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 6: what comes up for you?

75
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 5: Oh you know what?

76
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: If I could be quite honest, that quote was my

77
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: affirmation for a long time until I believed it, Like

78
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: until I truly believed it, because for so long I

79
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: did not. I absolutely positively did not love my spots.

80
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: I did not love this person that you see today.

81
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: So when I hear that I absolutely positively love my spots,

82
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: that's a mimorating affirmation. It's a bringing quote that I

83
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: believe in it. I believe it wholeheartedly. I mean to

84
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: write a book and use what I believe was an

85
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: affirmation for me to help me get through a lot

86
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: of the dark times in my life, and it had

87
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: that as the title is loud, It's.

88
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: Like, I know what it did for me. I know

89
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 5: how it freed me from.

90
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: You know this what I would like to call this

91
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: mental presion that I once was keptive, you know, I

92
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: was captive in I can only imagine when people use that,

93
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: say that and mean that what they can be freed from,

94
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: you know, what they can learn to absolutely positively love,

95
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: whether it be your spots, whether it be.

96
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: Your path experiences.

97
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: You know, because truly, we sometimes get to a place,

98
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: and especially women, where we're like I wish I could

99
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: just forget about what I went through, wish I could

100
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: forget about that.

101
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 5: But why But why would you want to do that?

102
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: When your path, granted it may me be colorful, it

103
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: may contain parts that you're like I wish I didn't

104
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: go through it, But going through it, right, it allows

105
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: you to become who you are today, you know it.

106
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: So when I hear that, it's just it's a liberating statement,

107
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: it's a liberating affirmation. It's a liberating quote. So shout

108
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: out to the quote of the day. Yes, yeah, yeah,

109
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 2: we appreciate you already preaching. Okay, we're starting off preaching.

110
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: Come on, so if we have so many questions for you,

111
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: but we want to start off from the beginning and

112
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: trying to keep this conversations organized as possible. So can

113
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: you tell us what's your origin story? How did you

114
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: become the lydiacy or there that we see today?

115
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so well, I am from Georgia and that's where

116
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: my family was. You know, we're from. My family was

117
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: very wealthy and they were extremely successful, affording me the

118
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: opportunity to have such a beautiful stress spree life, exempt

119
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: from life traumas and unfortunate life experiences.

120
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: That was all a lie. I was lying.

121
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: I'd have made all that up except the fact that

122
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm from Georgia, from.

123
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 5: Community that's amazing.

124
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: All a lie, except the fact that I am born

125
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: and raised in Georgia. I'm from Georgia. In fact, my story,

126
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: the origin of my story is full of childhood and

127
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: adulthood traumas, you know, resulting in this woman that you

128
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: see today. Like I said before, you know, we tend

129
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: to go through things in our life and try to

130
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: forget those things. But I will never forget those things

131
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: because the woman you see today, you know, I give

132
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: credit to those experiences. They helped to mold me into

133
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: the woman I am today. I was born with a

134
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: skin condition known as videlaigo. Yes, and so from the

135
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: beginning of my life's things were not considered normal so

136
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: to speak. You know, I grew up in a small

137
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: town where we didn't have much of anything.

138
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 5: I came from very little.

139
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: Fast forward, I became a single teen mom at age eighteen,

140
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: became a mother of two by nineteen. Then I became

141
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: a mother of four by twenty six and divorced by

142
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: thirty three. Third in the Navy for almost fourteen years. However,

143
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: I knew that there was just so much more to

144
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 2: my life than what was handed to me. So I

145
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: went on this self discovery healing journey to know more

146
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: about me, and God created me to be in here

147
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: I am today. I'm still a mama four, I'm still divorced,

148
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: but I'm happy and I'm blessed.

149
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 5: I'm successful.

150
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: Give God all the glory that I'm unashamed of anything

151
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: I've ever experienced and gone through. I'm unapologetically me. I

152
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: live in purpose and I live on purpose.

153
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: So there we go.

154
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,800

Speaker 5: and so Lydia.

198
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 6: You know, we talked to before we started recording about

199
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 6: how this conversation would go, and you got the questions

200
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 6: ahead of time, and one of the things we said

201
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 6: was we're just gonna go.

202
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: With the Flowa.

203
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 6: Other questions may come up as you share things, and

204
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 6: so one of the things that one of the questions

205
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 6: that shame up for me based on what you shared,

206
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 6: was what is one of the biggest life lessons you

207
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 6: learn and you have been on your journey, one of.

208
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: The biggest life lessons that I've learned is we have

209
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: got to stop trying to control the things we have

210
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: no control over, whether that be people, whether that be situations,

211
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 2: whether whatever that may be. We don't have control over

212
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: a lot of things. The things we have control over, okay,

213
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: you know, do what you gotta do with that, But

214
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things we don't have control over.

215
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: You know.

216
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: I mentioned, you know, the childhood Trallas. I'm not ashamed

217
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: of anything I've gone through. I'm not ashamed of it.

218
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: Do I sometimes wish I wish just didn't happen to me? Sure,

219
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like, no one goes through

220
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 2: life like yeah, I want this to happen, and I

221
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: want to go through hell and hogh water. No one

222
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: you know, says that. But at the same time, I

223
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: do believe that things happen for a reason. I believe

224
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: that you know, a lot of times what we we

225
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: have to we go through in life, it's for a purpose.

226
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: Let me say that, I think it's all for a purpose,

227
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: whether that be to help someone else get through and

228
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: reach their breakthrough, whatever it is. So one of the

229
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: life lessons for me was simply not worrying about the

230
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: things I have no control over. I couldn't control certain

231
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: things that happen in life. But what I can control

232
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: is how I allow it to affect me, How I

233
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: allow it to affect me, especially moving forward in my life,

234
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: because there are people that are looking at you, you

235
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And there are people that are

236
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: like especially if you have children, right, they're going to

237
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: go through things in their life and they're gonna watch you.

238
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: How did you get through that? How did you deal

239
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: with certain situations?

240
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 7: You know?

241
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 5: How did it?

242
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: Let me see how I allowed see how my mom

243
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: allowed certain things to affect her, No one, she couldn't

244
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: control it. You you can't control it, right, So certain

245
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: things you just can't control. How do you move forward?

246
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: How do you control what you can't control? How do

247
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: you control yourself your thoughts and emotion?

248
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 5: That is so powerful. And I don't know you heard

249
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 5: that on the podcast before.

250
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 3: I for Dom talks about that a lot, and we've

251
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: talked about that on the podcast a lot, really Lydia. Yes,

252
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: it's so powerful, right, like focus on what you can control,

253
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: because that's all. And so you've talked about being born

254
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: with a skin condition called the deligo, and I just

255
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: want to know, like, what are some of the important

256
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: facts about the delico the individuals without personal experience with

257
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: the condition may not be aware of, but should understand

258
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: because I feel like sometimes when people are ignorant, they

259
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: ask silly. I ask questions and I know they say

260
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: no questions silly, But I just think about people who

261
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: just don't have a frame of reference, Like what are

262
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: some things that people should know.

263
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: One thing that I believe people misconstrued about the deligo

264
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: is whether or not it's contagious. Too many times, oh

265
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: my lord, too many times have I had people walk

266
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: away from me not want to sit next to me

267
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: when I was younger, even as a grown ask woman,

268
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: people will still make their you know, try to keep

269
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: that distance because I don't know if they think that

270
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: it's contagious.

271
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: And I need people to know, oh, like no bed.

272
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 5: You cannot get rid of lago from touching me. That's

273
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 5: not how this works.

274
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: I have people that I know within the Blago community

275
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: and they're like, you know, they go and try and

276
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: pay for something, you know, at a store and they'll

277
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: move their you know, they'll put the money on the

278
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: counter versus in their hand thinking that, you know, I

279
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: don't want to touch them.

280
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 5: I don't know if I can get that as well.

281
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: That's not how good aligo works. Okay. It's auto mute condition.

282
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: It's a disorder that basically causes white patches on the

283
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: skin to form when let's say, due to the loss

284
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: of destroyed or lost or damaged pigment producing sales, which

285
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,479
Speaker 2: are called milano site. It's the cells that produces are melanine.

286
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: So for some people it's lost, it's damage is destroyed. Again,

287
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: we have no control over that. We have no control

288
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: over that.

289
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 5: Okay.

290
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: So I want people to know, like it something, it's

291
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: not contagious. You can't get it from touching someone, you know.

292
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: There are speculations that it could be hereditary. Stress causes it.

293
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: For me, I was one day old. I know I

294
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: wasn't stressed out, but and I have no one in

295
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: my family, no one that has the a lego. So

296
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: it's still one of those disorders where it's a lot

297
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: of unknown.

298
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 5: There's no cure at all. Some treatments, but no cure.

299
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: And no, it's not contagious. Thank you for that, Thank

300
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 5: you for sharing that. So you said there's no cure,

301
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 5: But what are some of the ways that.

302
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 7: So dol?

303
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 6: I'm thinking of family and friends, right, How can family

304
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 6: and friends be supported because I know sometimes people are

305
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 6: well intentioned, but the impact is an insensitive attale. And

306
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 6: so how can family and friends be supportive of someone

307
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 6: who has the delight of.

308
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: I think that family, friends, neighbors, strangers, whoever, the best

309
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: way to support someone that may not look like you,

310
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: that may have disort or stink condition, whatever it might be,

311
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 2: is simply to be kind. That's the go to rule.

312
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: Treat people how you want to be treated. There's no

313
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 2: science to this. Again, you know, we have no control

314
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: over certain things. You know, I couldn't go to God

315
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: and be like, hey Lord, I know you're about to

316
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: put this patch on my face.

317
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna need you to hold on.

318
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: Let's reconsider this spot you about to give me. We

319
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: have no control over what God decides to design that

320
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: he makes no mistakes. So when he decides to make

321
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: each and every one of us masterpiece, we've got to

322
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: not only embrace who we are, but embrace everyone else

323
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: around us.

324
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 5: And it just simply the science behind it. Are being kind,

325
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 5: you know.

326
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: Accepting people for who they are, just the way they are.

327
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 2: I do think that another thing is be a mindful

328
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: of the things that you say. We're all we're people.

329
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: We're curious, right, and we're curious. We have questions we

330
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: want to know, right. There's just a way to ask

331
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: certain questions. There's a way, you know, to be inquisitive.

332
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: You want to know something, ask me, you want to

333
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: know what I have asked me. But when you come

334
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: up to me and real rude, you know, like what

335
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: happened to y'all? Again, Oh what happened to you? I've

336
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 2: had people tell me listen, y'all. I've had people come

337
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: up to me and literally I don't even know you

338
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: and say, were you in a like they have their

339
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: own story already in their mind. Were you involved in

340
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: a house fire? Were you burned? Were you burned? With

341
00:19:52,880 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: askedd like I've had the most diculous thing, and I'm like,

342
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I can you know,

343
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: I can understand a person being inquisitive, being curious, but

344
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: there has to be a more respectful way for you

345
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: to come to anyone and ask them about their personal body,

346
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: about them, like, because my vital lego doesn't.

347
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 5: Affect you, it affects me, so exactly, come correct Lydia.

348
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't want to put the burden of representation

349
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: on you, and while we're here, because I know everyone

350
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: has their unique experience. But while we're here, I feel

351
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: like some of what you're saying feel like common sense,

352
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: Like people should know this stuff, right, So the fact

353
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: that you're sharing these stories, I'm just like, this is

354
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: so wild that people live life and they just go

355
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 3: up to random people and do this. But let's say

356
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 3: that someone is meeting So now I feel I'm going

357
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: to apologize in advance for this question maybe being elementary,

358
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: but I hope that it's beneficial for a new person listening.

359
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: But if you meet someone, they have it a like goo,

360
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: what is a question? What is the framing of the question?

361
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: Could you said it's okay to ask me questions like

362
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: how would you prefer as an individual. For someone to

363
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: ask you if they're genuinely curious.

364
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if I and I'll let me speak

365
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: of how I would rather be approached, right, So again,

366
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: honest that people want to ask questions, I think the

367
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: better way to come to someone. God, how would I

368
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: want someone to ask, well, you know, what do I

369
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: have going on with my face? I don't know, that's who.

370
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: It's tough because part of me is also like, this

371
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: isn't a business, you know, people.

372
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 5: Like well, I don't mind. I don't mind answering the questions.

373
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't mind because at the end of the day,

374
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 2: I want to spread that awareness. I want to educate,

375
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 2: so ask. You know, I don't know exactly how to act.

376
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: I don't think I would act come to someone and say,

377
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: hey girl, you know, I think you're beautiful, just you know,

378
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: wondering you know, what is that skin condition or is

379
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: that a skink condition or you know, because I guess

380
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: maybe start with a compliment. I don't know, you know,

381
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: before you slap them with the you know, I think

382
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: maybe start off with a compliment, you know, because I mean,

383
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: kindness takes us a long way.

384
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, So I don't know.

385
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 2: I guess whatever you do, however you say it, because

386
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 2: I know it's the saying. You know, it's not always

387
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: what you say. Your pout and say things being mindful

388
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: not so what? But yeah, how you said that makes sense?

389
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: That makes perfect sense.

390
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: And speaking of how you say things, we're going to

391
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,720

Speaker 5: I'm ready, and so onto our sentence completion.

446
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 6: One question or topic I wish people ask me about

447
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 6: more often.

448
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: In people ask me a lot of things, right, they

449
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: ask me a lot of things. I think what I

450
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: wish people ask me more of is do I need help?

451
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: Look at you know, look at me a lot of times,

452
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure a lot of women are listening.

453
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: Can definitely relate being the strong woman always right. Yes,

454
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,440

00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 5: Yeah I'm resilience.

456
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: But let's not forget I'm still a woman, and I

457
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: don't want to discredit my femininity like I'm still a woman.

458
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 5: I'm slid. I want to.

459
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: A woman and be treated as such. So you know,

460
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: sometimes I don't want to always wear a cake sometimes

461
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: in mind people asking.

462
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 5: Me more of do I do you know? Do you

463
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 5: need help? And I don't think that even answered the question.

464
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 5: I think you asked me. No, that's the question. How

465
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 5: did you work the question?

466
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: Was it?

467
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 6: Okay?

468
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 5: Okay?

469
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,400

00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 5: I took.

544
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: This picture, I was really into stepping into being a

545
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: dvorced woman and being single. I got divorced it at

546
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: the nineteen and in twenty twenty two it was kind

547
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: of like that year. I was like, yeah, this is

548
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: this is this has happened girl, like it's been years now.

551
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,760

552
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,800

Speaker 2: oh you bletch your segment. We're going to dive back

570
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: into some questions. I'm trying to think where we should

571
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: go now. Don hmmm, well, I think we should talk

572
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 2: about your film. Okay, So, Lyddy, you have a film

573
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: called Beauty Mars. So can you tell us.

574
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 5: More about this film and what was the inspiration behind

575
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 5: this film? Ooh, this is my baby, y'all. This is

576
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 5: my baby Beauty marks. Oh my god.

577
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: So it was inspired by my personal life experiences, by

578
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: my this is true, like events that you would see

579
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 2: in this film, like what you see really transpired in

580
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: my life. You know, I'd gone through many child and

581
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: life not just from having bit algo, but also just

582
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: being a woman and being a woman coming from nothing,

583
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: coming from poverty, coming from lack, and.

584
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 5: Beating marks.

585
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: It was kind of like my way of showing people

586
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: who I really am, like not even so much of me,

587
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 2: you know, but also just who a lot of us

588
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: women are, who a lot of us are. Just when

589
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: you watch the film, you'll find a lot of relatable

590
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: scenes for some you know that may have experienced different

591
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: things in their lives. So the story, it's a drama,

592
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: a heartfelt drama that surrounds the life of Cassie. Cassie

593
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: is my nickname for people that don't know. Yes, born

594
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: with the skin condition vi aligo, but she's subjected to

595
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: a life of abuse of loneliness due to her strangely

596
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 2: evident marks on her skin. So the purpose of the

597
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: marks was to encourage and to give hope to the hopeless,

598
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: the ones that are brought into this tumultuous light that

599
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: we never ask for, and the hope and the encouragement

600
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 2: to really, you know, to keep going until you reach

601
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: the life that you deserve, and that you desire. You know,

602
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: it's an empowering and compelling story. I wrote it in

603
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. Initially it was supposed to be a book,

604
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: but God had other plans. And even now, you know,

605
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 2: I continue to work to push it and get it

606
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: on the big screen because it's so so powerful. You know,

607
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: I believe all of our stories, they all our life

608
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: stories are supposed to help someone else. Like God didn't

609
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 2: give you the life that you have, He didn't give

610
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: you the knowledge, He didn't give you all of that

611
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: for you to sit on it in yearslf Like our

612
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: job is to not be crabs in a bucket to

613
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: bring people down, but more sort of pull them out,

614
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: you see what I mean?

615
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 5: So like, maybe some things I may have gone through,

616
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 5: you know, will help someone else.

617
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 2: Some things that you may have gone through, maybe some

618
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 2: things that you've learned along you know, life, and you've

619
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: got tools and wisdom and knowledge that you have gathered

620
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: throughout your life when you put it in your two

621
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 2: patch of life, the dur job. Our goal is to

622
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 2: help someone else. Right, So the Marks, that's a little

623
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 2: bit of my life story and I love it.

624
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:29,600

00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 2: And go figure right like like I was a woman

642
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: who was once you know, I had very low self esteem,

643
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: no confidence at all, none, neuro none, and I was like,

644
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: I got plans for you girl, so okay, and here

645
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: it is. I'm a whole coach, you know. I just

646
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: felt like I was being called to help others, you know,

647
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: become liberated from a similar mental prison.

648
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 7: You know.

649
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, after I wore makeup for years covering

650
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: my bed of lego, people didn't even know I was

651
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: in the military, and people didn't even know I had

652
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: been a lego.

653
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 5: I served with people, and then in twenty eighteen, I

654
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 5: was like, I'm done. I didn't take it off. I

655
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 5: didn't take off the masks, the literal and.

656
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: Figure to masks, like because I was wearing makeup to

657
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: cover it and I was being someone I wasn't just

658
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: to make other people comfortable to be around me, like

659
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 2: I was making myself uncomfortable to make others comfortable.

660
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 5: Like Okay, that's great, that's so many of us do.

661
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 7: That.

662
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: Was there a pivotal point in your life, Like was

663
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 3: there an experience that happened you were like, fuck it,

664
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 3: I'm done with this makeup or was it just gradual overtime?

665
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: I think it was probably gradual over time. But I

666
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: think also so I was in a military. I got

667
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: stationed from Virginia to Florida, and when I moved to

668
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: Florida and now Florida sun hit me and then the

669
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: makeup was just running on in my eyes and burn

670
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: it and I was like, ooh, okay, this might be

671
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: it's time forgetting one of its makeup because this ain't

672
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: working with this Florida heat. But yeah, I think that

673
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: you know, that was probably in twenty eighteen really was

674
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: it for me. I was just tired, you know. I

675
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: went live with a girl's first model with viddle Lego

676
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: Amy Deanna. We went live on Facebook, Yes, and she

677
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: encouraged me. She actually plays a huge part into me

678
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: embracing my lividle likego embracing who I am. And so

679
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: we went live and from that point, the support that

680
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: I received from the people I served with in the military,

681
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: the support I received just from my followers. And at

682
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: the time I wasn't doing any of this. I was

683
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: with a regular degala and that's what I received from that.

684
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 3: Was like.

685
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 5: It blew my mind.

686
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: It blew my mind and it ignited, you know, a

687
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: fire in me to encourage, you know, to do that

688
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 2: for someone else.

689
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 5: So the Competence Building Academy came.

690
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 2: You know, my mission has always been to help young

691
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: girls and young women, you know, really seeing who they

692
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: truly are, you know, so they're more aware of their

693
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,160

Speaker 2: world's metrics system of how we as women should be,

702
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,400

737
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 3: makeup at twenty eighteen, right, stop covering, and to think

738
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 3: that you've made so much progress in this amount of

739
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 3: time is unbelievable, right, so incredible.

00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 5: We are so excited for you. This is so needed.

741
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 3: And when we think about your children's book, I absolutely

742
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 3: positively love my spots.

743
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 5: Okay, can we talk a bit about.

744
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 3: Why it's important to talk to children about Videlago And

745
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: I will say I have a two year old daughter,

746
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 3: And as we were preparing to have this conversation with you,

747
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to get her a doll that

748
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: has the deligo so she can be aware and can

749
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: see that before she meets someone, so that she can

750
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: have the knowledge to possibly advocate for that child.

751
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

752
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 3: So what in your experience, why is it important to

753
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 3: talk to children about this, whether they have the delga

754
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: or not. You said it, you know, awareness, education, you know.

755
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: By far, I must say that this is one of

756
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 2: the greatest accomplishments in my life, being able to sign

757
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: a major book deal with a publishing company.

758
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 5: I'm not a celebrity or none of that, you know.

759
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: And I didn't have an agent. I didn't have anyone

760
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 2: to represent me. But when you position, you know, you

761
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 2: work so hard, you positioned yourself, they come to you.

762
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 2: Those opportunities come to you. So I really took the

763
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: advocacy serious, you know, advocating for a little I go,

764
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 2: I take that very serious. It's important that we're teaching

765
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: our children, you know, kindness, bullyingating is at its all

766
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 2: time high, you know, not to mention suicide rates within

767
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: our youth, and then they're starting young they're starting young.

768
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: I have a few clients that are very young, under

769
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: the age of thirteen years old, and they're cutting contemplating

770
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 2: suicide because they're dealing with a lot of bullying, a

771
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: lot of pressure of.

772
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 5: The world, wanted to fit in.

773
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 2: And so I think it's very important that we're educating

774
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: and we're spreading this awareness, and we're celebrating our children.

775
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 2: We're celebrating their uniquenesses and their differences. With my book,

776
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: I absolutely positively love my thoughts because I do.

777
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 5: It's a celebratory old about a young girl.

778
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: You know, she has a vitaligo and how she boldly

779
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: celebrates her unique skin. It's a self loved letter that

780
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 2: I wrote to every child born to stand out.

781
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 3: You know.

782
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 2: It's a celebration of self esteem, perseverance, and simply just

783
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: loving the skin that you're in. It inspires what I love, y'all,

784
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: because I love inspiration, okay, but it inspires all children

785
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: to appreciate their spots, to whatever makes them different. I

786
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: was inspired to write the book because when I was

787
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: a little girl, I was not little girls you see

788
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 2: in the book. I was not confident like the little

789
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: girl of our book. That was not me holy oxide. Okay,

790
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: So I wrote this book for every child who was

791
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: once me when I was a little girl, because I

792
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 2: don't want any child to feel what I felt, or

793
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: to experience the things that I had experienced, bullying, ill treatment,

794
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: talked about, name called, I've been a cowel, I've been

795
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: a Dalmatian out there scar face to face majority of

796
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 2: my childhood. I wrote this book for them because no child,

797
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 2: especially again going back to things you can't control. We

798
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: have no control of how we are born or how

799
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, the things that may happen and to us

800
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 2: in our lives. We have no control over even our freckles.

801
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: We have no control over, you know, the small things.

802
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: We just don't have the control over certain things. So

803
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: it's important that we not only celebrate our children and

804
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: their differences and uniqueness, but we also teach others how

805
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: to be kind, to accept others and their differences and

806
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: their uniqueness.

807
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 5: Is you know, like I said, I wasn't confident, I

808
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 5: wasn't bold.

809
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: I wasn't like the little girl you see in the book,

810
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 2: and I wasn't for a long time like the woman

811
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: you see today. This is new, This is a this

Speaker 2: healing journey, this bold confident woman never she didn't exist.

814
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 5: Up until twenty eighteen. This book is for.

815
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 2: Those living in silence, those not feeling that they're worthy,

816
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: that they're not null, that something's wrong with them. Like No,

817
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 2: this is truly a self love letter to everyone that

Speaker 2: reads it because the inspiration behind the book and the

819

Speaker 2: words comprised in this book came from a genuine and

820
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 2: heartfelt place. I've been there, I know what they're feels like.

00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 6: confidence and really see themselves for who they really are.

835
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 2: You know, I get a lot of direct messages DMS

Speaker 2: children's book, And I'm like, wow, So ages the better number.

843
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 5: I believe that's a truth fact age.

844
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: It's nothing but a number, especially when it comes you know,

845
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: to building or my advice, build your stuff up. Even

846
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 2: when your foundation is a bit wibbly. Sometimes the foundation,

847
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 2: whether that be where we come from, are upbringing past experiences, traumas,

848
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: things like that. It may not have been the best

849
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 2: and most it hasn't been the most sturdy, so we

850
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: sometimes we have to restructure that foundation, which make consist

851
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 2: of unlearning, relearning, learning something else learning until we get

852
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 2: it right and we get that solid foundation. So we

853
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 2: may be unlearning and relearning and learning different new things

854
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: in our twenties, in our thirties, our forties, for the

855
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 2: rest of our lives, but the ultimate goal is to

856
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 2: create a solid and secure you and a life that

857
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 2: you deserve and that you desire. So the foundation is important,

858
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 2: you know, I see there will be situations and even

859
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 2: people that are already going to come into your life. Situations.

860
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 2: People are going to come in trying to demolish you,

861
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 2: try to tear you down. Do you give them a

862
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: brick and tell them to tear you down even more?

863
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 6: No?

864
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 2: I think that we must, you know, make sure we're

865
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: building ourselves up every single day the right way. I

866
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 2: don't care what age you are, you know, acting yourself

867
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: certain things like you know, what are your sources and

868
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 2: what are resources? My sources, God, that's my My resources

869
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: are things like this, you know, certain podcasts that listen to.

870
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm mindful of what you know. I allowed to encourage

871
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: and listening inspire, build me, cultivate me, move my flow

872
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 2: what you're listening to. Also, I'm picky with who I

873
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 2: allow to help build with me. You know, I'm picky

874
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 2: with my tribe. But my tribe is secure and is strong.

875
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 2: They're strong. You know. I am about people to speak life,

876
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 2: speak life into you every day. Embrace those people who

877
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: also are speaking life back in who you can't. Sometimes

878
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 2: we go through things, don't think that you're gonna be

879
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 2: coughing it every single day. I'm sometimes I'm like girl

880
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 2: with my girl. Listen, I'm going through I'm give me

881
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 2: something because I'm about to because so you know, I

882
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 2: embrace you know, my tribe, embracing the people that speak

883
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 2: life back into ego when you can. You know, building confidence,

884
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 2: it starts with the foundation. I truly strongly believe that.

885
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: And although my foundation was at the best in the

886
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 2: beginning and I'm still building, I know it's possible to

887
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 2: build ourselves up into the most solid, secure and the

888
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 2: best version of ourselves. So building found building confidence, I

889
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 2: believe with the process. You know, you gotta be patient

890
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: with yourself. You know, importantly, be mindful of the impatient

891
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 2: people around you. You know, you gotta watch to seeing

892
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 2: who picks up a hammer when you know it's time

893
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: to build, and you gotta watch who walks away when

894
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: you're seemingly falling apart, because eventually you will blossom. You know,

895
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna build that confidence up. You're gonna build it up.

896
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 2: You're gonna build up and blossom into that mansion. And

897
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: once you do, you'll know exactly who to invite in

898
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 2: and who to keep over there. So yeah, I think

899
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 2: foundation is serious when it comes down to building building

900
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: up your confidence. You know, think about what you're feeding

901
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 2: into you, what how you're building what you're listening to,

902
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 2: Like I said, your sources and resources.

903
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 3: I hope that makes sense. That did you just preached
