67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,360

Speaker 3: you know, I just went on. Okay, I got to

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: figure out how to have a wholeistic lifestyle for me

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: and my family. You know, let me research ingredients, let

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: me know what I'm using on my body, on my skin,

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: on my hair, for myself and my kids. And doing

74
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: that just set me on this whole new journey, you know,

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: without even realizing what God was doing.

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: Uh.

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: In my life, I followed the traditional got to go

78
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: to college path, you know, got my master's in science,

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: and then pivoted. Wow, just took a step out on

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: faith and enjoyed the whole process right of doing just that.

81
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 3: And out of that, you know, Camille Rose was born.

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Wow, so your name is now, where did the name

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: Camille Rose come from?

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: Of course I had to tie into my grandmother some

85
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: kind of way, who loved roses right, and on the

86
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: date my grandmother I s, I always say, she's the

87
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: original Camille Rose. Never went to a doctor. She died

88
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: when she was like ninety nine, but she didn't look it,

89
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: you know, skin was amazing smooth. And I said, you

90
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: know what, I want to dedicate my brand to her

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: son type of way, because she had her own little

92
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: concoctions that she was making for us if we got sick,

93
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: you know, her own home remedies. And I think I

94
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: of course super inspired by her. And on the day

95
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: of her services she passed away like in the winter

96
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: and her yard that had roses in her front yard.

97
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: They were all dead, right, wow. And then my aunt

98
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: looked over and it was one rose that was bloom

99
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: and full bloom. And my aunt was like, oh my god,

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: look at that rose and it was red. It was

101
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: it was the rest were dead. It was like, wait

102
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: a minute, what's happening here? And so that's the rose

103
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: that you see in my silhouettes, my logos, hair. And

104
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: my aunt was like, you know, I'm just going to

105
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: take that as a sign that, you know, mom is

106
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: at peace. And so I just wanted to tie my

107
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: brand into you know, my grandmother and how much she

108
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: meant to me.

109
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: That is beautiful.

110
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: So you went to college, you had a major that

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with hair. What was that moment

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: where you were like, I want to pivot. I want

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: to do things naturally. Did something happen like I need

114
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: to be more cautious about it.

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: So not even saying that I wanted to pivot, I

116
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: started having I was having kids young and thinking, okay,

117
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: I got my master's now, but I got all these babies.

118
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: So it's like hard for me to get out and

119
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: punch somebody's clock. And then the babies that I had

120
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: had suffered from severe ezemas and Darter was born with

121
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: curly hair. My son had curls. And then it's not

122
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: that moment that you're like, wait a minute, I can't.

123
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 3: I gotta be careful, Like they're too young for me

124
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: to be using all these chemicals and the crazy stuff

125
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: and what is this ingreat? And you know, why are

126
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: the things that I'm buying, everything that I'm using, nothing

127
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: is working. What is going on? It says organic, you know,

128
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: and then bringing them to doctor after doctor they're writing

129
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: a prescription and it's like, I can't keep doing this,

130
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: so let me figure it figured it out, you know,

131
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: like I'm really about to be super mom and just

132
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: do what I have to do and research the ingredients

133
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: of the products that I thought were organic, and that

134
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: was like, wait a minute, it's one organic ingredient in here,

135
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: you know. The Yeah, And I just just started teaching

136
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: myself about herbs and making everything.

137
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

138
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: So at what point did you get the call or

139
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: know that your products are going to be on this

140
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: way at Walmart, Target, yeah, everywhere around.

141
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: So I think that when I realized that I'm enjoying this,

142
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: and when I realized that, Okay, I'm obsessed with making formulas.

143
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 3: Is when I realized, okay, I got to share it.

144
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: I remember doing this whole diaper rash cream that really worked,

145
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: like the next day after I used it, I called

146
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: my husband in the room. I was like, you gotta

147
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 3: see this, like this is gone. A diaper rash is gone.

148
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: Like I gotta figure out how to share it, not

149
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: sell it, but share it because it was such a

150
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: struggle for me and I'm talking about they were like

151
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: the skin was bleeding, like Okay, I figured it out,

152
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: and so I was like, I gotta share it. But

153
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: how do I share it if I'm making it and

154
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: if a website, like what do I do? So I

155
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: remember calling like a laboratory and telling them, hey, I

156
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: got this cream and this is the ingredients and how

157
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: do I do this? And they were like they started

158
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: talking dollars that I didn't have right now, and I

159
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: was frustrated. I hung the phone up. I was like,

160
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: forget it. But then I didn't let that stop me.

161
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: I was like, well, I can't afford to do it

162
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: like the right way with the pretty packaging, and so

163
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: let me just do it myself. Let me throw up

164
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: a small website and just see how it goes. And

165
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: then it just went it just yeah, amazing.

166
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: The fact that you got in the kitchen yourself. I

167
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: was like, I'm going to figure this out.

168
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had everything girl from I was nursing at

169
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: the time, which was super painful. I'm like, I'm doing

170
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: a nipple braam like everything. Like I would have scratches

171
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: of a scratch of paper and taking it to a

172
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: compound in pharmacist with like ingredients on it and whipped

173
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: this up for me and they would. But it was like, girl,

174
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: that was three years before Camille Rose was actually a thing.

175
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: So I just take that as God was grooming me.

176
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: He was like he was putting me on that path

177
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: without me even realizing it, and without me even putting

178
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: a ton of pressure on myself. Right, I was in class, Yes,

179
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 3: the whole time I was in the and God was

180
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: the teacher.

181
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Yep, you know we're doing that.

182
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so it was just a learning lesson those

183
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 3: three years that I went through. And then he said, Okay,

184
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: the timing is now.

185
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Wow, that is amazing.

186
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: So now you're thrown into this huge beauty brand business

187
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: and you had one of the top selling businesses. What

188
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: were some of the fundamental things that you even had

189
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: to learn along the way to really create this business.

190
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 2: As far as the business mindset, because it's different than

191
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: getting in the kitchen and being creative, Yes, a whole

192
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: nother mindset.

193
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: I feel like I was born really with like a

194
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: hustle mentality. And I don't know if I want to

195
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: use the word hustle. I don't know, I like the word.

196
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: But some people like, we're entrepreneurs, but I'm an entrepreneur

197
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 3: and I'm a hustler soot, And I think I was

198
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: born with that because Camille Rose. It really wasn't my

199
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: first business. I had a home health like a sitting

200
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 3: agency before I'm a therapist, and so when I finished

201
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: graduate school, I got into like home health and I

202
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 3: would hire CNA's LPNs to go out into the home

203
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 3: and sit with people, older people, people who were stroke victims,

204
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,239
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. I had like thirty five employees

205
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: under that company. So I was always like, okay, do

206
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: for self, do for self. Like I think that my

207
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: family pretty much raised me like that, you know, so

208
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: that mindset was always there, and I was never afraid

209
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: of work, you know, never afraid of work. If I

210
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: punched the clock, I'm gonna work there, and when I

211
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: got off, I'm gonna work for me twice more, you know,

212
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: just harder. So I wasn't scared to do that. And

213
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: I love doing it.

214
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 5: You know.

215
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: It was such a joy When you receive a check

216
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: that you made for yourself, by yourself. That's a bomb feeling,

217
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: you know, and I want it more and more of that.

218
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: Wow, that is amazing.

219
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: So many people have aspirations to be in the beauty business,

220
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: but a lot of people are like, oh, it's oversaturated, Like,

221
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: don't do that because everybody's doing it.

222
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that?

223
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: I think that everything is oversaturating, right, And I think

224
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: that if it's your passion and if that's what you

225
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: really want to do, it'll come. You just got to

226
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: keep working towards it, like every day, Like, don't put

227
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: it to the side, don't keep it in your head

228
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 3: and you wishing up on a star. I think that

229
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: don't worry about how big you're gonna grow it. Just

230
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: think about growing it where you are at that moment,

231
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: you know, and then just keep working towards it. And

232
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: the more you pour into it it's gonna get bigger.

233
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.

234
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: One of my other questions I always wondered, because a

235
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: lot of people you said you would call people and say, hey,

236
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: I had these formulas, what to do they automatically start

237
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: talking dollars.

238
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: Did you self fund your business.

239
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: Or absolutely, which is one reason I grew, which I

240
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: tell people grow at the pace that you're comfortable with growing.

241
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: I funded it, and my husband, of course he funded

242
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: it too. But we did it as we grew, you know,

243
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: because my goal wasn't get it to everybody. My goal

244
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 3: wasn't even get it in the retail store. My goal

245
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: was to let me throw up this website and use

246
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: my social media and try to reach people there. When

247
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: I started my formulas, I went to the I didn't

248
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 3: even know where you would go to buy a bottle

249
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: or jar. I went to the grocery store and I

250
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 3: bought Mason jar and I got my little sharpie and

251
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: got like this cute little paper from hobby lobby and

252
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: take that on the jars. And that's how I did it. Yeah,

253
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: And I was okay with doing it like that until

254
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: I was able to not only teach myself where do

255
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: you get a component?

256
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: From you know.

257
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: And.

258
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: How do I do this? So it was the pace

259
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: that I was comfortable with growing and I never I'm

260
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: so glad I did it like that because it was

261
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: less stressful, you know, like I wasn't like I gotta

262
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: do this, I gotta get into target. It was less

263
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,359
Speaker 3: stressful for me. Yeah, and it made it more enjoyable.

264
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: That's good. That's amazing.

265
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: A lot of times when people are the people in

266
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: their family that had the successful business, a lot of

267
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: other things come along with it. Have you had to

268
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: navigate other stresses that came along with you being the

269
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: one that successful or had something that really popped from

270
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: from family or friends?

271
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: How do I think I was supported by everybody? Not

272
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: not necessarily. I think things for me, not think I

273
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: think I know. Things for me started happening really really quickly.

274
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: It was like the line order. So most people don't know.

275
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: After that website I threw home. The year later, I

276
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: was in a major, a big box retail store. One

277
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: year later, I knew nothing. When I tell you, I

278
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: don't know what I thought, like what they invited me

279
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: to this meeting to tell my story. I don't know

280
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: if I was like Okay, yeah, I'm gonna take the

281
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: meeting with me and this one person that I met,

282
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: and that was it. Girl. I walked in and it

283
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: was like a ton of people around table full of people.

284
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: Of course they didn't look like me, and I was like,

285
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: what am I doing here? You know, And that was

286
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: a little bit intimidating. However, you know, they walcome in.

287
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: It was like, tell your story. Ill when we met,

288
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: tell that story. And it was so easy to do.

289
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: And so that following year, Kamille Rose was in Target.

290
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah it's crazy, but yeah, but the people around me, Yeah,

291
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: everybody was pretty support and they really didn't even know.

292
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if they realized what I was doing

293
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: how big you know it was gonna get.

294
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, that is awesome.

295
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: I love that there is this stigma behind when companies

296
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: grow from the ground up as yours has and just

297
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: blows up and then they sell it.

298
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: There's people that say.

299
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: When you sell it, the the equality of the product

300
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: goes down, and some people say people are selling out

301
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: when they sell it.

302
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: What is your mindset behind?

303
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: Cause I feel like I grew this because at some

304
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: point I do want to like not have to work.

305
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: As much, you know, you want to make the money,

306
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: but what is your I.

307
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: Think that people have to sit and do what is

308
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: best for them and their family. Because I met both,

309
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 3: I know both, Oh my god, like I could name,

310
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if I could name, but but yeah,

311
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 3: it's it's companies out there right now that I have met,

312
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: super successful that have said no, we just want to

313
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: keep this in our family. And then it's it's companies

314
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: out there that's like I'm building it to sell. I

315
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 3: think that it's that's a personal decision. It's it's exhaust

316
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: it's a lot with any business, like, it's a lot.

317
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 3: So I think you just have to decide what's best

318
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 3: for you and you know your family. Do I feel

319
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: that when companies purchase black owned brands or any any whatever,

320
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: black on white owned brands, their goal is to see

321
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: how they can get their money out of it, save

322
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: a dollar, and.

323
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: If it's cutting back on certain things.

324
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, because it's a business, it becomes

325
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 3: like a business to them and it becomes less of

326
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 3: this is it's a real person behind this company, behind

327
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: this brand. This is my baby, you know, So you

328
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: just got to do what's best for you.

329
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

330
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, because I mean, I ain't thinking

331
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: about that. A lot of times. You don't know how

332
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: to fix the family because it is so much hands

333
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: on work.

334
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: But I do want to say that it's so important

335
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: for our community to have ownership stuff. It's so important

336
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: because I've come. I've never been into in corporate I've

337
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: never worked in corporate America, always on the medical side,

338
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 3: so that's kind of different. But it wasn't until I

339
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 3: started having meetings with Camille Rose and going into corporate

340
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 3: settings where I'm realizing, damn, it's really not a lot

341
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: of us in here, right, And it made me think

342
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: of my children and if they wanted to insert in

343
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: turn somewhere, and you know, they're competing against companies that

344
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: are not really owned by us, so you know it'll

345
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: be harder. And so I think it's so important for

346
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 3: us to have ownership and a lot. So you can

347
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: call me and say, hey, my niece wants to intern,

348
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 3: which follow you, Yeah, I've come. Or I'll call you

349
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: and say, hey, my daughter wants to shadow you. You

350
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So it's very very I love that. Yeah.

351
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really big on ownership.

352
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: I'm so big because you have to like, like you said,

353
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of opportunities for us, and when

354
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: you have the ownership, we're able to create more opportunities

355
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 2: for our community.

356
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, I love that.

357
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: What are some of the big hurdles that you've had

358
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: to overcome with entrepreneurship?

359
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: I know, right, So one hurdle that really really stressed

360
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: me out was finding a manufacturer that believed in what

361
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 3: I believed in as far as like the ingredients. And

362
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: when I thought I found one, it was this guy.

363
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 3: He was like, I'll help you, and I'm like, okay.

364
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 3: He was like, but I'm not purchasing any of your

365
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: ingredients because it's food. You know, you don't have to

366
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: put this in your products. We got this synthetic that's cheaper,

367
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm not doing that because I would

368
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 3: not want to disappoint my clients who's purchasing me online,

369
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: and then when they see me in the shelf, it's

370
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: a whole different I'm not doing that. And then yeah,

371
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: and then you know, I want to make sure these

372
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: products are safe for me to use and my children

373
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: and my family, so I'm not using anything synthetic. That

374
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: was a problem when I went to the laboratories. You know,

375
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: the chemists wouldn't be friendly with me because I call

376
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 3: myself a kitchen chemist. And I was like, what is that.

377
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: Y'all went to school for this, you know what I'm saying.

378
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: So they didn't want to hear what kind of ingredients

379
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: I got coming in there. I got a lot of

380
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: when my grandmother lived till she was one hundred and

381
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: ninety nine and eighty five, and she got perms and

382
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. I got a lot of that.

383
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: So when I found him, he was like, I'll help

384
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 3: you out, but you have to send all of your ingredients.

385
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 3: So I had big palace of almond mill, everything sent

386
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 3: into his lab. I was just using his tanks. And

387
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 3: so that first year I was in the retail store,

388
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: I made no money, made no money. He girl, he

389
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: treated me like crappy because I was like this little

390
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: brand and he was doing like bigger brands. It was crazy.

391
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: And then as I kind of grew in the business

392
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: and started meeting more and more people, it was like, wait,

393
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: what issues are you having? And I would tell them

394
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 3: and it was like, what's the art about, No, ma'am,

395
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: that's not small. We'll take you and I'm like, it's

396
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: not small, absolutely not, you know, but he was telling

397
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: me so he was like double dipping, like I had

398
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 3: to pay him to you sustains. Yes, it was like

399
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: a struggle. So that was just, you know, that was

400
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: a part of my journey, such a hurdle that I

401
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: had to go through and get through. And then it

402
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 3: was at that point I remember telling my husband, all right,

403
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: I got to drop everything. I got to get out there,

404
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: hit the streets and find a partner that can help

405
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 3: me produce these products. And not just any partner, right,

406
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: somebody who believed in what I believed in. And my god,

407
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: thank god I did. But we're still together to this day.

408
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 3: But let me tell you about that story. When I

409
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 3: met this lady, a chemist, she was at another lavatory,

410
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 3: a big laboratory. We're jelling, right, we're talking. You can't

411
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: really talk to those chemists a lot of times don't

412
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: want to talk to you. Right, It's very rare to

413
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 3: find somebody that let me, let me hear your stuff?

414
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: What an ingredients? What do you know? So I found

415
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: her and then right when I'm thinking, okay, let's do this,

416
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: that company that she worked for with bankrupt. I was like,

417
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: what is happening? But she pulled me and she was like,

418
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: you know what, I want to go into business myself.

419
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: You go. Come on.

420
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: And as I grew, she grew and you should see

421
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 3: her facility today, like she bought like these tanks. Girl. Yes,

422
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: So not only was I creating something for me and

423
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: my family, I created jobs for her and tons of

424
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: people in her in her facilities, and we're still together today.

425
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: I love that. That is beautiful.

426
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: Now, with everything you have going on, what do you

427
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 2: do to take care of Janelle?

428
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: What do I do? I don't know. Look before that

429
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: self care question, right, that self care question, that self

430
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 3: care does not exist. But before I was like, oh balance,

431
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: I got this work like that.

432
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't know.

433
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: I think I poured back into my body, which I

434
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: make sure I'm working out, doing something at the gym

435
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 3: every day. Mentally, Now I don't know. I keep saying

440
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: I haven't done that yet.

441
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Have to try it.

442
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 3: That's what everybody's telling me.

443
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: I'm serious, changed my life, it really okay?

444
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 3: You got you gotta well. Most people don't like to

Speaker 3: as that may sound, it helps me. It helps me.

453

483
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 4: It is important for me. I guess we'll talk about it.

484
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 4: I just did the same thing with the guys as

485
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: a leader. It is important for the people who rock

486
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 4: with me to be on the same journeys so we

487
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: can all aligned. I got this saying right now it's

488
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: God and money. So we got to go God first,

489
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 4: and then we can get the money. We can get

490
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: the money because God ain't telling us to be broke.

491
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 5: That he did not.

492
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: He did not, that is so.

493
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 4: True and tell us that. So just this journey is

494
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 4: so phenomenal. I'm still in all every step of the way.

495
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so beautiful.

496
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: Seen your journey, like even seeing you be more out

497
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: loud and like visual with your relationship with Christ.

498
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: I think it's beautiful.

499
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 5: It's because he's been outled with me.

500
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it.

501
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 5: It's been outlied with me.

502
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 4: My transformation has taken place right in front people's eyes.

503
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: And I've always tried to put God first.

504
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 5: But we was doing a tour in twenty twenty three.

505
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 4: We did a tour and we was doing like six

506
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 4: to seven hundred people just me per city. And I

507
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 4: went to my guide Hose, and I said, Jose, the

508
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 4: message not coming across like I want. And I know why,

509
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: I said, because God has given me the platform and

510
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: I ain't giving him.

511
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 5: The glory out. I said that.

512
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 4: And then from that, from that second city, on the

513
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 4: first slide on the tour was a scripture that I

514
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: would break down. I would do one or two scriptures.

515
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 4: The first one was like the man with the talents right,

516
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: And I learned that in that time a talent was

517
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: equivalent to twenty to forty years worth of servitude.

518
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 5: And I was like, yeah, God in money, God in money.

519
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: And so that was my way of saying God, I

520
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 4: got you. And so since then it's just been this

521
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 4: the journey I'm on and slowly but surely.

522
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 5: God is just He's opening up so many ways from me.

523
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: I keep telling people that the more you increase your capacity,

524
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: the more God will increase your territory. And so for me,

525
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: increasing my capacity is looking at the parts of me

526
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 4: that I'm not sufficient in, Like I'm not patient right

527
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: because I'm.

528
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 5: Gonna go get her.

529
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 4: And so I don't wait like I had a problem

530
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 4: with waiting for God to do it, like got I'm

531
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 4: gonna do it.

532
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it. I' gonna get it done. And

533
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 5: what we realize is that when we do it.

534
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 4: I always tell Jose that our best play is not

535
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 4: in God's playbook.

536
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: It's our play.

537
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: It ain't his place. So it's gonna take me longer.

538
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 4: And so this year twenty twenty four has been about yielding,

539
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 4: yielding my heart, my spirit, my money, my business and love.

540
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: Wow love love? Now what part of love? Because the

541
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: ladies what it?

542
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 5: Forty two me?

543
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: So because I come from the streets, born and raised

544
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 4: in New Orleans. I went to prison when I was

545
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: sixteen for a tim murder. So my mom gets shot

546
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 4: when I was nine. I emotionally was bankrupt throughout my

547
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 4: whole life. The streets didn't allow me the freedom to

548
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: have emotion, because emotion will get you killed.

549
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 5: And so I went through my life.

550
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 4: Keeping women at a distance because I wound up getting

551
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 4: robbed because a woman had set me up. But it

552
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: was part of the game, so I didn't but I

553
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 4: kept the residue of that with me, right, and I

554
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: went through my whole life just on some I can't

555
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: afford that. And then when I came home from prison,

556
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 4: I witnessed so many men who would use women to

557
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 4: get to other men, and I was a part of

558
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 4: that at a point, like no, like you pretty yo,

559
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: go do this for me so we can. It's part

560
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 4: of the game. And so that trauma sat on me,

561
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: and so when I became successful, it became even harder.

562
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 5: Yep, you know what I'm saying.

563
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 4: It became even harder for me to trust, and it

564
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 4: became harder for me to be vulnerable like that, and

565
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 4: so I just stayed away from it. And then I

566
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 4: met somebody who made it worth it in a way.

567
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 4: But I wasn't capable, wasn't I didn't know how to

568
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: express that, and so that forced me to do something

569
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: I didn't think I would have to do.

570
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: It was go to therapy.

571
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: Wow, talk about it and black me and talk about therapy.

572
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, therapy has been so therapeutic. Uh. My therapist told

573
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 5: me something one day.

574
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 4: He said, uh, listen, this is gonna be hard, and

575
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 4: I said, man, listen, I've been shot, right, I've been

576
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: in prison.

577
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 5: I need to talk about this stuff.

578
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

579
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 4: But what also helped me was he's a therapist that

580
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: leads with God.

581
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: That's important.

582
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, And so I started talking to him about

583
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: how I felt about seeing my mama get shot, how

584
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 4: it felt for me to shoot a man and never

585
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 4: deal with that.

586
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: Because I thought it was normal. Yeah, how it felt

587
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 5: to be shot, how it felt.

588
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: To go to court and get found not guilty and

589
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 4: nobody be in the room with me. How it felt

590
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: for me to do ten years and not have people

591
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 4: support me, right, like going through the world as a loner,

592
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: and how I horbed that m And because I didn't

593
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: have a uh pathway to express it, I I I

594
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 4: let it callous. And so therapy became this place where

595
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 4: I started.

596
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: To cry and it felt good.

597
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: Oh yes, it's I want that message to get across there.

598
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: It is okay for our black men to cry it

599
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: is I think our society has made it be strong,

600
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: like men don't cry, boys don't cry, be a big

601
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: boy even from.

602
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, stop acting like that.

603
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: So you grow up into grown men who don't know

604
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: how to express themselves or even cry.

605
00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, emotionally in prison yea emotionally incarcerated feeling that the

606
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 4: vulnerability is what makes you weak, when in reality, the

607
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: vulnerability makes us strong.

608
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 5: It's the ability to say, no, I feel this way about.

609
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 4: This situation, and I need to express it because when

610
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 4: you hold it in, it starts to turn into resentment,

611
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 4: and resentment can lead a lead to you imploding.

612
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 5: Right, And.

613
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 4: As a man with a daughter, I never need to implode.

614
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 5: I need to be able to show her how much

615
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 5: I love her. She needs to know every day that, yo,

616
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 5: my daddy loved me.

617
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: Like in so many different ways. And the only way

618
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 4: that I could do that was being so in touch

619
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 4: with myself where because I had moments where I would

620
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 4: cry and I would be like, man, I can't let

621
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 4: my daughter say.

622
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: Yes to wipe it away, right, But what is that

623
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: teaching her exactly? You know, when she grows up and

624
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: gets a man, her husband, to know that hey, it's Okay,

625
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: I saw that.

626
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so that's that's been the journey for me.

627
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 4: And so I as I went to therapy and I

628
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, this feels good and started building these

629
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 4: spiritual relationships with people people in church.

630
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

631
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 4: That that was me saying God, I see you, Yeah,

632
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 4: I see you because I can't.

633
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 5: I don't.

634
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 4: This is I'm an infant here. Yes, I can't just

635
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 4: read the word and interpret it. I need somebody to

636
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 4: guide me.

637
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

638
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 5: Right.

639
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: And so I had my therapist, and then I had

640
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 4: these spiritual big brothers come in my life, and and

641
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 4: this year has been the best year for me.

642
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 5: Ever.

643
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: I love that.

644
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: Ever, doesn't it all come together when you put God first?

645
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: Like people don't understand, They ask like how God? Like

646
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: the moment I intentionally put him first, everything is clear.

647
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 2: My choices are wiser. When I study the word, I

648
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 2: can apply it to every single day. We just read Proverse,

649
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 2: the whole Book of Proverbs. Church so good, and it's

650
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: the wise that we did a wise up challenge because

651
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 2: it's so full of wisdom. And I struggle with patience

652
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: as well, So praying for that patience and I feel

653
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: like God has been testing me all week on this patience,

654
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 2: but in that it was about being slow to anger

655
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: and taking time to process things before you just react,

656
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: and just being wise in all your choices. And I think,

657
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: especially in the season I'm in my life being successful,

658
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: wanting to grow more and continue to elevate, I needed that,

659
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 2: you know. And I see it like I see the evidence.

660
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 1: Of him everywhere.

661
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: I mean, like even this new season, like God is

662
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: showing like if you trust me and allow me, I'm

663
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: gonna put the right people in your life. Because when

664
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: you said making sure that the people around me are

665
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 2: all the same wave, like.

666
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: You have to you have to.

667
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 5: It's because.

668
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 4: When we are the visionary, the people will not necessarily

669
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 4: follow you.

670
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 5: They believe in the vision, yes, right.

671
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: And I have to be a conduit and anybody that

672
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: doesn't have the same currency with me throws me off.

673
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 5: Yes right.

674
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 4: And I think about I think about like when Jesus

675
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 4: was walking and the lady touched to him, he was like,

676
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: who touched me?

677
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 5: And they like no, no, no, no, Like all these people,

678
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 5: he was like no, no, no, there was a certain type

679
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 5: of yes. It's a certain type of touch, right.

680
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 4: And so for me, I need the people around me

681
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 4: to have a certain type of touch. So when they

682
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 4: following me or when they inspire by me, they're moving

683
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 4: in this authentic that's amazing. And you talked about the patience,

684
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: so that there's Galatians five until only Too is one

685
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 4: of my favorites because it talks about the fruit of

686
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 4: the spirit right and inside of it. There's two things

687
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 4: that I love. It's depending on what book you read,

688
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 4: it'll say forbearance or it'll say long suffering, and then

689
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 4: it'll say self control. And the reason why that's important

690
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: because to be patient, it's to suffer sometimes.

691
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: It is.

692
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 5: It's to suffer sometimes, but.

693
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: It also tells us to wait patiently, we hope and

694
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 4: to rejoice during turmoil. So for me, I've been through

695
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 4: so much turmoil, and instead of letting the turmoil get

696
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: me mad, it's like, oh God, at my weakest is

697
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 4: when you work the.

698
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: Most, it.

699
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 5: Can't bad. I got you.

700
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: I got you.

701
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 5: You're trying to expose me to something.

702
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 4: You're trying to let me see something, You're trying to

703
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 4: navigate me to something. So when I get frustrated, I

704
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 4: take control.

705
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: And that's when I lose.

706
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: Yep, yes, yeah, God will test you.

707
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 5: The enemy will tempt you.

708
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: I gotta make sure that I passed the test and

709
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 4: not fall for the temptations. And whatever the temptation may

710
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 4: be in me. I need to get this done in

711
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 4: the time that I needed to get done. I need

712
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 4: this to move how I want this business not moving.

713
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: So when I yielded, I say, nah, God, you gonna

714
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 4: have it all. Yeah, and just give me the instructions.

715
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

716
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 4: And so I'm just walking now with this flow in

717
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 4: my life.

718
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 5: And I just took the men too as a man.

719
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: Thinking, yeah, I saw that.

720
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 5: So mind you.

721
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 4: My circle is eighty percent of convicted fellas.

722
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 5: Only twenty percent.

723
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 4: Of the people that I know now is people who

724
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 4: I've met as an entrepreneur. Right, And so my people

725
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 4: from the street be hitting me, be like broh that.

726
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 5: God stuff real, this is a question.

727
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

728
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 5: And for the average person they be like, how could

729
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 5: you No?

730
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 4: No, no, Because when you're in the streets, you ask

731
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 4: him for God to get you through criminal activity. Sometimes, God,

732
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 4: let me hit this lick because you know I need

733
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 4: this bread, right, God about to do this.

734
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 5: God, Please don't let me get hit with the bullet,

735
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 5: but let him get hit with it.

736
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:11,880

754
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,760

756
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: I gotta switch this up. And you're the example that's incredible.

757
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 4: It can't be just about money because if we make

758
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 4: it just about money, we can't go where we need

759
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: to go.

760
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: At No, you can't.

761
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,520

Speaker 4: poor hands make for lazy.

764
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 5: So okay, if he tells us to be diligent, yeah,

765
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 5: let me just be diligent.

766
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 4: God gives us the ability to produce. Well, so he

767
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 4: said like, bro, I don't want you all to be poor. Yeah,

768
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 4: but you gotta listen to me. So that's why my obedience.

Speaker 2: I saw you at Woman Evolved and I'm not gonna

00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 2: doing what God wants me to do in the way

824
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: that he wants me to do it. And it may

825
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: not look like, oh, she's not doing it right to

826
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: other people, but I know who I'm reaching in this space,

827
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: you know. And a lot of times you look and

828
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: you compare, like, well, I'm not like Sarah, and I'm

829
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 2: not like Priscilla, and I'm not like Brenda, like you

830
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 2: look at all these people that I'm not where they are.

831
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: But in my space, I'm reaching people for God and

832
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 2: I hadn't even got.

833
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 4: No no not so I think sometimes we are and

834
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 4: that's a great thing. So I just I told Pastor

835
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 4: Dona's maybe like sad I was, I was crying. The

836
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 4: only thing about therapy is like I've been crying.

837
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 5: And ye.

838
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 4: Yes I'm crying. I'm listening to the word. And he

839
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 4: came up to me and I looked at him. I said, Man,

840
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 4: I'm not worthy. It is I'm not worthy of what

841
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 4: everything that he's given me. I said, I'm not worthy.

842
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 4: And he looked at him and he said, because you

843
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 4: feel like you're not worthy is.

844
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 5: Exactly why you are worthy.

845
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: Listen, Yes, you hear me. Yes, he said, you gotta

846
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: down play yourself.

847
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 4: But that humility, yes, is why God can keep trusting you.

848
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: Yes, literally, that's it.

849
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And woman evolved. So me and my mom's relationship

850
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 4: has been.

851
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: Traumatic wow for a long.

852
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 4: Time because she dealt with you gotta think she had

853
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 4: when she was sixteen in that error where you know

854
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 4: a sixteen year old having a kid in the age

855
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 4: like they done, They're like, nah, they offer her.

856
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 5: So she was bold enough to say I'm gonna keep

857
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 5: him wild.

858
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 4: But then she fought her own demons right, which went

859
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 4: to her being the street with shooting somebody, her ribbing

860
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 4: her jack, and her being shot the street.

861

00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 4: She wound up doing five years in prison, and then

863
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 4: I become the residue of that that. Yeah, and for

864
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 4: the longest, I didn't realize that I had resentment for

865
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 4: my mom because you left me. I became homeless. Yeah,

866
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,279

868
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 4: he couldn't keep me.

869
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 4: She was locked in and then we went to lunch,

908
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 4: and then after lunch passed a dining said trap, come

00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 4: on the floor.

910
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 5: I was like, nah, man, I'm good. It's like no, no, no,

911
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 5: come on the floor. And I was like, all right, God,

912
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna fight this. So we all get to

913
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 5: the floor and.

914
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 4: Worshiping and everything, and I looked at my mom in

915
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 4: her back.

916
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 5: She started crying.

917
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: And I said, God was moving. That thing got So.

918
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 5: The next day we come we on the floor. I said,

919
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 5: gotta to.

920
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 4: My friend said, go hug your mama. She need you, right,

921
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 4: So I hugged my mama. She cried and I just said, God,

922
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: you're working.

923
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: Yes.

924
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 5: And so we go to dinner that night and I

925
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 5: called my friend and I was like, Yo, this is

926
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 5: so good. And she said, you to know something.

927
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 4: She said, you think going to therapy was about your

928
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 4: ability to love them, to love again, and to be

929
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 4: able to show me love. But really it was the

930
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 4: breakthrough for you and your mom, she said, because I

931
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 4: watched how you nurtured her, and that's why I'm proud

932
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 4: of you. You nurtured her, you pulled up close something

933
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 4: you wouldn't have done.

934
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 5: And since women evolved, we have been What's that what

935
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 5: you're doing right? Just that relationship have evolved because when.

936
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 4: God, when you allowed, when you identify what it is,

937
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 4: so most people see the triggers, and when they see

938
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 4: the trigger, they keep running away from the trigger, which

939
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 4: keep building the callus. So instead of me running away

940
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 4: from like you know, let me embrace it, but let

941
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 4: me embrace it with God.

942
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 5: Let me let me move the feeling, let me move.

00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 4: The act of the flesh to the size, and let

00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 4: me move the food of the spirit because First Corinthians

Speaker 5: Gentle, And if I can't be that with my mama.

948
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: Then you definitely can't be with anybody else.

00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

950
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 5: So I'm just there.

Speaker 4: And so we've been so good, we've been so good

952
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 4: that we've been so good.

953
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 5: And so that's what women evolved with. It helped me.

954
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 5: And my mama is just yeah, you know, so good.

955
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:37,200

956
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: and necessary in this culture because the kingdom, I feel

957
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: like it's in a very it's in a weird space

958
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: right now, you know, where people are confused and we

959
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: have so many people wanted to leave the religion because

960
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 2: we're not representing it the way that Christ wants us to.

961
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 2: And I just love people like her and pt that

962
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:02,280
Speaker 2: are transparent and real, that really like teach the word,

963
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 2: you know, And so.

964
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 5: They should have told me this one day.

965
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 4: He said, your authenticity is what's needed to date. Yeah,

966
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 4: she said, you have charisma, you have transparency, and you

967
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 4: have influence. When you let God do it, it'll blow

968
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 4: your mind. Yeah, And so that's kind of just why

969
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 4: I've been at and when I look at like how

970
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 4: God uses people, He always used misfits.

971
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: This is the rise of the missing. Literally, that's what

972
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:42,919
Speaker 1: I took away.

973
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 2: Everybody's like believing women evolved and they're like, this is

974
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 2: the rise of the unlikely people that are gonna be

975
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 2: spreading the gospel.

976
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they look like us.

977
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 5: They look like us.

978
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 4: And so for me, that's what makes me step in

979
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 4: it more proudly because I'm like, yeah, it's the imperfections

980
