Speaker 2 (04:55):
Not only that, but you know when I was when
I was married to my her father, I went through
a lot of domestic abuse as well. Oh wow, on
top of it, while I'm trying to take her back
and forth to the doctor and stuff like that. So
you know, it's been a journey for me. How did
you get through that? A better grace of God? If
(05:15):
it was God God's grace and mercy, I couldn't have
got through it. It was rough, yeah, pretty rough? Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):

out there that's dealing with both domestic issues, domestic violence issues, yes,
and then of course breast cancer. How what would you
say to somebody who's going through uh, domestic violence right now,
you know, and they keep going back and they don't
know how to you know what I'm saying, how to
(05:45):
let go? Or what would you say to that person?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, let me tell you. Years I wish I had
in the state as long as I did. Yeah, but
I couldn't just go out there just like they just
go out there. I would have been in the streets.
And I want my daughter to be in street so oh,
you know, depending on my my ex income and everything
like this, I didn't want to just get out. But then,
(06:08):
you know, I just kept praying and praying until one
day I finally I got up and left.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Did you got the courage to leave?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I got the courage to leave. God, I prayed about it,
talk the Good Lord about it. It wasn't an overnight thing.
It took a few years, but I did leave.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Wow. Yes, So did you just leave free and clear
and you had no issues after that? Or was there?
Speaker 2 (06:31):

was moving every time. We know, we're looking up. We
was moving a whole lot, Yeah, to move a whole lot.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
So for those of you that are just listening to
the audio, we're on the pulse. I'm storming with you.
Mister Rita Jackson came up and she did not know
she wrote a letter the Chevy dealers. They on our
websites after sister strud we posted a contest and basically
we wanted people to share their stories. And I think
(20:49):
we might have told people that they might get something
or something was gonna happen, but you know, we didn't
tell you know, the whole story. So the whole story
is to everybody that's listening in to Missterita and Melanie
her daughter, the whole story is you wrote a letter.
You wrote in for the contest, wrote a letter. It
(21:09):
touched everybody in this room. Wow, so much so that
we called you a couple of days ago and I said,
I want you to come up and do an interview
so that they could present you with this check. Wow.
So how you feeling come up to that microphone. Tell
me how you feeling now, because you seem blown away.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I am, you know, I just want to thank God
for everything. To God be the glory. Number one. I
had been praying about a financial blessing. Didn't know this
was going to happen. I'm very surprised. I'm so surprised.
And then to see my church member here, mother Danita Brown.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And we had just got through talking about her.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yes, yeah, God is so good.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
But I knew she was here. You did, you did,
But I thought it was interesting how you brought her
up and you talked about church and all of that. Yeah,
well I may have brought her up because you said
something that miss Anita said when I interviewed her last year.
She said, once she got the diagnosis, she said she
(22:12):
was wondering why. Then she said why not me? And
I said, that's what miss Nita Brown said in the
interview that I did with her. Yes, so, Mid South
Chevy Dealers, they're presenting mister Rita Jackson today with a
check for five thousand dollars. Chloris surprise, surprise, Lord, and
(22:40):
Happy Mother's Day to you.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Thank all of you so much, all of you. Yeah, I.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
Had no idea, Yes, no, no, I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Oh you did no real, So.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
So come up to the microphone. Tell us a little
bit about that Miss Brown. You said you had no
idea about what no idea.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
When I received the email asking me to come and present,
just so honored because you know, last year I was
in the sea and I was just so honored to
pay back as they said, to get back, and I
kept We were had this joke about pronouncing your name, Well,
your name is Jerada, Yes, but I don't know people
by their names.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
I know them by hey honey.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
At church, hey honey.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
I'm serious, everybody hey honey, because I can't. I don't
remember names.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
But then when they she came out and said, she
said your name, and I'm going I looked at them,
I'm going to like, oh my god. And then when
I found out she's from Brown bathroom, when I walked
in and saw our face and your daughter, yes I
know them. But God is so awesome, just so awesome.
Just to keep blessing, just keep blessing us. I just
feel so honest. Did they just to be here? This
(23:51):
is better than winning the car last night, because I
love to serve. I love to give back because, like
she said, when I was diagnosed I said, God, if
you get me up off this floor this day, I
will serve even more and even better. And it wasn't
about going to church. You know a lot of people
get in church and they think that's service. Service is
what you do in the community. Oh, I pay my
(24:13):
money and I pay my tax. What are you doing
in the community. What are you doing for others? And
that's my goal in life is to be there for others.
And they just got through fussing at me, saying you
going too much, you're doing too much. I so well,
when cancer catch me this time, he's gonna have to
catch me because I'm gonna be by my father's business.
Come on here, and I just love y'all and thank
y'all so much. This is an honor for me. I
(24:34):
don't know what it's doing for her, but I feel
a praise.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
So I'm gonna be good today. I'm gonna be good
to you.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Don't have to be good.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Come on, so good.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Are you becoming what you've been through? You're still taking
care of your baby what they.

a mother daughter that's gone through similar things, you know
what I'm saying. Yes, and I know it happens, Yeah,
it happens. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Not only that, but you know when I was when
I was married to my her father, I went through
a lot of domestic abuse as well. Oh wow, on
top of it, while I'm trying to take her back
and forth to the doctor and stuff like that. So
you know, it's been a journey for me. How did
you get through that? A better grace of God? If
(05:15):
it was God God's grace and mercy, I couldn't have
got through it. It was rough, yeah, pretty rough? Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Know, and I know there are a lot of women
out there that's dealing with both domestic issues, domestic violence issues, yes,
and then of course breast cancer. How what would you
say to somebody who's going through uh, domestic violence right now,
you know, and they keep going back and they don't
know how to you know what I'm saying, how to
(05:45):
let go? Or what would you say to that person?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well, let me tell you. Years I wish I had
in the state as long as I did. Yeah, but
I couldn't just go out there just like they just
go out there. I would have been in the streets.
And I want my daughter to be in street so oh,
you know, depending on my my ex income and everything
like this, I didn't want to just get out. But then,
(06:08):
you know, I just kept praying and praying until one
day I finally I got up and left.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Did you got the courage to leave?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I got the courage to leave. God, I prayed about it,
talk the Good Lord about it. It wasn't an overnight thing.
It took a few years, but I did leave.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Wow. Yes, So did you just leave free and clear
and you had no issues after that? Or was there?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, I don't have any issue. It's just that we
was moving every time. We know, we're looking up. We
was moving a whole lot, Yeah, to move a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Places. We moved about five times until we got a
finally got our home today. About the grace of God,
thank god. It took a little while. Yes, you know,
you keep on praying and talking to God and trust him, Yeah,
everything would be all right.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah. So you go through that. You got your daughter,
she's she's grown now. Yeah, so I know she saw
all of this going on. How was that for you?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh well, I don't want her to see y'all what
you know we was going through. But she understood and
we made it through.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Y'all made it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
We made it. You made it. We made it.
Speaker 4 (07:15):

for medical issues and stuff like that. But still going
some things.

Right Yeah yeah, yeah. So tell me about when you
found out you had breast cancer. Tell me about that.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, you know, it was a shocking to me. But
you know what I said, Lord, you just help me
get through this here. And like I said, if you
keep on trust in talking to God every day, I said,
why not me? I'm not so good. I couldn't have
a rest counsel. Wow, but I said, god, you missed
so good to me, So, madam, which have a way
(07:56):

Through Yes, yes, yes, ma'am. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
How important is it to have like somebody to talk
to and and like a you know, people that you
can share your journey with. How important is it to
have that when you're going through that that situation?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Well, you know what, it's good to have that. But
you know, I don't have very many friends. Yeah, So,
like I said, I just keep on trusting in the Lord.

persistent with the prayer, yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1 (11:35):

based off what she'd gone through, because it sounds like
she went through it way before you did.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
Want to say, congratulations. You are rightfully deserving of this
and God is in the house. Take care of you
every day he does, and this is a wonderful occasion
for you. Sounds so happy for you, and you're going
to have a blessed Sunday.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So for those of you that are just listening to
the audio, we're on the pulse. I'm storming with you.
Mister Rita Jackson came up and she did not know
she wrote a letter the Chevy dealers. They on our
websites after sister strud we posted a contest and basically
we wanted people to share their stories. And I think
(20:49):
we might have told people that they might get something
or something was gonna happen, but you know, we didn't
tell you know, the whole story. So the whole story
is to everybody that's listening in to Missterita and Melanie
her daughter, the whole story is you wrote a letter.
You wrote in for the contest, wrote a letter. It
(21:09):
touched everybody in this room. Wow, so much so that
we called you a couple of days ago and I said,
I want you to come up and do an interview
so that they could present you with this check. Wow.
So how you feeling come up to that microphone. Tell
me how you feeling now, because you seem blown away.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I am, you know, I just want to thank God
for everything. To God be the glory. Number one. I
had been praying about a financial blessing. Didn't know this
was going to happen. I'm very surprised. I'm so surprised.
And then to see my church member here, mother Danita Brown.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And we had just got through talking about her.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yes, yeah, God is so good.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
But I knew she was here. You did, you did,
But I thought it was interesting how you brought her
up and you talked about church and all of that. Yeah,
well I may have brought her up because you said
something that miss Anita said when I interviewed her last year.
She said, once she got the diagnosis, she said she
(22:12):
was wondering why. Then she said why not me? And
I said, that's what miss Nita Brown said in the
interview that I did with her. Yes, so, Mid South
Chevy Dealers, they're presenting mister Rita Jackson today with a
check for five thousand dollars. Chloris surprise, surprise, Lord, and
(22:40):
Happy Mother's Day to you.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Thank all of you so much, all of you. Yeah, I.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
Had no idea, Yes, no, no, I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Oh you did no real, So.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
So come up to the microphone. Tell us a little
bit about that Miss Brown. You said you had no
idea about what no idea.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
When I received the email asking me to come and present,
just so honored because you know, last year I was
in the sea and I was just so honored to
pay back as they said, to get back, and I
kept We were had this joke about pronouncing your name, Well,
your name is Jerada, Yes, but I don't know people
by their names.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
I know them by hey honey.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
At church, hey honey.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
I'm serious, everybody hey honey, because I can't. I don't
remember names.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
But then when they she came out and said, she
said your name, and I'm going I looked at them,
I'm going to like, oh my god. And then when
I found out she's from Brown bathroom, when I walked
in and saw our face and your daughter, yes I
know them. But God is so awesome, just so awesome.
Just to keep blessing, just keep blessing us. I just
feel so honest. Did they just to be here? This
(23:51):
is better than winning the car last night, because I
love to serve. I love to give back because, like
she said, when I was diagnosed I said, God, if
you get me up off this floor this day, I
will serve even more and even better. And it wasn't
about going to church. You know a lot of people
get in church and they think that's service. Service is
what you do in the community. Oh, I pay my
(24:13):
money and I pay my tax. What are you doing
in the community. What are you doing for others? And
that's my goal in life is to be there for others.
And they just got through fussing at me, saying you
going too much, you're doing too much. I so well,
when cancer catch me this time, he's gonna have to
catch me because I'm gonna be by my father's business.
Come on here, and I just love y'all and thank
y'all so much. This is an honor for me. I
(24:34):
don't know what it's doing for her, but I feel
a praise.
Speaker 8 (24:37):

to you.
