Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well all write. Hello everyone, it is time for the pulls,
ladies and gentlemen, and I got a special one for
you today. I am your host, Stormy, and I'm so
glad that you have joined me for this special edition
of the Pulse. Why did I say it was a
special edition Because I've got a special person on the
show today. I'm gonna let her introduce herself to you.

(00:23):
Tell everybody who you are and what it is that
you do. My name is Sherry Mackie. I'm the morning
show host of the Hallelujah Brands nationwide on iHeartRadio. So
that's about fourteen different markets where I do the morning show,
the early morning praise Party. Wait a minute, did you
say fourteen stations? Fourteen stations across the nation. So cheery, yes, Diane,

(00:46):
blessed God. It's good. So God has expanded your territory.
Oh my goodness, he has. It is forwhelming, It's overwhelming.
It is okay. So what cities besides Memphis? So I'm
in and if I start calling and go forget some people.
But Jackson, Mississippi, Saint Louis, Missouri, New Orleans, Louisiana, Mobile, Alabama, Montgomery, Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama, Savannah, Georgia.

(01:15):
I told you I was gonna forget some place. Yeah, girl,
you got about three to go. Uh huh, It's okay.
It's a bunch of them. The more places, the more places.
That is so fabulous, Sherry harpboy the same. I didn't Collins,
so sorry, I don't love you, just just a scased
she does, she does. You know what it is? You

(01:35):
know why I love these doing these interviews with us,
with people in this building is most people don't know
that so many of our air personalities and beyond are
so well known, not just in the Memphis community but everywhere. Yeah,
number one, Number two. I get to learn things about
you guys that I wouldn't normally know because you never

(01:58):
told me it was fourteen, and I remember a time
when it was eight, right right, Yeah, back in the
world fourteen. It's like God just keeps on expanding and
wowing and adding. So, so, how does that feel, Sherry?
Because most people when it comes to morning radio and
things are changing because now we're seeing where more women

(02:20):
are hosting morning shows. Yes, So how does that feel
to be in a position where it's normally been a man?
But it's a woman doing her thing. How does that feel?
It feels amazing actually, because you know you hear and
I was told directly and personally you're a woman. You
can't lead a morning show. Wow. You can't be the

(02:42):
lead of a morning show because you're a woman. Wow.
You can be the side kick or whatever, but you
can never be the lead of the morning show. And
it's like, you just have to remember that the steps
of the righteous are ordered by the Lord. Now does
a matter who says no? If God stamps a yes
on you, he puts his favor on you. Child. He'll

(03:02):
move mountains if he needs to to put you in
position and in place. And it's just I couldn't have
made it up. I couldn't have wrote this script if
I wanted to. So I did this. God did it. Yeah.
So how long have you been with the iHeart brand?
I've been with or with iHeart period? And the Hallo
you've been always been with Hallelujah. Since you've been with iHeart,
I've always been with Hallelujah. Okay, since I've been with iHeart. Well,

(03:26):
it was originally AM nine ninety the Light and then
after you know, then we took over and we became
Hallelujah FM. Okay, okay, and so then we switched to
the FM dial and all of that. So I was
there when it was AM nine ninety the light and
then we switched over to Hallelujah. How many years? So
I nineteen? Let me see two thousand, So it's been

(03:51):
twenty eight year twenty Oh goodness, gracious, twenty girl has
been that long. It's been twenty three years. Wowwy years?
Twenty three years? Okay, twenty three years. I'm twenty five
years old. I'm say happen right? We both are? I know,
rayld So twenty three years, twenty three years, twenty three

(04:11):
years of doing what I love. So twenty three years
ago when you started, did you have any inkling in
your mind that you would be where you are right now? None? None, whatsoever?
Did you even dream that you would be there? No? No,
not at all, not even a dream. I grew up

(04:34):
as such a timid and shy person, and a lot
of people don't realize that about me, and they'll say, no,
I am even today. If I walk into a room
and I don't know anybody, I'm going to go to
the furthest corner, the first seat I see and I'm
gonna sit down. I'm not gonna I rarely will make
the first movie star as going to talk to somebody.
That's just I'm just shy by nature. I guess. I

(04:56):
don't know, but I never would have seeing myself doing
this and certainly not hosting a morning show. I just
I never saw this, and I never certainly saw all
of the markets. I never saw all of the awards
of the accolades. I never saw any of this happening, Stormy.
I just didn't. Okay, since I'm talking to Sherry Macka

(05:19):
and she's on the Hallelujah brand, I'm gonna get a
little Hallelujah with you. I heard a message from years ago.
I want to say. Her name was Miss Joanna. She
was an evangelist, and she was talking about seeing it
and watching God make it happen. Yes, And when she

(05:39):
was talking about that, I heard a scripture that says,
I have not seen, ears have not heard, neither had
that into the heart of man. What God hath prepared? Yes,
for those that love, for those that come, those that
love him. And Lord knows I love him. Yeah, you
know what I decided to do stormy is give got
my yes, whatever you want to do, I'm willing. I'm

(06:02):
a yielded vessel. Whatever you want me to do. You
have my permission, I'll obey. Now, sometimes that's tough. It
is that you go through a lot of frustration, You
go through a lot of hurt, You go through a
lot of heartache, disappointment, betrayal along that road and along
that journey of yes, and you don't understand sometimes why

(06:25):
certain things happen. And you're frustrated because things happen a
certain way. But then now when I look back, I say, oh,
that's why that had to happen. Yeah, so we could
get here. Yeah, that's why this happened. I was hurt
by it. I was disappointed by it. I was very
upset about it. Yeah, but all that had to happen

(06:48):
for us to get to where we are today. That's
why we have to trust God, even then we can't
trace him. We have to trust him. So did a
lot of where you are I guess spiritually, emotionally, mentally,
all of that is it because of how you were raised? Oh? Absolutely.
And father's influence. Oh yes, my mother. My father certainly

(07:12):
could never leave out my grandmother, the late Mary Elizabeth Flowers, Motherflowers,
or Leah's as they would call her. So you a
church girl, you were raised in church. Baby, My great grandfather,
Bennet Ferris Green. Yeah, oh yeah, Baby, your foundation was
gonna be in Jesus Christ. Was he a pastor, No,
he was a dickey at the church. No. No, But

(07:33):
I don't care what we did, Stormy. We were growing up.
We were joke as kids. No matter what we did,
we were gonna pray. If we got ready to take
a trip, we're gonna all get around and pray. If
we getting ready to eat, we're gonna pray. If we're
gonna have a meeting, we're gonna pray. If somebody in
the hospital, we're gonna pray. It's something. We were gonna
pray about everything and anything. Everything we did always involved

(07:54):
God and always involved prayer and family. So you had
that solid foundation. Yeah, that I stand on the shoulder
certainly of my great grandfather, of my grandmother and my
parents both sides, you know, preachers and you know, leaders
and stuff like that. So yeah, that we had a
firm foundation in Christ. Yeah. Yeah. You know what's interesting too,

(08:16):
Like I said before, it's you. We always see people
and I always tell people people not to judge people
by where they are today, correct, you know, because people
tend to look at your life and they think, oh, wow,
look at her, she's doing all this, she's doing all that.
They don't even realize what you had to go through,
child to get to where you are, and the things

(08:37):
that you've gone through. And if if we just stop
and have conversations with the folks that we're jealous of,
or the folks how we think are better comic whatever,
you know, if we just stop and have a conversation,
we realize we have more in common with that person
than you realize. See, they see your glory, yeah, but
they don't know your story. They don't know your stories. Stormy.

(08:58):
I sometimes when I go and I speak, especially to
students at school. Yeah, I'm very transparent about growing up poor.
And I told him, I said, I didn't grow up poor.
I grew up pole because we can afford the other.
Oh in the r So to see God take this
little pole, little girl from Memphis, Tennessee that we barely

(09:19):
made ends, my child, We were struggling, we were on
the struggle bus. And to see God elevate, and God
promote and God turn those circumstances drown and do that
in my life and in my family. Child, Who wouldn't
serve a guy like this? Y'all know I'm a church girl.
Y'all know my church girl. But no, I mean you

(09:40):
know it was God it and you hit the nail
on the head, Stormy. So often we look at each
other and we judge each other and we don't have
a clue. We don't have a clue. We have so
much more in common than we realize, but we're looking
at the glory and not realizing the story. M h.
There you go. Sherry macke ladies and gentlemen on the Pulse.

(10:01):
She is the host of the Sherry Mackie Morning Show
on Hallelujah FM. And I just learned today in fourteen
markets across the country, it's a bad girl. By that,
I mean good. Yeah. He is. He's better than that.
He's better than we can even say that he is.
But absolutely yeah, and I am Stormy. So thank you
for joining us for the Pulse today. So, Sherry, yes,

(10:24):
in the beginning, what was it that you thought you
wanted to do? Well? Claudia bar got to send a
shout out to Claudia Bar. I remember being a little
girl and at first I wanted to be a nurse,
but then I realized I can't do blood and goods
and all the other stuff. So yeah, that was out
for me. And I remember being little and seeing Claudia
Bar doing the news. I think was on thirteenth at

(10:48):
the time, and I remember thinking I'm gonna be like
Claudia Bar and I was stand there with my prush
and I would say, I'm Cherry Mackie reporting, and so
I would practice doing that. I'm Scherry Mackie reporting because
I'm going to report the news that life happened. Stormy.
Let's put a pin in it. Y'all need to let

(11:10):
y'all little kids hear this. Yeah, bring the kids around
the radio trying to tell you because they need to
see it. Yeah, they need to see it and speak
it absolutely. And you know what I'm saying. I practiced
it that we need to give them hope, and that
is giving them hope. Go ahead. Yeah. And and and
here's the thing, parents, uh, influencers, aunties, grandparents, stop speaking

(11:35):
negatively to your children, to your grandchildren, to your nieces
and nephews. Tell them what they can ain't Nobody never
did that before, because they're going to be the first.
Don't tell them what they can't do. Don't tell them
what they can't accomplish. They can accomplish anything the damn about. Yes,
if they can see it, they can have it. Don't

(11:56):
don't discourage them just because you can't see it or
you understand how it could happen. Yes, being from Memphis
and seeing what's happening in our communities today, Yeah, with
all the talk about the National Guard, all the talk
about the federal agents, and all the stuff that's happening
in our communities right now, being from here, how does
all of that make you feel grieved? I am grieved now.

(12:21):
The National Guard that part bringing in all these agencies,
that grieves me. But also all of the crime hmmm
that was going on prior to them even talking about
them coming grieves me. It grieves me that we have
young men that don't respect their elders. It grieves me
to see our young men hurting our elders or robbing

(12:44):
and stealing and killing. It grees me to see the
poverty in our city. It greves me to see what's
going on in this city that I love so much.
I am grieved by it all, not just the fact
that the National Guard is here or not just because
they brought in all these agencies. I'm grieved by what

(13:05):
made them or decide or even have the opportunity to
bring these agencies in. What we need is help with poverty,
and what we need is help with funding for our
police department. What we need is help with changing the
mindsets of the people of the families that are in

(13:27):
these areas that feel like they don't have a choice
but to go out there and get it how they live,
or get it how they wanted they see it. They
wanted to all those different things. And let me ask you, this,
being from here, what stopped you from being one of
those people to get it how you live it. I
think it goes back again to my foundationation in christ.
It goes back to that. It goes back to the church.

(13:50):
It goes back to having morals and values. It goes
back to what my family taught me was right and wrong.
If that ain't joys, it don't belong to you. Certain
things you just you don't do the idea of me
doing anything where I'm selling my body or showing my
body or any of that. That's just so far beneath me.
I don't care how poor I am. That has always

(14:12):
been beneath me. Taking something that doesn't belong to me,
I don't care. If it's laying on the ground and
I see it that does not belong to me, somebody's
looking for that. Have you ever had in your years
of growing up a friend who did go yes that
way and you tried to pull him back. I have.
I have. In some cases it worked, and I can

(14:36):
remember one particular case where it did not. That had
to hurt. It still hurts. It still hurts thinking about it.
It still hurts because because I tried, I mean I tried.
I was the person that's gonna tell you all about

(14:57):
Jesus how much he loves you and how you don't
have to do this, and how he'll p for you,
and how he'll be your resource and all of this.
And I was that person. And to see her still
make that choice to be influenced in another way that
hurt me. That hurt me really really bad. Wow. So
what's helped you, I guess to kind of get beyond

(15:18):
that pain? Helping others. Yeah, because it doesn't stop with
one person. Just because she didn't see it and she
didn't receive it doesn't mean that they're on another thousand
women or men for that matter, that still need to
hear the message, still need to know who they are
and whose they are. Because when you realize who you are,

(15:41):
if you realize that you are royalty, if you realize
you're a king's kid, if you realize that you have
value and you have worth, come on, there are certain
things that are beneath you. There are just certain things
you will not do. There were certain things you will
not tolerate because you realize those things are beneath you. Yeah,
I'm telling y'all that this is the one that the
shall bring them kids around. It's right out. They need

(16:06):
to hear it, you know. And I think a big
part of some of the issues that we have in
our community is low self esteem. Absolutely, we don't love
ourselves and unfortunately we you know, we we have a
lot of kids, Yeah, who don't see what you what
you've been saying, girl, they're worth yeah. Yeah, but you

(16:27):
have to get there. You have to get there. I
wasn't always there. Yes, you have to get the e
to be honest. Yeah, I wasn't always there. And you
deal with that spirit of rejection. Yes, you deal with
that low self esteem and low self worth and you
have to start. You know something I used to do,
I probably need to get back to it. I would
get a mirror and I learned this at a conference

(16:49):
one time. Get a mirror, look at yourself in the
mirror and say, I love my eyes, I love my nose,
I love my lips, I love my ears, I love
my body, I love my feet, I love my hands.
Because so often we are presented with images, yes, right,
we are presented with images and say, if you don't
measure up to this size, with this hair lemb with

(17:12):
this skin color, with this whatever, if you don't measure
up to this, then you don't measure up and you
feel like I don't measure up to that because I'm this,
and you start comparing yourself. I always talk about the
disease of comparisonitis. That's a word I made up, But
I talk about that though, Stormy, how we oftentime, especially
with social media, and what we don't talk about is

(17:34):
the fact that these folks use that filters. We don't
talk about the fact that these folks took twenty pictures
to get that one picture at the angle, and then
we look at ourselves in the mirror and say, I
don't look like that. She seemed like she's doing so good,
but you don't realize her husband is going upside her
head at night, and they taking pictures on the beach
and walking and tiptoeing through the tulips, but you don't
realize the devilment. I always sit throm saying they're going

(17:58):
through at home, the cave, the drama stress. You're trying
to keep up with the Joneses and don't realize that
Jones are in foreclosure. They file for bankruptcy while you're
trying to keep up with them, and you don't know
what's going on with them. Grass ain't always green. Grass
ain't green, and that's terse that ain't even real grass.
But you're trying to compare your life. You're trying to
compare your husband. You're trying to compare your wife to

(18:20):
somebody else's and you don't even realize she cheating on
here with three other men. You don't know the next
man's issue. You don't know what's going on in somebody
else's house. But you're trying to compare your situation to theirs.
That's a very dangerous place to be in. Girl, I've
got to run up at it. Sherry Mackey. Now you

(18:42):
see why she is the morning show host on Hallelujah FM,
The Sherry Mackie Morning Show. Oh my goodness, girl, Oh
my goodness, girl, God is good all the time and
all the time God is That's what I'm trying to
tell you. Well, girl, Okay, let me get myself together.
Sherry mack has been honored in so many ways, you

(19:03):
guys that you don't know. And I asked her to
be on this show some time ago, and she she
kept running from me until she couldn't. Not this time,
but Sherry was honored in a major way Stellar Awards
this year. Let me let you tell the story. Tell

(19:25):
them so this year I was nominated for two Stellar Awards.
And for those that may not be familiar, well have
you been nominated before? I've been nominated before once before. Okay,
But I was nominated this year for two Stellar Awards,
for the Early Morning Praise Party, for Syndicated Radio Show
of the Year, and then for Announcer of the year. Now.
The Stellar Awards are like the Grammys of gospel music,

(19:48):
and so you're looking at radio stations, and you're looking
at personalities and people and radio shows from all across
the nation being in this category. And then it comes
down to the final four, if you will, and you
made the final four. I made the final four, as
you should. God it is good. God is good. But

(20:08):
to be nominated for two Stellar Awards was certainly a
huge honor, and Don Jackson, who was the founder of
the Stellar Awards, called to share that information with me.
I was like, what, see what? I was very surprised
and very happy about that. And then during the Stellar
Awards while I was there, I was honored by Urban
Soul Cafe with an award with them, So I was

(20:32):
very pleased with that. Yeah, that's awesome. And can I
share one other things show services we're talking about awards
and stuff. I am also honored. I'm up for two
awards at the Avidity Awards in Dallas, Texas. So I'm
very proud and to see again, going back to what
we were talking about, this little poll a Poe, little

(20:54):
country girl from Memphis, for God to elevate and God
to promote, but then to God forgot to allow me
to see these kinds of accolades and honors. It is
a blessing. It's amazing, it really is. I'm stormy. It
is the pulse. We always keep our fingertips on the
pulse of our community. And I would just not be

(21:14):
okay with myself if Sherry didn't come on the show
and thank you for doing it and for sharing too,
how shy you are and have been, because you know,
I don't think people realize that you can have I
guess be an introvert, yes, and be those things. And
also two things can be true at the same time.

(21:36):
You can be that way but also have a job
or position that you have to feel that requires you
to be an is it autrovert extrovert? There you go
and be out and you know, and become a social
butterfly when you really know you're not absolutely absolutely or

(21:58):
as I say, you got to turn on. Yeah, people
today are always on. Yes, we don't ever get to
turn off. No, if you're at Costco, you're on Sam's Club,
You're on. You know, no matter where you are, you're on.
You're on. Because somebody walks up and they say Sherry, Hi, baby,
I don't care what you look like. Look can I
get a picture? And I remember one time this guy.

(22:19):
I had my hair and a pony tail, and I
had just gonna run to the store right quick, and
this guy said, miss Sherry, Oh my god, can I
get a picture with you? I said, oh baby, not
this time. Look at my hair. I said, oh no, no, no, no,
he's I may never get this opportunity again. You talk
about humbling, Yeah, that was so humbling to me because
I thought you think that much of me. But then

(22:39):
that also taught me a lesson. Watch how you look
where you're going. But sometimes you can't help it, you know, Yeah,
because you Yeah, so you did it. And I'm telling
you it's it's it's to them, to somebody who feels
that way about you, Oh wow. What another because we've
both been in positions where people that we've admired, yes,

(23:03):
or that we've thought highly of, yes, that said to us,
come on here. You know what I'm saying, I don't
have time for this. Yeah yeah, yeah, they dismissed you,
they rejected you. The rejection go again. Yeah, yeah, so
you knew how it felt, and he absolutely Then I
took that picture with that ponytail. I know that's right

(23:26):
because people don't have to be mindful of you. People
don't have to care about you, people don't have to
want to take a picture with you. And how blessed
are you that people care enough about you or think
enough about you that they would even want to take
a picture of you or want to acknowledge who you are.
Don't get beside yourself and think you all that. Don't
stop believing your own press clippings where you think you

(23:46):
all that in a bag of chips, where people can't
walk up to you and talk to you, or you
feel like you're better than somebody else, because you're not.
We just all dirt. At the end of the day,
you know, in the likeness and the image of God,
come on here. And the unfortunate thing about that too,
that is reality. And this is these are teachable moments
for your young people that might be listening. You can

(24:08):
go so high, yeah, but when you come down you
might see those same people that you mistreated on your
way down. I always say this, Stormy, and I like
to say this whenever I'm interviewing to talking to somebody.
I don't care who it is or who you think
it is, whether it is the custodian or the CEO,

(24:31):
you treat them the same because you never know how
that custodian can bless you or how that CEO cannot
bless you. Right, but you treat everybody the same. That's
good and a reminder for all of us, because sometimes
you just need that reminder because we all get so
busy in life, yes, and we're rushing, and just just

(24:51):
be mindful, you know, just be And that's for me.
I need that, you know what I'm saying. I need that,
So thank you, thank you saying that. Yeah, be mindful.
God is so good to be, you know, when he
puts you around people, and for the young people that
might be listening. When you find a Sherry Mackie that's
willing to say, hey, baby, come on, I'm gonna help you.

(25:12):
When you take advantage of that, oh absolutely absolutely, take
advantage of the wisdom, Take advantage of mentors in your life,
Take advantage of people who are willing to sew into you,
to share wisdom with you, to spend time with you.
Take full advantage of that, and don't lose those lessons

(25:35):
and don't take that for granted. Yeah, that's good stuff.
Don't take them for granted, y'all. Find some people, get
your people, get your tribe, get your crew, get them together,
and find your people you know, and make sure that
your people are people that you that will help lift
you up and not bring you down. Absolutely, you always,
ever so often you need to evaluate the people in

(25:58):
your life. Evaluate your friend circle and who you call
a friend. If that person is always tearing you down
in a joking way, if that person is always saying
something negative to you in a joking way, that ain't
your friend and jokes and they ain't jokes. That's how
they really feel about you, but they saying it in

(26:21):
a joking way, you need to remove that person from
your life. The people in your life that should be
closest to you are the people that are building you up,
people that are encouraging you, people that are pushing you
to do better, to grow you know what I mean,
people that are supporting you. Those are the people that

(26:42):
should be closest to you. Are there times when people
there needs to be people that you mentor yes, yes, absolutely,
but the people that should be closest to you are
those that are pouring into you and y'all should be
able to pour into each other and find you toward
each other and find you some mamas too, that part
right there, and some daddy is okay, that part right there.

(27:03):
And be careful about you know that the people that
you pull in to be those mentors. Yes, be careful
because everybody doesn't want to be a mentor for the
right reasons. Oh absolutely, So we all have to be
careful of that. You have to be mindful and and
and don't just look at somebody and what you see
on the outside and decide, oh, I want to be

(27:25):
I want to mentor them because they blah blah blah,
and then you find yourself in a whole pickle, you
know what I mean? Come on here, hey daddy, Hey daddy.
And then next thing you know, he did you know
what I mean? Just I'm just like, did I say?
I told though show? Did girl? We got to have

(27:53):
you back on the show. And what did the time go?
It's almost time for us to stop this, Okay. So
I did want to talk about the fact that you
are not just a morning show host an employee with
iHeartMedia Memphis. Yes, you are at church. You're serving at church,
but you're also a mother. I am, you're a grandmother.

(28:16):
I'm a grandma. Okay, okay, now I'm with you. Girl.
You call your hey because hey, you know, that's personal
when it comes to what you want to be called,
that's personal. But you have twenty three years in but
all twenty three you've been a mama. And that's how
you can talk about, oh gosh, having to have that balance,

(28:39):
having to do all the things and the majority of
the time, a single mom at that, Stormy, let's be
real about it, a single mom at that and to
having to navigate all of these things. I remember when
my kids were little, going to the Universal Circus and
being at the circles and I'm trying to walk through
this because and the girls were with me, and I

remember somebody said can I get your autograph? And that
just always blows my mind. What but anyway, yeah, And
I remember getting ready to stop and Courtney looks at
me and she goes, Mom, why would somebody want your autograph?
Your mom? You know what is this? She was not.
She won't have it any nonsense. Oh there's something else.

(29:22):
Oh gosh. Yeah, And now that they're adults, they get
it now. But back then. They didn't get it. They
didn't understand what all this whole going to the concerts,
sitting on the front road, they didn't first of all,
they didn't get it, and they didn't appreciate it. They
could care less right about all of that. They just
wanted mom. Yeah, and you have to have the balance. Yeah,
you gotta be mom. And now you're a grandma now

you know, our listeners were hurt, but I was devastated.
And again, you go through things, like I said earlier,
you go through things and you say, why did this happen? God,
I don't understand, and you're hurting, you're upset, But then
you later realize, oh, we had to go through this

the glory out of your story, out of my story
where other people said it couldn't happen. It wouldn't You
