What happens when you finally decide to stop letting others define who you are? In this powerful conversation with Lady Charise King, we dive deep into her transformative memoir "Sir, I'm Not Her, She's Not Me, We Are Not the Same" – a bold declaration of self-definition that's changing lives.
Charise shares the raw, unfiltered story behind her empowering mantra and how it emerged from moments when she needed to establish clear boundaries with people who misunderstood or misjudged her. "Sometimes people will project on you their insecurities," she explains, revealing how learning to correct others' perceptions became a crucial part of her personal growth journey.
With remarkable transparency, Charise unpacks how vulnerability after personal loss sometimes led her to accept treatment she shouldn't have. "People will see that you are in a situation in your life where you're vulnerable, where you may end up going the extra mile that you should not have gone," she reflects, offering listeners profound insights into recognizing when relationships are exploitative rather than nurturing.
The conversation takes an especially powerful turn when Charise discusses how some people "don't like you, they just like what you have to offer. They're jealous of you, but they want your blessing." This keen observation about human nature helps listeners identify potentially toxic relationships in their own lives while giving them permission to establish healthier boundaries.

It's such a pleasure and honorto be on your show.
Um, Dr.
Cox, uh Lisa Linda Book Club, Iam Sharice King, better known as
Lady Sharice.
I'm an author.
I'm thankful to be an authorauthor.
This is my first solo book.
Um I'm originally from KansasCity, Missouri.
(03:15):
I now reside in Arizona.
Most importantly, I just want todo what God has called me to do,
even when it doesn't look likeit makes sense when you seem
like you're doing it alone.
Go ahead and do it anyway.
That's mostly important to tellpeople I always bet on you.
Bet on you, because if you don'tclap for you, who else will?
You gotta be your biggestcheerleader.
Now that now that may vex somepeople, but it's the them
(03:38):
problem.
Um, I am the second oldest of achildren of five.
Um, I have a brother, as somepeople know, my brother, one of
my brothers, um, victim ofhomicide.
And I'm just, you know, want towalk in purpose and be an
influence to those who arestriving to be better, uh better
human, own up to who they are,as well as be a woman of faith.
(03:58):
And, you know, I just go throughmy process of here where I'm on
this life's journey to beimpacted as God has called me to
be.
And I'm praying that this bookis going to be a worldwide,
well-renowned impact for anyonegoing through any anything in
their life, that anything ispossible.
You just gotta believe and takethe steps, and it don't always
have to make sense, it's gottamake faith.
SPEAKER_03 (04:18):
Absolutely, yes.
I love it already.
Now you look amazing, girl.
I should do my hands up, girl.
But I know better coming on herewith Sharice.
I know I can't be half stepping.
I don't even know why I tried,honey.
And I am so excited to have youhere.
Now let's get into it becauseyou know when we Kiki, we kiki,
we don't have a kick, honey.
(04:40):
Okay, so we're gonna start withthe journey behind the book.
Now, Sharice, the title alone,for those of you who do not
know, sir, I am not her, she isnot me.
We are not the same.
That's not people in thistracks, okay?
Because this show stopped mewhen you told me, I was like,
(05:00):
What?
Oh, yes, please let me publishthat.
Take us back to the beginning.
What inspired this book and whatmade this the right time to tell
your story?
SPEAKER_02 (05:11):
Well, the funny thing about it is this has been
a saying that I have been sayingjust for years, you know, just
in uh moments of where, and thenwhen I say sir, it doesn't
always have to be a sir, itcould be a her.
Meaning that sometimes peoplewill project on you their
insecurities of how theyperceive you in some type of
(05:31):
form or fashion in their mindsetor their mindset of black or
whatever they're going through,or what they think they may know
about you, what they perceive ofyou know, because sometimes we
are all pre-judgmental.
We see someone and we prejudgeand think that oh, I'm I'm her,
or I'm she's me.
So it came from that statement,basically realizing that no,
sir, I'm not her.
(05:52):
You you you're accustomed tothat lady or that person over
there allowing you to get awaywith this or that treatment or
that low vibrating verbiage thatyou do.
And I'm like, no, I'm not her,sir.
She's not me.
We're not the same, we're notthe same cloth.
So no, you can't talk to me thatway, you can't treat me that
way.
And know that even in that, yougot to stand in it and own it.
And when you do that, um, itwill cause people to come to a
(06:16):
higher level of how they shouldspeak to other people because
people always say, treat peoplehow you want to be treated, but
uh the way you maybe want to betreated, I may not want that.
Some people, for me, if you andI are endearing and we're
friends, we're gonna call eachother terms of endearment.
And some people's terms ofendearment is not my term of
endearment.
I'm like, no, that's that's notfor me.
I'm like, I'm sorry, sorry.
(06:37):
I'm not sorry.
No, ma'am.
No, transparency.
SPEAKER_03 (06:44):
Now that is exactly what people need.
I'm telling real stories, notsugar-coated testimony.
And I love that you stand 10toes down in your truth.
You know, I tell you this allthe time, ever since the day we
met.
We're gonna be friends because Ilike the fact that you are raw,
I'm raw.
You don't take what I say to youtake what I say to heart and you
(07:05):
respect it, but you don't takeit where you're easily offended
or insulted when I'm just givingyou my honest truth.
And I'm gonna tell you why.
Because normally, well, and notnormally, because it's really
abnormal to people like us, butin today's society, people tend
to want to run to Facebook anddo subliminal messages instead
(07:28):
of just calling their friends,telling their friends how they
feel or what they're goingthrough or what they may have
said or something that hurttheir feelings or whatever.
And I'm not that girl, I'm theone you know, and I know we both
do it to each other, we do it toother people.
If you offend me or you saysomething, you do something I'm
I don't like, I got your number.
I'm not gonna put it onFacebook.
(07:49):
I'm gonna call you and say,Therese, I don't like that.
And you'll call me and say, uh,Cox, because you call me Cox.
Cox, I don't like that.
I don't like when you do that,don't do that.
Or I don't like how it made mefeel.
If you could do it to whoever,but don't do it to me.
And I think when you have thattype of genuine, real, raw
friendship, that type ofatmosphere lets us feel
(08:14):
comfortable uh with beingvulnerable and showing our
feelings because we know thatit's gonna be reciprocated and
it comes from a place of loveand not a place of insult.
So um I'm you are a phenomenalperson.
I'm lucky to have you as afriend.
You lucky to have me as one.
SPEAKER_02 (08:34):
I do, I am blessed to have you as a friend.
You have been sweet dear heart.
SPEAKER_03 (08:38):
Yes, girl, right here, okay.
I'm letting y'all know right nowyou got a problem with lady, you
got a problem with me, okay.
Now, let's get to the boot campexperience, okay?
Now, sis, because you know Icould, you know, I'm
long-winded.
We I could talk about how howgood a person you is all day
long, honey.
But we're gonna get into theboot camp now.
(08:59):
Now, sis, you were a part of mylistening art of boot camp.
So let's talk about that.
Um, what was that experiencelike for you from those first
writing prompts to that holdingthat bestseller, like literally
in your hands?
SPEAKER_02 (09:14):
How was that?
Well, well, the good thing aboutit was as you know, we had
talked about before.
I had been saying that I've beenwanting to write this book, and
the fact that uh I startedwriting the book and then you
did the boot camp.
And I was like, you know what?
Let me go ahead and get intothis boot camp.
Because even though I'm writingthe book, all the things that
you did far as the editorial,you know, the verbiage and how
(09:35):
telling me how to, you know,captivate, you know, the
sensories, to bring the peoplein, things uh uh to make sure
that it flowed very well.
So it was it wasn't to me, itwasn't hard.
And what it did was I hadalready been saying to people
that I'm writing this book, andI had already started writing
when we started.
I had already had three chapterswritten, so it had me, it pushed
(09:56):
me that I had to go ahead andfinish it.
I had to go and finish it.
I said I was gonna do it.
That means I had to go andfinish it, and that's one thing
that I'm grateful for myself onsome specific things when I go
back over and look at God'sreceipts on what I studied that
I was gonna do, how he uh allthe things that I have spoken
has come to pass, even if theybe good, bad, or indifferent, or
(10:16):
he was giving me a vision ofwhat the hell happened in the is
gonna happen in the future.
So I had already said I wasgonna write it in the spring.
I didn't do it in the spring,but when I said I was gonna do
it, I did it, and that was likehomework.
I had to get this done becauseyou don't know who's watching
you because people sometimesthey get afraid of doing
something because they feel likeit's too hard.
How did you do that?
But it's just putting one footin front of the other, doing it
(10:39):
even when you're doing itafraid.
He didn't ask you to know how todo it, he just asked you to
trust you through the process,and he's gonna always bring
people around in your camp,hopefully, that is going to have
those skill sets that you don'thave.
You don't need to know it all,just need to know some of it.
So that's why he said it's notgood for men to be alone, and
that is in the relationships inagape love, you or Euros love or
(10:59):
um um uh filio love.
So, so those things like that.
So it was good.
You uh when I got sent it toyou, you was like, do this, do
that, and you you know, show mewhen the guidelines of what
needed to be done, and then Ididn't feel pressured because I
signed up for it, so I signed upfor it, so it was accountable,
and it was good.
(11:20):
And it was great that when wehad our classes or our um
sessions weekly, you know, itwas great that also, you know,
we were able to talk about itand discuss it with the other
authors, so it can be verytransparent that people can
know.
Uh, because sometimes whenyou're doing something, you
don't know you don't know andyou feel alone, but we're not
the only ones that's everwritten the book.
(11:40):
Uh, because you're alwaystelling your people are telling
their stories, and it just itjust flowed and it got done.
Yeah, it was the process.
You came up with paper, you didthe trailer, that trailer, and
then when you had me do uh do myown voice over over on the
trailer, because I'm like, Idon't need nobody do no trying
voiceover for me, it's my book.
(12:00):
What what are we doing here?
SPEAKER_03 (12:03):
I love that, I love that, and I and and then um I I
try to tell people because theythink that it's just the book
writing, and I tell people no,like I literally give you
everything that's inside of mybrain.
So I give you the publishingaspect of it, teach you how to
publish it yourself, how to editit yourself, how to format it
yourself.
So in the bestseller strategy.
(12:25):
So you're gonna walk awayknowing exactly what it is you
need to know how to write,publish, edit, format, do your
own um uh bestseller campaign toguarantee that you have a
bestseller.
So you're gonna learn everythingabout categories, keywords, all
of that in this um group.
And as you can see at thegraduation, you know you did
(12:46):
extremely well when everybodysaid that you are gonna be the
first one to come out with asequel.
But I will tell you this Myracreeping up on you.
Don't be sleepy, okay, becauseshe's I was talking to her
today, she's like, I'm stillwriting, I'm just trying to come
up with my plot.
I said, Sharice, and I told herthe same thing, better be
(13:07):
careful because Sharice.
So you and Myra, y'all got likethis fun little thing because
y'all was the first two peoplethat was done.
Surprisingly, y'all was thefirst two people, so not
surprisingly, but you get whatI'm saying?
Um, there's a lot of experiencedwriters that did come into this,
right?
And for you guys, this but thiswas your first solo book
(13:29):
project, it was her first solobook project.
So for y'all to come in and it'sy'all's first solo book project,
and neither one of y'all weredoing um like devotional.
Y'all was doing like real books.
So it was it was it was a littlemore complicated.
So for y'all to be finishedfirst, it was it was phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
Um let's talk about the thewriting journey.
(13:53):
Now, because everybody knowsthat writing, writing ain't
easy, because especially whenyou're writing like a memoir or
a uh like what you were doing.
Um, so writing a book, thereit's gonna be tears, late
nights, rewrites, and momentswhere you question every single
thing.
Um, what was the hardest part ofwriting this book for you, and
(14:15):
how did you push through that?
SPEAKER_02 (14:18):
Well, um, so the thing about it was when we had
deadlines, and there was so muchI wanted to write.
Uh, because really these are myown personal stories and uh
perceptions and things that Iexperienced.
And then when you go throughthat and everything like that,
because you don't put everythingin there, because it could have
been a lot longer a book uh withmore experiences, you start to
(14:43):
wonder who are you gonna offendor not offend, um, your own
stories, and you have to wonderthe perceptions because it's not
the book was more aboutself-ghealing, also ownership of
anything that parts of I playedin life or what happened to me
in my life and what I got out ofit.
(15:03):
And will people will people seeit that way and will they learn
and grow from it as well?
You know, there are going to bepeople that may end up um
because sometimes people assumethings are about them and it's
not even about them, butsometimes you're just feeling
that way because somethingyou've done or something that
you perception, because we alsodo hear and read from a wounded
(15:23):
ear.
Yeah, it does every time, right?
You can be writing aboutsomething, and somebody may
think or can think if it's aboutthem.
It's like, how'd you come upwith that?
That because I know where I wascoming from, but then I guess is
that called conviction?
Is that pruning of the spirit?
Is that God, the Holy Spirit,using that book to talk to them
to make them see their part?
(15:44):
How well how to step on yourtoes?
Because this may step onpeople's souls, and then later
on, I may go back and read itagain, and something else I'll
be like, oh, I didn't I didn'tget that concept out of it, you
know.
SPEAKER_03 (15:55):
Um so we want to um stay emotional, vulnerable with
discipline and fear, right?
Um, but we also know that that'sthe part that people don't see,
the birthing process, you know.
(16:16):
It's beautiful, but it's alsopainful.
So I commend you for notquitting and for not letting God
you, I mean, and for letting Godum use your pen, you know, um to
let him write.
Um, now for your readers, whatwhat is the hope for your
readers when they pick this bookup like?
What do you hope that they walkaway with?
SPEAKER_02 (16:37):
Well, one, I hope they walk away with a better,
you know, uh seeing anotherperson of who I am as a human
being.
And that I, you know, if justlike everybody else, we go
through things and how of overtime and over grace, maturity,
wisdom, insight to give wisdomto other people who are going
through things, as well asagain, like I said, forgiveness
(16:58):
for myself and forgiveness forother people, and it's letting
your story go because yours, mystory may heal someone else to
empower them to go ahead and gothrough the process, and also
not only that, when they seethings coming up that may sound
familiar or look familiar, howto go about handling those
situations.
How about going have settingyour boundaries?
(17:19):
Uh, how did what part did youplay in it?
What a part of your it mightsometimes it could be um where
you wanted to fit in, or evenfor my part where there was a
part where in my life, after mymother passed away, I realized I
was vulnerable.
Um, and having fellowship withuh uh other people in the
organizations where I wanted tobe a part of, being accepted,
(17:41):
trying to go above and beyondbecause I feel like I have a
good heart, but just because Ifeel that way, somebody else may
not.
And then sometimes people willsee that you are in a situation
in your life where you'revulnerable, where you may end up
going the extra mile that youshould not have gone, and you
know it, but you don't stopyourself because you're feeling
lost because you're in this inyou're this in this transition
of space, and it's like, hey,hold up, I can see this is not
(18:05):
going where I wanted to go, andthis is not the caliber of
people that I want to be in, andthis is not what I'm accustomed
to.
SPEAKER_03 (18:11):
But sometimes you get yourself in situations and
stay there a little too long,and then you have there is
misgivings and mistreatment uhthat you have allowed when you
should have shut it downquickly, and people will take
advantage of the fact thatyou're vulnerable and use that
to their advantage.
SPEAKER_02 (18:26):
Trust me, you know.
You're a giver, yeah, a giverfinancially, spiritually, or you
know, going above beyond thatyou running errands and things
like that.
SPEAKER_03 (18:35):
But they really don't like you, they just like
what you have to offer.
They're jealous of you, but theywon't they want your blessing,
they want what's on you.
Um, um, and you know we've hadthat talk.
I don't even have to go deepinto that because my my
followers and my listeners, andthey all know what I've endured,
um, just even in this industryalone.
Um, but in in life, right?
(18:57):
People will see that you are ina space where um you are freely
giving and they will freelyaccept, um, but they truly don't
like you.
They don't like the blessingthat's on your life, they're
envious, they're jealous, theyall of these things.
And you talk about that a lot inyour book.
You you really do.
Um, you hit on those things, andthat's that's like I said, it's
(19:18):
one of the things I really,really love about you because
you are super transparent, youdon't sugarcoat it, you don't
try to paint yourself as thevictim.
You know, you you takeaccountability for your part in
situations, but you also willcall out a state, a state.
And I love that about you.
You you your hands right ondeck.
(19:39):
You you don't have a poker face,you let them know what time it
is, and I love that about you.
Um, so I want to get to first, II gotta uh play this from a
sponsor, and then when we getback, we're gonna talk about you
more and something special thatyou have for our audience.

(25:09):
we've seen the testimony, thebreakthrough.
But what's next?
What can we expect from youmoving forward?
SPEAKER_02 (25:19):
Well, you know, I'm gonna be doing some book
signings and things of thatnature.
What I'm praying for, and I'vereached out to some different
contacts that will, I wouldbelieve, prayingly will give
more exposure that will lead meinto some speaking events, uh,
engagements of that nature.
Um, even, you know, I'm gonnaput it in the atmosphere because
God can do anything.
I would even mind havingactually having my chatting and
(25:41):
chilling with Lady Sharice talkshow.
Even so it's all possibility.
Yeah, that, but with that alsobeing said, I was speaking to a
girlfriend of mine, and Ireally, really appreciate her
support.
She read the book and she alsodid the e-book and then she
purchased the book.
And so, therefore, it's givingme some opportunity to think
about some merchandise, somemerchandise, some quips, some
(26:03):
sayings from the uh book thatyou can get on t-shirt or some
other items.
So that's what I'm looking for.
You know, the funny thing aboutit is when this all happened, I
was going through a person uhtransition.
It's funny God, God, good Godis, which I'd already seen.
God will give you a vision andgive an inclination when you
have a spirit of discernmentwhen you're connected to the
most high.
(26:24):
And so, you know, this summer Iwent through some things where I
had taken a brief uh sabbatical,had to take some time off from a
job.
And when I went back, you know,and this is in my book, they let
me go.
And so at that time, um, it wasfunny to me.
I was cracking up when ithappened.
I just was laughing because youdidn't let me go.
And so instead of taking on ajob, I thought, with the same
(26:44):
amount that they're gonnaprobably try to pay me per hour,
I can be my own employer andwrite my book and finish my
book, and so therefore, thatoffer um offers more
opportunity.
So uh, you know, a talk showhope show, also as well as
connecting prayerfully with someother contacts, more exposure
(27:06):
and influence to help press thisbook on as well, and merchandise
and go from there, otheropportunities.
So any disguise of limit.
Sometimes when we're goingthrough things, and this is
really more, really, really moreof this what this is about when
I say sir, I'm not her.
What I mean in here, even aspart short part about this book,
is where I remember um there wasa time when I lived in Kansas
(27:28):
City in the um school districtthat I went to, had um strike,
and in that strike, they um putme back a grade, but later on,
some years later, I moved to goto move to live with my father.
And at the age I was, I wassupposed to be in a certain
grade, and my daddy was lookinglike, What?
You that don't the age and thegrade that you're going to don't
(27:50):
match.
So I didn't even go to thatgrade, and it taught me that
when you have a parent, an adultat that time as a young child
that believes in you, it makesyou stand up with your a little
bit more taller, it makes youbelieve in yourself that labels.
I don't need your labels.
I I'm not, I don't subscribe tothe labels or what your
perception of me is.
(28:10):
So it helps me to be confidentin myself to go ahead and do
what other people would maybesay.
Well, don't do that, you need todo this, and I'm like, No, I'm
gonna go ahead and go with Godon this.
Believe the report of the Lord.

SPEAKER_02 (02:55):
Sure, sure.
I'm more than happy to, andthank you again.
It's such a pleasure and honorto be on your show.
Um, Dr.
Cox, uh Lisa Linda Book Club, Iam Sharice King, better known as
Lady Sharice.
I'm an author.
I'm thankful to be an authorauthor.
This is my first solo book.
Um I'm originally from KansasCity, Missouri.
(03:15):
I now reside in Arizona.
Most importantly, I just want todo what God has called me to do,
even when it doesn't look likeit makes sense when you seem
like you're doing it alone.
Go ahead and do it anyway.
That's mostly important to tellpeople I always bet on you.
Bet on you, because if you don'tclap for you, who else will?
You gotta be your biggestcheerleader.
Now that now that may vex somepeople, but it's the them
(03:38):
problem.
Um, I am the second oldest of achildren of five.
Um, I have a brother, as somepeople know, my brother, one of
my brothers, um, victim ofhomicide.
And I'm just, you know, want towalk in purpose and be an
influence to those who arestriving to be better, uh better
human, own up to who they are,as well as be a woman of faith.
(03:58):
And, you know, I just go throughmy process of here where I'm on
this life's journey to beimpacted as God has called me to
be.
And I'm praying that this bookis going to be a worldwide,
well-renowned impact for anyonegoing through any anything in
their life, that anything ispossible.
You just gotta believe and takethe steps, and it don't always
have to make sense, it's gottamake faith.
SPEAKER_03 (04:18):
Absolutely, yes.
I love it already.
Now you look amazing, girl.
I should do my hands up, girl.
But I know better coming on herewith Sharice.
I know I can't be half stepping.
I don't even know why I tried,honey.
And I am so excited to have youhere.
Now let's get into it becauseyou know when we Kiki, we kiki,
we don't have a kick, honey.
(04:40):
Okay, so we're gonna start withthe journey behind the book.
Now, Sharice, the title alone,for those of you who do not
know, sir, I am not her, she isnot me.
We are not the same.
That's not people in thistracks, okay?
Because this show stopped mewhen you told me, I was like,
(05:00):
What?
Oh, yes, please let me publishthat.
Take us back to the beginning.
What inspired this book and whatmade this the right time to tell
your story?
SPEAKER_02 (05:11):
Well, the funny thing about it is this has been
a saying that I have been sayingjust for years, you know, just
in uh moments of where, and thenwhen I say sir, it doesn't
always have to be a sir, itcould be a her.
Meaning that sometimes peoplewill project on you their
insecurities of how theyperceive you in some type of
(05:31):
form or fashion in their mindsetor their mindset of black or
whatever they're going through,or what they think they may know
about you, what they perceive ofyou know, because sometimes we
are all pre-judgmental.
We see someone and we prejudgeand think that oh, I'm I'm her,
or I'm she's me.
So it came from that statement,basically realizing that no,
sir, I'm not her.
(05:52):
You you you're accustomed tothat lady or that person over
there allowing you to get awaywith this or that treatment or
that low vibrating verbiage thatyou do.
And I'm like, no, I'm not her,sir.
She's not me.
We're not the same, we're notthe same cloth.
So no, you can't talk to me thatway, you can't treat me that
way.
And know that even in that, yougot to stand in it and own it.
And when you do that, um, itwill cause people to come to a
(06:16):
higher level of how they shouldspeak to other people because
people always say, treat peoplehow you want to be treated, but
uh the way you maybe want to betreated, I may not want that.
Some people, for me, if you andI are endearing and we're
friends, we're gonna call eachother terms of endearment.
And some people's terms ofendearment is not my term of
endearment.
I'm like, no, that's that's notfor me.
I'm like, I'm sorry, sorry.
(06:37):
I'm not sorry.
No, ma'am.
No, transparency.
SPEAKER_03 (06:44):
Now that is exactly what people need.
I'm telling real stories, notsugar-coated testimony.
And I love that you stand 10toes down in your truth.
You know, I tell you this allthe time, ever since the day we
met.
We're gonna be friends because Ilike the fact that you are raw,
I'm raw.
You don't take what I say to youtake what I say to heart and you
(07:05):
respect it, but you don't takeit where you're easily offended
or insulted when I'm just givingyou my honest truth.
And I'm gonna tell you why.
Because normally, well, and notnormally, because it's really
abnormal to people like us, butin today's society, people tend
to want to run to Facebook anddo subliminal messages instead
(07:28):
of just calling their friends,telling their friends how they
feel or what they're goingthrough or what they may have
said or something that hurttheir feelings or whatever.
And I'm not that girl, I'm theone you know, and I know we both
do it to each other, we do it toother people.
If you offend me or you saysomething, you do something I'm
I don't like, I got your number.
I'm not gonna put it onFacebook.
(07:49):
I'm gonna call you and say,Therese, I don't like that.
And you'll call me and say, uh,Cox, because you call me Cox.
Cox, I don't like that.
I don't like when you do that,don't do that.
Or I don't like how it made mefeel.
If you could do it to whoever,but don't do it to me.
And I think when you have thattype of genuine, real, raw
friendship, that type ofatmosphere lets us feel
(08:14):
comfortable uh with beingvulnerable and showing our
feelings because we know thatit's gonna be reciprocated and
it comes from a place of loveand not a place of insult.
So um I'm you are a phenomenalperson.
I'm lucky to have you as afriend.
You lucky to have me as one.
SPEAKER_02 (08:34):
I do, I am blessed to have you as a friend.
You have been sweet dear heart.
SPEAKER_03 (08:38):
Yes, girl, right here, okay.
I'm letting y'all know right nowyou got a problem with lady, you
got a problem with me, okay.
Now, let's get to the boot campexperience, okay?
Now, sis, because you know Icould, you know, I'm
long-winded.
We I could talk about how howgood a person you is all day
long, honey.
But we're gonna get into theboot camp now.
(08:59):
Now, sis, you were a part of mylistening art of boot camp.
So let's talk about that.
Um, what was that experiencelike for you from those first
writing prompts to that holdingthat bestseller, like literally
in your hands?
SPEAKER_02 (09:14):
How was that?
Well, well, the good thing aboutit was as you know, we had
talked about before.
I had been saying that I've beenwanting to write this book, and
the fact that uh I startedwriting the book and then you
did the boot camp.
And I was like, you know what?
Let me go ahead and get intothis boot camp.
Because even though I'm writingthe book, all the things that
you did far as the editorial,you know, the verbiage and how
(09:35):
telling me how to, you know,captivate, you know, the
sensories, to bring the peoplein, things uh uh to make sure
that it flowed very well.
So it was it wasn't to me, itwasn't hard.
And what it did was I hadalready been saying to people
that I'm writing this book, andI had already started writing
when we started.
I had already had three chapterswritten, so it had me, it pushed
(09:56):
me that I had to go ahead andfinish it.
I had to go and finish it.
I said I was gonna do it.
That means I had to go andfinish it, and that's one thing
that I'm grateful for myself onsome specific things when I go
back over and look at God'sreceipts on what I studied that
I was gonna do, how he uh allthe things that I have spoken
has come to pass, even if theybe good, bad, or indifferent, or
(10:16):
he was giving me a vision ofwhat the hell happened in the is
gonna happen in the future.
So I had already said I wasgonna write it in the spring.
I didn't do it in the spring,but when I said I was gonna do
it, I did it, and that was likehomework.
I had to get this done becauseyou don't know who's watching
you because people sometimesthey get afraid of doing
something because they feel likeit's too hard.
How did you do that?
But it's just putting one footin front of the other, doing it
(10:39):
even when you're doing itafraid.
He didn't ask you to know how todo it, he just asked you to
trust you through the process,and he's gonna always bring
people around in your camp,hopefully, that is going to have
those skill sets that you don'thave.
You don't need to know it all,just need to know some of it.
So that's why he said it's notgood for men to be alone, and
that is in the relationships inagape love, you or Euros love or
(10:59):
um um uh filio love.
So, so those things like that.
So it was good.
You uh when I got sent it toyou, you was like, do this, do
that, and you you know, show mewhen the guidelines of what
needed to be done, and then Ididn't feel pressured because I
signed up for it, so I signed upfor it, so it was accountable,
and it was good.
(11:20):
And it was great that when wehad our classes or our um
sessions weekly, you know, itwas great that also, you know,
we were able to talk about itand discuss it with the other
authors, so it can be verytransparent that people can
know.
Uh, because sometimes whenyou're doing something, you
don't know you don't know andyou feel alone, but we're not
the only ones that's everwritten the book.
(11:40):
Uh, because you're alwaystelling your people are telling
their stories, and it just itjust flowed and it got done.
Yeah, it was the process.
You came up with paper, you didthe trailer, that trailer, and
then when you had me do uh do myown voice over over on the
trailer, because I'm like, Idon't need nobody do no trying
voiceover for me, it's my book.
(12:00):
What what are we doing here?
SPEAKER_03 (12:03):
I love that, I love that, and I and and then um I I
try to tell people because theythink that it's just the book
writing, and I tell people no,like I literally give you
everything that's inside of mybrain.
So I give you the publishingaspect of it, teach you how to
publish it yourself, how to editit yourself, how to format it
yourself.
So in the bestseller strategy.
(12:25):
So you're gonna walk awayknowing exactly what it is you
need to know how to write,publish, edit, format, do your
own um uh bestseller campaign toguarantee that you have a
bestseller.
So you're gonna learn everythingabout categories, keywords, all
of that in this um group.
And as you can see at thegraduation, you know you did
(12:46):
extremely well when everybodysaid that you are gonna be the
first one to come out with asequel.
But I will tell you this Myracreeping up on you.
Don't be sleepy, okay, becauseshe's I was talking to her
today, she's like, I'm stillwriting, I'm just trying to come
up with my plot.
I said, Sharice, and I told herthe same thing, better be
(13:07):
careful because Sharice.
So you and Myra, y'all got likethis fun little thing because
y'all was the first two peoplethat was done.
Surprisingly, y'all was thefirst two people, so not
surprisingly, but you get whatI'm saying?
Um, there's a lot of experiencedwriters that did come into this,
right?
And for you guys, this but thiswas your first solo book
(13:29):
project, it was her first solobook project.
So for y'all to come in and it'sy'all's first solo book project,
and neither one of y'all weredoing um like devotional.
Y'all was doing like real books.
So it was it was it was a littlemore complicated.
So for y'all to be finishedfirst, it was it was phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
Um let's talk about the thewriting journey.
(13:53):
Now, because everybody knowsthat writing, writing ain't
easy, because especially whenyou're writing like a memoir or
a uh like what you were doing.
Um, so writing a book, thereit's gonna be tears, late
nights, rewrites, and momentswhere you question every single
thing.
Um, what was the hardest part ofwriting this book for you, and
(14:15):
how did you push through that?
SPEAKER_02 (14:18):
Well, um, so the thing about it was when we had
deadlines, and there was so muchI wanted to write.
Uh, because really these are myown personal stories and uh
perceptions and things that Iexperienced.
And then when you go throughthat and everything like that,
because you don't put everythingin there, because it could have
been a lot longer a book uh withmore experiences, you start to
(14:43):
wonder who are you gonna offendor not offend, um, your own
stories, and you have to wonderthe perceptions because it's not
the book was more aboutself-ghealing, also ownership of
anything that parts of I playedin life or what happened to me
in my life and what I got out ofit.
(15:03):
And will people will people seeit that way and will they learn
and grow from it as well?
You know, there are going to bepeople that may end up um
because sometimes people assumethings are about them and it's
not even about them, butsometimes you're just feeling
that way because somethingyou've done or something that
you perception, because we alsodo hear and read from a wounded
(15:23):
ear.
Yeah, it does every time, right?
You can be writing aboutsomething, and somebody may
think or can think if it's aboutthem.
It's like, how'd you come upwith that?
That because I know where I wascoming from, but then I guess is
that called conviction?
Is that pruning of the spirit?
Is that God, the Holy Spirit,using that book to talk to them
to make them see their part?
(15:44):
How well how to step on yourtoes?
Because this may step onpeople's souls, and then later
on, I may go back and read itagain, and something else I'll
be like, oh, I didn't I didn'tget that concept out of it, you
know.
SPEAKER_03 (15:55):
Um so we want to um stay emotional, vulnerable with
discipline and fear, right?
Um, but we also know that that'sthe part that people don't see,
the birthing process, you know.
(16:16):
It's beautiful, but it's alsopainful.
So I commend you for notquitting and for not letting God
you, I mean, and for letting Godum use your pen, you know, um to
let him write.
Um, now for your readers, whatwhat is the hope for your
readers when they pick this bookup like?
What do you hope that they walkaway with?
SPEAKER_02 (16:37):
Well, one, I hope they walk away with a better,
you know, uh seeing anotherperson of who I am as a human
being.
And that I, you know, if justlike everybody else, we go
through things and how of overtime and over grace, maturity,
wisdom, insight to give wisdomto other people who are going
through things, as well asagain, like I said, forgiveness
(16:58):
for myself and forgiveness forother people, and it's letting
your story go because yours, mystory may heal someone else to
empower them to go ahead and gothrough the process, and also
not only that, when they seethings coming up that may sound
familiar or look familiar, howto go about handling those
situations.
How about going have settingyour boundaries?
(17:19):
Uh, how did what part did youplay in it?
What a part of your it mightsometimes it could be um where
you wanted to fit in, or evenfor my part where there was a
part where in my life, after mymother passed away, I realized I
was vulnerable.
Um, and having fellowship withuh uh other people in the
organizations where I wanted tobe a part of, being accepted,
(17:41):
trying to go above and beyondbecause I feel like I have a
good heart, but just because Ifeel that way, somebody else may
not.
And then sometimes people willsee that you are in a situation
in your life where you'revulnerable, where you may end up
going the extra mile that youshould not have gone, and you
know it, but you don't stopyourself because you're feeling
lost because you're in this inyou're this in this transition
of space, and it's like, hey,hold up, I can see this is not
(18:05):
going where I wanted to go, andthis is not the caliber of
people that I want to be in, andthis is not what I'm accustomed
to.
SPEAKER_03 (18:11):
But sometimes you get yourself in situations and
stay there a little too long,and then you have there is
misgivings and mistreatment uhthat you have allowed when you
should have shut it downquickly, and people will take
advantage of the fact thatyou're vulnerable and use that
to their advantage.
SPEAKER_02 (18:26):
Trust me, you know.
You're a giver, yeah, a giverfinancially, spiritually, or you
know, going above beyond thatyou running errands and things
like that.
SPEAKER_03 (18:35):
But they really don't like you, they just like
what you have to offer.
They're jealous of you, but theywon't they want your blessing,
they want what's on you.
Um, um, and you know we've hadthat talk.
I don't even have to go deepinto that because my my
followers and my listeners, andthey all know what I've endured,
um, just even in this industryalone.
Um, but in in life, right?
(18:57):
People will see that you are ina space where um you are freely
giving and they will freelyaccept, um, but they truly don't
like you.
They don't like the blessingthat's on your life, they're
envious, they're jealous, theyall of these things.
And you talk about that a lot inyour book.
You you really do.
Um, you hit on those things, andthat's that's like I said, it's
(19:18):
one of the things I really,really love about you because
you are super transparent, youdon't sugarcoat it, you don't
try to paint yourself as thevictim.
You know, you you takeaccountability for your part in
situations, but you also willcall out a state, a state.
And I love that about you.
You you your hands right ondeck.
(19:39):
You you don't have a poker face,you let them know what time it
is, and I love that about you.
Um, so I want to get to first, II gotta uh play this from a
sponsor, and then when we getback, we're gonna talk about you
more and something special thatyou have for our audience.

SPEAKER_02 (22:25):
Well, you know, I have the ebook already on
Amazon, and I have thepaperback.
So I also have decided that I amgoing to go ahead and do my own
audiobook, and I've alreadystarted that.
So again, um I've taken theclasses to be certified as a
voice uh artist over artist, andso therefore it's my book, and I
(22:46):
figure I think it'd be moreintriguing for the audience to
hear me speak and um do thebook.
So that is what we have comingup here soon.
So hopefully I will be heresoon.
I will be able to publish andcopyright my own audio book so
people can who are too busy,don't have time to read, or
don't do the e-book, they'll beable to go ahead and hear the
(23:07):
audio version of Sir.
I'm not her, she's not me, andwe're not the same.
We have a clip to play, so playthe clip.
Let's go.
Chapter one, how I became her.
I can remember it like it wasyesterday.
I was laying in the bedsleeping.
My sister was in her room.
I woke up to confusion.
(23:29):
I could hear it.
Noise, chaos.
What is that?
I got up, walked out of my room,into the dark living room, past
the couch and the coffee table,trying to see my way through to
the kitchen.
I wasn't even in elementaryschool yet.
I was a baby, but something inme couldn't feel fear.
(23:52):
I just went.
No hesitation, no secondguessing, just raw courage.
SPEAKER_03 (24:09):
But anyway, the voiceover was phenomenal,
phenomenal, and I cannot waituntil we get this on the show.
So stay tuned, you guys, forthat.
But you can purchase herpaperback of I Am NOT Her.
(24:29):
Sir, I am not her.
She is not me.
We are not the same fromwww.what she said dot is.
Okay.
Um, let's get a phenomenal job.
Phenomenal, but I already know Ilove your voice.
I love your voice anyway.
Um, you have so much personalityand girl, you are just a gem.
(24:49):
You are you are truly, truly,truly a gem.
Um, how you able to do that withall that personality?
You are phenomenal.
Um, now let's talk about I'mready to talk about um what's
next for Sharice King, becausewe've seen the rise of the book,
(25:09):
we've seen the testimony, thebreakthrough.
But what's next?
What can we expect from youmoving forward?
SPEAKER_02 (25:19):
Well, you know, I'm gonna be doing some book
signings and things of thatnature.
What I'm praying for, and I'vereached out to some different
contacts that will, I wouldbelieve, prayingly will give
more exposure that will lead meinto some speaking events, uh,
engagements of that nature.
Um, even, you know, I'm gonnaput it in the atmosphere because
God can do anything.
I would even mind havingactually having my chatting and
(25:41):
chilling with Lady Sharice talkshow.
Even so it's all possibility.
Yeah, that, but with that alsobeing said, I was speaking to a
girlfriend of mine, and Ireally, really appreciate her
support.
She read the book and she alsodid the e-book and then she
purchased the book.
And so, therefore, it's givingme some opportunity to think
about some merchandise, somemerchandise, some quips, some
(26:03):
sayings from the uh book thatyou can get on t-shirt or some
other items.
So that's what I'm looking for.
You know, the funny thing aboutit is when this all happened, I
was going through a person uhtransition.
It's funny God, God, good Godis, which I'd already seen.
God will give you a vision andgive an inclination when you
have a spirit of discernmentwhen you're connected to the
most high.
(26:24):
And so, you know, this summer Iwent through some things where I
had taken a brief uh sabbatical,had to take some time off from a
job.
And when I went back, you know,and this is in my book, they let
me go.
And so at that time, um, it wasfunny to me.
I was cracking up when ithappened.
I just was laughing because youdidn't let me go.
And so instead of taking on ajob, I thought, with the same
(26:44):
amount that they're gonnaprobably try to pay me per hour,
I can be my own employer andwrite my book and finish my
book, and so therefore, thatoffer um offers more
opportunity.
So uh, you know, a talk showhope show, also as well as
connecting prayerfully with someother contacts, more exposure
(27:06):
and influence to help press thisbook on as well, and merchandise
and go from there, otheropportunities.
So any disguise of limit.
Sometimes when we're goingthrough things, and this is
really more, really, really moreof this what this is about when
I say sir, I'm not her.
What I mean in here, even aspart short part about this book,
is where I remember um there wasa time when I lived in Kansas
(27:28):
City in the um school districtthat I went to, had um strike,
and in that strike, they um putme back a grade, but later on,
some years later, I moved to goto move to live with my father.
And at the age I was, I wassupposed to be in a certain
grade, and my daddy was lookinglike, What?
You that don't the age and thegrade that you're going to don't
(27:50):
match.
So I didn't even go to thatgrade, and it taught me that
when you have a parent, an adultat that time as a young child
that believes in you, it makesyou stand up with your a little
bit more taller, it makes youbelieve in yourself that labels.
I don't need your labels.
I I'm not, I don't subscribe tothe labels or what your
perception of me is.
(28:10):
So it helps me to be confidentin myself to go ahead and do
what other people would maybesay.
Well, don't do that, you need todo this, and I'm like, No, I'm
gonna go ahead and go with Godon this.
Believe the report of the Lord.
SPEAKER_03 (28:22):
Yes, let's go, let's go, and I love that about like
all the artists, not justShharice, but all the artists
that's in this boot camp.
