you are my cousin.

We also have a podcast by thesame name.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Awesome, awesome,
awesome.
Now let's dive into Virtue Chic.
Yes, you wrote this as a youngBlack woman navigating life
without your mom's guidanceafter she passed when you were
14.
How did that pain shape yourvision for Virtue Chic, and what
did you hope to offer the youngwomen throughout their birth.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Okay, well, I would
say my mother was.
I just feel like if you look inthe Bible under virtuous woman,
her picture is right there.
That's the kind of woman shewas.
She was always in love with Godand if you were around her for
any longer than 30 seconds, youwere going to know that the
(04:45):
presence of God just exuded fromher.
She was always warm, alwaysfriendly, always carried herself
with class.
She was a Sunday school teacher.
So that's what I knew, and Godblessed to have 14 years with
her.
The devil didn't want me to knowher at all.
14 years with her.
(05:07):
The devil didn't want me toknow her at all.
He didn't.
He almost killed her when I wastwo, called the family in, told
us to say our goodbyes, but shelived for another 12 years
after that and I feel like whenI would want to get mad about
why did my mom have to pass away, I just I can't, because I'm
like might think about the factthat we almost lost her early on
(05:29):
and that God allowed me to havethe 14 years, because I don't
feel like a virtuous woman or,you know, had the connection to
God.
I know I would not have, justbecause of the houses I lived in
after she passed.
I knew I would not have becomewho I am today without those 14
(05:51):
years and having that of Godfirst, and not just going to
church.
Yeah, Just because you're in agarage, that doesn't mean you're
a car now you know.
So she stressed, just going tochurch is not enough.
Have a relationship with God,you know, having him be the Lord
of life, meaning that nobody isperfect, but you're not going
(06:14):
to be out here deliberatelydoing things that grieve the
Holy Spirit.
That's the kind of motherraised by and that the pain of
losing her, I would say how itshaped me was.
I really just wanted tocontinue her legacy by paying
forward what she instilled in me.
(06:36):
And you know when you're 14,that's the age when you really
just you and your mom would bekind of beefing a little bit,
because that's the age when it'sjust like dang mama, everything
I'm gonna wear, you don't likeit.
Everything you want me to wear,I don't like it.
It's like the weird preteen,early teen years and going back
(06:59):
and thinking on it once I gotolder.
It was just like man.
So many gyms, like I wish evennow, like, oh my, I wish I could
talk to her now that I'm out ofthe bratty teenager phase,
because you have such a greaterappreciation for the nuggets,
like what she was trying to getthrough my hard head, teen brain
, like now as an adult.
(07:19):
And it made me want to writethe book because, listen, linda,
ok, society has gone off thedeep end.
Ok, it's like at your cheek,not no virtue.
She is ratchet chic out here inthese streets and I feel like
the message, even though thisbook was written in 2017, and my
(07:41):
husband like we have to have asecond edition or something
because I got some more stuff Iwant to add Just the way things
are and how, even with us comingup in the 90s, I'm a Gen Xer
slash right on the cusp 1981, ofbeing Gen X and millennial.
(08:02):
I don't claim millennial,though, but just coming up in
the 90s it was a lot.
And now the stuff that they gotout.
Now I'm so glad I did not haveto come up in this.
I feel bad for kids now, thetimes that they're coming up in,
but that's another topic foranother day.
(08:24):
Trust me, I knew.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Jaden for his 7th
grade year.
I had to come out of schoolbecause of some things that were
going on in the community andin that district that wasn't
right for brown kids.
I'm going to say it againstblack kids and against Hispanic
kids because this is my show andI can say what I want that part
.
So I had to come out but hebegged to go back to April year.
(08:52):
But now we got him in a privateschool, going to high school.
But at any moment I'm going topull you out.
You'll be at a cell academy.
You know I don't.
I don't play them games.
Dallas Academy, I don't playthem games.
I appreciate the fact that youjust like me.
I'm an 80s baby, 90s raised me.
I see the difference in when wegrew up and the things that we
(09:17):
were able to do that now my kidscan't.
I used to be able to go outsidewherever I wanted to, as long
as I'm back before sundown.
I can't trust my kids, we can't.
You know I used to be able togo outside wherever I want to
long as I'm back full sundown.
I can't trust my kids come on,yeah, right now.
We can't trust our kids to dothe same.
We can't say, okay, just gooutside and play.
No, I have to be right therewatching.
You can't spend a night overyour friend's house, no more,
(09:38):
because there's so muchtechnology and things going on
it's hard to manage that youdon't't know who's recording
your kid while they're gettingundressed, you know, and these
type of things.
So you know, I told Jay he waslaughing at me the other day
he's 14.
My son, he's 14.
And he was asking me somethingabout sleepovers.
I said you will never go tonobody.
You will never go to asleepover.
(09:58):
I said you will never go.
I said guess what?
And when you get your ownapartment, you won't ever have
sleepovers.
Nobody can come to your house.
He was like what I said youdon't think that's uncomfortable
?
Sleeping in somebody else's bed, taking a shower in somebody
else's shower, drying off withsomeone else's towel Like it's
uncomfortable.
It used to be uncomfortable forme when I used to have to go to
(10:19):
sleepovers and stuff becauseI'm not in my own bed, I'm not
using my own bathroom, I'm notusing my own bathroom, I'm not
using my own towels.
You have to rely on that personIf they're not as clean as you.
Just a lot of things.
It's like no, you don't want tobring home the bugs.
You don't want to bring homethose things.
I definitely understand whatyou mean.
I don't know if you still livehere, but we're in Illinois and
(10:43):
we should now raise.
I don't know if you still livehere, but we in Illinois and we,
we, we, we now raised us.
Ok.
So we already know how bad itis here, and it was bad when we
were going up, but it's worsenow.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's worse.
There's just a whole Antichristagenda to starting from a very
young, early childhood age topoison the minds of youth
against all things Christ it is.
It's an Antichrist agenda.
It is what it is, and so I'mtalking about.
The book is geared towardsyoung adult women and kind of
(11:20):
college age and on you know outthe house or whatever kind of
college age and on you know outthe house or whatever.
But high school girls couldpick this up for real, because
it's like the innocence of evenbeing in high school is not
there anymore, like kids are.
When they did surveys on whenkids first experience was that
average boys said they had theirfirst sexual experience in like
(11:41):
10 and 11.
I'm like what?
In like 10 and 11?
I'm like what what?
10 and 11?
Yeah, so it the devil is afterthe earlier and earlier and
earlier.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
yeah, I definitely
they teaching them things.
Um, they sent the letter homewhen my youngest was in the
second grade saying that if wedidn't want them to participate
in sexual education, that we hadto keep them home that day.
And so we kept them home thatday because, you don't know, he
was in second grade and it was apublic school and they wanted
(12:17):
to teach them about the LGBTQcommunity, which you know.
I don't have an opinion.
Well, I have an opinion, butwe'll talk about like that's
another story for another day.
But my thing is that I don'tjudge nobody based on what they
do, right?
I believe that I'm supposed tolove everybody, and let God be
the judge of that.
However, I'm not going tointroduce that lifestyle to my
(12:39):
child right now.
You know what I'm saying.
You want to make sure thatthey're mature enough and old
enough to understand what'sright and what's wrong, and then
you let them make that decision.
So I definitely understand youon that.
Now I want to get into yourtitle, because it rolls off the
tongue, right.
But what does virtue chicreally stand for?
(13:02):
Like?
How do you balance classy takescenter stage with keeping it
authentic to you, especially ina culture like ours, like we
were just talking about that.
So often misunderstands folks.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Well, the virtue chic
.
Chic is a word that means instyle, in vogue, and so I took
up my modeling background, mymodeling entertainment
background, and if you look atthe cover of the book it looks
like a magazine cover.
Yes, and if you think aboutshows we grew up watching in the
90s, like Melrose Place and90210 and all them kind of shows
(13:42):
they would have, there was thischaracter, yeah, Saved by the
Bell.
But 90210 specifically, theyhad this character, Donna, and
Donna was a virgin.
And the way they made thecharacter of Donna, it was like
nobody would want to be Donna.
Her clothes were not as stylishas the other girls.
She was portrayed as real, naiveand kind of dingy and it was
(14:04):
like it was a subconsciousmessage that being a virgin or
being virtuous or whatever thatentails, equals being somebody
that nobody would want to belike, somebody without style,
somebody homely looking,somebody just out of season,
just you know.
(14:26):
And so with this book, I wantto introduce the concept, or
champion the concept, that it'snot an either or it's a both,
and it's not like oh, you eithergoing to be stylish and chic
and beautiful or you, you goingto be virtuous, Like.
No, you know, you can be both.
(14:46):
You can have style, you canhave class and be a virtuous
woman, and so, and then I talkabout how to do that.
I talk about beauty tips, styletips, relationship tips,
friendship tips, like being avirtuous woman from all those
standpoints and contending withfeminist movement and everything
(15:06):
, and what it means to befeminine according to the Bible
and what it means to be feminineaccording to the world.
The two do not agree, you know.
So we definitely dive into that.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now I read in
Authority magazine how you
conquered perfectionism with adone is better than perfect
mindset.
What practical steps did youtake to move from overthinking
to taking action, especiallywhen launching Virtue Chic and
your coaching brand?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh, oh, my gosh.
Okay, um, cause I don't donothing else, girl, if I don't
do nothing else, I can overthinksome stuff.
But I had to get over that andI know there's some people
probably listening right now whocan relate Um, but I wrote this
book and it's fabulous.
But let me tell you, as good asI am at writing and as many
stories as I have to tell Ishould have, I should be on like
(16:06):
my 10th or 12th book right now,so we can talk about that later
because I need to start.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Oh yeah, I was just
going to say you are on the list
of Linda Publishing, baby.
Look you're okay, but we'regoing to get you right over here
, baby, so come on in again.
Come on over to the you got togo in.
Come on over to Listen.
Linda Publishing.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
For real.
That's the thing it's kind oflike.
Even when I was doing mypodcast.
That's a good example to use IfI tell you how long the podcast
had been on my brain before Iactually did it.
It is re-doggone-diculous,ridiculous, and I kept
overthinking it.
Oh, I have this.
(16:48):
Oh, I don't have that piece ofequipment, oh, I don't have this
.
Until until I started watchingother people's podcasts.
People was in their living room,People was just sitting in
front of a blank white wall andthe information in the
discussion was robust.
I wasn't even paying attentionto the fact that they didn't
(17:09):
have all the elaborate trappingsbehind them, and it really got
me to think well, I have somequality things to say I may not
have, and we all have to startsomewhere.
Even the people that we look atthat have all the nice things
that we go.
Oh dang, I wish you know.
When I grow up, I want my stuffto look like that.
It didn't look like that whenthey started.
(17:30):
It didn't you know.
But the devil wants us toconstantly be in a state of
analysis, paralysis, when I getthis, when I get that, when you
know it's always going to besomething else.
And one of the biggest tricksof the enemy is to make us think
we have all the time in theworld to do.
(17:53):
Come on now With long life.
Shall he satisfy me?
I'm not talking about no tragicdeaths, and you know, you just
never know.
I'm not talking about that, youknow, you just never know today
.
Maybe I'm not talking aboutthat, you know.
But I'm talking about the factthat, child, we are living in
(18:13):
the end times, the end times forreal.
Like the way this world isgoing.
Jesus could come back by thetime we finish this interview.
We could just like boom.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Like oh Lord, mama,
is that you?
I mean, I'm being funny.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
When I get there,
whatever that is, I want to be
able to tell God that I usedeverything he gave me.
I don't want to be giving Godexcuses Like, see God, I was
going to do it, but you know,like I couldn't get this
together and I couldn't get thattogether, and I was waiting on
my money to write, and I waswaiting on this and I was
waiting on that, and you alwaysgoing to be waiting.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, you know what?
My friend, elena Maria, reallygood friend of mine, you remind
me a lot of her.
She does everything Right.
That's who you remind me of.
I was telling my husband shereminds me so much of Elena.
Well, Elena has this sloganthat she uses all the time and I
want to make sure I give peoplecredit where it's due child.
(19:24):
She said that she uses all thetime and I I want to make sure I
get people credit where's duechild.
She said I'm not giving thegrave any of my potential.
When she said I was like bingoand you know I get, I get the
flack the most right out of mypeople because I'm talking about
like my people here in chicago,but they like jackie, always
(19:46):
coming up with something, firstshe doing this, then she doing
seafood balls.
Now she got her own shop.
Now you know, I was like I wasliterally the seafood ball queen
in the um, in the heart of thepandemic.
I had trades, people, balls andme and my, my husband, I can we
always end on and we make theseseafood balls and they used to
(20:08):
sell like hot cakes.
We used to sell like maybe 10,20 pans, like I'm really good,
like we can cook in this, we canburn in this house, but like
everything was shut down, nobodycould go to no restaurants,
girl, we was making them deliver.
Then I went from doing that.
I had a cryo skin shop, a brickand mortar that I want best,
(20:30):
oswego uh business.
I want a grant from oswego.
Like I was doing, I do a lotlike every time I look up I'm
doing something different.
But that's a creative mindsetand people like she don't never
just stick to.
We had a clothing, our kids gota clothing line, we did books,
we do a lot of things and sopeople always say, jackie, she
always doing something.
(20:50):
It's always something differentwith her.
But that's called favor, that'scalled gifts, that's called
using every single talent thatGod gives me not talent, but
gifts, because talent you haveto practice that and learn that.
But gifts are given, they arenatural, they come naturally
yeah, absolutely.
(21:11):
And so you have to make that'swhat God gives you, that's your
inheritance.
People be thinking that whenyou say that God going to give
you the desires of your heart oryour inheritance, they think
inheritance is going to come inthe form of a check.
No, he gives you the old babyand you got to collect them
vessels, and that's how you'regoing to make money.
Because you be sitting in ahouse full of oil and claiming
(21:36):
broke and not knowing that youhave that's what's in here your
oil.
All you got to do is put themin the vessels.
Put them in the vessels.
That's your inheritance, so Icommend you on that.
You are phenomenal.
I did my research on you, honey,but I did not know that you
could do that.
(21:56):
Daughter, look, because youknow why.
I didn't go through yourFacebook looking at your
pictures like some people do.
You know what I'm saying, butwhat I did do?
I did my research on you.
I read a few articles on you,so I knew what to come with when
I came today.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Girl, if I had went
through your pictures and been
like one of the little Facebookstalkers, I would have known who
you were Let me tell you youmight have still not, cause I
got hacked and count waspermanently disabled during the
pandemic on Facebook and I had abusiness page that had like
3000 people on there.
(22:35):
Like it was all my businesspages, my personal pages, all my
pictures, all of that stuff wasjust deleted and then they
banned me so I couldn't make anynew accounts for like a year
and a half, almost two years.
It was nuts, and I was so sadbecause I had posts on there,
things, people inbox youpictures from Linda and like
(23:00):
other people who have since goneon to be with the Lord, that I
can never get that stuff back,like all the memories just gone.
So the accounts that I have,now I'm slowly building them
back up, but you wouldn't havesaw the pictures.
That would have been like ohokay, you know, because all
those pictures is gone so.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I'm like starting off
here oh no, let's stuff back.
They can forget it.
It's over with.
They're going to get what's now?
Yeah, okay.
So I want to talk about thisbecause I've been nominated to
do tedx talks, but you actuallydid it, so man, wait a minute.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
You said you've been
nominated and you just, you
didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
You just like tedx
and I don't want tox, and I was
nominated to do the TEDx talk.
I was having a surgery done, ohokay, but I was having a
surgery done around the timethat they needed me to actually
do it, so so it wasn't.
I just say it wasn't my timeyet, and you know what I just
(24:03):
said.
It wasn't my time yet.
And you know what, I wasn't asknowledgeable as I am today and
polished, so I'm glad God saidno, it ain't time for you yet.
You may have wrote a good pitch, but it ain't time for you yet.
But you did a TEDx talk onnormalizing homeschooling, even
(24:23):
becoming the first black speakerto tackle that talk at TEDx
Talk.
Now, as a homeschool, mom ofthree, a working coach, a
speaker and a musician, I'mgoing to tell you, girl, how do
you balance all of that?
What does living look like foryou daily?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Okay.
So I will tell people that justbecause you do a lot or you
know how to do a lot, does notmean that you always have to do
it all at the same time.
That's the best way to answerthat question.
When people say how do youbalance, how do you do all of
that?
And I go, I don't.
I mean I do, but I don't ifthat makes sense.
So, for example, most of thestuff like the modeling and the
(25:10):
music and all of that, I wasdoing that before I started
having kids.
My husband and I got married in2009.
We didn't have our first baby,our son, until 2016.
So we were just pursuingeverything we wanted to pursue
in them seven years.
But then it was kind of like,and then I pursued a little bit
during pregnancy and after hewas born, but it's not the same,
(25:34):
you know.
And then we had our daughtersin 2020 and it was just like oh,
child, I have to pivot for real.
For real, because you know yougo to have one more baby and it
turned out being twins.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
You're like whoop
wait, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm
ready for another one now.
You gave me two what the world.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
So that was when I
started pivoting.
I'm like, yeah, I'm going to beat home for a minute.
And also we were literally athome during that time because
lockdown happened, couldn'tnobody go nowhere for two years.
It was just a really weird time.
But it was also a creative timefor me too, because I'm all
about thinking past limitations.
So if you tell me you can't dothis, you can't do this, I'm not
(26:26):
just gonna be like, dang, Ican't do it, and just sit down.
I'm gonna be like, okay, Ican't do that, but what can I do
?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
that's how my brain
well, you tell me, okay, I'm
gonna tell you, watch me do itand watch me be better than
everybody doing.
That's me maybe, baby.
I'm going to tell you, watch medo it and watch me be better
than everybody doing it.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
That's me, baby, baby
.
I'm going to take pictures.
I'm going to do it twice.
I'm going to have video clips,I'm going to have reels.
You're going to be like what?
Okay, don't tell her, she can'tdo nothing else.
But that's how all the rest ofit happened.
And focusing on the kids, and soI got into the homeschooling
and I never took my kids, neverwent to school, so it wasn't
(27:04):
like I had them in school andthen I pulled them out at
homeschool Like none of themhave ever been.
They just they think everybodymama being their teacher is
normal because that's what theyknow.
But the whole experience doingthe TEDx talk and God just
opening that door, and I sent abunch of pitches out, but the
(27:27):
pitch that got accepted was thehomeschool talk and I was like
this is the Lord, because theseason that we're in, when I
first started doinghomeschooling it was not, it
wasn't chic every, it wasn'tlike everybody's doing it.
You know, black families arethe fastest growing group of
homeschoolers in the nation andwe are um, it wasn't like that
(27:49):
back when God told me like assoon as I got pregnant, you know
, and now you know, I'm prayingabout the baby and stuff and
he's just like you know, okay,and I didn't need much
convincing Cause I used to be aChicago public school teacher.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I can't unsee and
we're going to leave that right
there not only a product of it,but I used to be a lead teacher
too.
I think it was like zero tothree years old.
I did daycare and then I didafter school program with the
YMCA at a bunch of schools whereI was actually teaching after
(28:26):
school programs, and so trust mebeing a product of it first,
then going back to it to teachoh, we know.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, very eye
opening.
Know some things.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
And that's why I got
out of that 's why I got mine
out of that.
And then I'm thinking a littleminute which was a better school
system as far as likecurriculum wise, right, but it's
gonna always be challenges.
You know, even now I, my oldest, he got accepted to the number
three school in the state.
Um, it's a private christiancollege preparatory school,
(29:06):
right, and I accepted into, intothat school I can't name it
because I don't need no weirdostrying to go see my child but I
will say that, right, I gotta becareful and be a jayden, real
private.
Anyway, he don't be going.
People know his being.
But i'ma tell a little bitbecause I brought you here.
But so, but even with that,right, it's gonna still be
(29:30):
challenges and stuff, you know,and you don't want to shield
your child from too much.
But I always say, because I've,I've changed schools with my
kids so many times I can't evencount because I feel like I see
any type of mistreatment towardsmy child, I have dominion over
him.
So you get in these schools andthey think that they can tell
(29:51):
you how to raise your kid andthey think that they could, they
could treat your kid any typeof way, because you're like you,
like you are set in stone, haveto be there and I have to let
them know.
Do you guys not understand thatI have dominion over my child?
If I said my child out of here,y'all better give me the
paperwork.
And OK, you want to treat themlike that?
All right, get them up out ofhere.
(30:11):
Oh, y'all being racist, getthem up out of here.
I just said get them up out ofhere.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
So many times they
need to give me a trademark for
it.
Then you said I answered yourquestion.
You said do y'all notunderstand that I have dominion
over this child?
The answer to that question isno, they do not understand that.
And I'm not being funny, it'simportant.
Y'all hear me, I'm being veryserious.
They do not understand thatOnce you put your child in
(30:38):
school, in their mind your childis property of the government.
They do not have to approve anycurriculum with you.
They can teach them howeverthey want to teach them and they
can rear and shape their mindsto serve the purposes of the
state.
And I did air quotes, becausethat is a literal quote from our
(31:02):
government.
Look it up.
In Illinois they're shapingkids to serve the purposes of
the state.
Now, if you want your child togrow up and serve the purposes
of God, you have to be veryintentional.
Even if you're not homeschooled, you have to be very, very,
very intentional, askingquestions, not just how was your
day fine?
No, dig in their business.
(31:24):
Go to all the conferences, goto all the things.
Make your face and yourpresence known.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Parents, please
understand.
If you don't want your child ata school or your child is being
mistreated, you can take thatchild out that school whenever
you want to.
They cannot tell you that.
You cannot unenroll ordisenroll or withdraw your child
and you do not have to tellthem what school your child is
(31:55):
going to.
You do not have to get them.
They have to give you everydocument that you've ever signed
, all your transcripts, and youjust let.
If you don't want them to know,you check that box Private,
private.
This is a great podcast, Ain'tit good, some good work.
We let them know how to protecttheir kids because a lot of
(32:19):
people they don't want to.
They feel like, ok, well, Ihave to work.
We got a lot of people theydon't want to.
They they feel like, okay, well, I have to work.
We got a lot of single moms outhere who might not be able to
hold your child.
You might not be able to holdyour child, but you could send
your child, like I'm just goingto say it to um.
Uh, what's the school I sent myson to?
Um, I send them to a different,like all type of private
schools catholic schools,christian schools and guess what
(32:41):
they have, um, they havetuition.
They have like they can.
They can give you scholarships.
They have um financial aid thatyou can get, so it's ways that
you can be able to afford it,you know.
So if you don't want your childlearning certain things and
learn certain patterns andthings that they trying to
indoctrinate into your child,you can absolutely pull your
(33:04):
child and do not be ashamed.
I have pulled my kids fromdaycare.
I have pulled my kids fromafter school programs.
I have pulled my child frompublic schools.
I have pulled my child from anyschool that I feel is not
treating my child right.
I have pulled them from it andI didn't care about the backlash
, I didn't care about the flipand the top.
All she do.
Every year, them kids go up toa different school.
(33:25):
Yeah, because you can let yoursbe missed.
Come on, okay, I'm raising, I'ma black mom with black boys.
They might have a little blackskin, but guess what?
They still black and they stillget treated black.
And we let our kids know inthis house you're going to be
100% God first.
(33:46):
You're going to be 100% in thatBible, but you are also 100%
black and just because your skinmight be a little lighter,
they're going to treat you thesame.
Matter of fact, you're going toget it from both ends, like
your mama did, because blackpeople people gonna mistreat you
because you light skin, and thewhite people gonna mistreat you
because you're still black.
So you lost both times.
You lost both times.
(34:07):
Don't never think, becauseyou're hanging with these, these
people who are of a differentrace than you, that you are
going to be, you have to workfive times.
It's hard to get at least halfof what they get handed to them
on the silver platter.
And as long as you fly first,you're going to be okay, that's
it.
(34:29):
That's it girl, girl, I don't gofor Duke girl, you should have
been calling me girl, I know.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Girl listen, girl
listen, I would be just like you
.
That's why I never put them inthere.
I would be like, no, you can'tpulling them out.
So I just I already know how Iam and how I get down, and so
I'm just like I'm just puttingy'all in there.
But now, because I know it'sgoing to be people listening
(35:03):
that say I can't afford to.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
I can't afford to.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I will say this this
is one of the biggest myths
about people who home schoolthat we just rolling in the
dough and we got it like thatand we privileged, and that's
why we homeschooled.
This is a choice.
This is not a privilege.
This is a choice that we madewhere we could be a two income
(35:33):
household, but we forego.
You know, I decided to foregomy.
I have a master's degree inspecial education and I could be
teaching, making decent money,you know, or I could have a job
doing something else if I wantedto put into another career
(36:02):
motivation into why I started myown company in the first place,
because it's my own business.
I can be flexible with thehours and, you know, shift my
schedule.
However, I need to to stillhomeschool and still do business
, and so that was a choice Imade.
Has it been always easy?
No, but instead of looking atit as this is something, this is
not something we can afford todo, I look at it as we can't
(36:24):
afford not to.
Exactly the cost of letting ourkids get eaten alive by this
demonic system is too great.
It's a cost I'm not willing topay.
Yeah, absolutely.
I don't care if I got to workday shift and Rodney got to work
night shift or vice versa, Idon't care, we just always going
to be homeschooled.
If it gets, if the economy gettoo bad, we're one of us got to
(36:47):
go to work, baby, we still goingto be homeschooling.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
You know like it's
just going to break, because
when you're homeschooling, youcould teach them at your own
pace.
That's another thing I likeabout it.
When you're homeschooling, youcould teach them at your own
pace.
That's another thing I likeabout it.
Jayden was able to get collegecredits when he was home.
I mean high school credits whenhe was homeschooled for a year,
because he actually wentthrough.
We went through a seller'sacademy to homeschool him.
(37:13):
It was $70 a month, yes, and itwas phenomenal.
They provided him with all thetools.
He took Portuguese.
He did everything in seventhgrade and he was phenomenal.
They provided him with all thetools.
He took Portuguese.
He did everything in seventhgrade and he actually finished
early.
You get what I'm saying.
So it's like you can do it atyour own pace, you can pause,
you can go back, like I said,$79, and he learned everything
(37:35):
he needed.
When he went back, he was at a4.0.
So, not that he's ever beenbelow a 3, you know, but he was
at a 4.0 when he went back.
Because you know why he wasn'tgetting judged by his skin color
.
He wasn't getting treated, youknow, biased.
You know Jaden has been on aroll since kindergarten.
So you know he graduated fromthat school, not from homeschool
(37:58):
, but he graduated from theschool because he wanted to go
back with his friends andgraduate and he graduated.
They didn't get him an awardand my baby was on the road the
whole time.
He was there.
Wow, jayden has a PresidentialAll-Into-Service Award.
He has three awards from theMayor of Aurora.
He has the Martin Luther KingService Above Self Award.
(38:20):
He has all these, a two-timebest-selling author and he gets
no award.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
See, that's the kind
of stuff that is psychological
warfare.
That is what it is that ourkids go through.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I'm one of them.
Mamas, I'll make you an award,Is you okay?
I'll make you an award, babyand man me more than that.
So you don't need to validateyou.
I always teach my kids, myyoungest son he's the most
politest kid, very well mannered, very well spoken.
(39:00):
You know he goes to schoolevery day.
They don't want to give him nolittle award that they give the
kids for being helpful and stufflike that A character count.
I made him a character countwhen he got home.
Okay, you don't need nobody tovalue you.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
You have to
constantly affirm them and
uplift them because and you haveto constantly affirm them and
uplift them because, yeah, Iplay mind games like that- and
you see, it.
You know you did better thanthem, but you're not getting the
word.
And they get in the ward andyou're like what's wrong with me
?
The devil is a lie.
Ain't nothing wrong with you,that's a them problem.
God sees you, I see you.
We have to do this for our kids.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
We teach our kids If
you got a bad grade or whatever,
I'm going to let you knowsomething If you ain't in
trouble with your mama and yourdaddy, you ain't in trouble with
nobody.
You're not going to let thempeople get up under your skin or
get you upset about anything ormake you feel like you didn't
(40:02):
do something right or whatever,because we teach our kids early
that it's an agenda against theblack men okay, against black
period, but especially blackyoung men.
So we teach our kids, you know,hey, don't show it.
Still, go in with humility andgrace and let God fight the
battle.
But we just want them to knowthere's nothing wrong with them.
(40:24):
Ok, there's nothing wrong withyou.
And if they don't give you awar, your mama is the best
digital creator in the universe.
Baby, you don't have an award.
And they're going to win theChicago Tribune twice, jaden.
And they're going to see you inthe Chicago Tribune twice,
jaden.
Okay, they're going to see youwith two bestsellers Marvis Jr.
(40:45):
Okay, they're going to go forMaz with the presidential
achievement award Okay, don't,nobody want to give them one.
I'll sign up.
I'm a certified person to givethem out now, even though they
ain't doing them, but I'mcertified to present them now.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
You were saying, you
said they ain't doing them no
more?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Why they ain't doing
them no more, Girl we See you
trying to get me in trouble onBeyonce.
Get me in trouble on Beyonceinternet.
Look, I understand.
They said Okay.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
We're going to take a
four year pause we'll get back
to that after that.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Look I ain't get.
Look they done.
Shut down Stephen Colbert.
I like my little show.
I have to go back to Facebooklive messing around with you.
Know we ain't about to do it.
I got too many shows.
Girl, you know me, I don't care, do it, I got too many shows.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Girl, you know me, I
don't care Girl.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I don't care, I don't
care, I don't care, I don't
care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I
don't care, I don't care, Idon't care, I don't care, I
don't care, I don't care, Idollars child.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Girl, that's so funny
.
I don't care nothing about thatstuff.
I be like I don't care Yo.
But you know that I'm justsaying I don't care, like the
politics stuff I don't care.
First of all, I'm one of thempeople.
I really do think that theDemocrats and the Republicans,
the right wing and left wing, istwo wings of the same bird and
(42:23):
life will be a lot better for alot of people once they realize
that.
And the division and the actinglike we in separate gangs and
we don't talk to people fromwhere the red and my color is
blue, and gang, gang gang Girl.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
That sure remind me
of the blood in the crips.
Baby, you ain't how people beacting over these political
parties.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I'm like people at
the top pulling the puffer
strings is laughing at y'all.
They all playing golf with them, laughing at y'all.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Look, I'm not on any
one of the team, but if I had to
choose, I'd fight for thelesser devil.
Okay, that's all I'ma say.
I'd fight for the lesser devil,that's all I'm going to say.
I fight for the lesser devil.
But I think all things happenaccording to God's plan.
You have to see what's going onright now.
You think it's wreckage, butlook at the weather, look at
(43:17):
what's going on, look at what'sgoing on in the news right now
about stuff that was here butdon't magically disappeared.
So it's like, you know when,when the devil think he won,
(43:37):
that's when god show up.
So, like me, and my husband wassaying, we don't sit in our
house and this air conditionedhouse that the Lord keep us with
every, every year, every month,every day, praise the Lord for
favor, and all the bills aregoing to always be paid and the
raise is going to always be full, and the kids ain't going to
(43:57):
never not even Robux that theybreak my pocket with these Robux
y'all.
They don't want nothing.
Okay, and we're gonna sit backand we're just gonna watch the
circus.
Okay, and we're gonna let itpass, because, guess what?
This too, this too, shall pass.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
It shall, but I'm
just gonna tell my people, I'm
to tell y'all I can do with thisinformation whatever y'all want
to.
Y'all can pray about it, let itbe marinated and shine it out,
but don't get to talking aboutwho you will never, ever, ever
vote for or who you will never,ever, ever, ever.
God will humble you.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Because what's going
to really cook your goose is
when you get to thinking aboutthe fact that all the stuff
we're talking about and thereasons we want to homeschool
our kids, and the stuff in theseschool systems that we don't
like, the people that our, theparty, that our people have been
conditioned to vote for, arethe people that's championing
all of this.
Amen to that.
(45:01):
I'm just saying it's an ouchmoment.
So you don't say I never votered.
I never, ever.
If God tell you to, we will.
Speaker 2 (45:14):
And that's why.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
I say we have to
carry that with a grain of salt.
He'll show you.
You can't be married to oneparty or another because, baby,
when it comes down to my kids,I'm going to look at elections
who is standing for what.
And you stand for anything thatgoes against this Bible,
anything that goes against myagenda that God has given me and
(45:37):
my husband for our kids.
I vote for you.
Ain't no lifelong Democrat.
If you own foolishness, I'm notvoting for you.
Ain't no lifelong Republican.
If you own foolishness, I'm notvoting for you.
And that's on period.
And that's how we have to lookat all of this Weigh it out
against what the Bible is sayingand vote accordingly.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
That's the posture we
have to take, and even when we
vote accordingly and we do theright thing.
We have to trust God inwhatever happens after that.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
Whatever happens
happens literally.
Just let it be.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Just let it be and
watch it pass.
That's why I'm at with it now.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
We can get whole
family getting split up over
this mess, like we don't talk tothem no more because they voted
for.
Like are you serious?
Speaker 2 (46:27):
it's never that
serious everything because of
that and it's like, yeah, thingis, what happened to the time
where votes used to be private,like nobody got into that, who
did you vote for?
Like why two things private,and you couldn't ask nobody
(46:47):
about.
And there used to be religion,religion and and who you voted
for, your political yeah, andthat was the time, like I said,
that we grew up in in the 80sand 90s, you couldn couldn't ask
nobody, don't worry about who Ivote for, you know.
But now it's normal and thatused to keep friendships, that
(47:12):
used to keep bonds and familybecause they didn't cross those
boundaries.
But now it's just likeboundaries are no more and
people you know what it is.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
You were saying that
used to keep friendships.
You know what it is.
It's we looked for commonground.
Yeah, look what let's not focuson, you know, differences of
religion or differences ofpolitics.
Let's focus on what we have incommon and what you're doing
morally.
Yeah, now it's no, there's no,find no common ground.
(47:46):
It's we're going to lead withdifferences.
Yeah, it's a spirit of division, you know it's kind of.
You remember that movieDivergent?
Yes, it was like it was booksand it was actually one of the
movies on the extras in movies.
But that movie is so prophetic,that's one of the movies like
Matrix.
(48:06):
Every time you watch it you canget something out of it.
That's what they're doing to usnow.
They're splitting us all upinto factions.
When we come together, there'sa strength and there's a unity
and we can defeat the enemytogether.
But if we all divided, likeeverything we every time we
(48:28):
looking around, we looking forsomething to be divided over,
and there's no commonality,there's no coming together, baby
, that will sift us, like weevery time, every single time,
make it easier to control.
It does, and it's the church,doesn't power, because the
church is all divided.
We just saying dividing usmakes it easier to control.
It does, and the church doesn'thave any power because the
church is all divided.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
We're just divided as
the world just saying why did
you see me drop up?
I got a real mic here.
Hold on, oh god.
I'm just saying I got a realmic and I'm going to carry you
(49:04):
up oh, I like the mic.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
You have to give me
that mic.
I got it on.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Amazon for $16.99.
Ain't it cute girl?
But, yeah, girl, drop the mic.
I dropped all three of them.
Baby, I need you to do a recapon my show and go back to church
, hurt and all type of stuffthat I have on this show.
Girl, that is a I ain't look.
(49:33):
No, because then we'll be onhere for more than the Avro
Child messing around with me andPat.
I wrote some books about them,though Check me out on Amazon,
shameless plug.
So I'm going to go look.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
I see Auntie Pat is
going off on this chat.
Shout out to Auntie Pat Cox ohyeah, oh yeah, she coming
through.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
She is coming through
.
We see you, mama, she is comingthrough.
She been on here the whole time.
Yes, I love it.
I want to get back because, ofcourse, course, we could talk
about this subject all day andwe kind of got off track.
But that's okay, everythinghappens in time, we are not here
(50:20):
talking.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
We just family on
here talking.
We don't forget y'all was thereand that's okay.
Y'all be alright.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
I hope y'all been
taking some notes, okay, but
look now, when it comes toVirtue Chic and your living
brand, what do you believe isthe unique impact that you bring
like?
What is the one message youwant everyone, especially
(50:46):
christian single women, to walkaway from our talk today?
Speaker 3 (50:52):
Oh, my goodness.
Okay, well, for the schoolwomen.
If I could sum up and I don'twant to sum it up too good
because I want y'all to read itit's on Amazon right now.
Amen.
But if I could sum up one of themain takeaways from this book,
I could sum up one of the maintakeaways from this book.
It is there has to come a pointwhere you are doing what is
(51:16):
right because it's right, andwhat I mean by that is I feel
like the church has done adisservice to young women by
dangling the carrot of purityand marriage in front of women.
If you keep your legs, you'regoing to get a man.
If you dress modest, you'regoing to get a man.
(51:38):
If you do this, you're going toget a man, and that can't be
the reason you're doing it.
It can't be the reason you'redoing it.
That's really dangerous,because when you do it for a
while and the man don't come,you're going to get mad and say
this, this don't work, and thenyou're going to get, you're
going to walk away from it.
(51:59):
Yeah, so we have to get to apoint where and I talk about
this in this book each chapterin the book actually has some
life coaching journalingquestions at the end, reflection
questions that you can write inhere and answer.
I talk about how and I'm nottelling you what I heard.
I'm telling you what I know.
Ok, because God literally hadme single and practiced in
(52:23):
abstinence for dang near 10years before he brought my
husband into my life.
Ok, I wasn't one of thosepeople that, like I'm a virgin
until marriage.
God bless y'all that was ableto do it.
But, um, I'm not.
I'm not.
I was doing good until I turned18.
(52:45):
And then what had happened wasthe nickel that was between my
knees had failed.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
No Counting the same
as my saving.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
It was a little bit
of interestingness that had
happened, but God brought meback and when I came back I said
all right, the next person I'mgoing to date is going to be my
husband.
Which sounds ridiculous,because how you just don't date
somebody and be like, okay,you're my husband, but what I
(53:22):
was saying is I'm not going tobe my husband.
Speaker 2 (53:38):
First my grandmother
told me that he was gonna be my
husband and I was like him nah,that's just my friend, but girl.
Then I told him he was gonna bemy hook.
He was like I ain't, finna, getmarried and have no more kids.
I'll say are you gonna be myhusband?
Baby 26, we were 26, baby, wewere married.
Okay, don Tell me what God Lovehis wife.
Speaker 3 (53:55):
I love it, girl.
I was 28, but it took him so Iwould say from I would say 18,
19 to 28,.
I was just single.
I was just out here.
I was going through figuringout myself and figuring out
God's purpose for me andwatching all my friends date and
it wasn't like I was just kindof like I don't want to date,
(54:17):
like I did want to.
I wanted to be in courtship.
That's different than dating.
Yeah, courtship is datingintentionality.
It is we used to call it backin the days to say you're going
steady, okay, so you're not justout here.
I got a date with Tom thisweekend and I got a date with
Larry next weekend.
(54:37):
That's not courtship.
Courtship is we're dating eachother and dating everybody else.
We're going for the purpose ofgetting married.
That's the personality that's,that's now.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
Yeah, dr velma, um,
her whole whole theme of
everything that she ministers tois is is based on that promise
of dating with intent to marry,and so she's a lot about that in
a lot of her literature, a lotof her talks, her podcast.
She's been married for 51 yearsnow.
Speaker 3 (55:18):
And her husband, Dr
BAGB BAGB BAGB.
Speaker 2 (55:22):
Okay, bagby, and her
series is called the Cat Series
so look up that.
And she makes fish analogiesseries so look up that.
And she makes fish analogies.
She used fish analogies todescribe the mate you know as
far as like male, and then sheuses animal analysis to describe
(55:44):
females, like the wrong men todate, and things like that.
She's a well-known person on myplatform.
She's a minister, she's anordained minister, she has her
PhD in theology and she's been acoach for over, I think, 30
(56:04):

Another mother to me, anothergrandmother to my kids.
She is amazing with my childrenand, um just just taught me a
(56:35):
lot.
You know about marriage anddifferent things like that, that
you you have to listen tosomebody who's been married
before to, really especially fora long time, like that, like I
can get advice from everybodyelse but they's never been
married or you know they don'treally have the answers that you
need.
You know it's like a warmadvice.
Like you know I love you, Iappreciate you as a person, but
(56:58):
when it comes to marriage,especially an ordained marriage
with God, you and your husband,you have to reach out to
like-minded people because ifyou don't, you're wrong.
A lot of people don't want tosee you married.
A lot of people feel likeyou're not worthy of the person
that you're with, so they'regoing to do whatever they can to
try to disrupt that.
So you have to be careful ofwho you allow into your marriage
(57:22):
.
You know it's supposed to beyou, god and your husband.
And if you're getting counseled, seek wise counsel.
That's always my part Right.
