Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, well, welcome, Welcome, welcome. I want to welcome you
guys to upcouse in Personal and on behalf of Aspiring
Authors magazine and that Crew podcast. Y'all, we have an amazing,
an amazing author with us on tonight. I'm sure you

She's kind of a little special to me. She is
one of the hosts over on the Crew podcast, them
Devas of the Airways. She is the host of Believe
in the Journey. She's also a publisher. If you need
a book published, she can help you get that book out.
(01:39):
I was just we was just talking about her, so
I know her is was burning because we were just
talking about her on the last broadcast. But I'm excited
to have her attached to this one hundred author's movement.
She's one of the group leaders, and I am excited
to be able to share what she's doing. Because y'all,
(01:59):
believe it or not, this young lady has about said
she has about probably about ten books out and then
She's been a part of collaborations and all of this,
but she's never had a book sign, so y'all expect
a lot from her in twenty twenty five. I'm gonna
move on out the way and allow this beautiful queen
(02:19):
to come home in the scene and share with you
guys exactly who she is and all she got going
on in twenty twenty five. So wecome missus.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Chevina, Hello everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I am her little sister, Trevita Harris, and I was
born and raised in Sparbarto, South Carolina, small little town.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I'm very small in statue, but big in spirit.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
There's a lot of things that she said in addition
to those things, I'm a mother of three adult children.
I am a grandmother of two, a boy and a girl,
and they are my pride and joy. My kids now
say that I don't pay them any attention now that
the grandkids are here, which I don't believe that they
(03:13):
still get spoiled.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Just not as much. Outside of that.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yes, I am a publisher, I'm an editor. I'm also
a podcast host on the Crew podcast It is Believing
the Journey, which airs every second Sunday and fourth Thursday.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Of the month.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I just love what I do. Outside of that, I
don't know. Any questions you got, just go ahead and.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Put them in a thing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Any questions today I got today, I got them. So
as being a self published author, can you share some
of the challenges that you may have faith as it's
a self published author versus a traditional author.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
When I first started the self publishing journey in twenty twenty,
I honestly had no clue, no idea on what to
do or how to get started, and so I have
very little knowledge of what formatting editing. I had no
(04:26):
clue and to figure that process out was really a
headache and it was a hassle, and honestly I threw
my laptop a couple of times because.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I could not figure out what it was asking me.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And eventually I just said, you know what, goud, whatever
it is for me to do, I'm going to do
with it. If it doesn't look perfect, it doesn't matter.
It's just me being obedient to what you're telling me
to do. And that's what I did, and.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
It was it was.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
It was dificult, but it wasn't hard in the sense
of just not getting it done, because me with anything
I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Figure it out over time.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It may take me a minute, but eventually I am
going to make sure that I get it done.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Going through a.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Publishing company or anything like that never crossed my mind,
only because I like to do stuff on my own
before I reach out and ask for help. When it
gets to be too much for me to handle, that's
when I'll ask for help. But for me having a
stroke at the age of thirty and also being diagnosed
with KR and information, which are both that deal with
(05:40):
the brain, I wanted to be able to challenge myself
to get the knowledge so that I can share it
with somebody else, because when you're dealing with things that
alter the way your brain receives information, it can be difficult.
And I didn't want to frustrate anybody else with me
being frustrated and not understanding what they were trying to
tell me. So that was one of the challenges that
(06:03):
I faced with that. But I got done.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Wow, and it that you share about your your disability
or whatever. I was just sharing with a young guy.
He shared with me that you helped him through a
writer's block situation that he had and how you helped
him through, and I was telling him. I said, well,
(06:29):
you know what I said, I think because of her
disability and how she had to adapt to a lot
of things, I said, it seems like she is taking
those skills that she's learned with having to adapt with
her disability, and she's been able to apply them to
writing and she can share that with somebody else. I said,
you lucky. I said, you know that lady that helped you.
(06:50):
I said, she's a group leader.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
At that time.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Look, I said what he said, He he want to
book out by April. I said, well, you better know
you want it out by April. I say, because it'll
be out by April if you let her know. I say, well,
you just let me know. So she's gonna know, I said,
she probably don't be watching. She probably gonna hear the replay.
I said, then we probably gonna get on here and
talk about it. So I don't put it out there now.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Oh well, well in your group, yeah, I know, I
got it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Uh huh, Well, listen, he's gonna have it out by April,
so ain't you don't need to even second guess that
it'll be out by April. Anybody that is in my
space and they tell me. They want to write a book,
they have ninety days and that's all I give them,
and I don't have time for the excuses. Most of
them say, well, I'm scared.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I don't really know what to do. I don't know
where to get started. And just like the advice that I.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Gave him, when we all deal with writer's block, if
you're a writer, you know that they's gonna come. All
you have to do is not overthink the process, which
most people do. They think, Oh, I gotta have it
all mapped out, I gotta have everything know. What you
need to do is take five minutes, give yourself five
to thirty minutes, set a timer, write down everything that
(08:17):
comes to mind. If you have a concept, that's all
you need is that concept. We can edit the page later.
You just need to put the stuff on the paper.
If you want to type it out, you can type
that too at the laptop. Sit down, give yourself thirty minutes,
make sure you're in a comfortable space. Give yourself that time,
and once you have your thirty minutes is up. If
(08:38):
you're still writing, keep going. That's how you get through
that writer's block situation. But don't consume yourself with all,
my god, it has to be perfect right then and
right there.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
It does not.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
That is what your editor, like myself, comes in handy
for use us for those particular things. If you have questions,
you get up, that's fine, take a break, walk.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Away, do whatever you need to do.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Go clean the house, wash the dishes, do some laundry,
do whatever you need to do, but come back to it,
and I promise you you'll get through with finishing everything
that you got.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So what is your creative process when working on solo
projects versus working on anathologies?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
For myself, it's basically just getting in the middle of
my bed with my laptop and just writing what comes
to mind, whatever the concept is, whatever I want to
write about. I just take that time and write every
single thing that comes to mind. If it's just a
word or whatever, I can come pound and go back
(09:46):
and expand upon that once I've gotten it out. I've
learned to keep my phone close by if I don't
have time to get to my laptop or anything like that.
If I'm at work something so a patient may say
or anything like that, an idea may pop up. So
I've learned to have my phone close by and just
(10:06):
record myself saying what it is that came to mind,
if it's a poem, if it's anything like that, I've
learned to keep that close by, RPN and paper close by.
So most things inspire me to write driving in the car,
if I see the way the traffic is flowing.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
So I don't really have a creative space.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
It's just wherever I am moving, something will come to
me and I just utilize that. But I make sure
that my phone is close by, especially if I'm driving.
I'll have that phone and I can hear the audio
record and just record the thought that I have, so
that way I can go back and write it down
or type it out.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Okay, so how did you find your audience? How did
you find the people that you were supposed to write
for you?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Honestly, I didn't find them. They were sent to me.
They found me.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
And it's crazy because I live by this and that
is God connects me to the people that I'm supposed
to be connected to in the time in which I
need them and they need me. And so I've never
gone in search of anybody, even my guests for my podcast.
(11:31):
You know, every guest that I've had on that podcast,
so far has been confirmation that I'm doing what I'm
supposed to be doing. And the people that I have
either helped with an anthology book or.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Been a part of.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
An anthology book have all been somewhat connected in the
space where I'm supposed to be at the time I'm
supposed to be. And even our connection we started and
we met doing a virtual monologue two and a half
years ago, almost three years ago, maybe even three now,
(12:12):
and that was just by.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
God's design.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Also because the part that I auditioned for was just
a background person. It was never meant for me, at
least in my eyes, never meant for me to be
in the forefront. But you know, when you pray and
ask God about something, he hears you, and he usually
answers right away. The lady that was supposed to play
(12:37):
mis motivation ended up dropping out and I got that part,
but her part was a non speaking part, and I
had to come up with some lines for that.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So I don't necessarily know.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
How I get connected outside of god His plans.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So how important have building meaningful connections been in your
literary journey.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It's been amazing. It's been.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
A beautiful way of learning and connecting with people that
I never thought I would have an opportunity to connect with.
I've made some really good friends that we keep in contact.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
We text each other, call each.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Other, speak on a regular basis through messenger on Facebook.
And I've gained a lot of new sisters, you know.
They they call me the the They've nicknamed me evangelist,
and I don't necessarily know where that comes from. But
(13:51):
I'm not necessarily saying that I am one of those.
I just know that I share my journey with each
person I come in contact with because I know that
somebody can utilize and those connections mean the world to me.
And I want to make sure that if I'm not
in a space to where I can inspire or encouraged,
(14:15):
then I don't want the connection. And I don't want
you to be connected with me if there's nothing that
I can offer to you. So I try to make
sure that anybody that comes into my space that they.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Know that they are genuinely loved cared for.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
It doesn't mean that we have to be, you know,
in agreement every single time. If I feel that you're
wrong on something, yeah I'm gonna say something. I'm not
gonna hinder myself from saying, because I don't want you
to think that we have to agree on everything. So
I'm gonna be real, true and honest at all times.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I know we run across surprises. What has been the
most surprising thing as a self publisher and a publisher
and editor? What has surprised you about yourself in your journey?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
What has surprised me? And what I've learned.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
About myself is I do know how to say no.
I do know how because at one point I was just,
you know, excited to be able to help people. But
I also had to realize not everybody wants help. Some
people want you to do the work for them and
then take the credit afterwards. And I had to learn
(15:39):
to set really strong boundaries and to stand on that.
And not every person is a genuine person, and I
had to learn that just because I am that kind
of person, Everybody's not going to see it that way.
They want to get what they can and take it
(15:59):
and run, but not be held accountable for when they're wrong.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
And I'm not one to do that.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
So I had a situation with one young lady that
I helped with her first anthology book, and we had
one of the ladies that basically wanted to take credit
for her anthology by putting it on her own, and
I didn't agree with that, and I had to. I
(16:31):
took up for her because it was basically like the
lady was trying to do it behind her back, and
then she wanted to try to bring God into it
and all of that. God, no, no, no, we're not
going to do that, because God doesn't operate like that.
If you wanted this woman to know what you were doing,
you would have told her upfront that that was your
intention and you would not have been lying about that.
(16:52):
So that has been one of the things that made
me be more clear and direct, and is sometimes people
don't know how to take clear and direct communication. They
feel like you're being aggressive, But at the same time,
I'm not being aggressive. It's just expectations that I have
(17:15):
because if I hold myself to that same standard, I
want you to hold yourself to that standard. And if
you can't be accountable for when you're wrong, then you're
gonna have a problem with me, because I'm gonna admit
to things when I'm wrong and do what I need
to do to correct that behavior. But standing on what
I'm telling you is clear and direct. You just got
(17:37):
to learn how to everybody's feelings. You can't coddle them.
You can't coddle emotions. Some people are so used to
being coddled and talk to as if they're infants when
you're grown.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No, we're not doing that right.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Has been one of your most proudest moments as a
self published author or as a publisher, I.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Want to say the for myself, it was completing the
books that I had in mind making and seeing them
through to the end, because sometimes I will admit I
am a procrastinator when it comes to myself, but when
it comes to other people, I get it done. My
(18:25):
proudest moment was completing the first anthology for The Young
Lady and her other authors during the time of transition
with my mom her passing, and I did not know
if I was going to be able to complete the
task and meet her deadline, and while dealing with my
(18:47):
mom and her transition, and I actually beat the deadline
that I had given myself. Even though she had a deadline.
I met the deadline ahead of time and we still
had time to play with and she ended up being
number five on the Best sellers of new releases that year.
(19:10):
So it was a bittersweet experience and I'm glad that
I was able to do that for her and myself
because she was my first client that truly believed in
the potential that I had to offer to her. And
not only that, we've done a second book where I
(19:32):
was a contributed author as well for that.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So that's been my favorest moment so far.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So as a aspiring author and someone that may be
tuning in listening, what advice would you give to someone
that thinks that they have a book in them, or
they've been told that they have a book and they
just don't know what. What would you say to them?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
You everyone has a story, everyone has a book, and
what I would definitely tell them is to sit down
with yourself and think about what it is you want
the world to know about you. It doesn't matter that
you've been through some hard moments, some hard times, or
anything like that, because your struggles, your journey, your testimony
(20:25):
is what comes from the end of your experience, your
triumphs and everything.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Somebody needs to know that what you've gone.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Through, you've been able to overcome, You've been able to
maneuver through that, So share that journey. Don't worry about
being judged, because we're all going to be judged.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
But this is the.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Thing that I always tell people, and the one thing
that I tell my sister all the time is that
they talked about Jesus, but that never stopped him from
doing what he was put on this earth to do
for us. And so if you consistently worry about what
people think about you, that's not your business anyway. You know,
your business is to do and tell your story because
somebody else will be able to understand what you've gone
(21:08):
through was not the end you came out on the
other side. So take that time, sit down with your
pen and paper and start to write and share your testimony.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It's not just a story, it's a.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Testimony to where you were to where you're going and
everything in between. So what I would say is share
your story. Somebody needs to hear that. Somebody needs to
grow from what you are currently experiencing. And when you
look back over your life from five years ago to
where you are currently, you've overcome some things that you
(21:42):
never thought you would see the other side up. And
that's what people need to hear. So take that time
write that story. If you need some help, need some guidance,
I got you reach.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Out to me.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
So the movement. What inspired you to say, Okay, well,
let me go ahead and enjoy this one hundred, Let
me go and join this and see what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
What inspired me is because it's not you don't hear
about a lot of black authors in this space because
most of the time they always say black folks don't
read unless it's a gossip column, unless it's drama related
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But that's not true. And I wanted to be one of.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Those voices to let people know that the liter literary
world is compiled of people that look like them, like me.
You know that can take you on different genres, different avenues,
different aspects of life in every genre that you can
think of. Because we fit in every space, even spaces
(22:51):
where they try to tell us that we don't fit.
We fit, We belong, and we are going to dominate
in every area that we go into simply because we
are just that good. And I wanted people to understand
and know that there are black authors out here, and
when we collaborate and move together, that the movement will
(23:14):
definitely continue to move and it will not be stopped.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Wow. Powerful, As one of the group leaders, what unique
perspective of voice would you like to leave with this movement.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
That you name the group the Luminaries, And one thing
I can say about that, I had no idea why
you name the group that, But the light that I have,
I want to be able to shine it upon those
who may be in the dark about themselves, about their journey,
(23:55):
about their life, because I know what it's like to
be an adult space and to be in a time
where you're not sure if you're gonna make it through
what you're going through. Like I said, I had a
stroke and was diagnosed with Keyorti malformation, which is a
serious neological condition. Lost my ability to walk, lost my
(24:18):
ability to speak. As you can see, I'm speaking very
well now being counted out by man but not being
included in you know what man said. Man said to
get used to all of those things. But God said,
if you trust me, I'll get you where you need
to go. And I'll be honest. I've ran from speaking
(24:39):
in front of people and doing those types of things
because I never saw myself as a public speaker. But
everything that God has placed in front of me has
been a connecting piece. So all I can say is
(25:00):
just stay focused and stay the course because God has
a plan for everything that you've been through and being
in this group, the Luminaries, I want to be able
to shine light on people in any space, any capacity,
whether it is in person, through virtual meetings, through videos
(25:22):
that I post, anything content wise. I want people to
understand that they can have light and love and they
provide a spark. Also, y'all, that's my grandbaby in the background.
She's getting some juice.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So you want everybody to know that she's preparing to
take over this spot that her grandma sitting in. Soon's
everybody know?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Oh yeah, most definitely, because she definitely knows that she's
going to be my right hand assistant. Because she has
her little laptop now, Like I had to get her
one of her own, because anytime I pull my laptop out,
she'd get there and she have to do her work too,
and she say, baby work, baby work, t T baby work, Yes, ma'am.
(26:16):
So she got her little laptop now and she sit
beside me and I'm doing my work and she's doing
hers too, So she's prepared.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
She wants to be part.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Of this already, so I want to make sure that
I leave it leave a good legacy for her to follow.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Well, you're training it up, right, Say train them up
the way that you would want them to go. Even
if they depart, they'll come back, so you're doing the
right thing. And say, we got to get our babies
involved in a lot more things. For that person that
may be tuned in and they're wondering if this is
something that they want to do, if they want to
(26:54):
be a part of this movie, what would you say
to them to encourage them to come on and join us.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I would say, come on and join us, because.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You have something to offer to the next person that's
sitting next to you, the person that you may meet
in the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You have something to offer to all of us.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We don't always see everything from the same perspective, so
it's always good to be in a space to where
you can look at things in a different light, because
sometimes we get so one sided that we think that
that's the only way to get two plus two is four,
But there's multiple ways to get to plus two equals four.
(27:38):
You can get four multiple ways. But are you willing
to take a look at what somebody else has to say.
So if you want to look at things in a
different perspective, get different ideas and bounce things off of
other people and get the support, come and join us,
because that is what we're here to do. We're not
here to compete. We're not here to criticize. Now, there
might be some construction criticism, but that's necessary for growth.
(28:02):
If you can't, if you're not willing to grow and
be uncomfortable, then I would say stay, stay where you are,
because if you're content with being just basic, just just
stay where you are. But God never intended for you
to be basic, So just throw that out the window.
That ain't that ain't what you're here for. You here
to actually be extraordinary because that's what God has already
(28:23):
are dained for you to do. So come on over here,
stop sitting over there in the call in the little
quiet section. God never intended for you to be quiet.
He intended for you to be loud and to walk
with purpose because He created for you for a purpose anyway,
So come on, come on, come on join us.

You can find me on Facebook Trevida Harris. They ain't
nothing strange about that. I tell people this a little
crazy and cheesy analogy to spell my name or to

it works. It'll help you remember my name. But it's

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Chevina, Hello everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I am her little sister, Trevita Harris, and I was
born and raised in Sparbarto, South Carolina, small little town.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I'm very small in statue, but big in spirit.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
There's a lot of things that she said in addition
to those things, I'm a mother of three adult children.
I am a grandmother of two, a boy and a girl,
and they are my pride and joy. My kids now
say that I don't pay them any attention now that
the grandkids are here, which I don't believe that they
(03:13):
still get spoiled.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Just not as much. Outside of that.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yes, I am a publisher, I'm an editor. I'm also
a podcast host on the Crew podcast It is Believing
the Journey, which airs every second Sunday and fourth Thursday.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Of the month.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I just love what I do. Outside of that, I
don't know. Any questions you got, just go ahead and.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Put them in a thing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Any questions today I got today, I got them. So
as being a self published author, can you share some
of the challenges that you may have faith as it's
a self published author versus a traditional author.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
When I first started the self publishing journey in twenty twenty,
I honestly had no clue, no idea on what to
do or how to get started, and so I have
very little knowledge of what formatting editing. I had no
(04:26):
clue and to figure that process out was really a
headache and it was a hassle, and honestly I threw
my laptop a couple of times because.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I could not figure out what it was asking me.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And eventually I just said, you know what, goud, whatever
it is for me to do, I'm going to do
with it. If it doesn't look perfect, it doesn't matter.
It's just me being obedient to what you're telling me
to do. And that's what I did, and.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
It was it was.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
It was dificult, but it wasn't hard in the sense
of just not getting it done, because me with anything
I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Figure it out over time.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
It may take me a minute, but eventually I am
going to make sure that I get it done.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Going through a.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Publishing company or anything like that never crossed my mind,
only because I like to do stuff on my own
before I reach out and ask for help. When it
gets to be too much for me to handle, that's
when I'll ask for help. But for me having a
stroke at the age of thirty and also being diagnosed
with KR and information, which are both that deal with
(05:40):
the brain, I wanted to be able to challenge myself
to get the knowledge so that I can share it
with somebody else, because when you're dealing with things that
alter the way your brain receives information, it can be difficult.
And I didn't want to frustrate anybody else with me
being frustrated and not understanding what they were trying to
tell me. So that was one of the challenges that
(06:03):
I faced with that. But I got done.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Wow, and it that you share about your your disability
or whatever. I was just sharing with a young guy.
He shared with me that you helped him through a
writer's block situation that he had and how you helped
him through, and I was telling him. I said, well,
(06:29):
you know what I said, I think because of her
disability and how she had to adapt to a lot
of things, I said, it seems like she is taking
those skills that she's learned with having to adapt with
her disability, and she's been able to apply them to
writing and she can share that with somebody else. I said,
you lucky. I said, you know that lady that helped you.
(06:50):
I said, she's a group leader.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
At that time.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Look, I said what he said, He he want to
book out by April. I said, well, you better know
you want it out by April. I say, because it'll
be out by April if you let her know. I say, well,
you just let me know. So she's gonna know, I said,
she probably don't be watching. She probably gonna hear the replay.
I said, then we probably gonna get on here and
talk about it. So I don't put it out there now.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Oh well, well in your group, yeah, I know, I
got it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Uh huh, Well, listen, he's gonna have it out by April,
so ain't you don't need to even second guess that
it'll be out by April. Anybody that is in my
space and they tell me. They want to write a book,
they have ninety days and that's all I give them,
and I don't have time for the excuses. Most of
them say, well, I'm scared.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I don't really know what to do. I don't know
where to get started. And just like the advice that I.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Gave him, when we all deal with writer's block, if
you're a writer, you know that they's gonna come. All
you have to do is not overthink the process, which
most people do. They think, Oh, I gotta have it
all mapped out, I gotta have everything know. What you
need to do is take five minutes, give yourself five
to thirty minutes, set a timer, write down everything that
(08:17):
comes to mind. If you have a concept, that's all
you need is that concept. We can edit the page later.
You just need to put the stuff on the paper.
If you want to type it out, you can type
that too at the laptop. Sit down, give yourself thirty minutes,
make sure you're in a comfortable space. Give yourself that time,
and once you have your thirty minutes is up. If
(08:38):
you're still writing, keep going. That's how you get through
that writer's block situation. But don't consume yourself with all,
my god, it has to be perfect right then and
right there.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
It does not.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
That is what your editor, like myself, comes in handy
for use us for those particular things. If you have questions,
you get up, that's fine, take a break, walk.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Away, do whatever you need to do.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Go clean the house, wash the dishes, do some laundry,
do whatever you need to do, but come back to it,
and I promise you you'll get through with finishing everything
that you got.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So what is your creative process when working on solo
projects versus working on anathologies?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
For myself, it's basically just getting in the middle of
my bed with my laptop and just writing what comes
to mind, whatever the concept is, whatever I want to
write about. I just take that time and write every
single thing that comes to mind. If it's just a
word or whatever, I can come pound and go back
(09:46):
and expand upon that once I've gotten it out. I've
learned to keep my phone close by if I don't
have time to get to my laptop or anything like that.
If I'm at work something so a patient may say
or anything like that, an idea may pop up. So
I've learned to have my phone close by and just
(10:06):
record myself saying what it is that came to mind,
if it's a poem, if it's anything like that, I've
learned to keep that close by, RPN and paper close by.
So most things inspire me to write driving in the car,
if I see the way the traffic is flowing.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
So I don't really have a creative space.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
It's just wherever I am moving, something will come to
me and I just utilize that. But I make sure
that my phone is close by, especially if I'm driving.
I'll have that phone and I can hear the audio
record and just record the thought that I have, so
that way I can go back and write it down
or type it out.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Okay, so how did you find your audience? How did
you find the people that you were supposed to write
for you?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Honestly, I didn't find them. They were sent to me.
They found me.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
And it's crazy because I live by this and that
is God connects me to the people that I'm supposed
to be connected to in the time in which I
need them and they need me. And so I've never
gone in search of anybody, even my guests for my podcast.
(11:31):
You know, every guest that I've had on that podcast,
so far has been confirmation that I'm doing what I'm
supposed to be doing. And the people that I have
either helped with an anthology book or.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Been a part of.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
An anthology book have all been somewhat connected in the
space where I'm supposed to be at the time I'm
supposed to be. And even our connection we started and
we met doing a virtual monologue two and a half
years ago, almost three years ago, maybe even three now,
(12:12):
and that was just by.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
God's design.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Also because the part that I auditioned for was just
a background person. It was never meant for me, at
least in my eyes, never meant for me to be
in the forefront. But you know, when you pray and
ask God about something, he hears you, and he usually
answers right away. The lady that was supposed to play
(12:37):
mis motivation ended up dropping out and I got that part,
but her part was a non speaking part, and I
had to come up with some lines for that.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So I don't necessarily know.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
How I get connected outside of god His plans.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So how important have building meaningful connections been in your
literary journey.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It's been amazing. It's been.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
A beautiful way of learning and connecting with people that
I never thought I would have an opportunity to connect with.
I've made some really good friends that we keep in contact.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
We text each other, call each.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Other, speak on a regular basis through messenger on Facebook.
And I've gained a lot of new sisters, you know.
They they call me the the They've nicknamed me evangelist,
and I don't necessarily know where that comes from. But
(13:51):
I'm not necessarily saying that I am one of those.
I just know that I share my journey with each
person I come in contact with because I know that
somebody can utilize and those connections mean the world to me.
And I want to make sure that if I'm not
in a space to where I can inspire or encouraged,
(14:15):
then I don't want the connection. And I don't want
you to be connected with me if there's nothing that
I can offer to you. So I try to make
sure that anybody that comes into my space that they.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Know that they are genuinely loved cared for.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
It doesn't mean that we have to be, you know,
in agreement every single time. If I feel that you're
wrong on something, yeah I'm gonna say something. I'm not
gonna hinder myself from saying, because I don't want you
to think that we have to agree on everything. So
I'm gonna be real, true and honest at all times.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I know we run across surprises. What has been the
most surprising thing as a self publisher and a publisher
and editor? What has surprised you about yourself in your journey?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
What has surprised me? And what I've learned.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
About myself is I do know how to say no.
I do know how because at one point I was just,
you know, excited to be able to help people. But
I also had to realize not everybody wants help. Some
people want you to do the work for them and
then take the credit afterwards. And I had to learn
(15:39):
to set really strong boundaries and to stand on that.
And not every person is a genuine person, and I
had to learn that just because I am that kind
of person, Everybody's not going to see it that way.
They want to get what they can and take it
(15:59):
and run, but not be held accountable for when they're wrong.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
And I'm not one to do that.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
So I had a situation with one young lady that
I helped with her first anthology book, and we had
one of the ladies that basically wanted to take credit
for her anthology by putting it on her own, and
I didn't agree with that, and I had to. I
(16:31):
took up for her because it was basically like the
lady was trying to do it behind her back, and
then she wanted to try to bring God into it
and all of that. God, no, no, no, we're not
going to do that, because God doesn't operate like that.
If you wanted this woman to know what you were doing,
you would have told her upfront that that was your
intention and you would not have been lying about that.
(16:52):
So that has been one of the things that made
me be more clear and direct, and is sometimes people
don't know how to take clear and direct communication. They
feel like you're being aggressive, But at the same time,
I'm not being aggressive. It's just expectations that I have
(17:15):
because if I hold myself to that same standard, I
want you to hold yourself to that standard. And if
you can't be accountable for when you're wrong, then you're
gonna have a problem with me, because I'm gonna admit
to things when I'm wrong and do what I need
to do to correct that behavior. But standing on what
I'm telling you is clear and direct. You just got
(17:37):
to learn how to everybody's feelings. You can't coddle them.
You can't coddle emotions. Some people are so used to
being coddled and talk to as if they're infants when
you're grown.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No, we're not doing that right.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Has been one of your most proudest moments as a
self published author or as a publisher, I.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Want to say the for myself, it was completing the
books that I had in mind making and seeing them
through to the end, because sometimes I will admit I
am a procrastinator when it comes to myself, but when
it comes to other people, I get it done. My
(18:25):
proudest moment was completing the first anthology for The Young
Lady and her other authors during the time of transition
with my mom her passing, and I did not know
if I was going to be able to complete the
task and meet her deadline, and while dealing with my
(18:47):
mom and her transition, and I actually beat the deadline
that I had given myself. Even though she had a deadline.
I met the deadline ahead of time and we still
had time to play with and she ended up being
number five on the Best sellers of new releases that year.
(19:10):
So it was a bittersweet experience and I'm glad that
I was able to do that for her and myself
because she was my first client that truly believed in
the potential that I had to offer to her. And
not only that, we've done a second book where I
(19:32):
was a contributed author as well for that.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So that's been my favorest moment so far.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So as a aspiring author and someone that may be
tuning in listening, what advice would you give to someone
that thinks that they have a book in them, or
they've been told that they have a book and they
just don't know what. What would you say to them?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
You everyone has a story, everyone has a book, and
what I would definitely tell them is to sit down
with yourself and think about what it is you want
the world to know about you. It doesn't matter that
you've been through some hard moments, some hard times, or
anything like that, because your struggles, your journey, your testimony
(20:25):
is what comes from the end of your experience, your
triumphs and everything.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Somebody needs to know that what you've gone.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Through, you've been able to overcome, You've been able to
maneuver through that, So share that journey. Don't worry about
being judged, because we're all going to be judged.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
But this is the.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Thing that I always tell people, and the one thing
that I tell my sister all the time is that
they talked about Jesus, but that never stopped him from
doing what he was put on this earth to do
for us. And so if you consistently worry about what
people think about you, that's not your business anyway. You know,
your business is to do and tell your story because
somebody else will be able to understand what you've gone
(21:08):
through was not the end you came out on the
other side. So take that time, sit down with your
pen and paper and start to write and share your testimony.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It's not just a story, it's a.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Testimony to where you were to where you're going and
everything in between. So what I would say is share
your story. Somebody needs to hear that. Somebody needs to
grow from what you are currently experiencing. And when you
look back over your life from five years ago to
where you are currently, you've overcome some things that you
(21:42):
never thought you would see the other side up. And
that's what people need to hear. So take that time
write that story. If you need some help, need some guidance,
I got you reach.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Out to me.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
So the movement. What inspired you to say, Okay, well,
let me go ahead and enjoy this one hundred, Let
me go and join this and see what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
What inspired me is because it's not you don't hear
about a lot of black authors in this space because
most of the time they always say black folks don't
read unless it's a gossip column, unless it's drama related
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But that's not true. And I wanted to be one of.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Those voices to let people know that the liter literary
world is compiled of people that look like them, like me.
You know that can take you on different genres, different avenues,
different aspects of life in every genre that you can
think of. Because we fit in every space, even spaces
(22:51):
where they try to tell us that we don't fit.
We fit, We belong, and we are going to dominate
in every area that we go into simply because we
are just that good. And I wanted people to understand
and know that there are black authors out here, and
when we collaborate and move together, that the movement will
(23:14):
definitely continue to move and it will not be stopped.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Wow. Powerful, As one of the group leaders, what unique
perspective of voice would you like to leave with this movement.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
That you name the group the Luminaries, And one thing
I can say about that, I had no idea why
you name the group that, But the light that I have,
I want to be able to shine it upon those
who may be in the dark about themselves, about their journey,
(23:55):
about their life, because I know what it's like to
be an adult space and to be in a time
where you're not sure if you're gonna make it through
what you're going through. Like I said, I had a
stroke and was diagnosed with Keyorti malformation, which is a
serious neological condition. Lost my ability to walk, lost my
(24:18):
ability to speak. As you can see, I'm speaking very
well now being counted out by man but not being
included in you know what man said. Man said to
get used to all of those things. But God said,
if you trust me, I'll get you where you need
to go. And I'll be honest. I've ran from speaking
(24:39):
in front of people and doing those types of things
because I never saw myself as a public speaker. But
everything that God has placed in front of me has
been a connecting piece. So all I can say is
(25:00):
just stay focused and stay the course because God has
a plan for everything that you've been through and being
in this group, the Luminaries, I want to be able
to shine light on people in any space, any capacity,
whether it is in person, through virtual meetings, through videos
(25:22):
that I post, anything content wise. I want people to
understand that they can have light and love and they
provide a spark. Also, y'all, that's my grandbaby in the background.
She's getting some juice.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
So you want everybody to know that she's preparing to
take over this spot that her grandma sitting in. Soon's
everybody know?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Oh yeah, most definitely, because she definitely knows that she's
going to be my right hand assistant. Because she has
her little laptop now, Like I had to get her
one of her own, because anytime I pull my laptop out,
she'd get there and she have to do her work too,
and she say, baby work, baby work, t T baby work, Yes, ma'am.
(26:16):
So she got her little laptop now and she sit
beside me and I'm doing my work and she's doing
hers too, So she's prepared.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
She wants to be part.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Of this already, so I want to make sure that
I leave it leave a good legacy for her to follow.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Well, you're training it up, right, Say train them up
the way that you would want them to go. Even
if they depart, they'll come back, so you're doing the
right thing. And say, we got to get our babies
involved in a lot more things. For that person that
may be tuned in and they're wondering if this is
something that they want to do, if they want to
(26:54):
be a part of this movie, what would you say
to them to encourage them to come on and join us.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I would say, come on and join us, because.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You have something to offer to the next person that's
sitting next to you, the person that you may meet
in the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
You have something to offer to all of us.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We don't always see everything from the same perspective, so
it's always good to be in a space to where
you can look at things in a different light, because
sometimes we get so one sided that we think that
that's the only way to get two plus two is four,
But there's multiple ways to get to plus two equals four.
(27:38):
You can get four multiple ways. But are you willing
to take a look at what somebody else has to say.
So if you want to look at things in a
different perspective, get different ideas and bounce things off of
other people and get the support, come and join us,
because that is what we're here to do. We're not
here to compete. We're not here to criticize. Now, there
might be some construction criticism, but that's necessary for growth.
(28:02):
If you can't, if you're not willing to grow and
be uncomfortable, then I would say stay, stay where you are,
because if you're content with being just basic, just just
stay where you are. But God never intended for you
to be basic, So just throw that out the window.
That ain't that ain't what you're here for. You here
to actually be extraordinary because that's what God has already
(28:23):
are dained for you to do. So come on over here,
stop sitting over there in the call in the little
quiet section. God never intended for you to be quiet.
He intended for you to be loud and to walk
with purpose because He created for you for a purpose anyway,
So come on, come on, come on join us.
