me tell you a little bit about this one. She
takes her readers on a journey through the pains and
traumas of her life forced that force her to accept,
(03:50):
from the perils of abuse to the pain of abandonment.
She seems to enjoy more pain than pleasure from her
childhood to her early adult life. All the life has
dealt her a bad hand. She never stopped believing in
herself as she reassured that there was a space of
(04:10):
happiness in life for her. All right, So she's going
to take you through her journey of healing and a
lot of people, we all understand that our healing comes
from most of the time books. Okay, So she is

(04:32):
how are you. I am good? I am good. Welcome
to sie book, Gallas and friends. So before we read
you for your book, girl, but before we go to
(04:52):
the book, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Okay, my name is Q Tello. That's my government name,
but I go by Q. Being going by Q since
I was in second grade, my teacher couldn't say my name,
so she started calling me q and I've been going
by Q or I go by Keisha. My family called
me Keisha and close friends called me Keisha. I'm originally
(05:18):
from Alabama. I just relocated to Texas a couple of
couple of months ago. And I used to travel. I
used to travel and the travel in the healthcare industry.
And now I'm not traveling, and I'm sitting down and
being being still and waiting on God, of course, and
you know, and being obedient. That's the number one thing.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's a heavy word.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That's heavy word. And I was raised by my grandmother
until I was nine years old, and then I went
into foster care because my mom went to prison for
committing a murder allegedly. Uh they you know, they said
my mom helped my auntie killer baby that never existed.
(06:09):
And my mom got did ten years in prison while
we went to foster care. And so I survived that
with the grace of the Lord. Of course, I survived
all of it. If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't
be where I'm at today.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You go and look at y'all. She has such a
beautiful so can't wait thinking that smart you got this
so pretty like everything you've been through that smiles, just
like I've been through it and I'm over here and
I'm making to do what it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Is it's called healed.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
There you go, see you obedience healed. But you gotta
go through the pain of obedience at times to get
to that beautiful piece of healing. That's just cute, yes, girl.
So what made you want to become an author?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I wanted to be able to Well. When I was
in you know, when we first went to foster care,
you know, I had a behavior problem and I used
to fight, you know, especially when someone says something about
my mother, especially like when I was in the seventh grade.
The kids used to say, your mom a baby killer.
(07:27):
And I said, yeah, I'm a killer too, cause we're
finna fight. I'm gonna beat you up. So, you know,
I had develop an anger problem.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And so that counselors was like, you need to you
need to speak to somebody. You need to talk to somebody.
So I had a counselor that I used to talk to.
He was originally he was from out of Mobile, Alabama,
and I was in the country. It was a small
country called small county called Chalkdaw County, is where I'm
(07:56):
originally from and the city is listening. Alabama is where
I'm aly from. So Mobile was like the number two
county compared to Choctaw. And so they, the counselors came
from Mobile to visit me at school. Wow, kids can
be crue and yeah they can. And my counselor used
(08:19):
to tell me, why don't you just start writing everything
down on how you feel and writing it down on
how you feel that way, it'll help you develop. It'll
help you develop healing in the process of what's going on,
because at that time it was a lot to process.
If it makes any sense, I was like my mother's mother,
if that makes any sense. My mother looked at my
(08:41):
mother looked at an eight year old child for directions.
That's deep. So I used to help my mom like
I took care of my mom. I used to help
my mom. And you know I did that for my mom.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wow, that's deep.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
But you're here, damn, and you have a purpose.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I do.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And so let's talk about this purpose. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
This book. Your book, your book. Let's talk about this book.
So tell me a little bit about your book.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Okay, So I wrote a when I when I wrote
my book, I talk a lot about my mom, and
I talk about the main part of my book where
I like to talk about the most, and it just
it hit, it hit, it just hits, it hits every
time called. The title is the Family Orphaned and and
(09:58):
I chose to be that because at eight years old,
when the people came, when Human Resource Department came out
to my grandmother's slave house when and to come and
talk to us and stuff. And I told my social worker.
I told her at the time, I said, can you
please get me out of this house so I can
(10:20):
go and learn something about life so I can come
back and take care of my grandmother. And they was like, okay,
well I don't understand, babe. She was just misremonable. I
just don't understand. I said, I promise you you'll never
regret this decision. So she did. And you know, even
(10:41):
though it was it was trying. I'm not gonna lie.
It was trying because you're talking about somebody that was
molested over three hundred, three hundred times. But I didn't
let that stop me from graduating high school. All I
wanted to do at eight years old to graduate high
school because I wanted to great break generational curses over
(11:03):
my family, so I just didn't worry about that. I
was gonna deal with that later on in life. That's
what I had in my brain that I was going
to focus on that later on. I just wanted to
graduate high school.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
So how did it feel when you graduated from high school?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Well, May the eighteenth of two thousand and seven. I
was the first one in my family to graduate. And
when they called my name, I wanted them to call
it twice because I wanted them to know that, hey,
a bell graduated with a high school diploma, not a certificate,
(11:42):
not with you know, people in our town, it is
so small, and it's like people prey on people downfalls,
and so my family was the talk of the neighborhoods
and stuff. They it's always a out the bells. This,
oh them bells, them bells, them bells. But guess what,
(12:05):
this bell graduated and this bell wasn't playing. And I
did that because of God, not because of me. God
gave me that power to do what I needed to do.
Because when I was little, my grandmother used to tell
me when I would when I was learning how to pray,
because I used to see her praying. I asked her
(12:25):
what she was doing. She said she was talking to
the Lord, And I asked her. So she told me,
she said, you always pray for wisdom and knowledge and understanding.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Mmm, what's some knowledge and understand that? Yeah, yo, I've
never heard anybody say that before.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Oh yeah, my grandma used to tell me that. My grandma,
she used to tell me that she she lived to
she she was there at my graduation, and she was
she lived to be ninety seven years old, and she
was there for me.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That is beautiful. That's a good, healthy life. Ninety seven
crazy And now look at Granny looking at you. She
got looking out. I truly do believe that our family
members are always down hereing us on when things like
(13:19):
this happened, these big moments in our lives, even something
as little as doing the podcast. They said, I pull up, Jesus,
can I just do this for thirty minutes? And I
promise you I'm coming to prayer. But I needed her
to know that I'm there for her. I'm pretty sure
God sitting there all right, I'm giving you a pass.
Go sit up there and look for her for thirty minutes,
but come.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
On back and I used to tell my I used
to tell the people that used to molest me. I
used to tell them, I said, God ain't pleased with you.
I said, but you go ahead and do what you
gotta do. Well, you're gonna get you. I promise you that.
And I was a kid telling that, telling them that
I was a kid telling them that. Wow, So you know,
(14:01):
you know, and that's then that's something right there, you know,
to be able to have that wheel power, to be
able to say things like that to somebody that is
torturing you.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I I can't wrap my head around me. Yes, this
is one of these one times that I cannot wrap
my head around it.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yes, ma'am. So you know, and now just about all
of them, all of them are deceased because you don't
mess with God's chosen people. And I keep telling people
that y'all better, they better, they better stop, don't be
messing with God's chosen. But you know that's neither here
nor there.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yep, we're gonna have We're gonna let God handle Lord.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Does not He does not be playing about his chosen ones,
because you know, we didn't have And the reason why
I'm chosen because my parents you know, they brought me
into this world, but they couldn't take care of me,
and so you know I had to God had to
take care of me.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yea God. So this book cover is beautiful. Let's thank
you out with that. Who created your book cover?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Well, I had a I had a lady that I
was working with at the time. She was we was
creating book covers, and so I told her that I
wanted a picture of my mother. And that's actually a
picture of my mother that's thrown on at the half
of face. That's actually my mother that that I had created.
(15:57):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Thank you, Oh my God.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
So I read the synopsis of the book, of course
I did, But now I want to hear about your
book and your words. So tell us a little about
the evolution of me.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Well, like I said, you know, I wanted to let
the foster kids, particularly let the false kids know, if
I can do it, you can do it. And I
thought my life was hard, but some of these, some
of the some of the kids, life is worse than mine.
So and I wanted to create a book so I
(16:44):
could create something I can tell my story on how
I survived and and you know, it's it's you know,
based on a true story through the eyes of a survivor.
And I wanted to be able to share share that
with with Falster kids and women, young women, you know,
all over the world, so that they can they can
(17:07):
see you can get through the rape. You can get
through you can get through it. It's a process, and
it's not gonna happen all overnight, of course not, but
you have to you have to allow yourself to get
through it. And so I wanted to tell my tell
my testimony through the book so that people can see, hey,
(17:29):
this person did it. Let me let me be like Q,
or let me be better than Q, you know, so
that they can understand, like, you can get through this.
This is a process. Look at what God did for me,
He'll do the same for you. He loved all of us,
you know, he loved all of his kids. So let's
just come on, let's just go. Let me. Let me
(17:51):
follow Q and uh, let me get it together, let
me get my life together. Somebody out there loves you,
Somebody Q loves me, you know. I just I just
wanted to share that, and I wanted to I wanted
to make sure that my make sure my foster families
that the Falster kids and who I'm relating to, that
they understand that we're a family. Even though you don't
(18:13):
know me, we're family because once you meet another Falter child,
from a Fosster child to another Falster child, you you
automatically have that connection. And so I wanted to be
able to tell my story and reach the Falter kids
because that's that's the number one thing. Because when you
(18:33):
out there, you've been told that don't nobody love you,
don't nobody care about you, don't you know? And you
you just out there like wow, God, like what what?
Why do I have to go through this? Why do
I have to do this? Why do I have to
do that? You know, you just and you just feel
you alone, and I just want to make I would
just want to bring light to it that you're not
(18:53):
alone you. It's people out here that don't went through
to some of the stuff that you done went through.
So let me be a help to help you get
through the process with God help, of course, not just me,
because Q can't do it about Q. Q got to
do it through God. Let's just work.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Together, okay, y'all? She done took over the whole interview.
All the questions can't please Ringle one of them that
I have. I guess what, I bet you she won't
know these ones because it's fun time.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh lord, it's fun time.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Because this book is beautiful. You guys, God, I want
you all to go grab it. But y'all know how
we do it. So your book is going to be
made into an audio book.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Okay, yes, who would.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You love to narrow narrate your book? And why did
you choose them? But but, but but it has to
be a gospel artist and let's say old schools. So

humble and I'm just calm. Just it's not a storm anymore.
(20:38):
The storm is over, so I'm just floating and relaxing.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Oh okay, So if you could choose one of her songs,

Speaker 3 (22:52):
And occup I used to be able to take it
up all the way up, be ready, and then I

born in nineteen ten, and she had a lot of wisdom.
And I learned so much from her. And she used
to pray over me and stuff she you know, and
(24:35):

and I was seven years old. We still lived in
my grandma's slave house. It's actually, you guys. Throughout the book,
you'll see a picture of my grandmother's slave house in
the book, so just why you will see the house
where I grew up and I and at that time,
even though the house was not uh suitable to live in,
(25:10):
but it was the most happiness. I was so happy
there with my grandmother. I didn't care that about the house.
I just cared about my grandmother. Being there with my grandmother.

of all. I will be fitting for us to lay
on my back. And I am thirty seven years old.
I don't have any kids, and I work and take
care of myself with God's help. So with that being said,
(26:41):
just because somebody tell you you that you won't never
amount to nothing, you show them who you are, and
you show them who you are in the Lord. And
just know that God loves you, and so do you

It made headlines all the way to NBC and CBS
and all of that type of stuff. So we was
we were, We was out there and during that process
with being out there, you know, we didn't we didn't

that big crack man. Lord. Why but if the author
has it, you guys, just go ahead and support the author.

let me give y'all a little look at this book.
It is called the The Evolution of Me. Okay, let
me tell you a little bit about this one. She
takes her readers on a journey through the pains and
traumas of her life forced that force her to accept,
(03:50):
from the perils of abuse to the pain of abandonment.
She seems to enjoy more pain than pleasure from her
childhood to her early adult life. All the life has
dealt her a bad hand. She never stopped believing in
herself as she reassured that there was a space of
(04:10):
happiness in life for her. All right, So she's going
to take you through her journey of healing and a
lot of people, we all understand that our healing comes
from most of the time books. Okay, So she is
going to be with us tonight and there she is. Hey,
(04:32):
how are you. I am good? I am good. Welcome
to sie book, Gallas and friends. So before we read
you for your book, girl, but before we go to
(04:52):
the book, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Okay, my name is Q Tello. That's my government name,
but I go by Q. Being going by Q since
I was in second grade, my teacher couldn't say my name,
so she started calling me q and I've been going
by Q or I go by Keisha. My family called
me Keisha and close friends called me Keisha. I'm originally
(05:18):
from Alabama. I just relocated to Texas a couple of
couple of months ago. And I used to travel. I
used to travel and the travel in the healthcare industry.
And now I'm not traveling, and I'm sitting down and
being being still and waiting on God, of course, and
you know, and being obedient. That's the number one thing.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's a heavy word.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That's heavy word. And I was raised by my grandmother
until I was nine years old, and then I went
into foster care because my mom went to prison for
committing a murder allegedly. Uh they you know, they said
my mom helped my auntie killer baby that never existed.
(06:09):
And my mom got did ten years in prison while
we went to foster care. And so I survived that
with the grace of the Lord. Of course, I survived
all of it. If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't
be where I'm at today.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You go and look at y'all. She has such a
beautiful so can't wait thinking that smart you got this
so pretty like everything you've been through that smiles, just
like I've been through it and I'm over here and
I'm making to do what it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Is it's called healed.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
There you go, see you obedience healed. But you gotta
go through the pain of obedience at times to get
to that beautiful piece of healing. That's just cute, yes, girl.
So what made you want to become an author?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I wanted to be able to Well. When I was
in you know, when we first went to foster care,
you know, I had a behavior problem and I used
to fight, you know, especially when someone says something about
my mother, especially like when I was in the seventh grade.
The kids used to say, your mom a baby killer.
(07:27):
And I said, yeah, I'm a killer too, cause we're
finna fight. I'm gonna beat you up. So, you know,
I had develop an anger problem.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And so that counselors was like, you need to you
need to speak to somebody. You need to talk to somebody.
So I had a counselor that I used to talk to.
He was originally he was from out of Mobile, Alabama,
and I was in the country. It was a small
country called small county called Chalkdaw County, is where I'm
(07:56):
originally from and the city is listening. Alabama is where
I'm aly from. So Mobile was like the number two
county compared to Choctaw. And so they, the counselors came
from Mobile to visit me at school. Wow, kids can
be crue and yeah they can. And my counselor used
(08:19):
to tell me, why don't you just start writing everything
down on how you feel and writing it down on
how you feel that way, it'll help you develop. It'll
help you develop healing in the process of what's going on,
because at that time it was a lot to process.
If it makes any sense, I was like my mother's mother,
if that makes any sense. My mother looked at my
(08:41):
mother looked at an eight year old child for directions.
That's deep. So I used to help my mom like
I took care of my mom. I used to help
my mom. And you know I did that for my mom.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wow, that's deep.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
But you're here, damn, and you have a purpose.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I do.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And so let's talk about this purpose. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
This book. Your book, your book. Let's talk about this book.
So tell me a little bit about your book.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Okay, So I wrote a when I when I wrote
my book, I talk a lot about my mom, and
I talk about the main part of my book where
I like to talk about the most, and it just
it hit, it hit, it just hits, it hits every
time called. The title is the Family Orphaned and and
(09:58):
I chose to be that because at eight years old,
when the people came, when Human Resource Department came out
to my grandmother's slave house when and to come and
talk to us and stuff. And I told my social worker.
I told her at the time, I said, can you
please get me out of this house so I can
(10:20):
go and learn something about life so I can come
back and take care of my grandmother. And they was like, okay,
well I don't understand, babe. She was just misremonable. I
just don't understand. I said, I promise you you'll never
regret this decision. So she did. And you know, even
(10:41):
though it was it was trying. I'm not gonna lie.
It was trying because you're talking about somebody that was
molested over three hundred, three hundred times. But I didn't
let that stop me from graduating high school. All I
wanted to do at eight years old to graduate high
school because I wanted to great break generational curses over
(11:03):
my family, so I just didn't worry about that. I
was gonna deal with that later on in life. That's
what I had in my brain that I was going
to focus on that later on. I just wanted to
graduate high school.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
So how did it feel when you graduated from high school?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Well, May the eighteenth of two thousand and seven. I
was the first one in my family to graduate. And
when they called my name, I wanted them to call
it twice because I wanted them to know that, hey,
a bell graduated with a high school diploma, not a certificate,
(11:42):
not with you know, people in our town, it is
so small, and it's like people prey on people downfalls,
and so my family was the talk of the neighborhoods
and stuff. They it's always a out the bells. This,
oh them bells, them bells, them bells. But guess what,
(12:05):
this bell graduated and this bell wasn't playing. And I
did that because of God, not because of me. God
gave me that power to do what I needed to do.
Because when I was little, my grandmother used to tell
me when I would when I was learning how to pray,
because I used to see her praying. I asked her
(12:25):
what she was doing. She said she was talking to
the Lord, And I asked her. So she told me,
she said, you always pray for wisdom and knowledge and understanding.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Mmm, what's some knowledge and understand that? Yeah, yo, I've
never heard anybody say that before.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Oh yeah, my grandma used to tell me that. My grandma,
she used to tell me that she she lived to
she she was there at my graduation, and she was
she lived to be ninety seven years old, and she
was there for me.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
That is beautiful. That's a good, healthy life. Ninety seven
crazy And now look at Granny looking at you. She
got looking out. I truly do believe that our family
members are always down hereing us on when things like
(13:19):
this happened, these big moments in our lives, even something
as little as doing the podcast. They said, I pull up, Jesus,
can I just do this for thirty minutes? And I
promise you I'm coming to prayer. But I needed her
to know that I'm there for her. I'm pretty sure
God sitting there all right, I'm giving you a pass.
Go sit up there and look for her for thirty minutes,
but come.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
On back and I used to tell my I used
to tell the people that used to molest me. I
used to tell them, I said, God ain't pleased with you.
I said, but you go ahead and do what you
gotta do. Well, you're gonna get you. I promise you that.
And I was a kid telling that, telling them that
I was a kid telling them that. Wow, So you know,
(14:01):
you know, and that's then that's something right there, you know,
to be able to have that wheel power, to be
able to say things like that to somebody that is
torturing you.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I I can't wrap my head around me. Yes, this
is one of these one times that I cannot wrap
my head around it.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yes, ma'am. So you know, and now just about all
of them, all of them are deceased because you don't
mess with God's chosen people. And I keep telling people
that y'all better, they better, they better stop, don't be
messing with God's chosen. But you know that's neither here
nor there.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yep, we're gonna have We're gonna let God handle Lord.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Does not He does not be playing about his chosen ones,
because you know, we didn't have And the reason why
I'm chosen because my parents you know, they brought me
into this world, but they couldn't take care of me,
and so you know I had to God had to
take care of me.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yea God. So this book cover is beautiful. Let's thank
you out with that. Who created your book cover?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Well, I had a I had a lady that I
was working with at the time. She was we was
creating book covers, and so I told her that I
wanted a picture of my mother. And that's actually a
picture of my mother that's thrown on at the half
of face. That's actually my mother that that I had created.
(15:57):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Thank you, Oh my God.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
So I read the synopsis of the book, of course
I did, But now I want to hear about your
book and your words. So tell us a little about
the evolution of me.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Well, like I said, you know, I wanted to let
the foster kids, particularly let the false kids know, if
I can do it, you can do it. And I
thought my life was hard, but some of these, some
of the some of the kids, life is worse than mine.
So and I wanted to create a book so I
(16:44):
could create something I can tell my story on how
I survived and and you know, it's it's you know,
based on a true story through the eyes of a survivor.
And I wanted to be able to share share that
with with Falster kids and women, young women, you know,
all over the world, so that they can they can
(17:07):
see you can get through the rape. You can get
through you can get through it. It's a process, and
it's not gonna happen all overnight, of course not, but
you have to you have to allow yourself to get
through it. And so I wanted to tell my tell
my testimony through the book so that people can see, hey,
(17:29):
this person did it. Let me let me be like Q,
or let me be better than Q, you know, so
that they can understand, like, you can get through this.
This is a process. Look at what God did for me,
He'll do the same for you. He loved all of us,
you know, he loved all of his kids. So let's
just come on, let's just go. Let me. Let me
(17:51):
follow Q and uh, let me get it together, let
me get my life together. Somebody out there loves you,
Somebody Q loves me, you know. I just I just
wanted to share that, and I wanted to I wanted
to make sure that my make sure my foster families
that the Falster kids and who I'm relating to, that
they understand that we're a family. Even though you don't
(18:13):
know me, we're family because once you meet another Falter child,
from a Fosster child to another Falster child, you you
automatically have that connection. And so I wanted to be
able to tell my story and reach the Falter kids
because that's that's the number one thing. Because when you
(18:33):
out there, you've been told that don't nobody love you,
don't nobody care about you, don't you know? And you
you just out there like wow, God, like what what?
Why do I have to go through this? Why do
I have to do this? Why do I have to
do that? You know, you just and you just feel
you alone, and I just want to make I would
just want to bring light to it that you're not
(18:53):
alone you. It's people out here that don't went through
to some of the stuff that you done went through.
So let me be a help to help you get
through the process with God help, of course, not just me,
because Q can't do it about Q. Q got to
do it through God. Let's just work.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Together, okay, y'all? She done took over the whole interview.
All the questions can't please Ringle one of them that
I have. I guess what, I bet you she won't
know these ones because it's fun time.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh lord, it's fun time.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Because this book is beautiful. You guys, God, I want
you all to go grab it. But y'all know how
we do it. So your book is going to be
made into an audio book.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Okay, yes, who would.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You love to narrow narrate your book? And why did
you choose them? But but, but but it has to
be a gospel artist and let's say old schools. So
we're talking like John Pea, key Mahellia Jackson, CC whining.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
That's who I was about to say.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
CC is okay, why CC.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I just love her style of music, mer her style,
the way she sings. I just can relate to it.
It's just so calm, and I'm in in my life now,
I'm in I'm in the mode of of just being
humble and I'm just calm. Just it's not a storm anymore.
(20:38):
The storm is over, so I'm just floating and relaxing.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Oh okay, So if you could choose one of her songs,
because you know, every good book and every good. Yeah,
I told you you you have to choose a song
that would be the first track of the soundtrack of
(21:03):
the Evolution of Me. What song would it be?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
The song with her and BB one go her brother Patients.
It's it's called patience, patience something. It's that song. I'm
trying to I'm trying to get the name of that song.
But it's that particular song. They sing it together. It's
(21:31):
like a love song technic.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah you heard h Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, yeah, that's
close to you. I want to be close to you. Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Tavolaus Alla days? This can be my mom?
Speaker 1 (22:28):

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Cause she she has a she she she has this
she has this thing about her where it's she can
take it up, and she can take it down, and
I love.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That she really can't. She really can't.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
And occup I used to be able to take it
up all the way up, be ready, and then I
knew how to take it down too on top of it.
So that's why we we're kind of compatible.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Okay, so we got the book, we got bbn CC
close to you, Taji Pearson. But now Lifetime says, you
know what, this is just so much we want to

have been been a perfect or either what's her name
she's deceased to uh, what is her name? She just dies.

play mama yeap sicily tysan.
Speaker 1 (24:04):

to those women? What did those women embody that your
grandma embody?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Well, I see a lot of the wisdom, and my
grandma used My grandma had a lot of wisdom. And
my grandmother her name was Lucy Kate Tucker. She was
born in nineteen ten, and she had a lot of wisdom.
And I learned so much from her. And she used
to pray over me and stuff she you know, and
(24:35):
it was just I was so I was so happy
just to be there with my grandmother.

You know, my grandma still lived in her slave house
and I was seven years old. We still lived in
my grandma's slave house. It's actually, you guys. Throughout the book,
you'll see a picture of my grandmother's slave house in
the book, so just why you will see the house
where I grew up and I and at that time,
even though the house was not uh suitable to live in,
(25:10):
but it was the most happiness. I was so happy
there with my grandmother. I didn't care that about the house.
I just cared about my grandmother. Being there with my grandmother.
That just goes to show you materialisticself doesn't mean anything
when you got happiness.
Speaker 1 (25:27):

to continue to believe because a storm don't last always.
It doesn't last always. It's temporary. And you know, especially
(26:20):
to the foster kids out there, hey, if I can
do it, you can do it. I was told that
I will never be nothing. I'll never amount to none
of all. I will be fitting for us to lay
on my back. And I am thirty seven years old.
I don't have any kids, and I work and take
care of myself with God's help. So with that being said,
(26:41):
just because somebody tell you you that you won't never
amount to nothing, you show them who you are, and
you show them who you are in the Lord. And
just know that God loves you, and so do you

I can actually sign the book for you because this
is a story, This is a deep story, and this
was based on a story my mother was on national news.
(29:04):
It made headlines all the way to NBC and CBS
and all of that type of stuff. So we was
we were, We was out there and during that process

have been in And I'm gonna say this, and I
know this is not politically correct, but I'm gonna be
