Yes, yes, Adena.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Howard has been around since the nineties.

Speaker 9 (03:36):
Listened to Dina. I didn't get my research on you.

I've been loving you since I get a day nineteen
ninety five, right, and you don't. You probably don't remember me, right,
I'm sorry, y'all, this is listen. I'm I'm my fan.
I I met you at NBC suites at the time.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
I was.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I think you were probably doing something with the artists
out of Ohio. What's his name?

Speaker 9 (04:16):

You did a song with them, You did a song
with him, Okay, I did a.

Speaker 1 (04:44):

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay? Planning playing and skills playing skills? The song freaks
Me and Crazy Bone? Yeah, we were. We were doing
some features on their song.

Speaker 8 (05:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
I feel like that's when I met you because you
were probably doing some work with him because he used
to love MC sweets. I don't know why he would
always be out there in Columbus, Ohio, and that's my hometown.
So that's when I met you. I was actually working
there as a bartender.

Speaker 9 (05:15):
Look how small the world is.

Speaker 10 (05:20):
To chop it up about this new debut song that
you got out there, which is amazing, and we did
get a chance well, Patrician did speak to you, was
on Urban Influences a few weeks ago back and we
definitely love to have you back over here to talk
about this brand new journey that you're working with right now.

(05:41):
So give us to a little bit information about this
new song that you have I overstand, which is amazing.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I outstand it's based on my journey's We all go
through something in life, you know, we all have experienced
some drama and trauma and a lot of times when
you're going through lost depression, just life, you know, happening
to you in real time. As I say, life is
life and life was life and for me, the song

(06:11):
was written a little over twenty years ago and management
had decided that he was going to put a compilation
album together and this was a song last submitted. And
so this song is basically when I was experiencing life
in a way that didn't feel good. And we all,

(06:32):
we all can overstand when we have those seasons when
life doesn't feel all that great. You know, we have
to go down in the valley and have our trials
and tribulations in order to you know, grow through what
we're going to go through and what we're going through
in that moment. So this song is really about inspiring
and encouraging, you know, uplifting and just really instilling resilience

(06:55):
being able to move forward in spite of because at
the end of the day, this too your past. Everything
is temporary. Whether it's a long temporary or a short temporary,
it's temporary, and you just have to dig deep and
go within yourself and know that this is this isn't
the first thing that you've ever gone through, and it
won't be the last thing that you go through. But

(07:17):
the fact that you're able to move through it and
get through it and get to the other side is
the point. Like, just hang in there, don't give up
on yourself, stay focused that there is light at the
end of the tunnel, even though you may not see it,
but it's there, and you just have to know that
you're gonna make it past this time in your life

(07:38):
this season, and you'll be able to reflect on it
and say, Okay, you know what, I didn't think I
had the strength, I didn't think I had the resources
that know how, et cetera. But I did, and I
do and here I am. I'm on the other side.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I think for people to really understand the essence of
the song. They got to understand your journey, you understand
what I'm saying. They have to understand all the hurdles
that I know you went through in the industry. You
know Freak Like Me, you know, and that whole I
Want to Rock, You know, that whole album. Everything was
the beginning. But think about all the ways and things,

(08:12):
because what is this like your fifth you did like
five albums or something like that.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I lost count.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
With the industry, right, So if you don't mind, always
like to take our guests down memory lane because we
want to start where you started at and where what
was some of the experiences that brought this song to
life in your life, like and explain to them how
you progressed as an artist, how you went from Freak

(08:41):
Like Me.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
You know what I'm saying, Hey to be like, explain
something to y'all.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Didne went through some stuff and came through some stuff
And I'm trying to bring y'all like take us on
that journey.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
So of course, you know, Freak Like Me came out
in ninety five and you know, at the height of
my career being able to be the first solo female
artist to become commercially successful with you know, a very
sexual image, especially in our you know community, you know,

(09:15):
people of color, being a black woman, and so, you know,
it was a big to do positively and negatively, just
depend on what your perspective was, you know, at the time.
And so being able to you know, break through the
barriers and kick the door open, you know. And I
always love to reference you know, Auntie Millie Jackson because

(09:35):
really she you know, she she did that. You know,
I learned like a couple of weeks ago that she
did you know, my neck, my back, which kaya remade
right that part. So to note that she cracked the
door open for me to be able to you know,
basically busted open for the rest of us was first

(09:58):
of all a privilege to be able to, you know,
pick up the mantle and say, you know, I got you.
Here we go, you know, and make it commercially acceptable
for women of color to be able to express themselves
sexually without being shunned, So without being shamed so speakers,
they say now, and so being able to really take
the mantle and achieve a level of success that wasn't

(10:21):
really heard of at the time, and to just ride
this wave to the top, only to you know, have
it just level out. And it leveled out because I,
you know, got beside myself. I got in my own way,
you know, being young and ignorant and seeing things and
doing things that were not acceptable, and when I look

(10:46):
back on it, I was just doing too much, to
be totally honest with you, and they caught up with me.
One of the things I tell people all the time
is the seeds you so will grow, you know. And
that's why they say you reput you so, because when
you sow the seed, at some point in time, you're
gonna have to go ahead and either pick those flowers
or those weeds, whatever you chose to sew in that moment.
And my fruit, my the you know, the thes that

(11:10):
I had so had flourished, they grew and abroad ended
up picking up a whole lot of weeds, and you know,
and so you know that downslope where people you know,
got blacklisted because of my mouth, and you know, and
so on, and really having to sit in proverbial time
out to think about what I did, what I said,
how I did what I did, and so on and

(11:32):
so forth, and just really having that space to just
think about it. And nobody likes to be on punishment, right,
and so when you're on punishment, your ego will get
in the way and say, you know, start you know,
running its mouth and saying no, you didn't deserve this
or why did they do this to me? You kind

(11:53):
of have that victim mentality. But if you really just
sit in your shit, then you recognize, well, you know what,
I'm the reason for my season and nobody else. But
in the process of going through that, you know, I,
you know, the loss of having that success taking away
was very challenging, and I felt some kind of way

(12:15):
about it. And in that process of feeling some kind
of way about it, I went through a moment of
not feeling so good, you know, just really questioning, you know,
what am I going to do? Why am I still here?
And you know, having a brief moment, I mean I say,
a brief moment of suicide suicidal thoughts and you know,

(12:36):
and running that through my head briefly and just having
to think, thank God that you know, the creator is
my anchor. And I wasn't in a space where I
could care less about what my mom was going to
think of the impact that it would have on my siblings,
and you know, just again writing that and just saying, Okay,
you know what, it's one for me. It's not that serious.

(12:58):
I've gone through things that I've you know, I can
get through this and I'm gonna get through this and
I made it through it. But you know, you have
to go through things in order to be who God
has called you to be, because at the end of
the day, when you're going through what you're going through
and you're growing through what you're going through, it's not

(13:20):
just for you. It is so that you can be
a testimony. You can be relatable that people can gravitate
to you, and you can reach and teach another individual
and say, look, I've been through it. If you're going
through it, I'm an example. I'm a walking, living, breathing
testimony that this too shall pass and it's not going
to last always. So just hang in there, dig deep
and know that you are created. You're built to go

(13:43):
through these challenges and changes and you're gonna come out
on the other side. And that was why the song
existed because basically once it was written, it was like, oh,
I'm really talking to myself, you know. But at the
end of the day a lot. You know how when
you give advice to other people, you just oh shit,
that was for me, you know, like I was talking

(14:04):
to you, but that was you know, that was for
me too. And so it was the situation that it
was written, but it was you know, it was meant
for everyone. It wasn't just for me and my story
because I'm not a unicorn. I'm really not a unicorn.
We all go through something in life. It just so
happens that I was gifted the platform to be able

(14:25):
to share, you know, this sentiment with the world, the masses,
you know, to say, Okay, look, you know, even though
you see me as Adina Howard, even though you may
see Beyonce is Beyonce. You may see Taylor Swift as
Taylor Swift, and so on and so forth. We eat, sleep, bleed,
you know, and feel things like every other human being.

(14:46):
We're not exempt. And my song is a testimony. I
have my battle scars. You know, I'm going through something
right now, but at the end of the day, I'm
still here. I'm still standing, and I'm going to make
it through this no matter or what, because I know
that I know that, I know that, I know that
God put it in me to overcome this.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
We will tell you something, miss Dina, right, because I
don't believe in no accidents, and I you know, I'm
about about status as I speak.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
Whatever God puts through me, he was chosen, you see
what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Absolutely that she was as a young girl when it
was like like me, when he was all fallowing behind
you or whatever.

Speaker 9 (15:23):
That was necessary because you wasn't going to break through
without that.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
You needed that.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
But when God take me through these wilderness experiences which
I didn't been through a whole bunch of them, right,
we're learning because it's necessary for where He's taken. I see,
you were supposed to be. You're the seven Mountains of Influence.
You were supposed to be here because there are a
lot of people who, like you said, are suicidal. They're
taking this entertainment thing to the to the head, you

(15:49):
know what I'm saying, or even life. They don't even
know how to come.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
Through life, so that they need you. That song is powerful.
Your testimony is.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Even more powerful because of what you've and the fact
that you're able to say, listen, I haven't been there,
I was that young girl, you know, dropping it like
as how whatever, And I ain't telling you not.

Speaker 9 (16:08):
Just understand that when you drop it like this having
some consequences. What that?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (16:15):
And that's I love it.

Speaker 8 (16:17):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
People have to understand that every action has a reaction,
and everything that you do is going to generate some
type of response in some way shape form or fashion, good, better, indifferent.
You know, it just depends on your perspective. And so
just be mindful of what you do and how you
do it because what you do now is going to
affect your future. Just like your past affected affects your present,

(16:43):
what you do in this moment is going to affect
your future. So just always be mindful of the seeds
that you do. So always be mindful of how you
treat people, how you talk to people, because if you
don't want it done to you, don't do it to
someone else, because it's going to come back.

Speaker 9 (17:00):
Yes it will. So I'm curious.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Tell us a moment when you had to overcome something
and you had to put that music, I mean in
a scenario that that you don't mind sharing, where you
had to put that to the test.

Speaker 9 (17:18):
We had to man.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Man like what I mean, life just throws so many
things at you. What do I want to share? I'm
just trying to think, Like, so let me just say this.
Right now, I'm in a hospital right someone who's significant
in my life is going through it right and I'm

(17:46):
having to be here in the midst of that, on
this call right now. You know, like I said, I'm
sitting in the hospital.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
I had to.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I couldn't. I didn't leave, you know, early enough to
be able to get to my room to have this
this this this zoom moment. And so even just right now,
you know, someone that is near and dear to me
almost didn't make it a week ago. You know, They've

(18:12):
been in the hospital for almost two weeks, and I'm
the one that discovered them, you know, going through something,
a major health crisis. And I have to say, I
when I went into prayer, I just said, you, Lord,
I thank you. I thank you for choosing me, for
finding me worthy to you know, to be the one

(18:36):
to you know, be assigned this mission, this assignment. So
thank you for giving me the strength, the courage, the wisdom,
the fortitude to get through this. So like even right now,
in this moment, like I said, I'm sitting in a hospital,
waiting room because I couldn't get I couldn't get to
my hotel room fast enough. So yeah, I'm here, and

(18:58):
I'm just grateful that God saw me, deemed me worthy
to be the one to make it happen.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Well, I just want to send prayers out to that
significant one, right, thank you for sending prayers of healings,
you know, a.

Speaker 9 (19:15):
Peace that surpassed.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
It's all understanding to his family, you know, friends, everybody,
just you know, just we our prayers because I understand.

Speaker 9 (19:23):
I'm a nurture, so I know what it's like. You know,
you or still coming.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
You know what I'm saying, it's still a.

Speaker 9 (19:31):
Part of this. Like I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Let me let me say something. So one of the reasons,
like my daddy tells us all the time, the beat
goes on. You know, the world does not stop. Because
you're going through something. You know, it's going to keep
moving with or without you. And if you're still here
in the presence of it all, you're gonna have to
find something within you to continue to move forward. Because again,

(19:58):
it's not just about you, it's you know, every all
of us are you know, intertwined in some way shape
from a fashion, you know, so that there's an interdependence.
And because I'm here to be able to have this
zoom right now, I just was able to give somebody
the strength to pull through, you know, I was just
able to give somebody the permission to say, it's okay

(20:22):
to move forward. It's okay to continue to live life.
It's okay to continue to move in a manner where
you're handling business. It's not that it's about neglect. It's
about that you have to continue to move forward. You
have to take care of yourself. You have to find
the strift to keep handling business because life is not
going to stop right.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
So how do you motivate yourself when you get to
those low points? Because we all, I mean, if everybody's honest,
they have those low points. There's those times when you
were expecting something to happen, didn't happen the way you
thought it was going to happen, or you didn't get
paid you thought it was gonna get paid, or something something.
Somebody broke your heart and we all got different scenarios.

(21:03):
So within yourself, how do you get past those dark times?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
This too shall pass. I look at my life and
all of the things that I've been through, and here
I am, Amen, Here I am, you know, still filled
with joy, still filled with peace in spite of because
we all hear saying, you know, God wouldn't it wouldn't
take you through it if you didn't have the strength.

(21:29):
And I recognized that I was chosen for everything that
I went through, because again it's to show other individuals
going through something that you know, you can make it
through this, you know, no matter what. So for me,
it's all temporary, and whether it's a long temporary or
a short temporary, it's temporary. And I keep that in

(21:51):
my mind and in my heart because as long as
you're living, you're going to go through something. It's not
you know, life isn't going to always be about rainbows
and cupcakes. You know, it's going to be a grind.
It's going to be you know, dark days, and it's
going to be a situation where you don't know that

(22:11):
you'll ever see some type of you know, sunlight, but
you will. You just have to know that and make
sure you go within to find that answer, that information,
because if you're going and looking on the outside of you,
it's not going to be there. You're not. You may
not find those individuals that you're looking for to comfort you.
You may not find you know, that that substance, that

(22:32):
vice that can really take away your pain. I mean,
things are gonna number you and it's all going to
be temporary again. But you know, what I know for
me is internal and the internal is eternal, and that's
my creator, and I know I'm gonna get through it
all no matter what, because I have a divine covering
over me.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
So I love that you decided I want to switch
to the indie side because I'm thinking that are you
still with a label?

Speaker 9 (23:00):
Are you independent or with your own label? Now? How
how are I'm independent?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
And it's my own label. So this particular song is
released through my my independent label as well as my
manager's label. So and it hasn't been listed because we
just released it, but it's indelible in Taylor Made Entertainment.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
So what are your thoughts about vinyl records, CDs, USB
albums and things of that nature, and you know, album
release parties and record stores and all that kind of stuff.
What is your thought about that? As far as your
all music and your new music.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I think it's all great and it all serves a purpose,
you know. We you know, the more things change, the
more things stay the same. So even though we went
we went from tangible to you know, tangible album CDs,
and then we went to quote unquote I call it
vapor where digital digital assets, it's still something that at
the end of the day, you get to own, so

(23:59):
to speak, and you can share it with the masses
in these different forms. And I think it's amazing to
be able to still do things in a way where
you can still have album release parties and you can
still share your music with you know, and nowadays you
can share it with the world on a whole other level.
And I think it's you know, I look at the
world and I think it's great, you know, even though
I come, you know, on my seventies, baby, because I'm

(24:21):
fifty one and i'm you know, I remember cassette tapes
and I remember being you know, you know, recording music
off the radio. You have to time it just right,
you know, before they you know, right after they stop
talking and right before they start talking, you know. So
I just think I love living in this era right
now because I have you know, for those of us

(24:44):
who are you know, seasoned I have one foot in
the analog era and one foot in the digital era,
and I think it's amazing to have both experiences because
I'm able to root myself in both.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Well, you know, at this season, we can actually get
you into a record store and have a whole album released.

Speaker 9 (25:06):
In fact, the owner of DBS Sounds.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Was like, talk to it about coming out here to
the A t L.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
You know, I will actually be. I think I'll be
in a t L sometime in August. I believe August
to September I'll be. I'll be in the area.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
So we'll keep in touch with your manager and getting
touched with you, you know, the record store and see,
you know what, what would make happen. I'm sorry, I.

Speaker 9 (25:38):
Going crazy for this song right here.

Speaker 10 (25:45):
I overstand this is part of an EP or an
album that you're releasing.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's just a sing. Well, let me like this this
particular song. My manager's creating a compilation album, so this
is for his project.

Speaker 9 (25:59):
You know.

Speaker 1 (26:00):

you know, to have the first single off of the project. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
So I actually I want to share my desktop because
I want to go to your website. I love your website,

Speaker 1 (26:32):

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yes, I love it.

Speaker 9 (26:35):
So I love the website. So what's this ray?

Speaker 3 (26:37):
I like this?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
So you have your own wine wine? Click on that?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Okay, So yeah, it comes about the wine.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
So the wine is called Indelible and it is a
semi sweet port style wine.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
It is.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
It was we you know, my manager. Of course, any
think anything that I wish to have, you know, jump off,
management is going to make it happen like that. And
so I wanted a wine because we were going to
promote a song called Liquor, and I thought a wine
would be great to promote the single Liquor. And the wine,
Indelible Wine came about. Like I said, it's a semi

(27:19):
sweet port style wine. It is a tawny and a
tawny means that it's been aged in barrels for ten
years or more. And the it's actually been aged in
French oak. So it has a nice little woodsy taste
to it has a nice smooth kind of like bourbon finish.
It's a sipper, you know. It's for those who want

(27:39):
to elevate you know, their their wine sipping experience.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
Damn is it available different places? Can they order it
online here? Or how can they be able to purchase
your So.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
If you if you click on the button where it
says order, you can purchase now, you can actually take
you to the to site and you can order it
right then and there you're gonna see like when you're
going to see the product shot and it's three bottles
in the in the product shot, but it's actually one
bottle that you will get, you know, and like it's
a it's it's an elevated price. It's for people who

Yeah, you do.

Speaker 9 (28:23):
Listen, I love you. I love your website, I really
do so. I love the picture, the whole color scheme.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
You know, it's like I'm still It's almost like it's saying, listen,
I'm a mature a dinner, but I'm still a dean.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Absolutely absolutely, you know I still have my roots. You know,
you know, this is the thing I think people have
to understand is what made you is important, but you
have to remember to grow, right, It's it's you know you,

(29:00):
It's it's very important to allow yourself to mature and
in a whole lot of different ways, because if you
stay the same, there's nothing special about you, and God
did not create you to just stay who you are.
Life is, you know, with all the experiences that you
go through during your journey, it is to mature you.

(29:23):
It is to show you that you are more than
you think you are, than you know you are. Because
a lot of us are like, this is who I
am and I ain't changing. That don't make no sense.
God puts you on earth to grow, seasons change, so
why would we not?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
And well, just let me play the sample of this. Yeah, yeah, God,
listen your thirty seconds you're to go to the website. Yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (29:59):

dinner like you guys, because she has been a staple
in you know.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
R and B and that the was it? Do you
want to ride? What is it? Right?

Speaker 5 (32:20):
There is the cut and I tell you what, had
I not known it as you you know, I would
have thought it was mini reported. Did people tell you
that all the time?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
No, But I'm that is very humbling good.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
I mean really that song that I mean, the way
that you did that, it just that's unsung.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Let me tell you that that cut.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Right there is I would like for you to bring
it back.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
And maybe think about, you know.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
On the Gospel rim you do some gospel things, you know,
maybe uh, you know, kind of take it and bring
it in that way because that such a great that's
such a great record. And I wanted to let you
know how we just value your voice because your voice
has so many great tones in it and we need

(33:11):
to hear more of that.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Look you feel sexy at twenty five? You hear me,
I felt like I was a diva.

Speaker 9 (33:20):
I didn't grown with you.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
You are we are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Come on now? And Kim is somebody who's she's been
rocking with us for a long time and she's doing
stuff and this aren't you like Grammy something going on?

Speaker 5 (33:35):
I just but yeah, I'm I'm a voting Grammy member now. Yeah, yeah,
So I'm excited. I'm excited about that. Yeah, these are
good people and I believe that, you know, we all
need to unite and support each other and let our
you know, spirits come together to be in the universe
to help us all make this, you know, make it

(33:58):
a better place by showing our unity in support of
one another.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
So, do you ever do do whatts with anybody? Miss Adena?
Do you ever do any?

Speaker 8 (34:13):
I have?

Speaker 1 (34:13):
But not lately. You know, when you're not on people's radar,
you know, and you're not in that space of being
an asset, people aren't checking for you, you know. So
at this moment, I have not done any lately, but
you know in the past I have and I'm not

(34:35):
opposed to them at all, you know, but it always
has to be the right person.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
To do, artists that would love to rock with you
in some kind of way.

Speaker 9 (34:44):
So just keep your eyes opening.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
What interesting is I just I was checking my dms
because people have a tendency to reach out to me,
you know, for bookings and you know, show up and
do like a verse or you know, re single hook
or something and and people have a tendency And this
is what I tell people all the time, especially if
you want to become you know, an artist in the

(35:07):
entertainment business, be mindful of how you debut because that's
how people will want to continue to see you. Right,
They're going to put you in a box that you know,
they can't even expand their minds to see you outside
of that box, and so you're gonna have to deal
with people wanting to keep you where you are. And
I had someone who I finally checked one of my

(35:27):
dms today and on my Instagram and somebody was like, Oh,
I have this song that I would love for you
to sing on. It's called Talk Dirney Wow. And I
was just like no, But of course, you know, I
just like no. But in my mind, I was like no,
because that's not where I am. And you know, I'm
not twenty one anymore. I'm fifty one. And because of that,

(35:53):
you know, I'm on my path is different than what
it was. I'm on a whole different trajectory and so
singing something of that nature now, to me, it's like
a moot point. It doesn't make sense because it's not
going to move me forward. And I'm in a space

(36:15):
where that part of my life served a purpose, that
type of music served a purpose. I had to give
people what they wanted in order to give them what
they need in this moment, and what they need right
now is inspiration. They need to know that they're resilient.
They need to know that they you know, if they're
hang in there and just dig deep and pull that
courage out of them to continue to overcome all of

(36:39):
their you know, the challenges that they're facing. So for me,
if it's not a song that's going to inspire it,
uplift and help people overcome, I'm really honestly not interested
right right, No, we're not doing the more Freak Like
Me look at you know, Like look so every every
year I get probably at least probably about a minimum

(37:06):
of fifty requests to redo that song. Wow, a minimum,
you know, if it's like, okay, can I get your
approval to you s freak Like Me for a remix?
Can you sing on the remix of Freak Like Me?
And it's just on and on and on, and I'm like, no,
I'm over it. How many how many ways can I
sing the damn song? If you know, if you want

(37:28):
a remix, just go pull the acapella and if you
want it, and if you want it approved, you need
to go through wea right, you know, you got to
go through you know, a lecture or warner to get
the approval because I didn't write the song.

Speaker 9 (37:43):
And we not freaking right now.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Oh no, don't get a twisted I'm still freaking.

Speaker 9 (37:47):
However you want to see anybody, I'm just not.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
I'm just not.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
I'm just not freaking like I was at twenty one, right,
you know.

Speaker 9 (38:00):
A little different, but we're just not singing about freaking
right now.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Right exactly. You see yours, you see your sitting by
your side, and you can get it in with him
on the regular. You know. You know what I'm saying.
It's now It's like, okay, it's a whole different. It's
a whole different, you know, mindset, it's a whole different
you know environment now and when you get to a
space where you just showed your wild oats, you know

(38:25):
now you want to just go ahead and just be
with that one special person that is going to be
your person.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
You understand what I'm saying. Any more of the back
seat stuff. Let me tell you something.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
The only time I'm doing it in the back seat
is Look, the only time I'm doing it in a
backseat is with mine right, me and mine and were
going we can get it. Like you said, I know
you and your husband, y'all. I see y'all over there,
I see y'all over there. I can already, I can already,
I can read the room.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
And when you have that person that you you know
you can cut loose with, you know, Yeah, babe, let's
go ahead and do it, because there's nothing get that
special somebody to come down to come be with.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
There's there's like that whole that whole freaking a week
type stuff in the nineties when everybody's just doing whatever.
When you get older, when you get don't nobody want
to be sitting on the bits by themselves at sixty
seventy eight years old and all that kind of stuff. No,
it's kind of settled down and find you somebody and chill,
you know, and you write down body, write somebody to

(39:30):
right somebody, and even you young ones, you know, it's
nothing more beautiful than having that union.

Speaker 9 (39:35):
That's true. That's the truth of the matter.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
And from and from my understanding, it's hard out here
for people. You know, It's like they like Dayton is
like rock and so if you have somebody right now,
especially if you're a seasoned individual and you know you're
always going to go through something with someone. It's just
making sure that the right someone. And I tell people

(39:59):
all the time good and or two different things like that,
you know that's a good man or that's a good woman.
Good and you know good is vitamin vitamin B twelve
is good for you? You know, but is it right
for you in that moment? You know what I'm saying.
So find the right person for you, because that right
person is gonna be a good person.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
I'm curious, mister ed Strickland, I see you down here.
Do you want to say anything? Or who wants to
say something?

Speaker 1 (40:26):
And let me just let me add is not is
my rep. He's not my manager. He's my rep. Yeah,
that's my rep. But he goes hard in the paint
for me. So you know I'm gonna I'm gonna gives
his props.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
I don't know if it's listen strict. I hope I'm not.
I don't know how to work this.

Speaker 11 (40:46):
Okay, now can you hear me? Now I'm up here
hitting the phone and hitting the wall. No, I just
want to say, yeah, whatever is necessary to help uh
her on this journey with this project and working with
y'all right now is another step, and we thank you
and looking forward to recircling back around and definitely in Atlanta.

Speaker 9 (41:10):
You more than.

Speaker 11 (41:10):
Welcome to You're invited to the show. So just stay tuned,
watch her her website you'll get the venue and all
all of the above, but definitely, Uh She's on this
journey and much support to her and her spiritual faith,
you know, and this is her time again. And that's
what I'm pushing you, aDNA, That's what I'm trying to.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Get here to do like a you know a little
look at the record store, which you are, some CD
albums and stuff and sign. I just did it for
I just did it Nasby. You remember ed Nasby from
South Yes, yes, what I'm saying, beautiful spirit. Oh my gosh,

(41:52):
you can't get her song out of my head, beautiful spirit.
So she did a meet and Greek basically a sign
and she performed. She did like one or two songs,
you know from what she's pushing, and it was an
amazing turnout.

Speaker 9 (42:06):
And to me, you know, I'm a social media whatever,
I'm all over the place CD yes, but so I.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Definitely would like to talk with BBS Sounds and see
if we can make that happen with your manager or whoever,
and see if they're interested. They you know, can get
some CDs or whatever and head talk about.

Speaker 11 (42:28):
Her bind well, hold on this particular song. A Dinna
mentioned earlier. This is available only on her site right now. Okay,
so it's not something that's a tangible item that we
can sign and so forth, but a meet and greet
if it's in her If it's possible, we'll discuss that.
But thank you for offering. But right now you're available

(42:49):
on her website. So a Dinna, you know we're talking.
We may circle back with all the traditional platforms, but
right now we're doing this so she can sit where
she's at to talk to people like y'all too. To
keep it personal. We're gonna grow this thing organically, but
this was her concept and management idea to make this thing.

(43:11):
We're not pushing.

Speaker 9 (43:12):
We're not chasing this record up to chart. This is
chasing your feelings.

Speaker 11 (43:17):
You're following acknowledging your feelings.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
Well to touch my feelings, I played feelings. We also
have somebody else down here who is Tom sure I
want to ask a question, TM, do you want to
say something? I don't listen, Tom, you gotta unmute yourself

(43:42):
if you want to say.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Ed, you might want to go ahead and remute yourself
to just in case.

Speaker 12 (43:49):
You know.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
This new technology, this new technology is something else, but
us expose you.

Speaker 9 (43:56):
I got to run the bathroom hold on, I said,
mute joke.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Can tell well, I don't know when when, If TM,
you're able to come on whenever you can.

Speaker 9 (44:07):
So I really love that you are independent. I love
that you know.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
And whenever you do get to the point where you
ready to do the CDs, albums and stuff, you know
you still got content. You know you still got I
don't know what you can and can't. What was independent
to you that you can release on an album, CD
or whatever. But never forget about that because that's that,
that's that master p type money. Give us some I'm
saying that right. This is the.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Excuse the interjection. So one of the things that you know,
the era that we're living in, a lot of people
now are streaming and if you know, and technology has
done away with you know, CD ROMs and you know,
CD players, so they make it so stream where you
download people moving from.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
So that's lit from mainstream. Let me tell you something.
These cars, let me just break this down. You missed
being because I tell these independent artists.

Speaker 9 (45:02):
All the time.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
These cars that were made in the too, My nineteen,
my two thousand and eight.

Speaker 9 (45:08):
Yeah, city player in it. That's my mind.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I have a twenty fourteen miles to three, So mind
us too.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Ah.

Speaker 10 (45:16):
Millions of cars still have CD record players are still
coming back.

Speaker 9 (45:21):
They're making up.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, Vinylly definitely making this way back.

Speaker 9 (45:24):
For sure.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
The main independent, the independent movement has to get away
from thinking that it has to all we.

Speaker 9 (45:31):
Have to put all our eggs in the virtual basket.
You can't do that.

Speaker 10 (45:36):
That's why she put the music on her website so
you can get it directly from her, you know what
I mean, and to be involved what it is that
she's doing, so you could be the fean of what
she is she's doing instead of having to go through
a second or third party, which I really I've been
saying that to a lot of artists for a long time.
I might get your own thing, you know, if you
want to get your own website or if you're going

(45:58):
to be able to get your your QR code. Having
something is coming directly to you compared to just put
an out there to the world, to the postest fans.
People are gonna follow you. They're gonna get it directly
from you first before it does go out there. So
when the record does go on the radio or if
it goes on uh, you know different platforms, you already
know you know what you're dealing with.

Speaker 9 (46:17):
With the numbers of people are coming directly to you.
For that, I always I believe in that, and I believe.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
In when when you go and do it a performance
and you get up there and you rock the stage,
you come off and you sign some autographs, CDs and
make that money.

Speaker 9 (46:31):
I'm sorry because I feel like.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Old school old school boy.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
I mean because because we got to take back control
of our stuff. We got a I out here that's
not playing. They still you know, they're doing whatever. So yeah,
that is true.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
There's always a way, there's always a way to get
just one of the things. Being independent, you have to
it's important to do your research, your homework. And thisstro
kid I just you know, was doing some research. It's
it's a streaming platform. So distr kid is is a
streaming platform. That allows the artists to keep one hundred

(47:07):
percent of their royalties even though it's on the streaming platform. So,
you know, just like CD Baby and tune Core, you know,
distroc Kid is the same. But unlike you know, CD
Baby in tune core that you know will take a percentage,
distric Kid allows you to keep all of your money.

Speaker 9 (47:26):
I think Kenna's got a question.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah, I do that, hand raised all right.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
I know this is on the business side.

Speaker 5 (47:35):
So okay, how did you handle the publishing and the
songwriting back then and performing the soul Since you didn't
write the soung were you able to have some type
of investment in it in reference to you know, like

(47:56):
I said, soul writing published or anything like that where
you able to have any type of monetary gain from.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
It like that.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
So I get mechanical royalties performance royalties. So I do
get that because you know, of course I've performed the
song and I sing the song, and one of the
things that be and I started doing. I don't know
if c SAC does it or ASCAP does it, but
with be in I you're able to you know, submit
your playlist and you know the date of the show,

(48:29):
and you can get paid for performances, you know, live performances.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
Oh okay, yeah, And one other thing.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
I saw a previous interview and I do you want
to use unscripted.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
To tell us what it is that you said that?

Speaker 7 (48:46):
Really?

Speaker 1 (48:46):
No, I won't ever I won't ever repeat that. I
won't I won't ever repeat that. That's you know what
people are like? What does she say? What did she say?
They won't? Only the only people that are privy to
that are the people that were present to win on
that day and back in ninety five ninety six. And
it was actually right as it was right after I
finished doing an interview with Wendy Williams in New York.

Speaker 9 (49:10):
Neighbor Williams, I love it.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
So what do you want people to when they see
Dina Howard? Now, what do you want people to see
you as?

Speaker 9 (49:26):
Like?

Speaker 3 (49:26):
What you want them to come away with? What the
season of Dina Howard versus the Yeah Adena Howard?

Speaker 1 (49:33):
What do you what do you want them to see
that I'm an overcomer, that I'm an overcomer that when
you see me, just know that at the end of
the day, I went through something and I came through
it out on the other side. You know I grew
through what I went through, you know, so yeah, I

(49:54):
loved it.

Speaker 9 (49:55):
I've always loved your strength.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
I love this part of your strip too, Like I'm
a truth saying, like listen, I'm a fan.

Speaker 9 (50:04):
So what about cooking? Because I thought that you'd like
to cook? Are you still doing your cooking yourself?

Speaker 1 (50:09):
You know, when it becomes when it starts to feel
like a job, I'm not interested, you know. And it started,
you know, it started feeling like a job. And I
was like, no, I'm good.

Speaker 9 (50:21):
You know, what's your favorite recipe?

Speaker 1 (50:24):
That's that one?

Speaker 9 (50:25):
Now?

Speaker 1 (50:26):
Well, now what repeat that?

Speaker 9 (50:28):
What's your favorite recipe to make?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Even though it was like, you know, so interesting enough
with me, I have a tendency to make things that
I have never made before. You know. I came up
with and I've made it one time, and I have
I've not ever made it again. I made a curry
chicken pop pie that and I took it to my

(50:50):
besties family gathering and they've been talking about that curry
chicken pop pe till this day. And I don't even
know what I did. Wow, I can't tell you. I
can't tell you this day how I made it. I
created like a ground turkey lasagna, which I make that
on the regular because my guy loves my ground turkey lasagna.
At one point it went from a vegan lasigna to

(51:14):
a ground turkey because I was using beyond beef and
then it started tasting real chemical like, and I was like,
I can't use that anymore. I have these wings that
cause sticky wings that I make. It just really depends,
you know. I just love to cook and feed people.
I am that I enjoy. So it's one of those
things that if you say to me, make something, you know,

(51:36):
one of your favorite dishes, I'll make it. I'll figure
out how to make it, and it probably won't taste
like your favorite dish. I'm say this way because I
believe in my cooking it'll taste better.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
So if so, you were in.

Speaker 9 (51:53):
Movie I was just one.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
I know we're moving along. You were also in Are
you planning on doing any more movies? Independent films, anything
like that?

Speaker 1 (52:01):
And absolutely, I enjoy being the creative. I enjoy tapping
into all of the gifts that I've been you know,
given so the talents and gifts that I have that
have been bestowed upon me. I'm going to definitely use
them to the best of my ability.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Okay, do you have anything that's coming out because I'm
in a h you had an independent film at some point, right,
So the last movie.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
That I was in is called false profits, and profits
is like uh p R O F I T S
not p H. You know what I'm saying. So profits
like money, So it's called false profits. That's the latest
in the greatest. But there are other things that are
gonna come that's gonna come to the table then, you know, or.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Are these are there are these coming to your own
filming company or you're doing celeboration.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
You know I've been you know, They're like there's certain
scripts that are come my way and I'll read them
and if they, you know, they make sense for me
to do, I'll do them. These other people reaching out
to me. I have different plays that people want me
to do. So it's you know, the different things that
coming to the table. It just needs to make sense
because I don't chase money. I go get my blessings.

Speaker 9 (53:17):
Come on now, come on now.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Yes, So this particular video is one of we have
a new platform. You can tell I'm real passionate about
the independent movement, right the indie revelue all that. So
we have a group on Facebook called the Atlanta Music
Ministry Group that's about thirty thousand members in there. And
group we have created app on Roku it's called am

(53:43):
I TV. And so we're just providing a platform for
the independent artists and mainstream to come and you know,
just help us build this indie movement because I just
feel like, you know, there are millions of independent artists, millions, millions,
and if we come together and we work together and
we help each other, there's no cap on where we

(54:05):
can go.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
So it's I think one of the things that I
want people who are independent artists to understand is this,
it takes money. In order to make money, you have
to spend money, and you have to spend it wisely
because you're gonna need your dollar to go a very
long way. Do not allow these and you know, these

(54:27):
these streaming platforms to get you messed up, because at
the end of the day, it's more than just putting
it up on CD, Baby Tone, Core, distroal Kid, or
even your website. You need to make sure that you
have a budget to be able to market and promote
your music because now You're having to deal with a

(54:50):
plethora of independent artists that are out there, and they
all want the same thing. They all want for their
song to be heard. They all want their name to
be a household name. They all want to achieve a
level of success whatever their whatever their definition of success is,
they want to achieve it. But it takes money to
make money, and it's going to take money to be successful,

(55:12):
you know. And I say this will all due respect,
but ed ain't free and he ain't g That's right,
you know what I'm saying. So, and you want people
to and you want to hire people that have a
track record. You want to hire people that know what
they're doing.

Speaker 8 (55:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
You want to make sure that you have your you know,
your i's dotted and your t's crossed. You want to
make sure that you pay your taxes. You want to
make sure that you have the right attorney looking at
your paperwork and making sure you sign the right deal,
because even though you're independent, you can sign some stuff
that have you messed up, like a major artist who
signed a bad, you know, bad deal. So read your paperwork.

(55:54):
Know that at the end of the day, you are
the reason for your season, your successes and your failures,
and if you fail, there's nothing wrong with that. There's
just another step closer to success. But you're gonna have
to do your homework and make sure that you're in
the know, because again, you are the reason for your season.
You're the reason for your successes or your failures. Do

(56:15):
your homework, and.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Then stay emotionally stable. Like you said, you know what
I overstand like stay because it's so easy to idolize
this industry to the point where it will have it
will it has had people mentally and emotionally messed up.
You got more people who have gotten on drugs and

(56:37):
all kinds of stuff to try to, you know, stabilize
their mind because their hopes is here and they want
to be here tomorrow. But there's a you know, there's
a yeah steps or whatever, and people's mental emotions not
always able to handle.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
So there's a process to everything, right, process to everything.
Make sure that you know what the process is and
follow the process. But another thing that people have to
understand that the majority of the people that you see
in this industry that are addicts of any kind, be
it a sex addict, drug addict, alcohol work act, whatever,

(57:13):
doesn't matter. Prior to getting into this industry, they had vices.
This just exacerbates it. So if you're not in a healthy,
stable place before you get into this industry, it's gonna
take you. It's gonna take you in and it's going
to play on your insecurities. It's gonna play on your traumas,
your PTSD, your drama and all of that stuff. So

(57:35):
just know that if you don't if you're not grounded,
and you don't have your mind right before you get
into this, all it's gonna do is is take you
by to you know, take you by the collar and
run you. It is gonna dog walk you. So make
sure you get when you come into this industry, and
it doesn't matter what sector of the entertainment business you're in,
make sure you're grounded, make sure you're focused. Make sure

(57:58):
that at the end of the day, you serve around
yourself with people who are going to look out for you.
And you always need to look out for yourself. You
can't always depend on other people to look out for
you anyway. You look out for you first and make
sure you're where you need to be, and then you
surround yourself people that are going to hold you to
your ship.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (58:16):
Yeah, that's what I love it. Anybody that.

Speaker 11 (58:24):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (58:25):
I love your energy.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
Like I said, I've been a fan for so very long.
And when he told me that you were going to
we're willing to, you know, get an interview when you
were on over an influencers, you know, and I was
the one like, hey, you can see me. But I
was so excited and I'm very appreciative that you decided
to come down our lane and to talk about you,

(58:47):
you know, share your music with us, share your story
with us, encourage us because there are a lot of
people who are going to watch this, you know, because
I'm a promoter.

Speaker 9 (58:55):
Listen, this is gonna be all over the place.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
I see.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Time.

Speaker 9 (59:01):
But I fel like people need to hear.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
This because there are so many people hurting right now,
especially politically. You know what I'm saying, I don't know
what's going on in America.

Speaker 9 (59:10):
You know, I don't.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (59:11):
I don't understand how to excuse me. I don't care.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
I don't know how y'all put him back in here.
Y'all knew he was messed back then, and it ain't
that change. So I'm just like people are going through
emotional changes. I talk to people. I'm a nurse, so
I listened to the people with anxiety with depression. You know,
they're worried about you know, their income and how they
gonna take care of their family and all that kind
of stuff like so you know, it's real. So we need,

(59:35):
you know, artists like you to come out and be like, listen,
let me ground you for a second. Listen, this too
shall pass.

Speaker 9 (59:42):
Listen.

all that kind of stuff. This season is only for
a moment. Get past this, you know, play.
