here in Maryland. I have myown event planning company. Love doing the
arts, sewings and putting events together. That's so, yeah, that's me.
(03:52):
It's a little bit about me.Nice. Nice, So with your
husband being in the Marines and it'sit's crazy you mentioned that, because I
actually I have two nephews. Um, there are any Marines that swell?
Um, did you guys move alot or were you? Were you lucky
enough just to have to move acouple of times that kind of have settle
ground. So we have moved.However, those moves have been um personal.
(04:15):
So because the reserve, he chooseswhen he goes to active duty.
Nice. When we when we gotmarried, I moved to Jersey with him
because I'm order he grew up inJersey. Um, I moved to Georgia,
I mean, excuse me, toJersey, and then we moved back
to Georgia, I though I hadmy second child, Um, just because
(04:36):
I wanted to be closer to fieldand get more support. Um. Georgia.
Georgia's good. I love Georgia,but the pay is not as good
as it's knacker at all. Lookhere to Virginia, and then from Virginia,
now we're here in Maryland. Ohwow. Yeah. I have a
cousin who actually loves in Virginia.She's a teacher up there, and um,
(05:00):
and she wanted to move to Georgia. I was like, well,
how much are you making and Ithink I want to say, she's like,
a it's not a Um, Iwant to say, it's like almost
like a charter school compared to theschools like here in Georgia. And she
was like, oh, yeah,we get bonuses. I think she makes
almost like ninety thousand. I'm like, old girl, you ain't gonna get
that at all when you're coming toGeorgia. There's a lot of charter schools
(05:21):
out this way. But yeah,she's definitely not gonna make that m at
all at all. All right,So, speaking about teachers at school,
you mentioned that you do have children, So, um, what are they?
Boys and girls? Saying? Whatare their ages? So my oldest,
um, Lands is seven years old. He's in the second grade.
My daughter Giselle is five years old. Um, she is in the garten.
(05:46):
Okay. My youngest is tennth oldand he goes to school at home.
Nice. So seven five and ten, so a little bait. Well,
I want to say a little babiesbecause I know they probably have the
biggest personalities. Oh my gosh,the biggest. All right, So seven
five and ten, So with happychildren that age, what type of parenting
(06:09):
style do you think you have like, are you kind of laid back or
you know, you try to besuper strict, like, okay, you
know, respect make sure you makeup your best every morning, especially with
them being that young. I'm reallyI would really like to know how your
parents' style is. So you haveto kind of learn your your kids because
stud is different. Each child requireddifferent things. Like for example, my
(06:33):
son, I can wake up inthe morning and say, hey, get
up, is something get ready toschool, and he'll be up. He
might, you know, moan andcomplain, but he'll get up. My
daughter, on the other hand,is five four three. Okay, you
know you kind of have to putsure right, I kind of learn for
me. I have to learn eachof them and um parent them just a
(06:57):
little bit different, not so muchshowing theoritaism, but just you know,
trying to do something that will appealto them, that will make sure that
they're doing what they're supposed to do. Um, laid back, I don't.
I'm not that laid back. UM. I allow them to be expressive.
Ul Um. They know they cancome to me and my husband to
speak, you know about anything.Okay, they're very good kids. You
(07:20):
know, they're very respectful. Theyknow you know what lines to cross and
butt lines not to cross, becausewe don't around here. So yeah,
I laid back. And you know, my husband's military, so he is
in strict and and that's why Isay, that's why I ask us.
Normally, when the husband is military, the mom is kind of like,
you know, the nurturing type.All right, you know, it's okay.
(07:43):
But then again, I came acrossa couple of people who both of
them it's like now that you alreadyknow if I say or he say,
it's wrapped right. Oh yeah,absolutely, I'm never gonna go back after
um, you know, one ofus say no. However, if we
are disciplining them, I do liketo speak to them about, you know,
why they got in trouble and theconsequences and how that could affect them.
(08:05):
So I try to be you know, I try to communicate with them
so they know why, you know, what's going on and why they're getting
in trouble, even though they probablyknow right exactly even before they do it.
Like you know what, I don't. I don't know why I chose
to go ahead and through this,because this is not gonna go be as
planned exactly Awesome awesome. All right, So with being a newer mind,
(08:28):
especially having the the the gap ofwhat five years almost? Yeah? Yeah?
So how so how okay, firstof all, what's what's this plan?
Um? As far as the pregnancyand how was it going through that?
Again? Um, as far asbeing you know, five years out
of the pregnancy game, I sayso it was planned. However it was.
(08:50):
It happened a year before he wasgonna try in two thousand and nineteen,
and he came, you know,in two thousand. We got pregnant
before hand, and he came intwo and eighteen, and it's like starting
all over. So, you know, I have a five year old,
I have a seven year old,but I'm still looking online like okay,
two months old, what is hesupposed to be doing going on? And
(09:13):
why is he doing this? Soyou feel like you're starting all over even
though you're you know, because theygrow so fast. So that's why they
say cherriage every moment, don't wishthey were older, because you really do
lose that time, right right,I completely agree. So I'm not sure
if you've been following the podcast long. So me and my husband we have
(09:35):
five kids altogether. The oldest isfourteen and the youngest just turned two,
so yeah, so it's fourteen,twelve, ten, And I did too.
So I tell people when I hadRammy, like honestly, like you
said, I felt like a brandnew mom, like I also one,
having the look up stuff, andyou know, you kind of go in
and like, Okay, you know, I'm two kids in I kind of
(09:56):
already know what to do, butthings changed so drafted over the years.
You're just like, okay, likenow they have a poopy diaper, but
do I do this? And itwas it was just crazy, but he
does. I do tell people thatthey do grow up fast, like you
mentioned, and I'm like, Iwouldn't want to miss anything for the world,
especially with the youngest one. Yeah, and I feel like I kind
(10:18):
of have a little bit more timeto give him younger. You you're trying
to keep up out even though I'mstill doing a lot, you know,
still accomplishing and checking things off mylist. Now that I'm getting older,
I'm actually taking that time to spendand play with them, you know.
Yeah, yeah, because and youknow, I totally agree because my oldest
(10:41):
stort, I had her while Iwas in college. Twenty twenty one,
years old, and like you said, just trying to keep up, finished
school, you know, do everything. And with him. I had him
at thirty two, and it's abig difference just being able. Yeah,
just the planing stage and you know, making sure you're ready for everything and
also taking it in like you said, playing with them and all that.
(11:01):
And I was able to have himat home for the first year, so
that that was good too, becausethe first two babies, they were at
daycare, like right when they turnedI want to say, six weeks.
So yeah, so just being ableto have that time it does make a
bit their friends. Awesome. Awesome, all right, So we're gonna flip
the scrill. So enough about kids, We're gonna talk about relationships. So
(11:24):
how long have you and your husbandbeen married. We've been married for seven
years now, okay, nice,since high school? Long distance at that
too. Wow wow? So howokay? So being together, well,
a long distance relationship since high school? What made you guys want to say?
Okay, you know what, We'regonna go ahead and tie the knight?
(11:46):
Um? We were to get Imean, so you know we kind
of separated when we got into college. You know, I went he wanted
to do his own thing, becauseI've been with him since I was in
high school. You know when youget to college, you kind of want
to just be by yourself. Right. Well, I'm an only child,
so I've been scorned my dad andalways I was like, you know what,
(12:07):
it's time for me to do meand just depend on myself. Um.
And then, um, when wegot back together, you know,
it's just it's just clicked, youknow, we just decided to want it.
Wow. Awesome. So being togetherso longer, being married for seven
years, what type of advice wouldyou give like a newly married couple,
(12:28):
probably three years and to make surethey relationship stays healthy. Um, I
mean communication of course is keep movingbecause um, you always want to learn
your partner. You know, whenI got married, I was younger.
I was twenty three years old.Yeah, the woman that I was ben
(12:50):
I am definitely not that woman.Now I have grown and I'm able to
you know, really, I'm mature. I'm mature. I know who I
am. I know what I asopposed to before I maybe I did not.
Um, So you always want toconstantly learn your partner. You want
to communicate with them what you need, what you want to are um when
(13:11):
you're when you're going through those issues, those times where things aren't always good,
you still need to communicate with them, you know, you kind of
have to talk things through and justremember remember who that person is that you
that you you know, stayd thevows too, because they may not be
that person. You may not seethem in the moment that you're not you're
arguing or you're not agreeing on things, but the person is there at the
(13:35):
core, right right, Completely agree. Good, that's awesome advice. Completely
agree? All right. So,um, so with you being the only
child, um, I'm guessing doyou have a do your husband have a
big family? He does? Hedoes? Okay, so how was that
dynamic coming in, especially since youguys knew each other for so long.
(13:56):
Was it just like everyone you know? It was just like a bit like
their family is your family at thispoint? Well? Yeah, the thing
is, so I'm originally from Liberiaand his family is, um, you
know, he and his family's originalfrom Liberia. So his family knows my
family from back home. Oh nice, I know each other. I also
(14:18):
come from a big family as well, even though I am an only child.
So you know each other. Butit was kind of an adjustment for
me, just because you know,I left my family in Georgia as far
as my immediate family, okay,to Jersey when we first got married.
So it was an adjustment for mebecause you know, his family is great
(14:41):
and they love him and it's avery adherent, but I feel like I
wanted that support from my own familytoo, right, I tell agree,
So, um My, And thereason why I asked that because I'm not
the only child. I do havetwo older sisters, but it was all
girls. It was just my momand my sisters who grew up in the
household. But my husband, hehas a very large family, to the
(15:03):
point people are still Facebook and youknow, me to be their friends and
I'm like, who's this He waslike, oh yeah, that's like my
third cousin on such and such side. I'm like, how do you even
know them? Like what, like, did you guys you know, see
each other out of reunion you knowwhatever. So just seeing that dynamic,
huh, I said, no,I said, it's funny because it's that
way for the both of us.You know, for the requestion, he'll
(15:26):
get someone from my side and I'mlike, oh yeah, yeah. So
and again, and like I said, my family is so small, and
my sister is there now on socialmedia at all, so just you know,
seeing the dynamic and then like theylike doing the barbecues and the Bit
dinners and everything. So it wasit took a little bit of getting used
to because I wasn't used to thatat all, but I do, um
(15:50):
it grew on me. I dolike the whole Bit family, you know,
having all the cousins and you know, taking pictures of like all fifteen
grand babies and things like that,so I think it's cool. Yeah,
So yeah, my family is thedynamic is the same. Okay. I
was the only child, so mymy father is like one of I don't
know how many. My mom islike one of twelve, even though most
(16:14):
of her family is still in Liberia, but most of my dad, well
a lot of my dad family ishere. So I am used to that
family dynamic. I had cousins inthe house growing up with me, so
we had the same upbringing basically.Okay. Also, so when it was
the last time you I'm bus atLiberia, The last time I went was
in two thousand and seven. SoI graduated high school two thousand and seven.
(16:40):
Yep, And I went to collegeone semester, took a break and
I went to Liberia and I hadthe time of my life. Like,
so I need to plan another tripto go back. I know, I
can only imagine. I has tobe beautiful there. Yes, it was.
So people ask me, you know, how did it feel going back?
(17:00):
And I always use this technology,so you know, when you go
on vacation, say you're going toJamaica, somewhere troubable, huh, have
a good time. You're not reallythinking about home, but as soon as
you come home, you're like,oh, you know, you kind of
miss it. You miss it homeYou're like, hu, my house,
I miss you so kind of that'skind of how it felt when I stepped
off the plane. It's like,hume, you know that's that's the way
(17:25):
that I can think to explain it. Oh gosh, I can't. Yeah,
I understand exactly what you're saying.That is that's crazy. But so
when you go try when you planningto go back this time around, are
you going to take the kids?We would love to, Yeah, absolutely.
We both still have family, alot of family back there, so
(17:48):
yeah, we would love, definitelylove to take the kids and you know
we planning on retiring one day backin like Aria. Oh yeah, that's
yeah, that'd be amazing. Ineed to do my little what's the DNA,
Tessa. I need to find outwhere I'm actually from? Um?
I think I'm a yeah, doit soon. Um doing the African ancestry
if you do, If you dothat, just because it wants to a
(18:11):
country and tribe, Okay, Iwant to tell you because I I did
mine. I did the twenty threein need uh huh. I told you
the different countries, but it doesn'ttell you your tribe and things like that.
I think the African Ancestry would bemore specific into you know, what
is that that place and in whattribal um, you know, influence you
(18:32):
have from Okay Okay, yeah,I read it. I wrote it down,
so yeah, I'm definitely gonna dothat that one. All right.
So switching gears for one last time, So let's talk about business. So
you mentioned you have an event planningservice. Um, when when did you
establish that? And Um, firstof all, what's the name of it?
When did you establish it? Andwhat type of services do you give?
(18:52):
So the name is Elite Pedals events. I wanted to do rose Pedal,
but the name was taken Pedals Eventand it was established in twenty fifteen.
Okay, nice, I was doingevent planning beforehand, but it just
wasn't a an established business. Iit became established in twenty and fifteen.
(19:14):
So we do um full event planningand design and coordinating plannings to birthday parties
to small intimate events. Nice.So it's event planning. Your passion?
Is that's something that you always kindof find yourself being into. Yes,
um, I love it, youknow. I just love the art the
(19:37):
making people happy, you know,getting the ideas in their head and making
it into reality. You know whensomeone tells me like, hey, I
want to have a party and Iwant to have this theme, Like I'm
immediately like looking up ideas, wehave things that we can do, thinking
of ways we can step outside thebox. So yeah, that is my
passion. Oh wow. So withthe event planning, once you do book
(20:00):
event, do you contract people outto actually assist you with throwing the event
or is it or do you havea team that is already in house or
are your one woman show? SoI am a team, um, but
I do contract out so I can'tdo everything myself, and I like,
for example, I did a weddingthis UM this January. You know,
(20:22):
she didn't really want to pay formy team, so I did do it
by myself, and I was myself. I would never do that again.
It is crazy. It's a lotof work to try to do it for
yourself. You have a team UMthat has come on board, but we
do contract that out for different thingsthat we may not be able to do,
you know, like maybe UM likeyour your back jobs and things like
(20:47):
that. So yeah, we docontract for contract out for different vendors.
Okay, awesome, awesome, Sois there anything else in the works for
Elite Pedal events? Is there somethingthat you can forward to release in like
in twenty twenty. We are opento um slide I try to do because
just because I'm not fully committed toit one yet, I'm still working in
(21:11):
a field, okay, you knowat home HUM I try to open up
at least five spots, five tosix spots for brides a year, so
we are open, you know,if anyone's looking for an event planner and
we do travel. Okay, that'sgonna be my next question. I'm like
wait, hold on, I mightknow some people. A matter of fact,
most of the weddings that I've donehas been in Georgia. I saw
(21:33):
nice summer. I was in Georgiaat least four times. Oh my gosh,
okay, in the summer in theheat, a matter of fact,
because I had, you know,things and supplies that I had to bring
down with me. Huh, ohmy gosh. And yeah, I just
I'm just thinking summer heat, tryingto plan a wed and it has to
I would think it would just becrucial. But you know, if it's
(21:56):
something you love, you don't eventhink about it, like exactly exactly.
So you mentioned that it wasn't fullycommitted to the event planning service, So
what so what does your other half? What what do you do? I
guess is it a nine to fiveor what's the other position you have?
Yeah, so I do haven't onthe five. I work um with the
(22:17):
federal government as as a administrator.Okay, you know it's the business as
far as event planning is not stable, right right. You may have events
here and then you may not haven'tevent another month. So and I still
have mouths to feed. It's nota full time gig that I have right
now. But that was, youknow, an amazing dream for me to
(22:38):
be, you know, doing thatfull time right right. I don't understand
like when you're working like in people'sservices like that, like you've been planning,
like you mentioned, it's you know, you have your highs. You
can make a lot of money,and then once it stops for a second,
it stops. So you have toget that consistency going where you say,
(22:59):
okay, you know, I kindof let this this other job go
since I see the Moneys following constantly. Exactly awesome, awesome, all right,
So we buy and wrap up theshow. So at the end of
each episode, we play this littlegame called the hot Seat, which is
five random questions that I get toask you and get your opinion on.
Do you want to play? Absolutelyawesome? All right? So question number
(23:22):
one? Excuse me, if youwant one million dollars, what would be
the first thing you would buy?M that I will buy after I pay
off my death? Look, yeah, so being responsible, what would you
buy? Oh? What would Ibuy? Um? Probably some poverty not
(23:45):
a house. I mean, ofcourse I would love to get a house
too, but probably of property.Um to invest in a business, maybe
my event business. Okay, awesome, Yeah, that's all I would do
too. I will probably well,if I wanted to be super emmerar and
ratchet, I'll probably buy like aBentley or something. But with my money,
if I was, I would definitelyhuh wagon exactly, you know,
(24:10):
go ahead and get the dream car. But if I'm being responsible to parent
everything, I would definitely invest probablya lot of it, and um and
also buy some property too. Awesomeall right, So question number two,
name three things you love about yourself? Um. I love that I am
creative. I love that um,I love to cook. I love that
(24:34):
I am just free with myself.In regards to how I dress a dress
for me, everyone always he all, you're always dressed up. But it
makes me happy. It's how Iexpressed myself. M nice, nice you
dress up? Are you doing likethe whole four? Dress up in heels,
have your bag everything? Yes,I am five two, so I
(24:56):
call it short girl syndrome. Ilike to wear heels. But what wait,
but see with you being that size, I'm summing you have small feet,
so you probably have like the cuteas shoes. I do have small
fee I wear you know, maybesix and a half to seven a half
depending on the cut of the shoes. So yeah, okay, see,
(25:18):
and look, I'm on the totallyopposite end. I'm five ten and a
half and I wear a size tenand a half eleven. So if I
find right, So, if Ifind a really cute shoe, I go
hand and grab it. But Ikeep shoes like forever because it's so hard
to find a really nice shoe inmy foot side. But yeah, yeah,
I was like, I wish Iwas at least like five two get
(25:40):
five two five three, I'll beokay. It says five two and a
half. So sometimes I tell peopleon five three, so that half inch
counts. I tell people that allthe time. It counts, all right.
So question number three, All right, if you were being robbed and
could get out of it by rappingor singing one song perfectly, what song
(26:03):
would it be? Oh, that'sa good question. Anything Beyonce? Okay,
alright, Queen be in the house? Okay, cool, alright.
Question number four, what is thelast book you read? Um? The
last book that I read? Um? You? Actually, I have it
(26:27):
right here. It's called you badass, Stop doubting yourself. You know what
I think I have that book?Is it a yellow yep? He yes,
yes, amazing book. I loveit. How to stop doubting your
greatness and start living in awesome life. Yes, yes, okay, good
(26:48):
book. Yeah, I concur onthat great book all right, last question,
start reading it. It took mea while to finish the book because
it was like a hard started forme. I don't know, it was.
It was kind of weird, butI got through it. I liked
it though, yeah yeah, yeah. Once she it was a little bit
hard for me too, but onceshe kind of gets to the middle part,
(27:11):
it kind of gets easier. ButI have started yet. Um.
I told myself for the last quarterof this year, going to next year,
I'm gonna start picking books that Iwould never pick up. So like
one right now I just started readingand actually my daughter picked it out for
me. Something about artificial intelligence andhow it's going to affect us in the
year twenty thirty. Crazy, exactly, super crazy. I have no idea.
(27:36):
It's I don't know, it's weirdkinda and Facebook and social media.
So I got through like chapter one, and this is like a struggle.
But I'm committed because I wanted atleast kind of brought in my horizons for
us with books. So I'll letyou're here about it. I'll let you
know how I got all right,last question, if you can go back,
(28:00):
what would you tell your twenty oneyear old self? One thing,
Oh my gosh, I would tellhers to not be afraid and take those
risks, because yes, one lifeto live. Yes, yes, yes,
I love it could happened, justdo it. Oh gosh, I
need to tell myself that now,like girl, just live your life.
(28:22):

(03:08):
an artists, our hearts um.She loves science and math. I am
a daughter, I am a mother, I am a wife, I am
a sister. So I'm originally fromLiberia, West Africa. Moved to the
States when I was young, grewup in Georgia. I have three beautiful
(03:28):
children by the name of Lance,Junior, Giselle and Chadman. Husband is
a member of the US Marine Corps. UM and uh yeah, we live
here in Maryland. I have myown event planning company. Love doing the
arts, sewings and putting events together. That's so, yeah, that's me.
(03:52):
It's a little bit about me.Nice. Nice, So with your
husband being in the Marines and it'sit's crazy you mentioned that, because I
actually I have two nephews. Um, there are any Marines that swell?
Um, did you guys move alot or were you? Were you lucky
enough just to have to move acouple of times that kind of have settle
ground. So we have moved.However, those moves have been um personal.
(04:15):
So because the reserve, he chooseswhen he goes to active duty.
Nice. When we when we gotmarried, I moved to Jersey with him
because I'm order he grew up inJersey. Um, I moved to Georgia,
I mean, excuse me, toJersey, and then we moved back
to Georgia, I though I hadmy second child, Um, just because
(04:36):
I wanted to be closer to fieldand get more support. Um. Georgia.
Georgia's good. I love Georgia,but the pay is not as good
as it's knacker at all. Lookhere to Virginia, and then from Virginia,
now we're here in Maryland. Ohwow. Yeah. I have a
cousin who actually loves in Virginia.She's a teacher up there, and um,
(05:00):
and she wanted to move to Georgia. I was like, well,
how much are you making and Ithink I want to say, she's like,
a it's not a Um, Iwant to say, it's like almost
like a charter school compared to theschools like here in Georgia. And she
was like, oh, yeah,we get bonuses. I think she makes
almost like ninety thousand. I'm like, old girl, you ain't gonna get
that at all when you're coming toGeorgia. There's a lot of charter schools
(05:21):
out this way. But yeah,she's definitely not gonna make that m at
all at all. All right,So, speaking about teachers at school,
you mentioned that you do have children, So, um, what are they?
Boys and girls? Saying? Whatare their ages? So my oldest,
um, Lands is seven years old. He's in the second grade.
My daughter Giselle is five years old. Um, she is in the garten.
(05:46):
Okay. My youngest is tennth oldand he goes to school at home.
Nice. So seven five and ten, so a little bait. Well,
I want to say a little babiesbecause I know they probably have the
biggest personalities. Oh my gosh,the biggest. All right, So seven
five and ten, So with happychildren that age, what type of parenting
(06:09):
style do you think you have like, are you kind of laid back or
you know, you try to besuper strict, like, okay, you
know, respect make sure you makeup your best every morning, especially with
them being that young. I'm reallyI would really like to know how your
parents' style is. So you haveto kind of learn your your kids because
stud is different. Each child requireddifferent things. Like for example, my
(06:33):
son, I can wake up inthe morning and say, hey, get
up, is something get ready toschool, and he'll be up. He
might, you know, moan andcomplain, but he'll get up. My
daughter, on the other hand,is five four three. Okay, you
know you kind of have to putsure right, I kind of learn for
me. I have to learn eachof them and um parent them just a
(06:57):
little bit different, not so muchshowing theoritaism, but just you know,
trying to do something that will appealto them, that will make sure that
they're doing what they're supposed to do. Um, laid back, I don't.
I'm not that laid back. UM. I allow them to be expressive.
Ul Um. They know they cancome to me and my husband to
speak, you know about anything.Okay, they're very good kids. You
(07:20):
know, they're very respectful. Theyknow you know what lines to cross and
butt lines not to cross, becausewe don't around here. So yeah,
I laid back. And you know, my husband's military, so he is
in strict and and that's why Isay, that's why I ask us.
Normally, when the husband is military, the mom is kind of like,
you know, the nurturing type.All right, you know, it's okay.
(07:43):
But then again, I came acrossa couple of people who both of
them it's like now that you alreadyknow if I say or he say,
it's wrapped right. Oh yeah,absolutely, I'm never gonna go back after
um, you know, one ofus say no. However, if we
are disciplining them, I do liketo speak to them about, you know,
why they got in trouble and theconsequences and how that could affect them.
(08:05):
So I try to be you know, I try to communicate with them
so they know why, you know, what's going on and why they're getting
in trouble, even though they probablyknow right exactly even before they do it.
Like you know what, I don't. I don't know why I chose
to go ahead and through this,because this is not gonna go be as
planned exactly Awesome awesome. All right, So with being a newer mind,
(08:28):
especially having the the the gap ofwhat five years almost? Yeah? Yeah?
So how so how okay, firstof all, what's what's this plan?
Um? As far as the pregnancyand how was it going through that?
Again? Um, as far asbeing you know, five years out
of the pregnancy game, I sayso it was planned. However it was.
(08:50):
It happened a year before he wasgonna try in two thousand and nineteen,
and he came, you know,in two thousand. We got pregnant
before hand, and he came intwo and eighteen, and it's like starting
all over. So, you know, I have a five year old,
I have a seven year old,but I'm still looking online like okay,
two months old, what is hesupposed to be doing going on? And
(09:13):
why is he doing this? Soyou feel like you're starting all over even
though you're you know, because theygrow so fast. So that's why they
say cherriage every moment, don't wishthey were older, because you really do
lose that time, right right,I completely agree. So I'm not sure
if you've been following the podcast long. So me and my husband we have
(09:35):
five kids altogether. The oldest isfourteen and the youngest just turned two,
so yeah, so it's fourteen,twelve, ten, And I did too.
So I tell people when I hadRammy, like honestly, like you
said, I felt like a brandnew mom, like I also one,
having the look up stuff, andyou know, you kind of go in
and like, Okay, you know, I'm two kids in I kind of
(09:56):
already know what to do, butthings changed so drafted over the years.
You're just like, okay, likenow they have a poopy diaper, but
do I do this? And itwas it was just crazy, but he
does. I do tell people thatthey do grow up fast, like you
mentioned, and I'm like, Iwouldn't want to miss anything for the world,
especially with the youngest one. Yeah, and I feel like I kind
(10:18):
of have a little bit more timeto give him younger. You you're trying
to keep up out even though I'mstill doing a lot, you know,
still accomplishing and checking things off mylist. Now that I'm getting older,
I'm actually taking that time to spendand play with them, you know.
Yeah, yeah, because and youknow, I totally agree because my oldest
(10:41):
stort, I had her while Iwas in college. Twenty twenty one,
years old, and like you said, just trying to keep up, finished
school, you know, do everything. And with him. I had him
at thirty two, and it's abig difference just being able. Yeah,
just the planing stage and you know, making sure you're ready for everything and
also taking it in like you said, playing with them and all that.
(11:01):
And I was able to have himat home for the first year, so
that that was good too, becausethe first two babies, they were at
daycare, like right when they turnedI want to say, six weeks.
So yeah, so just being ableto have that time it does make a
bit their friends. Awesome. Awesome, all right, So we're gonna flip
the scrill. So enough about kids, We're gonna talk about relationships. So
(11:24):
how long have you and your husbandbeen married. We've been married for seven
years now, okay, nice,since high school? Long distance at that
too. Wow wow? So howokay? So being together, well,
a long distance relationship since high school? What made you guys want to say?
Okay, you know what, We'regonna go ahead and tie the knight?
(11:46):
Um? We were to get Imean, so you know we kind
of separated when we got into college. You know, I went he wanted
to do his own thing, becauseI've been with him since I was in
high school. You know when youget to college, you kind of want
to just be by yourself. Right. Well, I'm an only child,
so I've been scorned my dad andalways I was like, you know what,
(12:07):
it's time for me to do meand just depend on myself. Um.
And then, um, when wegot back together, you know,
it's just it's just clicked, youknow, we just decided to want it.
Wow. Awesome. So being togetherso longer, being married for seven
years, what type of advice wouldyou give like a newly married couple,
(12:28):
probably three years and to make surethey relationship stays healthy. Um, I
mean communication of course is keep movingbecause um, you always want to learn
your partner. You know, whenI got married, I was younger.
I was twenty three years old.Yeah, the woman that I was ben
(12:50):
I am definitely not that woman.Now I have grown and I'm able to
you know, really, I'm mature. I'm mature. I know who I
am. I know what I asopposed to before I maybe I did not.
Um, So you always want toconstantly learn your partner. You want
to communicate with them what you need, what you want to are um when
(13:11):
you're when you're going through those issues, those times where things aren't always good,
you still need to communicate with them, you know, you kind of
have to talk things through and justremember remember who that person is that you
that you you know, stayd thevows too, because they may not be
that person. You may not seethem in the moment that you're not you're
arguing or you're not agreeing on things, but the person is there at the
(13:35):
core, right right, Completely agree. Good, that's awesome advice. Completely
agree? All right. So,um, so with you being the only
child, um, I'm guessing doyou have a do your husband have a
big family? He does? Hedoes? Okay, so how was that
dynamic coming in, especially since youguys knew each other for so long.
(13:56):
Was it just like everyone you know? It was just like a bit like
their family is your family at thispoint? Well? Yeah, the thing
is, so I'm originally from Liberiaand his family is, um, you
know, he and his family's originalfrom Liberia. So his family knows my
family from back home. Oh nice, I know each other. I also
(14:18):
come from a big family as well, even though I am an only child.
So you know each other. Butit was kind of an adjustment for
me, just because you know,I left my family in Georgia as far
as my immediate family, okay,to Jersey when we first got married.
So it was an adjustment for mebecause you know, his family is great
(14:41):
and they love him and it's avery adherent, but I feel like I
wanted that support from my own familytoo, right, I tell agree,
So, um My, And thereason why I asked that because I'm not
the only child. I do havetwo older sisters, but it was all
girls. It was just my momand my sisters who grew up in the
household. But my husband, hehas a very large family, to the
(15:03):
point people are still Facebook and youknow, me to be their friends and
I'm like, who's this He waslike, oh yeah, that's like my
third cousin on such and such side. I'm like, how do you even
know them? Like what, like, did you guys you know, see
each other out of reunion you knowwhatever. So just seeing that dynamic,
huh, I said, no,I said, it's funny because it's that
way for the both of us.You know, for the requestion, he'll
(15:26):
get someone from my side and I'mlike, oh yeah, yeah. So
and again, and like I said, my family is so small, and
my sister is there now on socialmedia at all, so just you know,
seeing the dynamic and then like theylike doing the barbecues and the Bit
dinners and everything. So it wasit took a little bit of getting used
to because I wasn't used to thatat all, but I do, um
(15:50):
it grew on me. I dolike the whole Bit family, you know,
having all the cousins and you know, taking pictures of like all fifteen
grand babies and things like that,so I think it's cool. Yeah,
So yeah, my family is thedynamic is the same. Okay. I
was the only child, so mymy father is like one of I don't
know how many. My mom islike one of twelve, even though most
(16:14):
of her family is still in Liberia, but most of my dad, well
a lot of my dad family ishere. So I am used to that
family dynamic. I had cousins inthe house growing up with me, so
we had the same upbringing basically.Okay. Also, so when it was
the last time you I'm bus atLiberia, The last time I went was
in two thousand and seven. SoI graduated high school two thousand and seven.
(16:40):
Yep, And I went to collegeone semester, took a break and
I went to Liberia and I hadthe time of my life. Like,
so I need to plan another tripto go back. I know, I
can only imagine. I has tobe beautiful there. Yes, it was.
So people ask me, you know, how did it feel going back?
(17:00):
And I always use this technology,so you know, when you go
on vacation, say you're going toJamaica, somewhere troubable, huh, have
a good time. You're not reallythinking about home, but as soon as
you come home, you're like,oh, you know, you kind of
miss it. You miss it homeYou're like, hu, my house,
I miss you so kind of that'skind of how it felt when I stepped
off the plane. It's like,hume, you know that's that's the way
(17:25):
that I can think to explain it. Oh gosh, I can't. Yeah,
I understand exactly what you're saying.That is that's crazy. But so
when you go try when you planningto go back this time around, are
you going to take the kids?We would love to, Yeah, absolutely.
We both still have family, alot of family back there, so
(17:48):
yeah, we would love, definitelylove to take the kids and you know
we planning on retiring one day backin like Aria. Oh yeah, that's
yeah, that'd be amazing. Ineed to do my little what's the DNA,
Tessa. I need to find outwhere I'm actually from? Um?
I think I'm a yeah, doit soon. Um doing the African ancestry
if you do, If you dothat, just because it wants to a
(18:11):
country and tribe, Okay, Iwant to tell you because I I did
mine. I did the twenty threein need uh huh. I told you
the different countries, but it doesn'ttell you your tribe and things like that.
I think the African Ancestry would bemore specific into you know, what
is that that place and in whattribal um, you know, influence you
(18:32):
have from Okay Okay, yeah,I read it. I wrote it down,
so yeah, I'm definitely gonna dothat that one. All right.
So switching gears for one last time, So let's talk about business. So
you mentioned you have an event planningservice. Um, when when did you
establish that? And Um, firstof all, what's the name of it?
When did you establish it? Andwhat type of services do you give?
(18:52):
So the name is Elite Pedals events. I wanted to do rose Pedal,
but the name was taken Pedals Eventand it was established in twenty fifteen.
Okay, nice, I was doingevent planning beforehand, but it just
wasn't a an established business. Iit became established in twenty and fifteen.
(19:14):
So we do um full event planningand design and coordinating plannings to birthday parties
to small intimate events. Nice.So it's event planning. Your passion?
Is that's something that you always kindof find yourself being into. Yes,
um, I love it, youknow. I just love the art the
(19:37):
making people happy, you know,getting the ideas in their head and making
it into reality. You know whensomeone tells me like, hey, I
want to have a party and Iwant to have this theme, Like I'm
immediately like looking up ideas, wehave things that we can do, thinking
of ways we can step outside thebox. So yeah, that is my
passion. Oh wow. So withthe event planning, once you do book
(20:00):
event, do you contract people outto actually assist you with throwing the event
or is it or do you havea team that is already in house or
are your one woman show? SoI am a team, um, but
I do contract out so I can'tdo everything myself, and I like,
for example, I did a weddingthis UM this January. You know,
(20:22):
she didn't really want to pay formy team, so I did do it
by myself, and I was myself. I would never do that again.
It is crazy. It's a lotof work to try to do it for
yourself. You have a team UMthat has come on board, but we
do contract that out for different thingsthat we may not be able to do,
you know, like maybe UM likeyour your back jobs and things like
(20:47):
that. So yeah, we docontract for contract out for different vendors.
Okay, awesome, awesome, Sois there anything else in the works for
Elite Pedal events? Is there somethingthat you can forward to release in like
in twenty twenty. We are opento um slide I try to do because
just because I'm not fully committed toit one yet, I'm still working in
(21:11):
a field, okay, you knowat home HUM I try to open up
at least five spots, five tosix spots for brides a year, so
we are open, you know,if anyone's looking for an event planner and
we do travel. Okay, that'sgonna be my next question. I'm like
wait, hold on, I mightknow some people. A matter of fact,
most of the weddings that I've donehas been in Georgia. I saw
(21:33):
nice summer. I was in Georgiaat least four times. Oh my gosh,
okay, in the summer in theheat, a matter of fact,
because I had, you know,things and supplies that I had to bring
down with me. Huh, ohmy gosh. And yeah, I just
I'm just thinking summer heat, tryingto plan a wed and it has to
I would think it would just becrucial. But you know, if it's
(21:56):
something you love, you don't eventhink about it, like exactly exactly.
So you mentioned that it wasn't fullycommitted to the event planning service, So
what so what does your other half? What what do you do? I
guess is it a nine to fiveor what's the other position you have?
Yeah, so I do haven't onthe five. I work um with the
(22:17):
federal government as as a administrator.Okay, you know it's the business as
far as event planning is not stable, right right. You may have events
here and then you may not haven'tevent another month. So and I still
have mouths to feed. It's nota full time gig that I have right
now. But that was, youknow, an amazing dream for me to
(22:38):
be, you know, doing thatfull time right right. I don't understand
like when you're working like in people'sservices like that, like you've been planning,
like you mentioned, it's you know, you have your highs. You
can make a lot of money,and then once it stops for a second,
it stops. So you have toget that consistency going where you say,
(22:59):
okay, you know, I kindof let this this other job go
since I see the Moneys following constantly. Exactly awesome, awesome, all right,
So we buy and wrap up theshow. So at the end of
each episode, we play this littlegame called the hot Seat, which is
five random questions that I get toask you and get your opinion on.
Do you want to play? Absolutelyawesome? All right? So question number
(23:22):
one? Excuse me, if youwant one million dollars, what would be
the first thing you would buy?M that I will buy after I pay
off my death? Look, yeah, so being responsible, what would you
buy? Oh? What would Ibuy? Um? Probably some poverty not
(23:45):
a house. I mean, ofcourse I would love to get a house
too, but probably of property.Um to invest in a business, maybe
my event business. Okay, awesome, Yeah, that's all I would do
too. I will probably well,if I wanted to be super emmerar and
ratchet, I'll probably buy like aBentley or something. But with my money,
if I was, I would definitelyhuh wagon exactly, you know,
(24:10):
go ahead and get the dream car. But if I'm being responsible to parent
everything, I would definitely invest probablya lot of it, and um and
also buy some property too. Awesomeall right, So question number two,
name three things you love about yourself? Um. I love that I am
creative. I love that um,I love to cook. I love that
(24:34):
I am just free with myself.In regards to how I dress a dress
for me, everyone always he all, you're always dressed up. But it
makes me happy. It's how Iexpressed myself. M nice, nice you
dress up? Are you doing likethe whole four? Dress up in heels,
have your bag everything? Yes,I am five two, so I
(24:56):
call it short girl syndrome. Ilike to wear heels. But what wait,
but see with you being that size, I'm summing you have small feet,
so you probably have like the cuteas shoes. I do have small
fee I wear you know, maybesix and a half to seven a half
depending on the cut of the shoes. So yeah, okay, see,
(25:18):
and look, I'm on the totallyopposite end. I'm five ten and a
half and I wear a size tenand a half eleven. So if I
find right, So, if Ifind a really cute shoe, I go
hand and grab it. But Ikeep shoes like forever because it's so hard
to find a really nice shoe inmy foot side. But yeah, yeah,
I was like, I wish Iwas at least like five two get
(25:40):
five two five three, I'll beokay. It says five two and a
half. So sometimes I tell peopleon five three, so that half inch
counts. I tell people that allthe time. It counts, all right.
So question number three, All right, if you were being robbed and
could get out of it by rappingor singing one song perfectly, what song
(26:03):
would it be? Oh, that'sa good question. Anything Beyonce? Okay,
alright, Queen be in the house? Okay, cool, alright.
Question number four, what is thelast book you read? Um? The
last book that I read? Um? You? Actually, I have it
(26:27):
right here. It's called you badass, Stop doubting yourself. You know what
I think I have that book?Is it a yellow yep? He yes,
yes, amazing book. I loveit. How to stop doubting your
greatness and start living in awesome life. Yes, yes, okay, good
(26:48):
book. Yeah, I concur onthat great book all right, last question,
start reading it. It took mea while to finish the book because
it was like a hard started forme. I don't know, it was.
It was kind of weird, butI got through it. I liked
it though, yeah yeah, yeah. Once she it was a little bit
hard for me too, but onceshe kind of gets to the middle part,
(27:11):
it kind of gets easier. ButI have started yet. Um.
I told myself for the last quarterof this year, going to next year,
I'm gonna start picking books that Iwould never pick up. So like
one right now I just started readingand actually my daughter picked it out for
me. Something about artificial intelligence andhow it's going to affect us in the
year twenty thirty. Crazy, exactly, super crazy. I have no idea.
(27:36):
It's I don't know, it's weirdkinda and Facebook and social media.
So I got through like chapter one, and this is like a struggle.
But I'm committed because I wanted atleast kind of brought in my horizons for
us with books. So I'll letyou're here about it. I'll let you
know how I got all right,last question, if you can go back,
(28:00):
what would you tell your twenty oneyear old self? One thing,
Oh my gosh, I would tellhers to not be afraid and take those
risks, because yes, one lifeto live. Yes, yes, yes,
I love it could happened, justdo it. Oh gosh, I

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
