Speaker 8 (03:41):
How are you.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
I'm good, I'm good. How are you?

Speaker 8 (03:45):
I'm great? Oh my god?

Speaker 4 (03:47):
What well from the top, how's it going today? How's
your day going?

Speaker 8 (03:53):
Well, it's been really good. I mean, I mean, this
is another at that I forget used to, you know,
because it's not all recordings that you have to like
get used to have the hosts. But this is something
new for me, like having to call in so and
it's quite interesting to you. So that's that's pretty cool.

(04:16):
All right.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
So merciland before we talk about your book and your
creative journey, what's been on your heart and mind lately?

Speaker 8 (04:29):
Well, my goals here a part from writing and freeting
my books. I just try to make sure that I've
balance my my everything I do is balanced, not overworks
and stuff like that. I try to meet all the criteria.
So this happens on my mind. How I'm gonna be

(04:50):
able to meet all that goals? Like pray for people.
I did a lot of pray. I just cheap, you know,
keep it on my mind, and I mean just something
success in my book, it's very important to do a
sense I carry every day on my mind. But I
don't let it stress me out, you.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Know, absolutely, I'm sure a lot of comes with that,
you know, and this is your debut.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
So are you feeling any pressure?

Speaker 8 (05:21):
Yeah? I am in certain areas sometimes you feel like
you're not getting the support you need and then you're
isn't in too much efforts into into the works instead
of like relaxing. So that again is it's something I
have to walk through. But on the other hand, it

(05:44):
is something that I have to do with that life
because it's my book. But I'm just trying to to
let you pressure me like you know, I mean, you're
you're in the industry as well, you I mean, how
do you cope? It shows like your musician your musician, right, I.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Used to be I transition to radio in the industry.
Now I manage careers. I'm a marketer, promoter, things of
that nature. And there are pressures. There are pressures to succeed,
you know, to be oh, bless you go, bless you.
There are pressures to seceed, to be successful, you know,

(06:29):
to to keep paying the bills, right.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
And the way that I deal with it is just
keep going.

Speaker 8 (06:38):
You know.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Not everything is successful. Not every answer is a yes.
And sometimes desperation kicks in because you know, I have
to pay a bills our children, Yeah, our children need something.
So that's really my driving force to give it all

(06:59):
I got. So at the end of the day, I
can say I did everything I could to make it happen.
And you know, what's meant to be is meant to be,
and what God wills God wills what's not in his will,
he won't do it.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
So I just don't fight that anymore.

Speaker 8 (07:15):
Yeah. So, I mean that's regardless though sometimes for my
thing that we're not fighting, but there are certain things
that would just be under control that even though we
feel that we're not fighting, but we're actually fighting. There
are just certain things that you just have in bed
that you just have questions about. And those things that

(07:39):
you have questions about, ye a kind of like you're
in the middle of somewhere you don't even know what
it's cans, but these things occur to people. I mean,
you can like run away from it, but where you
are able to get to that point where you actually
give it to God and let's got to control. Please

(07:59):
be thicky five. Like some people ask questions and some
of questions, like you said, which like you rightly said
that some even if she doesn't have an answer, but
still but actually everything does have an answer. That's my perspective,
because there's nothing that God's designed that I shouldn't have

(08:22):
an answer at all. Everything should have an answer. So
so those are the events where I want to be
able to feed in and I kind of off from
my perspective on what God is saying about certain situations.
And just like I would just call it prophetic, I

(08:44):
would call it like what of wisdom? And just see
certain things and and just just the mind of what
I feel God is saying about that situation. Yeah, and
some people have been able to say that it's the
you know, absolutely correct, and things like happen very fastsome.
But I just know that some pole I've been on

(09:06):
the block for so long and it just happens like
it just keeps going non stuff mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah. So for our.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Listeners who are who wants to be writers and authors,
how do you deal with the pressure and how do
you get over yourself to get your product out?

Speaker 8 (09:34):
Oh? So for me, so if for anyone who wants
to be a writer, first of all, I know that
you have to start are your materials. I'm not saying
in terms of nonfiction because they're various kind of writing,
so the nonfictions they have to go do respect on
all of that. But for you who is a fiction writer,

(09:55):
like for me, I would normally get all of my storyline.
Some people start with the storyline and give it the headings,
give it the title. I usually get my title first,
and then I started getting around my title because the
title helps me to be pinpoints where my floods are,
my things are going to be. And for me, uh,

(10:18):
I wrote a blog that blog is on it's on
my page, my outer stage and a good read and
saying that the creatic side of it that I don't
yet know. That's what I tried to it to be.
So I just kind of gave it, give it, son
of how goo good by writing. Some people it comes

(10:40):
like a little in little bits, like just little phrases
like that when you book that down. So this is
how I create I started, and but for me sometimes
it was really slowly, like it just comes and the
story building and just going and I already know the

(11:01):
Russian where it's going. But for start us, I think
that getting an idea won't be stop. Some people get stuck,
but that's okay. You can always do it on that.
You can always get any matures as it comes. Some
to get one day sleeping, some money, are sitting down,
an idea comes, they're traveling stud The best is just
to write it down. Every thought that comes, write it

(11:21):
down and get into the pressure. The pressure will be
really missing the deadline because when I finish my finished
writing this book that I just start released in twenty sixteen,
but I kept going back to it just to look
at it again and again and again. But in any case,

(11:44):
when I was really down to getting this book out,
the heat challenge because I had harding to my computer,
which is another way I want to tell patients. If
you have anything that you you you want to write,
the best is not to keep it on your computer.
Who can hack in. Anything can happen and your story
is gone, or if you see the book being selling

(12:08):
your story and releasing them. So my challenges had to
deal with that like hacking into my computer. And then
I eventually during the editing stage, who was really tough
to because from the t one that I obtained, the
publishers they could only defied chatters. So I left it

(12:31):
like thirteen chatters to work on myself and I'm getting
that over and when the book came out, there was
there were other pressures as well I had to deal
with I'm still dealing with. So for me, I would
say that it just do the best that you can
the writer, and you for have the goal of getting
too writing it's pretty interesting, so there's no scall part

(12:55):
about it. It's a brief fun thing to do. Ah,
but getting your work into the right hands is very
important as well. So when you're when you feel that
you've already compared your work. And of course this costs
money too, so that's another pressure, the money to go

(13:18):
about this one. That's another thing. I don't know that
answer your question?

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah you did? You did?

Speaker 8 (13:30):
So?

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
How do you or how would you describe the deeper
mission or purpose behind your storyteller?

Speaker 8 (13:44):
Did you say a deeper purpose or meanings? I didn't
hear that questions correctly.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Sorry, I'll set it again.

Speaker 8 (13:54):
Did you say a deeper a deeper purpose, purpose meanings?
I didn't hear that question correctly, properly.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Sorry, Okay, sorry, I said, how would you describe the
deeper mission?

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Your mission or your purpose? Behind your storyteller.

Speaker 8 (14:18):
The first of all, apart from having the passion for writing,
always had this passion from when I was a teenager,
and then and having my teacher having me give me
that kick to start because I just thought I was
writing notphins like when I write my journals. I just said, oh,

(14:41):
this one, I'm gonna laugh at me, you know. And
then I had my school teacher pushed me when she
read my assignment. She really encouraged me, said you'll write it.
And of course I knew that I'm a writer, but
I just what scared to even let anyone see. But

(15:03):
so apart from that getting that initial push and studying
my writing journey and keep writing and writing. So my
my mission is to be able to reach someone. So
some people just want to write. I have a direction
from my writing. Every single writing I have. I want
to relay a message to someone. First of all, I

(15:28):
look at the society that I always talk about in
society first because there's just so many things happening. So
I try to have my story around what's what's the
next thing that's going on in the society or the
next thing that's happening, or what's going on that they're
affecting a lot of people because in stigma, because in

(15:51):
a dysfunctionality, or all kinds of stuff that's going on.
So these were the things that I had because I
want writes about lost stories and all that. I also
want to make it a realistic pains not taking it
just been very realistic about life in general. But by

(16:11):
making the characters as ordinary as possible who they are.
There's no potentials about it. Uh, millennaires, not every millennaire
has to be has to have a chauffeur, or has
to like every media in whatever divie or whatever everything
will mean. You know, people have to plant have to

(16:32):
be ordinary. People have to be who they are. The
sleep and we talk like everybody else. It's health and
distance like everybody else. So person that same line was
very important for me as well, with that this was
glass story that I wrote, or if the main mission
was to which out having voice in publicople to have
their own voice, really encourage people, motivates, be an inspiration

(16:59):
in any way that I can. And I also felt
like some of the things that I wrote had the
prominence like they were prophetics. Like I initially said that
for me, I feel that I'm not going to say
that I'm on profit that I can see that I
have the I have the water wisdom, and I feel
that someone the things that got this to me about reality,

(17:21):
things that are happening about people, and some of these
things people I've actually said that, yeah, it's correct and
stuff like that. And this has been going on in
my life for so long, so it's kind of like
something that's drown on me that I wasn't prepared for.
But it's part of me that I cannot separate. It
just comes naturally. Even when I don't want to say
something I say, people come back to it's true, this

(17:44):
thing has happened. This thing has happened. Just water pronouncing
that I'll say, and they say, oh, you made this
comment reality and it's coming fast and stuff like that.
So I've had people from when I was like not
even as going as now. So that's an area too
that I'm also over also try to be guarded about,

(18:07):
but I'm also trying to incorporate into things that I do.
Try to use it as an encouragement. I was supposed
to someone going out there and God said, like a prophet,
give me money and stuff like that. So that's not yeah,
because a lot of the food I only call you
to say, you have to doing it, you have to

(18:27):
do this for good for them. For someone to tell
you what God is saying about you, that's not my
idea of how God speaks. And I believe that God
is very compassionate God, and he will tell you what
he has to live and he don't have to pay
for it, and every single one of coursely I'll have
the ability to have the foresight and the world of
knowledge and to be able to speak to come to

(18:49):
excuse me to come to pass. So explaining people is
not my idea of Christianity or being someone who's views
by God and others. I try to try to release
to ast as much as possible, try to try to

(19:10):
be encouraged in that aspect, but also proposing that into
my books some of the things that I wrote, I
would say that we're also in that line the word
world of wisdom that I hope someone will be able
to channel into their lives and see it coming to
pass in fruition, and which is why I encourage people

(19:31):
to buy my book as well. Just like kind of
Kids on those those uh, the storyline and some of
the words that I said, some of the a pronouncements,
some of the words that I used in my books
are kind of come like quotations but are not really not.
But so I would say those prophetic audiences as well.

(19:55):
So that's my I would say that that's my missions
this book.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
All right, So take us back.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
When did you first realize that writing was more than
just journaling for you, but something you were called to do?

Speaker 8 (20:16):
Oh? So, I think as I started writing, I just
knew that I couldn't stop writing in my journal. The
stories kept coping in some I eventually when I had
the confidence when I finished high school, I gave some
of the influence my uh, it's you leader in the church,

(20:41):
and some they did acts of stage kind of like
drama group and stuff. And then there was this time
that I had wrote a story as well that was
published need to Latin as well, and I had a
couple of pears come to tell me, my God, you
wrote the story emotional, you know, just encouraging, just like

(21:03):
my school teacher did. So from then onwards, I knew
that this writing was not just me writing, because if
it's touching people like that, it meant that God wanted
wanted me to be able to use other tool to
reaching the other people as well. And some of these

(21:23):
storylines were just so there. There were toylines that I
couldn't even believe that I am writing the story. When
I'm done, I'm like, how did I write? This story?
Is also powerful even to me someone, I feel the
impact myself writing it and reading it. So when I
realized that part and how much effect you had on me,

(21:46):
I knew that I had to make this a career.
But I come from a home where my parents' education
is very important. They don't believe you can do. Want
to sing the only rights I want to do because
I wanted to sing as well. I'm a songwriter and

(22:09):
I was singing in my church and I had an
a capella group. I was traveling with the leader of
the group. I was really young, but I was struggling
with them see different places to sing and all of that. So,
but my parents won't let me go because I always

(22:33):
have to take permission for my parents. But whatever you
want to do. I wrote songs, I was startying, I
started a demo, I started production, I had a producer.
I had my songs in demo, but my dad just said, look,
whatever you do when you guys go to school, but
I had to put back outside. I went to school

(22:53):
and then going to school, and then, as you know,
you have to meet other aspects of life. Has a relationship,
was married as well, and then uh and has a
so after then it just felt it just felt like
my entire christility was dead because the guy I was

(23:18):
married to was not encouraging at all. He didn't understand
the aspect of me. But there was the access that
was just popping out. It just can be teamed, you know.
Uh what. The real relationship didn't work out eventually, and
so as soon as I that relationship was don't it
felt like I was letting out of a cake. That's

(23:39):
so sorry to be rude. I just felt like I
was let out of a cage. My creative side was
just popping up. It was gonna be bossed. I didn't
utilize it. You know, like, you just have so much posity.
If you don't tap into this is you're gonna expose.
It's just someone that needs to come out from you.

(24:00):
That's how I felt, you know, and that's how I
just knew that I had here. So I just started
writing again. And and that's how I started creating these
things and and within the dispensort, I've already written a
lot of poems and all got stories that like, uh

(24:22):
fiction so far wasn't quite a number I haven't published
on the unpublished for the moment. So I mean it
just it's like all these years of being held captive
in your body and you just come out and this
girl coming out like all our ones like boom boom,
boom boom. That's how I would tell my stories. And

(24:43):
that's so that's how I knew that I was going
to regardless of what it is, I have to fulfill
this destiny. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Absolutely, So your book, your first book X Raise a
Little Hope, Yeah, carries things of faith, romance and life struggles.
How did the how did the idea for this story
first spark? And what life experience has shaped it?

Speaker 8 (25:20):
So, like I said, initially, it's about the society, more
about more it's more about the society than about me.
Oh so when I, like I said, I always have
my title first, but some people always have their title last.

(25:42):
I've never had that experience. I don't know how to
do it because then you work and have a title.
I can never create that way. I always have a
title and that build it around the title. So when
I started this experiense of little homes. When I was building,
like I said, I listened to the society. The team
came a series of little hooks and I just thought that, Oh,

(26:03):
if I can just build stories, little stories around people
and how this were it's able to relate with each other,
that would be a great start. But what how would
I do. I am not going to say a religious
book or a love story. I really want to write
about a love story. I read a lot of mills
and bones when I was growing up. I remember when

(26:24):
I was younger, my dad was like Son of the Lights,
and I'm like, oh, thank you, okay, And then when
he's gone up, like my cover over my head and
I'm probably touch life, I'll be reading. That's how much
I would read anything on that this kind of I
read all the stories in the library, so things like
that I was. I just knew that I wanted to

(26:45):
read and I want to write as well, but not
at that time not I mean, I didn't actually know
exactly where I was going to but I was more
like writing something like that has a little bit of
religious background to it, but I just didn't want to
like hardcore religious books. But I actually want to write
about nments. So how do I incorporate the two together

(27:07):
and how the day work the society as standards, you
have to like code verses and talk about I have
to alt to talk about. I was called about the
Bible and God in that strict sense, So how do
we incorporate all this into my writing? So I had

(27:27):
to create that balance way it would come as a
Christian book as well as a Roman's. But everything that
I had to be like when it comes to mature
parts of the book, mature areas where people have to
do what they have to do. I had to make
sure it happens when it within a marriage, not outside
of it, and just a little bit like outside of marriage,

(27:49):
and just to know that it's okay. Some people are
just to I know that I would have to be
holy and stuff like that. But as I think it's
things is okay, like when you hold someone and stuff
like that, but some some priscient I believe you can't
do any of them. So how do I start that
balance for this book to resonate with both Christians and

(28:13):
non Christians. So I had to find that common ground
because that was one thing that I needed when going
into this writing. And then first, you know, I had
to talk about things that happen in society. Some of
the storylines, some of these stories are very pathful to
the persons telling the story. So and I also kind

(28:36):
of wanted to create a venue where people just feel
that it's all about them. You know, people need the community,
people need people in their corner. So let's say, for example,
you're going through not you, anybody is going through anything,
and then yes, just so confuse about it. Like I

(28:58):
said before, they don't know the way for it, stuck
in the middle. I mean just telling someone steps of money,
someone what I want to went through, being able to
shade as impactly to other people or as something that
they went through as well. Sometimes it doesn't relate to
what the person is currently going through. That thing comes

(29:19):
as a as a kids to that person going through
whatever they're going through, so that heastic to be able
to take that thing that someone has told you and
incorporated into what you're going through. It's something I wanted
to create. So I wanted to see it as hope.
In other words, you're relying on hope. It felt looking

(29:40):
into other people's the experiences and challenging to your own
experience and having that hope that things are godn't churn around.
So that was why I had that title. A series
of little hopes and bringing these different stories to get
to come into one full blown story, one fold little
conclusion of one person under one person, the character I mean,

(30:04):
the protagonist of this story, which is then prudential, and
she had to meet it all this by different times
and then her on life hated to involved, to evolved
and to involve and then evolved in and then eventually
she was hopefully was able to get her ultimate happiness

(30:25):
or goal whatever that was. But none of my own
personal life would I would say, was primarily the reason
for writing this book. I mean, I had my own
struggles as well. I've been through very I've been through
relationship that didn't work out as well. But my story,

(30:51):
I would say temperatent of my storyline might have influenced
the story. More. History has more of society experience because
everybody has gone through trafficking, everybody has gone through there's
been so many things. The book is about that. Another
tous country that resonates with then.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Indeed? Wow? All right, so.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
You've said your works often speak prophetically. Can you give
us an example of how your writing has even surprised
you with the message.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
With other people? You mean with me?

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yeah, with yourself? In your writing? What has surprised you
about your own work?

Speaker 8 (31:49):
I don't think I understand the question. Are you trying
to say what I wrote has? I don't understand it? Sorry,
how it's impacted me?

Speaker 4 (32:01):
All right? Let me rephrase it.

Speaker 8 (32:04):
Okay, So.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Have you been surprised by any of the prophetic messages
that comes from your writing?

Speaker 8 (32:19):
I mean in terms of this book right now, in
terms of this book, or just in general, in all
of my writings.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Well, let's do all of your writing. Yeah, not just
the book, this current book. But has anything that you
wrote surprised you?

Speaker 8 (32:43):
To me? It's no more about me, because it's more
about the people who is listening to you, though, who
has been impactful. I can pick plenty a couple of
times what it will look like, since I wasn't specially
contacted or toold, but I see, I hear it happened.
I need to tell that, well, this, this is something
I've written about in my book. I didn't know. There's

(33:06):
the book I have actually written that hasn't even I
haven't even published. But I've already written the book, but
I mean written the story, but the I've already had
this thing happen in the society, Like I haven't even
even published the book yet. I'm like, oh my god,

(33:26):
this is like my story. And I've had a couple
of things happened, and this is like my story. It's
kind of something about my story. And then there's my
my nephew getting married today. Actually he listened to and
he told me, sent me a message he wanted me
to be at his wedding, and he told me who

(33:48):
he was getting married to and I and it gave
me her name and all of that. I'm like, well,
it kind of pasted, posted a pictures and all on
on Facebook and all of that, like when you go
and signing a kind of our recipe and all of
that too. I'm like, oh my god, this uh, this
story is just like one of the characters on the

(34:10):
name and everything, and it's just like very coincidental. How
did this won't happen? And I never mentioned And I mean,
I don't believe I wrote my story a long time ago,
and I sent him a message. I said, this is
so prophetic, you know. I just kind of referred the
chapter to him. I said, look at this chapter that

(34:30):
I wrote. I never ever thought that we won't met
you realize or anything. I never any safety and it's
just like right there in front of me. Those things
like that. And then there's a couple other things that
I can't really say because people are not gonna call you.

(34:52):
I don't pret as anywhere people care actually contact me
or things like that because I'm not like pastor prophetic whatever.
But my goals for visits to read the book and
get inspired in their own way. Oh it's just to
say that got in the batterroom my book. That would
be good too. But if they don't, that's also good.
But miss and my girl has been achieved. I don't

(35:12):
need anybody to excuse me. I don't need anybody to
do like, go get your mind to announce that my
books do inside of my book, what happened. What's important
is giving God the.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Glory absolutely, absolutely right? All right, So.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Nature plays a big that's okay. Nature plays a big
role in your poetry and artistry. What is it about
the nature world that fused your creativity.

Speaker 8 (35:55):
Oh my god, oh what I would say. Number one
the one writing where my currents actually relations with my
poetry because my parents though written in a way that
it's just like it's like it's nudge that, not like
from the beginning to the end. It's just because you

(36:15):
can put me on the spot to write a poet
and I'll give you one hundred on that. So I
look at the nature and I'm an assist here. As
you're probably know, I draw a pink and a lot
of my scenes that I paint a major are mainly
a license, not like I don't do. I'm not a

(36:40):
visual artist, but I'm learning. I'm trying to learn how
to be. But most of my paintings are imaginations, and
I draw like landscapes, not just landcable buildings and all
houses and nature, flowers and stuff like a real house.
Everybody told me like my paints are like a three D.

(37:01):
It's like it's happening in lives. And everybody has seen
my painting told me the same exact thing. This is
like a three D, like it's right here, like that
thing is lives. So that is me having that nature. Uh,
the nature, I say, the nudge for nature. So so

(37:26):
my poetry I write about the society as well, not
just about nature. I write about I write about There's
just so many things I write about, written about about
what's going on in the society, what's playing people. There's
uh that's one story that I wrote, or let me

(37:50):
accessory poem. I'm branded. Uh so it's like branded on branded.
So instead of saying branded, you forget added for something.
How do we come? How do we flip it? That
was I try to flip it? That was what about
I was with me point the point the Acts of God.

(38:14):
That's about nature. There's just so many there's weight loss,
There's a bunch of points that I've written. There's versatility,
that's about women women. I wrote a man about a man,
the man. There's just a bunch of points that are

(38:34):
written that's not just about nature itself, about humanity, people,
how man came into resist and what woman stands for
in the society. I wrote this from to a long
time ago, and then uh, I'm branded too. I kind
of like go into all of these stories. But but

(38:56):
in the in the Act of God, I try to
really see before nature parts of nature in that one,
and that's how before I'm affected by it. And then
there's just so many Like I ventured, I wrote that
that's uh that life about nature as well human nature

(39:16):
about in them. And then I also, it's just a
buncholy I can be in to talk about right now. Remember,
but these are very impassive stories. They are very impactful,
and then they talk about just like my book has
trays a little who. They are very inspiring too. So

(39:42):
Affects of Nature is just admiring nature, uh, in every aspect.
In other words, what we find who we are in nature.
There's one that I woulte that's uh, let me be like,

(40:02):
let me be that poem is just very hot sarcastic route.
I'm telling you, Yeah, I proposal made that way because
let me let's let me breathe, Let me breathe is

(40:22):
just about nature, is just about humanity, exploitations and so
many things. I mean, like I said, if I have
to talk about all the poems that I've written, I'll
be talking about every single aspect of how this thing
is impassive to nature. And don't be giving out too
many about my book. I just don't want to delvingty wards.

(40:46):
But yeah, that's that's true. I mean, that's what it
is like nature, humanity, everything about humanity is all in my.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Point, absolutely, I don't want to she's something particular about
the book. What part of Prue's journey do you think
will connect the most with readers.

Speaker 8 (41:11):
I don't begin to. I feel that every aspect of
first journey will connect with all readers because everything that
points that Prue went through has affected I've lived. Let
me just this Americans for example, or anybody around the world.
Everybody has experienced one of it. Everybody has everything she

(41:35):
went through, like destuation for example. People want to get
to get into relationship, get very desperate to get into
relationships because they feel there's less on the shells and
they feel some feel that oh time is fastening or
one is mind going to happen. Like I said, Elias,
just's no matter how people just want to say, oh

(41:58):
I just go by, go by this floor. There's just
something that's out there that people would always have some
question about, Like I have questions about this, had to
deal with this, had to deal with this, when is
it good? No matter how calm you are, there's just
that point that you have to get to a lot
of people have come to that point. I think most

(42:20):
everybody on this earth has come to that point. And
then we prove you want how happy for She wanted
to get married married, and and then she just didn't
care as long as someone came, because nobody was asking her. Ah,
but she so wanted to get married. And when the

(42:42):
guy came, she threw all conscience into the all caussions
into the air. She treated, you know. And then even
when all the red signs were telling her that this
was wrong with people, these people to tell her, she
just didn't want to listen. And I say, I say,
I'm guilty of that. I've had situations in my own

(43:04):
that's not like what have told me this is it?
And they told me this isn't this is Look take
a look at this. It's not like I don't want
to listen to advis that. At that point, probably my
mind said I wasn't preped for it. And I also
thrown cushion into the wind. And then at the end

(43:27):
of the day it comes to bite me. Or there
are certain things that I have tried, pushed and pushed,
and I kept asking God and there's not And when
he gives me the answer is not exactly what I wanted,
but he gives me the insight to say, oh my god,
but I know this was what you were trying to
prevent me from and now you give me the answer,
and this is it some of how I've gotten to

(43:48):
that point. So for prove her life what she wanted
every from from some but whether boy what I'm sorry,
whether I'm male or female, they're wanted to be married,
and some have married the wrong person and they divorced.
Some have gone through the abuse and whatever I said

(44:08):
that she went through. Without having to give out too
much of my storyline. She got released not because of
her fault. She she didn't do nothing. According to her,
she didn't do nothing, but she was eventually released. But
at the end of the day, just for one or
two Steerss to have come out to testified, so they

(44:31):
were prisoned, and justly they spent so many years in jail.
It happened to a lot of people. The people have
been fortually accused but doing nothing wrong. Because she couldn't
want to listen and everything that she went through, Snipe
have hit rog button. I would say, I would say
that a lot of people have hit more rock bottom

(44:52):
than any more rock bottom than anything, because ah, its
material thing is the something that that's very wild in
this world, and it draws a lot of people. Everybody's
so many everything is so many ties and materialized and
they just don't want to understand. So a lot of

(45:14):
people have been disappointed, deceived so many things. That who
went through was definitely resonated to a lot of people,
that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
That is for sure. All right, all right, I love it,
all right.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
So if someone picks up X ray of Little Hopes
during a difficult season in their life, what do you
hope they walk away with believing or filling out they
having read your book?

Speaker 8 (45:50):
Well, I want to hope that when someone who subs
gooods that they will get inspired and feel that this
happen to push from something fund answer see what she
was going through, that they would too be able to
find a nature. That's my goal one people to feel

(46:12):
inspired and want people to be encouraged speak up for
themselves and not just to wait until the last name
be able to speak off. That's my goal. Encouraged to
speak of for themselves, be a voice for themselves, be
able to advocate for themselves in difficult times and also

(46:39):
be able to have confidence, have hope, view that confidence
no matter what anybody's telling them. They shouldn't believe any
like anybody is telling them. They should believe in who
they are, believe in themselves, be as honorary as they
can be, be as natural as they can be themselves,

(46:59):
in authentic self, not just in anybody's theatric or life.
I think that that's what I want everybody to walk
away from, h walk away with hope, instituation, motivation. I mean,

(47:24):
every situation that they find out, there's no way they're
going to end up. They're gonna have to fight back
and get out. And I specically I wrote the story
about like I don't know, someone in the book was
mooved or had to fight something someone in the book,

(47:44):
and uh, I think that people who got the books
with that which has the encouragement to be able to
fight back in certain situations. I just accepted, like that's
uh the ultimates of what it is that I should be.
But I think it's that should be more more important

(48:08):
than being who they are, bull themselves to believe and
having say trust regardless of who they are, because I
think believing in oneself is more important than anything else,
because people will tell you. People will tell a lot
of people with different things. I just sits leave them
make them feel inadequate. Although when you tell yourself, what

(48:33):
you tell yourself is very important and everything that anybody.

Speaker 3 (48:40):

a copy of your book and stay up to date
