00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 ballroom gown like you because you know
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24 first of all Genesis is shaped like me
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27 so you know we women with curves but
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 she's always very classy and she had
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31 them legs but you wore that nice
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 beautiful ballroom gown and you was
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35 walking and they were shaking hands and
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37 from one covering to another and you
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39 guys did it I guess I always say I did
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41 it right like we just didn't shack up we
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43 moved in together you walk to your own
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46 brand new house come on tell us it was
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50 yeah so I come from a very traditional
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52 household um you know when you talk
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53 about moving from one covering to
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57 another um my f so just take take a step
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59 of how traditional it was so I lived
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02 with my parents until I was married um
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05 my parents have done very well for me
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07 I'm I've been God is so good very
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10 blessed um and so their whole thing was
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13 you know you enjoy your life explore
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15 build businesses do whatever you desire
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16 and then when you're married you
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19 transfer to another household and so it
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20 was important that there was someone
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23 that understood that traditional and and
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26 wanted a woman of that not to say that
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27 that is the only way but that that's
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31 just where I came from and so so um he
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35 Melvin my husband's from Chicago I know
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 yes and so when he came let's just I'm G
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39 give a quick little detail how this
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41 story happened because this okay I'm

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06 beauty you know he asked my father for
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08 my hand in marriage I had no idea this
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12 was right before uh a yeah no we right
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14 before August okay um we had we did go
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16 away to Martha's Vineyard with all you
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19 know family and friends on his side to
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21 celebrate his birthday and the same
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24 thing I didn't stay separate he got me
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27 my own A&B house I wake up early in the
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29 morning be with him
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31 could go back and then wake I would be
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 wake at like 6:00 am I want to see my
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36 man come get me breakfast time come get
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38 me right but that's what he did because
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41 he knew the importance of honoring the
00:11:41 --> 00:11:43 coverage now again I think I told you
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44 this before I was not a virgin when I
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46 got married I had made some stupid
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50 decisions but I was really intentional
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52 once I knew that you know some of these
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54 decisions were not the best decisions
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57 God you know get my life in order and
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00 when I did that and brought myself back
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03 to the god class of my life then you
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 know what God will do exactly how he
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 promised and he did exactly how he
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08 promised and I have to beg he brought me
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 someone right from Chicago who is
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 everything I pray literally everything I
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16 pray for and more um and I know it to be
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18 so and lit and the covering was real
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21 like literally I I did not feel like I
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22 did not I did not feel as if I was
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25 stepping down from where my parents had
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27 established me I really felt like I was
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30 stepping up because I was moving into
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32 this new phase of my life but I did not
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34 feel like I was losing anything because
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37 this literally was like my father but my
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41 husband so that I can't talk as you I
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43 can't talk about enough right I gu hours

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27 I'm in a different phase of life um
00:15:27 --> 00:15:30 because I am getting ready for a family
00:15:30 --> 00:15:33 um I'm less busy you know prior to
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36 2025 I was Consulting traveling very
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38 heavily um I've been involved in many
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40 different conferences and event planning
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42 behind the scenes as a strategist for
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45 many people that many people know um and
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48 so I've been very busy helping others um
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49 again then we also have the family
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50 business so this year I was like you
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52 know what you know this year I'm
00:15:52 --> 00:15:56 focusing on home and so my company Glam
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58 print go has been behind the scenes
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00 again working with many leaders
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03 producing you know planners journals
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05 books workbooks and that's always been
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07 my desire is to help experts bring out
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09 the best and really help others with
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11 their knowledge and so that's what I'm
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12 really focusing on this year is just
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15 expanding that business um home though
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17 you know almost like it being a very
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19 successful Boutique company I do not
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21 want it to be where I have all these
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23 employees and you know so okay that's
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25 really been my focus we have closed some
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27 major deals I'm working with black
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29 Pilots of America we just signed with a
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31 couple of attorneys we're working on
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32 some planners and journals that they're
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35 launching for their own
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37 communities a therapist I have a a
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39 therapist right now that we're launching
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41 her inventory just came over from China
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43 and we're launching um her products and
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45 so you know I'm really big on that and I
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47 want to do more of that more of these
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50 bigger projects these year this year and
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52 then outside of that which we talked
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56 about gallon times really this year I am
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59 really focused on helping
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02 God's ladies oh to really
00:17:02 --> 00:17:07 Embrace true true royalty um and to
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11 enjoy experiences that they may not
00:17:11 --> 00:17:13 have how should I put it maybe they kind
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15 of saw it as like oh something you kind
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17 of do once in a while but there are
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19 women that do some of these things all
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22 the while and it's important to make
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24 some how should I say this it's
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26 important to make relationships in this
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29 season really intentional yeah and much
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33 more focused and I want to get back to
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36 gatekeeping yes I believe I know some
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37 people may not like
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40 exclusive but the reason why some women
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42 have been through too much trauma is
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44 because they didn't have enough
00:17:44 --> 00:17:45 Gatekeepers in their lives they didn't
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48 have enough people to say hey that you
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50 know what that is not where you need to
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52 be and I'm not gonna allow that person
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55 even be in this circle I'm not lot times
00:17:55 --> 00:17:58 we we we cater and we enable because we
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01 don't want to offend um but it's time to
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02 offend some people and say Hey listen
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04 you're causing damage you know you need
00:18:04 --> 00:18:05 to go
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08 yes because you don't have the heart for
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09 what we're trying to do and so I'm
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12 really focused on creating this social
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15 club and so it's called Bloom and it is
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18 an intimate um more of like a country
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19 club I'm I'm a country club member and
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20 one of things I love about my country
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21 club is how exclusive it is you know you
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23 can't just get it can't just can't just
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25 walk in here because you have money you
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27 know no they want to know well who do
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28 you know and do you have a sponsor and
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31 and I've always liked that um you know
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33 it's it's classy but I like it too
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36 because it safeguards the people there
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39 yes more women we need relationships
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41 where again we're having these bonding
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43 moments but it's intimate and also Godly
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45 so we're launching Bloom our first event
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47 will be galentine's day which again is

00:21:18 --> 00:21:19 the end of this year I'm be holding the
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21 baby so that's what I'm working on
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23 that's what we're working on it happens
00:21:23 --> 00:21:27 so fast you know it it happens so fast
00:21:27 --> 00:21:30 so know that's really what's going on in
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31 my life and I'm not trying to rush
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32 anything else people are like oh Genesis
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33 you know when are you going to write
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35 another book and when you going to do
00:21:35 --> 00:21:41 this and I feel no pull like I I you
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44 know it's a piece it's a I mean and like
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48 you know like I was a producer I mean I
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50 wake up and I'm like man like I'm I used
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52 to be so focused on Deals Deals deal
00:21:52 --> 00:21:56 deal deals you know now I'm like I don't
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57 really feel like doing that kind of
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59 project
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02 yeah I mean yeah that's not my season
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05 and I'm like wow it took me this long to
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07 get here but you know what I'mma take
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09 every step because it it was worth it it
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11 was worth the transformation of who I am
00:22:11 --> 00:22:15 today I I tell women all the time never
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18 regret time loss because God makes it up
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20 he oh the way he makes it up you can't
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22 even make plans on how he's gonna make
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24 it up he when he makes it up he makes up
00:22:24 --> 00:22:27 for the time loss and then some he's the
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29 Redeemer of the time but you're still
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32 young though Genesis no I'm still
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34 believe me oh it's only half time not
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36 even halftime it's only yeah getting
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38 started yeah but I think sometimes the
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40 way I look at things you know um I'm
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43 like my father I look ahead sometimes
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46 too far but I do look ahead and I I and
00:22:46 --> 00:22:50 I am excited but I think some people
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51 don't know how much I've accomplished in
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53 a short amount of time like I I've been
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56 very focused and that's why I also tell
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58 women you don't have to wait until you
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00 at a certain age to produce you write
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02 your books build your business like I've
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05 done it like I did that in my 20s I'm 30
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08 um 33 now you know but like I did that
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10 so that's why I tell people do it do all
00:23:10 --> 00:23:13 those things um and so that you can get
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15 it all out of you and you can really see
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17 what you want to be um and now that I
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19 look at my life now I'm like okay now
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21 I'm so glad I did those things because
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24 now is like on this next phase I have
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26 even more experience to you know even
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28 support my husband yeah my husband like
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30 wait you you know how to like do that
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32 and you know how to do this you know he
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35 like wait what yeah I'm here to support
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37 you um so yeah I'm just grateful I'm

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42 good and you carry you are you are a
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45 carrier of the teacher anointing yes and
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47 I also car of the teacher anointing and
00:23:47 --> 00:23:51 when I used to see it and people who um
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53 who see it it just inspires that's why I
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56 was able to sit and watch for hours
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57 because it just inspired me I remember
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59 this I let me tell you I got my scarf on

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06 real moment it's a podcast right Genesis

00:24:07 --> 00:24:10 size and I remember her teaching us
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11 about wearing the right
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14 size and J do you know that let me tell

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36 Genesis was like no y'all need to get
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37 when you're popping out and she was like
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39 and I was like she is so she's gonna
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40 show us and you like this is the store
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43 you need to go to and she was pulling up
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46 and I've been going there ever since I G
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47 you know what's so funny it's like
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49 sometimes as I look back like soon as I
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51 go look back on my old cousin I'm like
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55 wow like I really was I was I was even
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57 more Unapologetic you know that's that
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00 young oh you didn't care I
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03 was and it's so funny because I have
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04 people in my community you know who've
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06 been with me for years and they're like
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09 you know Genesis like you were willing
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12 to say stuff that my friends were trying
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14 to say but just didn't want to say
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15 didn't know how to say you would say it
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18 with no filter and you did not care you
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20 know and I'm the same way it's it's a
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22 little bit more you know graceful you
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24 know that's what age is at it but you
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26 know I'm still that same person and I I
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29 appreciate the fact that whatever way
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31 God Made You to deliver your message oh
00:25:31 --> 00:25:33 we got it he didn't make a mistake he he
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36 didn't there are people that are meant
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38 for your message they're meant for the
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40 way you deliver it your twang your slang
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42 whatever it is and you know the right
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44 people that God has sent they're going
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45 to be attracted and they're going to
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47 want to learn so I always tell people
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49 yeah it was a little harsh but you know
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52 it did the job uh it did the job and I'm
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54 just grateful for people you know even
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56 like yourself people who have been a
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58 part of my life you know these people
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00 been a part of my life and like I know
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03 these like I know you for real like not
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06 like you on social media her for real I
00:26:06 --> 00:26:09 know her yeah that's a blessing to be
00:26:09 --> 00:26:14 connected in that way yeah let me ask
00:26:14 --> 00:26:15 you because I go through this sometimes
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17 and I know other people probably do too
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19 and watching you how successful You Are
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20 Everything You Touch it just is just and
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21 I'm not just saying this y'all I'm not
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23 gessing her up she knows who she is and
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25 anybody who knows her knows I mean it
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28 Everything You Touch prospers
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30 have you ever had to do something and
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31 I'm asking this question for myself and
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33 others and you're like you know I just
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35 can't get this right like or have you
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38 ever gotten to a place in your season or
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41 life where you just weren't creative and
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44 you just like I I just can't
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47 create oh how many how many how many
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50 times can I count um that is that is
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53 something that is um a heavy part of my
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56 story because as some you know people
00:26:56 --> 00:27:00 like I'm a creative um but you know as
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03 someone that does have a creative
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06 ability you do have to learn how to not
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09 force it because for me as a producer
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10 especially if you're like a type A
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12 personality you're like okay let's go
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13 let's go let's go and that's not how
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15 Crea creativity is like it's like all
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16 right it doesn't work that way you know
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18 doesn't like produce produce produce
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20 right um and so that's happened to me
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23 many times and I've what I teach my
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26 community is that you have to create
00:27:26 --> 00:27:30 spaces Within where your creativity can
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32 go to work and it doesn't go to work
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34 because you want to go to work yeah
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36 that's not creativity not creativity not
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38 not it has to be sparked it has to be
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40 inspirational so that's why you know for
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43 me A lot of times my best creativity
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44 comes when I'm listening to a sermon or
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46 I'm listening to music or I'm watching a
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49 documentary or you know I'm actually
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51 listening to someone else talk about
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53 Concepts and I'm like you know what that
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54 actually reminds me like I was telling
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55 my community I was watching Chef's Table
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58 I love documentaries Chef's Table
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00 amazing that they have different series
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03 The Chef's uh table pastries and
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06 barbecue and uh but when you watch them
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09 you hear from chefs who have birthed Out
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11 restaurant Concepts uh you know certain
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13 types of Specialties and food and they
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15 talk about their passion they talk about
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18 where the ideas came from a lot that'll
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20 spark you and you're about your own
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22 thing you know so yeah it often happens
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24 but you have to you do have to figure
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27 out what's your recipe to that's good
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28 that's good
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30 time time time with the Holy Spirit is
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32 the greatest really um because when I'm
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34 in prayer that's when oh man I get the
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36 most inspiration or when I'm worship
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38 music because my ears are spiritually
00:28:38 --> 00:28:42 tuned to really flow um and so yeah
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44 there's definitely those stops but
00:28:44 --> 00:28:47 there's also times where I've had where
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49 my creativity could not
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53 Trump um moveing God's hand I give
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55 perfect example when I buil girls
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56 royalty girls royalty was women's
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58 ministry we had over 10 women
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00 Ministry uh Nationwide and some that
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02 were International we had we had a team
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04 of women we were producing that's where
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05 a lot of people have known me from when
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08 I first got started we produced Bible
00:29:08 --> 00:29:09 studies that women would download this
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11 is like back when like Pinky Promise was
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14 big and there were Ministries that put
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16 out Bible studies you know now we have
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17 like saved in the city and she reached
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19 truth and proverbs 31 that stuff wasn't
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23 as popular as it was so I had started on
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25 YouTube this is back when I was 19 years
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27 old I started writing Bible studies and
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30 that's how PE that's how I literally
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33 grew all these women and then we built
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35 over time over time we were putting out
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37 Bible studies every single month we were
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39 doing online Bible we were teaching
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40 teaching teaching and then it got to
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42 where God said you're
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45 done that was it so you know there's the
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46 side where what happens when your
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48 creativity you know won't come out and
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51 then what happens when your creativity
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52 uh is not enough and you're like well I
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54 have all these ideas and God's like no
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55 you're done you're
00:29:55 --> 00:29:59 done you're done you're done that for me
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00 was crazy because I was like maybe I
00:30:00 --> 00:30:04 heard him wrong so then we stopped then
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06 I I then I got all the women back
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08 together we tried to restart and there
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10 was no Grace on it there was no Grace
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12 there was no Grace it didn't matter how
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14 cre how creative I thought the Bible
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17 studies could be no nothing pushed it up
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19 back up it was like it was really it was
00:30:19 --> 00:30:23 dead it was done and so when you feel
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24 that your creativity is not working you
00:30:24 --> 00:30:27 do need to verify to make sure that's I
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29 pr is it not working because I just
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31 haven't like gotten in my space for it
00:30:31 --> 00:30:34 to flow or am I doing something I'm not
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36 supposed to do and God will not give me
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39 the creative Grace to move forward yeah
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40 that's where I've had to learn the
00:30:40 --> 00:30:43 difference and here that's good like he
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45 didn't tell you to write that book you
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46 want to write the book but he didn't
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47 tell you write the book that's why
00:30:47 --> 00:30:51 creativity not working like that that's
00:30:51 --> 00:30:53 good that's good you know that's good
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54 right there I wanted to make a point
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56 because you said something I remember
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00 when I first saw you preach cuz you said
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01 spoke about you know uh the Bible
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03 studies um it was at a church in
00:31:04 --> 00:31:08 wilington and fire fire fire um so you
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10 gu I I think I watched you preach first
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12 and then we shifted into the teaching
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15 part said she preaching teacher yes yes
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18 yes yeah I get there from my grandfather
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21 my my grandfather was the preacher my
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24 father was is the teacher the teacher
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26 both of that from them yeah and Mom just
00:31:26 --> 00:31:29 bad I see my mom he's
00:31:29 --> 00:31:33 fire yes so that was good so Grace and
00:31:33 --> 00:31:36 you want to pray and be uh and consult
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38 the Lord during those seasons and those
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41 times and I do want to ask a question I
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42 know I want to go back a little bit
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44 because I so much I want to say has your
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47 husband heard you preach yet yes so I
00:31:47 --> 00:31:51 have so um I didn't even I posted a post
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52 about it but I didn't like make I'm
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54 waiting for for the folks to come back
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56 so I'm now in Ministry training
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58 officially for my church
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00 oh so yes this is a whole different
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02 shift so a lot of people like well Jes
00:32:02 --> 00:32:04 like aren't you preaching Church no
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07 because no no no because the way it
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10 works so my father is very particular so
00:32:10 --> 00:32:13 we have a whole ministerial team and for
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16 a long time it wasn't really like known
00:32:16 --> 00:32:19 like would Genesis step into that kind
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21 of ministry role because it's different
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23 doing women's ministry does not mean
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24 this is important for some of you to
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26 know does not mean you're called to
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28 preach at your church you okay there's
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30 Outreach you know there's people like
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32 for me I've meant to go out go out and
00:32:32 --> 00:32:34 Minister and teach go out and build
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36 women around right I bu women through my
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38 church but that doesn't mean I'm called
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40 to stay in the pull pit and be in the
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42 Pastoral like an evangelist like you
00:32:42 --> 00:32:45 know go out and okay different offices
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48 and then over time God began to reveal
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50 that okay it's time for her to be
00:32:50 --> 00:32:54 trained in that role that's you know
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55 that's important to make sure you're not
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58 you know overstepping when it's not time
00:32:58 --> 00:33:00 and so now I'm in ministerial training
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02 and I actually my father just celebrated
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05 20 years in ministry as a pastor and I
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07 preached that service I saw that well I
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09 didn't see the service I I saw you
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12 saying this the first time talk it it's
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14 not the same you know it's it's it's
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17 it's a different for me and I'm a church
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20 kid it's a different position because
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22 now you're stepping into like caretaking
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25 for yeah that is that's why preaching
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27 and pastoring are too different they're
00:33:27 --> 00:33:30 not two different things um and like at
00:33:30 --> 00:33:31 our church you know we don't have like
00:33:31 --> 00:33:33 guest preachers like we don't do any all
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34 that we don't do any of that kind of
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36 stuff so like there isn't like you know
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38 those types of um things where that
00:33:38 --> 00:33:39 would step in it's like if you're going
00:33:39 --> 00:33:41 to preach in that Pulpit it's because
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43 you have went through this particular
00:33:43 --> 00:33:46 process so um it's really exciting I'm
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48 being trained by my father now it is we
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51 are closer than we've ever been due like
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53 we've always I mean we're like we're
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55 like this oh say daddy's little girl I'm
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58 a daddy's girl but this has brought us
00:33:58 --> 00:34:01 even more closer because of his heart
00:34:01 --> 00:34:04 that I've always known for the people
00:34:04 --> 00:34:07 but when you come on the on like the
00:34:07 --> 00:34:09 inner side like the ministerial side you
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10 you really get to see things that you
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12 really had no idea even though I would
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14 watch him in his office preparing for
00:34:14 --> 00:34:17 sermons now I step into his process I
00:34:17 --> 00:34:20 step into all of that um so it it's uh
00:34:20 --> 00:34:24 it's been a really interesting season
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26 I'm excited for it um I'm excited for
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28 what God's going to do and I'm just
00:34:28 --> 00:34:31 honored that um God would continue the
00:34:31 --> 00:34:34 Legacy through me I think that's are you
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37 the only child no I'm not so I I'm and
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39 no so my brother he's one year younger
00:34:39 --> 00:34:42 than me yeah we're a year and four days
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44 apart so I'm April 12 he's April the
00:34:44 --> 00:34:48 16th um and he is gifted in finance and
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50 so we are really praying that like we're
00:34:50 --> 00:34:53 like we know what God has for him like
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55 in Min in Ministry and we're just
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58 praying that God pulls him
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00 deeper into that because his anointing
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02 when it comes to finances and like
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05 helping people in the body of Christ you
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07 know there's anointing on him that he
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09 needs to bring into the body of Christ
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10 so I'm just praying like Lord you know
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12 you want to slap him the holy ghost real
00:35:12 --> 00:35:15 fast you know but I you know in God's
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17 timing but he is definitely a part my
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18 brother Judy he's definitely a part of
00:35:18 --> 00:35:21 this family Legacy I'm just uh excited
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22 to see what God does in his own way with
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24 him yes I didn't know you had a brother
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26 I thought you only child you so
00:35:26 --> 00:35:29 spoiled yeah listen yeah but I do it he

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33 that no matter what the age is we can

00:36:48 --> 00:36:49 up for the
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51 gallentine and I don't know if we're
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53 going to talk about the gallentine or
00:36:53 --> 00:36:54 not but I just need to know the
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55 background because I see the little old
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58 pictures and I was trying to read it to
00:36:58 --> 00:37:01 so give us the story about the gall time
00:37:01 --> 00:37:03 so
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06 historically dinner clubs and and um
00:37:06 --> 00:37:08 supper clubs Social Clubs have always
00:37:08 --> 00:37:11 been established in societies whether
00:37:11 --> 00:37:14 it's in America in Europe and you know
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16 more so has always usually been for the
00:37:16 --> 00:37:19 Upper Crust right for upper middle upper
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21 class and but even in the black
00:37:21 --> 00:37:24 communities though there are historic
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26 old dinner supper clubs you know
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27 Delaware has I I think there's one
00:37:27 --> 00:37:30 called the Monday club right you know
00:37:30 --> 00:37:33 there so there's always been clubs but
00:37:33 --> 00:37:36 over time a lot of those clubs um have
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38 either become dwindled or just
00:37:38 --> 00:37:40 non-existent because of the history and
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42 just hasn't been kept and I uh as you
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44 know someone who was a Pride and
00:37:44 --> 00:37:47 Prejudice lover I am a you know um
00:37:47 --> 00:37:49 guilded age you know I love the Elegance
00:37:49 --> 00:37:52 I grew up as a little girl watching I'm
00:37:52 --> 00:37:53 assessing all my favorite movies are
00:37:53 --> 00:37:57 from the 40s and 50s because of dresses
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58 you know my favorite actress is Audrey
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01 heurn because I love her gowns in funny
00:38:01 --> 00:38:04 face and in my fair lady you know and
00:38:04 --> 00:38:06 you know these are all of my you know
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08 meet me and St Louis with with Judy
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10 Garland and and the dresses they wore
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13 and I just love the fion you know and so
00:38:13 --> 00:38:15 there was this thing back in the old
00:38:15 --> 00:38:17 days of where getting up and going out
00:38:17 --> 00:38:21 to eat was a formal Affair it was not
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23 casual affair you know it was up you
00:38:23 --> 00:38:25 would put on your best whether it was
00:38:26 --> 00:38:30 Black Tie or you know let formal and so
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31 what I did was I kind of went back in
00:38:31 --> 00:38:33 history and started looking at just the
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35 history of some of these clubs and on
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37 how it was something of prestige it
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40 wasn't light it was when you went out to
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42 eat you actually went out with your
00:38:42 --> 00:38:45 Social Circles it wasn't like strangers
00:38:45 --> 00:38:48 everyone knew everybody or knew of that
00:38:48 --> 00:38:51 person and so it was very communal and
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53 so when I thought about again Bloom and
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56 just this concept I want to bring back a
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58 mixture of the tradition
00:38:58 --> 00:39:01 which you know these These are classy
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02 events this is not where there's a grass
00:39:02 --> 00:39:05 wall and because you paid you know $8
00:39:05 --> 00:39:08 that's luxury like no that's not and
00:39:08 --> 00:39:09 that's other thing too I want to change
00:39:09 --> 00:39:11 the mindset of what luxury really is I
00:39:11 --> 00:39:12 think
00:39:12 --> 00:39:15 luxury trendy and about vanity it's
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17 about how can I brag about how much
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19 money I have but see that's not luxury
00:39:19 --> 00:39:22 that's not that is that is a a a a
00:39:22 --> 00:39:24 perverted concept that pride is taking
00:39:24 --> 00:39:27 over yes Bloom I want to bring back what
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28 black women need what your which is
00:39:28 --> 00:39:32 access black people we have money but we
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34 don't have access and we're not where
00:39:34 --> 00:39:34 many times we're not where we're
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36 supposed to be you know you brag about
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38 how you spent went to you know Dubai
00:39:38 --> 00:39:41 whatever you you dropped 10 and so
00:39:41 --> 00:39:42 you mean to tell me you can't afford a
00:39:42 --> 00:39:43 country club you can't afford to put
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45 your kids in Delaware at some of these
00:39:45 --> 00:39:47 top private schools you can't afford to
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48 put your kids in some of these upper
00:39:48 --> 00:39:50 echelon experiences what are you what
00:39:50 --> 00:39:51 are you talking no no you just spent the
00:39:51 --> 00:39:55 money it's that the idea of access is
00:39:55 --> 00:39:58 very just just distorted right it's
00:39:58 --> 00:40:01 important that we realize that we need
00:40:01 --> 00:40:03 as as not just black women but also to
00:40:03 --> 00:40:06 God's ladies yeah we need to bring back
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08 some of these traditions of like
00:40:08 --> 00:40:11 community of like on how like I said
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13 before you know you receive the hand
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14 written because that's how that's how

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51 I would have so much stuff to talk about
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53 and I mean things have really I mean
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55 it's really
00:45:55 --> 00:45:57 dramatically slow
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59 down I think the only thing I um I guess
00:45:59 --> 00:46:04 I would add to what's going on um I mean
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06 I talk a little bit about golf but you
00:46:06 --> 00:46:09 know it's a big part of my life and um
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11 one of the things I am being a lot more
00:46:11 --> 00:46:15 intentional about is mentoring um I have
00:46:15 --> 00:46:18 a small group of mentees young ladies um
00:46:18 --> 00:46:20 and it's nothing online like oh are you
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21 Mentor no I'm this is where it's just
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24 you know Intimate Relationships but I am
00:46:24 --> 00:46:27 very big on making sure that they are
00:46:27 --> 00:46:30 being exposed to things um that I've
00:46:30 --> 00:46:31 been blessed to so like one of the
00:46:31 --> 00:46:33 things I was talking about mty one of
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35 one of them I said you know make sure I
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37 told her I said um are all your accounts
00:46:37 --> 00:46:40 set up your portfolio you know she said
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42 well my job you know gave me this
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44 retirement account you know but that's I
00:46:44 --> 00:46:47 said okay so I gave her a list she went
00:46:47 --> 00:46:49 she went to go set up her Char she know
00:46:49 --> 00:46:50 I gave her a list I said you know I'm
00:46:50 --> 00:46:51 not gonna tell you where to go and then
00:46:51 --> 00:46:52 a week later she said okay well I set up
00:46:52 --> 00:46:54 an account with Charles Schwab and I've
00:46:54 --> 00:46:55 ordered my book I have a reading
00:46:55 --> 00:46:57 automatic millionaire and smart women
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59 finish Rich by David Bach which were
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01 requiring my father made me read
00:47:01 --> 00:47:03 automatic millionaire when I was I think
00:47:03 --> 00:47:06 in high school and um now what is it
00:47:06 --> 00:47:11 like hold on now hold on you
00:47:11 --> 00:47:16 g so David Bach d a v i d b a c h David
00:47:16 --> 00:47:18 Bach okay he he he's the one that he's
00:47:18 --> 00:47:20 most well known for automatic
00:47:20 --> 00:47:22 millionaire but there's a book that I
00:47:22 --> 00:47:25 recommend for all of my young men teasy
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27 called smart women finish rich
00:47:27 --> 00:47:31 and a really really like real honest raw
00:47:31 --> 00:47:32 experiences that like us as women like
00:47:32 --> 00:47:34 when it comes to our finances many times
00:47:34 --> 00:47:37 you know we experience but I I call it
00:47:37 --> 00:47:39 kind of like the textbook that I tell a
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41 lot of my young ladies to read because
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43 many times especially if they haven't
00:47:43 --> 00:47:45 had a father in their lives that have
00:47:45 --> 00:47:47 fathered them financially my father came
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49 from Wall Street and you know executive
00:47:49 --> 00:47:51 banking so there were things that he
00:47:51 --> 00:47:52 didn't even know because his he didn't
00:47:52 --> 00:47:54 have a father and president's life but
00:47:54 --> 00:47:56 when he got into his career he learned
00:47:56 --> 00:47:58 things from being in a new environment
00:47:59 --> 00:48:00 that he hadn't been in and so what he
00:48:00 --> 00:48:01 did was he brought that knowledge back
00:48:01 --> 00:48:04 to his family and you know now of course
00:48:04 --> 00:48:06 he mentors other men and their families
00:48:06 --> 00:48:08 but these books were there is a a list
00:48:08 --> 00:48:10 um and back in the day on my old website
00:48:10 --> 00:48:12 I had a whole family wealth book list
00:48:12 --> 00:48:15 that my father had me uh read and I put
00:48:15 --> 00:48:17 I used to put them online I had articles
00:48:17 --> 00:48:18 and my website changed five million
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21 times but David boach um automatic
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23 millionaire because he really what he
00:48:23 --> 00:48:25 teaches that making millions of dollars
00:48:25 --> 00:48:28 is not a Miracle it's about
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30 understanding compounded interests and
00:48:30 --> 00:48:32 being really willing to sacrifice and
00:48:32 --> 00:48:35 putting your money away investing uh
00:48:35 --> 00:48:36 putting them into high yield savings
00:48:36 --> 00:48:38 accounts and I'm not a financial expert
00:48:38 --> 00:48:39 I'm just telling you like these are
00:48:39 --> 00:48:42 things that oh yeah I believe it people
00:48:42 --> 00:48:45 do right um but these are things that
00:48:45 --> 00:48:49 will set if you have a a a teenager
00:48:49 --> 00:48:51 about to go to college and they don't
00:48:51 --> 00:48:52 have a college Savings Plan outside of a
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54 college savings plan they need to have
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56 their own portfolio where you're putting
00:48:56 --> 00:48:57 money away my first first year of
00:48:57 --> 00:48:59 college was paid for by Google stocks
00:48:59 --> 00:49:01 and my parents have had paid Spellman
00:49:01 --> 00:49:02 was paid for that first year Spellman
00:49:02 --> 00:49:05 was paid for by stocks now again these
00:49:05 --> 00:49:08 are things where you know and people
00:49:08 --> 00:49:09 talk about family wealth and building
00:49:09 --> 00:49:12 Legacy but a lot of times it's like a
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13 waste of talk because unless you're
00:49:13 --> 00:49:14 actually doing what you're supposed to
00:49:14 --> 00:49:17 do yeah few conversations you're gonna
00:49:17 --> 00:49:20 have every year and it is what it is you
00:49:20 --> 00:49:21 know what I mean but like at some point
00:49:21 --> 00:49:24 you have to actually do what you believe
00:49:24 --> 00:49:27 in and so with my mentees who don't have
00:49:27 --> 00:49:30 that I'm like you have a week to get
00:49:30 --> 00:49:32 this my other M she's reading the book
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34 but she did a audio book I'm reading
00:49:34 --> 00:49:36 audio so that's fine that's fine and
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38 we're gonna talk about it and when we
00:49:38 --> 00:49:39 talk about it I'm gonna expect to see
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41 some
00:49:41 --> 00:49:43 things so that's why like my other M she
00:49:43 --> 00:49:44 set up that Charles schab account
00:49:44 --> 00:49:45 because I said there's no way you're
00:49:46 --> 00:49:47 gonna read a book and not do what you
00:49:47 --> 00:49:50 read yeah season I'm in I'm in this
00:49:50 --> 00:49:52 season now where I'm mentoring I'm uh
00:49:52 --> 00:49:55 you know I'm guiding young women who
00:49:55 --> 00:49:58 were in their 20s and just like giving
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00 them that uh not telling them what to do
00:50:00 --> 00:50:02 but saying okay these are your options
00:50:02 --> 00:50:05 you're in charge of your life are you
00:50:05 --> 00:50:07 going to repeat what you've seen or are
00:50:07 --> 00:50:09 you going to create a better life for
00:50:09 --> 00:50:11 yourself and I'm also helping them to
00:50:11 --> 00:50:14 consider marriage uh in in a different
00:50:14 --> 00:50:16 way than what they're hearing online you
00:50:16 --> 00:50:19 know there's a lot of oh I love that um
00:50:19 --> 00:50:20 and so I I tell them okay listen I know
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22 you you want to be successful and you
00:50:22 --> 00:50:25 want to be married okay you got to learn
00:50:25 --> 00:50:27 that you can't dominate man and expect
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29 for him to marry you that's not going to
00:50:29 --> 00:50:31 happen especially the kind of man that I
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33 know that you desire so it's been great
00:50:33 --> 00:50:35 I'm mentoring I'm now it's so funny it's

00:52:18 --> 00:52:21 well when I was very young she she built
00:52:21 --> 00:52:25 that in me you know to realize that I'm
00:52:25 --> 00:52:26 not going to because you know people say
00:52:26 --> 00:52:28 well Genesis you know you you went to
00:52:28 --> 00:52:29 these schools you did you know of course
00:52:29 --> 00:52:31 you had but my parents actually never
00:52:31 --> 00:52:32 gave me any money to start any of my
00:52:32 --> 00:52:34 businesses they did not I remember you
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36 saying that they did so all the money
00:52:36 --> 00:52:38 out it was because like I literally was
00:52:38 --> 00:52:40 like figuring this stuff out my parents
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42 were in industries that had nothing to
00:52:42 --> 00:52:43 do with the stuff that I do
00:52:43 --> 00:52:46 like um but my mother she would always
00:52:46 --> 00:52:48 tell me she Genesis you know she always
00:52:48 --> 00:52:50 this why I even said it previously she
00:52:50 --> 00:52:51 said it's up to you to make your
00:52:51 --> 00:52:53 decision I cannot make the decision for
00:52:53 --> 00:52:54 you you will make the decision for
00:52:54 --> 00:52:57 yourself I want you to pray in the
00:52:57 --> 00:53:00 spirit and then Choose Wisely my God

00:54:35 --> 00:54:37 Lord thank you Lord learn to be
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39 resilient so there are people who yes
00:54:39 --> 00:54:41 they look at my life they say well Jes
00:54:41 --> 00:54:43 you kind of had it but they don't know
00:54:43 --> 00:54:46 the parts in my story where like when I
00:54:46 --> 00:54:49 was 19 my parents went to prison and
00:54:49 --> 00:54:51 then I took over the family business
00:54:51 --> 00:54:54 from 19 to about my mid 20s and so I
00:54:54 --> 00:54:56 never really had a 20s you know like
00:54:56 --> 00:54:59 about that there's parts of my story
00:54:59 --> 00:55:01 people don't know so when you look yeah
00:55:01 --> 00:55:03 you can judge and you can have all these
00:55:03 --> 00:55:05 thoughts about how you feel like I had
00:55:05 --> 00:55:07 it so easy and I did all this and I did
00:55:07 --> 00:55:10 all that yeah my story is not about what
00:55:10 --> 00:55:12 I've ever had because even my parents
00:55:12 --> 00:55:14 did that was through following the Holy
00:55:14 --> 00:55:16 Spirit like what my parents did that was
00:55:16 --> 00:55:18 through them be building bricks out of
00:55:18 --> 00:55:22 nothing yes literally you may think I
00:55:22 --> 00:55:24 got it from just getting it but I'm here
00:55:24 --> 00:55:27 to say that my story is one of Leaning
00:55:27 --> 00:55:30 into the voice of the Holy Spirit when I
00:55:30 --> 00:55:32 came back from Spelman I was at Spelman
00:55:32 --> 00:55:33 I had to come home to help run the
00:55:33 --> 00:55:34 family business because my parents are B
00:55:34 --> 00:55:37 away my brother was going to morehous so
00:55:37 --> 00:55:40 he was leaving morous is felin yeah yeah
00:55:40 --> 00:55:42 so I had my church family but we were
00:55:42 --> 00:55:44 going through a church turnover because
00:55:44 --> 00:55:46 what happened to my parents betrayal
00:55:46 --> 00:55:48 backstabbing I didn't I had trust issues
00:55:48 --> 00:55:52 for so long yeah so when that happened
00:55:53 --> 00:55:55 and I stepped into the school the school
00:55:55 --> 00:55:56 people like oh the school gonna shut
00:55:56 --> 00:55:58 down because doctor school's gonna shut
00:55:58 --> 00:56:00 down and and we were so busy trying to
00:56:00 --> 00:56:02 fight this appeal of what happened and
00:56:02 --> 00:56:05 you know oh man just you talk about a
00:56:05 --> 00:56:07 crazy story and so I'm fighting people's
00:56:07 --> 00:56:09 opinions online and my parents people
00:56:09 --> 00:56:10 who have been waiting for my parents
00:56:10 --> 00:56:12 that have any type of any type just just
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14 wait just waiting right so I'm going
00:56:14 --> 00:56:17 through all this my parents are not here
00:56:17 --> 00:56:19 I come to the family business and I'm
00:56:20 --> 00:56:23 like how are we going to build this and
00:56:23 --> 00:56:24 expand this school that's been in
00:56:24 --> 00:56:25 business at this point for I think
00:56:25 --> 00:56:28 that's already 10 years and people are
00:56:28 --> 00:56:31 having trust issues I knew nothing about
00:56:31 --> 00:56:33 marketing I knew nothing about
00:56:33 --> 00:56:36 business was I was a great college
00:56:36 --> 00:56:38 student and I was very smart the Holy
00:56:38 --> 00:56:39 Spirit taught me on how to become a
00:56:39 --> 00:56:41 great marketer the Holy Spirit taught me
00:56:41 --> 00:56:43 how to build websites because I wanted
00:56:43 --> 00:56:44 to change our website that we have for
00:56:44 --> 00:56:46 the school I these like so when I talked
00:56:46 --> 00:56:48 about making money and I would show
00:56:48 --> 00:56:50 women how I was making money it wasn't
00:56:50 --> 00:56:53 because oh I had a tutor teach me how to
00:56:53 --> 00:56:55 build websites yeah no no no no no I
00:56:55 --> 00:56:58 learned it through my story of pain and
00:56:58 --> 00:56:59 I learned it through how do you build a
00:56:59 --> 00:57:02 business at 19 years old 19 years old 7
00:57:02 --> 00:57:04 business you don't even know how to run
00:57:04 --> 00:57:06 and the Lord sustained you and then
00:57:06 --> 00:57:07 while you're in that same process that's
00:57:07 --> 00:57:09 when the lord gave me girls Ru team that
00:57:09 --> 00:57:11 Ministry that blew to 10 women he
00:57:11 --> 00:57:13 gave it to me when I was calling my dad
00:57:13 --> 00:57:15 on the prison phone talking about Dad
00:57:15 --> 00:57:16 what should I name this ministry I was
00:57:17 --> 00:57:19 gonna call Esther's girls he said no
00:57:19 --> 00:57:21 girls royalty I'm so glad I didn't call
00:57:21 --> 00:57:23 Esther's girls that's what he birthed
00:57:23 --> 00:57:26 the ministry not when I was all together
00:57:26 --> 00:57:29 he birthed it when I had never ever done
00:57:29 --> 00:57:31 public know I was on like my school's
00:57:31 --> 00:57:33 government I was a president but I had
00:57:33 --> 00:57:35 never done any preaching teaching I had
00:57:35 --> 00:57:36 I had I never had gotten up in front of
00:57:36 --> 00:57:37 people with the word of God and said
00:57:37 --> 00:57:40 boom boom boom God bir the teaching gift
00:57:40 --> 00:57:42 out of me in my parents Library when
00:57:42 --> 00:57:45 they were not there I I I was in
00:57:45 --> 00:57:47 desperate pain I was addicted to
00:57:47 --> 00:57:49 pornography I was addict in sexual
00:57:49 --> 00:57:51 addiction I because I didn't know how to
00:57:51 --> 00:57:52 how to get through this what was
00:57:53 --> 00:57:56 happening I was like I was in I mean I
00:57:56 --> 00:57:58 was in so much pain I didn't know what
00:57:58 --> 00:58:00 was going on I'm like God like you need
00:58:01 --> 00:58:02 to tell me this need to happen to my
00:58:02 --> 00:58:03 parents like you get me like I was just
00:58:03 --> 00:58:06 I was boom yeah that's when God birthed
00:58:06 --> 00:58:09 everything that made me and it was my
00:58:09 --> 00:58:11 mother that would she would send me
00:58:11 --> 00:58:14 these long prison prison go Core links
00:58:14 --> 00:58:16 you log in core links she us to be this
00:58:16 --> 00:58:18 long behind email how she was praying
00:58:18 --> 00:58:22 for me how she was and I'm like well mom
00:58:22 --> 00:58:23 wait you're the one that's Li you're the
00:58:23 --> 00:58:26 one in there but she was like genesis
00:58:26 --> 00:58:29 you've got this stay focused do
00:58:29 --> 00:58:30 [Music]
00:58:30 --> 00:58:32 not because she was that's how my par
00:58:32 --> 00:58:33 very
00:58:33 --> 00:58:36 resilient when they came out the
00:58:36 --> 00:58:38 business is not only sustained but we
00:58:38 --> 00:58:39 blew up and we
00:58:39 --> 00:58:42 grew where we are today people they like
00:58:42 --> 00:58:44 how now we're this year we celebrated 20
00:58:44 --> 00:58:47 years in business I saw that years in
00:58:47 --> 00:58:49 business right my father celebrated 20
00:58:49 --> 00:58:52 years in Ministry so like when I look at
00:58:52 --> 00:58:54 my story and I think about how like you
00:58:55 --> 00:58:57 know me being Midwife how I had a
00:58:57 --> 00:59:00 midwife and you talking this birthing
00:59:00 --> 00:59:03 room it doesn't come from the perfect
00:59:03 --> 00:59:06 stories it it comes from these stories
00:59:06 --> 00:59:09 where God will use you despite what you
00:59:09 --> 00:59:12 go through and the enemy when he tries
00:59:12 --> 00:59:15 to shame you when he tries to flick dirt
00:59:15 --> 00:59:16 on your name tries to
00:59:17 --> 00:59:19 mation you'll come out with no smoke it
00:59:19 --> 00:59:22 may now it may feel like you on fire
00:59:22 --> 00:59:23 when you going through it but I'm
00:59:23 --> 00:59:25 telling when you come out there'll be no
00:59:25 --> 00:59:27 smoke and will still try to throw dirt
00:59:27 --> 00:59:28 because of what you went through
00:59:28 --> 00:59:31 different things look at at what God has
00:59:31 --> 00:59:33 blessed me with I said you know what I
00:59:33 --> 00:59:35 received the blessings of God and I'm
00:59:35 --> 00:59:37 telling you they don't know my testimony
00:59:37 --> 00:59:38 that's the thing people look oh you
00:59:38 --> 00:59:40 doing you
00:59:40 --> 00:59:43 don't I didn't know that I I had no idea
00:59:43 --> 00:59:45 of that testimony but you know what that
00:59:45 --> 00:59:46 also gives me so much more respect and
00:59:46 --> 00:59:49 now I understand because I'm like you
00:59:49 --> 00:59:51 know I probably would think like
00:59:51 --> 00:59:53 everybody else oh she her family came
00:59:53 --> 00:59:55 from money like you know she just it was
00:59:55 --> 00:59:57 in her mom G her books to read you know

01:00:28 --> 01:00:32 High yeah we tell we GNA rock it and I'm
01:00:32 --> 01:00:34 and that's I'm so thankful for the staff
01:00:34 --> 01:00:36 because if it was not for like our
01:00:36 --> 01:00:37 administrator Miss dict and all these
01:00:37 --> 01:00:38 other people that we
01:00:38 --> 01:00:42 had when I tell you like I I look back
01:00:42 --> 01:00:46 on it right be thinking I'm like I
01:00:46 --> 01:00:49 that's why like I me that's loyalty yeah
01:00:49 --> 01:00:51 I'm telling you that's why I Mentor
01:00:51 --> 01:00:54 because I I didn't have a 20s my 20s
01:00:54 --> 01:00:56 were nonexistent pretty much
01:00:56 --> 01:00:59 and so what I look back at But but so
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01 funny I didn't have a 20s but what I did
01:01:01 --> 01:01:04 in my 20s most 20 year olds are just
01:01:04 --> 01:01:06 trying to figure out what they want to
01:01:06 --> 01:01:08 do yeah and so that's why I'm really
01:01:08 --> 01:01:10 intentional like I said before like
01:01:10 --> 01:01:12 making sure that girls who were in their
01:01:12 --> 01:01:15 20s are realizing like if I could have
01:01:15 --> 01:01:18 the ability and I and I you not going
01:01:18 --> 01:01:20 you defin you got the all the ability
01:01:20 --> 01:01:21 it's on the inside of you you have
01:01:21 --> 01:01:23 everything that you need to accomplish
01:01:23 --> 01:01:25 you just need somebody who has more
01:01:25 --> 01:01:27 wisdom than you to show you the
01:01:27 --> 01:01:29 different opportunities that are ahead
01:01:29 --> 01:01:32 of you so like that's where I'm at like
01:01:32 --> 01:01:33 you know we talk about what am I doing
01:01:33 --> 01:01:36 next the season I'm at is really like
01:01:36 --> 01:01:38 looking back on where God brought me and
01:01:38 --> 01:01:40 empowering every single woman that will
01:01:40 --> 01:01:43 listen and say listen whatever desires
01:01:43 --> 01:01:45 God has put on the inside of your heart
01:01:45 --> 01:01:47 they will become a reality but you have
01:01:47 --> 01:01:50 to be bold enough to stand and who you
01:01:50 --> 01:01:54 are made you to be and make it a reality
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56 like God's already given us the ability
01:01:56 --> 01:01:57 we're not waiting on God to like do it
01:01:57 --> 01:01:59 he's given us the ability it's just that
01:01:59 --> 01:02:01 it takes time people want to skip the
01:02:01 --> 01:02:03 time that it takes to be great no do not
01:02:03 --> 01:02:06 time they don't want the process time is
01:02:06 --> 01:02:08 a blessing because a lot of times we
01:02:08 --> 01:02:10 think that we're ready and when God see
01:02:10 --> 01:02:12 we don't we don't see what God see gu's
01:02:12 --> 01:02:14 like I I can't hand you the whole bat at
01:02:14 --> 01:02:16 once I can't I can't do it I can't give
01:02:16 --> 01:02:18 it to you all at one time but when he
01:02:18 --> 01:02:21 gives it to us and he gives it in these
01:02:21 --> 01:02:24 uh doses it's helping to build us up to
01:02:25 --> 01:02:26 where we are today you know I look back
01:02:26 --> 01:02:27 that's about like even my name I look
01:02:27 --> 01:02:30 back on like books I've written and all
01:02:30 --> 01:02:33 these things and I'm like it's I could
01:02:33 --> 01:02:34 have written half of these books if I
01:02:34 --> 01:02:36 hadn't gone through not to say that I
01:02:36 --> 01:02:38 needed not say like you know oh God
01:02:38 --> 01:02:40 thank you for messing up all it no
01:02:40 --> 01:02:41 because God no that's not how that works
01:02:41 --> 01:02:44 yeah but it's where the ability of the
01:02:44 --> 01:02:47 Holy Spirit to empower me to go through
01:02:47 --> 01:02:49 these things and to see how he was
01:02:49 --> 01:02:52 working the whole time it gave me wisdom
01:02:52 --> 01:02:55 that I did not earn I I didn't I didn't
01:02:55 --> 01:02:57 have but it gave me the wisdom to there
01:02:57 --> 01:02:59 there's women all of my clients are much
01:02:59 --> 01:03:00 older than me and they're like Jes I'm
01:03:00 --> 01:03:01 sitting at your feet because I gotta
01:03:01 --> 01:03:03 learn from you I gota learn I gotta
01:03:03 --> 01:03:04 learn from you and I'm like well that
01:03:04 --> 01:03:06 wisdom didn't come because oh I was the
01:03:06 --> 01:03:09 most experienced or I had the most no it
01:03:09 --> 01:03:12 came because God put his hand on me I'm
01:03:12 --> 01:03:14 not it ain't me it's the Holy Spirit and
01:03:14 --> 01:03:17 if more women realized that and walked
01:03:17 --> 01:03:18 in their boldness and their god-given
01:03:18 --> 01:03:20 Authority they would see a lot of things
01:03:20 --> 01:03:22 like you said manifest not from the
01:03:22 --> 01:03:25 wicked witchcraft side but from God's
01:03:25 --> 01:03:26 power
01:03:26 --> 01:03:29 manifesting making itself a reality I'm
01:03:29 --> 01:03:31 tell it's amazing what we could
01:03:31 --> 01:03:33 accomplish and it's amazing what we are
01:03:33 --> 01:03:34 accomplishing and so I'm just hoping
01:03:35 --> 01:03:38 2025 like I can talk about but 2025 that
01:03:38 --> 01:03:40 you really don't focus on the economy
01:03:40 --> 01:03:43 don't you dare focus on elections who's
01:03:43 --> 01:03:46 in office like focus on what God wants
01:03:46 --> 01:03:50 you to do just focus on stop getting a
01:03:50 --> 01:03:52 part of all these wasteful conversations
01:03:52 --> 01:03:53 that people are having and they're not
01:03:53 --> 01:03:55 doing anything people have wasteful
01:03:55 --> 01:03:56 conversations always the first truth
01:03:56 --> 01:03:58 teller of the fact that they're not
01:03:58 --> 01:03:59 doing anything productive they're not
01:03:59 --> 01:04:01 doing anything nothing they're wasting
01:04:01 --> 01:04:03 their time and they and they will waste
01:04:03 --> 01:04:05 your time and so it's so important that
01:04:05 --> 01:04:06 we become focused on what God wants us
01:04:06 --> 01:04:09 to do we become laser focused on that we
01:04:09 --> 01:04:10 don't allow distraction to come in if
01:04:10 --> 01:04:13 they do come in we recognize them we
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14 cast them out and we get back on the
01:04:14 --> 01:04:16 saddle
01:04:16 --> 01:04:18 2025 whatever you've planned it can
01:04:18 --> 01:04:20 happen as long as God ordained it you
01:04:20 --> 01:04:25 know so I know yeah that that that
01:04:25 --> 01:04:26 sometimes I get frustrated because
01:04:26 --> 01:04:28 people come and look at me and they have
01:04:28 --> 01:04:32 these ideas of of of me and you know the
01:04:32 --> 01:04:34 Holy Spirit tells me a lot of times it's
01:04:34 --> 01:04:35 like it's not your job to change their
01:04:35 --> 01:04:38 opinion no it's your job just to walk
01:04:38 --> 01:04:41 and if if their self-esteem somehow
01:04:41 --> 01:04:43 feels lowered because of when you speak
01:04:43 --> 01:04:44 it just means that you're there to help
01:04:44 --> 01:04:47 them raise it I say okay my job is to
01:04:47 --> 01:04:48 help you raise your confidence because I
01:04:48 --> 01:04:50 should make you feel any less I should
01:04:50 --> 01:04:52 make you feel like you know what boom
01:04:52 --> 01:04:53 I'm I'm gonna be right there where her
01:04:53 --> 01:04:56 I'm G be right right there next to her
01:04:56 --> 01:04:57 and she can learn from me and I can
01:04:57 --> 01:04:59 learn from her and that's that's the
01:04:59 --> 01:05:01 kind of attitude that I'm hoping to
01:05:01 --> 01:05:03 bring even more in in this year I love
01:05:04 --> 01:05:06 it I love it Chico's coughing and
01:05:06 --> 01:05:08 probably passing gas I'm sorry so
01:05:08 --> 01:05:12 professional but I'm so excited and I we
01:05:12 --> 01:05:14 we end this strong and we we don't have
01:05:14 --> 01:05:16 no more time but I am gonna go back and
01:05:16 --> 01:05:20 watch this I mean and and it because you
01:05:20 --> 01:05:22 said a lot and I want to recap it all
01:05:22 --> 01:05:25 but you said a lot um especially with
01:05:25 --> 01:05:27 how we have to be intentional in this
01:05:27 --> 01:05:29 season about who we allow to pour into
01:05:29 --> 01:05:32 us and what we receive and being able to
01:05:32 --> 01:05:34 recognize it and be able to recognize so
01:05:34 --> 01:05:36 we don't have our time wasted and we can
