My sister's name is 我是, Thomas Adus.

Is your son Xiao Na fitting room for him tonight?

Missed?

Yes.

I am doing well, that's how to stand up, you know, this is after my bad time, but I'm happy to be here. Angela, we still haven't met yet, but I just appreciate all the different things that you do, because you allowed me to be on your platform a number of times, and I'm very, very appreciative.

Hey, man, amen, well, I think both of you guys were being in the building tonight. Tonight, we are talking about walking in purpose, unapologetically.

So I want each one of you, I have a couple of questions that I'm going to be asking you guys, and I just want you to share your perspective, share from your heart that you want to share with those that are tuning in tonight.

And if you would, Ms. Monique, if you could just share what walking in purpose looks like for you.

And also me walking in purpose means that I don't know what God has suggested me to do. I'm not just, I only, you know, just blindly going through life, being reckless, being unproductive, and all of that.

For me, I know that God has called me for purposes. This is what I'm here today. I do not see myself being here. The things that I have gone through, all of those pieces were put together, before I was told that I made a move to bring you to this place, where I can now speak to the nation and tell you,

that God has a purpose for your life. It doesn't matter what it looks like in your outer circumstances and things like that. It does not negate the fact that God is a different college where you're like, all of the other pieces, and you are required by God to fulfill them and to the day of Jesus Christ. So that's what walking in purpose looks like for me.

So can you share with me what was a defining moment where you realized that you were truly walking in your purpose?

I would have to say, it was after I, you built my life off the ground through a traumatic divorce due to the next imbalance.

After I went through feeling suicidal and having to be in a psych ward on psych holes for 24 hours, I was like, no, this is not the life God pregister for me to do.

And my grandmother raised me in church, even though she wasn't fully in it, at the time she raised me in church.

And so the word was already in me and going through that process, I asked God to take me out like, no, this is what my life is going to be like.

I need to take me in my case now, psych it so we could just go ahead and, you know, speed up the inevitable.

And a little amount of time allowed me to be there, and he said, no, you're not okay with it.

I need you to be here. I need you to tell other special needs, Bob and other women who got me to be there, you can't overcome because I made a way of escape.

You can tell your story, even the argument part.

So you test the one. So that's where it all started.

Missed describes same question. What does purpose look like for you and what was a defining moment when you truly realized that you were walking in your purpose?

Well, that's a really really good question.

Starting young, I would go to church at 9 or 10 years old, teach a Sunday school, teach an adult Sunday school class.

And at that particular point in my life, I was on fire.

But my faith wavered because of my whole situation where I thought I was doing everything that I needed to do.

I started being a son, doing what was cool. But it seemed like my dad was a very straight guy.

And it seemed as though the restrictions he put on me, I didn't understand.

So I think a teenager and a young man, I don't know if I was angry with God, but I lost my faith at that time so I drifted away from all the things that I had done when I was young.

And it took me a number of years of going through different things, raising hot children, being married, being divorced, being addicted at one point, being located.

But all these different things culminated in being from New York to Georgia.

And my turning point really came when I was in an apartment, barely enough money just to get the work.

And to put gas in my vehicle, I was messing up that, those things.

But God finally got my attention when he took all the other trackings of life away.

And then I began to listen to them. So at that point, my life became a change that we connected with my children.

My life started to be blessed a little bit, not anything big, which is little things I noticed about me and my growth and my relationship changing.

I got back into the church and moving through that, took me to a point where in my early 50s, God blessed me with the gift of writing.

And I started writing poetry at 51. And just from there, I know he has his hand in it.

Because from that point, I now have four published books of poetry at each bookage.

A journey of beginning to publish in the story and testimony and itself.

You know, returns to the church, Thursday, and just growing.

It's a day to day grind. We know that the type of times you live in, but I understand where my health comes from.

I understand that I'm still growing and I'm not where I need to be.

But my mind has taken on a different mindset to know I'm not there, but I continue to work hard and continue to work on getting there.

So I've heard both share some experiences that you have experienced on this journey.

I want you to pick one experience and share how that experience helped your purpose evolve over the years.

I want to start with you, Mr. Scrib.

Okay, one of the turning points that I could see. There are a number of them.

But this one really stands out. There was a time in my life that I was addicted to crack cocaine.

And I was living a double life. I was being a family man, or he's in my family.

But on the other side, I was doing things outside of that.

And there was a place that I ended up going to one night.

And the gentleman just approached me out of nowhere.

It was in a apartment building at the basement where you go around the back of the apartment and go down where people were just moking and getting eyes.

And he walked up to me and said, you don't need to be here.

And I'm looking at him strangely because of all the different places.

Romney picked me and started talking to him.

After that side, I knew that that was God speaking to him.

Kind of telling me, when it was my life going, what was I doing?

I knew what I was doing was the right.

But I really needed a wake-up call.

And in that particular night, I couldn't get high at all because that judge me.

Even though I stayed there for a while, I just had to leave.

And the next night, I was planning on shaking that off and going back.

But the Holy Spirit came to me.

And that moment, it said, go go.

And at that particular point, I was obedient.

And the place was raiding.

So had I been there the next night.

I possibly, most likely, would have worked my job, worked my income, probably worked my family.

To probably ended up in a totally different place than what I am right now.

Now, I took me a while to circle back from that.

But that to me is a moment that stands out in my mind of where God double left.

And at that particular point, it's one of the pieces that I remember when he definitely stuck in.

And knew he had my back.

Even though I was still kind of turning away from him.

Wow. Wow.

And Miss Monique, if you would, same question.

What, I know you shared a couple of things.

But what experience, what experience mostly shaped your journey over the year?

I would say it had to be in 2021 when my grandmother and my sister died to be apart.

That was the moment where I don't think my face had ever been shaken and true to that moment.

So the point where I was not sure if I was going to walk with God anymore, or even believe him.

I know we did a show previously to this.

So you kind of know the story.

We were prepared for my grandmother. She was almost 90.

So we got prepared as for her transition.

But my sister, I was brought by it.

And I was like, God, why did you do that?

You didn't heal her body and all that.

So we fasted and prayed and things like that.

And it was one of those things where I was just stuck in time.

I was doing everything.

I was smiling at people.

You know, still going to work, still doing good.

But on the inside, I was literally numb and black.

And that was the deciding moment where I can't realize, listen, life at some point, your dash is going to be over money.

And either you go on leave, the way God has predestined you to leave, or you go back.

And everything ain't easy.

Like now.

Everything ain't easy.

The God is placed within you.

You're going to die with you.

What are you going to do?

And it was after I'm almost through the darkest grief of my life.

And God had me hang up with grief as a gangster.

I didn't want to write a best.

And I didn't want to talk to nobody.

I didn't want to do anything.

But God had me to write grief as a gangster.

Pretty much very muscle.

And I'm grateful for that because at some point,

you're going to have to live the faith that you keep talking about.

It's easy to talk faith.

Oh, you have to live it.

And you faith that death told the talk.

They had either you go put up or you're going to shut up.

That part.

That part.

So that kind of goes into my next question.

What does it mean to walk in your purpose unapologetically?

I know sometimes we feel like we don't just earn about ourselves

because it seemed like the world is against us.

And we're having to fight for our purpose.

And that we know that we are called to faith.

You know, I keep telling people, you know, if you're not putting in the work

and sometimes it seems like you own this journey by yourself.

You putting in all this work.

And it just seemed like ain't nothing happening.

So what does it mean for you to walk in your purpose unapologetically?

Without excuses, without anything.

What does that look like for you, Monique?

I am who I am.

I am 217.

55.

Whatever God thought we could be.

Whether you agree with the light doesn't matter.

You know, whether you, you know, your opinion doesn't matter.

I'm still who God called me to be.

These are just quite about ourselves now.

Because let's be honest.

We got ourselves there's a lot because we don't see those things

that God has placed in us.

And this is why we have to go through childhood chagulation.

It is pushing us closer to our purpose.

And so me being unapologetically to me,

what I call unapologetically to people called me top of this.

And I'm going to be on the job.

I used to call her.

I don't call me that.

Because I feel like I wasn't living up to that.

Don't call me a minister.

I know.

I'm only just calling me more of only.

And God, check me.

It's like, excuse me.

Do you think you don't want people to know?

Are we in a secret relationship or something?

And I had to repeat.

Girl, I was like, oh no.

I am profit is money.

Where am I going?

Some people call me profit is.

Some people call me wrong.

Other people like my plants and things like that.

Because they'll see what God's place to me.

They call me a fossil.

And that's who God is calling to be.

So hey, that's who I am.

24-7.

Whether anybody likes it or not,

I have to do what God is calling to be.

Because I'm going to stay alone before God.

And give an account as to what I did or didn't do on water.

I can't worry about what you think.

Just because you don't believe doesn't mean

that I am not the person God is calling to be.

And does not mean that God is not really

if he doesn't exist.

That means you're blinded and you're injured.

And you need God to say he does all.

Well, you talking to me tonight, honey.

Because I'm telling you,

they always say,

minister, evangelist, pastor.

And I'm like,

I'll be looking around like,

who was they talking to?

Can't believe me.

I'll be looking around like,

who is they talking to?

Like, uh-oh.

I'm not looking.

Well, he's still working with me on that.

I don't want that.

Now, I accept Proud Warrior.

Look, I accept Proud Warrior.

I accept that one.

But the rest of them,

I'm like,

it comes with a lot.

But he dealing with me.

He, he, he, he.

I thought the company's on.

He dealing with me.

He dealing with me.

Mr. Skry.

That's what you got comfortable with.

You know what?

And I have.

But guess what?

He has made me uncomfortable.

Um, in, in, in this year.

Um, he has put me in a place where I can't be comfortable.

You know, and I know that he is yet working and he's yet doing some things.

Um, yet I press.

But he, he's yet working too.

And, um, yeah, he had me in a place where he's dealing with me.

But I, I'm unapologetically about the things that he's calling me too.

You know,

I know that I supposed to be walking in those roles and those titles.

And, um, he's dealing with me.

Mr. Skry.

What does it mean for you to walk in your purpose unapologetically?

Well, you know, today is a, that's a big question to being a man.

Being a black man.

I walk on the, just unapologetically.

And my purpose is because.

Just, you know, I'm leading to the Bible right now, right now,

and I'm in the book of numbers.

And I started on January 1st, reading through it.

Not that I haven't been to the Bible before, but this is the day spoken.

Uh, chronological journey that I'm on right now.

And meet me in unapologetically.

I've earned.

We all have information.

And the difference with, with believers is that we understand that we have a simple nature.

But we mean on God.

And we know that he looks at us.

And he doesn't exist.

And he doesn't exist.

Because we're causing him the blood of his, the sacrifice of his son.

So being that as the name, I walk with boldness, I fully trust in him.

And if I'm putting certain places where I may feel nervous,

why I may feel uncomfortable, all I do is escape.

I'm not in my whole street.

God is standing with me.

And he's giving me the Holy Spirit to guide and direct me.

And he gives me wisdom.

All I have to do is just ask for him.

He's always there, but I have to acknowledge him.

I have to believe that he's there.

And that's what gives me my unapologetic, regardless of what other people think.

Because he's changing my mindset.

Yes, I see the good in people.

Yes, I listen to people's stories and meet them where they are.

But we need to understand.

We're looking at the times of prophecy.

We're living at the time where, right before I hide, things are happening around me.

And a different generation is going on.

We're living in a generation where the Bible is always in real.

But even more so now, we're all the things that we stand around them.

So unapologetic, you know, I know about all of the things that he went through

and how even as strong as he was in the faith, he still struggles.

And I look to those side books, things that I lean on to know, you know,

they crucified Christ and they would take the head.

You know what he's going to do with the whole.

So why not be bold?

Why not be unapologetic and be strong in our faith?

And when people mock us or make fun of us, we know that he went through that.

So if he can go through it, we know we're not going to be perfect.

But we know that he understands what we're going through because he endured it.

And that's what keeps me unapologetic and keeps me humble.

Not to think that I'm better than anybody else.

Just because God is giving me a different, I'm no better than anybody else.

The one day I'm going to have to stand before him.

But I understand the identification of the responsibility that he gives me even if it's a small thing.

He's smiling at somebody who is sharing my faith with somebody.

It doesn't have to be a huge big thing.

But as long as I'm walking with him, I know I'm on the right path.

Wow.

And we share one thing in common.

We both are poets.

Tonight I have prepared a poem for you guys that I want to share with you guys.

It's called Unapologetically.

I rise each day with the sun on my skin.

Unfolding like petals brave while within.

I'm not the echo of anyone's fears nor the shadows of yesterday's tears.

I move through this world, shoulders unbought, unshaken by judgment or whispers allowed.

My laughter, my scar, all woven and gold, I wear every story unbroken untold.

I am soft as the done and fierce as the flame.

Not here for approval or fitting in the frame.

I carry my history, my pain and delight.

They feel my purpose, they color my light.

No more shrinking small to fit in their space.

No more hiding truth or masking my face.

I shine incomplete.

I speak all my names.

I am who I am through the thunder and rain.

So let the world wonder let critics deride.

My spirits unruly, my soul open wide.

My courage, my compassion and my audacity.

Each day I choose to be unapologetically me.

And that's that piece.

You know, I'm not sat in a, that's awesome.

That's that, that's that, that's that.

That's so beautiful.

I was there there.

So did you know what that is?

I know that this very moving and this you me, your piece on a polygenic.

I opened up one of my books and I have a piece as well that's peace to be in our polygenic.

If you don't mind if I can read it.

Yes, please.

Okay.

This one is, and I just opened up the name of this book of life between the words, which is my third book.

And this one is called Blessed Sadness.

Lonely body was here.

Why is Sadness impressing me when happiness has me in her embrace?

I know my father loved me, spirit forward, the flesh gravity now.

Black in the suit of earthiness, brightness hidden behind the darkness, searching, just searching.

My niece of being provided, yet life's reign is raging.

Not soft chocolate that's food and caress, but hard-helping glass that sting the skin.

Fitting the body and making a negative heart, safe from the ground is horrendous.

Though we've been with life's beauty as present, but can't be felt when the mind is focused on the storm,

moving to reach the edge of the chaos, continuing to move into perfect.

Becoming to understand that this moment is necessary, to purging and releasing of the pain.

But what happens when the storm is raging and destroying?

Precious things all alone, never to be seen again, swept away in the wind.

The claims of a notion that circumstance is a temporary.

This guy will open up.

The creature is a blue, populated with the softness of light.

Happiness is the reward, which sadness is endured when it is passed through.

And that's that piece.

So y'all are tuned in to walking in purpose with Angela.

And I tell you it's going to be worth that sacrifice on tonight.

I want you to go ahead and call in.

We are doing a shout out.

It is called the purpose shout out.

So if you know someone that is walking in purpose unapologetically,

no matter what they're doing, if you know they're walking in purpose, shout them out tonight.

Let them know that you see them and you want to encourage them to continue on this journey.

So now we're moving on.

We're moving on to overcoming obstacles because we know that on this journey that we're on,

trials, tests, and tribulations are going to come.

These weapons are going to form, but guess what?

They won't prosper.

Tons are going to rise, but they will be condemned.

So we know that things are going to come at us.

So overcoming obstacles.

Was there ever a moment when you almost gave up?

And what kept you going?

We're going to start with Mr. Scraps.

What was that moment that you may have given up on?

And what kept you from giving up?

Boom, man, how's going through my addiction back when I was living in New York?

Interesting that I was overwhelmed because I was living two different lives and trying to balance both,

but was losing or both having issues at home and trying to stay away from the temptation

that kept dragging me back to the doctor.

But God always was there.

And I had a friend, my mother would always let me know she could kind of spend when I was going through different things.

And she always praised me.

A lot of times she didn't have to tell me that she was, but I knew that she was the one she got sick.

By that time I had relocated to Georgia and I would go back to New York where I could

really not really try to take care of it just a bit, but as much as I could, my sister was still in New York.

She was my mother's primary caregiver when she started diagnosed with cancer.

Then she took a intervention and then all that.

And it was transitioning from being in the speech of every day, every day I would drive home from work,

and we could do that conversation because I was gone at home.

It goes from that to she didn't know who I was or she saw me as a small child or a little boy

because the dementia had settled in.

And our communication changed.

She'd be lost a lot of weight and became very frail.

And to see her like that, it didn't really make me want to give up my faith.

But I did question God because it was like, wow, you know, my father had passed away.

And my mother's still here, but she's really not here, but she would have fallen.

We are high for light up and I knew she would be there.

And then our eyes would get go.

And she would stay back until the old time was right before she had.

But then I had to think about it.

He gave me that time when I was able to bring her to the church that I had joined.

And some of my poetry was inspired by just the relationship that we had.

And my faith was, I was thinking, but I still remain strong because I leaned on him.

When I was beginning weak and questioning why and trying to do what I was supposed to do

and why is this happening to me, rather than going through the self-pity,

I just thought that on all the things she did and she prayed and she intervened for me

and helped me when I needed it, gave me that faith that I needed when I felt that my life was falling apart.

And just being grateful for those things helped bring me through.

But it wasn't through my strength.

Don't get me, don't get it, don't get it twisted.

It was God providing me with what I needed at that particular time.

Not just my physical being but my mind as well because the enemy was attacking me with full force

but saying things to me like, why are you serving God? Look what he's doing to you.

Look at how you're like this. Look at all the things that he's throwing at you.

If it's not worse you wanted to believe. You need to just go ahead and do what you want to do

and live your life the way you wanted to live.

But in the back of that mind all the things, all the conversations as she poured into me rose to the occasion

and I always felt brought all those things like the light tension

and I basically was like, get behind these things.

You know, you're trying to trick me but I'm not going to fall for it.

So those were times where I was in dark places that time

but just the thoughts of things that she's done, the things that the Holy Spirit brought to my being

got me to those difficult days.

Amen. Amen. Faith.

Faith because I tell you, it will be tested on this journey we call life.

Monique, what was the moment where you may have wanted to give up

and what kept you from giving up?

I'm going back to this again, going to my divorce and living in that shelter

like I was on drugs or something. I was in the shelter for women

but they ran it like a drug shelter. So I had to be in a house a third time

I had to do certain things by a third time. I was being controlled.

I was like, no, no. I was embarrassed because I had been in a visa relationship.

I did not know what equally good meant because nobody was honest enough to tell you

what it really means and what it really looks like. So I had to walk through it.

And so here I was, young mother, two, small, bullied, one with cerebral palsy

that I didn't really know nothing about and I'm about to become a single mother

just like my mother was and her mother, which is all the things that I did not want.

Oh my God, this is what I pray for and that's to be like that.

That's to go through the things that they went through and that's to be.

And that's I did the right thing. I was like, I heard my son father did all that

so we would be assuming stuff like that. I did all of that.

So why? Why are you allowed me to happen?

And at that point I was like, Lord Jesus, just ended.

And so if he wouldn't, I started doing stuff and I would get,

I would just end up either dying by accident or whatever because I was so angry.

And you know what, my husband had become an inverse by it because here I was a Christian.

And the Christians give the roles. The Christians, you know, were going to be some relationships.

The Christians, they've been in the homeless shelter and everybody's shouting,

they're getting it, they're being bullied, they're leaving me and my kids are the bus stop.

God, where are you?

And that was the moment for me and it was like, God was like, I've been here the whole time.

If you would have told to me, I would have told you what you needed to know.

And that was the defining moment for me when I really heard God voice the first time,

you know, for the first time that I recognized when He told me that my life had a purpose

and that He loved me and I could live and I would be fine if I, you know, followed Him and obeyed.

And from that point on, the rest is literally history.

Wow. Amazing.

And I know one thing that me and you share in common and that is domestic violence.

I am a survivor, shop point blank range for the South off shotgun.

Never thought that that would have happened to me.

I am also a suicide attempt survivor.

You know, I wanted to unallow myself so many times because of situations and different things

that I was experiencing.

But one day I realized that, you know, he keeps saving me.

So he has a plan for me.

You know, there's something that I'm supposed to be doing.

And I remember December, it was December 2012.

And not knowing that I was going to experience the massive violence two years later.

But when that, that, that, that Jeremiah 29 and 11 was dropping my spirit.

I just began to just speak it over my life and just began to apply it to my life

and even going through domestic violence.

You know, I realized now that I had to endure that so that I can be able to do the things that I'm doing now with individuals.

You know, sometimes we don't understand when we're going through things while we're going through.

But he know everything about us because he created us.

He knew what we would be able to endure and everything that we have endured.

He knew we would get through it because he already knew what the end was going to be.

So I counted our joy.

I counted our joy.

We have column number one in Q.

And Mr. Stribes, you wanted to say something.

I'm sorry.

I thought I heard you wanted to say something.

I just wanted to commend you women who, it seems to be in my life, that what I've grown.

You know, yes, I've met the brothers that were strong in the faith.

But you were there.

You had a faithful y'all.

Y'all walked for something else.

And I thought both of you to go through what you're going to do and to deal with that.

I hear my being a man.

I can empathize with what you're going through.

But I never, you know, being a man.

I can't think of anything that goes through domestic violence as well.

But the fact that God brought you out on the other side.

Because I read so many different stories of so many women.

And you know, as a being in Georgia.

So many women that it was amazing.

They don't make it out.

But they got analyzed by people that they thought that they cared about them.

And that's why my heart makes that time.

Because if your state or God will show you things.

It will keep you from walking into Thursday.

Yes, Thursday you go through and you make it to the other side.

But you can tell all the people about it.

And there's so many times that I see people moving into situations where if you just open yourself to who God is,

you keep you safe.

It will protect you.

It will watch over you.

There's so many times the act of life motions.

We know we're sinful creatures by nature.

And it's only through the blood of Christ.

That transformation starts.

And I see so many people just going down that road path.

And I know I can't save everybody.

I know I wouldn't even try.

But in my way, I can talk to people.

I pray to God if He could put me in situations that I can use my poetry.

Or I can speak as a man.

To talk to other men.

To talk to one.

Be to the side.

Be to the right flag.

Be to the things that look out for.

And you guys living through what you live through.

You have a testimony.

You have a story.

And I know that you share those stories to other women and other people in general to get them to understand.

God shows you things.

It should be.

It's because we talk to you.

But if you heard your heart and don't want to listen.

You may end up in situations that you would never want you to be in.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We have calling number one.

In cue.

Calling number one, if you would please.

Stay true, name.

And where you're calling from.

Along my darling Angela, it's Abe Ahali calling from just outside of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

And I must have up all my strength tonight to come on and support you.

And your amazing guests and co-hosts, just the stories are unbelievable.

You know, we all have a story.

Everybody has a story to tell.

We were talked about this on the show the other night.

And I say, you know, you got to write a book.

You got to get your book out there because somebody is going to relate to your story.

You know, your story may not be for everyone, but it could be for someone.

You know, first of all, I'm going to give a shout out to Simeon and Hugo.

She's an international fashion designer.

I'm trying to get her up on the show, but she's always traveling.

She shows our line in Christ country.

And she is a cancer survivor.

And I am a cancer survivor.

We were diagnosed in the same week.

And she has a type of skin that doesn't heal well.

So as I went through one major radical surgery, she went through six already.

And she's still fighting the fight.

You know, when no one has promised tomorrow, so I, you know, found out I had cancer.

And I was going to do radical surgery to get rid of it.

I didn't know what was going to happen after that.

So I don't know that I thought about giving up, but I definitely didn't know

if I was going to make it out of the hospital, even though we caught the cancer early.

I was under the knife for 12 hours.

So I had no idea.

But I guess it's not in any of our nature, you're either Angela, Dr. O's, to give up.

Because we have to be the ones that step forward for other people.

We have to be those victims of light in the change we want to see in the world.

You know, I am, I, back in 2009, early 2009.

I started my business in late 2008.

And early 2009, I lost my mom, my dad, my brother-in-law, and my daughter's grandfather,

and my father-in-law at the time, leaving me for a couple months.

And that was before I found out I was crazy.

I mean, I have just been going on stop to bring awareness to different charities,

to bring awareness to what killed my mom, to bring awareness to what I've been through.

So I don't know that there's a way that we stop doing what we do.

You know, I often question what happens, but I have faith, and I pray every day.

And I keep going.

I mean, right now we're going through a lot of things too.

And I know a lot of people are.

And again, everybody's story may not touch everyone, but it will touch someone.

So thank you, Angela, for all the opportunities you have put in front of me, for Dr. O,

for this platform on the Story Network.

And God bless you and your guests tonight.

Amazing stories.

Well, thank you for stopping by and sharing your story.

If you would, please tell those that are tuning in, who you are, and winning your next show.

Sure.

So I'm Eva Holley.

Again, I'm right up side of Atlantic City, New Jersey, for the time being.

And our next show is coming up on March 11th, the casual chat, 9.30pm Eastern.

We are going to have International Internet Hall of Famer, Jerry Petito on the show.

And a surprise guest in the entertainment industry.

So we're excited about that.

And then we come back on the Story Network to pod beam on March 28th with Sinette.

And we are wrapping up the series, the colors of music.

So thank you, Angela.

God bless you and your guests.

And I love you guys.

Thank you.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing.

Again, I tell you.

We all have a story that this life that we live is a journey.

We've never been here before.

So everything that we experience, you know, the words that we should do greater works.

And how would they know the greater works if we don't share it?

So it is very important that we share our story.

You're talking to somebody that has over 100.

The last time I checked, I had 161 literary works available through Amazon,

Blurb, Matt Cloud.

You name it every possible outlet that you can purchase a book through.

I try to utilize it.

And I try to share my story because I don't want nobody telling my story.

I want people to know who I was and what I did in my perspective.

And I didn't know anybody else's perspective.

But we have another color, y'all.

We have color number two in queue.

Color number two, if you would please state your name and where you're calling from.

Yeah, my name is Vanetta.

I'm actually one of all my school friends.

And I'll use my first time actually listening to the show.

And I just want to stay counted all the joy.

And I am grateful just to, you know, we've been friends for a very long time.

But some things that she said that I didn't know anything about, you know.

And I think her statement was a powerful statement as well.

But to me, my connection with, I call it is, I didn't know.

You know, but God, you know what I'm saying?

He walks us through our darkest time.

I know he woke me through really, really dark times in, you know,

no vibration situation, but I put myself in it.

But God is.

I felt like I was saying, you know, I'm on my own spiritual journey.

And I'm finding out different things about me.

But God is.

He's everything.

Beginning, whoever the leadership you have, God is.

But I really, really, I just want to thank you for inviting me to listen to your show.

Because it has actually reignited something that I love.

I mean, once you get triggered or you get hurt or hurt bad enough,

you shut the door.

You don't even bother.

It's too painful.

Not nothing is there.

But you really, it brings back to just the fire that I have.

I'm not saying it's burning.

It's just getting out of fire.

But I want to thank you.

Thank you both.

I'm really enjoying the show.

And that's what we supposed to do.

We're supposed to be able to, I said, and that's what we're supposed to do.

You know, we're not supposed to let that flame go out.

You know, sometimes it may get, it may get dim.

But we're not supposed to let it go out.

That we're supposed to be helped makes one to another.

You know, and my desire is to be that change that I want to see in this world.

And how do we do that?

We have to show up.

We have to be willing to, to share what we've been through.

Because you never know who it may impact.

You know, who lives it may, what nugget they may be able to take away.

You know, everybody may not be able to take everything that we say away.

But there may be something that was, was spark something inside of someone

that will get them back on the right course.

You know, I, uh, yeah, I was thinking.

I'm sorry.

Go ahead, sweetie.

I was thinking how close your store is assembling.

You hit one button because it's not, you're not out.

Is it?

Well, you're in the box of ringing.

You just about to get your light knocked out, but yet you still got it.

Right?

Like what?

Not gravy.

I'm going to some dark spaces that you would not even believe.

For God's sake.

Even though I'm walking through the shadows of death.

I've seen no evil.

Come on.

Right?

So that's, that's my story to add.

You know, I'm just grateful.

I'm grateful.

And what's your name again?

My name is Vanetta.

Vanetta.

Well, thank you for calling in.

Miss Vanetta and sharing with us on tonight.

Um, you definitely.

Huskies.

You, you definitely, um, you definitely, um, have, um,

sparked something within us, too.

As well.

Um, by pressing that, um, star two and coming on and joining the conversation.

Um, we thank you for supporting on tonight.

Thank you.

I love you.

Monique.

Do you have anything you want to say to her?

Miss Monique.

Profit this.

Oh, you look, I'm already crying because I didn't expect there to call it.

We return.

They're back with universities.

We need to change it.

We need to have students just together.

Nine days to get together.

And up until then one of them is going together.

And then they are going together.

And now, we separate.

We have some teachers that are stuck together this year.

And we have opportunities together to speak out of things

so we have to do one thing so you can communicate to each other.

We will.

my body doesn't go show up,

neither is going to show up.

And so I love her and appreciate her

and thank her for supporting me

as always supporting me, whether she's out in the whole

front or in the background.

Thank you so much, I appreciate you.

Hey man, hey man.

So I just wanna share this because God is so strategic

and he's so funny, he's always in the mess

because I prepared these questions.

Our next question was about impact and inspiration.

So this was our next set of questions.

So we definitely know that by us just showing up tonight

that we impacted one person if we didn't impact nobody else.

So again, I'm grateful and thank you

for a person that started to join in the conversation.

So my next question for you guys,

who inspired you or influenced your path the most

and what lesson did you learn from them?

Start with profitists.

I was very afraid, are you going to ask me first

because I was trying to think about it.

Um, wow, that's a great question

because I've had so many, but outside of my children,

I would have to say my great mother

who was God to be with the Lord,

watching her and her pouring, you know,

pouring into me, she was an ancestor.

So watching her lay on her face to face,

they played, watching her face to yellow and stuff

and soup broth because she determined to get close

to the God and bring generation of curses.

You know, those kinds of things still stick with me

to this day and when I'm going through my darkest day,

I remember her, you know, praying and seeking out.

It's sometimes just sitting there just humming,

sitting in her rocket, she just humming to the Lord.

She was one of my biggest supporters.

She was there for every single thing that I went through

until, of course, she went home for me with the Lord.

So that impact that she left on me

and they'll see the righteousness has already taken root

and a lot of the things that she has prayed for.

And he was both in some of my life when she was here,

has now come to pass and I wish that she could see it.

And so I honor God because she raised me,

she's my father's mother.

So that's the test of money all in itself

because you know what they say,

mom would baby, pop it maybe.

So God sent me up from the very beginning

because he knew my parents needed that type of support

and that type of help.

And boy, was she something.

She was definitely praying.

She wasn't just a mother, she was a grand

and she was a grand mother.

I honor God for her life and all that she deposited in me

because now I get to deposit it in my children.

Amen.

Amen.

What a test of money.

Mr. Skrye?

Yeah.

Well, going back to my youth, I can remember the opinions

of the doctors that I grew up in,

the source of this day, they've all transitioned.

But I can remember the point,

there's a love of God and to be,

and be here today is a super special.

Even when I would go back to New York,

I would always go back to the church

and always look him up because he, to me,

and inspire me to read the Bible.

Even when I moved away from it, you know,

and I'm confident too, you know, when you still see,

the time of those days they brought it,

but they never leave you.

And they have the ideas, when you put them in the ground

and you pull water on them, and they broke the time,

you don't water them, but eventually they want to grow.

For all those things, when I was a young man,

they put it in me, and even later in life.

They sprouted, but I have to pay them,

my father became as well, because she always,

she never told me, I know she prayed for me,

but we shared how many patients,

before she got sick, and she'd be shared with me.

And how many times I prayed to you,

that you were going to just not have to do,

but hearing how verbalized it really at home.

And again, I'm not saying the cry,

but here's the joy of the month of the year.

I let the tear flow, you know,

but to realize the certain thing that they do,

oh, they're supposed to be this way and that way,

but we got you to be anyway, you know,

you can be yourself, because he knows you already,

but you have to know that, you know,

a lot of times people don't understand just how,

people don't understand who he really truly is.

Just like we have in the conversation tonight,

and I'm getting to know populist tonight,

being here for the first time,

and so we have a physical event,

but I know you from our conversation that we have,

that's how our relationship with God should be,

where we can just talk to Him,

like I'm talking to you guys,

and you'll see to us, sometimes it's verbal,

and sometimes it's non-verbal,

but I would say the people in my,

in my youth, that political need,

my mom, that political need,

and even though my dad and I had a,

the logical relationship,

before he passed, we became very close.

So those are the things that I know that God is indeed,

and said, I'm gonna bring you guys back together,

even though I couldn't see that ever happening.

So just those things that I can take in between,

that I can remember those moments

that really impacted my life.

My, that is amazing.

I tell you, I think that there were a couple people

on this journey that inspired me.

I tell you one person in particular

that influenced me in a major way,

and that was my physical education teacher,

my PE teacher in eighth grade.

She saw something in me.

She put me on the JV basketball team.

I never played basketball before a day in my life,

never thought about playing basketball,

didn't know how to do that, the matter of fact,

every time I touched the ball, they blew the whistle.

But she saw something in me,

not knowing that she was gonna be the very person

that was there for me when I lost my mom two years later.

She drove her personal car to every basketball game,

so that she can take me to the hospital after the game,

so that I can be with my mom

when my mom was transitioning.

So she really impacted my life

because of her seeing something in me.

I was able to get a scholarship.

I was one of the first females in my family

to go to college on an athletic scholarship.

I went to junior college for one year.

I did not like it, so I ended up in Atlanta

at a HBCU Morris Brown College,

and I played at Morris Brown.

Didn't know nothing about the HBCUs

because they just didn't talk about it

when I was growing up from where I'm from.

So I didn't know nothing about HBCUs,

so I was working at hearties,

and I would go to work in the mornings,

and I would come home,

and I would just start calling colleges

because I said, you know what,

I gotta get in somewhere

because I just can't let this talent go to waste.

And I thank God for Steve Daniels.

He's also someone that inspired me

and impacted my life because he gave me another chance.

When I walked away from the scholarship that I had,

he allowed me to walk on to Morris Brown.

He gave me a scholarship,

never seen me play a day in his life.

All he asked me to do is to go out there being here

and to play in the summer league

and meet some of the girls that was on the basketball team.

And that's what I did.

And I'm grateful because they impacted my life.

You know, they allowed me to break

some generational curses in my family.

No, at that particular time, I didn't graduate,

but since then, I have received my bachelor's

and I'm working on my second master's.

So it was those things that were instilled in me,

you know, no matter what I experienced,

I didn't let the flame go out.

You know, it was something always keeping it lit

whether it was flaming high or it was low.

It was always something that was keeping it lit.

So we're going to move on to the next question.

The next question is, and we're going to start

with Prof. Monique.

How do you hope to inspire others,

especially those who may be struggling

to find their own purpose?

I hope that something that they read in my books

inspired them.

And I hope that if they ever see me in public,

get my actions and my behavior inspired them.

Or, you know, because sometimes we've got a problem

as you just, you know, we might be having a bad day

and things like that.

And I'm hoping that even if they see me having

a nightful Thursday that I'm still exhibiting

the level of God in my attitude

and how I talk to people and things like that,

you always want people to see the same view

that you are when there are no families,

you know, when there are no interviews

and things like that.

So I'm hoping that we want to go away

or even encounter me in person, you know,

because I'm a people person, I talk to everybody.

So, even if they encounter me,

that I have a word of encouragement to give them,

whether I feel like it or not,

because, you know, we're going to our own things,

the flesh and the last thing

and what they encourage anybody.

So, you know, what being mindful that wherever I am,

the God is in me and with me,

and that I always have a word to give someone.

So that's why I hope to inspire others.

Amazing, amazing.

And, Mr. Shrives, what about you?

How do you hope to inspire others?

Mr. Shrives, I think that's what I'm going to say

in reference to my law,

just for people to see, you know,

when they look at me, they see something,

not me, not like Ego or anything like that,

but they think it's just something

about it, about a spark in conversation.

You can do about my poetry that I recite

or the words that I speak to them,

that they, and I truly believe this for me,

that they see, when they see me,

they want to know more about me

and process to who I serve and why I am the way I am,

which will spark a conversation.

And that's just that he used me to his glory

and not for mine.

That part, that part,

because he's giving us all gifts and talents.

And I say that everything that we do

should point back to him, the one that created us.

So that's what I want.

I want people to be able to see him and me

and not me and the flesh and allow my journey

to inspire them to educate, to empower

and encourage them to stay on this journey.

We call life.

And how do we, how do we do this?

We can't just be out here just doing anything.

We have to be walking in purpose.

And how do we walk in purpose?

We got to love more.

We got to inspire more.

And we got to have the fear of God

while we are educating and powering

and encouraging others along this journey.

We call life.

That's how we live this life that we are on.

So with that being said,

we gonna keep the conversation going.

We y'all often hear me talk about creating

and leaving a legacy.

And I have to give a shout out to Brother O

because I never thought that I would be doing broadcasted.

He has allowed me to come on this network

going on six years, April would be six years,

another month, y'all.

Not even another month, it would be six years

that I've been a part of this network.

You talking about a country girl

from Levoland, South Carolina, born in Anderson,

but raised in a small community called Levoland

that people never heard of.

But to think that I will be a part of a network

and not only that be inducted into the International

Internet Radio Hall of Fame for Broadcasting

and elected to be a lifetime achiever this year.

So I'm just honored.

And I thank God for the opportunity.

And for him touching Brother O's heart

and him seeing something in me.

And it's all about creating legacy

and leaving that for others that are coming behind us.

I wanna ask y'all two questions.

The first question is, what kind of legacy do you hope

to leave through your work and your story?

And I'm gonna start with Mr. Strops, if you will it.

What kind of legacy do you hope to leave through your work

and your story?

Well, my all my work is faith based.

You know, all my work is faith based.

So when I'm no longer here that my word

will touch people and resonate with them

to know a little bit about me

but to know through my struggles

who I lean on, for my strength, for my sake

for all the different things that will be through

that they see that do my work.

And that I remember that as a matter of state,

not perfect by no being,

but always striving to improve

and always striving to serve

and always trying to protect me to be a life

in a world that we know is still a dark.

Exactly.

And profit is...

For me, I believe that my legacy has already started.

And I'm still here, sorry, on a go for that.

Our books and our podcast and things like that

has already gone to the advocacy.

Remember the Bible says our words have come.

So our words that we've already released

has already gone on into the atmosphere, take a root.

And so it's going to go to where it needs to go

and it's going to do what it needs to do.

Why we're still here as well as when we're gone?

Because legacy is not just about what you did,

what you did, but it's about the fact

that you did live through it

and you were able to tell the story.

So at the end of the day, where my dad shows up,

because, you know, that's an evidence.

Well, my dad shows up.

I wanted to be said that I lived,

that I lived what I wrote about.

I was transparent.

I advocated.

I loved the way I wanted, you know,

the way I wanted to be known to return.

I showed Christ love the way I believed He wanted me to show it.

And for my son to be proud and filled with inspiration

so that they tuned before the head

and what God is calling to do

because they saw their mother go through the fire

and the flood and God brought her out over and over and over again.

Wow.

So y'all know I got another point for you guys.

Call legacy envision.

But I want y'all to tune in.

I want y'all to press that start to call in.

All you have to do is dial 605-562-0444 or 717-734-6904.

Press the Essex code 546-115-0.

And then you press 1 pound to enter the studio.

And to join the conversation,

you're going to hit that star, too.

I'm going to share this poem.

And then we're going to get back to the conversation.

So the poem is call legacy envision.

I plant hopes like sea beneath the restless earth,

dreams that tremble, waiting for the sun, and honest birth.

Let every word I speak, each gentle deed I give,

etch kindness and courage in memories that live.

Beyond my given years, I see my vision forth,

a river of understanding, of love, of growing worth,

not for stone or feeding praise to where my name so bold.

But the compassion quieties and hearts that I consoled.

May my laughter linger softly on a grandchild's hopeful face,

may forgiveness bloom in gardens that have tended with grace.

I dream of bridges built where division tried to reign,

in healing hands extended in the shadows of pain.

Let my struggles be a laddering to the wanderers behind.

May they find a flame of purpose where I once was blind.

And that's my story settles gently with the dust in brace.

May others walk their paths with vision, with mercy, with grace.

For legacy is not a marble, nor entrophies, bright,

but the lies transformed by love and dreams

rekindled by night.

So I walk today with vision and tomorrow's seed I sow.

Trust in the future, harvest for every light I grow.

And that's that piece.

It's called legacy and vision.

So would that be in sand?

What piece of advice would you give someone

afraid to step into their purpose?

What would it be?

Profitist?

Do it anyway.

Do it anyway.

Because what you don't realize is I'll

just on college that our poverty tension has an attachment

to other people.

And for other souls that were meant to hear,

it wasn't just for you.

And if you do selfish enough to keep it in a hole in it,

and the people that were the socks of you,

won't get healed of the liver, not for you, which

is what your assignment was.

Whatever God is called to do, your assignment

comes with people, places, and things that come with blessing.

It comes with favor.

It comes with all of those things.

But if you change not to do it, then you all

get to experience it.

And neither were the people that in the society.

So it's much bigger than you.

If you don't open your mouth, your family bloodline

will say curse, because God has called you

to be the curse breaker.

If you don't say no to it, the person that you used to expect

that you did not know that you would go

at the impact as you started your podcast,

and what's allowed themselves, this is how serious it is.

And this is why it's important for us to be obedient.

If you say yes to God, yes in the absolute.

It's not a yes with condition.

That means you fully agree with what God is going

to do in your life.

So obedience is not optional.

If you call yourself a Christian,

and you go out to follow the laws of God,

obedience is not optional.

This is why you have to do it anyway.

Amen.

And Mr. Strives, what piece of advice will you give?

I just have to echo what Monique said,

sacrifice, obedience, or sacrifice.

You have to know that obedience is spoken to you

to give you what you need to be doing,

because you'll know what's right.

You don't know what's right and wrong.

When the God gives you a purpose, it's like the talent.

You know, the one increase the talent,

the other one, thinking, oh, I'm just very glad it leaves it.

You saw what happened to him.

But the thing is, is that being the person

of shame, we have to be that light that's up on the hill.

The Bible says you can't, if there's a valley,

nobody can see it.

But if the light is on the hill, everybody can see it.

And that's where we're supposed to be that light.

Even if it's going to burn us,

we still should be the light regardless.

And like Monique said, it's up to us.

Because God didn't hold each of us accountable.

And like, if he gives us a gift,

that you don't use it, you won't have to answer for it.

And that's not serious, it is.

We know the consequences of rejecting it.

We see it.

We see it on the hill, out into the world.

But what we're seeing is the absence of God.

And we do it in order.

Because we're not even just in the world itself in the church.

We see God's Word, manipulated, converted, twisted,

in all those different days.

We know what the truth is.

And by being into the Bible,

and you know what that truth is,

when it's being falsified, or when it's being twisted,

we see it.

We're not supposed to act on it.

We're not supposed to, we're not judging anyone.

I don't have a problem pointing out in a proper way.

That's not biblical.

That's not what they are talking about.

That's not what he's at.

There's too many people talking on one side

and forgetting the other side.

Oh, God loves everybody, which is true.

God loves everyone the way they are.

That's not true.

Repentance.

I don't hear that.

I hear a lot for it.

But I don't hear the repent part.

Exactly.

People want to serve God the way they want to serve them.

Oh, God is outside of space and time.

He created us from just speaking.

He created all the things in the Bible to bring us back

to heaven.

That old, the whole biblical verse is when man fell,

what God did to bring us back to heaven.

The Bible had both sides of the father, the love of sacrifice

of being in the sun and the flesh,

but the other side of punishment.

And people want us to get that part.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

Yeah, I was dropping some nuggets tonight.

We got column number three in Q.

And column number three is our new intern,

two, the WBNN Welcome Miss Yalanda Mitchell Taylor.

Thank you, and good night.

How you guys doing?

Beautiful, beautiful.

So I'm loving everything.

I just wanted to end today.

A lot of people run from pain, but you usually

find your purpose in your pain.

I know I did it.

I was just sometimes you let the go through something

that you weren't looking to advocate for something.

So some of our campaigns, you go pain-pring through

into your purpose at times.

And also, you have to go through, you

have to go through situations without that God

next to you.

But you know, if you can't testify by going through it

as a graphic thing, you'll never know the power.

You have before walking in the presence of the Lord.

So remember that you've got to go through a test.

They have a testimony.

And you're going to go through a message to have a message.

And breathe what you're going through.

Because you know that you know that you know that you know

that you're going to be all right.

You want to make it on the other side.

Of course.

Exactly.

Exactly.

I tell people all the time that test is only for a moment

that you can have that testimony.

That your moment may be five days.

It may be five years.

It may be 10 years.

But it's only for a moment that you may have that testimony.

And it only come to build your character, to mold you,

and to mend you, and to who he already know you going to be.

Ah.

He just wants you to align.

He just wants you to align.

That's all.

He just wants you to align with that that he's already

mapped out for you.

It's already mapped out.

He told us in Jeremiah 29 and 11.

He didn't drop us out of the sky.

Y'all, he said he declared that he had a plan for us.

And it was the props for us, not to harm us,

for us to have hope in the future.

So his word is not going to return to him, boy.

He's going to watch over that thing,

and too, it's perfected in our lives, that he may be glorified.

He said everything is going to work together for all good,

that he may be glorified.

Ha.

So if you would miss your lambda,

we want you to join the conversation.

Have you experienced a moment when you knew

that you were walking in your purpose?

Yes, right now.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord.

And what was that pivoting moment that made you feel like you

were doing exactly what God has placed you here to do?

Right here, not in this opportunity,

because from childhood, I believe,

like, you know what I should be doing

when I wanted to do where my calling was.

And I had heard what I was giving up on that as a happening.

So I am, so I think God's going to work

in my first infituations.

Hey, man, hey, man, hey, man.

Well, I thank you for pressing that star, too,

and joining the conversation on tonight.

If you will, please tell us when will you be on?

When will you be on?

I believe my spiritual age to read.

I know I'm on next month, but I don't know

particularly as of yet.

Hey, man, hey, man.

Well, I definitely look forward to tuning in and supporting you

and seeing what your journey is going to be here on the WB.

And then I tell your brother, oh, never, he never ceased to amaze.

He always picks some amazing individuals.

So yet looking forward to tuning in and seeing how God yet used you.

So we have some more call us.

We have some more call us in queue.

I think we're on column number four, column number four.

If you would, please state your name and where you're calling from.

I know Angela, this is Diana's piece of calling into the portrait show.

I kind of wanted to answer one of the questions you had from the illustrious,

but when you were asked me.

I mean, you can answer one of the questions that you've heard,

and I may still have another question for you.

OK, OK, let's do it.

I don't remember the exact way it was phrased,

but it was something about how you, I guess,

walk an apologetically in your purpose, something along those arms, right?

Yes, it was.

What does it mean for you to walk in your purpose unapologetically?

Yes.

So for me to walk in my purpose, it's not a thing,

and it means there's an automatic, like, breathing,

and like a heartbeat, right?

But you see things that God wants you to see.

And you're in the right places, in the right town,

so that you can, you know, you can work.

Not only that, it has an applied awareness,

and as wording is a nickname, it becomes, like,

normal, like, less known through your name.

OK, and you become an unapologetic voice.

You don't ask for permission to do that work.

You don't seek your evaluation from other people.

I think that's a lot of common that we have in this world.

We're always looking for somebody's ability

and what we're doing all of the time.

Well, God, like, somebody spoke me with one comment.

It's such in my head, when God speaks to you, not everybody hears it.

So there's so many times I've found this with wood.

And somebody's like, oh, you shouldn't do that.

Or maybe somebody's wrong with me.

And they're like, oh, I wouldn't talk to that person.

But how do they know that God didn't talk to me?

And somebody that I was supposed to communicate with this person

to bring them to the light.

Sometimes, we don't put the right people all

with things that they do to talk about

that we are putting a position to bring that person

to be a better person to bring them to the light,

to bring them to the God, right?

So you know, you have this, you can have this unshakeable

awareness, right?

Where you see the strength, but you don't need to pull them,

right?

And you could use it to bring more goodness in this world.

Instead of trying to use it to dominate everyone.

The power is loud.

You don't see me found it's not loud.

But we're flaky, but it's deep and it's still.

So walking in my perspective is to know that God

to use giving the power was a need to, you know,

affect hands in this world.

If we do, on this network, where all of us have,

sometimes we say, we might have said one little small thing

that seems like somebody from the rest of their life, right?

And a lot of us, even me and sometimes I know

as we overcomplicate things, but just thinking too much

and just not letting God lead our lives.

So no matter what we do, it got us in the forefront of it.

And we present first, we are always walking in our presence.

And that's what I feel.

Wow.

That's amazing.

I do have another question for you really quick.

If you could tell your younger self, one thing

about purpose, what would it be?

Again, I guess it would go back to what I just said,

which was not needing the validation.

I was a type of person where 99 people loved me.

And yeah, one person had a problem and I had to fix it, right?

So I was too busy trying to be something,

you know, that everybody agreed upon.

Personally, just being myself, the person that got me.

So that way, when I'm around somebody,

like that person might not have, you know, the mentor.

No, when I was able to finally become friends with the person,

I realized I was terrible there, where that was, you know,

that rejection was gone, that's a fiction, right?

And then at some time, I would go back and I would tell myself

that I don't have to listen to other people's.

When they come to people who are wrong for me in my life,

you know, that it's okay to embrace them and show them love.

The things love that God has shown us.

I wouldn't feel so guilty about it,

because we'll be planning so bad,

because I'm very, very, very forgiving, you know,

but I also can, like, touch you out.

But I never, I never knew you had the things done

when it comes at times.

But I would, I would tell myself to be brave

and just allow God to really work with my life

and not worry about what anybody thinks is unusual.

You know, I would say a lot of people

need to go there for unusual forgiveness.

Maybe things that people would have cut somebody else all for

when I was able to go back and change that person

by because it's the love that I've shown them.

So I would tell my younger self, it's okay.

Because look at the changes, look at the,

how it was impact you had is still many people's lives

because you still was going to like that.

So that's what I would say to my younger self.

Wow, it is.

If anybody wants to reach me,

or I didn't, but you know,

if anybody wants to reach me,

I don't have to see anything,

I'm, I'm fiance on a speech.

I'm a former host on this network,

my show will call the power of salt.

But now I'm retired if you want to reach me,

you can raise me on the Facebook or Instagram

and ask me radio.

Thank you, Angel, I need to look great show.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing.

As she shared, she is a retired host.

She had an amazing show here where she poured out

the power of thought.

I tell you, she brought some powerful things,

dropped some powerful nuggets.

She is definitely miss, but she'll tell you,

she don't miss calling in and supporting.

That's what we do over here on the WBNN Beverly Nation.

We truly support each other.

We call in, we support.

I tell you, I may not press that start to all the time,

but I'm definitely listening.

I'm always listening in the background.

And I thank Brother O4, this opportunity.

We're going to get ready for our final thoughts,

and then it's going to be in gozy time.

As we prepare for our final thoughts,

I want Miss Monita in her closing.

I want her to share about her being a finalist

for the Women Changing the World Award on Disability

Inclusive Impact, if she would, as she close out.

And Miss Describes, when you close,

if you would just talk about the impact

that poetry has had on your life, and what it meant for you

to be nominated for a poet of the year

on behalf of aspiring office magazine in your closing.

So we're going to start with Miss Monique.

I would like for you also in your closing

to share how individuals are able to connect with you,

how they're able to follow and support the things

that you are doing, profit is Monique, and floor it shores.

OK.

OK.

For the WCW changing the World Award

Followers out of 1,500 nominations from 97th country,

I have been named as one of the finalists

for the Disability Inclusive Impact Award.

We won't know who wins, of course,

until later on this year in April.

It is in pairs on the 21st due to 24th.

I will not be there, so I will be joining virtually.

So we're really excited about that to be included

with so many other powerful women from all over the country

with indeed a shock and a blessing.

And so I honor God for my name being

in the role of the people that I have not even met yet.

Some of you have not even tried with two.

And this is what legacy is about.

We talked about this earlier.

This is what legacy and impact is all about.

So I'm grateful just to be named, you know,

nominated.

But in closing, I am all over social media.

You can follow me.

I am Monique, dual, DGBL, everywhere.

You just typed in my name to Google.

You'll see everything.

My books are all Amazon grief of the day.

Third clear, give a CTR.

Jeremiah, the Jack Riley.

How do I handle especially these child handicapped moms?

This is our learned, observable calls me.

And so thank you for allowing me to be a part of the show.

I appreciate it.

It's always a time with them.

It is.

And I thank you for your willingness to always come

and to pour and to so seize and to share

and drop those nuggets.

Just thank you for being a blessing.

Mr. Schrobs, if you would.

My iconic words would be, as a writer,

don't be afraid to pursue what your talent is.

People know what they're passionate.

So you need to think of leap of faith and pursue it.

And as a writer, the only way that you're going to get better

is to think about how this may get better at anything

and have to practice.

So connect with other people.

Social media makes it easy to just step out there.

But make sure that you know what you step out.

Because there's a lot of negative people out there

about a childhood care dream.

So be very picky.

When you pick a circle of people that you share with,

you'll know all those people out by how they approach you.

I'm on mostly older social media platforms

about books run and done.

I just got my books with this bookstore

in the county's Georgia call.

The books they accepted my books

and my books are in this story as well.

And without the media email,

I would love that conversation with people.

My events of all social media, I'm doing something.

I'm here in Georgia.

So if I'm doing anything locally,

you can come check me out by email addresses

and hollerway.scrides.

And gmail.com.

Reach out, connect.

But then you're working in the big day

and especially amongst believers.

We need to keep our family strong

and we need to encourage each other.

We did it just for me,

but we know we're all part of the family.

So let's keep this day connected

and let's reach out to encourage and fire

and we edify each other.

So that would be my part of the story tonight.

Hey, man, hey, man.

Well, I definitely thank you guys for joining me on tonight

and your willingness to share.

It is and goes the time.

For first of all, I want to thank all of the folks

that come out running here.

This is Ryan's and Marie.

Three stories tonight, you know,

catamole is the faith and power and purpose.

You know, it's been one of the greatest gifts

that I like to call, you know,

and to commit a life of achievement to the hall of fame,

you know, to the international end

that radio hall of fame.

Six long years, the car, the ultimate champion.

And you've been one of the greatest gift

that I had brought back.

I want to thank her for what she's always done for me.

A third-ranked commissioner in a hard time in 2020.

Well, we didn't know who's all those artists

as she stepped in and won the greatest

of the commission as a redundant network.

And we have some great commissioners,

but as the comments may be,

and we'll keep the commissioner,

the first thing we'll keep the commissioner,

I'm her proud to call her now only

of working at the parker, you know,

but also by the end of pranks

and one wonderful person to be able to,

I cannot say help alone the way, you know,

the great song by my Helly Jackson.

If I could help somebody, as I pass along,

if I could cheer somebody with a word or song,

if I could show somebody that's traveling wrong

than my living or not in vain.

Thank you, Meliam, for I'm also the DJ.

Congratulations to Aswin Thomas Smith on her 77th,

don't you be in an all-time connection record?

What does our Lee Lawrence Championship

honor in our Lake Creek Hall of Famers?

We always do, love you, darling, may you rest in power

and for consecutive, the Fair Championship.

And fit all time in the only Hall of Champions.

We come back on Sunday with a number Hall of Famers,

enshrined me, that her name is,

Dr. Cecilia Janicia and the name of the award-winning show

is News4, key to the anchor of our network.

Neither the Easter Day Lifetime

on the one end only, family nation,

a lot of people say, wait a minute now,

Dr. O, you don't come all the way tonight?

Nope, my parker.

Do you be parker?

Right now is a parent for another home

on a service, her 13th and left the two years

of a family member.

And in honor of her, she's, you know, she's helped me

and I helped her.

The show can't be the groove without her.

So I won't be doing any shows tomorrow on part B.

We'll be back on on next Saturday

and yet I'm gonna give you all, finally the tribute.

So I brought her, Michael Archerstein,

which you all know as the Angela.

Yeah, I'm a bride, I got the balance track,

it's banging, I'm telling you,

we're gonna honor him in a white light,

a real smooth soul music.

No such thing as real soul.

That was, that was coined by, you know, white races.

It's called R&B Soul Music, not Meal Soul, okay?

So stop saying that.

You all right, it's R&B music, can't set it.

And then if I don't have a problem with it,

LW17, as you know, that kind of thing.

30th and 30th and 30th,

it's not until it goes to time,

I need a table of school,

we'll get the Grammy Act for another quarter,

or a dollar in the label and goes get a book.

Any kind of shit that's done,

we'll have a program tonight.

Oh, lay, day, lay.

That goes with my angel, I got my hand.

You know, my man's father's favorite

dooster, Dr. LW17, the LW17,

a 45-year-old university,

Michigan State Corp. University,

and Lonnie and daddy, baby boy.

A wonderful kind of thing, you're not good enough.

So all the folks out there in R&B for Australia,

are told just as there was right now in the Gulf,

one from some horrendous days.

You must, if soldiers and families end this,

still call campaign,

my heart goes up to the mother's father's,

why, husbands and children was their loss.

If that 2014 R&B has been a part of the baby,

baby, so again, all of our soldiers and families,

our R&B radio, that always support us

on a constant basis.

And now, until exceptional activities,

the 20th and 23th,

I know what that award wouldn't for estimate,

that they've been in communications hopes of a year,

the 20th and 23th, international,

in that radio hall of a broadcast in Inshriny,

but in Excel City, the 20th and 26th,

international in that radio hall of a broadcasting,

lifetime of chief or program,

Anderson, South Carolina,

one of the young ladies and also,

a provider of the crew podcast,

at many, many platforms around the world,

outstanding angel of women.

Again, shout out to Brother O for the opportunity

to allow me to be a part of this amazing network,

shout out to those that are a part of the crew podcast.

And I have to give a shout out to my special guests

on tonight, Prof. Monique and Mr. Schryff,

and all those that have tuned in to the WBNN here tonight.

None of this would be possible without you guys

supporting the network.

So we thank you for tuning in and supporting us

day in and day out.

Thank you.

I will be back in four weeks, April the 3rd.

I will be back here, same time, same place,

different guests,

but I'll be here doing the same thing that we do.

Again, I thank you guys for supporting.

Know that you are the change that you desire

to see in this world.

Change begins and ends with you.

Go out here and understand your power.

You are positioned to be an overcomer

by being the will investor to educate and power

and encourage others through your resilience.

Know your power and walk in it unapologetically.

Y'all be blessed.
