Speaker 3Protect your energy, protect your heart, protect you at all costs.
Welcome to Perspectives Bank.
Today, I got my dog the Queen.
I'm gonna call you baby d Dombnique, baby D in the build.
Speaker 1How you doing?
Speaker 2I'm awesome.
Speaker 1How you feeling?
Speaker 2I feel amazing.
Speaker 1Where your energy at?
This is what I always ask.
Speaker 4Energy is at an all time high.
I'm in this place of rebirth and growth, and I.
Speaker 1Feel good what they consist of.
Speaker 4So I'm transitioning from security.
I'm going into vibe creating.
I'm focusing more on my mentorship.
I'm just seeing what's next for me.
So I'm really excited about life right now.
Speaker 3Okay, let's let's go back to your journey.
Let's start from the beginning first, before you jumped off the porch.
Speaker 2Okay, let's see.
Speaker 4I am originally from New London, Connecticut, small small, small town, only black girl in my school.
My dad, he was in the Navy, So we end up in Virginia.
Now I'm with the black kids.
So you know, I went through this weird identity crisis.
Almost I was too black for the white kids and too white for the black kids.
Wow, I really didn't have a place, so I want to say till maybe like twenty five, I struggled trying to figure out who I was.
I went from the private school, good girl to the trap like thugging, thugging, thugging.
So that's how I ended up in security, got into a fight, lost my nurse and license.
The club owner was like, hey, you beat these charges.
Speaker 2I seen you.
I got a job for you, and it just it took off from there.
My first client was Beanie Siegel.
Speaker 4Randomly.
He met me at a club.
His sister had problems getting in, and.
Speaker 1I, yeah, I did what I did.
Speaker 2Listen.
They was giving her so much hard times.
Speaker 4I'm like, do you know who she is?
Like you got your mind?
I'm walking her inside.
I bucked on my boss everything.
Speaker 2Oh oh, I.
Speaker 1Thought you to my beans.
Speaker 2No he was.
Speaker 4He was performing that night and they had left his sister at the door trying to let her in and not buck and he walked a inside.
Speaker 2He's like, you brought my sister and I'm like yeah.
He's like I like.
Speaker 4You you got something to you?
And I'm like Oh, I ain't think nothing of it.
It's been a story in my life.
I do things that are major and don't think they're major.
But from there, he was like, I want you to drive from me.
So I drove for him that weekend and people were like, Bean's.
Speaker 2Got a girl driving him around.
She got to crazy and just took off.
Speaker 1So he was in Philly with him too.
Speaker 2No, I was just here.
It was just in Virginia.
Speaker 1Okay, yep, And that's what he was saying.
He was staying.
Speaker 2No, he came into the show.
Speaker 1Okay, okay, I came and performed.
Speaker 4At the club, and I'm sure to him it was nothing.
But for me, I opened the door.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, yeah, he gave it.
Let you it solidifies it to yourself.
Yeah.
So yeah, so you went to the military.
Speaker 4No, my son is in the military and my dad was in the military.
Oh, I didn't go.
How are your son, he said, we're about to say seventeen.
He's nineteen.
Now he's a big boy.
He's in the Marine Corps.
So I'm super proud.
Speaker 1It's your only kid.
Speaker 4Now I have another son.
He is on a federal vacation.
Okay, it's been there since he was sixteen, he'll be home in September.
Speaker 3In an adult ADULTA okay, and you say so he ain't had to whoop no ass at the private school.
Speaker 4Oh god, no, I was scared to fight.
I didn't know I could fight.
I didn't know I could fight.
So I got hit in my mouth and it was like, oh, this girl just I had never been in a fight before.
Wow, first fight ever in my whole life.
I was twenty four years old.
Speaker 3So how did you start, Like when you become became like security, how did you how did you bring that out?
Speaker 1You know what I'm saying getting hit at all time?
Speaker 4Yeah, that one time it unlocked that dog in me, I guess, and it was like it, don't play with me.
Speaker 2Don't play with me.
Ever, I ain't big for no reason.
Speaker 4And it was crazy because I transitioned from being overly aggressive to being kind of calm and quiet with my aggression.
But when I first started security, Oh please, I would knock and everything lose.
Why Yeah, I was like I'm not just a pretty girl, like, don't play with me.
Speaker 3So how you how you think just your military upbring with your dad being in the military, how you think that shaped Like?
Speaker 2So for me, it was more my mom.
Speaker 4My mom and my father that got married when I was like eight or nine.
He's my stepdad, but I consider him my dad.
But my most influence came from my mother.
My mother was a cractions officer.
She worked her way up the ranks.
Speaker 2With that.
Speaker 4It's always been hustle and grinding work, male dominated fields.
It doesn't matter that you're a woman.
So that's where I really got that from.
My dad gave me the discipline and the training like early he you know, developed my love for firearms, hand in hand combat, that type of stuff.
But my core came from my mama.
Speaker 1Okay, and your mom is black, your dad is.
Speaker 4Blackm it's Panamanion.
And my biological father is Jamaican, So.
Speaker 1Yeah that Jamaican ja.
So how did that play a roleing like you'll come up?
Speaker 4So my biological father was not in my life.
Unfortunately I didn't get to meet him.
He died before I did.
That played a major significant role for me in life.
I like I said, my identity crisis, I'm like, my daddy didn't give a damn about me.
He ain't cared nothing about me.
But let me prove my point, Like you should have been around, and that was the driving force for a lot of things I did.
I rebelled a little bit, you know, because I felt like my mother wanted, you know, the pretty private school girl, the debutane, and that didn't really fit me.
So I felt like, yeah, like I think I identified more with my daddy.
I think I'm one of them.
So yeah, it was like really finding figuring out who I was.
Speaker 1So so when you finally figure out who you was, what role did you want to take on?
Speaker 4I figured out who I was when I became a mother.
That really put me in a perspective like, Okay, this role means more than any other role that I've played over the years.
I've decided that I'm a nurturer.
I'm a protector, but I don't have to be angry to be a protector.
So I've learned how to lead with love and grace and I'm more gentle.
So yeah, I think one thousand percent I'm a protector.
I'm a nurturer.
I'm like the Amazon women.
I'm one of them.
That's what I was created to do.
Speaker 1So So what you did, because you got two bulls, what you did to make them respect you?
Speaker 2So my oldest son I did not raise.
Speaker 4I had him very young.
His grandmother raised him.
But my youngest son, that's not my best friend.
I found that with boys, when you communicate, it makes life a lot easier.
I didn't have to beat on him and you know, be rough with him.
We was, for lack of better words, we was nigga and nigga.
Amen, it's me and you ain't nobody else.
Speaker 2I understand.
We got different makeup.
Speaker 1But we got this.
Speaker 2We got this like I'm not gonna lie to you.
Don't lie to me.
Speaker 4And when I say, that's that's my dog, my youngest son.
We're two peas in the pod and I thank God for that.
Like our relationship is tight.
He don't lie to me about nothing.
And I can strongly say.
Speaker 1That, how long you been in Atlanta?
Speaker 2For about to be five years?
Speaker 3Okay, So so did he?
He came to Atlanta, which that's why he got in trouble down here.
Speaker 4No, my oldest son, he got in trouble in Virginia.
My youngest son has never been in no trouble.
Speaker 1Oh so who uh?
Which one is in my oldest son I didn't raise.
He's in jail.
Yeah, which one is in the Navy Marines, a marine son.
Speaker 5Oh okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, So you're oldest is how he's twenty one?
Now, okay your young nineteen?
Okay okay, okay, okay.
Yes, oh so so the baby boy he had in his business?
Speaker 4Yes, he he don't play.
I'm so impressed with him.
I feel like I did a good job.
Speaker 1So what's some things you do to try to mend your relationship with your oldest son?
Speaker 4Since we talked more, I really had to wait till he turned eighteen.
I joke and say I'm a baby daddy because I'm on child support.
Wasn't allowed to see my son.
If you don't want to be with me, you can't see your son.
Like yeah, mother, And it was like, oh you don't want to be a wife, you can't be a mother.
And from seventeen when I gave birth, until maybe about two years ago, we didn't have any conversations, any interactions.
He went to prison.
I knew nothing about it, and a friend of mine was locked up and he called me like, hey man, Malachi in here.
I'm like, what what you mean?
And from there I hit the JPay like you know, I don't know how you feel about me, but I'm here whatever you want to know.
Don't ever think I didn't love you, never gave you away.
I never chose one child over another.
I pray for you every single day, and by the grace of God, he was receptive by.
Speaker 3You going through that in your own life.
Did that kind of give you a little forgiveness and grace to your dad?
Speaker 2A lot?
A lot.
Speaker 4I think a lot of times when we mature and we really look at our parents as humans before parents exactly, we're really starting to understand everything's not cut and dry.
It's not always what you think it is.
You know, they think they feel just like.
Speaker 1Us, and shit happens.
Speaker 3Yeah, So why you tell my son when they were younger, like, when you get your own, bitch, you gonna say.
Speaker 1Change?
Speaker 3Yeah, so so so so basically you got forgiveness.
Speaker 1You gave forgiveness through won't and forgiveness.
Speaker 4Yes, yeah, that's something I live by every day.
I tell my son, I tell my friends, I give the grace that God gives me, and it makes it a lot easier for me to understand people and tolerate people, because good people do bad shit, you.
Speaker 3Know, So what you what you feel like the main thing you gotta do to like not winning him over, but to get him to understand and not resent be honest.
Speaker 4Yeah, even when honesty is embarrassing, when it's painful, when it's awkward, when it's uncomfortable, honesty trumps everything.
And it's like, you may hate me, you may never want to talk to me again, but you can't say I lie to you.
Speaker 3That's real shit.
You're gonna respect me.
The truth gonna make him respect in fact, So back to the to the bodygun.
What's the most like the weirdest moment you had.
Speaker 4Oh gosh, let's see.
The weirdest moment I had was recently I shot Could Have Been Love with Drewski and we were shooting an elimination scene and Meatball she's, you know, well known in the influencer community.
Speaker 2She was a contestant on the show.
And she was like, I got a pee.
I got a pee And.
Speaker 4They're like, no, we're filming, We're a filming.
She's like, fucking I'm about to pee.
She's stood right there, Pete, right at the pool ten fifteen people plus production and.
Speaker 2I'm like this girl, just Pete.
Yeah, it made.
Speaker 4It into the edits on the show, and I'm like, did she really just stay in here and pete?
But it was hilarious, and one thing I appreciated about her she understands that comedic response.
So to her, She's like, I'm gonna make y'all laugh, And I'm like, girl, so.
Speaker 1What was that moment that you had a little fear like spooks you?
Speaker 4I recently had that moment.
I think a lot of times I turned off emotion for work.
That's what's made me so good at my job.
People always connect women with overly emotional responses, so I've prided myself I'm not responding emotionally.
But recently I had a random drive by happened while me and my client were getting food.
He wasn't the target, he didn't have anything to do with it.
We were just, you know, end of the event, letting our hair down, and these young guys came through sprayed us up twenty two shots in like thirty seconds.
Speaker 1They were shooting at y'all.
No, they were just shooting.
Speaker 4They were shooting.
I believe that they were in the wrong location, to be honest, because what we were doing had nothing to.
Speaker 1Do with anyone anybody else over there though.
Speaker 4It was people like neighbors.
It was a guy walking his dog stopped at the taco truck.
Speaker 2You know.
Speaker 4It was it wasn't an event.
It was just, you know, a gathering of folks.
And in that moment, I immediately went into crisis response.
And I looked down and my friend was shot, my client, which is also my friend, and he's bleeding out.
He started turning gray, started falling asleep, and I was like, oh, yeah, no, not on my watch.
So I pulled a bullet out of his arm, put a turn achin on him, started singing the ABC's started praying, yelling at him, wake up.
Speaker 2We ain't going to sleep, what you're doing, what we eating when we leave here?
And it was like.
Speaker 4I was terrified because all I could think was I can't let this man die on my watch.
Fact, I've never had a situation with a client where it got to that level.
Speaker 2I've been in plenty of shootouts.
Speaker 4I've had plenty of times where I've had to get a client to safety, but I've never had this happen.
And it's like, you're scared, but you can't be scared because me being fearful make me make a mistake.
I can't make no mistake because I got to make sure he go home.
Speaker 3Do you think that that incident played a part of you just ending that journey right now?
Speaker 4I have been back and forth with whether or not I wanted to leave security for a while, because it's what I'm known for, it's what i'm good at, it's my comfort zone.
But it's like, okay, God, you keep giving me these signs.
Now you've given me a drastic sign.
And I feel like a lot of times people don't pay attention to the little signs.
They wait till it gets big, and I don't want it to get no bigger.
Speaker 3So how do you know when it like just being by the good?
How you know when to have empathy or when to use for us a chill or let him have it?
Speaker 1Like?
How do you determine that?
Speaker 4It's instinct?
It's like parenting.
It's like you never really know exactly what to do, but you know what to do.
Right your baby fall down and skin his knee.
It's like do I cuddle you up?
And baby?
Speaker 2You do?
Speaker 4I tell you all right, It's a situation like that, Like, especially being a woman, I have to be very, very careful with how I come across, because if I'm too aggressive, you're gonna shut down.
Now I'm that angry black bitch with the attitude problem.
And if I'm too nice, you're gonna think you can fuck me.
So it's like you just you just have to fill it out.
Speaker 2You have to know.
Speaker 4You have to learn people.
One of the most important things about being a bodyguard.
You have to know body language.
You have to understand the stuff that's unspoken.
You have to notice when people look a certain way, when they move their bodies a certain way.
Instinct.
Speaker 1Yeah, so how is it dating?
Speaker 2Like?
Speaker 1You know you can?
Who got a and shit?
Speaker 2Like?
Speaker 1How did it work?
Well, nigga know you got a piston?
Speaker 2Ye?
Speaker 1You blucking how did it go?
Speaker 2Dear man watching?
I'm not.
Speaker 1You get mad like nigga.
We can hit it then and.
Speaker 4See what's so funny is I'm the opposite.
I've learned, like I said earlier, when I learned how to turn off that microaggression, I've learned how to calm my energy and be soft and be feminine.
My friend and I have this thing right now, we're living the gentle life.
I don't raise my voice and I'll argue dating is rough because most men either they think I'm a lesbian or they think I'm like baby D baby D like it's.
Speaker 2Like, no, it's not that it's chasing.
No.
No, so it's hard.
Speaker 4And then then like recently, I got into a thing with a guy because I value my business.
Speaker 2I value work.
I'm hustling.
Speaker 4I got plenty of time to lay up, but I got more time for this.
And before I waste time smiling in your face, I'm gonna go get you some money.
Unless you want me begging you for some money, I could pull one of these, you know, typical nowadays.
Girl moved, I need five hundred.
No, I'm gonna go get to it.
When I'm finished.
Then I'm gonna lay up and do all that cut ship.
Let me handle my business first.
That doesn't go over well.
Speaker 1It don't no what you think?
Sin's your apart though.
Speaker 2My character, I'm transparent.
I don't lie.
It's just that big aries on march aries, big aris.
Speaker 1Oh you say you just don't tell lies?
No to nobody.
Speaker 2I may lie to the people.
Speaker 3Get pulled over and asked you right here you've been drinking, Say yeah.
Speaker 4No, sorry, but my daddy taught me a lot of people.
You fear, I don't fear anybody.
Speaker 1That's real ship.
Lie to the judge.
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2But other than that, you like me.
What I'm lying to you for.
Speaker 1Exactly Now, that's real ship.
That's a bar.
Speaker 2Hello.
Speaker 1So what let me ask you some you have had one of these as an alema.
Speaker 4I don't know what it is with Southern men.
No shade to the Southern men, but I don't know what it is with Southern men.
They feel like you get a little spicy.
I can knock your side, your.
Speaker 2Head and it's cool.
Not Jack.
You said, yeah, I thought you said one of my holes.
Speaker 1I said one, I said, one of the holes like women?
Speaker 2Oh yeah, No, I rarely have problems with women.
Most of my problem were with men.
Speaker 1In the club.
What you do to them?
Speaker 2Fix them?
Right on up?
Speaker 1You thought it was so so like when you you worked in the club.
I have.
Speaker 4I've worked in quite a few Atlanta clubs.
I stopped doing clubs about a year ago.
But when I first got here, nobody knew me, and I used my connections with well known you know, security teams and bodyguards here to get me in the door in certain clubs.
I did kod you know, I ran it up running.
I ran through all these strip clubs around here.
I did a couple, you know, regular clubs.
I did Oak for a while.
Shout out to ant A lyric I love them daily.
But yeah, and it was never the girls.
Speaker 2Never.
Speaker 4I could literally be sitting mine of my business, not even involved in what's happening.
Speaker 1And the dude be like, what you finna do, big bitch.
Speaker 2Sir, oh, and then it's over from there.
They always want to try me.
Speaker 1It was one of the moments.
Speaker 4Oh, we have Future that night and it was loaded.
This was like at the peak peak future time, like Future had Atlanta on a lot.
They was charging ten k for sections like loaded, and dude, you know how these folks are when they feel important.
Yeah, you move the fuck out my weight, bitch.
Speaker 2Huh.
Speaker 4I'm like, yeah, nobody's coming this way.
If you're not Future, you're not walking past me.
One thing I've been known for with security, I'm I don't play.
I don't care who you are.
I don't care if you're a millionaire, I don't care.
You could be Kevin las If I said you're not walking past me, you're not walking past.
Sorry, I'm gonna embarrassed.
Please don't And I don't know who do was, but he attempted to spin on me and it hit the side of my shoe, and before my brain told me to, you know, de escalate, I laid his ass clean on the ground.
Speaker 1I'm gonna sue you.
Your god man, you went from against the seer.
Speaker 2Yeah, he was gonna sue me.
I'll wait on it.
Speaker 1So, so you're saying you about to be a speaker, Like, yes, what's gonna be your main topic?
Speaker 4I've been doing it for a while now, it just hasn't been on the big scale that God has put in front of me, like some doors have opened for me to really be heard.
But when I say I've been through everything, you can imagine when they say, you know, God gives his hardest battles to his toughest soldiers, like I'm the poster child.
I've been through domestic violence, my youngest son came from sexual assault, mental health problems.
I've been evicted seven times, I've been to jail thirty times.
Speaker 2Thank God, I'm not.
Speaker 4A feeling like God always snatches me up before it gets too bad.
And now that I understand that it's because he wants to make me relatable.
I could sit down and have a conversation with anybody about anything.
And it's like everybody nowadays is preaching this.
You can do it.
Speaker 2You see what I've done.
I'm still a work in progress.
Speaker 4So watch me for real, Watch me and understand that where you at is not where you have to stay, and it's nobody's fault that you're there.
Don't blame other people.
That's the biggest thing that I preach to folks.
Speaker 2Where you are.
Speaker 4Your choice has brought you there, and your choices can pull you out.
But if you continue to point fingers, he ain't gonna go.
Speaker 1Nowhere's still standing.
So you're saying you don't been through hell and back, man.
Speaker 2And what's so bad?
Speaker 4As I did it to myself, I didn't have to go through a majority of what I went through because you know, according to everyone, I was raised right, two parent household, private school, My parents got money on top of money, very well off.
Chose to jump off the porch.
I chose to start thugging.
I chose to sell drugs.
I put myself in those positions.
So it's like, yeah, I drugged myself through hell, that was your journey though, Yeah, it was thankful.
Do you regret anything nothing.
I don't regret anything, Like when I say I don't regret anything, even the moments when I was sitting in Hampa City jail praying they didn't tell my mama because my mother works in the courts.
Speaker 2I don't regret it.
It made me who I am.
Speaker 3How you think you gained the respect of like your coworkers.
Speaker 4By being solid.
I'm not the one you can pay for a gun.
I'm not the one that's fucking promoters.
I'm not the one you know, backdooring people for contracts.
That's never been me.
What I say is what I mean.
I lead with love, but I'm not emotional.
And like I said.
Speaker 3This cold, I lead with love, but I'm not emotional.
Y's and ship you say what?
Speaker 1None?
Go ahead?
Speaker 2I was saying.
Speaker 4So it's like, you know that typical woman thing, female security.
I mean, they're supposed to show up with nails to the God's lashes, fist full of makeup, not doing no work on the phone, flirting or I'm extra angry, extra rough, and it's like I'm right in the middle.
So I bake the men with this pretty shit and be like, oh she's so pretty, she's so nice, and like oh wait sure and play yeah I don't do.
Speaker 3So how do you How do you keep a woman from not being like just say, vincent a girl.
You know most women be kind of like, uh, she nig, she probably on that.
How do you like?
What's your approach to people?
Speaker 1Period?
Speaker 4I'm always friendly and relatable.
When I see, you know, the group of black girls walking up, hay.
Speaker 2Girl, your haircute?
How you doing today?
Speaker 4I didn't notice I did it until Aunt said it to me.
He's like, you greet everybody that comes to the door.
When I was working doors, it was never let me get your ID.
Speaker 2Hey, how you doing?
How You're not going go in here and turn up?
Ain't it?
Speaker 4And they're thinking I'm just being friendly?
But me and now I know what you look like, I know what you have on.
I've heard your voice.
I paid attention to your body.
And it sounds crazy to say, but even three four hundred people in the club, I know who you are.
So when they call and they say such and such happened, and that's what she got.
And I know exactly who you are because when you walked in last night.
Well, you walked in that night, I spoke to you, I looked you in your eyes.
We had a brief little interaction and that's helped me a lot.
Speaker 1So I know.
Speaker 3With just with the journey you got, I know it's probably do you got people that you mentor do you got people you talk to and try to help?
Speaker 4Shout out to Mama Camp.
She was dropped in my path and I've been working with her with wifey Me Mama Camp.
She has an outreach for young ladies and she's given me the opportunity to sit in with her girls and talk to them, and that's on my path what I and it's been amazing.
It's been fulfilling for me, Like I've touched in with some things that I didn't even know I needed to heal from.
Speaker 2But I love it.
Speaker 1Yeah, you wouldn't baby it to mentoring nobody if you ain't been through shit.
That's the word, right.
Speaker 3You can't so everybody be looking at their past and blaming themself for what they went through.
Speaker 1But you wouldn't baby to be great if you won't.
You know what I'm saying exactly.
Speaker 3I truly believe that that's why I do this ship right here.
It's like, I'm just telling my story.
Man, you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, and you can't.
You can't get to it if you ain't went through it as well.
Speaker 4Walk up on you.
You said those exact words a long time ago.
Speaker 2You said that.
Speaker 4Literally, those are that word you said.
You can't get through it if you ain't go to it, if you ain't been through it.
Speaker 1That's facts, huh.
Speaker 4And I had to run it back and I was listening to you talking and you were like, yeah, I've been through this, this, this and this, but here I am and I wouldn't understand you.
If I hadn't been here.
You and I couldn't have a conversation.
I couldn't look you in your eye.
Speaker 2And I'm like, damn, bank said something.
I felt that.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't remember saying it, but it's the truth.
I'll never forget it.
Speaker 3Hey, let me ask you something, what what do the ultimate healing look.
Speaker 1Like for you?
Speaker 2The ultimate healing for me?
Hmmm?
Speaker 4I think that's when I actually slow down and give myself my accohlades.
Everybody praises me, and it's still weird for me.
Like my friend tells people she saved my life.
Speaker 2And in my mind I didn't.
Speaker 4Do anything, or I have people like shell Jeezu's guard.
I need the best female security guard out here.
And I'm like, oh, even down to people telling me I'm pretty, I'm like, I'm all right, Like earlyer, I'm freaking out because I don't know how to do makeup.
Speaker 2So I'm freaking out, like.
Speaker 4I gotta find a makeup ARTI I can't go on bank show without makeup.
And my friend was like, you're pretty, you don't need I think healing for me is when I get to the place where I'm able to tell myself like you did it, You're you're dope, you're her.
Speaker 2Yeah I can say it, but I.
Speaker 1Don't feel it yet, So I fuck with that.
I fuck with that.
What about what does like a stable uh stable mental health look like for you?
Speaker 4Like I think I'm there, I'm catching myself.
You ain't never caught yourself like age just cho oh here, Yeah I never did that.
I never had those checks with myself.
And now I'd be like, you know what, relaxed, Ain't that serious?
Speaker 1So that's your regiment?
Yes, what else do you do outside of that?
Speaker 2I pray, I pray a lot, I talk to God all day.
Speaker 4I'm sure you know the super Christians will tell me I'm wrong, but I'll smoke a joint and talk to God.
Speaker 1I might cut.
They can't tell you how to talk.
Speaker 4I mean, like, Lord, they got me fucked up down He says, come as you are.
God says in the same Bible that they preach to us to come as you are.
And I don't think that means clothing.
Speaker 1Man, I might hear God with the police.
I'm having bra What the fuck man.
Speaker 2These folk?
So?
Speaker 4Yeah, I just I pray, I meditate a lot, I do yoga.
I just I've learned to calm my energy and relax myself.
Speaker 3So, so do you feel like so?
Speaker 1You do?
You don't you feel like you've discovered your strength?
Speaker 2I finally have.
Speaker 1So what would you tell a person that's trying to discover this stream?
Speaker 4Be patient with yourself.
Yeah, you don't match up to anybody's standard.
That's something I also struggled with growing up.
Speaker 2You know, so and so did such and such.
You know how black mamas are because so.
Speaker 4And so got honor rolling, y'all saying get honor roll this year, and that stuck with me, and over the years, I always compared myself to others, and I would say to people who are on their journey, it's your journey.
You don't measure to anybody.
You're not on anybody's timeline.
It's between you and God.
The faster that you block out those outside influences, the better off you'll be.
When you're finding yourself, you go to get by yourself.
You gotta get stone cold.
For me, it was hiking.
I'm hiking up the Cocker.
Speaker 5Mills and I'm coming to the one on the twenty three years.
Speaker 1Always watch me the one.
Watch everybody come to the next one.
The next one.
Speaker 4I'm gonna hand you on machilae.
Don't be worried about it.
But no, like seriously, that's what it was for me.
I've always had cheerleaders around me, yes man, people telling me how great I was, ignoring the fact that I was mentally in one unstable because I benefit them.
Yeah, And once I got tired, keep going to jail, you keep getting put out.
I got tired, and those people who are tired understand that your journey has not ended by far.
It's time for you to get by yourself.
Speaker 1Trying to secure yourself.
Speaker 2That's the one.
That's the one.
Speaker 3So if you just had the like your mission is to basically help people that come from where we come from get through it, right, Yes, So how would you describe your message?
Speaker 4My message is that of internal healing above anything.
My message is loving yourself before you can love anything else.
My message is being honest with yourself.
I am straightforward, I'm cutthroat, I'm raw.
I'm not gonna dress it up for you.
I'm not gonna sprinkle sugar on it.
We're gonna get down to it.
And that's where I'm at.
I'm unapologetic and transparent.
So anybody who comes to me, anybody who needs me, anybody who wants a vice from me, be prepared to be honest with yourself.
Before you're honest with me, you're gonna be completely naked in front of me.
So that's my message, full transparency and honesty.
People do a good job of hiding who they are.
So you see them on the outside looking in and you think they got they shit together.
You don't know when they go home, they eat, they gun every night, they just don't pull the trigger, or they don't want upside their wife head, or they get so drunk they just sleeping with whoever to feel something coke up, they nose, they down bad.
But when you see him, they got this suit on, smell good.
They driving it two hundred million dollar card that duck and the Repo man parking at their homeboy house.
Speaker 2So no, we're not doing that no more.
Speaker 1How do you keep u How do you keep from contradicting yourself through temptation?
Speaker 2I do?
Speaker 4I don't stop it.
That's who I am.
If I pretend like I don't follow the temptation or contradict myself, how real can I really be?
Why am I going to hide who I am just because I'm on a platform I can stand up to the comments in the blogs.
Speaker 2I don't give a damn about that.
Speaker 1You watching me fuck them?
Speaker 4That part, you watching me fucking and feeding beans, That's what my daddy say.
Speaker 2I'm not gonna hide who I am.
I'm flawed.
You do fucked up shit every day.
Speaker 1You don't feel like, uh what you think?
People most misunderstand about you.
Speaker 4They think I'm rough.
They think I'm rough.
They think I'm misunderstand They don't think I understand.
They think I'm just so linear, so harsh.
They think I'm the angry black girl.
None of that.
Speaker 1What makes them think that?
Speaker 4Now when you first meet me, you're gonna be like, wo shit, you didn't get that.
Speaker 2But most people set me.
Speaker 4Most people don't meet me in the setting you met me in.
Most people meet me with a bulletproof vest on.
But most people meet me in that capacity or you know, my day job.
I work for the State of Georgia in a position where I have to be sterned.
So it's like they meet me in those capacities and they don't think.
They don't think I have a heart.
I think I'm just just a dog.
It's like, no, far from that.
Speaker 1What's your proudest moment?
Speaker 2I've had so many.
Speaker 4My most recent protest moment was my son graduating from boot camp, going into the Marine Corps and accomplishing a goal he'd wanted to be a marine since he was eight years old.
Like I told you, we've been evicted seven times.
I've been a jail in front of my son, and I've heard over and over he's going to turn out like me.
My instability, my mental health is going to mess his life up.
He's not going to graduate, He's not you know, so many things he wasn't going to do because he was coming from a single parent household.
He's a product of a rape.
He didn't have, you know, a father around, just me and him, and I'm bouncing him here, there and everywhere.
And it's like, no, the best parts of me are in that kid.
Speaker 1Yeah, So I get it, cause it's like Nigga asked me, Yeah, that's me living again right now.
Speaker 3Like Nigga, that's a product of me.
Nah, I get that real shit.
So it's like, yeah, yeah, you shining for.
Speaker 2Us, that's the one.
Speaker 1Real shit.
That's the one what made you laying on Atlanta?
Like what made you stay here?
Who?
Speaker 4I had a few clients here, nothing that was consistent.
And God, forgive me, Mama, I love you.
I'm sorry.
I lied to my parents and told him I had a job here.
Speaker 1Shit, you did eventually barely.
Speaker 4And it's so crazy.
The job that I told my parents I have is the job that I do.
Speaker 2Now.
Speaker 4That's how full circle God went for me.
Like I typed up the employment letter, the whole nine yards and I just left.
I knew that if I stayed in Virginia, I wasn't gonna do nothing.
I had gotten into some shit I got into a shootout and I thought I killed the boy.
Thank god I didn't, but I thought I killed the boy.
And I came here not even a week later, left all my furniture in my apartment.
Fuck On paid for Airbnb in Lakewood.
He'd never been to Atlanta ever.
I'd never come here before, like literally never been here before, paid for the airbnb, lied to my parents, told him I had a job, put my son in the car and came here, no plan, no nothing.
Speaker 2And I was like, you know what, I'm not leaving.
This is it.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3That's why I can say, out of all the cities in the world, would make Atlanta different.
Speaker 4It was close, and I knew that Atlanta was a place for black women.
When it came to business.
Everybody told me that, like you you pretty, you speak well, Atlanta's where you want to go.
They love black women in business in Atlanta.
And I'm like, all right, We're going to see gas.
Ran out and had no more money for gas.
Speaker 1I'm here, hey, like being in the club, Like, how hard is it not?
The guy dam just started vibing out, like while you're at work.
Speaker 4It depends on the DJ.
I've got some moments with Atlanta DJs.
I'm like, oh he's rocket, Like no, Dominic, you at work, You're at work, relaxed like and then.
Speaker 2Like camp k Camp is like a brother to me.
I love him dearly.
He hits a stage, I'm over there like shoddy as still wait.
Speaker 1Wait wait no, no, no, no, no, yeah what what?
What?
What artists that you meet that you kind of fanned out on.
Speaker 4Like I fanned out over jay Z Real real Bad and I don't think he probably doesn't know who I am?
Speaker 2What nothing?
Speaker 4Him and Gilly stand out over Gilly real Bad in Detroit.
I actually got to tell Gilly like like, I told you one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 2And you you've molded me.
Speaker 4But yeah, when I met Jay, I had the pleasure of doing the artist compound for the very first Something in the Water and Pharrell brought Jay and I had to go around and make sure that each artist had security.
And he looked at me and he was like, you do security?
And I was like, he's like, you're a pretty girl.
I lost my ship.
Speaker 2What he couldn't tell me nothing.
I'm like, jay Z told me I was pretty, can take it to me?
Speaker 3So yeah, damn.
So you say it depends on the DJ.
How they racking.
Speaker 2I like that old Atlanta music.
Speaker 4No LIKEE you would think I was from here like I love Kells bounced music.
I'm a crazy Guat fan, like Gucci Man got the soundtrack of I was literally my plug was coming down here grabbing beans, and whoever he was grabbing them from was giving him Gucci Man mixtapes.
Speaker 2He was giving me the mixtapes when he was serving me.
Speaker 4So I'm really riding around my town listening to Gucci Man like you couldn't tell me I want from Ze six.
Speaker 2So yeah, they get to play that on the letter ship.
Speaker 1Gut Lila at your way too.
Speaker 2Virginia loves Gucci back then.
Speaker 1The old Gucci held out there too.
Speaker 2He was really our soundtrack.
Speaker 3So that's the first thing come to your mind with his don't see it, Guba, let me see what about?
Speaker 1So you would never leave what you ever leave?
Atlanta?
Speaker 4I think I'm a rolling stone type.
So I think when God tells me it's.
Speaker 1Time to go on the slide, where would you go?
Speaker 2I'm looking at San Francisco.
I like it there.
Speaker 1That's a long asway.
Speaker 4I'm one of them.
I'm drastic.
Like if I say I'm going, I'm going, and I'm not going to South Carolina, I'm out of there.
Speaker 1Where your baby station at.
Speaker 4He is in North Carolina right now.
He's getting ready to go overseas.
So it's like what they say, Mama got to have a life too.
Speaker 3Nah, for sure.
You say, so what you gonna do?
Are you gonna do like speaking like live audience or what you're just gonna do online?
Speaker 2How my goal?
Speaker 4My goal is to get to a platform where I'm invited to speak for large groups.
I've done it a few times, but it's never been like a paid thing.
But with what I'm doing with these events and you know, cure they calls vibe curators.
Now that's the title.
With what I'm doing with that, that's something that I feel like will put me in a position to travel a lot.
And I also I don't do as much bodyguard work, but I got one or two clients that I'll stick with forever.
Speaker 3So who you look at, look look at you know, like in that space, it's like, yeah, I can see myself being like this person.
Speaker 4Truthfully, nobody.
I don't want to be like anybody, not.
Speaker 3Like them, per se but how they come off like et that nigga to me e T and Ikey Johnson, them them niggas.
Speaker 1You know what I'm saying.
I can listen to them niggas all day, but I don't want to be like them niggas.
Speaker 3But but you know what I'm saying, it's just like because it's hard for me to feel some shit.
Yeah, you know, tell them always like he ain't to my ship, but that nigga e t Everie Tumls and goddamn Inca Johnson and passed the key on.
Speaker 5Like I'll be like, yeah, now passed the key on for sure.
Yeah, I'll be like, yeah, them niggas on one once.
Speaker 2And I love Sarah Jakes Roberts.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, I love My Mama bought me a book of hers and I read it two, three, four times over.
I love Sarah Jakes Roberts.
I will say it's not that I don't lead with the most high you know God, But I don't want to be a preacher, nah, because.
Speaker 1You ain't got to preach out the Bible to be a preacher.
If you if you if you motivating a person, that that's changed.
The preaching ain't never changing lives right.
Speaker 3So if you if you speaking, if you speaking the word, if you're speaking the real word, you change a line.
I'm about to get some words, and first word come to your mind.
I want you to say the first I'm Geese words, and then you say the first thing come to your mind.
Speaker 1Okay, you ready?
Trust my son?
Lies?
Everybody breakups?

Speaker 1Toxicity, niggas, standards me, boundaries needed, frequency.
Speaker 2It's the highest point of energy.
Speaker 1Passion.
Speaker 2You gotta have it to live.
Spontaneous another you gotta have it to live.
Speaker 1Dms, stay out of mind.
Manipulation.
Everyone manipulates, gas lighting.
Speaker 2I still don't know what that means.
Speaker 3Just being real me neither forgiveness essential social media.
Speaker 2Hated and love it.
Speaker 1A I hated and love it fifty fifty.
Speaker 2Let's not do that.
Get me out of it.
Speaker 1By nancial freedom, hoping for it.
Expectations, don't have them.
Elimination gotta go asap, baby daddy, fuck them, linger, don't Obsession depends on what it is.
Moving on.
Speaker 2Hurry up, do.
Speaker 1It, revenge, don't do it?
Speaker 5Healing essential Really shit, baby daddy, you say, fuck him absolutely?
Speaker 4Why gotta give him the grace?
I gotta practice what I preached.
My oldest son's father is in his space of healing.
He ain't where needs to be yet.
He's still very bitter.
Like I said, I feel like a baby daddy.
I pray that at some point he matures and we get to a better space.
Speaker 2But fuck him.
Speaker 1So if you, if you would ever write a book, would it be about your life or would it be a self help book for other people?
Speaker 2It'd be about my life.
Speaker 4I'd sprinkle some self help in there, but it would definitely be about my life.
Speaker 3Well, your book about your life would be self help because you would have to say how the things you overcame right?
Speaker 1So what do you read?
Books?
Speaker 2I read all the time.
Speaker 1What's your favorite one?
Speaker 4John Grisham is my favorite author, so anything by him.
Rick Ross's book, I listened to that on tape for a while.
Gucci Man's book, I listened to that over and over.
I'm not real big on self help books.
I really prefer biographies.
The autobiography of A Side of Chakur is my number one favorite.
Speaker 2Book of all time.
What it is about outside of Chakour.
Speaker 4She was in the Black Panther Party.
She was a cues of killing a State trooper.
She didn't do it.
You know, they put the bounty on her head.
She was on the FBI's Most Wonderless for years to ported her to Cuba.
But she's another one that don't play.
She don't play by her people.
She's not gonna play with you.
She ain't scared of you.
If she gotta up it on you, she gonna up it on you.
And you're not gonna play with her.
Speaker 1And you tell me how the nigga got you?
Tell about up and what kind of pistons you got today?
Speaker 2At FN S nine, what's that?
I love?
Speaker 4Fns are my favorite.
I got a little tiny wrists and then lightweights.
Speaker 1Sold about No, I hate them.
Speaker 4Why somebody needed to tell these kids sticks or make everything inaccurate?
You use a stick, it's by the time you get to shoot and it's hot and bullets going everywhere, you're not gonna hit your man.
Speaker 1He needs shooting enough of them.
They need shooting enough of them because.
Speaker 2They think they look cool.
I feel like that's what it's the visual effect.
You got this.
Speaker 1Going.
Speaker 3Now you're dealing with somebody who really shoot.
They're gonna your ad now right?
Speaker 1What about those switches?
Speaker 4I can't stand them.
I can't stand them sticks and switches irk me.
I don't like them like my fn on eighteen shots, I only need two or three, if even that.
But then again, they're doing drills.
They're not doing what our generation did.
Ain't nobody walking nobody down?
Yeah, they in the car perked up driving past.
They don't how the gumption and the balls to walk you down.
Yeah, they're not like us.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're right, so you're saying, but damn don't switches deadly though.
Speaker 4I can't stand them.
That's what we hadn't with the incident.
When you asked me about my fear, it was a switch.
Speaker 1Oh for real?
So you couldn't get off.
I was hot too, make it where you can't get off hot?
Yeah, gotta get down.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 4My immediate instinct was to clear everybody out, make sure everybody was safe.
Yeah, retaliation was not everybody.
Why you hate how how they down the street.
So I'm supposed to innocent, and I'm supposed to endanger more lives by shooting when they down the street already they came through with a switch.
Speaker 2What I'm supposed to.
Speaker 3Do, yeah, niggas is making sure they get away.
Yeah, shooting and running scary.
Ain't nothing gangst about it.
Speaker 1Damn.
So do we adapt?
Yes, I'm saying, do we do?
Speaker 2We get us a switch, mindus sweat?
Speaker 1What do you do?
Speaker 2It's a double ashed sword.
What do you do?
Speaker 4Because it's like, I don't agree with it.
I think switches you scary as hell.
You pull out a switch, But at the same time, you're not finna do nothing to me?
Speaker 2So what do I do?
Speaker 4Do I continue to infect my population by matching your energy or do I be a victim.
Speaker 1Case twenty two?
Speaker 2Yeah?
Speaker 1If you change one thing in the world, what would it.
Speaker 4Be people's patience with each other.
I think that if people had more patience and gave more grace, it would lead to understanding.
When you under an overstand it changes the dynamic and the trajectory of a lot of things.
Speaker 1Why you think people don't lost patient though, Well, did they ever have it?
Speaker 4I don't think they ever had it?
And I think, like I told you, I love and hate social media.
Social media has made it easy for assholes to find each other.
It's easy to find a group of jackasses who think just like you, and once you get enough of them, you feel validated.
So what you need patients with other people for I got fifty niggas over here who think just like me.
Speaker 2Why gotta be nice.
Speaker 4To you or understand your journey or give you grace.
I just listen to the people who telling me I'm right.
Speaker 1Facts.
Speaker 3Fact, social media is this shit is a gifting, a curse.
You're right, because the way it going now is like you need it.
Yeah, once you don't enter that world, you gotta stay in that motherfucker.
Speaker 2You gotta keep it going, you know.
Speaker 1What I'm saying.
It's like you behind.
I don't know, man.
I think the world just evolved.
I think.
And I was just thinking about this on the trail this morning because I went I went hiking in morning, and I was just thinking, like when this shit just start.
It's always been bad, It's always been crime has always been niggas, Hating has always been niggas.
But the weird shit started when COVID passed.
Speaker 3Ever since then, people been passing that like unexpected, people been dying.
But like after that helicopter dropped, then COVID then god, damn, just all type of shit, just like damn back to back.
Speaker 1What year was that?
Speaker 4Twenty twenty COVID was twenty twenty when I moved here.
I moved here in November.
Speaker 1Google work year COVID passed.
I think he passed in twenty twenty.
Yeah too.
Yeah.
So it's like, because you know they said that the world's supposed to end it in what year?
Speaker 2Two thousand, two thousands?
Speaker 4We was all up at night on January thirty first, nineteen ninety nine.
Let me tell your first ninety nine, like, oh, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 2Y two k he was.
Speaker 1When January YEP started the yell.
So it's like, I think twenty twenty was the beginning of the end.
Speaker 4Yeah, I can see that.
I can see that.
I don't think our generation is gonna see the end, but it's coming.
Speaker 1How do you think the en't gonna be?
Like, let's go to conspiracy theory.
Speaker 4I've been back and forth between the Big Bang theory and then just dying out extinction theory.
Speaker 2I can't.
I'm kind of on the fence.
Speaker 1What's dying out intention extinction?
Speaker 2Like we like the dinosaurs, We're just gonna slowly die out, and.
Speaker 1It's gonna be the AI here, the computers.
Speaker 2The Christians say it's gonna be the rapture.
Speaker 1I thank yd man.
It's gonna be some of that.
It's gonna be a new fight.
Speaker 2Yeah, the big Bang theory.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think that's what's gonna happen.
Trump gonna suck around, do it for?
Speaker 2He leave mass casualties because.
Speaker 1He want them niggas that are gone and pushed the bunch to show them, folks just because I'm saying, like he temperament is fucked up.
I know he'll Gemini like me.
Speaker 5He'll crash all the way out, all the way out, like fuck it.
Speaker 3Y'all need to think that.
Why you keep on getting you two weeks pool?
After the two weeks up?
Speaker 1What do we do?
Speaker 2Yeah?
Now I got to show you.
Speaker 1He keeps saying, I'm gonna do some ship.
Y'all don't want the world ain't gonna want.

That means wipe your country out.
Speaker 2When people say ship like that, you better you better take heed.
Those is heavy words.
Speaker 1American bullies too, very very much.
We've been bullies like little Nigga in them country life.
Speaker 4We've been bullies.
We've been kicking it during other people countries like yeah, we're here.
Speaker 3Like and y'all know what we got, like how we do one can ask like they don't make none of them bon then what's going on?
Speaker 1Like we gotten don't make them?
Yeah, we said how they had a rest of country going for that though.
Speaker 4It ain't no different than when we was in school the bully told you you can't sit at this one's table, and your ass ain't sitting there because you ain't want to get spanked.
You got people that will fold, and you got people that's gonna stand up.
Speaker 1But you got some sneaky agg country like Kim Young You them Nigga got damn they got that ship like them Nigga readly he.

Speaker 1And Nigga still testing the motherfucking m damn man, don't damn.
Speaker 3I think it's I think I think it's I don't want to talk it up, but I think it's about that time.
Yeah, because you got to think about it, bro, I think the world ended aass time.
Speaker 1The first world they had playing, they had the Jetsons.
You gotta think about the Jetson, Bro.
Everything that was on the Jetsons is here now.
Speaker 2Facts, we got automated cars, chats, heck.
Speaker 1Yeah, watch the rocket exactly.
Speaker 3Everything that was on the Jetsons is here now.
And we couldn't even see that as a kid, Like that ship was y'all still.
Speaker 2Rolling phone smacking the side of the TV.
Speaker 1Yes, man, this ship different now, man, this ship is all digital.
Speaker 4And the thing that's trippy about it is how easily we adapted.
It was a smooth transition.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4When I think back, like I used to play Oregon Trail on real floppy disc and I'm over here buying a PlayStation five, Like it's nothing, not really understanding just how much goes into that transition and that technology, Like y'all took me from Star sixty nine to this iPhone.
Speaker 1And I didn't even notice from payphone from a BP.
Speaker 4The pay phone with that quarter call like oneck, I'm ready to come pick me up from the skate.
Yes, already, because you better not let it ring do when your mama got to pay.
Speaker 1Yeah, real ship though, that's crazy.
But I think even though it's it's it's evolution, I think shit was better than.
Speaker 2I definitely agree.
Speaker 1Nobody don't know how to get nowhere without GPS, nigga gpad to go right down the whole food that ship across the street.
Speaker 4I sometimes I wish that we could go back to how things were when we were in nineties.
Speaker 2I'm a nineties kid.
I was born in eighty five.
Take me back there.
I liked it back there.
Speaker 3And then when you ask the motherfucker brother, just go to white GPS.
I want to know what time I'm gonna get done.
People just don't want to think no more.
Speaker 4No no, And you don't have to.
You don't have to think anymore.
You can ai whatever you need to say, whatever you need to do.
You can DoorDash your groceries.
You don't got to leave your house if you don't want to.
You don't now today's society.
You don't ever have to talk to another human being face to face if you don't want to.
You can see your doctor over the phone, get your groceries, pay your bills.
Speaker 1You don't have to go outside, tell a doctor.
Speaker 2Yeah, you don't have to interact with humans at all.
Speaker 1What they setting us up for?
Speaker 2Hmmm the robots that take over.
Speaker 1The One thing about it, they already know what's nicks.
They knew this ship is going on now years ago.
Speaker 2They're sending entertainers into space.
They ain't doing nothing, no reason you think they're mm hmm.
Speaker 4It's probably a little cute round trip, but they're going up there.
They're doing that to make us comfortable with it.
I think they're gonna put prisons in space, I really do.
And why the hell I love you dearly Katy Perry.
What the hell Katy Perry in space for?
Speaker 1You know what I'm saying, It's probably just like an amusement.
Speaker 2Feel comfortable?
Oh that said, My my favorite celebrity just went to space.

Speaker 2We can't.
There's no band aid.
Speaker 4It's no quick fix to none of this ship.
I feel like, just like you said, we're on a decline.
We peaked already.
We're on the back end of this ship.
Ain't no fixing it.
It's gonna get worse.
Only thing that you can do is fix your immediate circle of influence, the people you can reach out and touch.
Ain't no saving this world.
You better, save your community.
The best you can save your family, instill them true values in your family, and allow your family to go out and be great, build a legacy.
Other than that, it's over with.
Speaker 1I agree, I don't know.
It's it's co world we're living in.

Them went through the same ship and they probably thought to worry about then who knows, but.
Speaker 2They say what the tutsiro pop.
The world may never know.
We're not gonna see it.
Speaker 4So all we can do is in fact our legacy.
All we can do is parents, is take the best parts of our parents, give that to our kids.
