Yes. And so I'm, I love that and I, I. I saw her and I thought, man, she would be amazing for the show. Yeah. But we're gonna talk about a little bit about how did you start this? Where did that this come in from you? Because, there have been people that I've talked to that recognize that they had these gifts as children, and a lot of them have people to help them to nurture those gifts.

Thanks for reading! This post is public so feel free to share it.

What was that path like for you? So I accidentally discovered as a child that I had spiritual gifts that I could talk to the other side, that I could see spirits and that kind of thing. And my grandfather, my great-grandfather, he was what they called a root doctor. And when he found out that I had these gifts, he tried to show me take me in the woods and show me the herbs and all the things that he used and things like that.

But his daughter, who was my paternal grandmother, was very religious. She was very deep in the church and so one, she denied her gifts, and two, she made sure that I did not hone mine because she was part of, the black church religion and Christianity that says that all that stuff is evil and it's the devil.

So yes. There were many years where I did not do anything to practice the gift. And then in my adulthood, I attended and preached at and left a couple of different churches, and then I started to do my deconstruction process. And it was like the further I moved away from Christianity and religion, the closer I got to spirituality and the more I, that's right.

Discovered, rediscovered my gifts and just let myself be more open to it. And it's like a calling, just like people in the church believe they have a calling to preach. I have a calling to help people with their spiritual gifts. So it's like the calling was just knocking at me constantly. So we just eventually flowed into each other, me and this calling.

And that's something because I know as a former church colleague myself. I was raised Pentecostal Holiness in the South, and, and my grandmother was a pastor, so yeah, we had some stuff, but she actually broke off from that particular sect just because they didn't allow women to preach.

And she said that God called her to be a pastor. Very good for her. Yeah. So she did her thing and. But there those tenets were there, that brainwashing and that manipulation and I find sometimes I still have to deal with that, just because it's so deeply embedded in us.

Yes. Even in, I think even in the DNA, it's a catch 22 because we constantly are seeing evidence of the spiritual gifts that we have and the way. Helping people and the way we are out here changing lives. But at the same time, there's still sometimes is that gnawing in our head, in our brain that's this is not right.

This goes against the Bible, this, that, and the other thing. And I do sometimes have to stop myself and talk myself through it, yes, God is older than religion. Yes, we connected with God before the Bible even existed. Yes. So we can't limit what we do and who we are to something that God assisted before.

You know what I mean? We can't do that. I think that people don't realize that book is an evolution. It's not the end. Yeah. And I think that's the part, and I got that when I was really young. But of course I never opened my mouth and said it. No. Else that freed me was the more that I discovered who do traditions and African spirituality, which is the closest thing to what I practice.

I learned about the Bible being a book of spells. Yes. And it being used in who do, and that's why who do speaks to me so much because it's a way for me to use all the things that I know and learned about the Bible, but to interpret it in the ways that God really meant for it to be interpreted and to help me.

Use my power. I'll tell people in my, I have a lot of clients that I help with deconstruction, and what I tell them is, religion tells you what you cannot do. Yes, spirituality shows you what you can do. Yes, I love it. I use Bible verses all the time. See and the thing, same. Same. Because those things are in us.

They are, they put 'em in us. They spoon fed 'em in us and for over, not even just our time, but think about the centuries even before how they, beat it in 'em. Oh God, yes. So I'll be arrow reading and I'll quote a scripture in a minute. Because it's interwoven. Because it's all God.

Yes. You know what I'm saying? It's all I do. Concepts. It's just. Whether or not we line 'em up with certain things. You know what happened? I watched the Nat Turner movie. Yeah. And that's where my spiritual awakening really began because it Wow. Just clicked for me. That they Wow. Paying slave owners were paying him to go to plantations and preach to the slaves about how to be a good slave and how to obey your master, using the Bible.

Yeah. And I, wait a minute, they wouldn't let us get married. They wouldn't let us learn how to read. They wouldn't let us do anything. But they, that we went to church. We could go to church. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You get the Sunday off of that. So then I was like, okay, who did it benefit for me to believe in Christianity?

It benefited them. And so then it was like, okay, so it would make sense that we don't question God, because that essentially was questioning those slave owners. You know what I mean? And little by little, I had to be like, okay, but what about this and what about this? And every time I felt guilty oh God, is God gonna get me?

And then God revealed to me like. It's okay to question God 'cause he has the answers. Especially if God is you. Exactly. God, I, and I laugh because I discovered Reverend Ike here a few years ago. Even though I did, I knew of him growing up. 'cause I was a child of the seventies, so I knew of him growing up.

Wow. I heard how the people just demonized him, vilified him and all that stuff. But I started really diving deep into him maybe about 10 years or so ago. Then I found out that he's killing us on my grandma's side. Oh wow. I was like, what? Yeah. Because they from the same place.

Amazing. Same little town in South Carolina. Nice. I'm in Ridgeland. Yes, ma'am. So I was like, okay. 'cause most of us that live in the little towns like that is all Ken anyway. Exactly. But I was like, okay. And then my mom told me that he used to come through when he came through Savannah on his way, like to Miami and stuff.

Back then there were no hotels for black people. So they had to stay in people's houses. She said when he would come through, he would come and stay at my grandma and him house. Wow. And she would cook for him and stuff like that, and he'd pack 'em up, food and stuff to take with them and go on down to Miami or whatever.

So I was like, wow. 'cause I couldn't figure out, I was like, I just started like I identifying, I just started listening to his stuff and I was like, this man was trying to help people. He was trying to help us. Trying to get us from all of, from out, from under, all of that indoctrination and that brainwashing right and stuff.

Because even somebody I had a conversation with and they were talking about different bibles, and I said I have the Ethiopian Bible that I'm studying right now. That's the one I'm reading, and I have the message Bible, which I do. I said, but they said, oh, something about King James. I said I have that too with the amplified.

I said, but I can't identify with that. I said, because when I think about who he was exactly and what was his motive and his method and what was the point? I said to be to just make sure that people were subservient and make sure that, you had a whole class of people that you called slaves.

I said, I just, I can't with that I said because honestly, I really don't believe that it's the same thing. That the word that they supposedly got from God is in that. And that person got really pissed off at me and I really didn't care. It's true. They do. I'm in that season. It's no, I don't care what you say until you ask me, I'm speaking my truth and you don't like it.

That's on you. Don't have nothing to do with me. And that's the spot. So as you started going forward with, doing, using your gifts, did you get any type of kickback from family or friends or anything like that? Very much my family, like I told you, was religious. And my grandfather, my grandma's husband, he was a Mennonite pastor.

Oh Jesus. Okay. Wow. Okay. Other Mennonite church very early, and then I went Holiness church and I also did not fit in well there. No, of course not. Basically I just liked the dancing. Yeah. Was actually, that's what I used to I used to jump up and start shouting, unfortunately, and fortunately I have lost a lot of my loved ones in my life.

So my grandma, my dad, my mom. And so when I started to really move into this, I, it was almost a blessing that I didn't have a lot of people whose opinion mattered. You know what I mean? And so I got kicked back from the people that I knew that were in the church, like former church members and stuff like that, but it really didn't.

Didn't matter that much to me because I didn't have anybody super close to me that cared about what I did. And so it was easier for me. And were you able to connect with your ancestors? Yes. And what was that like the first time? It was amazing. My mom passed away when I was a baby and Oh, I'm so sorry.

Thank you, but I had spent a lot of my life being very angry about that. But I got a reading, a tarot reading from this lady and she said your mom really wants to communicate with you. She, but, and she didn't know at the time, that she was passed away. She was like, but I have a feeling like she can't or something.

And I said, yeah, because she, she died. She left me when I was little and she said, you have to get over that. Like you've got to do shadow work. You've got to go to your mom's grave and talk to her and communicate with her. And all my life, I'd never done that. And I did. I went to her grave and I talked to her and it was like the most freeing thing ever.

And it was like we instantly had a relationship and we have ever since she talks to me, she shows me things. We laugh, we joke. Oh, that is so phenomenal. I love it. And so my sister, got Ill and passed away a couple years ago. Oh wow. Same thing. While she was here, she had special needs and so we weren't like, on the same level mentally, but now that she's on the other side, we have a wonderful relationship.

Same thing. So I have an altar where I sit with them and I talk to them and they literally, it's literally just like having a conversation with somebody here, but better because they have more information. They see more and know more on the other side than we do here. So they tell me stuff all the time.

That helps me. And they don't have to fight the judgment. No. There is literally no judgment on that side. That's the part that I love. It's they don't have to fight the judgment. 'cause I tell people, I said, that really is. That is the kicker right there. It's the judgment. You're judging one way or the other.

We think in polarities, is it good or is it bad? It don't have to be neither one, it just is exactly. People come to me for readings and they are so worried about, am I doing the right thing? Am I yes. Am I wrong? And I see there's no right, there's no wrong. There's intentions and there's decisions, there's choices, there's paths, there's journeys.

Even so far as infidelity and stuff like that people talk to me all the time about, I, I don't have a spark anymore with my husband. We don't love each other. We don't, this or that. And, there's this other person, and I say, and they're so shameful about it.

And I'm like, I believe that you can love more than one person in a lifetime. You absolutely can. And sometimes, I believe that we, and we love in different ways too, in different ways, and some things God did not put together. Spirit didn't tell you to marry that man.

They didn't tell you to make that. I know God didn't tell me to marry my first husband. I know it, but neither of, and whoever said that they was a lie. From, yes. A lot from the pit of hell, what they would say in the church. He was a lot. I was, no he, there was no way. Because if that was the case, I wouldn't believe in them.

Exactly. They have no judgment because it's like right or wrong is in your heart? Yes. And when you take away the religious part of it, you take away those principles of Christianity. Thank you. It's freeing. Exactly. Thank you, Adam and Eve. That's supposedly who began the whole thing, right?

They didn't have a marriage license, they never had a ceremony. They never exchanged rings. So where did we even get that concept from? That God is gonna send us to the burning place where the worms never die. Because we haven't been faithful to someone we shouldn't have chosen in the first place. You know what I'm saying?

I know exactly what you're saying. Years ago, I would've literally been afraid to say that because I was, I would've been shaking and trembling girl. You'd have been looking to see if it, see if the lightning was gonna come down. Seeing if you was gonna walk into ever big old hole in the ground, you know where hell is or, so when I talk to my friends who are still very much in the church and very much, going by religious principles and all that, I have to remember that I was there before.

You know what I'm saying? Where I am now. All that stuff sounds utterly ridiculous, but I have been in a place where that was word and that was law. And so I give them grace because it's. It's hard to get to this place. You have to. You do. Because I don't know about you when I started going to this place.

'cause I did, I, when I got 17, I told God that I shouldn't have to go back to church no more because I had church in a foul. I had this conversation with God. I said, I'm sure there's files on, when people went to church and stuff. Or you could go to my name and it'll tell you that on this particular day.

I was up in the church because we was there almost every night anyway so I told God I'm done. I ain't going back. I don't care what you say. I ain't going back. 'cause I always had my own relationship with God since I was a little girl, since, 'cause I started with the dead people thing when I was real little and yeah.

So I was like, all right. Of course I did go back to church. Because I had my kids and I thought, I need to get these kids in church. 'Cause that's what we know and that's what we were taught, raise the kids in the church, put the word in the babies, all this stuff. So I did that and I took my kids to church and I'm grateful that I did because they, there were some principles that they learned in the church.

Now my children are just like me now. They love God, but they ain't trying to be, in there, but I did. I did all that. I did ministry school. Went to ministry school, all this, did the prayer ministry, worked on the phones called ministry where you pray on the phone with the people and Yeah.

All that kind of stuff. Did all that stuff, but it's so many things, so many questions. You know what it also is for me is the corruption. I was. I was a, an ordained minister in the Pentecostal church. Oh my. And one of my roles was on Sunday morning, they would take a offering and they would count the offering right there in front of the people.

And if we did, were you a hype woman, huh? Yeah, the hype woman. So when we didn't meet the goal, they would say. And my job was to get up there and tell those people that God said, that we needed to give more money. Yep. And because the people trusted me, you know what I'm saying? They would give more money.

They would give more money that they didn't have. That they didn't have, and it would tear me up inside. And so it got to be where I would be like God didn't tell me that. They would be like make something up. What you, what? Yeah. What to make up stuff and say, today is the fourth Sunday of the month.

And so God said, to give $40 or we would say, it's the, today is the first day of fall and it's a new season let's give God a, a new season. No, God is raining out. Blessings. You know the ones that give 10. So one time it was tax season. This was like the final straw for me, and we were just sitting around talking in a minister's meeting and somebody said, I won't say who said it, but somebody said, it's tax season and these people are getting all these tax returns.

We need to figure out a way to get some of this money. And so they decided this leader at this church said you need to tell them. That, God wants some of their tax refund. And I jokingly said, so what are we gonna call it? A tax refund seed? And they were like, yes.

They were like, the next time you get up there, let them know that they, they needed sow a seed from their tax return because God allowed them to get that money and you was all in. I was not all in. I did not wanna do it. It just was like churning and no. I'm saying before that you were all in, at the agenda.

Yeah. At first it made sense, god help us, we're gonna, and so I said why can't we just tell the people if it's not enough to meet the need, then it's a seed give out of your need. You know what I'm saying? That was the thing that really got me, because I'm like, no. I give outta my need.

I can't pay my light. And they saying stuff like you already don't have enough money to pay your bill, so give me, so I, Hey if it don't meet the need, then it's a seed. I get what I have. Then my light bill comes due. I come to the church and I You ain't trying to give it to me. 'cause you telling me that I missed my tithe then the last time.

Exactly. Oh, you didn't have enough faith. Oh, okay. Yeah. You didn't have enough faith. Yeah. One of my. One of my viral tiktoks is about this prophet that came to our church one time, and this was the last church I was in. He preached for, he, he was there for a revival. So the first night he said, I want y'all to sow a $200 seed because God is going to turn things around in 72 hours.

And so we lined up all around the church. Him $200, putting $200 in his case or remember that those days. Yeah. And I was in the line, so I, yeah, no shape, but I was in the line. I gave him one. Yeah. I've been in many lines. So 72 hours passed, right? This is last night in town. So he says, oh, tell me all about the miracles that happened.

Nobody had it. So then he says, y'all are in luck because God told me that he has extended the 72 hours, but you gotta give more money. Yeah. He goes another $200. And if you believe, that's what he said. If you believe that God is gonna extend the 72 hours that you know you, you're gonna stand up, you're gonna tell the devil that you don't be, you don't have any doubt because you believe this.

I need you to give me another $200. And so some people did. I did not. I was like, the hell you say. So anyway, that was just that. That extra time was just enough time for him to get outta town 'cause he was leaving the next day. See,

and it's stuff like that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Gimmicks. I couldn't deal with it any longer. Yeah. I used to trip because when the prophetess and the prophets would come, you know how they do. And I laugh, I used to laugh and I didn't realize until probably, maybe about 10 years ago, real reason.

I was like, huh. 'cause every time, if they came through, if they weren't right they never came to me, ever. I used to, I, I laughed about it now because I can remember I'm sitting in the middle. They came to the person in front of me, behind me on e on both sides of me, but never came to me.

And I was like, looking at them, waiting on them to come. I used to be crying. I was like, I, that, that used to tell me, I, that what made me know. I said, oh, they ain't, they not, that ain't they not real. Exactly, because I they ly Yeah. I used to say, God, please let them have a word for me. Please do.

Please. I want a word. I need a word. And they would, like you said, just go all around me and just, yeah. Never had a word. And you know what it is because they wasn't right. They weren't right. And they knew that, and they knew that you would know. Because that's what I figured.

I was like, oh, because the ones that were real. It's like they would find me and seek me out. Exactly. I would be in a crowd. I'm a little thing, I'm five feet tall, so if they stand enough, everybody is taller than me. They would come find me. The ones that were real, and I knew it, and they would tell, I was like, okay, I, that. That was interesting if you think about it. We had fun in those times. They were, it was fun. It was the emotions, it was the frequencies in the air, the energies that had everybody, everybody's, 'cause you point your hand toward the person in the front. We're all giving them our energy. Yes. So what they're doing is, seems like it's all them, but it's not. You know what I'm saying? But it's fun. The atmosphere is fun. The hype, the junk. Dancing. The shouting we want to believe it. Yeah. The running around the church. Oh my God. I asked my laughing, I said, I can remember running around the church, just running around the church and running around the church.

Then of course you're screaming, are you speaking in tongues? Or you're, whatever you're doing, back flips or whatever people do. Did. I remember we were little, we used to play church in the backyard. And on some level that stuff is all real, but it's not. Yeah. It is, and it's not from where we think it is and it's rituals, it's energies. It's all those things that, that we practice, that they tell us is wrong. But they're doing the same things. They're doing the same thing. I told somebody, I said, why, if I'm at the church, I'm a prophet this, but if I'm reading you cards or something like that, which you know, I can or I cannot, don't make a difference to me.

If I'm reading your energy, I'm something else. I was like, make that make sense. Everybody that comes on my TikTok lives or comes on my videos making comments, always wants to talk to me about, they love putting that scripture up there that says, do not consult psychics or mediums or, sayers and blah, blah, blah, and God hates them, blah, blah, blah.

But you have to read. See, the thing is they put pick one scripture, just like these people. Take one scripture and do a whole damn ministry around. So I have to, no, God said women shouldn't preach and this and this and this, and then God said nothing about that. That was Paul. And so I have to remind those folks, you know what, if you look a little closer, you'll see that Moses had a meeting with dead people and God set up the meeting.

Okay? So don't talk to me about that. And that, but the kings of old, when the prophets couldn't tell them what they needed to know. Guess who they look for? They went to the Sears. To the Sears. Yes. They went and grabbed them. 'cause and they all had them. All. And they took care of them.

They did. That's the thing I was telling people, they're like, oh, I shouldn't have to pray for pay for God's word. I said you, they all paid for it in the past. I said those, they took care of those people. They didn't have to worry about, where they was gonna get their money or charging you $12 for a reading or whatever.

They didn't have to worry about that. Because they were taken care of. And I was like, if you would take care of people that do this work, then we wouldn't have to worry about charging now. And do I agree that, you should be ridiculous. No, I don't agree with that.

But that's according to, what you think, right? Pricing has been a big thing for me because I started out same way. I didn't want to charge at all. And then I learned about energy exchange and what that means, and then I learned about people, the value that they put on something. You know what I mean?

Yes. And so if you set your say, I say I do read it. For $25, what I'm gonna get if I charge $25 is people who come to me and say, is my baby daddy cheating on me? Is my baby daddy coming back? Did my baby daddy lie yesterday about where he was? Because the ones that you get on TikTok, yeah, that's that level, that's that level of energy, right?

If I charge. An investment for a reading, right? That's literally what it is. So you're not gonna come to me in that energy. You're gonna ask me something that matters. You're gonna ask me about your career, you're gonna ask me about your job, you're gonna ask me about your spiritual path, right? Because you're gonna be on a frequency where you can manifest that amount of money 'cause you're not somewhere worried about your baby daddy.

I love it. I and I, that's the way I feel. I feel the same way. It's nah. We were talking to this young lady at one of the fairs that I did, I used to do fairs a lot. And girl, she was offering readings for $5. Absolutely not. And that's what we told her. We were like, girl, you are, you're devaluing the work.

Stop it. It literally is think she wasn't really getting any, I think she got one person or something. 'cause she wasn't really even getting anybody. That's, but I told her, I said, even the fact that you put this s**t out here. That's what I tell my students in my classes, like people want to know that something is valued at a certain amount, right?

People don't even really crab boils like that, but because they cost a certain amount, it makes them feel like they're on a certain level, and they speak that out, right? People don't even want your readings if you're charging $5, 'cause they know there's no value. They're like, anybody can get that. You know what I'm saying? And the other thing I tell my students is, how much does a set of nails cost? People will go and drop $150 on their nails in a second without a thought. They spend a hundred dollars on that. I don't even understand it because I'd be I haven't even got my nails or my toes done in months.

But I just decided. That I didn't wanna do that. If you were wanting to do that, you would not go in there and tell those people, how about $50 I don't wanna pay. You know what I mean? Like you're not gonna do that. Yeah. We gonna go negotiate. You know that it's a certain amount, this is what people are paying.

So you go in there, you give those people that money, right? For something that's gonna last you two weeks, or you could pay me what my readings are worth for something that's gonna change your whole life. Do my spirit guides are the real deal. So they're gonna give you information, they're gonna give you instructions to go with that information.

And if you're on the claim to receive it, it's going to give you what you need to literally change the whole trajectory of your life. So that's why students like you cannot undervalue yourself either. We're not trying to be swindlers, we're not trying to take advantage of people, but at the same time.

We're raising people up. And there's a price for that. And we're being honest about it. We're not the church saying, this is a rainfall seed. You know what I mean? We're telling the truth like, this is how much it costs, this is what's gonna happen, and here you go.

My gosh, I've heard it all. I've seen it all. I think back. I think back. 'cause 'cause I'm old enough where I remember tent revivals. And those things were no joke, uhhuh,

those things were no joke. I said, oh my gosh. And I remember, 'cause at one point in my life I thought I was supposed to be a pastor. That was the thing in my mind. I was like maybe I'm supposed to be. And my grandmother would, she put a lot into me. Yeah. And but I realized that was not what not no.

I was like, I don't even like people like that. No.

That's the thing about a calling though, like whatever you're really called to do is what you don't wanna do. Yeah, absolutely. And I already knew. No. Eager to jump up and start a church and just so excited about it. They're not really called. No. You almost be like you almost look at 'em like, do you know what the cost of this is?

Yeah. I was there when people would call my grandma at two o'clock in the morning. And she will talk to them, and I'm thinking to myself, see no. One thing, I'm not answering my phone at two o'clock in the morning. I don't care. What do you want? It's no. It's like I tell my family, back east, I'm like, so listen, if somebody dies, like at midnight or something, you can wait till the next day to call me and it would be fine.

I'm all right with it. Because you know what the thing that I know is if they're dead at midnight tonight, they're gonna be dead at eight or 10 o'clock in the morning. That's true. So no need to mess up somebody's sleep. You might as well get your rest. It's true. And that's what I say. I'm like, that's unfortunate that happened.

The reason they have to call you at two o'clock in the morning though, to let you know, is that it's gonna be on Facebook by 7:00 AM and they don't want you to wake up at seven when they. And that's okay. 'cause because me, I'm not gonna really get on Facebook that early anyway. I, some days I don't get on that s**t at all.

I really don't like it. I only use it for the tool that it is, i'm like, no. Yeah. It's nah, you know what I, I tell people that. I'm like, yeah, no. It's, that's, those things are not, it's not like a rush type of situation. Yeah. When you understand death too though. Yeah. That's different.

You know what I mean? Because death is such a big thing for us. Yeah. And the way that we handle it emotionally is literally connected to what we understand about it. And so when you true that, daddy's gone, then you know, it's a panic situation. It's an emergency situation. Like we Right Again, like this is it, but when you are spiritually aware, yeah. Number one, you already knew daddy was gonna gone. We're gonna be gone. 'cause Spirit told you, and number two, you all, you already know, you're going to convene with him. You're gonna spend time with him. You're just gonna, you're gonna connect right. In that most lovely way.

He's not gone, he's transitioned into a different version of daddy. And yes, it's sad people. I'm like, and that's a cool thing. It's, because honestly, I'm like I still, and I also question this. I questioned the heaven and healthy. Oh yeah. I said I don't, I just don't believe that there is a place because here's what I was thinking about.

I was talking to my husband yesterday. I said, I don't believe that there's this place called Heaven or this place called Health. I believe that's the s**t that we go through down here. I said, what? What it feels like. I said, I don't believe that. I said, because here's the thing I thought about. If you have left your body, you don't need a place.

Exactly. You can be anywhere and everywhere. Why does it matter where you think you're going, I just don't, I never understood it. I used to ask questions as a child and they, of course they ignored me. Yeah. But because here's the thing, like why would God spend his time or time creating a mansion for every single person that ever lived?

You know what I mean? First of all. Yeah, that's a lot. Unless they unless God cloned the mansions in this way, you didn't have to actually create the ones for each one. There's so many different ways that could be done, but, but why? But the other thing is, same with other beginning of my spiritual awakening.

Who does it benefit for me to believe in heaven?

It's a way to control people. Yes. If you do what I tell you that you need to do and you gonna go to heaven, when you get old, when it's your time to go right, you're gonna go to heaven. But if you don't do what I say your skirt is too short. If you're good on jewelry, okay, makeup you wearing some makeup, God is gonna send you to the place where, oh wait, hair and wigs and weaves and.

Right number one. But where we got that from was again, the slave master. Yeah. If you be a good slave, you don't run away. You do what I say. You let me take advantage your ass. Don't worry about it. 'cause when this life is over, you're gonna go. You know what I mean? No, I'm gonna have heaven right here.

The slave owner literally has heaven right now. But me, I gotta suffer and die before I get my reward. You know what I mean? Yeah. And then I also need to I got to choose between having Jesus and silver and gold. Why must I choose? Why can't I just have. Jesus had silver and gold.

I'd rather have Jesus. No. I remember saying when we were saying, no, it's not true. I would not rather have Jesus like I, I gimme the silver and the gold. And then me and Jesus, we can work it out. You know what I mean? It's almost like people say you know what they say? Or Rich, the eye of the needle with the rich man can't go to heaven.

And I'm like he probably don't need heaven. He's in heaven because he already had it. He's gone. Please, but we were babies and they just taught us what they had been taught. You know what I mean? And it was like, don't question God. Yeah. 'cause I never, that part, I just couldn't get in.

So I used to ask God questions all the time growing up and honestly I thought God lived at the beach. Okay. 'cause we used to go to the beach and seemed like that was the place that God spoke to me at the most was. So I was like, okay, I'm, and so I would go to the beach and I would just hear God talking to me and I was a little bit of thing, I didn't even know, the only person I told was my grandmother.

Because I'm like, I don't know if anybody would believe me. And I already had issues with, me telling people stuff and they not believe in me and then it would happen, these kind of things. Other thing was, you and I have both been able to see and talk to people on the other sides as children.

Yeah. So even in my childhood mind, it's how is granddaddy in heaven when I see him all the time? He he's here, he's hanging out in the rocking chair at night. He didn't tell me he was in heaven. Does he go back and forth or what? So it almost you know what, maybe it's a, maybe it's a, like a train that takes 'em back and forth. Could be, from this particular dimension or timeline even. To, this particular one. And then I think what it is we have to be on the frequency so that we can see it. Absolutely. And feel it or visualize it or however, however you process your information.

So we just have to be open. I think God just wants us to be open right? To what we can learn on our own, what we can know on our own, what we can do on our own. And unfortunately, religion shuts that down. Yes. Religion teaches us what we cannot do. Yes. If we want happy, if we wanna go to heaven, spirituality shows us what we can do.

Yes. That's what I love about it. It's amazing. You are God is in you. Whatever God can do, you can do. And Jesus himself in the Bible said that greater things than what I do shall you do. So it's not blasphemy to say that I believe that. And I love when we can come together and talk on it.

This, these are the type of conversations that I absolutely love and I'm so grateful that you came. To speak on it today. Thank you. Yeah, it's just been a blast. And, but we're gonna have to land this plane and I just have my one question that I need to ask you that I ask all of my guests.

That is, I've only gotten to answer the same answer three times in all of, over 200 interviews, I believe. But if there was anything in the world that you could change, what would that be and why? If there was anything in the world that I could change, it would be helping people to understand that you can love God and work in your own power as well.

You can love God, but you can also. Manifest what you want. You can also use your spiritual gifts to change your reality and to help other people change theirs. We don't have to be boxed in order to love God. As a matter of fact, God loves us so much that we can do whatever we wanna do as long as we work with and through God and whatever God is to us.

I love that. I love it. I love it. So let the people know where they can connect with you. The best place. And if you have any last words my. The best way to connect with me is Samantha Speaks 12 twelve.com. That's my website. Most people find me and follow me on TikTok. I also have Instagram and I'm starting to have a presence on YouTube, so you can also find me there.

And my children's book is called Molly Learns to Manifest. And you can get that on Amazon. I promote it because it's about a little girl who learns the power of manifesting despite the fact that her grandma is churchy and doesn't want her to do it. But it's just a clever way. It's for the children, but it also helps adults learn about manifesting and how it's not a sin to do so there's a lot of little nuggets in there where I'm really teaching the adults, but I do it in a children's story way. I love it. But that's a popular thing right now. If you have the dreaming women. Oh. Telling those funny little stories. Have you seen them? I have not.

Oh. I know that Jennifer, Lisa Vest is one of them. I'll have to check that out. And she's on TikTok and YouTube is where I watch her too. But she's one of the dreamers. It's, it is some other ones, but they came on right after, right around the election time and they were the dreaming women. And so they tell stories and they tell 'em from the realms and they have the Lotus Queen and they have the Naked Emperor, nice and Star boy.

You, you'll know who all of those people are, but they tell it in the realm stories and it's the most interesting. As cute as it can be. That's clever. Yeah. Yeah, it is. I thought, wow, this is so nice. And they tell the story, but the way they tell the story, you know who the people are that they're talking about.

It doesn't matter. 'cause all I had to say was the naked emperor and you knew what I was talking about. And so it, it's just the most interesting thing just to be able to tell the stories. And I love the way that you do that. I have to tell you that. Oh, thank you. I am a storyteller from here.

You are ago. It's in my, I'm way back. My DNA. So yeah, you had, I would say at least three past lives being a storyteller, I believe that. I'm looking at you and I can see that. And I'm like, okay. And I said, I need to tell her that. Yeah. I said, you need to tell her that, telling me that. Yeah.

No worries. I believe that, we don't encourage one another enough, and especially as women and also black women, I believe that it's too much competition. Yeah. And I'm not playing into that narrative. No. Because I freely share and I have and one of the things that I tell people, I said, one of the things that I do with this platform and this program that I have is I share people out to the world and I push people out there.

And I do what I can to, put them, put your stuff out there and let people know about you because it's something that God put on me to do. 'cause I didn't know when I started this show, there were not people doing podcasts, summits, and things like that. It was none of that. Yeah. I just had to figure that s**t out.

I just. Started watching them and I still do, like I watch for, inspiration to see if there's another way that I can do something or whatever. I just started doing that and God told me to do it and I was like, okay, I don't have this, I don't know how to do that. Yeah, no.

None of those excuses. No, absolutely not. I didn't have any of that stuff and I didn't have any money to buy anything like that, but God was like, I started on Facebook live. Just doing it when it was up and down boxes. You couldn't even do it on the side. Like you can now, up and down boxes on Facebook Live.

And I would download 'em from Facebook and upload 'em to YouTube. It's I think about that, I'm like, wow, you blamed the trail for sure. I was like, okay. 'cause I kept going, I don't even know what to do. I, and then all of a sudden people started reaching out to me about, I had this podcast thing, I was like, honey, I already did all that. Like I know how to do all that. Yeah. I was like, all I'm trying to do is get people's eyes on it. I said, but I said the rest of it, I got that down. I said, I've been, working on that thing, and getting it down to a science for years now.

I was like, I know how to reach out to people. I ain't got no problem with that. Very good. I said, I figure, if they wanna come, they'll come. If they don't wanna come, they don't come. But I'm gonna offer the opportunity. And then I'm not attached to it either. I appreciate you having me today.

Thank you for speaking into me. I appreciate you and your platform and everything that you're doing. The, you gave me a word, so I'm gonna give you one too. Though the pastor dynamic right, is still with you? Yeah. Okay. So it may not look like a traditional church, but that's still very much a calling.

Yeah. So you know what, I received that because that. That is something that I actually talked to my husband about. I said, should we do an online church? Yes. Because I am an, I am a minister. I'm a what do they call that thing? Metaphysical minister. I was like, it's like I am one, because I told him, I said, we oughta be doing weddings.

I was like, especially for our sisters and brothers in the L-G-B-T-Q community. Yes ma'am. So I'm like, that will be something, and so we're, yeah, we're trying to put that together too. 'cause I was telling 'em, I was like, babe, we, 'cause we live on the ocean. So we can marry people right on the right, on the beach.

Yeah. I see. I don't wanna even marry 'em on the beach. You take pictures. I see it. Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate you. This has been so amazing. I, your energy is wonderful and phenomenal. And that's why we are still here

because, it's hard, to get. It's hard. Yeah, it's hard, 'cause it's, to connect with people and really be in somebody's energy that feels good. That you don't wanna, that you just, you're like, wow, you know what? We could just do a zoom,

just a couple of hours on Zoom. It ends up being, 'cause we just talking. It's oh, okay. Yeah. But this has been amazing. Amazing. Amazing. So thank you so much for joining us on Straight Outta Savannah. Samantha has been just brilliant and I love her journey. I love her gift to the world.
