  Speaker 1: was at Bennett College and many other hbc us. I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: know the value of the h b c U in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: our community, and we have to do what we must
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: do in order to preserve these institutions because my brother,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they have the ability to take those who have unlimited
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: potential and prowess and turned them into our leaders, our
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: doctors and so forth and so on. So we can

  Speaker 1: to be seen during these uh doing the telephone people
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: gonna because we're recording this and also will be on
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the radio, but more important to be dropped on my platform,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: our YouTube platform money main conversations and their platform with
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: YouTube tell us why those those descriptions of those words
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: have value in your life? And we all should adhere
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to them in some way. That's exactly right. Life has
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: lived much better and much more fully and abundantly when
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we believe in the foundation of Christ and then the family. Yes,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: God put us here to procreate and fill the earth
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: with praise for Him. And so when we do that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: through laughter, through loving one another in marriage and respecting
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: each other, and just giving our friendly brother smile, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just give a smile to somebody whatever. You're out in

  Speaker 1: you said that smile, but with this mask. It's really
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: because I'm a person I've I do say hello to people.

  Speaker 1: I say hello, and I try to be uplifting about me,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: about myself and about people around me. I don't want
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to discourage anybody by my personal talking, personal problems. I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: don't try to invite that in somebody else's life. But
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: with the COVID you have this mask. Some people have
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the shields, but I wear a mask, so you can't

  Speaker 1: even as I do work in my ministry at church,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to still be able to serve and get the good
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: news out there as a psalmist. I've been able to

• 6:15
  Speaker 1: platforms right now. Well, I want my honored to have
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you on the show, because it stated more this is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Verhees College stream of thon It Happens December first, were
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like the hype show, getting the word out, letting people
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: know that how important our goal is to raise one
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: million dollars and you say that very correctly early the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: value of HBCUs. Now, you know when you came to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: our world, you know Lantic Star, you know you, I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: think the fourth lead singer, female lead singer that came
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: into the group. So with that being said, how did
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that impact your life? And now that was you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that was now your reverend. You know he was over
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: there in the party lane and you know always secret
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: love circle. How did that how? I mean, how did
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: position happened your life? From a very early age when
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I began singing my brother, I knew that God had
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: his hand on me and I knew that he had
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: something special for me to do. So I ain't always
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: been a same glory to God, but he has been
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: good to me. I never left my side, and even
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: in my time with Atlantic Star. First of all, let
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: me just give a shout out to Wayne, Jonathan and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: David of Atlantic Star, the brothers that picked me to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: be a girl number four. They were just family Christian people,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and so it was it was nothing but God that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: led me to a group that had a foundation as
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: strong as theirs. And believe it or not, now both
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: myself and David are ministers, and right David, David left
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the group right there, follow his calling. Right, It's just
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you could not sure of two masters. I hadn't come
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to that place in my life, and I didn't see
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: why I couldn't not serve two masters but be used
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in the vineyard, on the battlefield out there in the
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: secular world. So I didn't have a problem with that
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: at that time. So I didn't call me to, like
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: about twelve years later, to actually preach the gospel. But
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: let me tell you a funny story. On the road,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I used to run into different women that they would
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: always say to me, Rachel, Rachel, especially in Asia, what
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: does your secret? What what drug do you take? And
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I would say, girl, is Jesus you want? I can
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: tell you about it and it would just go off.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Has always been my strength. It's always been where I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: knew my gifts came from. And I had to just
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: tell everybody even then in Atlantic Star about the good
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: news of Jesus. So he used me even there. That's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it's as a powerful statement, I think, did I say
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that because of the fact that during this period of COVID,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the team we know how it's affected African Americans. You
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: know how it's affected people of color and people who
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: have had preconditions uh illnesses, people over sixty five. How
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to affect your family and your lifestyle other than being
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: because you wasn't and that and about it. We talked
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: about that, but your whole perspective about this year with
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: civil unrest and all that as we close it out
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and during this stream of thought for for Brheese College,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you know, HBCUs are all the more important because in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: this political unrest that we've seen during COVID nineteen, we
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: need to continue to educate our children on their history
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and their culture. America loves our culture, Unfortunately, it doesn't
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: love us as individuals, and so we have to continue
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to build one another up. And education and faith are
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the two most positive ways for our black community to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: do that. You know, my family is heavily rooted in
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: hbc US. I didn't attend an HBCU, but it wasn't
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: because I didn't want to. I wanted to be as
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Felma Nite, But at that time I would have had
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to go to Clark Brown at the majority of my
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Clark curses um and so I just ended up at
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: another school. However, it was you and c Greensborg right
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: there at a n C right and Borgese College had
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a special place in my life too. When we say
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: this real quick, when I was competing for Miss Black America,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: which I was Miss Black American nineteen eighty six, the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: young lady who won my talent competition the year I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: was crowned was a student at none other than before
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: He's College. She was amazingly gifted and talented, beautiful, intelligent.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And you know that's the kind of student that Borhes
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: College producers, wonderful women and incredible men. And that's why
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: even through COVID, we got to come up with this
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: one billion dollars to support the mission and vision of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Borhes College and all hbc us and to keep the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: black family grounded and rooted even through a pandemic. Wow,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: could I close out on that? Rachel? Now? Your articulation,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: because you just to say that is that you know
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: everybody who's coming on the show, Joe Mury, Payton, Don Lewis, Bacari, Sellers,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Sheryl Coley Cooley from our climax. You know, yes, yes,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: but Bill soon come on, and I'm sorry, I I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: can't even stay with you vocally. I am a former
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: comedian and so I can make it sound good and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: make it sound funny, but I can't make it sound
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: like it should be song on the record. But that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: song is universal, really, but you don't put your universal
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Before we go, I want to talk about you doing
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: some volsover work. We mentioned that off air. I wanted
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to just talk about what you're doing. You know, you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: if you're not you know, atlantic start just part of
• 11:21

• 11:27

• 11:29
  Speaker 1: doing with Bubba Night, but also what the voss over
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: work you're doing right now to keeping you busy as
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: well well the voice of the work I'm doing right
• 11:36

• 11:39

• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I touted my my pastor's book that he has out
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: right now. I'm unplugged, and so I just keep busy
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: through the church because you know what I'm really doing.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm keeping two teenagers half me, and I'm keeping them
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: focused on the future because I don't want our young
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: people to get bogged down and what's going on around them. See,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you can't live life looking at your circumstances but looking
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: towards your future because circumstances changed, right, my brother, who
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: holds our future. And so that's really what I'm concentrating on.

• 12:22
  Speaker 1: music in the middle of producing my own gospel album
