1:54
Speaker 1: people put their children in evenge How did you how

Speaker 1: did how did it just became such a dynamic mode
2:00
Speaker 1: evader for you? Well, and it came it was an outlet,
2:03
Speaker 1: you know, it was more for me something to do
2:06
Speaker 1: to kind of escape the world that was around me.
2:10
Speaker 1: Then became way for me and just be free and
2:13
Speaker 1: feel free with no stress, no worries, no judgment because
2:17
Speaker 1: nancs it's it's so many different things. Just thought christ said,
2:22
Speaker 1: it's no right or wrong way, it's just either it's
2:24
Speaker 1: movement with excitement and happiness. For me, it just became
2:28
Speaker 1: something that it was just a vital, pivotal part of
2:31
Speaker 1: my life and importance to me. Right right, and uh.
2:36
Speaker 1: And then that being the way it says is that
2:38
Speaker 1: let's talk about your background and when it started to
2:40
Speaker 1: start that home life. So if I'm reading everything correctly, here, Um,
2:44
Speaker 1: your mom she took care of a lot of foster kids,
2:46
Speaker 1: correct she did. Yeah, and you kind of like took
2:50
Speaker 1: on a kind of a periminal role in that basically
2:53
Speaker 1: they lived there, but she was kind of like the
2:56
Speaker 1: the mom. And so how did that act your life
3:00
Speaker 1: as a kid? Did it take away from you being
3:02
Speaker 1: a kid or did it advance your maturity? How did
3:05
Speaker 1: that have How did that affect you? Well? I think
3:08
Speaker 1: honestly it affected me positively and negatively. I learned how
3:13
Speaker 1: to be more organized, I learned how to be more
3:16
Speaker 1: responsible early on, but at the same time, being ten
3:20
Speaker 1: and eleven years old, I didn't really want the responsibility
3:24
Speaker 1: of cleaning a house and having to cook and taking
3:27
Speaker 1: care of kids when I was simply a kid myself.
3:30
Speaker 1: But as I was back on, you know, as I've
3:32
Speaker 1: gotten older, it is definitely, you know, kept me where
3:36
Speaker 1: I need to be, definitely kept my head on a
3:39
Speaker 1: swimbl It's definitely, you know, made me be the stronger,
3:42
Speaker 1: stronger person, definitely, And being a stronger person is that,
3:46
Speaker 1: you know, allowed you to experience some negative things in
3:49
Speaker 1: your youth and some negative things in your adult And
3:51
Speaker 1: we'll get to that later on, but let's talk about
3:53
Speaker 1: your youth and let's talk about the story that you
3:56
Speaker 1: Why did you write this book? Ms? Williams, Well, I
4:00
Speaker 1: wrote this book because I felt like there was a
4:02
Speaker 1: need for me to pretty much get it out and
4:05
Speaker 1: get it off from my chest. I wasn't able to
4:06
Speaker 1: really function, if that makes any sense. I wasn't able
4:09
Speaker 1: to function and move on and just be happy because
4:13
Speaker 1: I felt like there was just something missing. There was
4:15
Speaker 1: a part of me that just that just wasn't It
4:18
Speaker 1: wasn't fair. I wasn't all the way there, I wasn't
4:20
Speaker 1: happy and I couldn't really figure out why I wasn't
4:24
Speaker 1: as happy as I should have been. Here, I am
4:26
Speaker 1: at a at a peace point in my life. I
4:29
Speaker 1: have people think out the world my fingertips, you know.
4:31
Speaker 1: But I'm still human. I have a great televing the show,
4:34
Speaker 1: I have a great family, I have a thriving business.
4:37
Speaker 1: Getting Still, something was missing, and I think that one
4:40
Speaker 1: part of me, steal was missing that acceptance from my mom,
4:44
Speaker 1: closure from the situation with my mom and my dad,
4:48
Speaker 1: and just kind of getting it out if The book
4:50
Speaker 1: was very much so therapeutic for me because I was
4:53
Speaker 1: able to talk about things that I had never said
4:56
Speaker 1: out loud before. It was helpful in area on the
5:00
Speaker 1: was very helpful. Now that's important. Let's talk about that
5:03
Speaker 1: relationship with your mom and your dad. Your dad was
5:06
Speaker 1: there and then he was moved. Then he moved out.
5:08
Speaker 1: What what age did he moved out of the house. Um,
5:12
Speaker 1: I would say moved out kind of got put out. Well,
5:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you tell some of your story too,
5:18
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be negative about anything in
5:20
Speaker 1: your life. I don't want to portray an image of
5:22
Speaker 1: your life because it is your experience. You know what
5:24
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Well, it was so it was and uh
5:34
Speaker 1: and and so not having that farther figure. You said
5:37
Speaker 1: in the book that it reflected on how your view
5:41
Speaker 1: and your relationship with men, and how you should move
5:44
Speaker 1: forward and how men should be approaching you because at
5:47
Speaker 1: the age of thirteen, you was violated by your babysitter,
5:51
Speaker 1: uh when he groped you. And while you play the
5:54
Speaker 1: video game and so and that that that had a
5:56
Speaker 1: lasting impression on you. And then your father is not there.
5:59
Speaker 1: That at an equal equal important message that you're trying
6:03
Speaker 1: to tell people about the importantesce of of a positive
6:06
Speaker 1: male figure, not only in anybody's life, but especially in
6:10
Speaker 1: a young female girl's life. Correct, that's the holy and
6:13
Speaker 1: it's also too it. The message was to send a
6:15
Speaker 1: message to parents with watch who you guys your kids around.
6:19
Speaker 1: Don't leave your kids with this anybody, because the face
6:22
Speaker 1: that they put arts is not always the face that
6:24
Speaker 1: they are. I mean, this man was somebody that not
6:26
Speaker 1: only my mother lives with, My grandparents liked him. He
6:29
Speaker 1: was always around the kids at the different schools. But
6:32
Speaker 1: I guess because he saw me in a vulnerable state,
6:35
Speaker 1: wanted my mom's attention. My dad wasn't there. I had
6:38
Speaker 1: all this responsibility of my siblings. I don't know if
6:42
Speaker 1: he just felt like maybe I needed attention. I'm not
6:44
Speaker 1: exactly share because that treame out of nowhere. It happened,
6:48
Speaker 1: and I didn't really know whether to react or not react,
6:53
Speaker 1: or I didn't really know what was happening or how
6:56
Speaker 1: to even handle it right, And it's importantly. I'm on
6:59
Speaker 1: the she's on the phone. She's from the start of
7:02
Speaker 1: the hit show on Lifetime. Bring It. She's a very
7:05
Speaker 1: She's released a very significant, significant book called Standing in
7:10
Speaker 1: the Shade. That's Diana and Williams. Diana Homestaate is Mississippi, correct, absolutely, so,
7:17
Speaker 1: you know aboudy good food, I'm sure right, Oh yeah.
7:21
Speaker 1: Other food is hard to find. And you know about HBCUs.
7:26
Speaker 1: There's a certain amount of pride in this book about
7:29
Speaker 1: graduating from hbc U school. Why is that important? Well,
7:34
Speaker 1: you know, I grew up in HBC town in Jackson, Mississippi,
7:38
Speaker 1: and then also to I have family that went to school,
7:41
Speaker 1: you know here right here in Atlanta. My my uncle
7:45
Speaker 1: Billy graduated from more Houity' a more house man. I
7:49
Speaker 1: went to Lawrence Brown, you know, and then my family
7:52
Speaker 1: that's on the Howard and majority the other majority of
7:56
Speaker 1: going to Jackson State. But I knew I was going
7:58
Speaker 1: to end up at Jackson State somehow from where my
8:00
Speaker 1: mother graduated from JAH. So mean, HBCUs have been a
8:04
Speaker 1: part of our life. It was always, you know, meant
8:07
Speaker 1: to be proud to be an African American. You had
8:09
Speaker 1: to go to an HBC. You was the only way
8:12
Speaker 1: you were gonna learn what it truly meant to be black.
8:14
Speaker 1: And in college, you know, going to different schools. You
8:18
Speaker 1: know the met Act and you know the SEC schools
8:21
Speaker 1: and a lot of other D one schools. It's amazing.
8:23
Speaker 1: But you don't get that black college experience unless you're
8:25
Speaker 1: at a black college. That's true because I went to
8:29
Speaker 1: University of Houston, and I don't know the experience, but
8:31
Speaker 1: the experience is always excited when I see it though
8:34
Speaker 1: it's on fire, that it's on fire. Now, you chose
8:37
Speaker 1: a degree in criminal justice. That was that's interesting, You're
8:41
Speaker 1: you're prominent. Why why why that degree? Plan? Well, I
8:45
Speaker 1: chose criminal justice with the concentration and judicial justice because
8:48
Speaker 1: of everything that happened to me. I felt like I
8:50
Speaker 1: needed to have some type of power and to enforce
8:53
Speaker 1: some things in my life that I didn't have the
8:56
Speaker 1: opportunity to really control. And me being able to and
9:00
Speaker 1: for some type of control was perfect for me because
9:03
Speaker 1: it was like, when you know what, Hey, let me
9:05
Speaker 1: put myself in a position of power. Through school gains
9:08
Speaker 1: all the knowledge that I need to gain about the
9:11
Speaker 1: criminal justice system, so things that could potentially could have
9:15
Speaker 1: happened to me, if it happened again, happen to anyone else,
9:20
Speaker 1: then let's control then. And this was and then my
9:22
Speaker 1: concentration in juvenal justice them from me basically saying, you
9:27
Speaker 1: know what, I can try to be a protector of children.
9:30
Speaker 1: I could be a protector of children in some way
9:32
Speaker 1: shape warmer fashion. And this was my way of feeling
9:34
Speaker 1: that she's on the phone, standing in the shade is
9:37
Speaker 1: the name of the book. Will be back with more,
9:39

10:01
Speaker 1: Jackson State University. You know, hpc Uth Finest. She's the
10:05
Speaker 1: founder of Doll Hall Studios, author and starved a hit
10:08
Speaker 1: Lifetime show. Bring It. She's back on the phone. Please
10:11
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show, Miss Diana m Williams. Diana
10:15
Speaker 1: in this book Your Mama. Just describe your mama before
10:20
Speaker 1: I say something. Describe your mama. Can you hear me? Hello?
10:27
Speaker 1: I'm not sure? Hello? Is she buying something? Hello? I'm here.
10:33
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Would you start the chick filio or something?
10:37
Speaker 1: What's going on? Nine? You stopped the Chickfilio? Okay? Col Yeah? Cool? Yes, um,
10:43
Speaker 1: okay cool. Just sit right there now. I was asking
10:45
Speaker 1: you about your mom. Please describe to me your relationship
10:49
Speaker 1: with your mom and give me an insight on exactly
10:52
Speaker 1: who your mom. What role did your mom play in
10:55
Speaker 1: your life? My mom was very firm. She was individual.
11:01
Speaker 1: She you know, kind of had her own way about
11:04
Speaker 1: life about everything. You know, she had her own way
11:06
Speaker 1: to do things, the way she wanted things done. She's
11:09
Speaker 1: a spery, vocal spokeing. But I mean, she was my mom,
11:14
Speaker 1: you know, because you know she did some things like
11:17
Speaker 1: when you you know, when you were late for the bus,
11:19
Speaker 1: because she rolled the bus. She was a bus driver
11:22
Speaker 1: and correct and uh like I would read the book
11:26
Speaker 1: like when you're late, she'd leave you. So so why
11:30
Speaker 1: how did she expound on that? Was that she just
11:32
Speaker 1: teaching a variable lesson about being on time? No, I
11:36
Speaker 1: think she was just being a book to because I
11:39
Speaker 1: was like, I was on time. If I'm your child,
11:42
Speaker 1: I don't care if I'm five minutes later. You don't
11:45
Speaker 1: leave your child running down the streets behind the scoop.
11:48
Speaker 1: There's no there's no understanding behind that, there's no reason
11:52
Speaker 1: behind that. That just doesn't make any sense to do that.
11:56
Speaker 1: Doesn't make any sense to do that. And I think
11:58
Speaker 1: that because she was trying to make her point that
12:01
Speaker 1: if I wasn't where she wanted me to be at
12:03
Speaker 1: that moment, then it was just a jung heo, right
12:07
Speaker 1: and that and and so that's what I'm saying. I
12:08
Speaker 1: was just trying to get a description because you know,
12:11
Speaker 1: you know, you had to take she bringing these foster
12:13
Speaker 1: kids and basically you took care of them. Um, she didn't.
12:17
Speaker 1: She was in there and key, young girl, moments in
12:21
Speaker 1: your life, correct and you know if you were running
12:26
Speaker 1: late for a bus, she she's going sorry. And the
12:29
Speaker 1: bus was at the house now, the bus was parked
12:32
Speaker 1: at the front in the front yard, and she was
12:35
Speaker 1: let me make sure that I was finding If everybody understands,
12:38
Speaker 1: the bus was parked in up in our driveway at
12:40
Speaker 1: the back yard. We had a huge backyard, so it
12:42
Speaker 1: was talked our long driveway was parked in the back
12:44
Speaker 1: of the driveway. My bedroom is side at that door.
12:47
Speaker 1: So I would go out of the back door to
12:49
Speaker 1: get on the bus every day. And if I missed
12:51
Speaker 1: her leaving the house to go pick up the rest
12:54
Speaker 1: of the kids, I needed to be on the corner
12:56
Speaker 1: as she was drawing through out of the neighborhood for
12:59
Speaker 1: me to be able to get on the bus on time.
13:01
Speaker 1: So I had one or two toys to be to
13:02
Speaker 1: get on the bus then or to stand out on
13:04
Speaker 1: the corner and way, And a lot of times I
13:06
Speaker 1: would know if the other if she had passed by already,
13:10
Speaker 1: when she was coming, or what happened. So I would
13:12
Speaker 1: always try to make sure that I got on the
13:14
Speaker 1: bus gets in the at the hour before she left,
13:17
Speaker 1: I was trying to wait on the corner. I never
13:18
Speaker 1: knew because the other kids were already gone, so I
13:20
Speaker 1: could just sending out there for no reason and not
13:22
Speaker 1: even no way that she's already gone because I was
13:26
Speaker 1: gonna call the house and say hey, I'm coming back,
13:28
Speaker 1: or because there was no cellphone pager back then, not
13:32
Speaker 1: have anything. I mean, so she was not like she
13:34
Speaker 1: was gonna do that because she didn't do it then,
13:36
Speaker 1: and I knew she just wouldn't have cool now despite
13:39
Speaker 1: all those Uh, I guess a parenting antics by your
13:43
Speaker 1: mom that didn't diminish your love for her, correct you, No,
13:48
Speaker 1: I mean it didn't. I mean I wanted her attention,
13:51
Speaker 1: you know. I wanted definitely attention, and I think any
13:54
Speaker 1: child wants the attention of their parents, any childers. I
13:58
Speaker 1: definitely wanted her attention to wasn't It just wasn't what
14:02
Speaker 1: I wanted it to be. At thirteen, four teen years old,
14:05
Speaker 1: at the turning point in a young girl's life, they're
14:07
Speaker 1: preaching or young you don't, they don't. You're trying to
14:10
Speaker 1: figure out who you are. Your body is constantly changing.
14:13
Speaker 1: There's things happening you just don't know. And with me
14:17
Speaker 1: being the only girl in my house full of bool is,
14:19
Speaker 1: nobody talked to me about fighting changing or about you know,
14:23
Speaker 1: boys or aboulcating or makeup or hair. And you know,
14:27
Speaker 1: I didn't have those conversations. I learned about watching my
14:29
Speaker 1: tears at school, and it was it was rough. I
14:32
Speaker 1: want to I wanna lie. It was it was really
14:33
Speaker 1: roughness having things happened to me, people saying things to me.
14:38
Speaker 1: I was fully healthfully in school, and I didn't go
14:41
Speaker 1: into details in that it was with that in the book,
14:45
Speaker 1: but I was really heavily in school. I had and
14:48
Speaker 1: my whole aunt bed put in my locker, my hair
14:51
Speaker 1: was cut. I mean, I've had peanut butter putting the
14:54
Speaker 1: feet from my of my desk speaker. People knew, I
14:57
Speaker 1: always said in the same beause I had to sit
14:58
Speaker 1: in the point because my mom went a loud to
15:00
Speaker 1: see anywhere else in the front of the class, but
15:02
Speaker 1: because my mom drove to school. But she was making
15:05
Speaker 1: comments and telling on the other kids that they got
15:07
Speaker 1: off on the wrong side for you know what, they
15:09
Speaker 1: were the one things that weren't the foss as well.
15:11
Speaker 1: Of course I get the replications for being them that
15:14
Speaker 1: child mama was a snitched, but they didn't make life
15:18
Speaker 1: easier for me at all. Cool. Well, you know, I
15:20
Speaker 1: just wanted people that I want you to expand on
15:22
Speaker 1: that because of the fact that you know, there you
15:26
Speaker 1: went from Mississippi and you moved to California, and then
15:28
Speaker 1: when you got to California, let's go to the dark
15:31
Speaker 1: side of the book, when you got into UH with
15:34
Speaker 1: the strip clubs and started dancing, which it led to
15:37
Speaker 1: another career that you're not happy about. That's in the
15:39
Speaker 1: point of graphic industry, point of industry, and all that
15:42
Speaker 1: was tied to UH. You are trying to make money
15:46
Speaker 1: paying for medical bills for your mom. Okay, let's gonna
15:49
Speaker 1: be real and trying to exist because a lot of people,
15:52
Speaker 1: you know, they trying to condemned things and they put
15:55
Speaker 1: so and you explain that please stop putting this um
15:58
Speaker 1: this face or just you a type on that everybody
16:01
Speaker 1: who does certain things, there are these type of people
16:04
Speaker 1: that there was my big takeaway from your book when
16:05
Speaker 1: you got to that section of the book. Correct, m absolutely.
16:09
Speaker 1: I mean it was like the people that I met
16:11
Speaker 1: when I first moved to California who were some of
16:14
Speaker 1: the most amazing women. I don't keep in contact with them,
16:17
Speaker 1: but I do follow them on social their own businesses,
16:20
Speaker 1: their doctors. I know one that is a lawyer that
16:22
Speaker 1: owned her own firm, that her mother and there, I mean,
16:24
Speaker 1: they're entrepreneur. These are great women. They weren't in this
16:27
Speaker 1: industry to just get a quick book. They had a plan.
16:31
Speaker 1: They were in college, and it was amazing to see
16:34
Speaker 1: that at my age. I'm eighteen, nineteen years old and
16:37
Speaker 1: these two women are twenty five to thirty and they
16:40
Speaker 1: make they're making it happen. You know it is for me.
16:42
Speaker 1: I don't call a point where I call it adult films,
16:44
Speaker 1: because that's to me what it was at that time
16:47
Speaker 1: and what it still is to this day. And for me,
16:50
Speaker 1: at that time in my life, I knew that my
16:52
Speaker 1: mom needed me without even saying that she even needed me.
16:56
Speaker 1: I knew she needed me back then when I was
16:58
Speaker 1: a kid, helping her get everything handled in my with
17:00
Speaker 1: those kids. And it took me a long time to
17:02
Speaker 1: come to grass with the fact that a grown woman
17:04
Speaker 1: needed me to help her do something. And now here
17:07
Speaker 1: she is remarried to a guy who doesn't even speak
17:10
Speaker 1: to me. To a person who put me in the
17:12
Speaker 1: same position that Kenneth put me in, made me feel
17:14
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable in my own house. I mean here, I
17:17
Speaker 1: am moving back. Nobody told me about being or nobody
17:20
Speaker 1: told me about the things that we're going on, cause
17:22
Speaker 1: I'm not blind. I can see it. I see what's happening.
17:25
Speaker 1: I'm watching it happened, I'm seeing it. So it just
17:28
Speaker 1: makes it makes sense. It just makes sense. And I
17:32
Speaker 1: figured I needed to do something sin to allow my family,
17:35
Speaker 1: my mom, my, five brothers to be here in the street.
17:38
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm standing right here was an opportunity to

19:19
Speaker 1: and she's a beautiful brown colored dog that looks it's
19:23
Speaker 1: identical to me. It's something that I thought was important
19:26
Speaker 1: necessarity for young brown girls to see someone that looks
19:29
Speaker 1: just like them, someone that they look up to, someone
19:32
Speaker 1: that is making loose and an entrepreneur, a suctressful one

Speaker 1: at that. But they can say, hell, you know what,
19:37
Speaker 1: she has one of them, maybe I can have one too.

Speaker 1: And I grew up with Tupid's tact than the racket
19:43
Speaker 1: again and Nancy Dolls and I had a rapistressed doll.
19:46
Speaker 1: She was brown, but all the browns dogs looked alike,
19:49
Speaker 1: and all brown people don't look alike. So I didn't
19:52
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, actually had anything that looked like
19:55
Speaker 1: anyone else. And because I'm unique in every way, I
