and always hot with the sense of life or joey but the vast shipwreck. and as the man never tried. with as we slept with a the grass below. . . after that, i had a sexual abuse incident happened in my parents had left made with the family they were taking care of me. i don't want to tell you too much because i wanted to read the book. i will give you a little taste and that was difficult because i didn't want to be there. i wasn't safe and they were drug addicts so they didn't really think about that much. so i had to take care of myself and i unfortunately didn't listen to the mother of the house who told me don't go into so-and-so's room if he ask you to. he was 16 and he offered me candy one day and i would end. i didn't listen and i didn't do what i was told so i came out and well you will read it in the book. it wasn't nice. finally my mother brings me, and i have a little brother which was my joy. he was my little baby and, but my parents were not well. they were worse than they had ever been. my mother tried to take her life i saved her life because i found her. i was told to leave her alone but i was a five year-year-old and i was stubborn and i like to do things my way so i tried to wake her anyway. i couldn't so i screamed for my cousins and they came in and the next thing i know she was taken away in an ambulance. i later realized she had committed suicide. i had an uncle, my uncle ferdinand. he was a very powerful figure in my neighborhood. i grew up in the south bronx and it was great because the kids, the neighborhood everyone, you played in the streets and play jump rope and hopscotch and stick all and we talk to each other and we ran around and played tag really play games but there was also a -- so i'm not going to lie that we had an uncle who had a lot of prestige and power and he knew i was the niece and they said don't mess with stacy. bad things will happen to you. my uncle freddie always told me you were special. there is something about you that is special and you can do anything you want to do in this life. don't ever be anybody's trick and when the jesus train comes make sure you are on it. as the little girl i got the jesus part to the trick part i was like he must mean dog let people play tricks on me. it wasn't until i found out that he was a that he was talking about something else but anyway he was my favorite uncle because he showed me love, so much love. he took care of me and made me feel like i was special. my mother never did. my mother never told me i was pretty or beautiful or special or any of those things. i feel if your mother doesn't tell you no matter who does in your life, it never sinks in. they can save say it in the magazines and they can say it on tv. but if your mother never tells you you never think it. so i'm still in search of that feeling of line beautiful. i still have to wake up in the morning and say to myself you are worth it, you are good enough. it's still a battle and i have to get that courage and that fortitude from god. he's the only one that can make me feel better. i can do all these other things that you will read about in the book and i have made a lot of mistakes. i've been married three times and divorced three times but i have two beautiful children. my son is special because i almost didn't have him. i was pregnant with him at the time i was doing things that i should shouldn't have been doing that i was doing drugs and you would think after being with parents that do drugs i would know better but i did them in spite of myself. it did them to spite them and they did them because me being a good girl wasn't good enough so i said okay i'm going to do drugs. instead of hurting them i just hurt myself. when i found out i was pregnant i was so far along i was in an abusive relationship. the man i was with was beating me on a daily basis and i just thought i can't bring a child into this world. i'm doing drugs and it's not going to work. they had to put me under, put the ivy in me but i was crying and i was crying and i was crying and i couldn't stop. this is later on in my life. i had to teach myself how to stop crying. they learned how to be mad instead of sad but at this moment i could not stop crying so i said to god, god you have to tell me what to do. i don't want a sign, don't want to signal, you have to tell me what to do because this doesn't feel like -- something is wrong and god spoke to me. like i'm speaking to you right now he said keep your son. he even told me it was a boy. i ripped the ivy out of my arm, i jumped up and the nurses thought it was crazy and the doctors thought it was crazy. they said, down stacey but you get this feeling when you make a decision. they are going to take it i had to get it out of me and i had to get out of there. i was keeping my baby and my doctor such as hold on us to a sonogram and make sure everything is okay. that was the best thing he could have ever done because when we did that sonogram i felt this little pea-sized heartbeat inside of me and all i could think was how could you possibly imagine getting rid of this little life rowing inside of you i just thought it's you and me kid, that's it. i knew the man i was with was not going to be around and i knew the other man that was stalking me was not going to stop stalking me but i was going to fight for me and for my son. my son suddenly made highlight important. i stopped doing all drugs. i stopped doing anything bad for my body but i couldn't stop the outside things that were happening to me. my son and i, had my son and i got a job thank god. my career was going well and everything was going fine. my son turned three and we had to move because like i said i was being stalked. he found out where he lived so i would move and i would move. i moved five or six times, can't even tell you, me and my little boy. at three years old when he was three years old i got a gun. enough is enough. thankfully i did because this man decided to break the door and off the hinges and come into the house. my son was asleep upstairs and he beat me up so i ran upstairs and i got my gun and i tried to kill him. i tried to kill him. i shot at his head and i want him dead tree thank god i missed. but the moral to that story is what i'm doing now at night age because i have a 12-year-old little girl i decided i was no longer going to have premarital sex. i'm not going to do it anymore because i now realized it was a part of my soul that is precious and the only person that deserves that is the man that has vowed to god to stay with me for the rest of my life. i now understand what marriage is and how important it is and how important it is to children. if i'm teaching that to my child who is 12 no premarital sex than i have too do the same thing in and the best way teaches by example. so that's what i'm doing. my strength i believe, stand up for what i know to be true for me and i know to be true and are able to god comes from god. when people say stacy how do you take all of the backlash, it's not me, it's the grace of god. all i can say to you girls is as you were growing there so much that you are going to face in so many things that you will want to do and so many men that are going to want -- make you want to do things but remember you are valuable. you are valuable. before you are valuable you are worthy of god's love and we are grateful that god's love is unconditional. i believe it's never too soon and it's never too late. so with that i would love to now open it up to you to ask me whatever you want. [applause] span this is one very brave lady. thank you very much for sharing your story. ladies and students of the wooden mind lining up to ask questions. please give your name and your college. don't be shy. >> please don't be shy. >> stand up and ask. >> stacy, thank you. thank you for sharing your very wonderful story and it's very admirable that you have come to share this with all of us and share your struggle and not really difficult road. i would say what is your biggest challenge? >> my biggest challenge is man. i want to be loved. i want to be married and my biggest challenge is sticking to my vows to god. that is my biggest challenge because i love love and i have to learn how to take it slowly and trust god, that he will come my knight in shining armor. >> my name is abigail and my friends call me at the. my question to you is you are -- you were a liberal in hollywood. where was that transitioned? was there a moment you decided you were going to be conservative or was it a slow process? >> there was a moment. i was having a conversation with a man that i was dating at the time and he was a very wealthy man. we were talking about social issues and i said to him, that doesn't sound right. it sounds like social and -- socialism and he said stacey you are living in a socialist society. this isn't about 20 lap and i said know that can't be right. that can't be right. i don't like obama and i don't like what he's doing it that i started to think about it and i said it is socialism so i started paying more attention to politics and how they apply to the right and what should i do about it. and what i did is i voted for the only hope for the future and i got backlash because people thought because i'm black i have to vote for the black and which is absurd. you should judge people by their character and not by the color of their skin. that's what i believe and that's what i think everyone should he leave. thank you. >> i'm emily and i attend liberty university and my question is how do -- on college campuses were being blacklisted for conservative ideals? >> yes, plant your feet firmly in what you believe in and stand that's all i can tell you, to stand. don't defend yourself because you have nothing to defend. you have a right to your beliefs and if someone wants to bully you they are the ones that are --, not you. god bless you and i commend your bravery. >> i name is clare. i was wondering when you made your conversion did you talk to any conservative woman in particular that talk to you? >> yes, margaret thatcher. i love her. i loved how she went and achieved so much even though so many people tried to tell her no you can't do that's impossible. she proved it was possible. >> hi my name is andrea. i was wondering. [inaudible] c the people who are my true that friends are supported. a lot of my friends from clueless are still supportive of me but then there are a lot of people who are no longer my friends. they just stop talking to me. family members as well. but that's okay because i believe if god wants you to do something he opens up the doors and all you have to do is walk through them and that's what i'm doing. thank you. >> thank you. an odd you are one of the most beautiful people. c thank you, very sweet. >> i'm so frustrated by hillary clinton. i have never dreamed of that. >> like she was the one who invented it. [laughter] c newsflash. >> i'm just wondering what you did would say to people -- i'm sure this roomful of people are not interested in voting for her what do you say to young women in this room who are shifting because she is the presumptive nominee? if you talk to people on fox or people around the country if you talk about hillary how do you discuss the future for young women? >> i speak to women and i have a rant called dash american what am i platforms is 21st century and that is being a lady just like every single one of you that i see and hear. being a woman, dressing like a woman, behaving like a lady, using all the tools god gave you and don't ever let anyone shame you. you don't have to dress like a man you can just like a woman which is how she dresses. you can still be beautiful where you are. dresses and do your hair and your makeup and run for president. you don't have to be like her. please don't be like her. [laughter] >> my name is danielle and i know you talk a lot about feeling beautiful and worthy and the struggles and i'm sure every girl in this room has felt not beautiful at one point. is there a particular -- when you don't feel that way? >> where's my sister? >> that is the one. is that the one where he says i have counted the hairs on your head's in your mothers womb. that is the one i go to. yeah. thank you. thank you for your help. >> hi stacy. i go to patrick henry college.
