Transcript

Meet LaShe Antoinette And Her Debut

SPEAKER_00 0:26

Welcome everybody back to the show, B3U. And today I have the honor of being with the author of Faith of Flight, Miss Lache Antoinette. Welcome to B3U. Welcome, welcome. How are you today? I'm good. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 0:43

And hello, everyone.

SPEAKER_00 0:44

Yeah, so congratulations on your debut. Faith of Flight aired today. It was it came out today. So I know you're excited about that. And uh just tell us a little bit about yourself.

SPEAKER_02 0:58

Yes, I am um I wrote Faith of Flight, which is a book that was dear to my heart. Um, I am a flight attendant for one of the major airlines. And how I got into aviation, um, there is an honorary behind that story, and that's where the book Faith of Flight came from. Um, beyond that, I'm I also hold um a master's in clinical social work. So um I do a lot of advocate for um the services and within the community. But faith and flight um comes from my heart, and I was able to share this story with the world.

Dark Season That Sparked The Book

SPEAKER_00 1:34

Okay, awesome. So what's the story? Uh tell me, tell us a little bit about the story. Why, what inspired you to write Faith of Flight?

SPEAKER_02 1:43

Okay, Faith of Flight came from um a place or one of the, I would say, darkest moments of my life. Um, the time when I was going through um a divorce, marriage, and separation all in one, well, in steps rather. But during that time, I was journaling a lot, you know, asking God for um help and trying to find out what direction I wanted to go into in life with myself, with my career. And um, I leaned more into the word, and that's how I came into journaling and having devotions and bringing it all together. Um, faith and flight, I think that people carry baggage around. You know, when we think of baggage, we think of bags in our hand. But people carry baggage that we can't see. And faith of light, you know, it was more about that reader, that person that's smiling on the outside but crying in the inside. Um, that person that doesn't know how to pour into their self anymore, because sometimes life weighs you down to where you feel like you're alone or you can't pour back into yourself. So that's where um faith and flight was birthed from.

SPEAKER_00 3:03

Okay. So just basically, and we all um do that so it's amazing. We all carry badgets that we don't even know. Uh, we always try to be strong. What so is the is the book teller more to women or just all?

SPEAKER_02 3:19

Just all, because I think anyone could go through um any kind of turbulence. So I use, I start off with my testimony um and my story of what I went through, how I got through it, and how God, you know, strengthened my face, faith through my testimony, through my journey, because it was definitely a journey for me, um, through the abuse, um, the toxic behavior, and everything that life threw at me during that time. So after my story and testimony and the book that leads the reader into their day one of their devotion.

Aviation Metaphors For Trusting God

SPEAKER_00 4:03

Okay. Awesome. So it starts off with your story and then it goes into devotions for every day.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

Yes, devotions for every day. And I take the reader through the phases of flight. So there's different phase phases of flight. You have your boarding, and you know, on the plane, you trust the pilot to get you to your destination. So I use the in-flights as metaphors for when I'm talking about God. When I say trust the pilot, I'm talking about trusting God.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 4:35

So you trust the pilot to lead you to your destination. You don't know the route he's taking. You come on the plane, you sit down, you buckle in, you have your ticket, your seat, but you don't know the route the pilot is taking because we can't see that far in advance out the window. And we don't know how to fall out of the plane. But it's just the same for God. You know, we have to trust him that he knows the path and the route that he has laid out for our life. But we have to buckle in and hold on and have faith that he'll get us to our destination safely.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

Okay. So, what moment, uh, LeShea, was it that you were inspired to write the book? What made you say, hey, I've been through this, but I I want to help other people? Like when did you was it during or after your trauma, during your trauma before? What inspired you to just say, I want to help more to people?

SPEAKER_02 5:33

It was it was after my trauma. Um, just traveling the world and meeting people and from all over different cultures and learning from people and learning that we are going through the similar things. A lot of people are going through the same exact thing. And I've talked with so many people that don't know how to get this stuff out of a stuck situation.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

And it's not only you are familiar with some people's stories, what inspired you to do that? Yes. Okay. Yes.

From Trauma To Calling On The Road

SPEAKER_02 6:05

Yes. And I always give acknowledgments too, you know, I've I take it as I learn something every day from someone. Um, on my journey through traveling, I was able to travel continents, countries, states, and meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. In every culture, in every background, in every corner of the world, someone is going through something or feel like they're stuck in this something. And it doesn't have to always do with relationships and marriage. It could be a job, it could be your family situation, it could be a situation with your children, um, anything where you just feel like you need to change or you feel stuck or you lost your faith somewhere along the way. This book is for you.

SPEAKER_00 6:50

And that's amazing. That's and that's what uh B3U is about. You know, everybody is going through something somewhere. It doesn't matter the United States, yes, other countries. So I applaud you. I applaud you for just you know um writing a book, getting it out there, and I can cannot wait to get my hands on it. Thank you. Um, and will there be more books?

SPEAKER_02 7:24

Yes, this is yes, it is. This is book one of a four-book series.

unknown 7:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

So definitely stay tuned because there's other faith books that's coming out. So this is book one of a four-book series.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Okay, that's that's awesome. So I'm gonna be, I'm telling you now, I'm gonna be on all four, all four of them. Uh, so what I want to know now is is it one specific chapter in the book or one specific thing that's in the book that you hold dear or the message that you want to highlight more to anyone?

Universal Struggle And Who It’s For

SPEAKER_02 8:07

Yes, it was um, you know, I read this, I read it front to back, back to front, over and over again, and I get choked up every time. Um, so there's a part in there where it's talking about my testimony and my story. And it talks about how God was sending me angels, he was sending me people, he was sending me signs, and this part of the story that I never shared with anyone. So this will be the first time that anyone, even my family, um heard this part of the story. So um, so God was sending me messages trying to get through to me. Um, and I was ignoring this because signs and red flags in your life will always be there. Rather, we take heed or we ignore it, or we just not ready. Sometimes we're just not ready to face what he's trying to show us yet. And we go on and continue to do what we want to do. But it's the part where he he brung someone dear to my heart, um, which is my aunt Nancy, um, whom she passed away, and he brought her to me in my sleep, and she came to me. And after that um situation, it and I knew it was real because it it felt real and it was really vivid, and I can really see and speak to her. And she spoke words into me, she spoke life into me. And after that, my whole life uh started to shift the way everything started to change as I followed the directions that she gave me. And this, and that was really what shifted me into going into aviation. It it shifted my heart into releasing my baggage completely and saying, okay, God, I I get it now. I see it. It's time for a change. This is it's time for me to step out on faith because I was so scared um of change. I was so scared to um stop relying on other things and jobs, and and I was scared to step out on faith because we don't know what it looks like when we step out on faith. We're scared to fail. That's right. You know, we we're scared to step into the unknown. You know, we always try to be in control of our situations when he's in control. So once I once I realized that and and stepped out on faith, everything just started to fall into place. Everything started to fall into place.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

It's like getting and I am uh getting out of our own way, right? Getting out of your own way. Yes. Yeah, I know you had that because we've all been through that where we pray, pray, pray, pray. And then we we pray for guidance and direction and father help us, and then what do we do? We go right back to get it right.

A Private Vision That Shifted Everything

SPEAKER_02 11:15

Yes, we ask for help and then we pick it back up. We worry and we ask for God to take fix something, and then we pick up the worry and put it back on our shoulders. And that's what I was doing, and I did it for so many years, and I was hiding behind um just the life I thought I wanted, the life, the image of trying to uphold the image for the world to see. Um, and in the inside I was breaking, you know, hiding behind the big lavish wedding, the fancy cars, the home, you know, the clothes, and all the material things that we think that make us. And it doesn't, you know. So I was able to step out on faith and have faith in myself. So that part of the book is really, you have to, when you read this book, you have to start from the beginning. You have to start at the dedication page. Every page and every word means a great deal. So you have to start from the beginning and go into the story, and then that leads you into your day one of your devotion to start your renewal, to start your reflections. Um, so I can show you, I can read your part of the I've allowed to read your part of the day one so you can see.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

Yes, please, yes, please, because I wanna I wanna were you able to fit all of your story in the book, or is that part of the four-part series? Were you able to put everything that you've been through in in the first book, Faith and Flight?

SPEAKER_02 12:51

Yes. Faith and flight is faith and flight.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02 12:56

That's that thing one. Please share. So after my story, um it's a prayer before takeoff. And it says, Father, prepare my heart for this journey, quiet the noise around me so I can hear your voice. Teach me to trust your time and to surrender my fears and to walk and fly by faith. May every word I read draw me closer to you. In Jesus' name, amen. Every journey begins with faith, not in the destination, but in the one who leads the way. These prayers are your runway. Take a deep breath, lift your eyes, and prepare for takeoff.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

Oh my word.

Surrender, Control, And Real Change

SPEAKER_02 13:42

So that that's that's gonna lead you. That's the prayer before takeoff. So that leads you into your day one. And each page starts with a scripture, a reflection moment, a faith and flight moment. Now, the faith and flight moment is my moment of a real life situation that I experience in flight that I learned from flying um with passengers and from people around the world. And how, and then I turn that metaphor into the message from God to my readers. And each day ends with a reflection moment, um, a journal prompt for you to breathe, reflect on your day, um, answer the question, and then you end that day with a prayer. And then you'll be ready for day two. And it's 60 days, 60 days. I would love my readers to take 60 days to pour into yourself. Pour into yourself, you know, every day. Think of something that you can write in um in your journal. And this won't be um the end of your 60 day. This is the beginning. This when you finish 60 days, it will be a new you, a beginning of a uh restoration of what whatever you're going through in life, you know, just getting you through the day or the week or the year.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

So let me ask you, sis. Let me ask you this. You know, you know, we're both authors, we're both new and upcoming authors, right? I'm writing, I, um, I'm I'm writing the big take back, right? But wouldn't you say for someone who has been in situations like myself and you, would you say that making the decision is like the first step to even pick up a book or pick up your book to follow the devotion? Would you say that making a decision is the biggest step into starting a journey of healing? Yes.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

Yes, it is. It really is because you have to you don't want to do it because you it makes you look at yourself in the mirror, it makes you peel layers in order to get to the root of the problem. Um, and it makes you look at yourself and people we don't like change, we're afraid of it sometimes. So were you afraid of change at one time? Yes, yes, I was. I was afraid to fail. I was afraid of what people were gonna say. Um, I was ashamed to know that I was, you know, a product of, or I wouldn't say a product of uh abusive marriage. So, you know, I come from a mother and father who's been married for over 51 years, loving family. So when I look at that, I'm like, how did this happen to me? How did I fall in love and marry someone that eventually turned out to be abusive physically, emotionally, and verbally, you know, and then I was more I was ashamed and you know, ashamed of what my parents was gonna say. I felt like I let them down, I let myself down, let my children down. So I was battling a lot of emotions during that time. But the first step is realizing shaming, yes. Yeah, shame because we shame ourselves. Yes, we shame ourselves.

SPEAKER_00 17:23

Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Yes, uh I and that's one thing, you know, we're not what happened to us. And I think that's what people who have been through certain traumas, you have to learn that you are not your trauma. You have to make the decision to want the change, want the difference. I think when people hit that rock bottom, like you said, for you, it was your aunt that came to you in a dream that inspired you to move forward into a flight attendant, right?

Start At Dedication And Day One

SPEAKER_02 17:54

Yes, yes, and I had to I looked at it, was that was God's way. I didn't see it then. Because even though she came to me and God brought all this to me, I still was questioning him because I still didn't see it. I was like, what do you mean, a flight attendant? Are you are you kidding me? I don't like flying. Turbulence makes me nervous. I have a job, I'm making good money.

SPEAKER_00 18:23

What were you doing?

Prayer Before Takeoff And 60 Days

SPEAKER_02 18:25

Right. So I worked at one of the top hospitals in Philadelphia. So I was and I was there for over uh 11 years. So I I'm like, do I leave this? Do I just pick up and leave everything within a month span? Because he didn't give me no time. Oh, when when God says move, you move. That's right. So I didn't have no time to to mess around and and ponder and decide. He said, This is what needs to be done, this is how you're gonna do it, and this is what you're gonna do, this is what you're gonna say. So I questioned that in the beginning. I was just saying, like, I I it didn't make sense to me. It didn't make sense, it didn't make sense to me. Yes, it didn't make sense to me, it didn't make sense to my career, it wasn't a lot to my my pockets. Yeah, uh it I didn't know what to do. I was like in between. So how long did it take? Oh my word, all in a matter of three weeks. Three weeks, I started seeing signs. Like after the dream, I started seeing signs, it was like small settled signs, and I call that um breadcrumbs that God leaves for you. Oh small yes, small settled nudges that he's he's pushing you forward, and it was it'd be it was like settled signs. Like I a friend of mine was in aviation, and I just happened to see her, and she's like, Hey, LaShea, you want to, you know, when are you thinking about it? You do you want to try it or whatever for a change? And I'm like, uh, you know, I don't know. Then I was at the doctor's office, and I seen a magazine on the table that said, Careers in the in the sky or something. I'm like, what? Careers in the sky. So I opened a magazine and here's this picture of a flight attendant and going from there. And then I'm sitting home um having dinner one day, and it's a commercial come across the television. It said, Become a flight attendant. And I said, Okay, God, okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

I hear you. I hear you.

SPEAKER_02 20:41

Yes, I hear you loud and clear. I I hear you loud and clear. So I need to get some things in order, you know. And he the first thing I had to get in order was my parents and my children. Yeah, so I had to go to them and tell them the truth of what I was going through because they had no idea. No one knew, not even my family. People probably knew in the world by seeing certain situations that transpired. But my family, because I hid it with a smile, so you thought everything was perfect in the and outside looking in. So my my family didn't know. My mom and dad didn't know. You know, they they they felt something was different, but they didn't know any details. So the first I had to come to them and tell them everything. Yeah, and that was and that's in a book.

SPEAKER_00 21:41

So it's you may need a tissue, you may need a tissue. Don't spill too much, just the readers go out there.

SPEAKER_02 21:50

You will need a little tissue as I um I tell my story.

Decision As Step One To Healing

SPEAKER_00 21:55

This is this is amazing, you know, and it's like confirmation on. You know, because sometimes you don't really realize or recognize when God is speaking to you. You kind of put it off like, uh, you know, it can't be right. Until you keep seeing, because I can relate to what you're saying. It's like God works in a way where it's like a subtle, like you said, a subtle time of like putting little things in front of you. And that's kind of me like speaking, you know, being in the military, you know, being that motivator in the military. And as I got out, you know, there's a plethora of things that happen that, you know, it's like, God, well, I'm not saving anybody. I don't understand. You know, I was just so hurt from the things, you know, I've lost contact with family, uh, everybody's all this stuff is transitioning. I'm just like, what in the world? And just, you know, beat myself down, and you know, wanting to, you know, how the young people uh what the young people say today, they crashing out, you know, crashing, not understanding. And it just so happens that when you really surrender, and you surrender and you you pray and you say, God, I just help. I can't do it anymore. I believe that is the first phase to your your prayers being answered. When you just say, I can't do no more, just guide and help me. Help me. What am I supposed to be doing right now? And there was those subtle little breadcrumbs that showed me, hey, don't worry about the things that you can't fix, you know, because I can't fix ex-husband, I can't fix people who've hurt me. I can't. So he said, take your focus off of this, and he just started putting little breadcrumbs. And I just started following them, and I built the nonprofit that that helps shelters homeless individuals and domestic violence victims, and you know, low community, you know, um, people in uh poverty or whatever, just servicing them. And then he put the next little breadcrumb. Yes, yes, come out your comfort zone. I'm comfortable with speaking to family, encouraging, motivating my my children, you know, but then he just put that little bread thing, then the next little thing to say, hey, like you said, there are people all over, over, whatever race, whatever country, kind of continent, whatever. Everybody needs help. So why be selfish? Put our knowledge out there, and that's why I applaud you just for being transparent because you said there are things in the book that family don't even know. So look, right, right, right, that alone. I want to know. I wouldn't know what's happening. Yeah, I wouldn't know what happened, I wouldn't know she did, but it should be to the point where but you go ahead. Go ahead. Can you hear me? Yes, yeah. So your point about being nosy, it should be like, how can I fix myself? But what were you gonna say? Go ahead.

Shame, Identity, And Owning Truth

SPEAKER_02 25:09

Yes, but it it's but I told the story in a way where I didn't even have to give every gruesome detail, but I gave you enough to know what I went through, how I got through with it. Those are my main purposes. What I went through and how I got through it, and how God changed now my life for the better, and everything turned around just by having that faith, following him, and like you said, surrender, like and one of the biggest things that helped me, Brie, was forgiveness. Yes, because I was not ready to forgive at all. I I'm I'm really big on forgiveness now, but back then I struggled with forgiveness because I'm like, no, like you don't deserve it. You why should I? And and God came to me. He's like, okay, I got you here, but you have one more thing you have to do. You have to forgive your abuser. And I'm like, what? Why why that's that's for you to do. I don't want, I don't want to forgive you.

SPEAKER_00 26:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 26:35

Forgiveness is not for your the person or thing that hurt you, but it's forgiveness, it's a gift from God to you. Yes, and that helps your heart from not being bitter. It helps you to open doors to blessings beyond blessings, beyond blessings. Yeah. So I forgave. And and I was I'm able to smile, I'm able to write this book. It's because I forgave and I moved on and had that and trusted God to have that faith. And we people go through things like that, you know. So it's it's it was very important. That's why I say this book, Faith of Flight, is really dear to my heart. And I hope it helps anyone or get through whatever situation they get through. Because you you you stay in a situation and it gets when it's bad or not not good for you, staying is what makes you stuck.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 27:42

That's a failure. Staying somewhere where yes, staying somewhere where you know it's not good for you. And I don't care what it is in life. Don't stay somewhere where love is not being poured into you. Don't stay somewhere unhappy. Don't stay at a job that you feel like going in there every day and you're just beating the same ground, you're not growing in that job or not learning anything new, you're not getting any promotions. Leave. Get a new job, have faith that God's going to provide your finances and take a new step. Go to school, learn a new craft, but do something to pour back into yourself.

SPEAKER_00 28:23

Get uncomfortable with being comfortable with being toxicity.

SPEAKER_02 28:29

Absolutely.

Breadcrumbs Toward Aviation

SPEAKER_00 28:30

And that is that is the learning, that is really a learning process. Yeah, including I heard you talk about the forget, you know, it is very hard to forgive when you've been hurt by someone that you love, yes, or you know, someone that you didn't expect, especially if you've been hurt multiple times, it's hard to say. And what I want people to, you know, our audience to know, um, I've been hurt numerous of times. And it started off from a family member. It's like, you know, why? Why are you doing this to me? But let me tell you what I've learned about those people that have hurt me. And I don't I want to know if it's the same for you, you know, if you look back to extra ex-husband right now. But those people who hurt me, I can look back at them right now, and that's why God tries to get our focus on forgiveness and moving forward because he handles that. He has I look at them people now, can barely walk, uh, just tore up from the floor. And it's like God is doing him something so bad, worse than what I could have even done. So it's like, okay, you know, I don't have to worry about those people that hurt me. God has them, God handles them. My husband right now. Up 57 years old, and what have you done now? I don't want to see anybody's downfall, but I believe that karma. Yes, you leave things up to God, God gonna handle them. Is that the same for you? Like, do you look back at you know things that have hurt you, your your past marriages saying, Wow, he gave me exactly what he deserved.

SPEAKER_02 30:11

Yes, God does definitely um handles so you you don't have to fight that battle because God does handle. Um, I I try not, I don't look back. I and I I look forward. And once I forgive, and I wish somebody well and successful in life, and I wish them to be happy with anybody, you know, not just I wish people would just, you know, get yourself together, not for somebody, but get yourself together for you. Do the things that you have to do for you to make yourself a better person in this world. So whatever, however, God handles that, he handles it. And he tells me, you keep your eyes forward. You I don't have to look back because he already handled that. So I don't look back. So I I don't look back. Okay. Once I leave something, I don't look back. I wish you well, but I don't look back. Okay. So I'm grateful that. And that and that takes time. It does. That takes time because we get petty, you know. Sometimes people get petty and they want to, you know, see someone like, oh, what the heck was going on in your life? But no, I I have so much blessings being poured into me in every direction with my new husband, Kevin, who is very supportive of me. And he was there to hold my hand and get me through, and he was there to push me forward and encourage me in every way. So God said, I'm giving you a blessing right here. This is what you prayed for. You know, it took years for this to come, but it's here. So you don't have to look back. Yeah, look forward to what I have given you and the blessings that I have right in front of me. So no, I forgave and I wish people well, but I did not look back.

Telling Family And Breaking Silence

SPEAKER_00 32:12

Okay, and that's awesome. But you know, um, I guess for me, it's like, you know, I I still sometimes when I go back home, I have to look at certain people, and it's like, oh Jesus, leave me. So it's like that's when it's still presented to you, then you have to, you know, but I constantly just you know, it's so fun everything is different for everybody. Not to say they're not still affected, but when it's presented constantly, or you know, with my ex-husband with the children, it's like, well, they're not even children, they're grown right now, but we have grandchildren. And when you see um certain things, you'd be like, wow, you know, I'm I'm handling now. Now, my my current husband is amazing. He's amazing, he's supportive, he's everything. But you know, even though the children are, you know, older, it's like, you know, you have a father, and it's like, man, I wish we could just work as a village to, you know, um, when you know, my daughter had some of my children have health issues. It's like, oh my God, you know, this will work so much better if it was more support. And that I I I guess that's what brings it back for me. But yeah, I I agree what you said. I don't hurt a whole no ill will, but I teach my children, my grandchildren, like, hey, it's okay. You know, we're gonna be okay, you know, and not to worry about that because I can look and say, that's like a constant reminder that Brie, you were never alone. I had you the whole time. Absolutely, absolutely okay. So that's that's the takeaway. So let me ask you this, okay. Uh, going forward, if you could put a theme song to your book, what would it be?

SPEAKER_02 34:00

Oh my goodness. Um, oh, that's a good question because a theme song to my book um is grateful. How grateful?

SPEAKER_00 34:17
