The Truth About Being Unequally Yoked with Erica Hubbard | Dear Future Wifey Podcast S7, E705 

Who ran to read the comments after a few minutes of listening and then felt some relief when you found out you were not alone? 🤦🏽‍♀️

20 minutes in and I'm scratching my head. She's talking a lot, without saying anything.

I feel like I’m unequally yoked with this episode 🥴struggling to get through it for the love of Latteras 💜

This episode is a great example of how answering with only spiritual cliches can be empty and sometimes seem so unclear and like people can't explain what they say they believe or what nonbelievers can believe in. This was valuable. Many Christians have no clue how they look and think they've said a lot and they audience they spoke to walked away thinking the words were scripted yet empty.

God used this episode to give us a VISUAL of what unequally yoked looks like. This is what it looks like when one person is open and vulnerable vs one being very guarded. That tension that’s present in the interview is exactly what it’s like when you’re with someone you’re not godly compatible with. Laterras said this was one of the most challenging interviews he’s ever done. And that’s how your marriage will be….challenging. Laterras represents the spouse that keeps trying to get the other one to become vulnerable with them. Erica represents that spouse that fights against being vulnerable. Watch the interview from that standpoint. Like the interview is an actual demonstration of being unequally yoked. God is awesome!!!!! Your marriage will not benefit anyone if your potential partner cannot be vulnerable and transparent.

She wasn’t ready for this interview. Period! I pray she finds vulnerability in her spiritual walk. It’s all about God getting the glory! Don’t hold back when God could be positioning you to set someone free.

Bless her heart. I was listening to the Podcast and had to come to RU-vid to make sure I wasn’t tripping. She’s so guarded and not ready to be completely open about the tough relationship conversations. This was tough to listen to because I heard nothing about Love (Agape Love) but I pray for her healing and understanding. Let Him Use You

Kudos to you Laterras for continuing this interview & not quitting ..this definitely speaks to your professionalism….my godddd 😩

This interview was the true meaning of having hard conversations because this interview was hard for her to have.

I didn’t learn anything from this but patience for others. She caused chaos in my spirit watching this.

Honey , when he said "you like to talk around in circles" I love this podcast, its super real❤ He said Father God

I don’t think she was really ready for the yellow couch! Thanks for showing us what that looks like! You always get blessed watching Dear Future Wifey! God use’s everything! 🙏🏽

This episode was very draining. Thank you Laterras for keeping it together! You’re awesome!

This is a perfect example of not being ready to share your story/journey and that's ok..give her some time and when she's ready her story will be a blessing to many.

Many of us watched the podcast and sensed areas where the Lord can minister to Erica's needs. She is no different from the rest of us in needing ministry from Him - let's raise a prayer for her! God, as You continue to bless Erica Hubbard's life and career, please fill in any gaps in her understanding of the things of God; please give her clarity on Your definition of what it would look like for her to be equally yoked with a partner; please strengthen her ability to plainly articulate how and why she walks and believes as she does; and please heal any emotional injuries inside her. In Christ's name I pray.

I, too struggled with this episode. I could not watch it all at once as it definitely was testing my patience. Kudos to Laterras for his perseverance in trying to get clear, concise answers. Prayers for Erica and her children as she continues to heal from her life situations. Bless you Latteras and continued success on your podcast and your quest for your future wifey.

She kept saying “oh we getting deep” and proceeded to pull us back to the shore every chance she got. It felt like Laterras was struggling to pull information from her for most of the podcast, so this was difficult to get through. She did her testimony a disservice by being wildly evasive and cooky.

One thing that this interview showed me is that people can see you. Even if we think we can put up a facade and hide parts of ourselves, it’s not hard to pick up on someone not being genuine or truthful with who or where they are. It’s very visible when someone is misaligned. This interview has made me reflect on how I come across and that I need to make sure that I’m in alignment with who I say I am and who I truly am. Thanks Laterras. There is value in still sharing this episode even though it didn’t go the way you intended it to go.

This episode showed me how beautiful it is to be vulnerable. I need to start being vulnerable because she just couldn’t bring herself to be vulnerable and that’s me sometimes…

OMG....I'M DYING trying to get through this interview!!! I have NEVER seen anything like this. God Bless all yawl for enduring this. Whew lawd GOD Jesus on the mountain. I just can't.

I've watched almost every episode. This is the first time I've struggled through it. "Oh you're getting deep." That's what he does! I literally yelled at the screen like I was in a movie theater.

This is the stuff that confuses non Christian people. A good foundation is so important, especially when trying to explain what the Bible is all about. I’ve watched many people take spiritual gifts way out of context and sidestep basic practical conversations about everyday life.

I like Erica and truly respect her. I believe that God makes no mistakes and that he intentionally arranged for her to be a guest on the podcast. There was a huge takeaway that I got from this episode. Just because you may be ready to have tough or deep conversations, does not mean that everyone else is. We have to give people grace, comfort and respect and to let them know that it is okay. I truly believe that this was a huge step for her in her growth journey and God willing, if it's His will, that she will be back at the end of this season, or next season and she is going to be truly convicted to share her story effortlessly! Thank you Laterras for patience and understanding because at anytime, I just knew the cameras were going to cut off and come back on with you reading your letter!🤣🤣🙌🙌🥰🥰

I typically don't comment good or bad but I must say I applaud👏 Laterras for his resilience in getting through this interview. This was like nails on a chalk board. I held on to see if I was going to be able to get anything of substance from this and unfortunately I was not. Ms. Hubbard was NOT transparent, authentic, honest, real, relatable, forthcoming or genuine. I have no idea why she wanted to even come on.

The level of professionalism displayed by the host is unmatched, because a lot of people would not have aired this. But it shows different levels in maturity in Christ and why discipleship is so important because when we open our mouths as a representation of our savior we should make sense 😇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ best podcast hands down

This could have gone unaired. I saw unequally yoked and was excited and then she proceeded to not talk to the audience, us, and just talk to Laterras. She doesn’t know where she’s at or why she’s there.

Watching this at work and trying not to laugh too loud!!!!! I was saying poor Laterras, he gonna need some Tylenol when this interview was over! Erica was being a bit difficult but she had me cracking up.

This is the perfect example of what unequal yoke in a relationship looks like. Its exhausting......

From the moment she put the gum in her bra, the interview went left. 😂 I wholeheartedly pray that she finds balance.

I must say this, I respect the fact that she was willing to continue this interview in spite of her feeling uncomfortable. It takes a lot of courage to go on an interview that anyone in the world could watch. Thank you both

Exhausted at 25 mins but pushing through because of the comments. Props to Laterras for persevering because this was a VERY challenging conversation and interview.

I met her in 2020 and she has a powerful testimony. I truly hope one day she feels empowered to share. Revelations 12:11

When Laterras said she was the most challenging guest he ever had, he wasn’t lying. This was the most confusing interview. I love the podcast, but I can’t finish this episode. I was trying, but I can’t 😮

I saw a comment about this being hard to watch and her being evasive and I just wondered if it was just me but I got confirmation that my feelings were valid, this is the only episode that I can’t watch till the end😩

Laterras R. I was so happy when you acknowledged how difficult she was being and how she kept going in circles. Please stay connected with her and make sure she’s ok emotional and mentally. I believe she’s dealing with a lot of insecurities and private pain. She didn’t listen to communicate. She’s anticipating every question and trying not to put herself out there as she answers. She’s struggling with being transparent and using her spirituality to hide and coming off looking like this. Who goes on Dear Future Wifey NOT to be transparent? You can’t communicate with people like this without frustrating them. Lord help her and those in relationships with her.

Erica Hubbard has a lot of wisdom. I believe she’s still trying to process her divorce. Divorce is traumatizing. I’m not sure if she is ready to be vulnerable at this time. Perhaps vulnerability is not something she wants to embrace at all ( even her reaction to how LW's once expressed motion shows this) believe she genuinely wants to give us a message without giving us too much of a window into her personal life. Hence, this may not have been the best “ couch” for her. I’m thinking a show like “ Better Together “ would be more fitting. I love this Podcast and what it’s doing for us … I thank Erica Hubbard for her teachings.

The host needs an award for even getting through it. You lead well sir !

I was born to a mother who practiced witch craft and a father who only went to church because he was made to. However, by the time I came along they had found Christ and served him wholeheartedly. Just long enough for my siblings and I to know Christ before my parents decided that they no longer needed Him. My parents have both lived extremely afflicted lives. Particularly my mother. My mother has always spoke in tongues and if I’m being honest it sounds like she’s conjuring up something dark. What comes out of her is no gift from God. I have seen some things in my 30 something years in experiencing my parents. I know all too well about spiritual warfare and demonic influence. My mom was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia among other things, as well as one of my little sisters who was literally pulled from the river (alive thank God!!!) today. My little sister in fact reminds me of the demon possessed person who was chained up in the grave yard in the Bible who was possessed with legion and when removed the demons went into the pigs and drowned them. That’s been my life. I say all of that to say: I don’t want anybody who isn’t grounded in Christ yet to watch today’s episode and believe that you have to speak in tongues or that it is some kind of requirement for God. That is a lie from the pits of hell. You do not. Having a personal relationship with Christ breaks down exactly what He expects from you individually. In your alone time with God He will tell you. That’s why it is so vital that you get to know God for yourself. Guys we have to seriously pray for this woman. God isn’t the author of confusion and when we are scattered in our thinking or kinda all over the place that typically indicates the absence of God and/or the presence of an ungodly thing. I’m not saying that she is evil or doesn’t mean well or doesn’t have a relationship with Christ. However, it is extremely obvious that sis maybe going through some things. She seems to be in a spiritual battle of tug of war between the flesh and the spirit man yet she seems to be wanting to educate other people without yet doing the work within herself first. As a body of Christ we are all messed up in one way or another and that’s exactly why we need God and each other. She referenced her mom a lot but her mom isn’t the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We can get plenty of advice from other humans that doesn’t directly come from God Himself. This episode wasn’t about being unequally yoked. I have to believe that God wanted this woman on this podcast to show us what spiritual warfare looks like in the flesh and to show us how it doesn’t discriminate. As this is a beautiful divorced woman, with 4 kids, who acts. I know there was someone watching who is in the same boat as her that maybe finally got the courage today to try God because now they see how they’ve been really looking in front of people. God wastes NOTHING!!!! He can and will use it all. 💯 Laterras, New levels, new devils, I love you so much and I’m so proud of how you conducted this interview. Make sure that you are getting your mental health and God breaks in between doing these because you know the devil is big mad. S/N: The Bible Teachers who have/are really blessing my life are as follows: Myles Munroe Joyce Meyers Dharius Daniels Tony Evans Howard John Wesley Trust God and do good, even when you don’t understand 💚🙏🏽

This episode left my head HURTING!!!! I can only imagine how he felt interviewing her. I’m going to to pray for her. I noticed some things.

Welp, this episode showed me I still have to work on my patience and attitude. I shouldn't have been so annoyed by this. But Laterras you literally have so much of my respect because of this!

Laterras you did a great job under the circumstances. The vulnerability that we've become accustomed to with past guests was missing with Ms. Hubbard. The saying "don't be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good" seemed to ring true here. Vulnerability is about telling your story in truth; she worked sooo hard to keep things general and not on focused on her that a lot was lost. Well done Laterras! Thank you for your vulnerability in posting this episode because it was obviously, painfully difficult to get through.

I know we all come with a level of expectancy based on what we all are accustom to. I pray we learn to extend grace to each other and be patient rather than being critical. I listen with an open heart to learn through what is being shared. Mr Whitfield, hats off - Your demeanor and professionalism was top rated. Let us Exercise Patience and give room for grace.

In order to be vulnerable/ honest with others, you have to be vulnerable/ honest with yourself. I learned this within the past few months. When people would ask me simple questions, I kept talking in circles. Even while self reflecting, I did the same thing to *myself*. Somethings are hard to unpack, but it’s needed in order to truly heal and move on.

Omg, this was one of the hardest episodes to get through. I am respectfully exhausted. I can feel your pain Laterras

Lord...you know what wasnt equally yoked?! This conversation. Bless her

This episode was painful to watch … 😢 Hopefully there will be another episode in the future where she will stand boldly in her authority in Christ Jesus and educate the people with confidence. Spiritual warfare is real and we are definitely in a battle. I pray that she comes back for another episode.❤

I LOVE this podcast and look forward to new episodes. It literally took me almost a week to get through this interview. I’d watch a little and have to come back another day. Bless her heart. Laterras showed true patience and I have an even greater level of respect for him. ❤

I saw myself in her…this is what being unsure of yourself looks like. 😔

Thank you Laterras. We all felt it too!! Woah, she made you work. We appreciate you keeping it together.

I felt it when Laterras said I should have done this interview by script! then started the screenplay... 🤣😂😅 She is clearly not ready to share or heal from everything so she was vague and laughed instead of expounding on her own point of view. I felt bad for her. I hope she gets the spiritual & emotional release she needs🙏🏽🙌🏾

The laugh though😢😮😢😮😢😮😢.... scratches head.... is she acting or is she really being real..... i cannot anymore with this ... Am not sure if i can make it to the end of this podcast....this is the first podcast i cant finish..... cha

OMG! This was difficult. She wasn't ready to be transparent. We aren't use to this type of interview on this podcast. Hope she gets healed for real!

Sister, I see you and I know you were nervous. Being interviewed about your life before an international audience is mind-blowing...especially about intense, intimate, and personal topics. I hope you read this and stay encouraged, Love. Most here in the comments have not been on the yellow couch of transparency, LOVE, and healing...you are good. In the spotlight or not...we're all trying to learn and grow. You are beautiful and loved... Continue in the way of the Lord. We got you ❤

This was definitely interesting to watch. Praying for soundness of mind and for her to be able to freely be who God has called her to be in Him and for Him. You can definitely just begin speaking in tongues, especially at Holy Spirit's prompting during certain situations but there are some who use the gift just as a religious tool at their disposal but not for spiritual warfare.

The uncomfortable laughter she does, the avoidance of direct questions, her surface answers, redirecting everything back to the spirit but couldn’t specify anything….whew, it’s taken me a few days to listen and I still feel the same way.

Laterras, thank you so much for trying to help us navigate through this episode. This was the most difficult episode, to get through, due to the circles. Grateful God can still reveal things, even in confusion.

Bless all of you who made it to the end. Too much back and forth for my patience or lack thereof.

She just walking around speaking in tongues to everybody is all I learned this entire discussion.

You did such a good job although she was talking in circles you found a way to make this episode beneficial!! Thank you for showing so much GRACE!!

Thank you Erika for what you were able to share. This episode felt like pulling teeth. I found myself saying, "what is the answer???!!!" I wanted her to flow without restraint.

Hey Laterras. I know God brings you guests who resonate with your past, present or future. How did Erica relate to your story? Also can you do a part two unequally yoked episode with another guest? I’m sure this episode helped someone. I was looking to get more transparency. I made it through the entire episode and you did an amazing job.

Let’s be kind to her, because it’s hard to open up and be vulnerable especially on a public platform. She might’ve thought she was ready but when she got there, she realized she wasn’t. Hopefully we’ll see her return and do this with a more vulnerable spirit.

I am a super empath, so I felt so humble for this woman🫣 I pray for her soul, her mind and the influences around her.

This remind me of when you ask for something because it went well for others but you don’t know what it really took to do it. Or you want to appear as something you’re not or more than what you are. Vulnerability and knowing The Word for yourself is so important that’s where you find true freedom.

This episode was definitely a display of calm, caring and careful communication by Laterras. This will show all future husbands how it can be done respectfully. God bless you brother my respect 📈.

After reading the comments,I’m Only watching for Latteras! He always comes through 👏🏽

Laterras is gifted at interviewing, no matter how difficult this was to watch, and for him to get through, he still handled her with care, and professionally.

After watching this and really looking into what we all watched. This is great example of how we want to be open and LIT, but we truly struggle sometimes to effectively communicate. This episode taught me that I need to effectively communicate and not listen to respond, but listen to understand for myself. It was ahard episode to watch and I could see the frustration...but there is always a lesson in each episode

I have patients that speak in what we call word salad. That’s what this interview reminded me of. Nothing she said went together coherently. This is why it’s important to read the word of God for yourself!

I listened to this podcast this morning and came here to see the comments to make sure I wasn’t trippin. Laterras, brother your patience and willingness to fulfill your mission is commendable. Thank you for being dedicated to sharing useful wisdom and information.

Thank you Laterras for doing this episode. Many watch your channel, and are very vocal in their feedback but I wonder how many would be up for spilling that which they are still working through! I am a fervent believer that every situation is a lesson. I salute and respect Erica for bearing her vulnerability, without sharing what she has not yet fully processed and which she clearly feels uncomfortable sharing. I salute her for putting herself and her vulnerability out there. She is clearly trying to protect someone. I respect her for saying she has nothing to say to others about marriage as she is still clearly, trying to process her experience. Laterras this has been a learning experience for you also. Sometimes the lessons we think we will get from a classroom, is not the lesson God intended us to learn. Erica reminded me that I must afford Grace and exercise patience with others, meeting them where they are at and not projecting my expectations on them. I pray she finds the courage to work through it all and wish her the very best. Every experience shared in these podcasts are a lesson for all of us. Erica strikes me as a very bright young lady and one who is very mindful about not offending and /or exposing others. She clearly has a gift that she seems to be seeking clarity and approval on how best to manage/utilise it. Erica seems to inject humour to try to combat her nervousness and unease with the questions. I like how Erica thanks Laterras for articulating what she was not able to. I hope she comes back when she is stronger and clearer in her deliverance.

you did such a great job on this interview. Such an excellent demonstration of professionalism,l and patience

I saw so much in this episode. It’s very obvious that she’s under the spirit of religion. And, her mother plays a huge part in it. But, she also said her father is strict. I can tell her parents are still ruling her life. She’s speaking as if she knows they’re watching it. She knows her church community is watching. I don’t think she’s ever even met herself. She only knows herself through religion. She always talks about what your “supposed” to do. She only knows rules. I think she can’t control speaking in tongues because she’s literally under the spirit of religion. Which can show up as mental illness. She’s not even able to speak in first person. She speaks as if she’s giving advice. The spirit of religion will convince you that everyone else’s spirit is what’s wrong. So, you’ll never hold the mirror up to self. She was unable to speak on her divorce because it makes her feel like she failed. She filed for divorce first because she knew her husband thought she was crazy. He never liked the uncontrollable tongues. That is why for her new husband all she knows is she wants him to be ok with that. Because, she’s unable to shut it off. She’s trying to be perfect constantly but it’s only making her unstable. All she knows is religion. That is her only requirement for husband. Is to be religious. And, then she will serve you. Because, she never stops operating out of people pleasing. But, it’s not her fault. Her parents were clearly very strict with her and made her into a people pleaser. She doesn’t know herself. She only knows herself in the eyes of others. She worked very hard for us to not see her. But, we all did. Laterras didn’t let up. I love that he didn’t fake with her just because she’s a celebrity. I think she’s suffering from a mental illness. She’s not wrong to call it spiritual warfare. That’s what it is. I truly believe she may have went through something traumatic. Or, just the judgement from church has been traumatic. That’s why she’s speaks on shame, embarrassment, or rage. I think religion is an escape. She’s not really able to tap into reality right now. She blocks out the deep rejection she feels. Especially from that divorce. She kept saying “you want people to see you married. It looks good.” Unfortunately- her entirely reality is through the eyes of others. She’s not able to say dating has been hard because she is trying to hide that many people see her as crazy. Including her children. She wants someone who is equally as consumed with religion as she is. But, God often sends us the person we NEED. The one who will help ground us. Her partner is probably not as consumed with it as she is. And, she doesn’t even know that she needed that. But, I can tell it was not her who walked away from the marriage. He did. But, she was the famous one so she did it first because she’s not able to face anything that feels like a failure.

Thank for for having Erica Hubbard on the show. God is indeed strategic. I needed yo her speak. When you have a spiritual gift, calling on your life and at times you can feel, judged, left out, you just want to be understood, have someone to relate. I felt her and all her words. Thank you Laterras for the patience and guidance you gave her while she was sharing and thank you Erica from another Ericka for sharing and being open. You helped me. You did the job! Thanks much.

My heart goes out to Erica. Praying for healing

Yes, she was talking in circles. Nevertheless, I was able to self-reflect and identify areas of growth within me. As women, we typically know more about other people than we do about our own needs, wants, and even our own thoughts. To be honest, I was cringing at first, but then I identified the gift of this episode… turning L’s into W’s

From what I see she is finding it hard to be honest, deeply introspect on herself. It’s the only way to get healing.

Ohhhh lord 😢😢😢am soooo confused....i came in here excited about the topic now am like lord am more confused about the whole topic of unequal yoke.....Rianna please give Letty a Gatorade cause this is the most exhausting interview....

She wasn’t NO where ready for this conversation, but hopefully she get the healing she needs

This is such an important topic and this is exactly what happens when you are unequally yoked, you feel like you lost your mind or are loosing your mind. As strange as this interview was it has served its purpose. She also said some valuable things and really appreciate them both! 🙏🙏 This interview was right on time for me!

I feel like this lady still has things to uncover about herself. She is wrestling within herself.

I literally had to come here and post to share that interview was so humbling and showing that we the woman can be he problem, lacking clarity, vulnerability and a full walking contradiction. And more importantly the importance of comprehension over communication. Thank you Erica Hubbard for this interview… I saw bits of myself in you. I pray this interview brings you insight. And you Laterras!!!! thank you for extending grace and transparency because this video could have easily gone in the trash but there is a lesson everywhere.

A response to LW’s question for the audience: “Equally yoked”, 1:10:05 for me is a person that desires to walk in; •moral integrity, •spiritual awareness, •believes in and practices prayer, •is intellectually stimulating, •values education, •a life long leaner”, •has a teachable spirit, •an effective communicator, •known by others as being wise, •an individual who enjoys “the performing arts”, •humorous, •kind to others, •respects their family, •a hard worker, •a good tipper,•intentional about maintaining their physical health and fitness, •is emotionally intelligent and self aware, •protects their sexual health by practicing abstinence regularly (not just when it’s convenient), has a true sense of God consciousness and an internal conviction to do what is right.

She never seemed to complete a thought. You definitely kept this conversation on track. Prayers for you sis. 🙏🏾

God is not done, her journey is not over. She does appears to be a bit uncomfortable with communicating her experiences thoroughly to many, yet her testimony, even if in pieces, is sure to heard, understood, and received by someone. And if one, that one is rewarding enough. Thank you Sir Latteras.

Btw, Laterras, I love your explanation on what it means to be “yoked” together in marriage. The word picture was right in point! I think that alone will help many people!

As a host, you’re asking the ideal questions. Her answers are all over the place with a burst of laughter, it’s a STRUGGLE listening to her. I’ll find another episode to watch.

She’s not LIT! Her light is a little dim. This was a difficult interview for Laterras to complete. I got frustrated just listening. He should’ve started speaking in tongues. 😂

I think what was great about this episode was that it showed not everyone is open to having tough conversations…As patient as Laterras was sometimes we have to be patient as well… I’m used to the guest being very vulnerable. This episode showed that vulnerability and transparency are needed if you’re going to get anywhere. The guest and the host showed how important it is to be on one accord because if you’re not things will be all over the place.

This is the first interview that I couldn't finish 🤦🏾‍♀️. Sis!!! Regroup and come back. Pull back the layers because there's a powerful testimony in there.

This episode was interesting. Laterras, you did a great job navigating this. You certainly worked for this interview. I don't think she's comfortable discussing her beliefs or her past, which is what made it difficult to get into. I hope she one day finds the freedom to tell her story confidently. Beautiful letter, Laterras.❤❤

Laterras is going to make sure he and his guests are super clear about what God and belief they have. It’s the only part where he does not joke or play until there is clarity. I’m here for it!

This episode was indeed different but insightful. You are a true professional and your love for people is evident. She has a story to tell she just isn't ready yet.

Watching this show make me wonder is ahe with a sound and sober mind. Grace to her and applauding Laterras' prodessionalism and patience because he's basically carrying this episode on his back. Father cover Erica and use her.

I would have thought that LT approached her to come on the show versus the other way around. She wasn't ready. Great and gracious hosting, LT.

Bless her heart. Great job Laterras. This one was difficult.

I’m proud of her having the courage to step out of her comfort zone. I understand it’s not easy to express her feelings and situations regarding her life to the best degree but she is present and trying. I know that her story is unique to help someone watching this video.

This is the only episode that I can not finish watching. 🥺

Erica is so beautiful, intelligent and talented. She understands spiritual warfare and understands that to stay on the right path she has to have the right partner that won’t take her off the right path. 👑💝 keep praying without ceasing and standing on God’s word and on the right path.

Laterras, bless you for trying to keep this interview together. The evasiveness and giggling was painful to get thru. I held on, hoping she'd get to the point. Praying for her, that she learn to articulate herself in such a way that we, the audience, get the gems and wisdom she surely has. Lawd, I need some tea and a nap....
