Um, we just said that we were going to stick with what the values came back with and we were just going to enter into the process and, and, and start dating strategic partners and find who was the right partner for my L. And then you ended up with, there's a Procter and Gamble, which is a very world renowned company, um, in the beauty space.

Well, number one, it was the business decision that God put in me. Because what people don't know is the prayers and the journaling that me and God sat down and had this conversation, right? So before I sold to P&G, before we entered into the process, we entered into the process of August of 22. I journaled, had a conversation with God, and I kid you not, I have the journaling to prove it.

In May, I wrote down, Maya will be acquired by P&G. Had no idea that PNG would enter into the process. Didn't know that we were even going to have a conversation with them. But that was a vision that came from God. And I wrote it down. He says, write the vision and make it plain. And so when we entered into process, PNG ended up becoming one of the ones that was in the running.

And when we were in the thick of negotiations, we went to church. We called our pastor. It was like 10 o'clock at night. And we said, we need prayer because we were in negotiations on Zoom late at night. And we asked him, can we have a breather? Can we take a break? We went to our church, had our pastor pray. And our pastor said, it's something about PNG that's jumping out in my spirit.

So this was confirmation from my pastor. Mind you, I forgot that I wrote that down. Oh, okay. That's crazy. So I forgot I wrote it down. Confirmation from my pastor. We come back, get back on a Zoom. We made the decision. We're going to go with P&G, right? We do all the documents. We close. I go back into my closet because that's why I journal.

And I'm flicking through my journal pages because I'm getting ready to write down this process of what happened, right? I'm flicking through my journal pages and my thumb lands on the journal entry that I made in May saying that Maya will be acquired by P&G. When I tell you the chills that I received because I'm like, God has confirmed his word. I am going in the right direction.

He is ordering my steps. I get chills talking about this. I had to run and find Melvin. I don't know where he was. I was like, Melvin, look at what I wrote down. And mind you, this wasn't the first time that I wrote something down that... I prayed over and God answered my prayer. And I pointed, I said, look what I wrote down. And he was just like, wow. Wow. He's like, wow. Yeah. Right.

So when you talk about the critics, I'm saying all that to say is when people criticize me for the decisions that I'm making, it's really not my decisions. These are decisions that I prayed over that God has revealed to me. Yeah. So when you are criticizing me, you are ultimately criticizing the one who put me on this earth to accomplish the purpose and calling that he has placed on my life.

And no one knows the conversations that me and him have. And that's why you can't share your dreams and your visions with everyone else because it's not for everyone else to know what you and God talked about. So I can sleep well at night, right? Because I know that I operate with integrity. I know I operate with the utmost respect and confidence and servantry for my community and my people.
