called Did You Take Your Clomid? Women take it to ovulate. Men take it to increase their sperm count. Yeah, it's autobiographical and it's about everything that we have given up and gained for the love of this child, or, these children should I say. I'm having twins. So, that's in the making. Currently presenting a couple of scenes at two conferences. One conference is in Savannah Georgia where I will present a portion of my one-woman show. Another conference is actually on campus at Georgia College. It's where I'm going to present a part of my one-woman show. So, what I am doing now and this is another reason why I love being a professor, it because it allows you to be in these areas where you can present your work and you can go to conferences where others will elevate you and you have the support of an institution. That's like, "Oh yeah girl", haha, if you get asked, apply. If you get in we'll pay for that and you'll go. I hope everything goes back to, you know, "Valeka your gift will make room for you. You're running from education. No baby girl, education is your way into the door." Because there is no blueprint. Your path looks like nobody else's. My path is my path and education is how I am literally building my career in the entertainment business. Coming into the educational, that's how I'm coming in, you know? I have a theater in Atlanta that I pitched it to. Whose interested in workshopping it. So, now we're looking for dates in their season next year. The workshop, my one-woman show. I just want to continue to work on it to make it one whole, living, breathing piece. Because I want it to grow. I want it to grow. I want my show to be on Broadway and it will. I want to have a Netflix special, an HBO special for this one-woman show that discusses infertility in the Black community and how it's something that is taboo in our community. But, yet it's a stigma but, it doesn't need to be. Because there are so many Black couples that are going through it and you feel like they are suffering in silence. I don't like that this is my plight. I don't like that this is me and Jason's plight. This is the cards that we have been dealt. Now how do we use this as a testimony? You know what I mean?
Anzzia: Yes.
Valeka: That's what we're doing. Through the pain, through the hurt, there is a resilience. I just want to be able to heal people and let them know like, you can get through it. It will be okay, and your marriage will be so much stronger!
Valeka: We fortified. You can't do it. We solid as we solid.
Anzzia: Through all of this I feel like that has to of strengthened your bond and relationship with your husband, you know? Going through the whole process during this time, what's that been like?
Valeka: I mean you have to be a little bit exposed right? What does the doctor want to do? We have to get all of this embryo testing done. We have to get genetic testing done. So much stuff you have to do to prep your body for IVF. You have to take tests. The doctor tests you on the vocabulary. Do you actually know what you are doing? You have to pass these tests or, you can't even go on to the next level. It's like you're in college. It's like a whole other world. He doesn't complain about it. He just does it and I look at him and like, 'Wow!". You're just amazing to me and I look at you and there is a blessing in that, thank you God for giving me the soulmate that you have given me. Because he teaches me in how to have more faith and just being patient. And being patient with him, even with you know, one scene can write my one-woman show, right? It was like, I wanted the blessing of my husband. Because until I was blessed by him, I wasn't going to present it to the world. Because I can't talk about it without talking about him.
Anzzia: True.
Valeka: What will be different, I have a Sorority sister of mine, she has PCOS. I don't know what the acronym stands for but, for some reason, it's like basically, she doesn't ovulate. She won Mrs. North Carolina and that's her platform.
