Hey guys this is Jenny Allen and you are listening to the Made for This

podcast.

Well I am so excited about my guest today and she's in our home and I just

want you to know her I cannot wait for you to meet her her name is is Thelma Wells, if you don't know her.

She was the first African-American speaker

for Women of Faith, and she has been a trailblazer for women.

And I just have fallen in love with her and as she I met her at recently

at a brunch that I was speaking at and just invited her to come along and now I've

invited her to come into my home and she's been quite a fast friendship.

So thank you so much, Thelma, for being here this morning.

Thank you so much for inviting me.

So we're going to talk about anger.

Yeah. So we're going to talk about anger.

Yeah, we're going to talk about emotions and what does it look like to live with these really God-given emotions

But they often get abused and, you know, really take hold of us. And so I want to start with a little bit about your story.

So tell us about growing up, tell us about your mama?

Okay, I will.

My mother was a crippled girl who had polio

before the soft sock vaccine, okay?

Not only that, but she was abused by her mother because her mother was very ashamed that she was all twisted up and you know looking like she was looking

So consequently her mother never loved her.

My daughter, my mother, okay? And she would lock her in closets and stuff like that and sometimes she would like me in there too. Well let me tell you, my granddaddy said to my mother, we've got to find somewhere for this baby to live because it was being abused.
