Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Mildred J. Mills. Topic: Life journey, resilience, and her memoir Daddy’s House: A Daughter’s Memoir of Setbacks, Triumphs, and Rising Above Her Roots Mildred J. Mills shares her powerful story of growing up on a cotton farm in Alabama as one of 17 children, overcoming domestic violence, poverty, and systemic barriers to become a successful IT executive, author, podcaster, and motivational speaker. Her memoir is a testament to resilience, faith, and self-determination. 🎯 Purpose of the Interview Promote her memoir and its message of overcoming adversity. Inspire entrepreneurs and small business owners with her story of resilience and reinvention. Highlight the importance of storytelling as a healing and motivational tool. Encourage faith over fear in personal and professional growth. 🔑 Key Takeaways 🌾 Humble Beginnings Grew up on a 60-acre cotton farm in Whitaker, Alabama. Picking cotton was physically brutal and emotionally taxing. “You’re bent at a 90-degree angle all day picking cotton… it hurts.” 📚 Writing the Memoir Wrote the book after age 60 to heal and share wisdom. Did not consult her husband before publishing — it was her story to tell. “I didn’t want anybody telling me… ‘Why didn’t you do it this way?’ It is my story.” 💪 Resilience Defined Resilience means getting up after being knocked down. She credits her mother’s wisdom and her own determination. “Failure is not an option… I wasn’t going back to that cotton field.” 🧠 Faith Over Fear Her guiding principle is faith over fear — trusting in the journey despite uncertainty. “Fear sits on your shoulder and says you’re not good enough. Faith says walk through the door.” 🏫 Education & Mentorship A white teacher saw potential in her and helped her escape the cotton fields by recommending a tech school. Her father, despite initial hesitation, paid for her education in cash. “He paid \$500 in 1969 — a lot of money for a farmer.” 👩‍💻 Career & Independence Became an IT executive, starting in 1969 as a computer programmer. Advocates for women’s financial independence and self-worth. “God gave me gifts that I must share… I’m not going to depend on somebody else.” 📖 Future Projects Upcoming book: The Hope Club — explores the impact of incarceration on families, especially children. “I’ve seen what such a life can do to children… it breaks up families.” 💬 Memorable Quotes “Do the best you can with what you have.” — Her mother’s mantra. “Don’t expect someone else to pay for your dreams.” “I’m no victim. I’ve never been a victim.” “We’re not dreaming big enough.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
