❤MY SISTER (yes this is my real sister)
Natasha I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I’m proud of you.
I know what you grew up with and I was there with you thru some not all but enough of it.
You are truly an amazing and beautiful woman and no matter what your occupation is- I am so proud of you for still being alive and kicking after all the tragedies you’ve endured.
I’m always gonna be here for you. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the most in the past when mom died. I love you sister and good job it’s not easy speaking your truths.
Sweetie just as much as you're her real sister I'm a REAL SISTER as well I've been here. I've been here with at the birth of her children watched her children your nieces and nephews when she's gone through some s*** I've been here crying with her she's on my shoulder and vice versa you're proud of her if you were proud of her you would have been here instead of shutting her the way you have her occupation how dare you what's your occupation
@@bossbabe7921 thanks for being with her physically when I couldn’t- you don’t know anything about me-
I’m glad you love her
So do I
Its not a pissing contest -
Regards her REAL SISTER.
@@Missing-Exploited. Saying its not a competition then saying REAL sister.... 🤔🙄
Interesting. She never brought up siblings. She is definitely hurt. Everyone is hurt.
She is a beautiful woman and I really wish she would get out, but you can tell she is in for life.
Truly hope the best for her
@@FloatingFont stupid comment bro 😎
It is wrong to say a person cannot get out of "the game". I was a cochise addict and alcoholic for 25 years. I was trafficked to Florida, Orlando actually. After 29 arrests and a prison stay, I got out! I can remember on my last arrest asking God to do whatever it took to break me of the entire addiction to that lifestyle. He did!! Now 21 years clean, sober and serving Christ as a Pastor I help others get to detox, rehabs, healthy places. I am praying for her. Thank you Mr. Liata for sharing these stories. There is hope.
Best comment I heard. This is what the devil wants her to think is she can never get out. After 35 years in the streets I got out and I live a very good and peaceful life and I also have a job.
God bless you! There is always a choice!
🙏
what is cochise? cocaine?
Tf is cochise??
I find that these interviews really ground me. They remind me that everyone is human, no matter what they are going through in life.
Mark, thank you for creating this channel. It is very tasteful. No dramatic music, no sensationalist editing, just stories of people, what they do and why they do it.
Tasha, as a social worker I used to work with women your age and older who did get out of the game. It’s difficult but it’s definitely possible. You just need to want out and to seek support. You can 100 percent have a different life, if you want it. ❤
You deserve it too!!
@@BioLiveMagic 😂
She doesn’t want that, she wants the $
How does someone live on minimum wage??
SHE IS IN IT PROLLY FOR QUICK EASY MONEY.
The fact she first says, “I choose this,” then turns right around and describes it as being “stuck for life,” tells me this woman isn’t happy with her life decisions. No friends, no life, unbelievable violence, transient life, no roots, health problems, jail, no hope of getting out… so incredibly sad. Not brain surgery.
She describes herself how was forced to do it and then she unfortunately got used to it. The point I was stumbling over was when she said she sends money to her kids. And they never ask where that comes from?
dude, that lie, is all she has. u want to take that away from her too?
I am a dancer I’ve never had sex for money though, but I do dance, which is a type of sex work and I understand what she says about being stuck for life which I obviously can’t because you need to be looking a certain type of way, but it’s really hard to walk away from that life because from doing it whenever you want not really having a boss and then going to a regular 9 to 5 it’s just hard to explain but I understand what she’s saying
I agree. She has to live with it so these are the lies she tells herself. The doctor has a choice to do what he does. Unfortunately her life circumstances have kept her.
@@crystalavena12 I hope you can get out of that horrific job before you eventually do end up prostituting yourself. You're destroying your future and you probably can't picture it now while you're young. But you won't feel the same when youre older.
I married for love. We struggled, we didn’t have money at times, but I wasn’t looking to “be taken care of”. I was looking for someone to spend my life with, and 30 years later, it’s the best decision I ever made. We don’t have a lot, but we have each other. It’s sad that money would be the deciding factor over love.
Best thing I have heard yet. People like this young lady don't get it. They would rather let evil run there life and die a horrible miserable death. All over greed of money. Which is one of the seven deadly sins
I date for love..they want material things 😢
I want to be taken care of, so what? People like you is insufferable
Same here my husband and I just celebrated 33 years married I was 24 he was 33 and widowed. It’s not always been easy but God is at the center of our lives and we are reaping the blessings of stability
I was also blessed with wonderful parents who I’m helping care for now 93 and 87 they just celebrated 70 years married. I’m thankful for my life
She’s a real sweetie, she masks it under years of trauma, pain and abuse. I really wish her the best and hope she’s stays safe!
Buddy it’s really easy to walk away from her current life style. All she has to do it literally walk away move home and start a job anywhere! Walmart, Mc Donald’s ect. Don’t feel bad for people like this because they trash and CHOOSE this life style. If you know this and still support her then your part of the problem also.
@@gypsyman1939I agree to an extent. Just don’t lose sight of empathy it’s the best gift to have in the world.
I agree, she seems to have a sweet soul that was traumatized as a child.
Spoken so compassionately by a man… it ain’t easy for women and as she said she had no work experience and how’s she gonna survive working at McDonalds….what that $5 bucks an hour! She’s trapped in that lifestyle because of trauma and circumstances! Try and be compassionate and put yourself in her shoes…..
@Louise Buhler well if that fast-food law passes, it'll be $22/hr...in Cali.
Currently, it's $15.50/hr.
She deserves so much better. I really hope she finds her way out into a safe peaceful life.
Yeah... she's so sweet
She didn't talk about being with the fathers of the 5 kids. She could have stayed out after giving birth.. especially with the father of the middle 3. But 3k$ in a day vs being with the guy working in a warehouse.
@@cruiser6260 exaclty, I caught that too. She aint strung out drugs, she not mentally ill. She just prefers to prostitute rather than to work....
"Your kids don't want for anything" except having their mother in their lives and not having the knowledge that she chose money over being with them. It's really sad for everyone involved
Easy to say when you’re not in her shoes… sure her kids would love their mum in their lives but a bit of compassion, imagine how hurt she must be not seeing her children all the time, she’s protecting them
@@louisebuhler9932 she said it herself. She chooses the money.
@Louise Buhler she chose this, she says so herself. I was faced with the same option as a teen mom. I lived in a car while pregnant to save every penny of the job I got while finishing school. I became a nurse and raised my kids after busting my butt. I have compassion for her mindset that made her think she didn't deserve more but she made her choice for 20 years when she chose the money over her kids.
Exactly 🎯. Thanks Mom 😢
True. but youre being too judgemental. you havent walked in her shoes.
I am immensely impressed and profoundly moved by this woman's intellect, mettle, and resilience. She deserves a much better life, and I hope she can find it before it's too late.
The amount of complete self serving bs people write in the comments is comically pathetic.
Gonna have to stop hooking first lol
@@GenuinelyCurious120 I don't know what the f*** you find that's so funny but ain't s*** funny about struggling dog let me see if you can work two jobs take care of seven kids and not be on welfare at all whatsoever no food stamps no Section 8 no none of that so for you to say oh she she has to stop looking first LOL and s*** mother f****** funny b****
yes. too late? shes only 41.
Did she say her life is bad?
It's sad to see her start out like "I choose to do this, it's no different than any other job" and then immediately describe being threatened into prostituting and then forced into continuing with "no way out". Everyone's ragging on her for the intro comparison (I certainly get that, it was a bad one lol) but in reality it's just her trying to cope with 20 years of constant emotional distress. Prostitution is like indentured servitude, it feels like their choice on the surface but deep down they know they're trapped in this lifestyle. Hope she finds a way out eventually.
No... people feel sad for you because it's not normal to sell your body to strangers. It's not like a brain surgeon at all. Just like it takes a certain kind of human to be a brain surgeon, it takes a different kind of human to sell there self. There's a mental defects there. Wires are crossed. It's not normal at all. There's a shit ton of trauma attached to this way of life and she mentions it several times throughout the interview. Why wouldn't people feel sorry for you? Blessings and prayers. God be w you.
He held me down, she cut my face.... but Don't feel sorry for me!!!
@@ericbasora4697 i don't 'why would i .. she wants to live that life style well thats wat comes wit it, we all could be living n hangin wit scumbags 'Its not hard but its hard to get away 'thats hard. 40 years old n the way she's talking she sounds like she's gettin of on her way of life. #stinkhole TunnelC
All she did was contradict herself, change her story, and lie.
@@ericbasora4697 y'all have zero empathy
She may not have furthered her education, but she’s way smarter than a lot of people who have!! She’s articulate, honest, and courageous IMO and I wish her well!
What the heck good is being "way smarter" when your life choices lead you to this end? I'm not being judgmental; I'm simply stating the facts: this woman is attractive and intelligent, yet she lives a life of abuse and self-destruction. So, clearly, being smart has nothing to do with it. If she REALLY REALLY wanted out of that life she could make it happen. I suspect her self esteem is so low that she doesn't truly believe she has any options.
I wished she would not do this for a living, but she has been doing this for 20 years!
If buy smart you mean making horrible decisions for yourself then she's a genius
41 is NOT too late to learn something that secures you financially at old age. Youre young strong and healthy.
Right?! 41 talking like she 58.. i think it's easier to not try if you find excuses tho. She just doesn't want to do something else- which is totally fair enough. She thinks day to day, I do that too, nothing wrong with that but don't bs yourself
@@FloatingFontit's the money that keeps them locked in, like dope dealers. Why work at a job making $1000 a week but working 40+ hours when you could make that in 2-3 hour cumulatively with 3 "dates". Fast money is what keeps people stuck in that life.
💯💯💯
What struck me about this interview is I feel like she has some great intellect and some solid leadership potential, could go far in the work world I think.
Yeah , like an advocate for the legalization of prostitution. 🤣
Yes that’s what i thought too, so sad this is the path that found her.
If prostitution was legal she would be a huge cooperate leader!
My friends mom I grew up with, her doing this actually messed everyone up. A lot of lies she told please don't believe everything. It's honestly really sad reading everyone's comments after I got a crying phone call asking me to watch this video. She's really a great person
@@dylansegur1201 messed who up? She seems like I really great person, so likable!!!! What lies did she tell?
Thank you Mark, you non-judgmental line of questioning and genuine personality is great.
She's intelligent, charming, and attractive but in total denial. Her life could be so much better. I truly wish her all the best.
Tasha you have what it takes to get out of this life. I see so much potential in you. If only you could see it in yourself.
@jimbofischa shut it jimbo
After 20 years, she's a master of her craft.. like a brain surgeon..
What do you propose she do? Quit drugs, start working at walmart and call it a day?
She doesn't choose to get out.
@Emil-No.7 The best thing she could do for her children is to stay away from them.
@@themilosh895I wouldn’t say Master , Bc if so then she’d know the ultimate goal is to save and get out of the game. She 41 still gettin pimped on. Been sellin pssy for 20 years
She smiles because she’s so full of sorrow and shame. She may have chosen this job but she says she was forced into this life? Her voice shakes and this tells me she doesn’t respect this lifestyle. I’m praying for you, Tasha. Jesus saved me from this lifestyle and if he can save a wretch like me, he can save anyone. ✨✨Jesus loves us all with such sincere love and grace. God bless you Tasha. ✨
Based on how Tasha presented herself, I think this is the sort of lady most of us would like as a friend. I appreciated your honesty Tasha.
I find her very likeable and I think I too would like her as a friend or just someone interesting to know. She is just so straightforward and no bullshit. I am really hoping she gets to a better place in life.
Tasha, I'm pretty sure of two things:
1) You're going to read these comments, and
2) You are still young, good looking, healthy, intelligent, articulate and capable of feeling and showing emotion- thereby, you can use this momentum to go anywhere but where you've been to create a chill life for yourself.
You could start a podcast for broken hoes from broken homes with broken hearts and solid minds. These days, you don't even have to "forgive and forget" or any of that stupid shit they preached to us street kids 20 years ago. You don't have to reinvent yourself, hide your past or feel like your recovery needs to take a backseat to getting a square job to pay bills. You can heal yourself by helping other people heal.
If you honestly try just a little, you can channel your experience, your intuition, your connections and ultimately your pain to help heal other people with similar circumstances.
For what it's worth, your life should have proven nothing less than this: You are the most valuable thing you've ever known. Your candor in this interview is endearing, but the confidence it takes to be so open is empowering. Moreso than getting your retirement notice from a broken beer bottle.
Trust yourself, not me. I'm just an internet dude living the advice I'm giving in one way or another.
You said when they jumped you, you wondered "what you did to deserve it" and that blows my mind after 20 years of the life. Here's the lesson, though: Nobody can give you what you deserve but you.
Change the faces, spaces and embraces you see every day- and monetize your struggle by lifting others. You always wanted more- Go Get It.
💯. And though she may not think so, she's still REALLY young (I have 20 yrs on her), very good looking, & smart as hell. Many would love to hear her life story, & pay for the privilege. Also, her kids can get scholarships & loans. She's using that as an excuse. She doesn't even have that "house on a hill." What's the point of all this. Fear of change. She could segue into exactly what you suggested. Go into business for herself. Bright future if she wants it. But she's gotta take that first hard step.
THIS IS SCARY, SHE BEEN THRU A TREMEDOUS ABUSE.
Very well written.
💪
God Bless you! 🙏
She should write a book and give seminars to young vulnerable girls. She could help out people and still make a worthy income with dignity. Wish the best for her. If we would only listen to people more
Absolutely
She truly said nothing insightful. All she stated is that she likes the lifestyle of fast money and there is no hope after you start tricking, which is very untrue. Terrible message........
possibly. but why do you say young vulnerable girls. how about putting all these men to task for the trouble they cause to women. men are. ever put to task. its as if theyre so sexualized they have to buy sex. even when theyre married. and then women are called hoes. men are the hoes. sorry.
Clear truthful answers to each of the questions posed. There are no antics, no games, everything is real and honest. I understand how deep the roots of the problem are and I wish relief to Tasha at least in her last minutes. Security and freedom are what every person needs. If possible, tell her that.
Jus some excuses
@@playingwithkash2134 She does not justify herself, this can be understood at the end of the interview, in her answers to questions about wishing girls and what is the most important lesson in life she has learned. Tasha tells about herself honestly, not justifying her actions, no. She only makes arguments. It is common for any person to justify himself, so that it does not hurt so much if he is not going to make a decision and make a turn in his life.Please excuse me for the translation, I use a Google translator, -perhaps my answer does not look as I would like.
@@natahim-777mir I don't think she's honest to herself. She tells herself these things to cover the pain.
@@col.cottonhill6655 Idk. She didn’t deny the problems. She just doesn’t feel sorry for herself or want a pity party.
@@natahim-777mir this makes sense 😃, thanks.
When she said “My 20 year old, their grown so they’re on their own” that hit hard. The amount of years they’ve been on the earth doesn’t really equate to still needing their mom. 😢
I agree with this. My parents act the same way. I’m 29 and I will always need my mother to be my mother.
@@nikirrae8495 I agree! Those parents that say you are 18 year old adult I am done are the worst! Your children will always need you! They love you, and they love you unconditionally! Nobody on the planet will ever love you like that!
I hope they don't end up in the same profession
I didn't realize how much it still bothered me until that line, I understand they don't probably mean it to come off harsh since they were probably told the same thing, but it does still hurt to hear "You're grown now, figure it out" when you're young and still need that support.
Could have just meant he's out on his own as in not living with mom or dad anymore. Maybe🤷🏻♀️
It's so refreshing to have someone so intelligent and well spoken being interviewed. Some of the people are as thick as shit and their interviews are like pulling teeth.
Unfortunately for Tasha being so intelligent, mentally AND emotionally is definitely taking its toll. Being so self aware is draining, and she looks tired and stressed
Anyways I wish you all the best Tasha, I hope you wake up one day and have the perfect exit job come in a dream 😊
Peace from Australia 🦘🇦🇺🐨🐊🪃🌏🍻☮️
Someone with a clear mind looking in from the outside can see that Tasha has potential. It’s never too late to change or reinvent yourself. She can still get educated and land a decent job like most of the world. Cmon, do it for those kids if you can’t do it for yourself. Otherwise, Mark will be interviewing them because you messed them up. They will remain that abandoned 8-9 year old thats mother DIDNT fight for. You really need to check yourself. Material things like cars and clothes will not be what they remember about you. It will be the drugs, selling yourself and leaving them. And that’s the TRUTH!
If she doesn't have work experience she can say she was a stay at home mom. I hope she can find a life outside of prostitution. She is very well spoken and may not have a college education but has a lifetime of knowledge and has survived this long in the game which takes skills.
I was going to say the same thing about the stay at home mom, however she's full of excuses as to why she can't stop. It's all excuses because many prostitutes quit. Her legs will kill her before she ages out. There's no way she can get a job standing with her swollen legs.
She could be a peer support specialist… a lot of our states offer free classes to become certified.. the only requirements are a hs diploma or equivalent and a history of mental health illness or drug addiction or be a family member of someone with mental illness or addiction issues. There are also support/career services throughout America that help ppl get into careers like construction, phlebotomy, etc. They help you figure out a career path, get certified, find a job--sometimes they even help with transportation and work attire. Google career services near me -they are going to be closer to the inner cities
Everytime I watch one of these videos I am amazed & disturbed all at the same time about how much I relate to these broken souls. I've never experienced anything close to what they've been through. But, I do have trauma & an uncomfortable past. Regardless of circumstances, this is what trauma does & this is what it looks like.
you are right.
consider yourself lucky too.
After hearing this woman story she don't want out of the game. I can say one thing she keeps it real. But I got one thing to say to her. I was a part of the streets for over 45 years and you can get out I did. I say this to her as well you make the money and don't let it make you. Also as you know the streets don't love you. Hope you don't die out there chasing that buck.
I think Tasha likes being a victim. Being a pros for 20 years, gets cut in the face and considers that life changing but doesn’t change her life in any meaningful way. She has a meth addiction. That’s why she’s not ready. More power to mark for giving them a place to start tho.
When it comes to life a person is not STUCK for life doing something. Everyone has the power to change their life if they desire to do so...
yeah and its strange to see this, Ive worked with people at bad jobs that really feel that can't leave it, they make tons of excuses why they cant leave that job, and they stick around waiting to be fired versus leaving for a better opportunity of their own, its a strange mindset to have but you see it in all walks of life. I don't understand it.
My guess, is her kids would rather have a broke mom, working at a fast food joint, living in a small apartment nearby them, than have a mom who makes money but they only see once a year. I hope you find a way out of this life -- Something better is waiting for you.
Her story is heartbreaking and seeing the tears hurts my heat for her. Her legs are so swollen. Prayers God meets you and brings you into a comfortable place in your life.
i dont think that is swelling.
Great interview. Tasha seems like such a nice lady. It’s a shame her life went down that road. She could have gone far. She’s a really strong person. Even with the scar she is still very attractive.
It's not too late for a new beginning.
What a piece of work. That’s the gratitude she got for being loyal and business partner. She never deserved that kinda farewell to that loser. What comes around goes around. Hope she finds peace somewhere else with other people.
I can’t say anything except I hope she has some peace in her life and joy in her heart ❤
She’s so cute, she’s bubbly, smart! I hope she can stay ok!! ❤ I’m sad for her children though.
She should just become a brain surgeon.
@@jjonez787 maybe you should?
SHE IS CUTE, IM SHOCKED SHE HAS NOT CONTRACTED AIDS BY NOW. 20 YRS IN THE GAME.
Her son is one of my best friends since middle school and this video honestly just breaks my heart from the inside out
@@dylansegur1201 😢 it’s definitely hard to watch, thank you for being one of her sons best friends, I’m sure he appreciates you more than you will ever know!
Well this one Tasha hit me hard. You got me to cry when you cried about the kids.. I’m so glad the dad is able to step up but I see the pain in your eyes. My life 20 yrs ago could of ended up this way but I caught myself early and changed. No prostitution but def drug use. I choose my children but I should of choose them sooner. I get it hun. God bless you ❤
Sasha's life is no different than someone who has been out at war. She is so articulate and able to convey plainly the trauma in her life making her such an outstanding interview.
That's dramatic 😂
Give it a rest 🤣
It's depressing that such a beautiful, intelligent woman is so solidly wired in this mindset and twisted idea that she has no viable choice. This is the result of childhood trauma. It's generational. So sad.
🤡
Her name is Tasha. Comparing a prostitute to a combat veteran…..? Please……give me a break.
Tasha you would be an excellent counselor! You're beautiful, bright and street smart. You're knowledge would be invaluable and I think you could definitely change lives!
If this lady had chosen a different life path, she could've easily become at least a mid-level supervisor in a big corporation. She's smart, articulate, attractive, and tough as nails.
Most definitely
from experience .....in AR.....well, the good ole boys club is real and we girls aren't a part of it. She has the capability, but the opportunities are few and far between to get someone to believe in you. Welcome to "WM land"...NW AR
@Open Ureyes oh here we go with the female victimization. This woman chose her path but you turn it into her being qualified and denied opportunities. 😂😂😂
mid-level supervisor in a big corporation ? wtf are you talking about ?
@@anthonylowney1395 😆😆😆
Skills: worked with high net worth individuals in the sale of commodities
Organized a portfolio of several vendors and customers to complete 4-5 service calls per day
Handled 3-5k daily of gross receipts
That is what u put on a resume... put on a mask and nose to the grindstone... I've sold and been on drugs b4 now gotta fake it to go straight but street smarts better than anything nerds say foreal. Stay strong Tasha praying for u
You need to write my resume 👍✍️
@Lex lmk ur jobs... writing only half of it can get chatgpt to write something then soup it up lol. Stay strong
I pray for Tasha. I think she is beautiful and the scar on her face only endears me to her. It shows her tenasity and I wish she would try to get on to a different life. She could be so much more than she gives herself credit for.
Bless her heart I can tell she's such a kind hearted person Thats been through hell the streets is dirty
Mark,
How you expose a lost soul's vulnerability / weakness & strength in a single interview is nothing short of brilliant.
You are an incredible being.
It’s interesting that she would compare her work to a surgeon waking up and choosing that career everyday. Surgeons don’t have their lives threatened daily, but instead help the lives of others. Just from this interview alone, I’m sure mark would provide her the resources needed to help her get out of this lifestyle. What’s stopping her is the threat of her life being taken from her. That’s no way to live.
Found that very powerful and levelling. My best wishes to her and children.
It surprised me in therapy how easy it was to have dismissed trauma as normal. It’s easy to see in someone else. She initially said she had a happy childhood and then went on to describe a terrible childhood. I did the same thing. My childhood was fine, but I’m here to figure out what’s wrong with me. It’s so unfortunate. I hope she finds a way to love herself.
are u single though?
All of Mark’s interviews start like that. They think their childhood was great BUT the abuse is revealed in the next sentence.
Hey Misty! I just looked at your running videos and you seem to be a pretty darn good motivator and inspiration yourself! I think you would make a good interview. Take care, be safe, run far! R.
Some deep points and very well-developed concepts to which the realities of life boil down to. I do think I have been blessed to have people in my life who showed up to contribute to our relationship rather than manipulate it. That has made a huge difference. I know that it may seem difficult, but perspective on a topic can be a game changer. I wish you the best on this journey and the future can be different.
She says she doesn't believe in love yet she has a shirt that says "love" on it. She said she chooses this life and it's no different than a brain surgeon. I believe this woman is genuine yet is living in denial. What is sad is that she seems very articulate and intelligent. If only she could see the potential the way many of these viewers do. I think getting a job at a gas station or a Walmart would have much more value than a pay check. It would help her break the cycle of living life off of ill gotten gains, and show her that working an honest days life has so much more value than $.. It would most likely lead to doors opening up with better opportunities. She is an intelligent woman and it's not too late to start over, and build better relationship with her children. There are definitely good men out there who'd be interested in being in a meaningful relationship with her. She has a lot to offer beyond sex. I hope she reads these comments and hears all the positive feedback. I wish her all the best!
True irony with the T shirt. She's morally compromised because she does nt sugar coat her 'work' and calls it out straight 'whoring for 20 years' - and not call her self a sex worker. This apple (Tasha) did nt fall far from the tree (her mom). And from what she says she has daughters herself now....mmmmm.
Wishing Tasha-p many blessings and much joy. Please take good care.
"Even though i cant have my kids, they don't want for anything"..... umm YES THEY'D want a MOTHER in their daily lives over material things. The kids dont care she makes "$3000 a day.
Children need your presence, not your presents!!!!
The pimp Takes it all anyway so what does she have ? Nothing
Them kids don’t need 3000$ per day . Her meth habit and pmp needs that.
Beautiful and well spoken! I feel the answers to Mark's questions were truthful and honest. Tasha I hope you are able to feel and give love one day! That 14 yr old daughter will soon be grown and possibly have children of her own. She will need her Mom... more than once a year! xo
She also has a 20 year old son that I've been best friends with since middle school. This honestly breaks my heart seeing this. I know he's hurting watching and listening to this
@@dylansegur1201 I am so sorry! I hope your friend can find peace and comfort in his life and has good family support and perhaps one day a relationship with his mother. xo
@@margarethairsine8648 don't ever get me wrong she's a great person and very fun to be around, just not consistent enough for her family. She actually has 3 sons and 2 daughters that are all very well fed and taken care of !
“What would you do in life if $ wasn’t an issue?” I always want to know this. I think it shows the heart of a person. Or at least where their hope and curiosity live.
To be honest if money wasn't an issue for me, I truly think I would be a horrible human being, its the having a work schedule having to provide having to pay bills having to wake up and work that keeps me honest and on the straight path, take the need to make money out of the equation I would be just as perverse as those people you hear about that have that kind of money, just being honest. great question btw

It is crazy how unbelievably hard and cruel life is for some people.
She seems very nice, well spoken, and she has a beautiful smile.
I hope that she gets out of the "game'.
“ Im not a rat “ so lets these scum bags who forced her into prostitution and others who almost killed her continue to do it to other innocent girls. Well done . Respect ✊
Right! ," I'm not a rat" is a false justification of being a criminal minded person. It's justifying your lifestyle through twisted philosophy. Best for her to rethink. Gentlemen do NOT go with prostitutes. This poor woman is simply lying to herself.
Going to the police would be dangerous for her, if word got out. Before they had time to react - presuming they'd care enough to bump the report towards the top of the list - she'd be dead.
@@apaaaa yip, you’re right. Problem is that world is now becoming mainstream. And the world gets shittier by the day.
Saying on youtube she will get revenge will probably get her hurt quicker though.
@@jimboswell4818 correct!
If you hate her for this credo, make sure you hate cops also. They also do not rat on each other, allowing dirty cops to thrive.
Thank you for the interview Tasha and SWU
Thank you for this body of art and work mark!
💚 very interesting interview- easy to listen to- wish her healing health and peace
She has the power to break the cycle! She seems like a smart lady so she could easily switch gears. I’ve always wondered why! I’m sure it’s something that I would never understand. The harsh reality of her life is heartbreaking. But there is a way out. You just have to make a decision and align with ppl who can actually help. There are agencies and organizations that would help her. But she has to put in the work and make up her mind to do it.
Even if she accessed those resources , any job that would hire her at her age and without a college degree or a resume wouldn't be able to provide a living wage and she still has her children to think about . The kind older gentleman may be her best bet but I don't know how much he would be willing to not only make sure that she but her kids are well taken care of ..
Excellent interview. Tasha is incredibly intelligent and articulate.
Gooood Morning All!👋🤓 or whatever time of day it is for you. Peace and Love from 6:00am Brooklyn NY🇺🇸 to you and wherever in the world🌍 you are, my SWU fam
Good morning brother, 4:20 a.m. in the mile high city! I hope all is well with you, have a great day my friend!!!
Good morning Eyes, it’s good to see you! I hope you’re doing well. Much love sent your way! 🫶
@@Rochelle721 hey Roc, great to see you!!!
5:15 am from StL MO - good morning!
@@Gram72534 Good morning, Gram. It’s good to see you. I hope all is well on your end. Sending love your way! 🫶
She is so smart and beautiful and I know that she has alot of fear. So heartbreaking 💔
She is beautiful. I see a woman who is just trying to survive ❤
I hope she finds peace and can be a bigger part of her kids life
To watch someone cry and suffer and then say they choose this life and are happy is mind boggling to me…
Added irony of wearing a 'Love' t shirt...
She’s avoiding dealing with the deep hurt and damage. That’s her choice … so she does have one
Her kids don't "want for anything"...maybe just their mom 😢
Maybe too much drama associated with her?
They usually be lying when they say this
So smart and beautiful and well spoken. Heartbreaking. She could have done/been anything.
Marrying the 70 year old New Orleans guy could be an option and a way out. I’m sure if you keep rocking his world it would be all yours in the end 😂
As a neurosurgeon i have to agree with her...we both work on organs that are vital to survival.
Haha
“An elephant in the room, or a skeleton in the closet.”
Such a profound line from a lady who has seen more shit than most of us combined.
Seen more dicks you mean.
Tough woman 👏🏻
Every choice has a consequence whether it’s negative or positive.
Or a midget in the basement.
She most definitely has been in the trenches.
Life is hard and until you are faced with certain circumstances you don’t know what you would do
Trust me, I've been faced with a lot and never once considered selling myself.
Another great interview, Mark. Her comparison to a brain surgeon was more of a metaphor...of course the two are completely different in ways, but I think she was getting at the fact that we're all human.
It's just self-brainwashing. If most people were honest to themselves they would find their lives unbearable.
@@ItsSauIGoodman there is no difference between being in prostitution or being a surgeon. The way you get there is different, prostitutes get killed more often than doctors. In the end all this makes big difference.
Absolutely nothing like a brain surgeon. I grew up in a bar too. I put myself through college. You are a smart woman. You can too. It's not too late. Pell grants. You can do anything. You just gotta wanna.
Exactly. She stated she didn't want out of the life. She knows her shelf life for the job is expiring but she views herself above working in a warehouse. Being a hooker is far above that type of menial employment. ;{
Childhood trauma leads to so many issues, drug use crime, the list goes on... But blame the woman. Makes sense.
Personal responsibility. I experienced every abuse you can experience as a child, and I acted out in all the ways a person acts out because of it, but as a young adult I was blessed to be provided with insight into my behavior and my mind by a kind older person, a mexican medicine woman who has since passed away (rip Maria), and it helped me transform my internal story. I feel remorse for the bad things I've done, and I've atoned for what I could, but no matter what or why, they were my choices and I made them, I am responsible for them and fully at fault for their ramifications. Anything else makes us victims to our pain, and slaves to the people who inflicted it. I am fully to blame for my misdeeds, no matter how broken I was. Our culture has a deleterious undercurrent of victimhood as virtue, and it only perpetuates the damage.
Intersectionality is poisonous to self actualization.
@@Ichthys42 I'm glad you found this person. I'm not advocating not taking responsibility, I'm advocating empathy and compassion, which this person gave you. Perhaps that is why you were able to turn your life in a different direction? Unfortunately, there are many who don't come upon such a person and have to rely upon their own damaged psyche to try to find their path. I wish this lady all the best. Peace out ✌️
I like Tasha and how she was very open to share her experiences and personal story. But at 30:20 when Mark asked her “Do you believe in love?” And she replies “No, not anymore, no, no.” And yet she wore a shirt that said LOVE written on it. 🤔
As a social worker, I can see Tasha has a lot of potential in her career if she chooses to make those changes. Most important thing is that she needs to work on healing her childhood trauma and practice self-love and see her self-worth. Life is a choice and how we choose to experience that depends on our actions. We can be victims or survivors and become thrivers if we choose to believe that we want is what we deserve. Be empowered rather disempowered. I wish her well in getting the support she needs. 🙏❤️☮️
She is very pretty. She could have a regular job. She could just say she been raising her children. Lots of women don’t work then. I never worked for 10 years. Then went back into full time work.
Yes go get a regular job get some government assistance low income apt. and move up from there .. I see lots of women pick themselves up outta a hole but they have to change the type of people the hang with just like a addiction you can’t be around people who use. 🙂
Great interview! Very articulate n great story teller, real survivor, hope she does well.
I like her a lot. You can get out of the game. You still have a lot of life to live and healing to do. It is not to late Tasha
God bless you and keep you safe. I’m from Fayetteville too. My younger sister, whom I love more than anyone in the world, became a prostitute. She was murdered in Rogers two years ago of 46.
I loved her from the moment mom and dad brought her home from the hospital. That love has never quit and never will.
Her story? She was beautiful and a six years marriage, he divorced and remarried quickly. She never remarried and had no alimony.
She she was a licensed massage therapist and began to practice in a massage therapy room at a local convention center. Little by little, men paid big prices for a small deluxe massage, then it turned into more of a deluxe massage, she got hooked into the money, which was like the life she had become accustomed to. She developed severe alcoholism and she told me that every morning when she woke up, her first thought was, I hate you .
After she passed away, it fell on me to clean out her storage unit. It was full of black longera and black high heels, and black gloves and cigarette lighters. She didn’t smoke, but my dad died of lung cancer, and she felt like cigarettes were evil. So she would give discounts in return for their lighters. It was quite a varied collection.
I watched your story because I wanted to understand my sister better. Thank you. You helped me.
Is the swelling due to lupus or hep c her legs look extremely swollen
First of all, she is very beautiful and doesn’t look 41! Second, I want to encourage her that anything is still possible, and you take take all of the sales skills (I hate to say that) and be such a great asset in a number of industries!
Not a good comparison
Thank you for sharing your story, I wish you all the very very best ❤
How a child is raised & what they see & are told can traumatize a person for life!! Many times they make bad decisions as adults because they is no one to be the good example. I feel sad for her but she is choosing the money over raising her children.
I wish better days ahead for you Tasha. You deserve peace and good things in life.
well there is a long running thing called MORALS, which is a great standard for poeple to follow. losing that just will create pure madness that we are seing these days. The streets have made you feel that way if you chose your family over yourself they would also repect you for that. You work at wallmart and live in a apartment but show them love and respect and do your best thats how children should be raised. Such a self appealing world we live in now. You are a beautiful and smart woman and you talk of a hardened life, but i believe you chose the easy way out, especially for choosing your life style over your kids. You send them money yes but money is not LOVE. I hope you find love again.
Why all of them have so many kids
I think she could get out, but is stuck and scared. She is very smart
Hope you puts forth the effort to do it for her kids
Life breaks my heart. It does not matter how much you know, or how many times you have been around the block.
Sounds like she needs to call the older fella up and get it set up. He obviously has a good retirement. If she settles that down and gets married she would be eligible to receive that money too! Time to be smarter than the hustle!
She’s not good enough for him
@@nancydavieau how you figure? He keeps a calling.....
Dear Tasha, I am so sorry your life has been so difficult. I see in you a Strong, good and intelligent woman. I only wish the best for you and send good thoughts your way.
She has a beautiful smile..she is worth so much more…
like she said, dont pity her.
@@minigiant8998 no pity, just facts
Unfortunately, about $100 to the streets. That's her worth.
She not worth more 😂 what a cope for the sisterhood- she is worth about $50 an hour
@@MotorCityKitty1112 now u got the internet judging her worth. happy?
Wow!!!!! She is absolutely stunning for 41 years old. Absolutely stunning
Secrets are the problem
Say it out loud
Well done
Much respect
Super intelligent and articulate. It’s very interesting to me that she feels there is no way out of the game. But also i get the world we live in money is important. Wishing her safety and all the best.
I like her. Thanks for having her on, Mark. I wish. I wish. I wish.
Brain surgeons wake up and go to work in the morning but they don’t get hit in the face with a beer bottle by their coworkers
And your point is ? She's talking about the respect we all deserve just to be humans. Some people like you is Insufferable
This might be true.
She sure is proud of what she does. SMFH
One of the saddest videos I’ve seen of yours. She is beautiful inside and out and worthy of a good life. Please help her realize she can choose what her life is and can be.
The most honest interview I’ve watched. Tasha wishing you health and happiness.
Thanks Betty❤
