Swiyyah Nadirah Muhammad continued the interview.
Her life today, “I live in Saint Petersburg, FL. I’ve
never been married and I have no kids. I was in an eight-year
relationship and was almost married but we didn’t make it. I was always
paranoid that he would cheat on me. He admitted that he cheated on me
twice. He told me that he was gay and cheated on me with a man.
Every day I look in the mirror and ask myself how can I change
for the better? In order to change the world you have to change
yourself. A lot of people think they are perfect and don’t need to
grow. We will never stop learning and developing our souls. I have
a BA degree in Psychology and I’ve experienced mental illness so I’m able to
help more people than someone that have never walked in the shoes of someone
with mental illness. For years I was trying to find myself.
I’ve read a lot of books and I know who I am and my passion in
life. When I give my motivational speeches, I teach that 90% of Americans
hate their jobs. They are trying to survive day to day and don’t have the
time or energy to find and fulfill their passions. God has created every
human being with a special gift to give back to the world. The job you hate to
do is a job loved by someone God has touched. Find something you love to
do and would do for free. Build up a clientele and expertise and read
books and learn on line how you can make money doing what you love to do.”
Swiyyah’s continues to heal.
She shared, “In my book Don’t
Call Me Crazy! I’m Just in Love,
I teach you the same power techniques I used to overcome mental illness.
One technique I give is to listen and allow people to finish their whole
thought process and do not interrupt. When they finish talking, then you
speak. Before I learned this power technique I would cut people off and
get upset for days because I misinterpreted what they were trying to say.
Also when people judged me I would get upset for days. I learned
when someone makes a judgment call about someone they don’t know nine times out
of ten they’re talking about themselves or someone close to them. Don’t
say anything. Let them keep talking and eventually they will tell you
what’s really own their minds. I’ve never received counseling to overcome
my mental illness but I do take medication. I’ve been on medication for
six years and haven’t had a break down.”
Her support, “God and my wonderful mother have helped me get to
the level I’m at now. My mother was there for me the entire time I had my
relapse. She held my hand and took me to the hospital. She gives me
encouraging words. She tells me to never give up. She always has
solutions for my problems.”
Her closing words, “Life is 1% what happens to you and 99% how
you react to it. This lesson is very important. I’m scheduled
to give workshops with other female leaders in my community with High school
students. We’re teaching them how they can change the world. If you
want to bring our workshop to your school please contact me at
727-776-0291. And if there are any professors or teachers reading this,
please contact me about making my book a required reading at your University or
High School. One person can change the world and that one person may be
you. Never give up!
