Annette is more eloquent and coherent in telling her life story than most sober people. Quotable insights from beginning to end. Wonder what that mind could do if it could get past all the pain. Clearly a diamond in the rough.

I couldn't agree more. I hope Mark asks her back because I want to know her educational background, not just schooling. She has many natural gifts.

[@casewojo6186]

You clearly have no idea how crack works on some people. Uppers can actually calm the mind making it easier to communicate. I’m tired of the ignorance when it comes to drugs. Do some research and stop assuming you know what you’re talking about. Not all drugs make you drool and act like a maniac dummy.

Yes I said similar in my comment. The hellish life these kids are born into is nothing short of a nightmare.....why do some "parents" get to have the privilege of giving birth only to bring these babies into hell on earth??? I will Never understand but I love the way she talks and tells her story....hopefully one day she will get the freedom of sobriety and some happiness in this life she never got as a child 💯❤️😥

It’s why ALL people turn out how they do. If we wanted to change a generation we would focus on kids ages 0-5. 🇺🇸

[@lf1496]

The violence and dysfunction in many African American families goes directly back to the plantation. This culture of violence didn't stop when these people walked away from plantations. It was passed down like a recipe for gumbo. What you see with many black people is the mimicking of the brutality they experienced at the hands of overseers and Slave owners. This kind of dysfunction rarely exists in African families from the continent. God Bless this woman.

It teaches others what not to do and what comes with this particular lifestyle. Some of these same addicts talk about God and how they believe God is the only one who can help them overcome. For example Mark did another interview with a young lady name Savannah who was a crack addict. Savannah talked about God and her relationship with him while being an addict.

I feel like as a creator you have good intentions, but know that this is someone’s mom- my biological mother- and if you want to bring light to the subject and abolish the stigma around substance abuse and trauma, maybe don’t label the video and Annette as a ‘crack addict’. Next time, just title it an interview with a PERSON living with Substance abuse. It’s the reason why when people walk into AA and say they’re ‘alcoholics’, everyone replies back saying ‘Hi insertnamehere’. The language we use shapes our values and thought processes immensely. But thank you, it’s good to know she’s alive. If you’re going to dive into this world, Just maybe consider that your content might be the first time someone’s seen an image or video of their birth mother… and this is what you titled it.

Do you know this person?

[@chicacece]

I thought she was in her late 40s early 50s! She looks great!!!

[@carolcovington528]

Her pain and trauma are palpable . Heroic and fragile. I am inspired by her will to survive. By any means necessary. She keeps her truth at 💯

[@lisawiggins4670]

Ms. Annette your interview was very powerful about your life Journey. You are truly a blessing. May God fulfill that void and help you feel his unconditional Love..

[@sharonaerneckeaitchison4500]

After all she has endured, she DOES look younger than 62! She has quite the gift of talk and frankly, I think she could be a preacher!

[@dface6447]

Annette 🙂,such an interesting intelligent beautiful Wise lady,you speak so well and to be so levelled as a person after what you and your mum went through speaks volumes as to you as a human being🙂,Mark i for one would like to see annette back again 👍.

[@brendalw5831]

I'm not sure if her story is true or if she is delusional as a result of her chidhood trauma. She's all over the place with her storyd

[@christopherwalls2763]

Annette, you need to get well, so you can help others. You’re very intelligent.

[@kimwashingtonofficial6041]

I agree. She’s very intelligent.

[@nicolettedouglas5764]

So many very positive comments about Annette. I am touched for her. I hope she is able to come to the channel and read the comments to see how loved she is. Wishing peace and Blessings on you, Annette. God hears and knows and continue to follow in his path. 🙏🏾

Lord have mercy, the amount of child abuse she suffered is sickening, the demons that did this to her are just demonic!!

[@joycejean979]

What an amazing story teller… I pray she writes a book one day.

[@joannaazar7396]

Wishing her the best!! I’m from Elizabeth NewJersey ❤❤

[@michellefranklin3479]

You are a remarkable woman Annette, truly remarkable. Excellent interview, thankyou so much for sharing your story. Hope you find a soft place to land in the future and get to share your wisdom and insight.

[@bethunelabeach8349]

I’m so glad she got this opportunity to to voice her struggles she’s a beautiful well spoken lady I wish her the best as she continues her journey to be a voice for all the women out there

Parents are supposed to protect their kids, all these stories start with the breakdown of the family

[@bigdreamer7826]

“Wow” is all I can say… I pray that God never takes his hands off of her. She’s went thru so much as a child, and an adult, I couldn’t even fathom, and she still is pleasant and has a heart full of Love to give. I pray 🙏🏽 God blesses her beyond her wildest dream, and that he gives her strength and comforts and quiets her mind. She grew up fast and hard. ❤

[@EllEss331]

Your comment exemplifies the absurdity of god-belief & religious indoctrination - You "pray" that the same god who did nothing while this woman was repeatedly raped as a child, will bless "her beyond her wildest dream"? How does that make a lick of sense? If you believe your invisible "God" has the power to bless, but can't or won't save a child from sexual torture & horrific abuse, why is he worth calling a "God" or why is he even worth worshipping? What kind of "God" stands by and does nothing as a child is raped? Read that slowly and let each word sink in... I'll ask this again, What kind of "God" stands by and does nothing as a child is raped? Can you see how absurd religious deity worship is? I'm sorry you've been so brainwashed. Your imaginary "God" is a monster.

[@melodydavis7052]

Come on Annette, you can do this. What an amazing woman. The turmoil she went through is still going through, not fair at all. She could and should write a book.

[@pandatheandroid4606]

Wow. This lady reminds me of my uncle. They've experienced so much life during their time and still find beauty and happiness in it. I'd love to watch a follow up, and I'd like to hear more of her stories

[@carmenroffa]

3 minutes in and I'm sick to my stomach and very sad
