Wow, I was feeling the same way!

because she is slouching so much?

@@peimonmajlessi8338 yes exactly. I caught my self twice straighting out on my chair while watching the interview. Chakereh akhayeh majlessi

I agree 1000% I thought I was the only one who’s back felt weird after watching this!

Yeah, it looks very uncomfortable.

Yep 👍

Truth🙌🏽

Yes it sure does but not all of these people are telling the absolute truth however I do get something from each of these videos even if it’s just being able to say “I DONT know if that's true sounds suspect but reminds me not to do those things made up or not”

Yes, it definitely humanizes some of the people we would otherwise just look at as what they are instead of who they are such as "sex offender" or "heroin addict".

Definitely helps to not judge so much and to treat others more humanly or compassionately.

Why mention that you are Nigerian.

@@terrytownsend5583Why not?

You are a good brother to try and understand what your brother is dealing with.

@@terrytownsend5583because in our culture , we do not understand drugs or this lifestyle . It has nothing to do with race just culture .

@@foxyfee2194 feel free to repeat yourself. You seem to have it all worked out. Is this issue related to culture?

It's called reality.

We must look at what we have done to one-another. Just the cunningness of people is so damaging. The deceit the inability for right speech, the utter lack of integrity having any value anymore. Everyone is so full.of shit. We need to speak our truths it helps in this creation of doing better. We have to put the pieces back with help from each met on your path. Eye to eye, heart to heart We can heal each other so open your heart Chakras wide and mobe to heal.

@@conmanumber1246 A stark one for sure! ❤️

And dope...

True... I've been thinking about posture lately, keeping my back straight and making eye contact, it's a whole thing... I'm sure if she's using anything it is subconscious or hey, maybe she's jusr cold!! We dunno

Screams she high. She’s still on dope

@@mollyschultz2331 Yes mam

It doesn’t help that he gave her a tall stool. Anyone with hyper mobility is going to struggle with this chair.

Same. I watch these while getting ready for work

Right? It gets addictive

I do take breaks sometimes, specially after a very sad interview but I’m always back.

@@mimi1o8 i know - i have to take breaks from time to time. some of this stuff is heart-breaking.

Yeap every lunch lol

i think shes just high as fuck

@@booftoot definitely!!!!! Lol

Especially considering what she said about being more confident now

Exactly, I wonder if her pimp made her act like she’s all good and fine and does this on her own. Poor baby.🥺

Yes, it is like she is trying to not even be in the space. Like she is trying to curl up.

Nothing seems to have "traumatised" her into this life, she decided to do it, she has to take responsibility for her actions, u don't "poor girl" her

I bet her family are the ones that fucked her up. Looks like a fully alert and oriented human making her own decisions.

Yes, her loving family who dosed her up on prescription drugs as a child. Some parents are better off avoided. She is on her own, doing the best she can, but how can you know love when you were never shown it growing up? Being in a coercive relationship with her business partner is possibly home for her, as she was controlled, drugged and manipulated by the ones who should have loved and protected her growing up.

@@ridgefrost She didn't simply choose that life. Trauma is not always overt. I will "poor girl" her all day.

Honestly and its really sad bc this is a girl Id want to be friends with. She seems fun and sweet and funny and smart. Its always sad on this channel seeing people that could be so amazing and deserve so much better... It makes you feel helpless because you so badly wish you could reach out and help them personally.

She is happy she says

People who "deserve" a good life are those who don't use drugs , drink , smoke , ink themselves with rediculous tattoos , sell themselves , etc , etc , etc , etc

@@CmonstoleCmonstole so you've always been perfect your whole life?

@@megandrynan6080 I don't drink , use drugs , ink myself with rediculous tattoos , sell my self , etc , etc , etc , etc

Same

denial is sometimes the only way of survival, unfortunately. i hope she's okay 😞

What if it is ?

Sex work is valid work but she should not work with a pimp

@Roman DeShadows A couple of kids??? Lol. The uterus doesn't have to be used to live a good life.

I thought similar also in regard to school. Maybe mom could’ve, if finances and time permitted, provided her with a more relaxed schooling environment or smaller schooling group. Someone one-in-one maybe. Idk but the typical learning style isn’t the same for everyone.

Totally agree!

Never thought I’d say this about someone before…but I think she could benefit from the armed forces of some type. She says she requires someone “making” her get up and keep up a routine etc, which she has now with her pimp, but also which her story about the boarding place in Utah corroborates with that. She seems like she thrives on an external force of structure and routine. The armed forces could provide that for her, in a legal way, and with much more traditional, safe, and sustainable benefits.

@@twdjt6245 I am pretty sure that the army is not a good place for people, and especialy not for her.

Right ✅ thought I was the only one I've been there its draining and its just not wats it but I do understand why people be in the game so long

Been there too and you're absolutely right. Hope she gets out.

I hate that it's called "the game". It's a con is what it is.

He has an app that you can get on Roku or whatever you have. It would get more exposure if he got a deal with one of the big streaming services, but for now he's doing this and has even more content on the app that he doesn't post on here.

Why pay for those steaming services when we can donate directly and watch for free on KZfaq?

Better on KZfaq so Mark retains 100% control and no external hassles that inevitably come along from other venues.

Idk, I really enjoy a lot of the folks on this channel but Mark seems to ask a lot of the same questions. Maybe I need to see more? Not sure what to make of him in general.

I'm autistic and... Everything about her seems like an undiagnosed autistic. I see a lot of myself in her and relate to her on several levels. She mentioned ADHD... And that's all most autistic women would be diagnosed with when seeing a professional (it was considered a boy only condition). But I also noticed the stimming, sensory seeking behavior, excessive non necessary details, masking, trouble with verbal translation, excessive hand gestures even speaking, nonhetero orientation, and had mentioning difficulties with cognitive thinking and processing.

The framing of this video is wierd. Its deliberate and a wierd crop.

@@krizzlec I think it was done to try and convey how Sway comes across here. More of a creative embellishment.

@@naterbaternaterbater Yes yes yes! I was thinking the same the whole time while watching this. There is a guy who is repeatedly on this channel and I think he is also on the spectrum (I believe his name is Eric). Black folks are also way under diagnosed/ misdiagnosed. Don't even get me started on Black females on the spectrum going un/mis diagnosed. Then add in that society socializes both girls/women and Black folks differently. I could on, but will wrap it up. Anyway- enjoyed seeing your comment.

single mama life result

Same

I feel the same, though this show has taught me that people can be more expressive when relaxed, as in sitting, but not so constrained (for lack of a better term), as in a couch or even just a chair with a back.

Same.

Best way for Mike not to get hair or body lice in there I suppose.

@@blazefairchild465 who is mike?

Yes! I realized that, having been in this life and having gone along with psychos and abusers to save my life, I ended up having a hard time seeing red flags in relationships later. You’ve got to have those red flags to warn you when something isn’t normal and you’re in danger, but if you show that you notice that on the streets, people figure you’re a loose end. So I just learned to act like things were normal and just lost that whole intuitive sense. I read a good book about that by a woman who survived being attacked and raped when she was traveling with another woman, who was killed. She ended up being a reporter in war zones because she was able to ignore her trepidation about walking into places like that and interviewing people. Of course, I just ended up with a bunch of psychological baggage, LOL. No, I hope my non-reactivity will help me with a career in counseling, since it will help me not to act as though I’m judging people. Having had a crazy background, I can’t tell you how many counselors can’t hide that they are actually shocked by what you’re saying.

That's addiction for ya.

They’re too traumatic to keep revisiting. Really you need to be immersed in PTSD therapy to process it otherwise you’re just hurting yourself over and over revisiting it. You need to be in a safe place mentally and physically to open up Pandora’s box

Same! He put a knife to my throat but all in all prostitution has helped me grow as a person Wtf 😳😳😳

Well put

Yeah it's so real. These are not one time news events.

disfunction ? what you consider to be a disfunction is NOT one to these people. She is own her own journey with her own life lessons.

@@111111111Tiger There is always someone who does not get it. I did a quick background on you, you cannot relate to these people at all so go play with daddys money.

Tb rezo hermana por ti

Watching this channel for prayer devotionals isn’t crazy. All I would say is that transformation involves two components, Prayer and Action. Prayer alone is just wishful thinking. Prayer combined with Action is the formulation of Faith. Perhaps listen to some interviews with Stacey Abrams. Even if you don’t agree with her politics, she’s a highly motivated individual.

Exactly. She has a lot to offer if she can get off the damn shit she's on.

This may be her thing . A lot of people choose SW, she seeks to have chosen this on her own

I would not consider this well spoken

What a mess!!

I think her pimp is her worst enemy.

Some people enjoy drugs, the madness of the streets, and the thrill of promiscuous behavior

@@lolife1981 I know life is complicated but she’s a woman not a girl. It’s time to grow up and take responsibility for yourself. Just my personal opinion.

@@lolife1981 According to whom?

Yes, this is really heartbreaking 💔💔💔. I always wonder if this type of behavior is in the DNA sometimes because like you said, it seems she had great parents in her life. If I understood correctly, her adopted mom knew her birth mother who had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and gave her up. I wonder if there were many bad influences when she went to Utah?

@@bbe3034 I grew up with both parents in the house, a sister 3 years older than me, a great childhood, made good grades, went on family vacations, etc. The “picture perfect family” so to speak. I ended up a heroin/fentanyl addict. My experience with addiction started with an injury & I was prescribed opiates. I wasn’t educated by the dr about the potential of opiates/abuse/addiction. I took *AS PRESCRIBED* & *STILL* became addicted! Anyway, I’m sure there *is* more to her story, just like there is more to mine..it involves trauma from an abusive relationship. So there was nothing my parents could have done differently to prevent me being an addict, unfortunately..but fortunately, I am now clean from that awful horrid *HELL* that I was existing in for so long. June 17th, 2019. We do recover.

It could be an attachment disorder. We don’t know how her parents developed their attachment with her and vice versa. Being adopted, she may have felt terrible knowing she was given up for adoption and that her bio mom was out there but not with her. Then she mentioned her dad passing away when she was in high school. It’s a lot of stuff to deal with.

@@cakepinky I’m so glad you’re doing good! Congratulations to you! 💕

with the best will in the world, great adoptive parents,great bio parents etc adoption still has a huge impact on a person's life. The adopted child always questions why they were given up, some handle this ok,some don't. Our personality is formed in the first few years of life, any trauma, pre language or not, leaves its shadow,even if we don't consciously see it.

Agreed!!! It is very distracting

He’s paying them for interviews. Also, seating isn’t very high on a Skid Row homeless person’s priority list or so I’d imagine.

@@morgandeloach1040 she isn’t homeless. He interviews plenty of folks that are not homeless

@@morgandeloach1040 No matter what someone’s current priorities are be it drugs or money, helping them sit up straight and comfortable is common decency. Think of it as work, would you work at your job on a stool like that comfortably for an hour? Mark does great work, I am not criticizing him. Only suggesting a more comfortable chair, so viewers can focus more on what the person is saying. If people are physically more comfortable they might also divulge more. I do videography, so I see it from two different angles

Seriously? How about you send mark a chair and then go haul it around for him while you're at it? Sincerely, a spinal cord injury victim. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

There's a reason he has that kind of chair, i assume. He can afford a different chair.

for real. these people deserve to sit back and be comfortable damn.

😂👏🏽

The stool is probably for the sake of the shot and the background being visible

@@mirellefritz9862 I agree. Also, the interviewees will sometimes spin around on it, which makes them really so human, if you know what i mean.

The kids get a break from their own mania. My friend’s kid is on those drugs and he feels relief from his mania only when he takes them.

@@happydayz7857 you're rationalizing

Western people love to drug their kids!

Demons are not real. They are imaginary. There are hallucinations that people get from health issues and from drugs etc., but religious/supernatural crap isn’t real.

This 💖. My heart goes out to her.

It can't be utopian either, you need the good with the bad, so that you can appreciate when its good.

Brilliant. 😂

You remember her from Manhattan? As in seen her there?

@@paulv2394 She said Manhattan Beach, not Manhattan. Sway said she grew in Redondo Beach, which is right next to Manhattan Beach (basically bordering cities just south of L.A.). I'd be interested to hear how Jessica knew her and what she was like before getting into this life.

@@deepg7084 gotcha.

She moved to Utah and did high school there. Knew her in middle school and still recognize her? Be honest.

@@mellownessuperstar2618 it's not that unbelievable. People are recognisable

At best

Agree

Honestly that's usually true

False

I say it before things I'm ashamed of and embarrassed to admit.

Dope users have to want to stop. Unfortunately, they never want to stop. They truly believe no one can tell they’re high. Hopeless cause.

@@BostonBorn That's totally not true and very ignorant. I am in recovery 7 years and believe me I had my ass kicked out there and when I was ready to stop I stopped and stayed stopped. You're correct about one thing, an addict will not stop using until they are ready, that's the way it works in addiction. However, nobody is a "lost cause" until they take their last breath. I've seen people a thousand times worse than her and then have seen them years later, totally sober and clean, living a normal lifestyle and speaking in a manner that does not sound like a schizophrenic lunatic like before. Their personality has changed, it is truly a miracle when you see it in person. I don't think I had a big personality change, I've always been who I am however when an addict is ready to quit, in my experience they are so disgusted by it like I was that they just can't go back, it's just not possible in our minds so that's where the drug works on you is in your mind and your mind is a powerful tool, thank God or I wouldn't be here today.

Age 6? She’s clearly intelligent. You give 6 year olds a lot of credit

Unfortunately…she wont.

I think you don't realize how sexist, jugdmental and plain wrong that saying is. Why should sex not affect a man's feelings? Both men and women can have either more emotional or physical experiences. The stereotypes that you are perpetuating are part of the problem.

@@iguanaco21 I think you don’t realize how unasked for your opinion is. They didn’t say they agreed with the quote. They just said the lady reminded them of the quote and hopes the person will see their comment. Fuckin keyboard warriors I swear…

I'm a woman and have sought men in the past solely for sex. I knew I wasn't ready to put up with a man's demands, but wanted to release pent up sexual energy. Maybe for most women it's like that, but I genuinely am able to separate my body and feelings. I'd probably do well in this line of work because of that, but I love my boyfriend and am not interested in this lifestyle because I am a family person.

Yaaaaaas, people get families, work and move on. I have alot of friendly acquaintances but very rare I hang with school friends cause I'm 42. Not that I don't have friends I just seeing them ain't my first priority.

i dont think i ever had friends that were more than acquaintances or fairweather i dont think i ever met anyone who could even qualify, honestly, and i met a bunch of people its not like i was isolated all my life besides family members (if you're lucky) i don't believe people can truly care for each other, as in wouldn't stab you in the back for like few thousand bucks at most, im not trying to be dramatic its more like depressive realism

I lost a friend to drugs and alcohol about 2 years ago he too was adopted her parents gave her everything best schools elocution and deportment classes didn't know she was shooting Dope by she was 14 years old.

There is no "lack of gratitude" on my end and I'm a drug addict whose parents did EVERYTHING in their power to make sure I didn't end up a junkie

This is a very judgmental comment on a woman who didn't say anything bad about her adopted parents and said they did their best. She doesn't seem to lack gratitude for them. It's rough for them, but they aren't living the life of a prostitute in denial. You don't adopt a kid and think, "they better be grateful when they grow up."

There is science coming out on this. Very interesting!!

Yes, everything the mother does affect the baby. Environment, food, stress level and even harmful chemicals. It starts from the womb really…

This comment made so much sense to me.
