Known worldwide as "Ms. Millionaire Mind$et", Dr. Hoskie is a real estate investor, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and community activist. Her many accolades and accomplishments include numerous awards from hometown organizations such as New Haven, Connecticut's Chamber of Commerce, African American Affairs Commission, the New Haven Register, and many others. She has also been the subject of numerous news segments both locally, nationally, and even internationally. Dr. Roberta has also hosted radio programs to teach others how to break what she's dubbed the "Poverty Curse" and the mindset that holds too many from reaching their full potential. It isn't a struggle she studied in Sociology 101 but lived like millions of others.
Poverty Curse Broken details Dr. Hoskie's journey from bullets whizzing through her project window while her son slept, to working up to a 6-figure salary, to becoming independently wealthy through real estate investment.
In the book, she recalls standing in church holding her son in the prayer line her mother encouraged her to jump in, and remembers the pastor pointing to her young son saying: "Look at your son. His life is directly linked to yours... directly linked to what you do." He laid hands on her and she passed out. That was one of several turning points in her life discussed in the deeply personal memoir.
It was enough to make this single mother on welfare who dropped out of high school ask: 'What is MY life?' She looked at her condition and recognized she was surrounded by generational poverty and questioned what his future would be. She thought about the statistics surrounding black men, her son's father's drug dealing, being a high school dropout, and having 22 family members in the same housing projects. "What do I have to offer this kid?" Hoskie asked herself.
She changed her mindset to think about what future she wanted for her son & family. "It's a matter of believing that it's possible. The minute you believe it's possible and don't give yourself a Plan B, then only A can happen. My plan A was that my son will not have generational poverty, be a drug dealer, or be lost to these streets," she explained. Hoskie focused her energies and worked hard to break the curse of poverty and the mindset that enabled it. The road ahead wasn't going to be easy; but for Hoskie, the road behind lead nowhere.
Exposing her traumas and her impoverished beginnings was as deeply personal as it gets. Talking about physical and sexual abuse, being poor, uneducated, and a teen mother & dropout wasn't easy. Her tears stained the pages of her notes recalling the many struggles she had experienced in her young life. But while she was the subject of numerous stories in print, television, radio, and podcasts, she felt HER story had yet to really be told. So five years ago she began writing companion journal entries to accompany her 21-day Ms. Millionaire Mind$et cards. Initially avoiding the prospect of sharing the deeply personal pain of her experiences, she found she couldn't help but interject her own life experiences.
At times, the writing process stagnated - even for a woman who teaches others that procrastination is the enemy of progress. "I was beating myself up for procrastination," she recalled, "My son said: 'Mom, maybe the part that you need in the book hasn't happened, yet..." Then Hoskie's Facebook Live post, meant to show that there are good, honest people, went viral. She'd lost a $10,000 check getting out of her car. A man named Elmer Alvarez found the check and called her office to return it. What Hoskie didn't know was that Alvarez was homeless. Posting the meeting on Facebook took a local story internationally and would change both of their lives. And despite this chance happening, Roberta does not actually believe in chance or coincidence in favor of divine intervention - that things happen when they happen for a reason. Submitting to a higher power and putting oneself in position for those blessings is key.
Helping the homeless Good Samaritan, Alvarez was relatively easy for Roberta. Elmer Alvarez now has a home, car, attends church regularly, and is on a path to becoming a pastor. However, it showed her the potential to change someone else's life in a really substantial way. And with that, it became the thing that her book needed. She went back through her emotional journey of drudging up the past, as painful as it was, Hoskie knew it would help someone
Newly inspired, she returned to writing - sometimes typing on tear-stained keys. But her desire to share her story took over despite the pain of digging up the past and potentially angering family members. "I can't be selfish... That's why I was very transparent. There are plenty of people that have been in abusive situations, and couldn't come out, or let the past haunt them...The things I put out there are the things your momma tells you never to discuss in public," Hoskie explained, referring to a chapter in the book called "Shush, Don't Tell Nobody."
Yes, it gets that real.
And while some may look at this book as the culmination of the journey, Dr. Hoskie sees much more down the road and a part of a larger process to help people become the best versions of themselves - finding their own personal success and freedom from the curse gripping millions around the country and world.
