<v Speaker 3>Later on Yes, Well reveal.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, every week Stakes we talk about what we love

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 2>about home. So every episode we share something that we

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>love about home. Whatever home is to you, whatever that

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>means to you, whether it's where you currently live, where

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 2>you were born, where you fuck Pappa two, where you

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 2>feel grounded, what do you What is home to you?

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>And what do you love about it. We'll start us off,

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 2>maz do you want to go?

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what I love about home this week is the gym. Yeah,

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 4>getting those games, girls, I truly be getting them games.

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 4>And it took a little bit of motivating myself, but

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 4>I started this gym journey I think in June, so

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 4>it was the twelfth of June. It's the seventeenth of September.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, I'm looking good and feeling good. It's not

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 4>about the numbers. It's about how I look at myself

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 4>in the mirror and how I feel looking at myself,

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, it just feels good.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 2>You are getting those golds though, I do.

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 4>Be getting the gold medals, so yeah, it's just that

0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 4>you need to reach like a p XI.

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 3>What is peaks?

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Is it your peak hat right. No, it's like.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 4>A mix of heart rate and calories burnt and yeah,

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 4>and it depends on your height and your weight, so

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 4>it's tailored to you. Although it's about regulating your heartbeat.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 4>So you don't want to overwork yourself, otherwise you won't

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.280
<v Speaker 4>get that gold medal. Don't want to underwork yourself, you

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 4>won't get that gold medal. He kind of needs a

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 4>balance it.

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.799
<v Speaker 3>And he really wants a gold middle too. Yeah.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I haven't even seen freaking around, but I got that

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 2>by the look of.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you love about home this week? Girl?

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's my mom. I talk about my mom

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 2>all the time, but I recently went through a bit

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>of a period of heartbreak. When am I not going

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>through a heartbreak? Let's be real. But she saw me

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 2>in the sky out at an event. I didn't introduce

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 2>them because I wasn't at that stage yet, and she

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 2>just when he left, she pulled me over and was like, yeah,

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 2>you guys don't really match. And it felt like from

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 2>that moment everything kind of just went downhill. My mom

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>just knows.

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>My mom was No.

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Here is a mom telling you that you can see chemistry.

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>You can see and I am always checking myself, going,

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, what is the right response? Who do I

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 3>want to be? I mean, this is what I see.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Do I comment on that or do I not? It's

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 3>so interesting and I can't talk to my mom anymore

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 3>to say, oh, okay, I get it, I get why

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 3>you did that. It was kind of annoying at the time,

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, yeah, now I feel it. So that's beautiful.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Though.

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 3>My mum really knows you.

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we are so open and we're so close. And

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 2>at the time it did sting. I was like, you

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know him like I do.

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, are you doing well? Not to not to just

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 3>be stubborn.

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I think the time I was like, oh, okay, I'll

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 2>just keep that in my back pocket and we'll just

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 2>see what happens. Knowing in the back of my mind

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 2>my mom is always right so and she has helped

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>me heal every single heartbreak ever have you ever had,

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>as well as Mas and all my other amazing friends.

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 2>But my mum is just such a safe space.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>The girl's got to you.

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, that's beautiful.

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean yeah, In terms of how I was thinking

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 3>about talking to you guys and Island roots, Auckland ways

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 3>and talking about hawaiki, you know, the home for all

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 3>of us, So hawaiki Savai Hawaii. And my husband Scotty

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 3>did a series called Origins, two series of it and

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 3>about finding hawaiki. And I'm always so grateful that he

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 3>thought to name our eldest child hawaiki. And I noticed

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 3>that a lot of people are calling their hawaike these days.

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 3>So hawaiki is also an attitude, and it's a feeling

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 3>of home. And there was always quite a few from

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 3>when we left the first hawaiki. There was always going

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 3>to be more hawaikei to come for all of us.

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 3>So we build our own hawaiki. That was part of

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 3>the kind of series. But like Scotty went all the

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 3>way to Ethiopia to South America, he looked at our

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 3>journe are really intentional journeys. That's what I loved about.

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 3>It was a real reclamation of our ability to voyage,

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 3>our intention to voyage, not that we just, oh, they

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 3>accidentally landed in Hawaii, though we knew these things. So

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess that reclamation of the connections between all of

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 3>us as Pacific Islanders, as Polynesians, as all coming from

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 3>a hawaiki. And then how you build a hawaiki so

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 3>you know your mum is you're hawaiki. You know, it's

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 3>so beautiful, you know, like that literally the place that

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 3>sustains you and is your origin. But I was talking

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 3>to as someone brother the other day and he's saying

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 3>he was at two dung awai Wi during the King's

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 3>tonguey and he said, I've just understood more about how

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 3>engaging with tongue at the Fenoa doesn't diminish my tongue

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 3>at the Juana, it actually strengthens it and the bonds

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 3>between us, which I thought was such a cool way

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:55.559
<v Speaker 3>to look at it.

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we are food believable.

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I wor bilingual hub. So it's very taw Maudi

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 2>centered space. And for me, I always say, like I've

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 2>never felt in other spaces like Tel Pakia spaces. I

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 2>feel like sometimes I have to give up aspects of

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>my this, you know, like who I am as someone

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>who comes from the sight, very strong someone background. But

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't even have to give up but any aspect

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 2>of the idency or who you are. And that's why

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I think relationship between that andone is so important because

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 2>in our world I don't have to give up any

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 2>aspect of our idency or who we are. We can

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.560
<v Speaker 2>show up completely as ourselves and own that space with

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 2>our ancestors standing behind us or with us as well, and.

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 3>Then also layering and then layering who we are. And

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 3>then you know, once you voyage in a part of

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 3>then that's that's your story again. And you know there

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.679
<v Speaker 3>are bits where we're intercend and we can relate to

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 3>each other and but for our stories are different. But

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 3>you know there are times where we get lumped together.

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 3>We don't want to like an house statistic.

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Yes, brown Bill, thank you for sharing what you love

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 4>about home stay. So you do so much, so many

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 4>incredible things. But let's talk about broadcasting. So why was

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 4>it broadcasting for you?

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.319
<v Speaker 3>I didn't mean to. So first of all, I went

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 3>to Japan as a stage student. My last year, year

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 3>thirteen in the olden days was called seventh form, and

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 3>so that's what I did. And then when I came back,

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, you have this mind blowing experience. I was

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 3>not ready to focus on university. So I got into

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>the UNI of Canterbury B. But I can't do it

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 3>because I've just had my whole mind blowing away. And

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.959
<v Speaker 3>so I went but I better do something. And it

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 3>wasn't that anyone was pushing me or saying you have

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to do that, but that was I guess a drive

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 3>in me. I have to have a job. So I

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 3>got a job and TV and I had to move

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 3>to Dunedin from christ Church and so from there it

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 3>was always like the next thing that would work or

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 3>made sense. And so then it's funny you look at

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 3>someone's career and go, oh, you must have intended to

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 3>do this and that Some people maybe do plan like that,

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 3>but no, I was just going with what was working.

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 3>And so I ended up in television in Auckland and

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 3>then I interviewed Rob Darkdere on my family. They said, oh,

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 3>actually we need a news reader. Do you want to

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 3>come and do this? I was not very good at it,

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 3>and then I learned as I went along, and then

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 3>came across to Flavor in two thousand and four. You know,

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:50.439
<v Speaker 3>so it is surprising to me too that I'm here.

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 3>But it's always looking at what will work for me,

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 3>what feels like the right thing to do. And I

0:11:58.360 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 3>still say to my kids, you know, look for the torho,

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 3>look for the signs that you're in the right place.

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 3>And they could be tiny or you could just feel

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 3>it and yeah, go with that. So that's how I

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 3>ended up here for a surprising amount of time.

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>What was it like being on what Now back in

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the day?

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 3>It was so first of all, I was at high school, yes,

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 3>while I was doing it, so that was pretty weird,

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Like people had an after school job like McDonald's. We

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 3>go into the station with Carlos because they had seen

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 3>us and they got us to do it. So it's

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 3>a little bit I guess privileged and unusual, but then

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 3>you quickly learn the flip side of that. There's really

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 3>good things. And then when people do know who you are,

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 3>then there's other things you got to think about as well.

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, it was a great job. I was always

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 3>really mindful of, oh, this is an easy way to

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 3>do my job, you know, get money for one thing.

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 3>So that was one of the drivers. And they were

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 3>really kind people and what Now, So that was easy.

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 4>To make ends meet. I want to talk about your

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 4>upbringing in christ Church because I hear a lot of

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 4>things about particularly for brown people. How was that for you?

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, I come from down there. I'm laitha who not

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 3>that that was something I really knew. I knew about

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 3>Little River Way to work, you know, not so much

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 3>Nataho for some reason until later in my life. And

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.599
<v Speaker 3>so my dad, he doesn't mind me saying this. He

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 3>used to proudly call himself the white sheep of the family.

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:37.079
<v Speaker 3>Oh so not the black sheep once he got into

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 3>broadcasting because the way he spoke was trained. And that

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 3>was when I was five years old. And so we

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.960
<v Speaker 3>had to move to Timaru when I was five, and

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 3>then Blenham and then back to christ Church and so

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 3>we lived on the east side of christ Church and

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 3>that is, yeah, that's kind of typical unless we're at Hornby,

0:13:55.360 --> 0:14:00.079
<v Speaker 3>where a Nica Moore grew up. So I mean I

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 3>loved it. I I'm glad I went to the school

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 3>I went to, I don't know how school, which doesn't

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 3>exist anymore. But yeah, as for that sort of casual racism,

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 3>it was, you know, just so expected. And I think

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 3>about some of the people I went to school with

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 3>and of course still friends with them on Facebook, and

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 3>you see that people are finding their own ways of being.

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 3>You either fit in or you don't, or you change

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 3>it later. So I guess for me that was something

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 3>that I realized I wanted to work on more was

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 3>understanding my Maldi self, like not feeling like, okay, I'll

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 3>be the you know, good Mardi who can you know,

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, fit in you know that kind of thing

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 3>or be considered you know, palatable successful whatever. Yeah. So

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 3>as a really I mean, I'm glad for having that experience,

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and I go home quite a lot. My dad still

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 3>lives there, you know, and I'm later who hearty, and

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm really grateful I could go back home and learn

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 3>my dell so later who really have helped me do that?

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 3>And it's really important that people know that that's what

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Lata Who's been able to do with their resource because

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 3>their post settlement, because they have, you know, with the

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 3>resource that came with the treaty sediment, which was tiny

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 3>compared to what was lost, then they were able to

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 3>build wealth, and part of that wealth, it was only

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 3>meaningful if there was cultural wealth in terms of Tedeo

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 3>and Tikung as well.

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I think people look at you as such a pillar

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>within your community state, but knowing that you didn't necessarily

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 2>grow up super strong within your Mardi tongue is actually

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 2>also really inspiring because I know for us as well

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 2>feeling at different points in our life quite disconnected from

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>our culture. What has learned reconnecting or rediscovering how Mardi

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>meant to you?

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess their choice is their lifestyle. Tryis

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 3>that's the things that does this feel like. I guess

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 3>the modia is with your like the good positive energies

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 3>with you. I felt like, I guess if you can

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 3>describe it as ancestral whispers, yeah, that you're that are

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 3>calling you to a place. I think that's why quite

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 3>so much during them one a movie, it's like this

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 3>is an animation when she's on them, like oh, and

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 3>it's answering that and going okay. So I really adored

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 3>my mum and it sounds like I had a similar

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 3>relationship with her that you have. And she was park out,

0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 3>but she was really encouraging of us feeling good about

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 3>being Maldi. So that being connected and changing everything that

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 3>I knew and my childhood has been eye opening for me.

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 3>But it just feels healing and so.

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, this is something that and I talk about

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 2>a lot. My mum is also pak Ya, so that

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>makes a lot of that she doesn't always understand, but

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>she knows it's good. For me, So I think that's

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 2>really important.

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Did you have the thing as well? Like people wouldn't

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 3>realize that our mum was our mom. Oh no.

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.159
<v Speaker 2>When I was younger, I was also a lot like

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 2>darker than I am now. So we'd be walking around

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.199
<v Speaker 2>the warehouse. I'm pretty sure people were wondering what she

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.400
<v Speaker 2>was doing.

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because my mum was under seventeen when she had me,

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 3>so they did. They thought she was a nanny. And

0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 3>even once she was working as a sales rep, like

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 3>she knew the store detective and he see to who

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 3>goes be careful these couple of marrikets around the corner,

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 3>as if we're going to steal something, She says, yeah, they're.

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 1>My children, Oh my god.

0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 3>But also like the super protective as well, Like my

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.919
<v Speaker 3>dad would just be like, you know, like it's just

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 3>brushing off the tenth casual, casually racist thing you'd heard

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 3>that day, and so it's not going into bed or not.

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Like my mom, she's like, it's so angry.

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you're not.

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Talking about my child? Yeah good, Yeah, I reckon, But yeah,

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 3>how it feels is it just feels right?

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you spoke to that healing, which is something that

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 2>we feel like we've experienced a sense of like healing

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.719
<v Speaker 2>of like in a child, or healing of it just

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>like it makes you a fuller, holer person. But also

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.199
<v Speaker 2>it's really exciting to look back also at our elders

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.639
<v Speaker 2>who are still with us and see that they experienced

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 2>that same racism that your parents or your dad would

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 2>have experienced as well. But our reclamation is also healing

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 2>for them because they see that there's been a new

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.880
<v Speaker 2>way that we can be ourselves, our full selves, our

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>whole selves in this country.

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 3>And that's when I talk about intergenerational healing. I realize

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 3>that it's not just squeerho it's not just from one

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 3>generation down, it's from one generation up as well. So

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 3>that's the inter part of the intergenerational because yes, our

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.959
<v Speaker 3>comatsuura can feel it because they see the change and

0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 3>feel the change. And then I also believe in a

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 3>bigger continuum that our chupuna feel that too. Yeah, Like

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 3>you honor them, yes, and when you speak their names

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 3>and when you know their stories and you keep them

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 3>living in the land and in the one and in

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 3>our places and in our names and in our language.

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 3>So I mean one of the themes this year for

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.360
<v Speaker 3>ma is a forever and I think that's a really

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 3>strong statement, going always have been, always well be akkake,

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.120
<v Speaker 3>And that means if there's you know, a continuous line,

0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 3>then that's that's why Scotty says My husband, Scotty says

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 3>onto cannedy after every show he goes tudoa hawaiiki and

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 3>it means may the ancient homeland of Hawaii forever shine

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.520
<v Speaker 3>on in your mind's eye, and hawaiki can shine on

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.159
<v Speaker 3>when we do those things, when we are our best

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 3>vision of ourselves. My other translation, he gives her that's

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 3>a little bit snappier, is may the force be with you?

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Really interesting because you know here people go too low,

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 3>too low and excuse me.

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, like I'm making way, like please make way,

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm here.

0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Way.

0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Feeling states that you are a big watcher of movies

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:46.880
<v Speaker 4>like I saw you, you know.

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Every quote like Jerry Maguire, You even did like a

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 2>voice for it.

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, girl, wait, is this not normal?

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 3>My sister and I that's what we would doing, like

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 3>put on whole little pantomimes and little shows a lounge

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.600
<v Speaker 3>and then sit down and watch my poor parents in

0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 3>a bar. But yeah, and then a Nicka Moore alleges

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:14.720
<v Speaker 3>that I have a photographic memory, which I was like, no,

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 3>of course I don't, but it's a snapshot memory, like

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 3>I can I remember specifically. If I look at something,

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 3>I remember exactly what it sees, which should have made

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 3>leaning almighty easier, but I don't know that it did

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 3>in some ways but not otherwise.

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I a couple of weekspect we mean to go

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 4>watch Yes, now that's one of the movies.

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I know lines like movies like that nor but my.

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Dear again, you can't make those movies now. But I

0:21:52.560 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 3>love eating movie for that. But there's the thing me

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 3>and my sister, that's what we do too, like just

0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 3>like random movie cs. I think that's how she sort

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.400
<v Speaker 3>of nabbed her husband as well, because he's like, you

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:16.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, like all of raw bit it's like, remember

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:22.359
<v Speaker 3>we didn't have an Internet to watch things over and over.

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 3>But also when they sort of like when you see

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 3>things that you relate to, and in that case it's

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.479
<v Speaker 3>mostly black people, yeah yeah, and you go, oh yeah,

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 3>that's just oh my gosh. And you know when now

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 3>you see content that's more like us and seeing it

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:44.439
<v Speaker 3>kind of being embraced, Like that's so cool. And I

0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 3>love how raw everything apart from iral that everything is

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 3>on social media. It's like make it less flash and

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 3>people will love it more.

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 4>No true videos that we do that are raw and real.

0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 4>I eat Alsa talking about her after.

0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Have to pay?

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, are we out of it?

0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.199
<v Speaker 2>We're out of it? Yeah, yeah, we're out of it.

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I think that's such a trap, though I didn't know it's.

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Such a trap. It's so bad. It's so bad. It's

0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.199
<v Speaker 2>do not get after pay if you.

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Can have it. They do have to pay at the warehouse.

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I think they do after pain everywhere. I've got an

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 2>email the other day. I think they're starting pit a pit.

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh isn't it crazy?

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy?

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.919
<v Speaker 3>But does it make you then anxious to look at

0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:36.919
<v Speaker 3>your emails? Like is that how they get.

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Always anxious to look at my emails? To be honest,

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm I would say I'm quite a good budgeter when

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 2>it comes to like having to pay back after so

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I can budget it well enough that like I can

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>pay it all.

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Off, but you get the things straight away, right, Yeah,

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 3>the initial enjoyment is gone.

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 2>By the time you pay it off, correct, Yeah, it's

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 2>that instant gratification. But to be here. I love clothes

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.440
<v Speaker 2>like that is number one personality trait love clothes, So

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I will never get sick of wearing an outfit.

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but then it's like instant gratification delayed mortification.

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah there, like, oh my god, how much did I spend?

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't like.

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to tell you about something back in the

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:27.240
<v Speaker 3>day lay by or you know, you couldn't take the.

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Thing that's smart, Yeah, that's smart, that saw.

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 3>This, That's what you're supposed to do.

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 2>My mom used to do that with all my Christmas presents.

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:36.679
<v Speaker 2>We'd go shopping and then she'd be like, do you

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.119
<v Speaker 2>like this? And then by the time it was Christmas,

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 2>it was all paid off. But I had forgotten.

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Rang up in the hood, came up, came out, literally.

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Had the lay by counter like a whole stop.

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 3>All your privilege we never got, came out, and Christ

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 3>which for so sorry love to christ Hutch. One of

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:03.160
<v Speaker 3>the other things was that everything always happened in everywhere.

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I hateland. They still call it dockland.

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I have family, a living and crashes. Oh here come

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the Docklanders.

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:14.760
<v Speaker 3>But like I know, but I was always fascinated you know,

0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 3>with like someone people living in that climate. Oh you're hearty.

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:22.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, yeah, real, absolutely, Like I had to wear

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:25.639
<v Speaker 4>the single today like I'm like, I need to feel

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:28.159
<v Speaker 4>like on a tropical islands.

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>When you were at.

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.880
<v Speaker 4>My time, tell us about that, because we talked earlier

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 4>on about how you know, back in the day, there

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:44.360
<v Speaker 4>was no TikTok, and so the only way to see

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 4>yourself was in for example, namely black culture, African American culture, music, fashion.

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:55.639
<v Speaker 4>The list goes on, and my time was a haven

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:57.879
<v Speaker 4>for our people to go to.

0:25:57.920 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Tell us about that.

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so that was ten o'clock on a Saturday morning,

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:03.959
<v Speaker 3>and I think you could record things, but mostly you

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 3>had to sort of watch it on time. And we

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.679
<v Speaker 3>did have criticism that were too Americanized and with what

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 3>we wore and what we said and how they acted.

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 3>And remember this is like when Biggie died, when Chupac died,

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:19.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, and I'm working with people like Bees and

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Mike Haddu who really loved hip hop living. So I

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 3>learned a lot ten and Wan and Raply as well,

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:33.199
<v Speaker 3>you know, just incredible people and musicians key mostly so

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 3>they have that manna in the music world. And then

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 3>I was kind of just the TV person, I guess.

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 3>But it's really interesting to see that that's still meaningful

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:48.120
<v Speaker 3>to people and that people still remember that, and it's like, oh,

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 3>you know something I didn't know. That's what I would

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:55.640
<v Speaker 3>be to people. How they were like still like from

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:59.120
<v Speaker 3>my time or from what now? I'm like, I'm still

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 3>like one of my most they see dash, what is happening?

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember me from that? So it's yeah, it's

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:12.880
<v Speaker 3>really interesting to know that that was. When you're doing

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:16.199
<v Speaker 3>something that's going to endure like that, you don't always know.

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 3>And it was sometimes battling. It didn't always feel big,

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.600
<v Speaker 3>but like we'd get actual letters. People would write actual

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 3>letters yeah yeah, and yeah yeah, like a great big

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 3>they have a great big el trapper he nucky and

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:32.879
<v Speaker 3>fill them up. They were real. None of that was

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.159
<v Speaker 3>a lie because that's what people had to do. And

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:36.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess when you do that, you have a different

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 3>level of engagement and you remember it and remember writing it.

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Also got the brown envelope ones, Okay that's from Wakidia.

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah some.

0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 1>What they're watching.

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wasn't aware of that. Also, I would like

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 3>to call out everyone who ever said to me, oh yeah,

0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:58.719
<v Speaker 3>I used to have a crush on you because I

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 3>have no idea where you were in nineteen ninety four.

0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Nothing was you're old gas because there is no I

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 3>was not overwhelmed with any interest.

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>So that means my time's coming.

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Those boys are liking my story, could just send a

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.119

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Can I just say you are the most beautiful couple

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 4>you and so beautiful?

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah before as well, like what are you?

0:28:58.360 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Wow?

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow, what a packed for you?

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:03.479
<v Speaker 3>What a good year it was? In the end it

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 3>finished well, yeah, so July was flavor earlier of the year.

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 3>My stomach don't want to talk about that. But see,

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 3>you can have not so great time and it turns up.

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, the second half the year amazing. Yeah, I

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 3>was thinking about that. So but also like, I don't

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 3>know if you've ever felt like you when you have

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:29.959
<v Speaker 3>something so overwhelming, and someone so overwhelming coming to your life,

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 3>it's also scary. Yeah, it's like I it's not messed

0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 3>this up?

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Am I worthy?

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:44.400
<v Speaker 1>The question is he worthy to have you?

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 3>But yes, but I could be you know, a sassy

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 3>and say yeah this is you know, like this is

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 3>the bare minimum. But I don't know, I don't know

0:29:56.080 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 3>that's that's actually not who I am. I I'm not

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 3>that person. Even in any relationship, friendship or stuff. I'll

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 3>always be thinking about what, how are you feeling? What

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 3>do you need? What should I anticipate? And I'm not

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:16.480
<v Speaker 3>saying that's always good because it's a little bit of

0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 3>people pleasing, you know.

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a balance.

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but you know like oldest daughters especially can get that,

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 3>or just the eldest or just the the responsible one.

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, you're you're sort of taught to think about

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 3>other people's feelings, accommodate other people's feelings. So yeah, I

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 3>feel very proud that my eldest daughter is not a

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 3>people pleaser. I'm going, wow, this is intriguing. She wow, wow,

<v Speaker 3>I mean I really do love Alicia Keys with my soul,

0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 3>and I believe we will be friends. I mean Beyonce obviously,

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 3>but I try not to be a dick like. I

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I could manage it, But with Alisha,

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 3>I think I don't know somehow I could.

0:33:57.920 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Alicia seems personable.

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, like you can sit down and have a

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:08.000
<v Speaker 4>nice conversation without feeling. I feel like if I were

0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 4>I were to meet Beyonce, I'd be like.

0:34:11.640 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, But then I think like she makes me cry

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 3>with some people, especially through lemonade and everything. Yeah, and

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.040
<v Speaker 3>by the way, so Lange though, yeah, I'm that sister

0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:30.399
<v Speaker 3>too with my legs. How do you think you are?

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 3>But an incredible story? Incredible like why is she so generous?

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:36.839
<v Speaker 3>In how anyway? Alicia Keys and so, I've seen her

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 3>a couple of times, but I remember when she was

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 3>at the what does now the Kanoa Theater and it's

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 3>like her spiritual experience. She's, yeah, that's a dream speaking

0:34:48.600 --> 0:34:51.720
<v Speaker 3>to us. Oh my gosh. Even Kanye when he played

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Saint James, it was better. That was that was good Kanye.

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:54.920
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was pregnant my child, Like that's probably why

0:34:58.440 --> 0:34:59.280
<v Speaker 3>she's not a people pleaser.

0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:07.320

<v Speaker 3>I'm stepping on that. But also I do I do

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 3>feel a need to say, like you're that feeling of

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 3>having heartbreak and of not yet finding your person. I

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 3>felt really lost in it for a long time. So

0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:59.879
<v Speaker 3>as much as I have been with the most overwhelming

0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:06.760
<v Speaker 3>dream man on my dreams for twenty years, that loneliness

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I remember really strongly and it feels like will anyone

0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 3>ever understand my heart? But I have this really strong

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 3>belief that, yes, your people are there and they're not

0:36:18.920 --> 0:36:21.759
<v Speaker 3>far away, but don't be rushing because you all you're

0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:24.799
<v Speaker 3>doing is building more beautiful things for them to enjoy too.

<v Speaker 2>be respectful, I don't want to say anything. Yeah, just

0:36:58.200 --> 0:36:59.919
