Speaker 3: noticing about myself, and I know I did a lot

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,720

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: favorite episode from this season was actually that I'm a Christian.

82
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 5: That was two episodes and I really enjoyed the episode

83
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 5: because I'm also on a journey in my Christianity. I

84
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: didn't grow up in the church and so for the

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 5: last two years joining a church now still navigating this

86
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 5: journey that I'm on on learning old habits such as

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 5: no dibbing, and down, went into astrology and you know,

88
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 5: different things that are not biblical as well as just

89
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 5: really just trying to figure my way out. So listening

90
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 5: to the Professional Homegirl, who you know, she's a Christian

91
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: and she talks about her journey, I really enjoyed it.

92
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 5: I really could relate to it, and I learned a lot.

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 5: So I have a plenty of episodes, but that was

94
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: just really the one that really like this season that

95
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: I actually like went back and looked at, listened to

96
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 5: and listened to, and I actually found a journal that

97
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: I wrote down a little bit of notesing. So I

98
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 5: love the podcast. Ebaney, I love you. I'm so grateful

Speaker 3: supporting me and supporting the Professional Homegirl brand. A few

105
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: things I want to touch on. So when it comes

106
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: to live shows, yes, I am so looking forward to

107
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: doing my first ever live show. I don't know when

108
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: it's going to be, but I do have plans on

109
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: doing it very soon. But recently, I went to go

110
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: see formally Horrible Decisions. Now they are rebranded to Decisions Decisions.

111
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: I went to their show sold out in Sony Hall

112
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: and it was I was with the network family and

113
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: it was just so inspiring, Like I remember watching them

114
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: when they first started to just sold to see where

115
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: they at now was just truly an inspiration. And as

116
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: I was looking around, one of my directors she I

117
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: guess she must have felt what I was thinking, or

118
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: she knew what I was thinking. She was like, this

119
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 3: is going to be you, like you know and due time.

120
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: So I'm super excited to like really connect with you

121
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: all and like really bring the professional Homegirl to a

122
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: city near you. And then also when it comes to

123
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: the Christian episode, I really enjoyed that episode too. Remind y'all,

124
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: we did an episode like well it was twelve o'clock

125
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: my time, nine o'clock her time, but it was.

126
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: Such a great episode.

127
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: But it was doing that episode I got a little

128
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: emotional or a little choked up because I spoke about

129
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: where I was at with spirituality and I want to

130
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: share a little behind the scenes with you all on

131
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: that part. So the girl who was on the show,

132
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: my guest who was speaking about her journey with being

133
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: a Christian. Let's say her name is Stacy, right, So

134
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: when I first met her at this retreat in Seattle,

135
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: she was pretty much like we was having a back

136
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: and forth banter about like religion, Christianity and things.

137
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: Of that nature.

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: And I don't know, she kind of like sparked the

139
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: interest in me when it comes to like reading my

140
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: Bible more because one of my prayers is like I

141
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: really want to get into reading the Bible so I

142
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: can be one of those niggas that can like spit

143
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: the Bible. But like you know, stay how we talk

144
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: like you know, things of that nature, but I really

145
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: want to know the Word. And one of the things

146
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: that she was telling me was about like how you

147
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: know crystals and turk call cars and psychis and all

148
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: this other stuff is not of God.

149
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: Right.

150
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: So while Stacey was telling me this, you know, we

151
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: eventually grew a relationship and like we just kept in contact.

152
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: Canst the reason why she was on the show? So AnyWho,

153
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: So y'all know, I get like a thousand emails all

154
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: the time. Every day I'm getting emails and I try

155
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: my best to respond to every single email, and a

156
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: lot of times the emails are you want to know

157
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: who this person is, you want to buy this person book. Also,

Speaker 3: homegirl community.

164
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: Right.

165
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: Well, one day I had received this email from this girl, y'all,

166
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 3: and she was telling me how like she feel like

167
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: her and her kids are possessed it.

168
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: It was a crazy email.

169
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: And one thing about me, I feel like like I

170
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 3: know when God is talking to me or I just

171
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: I can hear him clearly. And y'all, would you believe

172
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: that her name was Stacy too? And when I tell

173
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: y'all that shit scared me straight. I was like, oh no, no, no, no,

174
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: I did not respond. I prayed over her, you know.

175
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 3: I ask some people that I know that like you

176
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: can really get a phone call to God to pray

177
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: over her, and I don't know. It's just really just

178
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: like rubbed me the wrong way. So that is one

179
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: of the reasons why I kind of like took a

180
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: step back and just like chilled out when it came to.

181
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: You know, tearor cars and things of that nature. And

182
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: I've been very honest.

183
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: I had a conversation with one of my Professional Homegirls

184
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: because some of y'all got my number, and I was

185
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: just telling her where I was at because I never

186
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: want to steer y'all in the direction and not be

187
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: honest with you about how I feel about what you're

188
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: asking me.

189
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, but that was a really good conversation. I

190
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: really enjoyed her. You know, maybe I have her back on.

191
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: I know her mom is supposed to come on because

192
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: her mom has such a crazy story, and you know.

193
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: It was a good conversation. I'm really looking forward to it.

194
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: So Whitney, thank you so much for supporting. And yes, y'all,

195
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: we are going to do some live shows. Hopefully next

196
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: year we would.

197
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: Do some more pop ups.

198
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: I am working on a third Professional Homegirl coloring book,

199
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: so I want to do some events at our local

200
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: bookstores and like just be.

201
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 2: Outside child all right, next caller.

202
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 6: My favorite thing about the Professional Homegirl podcast is it

203
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 6: consists of women that look like me, sound like me.

204
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 6: We all have different backgrounds, we come from different walks

205
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 6: of life, but I've been able to resonate with their

206
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 6: stories in some way, shape, form or fashion. I also

207
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 6: love the fact that through this platform, I have been

208
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: able to foster a real sense of community. So it's

209
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 6: more than just it's more than just a podcast that

210
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 6: I listen to. I've actually been able to foster and

211
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 6: find community here and connect with some like minded people.

212
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 6: My question is what has been your favorite episode that

213
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 6: you've done this year? And then secondly, for the business

214
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 6: girlies like myself, you are always giving us consistent content,

215
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 6: but you're always launching something new. So like this year

216
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 6: we got phg Unlocked, we got The Man series, which

217
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 6: I truly enjoyed. How are you able to constantly launch

218
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 6: these new things, but yet you're so consistent. There isn't

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 6: any gaps where you disappear for extended periods of time.

220
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 6: So how are you able to be consistent with the

221
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 6: content that you're giving us? Because I also know that

222
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 6: there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes outside

223
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 6: of just what we hear.

224
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: Oh thank you Mama.

225
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: So the community that she's referring to guys is I

226
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: have a group chat on Instagram, so it is an

227
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 3: invite only, you will be screened, but if you are

228
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: interested in joining the group chat, it's so many amazing

229
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: women in the group chat. Just send me an email

Speaker 2: Definitely, one of.

232
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: The goals for next year is to also create a

233
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: group chat members only on Facebook because there are are

234
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: so many professional homegirls out there, and you know, I

235
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: think that it is time for all of us to

236
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: continue to connect. Now, the first question, what has been

237
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: my favorite episode this year?

238
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.

239
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: I feel like I hit the I came out the

240
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: game swinging. Okay, I feel like this season was so good.

241
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: Like the first season, I really learned a lot because

242
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: that's when I started my partnership with Black Effect Podcast Network.

243
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: But this season, I feel like I did really good.

244
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: So I'm going through my episodes now. I really enjoyed

245
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: the conversation about I denounced my sorority. I loved the

246
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: Academy Therapy episode. Oh my god, that was such a

247
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: beautiful episode about just navigating grief. That was so amazing.

248
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: Everyone loved the I regret having children because you know,

249
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: motherhood is not easy. I know the kids are pretty

250
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: and the kids are beautiful and all, but motherhood.

251
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: Is a lot.

252
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: So I love how transparent and how honest she was

253
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: about her journey with it.

254
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: Love love, love the Men's series.

255
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 3: I've been wanting to do the Men's series for so long,

256
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: and you know, I feel like when I talk to

257
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: men like the niggas, bring out the nigga and me.

258
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: So I really enjoyed, really really enjoyed the Men's Series.

259
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: I'm trying to see what has been my favorite.

260
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: Episode this year. I'm going through my catalog.

261
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 7: Now.

262
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: It's y'all, the fact that I'm almost at three hundred episodes,

263
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: like sometimes i'd be Sometimes I go through episodes, I'm like, damn,

264
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: I forgot to have a conversation about that. But oh

265
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 3: my god, I really enjoyed phg Unlock. I'm the godfather

266
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: of urban fiction. That was with Omar Tyree. He was

267
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 3: the author of fly Girl, and I don't know about y'all,

268
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 3: but I remember reading like Flygirl, the Coldest Winter Ever,

269
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: all those like hood books.

270
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: And like amazing. So that was really amazing. I don't know,

271
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: I really, y'all. I really love my show.

272
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: But I really enjoyed the episode I did with for

273
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: the spooky series. I think that might be my favorite,

274
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 3: My journey with my grandfather's ghost navigating racism and forgiveness.

275
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: And I was so nervous because like this person, he

276
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: is a world renowned seeing a journalist, and oh my god,

277
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: his book was just so amazing, y'all.

278
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: Like it literally had me crying.

279
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: So I really enjoyed our conversation and if you are

280
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: interested in his book, let me know. But it was

281
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: really good, like and it also inspired me to look

282
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: into my own family history because I do have hopes

283
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: of one day writing my memoir, but I do know

284
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: that I'm gonna have to, you know, have conversations with

285
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: my parents and my family and my loved ones and

286
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: things of that nature.

287
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: So I think that might be my favorite. Oh no,

288
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm lying.

289
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: I really, I really really love that. I'm a black

290
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: horror film historian. Oh my god, y'all know I love

291
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: my scary shit. Y'all know what's so funny? So Tony Todd,

292
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: who is the who was candy Man who playing Final Destination?

293
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: You know, he recently passed away, God blessed the dead,

294
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: and you know, I hit up one of my directors

295
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: because I really wanted him on the show. So she

296
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: was going back and forth, like just trying to get

297
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: him on the show, and he passed away, and I

298
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: was in natue at the bar, and y'all, I was

299
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: so sad, and they was like, what's your sad for?

300
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh my God, Like Tony Tao I

301
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: passed away, and I was really actively like trying to

302
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: get him on the show. So rest in peace of

303
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: the to a legend because my guy, like I really

304
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: really wanted him on the show. I have been a

305
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 3: fan of him since forever. So yeah, I think that

306
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: season was fire. I think I did my thing. Okay,

307
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: the second question is you asked me, was how do

308
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: I stay consistent? You know, we have launched the Men series,

309
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: we bought back Spooky Series. Spooky Series started last year,

310
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: and now we have phg Unlock, which I absolutely absolutely love,

311
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: and I just think for mens, consistency has always been

312
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: the name of the game for me, you know what

313
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And I don't know if y'all have real

314
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: this or not, but I love love to create. Like

315
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: creating is like one of my favorite things to do.

316
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: It really makes me excited. It's exhausting, but I really,

317
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: really enjoyed it. So I don't know, I don't know

318
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: how I stay consistent, Like I just love to.

319
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: I have things in my head.

320
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: I feel like God has given me a vision of

321
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: certain things, and like, you know, I just work towards

322
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: it like I get it done so and.

323
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: Also my bills help me keep consistent.

324
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I just say that. You know, if you're

325
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: struggling with being consistent, you know, just find systems, find

326
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: ways to like help you stay on track.

327
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: It is not easy.

328
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: Being consistent can feel like another job, but it's definitely

329
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: worth that. Being consistent has landed me in so many

330
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: different rooms, provided me with so many different opportunities, and

331
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: you know, just sticking to it. Sticking to it like

332
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: small repetition movements really do create waves, you know what

333
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So I really do hope that you just

334
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: find your hat and you find you groove and you

335
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 3: just stay at it. I've been doing this for almost

336
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: six years. Next year, the Professional Homegirl overall will be six.

337
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: I have a six year road and you know, it's

338
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: not easy, but it.

339
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 2: Was definitely worth itself. And then always just figure out

340
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: new ways to reinvent, to add more to it.

341
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 3: So I think with the new series because we've been

342
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: talking to women from different walks of life for five

343
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: four and a half years, I believe, yeah, four years,

344
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: four and a half years, so to be able to

345
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: add new additions like the men's series, like, oh my god,

346
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 3: like this to hear these men feel comfortable enough to

347
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: speak to me as if I'm one of the homeboys.

348
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: It's like everything. And then the Spooky series, Oh my god, Taylor,

349
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 3: Taylor did his fucking thing with these sound effects. Okay,

350
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 3: Like the Spooky series this year was so fire. And

351
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: it's always a struggle for me to find stories when

352
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: it comes to the Spooky series because you know, a

353
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: lot of times people are not comfortable, especially Black people

354
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: are not comfortable with talking about scary shit because they

355
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: feel like nobody's gonna believe them. But this Spooky series

356
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: hands down fire. And again with the PSHG unlocked serious,

357
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: like I'm really about to start getting into my bag

358
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: of like interviewing some of the people that we grew

359
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: up with, also interviewing people that you know that we

360
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: just like, we just admire, like we have a real

361
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 3: profound respect. I've been working on a few people and

362
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: I hope that it goes through because.

363
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 2: Next year, phg unlock serious is gonna be fire.

364
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 3: But I would just say, like, just whatever you have

365
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: to do to fuel your creativity, to help you be consistent,

366
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 3: just do what you have to do. I think for me,

367
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: especially when me feeling a little burnt out because it's

368
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: the end of the year, you know, I do things

369
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: like I watch different documentaries, I watch different movies, I

370
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 3: go outside, I talk to different people like just to

371
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 3: keep me inspired.

372
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: And one thing that helps me stay.

373
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: Inspired is just walking being outside, seeing things, feeling things,

374
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: talking to things like you know what I'm saying. So

375
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: whatever it takes, like you have to.

376
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: Stay have to keep your cup full. I hope that helps.

377
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 3: But definitely reach out to me if you have any

378
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,200

503
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 9: five professional Homegirl. I was watching the Andrea Kelly interview

504
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 9: today with Carlos King, and I was wondering if you

505
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 9: could get someone to come up with the step by

506
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 9: step way or plan of how to leave an abusive relationship.

507
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 9: Rather it be physically, mentally, sexually, emotionally, people don't need

508
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 9: to stay in toxic relationships, So if you could get

509
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 9: someone to come up with a step by step plan

510
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 9: on how to leave a toxic relationship, that would be nice.

511
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 9: I'm sure it could help a lot of people, women

512
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 9: and men, but especially as Black women, because we are

513
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 9: the most unprotected human being in America. And that's KKK

514
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 9: in America. How let your girl.

515
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: Child not KKK in America. Child.

516
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 3: But yes, shout out to my six point five professional homegirl,

517
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: and shout out to Nashville. I've been in Nashville a

518
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: lot lately, and I have some things that I am

519
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 3: currently working on. Can't say too much, but I'm super

520
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: excited about what's to come with Nashville. So shout out

521
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 3: to you, baby girl. But yeah, I agree, you know

522
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 3: what's so funny. I was in the process of having

523
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: a therapist on who specializes in domestic abuse, because you know,

524
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: with all the recent news that came out, I think

525
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: it's easy for people to say, well, why didn't this

526
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 3: person leave? This person stay for money? What's the difference

527
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 3: between this and not all this other nonsense. So I

528
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: definitely want to have somebody on that is equipped to

529
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: have this conversation because I don't know everything, and a

530
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: lot of times when I have these conversations, especially with professionals, I'm.

531
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: Learning things too.

532
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: And I also think that the resources are out there

533
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: as far as like a step by step plan or

534
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: a guide on how to leave domestic or situations so

535
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: or physical abuse situations.

536
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: Should I say so, I definitely want to.

537
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: Have somebody who have the tools, who have the resources,

538
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 3: because a lot of you have reached out to me

539
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: asking for advice, and then I'll just share my therapists

540
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: information because you know, a lot of things I may

541
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 3: not have the answers to, but I may know somebody

542
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 3: who can assist you way better than to me just

543
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: telling me like, hey, I think you should do this.

544
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: I think you should do that, because I do know

545
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 3: that it's easier said than done, so I agree six

546
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: one five Professional Homegirl. Definitely, next year, I want to

547
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 3: have somebody on I want to go through certain cases,

548
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 3: and I want to break things down so that everybody

549
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: can understand how the cycle of abuse works. So I

550
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: think that was a great question. I definitely want to

551
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: tap into more professionals next year that work in certain fields.

552
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: And so if y'all do have any more questions about

553
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,360

Speaker 3: point five Professional Homegirl. All right, next caller. This might

559
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 3: be the last caller, by the way, but let's see

560
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: next caller.

561
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 12: Yo, dn you send me the voicemail crazy, probably because

562
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 12: I've been calling every day a thousand times, always inquiring

563
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 12: about some PHG shit. But where I got a question

564
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 12: for you? What inspires you to keep going with this

565
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 12: PHG shit? And also where we're gonna get a professional homeboy?

566
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 2: Feel me child? Not with this PHG shit? No, what

567
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: inspired me to keep going.

568
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: Honestly, y'all, I really really really believe in the Professional Homegirl.

569
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: Like I feel like I said this before, but you know,

570
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: at first I created the Professional Homegirl for you all

571
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 3: and then come to find out I needed it the most.

572
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: So I'm just so thankful for the vision that God

573
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: gave me when it comes to the Professional Homegirl. And

574
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: like I said, I just love to create, like the

575
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: fact that you know, she will be six years old

576
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: next year, so she has legs, she's able to walk,

577
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 3: and you know, the goal is to get the Professional

578
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: Homegirl to a point where you know, I might not

579
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: be needed anymore. You know, I can do other things

580
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: and work on other dreams. So the goal is to

581
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 3: make it a household name. And to see where I started.

582
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: If you listen to my first calalog, my old catalogue,

583
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: the PHG rewind episodes, you know the audio wasn't the best.

584
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: I was just like.

585
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: Trying to figure shit out, and the PHG has definitely

586
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: came a long way, okay, And you know what's so fun,

587
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about the question that the other person asks

588
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: and she was just pretty much just asking me about consistency,

589
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: and I don't know, I don't know if this has

590
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: anything to do with it. But one of my favorite

591
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: Bible stories that I always tell college students is, you know,

592
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: sometimes you just have to wing it, like you have

593
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: to figure it out. And one example I use from

594
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: the Bible is Noah, no, I ain't know nothing about

595
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: building this damn arc you know what I'm saying. And

596
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: you know, even though he was told by God to

597
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: do it, he ain't know what he was needed, He

598
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: ain't know anything. Like he just took his he just

599
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 3: figured it out. He followed the instructions and he just like,

600
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: you know what Big Man told me to do it,

601
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. And I say all that to

602
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: say that sometimes even if you don't know what's ahead,

603
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: you just have to keep going because I do believe

604
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: that God is not gonna put something on your heart

605
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: for him not to see it through. And also one

606
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 3: of my favorite things that I love saying and sharing

607
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: people is I had a conversation with an ordained minister

608
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 3: and this was on the episode This was on the show.

609
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: This was actually one of my favorite episodes as well,

610
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 3: and she was telling me how if you already have

611
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: a goal and you can actually see it, that means

612
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: it's already done. So your future self is telling your

613
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: current self to come on and hurt and catch up

614
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 3: so you can be in the alignment well your goals.

615
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: And I just thought that was just so impactful because

616
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: we see these things in our head and sometimes, you know,

617
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 3: you try to share people with your goals, your visions,

618
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: but you know you can't ask the blind and proof

619
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: read your vision. You know what I'm saying. Only you

620
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 3: You have that vision for a reason. But if you

621
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: constantly keep seeing it, that's just a reminder to let

622
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: you know that it's done. Just keep going.

623
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: What are you're trussing not about?

624
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 3: And even I have to tell myself that when it

625
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: comes to my goals and stuff, because I can see

626
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: things so vividly, like when I tell y'all, I knew

627
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: I was going to be in this partnership, like, oh,

628
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: I knew all the things that was going to happen.

629
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: Like even one of my goals this year was I

630
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: wanted to moderate. I want to get into my martitraring back.

631
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: So so far I had two mortyrting gigs. One was

632
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 3: with the thrills of possibility of partnership between our Heart

633
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: Radio Black Effect and Nissan. And also I did another

634
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 3: Martterring gig, and like, it's just like you when you

635
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: say things that means it's already done. It's just your

636
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: future self. It's like, all right, girl, come on, come on,

637
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: come on. So it's constantly sending your reminders. So that

638
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: is one of the reasons why I keep going, because

639
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 3: I'm constantly getting these down loads and I'm constantly seeing

640
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: things that's already happening for me. So that is the

641
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: reason why I'm always constantly inspired by the Professional Homegirl

642
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: and just want.

643
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: To just keep going.

644
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: You know, I do see really big things happening for

645
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: the Professional Homegirl, especially before we hit ten years old,

646
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: and so I just can't wait for you all to see.

647
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: And then the second question was about when is Professional

648
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 3: Homeboy coming. Clearly he doesn't listen to the show because

649
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 3: Professional Homeboys is already here aka Men Series. Okay, so

650

Speaker 3: definitely make sure you support and listen on Men's Series.
