<v Speaker 1>that you know reached out and called me or text me,

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I made a lot of new support system

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and community, just you know, through people dming me on

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Instagram and you know all that stuff, just checking in,

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>making sure I was good, making sure Jess was good,

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>making sure you know, we understood that. Like yo, y'all, like, hey,

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>this is a moment for y'all to really show the

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>world with two black women on a major media platform

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>who are going to be faced with, you know, obstacles

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and different things will still come after this, what y'all

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>can do and how y'all can do it. For everybody

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>who reached out sincerely and wasn't trying to get some

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>information for a story or get a quote or just be.

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Messy, I appreciate y'all.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I know that. Just appreciate you guys too, because for

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the first time ever in my life, I wasn't reaching

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>out to break the story. I wasn't detailing the story.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't regurgitating a story. I was a story. Nothing

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>could have prepared me for that more than my relationship

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>with God that I have right now. And I was

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>raised in the church. I've always had a relationship with God.

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>That's you know, my family and all of that, Like.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>That's just how I was raised.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think when you're grown and you established that

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>relationship yourself. It is so different and like a year

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>ago when I decided to like get my apartment in

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.559
<v Speaker 1>New York and I was trying to figure everything out.

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I did was I was like,

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm gonna give my life to God again.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna get emotional.

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a good emotion, though, y'all got me like be

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>simone up her crun on this podcast about God.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.399
<v Speaker 3>Like what is happening right now?

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>But when I did that, though, I knew that it

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>was a conscious decision, and I told myself. I taught

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>myself then that I was like arming myself with everything

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that I was going to need to go to this

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>like next level of things and God. When I tell y'all,

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea everything that was going to happen.

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>And this is not about like the just Instagram live,

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean like everything. I just mean, like, you know,

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>me being blessed with the opportunity to be at like

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I left a job. When you get on television as

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>a personality, you don't take yourself off of TV. I

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>don't care how imperfect that situation is, Babe. You figure

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>it out and you make it work. And for me,

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, being at TMZ and being in LA and

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>La is a number one market or you know, at

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>least I could think things change, numbers change or whatever.

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's at least top five market. And you're

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>on television and you're on prime time, your daytime talk show, and.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>No one really knew who I was.

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, people knew, but like people were it was like, oh,

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the girl from TMZ to leave that and go to

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a platform where like I was able and you guys

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>were able to learn me get to know who I was,

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and you know what I mean. I was just like, man,

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>God is really moving in my life. When I got

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>on the other side of that, and now the conversation

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that's shaking the room is about me. Following jessco on

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Live on Instagram, I was like, oh shit, this is crazy.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>My first reaction was like, what the fuck, Like, what's

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>happening right now?

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 3>Wait? What? And I just knew it was.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Something because people just kept sending me to live, sending

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>me live.

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, either she's on there, because you know,

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like behind the scenes, I knew that like things weren't perfect.

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I knew she wasn't the most happiest person. But I

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>think in my role, I can only speak for myself.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to do as much as I could

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that things worked out well enough where

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>she could at least show up and do her job comfortably.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Some chears warming up in here.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.200

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>real quick. I know we recapping, but I gotta cut

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>in and just let y'all know where my state of

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>mind was within these like throwback episodes. By episode three

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Latest with Lauren La Rosa, I.

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Was literally running on fumes.

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I was not used to this daily regimen of you know,

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the daily podcast, trying to figure out the video, doing

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the audio. I'm up late doing all the edits, doing

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a rundown for the breakfast club stuff. My family start tripping,

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>like my mother, my grandmother, They like, yo, what's going on?

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.119
<v Speaker 1>We ain't hearing from you. Everything was moving so fast.

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Everything was exploding and I'm I mean, I'm grateful to

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 1>God that it did, but oh my god, I couldn't

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about it then because I was like, I don't

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>want to sound like I'm complaining, but even listening to

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>my voice and listening to myself in these first probably

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the first five episodes of the podcast, and that's why

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy that all this is like dot minute

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you can just hear, you know, the wear and tear

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>of all the things, like you know, Breakfast Club was

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>happening and people were excited to see me there and

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the podcast had just been announced and we were running

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>with the first episodes. I don't think people talk about

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>enough about how, you know, when elevation happens, Like we

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>pray for good things to happen, we pray to elevate.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>You work hards, you're consistent. You know, I'm learning in

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>real time, so I'm doing well. I'm failing in real time. Shoot,

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I tell them sometimes. But people don't talk about enough

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>how just learning to adjust and unlearning what you knew

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>on one level, to relearn and learn for the first

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>time things on this you know, elevated level.

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>How that like takes a toll on you.

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Mentally and physically while having to stay together in front

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of you know all everybody. So you know, as I'm

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening with y'all reflecting back on these episodes, I'm.

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Like, man, you could literally hear and feel it.

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, episode three? What is today? Today's too?

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is episode three?

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yes, I'm tired, y'all.

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So let me know how y'all feel on Twitter on

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Instagram as you're listening to this and you tag me.

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like at this point, we are so

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>exhausted by these Diddy civil lawsuits and all of the

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>things in the sensational like the sensationalize of information that

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>are putting these lawsuits to make them go, to make

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>them pick up, to make them spread that now people

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even care as much. It's like, I mean it.

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>And again, there may be people who were actually victimized

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>in these ways by Diddy. There may be that is alleged.

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>We don't know until it plays out in court on

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.599
<v Speaker 1>both the criminal and the civil side, whatever makes it

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 1>the court, right, But it's just kind of crazy because

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's like it literally feels like it

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>like came and went. Like at one point in time.

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, for me as on a journale side, like

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, as I'm choosing stories to do on the

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club or choosing stories to like you know, actively

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>get new angles and report on and things of that nature.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm always like you know, looking for like, Okay, what's new,

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 1>what's happening, what's happening? But the Diddy stop to me. Now,

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, oh another one, bro, another one. Can

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 1>we just skip to the point where he go to

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>court so we can see what's true what's not? Hold up,

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm back again to pop on in I'm popping in

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the flashbacks. This was so funny to me when I

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>relistened to this episode because I'm like, girl, if only

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 1>you had known you was gonna be in court every

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>day right with Diddy? And that was a big moment

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>for us here on the podcast as well, because we

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>covered every day that I was in court, what happened

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>in court, on the latest with Along the Roads and

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>all those episodes are there in full for you guys

<v Speaker 1>to go back and listen to if you need to

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>catch up as well. But I listened to this and

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I literally laughed, like, girl, you was you couldn't wait

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for court. Come you were in court every day tied

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>to Tale sweet Walking again. Okay, y'all, this is the

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>latest with Laurya l Rosa. I am Laura la Rosa.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>This is episode four, So let's get on into some things.

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 2>We're taking y'all to court.

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 3>We were doing a little.

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Court you know what I mean. If there's a Dun

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Dunn Taylor put that on in here, I need that.

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's given litigation right now. So the first thing

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to talk about was Drake. You guys know

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that Drake has been going back and forth with Universal

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Music Group over the song not Like Us, even though

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>he's positioning it and claiming that it's not specifically about

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the song, that it's more so about the fact that

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>his label did not protect him and that they allowed

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>another artist on the label, speaking of Kendrick Lamar to

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>drop out like Us, which Drake and team say is

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:57.319
<v Speaker 1>a very defamatory song. It's dangerous and there's no way

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that this should have been supported. So now he is suing. Okay,

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the lassit. There's been a lot of back and forth,

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 1>but more recently the Universal Music Group side of things said,

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what, Judge, this all is bs, Drake, don't really,

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't honestly think that we did half of the

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>stuff that he's claiming. He's claiming that they work with

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>bots to make not Like Us a bigger song than

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it was. He's claiming that they, you know, paid third

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>party bloggers to talk about it, that they paid radio,

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.679
<v Speaker 1>like just a ton of different things right that he

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>has claimed over some time. He's claiming everything. But the

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>song is a bop, and baby, the song is a bop.

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>So this next episode that you guys are about to

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>hear from like the first couple weeks of the podcast,

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>is really really special to me because my mom was

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the guests on the episodes, and I've always

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>said I wanted to do like a sit down, like

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>some sort of content with me, my mom and my

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>grandmom just because I feel like the generational conversations are

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>good and there's you know, there's some things that aren't

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>so good, but I think that, you know, it could

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:02.839
<v Speaker 1>help people to see us talk through it.

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 2>So getting her on the podcast was fired.

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 1>My mom loves to talk, she loves people, so she

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>was more than excited to do it.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 2>But it was also special for me.

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Because you know when my mom, my mom is a

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>stage four cancer survivor. If you guys have listened to

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>my early episodes here on The Latest with Lona Rosa,

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I've talked about that.

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I believe, but my mom.

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember one time we had a conversation just about

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, my mom was just basically trying to comfort me.

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Early.

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 1>She's like, look, we don't know how this is going

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to all work out, you know, with this cancer battle.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what's going to happen. I'm not giving up.

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>God has the last say so, but I just want

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you to know that, you know, everything I've been able

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to see you and your brother accomplished in life has

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>fulfilled me. If I don't ever get to see anything else,

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I am fulfilled as.

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 2>A parent and that.

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I know she was trying to comfort me, but it

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>broke my heart because I'm like, man, it's so much

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to do still and this was years ago, so having

0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>her here on the podcast, and when I listened to

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>this back to figure out whether I was going to

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>put it here in this recap episode, I cried because

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, man, like everything she's gotten a witness from

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:13.440

<v Speaker 1>podcast moments. So I got something really really special for

<v Speaker 1>all of my lowriders today. If you've ever seen the

<v Speaker 1>show Girlfriends. And I kind of feel like a little

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.280

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>seen the show Girlfriends, We're going to talk a lot

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>about it today in this episode because we have a

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>icon joining us, MS Golden Brooks, who played Maya on

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the show.

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 3>A right, all right, good morning morning.

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Y'all are glowed up for learning and want a Sunday.

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>All of y'all are given and all of y'all are glowing.

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm really excited to be here.

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh gosh, hi you guys. I'm Golden Brooks aka my

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 5>Denise Wilks.

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Golden.

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>This is kind of like another full circle woman for you,

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>because you guys are the African American Museum in d C.

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 5>We We were, we absolutely were. It's just it's you know,

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 5>I think because Girlfriends was so iconic.

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel so old when I say that, I'm like iconic.

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>But I think.

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 5>Because it was one of the first shows that actually

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 5>celebrated or you know, maur Buck to kill, you know,

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 5>hats off to her showing black women doing yoga and

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.800
