1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Just because you see people in the parking line don't

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: mean they don't got shit to say.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: And this parking lot himpen is not the picky you

00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 2: probably think it is.

00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 3: Dead ass, dead ass.

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm Kadeen and I'm devoued and we're the Ellis's.

Speaker 3: Wait, I make you need therapy most days. Wow.

Speaker 3: Yes, sir, we are.

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 1: We created this podcast to open dialogue about some of

14
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Li's most taboo topics.

15
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Things most folks don't want to talk about.

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: Through the lens of a millennial married couple.

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: Dead ass is a term that we say every day.

18
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: So when we say dead ass, we're actually saying facts

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: one hundred the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: the truth. We about to take philosof to our whole

21
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: new level.

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: Dead ass starts right now.

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Before we get into it, our guests, I want to

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: tell this story. I was a little bit upset about

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: this story, but I did understand what was happening. So

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to, you know, explain a little bit in

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. This was after Kobe's passing, who else had passed?

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: Pop Smoking passed, George Floyd was murdered, and also Chadwick Boseman.

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Had died that summer.

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: It was just a heavy, heavy year and Kadeen and

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: I had decided that we were going to dedicate that

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: season of the podcast to the socioeconomic and socio political

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: unrest that was happening in America during that time in

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That was sparked by George Floyd, but also

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: Breonna Taylor, also online arbery.

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: There were so many events that happened at that time.

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: And for that season, we interviewed Sean King, my son,

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: the general we into we interviewed at the time who

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: was Vice President Biden, this before he won the presidency

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump. But we had interviewed a bunch of

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: different people dealing with socio political and socio economic issues.

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: And not for nothing, that was our lowest listen to

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: season today like it was our The funny thing is

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: our highest listen to episode was the episode we talked

45
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: about Pressure, which is when we.

46
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: Talked about sex in the midst of the season.

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: That was our second episode, but it was just funny

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: to me that when we chose to speak about things

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: that were dear to us and dear to our community,

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: that people stopped listening.

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: And before we get into.

52
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: First of all, I guess so I'm excited about being here.

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I just want to give a little bit of my

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: idea of why the numbers were down. First and foremost,

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: I felt like people just needed a break. You know,

56
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: we released that season of the end of twenty twenty,

57
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: so we'd already dealt with a lot in the beginning.

58
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: Because everything kind of kicked in March. Yeah, everything kicked

59
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 4: in March January with Kobe.

60
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we we released that season, I believe

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: in September September October, and I feel like people were

62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: just fatigued because they were watching CNN every day. They

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: were listening to all the pundits speak, and I feel

64
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: like it was everything escape.

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: It was a lot.

66
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like they were looking for an escape.

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: So that's why our numbers were down. But I am

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: interested in asking our guests when we come back from break,

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: her thoughts about it.

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting.

71
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break, okay, and when

72
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: we come back, Kay's going to introduce our guests.

73
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: Sounds good, stick around, y'all.

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Kay decided that we were going to start a new

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: karaoke trend. Yes, and the karaoke trend is not going

76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: to well, the karaoke song is no longer going to

77
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: be related to the topic because sometimes we just feel

78
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: in the vibe.

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: That's a fact. And sometimes we've been having a hard

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: time trying to figure out a song that correlates to

81
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: the topic because a lot of times it doesn't even

82
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: really correlate. It just might have one or two words

83
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: that makes sense.

84
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: Like today, I was like, oh, parking lot pimp but

85
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: we should do big pimping, right, Well.

86
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: We're supposed to surprise them with the don't let you do.

87
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: Car You said we were going off with vibes.

88
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna do the other song that

89
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: we were talking about that we fell asleep to last night.

90
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: All right, So since we're going on vibes and Carrey

91
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: fucked up the introduction for fucking lot pimping, we're gonna

92
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: go with the other song that we fell asleep to

93
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: last night.

94
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: Oh, we could do both.

95
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean we were we fell asleep to last night

96
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: because I was sleep so I don't remember girl. Oh gosh, okay,

97
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: you started.

98
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: This is your song, bro, I can't tell you how

99
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: I feel about.

100
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: You night and day.

101
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: So the reason why she's singing the song is because

102
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: it's a part in the song. It comes the bridge

103
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: and the break and he just goes girl, and that

104
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: is my favorite part of the song.

105
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: And I don't know why we find that part so funny. Y'all.

106
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: Go listen to I'll Be Shore's song yes, night and day,

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: night and day, and.

108
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: And there's a partner where he goes girl.

109
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: Over and over again.

110
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: He says it twice.

111
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: It felt like it was over and over it.

112
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: Girls.

113
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: All right, we're back, and I'm going to introduce our guests,

114
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 4: so that way she can kind of chime in because

115
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: she's been listening behind the scenes to the story, and

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 4: we want to get her a two cents about why

117
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: she thinks that was happening then and what it looks

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: like now. In the scope of twenty twenty three, we're

119
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 4: still dealing with a lot of things. I think we're

120
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: always dealing with something when it comes to socioeconomic and

121
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: political issues.

122
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: But today we're parking lot pimping, y'all.

123
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 4: And if y'all if you didn't know what Parking Lot

124
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: Pimping was, Baby, you don't need a car for it.

125
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: You don't, you don't. You just need to be there.

133
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: I appreciate. Parking Lot fin Ben has been so influential

134
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: in getting black Americans informed that the Vice President Kamala

135
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,719

140
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: Clap if a clap trip were gonna be mad at a cloud,

141
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: but I am.

142
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: We are so proud of you, proud to have you

143
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: here like this is just I'm ana get out of

144
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: your way, and I want to ask you a question.

145
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Our content the engagement dropped when we started to speak

146
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: on socio political issues. As someone who is primarily in

147
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: that arena, why do you think that happens when quote

148
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: unquote entertainers, Because we I consider us to be entertainers.

149
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: When entertainers choose to.

150
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: Show people how they feel about political issues, why is

151
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: it like a dismissal.

152
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's really interesting, And I also think

153
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 6: you hit the nail on the head, especially during the

154
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 6: time you guys specifically released that season. I do agree

155
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 6: people probably wanted to break, but also because you established

156
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 6: yourselves in a pop culture realm, I do believe people

157
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 6: might have felt disrupted in a way because they might

158
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 6: have come to you as for some type of relief

159
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: or release and just to be entertained. And another big

160
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 6: thing is, for a very long time, our people have

161
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 6: felt very distance from politics.

162
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 5: And it's really.

163
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 6: Interesting because I've been a scholar of a lover of

164
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 6: black history all my life life and it wasn't really

165
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 6: until I left my master's program and I began to see,

166
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: as you said, all the things we've been.

167
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: Hit with since twenty twenty.

168
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 6: I guess experiencing it as an adult on my own,

169
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 6: Lord Jesus, they gave it a different coloring for me.

170
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 6: But it's surprising, to say the least, that that has

171
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 6: actually been with the bulk of our contribution to American

172
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 6: history has been in politics, but absolutely still because we

173
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 6: have not yet achieved all the freedoms we want to achieve.

174
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 6: That has caused a lot of discontent and wilful distancing

175
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 6: in our communities from politics. And so I think during

176
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 6: that time in specific, we were getting a lot of

177
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: people on the train. We were getting them to understand

178
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 6: you have to be versed, you have to know what's

179
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 6: going on so you can step up to the table,

180
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 6: so you can be informed, so you can be on

181
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: with language all the things. It's just it's hard because

182
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 6: even as we're doing that, even as we see this

183
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 6: influx of so many young black creatives really getting engaged

184
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 6: in the conversation, we're still men with the people in

185
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 6: the comments sections. I'm not voting on more because no

186
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 6: matter how I vote, and there re turns out how

187
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 6: I need to and I'm not doing no less of

188
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 6: two evils.

189
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 5: And I get it, I really do. We are having to.

190
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 6: Do a lot of unlearning and enfranchising ourselves, and it's

191
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 6: just hard to do. It's hard to do, especially when

192
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 6: politics has always been seen as a quote unquote white

193
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 6: people think, you know, and it can't be that anymore.

194
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 6: It can't be that anymore.

195
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah.

196
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 4: I think earlier, well, earlier this season, based off of

197
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: when this episode is airing, we did talk about celebrity

198
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: influence and them having a say when it comes to

199
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: using their platforms, particularly when it's comes to politics. Right so,

200
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: for right now, for example, what the war happening. People

201
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 4: are looking at certain people of influence with platforms that

202
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: have millions of followers to take a stance, whether it's

203
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: picking a side, whether it's you know, towing the line,

204
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: whatever it is that they're doing, they're looking for that,

205
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: and I think what we did, particularly in twenty twenty,

206
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: we didn't want to come across as being tone deaf.

207
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: Right.

208
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 4: It's like, read the room that you're in right now, Well,

209
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 4: how can you just talk about sex and marriage and

210
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: frollicking around.

211
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: When the world is literally crumbling around you?

212
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: So for us to avoid that, we felt like it

213
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: was just our duty to not necessarily take a stide

214
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: or to be divisive, which tends to happen a lot

215
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: when you do even try to just educate people in

216
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: you know, a post or giving information. And I love

217
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: that when I look at your page and I come

218
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: to your page, it's usually for educational purposes because I

219
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: may not understand the jargon ladened you know, terms that

220
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: happen with politics. So I think if people are approaching

221
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 4: it with more of a let me educate myself kind

222
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 4: of perspectives versus let me go to the comments to

223
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 4: be divisive, it'll be a lot it'll be a lot

224
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: more beneficial. But you know, in that moment, we just

225
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 4: were like, how do we avoid like not talking.

226
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: About the elephant in the room when the elephant is

227
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: in the room?

228
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: Right?

229
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: You know? Have you had yours like that even on

230
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: your platform.

231
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm actually struggling with it right now, and I'll

232
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 6: give some more context to that in just a second.

233
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: But of all the posts that I'm seeing, of all

234
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 6: the posts that I'm seeing that are showing a lot

235
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 6: of violence that's going on, that are infographics of what

236
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 6: sides are talking about, what what might be true and

237
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 6: what isn't. I will tell you the most powerful meme,

238
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 6: so to speak, that I've seen is a picture that says,

239
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 6: I think the elephant ties the room together. And I

240
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 6: thought this spoke volumes because especially with someone like a

241
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 6: platform myself, especially you guys, it's just minorities in America.

242
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 6: You know, more often than not that the elephant that's

243
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 6: in the room is I think that needs to be

244
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 6: tackled so the room can be at peace. So the

245
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 6: room can be peaceful, you know, And people are saying

246
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 6: that they want peace on earth, and it's just really

247
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 6: difficult for people to say what they want to say

248
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 6: because the reality is their politics can be tied to

249
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 6: their careers. And so right now when I say that

250
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 6: I'm struggling with it on my own platform, you know,

251
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 6: I have a podcast where I'm connected to to other

252
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 6: creators and while we all aren't supportive of all the

253
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 6: things that we're in support of because our podcast kind

254
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 6: of it is a extension of the park of my

255
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 6: Pamphan brand, but all of us have roots, and whether

256
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 6: it's black studies or advocacy and all the things, I

257
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 6: can't just allow my statements to color what.

258
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 5: They got going on.

259
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 6: Also, also, I work with people, and while I'm thinking

260
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 6: about the webs that I'm connected and I'm also really

261
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 6: thinking about what my spirit wants me to do, and

262
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 6: what I'm being led just to me in this moment.

263
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 6: So I think a lot of people are making the

264
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 6: best choices that they can and I can't speak for

265
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 6: anybody else's choices, you know. I've been taking a minute

266
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 6: myself to craft how I want to say what I

267
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 6: want to say, because you just have to.

268
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 5: It's not a time to be.

269
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: Quiet, right for sure?

270
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: Right, I have a question, Okay, where do you because

271
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people ask me this all the time,

272
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: where do you get your information?

273
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: Right?

274
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington had a quote that said, if you if

275
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: you watch the news, you're misinformed, But if you don't

276
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: watch the news, you're uninformed, you know, And then he

277
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: asked reporters. He said, you know what, what a a

278
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: great responsibility you have to tell the truth. And we're

279
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: living in an age now where the truth is not

280
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: as important as being first, Like it's just let's be first.

281
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: Let's get the information out first, and even if it's

282
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: not true, well we got it out first, so we

283
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: get the clicks. Where do you find your information to

284
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: know and stay informed and know that the information I

285
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: got is the right information?

286
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

287
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: Because I mean, you have pretty much essentially created a

288
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 4: new version of news media. You know, that makes it

289
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: super digestible for us, and we haven't seen anything like

290
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 4: that before really, So, like, what made you? Also, I

291
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: guess to piggyback on Davow's question, what made you create

292
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 4: parking lot pimping? Like, just give us an overview about

293
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: what it is that your platform is.

294
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 6: So what made me create parking lot Pimping, honestly was

295
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 6: a desire to see black people really be there for

296
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 6: one another. Regardless about the things that I've learned about

297
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 6: racism in this country, I've discovered that it's been most

298
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 6: successful at dividing our communities, whether it's on the basis

299
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 6: of sex, gender, sexuality, class, all the things.

300
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 5: And as much as we want.

301
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 6: To talk about the white man being the issue, the

302
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 6: white man has done a lot of things in our

303
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 6: own neighborhoods that we have to attend to before we

304
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 6: can be a united front. So I started the parking

305
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 6: lot to inform my inform my audience on historical things

306
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 6: that have taken place that make our communities valuable period

307
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 6: and pulling back the wool over.

308
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 5: Age old adages about what certain.

309
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 6: Groups of people are capable of, whether or not, they

310
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 6: are valuable.

311
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 5: In our communities. And so that's where it started.

312
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 6: And then as I started to see whether it was

313
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 6: in the news or social media, these different topics taking

314
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 6: over the headlines and starting these dialogues, I said, okay,

315
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 6: well I can use I can be informed what's going

316
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 6: on in the news and use these content pieces as

317
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 6: opportunities to connect what is going on throughout history to

318
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 6: make my point hit home all the more. And that

319
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 6: is actually when I saw my content spike. So to

320
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 6: your point, I'm always looking in the headlines. I actually

321
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: have a writing team now. I've got a researcher who's

322
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 6: a journalist and a writing partner as well to help

323
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 6: me just make sure that I am. If I'm traveling

324
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 6: or anything, I'm still abreast of what's going on, and

325
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 6: I have all the most up to date information, and

326
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 6: so I'm looking in the news to see.

327
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 5: What I can pull from.

328
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 6: But more importantly, what I think I can tell the

329
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 6: best story about, And not just tell a story as

330
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 6: in makeup something, but what narrative can.

331
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 5: I craft that I can be proud of that I

332
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: know is.

333
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 6: Verified information and all those things, and what I can

334
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 6: say that has the most impact from my audience. And

335
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 6: so with that, then all three of us also have

336
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 6: master's degrees in African American studies. We pull from our

337
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 6: peer reviewed literature. We pulled from books that have been

338
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 6: certified by the scholarship things to pad that information to

339
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 6: make sure that we're doing due diligence.

340
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 5: So it's a two way street for sure.

341
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: That's great.

342
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: So you get your history from certified outlets. History makes

343
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: most that makes the most sense. The biggest issue that

344
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: people are running into now is do I listen to CNN?

345
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Do I listen to Fox? Do I listen to MSNBC?

346
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: Like which newspapers do I read? Because now the biggest

347
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: thing is everything is fake news. It's all propaganda. So

348
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: my biggest concern is trying to answer people who ask

349
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: me the question like where aval where do you get

350
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: your news if you can't trust anything you watch? And

351
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: I want to ask you because you are way more

352
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: educated on this than I am. And I also feel

353
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: safe in saying that we have a guest on the

354
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: show who does her due diligence not only for history

355
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: but also current events. Where do you get your news

356
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: and find out about information and things? That's happening now.

357
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I pay a lot of attention to the

358
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 6: discussion around my sources as well, like what their credibility

359
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 6: has been in the history, and whether it's the history

360
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 6: of someone's brand or history period. It's always going to

361
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 6: be revealing to you about whether or not you can

362
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 6: trust the source of information. And so, for instance, just

363
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 6: taking it back to twenty twenty, if you're at a rally,

364
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 6: not you don't even have to be at the rally.

365
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 6: If you're on Fox News and they're planing clip of

366
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 6: Trump saying whatever about the good people in Charleston, South

367
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 6: Carolina who just fand somebody over with a car, you

368
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 6: can look at the history of the good people in

369
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 6: South Carolina and let them know that no, that was

370
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 6: actually factually racist, you know. So it's those kinds of

371
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 6: things you just you have to be a little bit

372
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 6: more well informed about the history of the thing before

373
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 6: you can just make an opinion on what people are

374
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 6: saying about it right now. And I think that is

375
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 6: the determining factor because it is difficult and what I

376
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 6: can say that so far, sources that I've pulled from

377
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 6: that I trust are people like MPR, the Acluvox the

378
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 6: Washington Post.

379
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 5: It can get iffy.

380
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 6: So you've got to make sure that you are giving

381
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 6: yourself an opportunity to see what folks are saying about

382
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 6: the issue itself, because things are also complex. And I

383
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 6: think that's the best thing about my platform and also

384
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 6: what I encourage others to do, and that's embraced the

385
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 6: nuance of situations and understand that.

386
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: Not everything is cut and dry.

387
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So I didn't want to say some want

388
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: to hear you saying, but I had gotten some flak

389
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: from some of my friends because I do watch CNN,

390
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: but I also watch Fox, so watch MSNBC because like you,

391
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, we have to understand the nuance, right, And

392
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: when people speak like you said, go look at the

393
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: history of that person. Go look at the history of

394
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: their their words, and have they spoken fallacies in the past,

395
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: because then you can see if they spoken fallacies in

396
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: the past, this may not be someone I really want

397
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: to you know, hold as a credible source. But that

398
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: doesn't mean everyone on every source is discredible or is

399
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: that not even a word discreditable you.

400
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 3: Know or not or not credible?

401
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: You incredible?

402
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: But I do the same thing.

403
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: I'll watch Fox for a couple hours and see what's

404
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: going on on that side. I'll watch THEE and and

405
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: I'll watch MSNBC.

406
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: I would love to know Lenney what your process is like,

407
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 4: because when you're trying to unpack and then try to

408
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 4: find a way to deliver what can be very daunting,

409
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: complex information that can also be very touchy depending on

410
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 4: like who's listening and what their stances, delivery is everything.

411
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 4: And you know, we always talk about with our team

412
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: just how we use the gear to make the gifts

413
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 4: that you've been given to make them work for you.

414
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: And I know that you do have a background in

415
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: poetry as well.

416
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 4: And how do you find that being a poet has

417
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 4: kind of led you to be this kind of social

418
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: media educator. Do you think it's better received or well

419
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 4: received based off of how you deliver it?

420
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

421
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure and go ahead.

422
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, I just I'm gonna be honest.

423
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: When I when I first came to your page, it

424
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: was the flow in which the information was coming out,

425
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: which is made me pay attention right right, because you

426
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: could you could be very knowledgeable, would be a dry

427
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: talking head.

428
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: Well that's true.

429
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 4: You know, I listened to all of your videos at

430
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 4: least two or three times, just because at first I'm

431
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: just like, she's so eloquent.

432
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: I love the way she said that the flow is.

433
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 4: Great, Like I look at that portion of it first,

434
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 4: and then I have to go back and what did

435
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 4: she really say? You know, and just be able to

436
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: like unpack it and digest it. So was that like

437
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 4: a major influence in how you started parking lot pimping?

438
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, information?

439
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 6: And it's interesting you use the words of major influence

440
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 6: because I think in transit absolutely did I think about it. No,

441
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 6: I actually critiqued myself because, especially since I started the

442
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 6: parking lot, I had not had intimate time with my journal,

443
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 6: just literally writing poetry unless someone was asking me to

444
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 6: do it. For it, even unless I was getting paid

445
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 6: for it, wasn't something I felt that I was still

446
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: honing my craft on until I got a lot of

447
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 6: feedback that my photo my videos do feel like poetry

448
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 6: for the listener and the audience, and paying attention to

449
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 6: my delivery was always something intentional, because, as you said,

450
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 6: you can be informed, but you can also be a draft.

451
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 5: I was a high school.

452
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 6: Teacher for two and a half years, and one thing

453
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 6: a high school kid is going to let you do

454
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: is know if you're wat.

455
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 4: Y that because I was not the history head at

456
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: all in school.

457
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: I mean, to me, it was just dry, dry, dry drive.

458
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: Look, I totally disconnected when it came to social studies

459
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: and things like that.

460
00:20:54,560 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: But deal, so where were you when I was in

461
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: high school history?

462
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 6: And where are you in high school?

463
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: She was six?

464
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 5: Y'all?

465
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: How to age me like that? God damn? So is

466
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: there a patique?

467
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: I don't know if you had a follow up question

468
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 4: or not, but I'm just like feeling the flow of

469
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: where we're going here speaking about African American history and

470
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 4: all that.

471
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: Like what keeps you inspired the most?

472
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 4: Because it can just be a lot, especially during the

473
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 4: time and like all of the noise, Is there anything

474
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 4: that keeps you inspired or just you it makes you

475
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 4: want to keep going in times like this.

476
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 6: I think it's two things, and I don't want to

477
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 6: get too deep on you, but it's just one of

478
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 6: my heart right now. But the first thing is that

479
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 6: I love us for real, Like we say that as

480
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 6: a joke, but I am absolutely in love with black people.

481
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 6: I have enamored with what we've been able to do

482
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: on this earth, and I am in all of all

483
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 6: the gifts that we've been given and the circumstances that

484
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 6: we've had.

485
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 5: So that's one thing, yes, And.

486
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 6: The second thing is that it's just honestly something I'm

487
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 6: called to do, you know. Oh, like conviction very heavy

488
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 6: in my spirit, that this is something that we can't

489
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 6: see an into right now, but if we were to

490
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 6: give up, well, our progeny will never see an endo it.

491
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 5: So I'm very inspired.

492
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why that's deep. But that's very

493
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: very important. Right during the mix of all that, I

494
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: wrote a book, a children's book called the Elyssis the

495
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: Elysis in the Time Machine, Why do we have to

496
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: say black lives matter? And pretty much it was a

497
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: historical journey where my character traveled back in time with

498
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: my sons and my wife and we explained to them,

499
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: from slavery to black holes to Jim Crow, why we

500
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: have to say black lives matter? But what you said

501
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: resonated with me so much. I love being black so much.

502
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Not because of all the things people think blackness is,

503
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: Oh he's athletic, Oh, the sexual prowess of a black

504
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: man and a black woman. No, I love being black because,

505
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: if you know, our history and know everything that we've

506
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: gone through to understand the resilis that exist in us

507
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: as a people makes me love my people like I

508
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: legitimately feel like I can do whatever I want to do.

509
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: We took the twenty three and meter tests and I

510
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: found out that my ancestors are eighty percent Nigerian. Eighty

511
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: percent Nigerian, but they actually walked in the trail of

512
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: tears after the slaves were freed in eighteen sixty.

513
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: Five, and it just made me proud.

514
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, whereas as so many other people would

515
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: feel like dang I was my ancestors we sold Oh no, yeah,

516
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: we walked miles west. We walked miles west to survive

517
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: and then build what we have now. So I understand what.

518
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: I understand what you were saying by being free but

519
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: being deep.

520
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 3: I get it. But go ahead, I want to cut

521
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: you a guest.

522
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 5: And so it's fine.

523
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 6: And it's funny that you say that, because I was

524
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 6: having a conversation with someone and being funny but being

525
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 6: all the way serious at the same time. I said,

526
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 6: Harriet Tubman made I don't know how many trips up

527
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 6: in dynasty down to states frame people.

528
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 5: You're gonna waste her time, for.

529
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: We're gonna waste all the people for us time who

530
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 6: spent so much time and effort less waiting tears for

531
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 6: us to be able to sit.

532
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 5: Here today and talk on the podcast.

533
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 6: Huh. And so that's I feel like I can't waste time.

534
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 6: And then also just knowing what we do here today

535
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 6: is what's going to be propelling the future generations of us.

536
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 6: So that's why I keep doing it. But to your point,

537
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 6: it is very exhausting, and I've had to take my

538
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 6: own hiatuses And actually I've spent the last year investing

539
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 6: my time and energy and developing a self care brand.

540
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 5: People have been telling me to make tea.

541
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 6: So I'm finally making teas, but since to release this

542
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 6: holiday season, and I got to be in community with

543
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 6: women who are glagiche And if you're not familiar, those

544
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 6: are our sensions of the people here in America that

545
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 6: were able to retain all of their Western African West

546
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: African influence from the period of slavery. Because in Georgetown,

547
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 6: South Carolina is where the majority live today, but also

548
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 6: in some offshoot islands on the coast. But if you

549
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 6: know anything about the different regions of slavery, they grew

550
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 6: different things, and in that region that grew rice. And

551
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 6: the way in which you grow rice in large scale

552
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 6: is very dangerous. It is dangerous in terms of the infrastructure,

553
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 6: but also what the slave people were exposed to. And

554
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 6: so the lifespan of an enslaved person there was only

555
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 6: seven years, seven years of labor. But I say all

556
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 6: that to say is why people didn't want to be

557
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 6: in the mix risk in their lives. And so there

558
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 6: were far less overseers, far more people, and big far

559
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 6: less people in big houses micro managing them. They had

560
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 6: task systems, so as long as they met their quotas,

561
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 6: they left them alone and they were free to continue

562
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 6: their traditions, cultures, food stuffs and all the things. And

563
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 6: so those women have helped me launch a brand, and

564
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 6: I definitely know that I'll be tapping into other cultures

565
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 6: and the diaspora to help make my tees. But not

566
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 6: only is it the tea's at the teacups, it's candles

567
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 6: and back tea as well for you to and certain

568
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 6: nerves and pice and all the things. So that has

569
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 6: also been a part of my story, like yes we

570
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 6: have to continue the good fight, Yes we were made

571
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 6: with resilience in mind, but we also have to rest

572
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 6: and repair ourselves if we're going to keep going.

573
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: So, so look real quick, I know, I know you

574
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of praise and learn from our people,

575
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: but I also know when you probably don't post abody it,

576
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: you probably do get hate.

577
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: From the other side.

578
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm talking to Okay, So how do you deal

579
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: with and how do you decide with regardless of whether

580
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: the hate comes from people who look like me or

581
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: don't look like me, how do you decide how you're

582
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: going to keep going and if you're going to keep going.

583
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 6: Uh, those comments don't really have a place I think

584
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 6: as a human. They hurt sometimes, they hurt my feelings.

585
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 6: Sometimes they're just laughable, but they have no place in

586
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 6: what I got going on. You know, I had a

587
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 6: conversation I was able to bless enough to have dinner

588
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 6: with Mistab and I was just talking to her about

589
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 6: Tabitha Brown. I was talking to her about my season

590
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 6: in life and acting with integrity and being honest, and

591
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 6: she said that honesty is other people's problem, not yours.

592
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 5: And so that encouraged me in a big way, because

593
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 5: if I do feel that I'm.

594
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 6: Putting my best foot forward and I'm sharing truth that

595
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 6: honesty and truth and the inability to deal with it.

596
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 5: It's not my problem. My goal is just to put

597
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: it out there to start conversation. And I think that

598
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 5: even that.

599
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 6: Brings me to something else that you didn't ask me,

600
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 6: But it's just in my mind to talk about it.

601
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 6: We got to know what our roles are. Some of

602
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 6: us are not marshals in the street. Some of us

603
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 6: are not policy advocates. Some of us don't lobby in courtrooms.

604
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 6: Some of us do the educating, and that's okay. And

605
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 6: people on either side are also going to have a

606
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 6: problem with how you engage in the fight, but that's

607
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 6: their problem, that's not yours. And you're gonna be confident

608
00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 6: in how you show up.

609
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 5: No.

610
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: I love that.

611
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 4: I love that you've figured out where you fall in

612
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: this ecosystem of change, right because we're always trying to

613
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 4: scramble to figure out what that was. And I think,

614
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 4: particularly back in twenty twenty, it was just like, man,

615
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: if you're not saying anything on social media, people thought

616
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 4: like you're not saying anything, much like even now, if

617
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: they say you know you're silent, you're complicit, like you know,

618
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 4: you don't stand for something, you're kind of toning the line.

619
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 4: So I love that you found where you are in

620
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: that ecosystem, but I've always wondered just to kind of

621
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 4: change pace a little bit.

622
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 2: Why the parking lot? Like how did that come up?

623
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 5: Girl? You know?

624
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 6: Let me tell you, anybody who's ever wanted to do something,

625
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 6: my story is epitome of just do it. Literally, just

626
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 6: do it and everything will fall into place. And the

627
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 6: only reason why even one outside is because I was

628
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 6: going to start my show on YouTube and it was

629
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 6: going to be a little bit longer, but I said,

630
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 6: how can I stand out from people who are doing

631
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 6: videos in front of their desk, in front of their bed, Yeah,

632
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 6: you know, doing.

633
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 5: The lifestyle type things.

634
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 6: And I was like, I want people to scroll class

635
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 6: and be like, what's she doing in her parking lot?

636
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 5: And like that's it's all the way.

637
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 6: All of it was a strategy to get folks attention

638
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 6: and keep those attention because to the Vale's point earlier,

639
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 6: I already knew coming in that people felt like they

640
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 6: already knew everything they was to know about black history

641
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 6: and it's just not true. And also everybody that they

642
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 6: hear it from is either trying to push something down

643
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 6: their throat or just communicating the way they cannot relate to.

644
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 6: And that's also where I'm gonna keep a black Keep

645
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 6: it Brief came from because after I think I made

646
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 6: a longer video it was like maybe nine minutes. It

647
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 6: was terrible, but my boyfriend and I were talking about

648
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 6: how the attention spent attention spent isn't there.

649
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: For my brand new conceast six minutes, right, And what

650
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: he said.

651
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 6: To me is that you should do something short on

652
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 6: Instagram and then tell them to come to YouTube. And

653
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 6: I was like, no, because they're not going to do

654
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 6: that either. I need to do it all within these

655
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 6: three minutes on Instagram.

656
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 5: Yes, So that's where I'm going to keep it back.

657
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 5: Keep it brief came from.

658
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: Your genius for that. I'm gonna tell you how old

659
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: are you if you don't mind me asking. Twenty eight, So

660
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: you're ten years my junior.

661
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: Right.

662
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: But literally it was the same process we went through

663
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: with content. Literally it was we have to create content

664
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: that people want to see, right. So at first it

665
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: was like, let's create short videos and send them to YouTube.

666
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: But it was like nah, because even on YouTube, they're

667
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: not gonna look past six.

668
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: Minutes, right exactly, And the analytics.

669
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: Show the point was three to four minutes. You can

670
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: make a video three to four minutes. You can keep

671
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: people's attention span and they'll share it. So it's amazing

672
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: to me that at twenty eight you were able to

673
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: figure that out. I was a little bit old, butive,

674
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: just do it.

675
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: I was twenty five.

676
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: Just do it so insanely wise.

677
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 4: And I mean I was talking about this pre show,

678
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: but Leney and I actually met, I think for the

679
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 4: first time in person at a Target event at Essence Festival,

680
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: and it was just something about your spirit and your energy,

681
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 4: and I'm just like, I know, I want to see

682
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 4: her again, and I have to see her again, and

683
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to get her on the podcast because

684
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: just your energy and your space in that room and

685
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 4: how sure you were of yourself, like that was just

686
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: enough to have me.

687
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: I didn't in touch with many women.

688
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: I mean, there was a room full of amazing women,

689
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: but I'm just saying someone who I know I wanted

690
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 4: to be in their presence again. So I just love that,

691
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: and I salute you says for knowing at twenty five

692
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 4: that this was something that you, you know, were called to

693
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 4: do and sitting in that.

694
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 6: It's so funny that you say that, because I'm just

695
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 6: remembering exactly where we met, and that was at the.

696
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 5: Brunch for Target.

697
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, girl.

698
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 5: When I tell you I was in samples that day.

699
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 6: Really, the stylist that I had, it just didn't correlate

700
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 6: where we were going.

701
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 5: And I just when I walked in that room, when

702
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 5: we were there with.

703
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 6: All of these big names and icons, I was like,

704
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 6: I'm in here looking like a harlet. Nobody's gonna take me.

705
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 5: Seriously. I got like try to fix myself.

706
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 6: And it's so funny because when it was time to speak,

707
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 6: I said, oh, I get to.

708
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 5: Say something, and now everybody will know that I'm serious.

709
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 4: Baby, baby, It's so funny how you were internalizing that

710
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 4: because I never would have been able to tell first off.

711
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, but the many you opened your mouth to speak.

746
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 6: with education at the center and at the helm, but

747
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 6: trick people into learning something. I like to really lace

748

Speaker 6: a really good narrative with information, and not just information,

749
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,640

00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 6: is also based in that.

00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 2: You know, it gives me.

790
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 4: I can't speak for the val but it just gives

791
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: me anxiety, you know, just thinking about this world that

792
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 4: we're putting them into.

793
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 2: But what we're very deliberate about.

794
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 4: We even did a travel show on Go USA where

795
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 4: we took the boys to Birmingham, Alabama, and we went

796
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: to the Sixteenth Street Church, and we went to the

797
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 4: Rice Museum. And we're very deliberate about making our boys

798
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: immersing them in history and culture so they know exactly

799
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 4: who they are and they know that they're equipped to

800
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 4: do all the things because they can do all the things,

801
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: because why they come from people who've done all the

802
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 4: things given the circumstances. So I'm looking to looking forward

803
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 4: to continuing to learn from you and being a sponge

804
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 4: and then in turn being a vessel to be able

805
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 4: to educate my children. Like you said, the work we're

806
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 4: doing now is not We're not going to feel the

807
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 4: benefits maybe our generation, but hope we're hoping for generations

808
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 4: to come. So I thank you for your work, Lenee.

Speaker 3: so much.

843
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: AnyWho, how was it for you guys navigating through your

844
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: relationships so young? Me and my boyfriend have been together

845
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: since we were seventeen, we are now two. We really

846
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: don't have anyone who's been together since they were young.

847
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: What advice do you.

848
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: Have, Carol?

849
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 2: Are you new to the show?

850
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 4: We're twelve seasons and talking about this, and you know,

851
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 4: if you haven't heard yet, we have a New York

852
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 4: Times bestselling books called We over Meet, the Counterintuitive Approach

853
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: Again and Everything you Want out of Your Relationship Facts,

854
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 4: And we literally talk about the inception of Kadeen and

855
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: Devou because not for nothing, a lot of people see

856
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: us now and they're just like, I want a relationship

857
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 4: like yours, I want a marriage like yours. Like what

858
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 4: did y'all do to get to hear? And this is

859
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 4: twenty one years in the making, y'all? So I think

860
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 4: a good place to start because this is a loaded question.

861
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 4: I mean, we probably can give a cliff notes version

862
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: of the advice, but we unpack so many things that

863
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 4: we talk about in the book because it talks about

864
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 4: the meeting of two people who come from similar but

865
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: also different backgrounds, how our childhood, our parents, our families

866
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 4: helped to shape who we were as individuals, and then

867
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 4: trying to grow as individuals and as young people.

868
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 3: You've been watching the doc? Oh the doc?

869
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: Have you been watching the doc, young lady? Yeah, Love

870
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: Against the World doc has been on a Patreon. You

871
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: subscribe to Patreon. That's the bigger ques because all the

872
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: answers is in the dock and you get the book.

873
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: You can get the book, putting on your lap and

874
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: watch the doc while listening to the podcast simultaneously.

875
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 4: There goes references three sources for BAM.

876
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: But but if you had to answer the question, ask

877
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: each other what you need, what you require, and if

878
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: you love each other, keep working to be there for

879
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: each other. Don't listen to nobody else. Nobody else's opinions

880
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: don't matter. Don't try to emulate nobody else. You will

881
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: never be the valand Kadean. You shouldn't want to be

882
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: the valand Kadean because the valent Kadeen don't want to

883
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: be nobody else, and we don't want nobody.

884
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: Else to be like us, period.

885
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: So talk to each other, young lady, you twenty two,

886
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: that's your best friend, you his best friend. Y'all get together,

887
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: collab on what you want life to be like and

888
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: get it done.

889
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: I love that.

890
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: See how I did that?

891
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: Then that was great.

892
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: I just putnotes the book there in about thirty second

893
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: futes CLI whatever is it, footnotes cliff notes.

894
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 3: I call them footnotes cliff notes.

895
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: Of the abbreviated version. But yeah, so I hope that

896
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: helps this.

897
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 4: But we do unpack a lot on all seriousness in

898
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 4: the Doctor, the book and the podcast. I mean, if

899
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 4: you listen from season one, and it's crazy to think

900
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 4: we had season one. I think Deval and I both

901
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 4: said recently that things that we said in season one

902
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 4: and two and three we may not even feel the

903
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 4: same way.

904
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: Now.

905
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: A journey, right, you guys can follow the journey of

906
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 4: like how we came to be, at least in your

907
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 4: eyes through the podcast.

908
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: I think it would make sense if you listen to

909
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: season one all the way through, and then by the

910
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: time you get to about season nine when we started

911
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: filming here, you'll see the differences and realizing that being

912
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: in love with someone means evolving for sure.

913
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 3: So I can't even give you an answer on how

914
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 3: to make it.

915
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: Be ready for ready, ready to evolve, and be ready

916
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: for change for sure.

917
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 4: All right on to the next one, hikeating Deval. I

918
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 4: love you both, including your family, and I've been watching

919
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 4: your video since Rowro was a baby. See blocking Deval

920
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 4: to this day, Kadeen, my sister. I'm from Guyana. This

921
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 4: question is for you, Okay, say.

922
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: What's going on? By it all right?

923
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 4: All throughout all my years of watching and listen to

924
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 4: the podcast, I can't help but notice how much your

925
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 4: libido from what you shared with us has changed. I

926
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 4: remember the podcast episodes where you mentioned that sex was

927
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 4: just wasn't just wasn't a priority for you, And now

928
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 4: I hear Deval making jokes about how he can't keep

929
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 4: you off him, and you make a lot more comments

930
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 4: about sex and how enjoyable it is for you.

931
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: What has changed? Do you have any advice? I'm young.

932
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 4: My husband and I are twenty seven and we've been

933
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 4: together since middle school. He's the greatest husband ever, so sexy,

934
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 4: an amazing protector. It's giving me and thank you, and

935
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 4: he still gives me butterflies when he comes home from

936
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 4: work at the end of the day.

937
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: We have one little girl and with a little boy

938
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: on the way.

939
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 4: He meets all my needs and more, and I wish

940
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 4: he could say the same about me, especially when it

941
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 4: comes to sex, because it seems that that's what keeps

942
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 4: him the happiest when we're intimate and he feels desired

943
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 4: by me. Thank you, guys for all that you do.

944
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 4: You both are truly role models for us. First of all,

945
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: says shout out to you and your husband. I love

946
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 4: that you can speak so positively about him and the relationship,

947
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 4: and that after time has passed, because that's usually what happens.

948
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 4: People feel like things fall off over time. But that

949
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: you guys are still so immensely into each other and

950
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 4: you're making it a priority to prioritize him and what

951
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 4: he wants sexually. And like you said, if you've been

952
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 4: listening and watching the podcast and even just go reference

953
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 4: the last question from season one to season nine to now,

954
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 4: things have definitely drastically changed for me. But you also

955
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 4: said here that you have a little girl with a

956
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 4: boy on the way. I will say that children, children,

957
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 4: It was a big thing for me, and just libido hormones,

958
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 4: being in the mood, not being in the mood, feeling

959
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 4: like yourself, not feeling like yourself, being fatigued and tired,

960
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 4: still being fatigued and tired. It's like something that clicks

961
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 4: in a woman when you become a mother that you're

962
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 4: just always tired all the time. So these are so

963
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 4: many things that I know you're probably battling that I

964
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 4: have battled to. Another thing that we've realized that was

965
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 4: a detriment to me was birth control. Birth control also

966
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 4: to interrupted.

967
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 3: It affects your libido, your.

968
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 4: Hormones, everything, And you can speak to that devout too,

969
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 4: because you've seen a great difference in everything. I mean,

970
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 4: I'm still not matching his level of frequency and things

971
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 4: like that, but there's definitely been a change in me

972
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 4: since getting off of birth control.

973
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean birth control does what it's supposed to do.

974
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: Not only does it eliminature, not eliminate completely, but lessen

975
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: your chance of getting pregnant, but it also makes you

976
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: not want.

977
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 3: To have sex as much, Like that's just.

978
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: Part of birth control. When Kadeen finally got off birth control,

979
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: her hormones regulated, and prior to that, the only reason

980
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: why she was off birth control was to get pregnant.

981
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: So then when she's getting pregnant, her hormones are not regulated.

982
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: So it's difficult to have a high libdia libido be

983
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: into having sex when you're gaining and losing weight and

984
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: your hormones are all over the place. It took me

985
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: and as an older gentleman, to understand what we were

986
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: going through during that time, because while we were going

987
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: through it, I didn't have the knowledge I had now.

988
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: I was under the impression that Kadeen's libido would still

989
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: say the same, and I didn't know that birth control

990
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: was going to affect it, children were going to affect it,

991
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: affected fatigue was going to affect it. Now that I'm older,

992
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: what I do is make sure that my wife has

993
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: the necessary space she needs to get the rest she

994
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: needs during the day so that she can bust it

995
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: wide open in the nighttime when you get it.

996
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: So it's both sides, you know.

997
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: I feel like women have to do a job a

998
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: better job of understanding their own bodies. Men have to

999
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: do a better job of understanding your wife's bodies, especially

1000
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: when they're going through pregnancy, postpartum, pre natal, and also

1001
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: understanding fatigue. So if we as a collection of humans

1002
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: learn to understand a woman's bodies better, sex can be

1003
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: way more enjoyable because then you'll understand why things are

1004
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: happening and you won't take it on yourself as I'm

1005
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: not desirable that's why she's not in a mood, because

1006
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: that's typically what happens. Men would feel like we internalize

1007
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: it just a lot like you guys internalize it when

1008
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: your woman is not into you, or she keeps rejecting you,

1009
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: or she keeps turning you down.

1010
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 3: Is it then becomes what's wrong with me?

1011
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: And a lot of the times when I watch from

1012
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: guys who say what's wrong with me, is they look

1013
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: for an outlet to prove to themselves that there's nothing

1014
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: wrong with them, so they'll they'll cheat, or they just

1015
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: get depressed and be like, something is wrong with me?

1016
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 3: And then you know, experience, I thought that, I was like,

1017
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 3: what the fuck is wrong with me? Like?

1018
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: I work out all the time, I make good money,

1019
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: I try to stay young. I compliment my wife, like

1020
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: what is wrong with me that she can't you know,

1021
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: she doesn't want to be with me like that? And

1022
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: then she got her birth control and then I gotta

1023
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: resected me, and then it was a rat because now

1024
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: I'll be feeling tugs and grabs and rubs and I'm like, yo,

1025
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: I'm like where did this come from?

1026
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 3: She'd be like I don't need now.

1027
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying once she approach forty that

1028
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, take off at T minus about

1029
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:10,600

Speaker 3: I'm off ahead, so you can start right now.

Speaker 3: Okay.

1084
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: I was born through immaculate conception. Remember Jesus, how Jesus

1085
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: is born. I was born the same way I could

1086
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: walk on water.

1087
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,239

Speaker 3: have a seat.

1090
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: That's not religious to say Jesus call me the Viesus.

1091
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 3: You're joking.

1092
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm joking because now people are going to take that

1093
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: clip of devout saying he's Jesus, just to be sure,

1094
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: just to be sure, lift lifted at whatever it was,

1095
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: it was a joke. I don't believe I'm Jesus. Okay, Moses, no,

1096
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: share you moment the truth. Please, this this whole thing

1097
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: went left far less and it happened when you talked

1098
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: about my mother.

1099
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 2: Nobody be trying to involve your mother. Nothing.

1100
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 4: So I hope that helps you sys to tie up

1101
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 4: that listener letter and moment of truth time.

1102
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: Getting back to what did we talk about to oh, Lenae,

1103
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 2: we had so.

1104
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 3: You don't even know where your mind is.

1105
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 2: She was a great guest.

1106
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 4: What do you have to say to the folks as

1107
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 4: your moment of truth as we talk about staying in

1108
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 4: breast on social and political issues and all that good stuff.

1109
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: This is my moment of truth. This is something that

1110
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: she she brought up, Leannae bored. I'm wont to say

1111
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: she Leannee brought up, which I think made the most sense.

1112
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,959
Speaker 1: We presented ourselves as entertainers first, so people were coming

1113
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: to us for an escape, which I completely respect and

1114
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: understand because based on we talked about celebrity decorum, people

1115
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to hear from their entertainers when it

1116
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: comes about politics. That doesn't mean that we don't have

1117
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: a responsibility, but don't expect people to want to hear

1118
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: it if that's not how that you were presented to them.

1119
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 3: Yes, which I understand, but that also leads me to this.

1120
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: People like Lenae are needed, are needed, because there are

1121
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: plenty of uninformed and misinformed people who, if they didn't

1122
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: come across Lenae's page, would not understand what's going on

1123
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: in the very world we live in. Absolutely and it's

1124
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: a shame that everyone has to resort to social media

1125
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 1: to get information.

1126
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: But that's where we are right now. Okay.

1127
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: Before social media was TV okay, and that doesn't make

1128
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: TV any better. And before that it was books. Yeah,

1129
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: so right now social media is the thing. And I

1130
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: want to applaud Linnee for being twenty five, twenty eight,

1131
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: but being twenty five and being convicted with the idea

1132
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: that she has to spread information that she knows, but

1133
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: finding a very entertaining way to spread love and spread facts.

1134
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: You took all the moments of truth because that was

1135
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: definitely gonna be mine. I love that.

1136
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 3: Oh well, then you can piggyback, go over for go ahead.

1137
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, go for it. Did you want to finish

1138
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 2: your thought?

1139
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, I'm just saying my moment of truth

1140
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 4: is that sometimes you have to drown out the noise

1141
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 4: and find the outlets that make information digestible for you.

1142
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 4: And I love that she takes the approach of poetry.

1143
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 4: She's in her parking lot, like she said, you're scrolling

1144
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:53,959
Speaker 4: through it, You're just like, why is this girl sitting

1145
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 4: an empty parking lot? It kind of brings you in.

1146
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 4: And then when you listen to her speak how eloquent

1147
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 4: she is, and how informed she is and how thorough

1148
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 4: she is with her information. You can't help but to

1149
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 4: first admire her but then actually learn something. And I

1150
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 4: love avenues like that because we have a choice with

1151
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 4: what we consume, So why not choose a choice, Choose

1152
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 4: a platform that you know you're going to get good

1153
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 4: information and the delivery is always on point. So shout
