WEBVTT - Introducing "Hand Me My Purse"

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>What's up, y'all. My name is Mimi Walker, and I

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>am the resident Auntie Supreme over at Handing My Purse

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. Now, if you're not familiar with Handing My Purse,

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a podcast that takes a deep dive into the

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>nuances of black culture, whether we're talking about social emotional wellbeing,

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the culture itself and its significance in our community as

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>well as the global community, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health,

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>as well as all of the many life experiences that

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>we are faced with every single day of our black lives.

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's funny to me that there is an

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 1>unspoken understanding that black aunties are truly the backbone of

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>our communities and of their families. And Auntie doesn't necessarily

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>have to be your mom or your dad's sister or

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>even a blood relative at all. Really, and Auntie is

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>anyone close to you or your family that can offer

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you a space where there's safety, security, guidance and supreme

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>wisdom that oftentimes other family members just can't provide. That's

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>my answer to everything you need a Black Auntie that

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>because Black aunties are the bomb of Gilead, Black aunties

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>heal everything to the best of their ability, and what

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>they can't heal, they're going to offer you the resources

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to figure it out, or they're gonna take you to

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>where you can go get healed. Okay, The concept of

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you handing your auntie her purse serves as a catalyst

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>for action, and it can change the atmosphere, can change

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole energy in the room. And you know that

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>when your auntie digs in that purse and pulls out

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever she's about to pull out, that she is about

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>to bless your life in some way. With this show,

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I vow to be a comforting, funny, sometimes inappropriate, but

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>always authentic voice. I want us to seek out and

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>create the safe spaces for one another so that we

0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>can begin to get comfortable having uncomfortable conversations in our commies.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's pretty much what this show is. It's a

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>conversation with your favorite auntie and that's me, Me, Me

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Auntie Memi. And as you listen, I want you to

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>talk back to me. Now, of course I won't hear

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you what in the world is that? But it's really

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the thought that counts. Right. Also, why to stop? So

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>if you are old enough to have been in love

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.399
<v Speaker 1>with new edition in the early eighties, but still young

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>enough to have a playlist on Apple Music that's filled

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>with trap music, then this is a show for you.

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.160
