Speaker 1: I want to talk about all kinds of subjects, things
Speaker 1: that people don't want to talk about, especially in my culture.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of things are still taboo. My
Speaker 1: transparency and my honesty can sometimes get me into trouble
Speaker 1: with my team. I'm a very confident woman, and I
Speaker 1: don't care how beautiful a woman is. I love. I'm
Speaker 1: not a hater at all, So I can be standing
Speaker 1: next to a body down woman beautiful and I just
Speaker 1: feel just as sexy as hurt. What up? Everybody? Get that?
Speaker 1: I hope you're all having a wonderful day. Finally, Fault
Speaker 1: is here. And I don't know about you guys, but

Speaker 1: Um damn. I'm I'm very passionate, very passionate person um
Speaker 1: A woman of integrity. Uh just three okay? Uh? Faith
Speaker 1: and hard working I put into And how much different
Speaker 1: would you say you are in your private life versus
Speaker 1: you know, your your public persona. Is there a difference there?
Speaker 1: So that's a good question, Brianna. Okay, So there's cheeks,
Speaker 1: and there's Janney and sometimes Valentina. So let's just focus
Speaker 1: on cheeks and Jennet today. So cheeks is the glitz
Speaker 1: and glam. I love makeup and all this stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: and I love the lights and the wind and singing
Speaker 1: on stage. And it's different, you know from Janet. My
Speaker 1: everyday life is just more at it's you know, I'm
Speaker 1: at home. I'm I prefer not to wear makeup. I
Speaker 1: have my hair up in a bun. I'm wearing sweats.
Speaker 1: I'm running around getting things done. I love doing things myself.
Speaker 1: I love driving by myself. Um, I go eat by myself.
Speaker 1: I've gone to the movies by myself. Um. So I'm
Speaker 1: just I want to say that cheek Ease is extroverted.
Speaker 1: Of course I have to be, that's my job. And
Speaker 1: then Janet is very introverted, like I would rather stay
Speaker 1: at home than go out, you know, and and I
Speaker 1: liked to eat and watch movies. Okay, So cheekies Janet,
Speaker 1: And I think you said, there's Valentina, So tell us
Speaker 1: a little bit about her. What's she like? Okay? So
Speaker 1: Valentina is the bitch? Okay, um Cheeckie is very sweet
Speaker 1: and you know, I am just like all about helping,
Speaker 1: and so is Jane. But you know, here comes Valentina.
Speaker 1: Is like, I'm gonna defend both of you, because sometimes
Speaker 1: we're kind of like pushovers, you know. And Valentina comes
Speaker 1: and brings out the middle fingers and let it be
Speaker 1: known you feel me. She don't come out that much.
Speaker 1: I try to suppress her with meditation. Well, I haven't
Speaker 1: met Valentina yet, and I'm a little bit scared, but
Speaker 1: I can tell you cheekies has a heart of gold.
Speaker 1: From what I've known so far, is genuine through and through.
Speaker 1: And you know, we have a couple of things in common.
Speaker 1: We are both La Natives. You grew up in Long Beach,
Speaker 1: which it is, Michigana. You love your coultura. You're all
Speaker 1: about culture. What's your favorite thing about NUESTRAA Wow, my
Speaker 1: favorite thing about um Damn. That's a hard one too,
Speaker 1: because it's just like, there's so many favorite things. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love the food, I love, you know, I want
Speaker 1: to say the music. I want to say the music.
Speaker 1: There's so many different um sounds, so many different instruments,
Speaker 1: and what you feel when you listen to our music,
Speaker 1: it could go anywhere from BANDA to regeton to I
Speaker 1: think that our music is so beautiful, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, I just I want to say that
Speaker 1: that's probably one of my favorite things about our culture,
Speaker 1: amongst other things. But that's my favorite. Oh my gosh, yes, food,
Speaker 1: music definitely some of my favorites too. What would you
Speaker 1: say is the best advice you've ever been given by
Speaker 1: your late mom? Music icon Jenny RIVERA shout out to
Speaker 1: my mom up in the sky. Um these times are
Speaker 1: so difficult, like fall in winter, because this is when
Speaker 1: we lost her, you know, so you bring her up
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, you know, but it's a good thing.
Speaker 1: That's my mom, and I'm proud of who she is,
Speaker 1: what she's accomplished, and what she's done in my life
Speaker 1: and still is doing in my life and so many lives.
Speaker 1: But um, anyway, she taught me so many things. Um,
Speaker 1: the biggest lesson I want to say is not to
Speaker 1: be a victim of my past. Of what I've gone through. Um,
Speaker 1: I've been sexually molested, I was sexually messing by my dad. Um.
Speaker 1: And then obviously her and I had some situations growing
Speaker 1: up as well. It was difficult. She was we're fifteen
Speaker 1: years apart, so we grew up like sisters. So she
Speaker 1: would always say, oh my gosh, why are you so
Speaker 1: like You're not like me? You know, I was like
Speaker 1: a straight a student and this and that. So we
Speaker 1: always had actually you didn't come with Emmanuel. But she
Speaker 1: taught me that no matter what I've gone through, don't
Speaker 1: feel don't be a victim of the past. That does
Speaker 1: not define you. So I think one of those things
Speaker 1: where I'm like, Okay, no matter what has happened in
Speaker 1: my life, if I have to keep going, she'd be like,
Speaker 1: if you fall, you get back up, you brush your
Speaker 1: shoulders off. And that's what's helped me. I think that's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I'm still where I'm at
Speaker 1: despite the criticism and all that stuff, you know, the
Speaker 1: adversities I've had to face. Yeah, and you know you're
Speaker 1: so open about that and open about sharing so many things.
Speaker 1: And that's what I believe it's going to make such
Speaker 1: a great Cheekies and Chill podcast. Is you just being
Speaker 1: real and honest? And you know you did mention that
Speaker 1: this time of year is difficult because it's the anniversary
Speaker 1: of your mom's death December nine. You know, how do
Speaker 1: you all still honor her despite you know the fact
Speaker 1: that we've lost her. Yeah? You know what, for me,
Speaker 1: it starts in October. I lost her on October two,
Speaker 1: and then she left in December. So all these months
Speaker 1: they're always really emotionally heavy. And you think it's going
Speaker 1: to get better because it's almost nine years, but I
Speaker 1: it's that's my mom, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: I missed her all the time. It doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: old I am. I still need her advice, you know, um,
Speaker 1: and we do our best to honor her. For me
Speaker 1: and personally, it's having my siblings together now they're older.
Speaker 1: Now I can't necessarily tell them what to do. They
Speaker 1: all have their lives or have their children, they have
Speaker 1: their things or jobs. Before it was like we have
Speaker 1: to be together. We have to like watch my mom's
Speaker 1: favorite movies and you know, her favorite foods. And now
Speaker 1: that they've gotten older, I've learned to respect their decisions.
Speaker 1: You know, I can't force them anymore. And now with
Speaker 1: issues that are going on in my family, we used
Speaker 1: to get together and you know, Karanda drink some tequila
Speaker 1: because as my mama, she loved a party. You feel me.
Speaker 1: But now that things are a little different, Um, I
Speaker 1: think this year, whoever wants to come over to my
Speaker 1: house will be welcome. I always let go, like I
Speaker 1: always let a balloon go into the sky and I
Speaker 1: write her a message. You know. We we've had that
Speaker 1: tradition for all these nine years. So we haven't really
Speaker 1: talked about it, to be honest, for this year because
Speaker 1: things are kind of weird. But I'm hoping I could
Speaker 1: be with my siblings. That would make me really happy.
Speaker 1: And speaking of siblings, you are the eldest in your
Speaker 1: family and I'm actually the youngest, so very different experiences,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, and I'm curious to learn from you about
Speaker 1: some of the hardest parts, some of the easiest or
Speaker 1: best parts about sort of existing in that role. Oh
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Okay. So growing up as the
Speaker 1: eldest was at first very difficult. I would ask my
Speaker 1: mom why, but why am I the oldest. She's I
Speaker 1: don't know, talk to God, because she's like, you're the example.
Speaker 1: You have to be an example to your siblings, and
Speaker 1: they're going to follow everything you do. And I was
Speaker 1: always the second mom, and sometimes to my mom, I
Speaker 1: was a mom, you know, because she was so young
Speaker 1: and she had me sewing, she had all of us
Speaker 1: so young, so she kind of want to wanted a
Speaker 1: party and do her thing. And I'd be like, hello,
Speaker 1: you have kids, and she's like, well, um, that's why
Speaker 1: I have you. So I was like, what the heck?
Speaker 1: Growing up it was difficult, but now I'm so grateful
Speaker 1: that I'm the oldest because now instead of it looking
Speaker 1: looking at it as a chore, I look at it
Speaker 1: as a beautiful thing. It's it's a responsibility. But I
Speaker 1: love to set the example for my siblings and show
Speaker 1: them everything that I'm doing and how I don't give
Speaker 1: up and my perseverance so that they can also follow
Speaker 1: that hopefully, you know. I'm like, so, it's it is
Speaker 1: a huge responsibility. There was a lot of pressure growing
Speaker 1: up and still there is because my mom always told
Speaker 1: me you are the oldest, you have to keep your
Speaker 1: siblings together. I want you guys to be different from
Speaker 1: my family, from my siblings. I want you guys to
Speaker 1: be united. And if you guys fight, you sit down
Speaker 1: and you talk that sh it out, you know. And
Speaker 1: I feel that responsibility like right here. And now they're
Speaker 1: all older and have a mind of their own. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, this is hard. I'm like, Mom, help me. Literally,
Speaker 1: I pray. I'm like, help me with Johnny. What do
Speaker 1: I do? Like, help me with the kids? And I
Speaker 1: just I just pray for patients and I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: help me. But I love it, honestly, would not change
Speaker 1: it for the world. I love being the oldest sister
Speaker 1: and being a friend. Now was always like a mom
Speaker 1: to them. Now I'm that sister, you know, And and
Speaker 1: I never really had that, so it's kind of cool. Um,
Speaker 1: but times I do wish I had like an older sister,
Speaker 1: just sometimes not all the time. All Right, we gotta
Speaker 1: get into a little bit of dirt here, and I
Speaker 1: need to know about your love life, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: transition a little bit into um men women relationships. But
Speaker 1: you know, as your manager, Mr Bull likes to say
Speaker 1: you are every man's dream girl, and I think for
Speaker 1: a lot of women as well. I think you know,
Speaker 1: he says, Oh my god, he says that. He says
Speaker 1: that nice, Mr Bull, thank you. He's right here with
Speaker 1: me that you say I'm every man's dream girl, Mr Bull.
Speaker 1: My dad a Jerky's such a dad. I love him. Yes,
Speaker 1: So what do you think it is that men and
Speaker 1: women physically love about you? You know what? Physically I
Speaker 1: want to say. The first thing that attracts him is
Speaker 1: my ass. You know. It's kind of like, oh, she
Speaker 1: has a fat booty, you know. Um, I want to
Speaker 1: think it's my personality, you know what I mean? But
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm a very confident woman and I
Speaker 1: don't care how beautiful a woman is. I love. I'm
Speaker 1: not a hater at all, so I can be standing
Speaker 1: next to a body down woman beautiful, and I just
Speaker 1: feel just as sexy as her, like I'm I am
Speaker 1: all thicker. But whatever I said, you know, I just
Speaker 1: I think that when you walk with confidence and you
Speaker 1: you have your head held high and you feel beautiful,
Speaker 1: like people feel that and that attracts men. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter your size. And I learned that very early on
Speaker 1: in my age because my mom always like that. So
Speaker 1: I learned that from her, and now I've tried to
Speaker 1: teach my sisters that and now it's like Jackie is
Speaker 1: so confident, Jennica, she's blossoming right now. So I think
Speaker 1: it's that it's probably my confidence be like, oh, look
Speaker 1: at this girl. She thinks she's you know, she thinks
Speaker 1: she the ship. Yeah, I'm a little bit. And where
Speaker 1: does that confidence come from? You would say from your mom,
Speaker 1: because you know, like all women and you know, latin
Speaker 1: As we struggle with body issues. We don't always wake
Speaker 1: up feeling the prettiest some days, right, But where do
Speaker 1: you find that confidence to like shine? You know what? Initially, yes,
Speaker 1: I learned it from my mama. I saw her. Um.
Speaker 1: She was a thick woman herself, and she was confident
Speaker 1: and never had a problem with gin men. You know. Um,
Speaker 1: But as I've grown, I've learned that true confidence comes
Speaker 1: from knowing who you are. Knowing who you are and
Speaker 1: knowing where you're going, having goals, having knowing that makes
Speaker 1: you so powerful. Yo, I don't go around trying to
Speaker 1: hurt anybody or watch my back because so so I
Speaker 1: think that all of that helps me just be confident.
Speaker 1: You know, a woman that I am and the woman
Speaker 1: that I strive to be every single day. I want
Speaker 1: to be the better version of myself every day. And
Speaker 1: I think that gives you a different type of globe too,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, so we know what men like about you?
Speaker 1: What do you love physically about men? I guess what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is does size matter? Okay, look
Speaker 1: we're going there now. Size to me, it doesn't it? Okay,
Speaker 1: wait hold on, let me answer this correctly, because I've
Speaker 1: had different penises sizes just okay, God, so I think
Speaker 1: the right the right. Maybe a question is do you
Speaker 1: like it longer, thicker like girth? Is it? Is it better? That?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But to me, I've had
Speaker 1: a partner that it wasn't that big ish you know,
Speaker 1: but he handled you know, orally perfectly and he knew
Speaker 1: how to work with what he got. So it kind
Speaker 1: of like it really doesn't like, I don't feel like
Speaker 1: you need to have a big penis in order for
Speaker 1: me to be satisfied. It's like how you want to
Speaker 1: satisfy me? You know what I mean? Okay, cool, perfect,
Speaker 1: perfect sense. Yes, but I'd prefer girth anyways, go ahead,
Speaker 1: girth to length two inches, friends, girth two inches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's okay. So my next question, so you have basically
Speaker 1: grown up in the spotlight, in the public eye, first
Speaker 1: because of your mom and now because of yourself. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're a singer, you are an author, you are a
Speaker 1: business owner, you're all of these things, and I think
Speaker 1: that with that comes very little privacy. So can you
Speaker 1: tell us how you cope with that? You know, Um,
Speaker 1: sometimes people tell me you have no right to ask
Speaker 1: for privacy because you are exposing your life. And I
Speaker 1: don't like that because obviously, yes, we had reality. I
Speaker 1: was in reality. That's how I started my career in
Speaker 1: reality ten years ago. But um, you grow from that,
Speaker 1: and I learned a lot from that. I learned, like, wait,
Speaker 1: there are certain things that I just don't have to
Speaker 1: talk about. It's okay for me to keep this private,
Speaker 1: my relationships maybe, or just a lot of things that
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, if you ask me, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, you know what I mean. I'm very transparent,
Speaker 1: but there are things that I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I just rather not talk about this. Now I have
Speaker 1: that voice and that confidence to say wait a second no,
Speaker 1: before I felt I had to. You know, Um, sometimes
Speaker 1: it gets a little frustrating. Um, just because I want
Speaker 1: to go to Disneyland or something, and I don't get
Speaker 1: frustrated from the fans. I love taking pictures. I'll never
Speaker 1: say no. But I feel bad for the people that
Speaker 1: are with me because we get stopped and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and I think that can get a little frustrating for them.
Speaker 1: And that frustrates me because I'm like, damn, I feel bad.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, hey, if you're around with you know
Speaker 1: what you're getting yourself into. And this is my job.
Speaker 1: And I love these people and they pay for my bills.
Speaker 1: They helped me, you know what I mean, they and
Speaker 1: and and that's why that's how I see it. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's it's hard to get to
Speaker 1: have privacy. And do you ever feel like you're being
Speaker 1: too open? You know? Um, maybe to my management, I
Speaker 1: share too much, um, But for my standards and who
Speaker 1: I am and what I've created on my social social
Speaker 1: media platforms and through my reality shows and through my music,
Speaker 1: I feel like I share enough, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: There's other things that I couldn't share, but I my
Speaker 1: transparency and my honesty can sometimes get me into trouble
Speaker 1: with my team, you know, because you're like, oh, you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be saying that, you know, But I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: I'm still human. I'm still a woman before a singer,
Speaker 1: before X, Y and Z, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: And um, but no, I think that sometimes I can
Speaker 1: even share a little bit more. To be honest, I've
Speaker 1: kind of held back a little bit because it was
Speaker 1: a rough year for me, so I've kind of held everything,
Speaker 1: you know, to my self, a little bit of everything
Speaker 1: but some things. But no, way, I think that that's
Speaker 1: the place to do it. Have that that direct contact
Speaker 1: with with your followers. Yeah. And you know, I'm interested
Speaker 1: to know because you post these like incredible pictures and
Speaker 1: sexy pictures and you know you're You're revealing a lot
Speaker 1: of yourself, and it seems that all those pictures make news, right,
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, is this too much? Like stad has
Speaker 1: knew that or this? And that you know, like a
Speaker 1: like the confidence to post that is already huge and
Speaker 1: you've talked about that. But is there backlash? You know,
Speaker 1: are the trolls coming for you and are like shaming
Speaker 1: you in some way? And how do you deal with that?
Speaker 1: You know what to se I think and I've learned that.
Speaker 1: You know, this career is a learning process. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you that it's crazy because I can. I can
Speaker 1: post a picture that a girl that is way skinnier
Speaker 1: than I am, a size two, assize four, the same
Speaker 1: exact picture, and I look vulgar because I'm thicker. But
Speaker 1: if a thinner girl does it, it's not that much
Speaker 1: of a big deal. And that's what I'm not okay
Speaker 1: with because why why? Because I have cellulite, because I
Speaker 1: have thick thighs, because I have a fat ass, I
Speaker 1: can't do that. I can't feel sexy in my own skin.
Speaker 1: And that's those are the things that I want to
Speaker 1: break because there are so many women like me and
Speaker 1: I want to be and represent us. You know. Obviously
Speaker 1: there's always room for improvement. I always want to look better,
Speaker 1: I want to work out, I want to lose weight,
Speaker 1: but in reality, this is the body God gave me.
Speaker 1: And I've never really been skinny, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So that's what bugs me and I do get backlash
Speaker 1: because I, like Bogardo, is that I'm just like dude, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm a thirty six year old woman. I know I
Speaker 1: may not look it, you know, but I'm a thirty
Speaker 1: six year old woman that feels good about her body.
Speaker 1: And I don't have kids yet, and maybe when I
Speaker 1: have kids, that's going to change. But that's part of evolution,
Speaker 1: you know. But that's where we have the responsibility with
Speaker 1: our children to say, wait a second, teach them certain things,
Speaker 1: and I'd be a very open mother. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't agree with certain things that I'm criticized for.
Speaker 1: But well, no, I think it really does come down
Speaker 1: to size. I think there's my size bothers them sometimes.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. So you're clearly very confident, comfortable in your
Speaker 1: own skin. You embrace your curves, which is obviously fantastic,
Speaker 1: and um, I guess my question is do you ever
Speaker 1: feel the need to conform to Western beauty standards now
Speaker 1: that I've gotten older. No, When I was younger, yes,
Speaker 1: I wanted to look like the girls on the magazine.
Speaker 1: Now that I'm in the business, I know that that's
Speaker 1: all kind of a facade, you know. Now, I know
Speaker 1: photoshop exists and all that stuff, And you know, I
Speaker 1: don't feel like I have to conform or or or
Speaker 1: be what I am who I am, and I'm beautiful
Speaker 1: in my own unique way, you know. And I've i've
Speaker 1: now that I'm older, and I just I'm more comfortable
Speaker 1: with it. So we talked about size, yeah, right, and
Speaker 1: men loving your um backside, right, I love. I love
Speaker 1: my producers. They're just like you know, your backside, love it,
Speaker 1: trying to keep it clean. So I'm sure a lot
Speaker 1: of people want to know, especially the men and maybe
Speaker 1: a lot of women out there. Are you single? Do
Speaker 1: they have a chance? Can they slide into your d
Speaker 1: M s? What is the relationship status? You know, even
Speaker 1: if I if I'm married or I have a boyfriend
Speaker 1: or single. Guys do not care. Let me tell you.
Speaker 1: Let me start off with that. Guys are crazy. They
Speaker 1: don't care. They always feel they have a chance like,
Speaker 1: oh you can get divorced, Oh you don't have kids
Speaker 1: yet or whatever. And I get it, and I've gotten
Speaker 1: it for years. Even this one guy one time, he
Speaker 1: told me that he wanted to suck a fart out
Speaker 1: of my butth hole? Can you believe that way? Did
Speaker 1: you say fart? I'm sorry, girl, that is just too much,
Speaker 1: that's what he said. Anyways, But I am not single.
Speaker 1: I am not single. I haven't been for for a minute. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not single. Guys, Okay, So where did you meet
Speaker 1: this special someone that you are calling your boo ma
Speaker 1: boot thang? Okay? So I met him for the very
Speaker 1: first time last year in May. I've never talked about
Speaker 1: this guy. So this is exclusive on my podcast Chickens
Speaker 1: and Chill. So I met Emilio his name is Emilio
Speaker 1: in May and I did a song called Joline with
Speaker 1: Becky g and Becky was in the middle of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Quarantine was like really really strict and we had to
Speaker 1: do the photo shoot and the video for it, and
Speaker 1: she said, look, I only feel comfortable with my photographer
Speaker 1: and you know, um, that's who we have to use
Speaker 1: because he's already you know tested the whole thing. I
Speaker 1: know he's he doesn't have COVID, so I said, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: and I had my own photographer, but I was like,
Speaker 1: that's fine, let's just do it. He came to my house,
Speaker 1: he set everything up, and when I saw him, we
Speaker 1: saw each other, it was just like whoa Like I
Speaker 1: was like there was something there, but I was very heartbroken.
Speaker 1: I was that that was the beginning of my separation,
Speaker 1: um my ex husband uh in May, he had already
Speaker 1: moved out of the house and everything, and um, I
Speaker 1: was very heartbroken. So I was kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's cute, but I was like, I don't even want
Speaker 1: anything to do with anybody right now. I had one
Speaker 1: of my guys though, one of my my makeup artists,
Speaker 1: actually asked him, hey, you know, I asked him if
Speaker 1: he's married. He said no, he wasn't married, you know,
Speaker 1: So that was it. We left it at that, and
Speaker 1: he always tells me he's like that day, like I
Speaker 1: thought there was something going on. And when I was leaving,
Speaker 1: you were so cold and so like nonchalant, like okay bye,
Speaker 1: and I really he's like, yeah, you gave me this
Speaker 1: half half asked a hug and I don't remember because
Speaker 1: I was like, my mind was everywhere. I was literally
Speaker 1: like heartbroken. So that happened. That was me. Lorenzo and
Speaker 1: I tried again, uh in July. It was in June
Speaker 1: he was gone, so so July we tried again and
Speaker 1: so we you know, we tried it all up until
Speaker 1: oh September, I'm lying, Okay, is Lorenzo your X. Yes,
Speaker 1: Lorenzo's my X. LaRenzo was my ex. Um. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: going through through a divorce right now, so we were,
Speaker 1: we were it was really rocky since we had gotten married,
Speaker 1: so we were going back and forth. Finally we called
Speaker 1: it off in September. I was just like I'm done,
Speaker 1: and you know, went through it was really bad. November,
Speaker 1: December was horrible. Then comes January started feeling better, and
Speaker 1: then in March. I remember March one, I had a
Speaker 1: surprise party for Becky g. She was she's really good
Speaker 1: friends with us. We see each other as family and
Speaker 1: my sister and I had a surprise party for her
Speaker 1: at my house, and I honestly had forgot kind of
Speaker 1: about Emilio, you know, and he had actually told me
Speaker 1: that he was following me. And then unfollowed me because
Speaker 1: he saw that I didn't follow him back anyways. That's
Speaker 1: a little side thing. Yeah, He's like, you didn't follow
Speaker 1: me back. So I was just like, whatever, you didn't
Speaker 1: even repost me, Like when he was posting Jolene and stuff.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, I don't know. Anyways, I was
Speaker 1: in a relationship. So then in March, um she you know,
Speaker 1: her mom invites her peeps and Emilio is one of them.
Speaker 1: Again that same thing that happened the first time. I
Speaker 1: was coming out of my glam room and he was
Speaker 1: coming inside of the house and we looked at each
Speaker 1: other and we're like again like that feeling of like
Speaker 1: this connection. It was crazy and we were talking and everything.
Speaker 1: And then later on during that night, I just told him, hey,
Speaker 1: can I poke your dimples because he has really pretty dimples,
Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, you could do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: I said, all right, his own. So we kissed and
Speaker 1: that's how it happened. So, Brianna, I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but my invitation to Becky Gee's party got lost in
Speaker 1: the mail. I got lost. I didn't get one. I
Speaker 1: don't know a lot. Talked to Mama ge Mama she was.
Speaker 1: She was, Yeah, she was in charge of inviting. But also,
Speaker 1: do you feel do you believe in this that like
Speaker 1: the universe kept putting you guys together, like kept finding
Speaker 1: ways for you all. To me, absolutely, I I believe
Speaker 1: in everything. Everything happens for a reason. It might sound
Speaker 1: a little cliche, but I truly believe that. And if
Speaker 1: he came into my life, it is for something, for
Speaker 1: a reason, whether we end up together forever or not.
Speaker 1: I'm learning something from him and he's learning something for me.
Speaker 1: I will be very honest. That day, March one, I
Speaker 1: had decided that I was going to remove I. I
Speaker 1: used the i U D the copper I U D
Speaker 1: for as birth control for many years, and I took
Speaker 1: it out that day. I took it out that day.
Speaker 1: I had gone to the doctor and I told myself,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna date. I'm not gonna, you know, have
Speaker 1: sex with anybody. I just want to go on dates.
Speaker 1: I was going to go on like dating apps. And
Speaker 1: then he came into my life, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: think it was God saying hold up, girl, and he
Speaker 1: came into my life and it was just this instant
Speaker 1: connection and and we we hit it off. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So, yeah, absolutely, everyone comes into your
Speaker 1: life and they're here to teach you something. I wanted
Speaker 1: to know what was the first thing that you noticed
Speaker 1: about in media that you were like, oh, I need
Speaker 1: to like kiss him tonight. Like what was it that
Speaker 1: like drew you to him so quickly? The first time
Speaker 1: I met him at the photo shoot, it was his eyes.
Speaker 1: I remember telling him, well, you have beautiful eyeballs. He'll
Speaker 1: never forget I said, eyeballs. Um. The second time I
Speaker 1: saw him in March, it was his smile. I love
Speaker 1: his smile and his dimples. It just it's captivating, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, WHOA like that? He just has wonderful just
Speaker 1: teeth and just all this you know, mouth area is
Speaker 1: just very nice. Alright, alright, so as I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to kiss that boy. Good to know. You know,
Speaker 1: I have a little confession to make on the hugging situation.
Speaker 1: I've had guys told me that before too, Like if
Speaker 1: the hug isn't like a tight, powerful hug, goodbye, they
Speaker 1: get like sad and they don't like rejection. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's what he felt. All right. Well, that
Speaker 1: was tons of fun, uh, lots of nuggets of information
Speaker 1: in that previous segment. Now we're going to be moving
Speaker 1: on to something similar but a little bit faster paced.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be uh, something like a rapid fire Q
Speaker 1: and A. Are you ready for this? I kind of.
Speaker 1: I don't really like these, but I'm gonna do it
Speaker 1: because I love you guys. So fine, let's go. All thanks,
Speaker 1: you know we love you too. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: First question, do you kiss on the first date? Yes? Okay,

Speaker 1: do you more than kiss on the first date? I have? Okay, funk.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, right, you have to be I have,
Speaker 1: I have. I want to say I have, because again,
Speaker 1: live your life, do whatever you want. No judgment here. Um,
Speaker 1: I have though I have done more than a kiss
Speaker 1: on a first date, but I didn't like how it
Speaker 1: made me feel. So I'm just like I'd rather not
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But got that in. But
Speaker 1: I do kiss. I need to know. If you can't kiss,
Speaker 1: we can't go on. I mean, why even like try

Speaker 1: I want to talk about all kinds of subjects, things
Speaker 1: that people don't want to talk about, especially in my culture.
