0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, right, fifty year is is a long time.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Right, Oh my god, speaking of spending years with shoes

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and purses. I just I have been purging my closet, yeah,

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>for a few months now because I actually built a

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>new closet in my house. I turned one of my

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>guest bedrooms into a closet. But I have got rid

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of so much stuff, Like it's so crazy how much

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we accumulate.

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't you feel good about it?

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I do, because it's like, I mean, bags and bags

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>and bags of clothes and shoes and handbags. And I'm

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 1>just like, why do we accumulate so much stuff? Why?

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like, so how often do you purge.

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 3>When I just feel like my closet is getting overrun.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, okay, maybe like twice a year.

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you have shoes that you've had for like

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>longer than ten years? Yeah?

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:35.399
<v Speaker 2>I do?

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, I mean I have. There's still some shoes

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and bags and stuff that I can't depart with that

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I've had for probably damn near twenty years almost. But

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 1>then there's somewhere it's just like you think about how

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>much money you paid for them. They were designer whatever

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>at the time, and it's like you almost get mad

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>at yourself, like I can't believe I paid much for

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>these shoes and I wore them twice and they've been

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>in my closet for ten years or however long, Like

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>this is ridiculous. It's just so I've been going through

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that emotionally, just letting go of stuff

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that I'm like, I spent a lot of money on it,

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 1>but I haven't worn it, and it's got to go.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Let it go.

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 3>The exciting part about today is that it's International Women's Day.

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Today is not the day, but it is happening reasonably.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 3>Shady is so excited that we're able to like honor

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>women like, uh yeah, that's what we need to be doing,

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 3>honoring some women and you know my shady moment, because

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 3>that's how we always start this episode, has to do

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 3>it little women call my children?

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>What did they do this time?

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 3>First of all, they're like money in their little car

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 3>that they call stink bug. The all change light was on, okay,

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 3>so I was like, okay, guys, I'll take it in

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 3>not a.

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Rout, I take it. And this car is rather old.

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Right, and they're like, oh man, you we can change

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 3>the oil for you. But the oil is leaking into

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 3>the oil pan and you know, engine transmission.

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>It's this, it's that. So I was like, what does

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>that mean to me?

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.840
<v Speaker 3>And so they were like we I think we need

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 3>to like handle this problem okay, which was going to

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 3>cost thousands of dollars.

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's just start there.

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 3>But I'd rather my kids be safe than sorry. Yeah,

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 3>so just handle it, they said.

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Cool. I go to the little people.

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 3>I live with the little women, and I say, hey,

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 3>your car is not gonna be ready for two more days.

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 3>They fell out like they were like actually like it

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 3>was an atomic bomb.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Their hands were on their heads. There was screaming at

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>the top of their lawns.

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:06.080

<v Speaker 3>You're supposed to fix all problems, like ma, like why

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 3>would they need the car for two days?

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:18.640

<v Speaker 3>Monday it was still in there. Yeah, And they said

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 3>they didn't know when it was.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Going to be done.

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 3>I keep forwarding the text message that they send me.

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 3>I send to them and for whatever reason, it's my fuck.

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 3>And so I'm like, girls, let's be clear, I'm spending

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.160
<v Speaker 3>thousands of dollars on this stupid car that y'all call stinker, right,

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 3>so deal with the fact that y'all need to be

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 3>appreciative number one. Number two, if you don't.

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Have a car for five minutes, calm down, be Okay,

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.360

<v Speaker 2>this happen? Why?

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>But they've only been driving this car for how long?

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>They act like? Right?

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Five minutes? Okay, So these little women need to get.

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 3>It together, right, Oh my god. Yeah, they have it

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.479

<v Speaker 3>couldn't believe their reaction. They just like lost it.

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So would you because I know, like you went out

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>of town recently, would you let them drive your car

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>while you're out of town?

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 2>No, they don't.

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 3>They actually didn't want to drive my car because they

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 3>feel like it's too big and they would definitely wreck it. Okay,

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 3>So they're fearful to drive my car, which is creat Okay.

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.479
<v Speaker 3>They will wait for sick buck to be back and

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 3>stride again, okay, Okay.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they wanted to put a band aid on it,

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and then the band aid would all off and the

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>thing would fall apart.

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Now, but everybody relaxed, calm down, it's okay, Okay.

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 3>So there are some women that I want we need

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to talk about, especially when it comes to.

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Contributions that they.

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Have done in science and in math and there's like

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 3>some bad ass women out here, and.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they don't get their duke, Robbin. They

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>do not get their duke right.

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 3>The next time, Robin, that you use your navigation in

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 3>your car or any navigation software like Google Maps, you

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 3>can thank doctor Gladys West, who is actually a black woman.

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 3>He's the inventor of GPS technology. Gladys West. Now have

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 3>you ever heard that name before? Have you ever like

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>nos that ever been on radar? Like if we don't

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 3>have navigation, we're scrossing.

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Right, And I'm just thinking of how significant that invention

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and convenience is because you think back in the days

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>when you had to pull out the paper map and

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, write down where you were going first. I

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>think when I started driving, that was when like map

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>quests was useful. So was she? Did she contribute to

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the map quest stage or more to like what's on

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>our smartphones and in our vehicles now?

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I think what's in our vehicles now?

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Because she help invent software like Google Maps, So Google

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Maps is kind of like what's what we use today.

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's the inventor of GPS technology.

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Like, right, every day, I use my GPS tech every day,

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.239
<v Speaker 3>every time I get in the car, So thank you, Gladdys.

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I mean it's amazing. It's like don't you wonder

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>how that works because it's like where it shows you

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the traffic. I use it every day too, even if

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I know where I'm going, because I want to see

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>what the traffic is like. And that's just yes, So

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that's even amazing. It's just you can you can get

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.959
<v Speaker 1>to your destination but also get to it in the

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>quickest way possible. That's yeah. No, Gladys is the bomb.

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I would love to like, I would love to know

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>more about her, you know what I'm saying, like where

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>does she go to college? And what was Like how

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>does she get in this field? I always think when

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you think about technology, you don't see a lot of

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>women in the technology field, Like how did she get there?

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Maybe she got in there kicking and screaming, or maybe

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 3>she got in there because somebody, you know, realized that

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 3>without her technology, they had.

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>To let her in.

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know her back story, but like even with

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 3>the ladies from Hidny Figures.

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember that? Do you remember that movie?

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, those ladies NASA did not want to use their knowledge.

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 3>They didn't want to respect the fact that they had

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 3>the knowledge. They didn't want any parts of these black women,

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 3>but because they were so bad what they were doing,

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 3>they had to acknowledge them.

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>They had to give them the job.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 3>They had to find a bathroom for them to use

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 3>as they're at work doing their job. Like all that

0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 3>kind of stuff is insanity. My dad worked for NASSHA, yeah,

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 3>and he was just like.

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, these women were real. Harry Dorothy was one of them.

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.599
<v Speaker 3>And Barack Obama gave the Congressional Gold Medal, which is

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 3>the highest honor presented by Congress to a civilian, to Darden,

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:18.840
<v Speaker 3>who was at that time she was seventy seven and

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 3>she's now the only living hidden figure. This was back

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty. I'm not sure now there was Catherine Johnson,

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 3>all of these ladies. I can't even what's crazy is

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 3>I can't even like put my finger on how smart

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 3>they are because it's.

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Like space aviation, yeah, like all of it.

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.959
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, uh uh it is mind blowing, right.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>We can't even wrap our head around the just what

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 1>they had to learn in order to do what they do.

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm you know, I worry about putting makeup

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>on and you know, oh, let me watch a makeup tutorial. Meanwhile,

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you have you know, women like this who you know.

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like you wonder like what inspired them to get

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 1>into the field, but also just how does your brain

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>work to even comprehend what is going on and then

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to make advancements in the field. It's crazy. I mean,

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just and I thought I was a smart math student,

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>but there's no way I can grasp what they learned.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>So your father was very familiar with them, Yes, yes, absolutely,

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. In the movie was never made, we would

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 1>still never know about them, right, Yeah.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the sad part. Yeah.

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 3>I think women are the most underrated people walking. I

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 3>think that forever and still to this day. The fact

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 3>that we are paid pennies on the dollar to what

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 3>men are paid for the same job is an absurdity,

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know, when I look at because there's

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 3>there's some women that talk out talk about it publicly.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's I know, Gabrielle Union from the entertainment industry,

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Reese Witherspoon, Viola Davis.

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 2>They speak publicly about like, look, this is just not fair.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 3>I read something that it's going to take a century,

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 3>a century, Robin for us to be equally paid.

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 2>With the rate we're going as men. And I have daughters, so.

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like why yeah.

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah in the black women, like, you know, we can't

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 3>get if women. If white women are eighty five cents

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.079
<v Speaker 3>on a dollar, we're like.

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Sixty sixty yeah, right, So the gender pay gap. White

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>women earned eighty two cents for every dollar a man makes,

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>African American women earned sixty cents, and Latina's earned fifty

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 1>five cents for every dollar earned by white non Hispanic men.

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.199
<v Speaker 1>And the additionally, only eight eight percent of fortunate five

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred CEOs are women. And it's so crazy because women

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>are just so brilliant. There were geniuses, we're hard workers,

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>we're no nonsense, and this disparity still exists, which is insane.

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>And it's like, we are proven to be smarter. We're

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 2>smarter than men. I ain't no question about smarter than men.

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine can you imagine if women actually were

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>in power politically, you know, President President, you know, imagine that.

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Imagine how beautiful our country would be. We would not

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 1>be this delighted.

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 3>We would have beautiful flowers planted all over the place.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.080
<v Speaker 3>We have beautiful trees. There would be peace and be peace.

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Everybody would be eating. Education would be through the roof.

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Like.

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Think about all because typically teachers are more women than men.

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Think about if they were paid properly, right, let's pay them.

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Come on, y'all, we got to do right.

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 3>There's so many people that you know, I always want

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 3>to give a shout out anytime I talk about like women,

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 3>I always want to give a shout obviously to my mom,

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 3>who was you know, huge role model and example in

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 3>my life.

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.599
<v Speaker 2>She always pushed me to be the best that I

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 2>could possibly.

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Be, always affirmed that the sky's the limit, that there's

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 3>nothing that I should ever be scared of or that

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 3>should ever let stop me from getting anything that I

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 3>wanted to do. And I appreciate that and that I

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 3>have instilled in my daughters. And you know, I probably

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 3>instilled it too much because these these girls do just

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 3>think tell them anything.

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 2>But you need like strong women in your life.

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Listen, my mom, every every day, Robin and I did

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 3>not pick this up as a mother, but every day

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 3>there was food on the table. She have a hot,

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 3>fresh meal that was like not a repeat for like

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 3>thirty days, right, and.

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Now that I am a mother, that is like phenomenal.

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>It is like it is.

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>She made sure we always ate together as a family, right,

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 3>Like that is still so much character and self worth

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 3>and value in me that I didn't appreciate it at

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 3>the time, of course, but that's not.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>The point, Like it was amazing.

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Right of course. Of course if with my mom, I

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 1>always admired watching her be an entrepreneur, and I think

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that rubbed off on me because I

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>would sit and watch her work, and you know, my

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 1>play time, especially by myself, would be to like pretend

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 1>like I owned a store, and so like everything, I

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 1>would put a price tag on everything, and I have

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>my little pretend customers and I'm ringing them up. And

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>because I'm watching my mom. She didn't, she didn't have

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a retail store, but you know, I'm watching her deal

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>with her clients and the people who you know, came

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>in for business. And it definitely rubbed off on me

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>to the point where I knew that as I got older,

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to have a business for myself. And

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, you didn't see a lot of

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>back then. You didn't see a lot of female business owners,

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>especially black female business owners. And so anytime I see

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a female entrepreneur who has grown their business, you know,

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>especially from the bottom to to you know, great success.

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>You have Camille Rose, the hair care products that are

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>sold everywhere. The owner of the founder of that, her

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>name is Janelle Stevens. I mean, she has built that

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>brand from her kitchen, you know, just making hair products.

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>And so for me, women like that really inspire me

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, oh, okay, like I can do that.

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, you saw me on the Real

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 1>house host Potomac come up with an idea for satin

0:16:55.040 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>line hats and that was just a natural entrepreneurial idea

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 1>that to me was inspired by watching other women have

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.159
<v Speaker 1>ideas and just go for them. And so always have

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:10.959
<v Speaker 1>to shout out women who just go for it.

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and even with what we do, like we're housewives

0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 3>and we came, you know, Potomac came, but six years

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 3>after New York and Atlanta and Beverly Hills and OC.

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:30.439
<v Speaker 3>So I would look at like a candy burst like

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Kenny was so inspirational from a business perspective.

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, she's on this housewives show.

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 3>She came in already as a you know, Grammy winning

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 3>singer and just started started like building businesses, right, yeah,

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 3>and it's so inspirational. We look at like Kyle Richards,

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 3>I remember she had all of her stores, even Vicki

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Goldleson you.

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Know with that like insurance company.

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and that was an industry that you didn't

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.199
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of women in in insurance. And for

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>her to own the agency, not just to be an agent,

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that was that was pretty significant and impressive.

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, even you know, in the past we've had we've had,

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, things to say about Bethany Frankel, like from

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 3>a business perspective, you know, she started her Skinny Girl,

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 3>she sold the company for a coatrillion dollars and that

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 3>is just inspirational for us coming into the industry also

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 3>housewives and seeing what we can do to benefit us

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 3>from a business perspective outside of what we're doing on

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.719
<v Speaker 3>the show. And you know, I've actually talked to Candy about,

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, off camera, about her being truly inspirational, especially

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 3>the black women, you know, and Candy like does it

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 3>all she like had the bed broke Candy she oh

0:18:55.040 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 3>my gosh, Kady Cody lights, yes, and it all worked

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 3>and now she has like all the restaurants and you know,

0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 3>she she took that platform and she made it.

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Work for her businesses, which is respectable.

0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, And it's inspirational not just to us as housewives,

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.639
<v Speaker 1>but to women viewers who are watching the show and

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 1>they're saying they're seeing, Okay, I can reach for other things.

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I can do other things. There are other opportunities out

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>there for me. I can make things happen for myself. Yeah.

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that's one of the beauties of us being

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 1>on reality TV and taking risks and showing our lives

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and really just doing things and sharing it with people,

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 1>is that we are able to influence and inspire other

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.760
<v Speaker 1>people and give them ideas. I mean, I've i know,

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, just from the business that I start that

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>people saw me start on the show. I've had people

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:55.920
<v Speaker 1>reach out like you know, how do you start? Where

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 1>do you go? And it's just great for people to

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>actually see like, no, this is this is something that

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>you can really do yourself, and if you really, really,

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.560
<v Speaker 1>really really put the time and effort and energy into it,

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you can build it into something amazing. Along the lines

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>of entertainment, I want to talk about women in sports,

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:28.560
<v Speaker 1>particularly in male dominated sports. So we now are seeing

0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 1>more and more women on the sidelines in the NFL,

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the NBA particularly, There's a woman named Sandra Douglas Morgan

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>who was in the past few years appointed to be

0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the president of the Oakland Raiders in the NFL. So

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 1>she is the first, yes, the first black female team

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 1>president in the NFL. And that's major because in the NFL, yes,

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean for a long time, t is only white

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 1>men that dominate the NFL. Or if there is a

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>woman involved, it's because it was passed down in her family,

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>or she married into it, or it was her father's

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 1>team or something like that. And so to see a

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 1>woman in the front office the president of the Oakland Raiders,

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 1>that is amazing. A couple other women who have done

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 1>amazing things that women typically haven't done in sports. Lamar

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Jackson is a you know, the best quarterback in the

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 1>world from the Baltimore Ravens. Instead of hiring an agent,

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson hired his mother to negotiate his contract. Yeah,

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>no way, yes, m So. Her name is Felicia Jones.

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And he held out, Like with the Ravens, he was

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>up for a new contract, and they held pretty firm

0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 1>for a long time, and he was able to get

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a five year, two hundred and sixty million dollar contract,

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.359
<v Speaker 1>and he put his trust in his mother, Wow to

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>help him negotiate his contract. Another female agent who helped

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts get at the time, it was like historically

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the largest contract extension in the NFL. Her name is Nicolelon.

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>She is one of my sorority sisters. She's a Delta.

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.360
<v Speaker 1>She helped Jalen sign a two hundred and fifty five

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>million dollar contract. And so those are rooms, Yes, those

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:35.119
<v Speaker 1>are rooms that women were never in, like you never

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.399
<v Speaker 1>heard of anything, especially to that degree. And so I

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>love seeing stuff like that because women love sports too,

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and women can make good decisions for sports teams, and

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 1>we don't have to only work in women's sports. We

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:55.159
<v Speaker 1>can we can be great contributors to men's sports. And

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm grateful that some of these teams and

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 1>these athletes are putting their trust women. I've actually seen

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.840
<v Speaker 1>female coaches on the men's side as well. I think

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 1>there's a female.

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Works with the commanders.

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I believe yes, on the computer staff basketball. There is

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a female on like the Wizard's staff. I think she

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>was a player, so she was like she played in

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the w NBA Christy Tolliver and then they let her,

0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, coach during the NBA season. So it's I mean,

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the sky is really the limit for women. But we

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 1>still are facing a huge pay gap gender inequality. But

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're getting there. We're getting there.

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I want to tell like the good old boys, like

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 3>the the the rooms that are filled with nothing but

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 3>all white men.

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Aren't y'all tied of talking to each other? Aren't y'all

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 2>tired thinking the same? Aren't y'all tied.

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Having the same dumb ass conversation like don't you want

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 3>a different perspective? Don't you want to be able to

0:24:03.960 --> 0:24:07.920
<v Speaker 3>know what like the other gender that you actually live

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 3>this life with is thinking.

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Like wouldn't you want that? Wouldn't you want the diversity?

0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't you want the other walks of life?

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:21.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand why they are so hell bent about

0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 3>not letting anybody else in.

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:24.280
<v Speaker 2>It's sad.

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I think the easy answer is it's

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a power thing. They want to just maintain power. But

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the smart thing would be to realize women

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>are huge decision makers in their household. They drive the economy,

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and so it would be behoove everyone to involve women

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in the decision making process because we're actually going to

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 1>make sure that things are done right the first time,

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>and that it's inclusive, and that it's you know, attractive,

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>all of that type of stuff. And so I'm not

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 1>sure want to take away anything from any men, but

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 1>to think that they can do everything without women's contributions,

0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just ridiculous. And like I said, if not only

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 1>in politics, but across the board, if women were in

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:19.360
<v Speaker 1>positions of power or leadership, not just in politics, but

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 1>business and whatever else and entertainment, I think we would

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 1>be further, much further along in all of those industries.

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 2>So what one hundred percent?

0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, look how long it took to get

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 3>any woman in the White House.

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Any woman?

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it took I don't what, two hundred thousand years.

0:25:44.520 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, we appreciate you sys you got the weight

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:51.239
<v Speaker 3>of the world shoulder, but like it and it was

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I feel like Joe had his backup against

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 3>the wall when he decided to make a woman his

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 3>running mate, Like he didn't have a choice in the issue.

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.119
<v Speaker 3>I think Jill like them up in the closet and

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 3>it's like, this is what you don't do, right, you

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 3>don't do the women. But like they thought for.

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 2>That, like it, you know, it's nice.

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 3>It makes me feel a sense of comfort when I

0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 3>know that we're being represented and decisions that affect the country. Yes,

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 3>women's thoughts.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Just at the table, right, like let us let us

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 2>it's okay men, it's okay, right.

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:30.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just because we're making decisions for things

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>that pertain to women, like women's reproductive rights and all

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:36.720
<v Speaker 1>of that type of stuff, like yes, but it's it's

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>across the board, like no, we need to contribute everywhere

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in every every segment, technology, infrastructure, whatever, business. I mean,

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just but but to think that there are men

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:55.120
<v Speaker 1>making decisions for women in our bodies and all of that,

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>that's just that's listen.

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.439
<v Speaker 3>One of the reasons why I started every year was

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.920
<v Speaker 3>because men make make.

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Up right for women.

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, I don't know what the hell you're doing.

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Think God Finity came along because you know, at least

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:13.359
<v Speaker 3>we know that Rihanna is you know us, and she

0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 3>understands our skin and she's a woman and she gets it,

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 3>but like men should not have any say really in

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 3>things that's pain to women.

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a male gynecologist.

0:27:25.800 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Or female female? Of course? Yeah, of course yes.

0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:33.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't want a man down there looking at them stuff, right,

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 3>if I have cramps or if I'm not feeling well

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:40.360
<v Speaker 3>going through my pregnancy, all of that. Like she understands

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:43.120
<v Speaker 3>what I'm what I'm feeling, she understands what I'm thinking.

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 2>And she could be my advocate.

0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 1>But think about I mean, I know when I was younger,

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 1>I really didn't know if many female gynecologists, And just

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>think of so think about how far we've come in

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that field. It was because the medical field was dominated

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 1>by men, and so men could get into the gynecological

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:05.640
<v Speaker 1>field because it wasn't that many women in the medical

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>field period, which was insane, but no, it was we

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:13.439
<v Speaker 1>were I was blessed, my mom was blessed to have

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a female gynecologist, and I just you know, went to her,

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:19.679
<v Speaker 1>and all of my gynocologists have been females. Yeah. I

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:22.439
<v Speaker 1>saw a post on Instagram recently. It was like a

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 1>tweet and some man, I think he was a politician,

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 1>said something about birth control is not a healthcare expense

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and a woman responded to his tweet, like, birth control

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 1>helps control my hormone issues, you dim with, so it

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 1>is a health expense, Like it is related to my health.

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not just about preventing me from getting pregnant like

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>it actually is. Like so, it's just like men are

0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:59.400
<v Speaker 1>just making they're they're making statements and they're making decisions

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 1>based on stuff there aren't even informed about. And that's

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>just wrong. And that's why we need to continue to

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 1>address the inequality, the gender inequality everywhere. And that's why

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.719
<v Speaker 1>women need to continue to do what they're doing, and

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 1>we need to continue to inspire, and we hope all

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:21.239
<v Speaker 1>the young ladies that come after us are watching and

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>being motivated to act.

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Funny story about your you went to the gnecologists of

<v Speaker 2>here when you're like one hundred and.

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Two, right, I mean, that is like a very intimate

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 1>person in your life.

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, Like, will just bounce from.

0:29:58.520 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Colleges to colleges.

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, for sure.

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I did have one. Oh I hated it. I was

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 1>in Toronto, Wan was playing for the Toronto Raptors and

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I was pregnant with Corey and I ended up having

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to go to a It was the only gynocologists really

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>up there because they have like free healthcare and so

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 1>things were a little bit different. So it was a

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.680
<v Speaker 1>male gynocologist that I went to because for whatever reason,

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't find a female and I was so uncomfortable.

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 1>It was I was just like, oh no, like I

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.959
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do this, and like, luckily he was

0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:38.280
<v Speaker 1>traded before Corey was delivered and I just came back

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>home to my female gynecologist, thank god.

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:30:42.440 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was like, oh no, I don't want this,

0:30:44.480 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not.

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't you know.

0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of male gynecologists make a living,

0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not trying to discourage anyone, but it's just

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:54.840
<v Speaker 1>good to have that option to go to a female

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 1>when you're dealing with your reproductive health.

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and they need to get paid the same Oh okay,

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 3>absolutely so do you feel like there's any other woman

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 3>in your life that like stands out as like somebody

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:12.560
<v Speaker 3>that has mentored you or helped you through.

0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know anything.

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, especially I'm thinking, you know, you were an NBA wife,

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 3>and that is like a lot to navigate. I think

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 3>of Charise, like, I'm sure Charise was like very very

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 3>motherly and mentory to you.

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like in the NBA you have wives who

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to have your own career if your husband

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>is a professional athlete because the husbands, you know, aren't

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 1>in the same city all the time. Like you might

0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 1>be in your playing city for eight months out of

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the year and then you go back to your home

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 1>base for four months out of the year, and then

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you might get traded to another city. So it's really

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 1>hard to establish, you know, any type of career or

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 1>business when you're a professional athlete's wife. So I was

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>always inspired by the ones who I saw who actually

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>had their own business or had their own career despite

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>their husband being a professional athlete. So a lot of

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:18.600
<v Speaker 1>women would get into real estate, you know, because you

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>can kind of take that wherever. There would be some

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>women who would be teachers, you know, back then you

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 1>still didn't see a whole lot of like entrepreneurs or

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:30.880
<v Speaker 1>business owners as far as like e commerce and stuff.

0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know, now, I think if I was, if

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>one was in the NBA today and we're in the

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.800
<v Speaker 1>same situation, I would probably establish some sort of e

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 1>commerce business that you know, where you can just sell

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 1>from wherever. But I was fortunate to work for my

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:56.760
<v Speaker 1>friend Abba Klile, who has a prestigious successful PR firm

0:32:56.840 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 1>in DC, and we would do PR an event and

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I was able to work remotely. This is actually like

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the first time even I even realized you could do

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 1>stuff like this, so I would work. I was living

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 1>in Portland, Oregon, working remotely on events that ABBA's clients

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 1>were having in DC. So like De Beer's was doing

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 1>a grand opening, what another jewelry store, like we were

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>planning really big, nice events, and so working for Abba,

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 1>just watching her work, watching her schmoons. Her business is

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 1>called TAAPR an a male dominated industry in DC, and

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>she's an African woman, so a white male dominated industry

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:47.520
<v Speaker 1>in DC. She's a black African African woman who had

0:33:47.520 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>a very successful PR business. Being able to work for

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>her and seeing her navigate that industry with such class

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and such like great execution. I mean her her services

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 1>top notch, her business, her events are top notch. Her

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>clients got what they needed out of the PR you know,

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:14.480
<v Speaker 1>for the in the PR world from her. That always

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:18.000
<v Speaker 1>inspired me just to see how she was able to

0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 1>navigate like such a conservative town in being a black

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:23.760
<v Speaker 1>African woman.

0:34:24.960 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I love, I love, and I love you know,

0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:31.880
<v Speaker 3>she's always just like a great resource. But yeah, I

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 3>never I never thought about I mean obviously, I know,

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:36.279
<v Speaker 3>obviously I know she's a black woman, but I never

0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:40.799
<v Speaker 3>thought about how that industry is so male dominated, white

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 3>male dominated.

0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, okay, I.

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't be like our inspirational sister up the the I mean,

0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:50.840
<v Speaker 1>her clients ranged like a high end designer Carolina Herrera

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and I said, De Beer's and now she's working with

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the top chefs of the world, the Gordon Ramsey's and

0:34:59.800 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the Philip Chow and you know, any new restaurant that

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 1>comes to d C, the high end restaurant, that's her

0:35:07.600 --> 0:35:12.080
<v Speaker 1>client almost And so to see her just do what

0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:15.239
<v Speaker 1>she does and look, I always say like, once I'm

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 1>finished with Housewives, I'll just go back and work for

0:35:18.200 --> 0:35:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Alba because I actually I was working for her. Season one.

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>It was a lot, like we had so many grand

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 1>openings going on. And then season two we started filming.

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 1>It was like two weeks into filming, I was like,

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I have to quit my job because I just didn't

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:40.920
<v Speaker 1>have the time to devote to our clients and to

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 1>film until I had to quit. And so you know,

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 1>I always I have an open I always have a

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:48.759
<v Speaker 1>job waiting for me to go back to.

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Because you know, I want you to give me like

0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 2>into the into the restaurant opening.

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, can you give me a reservation?

0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:59.920
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean it's just been like such inspiration and

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 1>a blessing to watch an actual friend, a close friend,

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:05.280
<v Speaker 1>build her business and be one of the top pr

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:07.520
<v Speaker 1>agencies in the city of DC.

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:09.560
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I love it.

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:12.360
<v Speaker 3>When I first got married and you know, I married

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 3>a pastor and I didn't know what on earth I

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 3>was doing, and I was like throw thrown into like

0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 3>the world of first Lady and whatever that means for

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:26.239
<v Speaker 3>a mega church. I just remember like there were you know,

0:36:26.280 --> 0:36:29.279
<v Speaker 3>I always had like Jamal's mom, you know, married to

0:36:29.360 --> 0:36:31.719
<v Speaker 3>Jamal's dad, who was a big time bishop at the time.

0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:37.840
<v Speaker 3>There's always just women that knew like I'm struggling, help me.

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 3>There's like Patrice Ellis who's married to Bishop Neil Ellis.

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.680
<v Speaker 3>She's She's been a face to me, like even to

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:47.800
<v Speaker 3>this day, Elaine Flake, Joanne Browning, like they would always

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 3>give me love, check on me and just like make

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 3>sure that I was okay.

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:56.960
<v Speaker 2>And we just kind of check on in with each

0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 2>other because.

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:03.440
<v Speaker 3>It's actually sometimes very difficult to be a woman in

0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 3>this country and every now and again, we just need

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:08.840
<v Speaker 3>to check on each other so that you know, that

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 3>is my advice to all of us, like check on

0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:12.359
<v Speaker 3>each other.

0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree. And you know a lot of women

0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 1>look at each other as competitions, so you know, or

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to see another woman in their lane

0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 1>doing better than them. And so but I think the

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>only way we really win is if we encourage one another,

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 1>we support one another, we lift one another up, we

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>share our resources with one another. I mean, there's room

0:37:32.600 --> 0:37:34.879
<v Speaker 1>for everyone to eat.

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Everybody. Yeah, everybody. We're going to get out of here,

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 3>but reasonably. Shady is celebrating International Women's Day this week.
