Speaker 3: based off of just obviously what they saw, and they
Speaker 3: don't have the full story.
Speaker 2: And am I wait? Never out of my lady? Be

Speaker 4: It's Black History Month, a time to honor, reflect, and
Speaker 4: celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of.
Speaker 2: Black throughout history.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, let's take a moment to discuss the significance
Speaker 4: of Black History Month while we celebrated, and what it
Speaker 4: personally means to each of us. To me, it's recycling
Speaker 4: the black dollar, supporting a black business. That's what Black
Speaker 4: History right now means to me.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of black businesses and supporting we are on
Speaker 1: a show that highlights black ones. Yeah, you know, it's
Speaker 1: on Netflix right now, Wax and Witches. So thank you
Speaker 1: so much for supporting us, y'all tune in. But it
Speaker 1: does show who we are as black women, and there's
Speaker 1: we're multi fascinted, so like, tune in to us also
Speaker 1: off the show, but also like in our personal space.
Speaker 2: Y'all can see what we tap into Instagram.
Speaker 1: Show the show, you know, but you we are so
Speaker 1: multi fascinate. And I love being a black woman.
Speaker 2: I love you know.
Speaker 1: I love my black children, I love my blackness. So
Speaker 1: this month, even though it is the shortest of all
Speaker 1: the months of the year that would that's what makes
Speaker 1: it rare. We are rare, we are beautiful, we exude essence.
Speaker 1: So I just want to say shout out to the
Speaker 1: ladies sitting here on this panel. Y'all are the definition
Speaker 1: of black excellence. So you are so shout it out.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: Thanks lex I agree, I think representation matters. I think,
Speaker 3: you know, being on a platform night like Netflix is
Speaker 3: huge for us. And I think having our own platform
Speaker 3: here as Humble Batties is huge because the reach that
Speaker 3: we have, Like there's so many young black women, young
Speaker 3: black men too, who are tuned in and are listening
Speaker 3: and watching, and you know, they're looking at us, they
Speaker 3: look up to us, and so I'm just grateful to
Speaker 3: have this platform. This is what our ancestors spot for.
Speaker 3: So for me, that's what you know Black History Month
Speaker 3: is for.
Speaker 2: And also I.
Speaker 3: Love to always plug HBCUs. Y'all know, I went to
Speaker 3: test University, so every chance I get, I always like
Speaker 3: to shout out, you know, tell your kids about the
Speaker 3: hvcus and why they're so important to our culture, to
Speaker 3: tradition and to our history. So I like to, you know,
Speaker 3: tell my kids take them to the schools. There's so
Speaker 3: much history. Tueski University in itself is a museum and
Speaker 3: they're sacred to us. So we can't we can't forget
Speaker 3: about those those important things that make us who we are.
Speaker 4: My daughter be going to family Yeah, okay, yes we
Speaker 4: got to go to homecoming. Yes that's fun for sure,
Speaker 4: for sure. But and shout out to Shannon Sharp. Let's
Speaker 4: support black businesses. We have our special cocktail. The cocktail
Speaker 4: will disclose it using shade by La Portier Fortier. So
Speaker 4: thank you Shannon Sharp, Thank you all Nightcap for the
Speaker 4: amazing cognac.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 4: I promise you it would not put hair on your
Speaker 4: chest late.
Speaker 2: Like you did your thing with that one.
Speaker 1: I loved having a nice cognac though, like to finish
Speaker 1: the evening I saw my father have, like, would like
Speaker 1: to pour a nice little bit over some ice and
Speaker 1: just reflect on the day.
Speaker 2: You know, it becomes like a ritual of just like,
Speaker 2: you know, just being able to ease into.
Speaker 5: You know, legs, sue the kanyak, you feeling nice and yes,
Speaker 5: the warm notes, the vanilla, that caramel, the big.
Speaker 2: Black ice, big black, big black, not thett we do
Speaker 2: nothing a little over here, like nothing little over here.
Speaker 1: Okay, but this is the time to highlight black businesses.
Speaker 1: This is time to use the black dollar in the
Speaker 1: in our households. We thrive so much, we have become entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: We have our own businesses, and black dollar moves. When
Speaker 1: we stopped, our dollar ship shuts down, like it really
Speaker 1: does shut down. We are power in numbers, so exercise
Speaker 1: you're right to use that black dollar. And we've been
Speaker 1: dealing with some things in politics recently with the diversity
Speaker 1: inclusion situation.
Speaker 4: Trying to pull away come on the d from from
Speaker 4: our schools.
Speaker 1: Yes and DEI if those who don't know it stands
Speaker 1: for diversity, equity and inclusion, and you know it is.
Speaker 1: It was put in place to help entrepreneurs that are
Speaker 1: starting up from nothing and have a platform, i e.
Speaker 1: Your targets, your costcos they're these initiatives that the corporations
Speaker 1: have put in place for us. And it's unfortunate now
Speaker 1: that it's becoming removed. You can't go and find what
Speaker 1: you need for us. Like our hair is different, our
Speaker 1: face is different, our colors are different, our essence is different.
Speaker 1: So shout out to all the black entrepreneurs that are
Speaker 1: out there that are starting their businesses, that are helping
Speaker 1: us like create just the narrative of look, we can
Speaker 1: do this too, and we're going to support you. We're
Speaker 1: there for you and help like key continue looking at
Speaker 1: different programs that help funding grants and scholarships that continue
Speaker 1: your dream.
Speaker 2: Don't let anything like this stop you. That's right, elevator.
Speaker 2: But we have to fight against things like this because
Speaker 2: we do.
Speaker 3: People think that DEI is just for you know, helping minorities,
Speaker 3: but it's also for people who have disabilities, you know,
Speaker 3: come on now, who have autism and things like that.
Speaker 3: It was put in place so that they could get
Speaker 3: hired in these big corporations. So people think they just
Speaker 3: see race and it's not about that. It's such a
Speaker 3: bigger picture and people tend to always focus on the
Speaker 3: race part of it and it's not that.
Speaker 2: So you know, that's why we're fighting for these things.
Speaker 2: That's why you have to really vote in your local elections,
Speaker 2: right because it really is going to affect us.
Speaker 4: I think, so this is off script what we're going
Speaker 4: to do, and I decided the ladies are going to
Speaker 4: support me. We want more black businesses. So What we
Speaker 4: want you guys to do is to email us a
Speaker 4: short paragraph. We want to sponsor a small black business.
Speaker 4: Twenty five hundred dollars we're going to give away to
Speaker 4: a small black business to help either kickstart or or
Speaker 4: market your business. So send it to Humble Baddies Podcast
Speaker 4: at gmail dot com a quick paragraph of why you
Speaker 4: deserve the twenty five hundred and we're going to donate
Speaker 4: to a special.

Speaker 4: We have to support more of our businesses because a
Speaker 4: lot don't. It could take five hundred dollars and they

Speaker 4: to support you guys because we want to see you

Speaker 4: It's okay, it's a shame by Laportier.
Speaker 5: I love the.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what do y'all think of this outcome of Netflix.
Speaker 1: Let's be real with the people. I know they want
Speaker 1: to know, y'all. Y'all, y'all think about overall, it's been
Speaker 1: what a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Now it's been wait when.
Speaker 3: To be honest with y'all, I was not expecting the
Speaker 3: reaction that we got from the people, or from from family,
Speaker 3: from the viewers, okay, from the from the viewers. When
Speaker 3: I watched it, I was like, Okay, this is interesting,
Speaker 3: Like it's not exactly what I thought the final product
Speaker 3: was gonna be.
Speaker 2: Because we don't see it by back there. We don't
Speaker 2: see it exactly. Let's make it clear.
Speaker 4: Because I have consulting producer credits, I have no say
Speaker 4: so overcast, overhas edit over anything.
Speaker 2: It's just, hey, I have an idea.
Speaker 4: I went to a production company picture it to them.
Speaker 4: They was like, okay, you get your credit and that's it.
Speaker 2: Boom you out of it. So my girl ain't got
Speaker 2: nothing to do it.
Speaker 1: What y'all saw, it's no puppeteering, it's no maneuvering, it's nothing.
Speaker 2: Never out of my name like you won and the
Speaker 2: moon was okay.
Speaker 3: So what I was just most surprised about is a
Speaker 3: lot of the things that we did film I didn't see. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so what you do see is it's kind of
Speaker 3: hard to really form the actual like to get the
Speaker 3: full story because so much was left out.
Speaker 2: So when I watched it.
Speaker 3: I still was it like, oh, okay, this is interesting,
Speaker 3: but I didn't feel the same reaction, I guess because
Speaker 3: I knew what.
Speaker 2: Actually really happened.
Speaker 3: Right, So the viewers, I feel like, got a story,
Speaker 3: you know, based off of just obviously what they saw
Speaker 3: and they don't have the full story. And it did
Speaker 3: come off obviously that me and Cheryl were like mean
Speaker 3: girls and that there was like us against them type
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 2: And I hated the.
Speaker 4: Fact that they said, you wrote my coattail, right, you're
Speaker 4: your own person like this, I'm.
Speaker 2: Just a female.
Speaker 3: I'm very much my own person, Like I have my
Speaker 3: own family, my own businesses, my own life going on,
Speaker 3: and a lot of it was filmed and a lot
Speaker 3: of it was not shown. So I feel like me
Speaker 3: being your friend and I am a very direct person association.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just kind of like lumped me in with
Speaker 2: whatever you had going on.
Speaker 4: But you know, the thing about it that people don't
Speaker 4: know we both served in the army, right, That's another
Speaker 4: thing that comes Those females who serve in the army
Speaker 4: are very direct. We're taught once we go through training,
Speaker 4: lead and simple, you have to leave.
Speaker 2: You was an officer, right, you had.
Speaker 4: She had soldiers, high ranking soldiers up under her. I
Speaker 4: was a senior and listed, so we had to get
Speaker 4: straight to the point.
Speaker 2: And that's where did it. I think that's where people
Speaker 2: get the oh, you you're a mean girl. But no,
Speaker 2: we're just direct about how we feel and what's going on.
Speaker 4: And I feel like with a lot of the females
Speaker 4: they sugarcoated some of the things how they felt.
Speaker 2: They didn't know how to let it let it out.
Speaker 3: But see that part of it, I think is us
Speaker 3: having experience being on reality TV. Because for me, I'm
Speaker 3: just showing up to do my job. I'm showing up
Speaker 3: to show my reaction, to tell you what's going on
Speaker 3: in my mind, like and to entertain at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, because you have.
Speaker 4: To be extra, you have to like you feel like
Speaker 4: at a five, but you got to go to like
Speaker 4: ninety five.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It is a reality show, and yes it does snapshots
Speaker 1: a reality but there's so many more seconds and hours in.
Speaker 4: The day for hours for hour, they chops the scenes
Speaker 4: down to like two minutes, and they shout out to
Speaker 4: editing because that's what their their job is to do,
Speaker 4: is to edit, is to cut it's to create.
Speaker 2: They edited a little bit.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm just saying people were doing
Speaker 1: their job. They were doing their job. So at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it is a snapshot. It is
Speaker 1: very instant, you.
Speaker 3: Know, and they're going to create whatever story is going
Speaker 3: to have the people talking, and y'all motherfuckers.
Speaker 2: Talking and thank you for that. We accept dialogue, okay.
Speaker 4: But y'all have to understand y'all are not getting like
Speaker 4: the whole story honestly, truly, and I feel like it
Speaker 4: for me, it was a little upsetting because a lot
Speaker 4: of people are following me from you know, my past
Speaker 4: show and you know, just following me over years on
Speaker 4: social media and they're like, who is this person?
Speaker 2: Like, like what happens?
Speaker 4: Then?
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 3: So it kind of like broke my heart to see
Speaker 3: like people have this reaction like, oh, you're not the
Speaker 3: person that I thought you were, you know, because they
Speaker 3: only saw like one opinion I guess you know, of me.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was a little it was a little
Speaker 3: heartbreaking at first. It was a little shocking, I would say,
Speaker 3: at first, I just wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 2: It's a new feeling, Yeah, it is. It's a feeling.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a feeling that I never felt before. Exactly.
Speaker 4: I'm not mad about it. The only time I you know,
Speaker 4: it crossed the line when you come from my kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't play. Let's let's just talk about that
Speaker 2: for a second.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, we are public figures, and respectfully, y'all
Speaker 1: really just don't know us. And I'm gonna say this
Speaker 1: very I don't want to speak for y'all, but I
Speaker 1: know I can speak.
Speaker 2: For y'all in this this tone. Family is off limits.
Speaker 2: Our children. We love our families.
Speaker 1: We we we work tiresly to support them, surround them
Speaker 1: with love, we educate them, and it's disrespectful when you
Speaker 1: start to come for our families. Y'all don't really know
Speaker 1: us like that. And when it comes to that, we
Speaker 1: are lying. Essa's we we show up for each other.
Speaker 1: We show up for our family, and this has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with them.
Speaker 2: Okay, y'all. We're big, we're big girls.
Speaker 1: We're big women at our big ages, you know, big
Speaker 1: old big ages, big old ages, gentrified whatever the cults are.
Speaker 1: But we low key, we're human too, you know, and
Speaker 1: you know we we really are just very proud of
Speaker 1: where we are as women, as where we are as
Speaker 1: just our big.
Speaker 2: Old ages, So keep the kids out of it.
Speaker 4: I think my biggest thing is if I could go
Speaker 4: back and change anything. Remember I don't have control over
Speaker 4: this show. I wish they could show more instead of
Speaker 4: me coming off because I don't like how I was
Speaker 4: portrayed like I did come off, and I don't appreciate
Speaker 4: how it looked me stepping outside and not knowing what's
Speaker 4: going on on the inside.
Speaker 2: It didn't look good, you know, approaching Stone it.
Speaker 4: Because for you to say that and recognize that, Charrell, Yeah,
Speaker 4: because I don't. I have kids, and it does come
Speaker 4: off like I feel like I'm better than her, and
Speaker 4: y'all know I'm not like that.
Speaker 2: I'm not that type of female. But I did have.
Speaker 4: My holebacks on why the reason why I didn't want
Speaker 4: to deal with her, and it definitely didn't have to
Speaker 4: do with a sex sape, and they didn't show that,
Speaker 4: and that was my biggest issue. It made it seem
Speaker 4: like it was a sex sake revenge porn. No, she
Speaker 4: which was in the forefront, right, she didn't have control
Speaker 4: over that sex sake, correct, But I feel like looking
Speaker 4: at it from a TV point of view, they needed
Speaker 4: to introduce her. So all the other stuff, what I
Speaker 4: had reserved while I was reserved from her didn't matter.
Speaker 4: The thing that mattered from a production point of view,
Speaker 4: what's her sex sake, because that's what she was known
Speaker 4: for to big public figures were attached to that, sick
Speaker 4: take and wrongs, so of course they had to highlight that,
Speaker 4: and Loki, we.
Speaker 2: Forgot that there are moving parts of this too.
Speaker 1: This was a brought up issue that does surround her
Speaker 1: in her storyline and just very much who she is
Speaker 1: and how she's overcoming it, which Loki could have highlighted
Speaker 1: Stony in a different way too, Hence her boutique, hence
Speaker 1: her searching out for help, and really just some kind
Speaker 1: of you know, she's still open to, like receiving. So
Speaker 1: I feel like it started to triculate a little bit,
Speaker 1: but then obviously for entertainment purposes.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say this, we need a season.
Speaker 1: Two just so we can tie some loose ends, we
Speaker 1: can reintroduce, we can bring out some vibes.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: We just we can really show and highlight Now that
Speaker 1: y'all have got a snippet, a very tiny snippet of
Speaker 1: introduction of who are as cast members. Let's turn it
Speaker 1: up a notch, y'all keep supporting us, y'all keep tuning in,
Speaker 1: and we will have a second season and now we
Speaker 1: know better, we'll do better.
Speaker 3: But you know what I you know, I started off saying, like,
Speaker 3: you know, the comments that we receive are a little shocking,
Speaker 3: but I do appreciate the comments that we're saying, like
Speaker 3: we want to see like your family and see because
Speaker 3: you know, we did film those things.
Speaker 2: So I hope you know, the people they will see
Speaker 2: that and what's really.
Speaker 3: Your wag, right, I hope they see those comments and
Speaker 3: will not cut those scenes out because we absolutely filmed
Speaker 3: family scenes and how we do life and our businesses,
Speaker 3: and you know, the things that make us who we are,
Speaker 3: and you know why we are different and what black
Speaker 3: excellence looks like. You know, the things that you know,
Speaker 3: we really wanted to show because we know everybody's tired
Speaker 3: of seeing like the drama and like, of course there
Speaker 3: has to be colorism.
Speaker 4: I hate that they just if if I can go
Speaker 4: back and change it, I would wish so Tony would
Speaker 4: be a light skinned girl because I hate how the
Speaker 4: fans take the narrative and like, oh, a light skinned
Speaker 4: girl again.
Speaker 2: But that's crazy.
Speaker 3: Take the color that they're saying that though, because after
Speaker 3: Jules's fight she said her little comment about like this
Speaker 3: is my real hair and all that. You know, it's like,
Speaker 3: how would you didn't say anything about skin color or
Speaker 3: anything like that, But you have another cast member that's
Speaker 3: like death comments and they don't say anything about, you know,
Speaker 3: her being whatever she is.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I think people join the trend like they hear a
Speaker 4: certain thing and then they just gravitate to gravitate to
Speaker 4: whoever started that.
Speaker 2: Mean girl, let me.
Speaker 1: In our in our communities. That has been an issue
Speaker 1: for decades. The house in world or the field inward.
Speaker 1: If you're lighter or a paper brown bag test, then
Speaker 1: you pass. So man rapping about red, it's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all know what my children look like. It was,
Speaker 1: it was highlighted on the show. I have all shades,
Speaker 1: I do to all shades. I mean, I got this
Speaker 1: what happened, but this is what happens when you know
Speaker 1: black couples pro creates.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get You're.
Speaker 1: Gonna get everything. Yeah, you're gonna get whatever's gonna come out.
Speaker 1: So the colorism thing was very.
Speaker 2: I think it's touchy.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 2: Throwing, you know, the surface. I hate out of everything
Speaker 2: about the show.
Speaker 4: I hated the colorism because y'all know it's unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I didn't like that. Yeah, that affected me.
Speaker 2: Do y'all really think I was a mean girl on
Speaker 2: the show. I think it's guilty by association. That's what
Speaker 2: I was gonna do. I'm like, it, tell me what part?
Speaker 4: What? What?
Speaker 2: What did I say? You see the thing the last
Speaker 2: the other.
Speaker 1: Side of it shown. It was only one side. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like I thought about it or this is how
Speaker 1: I feel because you know the other.
Speaker 4: But youd TV and the question that you asked to
Speaker 4: shot A was what's I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, to get conversation, it's too But you.
Speaker 4: Never disrespecting any female.
Speaker 2: I didn't. You never had a showed up on time.
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 2: Sony came for you. She did, She was like, oh
Speaker 2: are they swingers like you?
Speaker 4: Never?
Speaker 3: I've never disrespected or said anything negative about anybody. When
Speaker 3: I was asked my opinion about a certain that you.
Speaker 1: Said it, I gave it against act again again, going
Speaker 1: back to directness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just direct about how I feel. If you're
Speaker 2: asking my opinion, I think that's the issue.
Speaker 4: Like people think that directness is equipped it to mean
Speaker 4: it being a mean girl, and that's not true.
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I agree with that. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm a sagittarian. As we get bad reps then you know,
Speaker 2: look it was it was feing. I was like, no, no, Ashley,
Speaker 2: don't don't do that to me. Don't do that to me?
Speaker 2: Was how cool? I was like, no, it's this, I
Speaker 2: promise you. It's a speak easy. It's like a speak easy. No, listen,
Speaker 2: we need to replay that. We need to put this.
Speaker 2: I got a bad memory. It was. It was all
Speaker 2: the why you was drinking. It's all a blur.
Speaker 4: Actually, it's definitely an apple female the bitch be running ship.
Speaker 2: So I don't.
Speaker 4: I hated that part about you because I know how
Speaker 4: you are to call you what I mean, a lap doll.
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, yeah, so we gotta highlight these lap
Speaker 1: dollar minion minion.
Speaker 2: I just worked for Charille. You work for Charille. Let's
Speaker 2: get that clear. So these agents who work the agents
Speaker 2: who work for.
Speaker 4: Me, they are their own employees. They just their license
Speaker 4: are up under mine. I take a commission.
Speaker 2: They do their own job. I don't tell them what
Speaker 2: to do, how to do it whatever. So you house yeah,
Speaker 2: you house this. I'm my broker.
Speaker 3: I'm the broker and they you got to break it
Speaker 3: down for those who do not know, I placed my
Speaker 3: license under her. You know, she takes any liability or
Speaker 3: you know, like got you. I have the insurance if
Speaker 3: they fuck up, that's it.
Speaker 2: See that.
Speaker 4: But they do their own thing. They on their own schedule.
Speaker 4: They get ten ninety nins if you're business. Let her
Speaker 4: actually exactly, she go out. That's how I get paid
Speaker 4: right period.
Speaker 2: Let's be clear.
Speaker 1: Cutting checks, receiving checks, period, that's what's going on.
Speaker 4: Just y'ah.
Speaker 2: The only way I get paid if Ashley go out
Speaker 2: and grind and there we go. So it seems like
Speaker 2: it's a supportive relationship.
Speaker 1: It is because if she is out here doing her
Speaker 1: thing and motivating and bringing bringing back, then you get paid.
Speaker 2: It's win when and I love that.
Speaker 4: The other thing that was an issue a lot of
Speaker 4: people were asking in regards to MJ and Stony, Oh
Speaker 4: MJ ghetto. She always fighting, she this that she the
Speaker 4: third I didn't like that either MJ. I'm responsible for MJ.
Speaker 2: Why she has her license under you again, she has her.
Speaker 4: License up under me, so I have to I can't
Speaker 4: just throw her away. She's young, she's only twenty two.
Speaker 2: I have to got her.
Speaker 4: She has no guidance, so I have to guide her
Speaker 4: and teach her.
Speaker 2: She's in love.
Speaker 4: I don't know if she is or was, but she
Speaker 4: was in love during the time. And we all have
Speaker 4: been there, we all have reat hits. Why I'm glad
Speaker 4: they did show the conversation.
Speaker 1: We're I'm double her age, low key, and you know
Speaker 1: I was forced in this lifestyle at twenty also, so
Speaker 1: I can relate to her. This is different though she
Speaker 1: is in a different industry as far as music and entertainment.
Speaker 1: I was in the sports world being young in this,
Speaker 1: so that's already a nighttime dark cloud. And on top
Speaker 1: of that, you're dealing with being from a city where
Speaker 1: also the father of your children is known to that
Speaker 1: put that city on a map in his own right,
Speaker 1: and so it just comes with a lot of heaviness.
Speaker 2: And I feel like she listens.
Speaker 4: To us. She does, and the reason and this she
Speaker 4: didn't know. I love it, and why I hired MJ.
Speaker 4: It wasn't because of Kodak. It wasn't because of who
Speaker 4: she was. MJ called me, she was like, I really
Speaker 4: want to work for you.
Speaker 2: I look up for you.
Speaker 4: I seen selling Tampa. She practiced a cold call. He
Speaker 4: was like, how does this sound? And like she has
Speaker 4: so much dry She does, but it's like when you're
Speaker 4: young and you're in love, this is.
Speaker 2: A lot of energy for you. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2: See so much in that little girl. I told her.
Speaker 2: I cried like I had tears when we were in that.
Speaker 4: I don't think they showed that, but I was like,
Speaker 4: I used to be you, Like I literally used to
Speaker 4: be you.
Speaker 2: People don't know. I grew up in the projects. I
Speaker 2: was raised in the projects.
Speaker 4: I didn't have ship, which is I couldn't, which is defense.
Speaker 4: It brings tears to my eyes because it's like I
Speaker 4: want so much for her. I'm sorry, but you can.
Speaker 2: You can feel her, you feel her her energy. I
Speaker 2: see so much that girl is. She is amazing. She's
Speaker 2: so talented. She really is.
Speaker 4: And if I can go back and change the hands
Speaker 4: of times, that's why I'm trying to tell her, don't
Speaker 4: make the mistakes.
Speaker 2: That correct because we have been through it all. We
Speaker 2: really have. She has vision shout out to MJ.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tearing up.
Speaker 4: I see so much of myself. I used to fight,
Speaker 4: I used to do all that, but it's not worth
Speaker 4: you have some beautiful baby. You're so talented. She really talented.
Speaker 4: This girl can sell a fucking home. She can cut
Speaker 4: six figure checks for MJ. I witnessed her grinding in
Speaker 4: the studio, like the girl is so talented.
Speaker 2: And taking care of them babies exactly while taking care
Speaker 2: of she.
Speaker 4: To prove to nobody, get out there and hustle before
Speaker 4: it's too late, you know. I I.
Speaker 2: She'sby because that's you. You can say that like this
Speaker 2: is like my little sister, but you can feel it.
Speaker 2: And you gave her a chance, Cherylle, and I'm not
Speaker 2: going to give up on her. No, You're not just
Speaker 2: the stuff that they need to show. That's the beautiful
Speaker 2: lesson to have.
Speaker 3: Our these are relationships in our platform relationship.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and I just pray for season two that
Speaker 2: they allow us to show that. Yeah, MJ, let me
Speaker 2: tell you, like, I'm happy she came to my home
Speaker 2: and listened. That was That was a the full scene
Speaker 2: like it was. She always say, oh you always preaching
Speaker 2: to me, You always preach.
Speaker 5: It to me.
Speaker 2: But that right there, that was my favorite scene. Thank
Speaker 2: you for that. It was she pulled out.
Speaker 1: You know I can relate to her. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. MJ's brave, braver than I am. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something like, I admire your bravery because let me,
Speaker 1: there's been many times I wanted to crash out.
Speaker 2: Many times I want to pull I'm just saying, pull
Speaker 2: up and show out. That's what I did. That's why.
Speaker 2: So she has she has more brave than I am.
Speaker 2: I'm just going I'm just gonna throw that out there.
Speaker 2: So MJ.
Speaker 1: I resonated with you because I saw something in you
Speaker 1: that I did not see in me, in that bravery.
Speaker 2: And so keep that same energy, keep that scene changed. No,
Speaker 2: I'm saying, like, just she heard everybody. Are you gonna
Speaker 2: be fighting her courage?
Speaker 1: Not we not? You know, I don't want I don't
Speaker 1: want to see my girl no more shot and stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. I'm just seeing her bravery.
Speaker 3: We're gonna change energy into courage to something behind herself.
Speaker 2: That's it right now, that's brave because if she be
Speaker 2: fighting every day. You know, it's like all my life everybody,
Speaker 2: but just just just a difference mechanism. She's going through
Speaker 2: some things and we have it's postpartum all of that. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's a lot of energy.
Speaker 4: Like she really she held held that person down when
Speaker 4: they was locked up. She wrote letters to the judge.
Speaker 4: I've seen it all and people don't know that. So
Speaker 4: it's like I gave my all and held you down
Speaker 4: and I come back to this and people don't see that.
Speaker 2: It's like and we can all relate to that in
Speaker 2: some kind of way.
Speaker 1: Disappointment and uneasiness, yeah, and trying to figure it out too.
Speaker 1: You know, we we we all are trying to figure
Speaker 1: it out still, to to figure out to this day,
Speaker 1: all of us are trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2: We're all on this journey together. We sure, are we sure?
Speaker 1: And speak of trying to figure things out? What do
Speaker 1: y'all think about this? Talk of like the soft life?
Speaker 2: You know, I love it. I love it for especially
Speaker 2: us black girls.
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, we're tapping into something that
Speaker 3: other cultures.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's like their norm. Yes you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, And we're like, why not too? You know,
Speaker 4: why don't we discike that?
Speaker 3: You know, I feel like for a long time Black
Speaker 3: women have to be strong and supportive and aggressive and
Speaker 3: assertive and all these you know, strong words, but.
Speaker 4: We can be soft to or how can how can
Speaker 4: you transition to that soft when you've been so hard
Speaker 4: your whole life?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a great question. How can you do it?
Speaker 2: I feel like that's still learn of question.
Speaker 4: That's something I need to answer because I felt like,
Speaker 4: you know, growing up it was hard, and then going
Speaker 4: into the military in a predominantly male division, eighty second
Speaker 4: Airborne Division that has to be hard, yeah, for thirteen years,
Speaker 4: and then going to so calm Afghanistan, It's like, Okay, Now.
Speaker 2: I think it's like a mentality.
Speaker 3: I think it's like a choice of like where you
Speaker 3: want to be mentally, Like a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 3: for whatever reasons, they live in like a survival mode.
Speaker 3: You know, that's because of trauma, you know, past trauma, trauma,
Speaker 3: trauma generation.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: So I think like taking care of that, going to therapy,
Speaker 3: healing whatever part of you that keeps you in that
Speaker 3: survival mode, and then once you can process that trauma,
Speaker 3: you make the choice like this is the life that
Speaker 3: I want to live.
Speaker 2: This is the mental space that I want to be in,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But I love that you
Speaker 2: got to do whatever I think.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm going through that part right now like I
Speaker 4: do go to therapy and I just need to learn
Speaker 4: to say it's okay for the man to take be
Speaker 4: the autpha, but you.
Speaker 3: Have to find some a space where you feel safe
Speaker 3: to do that too. So and I'm not saying like
Speaker 3: a man and to feel space, feel safe, because you
Speaker 3: don't need a man to for you to have a
Speaker 3: soft life. But I'm just saying, like whatever it means
Speaker 3: for you to feel safe, like an environment, the people
Speaker 3: around you, your career, you know, financially, all of that.
Speaker 2: You know, you have to be safe.
Speaker 3: You have to feel secure, you know, in yourself to
Speaker 3: even have a mentality, you know, I think to be
Speaker 3: out of like survival mode.
Speaker 4: I think, I think the secure part I have.
Speaker 2: My problem is it's the fear of.
Speaker 4: Of neglect, the fear of reject the fear fear of rejection,
Speaker 4: all those things that I have.
Speaker 2: To work never out of my name and like you
Speaker 2: won and the more one.
Speaker 1: I feel like over time and to your point, Ash
Speaker 1: and also you Charrelle. Over time, it was always black
Speaker 1: women that had to show up. Our voices were heard,
Speaker 1: our voices were carried. We nurtured, we also nursed, We
Speaker 1: also poured into And to me, it goes back to
Speaker 1: self love, It goes back to self worth. It also
Speaker 1: goes about also saying no, because we have been used,
Speaker 1: we have been stretched to our limits, we have been
Speaker 1: poked and prodded, we have been experimented on because of
Speaker 1: our essence.
Speaker 2: And so it looks it goes back to us.
Speaker 1: Really elevating who we are and knowing who we are.
Speaker 1: So self life to me is breaking generational curses. It
Speaker 1: is talking to people because we used to take all
Speaker 1: of this in and keep it inside and then we
Speaker 1: explode like a volcano. And I'm getting chilled, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying that because we would take so much. But we
Speaker 1: were also leading. We were silent leaders, because as women,
Speaker 1: we were always behind, We were always the backbone, we
Speaker 1: were always the soul, the nurturers. But now times are
Speaker 1: now starting to shift, they're turning because we are needed,
Speaker 1: that's right. Not only are we needed to help rear
Speaker 1: and to motivate and to teach and to show the
Speaker 1: children and the next generation. But we're also needed for
Speaker 1: our men. We're needed to help soften them up too,
Speaker 1: because they're hard. They have these shells. They need to
Speaker 1: be penetrated with our essence and our soul. So I
Speaker 1: look at preach, you know, it's it's real though. That
Speaker 1: is That's what like exudes the soft life for me
Speaker 1: because I've had to like really understand what the power
Speaker 1: of no means, because it is we have to like
Speaker 1: it's no, I'm not going to do this. No I
Speaker 1: need to have a I need to be paid for this. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to show up in this way if
Speaker 1: you haven't showed up for me.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: And so that's becoming a soft life for me because
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm I was taking too much on
Speaker 1: unnecessary heaviness exact, you know, And that's becoming generational for
Speaker 1: us as black women. We have just taken We're taken
Speaker 1: it on. We're taking all the darts and it's time
Speaker 1: for us to like go to therapy. We're changing the narrative.
Speaker 1: We are listening to people, We're knowing our resources. We
Speaker 1: understand the black dollar, everything that comes to household. No,
Speaker 1: we're saying no, one necessary. That's shafeness the politics that's
Speaker 1: going on right now. We don't need to be in
Speaker 1: the forefront. Like Shirley Chisholm, she was out there fighting
Speaker 1: for our rights, being the first black woman to run
Speaker 1: for president.
Speaker 2: We are falling back. We tried.
Speaker 1: We can only do so much, so we're gonna do
Speaker 1: things behind the scenes. We got our families, we got
Speaker 1: our friendships, we got our faith. We have all of that,
Speaker 1: and I know it's time for us and I love
Speaker 1: this for us. And soft era is not just a
Speaker 1: feminine thing. It's also for men too. It's it's reading
Speaker 1: a book, it's knocking off goals, it's communication the.
Speaker 2: Very soft life. Really tell me about it.
Speaker 4: Wake up, he go work out and then he'll make
Speaker 4: the routine can be soft and like.
Speaker 2: He's living his best life. I love that for him.
Speaker 2: It really is something to see because I'm just like wow,
Speaker 2: like this is a transition for you. Support you. He
Speaker 2: does support me. But just like you said, it's for
Speaker 2: men too. It is. And I love that. I love
Speaker 2: that we deserve it and we've earned it and it's time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's time.
Speaker 3: I love seeing on social media, you know, everybody posting
Speaker 3: like their their little routines, but it's like their skincare
Speaker 3: routines or their workout routines.
Speaker 2: You I see you in your workout a little very motivational,
Speaker 2: very motivational. Yeah right, No, it's you're right. The skincare
Speaker 2: and what you're pouring into yourself, that's soft life.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: It's time. It's time for us to like get that. Listen.
Speaker 2: That was amazing.
Speaker 4: Like I swear you need to be an inspiration coach
Speaker 4: or a life coach or something you.
Speaker 2: Can humble daddy's life coach, you know, lex life lessons.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Go now, we got our favorite, one of our favorites,
Speaker 4: which is Hot Girl High Headlines.
Speaker 3: Okay, so today in Hot Girl Headlines, we're talking about
Speaker 3: the Kendrick Lamar super Bowl performance.
Speaker 2: And y'all know there was so much.
Speaker 3: Calculation controversy about whether Kendrick wrong. Well you know what,
Speaker 3: let's get into that because Lil Wayne, he hasn't put
Speaker 3: out an album in how long?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he got like fourteen yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I'm just playing Devil's taffocking. Okay, Okay, So
Speaker 3: do y'all feel like Kendrick Lamar does he deserve to.
Speaker 2: Be on the big stage. He does, but not for
Speaker 2: New Orleans, not for the New Orleans. Okay, can we take.
Speaker 1: So we all know how super Bowl works, being you
Speaker 1: know in the sports and entertainment industry, the the cities
Speaker 1: have already been set, so you already know the projection
Speaker 1: of what city is going to be.
Speaker 2: Right, Am I a Hot Boys fan? One hundred? The
Speaker 2: Birdman calls and the x y Z yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: is that New Orleans essence? And Juvie is that? Yes?
Speaker 2: It is?
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: I started a little like you should have been in there,
Speaker 3: but I still have I feel like Kendrick might bring him.
Speaker 2: Out, but I go, it's a hall Oh yeah, see
Speaker 2: it's doing lyrics, like I get it.
Speaker 1: Right, we want to highlight people who did put New
Speaker 1: Orleans on the map for music, right yeah, But we
Speaker 1: have to look at it like this super Bowl is
Speaker 1: also a business, and so is the NFL, and so
Speaker 1: is this platform. And Kendrick on the last sixteen to
Speaker 1: twenty four months has been exceedingly in the forefront of
Speaker 1: the entertainment.
Speaker 2: We should have had him a few years ago when
Speaker 2: it was in LA. I get it. I get so.
Speaker 1: I don't think it has to do with who is
Speaker 1: from where, because of the city of New Orleans has
Speaker 1: been preparing for the influx of tourists for.
Speaker 2: Years, for years. We are, respectfully, we don't even know
Speaker 2: if Lil Wayne declined. We don't even know.
Speaker 5: I think he.
Speaker 2: Was upset that he can't. Okay, so here, yes, because
Speaker 2: I'm a little Wayne fan baby and I was a baby.
Speaker 3: But honestly, even if it wasn't Lil Wayne, I think
Speaker 3: it's a little premature for Kendrick. Like I love Kendrick,
Speaker 3: like I think he's a great artist, but I feel
Speaker 3: like the super Bowl is such a big stage and
Speaker 3: I feel like, I mean, I don't know that he's
Speaker 3: put in his time.
Speaker 4: Yet, Like I feel like I feel like he put
Speaker 4: in his time, but to like to come to New
Speaker 4: Orleans and pick Kendrick Lamar over.
Speaker 2: Huge, I don't know. I just I feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: everybody's watching.
Speaker 3: Everybody's watching the super Bowl, right, everybody does that shout
Speaker 3: out to music like worldwide like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I think so they do.
Speaker 4: Okay, I didn't know, but I feel like Lil Wayne,
Speaker 4: but Lil Wayne, has they brought up platform th That's
Speaker 4: that's what I think too.
Speaker 1: Lil Wayne is a staple. He has longevity, you know,
Speaker 1: and we have seen the evolution of Lil Wayne for sure.
Speaker 3: Y'all think that Drake feels some kind of way too. No,
Speaker 3: you know think I don't think he tried to sue
Speaker 3: like the streaming companies about.
Speaker 2: The beef though, like that is that's separate right but now, but.
Speaker 3: You don't think being on that that on that you
Speaker 3: know platform, you don't think that that made Drake even more.
Speaker 2: I think Champagne Poppy has a lot more distractions going on,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: That's what when you're talking about Champagne Poppy right about Wayne.
Speaker 2: I feel like Lil Wayne, if Lil Wayne need.
Speaker 3: To make an entrance for Super Bowl, well hopefully Kendrick
Speaker 3: Lamar will be respectful and shine some light on lo
Speaker 3: Wayne and let him perform a song or two does
Speaker 3: he have I think he's going to be a lot
Speaker 3: of like or points if he If he did that,
Speaker 3: I like that shared the state, especially right Lawayne on that.
Speaker 1: But you know, over time we have gravitated to the
Speaker 1: halftime show, Like do you feel like it's overshadows natural game?
Speaker 2: It's important for the women it is.
Speaker 4: I mean, like when Rianna came and knew I knew
Speaker 4: she was breaking when she performed, I was.
Speaker 2: Like, this is not the Rihanna. She wouldn't I know
Speaker 2: she was. She wasn't.
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, I think in general, like
Speaker 3: halftime show has been big since Michael Jackson, but then
Speaker 3: Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2: Put it on the map, like women, I feel like
Speaker 2: it's for everybody and everybody.
Speaker 3: I feel like if people went forward to the halftime show,
Speaker 3: like ever since Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2: Like Bruno, it's been a big king. It's like the
Speaker 2: biggest platform.
Speaker 3: That's why there's so much fuss over it because it
Speaker 3: is literally the biggest stage and it will so many
Speaker 3: full tune in right exactly, but it's so much exposure.
Speaker 3: The whole world is watching. It's like considered one of
Speaker 3: the biggest stages to perform more and speaking of big stages,
Speaker 3: our girl Beyonce's headed back on tour. She's surprised us
Speaker 3: with a little post over the night suggesting that we
Speaker 3: have a cowboy Carter tour.
Speaker 2: That's why we were representing now Ivy Okay, I got
Speaker 2: on my vintage Ivy park. I've always been you know.
Speaker 3: Avid Beyonce fan at Ivy Park, I don't know being
Speaker 3: at them.
Speaker 5: Come.
Speaker 2: I went to the Renaissance Tour three times. Beyonce has
Speaker 2: collected a lot of coins from my house period. Okay,
Speaker 2: and I will be in attendance Cowboy Carter Tour.
Speaker 1: I love Beyonce's evolution over time, just from even Destiny
Speaker 1: Child to be a solo artists.
Speaker 2: We've seen her grow into her own everything everything.
Speaker 3: When I was ten years old to go see Destiny's Child,
Speaker 3: we lived in Columbia, South Carolina at the time. We
Speaker 3: drove to Charlotte in a terrible storm all the way
Speaker 3: to Charlotte, just me and my mom and they were
Speaker 3: opening up for Christina.
Speaker 2: Aguilera, and I will never forget. That's like a core
Speaker 2: memory for me, Like just going with my mom. My
Speaker 2: mom went out her way to make.
Speaker 3: Sure I thought Destiny's Child girl. So this for me,
Speaker 3: like to see her growth, to see her as a mom,
Speaker 3: to see her.
Speaker 4: Still killing it her child live, to see how she's
Speaker 4: such a business woman, yes, marketing, and I mean it's
Speaker 4: an amazing journey to see.
Speaker 2: To what's going to be on that Cowgirl. We're going
Speaker 2: to see get Carter.
Speaker 1: I love how she has just brought in the culture.
Speaker 1: You know, she's highlighting who we are and our essence.
Speaker 1: She's highlighting that she's from Texas, and Texas is known
Speaker 1: for the cowboy and country error. So how she has
Speaker 1: shifted genres and from pop to R and B to
Speaker 1: now she she'll sprinkle a little rap, you know, every
Speaker 1: now and then. She is the essence of culture for America,
Speaker 1: and not only just America, but I would say global too,
Speaker 1: but just highlighting what it is to be an American
Speaker 1: woman and just glowing up.
Speaker 2: I love this for her.
Speaker 3: She's a thirty two time Grammy Award winning thirty two Yes,
Speaker 3: the first black woman to headline Coachella.
Speaker 2: Come on Now, bait Hella, Baitchella.
Speaker 3: And she is a philanthropist and an activist with her
Speaker 3: Baga Foundation, and she's really setting an example for women
Speaker 3: all over the world. So she's definitely a humble batty.
Speaker 2: Yes, she is our boobeyance.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 2: I love how she just pops out too, like we'll
Speaker 2: just like drop something for us. I love it. Try

Speaker 2: right against his condition. Yeah, da day sad Yes, shout
Speaker 2: out to Beyonce. Thank you so much for being iconic.
Speaker 3: Well that's it for the hot girl headlines. Now time
Speaker 3: for the humble batty mail.
Speaker 4: Yeah but you got Charrelle, I got the humble batty
Speaker 4: we got today. Carolina Thompson from Richmond, Virginia. Hey Carolina
Speaker 4: and Iba.
Speaker 2: First of all, Hello ladies.
Speaker 4: Hi, Hey, Hey Carolina. I appreciate the work you bosses
Speaker 4: put towards our beautiful black community in Florida. I am
Speaker 4: hoping to visit one day. Come on, girl, We're gonna
Speaker 4: show you a good time. I aspired to be like you, Charille,
Speaker 4: coming from the same military background. Oh, Carolina, I am
Speaker 4: actually currently serving in the Army. I've been stationed in
Speaker 4: career for the past three years. I'm twenty one years
Speaker 4: old with my eleven month old baby girl and husband.
Speaker 4: I just want to provide for my family while being
Speaker 4: a boss ass chick. My question is, how did you
Speaker 4: manage being away from your kid and your family while away?
Speaker 4: I am looking forward to hearing more on You Ladies podcast.
Speaker 4: Thank you queens. Well Carolina, listen, Carolina, it's very hard
Speaker 4: and it hurts at times like you have to look
Speaker 4: at the bigger picture. And I know some people may
Speaker 4: not understand it. You're going to receive judgment, but you
Speaker 4: can't look at that. The bigger picture is the long
Speaker 4: term outcome.
Speaker 2: It was hard for me. I did not want to
Speaker 2: leave my daughter when I joined the military.
Speaker 4: I deployed to Afghanistan twice, but I knew it was
Speaker 4: the best decision for me and my kids. Sometimes you
Speaker 4: have to take sacrifices and you look at the bigger picture.
Speaker 4: Don't worry about what people say, because people are going
Speaker 4: to judge you, but you know what you're getting at
Speaker 4: the end goal and that's a great life for you
Speaker 4: and your kids. So that was my main goal, sticking
Speaker 4: it throughout the whole thirteen years. And look at me now,
Speaker 4: like I'm not perfect, but my kids are in a
Speaker 4: better situation than I was when I was their age,
Speaker 4: and it's amazing. You just got to do what's best
Speaker 4: for you and your kids, absolutely, and it requires taking sacrifices.
Speaker 3: So well said, I think that's going to relate to
Speaker 3: so many people. A lot of people in the military
Speaker 3: don't talk about that. They don't talk about you know
Speaker 3: how it feels as a mom, to be away from
Speaker 3: your kids. It's already hard enough to be going through postpartum.
Speaker 3: I know her baby is young, your baby very young,
Speaker 3: So that's a lot in itself. And then to just
Speaker 3: put like the distance, being in the army, being in
Speaker 3: that type of environment, being in a whole nother country
Speaker 3: with a whole different culture, Like there's so much on you,
Speaker 3: you know, just really, you know, focus on yourself, on
Speaker 3: your baby, do what's best for y'all, and just you know,
Speaker 3: like Chaelle said, it's all about the long term investment
Speaker 3: that you're making.
Speaker 4: And I promise you it's worth it. It's definitely worth it.
Speaker 1: I can add it just a little bit to it.
Speaker 1: I can't resonate with like having that situation happen to me.
Speaker 1: I can only attest to a little bit with my
Speaker 1: baby girl, Asida, being in boarding school, away prematurely than
Speaker 1: when I thought she would be leaving the house.
Speaker 2: So it's about sacrifice, but it's also getting your job
Speaker 2: done and taking care of yourself too.
Speaker 1: And these babies will be okay, especially with support systems
Speaker 1: and very much so a surrounding support group. In the
Speaker 1: long run, they are getting educated, they are learning so much,
Speaker 1: and the babies will be okay, and mama is doing
Speaker 1: what she gotta do, Like.
Speaker 2: That's what really counts.
Speaker 1: So I just think it's commendable and as long as
Speaker 1: you have a support system, it's gonna be beneficial to everybody.
Speaker 4: Have faith, Keep God first, that's right.
Speaker 2: Give up.
Speaker 4: You know what your end goal is and you know
Speaker 4: who you are sacrificed.
Speaker 2: That's right. That's absolutely.
Speaker 4: We love you, Carolina, and we wish you love no
Speaker 4: the best.
