<v Speaker 1>what what what role does do you play having that

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.400

<v Speaker 1>or an influence at that level, it cares at a

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>high level responsibility. Let's talk about that in the community

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that you embrace. Well, I'm a part of the LBGT community.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.280

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>love it. Um in my community. You know, I've I've

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>built a brand off of my social media. You know.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>At one point, I used to be involved in the

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>adult entertainment industry, which I'm noticing now due to the

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen, so many people have uh uh think they're

0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>told over into that industry by you know, deviling gabbling

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>around and only fans. And I was like, wow, like

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>we have such big, huge celebrities, um, well, big celebrities

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that have started to explore only fans. And then when

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you have a pew celebrity like Beyonce, uh that that

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>wraps and says all my demon time, I might make

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.039
<v Speaker 1>an only fans you know, and it just pushed, it

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>just peaked it up more, you know, especially for those

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>people that were curious about it. You know, one thing,

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>one thing about me, I don't uh, I don't run

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>from my past. That don't hide from my past. I

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like that you have to do. You have to

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 1>um grasp your past so that you can accept your future,

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you know. And a part of my past that was

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what I did. That was an adult entertainment field,

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and I used to do our films um produce some

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>storry in them. They were kind of like what what

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>people are doing on only fans Now? However, you know,

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just my website and I made money off of that.

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I definitely that's the industry that would go to

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the cars that were dealt to me at the time,

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's the inditry that I was in. You know,

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not promoting it, but I mean it is what

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>it is. Well, think about this that I'm not even

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>being negative about it. You know, I know we all

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>go through different things in life and because like you said,

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>made money and we all we all grow. Because the

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>thing about it, the thing I appreciate the fact is

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that you've been allowed to move on. Okay, it is

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>your pass, you know what I'm saying. That is what

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to feel that social media allows us to do now

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>because if you didn't have social media, you basically have

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>trapped into that story that that's the story that they

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>thy can say you are, that's who you are. But

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>social media has allowed you to be able to say

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that's that's my that's one of my resume. But look

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>at what I'm doing now, and look what I represent now.

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>And this is what I really wanted to bring you

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 1>on the show to talk about how because a lot

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>of people get frustrated they do make decisions, whether it's

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>a business decision or relationship decision or lifestyle decision, and

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>then they feel they can't they can't climb out of

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>that rut. And on my show, I tried to bring

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>on individuals that can share some nuggets to say, yes,

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I did this, openly confessed I do that. But you

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>used the new age of branding now that allows you

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to have a voice, that allows you to call your

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>press conference anytime you feel like yeahs you know, and

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and much to figgureback off what you're saying, like, I've

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>embracing my past, and my personality has always been you know,

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>over the top and you know, bigger than life. I've

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>been very opinionated, and I got into you know, social

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>commentary and and and and blogging and YouTube and Instagram,

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, all these safest where I was able to

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>let my opinion start to make me make money for me,

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 1>make a living for me. And I once again I

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>took the tools that I learned in a prior life

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and applied them to this one and and was able

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to package up and and you know, resell myself as

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a social media influencer. Um, half million. You are not

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>not kind of sell yourself half million Instagram followers and more.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>You're doing your thing, my friend. You're doing your time,

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>my friend. But let's let's talk about you as a

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>as a brand. Let's talk about the Queen Supreme Court.

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Did that idea come about? It's available on podcasts. Well,

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the Queen Supreme Court was originally the Queen's Court. It

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>was something that my former co host uh and myself

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>used to do together. Um, and even though she and

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I parted ways, I continue to, uh, you know, re

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>revamp and rebrand the show into you know, a social

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>commentary show. And uh, it's become very influential in popular car.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>It was always influential, influential in popular culture, but it

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>became you know, a different staple and popular culture where

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>or you know, most celebrities coming. They we we we

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>talked about the things that are going on in the world,

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>like current events and stuff. And you know, I shall

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 1>sponsorship packages for the show. UM. My fans are always

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, supporting me or whatever. But the most the

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing about it is I'm able to sell sponsorship

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>packages to money, making conversation money. I love talking to you.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I love talking to you. It was about It's about,

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, being able to market yourself and realize their money,

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>real financial opportunities that are out there. But you have

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>to be consistent about it. You have to be passionate

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>about it, and you have to have a plan. And

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that's what you have. You have a plan and you're consistent.

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.199
<v Speaker 1>And like you said, I'm over the top, but that's

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>part of the brand. If you told me it was like, okay,

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't know about you. You wouldn't have five hundred

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>thousand followers. But it's not as disruptive. It's not a

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>disruptive or rude over the top. It's as a branding

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that's entertaining, is funny, and that's what we're talking about here,

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>fun quality entertainment, information that makes you smile. Yes, Yes,

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I love you, Yes, I don't get together to this

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>pandemic dot down. They won't. You know, let's transition over there.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's transition over there. Because of the fact that we

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 1>know the community, African American community. We're also gonna talk

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>about the HIV community. It's being just tearing up black

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.959
<v Speaker 1>people is impacting that your community as well, Let's talk

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>about that because of the fact that we have UH,

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>we have a situation where now they're starting to wear

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>they wear masks. And what role are you playing as

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>far as trying to guide the proper information in your community? Well,

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in my community, you know, it's very important that we

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>cover um HIV and aid US, the HIV and AIDS

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.079
<v Speaker 1>and things of that nature. You know, I'm always talking

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>about UH prep UH PREP is UH. This is a

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>drug that's administered the people who are who are sexually

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>active that can prevent them from UM even becoming intersected

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>with the HV or AIDS virus and if. And I

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>also make sure that I've encouraged people in my community

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that might have been that might be affected by it

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to you know, continue to take their their medications, you know,

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 1>so that they can remain to have an undetectable um

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>UH status. And I'm no different with the situation with

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the COVID nineteen, Like I'm afraid like this, this this virus,

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, popped up out of nowhere. I really believe

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that it was already here and then I think we

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 1>all have been affected by maybe back some time last

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>year and either UH December November November December time frame.

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 1>This this virus is over here. It was just our

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>our leaders as we are. I just want to use

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the word leaders chose not chose to ignore it because

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it would have impacted the stock market. And so now

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 1>we have a you know, when I when I look

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.839
<v Speaker 1>at it, you know, this is a national broadcast. And

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>just let everybody know. When the April came out in

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the CDC announced that, you know, eight out of tend

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>COVID nineteen UH patients were African American or black. That

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 1>was a frightening number. And then when the when the

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:20.439
<v Speaker 1>State of Georgia decided to reopen, and that's when it reopened,

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 1>knowing that information meant that they had no plan for

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.719
<v Speaker 1>that's they had no plan for White America. The or

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 1>reopened prop properly and they didn't care how it affected

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the Hispanic community, the black community, any community of color.

0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>And so that really really that's what I'm saying. Your

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>role in my role, my role as well as as

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>it means to be at front I I do a

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of interviews on UH general market stations, and I

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>try to be honest about this whole situation because of

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you gotta mask up, you gotta wash

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 1>your hands. Is this you know? This is now because

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>now we're sending young people out there. Thought they were immortal.

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Now they're being affective and you have the social distance

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you have to do that. You know, it's imperative. And

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>when I see people even in my camp, being reckless

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and party partying and and and not and not taking

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>this pandemic serious, I'm like, hey, are you not looking

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>at the numbers? Is this stuff? Like like, people are

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>really dying from this, from this situation. People are dying,

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>And like, how are you How are you not paying

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>this stuff in your attention or how are you not

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>following the rules of the godlines of it? You know,

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I've been in quarantine. The only place I've been as

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:38.319
<v Speaker 1>the grocery store at home. That's it. You know, you

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and I could be dating because that's what I do too, Okay,

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>because I don't really I go to you know, it

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>always amazes me t s when I go on the

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>grocery store. I um, I I see people no mass,

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going like, okay, did you not get the memo.

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And then I've seen these videos of people white people

0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>angry when they've been told mask, trying to I can

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>bully they weigh in the mall mark, I saw some

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 1>videos where this lady took all her food out of

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>her grocery bass and just threw it on the floor.

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Some people throw food at people. Hey, hey, they they

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>will give you a mask to wear. But this is

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the problem is they don't want to be told what

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>to do and and and right now they're feeling like

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>that the mask and the social distancing and the quarantine

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>is some conspiracy theory um for the government to control people.

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, do you not see that this stuff?

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Like people are really sick and dying out here? Like

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I do feel like that they're there are small pieces

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of of this pandemic that is a little bit you know,

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 1>hyped up, just just a bit. But I do believe

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>that this is really going on because one, um, it

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>did affect business for everyone, like we're working from home.

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's working from home now, and and and for entertainers

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>like myself who traveled my because I traveled my show

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>as well, I lost gig, I lost appearances, you know,

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I was not able to you know, show up and

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>meeting greet with my fans. And you know, I lost

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>lots of money from speaking engagement and everything goes. I

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>still had to know how to survive, you know, during

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 1>this pandemic, and a lot of people we're trying to

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 1>find a way to survive during the during the pandemic.

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 1>This is why some of them, as I was saying earlier,

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, touched into the the only fans that you wish,

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.440

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I've been on Nicki Minaj's show. Nicki Minaj was very

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 1>much interested in UM, you know, producing the first phase

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of the show, and she and I continue to be

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.679
<v Speaker 1>friends after that. UM didn't work out, but you know,

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 1>she and my girlfriend. I've had Candy Burst on the show.

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 1>many different guests come in and out of there. And

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I really like to rotate the chair because you know,

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.160
<v Speaker 1>when you're doing social commentary, I don't want to sit

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.199
<v Speaker 1>there and and run the show on my own because

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't want my opinions on my uh views or

0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.200
<v Speaker 1>something to to seem like it's it's the law. I

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 1>like to to discuss and banter and throw the joke

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a two out of your I tell you about you

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 1>can't be told by no jokes until I heard you

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you because you know, I'm one of the top comedians. Now,

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I got love for you now, but you can't just

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>come on my show and say you're a comedian with

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean not branding you right now once I see

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you'm gonna bringing back on the show, go this girl

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 1>funny right here. Funny. Now I can use words like hilarious,

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, all that kind of stuff,

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.679
<v Speaker 1>because you could be hilarious to not be a standard

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>comedian because you're actress and all that good stuff. So

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about let's talk about where do you get

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.199
<v Speaker 1>your celebrity gossip from on the on your show The

0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Queen's Supreme Court. What do you get your celebrity gossip from? Um? Well,

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean I pulled from a different set of places

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.679
<v Speaker 1>like um, you know, and sometimes it comes just you know,

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 1>now show from watching watching watching watching television shows or whatever.

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:05.920
<v Speaker 1>But I get a lot of my gossip from a

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of the blog sites or whatever. But see the

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>difference with me is the blog sites might report on

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the star. I will bring the star to me and

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 1>going with them. I like that. I like that. Now. Now, now,

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 1>when when one comes to your show, I've hollered out

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.879
<v Speaker 1>and screamed out some things on the show, But what

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>is what it's really the goal of your show? Is

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>it is it to educate people about your brand. It's

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:33.240

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.640
<v Speaker 1>You feel blessed to be able to present that on

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 1>a global because it's a global when you when you're

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.880

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>your stuff, so your your global brand. I'm not gonna

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:51.440
<v Speaker 1>short that shot you on that, okay, Well, I mean

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the goal of my show just to make people laugh,

0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, We'll laugh at the parts that are to

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>be funny and educate them on the parts that they

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.720
<v Speaker 1>need to be educated on, and to clear up some

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 1>of the myths and shade you know that might be

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>out in the streets because you know, we are we

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:09.639
<v Speaker 1>are a part of the urban uh, the urban community,

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, and there are times that people there, a

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>celebrity might have some bad information or a bad story

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 1>about them that they might want to come to my

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 1>show and they might want to clear up. So you know,

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:22.399
<v Speaker 1>we well, this is this is the place that you

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 1>can do it, especially with their fans can tune in

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and see them, you know, hash out some some bad

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>rumor that might have been spread about, you know, but

0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>but my show is just all all around. I want

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that my show is it's entertaining, it's informative,

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and and it makes money. I just want to make

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 1>sure that love right there. See that's what I've been

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:44.239
<v Speaker 1>trying to get people on the show. I would talk

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.679
<v Speaker 1>about money. See we on the same page about the

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>money conversation here. Now here's the here's the philanthropic, the

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>giving side that I want to make sure people know

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 1>about you. In the midst of the pandemic crisis, TS

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 1>has surprised families, ends and others with groceries and donations

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:07.199
<v Speaker 1>to help them through these challenging tisks. Now why, you know,

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying why because guess what, how much? Just

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 1>throw it out like that? Why t Why is that important? Well,

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it's important to me because everybody may not know how

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:20.679
<v Speaker 1>to slip a dollar there in a hard time. And

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and there are some people that that have relied on

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>their jobs and and and what they know, like they

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>know how to get up and go to work every

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 1>day from nine to five. And this has been taken

0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>away from a lot of people. So you know, this

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 1>is this is one of the luxuries that I have.

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 1>It's been a social media influencer and an ambassador for

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 1>brands and and things like that, and having my show

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that I still am able to make money during this

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>during these times, So why not being why not help

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 1>somebody or help a family out that that you know

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.480
<v Speaker 1>have lost those privileges. You know, you know it really

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.160
<v Speaker 1>is important. I you know, I I find myself because

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I blessed. I can. I haven't been able

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to lay off my staff during the pandemic. They've received

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>their pay and I believe in the function and not

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:11.879
<v Speaker 1>that the Lord knows. I'm not making any money, but

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm also planning to make money. And that's how all

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 1>part about money making conversation is. And I want to

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:19.159
<v Speaker 1>ask you about your your character. There was there was

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a question in your and your they don't want to

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 1>bring up when asked about your Lodger than life passan.

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>This is your saying, it's Maddie. I I know you're

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 1>not calling you Maddie. You know, just transition that that

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>just threw that out there, you and all right with me.

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 1>You said, I've always had a big personality, but the

0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>more I've become I became comfortable with myself and feeling

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 1>okay with whatever choices I make in life, not being apologetic,

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the true me was able to be released. The reason

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I read that out is that that happens to a

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people. That's that's that's a statement that anybody

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>can say, the struggle with identity, struggling with the path

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 1>they want to follow in life. And I want you

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to just comment on that, because that's why I always

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 1>try to be in preple with shows. You know something,

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 1>just because you're a different color, just because you make

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 1>where a different uh, you have a different lifestyle approach.

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 1>We all think, we all experienced the same desires to

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.400
<v Speaker 1>be successful, we all play taxes, we all want to

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>live a healthy life. We all want to be loved.

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's all that statement is saying. Right there, it's

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a relatable statement. Just just open your blindness to realize

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 1>that she's relatable, she's understandable, and she's passionate, and she

0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 1>cares now to talk about that uh, that whole lodger

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 1>than life possana and accepting yourself and not being you know,

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>worried about what people thought about you. Wait, okay, so

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:51.320
<v Speaker 1>let me come back and okay, Okay, that was a

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>good one. That was a good girl. That was good.

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:57.360
<v Speaker 1>That was good. That's good. You slipped a good joke

0:24:57.400 --> 0:24:59.719
<v Speaker 1>on man. I like that. I like like, I like that.

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:10.359
<v Speaker 1>I might want you now. Well, you know, the only

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>way to truly aspire in life is to embrace one's self,

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I think a lot of times we

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 1>we even whether we're gay, straight, by trans, or whatever,

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.919
<v Speaker 1>there's pieces of us that we might not want to grasp,

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 1>we may not want to accept that, you know, especially

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>with even even in even in our African American community,

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.520
<v Speaker 1>where mental health is like a big, big thing that

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that's not talked about. Like sometimes we have to accept

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I might be a little by polar. I need to

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>accept that and embrace it. And I used that by

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 1>polar example because I get a lot of inspiration from

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer Lewis, And you know, Jennifer Lewis came out on

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Oprah and she was like, I'm by polar and I

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>have to, you know, medicate myself or whatever. And and

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that really made me look at it, like I'm trans

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:00.919
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I have to I'm bracing this stuff

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, and this is not a crutch for me.

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is not a hinderance in my life for

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>me moving on into you know, achieving the goals that

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to achieve in my life. And when I

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>started Jennifer Lewis do that, I was like, wow, you know,

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 1>this is this This just brings that statement that I

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that I made there, It brings it all full circle.

0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Like everybody has to embrace an extempt that part of

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:29.440
<v Speaker 1>them selves fully so that they can be the most

0:26:29.480 --> 0:26:31.920
<v Speaker 1>magnificent self that they can be, so that they can

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>really really embrace themselves and be successful in their life.

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Because that's the only way that you're really going to

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:43.959
<v Speaker 1>be successful successful in life is by fully and purely

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 1>embracing yourself, embracing your flaws and all embracing your past,

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:52.480
<v Speaker 1>embracing this, embracing the things that come to you, and

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>just knowing how to to to propel yourself forwards and

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and all that you do. You know, it's really interesting

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>as we talk and our interview Jennifer Lewis, and you

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.920
<v Speaker 1>know that book is a great read's a very sexual

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>book because she's very sexually active. Uhllywood. Okay, Now, if

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you if you if you if you're worried about reading

0:27:20.000 --> 0:27:23.159
<v Speaker 1>about something. Don't don't read that book. It's not okay,

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.879
<v Speaker 1>she's just young point. But it's about the bipolar, about

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>accepting mental health and all these things. Because within the

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:33.719
<v Speaker 1>black community, because you said that, the black community, you know,

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.720
<v Speaker 1>we kind of like kick things to the curve that

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 1>we really should be talking about weight, uh, high cholesterol,

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>high blood pressure, which which is an impact and of

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:45.880
<v Speaker 1>our help. When it comes to COVID nineteen. It's same

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 1>thing to that team comming, I gotta I gotta wrap

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:50.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody into it because it's not just us, anybody who

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:53.119
<v Speaker 1>was eating wrong and living wrong and and have and

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 1>then and winked, winked when it came to the situation

0:27:56.520 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that you know, we should be taken care of. We

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 1>have to start realizing that we have to change as

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:05.120
<v Speaker 1>were trying to tear down these Confederate statutes and take

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.359
<v Speaker 1>these flags out of Mississippi. We gotta start eating right,

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 1>we gotta start living right. We gotta start admitting that

0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 1>we are not especially men, especially black men, we tend

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to want to be like you know, we can want

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>through a brick row, not if it's really brick. Now

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you need to realize and so and so. But the

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Black community is always uh shunned uh the truth, and

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 1>especially in the community that you are part of. You know,

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 1>let's let's let's step back a little bit, you know,

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>and Ellen de Generous, you know, made her announcement, has

0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>been so successful on TV, has allowed a lot of

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 1>truths to be spoken and to be accepted. Now, who

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>are other great leaders out there? Because she gets the

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:48.720
<v Speaker 1>most fanfare, what other great leaders that we should be

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 1>recognizing that have been uh besides RuPaul had to have

0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to put him out there as well, RuPaul Um, Ellen

0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>de Generous, I mean people, well, I mean, for me,

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>there's some there's some people that we were not I'm

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>not gonna say suspect, but that we know. It's that's

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a part of the community that's really not vocal about it,

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.719
<v Speaker 1>which I really wish, which which I really wish they

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>would be because it would help more people who are

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:20.239
<v Speaker 1>struggling with themselves to be the greatest self that they

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>could be. I really wish they would speak out. But

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's there's Billy porter Um from posts Um,

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 1>There's Leverne cock Uh, there's Angelical Ross. You know, there's uh,

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 1>there's Hopes, there there's so many different people that are

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.200
<v Speaker 1>that are leaders in our community, you know, that have

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:42.960
<v Speaker 1>embracement stems fully. And you know, here's the thing with

0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>me with with with black people that I want black

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 1>people to know as a black trans woman, I need

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:52.720
<v Speaker 1>black people to understand that I'm black first, baby, and

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm skill black. No matter what other umbrella or whatever

0:29:58.040 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>um identity that I have, I'm Black first and and yes,

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and I try to do so much for my community,

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 1>for my own community because I'm black and train and

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it runs, it runs in an intersection, it's intersectional. So

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just really really wish that our black

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 1>brothers and sisters would really embrace us just a little

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>bit more and not meet this with lots of resistance

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>because it's something that they may not understand. This is

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>why I have to applaud you, um, you know for

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:34.720

<v Speaker 1>lots of times they're there are black people who you know,

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 1>are afraid of you know, communicating or or or even

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:51.000
<v Speaker 1>getting knowledge about something that that they may may make

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.480
<v Speaker 1>them feel uncomfortable. But we have to know that we're

0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>all the people at the same time. You know, I

0:30:56.080 --> 0:31:01.000
