1
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Hasis okay. So it is me popping in with what

2
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: I would consider an emergency session. So, like many of you,

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: I have gone through the past couple of days feeling sad,

4
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: feeling angry, feeling pissed, feeling rageful, disappointed, hopeless, just to

5
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: name a few. Because y'all friends have elected Donald Trump

6
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: to be president again? What the f like? How did

7
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: we really get here? Again? So if you remember, shortly

8
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: after VP Harris, once she was named the candidate, I

9
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: did a quick session talking about the concern that I had,

10
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: and I feel like in my gut I felt like, oh,

11
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: this might not go well. But because I saw black

12
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: women rally, that made me feel better. It made me

13
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: feel hopeful. And so I think, like many of you,

14
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: I was also food into thinking this might be the

15
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: time that there is no better person who could be

16
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: the person to take the presidency at this time. And

17
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: so now I am sitting here like how could I

18
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: have been so foolish? So I am wrestling with those

19
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: feelings again as I am sure many of you are,

20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: and just not really sure like how to pull it

21
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: all together at this point. So I just wanted to

22
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: pop on to let you know that whatever you are

23
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: feeling is completely valid. So all the disappointment, the anger,

24
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: the rage, the what the fness like, all of it

25
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: is completely valid. And so I know that there will

26
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: be some action to take for us to take care

27
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: of one another. Let me be clear, the action will

28
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: be in us continuing to take care of one another.

29
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: But I'm not ready to move to that yet, and

30
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: if you aren't either, it is okay. I think a

31
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of times we move very quickly to action and like, Okay,

32
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: what's next, what's the lesson, what's the silver lining? And

33
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: sometimes the truth is that there is no silver lining,

34
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: Like stuff just sucks and you just have to sit

35
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: with the sutness. And so that's where I am, and

36
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: if you are there, then it is okay for you

37
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: to still be there as well. I think the thing

38
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: that I am holding on to and the thing that

39
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: gets me through so many times is you all and

40
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: we being all that we have. I think that that

41
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: has become even more crystal clear, though I don't feel

42
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: like it ever leaves my sight. Very often, we are

43
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: truly all we got, and so if anything gives me hope,

44
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: it is knowing that we continue to have each other's back.

45
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: And so for the next five minutes, I just want

46
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: to sit here with you and let you cry if

47
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: you need to, if you want a journal, if you

48
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: want to shout into the abyss, if you want to

49
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: take a quick walk or do a little bit of

50
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: physical activity, whatever it is, just know that I'm here

51
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: with you and holding space for you and whatever you're feeling,

52
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: and know that we got each other.

53
00:05:01,960 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: Us sixty six Beauty six SI.

54
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: Beaut to
