Speaker 1: gonna talk about what it means to go after your
Speaker 1: dreams and what it looks like and what that feels like,
Speaker 1: um and everything in between. So I'm excited. So you know,
Speaker 1: somebody go tell somebody Dante's about to do this. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm going live with it, okay, And I'm telling you
Speaker 1: get ready to get inspired. That's all I gotta say. Um,
Speaker 1: and not just from me, from Danielle as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: when I tell you that this woman is amazing and
Speaker 1: in ways when you look at and you're just like wow,
Speaker 1: you inspire me. That's what I inspire. That's the life
Speaker 1: that I'm living where I can look at somebody next
Speaker 1: to me and it's like, Queen, I see you, Thank
Speaker 1: you for inspiring me. Hey down, my name sakes, So
Speaker 1: M Danielle is coming and so how how are you doing?
Speaker 1: It's it's um as president's story. We got a president.
Speaker 1: We like this one. Maybe. But as I was saying, um,
Speaker 1: you guys know that My bodym D podcast is on
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio and whichever platforms there are out there,
Speaker 1: you can also catch it out on Steve Harvey FM
Speaker 1: dot com, Forward Slash Podcast. You're gonna sproll down and
Speaker 1: you're gonna see doing day. So I was saying that
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the podcast live. It's my first
Speaker 1: time and I'm excited. I love doing things that excite
Speaker 1: me like this and scared the mess out of me.
Speaker 1: You know, I sought it's about and I think that's
Speaker 1: what people gotta realize when when going out to your dreams,
Speaker 1: like you gotta go out there and you gotta take
Speaker 1: a chance, you gotta go out there and uh see
Speaker 1: how you feel about it. And sometimes it's gonna be unnerving.
Speaker 1: And I think it's so interesting. People be like, Dawn,
Speaker 1: I want to be right, Dawn, how do I go after?
Speaker 1: And it's like, you gotta do it when it scares you.
Speaker 1: And when it scares you, that's when you know, because
Speaker 1: that's when the energy starts moving. That's when you start
Speaker 1: sweating and shining because things are moving and you don't
Speaker 1: stop moving until you're dead. Do you hear what I'm saying? Right?
Speaker 1: And it's so interesting that even though we know like
Speaker 1: this energy it creates life, we got this sense of
Speaker 1: consistently trying to stop when it starts to heat up
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. When aren't you trying to cook up
Speaker 1: on your dreams? Aren't you trying to cook up on
Speaker 1: your best life? So what are we talking about here?
Speaker 1: So I say, at this point you have to ask
Speaker 1: yourself what it is that you want you know, and
Speaker 1: you can't expect to see it just yet. And it's
Speaker 1: gonna be different from what you expect because you've never
Speaker 1: had it, So sometimes you're gonna have to figure it out.
Speaker 1: But if you can't start, take the heat, step out
Speaker 1: the kitchen, and if your dreams are existing, if your
Speaker 1: dreams are here for you, you you have to understand that
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to take its chance, and that chance
Speaker 1: is gonna be rough, and it's gonna take you to
Speaker 1: grow because you've never done it. I'm gonna mention this
Speaker 1: when Danielle comes on, and I'm actually gonna text her
Speaker 1: um because one thing I don't think people think about
Speaker 1: uh a lot, is that will you ask for more?
Speaker 1: You gotta stretch for more? Do you understand what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: And when you talk about stretching, we're talking about pulling,
Speaker 1: We're talking about turning up the heat. So what do
Speaker 1: you want? You're ready to turn up the heat or what?
Speaker 1: Go on? Only if you're ready, Because this podcast is
Speaker 1: all about getting you excited about your life. You hear me,
Speaker 1: That's what it's about. I want you to know too.
Speaker 1: This is another thing. As we're gonna get on this podcast,
Speaker 1: Dan y'all is charging up her phone? Is that on
Speaker 1: this podcast? Vitamin to Yeah, you're gonna get excited, right,
Speaker 1: But let me be clear, let me be crystal clear
Speaker 1: with you, because when you talk about the truth, that's
Speaker 1: talking about cutting on the lights. I don't think that
Speaker 1: you can show up as part of you, Okay, you
Speaker 1: can't just fix part of you and expecting all your
Speaker 1: dreams to come to fruition. So on the Vitamin D podcast,
Speaker 1: we're calling people out. You hear me sometimes calling myself out,
Speaker 1: and I'm just saying, because it's gonna charge you to
Speaker 1: get uncomfortable in that way, because you're asking to be great, right.
Speaker 1: Can somebody throw up my hand if you agree. If
Speaker 1: you're asking to be great, you're gonna have to realize
Speaker 1: it's gonna our charge you change. Are you ready to change?
Speaker 1: Are you ready to be dope? I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but when I look at it and when I think
Speaker 1: on myself and what I'm doing, it comes down to
Speaker 1: the chance of that I don't have another choice. And
Speaker 1: it's so interesting even right now just sharing on another level. Um,
Speaker 1: just I'm approaching the season of my mother's death and
Speaker 1: it's weird. I say it's weird because, um, for a while,
Speaker 1: you know, I never can really remember the date um,
Speaker 1: but my body does. And when I think about how
Speaker 1: I go after my dreams, you know it's because that
Speaker 1: time away from my mom. So I asked you, what's
Speaker 1: your why you know Eric Thomas, he's from Detroit. He says,
Speaker 1: you know you have to have want your dreams as
Speaker 1: bad as you want to breathe. How bad do you
Speaker 1: want your dreams? Because if I tried to constrict you, right,
Speaker 1: if I tried to hold you down underwater, you are
Speaker 1: fighting for your life. It's not because you're saying I wanted.
Speaker 1: Your body is reacting. Do you understand? That's why when
Speaker 1: I think when they say that you gotta be crazy
Speaker 1: for your dreams, that's what they mean, because you gotta
Speaker 1: go on a full all assault. So don't sit here
Speaker 1: and say that you want to be great but you're comfortable.
Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying. You can't sit here
Speaker 1: and want to be great and not making the steps
Speaker 1: that you gotta make. And so my guests that they
Speaker 1: have coming on right now. V Danielle, young guy, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about all of that and more. She's joining. Okay, Hello,

Speaker 1: we're hitting on some things that's on the good and

Speaker 1: how we met a producer. Yeah, and in case you know,
Speaker 1: someone's been shining under the rock somewhere. You're also soul
Speaker 1: Ivy's best friend. Hey, you know the other. So you guys,
Speaker 1: if you can do me a favorite and just throw
Speaker 1: some claps up and welcome Dan yo ya. I can't
Speaker 1: I was about to say, I came out. I can't
Speaker 1: throw my own clips welcome, oh seraders in the building
Speaker 1: pace to read. Uh, how are you doing? Girl? But
Speaker 1: you know, pandemic amazing, pandemic amazing. I feel, you know, exceptionally,
Speaker 1: I'm doing exceptionally well. I cannot complain um, my family
Speaker 1: as well, and you know, so I'm just nothing to
Speaker 1: be said about. It's just a weird time to be
Speaker 1: in to be you know, immobile for the most part. Um.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's not a complete loss, I definitely.
Speaker 1: I just feel like I've been able to have time
Speaker 1: for the type of growth that I've been needing, um
Speaker 1: at the time in the space to do that. So
Speaker 1: that's been just I've been so grateful for that. UM.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just I can't complain. It's just we
Speaker 1: in this weird time. But I'm alive. I'm alive, and
Speaker 1: I'm thriving. Yes, yes, um. You know, for me, this
Speaker 1: pandemic has definitely been a blessing. And I say it
Speaker 1: because there's a quote I always say. I said, what
Speaker 1: allows the diamond to shine are the multitudes of cuts
Speaker 1: that have been placed within it. Right, well, Daniel, what's
Speaker 1: the diamond? It was once a piece of cold under
Speaker 1: some pressure. Some of the most amazing things that occurred
Speaker 1: to me in my life have been in the pandemic
Speaker 1: because I was forced to stop and say, Dawn, you're
Speaker 1: ready to go after your dreams? Wait a minute, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, let's see this. And I said this when
Speaker 1: I was on your Stories Told podcast, right um, episode eight,
Speaker 1: make sure you check it out. Okay, come out with
Speaker 1: the reference already ready going for a good streets to
Speaker 1: xact reference. But I say that because we you know,
Speaker 1: I talked about it a little bit before you came on.
Speaker 1: I was talking about Eric Thomas. He's from Detroit and
Speaker 1: he's says on his his I got his motivational album
Speaker 1: and he talks about this thing is and how you
Speaker 1: gotta want your dream as bad as you want to breathe,
Speaker 1: and how your body is sometimes reacting like it's not
Speaker 1: a matter if you have a choice. If somebody tried
Speaker 1: to hold you under the water, your body is gonna fight.
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be depressed when you're tired and all that. Right.
Speaker 1: So although my breath wasn't leaving me literally, you know
Speaker 1: what I felt like, I felt stuck. And what was
Speaker 1: it before me was the Red Sea because it was like, Dawn,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? And that's when I think
Speaker 1: you gotta realize when you gotta have that faith. Because
Speaker 1: when Moses was standing at the red see how tall
Speaker 1: was the water? How why was the sea be? Could
Speaker 1: you imagine what was in it? And you just have
Speaker 1: to get to the other side. What now, whether or
Speaker 1: not it really happened, We gotta think figuratively. But the
Speaker 1: illustration and the book was saying that, you know, it's
Speaker 1: a minute to separate. So in that moment I made
Speaker 1: some tough to say, just damn you and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be sent here where you're in front of you had
Speaker 1: I not made the decision. Mum hum and we met
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago on the red carpet. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah. Sweat and bullets, sweating bullets, you and
Speaker 1: your umbrella. And I heard this voice over yonder, Hey
Speaker 1: queen black List. Yes. Yes, I was excited because I
Speaker 1: was like, yo, that's smart. The umbrella. That was because
Speaker 1: it was really hot on that carpet and I had
Speaker 1: a long sleeve. It was like butchering hot. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's so smart. And then I mentioned
Speaker 1: it cut the lights when I was like, who is
Speaker 1: who is this lady? Who is this chick? That's what
Speaker 1: I said, no disrespect, said who is this check? I
Speaker 1: was like, your vibe was contagious, your energy was contagious. Everybody,
Speaker 1: every celebrity on the carpet was galling for Dan Yoe like, hey, bo,
Speaker 1: I'm coming. Good to see you again. I said wow,
Speaker 1: And I said she looks like me. She's another girl
Speaker 1: out here that's like me and doing it. Then I
Speaker 1: began to follow you because I said who is this girl?
Speaker 1: You know we had went to the after party, but
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, she and I saw all the
Speaker 1: work that you've done on your projects. Um, you know
Speaker 1: we could stay out that night. Yeah, you remember remember
Speaker 1: that was a fun night. I just remember the fact
Speaker 1: of how you know, just looking at your body of work,
Speaker 1: from the over explainer, from what you're doing with the root,
Speaker 1: from what you're doing with just everything right. And I was,
Speaker 1: I was sitting in my stay, I said, I gotta
Speaker 1: have Dan Yell on my podcast, but I gotta make
Speaker 1: ain'tle different. You a beast. Anybody can look at your
Speaker 1: bio and say that, right, thank you. But you mentioned
Speaker 1: something um on the episode that we were on, and
Speaker 1: you talked about a transitional moment. But I thought it
Speaker 1: was interesting because even recently you put up a post
Speaker 1: and you said how your dreams kind of unfolded and
Speaker 1: came to life. And I want to play a snippet
Speaker 1: of that, right, and I want you to start, and
Speaker 1: I want you to begin to tell the story how
Speaker 1: did she get there to what she is right now?
Speaker 1: So you know, we say this thing and I want
Speaker 1: to insert this guy's we asked to be great, right,
Speaker 1: you asked to be amazing, You asked God to grow,
Speaker 1: and then it starts raining. I'll take a listen. I
Speaker 1: really had a lot of um. Some would say a
Speaker 1: series of unfortunate events, but I got fired, right, before
Speaker 1: the pandemic, Like on March three, it was my last day.
Speaker 1: Um and at essence, I'll say that, and I had
Speaker 1: to like spring into action because my plan was actually
Speaker 1: to leave. Um, I was going to stay until until April.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so the end of April, I'm
Speaker 1: out and then I'm gonna getting you know, do this
Speaker 1: in the summer and um and yeah, I got told
Speaker 1: on March third that that was my last day, and
Speaker 1: I said, oh, okay. I didn't also didn't know a
Speaker 1: pandemic was coming, so I just thought, okay, maybe it's
Speaker 1: time to just go ahead and do this thing where
Speaker 1: I said I was gonna do it and just bet
Speaker 1: on myself. And so I went full throttle with it. Um.
Speaker 1: But I didn't know what I was doing. So it
Speaker 1: was just like I knew, I knew what I wanted,
Speaker 1: and I knew what I my intentions. Worse, I just
Speaker 1: went with that. Talk to me. Yeah, I just went
Speaker 1: with that. I mean, I knew that I wanted to
Speaker 1: continue to interview people because that's something that I just
Speaker 1: enjoy doing so much and and like collecting people's stories
Speaker 1: and telling them or had or being the vessel where
Speaker 1: they're able to tell their story in a different way,
Speaker 1: um that they may not have considered before. But I
Speaker 1: just wanted to keep doing that. So within the space
Speaker 1: of everything shutting down, UM, I was just like, well,
Speaker 1: everybody's at home, people are on the Graham, let me
Speaker 1: just start interviewing people on social media, like, let me
Speaker 1: just start talking to the people where the people are at, um.
Speaker 1: And it just became real quick, which was h is
Speaker 1: an interview series that I have now, Um that is
Speaker 1: just design and to like just come at people while
Speaker 1: they're in their social media scrolls, while they're in this space,
Speaker 1: just real quick, um. But it's conversations that like, what
Speaker 1: I want to do with it and what I hope
Speaker 1: I am doing, what I hope to continue to do,
Speaker 1: is to gather information from these people who have been
Speaker 1: able to unlock and get to these levels in their
Speaker 1: field that seemed untouchable for people a lot of the times.
Speaker 1: So I want to unlock what they have done, the
Speaker 1: things that they tap into, the things that they uh
Speaker 1: subscribe to believe in, you know, engage in, and make
Speaker 1: that accessible to the people who watched. So like that
Speaker 1: was always my intention and that I've been able to
Speaker 1: refine and it's so crazy too that I've been able
Speaker 1: to refine that part of not only my career, but
Speaker 1: I feel like, what is my purpose my own situation
Speaker 1: not being a part of these you know places where
Speaker 1: I felt like that validated me to be a staff
Speaker 1: member at x y z UM And it's still an
Speaker 1: amazing thing to do that that's not an easy feat um.
Speaker 1: And just because I experienced a space where I was
Speaker 1: let go in those spaces, or experience being let go
Speaker 1: in those spaces, didn't necessarily mean that I'm not supposed
Speaker 1: to be doing this um. And so I think that
Speaker 1: that is like, really what has been able to like
Speaker 1: be to shine up and made so fresh, so clean,
Speaker 1: so brand like, so brand new for me to be
Speaker 1: able to do that, to be able to see that
Speaker 1: in this in the space that I've been able to
Speaker 1: create for myself, So that to me is where the
Speaker 1: story is continuing um and in the space of And
Speaker 1: this is something that I say, I try to say
Speaker 1: it all the time because I want to burn it
Speaker 1: into my own bread as well. But we need to
Speaker 1: no matter who you are, where you are, what you are, whatever,
Speaker 1: move as though we are the shots, not that we
Speaker 1: need someone to bring us, give us, gift us, present
Speaker 1: us with a shot you like. So it's the creation
Speaker 1: for yourself versus being like, oh well, if I could
Speaker 1: just get this, or if I could just be like that,
Speaker 1: or if I could just have this following, or maybe
Speaker 1: if I get this co sign like it. That doesn't
Speaker 1: I don't think is the is the drive the drivers yourself.
Speaker 1: So the creation and the nurturing of the building of
Speaker 1: may not be cute, um, And a lot of the
Speaker 1: times it's frustrating, um. And to your point earlier, like
Speaker 1: there's no one there to tell you, you know, to
Speaker 1: do the thing. You have to say, like I have
Speaker 1: to motivate myself within it to do it. Um. And
Speaker 1: you might think that it might be easy to motivate
Speaker 1: yourself to do it when it's yours. It's not. Definitely,
Speaker 1: it's not, especially in a time like this as well, um,
Speaker 1: where there's just so much constant grieving and reminder that
Speaker 1: we're like not moving but we're moving. Um. So it's
Speaker 1: just I mean I always get like kind of off
Speaker 1: where I was going. But I think to your original
Speaker 1: question of the continuation from that clip, it's literally the
Speaker 1: doing for oneself that yeah, yeah, that that is continuing
Speaker 1: to push me, to keep me, to motivate me, to
Speaker 1: allow me to be to be ready and willing for expansion,
Speaker 1: because nobody's gonna push you, right, And that's the thing
Speaker 1: I think people feels realized. People think like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: when I work for myself, you know, I ain't working
Speaker 1: for nobody else's watch. I'm not going in for them.
Speaker 1: Do you know what you're gonna have to do for yourself?
Speaker 1: You're up for still working for some moment, it's yourself.
Speaker 1: And essentially, if you're putting a product out there that
Speaker 1: you want somebody to buy, you're essentially working for that
Speaker 1: that buy. Yeah, unless you're like revolutionizing maps and that's
Speaker 1: the ministry and the work aiming the thing that you're
Speaker 1: doing and it's making you money, you're not gonna get
Speaker 1: say layout and to rest and to this being and
Speaker 1: your you know, and your comfort. Um So I know that, like,
Speaker 1: there's a lot that it there's a lot to consider.
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, Danye, I gotta stop you. You
Speaker 1: said there's a lot to being comfort, but there's no
Speaker 1: such thing as called for when we're talking about going
Speaker 1: after dreams, because you're acquiring something that may not be
Speaker 1: standing or sitting or visually right there in front of
Speaker 1: you that you're holding is right. So then I think,
Speaker 1: and this goes to attest to the fact of how
Speaker 1: we're talking about whether or not how bad somebody is
Speaker 1: willing to work for their dreams. Like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go from a spiritual sense. Let's just go at it, right,
Speaker 1: You're like, God, let me be at my own TV show.
Speaker 1: I'm about to do a variety show with sketches. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to the film and TV where I'm on
Speaker 1: camera and I'm interviewing all the movie stars and TV personalities. Amen.
Speaker 1: But we had to realize that that Danielle they had
Speaker 1: to run to that interview and probably should have went
Speaker 1: to the doctor. It took that growth. It took that
Speaker 1: Danielle that probably lost that sleepless Nights. It took that
Speaker 1: growth to know that when the opportunity comes, what it's
Speaker 1: gonna take for the efficiency, what it's gonna take for
Speaker 1: the preparation. But here's the thing, and we want to
Speaker 1: go from a spiritual sense. And we talked about the
Speaker 1: Potter's House because you said I'm a creator. You were
Speaker 1: made by a creator. So you're essentially here to create, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and we literally say, oh God, mold me, make me better.
Speaker 1: If somebody is pressing on you, spilling you in circles,
Speaker 1: they froll a water to tears because I gotta move you.
Speaker 1: I gotta put grooves in you so when you take
Speaker 1: a step, you're not gonna slip and fall. See you're
Speaker 1: looking at it like a start, but you don't understand
Speaker 1: why you need it. I need you to get hurt
Speaker 1: so you can get that callous yeah, yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: then you get it to the fire because guess what,
Speaker 1: it's time to lock in. Here's the thing, Danielle, how
Speaker 1: can we and you tell me this, how come we
Speaker 1: can see efforts more easily with going to work out
Speaker 1: because you're pulling muscle, you're straining your sweating. Then we
Speaker 1: can't for going after the dreams? Right? Why is that?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, you said, why can't we see that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That is the same tassas that is. I mean, because
Speaker 1: it's not there's not a lot of physical gratuity to it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like you might see an
Speaker 1: ent or two, you know, come off, you might see
Speaker 1: the pants fit different, you might feel different going up
Speaker 1: the stairs and you're like, Okay, now I see why
Speaker 1: I'm doing I'm doing this smoothie challenge, like I see it.
Speaker 1: But when you're going for the dream, there's not a
Speaker 1: lot of immediate gratuity or tangible gratuity at all. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you know like that it's just it's every leap gets
Speaker 1: a reward, for sure, but you still got to actually
Speaker 1: leap and kind of see what happens from that jump.
Speaker 1: It's not just the leap and a sore um. And
Speaker 1: sometimes it might be you never you never freaking up.
Speaker 1: But the thing is it's going to require more from you,
Speaker 1: is always going to require more of you, right to
Speaker 1: to be able to get to get to that, to
Speaker 1: maintain that, and then to continue forward. So I feel
Speaker 1: like there's just so much that we need to understand
Speaker 1: comes with wanting, praying, wishing, hoping whatever for the more.
Speaker 1: It's not going to ever be this Like I feel
Speaker 1: like it's the same thing when I when I pray
Speaker 1: about like the idea of me wanting to be more
Speaker 1: patient and to be to lead with love and all
Speaker 1: those things. Right, Like it's cute, but it's a thing
Speaker 1: that comes with like a practice. It's not going to
Speaker 1: ever be. Oh, I'm gonna show up at Cinderella tomorrow
Speaker 1: and start singing with birds that it. No, it's just
Speaker 1: I'm going to be presented with opportunities to exhibit that
Speaker 1: patient said, I'm pray aim for shibit, the kindness and
Speaker 1: the love that I'm asking God to build up and
Speaker 1: within me and to show you know, other people. It's
Speaker 1: not a gift that's given in a box that you
Speaker 1: can just gied and just open and be like I
Speaker 1: am now more patient and kind. No, So you're presented
Speaker 1: with the opportunities to exhibit that behavior that you're asking for.
Speaker 1: Face that works is dead. It's always gonna be that way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I would love to be able to serve a
Speaker 1: God that was like here, you're just asking for it.
Speaker 1: But that's just not how it works. We serve a
Speaker 1: God that allows us to do the work to get
Speaker 1: the thing that we're asking for. It's not it's never
Speaker 1: free these it's never Christmas. The gifts are earned and
Speaker 1: it takes some weathering through the storm and a couple
Speaker 1: of things you said that stay because the seasons forever aims.
Speaker 1: That's how you know that you're going, That's how you
Speaker 1: know that you're growing and you don't have to stay
Speaker 1: down because down happens. What wait, come on, wait, see wait,
Speaker 1: come on, wait a minute. See you know what I's
Speaker 1: out here. You talked about patients, and you talked about
Speaker 1: the down. Right, we can understand the importance of the
Speaker 1: down when we look up at a tree. Let me
Speaker 1: say it again. We can understand the importance of a
Speaker 1: down when we look up at the tree because how
Speaker 1: tall the tree is kind of gives us an indication
Speaker 1: how deep deep the roots are. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And so when people say, wait a minute, let me
Speaker 1: go after this dream, you don't realize that you gotta
Speaker 1: wait for the leaves to sprout. It's a button there.
Speaker 1: But because if you're asking God for more and you're
Speaker 1: saying let me reach, like, look at you, you are
Speaker 1: saying let me reach it. Since the last time we spoke,
Speaker 1: I just stand in amazement of you. I look at
Speaker 1: you and I say thank you for inspiring me. You're
Speaker 1: the reason why vitamin D live right now is on
Speaker 1: I g because I said, wait a minute, I gotta
Speaker 1: come through dawing day No seriously, walking authority. So I
Speaker 1: thank you for that. But I say all that to
Speaker 1: say is that when those challenges come, because the seasons
Speaker 1: are going to change, understanding the reasoning for the patients.
Speaker 1: We can understand it when we're making food, who's eating
Speaker 1: meat that's uncooked. We can understand it when we talk about, um,
Speaker 1: working not necessarily working out. But you can talk about
Speaker 1: it when your hair is not done. You can walk
Speaker 1: outside with some white hair. That's not the style. So
Speaker 1: why can't we understand that the taller we are asking God,
Speaker 1: the girl, we're just asking for the routes to stretch out. Now,
Speaker 1: you said this on a recent interview, you said, Um,
Speaker 1: you talked about in this stage right now, how you're
Speaker 1: feeling more connected to God more than ever tell me
Speaker 1: about that. I think that it's because of where we are, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I would hate to be like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: because I'm not going anywhere. Well, yeah, there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of there was. I live in New York City,
Speaker 1: I'm in this media industry. There's a lot of ways
Speaker 1: of which distractions can just be such an easy thread
Speaker 1: of what I'm doing with this job, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, of course I have to go out
Speaker 1: to that party right after work, and of course I
Speaker 1: have to do this. Of course I have to fly
Speaker 1: out to l A to cover that and do this,
Speaker 1: and then fly back and then do that and then
Speaker 1: go over here and then cover that and before you
Speaker 1: and not to me, I'm a single girl with no children.
Speaker 1: So God bless all of you that have all the
Speaker 1: other elements involved with life. But you know, there's still
Speaker 1: I gotta have a relationship with my mom. I gotta
Speaker 1: do this, I gotta work out. Oh my gosh, I
Speaker 1: love you your relationship with your mom, you know, but
Speaker 1: not just before you know it. There's just so many
Speaker 1: things that are allowing you to not connect and to
Speaker 1: not look within and to not connect with God. And
Speaker 1: so like those I would get those little moments, you know,
Speaker 1: where I would be like I might pray when I
Speaker 1: before I go to bed, or I might just fall asleep.
Speaker 1: So now within this time, there's like really no excuse
Speaker 1: to the other than to talk to God literally all
Speaker 1: day long. Like we are in you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: we are in here. So I just spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time talking to God as I would myself, my friend,
Speaker 1: my plants, like really just like really just talk lance,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just talking at having a conversation,
Speaker 1: getting it out, stuff that like could end up on
Speaker 1: somebody's Twitter feed where it shouldn't be, you know, like
Speaker 1: just getting it out. Um. So yeah, this time I
Speaker 1: have used a lot of it to reconnect and to
Speaker 1: stay connected um with God. And I love that you
Speaker 1: said that because we talked about the connector we just
Speaker 1: talking about a relationship, right. And are you into vision boards? Yeah? Good?
Speaker 1: I have it made them because you know, I live
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. There's nowhere to put all that stuff, right,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of like now everything is kind of visual,
Speaker 1: so even putting up a rail or doing highlights or pictures,
Speaker 1: you know, you can kind of you're creating your reality.
Speaker 1: But but I do do that and then you know,
Speaker 1: in interest and all that. And you know, one thing
Speaker 1: that I found that's really helped me along with my
Speaker 1: vision board, but also is journaling. Oh yes, oh, because
Speaker 1: that's another get it out so that you don't have
Speaker 1: to get it out anywhere else. And I also I
Speaker 1: used it for my dream so because you know, one
Speaker 1: thing that you just said that was interesting is that
Speaker 1: when we talk about this whole notion of going all
Speaker 1: in and getting locked in with self, it's a communication,
Speaker 1: like you said, and if I'm the spiritual being having
Speaker 1: this human experience, this is nothing more than the physical
Speaker 1: doing couldn't get connected with the spiritual doing. So I
Speaker 1: can say, Okay, this is what I feel inside. Now
Speaker 1: I gotta see it. Yeah. And the thing is that
Speaker 1: I think that's, you know, just so amazing is that
Speaker 1: when you were talking about sun up to sundown. I
Speaker 1: don't know about you. How have you been able to
Speaker 1: balance it? Though? I don't balance it? Like what is balance?
Speaker 1: Like That's one of the things that I feel like
Speaker 1: I have an aversion towards being the person being interviewed
Speaker 1: because I feel like people see people getting interviewed and
Speaker 1: they hear them as this like sage and this wisdom,
Speaker 1: and they have all the answers. And I really don't
Speaker 1: want people to think that about me because I have
Speaker 1: no idea what I'm doing half the time, you know,
Speaker 1: not that I have no idea what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not an idiot, but like I'm just a
Speaker 1: person living life and trying things and allowing myself the
Speaker 1: freedom to dream and then go for it. So like
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I am never going to figure
Speaker 1: it out. I'm always gonna be working and being a
Speaker 1: work in progress and remixing how I approach things or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like I've always gonna be in that space of like
Speaker 1: experience and not like I know these things because I
Speaker 1: have climbed this mountain. No, I've climbed the mountain now
Speaker 1: and I'm continuing to climb the mountain. And some things
Speaker 1: have worked for me, some things that haven't worked for me.
Speaker 1: I'm just still here, but I'm here. Like that's like, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I never I don't know, I don't have no answers.
Speaker 1: I I definitely agree with you on the whole situation
Speaker 1: because if you come from a space and you're speaking
Speaker 1: your truth, you know a lot of people I feel
Speaker 1: like they cant inspired because we were come authentic of
Speaker 1: what our truth, our truth is and and yeah, we
Speaker 1: feel about something right. But then it's like that you
Speaker 1: you're starting to put me in a box I did
Speaker 1: not subscribe to. Yeah, like I don't know, it's uh
Speaker 1: light and I and I've done that to people and
Speaker 1: I still do that to people sometimes, um, people who
Speaker 1: I consider above me, and I'll call them a beacon.
Speaker 1: And this that and the third and a lot of
Speaker 1: that is because I am a reverence kind of person.
Speaker 1: I like really give giving people their flowers, and especially
Speaker 1: if you are someone who I looked at and admired
Speaker 1: and been like, you showed me something that is possible
Speaker 1: that I had no idea what's possible. So I have
Speaker 1: a feeling for you that's like and I get a chance,
Speaker 1: I get a chance to meet those people, talk to
Speaker 1: those people, sometimes befriend those people, and I just I
Speaker 1: had to like take a step back and be like,
Speaker 1: I can still feel that way towards you, but I
Speaker 1: don't have to feel like I've lifted you up on
Speaker 1: high because that's not healthy and that's not good for
Speaker 1: that person, either not myself or pressure. That's too much pressure.
Speaker 1: I've to subscis thought I was the person. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to figure things out. Some people thought it
Speaker 1: was good, and they gave me the the awards, the
Speaker 1: accolades and the list and that to be able to
Speaker 1: get to the next level. That's what's happening here. I've
Speaker 1: got some divine creature who was set on earth to
Speaker 1: be whatever. It's just that these things are happening for me,
Speaker 1: and it's happening for me in a visible crazy big scale.
Speaker 1: Do you think that's supports the whole cancel cultural situation
Speaker 1: because we build people over and we build people up
Speaker 1: to these unrealistic uh light sources, and and it doesn't
Speaker 1: allow for people to be human, It doesn't allow for
Speaker 1: people to learn lessons, it doesn't allow for people to
Speaker 1: have redemption and be redeemed, which I think is really dangerous.
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, there's certain things that are really
Speaker 1: deplorable and horrible to say as public figures, horrible to
Speaker 1: stand by, to stand on, and some things and where
Speaker 1: people are not remorseful around the dangerous, you know, divisive
Speaker 1: things that they say that is bad. But even I'm like,
Speaker 1: well we still shouldn't be having some type of conversation
Speaker 1: to open up some minds. And if that's not possible,
Speaker 1: then okay, you can be canceled over there. But I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna call it a cancel. I'm just gonna be like,
Speaker 1: I'm not excuse me, I'm not engaging. So it just
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me to say whether or not I'm
Speaker 1: canceling someone because that's not effective and it's not real
Speaker 1: and it's always just who are you in anything? What
Speaker 1: kind of conversations are we or could we possibly have?
Speaker 1: You know, like ignorance is only ignorant because people have
Speaker 1: this and I'm not. I'm not moving from this now.
Speaker 1: So it's it's I think if we get mad about
Speaker 1: the person that we are trying to cancel because they're
Speaker 1: being get they're ignorant, aren't we still aren't we being
Speaker 1: ignorant by being like no, I don't want to hear
Speaker 1: any that's it. You're like, well, okay, because you know,
Speaker 1: we don't get so caught up. And here's the thing too,
Speaker 1: like we get so caught up and with the vessel
Speaker 1: of the kind of like what the what's containing the message?
Speaker 1: But two miss out on the blessing, whether that's an idea,
Speaker 1: whether it's a new opportunity, whatever it may be. And
Speaker 1: it's like, and you know, here's the thing, like I've
Speaker 1: always had a strong relationship with God, but I've always
Speaker 1: been apprehensive to speak because I don't want anyone to
Speaker 1: say that I am a pastor if you catch me
Speaker 1: doing something that isn't subscribing to don't put me in
Speaker 1: the box. So I know I've been trying to make
Speaker 1: sure people see I do a lot of different things.
Speaker 1: It's like the same thing every day. No here, I
Speaker 1: love God, but I will post the picture of myself
Speaker 1: and lau Dree like it's I have a lot of
Speaker 1: different things. I have a lot of different things, and
Speaker 1: I think we should be allowed to be as such.
Speaker 1: And these are my little ways of trying to normalize
Speaker 1: it and trying to make sure that society allows black
Speaker 1: women to be more than just the one thing or
Speaker 1: even just women. I don't even know black women. I
Speaker 1: was about to say, no, black women to be more
Speaker 1: than the one thing. And how are you showing us that?
Speaker 1: What's your work? Um? You know, because I have my
Speaker 1: hand in so many different pots between the writing, the producing, um,
Speaker 1: the acting. Like as you say, right, my show, the
Speaker 1: Daniel Young Show has a lot of elements to it
Speaker 1: that UM allow me to showcase like I have a
Speaker 1: theater degree yas girl theater and journalism we out here,
Speaker 1: so I'm able to like do skits and stuff like
Speaker 1: that to be able to show off that type of
Speaker 1: talent um as well. And so I think also because
Speaker 1: I am a plus size woman, UM that in itself
Speaker 1: being in the spaces that I've been able to be
Speaker 1: in and continue to occupy like that in a in
Speaker 1: and of itself is enough to show folks that there's
Speaker 1: like no real limits other than the ones that we
Speaker 1: placed on ourselves. Um and so I've never allowed for
Speaker 1: myself to be like I can't do it. Well I have.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say never, because let's be real, like, yes,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of times where I said I
Speaker 1: can't do it, but I will do it. I will
Speaker 1: do it. So let me ask you this, who was
Speaker 1: your person while going up that gave you the idea
Speaker 1: that you were possible? A k inspires you. So there's
Speaker 1: so many, but too in particular or Oprah and Cadijia
Speaker 1: Jay living single and Candiesia James on living single. Yes,
Speaker 1: like not well especially you have evolved her own career,
Speaker 1: but uh, for for sure clean lands for growing up
Speaker 1: on living singles, specifically as Cadisia owning her own magazine
Speaker 1: and the struggles that she faced, like you know, it
Speaker 1: was a comedy, so they always made it funny, like
Speaker 1: she couldn't pay the bills and stuff was happening and
Speaker 1: like money was always the issue. Um So it just
Speaker 1: really like put it in my mind, a black girl
Speaker 1: I could like I could live in a place like Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: I could have my own magazine. I could have like
Speaker 1: a brown Stone, like it could be a whole thing. Um.
Speaker 1: And so to honestly look and really like I'm about
Speaker 1: to move at the end of the month and to
Speaker 1: a new apartment. Yeah, and to a new apart me
Speaker 1: Brooklyn giving living single is giving you, Candijia. And then
Speaker 1: to be in this pandemic growing and building my own
Speaker 1: media company or brick by brick. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm Candijia this media company. Yes you are.
Speaker 1: And it's it's just it's I love the way you're
Speaker 1: doing it now. It's it's um like, I see you.
Speaker 1: Here's let me just this is the wild factor, like
Speaker 1: I have life tattered in my mouth right um now,
Speaker 1: When this this podcast will be available on I Heart
Speaker 1: radio and every streaming platform, it will be after this event.
Speaker 1: But the thing that's so amazing, Danielle is that you
Speaker 1: told me about the fact of one episode eight of
Speaker 1: Stories Told podcast. You said, Dawn, my next step is
Speaker 1: to really go in there and step on camera to
Speaker 1: go into the film aspect, that TV aspect. And then
Speaker 1: I just saw on your Twitter that you're hosting like
Speaker 1: this Twitter chat with um Barbin Starr comedic film and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, wow, just to see the fruits. And
Speaker 1: then you just launched your talk show, The Danielle Young
Speaker 1: Show on YouTube no Facebook. So you told about walking
Speaker 1: in it. That's around? Is that around when we did
Speaker 1: that interview? No, That's what I'm saying, Like, you are
Speaker 1: really not on the YouTube and that's what's to be
Speaker 1: something that's looked at that. I don't think a lot
Speaker 1: of people do. People don't go into the situation and
Speaker 1: understanding how important it is for that patience and to
Speaker 1: be consistent with that word that you speak, because life
Speaker 1: and death on the palm of the tongue and your
Speaker 1: spirit knows no different. Mm hmm. That's real. And that listen.
Speaker 1: I tried to traffic in that because I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to put something on myself or someone
Speaker 1: else that isn't life, you know what I mean. I
Speaker 1: want to be able to, yeah, to speak life and
Speaker 1: receive that from because I received a lot from other people.
Speaker 1: I really do. And I'm just like, yes, God, you
Speaker 1: are just giving me all these confirmations. Um, and so
Speaker 1: I'm just like that's what I want to do for
Speaker 1: people as well. But it is, it's it's honestly, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And even when you talk about your level
Speaker 1: of ambition, right, you said something like, there's a difference
Speaker 1: when uh, black people black people in their ambition. There's
Speaker 1: just different adversities, right, It's just different kind of fertilizer
Speaker 1: that's thrown on us. Talk to me about your experiences,
Speaker 1: why you are so gun hold of me and the
Speaker 1: voice for black people and the expansion of black people
Speaker 1: because you know, you're doing work with Lena Ways and
Speaker 1: her production company and just so much. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: any work with her. Lena is just my mentor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I actually don't work with her. We're just like
Speaker 1: we were like this. But it's I don't necessarily think
Speaker 1: I am a voice for anyone other than myself. Um,
Speaker 1: but I want to be able to use the voice
Speaker 1: that I have to, like I said, speak life and
Speaker 1: to shine light on us and who we all are.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really passionate about black people in US
Speaker 1: because I am us, but also just because historically, you know,
Speaker 1: they have done so much to erase who we are,
Speaker 1: what we have done, and you know, it's like seeing
Speaker 1: it and knowing it. It's so frustrating, and it's and
Speaker 1: so being able to not only tell these stories but
Speaker 1: act as some type of historian or preserver of culture
Speaker 1: and preserver of us and our excellence and are just existence.
Speaker 1: They don't even have to be excellent, but our existence
Speaker 1: is enough for me. So I think that's what keeps
Speaker 1: me like wanting to do it and motivated to do
Speaker 1: it because I am so attached and attracted to the
Speaker 1: preservation of us and our contributions. This came to tie, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's this came to me is when, um, when you
Speaker 1: know who's you are, you know who you are, and
Speaker 1: when you talk about being great, it's all about the
Speaker 1: identification of knowing self. Um. And I say that because
Speaker 1: just as everything that you said, the things that hadn't
Speaker 1: manifested the way that you wanted to, or when you
Speaker 1: show up, you have to walk in a sense of
Speaker 1: owning who you are. And there are times that I
Speaker 1: know myself, well, I feel like I've forgotten who Dawn
Speaker 1: Day is. I second guess what I've done. Yeah, talk
Speaker 1: to myself and talk to my out myself out of situation,
Speaker 1: sabotage myself through procrastination. Is there a time that you
Speaker 1: can recall with yourself where you second guess or doubt
Speaker 1: in Danielle Because on the outside we're looking it was
Speaker 1: like everything is coming to fruition. But I think sometimes
Speaker 1: although we don't ask to be on the pedal stool,
Speaker 1: sometimes we just happened to look up because we decided
Speaker 1: to grow. And you only get elevated when you grow
Speaker 1: right right right. But tell me about, you know, on
Speaker 1: the way up there sometimes if you did second guess
Speaker 1: yourself and how did you get over that? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you so I can guess yourself all the time.
Speaker 1: It's not like growing and all that. It sounds so
Speaker 1: cute when you're hearing it on a podcast and you're
Speaker 1: watching it and people are talking about it on a panel,
Speaker 1: But it hurts and it's scary and it's unsure. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of shaky ground, um, you know. So it's
Speaker 1: it's it's growth comes with a lot to it, So
Speaker 1: it's it's always going to be new. Things are always
Speaker 1: going to be new when growth is involved, and new
Speaker 1: can manifest in a lot of different ways for people.
Speaker 1: But it's something you have not done before, So there's
Speaker 1: always going to be those feelings of like what if
Speaker 1: I got myself into like can I performed? Am I
Speaker 1: going to be able to do this? But I think
Speaker 1: that you've being in what ever space that you have
Speaker 1: expanded yourself into is proof enough that you deserve to
Speaker 1: be there and that you're supposed to be there and
Speaker 1: there is where you are. So I think that knowing
Speaker 1: that you got to that place is enough to knock
Speaker 1: out whatever imposter syndrome that comes up or whatever the case,
Speaker 1: because you're always going to have those feelings when you
Speaker 1: are elevating just because it's a new level, because like
Speaker 1: you're thinking of it like a literal building where you're like,
Speaker 1: well I want okay, and I'm gonna make it to
Speaker 1: that floor now on this floor and you're like, oh shoot,
Speaker 1: what's on this floor? But you know, or you could
Speaker 1: be like oh my god, what's on this floor? But
Speaker 1: why would you want to do that? So I would rather,
Speaker 1: you know, grow through it. Like as you go through it,
Speaker 1: like you have to literally say to yourself, I am climbing.
Speaker 1: Climbing hurts, it takes work, and it's going to be tough,
Speaker 1: but it's going to get me to something. The view
Speaker 1: is gonna be so much better up there, So let's
Speaker 1: keep going, let's keep pushing. That's literally what I tell myself.
Speaker 1: And it sucks sometimes where like you think that you're
Speaker 1: doing amazing and you get your own show and everything's
Speaker 1: happening and it's so cool, and your own friends don't
Speaker 1: even know that you have a show in your sixteen
Speaker 1: episodes in where they're like, what, what what are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't. You don't know I have a show,
Speaker 1: like I put it out every Friday like clockwork. So
Speaker 1: things like that do sometimes discourage you or kind of
Speaker 1: knock you off your your your pet a little bit.
Speaker 1: You're just kind of feeling like, but that's not I
Speaker 1: have to remind myself even that is not what I'm
Speaker 1: doing any of this for. I'm not doing it because
Speaker 1: I want you to watch me. Come on, who are
Speaker 1: you doing? I'm like, because I need you to know
Speaker 1: I have a show. I'm not doing it because you
Speaker 1: or eyeballs me to be glued to me. I'm doing
Speaker 1: it because I'm serving what I believe is my purpose.
Speaker 1: And I have a very big interest and passion around
Speaker 1: journalism and storytell a. So with or without you looking
Speaker 1: as my friend, as my fan, as an internet stranger,
Speaker 1: I would still be doing it and I will still
Speaker 1: continue to do it until I don't want to do it,
Speaker 1: and I would do something else, But who knows. I'm
Speaker 1: allowing myself to space, to enjoy what I'm doing and
Speaker 1: let you be anything. Anything that you choose, is she
Speaker 1: is for the asking? Yeah, it could be anything. He
Speaker 1: talks about friends and you know, I was watching a
Speaker 1: snippet of I G Life from a coach Stormy Stormy Wellington,
Speaker 1: and she she was in tears. I posted on my
Speaker 1: I G on my poem my feet or you know,
Speaker 1: And she talks about how choosing your friends. Don't ask
Speaker 1: you something? What has been your journey like of understanding
Speaker 1: your front of me is understanding how to make your
Speaker 1: enemy your footstool? How have you know? I like to
Speaker 1: describe certain situations and people you have to go about
Speaker 1: when you're going on the road to your dreams. Treat
Speaker 1: people like you got a white outfit on. You can't
Speaker 1: get too close. Now we'll see. I don't know how
Speaker 1: I don't. I hadn't done that before, and now I
Speaker 1: understand that is important, that white out that I want
Speaker 1: to adopt that one. But um, you don't have to
Speaker 1: treat your enemies like your foot still, Like God will
Speaker 1: handle that for you. It'll be done. They will be
Speaker 1: down there helping you get to your next level. Listen,
Speaker 1: as long as you're doing what you're supposed to be doing,
Speaker 1: you don't have to do that. You don't have to
Speaker 1: ensure that you don't get to be in the room.
Speaker 1: A lot of the times when karma does come back around,
Speaker 1: and that sucks, but sometimes you don't get to me
Speaker 1: in the room for it. And that's kind of cool,
Speaker 1: but that's like, that's not a good healthy way to be.
Speaker 1: But you know, like if somebody has done you wrong,
Speaker 1: relate whatever the relationship or it worked like, and you
Speaker 1: get to see it happen. You're like, um, what I
Speaker 1: mean by that in my sermons because I think people
Speaker 1: do see that. But what I'm saying is that people
Speaker 1: will have no choice but to elevate you. And what
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? Because you're so excellent, I
Speaker 1: have to speak life because your truth radiates I can't
Speaker 1: deny enemies don't be wanting to speak life. They don't
Speaker 1: have a choice because if you're doing if you're doing
Speaker 1: what you're doing right, Say, if I tried to stop
Speaker 1: you from having your your show, right, if you're doing
Speaker 1: well in your ratings, I don't matter what I say.
Speaker 1: At some point, I'm probably the tuning in that's helping
Speaker 1: your ratings. Right, I probably have to speak because you're
Speaker 1: undeniable and you stepped in your truth. And I think, honestly,
Speaker 1: I think, to me, that's how I've understood that I
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything but sit at my right hand,
Speaker 1: stay faithful for me, and once no matter what, they
Speaker 1: will not it's not looked as to me as stepping
Speaker 1: on I looked at the steps tool. It's to uplift.
Speaker 1: Do you get on the step tool because you're like,
Speaker 1: I want to step on it? You look at it
Speaker 1: because I'm going yeah, because I'm like, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm I that ain't my job to put
Speaker 1: them there, because God has done that. God has definitely
Speaker 1: done that for me. Um and it it It's so
Speaker 1: crazy because you know, when you have been wronged or
Speaker 1: hurt in that way, you think that getting your revenge
Speaker 1: and your comment is gonna feel so good, and then
Speaker 1: it happens and you're just like, oh, I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't want that energy on me. Yeah, it's not that
Speaker 1: it's not a satisfying thing. It's more so I'm more
Speaker 1: so satisfied in knowing that God worked something out for
Speaker 1: me to where he elevated me using someone who was
Speaker 1: not trying to you know, not a journey to my best.
Speaker 1: That's the devilment for good, God for bad, God for good.
Speaker 1: It's all for your betterments. Look God, that that makes
Speaker 1: you feel good, because I'm like, wow, this is oey,
Speaker 1: This ain't nothing but the Lord so love. I do
Speaker 1: love when that happens. I'm not gonna lie. I look
Speaker 1: at you. You ready. You know you mentioned your mom before,
Speaker 1: and like I said, um to you, I just admire.
Speaker 1: We see Mama everywhere, whether it's on your episodes. You
Speaker 1: know a lot of people sometimes we forget about the foundation.
Speaker 1: And I wanted you to talk about a little bit
Speaker 1: about who your mom is and why she's so important
Speaker 1: in your life. Oh God, no, because I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: all emotional. I need you to well. I want to
Speaker 1: say a lot to me. I want to say thank
Speaker 1: you because my mother, she died nine years ago this month,
Speaker 1: and so you know, for me, it's always an admiration
Speaker 1: when I see people with their mother and people just saying, well, Dawn,
Speaker 1: why are you going so hard? I gotta go so
Speaker 1: hard because the time that I was sin, the time
Speaker 1: that I was away in New York, that's time I
Speaker 1: could have been with my mom, and my mom is
Speaker 1: the one that spoke life. It's me I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing right here from Detroit that worked at b LS,
Speaker 1: got an article in New York Times, came to l A.
Speaker 1: Didn't have anything working up but off for the Steve
Speaker 1: Harvey Morning Show. Been on television shows, game shows. When
Speaker 1: you see me, you see Janice Hill, and you know
Speaker 1: as this episode is going to be coming up in
Speaker 1: Women's his Women's History Month. I just want people to understand,
Speaker 1: like when we talk about building and who we are
Speaker 1: the foundation of that and you know whether or not
Speaker 1: you use your words. Now, I just want to say
Speaker 1: thank you because it's things that I realized that things
Speaker 1: that I would like to say that my my just
Speaker 1: so has experienced me you say, I'm just popping up
Speaker 1: and how she engaged. So thank you for sharing that beauty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know I don't love to share her because I
Speaker 1: feel the same way like I just I just don't
Speaker 1: feel like crying. It's okay live because I have known
Speaker 1: to cry on the live when I talk in a
Speaker 1: heartbeat when I talk about my mama, Um. But no,
Speaker 1: it's just because she means so much to me. And
Speaker 1: that is my second mother, because you know, my real
Speaker 1: mother passed away too, and so I just thank you
Speaker 1: for sharing that. And I just don't know what I
Speaker 1: want to go over there I was, but I mean
Speaker 1: it makes to see you who you are because you
Speaker 1: know what, you don't have to go there, but you
Speaker 1: know what, now here, here's the thing. Wow to your
Speaker 1: mother that's here? Now who I know? You know? But
Speaker 1: now Danielle, like you know, and I think sometimes like
Speaker 1: people I don't want to show themselves and that this
Speaker 1: is no about with you. But I'm just saying general,
Speaker 1: you made me feel that much more connected because although
Speaker 1: you know, I have my friends mother's that show up
Speaker 1: and call, but now you made it more really relatable
Speaker 1: to say, Dawn, you know, I too have my mother
Speaker 1: that pas my biological mother that pack. Yeah yeah, So
Speaker 1: thank you for opening that for me. Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm very very blessed because I have a
Speaker 1: second chance at having a mom and so that's why
Speaker 1: that she is important to me in that regard, um
Speaker 1: because we all, you know, we all know how easy
Speaker 1: life goes just as lo as quick as it comes
Speaker 1: and can go. And so I just like, that's why
Speaker 1: I do so much for her, because I'm just like,
Speaker 1: it's you know, she means so much and I know
Speaker 1: that her life is so fragile, and um yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just yeah, I just I hate. I just didn't I
Speaker 1: want to say that you know that look I got
Speaker 1: look I got master are of comment, but when I um,
Speaker 1: I just want to say that was something that stood out.
Speaker 1: You said it, and I should have brought put that
Speaker 1: clip out. But you talked about when you started showing
Speaker 1: up as you how the blessings came and it maybe
Speaker 1: we see the quote and we hear people say be
Speaker 1: you T foe and b e y o U, but
Speaker 1: essentially you can't even say that the world without saying
Speaker 1: you beautiful, and it's just like showing up. Do you
Speaker 1: know how many years I went without getting locks because
Speaker 1: I said that people were going to judge me. My friend,
Speaker 1: my manager, hell Castle, She was like, I don't know, Dahn,
Speaker 1: if you should do the whole lock of situation because
Speaker 1: I was short and blind and I said I want
Speaker 1: to do it. Do you know, Blessing says still came
Speaker 1: because I decided to show up as Dawn. I can't
Speaker 1: do anything else. Yes, I'm done with the yellow Sun dials.

Speaker 1: him off at Streight. That's me, and I just want
Speaker 1: people to realize be you. Yeah, so now where can
Speaker 1: we keep up with you and all the amazing stuff,
Speaker 1: because I know people have heard his story was like, wait,
Speaker 1: I want more. I want more. There's so much more,
Speaker 1: and there's so so, so much more. But you can
Speaker 1: keep up with me right here on Instagram. That's where

Speaker 1: D A N I And that's the same name for Twitter. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to to make sure that I share myself
Speaker 1: because I used to do it way. I considered it
Speaker 1: way too much. Um. I shared every little thing me
Speaker 1: and my head scarved, me struggling at the all the things,
Speaker 1: and I know that's what got people in dear towards me.
Speaker 1: But the internet is a very crazy place. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I started putting more of a wall up, not a
Speaker 1: wall to keep people from getting to don't hear anything,
Speaker 1: but just a filter to keep certain things for myself
Speaker 1: as well, especially as I'm like learning about myself and
Speaker 1: grow and go into therapy, like just trying to learn boundaries.
Speaker 1: And so I just didn't want to like open up
Speaker 1: and get all emotion about my mama, because I do
Speaker 1: want to share her with people, but also there's just
Speaker 1: so much that I sacred around well, I I applaud
Speaker 1: you for your truth, and my thing is this, I
Speaker 1: don't care what nobody's saying. I hope anybody that's going
Speaker 1: after their dream like, whatever it is, if it's against
Speaker 1: who you are, you don't have to. First of all,
Speaker 1: people realize I don't feel like you have to explain
Speaker 1: yourself for anybody, and I'm the explainer. I do that.
Speaker 1: I always say why I'm walking over here, why I'm breathing,
Speaker 1: why I'm doing this, And it's like, no, you have
Speaker 1: every right to create because I think sometimes people feel
