Okay, to listen to this. 667 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 3: The card Strength represents determination and power like the chariot. However, 668 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 3: while the chariot signet signifies outer strength and will, the 669 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: strength and card speaks to the inner strength and the 670 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 3: human spirit's ability to overcome any obstacle.

You 681 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 3: quietly influence and persuade. Others may underestimate your power because 682 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: it is so invisible, but you should see that as 683 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 3: an advantage.

Check if you gonna raise 826 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 2: your voice to me, my motherfuck, I'm gonna raise my 827 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 2: voice at you if you come in or maybe sometimes 828 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 2: I'll pick up the tab at dinner, or you can't 829 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 2: like the way. I think millennial women are specifically ones 830 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 2: who are entrepreneurs and have their own money. We don't, 831 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 2: I guess, submit to those roles all the way. But 832 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 2: also I think a lot of men are intimidated by that, 833 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 2: and so he views me checking him or holding him 834 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 2: as accountable as me having masculine traits instead of me 835 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 2: just being your partner and holding your accountable for either 836 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 2: your actions how you make me feel. And it's just 837 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 2: like I think a lot of men assume women should 838 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 2: just sit there and be pretty, or sit there and cook, 839 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 2: sit there and fuck, sit there and just be my woman, 840 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 2: be my arm candy. And so when we show up 841 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 2: is stronger than what that looks like. It becomes like 842 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 2: a masculine feminine thing instead of. 843 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: Just feels and balanced. 844 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, but also not my nigga. You raise your voice 845 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 2: and me fuck out of here. You thought I wasn't 846 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 2: gonna raise my voice at you, right, Oh, it's not 847 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 2: a surprise. It's not surprise. I was who I was 848 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 2: when I got here. You knew the time. But it's 849 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 2: also just different because still as women were looking to 850 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 2: be wives, we're looking to be girlfriends, and unfortunately, what 851 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 2: that looks like to men is us submitting more than 852 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,400 Speaker 2: I think what we're willing to do. Like we can 853 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 2: come at our friends and be like now we check 854 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: our friends and raise our voice at our friends lah. 855 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 2: And for whatever reason, when we're in these relationships with men, 856 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 2: we become different. We become different. It's almost like we 857 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: show up with a mask when we're in a relationship 858 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 2: or with a man, and who we show up to 859 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 2: the world. And I think that that's something that as 860 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 2: women we should we should probably check why why am 861 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 2: I different with my friends? Why am I different in 862 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 2: the workplace? Why am I different with my family than 863 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 2: who I am with a man? And I think that 864 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 2: that's just almost those ingrained ideas of who we're supposed 865 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 2: to be as wise and girlfriends and partners to men. 866 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 2: Who we show up to with men, for whatever reason, 867 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 2: is completely different than who we show up in every 868 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,240 Speaker 2: other aspect of our lives. I also have to figure 869 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 2: that out. I also think that there's something that we 870 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 2: have to acknowledge that our definition as women of accountability 871 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 2: looks different than a man's definition of accountability. Right, And 872 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 2: I had that conversation with my partner about the fact 873 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 2: that he was raised by a single woman, and so 874 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 2: accountability for him was punishment. So he he processed being 875 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 2: accountable for being punished for being wrong, for doing something wrong, 876 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 2: and doing something wrong means that you are you doing 877 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 2: wrong means that you are wrong. And we know men 878 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 2: like to be men don't want to be wrong. So 879 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 2: it's got us to do with separating men conveniently separate 880 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 2: their behavior from the character they conveniently separate it. And 881 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 2: that's something that I think a lot of men, especially 882 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 2: black men who are raised in single family households, deal 883 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 2: with consistently because with a mother, that's what you deal with, right, 884 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 2: you deal with a mother with mothers of sons. Sometimes 885 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 2: not always, it's one of the other. It's either you 886 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 2: completely spoil them and they're the king of your life, 887 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 2: or you challenge him and you pressure him and you 888 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 2: put the partner expectations on him for the man that's 889 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 2: not present. And so with my partner in particular, it 890 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 2: was a little bit of both. And I think for 891 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 2: him processing being accountable, what holding him accountable looks like 892 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 2: means I'm yelling at him, I'm demeaning him. I'm belittling him, 893 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 2: I'm emasculating him, versus being able to concretely and practically 894 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 2: in the moments, separate the separate the man from the action, 895 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 2: Separate the man from the behavior. Me calling you to task. 896 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 2: Isn't me saying that you're not man enough to correct this. 897 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 2: It's not saying that you are that you're not good 898 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 2: enough in this moment. It's not It's not a character judgment. 899 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 2: It's not it's not a it's not a life judgment. 900 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 2: It's really a moment of separating the behavior, which has 901 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 2: been very challenging for my partner and I because I 902 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 2: am I am. I'm incredibly articulate, and I'm very expressive, 903 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 2: and I'm very straightform. So regularly my mother always says 904 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 2: to me, I should have been a lawyer, right, because 905 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 2: I am not a person that likes to mince words. 906 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 2: I don't like to change the base of the argument. 907 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 2: I'm a very confrontational person. I am but not but 908 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 2: not combative. I'm not interested in I'm not interested in debate. 909 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 2: I'm interested in resolution. So if I'm confrontational, it's because 910 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 2: I'm trying to get to the but also get to 911 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 2: the root of the issue, because sometimes we'll miss we'll 912 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 2: misinterpret each other over something that's not really the issue. 913 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 2: And it happened to me recently, and I had an 914 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 2: emotional breakdown and break through around something that really fucked 915 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 2: with me, that was really triggering, And it had less 916 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 2: to do with the actual circumstance of what was going 917 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 2: on and more to do with an underlying trauma from childhood, 918 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 2: around abandonment, around a lack of acknowledgment and and and 919 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 2: and validity in my feelings, in my existence. And it 920 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 2: took it took us, took me being triggered in us 921 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 2: arguing for me to get to that place. And oftentimes 922 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 2: I think women are more willing to go through that 923 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 2: process than men, which is why it's so quick. It's 924 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 2: so easy for men to be like, man, got here. 925 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 2: That's not what I'm not wrong, I'm not because it's 926 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 2: the immediate response is ego, because that's that's their sign 927 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 2: of defense too. 928 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: Well, that's my thing is that I think a lot 929 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: of like there's so there's a lot of a lot 930 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: of men identify as alpha men right like and more 931 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: popular to be alpha. 932 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: I feel like as a man, it's more popular to 933 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 2: think you're alpha. 934 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: And and but I I would also agree that there's 935 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: a lot of not alpha females that are alpha female facing, 936 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, there's a lot of 937 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: women out here that would say I'm an alpha FEMA 938 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 1: when really they're like, they're not. 939 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 2: No, I'm definitely out.

Are you sure? Cool? We trust each other? No, 968 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 3: And I think it takes a real alpha to be 969 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 3: able to when you're a fucking boss, you have to 970 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,560 Speaker 3: give away some of the power you have to You 971 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 3: can't do everything. 972 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 2: You have to know when man is in here right now, 973 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 2: ask her how long did it take me to even 974 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 2: really trust you to do some shit?

Like I'm reading and I'm reading 976 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 2: the correspondence and I'm like I could just see me 977 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 2: probably cringe, Like great, it takes me a while. What 978 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 2: I'm doing just let me ships and it is super falsy, 979 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 2: But I also it took me a while to relinquish power. 980 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 2: It took me a while to realize that building a 981 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 2: team was needed. Like I was that one in school 982 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 2: where if there was a group project, can you just 983 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,320 Speaker 2: tell me how to spell. 984 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 3: Your name. 985 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 2: Everybody? 986 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 1: Is that really alpha? Or is that because maybe you 987 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: felt you had to you had to be in controlled 988 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 1: like I don't necessarily, but. 989 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 2: Also not if I get an A or if I fail, 990 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 2: I want to know I failed because of me. I 991 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 2: don't want to fail because of someone else. Like so 992 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 2: in terms of giving someone the power as far as 993 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 2: determining my destiny or my grade or my outcome. Even 994 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 2: in terms of podcasting, oh no, let me sit here 995 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 2: and have the final stay on everything, which even in 996 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 2: terms of and it may have been just the conflict 997 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 2: of joining someone who didn't allow me the power I needed. 998 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 2: That's probably why we're independent now with our pot. There 999 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 2: were a lot of decisions where I was like me 1000 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 2: and Bridget don't get to make any decisions. This doesn't 1001 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 2: sit well with me because this is my baby, this 1002 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 2: is my show, this is our show. In terms of 1003 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 2: in a lot of decision making. I don't think we 1004 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 2: had that. And so if I don't feel like someone's 1005 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:23,759 Speaker 2: making the right decision, and now I feel like we're 1006 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 2: failing because we have no say no, we have to 1007 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 2: find a way to step up or be collaborativele. 1008 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: You want to fail because it's on you, notiod. 1009 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 2: You need that control, which which I think still carries 1010 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 2: over into romantic relationships. I think that's that too. It works, 1011 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,879 Speaker 2: and it's very advantageous for Mandy to be as free 1012 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 2: and liberated and open with her with her relationship with 1013 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 2: her partner as she is, because if not, then she's 1014 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 2: gonna feel stifled, and then he'll feel stifled. So it's 1015 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 2: it's very It's very interesting to me that even the 1016 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 2: alpha word gets thrown around because I say I'm alpha 1017 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 2: facing because I'm very submissive in my relationship. I adhere 1018 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 2: to my role in my the to the the conventional 1019 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 2: female role in my relationship. I make my man's plate. 1020 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 2: If we're laying down and he's like, Pepe, could you 1021 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,759 Speaker 2: get me some juice, I'll get up and go get 1022 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 2: him some juice. 1023 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 3: Same but sometimes a bit is tired, listen and you know, 1024 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 3: and you need to understand that. Like, I'm a human too, 1025 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 3: and I'm for the ninety percent of the time I'm 1026 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,279 Speaker 3: gonna be I'm gonna submit, like I like to cook, 1027 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 3: I like to rub a foot.

And so many people did not fuck with 1079 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,640 Speaker 1: that episode, like they were like, I don't know. 1080 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 2: I the only thing I don't agree with that is 1081 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 2: is doing that for the sake of appeasing a man. 1082 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 2: That's what what I don't I don't pose. I don't 1083 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 2: oppose the softer side of women because I grew up 1084 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 2: in New York City, which is a hard place to 1085 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 2: grow up.

It's a survival instinct. So for me, 1088 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 2: being being tough or being hard is really is a 1089 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 2: survival mechanism. It's has it's a it's a defense mechanism. 1090 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 2: It's how you figure out how to get by, which 1091 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 2: isn't wrong. But also to find a softer side for 1092 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,360 Speaker 2: me would really be the The purpose would be to 1093 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,720 Speaker 2: create balance, not to make a man feel better. About 1094 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 2: our partnership. 1095 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 3: You hit that ship on the motherfucking nose because I 1096 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 3: hate a bitch. 1097 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 2: Okay, soil. 1098 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 3: At a certain way out and then as soon as 1099 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 3: a nigga come around, this bitch is like, oh no, 1100 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 3: not me. 1101 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 2: I didn't do that. 1102 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 3: No, I didn't go out last night, Like, oh no, 1103 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 3: I didn't do that.

And I think that as women, unfortunately, 1113 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 2: especially sexually liberated ones and ones in which where our 1114 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:22,600 Speaker 2: promiscuous lifestyles may deem us less worthy to society, it's 1115 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 2: like we have to put on this mask to feel 1116 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 2: as though this is how to show up to be chosen, 1117 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 2: This is how I have to show up for a 1118 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 2: man to accept me as a girlfriend or a wife 1119 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 2: or a mother. And it makes us lose ourselves, which 1120 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,280 Speaker 2: is where the idea of how we even look at happiness. 1121 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 2: Once we get into a relationship, we're not happy. Where 1122 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 2: mothers were wise, we're all these things, but we realize 1123 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 2: we're not happy, and it's because the way your whole 1124 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 2: self that you enjoy just muted ourselves. 1125 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,800 Speaker 1: And now we're judging bitches who we used to be, 1126 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 1: and we're like, oh my gosh, such a hug.

I wish there has to be another word. 1161 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: What's another word? 1162 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:36,800 Speaker 3: Like? 1163 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, nurture, soften, like I. 1164 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,920 Speaker 2: Heard for submissive for a woman. Let me give that 1165 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 2: some thought. 1166 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: Soften. 1167 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 2: I feel like I think I think we equate submiss 1168 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 2: submission with minimization. 1169 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: I guess that's what it feels weak like that, and 1170 00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,440 Speaker 1: that's and that's my issue. 1171 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 2: With not my issue with the but that's but that's 1172 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 2: ingrained in us. That's ingrained in us. I don't think. 1173 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 2: I don't think that the the it's the word. Probably 1174 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,879 Speaker 2: this triggering. You know how white people hate the word white. 1175 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 2: They hate white privilege. It's like, I'm not privileged. I 1176 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 2: was poor, and it's like it's the word, right, it's 1177 00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 2: the word. I've had this conversation with my white family members, 1178 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 2: like let me just let's bring you down situation and rudimentary. Well, no, 1179 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,919 Speaker 2: privilege and privilege. It's not even just about privilege, poor, 1180 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,840 Speaker 2: we can. It's the word that bothers you. It's not 1181 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,200 Speaker 2: the concept. It's the word that bothers people too. I 1182 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 2: think both, it's both but but but a lot of 1183 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,200 Speaker 2: white people don't feel that they have privilege. A lot 1184 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 2: of white people still feel like they had really hard 1185 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 2: and they've grown up poor. They have not managed to 1186 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 2: pull themselves up by their bootstraps, as Americans love to 1187 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 2: fucking say, but don't actually do don't have straps, so 1188 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 2: you don't have to pull yourself you do, you have, 1189 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,719 Speaker 2: your legs are short, you don't have much to pull up. 1190 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 2: It's not you don't got to work right. These are 1191 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 2: like pussy boots because they really go almost close to 1192 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 2: our whole. I think it's I think it's the word right. 1193 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,400 Speaker 2: And so the word that the word that I reintroduced 1194 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,319 Speaker 2: to my family was advantage. Let's just call it an 1195 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 2: advantage advantage. Let's just call it a home court advantage. 1196 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 2: That's all it is. Being born white gives you a 1197 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,800 Speaker 2: home court advantage. It just means the chances are that 1198 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 2: there's no odds stacked against you, is only because of 1199 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:15,879 Speaker 2: your race. Yeah, but this isn't even a home which 1200 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 2: is wild. They came here and didn't well neither neither 1201 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 2: neither were Neither is the home court. The players don't 1202 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 2: own that court. Maybe it's like. 1203 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: Tapping into another side of your femininity because I think 1204 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: there's so many facets. I mean, that's a long way 1205 00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 1: to say it, but there's just so many facets of femininity. 1206 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 1: Some of it is like like says like, you know, 1207 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 1: like putting toothpaste on your niggas. 1208 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 2: I would not, No, But I don't think some women literally. 1209 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: Get joy from being able to nurture their man like that. 1210 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't judge a woman that does that. 1211 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 2: I like ia on the toothbrush, but you can get 1212 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,400 Speaker 2: maybe the word maybe when I when I think about submission, 1213 00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 2: even as somebody that can that is alpha facing world. 1214 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:58,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm an alpha in my own space, in 1215 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 2: my own right. But I do think most people change 1216 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 2: in relationships because you are combining, you are combining identities. 1217 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 2: Ultimately you should have your own your combining powers, so 1218 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,879 Speaker 2: you should change a little bit. Certain certain certain mannerisms, 1219 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 2: certain relationships change. Hopefully they're hopefully hopefully it's a positive 1220 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 2: influence in a way that's making you want to grow, 1221 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 2: which is uncomfortable. It's making you be okay and accepting 1222 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,720 Speaker 2: that you're going to make mistakes along the way. You're 1223 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:27,640 Speaker 2: not you're not gonna make You're not gonna do everything 1224 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 2: right for yourself or for them. Maybe maybe the better 1225 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 2: word would be equalized. Equalized, but you want to equalize. 1226 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 2: They don't like that ship. Men don't think we equal, 1227 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 2: So that equalizing ship well, because I don't want to know, 1228 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 2: because if we're gonna be really honest, most women don't 1229 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 2: want to be equal. We don't want to hold you. 1230 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 2: We don't want to be means you're gonna be. We 1231 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 2: don't want to be equal that's bullshit. It's a force 1232 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 2: we don't we don't, and. 1233 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 3: It's a fluctuate. It needs a fluctuate. 1234 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 2: But I think equalizing equal, but I don't want. 1235 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 1: But maybe that's what I'm gonna put it on my 1236 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 1: dating profile, like I need a fluctuation, a fluctuating love 1237 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 1: like love story here, like I need to have more power, 1238 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,080 Speaker 1: You need to have more power. We can come together 1239 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: and bea but it also looks but it also looks 1240 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,520 Speaker 1: different for everyone. You have to customize that. You can't 1241 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:16,520 Speaker 1: just say that you want. 1242 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 2: Well, women just want equal we want equal pay, we 1243 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 2: want equal respect, we want equal treatment. We don't want 1244 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 2: equal expectation. Because I'm women are different than men. You 1245 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,480 Speaker 2: cannot expect me to carry all of these things in 1246 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 2: this room because physically, I don't biologically have the anatomy 1247 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 2: to do it with ease the way a man does. 1248 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 2: So in terms of equality, we have to be really 1249 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 2: specific with our words about what that looks like. That's 1250 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 2: why I say, also, but also you like five eight, 1251 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 2: if five one, y'all might be able to do the 1252 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 2: same ship. No, you still can't. You know, you're a 1253 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 2: little person, So maybe a little person, many little person four. 1254 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,880 Speaker 2: Don't do this. I'm nine, I'm five to one in 1255 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 2: a quarter too. If you're a little person, does that? When? How? 1256 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 3: How even. 1257 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 2: Short bitches know this? But we had, we thought we 1258 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 2: might be on the spectrum of driving. In Florida, you 1259 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,439 Speaker 2: could get a handicapped sticker and the bitch was trying 1260 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 2: to get that, and a bitch, could you get one 1261 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 2: clothes because five one in the quarter like flunched down 1262 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 2: four eleven? Would that would have been you get a sticker? 1263 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 2: Would be convenient for that handicap. 1264 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 3: Wait, let me say one thing about this. I think 1265 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,160 Speaker 3: we also have to think about where our alpha comes from. 1266 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 3: I think a lot of women have to have had 1267 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 3: to step into their alpha power because the lack of 1268 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 3: male energy. 1269 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 2: I was about to say. A lot of us were 1270 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 2: raised by single parent households. So my mom worked two, 1271 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 2: sometimes three jobs to take care of us. We only 1272 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 2: answer to my mom. My dad came in and bought 1273 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 2: the name brand ship and sometimes made shots. But it 1274 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 2: was like my mom was really and so my idea 1275 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:08,920 Speaker 2: of being a woman came from working hard, providing for 1276 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 2: a household, and unfortunately she also stemmed the image of 1277 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 2: what I don't want to be because when she had 1278 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 2: boyfriends that came in, you're working multiple jobs, you're coming 1279 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 2: home to cook, you're paying his bills sometimes. And I 1280 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 2: still never saw a man in terms of everyone that 1281 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,320 Speaker 2: my mom dated and came in, they never showed up 1282 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 2: as a provider or showed up to even take any 1283 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,240 Speaker 2: weight off of her. It looked like and so I've 1284 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 2: only seen her work so hard, and then the nigga 1285 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 2: still cheated, and then we had to roll around with 1286 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 2: pots and pants ready to beat that nigga ass because 1287 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 2: he was taking my MoMA car to go see another sta. 1288 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 1: So maybe my question is to you, if that was 1289 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,360 Speaker 1: not your experience, do you think that you'd been out for. 1290 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 2: That's why I was dating rich niggas, because I said, 1291 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,680 Speaker 2: you know what, I'd rather cry in a rose than 1292 01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 2: a Honda. That was a real thing for me, Like, 1293 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 2: if a man is going to show up as a 1294 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 2: man and you're still gonna hurt me, I'd rather you 1295 01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 2: show up. 1296 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: And maybe I got to that's the name of the episode, right, 1297 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 1: Royce and a Honda. 1298 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 2: But also if I don't want to cry at all, 1299 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 2: I don't want to cry it all, which is no, 1300 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 2: I don't want to cry it all should be the topic. 1301 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,160 Speaker 2: I should be the of this episode. And that's a 1302 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,920 Speaker 2: good Mariah Carey song. I don't want to cry. I 1303 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,919 Speaker 2: don't want to cry it all. But however, in terms 1304 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 2: of how I viewed men, if I was going to cry, 1305 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,439 Speaker 2: I would rather my exertion to the relationship be less. 1306 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 2: And so maybe you provided, Maybe you showed up as 1307 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 2: a stepdad. Maybe you showed up in a way that 1308 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,280 Speaker 2: I felt protected, but in the way that my mom 1309 01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 2: showed up. She showed up as everything as the man 1310 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 2: and the woman's the relationship. And then I felt like 1311 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 2: the men she dated showed up almost as another child 1312 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 2: instead of showing up as a partner. And so when 1313 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,720 Speaker 2: I got into dating, I said, ain't no way. I'm 1314 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 2: gonna sit here and pay for bills, be a mother, 1315 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,240 Speaker 2: be a provider, cook, clean, clean his drawers, and he 1316 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 2: still go out and cheat on me, or he still 1317 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 2: go out and disrespect me when I show up and 1318 01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 2: give him my all. And so I was like, bet, 1319 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 2: I'd rather a man provide for me monetarily, or maybe 1320 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 2: I got a purse, or maybe he paid a bill 1321 01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 2: to where those things would be. I would be able 1322 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:10,640 Speaker 2: to make an excuse for it. 1323 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: It was the opposite. You were trying to flip. You 1324 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: flip the script I'm gonna make. 1325 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,479 Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a mid thirties comment about this different 1326 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 2: now which I'm rich. No, I'm gonna I'm gonna make 1327 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 2: a mid thirties comment about that. Young women have lowered 1328 01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,800 Speaker 2: the fucking bar. And that's why, and a lot of 1329 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,920 Speaker 2: women have a similar mentality that's one with ball players, 1330 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,440 Speaker 2: because there's there's women, there's young women that that make 1331 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 2: that scam that don't have any expectations. They will do 1332 01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 2: whatever they need to do with these men for these 1333 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 2: men just to get bills paid. That's the only expectation, 1334 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,680 Speaker 2: that's the only level of provision. And there's a lot 1335 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 2: of broken men out here thinking that that's okay, and 1336 01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 2: that that's enough to show up with other women who 1337 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 2: require more, and they don't because they don't have to. 1338 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:53,800 Speaker 3: They don't have to. 1339 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 2: A man can immediately decide, which is also why, in 1340 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 2: my mind, why so many women end up single and 1341 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 2: upset is because a man doesn't have to meet those 1342 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 2: those standards and expectations. Because if he's not gonna if 1343 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 2: he's not gonna get the if he's not gonna do 1344 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 2: the bare minimum and get what he needs from you. 1345 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 2: He's gonna find he's gonna find somebody else to do 1346 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 2: it and accept that bullshit and do whatever. So I mean, listen, 1347 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,240 Speaker 2: I don't I don't envy anyone that's in that, that's 1348 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 2: in their early twenties trying to figure it out and 1349 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 2: navigate the dating space now, because there's a lot of 1350 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 2: a lot of cute girls and and stupid rich bitches 1351 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,760 Speaker 2: that are rich off men paying for all this other shit. 1352 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 3: Riach and depressed bitch because riches don't make you happy. 1353 01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 3: A nigga who you don't like and a bunch of 1354 01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:31,600 Speaker 3: bags is not gonna make you happy. 1355 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 2: You'd be actually, when you're early twenties, it does. A 1356 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,280 Speaker 2: lot of a lot of these. A lot of these 1357 01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 2: girls are happy. I'm not gonna go a lot of these. 1358 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:40,520 Speaker 2: A lot of these young twenties bitches is happy. 1359 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,080 Speaker 3: But there are some older bitches who have the same mentality. 1360 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,439 Speaker 2: Well because they just because they don't want anything else, 1361 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 2: but also because they've never seen the value in anything else. 1362 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,120 Speaker 2: B they don't believe it exists or see they don't 1363 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 2: believe that they themselves will be able to bring the 1364 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,800 Speaker 2: equal amount to the table to be able to maintain 1365 01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,320 Speaker 2: that level of a relationship. And I think that's something 1366 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,160 Speaker 2: that's important for us as women that are now in 1367 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 2: our thirties to be like, hey, by the way, you 1368 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 2: can still be a dope ass woman and find a 1369 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 2: man that's going to meet you where you're at, because 1370 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 2: they're out there, they exist. And I feel bad because 1371 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 2: I think I think a lot of women have been 1372 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,680 Speaker 2: hurt and scorned by a lot of broken men who 1373 01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 2: were also raised by broken women, and the cycle has 1374 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,480 Speaker 2: just continued and there haven't been enough of us. Well, 1375 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 2: there just hasn't been enough of us to break that 1376 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 2: cycle of like, look, there's nothing wrong with you as 1377 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 2: a woman. If you don't want to quote unquote submit 1378 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 2: to a man, there's nothing wrong with you. You can 1379 01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 2: find a man that can meet you where you're where 1380 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,960 Speaker 2: you're at and grow with you and encourage that softer side. 1381 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 2: I think for a lot of women, the alpha personality 1382 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,840 Speaker 2: was a defense mechanism, but for some of us it's not. 1383 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 2: For some of us, it's just like nah, just as 1384 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,200 Speaker 2: that's just who the fuck I am. And there's still 1385 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 2: gonna be men that are gonna see that and be like, oh, yeah, 1386 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 2: this is dope. I like this because again, like I 1387 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 2: said earlier in the episode, I love I love how 1388 01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 2: strong and confident Mandy is. There's nothing that intimidates me 1389 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 2: about Mandy whatsoever. And her liberation and her conviction and 1390 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 2: who she is gives me creates the space for me 1391 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 2: to have freedom. She doesn't take up space. That's the 1392 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 2: other thing for women. We have to stop acting like 1393 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 2: women who are confident and are big in a room 1394 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 2: are taking up space. But they're taking up more space. 1395 01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 2: There's no limit. 1396 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 3: They're expanding the space. 1397 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 2: But think about it. If you put something y'all know 1398 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,760 Speaker 2: when I walk in a room, y'all gonta know who 1399 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 2: I am? Of course you know you take up Listen, 1400 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 2: you put a confident and convicted woman in a box, 1401 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,160 Speaker 2: she's gonna break the box. She's gonna get more box. 1402 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 2: So you're creating space for you're creating more space for 1403 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 2: more women. 1404 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,800 Speaker 3: That that's a public PSA announcement. If you are indifferent, 1405 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 3: if you're unsure, if you're thinking that you need to 1406 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,480 Speaker 3: shrink in any way, shape or form for a nigga, 1407 01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 3: a relationship, a baby, a or a friend that ain't 1408 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,479 Speaker 3: your friend, that an't your nigga, that ain't your space. 1409 01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 3: You needs to be who you are and that is 1410 01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:01,560 Speaker 3: the only way to manage us and cultivate more power 1411 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,600 Speaker 3: and better relationships and peace.
