00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Do you like interviews normally or not? Really?

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: I don't do interviews why because over time it got

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: it like a little bit weird. I would say, I

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't like how like the headlines turn

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: into like, you know, it's always some headlines, you know.

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: I olwens feel bad for artists sometimes because it's like

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: you could be spilling your heart about your most vulnerable thing,

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: and the way the system is set up, it's like,

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: what's the headline, What's what's going to get the clicks?

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: But it's the engagement, and it makes it really hard

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: for people to connect with a connect or just yeah,

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: share yourself, share your stories. It's scary. So that's why

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm always super grateful when people show up and.

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,520

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: So my father was always on the road, like he

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: was a busy, busy man, just like that.

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,520

00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: Where my dad took my mom and my two brothers

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: in and then they had me and then Taj and

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: then they separated at like the age of nine. But

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: my mom and dad were together. They was like teenagers,

58
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: I would say. But yeah, so we just lived in

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: this big house, well, me and my brothers. My mom

60
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: was kind of just enjoying life and joining the money.

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: She never had to work, and my father was out

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: his work and doing the music.

63
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: He was doing music. He was owner of the Source, right,

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: just for people who might not know and doing well right,

65
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: like yeah financially, I mean.

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: For the most part. Yet like he was he had

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: the magazine and I was so young, so there's so

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: much like I don't know, but I do remember, like

69
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: a big house.

70
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,279
Speaker 3: I remember the big house. I remember the mics.

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: There were like awards from the Source, right, I remember,

72
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: like he had these. It was a silver one and

73
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: a gold one, like I remember the mics. But you know,

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: me and my father never really had a relationship for

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: real where he could sit down and kind of just

76
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: tell me what was really going on. So I didn't

77
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: really know what was going on. But you know, my

78
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: mom and dad relationship wasn't the best. There was a

79
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: lot of arguing all the time. I never saw my

80
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: mother and father like kiss you feel me like ever.

81
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: I probably walked in on them like in sex one time,

82
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: but like, I've never seen them a much too much.

83
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: But like I you know, I never really seen them

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: have like this.

85
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: They weren't like intimately.

86
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: No, no, maybe over time as I got older, it

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: just started growing apart. But I do remember it was

88
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: just a lot of tension between them. My father was, uh,

89
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: it was an angry person. I don't I can understand,

90
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: as me being in an industry now why it couldn't

91
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: make you angry Back then, growing up, I didn't understand.

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: I was a little mad and angry, but now I

93
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: can understand. But yeah, so you know, they parted ways.

94
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: My mom took me my brothers went to Jersey. My

95
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: brother was playing basketball, but he wanted to go to

96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: school with black kids, like he told my mom straight like,

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 2: you know, we was in the white neighborhood and he

98
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: was like, you know, I need to be in the

00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: don't want to be a token. Nah, like we we

101
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,719

00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: brother's from.

103
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: You, moved into a white neighborhood.

104
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we moved a upper soud of River. We was

00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,599

Speaker 2: always at their house. You know. Oh yeah, they did everything.

108
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: That's a good family. Oh yeah, great fun family. Brittany

110
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, so they.

111
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: What was the so when you how old are you

112
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: when they separated?

113
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: Nine?

114
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: Nine? Yeah? So you really never saw.

115
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: Now I'm saying that, like I saw like a diamond chained.

116
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: I remember my father smelling mad good. I remember my

117
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: mother having like three bracelets. One was rose gold, silver

118
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 2: and gold like brangos, but they was diamonds.

119
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: I remember a ship like that.

120
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: I or my father always like I said, smelling good.

121
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: He smelled like Sean John cologne and live Thereen and yeah,

122
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: he'll walk by you and you'll get a whiff of that.

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: And then also to my father was one of those

124
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: people like he'll come home and just make you. He

125
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: wasn't home all day, but like he'll come home and

126
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: be like, you'll clean this fucking house like I don't care,

127
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: Like we'll wake you at three a game in.

128
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: A middle of sleep, like get to clean it and

129
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: know whatever.

130
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: So it was things that I definitely respect that I

131
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: learned from my father and my mom, but I didn't

132
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: know the source and just that life. I didn't get

133
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: to really experience it. My brothers did, Mani and Kwalme did,

134
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: and Rey Ray did monomally in Taj Taj Got Taj

135
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: was born when it was gone completely, you know, when

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: it was gone, my mom separated. She took us to Hackensack.

137
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: My dad went to Miami. Yeah, I don't know why

138
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: it was like why he chose Miami, I don't know.

139
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: It was random, but yeah, we went to Jersey and

140
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: started a new life.

141
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: At that point, and you're nine, nine is ten?

142
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, nine ten?

143
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: That's tough, Yeah, because you're like where's it? Like, you know,

144
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: at that age you're trying to figure out like what

145
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: a family looks like, what are your parents? You're trying

146
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: to just figure out life. Still you're not you might

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: have been smart, but you're still nine or ten. You're

148
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: still kind of like trying to take in the world.

149
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: And so then Hackensack was good.

150
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hackensack was cool. I mean when we moved, the

151
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: like the money just disappeared. You know, my mom ain

152
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: never worked a job, so I felt like it was

153
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: hard for her to adjust, you know, after her having

154
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: that lifestyle for so long.

155
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: How does that affect you when daddy leaves and you're

156
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: nine in retrospect, like now as an adult woman.

157
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well, as a kid, it was like

158
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: me and my father really didn't have that relationship because

159
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: he was so busy. So them separating, I feel like

160
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: they didn't really affect me really, nah for real, I mean,

161
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: of course, because again I never saw them kissing, hugging stuff,

162
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: So it's not like and there was nobody ever married

163
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: in my family and besides Jah and Ayisha, those are

164
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: the only ones that's where you.

165
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Had that was like, because we all have we all

166
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: if we don't have it in our house, we try

167
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: to see it somewhere else.

168
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: And he that's that's like the proud family, like the

169
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: best family ever. Like he loved his wife, the you know,

170
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: Grandma's there. Everybody was just so it was just a family.

171
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: Everybody ate at the table.

172
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: But when you see that outside doesn't sometimes make you feel.

173
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: Like, damn, why I don't have this album? One thousand percent?

174
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would question, like why are things the way

175
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: it is? But because everything like was just moving the

176
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: way it was, I guess I just went with the flow.

177
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: I don't know.

178
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: And then also too, I was on I was team

179
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: Mom all day.

180
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: I felt like, you know, whatever my mom felt, you know,

181
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: I felt, and that's like a thing, you know, totally.

182
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: In a good way and a bad way. And sometimes

183
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: it's not fair. Yeah, sometimes you know what I mean because.

184
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: One thousand percent.

185
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: But you know, so when we separated, I guess my

186
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: mom didn't really she ain't have a lot. She started

187
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: working at the bar. That was like her first instinct.

188
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: My brother, it was every man's for themselves, that's what

189
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: I call it. When they left, it's every man for themselves.

190
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: And I got to look after Taj the baby. So

191
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: you know, my mom's working at the bar. Shet a

192
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: job she started actually started doing bartending, and like she

193
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: had her associates degree and stuff, but I don't know,

194
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: she never really did nothing with it. But she was

195
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: a great bartender, went to bartending school. And yeah, I

196
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: was there from like three pm to like one o'clock,

197
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: two o'clock in the morning every day at the bar

198
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: and then.

199
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: And the kids in the house doing whatever they want.

200
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: Kwame was outside, you know, he ended up he yeah,

201
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: he was outside. MANI ended up being outside. I ended

202
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: up being outside. It was just you know, you hit

203
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: the streets.

204
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: But what's outside, what's going on outside?

205
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: Like you? Yeah? So so me?

206
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: I was.

207
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: I had sex at a very young age.

208
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: I lost my virginity very young.

209
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: But was it like safe and consensual?

210
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: And yeah, it was very safe, very consensuous, sensual.

211
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 2: I I don't know. I I was, you know, smoking weed,

212
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 2: partying all the time, drinking.

213
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

214
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even say looking for love. I just was.

215
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: I was always outgoing and like, ah, like I want

216
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: to turn up. You know, I got like add since

217
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: a kid, Like I felt like like I just want

218
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: to move.

219
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: You're trying to grow up fast.

220
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was trying to grow up fast. For sure.

221
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: For sure, if I could have moved out, probably by

222
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: the age of thirteen, had my own job, and lived

223
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: on my own, I probably would have.

224
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: But didn't you do that early too?

225
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

226
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: Sixteen?

227
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: Sixteen is nuts?

228
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sixteen?

229
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: How does that happen? How were you on your own

230
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: at sixteen?

231
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: We had to figure it out. I mean, things started

232
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: getting worse and worse over time. My father would start

233
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: like he would be sending money through Western Union. So

234
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: when they separated, right my father went to Miami, my

235
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: moor here. We would still go to Miami, me and

236
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 2: taj only to see my dad for like vacations, so

237
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: school vacations. So that's why I used to call myself

238
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: Handa Montana because it was like the best of both worlds.

239
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: So you'll go with my mom, it's like, damn, we

240
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: fucking struggling, But you go with my dad. He's still

241
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: kind of maintaining a little bit. I remember him getting

242
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: into hip hop weekly. And you know, Dave May's my godfather,

243
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: him and his partner at the time, I'm they was

244
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: just they were they were very like my father was

245
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: always a hustler, and that's why I feel like also

246
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: I get that hustler mentality from him because he was

247
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: always a go getter no matter what. But you know,

248
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: I guess some things just don't work out. And also

249
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: I realized being in this industry, a lot of stuff

250
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: is based off relationships. And looking back at it, you know,

251
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: we had this conversation before. I remember talking about it.

252
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: He can even admit it. You know, he was angry

253
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: at one point. I feel like that burnt a lot

254
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: of bridges in his time. And you know what was

255
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: he angry about. I can't tell you. I wish he

256
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: would tell me, you know, I'm I wish I feel

257
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: like now and here's you talking about it now when

258
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 2: you know it's been like two years since we haven't spoke.

259
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: We just spoke after like two years.

260
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

261
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because like I love my father, but it's a

262
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: lot of things I don't agree with. And you know,

263
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, like as a person,

264
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: you have to fix things first with yourself before you

265
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: try to fix things outside anywhere else. And I'm also

266
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 2: that person. You know, I have to heal first and

267
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: get myself together and then I can come and sit

268
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: down and be able to be you know, but at

269
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I love them. He's still

270
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: my father.

271
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: I think, what is the thing that separated you? Like

272
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: what was the thing that hurt you or that made you?

273
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: Because I didn't have no answers like why, I'm like,

274
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: why is all this happening? And I'm like why are

275
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: we not? Is anybody saving up for us to go

276
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: to college? Like anybody gonna get us a car? Anybody

277
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: gonna you know, I guess this is being spoiled. But

278
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm just you know, ain't nobody even teaching us? Like

279
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: this is like me asking like what's next? No, Like,

280
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: are you gonna sit down and tell us what's next?

281
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: It don't even have to be financially, just sit down,

282
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: Like what what do we do for?

283
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: You want parenting?

284
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

285
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: I want guidance?

286
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: Like, but I had to learn on my own, you know,

287
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: I how to run the streets and learn on my own.

288
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: I learned a lot through my friends. I had a

289
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: lot of older friends, so I learned through them and

290
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 2: their experience and their families and their households. But you know,

291
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: and I had a lot of resentment because I didn't

292
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: understand on how like and my mom played a big

293
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: part in it. Too, because I would say she would

294
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: be in the middle us being kids, her being a parent.

295
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: You know, you be in the middle. Feel me. The

296
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 2: money you gotta go through her. Sometimes you feel me.

297
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: The decisions gotta still go through her. She might not

298
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: be feeling the right way. I don't know, you know,

299
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: you know how they they had their own issues, and

300
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: it definitely came on to us because I know my

301
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: mother like this is growing up, I hated this. My

302
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: mother used to be like, yo, you act like your father,

303
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: and my father used to be like, you act just

304
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: like your mother, And I feel like they hated each

305
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: other so much, so I'm like, yo, why do you

306
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: keep comparing me to someone that.

307
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: You like don't.

308
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: Like so bad? Like what the hell? And I was

309
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: I was so confused, so it made me like say

310
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: fuck it, like I'm gonna just do what I want.

311
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 2: What do y'all don't care? You know, all y'all care

312
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: is about whatever y'all going through and clearly, but my

313
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: mother was my biggest supporter always, like sense of jit,

314
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: I could tell her anything, you feel me, whether when

Speaker 2: I had sex for the first time, Hell yeah, I.

316
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: Told her everything because she needed to know like that happen.

Speaker 2: Blurt it out, or yeah, I got something to tell you,

320
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: Like y'all, I want to talk to me about something,

321
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: Like I'm just something on my mind, Like I gotta

322
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: say it. I'm so I'm like always been. My family's

323
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: so funny. So I'll probably be like, yo, I got

324
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: to talk to you, and like I'll be nervous, I'll

325
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: start paying and if she sees it, and then she

326
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: just be like she always made it a safe place.

327
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: She always made it a safe place no matter what

328
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to her. Yeah, she she made

329
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: me feel good about whatever. And then also too, that's

330
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: what allowed her to trust me. You know, I was

331
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: outside on my own.

332
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: But most kids at thirteen fourteen don't have that. They

333
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: like they want to hide, protect, hide anything that they

334
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: think might disappoint their parents or not tell them like

335
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: what would make you tell your mother that?

336
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: I mean? And again, you know, we had a really

337
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: good relationship. I felt like because she couldn't give us,

338
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: you know, things financially, she was just really to be there,

339
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: be there for you as a parent, as a best friend,

340
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: you know, as that older sister. For me, I'm the

341
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: only girl. I was raised by all these boys, so

342
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: our connection was just deep, you know, and still to

343
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: this day it is. My mother will go to war

344
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: for me, and I'll go to war for her. And

345
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: you know, she's not perfect. We're all not perfect. My

346
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: father's not perfect, but she is someone who still to

347
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: this day, we're locked in. I'll tell her whatever, you.

348
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Tell her everything. That's beautiful to have that.

349
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: You know, we went through really rough times, like we

350
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: hit rock bottom to the point where like I remember

351
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: coming home from school and it's an eviction notice on

352
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: our door.

Speaker 1: Oh, that's the worst.

354
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was real bad.

355
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: Put the lock on it.

356
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: Then the lock wasn't there. It was the notice. You

378
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: every man for himself and with no guidance and with

379
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,320

554
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: learning and that I was going through. It was such

555
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: a headache and you have to, you know, make sure

556
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: once you buy a house for all the kids out there,

557
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: young adults. When you purchase a home, make sure you

558
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: really understand real estate and get you somebody that can

559
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,280

560
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: Luckily, Odam my business manager, he's amazing.

561
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: You. You want to be able to maintain this house

562
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: as well. You're not just buying it. It's not just

563
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: buying the house, you know, it's about maintaining it. You

564
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: know the pipes, you know the lawn, you know, making

565
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: sure you know permits. You had a house.

566
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Nah, So that first house you bought, you bought for

567
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: your mother. Yeah that's beautiful.

568
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had little apartments and stuff. But no,

569
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: I you know, this is it, This is it.

570
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: She must be so proud.

571
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

572
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: But it's interesting what you said about it being bringing

573
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: up like PTSD, because I always think, like even that

574
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: little girl and you who was like wanting for something,

575
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: It's probably part of what drives you. It's probably part

576
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: of what makes you so ambitious and driven. It's because

577
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: you're trying to fill that hole of something maybe that

578
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: you didn't have as a kid. But also our parents,

579
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: even though we like to put them on a pedestal

580
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: and we think they should have had it all figured out,

581
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: we realize they're like humans and we're going through trauma

582
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: and going through shit also at the same time, and

583
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: so she probably was going through some trauma that's coming

584
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: up for her now. Well, like you said, that's interesting

585
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, Like what does she have like fearful

586
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: of you?

587
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: I feel like she she you know, she's like she

588
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: doesn't want this life to I feel like it's fear.

589
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't.

590
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 3: I do feel like she doesn't want this life to

591
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: really like.

592
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: Consume you or make you angry.

593
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because she's one of those like one sip, if

594
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: it really affects you in a bad way, walk away

595
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 2: from it. And I'm like, there's no way I'm walking

596
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: away from it, like ever, it will consume me. I'm like,

597
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 2: it will consume me. I'm just gonna be ah to

598
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: like figure it out.

599
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: But she blamed that her relationship not working is like

600
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: this life and this business.

601
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 2: I just feel like she's dealt with so much with

602
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: my father. She always says she's seeing so much.

603
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: How does your father deal with the success because that's

604
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: got to be triggering for him in a lot of ways,

605
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: too triggering, or maybe he's just proud or maybe like

606
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

607
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 2: You know, at first it was rocky because I felt

608
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: like he couldn't handle my success. I felt like it

609
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: did come from an envious place, which is okay because

610
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: he's human and it's fine, but I felt like, you know,

611
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 2: he wants, he still wants, like he's one of those

612
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: people that feels like yo, like I still have a

613
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: story to tell, you know, I still feel like something

614
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 2: I have to say something like no, he's like I

615
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: have to say something like.

616
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: He's one of those people like let me adam the

617
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: same way you just said that no matter what happens

618
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: in this business, yeah, you're not gonna let it go right,

619
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: but you say it is it is.

620
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy because I have a song called

621
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,720

623
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 3: One of the lyrics is hate to admit it.

Speaker 2: this is how like I want, this is all I want,

629

00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: is needed to happen because this is iconic, you know,

640
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 2: because of the work that you put in, the knowledge

641
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: that you have and just who you are you and

642
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: then you never change. You always say you to yourself

643
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: like I said, I've watched I've and then also too,

644
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: we're both from the East Coast, so like you know,

645
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: everybody and I'm not even gonna lie. People in the

646
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: industry they there's not one bad.

647
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: Thing ever saying. The only thing is like Angie don't.

648
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 2: Play that shit?

649
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: Is that what they say?

650
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like she just don't play, she just don't take

651
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: no shit. But there's never nothing ever, Like you know,

652
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: people talk, but that's the only thing. It's like Angie

653
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: don't play, like she's one of them. Like you feel me,

654
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: don't you don't get on that's funny. It don't funk

655
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: with her fat Yeah, I love that.

656
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what it is. I'm like, that's why

657
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: I say we have a lot of stuff in common too,

658
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: because I was super driven, like you came from my mom,

659
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: single mom saying shit, I have a big family like you.

660
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: But same thing. I was so got this opportunity. I

661
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: found a career. And it's just like when you're like

662
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, when you have this like vision

663
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: for yourself with all the noise and all the distractions

664
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: and all the shit that you could Like I said,

665
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: it could go either way, same circumstances. Another girl could

666
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: lay down and not get up. And you know, it's

667
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: like if you find something that's over there and you

668
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: got that vision, at all times, it's people trying to

669
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: get you off track. And so it's important that you

670
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: you stand in firm and who you are, what you want,

671
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: what you see. So that's probably why I get that

672
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: reputation is because I'm I'm open, but I don't like

673
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: but you're not going to distract me from like, hey,

674
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: you're not going to distract me, And there's a lot

675
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: of distracting in this business. Going on a lot of people,

676
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, with a song and a dance and this

677
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: and to that, and it's just kind.

678
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: Of like, it's so crazy to say distraction because I

679
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: tell my team, like in everybody like, the best thing

680
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: you can do is limiture distraction. Everything is a distraction

681
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: to me. Everything is as you have.

682
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: By the way, you have far more distractions than I

683
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: had coming up. I don't even know if I had

684
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: social media on my come up at how I would

685
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: have done, how I would have weathered those storms, right,

686
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: because everything you do is open for discussion and debate

687
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: and criticism at every single turn.

688
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: At this point, they run my life. They my mom

689
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: and dad. They done raised me, had they done seen

690
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: everything like you would have thought freaking go to sleep

691
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: with me every day. I'm like, what the fuck?

692
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: How do you do that? So how are you managing that?

693
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm twenty six now, Hm. As I get older,

694
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a I'm changing woman, and I'm

695
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: just like, I don't have time for your petty little

696
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: copy petty yeah, because honestly, you know, it was like

697
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: a hate train. What after no more parties during that time,

698
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: it was like this big koy hate train and I

699
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: feel like also too. That kind of molded me in

700
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: shape me now because it's like nothing I could do Talk.

701
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: To me at that moment, though, Two what was happening

702
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: and how was it affecting you?

703
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: You know, it was just like nothing I could do

704
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: just could be right. But at the same time everything

705
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: was right, everything looked so right and was so right.

706
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: But no matter what, it just still wasn't enough and

707
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't right.

708
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: Wait, when did this happen? What's after?

709
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: No more parties? Everything?

00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Why do you think why?

711
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: I feel I have no clue I have to have that.

712
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: I really don't.

713
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: I've never, like I swear, I don't. I can't even

714
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: tell you why if you go online and say, yo,

715
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: why did people not like coy or whatever? Even my

767
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: being the full creative director behind all my shit sleepless nights,

768
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,080

771
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,280

772
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,239

773
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: on me. Nah, I wasn't able to be able to

774
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,719

Speaker 2: the hell am I doing wrong? And I was doing

776
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: everything right. I'm over here getting nominated for Favorite Female.

777
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: I was already top forty Billboard when play when no

778
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: more parties drop, and then when Dirk hopped on, we

779
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 2: end up on Billboard. It's like, oh, TikTok, TikTok, TikTok.

780
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: It was just like, fuck, do you like the song

781
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: or not?

782
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: Is it hard? Or what are you feeling the pain

783
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: or not?

784
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: Like what are you talking about? It just was so confused,

785
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: and it made me so angry because I'm like, yo,

786
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm putting in work, like you know, this stuff comes

787
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 2: from the heart.

788
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: But I realized it wasn't me, like it was them.

789
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: They just ain't get it.

790
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: Do you still have some of that going on? Do

791
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: you still have to fight some of that?

792
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 2: Nah? I feel like I'm I'm really like my own

793
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: competition right now. I feel like I'm in my only

794
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 2: I feel like nobody's fucking would be respectfully and I

795
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: I do I feel like I'm so.

796
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 4: I don't mean, if that's really true and that's your

797
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: real inside, that's really admirable because it you know, I'm

798
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 4: a confident person at least because I feel like my

799
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 4: intentions are good, so I believe.

800
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: When I believe in what I'm doing, I'm not trying

801
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: to hear nobody.

802
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: That's the main reason.

803
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: But it don't mean always my skin is thick. Sometimes

804
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: it either one comment or the one thing, and it

805
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: still could take you down. It could take you down

806
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: for half a day or an hour or a week

807
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: sometimes depending on where it's coming from or what the

808
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 1: noise is of the time.

809
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: And I always love my body. But it's like after

810
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: a while when you hear like skinny skinny, skiny, skinny skinny,

811
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 2: they like, oh, you look like the dead roach fucking

812
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: just killed the bog. I'm like, ha ha, like y'all

813
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: can't come better than that. Like, but after a while,

814
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was like I again, it's not

815
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: about the music, it's not about who I am. You know,

816
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: maybe I have to do more things like this, you know,

817
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: with people like you iconic so they can actually put

818
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: some respect on my kney a little bit. Yeah, because

819
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it or not or not you know,

820
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: or you could feel how you feel because, like I said,

821
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: I think I look good. I always thought, where does

822
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 2: that come from?

823
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: How do you have that? There's so many women right

824
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: now that are especially this day with Instagram and filters

825
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: and all that shit, everybody is wants to be skinnier,

826
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: in smaller waists, bigger ass like, everybody is looking at

827
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: these images all day, young girls included, and it's really

828
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: hard to feel good about. Even when you came in,

829
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I ate this week and I

830
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: felt swollen even you know, we all every most women

831
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: that I know at some point have some insecurity about

832
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: how they look, their body, whatever. But you don't seem

833
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: to have that. My mom, what is that? How do

Speaker 2: My mom would be the one to like on them,

842
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: Like you're not letting me like you don't want to

843
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,400

00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 2: are you not wearing them? And she, like my mother

846
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:35,719

Speaker 2: I'm to think about it. I'll go and take somebody

00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: baby like she would just ship on me and I'll

Speaker 2: gotta do. She want a sweatsuit. She never was the

854
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 2: type to do too much. My mom never wore makeup,

855
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: she never wore weeds. But she felt fly, She felt

856
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: like had confidence of a fucking She was the best.

857
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 2: She was the best. I wanted to tell she was

858
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: a baddie. Yeah, so I feel like I got that

859
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: from her, for sure.

860
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: And it's never rocked like it's never you don't ever.

861
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 2: I mean, of course I think about, like, damn if

862
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 2: I want my butt to be a little bigger. But

863
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: I don't be like y'ah, you know, I think about, oh,

864
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: you know, maybe when I get pregnant. You know, I'm

865
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 2: twenty six. When I get older, I gain a little

866
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: bit of way I'll be able to, you know, get

867
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: a little thicker, probably gain a little way, get a

868
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 2: little meat, hit the gym, shape it up how I want.

869
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: That's how I think. But if it don't come, it

870
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: don't come. I'm not yeah, you know, I'm any every

871
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 2: girl want a fat butt, like if you don't want

872
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: no big moody. I think every girl wants to shake

873
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: their eyes and if anything, if anything, if you don't

874
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: want a fat butt, you want to like jiggly one

875
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: like I think everybody wants to be able to, like

876
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: just jiggle their ship a little bit. That's you still

877
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: do it. It's big as hell, as fat as fat,

878
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 2: fat as hell. Yeah, that's what I mean by fact,

879
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 2: Like everybody wants a fat but like mine, big as

880
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 2: how I love it.

881
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: A little big movie you and you're fat ass, I

882
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: can't take you.

883
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: I love that.

884
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: I think we can all take a page from that book.

885
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: It's a big feel good in because you you there's

886
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: probably girls that didn't feel good about being you know,

887
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: smaller frame that now can talk that ship and feel fly,

888
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: and some girls who are thicker would die to be small.

889
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: It's just that the Internet just gives everybody an opinion

890
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: and that everybody a chance to say the most negative,

891
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: horrible things.

892
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, I really don't. I

893
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: don't know why bodies are just like a thing. It's

894
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: like I don't know if you notice, like we go

895
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 2: through these little phases, just like the last two years

896
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: it's about bodies. The next two years is going to

897
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: be abrote to something else. It's like, I don't know,

898
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 2: or has it always been a thing?

899
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: No, it's always been the bodies has always been a thing,

900
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: especially women's bodies.

901
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: They object so much like this.

902
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: Yes, oh w what do you mean from women to women? Yeah,

903
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: of course even before we were this is an ongoing thing.

904
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: Uh whatever, you know back in the day, probably like

905
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe was like her shape was she was too

906
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: shapely at the time, and then she came and broke that.

907
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: Then everybody wanted to look like her and have that

908
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: little hour. I think, yes, just different versions at different times.

909
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 2: So but yes, I feel like it's just because like

910
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 2: do you think, I don't know, do you feel like

911
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: people where do you think it comes from?

912
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: I think people would like to objectify women and it'd

913
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: be like you're this sexual thing walking around and so

914
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: they can. They should be able to look at your body,

915
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 1: talk about your body, review your body, which we don't

916
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: do that to men, right, right? Do you do that

917
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: to other women or no.

918
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: No, I don't.

919
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean we might talk a little key key in

920
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: the car with my friends. I even gonna lie, we

921
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 3: might talk a little shit in a car.

922
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 2: But like, honestly, I've been going to church and I'm

923
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: very into with God. And one thing my pastor did

924
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: say was like, you know, she was like, you know,

925
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 2: you need to She was like, you need to get

926
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 2: rid of them friends, and that's gossiping. Stop gossiping. Like

927
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 2: she's on the a preaching and I'm like, oh you

00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: took that. I looked at my I'm like, we need

929
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: to stop gossiping. I'm like, now we need to stop it.

930
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: We need to not talk about nobody now from now one,

931
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: we everything that come out of our mouth is positive.

932
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: If you want to say something bad about her, say

933
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 2: something good about her, and now like and that's real shit,

934
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: you know.

935
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: No, it's a real thing, real thing. So why because

936
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: sometimes I check myself because I'm a little smart ass,

937
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: like like you too, sometimes I be I may want

938
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: to make it and I'll and I literally write something.

939
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: I think today it happened. I was writing something and

940
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: I just deleted it. It's like I don't want to

941
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: put that energy, like it's just because its energy. Yeah,

942
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: you get that energy. That energy at some point in

943
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: some way is going to come back to you.

944
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 2: It comes back. It sure does.

945
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: And so your past is probably right you need to

946
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: stop gossiping.

947
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 2: Yeah I do.

948
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 3: But honestly, it's something that you know habits. It's it's

949
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 3: a good habit.

950
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: And I feel like self awareness is key for sure.

951
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 2: So yes, you know, I'm aware of it, and I'm

Speaker 1: people in your corner that show up for you in

978
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,440

00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: Did you know that? No? Who know?

980
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,560

981
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: that she's funny. Yeah, she's twenty. If you're friends with her,

982
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: you probably get jokes on the load too.

985
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: So are you not sensitive about it though when people

986
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: do talk. Just to go back one last thing about that,

987
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: are you not sensitive? Because I felt like maybe you

988
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: get sensitive when people talk about you in your body

989
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: because I saw you say something like why are you talking?

990
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: Why does people my body shouldn't come out? And nobody's

991
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: not front I know that whole thing happened, but yeah,

992
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: like nobody should be mentioned in my you know, but

993
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 1: is it because sensitive about it or just because.

994
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 2: It's like don't it's like, as okay, so just how

995
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: look at it? Not the I'm like, as as black

00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: is going to go around in our world, the way

998
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: we wanted to is if we come together dead ass,

999
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: and if you're going to be that person to speak

00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: don't make it right for you to keep you know,

1006
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: making it a thing. That's how I feel about it.

1007
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: You could talk about my body, but it's like when

1008

1013
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 2: but no, I feel like, you know, like I said,

1014
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I'm sexy.

1015
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: It's funny, but it's an opportunity for you to say

1016
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: those things to Like, I don't know, isn't there opportunity

1017
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: in the discussions about it to try to change that.

1018
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 2: One thousand percent? I was just talking about this. I

1019
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: feel like I am. I want the all the young

1020
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: women and women in general to look up to me

1021

1023
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: through it. I'll go through it for them. That's another

1024
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 2: reason why I could. I couldn't get through it because

1025
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: it's like, I'll go through it for y'all, so y'all

1026
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: don't have to go through it. So for example, these

1027
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 2: it's girls that's like, they keep talking shit about Core,

1028

00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 2: feel like the girls can they don't have to go

1037
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: through what I'm going through. They can just live through

1038
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: the positive side on it.

Speaker 2: and sat down. She said, look, I ain't about to

1082
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 2: change you around, child. Excuse me, but she said, but

1083
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 2: I'm only going to stay for an hour. I'm gonna

1084
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 2: let you know something because this is your time and

1085
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 2: I like that you're here alone, so I'm just gonna

1086
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: I want to give that to you. But I want

1087
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: to let you know like you need to grow up.

1088
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: And I'm like, excuse me, you just flew, you flew

1089
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 2: across the planet like just to come tell me to

1090
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 2: grow up. But it was the best advice I could

1091
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: ever got because she was right, like, grow up, you

1092
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 2: feel me, And to me, it was like you're a

1093
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 2: big girl. Now. Try to figure out how to stop

1094
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: complaining all the time and start actually solving the problems

1095
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 2: on your own. You know, for example, if you feel

1096
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: like you're not happy, figure out on how you're gonna

1097
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: be happy. If you have kids one day and you're

1098
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 2: not happy, you're gonna have to get it together for them.

1099
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 3: You got a family to feed, you got a.

1100
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: Big career here. Get yourself together. Nobody's in charge of

1101
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 2: your happiness. You got to grow up. That's what I'm

1102
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: telling myself. So I you know, it's exactly what I did.

1103
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 2: How I am, I said, like, you know what I'm

1104
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,439
Speaker 2: about to, like give me all the things I gotta

1105
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: do to do like I want to know all the

1106
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 2: right things, like for example, you know, of course, starting

1107
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 2: to go into church, being very in tune with God,

1108
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: making sure I pray every day, like learning that you

1109
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 2: can't just pray when you want something, but praying when

1110
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,959
Speaker 2: at every single time, and really get into my spirituality,

1111
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 2: realizing like separating myself from people that I don't feel

1112
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: like is helping me grow. And then I'm I'm like, okay,

1113
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 2: I noticed, okay, I would wake up and I'm like

1114
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: hopping on social media right away. So instead of hopping

1115
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: on social media right away, I'm changing my routine up.

1116
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, pray first, open a book, read

1117
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: some positive you feel me, call your loved ones before

1118
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 2: you hop on social media, like do things like that.

1119
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 2: So and then you know, I got time. When I

1120
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 2: got time in the day to think, I want to

1121
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,919
Speaker 2: keep myself busy, so like go through the house, find

1122
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: a room that you might want to just empty, you know,

1123
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: go through the clothes that you might want to get

1124
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 2: rid of, you know, write, get a journal. I'm like

1125
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 2: writing shit down. I'm like, start a business. Gets you

1126
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, like keep yourself, yeah, positive stuff,

1127
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: and then go into the gym. That's like I'm telling

1128
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 2: you the gym. Don't look at the gym like losing weight.

1129
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 2: I wish a lot of people start to stop start

1130
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 2: marketing the gym on a mental health level, because it's

1131
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: probably one of the best things for you. Really, nah,

1132
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: for real. When I went to the gym because I'm

1133
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 2: you know, I'm very thin, skinny whatever they called me,

1134
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to try to shape up. I went

1135
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: to distract me. And then I wanted to stop smoking

1136
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 2: in the morning time. I smoked weed all day, so

1137
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, I can't smoke before the gym,

1138
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: so let me get up and go to the gym

1139
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 2: first so I don't have to smoke weed. And when

1140
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: I went to the gym, I didn't smoke weed three

1141
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 2: more hours after that because my adriddline is still there.

1142
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm hungry, my appetite is amazing. I'm like on a

1143
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 2: call like yo.

1144
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 3: So hey guys, I'm like, hey, team.

1145
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, energy, It's like you let all

1146
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 2: that anger out in them weights. You know, I'm heavy

1147
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 2: lifting and you know, talking shit to my trainer. So

1148
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: I do advice to get a trainer, though it's hard

1149
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: to do it alone. I can't see myself doing it whatever.

1150
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: I wish I could. I've tried to do the gym thing.

1151
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't have that, but I think it is. I

1152
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 1: think what you're saying is too. It's like you got

1153
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: to find something. You gotta find something that gets your

1154
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: energy off, that lets you lock into you. I just

1155
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound crazy, but I started golfing like a

1156
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. No, it's fucking fire. When

1157
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: I tell you I could talk, Brittany's like, oh god,

1158
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: she's about to talk about golf for thirty minutes. But

1159
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: I will tell you it is the only thing I

1160
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: do that I'm not multitasking. It's probably what you feel

1161
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: at the gym, right. So I'm there, I'm working, and

1162
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: then it's mental too, So I'm trying to figure out

1163
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: the little things and then you click one and you're like,

1164
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: oh shit, I bodied that, yeah, And so it's constantly

1165
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 1: and then you're whack for so long. So you have

1166
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: to calm. You have to calm yourself from the ups

1167
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: and the downs. Like you can't be golf and hit

1168
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: a bad swing and get mad, because then your next

1169
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: wing is going to be trash. So you have to

1170
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: learn how to hit the bad swing and keep yourself

1171
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: even patient so that you can hit the next one.

1172
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: So for me, it slows my up and downs down

1173
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: it and like I said, I'm not multitasking and it

1174
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: gives me something. Well, it's not work, and I'm outside

1175
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: in the grad meditation walk.

1176
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: That's what I always say.

1177
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: I always say it's meditation. And I realized that might

1178
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 1: not be everybody's thing. But I realized, fuck, I didn't

1179
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: have a thing. So I once you find the thing,

1180
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: you're like, oh I need this thing. It's probably the

1181
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: same thing for you with the gym. It's a thing

1182
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: that everybody should look for. Like it might not be

1183
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: the gym, might not be golf, it might not be whatever, meditation, yoga,

1184
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: whatever your thing is. Some people just like maybe a book,

1185
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: like you said, like to read in the morning. I

1186
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm sure there's a whole list of slew

1187
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: of things.

1188
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 2: We got to start normalizing normal life that too, That's

1189
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 2: what like people don't people forget that, Like to go.

1190
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: For a walk, Yeah, like outside and outside, Yeah exactly.

1191
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 3: You know, read a book, you know, cook a meal.

1192
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 2: Nobody cooks anymore.

1193
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: Door dash all day or Uber eats all day. It's terrible.

1194
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna lie. I kind of stopped cooking

1195
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 2: for I started working so much, and even I was

1196
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 2: a point where I cooked and worked, but work could

1197
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 2: really consume you, like it's man, listen, you gotta take

1198
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 2: care of yourself. And as recently as in the past

1199
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 2: two weeks, I'm I'm at the phase where now I'm

1200
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: understanding and trying to have more fun in realizing, like

1201
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 2: not everything got to be work work, work, work, work, work, work,

1202
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 2: work work.

1203
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 1: In real life. What do you want to do before

Speaker 2: a genius. Like I feel like if they take IQ,

1231
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: I'm really gonna have high score numbers. I swear to God.

1232
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: But don't you think it's that's the thing that's got

1233
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: you here?

1234
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1235
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: Is that belief in yourself because at any point somebody

1236
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: could have said, now you can't consist. Now you can't

1237
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: because of that, Like, at any point and you swat

1238
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: all that away, and it's really that that thing, that whatever, that.

1239
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: Thing that it's an identity.

1240
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 3: Like I know my identity.

1241
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 2: I know myself. A lot of these these girls these

1242
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 2: days don't really have an identity, you know. And that's

1243
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 2: where I feel like, that's what makes me different, because

1244
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: I have an identity. You know exactly who I am.

1245
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 2: You might not like it, but you know exactly who

1246
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:00,479
Speaker 2: I am.

1247
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna take this coiler.

1248
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 2: You're gonna take this coiler, right, I'm not the difficult.

1249
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 1: What are you most in real life? What are you

1250
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: most proud of about about yourself?

1251
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,240
Speaker 2: I'm I'm proud of my growth and who I am today,

1252
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 2: you know, versus who I was when I first walked

1253
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 2: in the industry. The way I handle my situations differently,

1254
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: how I handle my conversations differently, how I carry myself.

1255
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 1: What's the biggest difference.

1256
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: My reactions now? I'm just like you know, being very

1257
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 2: aware of the wrongs and doing what I need to do.

1258
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 2: Like I'm I'm big on I feel like there's times

1259
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 2: in my career and my life is self awareness time.

1260
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 2: This is the time where, like I'm twenty six, I

1261
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 2: really just get in tune with myself, you know, and

1262
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 2: I feel that and there's nobody that.

1263
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 3: Can take me out my my shit.

1264
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: Like I remember, before a couple of years ago, you

1265
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 2: might be able to get me out my but now

1266
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, I know exactly how to handle the situation

1267
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,240
Speaker 2: instead of me. You know, when I get my glam,

1268
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 2: I need an empty room. Before it was a party

1269
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 2: and I love that, but I realized, not everybody's a party.

1270
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 2: You're working, feel me, set up a movie, open a book,

1271
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: Let me go do your glam. Let you get your

1272
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 2: here done, figure out what you need to do, and

1273
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 2: use that time to you know, think, you know, get

1274
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 2: off Instagram, don't sit there on your phone on glammy.

1275
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: That I realize, I'm like, I'm spend too much social

1276
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 2: So while I'm in glam, I'm like trying my best

1277
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 2: to just do something different.

1278
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 3: And that's what I love about myself more.

1279
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 2: I'm very self aware and that's like the biggest thing

1280
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: you can't buy that A lot of people don't know

1281
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 2: that they are like a bad person.

1282
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: I feel like you were a bad person at well.

1283
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I was a bad person, but

1284
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 2: you know, I think I made you know, bad decisions,

1285
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 2: you know, and it's human, but a lot of people

1286
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 2: don't be aware. It's okay to make mistakes. If you

1287
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 2: make mistakes, it's fine. But like if as long as

1288
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: you're aware of it, I swear you'll be able to

1289
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 2: like get get through it.

1290
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. What do you pray for? Last question?

1291
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: What do you pray for? In real life?

1292
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 2: I pray for peace, love and happiness, and I pay

1293
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 2: pray for patience. And I always say, God, just cover

1294
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 2: my mind, Like, just cover my mind, feel me, do

1295
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 2: me a favor, and cover my mind before I walk

1296
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 2: into interview, before I do a show, because I'm always

1297
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: thinking in.

1298
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: Real life, when are you your happiest.

1299
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: I'm my happiest when I'm not working.

1300
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: Your whole team just fainted me.

1301
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 2: I am not happiest when I'm not working because it's

1302
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 2: worried free. Like if I'm going out and I'm just

1303
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 2: living my life and again work is done, that's my

1304
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 2: happiest moments. I don't have to I'm not on my phone,

1305
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking about no social media, I'm not worried

1306
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 2: about nothing. I am literally living in that moment. And

1307
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 2: that's the hardest thing to do, is to learn how

1308
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 2: to just live in the moment. If you can master

1309
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 2: by living in the moment without thinking about this or

1310
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 2: that or that or that, I'm telling you will be

1311
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 2: the biggest. And that's something that I'm mastering right now

1312
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 2: is just appreciating every moment and starting to live in

1313
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 2: every moment. You'll wake up and you could be here

1316
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 2: interviews and I don't have roll up? And now I'm

1317
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 2: thinking like, oh no, how about it's okay to be sober,
