They're like, men just don't want me because 531 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: I'm too beautiful and I'm tall. And I'm like, is 532 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: this me? 533 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 3: Now? 534 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 2: Is this what happens in your thirties? But I do 535 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 2: feel like I'm confident in my in who I am. 536 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: And I don't mean fine just an esthetically. I mean 537 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: like I know that I'm a good woman, and but 538 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: I also aesthetically I feel like I'm good looking. So 539 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: I just feel like, is that like? Because based on 540 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 2: what they're saying to me, I just found it was 541 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: so interesting that perspective because for me as a woman, 542 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 2: I always feel like men are they are they're they're 543 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: looking for certain qualities. But there's men are very triggered 544 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 2: by are they there's at least sexually by the way 545 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: a woman looks. Absolutely, But I guess that does not 546 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: necessarily translate to even if you look good, Because I asked. 547 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: Him, I'm like, so is she a good woman? 548 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: Does she have a good job? 549 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, she's. 550 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: Great, but it's too much for him, And I was like, 551 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: what I was so confused. I'm like, so she's giving 552 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 2: you everything that you asked for, but it's it's a 553 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 2: little too much. 554 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: I recognize that. I feel like this the first time 555 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: in my life that I've been able. I'm starting to 556 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: be able to be like, damn, I'm the shit right 557 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: and say it without feeling like we'd bad about it, 558 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: you know, weird. And the more I'm in front of men, 559 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: like you know, dating or whatever I'm doing, like I 560 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: want that stupid ass tender day and he was boasting 561 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: about himself and it was like mediocre and I was 562 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: just like, if he would shut the fuck up, you 563 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: would know you're sitting amongst royalty. But that's how I 564 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: was feeling. But like, I don't know who we're just 565 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: talking to.

I haven't been shown that well. 573 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: Like I just I feel like it's it's easy. 574 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 2: For me to for people to fall in love with 575 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: Fuck me and choose me are two different things. So 576 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 2: what do you mean? 577 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: Do you mean like have sex with you?

But you can and I know you 609 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: can identify with this. Had those times been taking place 610 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: right now, would you have taken it as personally? No? 611 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: Like now, no, no, And that's what I'm saying. There's 612 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: growth happening right now. 613 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: That's that's how I feel right now.

Intimately, I have 624 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 2: a serious boundary here, you know, there's a real boundary, 625 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: and it's with love.

Let's see 628 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: if you how how interested you actually are in me? 629 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 2: If I don't if we don't have sex, be friends first. 630 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 2: I mean even in our relationship with my baby daddy, 631 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 2: Like our relationship may not have been perfect, but it 632 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: lasted for a long time. I think because we were 633 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: friends first. You know, there was a we had a 634 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 2: long period of time where we it was like a 635 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 2: honeymoon period for years, Like there were no arguments. It 636 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: was beautiful. Whether or not we're meant to be together 637 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: now is something different. But the friendship, though, is what 638 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: held that for sure, And I feel like I haven't 639 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: really done that and like again, and I want to 640 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 2: do that again. I know that that's I know for sure, 641 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 2: that's something I want to take from that relationship into 642 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: my next because even thinking about the real relationship that 643 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: I got in COVID, like that was so quick, there 644 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 2: was no friendship involved. And then it was just like 645 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 2: we're getting to know each other while while having sex, 646 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 2: while it's like loving each other while integrating children, while 647 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: integrating friends, Like that's a lot of that's a lot, 648 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 2: like let's just take it one day at a time. 649 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: I think the most beautiful thing about friendship based first too, 650 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm noticing is that it comes with this, Uh, it's 651 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: easy to be radically honest when you start in a 652 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: friend's space because I'm not trying to prove shit to you. 653 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: What did I do last week? Some crazy shit? 654 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 3: Why? 655 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: That's it too. 656 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: It's the like I think, I'm like, I need you 657 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 2: to know exactly who I am. 658 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: I want you to know.

I've always lacked the courage. However, 918 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: I am not a quote person of color. Peach Caucasian. 919 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: You get that. 920 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Peach Caucasian, that's her, Shae, you get the point right. 921 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: And I do think that you are victimizing yourself by 922 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:28,280 Speaker 1: harping on statements such as we people of color end quote. 923 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: I do not think that you grew up in the 924 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: way you did because you are girls of color. I'm 925 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,359 Speaker 1: a woman. There are many more people who grew up 926 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 1: that way. I think I can relate to you on 927 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: many aspects mentioned above, in addition to being an immigrant, 928 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: growing up on social aid, not learning how to handle 929 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 1: money as a teen, and not being allowed to ask 930 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: questions because this is not what Catholic people do. I 931 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,360 Speaker 1: think if you allowed yourselves to move past that point, 932 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: you would reach a larger audience and attract many more listeners. 933 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: I hope you find this helpful. 934 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 2: You rock. 935 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: Ps. My husband is the person of color, I have 936 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 1: an eleven month old baby and live in Socaw. 937 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, well, I'm retriggered, but I'm actually I feel 938 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 3: better about it. Listen, miss Peach, and I'm only calling 939 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 3: you that because you said it. 940 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 2: Where do I begin? 941 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 1: Please don't ever address any black people and use the 942 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 1: word victimize yourselves. That's not going to go. 943 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 2: If you have a story to share and you feel 944 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,919 Speaker 2: as if that you and you've had everyone is going 945 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,439 Speaker 2: through shit. I think that that the podcast is never 946 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,720 Speaker 2: contesting that, we're never arguing whether or not women share 947 00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 2: the same struggles and humans. We're black people are not 948 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,280 Speaker 2: the only people on welfare or. 949 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that triggered as have you ever talked about welfare? 950 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 2: I'm so confused, And are also not the only people 951 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 2: that struggle with financial literacy. We're not saying that, no 952 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 2: one has ever said that. 953 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: What we are saying is, Hi, I'm a black woman, 954 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: the only woman I've ever been because that's my life. 955 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: This is me talking a black woman of color, this 956 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 1: is my experience. My name is Jamila. 957 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 2: That's what we're saying, and systematic racism exists. 958 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 1: If me speaking, if you tuning in to my show 959 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: about us about my fucking experience, and then you tell 960 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: me how I should address me and talk about my 961 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: fucking experience and what verbiage I should use to better 962 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: include a broader audience. When I didn't even fucking ask 963 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 1: you about your marketing fucking advice. It just doesn't. It 964 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense. Furthermore, Babe, like you too, and 965 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 1: I get it, and I don't want you to feel excluded, 966 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 1: nor did we ever want anyone to feel excluded. That's 967 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: not while we're here. But I want everyone to understand 968 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 1: and to know everyone has a separate experience. Erica in 969 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: Ies is similar in this sense that we both grew 970 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,440 Speaker 1: up in the same area, blocks away from one another, 971 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:26,240 Speaker 1: in a predominantly white space. So we are we share 972 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: that experience in a lot of ways, and so we 973 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 1: can only speak on that. We're not here to exclude anyone, 974 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 1: but we've lived a life of exclusion just by existing 975 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:38,919 Speaker 1: in this space. 976 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 2: Do you feel uncomfortable? 977 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 1: Good?
