If you're one of those people, 98 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: it can be hard for us to respond to everybody. 99 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: We haven't necessarily put out any type of like a 100 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: written guide, but this is where you can go to 101 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: really access that information for free and locally.

The 108 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: best way you know to really support the podcast is 109 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: to love us out loud. A really good way to 110 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: do that is to like subscribe and comment. Um.

UM. One night, I was 213 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: in my bed and I was looking up Latino businesses 214 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: to support. I had, you know, some extra coins, and 215 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: I found nothing. I came across absolutely zero. UM. What 216 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: I did find though, was like Nielsen Reports and Forbes 217 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: articles written by white men on how to attract the 218 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: Hispanic market right, but there was nothing being written by 219 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: us for us. There was no go to marketplace or 220 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: go to directory of Latino X businesses that I could 221 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: directly get my money to directly. So going back to 222 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: the women's groups I was a part of, I had 223 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: this idea and I just put it out there and UM, 224 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, I have this idea for shop 225 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: Latin Next, what do y'all think? And the response was amazing.

Can you post them? 228 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: So we created an Instagram We started off on Instagram 229 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: and started off as like shop Latino X Businesses. That 230 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: was the handle, and we were posting different Latino X 231 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: businesses every day. Within weeks, we received an outpour of 232 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: followers d ms of like hey can you post me 233 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: blah blah blah um and it was beautiful. UM. Bree 234 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: reached out to me via d M and was like, Hey, 235 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: if y'all need anything, I'm here. Brie and I met 236 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: at my house. I thought she was trying to kidnap, 237 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: trying to kid at her because I gave her the 238 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: wrong address, but we ended up meeting. It was like 239 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: an abandoned like truck yard or something. I was like, 240 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: oh no, I really messed up this time, guys. And 241 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: then she was like, oh I just gonna be the 242 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: wrong address. I'm like, oh, thank god not today. So 243 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: Brie and I met and yeah, she was on board 244 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: like I didn't. So at this point it was like 245 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: a couple of months in, I was like, this needs 246 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: to be something bigger, like we Instagram is great, but 247 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: we need a larger platform. So that's when we decided 248 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: to create a directory, an online directory UM which also 249 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: features content such as like listicals and articles where we 250 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: interview these business owners that would never get the recognition 251 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: from like an l a times, you know what I mean. 252 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: But they're amazing and they're powerful, and they deserve to 253 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: be heard and they deserve for their stories to be told. So. Um, 254 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: when we launched Shop Latin Next, we had a directory 255 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: of about I think we had like maybe a hundred 256 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: of businesses sign up. Yeah, and um, we had content 257 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: created by people from the community who were just felt 258 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: super empowered by our movement. And now yeah, and now we're, 259 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: you know, two years later, we're kind of pivoting and 260 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: we're leveraging tech. Um. I think, just like you ladies, 261 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: there's a lack of representation. I'm sure in like the 262 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: podcast scene, and for us, it's like I felt this 263 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: sort of imposter syndrome, but it was mostly due to 264 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: lack of resources, right, I'm like, how do I monetize 265 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: this shop at the next is growing at the same time, 266 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm broke, you know what I mean, We totally understand. 267 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: It's so frustrating, you know what. I'm sure you're here. 268 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: It's such a weird feeling when you're like, oh my gosh, 269 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: I look up to y'all thank you so much for 270 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: what you do.

UM it's called Laddie, 356 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: the latin X Association of Designers and Illustrators, And I'm 357 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: trying to think up to my head, it's like a 358 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: stupid amount of a stupidly small amoun the latin X 359 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: artists and designers in that space. It's like over eighty 360 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: percent white male dominated in graphic design industry, and graphic 361 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: design is everywhere. It's on you know, chip stickers. I mean, 362 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: you all know about that.

Because I'm 371 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: actually not from l A. I grew up all around California, 372 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: and I only grew up with like Mexican folk. I 373 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: think remember one salvy kid and I moved to Virginia 374 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: for a high school and college and I met like 375 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: a South American person for the first time in my life, 376 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: and I was like, wait, what there is a life 377 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: like what like they? I didn't know Papusa was. I 378 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: had no idea. I was so ignorant, you know. And 379 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: I think especially in l A, we're so dominated by 380 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: like one culture. Like my mission in chop Latin X 381 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: is to find the like different sub groups these different countries. 382 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: You know, after Latin X, we like highlight you know, 383 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: queer Latin X. We try to highlight every type of 384 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: different group. We are giving them a voice, like you 385 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: hear active soul time, Like We're not going to do 386 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: the work for you do the work. Well, guess what 387 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm trying to do the work I'm trying to find 388 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: up so y'all can look at it. And you you 389 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: wrote that really great article that listical about gone Chatz 390 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: right and like, and it was like I hate and 391 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: miss right, Like some folks are obviously really upset because 392 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: that's what Mexican HEGEMONI does right, you know, I want 393 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: to say, yes, I really like admire you because I 394 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people who are like part 395 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 1: of like Mexican and part another type of Latino culture, 396 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: like kind of cling to their more Mexican side. But 397 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: I feel like you really like embrace both because I'm 398 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: not Mexican American, but I admire that about you. And 399 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: I think and I feel like a lot of people 400 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: out there, they're not represented, you know, because it's so dominant. 401 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: And then you hear the Mexican I can say, y'all 402 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: on part y'all so defended um that that's so dominating. 403 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: And so I think that count article was kind of more. 404 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: It's the representation of it. It's like it's so dominanting. 405 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: I get it. It's cute, but there's other desserts. And 406 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, I got my car taken away Edward James 407 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: almost and even Mongory and cheach men and choked to 408 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: my house. So like give me a check kin of 409 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: card and they took it, you guys, they and Mario 410 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: Lopez was in the car. I am love. That's true. 411 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: It's true. Even within this is the thing that I 412 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: noticed too, So like online, even representations of Mexicanida and 413 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: Mexicans are super limited, and there's so much more, even 414 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: with a huge country. I think there's so much more, 415 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: and it's like this very stale, sort of repetitive like 416 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: series of iconographies that were limited to and we don't 417 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: need to be, you know. And I think that's what 418 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: we try to do with our project, is not used 419 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: the same ship over and over again, but like digging 420 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: deeper and finding what else is in there. I think 421 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: another reason as to why I created Shop Latina X 422 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: was I never really I I think for some like 423 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: I identifies after Latina Um growing up in the valley 424 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: I grew up in. I grew up. I lived in 425 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: North Hollywood, North Hollywood, North North and it was predominantly 426 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: working class Latinos. But I went to school in Sherman Oaks, 427 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: was mostly Jewish, rich Jewish and black kids were my friends. 428 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: The first time I ever met another Guatemalan was my 429 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: My Jewish friend was really excited to introduce me to 430 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: her nanny, who was Guatemalan who lived in the small 431 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: corridor in the west wing of her huge mansion and 432 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: Encino Um. I didn't have Latin X friends growing up. 433 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: I never felt I know that there's a say like 434 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: need the ecky need the I don't speak Spanish, so 435 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: like for me, I'm like, I'm neither here or there. 436 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: I can't relate. Um. I think growing up listening to 437 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, hearing people that the word 438 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: chicano I couldn't you know, on college campus, I know 439 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: that there was like a Chicano Center. I didn't feel 440 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: Latin x enough to enter those spaces. Um. At the 441 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: same time, I didn't feel black, like I was just 442 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: very confusing for me growing up. I think I've always 443 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: longed for community and and now I built it. Yeah, 444 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: it's really cool. And I think to um, you know, 445 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm Central American. There aren't a lot of publications that 446 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: are created created by Central Americans. I believe that it's 447 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: mostly Mexican, which isn't bad. But at the same time, 448 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: like no bout us, I can't relate to um chinginga. 449 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: I've never said that word in my life, Like I 450 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: think I probably said it like five times. Like I've 451 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: never been like, oh my gosh, you're ching gona Like 452 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: I can't relate, but it's really fine. Like the gone 453 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: shy I can't relate, So I want to reiterate what 454 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: Brees said earlier is like Shop Latinas, it's definitely our 455 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: mission to showcase all spectrums of Latini Dad. There's you know, 456 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: I think it's there's power in there in Shop Latinas 457 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: being owned by a woman Afro Latina, who Central Central American, 458 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: who had a different experience in her Latini Dad growing up, 459 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: you know. And it's just incredible to me how just 460 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: like Instagram continues to just like come through and like 461 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: bringing folks together and making these things even a possibility 462 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: at all.

And she's like one of 534 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: the mommies, you know, So she was the first woman 535 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: to put us on. It makes a difference, And I 536 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: mean like we have to also get to a point 537 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: where when folks are reaching out to us or thinking 538 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: of ways that we can contribute to even though we're 539 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: not making money at that level, but we've learned things 540 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: and how can we pass things on? Because yeah, that 541 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: full circle stuff is real, and you don't know where 542 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: folks are going to end up in twenty years. You know, 543 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: we're just started. But I think like when we think 544 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: about who's going to make long lasting impacts, whether it's 545 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: an entertainment, in business, be us, I feel like we 546 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: have to keep track of each other because where are 547 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: we going to end up? You know? Yeah for sure? Yeah, 548 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: I actually posted that on my Instagram caption yesterday when 549 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: I was posting photos like recap photos of the last 550 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: half US event. Is basically like, when you're in a 551 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: position of influence, especially as a Latino or like a 552 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: woman of color, just know that there are young girls 553 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: watching you, watching you, wondering how you did it. You 554 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean? I think taking the time aside 555 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: to be a mentor two, host events, host workshops, to 556 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: make yourself accessible to these young women and show them 557 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: how you did it, because we need more people in tech. 558 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: We need more women of color in these spaces that 559 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: we're in, you know, so always just using your even 560 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: for us to like we're not profitable. But at the 561 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: same time, like you said, I learned some things that 562 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: I can definitely share. That's why even with like the 563 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: podcasts that I listened to that I know dis is 564 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: starting to you know, she she's listened to some podcasts 565 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: because I posted it, And for me, I'm like, I 566 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: find the things that you find beneficial, like if you 567 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: have the time to post it or share it, like 568 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: do that you know, absolutely absolutely. This also brings me 569 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: um to kind of the theme of today, Like we 570 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: wanted to talk a little bit about gold digging and 571 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, because as as you both have seen and 572 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: as you shared already, there's so many Latinos creating their 573 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: own businesses and hustling and trying to create revenue streams. 574 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: And what we like to do on this podcast is 575 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: take like old like stereotypes and negative tropes about women 576 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: and flip them and actually show like the other side 577 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: of the coin. So like we have this notion like 578 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: socially of gold diggers and women out to take men's money, 579 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: but then we look around at our actual lived experiences, 580 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: and there are no fucking men with money around them. 581 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: There are no men and the ones that are around 582 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: don't have any sucking money. Gold digging war where's the gold? 583 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: You know? And we see women out here, working, working, working, hustling, 584 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: trying to make it on our own, and I'm just 585 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of wondering, like thoughts on that. Um, well, I 586 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: was we were just talking about earlier. There's this YouTube channel. 587 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: I forgot what it was, but they were talking about 588 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: the term gold digging and they're like, it was invented 589 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: by men who are fives that are mad that women 590 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: who are intends won't date them without money. And I 591 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: was like, I have to find that later and tell 592 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: you because that was like that makes a lot of fusions, 593 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: Like oh my god. But I think we want to 594 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: talk about two that like gold digging and sugar ing 595 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: are two different lanes, and I think people confuse that 596 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: like seeking arrangement, that's not gold digging, that's sugar and 597 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: the people who sign up, the men and women sign 598 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: up that want there, they know they're going to pay 599 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: money for that experience, Like that's a totally different arrangement. 600 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: Cause I think people get confused with that.

Yeah. So there's this guy that's been following 608 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: me on social media for years and I've never met him. 609 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: He lives out of state, but he dems me one 610 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: day and he asked me. He's like, hey, like, would 611 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: it be okay with you if I sponsored your nails? 612 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 1: And so he sends me money every two weeks on 613 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 1: ben Mos, I can get my nails done. Yes, bitches 614 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: shout out. And so it's true there are, contrary to 615 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: popular belief, there are men out there who want to 616 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: spend their money on women, even with nothing in return. 617 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: Because I don't shout him out publicly or anything, and 618 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: it's not pract well, you give him a little nail view, 619 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: like a little I'm not tagging him. It's like private 620 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: on Venmo, you know what I mean. But it's just 621 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: the satisfaction of knowing that he's contributing. And so what 622 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: I find too is if you kind of put that 623 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: intention out there right, or you're open to it, or 624 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: you're kind of let it be known that, like, look, 625 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: if you want to correct the wage gap and send 626 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: you money, there's an opportunity to do so. And there 627 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: will be a man out there eventually and that wants to, 628 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: that wants to, and they only want to. Yeah, every woman, 629 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: every fem should have their cash shop, Venmo, PayPal and 630 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: their bio.
