Speaker 1: you been a Professional Homegirl?

00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: Probably about I say about six months. I just started

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: this year, kid, talking about six months. Maybe a little

15
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: more give and take, but I say about six months.

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: Oh that's so cute. And how did you find PHG?

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: Actually somebody recommended to me.

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: I listened to podcasts a lot, and I'm always looking

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: for podcasts, especially like from women of color, and somebody

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: actually recommended it to me and I just fell in

21
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: love with it.

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, cute, cute.

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: So when you first heard of the Professional Homegirl, like,

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: what did it mean to you?

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: So when I first heard of it, I was like,

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: I have no idea what to expect. And then when

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: I listened to like the first the first episode.

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: From No so I haven't what I actually did.

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: Go back and listen to the very first episode. But

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: I think the first episode I listened to was one

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: of your newer ones. And then I started working my

32
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: way back. But the hooks caught me, like the titles

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: or whatever, because initially, like professional Homeground'm like, I don't

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: know they spent like it's gonna be something corporate related

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: or what. But I just loved like hearing everybody from

36
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: all walks of life. Yeah, so just like you never

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 2: know what to expect, but I love just being able

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: to hear a little bit from everybody and it gives

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: you a different perspective.

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Two cute. Now, what has been your favorite episode so

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: far and why or your favorite episodes?

42
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: So, my favorite episode South Crazy, but it was one

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: of your new ones that well, I got to the

44
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 2: it was one with the it was a lady and

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: she talked about I think her and her mother were

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: related or something.

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it was like it.

48
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Was very traumatic, but it was just I'm a. I'm

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: a criminal justice major, so like I'm always interested in

50
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: diving into like those different dynamics and different things like that.

51
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: And even though it was really traumatic, it was nice

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: to see like how she overcame that. And then you

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: also had a recent episode and I think it was

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: a young lady on there.

55
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: That was messing with the married man.

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was another good one, And.

57
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: That was a really interesting perspective because at first it

58
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: was funny because I remember you said in the episode,

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: like the purpose of this is not judgment, and initially

60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: when I came into it, I was kind of prejudging her.

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: But then when I actually heard it and I heard

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: her side of the story, it's just like okay, like

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: not saying that it was right, but it's like okay,

64
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: like I can understand like this perspective and just the

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: whole situation was kind of messing. So yeah, no, that's

66
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: why I said, because I feel like a lot of

67
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: times when you hear these, when you see the titles,

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we're just a judgmental society, even when we

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: don't try to be. So it's easy for you to

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: be like girl, you did what who? But then when

71
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: you but then when you hear her story, I was

72
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: just like wow, like that was it was heartbreaking.

73
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: It was.

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: And it's just like we've all been somewhere, we've all

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: done something. It may not have been that, but you know,

76
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: we all got a story or we all got something

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: that we too proud of or not talking. So it's

78
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: just kind of like we don't really have any room

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: to judge you that part.

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: That part. Now, do you have any questions for me?

81
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Being that you are a new professional homegirl?

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: I guess my main question is where are you from?

83
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: So I normally tell people I'm from Heaven, but I'm

84
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: originally from New York and I was raised in Memphis

85
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: and then I moved back to New York maybe like

86
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: ten fifteen years ago. So it's so funny because I

87
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: feel like my down South accent comes in when I'm

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: like super tired, and I feel like sometimes when I

89
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: do record, even though I try not to show it

90
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: or like, I'm still giving you like good energy, high energy,

91
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: but you can hear it in my voice and I'll be.

92
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: Likeugh, what was your journey?

93
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: Like, I guess what led you to want to get

94
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 2: your platform started?

95
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, to make a long story short, so not recently,

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: but I think like seven years ago, I lost my

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: grandmother and everybody know, my nana was my everything. And

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, when I was going through that process, because

99
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: I never experienced losing somebody so close to me, I

100
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: was going to therapy, and my therapist, you know, she

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: really gave me the tools and the resources to really

102
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: navigate just through life beyond grief, just like everything that

103
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: you need within this you know, this this world, because

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: this world is weird. So you know, when I was

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: going through therapy and all that good stuff, you know,

106
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to create a platform where women like us

107
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: didn't have to look far to see ourselves. But you know,

108
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: I said this before, a lot of people are not

109
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: able to to you know, to get these services that

110
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: can help them on their journey. So I just wanted

111
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: to create something where you know, it was digestible, it

112
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: was still something that you know, like when you hear it,

113
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know it's coming from a sister that

114
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: looks like us, and like something that was fun, but

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: something that's also encouragement, something that gave people hope and

116
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: just spread love and positivity. I feel like, you know,

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: a lot of the stories can be difficult to listen to,

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: but I do feel like it's still good, like it's

119
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: not too hard, like you can still like get through

120
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: the episode. And then you to me, I feel like

121
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: you feel encouraged. So that's like one of the main

122
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: reasons why. And then I just wanted to here black

123
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: women just pop they shit, you know.

124
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm thinking about starting I want to start a podcast.

125
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: I just I don't know which direction that I want

126
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: to go because initially, so I actually had a whole

127
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: logo and everything worked up and it was supposed to

128
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: be like business because I'm an entrepreneur, but kind of

129
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: like as life it's kind of progressing, I am moving

130
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 2: into like a new stage. So like I'm getting married,

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: thank you, I have bonus children now, but I don't

132
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: have any children.

133
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: And so I realized, like I'm like, I don't feel

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: like I have a lot of community in this season.

135
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: Yes, and so I'm kind of like I wanted to

136
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: do something business related, but now I'm just like, as

137
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: I'm moving into this new stage of life, it's like

138
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of people don't vocalize or

139
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: express kind of like things that I'm experiencing. Yeah, and

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: so I'm just like, yes, I'm just trying to figure

141
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: out which direction that I want to go in.

142
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: You know, I would just say just try it and

143
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: see which one works. Like I think that once you

144
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: start to build your community, you know, people are not

145
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you, and then you'll be able to

146
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: see like, oh, okay, well this topic did better, So

147
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: let me gear towards conversations that's in that type of

148
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: space compared to talking about certain things, and then you

149
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: can still you know, be able to put entrepreneur tips

150
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: here and there, because most women are entrepreneurs and they

151
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: have nine to five. So I just think it's a

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: matter of you just starting and just like navigating through it.

153
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 5: You know.

154
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I heard at the beginning of the

155
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: year life.

156
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: Just start, Like I got the logo design run and

157
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: I've been sitting on it and I literally heard like her,

158
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: just start, and I'm just.

162
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,360

00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: perfection of things, and that's how I was in the beginning,

164

Speaker 2: and a lot of us don't do that, Like I

173
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: feel like as women of color, we feel like we

174
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,359
Speaker 2: don't have the space.

175
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: To do that. That's one of the things that I

176

265
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: It's very cute. Now, when you first heard of the

266
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: Professional Homegirl, what did you think of the name? Like,

267
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: how did it make you feel?

268
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 3: Well?

269
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 8: I was like, okay, this is like it reminded me

270
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 8: of like a bunch of professional women, right getting together,

271
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 8: just gossiping or just chatting over a cup of tea

272
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 8: about life and things that are going on. You know,

273
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 8: things that people I guess people don't know. They don't

274
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 8: think that professional women do these things. So that's what

275
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 8: I thought, Just something that, you know, just a bunch

276
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 8: of girls sitting around a table having conversations. And it

277
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 8: does feel like that when I'm listening to the episodes,

278
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 8: it feels like I'm part of a conversation that's happening,

279
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 8: but I'm just silent and drinking. Yeah, he's dropping on

280
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,479
Speaker 8: a table on the tea conversation.

281
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: Now, do you have any questions for me?

282
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 8: Well, I want to know how do you feel? I mean,

283
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 8: this is such a milestone. I mean, you know the

284
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 8: statistics of most podcasts and how they don't really go

285
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 8: anywhere and they usually end after like twenty episodes or something,

286
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 8: So how do you feel about making these all these milestones.

287
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I feel I'm really proud of myself.

288
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, I feel like, you know, in

289
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: a podcast or just in business in general, like people

290
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: stop because it is a lot of hard work, being consistent.

291
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: A lot of times you don't get any money, so

292
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, we need money to survive and live out here.

293
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: So I'm really really happy that I didn't quit. I'm

294
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: really proud of myself, and I hope that people use

295
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: this platform as a form of encouragement to keep going

296
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: because if I can do it, anybody.

297
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 7: I can do it.

298
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 8: Sure you had many times where you wanted to quit, right, Yeah,

299
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 8: really hard.

300
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 7: It's like why am I doing this?

301
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, but anybody out there that ever have that question, like, well,

302
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 8: I know why you're doing this is sharing everybody's stories,

303
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 8: and it's very it's very important to have, you know,

304
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 8: stories out there for people to know that we're not

305
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 8: the only ones that are going through tough times.

306
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,840

Speaker 9: Yeah, you know.

353
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 8: So finding the right support anybody listening out there, even

354
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 8: if it's just one person.

355
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 7: You don't need a whole team.

356
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 8: If just one person can convince you to keep going,

357
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 8: listen to that person because they want to see you succeed.

358
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, facts, facts, you have any more questions, Oprah, listen.

359
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 7: I used to want to be Oprah and now she's

360
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 7: showing her ass.

361
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: Don't do don't do bixus op Man don't do bixus.

362
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 8: Listen, she just you know, I told I was telling

363
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 8: my mom about her, and I was like, she has

364
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 8: to be on one of those weight loss shots, right,

365
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 8: which I don't think that's anything she should be ashamed

366
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 8: of because we all know that she has struggled for decades.

367
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 8: She had I'm sure she has some underlining like indocrine

368
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 8: disorders and stuff, right, none of us, it's none of

369
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 8: our business. But to just lie about some of the

370
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 8: things she's lied about, I'm just like, ma'am, I can't

371
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 8: support you.

372
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: You know, she came out saying she took some type

373
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: of weight loss drunk.

374
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 8: Finally, after like my mom and I argued about this

375
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 8: like a week before, she came out and admitted this,

376
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 8: and my mom calls me.

377
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 7: It's like, oh my god.

378
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 8: So I'm just like Oprah, I need you to get

379
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 8: back and your righteous path because I can't. I can't

380
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 8: be mini Oprah when you're out here in these streets lying.

381
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 7: And carrying on the way they go.

382
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 8: But let me see if I have any other questions

383
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 8: for you, Well, do you have any plans for your

384
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 8: next big step? Do you have any like what are

00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 8: your next future plans for the podcast.

386
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: I think for me, I want to really focus on

387
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: the overall brand. I feel like a lot of people

388
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: know the Professional Homegirl only through the podcasting, and you know,

389

392
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm really big on education and reading and stuff. So

393
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, you did you? You did not stop the

394
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: You did not.

395
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,359

396
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:37,920

00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 5: not the game name.

452
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: But all right, so I feel like you have been

453
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: an avid supporter of the professional Homegirls. So when you

454
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: first heard the name, what does it mean to you?

455
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 5: So for a professional homegirl, I feel like it represents

456
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 5: kind of having the duality of being from the hood

457
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 5: but also being able to be about your business. Yes,

458
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 5: so these are the girls. Yeah, So it's all about

459
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 5: those girls who could kind of like get down and dirty.

460
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 5: They could talk the way that they talk. They can

461
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 5: have their swag, but also can make money, have business relationships,

462
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 5: network and just be you know, celebrate black girl magic. Yes,

463
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say what professional homegirl means.

464
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 10: I feel like that that's it.

00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,159

503
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: I think she did a good job. I feel like

504
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: in the beginning she was nervous, but towards the middle

505
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: and the end she started to warm up.

506
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that, but she put me onto something because

507

597
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: first day of the Professional Homegirl inception. So that was

598
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: about that where it was like for you as a friend.

599
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 14: Girl when you say the only thing I thought of

600
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 14: was us being back at Fifth Avenue and sales audit

601
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 14: and you were just pitching all these ideas like okay,

602
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 14: so I'm thinking about, you know, doing this podcast and

603
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 14: this is you know, the concept. I'm just like, yeah, yeah,

604
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 14: And you know, at the time, like I truly believed

605
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 14: and you know, the whole concept and everything. So to

606
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 14: see it now all these years later and see you know,

607
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 14: truly everything that you have accomplished, you know what I mean.

608
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 14: I'm always just like I told you, I don't know

609
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 14: why you were it. I told you it was gonna happen.

610
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 14: I told you, y'all. I used to really be at work.

611
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: When I first started in twenty nineteen, I used to

612
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: be at work like counting money, looking at receipts, and

613
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: also working on this podcast, like editing the episodes, working

614
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: on my questions. I would run to Stephanie's office and

615
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: be like, Stephanie, what do you think about this? Did

616
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: I go back to my office?

617
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 14: You still come to me, but like, okay, so I

618
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 14: got an idea, and I'm like, yeah, so when.

619
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: You first heard the name of it the professional homegirl, like,

620
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: what did it mean to you?

621
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 14: I love the name because I feel like, maybe at

622
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 14: I feel like the first time hearing it, one may

623
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 14: not think that those two words can can coincide together,

624
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 14: but you know, two things can exist at the same time.

625
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 14: So I truly love it, and I feel like a

626

Speaker 14: So I know that you did a couple for your coloring,

672
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 14: but and I really enjoyed that, right, No, I think

673
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 14: as your friend and as well as an avid listener

674
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 14: of the show, do you think you'll be adding more

675
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,800

676
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: Yes, I would love to. And I want to share

677
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: a funny story. So I was invite it to be

678
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: a part of Charla Mayne's Mental Wealth, a program that

679
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: he does every year for Mental Health Month. I think

680
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: it's like October first or something. And when I go

681
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: to events, especially now since I'm growing, like I always

682
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: have to have somebody with me because it can just

683
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: be it can be a lot and not a lie

684
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: in a bad way, but it's just I can't handle

685
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: it by myself, like helping people, talking to people, and

686
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: during the event, we were selling the coloring books. And

687
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: if you haven't had a coloring book yet, if you

688
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: haven't purchased one, shame on you. But the coloring book

689
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: is an interactive coloring book when you listen to when

690
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: you coloring, you can listen to the podcast by skinning

691
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: the QR code on the bottom of each page. So

692
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: I was so thankful that Stephanie was able to come

693
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: and support me, and y'all, when I tell you, we

694
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: were like Stephanie telling how crazy it was that day.

763
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people don't get to have

764
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: that privilege with or not even privileged, like people don't

765
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: get to have that opportunity with people, especially when people

766
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: are being perceived in a certain way. And I feel like,

767
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,759

782
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:11,240

Speaker 15: like a content creator, creative, an entrepreneur.

785
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 4: Like all of the above. Because I was just like,

786
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 4: this's a lot of work.

787
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 1: I was tired, yo, y'all. No, Lie, I just received

788
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: those lines maybe the day before. And I'm not talking

789
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: like a four to twenty four hours. I'm talking about

790
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: like that night Stephanie came over that morning. I never

791
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: felt yo. I thought I had dyslexia.

792
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 13: Yo.

793
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: It took me forever to memorize that, Like it was insane.

794
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: Stephanie was getting so frustrated, but she was trying to

795
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: keep it cool.

796
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 4: She was like, come on, girl, I was done it again.

797
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 4: You mixed it up. It's April the thirteenth, y'all.

Speaker 13: It came out really good, so yeah, did.

801
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 1: But that just goes to show you, like how much

802
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: like people don't really see the work behind the scenes,

803
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: Like you know, I think that a lot of people,

804
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: including myself, make it look so easy, and it is

805

806
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: gonna go too deep into this, but I spoke about

807
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: this earlier because somebody asked me if I ever wanted

808

00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:10,959
Speaker 1: would like to know.

937
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 17: What made you start your podcast, because that's one of

938
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 17: my dreams is to start a podcast. It's okay with

939
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 17: the world and bills, it's like, oh yeah.

940
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I think anything with a business or

941
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: just even if you started off as a hobby, like

942
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: it takes time. And even if it's not like taking

943
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: away from you financially, it takes away from you. Time

944
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: is very timely, very time consuming. So you know, for me,

945
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: I just want to create a platform where I always say,

946
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: do something that takes the least amount of money that

947
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: can possibly make you the most amount of money. And

948
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: at the time, yeah, I was doing that with podcasting.

949
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: And you know, I shared a story before. But you're

950
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: a new listener, so you probably haven't deep dive into

951
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: my old catalog yet. Yeah, but I pretty much lost

952
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: my grandmother, and you know, I was going through therapy,

953
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to be able to provide a

954
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: platform where women of color didn't have to look far

955
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: to see themselves. And I think that because of stories

956
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: like my mother and I are sisters, or I sleep,

957
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: I slept with a married man, or just any type

958
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: of topic, I think that sometimes you know, they're so tabooed,

959
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: and I feel like a lot of times people feel

960
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: like they're the only ones that's going through it. So,

961
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, it was really important for me to create

962
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: something where women that look like us can finally see

963
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: themselves and not even see themselves, but hear themselves. And

964
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: I think that when you listen to these episodes, you

965
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: hear yourself.

966
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 17: Yeah, because I I was like, I love the art

967
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 17: of conversation, so you just don't know, Like I love

968
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 17: the fact that a lot of people walk around and

969
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 17: assume just by looking at someone, like, oh, you just assume.

970
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 18: This, right, But that's just us being human.

971
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 17: But when you sit down and have a conversation, that's

972
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 17: where it could take you like whoa, Like what do

973
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 17: you mean? And so that I love that. So your

974
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 17: podcast is more meaningful to me because I don't know

975
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 17: these people, but just hearing their stories is like whoa.

976
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 17: You know, it really is like open up your eyes

977
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 17: to the world, like we're such in a bubble.

978
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah we are, especially when you're not used to certain

979
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: things within, like certain neighborhoods and stuff, so it's like,

980
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of things only happen in certain

981
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: geographic areas, so you'd be like, right right.

982
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 7: I just love that.

1024
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 13: Like I feel like this could be like the biggest

00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: I'm proud of myself and.

1089
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 13: Light over there? Yeah yeah, you.

1092
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: for I feel good. I mean, you've definitely been a

1093
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: part of my my journey and you've seen it since

1094
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: the inception of the Professional Homegirl, and it has been

1095
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: a ernie. But you know, I remember some of the

1096
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: conversations that you would help me with as far as like, oh,

1097
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: you should interview this person that person, And even when

1098
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: I interviewed the lady drug dealer from from Harlem, Like

1099
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like her conversation just really made

1100
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: me feel like, Okay, I'm onto something because I was

1101
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: able to get an emotion out of her, So you know,

1102
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: you can definitely, I definitely see the growth in the

1103
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 1: Professional Homegirl, and I'm just looking forward to what's to come.

1104
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 13: I think that's actually one of the episodes.

1105
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: I cried, yeah, my life in the streets. I think

1106
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: that was episode nine, bugget Yeah, No, it was a

1107
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: really good episode. Like what like if you listen to

1108
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: the episode and you like drug dealer stories or you

1109
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: like from New York or Harlem, like you would know

1110
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: who that is and like that shit was fire.

1111
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 13: It was. It was along with the other stories.

1112
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I think that just goes back to

1113
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: what you're saying, Like I always say, like if there's

1114
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: a Professional Homegirl, all of us like.

1115
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 13: Fu, yeah, you know what was your what was your

1116
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 13: favorite episode on three?

1117
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: My top three?

1118
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1119
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: It why, I don't know, we'll be on two hundred

1120
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: and thirty episodes. You know what, episode nineteen. I spoke

1121
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: about this earlier. I'm a BBW porn star.

1122
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:26,879
Speaker 13: That was a good one too.

1123
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: That was a good one and the reason why it

1124
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: was so good because it taught me. I mean we

1125
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: already noticed, but like, you know, we'd be having conversations

1126
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: about like having conversations on podcasts and how it's not

1127
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: as easy as people think it is. And with that

1128
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: particular story, she taught me that to go deeper. And

1129
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: because I was just being so surface level about her

1130
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: job and like what it is like to be a

1131
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: porn star all these other things, and she was funny

1132
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: as hell, but towards the end she started getting into

1133
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: how she got introduced to the industry and just you know,

1134
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: her child and her upbringing. I was like, damn, Like,

1135
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just opened up a different side

1136
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: to storytelling for me. What's another episode?

1137
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 9: I don't know.

1138
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like all my episodes are fire.

1139
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see what which episode was, Like which

1140
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: episode you feel like? I was like, because I feel

1141
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: like when I'm really really excited about the episode, I

1142
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: always hit you up be like, nah, it's one of

1143
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: these one of these ones.

1144
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 13: Say that about every episode.

1145
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: No, but some episodes I'd be like.

1146
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 13: You you you Dan would remember I'm good at this, bro,

1147
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,479
Speaker 13: So I would be asking the question.

1148
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: No, let me think, let me think, let me think.

1149
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 13: I got another question for you. I got another question.

1150
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 13: So which episode was like the most like difficult? Like

1151
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 13: when you was the recording, you was like yo, like

1152
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 13: I need to decompress, Like that was a lot like Yeah.

1153
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: So I feel like my episodes when it comes to

1154
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: child abuse are the ones that can be a little

1155
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: difficult for me. And I think that's because because I

1156
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: don't really I don't get triggered by any of my episodes,

1157
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: which is surprising because I know a lot of these

1158
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: topics are kind of hard to do or even just

1159
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: hard to listen. But I feel like with the child

1160
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: abuse stories, those really make me uncomfortable and a little sad,

1161
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: and that's only because of my upbringing with child abuse

1162
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: and stuff. So one episode is with this girl she

1163
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: shares how her mother's boyfriend was sexually abusing her. I

1164
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: think the name of that episode is I'm a Survivor

1165
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: of child abuse. Yeah. And you know what, that's so

1166
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: funny because I always I do remember episodes that do

1167
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: I have cried on and I can count on maybe

1168
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: one hand how many times I cried. And it was

1169
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: another episode that kind of got me choked up was

1170
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: about this girl I interviewed her father committed suicide, and

1171
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: that was a beautiful, a beautiful conversation, like you know,

1172
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: just her journey with starting from stigma to ending with understanding.

1173
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 13: Right, which which your platform probably provides for a lot

1174
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 13: of people because when you read it, it's when you

1175
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 13: read the title facts, you hear the story, It's like, okay,

1176
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 13: I could see like where people coming from, how people

1177
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 13: get to these for you, right, I want to speak

1178
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 13: to the poet you was like, well, the abuse part

1179
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 13: triggered you, right. Do you feel like that's the reason

1180
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 13: why that's that's something what you went through as a

1181
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 13: child hasn't led you to this path? Do you think?

1182
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, for sure, I think that. I think that

1183
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: The reason why I one of the reasons why I

1184
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: created the Professional Homegirl platform is because I always felt

1185
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: like I was the only one that was going through

1186
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: mass ship when I was growing up, and so, you know,

1187
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: when Nana had passed away and I was going through

1188
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: therapy and just like you know, having people like yourself

1189
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: and my other friends in my corner just encouraging me

1190
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: to like share my story because you just never know

1191
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: how people can heal from your story or like I

1192
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: always tell the listeners, you never know how your storyline

1193
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: can be someone else's lifeline. And I think that because

1194
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm in a more healed place, I can be able to,

1195
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, steer this boat and keep it moving, for

1196
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: it to be a just for it to be a

1197
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: place of love and hoping everything that person may need

1198
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: on their journey.

1199
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 13: Right right, Also facts, what I was going to say

1200
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 13: is do you find yourself like healing through some of

1201
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 13: these stories because it's been five years, so you know

1202
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 13: who you was five years ago?

1203
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Well, no, you can attest to that, right right, absolutely.

1204
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: I the professional homeger saved my life, like I have

1205
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: felt so many times when it came to businesses and stuff,

1206
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: and I would have never thought that by just having

1207
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: a simple conversation what placed me where I'm at in life?

1208
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: And even when I'm having hard days, I listen to

1209
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: some of these episodes and I'm like, Yo, who the

Speaker 1: she can do the videos, like she can edit the video.

1279

Speaker 1: She went to school for film video editing, you know,

1280
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: all of those amazing things. And I was like, you

1283
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,040

Speaker 9: dropping I was dropping subtle hints. I was like, damn no.

1285
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: She was like, did you hear anything from him? And

1286
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,480

1290
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, true, true. I would have though he would

1291
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: have just follow up and just gave me calm and

1292
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: curiousy saying even though me and you had already been solidified.

1293
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,760

01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to be able to do the

1295

01:05:58,600 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 9: Something.

1297
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you know when you first heard of The

1298
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Professional Homegirl because you heard it heard about it through

1299
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: our metual friend Judith, What did you think about it?

1300
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 9: Is?

1301
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: What's the first thing that came to mind?

1302
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 9: Well, when you told me the name of it, I

1303
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 9: was like ooh, like what is that about? Like what

1304
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 9: are these episodes going to be about? And then I

1305
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 9: started seeing the titles of the episodes and I was

1306
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 9: like whoa, yeah, and I was like, Okay, they're not

1307
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 9: Like it's not like it's the same thing every time,

1308
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 9: Like you have such a variety of guests, and I

1309
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 9: think I started when you were doing you were releasing

1310
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 9: my mother is a dust lady, and I was like, wow,

1311
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 9: this is I had never heard of that. I was like,

1312
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 9: this is so interesting.

1313
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true. That is true. Yeah.

1314
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, And like for anyone who just like I mean,

1315
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 9: obviously you have followers who have been listening for years,

1316
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 9: maybe something from the beginning, but for someone who's just

1317
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 9: coming across either your social media or your podcast, it's

1318
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 9: so nice because you have such a pready, like established collection.

1319
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1320
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 9: And it was just like I was just scrolling and

1321
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 9: scrolling and just going through the episodes. I was like,

1322
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 9: all right, I got it, I got things to you.

1323
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 9: I can't just be here all day. But it was

1324
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 9: just so interesting. Every episode is so different, Every guest

1325
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 9: is so different, and even like the ones that you've

1326
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 9: had come on like a couple of times, they still

1327
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 9: have something different to share each time.

1328
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Right, and yeah, so what has been your favorite episode

1329
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: so far? Or video clip? Because I feel like our

1330
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: rio clips are so good.

1331
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 9: Oh video clips? Well, obviously, I feel like everyone always

1332
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 9: gravitates towards like.

1333
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 10: The more.

1334
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: Sellacious.

1335
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 9: What's the word, Yeah, that's the word I should use,

1336
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 9: which I get because I'm like, that's very like, you know,

1337
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 9: in terms of you don't come across those types of

1338
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 9: stories all the time. But I think for me, when

1339
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 9: we did Spooky Season, I.

1340
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Was like, oh my god, y'all are making me feel

1341
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: so good. I mean, I knew you love the Spook series,

1342
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: but everyone that I've been speaking to on the hotline

1343
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: they the Spooky series. Oh I'm so happy to stressed.

1344
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 9: But even like playing around with like the different format

1345
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 9: for the videos, Like I just love doing all the episodes.

1346
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 9: But I think probably the the more interesting to me.

1347
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,600
Speaker 9: The one to me was the Uuthologist.

1348
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody said that one too, because I.

1349
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 9: Feel like it's just like I like spooky stuff, and

1350
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,719
Speaker 9: I watch everything spooky, but that's something that I feel

1351
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 9: like I don't watch a lot of.

1352
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Right.

1353
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 9: She was like talking and like she was giving all

1354
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 9: these theories and I was like, I don't know if

1355
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 9: I can get into this too much too And when

1356
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 9: I edited them like late at night, I was like.

1357
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 11: I can't get into that.

1358
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 5: I know, you know.

1359
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: She was like, I can't into this shit right now.

1360
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,560
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel I area know the else of this,

1361
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 1: but do you feel like sometimes we might get canceled,

1362
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: we might.

1363
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 9: Get Oh my god, I feel like.

1364
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: She'd be so nervous for certain topics.

1365
01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 9: I'm like, why it's so nervous because I feel like,

1366
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 9: the one hand, you have people like you want to

1367
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 9: invite anyone to come on your show, right, right, and

1368
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 9: you're not going to agree with everything that they say.

1369
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 9: But I think it's not that it's your opinion at

1370
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 9: the end of the day. And I think that I'm

1371
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 9: kind of I've kind of just already accepted that, like,

1372
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 9: get all these different types of people that they have

1373
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 9: their opinions, they have their thoughts, they exist, right, and

1374
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 9: like we can't ignore everyone's opinions. And if anything, if

1375
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 9: if there's someone who comes across or yeah, that comes

1376
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 9: on the podcast and they're the difference of opinion or anything,

1377
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 9: how are you ever going to discuss it if they

1378
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 9: don't bring it up or if you have them come

1379
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 9: on the show. So I think in that sense, no,

1380
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 9: I don't think we're going to be canceled. But yeah,

1381
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 9: and I see the way that you handle everything with

1382
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 9: like care and like love.

1383
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1384
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could say when she get nervous, she'd be like,

1385
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: I think we should use this word and say She's like, no,

1386
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: you've been what you say is you say, can I

1387
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: make a recommendation? And I'd be like, yeah, go ahead,

1388
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: what you got She's like, I think that we should

1389
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 1: use this word there or what do you think about this?

1390
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 10: Instead?

1391
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 9: No, I just I want to make sure at the

1392
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 9: end of the day, because like whatever your guest says,

1393
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:19,839
Speaker 9: you know, that's.

1394
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: On them, right, But whatever we know us, right.

1395
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, whatever we forgot there, that's not us, right.

1396
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: Do you have any questions for me? I mean we

1397
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: talk every day, but I know.

1398
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 9: I guess, like how I feel like I'm going to

1399
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,759
Speaker 9: ask you this question like every year, but like how

1400
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 9: how different does it feel like recording episodes like in

1401
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 9: twenty twenty three versus like twenty nineteen.

1402
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I feel like you can, Like I

1403
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: said this before, I feel like you can totally hear

1404
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: the growth like in everything. I mean, now we're doing

1405
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: video productions and I was not a fan of videos, y'all.

1406
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Like I literally just started doing videos of this year,

1407
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: and I would be remiss if I didn't say that

1408
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: videos did not help us out a lot. And I'm

1409
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: not even talking about because everything else plays a part,

1410
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: but like just on a social media presence, like a

1411
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: lot of My new listeners came either through obviously the

1412
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: partnership with Black Effects, but also just with videos on

1413
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: social media, Like we have one video that's almost at

1414
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty thousand views, and I would that

1415
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 1: helped us a lot, Like so we are like so

1416
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: gung ho about videos. So you know, I definitely think

1417
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: that just from here compared to twenty nineteen, it's just

1418
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: it's just bigger and better. Even the stories are just amazing,

1419
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: Like sometimes I'd be like, damn, like what the hell

1420
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm talking about? Now? I know?

1421
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,600
Speaker 9: And like and even I'm thinking, like you've had like

1422
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 9: guests cover like similar topics and stuff like that, but

1423
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 9: it's still different perspectives, Like it either happens differently or

1424
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,799
Speaker 9: it affects the person differently, they cope with it differently.

1425
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 9: So I don't know, I feel like each guest is

1426
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 9: so different. I'm like, sometimes you'll tell me ahead of time.

1427
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 9: You'll be like, oh, I'm interviewing this person that you

1428
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 9: know this happened to them or they did this right.

1429
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 9: And then sometimes I'm like, where did this come from?

1430
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 9: You didn't even prep me for the right.

1431
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Some shit just be left field. Right, do you have

1432
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: any more questions? Have you so you have any more questions?

1433
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,839
Speaker 9: Any more questions? No, I'm just looking for it, Like honestly,

1434
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 9: that's the question that I kind of have been thinking about,

1435
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 9: Like every year I'm going to ask you because like

1436
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 9: I can picture you answering it differently every year, like, oh, no,

1437
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 9: I have a studio, now, I have this whole team,

1438
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 9: now I have like yeah, like doing live shows, Like, oh.

1439
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to do live shows. I've been like

1440
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: dreaming and fantasizing about them, and you know, I'm gonna

1441
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: give an experience and I just cannot wait. Like I

1442
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like next year, twenty twenty four

1443
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: is going to be an amazing fucking year, yo, amazing year.

1444
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,719
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I feel like we haven't even

1445
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: the professional Honger hasn't even touched the surface of what's

1446
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: to come.

1447
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 9: No, and it's starting off strong like yeah, birthday with

1448
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 9: the anniversary like.

1449

Speaker 1: Yeah, and we also have things that's not even out yet,

1450
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: Like I can't wait to drop what I told you

01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: that's coming out. Oh, I know, Like it's just so

1452
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: much stuff that's happening. It's just like I can't wait.

1453
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: I cannot wait I'm so excited.

1454
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 10: Me too.

1455
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: But I'm just so happy that we were finally connected

1456
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: because I feel like you are definitely an intricate part

1457
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: of the growth for this year since you've been on board,

1458
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: and I'm just excited to see what's to come up

01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 1: from us, Like, you know, I feel like you're doing

1461
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: having an open mind because I know sometimes I can

1462
01:13:59,200 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: be a little out there.

1463
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:03,960

1467
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:22,200

1468
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: Where are you from?

1469
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 5: Nannette?

1470
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 18: And I'm from New York.

1471
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: Hi, j Pool.

1472
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 20: How are you good?

1473
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: How are you good? Good? So this is one of

1474
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: my longest and dearest friends. So, Janette, when you first

1475
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: heard of the Professional Homegirl, what did that mean to you?

1476
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 3: For me?

1477
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 17: It meant just, you know, empowering women, giving a voice

1478
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 17: to women. I think, especially even more now we're seeing

1479
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 17: how women over years, you know, our voices are being silenced.

1480
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 18: You know, everything that we do is up to question.

1481
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 17: You know, our choices, our voices, everything is being you know,

1482
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 17: it's at war on women, you know, So you gave

1483
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 17: a platform for women to speak, a platform for them

1484
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 17: to know that you're not alone in this life. We

1485
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 17: all have a voice, and our voices can and will

1486
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 17: be heard. And the professional aspect of it is really

1487
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 17: just reminding us that we can do it all, like,

1488
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 17: really do it all.

1489
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 5: You know.

1490
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,679
Speaker 17: I think sometimes we get into boxes and we're only

1491
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 17: you know, meant for like you know, the medical field,

1492
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 17: you know, teaching things like that. But like your platform

1493
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,719
Speaker 17: lets us know there's an array of professions out there,

1494
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:48,760
Speaker 17: but it's behind these professions. So you know, power to you,

1495
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 17: empowered to all the women out there, all the professional

1496
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 17: home girls out there.

1497
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: Okay, now, what does it feel like to be the

1498
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: be a friend of a mad woman building a business?

1499
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:00,080
Speaker 4: Listen, it's it's.

1500
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 18: A beautiful thing to see. It's a beautiful thing. And

1501
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 18: you know, and I can sit up here.

1502
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 17: And talk about like it's inspiring, which it is, but

1503
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 17: it's just beautiful to see. I don't think women get

1504
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 17: enough credit for what we're able to do, like to

1505
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 17: see you and I feel like I've seen you from

1506
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 17: the beginning and to see it come from where it

1507
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 17: was to what it is is it's so beautiful and

1508
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 17: it's wearing.

1509
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 18: It's one of those things.

1510
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 17: It really reminds me, I'll be honest, It reminds me

1511
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 17: just the power of manifestation, the power of prayer, because

1512
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 17: you have been saying from the jump that PhD is

1513
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 17: going to be a household name.

1514
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:38,879
Speaker 18: I think the fact that you put out.

1515
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 17: There has come to life. It's come to fruition, and

1516
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 17: it's a beautiful thing. And it's a reminder that if

1517
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 17: you want it and you go after it and work

1518
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 17: for it, it'll happen. And it may not happen overnight.

1519
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 17: It's not going to happen overnight. But you've got to

1520
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 17: be patient, and you've got to be steadfast, and you've

1521
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 17: got to be able to put the work in. But

1522
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 17: you also have to be able to keep pushing through

1523
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 17: the trials because there's going to be things throwing at you.

1524
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 17: And I know there have been things thrown at you,

1525
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 17: but just to keep seeing you just grind and push

1526
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 17: and just put it out there like it's it's beautiful,

1527
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 17: and that's really all I can say, Like I said,

1528
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 17: it's inspiring, it's encouraging, but it's yet It's truly beautiful

1529
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 17: just to watch, and I'm so proud of you.

1530
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now, do you

1531
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 1: have any questions for me? Even though I know you

1532
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: know everything about me?

1533
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1534
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 17: I think for me, I just want to know, like,

01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 1: You know, let me stop.

1544
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 7: I feel good.

1545
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,719
Speaker 1: I feel good. Everybody's been asking me that I feel.

1546
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,879
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of myself. Like I know that sounds cliche,

1547
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: but you know, I just think the only difference between

1548
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 1: me and anybody else is I just didn't quit, and

1549
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: Lord knows I wanted to quit. So I'm happy. I'm

1550
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: very proud of the platform that I built. I know

1551
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: that the professional homegirls out there changing lives. I feel

1552
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 1: like it's nothing out there that's similar to this, And

1553
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: I think there's just so fucking dope that you know,

1554
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 1: you hear these stories and you know you hearing it

1555
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: from a black woman because you know, we have our

1556
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: own key key. But I just think it's amazing, and

1557
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: I think it goes beyond color because you know, the

1558
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 1: Professional Homegirl will always be a love letter to black women,

1559
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: but you know, it definitely became a place for love

1560
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: and hope and just just everything that feels good. So

1561
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:44,919
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of myself.

1562
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,680
Speaker 18: Good good, I love.

1563
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 17: I think the only other thing is as you continue

1564
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 17: to grow and get bigger, like.

1565
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 18: What do you want? You know, what do you want

1566
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 18: your audience to know about you?

1567
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 17: And I guess it's kind of I don't know, it's

1568
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 17: kind of an odd question, but I feel like, you know,

1569
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 17: we always talk about like as people get bigger and

1570
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,480
Speaker 17: you know, they really start branching out, they kind of start.

1571
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,639
Speaker 18: To you know, some people, not you.

1572
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 17: Some people kind of lose themselves that idea forgetting of

1573
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 17: like where they came from, who they are. Like, what

1574
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 17: is something as you continue to grow that you kind

1575
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,680
Speaker 17: of want to let people know, Like you want to

1576
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 17: let them know like I ain't going nowhere, I'm still

1577
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,959
Speaker 17: that down to earth PhD girl that you'all gonna.

1578
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 18: See that bit, yes, you know, like like what do

1579
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 18: you see you know?

1580
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 17: I think I think it's also and also the idea

1581
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 17: of like what's next for you, Like what's next, Like

1582
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 17: we're five years in, like what's more to come?

1583
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1584
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:47,440
Speaker 1: I think for me, I just want to just be everywhere.

1585
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: Like I feel like the Professional Homegirl is a household name.

1586
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: What I do see coming is a professional Homegirl being

1587
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 1: in every sector of the business world, so, you know,

1588
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: just expanding and diversifying a folio. I think a lot

1589
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: of people were introduced to the Professional Homegirl brand by

1590
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: the podcast, but the brand itself as much more than

1591
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 1: the podcast, so you know, eventually, And we also have

1592
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: the coloring books. I have my the love letters, they

1593
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: all the one which I'm super proud of because that

1594
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 1: introduces a different side of me and a more vulnerable

1595
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: and intimate side which you can probably agree to sure, right.

1596
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: And I just want to just do more things, like

1597
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: I'm working on the third coloring book, like I said before,

1598
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: just just getting Professional Homegirls out there even more so.

1599
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: I think that in the next couple of years it's

1600
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: I don't even think that in the first five years

1601
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:45,839
Speaker 1: we touched we touched the surface of what the professional

1602
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 1: homegirl is going to be. I think that once we

1603
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: start doing evince, you know, me doing more public speaking opportunities,

1604
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,480
Speaker 1: or like just being a part of other amazing platforms

1605
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 1: and just like, you know, just really getting out there.

1606
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: And I want to travel, like I want to go

1607
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 1: in different places, different countries and meet professional homegirls out

1608
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 1: there too. So I think there's a lot more to come.

1609
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 18: I agree, and I'll be right here with you.

1610
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, what do you think that the listener

1611
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: should know something about me? Being at you one of

1612
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 1: my close friends. I've been asking all my close friends this.

1613
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,160
Speaker 18: Besides you being coog for Coco Puffs, just.

1614
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 17: Honestly, and the reason why I kind of like started

1615
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 17: that question with, like where you're going, what to expect?

1616
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 17: Because I honestly feel like what you see with you

01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 17: is what you get and I love that about you. Okay,

1619
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 17: to question your loyalty. I don't have to question your genuineness.

1620
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:51,880

1625
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 17: you know, as you go on your journey, but you're

1722
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,679

1745
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,759
Speaker 1: mprov classes. I want to take like TV scripting classes

1746
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,200

Speaker 1: I've taken.

1750
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 20: I stopped, you know, I stopped because I had to

1751
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 20: do a scene that required me to go to a

1752
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 20: dark space, right and once I went into that dark space,

1753
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 20: I couldn't get out. I couldn't get out of that place.

1754
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 20: I was like, I don't know if I want to

1755
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 20: do this anymore. So I stopped, you know, but I'm

1756
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 20: ready to jump back and dive back into that.

1757
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: So when you get your scrip together, I can be

1758
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:29,640
Speaker 1: one of those characters of course. And then also just

1759
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: like you know, just growing the platform. Like I really

1760
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: believe in the platform. I feel like it not only

1761
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 1: helped everyone else, but it definitely helped me and save

1762
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,600
Speaker 1: my life. So I just want to do bigger and

1763
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: better things with this platform and really show people that

1764
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 1: there's a professional homegirl and all of us. Yes, well

1765
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,759
Speaker 1: you're on your way, and I'm definitely fully supporting everything

1766
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 1: that you do. I love it for you, girl, I

1767
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,719
Speaker 1: really do. Yes, you have any more questions to the

1768
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 1: co host, so we talk back.

1769
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 20: Let's see what's on the gin to ask for. You know,

1770
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,599
Speaker 20: our show we talk about relationships and love and sex

1771
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 20: and all things black women. So you're trying to get

1772
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 20: a man next year? Because I know when you was

1773
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 20: on you said you didn't have way you sing.

1774
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: I did, so I shared with the ladies that I was.

1775
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: I've been celibating for quite a while, so I am

1776
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,799
Speaker 1: putting myself out there because I do want to have sex,

1777
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: meaning for sex, not just know any type of sex.

1778
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: But I don't want to be in a committed relationship

1779
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 1: because I've always been a relationship type of girl. So

1780
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 1: I've been dabbling, but I feel like I made a

1781
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 1: lot of sacrifices for my business. So definitely for next year,

1782
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: I want to be proactive in my personal life, dating

1783
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: life and all those good things. So how you going

1784
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: about it though, because that's the hard part, that's a

1785
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 1: good question. I want to put myself out there. So

1786
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,080
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna like start going out to like different spots,

1787
01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:51,680
Speaker 1: like places that I really enjoy, like a lot of

1788
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 1: people don't know. But I love going to museums, I

1789
01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: love going to auctions, like just different places and just

1790
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 1: putting myself out there because I feel like, you know,

1791
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna meet nobody in my house. You ain't gonna

1792
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: meet nobody at the museum. I doubt you meet anybody.

1793
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:07,120
Speaker 1: Well you go not the museum, but just.

1794
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 20: Auctions, yeah, probably meet nice guys at auctions, right, conferences, conferences.

1795
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, things like that, things on that facinity, just going

1796
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 1: outside more and not making everything about PHG because I

1797
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of times people get caught up

1798
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 1: in what I do and not who I am. And

1799
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 1: that's something I'm pretty sure you can attest to that. Yeah,

1800
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,600
Speaker 1: I just want to just like you said, just go outside,

1801
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:30,480
Speaker 1: like just do things differently, like go in these conferences,

1802
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 1: like just meeting people and meeting different types of people

1803
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 1: and being open.

1804
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 20: So okay, well, I hope that for you, girl, and

1805
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:38,640
Speaker 20: I hope it for me too. I'm gonna do the

1806
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 20: same action.

2085
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 21: of like seminon thing that we did. I was like

2086
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:32,320
Speaker 21: one of the panel speakers and you were doing your

2087
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:36,559

2088
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 21: I love the name number one because I feel like,

2089
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:43,559
Speaker 21: you know, people homegirls, kind of professional homegirls as it is,

2090
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 21: don't really get like so many accolades things like that,

2091
01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 21: like people don't acknowledge you know, us as the people

2092
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,440
Speaker 21: that grew up in the hood. But also it's professional.

2093
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 21: So I definitely was intrigued by the name itself, but

2094
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 21: I wasn't surprised. I was like, yes, of course, like

2095
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 21: I see it going in many places.

2096
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now talk about our journey, like, because you've been

2097
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: with me when I was like on my path with healing,

2098
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:11,799
Speaker 1: and now I feel like I am somewhat fully healed.

2099
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:14,280
Speaker 1: So what's some things that you knowed about my growth?

2100
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 21: I feel like you were open to just like open

2101
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:23,800
Speaker 21: to the process from the beginning. Like when we first

2102
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,679
Speaker 21: started talking, you definitely walked into my office very trusting,

2103
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 21: very excited about your growth. I feel like you were

2104
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 21: always open to understanding like where your trauma started from

2105
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 21: and how you can move past that. But one of

2106
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 21: the things I always noticed about you was like your

2107
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 21: positive attitude and you're just like this feeling about you

2108
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 21: that the things were always gonna work out and you

2109
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 21: were always gonna make sure it worked out. And it's

2110
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:56,040
Speaker 21: so funny because I feel like our spirits really connected

2111
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 21: in that way because I always felt like things were

2112
01:44:58,680 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 21: gonna work out for me, but that that's always how

2113
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:03,280
Speaker 21: you showed up in my office whenever we talk.

2114
01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I feel like it was one time

2115
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I hang, got none to talk about.

2116
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm good, it's gonna be quick with Dina. Y'all left

2117
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 1: our office crying. I was like, wow, dealt in my ass.

2118
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 21: I was like, yes, because I do feel like the

2119
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 21: only thing you needed, like you had all the puzzle pieces.

2120
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 21: You just need to know how to put the pieces together.

2121
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:26,600
Speaker 21: And that's usually what I do with clients. They have

2122
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:28,839
Speaker 21: all the puzzle pieces, like, we all know our trauma,

2123
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 21: we all know how it affects us, but we just

2124
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 21: got to put it all together so it makes sense.

2125
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 21: And that's what you were looking for, that final part

2126
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:36,560
Speaker 21: of letting.

2127
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 1: It make sense. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Now, do

2128
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 1: you have any questions for me?

2129
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 11: Well?

2130
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 21: How has your journey been? I mean, it's you're four years.

2131
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: Old now right now. No, we're fine, We're fine.

2132
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 4: Five years old.

2133
01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:51,719
Speaker 21: Now, how has it been for you? Because I feel

2134
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 21: like with me trying to branch into like a new

2135
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:56,640
Speaker 21: side of my business, it can be so hard. What

2136
01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 21: keeps you motivated?

2137
01:45:59,280 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 10: Uh?

2138
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 1: Well, I think overall, I think the journey is step.

2139
01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:05,560
Speaker 1: I think I was always so concerned with the destination,

2140
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:08,720
Speaker 1: and then eventually I started to fall in love with

2141
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:12,160
Speaker 1: the journey. So I really really do appreciate the journey,

2142
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: and I think what keeps me motivated? Honestly, I think

2143
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 1: it's the my my community, my professional homegirls. I think

2144
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:21,479
Speaker 1: that you know, when they tell me that, oh this

2145
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 1: helped me with this, or this episode saved my life,

2146
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 1: or this this gives me more information, I feel like

2147
01:46:27,160 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 1: that's God's way of telling me that I'm on the

2148
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: right track. Just keep going. So I'm very very and then,

2149
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, from our sessions, I feel like I always

2150
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: had issues with like being lonely and like not having

2151
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:41,000

2157
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 21: do focus on the journey and like waking up every

2158
01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 21: day being grateful for where we are, you know, you

2159
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 21: just wake up one day and you've arrived at the

2160
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 21: goal right or where you want it to be, and

2161
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 21: you don't focus on that every single day. You just

2162
01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 21: focus on showing up the way God wants you to

2163
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 21: show up that day, and it does, you know, make

2164
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 21: you feel really really good. Where do you see the

Speaker 1: But I have been working on my new project. I

2169
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:28,519

2170
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,960

2180
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,040

01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:26,080

2191
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:29,280
Speaker 1: journey because I feel like people was trying me and

2192
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:33,800

Speaker 1: not have done this this platform if I didn't meet you,

2194

Speaker 21: I appreciate you as well, and I you know, there

2198
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:52,760

2199
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:55,000
Speaker 21: because of course we ain't even supposed to do that.

Speaker 21: But there are people that come into your life that

2215
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:37,160
Speaker 1: but you know, just getting merry and not like taking

01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:39,439

01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,240
Speaker 1: wanted and I feel like your wedding was just beyond beautiful.

2218
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 1: So what is some advice you can give to us

2219
01:49:44,800 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 1: single ladies are attracting the right person for us?

2220
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 21: Okay, so here's my shameless club as a now dating coach.

2221
01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 21: Wed Yes who are very driven and looking for a

2222
01:49:58,160 --> 01:49:59,680
Speaker 21: high value partner.

2223
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:01,640
Speaker 1: Will I want to show y'all, y'all know who is

2224
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:02,600
Speaker 1: going to be you will be.

2225
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:05,920
Speaker 21: I think for women that are very driven, like myself,

2226
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 21: I would say, one, you have to definitely have faith

2227
01:50:09,360 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 21: that there is that one person out there for you

2228
01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 21: and you don't have to change who you are to

2229
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:17,400
Speaker 21: actually have them. The other thing is, if you want

2230
01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 21: that partner, you have to be that partner right. And

2231
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 21: I'm not saying financially only, but internally right. If I

2232
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:27,679
Speaker 21: want someone that's genuinely kind, I want to be genuinely kind,

2233
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:31,200
Speaker 21: but also know that you know, I have to watch

2234
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 21: my words. Like I would always say to people like,

2235
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:35,840
Speaker 21: my person is out there, I know they out there.

2236
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 21: I know that I'm getting an exceptional person because I'm

2237
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 21: an exceptional person. So I would never ever say I

2238
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:44,200
Speaker 21: don't know if he did, I don't know this. I

2239
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:46,640
Speaker 21: was very very adamant that that was what it was.

2240
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:49,760
Speaker 21: But in the meantime, like we were talking about with

2241
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 21: you know, focusing every day on the journey, Like every day,

2242
01:50:53,840 --> 01:50:56,479
Speaker 21: I just enjoyed my journey as a single person. I

2243
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 21: did a lot of things that I wanted to do,

2244
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:00,600
Speaker 21: and I used to ask myself, what are all the

2245
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,479
Speaker 21: things I want to do while I'm single, because I

2246
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 21: know when I get in a relationship, dynamics changed. And

2247
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:07,599
Speaker 21: I just filled my day with all those single things.

2248
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:10,600
Speaker 21: I didn't look at single hood as a curse. I

2249
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 21: looked at it as a blessing, as a time in

2250
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:15,799
Speaker 21: my life, and I took my eyes off of dating.

2251
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,479
Speaker 21: Right even though I went out for drinks of people,

2252
01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:20,760
Speaker 21: I wasn't focused on that. I was focused on me

2253
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 21: and enjoying myself. And then eventually one day I opened

2254
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:26,599
Speaker 21: my eyes and he was right there. So I say,

2255
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:30,760
Speaker 21: you know, focus on something different, be single, enjoy your

2256
01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 21: single hood, and then be open to meet your person wherever.

2257
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:37,400
Speaker 1: Mine was all the way in Colorado and I was

2258
01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:38,400
Speaker 1: all the way in New York.

2259
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, crazy, and I happened to connect with him by

2260
01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 21: me actually going on a work trip. Crazy, so and

2261
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 21: I was open to it. So I think be open

2262
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:51,080
Speaker 21: to it, but also don't don't focus on it every day.

2263
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:54,320
Speaker 1: All right, listen this one. Yeah, I don't get y'all,

2264
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 1: don't get some good advice now exactly.

Speaker 21: And if you want to look for me, I am

Speaker 19: People to talk and like be vulnerable, and I genuinely

2303
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 19: feel like that's probably one of the most beautiful things

2304
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 19: where humans can connect with eachunnel through vulnerability. Yeah, I know,

2305
01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 19: like little Eddie in the moment, she was like, I

2306
01:53:57,920 --> 01:53:59,000
Speaker 19: feel heard.

2307
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:03,640
Speaker 4: Like someone these me finally let me know. Being in

2308
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 4: your being in the room.

2309
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,320
Speaker 19: With you, you could definitely see that you have this

2310
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 19: light where you want to like bring into people, and

2311
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 19: you're so aware and emotionally intelligent, and I feel like

2312
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:18,000
Speaker 19: not a lot of us are, especially like in the

2313
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 19: culture that we are.

2314
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:20,240
Speaker 4: We were we were.

2315
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:23,200
Speaker 19: Brought up to not talk about our feelings kind of

2316
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:26,720
Speaker 19: just pushed it to a side under the rug right

2317
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 19: and seeing women, especially women of color.

2318
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 4: Like say like, no, we're going to talk about this.

2319
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:35,720
Speaker 4: Someone needs to do it. I love it. It's inspiring.

2320
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 19: After I did get to meet with you, it did

2321
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 19: definitely push me to start my blog. Yeah, yes, you

2322
01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:47,960
Speaker 19: know other women are doing this. Why can't Why can't I? Like,

2323
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 19: why can't I just press myself through my words?

2324
01:54:51,760 --> 01:54:54,240
Speaker 1: No, I'm so happy that that inspire you. Because literally

2325
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:57,400
Speaker 1: right before we started you joined the hotline. I say, hey, like,

2326
01:54:57,440 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 1: you need to like just push yourself out there a

2327
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:00,920
Speaker 1: little bit more because the world as your oyster and

2328
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:02,920
Speaker 1: you never know who you can be helping along the way.

2329
01:55:02,960 --> 01:55:04,760
Speaker 1: So that really makes me happy.

2330
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:07,040
Speaker 4: No, No, you definitely did help me.

2331
01:55:07,200 --> 01:55:11,040
Speaker 19: I'm I'm someone who's always been very I'm scared of rejection,

2332
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:16,920
Speaker 19: so I won't put myself into places because I fear that, like, Okay,

2333
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 19: what if I feel or what if I'm rejected in

2334
01:55:19,400 --> 01:55:21,960
Speaker 19: the sense, And it's kind of it's hard when you

2335
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:24,240
Speaker 19: have so many things you want to do. It's kind

2336
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:27,400
Speaker 19: of like all these goals, I'm just sitting not doing

2337
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,760
Speaker 19: another that's terrible.

2338
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy that you started so I'm definitely gonna

2339
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:36,600
Speaker 1: be reading your blog over the break, So you got

2340
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 1: to Yes, I'm really proud of you. So when you

2341
01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:42,240
Speaker 1: first heard of the name professional Homegirl, what did that

2342
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:42,840
Speaker 1: mean to you?

2343
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:47,520
Speaker 4: I kind of just see, well, the image I put

2344
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:48,080
Speaker 4: in my head.

2345
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 19: I just thought of this like business woman who's there

2346
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:55,440
Speaker 19: to like help out other business women, like women helping women.

2347
01:55:55,520 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 4: That's what I took it as. But not in like a.

2348
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 19: In a friendship way, but also professionally. Like you said,

2349
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:05,800
Speaker 19: it's kind of like you're like a mentor.

2350
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 4: That's genuine.

2351
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 19: How I see, you're a professional mentor, but you're a homegirl,

2352
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 19: like you're.

2353
01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:13,280
Speaker 4: You're a bestie, but a professional best tiem.

2354
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, did you have any questions for me?

2355
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:21,480
Speaker 4: What made you want to start this podcast? Like? What

2356
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 4: was your you know what, I'm gona just do it.

2357
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 10: You know.

2358
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:27,080
Speaker 1: I think what made me really start saying what's the

2359
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 1: funny thing is? So a lot of people been asking

2360
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,160
Speaker 1: that question, but I don't think I told this part.

2361
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: So the Professional Homegirl at the beginning was a blog,

2362
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 1: which is so funny. Yeah, I started as a blog.

2363
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:39,440
Speaker 1: I was doing like professional Homegirls of the Week all

2364
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 1: this other stuff. But you know, niggas don't know how

2365
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 1: to read, and niggas don't like to read. So I

2366
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:46,600
Speaker 1: was like, what can I do to make it's still

2367
01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:48,920
Speaker 1: digestible but still you know, put the candy in the

2368
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:51,440
Speaker 1: medicine and like you can still be able to you know,

2369
01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:54,280
Speaker 1: hear my voice through it. Whatever. And that's why I

2370
01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:57,320
Speaker 1: started the podcast because five years ago the podcast wasn't

2371
01:56:57,400 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 1: podcasting wasn't as popular as it is now, right, and

2372
01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:01,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't even know what the hell

2373
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:06,400
Speaker 1: of podcast was. So yes, no, same, Like I think

2374
01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 1: that I was listening to a few people and I

2375
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, Like I didn't even know that

2376
01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:15,640
Speaker 1: the podcast app was already on iPhones either, right right,

2377
01:57:16,080 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, So I think that's the reason why, because

2378
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, we well I live in New York and

2379
01:57:21,520 --> 01:57:23,320
Speaker 1: you've been in New York back and forth, so you know,

2380
01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:25,960
Speaker 1: it's easy for us to be able to digest something

2381
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:29,000
Speaker 1: if we listening to it compared to like reading it,

2382
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 1: even though I love to read, it's easier. Yeah, So

2383
01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:34,000
Speaker 1: that's one of the main things that maybe like, okay,

2384
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 1: let me just try this podcast and shit. And I

2385
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:38,000
Speaker 1: think it's kind of cool that people can hear me

2386
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 1: in their head.

2387
01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:42,280
Speaker 4: And it's better. It's more personal life.

2388
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:45,800
Speaker 1: Yes, like it creates like an intimate connection. So I

2389
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:46,880
Speaker 1: thought that was cool.

2390
01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 19: Yeah. Would is there a specific podcaster or would you

2391
01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:54,160
Speaker 19: say you got a lot of inspiration from or like

2392
01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 19: still inspires you.

2393
01:57:56,600 --> 01:58:00,400
Speaker 1: Well, I won't say podcaster. I think in a very

2394
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:04,200
Speaker 1: very beginning, I used to really really love tax Stones podcast.

2395
01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:07,600
Speaker 1: I think it's something that's pretty cool where you can

2396
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:10,760
Speaker 1: just truly be yourself and not switch up for any

2397
01:58:10,840 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 1: and everybody. So I think he did such an amazing

2398
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:17,840
Speaker 1: job with that. I think overall, I mean, obviously Charlotte May.

2399
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 1: I've been watching Charlotte Maine for over ten fifteen years.

2400
01:58:21,720 --> 01:58:24,320
Speaker 4: So I was little, had no business.

2401
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's just like, you know, to be able

2402
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:31,800
Speaker 1: to be able to work with him, and you know,

2403
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:34,839
Speaker 1: for my podcast to be a part of his platform,

2404
01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:38,800
Speaker 1: it's just like a mind fuck because I remember just

2405
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,160
Speaker 1: like waking up every morning watching The Breakfast Club. So

2406
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:43,360
Speaker 1: that just shows you how you have to be open

2407
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,600
Speaker 1: because you just never know how God's preparing you for

2408
01:58:45,640 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 1: your future. And I feel like God give us glimpses

2409
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:52,200
Speaker 1: through other people. And it also Oprah, like I feel

2410
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:56,200
Speaker 1: like Oprah has also been a very intricate part in

2411
01:58:56,280 --> 01:59:00,360
Speaker 1: my journey without me knowing, because who mama didn't watch Oprah.

2412
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:05,000
Speaker 19: And my grandma and then even just like you know,

2413
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 19: just watching her old archives with her O the Oprah

2414
01:59:08,360 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 19: Winfrey Show, and I'm like, wow.

2415
01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 1: Like Oprah used to really like give the tea, you know,

2416
01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:17,800
Speaker 1: so she doesn't, right, So just people like that, Like,

2417
01:59:17,880 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, there's so many like media influences,

2418
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 1: but if I have to have to pick, it will

2419
01:59:24,040 --> 01:59:27,600
Speaker 1: definitely be Charlotte Maagne and Oprah Winfrey for sure.

2420
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 3: I like that.

2421
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say for me, that's a good question.

2422
01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:36,600
Speaker 1: Nobody ever asked me that question before?

2423
01:59:36,720 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, I always already too.

2424
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:43,520
Speaker 1: No, I always get asked questions about the podcast rightfully, so,

2425
01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:49,600
Speaker 1: but I don't feel like questions about me good Okay, okay,

2426
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:52,640
Speaker 1: here's jealous of my own podcast now.

2427
01:59:54,040 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 9: No.

2428
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:57,200
Speaker 19: I feel like sometimes when when we put a lot

2429
01:59:57,200 --> 02:00:00,880
Speaker 19: of love and effort into something admire, we don't care

2430
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:02,960
Speaker 19: that we're not really getting the spotlight. It's more of

2431
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:05,280
Speaker 19: like our craft is getting the spotlight.

2432
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:07,200
Speaker 4: But we also want to hear that, like damn, what

2433
02:00:07,240 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 4: about me?

2434
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:08,640
Speaker 17: Right?

2435
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Right?

2436
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:09,440
Speaker 5: Right?

2437
02:00:11,800 --> 02:00:15,040
Speaker 19: What would you say has been your biggest what have

2438
02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:18,800
Speaker 19: you seen you like grew it with the podcast?

2439
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 4: Like how did you see yourself grow?

2440
02:00:21,320 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good question. I think what grew with

2441
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:29,160
Speaker 1: the podcast from me was my faith. Oh wow, yeah,

2442
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 1: I man, this has been a journey.

2443
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 3: And I.

2444
02:00:34,440 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 4: Could imagine.

2445
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, not to get so emotional, but like, you know,

2446
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:41,160
Speaker 1: to really be doing something, to really believe in it,

2447
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:44,280
Speaker 1: and even if like there's a thousand people that have podcasts,

2448
02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:46,200
Speaker 1: there's a thousand people who have blogs, what the case

2449
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 1: may be, but to really believe in it wholeheartedly and

2450
02:00:49,240 --> 02:00:50,880
Speaker 1: to know that this is going to be it for you,

2451
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:54,840
Speaker 1: that's that requires a different type of faith. So I

2452
02:00:54,880 --> 02:00:57,560
Speaker 1: am so so thankful that I didn't stop.

2453
02:00:59,160 --> 02:00:59,800
Speaker 4: I like that.

2454

02:02:33,920 --> 02:02:37,280
Speaker 19: That was so I already knew how like the business is,

2490
02:02:37,640 --> 02:02:39,880
Speaker 19: but genuinely like hearing their stories.

2491
02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Kind of like oh wow, Yeah you don't.

2492
02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 19: You don't think how crazy their lifestyles really are until

2493
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:48,600
Speaker 19: you hear them talk about it. And unfortunately, I feel

2494
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:51,520
Speaker 19: like women like that don't get a platform.

2495
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:51,920
Speaker 4: As much as they should.

2496
02:02:52,200 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 19: Yeah, and I love that she did go on there

2497
02:02:55,080 --> 02:02:57,240
Speaker 19: and you allowed her to talk about her things.

2498
02:02:57,280 --> 02:02:59,920
Speaker 4: I that was my favorite personally because it's not something

2499
02:03:00,120 --> 02:03:00,720
Speaker 4: here often.

2500
02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:03,200
Speaker 1: I love that episode. I mean me and her. She

2501
02:03:03,440 --> 02:03:06,720

2508
02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:24,000

02:03:24,080 --> 02:03:24,520
Speaker 4: hate that.

02:07:10,360 --> 02:07:13,160
Speaker 22: There's nothing like somebody that reached out to you, Like

2599
02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:17,240

02:07:37,120 --> 02:07:39,760
Speaker 1: for a JD. Pink and Smith, and these people knew

2609
02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:41,080
Speaker 1: who I was, and I'm like, how do I know

2610
02:07:41,080 --> 02:07:43,000
Speaker 1: who I am? So I was kind of shocked by

2611
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:47,080
Speaker 1: that because I was like, I thought, yeah, I forget

2612
02:07:47,120 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: because you know, I feel like like you know me.

2613
02:07:49,640 --> 02:07:51,120
Speaker 1: So I feel like it's just like I've been doing

2614
02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:52,920
Speaker 1: this for so long, so now I feel like now

2615
02:07:52,960 --> 02:07:54,840
Speaker 1: that I'm starting to get a little buzz behind me,

2616
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:56,960
Speaker 1: and then people are telling me that they hear my

2617
02:07:57,040 --> 02:07:59,520
Speaker 1: name on the radio and stuff. So I think that

2618
02:07:59,600 --> 02:08:01,680
Speaker 1: maybe the bigger surprise because to me, I'm just like

2619
02:08:02,040 --> 02:08:02,760
Speaker 1: this is regular.

2620
02:08:03,600 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 22: I'm gonna tell you what I'm most surprised about, right,

2621
02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:08,959
Speaker 22: what's surprised It's the stories.

2622
02:08:09,160 --> 02:08:11,040
Speaker 11: It's the people that speak up, like I'll be like.

2623
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:15,360
Speaker 22: Yo, every woman in the world, and then you pop

2625
02:08:18,120 --> 02:08:20,720
Speaker 11: Never, you never just done, like like, what's up with that?

2626
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:21,240

2630
02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:28,640
Speaker 1: agree with you, because sometimes I do be feeling like, damn,

2631
02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 1: what else someone talk about? Because I talk to almost everybody.

2632
02:08:31,720 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 1: But I always feel like, as long as you got breath,

2633
02:08:33,800 --> 02:08:36,760
Speaker 1: you always have options. So I feel like there's always

2634
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:39,320
Speaker 1: a story. Like I feel like it's something going on

2635
02:08:39,400 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 1: every single day. So I just be researching. I be

Speaker 1: on YouTube. YouTube is my bag, Like I love YouTube.

2637
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:47,160
Speaker 1: But then also I feel like once you get to

2638
02:08:47,200 --> 02:08:48,880
Speaker 1: a certain place, like people just want to reach out

2639

2656
02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Yea, So one of those whatever the month is. I

2657
02:09:41,840 --> 02:09:44,600
Speaker 1: do want to have some men guests on the show.

2658
02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:48,640
Speaker 1: I feel like my male listenership is growing a lot,

2659
02:09:49,080 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 1: which is a good thing because I do feel like

2660
02:09:50,680 --> 02:09:52,120
Speaker 1: men do want to be a part of some of

2661
02:09:52,120 --> 02:09:54,840
Speaker 1: these conversations. So I feel like it'll be kind of

2662
02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:56,600
Speaker 1: cool to have some men. Which I had men on

2663
02:09:56,600 --> 02:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the show before, but I think it'd be cool to

2664
02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:01,160
Speaker 1: have a whole month that okay to them and just like,

2665
02:10:01,360 --> 02:10:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, really talking about some real ship.

2666
02:10:04,400 --> 02:10:06,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that'd be dope. I think that'd be dope.

2667
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:09,960
Speaker 22: Like you said, as your male listeners expand, because you

2668
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 22: never know who you're going to reach.

2669
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:13,280
Speaker 11: And that's the crazy thing about having a podcast.

2670
02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:16,520
Speaker 22: Yeah, you were sitting in your one room and thinking like,

2671
02:10:16,560 --> 02:10:19,840
Speaker 22: all right, cool, only your your people, that's local, like

2672
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:22,360
Speaker 22: they're gonna hear it, but you never know it be

2673
02:10:22,440 --> 02:10:23,800
Speaker 22: somebody in Asia wanted.

2674
02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:26,400
Speaker 11: That's what I'm saying.

2675
02:10:26,720 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 1: Facts facts.

2676
02:10:27,480 --> 02:10:30,600
Speaker 22: So have you had anyone like that in another like

2677
02:10:30,680 --> 02:10:31,800
Speaker 22: continent reach out to you?

2678
02:10:32,960 --> 02:10:35,920
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, hell yeah, I feel like I got a

2679
02:10:35,920 --> 02:10:41,000
Speaker 1: big so I have a large support from Africa.

2680
02:10:41,320 --> 02:10:42,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, why do you think that is?

2681
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:44,960
Speaker 22: Like why do you why do you think that's why

2682
02:10:45,040 --> 02:10:46,720
Speaker 22: you think that it's picked up so much there?

2683
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Because I feel like, and I don't want to misspeak,

2684
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:52,640
Speaker 1: but I spoke to one of my listeners from Africa

2685
02:10:52,680 --> 02:10:56,360
Speaker 1: and she has HIV. So when she reached out to

2686
02:10:56,400 --> 02:10:58,240
Speaker 1: me and shared her story, she was like, you know,

2687
02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:03,640
Speaker 1: American black women are just completely different than African women.

2688
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 1: And she was just like, you know, it's just amazing

2689
02:11:06,640 --> 02:11:09,480
Speaker 1: how we have the freedom to speak freely and to

2690
02:11:09,560 --> 02:11:11,760
Speaker 1: share our stories where that may not be the case

2691
02:11:11,800 --> 02:11:15,120
Speaker 1: for other black women in other countries. So I think that,

2692
02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of times when people reach out

2693
02:11:17,120 --> 02:11:19,320
Speaker 1: from these different countries, they get a chance to finally

2694
02:11:19,320 --> 02:11:21,800
Speaker 1: hear their own story because they can't speak out freely

2695
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:24,400
Speaker 1: because of the repercussions. So I think that's the reason

2696
02:11:24,440 --> 02:11:28,520
Speaker 1: why I have a large following in Africa, because it's

2697
02:11:28,520 --> 02:11:29,840
Speaker 1: their stories, you know.

2698
02:11:31,840 --> 02:11:35,640
Speaker 22: Yeah, I hope it reached all seven continents for sure,

2699
02:11:35,720 --> 02:11:36,800
Speaker 22: and it will and it will.

2700
02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:37,440
Speaker 11: I think it will.

2701
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:39,080
Speaker 1: No, I think it will too. I think we we

2702
02:11:39,600 --> 02:11:40,240
Speaker 1: we getting there.

2703
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:43,720
Speaker 22: Yeah, and I'm excited to see what the next five years,

Speaker 22: it much, but you definitely motivated.

2709
