Speaker 1: Five years ago, back on January to eight, twenty nineteen,

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: I had this really, really intense gut feeling, this beautiful

8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: vision that not only was the Professional Homegirl was destined

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: to be more than just a love letter to all

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: of us, but she was the catalyst needed to reshape

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: the narrative surrounding women of color.

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 2: However, none of this.

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,840

00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: To me, to be a professional homegirl means seeing myself

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: reflected in my community. You've done such amazing job of

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: bringing like minded women together but also edifying, affirming, and

33
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720

Speaker 3: And that's beautiful.

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Yes, what's your favorite episode so far? Because I feel

36
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: like you've been listening for like a very long time.

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: I have been listening for a long time, and you

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: know what, I love the diversity.

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: And the rain.

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: You never know what you're gonna get, right.

41
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 4: No, And I love that that I never know. I

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: love your titles too. In headlines, I'm always like, oh, okay, wow, okay,

43
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: right right, that's on point. But if I can be honest,

44
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: this is probably gonna be wild. The UFO episode.

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 5: Was like fire.

46
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 6: One of my favorites.

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: Yes, the one that I because I've always felt different

48
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 4: and my interests are always different from others, and I

49
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: talk about UFOs all the time.

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: And aliens.

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know what, it's a passion of mine.

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 3: Also, I love researching.

53
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 4: I love all the documentaries, YouTube videos of sightings.

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: I love all that.

55
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: So I also was raised in Vegas, so area fifty

56
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: one is right there.

57
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: Oh so you probably seen ET or something.

58
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I say that and I tell

59
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: people that, but they think you crazy. So when I

60
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: saw that topic and heard from the ufologists that you

61
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: had on knowing that you're black for one, and also

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: just confirming my suspicions, I was like, yeah, yeah.

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: That has been I think that has been like in

64
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the top five since it drop. Like a lot of

65
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: people really liked that episode. So I appreciate you for

66
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: saying it because I thought it was so good. I

67
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: feel like we talked about spiritually, we spoke about religion.

68
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: But that's what I love most about PHG is because

69
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: the topics always in your questions inspired you know so

70
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: much to ever see a thought and often lead to

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: answering questions that I had that I didn't even know

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: I had. I'm like, wait a minute, that was a

73
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: that was a thought provoking question.

74
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 7: Come on.

75
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 4: So, yes, it's giving, It is giving. That's what it's giving,

76
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: but we need that so much because there's definitely, you know,

77
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 4: a need for us to better express ourselves, but also

78
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: to see ourselves and other professional homegirls, you know what

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 4: I mean. For the platform that you've created to do

80
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 4: just that and for others to you know, anonymously listen

81
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: in and I self identify.

82
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: Is therapy.

83
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 7: Oh thank you, thanks, other form of therapy.

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just me and and Danny was just talking.

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: We were just saying how because we actually met in

86
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen and we kind of separate when on our

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: separate paths, and then we came back together through a

88
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: mutual friend Masha, and.

89
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: I was we was like, wait, we know each other?

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: Yes, I saw your face and I was like, oh,

91
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 4: but you know, sometimes kindred spirits you reconnected, just like,

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: oh wait, this person is a whole vibe. But when

93
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: we realized where we knew each other from and some

94
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: of the conversations we were Oprah and Galen back.

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: Then we were and.

96
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: Didn't even know.

97
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: The first were reintroduced by Marsha, who is also a beautiful.

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: Amazing introverse city shout out to her.

99
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's introvert in the city, Yes, but we're still

100
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 4: though we've gone different paths weeks almost, we're still aligned

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 4: in our path and the work that we do. So

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: it's just wonderful to see another beautiful, amazing black queen

103
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 4: out here change your lives because that's what you're doing.

104
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: Thank you. You have any questions for me, I do.

105
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: Let's start with a question on the topics that you

106
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: have chosen to highlight. How do you decide on how

107
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: you're going to approach different topics and who you're going

108
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 4: to ask to represent said topic on your show?

109
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: So I have like this whole process that I do.

110
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Like, for one, I always want to talk about things

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: that's like very prominent within our community, and I feel like,

112
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, either we kee keening about it or it's

113
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: like taboo. Like I always want to touch on things

114
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: and shd like because I feel like it's very easy

115
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: to judge people. And that's the reason why I wanted

116
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: to make the guests anonymous, because I feel like once

117
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 1: you hear people's stories and you hear how they overcome,

118
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: it makes you want to be like, damn, like I

119
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: want to know more about this person, and it puts

120
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: them more in a positive light regards to what the

121
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: topic is. So and then I just do research, like

122
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of people that I have interviewed,

123
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: I never met. I probably met like maybe five or

124
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: ten percent of them.

125
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: So oh wow, Yeah.

126
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: So I can always gauge by like if I find like,

127
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: let's say, your page, I can tell if you're if

128
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: you are a talkative person on a particular topic just

129
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: behind many captions, how many words you're using your caption,

130
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: or how heavy and deep you go into the topic.

131
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: Like I know it sounds so crazy, but I can

132
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: always gauge in so far, I've been right about every

133
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: single person. So I just go into it. And then

134
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: I also feel like, you know, I think when people

135
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: do come on the show and they want to, let's say,

136
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: if their topic is about something that's a little bit heavy,

137
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: I feel like people do feel safe with me with

138
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: that because I didn't talk about a lot of other

139
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: heavy things as well. So and I try to make

140
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: it open and inviting, like I try to like put

141
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: the medicine in the candy in a sense, like let's

142
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: just have fun, Like, you know, we all been through

143
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: some fucked up shit, but you know, I think that

144
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's beauty and brokenness and you can really yeah, right,

145
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: come on.

146
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: That.

147
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: There is.

148
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: But that's one takeaway and something that I think draws listeners,

149
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: speaking for myself but also others, and it's your ability

150
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: and the approach and asking questions and creating the safe

151
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: space where your listeners are comfortable and vulnerable because I

152
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: often hear say I'm so nervous coming on, and You're like,

153
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: why are you nervous? You're able to calm them down,

154
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: and then your empathy and asking these questions or in

155
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: response to what they're sharing is that it's incredible. It's

156
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: a skill, it's giving Oprah's cotap that is. I know

157
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: it's something that you can hone, but I think that

158
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: that's just a gift. Honestly, I don't know that you

159
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: can create that through you know, at school, through It's

160
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: just part of who you are and which is.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a gift too.

163
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: I think it's a you know, I think that's just

164
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: who I am as a person, Like I always love

165
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: to like ke keep with people. I always feel like

166
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: since I was a young girl, people would tell me

167
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: like the craziest shit and I'm like.

168
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: Whoa to do right.

169
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: I'm like, that's one of my questions for you. That's

170
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: another question for you because we're in similar fields. I

171
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: lead HR for tech companies, so a lot of questions,

172
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: a lot of conversations.

173
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: It's it's challenging sometimes.

174
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, people share dumb things on you and they're like,

175
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: here is my trauma. Here you go for you a question,

176
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 4: and I pray for you on this. I'll think about

177
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 4: you all. How do you decompress and compartmentalize when weekly

178
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: or bi weekly these traumas are being shared with you

179
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 4: and as an impact I discerned, I feel like.

180
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: You an impact I am.

181
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 4: How do you protect yourself and your energy?

182
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: You know?

183
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: So before every conversation that I have, I do pray.

184
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: I just asked God to send me the right words

185
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: to say, to protect the conversation and to not like

186
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: take take on what I'm hearing.

187
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: And it has been pretty helpful.

188
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: I feel like the only times that I am triggered

189
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: is when there are when I'm covering child abuse stories,

190
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: and that's only because of my upbringing.

191
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,239
Speaker 2: My childhood.

192
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: But I feel like for the most part, and I

193
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: talked about a lot of heavy stuff, like it don't

194
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: really bother me, and maybe it don't bother me because

195
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: I was also exposed to a lot of things when

196
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I was young, so it's yeah, right, so it's kind

197
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: of like I kind of already like when I was younger,

198
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: it probably bothered me, but now as I'm older, it

199
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: don't really bother me.

200
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: But a lot of things don't really bothering me.

201
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: And then I think afterwards, like I just relaxed, like

202
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't once I'm done recording, I'm done, like even

203
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: though I have to like go back and edit listen

204
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: to an episode. Now we're doing video production, so I'm

205
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: constantly like seeing over and over again, but it don't

206
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: really bother me surprisingly, which is a good thing, thank god,

207
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: because some of this shit I'd be like, whoa.

208
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 5: But that's good.

209
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: That's the healthy boundary that you set for yourself tonight

210
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 4: you know the story or absorb it.

211
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: That's that's good.

212
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 7: Yeah.

213
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: And it also feel like, because you know, a black woman,

214
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: like we have our own language, so like we can

215
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: keep ky and stuff. So I feel like most of

216
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: the conversations that are heavy, like it'd be funny as hell,

217
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: like like I would never forget the joke. Yeah, like

218
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: the episode I did with my guests, my father sexually

219
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: abused me.

220
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: It's one of my recent episodes.

221
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: And her story was crazy, but it was so fucking

222
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: funny because you know, just the banter and the way

223
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: she was giving it up and stuff like.

224
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: So I feel like and I also try to have.

225
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Conversations with guests who are in a better space so

226
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: we can be able to have you know, because I

227
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: think that when you are going through it, it hits

228
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: different compared to finally being able to look back and

229
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I can see a little bit clearer.

230
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: The healed version of us is able to get through

231
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: the stories. There's this concept and coaching that we considered

232
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: the drama triangle.

233
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: We're either the.

234
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 9: Hero, the villain, the hero, the villain.

235
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: Or the victim sorry, within those three and if we're

236
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: not healed, we're always the victim, right, But ultimately we

237
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: want to become the hero of our own story and

238
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: not the or villainize anyone else. So I think that

239
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: I hear that within you being able to speak to Hey,

240
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 4: I went through this, and this is why I have

241
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: these boundaries for myself. And I don't know that important healed.

242
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 4: I don't know that you will be able to have

243
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: these conversations.

244
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: Because I probably like, yeah, that nigga.

245
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: All right, what's that? What's that?

246
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 5: Right?

247
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: That's an all black like the over.

248
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: Like you was right, Sis, Yeah, let's go.

249
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: But that's that's awesome. I have another question for you,

250
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: my life is Yeah, how.

251
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 4: Since the inception of PhD, since you decided to bless

252
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 4: us with this amazing forum for us to see ourselves

253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 4: and heal through storytelling, because that's what you're doing, how

254
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: have you evolved since episode one to present date?

255
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: First of all the way that you can't prepare with

256
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: your questions. I'm like, come on, now, it's your birthday.

257

Speaker 3: It's phg birthday, birthday.

00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, The Professional Home Girl has literally saved

Speaker 1: my life. Like not to I feel like I'm about

260
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: to get emotional, but like I feel like, you know,

261
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: I see what the Professional Homegirl is doing for everyone

262
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: that looks like us and even people who don't look

263
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,479
Speaker 1: like us, Like you know, when I create this platform,

264
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: I really wanted to be a love letter to black women.

265
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: I feel like it wasn't anything. Cairy already got me crying.

266
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: You the first first person having a conversation with you,

267
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: about to make me cry too, but yeah, but I

268
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, for someone who was always

269
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: people mistaken, mistaken my passion for like aggressiveness, and like

270
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: people always telling me that like I'm too much, and

271
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: like why do you talk like that, and like, you know,

272
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: just always having the show face was just always fucking exhausting,

273
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I just wanted to

274
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: wanted to create a platform where like women who look

275
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: like me, who sound like me, can just be themselves.

276
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: And you know, when I first started, it was just

277
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: a place for like a place where black women didn't

278
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: have to look far to see themselves. And I feel

279
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: like including myself, and I feel like now that the

280
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: platform has definitely grown into place for hope, I feel like.

281
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: People need to see in here, you.

282
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: Know, physical manifestations of what their life can possibly be.

283
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's what the Professional Homegirl is and

284
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: I think that she has.

285
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: She has been everything.

286
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: For me, everything, And I feel like God has placed

287
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: this on my heart and I just knew that it's

288
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: going to be everything that it is and everything that

289
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,040

Speaker 7: Talented at what you do.

602
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 15: That you make people feel comfortable with sharing their stories

603
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 15: and bringing them through without re traumatizing them.

604
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,440

611
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: like you just never know how your storyline can be

612

00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: this is when you know, podcasting was still on the rise.

633
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: You had your.

634
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: People that was already like popular doing it, but a

635
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't know what podcasting was. And when

636
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I started podcasting, a lot of people would tell me like, oh,

637
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: don't do that because people are already doing it. Oh,

638
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: you're going to do an episode like that? Like that

639
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: just sounds whack. And I always trusted myself. I always

640
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: knew that the professional Homegirl was going to be exactly

641
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: what she is and even more. And I feel like

642
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: also God showed me the vision even though nobody else

643
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: can see it. And even though at times I felt

644
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: like I was going crazy and delusional, but I really

645
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: really really believed in myself, and so I'm happy I

646
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: trust myself and kept going. And I knew, I knew,

647
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to be.

648
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 2: With this network, which is crazy.

649
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 15: Listen, you manifested it. What was the words in the

650
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 15: mouth right? Life and death and the power of the song?

651
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 7: What light it outside?

652
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: You put it there.

653
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 15: You put it out there, and so it shall be.

654
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 15: You just have to trust and be paid.

655
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 2: You have to yuh.

656
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: And I truly truly believe that God is not going

657
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: to put anything on our hearts that he would not

658
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: see it through. So you just gotta do the work,

659
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: because faith without work is dead.

660
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 3: It's dead.

661
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 15: You know what someone told me one day, I was

662
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 15: listening to a woman's speak and she said, have you

663
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 15: ever walked through the bread eye in the grocery store.

664
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: Right in the grocery store.

665
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 15: You go to the grocery store and you go through

666
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 15: the bread aisle, She's like, how many.

667
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 7: Brands of bread are there?

668
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 9: Facts?

669
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: She's like, wonder bread.

670
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 15: Don't care what Home Pride is doing, like what Pepper

671
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 15: Farm is doing. She was like, they're gonna make their

672
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 15: bread fast and someone's gonna buy their brand of bread.

673
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny you said that because that's

674
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: how I kept myself, Like I stay focused because I'm like, girl,

675
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: look how many rappers it is, or look how many

676
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: girls that's selling hair?

677
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: Like you can make it like so well, if.

678
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: A thousand people have a podcast, your podcast is needed,

679
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: just keep going. That's so funny you said that because

680
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: that's exactly how I feel.

681
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's what I thought about when you said, you

682
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 15: know about you know, listen, sometimes I don't even think

683
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 15: it's about people hating. I think it's about them being

684
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 15: them projecting their own insecurities on you for something that

685
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 15: they feel that they're afraid.

686
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: To do them facts facts because you couldn't do it,

687
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: don't mean I can exactly.

688
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: That's so funny. And jay Z said, you call those

689
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: type of people fear projectors.

690
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, yeah, it's true.

691
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because and a lot of times, like you said,

692
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: like people don't even do it like to be malicious.

693
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: I think people just be so afraid that they don't

694
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: want you. They don't want to see you feel, and

695
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: they don't want to see they don't want you to

696
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: feel what it feels like.

697
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: So but you know, I don't have no fear of feeling.

698
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: I feel like I felt so much and I feel

753
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,480

Speaker 16: It was an outlet for me to tell my story,

760
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 16: and I appreciate you listening to me, give me this

761
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 16: opportunity and giving other women a chance to come forward

762
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 16: with their story.

763
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I definitely feel like we won't say

764
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: what story is yours, want people to figure it out.

765
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: But I will say that a lot of people really

766
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: really really listen to your story and really appreciate the honesty,

767
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: and like you know, it definitely started a lot of conversations.

768
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 2: So I appreciate you for trusting me with that, for sure. Right, yes, now,

769
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: do you have any questions for me?

770
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 12: What MO debated you to start this podcast?

771
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: Well, not to be all somber and stuff.

772
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: Definitely five years ago, I was dealing with my own

773
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: mental health issues because I lost my grandmother and everybody know,

774
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: Nana was like my the alpha and omega to my

775
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: entire existence, and when she passed away, I never that

776
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: was my first time dealing with someone who passed away

777
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: or just dealing with death. So I never pretty much

778
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: experienced that so close. And so I went to a

779
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: went through a really really heavy depression and I started

780
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: going to therapy. Shout out to my therapist Dina, and

781
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: you know, just being able to like speak freely and

782
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: just share how I really felt without having to like

783
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: shoot coat shit, and you know, she just gave me

784
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: all these tools and resources on like, you know, just

785
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 1: how to navigate through grief, and you know, just throughout

786
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: all of that, you know, she definitely helped me become

787
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: a better person, definitely helped me keep my hands to myself.

788
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 9: And I.

789
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: Just thought it was cool, like what if I was

790
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: a started platform that I can be able to pass

791
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: on these the knowledge and stuff I learned from my

792
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 1: therapist and give it to other people. And at the time,

793
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't see a lot of places

794
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: where you know, black women can really be themselves and like,

795
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,959
Speaker 1: you know how we talk like we pop our shit.

796
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, we could still be smart with it and stuff.

797
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: So that's when I wanted to professional home Girl, to

798
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: be a place where women of color didn't have to

799
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: look far to see themselves.

800
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 16: Yeah, what was the wildest story that you ever heard?

801
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 12: Doing the podcast?

00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,040

Speaker 1: I ain't gonna license your story. Your story was out there, man,

Speaker 2: She started telling me her story, and I was like, nah, girl,

809
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: we're not doing this. Like I would definitely say if

810
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: I have to pick my top three, definitely your story.

811
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 2: I'm not going to see what it is. But it

812
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: was wild. What's the other story? I feel like I

813
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,680

816
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: So I've been record or pretty much all day. And

817
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: somebody else mentioned the Spooky series. No two people mentioned

818
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: the Spooky series. And you know, niggas don't like scary.

819
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: She like, they won't be fucking with the gouls and

Speaker 1: goblins and shit. But a lot of people like the

821
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: like that series, so thank you.

822
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that's like a sixth sense of our's

823
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 16: part of our black girl magic. Well we can tap

824
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 16: into the ghosts and the spirits and not be spooked

825
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 16: about it.

826
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ain't gonna lie though.

827
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: When when the spirits was trying to come and interact

828
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: and they turned the lights off and ship, I was like,

829
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: oh no, I was like, girl, keep that shit over

830
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: there because she was like those my friends.

831
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 2: I'm like nah. But I definitely loved the spooky series.

832
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 2: But what was the wildest.

833
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: I think another wild story was my father sexually abused me.

834
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: That story was crazy and not even on like I

835
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: mean obviously because of the topic, but just like my guess,

836
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: she had a crazy ass life. Man like she she

837
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: was different. Yeah, and I feel like I covered so

838
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: many different conversations.

839
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you never know what you're gonna get with

840
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 2: the professional home girl, right.

841
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 16: Have you ever had a celebrity as a guess.

842
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: I haven't had a celebrity, but I have had people who.

843
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 2: If you was to do your your Google, you would

844
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 2: know these people.

845
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: So but that is the next that is the next

846
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: chapter within the Professional Home Girls to start an interviewing celebrity.

847
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,560

Speaker 5: Yeah?

864
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: It gotta make sense though, because I feel like, especially

865
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: with the topics at hand, I feel like a lot

866
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: of people may not be able to like go through

867
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: with it because of some of the shit can be

868
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: really triggering and Also, you know, I feel like with

869
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: the Professional Homegirl, like you're gonna come into a safe space,

870
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,319

871
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: you good, you know what I'm saying. So I just

872
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: want to make sure that if I was to do

873
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: something and bring like like cross partnership across podcasts of case,

874
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe that it's a safe space for the for the guests,

875
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: because that's what's most important. Yeah, yeah, oh okay, good questions,

876
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: good questions. Where do you look forward to when it

877
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: comes to Professional Homegirl, Like in the next couple of years.

878
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 16: I want someone else to be touched. I want more

879
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 16: women to be encouraged to come forward and tell their

880
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 16: stories because we're shamed and we're hushed so much, yeah,

881
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 16: even by each other, and we have to stop that.

882
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 16: We have to be safe spaces for each other and

883
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 16: not be so quick to judge. Because even on my

884
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 16: own story, I saw some wild comments like come on, now,

885
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 16: watch yourself. I even know what you would do in

886
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 16: this predicament, so watch yourself.

887
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: But I commend you for not saying nothing because I

888
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: had another situation and normally not to cut you off,

889
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: but normally when I have younger girls, on. You know,

890
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm not a big sister to them, so sometimes I

891
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: hate when people make certain comments. I get it, like

892
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: we people aren't just judgmental, that's just what it is, right,

893
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: But I feel like with my younger sisters who come

894
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: on the show and share their stories, you know that

895
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: shit really be bothering them. And one of them started

896
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: like blacking out in the comments section. I had the

897
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: DM her and be like, girl, like fuck these people,

898
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: like you know your story, you know the situation, Like

899
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: you don't owe anybody no explanation, Like stop trying to

900
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: like go back and forth for people, because you just

901
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: waste time. So I do commend you on that because

902
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,919

Speaker 9: No more, I do, not, not anyone. I have to

924
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 9: think about it. I'm like, where am I at the moment?

925

00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: How long have you been a professional homegirl?

929
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

930
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 3: My god?

931
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 17: I almost feel as if I want to say it's

932
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 17: been since the start of my career, so I'm dating myself.

933
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 17: I feel like it's been a long time. But I

934
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 17: feel like I haven't fully been able to extend myself

935
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 17: as a true professional homegirl because of the fact that

936
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 17: in some spaces and places I didn't really feel like

937
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 17: I had much to offer or to give, like in

938
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 17: terms of really, you know, being there and leaning in.

939
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 9: To help others. Sometimes I felt like I didn't know

940
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 9: how to do it or when to do it.

941
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 2: Wow.

942
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 17: But now that I'm further along, I'm like, no, I

943
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 17: would say that I'm certified and that it's been yeah,

944
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 17: like the past ten years, I would say that I've

945
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 17: really been able to say this is how I want

946
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 17: to lean in for others, and here's I want them

947
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 17: to leverage me as well, so that it's a mutually

948
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 17: beneficial relationship.

949
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: Man, That is such a corporate response. Come on, now,

950
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: we got professional homegirls in all spaces.

951
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, very heavy on the corporate.

952
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 9: But no, it's really true though.

953
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 17: I feel that sometimes, you know, you start out in

954
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 17: your career, you do want to help people for the

955
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 17: most part. Yeah, some people want to help people. I'm

956
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 17: those people that want to help. But then I also

957
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 17: feel sometimes you're still trying to figure it out yourself,

958
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 17: so it's like you don't want to mislead anyone while

959
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 17: you're trying to figure something out. So for me, I'd

960
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 17: rather give people information that I know has been tested

961
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 17: and proven with. But here's how to save your life

962
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 17: so you don't have to make the same mistakes or

963
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 17: take as long as I did, as opposed to yeah,

964
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 17: as opposed to trying to be like, yeah, you know,

965
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 17: this is how you do it, and it's really.

966
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: Not I'm a professional homegirl So what does it mean

967
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: to be a professional homegirl? Like when you first heard

968
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: of the name, what does that mean to you?

969
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

970
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 17: So I really thought that it was basically what I

971
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 17: was just starting to say, like someone who has been

972
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 17: in a professional space where they're able to really help

973
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 17: others get to where they want to be. So they're

974
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 17: not probably the person you're going to call every day,

975
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 17: but when you do call them or you do reach

976
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 17: out to them, you know that they're going to have

977
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 17: something to pour into.

978
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 9: You because they are there.

979
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 17: They are the person or the people that you're going

980
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 17: to essentially to get some sort of guidance. Right, So

981
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 17: it's someone that I would think is go you along

982
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 17: your way. So a mixture of like a mentor a friend,

983
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 17: a coach, a little bit of all of that, and

984
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 17: the person's probably really dope matching your energy.

985
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 9: It's the way that I would say it.

986
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, listen, the professional homegirl got two sides. You

987
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: got the professional side, you are getting a professional Yes, yes,

988
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: you have any questions for me?

989
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 17: So I would say to you, what are you most

990
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 17: excited about? As PHG turns five years old, almost I'm

991
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 17: like not quite legal to drink, but getting.

992
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 2: There drinking tonight.

993
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm just excited about the many places and people that

994
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: PHG is going to impact in the future. I feel

995
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: like we're just getting started, and I feel like it's

996
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: so many people that are like, oh my god, like

997
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: what's the professional homegirl? Like that shit sounds mad cool?

998
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 1: And then when you just deep dive into over two

999
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: hundred different conversations, like I'm excited for that. I feel

1000
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: like it's really starting to like make an impact. So

1001
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: I'm excited, I'm happy, and it makes me feel good,

1002
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: like to know that, like I'm not her doing the

1003
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: Lord's work.

1004
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 17: Child, I'm telling you the Lord's work in all settings

1005
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 17: and spaces. But I mean, to be very honest, I'm

1006
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 17: very proud of you because you continue to do the work.

1007
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 17: And that's the other thing too, I think about being

1008
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 17: a professional Homegirl to someone else, it is worked.

1009
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 9: Any relationship is work. It's not just.

1010
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 17: One sided where you're like, all right, well, you know,

1011
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 17: here's everything that I need and then you get it

1012
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 17: from someone and then you just leave the person high

1013
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 17: and dry, Like that's not the way that it is.

1014
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 17: So to know that you continuously are putting yourself out there,

1015
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 17: you're continuously being an extension of who you want others

1016
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 17: to be to you. It's commendable because we also know

1017
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 17: that PhD can be exhausted from all the different pulls

1018
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 17: in that right back, come from different directions, but you

1019
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 17: do it so well, and you do with such a

1020
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 17: good positive energy. I feel like every time I've reached

1021
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 17: out to you, you've never been like I can't, you know, like,

1022
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 17: we'll try to figure we'll try to figure something out,

1023
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 17: and even on days that you're tired, like you make space.

1024
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 17: And I think that that's really huge and something that's underrated.

1025
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 17: So shout out to you for doing this work and

1026
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 17: for doing it with a smile and doing it heelplessly,

1027
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,160

1028
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 3: It's not easy.

1034
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 17: has to be mutual, Like there's times when you know,

1035
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 17: I don't always feel like I know what the heck

1036
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 17: is going on, and you have been like, no, girl,

Speaker 17: it out there to make sure or that is well

1039
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 17: received and then being able to receive it when it

1040
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 17: comes back in my direction.

1041
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 3: But I did have another question for.

1042
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 17: You, sure, what else can we look forward to as

1043

Speaker 9: Like what's coming next?

1045
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 1: Yes, so someone else asked me this question earlier, but

1046
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: I didn't really get to like deep dive in, and

1047
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,439
Speaker 1: so I mentioned how you know, a lot of people

1048
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: were introduced to me, introduced to the platform the Professional

1049
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: Homegirl brand by the podcast. So I for the podcast,

1050
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: I definitely want to get into more interviews or more conversations.

1051
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't really like seeing interviews, but the conversation seem

1052
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: more intimate than interviews. I definitely want to. I will

1053
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: be doing celebrity conversations. So I'm excited about that because

1054
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people that I have on my list

1055
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: are people that I either grew up on, I admire

1056
00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: or respect, So you know, super excited about that. As

1057
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, under the Professional Homegirl, we have the do

1058
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: love stories called day All, the one where I share

1059
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: real love, live experiences for my love life, and that

1060
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: has been such a joy.

1061
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: So we are manifesting a book deal. But it's so good.

1062
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 2: That's like, I love day all the one. It's so cute.

1063
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 9: I love this.

1064
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: Right, we have the coloring books that's coming out, but

1065
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: we have the third coloring book that's coming out that

1066
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: is going to be geared to career women, professional women

1067
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: because I feel like, you know, as someone who always

1068
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: knew that I wanted to be an entrepreneurs at a

1069
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: young age, I do feel like entrepreneurship has been glamorized

1070
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: and has been yeah, put to the forefront, and I

1071
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: think that, you know, there has been a lot of

1072
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: negative connotation when it comes to nine to fives. So

1073
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: I do want to like shine light on those who

1074
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: are committed to working a nine to five because I

1075
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: think that's fucking cool and I think that it's pretty

1076
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: dope to be able to, you know, climb up the

1077
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: corporate ladder, especially as a person of color, because we

1078
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: all know that shit is.

1079
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: Not easy, sorry at all.

1080
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I want to dedicate the third coloring books

1081
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 1: of the professional women out there, because I mean, every

1082
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 1: professional woman that is in my life is a black woman.

1083
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: So this is dedicated, definitely going to be dedicated to them.

1084
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: And I definitely want to get more, get really serious

1085
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: about my merch line because I have some really cool designs.

1086
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: So I want to get back into modeling and stuff

1087
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: and doing events, Like I just want this to be

1088
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: a household name or a global name, because I feel

1089
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: like the professional home Girl is becoming a household name.

1090
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,280

00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 17: All the stuff that you said is amazing, it's attainable.

1099
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 17: It is something that I know you're probably already like

1100
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 17: halfway through crushing it. So none of this stuff, you

1101

00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,040

1104
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 17: happened and much earlier than that. And that's again something

1105
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 17: that I do admire about you. But I want you

1106
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,560

Speaker 17: of you because it can't be good for us and

1113
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:55,360

00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:56,479
Speaker 2: And you make a good point.

1115
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: I definitely, like I've been heavy on my self love,

1116
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: like taking care of myself up and doing those things.

1117
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: But I'm definitely going to just step it up a

1118
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: notch because I know that I'm going to be doing

1119
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot more and yeah, like I want to do

1120

1122
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: one body, as we know it, so.

1123
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 17: Then there's that, you know, like one and a half,

1124
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 17: you start altering it.

1125
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 14: Listen, Okay, if you're lucky, you got some coins, you

1126

Speaker 2: Kim thank you so much. I appreciate you, sirs. Thank

1137
00:57:55,120 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 2: you call it on line. What's your name? Where you from?

1138
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 6: I'm Chris. I'm from originally for Bronx, New York, and

1139
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 6: I live in Florida right now. And I wanted to

1140
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 6: ask you where did the idea for the coloring books

1141
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 6: come from? Like, where did that concept come from?

1142
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 2: That's a good question.

1143
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody ever asked me that. So, you know,

1144
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, you know, Niggas was bored and.

1145
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 2: I love to read.

1146
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: So I used to go to all these different bookstores

1147
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: when they were open, and I was just trying to

1148
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: figure out a different way to like incorporate the podcast

1149
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: and besides merch, because I feel like everybody has merched,

1150
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: but I just wanted something cool. And so when I

1151
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: was going to the bookstores whatever, I was starting to

1152
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: see that, you know, people were coloring during the pandemic,

1153
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: and people was finding that coloring was very therapeutic and

1154
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: a lot of statistics shows that it helps with like stress,

1155
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: like it helps with anxiety and things of that nature.

1156
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: And coloring is also really popular amongst black women, and

1157
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: so I'm like, oh, that'd be kind of cool.

1158
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 2: If I was to.

1159
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: Do a coloring book, but I'm like, how can I

1160
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: incorporate that into the podcast?

1161
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, oh shit, I'm like, what.

1162
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: If I just put a QR code on each of

1163
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: the pages and that way, when people are coloring, they

1164
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: can also have this interactive experience and listen.

1165
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 2: To the story that goes with the page. And then

1166
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 2: I was like, there you go, bitch.

1167
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 6: I think that that was It was so unique to

1168
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 6: me and I always wanted to ask you that where

1169
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 6: did that concept come from? Which you're absolutely right, it

1170
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 6: helps people with an exacty.

1171
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 7: That was brilliant.

1172
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, thank you.

1173
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 6: That was brilliant.

1174
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: You have another question, yes, I do.

1175
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 6: So what inspired you and motivated you to begin the podcast?

1176
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 6: And where did the I'm sorry, it's like two questions

1177
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 6: that where did the idea? Because oh, let me say,

1178
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 6: I just think you're brilliant. But I think that was

1179
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 6: so different that every guest is anonymous, right makes it

1180
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 6: so like catchy, like you want to know who.

1181
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 16: This person is.

1182
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 6: The stories are interesting. Where did that concept the idea

1183
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 6: come from of saying, Okay, I'm to do a podcast,

1184
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 6: but they have to be an hoymous, Well, you.

1185
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 2: Know what it was.

1186
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: So when I started the podcast, you know, podcasting was

1187
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: like still like not nobody knew knew what the podcast was.

1188
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: So you still had people that was like really prominent,

1189
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: really popular in it, but that was only like what

1190
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: five people, and podcasting has been around for almost a

1191
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: decade or so at this point, and so, you know,

1192
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to do the podcast because I was going

1193
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: through my own mental health journey after my grandmother passed away,

1194
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: and I was going through therapy on my own spiritual

1195
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: journey and just trying to figure out, you know, just

1196
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: this thing called life. And then once I got everything

1197
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: that I needed I was able to I was just like,

1198
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: it'll be cool for me to share this with other

1199
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: women who look like me, because you know, everybody unfortunately

1200
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: don't have access to therapy. And so I started realizing, Okay,

1201
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: if I do a podcast, I just always know that

1202
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: when I do something or something with business, you just

1203
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: got to have something that stands out.

1204
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 2: That's just the name of the game.

1205
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: And I was just trying to figure out what can

1206
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: I do to stand out with the podcast, Like, I

1207
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: know I can interview black women, I know me and

1208
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: my sisters. We can KEI key, we can you know,

1209
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: pop our shit and they can really give it up.

1210
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: But also people have a sense of you know, they

1211
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: don't really get to the nitty gritty of things, and

1212
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: people know who you are. So I'm like, oh, what

1213
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: if people were anonymous? And I'm like, Okay, that might

1214
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: be kind of cool. And I also feel like it

1215
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: makes people more comfortable to key key when niggas don't

1216
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: know who you are.

1217
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

1218
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: You know, we live in such a we have a

1219
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: does this society is so judgmental, So you know, I

1220
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: think that when you do listen to these stories and

1221
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: you hear these women voices and their stories, you know,

1222
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: it makes you want to know more about that person

1223
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: because you're like, damn, like if she can get through it,

1224
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: I know I can get through anything.

1225
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: You know? Inspiring?

1226
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 6: And how long have you Like all right, you started

1227
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 6: it in twenty twenty, said twenty nineteen nineteen.

1228
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 3: So.

1229
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 6: Like what are the what are have you experienced like

1230
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 6: any like robot, Like how do you come up with

1231
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 6: the concept of your shows? Like do people just do

1232
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 6: you reach out to people or do people reach out

1233
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 6: to you? I got a story, like, how does that work?

1234
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 6: Where did the ideas come from?

1235
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: So I'm like a like I love to read.

1236
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I read a lot, and I think the I think

1237
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: the reason why this show has been so successful is

1238
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: because I read so much.

1239
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 2: Like I'm like an avid.

1240
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Researcher, so I always want to talk about things that's

1241
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: either trending, things that's definitely tabooed within our community.

1242
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 2: Or things that you know, I just want to know

1243
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 2: more about.

1244
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: And I think that at this point it's been word

1245
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: of mouth, but I still like to like do my

1246
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 1: research and vet because like, I feel like, as long

1247
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: as we have life, there gonna always be a story.

1248
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 2: As long as we have breath, there will always be stories.

1249
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: So I just think it's a matter of just like

1250
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: just being strategic, being intentional, and like, you know, just

1251
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: trying to hit on different stories. And I also feel like,

1252
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: as of lately, I've been really one to showcase professional women,

1253
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: Like I feel like women with nine to fives and

1254
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: with good careers don't really get the credit that they

1255
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: deserve because I feel like right now everybody want to

1256
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: glamorize entrepreneurship and that shit is no joke, you know

1257
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and I just want to just share

1258
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 1: some light and love on those women who like who

1259
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: did the damn thing like growing or you know, working

1260
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: up the corporate ladder is it's not easy. So I

1261
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: think that's that's my goal. But yeah, that's my goal.

1262
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I want to share more stories on black women, And

1263
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think that it's okay because I feel

1264
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: like I've been in a struggle between you know, sharing

1265
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: these like really deep traumatic stories. But it's like I

1266
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: don't want to always let people. I don't want that that.

1267
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't want people to think that's what black women

1268
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: look like. Like I feel like we're much more than

1269
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: our pain. But then again, it's just like, oh, that

1270
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: is a part of who we are and that helps

1271
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: us get to where we're trying to go. So have

1272
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: been it's been a constant struggle with that because you know,

1273
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: I want to talk about like I interview a calgarl

1274
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: that that episode was fire or like yeah, like I

1275
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: want to talk about different things, like different like I

1276
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: did a spooky series, like just talking about like a

1277
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: ufologists something like. I just think that people need to

1278
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: see themselves in different spaces besides pain.

1279
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 6: Yes, you know, yes, and I'm so glad that you

1280
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 6: touched on that because, like you said, that's really the

1281
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 6: focus for black women. It's like the struggle and yeah,

1282
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 6: it's not we're trying to it. They like almost romanticize

1283
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 6: that for us. It's like this is just a piece

1284
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 6: of who we are.

1285
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I've really been struggling with that because I'm like, oh,

1286
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: like I just don't want like I want and I

1287
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: get it, like because I feel like these stories do

1288
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: give a voice to those who didn't think they have voices,

1289
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: and it helps people feel seen. But I just feel

1290
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: like we're just so much more than that, you know.

1291
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, we really are, and I want to thank you

1292
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 6: for recognizing that because people, uh make money off of

1293
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 6: all pain and struggles.

1294
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's.

1295
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 6: Time to change the narrative and lift us up. And

1296
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 6: you're a prime example of that. You know what I'm saying,

1297
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 6: seeing a black woman successful and in a great space,

1298
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, and opening other doors for

1299
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 6: other black women to be in that same space. Yeah,

1300
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 6: I have another question, Come on, what what did you

1301
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 6: what were the what did you learn from twenty eighteen

1302
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 6: when you started up until now? Like what they're like

1303
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 6: bumps in the road, Has it been smooth and fun or.

1304
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:56,959
Speaker 2: You know they've been smooth.

1305
01:05:58,360 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 12: That I want to.

1306
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing, and I know this

1307
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: may sound cliche, is you gotta be really delusional about

1308
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: your dreams.

1309
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I have felt that.

1310
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I have been so delusional, Like I

1311
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: know that God has like really like he showed me

1312
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: what my future looks like. And I would talk about

1313
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: a non stop until it happened. And I think for me,

1314
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: the biggest lesson I took away from this journey is

1315
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: always believe in yourself. Like believing in yourself and knowing

1316
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: who you are would take you so farther in life.

1317
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 2: And also to be nice. I feel like a.

1318
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: Lot of opportunities that I receive is because I'm genuinely nice,

1319
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: and I do believe that manners will take you way

1320
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 1: further than money can.

1321
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 6: Oh yes, oh yes, honey.

1322
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 3: You know what.

1323
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 6: Somebody say, you gotta let these people know you're not available.

1324
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 6: You can't tell me how to deal with my client.

1325
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 6: So what I'm going to do and may be a holiday,

1326
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 6: it may be something somebody may be doing shadow work

1327
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 6: and having a breakdown holiday. I'm not going to answer

1328
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 6: for them. Yeah, that's that's crazy to me. This is

1329
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 6: what I was into. It's dealing with people. So from that,

1330
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 6: your podcast is out there helping somebody. There is a

1331
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 6: story or situation for everybody. And I love that because

1332
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 6: somebody can listen and say, oh, this person is abused,

1333
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 6: or they're looking forward out me too, and and and

1334
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 6: the person may be telling how they made their exit plan.

1335
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 6: You're going to be a part of the way people

1336
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 6: look at podcasts. You're going to be a part of

1337
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 6: that history. You know. Ebane took it and switched the

1338
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 6: narrative right. I was able to leave because I listened

1339
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 6: to a woman on her show.

1340
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 2: Serious No Facts Fast.

1341
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you the amount of emails I received,

1342
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: and I received one of email and just the sum

1343
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: her story up whatever. She listened to an episode called

1344
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: I Think It's I Am Bipolar Too or I was

1345
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: in because this guest was on the show more than

1346
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: once and she pretty much was just sharing her mental

1347
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: health history. And in the letter, the girl told me

1348
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: that because of that episode, you know, she was able

1349
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: to forgive her friend because when the pandemic happened. Up

1350
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: until the pandemic, she never showed any or displayed any

1351
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: like mental health issues or mental illnesses web case, maybe

1352
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 1: whatever happened in the pandemic. She pretty much like, Yeah,

1353
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: she pretty much just did a three sixty and she

1354
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: ended up killing somebody. And you know, the girl said

1355
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: that when she listened to the episode, she said it

1356
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: really showed her a different perspective when it comes to

1357
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: mental illness, and it really helped her to forgive her

1358
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: friend and be a better friend for her.

1359
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 2: And I was just like wow.

1360
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: So I actually hooked her up with the girl who

1361
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: was one of the guests on that episode, because I'm

1362
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: just like, you just never know what people are going

1363
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:52,440
Speaker 1: through mentally.

1364
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 6: You don't. You don't a lot of people when I

1365
01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 6: did your episode, when we did that show, and I

1366
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 6: you've passed on, you passed on customers to me that

1367
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 6: have been with me for years. Yeah, so I'm very

1368
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 6: grateful for you, and you see you help somebody else.

1369
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:15,719

01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 6: I mean, you're gonna get the girl. We you know,

Speaker 6: I really thank you.

1390
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: So what do I have a question for you? So

1391
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: when you first heard of the Professional Homegirl, what did

1392
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: you think about that?

1393
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 5: Like?

1394
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:27,799
Speaker 2: What do you think? What did you think it means?

1395
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 2: Or what does it mean to you? Now?

1396
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 6: It was intriguing because I was like professional Homegirl. It

1397
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 6: was comforting because it's like, yeah, I'm this, I'm a professional,

1398
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 6: you know, I'm I'm I can be this. But I

1399
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 6: could also turn that off well and comfort like the

1400
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 6: professional homegirl, like if you didn't have a sister, you

1401
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,759
Speaker 6: have a sister and me. You know what I'm saying.

1402
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 6: You know, like it, don't worry if you don't have friends.

1403
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:53,800

Speaker 8: and it's okay.

1407
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 6: And I think, especially in the pandemic, there were a

1408
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 6: lot of people that didn't have nobody. Yeah, so maybe

1409
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 6: I feel like you're everybody's sister, the professional or everybody's friend,

1410
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. That's what I got from it.

1411
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 6: What's my last Okay, how were you able to make

1412
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 6: the time? Well, how were you able to make this

1413
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 6: to do the podcast? And when you were working? Like,

1414
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 6: how were you make it? Like when you were working

1415
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 6: at the when I first mentioned you got a regular job. Yeah,

1416
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 6: how did take the time to do the podcast and work?

1417
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 5: Well?

1418
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people don't know or they

1419
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: assume that I don't have a job still and I

1420
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: still have my nine to five, but the goal, yeah exactly.

1421
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: But the goal is definitely to transition out. So that's

1422
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: something I've been working towards, which I know it's going

1423
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: to happen soon. But you know, I always had good,

1424
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: great discipline, But I'm not going to see the person

1425
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 1: and say that it's not it's easy, is not. And

1426
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: then you know me, you know, I sacrifice a lot.

1427
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: So I sacrifice my health, my sleep, eating, like you know,

1428
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: because I was working, and it was at one point

1429
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 1: because I was trying to get my money back up

1430
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: and like I was trying to get my apartment and

1431
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 1: stuff and like you know, just get back and good standing.

1432
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: So it was one point upon a time I was

1433
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: working two jobs and doing a podcast and nobody knew.

1434
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 18: How wash you girl?

1435
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 6: Because I know this tastes a lot of work, it does.

1436
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 6: I see you working really hard, so I thought you

01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: him is like like a dream come true.

1558
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:21,440
Speaker 2: So Thanksla.

1559
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: Yes, what has been your favorite episode or like with

1560
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: some topics that you've noticed that stood out and you

1561
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: was like, girl, that's not fair.

1562
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna pick just one. I'm not gonna pick

1563
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 5: just one. I'm actually gonna double that back on you.

1564
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 5: What has been a topic that made you be like, dang,

1565
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 5: this is this is wild.

1566
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think my number one episode has been My

1567
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: mother and I Are Sisters.

1568
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was kind of crazy.

1569
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: That was insane, Like and I was gonna me and

1570
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 1: a lady who my guests. We was having a conversation

1571
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: for almost three hours and that's shit. Was crazy, and

1572
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, it became I think the

1573
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 1: reason why it was so popular because you know, in

1574
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: the South or just all over, like people have incests

1575
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: in their family. So you know, I'm really really proud

1576
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 1: of that conversation because a lot of people were sharing

1577
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 1: their generational trauma because of the episode.

1578
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 5: M And So that's like, that's a question, that's a

1579
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,679
Speaker 5: conversation in and of itself. Why do you think when

1580
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 5: we talk about, first of all, what a stereotype that

1581
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 5: people from the South Marion, they cousins and they they

1582
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 5: send their family members. But it really, it really is

1583
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 5: true because sometimes, like especially with slavery and family moving

1584
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 5: away from each other, or family just being in such

1585
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 5: close proximity to each other and not having access to

1586
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 5: other people. I think that's actually something we as modern

1587
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:58,719
Speaker 5: women take for granted, is the ability for us to

1588
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 5: really expand and beyond our hometown, our counties, our states,

1589
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 5: to find other people, even if you can't physically go,

1590
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,720
Speaker 5: it's as easy. I had a homegirl shout out to

1591
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say her name, but shout out to

1592
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 5: her because this is what I would put y'all one game.

1593
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 5: This is a travel hack for her. When she would

1594
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 5: travel to a new city or a new country, she

1595
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 5: would switch her tender profile to match the place she

1596
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 5: was in, and then she would match with people in

1597
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 5: that country and get taking out on free dates, get

1598
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,719
Speaker 5: free food, free states like Oh, now, I wouldn't recommend

1599
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 5: y'all stay with a stranger.

1600
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would recommend it.

1601
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 5: I wouldn't recommend that we don't have to get creative,

1602
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 5: but you got to get creative, and she would change it.

1603
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 5: And I mean, and she married a guy from like Belgium.

1604
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 5: I think, I don't know, it was like something really crazy,

1605
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 5: but I think we just take that aspect for granted,

1606
01:20:56,280 --> 01:21:00,679
Speaker 5: and like, you know, just that whole and says thing,

1607
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 5: we got to get up out of at y'all because

1608
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 5: there's no excuse for that in twenty twenty three.

1609
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what else it is too. I

1610
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 2: also feel like.

1611
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: You know, when I was going through some shit when

1612
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I really thought that I was

1613
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: the only person that went through it.

1614
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 2: So when you hear these.

1615
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: Stories, you know, it kind of gives you hope, and

1616
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 1: it also kind of gives you confirmation, like I wasn't

1617
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: the only person that was going through this. Ship, and

1618
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: it's people out there who went through it and overcame.

1619
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 1: So I think that's why it's important for us to

1620
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: like branch out of our safety net and to like

1621
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: really connect with other people because you just never know

1622
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 1: who you can meet that can help you.

1623
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 5: Along your journey exactly. And sometimes I think that that's

1624
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 5: the thing too, meeting other people. It doesn't especially of

1625
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 5: the opposite sex, doesn't always have to be like in

1626
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 5: this romantic type of thing. Sometimes you can meet people

1627
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:51,759
Speaker 5: and have a genuine connection and it's really like we're vibing.

1628
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 5: Like fact, the first time I met you, when we

1629
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 5: had a conversation on the phone, y'all I have to

1630
01:21:58,160 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 5: do our slumber party.

1631
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we was on the phone.

1632
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,600
Speaker 1: We first talked for like what two hours?

1633
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 2: We were talking about everything.

1634
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: But that's just lets you know, like your people are

1635
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 1: out there and sometimes you just have to go out

1636
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:14,600
Speaker 1: there and find them. Because we started off from you

1637
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: having conversations with Charlamagne to us talking through email and

1638
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 1: now we talk.

1639
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 2: Then when we do talk, we talk.

1640
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, when we do talk, we talk extensively. But that's

1641
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 5: why I'm just even knowing you. That's why I'm so

1642
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 5: proud of you, and because you've created a platform that

1643
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 5: has been able to you've been able to touch other

1644
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 5: people with your silly stories, with your crazy stories, with

1645
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 5: your helpless stories, and with your own story. So you know, congratulations,

1646
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,640
Speaker 5: we sell we're celebrating anniversary.

1647
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, thank you, step I appreciate you so much.

1648
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 2: Do you have any questions for me?

1649
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 5: I do have? I have a couple of yes, come on,

1650
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 5: come on off, answer you answer one question. Here's the

1651
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 5: second question out of all of these years coming up

1652
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 5: on an anniversary for a professional homegirl, what would you

1653
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 5: say has been the biggest like, what would you say

1654
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 5: has been the biggest impact that you've seen that the

1655
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 5: podcast has happened.

1656
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:30,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good question, Oprah. I think just the

1657
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: podcast itself. I don't think that. You know, when I

1658
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: started the podcast, I needed a place to see myself.

1659
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: You know, I always tell my listeners this, I feel

1660
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: like I was also I was always like misjudge, like

1661
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: people would often mistake my passion for aggressiveness or like that.

1662
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: You know, we come from certain neighborhoods, so people would

1663
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: make me feel like I was never good enough wherever

1664
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 1: the case may be. And I just wanted to create

1665
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: a place where women like myself didn't have to look

1666
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 1: far to see themselves. And I think that over time,

1667
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think the podcast has just been so

1668
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,640
Speaker 1: impactful because I received so many emails and like dms,

1669
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: and like, you know, even in a comments section, like

1670
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,799
Speaker 1: you know, I be kind of like you know, nervous

1671
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: to share my family business and just to see people

1672
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 1: are just like dispelling all these this trauma that they

1673
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: endure or that's been lingering over their family. So you know,

1674
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm really really really proud that God chose me to

1675
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,760
Speaker 1: be able to do this work and to be able

1676
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 1: to see it through because I know for a fact,

1677
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: and not even with just black women, I think the

1678
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 1: podcast is helping everyone.

1679
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 2: Like The Professional.

1680
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: Homegirl will always be a love letter to a woman

1681
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: of color, but the amount of the support and love

1682
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 1: I give from people who don't look like us is

1683
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: even more better because it's like, now you see that

1684
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 1: black women are not monolithic. Black women are not a

1685
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: certain way, like I really wanted to change to shift

1686
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: the narrative of how black women are being seen. I

1687
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: think that you know, when you hear these stories and

1688
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 1: you hear the stories when people are coming from certain

1689
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: upbringings or certain backgrounds, or just you know, certain decisions

1690
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: because that's the only choice they have. I think they

1691
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of put a lot of things in perspective. So

1692
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm really, really, really proud of the work I've been

1693
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: doing with this platform.

1694
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,639
Speaker 5: And knowing what I know about how you were able

1695
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 5: to manifest this podcast. It's not just manifested, but manifested

1696
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,919
Speaker 5: and do the work, because it's one thing to manifest

1697
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 5: in journal, it's another thing to apply action behind those

1698
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 5: behind those intentions. What advice would you give to other

1699
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 5: women who are trying to bring some who are trying

1700
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 5: who have a baby of a project, who is trying

1701
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 5: to birth something, Because not only did you bring this

1702
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 5: to life and breathe life into it, you got it

1703
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 5: on one of the most popular and successful podcast networks

1704
01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 5: that we have out there, Black Effect Podcast Network. What

1705
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:03,879
Speaker 5: advice would you give to women who are not necessarily

1706
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 5: trying to even if it's not in the podcast space,

1707
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:06,759
Speaker 5: but just in general.

1708
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's that saying if you can oh, what's that

1709
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 2: saying about?

1710
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 1: If you can see them visible, you can do the impossible?

1711
01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 1: Like I feel, Yeah, it's something like that, But I

1712
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: feel like.

1713
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:21,640
Speaker 7: You know, you know me.

1714
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm a very spiritual person, Like my love for God

1715
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: is very deep, and I just feel like when you

1716
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: whoever you believe in, whoever it's a higher power. I

1717
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: do not believe that higher power is going to put

1718
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: something in your heart and not see it through. And

1719
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: I just feel like once I got that vision of

1720
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: what the podcast was going to be and just my

1721
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: overall brand, I locked in. So I would say that

1722
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 1: you have to lock in and you have to be

1723
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 1: you have to be delusional, like I used to talk

1724
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 1: about the Professional Homegirl every single day, and even when

1725
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: it came to just joining Black Effect Podcast Network, I

1726
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: will talk about that shit every day, like I will

1727
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,639
Speaker 1: talking about it so much that I made myself believe

1728
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 1: it it was just only a matter of time that

1729
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: it was going to happen. So I was just saying, like,

1730
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 1: you just have to lock in, like you got to

1731
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 1: remove all the distractions and just stay focused because I

1732
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: do believe that anything is possible and it will happen.

1733
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 17: Mmm.

1734
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 5: I love that answer. Now I have I have a

1735
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 5: couple more questions though these are kind of some key

1736
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 5: questions because when I found out I was going to

1737
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 5: be doing this. I had to text quickly a couple

1738
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 5: of my friends and was like, look, I'm going on

1739
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 5: the Professional Homegirl podcast. What kind of stories? What kind

1740
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 5: of questions? Because it's about storytelling and we gotta tell

1741
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,640
Speaker 5: some stories. So I gotta I got a question for you.

1742
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 5: How would you respond to this? Anonymous? I will not

1743
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 5: air my girl out, but she's dating a guy and

1744
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 5: this guy she found out this guy used to be

1745
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,559
Speaker 5: a petty thief. So she like, like he's said something

1746
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 5: like a petty thief. Let me get let me break,

Speaker 5: he would talk to her about how like if I

1749
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 5: would have robbed somebody, this is how I would do

1750
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:12,759
Speaker 5: it if I would to do this, and she was like, Okay,

1751
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 5: that's kind of odd, but go off. And then he

1752
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 5: admitted to her one day that yeah, he used to

1753
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,959
Speaker 5: be a petty thief. And then I was like, okay,

1754
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 5: well what did he steal? Like when you say petty thief,

1755
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:32,160

1756
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:34,879
Speaker 5: meat out like out the growth.

1757
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 2: That's such.

Speaker 5: And not only did he not only did he tell

1759
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 5: her he used to steal meat, he reenacted how he

1760
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:51,639
Speaker 5: used to steal meat out of the store by putting

1761
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 5: it in his pants in his shirt.

1762
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:55,719
Speaker 2: You know what's.

1763
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 3: Get your heart of that?

1764
01:28:58,080 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 5: If your man said he stole meat.

1765
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 2: First of all, wait, did you hear that story about

1766
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:02,679
Speaker 2: them nigga still in our sales?

1767
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 5: That's what made me think. And I swear I did

1768
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 5: not steal this story from that story, and this I

1769
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 5: promise you this is like a real story. And it

1770
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 5: made me laugh because I'm like, these dudes just got

1771
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,600
Speaker 5: done getting caught stealing hodshill.

1772
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: Nah, she gonna have to leave that nigga along, cause

1773
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:19,599
Speaker 1: it's like, boy, why are we still in meat?

1774
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 2: Like come on now, like what type of meat do

1775
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 2: you want? Lay? Or something like when are we still.

1776
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,680
Speaker 5: In specify the type of meat? I'm assuming it was

1777
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 5: high grades of cuts, because if you're stuffing frozen meat

1778
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 5: down your pants, like, it's gotta be dire.

1779
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, how do you she feel about it?

1780
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:37,680
Speaker 2: Like like, is she still devast.

1781
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 5: No, she was devastated. And I was like, this is

1782
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 5: the next step. Is you guys going in a car

1783
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 5: and sitting in the Walmart parking lot and him passing

1784
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 5: you a ski mask.

1785
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, saying let's steal.

1786
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 1: Or not even that her just being in the car

1787
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: and he running out and she not even knowing what's

1788
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: going on, so she probably thinks it's just something completely

1789
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 1: what it is and they're getting chased with some damn

1790
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 1: meat with some.

1791
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 5: Meat and yes, And so when she told me this,

1792
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:05,160
Speaker 5: I'm like, this, dude's just and she was like, you're

1793
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,280
Speaker 5: not gonna believe me when I tell you this? And

1794
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 5: I said, is it that bad? And she was like this, Nigga,

1795
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 5: is what's stealing meat? And then she said it was.

1796
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 5: And I'm like, if you'll steal Meet once, oh, you

1797
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,480
Speaker 5: still need to steal meat again.

1798
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 2: Especially when you got craving for something you ain't get.

1799
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 5: No coins and you have no coins now. So if

1800
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 5: your man sat down and said, baby, I used to

1801
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,719
Speaker 5: steal meat and then showed you how he would stuff

1802
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 5: Meet down his pants, what would be your reaction to that? Nah?

1803
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 1: I'll probably be like, Nigga, what'll be doing here? Because

1804
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 1: the fact that you're reenacting lets me know that you're

1805
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 1: putting me onto what's going to happen really soon.

1806
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 2: I don't want no.

1807
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,160
Speaker 1: Parts of that, like no, especially at this big age

1808
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:54,919
Speaker 1: like Nigga meet met Nah, she gotta leave him alone.

1809
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 2: And not even that.

1810
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 1: Because I also feel like when you steal one thing,

1811
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 1: unfortunately you can steal something else and nah, we're too

1812
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:04,640
Speaker 1: old for that now. I was like young, you know,

1813
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 1: a kid like kids still like I used to steal

1814
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 1: back in the day.

1815
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:09,799
Speaker 2: He's stealing shit right now, like come on now.

1816
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 1: Meet and I don't even eat meat. So it's like, nigga,

1817
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 1: I can't even benefit off this.

1818
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,160
Speaker 5: At least took produce, like come.

1819
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,640
Speaker 2: On, nigga, my extent something else. Were like, nah, she

1820
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:23,720
Speaker 2: can't be involved with that.

1821
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 5: No, No, I thought that was I thought that was

1822
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 5: absolutely hilarious. Here's another one that I thought was hilarious

1826
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:45,640
Speaker 5: Her man asked her to create a logo for another

1827
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 5: woman who he claims like they have no ties to

1828
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 5: each other, and he's asking her to create a website

1829
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:58,520

1830
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 5: asking her do he want does she want her services?

1831
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:05,759

Speaker 5: currently having relations, but they had relations in the past,

1835
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:21,680
Speaker 5: and he lied about it until she pretty much had

1836
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 5: to pull it out of him, like why do you

1837
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 5: want me to do this for this person?

1838
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 3: Dumb?

1839
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,200

1866
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,720
Speaker 5: and to be real, when I told my homegirls, I'm like,

1867
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 5: y'all gotta give me some stories to talk about real quick.

1868
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:47,640
Speaker 5: Some of these stories they have not even ran past me.

01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 5: They like just say that, like, let's talk about it

1872
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 5: discuss this, but okay, if y'all want to put business

1873
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 5: out there, let's talk about it along.

01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:02,599

Speaker 1: Entire fucking mouth lea because he's bold. He is so bold,

1877
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:11,639
Speaker 1: and I feel like these men these days are very bold.

1878
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: So but you know what, when you play super games,

1879
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: you gonna win super prizes.

1880
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 2: I wish nigga would try me with like what do

1881
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 2: what for?

1882
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 5: Who? Absolutely not? Absolutely not? And you know what's crazy?

1883
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,719
Speaker 5: I think the bigger picture here to all the listeners

1884
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:30,640
Speaker 5: of the Professional Homegirl podcasts. As women, no matter what

1885
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,639
Speaker 5: your color is, we have to know our work knows.

1886
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 5: I just got out, I just broke up with my man,

1887
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:41,720
Speaker 5: literally not that long ago, and really relearning yourself, regaining

1888
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 5: the confidence in yourself that kind of no matter how

1889
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 5: good your man is, there is a level of you

1890
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 5: that kind of I won't say guys, it diminishes when

1891
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 5: you get in a relationship with somebody, especially when you're

1892
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 5: like us and your movers and shakers. There's a level

1893
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 5: of yourself that you have to dim down to be

1894
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:04,679
Speaker 5: able to make space for this other person to shine.

1895
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 5: And you know, when women, especially like my friends, tell

1896
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 5: me stories like that, it makes.

1897
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 6: Me so sad.

1898
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it makes me so sad that we, as women,

1899
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 5: we put ourselves in position to excuse my language, to

1900
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 5: be mentally mind fucked like yeah by dudes consistently.

1901
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1902
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 16: You know.

1903
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 1: I saw a post about Stebman, Oprah's boyfriend, and I

1904
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, we don't give him enough credit.

1905
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 5: Man, we don't, we do not give.

1906
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: We do Graham, Yo that when I meet Oprah, I

1907
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: just want to have to talk about relationships because I

1908
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: think That says a lot about a man who is

1909
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 1: so confident in his masculinity that he is able to

1910
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 1: let his woman be exactly who she always dream of being.

1911
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,799
Speaker 1: And a lot of men cannot handle that. And Steben

1912
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,400
Speaker 1: has did it with such grace from what we know,

1913
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 1: and even if it wasn't as graceful from what it appears,

1914
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 1: we would never know.

1915
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 5: We would never know. But you know, I think that's

1916
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:14,120
Speaker 5: a testament. That's because Stepman not only is he man

1917
01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:17,599
Speaker 5: enough to do it, he set an environment for himself

1918
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 5: that he's confident in the work that he does to

1919
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 5: where he feels like he does not have to compete

1920
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:25,759
Speaker 5: with Oprah because they are not in the same realm.

1921
01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 5: Your career not operate in the same orbit he has.

1922
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 5: What is he a lawyer? I think he's a lawyer

1923
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:33,599
Speaker 5: or a.

1924
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: Lawyer, a professor, he's an author, he's a businessman.

1925
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 5: He has his own thing to where Stepman can step

1926
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 5: in the room and hold his own And let's not

1927
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 5: forgid before Oprah, and you know I love Oprah, we

1928
01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 5: both love it. I know before Oprah, and she's also

1929
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 5: an aquarium.

1930
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 2: See I'm just about to say that.

1931
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 5: Oprah, let's get you on the professional homek Ye, just

1932
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 5: put that out there. I interview, Yes, you're gonna get

1933
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:11,599
Speaker 5: that interview girl. And the thing is with them, before

1934
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,719
Speaker 5: she became Oprah as we know it, Stepman was really

1935
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 5: the one that had the super solid career. No, he

1936
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 5: was and still is very respected in his craft. And

1937
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 5: when she blew up, he didn't get jealous. We don't

1938
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:33,480
Speaker 5: see out here, and I think it just not them individually.

1939
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:37,480
Speaker 5: It shows how strong their relationship is that he allegedly,

1940
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:40,120
Speaker 5: because this is what I've read because I don't know

1941
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 5: them people yet, apparent allegedly he asked her to marry

1942
01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 5: him more than a couple of times, and she said

1943
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 5: no because for her own whatever reasons that she had.

1944
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 5: But I think it takes a strong two people to

1945
01:37:56,520 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 5: realize that sometimes that might complicate things. You know, sometimes

1946
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 5: that might make the relationship unbalanced, and he might expect

1947
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 5: things from her, or society might expect things from him

1948
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 5: or both of them that at their level of career

1949
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 5: that they just can't give. But they can give what

1950
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:20,599
Speaker 5: they can to make their relationship. Yeah, stepfast and what

1951
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:24,719
Speaker 5: it is. So shout out to Stepmen because you're totally correct.

1952
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 5: He's been able to stand by her, uplift her, not

1953
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 5: make her look crazy.

1954
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 2: I ain't had no babies on her child.

1955
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 5: You know, some of these celebrity dudes be wiling baby.

1956
01:38:37,280 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 1: I am manifesting Stepmans for all of us. Man, because

1957
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: that's a good man, Savannah, that's.

1958
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:43,679
Speaker 3: A good man, Savannah.

1959
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:48,440
Speaker 5: That is a good never step Man's.

1960
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 2: Up a good man.

1961
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 1: Even when I meet him, I'm like, how you doing,

1962
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 1: mister Graham, Like I'm trying.

1963
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:58,719
Speaker 5: It's not even Steven, it's miss It's just aw. He

1964
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:03,639
Speaker 5: earned it. You know, another person too. And I think also,

1965
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 5: this is professional homegirl, and I think as homegirls we

1966
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:12,080
Speaker 5: have to be honest, not just about how women are,

1967
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 5: but with men too. We have to allow men to

1968
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:19,599
Speaker 5: grow because there are some men like y'all don't slay

1969
01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 5: me when y'all watch this. Matthew knows now, granted we

1970
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:26,960
Speaker 5: know how he did. It was not the best, it

1971
01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 5: was not the best look. But he's now remarried. Yeah,

1972
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 5: he is happily married, and he has learned from his

1973
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:40,880
Speaker 5: mistakes that he made in the past to be able

1974
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 5: to man up to foster this relationship into something that

1975
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:47,639
Speaker 5: is sustainable and beautiful. In that work, so we also

1976
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 5: have to appreciate because we don't know how Steven was

1977
01:39:49,920 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 5: back in the day. He might have been wild, and he.

1978
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 2: Was married before child, so.

1979
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 5: He was we don't know much about. I don't know

1980
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 5: a lot about his pre his previous life, but he

1981
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 5: could have been doing a lot. But we have to

1982
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 5: also congratulate men in their evolution. I don't no matter

1983
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 5: what that evolution looks like, and not necessarily because sometimes

1984
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 5: you can never forget what somebody does, especially if they're celebrities,

1985
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 5: but you can acknowledge that those were mistakes that they

1986
01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 5: made and absolutely even that they're able to move on.

1987
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I think that's the beauty of just life,

1988
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 1: just being able to evolve, but also allowing people the

1989
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 1: grace to do it, because evolution don't happen in a.

1990
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,599
Speaker 2: Day, and the damn sure don't happen in a year.

1991
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: So I think you make a good point with Matthew Knows.

1992
01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: I think that, And then that's just the beauty of

1993
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 1: the professional homegirl. Like who I was when I started

1994
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 1: five years ago, is damn sure, who ain't who I

1995
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 1: am now? So I think that we should just give

1996
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 1: people the grace to.

1997
01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 5: Elevate who were you five years ago?

1998
01:40:54,600 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: I miss mess, just trying to figure it out, yad okay,

1999
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:08,880
Speaker 1: doing whatever it took for me to make sure I

2000
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:10,679
Speaker 1: got some food at my table and to make sure

2001
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 1: I am home safely. So you know, I feel like

2002
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 1: when I do these conversations, I literally see myself in

2003
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:20,120
Speaker 1: every single episode. And you know, I really do believe

2004
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 1: that I am a reflection of each of my guests,

2005
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:26,200
Speaker 1: and I am my sister's keeper, So I totally get,

2006
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:30,000
Speaker 1: totally understand what it feels like when your only decision

2007
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:31,879
Speaker 1: might not be your best decision.

2008
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:38,280
Speaker 5: And because Professional Homegirl is a camaraderie of women around

2009
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:42,280
Speaker 5: the world, how do you feel when you see situations,

2010
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:45,439
Speaker 5: especially in the media. And I can only say it

2011
01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:49,160
Speaker 5: like from like an alleged perspective and what we see,

2012
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 5: but when you see, especially like women rappers and women

2013
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:57,760
Speaker 5: entertainer entertainers, when and even not just maybe if it's

2014
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 5: not them directly, when you see the media hit them

2015
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:06,520
Speaker 5: against each other so fiercely that it it got so bad.

2016
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 5: Two humongous female rappers like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B

2017
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 5: coming to blows at an exclusive event. I mean this

2018
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 5: was years ago, but.

2019
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 2: At the loan event.

2020
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:22,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, internet beef got so crazy and we were able

2021
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 5: to pick two talented if that's who you're into. And

2022
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 5: I'm not picking sides, but too talented women against each

2023
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 5: other to the point that they were and we don't

2024
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 5: know what happened behind the scenes, but physical violence. We

2025
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 5: can't say that the Internet didn't help fuel it, and

2026
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,720
Speaker 5: it still, yeah, continues to go. So how do you

2027
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 5: feel when you see things like that?

2028
01:42:47,240 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 2: I don't like it, you know. I feel like.

2029
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 1: The way that society and yeah, society overall just pit

2030
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 1: women against each other. They don't do that with men,

2031
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:03,080
Speaker 1: and I think it's very unfortunate how sometimes women fall

2032
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: for it, and it just it never gets back to

2033
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:10,200
Speaker 1: a better place, whereas you know, men they can shoot

2034
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 1: each other up all day and they back cool like

2035
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:12,839
Speaker 1: nothing happens.

2036
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 2: So, you know, I think it's very I think it's unfortunate.

2037
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 2: I don't like it. You know, we don't know.

2038
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 1: Everything that goes on behind closed doors, but you know,

2039
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: I would like to see it. And I'm not saying

2040
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:27,600
Speaker 1: that everything always have to be coom bay y'all, this

2041
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:30,599
Speaker 1: and that, but I just want for women, especially women

2042
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: of color, like we're way much more stronger than numbers

2043
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 1: than we are by ourselves. And you know, I just

2044
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:39,599
Speaker 1: hate this sometimes we just fall for the okie dope

2045
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,240
Speaker 1: with this bullshit, like all this shit be distractions. Like

2046
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 1: I really do feel like it's a bigger scheme of things.

2047
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:47,080
Speaker 1: I feel like we be in a fucking matrix because

2048
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 1: some of the stuff I be seeing, I just be like, WHOA.

2049
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, like this cannot be real. So you know,

2050
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 1: do I want to see them in a good space.

2051
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 2: Of course, but you know, I just feel like it's

2052
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 2: the shit. Can't be that series? Yeah, but I will

2053
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 2: say if it is that series, let's just keep it

2054
01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 2: on music.

2055
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:08,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's keep it on music. And look, you know,

2056
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:12,760
Speaker 5: long gone other days where when you have beef it

2057
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 5: was expressed in rap in your bars. And I mean

2058
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:21,639
Speaker 5: granted in the past, we know East Coast, West Coast,

2059
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 5: there's a couple other prinkled in there that it had

2060
01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 5: escalated to something more. But I think that we're at

2061
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 5: a point now. You guys make so much money, We're

2062
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:33,439
Speaker 5: all out here trying to make a living. Nobody wants

2063
01:44:33,479 --> 01:44:37,719
Speaker 5: to lose their life over stupid stuff and just things

2064
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:39,960
Speaker 5: that really could be avoided. And I really feel like

2065
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 5: if the beef is that real, they need to have

2066
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,519
Speaker 5: a Women in general, we have to do better with

2067
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,680
Speaker 5: conflict resolution with each other. Yause, I went to an

2068
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 5: HBCU and even when I was in college, and this

2069
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 5: is a place where black minds and creatives and intellectuals

2070
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 5: are coming together. This is the future of the black culture,

2071
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 5: our black community. And we were getting it getting it

2072
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 5: in with each other in tuesling and arguing and fighting,

2073
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 5: and some people still not talking to each other years later.

2074
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 5: And we're just not always taught, especially as women no

2075
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:21,639
Speaker 5: matter your race, good conflict resolutions. We're taught to compete

2076
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 5: with each other. We're taught to drag another woman down

2077
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:30,800
Speaker 5: if you feel like she is somehow trying to level

2078
01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:34,879
Speaker 5: above you, and it really sucks. And the Professional Homegirl podcast,

2079
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 5: I think is a good ground zero where you foster

2080
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 5: a community for us to be ourselves, to talk it out.

2081
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:47,640
Speaker 5: You know, you know what you should your podcast. You

2082
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 5: should put some rivals on here and start talking it out.

2083
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 1: But all right, hold on, bitches, hold on, hold on,

2084
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 1: hold on.

2085
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, you need to put some rides. You need to

2086
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:59,120
Speaker 5: go light Mari lights. Not all the way there, but

2087
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 5: you should get some people that have some issues with

2088
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 5: each other and so women and really create a space

2089
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:07,599
Speaker 5: for them to iron this stuff out. Because the more

2090
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,679
Speaker 5: we can see and hear examples of how we can

2091
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:14,559
Speaker 5: get over even some of the craziest problems, Yeah, the

2092
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:18,959
Speaker 5: better I think will be. And you're already creating great spaces.

2093
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 5: But I'll take my ten percent when you start doing yes, yes.

2094
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 2: Yes, no, Steph.

2095
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 1: You know I have always said out loud to you,

2096
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 1: and I'm definitely say on the show like, even though

2097
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:30,479
Speaker 1: we have been knowing each other for a short period

2098
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:32,919
Speaker 1: of time, I feel like we are like kindred spirits

2099
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 1: and just speaking to you and just like you know,

2100
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:40,559

2102
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 1: appreciate you so much. I feel like when we talk,

2103
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm talking to my long gloss sister

2104
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 1: and you know, just your support. And it's so funny

2105
01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 1: because when you mentioned to me about the podcast being

2106
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:57,839
Speaker 1: a wellness podcast, it I never thought about the podcast

2107
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 1: like that. So just you even just showing me a

2108
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: different way of looking at my own brand has been

2109
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: truly empowering and enlightening. So thank you so much, Steph,

Speaker 5: same for me. You feed so much into me. Even though, y'all,

2113
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:20,720
Speaker 5: sometimes I don't be answering because I'll be traveling and

2114
01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 5: I don't.

2115
01:47:21,040 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 2: Be nice outside.

2116
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:26,120
Speaker 5: I'll be outside for real. But you know, but when

2117
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 5: we do talk, I try to make sure that I

2118
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:31,160

2125
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,960

Speaker 5: she talking to her shit, it's coming from a place

2132
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 5: of genuine care, love and concern and just of interest,

2133
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:22,840

Speaker 5: because I know I'm probably going over my time.

Speaker 2: Yes, so.

2161
01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:52,920
Speaker 1: Someone else asked this question, and I always say that

2162
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 1: I just want to live out the dream that God

2163
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 1: has for me. So, you know, I feel like God

2164
01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:02,160
Speaker 1: has shown me. He showed me what my life is

2165
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: going to already be just about me just trusting the process.

2166
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:08,360
Speaker 1: So I definitely want to have events, you know. I

2167
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,360

Speaker 2: Now, do you have any questions for me?

2219
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:28,120
Speaker 18: What has changed from the beginning until now with Professional

2220
01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:29,520
Speaker 18: Homegirl podcasts?

2221
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:33,760
Speaker 1: Ooh, I think everything, Like I think the foundation has

2222
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:35,920
Speaker 1: been the same. But like I think that from the

2223
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:39,360
Speaker 1: beginning to like even now, you can definitely see a

2224
01:52:39,479 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 1: change in me, like just the growth of me when

2225
01:52:42,880 --> 01:52:46,600
Speaker 1: it came to the podcast. I think the conversations, Like

2226
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, I really I feel like I really take

2227
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: my time with finding like different things that I know

2228
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,960
Speaker 1: people are not talking about, especially when it comes within

2229
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 1: our community. So I think, if anything, I don't even

2230
01:52:58,160 --> 01:52:59,719
Speaker 1: think it changed. I just think it got better.

2231
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:01,360
Speaker 5: Yeah that's cool.

2232
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:03,160

2233
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:03,639

01:53:18,240 --> 01:53:21,840

Speaker 2: Really oh my god, but you know what it is.

2249
01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 1: I think I mean because of the topic, like sexual

2250
01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:50,439
Speaker 1: abuse is so hush hush within our community and people

2251
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 1: don't really hear from a certain parent. So when people

2252
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:59,000
Speaker 1: heard your story, people were definitely like wow, like it

2253
01:53:59,040 --> 01:53:59,960

2256
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 18: was like, oh shit, you know wait, is that my boy?

2257
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:08,519
Speaker 5: Yeah right.

2258
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 18: I ain't say nothing though, you know, I ain't gonna

01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:14,559
Speaker 18: put myself out there like that, but yeah, I appreciate that.

2260
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 12: Thank you.

2261
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:16,960
Speaker 18: That that keeps me going. I know, even with my

2262
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:19,519
Speaker 18: own page. You know, I get kind of discouraged sometimes too,

2263
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:21,040
Speaker 18: but I just keep going.

2264
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:23,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, like, why did.

2265
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:26,599
Speaker 12: You How have you kept going for five years?

2266
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:28,759
Speaker 18: I know it must have been some twists and turns

2267
01:54:28,760 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 18: in there some type of way.

2268
01:54:30,240 --> 01:54:32,800
Speaker 1: I didn't wanted to quit almost every day because even

2269
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:34,520
Speaker 1: you know what it is when you're building a business,

2270
01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:36,920
Speaker 1: especially when you're doing too like a really high level,

2271
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:39,680
Speaker 1: Like it's a lot of fucking work, like and you

2272
01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 1: don't want to just put no trash out of anything,

2273
01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 1: but like it's a lot of work, like finding the

2274
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 1: information or preparing the conversation, making it feel organic, you know,

2275
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:51,839
Speaker 1: building that building that space where somebody.

2276
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:54,240
Speaker 2: Will trust you with their stories, and like, you know.

2277
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:57,120
Speaker 1: Being consistent, like being I think being consistent is the

2278
01:54:57,160 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 1: number one reason why I am where I'm at because

2279
01:54:59,840 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, dropping episodes every week is not easy, like

2280
01:55:03,080 --> 01:55:05,720
Speaker 1: oh that's the word, you know what I'm saying, and

2281
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:08,760
Speaker 1: then just being able to like, you know, I really

2282
01:55:08,760 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 1: do enjoy the conversations that I have, so it's not

2283
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:13,320
Speaker 1: hard for me to engage, but like just engaging, Like,

2284
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, I still have my nine to five that

2285
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm slowly transitioning out of. And you know, sometimes I

2286
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 1: be coming home, I've worked twelve hours at my job

2287
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:23,879
Speaker 1: and then I come home and I have to record,

2288
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 1: and that alone it's a couple of hours within itself.

2289
01:55:26,720 --> 01:55:29,560
Speaker 1: So you know, just doing the work itself has been.

2290
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 1: It's no joke, and I know I'm built for it,

2291
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:33,720
Speaker 1: but I'm also a human, you know.

2292
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 12: Look, that's really that's what it is.

2293
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 5: You're a human yeah, for real, for real.

2294
01:55:38,760 --> 01:55:41,600
Speaker 18: Yeah, well you shit, you work at twelve hours and

2295
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:44,000
Speaker 18: then coming home doing that shit. I probably smoke me

2296
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:44,760
