But France has something to say in 313 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: that championship game, and it made people have to play. 314 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: So I don't bo mention shout out to the women's 315 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 2: national team, shout out to all of the Olympians that 316 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: won goal, but definitely wanted to shout out the Olympians. 317 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 3: All right. 318 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: So for me, number three on my list is election 319 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, And by this I don't just mean. 320 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: The results. 321 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: I think that everything that happened, from the assassination attempts 322 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: or whatever those were, to the failed assassination attempts, to 323 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: Joe Biden performing poorly, to literally being in my whole 324 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: hotel room during WNBA All Star in Phoenix and turning 325 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: on CNN to see that Biden had dropped out of 326 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: the race. 327 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: Comic how yes, what I mean? Then? 328 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: And then there were the moments where it was like 329 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: you know, Kamala I think ran a great, a great 330 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: campaign in terms of the timing that she had. She 331 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 2: raised millions of dollars within twenty four hours of her 332 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: accepting the official nomination of being of being the candidate. 333 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 3: Just the way that she was able. 334 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: To help put HBCUs and black women in Greek letter 335 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: organizations and just the rallying around her while also still 336 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: having to be VP. And yes, it was disheartening and 337 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 2: it was heartbreaking to see the actual outcome. But I 338 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: just think overall, and I won't forget that after the outcome, 339 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 2: black women realized their worth for real, for real and 340 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: was like, you know what we done. 341 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 3: Appreciate it. You know what we're about. We're about right 342 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 3: because they understand, they understand their power. We're done. 343 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: So I just think election twenty twenty four is just one. 344 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 2: And I typically remember most elections. 345 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 3: Because I try my best to participate. 346 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 2: In some way in the election cycle. But I got 347 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: a chance to meet Kamala Harris twice this year. Yeah, 348 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 2: and it's like those were moments that I'm never going 349 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: to forget. She came to Massachusetts and we met her 350 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: on the tarmac. She took pictures with us, and then 351 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: she came to my Sororities National Convention in Houston, Texas. 352 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 2: She did a speech, she shook hands, talked to people like, 353 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: even though the outcome wasn't what we wanted, just the 354 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: entire cycle was interesting. Getting to meet her was interesting, 355 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: And I think it's a moment that I won't. 356 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 3: Forget, without questioning, without a doubt. 357 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay on this one with you because it's. 358 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 3: Definitely on my list. 359 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: And I honestly debated on if I was gonna just 360 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: make that number one, because it easily could. 361 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 3: Be, and for me it was. 362 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: It wasn't just about the political candidates, right, Trump and 363 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: and Harris or Trump and Biden, but it was everything 364 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: Like it was so like I'm getting emotional just thinking 365 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: about it because I think, I think for me and 366 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: for so many of us, like our. 367 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 3: Hopes were just crushed. 368 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: And the excitement for me of having a black female 369 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: run for president was exciting, right, like something I didn't 370 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: think I would ever see in my lifetime.
