Speaker 1: I am exhausted. I got zero to no sleep last night.

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: I think I got about maybe an hour and a

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: half two hours of sleep. My aunt Phyllis and my

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: grandmom came up. My aunt Phyllis is my grandmother's younger sister,

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: and also my god mom came up to stay with

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: me because my aunt really wanted to go, like they

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: wanted to come and go to the Breakfast club and

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, see the ins and out to the show

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: in person and you know all that stuff. They came

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: up and it was, you know, it was a rough night.

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: My grandmother is dang near ninety years old, but you

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: would not be able to tell. She is very independent,

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: does her own thing all that stuff, right, But last

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: night she so she has like a weak heart. She's

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: had two stint surgeries already just within my lifetime. And

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: for those of you us who don't know what the

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: stint surgery is, a stint surgery is when they go

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: into your heart and they put something in there to

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: help the blood flow, to make it where like you're

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: able to breathe and your heart is operating or functioning

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: the way that it should be functioning. So my Grandmoma's

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: had that surgery twice. The last time she had it,

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I talk a lot about about it here on the podcast.

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Was that was, you know, the kind of like the

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: final thing that brought me back to the East coast. So,

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, when Diller with my mom's stuff and trying

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: to figure all that out, I was like, Okay, my

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: time left in la is winding down. It just was

36
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: getting to a point where I couldn't be across the

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: country while caring for my mom. And then my grandma

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: was you know, she's older, but she's they're both still

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: very independent. And then you know, her heart stuff. You know,

40
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: she went back through all that again and we found

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: out that it was a many heart attacks. So I'm like,

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: all right, Beck coming back. So to see her last

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: night because the difference between last night in the time

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, it's like in the twenty twenty two,

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three I think it was, Yeah, it was

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: more twenty twenty three, so it might have been like

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the first couple months of twenty twenty three. I've never

48
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: been with her when any of these episodes are happening.

49
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: So I got my grandmom and my mom. But my

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: mom just refuses to wear her. She just doesn't want to.

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: She's still going through that phase of like, no, this

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: is not happening to me. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: But my grandmother wears her ADYT Life Alert. She wears

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: it in a risk like almost like a watch, and

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: then she also has it on a necklace and also

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: on a key chain on her phone. So last time

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: this happened, I was alerted by ADYT. I'm her contacts

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: like in kids of any you know, emergency, and they

59
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: called him, was like, hey, she's having issues breathing. I

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: didn't hang up, and they send ambulance right to the house.

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: I didn't hang up call her. She could barely talk,

62
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: so I get her off the phone. But I just

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: had my mom, you know, get to the house, and

64
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: we got into the hospital. My drum in La. We

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: got to the hospital. They get to the hospital and

66
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: they do some checkups on her and they see that

67
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, they see the signs of

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: a small heart attack. Last night, she got up to

69
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: use the bathroom. And it's not even a big distance

70
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: between my living room and my bathroom, but she got

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: up to use the bathroom. And it was like late.

72
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: It was probably like one o'clock. So I'm sleep, my

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: aunt's sleep, We're all sleep aber in the house asleep.

74
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: She wakes up to go to the bathroom, and I

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: don't even know if she made it to the bathroom,

76
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I can't even remember that.

77
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: But she was calling my name, but she could barely

78
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: call my name, and I like, I woke up and

79
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: I hear her, and I'm like, what's happening? But I

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: thought she had just woke up and the TV wasn't on,

81
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: and you know, she's in dark. She's in my house,

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: and she wanted the TV on. So I'm getting up

83
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: and then I hear her breathing and I hear how

84
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: she can barely say my name. So I start freaking out.

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I wake my eye up calling like I'm trying to

86
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: call nine one one, but my Grandma's like begging me

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: not to. She's just like, no, I just need ask her.

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: So she's begged me to get to ask for. So

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I get asked for. She takes two of them. She's like,

90
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: I just need to sit and calm down, but she's

91
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: like holding her chest, and I'm like, oh my god,

92
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: what's happening right now? So even after she calmed down

93
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: and like all the things that you know came after that,

94
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: I still was like, what the heck is happening right now?

95
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: So I couldn't sleep, and so I think I got

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: about like a twenty minute nap after I left the

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: breakfast club this morning and I came here to the podcast.

98
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: But one of the things that I realized last night too,

99
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: is just physically, like her mobility is just not I

100
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like it's almost different than when

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: I just saw her at Christmas and at Thanksgiving, Like

102
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm back and forth home a lot more

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: now because I'm closer, and I feel like things have

104
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: like drastically changed just over like weeks Spain, right, So

105
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: that's scared. So I'm thinking about, you know, all these things.

106
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: There's stairs in her house, there's this, there's that she

107
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: can barely make it to my bedroom or my bathroom,

108
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 1: how she climbed stairs. And I'm just like, oh my God,

109
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I'm back in that space again

110
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: of where I was some years ago, where I was

111
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: trying to figure out because my first thought is like,

112
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: I wish she could just live with me, but I

113
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: know she doesn't want to just live with me because

114
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: her biggest thing is you work too much, You always move,

115
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: you always going. So just trying to figure that out. Yeah,

116
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: shouts of doctor Puma. He is a big heart, heart

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: doctor in New York. We talked about him a lot,

118
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, on the Breakfast Club because he does run

119
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, he does like different partnerships with Power one

120
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: of five one. But when I talked about, you know,

121
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: what I was going through my mom's insurance situation, which

122
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: we were able to figure out, he had reached out

123
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: and said, hey, I'll do whatever you know, free of coss.

124
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: My mom's doctors were also saying the same thing, so

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: we figured it out luckily. But I called him today

126
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: and was trying to get my grandma to go to him.

127
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: She would not go. But you know, all these thoughts

128
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: in my head are just like compounding right now, and

129
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is life like? The circle of life

130
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: is so insane. It's like you're young, you're a kid.

131
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Everything is great, everything's amazing, you don't know anything, you're

132
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: super optimistic. You start growing up, you start realizing stuff.

133
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: You go through bad times, you go through good times.

134
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm just you know, I'm at a

135
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: point now in life where like I'm literally living my dream.

136
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm able to enjoy things a lot differently. I'm able

137
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: to like, you know, help out like my family again,

138
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and like just all this stuff since quitting a job,

139
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, and like financially like things stopping and not

140
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: knowing where I would go career wise. After that, things

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: are really in a good space. Like I'm really like,

142
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I've really been blessed, but I started wondering today, Like

143
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: those blessings are amazing, But man, when I tell you,

144
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: they don't mean nothing when you sitting there watching your

145
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: grandmam trying to figure out if she can breathe or not,

146
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: and I just normally I can solve the problem with

147
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: this situation. I'm just like, even if she goes to doctors,

148
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: which I have to push her to do. I found

149
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: a really great black woman doctor in Delaware who's a

150
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: heart surgeon. She's like one of the best in the state.

151
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: Begging her to go there. I'll actually call her when

152
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: she leaves here. I'm like, I want her to go

153
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: today to the er, and then that doctor will go

154
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: and see her in the er. But even if that happens,

155
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: it's like, I mean, you just don't know, Like things

156
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: just happen so fast, and I just I don't know

157
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: what to do. It's like do you, like do you

158
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: stop living life? And like what I want to do

159
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: is is just like sit up under and watch her

160
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: all long and just make sure she's okay. But then

161
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta go to work. I got bills

162
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: to pay, Like what is the equal lip? Like what

163
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: is the middle point here? Like at this point in

164
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: life when your parents and your grandparents are getting older

165
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: and that circle of life is like like it's like

166
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: reverse now, like what do you do while you're balancing

167
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: everything else in life? So behind the scenes of the grind,

168
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm having a very real conversation with myself just about

169
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even think you can answer that question.

170
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I think you do everything

171
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: you can do until you can't do anymore. But you

172
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: want to solve a problem like that, Like if I

173
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: can solve any problem in my life today, answer any question,

174
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: get any details, you know, reach out on anything. Is that?

175
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: And you know, I was making calls on my way

176
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: here before I started working on what we're gonna talk

177
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: about today on the podcast, and I talked to doctor Puma,

178
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: I talked to here in New York, the heart doctor

179
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: here in New York, I call my girls, you know,

180
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: heart doctor, And I don't know, it still just feels

181
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: like you're not doing enough because it also she is

182
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: still an adult who makes her own decisions and she

183
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to the hospital. So I'm like

184
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: in the midst of like work but like also like life,

185
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: and I feel like I haven't felt like this since

186
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: it's probably been since my mom's cancer situation happened, where

187
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: I was like trying to figure out, like what is

188
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: that middle point and trying to get to that so

189
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: I can still work and be cool and like enjoy

190
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: my life. But also I feel guilty for not because

191
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: I started thinking, like dang, like what is it like

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: when she's home and she doesn't live by herself, but

193
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: like people aren't attentive to her as I would be,

194
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: or you know, and my brother is you know, not

195
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: too far from her, so you know, there's a conversation

196
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to have with him as well too, like

197
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: I gotta figure something out. I don't know, So anybody

198
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: out there that has dealt with this, I think being

199
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: a caretaker for the people that you love is just

200
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: it's such a it's such a mental battle because you

201
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: even your solutions don't feel like solutions because you really

202
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: just don't know. It's like this is like some it's

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: literally like a nightmare. Sometimes it's like you just there's

204
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: nothing you can do but just like wake up and

205
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: get out of it, and then evening you might slip

206
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: back into it depending on what happens the next day.

207
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: So of course I cracked about it already, and I

208
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like big and believing that like God,

209
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: God got things under control. But I have had a

210
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: very human day and a very human a lot of

211
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: human moments today where I'm like, oh, but like what

212
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, So we're gonna get on into the

213
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: latest I wanted to talk about.

214
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

215
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: I just saw the story and I just thought, because

216
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been having these caretaker conversations with

217
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: myself and in my head all day long, and I

218
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: saw that Mattel had just dropped A autistic barbie is

219
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: one of the first ever autistic barbies in this new doubt.

220
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: It's a part of their Fashionista collection. So this collection

221
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: is where they do dolls that have you know, different

222
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: thing like different hair texture, different skin color, body types,

223
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: health conditions. We talked about the diabetes the type one

224
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: diabetes barbie as well too here on the podcast as well.

225
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: They also have a down syndrome Barbie, a blindness barbie.

226
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: So it's a diverse and wide range of things that

227
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: these Fashionista barbies are representing in their existence. And now

228
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: there is an autism barbie. So Mattel worked with a

229
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: nonprofit called Autistic Self Advocacy. It's a network that is

230
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: designed to represent roughly one and thirty one children who

231
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: are diagnosed with autism by the age of eight in

232
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: the United States. In the United States, and Mattel worked

233
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: with this network. This organization to design the Barbie, And

234
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: when I first saw the headline, my first question was

235
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: how because everything with the Barbie is physical. The Barbie's on,

236
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: press the button and they make noises. It's all like

237
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: a physical representation of something. So my first thought was,

238
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: how do you physically represent in like autism, Like for me,

239
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that there are you know, various

240
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: features just in like physical features of a person, but

241
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Barbie also comes with like you know, there's various clothing

242
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: and there's there's just so much that Barbie comes with. So,

243
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, because we did the story in the type

244
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: one diabetes Barbie, I was wondering, like, what are they

245
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: going to like how do they do that? So this

246
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: Barbie carries a pink fidget spinner that actually spends, whereas

247
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: pink noise cancelation have phones to reduce sensory overload, which

248
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: is these are very common things amongst autistic people and children.

249
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: The barbie holds a pink tablet that represents an augmentative

250
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: alternative communication device. This is called the AAC, So the

251
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: AAC device, And you know what's so crazy? Every time

252
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: one of these new Barbies drop that represents something so

253
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: niche like you know, like this like autism Barbie or

254
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: a type one diabetes Barbie. Just in the research of

255
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: the reporting, I learned so much about what people's journeys

256
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: are like walking through the world differently in that way.

257
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: So I know people are I said it to say,

258
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: I know people are are so learning just from reading

259
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: the reports and hearing the reports on the news. So

260
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: the AAC device helps people with speech language problems communicate.

261
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: So the barbie also does have eyes that shift slightly

262
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: to the side, reflecting how some people autism avoid direct

263
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: eye contact. Now, as far as the barbie's close, the

264
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: barbie has a purple pinstriped dress that is purposely flowy.

265
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: They didn't go into detail of why the barbie's dress

266
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: was flowing, so of course it made me ask more questions,

267
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: and what I found out was that the dress is

268
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: loose fitting, it short sleeved, and a lot of people

269
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: that have sensory you know challenges, like autistic people prefer

270
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: flowy things, prefer you know a lot of like fabric

271
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: and things not touching their skin just because of the sensitivity.

272
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: So there's sensory processing differences and sometimes they even have

273
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: like their hyper sensitive to like tactile and various like

274
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: fabrics and textures and things of that nature. So everything

275
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: down from the Barbie's heads to the Barbie's tolls represents

276
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: what it is like to walk through life as a

277
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: person with autism, which goes beyond barbies as well too.

278
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Like I saw CNN as in an interview with a

279
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: young girl who also has autism, and you know, but

280
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: they were talking a bit about like how seen she

281
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: felt just because of the Barbie successories, like the headphones

282
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: are things that she wears often, the tablet she walks

283
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: around with as well too. But then in the scene

284
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: in article there was also mentioned of a thirty two

285
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: year old who also you know, found this barbie superher

286
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: helpful and encouraging. So the Barbie not just being for

287
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: younger children, but for you know, people who are grown

288
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: adults who also are caring for themselves through their autism journey.

289
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Now picking it up in some lighter news, Mary J.

290
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Blige just celebrated her fifty fifth birthday. Okay, Mary looks amazing.

344
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,760

00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: I just hope that I'm present as present as I

410
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: need to be for the people that I love, especially

411
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: in their older ages, so that they're not suffering or

412
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: going through anything alone. Because last night was so scary.

413
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: I can't imagine my grandmother being in her house more

414
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: immediately by herself, even there there's people in her house, She's

415
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: waking up in a room by herself, going through that. So,

416
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad we can't on a lighter note

417
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: Mary J. Blige, which you know Mary's music gets you

418
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: in your bag, but just to see her out there

419
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: doing her thing with the Vegas residency and how iconic

420
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: and amazing that it's going to be great news to hear.

421
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: This has been another episode of the Latest with Laura

422
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: La Rosa. I tell you, guys, every episode, you guys

423
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: could be anywhere with anybody, but you choose to be

424
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: right here with me, and I will tell y'all one

425
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: thing as we close out. Mary J. Blige is like,

426
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: there's always a list of people in my head that

427
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, if they never make another song again, if

428
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: they never step on another stage again, If Mary J.

429
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Blige decided to go with her new men and we

430
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: barely ever see her pinky, her toe, her eyelash ever again,

431
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even be upset at her. I think you work,

432
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: and this is what I've been battling with all day

433
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: in my mind, like with a with a career that

434
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: is so demanding, there's so much that I'm just I'm

435
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: praying that I'm just not missing and that I'm not

436
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, being unaware of or just leaving people to

437
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: figure out on their own who shouldn't have to figure

438
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: it out on their own when it comes to the

439
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: people I love. When do you get to that, like,

440
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: how do you know when you get to that point

441
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: where you're like, you know what, I could take a

442
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: step back a bit and just focus on my people.

443
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: Mary j. Oblige is definitely one of those people, in

444
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: my opinion, who has put in so much work where

445
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: she is there, and I don't even think it's about

446
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: her people. I think right now it's about her after

447
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: everything she's been through in the career, that the long

448
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: career that she's had. It's about ordering her. So I

449
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: hope after this this you know, Vegas residency, she gets

450
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: a little time to like, you know, sit still and

451
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: just enjoy the things that you know, Marria je Oblige

452
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: deserves enjoy a lot of times artists do Vegas residencies

453
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: as well because they get to sit still a little bit,

454
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: which is way less of a even though it's still

455
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: work and she Mary puts on the show, there's not

456
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: all a traveling that people are traveling to you, So

457
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: I hope that she gets a reprieve there. It's not

458
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: as many dates as we would typically see on like

459
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: a crazy tour as well too, So yeah, all right, y'all,

460
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: so for real this time we were heading out. Thank you
