Speaker 3: Usually organic wine? Either it's either very organic. I literally
Speaker 3: never heard of organic.
Speaker 2: Again, I've never heard of organic wine.
Speaker 3: I don't even know the thing's granitic.
Speaker 2: And there's also natural wines. There's a different Ye, what's
Speaker 2: the difference. I forgot, she explained, got ahead of our
Speaker 2: So what are the other wines organic? GMO? Ye? Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're not all of them, they're not filtered. Some have
Speaker 2: fishing fish.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well here's the.
Speaker 3: Thing about fish. Why do they put fishing whites.
Speaker 7: It's like, so the process because then they say, if
Speaker 7: you get organic, it's got to be vegan. Because from
Speaker 7: what I'm learning, the like the filtrations, the system is
Speaker 7: like made of bone marrow.
Speaker 6: So the wine being filtered.
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sending love to all my Somalier homegirls out
Speaker 7: there that I know what they're talking about and home
Speaker 7: boys because I have no clue. But it's like that
Speaker 7: filtration process. Where as the grapes are being pressed, they
Speaker 7: go through certain like non vegan filters and so the
Speaker 7: soul fights.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting the process.
Speaker 2: So you gotta ask. I try to find those organic.
Speaker 3: Or biodynamic, biodynamic, vegan natural organic one.
Speaker 2: I mean, you got the Goverment's trying to kill us.
Speaker 2: So They're like, yeah, we can get them in the alcohol.
Speaker 2: We can get them in the panties. We can get
Speaker 2: the bras. I'm like to check the panties. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: gotta you.
Speaker 6: Gotta check it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, stretchy ass skims panties you're buying, bitch.
Speaker 2: Uh uh, I don't think skims organic.
Speaker 3: Also, for the men to the balls, we need the
Speaker 3: we need the jewel filled alix lix or filled jewels cotton. Yeah,
Speaker 3: apparently the balls are lost cause at this point, well,
Speaker 3: don't put your phone in my plastics have infiltrated all
Speaker 3: of our future kings.
Speaker 5: Well, think about think about how thin that skin is
Speaker 5: where the balls are. Think of how sensitive that skin is.
Speaker 5: It's probably easy to detox.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the the Internet that is reading our minds and
Speaker 5: also our conversations has been targeting me heavily about how
Speaker 5: to prepare your body for pregnancy.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, did I think it? Did I say?
Speaker 3: And now it's like you said, get in the car
Speaker 3: with me. So now it's for sure targeting.
Speaker 5: Other reels like send this to your man because he
Speaker 5: didn't prepare his body.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's too much.
Speaker 5: I like the fact that I really do believe the
Speaker 5: phone can't read your mind is definitely reading right, because.
Speaker 7: Earlier about herbs you can eat to prepare for herbs
Speaker 7: you can use to prepare for pregnant, and you were.
Speaker 2: Just thinking it you weren't even needing.
Speaker 3: Well, I think there just like I think just like
Speaker 3: any energy force, including man made technology, can attune to
Speaker 3: something like even as even as a reiki practitioner, like
Speaker 3: they talk we talk a lot about how taking reiki online,
Speaker 3: people like how do you do raky online? It's like
Speaker 3: the energy has a tune to the current state of
Speaker 3: where we're at in the world, and so I would
Speaker 3: I know, we talked about this on another episode, but
Speaker 3: I was actually thinking about this the other day when
Speaker 3: because you had mentioned this before and it seemed like
Speaker 3: like a like.
Speaker 2: It couldn't be true.
Speaker 3: But the more I think about it, I'm like, Oh,
Speaker 3: the technology, whether it's man made or not, it's still energy.
Speaker 3: It's still frequency and can definitely be attuned to whoever
Speaker 3: it's near.
Speaker 2: Well, there's electric amongnetic brain waves.
Speaker 5: Like where do you think the technology comes from?
Speaker 2: First?
Speaker 5: It comes from the example, which is us talk about it.
Speaker 5: You know, the energy is like where are you thinking
Speaker 5: they're replicating. Everything they replicate, even in medicine, is of
Speaker 5: something natural.
Speaker 6: I love when you talk.
Speaker 7: You'll talk like you like that because the last time
Speaker 7: I was here, you were talking about the science and
Speaker 7: the technology of the nipple.
Speaker 5: You know me, you know, medically, docturally, philosophically, what I
Speaker 5: think is true.
Speaker 2: Brother, No, but it's true I feel.
Speaker 5: And there's been times where I've literally just sought something
Speaker 5: and I know I haven't said it, and then it
Speaker 5: comes up and I'm like, you're fucking with me.
Speaker 2: Now now you're trying to fuck with me.
Speaker 7: So yeah, But didn't y'all see that one movie or
Speaker 7: was it a documentary about like people holding their phone
Speaker 7: and how they're constantly being surveiled and how there's these
Speaker 7: information data centers that are collecting your movements, how you
Speaker 7: bring your eyes when you feel sad, when you feel depressed,
Speaker 7: so they know what to sin you. It was like
Speaker 7: a real deep documentary. Because I can't handle.
Speaker 5: That right it is, no, Lizzie, I have not seen
Speaker 5: that documentary because I will already know and I'm already paranoid. Okay,
Speaker 5: got you, I'm already a conspiracy theorist. That's not conspiracy
Speaker 5: because it's the truth. And I can't watch that because
Speaker 5: then I'm gonna make my whole family. But you know
Speaker 5: they have those bags from Amazon. You drop all your
Speaker 5: shit in. I'm the person like we need to buy
Speaker 5: ten gallons of water and tide it into the friger
Speaker 5: Like I'm that bitch, And every six months I'm like,
Speaker 5: we're not prepared, and I'm still not prepared.
Speaker 2: Spoil the water. Boil the water if you have, if
Speaker 2: you have access right, boil the water. Flames. Speaking of flames,
Speaker 2: can I like this candle? Candle that bring it?
Speaker 7: Because my homegirl made this candle. Her name is Melanin
Speaker 7: d and she'd be pulling up to Zenn and cush.
Speaker 7: This is one of her original ones that I had
Speaker 7: that I had at the house. I was saving it
Speaker 7: for a good moment, and I'm like, what better good
Speaker 7: moment than good moms, And so I just wanted to
Speaker 7: just bless up the space. It smells so delightful. And
Speaker 7: you said flame and then oh yeah that you asked
Speaker 7: for a lighter earlier.
Speaker 2: So this one is for you. Thank you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, more love, more love, you know, I love when
Speaker 5: you come and bless us with things and gifts and
Speaker 5: you know you. My friend was saying something and I

Speaker 3: missed all the amazing episodes you've done with us.

Speaker 3: one last I think it was last year Uary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, last January. Oh you need the lighter?

Speaker 3: for the people that are new here to get a
Speaker 3: little taste of who is Lizzie Jeff, Right, what's the.

Speaker 7: That's a good question, especially because I feel like, at
Speaker 7: the root of it all, I'm me. But I'm always evolving,
Speaker 7: you know, I'm on a journey. And so to answer
Speaker 7: your question, Lizzie, Jeff, I mean, wow, I'm just you
Speaker 7: know me, I'm an artist, you know, a woman, you know,
Speaker 7: a philosopher, creative. You know, I'm sensual, I'm learning, I'm exploring.
Speaker 7: I'm multi dimensional. Af Some days I'm on my rachet shit.
Speaker 7: Some days I'm on my extravagance.
Speaker 6: Some days I'm reading a book.
Speaker 7: You know. Some days I'm topless on the beach, sunbathing,
Speaker 7: sipping a fresh coconut water that this handsome lad might
Speaker 7: have climbed up that tree and picked for me.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just every day is a new day.
Speaker 7: But at this point in my life, you know, I'm
Speaker 7: actually stepping into my fortieth It's potent, huh.
Speaker 2: But I'm stepping into my fortieth.
Speaker 7: This year, I'm stepping into the ten year anniversary of
Speaker 7: Zen and Cush, which is my brand, and so I
Speaker 7: feel like this year is a.
Speaker 6: Very monumental year.
Speaker 7: So between running a business which is in a cush
Speaker 7: my own record label and event series, you know, making
Speaker 7: the music.
Speaker 2: I love cooking. I told y'all that last time. I wait,
Speaker 2: wait next week, I need to pull up, come over.
Speaker 2: We know what we need to do. I just thought
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 5: We need to do a vegan cooking series and we
Speaker 5: need to do an as to our episode Eating the
Speaker 5: Vegan Food, Take me somewhere.
Speaker 3: I would love for you to expand more on what
Speaker 3: Zen and Cush is because I think it's so incredible
Speaker 3: what you've created there, and more women everywhere need to
Speaker 3: know about Zen and Cush. It's about time that we
Speaker 3: collaborate on h cush. I know we've been talking about
Speaker 3: it forever, but this I think this is the year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it has to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the year. Hello. Oh wait, we'll be
Speaker 2: in Jamaica. Oh yeah, mother's side.
Speaker 7: We're around in March, around in March. Yes, let's do
Speaker 7: something in March. Okay, I got some really special March fifteenth.
Speaker 7: Maybe we'll see in spring.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, that's you know, it's International Women's Month then,
Speaker 3: and our podcast was launched on International Women's Day March eighth,
Speaker 3: So we're nearing our eight years is big.
Speaker 2: Eight years. That is major we have over four hundred
Speaker 2: motherfucking episode.
Speaker 6: God is good.
Speaker 3: So if you're listening to this and you're like tenth, bitch,
Speaker 3: you got it. You got a lot of four hundred content.
Speaker 7: Not quite four hundred and twenty yet I think it's
Speaker 7: for twenty.
Speaker 2: I think we have like four hundred and something else.
Speaker 7: Okay, don't let this be the four hundred episode.
Speaker 2: That'd be perfect.
Speaker 7: But Zen and Cush. So basically, Zen and Cush is
Speaker 7: a vibe, it's a movement. It's uh, it's something that
Speaker 7: I created, you know, exactly ten years ago in my mind,
Speaker 7: and I was working in the cannabis industry. I was
Speaker 7: a bud tender, you know, I was doing my music.
Speaker 7: I was, you know, hosting QT events and sessions throughout
Speaker 7: the city. And I'm like, you know what it's time
Speaker 7: to like really put this all under one umbrella and
Speaker 7: give it a name, but also just create a space
Speaker 7: for us to enjoy the RB, to sip on some
Speaker 7: Damiana tea, to listen to some good music. Got a
Speaker 7: sexy saxophone player, you know, wearing a silk robe and
Speaker 7: some linger ryer, some fishnets with rose petals flying in
Speaker 7: the air. I'm like, we need that type of vibe
Speaker 7: that's just for us, you know, that's inspiring, that's creative,
Speaker 7: that talks about real shit, that highlights dope music and
Speaker 7: artists in the community, but like on the independent level,
Speaker 7: you know. And so I was sitting there, I was journaling,
Speaker 7: and I was thinking about like thee iconic, iconic movements,
Speaker 7: and the first thing that came to mind was Jen
Speaker 7: and Juice.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: It's like you think of Snoop, you think of Dre,
Speaker 7: you think of that era. I mean, Jen and Juice
Speaker 7: is a is a drink, but it's also a movement.
Speaker 7: It's also a cultural like moment era, a vibe I feel,
Speaker 7: so Zen and Cush just hit me, and so I'm like,
Speaker 7: that's it. And so Zen represents like, you know, that
Speaker 7: lifestyle that those practices that come with like having a
Speaker 7: balanced nervous system, that comes with that intention moving mindfully,
Speaker 7: you know, just rituals, practices infused with cush, you know,
Speaker 7: not just what we smoke on, not just that good good,
Speaker 7: not just what we you know, when we think of
Speaker 7: Snoop or with like it is deeper than that. It
Speaker 7: is when you think about the Great Lands of Kush,
Speaker 7: when you think about the great kings and queens that
Speaker 7: ruled the land of Cush. It's taking us all the
Speaker 7: way back to the motherland. It's bringing that ground inness,
Speaker 7: but it's bringing it right now. And so from that
Speaker 7: the events were born. I was able to perform my music.
Speaker 7: I was able to book other artists that I'm inspired by.
Speaker 7: Bringing the farmers in. But like the farmers that wasn't
Speaker 7: always represented at the standard bud tender cannabis events that
Speaker 7: was happening. You know, talk about real shit, talk about
Speaker 7: the people that's locked up because of cannabis being weaponized.
Speaker 7: You know, bring awareness and attention, bring equity, you know,
Speaker 7: bring justice, bring restoration. But make it sexy and be
Speaker 7: around elders, be around people that I really do this,
Speaker 7: that are really in the movement, revolutionaries, practitioners, alchemists, like
Speaker 7: people that make good food floor It's just I'm like,
Speaker 7: we need a place to like exist and thrive and
Speaker 7: look good while doing it.
Speaker 6: So Zenny Kush was born.
Speaker 7: Of course it has become something even far beyond what
Speaker 7: I imagine, but is everything you know that I was
Speaker 7: intentional about and more. And so to be here now
Speaker 7: ten years is like.
Speaker 6: I'm just really.
Speaker 7: Proud of myself and I'm proud of us. I'm proud
Speaker 7: of the community, the people that's been showing up, and
Speaker 7: I'm just feeling very thankful and I appreciate y'all. You know,
Speaker 7: y'all said this is the third time, Like, okay, they
Speaker 7: they fuck with your girl, y'all. So it's this is
Speaker 7: a good place to like, it's the top of the
Speaker 7: year to be even presenting it for the first time
Speaker 7: like that, letting people know, Okay, this is the ten year,
Speaker 7: like pull up all year we're doing beautiful, luxurious, organic experiences.
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of you. Thank you, thank you. Is
Speaker 2: it only for women? I'm so glad you asked me
Speaker 2: that this is some good that's you got the light.
Speaker 7: It's not about it's sparking it so many times. I'm
Speaker 7: so happy that you asked me that. Because it's giving feminine,
Speaker 7: it's giving woman forward, it's giving black girl greatness, is
Speaker 7: giving multicultural. It's given indigenous, it's given ass it's given hips,
Speaker 7: it's given breasts, it's given energy, is given you feel me, sisterhood.
Speaker 7: It's giving afroids, giving locks. It's just and so although
Speaker 7: it is very rooted in celebrating the feminine energy, just
Speaker 7: because I feel like as a society we don't.
Speaker 2: Do it enough.
Speaker 7: It's also a beautiful, safe, sensual place for the brothers
Speaker 7: to pull up to be part of to learn. You know,
Speaker 7: there's a lot of dope brothers over the years that
Speaker 7: I've worked with, you know, that have been part of
Speaker 7: the experience, including my own brother Slim Jeff, and you know,
Speaker 7: there's so many dope artists long drill, you know, tone
Speaker 7: like aj snow Nutty Sunrise, just so many dope artists
Speaker 7: that have come in that.
Speaker 6: Have shared their music.
Speaker 7: A lot of healers, massage, the therapists, you know, Honors
Speaker 7: yoga he does y'all got to y'all probably know Honors.
Speaker 2: Huh is Atlanta? Yes, that boy know what he's doing.
Speaker 3: Okay, I followed him and I was looking at his
Speaker 3: retreat I was looking into his retreats because he goes
Speaker 3: to Egypt a lot.
Speaker 7: Go Okay, that's what. And then when you decide to go,
Speaker 7: let me know because I might pull up on but
Speaker 7: that man, you know what he's doing. So you know,
Speaker 7: it's important to like have a space for the brothers
Speaker 7: that's doing the work to pull up and share their
Speaker 7: gifts too, but it's still woman forward. It's especially black
Speaker 7: woman melanated woman forward, because we need a space to
Speaker 7: grow and be in our freedom being, our sensuality, share
Speaker 7: our gifts, our artistry. But also the brothers need to
Speaker 7: see it. They need to be a part of it.
Speaker 7: They need to know learn how to respect it. They
Speaker 7: need to understand how to have reverence. And you know
Speaker 7: it is Yeah, it's that type of vibe. So it's
Speaker 7: it's open to everybody. Although we use keywords like tea
Speaker 7: and luxurious and sensual and enchanting and vegan plant based
Speaker 7: and delectable and damiana.
Speaker 6: Te and the like. Are we welcome and yes you.
Speaker 7: Are, brother It's like from our security and the DJs
Speaker 7: to the chefs, like you know, the men are a
Speaker 7: big part of Zen and cush as well. You know
Speaker 7: who if somebody got to help me carry the ship
Speaker 7: to the car unloaded.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. The goddesses need the guy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we do, we do. It's yeah.
Speaker 5: You know I was when when when you were talking,
Speaker 5: I was wondering the same thing, and then I was thinking, like,
Speaker 5: I know a lot of your your events are toptional
Speaker 5: and like you know, encouraged to dress centrally, and I
Speaker 5: was just like, you know, not every man can handle
Speaker 5: the exposure.
Speaker 2: That's what I was.
Speaker 3: I was thinking that, and I was thinking even the
Speaker 3: even the man that views himself as the divine. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think a lot of men most probably are like
Speaker 3: I'm gonna find masculine. But the ones that are really
Speaker 3: in the work and really in the process us of
Speaker 3: really stepping into that, I think even them, and this
Speaker 3: is not a fault to them, because men are just men,
Speaker 3: their visual creatures. They have to come into these spaces
Speaker 3: and test their their divinity. They need to like it
Speaker 3: needs to be in practice.
Speaker 2: They got to be checked. And this goes both ways.
Speaker 3: I believe that for the goddess as well, coming into
Speaker 3: a masculine space like sometimes we don't.
Speaker 2: Know how to act either, and okay, like we don't.
Speaker 3: So I think that as as the divine feminine and
Speaker 3: the divine mass and don't just show up ready and perfect.
Speaker 3: They actually have to enter into these spaces where their
Speaker 3: divinity is tested and they're able to learn and reassess.
Speaker 2: And apply, you know.
Speaker 3: So I'm curious, have you ever had you ever had
Speaker 3: a check? Have you ever had a check in driven
Speaker 3: because we have we had to check some niggas that
Speaker 3: are retreats.
Speaker 2: Okay, see you do, you do, you do.
Speaker 7: And there's been time where I've seen it myself. A
Speaker 7: man will come in looking so good, looking, so handsome,
Speaker 7: looking so ready, like, and then he'll stand there, he'll
Speaker 7: like take it in, and then he'll turn around and leave,
Speaker 7: never to be seen again.
Speaker 6: I've seen it. It's happened.
Speaker 5: But I appreciate that energy versus you're doing something.
Speaker 3: Oh thyself, brother, you ain't ready. Yeah, let me let
Speaker 3: me come back to this.
Speaker 2: And one of my go go, you go.
Speaker 3: And it's also interesting to see that men haven't really experienced,
Speaker 3: especially like a volume women who are like actualized in
Speaker 3: their sensuality. And I feel like enough so that sometimes
Speaker 3: like the wild woman, the central woman is intimidating. Even
Speaker 3: at the bachelorette party, I feel like one of the
Speaker 3: guy who didn't know us was like a little taken
Speaker 3: aback and like you're the performer, like you can't be scared.
Speaker 3: He's usually the well he yeah, but he's usually probably
Speaker 3: used to being the most fully expressed person in the room.
Speaker 3: So being in a room with a bunch of women
Speaker 3: that are like ready and open and free and like
Speaker 3: we've made agreements already. You heard the agreements, niggas he
Speaker 3: was there not a lot of times that's a lot
Speaker 3: for someone to take.
Speaker 5: On, especially the especially the man who has been set
Speaker 5: up in patriarchy, Like you haven't really been you men
Speaker 5: haven't really been conditioned to like to see that and
Speaker 5: to and to accept it and to like also see
Speaker 5: women who accept it about themselves and are Yeah.
Speaker 7: And it's not even for you, literally enjoying herself just
Speaker 7: because that's just who she is, naturally has nothing to do, and.
Speaker 2: She wore this outfit for herself because she was.
Speaker 7: Going to see you tonight, And that doesn't mean she's
Speaker 7: ready to fuck instantly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But there was a man once.
Speaker 7: He told me he left because within seconds of being there,
Speaker 7: one of the ladies came up to him with a
Speaker 7: crystal glass of organic strawberries drizzled and CBD and offered
Speaker 7: him one, and he just was like too overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: He had to leave.
Speaker 7: It never came back, And it was just like, that's
Speaker 7: so funny because people sometimes think, oh, Zen and Cush
Speaker 7: is a orgy or like just because it's lingerie friendly
Speaker 7: or toptional people have these interesting viewpoints of it until
Speaker 7: they get there and they're like, oh.
Speaker 6: This is actually just a fucking vibe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what I mean, especially in certain cities
Speaker 7: like now that I've you know, we started off in that.
Speaker 2: I take us on a journey.
Speaker 7: Girl. Thank you for asking, because I actually just got
Speaker 7: back to la not even a week ago from New York.
Speaker 7: But that was the tail end of what was a
Speaker 7: six month journey. Yeah, since we're really a nine month
Speaker 7: journey since Zen and Cush for twenty last year. But anyways,
Speaker 7: I went to Atlanta, New Orleans. I was actually based
Speaker 7: in New Orleans for six months. That's where I grew up,
Speaker 7: so I go back often. But this is the longest
Speaker 7: I had stayed since I lived there as a kid,
Speaker 7: and so that was really nice to be based in
Speaker 7: New Orleans. But I had shows in Houston, Atlanta, North Carolina.
Speaker 2: I went up to d C, New York.
Speaker 7: You know, it was a vibe just living that life,
Speaker 7: like that that Auntie, that rich Auntie life. But also
Speaker 7: I'm a real independent artist out here just doing it.
Speaker 7: And so I'm back, you know, I'm back on the

Speaker 7: A to official black woman own dispensaries, making history every
Speaker 7: single day just by existing, making plays, being intentional, leading

Speaker 7: the community, for the whole cannabis industry. I really fun
Speaker 7: with them, They really respect y'all introduced me to them,
Speaker 7: and ever since it's been up Robin.
Speaker 3: I met Robin so randomly through one of my best friends, Jared,
Speaker 3: who lives in Germany.
Speaker 2: She she I think they served tables together.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Robin, yes, like you said, has taken over
Speaker 3: the cannas industry. Then she came on one of our
Speaker 3: retreats with her mom, who I don't know if you've
Speaker 3: met her mom.
Speaker 2: Her mom is equally lit, actually more lit. Wait, she
Speaker 2: actually invited me to Robin's birthday. Was actually like like
Speaker 2: a week ago. She invited me to.
Speaker 3: A karaoke a karaoke party, and I couldn't help but
Speaker 3: think of her mom, because her mom was always like baby,
Speaker 3: say say to you no, just.
Speaker 2: Like anytime it was someone's birthday.
Speaker 5: It was as a retreat, she was like she's about
Speaker 5: she didn't get too drunk. She should ever sing now.
Speaker 2: Like she's her manager.
Speaker 3: She was like, oh, it's her birthday, No problem, Robin's
Speaker 3: gonna sing Happy birthday to you.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I smoked her.
Speaker 7: Okay, so you're it's a dope sugar, La to pick
Speaker 7: up the Lizen shirt mystical cush pre roll.
Speaker 2: I sure did.
Speaker 3: They also carried them on choices, sweatshirts. Okay, I've seen it.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, like, they really do put on
Speaker 3: for I think she really does put on for her
Speaker 3: friends and people in.
Speaker 2: La shout out to her other black women.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a showering rose petals next time I
Speaker 7: see her. And I'm gonna be here for four twenty,
Speaker 7: so let's do something really special, dope, sugar, I love y'all.
Speaker 2: That's all right, I mean to drub you. No, we'll
Speaker 2: oh yeah, this will pull out the mystical curve.
Speaker 7: So this is a gift for y'all, like for later,
Speaker 7: because unless you was, we might as well just think
Speaker 7: your love.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: So there's one for us now and one for later.
Speaker 6: You see what I do there?
Speaker 2: Maybe half for now. A couple of times like.
Speaker 6: This A Puff.
Speaker 7: But this is the Mystical Cush that you just told
Speaker 7: the story about, and you know what, I do think
Speaker 7: it's important to share because I've been in the industry
Speaker 7: for almost ten years and I'm gonna tell you, like
Speaker 7: just wanting to be a part of the legal mark,
Speaker 7: it's a process, it's a journey.
Speaker 2: You gotta put work in.
Speaker 7: It's about it's about diligence, it's about making shit happen
Speaker 7: because it's not easy. And so this whole experience is
Speaker 7: really ten years into making because I originally dropped the
Speaker 7: Lizzie's Love but a few years ago and four twenty
Speaker 7: at a woman owned dispensary in LA And then when
Speaker 7: I came back, we did the Mystical Cush pre rolls
Speaker 7: at a black woman owned dispensary in LA at two
Speaker 7: matter of fact, and twelve shops in a excuse me
Speaker 7: in the Bay Area. So this was the first time
Speaker 7: shout out to my homegirl, Camille Sophia. She's the lead
Speaker 7: singer of a twelve piece I'm pretty sure it's a
Speaker 7: twelve piece like funk funk band, Okay, and she's the
Speaker 7: only woman wow, And anyway.
Speaker 6: She's a dope artist.
Speaker 7: We go way back in the cannabis industry, and we
Speaker 7: both used to work for a pre roll company, and
Speaker 7: she took the northern California region. I took the southern
Speaker 7: California region, and we just took that pre roll company
Speaker 7: to a whole new level on both coats. And we realize,
Speaker 7: you know what, we're undervalued and underappreciated, So let's do
Speaker 7: our own shit. And one day we're gonna really do
Speaker 7: our own shit together. So she went and built a family.
Speaker 7: I was still building those in a cush and then
Speaker 7: we came together for the Mystical Cush. She brought me
Speaker 7: and SF Roots together. That's a black owned equity company
Speaker 7: in the Bay Area. They make sure black people are
Speaker 7: getting equity in the industry. She actually created this design,
Speaker 7: so she told me to tell her all my keywords.
Speaker 7: So I told her, you know, luxury, Pearls, you know Africa, Motherland,
Speaker 7: indigenous gold, you feel me, medicine, plant earth, and she
Speaker 7: put it together. And so she actually designed the label.
Speaker 7: And then right here that QR code lead you to
Speaker 7: the album that I had dropped when these first dropped.
Speaker 7: You know, my new album is on the way, Cush
Speaker 7: Love and Domiana it's an EP that's coming soon.
Speaker 2: But that's what this was about. And it was the
Speaker 2: first time that they.
Speaker 7: Had done something like this and the dispensary with the
Speaker 7: music and the herb, you know, being together, and it's
Speaker 7: two pre rolls in one pack.
Speaker 2: Right, it's an experience.
Speaker 7: And it's black women, black on cultivation, the printing, the design, everything.
Speaker 7: So I was really proud, just and blessed to be
Speaker 7: a part of that Dope opportunity and to collaborate with
Speaker 7: both Dope Sugar locations. So that's this one.
Speaker 2: This is beautiful. Thank you, thank thank you for blessings.
Speaker 2: I appreciate y'all for let me speak on that.
Speaker 3: Speaking of blessings, I was curious listening if you don't
Speaker 3: have an affirmation for the.
Speaker 2: Try, I love that. Thank you. It feels like a
Speaker 2: beautiful time, you know what.
Speaker 7: Especially before I sparked this one. HM, I am activated,
Speaker 7: I am recharged and fully restored. I am at peace.
Speaker 7: My nervous system is balanced. I'm eating good, I'm feeling good,
Speaker 7: I'm breathing good, I'm relaxing.
Speaker 6: I'm taking breaks.
Speaker 7: I rest when I want to and when I feel
Speaker 7: like it, because I know that when I rest that
Speaker 7: in itself is a radical revolutionary act. My existence in
Speaker 7: itself is revolutionary, So why not take a fucking break.
Speaker 6: Sometimes.
Speaker 7: I am peaceful, I am sensual, I am soft, I
Speaker 7: am feminine. I am a bad bitch, I am a warrior.
Speaker 7: But I understand the balance of living my soft life
Speaker 7: and allowing the universe to bless me with all of
Speaker 7: my deepest desires. Mm hm, I am activated, shad.
Speaker 3: Shame activated activated.
Speaker 2: I need all that. I need to call all that
Speaker 2: in what activates you? Lizzie? In this era of Lizzie, Jeff, you'll.

Speaker 2: What activates me? Sisterhood?
Speaker 6: And I need to text my sister Amina.
Speaker 3: I love you. You know, I'll be seeing our kids
Speaker 3: go to school together. That is so I've seeing a
Speaker 3: little like another version of Lizzie. I'm like that is

Speaker 4: I like.
Speaker 2: Her. Let me let me not have been in a
Speaker 2: republic her. It's Sarah.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get my private school education processed.

Speaker 7: to my sister. I love her so much. That's my
Speaker 7: big sister. That girl didn't really like ooh she she
Speaker 7: didn't kick some doors in, she didn't been through it.
Speaker 7: She's so powerful, like so resilient, just bold, brave, brilliant, brilliant,
Speaker 7: remarkable woman who just like got the biggest heart, the
Speaker 7: kindest heart, beautiful mother and wife and just her husband,
Speaker 7: like the fact that she holds him. They chose each other.
Speaker 7: It's just it's really it's powerful. It's powerful, revolutionary black woman,
Speaker 7: just an iconic woman who I love so much and
Speaker 7: I'm so thankful for. So I'm so happy. And I
Speaker 7: did text you Amena about a spot date, So hit
Speaker 7: me backgirl, Let's go to the spot you real be
Speaker 7: in any way. So I'm glad you know her too.
Speaker 7: That's super cute. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she runs the black group, the Black parent group.
Speaker 3: She was getting gathering us together all the blacks need
Speaker 3: to raise.
Speaker 2: Money for black children. Yeah, she's good. We're having our
Speaker 2: own black nutcracker to white parents, put something together, you know,
Speaker 2: and it's always and it's always wonderful.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I love that you said that, and I'm glad.
Speaker 7: That's the first thing I said. That's what activates me,
Speaker 7: you know, that sisterhood, being inspired by the women around me, cannabis,
Speaker 7: you know, like taking luxurious bad as, you know, just
Speaker 7: taking deep breaths, like if I just take a second.
Speaker 2: Mm no, that's I'm ready. But life just being here
Speaker 2: being a black woman at this time? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: Are y' all kidding me? Not going on at this time?
Speaker 7: I feel like, Okay, we I think we did choose this,
Speaker 7: and like we're showing up like we write on time
Speaker 7: in our ministries. And so I'm I'm just inspired af
Speaker 7: you know, the new album this is E and k
Speaker 7: ten that girl gonna be the big forty.
Speaker 2: That's big. I can't even know what does forty mean
Speaker 2: to me? Let me take a ship, take a sip.
Speaker 3: I'm just curious because I'm nearing I'll be nearing there
Speaker 3: soon enough. And and like if I for me personally,
Speaker 3: like my age, I've let it haunt me at times,
Speaker 3: but for the most part, I kind of let it roll,
Speaker 3: just roll off my back. You know. I just like
Speaker 3: I am the age that I feel that I am,
Speaker 3: you know, instead of like I am that age right, which.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I am sometimes bitch.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm one hundred and four years old, okay, and
Speaker 3: sometimes I'm twenty one yeah.
Speaker 2: Then sometimes I'm seven yeah in that, and then sometimes
Speaker 2: I'm in my thirties exactly. It just depends. It's all okay,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: And so I'm just always curious people's relationship with age
Speaker 3: because I feel like, you know, when we're in our twenties,
Speaker 3: our thirties feels like the year like those are the
Speaker 3: years like we we finally get our shit together, like
Speaker 3: we're supposed to have.
Speaker 2: It all together.
Speaker 3: And then the gag is that you get to your
Speaker 3: thirties and you be like, damn, nobody got their shit together.
Speaker 2: They're all figuring it out.
Speaker 3: And you get to your forties and there's like it
Speaker 3: seems like there's a sort of surrender, but there is
Speaker 3: sort of still like this underlining of.
Speaker 2: Like then you really get your shit together.
Speaker 3: There's still like that. I feel like there's still that
Speaker 3: energy there, but then probably I'm going to get there
Speaker 3: and be like, oh no. And then the gag is
Speaker 3: that in life, like we're just constantly in process.
Speaker 2: In process.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is no like destiny, no final destination.
Speaker 2: You have to find.
Speaker 5: Peace and happiness exactly where you're at. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 5: was thinking that too, first time high, let's at this
Speaker 5: moment we needed there. But I was just thinking about,
Speaker 5: uh wait, we were talking about age eight, and you
Speaker 5: were talking about earlier how you grew up in New
Speaker 5: Orleans and this is the longest time you've been back
Speaker 5: as an adult.
Speaker 2: And one time I was high.
Speaker 5: I think I was talking to Orlando and I was high,
Speaker 5: and I was like, you know what talking about how
Speaker 5: people always think about like growth and a linear like
Speaker 5: a linear space, and I was like, we really need
Speaker 5: to think about it like a map. So like sometimes
Speaker 5: you'll go back to Pennsylvania twice. Sometimes you need that
Speaker 5: lesson twice Connecticut. You may not ever go back to
Speaker 5: fucking but like it's this like and then sometimes you
Speaker 5: need to journey back to New Orleans to see, like
Speaker 5: what was I doing as a kid, because there's something there,
Speaker 5: Like there's something open there that I still need to
Speaker 5: dig into. But like this relationship is like age and
Speaker 5: where we're supposed to be an expectation. It's like like
Speaker 5: we're there's still like the mind of the I mean
Speaker 5: the developed baby, but like there's this expectation. And that's
Speaker 5: what like breads a lot of anxiety, you know for me,
Speaker 5: like this expectation or like you've had some success and
Speaker 5: I had more success, and then you have to have
Speaker 5: this and like and like and like we talked about
Speaker 5: last week, like your identity to certain things, a certain
Speaker 5: like even as I'm like getting married and I just
Speaker 5: keep saying it out loud because I'm like, damn, I'm married.
Speaker 5: Like I'm married. We were like in bed, like you're
Speaker 5: my husband. But it's like, you know, like maybe because
Speaker 5: I didn't really expect.
Speaker 2: It to happen. Now I'm now I'm relating age. Now
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, bitch, what did you think it was
Speaker 2: gonna happen? Like or like you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Remember when we had to practicing boyfriends, Like I have
Speaker 2: a boys maybe keep practicing the hut.
Speaker 3: That was hard for you to do, Yeah, because we
Speaker 3: were so we were just not we were not looking
Speaker 3: for relationship girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I had a fiance from before that, so having a
Speaker 3: boyfriend was like I had to go back to that world.
Speaker 3: And also I was just I was just I had
Speaker 3: shed so much skin. I was in a new space,
Speaker 3: but I was gonna say something you.
Speaker 7: Were going to say something you were talking about, Hi,
Speaker 7: It's gonna come back for you.
Speaker 2: Like that the journey is not linear.
Speaker 3: What I was saying when you were talking about that,
Speaker 3: I was also thinking about how so much of it, too,
Speaker 3: for for women especially, is about our bodies, because like
Speaker 3: when we're young, we're like, oh, our bodies are always monitored.
Speaker 2: Our bodies are always monitored throughout history. Right when we're young,
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, my god, start a period, she's a
Speaker 2: spring chicken. Okay, now oh she's entering her whole face.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: Then it's like thirties like, oh, now she's gonna start
Speaker 2: making babies. The womb is for the baby. Where the baby?
Speaker 2: And then the forties like, oh sh she ain't gonna
Speaker 2: make no babies. Oh my god, way is that a
Speaker 2: great hair?
Speaker 3: It's I just feel like we are such in like
Speaker 3: not just aware of just the aging process of like
Speaker 3: oh time is moving and like a success, but also
Speaker 3: there's a physical experience that we as women deal with
Speaker 3: that adds to that stress that I think a lot
Speaker 3: of I think most people don't consider, not even women
Speaker 3: that like why am I so stressed about my age?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 3: And so there's like a there's a loving that has
Speaker 3: to happen in your body too for you to feel
Speaker 3: safe in aging. I think as a woman, maybe not
Speaker 3: all women, but I would say like, because we're there's
Speaker 3: so many layers to heart to what it means to
Speaker 3: age as a woman that I think men don't have
Speaker 3: to experience.
Speaker 2: That's true, that's real.
Speaker 3: So that was my That's why I was curious, Like,
Speaker 3: what is your relationship with just aging, Not that you're aging,
Speaker 3: your beautiful queen, but just like.
Speaker 2: Moving forward in your in your age and your number
Speaker 2: and your journey. Right, y'all are just so beautiful and brilliant.
Speaker 7: I love your mindsets and I really love the conversation
Speaker 7: we always have and just you say some real shit.
Speaker 7: I like how you put it in perspective with the map,
Speaker 7: and I like.
Speaker 6: Everything you see that it's beautiful. Yeah, and these conversations
Speaker 6: are important.
Speaker 2: And I mean, shit.
Speaker 7: Forty, I mean it's like, wold, girl, you really made
Speaker 7: it this far. And there's been a lot of self reflection.
Speaker 2: It's been a lot of.
Speaker 7: You know, just celebrating, like certain accomplishments that maybe I
Speaker 7: just might have overlooked or didn't spend enough time, you know,
Speaker 7: just taking more time in between not giving a fuck
Speaker 7: saying no, this is my rate and this is what
Speaker 7: I'm standing on, you know, just doing me and just
Speaker 7: being intentional about me. Because you mentioned the physical evolution
Speaker 7: of it all, I mean, yeah, that's why it just
Speaker 7: really be driving me when I see how little reverence
Speaker 7: society has for women, especially Black women, with all of
Speaker 7: the just multi dimensional like spiritual things that were constantly
Speaker 7: like moving through.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean, like constantly.
Speaker 7: And just coming out still looking good, still fucking it up,
Speaker 7: still getting to the bag, still building families and empires.
Speaker 7: You feel me, still showing up beautifully as the number
Speaker 7: one inspiration for the entire plan it.
Speaker 2: Speak on Speak on It.
Speaker 7: I say all of that to say, I'm just at
Speaker 7: a place now where you know, all these things are
Speaker 7: coming like becoming more clear in regards to do I
Speaker 7: really want to work this hard? Do I really want
Speaker 7: to be this much of my masculine energy? Do you know?
Speaker 7: Like how many motherfucking cities and airplanes and luggages?
Speaker 2: Do I got a path? Like you know, like.
Speaker 7: You just come to that and then you're like, you know,
Speaker 7: I am contemplating motherhood. That's something I've said your song, yeah,
Speaker 7: and so I'm a woman, I'm I'm like, I'm like, dang, girl,
Speaker 7: you really was locked in on your career. Wow, look
Speaker 7: at what you've built. It's a movement. You could go
Speaker 7: to any city and it's a vibe is up, like wow, community, femininity, balance, feeling, health,
Speaker 7: holistic like whoa. But at the same time, like you know,
Speaker 7: Zen and Cush is ten, So what does it look
Speaker 7: like at twenty? You feel me? And so it's just
Speaker 7: all these questions. More journaling, more meditation. I've been in
Speaker 7: the studio, you know, working on the next album, and
Speaker 7: it's definitely much deeper, much more introspective, much less fucks given,
Speaker 7: you know, more pilates classes, my Homegirl, shout out Aquadeva,
Speaker 7: shout out Pretty Girl's Pole two black Woman Dancer, Goddess
Speaker 7: Pole Goddesses in La.
Speaker 2: Running it up, running up the bag.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna just be taking my classes, you know, just
Speaker 7: leaning more into embodiment, just being becoming more comfortable in
Speaker 7: my body and my feminine energy, just like exploring that
Speaker 7: because for me, that's where the magic is, that's where
Speaker 7: the bag is, that's where the money is, that's.
Speaker 6: Where the health is.
Speaker 7: That's where the opportunities are. That's where everything like peace
Speaker 7: and healing in my family is. Like that's just where
Speaker 7: it is. And like, so health is a priority. Maybe
Speaker 7: this is answering your question. Maybe it's not.
Speaker 2: It is, but that's just where I'm at. You feel me.
Speaker 7: I'm just on some Lizzie four point zero. Like I've
Speaker 7: been feeling that way great, Yeah, like a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been feeling Yeah, Like the somatic healing needs
Speaker 5: to happen. Like you can do so much logical analyzing
Speaker 5: and thinking, but on the cellular level, if the trauma
Speaker 5: or whatever it is is living in your body, it
Speaker 5: doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: You have to like move it out.
Speaker 6: That's deep.
Speaker 7: Move it out, Okay, And then let me say this,
Speaker 7: because you made me think it is. I want to
Speaker 7: shout out my homegirl with my girl, Sharan Sharon Nicole.
Speaker 7: She in the Bay, not far from Napa Valley. But
Speaker 7: when I tell you, she gives the most unbelievably mind
Speaker 7: blowing scalp massages, herbal rinses.
Speaker 6: She's a natural hairstylist, and she just it's like a
Speaker 6: birthday gift to yourself.
Speaker 7: The herbs is natural and my homegirl in Atlanta, Gabrielle Gabby.
Speaker 7: She has a hair company called in Love. But you
Speaker 7: know how we look at a lot of these hair
Speaker 7: products on the shelves. Her packaging is just as beautiful
Speaker 7: and as black woman owned. And so I say that
Speaker 7: I think about those women because the power of loving
Speaker 7: on our hair, the power of massage and body work
Speaker 7: and releasing tension. We overthink shit. We're constantly like coloring
Speaker 7: our hair or doing different things, cutting it, sleeping on it,
Speaker 7: falling asleep without the scarf, like you feel me like,
Speaker 7: And so that's an important ritual and that's something that
Speaker 7: I'm getting back more into just loving my natural hair
Speaker 7: more and allowing my sisters that are like gifted in
Speaker 7: that department to bless me, to activate me, to like
Speaker 7: make that time. So I've just been leaning more into
Speaker 7: my homegirls that do massage, that do reiki, the pole dancing,
Speaker 7: Like we have a community of women and brothers that
Speaker 7: are doing this work. And so yeah, that's that's what
Speaker 7: forty is for me, just like allowing myself to like
Speaker 7: kind of fall back and surrender into the love, into
Speaker 7: the healing, into everything that I've been cultivating for the
Speaker 7: last ten years, for the last twenty years and everything
Speaker 7: that I've been pouring into the people, just allowing it
Speaker 7: to kind.
Speaker 2: Of follow on you bless you. Yeah, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, well, happy almost birthday.
Speaker 2: It's not until July, very end of July.
Speaker 6: I'm a Leah.
Speaker 2: I love Aleah. Y'all celebrate already is January.
Speaker 3: My birthday is coming, guys, just the case I need
Speaker 3: to let you know the way.
Speaker 2: But it shut out to at least turning forty. It's like, no,
Speaker 2: I was on three as.
Speaker 3: It's a whole like movement because like, yeah, you have
Speaker 3: all year to reflect on it too, Like it's just
Speaker 3: like after how you want to feel. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 3: it's a pivotal Maybe that's what I need to do
Speaker 3: more of because you know, I get so anxious around
Speaker 3: my birthday. I turn into like a fucking psychopath. Maybe
Speaker 3: I need to start thinking about my birthday earlier so
Speaker 3: that when it comes it's not so overwhelming because you
Speaker 3: start processing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the process this.
Speaker 7: Year now it's more vital than you right, you know,
Speaker 7: your celebration of life, because like look around, there's a
Speaker 7: lot going on out here, and so it's like, yeah,
Speaker 7: we let's take advantage of these opportunities to celebrate our lives,
Speaker 7: celebrate the small winds, but also like your birthday, like
Speaker 7: that's deserving of a little bit more time, a little
Speaker 7: bit more plan and execution and running it out.
Speaker 2: This is a great high thought. This is the weed
Speaker 2: spoke to me. Thank you looking for early. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be better. You're gonna like it more. You're not

Speaker 7: so what's next? And yeah, love, like I'm open to it.
Speaker 7: I'm I'm not currently in a serious situation. I may
Speaker 7: have been in the past, but right now I'm just
Speaker 7: I've been on a journey.
Speaker 6: I've just been like exploring.
Speaker 7: Me more, just seeing what I like, you feel me,
Speaker 7: seeing what kind of things I love, how I.
Speaker 2: Want to be treated.
Speaker 6: So I can get very clear in.
Speaker 2: That you have a physical type.
Speaker 7: But it's okay, a physical type. You know what I
Speaker 7: like my strong I like my strong brothers.
Speaker 2: What white man not the drink.
Speaker 3: European, not of America white.
Speaker 2: You're recking, Lizzie Blush. I want to know you know
Speaker 2: what my.
Speaker 6: Type is, the strong brother.
Speaker 2: Black? Revolutionary.
Speaker 3: Wait, speaking of revolutionary, have y'all seen Battle after Battle?
Speaker 2: Bad? One battle after another? No, finally watched the other night.
Speaker 3: Sorry, evolutionists, that's why.
Speaker 2: We watched Battle after Battle. Yeah, with Tianna Taylor. She's
Speaker 2: not mad for an Oscar to any Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah,
Speaker 2: amazing channels it on I think I watched it on.
Speaker 3: That Amazon. I bought it on Amazon. But anyway, sorry,
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to know. I was just thinking. I
Speaker 3: was just thinking about revolutionary and because she was a
Speaker 3: black woman dating Leonardo DiCaprio, who was this like abolitionist
Speaker 3: and just like down for the cause. Like he was
Speaker 3: a white man down for the cause. So are we
Speaker 3: dating white men down for the cause?
Speaker 2: Is that is he considered a brother?
Speaker 6: You are such a good question.
Speaker 2: As weltrator, we always need one Leonardo.
Speaker 3: I mean not because Leonardo is very disappointing at this
Speaker 3: point in the world. I thought he was for the
Speaker 3: environment and the people, but actually he's for Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 2: Really, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Leonardo is like hanging out with Jeff Bezos all the
Speaker 3: time on his boats and ship, and he was like
Speaker 3: he was like an environmentalist. He was like his whole
Speaker 3: young life isn't just all fake.
Speaker 5: He's infiltrating consciousness.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping no, he's drunk and hanging out with models.
Speaker 3: That's deep, that's deep his faces. Leonard, I love him,
Speaker 3: was environmentalist. He was even in that movie recently that
Speaker 3: was about the government being stupid.
Speaker 2: This movie right now is about that the government being stupid.
Speaker 2: So he's inflictating guys. He's just trying to get into
Speaker 2: Bezos mind. I like the Yin Yang. There was some
Speaker 2: weird ship going on. I mean not weird ship.
Speaker 3: There was like this like the under like the good
Speaker 3: old boy Club, like they explore, like the weird white
Speaker 3: fucking members only club. It was called like the Christmas
Speaker 3: Clan or some ship like that, you know, Christmas Adventure Club.
Speaker 2: It was the.
Speaker 3: Christmas Adventure Club, that's what they called it. And they
Speaker 3: each had had like Christmas names like Patrick Kringle.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. And at the end in the movie it's
Speaker 2: white anyway, it's dark.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to know the secret they have.
Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, you know, I knew they had those,
Speaker 3: but seeing it play out with these old white men
Speaker 3: on screen that they were doing really good acting, I
Speaker 3: was like, this is too close to real. No, it is,
Speaker 3: it's happening. They actually might be in it. They're playing themselves.
Speaker 3: I don't know anyway, Oh my goodness, it's so deep revolutionary.
Speaker 7: Revolution handsome strong, you know, in his masculine energy, loves
Speaker 7: taking care of shit, loves making things happen, love seeing
Speaker 7: me win. Oh, his favorite pastime is putting me in
Speaker 7: position to thrive. Get to a bag strong, beautiful healing
Speaker 7: medicinal hands who doesn't mind getting being up at three

Speaker 3: towards you.
Speaker 7: Thank you the way I feel good about it, I'm like,

Speaker 2: It, and there's no way I'm not going to attract it.
Speaker 7: Like yeah, that's how I feel exactly, And thank y'all
Speaker 7: for asking.
Speaker 3: Of course, sometimes you have to say it out loud
Speaker 3: on them airways to your homegirls. Since you remind the universe, heytant,
Speaker 3: this is what I was asked.
Speaker 2: Remember me, Hey, hey, remember that moment it's here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 3: When you meet that king, you don't be acting stupid, because,
Speaker 3: let me tell you, even a queen be tripping when
Speaker 3: she meets her king, trying to run away, and like
Speaker 3: we do let our traumas ruin relationships after all the
Speaker 3: work we've done and all these things, and you know,
Speaker 3: like there's sometimes like even That's why I said, like
Speaker 3: even the divine feminine needs to go sit in a
Speaker 3: masculine space and observe themselves and see how they show
Speaker 3: up there and see the things that they can learn,
Speaker 3: because we need to learn. Also, we don't just automatically
Speaker 3: know what niggasn't want.
Speaker 2: So where's a masculine space we can go?
Speaker 6: Like what comes to mind when you say that?
Speaker 2: You know what? Okay, let me tell you guys, Okay something.
Speaker 5: So yesterday I was were looking at reels and you know,
Speaker 5: they're always feeding a shit that doesn't belong to you.
Speaker 5: And there's this black eye and he's like on camera
Speaker 5: and he's like, yo, I want to show you what
Speaker 5: happens when I cut my nails in front of my
Speaker 5: TI girlfriend. And like the caption is like I have
Speaker 5: a TI girlfriend or something.
Speaker 2: It's a black guy.
Speaker 5: Okay, So like generally, you know, like I just like
Speaker 5: I really dislike self hating black man who like just
Speaker 5: have to like be just you know. So he starts
Speaker 5: cutting his nails and.
Speaker 2: She's like, babe, what are you doing.
Speaker 3: And he's like nothing, and she's like, babe, stop. So
Speaker 3: then she comes up, this little TI girl and she
Speaker 3: looks brown. She almost like I don't know if she's blackfishing,
Speaker 3: if she's a brown tie and she's looking like or
Speaker 3: maybe she gets black in her I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, but she's tie. And she's like, stop, that is
Speaker 2: my job. I stop. That is my job. I cut
Speaker 2: your nails or whatever.
Speaker 5: And then he's like shows her the camera and she's like, oh, will.
Speaker 2: You do that? And he's like, I'm gonna start video.
Speaker 5: So then he comes to the camera like guys come
Speaker 5: to Thailand like they take care of you.
Speaker 3: So then I'm like he's in Thailand, Like he's not.
Speaker 3: He's not in America with the TI girl. He's actually
Speaker 3: broadcast and.
Speaker 5: You want to Soway started looking through his content and
Speaker 5: saw like girls, it's Carter Nows and that's traveling. And
Speaker 5: then it's like I found that you probably this like
Speaker 5: I saw the tie halle Berry and she has like
Speaker 5: a short haircut.
Speaker 2: She's like sick. So you know, he got like the
Speaker 2: blackest TI whatever. So I was reading they Berry, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's it.
Speaker 3: He's like his whole page. She's got a viral over there.
Speaker 3: It looks like he's trying to get on. He's like
Speaker 3: kind of corny in America. So he went over there.
Speaker 3: She is followers. She's like, I'm gonna like so you know.
Speaker 5: But after like getting past the fact that that was
Speaker 5: super annoying, and I was reading the comments and they're like,
Speaker 5: you don't have you could just play your partner without
Speaker 5: having a fetish size and the hiring right, and he
Speaker 5: was like I can see him in the going back
Speaker 5: and forth, like a lot of nice guys wouldn't say that,
Speaker 5: Like she's like, I'm black and I do this. But then,
Speaker 5: like when I got past my annoyance of the whole thing,
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't be cutting nobody's fucking nails.
Speaker 2: I don't know does Orlando cut you?
Speaker 3: And then I went to this whole internal battle about
Speaker 3: like my femininity and like, no, baby is another bits
Speaker 3: gonna go suit my man? Because not for I haven't
Speaker 3: been trained to be like as subservient as because I
Speaker 3: know that there's other cultures that if Orlando leaves you
Speaker 3: for a bitch clipping toenails, then he was never your man.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me tell you right now. I literally had
Speaker 2: like I was just like, no, am I trigger?
Speaker 3: But I think it's I think observing your relationship with
Speaker 3: uh submission, what you view a submission or what you
Speaker 3: view as like servitude to your partner has been something
Speaker 3: that has come up for you, right because it's not
Speaker 3: something that necessarily you witnessed.
Speaker 2: So it's it's good.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be triggered by ship that is not something
Speaker 3: that you should be triggered by as your friend.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna allow that. I was like, I gotta
Speaker 2: try to be softer. I gotta be like that was good.
Speaker 6: You're such a good friend.
Speaker 2: Don't do that. I love it.
Speaker 3: I mean what I clipped MS have, I I think
Speaker 3: I have I have cliped Chem's tone. I was only
Speaker 3: because they were growing over his toes with toe so
Speaker 3: it was more of.
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck? Then, like I love my man's toenails.
Speaker 3: It was like, you know, you come in sometimes Nigga's
Speaker 3: been on the market for too long and the woman
Speaker 3: has to come in and just you know, get them
Speaker 3: together up a little bit, just details, but the levels.
Speaker 3: But there's like this, there's this role right, Like there's
Speaker 3: this just like in motherhood, when we came into motherhood,
Speaker 3: there's this is that like this this under this like
Speaker 3: quiet understanding, like suddenly you have to turn into this
Speaker 3: type of person because now the baby, right, and then
Speaker 3: like now I'm a wife, and then like I'm triggered
Speaker 3: because it's bitches cutting tone, He's like kind of tent.
Speaker 2: What could you do? What could you do? That's your
Speaker 2: version of cutting tone?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Exactly?
Speaker 3: What is like exactly like I, you know, I'm loving
Speaker 3: like you know, but maybe I can try harder, but
Speaker 3: like it, what's something that you could do consistently? Do
Speaker 3: you think that you would like you would actually like
Speaker 3: to do because you need to like to okay, perfect mango,
Speaker 3: you know. But I was just like contemplating my servitude
Speaker 3: and my my femininity. And then like now I'm married,
Speaker 3: I'm like, and I do have a really good man.
Speaker 3: He does should be really good and he does like
Speaker 3: baby me sometimes that I need that, And I'm like.
Speaker 2: Do I do that? Like do I have to how
Speaker 2: do I do that?
Speaker 7: Did he come to you and say like, oh, you're
Speaker 7: not being subservient enough they look on the internet. Okay,
Speaker 7: so it doesn't have nothing to do with him or
Speaker 7: what he thought. It was just how it was impacting
Speaker 7: you from seeing it.
Speaker 5: And then I was like so interesting, Like I think
Speaker 5: as black women too, I am so used to seeing
Speaker 5: like anti black rhetoric on the internet from black men,
Speaker 5: and I would like to say that I'm bothered by it,
Speaker 5: but like, obviously I'm bothered by it, and it does
Speaker 5: like it's always really really like deeply hurt my heart
Speaker 5: to see so many and obviously there's black men that
Speaker 5: love black women, but like so many black men who
Speaker 5: are so willing to toss us in the trash like
Speaker 5: they can't do this or like or just like I
Speaker 5: just even reading the comments or just I guess growing
Speaker 5: up in a predominantly white space too, just seeing black
Speaker 5: men experience such deep self hate and not even recognize
Speaker 5: that that's what it is. It like it does it
Speaker 5: annoys the shit out of me, like like upping every.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just I see it the hashtag mixed.
Speaker 3: Kids and like this fucking weird thing that it's like,
Speaker 3: why are like my black husband does is my white
Speaker 3: wife and like it just loved the bitch silently.
Speaker 2: Like you don't have to why you should get a
Speaker 2: white husband. There's a lot of those she knows husband.
Speaker 2: We're saying this out our mouth. It's one thing to think.
Speaker 3: It's the whole other thing to write it in a
Speaker 3: caption because because there's a that's the product of black
Speaker 3: women that haven't felt appreciated and.
Speaker 2: Listen that that's what it is. I get it. There's
Speaker 2: a deficit, literally, girls, you see the.
Speaker 5: Poison that well, my white husband loves my force hair.
Speaker 5: That's a real realize she doesn't or she just like
Speaker 5: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Forcing hair is because I'm a blonde.
Speaker 6: Oh that's that's too deep.
Speaker 2: But I've seen it.
Speaker 5: You know, and it's I think it's just self hate
Speaker 5: in general, you know, poses like love who you want, know,
Speaker 5: like mantin Luther.
Speaker 2: King said, like, you know, I get it, you know,
Speaker 2: but I'm just like, there's a level of.
Speaker 6: Self accountability.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't need to say this to say to
Speaker 2: love your person.
Speaker 7: I see what you mean, But it sounds like you're
Speaker 7: calling You're just calling people back to like loving themselves.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, pretty much, and also just questioning my my,
Speaker 5: my softness and my femininity.
Speaker 7: And girl, you are so soft and beautiful and feminine
Speaker 7: and sexy in confident and you be dancing and swirling
Speaker 7: and you've been jumping on young man and you kissing,
Speaker 7: and you be going to Vegas and doing like surprise
Speaker 7: weddings and wearing sexy ass cancers can be hardcore in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Two people were like, you're assertive, and I was like.
Speaker 7: I would call that just being a woman, being a
Speaker 7: multi dimensional woman, because there's times where you can be
Speaker 7: in your soft feminine sex sees.
Speaker 2: You're why are we not allowed to do percentages? Yes,
Speaker 2: I have to be it though you're not one of
Speaker 2: the times. I'm a bit. I'm a bitma love. It
Speaker 2: was all just about it between okay, any other way.
Speaker 3: See, I wouldn't so take me as I am. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're allowed to do y'all are hilarious.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was thinking that too.
Speaker 6: Multi dimensional.
Speaker 5: What would be the percentage of the masculine versus the.
Speaker 2: Fifty fifty group?
Speaker 5: And I think everybody's twenty five percent strong, twenty five
Speaker 5: to masculine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in different ways that's not bad though. I think
Speaker 2: everybody has a strong twenty five to it's not.
Speaker 3: I think we're all just very driven to either do
Speaker 3: something or share something.
Speaker 2: Sharing it's true or acting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's doing, not acting, but like acting
Speaker 3: upon it. But yeah, no, I would agree.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So I was just telling you. I was like, I
Speaker 3: am an alpha female. Okay, in the feminine space.
Speaker 2: I am alpha.
Speaker 3: Not necessarily in the world as a holistic person, but
Speaker 3: like in alpha space spaces, I I mean, in spaces
Speaker 3: amongst women, I can feel very much like an O. Yes,
Speaker 3: and it's just like natural, it just comes to me.
Speaker 3: It's not about whether it's better or not. It's just
Speaker 3: like I want to make sure what are we doing.
Speaker 3: It's more about like, okay, because everyone has their position period,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean and like, and there needs
Speaker 3: to be more than one leader.
Speaker 2: I don't want it to all be on me, right
Speaker 2: of course for that absolutely, So.
Speaker 6: Your solution base, I am, You're a leader.
Speaker 5: Solution based like, Okay, how are we going to solve
Speaker 5: this problem?
Speaker 3: I'm yes, there's a solution, but there's I can I
Speaker 3: feel like I have this I can just delegate.
Speaker 2: Right, That's good. To know you knows a delegator. Hit
Speaker 2: me up. I'm the projector accordingly to the human Design.
Speaker 7: The person who does my human design readings, who I
Speaker 7: think is like literal like purpose on Earth was to
Speaker 7: come here and specifically read human design.
Speaker 2: For black women's.
Speaker 6: He goes by the name of Infinite Vibes.
Speaker 2: But he's like yo.
Speaker 6: I'm like yo, this is your purpose.
Speaker 7: But anyways, he always tells me like based on my sign,
Speaker 7: he breaks it down and he's like, you need a projector,
Speaker 7: Like the projector is going to come in and they're
Speaker 7: going to take your ideas and they're going to be
Speaker 7: able to execute.
Speaker 2: And like da da da da. And I'm like okay, yeah, projector.
Speaker 7: So I always have I'm always intrigued by projectors because
Speaker 7: it's like, like you said, everybody has a position and
Speaker 7: there's a very it's important that we understand our role
Speaker 7: so that we can all played a position properly, especially
Speaker 7: in revolutionary times like this.
Speaker 3: Everybody has a role. Everyone everyone has a role. Everyone
Speaker 3: has leadership. Like when I say leader, I don't mean
Speaker 3: like I'm the leader, like I know.
Speaker 2: How to lead.
Speaker 3: In the leadership, everyone has different ways that they can
Speaker 3: lead and Yeah, it's just.
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, do you hear? I don't know. Sorry,
Speaker 2: you know what I tell you. How we got here.
Speaker 7: It started with a bundle of organic grapes and another bundle.
Speaker 2: Of bone marymer for six.
Speaker 5: Okay, my gosh, so Erica, I think it's time.
Speaker 2: First day two of one you spell out of the
Speaker 2: day fell out? Reversed? Oh wait, no, this one fell out? Okay, whatever,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Future planning. Okay, upright, two one's I thought this was
Speaker 3: reversed the.
Speaker 2: Other one this one dropped first, doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: Future planning, progress, decisions, discovery, we were just talking about this.
Speaker 5: The two ones takes the spark of inspiration from the
Speaker 5: Ace of Wands and turns into a clear action plan.
Speaker 5: You went through the discovery phase and know what you
Speaker 5: want to manifest. Now you need to figure out how
Speaker 5: you're exploring your options and carefully plotting out the path ahead,
Speaker 5: accounting accounting for all possibilities and potential challenges. You're open
Speaker 5: to growth and exploring new territories, so long as you
Speaker 5: maintain a level of certainty that your efforts.
Speaker 2: Will work out in the end.
Speaker 5: When the Two of WANs appears in a child reading
Speaker 5: you're not ready to make your move. It is more
Speaker 5: important that you establish a clear plan before preceding.
Speaker 2: The two of.
Speaker 5: Wands is also about discovery, particularly as you step outside
Speaker 5: your comfort zone and explore new worlds and experiences. May
Speaker 5: take courage to set out, but this card gives you
Speaker 5: the confidence of self knowledge. You know what your goal
Speaker 5: is and you're sure if it's an eventful fulfillment. Let
Speaker 5: your intuition and passion guide you as you confirm your
Speaker 5: next steps.
Speaker 7: M that's powerful that there's.
Speaker 2: Been alignment after alignment after alignment.
Speaker 3: I just see, I know, I see how the spark
Speaker 3: of alignment really fucking works because I just see like
Speaker 3: when it's when you've been in alignment with an energy
Speaker 3: or someone for a really long time and then there's
Speaker 3: like a break in the alignment. I can I can
Speaker 3: literally see how shit sways and changes, and then when
Speaker 3: you respark that alignment, how things like it literally it
Speaker 3: just keeps moving.
Speaker 2: Forward and forward or or recedes. So we have more
Speaker 2: power than we think we do. We do.
Speaker 3: And they would say, like where you know energy goes
Speaker 3: or energy flows those where energy goes, And of course,
Speaker 3: I mean, like that's such a basic saying, but this,
Speaker 3: that's the truth?
Speaker 2: Period? Is it really so?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 7: You be listening to Abraham Higgs and Louisa I listened
Speaker 7: to on my walks.
Speaker 6: That's cute. I rock with her to Oh that's so funny.
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, anyways, I fuck with them white girls.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I got to tap into the whites. There's some
Speaker 2: sh yeah, for sure. Intelligent.
Speaker 5: The nine of wands reverse suggests that you're struggling to
Speaker 5: keep working towards your goal. The challenges on your path
Speaker 5: are relentless, pummeling you, and with setback after setback, you
Speaker 5: don't know if you can cope with it anymore. Maybe
Speaker 5: ready to give up. Just know that you are so
Speaker 5: close to completing this challenge. Draw upon your internal resources,
Speaker 5: your resilience, inner courage, positive self talk, and mindset to
Speaker 5: keep you going. You have it in turn this challenging
Speaker 5: situation into a fantastic success, and to help others facing
Speaker 5: similar hurdles.
Speaker 2: Keep fighting. You got this, mm, so keep going. Yeah.
Speaker 5: It could also come up when you feel overcome by
Speaker 5: your responsibilities or lack of support of those around you.
Speaker 5: It seems if life is work and no play, all
Speaker 5: work and no play.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 5: If you know this is a temporary setback. Then you
Speaker 5: may just need to push through for now so you
Speaker 5: can get to the finish line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate you saying that.
Speaker 7: I was really going hard, like for many years, non
Speaker 7: stop touring, doing shows, traveling. I mean, I was making
Speaker 7: everything I saw in my mind. It was coming to fruition.
Speaker 7: And that's when I was like, I took aim in
Speaker 7: and I was like, Okay, Like, dang, girl, You've accomplished
Speaker 7: so many historical things. Yay, go girl, go, But like,
Speaker 7: is that where we're gonna do another ten years? Like
Speaker 7: what does the next ten years look like? How can
Speaker 7: we refine it? You know, like refinement is a theme
Speaker 7: word of mine. This year just doesn't always have to
Speaker 7: be so much about expansion and just be about Yeah,
Speaker 7: it could just be about like, you know, making it
Speaker 7: even more delectable and just like impactful and intentional.
Speaker 2: And so I love that.
Speaker 7: And I've been more mindful of like the team and
Speaker 7: certain people, you know, putting in a position you mentioned delegating,
Speaker 7: Like that's very important, like just to be able to
Speaker 7: delegate and release, like lighten the burden and be more
Speaker 7: organized and strategic. So even with you know, some of
Speaker 7: my events and stuff like that, just giving myself like
Speaker 7: nine months a year to really prepare, you know, and plan,
Speaker 7: and some things will happen spontaneously. And I'm always open
Speaker 7: to the blessings, the unexpected blessings. But I appreciate that
Speaker 7: card because I've been giving myself more space to just relax,
Speaker 7: to chill, to make some tea, to just listen to
Speaker 7: some music, to like shake my ass, to do some
Speaker 7: her work, to you know, just smoke a little something, listen,
Speaker 7: you know, and it's been working out for me. So
Speaker 7: I'm just calling in more of that, and I'm gonna
Speaker 7: still have get my work done. But you know, Tricia Hersey,
Speaker 7: I'm sure you guys know about the girl, the lady
Speaker 7: who does in that ministry. Like she's always talking about
Speaker 7: how black women taking a nap is such a revolutionary act,
Speaker 7: and I really agree with that. So every time I
Speaker 7: lay down, I'm like, yeah, like fucking I'm gonna take
Speaker 7: this twenty minute nap or I'm gonna just turn my
Speaker 7: phone off for a day. So anyway, yeah, if you
Speaker 7: feel me, you.
Speaker 2: Feel me, I feel you to.
Speaker 7: Y'all are moms on top of that, But what were
Speaker 7: you gonna say, just releasing the need to do all
Speaker 7: the time right to produce, just just like valuing also
Speaker 7: when you're resting and just observing that time too, and
Speaker 7: like without or guilt.
Speaker 3: I want to trust the output and not put so
Speaker 3: much like emphasis on the intensity.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like, is the output? Enough is what I'm creating and
Speaker 3: putting out in the world. Enough is using my platform
Speaker 3: to share for good and for love and for education. Enough,
Speaker 3: Like or do I have to do a thousand things
Speaker 3: in order to to create value in my life? And
Speaker 3: what I'm finding is that no, it is enough. Like actually,
Speaker 3: the frequency of love is very powerful in all ways,
Speaker 3: especially in your finances, especially when you're genuine. You see
Speaker 3: people winning because they're leading with that. Like whenever I
Speaker 3: see people coming up that are like damn, how does
Speaker 3: she come up like that? Like that's so crazy. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: it's not. Actually, like you see the shifts and what happened.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think, like you said, rest is revolutionary
Speaker 3: for black women, and I'm.
Speaker 2: All about it. Let's go back.
Speaker 7: We can do both, okay, but I need to come
Speaker 7: over and just make something really nice.

Speaker 7: given day.
