So so I'm assuming there 338 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: were just like a ton of brands there as usual. 339 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, lots of brands I didn't talk to any of 340 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 3: the brands. Okay, that was I don't. Yeah, there were 341 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 3: lots of brands, so it's also a place where you 342 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 3: can form business relationships. And you know, one of the 343 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: things too that stands out is that there aren't very 344 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 3: many people in the Finncon commun be doing exactly what 345 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 3: I do with the in the niche that I am 346 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 3: negotiating in career. So it was fun because like, I'm 347 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: not going to partner with a you know, investing app 348 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 3: or life insurance or insurance. You know, like that doesn't 349 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 3: really vibe. It's not the right, you know, fit for me. 350 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: So for me, it was like those personal connections and 351 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: I definitely want to you know, we have other stuff 352 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: to talk about. But there's one moment that stands out 353 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: for me, and it was when there was an app 354 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 3: during the conference and at one point there's like these 355 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 3: in in what's the word informal meetups and it said 356 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: women of color podcasters And I was like, let me 357 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 3: go see what who's all who all over there? And 358 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 3: so I went down and I think I got there 359 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 3: one minute early and no tables, They're just empty tables, 360 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 3: and I found one or two women of color at 361 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 3: a table and I was like, is this the women 362 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 3: of color pot? And it wasn't and they were like no, 363 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 3: and I was like, well, I'm just gonna sit here. 364 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 3: And by the time, like I think, I started chatting 365 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: with them, and then more another woman of color, another, another, another, 366 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 3: Over a hundred women of color poured around this table, 367 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 3: chairs like pulling tables together, and I was getting chills, 368 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 3: and I was so proud because a lot of them 369 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 3: knew of Brown Ambition. But to like that, are you 370 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: kidding me when we launched for an ambition? No, none 371 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 3: of that. No, it was so phenomenal. So shout out 372 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 3: to the WOC podcaster organization that hosted that. But I 373 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 3: the number of times I had I was in my 374 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 3: feelings and like getting all misty eyed. It was.

I'm not 492 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 2: gonna celebrate anyone's death. 493 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: But I want to break from people asking the colonized, 494 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: the indigenous, the oppressed, the murdered, like I want to. 495 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: I want to break from people asking folks like that to. 496 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: Take it easy on that legacy. 497 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: You know, because because I am a product of that legacy, 498 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: because we all like to pretend like, oh, it's just 499 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: a figurehead. 500 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: Stop now. 501 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: When my dad and mom were like in their twenties 502 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: and like early thirties, they lived through something called the 503 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: Biafran War, and that's when Nigeria went through a civil 504 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: war and they were trying to become the Ebos, which 505 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: is the the people, the ethnic group that I'm from, 506 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: try to leave and secede from Nigeria. The issue is 507 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: that Nigeria is colonized by you know, the British Empire, 508 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: and that's why Nigerians speak English. And Ebo Land, where 509 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm from and my ancestors are from, is very oil rich, 510 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: even more so than like the Middle East. And so 511 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: as a result, you know, they were prevented by way 512 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: of death of millions of Ebos, which was in large 513 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: part encouraged and activated by that legacy actively. So not 514 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: like oh your mom's mom's mom, no sis you and 515 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: so literally millions upon millions of Ebos died, and you know, 516 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: there are family members that I'll never know, you know, 517 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: And like I said, this is not like my Dad 518 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: is still here. He fought in it in the in 519 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: the biafran War. I have money from that time. You know, 520 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: they literally tried to starve them out. 521 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: The US brought food. 522 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons why, Like there's this 523 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: joke that no matter where you going to the world, 524 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: you're going to find an ebo man, you know, because 525 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: people fled. It's like, like there are so many ebos 526 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: here in the United States and otherwise because people fled 527 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: it was not safe and once they were able to leave, 528 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: they did. And so I just share all that to 529 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: say that, you know, although I'm not here to celebrate 530 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: anyone's passing, I certainly that doesn't mean you have to 531 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: be quiet about the ugly parts of their legacy, you 532 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: know what I mean, because so many there are people 533 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: literally still Like there's a woman in I forget where 534 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: there was a video I think she was Kenyan and 535 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: she was sharing and how you know, she was beaten 536 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: almost to death by by British troops when they came. 537 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: And that was on you know, on order from from 538 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: the very legacy that you know, and you are allowed 539 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: to feel how you want to feel, you know, But 540 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: I just I want to break from policing how people feel, 541 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: especially those who have been traumatically affected, you know, by 542 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: the choices made. So that was I just want to 543 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: break from that because I saw a lot of that, Like, 544 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: how do you say that? Where were you when people 545 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: were being killed and murdered and raped? 546 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 2: His day? Oh okay, how did that? How about that? 547 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 5: You know? 548 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 3: And so no, I think it's so healthy to look 549 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 3: back on a legacy in our history. We don't do 550 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 3: that often enough. I don't think we have to be 551 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 3: critical or those things will happen again. You know, the 552 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 3: monarchy needs to know clocked it noted, you know what 553 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 3: I mean, have not forgotten. At the same time, yeah, 554 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 3: I agree. I don't think that's my conversation to like 555 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 3: lead the charge on at all. But I supported one 556 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 3: thousand percent, and I feel like it goes for the 557 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 3: US too. We're not our hands are not please, our 558 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 3: hands are not clean and perfect at all either. So 559 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 3: I think it's a great and I love that discourse, 560 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 3: and I want to see more of that thoughtful discourse. 561 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 3: I mean, black Twitter is going black Twitter, and it's funny. 562 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, you know, it's hilarious.
