Yes, I do black owned business. 374 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: I just I just feel like there's so many um 375 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: things that are said on social media, specifically from men 376 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: acting like women either have babies to get child support 377 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: or that, or that the mothers used the child support 378 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: for them and not the children. They'd be like, why 379 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: is it not going to the kid? I really don't 380 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: think that a lot of men taking into consideration that, Okay, 381 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: there's expenses involved with children, but as a woman, your 382 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: whole life is now changed, Like how would you go 383 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: about the jobs you can accept, the hours you can work? 384 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: All of these things are put into that. I don't 385 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: think the men look at it like that, like you 386 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: gotta baby, so what I gotta I gotta argument this 387 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: with my coworker because he was like, what the funk? 388 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: This is ridiculous, like blah blah blah, like I don't care, 389 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: the kids don't cost that much. I said, well, you 390 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: know what costs that much my time. I gotta get 391 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: a job. I can't have a social life, like are 392 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: you kidding me? Babysitters just even trying to daycare after school, 393 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: and you take that nick on the weekends, and that's 394 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: a super high bill. I already know, like I'm so 395 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: used to being broke. I just came into a little cash, 396 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: a decent salary, and I still got planning alone, so 397 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: my net worth is in the negatives. But I just 398 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: became like very self sufficient where I don't need my 399 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: mom help, I don't need my friend help, Like I'm good, 400 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: but I'm so used to being broke that with anything. 401 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: But my son I asked for scholarships, like automatically, of 402 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: course the thing he wants to do. First question out 403 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: of my mouth. If I'm signing him up for something, 404 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: it's a scholarship because it costs that much. You need 405 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: to discount somewhere, and then it's past financials. I think 406 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: a lot of men and maybe some women as well, 407 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: think of it on the financial level. But sometimes I'm thinking, like, 408 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: did you ever think about whenever a woman does receive 409 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: that child support, By the time she get that money, 410 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: all her kids ship is gonna be meant anyway, So 411 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 1: it's coming out of your pocket regardless no one is 412 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: waiting for your child support. No one's like because you 413 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: didn't pay your child support, and these little ass coins 414 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: at a lot of us, right, they're like, it's chump change. 415 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: How did you feel when you saw the blade Griffin thing? 416 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: And how do you feel about it? With how much 417 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: she's getting do you think? I think it's fine, you know, 418 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: if he can afford it. And what's crazy to me 419 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: is an I kind of wanted to share my situation 420 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: with child support. Is my dad growing up? He stops 421 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: talking to us for well over a year because my 422 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: mom wanted more. UM. She was getting eighty dollars a 423 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: week for two kids from my daddy, and so when 424 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: she finally finished school to receive her lp N, she 425 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: was then making too much money to be on Section 426 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: eight and food stamps anymore. So because she couldn't be 427 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: on second and food stamps anymore, her job was still 428 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: as an lp N, I think was like ten dollars 429 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: and twelve dollars, you're making too much to get government assistance. 430 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: So she took my dad back to court um to 431 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: race child support.

I didn't 452 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: know what that was that toiletries is expensive to for 453 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: her to have to do it for for four women 454 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: hurt and there's three of us, so Tampon's conditioner good. 455 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: I grew up in a single parent household as well. 456 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: Like my mom, she took care of us and did everything, 457 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: did everything, And I feel like child support was something 458 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: that kind of came up. But one thing that never 459 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: comes up with child support that sucks. Like we always 460 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: talk about the money. We never talked about the time. 461 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: Like we always talk about like, oh, here they go 462 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: asking for all this money, but we never said, well, 463 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: you know, what's the dad saying, like are they around? 464 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: Like are they gonna spend time? Or like what's that 465 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: game playing like? Because at the very least, if we 466 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: say Blake Griffin hangs out with his children X amount 467 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: of times, and then we could be like, oh, well 468 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: maybe that's successive since he does take his kids around. 469 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: But why why should we say that successive. He's a 470 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: he's a dad. He had these kids because he could 471 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: afford to, and he could afford to pay the shop support. 472 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: And I I don't think there's anything wrong with him paying 473 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: it as long as he continues to take care of 474 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: his kids as well. And people love arguing about someone 475 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: else's money, that's all. I don't know. I'd be doing 476 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: the same ship too. I'm so you're telling me that, Nigga. 477 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm so happy you said that, because I used to 478 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: be like really angry about the amount I got, and 479 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: then it was so sporadic. He will go years without 480 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: paying and I get like a lump some and then 481 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: like it go years again. I used to be really 482 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: angry about it, but then I let it go when 483 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: I realized to your point that the most important thing 484 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: is my son's connection with his dad. At the end 485 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,479 Speaker 1: of the day, I'm gonna take care of everything my 486 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: son needs. He's good and so, but what I can't 487 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: do for him is give him his dad's love. Only 488 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 1: his dad can give that to him. So like, for example, 489 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: this summer, he's gonna send a good chunk of child 490 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: with his chunk of time with his dad. And I 491 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: could be an ass and I could bring up I 492 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: never bring up the child support. I never bring out 493 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: how long he had never paid me. The only conversation 494 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: I want to have is when you're gonna see him, 495 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: is he good? Do you like? When you're gonna pick 496 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: him up, We're gonna drop him off and spend time 497 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: with So that is one thing I can't let me 498 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: ask both of y'all then, because I'm trying to think, yes, 499 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: time is very important. So do you feel like, um, 500 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: a man should pay less in child support if he 501 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: is garnering that time with his children. All right, I 502 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: don't thought he should, but but he does have at 503 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: least a case to make to say that he can 504 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: take care of his child to a certain degree. He 505 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: just has to pay child support because of whatever the 506 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: circumstances is with him his baby mama.

I don't know what did they 549 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: pull down? Damn? We highest? Okay? So what is it? 550 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: So the kick of the week this week, guys, is 551 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: a mor aphilia? Um? Yes? So? A more aphilia usually 552 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: manifests itself by an inhibition of sight, with either one 553 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: or both partners using a blindfold or having sex in 554 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: total darkness. This might be caused by reasons such as 555 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: religious guilt about nudity and sex, low self esteem, or 556 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: feelings of inadequacy. Yes, what are're just like being blindfold 557 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: a little bit? So there is this, and so I 558 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about that because have you ever been 559 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: blindfolded before? And because this is a king, I mean 560 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: I could see maybe some people being insecure in the bedroom. 561 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: Or you're gonna do it tonight. You're gonna get blindfolded tonight. 562 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: You've never been blind hold and it's a big difference. 563 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: It seems like such a basic thing, but when you 564 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: lose one of your senses, holy shit, I've had my 565 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: because like something is gone, you know what I'm saying, 566 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: Like you can't see anything, so now you're completely focused 567 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: on the way you feel pillows on your face. It's 568 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: a blindness. So sometimes normally like a part of losing 569 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: your breath, like losing your hair, like I've just over 570 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: you've covered your face with a pillow, I feel like 571 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: having all kind of go to scream or something. By 572 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: the way, something I thought about when watching the reading 573 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: this is I was watching handmaids Tale, Oh my God, 574 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: and do you remember when he so like some religions 575 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: through a hole in the sheet because of the guilt 576 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: about nudity and sex. And so this kind of made 577 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: me think about that. It's crazy because I feel like 578 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: I've I've experienced some type of trauma now, like I 579 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: don't ever want to be blindfolded. I got blindfolded for 580 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: the first time one we talked about this with the 581 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: stealthing of condoms. A guy snuck off the condom while 582 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: I was blindfolded, and I didn't realize right grow well 583 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: was gonna get into that, and I guess so before 584 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: we start, do you want to give a disclaimer for 585 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: our listeners, because I know we've been talking about how 586 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: we are we you seguated to the guy, damn it, 587 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: that's ever we wanted to let you guys know. We 588 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: wanted to start off on a light note. But as 589 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: much as uh Dub has been a really good friend 590 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: to the show and had such a raunchy episode with 591 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: the Unicorn ship, she just she actually told me that 592 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: when she came to New York to visit that she 593 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: wanted to do this.

Okay, Okay, go ahead, hello. 653 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: Um So, yeah, so I was fourteen. I started off 654 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: a little um. I hate to use this word where 655 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: having this conversation, but fast um. And I think I 656 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: got attention from boys when I was like thirteen. I locked. 657 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: I've actually never even I told you this. So I 658 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: lost my virginity to a three year old and I 659 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: was fourteen to a one year old thirty okay, So 660 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: it started, it was it was, it was completely consensual, 661 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: but I just started off really fast. So I was 662 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: dating this guy who was actually twenty two and you 663 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: were out. I was fourteen. I told him I was sixteen. 664 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: A lot of girls he told me he was nineteen. Okay, 665 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: So qu was doing the block. I was kind of 666 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: dating him, so I can dig a little bit. That's 667 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: what David was for me. Sorry, um. But then one 668 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: day I invited him over and we were hooking up, 669 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: and then he went downstairs and invited his friends in 670 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: my house and I was getting raped by six guys, 671 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: including him. So I ran away and then I went 672 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: into this really deep depression for about a year. So 673 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: for like fourteen and fifteen young age to happening, I 674 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: was running away constantly, like going all over place, Like 675 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: I would go to church and I would leave because 676 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: my mom would let me to go, like Sunday school. 677 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: That's how I left. And I was like, so I 678 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: didn't use drugs. I actually wasn't even smoking weed, but 679 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: my drug was sex. So I was fucking everybody, older guys, 680 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: younger guys. My guy's mom not really got my age. 681 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: They were at least nineteen all the guys. Let me 682 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: ask you a question, because diving in you experienced him 683 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: and his friends. Do you mind sharing the number? It 684 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: was six, so six guys total. And the triggering thing 685 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: because a lot of women would maybe assume that you 686 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: would go through his face where you hated men. So 687 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: for you telling me went through a phase where you 688 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: were constantly fucking after that. To me, that's the opposite. 689 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: I feel like we think like it was my one 690 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: of my first sexual experiences was someone way too old 691 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: for me. And then my like maybe third sexual experience 692 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: was you know, third if you don't count sucking dick. 693 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: It was like my third sexual experience was rape. So 694 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: like I did not know a loving, romantic, intimate like 695 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: relationship at that time. I only knew fucking. I only 696 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: knew and to me, the word no didn't matter. So 697 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: like I would hang out with guys and if I 698 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: knew it was getting sexual, I knew in my mind 699 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: like if I'm gonna say no, they're gonna do it anyway. 700 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: So when you when you were going through that um 701 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: when the men were coming upstairs, how was the conversation? 702 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 1: Did you ever say stop? Yes? But it didn't matter? 703 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: Then end? Like and then what did it for me? 704 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: So at first I was like stop and it was 705 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: like a very forceful, like violent situation in terms of 706 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: me pushing back. But then when they sodomized me, I 707 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: just they sodomized you with what means just the anal 708 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: I don't know soomize. Yeah, I don't know why sodomized 709 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: to me makes me think they used tools like or 710 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: it's just antally it is antal penetration, antal rape, sodomized. 711 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: I think it's anal penaltration. I think it's just in sodomy. 712 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: It's just the act of anal But that's why you can, like, 713 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: I think in Georgia it's still legal or some crazy 714 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: ship like that, sodoman But just what was your relationship 715 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: with your family when this was going on? Yeah? Great questions. 716 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: So my mom and I was a relationship tanked. I 717 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: became very angry and just so she was kind of 718 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: talking ship. Were you keeping this private? Can we start there? 719 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: So she walked into it? What wait, your mom walked 720 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: into That's how it stopped. And then I, I don't 721 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: remember why, they ran out of the house. She's like 722 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: chasing down the street and then I get my clothes 723 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 1: on and I did and I run away for like 724 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: two days?

This is like later in my story, but 790 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: there's actually certain parts of Boston that I won't even 791 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: go to because I'm just like instantly triggered. It's weird, 792 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: like if I see them.

I met another 811 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: group of guys that I would consensually have sex with 812 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 1: them often as as a group. As a group, they 813 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: would technically run trains on me. Okay, how many guys? 814 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: Six of them and I would hang out with them too, 815 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: and I would run away if I ran away. I 816 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,479 Speaker 1: was with them for a very long time, for about 817 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: a year, so then how old? How old were you? 818 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: So the next year, oh wow, my whole fifteen, Like 819 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: I tanked in school. I was run away. The cops 820 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 1: were like, we're gonna lock you up if you keep 821 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 1: running away. So that's when I was like, Okay, well 822 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go to jail, so let me get 823 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: my ship together.

I my mom switched me out of a 826 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: school that really helped. So I was going to like 827 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: the So I'm from Cambridge and like in Massachusetts, and 828 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: there's one high school in Cambridge. Everyone was like, she's 829 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: a hope, right, murd what happened? And I was like, 830 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: so I was tainted as a whole, and it was 831 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: just really tough. And my mom worked at the school, 832 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: so it was just a lot. So my mom switched 833 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: me out of the school. To a school that was 834 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: like everyone in the school had a therapist in house. 835 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: It was for kids who like really going through some ship. 836 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: Let me in that school. Amazing school saved my life. 837 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: So by this time, I'm hitting six team and I'm 838 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: really starting to get my ship together. I'm like, Okay, well, 839 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: I can't be working with these niggas no more. I 840 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: got like and I'm like doing well in school. Actually 841 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: graduated year early from school because I was going to 842 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: mentioned my best gun of the Master's you know what 843 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,279 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, graduating when I was sixteen, But 844 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 1: like it was really hard, and I did it because 845 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: I was like, I can't be in Boston. I felt 846 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: like Boston was gonna kill me at this point. So 847 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 1: I cut it off with the guys that I'm regularly 848 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: having sex with and I'm like, no, So for a 849 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: while I don't see them. But then one day one 850 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: of them that I'm like, the one I'm most close with, 851 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: hit me up. I was like, you want to hang out? 852 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: And I was like all right, So they all come 853 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: over and we all chilling, and then it just, I 854 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: swear to God, it just turns and it breaks my 855 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: heart because I actually really funk with them. All my 856 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: other sexual experiences have been completely one thousand percent consensual. 857 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: But the one time I was like, you know what, 858 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm really not trying to be doing that ship with 859 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: y'all know more, they just took it in their own 860 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: hands and they raped me. Now, a lot of people 861 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: claim that you can't get raped by like someone you 862 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 1: know or someone you're letting your home. Wives can't get 863 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: raped by their husbands. You totally can know, well, the 864 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: wife's not getting raped by their husbands things. But there's 865 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 1: like stats show that most of most rapes actually occur 866 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: from people that no, no no, sorry not but you know, 867 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 1: but people you've had sex with. A lot of people 868 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: say that, like how can you say that you got raped? Yes, 869 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: can be considered rape. Sorry. People have used that again, 870 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: like in defense when they have been accused of rape, 871 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: like well I sued her before and that was the 872 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: So that was my challenge with the second rate, because 873 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: I was like, these things supposed to be my friends, 874 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: and actually most of them ended up apologizing in time. 875 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 1: I still don't know. So what was your second step 876 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: for this time? You said you did another rape kit? 877 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: So did another rape kit? I went to the hospital 878 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 1: right away. Again, my mom was super supportive and she 879 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,399 Speaker 1: never questioned me. So shout out to her that's um 880 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: got a rape kit. But I did not go to 881 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: the police because I was like, I'm not doing that 882 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: ship and I was so close to getting out of Boston. 883 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: What made you have to go to the hospital. You 884 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: have to if you're raped, you have to go. You 885 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: just have to get a DNA. The thing is, they 886 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: keep the DNA the rape kits for like six years 887 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: or something, So you ever changed your mine if you 888 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: want to pressure, if you want to press charges, okay. 889 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: So that's why I go, And that's why I tell everyone, 890 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: if you're ever rape, just get the rape kit and 891 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: have that ship sitting there because anytime you do want 892 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: to go for it, and you should, because I regret 893 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: not going for it. You regret not going forward to 894 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: the police in like present charges in a second time, 895 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 1: so I want to go in. This hierarchy really quit 896 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: more strengthen me. That I didn't realize at the time, 897 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: But now looking back, I'm like, I probably could have 898 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 1: pulled that shirt off. The nigger should have paid. All 899 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: of them are walking around now living their life, and 900 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: I know that should eat them up. And I know 901 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: they did that again. I'm sure that's what That's what 902 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: I was gonna go to, Like if they did it 903 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: with you and we're so comfortable and then just gave 904 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 1: you a sorry, like that's something that probably they've done 905 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: another time screen if you google rape culture pyramid. So 906 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: the reason I was so proud of you just a 907 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,760 Speaker 1: few weeks ago when we were in Seattle together, because 908 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: you had a situation that happened at work and I 909 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: I want to show you guys this pyramid. Will post 910 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 1: it on Horrible to sit Jan's. But the reason it's 911 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: so important is because you didn't press any charges on 912 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: the men that did something so fucking brutal and disgusting 913 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: to you, but you did take matters into your own 914 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 1: hands to what some people feel like is not a 915 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: big deal. So here's the pyramid. So um at the 916 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: top of the pyramid, there's it's like three different colors. 917 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,720 Speaker 1: There's rape, drugging, molestation, and UM for Mandy, which is funny, 918 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: you just brought that up. Stealthing, covert condom removal. It 919 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 1: is always and that's that's what happened to me. Um. 920 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 1: Oh wow. But and it's crazy because so well when 921 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: the thing happened to me on the train, So I 922 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: don't think I've mentioned too much of it on this episode. Actually, 923 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 1: maybe maybe I have brought it up. So I was 924 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: on the train coming home from work, um, and it 925 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: was an express train, and y'all know how these motherfucking 926 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: trains in New York get packed. And I go to 927 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: step off of the train. Mind you, I had I 928 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: had felt a guy bumping into me the whole way, 929 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: but we were still packed. There was nowhere to move, 930 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: so I was trying to put my purse behind me, 931 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 1: but there was just no room. And so the whole 932 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: time and I'm like, I feel this niggas dick is 933 00:45:58,239 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: getting hard, but I thought it was through his pain. 934 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: So I go to step out of the train and 935 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 1: this this nigga's whole dick is exposed. He had been 936 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 1: rubbing his dick on me the whole time I was 937 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: on the train. It was an older black guy on 938 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: top of that, so I like just felt super violated. 939 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: But that was in my mind, in my life, that 940 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: was the first time I had experienced, like, you know, 941 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: that type of rape. I guess would say to me 942 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: that was considered rape. So when we talk about the 943 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: condom removal from the guy who blindfolded me, I didn't 944 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,760 Speaker 1: even consider that rape. I felt violated, but I wouldn't 945 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 1: keep So, by the way, you all want to look 946 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 1: it up, it's type in rape culture pyramid. It says 947 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: eleventh principle of consent, so it goes by normalization, degradation, 948 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: and an assault at the top. So that was sexual 949 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,439 Speaker 1: assault you experienced, Mandy, So both are at the tops. 950 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: In the middle you have coortion, revenge, porn, groping, and 951 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: safe word violations. Towards the bottom, non consensual photos of 952 00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: video stalking, victim blaming, flashing, or exposing unsolicited dick picks. 953 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: Oh ship, that's want to touch cat calls. You'll be 954 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,240 Speaker 1: raping on INSTAGRAMA sending me all of them goddamn dicks. 955 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 1: But I don't want to see. Boys will be boys, 956 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,879 Speaker 1: rape jokes, and locker rooms. So our president is right 957 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:20,359 Speaker 1: towards our president the bottom. I'm not saying the one 958 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 1: with the locker room talk. People love to say, um, 959 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 1: but yeah, So every like right when you said you 960 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 1: were like, oh, that's not that big of you, I 961 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,360 Speaker 1: was like, I'm pretty sure that's Like, yeah, I didn't 962 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: even realize that that's crazy is when you look at 963 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: this pyramid, like everybody experiences this or even even like 964 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 1: like even women victim blaming and ship like that do 965 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,439 Speaker 1: this bullshit like everybody's in this pyramid. And I feel 966 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 1: like this is a time where everybody needs to become 967 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: better educated and really see if this is a people thing, 968 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,839 Speaker 1: because men should not just take advantage of any situation ever. 969 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: And I feel like it's mostly men because women do 970 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: have that ship too, but men, it's more often than not, 971 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 1: will take advantage, whether it's saying some ship or jumping 972 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: some ship off and even just trying to apologize just 973 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: to get away with it. But how you brought that up? 974 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you the female friends in your life, 975 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: your aunt's, your female cousins, at any point do you 976 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: feel like they did look at you like, well, you 977 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 1: did something wrong? Because as women, I feel like and 978 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,880 Speaker 1: that's why again we haven't had a certain guest on 979 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: the show because we don't really like the victim blaming 980 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: that even women put on other women. So what was 981 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: the response from other women in your life? That's a 982 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: great question. So my mom at first was like a 983 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 1: little shady and she was saying a little slick ship 984 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 1: like you a little bit about and I was it 985 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 1: was it was at a bad time in my eyes. 986 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 1: I was like, bitch, fuck you. I'm like, I'm not 987 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 1: taking that ship for me. And her use to bumpets. 988 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,439 Speaker 1: But then that totally changed. She don't do that no more. 989 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: Um I used to. In high school, like when all 990 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: that stuff was going on, I had some female friends 991 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 1: and they were just awful. They were spreading rumors about 992 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,320 Speaker 1: me and all this stuff. So I ended up cutting 993 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: them off. And I made a rule to myself, like 994 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,040 Speaker 1: if I'm really gonna heal and like become the woman 995 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,439 Speaker 1: that I've always wanted to become, which is this woman 996 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: sitting right here, I had to have good people in 997 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: my life, male or female, and I'm not taking no ships. 998 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:08,399 Speaker 1: So like, actually, when I hit or went to the 999 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: high school that had therapy in it, I had some 1000 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: really good female friends. This girl named a Tia. Actually 1001 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: she was super dope, but she always supported me and 1002 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 1: always believe me and never questioned me. And then when 1003 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 1: I went to Family, which is my first college, I 1004 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 1: had amazing female friends, some of which you know with 1005 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 1: Shylotte and stuff like I've had years after they all 1006 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 1: know what happened to me, and they never questioned me, 1007 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: and I just I just won't take no ship like 1008 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 1: if if I'm sure there there has been girls that 1009 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,320 Speaker 1: have to question me, but then I don't remember their names. 1010 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm not having them around I can't have in my space. 1011 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: And it was really important for me to get to 1012 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: a place where I wasn't thinking about it every day 1013 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: and then eventually not wearing that abuse because I used 1014 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 1: to just wear it like you could just look at 1015 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 1: me and just like I would talk about it like 1016 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 1: That's why it's still good easy for me to talk 1017 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 1: about it now because I've talked about it for years. 1018 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,680 Speaker 1: I used to tell everybody because that was how I healed. 1019 00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,919 Speaker 1: But I wanted to still get to a place where 1020 00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about this no more. And 1021 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 1: the only way I was gonna do that if I 1022 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: had good people around me to support me. What is 1023 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 1: the coping stage after? Like after so I don't know. 1024 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like I coped pretty well, and then 1025 00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 1: other times I feel like I probably could have did 1026 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 1: it better. Who knows, But I left Boston that was 1027 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 1: that was really stage one. Of like full on healing. Now, 1028 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: my my past did follow me like I have very 1029 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: bad habits and not very bad, but pretty bad habits 1030 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: in Florida, and I'll still fucking ain't ship niggas, and 1031 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But I also started to 1032 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: own it. So the reason I made it will be 1033 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,799 Speaker 1: like I'm like, I do what the funk I want 1034 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 1: to do, and I'm you know, i'll funk who I 1035 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: want to find, I'm with who I want to win. 1036 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 1: Is because I took what happened to me and just 1037 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,240 Speaker 1: like started to own my story. And I never shied 1038 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: away from my story if anyone asked me or if 1039 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: I'm talking about it, it's always been the same story. 1040 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 1: And I was just like, I own my ship. I 1041 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 1: also really appreciate you for part of healing admitting that 1042 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,400 Speaker 1: you had slept for these men before. I feel like 1043 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: that's a but I don't really talk about that story. 1044 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 1: Well I know, and I feel like that's a big 1045 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: deal because people sometimes think that like women are expecting 1046 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: a pity party, you know what I'm saying for for 1047 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: for stories like this, people think that that's what women want. 1048 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 1: So to sit there and say like, hey, I did 1049 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 1: sleep with these men before they were in my home 1050 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: because they let them in. But what happened to me 1051 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: is still wrong. Is a big deal, I agree, because 1052 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 1: what happened to is fucking brutal. Like not every time 1053 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 1: is there this situation where someone's like sleeping in the 1054 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 1: house and someone breaks in and rapes them, Like, what 1055 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 1: happened to you is still fucking wrong. There's another thing 1056 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: that I want to bring up to a lot of 1057 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,760 Speaker 1: people feel like promiscuity is deeply rooted with sexual trauma 1058 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: and this is just one story out of many and 1059 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: it's not connected. Um, you know, I interviewed someone that 1060 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,359 Speaker 1: barely has had one orgasm in her life, been raped, 1061 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: and has total issues with having sex, really has sex. 1062 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: Like everybody is differently, everyone does right way to react, 1063 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,799 Speaker 1: And it's not even the way you were open with 1064 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: constantly talking about it. You said that that was part 1065 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,919 Speaker 1: of your healing process. There's so many women. There's there's 1066 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot of women though that feel that shame and 1067 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: don't speak on it, And so a lot of them 1068 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 1: hold it in and harbor those feelings and emotions and 1069 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: don't really talk about talking out, whether it's with friends, 1070 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,240 Speaker 1: the therapist, their parents. It's something that they keep inside, 1071 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: which a lot of times I think, and you talk 1072 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,839 Speaker 1: a lot on mental health um on on the friend zone, 1073 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it just has to 1074 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: do with when you harbor those things mentally. It sucks 1075 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: you up way more than just releasing. It eats at you. 1076 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: It really does. I encourage anyone going through anything. You 1077 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 1: don't have to be sexual trying to be anything. You 1078 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 1: could be mad at somebody, right, magic friend, you gotta 1079 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 1: talk about that ship, Yeah, you have to. You have 1080 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: to so somebody to talk about. Be somebody that can 1081 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 1: listen to judgment. So if you have questions asked, you're 1082 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, make sure you listen. Like I feel 1083 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,879 Speaker 1: like we've tossed the judgment now real quick before we listen. 1084 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 1: Um we brought this up. We brought up the pyramid 1085 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,800 Speaker 1: because I wanted to talk about something that was towards 1086 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 1: the bottom stage. But you took a very big action on. 1087 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I have time for HOMEO, but 1088 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: let's see how long this goes. Can you talk about 1089 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: the work scenario that happen so just for I want 1090 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 1: to give I like to give context. So we stopped 1091 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 1: when I was at FAM. If we fast forward, I 1092 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: had a kid, I'm grown, and I've actually not had 1093 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 1: any well, looking at this pyramid, I had plenty of that, 1094 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: but like but like assault, I haven't been assaulted or 1095 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: tried or anything like that for years. So I can 1096 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,839 Speaker 1: say that get to work and I have a quote 1097 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 1: unquote work husband. UM just meaning that I was close 1098 00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 1: with someone and if I had a bad day, I 1099 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,319 Speaker 1: would go to him. We go to lunch together, you know, 1100 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Just really cool and I really like 1101 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 1: I enjoyed. We enjoyed each other's friendship. Chah. I am 1102 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 1: sleep one day because I've in party all summer because 1103 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 1: my son was like camp, so need a break. So 1104 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 1: I'm sleep and it's like eight o'clock. He's blown. He 1105 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 1: called me, called me twice, and no one from where 1106 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 1: ever calls me, not even him after four because don't 1107 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: call me. Um, So I don't, and he leaves a voicemail. 1108 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,399 Speaker 1: So this is this is key because you come into 1109 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,839 Speaker 1: play for this. But I don't look man, I don't 1110 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 1: listen to the voicemail right away. Um he texted him. 1111 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: He calls me, He's like, what are you doing when 1112 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:31,839 Speaker 1: you get up with drinking on the party or whatever. 1113 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm tired, I need to get some air whatever. 1114 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 1: So I go get some air.

But when I 1291 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 1: worked there UM, I was very uncomfortable with the manager. UM. 1292 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 1: A lot of the bartenders and a lot of girls 1293 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,040 Speaker 1: were fucking the staff to get more days on the schedule. 1294 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,080 Speaker 1: And it started to be to where we had to 1295 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 1: be at the club at a certain time, and I 1296 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,400 Speaker 1: would normally come early and do my makeup and stuff. 1297 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,240 Speaker 1: But when I was alone in the club, he would 1298 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 1: invite me to his office and he would try to 1299 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 1: rub or stuff got my tits, and he's he propositioned 1300 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 1: me for sex multiple times. When you're in the clubs, 1301 01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: this happens a lot. And it got to the point 1302 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 1: where I started going to work on purposely late because 1303 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 1: I knew other girls would be there, so maybe he 1304 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't ask me to go into the office with him alone. 1305 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,040 Speaker 1: And then it just got to the point where I 1306 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 1: was just like, I stopped even caring if I was 1307 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 1: on the schedule or not. And because I wasn't making 1308 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 1: those advances with him, I know other girls were. And 1309 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:26,640 Speaker 1: so to even be in a space where it's like 1310 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,680 Speaker 1: my my money, me making money, and me being on 1311 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 1: the schedule is determined upon if I let you play 1312 01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 1: with me or not. And I think a lot of 1313 01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 1: men in your saying it was him saying it, but 1314 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: I think a lot of men even use their power 1315 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 1: in the workspace to make you feel uncomfortable. And so 1316 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,560 Speaker 1: I've experienced that working in the clubs, and I hate it. 1317 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,240 Speaker 1: It's even the power and the fact that he can 1318 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,080 Speaker 1: still come to work and look at you like you're 1319 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 1: a piece of ship. When he when he did something 1320 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,200 Speaker 1: like I'm so confused, like it would be okay if 1321 01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 1: he would have come up to you and be like 1322 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:57,919 Speaker 1: and sincerely, be like, look, I'm sorry about the coming 1323 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,680 Speaker 1: a man about your breast him but he looking at 1324 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,479 Speaker 1: you here this bit like, oh my god, I know, 1325 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:04,960 Speaker 1: like I can't believe this new bit. And let me 1326 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:06,360 Speaker 1: tell you something. So we had this thing. We had 1327 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 1: some corporate board meeting and um, I got an award 1328 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 1: for you know, reaching quota blah blah blah. And the 1329 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,560 Speaker 1: next word was him and I was like the back 1330 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 1: to up. Everybody knew how the problem with it, and 1331 01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 1: lips turned up. I looked like the black beach at 1332 01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 1: the office. I don't give a funk because now you 1333 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,560 Speaker 1: want to put you want to make me feel like that. 1334 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 1: Oh I'm gonna do any of thing please. I was 1335 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,560 Speaker 1: so fucking awkward. I was in the office and it 1336 01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,040 Speaker 1: was hot, right the a c went on on the 1337 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 1: left side of office, and he was near the lunch room. 1338 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 1: Somebody's like, oh, I'm burning up. I said, well, God forbid, 1339 01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 1: I take off this sweater, right. I mean, well, but 1340 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,720 Speaker 1: before we wrap up with this conversation, because we all 1341 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 1: have experienced this in different ways, UM, I guess I 1342 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,080 Speaker 1: want to leave off by all of us, maybe giving 1343 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,880 Speaker 1: a little note of advice or a tip if someone 1344 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 1: is currently experiencing this, whether it's at the workplace, or 1345 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 1: whether they don't know how to heal with their sexual 1346 01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,440 Speaker 1: trauma and they haven't spoken it. What would be a 1347 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 1: bit of advice that you would give to any of 1348 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 1: the listeners who have experienced anything that we talked about today. 1349 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: Great question, Um, definitely talk about it. Get that ship 1350 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,040 Speaker 1: off of your chest. I used many different forms. It 1351 01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,959 Speaker 1: wasn't just talking um to like friends. I had therapists. 1352 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: I journaled a ton, I got books, okay, um, and 1353 01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 1: I used music as well to like kind of free myself. UM, 1354 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,000 Speaker 1: a lot of ease music. Because you talked about that, 1355 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,400 Speaker 1: So just get it off your chest. It will eat 1356 01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:30,560 Speaker 1: you up and it's not fair. But also I just 1357 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 1: want to say that you can go through the words. 1358 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:38,880 Speaker 1: I went through hell and I'm fine. Right, that's the 1359 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 1: best advice, Like, you'll be fine. It's just gonna take 1360 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: a second by second, and then a minute by minute, 1361 01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 1: and an hour by hour and then a year by year. 1362 01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 1: You gave me that advice one day when I was 1363 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,560 Speaker 1: going through my depression. She was like, look, you're gonna 1364 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: take it minute by a minute right now. She's like, 1365 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,480 Speaker 1: but then it's gonna be an hour and then it's 1366 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a day. And that is so true that 1367 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 1: I like that. What about you say, do you have 1368 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 1: any advice? I just want to have a call to 1369 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: action for all the men out there, or I mean, 1370 01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 1: it's different for same sex, so like I could give 1371 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 1: out that advice, but I don't really feel like they're 1372 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 1: listening to y'all show so far. So far the straight 1373 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 1: men out there. Make sure that you are in it's 1374 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,040 Speaker 1: sex is consensual between two people. Make sure the person 1375 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: you're having sex with is into it. By taking something 1376 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 1: from somebody that's not gonna make it any more pleasurable, 1377 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,680 Speaker 1: it's actually gonna make your ship for the rest of 1378 01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 1: your life. So that karma is real. And I think 1379 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 1: that we all need to help each other more and 1380 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,959 Speaker 1: stop being so judgmental, because I hate seeing this trend 1381 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 1: of rape culture, like oh well, what did she have on? 1382 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 1: And all that all the times follow up questions should 1383 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,480 Speaker 1: not be follow ups at all, and it sucks that 1384 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,760 Speaker 1: it's so normal for all that should Like, it's normal 1385 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: for this man to be able to come back to work, 1386 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 1: like not to say he needed to lose his job, 1387 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 1: but he shouldn't even be able to look at you 1388 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 1: and get away with looking at you like that after job. 1389 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 1: Either we're talking about my birst, I don't. I don't, 1390 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 1: I mean, but the fact that me and y'all know 1391 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: how vocal I am. I even so it said to 1392 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,880 Speaker 1: this woman, you know what, I'm too new here. I'm 1393 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,520 Speaker 1: not trying to make people feel sensitive. I don't want 1394 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,320 Speaker 1: for them. I just want to do my job real good. 1395 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 1: And I feel like I shouldn't do this. Who has 1396 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,800 Speaker 1: a podcast? If I was gonna say that was gonna 1397 01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: be my advice is And it's something that you brought 1398 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 1: up to. I think we as women need to focus 1399 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,240 Speaker 1: on ourselves and not give a funk how this is 1400 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 1: going to affect the next person. I think that it's 1401 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 1: important that you look for self self worth and how 1402 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 1: you feel and how it's going to affect the long run. 1403 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,920 Speaker 1: Instead of worried about if he loses his job, or 1404 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,919 Speaker 1: what his friends are gonna think, or what anyone's gonna 1405 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: think about that person, you need to focus on yourself. 1406 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what. For me, it was more 1407 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,320 Speaker 1: so like I know for a fact in that office 1408 01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,640 Speaker 1: that I don't want a few women won, my age, 1409 01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 1: my ethnicity, all of it, and all I could think 1410 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,280 Speaker 1: is if I do this, they're not gonna hire another girl. 1411 01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: That scared me because as a feminist, I'm worried about 1412 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,480 Speaker 1: every fucking move bym make in the office because I 1413 01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 1: know for a fact if I'm good. I had someone 1414 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 1: tell me to my face, my boss my last job, 1415 01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, I've never hired a girl before you, And 1416 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: he was like, honestly, and he was like, you are 1417 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 1: the reason that we have this new girl on the team. 1418 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 1: You are the only one who gave me faith in women, 1419 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 1: Like well, the equality will come from saying something because 1420 01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 1: like but on the other end, because but now, because 1421 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,800 Speaker 1: now you normalize in the pattern, nobody like, I see 1422 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 1: what you're saying. But because I thought I internalized that 1423 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 1: is if I'm doing good at my job, that's some 1424 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: trash for him to even say this is when as 1425 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 1: a woman, as a woman, he's saying it. But what 1426 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 1: if someone was like, I ain't never hired black people before, 1427 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,679 Speaker 1: but now I'm gonna hire you to hire blood. Listen 1428 01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 1: to when he said that to me, I really believed 1429 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 1: that is what affected me from not talking about what 1430 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 1: happened at work. I thought about what he said to me, 1431 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 1: and I said, you know what that one person said 1432 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 1: that to my face? What does that mean if I 1433 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,200 Speaker 1: tell about what this dude didn't work, we don't speak 1434 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,880 Speaker 1: up as well. You're letting You're literally allowing the doors 1435 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,640 Speaker 1: to be open for somebody, for other women, And to me, 1436 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:02,679 Speaker 1: that was worth more and being worried about the potential hiring. 1437 01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 1: There's got to be someone else in this office, you know. 1438 01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,719 Speaker 1: The moment I said something that work, I was freed 1439 01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: everything Like I was stressed out my buy her, I 1440 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 1: was franky in the moment I told her, and she 1441 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 1: and he was fired, which that was her decision.
