1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Coming up. Keep it positive, sweetie.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: My question was like, yo, what is my real purpose?

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: Same thing?

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 3: Like, you know, with the talent and everything that I

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 3: pour in to be the best that I could be,

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 3: why are not you know, put up.

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Here in the light?

8
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: And then you know, for me to clarity was.

9
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you're not supposed to be in the

10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: light because you are the light.

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

12
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Yes, this episode is sponsored by Better Health. Hey, sweeties,

13
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: there is so much stigma centered around therapy, whether it's stress, sadness, words,

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: or relationship issues. There's a shame that is attached with

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: it when there really shouldn't be. I initially started therapy

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: during the pandemic because this was the first time I

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: actually got to sit with myself. With a hustle and

18
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: bustle of life. We can suppress so much and often

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: neglect getting the help that we need. When I first

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: tried therapy, I didn't feel any mental clarity or that

21
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: it was working. But that was because I was not

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: being honest with my therapist. Once I found the right

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: license therapist for me and I was honest, my world

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: completely changed. If you're like me and you know you

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: need to talk to someone but don't know where to start.

Speaker 1: So I was just I was literally blown away. I

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: was just like this because you're so like till, your

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: demeanor super chillul. When you hit that stage, the other

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: personality comes out.

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: I was like, like, who was that?

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,359

Speaker 3: I grew up shy, really busy, say have talent shows,

62
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: and my mom will always try to get me in it.

63
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: I was Paula Abdul one time you hearing the Cat, Yeah,

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: I was the cat and I was supposed to I

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: got on stage.

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: I was like, absolutely not.

67
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: But my mom like she's really into that. Like she's

68
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: the youngest of thirteen kids, so she's the fun one.

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: So every family union she was Tina Turner Wow, and

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: I had to be her backup ground dancer. So we

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: watch Tina Turner study the videos, the movements every year

72
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: and that's where I learned to like really perform like she.

73
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: She's the beginning of that for me. Wow, She'll have moms.

74
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: I love it.

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: But I mean I think like I was in La

76
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: last night and the homies were like you, you are

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: so confident. And I think because I've gone through this

78
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: healing phase and I love myself more and I'm more

79
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: secure in myself, I can be more free on stage

80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: to allow people to see all parts of me.

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Wow, I want to talk about that because I just

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: recently went through a healing stage where I feel more

83
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: comfort with my own skin. I know who I am.

84
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: Nobody can tell me who I am anymore. You know

85
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: a lot of times you're like, well, who do you

86
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: say I am? Like, okay, okay, this is cool. No,

87
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: Like I know what I like, what I don't like?

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 1: What was that transition like through that healing phase?

89
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: Yes, doing a healing phase, man, you really have to

90
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: sit with yourself and be honest with yourself. Forgive yourself

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: for some things, for not taking care of yourself and

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: not speaking up for yourself. Because I think I had

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: put myself in situations that you know, left me in

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: a bad place, trying to be there for other people,

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: trying to be that thing for other people, and you

96
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: go home and mentally like it's so much.

97
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: You're not happy, You're.

98
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: Carrying a lot, and you have to learn, like I

99
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: have to affirm myself, like I can't let this world

100
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: do it. I can't, you know, look for the validation.

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: I can't be sad if I don't get a certain

102
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: you know, like let the ego part go. And I

103
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 3: just had to learn to be happy with me. Whatever

104
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: is for me is for me. Like I'm not trying

105
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: to make y'all happy. I'm trying to make me happy.

106
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: And I think once I understood that, it just fell

107
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: into place. But it was a journey, like you know,

108
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: it's not easier. It's not a lot of crying, a

109
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: lot of solitude, like I ain't want to talk to nobody.

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: It was during the pandemic, so that was a rough

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 3: time for everybody. Yeah, I didn't turn the TV on.

112
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: I hardly watch TV. Like my one of my best

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: friends BYAKA loves.

114
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: You Love Yeah, I love her Like you ain't seen.

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: Sisters, I said, I haven't watched TV like that in

116
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: four years.

117
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I don't know what it is, but it's

118
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: just like I just had everything felt like fantasy illusion

119
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: and you in the music.

120
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: Industry on top of that, Yeah, it's a lot.

121
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: You know, they tell you these things are real, but

122
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: you realize that's not the reality of the world. So

123
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 3: I was just sitting with a lot and shitting with

124
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 3: a lot and I had to learn my own truth

125
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: and reality.

126
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, I love that because so many times, like

128
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: know that you had to deal with something like that.

129
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: And we all have our own journeys, things that we're

130
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: trying to figure out. Shit we're trying to work through.

131

136
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: it's like those times, and there's times where they don't

137
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: understand when you're in the light and you're pushed out

138
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: there so much, you need those moments by yourself.

139
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

140
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,880

Speaker 1: your star continued to rise, like did that play a

142
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: part in like, this is a lot. I need to

143
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: figure this out. Did you feel that heaviness in that weight?

144
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: Not so much.

145
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: I'm talking about this earlier, like I'm I'm still I

146
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: don't feel like I'm that famous where it's it's that

147
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: much pressure for me.

148
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: I put London, they know who you are.

149
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: You were wide.

150
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?

151
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: You were wide?

00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: Okay, they won world wide, but ID like they was like.

153
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: You can't buy yourself.

154
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: I was like, here, I try to travel myself a lot,

155
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: you know, and I think I put more pressure on

156
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: myself than anything because I feel like I have to

157
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: check all these boxes off to be successful. And it's

158
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: really not that. It's like I wake up and I

159
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: get to do what I love every day. I'm happy,

160
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: I'm at peace, I could eat. I like food me too.

161
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: The only one thing I need more money because I

162
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: like expensive clothes.

163
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: You know.

164
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: I want to try to go thrift to and all that,

165
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: but I just have attraction too expensive clothes.

166
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 5: No.

167
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Literally, when I'm online shopping, I was like, ooh, I

168
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: love it. It's like five thousand dollars, but of course

169
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: it's five thousand dollars. Why is my eye drawn.

170
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: To that that is me.

171
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: I'm just like you know, I don't need a big house,

172
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: I don't need five cars.

173
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: I just need a call of it full of fly

174
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: cloth happy. So you know, I had to learn.

175
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: Those things like you think, you know in my profession anyway,

176
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: like you gotta get the Grammy, need my BT Awards,

177
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: need the NAAC, you know, like and it's like, yo,

178
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: you just gotta touch people at the end of the day,

179
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: you know. And that's why this tour has been like

180
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: I tell people it's my place of peace because in healings,

181
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 3: it's not linear, right right, like I have my days,

182
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: whereas there was some day on this tour, I did

183
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: a lot of crime. Really yeah, like frustrated, like you know,

184
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: just reverting back. And it was the shows Meet and Greece,

185
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 3: like you know, people affirming you.

186
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: Like the stories I heard.

187
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: You know that can feel like it could be weight,

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: but I don't make it. Wait, Like one of the

189
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: girl told me, she was like, You're the reason I'm

190
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 3: still here today. Like you know, you go, we go

191
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: in and I write through lived experiences and I look

192
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: at the but we make this music and you never

193
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: know where it's gonna go. And how it's gonna affect

194
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: people until you meet these people. Like that was just

195
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: one story. Another lady was like, my baby was born

196
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 3: with half a heart and the only way I was

197
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: able to get through her surgeries was listening to your

198
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: song Faith. It was just so many things. Another guy

199
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: like my mom was murdered and you know, and it's

200
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: just like, Okay, none of the other stuff matters. It's

201
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: great to be acknowledged for your work, but it's it's

202
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: always the people. So I'm thankful for this tour because

203
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: it keeps me centered.

204
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, no, I know exactly what you mean, because

205
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty new to this, you know, to starving celebrity.

206
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: It's maybe about four years, but as a like one

207
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: inspiring actor and wanting to like just be at the top,

208
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: Like I got caught up in that, like dang, like

209
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: why hasn't our show gotten any awards? And like we're

210
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: number one? You see the numbers. You know what I'm saying,

211
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Like I got caught up in like wanting the accolades.

212
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: And then I also always wonder why I are never

213
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: worried about that because you look back and you see

214
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: all the people that you've touched, What are you really

215
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: here for what is the mission? And I was like,

216
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: got it? You know, And I think for me, acting

217
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: was a vessel to get the notoriety to do this

218
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: because the amount of people that I reach on a

219
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: more personal level, on a more level where it's like

220
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: you saved my life or it's because of you that

221
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm still living like you.

222
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 2: I don't look at it as a weight.

223
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: It's a blessing and an honor to be able to

224
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: tell my story and be honest and transparent that I

225
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: can help people. So I told it, I get it

226
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: because I was like that too. I was like, dang,

227
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: why ain't got this? And like the industry would make

228
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: you feel like, oh, you ain't doing nothing.

229
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: They will and things have changed so much, like it's

230
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: just different. You know, everything is about numbers and that

231
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 3: can be the illusion of it. It's not so much

232
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 3: about talent and the image of things. So you know,

233
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: when that changes, we have to change with it, you

234
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: know what we look at.

235
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: But the people are all They're going to keep us

236
00:10:59,559 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: here for us.

237
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 6: That will.

238
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: Like I was telling somebody, I took my mushroom.

239
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: Like that was my that was my you know, they say,

240
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: ask just there's a question that you want to have answer,

241
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 3: you may have your answer when you have that type

242
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: of clarity.

243
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 6: Wow.

244
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: And my question was like, yo, what is my real purpose?

245
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: Same thing, like, you know, with the talent and everything

246
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: that I pour into be the best that I could be?

247
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: Why are not you know, put up here in the light?

248
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: And then you know, for me, the clarity was, you know,

249
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: sometimes you're not supposed to be in the light because

250
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: you are the light.

251
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Yes you are.

252
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: And I was with my homeboy, Niko Brahm, who's my artist,

253
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: and he's like, your rap, you gotta understand. He was like,

254
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: you know, like you don't know like how much many

255
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: people look at you. It's like it's like you want

256
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: an unbeaten path.

257
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: You just got a machete and you should shoo shoo

258
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: shoow so.

259
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: We can walk behind you. And I was like, damn,

260
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: I appreciate that perspective. And I was, and I you know,

261
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: I thought, I was like, but so many people have

262
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: cleared the path for me, and I had to think, like,

263
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: but it's been untended to yes, so yeah, the weeds

264
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: have grown up yea, So now you have to go

265
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: in and be that and you know that was that

266
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: was my clarity.

267
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Wow, I love that. That is beautiful Navigate. I did

268
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: music too. I'm working on some music now. But when

269
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: I first moved to Atlanta, I was working on music,

270
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: and as a woman in the industry, it was really

271
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: hard for me because it's such a male dominated industry

272
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: and when you're do anybody yourself. I was really like

273
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: just working relationships, trying to figure it out. What has

274
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: been your path working in this industry.

275
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: I can say mine has been blessed. You know.

276
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 3: I've heard some horse story, yeah, and you know, the

277
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: industry getting a bad rap. I don't think everybody's experiences

278
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: like that. I'm not saying mine was all good. You know,

279
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: anything you want to have, it's gonna be challenged, absolutely.

280
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: But I came up under ninth wondering young gul Wow,

281
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: and I could say in the early stages of my career,

282
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: the men really looked out for me.

283
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: You know.

284
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: They were the first two that saw my talent, that

285
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: poured into me, that told me I could do it.

286
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: Because being from where I'm from, like a small town

287
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: in snow Hill, North Carolina, for me, I never had

288
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: exposure to that type of success to be able to

289
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: think like I never had anybody I could look to

290
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: touch same you know what I'm saying.

291
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: I was like, I want to do that. I have

292
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: no idea how you know.

293
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 3: So they were the first ones, but they protected me.

294
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: Like the first thing they sat down and told me was,

295
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: before you do anything in this industry, before you get

296
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: in the booth and record a song, I want you

297
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: to define your line. The line you will not cross,

298
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: you will not lose yourself over. They made me do

299
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: that before anything, since I had to sit and know

300
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: who I was first, and a lot of artists asked

301
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: me for advice. I said, before you do anything, you

302
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: have to ask yourself, who am I? What do I

303
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: want to do in this business? That'll answer all the

304
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: questions of how you moved from now? And we just

305
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: moved with intention like that organic, authentic everything that we

306
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: had like it was off organic relationships, like just building

307
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: with people. I got nothing easy. I had to learn

308
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: every bit I had. I wouldn't want it any other. No,

309
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 3: you know anything easy, you lose it easy? Yeah, I

310
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: say that, And you know there are some challenges, like

311
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 3: you know, as a woman, I had to work ten

312
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: times harder coming up in the era that I did.

313
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: You know, it was early two thousands, so it was like,

314
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: you know, the late nineties, early two thousands, a woman

315
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: image and hip hop change, you know, yep. And so

316
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: it was like finding our way back into that. And

317
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: I felt like I had such a hard fight with them,

318
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: you know. And it wasn't about the sexual image to me,

319
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: it was all about the talent. I didn't have a

320
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: strong sisterhood village at that time, right, Like, I'm so

321
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: excited to see so many women now and to see

322
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: like their friends.

323
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's so dope.

324
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: I didn't get that experience, know, so the God Kendrick

Speaker 3: held me down, Big crit held me down, Yeah, held

326
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: me down. Nipsey held me down. Like the guys really

327
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: looked out for me. So you know that's but otherwise

328
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: it was just it was just really hustle. I just

329
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: put my head down.

330
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

332
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,000

Speaker 3: I was chunky there, you fat, You'll never make it.

334
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,520

335
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: too black, like it's just thing a thing, and a

336
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: lot of it from the early beginnings was from black

337
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: women and that, you know, I remember that that was

338
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: probably the hardest way that I had to like but

Speaker 1: That's beautiful And it warns my heart to hear that

418
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of times I feel like in our culture,

419
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: especially in our in our society, we don't see that

420
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: in the black community. Yeah, just like you said, there

421
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: was when you were sit hearing these comments. It was

422
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: mainly from women that look like you and like, so

423
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: it feels really good to know that, like we're checking

424
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: on each other, doing those check ins because is important.

425
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, because they can see you on stage and

426
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: I know you're hurting when you go into the dressing room.

427
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 3: Boy, you know, I'm trying to tell you. Some days

428
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: I'll be like, yeah, they knew how it started my day.

429
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Baby.

430
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: Oh.

431
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: I had a moment like that one few seasons ago.

432
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: It was an episode with even Marcel and I was

433
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: in my closet just like trying to cry and trying

434
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: to get it together and got on the sofa and

435
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: I literally was like she said something and I just

436
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: lost it and I was like, if you knew what

437
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: I was going through before I wiped those series off,

438
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: like hey, you would be like what you know? And

439
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: they don't see that. They don't. So it's always good

440
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: to have good people to check on you. Yep, check

441
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: on your strong friends. I know people hear that and

442
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: things cliche, but seriously, check on your strong friends.

443
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: And it could be just as simple as just sitting

444
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: a note yep, Like I just randomly check somebody like

445
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: create a great day, breathe easy, Yeah, ooh I love that.

446
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, sent me one day at random, like I declare.

447
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: She had like twelve things to declare that day and

448
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: I was just like, my saving. So it's just things

449
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: like that. But we got to get back to community.

450
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: We've gotten so far away from community.

451
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

452
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we were build on, you know, like

453
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: looking out for each other and making sure you heard them.

454
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 3: I'm about to go, I'm about to be random. Heard

455
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 3: of this term called ekey guy.

456
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: So it's based on this small island in Japan where

457
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 2: the oldest people live, and it's like, why do they

458
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: live so long, and they practice this thing called ekey

459
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: guy and it's living within your purpose. And so the

460
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: whole community they walk a lot every day, they eat

461
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: like a lot of rice, they only eat to eight

462
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: percent full. But I thought it was so dope that if.

463
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: Someone in the village and everybody has to get a

464
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: job in their purpose that makes them happy.

465
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: You have to do things that make you enjoy.

466
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: But if somebody loses their job, they're about having those

467
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: stress in life. So the community take care take care

468
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 3: of that person until they get back on their feet.

469
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 2: Wow.

470
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: And I just think about, like if it's all operated

471
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: from that place.

472
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I like that. Yeah, that is

473
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: maybe you should like kind of create like a space

474
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: for that, yeah, just to get people's minds in that space,

475
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: like you know what. Yeah, we should like continue to

476
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: support each other and help each other. Yeah, I love that.

477
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: I recently went to Costa Rica won the five blue

478
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: zones where people live the longest. Now I feel it's

479
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: probably like one because there is one I feel like

480
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: in Japan as well. It may be the place. Yeah,

481
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: because where I went to the people they grew their

482
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: own food, They hiked every morning and like they did

483
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: the cold plunges in the natural river did the hot

484
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: plunge in the natural like they had different spaces. But

485
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: these people lived to be over one hundred years and

486
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: even cooking for their families was a way to show

487
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: love and to exercise.

488
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: Same, yes, the same. Yeah we got the cold.

489
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah right, we so far gone to America. It's like,

490
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: but I won't chick fil a. Now. You told me

491
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: earlier that you are now vegan, and I told you

492
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: seeking on about longevity. I told you about my v journey.

493
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: Don't do what I did.

494
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: So when I was vigan, I was vegan for about

495
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: two years. Shout out Luke James. He actually inspired me

496
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: to go vegan a few years ago. This is probably

497
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: like maybe was it five years ago?

498
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 6: Geese?

499
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Around five years ago? I did for two years.

500
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: What did he do with that? Inspired you?

501
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: He was vegan. This's when he was filming Star and

502
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: I did a Thanksgiving like a friend's giving, but he

503
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: was like, I'm vegan. I was like great, So now

504
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: I got to figure out vegan Thanksgiving as well as

505
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: the normal southern thingsgiving. So I did it, and I tried,

506
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this isn't half bad. I

507
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: was like, I can do this stuff. I can still

508
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: have what tastes like what I want. So they had

509
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: like vegan turkey, vegan mac and cheese, the sweet Tata

510
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: cast a role all the things. I was like, okay,

511
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: even the stuffing didn't have milk in it, so it worked.

512
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: So I was like, I could do this. So I

513
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: stuck with it. My cramps and everything went it way

514
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: cause I had like really bad cramps for my minstrel

515
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: and I was like I can do this until they

516
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: ordered them JR cricket wings. That broke it baby loud.

517
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I was like, just give me one that

518
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: was a red scratch like a little cracker. I was like

519
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: giving one of the waing's, so I would chew the

520
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: wing and spin it out just like it. I thought

521
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: that you girl, they were makeing like you gotta fake began.

522
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: I said, I'm a flancetarian. That's why I did not

523
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: go in my body the juices.

524
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: I got it.

525
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 6: I got that fix.

526
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,600

00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: just one pill a day, and I'm like he did so.

640
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: Much just shaging our diet, you know, like how bad

641
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: our food is. Like my dad is diabetic too, that

642
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: runs on his side of the family. So it was

643
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: something too. But like I remember, like before I went

648
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: Traveling is so hard, you know, because I don't know

649
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,440

673
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm not really educated.

674
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: On I haven't.

675
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: Mister Elliott has it. It's an autoimmune disease, your thyroid.

676
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: It's a butterfly shaped organ that sits right over.

677
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: I just learned about that. The shape of it.

678
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: Doctor, She's like, it's like, yeah, butterfly got like a

679
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: bowtie kind of yeah. It's like a bull time and

680
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: it creates a hormone. It's like the thermostat for your body.

681
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: Creatures your body temperature, me and metabolism, you know, your

682
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: mind sometimes Like it's it's a lot of part of

683
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: the human body that it affects. So I got diagnosed

684
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: in two thousand and nine. I was hyper so I

685
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: was creating too much of a certain horn. My metabolism

686
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: shot up. I could eat anything, and I was still

687
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: like one ten. What Yeah, I got down to one.

688
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: I hadn't been one ten since I was fourteen years old. Like,

689
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: you know, my eyes bulged yep, Like at one point

690
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: I thought I wanted surgery just to get them back

691
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: to normal, but you know, they've gone down. And so

692
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: I had to have radioactive iodine treatments and one didn't

693
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: work for me.

694
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: I had to have three, which is super rare.

695
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: And so now I'm hypo, which means I don't create

696
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: enough for the home, right. I have very slow metabolism,

697
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: which tired brain fall. It can affect your memory, your joints.

698
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: Like I was cold all the time and neemic, so

699
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: all these things. But once I did that clean and

700
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 3: started eating vegan, I was just like, I haven't felt.

701
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: This good in a long time.

702
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: Health as well, it is, yeah, and I'm glad that

703
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: you were smart enough to be like, hey, let me

704
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: go get this checked out because something's not right. Because

705
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: a lot of times we let things just fly because

706
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: we can still move around. I'm good, I'm good, but

707
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: you know something isn't right. You have to trust listen

708
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: and listen to your body. Yes.

709
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's crazy, like I knew I knew someone

710
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: to write just from the weight loss.

711
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: I threw up one day. I never get sick, yeah,

712
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: but I went to three or four doctors and they

713
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: all were like nothing's wrong with you.

714
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 3: Nothing's wrong with you. I woke up one day and

715
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: my eyes had were bulging. Or my brother looked at me.

716
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 3: He was like, why your throat so big?

717
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: Right?

718
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: And I had to develop on a small quarterer And

719
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: my brother was the one that was like, wow, you

720
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 3: got a quarter and that's how they figured out what

721
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: was wrong.

722
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm glad. Your brother was like, hey, sis, yeah,

723
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean he was looking at reading a joke for sure, right.

724
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, but you you know, like our healthcare system,

725
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 3: especially with black people, and.

726
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: That's why you said they sent four people. It was like, oh,

727
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: you're fine, you're.

728
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: Finding wrong with you, Like you know, I guess we

729
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: superhuman out of this face, Like that's what that thing

730
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: bothers us. So yeah, we have to listen to our

731
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: body and demand and go back and go back. Like

732
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: I watched my mom deal with that for almost twenty years.

733
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

734
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: And I look back and I tell her all the time,

735
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 3: I wish that we were more supportive, you know, of

736
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: how you were feeling and what you were going through.

737
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: Doctor, doctor, doctor.

738
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 3: Doctor would be like, yo, the doctor said, nothing's wrong,

739
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 3: and she's like, no, something something's wrong, Yes, right, so yeah,

740
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: it was.

741
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: It was a good reminder.

742
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that the police don't cry

743
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: to her. I got to see this live, and what

744
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm seeing is like, this is one of your most

745
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: trans your most transparent albums. What inspired this? And like,

746
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: what made you say? You know what, I'm really going

747
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: to just put it out there.

748
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 3: I wanted to grow in that way. I wanted to

749
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: have a better connection with my fans. You know, we

750
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: sometimes in our process of like, yo, why aren't I

751
00:34:58,640 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: more well received?

752
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: Right?

753
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: And it's always a self I try to be self

754
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 3: reflective with it and not projected out on other people.

755
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 3: And it was like, Okay, maybe you make it too

756
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 3: hard for people to break down your lyrics. It's you're

757
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: so lyrical. That's why in the beginning it was heavy

758
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 3: men fan based, when women like we operate sometimes for

759
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: more emotionals. Yeah, and you know, I don't people don't

760
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 3: want to think like they think all day at work,

761
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 3: so I don't want to think too hard to break

762
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 3: down all these lyrics. So it's just like, you know,

763
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 3: I'm already in this healing phase and for me, when

764
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 3: you do music, it should be a snapshot of your life.

765
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: So you're already in this space, like just documented. But

766
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: it was scary to put out, like I'm a private person.

767
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: Very girl don't know except for your music. I was like,

768
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: this girl is like under the radar.

769
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: Like and when I thought like I was sharing things

770
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 3: with my music, I realized, like, no, you were hiding

771
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: the thing so deep in your lyrics, and it was

772
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 3: because you were afraid for people to see you like

773
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: I was. You know, I tell people like, I'm at

774
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: the space now. I even want to go by my

775
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: real name because I don't need rhaps City anymore. She

776
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 3: was a protection from Marlana.

777
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 2: Wow what I'm saying, Like.

778
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 3: I understand where I was, you know, like I talk

779
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 3: about a lot of things on the album, talk about abortion,

780
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: I talk about, you know, having a relationship with a

781
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: married man, my first experience, my one time experience with

782
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: a woman, like it's you know, Alzheimer's, you know, family,

783
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 3: you know the hard times that I go through personally

784
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 3: with the music industry. You know, I'm gonna show up always,

785
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: and you know you talk like loving let anybody see

786
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: your car, see your weakness, so you.

787
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: Know, but at home, like you say, like we're going

788
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: through things.

789
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 3: So it was like, the only way you can have

790
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 3: a better connection with people is they have to see

791
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 3: that you're human, you know.

792
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 2: And it took my friends circle to get me there.

793
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, like two two three. Really, Misa Hilton was one

794
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: of my friend Rayna Biddy, who's a poet that's annihilate

795
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: than you know. During that phase, they were like my guys.

796
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 3: They taught me so much about self reflection, about manipulation,

797
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 3: about fear, and I had a lot of unlearning to

798
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: do and relearning. But you know, it was a pandemic.

799
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 3: I was just in the house just pouring out poorn out,

800
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: like I had two album ideas before. I just you know,

801
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 3: the pandemic you sit still and again TV was off

802
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 3: and it was just like all these things that I

803
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 3: was hoarding and holding, it just came in researchace and

804
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: I just put it out in the music and I

805
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: was just.

806
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: Like, this is this is the album. Yeah, you know.

807
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 6: So good.

808
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: You want to grow, you have to do the hard things,

809
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: And it's the best decision that I made that I

810
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 3: had to make.

811
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: It scared, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because you.

812
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: Know, it was like I'm afraid of the world to

813
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: judge me. But I learned that nobody is perfect, you know.

814
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: And what I learned and putting out these albums, a

815
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 3: lot of people have been through a lot of things.

816
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: That you've been through.

817
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: You can say I'll never do that and never do

818
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: that until you're in a situation and you're like, I

819
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: don't know how I got here. I'm not happy about

820
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: this decision I made, but I got to learn from

821
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: the experience and I got to share it and hopefully

822
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 3: you know it's a guy for somebody else, you know,

823
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 3: or healing from somebody else, So you know.

1060
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: My conversation today with RAPSI really got me thinking. And

1061
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: something that really stuck out to me was when she

1062
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: said something about boundaries. Boundaries is so important to me,

1063
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: and she said, where do you cross your line? What

1064
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: is the line that you are not willing to cross?

1065
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: And that's something that I want to challenge you all.

1066
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: Whatever it is that you're trying to do, make sure

1067
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: that you have a line that you are not willing

1068
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: to cross, because if you don't stand for something, you'll

1069
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: fall for anything. Rhapsody came through with all the positive vibes,

1070
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,200
