No, so 42 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: I actually, um, I have my my bachelor So I 43 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: was considering going back to the school. We're going to 44 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: medical school, so um. And after some time I was like, 45 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: oh god, I think I'm just gonna stick with my 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: bachelor's for now. And I also know what that was 47 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: very imprince. You speak Chinese, Yeah, that's what I made 48 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: her in Chinese business finance. Yeah, that was my degree. 49 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: We like a smart queen. Now you can always say 50 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: with the job with that degree. So what they do 51 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: you want to share your story? Uh So essentially when 52 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: I well, I wanted to light in her, brighten my 53 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: skin for a while, and a lot of the content 54 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: online was I guess not super sufficient or not people 55 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: like telling their whole journey, or maybe they were using 56 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: a lot of filters, and it was just really really 57 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: complicated to get a straight answer on how to do 58 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: that in like the most effective, I guess, healthy way. 59 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: So I saw this one girl from the US who 60 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: started making videos about her journey and I was like, Okay, 61 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: if she can do it, and I was messaging her, 62 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm like I should do it too. And the worst 63 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: thing that could happen is nobody watches, which is what 64 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: I was hoping everybody. I was like, worst case scenario, 65 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: no one's gonna see this, and at least I'm not 66 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: alone and I can talk to other people and see 67 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: how they're doing it. But then people watch, Yeah, you 68 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: go watch it, Okay, realized, But when I looking on 69 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: my iPhone, oh even listen, you know, I'm not gonna 70 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: drop a hid. But one thing I can't say about 71 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: your story is you know, I was very intrigued with 72 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: your journey because you really detail everything that you do, 73 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: and you show the results he of people. So I 74 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: like the fact that you are very open and transparent 75 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: because even if some people do not agree with it, 76 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: at least you're being very honest about it. Yeah, that 77 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: was very important from the beginning. Was even when I 78 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: didn't have results or I wasn't seeing what I was 79 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: looking for, I was like, Okay, this is where I 80 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: am on month one or month too. So at least 81 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: other people can and get a realistic idea of where 82 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: they would be in that similar situation. But what was 83 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: some of the faithback you receive. Oh God, So before 84 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: I think more people started watching my videos, the initial 85 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: feedback was what I was kind of hoping for, which 86 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: was kind of like everyone who was in a similar 87 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: journey like asking the same questions, asking for advice, and 88 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: other people giving me advice, and it felt really amazing. 89 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: But as it kind of was like more people were 90 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: like watching my videos, then that feedback got very very negative. Yeah, 91 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: I felt, I mean, people are just dickheads anyway. So 92 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: I know that there were some comments that mentioned that 93 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: you wanted to be white because the blonde hair and 94 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: how light you are now, and that you had a 95 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: medical procedure to change your eye color to blues. How 96 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: did that make you feel? Because I feel like from 97 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 1: those comments were like very mean and harsh. Oh yeah, 98 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: it would just be so to me. It's kind of 99 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: crazy how almost like creative people would get. They would 100 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: just talk about how I hated my praise, how I 101 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: I don't like darker skinned people, how I think white 102 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: people are better, or I think I'm better because I 103 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: look a certain way and that is completely not the case. 104 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: But then I I, I don't know, I do some 105 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: self reflection. I realized, like, these are people seeing me 106 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: for like ten minutes and making a very big assumption 107 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: and I've never given that feedback, as if that was 108 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: even an option. So these people don't really know me. 109 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: So I'm like, Okay, maybe they're in a weird mental 110 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: headspace and that's why they need to project this online. 111 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, those comments can get really just hurtful because 112 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: it's it's not the case, but also when you have 113 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: to keep on defending yourself, you're like, oh god, yeah, 114 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: well I could tell some of your video, some of 115 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: your most recent videos. You was kind of like, listen, y'all, 116 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't keep telling you the same thing over and 117 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: over again, Like it's it can get draining. At first, 118 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: I would write like detailed comments like I'm I don't 119 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: understand where you get that assumption from. That's not the case. 120 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: But then you know, people some people just genuinely want 121 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: to troll where they'll go through like each one of 122 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: my video, even though there was like a video I did. 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: It's like my mom has nothing to do with any 124 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: of that, and they just want to just project this energy. 125 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: So I was like, Okay, multiple people have that assumption. 126 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to make one video. I'm gonna speak my 127 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: piece on it since it's gonna come up regardless, and 128 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: if anyone ever wants to make another comment, I can 129 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: refer them back to that video and just go about 130 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: my day and another thing I like about your your 131 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: platform is because you are honest about the products. But 132 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: you also talk about how you lost a lot of 133 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: sponsor shields because of how honest honest you are. Yeah, 134 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: so it's definitely. Uh, it's it's an interesting time, especially 135 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: when I decided to start making videos about it with 136 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people, which is an amazing situation where 137 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: more people are feeling more empowered in their color and 138 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: in their race, which is great. But during that time, 139 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot of brands are like, well, we don't want 140 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: to promote this image on our platform of lightning. I'm like, well, 141 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: that's not there's more to me than that, Like I'm like, 142 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm multifaceted, but I completely understand. So it's but it's 143 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: not something that I'm not going to change or delete 144 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: that content just to get those sponsorships either, because that's 145 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: also like I know, there's always gonna be another person 146 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: watching who wants to know how to do it and 147 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: maybe a safe or a realistic way, and that's what 148 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: those videos are for and not for nothing nothing. I'm 149 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: not saying this because you're my guests, but I did 150 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: my research a year and you're not dumb like you're smart. Well, 151 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate intelligence is relatively you know, it's 152 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: just very unfortunate because I know when you when I 153 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: get from your platform, you started just lapping off to 154 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: share your journey. But now I started to see that 155 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: you're starting to transition to other areas that you have 156 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: interest in. So it's just it kind of sucks that 157 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: people are keeping you in this box because of how 158 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: you start. Yeah, that's that's well, the main thing for 159 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: me transitioning was because I also know like once I 160 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: reached my goals, that not that that that's the end 161 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: of my journey, but like I don't have any more 162 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going to try other products or really change 163 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: up my routine very much. And I do have other 164 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: areas of interest, so I wanted to explore that on 165 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: my platform and hopefully my audience, if they follow me 166 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: from the beginning, they'll be interested in seeing the other 167 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: stuff that I'm interested in as well. So that's kind of, 168 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: um what I've been trying to do. But I never 169 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: shy away from the fact that I have started my 170 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: journey with skin lightning, and that's kind of how the 171 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: YouTube channel got started. And those are the videos that 172 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: do very very well. So it's it's an interesting journey 173 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: that I've been on with this whole channel. Now, one 174 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: thing I know is is you don't really use the 175 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: word bleaching. Is there a reason why or should people 176 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: not use the words people use skin lightning? Is it so? 177 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: For me? Bleaching, skin lightning, skin brightening, toning, it is 178 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,239 Speaker 1: all interchangeable. I just think it's has a negative connotation. 179 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: And when you say the word bleaching, that's when people 180 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: get there. Even even in my native country and Kenya, 181 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: when people say the word bleaching, they're like, no, I 182 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: don't bleach my tone. It's the same. To me, it's 183 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's it's just a different It's like, 184 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: it's not they're both. They're all synonyms, but it's just 185 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: one of the words that really, I guess get to 186 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: people and you know, get that angry, angry response. But 187 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: if I said, oh, I'm lightening my skin or I'm 188 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: brightening my skin, even products sold on commercials, they're like, oh, 189 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: this will brighten you up, but it's the bleach. Oh no, 190 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: but it's the same thing, right, So I even mean 191 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: I was talking about that with my audience, I'm like, well, 192 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: I use them interchangeably. But I try to stay away 193 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: from the word bleach because let's trying to stay away 194 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: from the word bleach, because that's the one word that 195 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: just gets people upset. Even though there's products that we 196 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: see all the time, it's like, oh, brighten your day 197 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: or bright enough lighting that tone, it's the same thing. 198 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: So why do you think this skin lightning and bleaching? 199 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: Why do you think it's so taboo in our community, 200 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: within the black community. Oh God, So, I think the 201 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: main thing is it kind of comes down to like 202 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: colorism and the idea that if I'm lighter than I'm 203 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: better and I will be perceived better, and I think 204 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: I'm better than if I have darker skin, which obviously 205 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: is not the case in reality. But it's this perception 206 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: that if I am changing my skin tone, then I 207 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: think I'm better then if I have darker skin tone, 208 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: a darker skin tone, and I think people and then 209 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: that's the perception that if people of darker skin tones 210 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: are not which is not the case, but that's from 211 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: what I've received online. I get these comments, they're like, 212 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: so you don't like darker skin people. I'm like, no, 213 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: that's not the case. I just want my skin tone 214 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: to be lighter. But my sister has a darker skin tone, 215 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: and I think she's gorgeous. And there's models, and there's 216 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: so many different people, but it's just it's that innate 217 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: response in their head that oh, she thinks she's better, 218 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: or she wants to be better, or she thinks that 219 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: this is going to make her more attractive or appealing 220 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: in our society. So all would just say if misinceptions 221 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: that people have when it comes to skin lightening, because 222 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: I know one thing a lot of people say is 223 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: people who brightener skin do it because of self hate. Yes, 224 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: so yes, that comes. That's the biggest comment. They're like 225 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: self hate, you don't love your race, whatever. And it's 226 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: so funny to me because in my head, if I'm 227 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: a lighter skin tone, I'm still black, you know. So 228 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: so like they'll say, like, oh, that doesn't make you black. 229 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, so, if I'm the same state as like 230 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: a Beyonce or Rihanna, are they not considered black? Oh? No, 231 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: they are considered black. But if I change my skin tone, 232 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: then I don't like being black, which is not the case. 233 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: If I just wanted to be a lighter shade than 234 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: I was born with. So that kind of it's so 235 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: interesting that that's the mentality that kind of I always 236 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: when I'm reading those comments, I'm like, I don't even 237 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: know where that. I understand where it comes from, but 238 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: it's it's so funny because for me, a lot of 239 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: people who I know who lighten their skin, they don't 240 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: talk about it because of the backlash. It's like, you know, 241 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: so they the comments are like, oh, you think you're 242 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: gonna be treated a better. I'm like, I've been treated 243 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: way worse for being open about lightening my skin. People 244 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: know I lighted my skin. Oh my god. The backlash 245 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: is horrible. But if I was naturally this way, then 246 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: it's okay. So it's it's kind of a weird thought process. 247 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: I have to wrap my head around. It's like, okay, right, 248 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: do you feel like more celebrities should be more honest 249 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: about lightning their skin completely? Yes, it's it's it's the 250 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: same thing like with plastic surgery. If they're not open 251 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: and honest about it and they're doing it, then you know, 252 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: you're you're you're you're It's essentially like you're you're showing 253 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: off a version of yourself that is not your original self, 254 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: which is fine, there's nothing wrong like. That's why I'm 255 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: very honest about everything I've done, because at least their 256 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: viewers and the young people who were watching it can 257 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: look and say like, Okay, well this is this is 258 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: the steps that they took to get to what we're 259 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: seeing on a TV screen or on an advertisement. And 260 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, there's money and there's a cost, 261 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: and there's work that's behind it. It's just you know, 262 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: people aren't born that way sometimes and sometimes they change it, 263 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: but at least they know. Listen, I'm not gonna lie. 264 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: You spoke about one celebrity. I think she's from Kenya. Yeah, Parisa, Yes, 265 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: and I didn't know who she was until you mentioned 266 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: her anyone. I looked the episode of Before and After, 267 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: I will amazed, like I couldn't believe it. Yep, Vera 268 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: there is one of the people. Well she will she 269 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: went the moment she light in her skin, she went, 270 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: ended interviews about it. There was no there was no like, 271 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: oh you know, I've been I've been staying indoors. It's 272 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: kind of funny, like I made my friendial joke around. 273 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: It's like that that live about like, oh, yeah, this 274 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: is just my summer tone and this is in the winter, 275 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. She was like, listen, I 276 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: went to England, I had a procedure. This is how 277 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: I look like, you know, and at least and yeah, 278 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: she got backlash, but there was nothing, there was no 279 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: secrecy behind it. How expensive is it to lighting your 280 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: skin because that with this particular person you said she paid, 281 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm as closed to like yes, so so I always 282 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: it's it's it's there's different steps and levels to it, 283 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: and I think it's just based on your financial um 284 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: comfortability and also your patients. So Vera wanted to light 285 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: in her skin very very asked. So she had, you know, 286 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: procedures done, which that's very costly, whereas there's people who 287 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: can lend their skins taking supplements and vitamins, but that's 288 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: not You're not gonna lagn your skin in a month. 289 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: That takes sometimes a year or two two years, so 290 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: and if you want fast results, you pay the money. 291 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: But there's ways to do it on a very on 292 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: a lower budget. But you just got to be patient 293 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: if that's your intended result. So you've mentioned that you 294 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: was as dark as the peta and I saw pictures 295 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: of you. Yes, so what age or desires skin go? 296 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: You know, I it's very funny because I get that 297 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: question a lot that and it's it's not that I 298 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: have a particular shade in mind. I think for me, 299 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: because you know, even in the summertime right now, I 300 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: was definitely lighter when it was winter time, I light 301 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: it until I feel comfortable, and then when I feel like, oh, 302 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm a little too light for my liking, 303 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: then I I back off a little bit. And especially 304 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: now that I've been lightning for so many years and 305 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: taking these supplements, it's I don't I don't need. I 306 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: don't like having that pressure like I need to be 307 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: this ship by this point or else I'm not going 308 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: to be happy, especially because I did do it on 309 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: when I started, I had a way lower budget and 310 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: I had to be patient, and just I feel like 311 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: when I if I had a set goal of mine 312 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: and if I didn't reach it up by a particular time, 313 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: then I get very sad. So for me, it's I 314 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,239 Speaker 1: lightened when I feel like I want to feel a 315 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: little bit lighter and I'll feel more comfortable in my 316 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: skin that way. And if I feel like I'm a 317 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: little too light. Then I back off a little bit. Well, 318 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna because I didn't say a video when 319 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, she also like slow down a 320 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: little because you was looking at you were still light, 321 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: but you had like a little brown to you, a 322 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: brown pone to you. And I was like, Okay, I 323 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: think that she's doing right here. I mean, I was 324 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: paying attends to a video chat, don't know, and there's 325 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: it's so funny, especially I think in the summertimes, when 326 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, I like being outdoors and there's some people 327 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: who light and who are like, I will not go outdoors. 328 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: I won't be around people that where there's sun touching me, 329 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: and like, you know, I like to live, you know, 330 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: I like to be out to outside, being outside, especially 331 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: after this pandemic, I'm like, that is just not an 332 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: option for me. So, you know, I realized that my 333 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: skin tone gets a little bit darker. But you know what, 334 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: at least I'm happy with where I am right now, 335 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: and if I need to lighten up, I know what 336 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: I can do. And I think that's another misconception is 337 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: people feel like they can't go outside if they are 338 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: like nurse skin right. Yeah, it's completely false, And I 339 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: think that's a notion that really just I'm outside as much. 340 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: I'm in tropical areas as much as I can be 341 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: like being outdoors. I'm in the water all the time. Yes, 342 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: it's it was I wouldn't be on this journey if 343 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: I had to give up going outdoors. It's but I 344 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: do I realize that, Okay, maybe I won't be the 345 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: lightest I could possibly be. I'm okay with that. It's 346 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: that it was never it was never a thing where 347 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: if I wasn't light, then I wasn't going to be happy. No, 348 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: it was okay, this is something that I wanted to do, 349 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm on this journey and I will 350 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: take whatever bumps and gooves, go along the way with it. 351 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: So just to give the audience an idea, how light 352 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: would you say you are now? Because I know what 353 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: you look like, but who don't you know? It's very 354 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: funny because I was recently in Florida and I don't 355 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: consider myself to be lighter skinned or light skinned. And 356 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: then I had a lady who I was I was 357 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: at a at the receptionist and she was like, oh wow, 358 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: like asking about like my culture and where I'm from, 359 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: and she's like, I didn't know they had light skinned 360 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: people there, and I didn't really consider myself to be there. 361 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: But in my head, like in my head, I was like, wait, 362 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: if she hath about me? No, she wasn't. She was 363 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: African American and black, and I was very confused. I 364 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: was looking at her and I was like, really, so 365 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: I would say I'm a lighter skin, brown skinned person, 366 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: if that makes any sense, but I wouldn't call myself 367 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: light skin by any means. Now I have to ask 368 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: this question because everybody always want to ask this one question. 369 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: People to talk to people who are lighting their skin. So, 370 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: did you think that you were not attractive with darker skin? 371 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: Not at all. I didn't think that I was not attractive. 372 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: I think it's almost it's it's kind of crazy because 373 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: the reason I light in my skin is very different 374 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: than most people who lay in their skin. I wanted. 375 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: I watched Twilight and I saw that all the vampires 376 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: had pale skin, and so I just wanted pale skin. 377 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: And I thought people of pale skin were really like 378 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: it was. It's weird, but I never thought I wasn't attractive. 379 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: If a dump reason, so that's kind of what spurred 380 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: it all. But for me, I think I like to 381 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: change up my hair and my eyes and there's my 382 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: body is so malleable. I'm like, with lighter skin, I 383 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: I could. I did these cool colors that popped differently 384 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: on my body. And that's kind of how it started 385 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: for me, or the reason why I wanted to do it. 386 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: I just thought it looked better on my skin with 387 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do. And I know that your 388 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: family is from Kiddia, so how common is it there 389 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: and were you the first one of your family to 390 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: do it. I was not the first one in my 391 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: family to do it by any means, but I was 392 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: the first one to admit it openly. Oh my god. 393 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: I have a lot of cousins and my mom always jokes, 394 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: She's like, oh, should get these products from River Road, 395 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: which is kind of like the black market where they 396 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: sell these illegal skincare products that are very very dangerous 397 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: that light skin. And I would have cousins who you know, 398 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: they used to be my skin tone, but now you 399 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: see them online and you can definitely tell that they've lightened, 400 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: not naturally, but it's it's kind of one of those 401 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: hush hush, open secrets type things. It's like, you don't 402 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: talk about it, but obviously it happens. Um Vera was 403 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: one of the first, like obviously one of the more 404 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: known celebrities intending to do it, but many Kalonian Nigeria, 405 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: like those celebrities do it often, they just don't talk 406 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: about it openly. So being the team was so open 407 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: about it, what would you have family and friends reaction 408 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: to it? My mom thought I was crazy, and I 409 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: was like, that's fair. I'm like most of the things 410 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: I do are crazy to her, so she's just she's 411 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: kind of like another crazy thing that I did. Um. 412 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: It's funny because it was actually, um my friends who 413 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: aren't white, they caught on pretty quickly to what I 414 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: was doing. And I have a lot of um because yes, 415 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: But it's funny because especially because in school I went, 416 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: I was in an Asian program, so I had a 417 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: lot of Asian and Chinese friends and they would almost 418 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: be like begging me to tell them what I was doing, 419 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: and they were like, well, this is what we use 420 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: in China, this is one And it was so confused 421 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: because I was very hushashed with my friend groups, but 422 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: they wanted all the swers. And that's when I learned 423 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: that in in Asian communities it's way more common. But 424 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: it's definitely doesn't have that negative connotation. Um. Definitely from 425 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: my black friends, they weren't super stoked about it when 426 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: they like really noticed the difference. And I would say 427 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: this year, my friends who were white, they were like, 428 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: did you light in your skin? And I'm like, yeah, 429 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: So it's always kind of funny how that. So it's 430 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: been a mixed bag of reactions, say because relationships, Oh 431 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: my god, my sister is so it was so anti. 432 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: She called me crying when I first, like when I first, 433 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: like when I first when she found my I didn't 434 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: tell anyone in my YouTube about the YouTube channel, especially 435 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: not my sister because she was the exact opposite. She 436 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: called me crying, and then she was like, Okay, you 437 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: do what you're going to do. At the end of 438 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: the day, I just don't support it. And I'm like, 439 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: that's fine, you don't need to support it. Yeah I 440 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: get because she really oh yeah, yeah, definitely. She was 441 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: the biggest, the first one when he found the channel, 442 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: which I don't even know how that happens, but she 443 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: found the channel and was crying, was upset. And then 444 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: now years later she's just like, yeah, you're you're gonna 445 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: do what you're gonna do, and you're still the same person, 446 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to her, but 447 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: she doesn't want to. We just don't talk about Yeah. Yeah, 448 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: and I know your boyfriend has been very supportive of 449 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: your journey as well. So did you have to as lazy? 450 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: How what you would do one? And how did he 451 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: put better? At first? So he was very much against 452 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: it at first, like he was not supportive at all. 453 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: It was more like why are you doing this? Like 454 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: do you like if there's someone telling you you need 455 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: to do that? Which is like always fun because everyone's like, oh, 456 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: so and so I telling you to this. I'm like no. 457 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: Most of the people in my life were like why, 458 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: especially my boyfriend. He was not ecstatic at all. But 459 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: for him, he's kind of like, as long as you're 460 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: not hurting yourself often as long as you're safe, then 461 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: that's all that matters. Yeah, because he's been with juices, 462 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: so she first started you first started the oh yeah, yeah, 463 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: well here, yeah, we were together for we've been together 464 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: for years, so way before even the YouTube channel, So 465 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: he was he's had a couple of years of me 466 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: with the darker skin tone, and he loved he you know, 467 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: he loves me for me obviously, but I think it's 468 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: it's fun to know that even if I look different, 469 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: that he still loves me for me. Yeah, so that's 470 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: always I guess. And I know this that you said 471 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: that people treat you differently now since you do have 472 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: lighter skin. Yeah, so that's that's the one thing that 473 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: I definitely noticed, and it's it's actually kind of weird, 474 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: I would say, I in terms of I think it's disgusting, 475 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, it's disgusting, and it's the 476 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: worst part is it's it's mostly from black people, mostly 477 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: black men. So I would say when I had a 478 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: darker skin tone, I I I didn't get a lot 479 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: of reception from black men as much as I do 480 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: now that I have a lighter skin tone, and it's 481 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: kind of upsetting because nothing's really changed about me. I mean, yeah, 482 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: I've had some cosmetic procedures here and there, but even 483 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: when I didn't have those and I was just lighter, 484 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: that's where I saw the biggest difference in how they 485 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: would talk to me, and you know, things like that, 486 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: just even walking down the streets. So it's weird because 487 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm still in the same body and I'm still the 488 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: same person, but just how I've been treated been treated 489 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: or if the words are kinder and a little bit 490 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: nicer and matter, it's it's messed up, it really is. 491 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: But they're not a miss with your psyche just a 492 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: little bit, because I know that I'd probably like with damn, 493 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: was that not good enough? Being dark skinned? Yeah, so 494 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: that's that's definitely something that I always think about. Like 495 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: even for example, like going into a club before I 496 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: was lighter, I would remember like even like where I was, 497 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: like they would say they would look at me a 498 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: little bit longer and try to decide if they're going 499 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: to let me in, even though I feel like I'm 500 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: the same person or but now it's it's completely different, 501 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: and I don't understand why that's the mental shift, you know, 502 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: so because it's the same body, just with a lighter 503 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: skin tone. And it's weird coming because it's it's it's 504 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: been mostly coming from people of my own race, which 505 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: is the art. Yeah, So yeah, so I I don't 506 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's it's weird thinking when I 507 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: when I ponder it and I think about it, and and 508 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: I have to especially for the channel, especially for people. 509 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: When I made that video, so many people commented, this 510 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: is the exact experience that I have been going through, 511 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: And I don't know why it's that way. Well you 512 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: know why it's that way, but it's it's you know, 513 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: there's there's one thing where people say like, oh, it 514 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: doesn't colorism doesn't exist, and we're beyond it. It's like, well, 515 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: I'm walking through my life and I'm seeing it in 516 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: broad daylight. So please try to explain this to me, 517 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: because there's there's no other thing to explain it. You know, 518 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: there's no other factors that have changed except my skin tone. 519 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: So what made you want to start this journey? Like 520 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: how did you get how were you introduced to it? 521 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: And I know this is not this is norm from 522 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: where you're from, And what made you just wake up 523 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: and be like, hey, I want to lighten my skin. 524 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,239 Speaker 1: Well I always start that Twilight video. But when I 525 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: was younger, I had acne, and when I had acne, 526 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: and I wanted to get rid of my dark spots 527 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: on my face. From the brownie, so I know you 528 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: had dark spots, like yeah, so that so it really 529 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: wasn't like oh my god. It was a gradual thing. 530 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: So then my mom, you know, I went to the 531 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: local beauty supply store and then she was like, oh, 532 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: these removed dark spots and me not really, and my 533 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: mom just like not taking the time, I guess to 534 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: explain how to put it on. I just put it 535 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: all over my face. So I would go to school 536 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: and I realized, like, my face has gone significantly a 537 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: couple shades lighter, even though my dark spots were still there. 538 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: But then I was like, wow, I kind of like 539 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: how that looks. I mean, even though I looked insane, 540 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: I looked very much crazy. I had my neck was 541 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: one color, I had dark spots. But in my head 542 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, I like how this looks, 543 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: and maybe the kids treat me a little bit differently 544 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: even though I looked insane. So that's kind of where 545 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: that started. And then I used to use those creams 546 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: which were horrible, just they would just they would really 547 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: just destroy my skin. And then I was like, okay, 548 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: that's when I stopped using the cream and I went 549 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: back to my original skin tone, and I was like, 550 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: you know what, um after seeing a couple of YouTube 551 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: videos about people doing it with supplements and just a 552 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: way more natural, more even way to do it where 553 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: your face is on one tone and your whole bodies 554 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: the other tone. That's when I was like, Okay, I'm 555 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: gonna do this seriously. I know it's safe for the 556 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: most part, and I'm going to see where it takes me. 557 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: So I didn't know that there were different procedures that 558 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: you can use to light your skin, and one that 559 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: you put me on too was my big google and 560 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: how to pronounce this glue thion glutath Okay, okay, that 561 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: was the rabbit hole, I would say of one skin lightning, 562 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I can do this 563 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: and and not completely destroyed my skin and it's even 564 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: and actually I could have anti aging properties and all 565 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: these other benefits in addition the lighters kind. So that 566 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: is I would say that was the beginning of the 567 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: rabbit hole for me. Yeah, because I was like, wow, 568 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: I didn't even know this. I'm still used to people 569 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: talking about, like, you know, so chemical pills and stuff 570 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: like a cream, but you literally put me onto this, 571 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: So what is it exactly, So, glutathione is a it 572 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: is a anti occident that our body naturally produces, and 573 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: it's in the liver, so essentially, so the thing that's 574 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: very funny about it, skin lightning is not the main 575 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: purpose of gludo thion. The main purpose of gluta thy 576 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: in your body is to get rid of free radicals 577 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: and just detoxify your body. But what happened was people 578 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: realize that when you kind of have a surplus of 579 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 1: glute thion, one of the side effects is skin lightning. 580 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: So glutothions purpose in our body, like say, for example, 581 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: if you've been drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes or any 582 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: other toxins that we normally get into that it's its 583 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: purpose in our body is to get rid of those toxins. 584 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: But after your body has had I guess de talked 585 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: itself out and you're in a healthy state. One of 586 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: the side effects of an access amount of glutathion was 587 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: that it lightens skin, and so people were like, wow, 588 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: this is so much better than putting Like I mean, 589 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: back in like so long ago, people used to put 590 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: mercury on their skin, which now we know it's horrible, 591 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: and it was damaging and caused cancer. So that was 592 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: like the big thing that was making skin lightning. In 593 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: addition to like the negative connotation was that it was 594 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: so dangerous for people to do. But now they're like, well, 595 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: I can do this and actually prevent these horrible things 596 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: from happening and actually aid an um anti aging property. 597 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, I might as well, right, Yeah, when I 598 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: went out, Yeah, so you know that I knew about 599 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: steroids and all these other things, but I I realized that, 600 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: like way way back in the days, some of these creams, 601 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: especially like the ones that they sell in like Kenya 602 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: on that river road, they have mercury and that's so 603 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: horribly bad to be anywhere near your body, but that's 604 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: what people are willing to put on their skin to 605 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: lighten and im And now at least there's ways different 606 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: ways to do. You can also you can inject this, 607 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: or you can take it orally, right, Yeah, So essentially 608 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: what happens is when you take just like even vitamin 609 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: C or beach wells, if you take a supplement orally, 610 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: your stomach acid breaks down on the majority of it. 611 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: So taking it orally can actually become quite expensive when 612 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: you realize that the amount of gluethion being absorbed into 613 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: the bread stream. You might be taking uh six hundred milligrams, 614 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: but you're only going to be getting ten percent ten 615 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: percent of that just because of how our body naturally 616 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: breaks down things. So they discovered that not just with 617 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: glue thon, this is um with other ivy therapies, is 618 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: that if injecting that vitamin intravenously, you can absorb a 619 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: d of the nutrients. So that is become the more 620 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: effective way for the sin rightening community to get faster results. 621 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: So what did your routine Asistum? Because I know that 622 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: you was taking a lot of injections to achieve your goal, 623 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: So I did not start with injections because injections were 624 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: very expensive when I was first getting them. So essentially 625 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: what I was doing was I was ordering UM the 626 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: supplements on Amazon, and I was megadosing so uh more. 627 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: Normal people just for basic normal health concerns would take 628 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: like five hundred milligrams, and I was thinking about five 629 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: hundred five thousand milligrams per day orally, just because of 630 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: the fact that a majority of it was going to 631 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: be destroyed by my stomach lining. So that's what I 632 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: was doing um, and then I was googling and trying 633 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: to find new ways to have it be absorbed more effectively. 634 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: So I used a nebulizer at one point, which is 635 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: another effective metch that that they used to for babies 636 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 1: to get vitamins in that does not get as destroyed 637 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: through the stomach lining. And then I was doing shots. 638 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: And now now that I found a medical spa that 639 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: I'm way really comfortable with, I've been getting regular IVY 640 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: therapy with it. Listen, one thing I can tell you 641 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: about your channel, baby, I see the glow. Whelka. Okay. Yeah, 642 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: So definitely it's a it's a big change from where 643 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: I started, but it's it's it's a lot less more 644 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: time consuming. So before I'll be taking about like six 645 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: or seven pills every single day, and now I just 646 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: go to the medical spot once a week and it's you. 647 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: And then you taught me something else because you would 648 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: say how you was on a coffee anima, and I 649 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: was like, what is it? Oh my god, I love coffee. 650 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: So with GLUTOTHI and the main thing is you want 651 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: to make sure your body is really detox before you start, 652 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, taking glueth ion or else. Essentially, Gluethon's main 653 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: purpose is going to be to detox your body. So 654 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: I started going into like the rabbit hole holistic communities, 655 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: like how do I take talk to my body as 656 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: fast as possible? And I started looking at coffee animas. 657 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: So coffee animas actually naturally increase our natural supply of 658 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: glutothion by flushing out all the gunk sets in our colon. 659 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,919 Speaker 1: So I started doing those, and my skin just not 660 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: not even with the skin lightning like acne, and just 661 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: feeling like I had way our energy in my body. 662 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, I've been doing regular coffee animals, and that's 663 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,800 Speaker 1: something I don't think it's ever going to go away. 664 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of weird at first, but especially once you 665 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: see the results of how you feel, I'm like, okay, 666 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: this is a part of my life forever, and you 667 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: really you really feel it different. Oh my god, I 668 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: cannot wake up at six am naturally before um and 669 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: now that's I naturally, no matter what environment I'm in, 670 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: I wake up at six am like fully awake, Like 671 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's an amazing thing I've started, I've implemented 672 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: in like, yeah, I look into the mind never heard 673 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: before it. It was. It was honestly the rabbit hole 674 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: of holistic health. People do colonics and sif but coffee 675 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: animals just because you you really are just resetting your system. 676 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: So then all the nutrients that you put in in general, 677 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: not just with like glutathan, but like from your fruits 678 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: and that they just are observed way faster. And it's 679 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: I will say, after doing it one the first time, 680 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: it's always weird, but I feel like the second time 681 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: you're like, wait a minute, there's something to this. Yeah, 682 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: So were you used I know you will also use 683 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: the environmentsy, So were you using other things to help 684 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: you get to receive that a results? Yes? So as 685 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: vitamin C, I always say, is glutathon's best friend. So 686 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: it helps with glutathions obserption and actually with when you're 687 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: taking artificial artificial vitamins in general, the biggest fear is 688 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: that you're going to deplete your body of its natural supply. 689 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: So I didn't want to take so much artificial glutathon 690 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: that say, if I'm on a vacation or somewhere where 691 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: I can't have like injections naturally, that when I'm out 692 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: of that artificial supply my body stopped producing glutathon naturally. 693 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: So vitamin C is actually one of the precursors for glutathione, 694 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: so it's important to take that. I also take knack 695 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: and just other things that help to nack that are 696 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: part of the building blocks to make gluethon naturally my body, 697 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: so that my body still produces it as well. So 698 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: how will they take for you to wake up and 699 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: be like, oh, ship, like if now is working? So 700 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: for me, I'd always looked for like the little improvements. 701 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: So the big thing is with gluetathon, it's not so 702 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: much the skin lighting, but just like the glow in 703 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: your skin. And that's just like maybe if you're used 704 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 1: to having like acne, or if you're used to having 705 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: like a really dull skin, you know, just you know, 706 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: when you're just your skin feels kind of groggy. So 707 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: I would say the best way too related to it 708 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: is like after you've had a chemical peel or some 709 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: microda ambrasion. Just that three month mark when I looked 710 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: at my skin and I was like, wow, there's not 711 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: a pimple in sight and it looks very glowy. That 712 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: was for me like, Okay, thank god, this is working 713 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: because I spent way too money, much money on this 714 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: already to keep going. No, I see it, I'm telling you. 715 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: Watching your video, I was just like wow, like the 716 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: body is just amazing because to see where you started 717 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: to where you are now, I was just like wow, 718 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: like she really did it. It's it's it's definitely that 719 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: that glowing sensation. And I always tell people that don't 720 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: don't expect like dramatic results because it is en your 721 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: body does take some time to get a tune to it. 722 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: But then the glow at three months, no matter what, 723 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: without like the skin lightning or whiting, my skin looked 724 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: amazing just and I looked more hydrated too. I don't 725 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: know how to explain it, like I just looked like 726 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: I was well rusted, way better than any like medical 727 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: spa treatment you could get or facial So that was 728 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: just at least I was like, worst case scenario if 729 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: I don't get to like a skin whitening glow goal, 730 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: my skin looks great, so I'm happy. Another thing I 731 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: learned from your your platform is I didn't know that 732 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,720 Speaker 1: they have clinics where you can go and receive these procedures. Yeah, 733 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: so especially I would say in the US, they're they're 734 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,439 Speaker 1: they're becoming more popular just because there is a big 735 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: stigma UM with skin whitening and brightening bleach again interchangeable, 736 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 1: but abroad it's way more common. When I was in Um, 737 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: Indonesia and China, it was not, I'm common to different 738 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: It's called the Cinderella treatment or the skin whitening treatment. 739 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: They're like the way waiting there, just the skin whitening treatment, 740 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: and it's very common and they know exactly what dosages 741 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: you're looking for, whereas like here, I typically go to 742 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: like medical spas and I to do IVY treatments and 743 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, can you give me this amount of 744 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 1: glutathion and this amount of vitamin C. There it's it's 745 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: very very common, especially say in Asian countries. But now 746 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: I've I've noticed even where I live that there's more 747 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: spots offering it for the purpose of skin whitening and 748 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: not just like hangover therapies. Do you have to keep 749 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: up with your routine and maintain your color? From personal experience, 750 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: I would say the amount that I was doing in 751 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: the beginning, when I really wanted to go multiple shades lighter, 752 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: I have not had to go back to that that 753 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 1: amount of dosage, but there is like a maintenance dose 754 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: which is significantly cheaper. But I was on vacation for 755 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: like two months when I was and I went away 756 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: for about two months, and I didn't really do any 757 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: major I was on vacation for two months. I like 758 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: to travel um and I wasn't. I was in Tooloom. 759 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: So that's a very tropical, heavy heavy It's It's definitely 760 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,919 Speaker 1: one of the places if you're looking to get a tan, 761 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: that's where you're going to get a tan. And I 762 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: would say I didn't do much except for maybe like 763 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: I had my coaching acid soap, and I didn't see 764 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: a major difference in my skin tone. But uh, eventually, 765 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: if you if you completely stopped doing everything for like 766 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: a long period of time, you can't get darker and 767 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 1: revert back. But I've I've not been going as crazy 768 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: with with my routine as much, and I've still been 769 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: able to maintain the similar stone that I've achieved. And 770 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: when you say go back darker, do you go back darker? 771 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: Obviously documento color that you are now, but you go 772 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: back darcor to your regional scan town. So after doing 773 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: more research. Essentially, what bludithion does, it doesn't um. So 774 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people like to talk about melanin and 775 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: they don't really understand what melanin is or that there's 776 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: actually a couple different um forms of melanin. So what 777 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: glutothyon does is people with a darker skin, there's red 778 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: melanan and there's yellow melanin. So what glutoth ione is 779 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: doing is converting a lot of our receptors. If you're 780 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 1: if you're black, your receptors are told to make produce 781 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: more red melanin over yellow melanin um and then a 782 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: lighter skinned person would have more yellow melanin over red melanin. 783 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: So the glutoth ion is essentially ton of those receptors 784 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: to to uh favor yellow over the red, which is 785 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: the darker tone. So over time, our receptors will have 786 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 1: to readjust if we're not implementing more glutothoon too, Okay, 787 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 1: we don't have this glue defiance telling us to produce 788 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: the yellow melanin, so now we're going to go back 789 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: to producing red. So it takes a lot of time, 790 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: but it's not as oh if I stopped today, then 791 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: tomorrow I'm gonna beat now it's I would say, the 792 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: amount of time it took to get the skin tone, 793 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: it would be double to go back to the similar 794 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: skin tone that I had before. And that's without you know, 795 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 1: tanning or anything, because obviously there's ways to speed it up, 796 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: like with melanin injections, of course, but in a controlled 797 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: environment where you're not doing anything. It would take going 798 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: back to the building blocks of how our skin produces 799 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: an eleanent to tell it to revert back to favoring 800 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: red over yellow. And then the girl the Vera did 801 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: she go back to her the darker skin and then 802 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: she went back to being light. I honestly think she 803 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: just put and this is just my my opinion, and 804 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 1: I don't there's nothing to prove it, but I honestly 805 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,439 Speaker 1: think she just put like tanning cream on because there's 806 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: no way to go from that dark right, and so 807 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: such a quick amount of time unless you put you 808 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: were like went to a tanning salon or did the 809 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: tanning cream. So I suspect that's exactly what you did, 810 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: which would give her the darker skin tone and a 811 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: quick amount of time. But then also as soon as 812 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,919 Speaker 1: those tanning creams fade than her lighter skin tone shell. 813 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: Right now, I was watching on of your videos and 814 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: you were speaking about all the things that you would 815 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: like to fix me a body, and it kind of 816 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: broke my heart. You know what's really I'm talking about, right, Yeah, 817 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: And I broke my heart working you cry because I 818 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 1: can tell how much certain things were really bothering you. 819 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: So how has been on this journey affected your mental health? 820 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,800 Speaker 1: And how has therapy helped you? Oh my god, therapy 821 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: is so amazing because I love there because you know, 822 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: when you when you open yourself up on the internet, 823 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: you you know you're only showing a version of yourself 824 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: where you're talking about one thing. But then many people 825 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: can have opinions. So when I when I talk about 826 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: skin lightning, people are like, well, you should fix this first, 827 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: and you should do that first, and you should do 828 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: this first. And I was like, wait, I didn't even 829 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: have a problem with those areas of my body, right 830 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 1: you know, They're like, well, why are you skin lighting 831 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: when you should be fixing your teeth RST. Thing? And 832 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, this is and and I'm 833 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: address that because I feel like people put those those 834 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,399 Speaker 1: fears on this because you don't have problems with the teeth. 835 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: And I'm glad that you say I don't have problems 836 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: with my teeth. I think when I feel like and 837 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm like right, So it's it's kind of funny too. 838 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: It's it's also the people who are like, you should 839 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: love yourself. I'm like, you're the one I loved myself, 840 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: but you're the one telling me all the things I 841 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: should hate about myself, sir. But it's it's funny because like, 842 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: at least through therapy, I've learned, Okay, this is not 843 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: what people see on the internet, Like what what celebrities anyone? 844 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: You're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. That is 845 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 1: not me. This is not who I am. I'm a 846 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: multifaceted person and what I show on the internet, and 847 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: that people want to make assumptions about me, then let 848 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: them that's their issue, not mine, and to focus on 849 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: why I'm here and what I'm doing and just I 850 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: guess focus more on myself. So therapy has been amazing 851 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: on kind of quieting the noise that is the Internet, 852 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,959 Speaker 1: and especially when the videos go. Really I almost get 853 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,959 Speaker 1: terrified when videos do well because I'm like, oh god, 854 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't even want to look at the comments section. 855 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 1: I just have to give myself a couple of days 856 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: to mentally prepare to like answer and look at what 857 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 1: people are saying. Do you feel like your childhood played 858 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 1: a part and like how you were filling with everything 859 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: growing up, especially where you at now. Unfortunately, I would 860 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: say my childhood did play a small part in the 861 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: sense that I was an Africa a Canyan child going 862 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: to school in America, and I had the Kenyon perspective 863 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: where you know black as black when you know they're 864 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: really it was just like you were black. It didn't 865 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: really I didn't really think about it. But then I 866 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: went to school in the US and then they'll be like, 867 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: well you have to look this way and that way 868 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: and that this is pretty and that is pretty and 869 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,879 Speaker 1: all these different things. And I was thinking about like, 870 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,760 Speaker 1: oh wow, Like I didn't think about that much until 871 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 1: I came here and I was like, oh, it's darker 872 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 1: different or is it different? And then you know, that 873 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: was I think the biggest thing. Because my parents, the 874 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: main thing about them, especially being Canyons, they were like, 875 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how you look, focused on your education. 876 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: They're like it doesn't matter if you're what doesn't matter 877 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: if you're pretty or ugly, it doesn't matter if you spoke, 878 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: you went to school to go to school, so your kid, 879 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 1: You're like, I want the kids to to you know, 880 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: you want to be admired by your peers. So that 881 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: was just very interesting, like being in that situation and 882 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: for people being like, oh, you're from Africa, so that's 883 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:29,839 Speaker 1: the darkest of the darkest, and I'm like, yeah, and 884 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: what's what does that mean? Right? And it's like when 885 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 1: you coming to the US, you're exposed to so much ship. Yeah, 886 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,280 Speaker 1: And I would say that was always something very interesting 887 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: for me and my siblings to kind of experience and 888 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 1: being like, oh, okay, being darker is is a thing, 889 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: and oh if from African, that's like even more of 890 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: a thing. But they would so it was it was. 891 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: It was I would say, an interesting learning experience for me, 892 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 1: very important because it's giving me such a holistic worldview 893 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: and for me to be able to step back and 894 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: like reassess where my thought is in the world. So 895 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,799 Speaker 1: it would be something different that you would do with 896 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,320 Speaker 1: your daughter or with your son that you weiarh someone 897 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: did for you. I would definitely let them express themselves 898 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: in whichever way they wanted to express themselves. So if 899 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: it's almost different because in in my childhood, aesthetics were 900 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: the least of important things. It's like being like how 901 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,319 Speaker 1: you perceive or look at yourself and if you want 902 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,720 Speaker 1: to dress up or where like makeup was not allowed. 903 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: It was just very much go to school, get an education, 904 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: you get married eventually. And if my child wants to 905 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 1: wear makeup or do whatever they want to do, then 906 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: I'd let them go on that journey in a safe environment. 907 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 1: And if they didn't want to do that, then I'd 908 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 1: let them going in a safe environment, but allow themselves 909 00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: to be more expressive of their individu duality rather than 910 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: just be a bookworm. Yeah, and last, but at least, 911 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,359 Speaker 1: what if some advice you will give to someone who 912 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: would like to begin their own skin lightning journey. If 913 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:20,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna make a YouTube channel, try not the comments, right, Um, really, 914 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: I would say do it real good deep dive as 915 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: to why you're lightening your skin is it is if 916 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: you or ask yourself what made you get to that 917 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 1: point and if there's any even inkling of some outside 918 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 1: factor telling you that you have to, then don't do it, um, 919 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: and just make sure that if you're going to do it, 920 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,360 Speaker 1: that it's it's only for your own benefit and because 921 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 1: you want to do it, and not because anyone tells 922 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: you to do it or not to do it, just 923 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,919 Speaker 1: because it will make you happy, because that's the only 924 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,959 Speaker 1: way you can do anything these days. Right, So that's 925 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 1: my my advice is don't do it or not do 926 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: it because someone told you to. Well, I'm just curious 927 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 1: because I really like you, I really like your personality, 928 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: and I feel like you really taught me a lot 929 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: about this because I'm American and I'm from the style, 930 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,920 Speaker 1: so I didn't know anything about uh, skin lightning and 931 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: bleaching until I moved to New York and being around 932 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,840 Speaker 1: all the black people and noticing things. I'm like, okay, 933 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 1: you know people are educating me on this. So what's 934 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: next for you? Because I feel like you are a 935 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,280 Speaker 1: woman of those as you can see, and I'm just curious, 936 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 1: like what do you want to do? Like what's next 937 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,440 Speaker 1: for you? Because I feel like you you're becoming a 938 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: woman who you visy yourself to see, right, Yeah, um, 939 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,720 Speaker 1: I definitely Well, like I was staying on my YouTube channel. 940 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: I definitely am very very I like I like learning 941 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,439 Speaker 1: more about skin. That sounds really weird. I like learning 942 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 1: more about skin and just aesthetics and things of that nature. 943 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: So just being way more educated in that field and 944 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: understanding the new things coming out in those fields, not 945 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: just with skin lightning, but other things like anti aging 946 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 1: properties and you know, things just to people feel really 947 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 1: beautiful in their own skin. And eventually I want to 948 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 1: open up a medical clinic somewhere, so that's kind of 949 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,439 Speaker 1: the big goal. But just being more educated and kind 950 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 1: of immersing myself in the aesthetics community. I can see 951 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 1: you doing it. That's the goal. So fingers crossed, but 952 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: I appreciate you.
