0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>how to deal with hate. We talk about fashion, her

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>love of New York, and so much more. We also

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.760

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>excited that you're on my podcast, first of all, because

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we have a lot of things in common.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Me too. I'm so excited to be here. We have

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a weird amount of things in common. We're both teenagers,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we're both working, we're both dealing with the social media thing,

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>which it's social media is crazy. We started like the

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>same way too, and we have like like the same

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>like tendencies, you know what I mean. I feel like

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like our call before, where it's like things like

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the old soul thing like all different, you know what

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. It's just like things like that are the same.

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about you, but I've been trying to

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>limit my phone time just because I realized during the

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>height of the pandemic when I was inside, my phone

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>time was probably like twelve or thirteen hours a day,

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, whoa, yeah, that's a lot. I

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>don't even turn mine on anymore. I don't. I don't

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>want to see it because honestly, like my favorite time

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of the day is when I like turn it off. Um,

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>there's really and like nothing pressing, Like I don't like

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't really like snapchat people. I don't. I just

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>like text and do take talk and take Instagram pictures

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and then I post it and turn it off. See

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that sounds lovely. I think Snapchat is terrible. I think

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting, but terrible, but just because like the snap

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>maps a big thing where you live, Yeah, it is.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you've experienced this, but like in

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 1>the city, it can be really hard because you'll see

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>people hanging out together like on snap maps. When they

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.959
<v Speaker 1>say they're not, it's like this, it was this whole thing.

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, that's funny. Like no one. I used

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to live in North Carolina and like if you go

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>on my snap map, like everyone's is turned on, like

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>over there on the East Coast, and like no one's

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>is where I live. Like everyone is like doing their

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>own thing and very private about it. But it's like fun.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>It's like gossip Girl, like the little like maths that

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>they use. I okay, here's a question. When you come

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to New York, are you into the gossip Girl vibe?

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, well actually I started it over Quarantine. I

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>started gossip Girl for the first time ever. Quarantine. It's

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>like completely changed my life, like literally had to get

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>like pack of packs of head bands, like had to

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>like change the whole style for that. But I haven't

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>been to New York since, and so I remember going

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and seeing like Gossip Girl tours or like people taking

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>pictures on the met steps and being like, oh, I

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>wonder what that's where? And now I know. Now you

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>get the references exactly exactly. Okay, Wait, so you start

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>you from North Carolina, so where I know you've moved

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a bunch where or all the places you've lived? So

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I lived. I lived in California until I was in

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>seventh grade, and then I lived in North Carolina for

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>just one year and then I came right back, um

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to California. But like in here, I've moved like different

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>schools and different houses and things like that. What about you?

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Have you lived in New York your whole life. I'm

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a city girl. I've lived here my entire life. That's

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>so fun. Oh my gosh. I mean it's it's so

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting to me because everyone from l A one to

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>New York and like, I want to go to California.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>It's true. I was talking to this girl um in

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a story yesterday and she went to college in New

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>York and I was like, how is that? Like why

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>are you back? And she was like I wish I

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't back. I love it there, And I'm like, really,

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>everyone I talked to that goes like comes right back

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to California. But I don't know. I really like it,

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>but I when when did you say was the last

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>time you came here? I think it was last February.

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, it's been a long time. I mean, you're

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>not missing much. Like it's not like l A, like

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you go on to Melrose Girt shopping like no one's

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>out anymore, which is interesting. But like then again, like

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that's so crazy, Like that's all I want to do

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.479
<v Speaker 1>is go to New York. I had tickets for this

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>past weekend and I had them planned and then we

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>had to cancel them. So it was a sad moment.

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But have you seen any Broadway shows? Because that's the

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>one thing that if you're here that I recommend. Really,

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when I was younger, show those I like

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>saw completely forgot, but I will do that. Maybe we

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>should go to a show when I come. Yes, we

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>have to go together. Okay, I recommend mean girls on Broadway. Okay,

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>let's do it. Incredible, Uh, Hamilton's of course, and dear

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Van Hanson, those are like my go to three. We're

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>going all three. We're going to go to all of them.

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I am down for that, and I think one of

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the I think one of the other reasons why we

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>have so much in comedies. We were the same age.

0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>We're both in high school, and it's really I don't

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>know about you, but I'm finding it really difficult, as

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, school has gotten really weird because of COVID

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to just like have a healthy work life balance with

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>school and that it's also finding a balance with friends

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>who are there for the right reasons. I know you

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>started social media and like March, how in the time

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that you've been on social media, have you noticed any

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>people coming back into your life out of the blue

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>when you go viral? Oh? Yes, I think from like

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>all different years of my life, like all years in

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 1>all grades, like people have come back, Like the people

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that have hurt my feelings have been like will you

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>unblock me? Or will you like, I'm so sorry? Can

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>we be friends? Like I'd love to hang out And

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm never like I'm not necessarily a mean person, and

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>so I don't like to like be mean back, of course,

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's like I have no response for them. I'm like,

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, that's so crazy, or even like hanging

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 1>out with new people. They'll be like, oh my god,

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 1>I had a situation with a boy. It was like

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the first like I had. I was talking like zero boys,

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and then I talked to this one for like a

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>good two weeks in quarantine, and he would say things

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 1>like you'd be like, um, like you can meet my

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>family if you post me on your TikTok and like

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>no one knows about this, so you know whatever. But

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my gosh, like who says that? Who?

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Who does that? And so then I just find myself

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>in my house all day and my mom's like on

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Friday nights, She's like, I think you should go hang

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>out with your friends, and I'm like, like, what who

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>am I going out with? I will say I've had

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>some I try not to let people know about, like

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>if it's in that like when I'm talking to someone,

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>because then the first question is can I be on

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>your podcast? Why can't I be on your pod? I'm

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>like what, yeah, you know right? And I'm like who,

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Like I would never think to like say that to someone, right,

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Like who thinks to say that? What? It's ballsy though

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>it is, oh the whole like me, your family, if

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 1>you post me on TikTok. That was that was like, okay, wow,

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like that's ridiculous. I also feel like, I don't know

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>about you, but it's so hard to find a nice

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>guy nowadays because of COVID, because of social media and

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>everything's like over Snapchat and it's like just text me,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>like that's so much call me, I just me FaceTime.

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah what I want? I want Chuck Bass or something

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>like that all time. I don't get the hype with him,

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>can somebody, No, I don't get our first difference. Okay, No,

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>he's okay, I'm here's my reasoning. I the first episode,

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>he like tries to assault the little sister. Am I wrong? Okay,

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>he's grown, he grew up. He grew so much like okay,

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>he does. The first and second season, I was like,

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, who is this like trying to get with everyone?

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 1>And then by the end I was like, oh my gosh,

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I know it's a controversial opinion, but I found

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>him attractive when I found out he's British in real life,

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>because for some reason, someone gets like ten points when

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>they're British. So true, Okay, okay, thank you for saying that. Yeah,

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I know. I followed him on Instagram. And the thing is,

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>it's like he seems obviously we don't know him. Maybe

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>we should find out, we should maybe we should ask

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>him to come on. Yes, we need a group FaceTime call.

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>His name is Edwin. Okay, he looks like an Edwin,

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 1>he does, and he has the accent. And he also

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 1>in all of his Instagram posts he's like in Greece

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>in Paris, like just like living the life of bass.

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, wow, how amazing, Like maybe it

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>really does happen. Maybe I'm just like we're living in

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>such a weird time that I feel like for me,

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm always that are fron all the way ever since

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>like two thousand six. Yeah, I've never been. I've never been.

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh I know a banana, I've never or like musical

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like never like whoa, I know our second difference. No,

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I count this in the same boat. This is like

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the boys. Okay. I think that's fair because that means like,

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>if there's a boy that's like my type, like you're

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>not gonna like him too, So it's just not going

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 1>to create a conflict with us. It's a good thing, exactly,

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>it's good. Did be not too similar, but I feel

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>like something. I don't know if you've experienced this at

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>win l A, but it's really hard to find people

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that are there for the right reasons where it's not

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>for followers or to get on your TikTok. Have you

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>come up with a circle of privacy when you realize

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>someone's not there for the right reasons? How how have

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you dealt with that? Because I'm still learning because it's weird.

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, I'm still learning with that too. I wish

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I had I wish you had an exact answer you

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>could tell me with that, because when this boy did

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that to me, I just remember texting him and being

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>like sorry, like with school and everything, like I just

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>don't have time, like I need to stop talking with you,

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>like it's distracting me and all this stuff, and that

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 1>was it. And I would you say l O L Yeah, no,

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>he has like no idea that, like I guess I

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.719
<v Speaker 1>mean now he does, like sorry, actually blocked him. I

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want him say any of my stuff anymore. That's fair. Well,

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>blocking is such a great answer to a bunch of things,

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>like everyone is like blocking is so many but it's

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>so like you're just like on like they don't follow,

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, you don't follow them. Something you can do

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>that I didn't realize is that you can have the

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>person unfollow you. But like I'm a public account, so

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>like if he were to go, like he can still

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 1>see everything, but that means he would be looking you up.

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm saying, if they don't really look you up,

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>they would have no idea. They would just stop seeing

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>your feet. Okay, you're right, Okay, maybe I need to

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>retract a little bit and do the like remove the

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>follower type thing. I don't know. It's so interesting to

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 1>me because I've had the way people have treated me.

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>When I'm starting on my podcast. It wasn't to like

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>get a podcast. It was like a way to distract

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>from my anxiety and what was going on with my

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 1>friends at the time. And it's so interesting because I

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard a thing from them. But then I think

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>when Dixie came on, I got a bunch of d

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>M from people I haven't heard from in a year

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and a half to two years. So crazy, it's so weird,

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just weird. It's like it's kind of

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>like I compare it to when someone is like mean

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in school, Like I would like I don't I don't

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 1>think to be mean to someone, and so it's just

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>like that way where it's like I wouldn't think to

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>ask someone to post me or things like that. Well,

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>first of all, that's so aggressive, right, it's so aggressive,

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.439
<v Speaker 1>but like something else that I've been trying to find

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>interesting balance with this, making sure the positive comments are

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>what my priority priority are. But then you know, the

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>hate can get pretty, you know, shitty sometimes. Something that

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand is they hate you get is so

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>unjustified because you're just yourself. And I think you've had

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to prove you had to work harder than a lot

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>of people because you can't just do like the regular dances.

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>You have to you know, be yourself to prove that

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not just like every other TikToker. What has that

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>experience been like on your mental health? Just keeping a

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>healthy balance with it, but also not letting that hate

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>get to you. I mean, it's it's been hard. I

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, like in the beginn inning it was a

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of talking and a lot of crying and therapy

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and just getting through it. I've always had very thick

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>skin because of things that happened to me in person,

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and like things that went on in school and bullying

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and all that type of stuff, and so I guess

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm lucky. I was talking about this yesterday actually actually

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 1>with my mom, where it's like if I was like

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>mentally unstable at the beginning of quarantine from school and everything,

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and I started this like I don't know how I

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.439
<v Speaker 1>could have gotten through it. But so like when someone's

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 1>mean to me online, it doesn't like resonnate as much

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>as if like I've been in like Target or like

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 1>walking down the street or like walking my dogs and

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>people like call me names. They're like, oh my god,

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>it's Charlie and like all this stuff, and like I

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.959
<v Speaker 1>don't know how to react to it when it's in person.

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Wine I can, definitely I can. I can sometimes handle it,

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's also like I've had it's been harder and

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>like a lot more work than a lot of people

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I guess would see. Where it's like I post now,

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I post like vlogs, and I post like dancing videos

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 1>as well, and I post fashion videos and I post

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>cooking videos just so people can see like how I

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 1>actually am on camera. I wish it was like a

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>FaceTime call with every single follower of mine that like

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I could talk to them because that's how I've always

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 1>been in person. I'm like way more of a talk

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in person, just like you said, like I'm not a snapchatter,

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Like we like to call and talk with people, and

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like my personality is so much more than

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, anyone's looks. But it's it was just interesting

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>how it got off that way, and like in person too,

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 1>like that. Yeah, I get people do things online because

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they're behind a screen, but like the fact that they

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>did that in person is that people are balls. The

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I I could never like, I could never I know,

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to go in their minds. It's rough, like

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>what makes them think that, Like the psychology behind that

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>or is there like rainbow and like sunshine and we

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>go and there's something cleaning hate coming out somehow on

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>my YouTube. The fact that paparazzi are coming to you

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>as a teenage girl, like grown men, grown men asking

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>you questions about petty TikTok drama. Yeah, that's odd. Yeah,

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's like the difference between I guess

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like New York and like l A, where that's like

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>very normal. Here, it's just a difference between different I

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>guess paparazzi experiences would be it's like an astronomical difference,

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>like Hollywood Fix and like Fletcher, I don't know if

0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you've heard of him, um, but he's like he's like

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>gotten very respectful and asks me questions other like I

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 1>was on the sidewalk with my brother and he was

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 1>actually he was like doing like suffilon or something. There

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>was like I don't know, it was the whole thing,

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and he like comes up to me and he was like, oh,

0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is this a coult? Like are you joining a coal?

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>And then I was like I don't know how to

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>ad like I didn't know how to answer. That's like

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>so like are you always copying people? I'm like, who,

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>like nice to meet you? Like him out like great,

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>happy Sunday, Like what are you doing? Also, you're a

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>grown ass man, you're a six girl? What are you doing?

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm sixteen? Like okay, calm down, please, thank you

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>very much. Like I don't know how we'd handle myself

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>in that type of situation. That's overwhelming. Just like I said,

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 1>like the in person things are really hard like that,

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>like like it like stumps you like full on you

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>can be like you're on camera and then it goes

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube, I know, and then like let's say you're quiet,

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I know, I've watched Hollywood fixed videos where like

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>people are quiet and they just like walk by and

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>don't answer, and then all the comments are like, oh

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 1>my god, she's so rude or it's so hard. It's

0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>so it's like I can never win. So hard I know,

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>you can never win. You can never win. I remember

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that one Sunday we were walking like and like it's

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 1>like the guy like completely ruined my day. Like it

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>just like really hurt my feelings to like here because

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I've come so far from the beginning

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.679
<v Speaker 1>and like my reputation and everything like that, and like

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>here it be brought up again and here I am.

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 1>He was like walking backwards and like I was like,

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, you're about to trip and like being

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 1>like so nice, and then he walks away and I

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 1>was like wow, like is that really what people think

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.399
<v Speaker 1>of me? Still? And then I was like, why is

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>he like thirty years old follows me? Like, but I

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>think that's more telling on their part that it's Yeah, honestly,

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>kudos to you for just handling yourself against all of that. Okay,

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>enough about the crazy paparazzi. We have to take a

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>quick break. But when we come back, I want to

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 1>talk to you about how you balance social media with school,

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.200
<v Speaker 1>our mutual love a fashion and design. You might throw

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.160
<v Speaker 1>in a little Harry Styles talk and much more. We'll

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>be right back and we're back. I found it's hard

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to find a balance between everything going on in the world,

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>be work and also school. I mean, we're students. How

0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>have you been doing with that? Um? I have a

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 1>very i'd say, like strict schedule where it's like wake up,

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.400
<v Speaker 1>do school, finish like a good amount, like a lot

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.959
<v Speaker 1>of my classes, and then do work and then at

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.360
<v Speaker 1>night if I have anything more to do that and

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 1>like keep up with it. But last year, like the

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>ending of last year was rough, Like I got so behind,

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.479
<v Speaker 1>and like obviously it's just hard because who wouldn't like

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.439
<v Speaker 1>when someone when my mom, because my mom usually reminds

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.119
<v Speaker 1>me and like it's literally right here, like she like

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>makes lists of everything that I have to do during

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the day. When I like see that on the counter,

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.399
<v Speaker 1>and it's like make two tiktoks, make an Instagram picture,

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Like of course I want to do that instead of

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 1>writing an English essay of course, but like that's really

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the only reason that I can get to

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:57.719
<v Speaker 1>go to New York is because I want to go

0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to n y U and I want to go to

0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>college all these different things. But it's like it's a struggle,

0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.199
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like not a lot of tick talkers

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 1>or people in social media. I have to do it

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>because it seems like everyone is just doing this one thing,

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.719
<v Speaker 1>whereas there's quite there's like a little group that like

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I can tell they're like going to college or doing

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>like high school and this What about you? Though? What what?

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.919
<v Speaker 1>What's your schedule? You know what I mean? For that?

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 1>So with COVID, I would have if code wasn't a thing,

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd be going to classes five days a week. UM.

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 1>So now classes are only three days a week for me. Um,

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking five or six courses and I have my

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>school day. I have my classes. It's with other people

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 1>just virtually um, and then I do the work. I

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.199
<v Speaker 1>try and get dead I do in between classes. I

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 1>try and get work done in some classes if it's

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.399
<v Speaker 1>like you know, drama or something, Oh, maybe do a

0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>little a multitask a little bit ya off a yeah,

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.159
<v Speaker 1>like maybe doing some extra work. But I think the

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 1>hardest thing for me is, you know, I'll be doing

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 1>my statistics homework and then I'll get a phone call

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 1>being like, okay, we need this approval for x y z.

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 1>We need you to create x y z, and it's

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like I do that, but then I have to go

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>back in statistics mode. So it's like this weird thing

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that's like so hard to go back and forth between

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 1>this creative side of things that I want to do

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.679
<v Speaker 1>and things that you know, it's I'm glad I'm doing it,

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>but it's just like hard to go back and forth.

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 1>So true, it's so hard with like the different minds

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and like even like I've seen with like binging TikTok

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.439
<v Speaker 1>this whole quarantine. Like my attention span is so short.

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like rough, Like how like I can be watching

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:45.679
<v Speaker 1>TV and be like looking at my phone. Like it's like,

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's so bad, but you're so right. Well, like

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll be in the middle of a quiz and like

0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:52.960
<v Speaker 1>my mom will be like, oh and this is due

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 1>when you're done, and then I'm like okay, I'm done,

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Like let's do it now. It's like never gets finished.

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's hard. If anyone anyone listening to this, if

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 1>you have any tips, recommendations for us, we need this

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:10.680
<v Speaker 1>advice comment please, we are always looking for some advice. Please,

0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>we do need that. That's really something that's I didn't

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>know we had in common. Something else, believe it or not,

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:23.439
<v Speaker 1>is fashion. Oh yes, I have sewn for like ten years.

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I used to design clothes and all of that, and

0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I kind of got out of it when the podcast

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 1>started and all that. But I think, what's so cool

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing with your merch because it's different. It's

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 1>not like a basic shirt that has a weird saying.

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like actually something that's you know, there's thought into it.

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>It's actually cute and it's I can tell you're really

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 1>hard worker, which I really like. If you could have

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a fashion line, okay, and let's say you got one tomorrow,

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>what would your dream piece be to create? That's hard.

0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I am a huge fan of sweaters um as you

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 1>can see. Yeah, just so I think like a good

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean like a printed sweater like this with something

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.879
<v Speaker 1>on it. Um. It's so interesting that you say that

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>about my merch because not a lot of people know.

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to my manager about it yesterday that

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.679
<v Speaker 1>everyone's She was like, everyone loved the merch and I

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>was like I know, and like, little does everyone know

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 1>we had I had like a week to come up

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>with the ideas for all of that, and I had

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.159
<v Speaker 1>like a full like vision board like photoshopped like all

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>these different things on it, like it was gonna be

0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>a matching set. We were gonna have a bunch of

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.719
<v Speaker 1>different things going around it. And then I called I

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 1>like get on a call of fan joy and they're like, Okay,

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you have to keep it to three things, Max, And

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I was like three things, Max, Like I have like

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 1>ten things on this one sweatshow Like what am I

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? Um? And so I really appreciate that. It

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>was like a very big shock to me that everyone

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>liked it so much. Obviously, like I loved it, but

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't expecting other people too. I guess that's how

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 1>it is most of the time. Um. But back to

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:05.720
<v Speaker 1>your original question, I think a sweater would probably be

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 1>my favorite thing. What about you? Like that's hard because

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 1>it's like there's like a sure address pants, a sweater,

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 1>the accessories, not even Yeah, I love a good accessory

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 1>for the longest time, I didn't really appreciate, but like

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 1>they do so much. Like the littlest thing. I always

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 1>just have this one ring on. I just you know,

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 1>when you wear ring, it's like and you take it

0:23:27.520 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 1>off for so long, like it feels weird. Yes, like

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't taken this off in two years. Wow, Okay,

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 1>yeah queen, Um, I yeah. I used to have like

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the tan lines and everything, and then I got really

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 1>into rings. And then I saw Harry Styles cover on

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Vogue and I saw him wearing a ring on every finger.

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 1>So now I'm like, okay, now I have to like

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>if Harry Styles doesn't you know, I don't understand why

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>he got hate on that. That was the most iconic thing,

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the whole essay on that actually with like the whole

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.439
<v Speaker 1>like Candice Owen's talking about it, like I wrote like

0:23:57.480 --> 0:24:00.639
<v Speaker 1>a whole essay about it. It was so crazy, um

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that I had the chance to do that for English class.

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>It was like a monument project. And I was like,

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Harry Styles deserves a monument in the met in the

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>fashion exhibit, like it just has to happen. I don't

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 1>understand why he got hit for that either, So dumb

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:18.640
<v Speaker 1>when fun fact, when I was eight, I when I

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 1>was at jingle Ball, it was One Direction was pretty popping.

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>And I see Harristyles backstage and I go, I don't

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>think I've told anyone this. And I go up to him,

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:31.159
<v Speaker 1>being like an eight or nine year old, to be like, Hi,

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm a really big fan. Can I get an autographed

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 1>for my best friend? I got her an autograph. All

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember is he smelled so good? What really so good? Okay,

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I like, I don't I'm scared to say this out loud,

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>but like, I was never like a really one like

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a big one Direction fan, but ever since his new

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 1>album came out, my friend told me that it was

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>like a whole storyline. I was like, oh my god,

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm obsessed, Like this is amazing. I can't believe you.

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Remember that I loved it was one of the moments

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>because I was so overwhelmed. But I remember him being

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:12.199
<v Speaker 1>so nice because I was so little, and then he

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:14.159
<v Speaker 1>was also so nice to my brother. I was like,

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:17.640
<v Speaker 1>because that's the sticks with you seriously and also sticks

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 1>out to you when the ones aren't very nice. Yeah, exactly.

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Know when you look up to someone and they're actually nice.

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 1>It's like, wow, like, okay, I chose a right person.

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:30.679
<v Speaker 1>I will say one of the most full circle thing

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:34.359
<v Speaker 1>that's happened to me is in I was in Megan

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Trainers meet and greet. UM I went, I made a

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>poster everything, and like four years later she was on

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>my podcast and I told her about it. What did

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>she react with? She was like, that's awesome. It's a

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:50.720
<v Speaker 1>full circle. And then she started following me on Instagram

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, she's a real one. She's the sweetest.

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Love you, Megan when you look. I stood in line

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 1>for that meet and greet for so long and the

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.359
<v Speaker 1>fact it was just like the most full circle moment

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>for me. So everyone be nice to people. Yes, it

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>pays off. You don't know what they're impression of you

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 1>is going to be so true. And that's how I

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 1>feel with like even Instagram follows like my favorite like

0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 1>bloggers like I don't know, I like I used to

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:22.160
<v Speaker 1>like grow up watching Mrs Remy Ashton's UM YouTube video.

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know who that is. Yes,

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>of course I found out she follows me and I

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, what the heck just happened? Like what is

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 1>this um? But Yeah, that's so full circle with Megan.

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.359
<v Speaker 1>We love that. Did you watch all of like the

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Milaresha videos the Black Friday? Were you one of those? I?

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I binged the Black Friday ones. Yes, long

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 1>story short, Yes, I was a YouTube fanatic. I believe

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I went to that Girl's Night intour and I was like, no, why,

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm so jealous. I always I always wanted to go,

0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, you've picked them all. Wow, I took

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>what it was. I didn't. I was like, looking back,

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it was. So everyone was going

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone went crazy. What is like? What did they do

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the whole time? Like nothing and everything? Does that make

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>sense that so much? It's just because like they were there,

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and I think everyone just like they could have done

0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 1>anything and everyone would have screamed. Like imagine having that

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:32.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of fan base. I love that. I really do

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>like Alicia, Marie and all of them. Yes, when they

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 1>those collabs, when they all did like those summer claus

0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 1>was like the highlight of the month. But I wonder

0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 1>because we're at those ages like when they were doing that,

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.920
<v Speaker 1>which is so crazy to think, so like it makes

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 1>me think like what was actually going on? Right? Like

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 1>what like, like they could not have just been filming

0:27:58.080 --> 0:28:02.679
<v Speaker 1>YouTube videos all day. I out, like, what, okay, we

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 1>have to take one final break up. When we come back,

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk with you about misconceptions of high school,

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 1>how you found your group of people and your nonprofit

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>together is one and much more. We'll be right back

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:20.119
<v Speaker 1>and we're back. I'm curious if you've ever thought this,

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 1>But when I was younger, I thought I would be

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>so different at eighteen than I actually am. Like I

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:32.640
<v Speaker 1>was like eighteen, like, oh my god. That was like

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 1>when the last high school musical will look like an adult,

0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll be like, first of all, they cast people way

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 1>too old in movies, because I remember in ninth grade,

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my goodness, there are gonna be

0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>so many key boys. No, they're pre pubescent high school boys,

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and they this the movies and the show's totally played me.

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 1>It's such a click bait. Like again, just have to

0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>bring it back to Gossip Girl Chuck Boss, like like

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.040
<v Speaker 1>he was probably like thirty filming it, Like what that's

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:04.200
<v Speaker 1>not really they were not the way first about the

0:29:04.200 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 1>way they dressed. They were not high school or see

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that's the kind of high school stuff that I wish

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>was talked about me too, Like I was so blindsided

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 1>walking in. Is there anything you wish you're going into

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 1>high school? I feel like I just I could have

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:21.160
<v Speaker 1>definitely skipped like the whole like trying to make friends

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:24.040
<v Speaker 1>face like I was gonna be alone anyway, might as

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>well just like because I don't know, like just do

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. Um, but yeah, I probably could have

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 1>done without that there trying to make friends first month

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and now after watching gossip Girl, I figured like I've

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>been much more confrontational about things, where like, if something's

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 1>bothering me, I'll like say it because I'm like there would. Um.

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't like her. I don't know why she's so

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>she's mean. I'm sorry her, and we're going back to this,

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 1>but I know I don't get that, like they have

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a very toxic relationship. I don't get the hype we're

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I think this is just one of those things we're

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>going to agree to disagree on. Yeah, okay, moving on,

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 1>moving on, And what were we talking about? We're talking about,

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, being confrontated. What do you wish you knew

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>in high school? Oh? Yeah, what about you? What do

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you wish you knew. I've noticed some girls can be mean,

0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you find it everywhere. But I feel

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>like if we support each other and if we all

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 1>know that we're not competition, then that would make society better.

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 1>In turn, that's true. I've met so many great people,

0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>but so many people are so like the girls sometimes

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 1>don't have great motives. Yeah, Like I don't understand, like

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.160
<v Speaker 1>we shouldn't be pitted against each other. There's enough of

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that in this world. Seriously, if anything, we should support

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 1>each other more. And it's green. Girls can be mean.

0:30:53.400 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I was blindsided by that. I was also very blindsided

0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 1>by like like I didn't think people like smoked or

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 1>like had alcohol. I was just like I was like what,

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 1>like what do you guys doing, Like I'm confused here,

0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>or like I don't I don't know. Like we should

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 1>make like a reality. It's like like high school reality.

0:31:15.040 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Like again then podcast together for another one just talking

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 1>about the high school like reality. Yeah, we really should. Honestly,

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I will say that one of the things that blindsided

0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:29.560
<v Speaker 1>me most um in New York. I'm sure this is everywhere,

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 1>but in New York, like especially, drugs are so prevalent.

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember there's an eighth grader who did acid in

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 1>eighth grade. My brothers were in eighth grade last year

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and they told me about someone doing that too, and

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, my goodness, that is thing. Like

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a thing, and I think it's a thing.

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:52.240
<v Speaker 1>To the fact that like I'm over here, and then

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 1>like all of high schoolers are over here, and it's

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 1>just like, everyone, stay safe. Don't do acid. It's not

0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>it will it will mess up your brain. I'm a

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 1>stre you just stay safe, yea, Like I just stay safe.

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Like I totally get experimenting, like that's part of high school,

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 1>but never do anything that can kill you. That's my motto. Definitely.

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I glad this isn't just a New York thing though. Yeah,

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad. Yeah, but I can I can definitely see

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 1>where it's more. I don't know, I can kind of

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:24.320
<v Speaker 1>see the I mean, like people I see on TikTok

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 1>that I follow, like girls from New York are kind

0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 1>of scary. Sometimes I understand that. I can understand why

0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 1>that is. I think it's all it's but that's everywhere.

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like finding your people. I think it's only again,

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to this girl in the story. Yesterday

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 1>she went to f I T and she was like, um,

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>she was like, I was like, so, how would you

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 1>describe the difference, And she was like, if someone doesn't

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>like you in New York, like they'll say it to

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 1>your face. If someone doesn't like you here, like Bill

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>talk bad about you to like tend of their friends,

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and like you will have no idea, and like that's

0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.720
<v Speaker 1>just how I don't know, that's how it goes. I

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 1>guess it's interesting. No one has told me ever to

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 1>my face they didn't like me. But I've just heard

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 1>like a lot of gossiping, which I just high school,

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>And then I think that's just high school. Like high school.

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the main things that I've learned

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>is don't let that it feels so big in the moment,

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:14.800
<v Speaker 1>but it's so small on the grand scheme of things.

0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Something else but I've been so happy when I found

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>this out, is that you have a nonprofit, which I

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>did not realize. I've always wanted to create a nonprofit.

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>So what advice do you have for other people, because

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>it can be very intimidating to start a project or

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:32.800
<v Speaker 1>start wanting to get in business, whether that is a

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 1>nonprofit or a fashion line. What advice do you have

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 1>for people who just want to start? That aspect itself

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 1>is overwhelming, it's kind of dumb, But like UM, as Nike,

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you would say, just do it. No, there's no like

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 1>downside in in starting it, and like that's the thing is.

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember, like I wanted to start my nonprofit organization

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:56.400
<v Speaker 1>UM for years, Like I knew like I knew I

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:58.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do it, but I was like, I'm not ready,

0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Like it's not planned out enough, like I don't know

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.320
<v Speaker 1>like what we're gonna call it, all these different things,

0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And then I got to the point where we were

0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 1>just like we have to start now. If we're not

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>going to start now, like it's not going to help

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:12.879
<v Speaker 1>anyone UM, and so just starting it and like as

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you progress it will change. Like for example, for mine,

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I started it with my two best friends Sophie and Lola,

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 1>who are twins UM and so us us three started

0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 1>it and like when we first started it, we post

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 1>like once a week, like just like a long video,

0:34:28.320 --> 0:34:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and then we started skipping weeks and now we've gotten

0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to the point where it's like, Okay, we're just gonna

0:34:33.200 --> 0:34:36.120
<v Speaker 1>post like a bunch like every day like like quotes

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and things like that, Like it doesn't have to be

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:41.280
<v Speaker 1>like super planned out, but with like starting a fashion

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:45.800
<v Speaker 1>line or starting company, it's just starting. Starting is like

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the hardest part saying with like an essay, like like

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:51.359
<v Speaker 1>physically like starting, Yeah, you just need to start it

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and don't overthink it too. That's a big thing. I

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:56.799
<v Speaker 1>can get in my head a lot about it, and

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:59.920
<v Speaker 1>then you're just in this downward spiral. Tell everyone how

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:01.759
<v Speaker 1>how you got started with it? Because I think it's

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a really good story. Um, well, it's a good story.

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 1>It's also kind of sad, how very how like kick

0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 1>started so basically again started it with my two friends

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Sophie and Lola and their brothers had an anti bullying

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 1>nonprofit in high school and they went to like Columbia

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and USC as well, and so you're like, okay, we

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 1>have to do it too, like fall on their footsteps.

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Like they're like just these amazing people in high school

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:28.920
<v Speaker 1>doing great things, and we're like, okay, we need to

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:32.440
<v Speaker 1>start it too. So we started together as one um

0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 1>started posting doing you know, good deeds we do like

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 1>mis for Monday things like that. With that, I wait

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>as a do. I love that? Thank you. That's like

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:45.959
<v Speaker 1>a lot of planning to like kind of iconic mis

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:49.799
<v Speaker 1>for Monday. It's the Monday. It was a hole my canoes. Yes,

0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 1>so like handing out flowers to people. It was mis

0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:56.279
<v Speaker 1>for Monday post day. Um, can we make that a

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:59.920
<v Speaker 1>national holiday? Thaturday's misa Monday. No, it should just be

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.360
<v Speaker 1>like an Instagram hashtag, like you do something nice on

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Monday in time, and you have to wear blue too. Yes,

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:08.360
<v Speaker 1>of course I love that. Okay, continue, We're gonna start that,

0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:11.960
<v Speaker 1>um okay. And so a few weeks in two together's one,

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:15.680
<v Speaker 1>there was actually, um a shooting at our synagogue. It

0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:18.480
<v Speaker 1>was also where Sophie, Lola and I went to preschool

0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and grew up, and so like all of our teachers

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.520
<v Speaker 1>were there, um, all of like our mentors were there.

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:26.720
<v Speaker 1>And so there's a shooting and it like really rocked

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:30.000
<v Speaker 1>our community. Like it was seriously less than a mile

0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:33.800
<v Speaker 1>away from my house. That's terrifying. Yeah, it was scary,

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:37.359
<v Speaker 1>and so our whole community had no idea what to do,

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:40.439
<v Speaker 1>and like even going to school, like no teachers were

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about it and no one was like acknowledging it

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and we were like, what the heck, Like this needs

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a thing, like we need to talk about

0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 1>so people know it's not okay, and like so people

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:51.200
<v Speaker 1>know they have like a place to come to. And

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 1>so that's when we really kick started together as one,

0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and we sold like a bunch and we made T

0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:58.880
<v Speaker 1>shirts and we sold a bunch of T shirts and

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:02.359
<v Speaker 1>like everyone my school is wearing them. And we donated

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 1>like over a few thousand dollars to UM, the leaders

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of the synagogue in the preschool, and that was an

0:37:08.880 --> 0:37:12.880
<v Speaker 1>amazing moment because we grew up with them UM, and

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:14.840
<v Speaker 1>so that's kind of how we started our name. And

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:19.040
<v Speaker 1>then from there it became a club UM. And we figured,

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.000
<v Speaker 1>like how we kind of pitched the club to our

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 1>principle is that there was like Chess club for people

0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 1>who played chess. There was Chinese club for people who

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>are Chinese. There's UM Spanish club for people who speak Spanish,

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.960
<v Speaker 1>but there's no club for like everyone to go to

0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:35.480
<v Speaker 1>if you want like a safe place. And so we

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:39.480
<v Speaker 1>created together as one, which was basically like a classroom.

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 1>It was like the biggest club in school. Was crazy

0:37:41.680 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 1>that it's like a classroom. What we're like I like

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.080
<v Speaker 1>one of our club meetings was you'd come and like

0:37:47.239 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 1>just eat lunch with your friends and like everyone was

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>talking and we'd like make nice posters saying nice things,

0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:54.879
<v Speaker 1>and like we'd put them out for everything and then

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 1>posted on with the Monday things like that. Um. And

0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>so it really got to be an amazinging organization at school.

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:05.040
<v Speaker 1>And then we're just about to expand to other schools

0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:08.839
<v Speaker 1>and COVID hit and so that like just stopped everything, um,

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and so we're continuing to rebuild that from now. What's

0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:15.560
<v Speaker 1>amazing about me gaining this following over Quarantine is that

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it has transferred over to Together as

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.759
<v Speaker 1>One and like, for example, there's it Together as One

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:23.360
<v Speaker 1>club in Paris, and like they'd have no idea about

0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 1>it if it wasn't for like starting on tiktoking, like

0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like it kind of started on hate and

0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:33.399
<v Speaker 1>like here bring in I know, turning into like that's awesome, right,

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:38.480
<v Speaker 1>so cool um. And so for people who want who

0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:41.440
<v Speaker 1>are listening to this, if like this seems like something

0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to be a part of, um, you can

0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 1>start one at your school if you go to Together's One.

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Well on Instagram, it's called t G a O movement

0:38:50.200 --> 0:38:53.319
<v Speaker 1>because I was the only domain available. Um, we have

0:38:53.480 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 1>like a whole power point slide for like starting a

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 1>club and just we like are very we're like advocating

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:03.760
<v Speaker 1>for like kindness and just like being very inclusive and

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 1>selling shirts and donating it and we will have like

0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 1>holes for which donation center we should do and we

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 1>need kindness. We do, we really do. Back to your

0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:18.719
<v Speaker 1>question before, which is like, like how how do I

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:22.799
<v Speaker 1>start something? If you like again you like just like

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Together as one, Like we just had to like start it,

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and like something happened and we took that and like

0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:29.880
<v Speaker 1>turned it into kindness and turned it into love and

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:34.680
<v Speaker 1>like a super like great place for a community. Um,

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 1>and so anyone who maybe if you don't have an

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 1>idea like started Together as One club, like it's made

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.879
<v Speaker 1>and like it's only like we only wanted to get

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:47.080
<v Speaker 1>bigger and like better and more stuff can come from it.

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:49.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think we all need kindness. And I think

0:39:49.520 --> 0:39:52.520
<v Speaker 1>it's awesome what you're doing with that in your platform,

0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and you're not just doing it to post stupid stuff

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:58.319
<v Speaker 1>but to actually have a meaningful impact, And I think

0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that's really incredible. You so much. It was like a

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 1>thing where I when people see when I see people

0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:07.680
<v Speaker 1>wearing like a together is One shirt, it's such a

0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:09.840
<v Speaker 1>sign that like, okay, we have the same morals. And

0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that's what was really important to us, um, just making

0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:15.520
<v Speaker 1>sure we had that community of good people and like

0:40:15.600 --> 0:40:18.799

0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:21.600
