00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: a tool for you and the way you created your

72
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: modeling career through it. No, yeah, Um, Instagram was such

73
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: an important tool for me, not only to begin my career,

74
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: but as like personally, like I learned so much off

75
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: of social media and like, um all these like body

76
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: positivity like platforms. Right. Um, I definitely got inspired to

77
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: take that challenge onto myself and do that for myself.

78
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: You know. So I wanted to start posting pictures of

79
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: my body on Instagram before I was boodle selfie, Like

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: I could not take a picture of my body because

81
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: I just was not comfortable, um being photographed. Yeah up,

82
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: like nothing like nothing under because yeah, I was just

83
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: so self conscious. And then I was. I just it

84
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: was my first second year of college, for a second

85
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: year of college, and I was just so tired of

86
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: feeling like that, feeling so insecure, and I was like,

87
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna fake it till I

88
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: make it, until I feel good and it works. You know.

89
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's really hard to get to that place. But sometimes, yeah,

90
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: literally I had to fake it till I made it.

91
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: And now like I'm actually living that like positivity that

92
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: I always wanted, and yeah, that's what I do on

93
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: on Instagram. I I really want to share that with

94
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: like my body like people. I mean, I don't really

95
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: say that many things about body positivity. Um, I do

96
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: what I when I want to, and um, but just

97
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: with my images, people like just you just being there,

98
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: like that's inspiring and like, yeah, exactly existing And that's

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: that's what I love. That's what I love about Instagram.

100
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: That people get to see that and they're like, wait,

101
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: I can look like that too, I can dress up

102
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: like that. I can do that, and yeah, I love it.

103
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: We love well, you know, we love Instagram absolutely, and

104
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: I feel like there's I think that women are really

105
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: revolutionizing how people use Instagram, Like I think of the

106
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: people in in our circles, the creatives that we know

107
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: who are really just like using Instagram for two further

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: their careers from whether there are are mostly more headed yeah, right,

109
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Like especially if we think of like Latino Instagram, Yeah,

110
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: run it, the ladies, ladies, the queers. Yeah. And I

111
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: feel like there's something about like also being vulnerable on Instagram, right,

112
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: because it could be like boodle lamb right one day,

113
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: but then the next day it's like you're having a

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: bad day and you share it with people and then

115
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: they're like, you know what, I'm having a bad day too,

116
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: or I went through that. Also, thank you for sharing

117
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: your journey with us. I know I'm not alone, and

118
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: that's something that's really powerful. I think about Instagram when

119
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: folks get to share their vulnerability and so, like, have

120
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: you always wanted to model? Is that something that's newer

121
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: for you actually really knew? I think I started off,

122
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: like on Instagram, wanting to be like an emy way

123
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, okay, em like I M way. But then

124
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, like this whole fashion thing.

125
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: I love it because when I was younger, I didn't

126
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: really get to explore fashion and style because I didn't

127
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: allow myself to do that because of my body, because

128
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I can't wear that. I can't

129
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, I can't dress a cute. I would just

130
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: wear like yeah, like really basic things. And then I

131
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: was like, no, I want to be cute from head

132
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: to toe. I want to get my I want to

133
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: get dressed up. I want to wear the what the

134
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: skinny girls are wearing. Like I don't want to exclude

135
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: myself from that, and I want to do it. And

136
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: so that was my my mission. My mission was to

137
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: like wear these things that I would see like skinny

138
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: girls doing, and I'm like, I'm going to do that too.

139
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: So like I wouldn't wear shorts, I couldn't wear in

140
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: the summer, like I'd be wearing jeans and sweatshirt because

141
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: like I didn't want to show my body. But um no,

142
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Like I was like, I need to start changing that.

143
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: So I started challenging myself to wear shorts and then

144
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: to wear crop tops and little things like that. And

145
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: then I'm like I'm gonna put like I'm gonna put

Speaker 1: and photo, which was really awesome. So I normally do

201
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: photo for the most part because I do like a calm,

202
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: which is like, you know, when you're shopping online, you'll

203
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: see me there. So I also did um, like their

204
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: promo videos and things like that. They're commercials. So that

205
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: was really really awesome. That was really exciting. Yeah, so

206
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,319

207
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: I have in your experiences modeling so far, are you

208
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,160

Speaker 1: I compared to their other models, they're very very very fair.

215
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: But um, I don't know, yeah they booked me, but

234
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: how you because you're a student, yes, how do you

235
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: balance your modeling career? Y'all? It's hard. It's hard. You know,

236
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: school is really hard. I've I've always struggled with school.

237
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna be like wow, you know, so

238
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: you're not. It's hard. Okay, So it's taking a lot

239
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: of time to you know, figure it out and manage

240
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: my time. But um, I'm just I just I do

241
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: it because I have to do it, you know, Like

242
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: I want to do both. Like I for a while,

243
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: I was like, what if I have to stop school?

244
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: But no, like I had to keep going and something

245
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: that I sailed to do and like it's something that's

246
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: so important to me. I worked so hard and like

247
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: so many few people from where I come from get

248
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: to go to like um universities, and I was like, no,

249
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: I had to do this, and then UM modeling just

250
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: kind of happened, and um, yeah, I had to do both.

251
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: I have to finish both. They're both very very important

252
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: to me. What are you studying if you don't mind,

253
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm double majoring in Chica. Next studies in Spanish. I

254
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: love it. I love what I'm studying. Um, I started

255
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: off as a comedy, didn't work out, but I think

256
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: it was it was just meant to be. I I

257
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: love the field that I'm studying. I think it's amazing.

258
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: It's just that I think that really connects with my

259
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: career now as a model, because it really it's what's

260
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: motivating me to create my presence and to make space

261
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: for myself and for women like me, you know. So

262
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: it's it's so important. It really ties in together. So yeah,

263
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: I love it. And I've learned so much like as

264
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: like a woman, as a woman of color, as that

265
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: you've got on. It's just it's like and then's something

266
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: that I never got to learn in high school because

267
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: you know, we don't really get to learn about our

268
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: people or are like um, especially like Mexican history, like

269
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: Mexicans in like the US, and that I hadn't really

270
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: heard any of that until I went to you see,

271
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm so glad. I'm so lucky that I

272
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: got to have the opportunity. Yeah, congratulations, thank you. That's

273
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: fabulous than you think. And it really resonates with me

274
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: about you know, struggling with school, like I think, like

275
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: I feel very obligated to continue with school, like I

276
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: don't really want to. Yeah, you know, like I'm applying

277
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: to her at school like very begrudgingly, like I don't

278
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: want to go, but I feel like I have to. Yeah,

279
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: it definitely looks like that. So I commend you, you know,

280
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: sticking it out and yeah, you too, what's amazing. You

281
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,720

00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: like your Mala said, like even though maybe you're doing

283
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: it be grudgingly, right, You're like, I have to write.

284
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: But I think going back to what you said about

285
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: carving out your own space and doing that in academia

286
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: and the institution is it makes it so much more rewarding.

287
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: It's annoying, but it's also necessary. It is really necessary. Yeah,

288
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: nowhere else can you get like, it's it's really important

289
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,240

Speaker 1: are they played too many games, honestly, right, honestly, Yeah,

475
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: it's we were so so we were talking like I

476
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: had an experience the other day, right, Um, I talked

477
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: about it on my Instagram story and I went out

478
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: in North Hollywood, right, And I'm trying to expand my horizon,

479
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: so like usually I am not really into white people romantically,

480
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: like I kind of stay away. I prefer people of color.

481
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: I just really do. I always have. But I was

482
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: like at this bar with my friend and this really

483
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: fine white man like came to talk to us, right,

484
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like cool, like he's cute whatever. We're talking

485
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: and I said something about like many ship men are

486
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: trash blah blah blah, and this man took his hand,

487
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: his white hand, and he covered my mouth, like he

488
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: physically covered my mouth, and it was really fucking strange.

489
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: I'm very surprised at myself because I didn't get angry,

490
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: like I didn't yell at him, which usually I would.

491
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: I was very calm, and because I was with my

492
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: friend and she said something to him. But yeah, so

493
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I gave one white man a chance,

494
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: and look at what he knows. I get. Any I

495
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: had this experience and it was so funny because I

496
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: didn't date a white guy or anything, but I talked

497
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: to one for like a week, and literally as all

498
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: that could black, I remember this time period. Oh my god.

499
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: I was like, anyway, it was a dark period um

500
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: and so the so I had actually blocked this memory

501
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,000

Speaker 1: asked her to dance. But then me and like my

606
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: other queer friends, like, we're just I'm just there's a

607
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: lot of straight guys. They go hunting for the straight

608
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: that are there, yes, that are there with their queer friends,

609
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: And I'm just like what, Like me and my friend

610
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: are like Venus canceled every time she gets asked to dance,

611
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: and we're just there isn't gonna circle. When I was young,

612
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: I used to we I used to go to this

613
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: eighteen plus club called Tiger Heat, but he has gone

614
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: to I'm not going to stay one because I'm not

615
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: trying to get that by the queers. I was like,

616
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm a teen. That was my ship back in the day.

617
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: Baby queer. Yes, And I loved it because they would

618
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: always have like what Destiny's Child night, Goga night, telling

619
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: Roland night also, but they were always like way older,

620
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: like weird men. There always there's always, like any any

621
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: queer pla club or bar you go to, there's always

622
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: like that straight guy looking hunting for that by himself.

623
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm just so gross of what tell us No I

624
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: dated someone remember that would go out and about alone.

625
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: Remember it was very weird, kind of like red flat.

626
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: I was like, where did you who did you go with?

627
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: And he was like, oh, I want by myself to

628
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: just check out the event. And I was like, see,

629
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: I think there's one thing, like Okay, Like I have

630
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: a friend who she's like super independent. She likes to

631
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: travel and she'll travel to different countries by herself, and

632
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: she'll like go to a bar way different. That's one thing, right,

633
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: That's one thing like where you have the confidence to

634
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: be like I'm just gonna go to a bar and

635
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna go by myself and grab a drink

636
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: and if I talk to people at the bar, that's cool,

637
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: you know. And then it's another thing to be like

638
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: a man who's constantly going to party by yourself, like

639
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: a clubs, Like why what are you doing? It's creepy, right,

640
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: don't do creepy. Don't do that. Just stay home. Just

641
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: stay home an adult, stay home a lot of beer.

642
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: I need to stay home. I think that if you

643
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: have a freaking like wife and life partner, stay home

644
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: to take your wife out, leave her singles alone, leave

645
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: room for the single, get out of my way. Yes.

646
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: Do you do you all ever date people who follow

647
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: you off of Instagram or hang you know? Do you

648
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: have a policy? Do you have a rule. How do

649
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: you handle that? Instagram is almost like a dating app

650
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: basically a dating app. Yeah, I dated anyone, like through Instagram,

651
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: but I've you know, hung out with people, but I

652
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: just coming notes. Yeah yeah they haven't. They did, never

653
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: went anywhere. So yeah, part of me. I was having

654
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: this conversation with my friend Monica actually the other day

655
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: about like, Okay, so let's say somebody follows you on

656
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: your Instagram. We put a lot of information on our

657
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: Instagram about our thoughts, our opinions, are politics, how we

658
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: spend our time. So I was like, yeah, like I

659
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: saw this guy and he did all these things and

660
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: he was doing everything right, and he was so nice

661
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: and he was so great. And Monica was like, Okay,

662
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: but is he only doing this stuff because he knows

663
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: how you think because he follows your Instagram? You know?

664
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: So is this real or is it just like he's

665
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: catering to what he's seen on your I G And

666
00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, that's awful. That's scary. Do

667
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: you do you have to think about that? Now? You

668
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: have to think about they have they have an inside. Yeah,

669
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have him about them. Oh, let's talk about this.

00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: and you're trying to mess around on vacation. That's what

677
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: what's happened for. Oh my god, that's true. I have literally,

678
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: like while traveling, I've downloaded what'sapp just for vacation and

679
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: then gotten rid of it. The second I come home,

680
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't need this anymore. I used to

681
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: have to talk to last three mouth yeah, So that's

682
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: why I use it for. That's why you know, older

683
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 1: like Latino men are very bold in general they have

684
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: no children, and then the young ones not enough right,

685
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: And I was too shy to say like yeah, girl,

686
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: but I've gotten those. Yes, we've got we get those

687
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: sometimes like just say huh, like like some lately, like

688
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: the couple of times that I have been going out,

689
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: like I've asked guys out to dance, like I haven't

690
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: because otherwise they don't ask. They don't ask, they don't ask, Okay,

691
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: they do, let's talk about okay, let's talk about that. Okay.

692
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: So if you go out, you look cute, yeah, and

693
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: the men just stare yeah, like what are you doing?

694
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: And they're right there hanging out with their homies, like

695
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 1: are you going to ask someone out to dance or what?

696
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: And so yeah, like if I'm like dancing close to

697
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: someone like oh my, like like you know, but yeah,

698
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: it's because I hate waiting. I hate waiting for someone

699
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: to ask me to dance. Of course I can't. Frustrating

700
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: and sometimes I'm like, you know, you feel like sometimes

701
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: you can feel discouraged. Like sometimes I would go out,

702
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, to the club and like no one asked

703
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: me how to dance, and like, I know, like and

704
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: like I would go because when I was younger, I

705
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: would go out with my sister to the club, like

706
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: to like the North Club. Like I don't know if

707
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: you've ever been bad, but yeah I went like a

708
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: couple of times and no one asked me to dance,

709
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are you thinking? What are you thinking?

710
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: But I was told I hope I heard that this

711
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: is a rule. I'm not sure if you've heard this,

712
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: but like you have to dance with at least one

713
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: ugly guy and even if you don't want to dance

714
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: with them, so that other guys will dance with you

715
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: because they need. It's like a snob so like that

716
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: they know that, Okay, she's down. Who's more of a

717
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: snob me for like not dancing with anybody or the

718
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: men for yeah no, yes, that's so bad. Yeah. But

719
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: my experience, and I've talked about this on my Instagram,

720
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: is that like when we go out, I always get ignored,

721
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: Like I never get a problem Latinos. By Latinos trying

722
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: to approach me, it is a miracle. It is afraid.

723
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: If a Latino approaches me, I always do well with

724
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: black eyes. They are not afraid to come up and

725
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: say hi, and they're very polite and they're nice and

726
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: they're like, oh you want to drink, Yeah, they'll talk.

727
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: I haven't had a problem, but with Latinos, I'm like, listen,

728
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: if our entire race dies out, like if all Latinos die,

729
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: those check, I don't know what's going on. I think

730
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: I was telling my mom. I was like, they don't

731
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: approach me. They don't know. They don't like me. I

732
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. They're not assertive. Yeah,

733
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: it's not about us. It's not us. Of course, we're

734
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: not a problem. No, it's them. We're perfect. Recognize that

735
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm perfect. I'm like hard here, I'm like, are they broke? Yeah,

736
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: that's why met them too. But it's different for us.

737
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: It's okay if we're broke. It's okay if I'm broke. Right,

738
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: you're not the one buying the drink. Yeah. So anyways,

739
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: I think we have one more song we did I mean,

740
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: did we have any other announcements or like things we

741
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about with Vanessa and Danny while we

742
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: have them. Well, it's the end of the year. It's

743
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: the end of the year. It is our last this

744
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: is our last episode. We're happy in a cute way.

745
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: I agree. So let's let's talk about if you have

746
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: have you been doing any reflections or thinking about your

747
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: seventeen I know people do their top memories and they're

748
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: what they've done. Have you guys been doing any of that?

749
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: I have, like all year, what I've been learning a lot?

750
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, um, especially like because I'm you know, finishing

751
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: school and I'm just like, oh my god, life is scary.

752
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen after? So I've just been thinking a

753
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: lot about that. I feel like I was really worried,

754
