1
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Good morning, Keeps, and welcome to WIKA f Daily with

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody recording from the Home Bunker

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: and friends. Happy Black History Month, or, as I like

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: to say, the shortest fucking month of the year. So far,

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis has not outlawed it in the state

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: of Florida. So here's hoping we get through those entire

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: twenty eight days without some official governmental executive order stating. Thus,

8
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, every single day that I turn on the microphone,

9
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: here our days that have become increasingly heavy, right our

10
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: days where you know, the alerts on my phone from

11
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: the New York Times, from Washington Post, just any fucking

12
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: breaking news outlet gives me heart palpitations. And I'm not

13
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: actually lying or being hyperbolic, like I actually am getting

14
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: sweaty palms and nervous, and the reason being that the

15
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: latest brutal killing of Tyree Nichols has really sent me

16
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: as it has so many people. But I had to

17
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: really make a conscious decision, as I shared with all

18
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: of you and I shared on social media, to not

19
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: watch the video and to give other people permission not

20
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: to watch the lynching of a black man on video.

21
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: As people stood around who took oaths to serve and protect,

22
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: and watched him be beat to death. I don't know

23
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: what has happened or what is happening to our society,

24
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: but it feels like in so many ways we are devolving.

25
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: You know, I can remember, as I'm sure so many

26
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: of you can. Maybe if you're in a state that

27
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: doesn't ban history books and doesn't ban the truth about history,

28
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: remember going through your history books and seeing the images

29
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: of black men hung from trees, tattered clothing, next broken bodies,

30
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: battered and just a bunch of white onlookers dressed in

31
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: their Sunday finest using black death as entertainment, black tortures entertainment.

32
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: That's the history of this country. That's the history that

33
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Ronda Santis and Greg Abbott and Republican governors all around

34
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: this country don't want you to see and don't want

35
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: you to know. And the question that you need to

36
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: ask yourselves is why, right, why is it that I

37
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: just heard yesterday that Republican lawmakers in Florida have introduced

38
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: legislation that would allow anybody in the state of Florida

39
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: to carry a concealed weapon. And guess what, you don't

40
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: even have to worry about training because they're going to

41
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: wave that too. When asked on CNN why they would

42
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: introduce such a legislation at a time when we are

43
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: seeing increase political violence increase, mass shootings increase, you know,

44
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: gun related deaths, CNN says, is this about safety, the

45
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: safety of Floridians. The GOP person responding said, oh no,

46
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: this legislation isn't about safety. It's about everyone's god given

47
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: right to carry a gun. So I just want to

48
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: be clear about what Rhonda Santis and Florida Republicans are

49
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: doing in their minds. It is more dangerous for you

50
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: to carry a book. It is more dangerous for books

51
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: to be on the shelves that offer alternative perspectives to

52
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: this nation, to our history, and to our present day lives.

53
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: It is more dangerous for them to have books on

54
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: the shelf about anti racism right and finding back against

55
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: capitalism and lifting up LGBTQ people, LGBTQ Americans that also

56
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: have been part of the progression and perfecting of this union.

57
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: That they find those voices and that education more dangerous

58
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: than flooding the streets of that state with guns, giving

59
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: everyone the ability to carry one and not even be trained.

60
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: They are telling you the quiet part out loud, that

61
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: education is dangerous. Education is powerful, and they don't want

62
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: you to have it. So they want us to remain dumb,

63
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: to remain disconnected and subdued. Right, but also living in

64
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: a climate of fear that tells me, I can't learn

65
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: about the person down the street, but I have the

66
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: ability to defend myself against the lies, the mythical stories

67
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: that I'm being brainwashed with on a day to day basis.

68
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: You see, folks, knowledge is power. It is why they

69
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: did not want enslaved people to learn to read. It

70
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: is why they made it illegal for enslaved black people

71
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: to learn to read, because you see, when you start

72
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: to read and you begin to question, you begin to

73
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: question what you're reading, you begin to question the people

74
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: around you and why they have been anointed. The leaders,

75
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: the pastors, the preachers, the priests, the royals, who created

76
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: those rules that said you are to be subjugated, but

77
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: they are to be revered. Who created the rules that

78
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 1: said that slavery was a quote necessary evil in order

79
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: to build this nation, But then it's such so fucking necessary,

80
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: But they don't want to tell you about the rape

81
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: and the torture and the lynchings that would cut out

82
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: live babies from black woman's bodies and toss them in

83
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: the sea because they don't want to face their own violence.

84
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: You see, what I have been wrestling with is that

85
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: white Americans are both the problem and the solution to

86
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: systemic racism, political violence, police brutality to all that essentially

87
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: ails us because through their own creation, they have made

88
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: themselves the ones that are in charge. And so when

89
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: you look around and you see everything around you going

90
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: to shit, who the fuck is to blame? Not the

91
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: people that you've taken away power from and the boat from,

92
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: and their voice from, and their lives from. Not those people.

93
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: But that's who they're selling. That's what they're selling to

94
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: Fox News and to news Max and to QAnon that

95
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: it's the people that literally have no power, have no wealth,

96
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: are the ones that are causing all of the problems,

97
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: not the ones that are legislating it. I realize more

98
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: and more that Rohn de Santis's quest is not about

99
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: white comfort, it is about white subjugation and domination. You see,

100
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: a conscious and responsible white public, white American public would

101
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: begin to demand better, would see that all of these

102
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: pieces of this puzzle that have been broken and spread

103
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: across this nation never to come together to create the

104
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: full story and picture that once they start to bring

105
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: these pieces together and they say, oh shit, racism didn't

106
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: end with the Civil Rights Act. Racism never ended, and

107
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: that it is embedded in every single facet of our lives.

108
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: You see, you take the case of the gruesome death

109
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: of Tyree Nichols, a young photographer, skateboarder, father, human being,

110
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: at the hands of five black police officers, and you

111
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: have people talking about, oh, it can't possibly be anti blackness,

112
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: it can't possibly be racism because they were black. So

113
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: were the house negroes that lived with Massa. So were

114
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: the house slaves who, by their proximity to white power,

115
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: would sell out and lynch their own brothers and sisters

116
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: in order to keep themselves safe. Anti blackness isn't just

117
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: about the color of people's skin. It is about a

118
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: pervasive mentality that would tell those black officers that, oh, no, no,

119
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: because they are wrapped in blue, they don't share the

120
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: same hue as Tyree Nichols, that that badge gave them

121
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: a license to think that they are better than who

122
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be protecting and serving that they pledge

123
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: their allegiance not to the flag, but to the police

124
00:10:46,400 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: fraternal order. Ferguson, Chicago, New York City all have had

125
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: black cops that have participated in and been part of

126
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: police brutality cases whose headline names. You know, there's a

127
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: saying that says that not all skin folk or kinfolk, right.

128
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: I know, there are many a black people that go

129
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: on television that hate black people. You got one sitting

130
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court. Those are the types of black

131
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: people Republicans love, the ones that want to believe that

132
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: somehow they are better than the system of oppression that

133
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: was created to keep them down. Oh if I can

134
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: do it, then you can do it. This all this

135
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: or against wokeness, All of it comes back to a

136
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: desire to make sure that people stay asleep, because when

137
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: people are unconscious, they're easy to take advantage of. You

138
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: can steal from them, you can lie they ain't going

139
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: to do nothing day and awake. But the minute that

140
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: that alarm goes off, they become activated. And the minute

141
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: that people start to see all the ways in which

142
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: the systems that play are trying to work to take

143
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: away their power. This is what Rhonda Santis is doing

144
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: to white people. He does not want white Americans to

145
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: be empowered. Fox News does not want white Americans to

146
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: be empowered. He wants white people to live in fear,

147
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: to look for the straw man, to look for Daddy

148
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: that's going to come and protect them, Lie to them

149
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: and tell them that all will be well, and that

150
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: they're not responsible for anything. No part of their lives

151
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: are they responsible for. Not their lack of education, not

152
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: their lack of job training, none of it. It's always

153
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: somebody else's fault. And Daddy's going to come in and

154
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: take care of those that are responsible for you feeling sad, bad,

155
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: and I'm going to make sure that you can keep

156
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: living your lie. Because the minute that people start to

157
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: become educated and begin to question the world around them,

158
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: then they begin to question who is leading them, and

159
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: then those people that are in power would actually have

160
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: to do something, wouldn't they. With a conscious and activated

161
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: citizen jury, they would actually have to what is it, oh,

162
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: you know, act like a real democracy front that is

163
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: for and by the people and not just a bumper

164
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: sticker a T shirt. For the last six years, it

165
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: feels like more in so many ways, and then it

166
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: feels like short in the other. I have been on

167
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: air waves and streaming waves and turned my radio show

168
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: into a podcast and moved around a bit because I

169
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: never wanted to be silenced. I never wanted for there

170
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: to be other people to tell me what it is

171
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: that I can and cannot do. So for quite some time,

172
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: I've just been toiling away with you know, the audience

173
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: that I have been able to grow brick by brick,

174
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: episode by episode with the help and team effort of

175
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: my producer Andrew, who has been with me this entire time,

176
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: and you all have given me such encouragement, such grace

177
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: and gratitude throughout these years to continue to speak my

178
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: truth and feel like you know my voices of value,

179
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: because I can tell you that there have been many

180
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: times over the years where I've wanted to turn off

181
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: the mic and just be done and not come back

182
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: on the air, because you know, this climate, this political climate,

183
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: this negativity, this awful dark energy, can zap away at

184
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: your soul, which is why I tell all of you

185
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: watch just a little bit of news, just enough, you know,

186
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: and if watching it's too much, just read a couple

187
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: of articles a day, and then you know, back off

188
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: because the desire is to drain us, and it is

189
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: why it's necessary to take considerable amounts of breaks. So

190
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: why do I this up. I have two announcements that

191
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to share with all of you. First,

192
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: because of all of you and your dedication to the

193
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: show and you're sharing and tweeting and instagramming and commenting

194
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: on TikTok and all of these things, wok af Daily

195
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: is moving to iHeartRadio. And I'm really proud about the

196
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: work and the effort of creating this independent, little engine

197
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: of a show to bring it to iHeartRadio under their

198
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: new vertical that they're going to be launching at the

199
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: end of this month. And I'm excited that woke af

200
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Daily will be a part of this new slate of shows.

201
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: And in the intram dear friends, I am going to

202
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: be taking the Black History Month off. I'm going to

203
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: be taking the next twenty eight days off from wik

204
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: af And I know, I know that some of you

205
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: are hearing this and you're like, no, don't do it,

206
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: and then other people are like, yes, do it, but

207
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: I really don't want you to. But yes, you need rest,

208
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: because you DM me all the time and tell me

209
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: that I need to take a break and take a breath.

210
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: So I've decided to do so. As the show begins

211
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: to transition to iHeartRadio and we relaunch, I've decided that, yeah,

212
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: I could take a couple of weeks to catch my

213
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: breath in this new year, to decompress, frankly, from the

214
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: trauma and the tragedy and the grief of the last

215
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: several mass shootings, the last speeding depths, the anti blackness,

216
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: the continued legislation to deny transpeople their humanity. Being in

217
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: this folks every single day, day in and day out,

218
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: is my calling, but it also drives me fucking crazy.

219
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: And if I don't take this time to be able

220
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: to recharge and reconnect so that I can power through,

221
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: I won't make it, you know, Frankly, I just won't.

222
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: And I want to be as strong and as nimble

223
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: as possible. And so what does that look like? It

224
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: looks like WOKEAF will be relaunching on iHeartRadio in a

225
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: few weeks. Follow me on social media at D two

00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: without my voice. It just won't be five days a week. Instead,

231
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: it will be three or four, so be sure or

232
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,480

277
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: to you. You know where to find me. I am

278
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: all over social media. I just gave you the names

279
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: of the other shows to take the edge off over

280
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. But a couple of things that

281
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: I am doing, a couple of books that I'm reading

282
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: that maybe you all want to join me in reading

283
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: as well. And then you know, life happened. So rest

284
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Is Resistance is a manifesto and it is a book

285
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: by Tricia Hersey. Tricia Hersey runs the NAP Ministry on

286
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: Instagram and some amazing account, So if you don't follow

287
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: the NAP Ministry on Instagram, please do so because it's dope.

288
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: Rests Resistance is a book about how to reclaim rest

289
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: as part of the revolution, how to decolonize our minds

290
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: from grind culture and capitalism. The book is directed towards

291
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: Black people, whose bodies have been used against our will

292
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: right for centuries, but it is for everyone. It's directed

293
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: towards Black people to stop feeling like in order to

294
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: have value in life, we need to continue to produce.

295
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: But it is also about how all of us, regardless

296
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: of race, have become slaves to capitalism and grind culture.

297
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: And what has that done, you know, to us? Right?

298
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: And how for those that were privileged at the beginning

299
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: of the COVID pandemic and we're able to stay indoors

300
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: and we're able to slow down. Is the whole reason

301
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: why work has changed, right, why people are reclaiming their lives.

302
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: And So this is a book that I'm reading because

303
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: over the course of I'm going to finish it during

304
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: the month of February, because it again is a deep reminder,

305
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: a deep, deep reminder as to how we feel like

306
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: every part of our lives to be doing instead of being.

307
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: And we are not human doings. We are human beings.

308
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: And so I think that everyone could enjoy this book,

309
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: So check it out. Rest as Resistance. And then the

310
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: other book that I am reading is one that actually

311
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: I believe came out in twenty twenty, and you know,

312
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: I was all caught up in life and pandemic and

313
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: all of these things that I actually missed it. But

314
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: the book is entitled Untamed by Glenn and Doyle. And

315
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: Glenn and Doyle is a New York Times, you know,

316
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: bestselling author. She has many many books and I and

317
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: it's her twenty twenty memoir. And I got hit to

318
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: it because on one of my many walks, I was

319
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: looking for, you know, something to listen to. And any

320
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: times that I have ever found myself feeling off, for

321
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: feeling you know, wanting to understand my feeling and feelings

322
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: and my energy more, I check out what Brenee Brown

323
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: is doing, and lo and behold, I started digging and

324
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, got into her being interviewed, and then listened

325
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: to her podcast, Brenee Brown's podcast, her very first podcast

326
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, where she interviewed Glenn and Doyle about Untamed.

327
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a book that is funny

328
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: as fuck. It's a bunch of short essays. I'm only

329
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: halfway through now, but it again is really teaching us

330
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: about the ways that women in particular have been lied to.

331
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: Right that the best compliment she says in this book

332
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: that you can give to a woman is she's so selfless.

333
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: This mother is so selfless, This wife is so selfless.

334
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: So somehow the epitome of womanhood is to give up

335
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: yourself in honor of your wife, your husband, your children,

336
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: her job. And this book is about her coming out,

337
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: rediscovering who she is as a woman, who she is

338
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: as a mother, and reclaiming her life. So you see

339
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: this pattern about rest is resistance and untamed right that

340
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: we have been women have been tamed in this country

341
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: and in so many countries and across so many cultures.

342
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: We've been tamed, the taming of the shrew right, the

343
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: unwilding of ourselves. And this book is about the rewilding

344
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: of ourselves and putting ourselves forward. So I'm finishing that,

345
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: so you guys can join me in this little mini

346
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: book club that I'm doing with myself over the next

347
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight days. But again I don't ever really take breaks.

348
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: So you can follow me again at d two stands

349
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: on both Twitter and Instagram, Danielle Moody Underscore on TikTok,

350
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: and check out my other two shows. The new abnormal

351
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: on the Daily Beast and democracy Ish folks. I am

352
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: excited about this next chapter of Wika f Daily. I

353
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: hope that you all will return when I am back,

354
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: most likely March first, whatever the first Monday is in March,

355
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 1: is when I will be back. But I encourage you

356
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: all to do some cleansing yourself, do some journaling, do

357
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: some meditation, do some grounding. I think you know also

358
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: as I close out, that this is what winter should

359
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: be about. Winter should not really be about creating resolutions

360
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: in the cold and in the dark. You know, these

361
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: new things that you're gonna do, but it should be

362
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: a grounding, a burrowing, or really getting inside of our

363
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: skins and our minds and our hearts, leaning these things out,

364
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: excavating ourselves so that in spring we blossom. And so

365
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: that's what I feel like I'm going to do this

366
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: Black History Month these next twenty eight days, and I

367
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: encourage you all to do the same, and then we

368
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: can talk about it. We can dish about it in

369
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: March as well. Last thing that I will say for

370
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: those friends that are into astrology, and by the way,

371
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: nobody's paying me for any of these things, so these

372
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: are not infomercials. It's just shit that I'm into right now.

373
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: The other thing that if you are into astrology, as

374
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: I know, some people tell me that they are, and

375
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: then other people get on me. How Daniellier is supposed

376
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: to be this serious media person, Like, how are you

377
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: into astrology? I look through everything to help me understand

378
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: what we are going through and experiencing, to help me

379
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: understand the human experience and astrology, religion, meditation, Eastern scripture

380
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: is like, all of these things help present the tapestry

381
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: and the layered, multifaceted nature of who we are as

382
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: humans and how we come into this world and why

383
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: people have pooh poohed astrology and gods and these things,

384
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: and folks, what does it all come back to? Fucking

385
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: money capitalism, putting money into the church and saying that

386
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: these men in black and white, and you know, these

387
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: clergy are the ones who are the proximity to God

388
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: and can tell you about your future and can tell

389
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: you whether or not you're good or whomever. Because if

390
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: you were to trust yourself, if you were to connect

391
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: with the elements around you, then guess what you wouldn't

392
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: tied to them. So check out Channy Nicholas. Chenny Nicholas

393
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: is a queer astrologer. She has an app, the Channy App,

394
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: and as C h A and I. She has a

395
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: free version and a paid version, and it's kind of dope.

396
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: It's really dope and fun to you know, put in

397
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: your birth information and to get your chart and to

398
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: understand yourself in a different way. Again, I am a

399
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: somebody who's really interested in understanding myself and understanding people

400
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: around me, and understanding how folks get swayed by a

401
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and a Ronda Stantis, how people like Barack

402
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: Obama are able to captivate, you know, audiences like what

403
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: lures people to people? Right? What is it about our

404
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: emotions that make us tick? I'm really interested in these things.

405
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: And so in order to understand others, I feel like

406
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: you need a deep understanding of yourself. So I've been

407
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: really enjoying the Channi App. And again there's a free

408
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: version and there's a paid version. I started with the

409
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: free version that I was like, I want to know

410
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: more and went to the paid version and I love it.

411
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: It provides meditations and prompts and journal entries and daily

412
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: horoscopes and you know, a week ahead podcast that gives

413
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: you a look at the start ours in the planets

414
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: and how they are aligned that week and how they

415
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: play into our emotions. Then you'll be very surprised how

416
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: it plays into our politics and how these motherfuckers move

417
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: these days. So nonetheless, these are the things that I'm

418
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: going to be diving into for the next few weeks

419
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: while I take a much needed break, and then we relaunch. Friends,

420
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: we relaunch with iHeartRadio, and I am super fucking excited

Speaker 1: about that. Stay tuned, stay connected with me, and beyond

00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: beyond this reflective journey with me, and let us recharge
