<v Speaker 2>forward there, But I don't know, I just want to

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.480
<v Speaker 2>like catch up because feel like there's been so much

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know important news of Black America. What should

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>we talk about first or should you just tell me

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>what's happening in Budget needs to land.

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, Munchisa Land has been very which I like boring.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I really realize that like I'm not going back to

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>like I feel sorry for anyone who is like Tiffany is,

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, is going to go back to grinding it

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>out or whatever, and that they're waiting. Some people are

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>waiting and I'm like, yeah, you're gonna turn blue, sis

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and certainly you know me, I work hard, but also too,

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I know that I have planted plenty of en of

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 1>cs and I'll never not pick you know. Like I

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 1>was literally a walk with one of my friends Brandon said,

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>like she comes from like Brooklyn, and like we take

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>a walk at my favorite one of my favorite parks

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>is around this pond, and we were just talking about that.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 2>How so she got to go on a walk with

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 2>you tonight for her, but we were.

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Talking about it. I just was saying, how do you

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>reach a point like I have reached a point and

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I wanted her to say this affirmation where it's like

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it's okay to say I know how to make money.

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know, you never want to you

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like, no, no, no, I know how to make money.

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I have put in enough work for access for knowledge.

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I know how to make money I will never not

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>have and I can rest on that because I didn't,

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, up until, you know, I didn't feel like that,

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.079
<v Speaker 1>and so I don't have to navigate from a space

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>of lack and fear, which is where the overwork and

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>overwhelmed despite you know, making all the coins and everything else.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, m girl, we're not doing that no more.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And so I love it because I'm it's not just talk.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm passing that on to the team where I'm like,

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>we just had a team meeting the other day where

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>we just listed all the things, and I said, let's

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>get rid of most of them and really focus on

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>just these three things that are going to make the

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>biggest impact with where we want to go with the

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>with the company. And the other things, although they're great

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and can certainly make more money, but at what cost

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>more work, work on the weekends, work in the evenings now.

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>But so yeah, So it's just like I'm just I'm

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>just transitioning into this space where I just rest. Truly

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is existence. I mean, if I don't take like an

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>hour walk a day like that, I at least most

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>times I get in about two hours. I get in

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the nap, I eat healthy food, I start weight training

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>like your girl is. I mean, I'm not gonna lie

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>my many The body is body okay. Oh I can't

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>wait to get my body back.

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 2>I'll be right there with you, speaking of the which

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I need to take my blood pressure. I need to

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:23.839
<v Speaker 2>take my blood sugar while we're sitting here.

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I just feel like I think the what I

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>like most is how I'm feeling on the inside as

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>far as like at peace, It's finally it's finally being

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>expressed externally, meaning professionally, personally. I spend way more time.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>My dad and mom were just up here to see

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the cherry blossom trees. I sent an uber for them.

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>My sisters came with my niece and my nephew, and

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>so like, I'm spending so much more time with friends.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I just like I'm just settling into like the life

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>that I desire, not the life that looks good for

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>social media. I have not even been back, you know.

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I took March off and I was like, I'm gonna

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.119
<v Speaker 1>come back in April. I don't know if I'm coming

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>back because I mean maybe a little bit. I came

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>back for a little bit. Oh it's still trash here.

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Let me leave. But have you been? How have you been?

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>How's Oh?

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm six weeks out at this point, so

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I'm in the home stretch. I'm really excited,

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Like I want to hold every baby that I see.

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to squeeze them. I'm that creepy lady. Now

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I had a whole convo with a toddler. I dunkin

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 2>donuts this morning. I'm just ready, like uh Rio is

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>really excited. But the past few weeks, I mean physically

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>have not been great. I have not been walking two

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>hours a day. I will get back to it, though,

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 2>But I'm officially been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. So now

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 2>I have to check my blood sugar all the damn time.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Classic me, though, I make it like I'm getting a

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>grade and I want to like be the best into class,

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and I want to get my blood sugar down the most,

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 2>and you know, fortunately, but I can follow I can

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>follow rules, and I want all the credit. And I

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>lost my monitor this weekend and I was so oh

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't getting credit for the bloodshirt. I knew my

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 2>blood sugar was on point all day. On Sunday, I

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 2>resisted every piece of Easter candy. You know, I had

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 2>my little Greek salads. I stopped eating after seven anyway,

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's I'm getting under control, which is fine.

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Why does that happen? Like just station, there's no.

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Rhyme or reason to it. Like I've got friends that

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>are one hundred pounds and they've had gestational diabetes. I've

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>had friends who are black, Asian white. It's just it's

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 2>just so random. I didn't have this with Rio at all.

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to ask me. But the way that my

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>doctor described it is like we're both sharing a pancreas,

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and you know, sometimes the pancreas is just not giving

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>what it needs to give for two little bodies to process.

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm close. I'm glad you explained it in a gen

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Z way. It's not the pancreas is not giving, honey.

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just not giving. It's just really not a vibe

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 2>at all. It's a little susy. It's a little sus

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>so hold on and prick myself well the charger. Ah, dude,

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm a pro now. But yes, I went to get

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>a fresh kit this morning. And let me tell you,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not cheap to be a diabetic like this stuff.

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 2>This was thirty bucks for a new kit which doesn't

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>even have like a long supply of strips and stuff.

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I'll do my little peace on the

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>healthcare system later, but I just want to get through this.

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to have a healthy pregnancy and you know,

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 2>move on with life. And I'm be outside this summer.

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>But business wise good. I mean, I've been really focused

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>on ever greening up everything that I can, and I'm

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 2>feeling like I've I've got you know, savings. You know,

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I was really like squirreling away this winter. Any entrepreneur,

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you don't get maternity to leave anymore. So

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>been quite proud that I've been like squirreling away and

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>saving and I might even make it through tax season

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 2>without you know, having to file bankruptcy. So I hadn't

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>paying my taxi, which is gonna be great, I know.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's what's been going on. But I've just

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>been like really leaning into rest. I mean, I just

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 2>can't physically do a lot of what I want to

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>be doing. And I think I've finally broken from the

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I should be doing this or a year ago I

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>was doing that, or with Rio, I was like this,

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, well, different baby, different body, you know,

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just excited to have a healthy, happy baby boy.

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 2>And well you look beautiful, see Beyonce, thank you.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, I know, so sometimes you know, people

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>their pregnancy is like really.

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Rough one oh four. That's good.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes the pregnancy is really rough, and then you know,

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>they just like, like my mom when she had when

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>she was pregnant with me, Oh my gosh at the

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>picture she looked like a doll baby, right, But then

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>when she was pregnant with Lisa, we were like, who

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>is the lady.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>That she's Lisa's number five? And you're like, what number

0:07:59.000 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>two or what?

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's different. The longer you go listen, yeah, I

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>do not. I look at pictures of me with Rio

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, wait, I thought I didn't look great.

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I look fucking sad. I would rather have that body now,

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>not pregnant.

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know this is like, this is not necessarily

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>black news, But did you hear so? I'm sure obviously

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you know about the fire movement, which stands for financial

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>independence retire early. It was this big movement with millennials

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>about you know, making as much money as possible. Typically

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>they're making like six figures living off of like nothing,

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>investing the rest, and then you know, getting to it

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>was usually about like two or three million dollars in

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that kind of mark and then being able to retire

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in their thirties. That it was this huge movement. The

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 1>average person doing it, of course, was white dude with

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>access to make six figures and to be able to

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 1>do that. But so it gained a lot of traction.

0:08:54.400 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>But one of the pioneers, his name is Oh would

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh Sam Doggin Right, So he was able to retire

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 1>early with three million dollars. He was thirty four, he

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>was married at the time, and now he's saying that

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>he's returning to work. Sam is now forty five, so

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>ten years later, and it's because he said that, honestly,

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I got kids. Now I'm loving. I'm loving because he said, yeah,

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>so I think if I'm reading correctly, that he has

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>two kids. See the thing is when they first retired,

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>he and his wife, they weren't sure if they're going

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>to have kids, you know, which we you know, that's understandable.

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.599
<v Speaker 1>He's like, now we have to and we're living in

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco. He's like yeah, and so you know, he said, basically,

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.599
<v Speaker 1>what was the three million dollars. He was able to

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>grow his passive income give or take to about two

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars a year, which sounds like a lot

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>of money between the two of them. It's like both

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>of them having one hundred thousand dollar job, but not

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>with too trunk.

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Because they got a hear it is not giving yes.

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Not on the post. And so what I love is like, well, one,

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm loving the fact that, like, because I'm not anti

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 1>fire movement at all, you know, I'm all forul you

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>know me, I'm a frug go liver. But I just

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't like that it seemed like, well, all you got

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to do is if you had a little discipline, you

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>could retire. And it didn't take into account that people

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>might have kids. It didn't take it.

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>So drastic to like live off of nothing and not

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>enjoy right.

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and also too, it didn't take an account that,

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>like it might not be accessible to you if you're

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 1>a person of color, a woman, someone who's disabled, you know.

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.319
<v Speaker 1>And so for I mean, from his picture he looks

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 1>like he may be Asian. I don't want to like speculate,

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>but but yeah, so you know, I'm just so happy

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that it's like, yeah, the math was not mathing. It

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't mean he didn't do well. It doesn't mean that,

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, like that two hundred thousand that he's making

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 1>passively is not going to supplement obviously beautifully supplement whatever

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.719
<v Speaker 1>income he brings in. But I just think like, it's

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>almost like Marie con Did you hear about Marie Kondo?

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I rejoiced when she came out saying like, I don't

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 2>even pay attention anymore. I got kids. There's no rules anymore. Good. Yeah,

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I leave your book unread on my kindle, so if

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 2>you're not reading.

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Be a family. She's got this. It's like tidying up

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>or something like with Marie Kondo on.

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>The life changing Magic of Tidying Up. And then she

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 2>had a Netflix series, Yes, where she'd go into families

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>who have kids, girls and make over their homes.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I said, this is Anne. Do I love it? Do

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I keep it? Whatever she was doing and pushed out

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the babies and Mauricas say what now?

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, kids would really just be like kids will will

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>bring the truth to light, you know, like people. You know, yeah,

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>people don't want to hear nothing until you're like, oh,

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to kids in there. Mine. It's such

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a disaster.

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the thing is, you know, I really have

0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to go to the sunken place when it comes to

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never I'm not gonna lie. I've never been miss tidy.

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>My mom was like super crazy about cleaning up, and

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 2>I think I had the opposite reaction of like just

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>go with the flow. But I feel bad for moms

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 2>who still maintain that like level of it needs to

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 2>be clean every night before I go to bed, because

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I sleep really good with the full sink of dishes,

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, it's between sleep and staying up

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and scrubbing, Like, I'm just not going to choose that

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 2>journey for myself. I had to give that up. So

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 2>we have a clean house like once a week, and

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 2>then within hours it's destroyed. And you know, we just

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 2>make a lot of activities to leave the house so

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 2>we don't have to look at it. That's our coping mechanism,

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and I will organize and it'll get beautiful. But I've

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of made peace with the fact that that life

0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is not for me right at this moment, not in

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>this season. I got our please one of the puzzles

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 2>and legos and literally four.

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm one of five kids, and so my parents what

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>they decided early on after like I don't know, maybe

0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like maybe five or six when my dad

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 1>bought like our first house. He just decided every house

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>we have will have a basement that belongs to the kids,

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and so that's what it was. It was like, y'all

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>are not allowed up here unless you're taking a bath

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>or getting in a bed. So literally, we always had

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>a full basement where we were allowed to destroy, which

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>we did. I mean, I'm talking about we were right

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>on the walls. I'm talking about melted crams.

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>He I mean we were.

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 1>We were destructive. But the basement was the kid's space

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>when you and your little raggedy friends come over, this

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 1>is where you can have your toys. Of course we

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.719
<v Speaker 1>had to clean up and things like that, but it

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the company space. So upstairs was always kept nice,

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and it was like my dad would literally we were

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>come upstairs, He's like, I'm sorry, little trolls, I just

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>want to juice.

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Take your juice and your stacked in the engine. He

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>would just give you a mini fridge down there.

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>No, the second house of be I definitely had a

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 1>fridge and all the other stuff. And so that's, you know,

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>that's how they handle that. They were just like, you

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>know what, we have to relinquish front of the house

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of the kids. This is your basement. Do what you will.

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm as bad as rio. I like to play. I

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>like to do puzzles with him. I like to make

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>a mess. It's really husby. He has to suffer. I

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 2>don't want him to go to a room by himself.

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to be in the mix.

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.319
<v Speaker 1>You know. Like that's because you have one. Imagine five.

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>My dad was like, I'm sorry, I know, well, if

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 2>you have five, you can entertain each other exactly. You

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. That's that's too much. Good lord,

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 2>we haven't even mentioned the webbies.

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.640

<v Speaker 2>for an individual Episode, which is when Tiffany returned Tiffany's

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>returned from after Superman passed away. How do you I

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I didn't know we were even up for

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that Individual Episode award, But listen, I listened back to

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 2>a bit of it, and I'm like, I remember it

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>was raw, it was raw and real.

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>No, no, why. Last night I was like, I don't know.

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 1>It just like hit me like a ton of birrid.

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I cried till thre o'clock in the morning. You know,

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 1>some days you just like I feel like, okay, I

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 1>go for a walk, you know, and then some days

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>it's really like what the entire hell? You know? I

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>told Doctor Green, my therapist. I said, sometimes it just

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>feels like like, you know, you come home to your house,

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 1>You're like, ohya, this is my house. And then you know,

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you go for a walk, you come home and not

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>only is your house not there, it's not like it's

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>burned to the ground, but there's a whole different house there,

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, no, no, no, wait, where's my yellow house.

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 1>There's this blue house there, new people living in it.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like your whole life has been wiped away, and

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>so some days you just feel like that sometimes I

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>really cannot believe that he's not here, that he's not

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be like looking at the door like Greek like,

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, I'm taking my podcast, baby, you know.

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And so some days, like I said, I feel you know, good,

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and I feel joy and you know, I feel connected

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to my family and friends, and other days it just

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>hits me like a ton of bird. Like last night,

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what the hell I mean, I was

0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>hysterical til three o'clock at the point I was like, so,

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, so when I was that, I don't

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>even know. I know. I got so many tweets of

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>people saying I was scared to listen to that episode

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 1>because they knew it was going to be emotionally charge

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>and maybe even triggering, maybe because you know, if you're

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 1>missing someone that you've lost, but you know, I just

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>someone else hit like I don't know. It was a

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>listener or one of my mentees she just lost her

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>husband and she just was like, can't we jump in

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>a call because I don't know like what to do,

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know how you seem like you're okay.

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, girl, I'm not you just caught me in

0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.040
<v Speaker 1>a moment, you know, And so it's okay not to

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 1>be okay, And and I'm glad that people get to

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 1>see like, you know, I mean, I mean, I feel

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.239
<v Speaker 1>like our list, our audience has really grown up with us.

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean we were two single gags ready to mingle,

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how we can call ourselves a business podcast and

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.160
<v Speaker 2>or you know, talk about wealth building and career progression

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 2>if we don't also include the the personal elements that

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 2>go along with that. And I feel like watching your

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.159
<v Speaker 2>journey as a business woman and as a friend and

0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 2>human being, but how you have not let the opportunity

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 2>have How you haven't let that experience like dissuade you

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.400
<v Speaker 2>and move you away from your dreams and your goals

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>as a business owner. But you've let it alter for

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the positive. The way that you do business I think

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.679
<v Speaker 2>is such a you know, and of course we'd rather

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 2>have Superman a million times over. Yeah, but you know,

0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 2>such a beautiful story for people to see and for

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 2>people to follow. Just how you can do it with

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 2>grace and put and make lemons out of you know,

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 2>or wait, elemonade at a lemons, I should better Beyonce told

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:01.919
<v Speaker 2>me whoever it was.

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I just hope that also to you see

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 1>that like it's just a journey. I don't know. I

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.919
<v Speaker 1>mean for those of you who've lost people, Like what

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I've learned more than anything is that like it just

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't leave you. So even when someone says that, like

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and I hope if you have someone in your life

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they've lost their mom, their dead, their partner, their child,

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.199
<v Speaker 1>they're someone close to them, and even if it was

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago, I promise you, promise, you promise you,

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it like cuts just like it was yesterday, although they've

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 1>learned to have the affectation in their voice like it

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 1>doesn't because you just learned that, like you know, after

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 1>like you know, a year or so, people expect that

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.120
<v Speaker 1>not you've moved on, but it doesn't hurt as much.

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 1>That's just not true. So whenever someone says like, oh, yeah,

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.159
<v Speaker 1>my mom, she dies ten years and she died ten

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I always stop now and just like look

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 1>them in the eye and touch their hands and just

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.120
<v Speaker 1>say I'm so sorry, and they're just like they get

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>it because they're like, yeah, I know, I say it casually,

0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.879
<v Speaker 1>but it's never casual that my mom passed away, you

0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. So I just hope that you

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>people that little bit of acknowledgment, you know, as they're

0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 1>sharing falsely like a casually, that losing someone that close

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to them, you know, still does not affect them like

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 1>it just happened yesterday. But I mean, life is most

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>meant to be lived, you know. And so that's what

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing to the best of my ability. And you know,

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>there are some gifts with grief, and one of those

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 1>gifts is clarity, you know, and so like, you know,

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I've got supreme clarity and like what I am and

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.399
<v Speaker 1>what I'm not going to do, what I enjoy, you know.

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Mandy and I had candid conversations like do I want

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.159
<v Speaker 1>to come back to Brown Ambition, you know, and I

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, because you know, it's not for the money.

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I have to really like I got rid of everything

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>they did not yeah, that didn't like doing And I

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.199
<v Speaker 1>was just like, like, I'm going to come back and

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I want to see do I still like doing it?

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And I'm here and I'm not here for any other reason.

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Then I enjoy doing it. I enjoy talking to my

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 1>friend Mandy, like because I don't have to do anything.

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I could just be like, this is just

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>not it doesn't bring me joy anymore. And so yeah,

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, when it was that episode, I was like, really,

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 1>so you know, it better win.

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 2>If we win. If we win and then we get

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.640
<v Speaker 2>to go to the Webees, then it's even a question

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 2>do we get to do the five ward speech? But

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 2>it's all yours boo, you got it. This is your award,

0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Superman's award, but ba fam. Also, you know, it's such

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 2>a symbolic award too for me because I feel like

0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:21.920
<v Speaker 2>y'all held me down when I was holding it down

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.440
<v Speaker 2>for Tiffany, and we didn't know what was going to happen,

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 2>like audience wise, what we continue to grow and y'all

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 2>continue to show up and listen, And just like I

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.640
<v Speaker 2>was giving Tiffany space, it felt like y'all were two

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and you were okay with that. So we wouldn't be

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 2>able to do this without y'all, ba fam. And we

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:42.439
<v Speaker 2>also can't win this award without you because this is

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.679
<v Speaker 2>entirely decided by y'all, by the audience, by the people.

0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:47.960

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 2>be that would be the show. And I haven't checked

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the stats, but I think we're still in first place.

<v Speaker 1>I just check the stats. We are thirty seven percent.

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>The closest to us is twenty two percent.

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 2>But okay, I like that margin.

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.880

<v Speaker 1>to talk to a commercial break before we go to

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 1>some not so cute news, you know, we talk about

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>some of the things that are happening in the world.

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.880
<v Speaker 2>We just have a collective brown breaks all around. Yeah,

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll do that and come right back BA fam.

0:21:56.280 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, we're back and Maydi has Harbert, Yeah, all the things.

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, now, let's talk about some trash that's happening.

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Shenanigans, to be women, to be black, to be brown,

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 2>to be black in the South, you know. And this

0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 2>is what's kind of hilarious, not hilarious now that we've

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of this controversy. So two black lawmakers,

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the justins as they are now being called, were expelled

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 2>from their positions in the Tennessee House and basically over

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 2>their protests over the shooting that recently happened at a

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 2>school in Nashville. So this is like two of the

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.160
<v Speaker 2>biggest issues for me kind of tied up in one

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:44.000
<v Speaker 2>one gun violence in schools and don't get me started.

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>And then these two black Democrats, who are in the

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 2>minority already in more ways than one, then get voted

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>out because they had the audacity to protest on the

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:59.000
<v Speaker 2>House floor, to draw attention to the victims and to

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:03.919
<v Speaker 2>the calls from their constituents for gun reform, for common

0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:07.560
<v Speaker 2>sense gun reform. And like, what got to me was

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 2>listening to some of the arguments for the like majority

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 2>white and male Republicans who were who were voting to

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 2>expel them. They were like, there's a time and a

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 2>place you spoke out of turn.

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Boy, that's what that boy part was silent but not really.

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you didn't do it, Yes, exactly, you spoke out

0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>of turn. You know, you were disrespectful all this. You

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't play by our rules. I'm like, in what universe

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 2>are politicians who are there to represent their constituents not

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 2>allowed to speak out when their constituents are begging them to.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Like literally, there.

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Was a there were other lawmakers there in the past

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that had like peed in opposing party chairs. There was

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 1>another one that was a pedophile and convicted, another one

0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>convicted of felony and still allowed to stay and even

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and then then that day they weren't the only there was.

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't there, Uh there was. It was a white

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 1>woman who also Gloria something. Yes, they're like, oh, but

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 1>she didn't use the megaphone. I said, you know what,

0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 1>just say you're racist and go home.

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I just guess how she there were three of them,

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 2>she was one, but she didn't get expelled by one vote.

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 2>She kept her seat. What's really fucking hilarious about all this?

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 2>And Republicans are just why are these particular in Tennessee.

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to like pay Republicans with a broadbrush,

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>because there's some out there who were not insane, but

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:33.680
<v Speaker 2>they basically made these two Justins famous, like I didn't

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.440
<v Speaker 2>know their names. Now if all of them on IG

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 2>they're getting so much donations to their campaign funds. Like

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 2>not only that, but almost immediately one of the justice

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 2>has already been reinstated, and the second Justin I was

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:49.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out, So Justin Jones I think, has

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:53.680
<v Speaker 2>been reinstated. And then there's another, the second Justin who

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:56.560
<v Speaker 2>looks like he's gonna run. He's gonna run, have an

0:24:56.600 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to run for his seat again very soon and

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 2>will probably be right back you know where he started.

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 2>So to what end did you did you do this?

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 2>What have y'all actually accomplished for yourselves other than to

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 2>make two new superstars, you know, for the Democratic Party

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and for the cause of gun reform. Forget Democrats for

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:16.919
<v Speaker 2>a second.

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 1>For those of you know, Easter just passed, so we're

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>going to do a new church, right, and the Bible

0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>is says that God will use your eminent enemies as

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:24.719
<v Speaker 1>a footstool.

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, doesn't it.

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, you know, amen, amen, So it's like what

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 1>you thought you were going to come in here and

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:35.600
<v Speaker 1>embarrass these black men, and instead you push them to

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the national stage where we're all looking it's not looking

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:42.280
<v Speaker 1>cute over there for the public. But between your your

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 1>your evil leader being indicted and arrested, you know, between

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 1>like all this gunshot that all this gun violence where

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.159
<v Speaker 1>it's like what does it take? Like it's really not

0:25:55.320 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 1>looking good for that party, and and I I'm not

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 1>like pro like Democrat. Either's just like I just some

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>days you're just like what does it take? You know

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:10.359
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, like what does it take? But you know,

0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean people are going you know what the people

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 1>don't hear they feel, so you know they're going to

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:15.199
<v Speaker 1>be feeling.

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 2>So I don't want to it's impossible to think about

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 2>what it will take because so many more people are

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:24.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to die, you know something Like I've already

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>had one hundred and forty six shootings and it's year.

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 2>It's barely halfway through, you know.

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Now that's like a quarter a quarter of the way

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 1>through the air.

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.439
<v Speaker 2>It's it's sad. I'm embarrassed for our country. And I'm

0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>also like I feel like sometimes so there's moments where

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I get really anxious about it. Like if you don't

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 2>realize that you're suffering from anxiety as a parent about

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 2>your kids going to school, except like recently, my cousin Anna,

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Rio's godmother came home with a nerf gun and I,

0:26:56.560 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, no warning, like nothing from me. I burst

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 2>into tears. I screen, I was like, get that out

0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:07.119
<v Speaker 2>of my house. I don't And it was because I

0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 2>saw Rio's eyes light up when he saw it. He's

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 2>like ooh, and he wanted to play with it. And

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.439
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't long after You've all day last spring, You've

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:17.160
<v Speaker 2>all Day was only it was less than a year ago,

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:20.560
<v Speaker 2>which is just all those babies, and I don't know.

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like as a parent you almost have to

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 2>just what are we What are we doing? Just asking

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 2>my husband last night, are we crazy to be putting

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:31.520
<v Speaker 2>these kids into into the world, And like what did

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 2>we just do? We just put them on a school

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:37.320
<v Speaker 2>bus and pray, you know, like it's so fucked up,

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and it's you know, I've joined the groups. I've joined

0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the Mom's Demand Action, and you know, you you donate

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:48.040
<v Speaker 2>to the different funds, but it's hard. There really is

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>no telling what it will take. But I think one

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 2>thing I know for sure, and it's a goddamn shame,

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:56.680
<v Speaker 2>is it's going to take more dead people. People are

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:00.680
<v Speaker 2>going to keep dying until something gets done. It's this

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:02.920
<v Speaker 2>is America. It's a shit show.

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to this show.

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>You're welcome. Welcome to the ship show, y'all. We are.

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I believe we're in the shit show together all just

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure it out. Part of me is also like,

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 2>do more people like the governor knew someone who died,

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 2>the governor of Tennessee knew someone who died in the

0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 2>school shooting in Nashville, and then like there was another

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 2>one in Louisville just yesterday, thank you, and one of

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:26.879
<v Speaker 2>them knew the governor of Kentucky. And I'm like, maybe

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:29.680
<v Speaker 2>it'll take more people who are connected to the leaders

0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:30.159
<v Speaker 2>for them.

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:33.879
<v Speaker 1>To get a dn Like my friend died, Like what

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 1>is he.

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Going to tell his wife? Thoughts and prayers?

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you know.

0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a horrible thought, But I'm like, is that what

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:44.040
<v Speaker 2>it's going to take. We need to wait until they

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:47.600
<v Speaker 2>see enough of their people, their loved ones, they go

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 2>to enough of those funerals. But at least one bright

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 2>spot is that they have we have officials, We have

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:57.479
<v Speaker 2>elected officials like Justin's the Justin's Justin Jones, Justin Pearson,

0:28:57.520 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>speaking out, and they're getting support from Biden, from Kamala Harris,

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:07.360
<v Speaker 2>from the Obama's you know, so hopefully they can help

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 2>make a dent as well.

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just vote y'all, n C double a champion like that.

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not sporty.

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 2>It's basketball, yes, basketball, And so I'm here for the

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>tea and the drama, not so much for like, oh yeah,

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 2>let's spill thee what happened? Oh god shit, you're gonna

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 2>put it on me. All right, So what happened was

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 2>there's two teams, right, I feel like I'm Kid Fury

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 2>on the read whenever Crystal, Yes.

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>You're sports.

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 2>He's like, so there's a sport with a ball in it.

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:43.719
<v Speaker 2>And so like one team and then another team were

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:46.239
<v Speaker 2>against each other and and and what happened was a

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:49.000
<v Speaker 2>white player from one team, don't ask me where they're from,

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 2>made some kind of like rude gesture to another player.

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 2>It was like, you can't see me. I didn't know

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>that was a rude thing.

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 1>It's initially they say it's to John Cena. It's not

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Tony yo Is. You know, he's a fifty G unit artists.

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 1>He used to do that. Like so imagine your hand

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>is up like you're showing like a high five hand,

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 1>but then you put the palm towards your face and

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 1>then you wave it like ah, you can't see me.

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So Tony Ayo started in, and then John Cena like,

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, which is this very popular white wrestler, and

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>so you know so and I won't even say it's rude,

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's just it's sports. Get aggressive, it's mack

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>talking exactly. Yeah. So the girl, the white girl, Caitlin

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>did it, no biggie.

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 2>But there are a girl, yes, Angel Reese, Yes, a

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 2>black woman did the same thing and then have the

0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 2>audacity to go on to win Yes at the same time, right,

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 2>And all of a sudden, who even was outrage? Was

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>it Twitter or was it Fox News? But people were

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 2>blowing it up like she's rude, yes, classless.

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 1>People were calling her terrible, terrible, terrible things.

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>And meanwhile, when Caitlyn used to do it, they would

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, wow, she know, she's really into the game,

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 1>because Caitlyn is actually a really great player, as is Angel,

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and they're just like, this is what it looks like,

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the aggression. This is what it takes to win,

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>but as soon as a black woman did it, it

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh no, no, no, but you already know.

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And so it just was. And even what I didn't

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like is so Joe Biden, you know, Joe Biden's wife,

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the first lady she I think she was there for

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>part of the game. And then afterwards, you know, found

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 1>out that the the you know, the the team, you know,

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the Louisiana team won and she was saying like, oh,

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe you know, we'll invite both teams to the White

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 1>House to celebrate. I'm like, Jill says, when do we

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:43.160
<v Speaker 1>do broke?

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a pr rep Jill, I.

0:31:45.720 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Said, that's not how it goes winners. She's a teacher, yes,

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm trying to go back to that grace, but

0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a teacher.

0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>She wants the kids to feel good. But you want

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 2>to say, you know, think.

0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Mandy, if the black team had lost, that you would

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:00.840
<v Speaker 1>have said, let's be real.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 2>I really don't. I mean, I want to say yes,

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:06.000
<v Speaker 2>but I have to say I don't think.

0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:08.840
<v Speaker 1>So, I don't think I think the internal bias was

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>because oh no, no, no, you know no. And it's just

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>like and I will say to Caitlin the white player.

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, she's really young, she's like twenty. But they

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:23.640
<v Speaker 1>had her on ESPN and they interviewed her, and honestly,

0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 1>she was like, y'all aerbugg in basically that like that's

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a gesture that I used. She uses,

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So what that Angel is an amazing player. And you know,

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>they played and they beat us and I didn't. I

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:37.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't mad at it because this is what we smack

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>talk on the court. She basically was like, that's really

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a y'all problem. I just here to play. And we

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 1>played and we lost in okay, and and so you know, yeah,

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a guy from mom it's a eight. No,

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like he's a big podcaster, he owns like a

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>big podcast network, who was like talking about her terribly,

0:32:55.000 --> 0:32:58.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about Angel terribly. I just like, you know, these

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 1>grown men talking about these young women. Yeah no, No,

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't Joe Joe Okay. It was like this podcast

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:10.840
<v Speaker 1>owner or podcast network owner. Yeah. It just I just

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:13.560
<v Speaker 1>be like, h y'all tired, you know what I mean?

0:33:13.760 --> 0:33:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Like that's tired. It reminds me I was listening to

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 2>like a white woman who recently got cans. Not recently

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Alison Roman do you know her?

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Girl?

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 2>She was this like famous New York Times cookbook writer

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 2>and author who blew up during the pandemic white woman

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 2>blonde from lives in Brooklyn, you know, And she criticized

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Chrissy Teagan and Marie Condo in an interview, and then

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 2>she was canceled, lost her gig at the New York Times,

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:40.640

<v Speaker 2>a podcast like she's on her return tour, coming back

0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 2>with a new cookbook. And on the podcast, she was like,

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 2>there were people defending me that I did not want

0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of their team. I was like, no, no, no, no, no,

<v Speaker 2>not you, no no no, I don't need your help.

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:56.239
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like it's these like conservatives who are

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 2>looking for any case to jump on. And I feel

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 2>like Caitlin's having the same feeling, like no, I don't

0:34:01.160 --> 0:34:03.960

<v Speaker 1>back too, and so.

0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well Angel, Angel is now going to the White House,

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:20.920
<v Speaker 2>and apparently the other team is not getting invited.

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I they ought not to, not because of any

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:24.720
<v Speaker 1>other reason. What, that's just how it goes. The winners

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and the tradition. I mean, you know, break tradition when

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:30.239
<v Speaker 1>black people win. What the hell?

0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, like, Oh, to make people feel more comfortable,

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:34.719
<v Speaker 2>we'll have both teams there.

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you know what, and you see that it

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 1>was this woman, this young black girl for the was

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:43.439
<v Speaker 1>the first black valedictorian or salutatorian of her school. And

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 1>they had someone who had a lower They made two valedictorians,

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:50.880
<v Speaker 1>a white girl like with the lower GPA. And I'm like,

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:54.960
<v Speaker 1>why because the black girl got the heart. Yes, yes, girl,

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 1>that's why. I'm just like when people people love to

0:34:57.640 --> 0:35:00.120
<v Speaker 1>use the if you would only work harder, if you

0:35:00.200 --> 0:35:02.439
<v Speaker 1>and only it's like, let's be real, that's just not true.

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:04.759
<v Speaker 1>You will always move the goalpost. That's why I just

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:09.200
<v Speaker 1>don't participate. And you know, I've just opted out and

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:11.759
<v Speaker 1>I build my own shit, and then I get to

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 1>hire amazing black and brown women, you know, and give

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 1>them the space and the grace to you know, for

0:35:16.080 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 1>those who are willing to do the work for, you know,

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to be treated fairly and to be paid well. Because

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I just can't, you know what I mean, Like, I can't,

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, because it's just cause and I know everybody's

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:28.400
<v Speaker 1>not able to do that and sometimes you have to

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>work for whomever or whatever. But I just was like,

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I got to opt out. I gotta tap the f

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:36.239
<v Speaker 1>out because it's exhausting. Anyway, that's our I mean, we

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't even have official brown boots, Brown Break, but that's the.

0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:42.520

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 2>through the bullshit and recognize what's happening. It's not about

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:50.239
<v Speaker 2>playing it fair. It's not about oh, we just want

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 2>everyone to be recognized for their hard work. It's about

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:56.799
<v Speaker 2>what happens when black women are at the forefront and

0:35:56.840 --> 0:36:00.239
<v Speaker 2>when and how quickly our success will try to be

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:04.400
<v Speaker 2>picked apart man taken, you know. But I think in
