It was this man named Pastor Denny and 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 2: Louisiana Street, Port Louisian and his name was pasted Dinny. 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 2: He told me he used to trade Brett Farr back 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: in the day. But you know, everybody said stuff like that, 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 2: But I loved past the Denny. He was such a 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 2: sweet man. And they sat there. They would teach me 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 2: how to play. They would teach me how to throw 11 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 2: the ball. Everything like that. I got down in dirty with. 12 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: So let's just say for the sake of argument, because 13 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: now they have a flag football with the young ladies 14 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: played flag football. If they would have had that back 15 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: then and you could have played, what position would you play? 16 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 3: You been a quarterback. 17 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 2: I think I would have been a quarterback for sure. 18 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: Oh you want to shine, I can't you do. 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 2: I do think I would have done sports.

I met. 54 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: I met her several times, and I mean on the 55 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: plane and we just talked the whole trip from La 56 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: back to Atlanta. If you could play anyone else in 57 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: a biot, who would you play? 58 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: Where? She yet a job I would live to be 59 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: to play with me? That would be mean. They've done 60 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: too many of it now, so it's like I don't 61 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: want to keep on going, you know what I mean? 62 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 2: But in the back of my throat, I would love 63 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: to sit up there. And you know. 64 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 3: What about Angela Bassett would love to. 65 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: Be Angela as well. I mean people always say that 66 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: because I go into them rressions of her and if 67 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: Angela wanted me to play her, she also know is 68 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: I'm gonna call away? 69 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: Ah my goodness. Ye, I mean you could really. 70 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: You got a new movie out with Cesa and yss Array. 71 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Tell us about the movie. 72 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: So it's called well, actually I was just about to 73 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: tell you what it was called, but if we didn't 74 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: change the name, so there's no name yet. Okay, you'll 75 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: know the name soon. But the movie is about essentially 76 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: two girls that are trying to make it to get 77 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: their rent paid and you know, by the end of 78 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: the day, so it kind of goes over the course 79 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: of one day and all the different hygienks that they experienced. 80 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: But the movie has so many other things, you know, ultimately, 81 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: like about gentrification and the fact that a lot of 82 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: people are, you know, being kind of priced out of 83 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: their environment. So ultimately it comes to a place of 84 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: being about community and friendship and love and how those 85 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: are the things I think we got to cling to 86 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: when we're trying to get through these hard times. 87 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: Right. 88 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: But you're also in a movie, I think it comes 89 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: out in twenty five with kat Lirel. 90 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: You're also in a movie with them, correct. 91 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: They're in this movie. Yes, Yes, they're in this movie 92 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: as well. 93 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 94 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: And it was so fun work with Cat again because 95 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: I worked with him before on Two Minutes of Fame, 96 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: and then it was real. Rail and I never worked together, 97 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: but we always see each other, you know, we both 98 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: for Chicago, so it was really cool. We had a 99 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: lot of fun in this movie too, and we both 100 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: all did a little bit of improv. 101 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: What is the thing because people have this perception of 102 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: Cat and we know that he came on here inside right. 103 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: There, and I that was an iconic applifier. 104 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: It was what do what do people get wrong about Cat? Well? 105 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: I mean cats, no nonsense. I think he says what 106 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: he means. It means what he says, and he really is, 107 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: like he loves you or he don't. You know. Luckily, 108 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: I'm somebody that he loves and I love him right back. 109 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 2: You know.

You know, I don't want 342 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: to come at you with my baggage, right, And so 343 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: I usually don't. You know, that's not to say my 344 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: personal life is baggage, but it just doesn't have nothing 345 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: to do with you. And so I usually don't say 346 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: certain things unless it could be of service to someone else. 347 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: And I think I forget exactly what was going on 348 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: at that time. I'm sure it was multitude of things happening. Obviously, 349 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: we've seen the reversal of Roe versus Way, and there's 350 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: a bunch of things happen politically with women's rights and 351 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: I just feel like, look, if you if you don't 352 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: feel like you can do it, then don't do it. 353 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: And I felt like I couldn't do it, And it's 354 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: a disservice to that child, it's a disservice to myself 355 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: to do it that way. I just felt that I 356 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't be good, that it wouldn't be right. And yeah, 357 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: you can look at it differently. You can say, well, 358 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: God was testing you and you had to follow through 359 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: on that, and that could be the case, and it 360 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 2: is what it is. That's my relationship, that's what you know. 361 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: That's how I move forward with that. But I shared 362 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: it just in case someone else may have been going 363 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: through that. They may have questioned it, they may have 364 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: been concerned, they may have been worried. I want them 365 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: to know that if I am somebody that they look 366 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: at or they look up to it, they're feel encouraged 367 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: by that. Despite the choices that I've made, make a 368 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 2: right choice for you. You don't have to do what 369 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 2: I did. You don't have to not do what I did, 370 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 2: But I would like to encourage you to do what's 371 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: best for you, because even in whatever somebody thinks it 372 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: is or good and bad. It's your journey, so whatever 373 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 2: decision you make is the right one because it's going 374 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: to get you to where you need to go. 375 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 3: With an agonizing process that you went through. Were there 376 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: a lot of. 377 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 2: Like it was extremely agonizing, it was terrible, and coming 378 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 2: from the family that I come from, you know, my 379 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: family is not religious in a way where it's like, 380 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 2: you know, but we are religious, you know, so it 381 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 2: was kind of like a thing where, damn, this is 382 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: not what I saw me doing. You know. I felt 383 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: bad or I questioned it and all of these things, 384 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: but ultimately I came to the decision. I came to 385 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 2: with God, and I was okay to move forward with it, 386 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: you know. And I I'm very grateful for my son 387 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 2: and what I have now and the time that it 388 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 2: took to get to this point. I can't say that 389 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: I regretted. 390 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 3: Did you share that information with the father at the time? 391 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 2: I did? 392 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: And how did he feel about it? Is your like 393 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: you said, your body, your choice, Yeah, but it didn't 394 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: seem like he was very excited about it. 395 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if he I don't 396 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 2: want to say anything bad about this person, so I'll 397 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 2: just say that leave that there. I know how to 398 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: put it into words. 399 00:18:52,720 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: You know, polecistic ovarian syndrome causes acne, bad act in puberty, excess. 400 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 2: Why would you say it like that causes acne, bad actne. 401 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: Extreme body hair, gosh, excess face hair. You know you 402 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: have little mustad go tea. 403 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 2: Yes, it do. 404 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: What I mean as a I can just only imagine 405 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: as a child and young lady. 406 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know guys have an actor. 407 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Yeah it's bad, but okay, you got you a guy, 408 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: and you got extensive here, so what you got a 409 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: beard at twelve for a young lady? 410 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: And some might even say it's in reverse because at 411 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 2: least I could put a little makeup on, you know 412 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like, you know, guys, it's kind of 413 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: just there. I mean, they can make up on two, 414 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: but I don't know if it's always the first thing 415 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 2: that they turn to. The reality is acne is terrible, 416 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 2: like and people always think drink water. I'm sad of 417 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 2: this water. Don't do it for anybody, you know what 418 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: I mean. Sometimes people got something going on, and so 419 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 2: for me it was like it's hormonal, you know, I 420 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: can't really control it and not try many different things. 421 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 2: And I do say, you know, investing in dermatologists, because 422 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 2: sometimes you do need medication, you know what I'm saying, 423 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 2: Like you do, you probably should talk about it. But 424 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: what people don't realize and why I spoke out about 425 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: it again something personal that I want to share, was 426 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: only so it could benefit somebody else struggling with a 427 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: difficult decision or confidence issue, because it absolutely makes you 428 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 2: feel bad. I've had moments in my life where I 429 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 2: woke up feeling good and then I see my skin 430 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my gosh, I need to go 431 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: back into the bedroom. How I'm going to go on 432 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: with this day? And that sounds crazy and it sounds strange. 433 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: But when you can control every aspect of your life, 434 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 2: you know, we can. I can get up and I 435 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: can go to the gym, I can do X, Y 436 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: and Z or whatever, and even that's difficult, Like that's 437 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 2: a whole other conversation in itself as well. When you 438 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 2: just feel like there's something in your life that you 439 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: can't control, it's extraordinarily debilitating. It really is. And I 440 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 2: don't know that people often think about that with acne, 441 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 2: and I always make that joke where I'm like, if 442 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: I could go on to the doctors and get me 443 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 2: a fat ass, why can't I get me a clean skin? 444 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: You know, it sucks, like I don't know why. That's 445 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: not something that could be easily changed, right, but it's 446 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 2: not right, and it really is terrible of But you 447 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: know a lot of people experience it, and I'm one 448 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: of them. 449 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: You said your son helped you with acne, So having 450 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: a child. 451 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: Yes, because so because of me, my acne is usually 452 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: its hormony duce. Right when I had more, I think 453 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: it was progesterone. It made my skin downs because I 454 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 2: actually have a lot of testosterone. That's why I get that. 455 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: So that why you be tried down? Why you be 456 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: trying to have a fan, you be trying to have 457 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: a fang lung. 458 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: I knew this was coming. Yeah, I knew this. 459 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 3: I knew I knew it. Something something just sit right 460 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: with my spirit. I knew you had to be in charge. 461 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 2: You need a little bit of that sometimes, you know. 462 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: So look, can you have mentioned that? 463 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, like, man, they got all these other enhancements, 464 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: why can't they have something to get rid of this acne? 465 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: Is that the only type of plastic surgery you would consider. 466 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Any kind of female enhancement you would consider. Is that 467 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: now you don't have to worry about that. But that 468 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: was the only enhancement you would have considered. 469 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: I mean after the breastfeeding with my son. I mean, 470 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: it was a horror show. But I'll be honest. I mean, 471 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: I'm here for whatever people want to do. I think personally, 472 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: I'm a little bit scared and frightening. I think, you know, 473 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: it's one of those things where I think you probably 474 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 2: have to maintain it, you know, which could be tough 475 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: on your pockets and your body. But I'm here for 476 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 2: whatever people want to do to make them feel good, 477 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: especially like I'm saying, like after you have a kid, 478 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: your body changes for real, you know. So yeah, whatever 479 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: makes you feel good and like yourself. 480 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: How many before you had your son and it basically 481 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: helped the acnique go away, how many procedures or how 482 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: many treatments had you gone through trying to deal with it? 483 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, so many. The more severe of treatments. 484 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: I went through, medications, laser treatments, I mean just really 485 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 2: anything that you could think of. It just didn't help 486 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 2: severe diets. You know, I would go on extreme diets 487 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: and I would get one time I was just too thin. 488 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't even look like myself, you 489 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: know what I mean, And it didn't even help my skin. 490 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: So it's just like I did everything under the sun. 491 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: And that's why I tell people, when you know somebody 492 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: that struggle with acne, careful what you say, because that 493 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 2: person has probably tried mostly everything. There's not really much 494 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: of anything that somebody could tell me that I ain't tried. 495 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 2: And so I feel like I do wish that the 496 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: conversation surrounds as arounding acne could change the Sometimes when 497 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 2: people are telling you about your their troubles with acne, 498 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean I'm looking for you to fix it. 499 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: It just means I want somebody to talk to about 500 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: what I'm dealing with. 501 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: You know, Cardi B just had a baby, Shante, and 502 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: they're already started working out. How soon after you gave 503 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,959 Speaker 1: birth to your son, did you start back working out? 504 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: Saying I got to get Kiki's body back. 505 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know if I was like, I gotta 506 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: get Key's body back, because I don't know how quickly 507 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: that was going to happen. But I did say let 508 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: me do something to get back to myself. My big 509 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: thing was trying to get back to myself as best 510 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: as I could, because you just start feeling so different 511 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: and not like yourself. If emotionally it's a bit of 512 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: a wreck. So I remember like going on the treadmill, 513 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 2: doing walks and stuff like that, but nothing too severe 514 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: until maybe, like I don't know, maybe like two months 515 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: after the baby. Then I started trying to like train 516 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 2: and stuff again. Some of that wight. I wish I 517 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 2: kept it dwindled, especially in the back. 518 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 3: Did you did you have any postpartum? 519 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: I had tons of postpartum. I do feel like postpartum 520 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: is something that people talk about as a period of 521 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: time after you have the kid, but I think it's 522 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: like lifelong, and I think you get used to it 523 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: because it's just kind of like, really again, it really 524 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: wrecks you. I remember thinking at one point early on 525 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: after I'd had my son, my mom was holding mom. 526 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 2: I was like let them go, Like it was like, girl, 527 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 2: that's your mama, right, you know. But you're like so 528 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: afraid of everything. 529 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 3: And so. 530 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: Concerned, And I'm sure there's something like human about that 531 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: or mammal like that. Derives from just science, you know 532 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 2: what I mean. But now we're in a different type 533 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 2: of society and we're quote unquote civilized, and so what 534 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 2: is in us innately? It sometimes does and have a 535 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 2: place quote unquote here, but you still have the feelings, 536 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: and so for me, I think, yeah, in your mind, 537 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: it all feels normal, it all feels real. But I 538 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 2: think it's just like trying to figure out what real 539 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: danger is and what's just your fear of motherhood is 540 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 2: really really difficult, and it's something that you're constantly doing 541 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 2: for the rest of your life. 542 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: Kiki, When did a Hollywood turn to these weight loss drugs, 543 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: the ozimpic, tr zepetide or a major. 544 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 3: When did that happen? 545 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: I feel like it's always been around, I think so. 546 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: I think it's just got a new brand name, you 547 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 2: know what I mean. I feel like people, you know, 548 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: there are things out there that can assist you and 549 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: help you, you know. So I feel like it's something 550 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: that's common. I had never heard of it too, ozimpic, 551 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: But when I speak about it or I've heard about it, 552 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: people have a conversation about it. 553 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: I think it's something well, I heard about it, but 554 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: it's normally the people that actually needed that had an 555 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: actual diagnosis to be able to take. 556 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: It now, not the shade that you're trying to throw 557 00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: each on. 558 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: Whatever you feel you need to do, take off. 559 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that too. I feel like Look, honestly, 560 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: I feel similarly about my skin as I do about weight. 561 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: And I think it's as simple as people think it is. 562 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 2: I think people sometimes say, oh, just get up on 563 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 2: the treadmill or just right, yeah, yeah, and I don't know, 564 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: sometimes it really is not what you think it is, 565 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: you know. And not to also say that you need 566 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: to lose weight. I think whatever makes you feel good 567 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: about you. 568 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: You can't lose no weight. You disappear. I mean you 569 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: a bucko fire right there. 570 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 2: But it's howling. 571 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 3: You disappear at no time? Is it hard mess you? 572 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: Because we've been seeing this thing about the fifty to 573 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: fifty men and women go fifty fifty. 574 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 3: Women's that I ain't going nothing. You tried to coat me. 575 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: You go one hundred percent or it's gonna be nothing 576 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: hilarious more times than not, Kiki. I mean, I look, 577 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: you you've been pretty private with your dating life, but 578 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: a lot of time, I mean now you've gone public 579 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: with the guy that you had the child from, you 580 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: make more money than him. How hard is it to 581 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: date that you find it to date somewhere like yourself 582 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: and a man that doesn't make as much or not 583 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: more than you. 584 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 3: Is that hard? 585 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I think I became a millionaire at twelve. 586 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: To expect everybody to have become a millionaire at twelve 587 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 2: and learn money management and have a business manager at twelve, 588 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 2: to me just seems not realistic. I started working ten 589 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: fifteen years before most of my generation had their first job. 590 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 2: This is like most obviously some people different, but no, 591 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: I don't hold people to those standards, you know what 592 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: I mean? Like, I feel like if I wanted somebody 593 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: that made as much as me, this would be a 594 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: date and not an interview. Because okay, so I feel 595 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 2: like when it comes to guys our age every dawn, 596 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 2: then you might find somebody that's out there making it 597 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 2: making it, But most of the time they're gonna be 598 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 2: my mom and dad. They went fifty to fifty all 599 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: my life. So when I hear some of the stuff 600 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 2: that people are saying, you know what I'm saying about 601 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 2: relationships and dating, I'm just kind of like, I don't 602 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: know how that's going to work, but maybe I'm tripping. 603 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 1: But how about this, Maybe the guy that makes as 604 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: much as you more than you you're not interested in or. 605 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 2: It's not interested in me. You know, it goes both ways. Yes, 606 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: when you're basing things, I think off of just totally 607 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 2: financial or totally off of good looks or totally off 608 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 2: of whatever. Right, your lists become smaller and smaller and 609 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 2: smaller and smaller. Yes, And I also think, hey, you 610 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: should have boundaries and limits. You can't. You can't. There 611 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 2: is a I'm too open, you know what I'm saying. 612 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 2: You might find yourself with John Joe that live on 613 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 2: the corner right, you know, So there has to be 614 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 2: some leeway just as much as there has to be 615 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: some twiddling it down. But I don't necessarily agree with 616 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 2: you know, again, for everybody's lifestyle, I don't need you 617 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: to pay for everything for me. I actually prefer you 618 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 2: to not to. I'll let you. I'll let you know 619 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: when I would when I would like for you to 620 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: spend something. We go half on something, We can go 621 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 2: half on something possibly, you know. But I feel really 622 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 2: like there's so much more that I would be looking 623 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: forward to bring to the table than just what's in 624 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: your pockets. I would look for you to provide things 625 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: that I can't provide for myself. 626 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Shining Sharp and I'm a road sponsor.

But 663 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: at least I have some business to head to, you know, 664 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 2: when I get on your nerves, right, So I think 665 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 2: you know, I'm realistic with what I expect from people, 666 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 2: from man and women. Okay, people gonna get on your nerves. 667 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 2: And I use my parents as an example. You don't 668 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: get to thirty plus years without getting on somebody nerves, 669 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: without disappointing somebody when I heard somebody's feeling, without growing 670 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 2: through something forgiving, loving, having compassion, understanding, and arriving at 671 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: a place where you could say, I really. 672 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: Love you, right, Kiki, when you like have a disagreement. 673 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: I remember the therapist told me this. This was like 674 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: thirty years ago. She said, Shannon, are you arguing to 675 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: be right? Are you arguing for right? 676 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: I'm arguing with us against the problem. But I have 677 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 2: argued to be right. Yeah, relationship, Yes you can. You can, 678 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 2: and that's how you've learned. Yes, yes, yes, how you've learned. 679 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 2: I'm definitely arguing to be right. But then I learned 680 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 2: that Okay, wait a minute. And I talk about this 681 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: in my book to where it's a conversation though it's 682 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 2: a conversation that you have with yourself right where you're like, oh, 683 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 2: wait a minute. In order to be a we, I 684 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: have to really act. 685 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 3: Like a we. 686 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: But sometimes you found yourself in relationships where you're still 687 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 2: acting like a me, and then you have to ask yourself, 688 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 2: do I even want to be a weed? That's a 689 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: real question, said, Do I really? And not even I 690 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 2: want to say these days all the time, but I 691 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 2: think that obviously we're in a different place financially where 692 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 2: some you know, back in the day, women couldn't even 693 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 2: stand on their own, but now that people you know 694 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 2: can more often than not equally stand on their own, 695 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 2: you're asking the question of do I want to consider 696 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 2: someone else? And I do believe there is autonomy in 697 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 2: deciding to commit yourself. I was having this conversation with 698 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 2: my homegirl. We were talking about how, like you know, 699 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 2: a girl, I think I actually have been quite noncommittal. 700 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 2: And let me put it like this, a lot of 701 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 2: people see noncommittal and they think about guys they want 702 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 2: to have a bunch of options, And okay, well, no, 703 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 2: I'm not noncommittal in the sense where I wanted to 704 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: have a bunch of options. But I knew that I did, 705 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 2: and I had no patience for anyone that didn't in 706 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: this little tiny box that I created for them. And 707 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: that's when I realized for myself, oh my gosh, that 708 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: is also a version of being noncommittal because you're just 709 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 2: not trying to commit to the realization that girl, somebody's. 710 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 3: Gonna get on your nerves exactly. 711 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 2: You know, if you just keep trading everybody out, or 712 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 2: you keep just moving on, or you're cutting yourself off, 713 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 2: then you're never going to get to what ultimately commitment is, 714 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: which is really loving and caring for somebody for being 715 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 2: who they are and all that comes with that. And 716 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 2: you know, again, I think it's a choice. It's okay 717 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 2: to not want that, but I don't think that in 718 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 2: order to have that you have to lose yourself because 719 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 2: it's you that has decided to give yourself to that. 720 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 2: But it's a lot that goes into it. 721 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: Well, the quickest way if you want to find out 722 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: if you want to be a week, get into a 723 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: disagree with your partner. That's the surest and quickest way 724 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: to find out if you want to be meet or 725 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: you want to be we. 726 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 2: What has been your experience to that, I'm not sure 727 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: of all your if you've been married or if you 728 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: are married, So you found you feel like you never 729 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: found nobody that you felt like you wanted to get 730 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 2: past that argument. 731 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 3: With no uh, Damn, that was quick. No, it was no, 732 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 3: I didn't know. 733 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: I meant that, like the only thing I've ever wanted 734 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: to do was get my family out of the situation 735 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: that we were in. And I always said that if 736 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: I had kids, I didn't want them to spend one 737 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: minute in a life that I had let alone a day, 738 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: And so I was so focused on that and sacrifice. 739 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: I understood, the greater the sacrifice, the greater the goal, 740 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: the greater the sacrifice needed to achieve that goal. 741 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 3: And so I missed out. 742 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think one of my biggest regrets is that 743 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: everything that I've accomplished professionally had been football are doing 744 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: it now that I really haven't had a whole lot 745 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: of speople to share it with. 746 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 2: But you're so handsome and still young and vibe and 747 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 2: why we why is it over now? Overa? But I 748 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 2: do get what you mean. It can feel like time 749 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 2: has passed. Yes, yeah it can, you know, but it hasn't. 750 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 2: But it does it? It can't feel like that. 751 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't got hope. 752 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: I've read of skin color is that well a lot 753 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: of times that when you were younger, you wish you 754 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: were of lighter. 755 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 2: Complexion, you know what. I talk about this also in 756 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 2: my book, where I think that value systems and society 757 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: they can make you think you want something else when 758 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 2: really all you want is to be valued, right, And 759 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 2: so I think I noticed early on that there was 760 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 2: this discrepancy idea with lighter skin and darker skin. Yes, 761 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 2: I never looked in the mirror and didn't think I 762 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 2: was beautiful, But what I hated was that other people 763 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 2: thought I should feel less beautiful just because I wasn't 764 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 2: of particular skin tone. And I think we see this 765 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: all the time with how people think that their bodies 766 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 2: should be, or how people think that their face should be, 767 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 2: or how people think that their hair should be. And 768 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 2: some of that is, you know, just people wanting that, 769 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 2: but then a lot of it is based on society's 770 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 2: idea of what value is. So it's not really that 771 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 2: you want the bigger butt or the smaller waists, or 772 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 2: the you know, buckle vat removal, or the lighter skin 773 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: or the darker skin. It's really that you want to 774 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 2: be seen a that And so I talk a lot 775 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: about like being able to pull back those layers of 776 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 2: what really is at the root of what any of 777 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 2: us want it's really just to be accepted. 778 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: What when people thought on social media? I saw where 779 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 1: I was reading that they thought you were bleaching your skin? 780 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what they thought that. 781 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 3: I was like, man Kiki on that, Sami sosa. 782 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 2: Ah, Now why does Sammy get clought? 783 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,479 Speaker 3: My bad? Sammy, my bad? You didn't catch your straight 784 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 3: you did? 785 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,240 Speaker 2: I'm howling? Yeah, no, I mean, I've never bleached my skins. 786 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: But what about But then there's the comparisons Ewan's and Dae. 787 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: There's a I think she's even thinner than you, and 788 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: you you pretty. 789 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 2: Pretty THI yeah, I mean I think comparisons. There are 790 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 2: things that people do, you know, specifically to women, and 791 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 2: then unfortunately, definitely in our community, they do it based 792 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 2: on complexion. You know. I remember again I was talking 793 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 2: about this my book, and I go into greater detail 794 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 2: that it's one of those things for me where if 795 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: you don't see how possible it is for you to 796 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 2: achieve so much through me being the complexion that you 797 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 2: think is not deserving or not succeeding with all that 798 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 2: I succeeded, that's when it's tough, Shae Shay, That's when 799 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 2: it's tough for me because I do all these things 800 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 2: and I'm representing us, right, so then you should know. 801 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 6: That that's a lie that you can And by the way, 802 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 6: I'm not the only one that's Oprah Winfrey, Viola Davis Grogi, 803 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 6: p Ensign Angela Basic, Geeky Palmer, Naomi Campbell. 804 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 2: Making Good, making Good, I mean, the list goes on. 805 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: And so I think it's fighting against those social constructs 806 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,439 Speaker 2: that tell our people that because you're this, you can't 807 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 2: be that. Because you're that, you can't be this. And 808 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 2: so you know, it's kind of like a let me 809 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 2: go back to the drawing board and see what I 810 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 2: can cook up. But it's one of those things where 811 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 2: if you can't really change people's perceptions no of what 812 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 2: their life can be, and if it means diminishing you 813 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 2: to agree to the status quo that I've accepted so 814 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 2: that I don't push myself further, then that's what I'm 815 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 2: gonna do. But facts are the facts. 816 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: You shaved your head? Yes, was that liberating? Where you're like, 817 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what was what was that? What was the 818 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: thought process? How does one go a young lady go 819 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: through the process, like you know what? Yeah, I think 820 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a good idea, you know what, I'm 821 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: about to shave my hair. 822 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 2: I was so tired. I think of like, look, I've 823 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 2: always been I've always been doing refinement. You know. I loved, 824 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 2: you know, coming and being a little adult, you know, 825 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 2: true Jackson VP. I love to be like I've got 826 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 2: a briefcase on the way and I'm going to own 827 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,720 Speaker 2: someone's business. I've always had that energy. But what happens 828 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 2: in the industry, obviously when you were star or entertainer, 829 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 2: people latch on and what they love to sell about you, 830 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 2: what they love to commodify, most likely is a part 831 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 2: of you. But then it all of a sudden feels 832 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 2: like it's away from you. And I felt like as 833 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 2: a kid that what was already naturally me became so 834 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 2: commodified in a way that it felt it felt like 835 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 2: it was out of my control. And so I feel 836 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,240 Speaker 2: like as I grew up, I was trying to always 837 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 2: figure out, okay, outside of what people are trying to 838 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 2: control me to be and make me up to be, 839 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 2: and these managers and these people, and they're all trying 840 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 2: to do what's really mean, And so then you explore, 841 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 2: try new outfits on, you try new hairdoes you try 842 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 2: a new attitude. You try a lot of different things, 843 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 2: but who you are is always who you are, correct 844 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: And so even in shaving my head, it was a 845 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 2: part of the journey of me rediscovering who I am 846 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 2: on my own terms. And if I'm going to commodify myself, 847 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 2: I'm not going to lose myself. And that's what I 848 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 2: found myself too. And so yeah, I think cutting my 849 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 2: hair was a form of me stepping away from all 850 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 2: the chaos that people started putting on me and re 851 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 2: establishing Yeah, this is me. You know I can I 852 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 2: can wear my fro and nope, and I can come 853 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 2: here and sit here with this fabulous wig on stiff wall. 854 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 5: Yo. 855 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 2: You know I can do it all. And I don't 856 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 2: feel like one is better than the other or I 857 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 2: can only do one over the other. And I think 858 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 2: sometimes when I was a kid, that was what was 859 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 2: being pushed on me. 860 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 3: Did you ever were you afraid of man? Damn, what 861 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 3: if my head or grow back? 862 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 2: I never thought of that. Thank god, they probably would 863 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 2: have started, you know what I mean, That would have 864 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 2: been spooky, spoogy hoogy. I just thought, girl, cut it 865 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,439 Speaker 2: off and then it grew back even better. 866 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 3: There was a comment. 867 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't a comment, it was you said it, I'm 868 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: gender fluid. 869 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 3: What does that mean? 870 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 2: So I didn't say I'm jender fluid. I said that 871 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 2: I am what people describe as gender fluid, even though 872 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily. Oh wait a minute, I thought you 873 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 2: said gender. I didn't. 874 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 3: Wait, what are you talking about gender fluidity? 875 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 2: Gender fluidity, or you're talking about sexual fluidity. There's so 876 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 2: much Fluidity's so gender fluid? 877 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 3: Oh you sexually fluid. 878 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 2: So Wendy Williams called me sexually fluid. That means that 879 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 2: means that you they I mean in so many words, 880 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 2: that's what it means. That's what she called me. Yes, yes, 881 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 2: well she called me that because of my video auto below. 882 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 2: It was a long story, you know, but I was 883 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 2: being opening. I was being open and saying I love 884 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 2: who loves me, and she took that as sexually fluid. 885 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 2: Now gender fluidity or gender non conforming. I think I 886 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 2: do fit that box in a lot of ways, even 887 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 2: though my pronouns are she right, yeah, But I but 888 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: to that. You know, when I won the Vanguard Award 889 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,359 Speaker 2: at the lgbt U Plus Gala, I spoke about how 890 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 2: as a woman so much much sometimes are the things 891 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,240 Speaker 2: that I am I often did feel I wasn't allowed 892 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 2: to be. You know, it's kind of like what you 893 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 2: had you were making a joke. But you know, with 894 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 2: me having quote unquote high testosterone or showing up in 895 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 2: the way that my father has always showed up, it 896 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 2: actually is because I admire him so much. You know, 897 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 2: I have had very very strong male figures in my 898 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 2: life that taught me to take no mess, to speak 899 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 2: up for myself, to hold my head high, to own 900 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 2: who I am, to go for what I want. And 901 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 2: sometimes people say that's only stuff that men can be. 902 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 2: And so for me going into the world out of 903 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 2: being in my family with my dad and his brothers, 904 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 2: he's one of nine boys. All my uncles, my uncle 905 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 2: Regga used to have me climb on the walls and 906 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 2: say yet it kay kay. My uncle would have me 907 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 2: banging on the outside stare saying I leave boom bay ye, 908 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 2: a leave boom bay ye. You know, they encouraged me, 909 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 2: and so I think for me and I think this 910 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 2: is what anybody speaks of. They just want to be 911 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 2: able to be themselves right and don't want all the 912 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 2: society idea. You know I'm a woman, Yes, you know 913 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 2: what I mean. But the men in my life told 914 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 2: me that I could also be strong correct, and I 915 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 2: don't want to feel like I'm wrong for that or 916 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 2: I can't be who I am for that. 917 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 3: You know, listen that you talk. 918 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: You need a very I don't know your situation, but 919 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,479 Speaker 1: I know you need a very, very very strong man. 920 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: You are a very very You are a very very 921 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: strong woman. 922 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 2: Now what does that mean? Tell me what that you 923 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,439 Speaker 2: describe that man? 924 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 3: You need an alpha. 925 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: You need an alpha alpha I'm talking about And when 926 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: he walks into room, he commands attention. He has everybody's 927 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: under undivided attention when they look at him. 928 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 3: That's a man. 929 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, what is it about me that 930 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 2: gives that?

I don't like that? 938 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 3: And a man? 939 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: You want a man to be a man because your 940 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: father was a man, and you hold your father in 941 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: such high regards. 942 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 5: Larry. 943 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 2: I remember in that time period that I was telling 944 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 2: you about where the people were trying to take me 945 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 2: from my family and talking about all the money I made. 946 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 2: I said something very hurtful to my father. He said, well, 947 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:43,240 Speaker 2: I'm the one making all the money. He said, very calmly, 948 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 2: there's a lot more that goes into leading a family 949 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 2: than making some money. He didn't scream at me, he 950 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 2: didn't berape me. He just said that and walked off. 951 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 2: Larry has taught me everything that it means to be 952 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 2: of service. What is sacrifice and reward? What is kindness? 953 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 2: And strength under pressure? And yes, that is everything I 954 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 2: expect a man to be. 955 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: There was an incident to happen, and you spoke about 956 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: the tree Song's incident. You don't have to get into it, 957 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: but I would like it come on hand. 958 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 2: That was so deep you ain't got to. 959 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 3: But how important is it for women to speak up, 960 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 3: to speak out? 961 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 2: It's important. I know it's hard if somebody doesn't want 962 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 2: to speak out. I'm also not that person op pressure 963 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 2: because there's another things that I've endured that I ain't 964 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 2: spoke spoke about, spoken about. No, I haven't put it 965 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 2: in the book. Why why. I don't know how. I 966 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 2: don't know what the reason would be to bring it 967 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 2: up or what it would be to talk about. And again, 968 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 2: I'm very cautious of everything I say and everything I do, 969 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 2: because I don't like to be salacious. I like for 970 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 2: everything I say to have a reason and a meaning. 971 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 2: And with that video, it was hard to speak out 972 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 2: about all that because I didn't want people to think 973 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,399 Speaker 2: I was trying to just say like he was trying 974 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 2: to get at me, he wanted me, because I don't 975 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 2: think that's what it was about. It was just about power, 976 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 2: and sometimes people's sexual prowess is their power. If I 977 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 2: think you want me, then I can use that to 978 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 2: get you to do what I want. I think it 979 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 2: was simply that I just didn't I didn't want him 980 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 2: like that. I respect him, I didn't see him that way, 981 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 2: and so that's why I went the way it went. 982 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 2: And I just wanted to stand up for myself because 983 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 2: I felt that I hadn't stood up for myself in 984 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 2: the moment. So when the video came out, that's what 985 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 2: you saw. And so I think for anybody you know, 986 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 2: speak up when you feel that the time is right. 987 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 2: But always get it out, Always tell somebody, speak it, 988 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 2: talk it through, figure out how to process what it 989 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 2: is you went through it that you experienced because a 990 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 2: lot of women, I'm be honest, a lot of women 991 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 2: have been assaulted and don't even know. That's the weird 992 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 2: nuances that it comes to when it comes to rape 993 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 2: culture in our society. It's so embedded that a lot 994 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,239 Speaker 2: of people don't know when they're even being harassed or 995 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 2: when someone did something inappropriate. But they just have all 996 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,479 Speaker 2: these feelings and then all of a sudden they start 997 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 2: changing and they don't know how to act, and they 998 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 2: don't know why they're feeling the way they're feeling. So 999 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 2: I think it's important to write down how you feel, 1000 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,399 Speaker 2: talk to somebody, speak to somebody about it, and get 1001 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 2: it out so that you can understand the experiences that 1002 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 2: you've had, whether you want to take them to court 1003 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 2: or not. 1004 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 1: You got a book, Master of Me, The Secret to 1005 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: Controlling Your Narrative. The book comes out November nineteenth, twenty 1006 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 1: twenty four. What can people expect? Are we going to 1007 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: get a different side of Kiki? What are we going 1008 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:45,840 Speaker 1: to get from this book? 1009 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, well, it depends on how much you're 1010 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 2: into my work. If you're super into it, then you're 1011 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 2: going to feel like this is the key you know 1012 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 2: that's continuing to evolve and develop and grow as a 1013 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 2: young woman. If you don't know me, then you're going 1014 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,399 Speaker 2: to get a lot of interesting things that you aren't 1015 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,359 Speaker 2: privy to you. But I'll be honest, this isn't I'm 1016 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 2: not you know, I don't believe in sip and tea. 1017 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 2: That's bitter. I'm not a bitter person, you know what 1018 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 2: I mean. I share information if I feel that it's 1019 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 2: going to be useful for the next person. But ultimately, 1020 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 2: this is a book about self mastery, about being able 1021 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 2: to show up for yourself in a better way that 1022 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 2: allows you to live in this world where we really 1023 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,760 Speaker 2: can't control much, where things are going to go away 1024 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,440 Speaker 2: that you didn't expect them to. That you can do 1025 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 2: everything that you thought in your mind was correct and 1026 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 2: things still may crumble. How do you survive from that? 1027 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 2: And on the other side of it, It's also about entrepreneurialism. 1028 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 2: It's about diversifying right. A lot of people talk about 1029 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 2: me with you can keep a bad Palmber, Okay, Well, 1030 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 2: this book is about how I was able to do that, 1031 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 2: how I'm able to work in corporate and as an 1032 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 2: independent contractor, and what the steps I took to get there, 1033 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 2: and knowing that again, I'm not trying to change a 1034 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 2: system that's been around hundreds of years before me, no 1035 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 2: matter how how flawed we all know it to be. 1036 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 2: There can be some changes, but I'm not going to 1037 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,520 Speaker 2: allow myself to be distracted around with that. Like Tony 1038 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 2: Morrison said, who I can't remember her exact quote, but 1039 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 2: sometimes racism and all that stuff it can be a 1040 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 2: distraction to what you're really trying to do.
