Speaker 1: I saw the women in my life having to struggle
Speaker 1: in fight and be independent and take care of themselves.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking around, like where are the men. I
Speaker 1: am your host of a cross generations, Tiffany D. Cross,
Speaker 1: and this is the only place where you will hear
Speaker 1: three different perspectives from three distinct generations of black women.
Speaker 1: And I'm so thrilled to invite you to this conversation.
Speaker 1: What is it that you would say to women? This
Speaker 1: is what I'm bringing to the table.
Speaker 2: I bring a lot to the table.
Speaker 1: You don't cook or clean.
Speaker 2: My education, my network, my organizational.
Speaker 1: Skills, that's what you bring to the table. I think
Speaker 1: in a professional capacity. And he's older than you, so
Speaker 1: he's not looking at you for your network. He's built
Speaker 1: his network.
Speaker 2: It takes more than cooking and cleaning to build a life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to raise children and to support the success of
Speaker 1: your partner. You want to be a project manager in
Speaker 1: your house, the CEO of the household.
Speaker 2: I can do that.
Speaker 1: We have joining us, the amazing Miss Dion Worick. Did
Speaker 1: you ever feel like you were dimming your light to
Speaker 1: make him feel better?
Speaker 3: Well? Stuck and tried to make them as comfortable as
Speaker 3: I possibly could oh this Dion Wood know there's missus.
Speaker 1: Jelliet Mandy Bee.
Speaker 2: I got an abortion when I was sixteen years old.
Speaker 2: I didn't feel a thing. It's nothing I regret.
Speaker 1: I'm also pro choice. It wasn't even legal though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you was never a wow.
Speaker 1: If we don't tell our stories, who will? We're all
Speaker 1: we have. We are unique, We contain stories. Only we understand.
Speaker 1: Only we know our secrets.
Speaker 2: I was in my early twenties when I lost my mother.
Speaker 2: You have to be in control because nobody is going
Speaker 2: to make you feel better. You gotta do it yourself.
Speaker 1: Do you have white friends?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Why they don't serve me?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: They well, our friendship supposed to serve you. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: God is good, you say all the time, all the time,
Speaker 1: God is good. I'm questioning both, y'all, black heart. On
Speaker 1: this journey to dating, do you care about who was
Speaker 1: paying for these activity when it comes to paying. If
Speaker 1: it's a question, it's probably not a person I'm going
Speaker 1: to date.
Speaker 3: I've been dating for like ten or fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Why not get married?
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, I was married too much trauma. Really,
Speaker 3: the cheating doesn't stop in marriage. They teach you how
Speaker 3: to cheat.
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily believe that someone could be with one person.
Speaker 2: For their entire life.
Speaker 1: Monotymy is something that you can adjust to, yea, Natasha Brown.
Speaker 2: This superhuman kind of context actually keeps us as a disadvantage.
Speaker 2: The world treats us as if our humanity is not right.
Speaker 2: If black men and black women ever were able to
Speaker 2: move beyond to this next stage, to be able to
Speaker 2: love each other, love ourselves, and love ourselves deeply, ain't
Speaker 2: nobody gonna be able to stop us.
Speaker 3: I don't think these young men who are and I
Speaker 3: don't even know the name Whosine and all that they
Speaker 3: want to call themselves, they are angry not with their daughters.
Speaker 3: I think they're angry with the spouse.
Speaker 1: Nyla Simone.
Speaker 2: We might look alike, but because we all live such
Speaker 2: different lives, it's hard to get on the same page. Sometime.
Speaker 1: I think it's time that we come together black women
Speaker 1: and have this conversation where we go the world follows.
Speaker 1: This is a cross generations where black women's voices unite
Speaker 1: and together, you know how we do we create magic.
