No one person should dictate the other's dance. 17 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: Vibrantly chase the authenticity of oneself. That from the great 18 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: Laurie Anne Gibson during this podcast, I call it therapy 19 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: in very many ways, because Lorianne shared so many wonderful 20 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: stories about how she has arrived who she is and 21 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: rarely do I meet someone who I feel, and this 22 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: is my opinion, only is truly comfortable in their own skin. 23 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: Lorianne Gibson is one of the most important pop culture 24 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: influencers in entertainment today. Creative director, choreographer for a number 25 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: of superstars. Lorian's expertise in developing artists performance skills on 26 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: her an Emmy nomination for directing Lady Gaga's HBO concert special. 27 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: Yeah that Lady Gaga. You know who that is, right. 28 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: Lorianne also directed and choreographed Nicki minaj Is pink Print 29 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: World tour, did He's Bad Boy twenty at the anniversary 30 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: reunion Tour. I can go on and on and on 31 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: and on, but the point is you see that she 32 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: is a visionary more than a choreographer. Laurianne is a 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: force who people know if you got to deal with her, 34 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: you have to deal with her. There's no walking around her. 35 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: And that's not a bad thing. That's actually a really 36 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: good thing. And so when I asked her about dancing, 37 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: that simple platform dancing and what it has done for 38 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: her as a dancer. What does it mean? How does 39 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: she feel when she dances? All of the things she 40 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: was able to give me, And this is funny, y'all. 41 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: She was able to give me a conversation that I 42 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: am truly impressed with in the sense that dancing, to 43 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: me could simply be listening to music and making myself 44 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: feel good, or having fun or learning a routine. But 45 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: she explained it in such a way that gave me life. 46 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: Literally gave me life. Um. And I want to thank 47 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: her if she's listening, which I'm sure she is, for 48 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: sharing her story and blessing me so much so with 49 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: her wisdom. I'll tell you what her naked quality is. 50 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: There were a couple of things that came to mind 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: as she was talking, and I thought to myself, it's spirituality, 52 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: a naked quality. Um. Is it something that I see, 53 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: something that I feel when I talked to her, and 54 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: it is I don't necessarily know if it is, you know, 55 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: technically defined as a quality. For me, her naked quality 56 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: with spirituality is spirituality. She is phenomenal and she has 57 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: a presence and a purpose, and it has been obviously 58 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: documented all across the world. But now she was able 59 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: to do that for us here on the Naked Podcast. 60 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: Everybody welcome, laur Anne Gibson, Glorianne, thank you so much 61 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: for coming on Naked. I think I would love not 62 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: even I think I would love to know when you 63 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: started dancing. I know that I started in my mother's room. 64 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: I left the most ridiculous stretch marks on her, and 65 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: I say it's because I was dancing. I do believe 66 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: I was born with the gift of movement. That's how 67 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: I communicate, That's where my inspiration begins. And um, that's 68 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: how I wore you know. So I've always been a dancer, 69 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: will always be a dancer, and movement is synonymous with 70 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: who I am. My earliest memories are when I asked 71 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: my mother to actually put me in dance class. I 72 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: remember putting the towel on my head and dancing around 73 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: the house and never feeling insecure about moving and moving 74 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: my body. It was never a question for me, and 75 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: so she had put my other two sisters in dance 76 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: class and they had actually rejected it. They didn't like it. 77 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: So she's at yourself. She wasn't gonna put me in classes. 78 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: She was gonna waste that money, and I specifically asked, 79 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: and so at that point she was like, this is crazy. 80 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Why is this child asking to dance classes? And now 81 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: we know why? Yeah, how over you? When that happened, 82 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: I was like four to six. I was constantly moving 83 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: and very confident about uh dancing, you know. And I 84 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: see babies now and I see myself. I'm like, oh, 85 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: that's what I must have been doing. That's what I 86 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: felt like I was doing. I never not remember not dancing. 87 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: You know what you said something to me that I 88 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: think is interesting. You're always comfortable, he's even as a 89 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: child at four years old, dancing in your in your body. 90 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: That is probably the best way to describe how people 91 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: feel when they dance, or if they can't dance. If 92 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: you feel and you know that now, but as a 93 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: child between four and six years old, I don't necessarily 94 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: know if you can verbalize it that way. You just 95 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: knew that you belonged in that moment in dance. Yeah. 96 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: I think that what it was was my spirit, my 97 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: spirit which was free and rhythmic and not covered, not 98 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: captive nothing. It was free and your spirit moves, uh, 99 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: much like the rhythm of dance, and that's why I 100 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: wrote a book called Dance Your Dance, because everybody's spirit 101 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: is alive and part of who they are. Unfortunately, some 102 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: people they've just allowed it to die or be the 103 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: smallest part of their voice or their reaction. That's why 104 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: I talk about unleashing it, unleashing the passion, unleashing your 105 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: spirit which is attached to your passion. So my spirit 106 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: was always very free, always very pure, always moving, always 107 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: moving towards something up, never very heavy. So I always 108 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: held onto that just organically, and now I know it 109 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: was attached to my dream, which is why in my 110 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: discovery of the book and my methodology, I understand and 111 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: I say that if I can speak to your dream, 112 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: I can speak to your circumstance and unlock the knowledge 113 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: of that passion based on your spirit. To me, that explains, 114 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: and I'm laughing to myself why I can't dance because 115 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: there's a part of me that's a little conservative, which 116 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: was the reason why I started this podcast called Naked, 117 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: because I wanted to talk to people and I wanted 118 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: to just see who they were. And I feel I'm 119 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: always holding something back and that is also in my dance, 120 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: like I feel it in everything. Did your mother, sister Graham, 121 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: whomever who encouraged that spirit, because it needs to be 122 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: nurtured when you have it. Yes, I talked about that 123 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: in the book. But first year spirit is definitely not 124 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: one that is afraid to fly or did equal all 125 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: of that energy beaming into my lens right now? That's 126 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: not true? Right? I mean? Well, no, I just because 127 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: you told yourself now, what is really truly me? It's 128 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: so overwhelmingly confident and free and robust and vibrant that 129 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: instead of allowing it to take its perfect place in 130 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: my entire dynamics, I've oppressed it because somewhere along the 131 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: lines someone's told me that was not a good thing. 132 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: Or as a castor we must newscaster, or whatever that 133 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: perception of your greatness was, it was told to oppress 134 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: it rather than understand it. So I can implement it 135 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: as I go higher and higher, bigger and bigger, and 136 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: as I originate my perspective in this realm. Preach to 137 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: me today, give me my word today. Who you are? 138 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: You know? And that is why I wrote the book, 139 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: because no one person should dictate the other's dance, because 140 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: we need everybody to dance their dance in order for 141 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: us to dance ours, because everybody is uniquely crafted to 142 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: ultimately create this hom with humanity. That doesn't say me 143 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: like someone else, identify exactly like someone else, becomes someone else, 144 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: but vibrantly chase the authenticity of yourself. I love that. 145 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: Vibrantly chase. Okay, wait, so I'm sorry because you just 146 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: you blew my mind. I'm trying to ask you questions 147 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not, like that doesn't make sense. And I 148 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: do remember who told me that, like in my mind, 149 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: but let me bring it back because I want to 150 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: know more to tell me. Over the years, what I 151 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: do for a living, especially when I was at ESPN 152 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: required me to be like this, like me, even wearing 153 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: my hair like this is controversial for me. I'm so stunning, 154 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: but it's controversial and so unlike me, and I'm so 155 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: and I'm starting to shed that, which is why I 156 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: was always which is why everyone's draw onto you. By 157 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: the way, let's just take a moment. This, just take 158 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: a moment because you are afraid of no one and 159 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: so it is unapologetic. It is freeing, and it is 160 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: it is refreshing because as a woman in a business 161 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: that ultimately becomes dominated by men, and you work with 162 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: men who have big personalities, you don't stand down. And 163 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: that goes back to this childhood spirit that I'm asking 164 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: did your was your mother that who encouraged Lori Anne? Well, 165 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: my mother did, and that's because she was told that 166 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: she couldn't be a fashion designer, and so in that 167 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: journey that she took, they said, oh, what is a designer? 168 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: That's not a real job, And ultimately she decided that 169 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: she was not going to do that to her girls. 170 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: I come from three, three girls in the family, so 171 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: ultimately and the baby came with all of the manifestation 172 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: of that, and I needed my mother to be who 173 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: she was in order for her not to oppress ultimately 174 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: my purpose. So my mom was never don't. My mother 175 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: was do become and she's a super powerful woman in 176 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: that space. As you become and as you have been. Uh, 177 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: when did you realize dancing that this was it, that 178 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: you were it, and that that this love, the spirit 179 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: that you already had would then give you a platform 180 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: to speak to others as you are right now querfectly 181 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: when'd you know he was about to be famous? Not 182 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: that you do it for fame. But when didn't, He's like, Oh, 183 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm I'm the ship. That's just it, and I'm about 184 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: to blow up by I don't know that I ever 185 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: tell myself that narrative because I pride my intention right. 186 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: But as a younger girl, I knew how I felt 187 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: when I danced, and then when I went to school 188 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: to train, I talked about the steps in the book 189 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: training to sustain the journey for you to ultimately connect 190 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: with your purpose and those moments that will draw I 191 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: view into the dream. So I talked about training and sustaining. 192 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: Once I understood how the dance made me feel, I 193 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: had an appetite to learn all that I could in 194 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: order to be the best version of that in order 195 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: to never run out of that feeling or what sustains 196 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: that feeling. So going to Alvanali, training with the best 197 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: allowed me to stand on the knowledge of what I 198 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: chose to do, what I was passionate about. There was 199 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: nothing else that aligned me with the feeling of the 200 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: joy and the completeness of when I was dancing. Now 201 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: what would come out of that? As a visionary creative directing, 202 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: directing building superstars was also the knowledge of the other 203 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: things that my gift could actually do, which is where 204 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: I am now becoming being. So that took time, but 205 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: I talked about it in the book. I talked about 206 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: having the capacity to carry more than one gift, meaning 207 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: when you arrived at ESPN and your gift was actually 208 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: more overflowing than what that could sustain, there began to 209 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: be an understanding of I have more capacity. Maybe it's 210 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: an original show. Maybe it's the combination of that with this, 211 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: with entertainment. So you have to constantly allow yourself to 212 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: receive all that you have to give and m how 213 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: do you do that? How do you specifically do that? 214 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: I talked about it in the book, but I specifically 215 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: work by steps I do. But what happened was revelation 216 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: when I was a starving Danzer in New York, the 217 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: trials and tribulations that took me to that revelation. Meaning 218 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: I talked about hanging onto the feeling of the dream. 219 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: So any time I was in a situation that didn't 220 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: line up with the feeling of the dream, the dream 221 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: that God gave me the knowledge of that feeling, I 222 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: would create a new narrative. I would see that flag 223 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: as not that it's over, but that I had to 224 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: continue a certain way. So I challenged myself with each 225 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: obstacle by chance changing the narrative. When I didn't get 226 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: a job, not that I wasn't good enough, that there 227 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: was something else that I needed to train, something else 228 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: that I needed to understand about myself in order to 229 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: get the job that was right for me. So I 230 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: talked about changing the narrative ultimately understanding that passion, that dream, 231 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: that desire, and that capacity. So no one can speak 232 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: to you in a false way because it doesn't line 233 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: up with the knowledge of how you feel when you 234 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: think about that dream or when you're operating in your passion. Yes, 235 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: you need to work those choices. Then what happens is 236 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: you start to produce the validity of it, the understanding 237 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: of it. You start to define the essence of you, 238 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: which creates a reaction, success, opportunity, and you get stronger 239 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: and identifying with that, and and and and obviously this 240 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: is all like, by the way, the self it's not 241 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: self help, but the guide, the knowledge that you're you're 242 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: giving us on the podcast today is what you talk 243 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: about in your book. But I have to believe that 244 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: what you do as a black woman is rarefied air. 245 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about not the struggle, but they overcome, 246 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: the defining the the the Lorianne rule. If you will, 247 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: when you go into a room, you now set the tone. 248 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: But that wasn't always the case. Talk to talk to 249 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: someone who wants to do what you do, how do 250 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: they push through? Especially as a black woman in this 251 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: in this business, I think we acknowledge the pain of 252 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: the process and why it's there. And you know, for example, 253 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: when I left Gada after after building everyone, I was like, okay, there, 254 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: sure enough, not gonna question my kids after producing something 255 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: so iconic. But it was actually the most I was questioned, 256 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: the hardest. I was pushed, and when I walked away, 257 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: people's perception of that created a loneliness. I was curled 258 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: up in a ball. I was literally battling uh two 259 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: choices to give up or to persevere. But again I 260 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: was locked into the feeling of the dream. I refused 261 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: to hang on to a circumstance more than the knowledge 262 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: of how I felt when I thought about being who 263 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: I am today. You refused to hang onto a circumstance, 264 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: right because if you held onto that circumstance, what would happen. 265 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: I would have become someone else's perception and narrative of myself. 266 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: I would have become the circumstance, rather than persevered through 267 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: it and over came it and in overcoming it, what 268 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: was revealed was that I was not just supposed to 269 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: be one person's creative director. You know, I was supposed 270 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: to be exactly who I am, the inspiration, the creative visionary, 271 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: the black woman that's not limited by the white artist 272 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: that she built, but actually overcomes the idea that that 273 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: can't be possible. No, I know you're uncomfortable with the 274 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: knowledge of that, but those are the facts, and that 275 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: is the truth. Now what you do with it is 276 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: not my responsibility, but that, my friend, is the truth that, yes, 277 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: behind a white superstar was an incredibly still isn't an 278 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: incredibly magical creative visionary that has the ability to do 279 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: it again and again and again. Gems, Gems, Gems. When 280 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: we come back, Lorian Gibson continues to be naked.

So we've talked about so many 287 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: different things on the podcast with Lorian, but I do 288 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: want you to know this. With all of her excellence 289 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: and all of her positivity and confidence and Jenna say 290 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: qua if you will, Lorian is very candid about being 291 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: a black woman in this business. You hear me talking 292 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: about it all the time on the podcast. But it's 293 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: a fact of life. No matter no matter where you work, 294 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: no matter what you do, your color, the color rather 295 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: of your skin, will walk in a room before you do. 296 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is there will be challenges. 297 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: There will be questions, unfair questions, sometimes fair questions, doubts, 298 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: you name it, all because of the fact that not 299 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: only are you a woman, but also because of the 300 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: color of your skin. She talks about the time that 301 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: she on her own, decided to walk away from working 302 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: with Lady Gaga. Yes that Lady Gaga, twelve time Grammy 303 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: Award winning Artist Academy Award winner Lady Gaga her choice 304 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: Lorianne's choice. Now, you would think after she helped create 305 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: such a superstar, she would have been in high demand, 306 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: Lorianne explains, especially at that time her greatness was questioned, 307 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: how hard was it for you to walk away? It 308 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: was hard because it was manipulated in an oppressive environment. Yes, 309 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: as a female, as a black woman, and as an 310 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: incredibly gifted person, all of those elements were equally oppressive 311 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: at one time. I'm oppressingly because you're a female and 312 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be smarter than the men. I'm oppressing you 313 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: because every time I asked you for creative it's far 314 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: supersedes my knowledge of what it should be. And then 315 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: I'm oppressing you because you will not be dominated and 316 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: you won't buy into the lie. So it was an 317 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: algorithm of not just one level of oppressive, but but multiple. 318 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: But again, uh, the idea of how to persevere is 319 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: why I was able to gain the revelation and now 320 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: leave inspiration and and and steps for every young visionary, 321 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: every young black female that faces that conversation to abort 322 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: someone else's mission, to hang on to the evidence, walk 323 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: in it, and then actually get through it because sometimes 324 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: we need to see it, we need to hear it. 325 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: When we wake up, we go, okay, if boom cat 326 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: did this, I feel a little weak. But I'm all 327 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: just boom cat my way through this. And then what 328 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: happens is you now identify with the methodology that really 329 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with just me doing it, 330 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: but all of us doing it in order to achieve it. 331 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: And I think most people are not brave enough to 332 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: share that because once you blow up in your celebrity, 333 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: you don't want to admit how vulnerable you had to 334 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: be in the fight, that it was ugly, that you 335 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: had to stop, that you were misinterpreted, that you were lonely, 336 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: you were in the room but everybody was laughing at you. 337 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: So you were in the corner trying to maintain your 338 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: own identity and what that felt like. Um, it's not good. 339 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: It's not easy. I don't hide that. It sucks, but 340 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: in persevering you arrive at the place with the evolution 341 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: of who you are and it was more than enough. 342 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: It was just other people's perception of their own insecurities. 343 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: And that is unfortunately the business we're in, right I 344 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: call it do it's scared when you walk away from 345 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: something that most people think is a dream, job or 346 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: a destination, or I've made it a situation and you 347 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: still are not being fulfilled or suppressed. I say, do 348 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: it's scared? Would that be an accurate way to describe 349 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: what you did? Were you scared? I don't know. I mean, 350 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: once you feel that fear, I don't acknowledge it as scared. 351 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: I acknowledge it as hanging onto the dream, pushing, moving, 352 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: dancing through, choosing myself, choosing the dream, risking the choice, 353 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: demanding that destiny react to my choice, demanding that faith 354 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: is enough, working it as a substance, as a choice, 355 00:22:52,880 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: not as an idea, actually choosing faith over scare. The book, 356 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: as it said, unveils this blueprint to achieving dreams. Implement 357 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: it developed the world's greatest superstars, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minajh, 358 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: Katie Perry, did he the Jonas Brothers? When you have 359 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: that resume, why is a black woman? Do you still 360 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: have to prove yourself in certain circumstances? It's unacceptable to me, 361 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: I do believe because of the ignorance that is obviously 362 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: still rampant. Right, does that dictate my truth. No, each 363 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: one of those artists have a moment of impact where 364 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: I shifted whatever they needed to shift in order to 365 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: be what they've become. Now, you can challenge it. I 366 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: can challenge it, but I only challenge it because I 367 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: know what the evidence is. I know what that was 368 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: when it was there at that moment, and it defined 369 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: the creative choice. Right, I too, am like, Okay, what 370 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: more we have to do? But that I can't worry 371 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: about because it doesn't align with the feeling of where 372 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: I'm going, the ultimate purpose of my gift and my 373 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: ability and not I can't for one second give any 374 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: energy to the ignorance that I know and acknowledge as ignorance. 375 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: How do you do that? It's not my dance. It 376 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: will slow me down. Once I've done the work and 377 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm in it and I've earned it, I'm gonna go. 378 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: And if I go and it's not there, it doesn't 379 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: work out. That has nothing to do. That means I 380 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: gotta keep going. And in that revelation, once I choose 381 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: to not beat myself down by the world's standards of 382 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: I'm a black woman, I can't possibly be that clear 383 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: that good. I just keep going because there is no 384 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: choice to dance their dance, which stop my rhythm. You 385 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: being as big as you are and having so much 386 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: more than I feel, I honestly feel by just saying, oh, 387 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 1: Lori Anne is a choreographer, a world famous choreographer who 388 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: a creative director. I feel like that's so limiting as 389 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: to who you are. When you walk in the room, 390 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: you feel big. When you sit down, you feel big. 391 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: People who are big are often misunderstood. What's the biggest 392 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: misunderstanding about Laurie Gibson? I want to cry. Um. I 393 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: think that the biggest um. I think it's more or 394 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: less misunderstanding about who I really am and the elements 395 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: of that and the effects of that. But this, this 396 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: is part of me taking that strategy, you know, being 397 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: able to understand how to educate people with opportunities like 398 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: this rather than allowing it to define my rhythm. You know, 399 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: now I understand that I gotta dance, Okay, so let 400 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: me dance this dance. Thank you to Brittany, a visionary 401 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: that understands how to connect me to this masterful, amazing 402 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: woman who's gonna reinvent the show everything she wants to 403 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 1: be simple it's just about taking it step step at 404 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: a time, precept upon precept, dance upon dance. Right. But 405 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: I think what's really misunderstood is that maybe uh, that 406 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: I mean or that I'm crazy. You know, I'm passionate, 407 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: and as a man in this business, your passion is 408 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: just you know, he's you know, you're digmatizes your ability 409 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: to manipulate and lie and oppress. He's genius, he's a businessman. 410 00:26:53,160 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: He's intimidating the entire room, but he's so that is 411 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: just something that's a reality. So anybody that acts like 412 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: gets not that is their interpretation and a manipulation, and 413 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: they're being affected. The truth is that is the truth. 414 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: Are you really sensitive? Meaning do your feelings get hurt, 415 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: you snap out of it. They may happen in an 416 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: instant and then you just move on. You don't let 417 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: that be your dance. Yes, I'm totally sensitive, because I 418 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: would be sensitive to the move of someone else's dream, 419 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: the move of my supersizi move of the creative that 420 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: I'm envisioning. So I'm very sensitive to how that feels 421 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: because most of my work is riveted by how it 422 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: makes you feel. Right, and I want that always to 423 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: be pure. I never just choreograph or dance dance. There's 424 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: always an intention behind it. I want to uplift you, 425 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: fight power paid So I am sensitive. When I was younger, 426 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: did it create massive amounts of insecurities? Meaning I was 427 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: constantly fighting that sensitivity? Yes, I was not sexy enough. 428 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: I talked about it in the book. I was not. 429 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: You know, why can't I just be with the cool kids? 430 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: They always laugh at me, you know, like I was 431 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: always laughed at with all my artists. And the problem 432 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: was I never let it change me. But did it 433 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: hurt me? Yes? Human, And in that hurt I understood 434 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: how to understand it and why was I feeling it? 435 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: Because I was lacking the clarity of why it was 436 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: my superpower? Why was it your superpower? Because I need 437 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: to be that sensitive to everything that's truthful about a 438 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: process when working with creative people vision as a filmmaker, 439 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: as a director, you've got to be sensitive to every 440 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: element because the choice you can make in a moment 441 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: will be what will impact a world to do evil 442 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: or what will impact the world to do good. Mhm, 443 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: it's only two choices. So many questions because yeah, I'm 444 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: thinking about how what you're saying, especially as a black woman, 445 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: is giving life to so many. We are often told 446 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: what we are not, and you explain so eloquently that 447 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: those are our gifts, and they are seen as threatening. 448 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: Our gifts are seen as a threaten. If you don't 449 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: dance their dance, if you don't let it sit in 450 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: your spirit and you take over, you will be able 451 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: to do the work you do. Yeah, it's a It's 452 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: an incredible place where what I thought you should do 453 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: or how you should behave is not at all what's happening. 454 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: And then the fact that I need the knowledge that 455 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: you carry makes me feel some type of way, I'm 456 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: less of who I thought I was. Now you're battle 457 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: someone else's issues. But you do have to learn to 458 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: dance your dance, and that's what that is. And I 459 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: teach you how to dance to a rhythm that will 460 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: get you through it, around it, over it, past it. 461 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: I look at you, and I'm not getting personal, but 462 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: I am getting personal. For queens like us, it's so 463 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: hard to be in a room and really identify our 464 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: king or queen whomever. Is It hard for you to 465 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: find a mate that can receive everything that you give 466 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: and understand it. Yes, I mean that's probably where I 467 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: will cry or shout it. See, I'm just because I 468 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: am a woman. Yeah, I am definitely ah in the 469 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: clarity of I don't fit into the traditional idea of 470 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: what a woman should be or do. Right. I just 471 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: realized and recently got out of a relationship. I'm not 472 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: going to have your food ready in the microwave. I 473 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: might not even like prep meal prep. I have no kids. 474 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: My dreams are my my children. I do have a dog, 475 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: and I have amazing nephews, but I don't personally have 476 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: any children. I don't feel bad about that. You know, 477 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,959 Speaker 1: God has given me what I need to endure. Uh 478 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I'm curious to find out who that 479 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: is and who that could be. I've had a couple 480 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: of loves, you know, definitely a couple of loves, and 481 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: now I'm dating a younger guy, which is kind of 482 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: amazing and exciting. But I also understand what not to 483 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: expect or how not to um have any expectations from 484 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: that in the department of do more than I need 485 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: to do. But it's hard. I mean, you know, most 486 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: men think they're gonna come home with me and I'm 487 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: gonna be like five six. Then they said down five seven. 488 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: They eat now. And when I come out of the 489 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: pink elephant suit, I have pink hair, but that's what 490 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: I call it. I'm actually quite quiet and demure, so 491 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: that then scaled them. Listen. I was like, you're not 492 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: about to get the TV lady to talk sports. I don't. 493 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you what stats are today. Okay, that's 494 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: not what I'm doing. I find it so difficult, not difficult. 495 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm not even putting that in my spirit. I do 496 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: know that when we have an image and we date, 497 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: it's difficult. I mean it's difficult to be the strong 498 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: queens we are. Have you mastered that? Or do you 499 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: want to be married? Do you want to eventually have 500 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: a soul made forever partner? Don't need a title, but 501 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: do you want that? Is that what your heart desires? 502 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: I don't want it by the standards of how they 503 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: tell me I'm supposed to have it. I want to 504 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: rule and inspire and dominate the way I'm meant to reign. 505 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: And I do understand the man that will understand the 506 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: purpose in my being will understand how to war with me. 507 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: And he's obviously a very strong, confident individual, and we 508 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: call them kings, but they are purpose driven men that 509 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: understand how to stand beside ah, a person that is 510 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily living their life by a self absorbed design um. 511 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: And I also know that I am quite capable of 512 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: being independent and that doesn't scare me because there is 513 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: no shortage of gorgeous hot young men that intimately I 514 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: can receive what I need. Yeah, go ahead and talk 515 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, intimately get my socks blown off, and 516 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: that opens up what I need and gives me the 517 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: confidence to go, uh huh, do what I'm here to do. 518 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,479 Speaker 1: And he's amazing. So I don't know why I got 519 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: to carry someone's out his load and be heavy when 520 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: I can intimately in and intimately what it was intimately 521 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: a yes, what I need to be who I am. 522 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: So I have understood that about me. Do am I 523 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: telling anybody else to do it? No? But I'm inspiring 524 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: people out of that confusion where all I can't find 525 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: a man strong enough. You are strong enough. You are 526 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: part of a generation that's here to shift the narrative. 527 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: We're not supposed to change our dance. We're the generation 528 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: that's shifting the idea of the limitations that the world 529 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: has put on black women. So we're gonna look different. 530 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: We might not have the baby carriage, the ring the night. 531 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: We might not We might be sitting eye to eye 532 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: with every type of men right and having our intimate 533 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: life neatly typed at home where it should be or 534 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: where it needs to operate. But we don't have to 535 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: bring our man out. You know, you don't need to 536 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: know what I do intimately, and you will not know 537 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: because I don't be telling thery. It's my business. Go ahead, 538 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: go And it has nothing to do with your purpose, 539 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: but it is and it is beautiful and it is amazing, 540 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: and those closest to you will get to partake in 541 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: who you are intimately. But if your purpose is about 542 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: driving something forward, then it's okay to identify with what 543 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know, I have a confession. Yes, I hate, 544 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: not even hate. I don't hate. Let me take that back. 545 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: I don't like when people ask me about my personal 546 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: life because it almost feels as if because of who 547 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: I am, I'm supposed to have a man like, how 548 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: are you all of this without this? Something's wrong with you? 549 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: Listening to you talk about where you are makes me 550 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: feel and I truly believe you are comfortable with or without. Yes, 551 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: we want somebody, but if if that's not the case, 552 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't define me. I'm still battling with answering that 553 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: question because it shouldn't make me feel any type of way. 554 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: And I know many of my friends in the same position, 555 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: mighty strong, moving, feel some type of way like that's 556 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: the one area they wish that they could figure out. 557 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: What is your advice or how have you gotten to 558 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: the point where you're comfortable. Look, I talked about I 559 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: talked about finding your team, finding your tribe. You cannot 560 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: be friends with the women that are like girl, I 561 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm scared to go out the door. My name is 562 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: defined by someone else's name. My worth is in the 563 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: man that I'm dating, My financial situation is in the 564 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: man that I'm dating. That is all good for out. 565 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: But as gorgeous and confident, as ridiculously amazing as you are, 566 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: it's not that we're good without them, because that's obvious. 567 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: It's that we're good period. We're great, period. Open yourself 568 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: to what do I need intimately at what time? It 569 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be forever. It doesn't have to fit 570 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: into this version of someone else's design or dance. You 571 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,439 Speaker 1: have to get into the knowledge of just how great 572 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: you are and received that and understand that what you 573 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: need intimately as a woman does not come in the 574 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: package where it's processed like everybody else's version. And it's 575 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: not that it can't be a multi Balti billionaire, trillionaire 576 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: on islands. You probably need someone who's as focused as you. 577 00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: But what people do is not who they are. People 578 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: do is not who they are. But more importantly, what 579 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: I receive is that I'm good with or without, and 580 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: I have to be content with a little and a lot. 581 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: That was this food from my soul. I had to 582 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 1: ask that a question, because of course, I'm sure people 583 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: will get you and think, what's going on with you personally? 584 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: Why do we do that? Why do we look at 585 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: somebody as big as you are and as accomplished as 586 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: you are and ask you about your personal life? What 587 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,320 Speaker 1: do you think that's about. I think it's a search 588 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: for camaraderie, identifiability. Uh. There's a natural, innate instinct to 589 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 1: receive inspiration from each other. But man has just twisted 590 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: that thing and turned it into jealousy or envy, or 591 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: I can't get that or I don't look like that, 592 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: because there in lies the power of everything else. Right, 593 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: what we're selling, what we're not selling, the knowledge of self, 594 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,720 Speaker 1: the lack of fulfillment. Oh there's not room enough for everyone. 595 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: Oh I'm here and you're not. It's that oppressive mentality 596 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: that obviously we could go deeper. We don't have you, 597 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: but if not, if we're guys, you've got to choose 598 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: to shift that and override the system. You've got to 599 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: reprogram your own algorithm. It makes so much sense to 600 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: me why this is the first time I've ever met you, 601 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: but of course I've watched you and then we have 602 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: a few connections like no, of no, of no. But 603 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: it makes so much sense to me now that I've 604 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: talked to you and I see you. Why your career 605 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: has been what it has been in terms of its longevity. 606 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 1: There is a inedibility for you to redefine, pivot, figure 607 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,439 Speaker 1: it out, move forward, and that gives you that longevity. 608 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: Looking ahead, what else is for you? What's next for you? 609 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: What do you see happening or what would you want 610 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: to happen career for you? Career wise, I mean, I'm 611 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 1: so excited about having ownership and obviously it's so I've 612 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: sold uh two television shows that are dance based, and 613 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: it's so excited about having the ability to exercise myself 614 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: at my full capacity as a creative visionary, UM and 615 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: impact those collaborations with obviously film directing great some great 616 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: new artists I've excited about coming out.

It's always 649 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: a blessing when someone can actually take their platform, learn 650 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: lessons from that platform, become more with that platform, and 651 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 1: then turn around and share it with the world because 652 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: of that platform. To me, that is the wind for 653 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:23,959 Speaker 1: all of us here, which is why you guys should 654 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: go out and get her book. Lori Anne, thank you 655 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: for taking the time, uh to talk to me, to 656 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: give me a little more understanding, to help me dance 657 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: my own dance, and stop and more importantly, stop telling 658 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: me people. God can't tell me I can't dance because 659 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: Lorianne said I can. Don't listen to that narrative. Change 660 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: the narrative. So many gems. I literally hope you guys 661 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: had a pen and paper, and if not, go back 662 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: and listen to this while you're working out or while 663 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: you're driving home or whatever the heck you're doing.

Last week on when 669 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: on Roy's podcast Worrywood Jr. I couldn't really describe it 670 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: because I was a heavy podcast, but I want to 671 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,439 Speaker 1: get into it.
