But this current crisis, global pandemic 20 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: that we're living in has shifted my gears a bit. 21 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: How are you doing during this quarantine time.

First of all, I just wanted 27 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: to say that I do feel a blessed that I'm 28 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: still working. I'm still getting up paytack. It might not 29 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: be what it would be if we were still doing 30 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: it sourcemans and still out, you know, getting our fuckings, 31 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: but I'm grateful and blessed to feel like I have 32 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: my finances in order so that even if I weren't, 33 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have to be stressed. In January, I paid 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: off my mortgage on my house that I live in. Wow, congratulations, 35 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: thank you. And it was something that people were like, 36 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: don't do it. And I just really feel like, when 37 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: it comes to certain things, you have to do what 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: your heart is telling you to do. And I'm the 39 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: type of person I hate owing money right Like, I'm 40 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: this type of person. I will zero out my bank 41 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: account to like pay off my credit card bills. And 42 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: when I paid off my student loan death early like 43 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: things like that. It just bothers me having those bills 44 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: every month. Because the mortgage was something that I was like, Okay, 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: I want to pay this off, and I made it 46 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: a goal on for my birthday in January. I paid 47 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: it off, and so at a time like this, you know, 48 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: I am grateful that I did that because that's just 49 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: one less thing for me to have to worry about. 50 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: And I know how I am, and so I think 51 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: just knowing how you are when it comes to your 52 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: finances and things that bother you. Some people I say 53 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't as my decision, you know, but for me, 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: I just feel peaceful about the fact that I've done that. 55 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: So and I have a two family house, so no 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: matter what, I also coming in even though I told 57 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: my tenant she doesn't have to pay, and I'm glad 58 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: to be able to do that to say, Okay, it's 59 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: not like I have this more detainment that I have 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: to make that I'm concerned about, So don't you worry 61 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: about it while you're not getting paid right now, that 62 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter. So I'm just feeling blessed I'm able 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: to do that. You know, we do have the duce 64 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: fire that you've been to. Yes, I'm mac Mexic Fueliviruses 65 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: for Life and that's still I've been running right now, 66 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: and I think that's doing a lot of good for 67 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: the community to people are being able to come in 68 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: get their first uses, get their immune systems nice and strong. 69 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: So we're still doing our show from home also every morning, 70 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: so everybody's set up in their own individual houses. I 71 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: think we're vote to be trying to figure out how 72 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: they can put that on TV to get us back. 73 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: I've been running on television also, so everybody's trying to 74 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: figure things out right now. I think that that's incredible, 75 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: specifically around your finances and the decision you made to 76 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: pay off your mortgage. I think that what we're all 77 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: realizing now in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic is 78 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: just how financially unstable a majority of people actually are. 79 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: And how you know, folks are a majority seventy five percent. 80 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: Really four hundred dollar bill comes due, most people can't 81 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: pay that, and so it's really important to be very thoughtful. 82 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: I think about how you handle your money, what you 83 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: do with your money, and unfortunately, this is one of 84 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: those times that are illuminating for a lot of us, 85 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: myself included how we need to make better moves in 86 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: our life. And so with that set, I do want 87 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: to talk a bit about your entrepreneurship. Black women are 88 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: opening businesses at higher rates than any other group of people. 89 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: We know also that right now, in the midst of 90 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: this crisis, that many small businesses are going to be hit. 91 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: How did you before, you know, let's go to the 92 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: time the land before the crisis, and how did you 93 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: get into becoming an entrepreneur And why was drink fresh 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: juice and juices for life? Why was that a venue 95 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: that you wanted to get invested in. Well, I'm gonna 96 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: be honest, like and just to go back to what 97 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier, I definitely was one of 98 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: those people that if I didn't get my PAYCHEX this week, 99 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: it would have been an issue for me, like I 100 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't know how I would be able to pay my bills. 101 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: So I've definitely, you know, for years, been in that position. 102 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: So it was always something that had me worried and nervous, 103 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: But I also knew I had to take some type 104 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: of action when it came to that, and I think 105 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: I've always been a multitasker. I've always had multiple stings 106 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: of income, even when I first had my first job, 107 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: Like I wasn't making a lot of money when I 108 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: first graduated from college at my first job, But what 109 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: I did do on the side was I could always write, 110 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: So I was writing bios as an artist, getting text 111 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: on that, I was assisting on events. It was a 112 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: lot of different things that I would always doing because 113 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to have those multiple streams of income. And 114 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't anything that I did consciously. It's just who 115 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: I was. I've always been, Okay, what else can I 116 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: do to make some money and to get some experience 117 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: at the same time in the field that I'm interested in. 118 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: So that was something that's always been like top of 119 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: mind to me, even when I got laid off from 120 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: a job. I got fired from a job and I 121 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: was basically freelancing after that, and I would have multiple 122 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: clients at a time, and I was just doing it 123 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: because I could. It was no rhyme or reason for it. 124 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: But I think as you start to finally make some 125 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: money and be able to put some money in them, 126 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: you have to realize, Okay, what else can I do 127 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: with that money that I care about that interests me, 128 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: but that could also potentially turn a profit for me 129 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: at some point. So the first thing I wanted to 130 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: do was I thought about what I thought like I needed, 131 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: and I would be in bedside where I live now, 132 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: and I'm from Brooklyn, and it was hard for me 133 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: to find patience to go and get like a juce 134 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: or a smovie on the weekend, also running in the park, 135 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: and I'm like, where can I get this? And you 136 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: can always go to like you know, certain change places, 137 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: but they weren't necessarily the best juices for you, as 138 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: I came to learn, you know how you read those 139 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: articles and you're like, there's this many calories in this dream. Yeah, 140 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, just because you're getting that strawberry banana 141 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: smoovie that you're doing the right thing. But then you're 142 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: not realizing, Okay, they're adding honey, or they're frozen strawberries 143 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: that are pure rage, or they're not necessarily that healthy 144 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: for you, and so you have to realize what you 145 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: really are putting into your body. And that was the 146 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: thing I felt like, I wasn't that execated on that 147 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: curse so I knew a lot of other people weren't 148 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: aware either. So I decided I wanted to open the 149 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: juice bar in Brooklyn. And the first thing I thought 150 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: about was Style Key and Data Kiss. I knew they 151 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: had their juice bars and Yonkers and the Lebronx. So 152 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: I hit up styalve Kea, you know, ran up on 153 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: him at his video shoot and I was like, look, 154 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: I want to do this in Brooklyn and he was like, 155 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: all right, bet Like, but find a location and get 156 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: back to me. And I also went to to go 157 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: to the juice fires that I already have and sit 158 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: there and see how it operates. Understand that this is 159 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: not something I do to make money. This is something 160 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: I do because it's for the community. And that's exactly 161 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do Karen Brooklyn. I thought it 162 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: would be the perfect way to do something. And I 163 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: like to partnership aspect. I'm the type of person who 164 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: I know my limitations. Like, I know I'm a busy person. 165 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to be able to do 166 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: everything on my own, and I'm really big going Okay, 167 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: I know I can't do all this on my own. 168 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: Let me find somebody who has successfully done this, and 169 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: then let's link up so I can partner with you 170 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: make your brand stronger, and create my brands and then 171 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: educate myself. And I think it gives you like less 172 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: of a chance to failure. I'm always trying to figure 173 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: out how to do things and lessen the chances that 174 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: it'll fail. I mean, I love this one. I love 175 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: the idea of working in community. That's something that has 176 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: always been incredibly important to me is how do you 177 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: look at the community that you're in, the neighborhoods that 178 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: you traverse all of the time, and say, what do 179 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: these people need right? And how are they being overlooked? 180 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: And I think that particularly when you go to black neighborhoods, 181 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: black and brown neighborhoods, you find that you know, no, 182 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: there is not healthy food that is readily available. There 183 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: is not the juice bar that is readily available, the 184 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: salad place. And so I think that particularly making those 185 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: type of investments that are not just financial but also 186 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: about our wellness, right, because what we are learning now, 187 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: particularly in the midst of this virus, is just how 188 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: important your health actually is. Right, that the kids that 189 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: from an early age too, Because I think about like 190 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: all the happy emails I had growing up, and I 191 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: ate so much fast food and that was all I wanted. 192 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: And now when I can see kids that want to 193 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: come to the juice bar that are like, they know 194 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: what they want to order as soon as they walk in, 195 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: and their parents are really excited about that, you know, 196 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: that means a lot because I didn't have that option 197 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: growing up. I didn't have a juice bar or someplace 198 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: that I could go and get something healthy. I was 199 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: know always I was a big bad food kid, and 200 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: soda and everything that was you know what, I high 201 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: sea fruit kinds and because it's cheap and it's delicious, right, 202 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: so that's what you're not nutritious. But yeah, and I 203 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: really like when you start drinking certain things, you realize 204 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: if you ever try to have it again, like, oh, 205 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: what was I doing right? Right? If you try to 206 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: have that high sea punch today, I guarantee you wouldn't 207 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: be able to get it down. And you're like, what 208 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: was I thinking? No? But I do. I do believe 209 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: that health, especially now a days, we have to really 210 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: understand that health really is wealth and that if you 211 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: can keep yourself physically fit mentally fit, emotionally fit, it 212 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: will go a long way into serving you. So I 213 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: think that the work that you have done and kind 214 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: of the parlaying of your career, because I also am 215 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: somebody who has consistently moved in and out of traditional 216 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: work right where I left communications firms because I wanted 217 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: to pursue my own passions, my own drive, and you 218 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: know understanding that there is risk in doing that, absolutely right, 219 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: So how did you like you know you have moved 220 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: from different spaces and taken different risks, and for women 221 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: and for women of color, we don't normally get to 222 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: make those moves right because we recognize how quickly the 223 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: rug can be pulled out from under you. So how 224 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: were you able to kind of navigate and negotiate the 225 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: paths and the career that you have had in media 226 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: and as an entrepreneur and as a businesswoman. One thing 227 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: that I had to learn how to do super early 228 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: on was to make myself comfortable with the idea that 229 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: even if something happens with this particular job or this consultancy, 230 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: whatever it is that I have going on, that I'll 231 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: always be okay. Because I feel like I've always helped 232 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: myself to a standard where people when they talk about 233 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: to when you're not in the room, they'll be like, oh, 234 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: Angela was great to work with that point. She really 235 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: handled her responsibilities and it takes a while, like when 236 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: you're first getting started. I was missed, you know, go 237 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: above and beyond for everything. Worked seven days a week, 238 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, first person in the office, last person to leave, 239 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: always pleasant to deal with, honest, keep everything on the 240 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: table that it was that I had going on, and 241 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: I made sure that whatever opportunities I had that I 242 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: felt would be beneficial for my career. It wasn't about 243 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: the money. It was always about the experience at first, 244 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: you know. So I do some comfortople knowing that no 245 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: matter what state I'm in, if this can work out, 246 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: I'll always be okay because there'll always be somebody that 247 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: wants to give me a check somewhere because of the 248 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: lane that I created myself, the reputation that I have 249 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: for my work, and even when things happened like that 250 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: might not be so flattering for me that I feel 251 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: like I don't even have to overly explain myself because 252 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: if people that know me behind the scenes are like, nah, 253 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: I know Angela better than that. And so I've had 254 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: too many people hit me up on different occasions, like 255 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, they have your back because they know your 256 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: work afing say, know your personality, didn't know what you're liking. 257 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: That's important because you could be on top today and 258 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: the ruking, like you said, definitely gets pulled out from 259 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: under you. And that's a lot of that has to 260 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: do with how you treat people. You know, it's one 261 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: thing to do a great job, and if you treat 262 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: people like shit, you know that great job is like 263 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: as soon as something unfortunately happens and people don't have 264 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: to deal with you anymore, they won't. And I think 265 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: it's important to note that, like have a good attitude 266 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: about things. People well, even if you don't feel like 267 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: they can do something for you. Just be a real 268 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: person and people appreciate that. You never know who is 269 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: working in the mail room today, and I'll be to 270 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: come up. Yeah. I used to say that all the 271 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: time I lived before I moved back to New York. 272 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: I'm originally from Long Island, but before I moved back 273 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: to New York and moved to Brooklyn, I was living 274 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. For fifteen somebody years and so 275 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 1: one of the things that I would say is that, like, 276 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: don't treat the interns like shit, because this is a 277 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: city that that intern next year can turn around and 278 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: be your boss, right, Just like you have to understand 279 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: that what you put out you will get back. And 280 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: so while we may like to watch movies like the 281 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: Devil Wares product and we see people, you know, being 282 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: that hard ass boss, that that's not actually the way 283 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: that the real world works for many of us, right, 284 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: and the universe rewards that in kind. So if you 285 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: respect people, you put that energy out, then it will 286 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: carry you through. And you know how hard it is 287 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: for us to go high all the time. You know, 288 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: sometimes you do want to be like, Okay, I'm tired 289 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: of always being a person to take the you know, 290 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: to take the high roads. Yeah, I'm the biggest person, 291 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, like nothing worse than when you 292 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: do something in response to somebody else. Then I stop 293 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: feeling like, Wow, this person really control my reaction and 294 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: made me do something that was out of character for me, 295 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: and I never want to do that. I think, you know, 296 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: one of the best things that you have to learn 297 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: in this business, especially as a woman, when people do 298 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: you wrong. Is to know that A, if they do 299 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: that to you, eventually something will come back to them 300 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: because and that means that they're not of your person. 301 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: So they're doing things to you that are full, and 302 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: they're doing things to you that to hurt too. But 303 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: to know that, okay, if they're doing it to me, 304 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: they're doing it to other people also, So yes, you're right, 305 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: the universe will take care of that person and then 306 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: to keep on going. Sometimes we get so discouraged when 307 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: things don't happen the way that we want them to. 308 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: When we have a really particularly bad day, we get 309 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: laid off, we get fired, we get misunderstood, we get 310 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: miss tweeted, be get tweeted on. Fairly all of those 311 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: things will definitely happen, and it's really just what you 312 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: decide to do, because I never want to let myself 313 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: feel like somebody defeated me. I hear you, I hear 314 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: you one hundred percent.

But you know, there are things 336 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: that I think we're taught to not express ourselves, and 337 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: I definitely was programmed that way, like you just have 338 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: to kind of like not express yourself, not get mad, 339 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: not get offended, have this really tough exterior, not say okay. 340 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: That really bothered me, you know, then they're like, oh, 341 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: she's so sensitive. It's just everything is kind of like you. 342 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: It's such a boys club. And that's how I actually 343 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: ended up creating that my podcast, you know, list service, 344 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: just to kind of go against that boys club of Okay, 345 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: this is not what girls are supposed to talk about. 346 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: This is not what girls are supposed to do. And 347 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: that's what made me want to do it, because I 348 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: was like, I'm so tired of having to be the 349 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: only girl in the room, be outnumbered all the time, 350 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: never have anybody on my side. And I was like, 351 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm about to create an environment where it's women running 352 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: things and the guys aren't going to have anybody on 353 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: your side. And that's really how it even started, just 354 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: to me wanting to create that space. I love it, 355 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: and I think that you know, women, we need our 356 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: own spaces, right, We need places where we don't have 357 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: to feel like we have to have sharp elbows to 358 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: move people to hell out of our way all the time, right, 359 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: because you know, it is exhausting, And I'm thinking, you know, 360 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: to create, you need to have space. You need to 361 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: have a clear mind. You don't need to feel like 362 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: you're constantly on the defensive, and they're certain to situations 363 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: that will set you up that way. So alt like, 364 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: even on the air, sometimes people don't know what goes 365 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: on behind the scene. They don't know what struggles but 366 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: battles you're having. They know that if you get on 367 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: the air and you disagree with your male co host, 368 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, he takes everything so seriously, she's no fun, 369 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: she's no event, she's nov And it's like, y'all don't 370 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: know what it's like every single day that has to 371 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: deal with it. M So talk to me about the 372 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: transition that you made in leaving serious s exam and 373 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: going to our Heart and then finding your way to 374 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: one of the most badass morning shows, the Breakfast Club. 375 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: So when I was as serious, I had all kinds 376 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: of issues then, you know, being are to us the 377 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: work there. I'm sure you know, but it would Carl, 378 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: I'll tell you another time. All other time run by 379 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: white men come on you know platform. So it was 380 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: definitely difficult for me with many of the things that 381 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: I had to experience. And I remember when I did 382 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: my exit interview, I was like, okay, because if you 383 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: do this interview when you leave, just to kind of 384 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: like voice your opinion. I don't know if it really matters, 385 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: but I definitely was very honest and I was telling them. 386 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: I was like, look, y'all, don't pay attention to anything 387 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: that's going on in the hip hop community. And right now, 388 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: Kanye and Nicki the Nas have number one or two 389 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: albums on the chart, and I don't understand why money 390 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: is not invested into this station or the other hipop stations. 391 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: And you guys are doing we just rock festivals and 392 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: like crazy things like that, and I'm like, you know, 393 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: you spend money and all these things, but there's a 394 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: lot of energy, like we should have been at super 395 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: Bowl weekend. We should have done this, we should have 396 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: been it like those things really just cross and overlapping 397 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: to really help us out by spending its little money. 398 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: And we have these platforms because you could press promote, 399 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: but two guys don't promote these stations. So I was 400 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: just I was very happy to leave when I left, 401 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: And I remember when I was leaving, you know, at 402 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: the time, the person who was not direct supervisor was like, Oh, 403 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: you're gonna go to you know, TERRESTI your radio and 404 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: you'll go there and you're not going to ever be 405 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: able to talk like you are on Serious and then 406 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: all those shows they never laugh and you guys are 407 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna get laid off and it's not safe. It's not 408 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: just here, not a stable place. But I just felt 409 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: like it was time, you know, I knew I had 410 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: plateau that serious. I have been there for six years. 411 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 1: They didn't really treat me particularly well. And I will 412 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: say this too, even when at your job you feel 413 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: like they're not scared to you, it's so important for 414 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: you to represent yourself well anyway, because if I would 415 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 1: have just been you know, lack of days it's all 416 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: about coming to work and not really cared, it would 417 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: have showed and people won't know, oh she's just mad 418 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: about her bosses. They'll be thinking she's just not good 419 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: at her job, you know. So it was really important 420 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: that I still represented myself well. And I had a 421 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: lot of people offering me different positions at other stations. 422 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: I didn't know anybody in FM radio, so people were 423 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: like putting me on Facebook and contacting me to other people, 424 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: just really trying to recruit me to come and work, 425 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, at different stations. So one of the ones 426 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: that hit me up was Power one on five and 427 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: I was leaving a meeting to do mornings in Philly 428 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: and they were offering me my own show and Philly 429 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: that would be my show. They were like, we're going 430 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: to change the name of the station, so one hundred 431 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: point ye, like they were really going in yeah, And 432 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: I was going to my cart And that's when the 433 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: program director at Power one of five at the time 434 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: called me, and Offen was like, listen, there might be 435 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: a position available here for you. So we just wanted 436 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: to gage your entrance. So I had to turn down 437 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: the job in Philly, and I had to hope that 438 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: the job in New York would work out in order 439 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: for me to do that, and took a few months, 440 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: but it did. Wow, that was a gamble. It was 441 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: a good one, definitely, it was a gamble. But that 442 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: was definitely a gamble. And so now the Breakfast Club 443 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: has been around for how long? How many years? It'll 444 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: be ten years this year. Wow, So ten years you 445 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: all have I mean, fortified your importance in Stone. You've 446 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: become a force for in what I like to see 447 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: as political good. I have always believed that we need 448 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: more shows and more people that can operate at the 449 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: intersection of pop culture and politics and be able to 450 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: ask the questions that regular folks want to know, and 451 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: to be able to humanize or at least attempt to 452 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: in places, humanize politicians so that people understand that their 453 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: representatives really should rep them right and that their folks 454 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: really should be reliant on their constituencies. And I feel 455 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: like you all have been able to do that. Was 456 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: there a specific time and space where you guys, you know, 457 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God, you're a co host, where 458 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: you collectively decided we're going to make this foray into 459 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: politics in a real way or was it just a 460 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: natural evolution of the show and the regular news that 461 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: you guys cover and talk about on the daily basis. 462 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: I think it was an organic evolution the way that 463 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: it happened, because we never had a conversation like we're 464 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: gonna start, you know, doing this. What really happened was 465 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: when Obama was in office, we started paying a lot 466 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: more attention. I think, you know, that was such a 467 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: good deal for everybody to go out and vote, and 468 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: I think it needed us to realize the power that 469 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: we had in getting somebody in office. To everybody's like 470 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: you'll never see a black president, you know, and nobody 471 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: thought that it could happen, so he cared so much 472 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: about that. And then I think with the election where 473 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and when she was running for office, you know, 474 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: it was important to us, but I think we didn't 475 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: realize how many people wouldn't go out and vote. Yeah, 476 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: you know, and I part in bad And then I 477 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: think it makes you pay attention to how people get 478 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: elected to the electoral college and all of those things 479 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: that maybe I never really thought about before that somebody 480 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: could win the popular vote but then still lose, and 481 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: so you know, it's just so many different things going 482 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: on than you set to and about the Russians is 483 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: appairing with the election, and you know, how did this 484 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: end up happening? And as a society, it's disappointing because 485 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: you're like, damn, people really think like this and really 486 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: support a person like Donald TERMP who has these beliefs 487 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: and puts them out there and he can just lie 488 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: about things and make things up, but people still support him. 489 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: And you know, all of those things I think that 490 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: matter chives. I think we paid a lot more attention 491 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: to local politics because we have so many local politicians 492 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: who are shining right now, and a lot more women, 493 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: younger people, you know, people of color. All those things 494 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: really matter. Like to see you know, the first openly 495 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: gay person, the first whatever, and it's like, wow, this 496 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: is you know, twenty twenty, and it's a first for 497 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: so many different things. And so I think it has 498 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: been amazing to see locally how people have really come 499 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: together and supported local politics and pay more attention. But 500 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: we need to really amplify that even more. I mean, 501 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: I love it and I appreciate it so much because again, 502 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: as a student of politics and somebody who really believes 503 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: in not mincing your words when it comes to understanding 504 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: your power, I think that people always stay away from 505 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: politics because they feel like it has nothing to do 506 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: with them. And I am always of the mindset, no, no, no, 507 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: it has everything to do with you. It has everything 508 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: to do with how you're putting food on your table, 509 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: how you aren't able to be ensured for your health 510 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: and well being, what schools your kids go to. All 511 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: of these things matter. But you have power, and you 512 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: have more power than you know. And so when people 513 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: choose to opt out, I'm like, you're choosing to just 514 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 1: give up your power to somebody else, and you would 515 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: never do that. You would never say, oh, hey, neighbor, 516 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: you know a lot more than I do, so I'm 517 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: going to let you make the decisions about my life 518 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: rather than be making the conscious decisions. But that's what 519 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: you do. When you decide not to vote, you're telling 520 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: somebody else that they're smarter and more in tune than 521 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: you are. And so I don't have to do the work. 522 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: And then there's so much misinformation out there, Like even 523 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: right now, people are not feeling out your extensive forms, 524 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: and you know, they're like, oh, I don't want to 525 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: do that because that information for this and for that, 526 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: And it's like, but yeah, you're also not going to 527 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 1: get the money that you need, you know, in your 528 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: zone where you van, because you didn't fill out this 529 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: census for them. And it's just I think so many 530 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: ways that they try to prevent you from having the 531 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: right that you should have because they try to tell 532 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: you that it doesn't matter, or that it's a negative thing. 533 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: If you do this, then this is going to happen, 534 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: you know. So it's just really difficult right now. I 535 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: think even if you're looking at people are already saying, oh, 536 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: Donald comps gonna win anyway, so it doesn't matter, and 537 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: that's gonna make people not go out and vote, or 538 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: real are really downing like who we have as far 539 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: as whoever it's going to be representing the Democrat and 540 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: going against Donald Tump. You know, it's difficult because do 541 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: I feel like we have a super strong candidate right now? 542 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: You know, not necessarily. I mean, all you have to 543 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 1: do is have eyes to realize that. But I mean, 544 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: but it's who we have. But I want to be 545 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: like so like how we were for Obama and we 546 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: got out there and we were excited, you know what 547 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean. And it's just sometimes it's just I guess 548 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: people always would tell you like, oh, you can't just 549 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: vote for somebody because it's not Donal account but you 550 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: kind of can. No, you absolutely can. And I and 551 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: I continue to say that. You know, in this particular election, 552 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: what is going to lead people to the polls is 553 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: not their love of a candidate. You get that once 554 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: in a lifetime if you're lucky, and for those of 555 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: us that were fortunate enough to be of age and 556 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: experience the Obama White House in a very real way, 557 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: you get that once in a lifetime. What I think 558 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: should drive people to the polls this time is that 559 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: you don't want a racist, misogynist piece of garbage who 560 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: is not bright leading you through a pandemic. And you 561 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: need to make better decisions and understand that elections have consequences. 562 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: And part of the consequence of that is being in 563 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: a position that we're in currently, which is with somebody 564 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,719 Speaker 1: who didn't take the necessary action in order to keep 565 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: Americans safe, right because he decided that it was a hoax. 566 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: Coronavirus as a hoax. So and he'll be like, I 567 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: didn't say that, we have run the tape. Run the tape, sir, 568 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: play the tape in the back. So where do you 569 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: see yourself going in the future. I know the future 570 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: is depending on what day I'm asking folks, is brighter 571 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: or bleaker than other days. But what are some of 572 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: the aspirations that you have for yourself in media, for 573 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: other women of color in media, and just as you 574 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: expand your growing empire, where you're setting your sights well, 575 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: definitely want to make sure I keep on expanding the service. 576 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: And so fortunately during this time that's been something that 577 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: I have been able to work on and continue the 578 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: conversation about because I do love that I have it 579 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: so a platform where we can discuss all different kinds 580 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: of things, get more into people of personality, you know, 581 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: and more into intimate details if you can't hear about 582 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: somebody anywhere else. And so that's things great for me 583 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: because it's about not just sex, but relationships and how 584 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: you feel about different things, and your mental and advice 585 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: and all of those things. So I think that does 586 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: matter a lot, and I think people really care about that. 587 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: Another thing that I want to do is I do 588 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: have my drink Press Juice, which we actually had to 589 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 1: reorganize and restrategize on that. That was a completely different 590 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: type of ventor for me, and it was a learning experience. 591 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: But I think we've learned a lot from the initial 592 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: launch and now we're doing a relaunch, so right now 593 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: I have plenty of time to be working on that 594 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: with my partner. So that's something that we've done, and 595 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: we've come back together and actually brought in a couple 596 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: of people who are better at things that we laugh, 597 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: like distribution at the major supermarket and you know, just 598 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: somebody who is going to be like overseeing everything on 599 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: a day to day basis. And you know, for me, 600 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: I aditially started drink press juice as a way to 601 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: get juices everywhere. Like I was telling you earlier, to 602 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: have a first press juice and nothing added to it, 603 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: and then you can have that as a cocktail and 604 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: it's way better. And then our cranberry juice are sugary, 605 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, artificial irone juice and things like that. So 606 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: that was something that I really wanted to do just 607 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: for us to be a little bit healthier, but for 608 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: things to feel taste right. But the business side of 609 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't all the way to gather. So now I 610 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: take that as a learning experience and we go back 611 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: in and we learn what was lacking and then we 612 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: fill in those blinks. So that's what I've been doing 613 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: right now to get ready for our relaunch. And you know, 614 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: sometimes things don't work out in this lead the way 615 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: that you intended to them too, So that was my 616 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: experience so far with drinks fresh juice. So I have that, 617 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: and then of course I've been working on my book 618 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: and now I have plenty of time for that, so 619 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of writing while I'm at 620 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: home and a lot of reading. What are you reading 621 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: right now? Do you have any recommendations for folks that 622 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: are looking for quarantine books? So, Michael Archin know just 623 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: put out a new book I don't want to die for. 624 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh I know, I just interviewed him. Did he actually 625 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: sent me the books? I was excited. I sprayed down 626 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: the package when it came in the middle. Oh good, 627 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: so yeah, so perfect. So I'm reading that book. That's 628 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: the next one that I'm about to read. I'm going 629 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: to start that one today. I'm very into like biographies 630 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: and autobiographies and so I'm not like a super self 631 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: helped book type of person. I'm more into that. I 632 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: have The Best Boys book here, which I've been meaning 633 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: to read because they do have that documentary coming on 634 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: Apple TV. So I did that. I read Diamond Doris recently. 635 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that book, but she 636 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: was a diamond thief but she was really classy about it. 637 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: So I've heard about that. I've heard okay, okay, So 638 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: I read that most recently, Diamond Doris. Yeah, so listen, 639 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: I have a whole bunch of books here of that 640 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: stack on your table. Let me say, you know how 641 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: many bookshelves I have in my house. In my dining room, 642 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: I have like five shelves of books, and I have 643 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: two standing bookshelves in my guest room. I have two 644 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: standing bookshelves in my living room, and then in my 645 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: basement I had bookshelves built down there too because I 646 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: have so many books. But no matter why, I still 647 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: always love to read books like physical copies. And I 648 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: love the way that the books look like pieces of 649 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: art to me, So I love it. Yeah, I think 650 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: it's just a beautiful thing. So I love to have 651 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: the actual books.
