WEBVTT - S06E11 - S6 Season Finale.... Final Goodbye (?!)

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think there's a love letter to you, Amanda,

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>that I get to do this with you, that you

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>see me in all my parts and allow me to

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>express myself.

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 2>We say no one responded, but obviously at that time

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 2>what had we done, our stamp of our work wasn't

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 2>that obvious. But now it's lovely to see the podcast

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 2>speak for itself. Tears Child, just like the red on

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 2>this look. Yeah, we're glad.

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 3>We're bleeding her pleading. We know we have left this

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 3>our hearts on the table.

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm always always be careful those.

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Hi.

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm Amanda and I'm Rumby. Welcome to its Layered podcast.

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>We are under the Black Past Network, powered by iHeart,

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and we have just complete did recording a.

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Studio season six. Can you believe it always come back?

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Can I believe it? I don't think so.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>This has been such a bumper season, not only having

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:17.919
<v Speaker 2>room be here in person, but also, like I distinctly

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 2>remember our first season, we put out all these like okay,

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>we wanna we want to celebrate Zimbab we're in creatives

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>or people of color creatives, and we didn't get many

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>responses back.

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 3>And audious was our very first guest.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember that.

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 3>I remember that.

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 2>So to go from one to six guests for this

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 2>season especially amazing.

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Truly honored, honestly for like by every single guest that

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>took their time to be here with us. I think,

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes when you're doing something and you're in

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the trenches, you just don't see, like you know what

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you are doing or how far you've come. And I

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>think this has been a great reminder that if you

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>put in the work and you respect what you do

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and respect others as you do it, you know, it

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>can really come full circle and growth.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like I mean, we say, no one responded, but

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>obviously at that time, what had we done, you know,

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>our stamp of our work wasn't that obvious. But now

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>it's lovely to see the podcast speak for itself.

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, for sure, it's.

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Such a beautiful journey. And I'm so glad I get

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 2>to deal with UR and B and look at us now.

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I know, so so so grateful. It was definitely not

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>easy doing all of this. A mannequin teste their tears child,

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>just like that red one.

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 3>This look.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're we're bleeding pleading, but they're read on. This

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>logo is also a love letter to Black Women. We

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>had this beautiful setup done by Pink Lady Picnics, when

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>this beautiful black owned studio, Bidtersweet Studio. All of it

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>is just to celebrate and elevate black women. Obviously a

0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of our guests were women, and then we had

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>a black men as well, just also show that side

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>of things and how they can also support us. But

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>in essence, we just want to lean into our soft

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 2>go era.

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 2>We want to lean into getting out of survival mode,

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 2>which I think a lot of us get stuck in

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is like our prayer for if

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you're listening, if you're watching, that you can find softness somewhere,

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>a safe space to land. You know, this has been

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>an incredible way. We ended off the year at the

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Beyond the Valley Festival, our first live podcast Amanda, Like

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>it's insane.

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 3>I think we were just pinching ourselves the whole time

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 3>doing the thing.

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like you know what they call the talent and

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>we're like, oh right, we're the talent.

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I kept yeah, yeah, and like having to relax and

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 2>know that we're not the ones. We have to set

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>it all up and do everything there to support us,

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>especially as black women.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 3>True, it was amazing.

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>It was an amazing I wouldn't have wanted to do it,

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I said it. I got emotional there. I couldn't I

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>couldn't have done it without you. I couldn't have done.

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 3>All this or I don't know.

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting emotional anyway now. But I'm so grateful for

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>this journey we've been on. I think it was just

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>a dream and a hope. I don't think we knew

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>what we were doing when we kick started this podcast.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we knew where it would take us.

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we knew truly, and we just followed that.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>And there have been so many times that we thought,

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe now is the time to throw in the towel,

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's too much, we can't continue and go on,

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>thank you, but we've always just looked at each other

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and said, like, do we have a little more fight

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>in us? And I'm just so grateful for friendship. And

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a love letter to you, Amanda, that

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I get to do this with you, that you see

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>me in all my parts and allow me to express myself,

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and we have this space where we can be ourselves,

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>our creative selves and do what we love.

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 3>So thank you for that. Thank you for all the

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 3>wonderful experience.

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Right I think when I I was just like, what

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.479
<v Speaker 2>are we actually even doing? And even when you see

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>us doing our little TikTok, so are real or please

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>know that all of it is an intent of sharing

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and loving this moment in time, not only as friends,

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 2>but as black women, as black creatives and Rimby could

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.400
