• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I'm I am a plus size model. Um yeah, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: represented by Atra Models, a l A. I just started
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: modeling about a year and a half ago. Um. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I kind of just started posting on Instagram. I got
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: scouted and I love it. So can you talk a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: little bit about Um, I mean, I guess Instagram as
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a tool for you and the way you created your
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: modeling career through it. No, yeah, Um, Instagram was such
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: an important tool for me, not only to begin my career,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: but as like personally, like I learned so much off
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of social media and like, um all these like body
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: positivity like platforms. Right. Um, I definitely got inspired to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: take that challenge onto myself and do that for myself.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You know. So I wanted to start posting pictures of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: my body on Instagram before I was boodle selfie, Like
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I could not take a picture of my body because
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I just was not comfortable, um being photographed. Yeah up,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like nothing like nothing under because yeah, I was just
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: so self conscious. And then I was. I just it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was my first second year of college, for a second
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: year of college, and I was just so tired of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: feeling like that, feeling so insecure, and I was like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna fake it till I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: make it, until I feel good and it works. You know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's really hard to get to that place. But sometimes, yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: literally I had to fake it till I made it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And now like I'm actually living that like positivity that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I always wanted, and yeah, that's what I do on
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: on Instagram. I I really want to share that with
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like my body like people. I mean, I don't really
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: say that many things about body positivity. Um, I do
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: what I when I want to, and um, but just
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: with my images, people like just you just being there,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: like that's inspiring and like, yeah, exactly existing And that's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that's what I love. That's what I love about Instagram.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: That people get to see that and they're like, wait,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I can look like that too, I can dress up
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: like that. I can do that, and yeah, I love it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: We love well, you know, we love Instagram absolutely, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's I think that women are really
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: revolutionizing how people use Instagram, Like I think of the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: people in in our circles, the creatives that we know
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: who are really just like using Instagram for two further
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: their careers from whether there are are mostly more headed yeah, right,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Like especially if we think of like Latino Instagram, Yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: run it, the ladies, ladies, the queers. Yeah. And I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: feel like there's something about like also being vulnerable on Instagram, right,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: because it could be like boodle lamb right one day,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: but then the next day it's like you're having a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: bad day and you share it with people and then
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they're like, you know what, I'm having a bad day too,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: or I went through that. Also, thank you for sharing
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: your journey with us. I know I'm not alone, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that's something that's really powerful. I think about Instagram when
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: folks get to share their vulnerability and so, like, have
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you always wanted to model? Is that something that's newer
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for you actually really knew? I think I started off,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: like on Instagram, wanting to be like an emy way
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you know, okay, em like I M way. But then
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, like this whole fashion thing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I love it because when I was younger, I didn't
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: really get to explore fashion and style because I didn't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: allow myself to do that because of my body, because
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, I can't wear that. I can't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you know, I can't dress a cute. I would just
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: wear like yeah, like really basic things. And then I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was like, no, I want to be cute from head
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to toe. I want to get my I want to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: get dressed up. I want to wear the what the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: skinny girls are wearing. Like I don't want to exclude
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: myself from that, and I want to do it. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: so that was my my mission. My mission was to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: like wear these things that I would see like skinny
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: girls doing, and I'm like, I'm going to do that too.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So like I wouldn't wear shorts, I couldn't wear in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the summer, like I'd be wearing jeans and sweatshirt because
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: like I didn't want to show my body. But um no,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Like I was like, I need to start changing that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So I started challenging myself to wear shorts and then
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to wear crop tops and little things like that. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: then I'm like I'm gonna put like I'm gonna put
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it out there and yeah, so like all these pictures
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: like since the beginning, since I started that, like journey,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: like it's all been documented on Instagram, like all the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: photographs of the clothing that I felt I was like
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: so like scared to wear. Like I was like, I'm
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: just gonna do it all the way. I'm gonna put
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: it out there. So yeah, so Instagram is really like
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: an archive for you. Yeah, it really is. Yeah kind
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of that's amazing. I love that. And I mean speaking
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of your your journey, right, because you're saying about how
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you would challenge yourself to post or to even wear
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: certain things, and then let alone posting it, I'm sure
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: is another thing. Right, And you have this beautiful photo

• 10:39
  Speaker 1: which is like, you know, when you're shopping online, you'll
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: see me there. So I also did um, like their
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: promo videos and things like that. They're commercials. So that

  Speaker 1: was really really awesome. That was really exciting. Yeah, so
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you were in Mexico and you were modeling in Mexico.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I have in your experiences modeling so far, are you
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: meeting a lot of other plus size women of color
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: who are also in the history and we're doing similar
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: work to you? You know what? Um? When I went there, UM,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of wed thos o that line
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't really have that many like poc Um, So I
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was kind of surprised if they like booked me because
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I compared to their other models, they're very very very fair.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But um, I don't know, yeah they booked me, but
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: there was it was just like kids when I was
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: there and they were all like Rubio, So, um, that's interesting.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: But when I'm here, um, in l A, I do
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: tend to see more people of color and like plus
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: plus models as well. Yeah m hm, And how's your family,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Like did your family support the modeling? Is it weird
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: for them? Like you know, my mom, I feel like
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: in the beginning she was like, yeah, I don't know
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: if it's really happening to dover thing And I'm like, mom,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: like do you see me? Like I'm here and she's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like okay. Her friends like yeah, like and I think
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm just going Sometimes our moms are our biggest fans,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: which really I think a big part of radio our
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: mom's right for us cheerleaders. My mom when we had
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: our Army through video that came out, my mom was
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: like the same thing, like how do I like send
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: this to my friends? Like she wanted everybody to see
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: her daughter. You know, so that's amazing. I'm curious about
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: how you because you're a student, yes, how do you
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: balance your modeling career? Y'all? It's hard. It's hard. You know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: school is really hard. I've I've always struggled with school.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna be like wow, you know, so
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you're not. It's hard. Okay, So it's taking a lot
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: of time to you know, figure it out and manage
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: my time. But um, I'm just I just I do
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it because I have to do it, you know, Like
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I want to do both. Like I for a while,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, what if I have to stop school?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But no, like I had to keep going and something
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that I sailed to do and like it's something that's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: so important to me. I worked so hard and like
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: so many few people from where I come from get
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to go to like um universities, and I was like, no,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I had to do this, and then UM modeling just
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: kind of happened, and um, yeah, I had to do both.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I have to finish both. They're both very very important
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to me. What are you studying if you don't mind,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I'm double majoring in Chica. Next studies in Spanish. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: love it. I love what I'm studying. Um, I started
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: off as a comedy, didn't work out, but I think
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: it was it was just meant to be. I I
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: love the field that I'm studying. I think it's amazing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It's just that I think that really connects with my
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: career now as a model, because it really it's what's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: motivating me to create my presence and to make space
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: for myself and for women like me, you know. So
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it's it's so important. It really ties in together. So yeah,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I love it. And I've learned so much like as
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: like a woman, as a woman of color, as that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you've got on. It's just it's like and then's something
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that I never got to learn in high school because
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you know, we don't really get to learn about our
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: people or are like um, especially like Mexican history, like
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Mexicans in like the US, and that I hadn't really
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: heard any of that until I went to you see,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm so glad. I'm so lucky that I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got to have the opportunity. Yeah, congratulations, thank you. That's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: fabulous than you think. And it really resonates with me
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: about you know, struggling with school, like I think, like
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I feel very obligated to continue with school, like I
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: don't really want to. Yeah, you know, like I'm applying
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to her at school like very begrudgingly, like I don't
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: want to go, but I feel like I have to. Yeah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it definitely looks like that. So I commend you, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: sticking it out and yeah, you too, what's amazing. You
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: know what I'm trying trying. I mean even like like you,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: like your Mala said, like even though maybe you're doing
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: it be grudgingly, right, You're like, I have to write.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: But I think going back to what you said about
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: carving out your own space and doing that in academia
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and the institution is it makes it so much more rewarding.
• 14:53

  Speaker 1: in North Hollywood, right, And I'm trying to expand my horizon,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: so like usually I am not really into white people romantically,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: like I kind of stay away. I prefer people of color.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I just really do. I always have. But I was

• 27:40
  Speaker 1: his white hand, and he covered my mouth, like he
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: physically covered my mouth, and it was really fucking strange.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I'm very surprised at myself because I didn't get angry,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: like I didn't yell at him, which usually I would.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I was very calm, and because I was with my
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: friend and she said something to him. But yeah, so
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I gave one white man a chance,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and look at what he knows. I get. Any I
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: had this experience and it was so funny because I
• 28:08

• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to one for like a week, and literally as all
• 28:12

• 28:26
  Speaker 1: this white guy? And she was like, oh my god. Yeah,

  Speaker 1: bachelorette party, and he was like shirtless and he had
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: them do like all the games. I don't remember you

• 32:19
  Speaker 1: tail for now. I'm like, Okay, there's a situation with
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: dating these days where like there was a time where
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: men would take you out to dinner, and now they're
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: just trying to Netflix and chilly. They're like, what's your Snapchat?

• 32:46
  Speaker 1: to spend any money. You're not gonna get dressed up,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna put in any effort. You're not going
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to take me out to eat. You want to chill.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Fuck you. I don't want to be your friends. I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: have friends. Have enough friend That's literally my motto. I'm
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: just like, no, have so many friends, I can't even
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: keep coming more like I'm looking, I'm trying to get
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: booted up, not trying to just sleep friends. Honestly, and
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: in l A especially, I feel like it's a waste
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: less Yeah. No, it's so funny because not really dating,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: but you know, kind of on topic. Um, we like
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: go to a lot of like queer clubs and stuff,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: and like like I have my group of queer friends
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and von is like our token ally but tell me
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: why she always find like a man always comes and
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: asked her to dance. But then me and like my
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: other queer friends, like, we're just I'm just there's a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: lot of straight guys. They go hunting for the straight
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: that are there, yes, that are there with their queer friends,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like what, Like me and my friend
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: are like Venus canceled every time she gets asked to dance,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and we're just there isn't gonna circle. When I was young,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I used to we I used to go to this
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: eighteen plus club called Tiger Heat, but he has gone
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: to I'm not going to stay one because I'm not
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: trying to get that by the queers. I was like,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a teen. That was my ship back in the day.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Baby queer. Yes, And I loved it because they would
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: always have like what Destiny's Child night, Goga night, telling
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Roland night also, but they were always like way older,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: like weird men. There always there's always, like any any
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: queer pla club or bar you go to, there's always
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: like that straight guy looking hunting for that by himself.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I'm just so gross of what tell us No I
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: dated someone remember that would go out and about alone.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Remember it was very weird, kind of like red flat.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, where did you who did you go with?
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: And he was like, oh, I want by myself to
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: just check out the event. And I was like, see,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I think there's one thing, like Okay, Like I have
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a friend who she's like super independent. She likes to
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: travel and she'll travel to different countries by herself, and
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: she'll like go to a bar way different. That's one thing, right,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: That's one thing like where you have the confidence to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: be like I'm just gonna go to a bar and
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: just I'm gonna go by myself and grab a drink
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and if I talk to people at the bar, that's cool,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you know. And then it's another thing to be like
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: a man who's constantly going to party by yourself, like
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a clubs, Like why what are you doing? It's creepy, right,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: don't do creepy. Don't do that. Just stay home. Just
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: stay home an adult, stay home a lot of beer.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I need to stay home. I think that if you
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: have a freaking like wife and life partner, stay home
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to take your wife out, leave her singles alone, leave
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: room for the single, get out of my way. Yes.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Do you do you all ever date people who follow
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you off of Instagram or hang you know? Do you
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: have a policy? Do you have a rule. How do
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: you handle that? Instagram is almost like a dating app
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: basically a dating app. Yeah, I dated anyone, like through Instagram,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: but I've you know, hung out with people, but I
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: just coming notes. Yeah yeah they haven't. They did, never
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: went anywhere. So yeah, part of me. I was having
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: this conversation with my friend Monica actually the other day
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: about like, Okay, so let's say somebody follows you on
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: your Instagram. We put a lot of information on our
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Instagram about our thoughts, our opinions, are politics, how we
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: spend our time. So I was like, yeah, like I
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: saw this guy and he did all these things and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: he was doing everything right, and he was so nice
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: and he was so great. And Monica was like, Okay,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: but is he only doing this stuff because he knows
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: how you think because he follows your Instagram? You know?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: So is this real or is it just like he's
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: catering to what he's seen on your I G And
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, that's awful. That's scary. Do
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you do you have to think about that? Now? You
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: have to think about they have they have an inside. Yeah,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have him about them. Oh, let's talk about this.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: M no you honestly, like my d ms are funky.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: They're like a bunch of sagnic's Like I'm like, it's
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: so cross when it's so freaking girls, and the other
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: day like a man like he's like, um, yeah, I
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: keep you know what about what's up to make it shut? Yea,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: let you drop. That's for when you go on vacation
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to mess around on vacation. That's what
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: what's happened for. Oh my god, that's true. I have literally,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: like while traveling, I've downloaded what'sapp just for vacation and
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: then gotten rid of it. The second I come home,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't need this anymore. I used to
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: have to talk to last three mouth yeah, So that's
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: why I use it for. That's why you know, older
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: like Latino men are very bold in general they have
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: no children, and then the young ones not enough right,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: And I was too shy to say like yeah, girl,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: but I've gotten those. Yes, we've got we get those
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes like just say huh, like like some lately, like
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the couple of times that I have been going out,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: like I've asked guys out to dance, like I haven't
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: because otherwise they don't ask. They don't ask, they don't ask, Okay,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: they do, let's talk about okay, let's talk about that. Okay.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: So if you go out, you look cute, yeah, and
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the men just stare yeah, like what are you doing?
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: And they're right there hanging out with their homies, like
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: are you going to ask someone out to dance or what?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, like if I'm like dancing close to
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: someone like oh my, like like you know, but yeah,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: it's because I hate waiting. I hate waiting for someone
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: to ask me to dance. Of course I can't. Frustrating
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I'm like, you know, you feel like sometimes
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: you can feel discouraged. Like sometimes I would go out,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: you know, to the club and like no one asked
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: me how to dance, and like, I know, like and
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: like I would go because when I was younger, I
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: would go out with my sister to the club, like
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to like the North Club. Like I don't know if
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: you've ever been bad, but yeah I went like a
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: couple of times and no one asked me to dance,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are you thinking? What are you thinking?
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: But I was told I hope I heard that this
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: is a rule. I'm not sure if you've heard this,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: but like you have to dance with at least one
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: ugly guy and even if you don't want to dance
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: with them, so that other guys will dance with you
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: because they need. It's like a snob so like that
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: they know that, Okay, she's down. Who's more of a
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: snob me for like not dancing with anybody or the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: men for yeah no, yes, that's so bad. Yeah. But
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: my experience, and I've talked about this on my Instagram,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: is that like when we go out, I always get ignored,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Like I never get a problem Latinos. By Latinos trying
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: to approach me, it is a miracle. It is afraid.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: If a Latino approaches me, I always do well with
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: black eyes. They are not afraid to come up and
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: say hi, and they're very polite and they're nice and
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh you want to drink, Yeah, they'll talk.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I haven't had a problem, but with Latinos, I'm like, listen,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: if our entire race dies out, like if all Latinos die,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: those check, I don't know what's going on. I think
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I was telling my mom. I was like, they don't
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: approach me. They don't know. They don't like me. I
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. They're not assertive. Yeah,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: it's not about us. It's not us. Of course, we're
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: not a problem. No, it's them. We're perfect. Recognize that
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I'm perfect. I'm like hard here, I'm like, are they broke? Yeah,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: that's why met them too. But it's different for us.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: It's okay if we're broke. It's okay if I'm broke. Right,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: you're not the one buying the drink. Yeah. So anyways,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I think we have one more song we did I mean,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: did we have any other announcements or like things we
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about with Vanessa and Danny while we
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: have them. Well, it's the end of the year. It's
• 41:30

• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I agree. So let's let's talk about if you have
• 41:45

• 41:50
  Speaker 1: what they've done. Have you guys been doing any of that?
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I have, like all year, what I've been learning a lot?
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: You know, um, especially like because I'm you know, finishing
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: school and I'm just like, oh my god, life is scary.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: What's gonna happen after? So I've just been thinking a
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: lot about that. I feel like I was really worried,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, you get like a lot of anxiety.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like when like that's coming to an endy
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: like what's kind of happened with the rest of my life?
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: So like I've been really worried about my career because

  Speaker 1: That's just I'm ready. I'm ready for it. Yeah. This
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: past month, I've done so much like reflecting on what
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: this year, Um, what's happened this year? This year has
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: been I feel like really hard for me. I know
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of other people can relate, but there's just
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: been so much like emotions that I felt a lot
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: of more pain than usual. Um, but also of course,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of happiness this year. I came
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: out to my mom and like my family, so it
• 43:04

• 43:08
  Speaker 1: was like dealing with for a while. But that like

  Speaker 1: who it feels so great. But just other issues I've had,
• 43:15
