• 0:22
  Speaker 1: So y'all know, we kick off the show by checking
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in behind the scenes of the Grind, so let's get
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to it. So checking it behind the scenes of the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Grind today. I don't know why today felt a bit
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm literally only speaking for today. Normally it's like
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a general consensus of like how I've been feeling, or
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: like follow up to things that we've talked about within
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the space, but I don't know, today was like a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: flustered feeling.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I am really.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Trying to figure out how to balance or make the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: most time out of the weekdays man thirty four years old,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm just realizing, like, yo, you are really an adult,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: like you are the new adult out here, and it is.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Insane to me that that is. So.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know how our parents had all the time
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to like work, do homework, prop a betch of school
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: whenever the teacher called home, actually have a life of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: their own. Like, now that I'm thinking back on it,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, did my mom ever really have a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: life of her own after she had me and my brother?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Are like, did her life just like fully shift? And
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that was not a thing because I can't imagine having
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: children right now. To all of the parents out there
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that are listening to the podcast, hopefully this is y'all
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: like daily fix of something that is yours that you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: can do without the babies all up in you. Mama
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: need this, Mama need that, because I got to give
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it to y'all. I don't understand. I can't fathom how
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you guys do it, like the parents who you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, like full time, full time parents. Like this morning,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I woke up and was just like getting ready for work,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: headed in and I was thinking about everything that I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: set out to accomplish the night prior to prepare for
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: my day the following day. And in the midst of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: some of that, I literally fell asleep and woke up
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and it was time to go to work again. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man like Beyonce got these same twenty four
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: hours and she became an icon a billionaire, So I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: know I can do it, but Lord have mercy the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: process of figuring out what that flow is, because I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: don't think that there's really a balance.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I've said this before.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's like a flow state you get into
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: where you know, it's like discipline and yeah, like I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: just trying to figure all of that out while also
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: trying to imagine, like what it would be like once
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm married and I have kids, and like where they
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: fit into this lifestyle.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I think I probably fell
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: asleep and woking and woke up thinking about that is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: because of a conversation that we're actually gonna talk about
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in the Latest with Lord Le Rosa today.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Oprah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Oprah and Kiki Palmer were having a conversation and they
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: got into the fact that Oprah has never married, never
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: had children.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So we'll get to that in the Latest. Just want
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to let y'all know where my mind was at as
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I check in a bit.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But I'm doing these things now and I've talked about
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: this before on the podcast too, where when my days
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: feel like this, I just like know I need to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: take a second and like slow my day down. So
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: once I wrap work for the day, I'm gonna have
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: me a little session of like I just need to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: shut everything off for about thirty minutes to an hour.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's an anxiety thing too. I've never knew
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that i'd even dealt with anxiety, but when I hear
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: people describe anxiety and what that feels like, I think
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that's what I feel sometimes when I feel this way,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like everything just feels so like like flustered. Like I'm
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: y'all know those images of like somebody sitting in a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: chair that spins all the way around and like they're
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: just spinning, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, Like literally, my
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: days feel like that sometimes.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Today was one of them.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna slow it down and we're gonna get
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: into the conversation.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Let's get on into the latest now, the Miami Heat.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Speaking of conversations and things going a little crazy, Miami
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Heat is under some fire right now, not really under fire,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but they are a topic of conversation right now because
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: there was a YouTube link or a YouTube video that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: was made public on their YouTube channel, and I don't
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: think they should have made public, and.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: So they posted a link to a scheduled live stream
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and this live The live stream was titled Lebron James
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Introductory Press Conference. Now, you guys, know, for those of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you guys who aren't like like big sports, you know, enthusiasts,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and again y'all probably like sports. Like we rarely talk
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: about sports here on the podcast, but when we do,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's when it's something that bleeds into pop culture, into conversation.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Lebron James is that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So, Lebron James announced that he is no longer going
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to be doing any more seasons with the Lakers, that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be a free agent. He's gonna try to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: figure out a new team to go to. He got
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a chance to play with Bronni and now he's trying
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to figure some things out. There's always been a conversation
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: not always, but in the last I would say like
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: maybe five to six years, there's been a conversation about
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Lebron and retirement and when it's gonna happen. And you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: know what would be that like final nail in the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: coffin that made it happen, or how it would look
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like when it happened. A lot of people do believe
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: him announcing that he wanted to leave the Lakers because
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: he's he said before that playing with Bronni was like
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: on his list of things to do before he got
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: about of here, as far as I got about of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the game and retire, and he's done that. We got
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to see that on the court those moments, but a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: lot of people have been trying to figure out, you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: what that would look like. I think for a lot
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of people, they thought that it would have happened while
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he was on the Lakers, but now we know that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that is not the case. Because there are a few
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: perspective teams that people believe Lebron Lebron might be considering.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: One of them being the Cavaliers, which is where it
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all began for him. Another being Golden State, where you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: have Steph Steph Curry and Draymond Green and people were like, okay,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that could be like a trifecta. And then you also
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: have Philly. People think sixers are in the conversation Now
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to Miami. He posted this video this link and it
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: was followed by the day of July twenty seventh. It
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is July twenty second to followed by the day of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: July twenty seventh, and they said a spokesperson came out
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: for the team and said that this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Was a mistake.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: They told Shams, who is a journalist over at ESPN
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: who always gets the exclusives. I would love to actually
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: talk to Shams, not because of like a love for sports,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: but because of a love for the craft of storytelling,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: breaking news, and he's so good at it. Like I'm
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not an NBA or a sports like I don't die.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I don't like to sit on all of the like
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: espns of the world and the sports outlets. But when
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I see something normally it's on X from Shams, I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: trust it, and I think that that's a brand that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: he's built over time that I would love to sit
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: down and have a conversation with him about so may people.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: We'll figure out trying to get that here on the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: latest with Laurena Rosa. But so on Tuesday, there was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a late it was late Tuesday, there was a statement
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that was supposed to buy Shams saying that the possibility
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of the signing in that post. That YouTube post was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: mistakenly posted to the team's YouTube channel.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It was later deleted.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know y'alls now, people, I mean that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: heat have been loosely a part of the conversation. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: know I saw an interview or like a headline about
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a week or so ago where the President pat Riley
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: talked about how Giannis another NBA player, and the team
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: would welcome Lebron James if he decided to come to Miami.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: But people, I don't know, big slip up or preparation.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I will say, like when I used to work in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a newsroom, we were prep posts, and we were prep
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: posts just knowing like all right, this is so bad.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: But we were prep posts based on like death story.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So like if there were like certain celebrities who were
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: like super super super super super old, we would have
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: post prepped for if we got a tip that they
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: had passed away and we were able to confirm the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: story so that she wouldn't have to write it up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: You would be able to like get it up and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it would be already ready. We would have prep posts
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: for different outcomes. I remember when the MEGDA Stallion Tory
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Lane's case happened, we had a prep post for if
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Tory Lanes beat the case and was able to go
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: free and we had a prep post for if he didn't.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: We didn't know how many years he would be sentenced,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: two or you know, we didn't know a lot of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: things or like what he would be looking at, but
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we had those type of things prepped. And I think
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in a lot of stories you do that, Like I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised right now if you know, not sports teams,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: but if news outlets don't have stories prepped because you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: don't know when Lebron James's announcement is coming, Like you
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: have no idea when it's coming.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: There has been no real timeline laid out. The only
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: thing that we.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Know from conversations literally directly from Lebron and from his
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: agent Rich Paul, are that he's weighing a lot of things.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He's weighing family. Of course, he's weighing money, he's weighing legacy.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But you don't know when it's coming. So I think
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: most outlets right now and now we're learning the teams
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: are doing it too, are taking the odds of where
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: he might go on the conversations and just trying to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: be prepared for. But it's a crazy slip up though,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this is like an insane slip up to make shifting
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: gears completely onto our next story. You talk about journalism,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you talk about insane moments, breaking news, you got to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: talk about Oprah. Oprah is the og. She is the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: goat in all of this. And she sat down for Baby.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: This is Kekey Palmer with Kekey Palmer, and I enjoyed
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: this conversation thoroughly. It was about an hour long, and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Oprah got into a ton of different things. Oprah talked about,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you know, just the moment that she knew she needed
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to own her show, the Oprah Show, and the fact
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that she owned it fifty percent outright. But what I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: thought was like so big from the conversation was what
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: inspired her, Like I would say, it's like representation as
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: far as like, you know.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Seeing other women on the television.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But she talked a lot about Mary Tyler Moore and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: seeing the production credits at the end of her show.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Part of the reason I am who I am is
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: because I was watching the Mary Tyler Moore Show. And
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: at the end of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, remember this,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: there's a little MTM and a little cat that comes
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: out that goes to me how and it was her
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: own production company MTM. It's the first time that I realized, oh,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: you could own yourself, you could own your product, you
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: could own what you're putting out into the world. Is
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: what gave me the vision to believe that could happen.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: And I remember when I started in Chicago and I
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: said to one of the you know suits, I said,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: you know, one of the things I want is to
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: one day become a mogul. And the next day he
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: was like, how dare you use that language? How dare
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: you say that? Yes?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: That is what he said to me in nineteen eighty three,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: how dare you use it? Yes? Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I wanted to be I want to be a mogo
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: like marytell I think that he said that, Why do you?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: He said? It was so arrogant, and it was so yeah. Yeah.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: It was like so full of myself to think that
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I could become a mogul.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: And greatest fear is not that we're inadequate. Our greatest
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: fears that we're powerful beyond measure.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, come on, Mary Anne Williams said quote to me
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: that was.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: So good to me.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Now, another thing that I was surprised that Oprah was
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: like so open about even though she didn't she didn't
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: talk much about it, but like Obrah, don't really get
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: into these things. Kiki Palmer brought up the fact that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: everybody's always saying like I'm trying to me a stidman
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and that whole sentiment, and Oprah opened up about being
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: with men who dogged her out before step Man and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: how lucky she was to have a less said a listen, I.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Often am like, I need me a steadman.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Now. I don't know nothing about you and Steedman's actual relationship,
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: but what I'm curious of is what you found. How
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: much did it differ from what you thought you wanted.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, let me just tell you I paid a price
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: to get there, because I was a fool for many years.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Now, that's t boo. I went through some man in
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: troubles in my twenty so.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest things that I took away from
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this conversation was Oprah talking about intention and how intention
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I think you start out, of course with intention, because
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you have an intention to achieve and do something, but
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: understanding your power and your platform and being intentional about
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that throughout the work and being such a boss in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: her area from the beginning, like even when she wasn't syndicated,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: when she just in Chicago. How all that played a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: part into like who the Oprah is that we know
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and talk about today, like what she chose to talk about,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: how she chose to talk about it, and pushing that line,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: but like also being inviting enough where people wol want
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to come on the show. They dived into that conversation
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a bit, which I appreciate it because I think.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: For me, I am in real time learning that fine line.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: But when I started out in all of this because
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be on the other side of things,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Like I started out wanting to be an actress and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a model, and I'm still going to do those things.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But as I was like, I'm gonna retire with a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: talk show, like that was like a after everything else
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: happens goal for me. But things flipped. One thing happened
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: before the other. I've always told myself like when I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: got to a point where I was like in interviewing
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: people and you know, talking trending topics or whatever it
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: may be, I wanted to be like the person that
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: people wanted to pick.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Up the phone and called when things were happening.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Regardless if you agreed with the fact that I had
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to talk about it or not.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And Opra kind of gets into that. Let's take a listen.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: This was Jeff Jacobs who said this to me. Shout
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: out to Jeff Jacobs.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Jeff Jacobs who said, what if you
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: owned yourself, it means you'd have to take the risk
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: yourself that maybe it wouldn't do as well, but you
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: don't have to take a salary.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: You would get whatever the show was going to make.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: This iss like advertising. This is when we went syndicating.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when we were syndicated, yeah, And I said sure
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: because I believed in myself. And that is the reason
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: why I am where I am, because I believed that
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: ownership was the way for me. And you know what,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: at the time, you know, local stations couldn't even syndicate you,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: so they nobody.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Believed that the Oprah Show was going to be as
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: big as it was.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: And the reason why I got the greatest percentage the
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: percentage that I did, is because none of those guys
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: thought it was going to be that successful. If they
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: thought it was that successful, they would have never given
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: me fifty percent.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Did you feel that sacrifice in the immediate meaning, So
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: it didn't felt all the same.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: It's all the same to me.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: It felt like I knew that the show would be
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: successful because it was successful in Chicago.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Kekey Palmer. I thought that this conversation
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: was fire from beginning to end. I also, I am
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: just like I don't think that people understand how much
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of a job it is to build platform, like Kekey
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Palmer has a production company that is producing products and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: content outside of her. It's a business, like Kekey Palmer
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: herself is a business as well.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: She just recently did her Ted talk she has baby.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: This is Kekey Palmer, which is her talk down, sit
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: down talk show where she just interviewed Oprah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And she's very consistent.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people will look at
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it like, I mean, well, she's Kekey Palmer.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Of course she can be very consistent.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: To be honest with y'all, I feel like I'm more
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: surprised that she's Kekey Palmer. She's as consistent as she
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: is because a lot of times you watch celebrities who
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: have already accumulated a certain point of success to start
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: these podcasts and start these shows and don't keep up
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: with it because of schedule, because of other work things,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: but also because they've a massed a certain level of success.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So the fight the hunger that Oprah is talking about
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: in her early days in this interview, it ain't there
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: after a certain point, like you've amassed what you've set
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: out to do. But you could tell that Keiki Palmer
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: is like she's in it and like her intention is
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to grow her brand and to really have conversations that
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: like people actually walk away with feeling like, Okay, this
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: mattered and I'm down for it. Kekey Pomber broke down,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: like she was crying. In this interview. They started talking
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: about the pressures or you know, if they're were any
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: pressures for Oprah being a black woman in the space,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and she was talking about being the only black woman
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: in the newsroom.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, been there. But Keki Palmer literally started crying.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Because I always saw myself as a little black girl
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: who was truly God's child, so much so that when
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: I started school and I didn't even know who much
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: other ways at the time. When I started school, I
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: used to tell people, they say, who your dad? I
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: go Jesus my daddy, and they go, this girl crazy,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: she up here to talk about Jesus is our daddy.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: So I really grew up believing that I could do
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: all things because I was God's child. And so when
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: I walked into the newsroom and I was the only
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: black woman there, I just assumed I was supposed to
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: be there because God had made the way for that.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: It never occurred to me to feel like I didn't
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: belong because I knew God had created the path for
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: me to be there when I got the job in Baltimore.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: And Okay, so why are you crying?
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Because I feel that exact same way, where even in
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: my human moments where it's scary or you can, you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: people call it imposter syndron whatever, my courage has always
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: came through because I have such a deep faith in God,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: literally the source. It's like, no matter what feels seems
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: strange on the outside, it has never guided or stopped
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: or thwarted my ability to push forward. And I think
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: the tears are also coming from First of all, it's
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: an overwhelming sense of recognition, and then it's like, how
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: do how when people don't have that, when they don't
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: know that when they can't find their connection to that.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: I also feel grief for that, because certain things are
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: out of your control, but that does not mean that
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: it can stop you. And yet we are living in
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: a world where people feel absolutely stopped.
• 18:36
