4:41
Speaker 3: Baltimore visiting her, and she was sweating and all of
4:44
Speaker 3: these things were happening right in front of my face,
4:46
Speaker 3: and I was like, I think you're having a stroke.
4:49
Speaker 3: And she started slurring her words, and I went right
4:52
Speaker 3: into action, called the you know, nine one one, got
4:55
Speaker 3: on the phone with them, and then as this is happening,
4:58
Speaker 3: the paramedics coming and they're like, ain't know, ain't you
5:02
Speaker 3: that girl? Ain't you that girl from that show? Ain't

5:20
Speaker 3: just to make sure that you wait, wait, wait, wait
5:22
Speaker 3: you that girl? Ain't you? You know? And also being
5:25
Speaker 3: in relationships and like how I met my fairy godmother
5:29
Speaker 3: who's also a crackhead, but she inspired me. My mother
5:36
Speaker 3: is fine, praise God. You know, she made a full recovery.
5:39
Speaker 3: They were able to give her a medication. You know that.
5:43
Speaker 5: I was going to ask you because I think I
5:45
Speaker 5: really need to recognize the signs of the scroll, because
5:47
Speaker 5: I say that a lot jokingly, like when people study
5:48
Speaker 5: their words.
5:49
Speaker 2: Having a stroke, But did you really did you really understand.
5:52
Speaker 3: What was going on when you watch your sing I'll
5:55
Speaker 3: just tell you that because of my work on er
5:59
Speaker 3: as a doctor, as doctor Laverne Saint John, just happened
6:02
Speaker 3: to me, even one of the episodes where someone was
6:05
Speaker 3: having a stroke and I was listing all of it,
6:06
Speaker 3: so I remembered it. Thank God, you know, because God
6:10
Speaker 3: doesn't He does everything for a reason. It just happened
6:12
Speaker 3: to put me there at the right time, and I
6:14
Speaker 3: was able to call the paramedics and they were able
6:17
Speaker 3: to administer a medication that was able to reverse it immediately.
6:20
Speaker 3: And they were like, if you didn't know that that,
6:23
Speaker 3: I mean, my mom could have been in a totally
6:25
Speaker 3: different situation. I thank God for those moments, But now
6:28
Speaker 3: I can laugh. At that time, it was like, oh
6:30
Speaker 3: my god, this is chaos. I had just lost my father.
6:32
Speaker 3: I was like, God, plaze, you're shaking her turble. But
6:36
Speaker 3: you know, now I can take a deep breath and
6:38
Speaker 3: find the levity in it and share it.
6:40
Speaker 4: That was the moment where you're acting actually helped you
6:44
Speaker 4: in real life. Absolutely wow. So what is a moment
6:48
Speaker 4: or moments where your real life actually helped you act.
6:52
Speaker 4: I mean all of it.
6:53
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like everything helps, especially being an artist.
6:58
Speaker 3: Everything informs everything, you know, So of course, you know,
7:01
Speaker 3: any lost, any heartbreak, I bring it all to all
7:05
Speaker 3: to whatever I'm doing. You know, you know I do drama,
7:09
Speaker 3: I do comedy, but everything inspires it. It's all in me.
7:13
Speaker 3: So that's why I love acting, because you could read
7:15
Speaker 3: it one way, and then I can read it one way,
7:17
Speaker 3: and my experiences inform how I deliver something.
7:20
Speaker 4: And this comedy just gives you the freedom.
7:22
Speaker 3: Just big bug wow, you know, just big bug wow.

11:19
Speaker 6: everything from like meeting your husband to your baby, it's
11:22
Speaker 6: like really like a movie, like a story. Right then
11:25
Speaker 6: fold for you the way you thought it was because
11:27
Speaker 6: you had froze your eggs at one point, right.
11:28
Speaker 3: I did, and I didn't use nail one of them.
11:33
Speaker 3: Just Actually the last time I saw you, remember we
11:35
Speaker 3: was talking at the Celebrity Square squares and we was
11:39
Speaker 3: talking about marriage. Who's having babies? Girl, I was pregnant
11:45
Speaker 3: right then and there. When I was telling you that
11:47
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna have no kids, I was like, girl,
11:49
Speaker 3: I'm good, I got a bonus daughter. I'm fine. I
11:52
Speaker 3: did not even know was pregnant. I went to go
11:57
Speaker 3: get a past beer and was shocked.
12:01
Speaker 4: No, I just did, just didn't want. She was telling
12:04
Speaker 4: me she wasn't really trip because you had.
12:06
Speaker 3: I had my bone house. It wasn't like we was
12:08
Speaker 3: really trying. I mean, we wasn't preventing, I meane, but
12:14
Speaker 3: like you know, I was like, what you know.
12:17
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, well, okay, God, you to stop
12:20
Speaker 2: telling God your plans because.
12:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it happened at the right time. It was favor.
12:27
Speaker 3: But I just think that's so funny. I just remember
12:29
Speaker 3: that time we were talking and now look at you.
12:31
Speaker 3: You're married and you have a beautiful daughter. We was
12:35
Speaker 3: really like, no, we having a good time. We are
12:37
Speaker 3: living life.
12:41
Speaker 2: And it just met a Mexican and no, shut up.
12:43
Speaker 4: I had already knew him and he's back, and yeah, that.
12:47
Speaker 3: Look beautiful together, so happy. It looks so good on you.
12:52
Speaker 5: What's the biggest misconception people have about comedians who can act.
12:56
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. You know, I really don't know what
12:59
Speaker 3: the because this is not my you know, like I'm
13:02
Speaker 3: not a part of those people I started in acting.
13:05
Speaker 3: I'm classically trying fel so you know, like you know,
13:09
Speaker 3: when I go into stand up, it's mostly like a
13:12
Speaker 3: way for me to be on stage and to do
13:14
Speaker 3: Broadway and to do all of that, like that's that's
13:17
Speaker 3: my outlet, if you will. But I don't get what
13:20
Speaker 3: they say. I'm doing it and make room like there's
13:24
Speaker 3: enough room for everybody. And I celebrate, especially when I
13:27
Speaker 3: see women, especially women of color, telling their stories on stage.
13:32
Speaker 3: It's it's beautiful and I want to create that camaraderie.
13:36
Speaker 2: And I like the fact that you're.
13:37
Speaker 5: Doing it all and you have it all right, because
13:40
Speaker 5: I've heard people tell women straight up, you can't have kids.
13:44
Speaker 5: Don't have kids in this business. It's crazy, like, don't
13:46
Speaker 5: get read. I don't understand that logic, no, you know what.
13:49
Speaker 3: And again I listen a lot of women in this
13:52
Speaker 3: industry told me not to listen to that, and they said,
13:55
Speaker 3: you know what, prepare.
13:56
Speaker 7: That's how I thought, Yeah, you froze your eggs because
13:58
Speaker 7: I tell tell you to do that.
14:00
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, I froze my eggs because an executive,
14:03
Speaker 3: an amazing black executive told me, she said, don't forget
14:06
Speaker 3: about your life. And Kim Whitley also told me that
14:09
Speaker 3: she was like, I love that you have this beautiful career,
14:12
Speaker 3: but please don't forget about your life. Don't wait until
14:14
Speaker 3: it's too late that you have lost your opportunity to
14:18
Speaker 3: have children, that you're not making yourself available to have
14:22
Speaker 3: a husband or to have love in your life. Because
14:24
Speaker 3: you can just be on this train of focus of
14:26
Speaker 3: just trying to get it, and most women can relate
14:28
Speaker 3: because you know, like we're out here.
14:29
Speaker 6: We getting it, and now you really actually like working
14:32
Speaker 6: like we see the work. So a lot of times
14:35
Speaker 6: you feel like out of sight, out of mind.
14:37
Speaker 3: Right like yeah, you gotta keep you gotta keep on it,
14:40
Speaker 3: you know, like you gotta hustle. And so that's why
14:43
Speaker 3: I think it was God's plan, God's plan when I
14:47
Speaker 3: got knocked up, because it was right during the writer's strike,
14:52
Speaker 3: you know, and the actors strike, and we was we
14:54
Speaker 3: was down, you know, and so I just thank God
14:57
Speaker 3: that I made myself of available right there and in
15:01
Speaker 3: that moment to get knocked up, nothing else to do.
15:08
Speaker 3: That's why I was like, oh, it's happening now, Like
15:11
Speaker 3: this is crazy, you know, but I was. I'm grateful.
15:15
Speaker 3: I know that that's not everybody else's journey. I'm just
15:17
Speaker 3: grateful that I was able to be in that space.
15:22
Speaker 2: When you stopped chasing it, because I remember when I
15:24
Speaker 2: was out here looking for a man.
15:26
Speaker 3: You leave me alone.
15:28
Speaker 2: I remember those times.
15:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was hard out here for a PM. You know,
15:31
Speaker 3: it's really hard, you know. I talk about the debris
15:35
Speaker 3: and everything just blowing in the winds, cigarette buzz leaves,
15:39
Speaker 3: dry paper bags, plastic bags. It was horrible.
15:42
Speaker 5: So did it find you when you stopped chasing it
15:44
Speaker 5: or did you? Were you intentional about creating space for.
15:47
Speaker 3: I was intentional. I locked myself in the room, but
15:55
Speaker 3: I literally made the conscious decision. I was like, God,
15:58
Speaker 3: if you don't do what, it won't get done. I'm
16:00
Speaker 3: sick and tired of swiping. I'm sick and tired of

Speaker 5: never really got a lot.
22:45
Speaker 4: Of the parents I do.
22:47
Speaker 5: When you do something that you might yell at him
22:49
Speaker 5: or do something wrong, yo, gotta apologize to him.
22:52
Speaker 3: Listen, I have a bonus starter. I will say that,
22:54
Speaker 3: and I talk about that in my special too. And
22:56
Speaker 3: she's amazing. But she's ten years old and I've had
23:00
Speaker 3: to learn a lot very quickly, you know, and I've
23:04
Speaker 3: had to learn how to say sorry to her, you know,
23:06
Speaker 3: because I don't want to be the wicked witch of
23:10
Speaker 3: the West, you know. I don't want to be that,
23:12
Speaker 3: you know. I want to be her companion and someone
23:15
Speaker 3: she can depend on. So I have definitely said I'm
23:17
Speaker 3: sorry to her, and I see how much she appreciates it,
23:20
Speaker 3: and I was like, you know what, I gotta handle
23:21
Speaker 3: that situation better and I'm sorry and she was like, oh,
23:26
Speaker 3: thank you, thank you, and you know, and it's so
23:28
Speaker 3: beautiful because I want to trust me and I love
23:32
Speaker 3: her for that, and she's she actually inspired me to have,
23:35
Speaker 3: you know, like to like really take in motherhood because
23:38
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, you want a sister,
23:41
Speaker 3: I know, and that's a lot of pressure. I don't
23:42
Speaker 3: know if I could do that. And then I'm pregnant
23:44
Speaker 3: at the same time. And she was like, I told
23:46
Speaker 3: you you could do it. And I was like, you
23:47
Speaker 3: know what, You're the best. You're the best, you know,
23:51
Speaker 3: so I appreciate it.
23:53
Speaker 6: You know, all avenues, you know, your character and Run
23:56
Speaker 6: the World of Renee. Yeah, it was so on brand,
24:00
Speaker 6: like this would be we got more Run the World.
24:02
Speaker 7: She would be in a season in her life too.
24:03
Speaker 3: That's what I thought. And I am just continuing the storyline,
24:09
Speaker 3: you know, why stars why? But no, I love doing
24:13
Speaker 3: Run the World so much so, I mean, my middle
24:15
Speaker 3: name is Renee. I named my daughter Brave Renee. And
24:18
Speaker 3: I loved playing that character. So yeah, she's she's a
24:21
Speaker 3: part of me.
24:22
Speaker 6: Where do you think because even with your character Renee,
24:24
Speaker 6: she was very headstrong, very like I got to accomplished.
24:27
Speaker 6: I got to accomplish, but a lot of it was
24:28
Speaker 6: things that she was like lacking or trying to figure
24:30
Speaker 6: out about herself. What are things that you've had to
24:33
Speaker 6: figure out in the midst of like learning to say
24:35
Speaker 6: I'm sorry or like all of the accomplishing and not
24:38
Speaker 6: you know, what are some of the things that Brists
24:39
Speaker 6: had to figure out about herself?
24:41
Speaker 3: When I count, when I count myself out, you know,
24:45
Speaker 3: like when I when I make myself small in a situation,
24:48
Speaker 3: you know, like just giving myself, like having that outward
24:53
Speaker 3: look and saying like, Okay, it's not too much to
24:55
Speaker 3: ask for, you know, to want more and don't make
24:59
Speaker 3: yourself s all thinking that you haven't seen it, Like
25:02
Speaker 3: you have to be it, don't dream it, be it,
25:04
Speaker 3: you know, like you have to imagine yourself in a
25:07
Speaker 3: space even if you don't know if that's possible. And
25:10
Speaker 3: I think that's when I'm learning about myself. Like I've
25:13
Speaker 3: never seen an actress go fully into stand up in
25:17
Speaker 3: this way starting at this age. And being a mom
25:22
Speaker 3: and being a wife and being totally happy being at home. Okay,
25:26
Speaker 3: I mean I have help, but I love being a mom.
25:28
Speaker 3: I love being a wife and cooking and doing all
25:32
Speaker 3: that stuff, you know, So it's it's I have to
25:36
Speaker 3: imagine it for myself and say, yes, that can still
25:39
Speaker 3: be me. I don't have to count myself short because
25:41
Speaker 3: saying just because I haven't seen it, but also seeing
25:43
Speaker 3: you balance it all and going on the road and
25:46
Speaker 3: doing all of that's that's amazing to see. So thank
25:49
Speaker 3: you for sharing that joke.
25:50
Speaker 4: Problems easy.
25:52
Speaker 3: It's not easy, and you know that, you know, like
25:54
Speaker 3: you can see that it's not easy, but you have
25:57
Speaker 3: to still take it on because someone else is watching you. Yeah,
26:01
Speaker 3: that's what I'm learning what.
26:03
Speaker 2: You said about Jess.
26:04
Speaker 5: I always wondered, like, how do you protect your relationship
26:06
Speaker 5: and the era where everybody feels entitled?
26:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean my husband is really good at that.
26:15
Speaker 3: He's in the business. He's a writer. Shout out to him.
26:18
Speaker 3: He's writing online's new season. You know, a good drum
26:23
Speaker 3: he's got too drum.
26:27
Speaker 8: God, But uh yeah, I just I'm very proud of
26:32
Speaker 8: the way that he protects me and us and he's
26:36
Speaker 8: just like, hey, like you do you I'm not a
26:38
Speaker 8: part of this, like I want you to do.
26:41
Speaker 3: You go and promote show everybody who you are because
26:45
Speaker 3: I'm sick of seeing it at home by myself. I
26:47
Speaker 3: want you to I please share this with Yeah, you know,
26:53
Speaker 3: but I love that my husband really does think about
26:57
Speaker 3: me as an outward person as well as a person.
27:00
Speaker 3: He's like, no, you got to go out there and
27:02
Speaker 3: you got to do your thing. And that's the way
27:03
Speaker 3: that he protects me because he's like, I need you
27:06
Speaker 3: to actually be your biggest self, so you're not making
27:10
Speaker 3: me feel all of that at home, you know.
27:13
Speaker 7: So that's a different thing.
27:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, because a lot of times I think with women
27:16
Speaker 6: who are very successful and reach like a lot of
27:18
Speaker 6: career heights that you have, they are often scared of
27:20
Speaker 6: getting all those long term relationships because men sometimes you'll
27:24
Speaker 6: get the opposite. Yeah, you have to kind of step
27:26
Speaker 6: back a bit, just be the wife at home, like
27:28
Speaker 6: you're getting to do all of it, and he's pushing
27:29
Speaker 6: you the complete.
27:30
Speaker 3: Because you have these roles that people have made up, Right,
27:33
Speaker 3: but why not shake the table, why not mix it up?
27:36
Speaker 3: Why not? You know, you got to be aware of
27:38
Speaker 3: the red flags. You know. I've always had a dream
27:41
Speaker 3: for myself and I wanted to always do it all,
27:45
Speaker 3: you know, and it was it was great that I
27:47
Speaker 3: aligned myself with someone who also wants to do it
27:50
Speaker 3: all and wants me to do it all. That's actually
27:52
Speaker 3: his turn on. He's like, I love seeing you do this.
27:55
Speaker 3: Oh more makeup, more glam, who else you know?
27:59
Speaker 4: Bring it, go do it?
28:00
Speaker 2: You know.
28:01
Speaker 3: I love that, And I feel like for more women
28:04
Speaker 3: out there, there are men that need to see us
28:07
Speaker 3: doing us and be and be inspired and want their
28:13
Speaker 3: women to be amazing because when you come home, you know,
28:16
Speaker 3: there's more for us to play with. You know, there's
28:19
Speaker 3: more things we can go on, the vacations, we can
28:21
Speaker 3: calm down. You don't have to carry everything.
28:24
Speaker 2: You know.
28:24
Speaker 3: So I love that we're both working, We're both pushing
28:27
Speaker 3: each other to success. It's great. I have nothing. I'm happy,
28:35
Speaker 3: not I thank God. I want to thank him, you know.
28:39
Speaker 3: I want to thank my mother and my father for
28:40
Speaker 3: raising me. You know, I just I'm really happy. But
28:43
Speaker 3: I just want women to know that it does exist.
28:46
Speaker 3: And if you have to just keep chucking along until
28:49
Speaker 3: he comes, as fine, because he will come. And if
28:52
Speaker 3: he's not supposed to come, it's okay too, because you
28:55
Speaker 3: don't want nobody holding you back. Period.
28:57
Speaker 7: Did you have to teach yourself to let him protect.
29:00
Speaker 3: Yes, girl. Still to this day it's hard to let go.
29:07
Speaker 3: And I like that hard, I mean, and that's and
29:10
Speaker 3: that's another thing when I have to step back and say,
29:11
Speaker 3: you're right, you know, And and that's that's a part
29:14
Speaker 3: of marriage, you know, allowing your your man or your
29:18
Speaker 3: person to put to be your eyes and your ears
29:21
Speaker 3: for you. You know.
29:23
Speaker 4: What are the things that he had to change because
29:26
Speaker 4: he had never been married before.
29:27
Speaker 3: He had never been married before. This is me, Yes,
29:32
Speaker 3: I feel like he is a marine and so I
29:37
Speaker 3: am very loose, you know, I'm Lily Ladilie, and he's
29:41
Speaker 3: okay these we're on the war, We're in the zone,
29:47
Speaker 3: we're on the battlefield. I've got the guns, you know,
29:50
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, oh my god, hi everybody. You know,
29:54
Speaker 3: he's like everyone's trying to kill a He's had to
29:58
Speaker 3: lighten up quite a bait, quite a bet. Everyone is
30:01
Speaker 3: not trying to kill us.
30:03
Speaker 4: Baby.
30:03
Speaker 3: You know, we can fly, we can go there in
30:07
Speaker 3: this Yeah. But you know I had to get used
30:11
Speaker 3: to that and he had to get used to me.
30:12
Speaker 3: You know. We had to find our balance. And it
30:14
Speaker 3: is a dance.
30:15
Speaker 1: Every morning, six am, this seven.
30:19
Speaker 3: Has a rude routine, you know, but he still is
30:22
Speaker 3: a creative, but he gets it done and he's he's
30:25
Speaker 3: a writer, so like that thing, don't shut off, you know.
30:29
Speaker 3: And so it's great that it allows our creativity. Like
30:32
Speaker 3: he knows that I'm always like I'm on, but I'm
30:35
Speaker 3: also off. But he also understands, like this is a
30:38
Speaker 3: part of her nature. And I also understand he'd be
30:40
Speaker 3: locking himself in his room and with his computer and
30:43
Speaker 3: he'd just be and I gotta let him just do that,
30:46
Speaker 3: you know. And yeah, because I know it's gonna be great.
30:51
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna bring you a play of food.
30:52
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring you your scotch. Whatever you need, you know,
31:01
Speaker 3: help you, you know, you need anything.
31:06
Speaker 4: What you're making.
31:09
Speaker 3: A mask to be.
31:14
Speaker 2: A version of yourself.
31:15
Speaker 3: Oh oh, grud. I think a part of you dies
31:21
Speaker 3: when you get married, and another part of you dies
31:24
Speaker 3: when you have a baby. It dies, and I kind
31:27
Speaker 3: of had to grieve that, you know. I yeah, that
31:31
Speaker 3: that lady had to die. Yeah, you know, and the
31:35
Speaker 3: people that are attached to that side have to.
31:38
Speaker 1: Die to.
31:40
Speaker 2: Talk about that.
31:42
Speaker 4: Girl.
31:42
Speaker 3: You get married, girl, the people will show up, won't they?
31:46
Speaker 3: And you got to cut them off. No, No, just
31:50
Speaker 3: people in your life that just that that accept and
31:54
Speaker 3: want you to stay the same. The single friends or whomever. Like,
31:58
Speaker 3: just people that just love one version of you and
32:01
Speaker 3: two are becoming one, Like I come with this now,
32:05
Speaker 3: you know, And yeah, that that that they ain't gotta
32:07
Speaker 3: die and so yeah, there are versions of myself that
32:10
Speaker 3: have had to put the rest in order to grow.
32:13
Speaker 3: And I still grieve that some times, you know, Oh,
32:16
Speaker 3: of course, because I missed those people. But at the
32:19
Speaker 3: end of the day, I have to remember that God
32:22
Speaker 3: wants what's best for me, and I am walking in
32:24
Speaker 3: my in my path and I have to trust that.
32:27
Speaker 4: Because they're supposed to want what's best for you, but
32:30
Speaker 4: they can't see past their own girl girl, So I
32:34
Speaker 4: had to have some hard conversations then. Who Sometimes people
32:38
Speaker 4: don't even want to hear those conversations. Sometimes you just
32:40
Speaker 4: like gotta leave them in the corner where you know
32:42
Speaker 4: where they pray for them and love them from a distance.
32:45
Speaker 5: No.
32:45
Speaker 4: Hate is just like, damn, you couldn't be happy for me.
32:49
Speaker 4: I called you and told you that he proposed and
32:50
Speaker 4: you said damn, And he couldn't wait for me to
32:52
Speaker 4: be around with it not congratulations, and then you.
32:57
Speaker 3: Got somebody clocking that for you. It's horrible because you've
33:00
Speaker 3: been thinking this is a person that's been riding for you.
33:03
Speaker 3: But then you have another set of eyes and ears
33:06
Speaker 3: that's also not wanting you to get hurt, and they're
33:09
Speaker 3: letting you be aware of like, yo, don't, don't, don't
33:13
Speaker 3: push that to the side, like that's not cool, and
33:16
Speaker 3: so like, yeah.
33:18
Speaker 4: It was you.
33:20
Speaker 3: Yeah it's cool.
33:21
Speaker 4: And then, like you said, the grieving party, yeah still hurt,
33:24
Speaker 4: those feelings still hurt you. It's like, damn, I want
33:27
Speaker 4: to call Yeah, I wish we could, but we can
33:30
Speaker 4: we can't.
33:31
Speaker 3: And I thank God that I've I've opened myself to
33:34
Speaker 3: new relationships, new friendships that have blessed me beyond measure.
33:39
Speaker 3: You know, Kelly Rowland is my friend, like my real friend,
33:43
Speaker 3: and she has raised me up a lot in this wifehood, motherhood.
33:49
Speaker 3: I'm so grateful my girlfriend, my best friend, angel, you
33:53
Speaker 3: know that chick angel, like writers that have like I
33:58
Speaker 3: can lean on and I can ask some ques. It
34:00
Speaker 3: can make me cry, but like it's such a vulnerable
34:03
Speaker 3: stage and they got your back, and that's what you
34:07
Speaker 3: need when you're going through this when.
34:09
Speaker 2: Kelly started embracing you, y'all shot some movie, what was it, Christmas? Christmas?
34:14
Speaker 5: And I don't know, it's weird that you can see
34:16
Speaker 5: something real happening on Instagram, but I saw it in
34:19
Speaker 5: real time.
34:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, you've just seen it develop.
34:22
Speaker 3: Over the years. Yeah, she's she's a beautiful person. Yeah,
34:25
Speaker 3: and that's just who she is. And you know, beautiful
34:30
Speaker 3: people find each other. Yeah, you know, and you just
34:32
Speaker 3: have to trust that, and not to say that people
34:34
Speaker 3: in my life weren't beautiful before. They're beautiful just over
34:37
Speaker 3: there and you just give them love.
34:39
Speaker 6: And I would love to hear people talk more about
34:42
Speaker 6: the white foot thing that you just brought up though,
34:44
Speaker 6: because I'm thinking about, like, it does have to be
34:46
Speaker 6: a community, because you have to learn a lot of things,
34:48
Speaker 6: learn people who are doing it right but also did
34:50
Speaker 6: it wrong. Yeah, be open enough to want to hear
34:52
Speaker 6: from these people and choose who's right and who's wrong.
34:55
Speaker 7: To even hear from exactly.
34:57
Speaker 3: It's really it's really crazy, you know. That's why I like,
35:01
Speaker 3: I'm just very grateful because you have to listen. That's
35:05
Speaker 3: like my main thing with this marriage thing, because you
35:08
Speaker 3: have to be able to listen to good advice and
35:10
Speaker 3: know when to discard the rest. You know, and know
35:13
Speaker 3: who's in your circle, and know who wants the best
35:16
Speaker 3: for both of y'all, and go with God. You know,
35:21
Speaker 3: you know and know, and your friends can really see
35:24
Speaker 3: you and say how you doing with that? I didn't
35:28
Speaker 3: like how you did that, and you are soft enough
35:30
Speaker 3: to let them tell you.
35:32
Speaker 8: You know.
35:34
Speaker 3: And listening has been a new thing I've had to
35:38
Speaker 3: take in before I react, Before I react, but listening first, Yeah.
35:48
Speaker 2: Special, Why do you reference Rihanna as a type of
35:50
Speaker 2: mom because I.
35:51
Speaker 3: Read an article that you don't have on nanny. I
35:54
Speaker 3: don't believe that either.
35:55
Speaker 5: But like.
35:57
Speaker 3: She might do it all.
36:00
Speaker 1: And everybody might be no nanny might mean mama and
36:02
Speaker 1: auntie is cousins.
36:05
Speaker 3: The article said she didn't have no nanny, but she
36:07
Speaker 3: does a lot. She does a lie. That's probably why
36:09
Speaker 3: we ain't got an album yet. But because she ain't
36:12
Speaker 3: got no nanny.
36:13
Speaker 4: She probably don't want to do that.
36:15
Speaker 2: Looks like she ain't got no nanny. I ain't gonna lie.
36:17
Speaker 2: She was pushing the carriage and she had one baby
36:19
Speaker 2: on one shoulder.
36:21
Speaker 3: But look, Rihanna is my Like that's the woman. That's
36:27
Speaker 3: a supermom right there.
36:28
Speaker 7: She's doing it all like sexy.
36:31
Speaker 3: Yes, that's one of the people I've put on my
36:34
Speaker 3: board of like, yes, I want to do all of
36:37
Speaker 3: that and be a great mom. Her kids you can
36:39
Speaker 3: tell love her. They are. She's a present mom.
36:44
Speaker 4: And I do believe that she don't have anything.
36:45
Speaker 3: I don't know.
36:46
Speaker 4: I don't believe that. You're not long mothers have been
36:49
Speaker 4: being single moms of multiple children. I didn't you know,
36:53
Speaker 4: is there for sure, you know their father's there. But
36:55
Speaker 4: I believe that she don't have, you know, no help.
36:58
Speaker 3: That's a lot. I believe it.
36:59
Speaker 4: She's not resting, you know, wherever she is, those babies
37:03
Speaker 4: are right there, you know.
37:04
Speaker 2: So you do see that. It's probably more shocking to
37:06
Speaker 2: hear that because we know that she's soy.
37:08
Speaker 1: And she's she's running a billion dollar business, yes what.
37:11
Speaker 4: I mean, But she has she does have many people
37:15
Speaker 4: in place to do those things, like different teams, different
37:18
Speaker 4: staff that you know, chief of staff that run all
37:21
Speaker 4: those things that she probably was doing before. But when
37:24
Speaker 4: she said she want to have kids and want to
37:26
Speaker 4: be able to, she went.
37:27
Speaker 3: To Barbados, you know, she went back to her ruts.
37:32
Speaker 3: And I appreciate that, Like, that's really inspiring to do
37:35
Speaker 3: it all and then give yourself the opportunity to be
37:40
Speaker 3: a wife and mother, Like that's beautiful. We're gonna never
37:44
Speaker 3: get another and that's okay. That's why I was inspired
37:47
Speaker 3: to say it for her, you know, that's what I
37:53
Speaker 3: said on the specially you already know one of the jobs.
37:55
Speaker 3: Oh damn, that's why I brought it out. That's why
38:03
Speaker 3: I did it, you know.
38:04
Speaker 5: You see it was the working mom with daycare, working
38:08
Speaker 5: mom without daycare, and then Rihanna.
38:10
Speaker 3: And then Rihanna. Then that's Rihanna.
38:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you got all of them.
38:14
Speaker 8: Yeah.
38:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
38:16
Speaker 3: I had to decide who I wanted to be, and
38:17
Speaker 3: I wanted to be the working mom with a lady,
38:21
Speaker 3: not to have a nanny. Yeah, I got to have anymore.
38:26
Speaker 3: I know. No, no, you don't know that. Yeah, dude,
38:34
Speaker 3: I had had a very hard pregnancy. You know, we're
38:38
Speaker 3: we're grateful to be here, grateful.
38:41
Speaker 4: To be here.
38:42
Speaker 3: You know, don't sleep on these women and their bodies
38:45
Speaker 3: and what we go through to bring life into this world.
38:49
Speaker 6: When you first posted the photo of your baby in
38:51
Speaker 6: the hospital, but you said something about like your baby
38:53
Speaker 6: like led you through the complication.
38:55
Speaker 3: Yes, that's why I named her Brave. Yeah, amazing, Yeah,
38:58
Speaker 3: because it was it was search and go. It was
39:01
Speaker 3: a heart issue that came up while I was pregnant
39:04
Speaker 3: that I actually inherited from my father. Was like, no,
39:06
Speaker 3: he didn't leave me all money, and he left me
39:08
Speaker 3: this heart condition and shit, and it's a rare hot condition. Goddamn,
39:15
Speaker 3: it's HHT. And so it was like my body was
39:19
Speaker 3: like a boiler room when I got pregnant, and so
39:22
Speaker 3: my heart rate was like above just sitting and so
39:27
Speaker 3: I was just like a ticking time bomb. And doctors
39:30
Speaker 3: would just look at me and be like, we don't
39:31
Speaker 3: know what to do. We're just gonna take it day
39:34
Speaker 3: by day with you. And I'm grateful for the team
39:37
Speaker 3: and where God, I went to three different hospitals. I
39:41
Speaker 3: landed with a great team at UCLA, and it was
39:44
Speaker 3: like it was like er I was on a set
39:46
Speaker 3: of Vard and I didn't get to be in on
39:48
Speaker 3: the labor and delivery floor. I was in oh wah,
39:50
Speaker 3: but all these doctors, you know, And but I thank
39:53
Speaker 3: God because I was still able to have like contractions
39:57
Speaker 3: and to feel all of that and the surprise because
39:59
Speaker 3: she came early than the C section date and so
40:03
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I didn't wanted to
40:05
Speaker 3: bro like I still had to get out of this.
40:08
Speaker 3: Bitch is small. You know, she was a little early,
40:11
Speaker 3: but you know, just five weeks early. But I still
40:13
Speaker 3: got to have that moment and I was so grateful
40:16
Speaker 3: for it. And I was like, oh my god, I
40:17
Speaker 3: feel yet. I didn't know I was gonna get this.
40:20
Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna be in dope, you know,
40:22
Speaker 3: so it was really dope.
40:24
Speaker 4: That's amazing. Motherhood is beautiful. It is a challenging journey.
40:27
Speaker 3: But you learn so much about yourself and how much
40:30
Speaker 3: you can endure and how much you can take. And
40:32
Speaker 3: going through that, I had to take care of myself,
40:35
Speaker 3: you know. I had to breathe and and really focus
40:38
Speaker 3: on my no mistake, you know, because it it worked
40:42
Speaker 3: on everything. She was just chilling, legs crossed the entire
40:45
Speaker 3: time chilling. It was like, she's fine, bright, and she
40:50
Speaker 3: is She's something.
40:52
