  Speaker 4: had an opportunity to be a part of It's Lit
• 11:38

• 11:59
  Speaker 4: were able to sit on a platform with Ebony and
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Essence and be recognized as a magazine. So if nothing
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: else that I am proud of that. If nothing else happens,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: if we don't get no more recognition, we don't get
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: no more awards, It's something that's gonna go down in history.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: It's something that's gonna go down a part of my

  Speaker 4: legacy that I'm gonna be able to leave that.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: It's gonna carry on in my family.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: They gonna know that, Hey, my auntie had a magazine
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: and she was recognized alongside Ebony and Essence, which are
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: some amazing magazines. So y'all take opportunity to position yourself.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: You never know what God is setting you up for.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: You never know who he's aligning you with and what
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: connections you can make because of a connection or because
