- 1:28know before I get started, anyone that knows, I always
- 1:32do a mental health check in, So before we jump
- 1:35into tonight's show, let me just go ahead and do
- 1:37our mental health check in. Let me see everybody's doing,
- 1:40everybody's feeling, let me test the waters, and then we'll
- 1:42just proceed from there. This is not gonna be a
- 1:45long show tonight, just something, just a little introduction in
- 1:50what we're gonna be discussing for the month of March
- 1:52and for some of the things that are to come
- 1:54for Black Girl Interrupted. So here we go, and then
- 1:57we'll jump back into tonight's conversation.
- 2:07Speaker 2: If the lion is the king of the jungle, how
- 2:10can he be the king of the jungle if he's
- 2:13not the biggest.
- 2:16Speaker 3: The elephant is probably one of the biggest. He can't
- 2:19be the fastest, because that's a.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Cheatah, he can't be the smartest, So he's not the biggest,
- 2:27the fastest, or the smartest.
- 2:29Speaker 3: So how does the lion become the king of the jungle?
- 2:36Speaker 4: Its mentality. That's the only difference of a lion and
- 2:40an elephant. When a lion walks up and sees an elephant,
- 2:45he thinks lunch.
- 2:47Speaker 5: An elephant, thanks, run, And it's the whole mentality. Because
- 2:53when a male lion walks up, he may be out
- 2:56numbered by a pack of hyenas. But I'm keen of
- 3:00my jungle because of my mentality.
- 3:04Speaker 6: What happens when you're gazel and you're not being pushed,
- 3:07you're not being proud of you're not giving it a reward.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Nobody's encouraging you.
- 3:11Speaker 6: What happens when you are gazel and the lion's not
- 3:14chasing anymore.
- 3:15Speaker 3: You stop running.
- 3:16Speaker 7: But what happens when you're a lion. When you are
- 3:19a lion, it does not make a difference. You realize
- 3:22that if your family is going to eat that, if
- 3:25that pack of lions is to survive, then.
- 3:28Speaker 3: You gotta go hunt. A part of being a beast
- 3:32just ain't eating a gazelle. A part of being.
- 3:34Speaker 7: A beast is the hunts.
- 3:36Speaker 3: It's the hunt that they're excited about.
- 3:38Speaker 6: They like to see the gazelles run to poove, they
- 3:41take off because real.
- 3:42Speaker 7: Lions like to hunt. They love the process just as
- 3:45much as they love the prize.
- 3:47Speaker 3: And some of y'all just want to score.
- 3:48Speaker 7: You don't like the process, you're not in love with
- 3:51the process.
- 3:52Speaker 3: A true hunter's Oh, it's not the prize.
- 3:55Speaker 7: A true hunter's goal.
- 3:57Speaker 3: It's to hunt. That's what they live for. I live
- 4:00to hunt. They don't just live to catch it. It's
- 4:02the whole process.
- 4:04Speaker 7: When you are a true hunter, you don't.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Go by time. You'll go buy the gazelle. When you
- 4:08are a true hunter.
- 4:09Speaker 6: You hunt until you get a gazelle, and you don't.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Stop until you get one, and then.
- 4:13Speaker 6: You get another, and then you get another, and you
- 4:16get another.
- 4:17Speaker 7: If you gonna do what you say you're gonna do,
- 4:19be what you say you're gonna be.
- 4:20Speaker 6: You're gonna have to lie in me out you are Gazel.
- 4:23Speaker 3: You're gonna come up short. You will, Gazel. You're gonna
- 4:25have an average experience. You're a student that needs you
- 4:28in Lion mode. You're an entrepreneur. I need you in
- 4:31lion mode. You trying to lose weight Lion mode.
- 4:33Speaker 6: You can't do nothing significant in Gazel mode. Nothing nothing
- 4:37impressive happens in Gazel mode. Nothing happened in run mode,
- 4:41give up mode, quit mode, scared mode, fearful mode.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Nothing happened. Everything happened in lion mode. Like I'm coming
- 4:47to get.
- 4:48Speaker 8: You, all right, alright, alright, So anyone that knows, like
- 5:14I say, I always do a mental health check in
- 5:16before I start any show, any episode, So check in
- 5:22with me.
- 5:22Speaker 1: How are y'all feeling today, Happy Tuesday. It is the
- 5:26fourth of the month of March. How are y'all doing
- 5:30so far? So there's my sister, Hey, sus it's good
- 5:33to see you, baby. I miss you and I love
- 5:35you so much. She says she's doing okay. But like
- 5:40I say, it's imperative that I do these mental health
- 5:42check ins before the start of every show simply because
- 5:48I want to know how you're feeling. You know, we're
- 5:51three months into the new year. Some people are just
- 5:57they here, and then you got some people that are
- 5:59just they hear you know, But it doesn't take but
- 6:03a moment for you to stop and check on someone.
- 6:05Shoot them a text, uh, just ask them how they're doing.
- 6:08You never know. A smile, a hug, a conversation, just
- 6:12a simple message could change any person's day. But like
- 6:18I said, this is not going to be a very
- 6:19long episode. Just want to kind of bring y'all up
- 6:23to speed on what we're going to be discussing for
- 6:25the month of March. So for the month of March,
- 6:29y'all do know that it is Women's National Women's History
- 6:33Monk and I did this last year and I spoke
- 6:37on some of the most amazing influential Black women that
- 6:41some people may or may not have heard of. So
- 6:43I want to run that back again this year because
- 6:46I did get a good response. A lot of people say,
- 6:49you know what these we were, You know, women that
- 6:51you spoke about we knew nothing about. You know, they're
- 6:55They're familiar with the Correta Scotts. They're familiar with the
- 6:57Michelle Obamas and the Beyonces and the Vola Davis's. But
- 7:01I myself personally wanted to bring in spotlight some of
- 7:06the forgotten gems, some of the forgotten influencial Black women
- 7:11in our community. So just to name a few that
- 7:14we're gonna be discussing this month, I have Fanny new Hammer,
- 7:17Audrey Lord. Oh my gosh, all the information I found
- 7:22about Audree laud was just nothing short of amazing. I
- 7:26also have Sarah Randolph Brayley, who was one of the
- 7:33first African American women in Girl Scouts who created her
- 7:37own troop. But again, as the month goes on, we
- 7:40will get into that and I'm gonna bring you all
- 7:42the information and history and story behind these women and
- 7:46the reason why I selected these women to discuss for
- 7:49the month of March. Also coming in April, like I say,
- 7:55we will be discussing Sexual Assault Awareness Month. I know
- 8:03that is a very tender subject. I know that is
- 8:05a very triggering subject for some, but it's an imperative conversation.
- 8:11We're seeing an increase of sexual assault violence against black
- 8:15women and black men, but it's never talked about, it's
- 8:19never discussed. So I'm here to bring those types of
- 8:22conversations to the forefront, whether they be uncomfortable, whether you
- 8:26want to talk about them or not, but it is
- 8:27time for us to start addressing the elephant in the room.
- 8:32Also in the month of April, or if I could
- 8:35squeeze something in for the month of March, if not,
- 8:39I do want to discuss self hatred. I've gotten with
- 8:43a couple of people on the back end who had
- 8:47brought me a couple of stories. One in particular, there's
- 8:49a young man who was just he unfortunately lost his
- 8:54life at the hands of a white woman. All I'm
- 9:00gonna say to that before we even get into that subject,
- 9:04please stop disrespecting black women. Please stop running to black
- 9:10women whenever your back's against the wall, and then the
- 9:14moment you're out of danger, you want to run away
- 9:17from us, You drag us, you disrespect us. I don't
- 9:19like that. I'm gonna say this, and you're tak it
- 9:23for what it is, don't put down black women just
- 9:28to justify why you like to date outside your race.
- 9:30I'm not a racist by no means, so let me
- 9:32go ahead and put that out there. But I don't
- 9:35like the fact that I hear black men in particular
- 9:40that put down Black women to justify why they like
- 9:43to date outside their race. If that's what you like,
- 9:45my baby, that's what you're like, period, point blank. But
- 9:48we're gonna get into that conversation later on down the road.
- 9:52But that's just an example of some of the conversations
- 9:55that I am gonna be into the forefront. Self hate
- 9:57is real. Colorism still exists. Again, you have incests, there's
- 10:04more less station. There are women out here that have
- 10:08been violated by family members and have had babies. You
- 10:12know that they were forced to keep these children. So
- 10:17those are different types of conversations that we are gonna
- 10:20start having on Black Girl Interrupted. Again, these are imperative conversations.
- 10:25These are conversations that we must have. These are conversations
- 10:28that are needed to have in order for us to heal,
- 10:31because all we're doing right now is we're just passing
- 10:34on We're just passing down generational trauma. At what part
- 10:38do we stop that at? What part do we bring
- 10:40and put it into it so as not to keep
- 10:42bleeding on the future generation and the generations to come.
- 10:47So I had a conversation with a couple of people,
- 10:53and in the midst of me putting my episodes together,
- 10:56I kind of pull people, Hey, what do you think
- 10:58about this? What do y'all think about that? And they're
- 11:01all on board. So these uncomfortable conversations are about to
- 11:06come into fruition. So if you are easily triggered, I
- 11:11advise that you do not tune in. But again, this
- 11:15platform is for us to heal. This platform is for
- 11:17us to have these types of conversations because again, and
- 11:20I'm gonna say this over and over and over and
- 11:23over and over again, I'm sick of seeing podcasts, or
- 11:26I'm sick of seeing clips, shows, reels, whatever you want
- 11:29to call it, of them, of these gender wars saying
- 11:33black women, ain't this black man? I'm sick of that.
- 11:36It's time for us to start having healthy conversations. It's
- 11:39time for us to start addressing elephants that are in
- 11:41the room. It's time for us to start pushing the envelope.
- 11:44It's time for us to start pulling these band aids back.
- 11:46It's time for us to be free. So in order
- 11:49to be free, we have to have these conversations, like
- 11:51it's in parenting. No matter how much you guys want
- 11:55to run and duck and dodge, but we have to
- 11:57have these conversations. It's imperatives in a black community. That's
- 12:02not to say it doesn't happen in other communities. But
- 12:06the only community that I'm that I'm concerning right now
- 12:08are the ones that look like me. Please like I say,
- 12:11take that how you will. But again, I'm trying to
- 12:15cut off the generational trauma. I'm trying to stop my
- 12:19children from passing on to their children. I don't want
- 12:23to see anyone else keep passing it on throughout their families.
- 12:26I'm trying to set the bar for black men and
- 12:28black women. I really want people to see that we
- 12:32can really truly have intellectual conversations without all the drama,
- 12:37that we can really sit down and listen to one another,
- 12:39without all the no no no no and you this
- 12:42and black men a'th this and black women ache. I
- 12:44don't want all of that over here. I want nothing
- 12:47but positive vibes. Positive energy. That's all I want over
- 12:51here on Black Girl Interrupted, and that's all we're gonna
- 12:54have a So that is what's to come from March,
- 12:59and again what's to come in April and other comment
- 13:03you know, other conversations that we're gonna have. Anyone that
- 13:07is interested. I should have posted it. It's not too
- 13:10late for me to do it. Let me put it up. Hey,
- 13:12sus they're on my sister kim. Let me tell y'all,
- 13:16anybody that is looking for someone to do graphics, tap
- 13:19in with this lady right here. I shouted her out
- 13:23last weekend last week, but I'm shouting her out again today.
- 13:26Tap in with her. If you go to my page,
- 13:28I shared some of her work. Tap in with her
- 13:32for all your graphic needs. When I tell you, this
- 13:34lady is the Bob, she is the bomb in. Her
- 13:36turnaround time is nothing short of amazing. She does communicate
- 13:42once you submit your order and if you do have
- 13:45any questions. She's not hard to she's not hard to
- 13:47catch up with. She's not a scammer, she's not a booster,
- 13:50she's not any of that. Again, anybody that I promote
- 13:55on this podcast is someone that I personally personally know
- 14:00and may or may not have done business with them.
- 14:02But I would never send you to anybody that I
- 14:04know has ill intentions. So tap in with my girl Kim.
- 14:08Like I say, that's that's my dog. I love her
- 14:11to death, and like I say, her work is nothing
- 14:14short of amazing. Okay, all right, So that's that's the
- 14:20kicker of the conversations. Let me shout out to everybody

- 29:42most healthy and respectful way, you understand, because I don't
- 29:48want to offend anybody without offending anybody, if that makes sense.
- 29:54Y'all know me. Y'all know I don't mind shaking the table.
- 29:56Y'all know I don't y'all know. I don't mind having
- 29:59those on comfortable conversations, but some people ain't ready for that.

- 30:26therapy over Here's therapeutic over here because I created this

- 30:35was created to help, not hinder. This space was created
- 30:40for us to be able to vent, for us to
- 30:42be able to unpack everything that we've dealt with, everything
- 30:46that we're dealing with, even if it's just the date.

- 35:37it into me, you know, shout out to my sister

- 36:03play some church music. I mean, I may can't play
- 36:06the song, but I could probably play the instrumental. But
- 36:09I think somebody needs some prayer. I think somebody right
- 36:12now that is watching need some prayer. I think somebody
- 36:15right now was standing in the midst of their biggest
- 36:16storm and they need some prayer. I think somebody right
- 36:19now needs to be encouraged. And I think that somebody
- 36:21may be me. You understand, because a lot of times
- 36:25I'm talking to y'all, but I really be talking to me.
- 36:29I really really. I don't think y'all understand how much
- 36:35I love doing this. I don't think y'all understand how
- 36:39much I love being able to encourage somebody even when
- 36:43I'm going through my own storms. I don't think y'all
- 36:45understand my purpose and the gift that God has given
- 36:51to me. Let me not even go down now, because
- 36:53maybe y'all know. Once I start, I don't stop. Hey girl,
- 36:57Hey miss Tanya. I hope you're feeling good. Girl. I
- 37:00hope you're feeling better. But I think it's somebody right now.
- 37:08They're not gonna say, but somebody. Somebody's in the in
- 37:13their biggest thorm right now. Somebody is and somebody don't
- 37:18know what to do. So yeah, tomorrow night, Yeah, yeah,
- 37:23this is what we're doing. Tomorrow, that's what we're doing.
- 37:26We're gonna go to church. We're gonna go to church.
- 37:31I'm gonna send down tonight, excuse me. And I'm gonna
- 37:35pull a couple of verses that I've passed on to
- 37:39other people, just to encourage somebody, just to empower somebody,
- 37:46just to uplift somebody, because I know things. It could
- 37:49be difficult. I know it may seem like all the
- 37:56roads are dead ends, but I just I just want
- 38:00somebody to know it's not. It's not probably. Oh yeah,
- 38:06we're gonna church tomorrow, we are. I'm gonna bring my cleenics,
- 38:10my tissues like I always do. Oh miss time, she says,

- 38:28because we wake up every day and we're tired. We
- 38:35just don't know how we're gonna do it. But I
- 38:38want someone to know, Baby, stay encouraged, stay in power,
- 38:42stay uplifted, because regardless of what man says, God says differently,
- 38:50whatever man gave to you, God will give it to
- 38:52your ten times bigger and better. Let me not even
- 38:55go down there because y'all know, y'all know. Once I
