Speaker 1: and everybody, you know, if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
0:10
Speaker 1: what's up. It's Laura L. Rosa and this is the
0:13
Speaker 1: latest with Lauren L. Rosa.
0:15
Speaker 2: This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment,
0:19
Speaker 2: news and all of the conversations that shake the room.
0:22
Speaker 1: So we are back on the go again.
0:25
Speaker 2: I am currently traveling back down the coast here in Ghana.
0:29
Speaker 2: We went it's about like a three hour drive depending
0:34
Speaker 2: on the traffic. We went up the coast to the
0:37
Speaker 2: Cape Coast Castle, which a lot of people visit when
0:41
Speaker 2: they come here to Ghana.
0:43
Speaker 1: UH though this castle.
0:44
Speaker 2: There's a few different castles that you can visit, but
0:46
Speaker 2: the Cape Coast Castle has.
0:48
Speaker 1: The door of no return.
0:50
Speaker 2: I can't even put it into words yet and I'm
0:52
Speaker 2: a wait to do so. But we were able to
0:56
Speaker 2: experience a tour of I wanna call it a castle again.
1:02
Speaker 2: But our tour guy UH ride By Kohan Uh, who
1:06
Speaker 2: is a very.
1:08
Speaker 1: Well known ride by here.
1:10
Speaker 2: He does a lot of the tours at the castle,
1:12
Speaker 2: especially when you know a lot of like prominent UH
1:15
Speaker 2: leaders and you know different UH political people and civil
1:19
Speaker 2: rights activists come in to the country. He does a
1:22
Speaker 2: lot of work with making sure that uh, black people
1:26
Speaker 2: in America are connecting with Ghana and the way that
1:30
Speaker 2: they should, and and just understanding our history the way
1:32
Speaker 2: that we should and kind of where y y'all know,
1:35
Speaker 2: we we learn on And I'll sai when I say y'all,
1:37
Speaker 2: I'm talking to everyone listening to the podcast, but black
1:40
Speaker 2: people specifically, I think, not evenythink I know, in America
1:45
Speaker 2: we learn black history so different than what I've experienced
1:50
Speaker 2: in real life here, not even just history, but also
1:52
Speaker 2: black present. So going to the castle today, we talked
1:56
Speaker 2: a lot, of course, you know about the slave trade
1:59
Speaker 2: and and you know black people uh being taken uh
2:04
Speaker 2: by boat and brought all brought over across the waters.
2:08
Speaker 1: And you know what that looked like.
2:10
Speaker 2: We we literally went into like dungeon areas like yeah,
2:15
Speaker 2: and as he was describing, like you know these and
2:18
Speaker 2: and we're literally sitting in these dungeons that are pitch black.
2:20
Speaker 2: Because we also got there kind of late because of
2:22
Speaker 2: the traffic, so the the sun was going down, we
2:25
Speaker 2: got to really experience what it would have been like,
2:30
Speaker 2: not comparable of course to actually what these people went through,
2:33
Speaker 2: but just putting yourself in that room as literally the
2:38
Speaker 2: sun is going down in its pitch back, barely any
2:42
Speaker 2: access to outside, barely any fresh air. Like it was
2:46
Speaker 2: to a point in one of the rooms, and I
2:48
Speaker 2: didn't even know what was happening, but I started getting like, dizzey.
2:51
Speaker 2: I'm like, y'all gotta sit down. I can't imagine being
2:53
Speaker 2: in these rooms.
2:54
Speaker 1: I think.
2:55
Speaker 2: Uh Rabbi told us sometimes people would be there like
2:58
Speaker 2: there w there's there's one uh place where they would
3:00
Speaker 2: put people when you were sentenced uh to death by starvation,
3:05
Speaker 2: And he said, you know, depending on your fight. Because
3:07
Speaker 2: one of the things that we talked a lot about was,
3:09
Speaker 2: you know, people, I especially us in America, we are
3:12
Speaker 2: taught slavery as if depending on who's teaching it to you.
3:15
Speaker 2: And I think that's why the critical race theory conversation
3:18
Speaker 2: is so important. But we are taught about our history
3:23
Speaker 2: and about slavery. And you guys will hear the cars
3:25
Speaker 2: and stuff, cause we're literally driving down the coast. You
3:28
Speaker 2: might turning the radio down a bit. We're literally driving
3:32
Speaker 2: down the coast. So we're driving through like the city
3:34
Speaker 2: and there's like markets and stuff like that. So you
3:36
Speaker 2: hear the cars and all of that, but I wanted
3:38
Speaker 2: to make sure I got this to you guys.
3:39
Speaker 1: In real time. But we're taught, we're taught things just
3:43
Speaker 1: so differently.
3:44
Speaker 2: Like a lot of times, the conversation around slavery and
3:48
Speaker 2: what we went through is about how we just conformed.
3:52
Speaker 2: And I mean, if you've ever been taught the lessons
3:54
Speaker 2: that you should have been taught about h A. And
3:57
Speaker 2: I mean there's even movies and and stuff at this
3:59
Speaker 2: point about how that is not true. Coming to Ghana
4:03
Speaker 2: and going to uh, the castle that we just went to,
4:06
Speaker 2: which he called not n I mean I would call
4:08
Speaker 2: it like a dungeon.
4:09
Speaker 1: It was like a prison.
4:10
Speaker 2: It was a a place that you went to literally,
4:13
Speaker 2: uh most who die be raped. It w it's it
4:17
Speaker 2: was very heavy. So it's just ironic that it's called
4:20
Speaker 2: a castle. But we're taught that we kind of just
4:24
Speaker 2: like laid down and took that and that is not
4:28
Speaker 2: the the case. Like he the Rabbi was telling us
4:31
Speaker 2: that that room that I was mentioning where people were
4:33
Speaker 2: put to die by starvation depending on your crime.
4:37
Speaker 1: Sometimes you wouldn't even know your sentencing.
4:39
Speaker 2: Right because they're if people are speaking different languages, so
4:43
Speaker 2: you don't even know what you're being sentenced to and why,
4:46
Speaker 2: but you know that you're being put there because you're
4:47
Speaker 2: not gonna make it back out. And depending on your strength,
4:51
Speaker 2: some people would be able to last for forty eight
4:52
Speaker 2: hours ninety days. These are starving people who could have
4:57
Speaker 2: just decided to you know what, suicide I you know, I,
5:01
Speaker 2: I'm I can't take this. But they wanted to fight
5:05
Speaker 2: to be here and to try and make it out.
5:08
Speaker 2: And when he was taking us through the tour, I
5:12
Speaker 2: j I thought that it was just like genius of
5:15
Speaker 2: him to talk to us in a way where we
5:18
Speaker 2: really understood that and what that experience was in a
5:21
Speaker 2: different way than you're.
5:22
Speaker 1: Taught in the States. I will tell you that, like,
5:24
Speaker 1: it's just different being here.
5:25
Speaker 2: And he's actually from Mount Vernon, New York, but he
5:28
Speaker 2: he's been living here in Ghana for some time. He
5:32
Speaker 2: said he left uh back in the nineties. He got
5:36
Speaker 2: tired of all of the protesting and you know, all
5:39
Speaker 2: the things. And look, I've recorded a lot of it
5:41
Speaker 2: and he knows that we'll be using it for the
5:42
Speaker 2: podcast to ask for permission. So you guys, will hear
5:44
Speaker 2: a lot of that, so we'll get to that. But
5:46
Speaker 2: he talked to us in a way where it was like, Okay,
5:49
Speaker 2: here's what happened.
5:50
Speaker 1: We're not going from from that, but if we being honest.
5:53
Speaker 2: Here's you know, here, here's what we were able to
5:57
Speaker 2: do from it or take from it, even though things
6:00
Speaker 2: were being taken from us literally including our our life.
6:03
Speaker 2: So even when we walk through the door and overturn,
6:05
Speaker 2: which was the door that they would walk through to
6:06
Speaker 2: then get put on the boats uh to then travel
6:09
Speaker 2: you know, across the waters to uh to places now
6:13
Speaker 2: they have it where you know, you walk back through
6:15
Speaker 2: the door and it's kind of like taking your power back.
6:18
Speaker 2: So you come in and you you learn all this
6:20
Speaker 2: deep lot of it dark uh history, but then you
6:23
Speaker 2: you walk out of there feeling like, alright, like nothing
6:28
Speaker 2: about my life and you know, me being here and
6:31
Speaker 2: the things that I'm trying to do in this world
6:33
Speaker 2: or am doing in this world can be taken lightly.
6:35
Speaker 2: It's just a sense of responsibility. It's it's like a
6:37
Speaker 2: I can't describe it. But you guys will get to
6:39
Speaker 2: uh hear parts of that tour in the next episode,
6:43
Speaker 2: So make sure you guys stay tuned for that. But
6:46
Speaker 2: just wanted to come in and let you guys know

8:44
Speaker 2: flabbergastid y'all. Taylor Rooks broadcaster, media personality, sportscaster.
8:51
Speaker 1: The tailor Rooks.
8:53
Speaker 2: I think all of us you know, the black girls
8:55
Speaker 2: and media, and you know and reporting reroot so much
8:58
Speaker 2: for Taylor Rooks, as we do a lot of the
9:00
Speaker 2: other girls, the Joy Taylor's, the Carrie Champions, the Jamel Hills,
9:04
Speaker 2: all of the girls. Especially you know me, because I
9:07
Speaker 2: am not a sports I am not a sports reporter.
9:10
Speaker 2: I can get a concept of a story in sports
9:13
Speaker 2: as it relates to culture and entertainment. But y'all be
9:16
Speaker 2: hearing me when I get through, you know what I mean.
9:17
Speaker 2: I do my sports stories on the Breakfast Club here
9:19
Speaker 2: on the podcast. I try and sick to what I'm
9:21
Speaker 2: good at, but sometimes the world's intertwined, so I dibble
9:24
Speaker 2: and I dabble. But those girls are so good. They
9:26
Speaker 2: know the facts, the numbers. They're hard at work, they're
9:30
Speaker 2: at the games, they're traveling or doing all the things.
9:32
Speaker 2: But what I love so much about what just happened
9:35
Speaker 2: with Tayler Rooks and the fact that she is married.
9:38
Speaker 2: She announced yesterday via her Instagram that she is married.
9:44
Speaker 1: I didn't even know she was engaged. I assumed she
9:47
Speaker 1: was dating.
9:47
Speaker 2: She's gorgeous, she's successful, she's young, you know what I mean,
9:51
Speaker 2: So of course I assume she was dating but because
9:54
Speaker 2: we had never seen anything or heard anything about who
9:58
Speaker 2: she was dating, I did not know she was dating
10:01
Speaker 2: serious enough to be engaged and now married. So yesterday
10:05
Speaker 2: Taylor Rooks took to her Instagram to post photos from
10:09
Speaker 2: her wedding. I would say it was a surprise wedding,
10:12
Speaker 2: but baby, it's given. Well only we were surprised, so
10:15
Speaker 2: many other people knew. So she posted the photos and
10:19
Speaker 2: she captioned it, what a night. This is love with
10:23
Speaker 2: the wedding ring emoji. Now in these photos you see
10:26
Speaker 2: her and her new hubby under her veil. Then there's
10:29
Speaker 2: photos of her by herself walking down the aisle. There's
10:32
Speaker 2: photos of Taylor Rooks and new hubby. She's holding up
10:35
Speaker 2: her wedding ring, a diamond okay, it's a diamond, Okay.
10:39
Speaker 2: The girl the rocket sitting nice, but she has her
10:42
Speaker 2: hand on her hubby's face looks like it's like a
10:45
Speaker 2: photo booth picture from after the wedding, from the reception,
10:49
Speaker 2: and then there's photos of her and just like.
10:51
Speaker 1: The people who attend it.
10:52
Speaker 2: And I think that's what's most impressive is the fact
10:55
Speaker 2: that not only was it private and very.
10:59
Speaker 1: Intimate, and you know when you're in the public eye.
11:01
Speaker 2: You don't get to not share moments like these much
11:04
Speaker 2: because sometimes even if you're trying to keep a private
11:06
Speaker 2: the people around you are so excited for you that
11:09
Speaker 2: they want to tell the world. And in boom, here
11:11
Speaker 2: you go. Everybody knows you engage, you married, you got
11:13
Speaker 2: a man, You gotta this, you gotta that right. The
11:16
Speaker 2: guest list was five star, and she still managed to
11:20
Speaker 2: be able to keep this wedding private. In attendance, there
11:24
Speaker 2: are photos of Mike Rubin, you know, music artist Jacque Harlow,
11:28
Speaker 2: Coco Jones, and her newly engaged fiance, Donovan Mitchell, who's
11:34
Speaker 2: NFL player, Saquon Barkley, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green.
11:40
Speaker 1: The people were in the building.
11:42
Speaker 2: Reports say that Taylor Rooks was married in New York,
11:45
Speaker 2: but I mean, I don't even know how we were
11:46
Speaker 2: confirming these reports because she didn't mention where she was married,
11:50
Speaker 2: So it's like, how do we even know that, we
11:52
Speaker 2: don't know anything, and it is so fire, Oh my god,
11:55
Speaker 2: congratulations and Taylor Rooks and her husband. There are little
11:59
Speaker 2: to no details known about her husband besides the photos
12:01
Speaker 2: that she posted, which I think are also dope.
12:05
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. It was just so fly.
12:07
Speaker 2: I'm one of the girls that I love to see
12:09
Speaker 2: the career girls, especially at a young age, have all
12:13
Speaker 2: of the things, do the family thing, have kids, have
12:17
Speaker 2: a husband, be happy in the marriage and actually having it.
12:21
Speaker 1: Last, but also be able to also be able.
12:25
Speaker 2: To, like you know, adamantly go after your career and
12:28
Speaker 2: your goals and establish a life for yourself.
12:30
Speaker 1: You know.
12:31
Speaker 2: And there's nothing wrong with this, right Like, there are
12:33
Speaker 2: women who you know, their lives and their careers and
12:37
Speaker 2: their names revolve around the men in their lives, their husbands,
12:41
Speaker 2: their kids, fathers. I'm not knocking nobody, But what I'm
12:44
Speaker 2: saying is is that my personal preference has always been
12:46
Speaker 2: for myself to be like, Look, I'm going to be
12:49
Speaker 2: in love, I'm going to be married, I'm going to
12:52
Speaker 2: have children. I'm going to have the big wedding, the
12:56
Speaker 2: fairytale wedding.
12:57
Speaker 1: You know.
12:58
Speaker 2: I want that for myself. And you know, I want
13:01
Speaker 2: my mother and my grandmother and my niece and you know,
13:03
Speaker 2: the people I love to be able to see me
13:05
Speaker 2: be loved correctly. But I've always been worried, like, Okay,
13:08
Speaker 2: at some point in my career there's going to be
13:11
Speaker 2: a conversation about you're a woman, so what about family?
13:14
Speaker 1: What about marriage? What about this? What about that? And
13:17
Speaker 1: I don't want my career.
13:18
Speaker 2: And the work that I've worked for to be tied
13:21
Speaker 2: to my relationship or my husband, not even not tied too.
13:24
Speaker 2: I don't mind that because me and my man so
13:27
Speaker 2: equally yoked. That's what it's always going to be, given, right,
13:31
Speaker 2: But more so I don't want that to overshadow my work.
13:35
Speaker 2: Every single day I'm working like harder to get better
13:38
Speaker 2: at what I do and what I do and even
13:40
Speaker 2: what Tayler Rooks does or you know, Jamel Hill, and
13:43
Speaker 2: you know, all of the women shoot shout out the
13:46
Speaker 2: stat baby.
13:47
Speaker 1: On Kim and Mason's It Is What it Is.
13:49
Speaker 2: Me and her we've never met in person, We've tried
13:50
Speaker 2: to link up, but me and her have you know,
13:53
Speaker 2: become social media friends and watching her navigate her journey
13:57
Speaker 2: over you know, on It Is What it Is, while
13:59
Speaker 2: I'm here on Fast Club and you know what you
14:01
Speaker 2: guys on the latest with Laurena The Roads of the
14:02
Speaker 2: podcast has been a journey and we both always, you know,
14:06
Speaker 2: say to each other that.
14:07
Speaker 1: Everything's just moving so crazy.
14:09
Speaker 2: So to see the girls have it all and be
14:11
Speaker 2: able to establish it all, but not have everything centered
14:15
Speaker 2: around or the conversation centered around your relationship status or
14:20
Speaker 2: what's happening in your womb. But more about the hard
14:23
Speaker 2: work that you're putting in, the points you're putting on
14:25
Speaker 2: the board, the great interviews you're doing, the great content
14:28
Speaker 2: you're putting out, the efficiency of all those things.
14:31
Speaker 1: That matters to me.
14:32
Speaker 2: I can't speak for any of the other women that
14:34
Speaker 2: I just mentioned, but that matters a lot to me,
14:38
Speaker 2: a whole lot. So I thought the way that Taylor
14:40
Speaker 2: Rooks went about this was superfly, number one superfly.
14:44
Speaker 1: And I just thought it was dope.
14:46
Speaker 2: I thought it was fired or see her, you know,
14:48
Speaker 2: walk down the aisle and celebrate and do all these.
14:51
Speaker 1: Things, and we had no idea it was happening.
14:54
Speaker 2: And it wasn't nothing little about this wedding, baby, this
14:57
Speaker 2: was big Tailor Rooks, big wedding. Okay, guess let's crazy
15:00
Speaker 2: set up on the wedding looked amazing. It looked literally
15:03
Speaker 2: like a fair tale wedding. She looked beautiful as well.
15:05
Speaker 2: So congratulations, assist, we see you girl.
15:08
Speaker 1: You did that. You ate that?
15:10
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, putting it on the Pinterest board, not in
15:14
Speaker 2: other news.
15:15
Speaker 1: Today, we having a conversation about women in sports.
15:17
Speaker 2: Look at me trying to be you know, all in
15:19
Speaker 2: the women in sports conversation, Clarissa Shields will be fighting
15:23
Speaker 2: this weekend in Detroit. She's fighting Lonnie Daniels and Clarissa
15:28
Speaker 2: Shields is she's been. I met her at the Breakfast

Speaker 2: back to the Breakfast Club again, which I wasn't in
15:41
Speaker 2: the interview for, but she talked about wanting to be
15:45
Speaker 2: a mom in both of those interviews and what that
15:48
Speaker 2: looked like.
15:48
Speaker 1: You know, we're having a conversation about.
15:50
Speaker 2: Women with very demanding and big careers being able to
15:54
Speaker 2: go on and do all of the things right. I
15:57
Speaker 2: definitely think of Clarissa because I've been watching her journey
16:00
Speaker 2: since meeting her here on the Breakfast Club when she
16:03
Speaker 2: was promoting her movie The Fire Inside that came out
16:06
Speaker 2: on Christmas of twenty twenty four, which stars Ryan Destiny
16:09
Speaker 2: and it's the story of Clarisa Shield's life One of
16:12
Speaker 2: the things I was thinking about when I was talking
16:14
Speaker 2: to her was just her sport is so physical, and
16:18
Speaker 2: being able to have a kid and establish a family
16:21
Speaker 2: and all those things also requires a lot of your
16:23
Speaker 2: physical as well. So I've always wondered what that exerience
16:26
Speaker 2: was going to be like for her. Like for instance,
16:28
Speaker 2: Clarissa Shields was on The Pivot, which is you know,
16:31
Speaker 2: the show with Ryan Clark all the guys, and she
16:34
Speaker 2: talks about not even being able to have sex before
16:36
Speaker 2: the fight because of the way that an orgasm affects
16:39
Speaker 2: a woman versus a band.
16:40
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.
16:41
Speaker 3: When it comes to sex, right, men and women may
16:43
Speaker 3: look at it different. Women have something called orgasms, and
16:47
Speaker 3: when women have that.
16:48
Speaker 1: It takes a lot out of you.
16:50
Speaker 3: I'm training two or three times a day. I don't
16:52
Speaker 3: got time to be trying to force myself to work
16:55
Speaker 3: out because I had a you know, orgastiny. I would
16:58
Speaker 3: rather keep everything in And I feel like to me,
17:02
Speaker 3: I feel like it helps me be more prepared for
17:04
Speaker 3: the fight. And when you go without you know, sex,
17:06
Speaker 3: and I mean you guys are men, it do make
17:09
Speaker 3: you be a bit more aggressive and you can lift
17:12
Speaker 3: more weights and you can squat more weight and everything.
17:15
Speaker 1: It's the same thing for me. That's a lesson to
17:18
Speaker 1: you young boys out there, women too.
17:20
Speaker 2: And then hear her talk about this, my first thought
17:22
Speaker 2: is is like, how long does Cloissa Shields have to
17:25
Speaker 2: go without sex? Because she's never specified she said just
17:28
Speaker 2: before a fight.
17:29
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, how long?
17:31
Speaker 2: And how does that work when you're trying to have
17:33
Speaker 2: a kid, miss of your career fights coming up, like,
17:37
Speaker 2: it's just a lot to balance. I feel for anybody
17:40
Speaker 2: who things are growing, you have a lot to balance
17:42
Speaker 2: because y'all know we started this podcast in the midst
17:45
Speaker 2: of so much.
17:46
Speaker 1: Growing and moving.
17:47
Speaker 2: For me, the Latest with Lorna Rosa has been not
17:49
Speaker 2: just a podcast and entertainment news and training topics, but
17:52
Speaker 2: you guys have grown with me through a journey of
17:55
Speaker 2: all of the things since meeting me on the Breakfast Club.
17:58
Speaker 1: All of my low riders here.
18:00
Speaker 2: My soft spot for women in the Spotlight who are
18:02
Speaker 2: figuring all this stuff out is like no other cause
18:06
Speaker 2: I'm new here Spotlight to I ain't nowhere near Clarissa
18:08
Speaker 2: and what her like, you know what I mean, like,
18:10
Speaker 2: so I can't imagine is what I'm saying, and I
18:13
Speaker 2: think a lot of people right now, unfairly are having
18:17
Speaker 2: a conversation about distraction with Clarissa. I think a lot
18:20
Speaker 2: of people right now are having a conversation about women
18:24
Speaker 2: in any industry and across industries, and what they're able
18:26
Speaker 2: to do, and what they're able to balance and what
18:28
Speaker 2: they're able to not balance. And this episode, you know,
18:32
Speaker 2: when I was putting it together and I was thinking
18:33
Speaker 2: about what we could do, you know, an extensions to
18:35
Speaker 2: everything that was trending today, the first thing I thought
18:37
Speaker 2: about is men and the girls is.
18:39
Speaker 1: Having it all.
18:40
Speaker 2: Okay, they got their men by their side, they got
18:43
Speaker 2: the business deals popping. Clarissa is dropping music and she
18:46
Speaker 2: previewed it last night in Detroit.
18:49
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to.
18:50
Speaker 2: Is really short, but we got a snippet of one
18:52
Speaker 2: of her songs.
18:53
Speaker 1: Okay, what's up?
18:56
Speaker 3: Some people say, I'm an killer? How thin the shots
18:59
Speaker 3: to the her man want to take me in? And
19:02
Speaker 3: then I call him, what's the name? I know you nervous?
19:08
Speaker 2: And baby the girls is coming for all of it,
19:11
Speaker 2: all of it. So with this being said, I want
19:15
Speaker 2: to take y'all to the streets for the tree be outside.
19:18
Speaker 1: We outside. We outside. Okay, every other page.
19:23
Speaker 2: Because another thing that went down yesterday in the midst
19:26
Speaker 2: of the conversation of the girls having it all, people
19:31
Speaker 2: were so sad that Taylor Rooks popped out Mary like,
19:36
Speaker 2: I know the men be on the girls with the
19:38
Speaker 2: things going on, but by b where they said, somebody
19:43
Speaker 2: said el Brothers. Media on X said, not only did
19:46
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson pull Magde Stallion, but a light skin and
19:49
Speaker 2: word with waves just married Taylor Rooks. We up, it's
19:52
Speaker 2: our time, baby. Twenty twenty five is the year of
19:55
Speaker 2: the page brotherhood, laugh aloud.
19:57
Speaker 1: The light Skins is outside, That's what it's given.
20:01
Speaker 2: Corosier Kid said, we lost Coco Jones, Meg and Taylor
20:05
Speaker 2: Rooks all in a two month spin with a sad
20:08
Speaker 2: face emoji. Shout out to keV Coke six on X.
20:13
Speaker 2: Let's send him some love, y'all. He tweeted, and he said,
20:16
Speaker 2: I just opened up IG and saw Taylor Rooks got married.
20:19
Speaker 2: Please respect my privacy at this time because these were
20:23
Speaker 2: the baths, these were the bays of the sports industry.
20:25
Speaker 2: Corosa Shields gets it. Taylor Rooks gets it, I understand,
20:30
Speaker 2: but I think that is crazy too. I wrote this
20:32
Speaker 2: line down when I was prepping for this episode. I
20:36
Speaker 2: really think it's crazy how big the conversation gets around
20:40
Speaker 2: women who choose to have it all this. Serena Williams
20:43
Speaker 2: went through this too when she decided to have her baby,
20:46
Speaker 2: her daughter, her first daughter with her husband Alexis, and
20:49
Speaker 2: Venus Williams announced her engagement at the same time that
20:53
Speaker 2: since made history. At forty five years old, Venus Williams
20:56
Speaker 2: became the second oldest woman to win a tour level man.
21:00
Speaker 1: According to ESPN.
21:02
Speaker 2: She took this from a woman who was the oldest
21:05
Speaker 2: woman at the time in two thousand and four, she
21:08
Speaker 2: was aged forty seven who won Wimbledon. I say that
21:12
Speaker 2: to say, guess what headline lasted longer out of the too.
21:16
Speaker 2: Venus Williams announces she is engaged. People be so surprised
21:20
Speaker 2: to see women have all of the things. When you're
21:21
Speaker 2: successful in your career is loud Naomi Osaka. People give
21:25
Speaker 2: it to her really, really hard whenever she doesn't win
21:28
Speaker 2: or doesn't perform at two hundred percent. I've even seen
21:32
Speaker 2: people openly say, you know, online, she shouldn't have had
21:35
Speaker 2: a kid at the height of her career. When the
21:37
Speaker 2: girls do finally get to have all the things. The
21:39
Speaker 2: way that we have conversations about them. It's so different
21:42
Speaker 2: than how we have it about men, completely different.
21:45
Speaker 1: And I get it. Babies don't come out of men's bodies.
21:48
Speaker 1: I get it.
21:49
Speaker 2: You know, women and men have different roles in marriages,
21:52
Speaker 2: and how do you know the marriages change what they're
21:54
Speaker 2: able to do outside of the home, And you know,
21:57
Speaker 2: just I understand the double standards, but I do feel
22:00
Speaker 2: like this is the era of the women being able
22:03
Speaker 2: to stand next to a partner who understands our power.
22:05
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, take back our power, but it's
22:07
Speaker 1: not even that.
22:07
Speaker 2: It's standing next to the right person who understands your
22:09
Speaker 2: power so that you can have all things. Because the
22:12
Speaker 2: balance that you're going to need to learn both mentally
22:15
Speaker 2: and physically, that partner sitting next to you. Baby, it
22:19
Speaker 2: ain't nothing, but it ain't nothing but a thing. So
22:23
Speaker 2: shout out to all the ladies. For some reason, we
22:25
Speaker 2: focus mostly on women in sports today, not even on purpose,
22:28
Speaker 2: but yes, shout out to.
22:30
Speaker 1: The ladies having all of the things.
22:33
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, there's always a lot
22:34
Speaker 2: to talk about, and I appreciate you guys. Being right
22:36
Speaker 2: here with me every episode to talk about it. By Lowriders.
22:40
Speaker 2: I will see you guys in my next episode.
