Speaker 1: will be bringing our Latin X tech podcasting one o
5:45
Speaker 1: one workshops to the community. We're gonna be hosting free
5:49
Speaker 1: podcasting one on one workshops at a ton like a
5:52
Speaker 1: whole mess of different l A Public Library branches throughout
5:54
Speaker 1: the city. Yeah, we're super excited. We're literally going to
5:57
Speaker 1: be all over l A County. Um, facilitating these workshops
6:02
Speaker 1: specifically for you if I mean, they're intended for all,
6:04
Speaker 1: but we're really really excited to be facilitating. Uh, we're
6:09
Speaker 1: with l A public library, Like we're l A girls
6:13
Speaker 1: would like I grew up at the library, Like my
6:15
Speaker 1: mom would take me there after school or somebody would
6:17
Speaker 1: take me there after school. It was amazing. Yeah, and
6:20
Speaker 1: I'm now I'm remembering. Uh, when I was in elementary school,
6:25
Speaker 1: my mom started working at my elementary school, and she
6:27
Speaker 1: was the librarian when she first started working there. So
6:30
Speaker 1: every time I would get in trouble for like giving
6:32
Speaker 1: my little boyfriend hickis or whatever. Like in the eighth grade,
6:35
Speaker 1: I had this boyfriend named Levi, who I recently started
6:37
Speaker 1: following again on Instagram anyway, so he was my first
6:40
Speaker 1: little boyfriend named Levi. And um, whenever we would have
6:43
Speaker 1: like school carnivals and stuff like you know, we would
6:46
Speaker 1: be making out behind the church or whatever. But my
6:48
Speaker 1: mother worked at the frigging school. So like I was
6:50
Speaker 1: constantly getting in trouble and my mom was like Zoe,
6:55
Speaker 1: like you can't do this, this is not doable. So anyways,
6:58
Speaker 1: we love the library for all over things. Yes, I
7:02
Speaker 1: remember when I was in high school, I used to
7:03
Speaker 1: make out with a girl. Yes, because I went to
7:07
Speaker 1: all girls school. It was like my intro to like
7:10
Speaker 1: little queeries. That was a baby queer. We would make
7:12
Speaker 1: up behind the libraries. So as you can see, libraries, librarians,
7:15
Speaker 1: they've just had a really important place in our lives.
7:18
Speaker 1: And that's why we can't wait for this. L A
7:20
Speaker 1: made series so exciting and also getting recognized as like
7:23
Speaker 1: l A bitches. Love it. It's amazing, Love it one
7:26
Speaker 1: time for the l A bitch anyways, So we're gonna
7:30
Speaker 1: be sharing those dates with you and those library branches
7:33
Speaker 1: um in the future. We are We're gonna be you know.
7:36
Speaker 1: We record here in boil Heights at EsPAS eighteen thirty
7:39
Speaker 1: nine at Radio Spaso. We love Radio Spasio, love boil Heights,
7:42
Speaker 1: and we will be hosting one of these podcasting workshops
7:45
Speaker 1: at the Benjamin Franklin Library. So hopefully that's one way
7:48
Speaker 1: that we can kind of give back to boil Heights
7:50
Speaker 1: because h has given so much to us. We appreciate it, agreed,
7:54
Speaker 1: So let's get into it. Let's get and chalk off
7:57
Speaker 1: beats the law Lada blah. So in case you haven't
8:03
Speaker 1: noticed yet. We want to talk about our actual photo
8:07
Speaker 1: shoot that we have behind it, the flyer, why it
8:10
Speaker 1: looks the way it does, like basically our theme. So
8:14
Speaker 1: we want to talk about yeah, the yes, yeah. So um.
8:20
Speaker 1: We on Friday for the launch of season three, we
8:23
Speaker 1: posted a flyer and it's we're calling our season three
8:26
Speaker 1: the theme, the energy, the mood, the vibe is right.
8:31
Speaker 1: And so initially when we were thinking about our photo shoots,
8:34
Speaker 1: we like to think about things conceptually, like what's the theme,
8:37
Speaker 1: what are we going for? Right, So we were just
8:40
Speaker 1: kind of like messing around on Pinterest and we started
8:42
Speaker 1: looking at all these beautiful, like vintage like golden era
8:46
Speaker 1: of Mexican cinema film posters, a lot of Maria Felix,
8:51
Speaker 1: Dolores del Rio, and we started noticing a trend how
8:55
Speaker 1: a lot of the posters had these really interesting sort
8:58
Speaker 1: of like labels for women as being dangerous, as being
9:02
Speaker 1: so for example, these are some of them, the vintage
9:06
Speaker 1: film posters that we saw that kind of let us
9:08
Speaker 1: down this path, right, one of them being love It.
9:13
Speaker 1: There's one called Secret Vampiro Espars in Fearless. So they're
9:27
Speaker 1: just we saw this theme like, oh, my God, Like
9:29
Speaker 1: there's this obsession with like the dangerous woman, the evil woman,
9:34
Speaker 1: the she devil like leading men astray or you know,
9:37
Speaker 1: like entrapping them somehow making men be a moral or
9:41
Speaker 1: something like that. And all these women are gorgeous and
9:43
Speaker 1: they're like very essential and provocative in their photos or
9:47
Speaker 1: they're drawing and they're in their devilish like seduction minister,
9:51
Speaker 1: and you know we're all about that, Like I want
9:53
Speaker 1: to morally corrupt every man on the planet blame me.
9:56
Speaker 1: I want all the credit. Let's go sense. So we
10:00
Speaker 1: really are like you know, because we do counter narrative
10:03
Speaker 1: and look up pistemologies. For us, look up pistemologies is
10:07
Speaker 1: all about counter narrative and taking these sorts of tropes
10:11
Speaker 1: and digging deeper and looking at once beneath it. What
10:14
Speaker 1: is the what is the nervousness about women being sexual? Right?
10:18
Speaker 1: How can we flip these narratives on their head and
10:21
Speaker 1: actually think about it? Well, what is this like from
10:24
Speaker 1: the woman's perspective? Right? What does it mean to be
10:28
Speaker 1: orta or a vampida? Even? Right? Like? What am I?
10:32
Speaker 1: What am I taking from you? What do you believe
10:35
Speaker 1: that I'm taking from you? Or that you're not getting right.
10:38
Speaker 1: Why am I so bad for you or to you? Right?
10:42
Speaker 1: Because that maybe I'm saying no absolutely, or maybe because
10:45
Speaker 1: I'm taking all of your money because I deserve it
10:49
Speaker 1: and it should be mine, I'll be That's that's cool.
10:52
Speaker 1: I could live with that. I can own that. So,
10:54
Speaker 1: you know, we want to explore the idea of the
10:56
Speaker 1: dangerous woman, the dangerous fem and they're sort of an
11:00
Speaker 1: escapism to to kind of embracing that that labeling. So
11:04
Speaker 1: we're we'res And our tagline for this season from Revenge
11:10
Speaker 1: never sounded so sweet, right, And I think the energy
11:13
Speaker 1: behind that is um. So much of what we do
11:16
Speaker 1: on Look At Radio on the podcast is that it's
11:19
Speaker 1: a knowledge share, right. It's a way for us to
11:21
Speaker 1: share resources, and that is one way for you to
11:24
Speaker 1: stay safe in any part of your life, right, I
11:27
Speaker 1: fear in an abusive relationship, if you're living in a
11:30
Speaker 1: toxic home, having these resources can actually save your life. Right.
11:34
Speaker 1: So knowing how to protect yourself right from defense, Knowing
11:38
Speaker 1: how to save money right is also a way to
11:40
Speaker 1: protect yourself. Knowing how to speak up right and actually
11:44
Speaker 1: speak your mind. These are are things that have not
11:46
Speaker 1: been afforded or taught to Latinas, especially growing up in
11:50
Speaker 1: very Catholic hombs. I know, not all Latinas are Catholic,
11:53
Speaker 1: but a lot of us are. UM. So that is
11:56
Speaker 1: the mood, and that is a theme behind from revenge right.
11:59
Speaker 1: Even live in your best life is revenge if it
12:02
Speaker 1: can be revenge on your haters, revenge on your abuser,
12:06
Speaker 1: you know, right. So UM. You know, we talk a
12:09
Speaker 1: lot about survivor issues, especially in seventeen so much as
12:14
Speaker 1: far as survivor disclosures, the me Too movement, the Time's
12:18
Speaker 1: Up movement, We've talked a lot about that, UM, but
12:21
Speaker 1: we've also talked about fem revenge right and fem revenge uh.
12:25
Speaker 1: In previous cup etles, we've talked about like Rihanna and
12:27
Speaker 1: Rihanna's music videos where she murders men, right, and she
12:32
Speaker 1: murders her rapist, right, she murders men that have wronged her.
12:34
Speaker 1: She's exacting revenge. So fem revenge never sounded so sweet.
12:38
Speaker 1: It's almost a type of escapism, right, This idea that
12:41
Speaker 1: we can imagine a world where we can actually fight back,
12:44
Speaker 1: where we can defend ourselves, we can exact revenge on
12:47
Speaker 1: the powers of the patriarchy rape culture much. He's more like,
12:51
Speaker 1: if we look at these golden era of Mexican cinema
12:54
Speaker 1: posters and we look at La, what was so perverse
12:58
Speaker 1: about her? Right? Or was she us speaking back against
13:01
Speaker 1: some bullshit? You know? So anyways, so that's the theme.
13:06
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna be talking about. We're gonna talk
13:09
Speaker 1: more about this theme about Labiabla after our song break,
13:13
Speaker 1: but before we get into our song break, we're gonna
13:15
Speaker 1: bring back a fund segment that we've really only done
13:18
Speaker 1: one time, done a handful of times, have we yes, Okay,
13:23
Speaker 1: we have, I'm misremembering. Do you want to introduce the segment? Yeah,
13:26
Speaker 1: So this is a kind of like sporadic segment that
13:29
Speaker 1: we have and it's called Weird Things White Women Did
13:32
Speaker 1: this Week. So we got one, luckily right before we
13:34
Speaker 1: started recording, literally right before so as you know, we
13:38
Speaker 1: recorded ball Hides at nine And we have noticed in
13:42
Speaker 1: the past few months year maybe um, that on Saturdays
13:47
Speaker 1: there are barrio tours, a lot a lot of barrio
13:50
Speaker 1: tours literally though their tours of white people that will
13:53
Speaker 1: walk around boil hides and get a tour of God
13:57
Speaker 1: knows what they're saying. But that's what's happening. And they're
14:00
Speaker 1: taking photos and they're maybe buying stuff. They're a la monaca,
14:04
Speaker 1: they're getting they're covered. Yeah yeah, yeah that was last
14:10
Speaker 1: sweet bread. So today today I was walking to my
14:14
Speaker 1: car and then there was a group of white people,
14:17
Speaker 1: like super white, like really white, and so I noticed
14:20
Speaker 1: them right away. They stood out, and they stand out,
14:23
Speaker 1: you know, and we know exactly why they're here the
14:25
Speaker 1: second I see you know, you see them. So I
14:28
Speaker 1: see them, and I was like, deal, So I look
14:29
Speaker 1: at this over here, and I'm walking to my car,
14:32
Speaker 1: and this white lady is taking pictures of the scenery.
14:34
Speaker 1: And I'm part of the sceneries. I mean, this white
14:37
Speaker 1: woman's pictures from her barrio touring boils. When they walked
14:41
Speaker 1: by me, I gave them the fuse. I'm part of
14:43
Speaker 1: the flora and the fauna. Now, so this has been
14:47
Speaker 1: weird things white women did this week? Oh no, I
14:49
Speaker 1: had one more. Always ahead, I always jump ahead. I'm
14:53
Speaker 1: just so excited about everything. Tell them what happened recently. Okay,
14:57
Speaker 1: So recently, I was speaking to a white woman and
15:00
Speaker 1: and she was telling me about how hard her day
15:03
Speaker 1: was she's like, oh, you know, like it's a really
15:05
Speaker 1: stressful day today. And she literally said to me, she
15:07
Speaker 1: was like, my help is out. My help is like
15:10
Speaker 1: can't work today, so I have to do all these
15:13
Speaker 1: things by myself, essentially picking up her kids from school
15:16
Speaker 1: and like feeding them. The help was her quote, help
15:20
Speaker 1: was busy. She's like, my help is out today because
15:22
Speaker 1: she's getting a colonoscopy and like she said it to
15:25
Speaker 1: me like that, and I'm like, bitch and she goes
15:27
Speaker 1: and her daughters can't even come and help me. So
15:30
Speaker 1: but the things that she had to do that we're
15:32
Speaker 1: so exhausting. We're picking up her kids from school and
15:34
Speaker 1: feeding them, and I'm like, witch, are you kidding me?
15:37
Speaker 1: I was more upset that she literally referred to this
15:39
Speaker 1: woman as help. She's like, my help, my help. So anyways,
15:42
Speaker 1: this now, this has been a conclusion. This has been
15:45

Speaker 1: any language is dominated by men. So I love when
18:12
Speaker 1: it's like new and young and like they're like breaking
18:15
Speaker 1: into the scene. It's always really exciting for me to
18:18
Speaker 1: see that, especially because I have a lot of the music.
18:20
Speaker 1: I listened to it in Spanish right, absolutely, absolutely the
18:24
Speaker 1: you know how I've been listening to a lot recently. Well.
18:27
Speaker 1: The only CD that I carry in my car is
18:29
Speaker 1: um of course, just because when you I want to
18:32
Speaker 1: be angry and and sing about you and us. For
18:37
Speaker 1: me it's baa. But I need some new fresh voices
18:41
Speaker 1: in my repertoire. One time, Mom, I was home and
18:43
Speaker 1: I don't know if we were going to record what
18:45
Speaker 1: I texted Mala and I was like, my mom is playing,
18:47
Speaker 1: which tells you what kind of mood. Yeah, and what
18:50
Speaker 1: did my father DOA has been seeing about men being
18:54
Speaker 1: trashed for many years, many many years. So um, coming
18:59
Speaker 1: back into our theme, la bia blah, right, this is basically,
19:03
Speaker 1: like we said, this conversation is an offshoot of like
19:06
Speaker 1: look epistemologies, right, So we wanted to bring up um
19:10
Speaker 1: sort of a song an example of that we can
19:15
Speaker 1: unpack and find the counter narrative here. Well, I've noticed,
19:19
Speaker 1: like I had, like I already said that I listened
19:21
Speaker 1: to a lot of like nine point three, like Mega Latino,
19:24
Speaker 1: like musica contemporary music that's in Spanish, and there's a
19:28
Speaker 1: lot of like I guess like Neil or like pop.
19:33
Speaker 1: There's just I don't even know, Like I'm not very
19:35
Speaker 1: like genre specific, Like I don't really know what to
19:38
Speaker 1: call it. But I've noticed that a lot of these
19:40
Speaker 1: songs that are playing on the radio have this trope
19:43
Speaker 1: of ladiya b la. And we're talking about these women,
19:46
Speaker 1: but what's so like diabolic about them is that they
19:51
Speaker 1: are very sexual, right, and that they're very confident, and
19:54
Speaker 1: they're very comfortable, and they dress a certain way and
19:56
Speaker 1: they like to have sex, right, and like maybe they're
20:00
Speaker 1: hooking up with these men for the enjoyment and pleasure
20:03
Speaker 1: of having sex, right, not necessarily that they are in
20:05
Speaker 1: love or want to be in a relationship, right and
20:07
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that's like diabolical, right right, right, right,
20:11
Speaker 1: right right right. That has been my general observation. And
20:14
Speaker 1: then Mama pointed out, like we'll remember back in the day,
20:17
Speaker 1: like Donald mar has that song and also has like
20:21
Speaker 1: a DV like case with his former partner. Yeah, actually
20:27
Speaker 1: like l A p. D came out he was living
20:29
Speaker 1: in Silver Lake and Donald Marr was living in silver Yes, yes,
20:33
Speaker 1: this was like a few years ago when this with
20:35
Speaker 1: this case, but he has an open DV case. So
20:37
Speaker 1: it's like these women la and their songs right and
20:41
Speaker 1: are like and not not to say that like artists
20:45
Speaker 1: are like very misogynistic. All men are misogynistic across genres,
20:49
Speaker 1: across the board, you know what I mean. I don't
20:51
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to talk about it in
20:52
Speaker 1: that way where it sounds like, oh, yeah, is like
20:55
Speaker 1: very misogynistic and harmful. No, all of it is archy
20:59
Speaker 1: is it's it's across, it's across genres. I mean, I
21:01
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of I can't give you any
21:04
Speaker 1: song titles, right, now off the top of my head,
21:06
Speaker 1: but I feel like there's a lot of country music
21:09
Speaker 1: talking about these like evil wayward women. Oh my god,
21:12
Speaker 1: there's so much mariachi music where he's sucking boo hoo
21:15
Speaker 1: hoo about being wronged by some women. And I'm always
21:20
Speaker 1: the question, always like what did what did you do?
21:23
Speaker 1: Like what did you actually do? What did you do? No? No, no,
21:26
Speaker 1: And it's really amazing listening. It's the same thing when
21:30
Speaker 1: you hear men talk about, oh, my ex is crazy,
21:33
Speaker 1: my ex is evil, my exes. I don't believe it.
21:36
Speaker 1: I don't believe that ship. I don't believe that ships
21:40
Speaker 1: every single stay right anyway. So, Okay, somebody that we
21:46
Speaker 1: want to talk about that we haven't formally talked about
21:49
Speaker 1: on the podcast, but we should, like we need to
21:50
Speaker 1: talk about this person is Takashi six nine. If we're
21:53
Speaker 1: gonna go around canceling people, I want to cancel this,
21:56
Speaker 1: like actually, Satan, like, actually you want to talk about
21:59
Speaker 1: the tas she six nine? I like, I just have
22:03
Speaker 1: such a visceral reaction even to just the way he looks.
22:06
Speaker 1: And then I've seen like his little antics in the
22:08
Speaker 1: videos and things that he posts, and he's just he
22:10
Speaker 1: grosses me out, like to my core, I don't understand
22:15
Speaker 1: how the way that people are very enamored by him,
22:19
Speaker 1: and I don't get it. He looks like like a
22:22
Speaker 1: fur ball that like a clown coughed up and I'm
22:24
Speaker 1: not with the ships. Right. So Takashi sixth Sin has
22:28
Speaker 1: this song, right, has this song with Annuala, who is
22:31
Speaker 1: a believe Puerto Rican is like, um, and it's just
22:37
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me that these men willingly collab with
22:41
Speaker 1: a known pedophile. You know, Annual is not the only
22:44
Speaker 1: one that has collabed with him. But specifically, this song
22:46
Speaker 1: that we're talking about is called Vive and we're not
22:48
Speaker 1: playing the song for you. If you want to go
22:50
Speaker 1: stream it on your own, go ahead. Um. But in
22:53
Speaker 1: the song, he talks about ta she specifically says like Africa,
23:00
Speaker 1: and then he also refers to this woman as like
23:04
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, okay, and then he says him,
23:10
Speaker 1: I'm like, um, okay is actually Satan, right, and like
23:15
Speaker 1: then he has the audacity to like all these this
23:17
Speaker 1: one woman, whoever it is, right, this figurative woman, the audacity,
23:25
Speaker 1: Lord Lord understand it. I do not understand it. And
23:30
Speaker 1: It's really interesting too, because there's this cycle that happens
23:34
Speaker 1: where you have abusive, toxic men who are recording artists
23:39
Speaker 1: and again across genres, across the board, who are out here,
23:43
Speaker 1: um demonstrably abusing women, being aggressive and violent towards women,
23:48
Speaker 1: ruining women's lives. But then we support those artists, We
23:51
Speaker 1: stream them, we pay their bills, we pay their lawyers
23:55
Speaker 1: fees so that they can you know, go and attack
23:57
Speaker 1: their victims, um, and that they can launch you know,
24:00
Speaker 1: campaigns and things against their victims. So every stream you're
24:04
Speaker 1: contributing to that, right, and then you're also contributing to
24:07
Speaker 1: their ability to record more music. And then you have
24:10
Speaker 1: other abusive men listening to their lyrics, feeling affirmed, singing along,
24:14
Speaker 1: singing out loud, retweeting their lyrics. Takashi six nine is
24:18
Speaker 1: really saying something here about how women can be okay,
24:22
Speaker 1: But who is the fucking author, right and why? And
24:25
Speaker 1: it's just it's just crazy to me. The cycle. This
24:27
Speaker 1: is propaganda, This is patriarchal propaganda exact, and it must
24:33
Speaker 1: be destroyed in in in a fire like ending, get
24:37
Speaker 1: rid of it, yes, yeah right away. Yeah, when I
24:44
Speaker 1: that's what really enables a lot of this, like the
24:47
Speaker 1: mindset of these men, right, it really is enabling to them.
24:51
Speaker 1: Like especially I think, like I know for myself, right
24:54
Speaker 1: when I'm going through a breakup or I'm going through
24:56
Speaker 1: something difficult where I'm set upset, Like I will play
24:58
Speaker 1: a song and I wouldn't will affirm me, and I'm
25:00
Speaker 1: like fuck that ship, Like yeah, be careful with me,
25:03
Speaker 1: Like singing Cardi B. You know what I mean, all
25:05
Speaker 1: the card all the Cardi B. Right, But it's not
25:08
Speaker 1: violent against women, you know what I mean? Until Like
25:11
Speaker 1: the violence against women that we see in the media
25:13
Speaker 1: is also an indicator of the violence we see against
25:17
Speaker 1: women on the daily. I'm interpersonal. It's very sinister too,
25:20
Speaker 1: because if we think about abusive men making music that
25:25
Speaker 1: is on the radio, that is on the internet, that
25:27
Speaker 1: is streamed, if we think of it as propaganda, we
25:29
Speaker 1: can really think about how sinister it is. Because music
25:32
Speaker 1: is is a beautiful, wonderful thing that is created and
25:35
Speaker 1: designed to be catchy and to be to get stuck
25:39
Speaker 1: in your head. It is this song Vivid is incredibly catchy,
25:43
Speaker 1: incredibly catchy. I heard it on the radio and I
25:45
Speaker 1: was like, okay, and then I didn't even realize who
25:48
Speaker 1: it was. And then I saw like on my card
25:50
Speaker 1: said that. I was like, no way, that's so wild
25:56
Speaker 1: to me because the exact not the exact same thing.
25:59
Speaker 1: But I was listening to a song on the radio
26:01
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this is a fucking bop
26:02
Speaker 1: and I was like singing along and dancing to it.
26:04
Speaker 1: And then my cousin was like, oh, yeah, this is
26:06
Speaker 1: Takashi six nine, and I was like what, Yeah, Oh
26:09
Speaker 1: my god. I felt tricked. I felt like bamboozl it
26:12
Speaker 1: really a sinister like you said, because it's so catchy,
26:15
Speaker 1: so catchy, and it's exactly like you said, a bop,
26:18
Speaker 1: and then it almost makes you forget. It makes you forget,
26:20
Speaker 1: and then it's like heavily auto tuned. I don't necessarily
26:22
Speaker 1: know what this guy's voice even sounds like, right, That's
26:25
Speaker 1: why I didn't. I don't even know with him. I
26:27
Speaker 1: thought that Takashi was a rapper. Isn't he a rapper?
26:30
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know, But in the song I
26:31
Speaker 1: singing like he's actually singing in the song, which is
26:34
Speaker 1: why I didn't even know it was him, which is
26:36
Speaker 1: why I felt bamboogle like you said, right right, I
26:39
Speaker 1: don't like it now, this is propaganda, right well. And
26:41
Speaker 1: then this this Unweed guy, he got into some trouble
26:46
Speaker 1: recently because he like said something on Instagram or has
26:50
Speaker 1: a verse or something where he's kind of like makes
26:53
Speaker 1: this really horrible comment about Hurricane Maria and like Puerto Rico,
26:56
Speaker 1: Like he makes this like fucked up analogy, and then
26:58
Speaker 1: he also says something like really homophobic. So I'm like, okay,
27:02
Speaker 1: so both of these men need to be canceled, and
27:03
Speaker 1: it makes sense why they also made a song together.
27:06
Speaker 1: I'm not like, oh, canceled everybody, but I'm just like,
27:09
Speaker 1: there are some people where it's like you can see
27:11
Speaker 1: that they're homophobic and their pedophiles, and they're probably racist,
27:15
Speaker 1: and you're probably most likely misogynistic. I don't need to
27:19
Speaker 1: listen to that. I don't literally don't need I don't
27:21
Speaker 1: need to support that type of artists, you know, especially
27:24
Speaker 1: like you know, the Surviving R. Kelly documentary came out
27:28
Speaker 1: within the past week or two, and that's not necessarily
27:31
Speaker 1: like our community to know to comment upon. But but
27:35
Speaker 1: we can't say you need to support survivors. Supporting survivors
27:38
Speaker 1: needs not streaming these men are known abusers. If you're
27:41
Speaker 1: streaming there, if you you are streaming their music, you
27:44
Speaker 1: are literally putting money in their pockets and that money
27:47
Speaker 1: will be used right to continue their abusive behavior. Right.
27:52
Speaker 1: Just know that there's a direct correlation between listens and
27:56
Speaker 1: their behavior, right, um and black survivors, Matt right, defend
28:01
Speaker 1: black women, defend black girls, Black girls, black women, black
28:04
Speaker 1: survivors matter. And I think that that's important to say,
28:07
Speaker 1: you know, as a show of support of solidarity. And
28:10
Speaker 1: we know our listeners are predominantly non black latinas right
28:14
Speaker 1: and so um when we have conversations about women of
28:17
Speaker 1: color and about you know, sisterhood, solidarity, fighting the patriarchy,
28:21
Speaker 1: always so important to to make sure that we are
28:24
Speaker 1: showing our support and our solidarity to black women, black fans,
28:28
Speaker 1: right and creating that space within the conversation as well.
28:31
Speaker 1: I wanted to take up space like let me talk
28:32
Speaker 1: about it, but here let me pass the mic to
28:35
Speaker 1: a black woman that's a survivor of black feom to survive.
28:37
Speaker 1: So you know, Dream Hampton um Um, I think produced
28:42
Speaker 1: the documentary series and some really heavy hitters on black
28:45
Speaker 1: women who are very um like power users on Twitter
28:47
Speaker 1: basically like, um, Mickey Candall I think was also involved
28:52
Speaker 1: in the documentary and was in the documentary for years.
28:56
Speaker 1: I've been following Mickey Candle for years. And then um
28:58
Speaker 1: who else. Jamila mu also very very active on Twitter,
29:04
Speaker 1: also contributed to the documentary. So go check out their work.
29:08
Speaker 1: Um uh, they've been working on you know, this documentary
29:12
Speaker 1: and on exploring what kind of damage R Kelly has
29:16
Speaker 1: done for many years. Like these women have been in it,
29:19
Speaker 1: like in the trenches on the ground, so they're the
29:21
Speaker 1: ones to go and to look at their words and
29:23
Speaker 1: their work around it, right, so we can see I
29:26
Speaker 1: think there is a direct correlation. We can see what
29:29
Speaker 1: not denouncing R Kelly has done. Right. So it's like
29:33
Speaker 1: we literally have this opportunity with Tokashi six nine where
29:35
Speaker 1: he's a young artist, right, he's literally only a few
29:37
Speaker 1: years into his career, Like denouncing him now right because
29:42
Speaker 1: he's a bit of files, actually has direct implications and
29:45
Speaker 1: consequences as opposed to protecting this user the way R
29:48
Speaker 1: Kelly was when you know, yeah, it's just unnecessary. We
29:53
Speaker 1: can this is called prevention. This is called prevention. We
29:56
Speaker 1: can put a fucking pin and it prevent it and
29:58
Speaker 1: prevent more damage from being done. And that's the way
30:00
Speaker 1: to do it. That's the only way to do it,
30:02
Speaker 1: because the other way around, Like we can't let women
30:06
Speaker 1: be UM fodder anymore. We will not be fodder anymore.
30:11
Speaker 1: Funk that, Like our lives are too valuable. The careers
30:14
Speaker 1: of these men are not worth it. These men are
30:17
Speaker 1: not that great. The world will be okay without their music,
30:20
Speaker 1: I promise you anyway. Anyways, um so I mean is
