  Speaker 1: Let's drop the loo. Uh oh, Hey, what's up y'all.
• 0:46
  Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome back, two Black Girls Interrupted podcast.
• 0:52
  You already know what's your favorite girl? Ashley from the
• 0:55
  fible for bringing back Black Girl Interrupted Podcast. Let me
• 1:01
  say this, I have missed y'all so so, so, so
• 1:05
  so much, to the point where I had to take
• 1:09
  a step back, Like I really truly had to really
• 1:15
  take care of me. I had to focus on myself.
• 1:21
  Many of you know that I've been recent well I
• 1:24
  haven't posted, but I've recently been diagnosed with fibromyelgia. So
• 1:31
  life has really been life in for me. You know,
• 1:35
  did I hate to walk away from black girling throughout
• 1:37
  the podcast? I did, but I had to take some
• 1:40
  time for me. But you already know before I start
• 1:44
  any episode, I always do my mental health check in.
• 1:48
  So I need to check in with y'all. Need to
• 1:49
  know how y'all are doing, how y'all are feeling because
• 1:51
  I missed y'all. Like I don't like when we get
• 1:54
  into this, like I really really really want to get
• 1:57
  into y'all and just like love on y'all for just
• 2:00
  a moment. So y'all already know what I do. I
• 2:03
  always do a mental health checking anyone that is new
• 2:05
  to a black girl interrupt the podcast before I start
• 2:08
  my show, I always do a black I'm sorry, not
• 2:11
  a black, but a y'all. My mind literally just went blank.
• 2:19
  A mental health a mental health check in because I
• 2:22
  want to know how y'all are feeling. I want to
• 2:23
  know how you're doing. I know some people have reached
• 2:27
  out to me and we're asking questions when it's bagg
• 2:30
  interrupted coming back, and I'm like, soon, soon, soon, soon,
• 2:34
  soon soon. So before we jump into the conversation to night,
• 2:39
  let's go ahead and let me give you some type
• 2:41
  of motivation for tonight. So here we go.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: If the lion is the king of the jungle, how
• 2:54
  can he be the king of the jungle if he's
• 2:57
  not the biggest. The elephant is probably one of the biggest.
• 3:03
  He can't be the fastest because that's a cheatah. He
• 3:07
  can't be the smartest. So he's not the biggest, the fastest,
• 3:11
  or the smartest. So how does the lion become the
• 3:16
  king of the jungle. It's mentality. That's the only difference
• 3:23
  of a lion and an elephant. When a lion walks
• 3:27
  up and sees an elephant, he thinks lunch an elephant.
• 3:32
  Things run, And it's all mentality because when a male
• 3:38
  lion walks up, he may be outnumbered by a pack
• 3:40
  of hyenas. But I'm keen of my jungle because of
• 3:45
  my mentality.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: What happens when you're Bazil and you're not being pushed,
• 3:51
  you're not being proud of, You're not giving it a reward,
• 3:53
  nobody's encouraging you. What happens when you are bazel and
• 3:57
  the lion's.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Not chasing anymore, you stop running.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: What happens when you're a lion, When you are a lion,
• 4:03
  it does not make a difference. You realize that if
• 4:06
  your family is going to eat that, if that pack
• 4:09
  of lions is to survive, then you.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Gotta go hunt. A part of being a beast just
• 4:16
  ain't eating a gazelle.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: A part of being a beast is the hunts.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: It's the hunt that they're excited about. They like to
• 4:22
  see the gazelles roll to prove they take off because
• 4:25
  real lions like to hunt.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: They love the process just as much as they love
• 4:30
  the prize. And some of y'all just want to score
• 4:32
  you don't like the process.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You're not in love with the process.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: A true hunter's oh, it's not the prize. A true
• 4:40
  hunter's go it's to hunt. That's what they live for.
• 4:43
  They live to hunts. They don't just live to catch it.
• 4:46
  It's the whole process. When you are a true hunter,
• 4:49
  you don't go by time you go buy the gazelle.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: When you are a true hunter, you hunt until you get.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: A gazelle, and you don't stop until you get one,
• 4:57
  and then.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: You get another, and then you get another, and you
• 5:00
  get another. If you're gonna do what you say you're
• 5:02
  gonna do, be what you say you're gonna be, You're
• 5:04
  gonna have to lie in me out. You will go there.
• 5:06
  You gonna come up short, you will get there. You're
• 5:09
  gonna have an average experience. You're a student, I need
• 5:12
  you in lion mode. You're an entrepreneur. I need you
• 5:14
  in lion mode. You're trying to lose weight Lion mode.
• 5:17
  You can't do nothing significant in Gazel mode. Nothing nothing
• 5:21
  impressive happened in Gazel mode. Nothing happened in run mode,
• 5:25
  give up mode, quit mode, scared mode, fearful more. Nothing happened.
• 5:29
  Everything happened in lion mode, like.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I'm coming to get you, Hey, my beautiful babies. Oh,
• 5:58
  y'all already know before I start off my show. Y'all
• 6:02
  already know that I always have to do a mental
• 6:04
  health check in because I gotta check in on my peoples.
• 6:05
  I gotta make sure everybody good. I gotta make sure
• 6:08
  everybody straight, because you know what, not everybody is good
• 6:10
  right now. You know what I'm saying. With everything going
• 6:13
  on in the world, a lot of people ain't good
• 6:15
  right now. A lot of people are stressed. A lot
• 6:17
  of people are like they don't know what to do,
• 6:19
  they don't know if they coming up going. But I
• 6:24
  had to come back to a black girl interrupt that podcast.
• 6:29
  As many of you know, I've recently got married. Yes,
• 6:35
  so I'm no longer ask lippits. I am now Ashley Marshall.
• 6:40
  And I guess that's a beautiful you know what, Let
• 6:42
  me let me rephrase that. That's a beautiful thing because
• 6:45
  I did marry the most amazing man ever ever, ever
• 6:47
  ever ever read life. I promise you, like, if I
• 6:51
  had to do life all over again with him in it,
• 6:54
  oh yeah, I would definitely do it because that that
• 6:57
  man is absolutely amazing. But many of y'all know that
• 7:03
  I have been sick in battling. I'm a lot of things,
• 7:09
  but I was more so just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
• 7:14
  So that does explain a lot of the pain and
• 7:18
  things that have been going on with me. But I
• 7:23
  don't want to discuss that, you know. I don't want
• 7:25
  to talk about my illness, my ailments. I want to
• 7:28
  know what's been going on with y'all because, let me
• 7:31
  say this, I have missed y'all so much. I miss
• 7:37
  being in this space with you guys. I miss coming
• 7:40
  and having these conversations with y'all simply because I created
• 7:45
  this space for all of us. And I really think
• 7:47
  it was selfish for me just to walk away and
• 7:51
  not say anything. So I want to first start off
• 7:53
  by saying I apologize for just walking away and not
• 7:56
  telling y'all what was going on. But and I know
• 8:01
  y'all are like, but Ashley, you've always been open with us,
• 8:03
  You've always been very transparent with us. You've always been,
• 8:06
  you know, telling us what's going on. But in that
• 8:09
  particular moment, I had to I had to retreat because
• 8:16
  I had to process the things that were going on
• 8:21
  with me health wise. Did I mean to be gone
• 8:24
  that long? No, but again I do. Oh y'all, that
• 8:30
  apology you understand because y'all, y'all are like y'all have.
• 8:35
  Let me say this, y'all have become my diary. Y'all
• 8:39
  have been my cocoon of love, my circle of y'all
• 8:48
  have just been my people. Y'all have been here for me,
• 8:51
  y'all have advocated for me, y'all have rallied for me,
• 8:56
  and then I just take the space away from y'all.
• 8:59
  So again I'm apologizing because, like I said, being sick
• 9:05
  was not on my Bengo card, but it is what
• 9:09
  it is. I can't do anything but I pray and
• 9:12
  I ask God to restore me to how it was
• 9:14
  before all of this happened. I have been to I
• 9:21
  just want to let y'all know. I have been to
• 9:24
  multiple rheumatologists, but this one that I'm seeing right now
• 9:29
  has been nothing short but amazing. There are still some
• 9:34
  labs that I have to get done because my platelet
• 9:39
  count is elevated and it has been for a few years,
• 9:43
  so that has caused a great deal of concern. So
• 9:47
  I will be going to see a hematologist at the
• 9:49
  end of the March. I did have a couple of
• 9:52
  biopsies done that did determine that whatever is going on
• 9:56
  in my body is like whatever is going on is
• 9:58
  attacking me from the inside out, So everything that's going
• 10:01
  on on the inside, it's coming out. So hence I've
• 10:05
  been having these sores and scabs and things like that
• 10:08
  in my head. I've been at times unable to walk.
• 10:14
  There have been days where I've been unable to get
• 10:16
  out of the bed, but I still get up and
• 10:20
  I keep going. You understand, did it affect me mentally? Yeah,
• 10:25
  because who wants to wake up one day and it's
• 10:29
  difficult for you to walk. You're losing control of your
• 10:32
  bodily functions. Your blood pressure is up and down, you
• 10:38
  have fibromyelgia. I have a moud case of thrumbocytosis, which
• 10:47
  means my body is overproducing platelets. Hence that could be
• 10:52
  their issue with why my legs and my body hurt
• 10:55
  so much. I do have levito reticulars, which does explain
• 11:01
  why my legs look like they have spider webs on them.
• 11:07
  But I stay hopeful because I know at the end
• 11:10
  of the day. God is a healer, So hence I
• 11:16
  had to come back into my space. I had to
• 11:19
  come back into a space that I created, not only
• 11:21
  for me, but for y'all. A space where we can talk,
• 11:24
  a space where we can laugh, a space that's safe,
• 11:26
  a space that there's no judgment. I look at some
• 11:29
  of these other podcasts and I'm just like, y'all don't
• 11:32
  have any safe spaces for people. Here comes black Girl interrupted.
• 11:39
  This is not for just black women, but this is
• 11:41
  for my black men too, because I have to love
• 11:44
  on y'all. I have to pour on y'all. That's my
• 11:46
  purpose here, you understand, And in my time or way
• 11:50
  that I was able to really sit down with myself
• 11:53
  and have private conversations with God. Baby, let me tell
• 11:57
  you something. God told me. You have a per so
• 12:02
  me taking you right now. Just relax because I still
• 12:07
  have messages. I need you to relate to designated people.
• 12:12
  So hence I'm here, I'm back. Do I hurt a
• 12:16
  lot of days. I'm in pain right now. But guess what,
• 12:19
  I'm sitting up here and I'm doing this podcast because
• 12:22
  I owe this to y'all. Y'all are the reason I
• 12:25
  keep going y'all are the reason that I get up
• 12:28
  and I fight every day because I know y'all are
• 12:31
  like man Ashley. She she's strong and y'all never seen me. Well, yeah,
• 12:36
  y'all have y'all seen me in some weak, vulnerable moments.
• 12:40
  But now sh I just want to say thank you.
• 12:47
  Thank you for loving me, thank you for praying for me,
• 12:49
  thank you for speaking life into me, thank you for
• 12:52
  empowering me, thank you for uplifting me, thank you for
• 12:54
  encouraging me. Whenden days got real dark for me. So
• 13:00
  I want y'all to give yourself a pat on the back,
• 13:03
  a round of applause, because y'all encourage me. I got
• 13:07
  on here to encourage y'all, but y'all encourage me with comments,
• 13:13
  with whatever it is. If you reach out to me
• 13:16
  and you just need a word of encouragement, thank y'all
• 13:20
  for that, because that lets me know that my purpose
• 13:24
  is not in vain. That lets me know that every
• 13:27
  journey and every obstacle that I've encountered this last year
• 13:33
  wasn't coincidental. You understand, this was God's doing. This was
• 13:37
  God's saying, I need you to get up. I know
• 13:40
  you heard Ashley but I need you to get up
• 13:43
  because you got a message. I got a message that
• 13:45
  I need you to deliver because apparently y'all aren't listening
• 13:48
  to other people, so he's utilizing me as the vessel
• 13:51
  to get the word. You understand. So I had a
• 13:55
  conversation with someone so near and dear to my heart.
• 14:01
  And when I tell you that woman poured into me,
• 14:03
  and that woman sold me, I declare healing over you.
• 14:10
  We're no longer claiming what man says and that touched
• 14:14
  me because here I am. I'm taking in everything that
• 14:18
  these doctors are telling me, but I'm not listening to
• 14:21
  what God is telling me. God is telling me I'm
• 14:23
  gonna restore you. I'm gonna pick you up, and I'm
• 14:26
  gonna make you better than what you were before. But
• 14:30
  because I don't have patience, I'm ready for it to
• 14:32
  happen right now. But I know it's on the way.
• 14:37
  I know my blessing is on the way. I know
• 14:39
  God is gonna restore me as long as I stayed.
• 14:42
  Of course, you understand. So I say all of that
• 14:45
  to say that, regardless of whatever obstacle you encounter, stayed
• 14:48
  the course. Let God be your road map. You understand,
• 14:54
  because we've been sitting up here and we've been trying
• 14:56
  to do this ourselves, and guess what happens. We runn
• 15:00
  in the brick walls. We're frustrated, we're irritated, we're ready
• 15:02
  to give up. We're throwing in the towel. But then
• 15:05
  the moment we get back up right, we're pushing God away.
• 15:10
  But I'm staying the course. I'm listening to what God
• 15:15
  has to tell me every day. Get up. I know
• 15:19
  it hurts, but one day I'm gonna get you where
• 15:24
  you need to be. You just have to be patient
• 15:26
  with me. God, how you gonna tell me to be patient?
• 15:31
  And I'm away, I'm hurting. I'm taking all this medication
• 15:33
  to try to function throughout the day. But God say,
• 15:37
  just hold on, baby, I got you. Just stay the course,
• 15:41
  Just stay the course. So I'm telling y'all, whatever your
• 15:45
  God going on, stay the course, don't fall down, don't
• 15:50
  stay there, get up, push yourself, baby, because the finish
• 15:55
  line is right there. I know we can't see it,
• 15:58
  because I'm here gonna tell y'all combating some dings. I
• 16:01
  could be like, oh Lord, I just can't see this. God,
• 16:05
  you got me in this, in this, in this pickle.
• 16:08
  But God say, hold on, old tight, I got you,
• 16:13
  I got you, I got you. So I'm gonna stay
• 16:17
  the course. I'm gonna stay the course. I'm gonna wait
• 16:22
  it out. Because just because man says I have fibromyalgia,
• 16:26
  just because man says I have all these ailments, don't
• 16:30
  mean God can't healing. Hello, somebody, That don't mean God
• 16:36
  can't healing. When I tell y'all, twenty twenty four was
• 16:44
  the most trying year for me. And when I say
• 16:47
  the most trying year, I'm talking about the most trying
• 16:52
  year for me. But I look at that as as
• 16:58
  that was my setup for twenty twenty five. Nderstanding, that
• 17:00
  was my setup. He was preparing me for what was
• 17:04
  I what I was going to encounter in twenty twenty five.
• 17:07
  This is what this was all about. God reconnected me
• 17:13
  with people that I had lost in my journey. He
• 17:18
  brought some of the most beautiful people back to me.
• 17:22
  So let me tell you something. I'll never take that
• 17:26
  for granted. Let me say that I'll never take any
• 17:33
  delay for granted, because sometimes that delay is your protection.
• 17:39
  Not only did God remove people, but he brought the
• 17:42
  right people back to me and maybe when I take you,
• 17:46
  when I see these people, I love on him like
• 17:50
  we ain't missed a beat. I do. And when I
• 17:55
  tell y'all, I've got some of the most amazing people
• 17:57
  that are back in my circle, that are back in
• 17:59
  my life life, and I thank God this one up
• 18:03
  here for doing that for me. We have to stop,
• 18:15
  slow down, relax, relate, and release. Twenty twenty five has
• 18:27
  started out rough for a lot of people, and a
• 18:33
  lot of people are already ready to give up. Don't
• 18:38
  give up. Some of y'all, the devil got in a
• 18:42
  choke hold. Some of y'all. The devil got y'all had,
• 18:47
  He got his hand around y'all neck, and y'all don't
• 18:49
  even know if y'all could breathe. But I asked start
• 18:54
  to step in and to release that choke hold that
• 18:59
  the devil has on you, because some of y'all baby,
• 19:02
  y'all let and the devil rides y'all back. Nope, no, ma'am,
• 19:09
  no sir. I pray that any person that's going through
• 19:16
  a trial of tribulation, I pray God comes and releases
• 19:20
  that hold. Whatever you've lost, God is going to get
• 19:25
  back to you just hold on. Some of y'all are
• 19:29
  in the biggest storm of your whole entire life and
• 19:31
  you don't even know what to do. Get that umbrella
• 19:35
  and walk through it, because just because God brings you
• 19:38
  to it, don't mean he won't bring you through it.
• 19:42
  I ask God every day, even the people that don't
• 19:45
  even talk, even though people that gore removed away from me,
• 19:48
  I still pray over them, and I ask God every
• 19:52
  day change my heart. I ask God to realign me
• 19:59
  back the way I need to me because I've done
• 20:03
  and I've said a lot of a lot of hurdful
• 20:05
  things to people. I've thought a lot of hurt for thoughts,
• 20:09
  and that was the devil. So i ask God to
• 20:13
  release that choke hold that the devil has on me.
• 20:18
  But I'm also setting boundaries too. I'm also setting boundaries
• 20:23
  forgiveness doesn't mean re entry back into my life. I
• 20:28
  want some of y'all to understand and know that just
• 20:31
  because you forgive somebody don't mean you have to let
• 20:32
  them back into your life. Forgive them and let them go.
• 20:37
  Forgive them and let them go, especially if they know
• 20:40
  what they've been doing to you. Because see some people
• 20:43
  out here are moving with intention. You have people out
• 20:45
  here that are intentionally trying to hurt you. Let them go.
• 20:50
  Forgive them and let them go, baby, push them on
• 20:52
  to the side. Forgive them, let them go. Let God
• 20:55
  wrangle with them. That's not your fight. You take care
• 20:59
  of you, You take care of your heart, You protake
• 21:01
  your peace. You put them boundaries up. Don't be afraid
• 21:05
  to tell nobody no, put them boundaries up. Stop being
• 21:11
  afraid to tell people know if you need to disappear.
• 21:13
  Stop explaining to people why you need a break from them.
• 21:18
  Stop explaining to people that intentionally do things to hurt you.
• 21:21
  You understand, Stop explaining to them what they keep doing
• 21:24
  to you. Let them go, Let them go. I'm not
• 21:31
  even upset at the people that God took away. I'm
• 21:34
  not even mad about it, because when I sat back
• 21:36
  and like I said, I had to sit down and
• 21:38
  I have to get real personal with God. You understand.
• 21:40
  I had to have a one on one with him,
• 21:44
  and God told me, he said, I've heard the things
• 21:47
  that people have said about you, and I've seen the
• 21:49
  things that people have done to you, and you keep
• 21:51
  forgiving them, and you keep allowing them back into your
• 21:53
  life and they keep stinging you, and you keep forgiving,
• 21:55
  you keep taking them back, and they keep stinging you.
• 21:58
  At what point are you gonna get tired of being stunk?
• 22:02
  You know they hurt me, that hurt me, That hurt
• 22:08
  me because I said, but God, these are my friend
• 22:12
  He say, no, they're not. Those are those liabilities. They're
• 22:17
  not assets. That hurt me because these were people I
• 22:23
  had known, five, ten, fifteen, twenty years, people I had known.
• 22:30
  But they kept punching me in the face, They kept
• 22:32
  punching me in the gut. They kept tearing me down.
• 22:34
  But guess what, I love you. And they would say,
• 22:36
  I'm sorry, Ash, I didn't mean to do it, okay,
• 22:39
  And I'm letting them back in my life just for
• 22:40
  them to come and do it all over again. So
• 22:44
  at what point do you say, you know what, I'm
• 22:46
  tired of being stuck. I'm tired of you slapping my face.
• 22:50
  I only got two cheeks. I can't turn when once
• 22:53
  I turned to go left and turns, I can't turn
• 22:55
  no more. Forgiveness does not mean re entry back into
• 23:02
  my life. I forgive you, but I don't forgive you
• 23:05
  for you. I forgive you for me because I have
• 23:06
  to relinquish the power that you have held over me.
• 23:10
  I gotta take my power back. I gotta take my
• 23:15
  power back, soul. If we don't speak anymore after today,
• 23:22
  I forgive you, even the people that have wronged my children.
• 23:27
  I forgive y'all, the people that have wronged my husband,
• 23:32
  my family, the people that are close to me. Forgive
• 23:35
  those people. Take your power back, because the more you
• 23:38
  stay mad at them, the more power they hold over you. You
• 23:42
  gotta relinquish that, babe. You gotta cut ties. That's like
• 23:44
  a cancel. You gotta cut it off. You gotta cut
• 23:46
  the blood supply. You understand, that's what you have to do.
• 23:51
  All these people that say they wish you well, a
• 23:53
  lot of them don't wish you well. Baby. Be mindful
• 23:56
  of the prayers that you ask for from the enemy.
• 24:01
  Hm hm. Some of y'all didn't get that part. Be
• 24:09
  mindful of the prayers that you ask from people, because see,
• 24:13
  everybody can't pray over you. Because see a lot of people,
• 24:15
  you don't know what they're praying for. They could be
• 24:17
  praying for your demise, they could be praying for your downfall.
• 24:21
  Some of y'all like to discernment to know what's fact
• 24:24
  and what's fiction. Just because it looks good don't mean
• 24:29
  it's good for you. Spall milk is white too. Did
• 24:37
  y'all hear what I just said? Spall milk is white? Also?
• 24:43
  Some of y'all need to look within your circle, because
• 24:49
  sometimes it ain't always just family. It be the ones
• 24:53
  that you call your friends. We know family will do
• 24:57
  your dirty. We know that. We know that, and you
• 25:01
  gotta set boundaries with families. If family don't mean you
• 25:05
  no good, guess what y'all need to cut them people off.
• 25:09
  Y'all gotta cut them people off. Some people say, oh,
• 25:14
  that's family, just because that family. Don't Just because that's
• 25:18
  family don't mean you gotta hold onto them. That's still
• 25:25
  your mom, that's still your dad, that's still your brother,
• 25:27
  that's still your sister, You're still your cousin. I I
• 25:30
  if you wrong me, I'm gonna cut you off too.
• 25:34
  Because we all deserve to live in peace. We all
• 25:36
  deserve to have peace in our lives. You understand. We
• 25:39
  all deserve that, especially when your life has been chaotic.
• 25:45
  We deserve the peace. So if cutting off that toxic
• 25:48
  family member, that cousin, that uncle, that needs that never,
• 25:51
  you do what's best for you. Stop listening to what
• 25:54
  people tell you. Oh girl, don't do that. You know
• 25:56
  that's your cousin, Okay, And my cousin is toxic, and
• 26:00
  my cousin has bad energy. So I don't want that
• 26:02
  bad energy around me. I don't want that. I don't
• 26:10
  want that. I've lived a chaotic life. I want peace now.
• 26:16
  I want to be able to relax. I want to
• 26:18
  be able to live and relax in my femininity and
• 26:21
  not have to be masculine and rough all the time.
• 26:25
  So guess what, I'm gonna do whatever it takes to
• 26:28
  protect my peace. If that means no longer associating or
• 26:34
  socializing with people that mean me no good, then that's
• 26:37
  what it is. I'm not mad about that. I'm not
• 26:42
  gonna cry about that, because ever since those people have
• 26:46
  been gone, my path has been clear. In order for
• 26:50
  your flowers to bloom, you gotta cut them weeds out. Flowers,
• 26:54
  clean flowers cannot grow amongst weeds. And y'all know this.
• 27:00
  Y'all know this. Can't nobody see how beautiful you are
• 27:04
  with all these weeds in the way. Cut them out,
• 27:08
  cut them off, kill them off, get rid of them,
• 27:14
  And I'm talking about sometimes you gotta start and you're
• 27:17
  in a circle. I know who supports and who does,
• 27:24
  and I know who loves. Genuinely, my discernment has been
• 27:29
  on point. Some people I let back in and I
• 27:35
  was like, why did I do that? The biggest mistake
• 27:39
  I could have ever made? But you know what, I
• 27:41
  cut it off again, and I ain't looked back. I
• 27:44
  ain't lost no sleep behind it. I still sleep with
• 27:47
  my fan on my leg from up under the cover hunt.
• 27:50
  I still do. But that's what we gotta do. We
• 27:55
  gotta do that. We gotta purge, and we gotta cleanse
• 27:59
  ourselves of the unclean and unhealed. People. Stop hanging around
• 28:04
  people that gods will stop hanging around people that bring
• 28:06
  you mess, that love to clock the tea but won't
• 28:10
  clock their own tea. They love to clock everybody else,
• 28:14
  but will never clock theirs. I'm in the moving season.
• 28:18
  I'm in the moving business right now. I'm packing you up.
• 28:20
  I'm getting you on up out of here. Who ain't
• 28:24
  good to me? You got to go? Who's not good
• 28:28
  to my family? You got to go? Who's not good
• 28:30
  to the people that I love? You got to go?
• 28:34
  I can't sit and that's sit in them same tables,
• 28:37
  mingling them, same circles, and think I'm gonna get different results.
• 28:43
  Some of y'all think that. Some of y'all figured, well,
• 28:48
  maybe if they change their shirt, they'll be a different person.
• 28:51
  They're just a dirty person in a clean shirt. Y'all
• 28:55
  know that. I don't even have to tell y'all all
• 28:58
  of that. I don't have to tell y'all that because
• 29:01
  y'all know this. But we want to just hold on
• 29:06
  the people so bad. Nope, not doing it. I don't
• 29:12
  want y'all to do it no more. I want y'all
• 29:14
  letting people go, leading people alone, let them miserable people
• 29:17
  sit where they sit. Let them sit over in the
• 29:19
  miserable people's section, okay, and we sit over here in
• 29:22
  the clean and peace section. We over here tried to
• 29:24
  get to a We over here trying to hustle, We
• 29:26
  grind it with the very same people that want to
• 29:29
  see us win. That's what we're doing over here. We're
• 29:34
  not dealing with man, let me tell you ourself. We
• 29:36
  are not dealing with foolishness in twenty twenty five. Okay,
• 29:40
  we are what sick of that? Oh my bad. We
• 29:43
  are what ten months almost nine months into twenty twenty five,
• 29:49
  and it's been foolishness. I've seen y'all tussling on social
• 29:56
  media about who voted for who. I've seen people losing
• 30:01
  friendships over political views. For what. We got bigger stuff
• 30:05
  to worry about, And y'all mad about who voted for who?
• 30:11
  Where about? Where about that?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Much?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Where about that? What goes on in your house? And
• 30:21
  and somebody else is out? Y'all gotta start sweeping around
• 30:23
  your own feet. Some of y'all need to start cleaning
• 30:25
  out your own clossts. But some of y'all got some
• 30:29
  dirtiness up in there. Mm hmm. I stay back and
• 30:34
  I watch, and I just don't say anything. I laugh,
• 30:37
  I laugh. I may come on and and say a
• 30:40
  few things, but guess what, I'm gonna leave a tussling
• 30:45
  for y'all because I'm not tussling with nobody. If I'm
• 30:47
  not uging with you, you got it? You're right? Two
• 30:51
  plus two week, what's five? You got it? I'm not
• 30:53
  doing it. I'm not doing it. Some of y'all do it,
• 30:57
  because y'all, that's the only excitement or joy you're getting life.
• 31:00
  That means you're miserable to sit and argue with somebody
• 31:04
  on social media that you cannot even see. We gotta
• 31:08
  do better, people, We gotta do better as a person,
• 31:13
  as people. This is what we gotta do. We gotta
• 31:15
  do better. Let's get our households in order, because God
• 31:20
  is on the way, he coming back, and some of
• 31:22
  you'll households ain't gonna be in order when it's your
• 31:24
  turn to go. So that's what you need to be
• 31:27
  concerned with. And now who voted for who? Yeah? I
• 31:31
  get on that and I post, and I crack a
• 31:32
  little jokes and say some things whatever. But I want
• 31:37
  to be educated now. I'm tired of being entertained. I
• 31:41
  want to I want to learn something. I want to
• 31:43
  be told something that I could pass on to my children,
• 31:46
  I could give information to my friends. That's what I
• 31:48
  want to do. I want to be educated. That's what
• 31:53
  I want to do.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Right now.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Y'all can have all that the clock and tea and
• 31:58
  want to know what's going on and something y'all can
• 32:01
  y'all can have all of that. They batting through my
• 32:04
  hands up so long ago. I'm a whole wife now.
• 32:07
  When I tell y'all my husband, don't play. He'd be like,
• 32:11
  get off of that. Stop entertaining that, that's all I
• 32:15
  gotta do. He was like, man, you you got a brand,
• 32:21
  you're trying to build a brand, and you on social
• 32:22
  media doing this and that back and forth with people.
• 32:25
  Get off of that. I see, y'all know. I would
• 32:30
  go to the tour with y'all. Y'all know I was
• 32:31
  standing in the trenches and be like, yeah, yeah, no,
• 32:35
  I'm gonna let y'all have that. I'm gonna let y'all
• 32:38
  have it over there because over here we trying to
• 32:41
  build brands, were trying to leave legacies, We're trying to
• 32:44
  create generational wealth, and we can't do all that with
• 32:46
  the foolishness. But we also can't do it without guard either.
• 32:52
  Some of y'all need to get it right. Some of
• 32:55
  y'all need to stop moving and telling everybody your announcements
• 32:59
  and the things, because a lot of people don't want
• 33:01
  to see you win. A lot of people don't want
• 33:05
  to see y'all win. A lot of people don't want
• 33:07
  to see you get a dollar more than them. I
• 33:12
  want everyone to win. I want everyone to win. I
• 33:16
  want everyone to get everything that they said, they minds to.
• 33:20
  That's what I want. I want to see y'all get it.
• 33:26
  I do, and that's no cap. I want to see
• 33:31
  y'all get it. I'm here. I'm gonna living witness that
• 33:38
  hard work pays off. So I'm gonna keep pouring into
• 33:42
  Y'a'm gonna keep loving on y'all. I'm gonna keep bringing
• 33:45
  these safe spaces for y'all to come in and talk
• 33:47
  and laugh and joking and we just have a really
• 33:49
  good time. That's what I'm gonna do. That's what I'm
• 33:54
  gonna do for y'all. I'm gonna keep doing everything that
• 33:56
  God allows me to do. I'm gonna keep moving with
• 34:01
  great intentions and not ill intent. I'm gonna keep trying
• 34:06
  to be an asset to somebody and no longer a liability.
• 34:11
  I'm gonna keep doing what I do. But man, y'all,
• 34:15
  I don't even think I understand how good it feels
• 34:18
  good to be back doing this, you know, Like I said,
• 34:23
  being able to have a space that we could go
• 34:29
  in and we could talk and laugh and joke and
• 34:33
  cry and get whatever off our chest. I love that
• 34:38
  part for black girl and talk. I love that for y'all.
• 34:41
  I love that y'all have a go to podcast. Now
• 34:44
  you understand what I'm saying. I love this for y'all.
• 34:47
  I love the fact that I could bring something like
• 34:50
  this to the forefront. I love this. I love the
• 34:53
  fact that God gave me the gift to do just that.
• 35:00
  And I'm never taking for granted again. Never will I
• 35:02
  take it for granted again, because let me say this,
• 35:07
  where I'm at right now, I'm in a beautiful space.
• 35:13
  I can honestly say that my mental is getting better.
• 35:17
  I'm still looking for another job still, but I'm grateful
• 35:23
  for the one that I do have. Let me say that,
• 35:26
  I'm grateful for the one I do have, regardless of
• 35:32
  what it does to me. I'm grateful for that. I'm
• 35:35
  grateful that I have a roof over my head. I'm
• 35:38
  grateful I have food on my table, closed on my back,
• 35:41
  that I have a beautiful circle of friends. I'm grateful
• 35:45
  for that, and I'm not gonna let anyone take that
• 35:48
  away from me. I'm like a lion right now. I'm
• 35:53
  hungry and I'm ready to get it. I'm ready to
• 35:56
  get to it. So I want to have y'all been

  forgive me. I'm still trying to maneuver and get used
• 36:15
  to it because I want. I think. I don't know
• 36:18
  what I have to do, but I have to try
• 36:21
  to figure out a way to get the comments so
• 36:23
  I can see all the comments, because I know people
• 36:25

  I love the smile on your face. She says, no,
• 43:18
  you don't understand, have you how you have helped us,
• 43:25
  how you have poured into us and loved us. So
• 43:26
  it is only right the way you carry and love
• 43:29
  on us. We have to do the same. Baby. If
• 43:32
  it wasn't for you, y'all have to hold on. I'm
• 43:36
  trying to learn this little integration. It would be no us.
• 43:39
  So we love you and so glad you are back.
• 43:42
  Y'all not gonna give me today. I know I'm gonna
• 43:46
  let a few of these love tears roll. Kimberly says,
• 43:52
  we love your sister, and you are missed. I missed, y'all.
• 43:56
  I missed being able to get up here and have
• 43:58
  these conversations with y'all. But my health just wouldn't let me.
• 44:05
  But I can't keep saying I'm hungry and keep starving myself.
• 44:12
  So in my back, oh yeah, hell yeah, heck yeah, oh,
• 44:17
  I'm back. And baby, let me tell you something. I
• 44:20
  got some nasty conversations that are on the way. Some
• 44:24
  of y'all are gonna get upset, and some of the
• 44:28
  conversations we're gonna have going forward. My sister came to
• 44:34
  me today and says, cis So let me tell y'all.
• 44:37
  My sister made a post today. My sister Kim, she
• 44:39
  made a post today and it was about a black
• 44:43
  man that said, oh, he hated black women, that he
• 44:47
  would sleep with a dog before he slept with black women,
• 44:51
  and then in turn turned around and was un alive
• 44:54
  by a Caucasian woman. The self hater is real, and
• 45:00
  that will be a conversation that's coming up. You may
• 45:03
  not like it, but it's not necessary and a warrant
• 45:06
  a conversation because the self hate is real. Because what
• 45:10
  I don't understand, how do you hate the very same
• 45:15
  race you came from. That'll be a conversation. The conversations
• 45:24
  that I will also be talking about is sexual abuse, rape, incest.
• 45:33
  We're going to have those conversations. I want to talk
• 45:38
  about these black men killing black women and these black
• 45:42
  women killing black men over relationships. These people that are
• 45:50
  un alive in their children, that are turning a blind
• 45:53
  and die when their children are coming and telling them
• 45:56
  that they're being abused. That's the conversation we're gonna start
• 46:00
  having on Black Girl Interrupted podcasts. It's time for us
• 46:08
  to address the issues that go on inside the house.
• 46:13
  Y'all know those secrets don't tell nobody what. No, it's time.
• 46:19
  It's time. See y'all afraid to have those conversations. So
• 46:24
  y'all don't want to have those because y'all are still
• 46:25
  trying to protect and hold those family secrets, but you
• 46:29
  don't know you're creating generational trauma. Those are the conversations
• 46:35
  I'm bringing to the forefront on Black Girl Interrupted. One
• 46:40
  of my closest, dearest friends is coming on my podcast
• 46:43
  to share her story. She had a child by her
• 46:49
  father's nephew. See, y'all not ready for those So y'all
• 46:54
  want to have these conversations where they dragging black men
• 46:58
  and saying black women ain't this. I saw black men
• 47:00
  ain't that. I'm tired of those conversations. I'm tired. It's
• 47:08
  time to start having real conversations. See again, y'all want
• 47:13
  to be entertained. That's why a lot of y'all didn't
• 47:15
  like Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl ad time performance, because y'all
• 47:18
  were so busy wanting to be entertained and not educated.
• 47:23
  And for that we will always stay at the bottom
• 47:24
  of the totem pole. I said it. I did. I
• 47:32
  may lose some followers or whatever. I don't care, because,
• 47:36
  like I told you, I want to be educated. I'm
• 47:38
  tired of being entertained. I've been entertained enough. I'm tired
• 47:42
  of being the opening act for the three ring circus.
• 47:48
  So am I ready to have those conversations? Absolutely? Are
• 47:51
  y'all ready to partake in those conversations? Let me know,
• 47:55
  Let me know, because it's time for us to free
• 47:59
  out was sells from these man made prisons. I know.
• 48:06
  Let me see. Can I start putting the there we go? See,
• 48:10
  I could do it. I gotta figure out how to do. Hey, Jamaris,
• 48:14
  that's my baby. Hey brother, that got my sister, Kim.
• 48:19
  She said, had to move over here. Facebook was acting
• 48:21
  funny on my phone, baby Facebook. Let me tell you something.
• 48:24
  They don't want us. Let me tell you something, sisters.
• 48:28
  They don't want us to have those conversations. That ain't
• 48:33
  nobody but the devil that steped in. That's all that was.
• 48:35
  But they don't want us to have these conversations. They
• 48:38
  don't want us to talk about the trauma that black
• 48:42
  men and black women encounter every day. They don't want
• 48:44
  us to have those conversations because people want to be
• 48:46
  in attained. People want to get on here and they
• 48:49
  want to have uh, gender wars. They want to get
• 48:53
  on here and say, oh, black women, y'all are da
• 48:55
  da da, y'all allowed, y'all are this da That's what
• 48:57
  people want to do. Y'all want to be y'all want
• 48:59
  to be in a team. And I'm tired of being
• 49:00
  entertained because guess what, the entertainment is no longer funny anymore.
• 49:06
  I don't want to hear that. I don't want to
• 49:08
  hear y'all dragging black men and black women. Now. I
• 49:10
  don't want to hear that I'm holding black men accountable,
• 49:15
  just like I'm holding black women. So those conversations that
• 49:19
  we're gonna start having, if you're not interested in them,
• 49:23
  don't click it. Don't click it, because I'm gonna trigger
• 49:27
  a lot of people because I'm gonna wake up some
• 49:29
  topics that y'all have shot away from. You go on
• 49:34
  a podcast and you tell me where they're not having
• 49:36
  gender wars. Name me one, and I'm not talking about
• 49:42
  the religious ones. Point me in the direction of a
• 49:47
  podcast where black men and black women are really having
• 49:50
  healthy dialogue in conversations without all the because that's all
• 49:57
  I tend to see. We're not doing that over here
• 50:01
  on BlackGirl and Interrupted. Over here, we're about encouraging, empowering
• 50:06
  and uplifting and healing. That's what we're doing over here
• 50:12
  on Black Girl Interrupted. We're about healing. We're about talking
• 50:16
  about dysfunctional households, dysfunctional family relationships, dysfunctional family dynamics. But
• 50:24
  some of y'all not ready for that. Some of y'all
• 50:28
  still want to sweep it under the rug, push it
• 50:30
  to the back of it, and then you wonder why
• 50:32
  the cycle doesn't stop. You wonder why because you want
• 50:38
  to address it. You won't deal with it. You won't
• 50:41
  call it what it is, call it what it is,
• 50:45
  say what it is. But that's what we're doing going forward.
• 50:50
  I'm Black and Interrupted. We are having some great, beautiful conversations.
• 50:54
  I have some beautiful topics coming for you, guys. I
• 50:56
  have Women's History Month coming in March. I have Sexual
• 51:01
  Awareness Month in April, Nay Mother's Day. We have World
• 51:09
  Autism Day coming up, and I'm getting and I'm getting
• 51:12
  my ladies or men that are parents of autistic children.
• 51:16
  I want you on my show. I want to celebrate
• 51:18
  your children. I want the world to know what you
• 51:23
  guys go through and how you've managed to come out
• 51:26
  on top. I want you all on the show. If
• 51:29
  you are a sexual abuse survivor, let's get you on
• 51:32
  a show. Any conversation that you feel we need to
• 51:35
  have on Black Girl Interrupted, Let's put it on the table.
• 51:38
  Let's make these conversations happen. Don't be afraid. Stop worrying
• 51:43
  about what people have to say and what people think.
• 51:47
  Stop worrying about that, because if this is your healing,
• 51:51
  then let's heal. Kim say heavy on the healing. It's
• 51:56
  a lot of people that need that, and we do.
• 52:00
  And we do this because I could sit back and
• 52:03
  I look at some of the comments that people make
• 52:06
  on certain polls. You're wanting to put your hurt on
• 52:11
  someone else. No, baby, you need to fix that. We
• 52:17
  all need to hear. We all have all. Let me
• 52:19
  tell you something. We have all encountered something traumatic. We've
• 52:22
  all encountered or dealing with some type of generational trauma.
• 52:26
  We all are black men, black women. Yeah. I want
• 52:32
  to save space over here for black men where we
• 52:34
  could talk. I want black men to have a save
• 52:37
  mental space where they could talk without you black women
• 52:39
  calling them SaaS. Stop doing that. I want black women
• 52:48
  to come over here and be able to have a
• 52:50
  safe space without black men calling them loud and ghetto.
• 52:56
  That's what I want over here. That's what we're gonna
• 52:59
  have over here. I'm black girl interrupted. We are going
• 53:02
  to have safe spaces right here. We're gonna have healthy
• 53:05
  conversations with healthy dialogue without the disrespect. Because I'm gonna
• 53:10
  tell you right now, if you get on here and
• 53:12
  you act crazy and you get disrespectful, I'm gonna cut
• 53:14
  you off. Period. Don't bag chant on me and say,
• 53:18
  well ash that no, because I'm telling you what it
• 53:21
  is right now. Once someone on Wednesdays, I will do
• 53:27
  my wellness Wednesdays. Wellness Wednesdays I will designate for men
• 53:33
  and for women because men don't have a safe space.
• 53:38
  Men don't have spaces where they can talk and be
• 53:41
  heard without a woman coming and over talking. Well you
• 53:44
  did it, Nope. When we have these conversations, when I
• 53:49
  just have my black fel when I just have my
• 53:51
  men on here, women, I need you on mute fellas.
• 53:55
  When I have my women over here and we're having
• 53:57
  a conversation. I need you all on mute. Y'all gonna
• 54:00
  respect one another over here on Black Girl and Interrupted podcast,
• 54:03
  and I mean that. You're not gonna get a people
• 54:06
  to name, name calling and oh you. Nope. Respect people's opinions,
• 54:12
  Respect people's thoughts just because you don't have If you
• 54:16
  don't like it, you don't like it, don't beat them
• 54:19
  down or break them because you don't agree with what
• 54:21
  they say. We're not doing that over here. This is
• 54:28
  a beautiful space right here, and I'm gonna keep it
• 54:30
  as such. I've been doing this for full years now,
• 54:35
  maybe four five years, and we've had no problems, and
• 54:38
  we're gonna keep it that way. Y'all wanna get loud
• 54:42
  and call them out their names and stuff, go there
• 54:45
  to somebody else. We're not doing that over here. I'm
• 54:48
  not allowing the disrespect on my platform. Nope, I'm sorry, rewind,
• 54:54
  I'm not allowing that on our platform. We're not doing
• 54:58
  that over here.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: M hmm.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: So if you want to get disrespectful and you want
• 55:03
  to get loud and you want to get rowdy, my love,
• 55:04
  go find you another space to do that, but not
• 55:06
  over here. You won't do that over here. I'm so sorry,
• 55:11
  my love. You're not gonna do that over here, my love. Okay,
• 55:15
  just so you know, we're gonna have conversations about THEI
• 55:21
  uh huh. We're gonna have conversations about everything mental health,
• 55:30
  especially because y'all know I advocate for that as a
• 55:37
  person that deals with depression and anxiety. We're gonna have
• 55:42
  those conversations. I want you to share. I'm gonna share mine.
• 55:46
  You know, my life changed when my father passed. It did?
• 55:53
  I wasn't right? Am I better now? I can say
• 55:57
  that mm hmm. Losing a lot of loved ones, a
• 56:02
  lot of people that ever close to me hurt, then
• 56:06
  dealing with my health on top of that. But I'm
• 56:13
  but I will say I'm in a much better space mentally.
• 56:16
  I will say that physically, I'm gonna get there. I'm
• 56:21
  not gonna let this fibromyalgia and everything else that I
• 56:25
  have going on defeat me. I'm a winner. I'm a fighter.
• 56:30
  I'm strong. My mother and my father instilled that in me.
• 56:35
  I'm a fighter. I'm not gonna let that take me down.
• 56:40
  I promise I'm not. Long as I got my circle
• 56:44
  and my cocoon of people around me. I'm gonna win
• 56:47
  every time. Y'all gonna win every time. We're gonna win together,
• 56:52
  not just one person doing this. Are we gonna win together?
• 56:55
  When one person thoughts, get them up, pull them up,
• 56:57
  pick them up, drag them down to the finish line
• 57:02
  if you have to. That's what we're doing. Tuesdays Thursdays
• 57:11
  my podcast will still be. But like I say, once
• 57:14
  some one on Wednesdays, that's my Wellness Wednesday. That will
• 57:16
  be my date where we talk about all things in
• 57:19
  the Bible. We talk about whatever it is. If you
• 57:23
  need a prayer, if you need to be encouraged, if
• 57:25
  you need to be in powered, if you need to
• 57:26
  be uplifted, We're doing that on Wednesdays. Again, once someone
• 57:30
  on Wednesdays will be Wellness Wednesday. That one Thursday out
• 57:35
  of the month, it'll be talked to me Thursday. So
• 57:37
  whatever y'all want to talk about on that Thursday, that's
• 57:39
  what we're gonna talk about. If you want to talk
• 57:41
  about what's going on in your household, we'll talk about that.
• 57:44
  If you want to talk about something that's bothering you,
• 57:46
  we're gonna talk about that. That's what we're doing over
• 57:47
  here on Black Girl Interrupted. We're gonna change the game.
• 57:53
  We're gonna show them that Black Girl Interrupted is the
• 57:56
  place to be, is the space to be in because
• 57:58
  we're talking Emily, We're gonna talk about those families, seek
• 58:03
  those family secrets. H I got a lot of flag
• 58:09
  for that because I told some things about my father
• 58:11
  that family didn't like. But hey, it is what it is.
• 58:14
  I said it, I put it out there. That don't
• 58:19
  mean I love my dad any less, but he had
• 58:23
  some skeletons that affected my household. So those are the
• 58:29
  conversations we have in over here. That's what we're doing
• 58:32
  on Black Girl Interrupting. I am back, and I'm in
• 58:34
  full of fact. I'm in full swing. I am I am,
• 58:41
  and it feels good to be back. I appreciate y'all
• 58:44
  loving on me and welcoming me back. I appreciate the comments,
• 58:49
  I appreciate the shares. I appreciate that. And if not,
• 58:56
  I've never told y'all this before. I love you, and
• 59:01
  I thank y'all, and I mean it's from the bottom
• 59:05
  on my heart. I think y'all that even on my
• 59:08
  darkest days and even on your darkest days or whatever
• 59:12
  it is you was going through, you still stopped and
• 59:16
  came and gave me some love. I'll forever be grateful
• 59:19
  for that. I'm humbled that I told y'all before when
• 59:24
  I started podcasting, I didn't do this for money because
• 59:26
  I don't care about the cash some people do. I
• 59:31
  do this because this was what I enjoy doing. I
• 59:33
  do this because we don't have a lot of safe spaces.
• 59:36
  I do this to encourage somebody. I do this day
• 59:38
  empower somebody, to uplift somebody. This is why I do
• 59:41
  what I do. I don't do this look for the
• 59:43
  monetary value in it, because that's gonna come. I do
• 59:47
  all of this because I love doing this. I love
• 59:50
  loving on people. I love pouring into y'all. I love
• 59:53
  being able to encourage. I love being able to empower.
• 59:56
  I love being able to uplift. I love when people
• 59:58
  come to me and see Man, I watched the podcast
• 1:00:01
  the other day. Man, that really hit home for me.
• 1:00:04
  That makes me feel good more so than the monetary
• 1:00:08
  value that comes with it. Do I get paid for
• 1:00:11
  doing this, I do, but I don't care about that.
• 1:00:16
  I just care that I made a difference in somebody's life.
• 1:00:19
  I just cared that someone took the time and watched
• 1:00:22
  or listened and said that I was on point, that
• 1:00:26
  I helped them that they needed to hear that. That's
• 1:00:29
  what matters the most to me. I don't care about
• 1:00:30
  nothing else. And when people feel like that, that means
• 1:00:35
  they're really doing it from a genuine place and asking me.
• 1:00:39
  This is a genuine spot for me. I love this.
• 1:00:42
  I love doing this and it does feel good to
• 1:00:46
  be bad. And to my husband, thank you for being
• 1:00:51
  my biggest cheerleader. Now y'all gonna make me cry out.
• 1:00:54
  I'm not finna do it. To my sisters, thank y'all,
• 1:01:00
  but being my biggest cheerleaders, to my brothers, thank y'all.

• 1:01:24
  We made it. We finally got our space back. But
• 1:01:28

• 1:01:32
  It's gonna be a lot of people offended, but it

• 1:24:36
  a blessing to others and blessings on your podcast in
• 1:24:39
  twenty twenty five, let me say this to you, Rochelle.
• 1:24:42
  I love you so much. If people knew how me
• 1:24:44
  and you met, they would never believe that. Oh my god,
• 1:24:47
  it's been over fifteen years and I just love this lady.
• 1:24:51
  And you need to call me, girl, call me. We
• 1:24:54
  need to catch up. But yes, but I do free promotions,
• 1:24:58
  like I said, if you have a business, if you're
• 1:25:00
  trying to build a brand and you just want your
• 1:25:01
  name out, whatever it is, shoot it to me and
• 1:25:04
  I out of mind sharing, Like I say, you owe
• 1:25:06
  me nothing to do it. Promotion is free. I mean,
• 1:25:10
  we're not paying to be on social media, so utilize
• 1:25:13
  it for the greater good or somebody. Stop gatekeeping information.
• 1:25:16
  Stop trying to be a here you understand, let me,
• 1:25:18
  let me and I'm gonna end up podcast like this.
• 1:25:20
  Stop being a heter. Stop gatekeeping information. Because you holding
• 1:25:25
  onto information doesn't mean the person can't get information somewhere else. Okay,
• 1:25:31
  Like I said, if you have a business, if you
• 1:25:34
  have a brand, if you are a business owner and
• 1:25:36
  you're trying to get the word out, shoot me a
• 1:25:38
  kite's let's work. Let's cook because I'm all for it,
• 1:25:44
  because I want to see everyone won in twenty twenty five.
• 1:25:46
  I promise we have been down too long and it's
• 1:25:50
  time for us to win in order for us to
• 1:25:52
  know longer be at the bottom of the total pull.
• 1:25:54
  We gotta pull, and we gotta stick together, regardless if
• 1:25:57
  you like dislike whatever somebody has to say. Let's get
• 1:26:00
  to the bag. Let's go up. Let's create generational wealth.
• 1:26:05
  Let's cancel the generational drama. Let's build beautiful black businesses.
• 1:26:10
  Let's be beautiful black business owners, and I mean successful
• 1:26:14
  black business owners. You understand. Let's start loving on one another.
• 1:26:18
  You get what I'm saying. Let's do that. Let's start
• 1:26:22
  forgiving people or leave them where they are. If these
• 1:26:24
  people keep mistreating you, forgive them and let them go.
• 1:26:29
  Boundaries start telling people no, you understand, stop accepting people
• 1:26:33
  back into your life and they keep constantly mistreating you.
• 1:26:36
  Stop it. We're no longer doing that in twenty twenty five.
• 1:26:39
  So I leave y'all with this. Whatever you didn't accomplish yesterday,
• 1:26:47
  God gave you another day to day. There are gonna
• 1:26:51
  be some people that go to sleep tonight and I
• 1:26:53
  wake up tomorrow. If God grants you that gift to
• 1:26:56
  wake up tomorrow, you'd be grateful for that, and you
• 1:27:00
  pay forward. Love on somebody, Check on somebody, Reach on
• 1:27:04
  some reach out to somebody. You don't know what a
• 1:27:07
  smile or text the hug could do to somebody's day.
• 1:27:11
  There's somebody right now that's struggling that doesn't know where
• 1:27:14
  which way to go. Reach out to women. Love on them,
• 1:27:17
  pour into them, let them know your care. Stop being selfish.
• 1:27:26
  I'm so stop being selfless and be selfish with yourself.
• 1:27:31
  Take the time out for yourself, relax, relate, release, and breathe.
• 1:27:39
  If you need to separate yourself from people, do what
• 1:27:41
  you have to do for you for your peace and
• 1:27:42
  your benefit. Stop holding onto people that mean you're no
• 1:27:47
  good you understand. Be mindful with who you ask to
• 1:27:51
  pray over you, because you don't know how and what
• 1:27:55
  they're praying for me. I'm gonna pray with pure intention
• 1:28:02
  because a lot of y'all I know your stories. A
• 1:28:07
  lot of y'all I'm proud of that you've overcome everything
• 1:28:12
  that God that people say you weren't going to ever
• 1:28:14
  accomplish or get over. So the ones that are unhealed,
• 1:28:20
  that are bitter, get help for that. Ain't nothing wrong
• 1:28:25
  with going to therapy. I'm in it. Still, fix yourself well,
• 1:28:32
  Michael Jackson say it starts with the man in the mirror.
• 1:28:38
  Stop conveying your negative energy on people. Stop that walk away.
• 1:28:47
  Sometimes y'all pick and choose your battles. A lot of
• 1:28:53
  y'all trying to fight battles that you ain't meant to
• 1:28:55
  get into and I leave y'all with that, but I
