00:00I want to go back to something that you said earlier that just stuck with me and it makes
00:04me think of the Black experience and then what you just said now. Earlier you were describing
00:09your survivor experience and the Rice incident, but you said, if I can't eat, you can't eat either.
00:17Yes. And it made me just look at that statement and how far as Black folk we have come and we
00:27have watched others eat. And many times we have watched our communities starve. So I want to bring
00:35that comment right back up to you. So repeating that back to you, what does it make you think of,
00:41even those words that you said, if I can't eat, as it pertains to this election, you can't eat
00:47either. I really think you all were speaking about the comment about how Black women have been
00:54so supportive. And now it's time for you to support Black women and women who are doing
01:03things. You know, we are always trying to uplift our communities and now we need other people in
01:09on the fight to do things that not only benefit the greater good, but also benefit us as Black
01:14women. Because a lot of places, we're not doing the best. So I do want to highlight that. And I
01:22do think you should make it personal. I do think you should talk to your friends. You know, you
01:27don't have to hurt, you know, be negative, be positive. You know, like you, like me, you're
01:33my friend. Don't you want to see good things for me and my family as well? Even though maybe,
01:40you know, you have to take a little bit of L for me to get a huge W. I mean, I think those
01:47sort of things. You already up here. I'm trying, I'm trying, you know, help me up the rope. You
01:52know, can we, can we do something? I think it's time and I don't think it's too much to ask your
01:57friends to care about you in the group chat. I was writing out my group chats and some I have where
02:03a lot of the things, the group chat is already like-minded about. And I am actually going to
02:09task myself to talk to people in group chats that are not all like-minded. So it might be like my
02:15kid's school or a athletic club for my kids where everybody is not, it's not just an echo chamber. I
02:22think it's important to get out there and to talk about issues. And you don't have to talk about
02:27specific candidates, but you could talk about issues that maybe you're like-minded about and
02:32really just throw it out there. I think that the time is now for us to, you know, move out of our
02:39comfort zone on some of these issues, these topics in our group chats and in our personal
02:44relationships.
