00:00And I just want to dip and slide and make it through the rest of the festival.
00:05And if you don't understand why it takes strength, courage, and wisdom, and good ankles to make it through the Essence Festival weekend, allow me to over-explain it to you.
00:19Yes! Praise the Lord Jesus!
00:22Sunday is the day that the Lord has made. Don't just rejoice and be glad in it.
00:25Yolanda Adams and them.
00:26No, but seriously. Hallelujah.
00:31Can we just take a moment and truly appreciate the fact that Essence is out here changing the game and including trans women in the conversation?
00:37Way to, like, take charge, Essence. Like, come on. The black community is not limited.
00:43And to include someone like India Moore, my soul is so full. So full.
00:52And look at this. And listen.
00:54We already have a hard time existing in this world.
00:57So I think it's really important for me to combat queerphobia and transphobia in our communities so black people who are also queer and trans can at least find safety at home.
01:06This is the voice of a woman who has had so much Essence Festival in her life.
01:11And it's my final night.
01:13Do I have enough in me to scream in case Beyonce comes out for Frankie, Beverly, and Mays?
01:19I really hope you guys know that if you come to the blackest festival that there is, that you need to bring some white to wear.
01:28Because black people love an all-white party, honey.
01:31So tonight for Frankie, Beverly, and Mays, you better be putting on your white.
01:35Because them uncles don't play when it comes to cookout attire.
01:39Also, when you go to the cookouts, why would you wear all white?
01:41Because I'm going to drop sauce everywhere.
01:43I would like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for making beds possible.
01:57What did I do to serve this blessing?
02:02Until next time, which is the 2020 Essence Festival, I know you're going to get your tickets now that you done seen all that's going on out here.
02:10I'm Danielle Young, and this is The Overexplainer Reacts.
