Transcript
00:00Oh beautiful and unbothered. I would say self-care. I love like to do a good face mask and watch a
00:15movie and just like taking care of yourself like sleeping, eating and just like really taking time
00:21to like really know how you're feeling whether it's like emotionally or physically and just
00:25basically taking care of yourself. Being your healthiest self like to me that's something I
00:30live by like it's not about looking like the girl next to me it's not about looking like that blonde
00:34on the cover of a magazine it's about being your best self and your healthiest self but it's amazing
00:39to be here and I'm sorry but like black women are all beautiful. I just kind of do what I feel
00:45like doing you know I don't worry about what other people might think of me I kind of go with whatever
00:51I feel the moment needs. My stylist always laughs with me because whenever I perform she's always
00:57like I feel like is this you ever just and then she goes oh it's you so it's fine because I just
01:02I wear what makes me feel great and I think that's the way to do it just wear the thing or be the
01:08thing that makes you feel good. To not listen to people who say things I feel like it's just important
01:13to stay in your lane and do what you do and do you really overall. Really truly being positive
01:19about your outlook on things right. I also feel like there's some really beautiful people in the
01:25world right and while we have you know this wide spectrum of personalities I think it's important
01:31to gravitate to people who are trying to better you in life whether they're encouraging you to
01:36follow your dreams or they're helping you build your business or just calling to check in on you
01:41and I think it's important for us to do the same thing you know to reciprocate that energy
01:45and you live a an amazing life. To not let negative energy get you down. No time for negative
01:52people or negative energy. But I I know what's most important and that's my family and so I keep that
01:58in mind and I also think is it going to bother me in five days five minutes five hours and I put my
02:06priorities together and if it's not going to bother me in five days I may not do anything about it and
02:13that's sort of how I figure it out. Girl I find a beach once a month sometimes twice a month
02:18and matter of fact I'm due for a beach on Friday and I just try to stay centered and I stay grounded
02:23I got good friends that remind me that they don't care who I am I still need to take the trash out
02:26and my car's still dirty so you know you got to have the people keep you grounded. Understanding that
02:31we're all we're all in this life together but separate everybody's living their own their own
02:36journey and not to compare yourself to others and just let everything flow. Stress will make you
02:42older than what you are and heart disease is real. We don't need all the stress all anxiety just let
02:48it flow things are going to happen the way they're supposed to happen just stay focused with your eyes
02:52on the prize and just understand that there's something out there for everybody. It doesn't always
02:56have to be a competition and that's why I love stuff like this being surrounded by other black women
03:00that's like we in this together it's not a competition we all about to win you know what I mean?
