00:00Hello! Yes!
00:02It's like ready, even on Easter Sunday.
00:04Okay, really quick, who are y'all wearing?
00:06Who am I wearing? I'm going to mispronounce it, but I'm Jason Bolden.
00:09He styled me today.
00:11Hello, Aliette.
00:12Jason Bolden styled me today, and I didn't even have time to look at the tags.
00:15But I tell you what, we wanted to give Easter swag on Essence Day.
00:20Come on MJ, who you wearing?
00:21Well, actually, you said Jason. I'm wearing Jason Woo.
00:23Woo! Jason.
00:25Yeah, I wanted to be a little summery, a little springy, even though I don't know what time it is over here.
00:29No, come on, it's spring off the time.
00:31It's always spring and summer every day.

00:33We've lost track. So as former Black women in Hollywood honorees,
00:35what is it like to come back and just to watch the magic happen?
00:39It just feels amazing because it's just like this family is growing.
00:43The sisters are showing up for each other and supporting each other and lifting each other up.
00:47It just makes me feel proud to be a part of this amazing community, truly.
00:50And I feel like I'm just happy to have a seat at the table.
00:53I mean, you know, I'm many intersectionalities, and I love to be in that space of strong Black women
00:58and also feel that I'm being inspired by strong Black women because I am one myself.
