00:00How about Leonard Cole? My house ain't over the top
00:03Hello, hello, to the happy people
00:10At the games, as the Romans would say
00:12Getting amused while they're watching the play
00:14Sitting first class, sipping champagne
00:16To complain while they're clapping, people
00:18What's happening, evil? Made a world for you
00:21Welcome to your heaven in my living hell
00:24I'm trapped, I'm lethal, it's overdue
00:27I need to make it to my heaven if I fail
00:29They preach in religion, to give to the needy
00:32Half the world's starving cause some people greedy
00:35The people need me, to voice opinions
00:38Things will never change cause we're talking billions
00:40Hard work and resistance may give you hope
00:43And wish for a miracle, while you're broke
00:46God, do you hear me? Your son just spoke
00:49Maybe you'll reply, if I provoke
00:52If you don't give a fuck, then I don't give a fuck
00:55No one gives a fuck about us, about us
00:57I said, if you don't give a fuck, then I don't give a fuck
01:00No one gives a fuck about us, about us
01:03I said, if they don't give a fuck, then we don't give a fuck
01:06No one gives a fuck about us, about us
01:09So Sid, if they don't give a f***, we don't give a f***, no one gives a f*** about us.
01:15Hello, hello to the happy people.
01:17Okay, hello and welcome to Girls United Summit, GU Summit.
01:22Is everybody excited to be here? Let me hear you.
01:27You guys are early birds, so please do take advantage of everything laid out.
01:31There's some amazing activations that are actually not going all day, so you want to make sure that you get all that.
01:37My name is Stephanie Noni Donovan. I'm Vice President of Video and Branded Content here at Essence.
01:43And you guys are really in for a treat.
01:46I just want to lay some ground rules, so there are going to be some panels throughout the day.
01:51Each panel is going to ask you, do you have a question?
01:54This is your chance. This is your time to shine.
01:56If you have a question, do not be shy.
01:58You're going to walk up to this microphone.
02:00There's actually going to be a camera over there catching your shot,
02:03so you want to make sure you're kind of cheating your body a little bit so we can see the side of you.
02:08Ask your question.
02:09Say who you are. Say where you're from.
02:11And then ask your question.
02:12If you're going to the bathroom, just beware.
02:15Anybody over here, you want to kind of dip down and go this way and go across.
02:19You don't really want to try not to cross the stage or try to go backstage or anything.
02:24If you have any questions, there are tons of people that are working here that can answer your question.
02:28You know where the bathroom is.
02:29Finally, if there's a moment that's happening in the show, if you feel inspired, please give them a clap.
02:36If something is funny that's happening, please laugh out loud, not to yourself.
02:41We want to make sure that the energy is all translated to the people at home.
02:45And I want you guys to get the most out of this experience.
02:49So stop me. Stop anybody that you see that's up here that's working at Essence.
02:54If you're into getting into any of these fields, make sure you're taking advantage of being in these rooms.
02:59And being in these spaces.
03:01All right. And above all else, have a good time.

18:36It's the fastest part, but once y'all get it, y'all going to be like, oh, I'm bad.
18:40Okay.
18:40So let's get into it.
18:41I'm going to mirror you guys.
18:43So we're going to start.
18:44It's going to go like this.
18:46Your arm's going to go out.
18:47So you're mirroring me.
18:48So arms going this way.
18:50And if you want to have this one ready, I always like to have this one ready.
18:52You know what I'm saying?
18:53Because you're going to do this.
18:54Okay.
18:54So you're going to go five and six, seven.
19:00Okay.
19:01So, okay, if y'all don't open up, you're going to miss the next move.
19:04Okay.
19:05So you've got to open up on seven.
19:08Okay.
19:08So it's going to go five and six, seven.
19:14Okay.
19:14That seven is crucial.
19:16You will miss the next move if you do not hit that seven.
19:19Okay.
19:20So five, six, seven from the top.
19:24Kick, one, two, three, four, five, and six, seven.
19:31Okay.
19:32Now, so, okay.
19:35And it might be a six and.
19:38Just, you know, it was given and.
19:40You know what I'm saying?
19:40Seven, six and.
19:42So six and, y'all, don't forget that.
19:44So it goes five and six and.
19:48And then from there, you're going to hit it like this and come back out.
19:54And then you're going to cross and then back out.
19:58Okay.
19:59So let's do that again.
20:00Make sure we got it.

20:06Break it.
20:07Seven out again.
20:09And hit and.
20:11Okay.
20:12Let's take that from the top.
20:13Let's take it from the top.
20:14Let's get a little, the whole motion of it.
20:16Okay.
20:17So it goes five, six, seven, eight.
20:21Go one, two, three, four, five, and six, and seven, and eight, and.
20:31Okay.
20:32We got all the ands in here today.
20:35And.
20:35Let's do that again.
20:36It's a little faster.
20:37Okay.
20:38So I got, like I said, the and.
20:39Break it.
20:40If you don't, if you don't get that motion, it's, it's over.
20:43It's over.
20:43You won't finish the dance.

21:12Go one, two, three, four, go five, and six, and.
21:18Okay.
21:20You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
21:22Hold on, hold on, hold on.
21:25You know what?
21:27You can see what happened was I taught you the arms.
21:30I didn't give you that kick.
21:31So I need, I need to, I need you to incorporate that kick with it.
21:34Okay.
21:35So when you, okay.
21:36So when you hit, when you hit five and your leg is going to come up and it's going to five
21:42and.
21:43So I'm mirroring you.
21:44So it's this, it's this leg.
21:46Five, your right leg.
21:48Your right leg is going to come forward.
21:50So when you hit six, five and six, it's going to be right there.
21:54Okay.
21:54I believe in y'all.
21:56Are y'all, are y'all, y'all got it?
21:57How y'all feeling?
21:58Y'all feeling good?
22:00Okay.
22:00Let's do it again.
22:01That's what I had to do from the back so y'all can see the whole thing.
22:04You know what I'm saying?
22:05Here we go.
22:06Five, six, seven, eight.
22:09Go.
22:09One, two, three, four.
22:12Go.
22:13Five and six and seven and eight and.
22:18Okay.
22:20How the hell was that?
22:21So I gave a little, you can do a little hip.
22:23It's whatever you want right there.
22:25You can be bouncing it or you can do a little pop on that little.
22:29It's whatever you want.
22:30Okay.
22:30So you give it whatever you need.
22:32Let's finish up this dance because y'all, we are ready.
22:34It's.
22:37Okay.
22:38It ain't done, but everything else is easy.
22:41It's like easy coasting.
22:42Okay.
22:43So that was the fastest, hardest part.
22:45Y'all good now?
22:46So after you hit five and six and seven and eight and you're going to do the exact same
22:51thing with this motion right here.
22:53So you're going to go one, two.
22:56So you're just going to go real slow.
22:58It's like slow motion and then bring it right back out.
23:00Okay.
23:01So when you did this, just do that same thing.
23:05Write it on out.
23:06Okay.
23:07Just like that.
23:08Okay.
23:08And then from there, you say, you're just going to do the same thing you did earlier,
23:12two beats, and then you're going to raise the roof.
23:15Because you're like DJ, turn the music up.
23:17That's how it ends.
23:18Okay.
23:19So let's go real slow with the counts, with the counts, and then we're going to do it
23:24with the music slow version.
23:25Okay.
23:26I got y'all.
23:26I was looking out.
23:27I was like, we got to slow this down.
23:29Here we go.
23:29Five, six, seven, eight.
23:33Go one, two, three, four.
23:37Go five and six and seven and eight.
23:41And one, two, three, four, five, six, hit it, seven, eight.
23:48And that's it.
23:49That's it.
23:50That's it.
23:51That's it.
23:52Okay.
23:53Yeah, okay.
23:55One more game with counts, and then we're going to do the slow.
23:58I want to make sure everybody feels comfortable.
24:00You know what I'm saying?
24:01Here we go.
24:02Five, six, seven, eight.
24:05Go one, two, three, four.
24:09Go five and six and seven and eight.
