00:26sip and spill i'm spilling a little tea with my sister did i do that right yes you did singer
00:33writer social media sensation you may remember her from love and hip-hop wildin out she's on
00:40dish nation she's everywhere she's also my cancerian sister who has a birthday coming up
00:45on july 6th without further ado the amazing jesse woo give it up hey y'all happy sunday happy it's
00:54the lord's day and i know you don't play about the lord i don't play about jesus and that's why
00:59i'm having communion amen amen yes god so i gotta ask you jesse i mean i talked about your versatility
01:07just a moment ago and everything that you that you do well but i do want to ask you as somebody who
01:12has burst out on the scene as a social media sensation we saw you initially loving hip-hop as
01:17well how does it feel for you or how difficult was it for you to be fully seen because you've been an
01:22artist you've been an amazing singer but now i feel like people are really starting to understand
01:26and come along with you in that journey how did that work out for you i don't feel like i'm fully
01:30seen yet oh expound on that yeah like i still have a lot to do i feel like i don't know i don't know
01:36that's a cancer thing but i'm just never like satisfied with anything maybe that's an immigrant
01:41thing i don't know it's like i'm never satisfied with everything and i feel like i have so much
01:46more to do like a lot of people still don't know that i sing a lot of still a lot of people still
01:52don't know that like i am on while now or like it's just sometimes it takes time there's so much
01:57content out there there's so many people out there with platforms so everybody doesn't always gravitate
02:02to you immediately so it's gonna take some more time i'm gonna put some pressure on you because i
02:07want you to give yourself some flowers and i know that that feel might feel a little strange but i think
02:11too as when you're a successful business woman you're always aiming for the next thing you're very
02:16ambitious sometimes you don't stop to celebrate yourself what's one thing right now that you can
02:21note and say i'm proud of me well damn i'm proud i took a shower this morning i'm proud i took a
02:30shower this morning let me tell you why it is so hot it is so hot this heat has been killing me and
02:38you know we've all been working essence is so much fun but last night the misty concert kind of took me
02:43out and i didn't know if i was gonna be able to like i was gonna literally like just roll out of
02:48bed just roll in here like i was gonna listen y'all just gonna get what i give y'all like so i'm proud
02:53that i took a shower no but i'm also proud that uh i keep going yeah i'm proud that i always keep
03:00going even when i fail even when i fall i stumble i always get back up it may hurt i may cry but i
03:07always get back up facts on that so you talk about being proud you're also very proud of your
03:12haitian roots yes you are you don't make it it's literally a point seemingly in everything that you
03:18do which i love but why why is it so important for you to make sure that people understand from a
03:23cultural perspective where you come from and how you move as a result of that man like make some
03:28noise for haitians like there's a lot of hello okay but um i think first of all we're in new
03:38orleans there's so much haitian history here in new orleans i feel like there's so much creole people
03:43here who don't know they have haitian ancestors i just met someone like two hours ago and she was
03:48like yeah baby you know my grandma now they won't from heading you know like but she doesn't know
03:53because she didn't have that connection she didn't spend time with her grandparents and stuff so i
03:58think it's important and also like we all need to pay attention to black countries and what's
04:04happening in black countries like not just haiti haiti's right there right but also like
04:10there's so much going on like in nigeria so much going on in the congo right now so much going on in
04:15the um guinea like it's so much going on these black countries and we need to be connected to that
04:21and i think the way america's moving we need to start thinking about what's going to be our utopia
04:27facts okay what we gonna do i remember like there was a time in history when black americans said you
04:34know what we're gonna make liberia our utopia you know i mean like we need to go back to that so
04:38that's why i'm gonna always let people know i'm haitian i'm haitian i'm haitian i'm haitian you
04:42should always be proud of where you come from yes so um i want to shift a little bit to dating
04:47because this we're spilling tea it's a sip and spill okay you can take we both just do it if you
04:53have a drink in your hand just take a sip for us as well all right here we go so wow i heard this
05:00is some good ass um rose is yeah so i heard you're a fan of reality yes dating yes shows as i am so i
05:10would like to be on married at first sight no no if you could pick a show i do i do no i don't have
05:16anywhere else to go okay that's it for me okay there's no other options but for you if you could
05:22be on a reality dating television show what would it be and why man i would love to host one okay but
05:29if i did have to pick one i would do it would be it would either be love is blind or uh temptation
05:38island do y'all watch temptation island that shit is crazy wait a minute so you giving me the side
05:43that from married at first sight and you want to go on love is not come on now let me tell you what
05:47married at first sight you got to get married at first sight like you have to actually sign the
05:52paperwork and then if you don't um work out you got to get divorced there was one season totally no
05:59there was one girl there was one season i can't remember her name but they had hooked up with a whole
06:03scammer that man ain't had no job no nothing lord nothing jesus he just came in there with his
06:08turd field draw and then when it was time to divorce he wouldn't allow he wouldn't sign the
06:15divorce so it was crazy like she had to like sue him or something so i don't know like
06:19married at first sight um you don't know about that but love is blind i could do that i could do that
06:25you also apparently could do medium ugly men yes that is your dating preference but those does
06:32anybody know what a medium ugly man is raise your hand if you we got some hands in the house but
06:38those who don't know please clarify you gotta first it's two type of man that i like it's two type of

11:45like split i gotta poke your eyes out you know what i'm saying it takes them about a year or two just
11:50yeah it's like it's a lot like i think it's just so much and we just have too many options like even
11:57me as a woman like sometimes i do feel like social media sometimes will make you feel like you have
12:02all these options but when you go out with people the conversation is not good you know i mean like
12:09it's not a good time so i don't know and i feel like people are just afraid of commitment nowadays
12:14y'all don't want to commit y'all are scared which i get it i have i have anxiety yeah i have a little
12:20bit of anxiety because i do feel like when i this is weird but when i have expressed that i like somebody
12:26like it's weird like a guy will gauge me and then when i express that i like them back it's like
12:31okay now i want you to chase me like i don't get it with guys like it's like it's just weird so
12:37any of the fellas in here answer does anybody have any clarity to it's weird like do y'all find we're

16:27that i did with michael bron who's a huge huge huge haitian dj international dj so i'm gonna we're
16:33gonna film that video soon so i could put it out like august and then i i recently did a song with
16:39young willis who's a big nigerian producer out of nigeria and he doesn't have his papers to come here
16:46so what can you do to help well i can't i can't however you know my llc not set up for that yet
16:54however i'm i can't go there so we're going to explore me going there and shooting a video there
16:59it's a really really good song it's a piano vibe really good it's french it's creole i think it's
17:05going to be really good especially not just for like caribbean and haitians but also there's so
17:09many french-speaking countries in africa and also i like how here in america people are gravitating
17:17once more to caribbean sounds african sounds like that's all black music like black music is black music
17:24we should all be familiar with hip-hop reggae compa all that like we all have to know about that
17:31because that's our roots so yeah okay so speaking of roots we've talked business woman that you go
17:39we go from talking about women's time of the month to slavery only with you i love roots
17:46so we've talked about you know being a business woman being successful we've talked about femininity
17:51we've talked about you know you're just your creative muscles your music so with that being said
17:56three words that describe your journey so far as a woman three words wow uh wow three words jesus
18:07difficult rewarding and
18:13amazing i love it yeah with that said because i like that there's balance to that yeah you know
18:21you say difficult but then you say hey i've had some great moments rewarding so with that said i mean
18:26we have some amazing women and gentlemen yeah in the crowd um a word of advice to to those who
18:33because you've been grinding a long time yeah to those who are pushing to those who may be pivoting
18:38into something different something new yeah um your advice to people who are really in a season where
18:44they're just doing the work and trusting god but really desiring a breakthrough yeah man i i know
18:50it sounds cliche but never give up like literally charlie rouse said something yesterday and i was like
18:54oh my god like it really touched me because i feel like this is where i am i feel like i'm always
19:01catching another wind yeah not a second one i've had my second wind i've had my third wind
19:06like and charlie rouse said man if i don't make it by 30 i'm gonna make it by 40 and i'll make it by 40
19:12i'm gonna make it by 50 and if i don't make it by 50 like as long as you're alive there is still time
19:18for you to do whatever it is that you want to do yeah and the way the world is moving you make your
19:24own decisions you can create whatever you want like i i remember being a young kid and you know
19:31being haitian most of my family members were all nurses doctors lawyer you have to be engineer
19:39and i was like i'm not going to be a doctor lawyer i'm not doing none of that i always knew i wanted a
19:45microphone i just i just did not know what i was going to do with it but i knew i always wanted to do
19:49this and so success is relative what they used to look at success or what they used to look at as
19:56failure now is a success absolutely this is a success me sitting here as a success you know i
20:02mean so you can always do whatever you want to do you can create whatever you want to do the future
20:08belongs to creators literally the future belongs to creators somebody created this yeah this was
20:16somebody's dream so it's never too late for you to dream up another dream it's never too late for
20:21you to create something it's never too late for you to push boundaries in your life never as long
20:27as you have breath in your lungs as long as god wakes you up there is never ever ever too late for
20:33you i love that yeah it's never too late for you all to make sure you keep up with all the amazing
20:37things yeah yeah jesse was doing so i want to let one more time everything you got going on and also how
