00:00Here's the thing about black women entrepreneurs. We have been doing this forever, okay? I don't know
00:04a single black woman who doesn't have some sort of side hustle. We all got like three or four of
00:08them. And so while we are burdened by trying to make a lot of things work, I think we actually
00:14should push on all fronts. You know, sometimes you're forced to try and make a decision because
00:18you're like, oh, let me put all my hopes and dreams into this one thing. But we are actually
00:22blessed with the ability to move in a lot of different spaces at the same time. Not everybody
00:26has that. Okay? Not everybody can do that. If we had 12 hats, we wear 13 of them, okay?
00:32For entrepreneurs who are looking to break, who are looking to do their thing, it's like
00:36just go. Do all of it. All at the same time. We are capable of doing it. And we have
00:40our
00:40sisters to depend on if you ever feel overburdened. Don't do it at all. If I know, I can always
00:45call you. Yes. And you will be there to help. Yes. We can call each other, you know? And
00:49that's the way it should be.
