Speaker 1 (00:02):
Peace to the planet. I go by the name of Charlemagne,
the god with a T and T. Black future makers
presented by a T and T dreaming black. We're talking
with black creators who are shaping the now, the new,
and the next. For culture. It's black to business, y'all. Okay,
I am here with one of my favorite folks. She
goes by the name of Mrs Carrie Champion. Man, you

(00:23):
see her on so many different things. I mean, you
know her face from ESPN, you know, or from some
show with some wrestler dude, I can't remember his name
right now. Carry Champion is here. His name is Dwayne
the Rock Johnson. Okay, it's called Titan Games. Let me
ask you a question, who would Carry Champion be without that,

(00:46):
without the TV, without the media, just Carry Champion? Who
with Carry Champion? Carry Champion is a strong advocate of
black and brown women. I would be a leader in
my community, more than likely running in some sort of
office that made sure that women were highlighted and taking
care of which I already am. But I'd be probably
I'd start a franchise of foundations called Brown Girls Dream.

(01:08):
That's the same with my foundation. So that's what I would.
I just wouldn't be a mentor in the leader in
the community for black women. What's something you wish more
Black people knew about your profession. This might sound controversial,
but I wish black people knew that it is extremely
difficult to be the only one on TV and feel
as if they're representing them in a way that makes sense.
So when they get on our case and when they

(01:30):
treat us bad, we want them to know that we
just need some support of some grace and if we
don't get it right, which is bound to happen because
we're in front of the camera, our folks be so
hard on us. So I'm saying, let's just go back
to that grace and mercy. We all need it. For
