left and right and see who is inyour community, because
oftentimes you do really havesomeone who can help you out
right next to you.
You know, I was not a contentcreator by any means.

that's what they're here to do.

His personal photographyfocuses on showcasing the
experience of Black, latin andthe queer individuals.
You may have seen him in Vogue.
He works with a lot of brandslike Fridays, outshine, my Mochi
(02:11):
Shaparo and Vita Coco.
And that's Roberto.
So let's just jump right into it.
One of the things I love aboutyou guys is that you guys are
black, latin Americans, correct,and you guys use a lot of that
in your creations, whether it'svibrant colors, whether it's
educating people about yourbackground.
So let's talk about that, liketell us a little bit where you
(02:33):
guys are from, how you guysbecame who you are, the men you
are today, and let's go with thestart there sure?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
um, my name is roberto.
I am from new jersey, all day,every day.
My dad is puerto rican and mymom is from saint thomas.
I came to la in search becominga restaurant manager, which did
happen, but then covid happenedand I actually did not embrace
being a creator until COVID andthis guy actually, but I can
(03:06):
talk about that later.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, me I'm Dimitri.
I'm originally from New York.
My parents are both military.
I don't know if I told you that, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I'm a military brat.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, okay, yeah, both met in the military.
So my mother's from New York,my father's from Kentucky, so
total opposite country city.
We ended up moving to Nashville.
So I finished high school inNashville, went to college there
.
My mother's side she has she'sthe Puerto Rican side.
My father's black.
He has like Native American,like his mother like, but I
(03:38):
never got to meet her, so Idon't know.
So black, native American andPuerto Rican on my mother's side
.
But I didn't get to likeimmerse myself into that life as
like later on, because mygrandmother passed away and then
, you know, we moved.
So I think 2020, like you know,we were stuck in the house.
I started like really trying tofind out who like my family was
and like where we come from andlike learn Because people were
(03:59):
dying.
You know what I mean.
So I really started to jumpinto that life and I love it.
I found a cousin in Jerseyactually on my 23andMe, so it
actually works.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So definitely try that Wait, do you talk yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
we haven't got to meet in person because every
time I go back she's busy or I'mbusy, but we keep in touch.
Do you guys look alike?
I don't think so.
I mean, we're the same ageactually.
Oh, wow, yeah, I know her.
So apparently I told my motherabout it.
She's like, oh, that's like hergreat aunt's granddaughter or
something like that.
I don't know, but she knows hergreat aunt, it's her aunt.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay, well, 23andMe Go get your facts.
My 23andMe yeah, about like theimportance of creating
inclusivity in the world ofcontent creation.
I think you guys have done agreat job.
I know you work with what itwas the company called dule dule
deletool, deletool, oh metayeah yeah, yeah, and I see you
guys do a lot of Latinx kind ofactivations and things like that
(05:03):
.
Yeah, how'd you get into that?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, so I'm a content creator, so I signed up
or submitted for a Latinxcreator program through Meta,
which is Instagram and Facebook,and I got it.
I got in.
So basically, that wasbasically a program for creators
, latinx creators specificallyto kind of shine, and they paid
(05:25):
us to do content.
They also gave us opportunities.
Like you know, latinx geartowards Latinx individuals,
creators, and once I did that,literally everything kind of
like took off in the Latinxworld because they're very
supportive, that is, a verysupportive like like area.
So but yeah, even now like theprogram is still over, but I'm
(05:47):
still like involved like heavily.
So that's kind of how I gotinto it, like maybe two years
ago specifically.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So what would you say ?
Your specialty was in that Likewhat do you think stood out in
your portfolio?
That they was like okay, we'regoing to pick him.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So what I know stood out was that I was very I'm just
very diverse, Like I can fitinto so many different
categories that they had.
They had beauty, which I wasdoing I can do skin and hair,
you know.
They had like like for athletes, which I'm a professional
dancer, you know, and I doworkouts, so it's like sports
food, like literally anycategory I can fit into, so they
(06:25):
can literally use me for likeanything.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
How about you, roberto?
What was your like?
How do you take, I guess,what's the?
I don't want to follow thisquestion.
How do you make sure that youare using your inclusion in your
culture, in your work inphotography or your you know
content creation?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
in your work in photography or your, you know,
content creation.
Yes, I mean, for me,representation is very important
and seeing people like me inbigger spaces.
I found that when I do personalprojects, when I get creative
on my own, what I find drives methe most and makes it most
personal is when I can see theperson on the other side and
then see a version of myself.
(07:06):
And when it comes tophotography, you know, a lot of
times we see all these likeother white people or Asian
people and all these like fun,kind of like things, but we
don't get to see enough ofourselves.
So I just was like you knowwhat?
I want?
To see more of myself.
I'm gonna shoot more peoplethat look like me and just
really, really represent that.
(07:26):
And it's so difficult to findpeople who shoot black people in
a way that is complimentary, soI've made myself, I've made
sure that I do that, and so,yeah, that's.
You know it's funny becausethat's what he was saying.
So Daletu is like a spinoff ofwe, the Culture.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Daletu.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Daletu oh okay, it's a spinoff of we, the Culture.
It was a meta program for blackcreators.
So we have been a part of that,like sort of on the sidelines
from that inception.
So when Dalit 2 came around andwe're like, oh well, we're also
Latinx, so let's apply for thisas well.
But he got it.
I didn't.
But you know, I've made like asemi-living being his plus one
(08:09):
to all these events.
No, literally it was like alittle group that we had all the
plus ones that always show upto all the events with the
creators.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean, that's the whole point, right Network.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I'm in the door.
It doesn't matter how I gotthere.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What you do once you're in the door is up to you.
Like he can only do so, muchExactly.
I'm not on the face sheet, butI'm still there also a couple of
projects that you guys worktogether on.
Um, good food gurus.
Now y'all know I'm a foodie, Icook, I go out, I'm making my
things, but how?
When did you guys start that?
Was it like the love of yourshared love of food together?
(08:42):
He was just like we're justgonna like try this and see how
it works.
And now it's gotten real.
It's gotten real animated.
Now it's like he's like dashingacross, like where you go, but
it's like how did that comeabout?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
um, so good for the guru started in 2020 again,
which a lot of things started.
Um, but, yeah, we both likefood, we both eat, we both cook,
we like to go out and try newfood, new things and new foods
around the city, whatever citywe're in.
Um, so, yeah, we just we weretaking photos and videos of food
.
I think think he does Yelp alot.
Let's just start making a pagefor it and find places and
(09:16):
hidden gems in LA and otherstates like East Coast.
When we go back for people tojust like, okay, I want to go
here.
We started that and then, withthat, we also added in the
charity aspect, because we bothdo that as well.
We was like we can just make itthrough the food page and, just
you know, make it like a wholecharity, annual charity.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Okay, what's the name of your annual charity?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
A good giving Christmas a good giving
Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and tell us a little bit about that.
Like, how did you?
You said you so what's yourlove for?
Like philanthropy separately?
Or you just like got up likemost of us when it was like you
know what, I'm very grateful formy life and I have a lot, and I
don't feel like because I knowsometimes I go through that like
I don't feel like I'm givingback much, so I'll just like go
seek out things that I can do,but like to build an actual
charity that you have to makethem, charity that you have
(10:04):
committed to annually.
I'm sure it's a lot of work.
You guys have a lot ofcommunity that you know.
Yeah, you their hands.
Like what are some of thethings that you do or the events
that you do in that?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah.
So we both come from very, youknow, benevolent families.
Like our family is very.
They taught us that we need togive back.
That is part of who we are.
So when we came with the GoodGiving Christmas, we were like,
okay, what can we do to affectthe most change in a very
structured way?
So we partnered with threedifferent organizations my
(10:37):
friend's place, the LGBT center,but the senior part because
that was when they needed mosthelp at the time and downtown
with my mission, the midnightmission, midnight mission,
midnight mission yeah, so you'repartnering with them.
So each year we do this bigcharity.
We have people come over tohelp us pack our bags and we
(10:57):
just give roughly 200, 250 nowof bags out to different
organizations.
But we also partner withUbatuba.
So that is the importance oftalking to people when you're in
spaces, because Dimitri is verymuch like the talkative person.
So Ubatuba is an acai bowlplace in Studio City.
Shout out to them.
But Dimitri, authenticBrazilian get it right listen,
(11:22):
they're like, make sure you know.
But he would always talk to themand he and then he became best
friends with all of them.
And then, when we mentioned theum, the charity, they're like,
oh, you should hit up our team.
And ever since then they'vebeen donating 200, 250 acai
bowls alongside with it.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
This will be year five Year five and we're
officially a non-profit.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Right, y'all been working, y'all been working.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So hopefully we can do some more community events,
because next I want to do aback-to-school thing like a back
to school charity as well.
Like I want to make that anannual thing where we like to
get backpacks and fill them upwith school supplies okay, are
you guys looking forsponsorships?
Always okay.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So how would one find you guys in that realm and how
would they be best to help?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
so, uh, if you're a sponsor, you can find us at
goodfoodguruscom Goodfoodguruson all platforms.
Yeah, you can send us an email.
We'd love to you know, talkmore about how we can help each
other honestly.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay, and our email is eatwithgfg at gmailcom, but
don't be afraid to jump in theDMs.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Jump in the DMs.
Okay, so like.
Okay, so like.
So we have the nonprofit, whichis very you know it's a serious
like.
Giving back is serious,especially in our community.
I do feel like if we're nothelping each other, who is going
to help us?
And we have to do the duediligence to be able to dig in
there and get our hands dirtyand do the work.
Now, in the content creationside of things, that's usually
(12:54):
some fun stuff, you know, a lotof tedious stuff, but like, how
would one like, if they want tobe a creator, what would you say
to them as far as like, how tojust dive in and do it other
than just do it?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I could jump in that go ahead yeah, um, finding
community.
You know, I think that peopleare very afraid to talk to the
person that's next to them.
We go to a lot of these eventsand often they say, like what
Issa Rae says, you need to lookto your left and right and see
who is in your community,because oftentimes you do really
(13:25):
have someone who can help youout right next to you.
I was not a content creator byany means.
I came to LA and I was like I'mnot doing that kind of stuff,
absolutely not.
But then hanging out with him,hanging out with his people, you
know, I realized that.
You know this is a fun thing todo.
So I started like, if you seemy earlier stuff, wow, the
journey that we've, that we'vegone through.
But you know, it's justpracticing, practicing and
(13:47):
having fun with it yeah, Ididn't know you were done.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Um, yeah, it's definitely.
Uh, I mean, of course, you knowyou just have to do it, but
some people don't, aren't likeself-starters, so it is
important to have like peoplearound you that, or just
surround yourself with peoplethat are doing just what you
want to do, or like you know younever be, like you know they'll
never be the smartest person inthe room, kind of thing.
Um, you know, put yourself outthere and like, do the work
because it is hard work, and Iknow some people are.
I'm just gonna, like you knowthey'll never be the smartest
person in the room, kind ofthing.
You know, put yourself outthere and like, do the work
(14:13):
because it is hard work.
And I know some people are likeI'm just going to, like you
know, be a content creator,influencer, but it's like it's a
lot of work, like it literallyis.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What are some of the challenges, Like what are the
things that you talk about work?
What are the people looking for?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
What do I want to do?
This idea is it something thatyou were influenced by?
Yeah, so as far, okay.
So, first of all, um,consistency is hard, like you
know, to get up every day andlike, uh, equipment, getting
equipment.
Some people don't have themoney to get it, but then again
it's like they spend their moneyon things, little things, that
can add up to be that tripodthat you need it.
You know what I'm saying.
Like you can go without, go amonth or something without
coffee, getting coffee orwhatever you know.
I'm saying you can, like youhave to save your money and get
(14:55):
your equipment.
Um, it doesn't have to be a lotof equipment, just stuff to help
you film on your own.
So I would say, a tripod, um,get you.
You can use your phone.
You'll need an expensive camerato start off with.
Um, even, like you know,reaching out to, to brands to
work with, until they startreaching out to you, because
that's what happens usually.
You got to reach out, kind of,get yourself out there, get
yourself seen, collab withpeople, because you want people
(15:17):
to see you as well.
Um, you want people, more thanyour audience, to see you.
So, you know, I would like hityou up.
Hey, let's do somethingtogether so your audience can
see me, my artists can see you.
You know, just like getting Imean all that in itself
scheduling your day outcorrectly so you can get these
things it's just like a lot ofsmall things, that can actually
be a lot of work.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, and to add on to that, always remember that
you are the brand.
So if you do not do somethingthat you actually like doing,
people are going to recognizethat.
So don't pick up all thesedifferent hobbies and stuff just
because you think that's goingto like get you the most clicks.
Like people gravitate moretowards like the authenticness
of their creators.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Yeah, I was like so do you like?
I guess you suggest, because Iguess with a lot of people it's
funny that you said that youknow, start with your phone.
You know research your camera,your phone, you know research,
you start researching thesethings and a lot of creators say
that they say, start with yourphone, like you can get a lot,
and these iPhones is gettingbetter and better as far as like
(16:21):
camera and stuff is concerned.
So a lot of you guys that areout there worried about whether
I'm going to do good or I don'thave, you should just start and,
you know, take their advice.
But before that we're going to,before we get into the rest of
the show, we're going to play agame, because I like games, and

your thoughts on, you know,being inclusive in your fields.
I also like to leave a messageat the end of my show, always
because I do believe that youknow your experiences can help
others, especially the littleLatinx, black little boys
growing up, black little girls.
Latinx are thems you know,we're all here.
(23:03):
What would you say to you?
Know the audience, your youngerself, about being who you are
and using that in your work?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
um, I would say that there is no right and wrong path
to where you're supposed to be,that you should embrace every
step of the way and embraceeveryone along the way.
That feeds your soul and thatsees you for who you are, and
(23:36):
you should just trust thatwhatever is going on in society
has no direct reflection on you.
You are your own person and youneed to be strong within
yourself and not listen to theseoutside forces.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You thought that that was written in a diary
somewhere.
That was nice.
Just call me Alicia.

make our own space.

If you don't see yourself inthat space, make it yourself,
because there's so many peoplethat would that belong in that

Finding community.
You know, I think that peopleare very afraid to talk to the
person that's next to them.
You know, we go to a lot ofthese events and often they say,
you know, like what Ysa Raesays, you need to look to your
left and right and see who is inyour community, because
oftentimes you do really havesomeone who can help you out
right next to you.
You know, I was not a contentcreator by any means.
(00:22):
You know, I came to LA and Iwas like I'm not doing that kind
of stuff, absolutely not.
But then hanging out with him,hanging out with his people, you
know, I realized that.
You know, this is a fun thingto do.
So I started like, if you seemy earlier stuff, wow, the
journey that we've gone through,that's it, that's all.
See how you feel, that's it,that's all, that's it, that's
(00:44):
all.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Black excellence at its finest.
How that skin glows, she's atrue diamond, with the world
right out back.
She's still smiling, never leftthat crown till she stayed
thriving.
That's it, that's all.
That's it, that's all.
Keep it real.
That's it, that's all.
That's it.
That's all, that's it, that'sall.
Is that really it, though?
(01:06):
What up, what up, what up?
Welcome to that's it, that'sAll.
Y'all know me, kasey, your host.
We're here an opinionatedpodcast Through the lens of
black women and black creators,and today we got some very, very
special guests on the show.
My personal favorite creatorduo, dimitri Hi and Roberto.
Hello, hello I'm gonna give youguys a little background about
(01:28):
them, but I'm not going to talktoo much about them because
that's what they're here to do.
Dimitri is a dynamic artistwith talents in animation,
illustration, dance and acting,a social media content creation,
um, focusing on natural haircare and food.
Um, he also encourages hisaudience to pursue their
passions and authenticity andjoy, embodying the belief that
one can do what they love andmake a living out of it.
(01:50):
So that's Demetrio and Roberto.
He's a creator who can be seenin front and behind the camera.
His personal photographyfocuses on showcasing the
experience of Black, latin andthe queer individuals.
You may have seen him in Vogue.
He works with a lot of brandslike Fridays, outshine, my Mochi
(02:11):
Shaparo and Vita Coco.
And that's Roberto.
So let's just jump right into it.
One of the things I love aboutyou guys is that you guys are
black, latin Americans, correct,and you guys use a lot of that
in your creations, whether it'svibrant colors, whether it's
educating people about yourbackground.
So let's talk about that, liketell us a little bit where you
(02:33):
guys are from, how you guysbecame who you are, the men you
are today, and let's go with thestart there sure?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
um, my name is roberto.
I am from new jersey, all day,every day.
My dad is puerto rican and mymom is from saint thomas.
I came to la in search becominga restaurant manager, which did
happen, but then covid happenedand I actually did not embrace
being a creator until COVID andthis guy actually, but I can
(03:06):
talk about that later.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, me I'm Dimitri.
I'm originally from New York.
My parents are both military.
I don't know if I told you that, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I'm a military brat.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Okay, okay, yeah, both met in the military.
So my mother's from New York,my father's from Kentucky, so
total opposite country city.
We ended up moving to Nashville.
So I finished high school inNashville, went to college there
.
My mother's side she has she'sthe Puerto Rican side.
My father's black.
He has like Native American,like his mother like, but I
(03:38):
never got to meet her, so Idon't know.
So black, native American andPuerto Rican on my mother's side
.
But I didn't get to likeimmerse myself into that life as
like later on, because mygrandmother passed away and then
, you know, we moved.
So I think 2020, like you know,we were stuck in the house.
I started like really trying tofind out who like my family was
and like where we come from andlike learn Because people were
(03:59):
dying.
You know what I mean.
So I really started to jumpinto that life and I love it.
I found a cousin in Jerseyactually on my 23andMe, so it
actually works.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So definitely try that Wait, do you talk yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
we haven't got to meet in person because every
time I go back she's busy or I'mbusy, but we keep in touch.
Do you guys look alike?
I don't think so.
I mean, we're the same ageactually.
Oh, wow, yeah, I know her.
So apparently I told my motherabout it.
She's like, oh, that's like hergreat aunt's granddaughter or
something like that.
I don't know, but she knows hergreat aunt, it's her aunt.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay, well, 23andMe Go get your facts.
My 23andMe yeah, about like theimportance of creating
inclusivity in the world ofcontent creation.
I think you guys have done agreat job.
I know you work with what itwas the company called dule dule
deletool, deletool, oh metayeah yeah, yeah, and I see you
guys do a lot of Latinx kind ofactivations and things like that
(05:03):
.
Yeah, how'd you get into that?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, so I'm a content creator, so I signed up
or submitted for a Latinxcreator program through Meta,
which is Instagram and Facebook,and I got it.
I got in.
So basically, that wasbasically a program for creators
, latinx creators specificallyto kind of shine, and they paid
(05:25):
us to do content.
They also gave us opportunities.
Like you know, latinx geartowards Latinx individuals,
creators, and once I did that,literally everything kind of
like took off in the Latinxworld because they're very
supportive, that is, a verysupportive like like area.
So but yeah, even now like theprogram is still over, but I'm
(05:47):
still like involved like heavily.
So that's kind of how I gotinto it, like maybe two years
ago specifically.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So what would you say ?
Your specialty was in that Likewhat do you think stood out in
your portfolio?
That they was like okay, we'regoing to pick him.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So what I know stood out was that I was very I'm just
very diverse, Like I can fitinto so many different
categories that they had.
They had beauty, which I wasdoing I can do skin and hair,
you know.
They had like like for athletes, which I'm a professional
dancer, you know, and I doworkouts, so it's like sports
food, like literally anycategory I can fit into, so they
(06:25):
can literally use me for likeanything.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
How about you, roberto?
What was your like?
How do you take, I guess,what's the?
I don't want to follow thisquestion.
How do you make sure that youare using your inclusion in your
culture, in your work inphotography or your you know
content creation?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
in your work in photography or your, you know,
content creation.
Yes, I mean, for me,representation is very important
and seeing people like me inbigger spaces.
I found that when I do personalprojects, when I get creative
on my own, what I find drives methe most and makes it most
personal is when I can see theperson on the other side and
then see a version of myself.
(07:06):
And when it comes tophotography, you know, a lot of
times we see all these likeother white people or Asian
people and all these like fun,kind of like things, but we
don't get to see enough ofourselves.
So I just was like you knowwhat?
I want?
To see more of myself.
I'm gonna shoot more peoplethat look like me and just
really, really represent that.
(07:26):
And it's so difficult to findpeople who shoot black people in
a way that is complimentary, soI've made myself, I've made
sure that I do that, and so,yeah, that's.
You know it's funny becausethat's what he was saying.
So Daletu is like a spinoff ofwe, the Culture.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Daletu.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Daletu oh okay, it's a spinoff of we, the Culture.
It was a meta program for blackcreators.
So we have been a part of that,like sort of on the sidelines
from that inception.
So when Dalit 2 came around andwe're like, oh well, we're also
Latinx, so let's apply for thisas well.
But he got it.
I didn't.
But you know, I've made like asemi-living being his plus one
(08:09):
to all these events.
No, literally it was like alittle group that we had all the
plus ones that always show upto all the events with the
creators.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I mean, that's the whole point, right Network.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I'm in the door.
It doesn't matter how I gotthere.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What you do once you're in the door is up to you.
Like he can only do so, muchExactly.
I'm not on the face sheet, butI'm still there also a couple of
projects that you guys worktogether on.
Um, good food gurus.
Now y'all know I'm a foodie, Icook, I go out, I'm making my
things, but how?
When did you guys start that?
Was it like the love of yourshared love of food together?
(08:42):
He was just like we're justgonna like try this and see how
it works.
And now it's gotten real.
It's gotten real animated.
Now it's like he's like dashingacross, like where you go, but
it's like how did that comeabout?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
um, so good for the guru started in 2020 again,
which a lot of things started.
Um, but, yeah, we both likefood, we both eat, we both cook,
we like to go out and try newfood, new things and new foods
around the city, whatever citywe're in.
Um, so, yeah, we just we weretaking photos and videos of food
.
I think think he does Yelp alot.
Let's just start making a pagefor it and find places and
(09:16):
hidden gems in LA and otherstates like East Coast.
When we go back for people tojust like, okay, I want to go
here.
We started that and then, withthat, we also added in the
charity aspect, because we bothdo that as well.
We was like we can just make itthrough the food page and, just
you know, make it like a wholecharity, annual charity.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Okay, what's the name of your annual charity?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
A good giving Christmas a good giving
Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and tell us a little bit about that.
Like, how did you?
You said you so what's yourlove for?
Like philanthropy separately?
Or you just like got up likemost of us when it was like you
know what, I'm very grateful formy life and I have a lot, and I
don't feel like because I knowsometimes I go through that like
I don't feel like I'm givingback much, so I'll just like go
seek out things that I can do,but like to build an actual
charity that you have to makethem, charity that you have
(10:04):
committed to annually.
I'm sure it's a lot of work.
You guys have a lot ofcommunity that you know.
Yeah, you their hands.
Like what are some of thethings that you do or the events
that you do in that?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah.
So we both come from very, youknow, benevolent families.
Like our family is very.
They taught us that we need togive back.
That is part of who we are.
So when we came with the GoodGiving Christmas, we were like,
okay, what can we do to affectthe most change in a very
structured way?
So we partnered with threedifferent organizations my
(10:37):
friend's place, the LGBT center,but the senior part because
that was when they needed mosthelp at the time and downtown
with my mission, the midnightmission, midnight mission,
midnight mission yeah, so you'repartnering with them.
So each year we do this bigcharity.
We have people come over tohelp us pack our bags and we
(10:57):
just give roughly 200, 250 nowof bags out to different
organizations.
But we also partner withUbatuba.
So that is the importance oftalking to people when you're in
spaces, because Dimitri is verymuch like the talkative person.
So Ubatuba is an acai bowlplace in Studio City.
Shout out to them.
But Dimitri, authenticBrazilian get it right listen,
(11:22):
they're like, make sure you know.
But he would always talk to themand he and then he became best
friends with all of them.
And then, when we mentioned theum, the charity, they're like,
oh, you should hit up our team.
And ever since then they'vebeen donating 200, 250 acai
bowls alongside with it.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
This will be year five Year five and we're
officially a non-profit.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Right, y'all been working, y'all been working.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So hopefully we can do some more community events,
because next I want to do aback-to-school thing like a back
to school charity as well.
Like I want to make that anannual thing where we like to
get backpacks and fill them upwith school supplies okay, are
you guys looking forsponsorships?
Always okay.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So how would one find you guys in that realm and how
would they be best to help?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
so, uh, if you're a sponsor, you can find us at
goodfoodguruscom Goodfoodguruson all platforms.
Yeah, you can send us an email.
We'd love to you know, talkmore about how we can help each
other honestly.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Okay, and our email is eatwithgfg at gmailcom, but
don't be afraid to jump in theDMs.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Jump in the DMs.
Okay, so like.
Okay, so like.
So we have the nonprofit, whichis very you know it's a serious
like.
Giving back is serious,especially in our community.
I do feel like if we're nothelping each other, who is going
to help us?
And we have to do the duediligence to be able to dig in
there and get our hands dirtyand do the work.
Now, in the content creationside of things, that's usually
(12:54):
some fun stuff, you know, a lotof tedious stuff, but like, how
would one like, if they want tobe a creator, what would you say
to them as far as like, how tojust dive in and do it other
than just do it?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I could jump in that go ahead yeah, um, finding
community.
You know, I think that peopleare very afraid to talk to the
person that's next to them.
We go to a lot of these eventsand often they say, like what
Issa Rae says, you need to lookto your left and right and see
who is in your community,because oftentimes you do really
(13:25):
have someone who can help youout right next to you.
I was not a content creator byany means.
I came to LA and I was like I'mnot doing that kind of stuff,
absolutely not.
But then hanging out with him,hanging out with his people, you
know, I realized that.
You know this is a fun thing todo.
So I started like, if you seemy earlier stuff, wow, the
journey that we've, that we'vegone through.
But you know, it's justpracticing, practicing and
(13:47):
having fun with it yeah, Ididn't know you were done.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Um, yeah, it's definitely.
Uh, I mean, of course, you knowyou just have to do it, but
some people don't, aren't likeself-starters, so it is
important to have like peoplearound you that, or just
surround yourself with peoplethat are doing just what you
want to do, or like you know younever be, like you know they'll
never be the smartest person inthe room, kind of thing.
Um, you know, put yourself outthere and like, do the work
because it is hard work, and Iknow some people are.
I'm just gonna, like you knowthey'll never be the smartest
person in the room, kind ofthing.
You know, put yourself outthere and like, do the work
(14:13):
because it is hard work.
And I know some people are likeI'm just going to, like you
know, be a content creator,influencer, but it's like it's a
lot of work, like it literallyis.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What are some of the challenges, Like what are the
things that you talk about work?
What are the people looking for?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
What do I want to do?
This idea is it something thatyou were influenced by?
Yeah, so as far, okay.
So, first of all, um,consistency is hard, like you
know, to get up every day andlike, uh, equipment, getting
equipment.
Some people don't have themoney to get it, but then again
it's like they spend their moneyon things, little things, that
can add up to be that tripodthat you need it.
You know what I'm saying.
Like you can go without, go amonth or something without
coffee, getting coffee orwhatever you know.
I'm saying you can, like youhave to save your money and get
(14:55):
your equipment.
Um, it doesn't have to be a lotof equipment, just stuff to help
you film on your own.
So I would say, a tripod, um,get you.
You can use your phone.
You'll need an expensive camerato start off with.
Um, even, like you know,reaching out to, to brands to
work with, until they startreaching out to you, because
that's what happens usually.
You got to reach out, kind of,get yourself out there, get
yourself seen, collab withpeople, because you want people
(15:17):
to see you as well.
Um, you want people, more thanyour audience, to see you.
So, you know, I would like hityou up.
Hey, let's do somethingtogether so your audience can
see me, my artists can see you.
You know, just like getting Imean all that in itself
scheduling your day outcorrectly so you can get these
things it's just like a lot ofsmall things, that can actually
be a lot of work.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, and to add on to that, always remember that
you are the brand.
So if you do not do somethingthat you actually like doing,
people are going to recognizethat.
So don't pick up all thesedifferent hobbies and stuff just
because you think that's goingto like get you the most clicks.
Like people gravitate moretowards like the authenticness
of their creators.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Yeah, I was like so do you like?
I guess you suggest, because Iguess with a lot of people it's
funny that you said that youknow, start with your phone.
You know research your camera,your phone, you know research,
you start researching thesethings and a lot of creators say
that they say, start with yourphone, like you can get a lot,
and these iPhones is gettingbetter and better as far as like
(16:21):
camera and stuff is concerned.
So a lot of you guys that areout there worried about whether
I'm going to do good or I don'thave, you should just start and,
you know, take their advice.
But before that we're going to,before we get into the rest of
the show, we're going to play agame, because I like games, and
we're going to play LyricallyCorrect, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:41):

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
