As we lift our voices in a unison of celebration and reflection, today's episode is a heartfelt tribute to the enduring spirit of women on National Woman's Day. With a prayer that resonates with hope and unity, we embark on a journey that honors the multifaceted strengths of women. Their profound ability to juggle the complexities of home life and professional demands with grace is a testament to their inherent power. Through stories of the formidable women who've touched my life, we shine a light on the victory of resilience over adversity, reinforcing the pivotal role women hold in the very weave of our society.
With warmth, we invite you to explore the narrative of women's steadfast triumphs across diverse fields, from the precision of medicine to the assertive courts of law, and even within the grease-stained workshops of mechanics. In the breadth of this conversation, we celebrate the intrinsic allure and wisdom of every woman while advocating for deep-rooted self-acceptance that eclipses the superficial. The episode culminates with a vibrant call to sisterhood—a powerful bond that connects us through shared stories—and a jubilant declaration of Happy National Women's Day. To all women, know this: your worth is incalculable, and your contributions to our world are infinitely precious. Join us in this commemorative episode as we extend love and solidarity to each and every woman who's listening.

Hello to my women If there'ssome men listening, hey, listen,
don't get jealous.
Don't be a hater right now,because we're going to celebrate
these women.
Be happy, because guess what,if it wasn't for a woman, you
wouldn't be here.
So let's clap for our women.
(02:34):
It's a little clap.
I don't want to clap too loudbecause I don't know, I don't
want to be busting your eardrums.
Women are our nurturers, theyare our lovers.
They are kind, they arebeautiful, they are magnificent,
they are intelligent, they arebrilliant.
They wear so many differenthats.
(02:57):
They are just everything.
Our women have really shown andproven that there is nothing
that they can't do.
We have proven time and timeagain that we can do what the
men do.
Now, no hate on our men, but wecan multitask.
(03:19):
Like it ain't nobody's business.
We house babies in our bellies,we push these little babies out,
and we got to go back to workin six weeks, which means we
have to try to tighten ourbodies back together and get it
right, get it tight In that sixweeks.
We're not even resting beforewe go to work.
(03:40):
No, we are waking up every twoto four hours with these little
crying babies and we have toknow which cries for what.
We have to know if it's the I'mhungry cry, I'm sleepy cry, I
poop cry, I pee cry.
You know what I mean.
Like those cries, we got toknow the difference.
We have to be in tune with ourchildren.
(04:01):
When people say you know thatwomen have this great intuition
or discernment, yes, we do, wereally do.
We go back to work.
And then you know, of course, wegot to drop the baby off in the
morning.
Well, first of all we got toget us dressed, get the children
dressed and ready, handle thewhole household, get drop them
(04:25):
off, get to work, do what yougot to do at work.
Sometimes they might call youthe school, might call you,
depending on if your kids is bador not, but you know, or if
they sick or whatever.
So you might have those moments.
And then you got to stay homewith your baby.
You know, if the baby sick, yougot to take days off.
And you know, or you know, gopick children up, bring them
(04:47):
back.
It's just so many differenthats.
We got to get her rush home tocook, help them with their
homeworks, give them their baths, put them to bed, read them a
story, whatever it is that youdo.
Finally, you know, get yourselftogether for the night and go
to sleep, start all over again.
So it's a lot.
And then, if you have a spouse,you got to take care of him too
(05:10):
.
You have or him or her thesedays, okay, but you got to take
care of your spouse too.
So you have to not only takecare of yourself, you got to
take care of your spouse, yourchildren, child or children.
And if you have children, oh myGod, you dealing with so many
different personalities.
It's not funny.
I know.
(05:31):
For me, growing up I, you know,had my great great grandmother
in my life.
My great grandmother, mygrandmother, my mother, my
aunties, my cousins.
You know a whole lot of womenbeautiful, strong, successful,
brilliant.
You know women.
And then you know we had someof our women in my family, had
(05:57):
struggles, but they were stillstrong, independent women.
They went through a lot ofadversities.
They overcame so much in theirlives and for me, I really
respect women that have beenthrough something and still been
able to get through whatever itis that they've been hit with.
(06:22):
You know, life can sometimesdeal you some really really
crazy cards or deal you a reallybad hand.
But to see how women overcomeall of the things that they've
been through, whether it'smolest, whether it's rape, any
(06:43):
type of abuse, whether it'sbeing disrespected or belittled
or just a lot of bad things thatwomen have been through in life
, not all women, but the womenthat have really gone through
(07:05):
some mess.
You know, for me it's soamazing to see their strength of
what they've been through andthen where they are now or after
those negative experiences ortraumas, how they come out of
that and they come out betterthan ever, with so much grace
(07:32):
and class and poise.
A lot of women don't even looklike what they've been through
and I, you know, I'm amazed bythat and I saw that growing up,
and so I wanted to be one ofthose women, one of the women
that, no matter what I wentthrough, that I was able to get
(07:54):
through it, but not let it wearon me and not let it change me.
I didn't want my bad ornegative experiences to change
me into this bitter, nasty,angry person.
You know, a lot of people canbe, a lot of women can be
beautiful on the outside, but ifyou're ugly on the inside and
(08:15):
you have a nasty attitude or anasty disposition, then you're
ugly.
And I don't know if you guysheard me say this before, but I
would truly believe that.
I really believe that we have tostart having self-control,
taking accountability for ouractions, and stop blaming others
(08:37):
for our attitude.
I think that it's important forus to straighten our crown when
we are mistreated ordisrespected.
Yes, it's okay to go ahead andspeak up and have your voice.
(08:59):
Definitely, we definitely needto keep our voices, but there's
a delivery in the way that youspeak to people.
I just love how we can justwear all these different hats.
We can be a teacher, mom.
As a mom, we're a teacher,doctor, lawyer, I mean just
(09:23):
everything.
Just being Santa Claus and thetooth fairy and these different
things.
If you raise your kids on thosethings, I mean, let me tell you
, it's been a many time that Ihave put a tooth under or forgot
to put a tooth.
I mean the money for the toothunder the pillow.
(09:44):
I don't know if anybody canrelate, but I forget I fall
asleep, you know, cause.
I'm like, okay, they asleep, Ifall asleep.
Well, I know it.
I don't woke up and they'relike oh, the tooth fairy didn't
come get my tooth, and it's beentimes that I don't left the
tooth under there and then putthe money under there too, and
(10:05):
he was like oh, I'm like, oh,wow, I don't know what excuse I
made, but I'm sure I made a goodone.
So it's crazy how, when I thinkback to growing up as a female,
to a young lady, to a woman, thewoman that I am now I wouldn't
(10:25):
change it for the world.
There's no regrets, because allof the things I went through in
my life was definitelynecessary to bring me to this
point where I am now.
I'm almost 50 and wow, ajourney, that's all I can call
(10:46):
it.
It was a journey, but I loveevery moment of it.
And for you guys, I want you topatch yourselves on the back
for my women out there.
Patch yourselves on the backfor being that strong and
dependent.
You know, don't worry aboutwhen people say to you that
(11:07):
you're difficult or you have toomuch mouth, or you are bossy or
whatever.
Sometimes.
Now, sometimes you are.
They might be right, you know,but it's hard to give up the
pants.
When I say give up the pants,when you wear the pants as a
(11:28):
single parent or a single womanfor so many years and a man does
come in your life, or thatperson comes in your life, it's
hard to give that up and entrustthe bills with that person or
entrust your household with thatperson or whatever it is that
you were doing prior to meetingthat person because you have set
(11:52):
up a routine for yourself.
You know, and it's hard tochange routine sometimes.
But if you do get a good personthat comes in your life, that
is trustworthy and treats you ofvalue and loves you, respects
you, and they are responsibleand dependable and all those
(12:13):
great qualities, then, yes,definitely you're gonna have to
take those pants off and letthem wear the pants, because you
have to let the man be the man.
Okay, but it's it's hard, it'snot easy.
Okay for me, not easy at all,because I've been independent
(12:34):
all my life.
Even in times when I wasmarried, I still handled a, a
lot of the responsibilities thatI felt like I would have a
partner in.
But it wasn't a partnership.
It was more of me doingeverything by myself and I used
to be like, well, if I'm gonnado it all by myself, I might as
well be by myself.
Okay, but I just take my hatoff, my hat off to all the women
(12:57):
out there.
Give yourself a round ofapplause, patch yourself on the
back Because you've gottenthrough so many difficulties.
You've gotten through Timeswhen you just didn't understand
how you would get throughcertain situations.
It was time, said.
You were hanging on by a stringand you was like Lord, I don't
(13:19):
know what this lesson is thatyou got me going through, but,
um, I don't think I'm gonna beable to get through this one
right here.
I'm gonna need you to help meout.
Help me out, like like to helpme out.
That means help me, help me.
Help me Because you didn't seehow you want to get through a
hard or difficult time.
You didn't even think you hadthe strength to even Go through
(13:42):
something else.
You know, sometimes life willhit you all at once, you know,
with just a Domino effect.
This happens.
Then the next day this happens.
Or later that night, thishappens.
Or next week this happens.
It's like you can't catch abreak but Patch yourself on the
back and give yourself a roundof applause because you are
(14:04):
doing a dad-gone thing.
You have done the dad-gonething and you're gonna keep on
doing the dad-gone thing.
I Believe in you.
The best is yet to come.
Don't ever let anyone dim yourlight.
Shine, baby, shine.
I want you to know that being awoman Is the most precious gift
(14:29):
that I believe that God couldhave given us in this world.

truly grateful.

(15:38):

(16:01):
Always know that.
Don't ever let anyone Disrespectyou.

Don't let them take you out ofcharacter.
Don't let them have power overyou.
(16:24):
Don't let anyone have powerover you by taking you out of
character.
Be you, be firm and stern.
Now, let them know you ain'tplaying okay, you know, but at
the end of the day, just loveyou.
Love you from head to toe.
(16:46):
You don't need all of thatmakeup.
You don't need all that hair,those lashes.
You don't need all of thosethings.
Now, if you want to just kindof, you know, add a little
something, you know.
But you don't need it.
You're naturally beautiful justthe way you are.
I so many times I see women atmy job or in the grocery store
(17:07):
as I'm running my errands, and Ijust see these beautiful women,
just unique women of alldifferent nationalities.
I see them with their children,I see them with their spouses,
I see them cooking.
I see them being bosses.
(17:29):
I see them just doing all thedoctors, lawyers oh my gosh like
mechanics, sports.
I mean we have really come along way as women and it's such
an honor, such a privilege to bea woman.
(17:53):
So I would like to thank allthe women out there that have
made it possible.
I want our sisters to befriendlier and more loving to
one another, because thissisterhood has to continue
loving each other as women,sticking together as women.
(18:17):
Stop putting down women.
Stop putting down your sister.
Uplift your sister because, atthe end of the day, women, we go
through a lot, like I said, youknow, abused, used, manipulated
, cheated on.
(18:41):
There's so many things that wego through.
Now I'm not men, don't.
Before you start coming for me.
You know we are, you know weboth can cheat now, or I'm just
saying that y'all started it,but anyway.

up a routine for yourself.
You know, and it's hard tochange routine sometimes.
But if you do get a good personthat comes in your life, that
is trustworthy and treats you ofvalue and loves you, respects
you, and they are responsibleand dependable and all those
(12:13):
great qualities, then, yes,definitely you're gonna have to
take those pants off and letthem wear the pants, because you
have to let the man be the man.
Okay, but it's it's hard, it'snot easy.
Okay for me, not easy at all,because I've been independent
(12:34):
all my life.
Even in times when I wasmarried, I still handled a, a
lot of the responsibilities thatI felt like I would have a
partner in.
But it wasn't a partnership.
It was more of me doingeverything by myself and I used
to be like, well, if I'm gonnado it all by myself, I might as
well be by myself.
Okay, but I just take my hatoff, my hat off to all the women
(12:57):
out there.
Give yourself a round ofapplause, patch yourself on the
back Because you've gottenthrough so many difficulties.
You've gotten through Timeswhen you just didn't understand
how you would get throughcertain situations.
It was time, said.
You were hanging on by a stringand you was like Lord, I don't
(13:19):
know what this lesson is thatyou got me going through, but,
um, I don't think I'm gonna beable to get through this one
right here.
I'm gonna need you to help meout.
Help me out, like like to helpme out.
That means help me, help me.
Help me Because you didn't seehow you want to get through a
hard or difficult time.
You didn't even think you hadthe strength to even Go through
(13:42):
something else.
You know, sometimes life willhit you all at once, you know,
with just a Domino effect.
This happens.
Then the next day this happens.
Or later that night, thishappens.
Or next week this happens.
It's like you can't catch abreak but Patch yourself on the
back and give yourself a roundof applause because you are
(14:04):
doing a dad-gone thing.
You have done the dad-gonething and you're gonna keep on
doing the dad-gone thing.
I Believe in you.
The best is yet to come.
Don't ever let anyone dim yourlight.
Shine, baby, shine.

(14:29):

Don't ever let anyone Disrespectyou.
Don't let anybody you ain't gotyou, don't have to clap back,
as they say, because at the endof the day, let them look crazy.
Don't let them take you out ofcharacter.
Don't let them have power overyou.
(16:24):

You don't need all of thosethings.
Now, if you want to just kindof, you know, add a little
something, you know.
But you don't need it.
You're naturally beautiful justthe way you are.
I so many times I see women atmy job or in the grocery store
(17:07):
as I'm running my errands, and Ijust see these beautiful women,
just unique women of alldifferent nationalities.
I see them with their children,I see them with their spouses,
I see them cooking.
I see them being bosses.
(17:29):
I see them just doing all thedoctors, lawyers oh my gosh like
mechanics, sports.
I mean we have really come along way as women and it's such
an honor, such a privilege to bea woman.
(17:53):
So I would like to thank allthe women out there that have
made it possible.
I want our sisters to befriendlier and more loving to
one another, because thissisterhood has to continue
loving each other as women,sticking together as women.
(18:17):
Stop putting down women.
Stop putting down your sister.
Uplift your sister because, atthe end of the day, women, we go
through a lot, like I said, youknow, abused, used, manipulated
, cheated on.
(18:41):
There's so many things that wego through.
Now I'm not men, don't.
Before you start coming for me.
You know we are, you know weboth can cheat now, or I'm just
saying that y'all started it,but anyway.
But no, I just really wanted tojust take this moment.
