* Quote: "I got a lot of black female clients and, and the culture is just so detrimental to their mindsets. And even even to down to the men. Whereas in dating, you got guys telling the black women, Hey, I don't want you to lose weight. I want you to keep your ass fat. You know, so a lot of women listening to this b******t to stay overweight, to stay 40% body fat."
