Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake that ass up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Yeah, since the World's Most Dangerous wanting to show to
Breakfast Club CHARLAMAGNEA God just hilarious. DJ Envy is off
and Laura LaRosa is at court following Diddy's try But
we have a special guest here, Lenee Bene.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
What's happening in Lenae?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
How are you? I'm good?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You know, I'm sure that y'all see Lenae all the time.
Her parking Lot pimping, Pimping episodes have come across your
feed in some way, shape or form. But now you
got to show called the People's Brief. Yeah, on Revolt
Tuesday at nine pm. What's the difference between the People's
Brief and Walking Lot Pimping?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Oh, one thing, we got more time, it's forty five minutes.
It's also not so you know, every week news headline.
It's more so evergreen things that are happening in the news,
but things that we can talk about over the course
of times. They affect us every day. And just giving
people more tools. I feel like on social media, I've
always tried to be more information heavy and.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Just provide a positive outlook.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
But now that we got more time, we want to
try to provide resources too, and answers to questions.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
And I just complained, how different is it from parking
lot pimping.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I won't say it's too different. I still get to
say what I want to say. We what TV fourteen,
so let's cuss in. But the team over there want
to do what I want to do, and that's like
give everybody the truth and be helpful. We kind of
take the same old doctors do, do no harm and
as much as we can. Yeah, the tone is the same,
(01:27):
but it's really cool because it's not it's newsy, but
it's not. I never taken a traditional approach to things.
So it's like a mix of sixty Minutes and John
Tonight with John Oliver, the Daily Show, a little bit
of Amber Ruffin but with me, Yeah, it was rounded.
It's very well rounded. We have a lot of fun.
The first couple of episode, the first episode were premiered
What's Day Thursday. Premiere this week Tuesday, and I had
(01:52):
Angela Rye On as my first guest.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That was amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, we get to get out in the field, do
something on the street, but a lot of good people
come through and we have a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Did you want to keep parking lot pimping as the
show for a revolt like the title of the show. No,
did you wanted to make it something else?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I wanted to be something else.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I think the identity of it transfers because it's still me,
but it needed to be something different.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It needs to be an evolution. So I was cool,
and I still get to do the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I don't know how often, because as you see, I'm
here just like my weeks look different now. But I've
always said the parking lot is never going to leave.
It's something crazy. They're right on the Capitol another January sixth,
I'll pull out my chair and I do some content.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We're just figured it out the flow.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Do you have a random parking lot you go to?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Are you just fine where I live?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, you know what I wanted to ask you, Lina.
How do you know when to educate, when to entertain,
and when to rest Ooh?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't know. Restling is new to me. It's been
a new endeavor.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
When I say new, maybe the past couple of years
because I've just had to be so much more intentional
about it. But I speak to things when I feel
it's necessary, and I'm real in tune with the Lord.
I used to stay stay in tune with your star player,
as Kat william says. But yeah, I just everything that
I speak to I make sure that I'm not just
trying to be the first one to speak my opinion
(03:17):
on something or just like offer something to the dooms grow.
How can I make this conversation useful? How can I
make this something? How can I provide another tool? And
like I said, it's easy to find confident that makes
you feel bad?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
How can I make people feel good?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And more often than that, especially now that I have
a team to help me concoct these stories, it's less
on me, so it's less taxing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, do you write from a place of anger or
hope or exhaustion?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
All three of them? And it's funny you say that,
did y'all see inside out to Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, Okay, if you've seen them, then you get the concept.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I have my friends say like, who's at our leaderboard
and everybody said my top three are anger, discussed, and joy.
Because of the way that I see things, I just
I'm real big on character above anything, and the way
you like contribute to society above anything, so more often
than not, I'm disgusted, and more often than not that
makes me exhausted. And you know, a lot of things
make me angry. But I also think anger is a
(04:22):
valid emotion and it doesn't always have to present in
a way that is heavy.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's just what it is.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Like.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm a black woman in America.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
A lot of things make me upset, and I should
be able to say that without being made to feel
like I have to cover up my emotions in any
particular way. But I think the method of storytelling me
uses combines all those things in a beautiful way that
also shows that we're more than our anger, or more
than our joy, more than our exhaustion, more than our disgust,
and we can be all things at one time and
still be full functioning members of society.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
How did you end up at Revolt? How did that happen?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You know, good people speaking my name, and good rooms.
I've been very blessed to have a team no matter
what I'm working on, and they've been fighting for me
in different rooms. I've been pitching different versions of shows,
whether it's scripted unscripted, for the past five years, and
nothing's just been the right fit. But as I said,
I be in tune with the Lord, and he told
me at the end of the last year to stop
(05:16):
trying to force things and to just put stuff down
and let him work. And as soon as I said okay,
wasn't even expecting it. Two weeks later got a call
and said Revolte wants to give you a show. I
was like what, Wow, okay, and my hands were open,
so I was ready to receive it. So that's how
we ended up together.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I wonder for somebody like you, Lene, what do you
do when you feel like your words on enough.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I don't feel like my word's on enough.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I feel like I do what I'm supposed to do,
and I'm okay with that my contribution as long as
I do my best, I'm okay with that whatever the
result is, because whatever I was supposed to contribute is
all I was supposed to contribute, because it's not just
up to me, it's not just up to anybody.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Like we all put in.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We all have a piece to the puzzle to create
the fuller picture. And sometimes it may feel like it
didn't hit the way it was supposed to hit, but
you got to give things time, like the sows. The
seeds you sow always have their time for harvest, and
I've just learned to be content and patient with my contribution.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So it's sometimes you feel like it's like a call
to action, almost like you might activate the person who
might go out there and actually get active.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, that's absolutely what I feel like. My lane is.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I feel like I am My job is tent part
information to bring as many people to the table as possible,
to make them invested, to make them excited, and those
are the people that go out and do something with it.
Even when I left my master's program, my professors told
me I was only going to be able to make
money or make a life for myself if I continue
to get my PhD.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And that's not what I felt called to do.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I immediately wanted to go and share with very young
people all the things that I learned in my program
that I had to pay twenty five thousand dollars and
take out loans to get with all these real stuffy
people that may not have the best methods as far
as connecting with the general public. But I was like,
if I can impart this in high school students, they
can apply to college, they can go on career paths
(07:07):
that with the knowledge, with a fuller knowledge of their
capacity and ability and vocabulary and nuance to be change agents.
So that's all I've ever wanted to do, and that's
what I'm doing, and I'm grateful for that.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And as a Spellman grad, congratulations, I love that. What
part of that hbc you experience has shaped your voice?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Well, at Spelman, we got a sand It's my choice,
and I choose to change the world. And it's funny,
I've said this, I've told this story so many times,
but when I was first applied, I had teachers at
my high school telling me they didn't think I should go.
They didn't think that I would get in because it
was too expensive, that it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The real world.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
But we shouldn't be encouraging our kids in masks to
go to school to learn how to plug into the
way things already exist. Like we need to be disruptives,
we need to be change agents. And that's what my
HBCU did for me. It was a psychology student, but
every single class you take, whether it's the biology of women,
(08:04):
whether it's math, finite math, or whatever, computer science, you
take it through the lens of black feminism, and so
we have advantage point that allows us to see everybody's
pain and it just makes us. That's why we be
the best applicants for the job most of the time,
most suited for the job most of the time, because
we see people. And so my HBC experience really allowed
(08:26):
me to see what people need in order to feel seen,
and I try to put that in my storytelling as well.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
How do you navigate being both a political educator but
also a cultural influencer and algorithm driven work.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Well, politics was never my game, It was never my choice.
You couldn't touch me with politics with a ten foot pole.
It just became necessary. So, like I said, I've always
been driven by what's necessary, and I started this work
to really be steeped in pop culture and connect that
through to history through an interdisciplinary lens. But as I began,
(09:02):
I started in twenty twenty, so politics was just like
thrust upon us in a real way, and so I
challenged myself to say, like, Okay, I know that we
need to understand this, so how can I incorporate this
into what I do? And it just became even more
and more and more necessary. So I just think because
I speak to people like we cousins, like we family,
because I don't try to hit people over the head
(09:24):
with it, and because I let myself feel all the
things like a regular person feels. They the algorithm can't
beat the content that I'm putting out. Yeah, Like I
draw people regardless, and people sharing it in their family
group chats, grandmas and aunties and kids in seventh grade
and high school students all like talking about what was
(09:44):
on the parking lot this week. And I'm really grateful
for that because it's not about me and my parking lot.
It's really about the information being shared. So I'm grateful
for the anointing that's been put on me that's allowed,
no matter what's changed in the social media landscape, people
to come to the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Of I love when black people say we're not political.
Are you saying politic politics is not your back? Because
when you black in this country, everything is politics. I
don't care what hood you from, I don't care what
ruin are you from. In the South, everybody from your
drunk uncle, your crackhead cousin, everybody's talking about what's going
on in that system and how the government is sucking
us in someone, So it's like you can't avoid having
(10:22):
that conversation.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's what I learned. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, what's.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
One political issue you think just we've become too performative
about and not solution oriented enough about.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I think voting.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying voting is the only tool.
It is, but it is seventy five percent of the
work organizing and sustaining that movement.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I will actually take that back.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It's sustaining period, sustainability period in terms of how we organize,
in terms of how we fight back against political oppression,
because we often wait the year cycle to begin to
complain about what we don't like about candidates and then
are upset when we're not able to show up in
full force and vote together.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
And that make a difference.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I don't think that we give ourselves the opportunity for
our work to actually for our work to return to
us in a good way, because unfortunately, a lot of
times we are motivated by rage and sadness and we
want to get active when things hit close to home.
But something is always hitting close to home for everybody,
and if we don't learn to act as a community
and have the sort of sustain Garrison Hayes said in
(11:33):
a segment in my episode this past Tuesday. He said,
these people don't let up. They've been strategizing. They don't
stop strategizing, So why should we, And especially if we're
already playing catch up, Like it's never a day when
we should just be like, oh, the struggle will be
here tomorrow. But that means you should also be strategizing
for tomorrow. And it's not to say that your life
has to be completely shaped by that, because I say
(11:57):
often like I don't my friends think I'm single now,
and they're like, so what you want like a Mark
Lamont Hill. No, Like, no shade to Mark. He's great,
But I don't need that to encompass my entire life.
Like I'm still a human being. So I'm not saying
that you gotta live, breathe, die, fight the power, but
you do have to have some things ingrained in the
way that you move about your day period to.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Understand that the work never stops. So we just gotta
find that balance.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
And for you, I want somebody who knows that women
can have babies. Oh, only women can have babies.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I just want to let you know that interesting there
are other people who can have babies, Okay, yeah, I
mean if they have a uterus, they can have babies,
but they just might identify as women two different things,
Like you can be biologically female, but you can't be
biologically woman.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
This woman is a gender construct ocial construct. If you
got a uterius here, you can have a baby.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, that's the point. If you have a uterusy, you
can have a baby.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Okay, cool, we have we agree on that.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Has the Democratic Party tried to cooper your platform or
methodge I was reading this article in the New York
Times yesterday and it was the headline is Democrats throw
money at a problem.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Jesus Christ. I just had it up.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But it basically is out there paying influences and they're
trying to figure out how to utilize the Internet and.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
In the game. I think people got to understand is.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Republicans have been using people with a microphone for years
to just disseminate misinformation. So it's not even like that's
not a tool that shouldn't be used because we do
have to have some opposition. They haven't tried to buy me. No,
I only talk to people I want to talk to.
There's no amount of money. There's no check that just
would make me want to like jump on the bandwagon,
(13:37):
especially because I have critiques. I gotta be able to
say whatever I want to say, and the Democratic Party
definitely got some things that need to be worked on.
I had the honor of working with some good people
in the CBC. And that's the other thing. Like we
live in America, there's no institution that's got it right
or has always had it right from jumps. So I
don't sit here and act like I absolutely have to
(13:59):
agree with something a body has done since its conception.
But if I'm working with people who I understand are
genuine and their efforts, like I'm down with that because,
like I said, I'm trying to be solution oriented and
do no harm and as much as I can.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And you mentioned Garrison earlier. I like Garrison a lot too.
Have you all ever thought about being in politic.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I'm not sure where Garrison has planned. I have mess
some influencers who are interested in that work. I just
don't think it's personally my calling. Like I said, I
think my role is to inspire and my role is
to work alongside. When we look at the people who
have been people who have been a part of our
story as far as Black history goes. We got people
(14:44):
in every industry, and I think we forget that it's
not just about politics. It's also about who is singing songs.
It's also about who's acting on TV scerience because even
like the breakfast Club, who's listening to you guys speak
every day like we all have a role in getting
people engaged in a process, and we have to be
in the marketplace, in mass and in different ways to
be able to exercise enough influence to get people focused
(15:05):
back in on the problem. So I'm just one of
those people. And I consider myself more of an artist
than anything, a storyteller. As I said, I'm getting back
into my poetry and spoken word. But that's what I
feel called.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And it's sad to do.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
When you Askedelman, what was your major psychology? You want
to be a therapist psych Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I wanted to understand people.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, so you're majored in psychologists to be able to
understand people.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Absolutely dope.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, clearly it worked.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
What is uh?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Some challenges that you know, because this is a big responsibility.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You have a show, a weekly show, having to come
up with this content, whether it is I know, it's
a bunch of different things that you do, but it's
still when it's a longer time, you know, is there
or are there any challenges that you run into having
to have everything together? You know, and it ain't nothing
going on?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
What do you oh? It's always something going on. But
I think I have a team. It's not just me.
So we got about five writers on the show and
we id eight.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
We were really never not talking to each other, but
we picked these themes that honestly could use three to
four episodes, but we try to pick out the subtopics that.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Make the most sense for the story we're trying to
tell in that one episode.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And I think the biggest challenge right now since we're
brand new, is bringing people to the table to have
a conversation with us, like booking guests. We're also in Atlanta,
and people travel through Atlanta all the time, but they
don't stop and stay all the time. So we're hoping
though with what we've done so far, we're able to
build a portfolio that makes people be like, dang, I'm
going through Atlanta. Let me see if I can stop
by the people's reef just like people want to stop
(16:43):
by the breakfast club. So we're working towards it, we're
figuring it out. But yeah, I just think the hardest
part is adjusting because we want to be ahead, you know,
and it's hard to stay ahead when you want to
do it right because things take time.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
But we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You said something that it's so interesting to me. You
said you went to Spellman, you're majored in psychology because
you wanted to understand people. I never went to college,
but I did try to attend a couple of technical
schools in my area.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Charic in Psychrolina, tried and technical college.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
One time I went for communications, one time I went
for business, one time I went for psychology. And I
went because of that reason. I wanted to understand myself
and I wanted to understand other people. So what did
you want to understand about people?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Behavior? What drives behavior? Also what affects behavior?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
And you find out, you know, one of the biggest
arguments is nature versus nurture, and you just find out
all the things that contextualize those two things. What it's
your upbringing, whether it's like in the things you might
Inherit also like what socioeconomic stressors that have affected your
family long term that can result in yielding specific behaviors
or even psychotic breaks or what have you. Don't have
(17:51):
to get too deep into that kind of stuff. But
at the end of the day, and I also was
a person I grew up in the Deep South Baptist,
I didn't really stand that much about therapy, and I
remember in one of my first classes, I was like, yeah,
that's cool and all I want to learn about bipolitist order,
but like black people don't really get that right, and
it was like, no, girl, we are exposed to these
sort of things. But anyway, I think at the end
(18:14):
of the day, it just really helped me understand emotions
and like I said, the validity of them and giving
them space to exist and what can trigger you on
what can't, And then also how outside stressors like race,
like gender, like sexuality or whatever also contribute to a
person's well being. And I think saying it right now,
(18:36):
I think what I just want most is for Black
people to be well, no matter what you look like,
no matter who you with, no matter how you move
throught your life. I want us to be well and
I want us to be invested in the wellness of
one another, because the object and goals of oppression is
to make us sick, to make us distracted. And if
we are focused on one another's wellness and wholeness, then
we can be stronger than ever.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Do you remember one of the first textbooks they gave
you at Spelman.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yeah, adw in the World, the African Diaspora in the world.
We all had to take an introductory class where we
learned about just the experience of black people around the globe.
I was not just us experiencing things and how oppression
looks similar for us, and not just people who identify
as black, just darker skinned people around the globe, because
the case systems and things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
What about the regards to psychology, because I remember they
gave us a psychology by.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
David Myers.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I don't know if I remember too much about my
psychology textbooks because my master's was in African American studies
and that's what's most salient. But if anything I remember
is that damn DSM the diagnostic manual. Basically it has
all the disorders like psychological disordument.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What's the moment when you realized your influence was having
real world consequences for better all words, real world consequences.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Honestly, because I started during the pandemic, we was all inside,
so I didn't get to really get to see people.
But when we started to trickle back outside, and unfortunately
Atlanta was among the first to get back outside when
people started meeting me and just like crying, like talking
about like how either I changed their perspective on something,
or I helped heal a relationship in their family, or
even really what it was. I think I was invited
(20:16):
to speak somewhere at the school, and an older woman
about sixty years old, she took me to the side
and she thanked me for saying things she never got
to say when she was my age.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And that was really beautiful.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, that was something you've never said in park a
lot temper because you knew people weren't ready for it.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I don't think there's nothing I've said.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I say what I want to say, and sometimes it's hard,
sometimes it's even it's scary for me, like for instance,
when October seven happened, just not really being ignorant and
also knowing like the necessity to discuss these things in
the call was strong, like also with my management being
like I don't know what you should say, and I
don't know what you shouldn't say, and maybe we should
(20:56):
just like bow out, and also seeing other creators get
like flamed or for not saying anything at all. So
sometimes it's hard, but I don't I don't not say
the things I had a mentor tell me once. I
always pray for a tongue of clay so that I'm
speaking whatever God puts on my heart to say and
it's not coming from me. That it also helps me
feel less responsibility.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
But yeah, have you ever said something that you I
guess would be like was say after it said, and
after you know, you get like I guess, some type
of backlash like, well maybe they weren't ready to hear this,
so I should have said that later.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
No, no, no, we don't got time. Yeah, and I mean, yeah,
we just don't have time. And even if the first
time you hear me say it and you don't like
it and that's your introduction to it, I know it's
going to be brought up again and you've had some
sort of yeah, some point of reference. So whoever, whoever,
the they're able to get the point across from It's
(21:52):
fine because again, it's not about you agreeing with what
comes out of my mouth.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't. I'm not responsible to people in that way.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Have you ever felt like you had to like shrink
your truth to protect your peace?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Not shrink my truth. But sometimes I just be quiet. Yeah,
sometimes I don't feel the need to argue with folks.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, what's something you think you've out grown as a creator,
even if your audience has mm.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I think early on I outgrew the need to feel
like I was always on time or in time with
the demands of social because, like I said, I just
want to be responsible with what I'm saying and give
myself time to research and learn about what's going on
before I say something about it.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, how do you you know everybody likes to say
for the culture, how do you define being for the
culture in a time when culture is constantly commodified.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I speak to the originators of the culture. I speak
to the heart of it, the see of it, the
ground up. I meet people where they are. Yeah, I
think as I said, Also, I think I might have
a different definition of it because not everybody agrees like
what the priorities of the culture are. But as again,
I'm interested in protecting all black bodies and speaking up
(23:07):
for all black bodies.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
So that's that's how I define culture.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I like, I like the idea of people's brief I
would love to see linee in settings I'm talking to you,
like you know said right here, but I'd love to
see you in settings to where like you're debating people
in a way, not debating, because you know, you debate
your equals everybody else you teach.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
But I think a lot of times on these platforms, do.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You need people who are actually speaking truth to power
and teaching folks you ever thought about like going to.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Some of those spaces. Maybe no, I'm mixing it up
on Abby Phillips show.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Or no, I mean because I mean sometimes I just
feel like a lot of that is bating.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I feel like a lot of it is unncessary waste
of time and breath because some people don't have They
come into rooms knowing they're not going to change their mind,
and they're coming their rooms with misinformation as their goal
to spread. So I don't me personally, that's not my
my give. I think someone like the Conscious Lee, he's
very good at that and I let people do what
they do best.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, the consciously.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah well, lene Vannie hosted The People's Brief every Tuesday
at nine pm on Revolt And I guess we get
parking a lot of pamper when we can.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Where they follow you at, you.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Can follow me everywhere at Lenavanee. You can tap into
the show on Revolt TV. You can also watch us
at eleven am the next day on streaming and then
snippets of it on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Absolutely, it's it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club
Wake that ass up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Yeah, since the World's Most Dangerous wanting to show to
Breakfast Club CHARLAMAGNEA God just hilarious. DJ Envy is off
and Laura LaRosa is at court following Diddy's try But
we have a special guest here, Lenee Bene.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
What's happening in Lenae?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
How are you? I'm good?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
You know, I'm sure that y'all see Lenae all the time.
Her parking Lot pimping, Pimping episodes have come across your
feed in some way, shape or form. But now you
got to show called the People's Brief. Yeah, on Revolt
Tuesday at nine pm. What's the difference between the People's
Brief and Walking Lot Pimping?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Oh, one thing, we got more time, it's forty five minutes.
It's also not so you know, every week news headline.
It's more so evergreen things that are happening in the news,
but things that we can talk about over the course
of times. They affect us every day. And just giving
people more tools. I feel like on social media, I've
always tried to be more information heavy and.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Just provide a positive outlook.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
But now that we got more time, we want to
try to provide resources too, and answers to questions.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
And I just complained, how different is it from parking
lot pimping.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I won't say it's too different. I still get to
say what I want to say. We what TV fourteen,
so let's cuss in. But the team over there want
to do what I want to do, and that's like
give everybody the truth and be helpful. We kind of
take the same old doctors do, do no harm and
as much as we can. Yeah, the tone is the same,
(01:27):
but it's really cool because it's not it's newsy, but
it's not. I never taken a traditional approach to things.
So it's like a mix of sixty Minutes and John
Tonight with John Oliver, the Daily Show, a little bit
of Amber Ruffin but with me, Yeah, it was rounded.
It's very well rounded. We have a lot of fun.
The first couple of episode, the first episode were premiered
What's Day Thursday. Premiere this week Tuesday, and I had
(01:52):
Angela Rye On as my first guest.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That was amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, we get to get out in the field, do
something on the street, but a lot of good people
come through and we have a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Did you want to keep parking lot pimping as the
show for a revolt like the title of the show. No,
did you wanted to make it something else?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I wanted to be something else.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I think the identity of it transfers because it's still me,
but it needed to be something different.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It needs to be an evolution. So I was cool,
and I still get to do the parking lot.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I don't know how often, because as you see, I'm
here just like my weeks look different now. But I've
always said the parking lot is never going to leave.
It's something crazy. They're right on the Capitol another January sixth,
I'll pull out my chair and I do some content.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We're just figured it out the flow.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Do you have a random parking lot you go to?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Are you just fine where I live?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, you know what I wanted to ask you, Lina.
How do you know when to educate, when to entertain,
and when to rest Ooh?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't know. Restling is new to me. It's been
a new endeavor.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
When I say new, maybe the past couple of years
because I've just had to be so much more intentional
about it. But I speak to things when I feel
it's necessary, and I'm real in tune with the Lord.
I used to stay stay in tune with your star player,
as Kat william says. But yeah, I just everything that
I speak to I make sure that I'm not just
trying to be the first one to speak my opinion
(03:17):
on something or just like offer something to the dooms grow.
How can I make this conversation useful? How can I
make this something? How can I provide another tool? And
like I said, it's easy to find confident that makes
you feel bad?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
How can I make people feel good?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
And more often than that, especially now that I have
a team to help me concoct these stories, it's less
on me, so it's less taxing.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, do you write from a place of anger or
hope or exhaustion?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
All three of them? And it's funny you say that,
did y'all see inside out to Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, Okay, if you've seen them, then you get the concept.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I have my friends say like, who's at our leaderboard
and everybody said my top three are anger, discussed, and joy.
Because of the way that I see things, I just
I'm real big on character above anything, and the way
you like contribute to society above anything, so more often
than not, I'm disgusted, and more often than not that
makes me exhausted. And you know, a lot of things
make me angry. But I also think anger is a
(04:22):
valid emotion and it doesn't always have to present in
a way that is heavy.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's just what it is.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Like.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm a black woman in America.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
A lot of things make me upset, and I should
be able to say that without being made to feel
like I have to cover up my emotions in any
particular way. But I think the method of storytelling me
uses combines all those things in a beautiful way that
also shows that we're more than our anger, or more
than our joy, more than our exhaustion, more than our disgust,
and we can be all things at one time and
still be full functioning members of society.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
How did you end up at Revolt? How did that happen?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You know, good people speaking my name, and good rooms.
I've been very blessed to have a team no matter
what I'm working on, and they've been fighting for me
in different rooms. I've been pitching different versions of shows,
whether it's scripted unscripted, for the past five years, and
nothing's just been the right fit. But as I said,
I be in tune with the Lord, and he told
me at the end of the last year to stop
(05:16):
trying to force things and to just put stuff down
and let him work. And as soon as I said okay,
wasn't even expecting it. Two weeks later got a call
and said Revolte wants to give you a show. I
was like what, Wow, okay, and my hands were open,
so I was ready to receive it. So that's how
we ended up together.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I wonder for somebody like you, Lene, what do you
do when you feel like your words on enough.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I don't feel like my word's on enough.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I feel like I do what I'm supposed to do,
and I'm okay with that my contribution as long as
I do my best, I'm okay with that whatever the
result is, because whatever I was supposed to contribute is
all I was supposed to contribute, because it's not just
up to me, it's not just up to anybody.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Like we all put in.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We all have a piece to the puzzle to create
the fuller picture. And sometimes it may feel like it
didn't hit the way it was supposed to hit, but
you got to give things time, like the sows. The
seeds you sow always have their time for harvest, and
I've just learned to be content and patient with my contribution.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So it's sometimes you feel like it's like a call
to action, almost like you might activate the person who
might go out there and actually get active.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, that's absolutely what I feel like. My lane is.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I feel like I am My job is tent part
information to bring as many people to the table as possible,
to make them invested, to make them excited, and those
are the people that go out and do something with it.
Even when I left my master's program, my professors told
me I was only going to be able to make
money or make a life for myself if I continue
to get my PhD.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And that's not what I felt called to do.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I immediately wanted to go and share with very young
people all the things that I learned in my program
that I had to pay twenty five thousand dollars and
take out loans to get with all these real stuffy
people that may not have the best methods as far
as connecting with the general public. But I was like,
if I can impart this in high school students, they
can apply to college, they can go on career paths
(07:07):
that with the knowledge, with a fuller knowledge of their
capacity and ability and vocabulary and nuance to be change agents.
So that's all I've ever wanted to do, and that's
what I'm doing, and I'm grateful for that.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
And as a Spellman grad, congratulations, I love that. What
part of that hbc you experience has shaped your voice?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Well, at Spelman, we got a sand It's my choice,
and I choose to change the world. And it's funny,
I've said this, I've told this story so many times,
but when I was first applied, I had teachers at
my high school telling me they didn't think I should go.
They didn't think that I would get in because it
was too expensive, that it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The real world.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
But we shouldn't be encouraging our kids in masks to
go to school to learn how to plug into the
way things already exist. Like we need to be disruptives,
we need to be change agents. And that's what my
HBCU did for me. It was a psychology student, but
every single class you take, whether it's the biology of women,
(08:04):
whether it's math, finite math, or whatever, computer science, you
take it through the lens of black feminism, and so
we have advantage point that allows us to see everybody's
pain and it just makes us. That's why we be
the best applicants for the job most of the time,
most suited for the job most of the time, because
we see people. And so my HBC experience really allowed
(08:26):
me to see what people need in order to feel seen,
and I try to put that in my storytelling as well.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
How do you navigate being both a political educator but
also a cultural influencer and algorithm driven work.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Well, politics was never my game, It was never my choice.
You couldn't touch me with politics with a ten foot pole.
It just became necessary. So, like I said, I've always
been driven by what's necessary, and I started this work
to really be steeped in pop culture and connect that
through to history through an interdisciplinary lens. But as I began,
(09:02):
I started in twenty twenty, so politics was just like
thrust upon us in a real way, and so I
challenged myself to say, like, Okay, I know that we
need to understand this, so how can I incorporate this
into what I do? And it just became even more
and more and more necessary. So I just think because
I speak to people like we cousins, like we family,
because I don't try to hit people over the head
(09:24):
with it, and because I let myself feel all the
things like a regular person feels. They the algorithm can't
beat the content that I'm putting out. Yeah, Like I
draw people regardless, and people sharing it in their family
group chats, grandmas and aunties and kids in seventh grade
and high school students all like talking about what was
(09:44):
on the parking lot this week. And I'm really grateful
for that because it's not about me and my parking lot.
It's really about the information being shared. So I'm grateful
for the anointing that's been put on me that's allowed,
no matter what's changed in the social media landscape, people
to come to the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Of I love when black people say we're not political.
Are you saying politic politics is not your back? Because
when you black in this country, everything is politics. I
don't care what hood you from, I don't care what
ruin are you from. In the South, everybody from your
drunk uncle, your crackhead cousin, everybody's talking about what's going
on in that system and how the government is sucking
us in someone, So it's like you can't avoid having
(10:22):
that conversation.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's what I learned. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, what's.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
One political issue you think just we've become too performative
about and not solution oriented enough about.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I think voting.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying voting is the only tool.
It is, but it is seventy five percent of the
work organizing and sustaining that movement.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I will actually take that back.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It's sustaining period, sustainability period in terms of how we organize,
in terms of how we fight back against political oppression,
because we often wait the year cycle to begin to
complain about what we don't like about candidates and then
are upset when we're not able to show up in
full force and vote together.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
And that make a difference.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I don't think that we give ourselves the opportunity for
our work to actually for our work to return to
us in a good way, because unfortunately, a lot of
times we are motivated by rage and sadness and we
want to get active when things hit close to home.
But something is always hitting close to home for everybody,
and if we don't learn to act as a community
and have the sort of sustain Garrison Hayes said in
(11:33):
a segment in my episode this past Tuesday. He said,
these people don't let up. They've been strategizing. They don't
stop strategizing, So why should we, And especially if we're
already playing catch up, Like it's never a day when
we should just be like, oh, the struggle will be
here tomorrow. But that means you should also be strategizing
for tomorrow. And it's not to say that your life
has to be completely shaped by that, because I say
(11:57):
often like I don't my friends think I'm single now,
and they're like, so what you want like a Mark
Lamont Hill. No, Like, no shade to Mark. He's great,
But I don't need that to encompass my entire life.
Like I'm still a human being. So I'm not saying
that you gotta live, breathe, die, fight the power, but
you do have to have some things ingrained in the
way that you move about your day period to.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Understand that the work never stops. So we just gotta
find that balance.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
And for you, I want somebody who knows that women
can have babies. Oh, only women can have babies.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
I just want to let you know that interesting there
are other people who can have babies, Okay, yeah, I
mean if they have a uterus, they can have babies,
but they just might identify as women two different things,
Like you can be biologically female, but you can't be
biologically woman.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
This woman is a gender construct ocial construct. If you
got a uterius here, you can have a baby.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, that's the point. If you have a uterusy, you
can have a baby.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Okay, cool, we have we agree on that.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Has the Democratic Party tried to cooper your platform or
methodge I was reading this article in the New York
Times yesterday and it was the headline is Democrats throw
money at a problem.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Jesus Christ. I just had it up.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But it basically is out there paying influences and they're
trying to figure out how to utilize the Internet and.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
In the game. I think people got to understand is.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Republicans have been using people with a microphone for years
to just disseminate misinformation. So it's not even like that's
not a tool that shouldn't be used because we do
have to have some opposition. They haven't tried to buy me. No,
I only talk to people I want to talk to.
There's no amount of money. There's no check that just
would make me want to like jump on the bandwagon,
(13:37):
especially because I have critiques. I gotta be able to
say whatever I want to say, and the Democratic Party
definitely got some things that need to be worked on.
I had the honor of working with some good people
in the CBC. And that's the other thing. Like we
live in America, there's no institution that's got it right
or has always had it right from jumps. So I
don't sit here and act like I absolutely have to
(13:59):
agree with something a body has done since its conception.
But if I'm working with people who I understand are
genuine and their efforts, like I'm down with that because,
like I said, I'm trying to be solution oriented and
do no harm and as much as I can.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And you mentioned Garrison earlier. I like Garrison a lot too.
Have you all ever thought about being in politic.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
I'm not sure where Garrison has planned. I have mess
some influencers who are interested in that work. I just
don't think it's personally my calling. Like I said, I
think my role is to inspire and my role is
to work alongside. When we look at the people who
have been people who have been a part of our
story as far as Black history goes. We got people
(14:44):
in every industry, and I think we forget that it's
not just about politics. It's also about who is singing songs.
It's also about who's acting on TV scerience because even
like the breakfast Club, who's listening to you guys speak
every day like we all have a role in getting
people engaged in a process, and we have to be
in the marketplace, in mass and in different ways to
be able to exercise enough influence to get people focused
(15:05):
back in on the problem. So I'm just one of
those people. And I consider myself more of an artist
than anything, a storyteller. As I said, I'm getting back
into my poetry and spoken word. But that's what I
feel called.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And it's sad to do.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
When you Askedelman, what was your major psychology? You want
to be a therapist psych Absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I wanted to understand people.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, so you're majored in psychologists to be able to
understand people.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Absolutely dope.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Well, clearly it worked.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
What is uh?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Some challenges that you know, because this is a big responsibility.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You have a show, a weekly show, having to come
up with this content, whether it is I know, it's
a bunch of different things that you do, but it's
still when it's a longer time, you know, is there
or are there any challenges that you run into having
to have everything together? You know, and it ain't nothing
going on?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
What do you oh? It's always something going on. But
I think I have a team. It's not just me.
So we got about five writers on the show and
we id eight.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
We were really never not talking to each other, but
we picked these themes that honestly could use three to
four episodes, but we try to pick out the subtopics that.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Make the most sense for the story we're trying to
tell in that one episode.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And I think the biggest challenge right now since we're
brand new, is bringing people to the table to have
a conversation with us, like booking guests. We're also in Atlanta,
and people travel through Atlanta all the time, but they
don't stop and stay all the time. So we're hoping
though with what we've done so far, we're able to
build a portfolio that makes people be like, dang, I'm
going through Atlanta. Let me see if I can stop
by the people's reef just like people want to stop
(16:43):
by the breakfast club. So we're working towards it, we're
figuring it out. But yeah, I just think the hardest
part is adjusting because we want to be ahead, you know,
and it's hard to stay ahead when you want to
do it right because things take time.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
But we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You said something that it's so interesting to me. You
said you went to Spellman, you're majored in psychology because
you wanted to understand people. I never went to college,
but I did try to attend a couple of technical
schools in my area.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Charic in Psychrolina, tried and technical college.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
One time I went for communications, one time I went
for business, one time I went for psychology. And I
went because of that reason. I wanted to understand myself
and I wanted to understand other people. So what did
you want to understand about people?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Behavior? What drives behavior? Also what affects behavior?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
And you find out, you know, one of the biggest
arguments is nature versus nurture, and you just find out
all the things that contextualize those two things. What it's
your upbringing, whether it's like in the things you might
Inherit also like what socioeconomic stressors that have affected your
family long term that can result in yielding specific behaviors
or even psychotic breaks or what have you. Don't have
(17:51):
to get too deep into that kind of stuff. But
at the end of the day, and I also was
a person I grew up in the Deep South Baptist,
I didn't really stand that much about therapy, and I
remember in one of my first classes, I was like, yeah,
that's cool and all I want to learn about bipolitist order,
but like black people don't really get that right, and
it was like, no, girl, we are exposed to these
sort of things. But anyway, I think at the end
(18:14):
of the day, it just really helped me understand emotions
and like I said, the validity of them and giving
them space to exist and what can trigger you on
what can't, And then also how outside stressors like race,
like gender, like sexuality or whatever also contribute to a
person's well being. And I think saying it right now,
(18:36):
I think what I just want most is for Black
people to be well, no matter what you look like,
no matter who you with, no matter how you move
throught your life. I want us to be well and
I want us to be invested in the wellness of
one another, because the object and goals of oppression is
to make us sick, to make us distracted. And if
we are focused on one another's wellness and wholeness, then
we can be stronger than ever.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Do you remember one of the first textbooks they gave
you at Spelman.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yeah, adw in the World, the African Diaspora in the world.
We all had to take an introductory class where we
learned about just the experience of black people around the globe.
I was not just us experiencing things and how oppression
looks similar for us, and not just people who identify
as black, just darker skinned people around the globe, because
the case systems and things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
What about the regards to psychology, because I remember they
gave us a psychology by.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
David Myers.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I don't know if I remember too much about my
psychology textbooks because my master's was in African American studies
and that's what's most salient. But if anything I remember
is that damn DSM the diagnostic manual. Basically it has
all the disorders like psychological disordument.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What's the moment when you realized your influence was having
real world consequences for better all words, real world consequences.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Honestly, because I started during the pandemic, we was all inside,
so I didn't get to really get to see people.
But when we started to trickle back outside, and unfortunately
Atlanta was among the first to get back outside when
people started meeting me and just like crying, like talking
about like how either I changed their perspective on something,
or I helped heal a relationship in their family, or
even really what it was. I think I was invited
(20:16):
to speak somewhere at the school, and an older woman
about sixty years old, she took me to the side
and she thanked me for saying things she never got
to say when she was my age.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And that was really beautiful.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah, that was something you've never said in park a
lot temper because you knew people weren't ready for it.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I don't think there's nothing I've said.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I say what I want to say, and sometimes it's hard,
sometimes it's even it's scary for me, like for instance,
when October seven happened, just not really being ignorant and
also knowing like the necessity to discuss these things in
the call was strong, like also with my management being
like I don't know what you should say, and I
don't know what you shouldn't say, and maybe we should
(20:56):
just like bow out, and also seeing other creators get
like flamed or for not saying anything at all. So
sometimes it's hard, but I don't I don't not say
the things I had a mentor tell me once. I
always pray for a tongue of clay so that I'm
speaking whatever God puts on my heart to say and
it's not coming from me. That it also helps me
feel less responsibility.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
But yeah, have you ever said something that you I
guess would be like was say after it said, and
after you know, you get like I guess, some type
of backlash like, well maybe they weren't ready to hear this,
so I should have said that later.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
No, no, no, we don't got time. Yeah, and I mean, yeah,
we just don't have time. And even if the first
time you hear me say it and you don't like
it and that's your introduction to it, I know it's
going to be brought up again and you've had some
sort of yeah, some point of reference. So whoever, whoever,
the they're able to get the point across from It's
(21:52):
fine because again, it's not about you agreeing with what
comes out of my mouth.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't. I'm not responsible to people in that way.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Have you ever felt like you had to like shrink
your truth to protect your peace?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Not shrink my truth. But sometimes I just be quiet. Yeah,
sometimes I don't feel the need to argue with folks.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, what's something you think you've out grown as a creator,
even if your audience has mm.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I think early on I outgrew the need to feel
like I was always on time or in time with
the demands of social because, like I said, I just
want to be responsible with what I'm saying and give
myself time to research and learn about what's going on
before I say something about it.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, how do you you know everybody likes to say
for the culture, how do you define being for the
culture in a time when culture is constantly commodified.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I speak to the originators of the culture. I speak
to the heart of it, the see of it, the
ground up. I meet people where they are. Yeah, I
think as I said, Also, I think I might have
a different definition of it because not everybody agrees like
what the priorities of the culture are. But as again,
I'm interested in protecting all black bodies and speaking up
(23:07):
for all black bodies.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
So that's that's how I define culture.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I like, I like the idea of people's brief I
would love to see linee in settings I'm talking to you,
like you know said right here, but I'd love to
see you in settings to where like you're debating people
in a way, not debating, because you know, you debate
your equals everybody else you teach.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
But I think a lot of times on these platforms, do.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
You need people who are actually speaking truth to power
and teaching folks you ever thought about like going to.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Some of those spaces. Maybe no, I'm mixing it up
on Abby Phillips show.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Or no, I mean because I mean sometimes I just
feel like a lot of that is bating.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
I feel like a lot of it is unncessary waste
of time and breath because some people don't have They
come into rooms knowing they're not going to change their mind,
and they're coming their rooms with misinformation as their goal
to spread. So I don't me personally, that's not my
my give. I think someone like the Conscious Lee, he's
very good at that and I let people do what
they do best.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, the consciously.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah well, lene Vannie hosted The People's Brief every Tuesday

parking a lot of pamper when we can.
