mall and maybe like you know what Chico came through about?
Know anything? I know the malls in every city, so
you don't do any online shopping. No, you gotta feel
it in person. See that should come and it don't
fit right, and then you gotta end up going to

the mall to take it back. So you might as
well go to the mall the first time. And I
have to worry about feel the faververacy how it is
and everything. See if it fits. You made weird these
days exactly? Oh for you. You got thick, thick boy problems.
You can say that, you can say that, what's this

they reached out to me on some Plaire ship and
they said, you know, we've been thinking this care practice
because we're caring. Then you know what fun with the
cap ship. But I just always feel strange weighing some

(03:24):

My name like it's going to attract the right type
of energy. If you look at the logo, it's it's

how we run. We get running on them. Yeah running.

(04:06):
We're still waiting. Yeah, we're waiting on a few to
come in. And and just left the atmosphere kind of settled,
you know what I mean. Well, that's good. I like
that you brought up my city, Kansas City. I can tell.
I can tell I screwed it over a little bit.
Just to be safe, Y don't know the helbot something

I'll tell you in a minute. But I want to
brown played for a minute and you can give him
a few fun facts before we really just kick in
the dose with pro Poking's a fun fact about Kansas
City that we wouldn't know. Something historical about your city

(04:51):
that the majority of the country would not know unless
you were from Kansas City. Damn. Okay, you're even making
it too difficult, not the way she did everything. Okay, well, okay,
so I'm from Kansas City. I grew up off seventy
Street in Trust. Okay, in Trust is you know, historic
street in Kansas City, Missouri, because it was the dividing

(05:12):
line right between blacks and whites right back in Jim
Crow days. And so that is very interesting case. If
you go to that part of the city, there are
a lot of historic areas and it's just it's just
one of those big things. And a lot of people
in Kansas City know that. I don't think anybody outside
of it would know that. But yeah, righting line, yeah line,
what's your barbecue? I mean, that's the Gates Barbecue, Like

(05:34):
I gotta give it. You know, that's the original right there?

call and just pray for you random and always don't

calling to give you a prep master to you for that,
brother Katie, have phone. But right there, you know it's
going for its burnt ends. It has the best barbecue
in the nation. A lot of people like to debate

his dad that I like this chicken. He didn't know
what else to call. That's some fast ship. But you
can't use any that liquid smoke. That's not real barbecue.

barbecue sauce and that. Yeah, you probably using something from
Kansas City and has some Really you gotta you know,

of that important that called it the side ship restaurant

(11:24):
with nothing besides and man, this should be the perfect
time to tell them welcome back to show for those
of you who don't know. Man, I really be out
here in these streets in traffic, on the Weather channel,
drink watching the news, and I always tell you it's

(11:47):
all about bringing people to the trap that y'all don't
know nothing about Now this lady right here, find this
news later in America. I said it. I told him,
I said, you out of Conte Trap. No, she didn't
came down here. They got a whole show. Ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the Trap, Demetria yea, thank you for having

(12:13):
me come on. Well you might remember me from your
show out in Dallas a few years ago. You got
on the dress. Yeah, that's a ghet old legendary song.
That's what was that ship all the way? No, but
I'm excited to be out here. You know, I'm hosting

(12:35):
a new show for Rebol TV called Black Girl Stuff. Yeah,
what what is? What is Black Girl Stuff? Black Girl Stuff?
I mean it's everything on the show. We talk about
social issues, fun stuff too, and it's through the lens
of basically this very diverse cast of black women who
come from all different walks of life. And I mean

(12:57):
it's just amazing. I feel like we're giving voices to
the voiceless here. And you got to catch our next show.
It's going to be dropping here in a couple of weeks.
So you know what you should do. You've got Black
Girl Stuff, you should have a segment called the side
chick segment. But women come make side, okay, because I
was about to say, you side, we just gotta say

(13:20):
they're gonna make greens and macaroni, and you know, because
we know how to we know how to make the main. Well,
that's why you have the man to make the main
that I'm gonna come in here and you know, make
everything you in this deal. I remember they used to
make both. I'm not that hand shipped man. I'm not

(13:41):
doing that. I was thinking the grill, because anything outside
to grill, I'm not. Yeah, that's right, you know what
I mean. I want to get to that point where
you get the head of towel over your shoulder. I
think when you grilled, you don't just get the head
of towel over your shoulder until you reach a certain
point in life. Now, this is how you know you're
really good on the grid. If three people call you

(14:01):
before you put any meat on it, that's how you
know you started cooking it. No, we ain't gonna do
nothing about two thirty three. We're on our way. And
you know, ship like that when you start getting them
calls and people ask you and they bring it, because
that's when they're like, all right, when you ask somebody

(14:22):
to run to the store and they run right to
the store right back, that's it, right right back. That's
it right there. That's a real one. So so how
did this start for you with it? I mean, of
course we know Kansas City, Missouri, But how did you
get into doing what it is that you do? Oh? Man?
So I went to KU right, let's go Jayhawk winner

(14:46):
winners only. You know I'm saying, I don't. I don't.
Let's put that out there. What I'm just saying, I've
got school pride, kid, I'm just saying the journalist school.
Worked in Kansas City at a TV station. I started
off doing traffic. Then I went to Vegas, which is
kind of like my second hometown, and they started calling
me traffic Bay and stuff. But you know, I was

(15:08):
really good at my job. And then from there I
got the call to Dallas and I started working there
as an anchor, traffic, digital show host, all of that,
and you know, we just keep climbing, climbing climate. So yeah,
it's been a it's been a ride almost. Yes, hashtag
traffic Bay looking at you remember it? Remember that? Remember

(15:29):
I saw a little bit because you know, you had
a little thing. They were saying, he wasn't supposed to
be like this, and yeah, yeah, you know that supposed
to be how you are. Yeah, I was just a
body shaming type of thing where a lady didn't, you know,
felt like I was too big to be wearing the
clothes that I was wearing, and so I was watching
too close too much. He used it forffic traffick. Yeah,

(16:06):
show up with you for two years. I asked you
for all the way. Yeah. Some people even if it
hit me up, you know, saying things about my traffic segments.
I don't even know if I want to get into it,
but just crazy things. I mean, working on the news,
working on television, I mean you get all of those
crazy messages and dans. I've had people couples coming me

(16:30):
like I'm not gonna say anymore. I'm just saying, couples
come to me like your segment really gets us, gets
us going, and I'm like, wow, this is really interesting.
Some traffic on four thirty five we have people losing
their minds. I don't know, I understand. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know. And I'm like, I shopped Dillards all

(16:50):
the time. I know dealer time understanding. Bad thing is
be just boarded downs. Man. Anything they can spark that
relationship up. Man, you never know they gonna turn that
TV or that traffic or like baby come in here
you imagined the motherfucker. Then jail the whole jail. You're quiet.

(17:12):
Nobody got nowhere to go working about traffic like about
freeway backed up like a But a lot of my
supporters have, you know, sent me jail mail and stuff
prison mail, and I've got a lot of it. Well,
first of all, I mean a lot of them are
really nice. Sometimes they'll get out like this happened a
lot in Dallas, like working out. I just got out

(17:34):
of jail and he was like, hey, I used to
watch you all the time, like it kept me going,
and I'm just like he turned to gut. There came
around man from keep me you man stuff things. There

(17:57):
was even some people who were busy, yeah, or what
else are they doing? Things were very informative. No, there
were some of U some of the weirdos too. Unfortunately,
you get that in every business. Like the people who
become stalkers eventually navigate that as a as a woman,
and I mean it just as a woman doing anything,

(18:18):
you have to navigate that. But you're a public figure.
So one of the things that people that aren't public
figures don't understand is when you go out, you only
see who you see, but everybody sees you. So how
do you navigate, you know, living your normal life being
somebody that you already get it from what you do,
and then being a lovely lady, Like, how do you
deal with that? I'm gonna be honest, it's not been easy.
I mean in Dallas. You know, I love Dallas, Texas.

(18:40):
The people are so supportive of me. But some of
the worst experiences in my life happened in Dallas, Texas.
I had three adult men that, you know, I had
to pursue legal action against people that I've never met
my entire life that were stalking me actively. There was
one man who came to the TV station like three
thirty in the morning, that's when we're at work, and
he came dressed in a tux um the sign saying Dmitri,

(19:01):
will you marry me? With the ring? And the security
was so convinced by what he looked like in his
whole you know, get up like, oh, Demitri must know him.
They almost led him into the studio. And this is
somebody who had been following me, I mean, sending really
you know, profane, really terrible things to me. It just
was very, very scary, Like you know, it's even to
this day, like I still have to deal with it.
And these are people I've never spoken to, aside from

(19:22):
saying the police told me to tell you to stop
where you're gonna go to jail, and they don't stop.
And so it just was that constantly, and it's something
that I'm constantly having to deal with. And so I'm
a very friendly person if you catch me in public,
but sometimes I'm like, yo, just I gotta be careful
because there's a lot of people out there. You don't
even know that they sent you twenty thousand messages and
they're coming to you in person, and you don't realize
that they've been stalking you for years and personal like

(19:46):
I know, you know what I said, I know, get
really angry and men threatened violence and stuff. I mean
that and all of the dozens of you know, pornographic images,
most more than dozens hundreds slim off cub I mean,
so yeah, it's hard, it's hard, you know, so be
you know, yeah, man, because you see somebody every day,

(20:07):
don't mean you know that person. That don't mean like well,
there were people who would think I'd be speaking to
them and code doing my traffic reports. They'd be like, oh,
you said fourteen seventy one, so was the first digits
of your phone number right there, right, And they would
be sending me stuff from prison just weird something. No,
I don't know, I was. I was just giving an
address for a traffic reporter voice. He got it right,

(20:27):
He wasted his chance to win a lot of you
where you receive your jail mailing, you know, some people
would send it to the TV station, and then some
people had found my home address, you know, and so
that was really really scary. And so then it's like, oh,
I gotta get the police involved. And so it's like
constantly a police matter, you know, because you have to
talk address. Yeah, that's what I'm here now are I'm

(20:51):
here in Atlanta right now because that's where the show
was filmed. But we already already broadcasted, you know what.
But I always you know, were right, But it's like, yeah,
we shoot the show here. So when I'm working for
what you do that keeps you from saying fun this
ship and you know, not being a public person anymore,
because I'm sure that's that's traumatizing, you know what I mean,

(21:12):
we get unsolicited everything, like is it just simply the
love for what you do or do you have an
ultimate goal that you're trying to get to that you
all the way Chico. I mean, I don't let anything
stop me. It's nothing that you can say to me.
And you can try to scare me, do weirds whatever.
I don't. You know, this is my past, this is
what I'm built for. And I'm from Kansas City, like
you know, as we grow up a little tonger. I
don't know, but I'm just like, I don't I don't

(21:33):
play that, and you know I'm getting the things and
I'm just like I can start talking at you know,
talk right now, but I don't. I don't play about that.
Don't even do you know trying me like you know,
but yeah, other than that, I think that people who
follow me, who supported me over the years, like they
know my heart. I'm a good strong person and so
try if you want. You got show called black girl stuff.

(22:02):
Welcome back to black Man, Stuffy, Black man, you know
where the so called black man stuff. Man, we were
just talking about you know, inflation in the you know,
the housing crisis and things of that nature, because you
know that's as black men we have to be worried
about ship like that. Yeah, so how you feel about

(22:22):
the Atlanta traffic. I gotta get your perspective. You're the
traffic lady. Oh my god, this gonna come in, not
come traffic with us? Yes, yeah, no, it's it's crazy.
I mean the thing that people warn me about coming
to Atlanta is like, don't have road rage because you
never know what somebody might do. Right, and I kind
of have a temper and stuff like I'm doing. You

(22:44):
got to relax, to relax. I was like, let me
relax because I was that the traffic lady progge right, right,
But I hear I heard that. I mean, you just
got to be really careful how you move. And one
of my friends used to live out here, So for me,
I'm just like, okay, let me let me chill. Like
you know, I've had people do some crazy things to

(23:04):
me on the road, but I'm just like, what did
what did your road rage developed? I was listening to
te grizzly first day out, and they just hit me
so hard that I was like, yeah, that's when, like
I just listen to my music real loud everything. That's

(23:25):
kind of how I grew up. Like you know, for me,
I just go around a lot of people with fifteens
and their vehicles. You have the spinners on the wheels
and stuff. So for me, it's on that vibe. So
I bobed so heavy and back then literally, So for me,
I'm like, it gets you in that mold. I'm like, well,
hold on, chill down, chill out, you know, you know,

(23:46):
something relaxed. Don't let that music a little baby right now,
like you know, no, yeah, little baby won't get to
the bag. He won't get he won't get back to
making money. Man. I know, it's been it's been amazing though.
I love that there's so much culture out here in history.
It's been great. I feel like, you know, I need
a little bit more time to do some exploring and stuff.

(24:07):
But you guys, the atmosphere is in Atlanta is just different,
especially when you you know, doing something because you have
a job. Yeah, so when you you're doing do you
went to journalism school, so I'm taking you a communications
major and journal journalism major. Okay, so how did you

(24:29):
go from journalism and going that path to going to
Revolt and doing a show that's more you know, entertainment base. Yeah,
I'm an entertainer. To meet you, the entertainer has a
nice dring tower, right, you know. Um, I love him though,
but I just feel like it was the right next

(24:50):
move for me. I don't want to be typecast is
just the news lady like that's I'm more than that,
and that's never what I just wanted to do. But
I looked at some of the people who they run
the band, you know. That's what I'm saying. There's so
much more that I have to offer, and I think
this is an exciting opportunity because they encourage you to
have your truest voice at Revolt. I feel like it's
in the name of the network, black On Network. It's

(25:10):
it's really amazing to be there, and I just feel
like there's so many opportunities here in Atlanta, and I'm
just really excited to be here, you know, and people
have been so gracious and kind, and you know, I've
just been eating a lot, so yeah, I mean no,
I've just been enjoying it though. I mean I feel
like you never know when you move, like what you're
going to find. Yeah, like when you go to Kansas City, Missouri,

(25:32):
you might find you a nice girl or something like that.
You could it's a nice girls. Yeah. What do you
mean by nice? Nice? Just good upstanding, wholesome, wholesome women. Yes,
some good wholesome women coming out of Kansas City. Yeah,

(25:57):
just a little spice, like some spice, you know what
I mean? Like for me, I'm the oldest of four, right,
I've got three brothers. I grew up. Yeah, like kind
of was played dozens. I don't know what you'll call
it out here, but all we did was roast people
for a living Big Times video and on Wild like
you read all the way now. Being a you know,

(26:19):
I went to school for you know, I was a
communications major, but I thought I was going to be
a newscaster when I graduated. That's what you have, the
perfect voice. But it's never too late. But think about it, right,
Oh yeah, I used to be I used to be
the sports anchor. Back to RAM News. I'm Anthony being
here with your update about the wits to sell them
State versus Livingstone game. Unfortunately we took the l but

(26:43):
we still put up a good fight. That's what that's
That's what I used to do all the way. But
but there's a difference in being on camera and that
capacity versus what I'm sure you're doing that revolt. How
did you make that adjustment. I've always out to be
my most authentic self, right, and in the news world,

(27:03):
you have to kind of earn your movie right. And
I did that though, because when you come in and
you really take what you do seriously and you're great
at your job, and I say that, I'm like, I
was getting to people, you know, to work on time
all the time. Do you feel me like, no, I'm kidding,
But also, but no, that's the truth. I'm serious about that.
And also, yeah, you can't be late doing the traffic.

(27:26):
Should getting to work on time to get that bag.
You feel me like, don't take this road take that.
I said. I take everything that I do very seriously,
and so with that, I earned that and it just
was I put myself out there. I feel like there's
some things that I said that people in the news
industry would never say in fear of losing their job.
But for me, I felt that I had earned the
value to say that and to be like, Okay, you

(27:49):
know what's your next move then, right, and to give
a voice to the voice lest I mean, there's some
serious things that happened in Dallas, Texas, a lot of
black people who have been killed unjustly, and for me,
I've always spoke and defend of our people right and
trying to find justice. And so you know, some people
feel uncomfortable talking about that on the news, but for me,
I earned that voice. So I used my platform in
that way. And I'm like, I have the value here,

(28:11):
Like I'm really great at what I do, so I'm
gonna take this risk and see what happens. That's the
kind of advocacy that I respect, when you put everything
on the line to fight for what's right. That's another
thing I can tell you what the general listening school,
could you talk without your hands? Well that's my Nigerian.
I heard you're talking about my guy. What is it?
Burn boy? Yes? Right now, breast breast, let's eat. It's like,

does sil means that he's from a different tribe, and
so first I thought he was saying, I forget was
it somebody told me maybe would you know where you
know you can't do? That's what it means. I don't

(29:01):
know that you know I can't do it. I've been
the same back to you. What I mean can't do?

to what I appreciate you, bro, I tell you the
first people scaming like that in the later with Nigerians,
I see Nigerian. He paid for his games with a
hotel key. How did they got credit cards? Don't do this,

(30:05):

my family, the Nigerian Princess ship. They almost got me,

Check it out, check it out. You have to visit
some do. I just want to go to Africa. I

(30:55):
want to hear the Blue country man. I won't hit
a few countries. I've been Nigeria on the list I've been.
I've been in Egypt, I've been in Northern Africa. I
haven't been to you know. I want to go to Nigeria.
I want to go to Central Africa and South Africa.
We have a big following in South Africa, just just

(31:15):
South Africa specifically though, like I've seen, I've got videos
of people in South Africa, like in parties and groups
of people and they got us playing like on the
TVs and ship and somebody sent me some ship. Like
what it's gonna be video? They yeah, you're trying at
the time, I just don't remember. That's the type of ship.

(31:38):
Just beautiful men. They'd be all up on the mountain.
They oh, they took you overseas. That's that's crazy too.
And just see him in the airport, seeing somebody in
the airport with the stuff all being like, somebody send
me some ship from Russia. They watching the ship over
there right what you was supposed to accept that? Don't
say that. He said it was rush delivery. Rush was rushing,

(32:06):
were good, pretty grinding first though. Come on, man, Yes,
they got to get up. I gotta set on the
table right here. That's you know, let me and they
got to get her back, and they got to let
the people go over here. They're still locked up for weed.
If you could get weed and you can trade that
ship on the stock market, then what then we're talking

(32:29):
about damn my ship. They do need to let her go, man,
because as soon as she get back, we're gonna smoke
so much weed for her, and she's gonna smoke it
with you. I'm saying, like he's gonna be a blowback. Yeah,
you go not now like being in the industry. You
know that you're in the entertainment industry. Is there anybody

(32:51):
who you grew up watching or that you watch now
that motivates you too? Yeah? What some of those people
for you? Jay z Okay, Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. Like
people ask me that all the time, and it's like
he was finally expecting to hear you know, some famous journalist. No, no,

(33:11):
I didn't from family Okay, a real news that's more
his wife more, she was the news lady. But okay,
I watched too much family guys. Okay, no, I know that.

(33:32):
But the okay, we'll see that just shows you what.
For me, what inspires me is music, like I love
music like I sit here talk about the college dropout,
I talk about the black albums from my most favorite
I'm talking about. I have this tweet that's always been
popular about J Cole and I love Ja Cole, But
I said, you know, it's Friday. I ain't trying to
hear no J Cole okay, And so people just tweeted

(33:53):
that like a storm. But I love Jay Cole. One
of my favorite projects from him ever, you know, Friday
Night Lights, because it's inspired to me, you see the
hustle the hungry were in the Journey, and that's where
I'm at. So I love it. I'm the Black Album
like I'm like, yo, I love I love that College
of course reasonable doubt. Oh, I mean all of that
I love. But for me, the Black Album, I just

(34:14):
there's so many songs on there, like you know, when
I think about Encore, you know, when I come back
like Jordan wearing the four or five. It ain't to
play games with you. There's so many inspirational minds there.
Probably mam your team, and I need you to remember
what thing. So if you want this odd cor I

(34:36):
need you to stream and see, you know, so we
can quote Hope all day. Like that's the kind of stuff.
The Blueprint, to me, in my opinion, the Blueprint is
the best rap album ever made, favorite home learn all time,
I know, as far as structured album, it's not my
personal favorite as far as my personal just in my

(34:57):
you know this list, but it's far structured albums from
one to the bottom, Like it's really a blueprint you
get from the first song. If you listen to it
from one all the way down to the last song,
it's literally a blueprint how to make it as a
black man in America, no matter what your your situation
is that number with the one I said before you

(35:19):
looking at once, my black boy, my main raise, no food,
put me anywhere on God's green earth, triple my worth.
You know, love it. See that's how that's what inspires
me right there. So for me, it's just I love
it like I just I just do. Man. I could
quote hold Kanye all day and I do with a
lot of my interviews, and I'm just like those lines
mean so much to me, Like last call from the dropout,

(35:40):
Like for me, it gives me chills. You know what
I'm saying. You think we can still get that deal Rocketbelt?
Like you know what I mean. The culture now it's
it's so much like I remember when it is being
that was first the little thing with Stewart Scott may
say some ship from a song and somebody. Then it
just became a staple and it's like yeah, now it's
like it reaches so many people because it's been going

(36:01):
for so long and it's still it's dope. And I
feel like being here in Atlanta, I mean the history
of music that's here. I mean it's just amazing what
you know about the Atlanta here. I mean he quote
me on you know, years and stuff or nothing. But
we talked about the music and the artists that have
come here, the legends, the icons that lived here to
day even I mean, it's just it's dope. I always

(36:23):
would say that it was a cash money, no limit
bad boy raised me. That's what That's how I feel, right, Okay,
So that ship what I mean, like cash money took
over cram fucking tann b. It was. It was with
so much negativity and music like you could have looked good.

(36:45):
The positive ship looked a platinum helicopter. I'm trying to
put platinum eyebrows on the holes. I'm gonna take just
fo exactly, just that music itself, like you listen to

(37:07):
that like man that plus big Mars. I'd be back
in a brand new Fleetwood Cadillan Liken this place, save money,
making nigga for show. She let buy your boy house
kissing these hold these bros want stars, big decks, down
on the draught, seven days a weak, seven brand new cars. Yeah,

(37:29):
I'll do the JS, the Honey, the Navigator. You're not
a head of folks. That can flow so you can
see the motherfucking big Thomas car show. On the left side,
you got the brand new bids and on the right
side and shaking hands for years and in the middle

(37:50):
nigga's going twenties and tens. On the top niggas dranking
juice with g juice with gent juice, low new cars,
really broad superstar. But with that type of influence, like

(38:11):
coming from the news world, I know you're dealing with
a lot of tenured people out of old mentality. How
do you how do you navigate getting those people to
see what you see and see the value and what
you don't always they don't always see that, you know.
I mean for me, I've always listened to the kind
of music that I've listened to, and I always fight
for this new idea of what professionalism looks like. In

(38:32):
the workplace, there a lot of people would say, oh,
you're listening to jay Z. I remember one time I
did this post. It was a bad and bougie me goes.
I was singing in Cuevo's part and my boss had
called me in at the time in Vegas. She was like,
do you want to be a news anchor? I'm like, yeah,
but this is a really hard verse right now, Like
I really like this. You know, it became like that,
but for me, he was doing it on the air.

(38:52):
Oh no, no, no, I didn't. I didn't see that
part on there. I was just singing in a video
and I posted to my Instagram, and you know, it
wasn't too fond of it. There's a time when I
was on the news and people are asking me what
kind of music I listened to when I work out.
I was like, you know, a little jeezy easy, And
I got pulled aside and said, you know, Dmitria, you
know we don't like all that club talk on television.
I'm like, what the hell do you mean club me talk?

(39:13):
What are you talking about? She's like, well, you know
how she was scrambling define because what she was saying
is that you're talking to black for television. That's what
they're doing the club make fun of my voice and
say I have a traditional news lady voice. Is just
my voice right here? So what's funny is hell to
hear her say that, I'm like, oh wow, but it's
like that. She's probably mean to say plug talk got
a confusion. She really wanted to say I'm not one

(39:35):
of your friends. Yeahs, she met blood. The last time
you drink quavo and my station, all right, I don't
I don't care who your meges. Next time you bring
some quavo to work, you're out of here. Also, now
you're Latina, you bring some quave on to work, you're

(39:58):
gonna have to take off. That's what you're gonna happen.
And we're not gonna oh yeah, but you just fight
for it. And I feel like a lot of young
people who are entering that workforce right because I mean,
there's a certain standard that's been set there. But you

(40:20):
have to prove yourself. And I did all right. Like
like I said, I take what I do very seriously,
everything that I do, and so I'm really that avoluately
that good, right, you know what I mean. I was
really that good at my job. And people think, oh,
it's just traffics, Like no, I worked with the state,
I worked with the county, like I was really involved
in the community and getting real traffic problems fixed. You know, people,

(40:42):
I gotta notice I never where the hell Okay, I
think about it. I then I thought about the traffic copter.
But who then is calling in the traffic, Like I
wonder if the news know about it, Like you've got
like a network of like tifters and ship. Yeah, there
are people like that of course. And then they're all

(41:04):
computer that too. Yeah, they got the bat line to
the traffic news studio, right, so they just call a
straight in right there. I'm like, oh, for real, thank you.
But they also is a helicopters. Some stations have helicopters
that they have the budget for it, but it's scanner.
We did sometimes and it depended on the station I
was at. Sometimes they launched it into the air and
we have those ship there. You got like, look at

(41:31):
these they have all that. It's crazy they do. I
mean it's it's it's cool. You know, you make it
what it is. And I feel like I always make
the best out of everything that I do. I mean,

(41:51):
it was it was cool. You know, it's cool. It's
not easy. So you're doing with the news completely do
news anymore unless it's on a bigger scale. I still
hereciate news, but as far as local news, no, I'm
never gonna do local You want to do you're saying
never go No, I won't ever do local news ever again.
You want to be on good day to day. No,

(42:14):
it doesn't even have to be that. I just feel
like you just continue to build your audience so that
you can have doors available to you there American, Good
morning America. I mean just you know, whatever comes you
know my way, that that's the right fit. And so
I'm grateful for this opportunity here at Revolt right now.
But there's a lot of things I want to do.
I want to do some acting, I want to do

(42:35):
some singing. You want to exactly. You can say you
can blow a little bit. We had heard a few
little things I will I'm thinking of. I'm like, you
can't punt me like I don't care, it's gonna be
up the sea like some things people be hating, like

(42:57):
like hate when they go them. Don't that's want to say.
I'm not worried about it. I'm like, you can't bully
me in to take it a post down girl. And
that's when what are we really talking about right now?
Come on? And I don't really say much because for me,
I'm like, it's just it's too easy, Like yeah, I
don't I don't say I don't get into the base
of people online like that. If it's in an educational way,
if I want to teach you something or you can

(43:21):
everything is other people are reading, and it's like, Okay,
I see where Demetris coming from. You're learning something about me.
I'm teaching you about me and my perspective. And I
feel like my audience they want to know more about
to meet your Where is demet your stand on this issue?
So it's like, now you know, right, but they're ignorant.
As people who delete their comments after you say something,
I try never to just I'm not custom anybody. I don't.
I could, but I don't. That's a good point that

(43:41):
you just made. What do you consider you see what
your interview skills here? Now? What do you consider to
be your audience? What makes somebody your audience and your perspective?
And there are people have been walking with me since
my first job in Kansas City. I feel like people
who are interested in what I'm talking about, invested in
what I'm saying. The people who followed me on my
social channels, whether you support me, hate me, whatever you're

(44:04):
doing on there, you know what I mean. I just
feel like I'm putting this out there. I'm giving you content.
I'm showing you more about who I am, what I'm about,
what I'm trying to do. And that's that's why I
feel my audience, you know, on Instagram in particular, I mean,
you know, big cities. New York is the number one,
and I've actually never been to New York. Isn't that crazy?
Because I didn't have time for a long time and
whatever had vacation from news. I've never been in New York.

(44:27):
I've never been in New York. But New York people
right with me, though, like you know what to me,
like my number one following through New York City on
Instagram and I'm gonna go now I'm on the East Coast.
I could go, but it was hard, like that work schedule.
I was working three thirty in the morning, so like
you know, noon, you get home, your zombie, you're tired.
You don't have much vacation schedule for everybody whoa y'all mask,

(45:00):
But now they should have. They shouldn't put the red
lights on the traffic, the ones that take the longest
time to change out here. The lights take forever to
change in Vegas. No, that should be making I run
two minute. Yeah, the game with them cameras see man,
that ship is. Man. They made like twenty million dollars

(45:21):
off camera phone pictures from speeding on the playing that ship.
And then it's like they get you to where if
you stop even you ain't run the light. But if
your wheel is on the white line, yeah, lights your
ship up and you see that ship and your young
man's biggest I guess it's lightning. No, that's what I mean.

(45:43):
I'm telling you ain't nothing like that ship ruined whereever
you was on your way too fast. You don't even
want to go no more. You're driving that ship to
be so clear you can't dispute it. I'm hanging out
to win. I'm like, this is me. That hasn't happen
to me yet because I in Vegas. They did not
have mothers. Yeah, nothing, but they have some places, some places.

(46:07):
I'm always scared cameras. Man, I don't believe in that
type of ship. Like, if the motherfucker's didn't catch you
in real life, they shouldn't be able to just say ship.
Right kidding. You gotta know, if you didn't catch your
motherucking real life, you shouldn't be able to say ship.
At that same theory about the helicopter. The police be cheating, man.

(46:29):
They don't posts the dogs. They're not real. Get that.
Ain't no fucking drug dogs. Not a drug dog. I'm
talking about the dog. Get loose to come back. Games
of this round? Why you get what I'm saying. I
want this round. Officers like yeah, Like, bro, I catch

(46:52):
me the next time we're gonna see each other again.
I want this round. You're gonna cheat and let the
dog loose. You talk about you talking about the dogs
and go get yours. That's that's Yeah, that's the drug
dogs that you're talking about. Snip shot. They don't do that. Ship.
I don't know. I feel like I've thinking over two
hours up the bay chases and seen it and yeah,

(47:14):
you're not getting high speed chase. Yes, it appears this
person is veering off the road away in the residential area. Yeah,
I've seen it. Crazy like four people hop out the
car like, yeah, y'all are getting away helicopters right that
you're not helicopter more imaging and kicking and get away
from that bird man, that bird and cheek cold man.
Worry about that helicopter. Let me looking manage on himself.

(47:42):
That's value. Going from me. They got images and the
heat coming up coming over there. That's Steve. Yeah, that's crazy.
Like so what awesome? The crazy running towards a school.
We gotta get him for he's going up. What are

(48:10):
some of the crazy experiences you've had as a news woman?
For me, a lot of well, you know, a lot
of my work was in the studio, right, but I
think one of the most interesting things green screen, anchor desk,
you know, all of that. But I feel like, for me,
there was this when El Choppo was getting believe because

(48:37):
one of our journalists at the station in Dallas had
done a story about it and uh had you know
what is it profiled some of the victims, families and
all of this, and apparently some people from El Chappo's
team had reached out and was like, you know, we
don't want you doing these stories or a team of media.
You know, his aunt's ride, all that cocaine, You better

(49:04):
have some money to call it. This is It's It's
crazy because at the time my boss was like, Hey,
we need everybody to repost this story. And I'm like,
what the hell do I look like reposting something about
El Choppell When they've ben told you to take that
story off, you know what I mean? Like these are
glass windows at the Double A C. The new station
was about the Mavericks where they played the American Airline

(49:26):
Center right, and I'm like, so you want them to
come up in here with this non bulletproof glass with
them a k's and lay me out. I'm like, I'm
not doing that. So for me, that was scary because
it was such a real threat. And then think about Dallas, Texas,
something close to the border. Ain't nothing the card sell
to just come up north. It's nothing, They're already there,
come on, you know it was it was it was

(49:50):
a scary thing because it was like, you know, your
John told me you, hey, repost the support this. I'm like,
hell no, not supporting this. I trying to go out
like that so that the stalkers, of course, which is
hella scary. But then I mean there's there's always something,
you know, but the stock and I think that was
the craziest thing, and it keeps going. I still can't
even believe in myself the question do you have are

(50:11):
you in a relationship? Is it hard for you to
have a boyfriend? Know what you do uh, I'm not
in a relationship. His heart boat right now, ain't to
the tv. He let me acting like a woman when
you get home? So what are we doing? You make

(50:32):
the house hello dog me? Oh yeah, I so plea

(50:57):
and the window. I'll take it back. I love you, babe.
I'm sorry weird taking. I'm just kidding. I'm single. I'm single, no, no, no,
And it is it hard to find people. I feel
like there are a lot of people that hit me up. People. Yeah,
there's a lot of people that hit me up. I
mean it's kind of hard to choose. It's like walking
into the ice cream store, like, damnits all these flavors.
I don't even know if I want to know where

(51:17):
I'm going home, I can't choose. Walk past the ice
cream like it's just how much for one scoop? He
just put a sprinkle in my back? Then it is love.

(51:39):
Just keep getting them mole spool you let me let
me try to cho that one. Got it? Get a
little bit of that way. Yeah, that's that's a chad.

(52:04):
At least they are coming to cold ye trying to
figure out what I want. So you still it is
because there's there's a lot of people who hit me
up on the daily, and it's very hard to like,

(52:27):
I don't I'm what am I supposed to do? Who
are you? Like? I don't know how people think that gold.
That's more your responsibility. You have to know what you
don't want and then what you want or come to
you easy. There are some people who like hit me,
but I'm like, I just don't. I don't know. I
don't want my name attached to people. There's people who,
you know, maybe more popular and stuff like this, and
it's like for me, you know, you're not about to
be out there like oh yeah, you know, I smashed

(52:49):
Traffic Bay and all that. Like I'm not like, you know,
I don't like that. Like for me, I feel like
it's hard to being a woman because guys are the
ones that always stand to benefit like oh yeah, I
had her, I had her me. It's like I feel
like yeah, because I'm like, I'm not gonna have you.
When you look at my name, you're not gonna see
some other guy attached. Everything that I did is self

(53:10):
made and everything. But there's also you're not gonna have
people running my you know, name through the dirt looking
like oh yeah, he was with her us like it's
it's kind of messy, and I don't like messy things.
And a lot of people don't understand that. There's some
people that I'm like, yeah, we can go out, but
it's got to be really private because I really don't
want to be seen with you like that, and people
take that personally and reason you don't want to see Yeah,
but I feel like I don't want to go out

(53:35):
like that. I want to go out like we get
some ship through somewhere and we go back in. You'
out the car to same time, but I got a car.
I don't get out of the car the same time.
You get out of the car. You're gonna go ahead
and pick up the food. Matter of fact, get in
the back and I'm like, I drove the uber but

(53:59):
me they be walking around the corner. Hello. But I
mean when you say somebody dragging your name through the mother,

(54:21):
you've been specific to men who you will have to
encounter in your work. I just feel like, because any
man that you've been with can do that, this is true.
And that's why it's so it's kind of rough because
it's like I like to I'm gonna date somebody I
like them to have something to lose, like I have
to lose. In the public realm, there are some people
who you know what I mean, it's just like, you know,
so it's kind of like gon an even kill there,
but but anybody can do you scan. It's like you said,

(54:41):
it really doesn't matter. But for me, there's some people
who have reputations attached to their name and it's like, oh,
they've been wanted to take me out. And I'm like,
I don't know about all that, because you know, I'm
not trying to just look like you know. I mean, well,
if you say you don't like the and this is
just from what you just said. If you said you
don't like the fact that somebody can drag your name
through the why would you allow somebody else's name to

(55:03):
be dragged through the money? I wouldn't because I've never
done that to a Just for me, it's just kind
of a I feel like some people don't have an
appreciation for it. Okay, I have a lot. I have
a lot to lose all the time, right, and it's
not as easy being a woman. I feel like I
feel like, like I said, it's usually the men who

(55:23):
benefit from being able to say like, oh I had her.
Women aren't really the ones to be like, oh I
had him, had him. You're gonna be called a slud,
You're gonna be called all these kinds of things. And
I just feel like, for me, I like to limit
that a little bit and be very selective people who
are really gonna appreciate me and not use me as
an accessory to say, oh, look who I've been with.
I'm just gonna have her around like this, because there's
some people who knew that way. So I have to

(55:44):
find somebody who really values me everything that I bring
to the table and appreciates me as a person, because
that's what I give to somebody. And it's not always
easy to find somebody like that, especially when you're working
all the damn time somebody that you actually, you know,
connect with, versus somebody to seeing you as a good look.
There's some people do that, and it's it's hurtful. It's
just like, damn, it's like and I'm I'm very cautious
of that because some people wouldn't care if they, you know,

(56:06):
grab you, took you somewhere, flaunted you all around, da
da da, and it's just like they're just using you
as a pond. It's never happened to me in particular,
but it's just something that I'm you know, concerned about
because I don't want you to, you know, I don't
like that, like I'm not, you know, don't you know.
And people do that and in the defense of that
type of ship, you know, as a defense of defensive

(56:27):
so literally, because I hear a lot of women say that.
But the thing about it is, I think it's because
of the statud that's been said. As a man, we
have to bring something tangible in order to get your attention.
We have to be in a position to do certain
things with you from the moment you meet us. And
the reason why I think a lot of men like

(56:49):
I had her is because all of the things that
he had to do to get you is the reason
why he feels like he's had an accomplishment in that
because I had to pay for something. But that's never
been the case with me. Though I can't speak for everybody.
That might be true for a lot of people, but
for me, I've never been the kind of woman that
goes out and uses a man for anything. There are
plenty of nice things that I could have right now

(57:10):
if I decided to mess with somebody and not you know,
but not really mean it. Right, there are people that
I I could have taken advantage of the way, but
I've never done that. I would have rolled up in
here with some crazy, crazy things that that was the case.
Like you know what I'm saying, I wouldn't you know,
I'll be off it some disclosed location, you know what
I'm saying, Like, it's not like that for me. Okay,
I've had those opportunities, but I don't take advantage of

(57:31):
any offered to you. Oh my god, condos, cars, money,
people I've never met before, you know. But it's even
more than that. There's people no no, no, no, no,
but anyway, but there's some people who genuinely have wanted

(57:54):
to be in a relationship with me and and wanted that.
And I'm like that, I don't view you that way,
and so I couldn't take these things from you because
it's not genuine I would never do that. I don't
want the trouble of that, and I wouldn't want somebody
doing that to me. And that's that makes me sad.
How you turned down a condo. I don't feel I
wasn't feeling it was. I was like years old. This

(58:14):
guy was twenty nine and he was trying to lock
me down, and I was like, yeah, what was he
doing with that condo? He wanted to me with me?
He wanted to lock it down. He's like, oh, she's
the one, like I want to like, bro chill out,
bro know he wanted to you turned down an out
a lot of things I wanted. You've ever been turned down?

(58:39):
Do you go through that? Like do you get rejected?
So you deal with rejection? At this point, I don't
really reach out to a lot of people I was.
I was living like did I ain't turn it down?
You're gonna do that? So you're gonna do what that
lady saying a little bit? How long you think you
say you got out? You know, so hollo hollo you

(59:03):
I'm right for a little bit, but a little bit
for how long? For condoc just it's some kind of
right if not found out, at least until I find out,
like how much like if it's my ship, like if
they just like paying for it and I'm living when
you see your name on the paper, yeah like paid off? Yeah,
I'm sure I don't let me find out that I like,

(59:25):
if I find out, I can't lose this ship. You
talking about that, you're getting the condo. It's one of
the mother's being. I'm bringing it out. Return up to man. Return. Yeah,
as soon as everything transferred to my ship, I'm straight. People,

(59:45):
I think that opens a terrible man. We don't even
get the chance to use mother with you. You got
nobody with no abu accomplishment. Hello, you got found a
man and building a man. Woman with some abundance like
that fell you ever been experienced a woman with a brigance?
You didn't turn down your fucking ril. Did You've always

(01:00:10):
wanted hold on? Hold this is too much. You got
him to me too bad. You gotta amend it, gracious,
abund this because the abundance to be there. But she
made it clear. Yeah it ain't for you. Yeah, and
that ain't never matter. Ain't no woman like that? Lady
off their line between love and hate, because you're a

(01:00:30):
deal with the crazy if they is looking at I
mean my uncle, she wasn't crazy saying this ship guy,
rest my unfles He's just like man, this nigga martin
tripping on this small tripping head that's what they would
have been almost the band. You wouldn't been worried. He

(01:00:51):
was promoter, your party promoter and taught you how to
ride horses by the man went about La link crystals,
got the suits. That was telling toll And all that
that nigga was still that story, don't don't play. I
wouldn't even knew old girl was backing down the way.
I would have been big chilling in melo. Oh yeah

(01:01:17):
with Migel New Year's rules. Come now, how do you
how do you not become corrupted by power? Because you're
around a lot of it, Like you just said, you
just you just said, you turned down condos and houses.
That got to be a hell of a month. You
around some Mela niggers. That's just like, hey man, you
once I way to live That ain't some ship that's

(01:01:38):
just your ain't like it another one that's something else? Bro,
Hey yeah I moved your house. That's picture something this
morning over there. Pop. Yeah, we got don't take your
your favorite calling and got your name stitches in the seats.

(01:02:00):
It's like, how do you out as a woman or
you know, especially as a professional woman, are you not
you know, affected by those things? I have a very
strong sense of self and I'm gonna go get her
in the hustler. You can't buy me, let me working.
I feel like you're seeing the wrong messes working to work,

(01:02:22):
hard work, which you keep real pay people. It works
for some people, but for me. You know, no, motherfucker's
who benefit from hard work don't never have to do so.
But so basically, you're saying that if a man that

(01:02:42):
you were attracted to and like with awful these things,
you would be like that. Come on, because it's because
it's genuine. I'm attracted to you, I'm interested in you,
I'm gonna give you the time of day. Things are
going to be genuine, right. I have been approached by
a lot of people that have that have means, and
I turned them down. It could have drastically changed my
life so many somewhere eating two piece from I'm not,

(01:03:05):
I'm not. It's it's just the truth. But for me,
it's like, I do believe in love, and I do believe.
I believe in that, and I'm a very genuine person
and I don't lie about things, and I can't boyfriend
a bumass boyfriend. Yes I have. My first boyfriend was
a bumass boyfriend, and I was I was such a
devoted girlfriend. You know, he said he was going through
tough times. I would send him groceries to school. I

(01:03:27):
would send him a pizza because we went to different colleges,
and you know, I thought I had a nice groceres
would show up college. Okay, well we can you've forgotten
the whole time, friend. Okay, well I want to hear
what he did though my last if you thought it
was gonna be funny, I thought you might like it. Right,
So he told me he didn't have any money or

(01:03:48):
whatever like this, but he was really spending all his
money on weed, and I was buying the dates. And
I was, by that time frame, don't to my adult life.
That's yeah, Okay, so that's situation my most recent boyfriend.
How that ended. I don't think that he was ready
for something serious. I was very devoted, very caring because

(01:04:09):
for me, I'm a huge romantic and I go all
out like I'm bad, like I will, you know, bounced
a check or two because I'm like, I just wanted
you to have this, you know, I know you like it.
It was some designer stuff that I didn't even have
for myself and I'm like, that's what you like and
I just wanted to do it. Hell no, no, no, no, no,
no hotel no. I just went all out. And that

(01:04:46):
was somebody who didn't reciprocate a lot. But for me,
that isn't gonna stop me from giving. You know I
have I have a heart that just goes on and
on and on, like you know, it's endless, right, So
it's like, I'm not jaded. It just wasn't the best
situation my heart, like to mcgrid time and the person.

(01:05:12):
But I feel like some people get jaded and now
because somebody did them wrong, now they're too afraid to
love again. And that's That's never been me. But I
know what I'm looking for and I want So it's
like I'm very selective and so you ask me why
I'm single, and that's why it's not for a shortage
of options because there are many suitors. Yeah, but it's like,
do I really like you. I'm not gonna waste your
time to what going on a vacation with you and

(01:05:33):
use you for your your means. I'm not gonna do that.
I won't enjoy it. I don't like that. I don't
want to do that. How do you stabfish like though? Like,
I mean, if somebody you know with all that, what
you deal with, what you say you do, it's crazy.
Are you trying to know? I wouldn't do that to you? Yeah,
you're asking me a lot of terrible It depends on

(01:06:00):
who you ask. But if you're looking for what you're
looking for, I's not a nigger like me. I'll tell
you that. I that you established that though, Like what's
your Do you have a vetting process or do you just? God?
You consumer work and that's what And that's cool to
be that way. But you know, I'm a woman. I

(01:06:21):
have a real, real clock and all of these things.
So yeah, I definitely, yeah, we all have our biological
clocks and so I take that into consideration and stuff.
But I'm selective and I'm not going to settle for
something just because I'm like, oh I want to Sally,
that's what's wrong with you. That's so when this settle
things ship because he used to be settling down. The

(01:06:43):
motherfucker what you like? You gonna settlem form some settle down,
trust me, mother gonna have a mold on his back
of something. It's gonna be some ship that you do
not like. Nobody's perfect. I'm not perfect either, you know.
I told you I have road rage. So you know
there's little things like that's gotta be deeping, even love.
I believe in love. I believe in those kinds of things.
And so for me, I know what I bring to
the table. I'm a very compassionate and pathetic person. I'm

(01:07:05):
a great listener, and I bring all these things sound
very free money. I just told you I bought this
man designer things and I went damn near broke doing
it with nothing that could be anything that could be
the look que change fifty dollars a year in Las Vegas.
I don't know how much that comes out to every
two weeks. It wasn't much. But I bought this man

(01:07:26):
some VERSACEI that he wanted. And because that's the kind
of stuff like and it they get limited the dish

(01:07:49):
and they gets only three of these and they get anyway,
do you know what I mean? So damn damn you
never nobody somebody out there watching like to meet you,
some nice girl, and you you spent a whole old
check on some design ship. Yeah, I just I knew
I was going to get the money back. I mean,
I had a real job and everything, but it just
was like something to see somebody smile, And for me,
I just was like, you know, I wanted to do this,

(01:08:10):
and I'm very proactive about that if I see, like
they are little gaps in your life to make your
life easier, like I feel those and I'm very active
in that. Say shirt to smile? What kind of show you? Hello,

(01:08:30):
That's what I'm saying. I don't have anything to wear.
It was again again he said everything sounds free, but
it's not free. The kind of attention that I bring
to somebody's life and helping in the way that I
do those kind of what I do, Like it's you
know what I mean, it's very y. I didn't hear

(01:08:51):
what you say. Hey man, you ever seen a scot dweller? Baby?
This bit nice. I love that one. Y'all learn well
unless you go getty. But black girl stuff, like tell
us about the show specifically girl, I'm black. I'm just

(01:09:17):
I'm a black woman. Yeah, but yeah, black girl too. Yeah,
I saw your little clip you was discussing, um, Yeah,
we were talking about colorism on the show. Yeah, there
were some comments about the show, and they felt like
there wasn't enough of different hues of darker skinned people

(01:09:37):
on the show addressed that there were some people who
weren't happy about that, and um, we we we talked
about it, and there are people who said that, you know,
you're not black enough, and that's something that I've always
heard my entire life, and a lot of people I
don't not on my page, like so it wasn't really
that kind of a thing. So I don't I don't
really know, but they wanted to talk about it, and

(01:09:59):
it is is a relevant issue when we're talking about
the media who's historically cherry picked lighter complexion people to
represent black people on the whole, not only on TV,
but theory about that. I think black people look too
serious really, like you know, black people faces, and we
looked too serious when we're delivering news and ship. It
might cause a hysteria, like a man's hysteria, you know,

(01:10:23):
just hit different when the black person said when they
deliver that bad and the water system is poisoned coming
up at the seas, they could be like bro, bro, yeah,
rushed the ship in Fat thirty and then everybody like
many that, oh my god, I don't know. So you

(01:10:44):
need a black news network. I just remember Revolt and
it's one in New York called the Black News Network.
Now we needed to be well, did he is actually
black owned? A lot of black stations and channels aren't
necessarily black owned. And we do have Black News and

(01:11:04):
it's a great product. You should check it out. And
if you don't have regulative, you can download it on
the app. Tell Vote we to promote your shop. Let
me tell you I know all about Revote. I remember
stop before they heard everybody? Yeah, I don't remember when

(01:11:24):
they came back and it was called the Revolution. It
was the whole revolation. Yeah, they changed it. Yeah, and
with them we did that. And what about Leon? No
you tried that. Now that we ain't drinking that, we
got back to the office and we go up there.

(01:11:46):
We'll have something with him next time. Alright, we gotta
go back. Well do you think then shout out the pup?
What's the yount? Call him? Because I asked him personally.
Remember he saying, yeah, I call him what they have
a little company. We just don't call them broke. That
was I can't call him that. That's that's for sure.

(01:12:07):
You is this the first company you've worked for that's
been black owned. Isn't a difference at a radio station
in Kansas City when I was in college and you'd
be on the news and the radio at the same time.
I interned before, I was before I was on the news, Right,
But you so they might, you know, especially if they're
owned by the same company. Yeah, I'm sure sometimes you're

(01:12:29):
here a little weather person of the traffic person. I
remember that's always yeah, depends intending like they're in the
helicopter looking down. Yeah, Megan, we're flying about now years
So coming from that world that you come from, what's

(01:12:50):
the benefit of working for something that's black owned, company
that's black owning. I just think it's historic and I
think we talk about black ownership and we talk about
how that trickles down through our leadership. The creator of
the show, Monique Channel of the Creative Black Girl Stuff,
she's black. Our executive producers are black, our producers are black.
And so you have to remind me so much to
this show. Who created this show is black, our executive producers, black,

(01:13:14):
directors as black. Everybody black, but he black to he black,
a little bit black, a little bit he Bob with
you checking, he said earlier. That's good enough. Yeah, no,
I think that's that's amazing to be able to see
these kinds of perspectives that have been muffled and hidden
for so long, and so now you're getting this and
it's amazing. And we've got the Revolts some coming up

(01:13:37):
at the end of the month too, so yeah, those
people are gonna have to check it out as well.
Black Girl stuff. You're gonna have a panel there on Sunday, right,
