Speaker 3 (05:19):
Know you, yes. And the hippie market. I still have
jewelry from there. I love it.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It was bags.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Did you get the leather bags? Only?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Because I only carry two verses, the summer person the
winter person. Yeah, I lose. I lose things if I
try to change too much. But before we get started
into the chat, I would love to have breakfast with you.
And this is a good life habit that I do
every weekday morning on the show where I take a
bite of my gratitude sandwich with my guest. So what
(05:58):
that consists of top of the bun is things that
we're grateful for outside of ourselves. So we look outside
and say what I'm grateful for and then the bottom
of the bun. We're going to model for people to
do before they go to bed, which is what do
you like inside yourself? So what do you appreciate about yourself?
(06:19):
So those are the two, the top of the bun
and the bottom of the bun. And I do this
every weekday morning with my guests so that we can
start the day in the most positive way. Okay, yes,
so top of the butt. So what are you grateful for?
I'll start. I'm grateful for my morning coffee, which I
(06:43):
absolutely love and it's kind of cute. For my birthday
this year, my best friends gave me this mug. May
the Force be with you because my nickname is Force.
It's okay to be not to be okay, love it
and a get that. So I am grateful for my
coffee and that beautiful taste first thing in the morning,
(07:07):
and my mum. That's two. What are you grateful for?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I'm grateful to be able to get up my bed
and walk. Yes, it's very important when you know the
sensation that you can get up from your back and
walk the first steps. Absolutely, I learned that because.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I had a secession.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
When I have my son, and then I learned that
everything in your body is so connected. So if you're
not be able to connect to your body with little
cells and nerves, you not be able to do anything.
So I'm grateful to be able.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
To walk, yes, yes, yes, And I'm grateful to be
able to taste. That's a good point. You know, our
five senses, if we have all five of our senses,
were very fortunate. Not everybody has that. Although at the
same time, the most beautiful language. I'm grateful that I
know a little bit of American Sign language, which I
(08:06):
think is the most beautiful. You know, yeah, this is joy, right,
this is life. So I am grateful for American Sign language.
It's so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, it's everything is so important. Sometimes you're so busy
and you don't keep attention in details, the small things,
so small, but it's so important. And then I start
to connect to that point. Yeah that's beautiful, doctor.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah, one more thing that you're grateful for.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I am breal to read because I think, after when
do you go through a lot in your life and
you be able to do it just looks like simple,
but it's so important to read, Like you say, oh
on my podcast, and to be awake off the your surrounds,
(09:00):
because sometimes you go so automatic and then you don't
keep attention to things around you. So be able to
breed and be able to be so all lettle surrounds
and be connected. I'm grateful and because I went to
a lot my life and then all these things is
so important for me, you know, and then so particular
(09:21):
for me, So I value a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, that's great, that's great. One last gratitude for me.
I'm grateful that I you know, I have two beautiful
girls inside and out, Chloe May and so away. We
just had Chloe's birthday and now Sarah's birthday is coming up.
So just the the blessing of children, which you understand,
(09:47):
and the and the super blessing. I was just looking
at this. She wrote this little poem for me, my
little one, my mom's voice. Not today, it's like a
whisper in the wind. Actually maybe it is today. Like
that her eyes shimmer like an elegant rose in the sunlight,
(10:10):
love limitless.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Oh that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I have so beautiful daughters.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
That's amazing. What's her birthday? Birthday?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
What day is that? The birth September thirteenth is the
older one. So she's a virgo. Okay, very dramatic. And
then Sarah's uh nineteenth of October. Oh, right in the
middle of two of them. Yes, she's you have a
good one.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Yeah, there was very particular, very tale.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
They are very yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Tale and Libra is more balanced. And my mom is
a Libra.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
She's the first Wednesday, she's in the.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
First Okay, yeah, her birthday? Is she here in America?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
She lives with me.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh yeah, I met her. What am I talking?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
She was very lovely. She's a lovely woman. I gave
her the phone to try to take the video and
she looked at me and want yes. I thought she
would be used to it from you because I.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Think it was her pictures and like loos.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's so funny. That's the top of the bun. Thanks
for taking a bite. Now. The bottom of the bun
is uh weightlifting or weight training for your soul. A
lot of us understand now how important mental health is.
And every time there's a siren, it's saying that this
(11:40):
is very important. So this is very important. I am
grateful to Oprah, my honorable moniker, for bringing the discussion
about mental health to the forefront. When she came into
mainstream media. At the time, it was only Jerry's I
(12:00):
don't know if you know who Terry's springer was, but
all about the drama of the worst in people. So
she made it okay to talk about mental health. And
that's the good news. The bad news is, I see
a lot of people recognize that something's not right, and
the first thing they do is reach for something to
(12:24):
make them feel better, which may numb them out and
may ask what they're feeling. And they still have that
voice that we talked about on your podcast that criticizes
them all the time. So this exercise, the bottom of
the bond, is to begin or continue to identify what
(12:46):
you like about yourself. What is it about yourself that
you like and can soothe yourself with. So no matter
who insults you, when you go to bed tonight, you're
going to remember what's good about you. There's a siren again,
what is good about you? All right? So I'll start.
(13:09):
I am grateful and appreciate that I am. I'm gonna
I'm going to bring you this show no matter if
I have a voice or not, I am going to uh.
I am committed to my work on the planet uh
uh to be uh for for my happy idea mission
(13:30):
idiot and more happy people in the next eight years.
So I am committed. What do you think about yourself?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I'm a commedia of mys Okay, cool? Cool, because if
you're nice teeth to the things you believe, and how
do you say how who you are and how you
want to perceive them the world you down, yes, no,
(14:00):
no matter what what you can say, try to prove
and once they make creator nahative about you and spread
around and it's really really hard to you know, to
stay there. So resilience for me is very important. Has
(14:23):
been my flag for over years. And be able to
carry myself and then to show who I am and
the things I can do I'm capable to do has
been an amazing journey in my life.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Awesome, Yeah, awesome. And if you've just tuned in, I
see some eyeballs rolling in. You're tuned in to take
my advice, I'm not using it. Yeah, balance with to

(16:34):
you Danny for him in Africa. He's in Rwanda.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Thank you, thank you so much to say hi.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Hi, yes, and what are you? One last appreciation for you?
What do you like about yourself?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
About myself?
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh my god, you know, at this moment in my life,
doctor Marissa, I'm discovering that I have.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
I have been able to touch a lot of talents
that was covered before.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You know when when you started to discover things that
you never thought that you could do in your life,
and then and then you cross the line of the fear.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
And then when you cross the line of the fear,
it's still okay.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Oh I want to do this.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
I want to touch that, I want to check on jeez,
let me ask you a question.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
So right now, at this moment, what I like about
myself is the way I'm carrying, like here, everything that
was bothering in the past, that was picking on me
in the past, I'm able.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Now to live alone, leave on the back and be
able to just walk through all those.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Like you say, the phantoms come in your mind and
then you just knock them down and go through it.
So right now, what I like about me is a
new person that I'm becoming but learning for all these
lessons and also being taught to different people in my life.
It's like here I have the closed door and open
(18:14):
doors to a different world. So I'm not maybe you
know what I mean to say, Like right now, on
this point in my life, what I like about me
is the new me, naw Me, Neil Daniella. You know,
it's just this woman that's becoming. I'm become a different
woman and am allowing me to do. It's scary.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
It's not easy because you was attached to.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Know the little little Daniella, little me. I love myself,
you know. But and then I have my friends say, oh,
I know, he remember when you used to do this.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Today was so much fun, say you know what happened?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I do, but I don't want to that than yell anymore.
He was important for me, but now I love with
just that yellow. So just what I love about me
is I'm embracing myself now a my age, my experience,
my life. I'm embracing myself for who I am, and
(19:17):
I'm accepting who I am right now. That's what's I
love about me. Like today, I dressed up, I don't
make cap hair, have just now the podcast let me
do it. Just It's so powerful when you on the
stage of your life that you like. I'm embracing this
moment I lost.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yes, good, good, Yes, that's why I'm working and ready
to launch a new program called From your Own Worst
Enemy to your number one best Friend. Yes, and I
think this is something that everyone can benefit from loving yourself.
(20:02):
I think you know, life can be so amazing without
that voice or fear, as you said, which stands for
future events already ruined. And you know it's it's it's
meaningless or useless, not useful, useless, but to discover that
(20:25):
is correct. All right, that's it for breakfast. Thanks for
joining us for breakfast. I hope that you join me
every weekday morning. I'm here at nine, I'm listen a
big time and you can free subscribe to my YouTube
TV channel. You'll get an alert every weekday morning to
join me for breakfast at the top of every show,
all week long, every weekday morning. Here on, take my advice.
(20:48):
I'm not using a gift balance with to to mars
of the morning show. Thanks for joining us for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
All right, and now for the topic of the days.
Everything is awesome. The top of the topic of the
day is I love that you did this community podcast
for immigrants, and I wanted to touch on that because
(21:23):
right now Princess is not a good thing right now
with our political climate with uh, you know, all that's
going on. I don't want to talk about politics. We
don't talk about politics here, but we do talk about
solutions to you know, things that aren't going the way
(21:44):
that they used to go or could be going better.
So tell me about the initial you had mentioned to
me when you interviewed me in the green room, your
green room that you used to do podcasts with, you know,
support and success stories of immigrants from Brazil. I travel
(22:05):
from Brazil. So tell me about that.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
My always in my life and now in doing over
here in the US. So I have been living twenty
six years, twenty five years now. I came into thousands
with no English, no no no family. I come with
American dream from Brazil to the US. I landed in
Los Angeles say okay, this is my land. That is
(22:32):
the place I want to be here forever and ever.
But going being an immigrant, a woman, you know, a
woman of color, was no family, no background, was very
hard for me. I went through a lot of we
call in Brazil, pe hangar a lot of hard times
I have. I have great friends that have great family here.
(22:54):
I was lucky to have people support me. But at
the same time, I'm going to other side. I had
people who were really really bad in my life. So
because on that time, twenty years ago, half the internet
wasn't like this. The social media was like that, you know,
the social media was like like open to everyone, we
(23:19):
were more lot. We have a lack of information of
how can you be an immigrant you know over here
and don't fail, don't go through hard times, learn the system,
(23:39):
learn the process, learn the language, learn how you needed
to be a core to the laws in the US.
So because of the lack of experience for information, on
that time, I thought my life that why I why
not me? You know, I should do some thing to
(24:00):
help my community, should do something to help all the
Brazilians or all the immigrants besides being Brazilian or Portuguese
or Portuguese language or anybody else, anyone else. So I
decided to create a podcast because I had many, many,
a lot of friends that they're so super talent and
(24:23):
their musicians, dancers or the artists or they are professionals,
they have no voice they had no voice to talk
about the life or how they they perceive now their
American life, how they succeed, what was their challenge. So
I see a lot of podcasters now and everybody talking.
(24:46):
But many of the stories I don't believe it's real.
Many of the stories that are making fake looks like
you really like you to make likes to make like, oh,
I want to get followers.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I thought that I know a wonderful community.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I know a lot of people that had a great
life and they went through a lot of hardships. Why
not bring give them a voice? So one day I say, okay,
I will call my friend and say they are musicians.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
They their talent, super talent, but no one knew about
their life.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
No one knew about how.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
They were there, you know.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
And and that's why I asked them, can you do
a live with me? Because I want to talk about immigration.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I want to talk about how.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
We were living in Los Angeles, how we perceive the work.
How can you get booked now? How did you.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Go to school?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Or you're not just a musician musician, you are a
doctor and people need to know your doctor. People need
to know how long you're saying school you know, or
how is your life?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
And everything so works well, and they all they love
to be live with me.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I was doing in the back of my kitchen at
the time, and then the thing now their lives are growing,
and I thought that it was a potential because we
need voice. And then if you don't talk about how
hard it is to be immigrants or how difficult to
be a immigrant, people would not think it's easy to
(26:23):
be here, and it's not easy. We have you face
challenges and we are so resilient to be here. And
then to pursue your American dream, pursue your dream. No one,
no one, no one is here because oh I just
want to be here because it's easy. Not We all know,
(26:46):
you all immigrants know it is not easy to be ammigrants.
It is not easy to be over here. And I
want to be the voice show the beautiful story behind them.
I wan not tell them you have a choice, a
chance not to talk about you. Yes, I have wonder
(27:07):
full stories there. I have goosebumps because my niche is
to connect and give them a voice, is to give
a platform to them say this is who I am,
and I am you know, and I love this country
so much because I want to be here to help
the country. I want to add value. I'm not here
(27:29):
to take it from the country. I'm here to add
the value.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
That's great, and that's what I have a special spot for, Uh,
colorful women because they have to not only say siren again,
that's an important.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Point, very important.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Because you know it's it's overcoming I think in your
culture as well. Uh there's a saying in Chinese and
Japanese the nail that stands up is hammered down. Yeah,
so there's not a lot of incentive for women in
particular to speak out to do something more than just
raise a family. And I'm not saying that that isn't important.
(28:12):
I totally believe in motherhood and I think it's an
amazing gift that we get to do and it's a
full time job. And at the same time to be
able to use our voices, which you're doing, and especially
for those who didn't. I was born in Canada, so
for me, I'm kind of like in that middle ground.
(28:33):
I knew English because being in Canada, So I have
a particular you know, when people say they apologize for
not being able to speak English well, and I stop
them and I say, no, no, no. The fact that
you speak your own what you grew up with language perfectly,
(28:56):
and now you're learning a whole new language and you're trying,
and you're not, you know, afraid to try or not
demanding that everybody learns how to speak your language. That's
a that's something that I would hope that more Americans
would have that view instead of I.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Can't understand you. You know, why do you speak like that?
You know, the whole fact that you know, people make
fun of Asian you know, ring ring ling ling. The
reason why.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Chinese people cannot pronounce certain you know that r L
is because they don't have that connection. There's no word
in the language that requires the tongue and the lips
to do that particular mostly show you don't grow up
with that. Of course you're not going to be able
to say that. So instead of making fun of it,
(29:49):
it'd be great if people go, wow, you know, I
have this joke. It's not that funny. But what do
you call a person that speaks three languages true language? Right? Well,
how about two languages bi linguage, bi lingual? Only one
language American? But okay, so I'm just saying I'm just
(30:15):
taking this time. It's not I'm not making fun of Americans,
but I am asking. This is your hashtag happy eighty
eight challenge. Anytime I give anyone a challenge, by the way,
I want you to. If you want to try this challenge,
just post it and put hashtag happy eighty eight. I'm
gonna look. Every week I'm gonna give people prizes for
(30:38):
meeting the challenge. So today's happy eight challenge is I
want you to befriend someone who has an accent and
not go to them and say where are you from? Right,
I just want you to compliment them and say, you know,
thanks for learning English. That's it, drive by. I compliment
(31:00):
doesn't need to be a big deal. So this shift
from difference is bad and wrong, and go back to
your home, or if you don't like it here, go
back to your country. If I hear that one more time,
I'm gonna lose it. So this our country was founded
on diversity. Uh, you know, it's not a melting pot.
(31:23):
It's a mosaic. You know, we're all beautiful in our
unique and wonderful way. We all don't like my My
analogy is not a melting pot. It's a stew Right. Well,
if you're Brazilian, your carrots are all you know carrots.
I'm a meat or you know, vegan meat or whatever.
(31:46):
And then you know French the potatoes. So we're different
but together, or we cooked together and we have a
beautiful gravy and we have a beautiful meal. Right. You know,
if we don't need to lose our differences, we just
use our differences to add to the richness by your
called America. So there you go, that's.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
What is bitterful.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I explain my American friends usually, like because sometimes I
have American friends and they are lovely, and then I
work with them and then I explain them when you're
in your like, uh, for example, in Brazil, I grow
up watching American movies. I grow up listening to American songs.
(32:31):
I grew up watching commercials that introduces you the American fashion,
the jeans, the tennis shows, you know, all the TV shows.
So it's impossible you don't love America when you're country.
It's impossible you don't want to go to see Disneyland
(32:51):
when you're a country, because we are like all daily
bases are over there sending as information about American life.
American dream. Everything is possible. The movie is the dreaming.
So we all grow up watching those movies. For they can,
(33:12):
they can, they can, my mom, my grandmother? So how
can you not dream about America? So and then I
try to explain them because they most of them, they
don't know what's happening outside of the country. How American
US like they promote American life outside is the massive
(33:36):
promotion because of everything about politics, economy, right.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
And democracy. Everything is around America. So it's impossible. The
whole worlds want.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
To be here.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Everyone would see Hollywood Sign, everyone goes to the stars.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
The whole frame of fame.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
So how so just beer of what I ask to
you know, people who they have to understand why we.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Love to be here for here, Why.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
You want to learn English, why you want to work,
why you want to dress like America, Why you want
to buy levice or niked, because we we have consuming
all this American dreams over nakeds and nakeds and nakeds.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
The fact that we don't speak English without accent. It's
just a detail.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
It's not that that you have to understand. If you
love your country, it should be.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Proud you want to be here. It should be proud.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
I have a wonderful country that is wonderful and everyone
wants copying me.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
It should be so proud to be American, and.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Well follow you to be a here with you and
try and fight it to be with you. Come on, guys,
be a fighter to.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Be with you. Do you understand that? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely.
And I'm just because we need to take a quick
break for news, weather, traffic, and a word from our sponsor.
I am in studio with Danny Kelly. As you can say,
she has nothing to say at all, and I got
to talk a lot when I was on her show,
(35:27):
and now it's her turn to talk a lot on
my show. We'll be right back. This is take advice.
I'm not using a can bounce with. We'll be back

Speaker 2 (36:38):
That's the idea for doctor Marissa Pay's new book call
Eight Ways to Be Happy.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Many of us say, I am my own worst critic.
Nobody's harder on me than I am.
Speaker 10 (36:50):
And my response to that is stop it.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Why are you doing that to yourself? You have to
be your biggest fan, because if you can't, at the
end of the day say I did a good job,
who is We don't have.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
To constantly be angry at the things that are wrong.
Why don't we choose to.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Be happy about things that are right.
Speaker 11 (37:11):
We have the choice.
Speaker 10 (37:12):
That's our muscle, and life is so amazing if we
can see it.
Speaker 2 (37:37):

(38:23):
with some good news. Somebody said it was like taking
that feel good story at the end of the news
hour and stretching it into an entire show. And it
is this week, consecutive week number seven hundred that I
have been on camera on the air, and for that,
I'm going to give myself some applause. And this is
(38:51):
podcast show number one thousand, four hundred and eighty five,

four million I think it's like fifty thousand impressions on
my YouTube TV channel, which holds all of my shows

Carpet Playlist, interviews with Halle Berry, John Travolta, Quincy Jones
(39:14):
that I get recognized for when I was in Australia.
That was pretty funny, as you say, you know, other
countries they look at what America is doing. And the
fact that I got recognized on Bondai Beach just for
my interview with Halle was pretty funny. But thank you
for all the kind things that you've been saying about
(39:34):
America because I have her in studio today. You may
have seen in my social on Instagram, dot Balance and
she's Belive with Danny Kelly. I was on her show
a couple of weeks ago. I think that's going to
be released sometime soon, but I was actually with her
(40:00):
in her studio. She's known as Daniella Brazila. She's a
Brazilian American media personality, entrepreneur, advocate for immigrant communities. We've
been talking about that before the break. She founded oh
Ya but as the Samba Show, and I would love
to be able to see that, and later launched the
(40:20):
Bee Live with Danny Kelly podcast, spotlighting immigrant stories of resilience.
Certainly I'm not well, I am a technically I'm an
immigrant from Canada. She also runs Christian Studios USA, a
creative hub for media production and cultural exchange. Please welcome
back to my studio, Danny Kelly. Yes, all right, So
(40:55):
did you know when you were a kid that you
were going to be doing this?
Speaker 4 (40:59):
No, when I was a kid, I want to be
the first Bellerine. The whole words I want to be
a ballerina. Well they woke up and then I saw
a beautiful ballerino the TV and I said, that's what
I want to be a ballerina. So from that time
I was four years old. From that time on, I
was on the stage. My mum has no pace anymore
(41:21):
with me. I want to be a dancer. That was
my dream to be a ballerina. Yeah, I was so
I did Glasco ballet about Shoy. We have Russian ballet
in Brazil for the theater Municipal. Since I was eight
until sixteen, and then ballet was my stage, my life,
(41:42):
my breathing. Everything in my life, and jazz everything. I
did everything, everything and the TV, but not podcast, not talking.
I was only about body commissions, dancing techniques at that time,
not talking at all, not talk.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Do you stop?
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I didn't stop.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
I am the first transitions everything in my life. So
I didn't stop to dance. When I came to America,
was still being a dancer. I was a brazil professional dancer.
So I came to America, I said, okay, I'm gonna dance.
So I got an Asian.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
You were still doing somebody. That's the somber that.
Speaker 5 (42:24):
Was the ballerina tying.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
But then when I came to America, I said, everybody's
doing hip hop, jazz, ballet, it's everywhere.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
How about samba?
Speaker 4 (42:36):
So we had a few groups over in La I
was dancing for a few groups. But then suddenly I
did my I quit my own company called Oh Yeah
Brazil Somber Show. That was a huge success. We are
doing shows everywhere. And then I got invited to go
to China. Oh ye, two thousands four. So I arrived
(43:00):
thousand and then the Chinese manager came from China. They
met me here and they invited me to go to
China to do shows in China with my company. So
I was leading us. I was really young over he
recently over here and leading a thirty to.
Speaker 5 (43:20):
Twenty five members.
Speaker 10 (43:23):
I have to hire.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
Members, dancers, musicians, do the choreography. I do the whole
production through here Brazil and China. So I have the
connection US Los Angeles, Brazil and chin. So I had
the show in four years.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
How many years in China?
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Four years back and forth?
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Yeah, so the show, the show performed in China for
four years.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
Four years.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Contract with China because in two thousand and when China.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
Opened the you know, all the gates and that all
the doors for the world to come in, and they
wanted to become like the economy changed now the US
went over there.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
So I was on this transition because the Chinese couldn't
know everybody couldn't get out, so they wanted to bring
the new cultures, the cultures, learned cultures. Look the Brazilians,
we have a lot of people from Africa, we have
a lot of Russians. They all was there, but we
have Americans going over there.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
So it was like companies and talents, no people singing,
dancing and the Chinese. I love them because they were
so nice to us. They are amazing. It was one
of the most wonderful experience was to work in China.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Wow, so it was.
Speaker 11 (44:57):
And doing somebody Yeah, yeah, what cities were you in? Chanzen, Janzen,
Hong Kong, Macau and they.
Speaker 5 (45:08):
Went to also to Shanghai a little bit, and.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
Oh wow, so you were in Shanghai for a little bit,
just a little bit.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
No, not the shows are there, but wants to see it.
My show was based in Chanzen, Macau, Hong Kong. It
was my gateway to go back and forth.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
No, no, no, I don't think I had.
Speaker 5 (45:40):
Later later all the time they have translators. No, no,
I only say Sun.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
That's good, that's.
Speaker 5 (45:54):
Too far, and so names like no I forgot, well you.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
Tried, that's that's very good, very good, very good.
Speaker 5 (46:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
I think it's Here's another Happy Adah challenge hash tag
Gabby learn how to say thank you or how are
you in in a different language this week? Okay, you
get to choose which one it is. So so that's great,
that's great.
Speaker 6 (46:31):
So that is?
Speaker 3 (46:33):
That is what What was the thing that you loved
the most about the Chinese culture.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
At that time, because it was everything was too new.
They have they are very naive, I would say naive
because in the sense that they are learning how to
deal with what's different from them. So they I didn't
see no time, No, anytime, I haven't they. I never
(47:04):
saw any Chinese over there looking as different. They all
embraced the new cultures and they are so curious, you know,
and they are so nice.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
So I have this.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
My experience over there was.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
So amazing because they were warm. They want to be
touching you, and they want to see who you are
because you are so different, but they have not was
not a sense of the at oh you're different to
don't don't come next to me. You're different, but I
(47:42):
want to.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
See who you are how you want.
Speaker 4 (47:45):
They embrace the difference. That's what was amazed at that time.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Yeah, that that's a great point. Uh, And I just
want to highlight that one, uh, for when I do
work in value diversity. If you in America, unfortunately, difference
is not good. So if you're different, it's less than so.
If you walk by a microwave, you smell something you
don't know what is, you don't like it, you say,
(48:13):
who said you know, we need rules for the microwave?
Now who said they could bring this? And it smells terrible?
So difference equals less than right. Bad. I'm not saying
that we should you know, go by and go, oh,
smells so good and pretend that you like it. If
you don't like it, right, difference is not better than right,
(48:36):
but difference instead of avoiding it or being angry with it,
you just go hmm, I don't think I want that,
but I wonder what it is curiosity about what that
difference is. So you just gave a great example of
that it's a positive naivete because they wanted to learn
(49:01):
something new. And when I first went into China, my
father was the first foreign expert invited into China in
nineteen seventy five, so that's the first time the gate
the door opened and I went, and it was so weird,
like I'm Chinese, but I don't look Chinese. You can
ask any Chinese person. They're shocked when I start speaking
Chinese because I don't resemble the Chinese. They would come
(49:24):
and touch my hair, yes, yes, yes, yes yes. And
I was a little chubby at the time, so they would,
you know, squeeze my fat. So it was very it
was interesting. So I know exactly what you're talking about.
And it's that childlike curiosity that is going to make
(49:46):
us come back to who we really are as a country,
you know, to really embrace the differences again, to really
see it is something of value that we can you know, do, do, be,
and have are when we embrace diversity. So thanks for
giving me that. I need to emphasize that.
Speaker 5 (50:08):
So I.
Speaker 4 (50:10):
People who ask me about these questions, and then I think,
I believe it's very important to emphasize things like this.
Speaker 3 (50:17):
Yes, yes, so so tell me what what's gonna happen
to write me the next chapter of your life? What
are you intending to manifest for this next chapter of
Danny Kelly.
Speaker 4 (50:31):
Oh, that is very hard questions because usually I don't
share anything.
Speaker 5 (50:41):
I'm very particular.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yes on my Okay, well, don't tell me too much.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Yeah, I want too much.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
Well, what I can share right now, it is that.
Speaker 5 (50:55):
I wanted to accomplish.
Speaker 4 (50:59):
A projects that I will add value on people's life.
So for me adding value to you, I will be there.
I'm on the stage of my life that I understand
my mission now. It is to connect, communicate and help
(51:22):
like on those collective ways.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
And if I can still pursuing.
Speaker 4 (51:29):
That, I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (51:32):
And if God can give you to give me tools,
right because you need to have tools.
Speaker 4 (51:36):
To still keep doing this. Yes I am. I want
to touch people's lives as much as I can. Like
right now, When'm doing helping people create brands, promote the
the the service people who like my community and we
(52:02):
have a lot of imprint entrepreneurs. Women that they have
a lot of questions and sometimes they don't speak very
good English or they are faith to ask the questions.
Speaker 5 (52:14):
They know how to add to get the answers. So
I want to be the connector and.
Speaker 4 (52:20):
Then if I can help my community or orders. Now
it doesn't have to be only my community, but I
can help anybody's life important a positive way. That's my mission.
Speaker 5 (52:30):
That's what I want to me tend to do, that's all,
and help as much as I can.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
I don't like it, see like it is for me.
Speaker 4 (52:40):
I don't like it to see any kind of injustice,
so I have sometimes hold myself back.
Speaker 5 (52:49):
But yeah, that's what I want to do.
Speaker 4 (52:52):
To talk people's lives and connect, communicate and they show
them the world how beautiful and how amazing they are.
Speaker 3 (53:01):
That's right. Trouble that's great. Yeah, and have fun, yeah,
having have fun. Yeah, this is something I didn't learn
until later. I was very much that American dream, push
push push, Yeah, you know outward professional mastery, you know, awards, money, recognition,
(53:24):
and that doesn't bring happiness, right we think it does.
That's an American dreams run into an American nightmare, as
I call it to be. To feel inside that you
you don't have self sabotage, you don't have a fear
of failure, you don't have a fuir of success.
Speaker 5 (53:46):
You don't.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
You're not hard on yourself. You're not shoulting on yourself.
I should do this, I should do that. That's when mh.
That's personal mastery. Yeah, personal mastery. You have inner peace,
you haveiness eight percent of the time. So I wish
for you that level of happiness. That is your birthright.
(54:09):
And because you're not going to be you're you're a
You're a little bit of a people pleaser. I see
you want to make everybody happy, right I am.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
I have to be careful because I make it then
happy and sometimes they knocking me down, so I have
it to be careful.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Yes, you cannot make anybody happy. Really, Uh, we're taught
that we can. You know, if you love me, you will. Yeah.
So everybody has to take responsibility to make themselves happy.
And so that goes for everyone to make themselves happy.
(54:44):
That is not contingent on somebody else because I don't
like you one day and the next day they won't.
So that's that's a whole liking thing.
Speaker 4 (54:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
I want you to know how carry you are in
the inside, how loving you are on the inside, how
smart and creative you are on the inside, So that
the next time I ask you what do you like
about yourself, You're not going to say, oh, that's hard,
(55:15):
right it is you know who you are at the
core of who you are eighty eight percent of the time,
and it really doesn't matter what other people say, because
that's that African American saying, when there is no enemy within,
no one outside of you can hurt you. Yes, So
(55:36):
that is what I wish for you.
Speaker 4 (55:37):
Thank you so much, doctor.
Speaker 5 (55:39):
I accept it, of.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
Course I leave it. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (55:46):
It's really important to have those kind of words come
from you in the such a hard time of the
world right now we are living that we are so
second to what's going to be happening. But one thing
I that's what I believe that once you know who
you are, this is what the states in my life
(56:07):
right now, I know who I am. Now doesn't matter
what's going on, because when you set to do some mission,
to do something in life, there's they're gonna throw rocks,
stones to see if you're gonna go, you know, knock
you down. So once you said this in your life,
(56:27):
you're gonna have challenge. You're gonna have people telling you,
you know, trying.
Speaker 5 (56:31):
To pick on you.
Speaker 4 (56:32):
Certain things that's not there. They're gonna try to insert
on you. And I was talking to someone like yesterday
and I told them, once you create a narrative about
someone and you spread around, you know, wins who makes
the most convincing.
Speaker 5 (56:51):
Convincing uh narrative?
Speaker 4 (56:54):
So but this we learn, you go learn by step
by step and during life and maturity.
Speaker 5 (57:01):
I believe it. But thank you, I really appreciate.
Speaker 3 (57:05):
Of course. I want to make sure that people know
how to find you before we end here is that
the correct be live, be Live is Denny call.

to dig more from you because everything you're seeing is
so real, you know, and it's just not escolated event

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Know you, yes. And the hippie market. I still have
jewelry from there. I love it.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It was bags.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Did you get the leather bags? Only?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Because I only carry two verses, the summer person the
winter person. Yeah, I lose. I lose things if I
try to change too much. But before we get started
into the chat, I would love to have breakfast with you.
And this is a good life habit that I do
every weekday morning on the show where I take a
bite of my gratitude sandwich with my guest. So what
(05:58):
that consists of top of the bun is things that
we're grateful for outside of ourselves. So we look outside
and say what I'm grateful for and then the bottom
of the bun. We're going to model for people to
do before they go to bed, which is what do
you like inside yourself? So what do you appreciate about yourself?
(06:19):
So those are the two, the top of the bun
and the bottom of the bun. And I do this
every weekday morning with my guests so that we can
start the day in the most positive way. Okay, yes,
so top of the butt. So what are you grateful for?
I'll start. I'm grateful for my morning coffee, which I
(06:43):
absolutely love and it's kind of cute. For my birthday
this year, my best friends gave me this mug. May
the Force be with you because my nickname is Force.
It's okay to be not to be okay, love it
and a get that. So I am grateful for my
coffee and that beautiful taste first thing in the morning,
(07:07):
and my mum. That's two. What are you grateful for?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I'm grateful to be able to get up my bed
and walk. Yes, it's very important when you know the
sensation that you can get up from your back and
walk the first steps. Absolutely, I learned that because.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
I had a secession.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
When I have my son, and then I learned that
everything in your body is so connected. So if you're
not be able to connect to your body with little
cells and nerves, you not be able to do anything.
So I'm grateful to be able.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
To walk, yes, yes, yes, And I'm grateful to be
able to taste. That's a good point. You know, our
five senses, if we have all five of our senses,
were very fortunate. Not everybody has that. Although at the
same time, the most beautiful language. I'm grateful that I
know a little bit of American Sign language, which I
(08:06):
think is the most beautiful. You know, yeah, this is joy, right,
this is life. So I am grateful for American Sign language.
It's so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, it's everything is so important. Sometimes you're so busy
and you don't keep attention in details, the small things,
so small, but it's so important. And then I start
to connect to that point. Yeah that's beautiful, doctor.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah, one more thing that you're grateful for.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I am breal to read because I think, after when
do you go through a lot in your life and
you be able to do it just looks like simple,
but it's so important to read, Like you say, oh
on my podcast, and to be awake off the your surrounds,
(09:00):
because sometimes you go so automatic and then you don't
keep attention to things around you. So be able to
breed and be able to be so all lettle surrounds
and be connected. I'm grateful and because I went to
a lot my life and then all these things is
so important for me, you know, and then so particular
(09:21):
for me, So I value a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, that's great, that's great. One last gratitude for me.
I'm grateful that I you know, I have two beautiful
girls inside and out, Chloe May and so away. We
just had Chloe's birthday and now Sarah's birthday is coming up.
So just the the blessing of children, which you understand,
(09:47):
and the and the super blessing. I was just looking
at this. She wrote this little poem for me, my
little one, my mom's voice. Not today, it's like a
whisper in the wind. Actually maybe it is today. Like
that her eyes shimmer like an elegant rose in the sunlight,
(10:10):
love limitless.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Oh that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I have so beautiful daughters.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
That's amazing. What's her birthday? Birthday?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
What day is that? The birth September thirteenth is the
older one. So she's a virgo. Okay, very dramatic. And
then Sarah's uh nineteenth of October. Oh, right in the
middle of two of them. Yes, she's you have a
good one.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Yeah, there was very particular, very tale.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
They are very yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Tale and Libra is more balanced. And my mom is
a Libra.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
She's the first Wednesday, she's in the.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
First Okay, yeah, her birthday? Is she here in America?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
She lives with me.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh yeah, I met her. What am I talking?
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
She was very lovely. She's a lovely woman. I gave
her the phone to try to take the video and
she looked at me and want yes. I thought she
would be used to it from you because I.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
Think it was her pictures and like loos.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It's so funny. That's the top of the bun. Thanks
for taking a bite. Now. The bottom of the bun
is uh weightlifting or weight training for your soul. A
lot of us understand now how important mental health is.
And every time there's a siren, it's saying that this
(11:40):
is very important. So this is very important. I am
grateful to Oprah, my honorable moniker, for bringing the discussion
about mental health to the forefront. When she came into
mainstream media. At the time, it was only Jerry's I
(12:00):
don't know if you know who Terry's springer was, but
all about the drama of the worst in people. So
she made it okay to talk about mental health. And
that's the good news. The bad news is, I see
a lot of people recognize that something's not right, and
the first thing they do is reach for something to
(12:24):
make them feel better, which may numb them out and
may ask what they're feeling. And they still have that
voice that we talked about on your podcast that criticizes
them all the time. So this exercise, the bottom of
the bond, is to begin or continue to identify what
(12:46):
you like about yourself. What is it about yourself that
you like and can soothe yourself with. So no matter
who insults you, when you go to bed tonight, you're
going to remember what's good about you. There's a siren again,
what is good about you? All right? So I'll start.
(13:09):
I am grateful and appreciate that I am. I'm gonna
I'm going to bring you this show no matter if
I have a voice or not, I am going to uh.
I am committed to my work on the planet uh
uh to be uh for for my happy idea mission
(13:30):
idiot and more happy people in the next eight years.
So I am committed. What do you think about yourself?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I'm a commedia of mys Okay, cool? Cool, because if
you're nice teeth to the things you believe, and how
do you say how who you are and how you
want to perceive them the world you down, yes, no,
(14:00):
no matter what what you can say, try to prove
and once they make creator nahative about you and spread
around and it's really really hard to you know, to
stay there. So resilience for me is very important. Has
(14:23):
been my flag for over years. And be able to
carry myself and then to show who I am and
the things I can do I'm capable to do has
been an amazing journey in my life.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Awesome, Yeah, awesome. And if you've just tuned in, I
see some eyeballs rolling in. You're tuned in to take
my advice, I'm not using it. Yeah, balance with to

is hailing in from Africa. My my supporter. Well, welcoming
(16:34):
you Danny for him in Africa. He's in Rwanda.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Thank you, thank you so much to say hi.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Hi, yes, and what are you? One last appreciation for you?
What do you like about yourself?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
About myself?
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh my god, you know, at this moment in my life,
doctor Marissa, I'm discovering that I have.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
I have been able to touch a lot of talents
that was covered before.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You know when when you started to discover things that
you never thought that you could do in your life,
and then and then you cross the line of the fear.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
And then when you cross the line of the fear,
it's still okay.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Oh I want to do this.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
I want to touch that, I want to check on jeez,
let me ask you a question.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
So right now, at this moment, what I like about
myself is the way I'm carrying, like here, everything that
was bothering in the past, that was picking on me
in the past, I'm able.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Now to live alone, leave on the back and be
able to just walk through all those.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Like you say, the phantoms come in your mind and
then you just knock them down and go through it.
So right now, what I like about me is a
new person that I'm becoming but learning for all these
lessons and also being taught to different people in my life.
It's like here I have the closed door and open
(18:14):
doors to a different world. So I'm not maybe you
know what I mean to say, Like right now, on
this point in my life, what I like about me
is the new me, naw Me, Neil Daniella. You know,
it's just this woman that's becoming. I'm become a different
woman and am allowing me to do. It's scary.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
It's not easy because you was attached to.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Know the little little Daniella, little me. I love myself,
you know. But and then I have my friends say, oh,
I know, he remember when you used to do this.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Today was so much fun, say you know what happened?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I do, but I don't want to that than yell anymore.
He was important for me, but now I love with
just that yellow. So just what I love about me
is I'm embracing myself now a my age, my experience,
my life. I'm embracing myself for who I am, and
(19:17):
I'm accepting who I am right now. That's what's I
love about me. Like today, I dressed up, I don't
make cap hair, have just now the podcast let me
do it. Just It's so powerful when you on the
stage of your life that you like. I'm embracing this
moment I lost.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yes, good, good, Yes, that's why I'm working and ready
to launch a new program called From your Own Worst
Enemy to your number one best Friend. Yes, and I
think this is something that everyone can benefit from loving yourself.
(20:02):
I think you know, life can be so amazing without
that voice or fear, as you said, which stands for
future events already ruined. And you know it's it's it's
meaningless or useless, not useful, useless, but to discover that
(20:25):
is correct. All right, that's it for breakfast. Thanks for
joining us for breakfast. I hope that you join me
every weekday morning. I'm here at nine, I'm listen a
big time and you can free subscribe to my YouTube
TV channel. You'll get an alert every weekday morning to
join me for breakfast at the top of every show,
all week long, every weekday morning. Here on, take my advice.
(20:48):
I'm not using a gift balance with to to mars
of the morning show. Thanks for joining us for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
All right, and now for the topic of the days.
Everything is awesome. The top of the topic of the
day is I love that you did this community podcast
for immigrants, and I wanted to touch on that because
(21:23):
right now Princess is not a good thing right now
with our political climate with uh, you know, all that's
going on. I don't want to talk about politics. We
don't talk about politics here, but we do talk about
solutions to you know, things that aren't going the way
(21:44):
that they used to go or could be going better.
So tell me about the initial you had mentioned to
me when you interviewed me in the green room, your
green room that you used to do podcasts with, you know,
support and success stories of immigrants from Brazil. I travel
(22:05):
from Brazil. So tell me about that.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
My always in my life and now in doing over
here in the US. So I have been living twenty
six years, twenty five years now. I came into thousands
with no English, no no no family. I come with
American dream from Brazil to the US. I landed in
Los Angeles say okay, this is my land. That is
(22:32):
the place I want to be here forever and ever.
But going being an immigrant, a woman, you know, a
woman of color, was no family, no background, was very
hard for me. I went through a lot of we
call in Brazil, pe hangar a lot of hard times
I have. I have great friends that have great family here.
(22:54):
I was lucky to have people support me. But at
the same time, I'm going to other side. I had
people who were really really bad in my life. So
because on that time, twenty years ago, half the internet
wasn't like this. The social media was like that, you know,
the social media was like like open to everyone, we
(23:19):
were more lot. We have a lack of information of
how can you be an immigrant you know over here
and don't fail, don't go through hard times, learn the system,
(23:39):
learn the process, learn the language, learn how you needed
to be a core to the laws in the US.
So because of the lack of experience for information, on
that time, I thought my life that why I why
not me? You know, I should do some thing to
(24:00):
help my community, should do something to help all the
Brazilians or all the immigrants besides being Brazilian or Portuguese
or Portuguese language or anybody else, anyone else. So I
decided to create a podcast because I had many, many,
a lot of friends that they're so super talent and
(24:23):
their musicians, dancers or the artists or they are professionals,
they have no voice they had no voice to talk
about the life or how they they perceive now their
American life, how they succeed, what was their challenge. So
I see a lot of podcasters now and everybody talking.
(24:46):
But many of the stories I don't believe it's real.
Many of the stories that are making fake looks like
you really like you to make likes to make like, oh,
I want to get followers.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
I thought that I know a wonderful community.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I know a lot of people that had a great
life and they went through a lot of hardships. Why
not bring give them a voice? So one day I say, okay,
I will call my friend and say they are musicians.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
They their talent, super talent, but no one knew about
their life.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
No one knew about how.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
They were there, you know.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
And and that's why I asked them, can you do
a live with me? Because I want to talk about immigration.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I want to talk about how.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
We were living in Los Angeles, how we perceive the work.
How can you get booked now? How did you.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Go to school?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Or you're not just a musician musician, you are a
doctor and people need to know your doctor. People need
to know how long you're saying school you know, or
how is your life?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
And everything so works well, and they all they love
to be live with me.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I was doing in the back of my kitchen at
the time, and then the thing now their lives are growing,
and I thought that it was a potential because we
need voice. And then if you don't talk about how
hard it is to be immigrants or how difficult to
be a immigrant, people would not think it's easy to
(26:23):
be here, and it's not easy. We have you face
challenges and we are so resilient to be here. And
then to pursue your American dream, pursue your dream. No one,
no one, no one is here because oh I just
want to be here because it's easy. Not We all know,
(26:46):
you all immigrants know it is not easy to be ammigrants.
It is not easy to be over here. And I
want to be the voice show the beautiful story behind them.
I wan not tell them you have a choice, a
chance not to talk about you. Yes, I have wonder
(27:07):
full stories there. I have goosebumps because my niche is
to connect and give them a voice, is to give
a platform to them say this is who I am,
and I am you know, and I love this country
so much because I want to be here to help
the country. I want to add value. I'm not here
(27:29):
to take it from the country. I'm here to add
the value.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
That's great, and that's what I have a special spot for, Uh,
colorful women because they have to not only say siren again,
that's an important.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Point, very important.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Because you know it's it's overcoming I think in your
culture as well. Uh there's a saying in Chinese and
Japanese the nail that stands up is hammered down. Yeah,
so there's not a lot of incentive for women in
particular to speak out to do something more than just
raise a family. And I'm not saying that that isn't important.
(28:12):
I totally believe in motherhood and I think it's an
amazing gift that we get to do and it's a
full time job. And at the same time to be
able to use our voices, which you're doing, and especially
for those who didn't. I was born in Canada, so
for me, I'm kind of like in that middle ground.
(28:33):
I knew English because being in Canada, So I have
a particular you know, when people say they apologize for
not being able to speak English well, and I stop
them and I say, no, no, no. The fact that
you speak your own what you grew up with language perfectly,
(28:56):
and now you're learning a whole new language and you're trying,
and you're not, you know, afraid to try or not
demanding that everybody learns how to speak your language. That's
a that's something that I would hope that more Americans
would have that view instead of I.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Can't understand you. You know, why do you speak like that?
You know, the whole fact that you know, people make
fun of Asian you know, ring ring ling ling. The
reason why.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Chinese people cannot pronounce certain you know that r L
is because they don't have that connection. There's no word
in the language that requires the tongue and the lips
to do that particular mostly show you don't grow up
with that. Of course you're not going to be able
to say that. So instead of making fun of it,
(29:49):
it'd be great if people go, wow, you know, I
have this joke. It's not that funny. But what do
you call a person that speaks three languages true language? Right? Well,
how about two languages bi linguage, bi lingual? Only one
language American? But okay, so I'm just saying I'm just
(30:15):
taking this time. It's not I'm not making fun of Americans,
but I am asking. This is your hashtag happy eighty
eight challenge. Anytime I give anyone a challenge, by the way,
I want you to. If you want to try this challenge,
just post it and put hashtag happy eighty eight. I'm
gonna look. Every week I'm gonna give people prizes for
(30:38):
meeting the challenge. So today's happy eight challenge is I
want you to befriend someone who has an accent and
not go to them and say where are you from? Right,
I just want you to compliment them and say, you know,
thanks for learning English. That's it, drive by. I compliment
(31:00):
doesn't need to be a big deal. So this shift
from difference is bad and wrong, and go back to
your home, or if you don't like it here, go
back to your country. If I hear that one more time,
I'm gonna lose it. So this our country was founded
on diversity. Uh, you know, it's not a melting pot.
(31:23):
It's a mosaic. You know, we're all beautiful in our
unique and wonderful way. We all don't like my My
analogy is not a melting pot. It's a stew Right. Well,
if you're Brazilian, your carrots are all you know carrots.
I'm a meat or you know, vegan meat or whatever.
(31:46):
And then you know French the potatoes. So we're different
but together, or we cooked together and we have a
beautiful gravy and we have a beautiful meal. Right. You know,
if we don't need to lose our differences, we just
use our differences to add to the richness by your
called America. So there you go, that's.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
What is bitterful.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I explain my American friends usually, like because sometimes I
have American friends and they are lovely, and then I
work with them and then I explain them when you're
in your like, uh, for example, in Brazil, I grow
up watching American movies. I grow up listening to American songs.
(32:31):
I grew up watching commercials that introduces you the American fashion,
the jeans, the tennis shows, you know, all the TV shows.
So it's impossible you don't love America when you're country.
It's impossible you don't want to go to see Disneyland
(32:51):
when you're a country, because we are like all daily
bases are over there sending as information about American life.
American dream. Everything is possible. The movie is the dreaming.
So we all grow up watching those movies. For they can,
(33:12):
they can, they can, my mom, my grandmother? So how
can you not dream about America? So and then I
try to explain them because they most of them, they
don't know what's happening outside of the country. How American
US like they promote American life outside is the massive
(33:36):
promotion because of everything about politics, economy, right.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
And democracy. Everything is around America. So it's impossible. The
whole worlds want.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
To be here.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Everyone would see Hollywood Sign, everyone goes to the stars.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
The whole frame of fame.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
So how so just beer of what I ask to
you know, people who they have to understand why we.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Love to be here for here, Why.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
You want to learn English, why you want to work,
why you want to dress like America, Why you want
to buy levice or niked, because we we have consuming
all this American dreams over nakeds and nakeds and nakeds.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
The fact that we don't speak English without accent. It's
just a detail.

Nobody's harder on me than I am.
Speaker 10 (36:50):
And my response to that is stop it.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Why are you doing that to yourself? You have to
be your biggest fan, because if you can't, at the
end of the day say I did a good job,
who is We don't have.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
To constantly be angry at the things that are wrong.
Why don't we choose to.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Be happy about things that are right.
Speaker 11 (37:11):

that feel good story at the end of the news
hour and stretching it into an entire show. And it
is this week, consecutive week number seven hundred that I

I'm going to give myself some applause. And this is

That was pretty funny, as you say, you know, other
countries they look at what America is doing. And the
fact that I got recognized on Bondai Beach just for
my interview with Halle was pretty funny. But thank you
for all the kind things that you've been saying about
(39:34):
America because I have her in studio today. You may
have seen in my social on Instagram, dot Balance and
she's Belive with Danny Kelly. I was on her show
a couple of weeks ago. I think that's going to
be released sometime soon, but I was actually with her
(40:00):
in her studio. She's known as Daniella Brazila. She's a
Brazilian American media personality, entrepreneur, advocate for immigrant communities. We've
been talking about that before the break. She founded oh
Ya but as the Samba Show, and I would love
to be able to see that, and later launched the
(40:20):
Bee Live with Danny Kelly podcast, spotlighting immigrant stories of resilience.
Certainly I'm not well, I am a technically I'm an
immigrant from Canada. She also runs Christian Studios USA, a
creative hub for media production and cultural exchange. Please welcome
back to my studio, Danny Kelly. Yes, all right, So
(40:55):
did you know when you were a kid that you
were going to be doing this?
Speaker 4 (40:59):
No, when I was a kid, I want to be
the first Bellerine. The whole words I want to be
a ballerina. Well they woke up and then I saw
a beautiful ballerino the TV and I said, that's what
I want to be a ballerina. So from that time
I was four years old. From that time on, I
was on the stage. My mum has no pace anymore
(41:21):
with me. I want to be a dancer. That was
my dream to be a ballerina. Yeah, I was so
I did Glasco ballet about Shoy. We have Russian ballet
in Brazil for the theater Municipal. Since I was eight
until sixteen, and then ballet was my stage, my life,
(41:42):
my breathing. Everything in my life, and jazz everything. I
did everything, everything and the TV, but not podcast, not talking.
I was only about body commissions, dancing techniques at that time,
not talking at all, not talk.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Do you stop?
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I didn't stop.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
I am the first transitions everything in my life. So
I didn't stop to dance. When I came to America,
was still being a dancer. I was a brazil professional dancer.
So I came to America, I said, okay, I'm gonna dance.
So I got an Asian.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
You were still doing somebody. That's the somber that.
Speaker 5 (42:24):
Was the ballerina tying.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
But then when I came to America, I said, everybody's
doing hip hop, jazz, ballet, it's everywhere.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
How about samba?
Speaker 4 (42:36):
So we had a few groups over in La I
was dancing for a few groups. But then suddenly I
did my I quit my own company called Oh Yeah
Brazil Somber Show. That was a huge success. We are
doing shows everywhere. And then I got invited to go
to China. Oh ye, two thousands four. So I arrived
(43:00):
thousand and then the Chinese manager came from China. They
met me here and they invited me to go to
China to do shows in China with my company. So
I was leading us. I was really young over he
recently over here and leading a thirty to.
Speaker 5 (43:20):
Twenty five members.
Speaker 10 (43:23):
I have to hire.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
Members, dancers, musicians, do the choreography. I do the whole
production through here Brazil and China. So I have the
connection US Los Angeles, Brazil and chin. So I had
the show in four years.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
How many years in China?
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Four years back and forth?
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Yeah, so the show, the show performed in China for
four years.
Speaker 5 (43:52):
Four years.
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
Contract with China because in two thousand and when China.
Speaker 6 (44:00):
Opened the you know, all the gates and that all
the doors for the world to come in, and they
wanted to become like the economy changed now the US
went over there.
Speaker 4 (44:14):
So I was on this transition because the Chinese couldn't
know everybody couldn't get out, so they wanted to bring
the new cultures, the cultures, learned cultures. Look the Brazilians,
we have a lot of people from Africa, we have
a lot of Russians. They all was there, but we
have Americans going over there.
Speaker 5 (44:35):
So it was like companies and talents, no people singing,
dancing and the Chinese. I love them because they were
so nice to us. They are amazing. It was one
of the most wonderful experience was to work in China.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
Wow, so it was.
Speaker 11 (44:57):
And doing somebody Yeah, yeah, what cities were you in? Chanzen, Janzen,
Hong Kong, Macau and they.
Speaker 5 (45:08):
Went to also to Shanghai a little bit, and.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
Oh wow, so you were in Shanghai for a little bit,
just a little bit.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
No, not the shows are there, but wants to see it.
My show was based in Chanzen, Macau, Hong Kong. It
was my gateway to go back and forth.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
No, no, no, I don't think I had.
Speaker 5 (45:40):
Later later all the time they have translators. No, no,
I only say Sun.
Speaker 3 (45:51):
That's good, that's.
Speaker 5 (45:54):
Too far, and so names like no I forgot, well you.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
Tried, that's that's very good, very good, very good.
Speaker 5 (46:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
I think it's Here's another Happy Adah challenge hash tag
Gabby learn how to say thank you or how are
you in in a different language this week? Okay, you
get to choose which one it is. So so that's great,
that's great.
Speaker 6 (46:31):
So that is?
Speaker 3 (46:33):
That is what What was the thing that you loved
the most about the Chinese culture.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
At that time, because it was everything was too new.
They have they are very naive, I would say naive
because in the sense that they are learning how to
deal with what's different from them. So they I didn't
see no time, No, anytime, I haven't they. I never
(47:04):
saw any Chinese over there looking as different. They all
embraced the new cultures and they are so curious, you know,
and they are so nice.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
So I have this.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
My experience over there was.
Speaker 4 (47:22):
So amazing because they were warm. They want to be
touching you, and they want to see who you are
because you are so different, but they have not was
not a sense of the at oh you're different to
don't don't come next to me. You're different, but I
(47:42):
want to.
Speaker 3 (47:43):
See who you are how you want.
Speaker 4 (47:45):
They embrace the difference. That's what was amazed at that time.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
Yeah, that that's a great point. Uh, And I just
want to highlight that one, uh, for when I do
work in value diversity. If you in America, unfortunately, difference
is not good. So if you're different, it's less than so.
If you walk by a microwave, you smell something you
don't know what is, you don't like it, you say,
(48:13):
who said you know, we need rules for the microwave?
Now who said they could bring this? And it smells terrible?
So difference equals less than right. Bad. I'm not saying
that we should you know, go by and go, oh,
smells so good and pretend that you like it. If
you don't like it, right, difference is not better than right,
(48:36):
but difference instead of avoiding it or being angry with it,
you just go hmm, I don't think I want that,
but I wonder what it is curiosity about what that
difference is. So you just gave a great example of
that it's a positive naivete because they wanted to learn
(49:01):
something new. And when I first went into China, my
father was the first foreign expert invited into China in
nineteen seventy five, so that's the first time the gate
the door opened and I went, and it was so weird,
like I'm Chinese, but I don't look Chinese. You can
ask any Chinese person. They're shocked when I start speaking
Chinese because I don't resemble the Chinese. They would come
(49:24):
and touch my hair, yes, yes, yes, yes yes. And
I was a little chubby at the time, so they would,
you know, squeeze my fat. So it was very it
was interesting. So I know exactly what you're talking about.
And it's that childlike curiosity that is going to make
(49:46):
us come back to who we really are as a country,
you know, to really embrace the differences again, to really
see it is something of value that we can you know, do, do, be,
and have are when we embrace diversity. So thanks for
giving me that. I need to emphasize that.
Speaker 5 (50:08):
So I.
Speaker 4 (50:10):
People who ask me about these questions, and then I think,
I believe it's very important to emphasize things like this.
Speaker 3 (50:17):
Yes, yes, so so tell me what what's gonna happen
to write me the next chapter of your life? What
are you intending to manifest for this next chapter of
Danny Kelly.
Speaker 4 (50:31):
Oh, that is very hard questions because usually I don't
share anything.
Speaker 5 (50:41):
I'm very particular.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yes on my Okay, well, don't tell me too much.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
Yeah, I want too much.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
Well, what I can share right now, it is that.
Speaker 5 (50:55):
I wanted to accomplish.
Speaker 4 (50:59):
A projects that I will add value on people's life.
So for me adding value to you, I will be there.
I'm on the stage of my life that I understand
my mission now. It is to connect, communicate and help
(51:22):
like on those collective ways.
Speaker 5 (51:27):
And if I can still pursuing.
Speaker 4 (51:29):
That, I'm happy.
Speaker 5 (51:32):
And if God can give you to give me tools,
right because you need to have tools.
Speaker 4 (51:36):
To still keep doing this. Yes I am. I want
to touch people's lives as much as I can. Like
right now, When'm doing helping people create brands, promote the
the the service people who like my community and we
(52:02):
have a lot of imprint entrepreneurs. Women that they have
a lot of questions and sometimes they don't speak very
good English or they are faith to ask the questions.
Speaker 5 (52:14):
They know how to add to get the answers. So
I want to be the connector and.
Speaker 4 (52:20):
Then if I can help my community or orders. Now
it doesn't have to be only my community, but I
can help anybody's life important a positive way. That's my mission.
Speaker 5 (52:30):
That's what I want to me tend to do, that's all,
and help as much as I can.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
I don't like it, see like it is for me.
Speaker 4 (52:40):
I don't like it to see any kind of injustice,
so I have sometimes hold myself back.
Speaker 5 (52:49):
But yeah, that's what I want to do.
Speaker 4 (52:52):
To talk people's lives and connect, communicate and they show
them the world how beautiful and how amazing they are.
Speaker 3 (53:01):
That's right. Trouble that's great. Yeah, and have fun, yeah,
having have fun. Yeah, this is something I didn't learn
until later. I was very much that American dream, push
push push, Yeah, you know outward professional mastery, you know, awards, money, recognition,
(53:24):
and that doesn't bring happiness, right we think it does.
That's an American dreams run into an American nightmare, as
I call it to be. To feel inside that you
you don't have self sabotage, you don't have a fear
of failure, you don't have a fuir of success.
Speaker 5 (53:46):
You don't.
Speaker 3 (53:46):
You're not hard on yourself. You're not shoulting on yourself.
I should do this, I should do that. That's when mh.
That's personal mastery. Yeah, personal mastery. You have inner peace,
you haveiness eight percent of the time. So I wish
for you that level of happiness. That is your birthright.
(54:09):
And because you're not going to be you're you're a
You're a little bit of a people pleaser. I see
you want to make everybody happy, right I am.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
I have to be careful because I make it then
happy and sometimes they knocking me down, so I have
it to be careful.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Yes, you cannot make anybody happy. Really, Uh, we're taught
that we can. You know, if you love me, you will. Yeah.
So everybody has to take responsibility to make themselves happy.
And so that goes for everyone to make themselves happy.
(54:44):
That is not contingent on somebody else because I don't
like you one day and the next day they won't.
So that's that's a whole liking thing.
Speaker 4 (54:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
I want you to know how carry you are in
the inside, how loving you are on the inside, how
smart and creative you are on the inside, So that
the next time I ask you what do you like
about yourself, You're not going to say, oh, that's hard,
(55:15):
right it is you know who you are at the
core of who you are eighty eight percent of the time,
and it really doesn't matter what other people say, because
that's that African American saying, when there is no enemy within,
no one outside of you can hurt you. Yes, So
(55:36):
that is what I wish for you.
Speaker 4 (55:37):
Thank you so much, doctor.
Speaker 5 (55:39):
I accept it, of.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
Course I leave it. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (55:46):
It's really important to have those kind of words come
from you in the such a hard time of the
world right now we are living that we are so
second to what's going to be happening. But one thing
I that's what I believe that once you know who
you are, this is what the states in my life
(56:07):
right now, I know who I am. Now doesn't matter
what's going on, because when you set to do some mission,
to do something in life, there's they're gonna throw rocks,
stones to see if you're gonna go, you know, knock
you down. So once you said this in your life,
(56:27):
you're gonna have challenge. You're gonna have people telling you,
you know, trying.
Speaker 5 (56:31):
To pick on you.
Speaker 4 (56:32):
Certain things that's not there. They're gonna try to insert
on you. And I was talking to someone like yesterday
and I told them, once you create a narrative about
someone and you spread around, you know, wins who makes
the most convincing.
Speaker 5 (56:51):
Convincing uh narrative?
Speaker 4 (56:54):
So but this we learn, you go learn by step
by step and during life and maturity.
Speaker 5 (57:01):
I believe it. But thank you, I really appreciate.
Speaker 3 (57:05):
Of course. I want to make sure that people know
how to find you before we end here is that
the correct be live, be Live is Denny call.

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