This. 25 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,440 Is right. So your brand all love. Let's talk about that. Let's go into that. 26 00:01:32,470 --> 00:01:36,720 What was the concept and idea that you had when you 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,640 initiated and started this brand? 28 00:01:39,750 --> 00:01:44,560 Okay. So, uh, when I first started the brand, it was in 2016. 29 00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:49,080 Okay. And it was just after coming back from Costa Rica, 30 00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:54,160 I had, um, I was there for six months. Mm. Um, no cell phone, 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,880 no computer, no technology, just me nature. 32 00:01:57,340 --> 00:02:01,360 And it was a first time that I had truly cultivated 33 00:02:02,190 --> 00:02:06,400 self love for myself in a real way. Okay. Um, 34 00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:10,440 and it's a whole long backstory on how I got there. Just, 35 00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:14,920 I just ended a tumultuous relationship where I had like, really just, 36 00:02:15,130 --> 00:02:17,920 um, like lost my own power. Like, you know, you just, 37 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,120 in a situation you're giving so much of yourself, your compromising, 38 00:02:21,470 --> 00:02:26,000 I didn't have strong boundaries. It was just the whole opposite of self love. 39 00:02:26,810 --> 00:02:28,600 Um, and so, 40 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:34,480 but it was necessary because that experience like ripped me apart to the, 41 00:02:34,650 --> 00:02:38,200 to the point that it sought me, I seeking myself. 42 00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:42,520 And so that's when I went on that journey, um, 43 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:45,520 and actually ended up on that journey. Didn't know what, 44 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,200 that it was gonna unfold as, um, 45 00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:53,520 but make a long story short. I, when I came back, I made the very first shirt. 46 00:02:53,730 --> 00:02:54,520 Um, for me, 47 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,680 it was just my reminder to myself to stay grounded and all the love that I had 48 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,960 given to myself and cultivated mm-hmm cause a lot of times when we 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,440 go to retreats, we go to workshops, we get the information we up, we, you know, 50 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,160 we amped up, we fired up, 51 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,080 but then we get back in our same environment around the same people who might 52 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,880 not have gone through the transformational experiences, 53 00:03:14,930 --> 00:03:17,240 or it might not have gotten the information. We got people. 54 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:17,920 Places and things. 55 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:18,960 People, places and things. 56 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,920 And so we slowly get back to those old parts of ourselves. Absolutely. 57 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,160 That we were letting go, we creatures a habit. 58 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,440 And so I wanted something tangible to keep me grounded in that. 59 00:03:28,450 --> 00:03:29,840 So the first shirt was just for me. 60 00:03:30,740 --> 00:03:35,640 And what happened was I did notice a subtle difference whenever 61 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,360 I wore my shirt. I really felt that reminder. And I guess, what was. 62 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,880 That intention, uh, reaction when they seen the show? 63 00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:46,080 Um, people liked it. Yeah. Okay. People liked it, but it, 64 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,400 it wasn't people liking it that made me first go into, like, 65 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,400 I'm gonna make these for more than myself. People actually did like, um, 66 00:03:53,740 --> 00:03:57,760 the shirts and I would get compliments or even people like self love what's that 67 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,160 like, it could have been either way. Some people, you know, perversion thinking. 68 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,120 Yeah. Self ING. And uh. 69 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,160 I never thought it like that. I had people that, you know. 70 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,160 Yeah. Men of course that was like, oh. 71 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,080 Self love. But you know, now 2016, I knew about self love cuz you. 72 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,520 But it's way more on the forefront. Like it's a. 73 00:04:16,630 --> 00:04:20,960 Like today. Yeah. Today it's like pavilion for everybody. 74 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,920 So I could see someone in 2016 saying self love. Yeah. But. 75 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,753 Yeah, we were, 76 00:04:27,090 --> 00:04:32,040 we were like at the beginning of the self love revolution like that, I, 77 00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:35,680 I would like to say maybe even a pioneer and it's always been around, 78 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,440 but just like giving, like putting the word on the forefront and. 79 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,070 Bring. 80 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:43,360 Mainstream. Yeah. So, um, 81 00:04:44,350 --> 00:04:45,400 I then came. 82 00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:49,600 Ooh, Ooh. It's you going? No, I think. 83 00:04:49,630 --> 00:04:54,520 Came, I then came across, um, professor Emoto. 84 00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:56,760 Okay. I don't know. You familiar with him? 85 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,840 No, you're gonna have to explain. 86 00:04:58,130 --> 00:05:01,320 So professor Emoto, he's a Japanese physicist. Okay. 87 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,000 And he's known for his water studies. Mm. 88 00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:07,200 So he studied the power of intention, 89 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,440 vibration energy on water. Um, he also, 90 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,880 these experiments have been done with rice and, um, plants as well. 91 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,480 But the water one was for me where I had the aha moment. Um, 92 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,360 what he did was he took two jars of water. 93 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,800 Mm-hmm he labeled one with the word love. 94 00:05:22,940 --> 00:05:24,360 And one with the word hate, 95 00:05:24,930 --> 00:05:29,640 he froze the jars of water and then observed the crystal informations under a 96 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,600 microscope. The jar that had the word love was completely symmetrical, 97 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:35,320 sacred geometry. Yeah. 98 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520 The jar with the word hate was very chaotic and very little symmetry. 99 00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:42,600 And for me that was a aha moment because I used to be a personal trainer, 100 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,240 a nutritionist. I know a lot about the body and I know that we're, you know, 101 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,240 75 to 85% water mm-hmm so I'm like, okay, 102 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,880 well if just taping the word on the jar of water had that 103 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,960 impact, then that's why the self love, when I wear that shirt, 104 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,080 I'm feeling it I'm pro I'm literally programming the crystal line essence of who 105 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,120 I am water with the self love and that remembrance. So I was like, wow, 106 00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:09,040 intentional apparel. Like this is a thing. 107 00:06:09,740 --> 00:06:13,000 And so our shirts are like the stickers on our jars of water. 108 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:16,960 Yeah. That's what, and speaking of, of water, you gave me. 109 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,360 I segue. 110 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,320 Into that. You gave me a jar. Um, I did, um, about two days ago, 111 00:06:22,910 --> 00:06:27,440 I drank it within maybe I wanna say the first two hours. Um, 112 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,160 very good water. And you just brought me another jar. I did right. 113 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,640 Tell people where that water comes from and why. 114 00:06:36,010 --> 00:06:38,400 Um, that water is very important. 115 00:06:38,590 --> 00:06:42,800 Okay. So this water I literally, so I just got to Atlanta about, uh, 116 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,960 a month ago at this now coming from Kauai mm-hmm . Um, 117 00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:51,120 and I literally, as all things happen, 118 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,880 synchronistically got it to this company called alive waters. 119 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,200 Mm-hmm and they get water from the Springs and they deliver it to 120 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,720 you. But it's only in California, in Texas. So once I saw it, wasn't here, 121 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,560 they have a spring locator. And I was like, well, let me see. 122 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,240 What's in Georgia and low and behold, there's one an hour away. 123 00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:14,880 This is Indian Springs, which is one of the, 124 00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:19,680 the top natural Springs in the world. Mm it's. 125 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,600 Right here in Georgia. And since I've been, since I went, 126 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,120 I've been asking people who live here and they had never even heard of it. Yeah. 127 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,400 And it's right here in your. 128 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,720 Own. Well, they heard about it now. 129 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,880 They, yes. Indian Springs, you go, it's $5 to park. The water is free. 130 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,960 You can care. You can bring as many gallons as you want to fill up. Um, 131 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,040 it's one of only two, if I'm not mistaken, 132 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,320 if anybody knows more than me, feel free to comment, you know, on, 133 00:07:44,370 --> 00:07:47,120 on comments. But from what I research, 134 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,400 it's only one of two Springs in the us that has sulfur naturally occurring in 135 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,480 the water mm-hmm , which is really good for our bodies. 136 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,760 You can definitely for the, um, for the skin. 137 00:07:57,930 --> 00:08:02,680 So if you have psoriasis eczema, any type of, um, skin conditions, 138 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,560 but it's also good for the thyroid. Okay. Um, sulfur, the mineral that we need. 139 00:08:07,010 --> 00:08:11,600 Um, but it's the bomb. It has, it is been around for a couple hundreds of years. 140 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,520 Oh yes. Yeah. And it's known for its medicinal healing properties. Oh wow. 141 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,160 And I can attest to it. So I heard that. Right. And so I was like, all right, 142 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,160 well, I'm gonna test it out. So I did, 143 00:08:21,450 --> 00:08:24,440 my intention was to do a five day water fast mm-hmm just drinking 144 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,880 the water from Indian Springs. 145 00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:30,040 I felt so good that I ended up going eight days. Wow. 146 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,760 Eight days just on this water. Um, 147 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,400 and I can definitely say my mental clarity, my energy levels, 148 00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:40,680 my even like my skin, definitely. I would, I couldn't even sleep at night. 149 00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:41,080 Would. 150 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,640 You seen with a lot of downloads? 151 00:08:42,750 --> 00:08:43,880 Lots of downloads. 152 00:08:43,910 --> 00:08:47,000 I got a whole notebook that I filled up just in these eight days. Wow. 153 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Mm-hmm now you said that it is heavy, 154 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,320 like when we was talking and, and you gave me the bottle, 155 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,680 you said it was heavy and rich, like in sofa, right? Yes. 156 00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:59,600 And so is ain't sofa? Not too good for you? 157 00:09:00,070 --> 00:09:02,320 Well, I'm not a chemist or scientist. 158 00:09:02,370 --> 00:09:07,080 So I think from what sofa don't and the trace 159 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,600 amounts that we need it's in our body. Its. 160 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,280 Actually caring. I don't think it's that. It's not too good for you, 161 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,200 but the smell. 162 00:09:13,570 --> 00:09:15,680 No, the smell it smell like right eggs. 163 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,560 When you first get it the first two days you actually have to let it sit. 164 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,720 Settle, settle. And then you, you can drink it, put some, um, 165 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640 mint in there for me, some peppermint. 166 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,000 Oil and. 167 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,280 That kind of, yeah, that was, that was on. How did you feel after you the water? 168 00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:31,560 I felt different. It, it definitely, well, 169 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:33,440 I'm not gonna say I really felt different, 170 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,920 but I knew that this was probably like the best water that I tasted. 171 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,560 You know what I mean? You can taste the difference. Yeah. 172 00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:42,520 You can definitely taste the difference. Um, you know, 173 00:09:42,570 --> 00:09:45,600 it even taste better than Aqualine water, you know? 174 00:09:45,730 --> 00:09:49,800 So Aqualine was always the go-to water for me, but I'm like this right here. 175 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,280 This is something different. Same. 176 00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:54,720 I used to be big on Centia but you know, used spending 20, 177 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,080 $30 a case and I drink four bottles of water at least a day.

I want you to, 199 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:13,063 um, 200 00:11:13,230 --> 00:11:18,140 explain more about your brand self love and 201 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,460 how can one acquire self love. You told us how it happened for you, 202 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,220 but for other people that may be going through, um, 203 00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:30,300 trying times mm-hmm how could they acquire self love and connect 204 00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:31,140 that with the brand? 205 00:11:31,490 --> 00:11:35,660 Okay. Well definitely. Um, well first of all, 206 00:11:35,770 --> 00:11:39,700 self love is, um, it's a journey. Mm-hmm, 207 00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:44,260 it's not a destination. It's not like there's a self love toolkit, 208 00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:48,300 a self love to-do list. You check these things off and boom, I got self love. 209 00:11:48,410 --> 00:11:53,320 It's a day by day thing. Even for me, as long as I've been, you know, 210 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,400 intentionally cultivating self love there's days where I still wake up and I'm 211 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,720 having a bad day, but I just have to pull my tool out my toolbox to like, 212 00:12:02,220 --> 00:12:06,880 you know, realign my vibrations. Um, but I think it really starts with, 213 00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:11,320 uh, going within, um, in a world full of distractions. 214 00:12:11,660 --> 00:12:12,160 You know, 215 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,080 everything is pulling us to seek outside of ourself and really everything we 216 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,400 need is already within ourselves, but how do we get there? 217 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,600 And so that's what the tools, the self love tools that I share, 218 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,320 that's where the breathing, um, the meditation comes in, affirmation, 219 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,240 the affirmations, the journaling, um, the mindset development. 220 00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:33,760 And even also in taking care of our bodies, you know, 221 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,320 that's a big part of self love. 222 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,960 And especially in today's days and time between COVID and viruses 223 00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:41,200 and even, you know, 224 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,160 entrepreneurs running 3, 4, 5 businesses and activists 225 00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:49,280 here and there, we, we still have to take care of ourselves, 226 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,640 cuz this is our biggest real estate. This is where our soul actually dwells. 227 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,120 And if we're not healthy, I'm my boy, spouse P they got the juice bar. 228 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,440 Mm-hmm out in, um, in Brooklyn I believe. And he said it best. 229 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,440 He said, this is your biggest piece of real estate. Yeah. 230 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,640 Like you can, uh, you can have $0 in your bank account, 231 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,680 but if you got your health, 232 00:13:12,180 --> 00:13:16,040 you can do more than a man with 2 million in the bank account. Absolutely. 233 00:13:16,270 --> 00:13:17,200 That doesn't happen. 234 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,160 Your health health is your wealth. 235 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,320 So your health is your wealth. 236 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,800 And that's a big part of our self love and it's integrative mind, body, soul, 237 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,240 spirit. Um, 238 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,240 and so it's taking time to nourish each one of aspects of those and bringing 239 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,120 them into balance. So you said, how could someone do that? Yeah. 240 00:13:34,530 --> 00:13:37,680 Um, there are many different ways. I, I, you know, 241 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,360 can only say the tools that work for me are the things that I like to share. 242 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,120 I can't speak on anything that I don't do. Mm-hmm um, 243 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,720 but what I do, you know, I start my mornings before I even wake up. 244 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,600 I don't go to my cell phone. I don't let anything ruin my day. 245 00:13:50,790 --> 00:13:53,800 I take at least the first 10 minutes to just breathe, 246 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,360 visualize how I want my day going and giving gratitude before my feet even hit 247 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,360 the floor. I've already given gratitude for at least 11 things. 248 00:14:02,430 --> 00:14:05,760 Waking up that in itself, gratitude is the highest vibration. 249 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,760 So you start off with that. Yeah. 250 00:14:08,020 --> 00:14:11,480 I'm gonna stop you right there. Cuz I, while you saying this, right. 251 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,360 I'm saying to myself, I'm the totally opposite of that. Like my, 252 00:14:16,410 --> 00:14:20,280 my cell phone is literally right there. Right. So when I roll over, 253 00:14:20,430 --> 00:14:23,720 I would see who text me, how many calls I missed. 254 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,400 And then I start checking my bank accounts. I start checking Coinbase, 255 00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:32,080 see what the market looking like. And um, what, what, 256 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,080 what I used to do though, I used to like sit there, you know, 257 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,640 laying in bed and plan my day out in my head, you know, plan it out. 258 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,400 Like that's, I'm gonna do this, this and, and like, you know, 259 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,880 take a mental todo list. Mm-hmm , you know, but, um, 260 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,760 lately I've just been so busy. Like I haven't been doing it. 261 00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:58,160 One of my mentors used to say, um, if you too busy to meditate, 262 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,280 that means you need to meditate. Mm . Because just, you know, 263 00:15:02,290 --> 00:15:05,960 there's nothing wrong with being, um, busy and having a lot to do, 264 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,800 but we still have to prioritize ourselves. 265 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,470 Oh yeah, absolutely. 266 00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:10,640 Absolutely. And it doesn't take all, 267 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,800 it's not like we need to sit and meditate for three hours a day, 10, 10 minutes, 268 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:14,680 first, 10 minutes. 269 00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:19,520 But even that's just like setting the precedence of I'm first I'm coming first. 270 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,680 My health, my wellbeing, my mental health is coming first. 271 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,280 And then I can check my bank account. I can check. Yeah. You know, 272 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,200 my text messages. I still have to do all that. 273 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,760 I gotta check my coin based and do, 274 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,080 but I just like set my intentions first and then start out with gratitude 275 00:15:34,430 --> 00:15:38,120 that way, no matter, you know, just in case. So look at my bank account. 276 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:38,680 No . 277 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,513 Yeah. 278 00:15:40,110 --> 00:15:43,480 Well I'm still grateful that I am happy that, that I'm alive. 279 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,680 That I'm breathing. That I woke up with an alert mine. I can still create, 280 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,240 thank you for my family, you know? And just all, whatever, 281 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,880 the things that you are grateful. 282 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,960 For. So meditation, um, 283 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,560 breathing is breathing is a big part of it. Right? A. 284 00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,190 Huge. 285 00:15:59,190 --> 00:16:02,080 Part of it. So, so let's talk about the breathing aspect of it. 286 00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:06,800 The breathing aspect is so crazy because before I started 287 00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:11,480 like really understanding the power of the breath is something that we just take 288 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,240 for granted. Yeah. It's right here with us all the time. Our breath. It never, 289 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,160 it's what we, it, it is like, 290 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,800 how often do you think about how consciously you're breathing? 291 00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:23,480 Not often at. 292 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,240 All, and we're not even taught about it. And this is some, 293 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,280 this is what gives us life with no breath. There's no life, you stop breathing. 294 00:16:30,510 --> 00:16:33,000 Your brain starts dying.

Um, 416 00:23:02,050 --> 00:23:05,850 especially in society today. Cause so, so, 417 00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:09,210 so many things is happening. You know, we can get mad, 418 00:23:09,370 --> 00:23:13,210 we can go from zero to 60. So quick, you know, driving, 419 00:23:13,210 --> 00:23:17,810 you get road rage.

So this is the, 427 00:23:39,010 --> 00:23:42,170 what would love do bracelet? Ooh. Um, which is a remix of the, 428 00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:45,050 what would Jesus do bracelet mm-hmm you know, that we grew up on, 429 00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:48,880 but in my travels around the world, I realize not everyone learns about Jesus. 430 00:23:48,990 --> 00:23:53,120 Yeah. But God is love and it's the highest vibration. And so, 431 00:23:54,050 --> 00:23:58,080 um, I give this out with the intention as a reminder. So whenever, 432 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,440 especially for me, I made it for me first and I was like, 433 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,320 I gotta share this when I'm angry or when I'm torn in a big decision, 434 00:24:04,590 --> 00:24:05,480 I pause. 435 00:24:07,130 --> 00:24:07,963 Breathe. 436 00:24:08,210 --> 00:24:11,520 Breathe, take a deep breath. And especially when I'm mad, 437 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,840 I go through three questions. Do I have to be right? 438 00:24:14,610 --> 00:24:19,080 Do I need to prove this point? Do I have to have the last word? You know? 439 00:24:19,140 --> 00:24:22,640 And normally just me breathing and asking myself those questions. Yeah. 440 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,400 That's crazy. I diffuse the situation when. 441 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,040 I used to get mad, I used to ask myself like really two questions, 442 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,240 but the name, the number one question. Do I got bail money? 443 00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:36,200 I'm not gonna lie. I used to be like. 444 00:24:36,770 --> 00:24:39,880 Do I bail? But you still made a conscious. 445 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,440 Choice. Do I got bail money? You know what I mean? But you know, now like my, 446 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,120 my, my older brother that transitioned, right. He would, um, 447 00:24:49,930 --> 00:24:50,520 he like, 448 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,040 he would like really talk me off the edge of doing certain things and stuff like 449 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,120 that. Like harming people or he'd just be like, you know, 450 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,480 he'll say something to me. Like my, he messing not right. Don't do that. And I, 451 00:25:00,580 --> 00:25:03,120 and nine times I 10 I'll listen to him. Right. 452 00:25:03,810 --> 00:25:08,760 So now when I get in situations, I'd be like, how would Joe handle this? 453 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,440 That, that, that was what my brother's name was. And I'd be like, 454 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,600 how would Joe handle this? Sometimes I listen to myself. 455 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,080 Sometimes I don't cause my brother, he was just like, 456 00:25:17,730 --> 00:25:21,320 he wasn't gonna harm a fly. He forgives and forget everybody. 457 00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:24,800 And I just ain't doing that.

Which is huge. 532 00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:47,133 But yeah. 533 00:29:47,610 --> 00:29:50,560 Um, so we're gonna be of course, growing our own land, 534 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,040 starting our own community and having it available for retreats. 535 00:29:54,110 --> 00:29:57,960 Mm-hmm um, so, um, and just the, 536 00:29:57,980 --> 00:29:59,880 our dollar goes so much further over. 537 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,040 There. Now let me ask you something. Do you have dual citizenship? 538 00:30:03,140 --> 00:30:04,480 Not yet. Nope. No. 539 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,920 I don't. And it was easy to, um, 540 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,760 purchase land without being a part of, um, 541 00:30:10,870 --> 00:30:13,480 a tribe or having citizenship over there. 542 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,440 Typically. No, it's not easy. So I will say that. Yeah. Um, 543 00:30:18,460 --> 00:30:23,320 but it was divinely orchestrated that I ended up connecting with the, 544 00:30:23,610 --> 00:30:26,480 my partner he's tan in. And so if you, 545 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,480 you do have to do a partnership, a corporation with a local. 546 00:30:30,910 --> 00:30:32,600 Okay. Like. 547 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,840 That. Yeah. Nothing wrong with that. 548 00:30:33,970 --> 00:30:35,280 Include them in. You. 549 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,880 Gotta, why not? Like, I feel like that's the way it should be. 550 00:30:37,970 --> 00:30:39,920 Imagine who did that over here. 551 00:30:41,020 --> 00:30:43,240 Lot of people would be out of business right now. 552 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,000 You had to come to us in order to, uh, and we. 553 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,280 Would all have to break bread yeah. In order to yeah. 554 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,000 And I feel like that's the way it should be. Yeah. But yeah. So it's, it's not, 555 00:30:52,020 --> 00:30:56,360 I'm not gonna say it is hard, you know what I mean? But it is protocol. 556 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,400 Like you do have to have a partner form a corporation. Um, but those things can, 557 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,320 can be done. 558 00:31:01,330 --> 00:31:06,000 So 33 acres of land, 35, the game changer. Yeah. 559 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,680 That's a game. 560 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:11,120 Changer. So I want you to tell us how important is it to own land, 561 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,960 land ownership for black people. 562 00:31:13,790 --> 00:31:14,240 I mean, 563 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,640 it's one of the most important things we can be doing because when we own our 564 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,040 own land, we can control our own narrative through and through from the food, 565 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,480 what we're putting into our bodies. 566 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,960 Mm-hmm so how we're growing our food, um, 567 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,440 because what do you really need as a human on the planet earth? 568 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:34,400 What do you really need? Food, water, air, you know, shelter and the sun. 569 00:31:34,420 --> 00:31:37,680 You need the sun. Yeah. Sunshine and the air quality, 570 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,120 which also we don't oftentimes consider, 571 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,600 but the air quality over there is superb. 572 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,840 Mm-hmm especially up in the mountains. Um, but having, 573 00:31:48,870 --> 00:31:53,320 when you have your own land, you, you literally get to, like I said, 574 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,080 create your own narrative. You can feed yourself. You can grow your own herbs. 575 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,040 You can heal yourself. You don't need doctors. You know what I mean? 576 00:32:00,220 --> 00:32:04,440 Cuz most of the modern medicine pharmaceuticals come from herbs anyway. 577 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,880 Absolutely. Um, you can even cloth yourself, you can grow your own hemp. 578 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,120 You can grow your own cotton if need be. 579 00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:12,110 Own cannabis. 580 00:32:12,110 --> 00:32:14,040 Your own cannabis. That's. 581 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:14,360 A. 582 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,080 Medicine, which is a medicine. Yes. And it, 583 00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:22,120 and even you can use hemp to make clothes and even to make 584 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,320 different types of roofs. When I was over there, I saw, um, at, 585 00:32:26,410 --> 00:32:29,800 we went to the villages. They literally, it was no home Depot. 586 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,440 They're building their own whole communities. 587 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,840 They make their own bricks outta mud stack. 'em up put fires underneath them. 588 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,960 And these structures are lasting 15, 20, 30 years. 589 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,720 Oh yeah, absolutely. 590 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,080 Absolutely. And making their own roof like, and everything comes from nature. 591 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,560 I'd say someone make a house outta hemp. I was like, wow. 592 00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:54,000 And then I was looking, doing some research, right? Hemp farms. 593 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,720 You can make a lot of money. There's actually a organization right now. 594 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,120 That's out there that I don't wanna misconstrue the numbers, 595 00:33:02,220 --> 00:33:06,680 but it was a nice size number for them to utilize your land. 596 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,440 Like for, they have, they'll pay you yeah. To, to grow a he on your land. 597 00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:15,120 And I forget what it was for like one acre. It was, 598 00:33:15,150 --> 00:33:18,960 I know it was a amount where I was like, oh, that's some nice money right there. 599 00:33:19,540 --> 00:33:21,960 You know? So, um, yeah. Yeah. 600 00:33:22,220 --> 00:33:23,520 And especially a while ago, 601 00:33:23,910 --> 00:33:27,400 I think that's kind of shifting cuz a lot of people got into hemp production. 602 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120 Mm-hmm so it's not as lucrative, but yeah, 603 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,560 only your own land and only your own food that's because that's one of the 604 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,800 biggest ways that we are being poisoned and not even knowing it is through our 605 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:38,793 food. 606 00:33:38,980 --> 00:33:42,160 And so people are gonna wanna, um, contact you, right?

And just letting people all love is, you know, 631 00:34:54,130 --> 00:34:57,800 is my vision is, is more than a brand is more than a clothing line. 632 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,880 It's more than, um, a lifestyle. It's more than a movement, 633 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:06,000 but it's a new way of being it's really coming back to our heart space, 634 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,480 which for me, I feel is our original way of being, 635 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,400 but we've gotten so far away from that, 636 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,080 that it's coming back to that it feels new where we really are operating from 637 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:19,800 our heart and letting love lead the way and how we think, how we act, how we, 638 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,920 co-create, how we give, how we receive, you know, 639 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,640 a new way of thinking and understanding where we're collaborating together as we 640 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,000 are building this, this new earth because the world, 641 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,360 as we know it is changing and the change is only, 642 00:35:34,730 --> 00:35:38,400 it has to come from love for us to all, you know, 643 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,240 coexist and be here on mama earth.
