1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Hey y'all whether it's morning evening or afternoon I'm just glad that you guys had decided to vibe with

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:15,440
EATS A DAY. Y'all already know the drill whether y'all are on the go or at home. I just want you

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:23,280
guys to sit back, relax, and enjoy today's vibe by the day because as always every vibe by the day

4
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:32,720
is something special and very important. So without further ado sit back, relax, and enjoy hearing my voice.

5
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:44,000
So today's vibe by the day is image. Yes today's vibe by the day is image because I feel as though

6
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:55,760
image plays a big role within today's society especially within the black community. Image

7
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,120
plays a very very very very significant role within everything that we do each and every day.

8
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:11,760
So I'm gonna start off by saying that just by you looking a certain type of way and holding yourself

9
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:20,400
up to a certain type of paddle school people will look at you and always have something to say about

10
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:31,840
you. Always have something to pick about and I honestly don't understand it like I just don't

11
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:42,080
understand why people fail to realize that okay you know they have an image to uphold but they're

12
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:48,800
still human at the end of the day or sometimes the image that is being displayed is really not them

13
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:58,800
and when I say the really not them part is because social media and I know y'all probably like social

14
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:05,120
media where it's trying to echo down for y'all because it sounds funny in my ears but social

15
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:13,680
media image yes and the reason why I say image in social media is a problem is because yes we're

16
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:20,560
all on social media for something and when I be on social media at times like what is it called the

17
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:30,400
shade room the teen shade room I see a lot of stuff on those pages about these people and the images

18
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:37,280
that that they be upholding for themselves at times just being sometimes nothing but a bold face a

19
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,960
lot or these images they think that the new generation should look up to which is not like

20
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:52,240
relationship goals this one hit me so much when it came to today's vibe image because I had a

21
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:59,840
conversation with a old coworker of mine and they was like oh you know you should talk about like how

22
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,640
people come on social media and they think what everybody else is doing is the right thing and

23
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:13,680
which is not which is not and the reason why I use the shade room in the teen shade room as a prime

24
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,600
example is because the teen shade room it was a story about these you this youtube couple they

25
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,600
did a prank or whatever I don't know what it was but it it really escalated to something really really

26
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:33,520
bad and I feel as though that you had an image to uphold and the image that you upholding it's a

27
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:41,760
bold a bold face lie because from what the story I was hearing that her boyfriend had cheated no

28
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,520
her friend had added her boyfriend into her to the close friends and she found out and she broke

29
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:56,560
up with him and they was going back and forth on instagram about it and a couple days later he

30
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:03,200
popped up with flowers all like some all that we did was for content see the image that you get from

31
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:11,040
these youtubers sometimes it's not a good image because you're really doing things that people are

32
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,560
really having problems with and fell out with friendships in relationships with because of

33
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:24,400
something called honesty and trust when I feel like you are a person that has an image to uphold

34
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,800
you should be displaying nothing but the truth you should be displaying nothing but the real deal

35
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:41,760
positivity things like that don't do things that will trigger you to have your fans or your fan

36
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:48,080
base or whatever look at you like a joke because the image that you're upholding it's not good like

37
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,120
it's been so bad like they've been on this page and now in and out and in and out and in out and

38
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,640
the youtube the people that are on youtube the bloggers they keep up with this um stories and

39
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,640
stuff too they're like this is insane and this is what people looking up to you like

40
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,760
y'all know I always use a song quote like carti they see pictures they say goals i'm who they're

41
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:16,960
trying to be now certain stuff that i see on instagram it's like okay ooh that's genuine and

42
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,480
I want that that's what I want in life too some of it is bullshit and the reason why I say some of

43
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:29,760
these images that people carry is bullshit because some of it's not real it's like reality tv it's a

44
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:35,520
storyline that they want you to believe that it's not true like love and hip hop some of the story

45
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:43,440
lines on there are both based by it is not true and the image that they're upholding is to keep

46
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,920
them irrelevant let me tell you something even if you have a good or bad image you need to know from

47
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:58,240
this point out it don't matter how big you are or not just be honest because people are watching you

48
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:05,280
you have people that consider you role models they is people out here that consider you somebody

49
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:11,760
that they want to meet to look up to you one day you know and I feel like the image that you uphold

50
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,720
it is really negative who wants to be around that yes I get it we're human you're human at the end

51
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,360
of the day but you hold a higher title because you famous your famous is some type of world like the

52
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:31,600
youtube world social the instagram facebook twitter world or land you know you will uphold a image

53
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,760
that people are looking up to and some of these images that people are looking up to is a ball face

54
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:43,760
a ball a ball face lied to me because half of these images that people are looking up to is just

55
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:50,880
crazy to me because these images are affecting some some kids like some kids are really like

56
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,320
into this like whatever you're doing crazy they're into it they like it they see it they like oh my

57
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,440
gosh she does this I want to do this oh she calls herself it's on it is he does this I want to do

58
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,680
this like you know what they say be careful what you do because people are always watching and you

59
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:13,440
never know who's watching like when famous people I really feel bad for them because paparazzi is

60
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,800
always around and they always take a picture like they could be doing anything and paparazzi can make

61
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:25,040
up a ball face ass lie about what you're doing just to get a headlight just to get it in the

62
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,360
shave room twitter and all that just to get a storyline and then for to get more money in the

63
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,800
pocket and I feel like paparazzi their image is bullshit too because like you really going out here

64
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,200
snapping pictures of other people they got a little fame a little card whatever you snap these pictures

65
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:47,520
making up these bullshit ass storylines and y'all just think it's okay I don't think that's okay like

66
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,080
if I do become famous within this podcast I'm still going to be the same person

67
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:02,480
it I'm not changing because it's like you have an image to uphold and my image is to be real

68
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,080
yes at times I have my moments that I just don't want to hear the shit or don't want to be bothered

69
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:15,280
with it but it's like I'm not going to change and a lot of people you know like when I watch TV I watch

70
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,240
old older shows back then for my when I was younger and stuff half of them kids it's the same

71
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,720
people half of them it's not the same because the image that they had it changed them to a whole

72
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:35,440
never person and it wasn't good so I say this to say when it comes to image you know like when

73
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,320
they say oh that's goals that's what you're supposed to be doing like certain some of the

74
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:47,520
shit that people are promoting out here it's not it's it's not real I feel like it's not real

75
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:55,440
it's not genuine like all these crazy scenarios stories and images and titles and things that

76
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:02,320
y'all are upholding it's not real it's not it's not because half of these people are paid to

77
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:09,520
to feel this way by these people half these people are paid to act and ask because of the company

78
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:17,920
and whoever whatever it is okay and social media plays a big part with these images because a lot

79
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:24,560
of kids see these people and they be like oh they do it I'm gonna do it like I now forget when I was

80
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:29,200
in when I went to community college when I was a freshman and my professor my communication

81
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,640
professor was like I want y'all to do a project or something in the community that you feel as though

82
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:42,640
it's affecting children and I did music because you know like I say I'm I'm a city girl like I'm from

83
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Baltimore City and these children up here love young boy love young boy and young boy is cool

84
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,480
he alright with me but I really don't I don't really listen to it like that I listen to it but

85
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,560
I'm not a big fan you know I listen to you know from that party that's okay cool but on a daily

86
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:10,560
basis or whatever if I want to get in that mode not so much not as much so it's like in the middle

87
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:18,640
but nevertheless I just I did my project on how music affects kids because you know artists are

88
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:24,800
poets in their own little way even if they do it on beat off beat whatever how they write they

89
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,880
live so they write it down if they freestyle in it or whatever off the dome whatever some of this

90
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:36,400
stuff that they're saying they're not doing like I never forget I was watching this interview I think

91
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,600
Nikki Wanaaj and Joe Buttons she was on his uh broadcast or whatever and she was like feature

92
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:47,600
on there talking about some he drinks dirty soda and all that but he's a beginner like he don't he

93
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,840
just starting to do it so some of the people that you looking up to and all that stuff that

94
00:10:53,840 --> 00:11:01,120
they're saying in their lyrics it's cat some of the stuff that they're displaying like in the industry

95
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,280
or whatever it's cat they're doing that because that's what's going on in the world and that's the

96
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:13,600
image that they wanted to uphold and people don't understand the music that you listen to or to can

97
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,200
also put an impact on you like I said like the children up here love young boy because I'll never

98
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:27,920
forget I um I was I think when my little sister was still at our elementary science middle school

99
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,920
she was in her school that went up her school and be our champ wrong for her trip these little kids

100
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,120
were elementary kids she was in middle school that was that was her last year but elementary

101
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:47,200
and middle like they connected for her and I seen these little kids rapping young boy I'm like huh

102
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:53,600
wait a minute wait a minute and it's like you really can't fault the kids you gotta fault the parents

103
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:59,280
and the siblings because that's what they listen to sometimes it's like yeah it's cute and funny at

104
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:06,320
that moment but sometimes like I'm afraid to have my child listen to this because it's like this is

105
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:12,480
what they they're gonna think it's right and what I'm saying to them is gonna be wrong you know and

106
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,520
like within the project I had to I said I said that too I was like sometimes these images that we uphold

107
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,320
from people slash ourselves we feel as though what they display is better than what we're trying to

108
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,240
display and I feel as though I listen to all the music like my mom and I had a conversation I too

109
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:36,320
long ago about music like always tell my mom you listen to that Odie Wiguddi music like music from

110
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:43,760
70s 80s 90s I do too because I learned it from my parents but when I play certain music around my

111
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:50,320
sister she was like what is that turn that off my little sister's little dirt and I understand it

112
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,360
but I be like you need to listen to something else because you know sometimes it's like yeah you

113
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:02,160
want your child to you know have their own way and images from people and stuff but when it comes to

114
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:08,400
music I want you to have a variety I think children should have a variety of different

115
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,320
type of music genres that they hear from and not just one you know rap should not just be the only

116
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:24,720
one like jazz country hip-hop r&b pop you know I have those many different varieties in my phone

117
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:33,280
and I grew up listening to that so when they're going back to image the images that you see with

118
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:41,120
the on social media and in person is very different it's very different and not even we're not even

119
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,680
going to talk about the famous people no more we're going to move aside from that we talk about

120
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:52,400
people like me regular people like us sometimes the images that y'all uphold on instagram twitter

121
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,640
facebook versus in person be full of bull to something y'all talk that talk on flash all this

122
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,920
money and do all this and that but in person y'all the main ones except for stuff I don't understand

123
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,480
that but you know what I do understand social media is a place where you could be anybody you want

124
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,000
you could display the real you you could do you but it's also a place for you to express what you

125
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,280
want to express if you want to get on there say you got this you got that and in reality you don't

126
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:26,720
cool but I feel like if somebody knows exactly who you are I don't think you need to be on their

127
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:33,840
line you don't because the image that you're trying to uphold baby it's gone like high school image

128
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,680
like we was in high school yeah it was some dudes out there some girls out there that were

129
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:45,760
that they had a big image but at the high school baby that image is gone like that's gone like

130
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:52,480
that high school cloud gone where oh it's held now we're getting older as hell now we're getting older

131
00:14:53,040 --> 00:15:01,760
it's held like what that all that that cloud and all that you got girl boy gone let it go like

132
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,280
why are you still holding on to that like people know of you for what you be it yet an image you

133
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:13,360
uphold and half of those images that y'all uphold was with some crazy images and I wouldn't even

134
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,680
want nobody to even remember me for a crazy moment I know we all have our moments yes but some of them

135
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,400
images was too impressed people and don't think about me I'm not a people pleaser I'm not doing

136
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:32,480
that I'm going to give you the real nitty gritty even at times if I have to get a little bit like

137
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,840
if I gotta get a little bit of crust up which is to let you know what's going on

138
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,280
some people you know they say they're green yeah so many people are green for these images

139
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:52,800
baby the image that I uphold is to be me nothing but me and that's it the real me at times yes I

140
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,920
come outside look like I don't love myself sometimes I come outside look like oh you look like you got

141
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:04,080
some money but nevertheless I'm not ready to go out here and act like I don't know who I am I'm not

142
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,360
gonna go out here act like I'm not somebody I'm not to uphold that image for somebody no that's

143
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:15,600
another thing too the image and the certain things that we do to get people's attention it's just

144
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,200
all over the place like it's females out here that do things to get a dude's attention and then

145
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:28,400
when they get the attention from the dude he's not on what they are on like for example I don't

146
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:36,080
not people that get bbl's stuff but I just feel as though that me I'm big on safety reason I'm not

147
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:42,880
getting no bbl to impress nobody if it's no real reason on why I need to get it some people out here

148
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,000
get it because what they want some people get it because if they want attention me I don't like

149
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,640
attention I don't because some of the time all attention is not good attention and it's not

150
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:02,400
good intentions so like even though I am a good I am a woman yes I am a young woman and I do like

151
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:10,240
men sometimes the image that you give to them completely on like I be at work and sometimes

152
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,960
I wear shorts but those short be like a little baggy like I like them to be a little loose sometimes

153
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,520
because you know who want to walk around with tight clothes I don't understand that like

154
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,240
I don't understand that like the image I uphold is I'm a working woman but I also got class

155
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:33,600
I'm not I'm not gonna be fast I'm not doing that because the image I uphold for myself is that I'm

156
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:40,960
a lady and I'm not easy and I'm not green for what you're trying to sell me okay I'm not with

157
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,480
it you could just look like even on a bad day as they say well I say not even my best days you

158
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,600
still can get somebody's attention but I really don't be living for that because that's not my

159
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:57,760
image I just be me you come to me respectfully I'm a company respectfully now you come to me

160
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:04,160
disrespectful you a man oh you what you don't match your match now because the image you're

161
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:10,880
trying to uphold with me is not going to fly like it vice versa with with men too sometimes

162
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,560
us females come to y'all with good intentions and some is not because the way that your image is

163
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:24,160
is how you display yourself too sometimes would be like the green light of okay this is what he is

164
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,400
this is what he want to be or this is what he is like you know okay avoid because he

165
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,920
wear his pants his head way off his behind he coming up here with a stack in his pocket

166
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,360
he wears clothes like this like that and I didn't realize he even if the guys that come

167
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:47,520
there see the times we always be like oh this carlton looking motherfucker oh my gosh like the

168
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,400
images that we hold for each other and the image that we have for ourselves sometimes like good

169
00:18:52,400 --> 00:19:01,280
and bad if you know full-fat what you do and how you dress is up does for you girl boy

170
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:07,760
being women baby I don't care you do that because that's the image that you have for yourself if

171
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,720
you don't do it on a regular basis then something wrong like if you know certain stuff is not for

172
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:22,080
you don't do it like for me when it's time to get you know it's time to you know show show up and show

173
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:29,680
out oh my do that but on a regular day I'm gonna make nothing turn to something okay like it's just

174
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:35,920
like when it comes to the image a lot of people just feel and realize that your image is what you

175
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:45,680
make it and I feel like social media has took a detour on us being confident and comfortable with

176
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,080
in who we are because of the images that we see online from the famous people and everything like

177
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:57,280
that like people like girls at that like they do things because that's the image that's what's it

178
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:04,480
that's what dudes want like I never forget that I was watching like the notorious document and you

179
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:10,480
know notorious and little chemist together but he did some stuff to her that really ticked me off

180
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:21,440
and that lead it to up her image of now because he won you know versus what he wanted and versus

181
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,000
what she had she felt as though what she had was not enough and I felt as though if a man or woman

182
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,920
cannot accept you for how you are in the image of a look at you a whole let him or her go walk away

183
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,120
from that because you shouldn't have to change yourself for nobody I'm not doing it I'm not

184
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:47,840
changing what I do on a daily basis or who I am for somebody to care love me and to pay attention

185
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,920
to notice me no that goes for family friends relationship everything if you can't accept me

186
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,680
for who I am then why should I even still continue to talk to you because let me tell you something

187
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:06,880
that's another thing I use that as an example because after all that fiasco happened a lot of

188
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:12,800
girls started to change and all the stories that I've seen within the industry a lot of girls

189
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,480
would change they look because that's what's it that's what men talk about I like a woman with

190
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:25,600
big breasts big boobs dog hair what what and people are really out here changing images so

191
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:35,360
they can get noticed no no no no no I say this to say do not change for anybody that's not going

192
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:41,680
to change for you and I ain't talking about parents I'm talking about mentally and physically why

193
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,400
mentally if you're not going to change for the better for me but for us or whatever the situation

194
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,360
is a family friend relationship or relationship in general with a man or a woman if they're not

195
00:21:51,360 --> 00:22:00,800
entitled to change the image that they have for you for the better let them go it's not worthy it's

196
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:07,760
not worth it's not worth you really having to spend a thousand dollars thousand dollars on your

197
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:14,160
look it's the for a man or woman just to finally realize you it's not worth it it's not worth it

198
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,520
at all it's not worth all that time and energy for you to change the image of who you are just

199
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,880
to impress about it's not it's not and I feel like image is a gift and a curse because if you

200
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,880
have image some people's images out here are very good they display good energy the image is good

201
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,480
they display a good purpose half of these people images are not good because it has a hold on people

202
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,120
today is having them thinking and wondering what am I doing wrong why I'm not getting this type of

203
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:46,560
energy and let me tell you good in all energy is not good energy certain energy that you get from

204
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:53,200
people is not good like some of the attention that you think is good is not is not and like you know

205
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,520
you could just wear simple stuff people are gonna do women whoever they're gonna be like oh my god

206
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,760
she thinks she better than me or do you be like oh my god she got all that out of nothing uh it's

207
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:08,160
like it's a gift and a curse for being who you are because at times it's like you can't really go

208
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:15,120
outside in peace without somebody saying you're you scared you know sometimes it's like your image

209
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:20,640
you uphold for yourself is like it's good and bad the image that I uphold is a display nothing but

210
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:26,240
natural even though at times I do wear wig I don't care this is the real me this is the real deal

211
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:31,280
sometimes my wig is not gonna look so up to par sometimes my hair is not gonna look up to par

212
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:39,600
but I'm not gonna change how I am and what I do just to get the next man or woman's opinion

213
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:47,680
not doing that if you like to wear certain stuff do that for you don't try to keep up with what's

214
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:55,440
hot because sometimes what's hot it's not for you and not for your pockets okay like a lot of girls

215
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:03,280
out here got these valenciaga bags and um all these designer some of them can't even keep up with it

216
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:14,240
like if you know that if you're trying to create an image for you think about this make a blueprint

217
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:20,640
y'all know I love that word haven't used that word in a minute make a blueprint on why in the world

218
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:26,400
you think you should change your image sometimes yes we have to level up on images and change for

219
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,880
the better because sometimes the old routine is not the same but then when you get older sometimes

220
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:37,280
you do got to change for the better within your image however before you make those changes lay it

221
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:43,920
out on the table on why you should do this and make sure with on that blueprint is going to make

222
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,840
sense once it comes to life like when I got older certain stuff I took away certain stuff are brought

223
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:56,400
in like the vision board situation on a vision board I did add I want to dress a little bit more

224
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:03,120
professional and classy because the pictures I seen of women how they made little outfits like these

225
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:07,920
like just a button-up shirt and the jeans make it look cute I want to do that I want to do certain

226
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:15,040
stuff like that I don't want to go out here showing my bare behind sometimes I still get insecure

227
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:24,240
about my legs and stuff because I got dents and wrinkles in my thyroid okay but nevertheless the

228
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:31,360
image that I uphold for myself is to love yourself but also make sure that you're not sending out the

229
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:40,560
wrong message you know you want to make sure that the image you uphold on and off social media is good

230
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:47,680
and not giving off the wrong message and this is why this podcast is my platform where I feel

231
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:53,920
comfortable what I want to say because yes this is media but off the media if we have no if I

232
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:59,520
was have a conversation one of you guys in person it's the same my image is the same it's not going

233
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:05,040
to change it's not because this is how I feel this is what I stand for and this is what I believe in

234
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:12,960
and I want to stick to this and tell us my time to go okay so with that being said when it comes to

235
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:19,360
image live in the truth live in your truth do not believe everything that's on social media

236
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:26,400
because at times like I said half of those those story scenarios and stuff those images are paid

237
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:35,440
images they're getting paid to lie sometimes they're getting paid to promote this to fill us

238
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:41,680
the regular people minds up with this is what we should be living we should be living like this I

239
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,760
should be riding around like this I should be with him I should be with them I should be outside every

240
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:55,600
no don't start any bad habits or don't create any images that will lead to bad habits and that will

241
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,160
lead you to a situation where you don't know who you are anymore and it'll also lead to the people

242
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:07,760
around you not knowing who you are trust me I see this happen so certain people change because they

243
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:13,600
felt so that's it that's a new trend no it's not be you if you know you don't do certain stuff like

244
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:18,000
that don't do it that's not your image that's not how you feel that's not what you believe it don't

245
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:28,080
do it like don't don't sit there and think oh I could do this but then you sit back like I can't do

246
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,480
this it's not for me this is not the image of trying to uphold because that could cause peer

247
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:39,280
pressure image can also create peer pressure and low self-esteem and people are not understanding

248
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,080
the image that you uphold that's for you that's cool that you promote and everything but that's

249
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,520
not everybody and I speak mainly for the women on this one because like I said the surgeries and

250
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:55,200
things like that sometimes some of the stories that y'all have are reasonable some of them are just

251
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:01,680
not some of them just like okay if I get this it's gonna make me hot it's not because like yeah you

252
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:08,640
get some surgeries and stuff but you still gotta keep it up you gotta keep up this image and you

253
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:16,080
know like tattoos and stuff like you get it once you get it make sure this is the image or whatever

254
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:22,080
is you want because once it's there is there forever and you can't get it away like it's a tattoo

255
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:27,600
you can't erase really like yeah you go to the people get the little stuff but you really still

256
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,520
can't get erased because the marks and stuff still gonna be there some of the stuff still gonna be

257
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:37,520
there so I say this to say when it comes to image live for you live in the image that you know as

258
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:46,160
you live in your true self your true colors you everything true don't follow behind these social

259
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:53,760
media or people promotion blogs and stuff like that that's not you if you know certain stuff is not

260
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:59,760
for you don't try it don't try it if you if you know you a type person like I'm not gonna do that

261
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,520
that's not for me or you judge people doing it doing that why would you even think that you want to

262
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,680
try it like if you know you don't like what people drink why are you trying to drink you know you

263
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:17,680
don't drink like that like don't try to do things just to fit in you know if nobody's gonna accept

264
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:24,240
you your real true image because you being you you being real need to let them go and let them

265
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,920
have their image if they uphold it because both of your images are not the same and both of y'all

266
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:37,520
not the same so I say this to say when it comes to an image live in your truth live for you love

267
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,640
yourself don't do things that you know you're not ready for don't take a risk that you know it's not

268
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:48,240
for you because at the end of the day this is your life you make it how it is the image that you

269
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:55,680
uphold display and things like that to others is how others are going to remember you and as I say

270
00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:05,360
as well social media is like the good and bad game because like you could be somebody on there

271
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:12,800
that nobody know but behind closed doors people that know you that's behind behind the scenes of it

272
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:20,640
gotta be you gotta be careful when you do that don't be sneaky but yes I say this to say

273
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,920
I want everyone to live the truth live in it colors because your image is who you are I don't

274
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:32,240
care if you're not famous or not I'm not famous and if you were to become famous don't forget who

275
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:39,040
you are don't let fame and money change you because at the end of the day people are quick to pinpoint

276
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,480
that on you like you know before you was famous you were a regular person now you're famous you

277
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:51,360
had your own nobody you know so you don't want that make sure you the image is true it's firm it's

278
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:57,440
kind clean cut all that positive not negative that you see on social media some of this stuff like I

279
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:05,680
say again it's paid advertise me to get us sucked up in that image that you know it's not free and

280
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:13,360
for the kids I just hope for the children sorry for the children that you know or may listen to this

281
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:22,400
because my podcast is free and I'm cut it's for everybody here live for you don't be afraid to be

282
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:29,840
you then don't be bullying the kids either that you feel as though I'm not like you because they're

283
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,520
different and it's good to be different because if we was all the same this life will be boring

284
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,800
okay so think about that like we was all the same life will be boring it'd be nothing exciting about

285
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:48,960
life like all these talents that people have the images that they uphold what they talent stuff

286
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:55,840
if we have to sing a talent it's boring because nobody's different nobody's created and that's

287
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,560
what I like about us being different everybody's creative everybody's different everybody got

288
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,120
something in their own little way it might be the same category but it's different someone was born

289
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:11,040
like that some of it learned overnight or days and took practice you know so I say this to say

290
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:16,080
when it comes to your image please stand firm tall and firm on everything that you do don't be

291
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:22,000
afraid to be who you are don't let nobody take your joy don't let nobody put yourself a thing down

292
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,920
and don't let nobody peer pressure you and within trying to change who you are for an image okay

293
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,320
because you're different for a reason and that's what makes you who you are

294
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:44,320
whether it's rain or shine whenever you guys are listening to this I hope you guys enjoy your day

295
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,840
morning afternoon or evening whenever you're hearing this I just hope that this puts a big

296
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:55,600
impact on your life because it did to me like this topic is one of the topics that I wanted to talk

297
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:02,960
about but I just didn't know how to categorize that and I'm glad I did as an image but as always

298
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,400
I wish you guys thought that with peace and blessings please be safe out here because

299
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:15,120
