14:26

Here's another glee: how long as you're season,

14:28

How long is about the most? I don't

14:30

14:33

I'm here. I gotcha. Girl assistants are season

14:35

is. It starts in May with a draft

14:37

is this month April and as starts in

14:39

May and then you'll probably play until October.

14:42

But this year is is a special year

14:44

because the Olympics is right in the middle

14:46

of our season so it's a little longer

14:48

or we may run. been in doesn't really

14:50

go over October made us go instead it

14:53

two weeks until October might be three but

14:55

I'm yeah it's that's is pretty much the

14:57

summer. we have a lot of find going.

14:59

all these different places have a yes Olympic

15:01

year so are also what was used to

15:04

be are all Star Break. Will now be

15:06

Olympic athletes who had over two years and.

15:08

Compete. For a gold medal. We. Do

15:10

do you get It is beyond the Olympic

15:12

team. how does work? So it's crazy because

15:14

I'm currently here in Cleveland competing so he

15:16

had these different training camps that we go

15:19

to arm and then they come out with

15:21

it while player roster of i think maybe

15:23

somewhere before my i think June may be

15:25

utterly me know when the listen I'm now

15:27

but you just better hope your own it

15:29

on but we do these different cancer we

15:31

have a committee that overlooks everything in they

15:33

just kind of figure out who they want

15:35

to be on the team with who that

15:37

a teenager who's obviously great up in the

15:39

basket own whole. Arm and go from

15:41

there but it's been great so far. I

15:43

won my first one in twenty twenty one

15:45

in Tokyo. so yeah it's me good. Okay,

15:48

15:50

twenty Twenty one. Were you in a relationship

15:53

then? Or now? Ah

15:55

in know I was is

15:57

15:59

16:01

everyone is like hi. Let. Is

16:03

that like like is like. Oh.

16:07

16:09

really was a really rare like we were

16:12

can I used to being in their quarantine

16:14

space of does. Taken. Him. But I

16:16

think it's also a beautiful been to see where a

16:18

lot of people try to pin us against each other

16:20

like they really try to be like oh well. The

16:22

Mph doing this with adobe me to they need

16:25

the money and other that have been like. In

16:27

actuality it is like a brother in a citizen

16:29

that we really kind of linked together. We're really

16:31

cool I and to realize that we could all

16:33

be normal in our space cadet Villegas professional athletes.

16:35

me after. But. That Moscow and and

16:37

be the certain person. With. And we're surrounded

16:39

by people are like minded your car way I

16:41

can kind of be free, I can take them,

16:43

ask up in be myself and play video games

16:45

in just ticket and talk about all of our

16:47

experiences in the locker room. so we're pretty cool.

back on my finger over without yes

24:10

in a relationship. Did. Success

24:12

change the relationship at all.

24:15

Ah with said the

24:17

question I. I. Guess you

24:19

can see. Yes,

24:22

Because. Within an evident the same time

24:24

as like I didn't see myself as

24:26

being that successful at the time. But.

24:29

It was a certain things where I would think back

24:31

to her. Mom always says i you know that every

24:33

waking go as you and isn't one of those places

24:35

where I was like. A.live

24:38

where you lay, I promise you. this

24:40

is no hard feelings but like I'm

24:42

trying to go somewhere where I really

24:44

don't need anyone else. and in a

24:47

little another they were. Like a site

24:49

you with me but late for real. Like

24:51

honestly it was one of those things rouse

24:53

i I ne I started to prioritize a

24:55

lot of different things before me and I

24:57

lost myself in there and answer like I

24:59

was i it to I go probably still

25:02

am someone that falls in love with the

25:04

potential and so on. Miss that a me

25:06

in the person straight up so I wouldn't

25:08

say success was like all the reason like

25:10

oh you're getting all these you're gone It

25:12

was more so like their potential that I

25:15

saw a new started to. Not. Be

25:17

real estate and I had to be real

25:19

my cell and that moment our society cari

25:21

that think it's time for me that Hannah

25:23

split my ways but. It. Was cool

25:25

verbose for me and I'm at the time

25:27

of the probably like obviously I felt like

25:29

I was like oh and tears when period.

25:31

But then I started early the road myself.

25:34

I. Get that eyes the i'm miss to

25:36

the time fall in love with someone

25:38

for ten saw yeah and only one

25:40

day you'll get this lenses and then

25:42

it's like you wake up one day

25:44

needle. Nose there

25:47

one day than ever com the my

25:49

one day has some head is time

25:51

for me to like. Move.

25:53

On in a graceful way.

25:56

Yeah. But that's also it's

25:58

hard to realize. Your mom

26:00

saying you can take everyone with you.

26:02

I love that so much because it's

26:04

very true. Like. You can have a

26:06

lotta love for somebody, but you know sometimes is

26:09

not meant to be. Yes, And that's the hard

26:11

part because you're like paying like I wish you

26:13

well. I don't want to make you seem like

26:15

out like that new law for doing this but

26:18

it's like I just where I want to go,

26:20

where I see myself a desert involved. A lot

26:22

of people is sometimes assist me and we're fighting

26:24

with them myself and say like what I want

26:27

to do i can are better myself and sometimes

26:29

you just get everybody with you So yeah it's.

26:32

are let alone in my space. So yeah, so

33:53

I'd I'd come a good writer myself. Time to

33:55

be single cassette a lot. I don't think people

33:57

really. Think. About when you're in a relationship.

34:00

Like everything A really goes for me

34:02

to we. And. Then is a lot

34:04

for person. they're so used to me assess

34:06

so like. When it is when I

34:08

do like break off or when it happens

34:10

or whatever I have to give myself sometimes

34:12

is the kind of get used to be

34:15

V again and then I can realize okay

34:17

am I ready to Canada welcome in that

34:19

we to base So yeah do a ton

34:21

of. Silao. And then

34:23

like I said of it turns Cons of

34:25

a goes goes cool I'm happy where I

34:27

am. I got my puppy silt and it.

34:30

Was in a pot see

34:32

I've australian. Shepherd mix with poodles

34:34

them the. So

34:37

fucking. Two

34:39

boys A sin. Do they have my

34:42

heart set. That suits you.

34:44

Are you gonna love how till you are

34:46

in? I love that you were like oh

34:48

in between releases elect elect. A

34:50

new route myself in. The

34:52

army again and feel what it's like

34:54

to be in my body by myself

34:56

again. and I think that's really important

34:58

for people. I have friends or I'm

35:00

like, how are you jumping from person

35:02

to person? Who are you like? You

35:04

know who you are at lake too

35:07

late. Silence. A little bit

35:09

as and in this era of me

35:11

being single, I am now enjoying that

35:13

I don't have anybody to like answer

35:16

to or be like I'm thinking about

35:18

doing this thing. I can just leave

35:20

town, have to find someone to take

35:23

care of my dogs, but I can

35:25

just. Leave. Town

35:27

and. Not. Check in

35:29

the have to call nine one One amount of

35:31

power. And. It's funny

35:33

because at first I was like ah man

35:35

I want that, I want to like have

35:38

you know a home base to like, call

35:40

or whatever But now is really enjoying being

35:42

single and. I think

35:44

that's something I needed before I

35:46

try to dive into something else.

35:49

Yes, Big issues with as I say

35:51

that also allows you to they when that

35:53

time is ready to then give which you

35:55

know you can get to that person And

35:57

I think that's why I enjoyed the most

35:59

because. Like okay, am I not ready from

36:01

within? Like now. I can wholeheartedly give you what

36:03

I've been trying to build in, grow in the

36:06

hotel you protected in, take care of it and

36:08

that's what I love about just kind of like

36:10

the companionship of at all is just like okay.

36:12

now we can mean the middle like we're not

36:14

perfect I promise you I'm gonna fuck up along

36:16

like is gonna be crazy. I'm going to cry

36:18

my most it was all over the place especially

36:20

in seasons but it's telling but that's what are

36:23

your for it Like that's what you're supposed to

36:25

gonna. Take care about other

36:27

side but I feel like I would never do

36:29

that if I didn't have that time to myself

36:31

to really gotten myself. Yeah.

36:34

I've seen. I'm like working on alone is

36:36

like telling people how I feel in the

36:38

moment. I. Have such

36:40

a hard time doing it like it.

36:42

So when hurts my feelings I'm very

36:44

good. To be like easy let's get

36:46

another drink. I'm fine an antenna be

36:48

like okay. They did hurt my feelings.

36:51

And the way I can articulate it is like. You

36:54

know it's I'm not commenting on you

36:56

as a person, but I really didn't

36:58

love what was said and I'm rail

37:00

little certain way. And

37:03

I have such a hard time doing it.

37:05

And in a relationship I think that's like

37:07

super invaluable to be able to. Say.

37:09

How you feel on the moment or.

37:11

Say. How you feel today's down the line Believe

37:13

that thing is that. I it does. I've been

37:16

holding it. And. I'm. Trying

37:18

to do it more with friends. like and

37:20

like bring it into a relationship. You.

37:23

So fucking ground at how did this happen.

37:26

I mean that as a between my parents and

37:28

between just the people that I have in my

37:31

life currently in that I've been through and I

37:33

was kind of like my lessons. I've really gotten

37:35

this kind of really gotten to him with myself

37:37

and knew exactly what I want, it what I

37:39

didn't let him and sometimes it hurts. It really

37:42

does hurt because it's like you want the best,

37:44

like you're like cool and I really want these

37:46

like a we were rooting for you like com

37:48

or emphasis on this and in it's like crash

37:50

and burn and then I just felt. Like I'd

37:53

out that so tired of this been stuck

37:55

in that crash and burn states that I

37:57

just really ten I got into with myself

37:59

and. It alive in our society. What

38:01

am I missing? What do I need more of?

38:03

Who can I get to like That's just me

38:05

and then later on as time went by and

38:08

like as alleges gonna let it go in and

38:10

is just like you are like. This.

38:12

Is where you can be happy with this

38:14

as we can be yourself with and and

38:16

I turned to my parents and their dislike

38:18

hey we he looked good like if you

38:20

look you like you're just yourself so go

38:22

for it and so I think that's kind

38:25

of where it comes from his says learning

38:27

those lessons and and being like the city

38:29

lights and also communicating wasn't my best thing

38:31

like I was really as a community crazy

38:33

that unlike in the locker room arkansas the

38:35

my teammates like that I'll I get him

38:37

but then with us to a guy like

38:39

oh. Cause. I don't know

38:41

how that will make you feel when I

38:43

die. Makes me feel it out an arctic

38:45

communicate that she's so man learning part for

38:48

me and finding someone like that and I

38:50

can trust to be like I can release

38:52

take you do this step by step A

38:54

we could communicate together. As. Inflame the

38:56

kind of was to grow. Yeah.

38:58

The whole communication thing for me is hard

39:00

to the my what of I tell you

39:02

how I feel in you leave dilemma is

39:04

there This is like Lilith they leave, they

39:06

leave. You. Don't Own Them.

39:09

Also, isn't that a great.

39:11

Isn't that so nice that you said how

39:13

you felt and they couldn't handle it? So

39:15

they left the as a couldn't meet you

39:17

halfway. That means it's not your person. I

39:20

was like oh my god, it makes sense

39:22

lady But like ah, right. Yes,

39:25

Yes, it is Not The. Easiest thing,

39:27

but we learn and we grow really

39:29

gotten there. Yet real

39:32

39:34

another break. Today.

40:12

people from getting his sexual and reproductive

40:15

care they need. Planned Parenthood believes everyone

40:17

deserves health care. It's a human rights

40:19

and that's why they fight every data

40:22

posts for common sense policies that protect

40:24

your right to control your own body

40:26

and against policies that interfere with decisions

40:29

between patients and. Their Doctors Planned

network with these people in lane kind of get their

48:08

pick their brain but I'm deathly blessed on something that

48:10

so they can take away from me so I'm happy

48:12

there. I I

48:14

can imagine that. Lake. Though.

48:16

They did take away a lot of

48:18

people I it never occurred see that

48:21

Lake High School seniors are like college

48:23

seniors like Mr. Seasons of their their

48:25

sports and since yeah like that was

48:27

robbed from that some of the high

48:30

yet this. All the whole thing. Fuck

48:32

him. At

48:35

all of prefer. Ah,

48:38

Miss you wrote a book. Dear Black

48:40

Girls, what's that of the house? Yes,

48:42

Dear Black Girls is really a book.

48:44

a journey of how will a journal

48:47

really of how I just navigate it,

48:49

my life and how I was should

48:51

myself and. How I became who I am is

48:53

just like is not a. Telling people

48:55

what to do or how you see is

48:57

more so of like this is my life

48:59

This is the human side of Asia. They're

49:02

not a lot of people kids see with

49:04

as they normally to see me the uniform

49:06

and it was just like a lot of

49:08

different stories like dealing with racism and dealing

49:10

with Greece happiness as well. Winning with success

49:12

is kind of lonely. you're gonna. You

49:14

don't know, you can't figure it out. Sometimes a you

49:16

lose yourself in that but it's a book I'm just

49:18

guiding. Our young people particularly but

49:20

also black women. Because Odyssey I can relate

49:23

to they want to have a very personal

49:25

level of just like being true to ourselves

49:27

and get ourselves some grace or same that

49:29

this world is not nice which means we

49:31

don't have to the nice we can still

49:33

be true to ourselves but I had a

49:35

lot of one writing it. I'm in ah

49:37

for reading and I didn't audio book as

49:39

well. Oh, that's fine. yeah

49:41

I wrote a book but it has

49:43

more pictures than it does word Anyway,

49:45

So when you talk about racism, are

49:48

you talking about being one of the

49:50

few black students in your school growing

49:52

up? Is that like the reason is

49:54

that the this. Year. I

49:56

went to a private school for twelve years

49:58

on end it was. A lot of

50:01

black people at all, let alone them black.

50:03

What? men are black young girl? So yeah,

50:05

it was a lot of different instances where

50:07

I'm just like, know, looks like me. Men:

50:09

Knowing can relate to me in I don't know how

50:11

50:44

ups and downs of my life, but it made me

50:46

who I am today. I like

51:14

majority like the white kids didn't ever have

51:16

to have that conversation. The. A nice

51:18

name was like oh you might not

51:20

51:22

it's like bull their the majority so

51:24

like were announced that that is the

51:26

norm or say race is. It is

51:29

a very weird way to like have.

51:31

To present yourself to the world in like oh

51:33

I might just be rejected because of just. Literally,

51:35

the way I was born, my gun means

51:38

that. Yeah, I

51:40

was like I: we're just like a double

51:42

minority. I'm a woman. I'm in. I'm a

51:44

black woman like is just my drum glug

51:46

Navigate miscarried were a little. You're not like

51:49

51:51

And. Then to add on that you

51:54

had dyslexia So was that. Hard.

51:56

Or was it like a singer was like oh

51:58

i'm having trouble with. Reading. Because

52:01

I have dyslexia or was it like we don't

52:03

know what's going on? Elm. Elsevier. it

52:05

was very hard. It was one of those moments

52:07

where it was just like iti and I studied

52:09

so hard, work so hard and that when I

52:11

would get into the classroom. A. With I

52:13

didn't even know the i was like reading their

52:15

own subject and for me it was hard for

52:17

my family because it it was hard for me

52:20

to be vocal about it because I'm just by

52:22

I don't know what's going on mama promise you

52:24

I'm looking at a material like we're literally steady

52:26

get together in the my peers like we're just

52:28

being lazy late. start doing your work work harder

52:31

and I'm like I am. I'm in then that's

52:33

what I finally dame and was like Okay so

52:35

we gonna get you tested for a learning disability

52:37

in our we were doing all those courses of

52:39

i'm just like oh my god just tell me

52:41

what what's wrong with me. Arms And

52:44

finally they said that I was diagnosed

52:46

with dyslexia and from their my whole

52:48

life changed because our society. When.

52:50

Our on this high profile as lead does the

52:52

world needs and node by my teachers need to

52:54

know. Do I tell my friends I don't want

52:57

people to think I can't read so I was

52:59

just like really battling with myself way the what

53:01

do I do that? where am I I would

53:03

do I need to say and is slowly I

53:05

just started to read a lot more. My clothes

53:08

made me read scriptures like sucess. I know we're

53:10

going to help you. Be. A

53:12

lot better. Like its notes here, but you're

53:14

definitely more comfortable in the what's I doubt

53:16

that I was like you know, at every

53:18

Chinese these resources. So that's and I started

53:20

my foundation. And I'm just like, let's get

53:22

these resources at these young kids to make

53:25

sure they understand they bury. This isn't

53:27

just a discipline, this isn't just a disability that's gonna

53:29

hold you back from success like you can live in

53:31

be true to use. So it was a novel in

53:33

the beginning, but now I live it and I love

53:35

it is. I kind of make jokes about it Suits

53:37

that com said. I like the moon. I

53:40

get it, I grew up with a D

53:42

H D in everyone's like like is she

53:44

times injury was uses do or works and

53:46

I. Truly. Couldn't believe I

53:48

just can't like I rightly cannot

53:50

sit here and do this works

53:53

I physically cannot the earring concentrate

53:55

on as and I didn't find

53:57

out til I was like way

53:59

older little. Growing. Up

54:01

and then be an adult. And I'm like

54:03

the way everyone thought I was lazy. Like

54:05

the whole thing about being a kid is

54:07

like obey adults like that's what you're told

54:09

as a kid their like. That's all I

54:11

want to do. So it's like when you

54:13

54:16

Maybe. It is a learning disability. The the it

54:18

is is like they're a D H D or
