0:39So, so my apologies. But this good brother over here, come on, he would definitely be uploading it to YouTube so you can see it. Oh So, so how did you find out about Seven Streams and Cloudy Donuts? Through Instagram and then, uh, just following them.
0:53I know they’re, uh, from the DMV area where I used to live as well, so just want to support wherever they pop up in different cities as well. Yep. Okay, you say you’re from the DMV area. Was that where you were born and raised?
1:05I was raised in Philly but lived in the DMV for like 15 years. Yes. So you were the second person from the DMV that, that she’s actually from the DMV. Yeah, she’s from the DMV. She was putting me on to all the spots.
1:18Would you be able to tell me a couple spots too? Because I’ve never been there. For the people who have also never been there we would like to go there. What are some places that we should hit up? Well, uh, an adjacent situation like American Grammar is Busboy and Poets because it is a mixture of a restaurant, a cafe, as well as, um, uh, books from the Black community, uh, and brown community as well.
1:39So Busboy and Poets is adjacent to like American Grammar as well. Highly recommend it. They need to have one in Philly, but I’m not sure. Let’s, let’s work on that. Let’s get them to Philly. Let’s get them to Philly. So what are some of your, what are some of your hobbies?
1:57Oh yeah, um hobbies would be interior design. So I love learning about, uh, just uh, that aspect, color, uh, design. And then also I’m a, I’m a CEO of a consulting firm, so I’m constantly, uh, trying to look for adjacent Black and brown-owned companies as well, uh, so that we can collaborate.
2:18Okay, yeah, we definitely, we’re gonna have, we’re gonna have to connect. We’re gonna have to connect. We’re gonna have to connect. So we, we, I, I hear you talk about Black and brown, and, and I truly do love that. What, what can we do to help push the community further?
2:34Well, with the politics changing, the blue wave that just happened within politics I feel like we’re getting our voice back. We’re getting our seat at the table as well. And so it’s because of the politics, we have to be, we have to stand up where we can and being able to take charge where we can as well and be the voice at the table at the same time.
2:56Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. One last question. What would you want to leave the people with? A word, a phrase, it doesn’t matter. What would you like to leave the people with? Just support each other more than ever. I mean, now is the time to do that.
3:09We have to, I’m Puerto Rican, but I grew up in the African-American community. So I’m always saying that there’s so much we can learn from one another in our different communities and we do need to stand together ’cause we are, cliché, but we are stronger together as well.
3:24Yeah. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you. Oh excuse me.
