What's up good people? I'm OVO and I'm here with Flavity. They are getting all
00:04
in my business so stay tuned and I hope you enjoy it. Now the space and the gap
00:08
that I try to fill is liberation essentially. I want people to know that
00:15
who they are is okay and enough. That you don't have to qualify to become worthy of
00:21
respect, worthy of love, worthy of truth, worthy of appreciation, worthy of
00:25
friendship, romantic partners, any of that you know and so for me that space is a
00:29
bout when you're in that shame and when you're in that that that pre-period if
00:35
you will of like your truth and that shame I want to fill that gap to let you
00:40
know that there is liberation on the other side. If not every day every other
00:45
day I am learning new things about myself, about the world that I live in,
00:49
about other shame that I'm still carrying and unpacking and unlearning
00:53
and doing those things to make sure that I am in my best self. I love that every
00:57
city has their own version of pride. You know we have Atlanta pride, DC pride, WeHo pride,
01:01
you know all these different prides and it may sound like a lot but again like
01:06
there's never too much when you're committed to giving freedom to
01:09
marginalized people. But I would love to see more stories that center love and
01:14
center fun, center joy, center truth, center peace because that's a also part
01:20
of the community that we don't tend to see often. You know I'd love to see it
01:24
happen in movies and film and TV, playwrights, books. I would love to see
01:30
more more mediums to talk about the things and talk about our joy.
