00:00Guys, when I say I'm a big fan, I'm a huge fan of Summer Walker.

00:04Oh my goodness.

00:05I love Arby, guys.

00:06She looks beautiful as expected.

00:07Here she is.

00:08Oh my gosh.

00:09We might have to help her get up on the platform.

00:10Would you like some help?

00:11Let me help you.

00:12Oh my gosh.

00:13Hello.

00:14Hi.

00:15Nice to meet you.

00:16Wow.

00:17How are you?

00:18I'm good.

00:19It's very good to hear.

00:20I've got to ask you first because, listen, I'm a fellow introverted girly, and I think

00:24you and I are both in that situation where we're put in front of people.

00:28What advice do you have for me as we go on to feel more comfortable with myself kind

00:32of in front of the camera?

00:33Take a shot.

00:34Oh, okay.

00:35I don't mind that at all, and I will be taking one after this.

00:38No, I'm lying to you.

00:39I really don't know.

00:40Pray, girl.

00:41Yeah, it's true.

00:42It's rough out here when you're an introvert.

00:43It's true.

00:44Well, you're presenting tonight, so how does it feel to be part of such an empowering moment

00:50and empowering night with all these powerful women?

00:53I'm excited.

00:54It's something new for me to try and do, so it'll be fun.

00:58You've been a longtime staple in the R&B world.

01:02How do you continue to push the boundary, not only for yourself, but for your career?

01:07How do I continue to push the boundary?

01:09Yes.

01:10I just be myself.

01:11Absolutely.

01:12The authenticity is key, right?

01:13Yeah.

01:14Yes, it is.

01:15Because you see it the way the fans even respond, too.

01:17Being able to relate with people, that's what works for me.

01:20Absolutely.

01:21Before the fame, you ran an independent cleaning service, which I really admire because it

01:25highlights your determination and your hustle.

01:29Those values are very important in life.

01:31What advice would you give to aspiring dreamers out there on balancing life's responsibilities

01:36while also maintaining their music career?

01:40I would say just never get too comfortable.

01:44This economy isn't getting any better.

01:46I have a question for you, though.

01:48Yes.

01:50If I'm not mistaken, Mike Tyson, you interviewed him?

01:53Yes, that's me.

01:54Yes, I did.

01:55How old are you?

01:56I'm 14 years old right now.

01:57I'm so proud of you.

01:58Thank you so much.

01:59I'm turning 15, guys.

02:00Thank you so much.

02:01Yeah, you're doing great.

02:02Thank you so much for that.

02:03That really means a lot coming from you because I'm a huge R&B fan.

02:07When my sister first got me into R&B, she made me listen to you first.

02:11I'm very proud to say that.

02:12Thank you so much.

02:13Lastly, I've got to ask you, who's a woman on your playlist that you can't stop listening

02:16to lately?

02:18The lady of the night, Erykah Badu.

02:20Oh, Erykah Badu and iKon.

02:22The iKon.

02:23The iKon award recipient.

02:24So talented.

02:25Oh my gosh.

02:26Yes, absolutely.

02:27Absolutely.

02:28She's spiritual.

02:29She speaks to the heart a lot like you and your music, too, which is incredible.

02:31Yeah.

02:33Thank you so much, Summer.

02:34It's so good to catch up with you.

02:35Nice to meet you guys.

02:36Nice to meet you as well.

02:37We'll catch you in there.

02:38Have a great night.

02:39Thank you so much.
