Now we're going to check in real quick behind the scenes of the grind. And I am really, really excited. I am here in Miami experiencing the accelerate her conference for the very first time ever. And I, I'm just really happy that I decided to come. It almost didn't happen because I thought, you know, I couldn't get out of work this week. And just being out of studio and not being in the studio when it comes to breakfast club, I try to prioritize that. And then all of the, you know, the rich aunties, the OGs, called me and was like, girl, what is wrong with you? You need to be in this room. And I'm so happy that I made it down here. I'm going to be bringing you guys some audio from my experience here, so stay tuned. But what I'm gathering thus far is, you know, the, the global leadership Conference, because it's not just a gathering of all of the beautiful and most powerful black women in the world. It is a leadership conference. So you're learning. What I'm learning is that as you walk into these new rooms, it is very important to have tribe. And your tribe can look like people that have been in your life from the very beginning of your life, people that you met along the way who were there before, a lot of the things that you're walking into, but also people that you met who are doing, doing more, doing even the same as you that you meet while you're doing these things. People have so many conversations about women and, you know, the competition with us and there only being room for one and being lonely at the top. And I'm meeting mad women down here who they're doing it all. They got the Family, they got the, the coin, the investments, the big jobs, like they eating it up. So I am inspired and I'm going to be talking about this so you guys will be too. So let's get on into the latest now. I have a special guest here with me on the latest today and my special guest is here because I, I talked about this on the Breakfast Club some days ago. She is, you know, on the other side of this Chris Brown Usher tour conversation. So we talked a bit about Chris Brown responding to critics who had something to say about people going out to support his tour. So what he, here's what he had to say. The funniest and weirdest shit ever to me is the fact that people have option to come to my tour and the option not to. I know everyone who was a fan of me and Usher will definitely be in the building and it will be packed just like last year. Then he continues. But I'm scrolling through instant tick tock and I come across rage bait pages or these fake woke stand up for nothing pages bashing people for wanting to come out and have a good time. The dude's hating and I can understand that thinking we're gonna steal your girl. But the Karens and the self faith and hoes be making me laugh. I can't wait to rub this in your face. And then he put three laughing emojis right now. This tour is kicking off in the next month or so. They're headed to like it's like over 30 cities that they're hitting. I mean it's Chris Brown and Usher. I have seen Chris Brown in performance and it's breathtaking. And I've also seen Usher twice. I saw Usher at the Vegas residency which was like, it was a. I've never experienced showmanship like that and just the way he is on stage. And I also got to experience the tour version of that show when he did his tour and he was giving the cherries and doing all the things. Now my guest on today's episode is not one of the self hating hoes that are on TikTok. She is on the side of getting a little pushback because she's going to the tour and she's a Chris Brown fan and she got a man. Welcome to the episode. Our editor, I talk about her all the time. Ms. Taylor made it.
