| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout Podcast, Tully here. And this week we have a very special guest. It's Mayada. She's a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. |
| 0:24.4 | And if the name doesn't ring a bell, her music sure does. |
| 0:27.5 | Because if you listen to this podcast, it is in fact her music. |
| 0:28.3 | It's her song. |
| 0:30.7 | That is our intro and our outro. |
| 0:43.3 | Mayada is from Minneapolis, and she aspires to use her music to make people slow down, find themselves in another perspective, and feel their ways towards individual and collective healing. With an eclectic mix of Neil's soul vocals, foxy guitar, pop-style piano, and trap beats sprinkled in for flavor, she likes to refer to her genre as Black Girl Magic. |
| 0:55.0 | She has been active as a recording artist since 2015, releasing six projects since then. |

| 1:48.7 | of Black Girl burnout. I love her energy. I love who she is. I love the music that she makes. |
| 1:54.9 | It is powerful. It is everything she said it is. It is a way and a form for us to achieve a level of healing. And so |
| 2:04.5 | Mayotte and I are going to talk this week about her inspirations, who she is, where this all came |
| 2:09.6 | from, this journey to musicianship that she's on and creativity and find out a little bit more |
| 2:16.3 | about her and how she centers joy and what journey |
| 2:20.0 | she's currently on today. Everything about the information of her new album is going to be in the |
| 2:25.8 | link. And if you make it through the week, which you almost always do, you amazing listeners, |
