| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. |
| 0:12.9 | And we are continuing our conversation with Mayada, the musician extraordinaire. |
| 0:18.5 | She's just a great energy. |
| 0:20.0 | It was a pleasure talking to her. |
| 0:21.6 | And we dive a little bit in on her personal story, but how as a creative she centers joy |
| 0:26.8 | in a business that can be anything but for many, many people. So let's jump back in our |
| 0:32.9 | conversation with Mayada and hear all about how she centers joy in her progression of relationship. |
| 0:43.8 | All right. Welcome back, everyone. Mayada's cracking me up here. We're back this week with Mayata |
