0:00.0 | All right. I'm ready. Hi, guys. Welcome to this episode of Keviet Positive, sweetie. And today, |
0:20.9 | guess what we're talking about? This offline. Yes, I am. I'm trying to hone in on my |
0:28.1 | soft life. And recently, this term was coined. And I feel it derived from black |
0:35.2 | women who are tired. We're tired. We are tired of doing everything by ourselves, |
0:40.3 | especially black women. We are, we do everything. We hold everybody up. We single |
0:47.1 | black women. I have to do everything by myself. I have to do the thing that has to |

1:50.0 | can take it back to slavery where the black woman had to keep the family lifted, had to |
1:57.2 | hold everything down. The man would leave. The man would get killed. It was so many different |

2:06.6 | supposed to do. You're supposed to hold it down while he's out working. You need to |
