We're all my children at a light like we're on in the synonym but steady striving to do right my people the warriors

All we know is the fight, free of shake, God and everything got right to you

Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of On One With Angela Rye. Today I'm doing a dual podcast with this moment

hosted by influential music artist Jason, Diakite and internationally renowned chef Marcus Samuelson. We discussed the new Biden administration, the power of black women, what unifying the country looks like and of course cooking. For those that don't know I'm a huge fan of chef Marcus's restaurant, Red Rooster in New York so I definitely had to make sure he gave me some culinary advice. Let's get into it.

Tell us like both where you at like geographically but also spiritually and mentally in this moment.

I love that question. So I'm in LA physically. I feel like I am more present in my body than I've ever been. I started doing this like detox.

Marcus that you may or may not like shout out to Red Rooster by the way I got a story. But I've been doing this detox and I took a major break for Thanksgiving and I was like dang I don't know if I'm able to get back to it.

But I really have been able to so just over the last couple of days doing like a juice cleanse but with the I say he ball because I need something to chew.

We're talking in no sugar and no sugar no like all that food that you know. Yeah, like none of it and it's just been good because what happened was when I started going through this cleanse process with Queen of food by the way who I love shout out to Queen of food.

I just wanted to be more focused on like purpose and mission and not so distracted by food. I feel like sometimes that can be the case especially during COVID like black folks are going to go to comfort right in the food.

The comfort is in the food. So I was like you know what I got to do some different around here because I can't fit my stretch man. Now you know it gets bad when you can't fit the stretch man.

I don't believe you. I don't believe you forgot you know you share a lot on Instagram.

Believe me. It was a whole problem. So that happened and it really felt more like it just felt spiritual and I just feel I feel good.

I want to go back and say talk about this moment because I feel like there's a couple of people in the world that we need to say thank you to because everything that happened in the election.

And you're one of the state Abraham is another one to make a malroy is another one.

And of course, Kamala now is going to be sent out to a world not just in him. She's not the American vice president only first black Asian American and African American to the world.

But that doesn't happen in the silo. I don't think any of this happens without the grind that they say Abraham did to make a malroy did and Angela right you are in that group and I I live in New York.

I see it mean more wife we root for you every day when you come back and battle on CNN. And now the world's going to find out because it's changed politics forever.

How you you're tired or you excited. You know, how do you feel post election?

Wow, so probably a little bit of both. But first I really feel like I need to give and pay homage to my leaders like it is an honor for me to be able to speak and use my voice, but there are so many people that put their bodies on the line every single day.

Some of those folks are sisters who are also in journalism and some way others are on the ground and the people that come to mind in particular are Britney Pacnack cutting him who's a commentator but more than a commentator she's also an activist and just started a new podcast.

Sonny Austin who of course is on the few but illegal mind who is brilliant and hilarious her book is right here. I'm about to name some of the people whose books are right there.
