Because I was exhausted. Again, frankly, honestly, I was just exhausted. I was like, I don't want to talk to nobody. Y'all can keep talking. I'm going to be sitting over here resting my vocal cords.

And from that moment, it was like, look, okay, let's figure out, like, how do we open up our contact lists and find the white women who have these enormous platforms? And how do we get them off of there? How do we get them off? That's good. We don't need them saying our thing. How do we get them out, though? But we still want their platform.

And it was amazing to think that all we had to do was ask. Yep. ask the right people who are willing to say, oh, okay, let me just move over. And again, I don't want to pretend like that was an easy thing either, because look, I feel like Instagram or social media platforms are, to some degree, feel even more sacred to people than their own homes. Isn't that interesting?

You'll invite somebody over to your house to look in your fridge much quicker than you would say, oh, go ahead and just say whatever you want on my Instagram. What if they say something crazy? What if they say something you don't like? What if they say something that's offensive? You don't know what that person's going to say. It's like, how scary is that?

The bravery on both sides of this incredible movement that we made of white women being brave and vulnerable enough to say, look, I'm going to get out the way. You're the keys to the house. You just do whatever you want. And then the bravery and tirelessness of Black women who were saying, okay, I'm going to say it one more time.

I'm going to say the truth and I'm going to be unafraid of what people are going to say about me because they don't know me. They might judge me. I'm going to say it anyway. And let me tell you, even for me, right? Somebody who's, I'm out, I'm talking, I'm saying the things. And all of the work that was going into creating this movement was I remember I called Lovey.

It was like, we had told everybody to go online at like noon or something like that. And I swear to you, it was like 1155. And I called Lovey in a panic. And I was like, oh, I forgot. I'm supposed to do it too. I remember that. I totally forgot. I completely forgot. Somehow that completely escaped me. And then I was just like, how am I going to do that? I'm so tired.
