Why does Bozoma advocate for self-pep talks?
So question. First question. Yes. Glennon. Yes. Are you still being an African auntie? Are you checking your WhatsApp?
I don't check WhatsApp anymore.
I'm very, very disappointed. Because Lovey and I taught you about WhatsApp and the importance of it. If you were going to be a true African auntie, you have to check your WhatsApp because that's how the messages come. And I sent you a video from this morning. Wait, hold on. Let me see if I can just play it here so you can see it. Maybe you won't hear the sound. This was critical this morning. It was God talking to me this morning. Okay. What did God say to you? God said this. Can you kind of see? God said. It's my mother. What? And her shirt says I can do hard things.
No way.
This morning? This morning. I came in from the gym and she was in the kitchen. And she was dancing around, wearing a shirt that said, I can do hard things. And I looked at her and I was just like, where did that come from? And she was like, oh, do you like it? I was like, why did you do that? And she was like, oh, this is just a shirt. I just put it on. We both freaked out when I told her what was going on today. Oh, my gosh. So I sent it to you on WhatsApp and look at you. You missed the message.
Destined.
I know it was destined because we have been so delighted all morning because we knew we were about to see your face and we haven't seen you for a while. I know. I miss both of you so much.

And I want to answer their questions, but I am not really in the workforce. I am mostly in the bathtub. Confirmed. Right. So we,
Decided, Abby and I, that there really couldn't be any more qualified human being on the earth.

Welcome.
Do you listen to your bio and say, what is my life? What did I do? What?
Yeah. All of that. All of that. Yes. Yes. I am also in awe. It's amazing. All the things. It doesn't actually make sense because the stats are not in my favor and have never been. And so it is. Yes. It strikes me as awe inspiring, too. Yeah. Honey, do you remember the first time we met? Of course.
We met those. Yeah. On the Together Twitch. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. I walked into your room and you were already there. I told Abby this morning, the first thing I noticed about you was your clothes. Abby said, is it okay to say that? Is that objectifying? And I was like, I don't know. It's both.
