- I want to ask y'all how y'all,
but I canceled that question fo.
And y'all should too.
Stop being in people business.
We been through too much, okay?
You ask somebody how they doing you liable to hear
some stuff you don't wanna hear.
You ask me how I'm doing,
I'm like, sit down how much tim?
If you see somebody compliment them only, okay?
Even if you gotta make it up.
Make it up, be like, "I see you out here breathing, okay!"
"I see you out here putting one foot in front of the other!"
Yes!
We been through too much man, we been through too much.
There's a lot going on, things are different now.
We playing by different rules, ?
Like I'm gonna miss calling up my friend and being like,
"Hey, who all there?"
And they like, "everybody, come"
You know?
Now it's different, you call thd
"who all there?"
"Everybody."
You like, "Everybody? That don't sound safe.
I'mma stay home."
I just knew when outside opened, I was gonna outside
like I never outside before, yo?
I found myself in a bed, in a fetal position.
I was like, "Okay. PTSD is real"
It is real.
I had COVID, I don't have it an.
I got to say that.
People get weird when you say t,
you be like, "hey I have Covid."
They'd be like, "ooh really, wo"
I don't have, I had it last sum.
And I had no symptoms, so nobod.
Covid was more embarrassing than sickly for me.
When people found out I had COVID it was like, makes sense.
They said, stay home.
People started treating me diff.
They started untagging me on Facebook and they was like,
"We just, we can't be associate.
We can't be associated."
It was embarrassing.
I felt like I had to take a public walk of shame.
I'm calling my family members up like I got an STD.
I'm on the phone, like "yeah, grandma remember last
Friday night?
Grandma go get tested, go get td
and call all your partners.
Call all your partners."
I'll never forget my grandma's .
She was like, "Jesus is my COVI"
I was like, "oh, that's definity
how you get Covid, definitely."
That's not how this one works.
It was hard, man.
Cause I'm originally from Atlan,
(crowd cheering)
ATL Hoe, okay!
We about to fight, let's go!
But I live here in New York and it was the complete
opposite, we was in New York, New York was shut down.
It was like close your vents, yo
get it from the rats.
It was intense.
Meanwhile, back home in Atlanta,
they having baby showers, birthday parties, strippers,
everything but school was open!
But then I found out I had the ,
And I was like, "well, let me go to Atlanta, let me go!"
I got excited, I was like power.
I booked a trip to Ghana, Jamaica, Mexico, I was like,
"God showers me, we out!
Let's go!"
It was a tragic time, but my frequent flyer miles said
otherwise!
I was like, "should I tweet abo"
No, I still had a hard time.
I did, I had a hard time.
I found myself in the bathtub, crying with the shower
running over my head.
Yeah, that's when I knew I was .
When I got my hair wet.
Ooh I was like, "you sad for re"
People was like, you should go see somebody.
Get your hair wet is like a relapse in the black community.
Very tragic.
I knew I things weren't okay when I would go to
the grocery store and the line e
wrapped around the corner and
I'd be like, "ooh, I ain't that"
And I'll go home.
But that same line be wrapped around a liquor store,
And I'm like, "well, let me get to know my community."
Let me see who all out here,
I see you all out here breathin!
What's up?
Okay!
I see you all drinking, let's g!
You stand in that liquor line l,
you need to see somebody,
you need to see somebody.
So I did, I started therapy.
Go get therapy.
Go get therapy y'all.
Let me tell you, go get therapy because I've never
masturbated so much in my life.
Listen, I'm masturbating to the point where I'm like,
"I don't think I give myself this much consent."
Like should I turn myself in?
This feels like a crime!
I started therapy, I love my th.
I love my therapist, I can't really brag about her
cause she white.
Yeah, white women y'all not really in style right now.
Y'all not really trending, but I love my white therapist.
She real chill, laid back.
I can tell she eat tree barks, she one of them.
And I had to make sure she didn't vote for Trump.
That was a whole scene, oh my g.
Up top I asked her, I was like, "did you vote for Trump?"
She hit me with the, "oh my gaaah, whaaat?"
I was like, "yes or no Sherry, "
She was like "no way!"
I was like, "all right, I'll see you next week, ally."
Tell your friends they trash.
I know me and my therapists are a great fit
because we're both unprofession.
I tell her, I love her.
My friends are like, "I don't tk
you're supposed to do that."
But my therapist would be laughing during my sessions.
I'm like, "I don't think you're supposed to do that."
She'd be cracking up during our,
She's like, "Aminah, you're just naturally funny.
You're just naturally funny."
I'm like, "I'm naturally get paid for this.
One more giggle, we even, all r?
You came to work, I came to wor.
Gimme my $25 back Sherry, give me my $25 back."
Give me my money back.
My friends are happy that I'm i.
My friends are excited.
I can tell when I call them, I'm trying to vent,
talk to them about my problems.
They get straight to it, they b,
"well, what did your therapist say about this?"
I be like, "don't be cheatin, don't be a lazy friend,
you know, I need a second opinion, she's white."
I had to, I had to go to therap.
I had to get my life together, I'm raising a kid.
Yeah.
(audience cheering)
Y'all see these abs, y'all can clap louder than that.
(audience screaming)
Oh my God, it was rough during .
A lot of people, was laughing at the parents
cause we had to be home with ou.
It's not funny.
It was too much,
I had to watch my son lose all his respect for me.
I could tell he lost respect for me by his questions.
One day he asked me, he was lik,
"Mommy, do you think you're laz"
I was like, oh, he definitely don't respect you.
He definitely, he don't respect.
It was a follow up, he was like,
"Do you sleep like a koala bear"
I had to Google what a koala bear slept like.
Now I'm coming back like, "I don't sleep for 18 hours,
Shut up."
Like he lost all respect.
I think he think we equals now.
I think he thinks we're friends.
Cause every time I was doing so,
he thought we was doing somethi.
I'll be on the phone, he pull u,
"Who we talking to?
Tell him I said, 'Hey, what's u"
I'm watching TV,
he like "What we watching, Housewives of Atlanta?
Let me see."
I hate that he knew.
But then I'll be cooking in then
and he still watching TV.
I'm like, "where you at friend?
come get these dishes
come get these dishes!"
The schools closed, I lost it, ?
And everybody was arguing on Tw.
Like "save the kids, close to s"
I'm like, "no, save me.
All right?"
Let me tell y'all something, schools are places
we send our kids so we can havey
to blame for who they become.
I don't want my son walking around, singing the lyrics to
Megan Thee Stallion right now.
I'm like, I don't know where he got that from.
My son walkin around talking about he a savage.
Classy, bougie, ratchet, he know the choreo.
I'm like, you know what?
Let's go get manis and pedis, they did this to us.
