- All right. Well, now I wanna go back to another person
we featured this season.
Her name is Jasmine.
She's an associate producer here at the show.
We love her.
And she's the inspiration behind our
"Start The Conversation" campaign.
In which a number of our staff members shared their feelings
about what Black Americans face in this country.
Here's Jasmine's passionate and tear jerking video.
- I'm beyond angry.
I'm beyond hurt.
I'm beyond scared.
I feel so alone because,
I'm stuck in this house and my people are dying,
and I'm scared.
(crying)
And all of my White friends are in my DMs and asking me,
"What can they do?"
what can they...
(crying)
What you can do is in, you know, when this dies down,
when you hear people
saying the horrible things
about black people are continuing to,
to allow your family to have racist mentalities
and ignorant mentalities.
I need you to have the hard conversations.
I need you to, to walk the walk,
cause if you're walking with me now,
I need you to walk with me forever until this is fixed
until it's changed cause I can't do this anymore.
I can't, my heart hurts.
- Okay. So I have to get Jasmine here to share.
What's happened since her video went viral.
What's up Jasmine?
- Hi, how are you?
- Oh my gosh. I haven't really seen
many people from our show,
like from our staff. This is awesome.
- I know I miss you so much.
I hope you're doing good.
- Oh my gosh. I, I'm just excited for like season two,
you know, we're all gonna actually, we might,
it might be weird and everybody,
some people are still rubbed,
but we're getting to at least closer.
So I'm,
I'm very excited.
But season one, it was so great.
- Yeah, we did it.
- Yes we did it.
Hey, I have to tell you, I am so excited.
Obviously you're a part of just recapping what a great
season it was and all these important things that have been
happening. And you starting this whole,
like start the conversation off with our whole staff and,
and, and our show family.
And I mean, what do you want people to take away from?
You know, our start, the conversation campaign.
What do you, what do you hope happens?
- I want people to have the conversation. I want people to,
it's going to be weird and hard and difficult,
but it's things that have to be said.
You have to explain to your family why all lives matter is
completely detrimental to black people.
You have to have these conversations when black people
and people of color are not around.
Because if you're saying that you're for black lives,
that means you're for black lives when we're here.
And when we're not around to you just,
you have to do the right thing, all aspects.
You also have to educate yourself.
You need to read your books like James Baldwin,
The Fire Next Time.
And "So you want to talk about race" by Ijeomo Oluo
You have to educate yourself.
So you have the right words and phrases to open hearts
and get people to understand where everyone is coming from.
This is not a conversation
that you can just have one time and be done.
This is a continuous conversation.
This is an involving conversation and it's,
and it just has to be had as difficult as it is.
- Thank you so much, Jasmine, your voice is important.
Everyone's voice is important.
I'm glad we've started the conversation on the show.
Like I said, this summer,
we're committed to amplifying black voices on this show.
So I'm proud to announce an exciting new campaign
we're kicking off in season two called "Be the difference"
