I don't even know what this is, but it sounds like birds and drums.
So it's great here on 92.7 FM, your two is in to the Black Conversion show with your
girl Brandy Graystein, and also sounds kind of like you high or something.
Like you should be high with this top spot, that is it.
If you don't know Anderson Park, check out Anderson Park because he is tremendous, he is an excellent
musician. He both plays the drums and sings.
I like it.
And he's amazing.
It's the flute, it's the birds and the drums, it's kind of funky, ain't it calling?
Oh yeah.
Yeah, it's kind of funky.
It's like you high and you're sitting and watching the birds in the backyard, and this is
good music.
I'm gonna look him up.
Well, and how many shops, how many THC shops do we have on stage tonight now?
A lot.
A lot.
So I'm gonna go stop at one and give me some tea.
I think they have one right down the street from the overture center where you can get like
the tea.
I'm telling you, what is that called?
T-C-T?
Yeah, they got like tea.
I have no idea.
I think.
I'm just on my cup of tea.
Luke says say no to drugs, even if they say it's not drugs, it's drug-ish.
Okay.
So thank you for tuning back in here on the Black Conversion Show.
We are having a conversation and getting into discovery of the intersectionality of
Black women race and all that gender stuff, at least to misogyny and complicated reactions
or interactions with women and men.
And then our conclusion is, yeah, men kind of hate women.
And a lot of times it's unknowing, unawareness, systems, education, indoctrination.
And then this way of being where men are not really taught or encouraged to get into
discovery of their feelings, like what is going on when you're having a conversation?
What is triggering you?
So one of the things I wanted to talk about is the occupational segregation of Black
women, right?
And what that really means is Black women are disproportionately concentrated in low
pain jobs, right?
And that leads to a way of devaluing women and their labor and how we see women, specifically
Black women.
So a lot of women get kind of moved into jobs like CNA work.
How many Black women, well, Y'all probably don't know as many Black women as me, but you
know, you know Black women, but a lot of folks is like kind of like segregated or moved
into like CNA work and maybe nursing work, but never doctor work.
You feel me or not enough doctor work or not enough high IT work or neuroscience work
or tech work or things like that, but like caregiving work, like case workers, social workers.
And those jobs, if y'all require a master degree, but you don't get paid nothing.
I don't even know why they require a master degree for some of these positions.
Most of it is should be based on experience and lived experience in my perspective, but
that goes back into how we devalue the labor of women.
What are your thoughts around that?
How Black women are kind of moved into these, you know, being segregated through occupations?
Well, I think it's, it's unfortunately true that the Black women have been forced to take
on lower paying roles.
I'm somewhat optimistic because the Black women, I know, as you mentioned earlier, we move
in A.W.
Love getting degrees, you know, and so I think that will ultimately help.
Hey, man.
But you know, it's so funny every time that we figure out the playbook, what happens
in a playbook?
Rules change.
It changes real quick, right?
So now you get to all the degrees and they're like, you know what, we don't need those
anymore.
Did you guys see?
I'm about to digress like I often do here on the, I saw it happening in real time.
I saw the way that that idea came in to Brandy's head and I was like, oh, we're going somewhere.
We're going somewhere else, but did you got, I can't even remember his name, but he's a tennis
player.
He's black.
He's tall.
What is his name?
Do you guys know who I'm talking about?
The one when he talked, and Nadal, I think maybe that's his name, but he was like
walking on air, playing tennis.
Like he was, he was like, he was playing basketball, y'all.
He killed the game and I cannot remember his name.
Is it this one?
Is it Christopher U-Banks?
It's like, I don't know.
I don't know what he bring him up.
I bring him up because they about to change the game for tennis, just like they did for
like Olympics when some, some loans showed up, right?
And she was flipping and they said, oh, those are two challenging and she was getting all
these tens.
This brother did a backhand and was looking the other way.
I said that, and then he like was walking, like literally walking in air like Michael
Jordan with the tennis thing, and then he looked like he's going to hit it hard, and
it with the opposite way.
And the person he was playing with was like, he looks so defeated.
I said.
Well, that's how, I mean, there's going to be some changes.
I think coming in basketball, they already adopted the take fall and the, uh, the, so
Yannis would be able to do these like breakways and then Euro step and then slam dunk from
the three point line.
Oh, wow.
And so two years ago, they adopted the take, but it's because Victor Wembe, and Yannis
and a lot of these guys have changed in the game because they were getting these different
body types that all of a sudden are good playing basketball and they're these lengthy kind
of stretch athletes, but they're, they're also like six, six and taller and 200 plus pounds
of muscle.
And it's like, how do you, yeah, now they're going to change the game.
So anyway, I got that grass.
I digress, y'all, because I was talking about black women, black women.
We, you know what I mean?
We never gave a space and then they tried to change the great game.
I often feel like that about urban triage.
I am the founder and CEO, by the way, um, but I feel like every time we figure something
out, the game change, right?
Like we're the only organization that's part black owned, operated, led, spoke is centered.
That's part of like this homeless consortium system and they've changed the game on the
process.
And now we've messing up because the game changed.
We took us two or three years to get it right.
And now that we're the only ones in there, we were running like numbers, doing really
good.
And then I think they thought that we were cheating our line.
So the game changed.
And now we try to figure it out and we're stumbling.
It's going to take us a while to retrain our staff, but it's just a perfect example.
Have the how things change when black people enter a field or black people generally
speaking or someone who's exceptional, like you said, Yannis, but um, it yeah.
So we got on this because we was talking about black women and degrees and how that stuff,
we don't change it again.
Now you go need, I don't know what you're going to need.
We won't know yet.
And then we'll be like, see, I told you I was going to change the game.
So anyway, I appreciate you joining me for two weeks in a row.
Oh, thanks so much for having me.
It was a good time.
We talked to them.
Covered a lot.
Yeah.
Your mouth dry.
My mouth dry.
My lips dry.
Wait, where's the Vaseline?
I forgot it again.
I forgot it again.
See, Luke is getting used to being around black people and black women.
Okay.
We always try to have Vaseline in our pocket for our lips.
That's very, very, very important.
Moisturization is important for black people.
Okay.
So my, oh, and another thing that I've taught my white people, including say to owns this
radio station, when you hang out with black people, please don't show up at our house
on time.
Okay.
If we say dinners at five, you better be coming at like six.
Okay.
Do not come to my house at five o'clock.
Shout out to my white folks who are adjusting to having black company and being around us.
And if you tell me to come at five, boo, boo, I'm probably be there around six thirty
seven o'clock.
So don't take your personal.
We're just in a different time ward here.
So thank you for tuning in to the black conversion show here on 92.7 FM with your
girl.
Brandy Grayson hostess with the most is in my guess for two weeks in a row.

Oh, y'all remember that name.
The brother gone wrong for president or something.
It's the name for me.
Do y'all hear say it again?
Say it again.
Colin Burrusha.
Yeah, y'all better remember him here on 92.7 FM, peace, love, and hair grease.
