"…Now we hype each other up all the time on dresses and makeup and bridal parties and colors, and it's her special day. It's all about her. It's her special day. But yet we did not support this young lady in what she chose to do in her special day. A, this is why I can't with the Sisterhood. There is such a lack of authenticity in the Sisterhood. I cannot espouse their beliefs. I just can't. It's a fraudulent network.…"
"…The world has taken submission and made it a dirty word. They've made it a dirty word. But like I was explaining, because I'm dating right now, I'm single and I'm dating. And so I explained to one gentleman who asked me, because he said I was a strong woman, and I said, yes, I am, because I have to be because I'm single. I said, but when I get into a marriage with my husband, I'm very submissive.…"
"…I mean, the way they dragged her when she first I won't say first came on the scene, but when I first saw her, when she did that video with her husband, and she was wearing, like, the pretty plain Jane bonnet and a couple of pictures with the army fatigue oh, they dragged her. Well, I thought we're supposed to leave toxic relationships. I thought we supposed to you don't have to take it.…"
"…As far as, like, I know, the same lady said that she tends to hang with men. I just don't think that it's the same men. The female friends that I have, they are great friends, but I can't call on them. When my brother passed, they didn't call me and try to make sure I was good. Maybe there's just a type of men that I have that I quote, unquote, call friends.…"
"…Or even gas money to get back and forth from the hospital and the hospice when she was sick, her sister crew and my sister crew came together. And honestly, because my sister and I are only a year and four months apart, her friends really are my friends and vice versa. But, yeah, that circle was there with ideas that I had not come up with, served at my sister's memorial.…"
"…I know you said you found it beautiful and maybe in her way, your way, whoever's way, but for me, it's not about necessarily what I'm going to do or going to say, but it's more like I'm more like a one on one person.…"
"…You. Hey, Ange, thank you so much for responding. And thank you for appreciating that. I do always try to throw a little humor in there when I can, just to keep it light so it doesn't get too heavy. But thank you so much also for the condolences. And likewise, my condolences to you for the loss of your sister most recently, and then the loss of your brother. It is hard, and that could be a whole nother swell for another time.…"
"…And I think people that's authentic, when you run into that person, and there may be some ups and downs, not saying everything with a girlfriend relationship is going to be perfect. However, the authentic relationships with authentic people last so long, like, a lifetime. And I definitely agree with what you said, authentic. I can't do it either, and I'm okay with that. I am clearly okay with that.…"
"…You. Well, I love your swell cast. I just wanted to respond to why you cannot with the sisterhood. Well, on the other side of that, I don't subscribe to the brotherhood, and I don't subscribe to the brotherhood for probably the same reasons why. Um, I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It's a big city, and I have a few problems. And I know one of the problems I have is that disrespect factor, okay?…"
