00:00No, what the f**k? That's false.
00:03It was Craigslist.
00:04Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:14Lyrics first, honey.
00:24Actually, it was about that time at first.
00:27I was like, it's about that time,
00:29which is a very like black phrase.
00:33It's like, it's about that time.
00:36It's one of them things that, you know, we just say when
00:40it's bad to clock. It's about that time.
00:42Like, let's try to make that change.
00:44Then from there on, it was like, well, that's the title of the song.
00:52Whoa. Hmm.
00:55False.
00:58I do not have Chris Evans's phone number, but.
01:02I have something better than that.
01:04The reason I'm upset about this one is because I know
01:08I'm not going to be able to marry him.
01:10And honestly, it hurts me to the core because damn Papa, he a rare breed.
01:18True. Her name is Sasha.
01:22Baron Cohen. I'm just kidding.
01:23Her name is Sasha Flute and
01:27Beyonce's alter ego on stage is Sasha Fierce.
01:31And I felt like this double life between being this concert
01:36flautist and being a rapper, especially when I was in college.
01:39I was like, do I go to the Paris Conservatory?
01:42Do I study flute or do I stay up late at night
01:46and perform and rap and do shows?
01:48All the rumors are true.
01:50Yeah, what you heard, that's true.
01:52I brought the flute back out when she started to come out.
01:55She was my alter ego.
01:58But now I get to kind of combine them just like Beyonce did with Sasha Fierce.
02:03And now we are one.
02:04Follow Sasha be fluting.
02:05She does all the giveaways for tickets to shows.
02:19True. Very true.
02:22Because I feel like.
02:27Three years ago, if I had,
02:31you know, to guess who I would be in 2022,
02:35you know, it wouldn't be this person.
02:37It's not what I expected.
02:39I don't think it's what anybody expected,
02:41but I also feel like I deserve to celebrate her.
02:44So I am a completely changed woman.
02:52No, what the that's false.
02:59It was Craigslist.
03:02I saw looking for a singer on Craigslist.
03:06And at the time I was me and my friend at the time,
03:12we were both we were a rap duo.
03:14And I was like, let's just go and do this audition and tell them that we sing.
03:19But when we show up, we'll just rap and they'll fall in love with us.
03:23Who can say no to us?
03:24And my friend fell out with me back then.
03:27And it was just me.
03:28And I was really sad.
03:29But I was like, I'm still going to go to this audition.
03:32And I went and I was like, no one here knows who I am.
03:35No one here knows that I can't sing.
03:38So I'm going to sing.
03:40And I sang and they loved it.
03:42And the rest is history.
03:44I became a singer.
03:47Don't be putting me on the spot like this.
03:51Our band name was Ellipses.
03:56True.
03:57When I was a baby, my name is Melissa and my brother would call me Mijita.
04:03And my auntie Carmen turned that into Yeti.
04:06She said, are you saying Yeti?
04:10And she thought that was the funniest in the world.
04:13And it just kind of turned into its own thing where my nickname was Yeti.
04:18I decided to name my shapewear line after Yeti
04:22in honor of my auntie Carmen, who gave me the name
04:26a beautiful, confident, stylish and sharp woman
04:31who is my favorite person on the planet.
04:37Now, way too many is an opinion, so it can't be true or false.
04:42But I do have a lot of tiny bags.
04:44I have a lot of tiny, itty bitty micro bags.
04:48Where the hell is my wine at?
04:53Oh, God.
04:54I popped onto the scene with that little tiny bag.
04:57I had so much in that bag. Everybody was hating on me.
04:59I had my hairbrush.
05:00I had a lipstick, Doritos Tacos Locos from Taco Bell.
05:04I had so much in that damn little bag.
05:05Y'all was hating on me. It was a magical bag.
05:12True ish, because
05:17I don't think that there's a final step in my self-love journey.
05:21I think like my hair was the final
05:24step in me kind of accepting myself physically
05:29because it's like my rolls, my belly, my ass, my
05:35teeth, my chin,
05:39my arms, all of these things that I was like,
05:44I overcame my hatred for or my dislike of
05:49and I started to love them and appreciate them.
05:51But not my hair.
05:53And I think like on a physical level, my hair, once I embraced my hair,
05:57I was like, I am my final form.
06:09True. I told a lie.
06:13I don't have anything better than Chris Evans phone number.
