00:00Tell me about not using a stylist and designing this yourself with a Nigerian.
00:04You know what? I just find that nobody knows me better than me.
00:08And I always like to experiment and play and see what's going on.
00:12One second. Diana, just let's take a second.
00:14Let's just take a second. Okay. Just a moment.
00:17You know what I mean? Because she deserves it.
00:19But yeah, I love that. And I also love finding new stylists
00:22and experimenting with all different kinds of people.
00:24And once I met Orange Culture, they were so happy to collaborate
00:28and they really brought the vision together.
00:30So I'm beyond excited to wear them tonight.
00:33And this is a moment overall for black culture and people.
00:35What does it mean to you particularly in this?
00:37I don't know. What else is going to be said?
00:39I mean, like, you don't really have to say anything.
00:41Super fine. You know what I mean?
00:42You really don't have to say much.
00:44You come, you show up feeling good in our skin,
00:47feeling good about who we are, knowing how we contribute.
00:49It's wonderful that it's being celebrated that way.
00:52I also got to tell you, as a dope thief fan,
00:54how's it feeling to be back in any conversation?
00:57I don't know. Like, it's, I don't know.
00:59You just got to be a part of it.
01:00You know how it is. You got to show up, you know?
01:03That's what we do. We show up.
01:05And that's sometimes the hardest part.
01:06And showing up is the best part.
01:08So I'm glad to be here.
01:09Are you showing up to any after parties?
01:11Yeah, there's a lot going on.
01:12I don't really know. I'm so tired.
01:15But maybe.
01:16I'm amongst great people.
01:17So, like, I'm sure I'll be pulled to quite a few.
