ok first KELLY'S HAIR IS GORGEOUS and the FIT IS FITTING!! but honestly it takes mad courage to restart everything. huge applause to kelly!
THANK YOU
@@senpaistamps I agree.
💯💯💯
I miss her other hairstyle…
@@taraquinch1256same i thought it was a different person
Kelly seems very self actualized, healthy and whole. It’s refreshing.
Completly agree. What an honour for us to witness such a beautiful woman of coulour maturing and growing into her own. ❤ real freedom is living life on your own terms no amount of wealth or power can make that. 🎉
Being a Black woman is really rough. Kelly isn’t wrong about that. I’m older than she is but experienced my share of confusion when people judged me for doing things not traditionally connected to the Black experience. We shouldn’t be limited to less fun, adventures and experiences because we are not deemed worthy. I’m impressed by Kelly and don’t think she should delete the original channel. Let it keep making her money while she celebrates God now.
Same. I grew up in a black neighborhood, a black school, and mostly black church and I didn't fit in because I did not fit a stereotype.
@@Elanasinterlude But everyone else did? We're individual including the black people you grow up around.
it is not rough due to your skin... your skin does not matter. You make it matter focusing on it as a insecurity. everybody has a difficult life. coming from a"black" guy, who isnt concerned with the pre conceptions of being "black" ...just live your life
@@anabali6301😂 I immediately thought this! The generalizations that come out of ISOLATION is wild!
@@TheMightyWalk You’re thee worst type of GASLIGHTER “it is not rough due to your skin... your skin does not matter”- said NO Blk American,ever! 😂😂😂😂 You’re DEFINITELY not American. You need to read up on American history FAST! And while you’re at it, read up on current historical facts being Blk in America.
I remember praying for Kelly before the big blow up of her channel. I knew she would be effective at sharing the Gospel if God had her heart. Now look. Beautiful, happy, and UNBOTHERED, living for jesus, what an inspiration!!
Thank you for praying!!
@@senpaistamps Amen! 🙏🏿 ❤️ ✝️
@@Speakinghonestly please tell me you're not that ignorant and you're just trolling... Like...
I loved you from your previous channel.. and seeing you getting to the Godly side is just so beyond for me, never saw this coming gal... I love you even more and more, God bless you so much my dear.
❤️@@senpaistamps
Oh wow 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
im glad kellys not selling out shes keeping her beliefs and morals
Kelly is a great speaker, spectacular
Kelly Stamps moves based on what she wants and isn't affected nor oppressed by society's standards and racial stereotype , and thats why I love her and still support since 2020
She is spitting so many truths in this video. From the different perspectives and interests of black women to expectations of society either through work culture or social status.
❤❤❤❤
This is amazing. I stopped watching Kelly Stamps after her massive blow up (probably after 200k+ subs) hearing her rediscover her faith and connect more with herself and discover what held her back in life made me want to follow her again. She is so confident and looks beautiful and happier now.
Why did you stop watching her originally? Did something happen or?
Personally, I stopped watching her within the last year or so. I am guilty of finding her because of the "How to blow up on RUclips" type video. But I was looking at a lot of different business models back then. And I stayed a fan because of her personality and bit of a gypsy lifestyle. I think she is relatable because she is a bit quirky and the dry sarcastic humor and the moving around a lot. I absolutely love Kelly! ❤ But I could tell she was unhappy and I was not in a place where I could watch unhappy people, and so I was turning to more Christian influencers so I stopped watching Kelly and didn't even know she changed her content to what I actually wanted all along!!!! ❤
Love you Kelly!!! ❤ I have already subscribed to your new channel and am looking forward to this new journey with you! 🥰
@@LadyOO I think it was more so I outgrew her content, it was more geared towards “how to blow up on RUclips ” and “I’m rich look how much I made on Adsense and you can do it too” I just wasn’t her niche anymore
@@natashaadams4060 this exactly >
Agreed! I started to feel so disconnected and she started to come off as brash to me in some of her old channel takes. I love this side of her where she's being more authentically true to herself by leaning on her faith. She is such a light. I love to see it.
Was NOT expecting this collab but I’m here for it
I love her, cool channel cool vid
@@KYYYTISZAI facts
It is so lovely to see Kelly wholly embrace her true nature. She seems to have “grown up” through her first channel. This happened to me as a young artist. I blew up as a photographer on MySpace before I really evolved into womanhood and felt myself constantly trying to keep up with an image.
In a much better place nowadays.
Cheers to just being yourself!
Always loved Kelly Stamps and now I find she’s a Christian?! Praise the Lord, bless her ❤️
Kelly has always been so well spoken. I love her for her heart more than anything. More people like her are needed in this world ❤❤
Eric you are the best interviewer on this platform, hand down.I've never seen someone flow so effortlessly in conversation with each and every guest they have on! This podcast needs to blow up, seriously.
Awww thanks 🥰
First time watching this channel and I agree his interviewing skills are excellent.
I have always loved how true to herself she has always been... it's always been a breath of fresh air, and trust me, there are people that genuinely care. I understand how transactional all of this can feel, but there are definitely people out there that get it ❤
I remember I used to watch a lot of her videos,she made a comment, something existential-esque, and I thought to my self, Jesus Christ is the answer
I forgot what the comment was, and I remember wistfully thinking, I hope she can have a complete life in Christ one day…How overjoyed I am to find out she is now my sister in Christ!!! God is the ultimate answer to ALL things!
I really enjoyed this interview. Kelly Stamps is one of my favorite RUclipsrs, and I love being able to witness her remarkable evolution over the years. Her commitment to authenticity has been so inspiring. I was also curious about what happened to Best dressed because she had amazing content, but now I understand why she quit RUclips. 😕This just shows that we should all strive to cultivate kindness online, refraining from projecting our insecurities onto strangers. Remember, these individuals are human, and kindness comes at no cost. Great job Kelly. Sending you hugs and positivity.❤
But for this video, I had no idea Kelly was a Christian or had a 2nd Channel. I am so happy to know this. Kelly you look amazing and the hair is giving what it's supposed to give. You look so beautiful, feminine and stylish!
Thanks Karat for this great interview! New subbie.
thank you! you might also enjoy the ur mom ashley, your rich bff, or zoeunlimited pods if you liked this one!
@@trykarat I'll definitely take a look at all. Thanks!
Thats CRAZY that she brought up Bestdressed because I've been missing her and wondering why she doesn't make youtube content anymore. 😩 But I get it people are miserable.
Timestamp pls ?
Seeing Kelly now... I am speechless. The transition, the growth, the growing out of.... Kelly well done. Well done to you because for us who want to be in it and are not IN IT!
We do not realize the mental, physical, and emotional danger that you face. Cause simplified, you are a young black woman who loves the camera in YOUR OWN SPACE, sharing your creativity with strangers who in turn can be harmful to you.... phhhhheeeeeeewwww. This interview is real
Kelly Stamps is such an inspiration 🤩
Wow this is one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a while. Eric’s questions were not only thoughtful but his takes and perspectives made the conversation even more engaging. Loved it!! There’s another RUclipsr I love and support, Sade Watkins. She too went through something similar Kelly is going through right now. It’s honestly crazy how entitled some people are as if they aren’t human. It’s okay to miss certain content but I wish more people understood that people change and you don’t have to like it. There was someone who even went as far as to post a video talking about
”what happened to her." I found it absurd because influencers don’t owe us anything and it’s actually a privilege for them share any part of their life with us. We love you Kelly and I’ll always support you! Do as you please whether it be ice skating or praying. & you look beautiful
Kelly eating tiramisu while doing the interview……..iconic.
This was a nice and refreshing interview, nice to see that Kelly is her authentic self and she looks happy and comfortable! 🤍
I really enjoyed watching this from start to finish. Such a natural chemistry between you both. Keep up the good work
We love Kelly! I'm excited for her going with this direction for her channel💖
Really like how chill and relaxed these videos are, you are probably the best podcast interviewer on RUclips rn. You genuinely look into knowing your guests and ask insightful questions. 55:25 I like how even though you aren't religious you were still open to learn more about Stamps' faith and brought up a really good quote
awww thank you!!
it's so much harder to go where YOU feel like going, when people say you shouldn't. it takes courage. thanks for the insightful interview❤
I liked Kelly from the start of the original channel and even now more on her new channel. She is staying true to herself and I applaud her for that.
Thanks for sharing your faith Kelly ❤❤❤
This is a great interview. Thank you. I really enjoy hearing about Kelly's experiences as a successful RUclipsr. It's helpful.
This was such a great interview! I'm here for every version of Kelly Stamps 😌 Also, I need to watch more interviews on this channel. So good!
aww thank you! I really like the Your Rich BFF, ur mom ashley, and zoeunlimited pods too if you're looking for ones similar to this one
This is all so relatable! I needed to see this interview.
The quick kick after rebuking in the name of Jesus (59:00) seriously gives me life! LOOOL!! Kelly, keep saying what needs to be said! I LOVE that you are so open about your faith and relationship with God! Praying that God will use you and your channel in the most affluent way possible! Be you! You will always have my support 100% I just love your personality, you seem so fun! Maintain your resilience and do you boo!
LOL it was such a delayed kick
omg i just noticed the kick ahaha and Kelly's little "pah!"
18:10 this is exactly my perception “as a black woman”. I love doing whatever I want with and around whoever. I don’t let people who look “different” than me stop me. Isn’t diversity and different experiences the goal to learn and grow in this life?? You don’t have to make other people’s perceptions your reality and stop you from having fun.
Here to support Kelly ❤
May God bless you sis and your podcast Karat
This was a kick ass conversation, I love the reliability and the straight FACTS!!!!
Okay, first! Congratulations 🙏❤️ it's so lovely to hear/see you following your heart. You've done great once and you'll do it again, but better 😊 may God continue to bless and keep you, Kelly! 🙏💯
I remember the first time I watched her, she was talking about a horrible date and tiramisu and I fell in love with her sense of humor
I loved this interview! So good to get into the nitty gritty. I appreciate the honesty about what blowing up changes when you are out in the world.
The “that’s for white people” comment got me because I’ve heard stuff like that growing all time. I got “you sound white” and some of my family assumed I was going to come home with a white bf. I never realized, at least, I remember not ever getting an apology from a parent. But some black house holds have stubborn parents, they think you having an ounce of emotion in your voice, it’s assumed as an attitude when in reality the parent doesn’t realize that they hurt their child’s feelings.
I liked watching Kelly stamps before and I'm soo excited for this new journey of yours !! ❤❤❤
Hey Professor🎉 Thanks for showing us how it's done!❤
I’m sorry for your loss Kelly, I didn’t get to watch the video where you shared that happening. I’m sorry my love. Please accept my apologies, and a hug from me to you!
wow love this interview
Love this video so far! Will put pause and come back to it to listen to the whole thing ☺️
This was the most relateable podcast I've ever watched ❤ There are so many parallels between mine and Kelly's life. I'm also in a very similar season when it comes to content to. This was definitely confirmation to take steps in the right direction.
Love this! We need more Christians to speak out and use their platforms to bring more people to Christ. Whenever you’re in Georgia Im always open to hang out without a camera 😂
Great interview! I have watched Kelly's videos for years now and I find her really inspiring. I also relate to her growth into a more devout Christian as I am doing the same, especially in the past year. God bless!
I prayed this for her. I'm so glad it's actually happening ❤
Such an amazing interview! Was a brilliant experience listening in
What an amazing and insightful interview. Truly respect Kelly so much, love how she approaches life to align with her truth. It’s been an encouragement for me to live more closely to my own truth and turning more to the Word from God 💖
Excellent interviewer skills, really enjoyed the questions and dialogue.
TOO many truths in this video and such great conversation!!
I really loved this interview with Kelly. Shout out to you both.
Fantastic interview, TY!
This hair is absolutely GORGEOUS on Kelly! 😩❤❤❤
Kelly Stamps can make a channel about anything and I’m going over there to support. Super happy for her and proud of her.
I love Kelly ! She’s so authentic and that’s my favorite thing
Great and thoughtful interview! Thanks for the content!
Love all her videos , old and new , growth and change , ups and downs , Real 🙌
NO FREAKIBF WAYYY! Two of my favorite people being at the same interview! Thannksss man for this dope episode
Great interview, go Kelly!!
I am so glad for Kelly, I hope my son will understand that from early age and build Christ-like character and be gooooood influencer! our journey started too! Best regards to Kelly!
What a great interview! Totally relateable just the real realness. thank you for sharing this!
Great interview!
So good! Thank you for this
so real. Loved this episode
STAMPEDE GANG 😮💨😮💨😮💨!!! Loved this interview. Great job 🥳
Kelly looks so beautiful!! as always but she’s really glowing here!
Am I the only person that thinks Kelly looks like Aisha Tyler's baby Sis 😅
I didn't expect this pod to pop up on my recc's but I watched anyway since I watched Stamps way back when. Part of the reason why I've stayed private online or veered from creating content was due to some of the ways people start seeing and commodyfying your existence based on that content. I've created content and released some regardless (video game mods and software) but with intention of putting work out that I was proud of. Sure, I've gotten praise and positivity sent my way but keeping up with the feedback, suggestions, and critique has grown tiring, and has made me afraid to continue interacting with the communities that I've made content for. However, the discussion around creating content that attracts a healthier fan base, recognizing when people who only want to take advantage of your skills and success, and setting clear boundaries between you and your fanbase has me rethink my relationship with my content and has made me put serious thought into creating content again, but with a more informed approach. Thank you for this!
You can’t reason your way to faith - LOVE that 👏🏽
Excellent interview ❤
Kelly is so spirit filled ! thank you for letting tthe Lord speak through in this interview !
I am a Black American man who played ice hockey and continues to love and play ice hockey the part where she talked about her experience at a ice rink resonated with me.
Love the idea to create an agency that's friendly to Christians 😍get it girl!!!
This is an amazing interview!
Love love loved this interview! Go guys!
Love this video! keep doing what yur doing girl!
This is such a good interview!
Always loved her vibe and humour, and was a little disappointed to find her ig deactivated one day. But I get it now. A lot of y'all are genuine weirdos lol. Stay safe Kelly!
Kelly is a true gem!! Friends are so rare these days because you don’t know other motives. So grateful for my friendships and siblings (also my friends!)
Love this interview. God bless her and her standing in her truth! I was nodding my head and agreeing so much with her. We are all HUMANS at the end of the day, treat people with respect and treat them with dignity. Crazy we have to let people know that. Always funny as well. And you as a interviewer Karat (Idk your name) are very talented and kind, very respectful as well.
I just love me some Kelly Stamps! This was a great interview. And now I'm subbing to Karat bc the way this flowed, I've got watch more.
This is actually very substantial. Kelly really knows how to think and what to actually care about. Kudos Kelly and Karat
Honestly in 2020, i had started creating videos for just a year and stopped, i wasnt feeling it that much. So all this time i was thinking of serving God through my channel but was still proscanating about it even though my spirit says YES.
After watching this, am so moved already.
God bless you
Great interview 👍
Dangggg I’m feeling this hair style from Kelly!
1:04 that analogy is DEEP, and shows what a good host and active listener you are, Eric! I'd like to interview some of my creator connections soon, so this is inspiring!
I LOVE HER!! ♥️🖤 luckily for me, I find her relatable no matter what content she puts out or what phase of life she is in
This dude is such a good interviewer
I love love love this interview. Going to check out her new channel
Loved this
Way to go Kelly!
Kelly is a woman of integrity. May God continue to bless her ❤
That sucks to hear about the whole “resources“ thing. The first videos I watched definitely helped me start my RUclips channel but I took off with my own methods and very quickly realized Kelly’s wonderful personality, and that completely outweighed anything about the content for me.
Here from Stamps University!
Wow...Good for her! The reflection, maturity, growth, and fearlessness! Very inspiring! I love that she is proclaiming her walk with God! Stay strong!🤗💛💛💛🙏🏾
omg she looks amazing ❤
Interesting conversation. First time I watched, you are an excellent interviewer😊
Love kelly❤
Her opening statement.......FACTS 🎯🎯🎯
