Thank you for all of the love, everyone! Catch you next Monday 11/21 at 6pm EST for Episode Three ❤
Frannnnn you are such a joy to watch and your voice is so soothing. I know you like being behind the scenes but that camera loves you!! And we do toooo.
YES, FRAN! I am so glad you brought up the "If I can do it, you can do it/Pray your way out" crowd. I love watching my people succeed but those comments are tone deaf. And the people who constantly repeat them will make you feel like an ungrateful, ungodly curmudgeon for not wanting to hear them constantly. As Dr. Tykeia put it, we have to be able to zoom out and get the full picture of things to see that we are justified. We are all out here reclaiming our rights to dream and fulfill our own dreams. And we have to respect that it looks different for us all.
And that's the actual dream. The power to choose.
@@heyfranhey Precisely.
Tune in next week for Episode Three of Illuminating Intersectionality hosted by Jade of All Jades. Monday 11/21 at 6pm EST.

Love you right on back
Such an awesome conversation. A big thank you to everyone who has joined in on this critical timely conversation!
Really great conversation! I’ve often thought about the mental costs of the American Dream. I’ve always thought that the pursuance of the American Dream is a scam in a lot of ways. It’s like why must I be a part of a society that presents only the option of working my fingers to the bone just for ease and security? That’s wild. With that in mind, I decided that while I’m pursuing what I deem to be success, I can’t lose myself, my mind or my gentleness. These things have to stay intact because they’re the things that got me to a point anyway so I need these things throughout. Anytime that I’ve felt myself losing my peace and wellness while pursuing success I’ve literally changed paths. Not easy but necessary.
That's it! We've got to learn how to navigate with what we got. Thank you for tuning in. 💙
Y'all look beautiful. The set is beautiful. The conversation is beautiful. Everything is beautiful. Excellent job ladies. Y'all are KILLING it.
Can't wait until we see Jade next week. ❤
Thank you so much for your support ❤
Thank you! Very grateful you see our intention and support it!
Thank you so much! Jade is going to take us even higher!! Cannot wait!
I am loving this content! These topics are very important to our demographic.
Also, I must say, y’all been looking like wealthy, hydrated cousins/aunties and it inspired me to go down to the Burlington nearby and pick up a few odds and ends to put myself together! Whoever styled y’all deserves a shout out ❤️
We styled ourselves ❤️ Thank you for the love!
The hydrated is my fav part lol! Thank you!
Omg my big sisters in my head Keia and Jade I listen to Gettin Grown every week y’all give me hope for just turning 30 and I been listening to y’all for 3 years. You two with Hey Fran Hey are examples of classy cool black womanhood with real topics ❤
Don't forget to tune in on Monday for episode three!
I for one have always felt torn between my calling and what is expected of me. It took me seperating myself from my faith, friends, and relocating for me to even have the freedom to consider my calling. often times the pressures that are set for us by society stems right from our individual communities, and it can be hard to break free. I’m so glad that I watched this video because it is inspiring me to dream again. I am a very talented creative that has a passion for so many things, & watching you ladies put a fire in me to live in my purpose & to pursue my passions. thank you for being the change we all need to see. ❤
Thank you for sharing that. It can be so hard de-programming from what we know. I'm so glad to hear you following those bread crumbs on your own journey. 💙
Another great conversation. I especially enjoyed Essie explain her entrance into the spice business.
And while I don’t have the 1st generation experience, I do understand what it’s like to be the child of parents who “made it out”. It was expected that we would excel in school and sports. That we wouldn’t get into trouble. That we would be as perfect as possible. I thrived in it but it was also very exhausting.
That can be a lot of pressure, thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for supporting. 💙
I get that feeling of it being both helpful (as a motivator) and mentally exhausting.
Whew y’all are sooooo beautiful ❤ I’m loving this series!!!!
Thank you for taking the time out ❤
These conversations are such a blessing. You all are stellar storytellers and just brilliant, very real women. Loving this! This really hit for me, trying find the balance in this rat race.
It's a constant struggle for all of us, especially in the society we live in but know that you're not alone in trying to figure out the balance.
"We get to redefine what success means". Whew 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yet another episode that totally and completely resonated. It can be challenging to walk the line between honoring ourselves and what we know we can do, while also paying homage to the tought decisions and sacrifices of our people. But you did it, seamlessly. This series is amazing, and I'm anxiously waiting the next episode. (While also mourning that it'll be the last in the series. Maybe Target will make this a bigger project. 👀👀)
Thank you for your support, we are going to constantly find ways to have the necessary conversations and we're grateful for a tribe who supports.
Great job Fran!! You ladies looked beautiful. I never noticed that Keia’s voice sounds so much like Maya Angelou.
Thank you so much for watching.
love this so much, thank you for this conversation and perspective. ❤
Thank you for tuning in ❤
Fran, I am always so inspired by your stories and your hosting style. Love you three and this magical collaboration. 👌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so much, Ariel ❤
Yes, magical! Thank you for supporting! Side note: I'm very jealous you got brown hands on youtube comments. Your girl is struggling.
💜🙌💜🙌 amazing job!! Blessings
Thank you!!! Blessings!!!!
This series is so beautifully made❤️💎🙏Thank y’all for creating discussions of wisdom, empowerment and motivation for us!
I sincerely appreciate your words 🙏🏽
I’m literally going through this now…. I’m making my goals for the year and I’m trying to tap into why it’s a goal for me …. How do I want to feel and are any of my goals just me putting unnecessary pressure on myself
And the goals and needs will continue to change. I'm learning to make room for them all.
We owe our mental health that type of deep reflection.
This lighting and setting truly highlights y’all’s beauty
You know that’s my fav compliment 🌸
AMAZING STUFF! Love you all x
Love you both!!!!
The family 💙
Great food for thought!! I’m really enjoying the collaboration 😊
Thank you so much ❤
GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU
Yesss, come thru Friend Zone!
ah the anecdotes were on point! definitely a fan of fran
Thank you ❤❤❤
Per usual, ❤yall hit the nail on the head on all subjects, particularly around the stereotype of African Americans which stood out to me. Though it was triggering for me as an African American from NYC, I love that yall brought it up and it is a VERY necessary conversation to have❤🩹. Also glad to have heard Essies's story and her feeling like the lone wolf in regard to her product, I feel the same way about one of mine and it was deeply encouraging. Also per usual, the styling was great and yall's glow-up is a joy to witness, especially since yall are friends IRL. Blessings❤
Thank you for supporting! Grateful to be in space with various backgrounds to discuss the uncomfortable things. And grateful for individuals like yourself watching and sharing your personal experiences. 🤎
Ohmygosh yall are just different. Like how you get three goddesses in one room on camera like hooooowwwww
What a beautifully curated conversation ✨ Thank you so much ladies for being consistent, inspiring and thought provoking ♥
Fran did that, didn't she? Thank you so much for supporting 🤎
Another awesome episode!
Thank you for watching!
Love these conversations! 💕 ❤️ 💓
Thank you for supporting! 💙
Jade & Keia! LOVE them! I look forward to every Tuesday 😉 💜 #GettinGrown
Love you back!
Love this! These are the conversations we need! Thank you for your thoughts!
Glad you're enjoying them!
Appreciate your support and I'm grateful the information resonates. Bless! 🤎
Great discussion ❤
Thank you for listening ❤
The diaspora conversation reminds me of the dying (thankfully) mentality between Caribbeans and Africans here in the UK. Caribbeans came before the Africans (windrush) and faced the initial brunt of white supremacy and the barriers to success. When africans came over (post windrush), the british created the divide by trying to make Africans feel and behave superior based on education and work ethic. It worked for a while, there was a seperation culturally, with africans perceiving Caribbean’s as lazy, violent etc.
Thankfully the millennials and gen z continue to dismantle this notion and are stamping out these harmful divisions.
Fran is so gorgeous, smart and articulate.
yes, yes she is.
Absolutely loved this episode ❤️
Thank you ❤❤❤
So proud to be here to witness this❤
And grateful you tuned in 💙
Such a great story, I feel so seen and inspired ❤
Much love to you. Thank you for watching ❤
@@heyfranhey much love to you!
Incredible episode!!!
Thank you for stopping by!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
Adore y’all storytelling
Thank you for watching ❤
I am person who is severely below poverty level, as my income is from disability. The American Dream was always the unattainable dream to me because to even to get close, I have overcome the obstacles of Black-womanhood, being queer, fat and a disabled person with mobility challenges. I worked myself very hard in a body that does not function well,just to make ends meet and I refuse to not prioritize rest and healing. My dream is to just find peace. I didn’t give up, I chose a path that better suited my needs.
Fran you're a natural host! It comes through on The Woo also. This was a beautiful series ladies ❣
Great conversation ❤ great to see brands like target actually amplifying these stories that hit the same communities they are present in! I hope we all (race and classes*) are learning and becoming aware of these stories, perspectives, and impactful ripples that carry through many generations
I am newly visually impaired (low vision) And I was nervous about commenting on the videos. But I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this series, husband, incredibly thought, provoking, and incoherence with my heart work. It will take a little time, but I will upload all of my comments soon.
The whole "If I can do it, you can too" from Motivational speakers has always bothered me! Not only for myself, but as Fran said, for those who are consuming the message. Everyone will not have the same path to success as you so considering others barrriers is always at the top of my list when giving advice or creating any Motivational content.
People sell the american dream everyday forgetting that different people will need different resources.
I love all three of you so much! ❤
Great talk ladies ❤ loved the section on “Distancing from Blackness”
Thank you so much for that informative conversation. It was an eye opener. Rossy Crisostomo
Yes. Being mindful of the realities of the world. I know that's what rubbed me the wrong way about Kim Kardashian's comments about nobody wanting to work. Ma'am, really?! Must you be so dense and disconnected from the real world of people who are actually working and doing their best to survive when everything is high as giraffe p*ssy (the answer yes, she is lol).
And also, yes, doing our part to incrementally contribute to our communities and our tribes. Nothing is too small. Everything I do is for the greater good of me and mine... Black folx. 💚
🤣
Here for this conversation and these looks... yall look amazing.
Love this so much!!!!!
Thank you, Antonio!!!! ❤
Great conversation ladies. Loving this content
🤎🤎🤎
“We were not seen as humans, we were seen as labor” WHEW.
Where we gone eat at?
😂😂😂😂😂
I disagree witht he notion of one of your questions. I strongly feel that our society punishes most of us who strive to be ourselves as the individuals we are. If you fray from how society and your social circles think you should be, you are ostracized and made to fend for oneself. It's much easier to just go along with the crowd. I so want to support black businesses, but the black businesses that are local to me support the "monolithic and stereotype black culture" of the area where I live. Then when you attempt to participate in the collective, you are questioned and frowned upon. There has to be a way to be ourselves and support each other. You touched on this notion in episode one on intersectionality.
Ohmygosh yall are just different. Like how you get three goddesses in one room on camera like hooooowwwww
Thank you, Negative Nancy ❤❤❤❤ lol
