“Brown Love” is produced for Netflix by Futuro Studios.
Dascha: Welcome to Brown Love, the show where we get real about all the things Latin X communities are talking about on your timeline. Brought to you by Netflix and Con Todo, I’m your host Dascha Polanco
It's 2020 and the world is...well let’s just say there’s a lot going on. How do you stay sane, healthy, and happy in these chaotic times we live in? Today we’re going to talk about self care and finding your magic. OR tapping into the magic of our ancestors. I'm joined by Annie Gonzalez, who stars in Netflix's “Gentefied”, and Jessica Marie Garcia, who plays the iconic Jasmine in Netflix’s “On My Block”. Annie saged the set and got the good energy flowing, and even brought her tarot cards out to give Jessica and I a quick reading. And she couldn’t believe the cards she pulled. So settle in people. It’s about to get real.
Dascha: Hi, Annie.
Annie: Hi.
Dascha: Hi, Jessica.
Jessica: Hi.
Dascha: How are you today?
Jessica: So, so much better now that I'm with you.
Dascha: For real. Oh, look at her. Do you feel the energy?
Jessica: I do. The power!
Dascha: It smells like sage.
Annie: Yeah. It feels good. Yeah, I feel serene. I feel…
Dascha: It's I guess it's like purging me.
Annie: I feel like I've learned to enjoy the smell because I understand all that it brings or what it eradicates.
Dascha: For me I...it's like something about it that I'm like mmm smells a little bacalao. I’m like mmm OK. And then I turn on the candle…
Jessica: I think that's a brand of sage. Right?
Dascha: Is it, is there? Because I love that stuff. Where are you from Ms. Jessica?
Jessica: I'm from Orlando, Florida. I’m half Cuban, half Mexican and didn't know what it was like to be Mexican until I moved to California.
Dascha: Well, how do you identify?
Jessica: I definitely...Latina, Latinx, whatever. I'm just excited to be invited to the party. You can call me whatever you want.
Dascha: I love that.
Jessica: But no, I'm just I mean, just to even be in the presence of you two and just like this energy. I feel so honored to be here, so thank you.
Dascha: What about you Annie. Where are you from?
Annie: Me born and raised in East L.A.
Dascha: Oh, OK. And how do you identify?
Annie: Girl from the hood. I identify as Chicana, but first and foremost, human. Forget all that. I'm here. We're here. I'm spirit. I'm source. That's what I identify as. That's at the forefront.
Dascha: Amazing. Okay, well, I want to start our first segment with speaking about what we do, our industry, acting and how you got started. Annie, let's start with you.
Annie: Okurrr
Dascha: Tell me about your character on Gentified. Did she just steal your your intro...
Jessica: No, because I can't do it. Do Okurr.
Annie: Okurr.
Jessica: Yeah. I sound like a car stopping. Okurr. Take my Latin card away. Okurrr.
Dascha: Do it again. Do it again.
Jessica: Okurr
Dascha: Do your own thing. Do your own think
Annie: You said uhhhurr?
Jessica: Like a straight up fender bender with her.
[All women laugh and make sound effects]
Annie: She said err err errrr.
Jessica: Make it a beat.
Dascha: Okay we can do that later.
Jessica: Okay sis let’s get to the nitty gritty.
Dascha: Let’s get the job done. Talk to me about your character. I want to know more about her.
Annie: Oh, my gosh. Her name is Lydia Solice. OK. She is, god she is a chingona man. She is...
Dascha: What does that mean?
Annie: Chingona, it’s bad ass, it’s like takes no shit from anybody. I actually have it tattooed on me. I have chingona here and I have chillona here because I can be both. OK.
Dascha: So you have chingona for bad ass and chillona?
Annie: For cry baby. mhm
Dascha: Oh, because chilla is como llorar.
Annie: Exactly.
Dascha: OK.
Annie: Okaaayyy
Dascha: No, I'm learning because I don't use that word. So it's important that we educate.
Annie: Yeah. Hell yeah.
So we know what it is because one day I want to say chingona I can say it
Annie: Absolutely.
Dascha: You know what I'm saying.
Annie: You know, you say that and you're a chingona in your own right. Hell, yeah.
Dascha: Hello. Thank you. But I'm a chillona too.
Annie: And that's, that's right.
Dascha: The accent is a little different and that's OK
Annie: And you know what, that's what makes it beautiful because you're like someone else's beauty is not the absence of your own. We are all beautiful women here, all slaying.
Dascha: C’mon, burn it. Burn that sage. Tell me about your character.
Annie: So, Lydia Solice, she's a fire ass mujer from East L.A. Stanford grad. Is all about her community and the Latinidad. She works at East L.A. College as a professor. So her storyline is still with her and her man, Eric, which is a J.J. story. He plays Eric. OK. And we're in a long 10 year relationship. You know that like off and on, like trying to figure it out. But what I'm really excited about her, is we see a lot of characters that try and get out and they get educated and they kind of want to denounce their, you know, where they were from because they're trying to escape. She is so about it and about her people. And that's a story, too. And that's a real story. We see that all the time. But I think it's rare that we're able to see someone who is from this place, who understands, who has been educated in other facets and is proud to be there and share back with the community instead of pouring out where they're like nah I want to give it back to my people so that they can do the same for themselves. And that doesn't mean that where I'm from is any less than.
Dascha: So how do you relate to your character?
Annie: Oh, my God. So when jumping into it initially, the relationship between Eric and Lydia, I was like, so baffled. I was like, I would never be with this guy, like he's this, he's that, he doesn't listen. She has to keep paying for shit. Like, what the fuck? I'm evolved. Right? But what it taught me was how much resentment and pain that I had with my mom and my dad's relationship. They were always off and on. You know, from East L.A., my mom's a teacher in East L.A. as well. So, I felt like I had I was repurposing my mom and dad story and finding healing through it and finding a way to see my mother as a woman before I saw her as my mom and all the things that she did wrong with our relationship.
Dascha/Jessica: Wow.
Gentefied Clip
Annie: So through this project and this role, I found so much healing for my younger self. And I feel like I found so much healing for her and understanding everything that she went through, being a single mom in East L.A. trying to figure it the fuck out, you know.
Dascha: That amazing. And for you Jessica? You've been playing a high schooler
Jessica: For a long time.
Dascha: Can you tell me a little bit about your character, you know?
Jessica: Well, I played Jasmine Flores. She's super shy and quiet. No, she is a spitfire. She is so sassy. And she wears her heart on her sleeve.
On my block Clip
Jessica: And I love her so much because she is so similar to me in the respect that when I was in high school, like I put all these fronts up in order to, like, say the joke before I was the joke,
On my block clip
Jessica: you know what I mean? Because I wasn't like the skinny girl. I had a unibrow, like, you know what I mean? Like, I was not like what everyone wanted to be. So I would use comedy in order to blend in, in order to like have friends.
Dascha: It’s a tactic you used?
Jessica: Yeah, absolutely.
Dascha: Put it out there. Let's get the elephant out of the room.
Jessica: I'm not what you want. I get it.
Dascha: So you've been playing a high schooler for how long now?
Jessica: Oh, my God. My whole career like this has been like over a decade.
Dascha: Have you had moments where you're like, hey, I kind of... you are put in that box where you are only playing those roles?
Jessica: Well, now I mean, now I'm getting to branch out, like, I'm so thankful that I'm on this show with Gina Rodriguez and Selenis, for “Diary of a Future President”, which is coming out too. But like for me, I'm so thankful that I get to work, to be quite honest with you that it hasn't really like bothered me. I'm just like thankful to my genes and my skin, the dimples, and the gap help. But for me, I enjoy being able to learn from every character, even if they are so much younger than me. Kind of like not making the same mistakes or like it's it's I'm just thankful to be able to tell a story that it hasn't affected me to that degree, but I completely understand what you're saying.
Dascha: Well, I wanted to ask you both about what has been surprising, the surprising part of playing your characters. What can you relate to your character? Right. And I think we spoke a little about that. But I know, Jessica, for you, this was your first thing for me it was my first big thing. So we're all like first here on Netflix with our first big thing, which is a great. It's a great opportunity in it when you're first enter there...my experience was like, oh, my God. I'm part of the show, but it was in like I'm an actress. You know, I had to learn how to own that after because it was not guaranteed, right?
Jessica: Oh Yeah.
Dascha: So, I want to hear a little bit about that. Like what has your experience been so far? And we can start with you Jessica because how long has “On My Block” been out?
Jessica: We've been three seasons.
Dascha: Weee yes.
Jessica: Third season is gonna be dropped or I think has just dropped when we see this.
Jessica: Yeah, well that is something I hope everyone is binging already.
Annie: Yes.
Jessica: But it was my first series regular and I had to fight for that. You know what I mean. Not like fight, but like...No, but I was a guest star and I just remember season... I was gonna name my incorporation professional guest star productions because I was like, this is my life. Like series regular was something I didn't think was ever going to happen for me.
Dascha: Exactly.
Jessica: And then thank God that it's happened. But I mean, every day feels like an audition. Like I don't ever feel comfortable, like I don't ever walk on set and be like I own this. Like, I might make you think that. But no, like I'm looking around like, was I funny enough? Was that OK? Like, I know very much how many people are in line for this position. You know what I mean? And I don't take that lightly. And I want to always, like, really show out and give everything, because at the end of the day, if I don't think like I was the funniest person in that scene or I was like my best then I'm garbage. So I haven't, I haven't reached the point yet where I'm so comfortable or like just comfortable in my ability or anything. That's still something that I have yet to grasp yet.
Annie: Yeah, I feel that.
Dascha: And for you Annie?
Annie: Oh, baby girl, listen. OK. So it was me and Julissa Calderon. It's one of the fastest friends I've ever made. We worked together on Gentified. She's absolutely amazing. Just a beautiful spirit.
Dascha: Yes And I love Julissa Calderon.
Annie: Yo Julissa! snap it up for my Dominican mami, because, you know, me and Julissa, we met, we became homies. We are we're both getting off set at the same time. And we decide to go in my car to like hang out and talk. And we're talking she's like, girl like so and so is working on this and we're just or chatting it up. And immediately I just start crying and she's like, what's wrong? And I'm like, I don't know if I can do this. I had imposter syndrome. But throughout this process..
Dascha: What is that? I never heard of that.
Annie: Imposter syndrome. I felt like a fraud. Like, I've been doing this my whole life. I remember being a kid in first grade and teachers would tell my mom she's daydreaming, like, can you please come and check on this kid? And in first grade I would be sitting there and I'm like, what are you daydreaming about me? One day when I'm a famous movie star and I make it to the Oscars...and she's like, well, movie stars, need to learn how to read too so you better put your ass in those books. So having that vision of myself as a kid and then it finally coming to fruition, me sitting in this space, I was like, oh, my God. And then I've had so many transitions. I've lost a bunch of weight. I've been in therapy for the last two years. Even taking the break from acting. It forced me to become a whole human, now it only behooves me to step in my power and say that I'm deserving of this my inner voice is like, but you're that bitch. Like, you deserve to be here and you're grateful. So when I say, like, I'm stepping in my power and fuck all that, I don't mean it in terms of, you know, like I'm not worried that. But... like I understand like I'm grateful. I'm just so grateful and honored because the people that came before me and the people that are going to come after because they see me, that's gonna be exciting, you know?
Dascha: Yeah.
Annie: So that's what keeps me going off. Like, this isn't just about you Annie. This is about the greater good of all of us. Like watching you guys on my screen for the last, you know, years that I've seen you. I'm like I was like, oh, my God, I can't wait till I meet them like it’s going to be so amazing. And now to be able to sit here with you in my full power feels so amazing and so surreal that I'm just like, oh, shit, pinch me, pinch me, pinch me. But we're here. We're doing it.
Dascha: Yes, we are here and that's great to hear because I'm a huge advocate for self-love. And hearing you say the imposter syndrome is basically insecure and feeling like you're not worth know doing it and playing roles that they might be stereotypical at the time. Nontraditional. And then you're doing what you love. You get the opportunity and you worry, right? You worry because you don't know if it's there tomorrow. So you're not living in your present moment and you're so worried about the next.
Annie: Exactly.
Jessica: Well Orange is the New Black...you started it boo. Don't forget.
Dascha: Yes. Well, thank you.
Annie: Yeah.
Jessica: Absolutely.
Dascha: But it was... it's something that I've done every day, every day, I can relate to both of you when I ask myself, what am I doing here? What the hell am I doing here? You know what I mean? So. You start with the selfcare. Right. When do we start with the selfcare? At what point do you realize, hey, I have to put myself first? There is a time that I've had to take a risk and say I'm going to do acting. Yeah, I'm gonna put myself first. Yes. And everybody could stay in their place. Yep. And I'm going to push forward through it
Annie: because it's for the greater good. You putting yourself first, people think that that’s selfish, selfishness is good though, because when you're doing good for yourself, you're connected to source.
Dascha: Exactly.
Annie: God. Allah. whatever you want.
Dascha: Tell me a little. Explain that to me Annie. Explain to me what does self care mean to you?
Annie: Self care to me means taking a breath for myself, realizing that I am all that I need, all that I've ever had, and all that will ever be. And that is enough. And I mean that in a connected way because...
Dascha: Well you can… It’s about listening also. And it's about learning and absorbing from the other for you, Jessica, I know we have similarities in that, you know, we're not a size petite. And you said you've lost a lot of weight, but we are at a point where we're not a size zero.
Jessica: Yup.
Dascha: It comes to a point where you're a bigger size, when you're more voluptuous, when you have a little bit more junk in the trunk, it's harder to fit those roles.
Jessica: Yep.
Dascha: For some reason they believe you less. And it affects your self care, affects your self-love. It affects that.
Jessica: Oh, yeah.
Dascha: Talk to me a little bit about that in self care and how do you do it, right?
Jessica: I think one of the best things I've gotten from playing characters that are like Jasmine is that I have I have a relatability to girls who look like me, who haven't really been able to see themselves on television before that.
Dascha: Mhm.
Jessica: So like the comments that I get of someone who's like, wait, I feel like I can have this passion because I've seen you do it. Like I remember America and real women have curves. Like, I was like, wait, what? Like, you don't have to be a size 2 and you can look like me and be on screen like I didn't think that was a possibility. So for me, self care is just reminding myself how grateful I am. Also reminding myself that I've worked hard to get here and also to step back from it. Like if I'm not encompassed in work, then I need to be on my health. I need to be on my friends, my family. Like if you're not a whole person, when you're not working, when you get to work, how are you going to portray another person?
Annie: Yes.
Jessica: You know, there's an emptiness. There's a hole there.
Dascha: Well, also because we have to understand that nothing is perfect, right, and when it comes to self care, it's going to be times where you just want to eat a damn chocolate chip.
Annie/Jessica: And that is self care! That is self care.
Annie: COOKIES ARE SELF CARE. Fuck yes.
Dascha: Yas. For me, it is more than cookies. It’s potato chips. It’s pizza, truffle oil.
Annie: But that's what you needed.
Dascha: Sex.
Annie: Aye.
Dascha: You know what I mean?
Jessica: A joint.
Dascha: You know, whatever you got, whatever.
[Music Break]
Dascha: Magic and how it has influence in our culture. How does self care blend into the magic and nontraditional stuff, right? I want us to really tener un diálogo y hablar de eso because it’s very important para mi. It’s very important to discuss how it affects our cultures, whether you're Mexican, whether you're Cuban, whether you're from Chile or whatever. It's important for us to discuss, right?
Annie: Yep
Dascha: So Annie, you've been doing tarot card readings on set her, all weekend. And for me, I have a problem with it being magic and being called magic because that's my spirituality. You know what I mean?
Annie: No. You know what I think the term magic itself, especially in like Western culture, it’s been made to be like magic. But when I say magic, it does feel like my spirituality, but my spirituality does feel like magic. It's connected.
Dascha: Exactly.
Annie: And it's something that can't be explained like love, right? It's like you can't touch it, you can't see it, but you feel that shit. So that's how it feels like when I like... I feel like magic and spirituality are tandem. That's what I like when people look at me like magic. And I was like, do you believe in a higher power? Do you believe in the life you're living? That's magic. This is just the vernacular that I choose to use because it makes it more colorful for me. I like it. I loves... I’m magic. You’re magic. You’re magic. And right here we are a fucking cauldron boulder burning here and we're creating magic.
Dascha: So it’s more like how you described the color of it.
Annie: Exactly.
Jessica: Oh, I like that...how you described that. You can sex that up.
Dascha: C’mon.
Jessica: Ohh that was sexy.
Dascha: So how did that start for you?
Annie: Oh, my gosh. My mom had been getting her cards ready since I was a little girl. I remember we used to go to this girl named Eva, this older woman named Eva's house. And she would just...I was always around it. So it was never scary to me. But I was also, I was raised Mormon for a little bit.
Dascha: Really?
Jessica: mhm...how for a little bit?
Annie: So, my mom was Mormon for like a second.
Jessica: For a little bit?
Annie: Just a baby bit.
Jessica: Just for like a season. I heard you couldn’t celebrate Christmas and I was done.
Annie: And I was like, no coffee? You got me fucked thinking. No, yeah I was raised Mormon until I was about like seven, seven or eight. And then my mom decided to leave that. I feel like even as a kid, I was always looking for something greater than myself. When I would hear love songs and like women sing love songs, I'd be like, that can't be all there is to life. Like, well, we just supposed to fall in love like I didn't...And then even working to me, like having a job, I'm like, I didn't get it. I'm like, there has to be more, right?
So then at twelve I decided I wanted to be Catholic. So I did all my sacraments and I went to a Catholic school and I did all that stuff and I felt God there, but it was like ahh I’m still not speaking the same language. I don't get it like. And then I started looking... I watched “The Secret” and understood how the law of attraction works.
That's funny, my college professor, my forensic psychology professor, was the one that introduced me to “The Secret”. Yup. The book.
Jessica: I love “The Secret”
Dascha: And I was like this is my life. That's like a classic. That's something like a go to. Like if you want to start your basic spiritual journey, on what it is, that's something to go to.
Jessica: Absolutely.
Annie: Yo that if you've ever seen “Zeitgeist”
Dascha: Zeitgeist. I mean, those are the steps to becoming..to becoming…
Jessica: to stepping into your magic
Dascha: And Jessica, there's a thing you know, I went to Cuba for the first time and I spent some time in Miami. I did high school in Miami. And there's a lot of spirituality in Cuba,
Jessica: Yep. you know, from practicing Santeria to so on. What's your experience with spirituality?
Jessica: Well I'm super Catholic. I did all the sacraments. I'm just…
Dascha: So did. Conformation.
Jessica: Exactly. Did all of them.Yup. I went to a private school like up until high school, and super spiritual. I had to go to church twice a week. I loved it. I went to an incredible Catholic school, like we had Muslims at our school, we had Jews at our school. We would have weeks dedicated to what they believe in
Annie: That’s aweome.
Jessica: and like how we relate.
Dascha: See and that’s it.
Jessica: It was incredible. Yeah, it was unbelievable. So I'm really thankful for that. But I mean, I remember hearing stories of my grandfather in Cuba opening a door and there being a chicken without a head running around. And my grandmother having to get a bag because you can't touch it. You put the chicken and the headless chicken in a bag and you had to take it far away. And then my grandfather had to take a bath with rose petals. White rose petals.
Dascha: Yeah, well, there's things...
Jessica: There's things going on.
Dascha: Yeah, there are practices that are done culturally that people are like what is that? Traditions that have been passed on from generations to generations that come from Africa.
Annie: Right.
Jessica: Yep.
Dascha: That come from Yoruba. Right? And it's you know, we sacrifice and we give it to the Gods and we give it to Papa Legba and all that stuff. And there's stuff that, you know, I've learned along the way of educating myself to not be like, what the hell is that?
Jessica: Oh, no. You gotta be sponge.
Dascha: You know what I mean? You have to.Are there any cultural traditions that you remember within your household that you could talk a little about?
Jessica: Oh, I know that New Year's was always a big thing with like the 12 grapes. Did you ever do the 12 grapes thing?
Dascha: Yes, all the time.
Okay, because all my white friends were like what do you do with grapes? You put in cheese? And I’m like no, no, no. Yes. You have to do one January. It's sweet. Oh, it's gonna be a good, good month. And you go back and forth.
Annie: I didn't do it, but I've heard about it, but I didn't do that.
Jessica: That’s funny. That's how you could do it.
Dascha: Get them organic and get them with a seed.
Annie: Oh, organic and with a seed.
Dascha: Don’t get no grapes without seeds because then you’re like where they come from.
Annie: Yeah, like I get it right. Like I hear you right with the seed but then green grapes with no seed that are big and juicy.
Jessica: Right?
Dascha: C’mon Annie…throw her under the bus.
Annie: You see what they. Yall are mad fake. Nah nah it’s cool it’s cool.
Jessica: It’s about unifying.
[All laughing]
Annie: Yeah it’s about unifying
Dascha: and still, what’s a cultural..
Jessica: Cultural tradition is shading people alright?
Annie: We do do that.
Dascha: We do do that.
Annie: We are the worst to each other.
Dascha: My own mother. My aunt.. Shading. And we do it but it’s all love
Annie: It is all love, like if I can’t shade you.. Bro I don’t fuck with you.
Jessica: My grandmother used to tell my friends they were fat. Like that's how in your face she was. She was like, oh, she's so pretty, but she should lose weight. I’m like
Annie: Why grandma?
Jessica: To me, to everyone, that's a cultural thing.
Dascha: It is. I mean, amor. And another one is listen. Wear your panties backwards.
Jessica: What is the panties backward?
Dascha: Yeah, cause it protects you. I don't do that anymore. I don't wear panties.
Jessica: It protects you. From what?
Dascha: I don’t wear undies. Supposedly from any bad evil eyes like the blue eye that…
Jessica: You don't see the eye because you're so uncomfortable because those weren't made to be backwards. Like I would be dying. What would go backwards? Well, what kind of panties you wear? There the same inside and out..
Annie: You talking about inside out. Not back and not backwards.
Jessica: Inside out!
Dascha: Al revés, al revés.
Annie: That would be really funny like your wearing the thong back...
Jessica: That’s what I’m thinking. That's what I'm thinking like. Like borat.
Dascha: Now Jessica, would I.. do you think I would?
Annie: Blame her. Blame her.
Jessica: It was, Annie? It was Annie. No no no you guys can’t do this it was Annie.
Dascha: She didn’t get it. She’s a veteran, ten years in and she doesn't even know. Been in high school in 10 years. You can't wear a damn thong backwards.
Jessica: No, I didn't know, I was learning. I was taking it in.
Dascha: You should know we can’t do that
Jessica: No we can’t do that.
Dascha: you can’t either. You got some junk in your trunk
Jessica: I got a FUPA always yall.
Dascha: I know, those are good too.
Jessica: A FUPA is a different podcast.
Annie: I just pictured myself with a thong on backwards , It was not cute.
Jessica: After this commercial break we’ll talk about FUPAs.
[Music Break]
Dascha: I wanted you to pull a card for us. And do you know, just do a little like vibe. Pull any card.
Annie: Okay.
Dascha: If you feel comfortable for it.
Annie: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
Dascha: So how you learned how to do this?
Annie: I think, it’s very much intuition, connnectivity, and then energies that’s hear. And it’s always subject to change. So people get afraid to get their cards read because you like “I don't want to know.” Right? But sometimes it's good when you're like, oh, and there's this person that you probably need to get out of your life. And this and this and this is going to happen thereafter. Should this person…
Dascha: So this not like you telling them tomorrow, you’re going to win the lottery? And it’s number five. It’s more like, this is what your energy is giving off and this is what that card means.
Jessica: Am I wrong when I say it's like past, future, present?
Annie: Yeah. No, it's the here and now. So it's. It's exactly that. Yeah, it's everything all compiled in one, it's like, what? What are you giving me? What are you doing? And a little insight intuitively just on who... the truth is, we already have the answers, right? The card is just a physical manifestation. It's like when we get signs and you're like, dang, I really miss my tia that passed away and you see a butterfly that represents her. You know, she's around.
Dascha: Or you ignore your intuition? Like damn, I shouldn't have been with him. I should have seen it when it happened.
Annie: Yo sis
Jessica: And then he calls you.
Annie: Let's not do that.
Dascha: And then you answer. And then you have like Facetime sex.
Jessica: Yes. We’ll keep that for the FUPA.
Dascha: And then you’re like stop why did I do it.
Jessica: We’ll keep that for the FUPA podcast.
Annie: She’s like and then you call, and we have facetime sex. And then I drop my glass of water because I was thirsty. And I’m like dang it’s getting real specific. Did this happen? You good sis?
Jessica: I might need you to elaborate.
Dascha: At 5:03 in the morning, when you have to be at a damn podcast at 6. Can you imagine? No that didn’t happen guys.
[Cards Shuffle]
Annie: Let’s see what we got going on. We got three beautiful women.
Jessica: We got some energy.
Dascha: Yeah, we have.
Annie: [Gasps]
Jessica: Damn.
Dasha: What? Don’t do that cause I love that. What is it ? What is it? Come on’ Annie.
Annie: This is awesome you guys. So I did a first spread and I didn't feel it right. I was like trying to listen to ya’ll. So I wasn't like in my funk. I was like, you know what, I'm trying to do too much. I keep talking about just do what we're here to do and be. And I was like, I just want what is a representation of what all three of us are here doing. And I got the high priestess.
Dasha: And what does that mean?
Annie: The high priestess.
Jessica: I like those words together.
Annie: It is…
Jessica: Well it’s a beautiful women.
Annie: Here, I'll pass it around, so you can see it. So the high priestess, she just represents all feminine divinity. She's wearing a blue cape. She has a crescent moon at her feet with a beautiful glade garden pictured in the back.
Dascha: And two columns, right?
Annie: And two columns.
And so you can tell like this is her like the juxtaposition of like the former and the latter and kind of just the in-between of shedding old ideas and stepping into the power to create a new ones. It's a very pensive card of of divinity. So it's it's beautiful.
Dascha: Wow beautiful. It’s a great beautiful card.
Annie: So I feel like in talking about all the things that we had gone through as a collective and separately and kind of we've been talking about a lot of, you know, the things that have felt like we've been holding back, that have held us back, it feels like... those things now aren't at the forefront of what we're doing.
We're here to create a progression, you know? A forward movement. And that's why we're here right now. It's like we talked about that because we needed to reflect on that.
Dascha: So we're like we're in our present moment and we're also. And we're also loving one another, accepting one another, and sharing our love to our community and allowing us to like grow from our past.
Annie: Yes.
[Music Break]
Dascha: In the show that Annie is in “Gentefied” there's a podcast called Brown Love. And it’s um.. Are you excited?
Annie: I'm excited.
Dascha: Take that moment to say it.
Annie: I'm really excited.
Dascha: It's of two chicanas from L.A. They're from the L.A. area. They're talking about life, love, and the Latinx community. So I wanted to ask you a little bit about your love lives. And if you're down, you don't have to, you know, be factual. You can say what you want to say, or what you want people to hear.
Jessica: I’m down.
Dascha: Yeah. OK. Well, I want to hear a little bit about your relationship status to start off.
Jessica: Well, I'm married.
Dascha: You married? I did not know that.
Jessica: I'm married right now. No, I did not wear my ring today.
Dascha: It's OK. I
Jessica: No I’m good. My husband's already yelling at me. I can tell.
Dascha: Does he yell at you?
Jessica: No
Annie: I’ve met her husband, and wow them together. I'm like, yeah. I love stupid, right?
Jessica: No, no, no. He's amazing. We've been together for eleven years, but we've been married for a year now.
Dascha: That’s amazing. Congratulations newlywed.
Jessica: Thank you, I know.
Dascha: Did you record it ? Did you put it on YouTube?
Jessica: Right, no it's on my Instagram, though.
Dascha: It is?
Jessica: You can see that. All the good angles. All the good angles.
Dascha: And what about you Annie?
Annie: Me? I’m
Dascha: Single? Dating?
Annie: I'm single, dating. I'm single. I'm in love with myself right now. But I'm dating. I'm definitely dating him. I'm having a really nice time.
Dascha: But you mentioned something about being pansexual. Tell me about that.
Annie: Yeah, I you know, I just I fall in love with the person, not the sex. If you have a beautiful mind and I'm attracted to you and I think you bad.
Jessica: That’s it
Annie: Like let’s get it at me.
Dascha: Whatever gets down, gets down
Annie: Let’s see what it can do.
Jessica: Totally, I think whatever works for you works for you. If you were two, as many as you want, consenting adults. You do you.
Annie: Yeah.
Jessica: Life's too short.
Annie: Yo and then in the culture that we grew up we are so sex shamed. Right. And we're like, hey, it's so like no I’m not going to do that to myself.
Dascha: You know, that's so true. Like for years I've been so ashamed of…
Annie: I hate it.
Dascha: I mean, I imagined being like, I love this. You know what I mean? And then it’s like no I'm a pro.
Annie: Yeah.
Dascha: Ya know?
Annie: Are you kidding me? Like, I I didn't love myself. So I was like, everybody come love me. But now I love myself. And I can say, like, listen, your girl can get down and she a freak. But not with you.
Dascha: Exactly.
Annie: But maybe which you.
Jessica: That’s true. But that’s the thing with us as a culture were overly sexualized anyway.
Dascha: Yeah.
Jessica: I mean, that's like that's our thing. We’re the spice. We're like the hot latin... Like, you know what I mean. Not that we're not because we are, but like there's other dimensions to us but they don't touch on ever.
Annie: Exactly.
Dascha: Now, I think it's it's a great time because I feel like, yo, you could be whatever you want, you could do whatever you want. And, you know, even with social media, for example, I'm sure you guys get some DM slides.
Jessica: Oh, God
Dascha: And I want to hear it. I want to hear it. I want to see it. You have your phones so let me see.
Jessica: Get my phone.
Dascha: Let me see. Go in there. Let me see your DMs.
Jessica: Can I read your DMs?
Dascha: Do you get DMs?
Annie: I’m a bad bitch. Of course, I get D.M.s
Jessica: I wanna read your DMs.
Annie: Yo I have..
Dascha: SHE MAD NOSEY.
Jessica: I wanna read them!
Annie: I have D.M.s that look all of these are like… look it, hard eyes, flowers, fire emojis. I had somebody… I posted a picture of my body right because I was feeling cute and I did a side angle and this guy was like, yeah, but you got no ass. And I was like you’re blocked bitch. You could never see my shit again.
Jessica: Yeah, no people are mean.
Dascha: You gotta respond like I respond. Right. If they tell me something like that I’ll be like, yeah but this flat ass will sit on your flat face, you know what I mean? Like something like that. You got to be slick.
Annie: That’s a good one.
Dascha: You know what I mean?
Jessica: Right.
Dascha: I go for it. I remember at the first... at the beginning when I had my social media and then the show came out. Yo there were people coming at me like trolls and I love to troll trolls. And there was this one person that said some things and I was like, yo, why don't you get your ass off there and fucking clean or do something which yourself because you are too busy being in my crevices. So you need to get out of there and yo, no response. Sometimes you have to be snappy, you've got to be witty,
Jessica: Yeah of course not.
Dascha: And sometimes you get pictures. And that's what I wanted you to tell me about your pictures that if you ever gotten pictures in your D.M.s
Annie: I have not.
Dascha: Well, get ready.
Jessica: I have people thinking I’m a teenager and they send them to me.
Dascha: Foreal
Annie: Nooooooo
Jessica: Yes! Oh, my God. People are disgusting. There is one time I went live…
Dascha: This one time in bad guys.
Jessica: This one time I was like, looking really good. No, I went live and I didn't know that people when you go live, people that don't follow can see you.
Dascha: Yeah.
Jessica: So I went live. Whatever. Whatever. And then I got all these D.M.s that I had never seen before. And I was with Diego in the van. We were at “On My Block.” And I'm showing him and he's looking through all of these dick pics. And he goes, he looks at me and he goes I'm so sorry. Like, does this happen all the time? And I'm like, yeah Diego yeah.
Dascha: That's crazy.
Jessica: People are so weird. Wait, wait till the show comes.
Dascha: Yeah wait.
Jessica: Wait.
Annie: That's gonna be so fun.
Jessica: They can be like trading cards..
Annie: Like it's wrong. It's wrong. Like I don't want that. I don't want that in my phone.
Jessica: You trade them. You go, hey, look at this one. This one's an innie. This one's an outie
Annie: This one is nothing.
Jessica: We don't know what this is.
Dascha: Damn.
Jessica: You need to see a doctor.
Jessica: I mean if you’re going to send them, I'm gonna show him to people.
Dascha: Yeah, right. It's public now.
[Music Break]
Dascha: I want to speak about also like brown love within like your parents brown love versus your brown love. You know what I mean? Qhat was that like? Like the relationship of your parents growing up versus the relationship that you believe in now, your present day? Because it’s very different.
Annie: So like, you know, so the last relationship I was in, it was a beautiful relationship, but there was a lot of things that I wasn't getting...communication, whatever else. Right? And when I had spoken to my mom about it, her initial reaction was like, ah mija that's just how men are. They don't talk. They don't do this. And the more people that I talk to you of that generation were complacent...
Dascha: Yes, so true
Annie: ...with that. And for some reason, my stubborn ass is like, I don't buy it. I don't. I feel like men and people want to talk.
Jessica: But that's ingrained in us from the get go. Like even as a kid, like if a boy picked on you, well, he likes you and you're like, you know how horrible that is for a child to believe at that age...
Dascha: Yeah.
Jessica like abuse is like love. You're, you're telling that to a child that if he picks on you that if he's mean to them he likes you. That's horrible that we ingrain in girls specifically at a young age. But like, that's the same for me. Like my mom dealt with things that my dad would do that I would never, ever, ever deal with. And that to me is just because, like we are stepping into our power and also that like there's other options out there for us. We're not at home like, you know what I mean, like waiting on a man, like we're pursuing our dream.
Dascha: And I felt like I became my father.
Jessica: Oh okay.
Dascha: Yeah, I felt like yo I'm living my best life and I'm not...I don't want nobody that's going…
Annie:Tto hold it down.
Dascha: And I’m going to do me and it’s me and I'm out there and I can play, I'm going to play.
Annie: Yup.
Dascha: It's such a beautiful thing culturally that in the Latin culture that we're learning how to evolve with the times as well.
Annie: Uh, Yeah.
Dascha: Right? it's not just about one person is more about being inclusive and everybody in it.
Annie: Yeah.
[Music Break]
Dascha: This game that I want to play. It's about self care and it's “Namaste or Nada Mas”. And we're going to have a little fun with it.
Jessica: That’s so cute.
Dascha: Right? And it's just I'm going to read some of the wellness trends of the moment. And your job is to guess it. And if you don't know what it is, you can try to guess it and you tell me if you tried it or you haven't?
Jessica: Okay.
Annie: Okay
Dascha: All right. And I'm going to start with the first one, adult swaddling. Swaddling.
Annie: Have I done that?
Dascha: Do you know what it is? Adult swaddling?
Annie: I can take context clues. Try it quick.
Dascha: Just take a quick try at it. And if not it’s fine. There's no like like losing or winning. And you're not gonna get a free treatment.
Annie: I'm not?
[Overtalking]
Annie: You’re not trying to swaddle all this?
Dascha: From me.
Jessica: OH is that swaddling is? I had no idea… she pointed a lot more south.
Annie: Pfft stop it.
Jesssica: You did.
Annie: Like how you swaddle a baby? I feel like it's another person swaddling them with them so that they can hold them.
Dascha: You’re close
Jessica: Or is it with the blanket like you were actually swaddling like a baby?
Dascha: Yeah. So it's actually...adult swaddling is a wellness trend in Japan where it's believed to help mothers with post labor, shoulder, and hip pain. Would you try it?
Jessica: Yeah. Hell yeah. Would you?
Annie: I'd have to see it. It sounds... maybe with someone I felt safe with maybe. I’d try anything. Why not?
Jessica: Wait is this with another human?
Dascha: It’s with a blanket. So someone..so they wrap you like a baby, like a burrito.
Jessica: How did you think that wrapping yourself with another person was going to help with shoulder pain Annie?
Annie: Let me tell you sis okay.
Dascha: You just gave birth to a person Annie.
Jessica: You put the baby on your shoulder...like a koala.
Annie: Let me tell you what had happened, right. So I grew up with mad anxiety. I used to tell my mama to lay on top of me like a weighted blanket before I knew what that shit was like okay you guys like it’s real.
Jessica: Well now you make me sad.
Annie: I’m like what is swaddling.
Jessica: Swaddle my chest.
Dascha: So Annie is just using Jessica’s breasteses to swaddle herself. That's her version of adult swaddling. Let's go on to the next. It's getting hot and frisky here...with Doga. Do you know what that is? Have you tried it?
Jessica: Say it one more time.
Dascha: Doga
Annie: You got it, try it.
Dascha: I would say dog- ya but...
Annie: It's dog yoga.
Jessica: oh wait. Oh, that's what it is.
Dascha: Ding ding ding ding ding.
Jessica: Thank you. Because I was like…
Dascha: Invented in London…
Jessica: Like a dojo, yoga.
Dascha: It focuses on gentle stretching, meditation, and dog massages, “about bonding with your dog in an intimate way.” Would you try it?
Jessica: Yes. I love my dog.
Dascha: Yeah, I love my dog.
Jessica: She’d hate it though.
Dascha: But I’m not doing doga. I’m not doing dog- a, I’m not doing yoga with my dog.
Jessica: no?
Dascha: It's about me. It’s about meeeeeeeee
Jessica: You like looking at the dog...no!
Dascha: No, Rainbow, stay.
Jessica: They said downward dog you better get your house down. Why you better than me?
Dascha: This one, okay, this I'm excited about...Yoni eggs.
Annie: Yes. I can’t stand you Jess.
Dasha: You don't know what a Yoni egg is?
Jessica: Yeah yeah yeah I know all about what a yoni… oh wait is that the thing you put inside and you hold it.
Dascha: You put it in your pussy yes.
Annie: YES
Jessica: I’ve seen that real housewives episode.
Dascha: I mean you put it in your vagina.
Jessica: Oh, I would totally do that. You put in...and then you kegal it closed.
Annie: Yes.
Dascha: So it's jade eggs that you stick up your vaginas to strengthen the pelvic floor and relieve crimes against your desk.
Annie: And they gotta be jade.
Jessica: That’s right.
Dascha: You could get them different from different crystals. You could get rose quartz you could get..
Annie: Amethyst.
Jessica: Oh that’s a little bumpy. Rose quartz is a little bumpy.
Dascha: No they’re smooth.
Annie: No, they smooth it out.
Dascha: God Jessica what you want a rough ass, you think they’re gonna take the damn crystal just like that...
Annie: First she thinks the panties are going on backwards then she thinks they’re put a rough one up there like girl.
Jessica: Yall changing my life today.
Dascha: She just invented a whole different type of yoniing.
Jessica: It's dangerous.
Dascha: Yes. Don't try it at home.
Annie: I can’t stand you. I picture you putting a rough one up there...
Jessica: I saw an entire one.
Annie: You grab a crystal...
Jessica: You know Kim Kardashian.
Dascha: It's an egg. It’s an egg it’s in the shape of an egg. That’s a nada más. Okay? The version of namaste is a yoni egg.
Jessica: You wouldn't do a yoni egg?
Dascha: I love a yoni egg.
Jessica: You've done it?
Dascha: I love a Yoni egg.
Jessica: You heard it here today.
[Overtalking]
Dascha: Let’s do the next one. Cuu Cuu Cupping.
Jessica: I would do cupping. That’s when you know, white people lay down and they put the little cup on your back and twist it, right? And then they get the marks on their back?
Dascha: Yeah.
Jessica: Yeah. Anybody who gets cupped though wears a tank top the next day because they want you to know they got…
Dascha: I don't know why they do that.
Jessica: They gotta let you they cupped.
Dascha: Let me tell you something.
Dascha: It’s basically an ancient practice of using cups to create suction on your skin to help relieve pain. Side effects include massive hickies. Yeah, they get it right here.
Annie: Oh, my God. That’s so embarrassing, do you guys see my cupping? Oh my god that’s so gross.
Jessica: Hickies all over your back.
Annie: It’s always like that girl in school that she's like
Jessica: I was cupping..
Annie: UGGGHHHH I can’t believe my boyfriend gave me a hickey.
Jessica: I had a bad shoulder so we adult swaddled, and then he cupped me.
Annie: And then I put my yoni egg up in that to let him know I was still freaky.
Dascha: And then he was doggoing me.
Jessica: Oh, my God.
Dascha: Wow. The next one... Oh, my God. I'm excited about the next three guys. I'm excited about the next three.
Jessica: OK.
Annie: OK.
Dascha: Ok, Son bumming.
Annie: Yes.
Dascha: You do that?
Annie: Where you get your butt like in the sun, right?
Dascha: First of all, it's not your butt. It's more than that.
Jessica: It’s your front bum?
Dascha: It’s also known as perineum sun.
Jessica: See now you’re adding words.
Annie: Is it when you put the sun like all up in it. When your yoniing.
Dascha: All up in it. You’re holding it
Annie: Yes, yo
Dascha: For the sun, made viral by an Instagram wellness guru, it’s where you lay naked in the sun for 10 minutes with your butthole exposed to sun. She said 30 seconds of sunlight on your butthole is the equivalent of a full day of sunlight with your clothes on. Well, that defeats the purpose for those that get anal bleaching, doesn't it? Annie.
Jessica: Right.
Dascha: Doesn’t it Annie? Because if you get anal bleaching you should not do sun bumming.
Jessica: Do you get anal bleaching?
Annie: I haven't. I would do it, I’m not opposed. See my brown booty hole.
Jessica: I'm married. He got it. That's fine. You don't need it. There is nothing else happening over in that area.
Annie: No, I wouldn't. So when I lived with my mom in Whittier, we used to have this like secluded backyard. And I'd go out there in the sun.
Dascha: Well damn.
Annie: Because that…is like… I’m sorry to me it’s very spiritual. It’s like the sun is blessing my little nah nah.
Jessica: Hell no.
Annie: ...my bootyhole.
Dascha: So you put the egg in there. You put the sun. What else? What else?
Annie: And it’s a magical vision. That's what I got.
Dascha: Well okay, I mean, I my thing is it defeats the purpose for those who get the…
Jessica: How do you stumble upon that?
Dascha: About what? Anal bleaching? Sun bumming.
Jessica: Sun bumming
Annie: You don’t stumble, you make an appointment silly.
Jessica: It has to be an influencer who came up with that shit.
Dascha: It did it was an Instagram wellness gurus and made it viral.
Jessica: And you know what? I'm officially an Instagram wellness guru.
Annie: What.
Jessica: I Decided.
Annie: Got it, that’s how it works.
Jessica: It’s not good for you, I decided.
Dascha: OK, well, the next one placentafigy.
Jessica: Is that eating your placenta?
Dascha: Yeah.
Jessica: They have a word for it.
Annie: If it’s my placenta I would.
Dascha: Eating once, one placenta. Cause I’m not eating your inner skins.
Annie: Yeah no thank you.
Dascha: Believed to help with postpartum depression. Also dehydrated and put it in pill form. Dehydrated in pill format. I will swallow it like, let's go.
Jessica: You wouldn’t do the shake.
Dascha: No, I'm not doing no fucking shake.
Jessica: They do the shake..right there.
Dascha: You did the shake?
Jessica: No, but I would.
Dascha: Would you do the shake?
Jessica: Hell yeah.
Dascha: You wouldn’t do the pill. Easy. No taste
Jessica: See I think if you dry it, it probably won’t taste as good.
Annie: I wanna taste what I taste like.
Dascha: So are you saying that dry fruit doesn’t taste as good as real fruit.
Jessica: It’s not as good for you.
Dascha: That’s not true.
Annie: I’d rather have the real thing.
Jessica: Anything that we say we can find 20 articles and say yes, 20 articles saying no.
Dascha: That’s true. I guess it’s to the preference.
Annie: Live your truth.
Dascha: You would have it wet, I would have it dry.
Jessica: It’s probably better dry. But if they handed to me in the street..
Dascha: Nah it’s probably better both ways. I just .. I’m not gonna drink a cup of placenta.
Jessica: Just not warm. Warm. Sounds like a bad thing.
Dascha: Warm or cold?
Jessica: Who’s had children?
Dascha: I have.
Jessica: Does it come out warm?
Dascha: I don’t know cause I had a C section.
Annie: It probably does.
Dascha: But I’m gonna tell you it is warm. Because your body is warm inside. Little health expert when it comes to like…
Jessica: Because when you’re cold and you pee it’s warm. Science.
Dascha: Yeah, yeah science. And the last one, which is my favorite.
Annie: They’ve all been your favorite. You need to stop it.
Dascha: What’s new? There’s this thing called.. I’m gonna tell you when I’m down with this, penis facial.
Annie: I feel like.. Where are you going with this?
Dascha: We get them all the time. It was a joke. No no no it is a thing, it’s a thing.
Annie: I was about to be like whatchu mean I did that. No just kidding..
Dascha: It is a thing.
Jessica: I'm so dumb. I thought you were meaning a penis had a facial like it had a face.
Annie: Why do you do this Jess?!?!
Dascha: That’s what I thought when they told me!
[Overtalking]
Dascha: If we would have drank before this then maybe I would’ve been like damn penis facials my man need one, you know?
Jessica: Yes that’s what I was thinking. Oh, my God. That's so funny.
Dascha: So what it is, would you try it? Would you try it?
Jessica: Is it like you pick the person?
Dascha: No, I’m gonna tell you what it is before you make a decision.
Jessica: Cause I got really bad pictures in my head.
Dascha: In 2018, Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett admitted to getting this special facial made out of Korean infants foreskins created by a New York
Annie: INFANT FORESKINS.
Dascha: My poor little sons, my poor little son's penis. It was made by a New York esthetician. Hashtag white people.
Jessica: Right?
Annie: Hashtag white people.
Dascha: Because I don't know why I would take my son's little circumcised
Jessica: Penis right?
Dascha: Foreskin and…
Annie: Rub it on my face.
Dascha: First of all, anybody else's little foreskins
Jessica: Right.
Dascha: And put it on my face.
Annie: I gotta step out of this conversation.
Jessica: We have so many follow up questions.
Annie: You know what I’m saying.
Jessica: First of all, these little boys were not like allowing this to happen.
Dascha: They don’t know, they’re babies.
Jessica: Right? But that's horrible.
Dascha: Yeah, they get circumcised. They save the skin kind of like what they do with stem cells. Kind of like.. Placenta.
Annie: I’ll do a stem cell facial. I don't give me I don’t want no little baby…
Jessica: Yes.
Dascha: So we want to be down to do that.
Annie: No no no no no.
Dascha: Other than penis facials?
Jessica: I think we’re good on the skin. Like we're genetically better at this.
Dascha: But we still need to prevent. We need preventative care always.
Annie: Vitamin D, Aloe vera.
Yes, but not with small children’s penis skin.
Dascha: Everything they got out there.
Dascha: Now, that was great, guys. Honestly, on a serious level, you guys are amazing I’m wishing you the best. I wanted to end with a brindis. Right? We're going to do a brindis and you're going to say an affirmation or your wish for the Latinx community for the next decade.
