THE GRLTLK GUIDEBOOK COMPANION GUIDEShow Notes + Directory of specific people, places, & things mentioned within this episode: Show Notes: 📝Period Brain Fog 🧠 - is in fact a supremely legit thing beyond just me and my world. Here’s more on that👇🏾courtesy of one of my fav magazine’s: NEW YORK MAG'The Hazy Science of ‘Period Brain’How to Correct One’s Self: 3:09 🤦🏾‍♀️“There may be a phone call in progress. . .” not process. 6:46 Not that shows are the whole deciding factor of whether or not I’m in an on or off season but when I am doing shows, it’s usually indicative of the fact that I am present socially and out in the world, not tucked away in on off season growing through massive upgrades so as to be an elevated form of self.8:22 I understand that the terms “management” or “friend” may be less strange than Fairy God Father in the world’s of other’s but terms dripped in a gloss of magic are more my speed + it’s the proper description in my world.10:49 🤦🏾‍♀️“Otherwise would have gone disconnected. . .” not unconnected.14:50 Queue ‘An Angel Sings’ off of Vintage; it was written (about the person I was involved with that I’m discussing here) with the sentiments of this moment at the forefront. p.s after this treacherous and visceral heartbreaking moment I told God back then, “Okay, I don’t need to receive my lessons the hard way anymore.”28:15 Just to clarify Nana’s illness timeline. Yes, She’d initially gotten ill in 2015, she had been diagnosed with Dementia in 2013 and told no one, in 2015 it began to show it’s face and I briefly took care of her from the end of 2015 into early 2016 until she went to stay with Auntie Mia. In 2017 she returned to the Bay Area & had a stroke while in the middle of a conversation with me and this is when everything began to go down hill. 39:08 🤦🏾‍♀️I knooow, it’s sickle cell anemia. blame it on the brain fog. I told you out of the gate that I was experiencing blank stare style moments. 53:22 When I say a throwback to a more highly musical time in Black American musical culture, I’m talking about when Jazz & live instrumentation were center stage in Black American Music, not computer or machine generated beats.Glossary: On & Off Season DBXCO. SUPER GLOSSY THEORIES: The DBXCO. Super Glossy Theories are theoretical concepts + notions about life and living conjured up by way of Darling Bonnie & Company, derived from observing ourselves & others. The ‘Super Glossy’ element refers to my “religion”: ‘Supernatural Gloss’ which is a demonstration in the merging of the etheric/spiritual body (supernatural) and the physical body (gloss). As the supernatural is something that can’t be touched nor explained (The Divine) & the gloss represents the very tangible physical vessel of our glossy beings, all of which meshes with the emotional and the mental bodies to form our individual oneness. The theories are a colorful study in the art of living & the poetry of being.Guidebook Mentioned: Music MentionedLive Shows Mentioned:Images Mentioned:People MentionedMaryam HasnaaAndré Leon TalleyFilms MentionedSeries mentioned: This is a public episode.
