- I'll give some of my story.
I was raised in Brown Sub.
- What's that?
- It's the hood, it's the projects.
- Okay.
- I never really understood where I fit in
because when I was in an environment
where I was surrounded
by African Americans,
I just thought that I was
one of everybody else.
But then when I'm there, it's that,
"Well, you speak Spanish
and you're too (mumbles),
"so you're not part of us."
So then I end up going to the Latino side,
where my Dominicans, my
Cubans, their Latino,
and then they're like,
"Well, you're too black
to be on this side."
So then you find yourself not knowing
where the hell is it that I fit.
I'm not good enough to
be part of this culture
that doesn't belong to me,
but I'm influenced by it.
But then I'm not good enough to be
part of my own culture because
amongst our own people,
amongst our own light skin Latinas,
you're seen like, "Well,
you're the black one.
"You're not like us."
So, I really--
- What do you identify as?
I'm sorry to stop you.
What do you identify as?
(dramatic music)
Because you're saying that,
on one side it sounds really tough.
It sounds really painful, Amara.
You saying that the Spanish people,
they're like, they won't accept you.
- What is going on now?
Wait, do y'all have something going on?
- No.
- [Suki] You sure?
- So, with that being said,
this was a great event.
- Maybe that was the wrong question.
Oh I don't know, I just
asked what you identify as,
that's common.
- That's great.
- I don't understand why
Amara acting like this.
I'm sorry you got issues with your man,
but that is not no excuse
to have this negative
stank ass energy towards me.
I was only trying to help you.
Bitch please, bye.
- Y'all wanna get that
out the way right quick
so we can get back--
- Get what out the way?
- What do we need to get out the way?
- [Hood Brat] Pre, say what you wanna say.
- You got tension?
What's the problem?
You being real rude.
- Amara, why you doing that to her?
Oh (beep) (laughs).
- [PreMadonna] That's what she does.
- Damn, so what's going on here?
- Ask.
(dramatic music)
- Oh Amara, what's going on?
- I don't know, I think she's sick.
Y'all need water?
- Pre, did you do something to her?
- I think you need to
mind your own business
and leave me over here on this side.
I have not even acknowledged
you the whole night.
- I thought going to a brunch
with women supporting
women would be good for me.
Take my mind off the things
that's going on with my man
and my life.
But it turns out that I can't go anywhere
without it turning to a situation.
- Don't play me, Amara.
You came here with toxic negativity.
- My negativity. (gasps)
- Listen energizer bunny, cut it out.
Goodbye, goodbye.
- Pre, Amara, we supposed to
be representing black girl--
(speaks in foreign language)
- I don't (beep) choose
to be a stereotype.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Pre, Pre, Pre, Pre,
Pre, let me ask you--
- No, because be a real bitch
and say what's on your mind.
Girl, I ain't got time.
- What's on my mind is that
I don't (beep) with you.
- No, let's address the
elephant in the room.
This bitch in her feelings
because she told me
she was feeling some type
of way about a (beep).
I brought that bitch the source.
- Wait, this is the tea?
This the tea.
- She said that (beep) suffocating her,
so I brought another bitch
who he done drained and suffocated.
- Whoa, well so this is about a (beep)?
- [PreMadonna] It's about her (beep).
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, everybody!
You're mad at her because she got somebody
to tell you about your (beep)
'cause you said your
(beep) was suffocating you.
- She chose to bring my
man's ex-girlfriend--
- From six years ago.
- To come and sit down and talk to me.
- If y'all hoes ain't finning to get
in agreeing, that's it.
- This is not what you want.
- I am ready to go 'cause
I can't deal with it.
(speaks in foreign language)
- Leave me alone.
- Girl, everybody don't
gotta fight like us.
Sometime bitches like arguing.
(laughing)
- So anyway, this event,
yes this is great.
- Yeah, this is a beautiful event.
- Ladies, come on.
- Beautiful black women.
- I thank you guys for
coming, but it's time to go.
(hip hop music)
It's hard because everybody
say that I'm ghetto,
but PreMadonna and Amara
was the last people
that I would think that would
turn up like that at my event.
But I see that PreMadonna got
a lotta hood up in on that ass
and Amara got a lotta
hood rat up in that afro,
that they've been hiding.
- [Amara] I think we should
have security come now.
Now, security.
- [PreMadonna] What's up with you?
You for real?
What's up with you?
- [Amara] You need to get away from me.
- [PreMadonna] Oh no, what's up?
No, I'm talking to her.
What's up with you?
- [Amara] You need to get away from me.
- This is gonna end here.
- I agree, it's done.
- [PreMadonna] Today.
- It's done.
- It's not, it's not
because you came here,
you was real saucy.
You look saucy, you disregarded.
I didn't even know there was a problem.
Last I left, I'm thinking,
"Okay, I done helped Amara out."
- I would had appreciated
if you would have called me
beforehand to tell me
you were gonna bring--
- Thank you.
- My man's ex-girlfriend, that's one.
- Thank you.
- Two, if you chose not to call me before,
you could have done it while we sat down,
and say, "By the way, I
am bringing somebody else
"to our lunch date,"
and you didn't do that.
So, at the end of the day,
if I feel some type of way,
I wish you would've understand.
If you don't, my respect, that's fine.
- Listen to me, you see that?
I respect that 100% whole heartedly.
- But why did you keep
looking for me there?
- Listen--
- I chose not to talk to you
'cause I didn't wanna do it
in front of the people.
Why we have to do it there?
- But listen, you did it.
You made it so obvious.
- But why?
- Could you agree that
you did make it obvious?
- Why?
- Could we come to a common ground?
- I did.
- Thank you.
- And I thought that that was hint enough
that I didn't wanna talk
to you there at the table
with everybody else.
- It's too obvious, Amara.
- This event wasn't about you or me.
- It was about us.
- It was about Suki and what she's doing
for black girls, period.
- For women, black women period.
- So then why did you
have to make this moment
about you and I?
- Aye, yay, yay.
- I didn't even wanna talk to you.
- And that's fine
'cause we are associates
by nature, not friends.
- I wish you nothing but the best.
- I wish you nothing but the best.
That's how it's gonna go.
- Have a good day.
- You have a good one too.
