[00:15:19]>> Yes, >> these are the vibes.

[00:15:23]>> But we will be leaving soon, y'all. The sun is about to set and we have somewhere to be. We're leaving the derby.

[00:15:32]Walking to the lot to our Uber. I don't know. I feel like if I had to compare this year's derby to last year's derby, I think I would vote last year. That was better. If y'all had to give it a one through a 10, what's your score?

[00:15:49]>> I can't see.

[00:15:50]>> Let's see.

[00:15:50]>> I mean, I enjoyed myself cuz it's my first.

[00:15:53]>> Okay. I can't walk backwards.

[00:15:54]>> Okay. But you have to score it.

[00:15:56]>> An eight.

[00:15:56]>> I say eight, too.

[00:15:58]>> Yeah.

[00:15:58]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:16:01]>> 8.5. Okay. So, what would have made it a 10?

[00:16:06]H thought provoking options.

[00:16:09]>> Vegetarian option.

[00:16:10]>> That's true. That's true. Tipsiness.

[00:16:12]Tipsiness.

[00:16:12]>> Is it a word >> for you? You wish you were tipsy.

[00:16:15]>> Yeah. A little bit more.

[00:16:17]>> There were options.

[00:16:20]>> But the thing is that I came already with some wine.

[00:16:24]>> Girl, with some wine. You went trying to get tipsy for real.

[00:16:29]>> It was fun though. But I think last year was we had a ball.

[00:16:34]Yeah, definitely.

[00:16:37]>> Yeah, last year there were so many more people who dressed up. This year a lot of people didn't dress up really.

[00:16:44]>> So, I don't know. Will we come back next year? Probably.

[00:16:48]>> I'm sure we will. But I did meet a lot of my subscribers, so that was cool.

[00:16:57]16 minutes and 52 seconds. This has got to be the shortest vlog on the channel.

[00:17:05]Oh my gosh. Actually, it's been about a week since the derby. And I didn't even show y'all where we went, but it was a very nice intimate poetry night with a guitarist. It was such a vibe. But yeah, I didn't show it because it was such a intimate space. It was about 20 of us and people was over here spilling their hearts out. So, I'm not going to put them on blast like that. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah. As y'all can tell, your girl got her hair braided.

[00:17:32]I went back home to my family at Rapunzel Hair Affair. No more of me being a stray dog in these streets. I'm done. I had to go back home. No more experimenting with salons. Okay, I'm done. But I must have been in the house working, planning, strategizing this year and things of that sort. But yeah, I want to get back out and explore and see more of Nairobi. I feel like there's still so much for me to see. We had some trips coming up, girl. And I just don't know what's going on with that because if y'all are seeing everything that's happening with the straight up Hermuse regarding oil and jet fuel, we supposed to be going to Europe. Literally in the heart of the season, they will be running out of jet fuel. So, I don't know what's going to happen. I have been in Nairobi for 6 months now. And I'm ready to hop on a flight and I'm ready to travel and just go to a new place and see something new. I don't know what's happening, but in other news, your girl is back on Instagram, so make sure y'all go follow me right now if you haven't already. I have big goals for my Instagram, and I need your help to help me get there. Thank you. But yes, that is it for this video. I know it's so short, y'all. I promise I will never have a video this short ever again. You can guarantee that. I feel like I wasn't even in this vlog really. Like, was this even my vlog? I don't know. But I hope y'all enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure I'll be at the derby next year. I'll just be sure to lower my expectations cuz I feel like genuinely last year was so much better. TK was with me. It was just me and him. We didn't leave till a good 10:00. We kicked it all day and all night. Okay. This year we left at a good 6, I think. Yeah. And it felt like we could have left earlier. I don't know.

[00:19:14]But yeah, that's it for this video.

[00:19:17]Thank y'all so much for watching. I made me some Brazilian lemonade. So good. If y'all haven't had it, look up a recipe on Tik Tok and thank me later. It's so good. But I'll see y'all in my next one.
