- Panda Express?! - Girl, yes.

- I was hungry yesterday. - That ain't gon' work.

- 32 carbs... - There are very few.

I can't wait till I can start squatting like that.

- ...for 8 ounces. Oh, my God. - You are too tough.

I've always wanted to get into luxury real estate.

Before you jump into this,

I want you to come up with a plan.

I know how these mens are.

Don't really rely on his support.

I'm going back to Xavier because me, Britten, and Contessa

are gonna be grand marshals.

A convertible car where you sit on the back of the car

and wave to people?

And then I throw things at them?

You're not throwing it at people.

You're throwing it to them.

- We in New Orleans! - This is awesome!

Oh, my gosh! New Orleans! [ laughs ]

- Watch where you step! - You know it's pee everywhere.

With Phil gone, I do feel, like, abandoned.

Say somethin'. Is he willing

to make more frequent trips for you?

And if he says he can't, then there's a bigger issue.

I wish I had a Xanax.

This one's eating.

What is that? Can I have some?

Mnh-Mnh.

Guys, sharing is caring.

Britten and I were roommates in college.

And Britten's spoiled.

Every week, she would get these care packages,

and she never shared. She's awful at sharing.

[ whispers ] She's such a liar.

Y'all heard the-- the meal bell.

- Get downstairs. - What meal bell?

- It's time to eat. - We wearing the same thing.

Kendra came to me with urgency to feel better about herself.

So we're gonna start warming up on our mats.

We're gonna come down to our knees.

We're gonna hinge from the hips here,

Yeah, but I practice all the time,

especially this position. [ laughter ]

And we're gonna go opposite knee to elbow.

- Pop it up there. - You got this, girl.

- No. - Okay.

I am not going upside down on anybody's rope.

Maybe we should've started off

with, like, Pilates or something.

What's going on, Kendra? How do you feel?

What's going on with you?

I just, with Hart, I think the question is time.

It's overwhelming me.

I get it. When I adopted fitness into my life seriously,

I was thick. I was eating Jack in the Box.

I was eating McDonald's. I was running

to the drive-thru for food. Like, I--I've been there.

If you guys are able to make it through med school, trust me.

This should be a walk in the park for you.

I just keep getting busier and busier and busier.

And what about this interview? What has happened with that?

I went on my interview yesterday, and I loved it.

Tomorrow I have a job interview, and this isn't,

But Hobart doesn't know.

I just don't know about the secret.

I'm not one for keeping secrets.

Well, I mean, because I honestly didn't think

that I would like it.

Did you tell them that you're gonna take the position?

They're supposed to be writing up contracts--

Are we introducing ourselves for the panel thing?

I would just go up there and be like, "What's up, y'all?

All right, let's get the party started."

We're talking to the students that are at Xavier now,

who will be future physicians.

I usually go up there and just...blah,

like, word vomit and then hope that it makes sense.

The three of us are all physicians,

and that is what Xavier takes pride in.

They are number one in placing blacks

in medical school. - No.

I was like, not getting out.

You'll be fine.

- Hey, everybody! - Hey!

- How you guys doing? - Y'all so quiet.

- Hello! Hi! - We're big mouths,

so just so y'all know. - Yeah!

- We talk. - Yes, this is going to be

a candid but lively and spirited conversation about

Xavier women in white coats.

Please welcome our doctors.

Well, we have lots of great questions for you.

What motivated you to become physicians?

My first doctor was a pediatrician,

and he was just the sweetest guy.

So for me, that's really who I wanted to be,

and so that's really what motivated me

to become a physician.

The ratio of black doctors in relation to the population

is--is...oh, God, it's kind of abysmal,

so that's why I do things like this,

because being a patient and seeing yourself in your doctor

is really important.

I grew up in Inglewood.

It's not a good place to be,

and I knew at a very young age, I wanted out of that.

And at the time that I was growing up,

there was a TV show called "The Cosby Show."

- Yes. - That was my blueprint.

I saw a doctor and a lawyer, and they were rich,

and they had this beautiful family,

and I was like, "That is what I want."

- And you did it. - I did it. I was like...

- Look at you. You made it. - [ laughs ]

When it comes to professionalism in medicine,

how is important is work ethic, being driven,

the way you dress? - Oh.

It is extremely important, and unfortunately,

because you're black, you are held to a higher standard.

I'm one of those black folks,

well, people don't know what I am.

So I see how "other people" see us,

and there have been times where I had to go to blows

with people about sh--.

Sorry, y'all are young students. [ laughter ]

This is a Catholic school, too.

- Yes. - Forgive me.

[ laughter ]

Just know you have to be the best, look the best.

You gotta step it up.

Talk about what you have experienced or even witnessed

when it comes to microaggression.

Like, I'm a nurse instead of a doctor.

Yeah, that's exactly right. How do you handle that?

So when I went to interview for the position that I have now,

they asked me, "Are you okay with being

just a staff psychiatrist?"

And I was like, "This application

"that I put in said for 'Medical Director.'

"If y'all want me to be Medical Director, give me that.

If not, deuces. Like, I'm out."

And then an hour later, I got a phone call,

and they were like, "You have the job."

We're gonna wrap up, but I'd like to just go down

and ask you just for a piece of advice

or some final thoughts.

YOLO--what is it? "You only get one life"?

You can do several things in this one life.

Don't be committed to something that you felt today

or feel like you failed because you don't want it anymore

in the future 'cause your life changed.

Ask for help. You cannot do it by yourself.

It's really important during my career

that I'm able to give back, and I wanna make sure

these students have the confidence to know

that they can do what we did--

what me, Britten, and Contessa did,

which was to go from ashy to classy,

to be from pre-med to doctors.

Thank you so much for being with us.

Thank you.

that repped New York extra hard,

but I moved 9 times before the time I was 13,

so I was used to being a loner anyway.

[ spritzing ] - I do miss Phil,

but I've been keeping myself busy with work, and in fact,

I wrote a whole book by myself.

I love the manuscript.

Like, I really love the way that you describe depression

through your personal story 'cause I don't think

a lot of people recognize

that doctors are not necessarily perfect.

There definitely was healing that took place on my part,

but in order for me to fully heal,

I know that I have to go to an outside party.

This book is really, really important to me because

in the black community,

there's still a lot of stigma surrounding mental illness.

This is the first time I wrote a book,

and I wanted to just get the word out about

my kind of journey in dealing with more mental health

and depression and anxiety.

A lot of things that I've heard from patients are,

"It's a white people problem."

But mental health and mental illness

doesn't have a face.

Let's see. I will go with...

I have at times become so depressed that

I didn't wanna get out of bed. I didn't wanna work.

Thoughts? Is it author photo-ish?

It might have a little bit of clash with the backdrop.

- Okay. - You go for it.

Okay, you know, I'll just go with the shorter top first

because--and it's solid.

There would be times when I'd be so depressed

that I would forget to eat for days,

and then I'd look up, and I've lost 10 pounds.

Have you right here on the stool.

- Okay. - And then we'll be good to go.

Okay, perfect. I'll remember to suck my stomach in.

Have you turn your shoulder just a little bit. Nice.

I have the ability to fool people

who don't know when I'm going through something.

That's so funny. I'm like, who is that person?

I can't believe that's actually me.

Imani on the outside is very poised, calm, collected.

Good.

The inside me would be someone who always felt like

like, my--like I always just wanted to just, like,

grip on to something because I had so much anxiety,

just a tangle of nerves.

[ camera shutter clicking ] - Beautiful.

When you're depressed and anxious like I am,

you trick yourself into getting busy,

I'd never thought in my lifetime

that I would be taking my 15-year-old

to see a gynecologist.

Has she ever been to a gynecologist?

She's not having sex. She don't need no gynecology.

Okay, I am so happy I brought that up, girl.

That is a misconception.

Why don't she come see me in the office with you?

Okay.

When I think of gynecologists, I think of babies,

I think of birth control,

and my daughter needs none of the above.

- Knock, knock, knock. [ knock on door ]

- Hello. - Hey, Kendra.

- Hey. - How are you?

- Hey, Lia, good to see you. - Hi. You, too. You, too.

Okay? I'm glad that you brought her in. Hi, Kayla.

- Hi. - I'm Dr. Segura.

- I'm Kayla. - Nice to meet you.

- Okay. So how we doing today? - Good.

I just wanna start off by saying this is just us being casual.

There's no exam. It's just for us to kinda talk

and kinda educate ourselves.

And what I normally do is I talk with you guys together,

and then I'm having Mommy step out,

and then we're gonna have our conversation.

What do you guys talk about when I leave?

We're gonna talk about your body changes...

and what you have to look forward to in being a woman.

- All right. - Do you have any questions

as regards to your body?

Questions about, like, vaginal discharge?

These are the things that nobody likes to talk about,

but we have to.

I have three children--

Kaylin is 4, and Colin Jr. is 3.

And then my oldest, Kayla, is amazing.

She's 15 going on 35.

Okay, Mommy, I'm gonna ask you to step out.

Okay? Sure, she'll be fine.

- You'll be fine. - [ laughs ]

I'll be fine or you'll be fine?

- She said you'll be fine. - You'll be fine.

[ laughs ]

I got pregnant when I was 18.

I had Kayla right before I turned 19.

What you tell me is confidential,

and if you're in trouble or anything,

I'm here to help you, okay? So, Kayla, I'm gonna ask you,

are you sexually active, or have you even kissed a boy?

- Or you know, what's going on? - No, nothing.

I missed out on so much.

Like, I literally graduated from high school,

and then boom, I was pregnant. I had a baby.

Do you have any crushes on anybody at school?

No, all girls. Oh, that's right. I forget.

Is that why your mother brought you in here?

Mnh-mnh.

I grew up ultra Christian,

and my parents put that responsibility

of that talk on the church,

so I think it was just kinda understood that you didn't,

but nobody explained to you, like,

well, what happens when you do have those feelings?

Even if I don't know how to have that conversation with her,

um, I trust Kendra enough to have it with her.

So do you have any questions about your body, about sex?

- Mnh-mnh. - Okay, you know, maybe

you might have questions later.

Any issues come up, you can always come back and see me.

I never really got to understand, like,

what things would make me happy, because I was in survival mode.

I don't want Kayla to go through what I went through.

The next appointment's for your mother.

So next time you can comfort her.

Ooh, child.

Coming up...

So we have our pistachio frutto.

- I'm on a diet. - Yeah.

So this is actually-- I'm just gonna have this.

- You excited? - Yeah.

I thought you might like to do this.

Right here.

All right, look at this.

Hello. Welcome to Le Petit Garden.

Is this your first time visiting us?

- This is. - First, select your pot,

and then you select a plant.

Let's do it! So let's look for pots.

- Pots, pots, pots, pots, pots. - Here's some fun ones.

- Like paint cans and... - Nah.

I'm looking for something more modern.

Okay, more modern.

Ivy is a pre-teen. Once puberty hits...

Oh, what about this?

Very Afrocentric. Taking it back to your roots.

No.

Like, full on? Should I get one for Miney?

Who cares about him?

Period, the boobs.

Lord, that house is gonna be rocked.

- So, Munchkin, little cup? - Yeah!

How was school today? I didn't get to ask you.

Yay, um...Good.

I helped kindergarteners with their language arts schoolwork.

They're like, "Well, I don't wanna--

I don't wanna do it that way. I wanna do it this way."

And then the teacher's like, "Well, listen to Ivy."

[ giggles ] And then she's like, [ scoffs ] "Fine."

- She rolled her eyes at you? - Yes!

Huh. Well, that's interesting,

because I have a certain little daughter who really

enjoys rolling her eyes at Mommy.

[ sighs ]

Sometimes she has a little sassy mouth, too.

- It's very saucy. - Yeah. Mood swings happen.

It's called puberty, Mama.

I think I definitely have a softer touch with my kids

than I had when I was growing up.

You hold it. I'll pour.

There would be times where I would say something to my mom,

and she would just give me a look like, "What'd you say?"

"Never mind. Nothing."

[ chuckles ] Back down real quick.

When I was your age and I got in trouble with Grandma,

what do you think Grandma used to do?

Take away your phone.

Well, we, one, didn't even have cellphones.

Well, first she would yell at me.

Mm-hmm.

She might throw a shoe at me.

[ laughter ]

And then basically, I wasn't allowed to do anything.

- Mm. - It's called being grounded.

When I was 9 years old like Ivy is today,

I didn't have a quarter of the things that they have,

so their expectations and sense of entitlement is like...

Just because we know why you act the way you act,

doesn't give you an excuse to continue to act like that.

They're spoiled.

I say...one of those consequences is that phone.

- [ groans softly ] - Uh-oh.

Here comes the mood.

Do you hear me? Look at me.

- I know. - Okay.

Pinkie promise.

This attitude's gonna start to get a little better

now that you are aware...

Cross, cross.

No, you can't cross your hair.

- I'm just... - You can't erase the promise.

I just--

The pinkies have united, young lady.

Yes, that would be good for me.

Jazmin--she wants everything to be absolutely perfect.

Where'd you steal those from? Is what I really wanna know.

Actually, I bought them off of Amazon.

She has the same body fat percentage

as a cardboard cutout. [ slurps ]

- Like, what is that? - Taste cup.

One thing you will not say about me

is that I don't reach my goals.

[ laughs ] The most-- One of the most ridiculous things

I've ever seen.

I want abs. How do I do that?

By making sure I have taster cups

when I go to places that have ice cream.

That's why I got lipo.

- Oh, my... - 'Cause it's food insurance.

But, see, you know what? I like you

because you got that, but you still work out.

- Oh, yeah. - A lot of people don't do that.

No, I mean, I do that because--

- Stress reliever. - Yes, because I...

Oh, yeah.
