Welcome everybody to episode number five of the rise above podcast. Today, I'm being joined by a very special guest. A good friend of mine Natia Lemay. Natia is a mother. She's an artist. She's an activist. In the fall, Natia is going to be a student. She'll be attending the Yale Master of Fine Art program. Natia, how are you doing today?  [01:16] Natia: Good. How are you? [01:17] Bram: Doing great. Thank you for joining me. I really appreciate your time. It's a long weekend here and you've been generous with your time to connect and do this episode. Before we get into some of the questions, I'm going to ask you some icebreakers here, just to kind of get the ball rolling. Don't overthink anything. If you want to give simple answers, or if you want to elaborate on anything, feel free. The floor is yours. [01:42] Natia: I will say, I didn't know it was a long weekend until this morning. Thanks for reiterating how stupid I am. I had no clue that Monday was a holiday. I had no idea. I'm like, why is everyone talking about what they're going to do on Monday? Don't people work on Monday? It was a moment. Okay, go ahead. Ice breakers.  [02:05] Bram: All good. What is your favorite book? [02:09] Natia: My favorite book right now is called the name of the wind. It's like a trilogy, but only two of the three have been written and I've been waiting 10 years for the third one. I've read the first one, like three, four times. It's a fantasy novel, but it's beautifully written. I will say my favorite thing about this book is that the main character as a musician and the way the author writes about music, it's like, you can hear the music while reading the book. It's like the most bizarre thing ever, but you can feel the emotion of the music while you're reading it. That's why I love that book, man. Depends on the decade, but I read a lot.  [02:48] Bram: What is your favorite movie? [02:51] Natia: Oh, the matrix always. [02:54] Bram: What did you name your first car? [02:57] Natia: I never named a car. Why is that a thing? I never named a car ever. I remember my best friend's first car. She named it Oreo because she was a white girl in the car was black. She was like a black of the outside and white on the inside. But that was the only time that I've ever met anyone that name their car. Yeah. It's weird. [03:23] Bram: What would be the title of your autobiography? [03:26] Natia: Wow. I don't know. That's a hard question. I have no idea. I can't answer that one. I don't know. My parents had a book written about them. It was called the stroll. Maybe it'd be like the stroll 2.0, I don't know. We do not live the same life. I don't think it'd be appropriate to be named after their book, but yeah, no answer. [03:47] Bram: That's cool. I didn't know that about you, that your parents had a book called the stroll. [03:53] Natia: I can tell you about it after if you want to know, but yeah continue.  [03:57] Bram: Okay. What would be your super power and why? [04:02] Natia: I have two answers for this. If I was to choose any superpower in the world and it's just like mine, for the fun of having a superpower, it would be time travel because then you could do all kinds of shit and like predict the future and come back and fix things. I think that would be dope. But if I was to personally based on like my skills have a super power, it'd probably be something along the lines of like, people listening. I could like use my platform and help elevate voices of others and like, be able to say things that people actually take it seriously and make change based on it instead of like how the world is now. Yeah, I think that's relevant. [04:45] Bram: If you could choose any person from history to be your imaginary friend, who would it be and why? [04:53] Natia: Oh, Tupac always. First off it'd be...
