I feel like they'll probably get into the creative space
0:02
in some way. But I don't know, I feel like, because I've been through it
0:06
I'll be a good person to kind of like monitor it. And I think having someone that's done it and been in it
0:11
like help with it and help them, I think is gonna be quite valuable
0:15
Hi, I'm Leanne and this is No Filter. I want this era to feel free
0:24
It's all coming from me. I want it to feel fierce. No holding back
0:29
And ultimately I just want to have fun. Like when you think about being in a group for like 12 years
0:38
like that's a, it's a very long time, but obviously I had the best times of my life
0:42
But I think you only really, well we only really ever owned a quarter of something
0:46
To be able to do what's authentic to you. I think that's a really amazing feeling
0:54
And yeah, to be able to just explore my artistry and do the music that I really, really wanna make
1:01
is a really free feeling. The sisterhood that I have with the Little Mixed Girls
1:09
is something that will literally last forever. Like, I think the fact that no one else
1:14
will ever understand our experience, like only each other, you know, only we will ever understand fully
1:24
So having that sort of connection with them and the ability to call them whenever I want and be like this just happened today or like cause I know that they will understand and that they be there So that just priceless Like that friendship and that sisterhood is everything
1:42
It's such a sort of weird, like the idea that we were together all the time
1:47
And then now in this industry, it's like you're kind of like on your own, I guess
1:52
Yeah, as a solo artist, it can get quite lonely. So adjusting to that is quite strange, but being able to literally call them whenever
2:00
like that for me is so important. Yeah, even though they're not with me, they're still with me
2:11
Yeah, I definitely feel like, yeah, as a person of colour, that that is the reality
2:16
Like this idea that you do have to work 10 times harder. as I'm going into this new era like I'm I'm not really thinking about that anymore I'm literally
2:25
just doing me and as long as I keep speaking out about injustices and social injustice and like
2:33
equality I think for me it's always really important that I continue to speak up where I
2:37
need to my way of thinking now is literally just just take the pressure off have fun and do you
2:45
like, you've already done it. You've done it for 12 years. So now, just do you, girl
2:57
I have a foundation called the Black Fund and it's basically where
3:01
it like a helping hand to other black charities And we working on a project at the minute of Grounded Sounds I have kids now as well like I have young girls that I raising
3:13
They need to know that their mum is strong as hell and like isn't letting anything hold her back
3:18
And like they're the most important thing for me. So yeah, whatever I do now, like they're learning from
3:28
Oh my gosh, they literally are little girls. I can't even call them toddlers anymore. They have so much attitude and I'm like
3:33
girls, please, you're three. But no, they're absolutely amazing. They've got such personality
3:40
They're just hilarious. Yeah, and they're going into school soon. It's just, it's wild
3:45
It just goes so fast. But yeah, and they love music. They love all my songs
3:53
Number one fans. But yeah, they're amazing. I definitely feel like the juggle is a real thing
4:01
That is just, oh gosh, yeah. I don't feel like you ever really have it figured out as well
4:06
like this sort of balance thing. The mum guilt too, like I definitely still get that
4:12
I just have to keep remembering, like, you're doing it for them, you're doing it for them. Like, you want them to look at you and feel like
4:17
God, my mum's a boss. Like, yeah, I want them to think that. Gosh, I just want my children to be happy, I think
4:26
Like, that's it, you know, like do whatever makes them happy and just always know that they can do anything
4:32
Like don let anything hold you back Just go for it Yeah I just want them to excel in whatever they do and yeah happiness number one Leanne being kind to herself I think it like positive affirmations I think I need to um
4:54
stop being hard on myself like when it comes to just everything taking off the pressure and just
5:01
being grateful and content for what I've got around me. Like, I literally wake up and I'm like, damn, like
5:07
I've got these two beautiful girls. Like, I've got an amazing husband. Like, I've got a beautiful, like, life
5:12
And, like, with amazing... I've got love. Like, love is literally, like, so rich in love
5:16
And for that, I'm so grateful. So I've been thinking about it because I feel like they're quite musical
5:24
Like, one of the girls loves to play piano. She plays it really, like, softly
5:29
And, like, I'm like, oh, God, I think she's going to be good. um they love singing they love dancing I feel like they'll probably get into the creative space
5:36
in some way um but I don't know I feel like because I've been through it I'll be a good
5:42
person to kind of like monitor it and just like hopefully limit social media because for me that's
5:47
the most toxic thing um yeah I think having someone that's done it and been in it like
5:54
help with it and help them I think is going to be quite valuable but yeah who knows what they'll be into though it could be anything
6:00
my new single been a minute is out right now and that was no filter
