I feel like they'll probably get into the creative space in some way
0:03
But I don't know, I feel like because I've been through it, I'll be a good person to kind of like monitor it
0:08
And I think having someone that's done it and been in it, like help with it and help them, I think is going to 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
0:28
and ultimately I just want to have fun like when you think about being in a group for like 12 years like that's a it's a very long time
0:40
but obviously I had the best times of my life but I think you only really we only really ever owned
0:45
a quarter of something to be able to do what's authentic to you um I think that's a really
0:52
amazing feeling and yeah to be able to just explore my artistry and do the music that I
0:58
that I really really want to make is a really free feeling
1:06
The sisterhood that I have with the Little Mixed Girls is something that will literally last forever
1:10
like I think the fact that no one else will ever understand our experience like only each
1:19
only each other, you know, only we will ever understand fully. So having that sort of connection with them
1:26
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 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
that for me is so important. Even though they're not with me, they're still with me
2:11
Yeah, I definitely feel like, as a person of colour, that that is the reality
2:16
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 um social injustice and like
2:33
equality I think for me it's always really important that I continue to speak up and where
2:37
I 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 basically where it like a helping hand to other black led 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
3:16
like isn't letting anything hold her back. And like they're the most important thing for me
3:21
So yeah, whatever I do now, like they're learning from. Oh my gosh, they literally are little girls
3:29
I can't even call them toddlers anymore. They have so much attitude and I'm like, girls, please, you're three
3:36
But no, they're absolutely amazing. They've got such personality. They're just hilarious
3:42
Yeah, and they're going into school soon. It's just, it's wild. It just goes so fast
3:48
But yeah, and they love music. They love all my songs. Number one fans
3:54
But yeah, they're amazing. I definitely feel like the juggle is a real thing
4:00
like that is just oh gosh yeah I don't feel like you ever really have it figured out as well like
4:06
this sort of balance thing um the mum guilt too like I definitely still get that um I just have
4:13
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 god my mum's a boss like yeah I want them to to think that
4:20
gosh I just want my children to be happy I think like that's that's it you know like do whatever
4:28
makes them happy and just always know that they can do anything like don't let anything hold you
4:34
back they just go for it um 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 my new single been a minute
6:02
