00:01:33,553 --> 00:01:36,639 They actually live in matriarchal societies. 32 00:01:36,722 --> 00:01:40,518 When the females are born, they stay with their moms 33 00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:44,897 and sisters and aunts and grandmas forever. 34 00:01:44,981 --> 00:01:47,525 So, currently, we do not have a matriarch. 35 00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:50,486 No one has taken that role just yet. 36 00:01:50,570 --> 00:01:52,989 The two moms, Vasha and Donna, 37 00:01:53,072 --> 00:01:55,783 they just happen to like their own space. 38 00:01:55,950 --> 00:02:00,329 However, Kianga, Nadirah, and

feathers, 117 00:06:12,373 --> 00:06:14,083 and it's just like if you're going out 118 00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:17,545 for a night on the town and you put on your eye shadow. 119 00:06:17,837 -->
