Raphael Harry [00:04:16]:
That's alright. And I know you got a lot of best friends, but that's good for now. So I know there are a lot of things that you find exciting, such as music, movies, art, superheroes, and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Klara [00:04:33]:
Mhmm.

Raphael Harry [00:04:34]:
Okay. So how where do we start? Let's start with superheroes. What are your favorite superheroes?

Klara [00:04:44]:
Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy. Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales are my favorite Spider-Mans.

Raphael Harry [00:04:53]:
Okay. So Spider-Man, the Gwen Stacy and Miles, and more Morales Spider-Man are your favorite. Mhmm. Are there any other superheroes that you like?

Klara [00:05:08]:
Black Panther and Shuri.

Raphael Harry [00:05:13]:
So is it T'Challa and black and Shuri Black Panther or just Shuri Black Panther?

Klara [00:05:22]:
I love them.

Raphael Harry [00:05:25]:
Do you love them both?

Klara [00:05:28]:
I like, oh, 2 of them.

Raphael Harry [00:05:31]:
Oh, Black Panthers. Okay. What what what else? Any other superheroes that you like outside of Spider-Man and Black Panthers? Are you sure?

Klara [00:05:54]:
New food chef cake.

Raphael Harry [00:05:58]:
I didn't hear what you said there.

Klara [00:06:00]:
I said I first have to think.

Raphael Harry [00:06:04]:
How long do you need to think about that? Okay. While you're thinking about that, why do you like Spiderman?

Klara [00:06:20]:
Because once AC, it has white and pink and blue, and I like these colors altogether. And I like them because they always know if somebody's coming there next to them or not. They just use their fighting version and catch them.

Raphael Harry [00:06:44]:
And what about Miles Morales?

Klara [00:06:48]:
I like Miles Morales because he's best friends with Glenn. And in the new Spider-Man, I could see a picture of Glenn and Miles Morales And and Glenn lives where Miles Morales lives in Brooklyn. I also like Miles Morales because he also lives in Brooklyn like me.

Raphael Harry [00:07:22]:
But Gwen doesn't live in Brooklyn. But yeah. Oh, yeah. You're right. Miles Morales lives in Brooklyn. So shout out to Brooklyn. How do you say Brooklyn is in for Miles Morales?

Klara [00:07:35]:
New York.

Raphael Harry [00:07:37]:
I don't know. When you say Brooklyn when you're talking about Miles Morales, how do you say that?

Klara [00:07:44]:
Brooklyn.

Raphael Harry [00:07:46]:
Nope. You're supposed to say, Brooklyn. Brooklyn. There you go. Alright. So what about Black Panther? Why do you like Black Panther?

Klara [00:07:55]:
I like Black Panther because he can climb and keep get and he can get claws from his suit and scratch scratch the bad guys and stuff. And I like Cherry because she has braids and ponytails, and I also wear braids and ponytails sometimes.

Raphael Harry [00:08:26]:
Oh, alright.

Klara [00:08:28]:
And she's brown like me.

Raphael Harry [00:08:30]:
Okay. Awesome. Awesome. So let's move on from superheroes to music. I know I know some other superheroes that you didn't mention, but we won't dwell on that for too long. What about music?

Klara [00:08:48]:
I like I like the little one stitch. Like, I like the little one stitch song when it begins. I like that song because it's Stitch making funny words in the song.

Raphael Harry [00:09:08]:
That's the language, but, yeah. It's it's not really a funny song, but it's a cool song. But, yeah, it's a language from, I think I think it's Maori. Is it is it Ma no. No. No. It's not Maori. I have to look it up.

Raphael Harry [00:09:21]:
But, yeah, that's not far out of the air word. But it is a cool song.

Klara [00:09:27]:
Mhmm.

Raphael Harry [00:09:28]:
So Lilo and Stitch don't count as heroes. That means Stitch.

Klara [00:09:35]:
No. Well, they count the little for you heroes because there are these things that are experiments, and they try to get the experiment. The experiments don't do too many things to the world Ah. Where they live.

Raphael Harry [00:09:54]:
Okay.

Klara [00:09:55]:
And Lilo has a sister, and sometimes the sister well, the sister mostly in the movie tells that she's going to work at stuff.

Raphael Harry [00:10:12]:
Okay. So are there any other songs that you like?

Klara [00:10:19]:
I like I like songs from Spider-Man because there's because they're cool, and I like older songs on my playlist. Like, the song I mostly like on my playlist is Brown Skin Girl.

Raphael Harry [00:10:41]:
Brown Skin Girl? Who sang it?

Klara [00:10:46]:
I forgot.

Raphael Harry [00:10:48]:
We always forget, but you and how did you come to have a playlist?

Klara [00:10:55]:
I I think about all the music that I love and thought, it'll be fun if I had a playlist to put my own music on, so I picked a playlist for myself to have.

Raphael Harry [00:11:14]:
And how did you make the playlist?

Klara [00:11:18]:
My dad helped me, and we decided on songs that I liked by listening to them, and then we had to find a channel to put the playlist on. And then we made a playlist. And when I heard Brown Skinker, I liked it. I wanted it and then I was also brown skin, so I wanted it on my playlist.

Raphael Harry [00:11:54]:
Well, well, well, that's not the true version, but we'll take that for now. Because, yeah, it took you, like, over a year before you signed up for Brown Skin Girl. But, yeah, that's that's more like it, and I'm the one whose whose job it is to build the playlist. So you have a playlist on Spotify and on YouTube.

Klara [00:12:14]:
But I got to pick the music.

Raphael Harry [00:12:16]:
Of course. It's your playlist, not mine. I ain't gonna give you my playlist. My playlist is too, you know, it's too gangster for you. Know what I'm saying? But will you you want why, you know, commit teenager? I know you can start doing your playlist by yourself. Get a job. Go start paying for your playlist. I'll pay for it right now.

Raphael Harry [00:12:38]:
So which are those songs? Well, again, brown skin girl is by Beyonce or Queen Bee.

Klara [00:12:44]:
Mhmm.

Raphael Harry [00:12:45]:
But you gotta say it so you remember.

Klara [00:12:48]:
Brown skin girls by Beyonce and queen bee.

Raphael Harry [00:12:52]:
Queen bee. Queen B.

Klara [00:12:54]:
Or Queen B.

Raphael Harry [00:12:55]:
There you go. And she has another song. She had, like, 3 songs on your on your playlist. Right? Yeah. Which other song? The one where you do that at the beginning. That's the clue I'm giving

Klara [00:13:15]:
you. Power?

Raphael Harry [00:13:18]:
My power.

Klara [00:13:19]:
My power.

Raphael Harry [00:13:22]:
And at the beginning of the other song, where you're talking about being grown, where the kids are dancing. Grown woman.

Klara [00:13:34]:
But they're teenagers to me.

Raphael Harry [00:13:38]:
With the kids. They're teenagers. They started there are videos of them dancing as kids and as teenagers and then as an adult self with her cousin, Kelly Rowland. And then what other songs do you like? You have a lot of songs on your playlist.

Klara [00:13:53]:
I like a song.

Raphael Harry [00:13:56]:
Just mention your favorites.

Klara [00:13:58]:
If you wanna be my lover, that's one of my other favorite chunks because I sing it every day. I go in the school bus.

Raphael Harry [00:14:09]:
And that's by who?

Klara [00:14:15]:
I forgot.

Raphael Harry [00:14:17]:
I know. You, like, you forget. As soon as you you put on the spot, you always forget. And when you're at home, you remember. It's by the Spice Girls.

Klara [00:14:26]:
By the Spice Girls.

Raphael Harry [00:14:28]:
That's right. And how did you learn that song?

Klara [00:14:33]:
I, I listen to it. Wrong. Who

Raphael Harry [00:14:40]:
introduced you to that song? Papa. That's right. What about your favorite German song?

Klara [00:14:51]:
It's the song today. I heard it on my mom's phone, and it's called. It's in German, and I like singing it.

Raphael Harry [00:15:07]:
Say, say it louder. Sorry.

Klara [00:15:08]:
And I so there's a song that I listened to on my mom's phone called, and I like that song. I sing it at school sometimes.

Raphael Harry [00:15:26]:
Why don't you have it on your playlist? Because you have a different German song on your playlist.

Klara [00:15:31]:
I have it because my mom has already a lot of German songs for me, and then I have a playlist of a lot of English songs. I went with a lot of German songs, so it makes a little sense when I wanna listen to English or German.

Raphael Harry [00:15:52]:
Oh, so you have different playlists for different parents. That's what you just admitted to. Alright. The secret blue secret is out. That's what the audience just found out. What about your favorite Nigerian song?

Klara [00:16:21]:
You're thinking about that one.

Raphael Harry [00:16:24]:
Do you need a clue?

Klara [00:16:27]:
Yes.

Raphael Harry [00:16:43]:
Zehn.

Klara [00:16:46]:
Zehn?

Raphael Harry [00:16:46]:
What is Zehn in English?

Klara [00:16:57]:
I don't know.

Raphael Harry [00:16:58]:

Klara [00:17:00]:

Raphael Harry [00:17:19]:
Nigerian song.

Klara [00:17:22]:

Raphael Harry [00:17:24]:
Do you remember it now? NATO c.

Klara [00:17:30]:
Naeto C.

Raphael Harry [00:17:31]:
10 over 10. Now the audience has been wondering, that's not whiskey to all those Afrobeats. No. Because that song came from way before Afrobeats came on the scene. So it's a classic. Yeah. So, there are some songs that, you didn't mention, but I know once in a while, those are the songs that you just love singing from your other superhero who you forgot to mention, like Moon Girl.

Klara [00:18:01]:
Yeah. Like, you forgot to make a moon. That's the one I was thinking.

Raphael Harry [00:18:07]:
I'm surprised. That's one of your all-time favorite superheroes.

Klara [00:18:13]:
A lunch on my birthday. A kid gave me a birthday card with a moon girl sticker on it. A moon girl.

Raphael Harry [00:18:23]:
The kid gave you a moon girl sticker?

Klara [00:18:26]:
There was a moon girl sticker on the front of the card.

Raphael Harry [00:18:30]:
Who's that kid?

Klara [00:18:32]:
I don't know.

Raphael Harry [00:18:34]:
I don't think that. I don't think anybody has given a moon girl except me. So don't be giving some kid cred for what I gave you. Look at that. Giving somebody else credit for my hard work. Do that. Go kick that kid in the butt. Uh-uh.

Raphael Harry [00:18:59]:
Yeah. So what do you do, what do you do for fun? What do you like to do for fun at school? I started superhero and you know?

Klara [00:19:06]:
But I like to do it at school for fun play with my friends, foresee family, and sometimes even teenagers. Maybe we are teenagers, and we don't have any parents. We're just teenagers.

Raphael Harry [00:19:28]:
What do you guys do as teenagers?

Klara [00:19:31]:
We hang on our beds. We pretend to play video games because we get to play at the roof for recess, and there are foam blocks and also blue and we always need the foam blocks because Luis is like, we need the foam blocks for the bags. And when we're playing RC, we need even we need, like, even more, foam block because then Jolene comes to play and starts being a crazy horse. He escapes, breaks the walls. It's just too crazy, but Jolene.

Raphael Harry [00:20:12]:
So you like playing pretend video game with your friends?

Klara [00:20:17]:
When we're teenagers, we sometimes play pretend video games. Today, we played family, and the baby had a loose tooth, which was Luisa. We pretended I saw slime everywhere, even on the walls.

Raphael Harry [00:20:47]:
Oh, man. So you play pretend video games at school as a teenager, but at home, you play real video games twice. Yeah. And then you'd be like, I wanna, you know, this too much work. You are priceless.

Klara [00:21:13]:
It takes forever for me to get a star map in the rocket ship video game.

Raphael Harry [00:21:23]:
But the first time you played a video game, you finished it, the watermelon video game on Netflix. Mhmm. So why have you never played the video game again?

Klara [00:21:38]:
It's because I was planning to do better things.

Raphael Harry [00:21:43]:
Yeah. That's okay. That's fair enough. That's a good answer. So what what else you like to do in in the house, you know, outside of playing with your toys? Do you like to garden? Do you like to, you know, read books? Do you like to, you know, cook? Do you like to

Klara [00:22:01]:
I like to I like to watch Lilo and Stitch a lot after my dad's soccer is done. Then I watch Lilo and Stitch.

Raphael Harry [00:22:16]:
I don't have soccer every day, by the way. It's that you're just using recency bias. I was watching international matches recently. That's African qualifiers. That was it. But go ahead. Continue.

Klara [00:22:32]:
And I also and in the morning, when I wake up, I get to watch my playlist. Because my dad always puts my playlist on it, and I when I come upstairs, I see my playlist stitched on.

But but we didn't wanna go in there because the sun was shining through, and it was very sweaty. And and at that at that one place play playground, there was this black thing where you can run down and up. Like, it was running up, and then I went back down and was doing exercise.

Raphael Harry [00:33:45]:
Alright. So, what is your fun your favorite subject in school?

Klara [00:33:56]:
To learn to learn about words because then you get better at reading and reading and reading and reading and reading and reading and reading and reading.

Raphael Harry [00:34:10]:
So is it English words or German words or both words?

Klara [00:34:14]:
Both. Because we have so one classroom is for English, one classroom is for German. And and Dylan's class is 1 a and I'm 1 b with.

Raphael Harry [00:34:29]:
Who's Dylan? Because the audience doesn't know Dylan, so you have to let them know.

Klara [00:34:34]:
Dylan. So one of my friends in kindergarten that was in the Tiger Groups, and and and the first time we met in the bus, that was the like, the first time I went in the bus. And then the first time I met her in the bus, we we were we were having fun together till she was 5. We were then, like, standing on our heads in the bus.

Raphael Harry [00:35:06]:
Standing on what?

Klara [00:35:08]:
On our heads. Because we were like Okay.

Raphael Harry [00:35:11]:
You don't have to show me. It's okay. It's fine. I believe you. I'm not

Klara [00:35:14]:

Raphael Harry [00:35:17]:
Alright.

Klara [00:35:17]:
And, like, I'm a show you the little new poses, but, like, I did a split in the air and cut one foot out, and then the other foot was on the other side of this like, on the other top part of the seat. Because we both were very flexible, so we both could do it.

Raphael Harry [00:35:40]:
Alright. But So I

Klara [00:35:42]:
could do it I could do it the most. The dealer was like, you could you know, you wanted the best. I can't do that.

Raphael Harry [00:35:52]:

Raphael Harry [00:38:50]:
9999. Why did you say basketball first?

Klara [00:38:55]:
Because I forgot.

Raphael Harry [00:39:00]:
Was it because of the fun you had when we went to watch the WNBA between Liberty New York Liberty and Seattle Storm?

Klara [00:39:09]:
Mhmm. Yes.

Raphael Harry [00:39:13]:
So you want to play basketball? You want to try out basketball or what?

Klara [00:39:18]:
I have done that in sport, but then the basketball just goes away while I'm doing it. Why?

Raphael Harry [00:39:24]:
When you try to bounce the ball?

Klara [00:39:26]:
It goes away.

Raphael Harry [00:39:28]:
No. You keep bouncing it. You

Klara [00:39:31]:
I love to go and catch my basketball.

Raphael Harry [00:39:35]:
Yeah. But you have to learn how to get control of the bouncing.

Klara [00:39:39]:
But that was in kindergarten.

Raphael Harry [00:39:41]:
Yeah. So you you don't I'm

Klara [00:39:43]:

Even when we try to watch the beginning of dub this WNBA season, Caitlin Clark, injuries, you were like, 9 until I took you to Barclays Center, and then you were shouting what were you shouting that day while watching the game? Defense. You gotta say it into the mic.

Klara [00:40:14]:

Raphael Harry [00:40:15]:
Yes. And then you became a New York Liberty supporter at the end of the game. I said, oh, this is fun. So you're back on the basketball trail. Okay. So you also like soccer.

Klara [00:40:37]:
But I don't know why I'm not in in soccer anymore.

Raphael Harry [00:40:42]:
Well, you didn't show interest in soccer. You know? I was like running in the first place.

Klara [00:40:48]:
I was interested in soccer.

Raphael Harry [00:40:50]:
You are interested in playing? Girl, you didn't like you're the one who doesn't like running. When they say run, you'll be like, I'm taking my time. I'm just, you know, I'm just, you know all the kids running. You're like, I don't wanna run. I'm just, you know, I just didn't I ain't feeling this. You know? I

Klara [00:41:12]:

Klara [00:44:00]:

Raphael Harry [00:44:02]:
There's a sport I watch more than gymnastics. I watch gymnastics during the Olympics and World Championships.

Klara [00:44:11]:
Yeah. I don't know. Correct?

Raphael Harry [00:44:16]:
9?

Klara [00:44:19]:
Running?

Raphael Harry [00:44:21]:
Athletics. Athletics? Yes.

Klara [00:44:24]:
I don't even know what the athletics mean yet.

Raphael Harry [00:44:29]:
You know, I've tried, girl. It includes running and sprints, long distance running, jumping. Yeah. So so any more questions?

Klara [00:44:48]:
What's your favorite place to explore? What's your favorite place to explore?

Raphael Harry [00:44:54]:
That's a great question. Do you mean in Brooklyn? Anywhere? Anywhere. Anywhere. What's my favorite place to explore, anyway? That's actually a good question. Anyway, gotta narrow it down somewhere. If it's in Brooklyn, that's I'll say Prosper Park. Well, not just the neighborhood because it's always changing because they're always building. Their new building's coming up and they're, you know, old stores keep leaving, closing.

Raphael Harry [00:45:27]:
So there's always something new popping up in the neighborhood. So we keep losing, yeah, we keep losing restaurants and stores and

Klara [00:45:39]:
That's why we make it something else, which could also be fun.

Raphael Harry [00:45:45]:
That's right. So, yeah, it's always nice to explore the neighborhood. You walk to streets that I haven't walked up to and Nice

Klara [00:45:53]:
to go to other places where you never been.

Raphael Harry [00:45:57]:
Mhmm.

Klara [00:45:58]:
And you just found out that you could go there?

Raphael Harry [00:46:01]:
Well, yeah, I try to every now and then to get my 10,000 steps. If it's then it's good to go to cities that you haven't been to in a while. So, like, you know, I was in DC, Virginia area. I told you, I used to live in that area way before you were born. Your grandma, Amelia, lived in that area, and we still have family there. So I was there about a few weeks ago for a podcast conference.

Klara [00:46:32]:
And how many steps?

Raphael Harry [00:46:34]:
How many what?

Klara [00:46:36]:
How many steps?

Raphael Harry [00:46:38]:
Oh, I didn't walk from Brooklyn to Washington DC. Hell no, girl. What are you talking about? No.

Klara [00:46:45]:
No. How many steps?

Raphael Harry [00:46:47]:
Oh, how many steps do I do in the area? I try to do 10,000 steps, a minimum of 10,000 steps a day.

Klara [00:46:53]:
10,000 steps?

Raphael Harry [00:46:56]:
Yes. Girl, if you're playing sports, you do more than that. So

Klara [00:47:00]:
yeah. How much?

Raphael Harry [00:47:02]:
When you get a little bit older, I'll get you a watch that can tell you how many steps you're taking in a day.

Klara [00:47:10]:
With my grandma and grandpa, they have a phone telling them that, and it's so hard to know which one's which because they're both the same. They both have black colors.

Raphael Harry [00:47:23]:
They know which is which.

Klara [00:47:25]:
I get confused.

Raphael Harry [00:47:26]:
Don't worry.

Klara [00:47:27]:
I should put stickers on all of us. Yes.

Raphael Harry [00:47:30]:
That's a great idea.

Klara [00:47:32]:
They too know that that one is mine.

Raphael Harry [00:47:34]:
Yes.

Klara [00:47:34]:
And not get confused with.

Raphael Harry [00:47:37]:
Okay.

Klara [00:47:38]:
I got. This is.

Raphael Harry [00:47:42]:
So you have another question? No. Okay. So should we end the recording here?
