SISTER-2-SISTER | 👑 MISS ALABAMA, THE PAGEANT FAILED HER, OBESITY IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL!

[@valrice817]

Needed to be said! Thank you Fumi! Body positivity is one thing but celebrating obesity is a no! Not healthy! Be healthy y’all!❤

[@Chrisreactions23]

I agree 100%. Body positivity is different to obesity.

[@Sallyskin]

But how is that any of our business if one wants to be obese let them be

[@DickyPasedena]

It’s really awesome that you aren’t afraid to speak the truth ❤ far too often people are concerned with being politically correct and not offending anyone, and ultimately their refusal to be real about things hurts more than helps. Just like anorexia and heroin abuse should not be glorified, obesity should not either.

[@AJ-jw6yp]

Thank you!! I was hesitant to watch this video thinking it was going to be another "fat positive" push. Thank you for your honesty. A few years ago I started medication for fertility. I gained a lot of weight. My life changed for the worse! I also have an autoimmune condition and the weight gain pushed me almost to my de@th!. Currently down more than 50lbs and much healthier. I hate this is being pushed on our young people. Your organs will not last if you're overweight! I should add, that while I lost weight, being FAT for the time that I was. Did permanent damage to my body and my organs. I now take heart medication. I suffered a pre-heart attack and was on the verge of a stroke in June of this year. I wish someone had told me the truth sooner. I was 5'5 250. For 6 years it hurt my body. Imagine being bigger for longer.

[@JenAgrippa]

It is simply not the natural human form. We evolved as hunter gathers without regular or consistent access to food.

[@kimamethyst6338]

Sorry this happened to you. thanks for sharing your story.

[@shirleychambers6880]

So, so proud of you for addressing this. You are authentic and I love it. Blessings in abundance.

[@phylliswest5587]

Hi Fumi!! Please do a follow up discussion about what’s going on behind the weight. We need to spend more time on why there is an obesity crisis. Please include mental health, history of abuse, trauma and the food industry allowing toxic chemicals to be legal ingredients in our grocery stores and restaurants. So often we make obesity the responsibility of the person, but fail to protect vulnerable individuals and children. Weight is so much more deeper than simply discipline and saying no to sweets.

[@MaryMarisen]

Thank you, I am in total agreement. There should be a follow up delving deeper into this topic 🫶🏾💫🫶🏾

[@kimamethyst6338]

great topic. my family tries to shop at stores that allow local farmers to bring organic veggies. I've grown tomato plants, herbs, etc. But the food industry does allow, more than we realize, bad ingredients in our foods. Like there is a such thing as food grade lye. We are truly unaware of what's really in food and I feel this is why there is so much cancer going on. I've known to many people just get cancer. I sure its food related

[@basproperties2451]

I totally agree with you Fumi, we should not encourage obesity.

[@Comfycozyup]

You are right. I am plus size, and some health issues comes with it. It doesn't take away from the person I am, but it needs to be address and fix. Thanks for being brave on a subject that social media will find a way to misinterpret in a negative way.

[@gloriouslove9009]

It also counts where you carry the weight as well. It is believed that carrying weight in your stomach area is an indicator for cardiovascular disease.

[@carrington2949]

True. It is also why those with bigger hips and butt may very well be healthier than those who do not have the hourglass but carry a bit more weight in their gut.

[@shanekabryan875]

Auntie Fumi! Please do a live on this topic and include me in it. EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS 100%TRUE. I am going through a lot myself Auntie Fumie and I genuinely don't believe obesity is just a lifestyle issue it's also a disease. Please do a live on this topic so I can share my experiences and my findings.

[@lindih111]

I'm worried about myself ,please talk about weight maintenance every so often. We need to hear it loud and clear!!

[@bridgettaylor4194]

I'm with you sis

[@Cianajrich]

I was a 26 at my biggest, I’m now in a 13 and still going. It’s up and down, it’s not easy but it’s completely worth it. I eat better/less and workout in the gym. There is no “easy” button. Thank you for being real Aunti Fumi❤️

[@kubuligal2431]

Keep going. ❤

[@aeternafortuna1644]

I understand the body positivity in getting bigger people to not HATE themselves or be abused by others for their size...BUT they seem to be encouraging and acting like being obesed is fine. It's not.

[@lynnraynor2043]

I needed to hear this. Thank you for being frank, but polite!❤

[@pinkysands]

You say what you say with so much grace. Weight loss is not a joke but can be so dangerous.

[@CorneliaSmith-nx2hv]

Sister Fumi is over here just telling the TRUTH! I applaud you, Sis! Thank you!! We need to hear this truth.

[@azul3900]

I forgot to say, I totally agree. We need to start telling the truth about obesity.

[@ShereeBent]

You are absolutely right Fumi. I am overweight and I fully endorse this.

[@MSBERMUDA]

I truly believe this video was done out of concern and came from a good place. However it has missed the mark. We have no idea about the young beauty queen’s health status. She could have a condition or she could be on a health journey right now. We just don’t know. As someone who has been overweight my entire adult life, I can tell you, it is indeed a battle. I don’t know Miss Alabama personally. What I can tell you, is what I have experienced. If I showed you pictures of me as a younger person, you may not even have thought I was obese or that I looked overweight. Most people didn’t know what I weighed at all. But when I had to step on a scale and the scale did not say what was deemed acceptable, I was constantly told I needed to lose weight. It didn’t help that I loved dance and modeling (two industries that were the harshest on those who were not the status quo). So, I carried on, dancing and modeling but always believing that I was less than because I couldn’t look like the other girls no matter how hard I tried. I was always on a weight loss program. But I was “curvy” before being curvy was a thing. Instead, I was never allowed to take ballet pointe classes because I was “a bit too heavy” and pulled aside at my modeling course to be given yet another diet plan. As time went on I let go of those dreams, and focused on other things, but the weight kept creeping up. When I was getting married, I went on birth control and gained 30 pounds in 3 months. Again, my weight became a discussion of “the concerned”. Years later when I had my daughters, I was at my highest weight ever. No matter what I tried, I could never keep the weight off for long before it creeped back up. Then, one day, I saw an advertisement for a pageant for plus sized women. I entered, competed and won! I cannot tell you what that did for my confidence at that time. I went on to do so many things that I had only dreamed of doing. Why? Because I had the audacity to put myself out there despite my size, despite of what people thought of me and despite of what I thought of myself. Im not going to lie, Im still a work in progress. There have been times that I have forgotten that crown as it were. I have gained and lost weight many times over the years. But it has given me empathy for others who are battling too. I will never judge someone else's journey; I know what that feels like. Like I said, I don’t know Miss Alabama, I’m a middle aged black women from an island so I’m sure we are very different lol. But what I do know is that everyone has a story. Good on her for having the audacity to compete despite the naysayers (I’m sure there were and will be many). Im sure this will be a catalyst for even greater things for her and IF it includes changing her dress size, Im sure she will be successful at that too. Always with love ❤.

[@joycurrence1149]

[@josephinemensah2197]

Literally Me! And I danced my a** off but still have always been curvy

[@Angbwillinspireu]

At 55 I left a sedentary job for an active job where I put in about 4-6 miles moving on my job daily. I eat a lean, healthy diet and I will soon add on strengthening exercises to reach MY personal health goals❤.

[@daymon6868]

FUMI BABY! You’re my girl you know that?! You ALWAYS brighten my day. Thank you.

[@LourdesColon-o3v]

Fumi you are so right! I’m not obese but being real I’m well on my way. Just hearing you I opened my eyes. I want to be around to see and enjoy my grandkids. And live a happy healthy long life. I send you a big hug from Puerto Rico.❤❤❤

[@chicchica44]

Thank you for the loving rebuke. I’m going to be better while I have the time✨🙏🏽 you’re calling us higher ✨😌

[@corriebelle]

As someone who has battled weight for most of my life, I have to say that generally attacking someone for their weight is the worst possible way to encourage weight loss. It took me a long time to find a way that worked for me to lose the weight. I would say if she takes the opportunity to find the help to lose the weight she can become a more effective advocate for a healthy life style. She'll bring a spotlight and a different perspective that others cannot. In my humble opinion, of course

[@carolbryant1855]

That color looks great on you! As I watched this, I was enjoying an unhealthy snack. Along with the supporting videos, kinda left my mouth wide open, not that I wasn't aware. Thank you, timing is everything!❤😊

[@arnieMay-b7y]

Absolutely!!!!! I call it out with my family members and my 'thick' cousins finally get it and are working out

[@shirleyvanarsdalecrabtree2880]

I agree with everything you said Fumi!!! It’s entirely possible that this young lady has lost weight already, looking at where she is carrying the most weight. When heavier people lose weight a lot of times gravity pulls the remaining fat pockets downward, like it shows in her pictures. She obviously has great communication skills and whatever else was judged in this type of pageant. Congratulations to her on that.🤗🌹🤗🌹🤗🌹

[@evekane2423]

I totally agree with you on this one Auntie Fumi. Her health does matter sooooo much. Shes gotta love herself and lose that weight. She's a gorgeous young lady

[@katieyarbrough2483]

Hi my darling, you are 100% telling the truth. I have always been thin, but I had a trauma in my life, and it led to obesity. I am now the size you once were. I’ve just started with stretches and I’m going to walking whenever it’s not raining. You and Christina have been a big influence in my life, and I love you both with all my heart 💞🤗😍

[@mercyambuka9214]

I am slightly overweight,the lower back and feet pain i have experienced this year was excruciating.I had to start exercising .The pain is all gone,I am more at peace ,I sleep better etc.Watching from Nairobi Kenya.

[@shareeminor9125]

Thank you thank you thank you! Everybody is afraid to discuss obesity and the negative effects. I say cancel me: IT IS UNHEALTHY!!!

[@LF-11111]

Thank you Fumi! Reality needed to be stated very clearly. Being as healthy as you can be. To live fully not to just exist.

[@rosebellewaihenya4888]

Watching this in my foldable waking treadmill, is giving me motivation to keep walking. I started snoring a few months ago and I understand how you felt before the weight loss.

[@HoneyMustardMcGraw]

Well how bout you still looked amazing at 220. Keep up the great work!!

[@maame6224]

Well said, hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears or you don't get a back clash!🙏🙏❤❤

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

Aunty Fumi, the first time I began to notice your cheekbone showing, I told myself it was time to get my act together. You and Aunty Christina kept me going..... It's sad that we can't talk about weight gain in many countries; but I'm so happy that I have friends who can call me out on it, because they knew me when I lost weight the first time. This was so elegantly delivered. That's what makes you the best. Thanks for addressing this issue. We CANNOT & SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE OBESITY❤

[@joycurrence1149]

There is a difference between celebrating obesity and celebrating someone who happens to be obese.

[@IdaAJ]

Fums I think the idea may be more body positivity, meaning, love yourself wherever you are in the journey. Or at least, that is what it should be. Even as you strive for a healthier weight, you have to still love yourself at every stage. And why can't there be a pagent for girls and women, while at this size? If it helps with self love, I'm all for it.

[@GracielaDixon]

I agree!

[@formidablezee7368]

The turquoise is lush!!!!!

[@joyfull8092]

Thank you saying this Fumi, many are afraid to speak about obesity. Any advice on speaking to friends about their obesity without offending them?

[@ccleavemebe4790]

Leave them alone. Obese people know they are obese.

[@JenAgrippa]

Move and eat less.

[@monicad351]

Unfortunately overeating, it's an addiction. There is nothing you can say. Friend will get help when or if they get ready.

[@henryijeoma2228]

I don't think there's any way.

[@ajm935]

Only if you are good friends, you can ask if their weight affects them and if they feel like it keeps them from doing anything they want to do. If they say yes, you can offer to start working out with them and meal prepping together!! DO NOT start talking about weight if you are not willing to fully commit to helping them. If you aren't willing to help then it's not your business and don't worry about it. So many "friends" talk about helping but then only want to go out to eat to hang out and don't want to themselves work out. Its easy to put expectations on others you wouldn't do yourself. If she is fine with her size then respect her boundaries and don't worry about it!

[@traycee2837]

Its always SAD to see how we like to make a MOCKERY..Shes heavy but the poor CHOICE IN CLOTHES...😮I'm soon to be 53 and Fumi you are so correct ..Food and Diet , no movement are our main killers..I want to see more of what life has in STORE for me..Thank you FOR always keeping it 💯

[@divinejackie1993]

WELL SAID AUNTIE FUMI.

[@reneegranger6109]

👏🏾👏🏽👏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏽Sister Fumi you are 💯 correct on everything you said. When i gained 15 lbs friends laugh n said i was being ridiculous. With age metabolism changed. I felt miserable and yes my knees did hurt n show size changed just like when i was pregnant back in the day. I wasn't eating a lo my metabolism just needed a wake up call. 🚨📣Yes honey i did everything in my power to get back to me. I'm happier n feel better. 🚨📣To anyone one that says 15 - 20 lbs is nothing. Your wrong. When your body is not used to carrying that extra weight. You can fall into depression etc. Stay healthy everyone. 🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏽❤️. Any typos forgive me.

[@doreenboyd3347]

[@bolaorepitan1188]

Fumi, The topic of obesity needs urgent attention, as it is a major cause of many chronic diseases. At a healthcare conference I attended, I learned that the rate of type 2 diabetes in America has not decreased since 1980; instead, it continues to rise due to our eating habits. Parents must improve their children's nutrition, as many kids today are struggling with high blood pressure. Poor eating habits are the primary issue contributing to obesity, as we tend to become what we eat. I've witnessed individuals who underwent gastrectomy or gastric sleeve surgeries gain back the weight they lost. We need to do better.

[@Dera7101]

Love the outfit Ms. Fumi! 🩵

[@debrapaige9210]

Mrs fumi you are a fabulous my 59s sister I've always been a plain janet an that's OK for me I love how good you make people feel sista please don't ever stop with your upbeat an hilarious messages you are the kind of person that would be a good friend cause your truthful I'm winding now I just turned 59 yesterday you give good advice I love how you love on the human race ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 so thank you Mrs fumi you bring some of us a smile when where not feeling so good thank you fumi

[@naturalblackcocoa]

👏 👏 👏 well said and very tasteful done

[@one_on_trip]

This is so true Fumi, being obsese is not cute it's rather dangerous. That woke mentality of nowadays will kill people, you can't promote this as healthy because it's not. And the thing is i bet a lot of these obese influencers act like they are happy, some of them here on KZbin go get a gastric bypass or sleeve than loose the weight than admit that they were never happy when they were obese. Being plussize is different than being obsese! Thank you for saying it like it is, period!

[@tcoleman6167]

You are right...for health reasons alone, this isn't okay. It's like America is immature, they go from one extreme to the other, sheesh. And I am American and it's easy for me to say this.

[@shaunalinen7689]

Absolutely true, Ms. Fumes!!

[@thecraftress]

I legit was about to have another unnecessary piece of a sugar cookie when Auntie Fumi said "you can stop eating the wrongs things if you really try!" The shame! The guilt! 😭😭

[@EspritsFantomes]

I have 15kg to lose and it’s already very annoying. My mother is obese and she always tells people being obese is the worse. Her back is in pain, her knees, her feet…

[@ngozidibia7278]

I agree with you about not encouraging obesity.

[@kimamethyst6338]

This is a public service announcement. So true. My mother talks about why doesn't this generation care about how they look and their health. Glad you didn't feel uncomfortable talking about it. I'm on the opposite end. I have to try to keep weight on. I almost died as a teen and one issue that my doctors had was I was extremely skinny. I was almost 60 pounds at 17. I wasn't a major eater either. I survived by living in the ICU for a couple of months. And I drink a high dosage formula to help me keep on weight. So if you are way below or way over what's normal weight for your age, it is very harmful to your life. It's good to not neglect your health and even your mental health. Great video Fumi.

[@yolandaemery5355]

Hello Auntie Fumi: Looking good as usual

[@dalehoward3704]

You're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT DEAR FUMI. I'm on a weight loss journey. What I will say is overweight folks and myself need kind people to help you on the weight loss--health journey. Release the mean vicious people and hook up with the people who are kind loving folks and support you in your health journey❤

[@sarahe247]

I hope we don't assume because someone is overweight that they automatically have health issues. There are unhealthy 'skinny' or average weight individuals.

[@roxannecowlesrosado3449]

Since she is only 24, it is possible she has been on the heavier side her whole life. As a result, she is not aware of how much better she will feel if she loses some of the weight because this is all she knows. Also, being so young, youth may be protecting her from some of the more serious health problems that are associated with obesity and that take time to develop. So, like most 20-somethings, she is not thinking about the health ramifications that may occur when she is 'old'. To a 24-year-old, even 35 seems far off into the future.

[@crich8420]

Great commentary Fumi

[@sherryderrywade7712]

Being obese and morbidly obese, especially as we get older, definitely increases the chances of many chronic health issues, namely hypertension , diabetes, certain cancers etc. Of course, her beauty radiates from inside and outside. She is young, and hopefully makes great efforts to decrease her body fat

[@sophiaaiyedebinu5488]

To think Sarah isn't aware of how much she weighs ,Maybe she just wanted feel good about her self.To keep up with those thin women during those activities she maybe already on a weight loss journey she doesn't need everyone reminding her that she is obese.Even with diet and exercise the right way it takes time for the body to show results.Just be cause someone is obese doesn't give anyone the right to bully them to fitness,if this woman was to harm herself due to the well meaning bullying, just because seeing obese person bothers you is your own issues dont project your issues on to every over weight famous person,has anyone even checked to see if this woman has a fitness plan.No reason to be a cause for depression and tearing down others in the so called name of health.

[@iambloopy]

The sooner we realise that attacking or shaming people for their weight is actually contributing to the issue, the better. If someone who is obese is inspired to see beauty with themselves, wouldn’t they be healthier mentally and make better choices? Everyone knows the dangers of obesity but have you wondered what causes it?

[@ImehEsenA]

You want to hear what you want to hear. No matter the cause of obesity, the fact is that it is not healthy. Your heart, lungs, arteries are not in conference and going over notes on the validity of reason, they are simply suffering. Talk to your health care professional on how to lose weight if your gain is medication or thyroid.

[@joycurrence1149]

💯

[@jacquelineg9112]

I would love to know the family’s relationship with food because to be in your early twenties, and be the size she’s become could mean she doesn’t know what a balance meal is. It’s starts from an early age, exposure to different textures and flavours. It takes (I think) 14 attempts to encourage a child to eat something that’s been introduced to them. There are some parents that find it easier to give up and just give their child what they want. Only for the child to grow up to be a picky eater.

[@venthoye6047]

I love watching you... I feel like you are my big sister!

[@lkofie6670]

I couldn't agree more. I remembered before Lizzo, Mo'nique was promoting "Phat" as beautiful and later in life, particularly when she began to age and once she found her current husband, she came to the realization that being overweight or obese is NOT IT in regards TO HER HEALTH. So like Lizzo is suddenly doing, Mo'nique began to drop some weight.

[@smoothmorrison7203]

Commendable, Fumi🎉 ✌🏼❤️🍷

[@DaraKFulton]

Im a plus sized lady but not to this extent. I wouldn't want to be this heavy. I want to have proportions and fit my clothes well. I think when things start to spread out that makes you disproportionate, then its a problem. Obesity is a real problem and it does causes health issues. And fitting clothes when youre big is hard. So I prefer to not be a big woman especially after having 4 major surgeries. Just my opinion. I love my plus sized sisters and brothers but we have to think of our health first. Thank you Aunty for your insight. ❤❤

[@lisalausier4058]

Hi Fumi: I just wanted to mention that it is the 2 year anniversary of Shanquilla Robinson's murder. The lawyer for the family was on youtube show Funky Dineva Live and gave an update of the case. Maybe you could talk to her also.

I agree with you 💯 Fumi..unfortunately some people don't want to hear reality..

[@Michelle-fz1gr]

A lot of people suffer from the spirit of gluttony. If they get rid of that you will see how they deflate like a ballon. Gotta do the spiritual and physical work. I got to 1x last year and I couldn't fit into anything. I said no this year I got to lose weight for my health. Back to a size m and small. Fitting back into my clothes. Health is well.

[@NatalieMartin-oy7ni]

I am with you on that!

[@jayaye1055]

How do you know if that's her issue?

[@ms.d.b.9283]

Sister Fumi, I hear what you are saying about the health benefits of losing weight. I started my health journey after having a serious talk with my late older sister who was hospitalized 25 years ago. I had gotten down 60 pounds before she passed away and continued to lose over 100 pounds. However a work injury has caused me to not be able to exercise like I did and the medication for the brain injury caused me to pick up 40 of what I had lost . It has taken years of finding correct meds and getting back out my blues to lose 30 of the 40 I picked up. So I am 80 away from my goal weight. My doctor says 50.😄but I'm an over achiever.❤😂 My only concern with your statement was saying a women like my self or Sarah want a Denzel but he wants a Hallie Berry. There is a lid for every pot.Because my self esteem used to be low I never took handsome men with great godly character serious when they tried to date me. I even tried to run my new fiance off as a friend then as a boyfriend listening to women say why would a handsome man want a big girl like you?

[@rennie2611]

Just my opinion, I think that inclusiveness is misguided, I get it, we want people to feel comfortable in their skin, but when it comes to obesity, it is not healthy, there are diseases, heart, lungs, diabetes etc. I’m a full size 14, don’t let my size go up. It’s not ok. Thanks for speaking up.

[@daymon6868]

FUMI Baby - girl for real. I’m sorry . I could NOT let myself get like that. I want to live. In fact, ever since the pandemic I went vegan for a few months. I now consider myself “plant based”. Yes I eat meat at times but I’m very particular when I do. Most days of the week I don’t go near meat nor fish. I feel great. My allergies WENT AWAY! Asthma - I never need my medication. Listen to your bodies guys !

[@JustJulezJulezing]

Obesity is certainly not healthy and shouldn’t be celebrated. I also think content glorifying gluttony should be banned. However, I don’t feel it’s right to dedicate content focusing on an individual scolding them because they are obese. What if she was severely underweight and won? Would there also be this strong of a dialogue about how dangerous it is to deprive your body of the calories and nutrients it needs to survive? Are obese people to supposed to hide in shame and be shunned until they are an acceptable weight? Also, this pageant wasn’t the more widely known “Miss America” or Miss USA where the physical fitness of a contestant is considered. The *National American Miss* focuses on confidence, communication, and inner beauty. Does her being obese negate her other attributes that qualified her for the title? Personally, I think this was disrespectful to the young lady and her accomplishment. She’s already received many hateful messages.

[@jayaye1055]

❤❤❤

[@ImehEsenA]

If she underweight or anorexic we would talk about it. Please let’s not love people to death. This is not healthy! At her weight at this age she will die young.

[@joycurrence1149]

Exactly!

[@ajm935]

The only thing I disagree with is if she IS working out and working on herself she should win, even if she is still fat. THAT message is ok. Also if she has some kind of disorder that makes her heavy (like prader willy syndrome) then its terrible to say she should never win a pageant or love herself as she is. That's a terrible message Fumi.

I wish there would be an inbetween in these spaces. Things are super different now from the 80s and 90s which I appreciate, but wow. What about a winner who’s thick and curvy? Something like an off-season bodybuilder (off season meanjng they have the fat on them still, no veins coming out)? Before bodybuilding went to extremes in the 90s, bodybuilders had modeling careers, like Cory Everson. Or even just thicker and curvier…. Different body types…. It’s like they either have to be skinny, or this opposite extreme. There are MANY in-betweens that go ignored and not represented.

"Let's face the elephant in the room...no pun intended". I HOLLERED!!! LOL But yes auntie, thank you for keeping it REAL! As someone who has reversed their diabetes (and I was not obese by any stretch) these people celebrating being big won't be there to chip in and pay for the blood pressure meds, the doctor visits, the glucose monitors and monitor sticks, and deal with the silent ravages that obesity can bring. Especially here in the U.S. where half the population is BIG, the madness has to stop-celebrate HEALTH!

I would feel the same way if the winner was medically anorexic😢

It was an insult to other healthy girls in the competition. I feel sorry for them

Im at 190, so I try to at least dance since I'm not an athletic person but I love video games like Just Dance and dance central. I want to try and at least stay healthy. The only time I would buy junk food is if I go to the movies or i leave the house like going into the city

I'm starting to wonder if by today's standards they gave the crown to her in order to prove something or avoid potential lawsuit being that people could draw the conclusion that or she was discriminated against because of her weight. But as far as I know these type of competitions and modeling industries for example had specific requirements in regards to weight and clothing size and height so that's just the nature of the industry. I also think and agree that it just sends out the wrong message. Frankly it IS BOTH vanity and most importantly health reasons not to become heavy, overweight, or obese.
