So I recorded this episode that 26 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: you're about to hear in July, and it's just crazy 27 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: listening back to my own story. Plus I'm also just 28 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: proud of all this ship that I overcame. I mean, 29 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: two years ago, I was literally starting back over from 30 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: a bad investment. I was in a toxic ass relationship 31 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: which we will get too later, and overall, I was 32 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: just trying to figure it out on my own. Thank 33 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: God for the podcast, child, because man, this was literally 34 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: my main source of inspiration. So y'all know, for every 35 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: new level, there's a new devil and sometimes I'm just 36 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: always in all of my own shrunk because damn, near 37 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: two years later, here we are. The PhD podcast was 38 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: in Glamor Magazine and Pop Sugar, and I mean talk 39 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: about a yes, bitch moment. Like when I found out, 40 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: I was so excited, but it really just made me 41 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: realize that this is only the beginning. I also felt 42 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: like I was preaching during that episode because I'm so 43 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: passionate about holding yourself down and not relying on anybody, 44 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: because y'all know how people loath throw shooting your face 45 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: when they like to remind you all of these they 46 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: did for you. So it's very rare to really how 47 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: people in your corner that's gonna be hold you down, 48 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: gonna see you through things, and just be there through 49 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: thin and thinness. So I'm very adamant about creating multiple 50 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: trains of income because we all know that we can't 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: trust corporate America, especially when you're a certain color. Okay, 52 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: so what's that being said. Here are some updates for 53 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: the PC podcast. So for those of you that don't know, 54 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I research, I record, I edit, and I published all 55 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: of my episodes for my show. Keep in mind that 56 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: I do have a graphic designer that I adore so much. 57 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: Shout out to her because she gets the kid.

Um? 247 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: So growing up? My childhood is not no walking apart. Um, 248 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: I am the oldest out of three one, two, three, 249 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: I'm like I am the others out of four. And um, 250 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, me and my mother didn't have the best relationship. 251 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: My mom used to literally beat my ass every chance 252 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: she she can get um and then one time she 253 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: beat me up so bad when I was a kid 254 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: that went to school where I busted up, And it 255 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: was so funny because my childhood first of the time 256 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: knew that I had something was going on, or they 257 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: knew that my mom had did it. They know the 258 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: whole story, and I told her, but it was kind 259 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: of weird that the teachers didn't even notice it, which 260 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: was like kind of me. Thinking back on it now, 261 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of like bizarre. So I have not spoken 262 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: to my mother, and you know, I can't even tell 263 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: you last time I spoke to her. I think the 264 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: last time I saw her was at my grandmother's funeral 265 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: and she looked like hell. But that's another story. But 266 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: I have not spoken to her and like forever, and 267 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I struggle with, 268 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: which which is a question I'm gonna answer her. Um, 269 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: But you know, I never could understood why my mother 270 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: never really looked with me, like they're like, she just 271 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: did not like me. And it doesn't bother me now 272 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: because I made peace with it. You know. I think 273 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: one thing that I had came to the realization of is, 274 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: you know, our parents that they owned demons that they're 275 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: working with, and I had to come to the conclusion 276 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: that it wasn't me. And it's such a hard pill 277 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: to swallow because it's like, that's your mom. But you know, 278 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: I had to forgive her in order for me to 279 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: keep growing and moving away that I need to grow 280 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: because one day I do want to have kids. And 281 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: I used to be so afraid to have kids because 282 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: I'm like ship, she was so freaking evil. I'm like 283 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: this if she had hereditary because I didn't want to 284 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: be passing she bown to my kids. You know, I 285 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: really wanted to break that cycle. So and that's why 286 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: I was so excited about doing the Mommy Issues UM episode. 287 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to it, that one is a 288 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: must listen to because I feel like we're so quick 289 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: to talk about daddy issues, but you know, money issues 290 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: is real and I can so relate to that UM 291 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: that episode and I received so many emails because everyone 292 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: was like yo, like Nias really don't be talking about 293 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: the issues they have with their mommy. And when they 294 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: do talk about mommy issues, they talk about it with 295 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: the men aspect, but they don't never talk about it 296 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: with the women aspect. So I was very proud of 297 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: the episode.

So, um, 330 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: the reason why drugs, the I'm addicted to drugs, I'm 331 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: addicted to drug story Part one, Part two was so 332 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: near and dear to me and shout out to my 333 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: guests on that one. It's because my father is a crackhead. 334 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: So when I was growing up, I used to have 335 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: like this soft spot, this weakness for like seeing people 336 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: that was addicted to drugs. Until this day, I'm still 337 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: like that because I used to be like wow, like 338 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: like it was it was to really like do something 339 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: to me. And now years later I found not the 340 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: reason why it was because you know my father, it's 341 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: one of them. But you know that relationship didn't really 342 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: last because you know my father, um is still on 343 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: and off drugs. So you know, I do believe that 344 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: when you get to a certain age and you're trying 345 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: to protect your energy, like you gotta take your energy 346 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: at all calls, and that's also including your including your 347 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: family members.

But yeah, 351 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: I want to give a special shout out to them 352 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: because you know, in the midst of me going through 353 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: so much with my mom, I was able to listen 354 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: to stay with them. I stay with my friends almost 355 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: every day of the week. I remember you to sleep 356 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: in the best with them on the couch, like their 357 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: moms were really supportive, you know, they was really there 358 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: for me, so shoutut to their moms, and you know, 359 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: like my childhood was really rough. And then you know, 360 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: the one person who was always there for me, who 361 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: also always get me unconditional love, was my grandmother um nana. 362 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: So for those of you didn't that know me or 363 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: know how I feel about my grandmother, you know, she 364 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: transitioned three years ago and that was a very hard 365 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: tough period for me because you know, I never understood 366 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: the meaning of death. I never understood have people how 367 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: you could be here one day and we go on 368 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: the next. So you know, you know I took I mean, 369 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: I still struggle with it now, but not as much 370 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: as I used to. And I always I was having 371 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: this conversation with my friends. So she's listening, She's probably 372 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,239 Speaker 1: gonna be smiling, and you know, I was telling her 373 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: because people knew that my grandmother was like my mother, 374 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: like that was my mom, I wrote off, she was 375 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: my everything. And my friend was telling me how she 376 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: still struggled with her mom not being here and her 377 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: mom not being here for like I think she transition 378 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: maybe like ten years ago. And you know, one of 379 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: the things my grandma used to always tell me is 380 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: that you know, and when somebody transitioned, you not have 381 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: an angel, you not have somebody you know what that 382 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: energy feels like, and you don't lie and energy moves. 383 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: So I was one of my friends. I was like, 384 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, when you sense that your mom is new, 385 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: or you feel that your mama is new, or you 386 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: either see something their minds you of your mom, that 387 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: means your mom is there with you. So you know, 388 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: for anybody out there they're struggling with like many things 389 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 1: go having a hard time with the transition of your 390 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: loved ones, know that your loved ones is always with you. 391 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: And I really do believe that, like till this day. 392 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: If I'm having a hard time, boom, I see something 393 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: aud me and my grandmother, or she just gives me 394 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: like little signs or like the University of Me signs 395 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: let me know that I'm not in this by myself. 396 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: So I never feel like you anything by yourself, because 397 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: your loved one is always going to have your back. 398 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: So that's pretty much here about my childhood. I mean, 399 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: for the most part, I used to love one of 400 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: my friends houses. I used to love reading, I used 401 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: to love coming to New York and just visiting my Grandma. 402 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: I mean, my summers in New York were like the 403 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: best parts of my life. So funny because when I 404 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: walk around certain neighborhoods and I literally see my younger 405 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: stuff and my grandma walking around, and it just it 406 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: just brings back so many good memory. So shout out 407 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: to New York man. Um. My next question, why do 408 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: you think entrepreneurship is so important? So I went to 409 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: grad school, I got my m b a. And general 410 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: management and entrepreneurship. Um. Listen, everybody's not meant to be 411 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: on entrepreneur But that doesn't mean that you can have 412 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: a passion project. You can't have a side hustle. You know. 413 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: I think for me, what really made me preach and 414 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: like really tell people have the need to have you 415 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: have their own it's because recently when the government has 416 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: shut down. You know, growing up, a lot of people 417 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: would be like, oh, you need to have a government 418 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: job because government jobs are like it's safe, right, But 419 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: then when the government gets shut down and you ain't 420 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: got no money coming in, it's like what the fund 421 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: is you supposed to do? I remember when the government 422 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: shut down had happened recently, and you see all these 423 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: black women and these black people on TV and they 424 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: cry because they can't pay their fucking bills. And I 425 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: was just like, no way, Like that ship was really 426 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: like bothering me, excuse me. And the reason why I 427 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: was bothering me so much is because it's like back 428 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: in the day, they teach you how to get a 429 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: job and that's it, But what if you lose that 430 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: job whatever that happened. That's the reason why I'd be 431 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: telling people, Yo, what came. You gonna make some money 432 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: on the side, and it ain't gonna be something you 433 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: do full time, but it needs to be something whereas 434 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: God forbid, if ship hits the fan, you know you've 435 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: got some money coming in that's gonna hold you down. 436 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: So that's why I always tell people like, you know, 437 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: even if you don't want to think that the thing 438 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: that entrepreneurship is for, you, just do something. And it's 439 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: so funny because I was reading something and they said, wonder, 440 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: for you to become a millionaire, you gotta have at 441 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: least seven incomes coming in, not just one, not just 442 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: to seven. And it's so funny because I was telling 443 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: people like, yo, everybody was telling me about all these girls. 444 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: That's making so much money. But I'm like a lot 445 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: of them be scams. But the ones that are legit 446 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: making money, you know, they got at least three or 447 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: four different ways that incomes coming in. So whatever you've 448 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: been like thinking about that, you feel like, oh, should 449 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: I or should I do that is gonna work? Just 450 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: do it. I can't tell you how many businesses I 451 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: had before I really found what my purpose was. I mean, 452 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: I had a T shirt company where I was growing up, 453 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: which was up with pretty girls shirts. I did that 454 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: in college. You know, it was so funny because like 455 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: I just wanted to do it. Just say I did it. 456 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: But I remember like I was like one of the 457 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: first people really doing T shirt designs, going to different 458 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: t shirt mane factors, Like like I was really in 459 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: the t shirt game and that went really well, but 460 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: I was just like, like I guy off my list. 461 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: I did it was next. And then you know I 462 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: had a networking organization with Fred and like that didn't 463 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: work out. You know, I had an accountability company and 464 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: that was good, but you know, holding other people accountaboys 465 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: that saks a lot of work. Especially I was doing 466 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: like at least like five good clients, you know, I 467 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: was thinking about doing a gift wrapping company, so we 468 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: were example, and I had a dress rental company where 469 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: girls who like rent like one of the conddresses and 470 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 1: that was doing good, but it just took a lot 471 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: of work. And one of the reason why I didn't 472 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: fall through with that was that one is because my 473 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: grandmother passed away. So I was just like I've but 474 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, being an 475 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: entrepreneur is not for the week at heart, and I 476 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: think that's where a lot of people get twisted at, 477 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: Like it takes a lot of fucking work to like 478 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: be an entrepreneur. I can't tell y'all how many times 479 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: I get so frustrated, I get so pissed, I'm so angry. 480 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: I pring one minute, I'm happy in the next minute. Like, 481 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: entrepreneurship is no joke. And you know when people always say, oh, 482 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: you got the same hours as Beyonce or this person, 483 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: it's like, honest, say no, you fucking don't. Because a 484 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: lot of us when we start off with these these businesses, 485 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: we're still working on nine of five. So like with me, 486 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: I wake up a last spotor it's just like every 487 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: morning I do at least three hours going to blow 488 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: my work.

I 527 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: took a break, but I was going to a lot 528 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: of events at the right of my honest recasts. And 529 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: sometimes I have like a little cold. And since you 530 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: can get things a cheaper price, and I just really 531 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: loved the question of home girl. I'm one of the 532 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: many reasons why I created the Professional Homegirl the platform 533 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: itself is because you know, when after I lost my grandmother, 534 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: I was just like, yo, I know, I can't be 535 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: the only person that's going through everything that I'm going through, 536 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: and so I wanted to create a resource for other 537 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: women to know how to deal with certain things and 538 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: then just kind of like birth into this platform. And 539 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: then after a while, I'm like, y'all, like, you know, 540 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to retain somebody's attention when you're 541 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: trying to um talk to them, when you're trying to 542 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: make them read something, So like, how else can I 543 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: get somebody? How can else? How else can I get 544 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: my p G my proquestional home goes out their attention? 545 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: And that's when I came up with the PFC podcast, 546 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: And I cannot tell you, y'all, that has been the 547 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: best decision I have ever made. The PhD podcast has 548 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: been doing so amazing. So that's why I'm asking y'all 549 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: to please make sure y'all leave a review and tell 550 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: me what you think, because that's the only way I 551 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: can know what to take out, what to keep it, 552 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: what they work on like well for the most part, 553 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: and then we're knock on some wood. It has been 554 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: doing really amazing, Like right now I'm on iTunes and 555 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: five stars in Um. I think when I even told 556 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: me that they saw the podcast on What's New and 557 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: what to listen to the apples, So I'm really excited 558 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 1: about the content that I've been creative. Um. The reason 559 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: why I started evon a Beauty is because I just 560 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: always been into beauty. Like I love makeup, I love 561 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: feeling like a woman.

I 564 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: don't think that one woman is just one dimensional. You know, 565 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: we have so many different layers in us, even with 566 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: like being a mom, a girlfriend, a wife, a sister, 567 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: is a business woman, like, we just have so many 568 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: different faces that we were. So I want to make 569 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: sure that I'm embodying and capturing the essence of being 570 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: a woman, which is Ebane's beauty.

A beauty 575 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: it's all about enhancing what you already have. And like 576 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: I said, no shade, no teeth, but like I really 577 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: the lashes are just so beautiful, So please stop asking me. 578 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: But I like you don't ask me.

Okay, 584 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: now my next question is, and this was a good one, 585 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: what do you struggle with? Um? So right now when 586 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: I'm currently struggling with is finding balanced. I mean it's 587 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: hard trying to do everything you want to do. Like 588 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: I have a notified you know, I have myself to 589 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: make sure. I need to make sure I'm always good 590 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: at all times. I have my boyfriend, uh, I have 591 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: Ebon a Beauty. I have the PhD podcast, I have 592 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: the Professional home Girl. Like that is a lot. I 593 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: love being around my home girl. So it's just like 594 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: trying to find that balance is something that I'm really 595 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: like working on because like I found myself like like 596 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: really like stressed out because you know, sometimes I'm so 597 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: into like the P ANDG podcast Professional Home during everything 598 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: beauty that I neglect, you know, myself, where I neglect 599 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: my boyfriend, like and it really bothers me because I 600 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: really want to be the best version in all aspects. 601 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: So you know, that's one thing I'm currently trying to 602 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: work through. Another thing that I struggle with is some money. 603 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of people struggle with money, 604 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: but they're not being honest about it. So you know, 605 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: growing up, I didn't have the resources and my parents 606 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: didn't teach me anything about how to manage my money. 607 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 1: So a lot of things that I'm paying for now 608 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: is the mistakes that I made in the past. I 609 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: don't really feel no way because I know that once 610 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: I get myself out and get to a certain point 611 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: that I want to be at, I know it's gonna 612 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: be all worth it. Uh So funny got a funny story. 613 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: I was telling my friends about this and he's like, Yo, 614 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: you should share the story.

I know 659 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: nobody like to be broke, but I am a firm 660 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: believer that anything worth having is worth fighting for and 661 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: things will work out. You know. I think that sometimes 662 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: we get mad and we're like, yo, why it's happening 663 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: to me? But you gotta realize that things are working 664 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: for you. So just keep going. Don't give up. Another 665 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: thing that I I struggle with in the past, what's 666 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: comparing myself. So you know what, the way that social 667 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: media is, everybody's out here living their best life, right, 668 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: so nobody is really putting their losses out there. So 669 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: I always tell people that you cannot compare what you see. 670 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: Everything is about perception. So I used to like compare 671 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: myself from I would drive myself praise. I feel like 672 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't enough, and I had to realize, like, girl, 673 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: you are enough. Girl, you have an NBA, girl, you 674 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: have this, you have that, you're mad creative, like you 675 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,479 Speaker 1: gotta give yourself props and anybody gonna hold you down 676 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: the way you hold you down. So all you got yourself, 677 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: So just give yourself props. Stay out on Instagram. I mean, 678 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: I love using Instagram because I'm I can that's I'm 679 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: able to meet people. I'm able to like, you know, network. 680 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm currently working on a couple of ads and sponsorship 681 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: deals for the podcast, so it's like, you know, I 682 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: really use it as a business too.

I mean, 706 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: even though he gets on my fucking nerves, but like 707 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: I have never met a man that has held me 708 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 1: down as much as he has.

So you know, I'm very 716 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: thankful to being a relationship. You know, he supports me 717 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: and all aspects. He helps me with my business. He 718 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: like he goes hard for my business that go for 719 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: some time. So it's just like you know, you really 720 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: gotta get somebody that really believe in you, that really 721 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: believe in everything that you're doing. And I'm just gonna 722 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: give you that positive outlook on things. You know. So 723 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty much most of the things I struggle with 724 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: or I'm struggling with now, which is you know, I 725 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: think the main component is just balanced. Um My next 726 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: question is why did I create the PhD podcast? So again, Um, 727 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: like I said, I have a lifestyle platform called a 728 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: Professional Home Girl, And like I said, a lot of 729 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: it an't got time to be reading, right, Like I 730 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: love to read, but a lot of people don't like 731 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: to read. People are either want to see it or 732 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: they want to hear it. So I create the podcast 733 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 1: and every since I can remember, I love sharing stories, 734 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: like I love talking to women. I love talking to 735 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: them about the struggles and how they overcame. I'm like, 736 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: I am such a girl's girl. So when I came 737 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: up with the idea, I was just like yo, like 738 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: all the podcast would just be such a dope way 739 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: in podcast. I mean, it's so funny because like podcast 740 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: is growing, but a lot of people don't know about it. 741 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: When I meet people and I'm like, hey, I have 742 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: a podcast, I told them. It's about the like oh 743 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: ship like really. So that's one of the main reasons 744 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: why I create the podcast. It's just it's just like 745 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: to grow my brand. Another reason why I create the 746 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: podcast is I want to people to empathize with each other. 747 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: I feel like as a society we're so quick to judge. 748 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: They judge each other, but come on, guys, I don't 749 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 1: know why. I'm sorry, I'm thirsty. M hold on, guys. 750 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: Mm hm. So I feel like as a society we're 751 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: so quick to judge each other, like, oh, this person 752 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: is homeless, oldest person has aids. But it's just like, yo, 753 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: if you really knew their story, you wouldn't be so 754 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: quick and judge. And the reason why my guests are 755 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: anonymous because I wanted people to know who their story is. 756 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: I wanted people to hear what they have to say 757 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: because a lot of times, when you have a face 758 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: behind us in front of a story, you you negate 759 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: the story. But now that you want to have a face, 760 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: you have no churs but to listen to the story 761 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: right now. I got to a point that the stories 762 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: be so good and they'd be so real and they'd 763 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: be so raw that people want to know more about 764 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 1: the person. They want to know who the person is 765 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: when they do all this other stuff. So I'm very 766 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: proud of the content that I've been creating. Uh you know, 767 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: just thank you for sharing these stories, like keep sharing 768 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: them with your friends stuff, because you know, it needs 769 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: to be a point where we each one teach one. 770 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: We all need to learn from each other. And I 771 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: also feel like, you know, one of my favorite jay 772 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: Z lines is whope did that? If you want to 773 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: go through that? So if people are telling me exactly 774 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: what they did, hopefully they make your life a little 775 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: bit easier, you know. And another thing. One of the 776 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: reasons why I wanted to create the PHG podcast because 777 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to change narrative of black women. I am 778 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: so sick of time people saying that black women are 779 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: so aggressive, so uh, we're souldier for soul, that we're 780 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 1: so passionate. But it's like, nigga, if you can walk 781 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: even an inch and the and these women shoes and 782 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: you'll be sucking passionate too. And I just so tired 783 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: people saying that black women is just a black women 784 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: is that? And it's just like if you would know 785 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: where black women go through on a daily basis, Like 786 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: we have to work twice as hard just to get 787 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: half as far. So I wanted to change narrative of 788 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: what people perceive black women should be. And I want 789 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: to do it one story at a time. And it's 790 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: so funny because my white home girl hit me up 791 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: and she was like, Yo, like I didn't know black 792 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: women go through so much and y'all keep so much 793 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: bottle in And I'm like yeah. So it's just like 794 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: it infuriates me when I hear people saying, oh, I'm 795 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: passionate this net. I'm like, Yo, my nigga, could you really? 796 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: Could you really do the things that? Could you really 797 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: go through the things that I've been through as a 798 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: child growing up to where I'm at now in life 799 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: and still look and keep my head upon and keep 800 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: my saying the team and still look as good as 801 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: I do. No. So it's just like I think it's 802 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: important that we take charge and telling our stories and 803 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: selling people tell it for us. Uh. And then my 804 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: last question is, you know, somebody asked me what are 805 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: your freatser goals?
