Speaker 6: I always tell people I can't tell you how you

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 6: can hear him versus how I hear him. It's gonna

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 6: be different because everybody didn't have the same gift that

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 6: I have. However, I will tell you that thing that

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,360

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 6: speaks to you through other people. Now you can have

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 6: a thought about something you ain't told nobody, and then

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 6: somebody comes saying, you know what I was thinking, you

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 6: know what you should do?

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 7: And you'd be like, I been thinking about that.

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 6: That's him saying, let me send it through somebody else,

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 6: because you won't be of a handle if he came

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:56,920

Speaker 11: There's a level of joy that has Southern hospitality compassed

58
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 11: the room.

59
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,280

Speaker 5: Everything is aligned here, the love movement love.

66
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 10: So Tabitha Brown, I guess the best way to describe

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 10: is an entrepreneur, restaurant tour author, huge on social media,

68
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,680

00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 5: Just so she checks fashion icon. Yeah, we're don't put

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 5: that on the list now.

74
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 9: Obviously she checks off a lot of boxes.

75
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 10: And I feel like this conversation is going to be

76

Speaker 9: Is a lot of a lot of things happening here.

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 5: And the journey is incredible.

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 11: I think people you know may not know the journey,

82
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 11: but a lot of character building goes inside that journey.

83
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 11: A lot of you become and the things you've learned

84
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,240

Speaker 9: No problem.

90
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 10: So all right, so let's get into this. I know

91
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 10: you're from North Carolina. Yes, born and raised. Yes, small town.

92
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 10: Shout out to eating. Shout out to everybody. Ain't eating

93
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 10: all five people.

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 11: All, seventy y'all, thirteen, twenty y'all in the city we

95
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 11: love all. I just added the whole city of listeners.

96
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 10: But all right, so how does this journey start? I know,

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 10: you know you became a vegan because of health issues.

98
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 10: She was also an actor, right, and then you go

99
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 10: extremely viral on social media in a very short period

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 10: of time. That's an accomplishment within itself. I don't think

101
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 10: I've ever heard anybody ever doing that. But all right,

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 10: so where does it start as far as for you

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 10: on your journey to where you are now? Does it

104
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 10: start with the vegan or does it start with being

105
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 10: an actress? And like, how does it get to like

106
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 10: this where we're at now?

107
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 7: I mean, you can't get here without the beginning it started.

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 7: And you know, as a child, I always wanted to

109
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 7: be an actor.

110
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: I grew up watching Cosby Show, and my first introduction

111
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 6: to acting or really understanding what it meant, I saw

112
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 6: myself in Rudy and I was like, I want to

113
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 6: do that.

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 7: I want to be Rudy Springing. So I told my mom.

115
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 6: She said, oh, you want to be Rudy spreend. I

116
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 6: was like, no, only in the TV. And it was like, oh,

117
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 6: that means you want to be an actor. And so

118
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 6: I spent all my childhood trying to figure out, oh,

119
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 6: how do I do this thing?

120
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 7: Because you know, for me and so, nobody was an actor.

121
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 6: And so I started doing you know, plays in school

122
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 6: and I would tell any teacher if there was a production, oh,

123
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 6: I want.

124
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 7: To be an actor.

125
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 6: Now that I know what this word mean. So they

126
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 6: would put me in plays and church theater. I grew

127
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 6: up in the church, so doing church theater, community theater,

128
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 6: anything I could to perform. In high school, I started

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 6: making clothes, and so when it was time to go

130
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 6: to college, my mom was like, you know, I know

131
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 6: you want to be an actor, but we don't know

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 6: anybody who's done that.

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 7: And she wasn't trying to discourage me.

134
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 6: She was, I think, doing what she was used to doing, like,

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 6: you know, creating a plan B to make sure I

136
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 6: was all right. And so my great great aunt was

137
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 6: our town seamstress, and so she was like, we do

138
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 6: know somebody who makes clothes for a living, So you

139
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 6: should go to school for fashion design. Then you can

140
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 6: do that while you try to pursue your acting. And

141
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 6: I thought that was like, okay, that's a good idea,

142
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 6: I guess, And so I went to school to study

143
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 6: fashion in Miami when I left Eden, and I was

144
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 6: there for like the first US and woke up one

145
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 6: night I was like, yeah, this saint did I'm supposed

146
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 6: to be acting?

147
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 7: And I called my daddy. I'm a daddy's girl, and

148
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 7: my daddy worked real hard, and I said, did he

149
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 7: better come get me a wasting your money. I'm supposed

150
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 7: to be pursuing acting.

151
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 6: And so I went back home to Eden now trying

152
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 6: to figure out, like, Okay, how do.

153
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 7: I get to this dream that I have? And uh, I.

154
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 6: Applied to Columbia College in Chicago. Me and my mama

155
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 6: went out there in the spring, because that's how they.

156
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 7: Get you, you know, this is nice.

157
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 6: Got accepted and worked off some of the like you know,

158
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 6: save money and stuff. I was working at American Express

159
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 6: and I it was like two weeks before it was

160
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: time to go to school and got a letter in

161
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 6: the middle said hey, unfortunately, do to your financial aid

162
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 6: that I had at the school in Miami. They couldn't

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 6: approve my financial aid for Columbia and I ain't had

164
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 6: that much money that I had saved over the summer,

165
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 6: so I didn't get to go, and.

166
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 7: I was still stuck in Eden, like now what do

167
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 7: I do?

168
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 6: And I remember my mom had knew somebody that lived

169
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 6: in California had told me, you know what, if you

170
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 6: ever want to come to California, you can come in

171
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 6: rent a room. And I was like, oh, I wonder

172
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 6: if she'll still let me come out there. So I

173
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 6: was like I'm just going to go to California try

174
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: to pursue my dreams. I had no gold. I just

175
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 6: had the dream and so went out there. Now the lady,

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 6: you know, she told me I could in the room.

177
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 6: She didn't tell me she was crazy. Didn't say that part.

178
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 5: Those are the details.

179
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, she left that part out mission right.

180
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 6: So I was out there for you know, a while,

181
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 6: and my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time

182
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 6: we're talking, were in ninety eight and he came out

183
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 6: there because our goal was to like move there together.

184
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 6: I was not in La I was way down in

185
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 6: like Laguna the guel beautiful, but not Hollywood, and I

186
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 6: was doing no acting. I was working two jobs, trying

187
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 6: to survive. And my husband came out there and he

188
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 6: was like, this is crazy. We need to move back

189
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 6: to North Carolina and save up money for a year

190
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 6: and then moved back to La so you can really

191
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 6: pursue your dream. And I was like, all right, I

192
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 6: guess that's a good idea of moved back.

193
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 7: To North Carolina.

194
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 6: And it was supposed to be a one year planning

195
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 6: and the one year turned into five years, a baby,

196
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 6: and you know, we got married and jobs responsibilities and

197
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 6: I've forgotten dream. I convinced myself that I could not

198
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 6: have this because you know, I'm from a small town.

199
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 7: Get a baby early, that's it.

200
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 6: You get a job, and you get a house, and

201
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 6: you live happily ever after. That's kind of like the mentality.

202
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 6: And so I was pretty content. I was working at UPS.

203
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 6: I was a manager at a call center, and so

204
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 6: one day God woke me up out my sleep and

205
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 6: it felt like earthquake had happened in Greensboro. And I

206
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 6: heard a voice and said, this is not the life

207
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 6: I planned for you. And I was like, okay, Lord,

208
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 6: this is you speaking to me. I'm gonna need you

209
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 6: to show me a sign today. And I told my

210
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 6: husband what happened. I think he thought I was crazy.

211
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 6: It's like I'm telling I heard this voice. It sounded

212
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 6: like thunder. And so later that day I was on

213
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 6: my way to tomorrow with my husband and my daughter

214
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 6: and on the radio, Bust the Brown, who was our

215
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 6: you know, the DJ in the city. He came on

216
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 6: and was like, Hey, I'm holding auditions, got a new

217
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 6: TV show. I'm looking for a female co host. And

218
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 6: I almost like bust the windows out the car I

219
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: was like, that's the sign I prayed for.

220
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 7: So I went to the audition and I booked it.

221
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 7: Was my first audition for television. Booked it.

222
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 6: And that's what made me start dreaming again and believing

223
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 6: that I could maybe still have my dreams.

224
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 7: And so I did that for like a year.

225
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 6: Learned to produce my own segments, and I was a

226
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: rolling correspondent. Really, I was interviewing all the celebrities when

227
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 6: they would come for concerts and things like that. And

228
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 6: I'm doing that for like a year. I started doing

229
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 6: theater again and short films whatever I could. I would

230
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 6: drive three hours to do extra work on One Tree

231
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 6: Hill and my day told us, so, okay, now it's

232
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 6: time to move back to LA And he was like,

233
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 6: oh no, we can't do that.

234
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 7: We got this little baby.

235
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 6: And what was he doing working at a call center

236
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 6: and he was doing music too.

237
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 7: He had built a studio in the house.

238
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 6: But it was the fear of like, we got a

239
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: small baby, and he had already you know, had a

240
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 6: baby earlier too. He was like, we can't, we can't

241
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 6: do that. I was like, well, listen, in my mind,

242
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 6: I thought I had some money. I ain't out of money, right,

243
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 6: but I was making like twelve dollars an hour. I

244
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 6: was like, I will move to LA and come back

245
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 6: and forth. And he was like, oh no, we ain't

246
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 6: doing that. Oh God, yeah, so let's plan it out.

247
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 6: And so we planned it out and we moved. I

248
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 6: think we had like eight thousand dollars we saved up

249
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 6: and we moved in two thousand and four, and I've

250
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 6: been out here pursuing acting ever since then.

251
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 7: A lot of small victories.

252
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 6: Nobody knew me as actress, right, but I loved it

253
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 6: for free. A lot of things that should have stopped

254
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 6: me from pursuing happened. You know, as soon as I

255
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 6: got out here. You know, when you hear the voice

256
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 6: of God, you were like, I know they waiting on me.

257
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 6: And I got out here and want nobody wait on me.

258
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 6: Nobody was waiting, right, So.

259
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 7: It was like, you better go get this job.

260
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 9: Talked to me again.

261
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 6: And my mama got sick right after we moved, maybe

262
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 6: six months we were here, and she was diagnosed with ALS,

263
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 6: which is terminal and you only get one mama, you know,

264
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 6: And I had an amazing mama. And so I went

265
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 6: back and forth for the next three years. To help

266
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 6: take care of her until she passed away. And then

267
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 6: I just thought like I just got to take any

268
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 6: job I can to pursue my acting, like I gotta

269
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: do it. And so back when Blockbuster was a thing,

270
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 6: I did a lot of films that went straight to DVD.

271
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 7: Uh, straight to Walmart type of thing.

272
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, something that I'd be like, please just don't

273
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 6: even look them up. It's nothing to see here, okay, Right,

274
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 6: And so I did you know, music videos, I did commercials.

275
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 6: I did a lot of like you know, small roles

276
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 6: and things, but nothing ever broke. However, every job I did,

277
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: I thought it was the one.

278
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 7: I thought this was gonna be the thing that blew

279
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 7: me up. My husband's always telling me here like men,

280
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 7: it didn't matter if it was fifty dollars. He was like,

281
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 7: this the one.

282
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 6: But I just always believed that, you know, in my heart,

283
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 6: there was always this thing inside of me that was

284
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 6: saying something big was coming. And then in twenty sixteen,

285
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 6: I felt like I was finally getting to a good place.

286
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 6: I just went to Sundance for the first time. I

287
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 6: was like, man, I feel like my career is really

288
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 6: starting to like kind of take off in a different level,

289
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 6: and I think I had booked like my first like

290
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 6: guest star and co star like on TV, like you know,

291
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 6: and then I got sick, like out of nowhere.

292
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 7: I just woke up.

293
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 6: I had this headache in the back of my head

294
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 6: and they had ache rested there for a year and

295
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 6: seven months. It was accompanied by chronic fatigue, crying of

296
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 6: pain throughout my body. I began to fall when I

297
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 6: would walk. As a woman. All this stuff was like

298
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 6: shutting down. It was not functioning properly. Doctors can't figure

299
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 6: out what was wrong with me. I did everything that

300
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 6: you can imagine. I've had blood work mrs weekly monthly.

301
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 6: I was taking every drug the doctor's offered me, and

302
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 6: if anything, I was probably getting worse because they couldn't

303
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 6: figure out.

304
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 7: What it was.

305
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 6: I was like a guinea people, you know, when you

306
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 6: don't know what's wrong with you, be like, yeah, I

307
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 6: take it.

308
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 5: You know.

309
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 6: They would, you know, shoot me up in the head

310
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 6: and giving me all kinds of steroids. But it didn't work.

311
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 6: And so my daughter came home from school and they

312
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 6: was like, we saw this documentary. I think you should

313
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 6: watch it at school, and it was what the hell

314
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 6: I watched that Netflix on Netflix, watched it as a

315
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 6: family and was like, oh, this is something that I've

316
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 6: never tried.

317
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 5: Right.

318
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 6: It was also, you know one of those things you

319
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 6: kind of hear about you like that ain't really for

320
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 6: black people. But I was like, when they started talking

321
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 6: about all diseases are not hereditaries that we sometimes we

322
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 6: can eat the same thing that caused the same disease.

323
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 6: In our family. My mama died at fifty one. My

324
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 6: daddy is seventy one. He's older men oldest man to

325
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 6: have a live in our family. People die young, and

326
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 6: it gets sick at young ages in my family. And

327
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 6: so I was like, let me try to go vegan

328
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 6: for like thirty days and see what happened. I ain't

329
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 6: got nothing to lose at this point, because I did

330
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 6: think I was gonna die and did it, and in

331
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 6: the first ten days, the headache I had every day

332
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 6: for a year and seven months disappeared, and I started

333
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 6: getting energy again. I started feeling better, and I was like, Oh,

334
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 6: I think I'm onto something.

335
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 7: And I told my husband. I was like, this is

336
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 7: gonna be my life. I'm gonna go vegan.

337
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 6: And that's literally how I got on that journey, and

338
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 6: prior to doing that, I had got to really dark place.

339
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 6: I was suffering from anxiety and depression and I had

340
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 6: what you know, I grew up in the church from

341
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 6: the South, and I always prided myself on having this

342
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 6: great relationship with God. And I had what I called

343
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 6: my last call and conversation with Him in the bathroom

344
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 6: because I thought he had forgotten about me when I

345
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 6: was sick, and so I went in the bathroom. I

346
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 6: got in the mirror and I was really in search

347
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 6: of trying to see my soul and I pregnant. I

348
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 6: was like, God, if you heal me, you can have me.

349
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 6: And I meant it, and something changed that day in

350
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 6: the bathroom.

351
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 7: I don't know.

352
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 6: When I walked out, I felt different. I didn't feel healed,

353
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 6: but I felt different. And then you know, later as

354
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 6: when my daughter had came home about the documentary. But

355
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 6: a couple of weeks after that, I had had this dream.

356
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 6: And if you've read my book, you know I have

357
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 6: a gift I was born with. Ever since I was

358
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 6: a kid, I dreamed things and they come to past.

359
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 6: I see things that other people don't see. And I

360
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 6: saw myself on a show and I was like, now, God,

361
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 6: how was I on the show Because I'm sick. I'm

362
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 6: not even auditioning. I used to do stand up trying

363
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 6: to get a TV show stand up. I'm not doing

364
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 6: any things that I usually would do. And I was like, well,

365
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 6: revealed that to me. How was I on a show

366
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 6: if I am not working towards it? And I heard

367
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 6: a voice that said start doing videos and I was like, oh, yeah, no,

368
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 6: I ain't goin to do that. You know, I ain't

369
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 6: gonna do no videos because as an actor, we've been

370
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 6: told in Hollywood, and you got to know that I

371
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 6: was a person who was not free, so I believed

372
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 6: anything that was told to me to make it in Hollywood,

373
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 6: and so I would always be told you do videos,

374
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 6: Nobody gonna take you serious in Hollywood.

375
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 11: You're talking And I can imagine that from a standpoint

376
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 11: where like you've been training at this profession for so long,

377
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 11: it almost feels like to now do a video on

378
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 11: a phone, it's like.

379
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 9: A social media video social media.

380
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 11: Yeah, Like it's almost like not a downgrade, but you

381
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 11: feel like I worked all that hard.

382
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 5: To do this.

383
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 7: It wasn't even that it was to me, It was

384
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 7: more of.

385
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 6: They won't take me serious, because you know, there was

386
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 6: also like the Vine error. And I had a lot

387
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 6: of friends who we all acted together. We came up

388
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 6: producing and acting and doing our own thing together, started

389
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 6: doing Vine, and I was the person that was like, oh,

390
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 6: y'all ain't gonna make it. I thought I was better.

391
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 6: I had this thing where I really believe. You know,

392
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 6: when you ain't free, you like to look down on others,

393
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 6: or you like to think that you're doing it the

394
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 6: right way, not your way, but the right way is

395
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 6: what you're thinking because you have conformed right. So I

396
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 6: went from corporate America conforming code switching to entertainment conforming

397
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 6: and code switching. So I believed that I had to

398
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 6: fit a certain box in order to be successful. And

399
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 6: so when God spoke to me and said it started

400
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 6: to be I was like, I can't do that.

401
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 7: But then he reminded me.

402
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 6: He said, you know, you said if I hear you,

403
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 6: I can have you, which meant I had to start

404
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 6: being obedient to what I heard from him.

405
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 7: And so I was like, okay, So I started doing

406
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 7: these videos.

407
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 6: When I first started doing videos, I was just kind

408
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 6: of doing the same sets I would do when I

409
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 6: was a comedian. I would, you know, talk about being

410
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 6: a mom and a wife. And I still had not

411
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 6: healed myself yet. I was not feeling completely better yet.

412
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 6: And so when I did the Beacon Challenge and started

413
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 6: feeling better, and after the thirty days, I told my husband, like,

414
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 6: this is going to be my life.

415
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 7: That same voice I heard say, now tell people what

416
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 7: you're eating in your videos.

417
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 6: And I was like, wait a minute, now, Lord, because

418
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 6: I also had shaved off all my hair. See I

419
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 6: always want my hairberry long and straight. I was always

420
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 6: a certain size. I would wave myself like ten twelve

421
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 6: times a day trying to fit this look. I always

422
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 6: cover my accent, everything I was programmed to do. So

423
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 6: I was taking layers off. It's like God was dealing

424
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 6: with me on becoming he created me to be, and so.

425
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 7: I was very scared.

426
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 6: I was like, Lord, I didn't shave off all my hair,

427
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 6: and I'm really trying to be obedient to be who

428
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 6: you created me to be.

429
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 7: But this is scary, but okay.

430
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 6: So I started doing videos and said, hey, y'all'm going vegan,

431
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 6: Like it ain't a challenge now, like this is gonna

432
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 6: be my life.

433
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 7: It follows Hi, maybe three thousand.

434
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 9: What platform?

435
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 7: Facebook?

436
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 9: Facebook?

437
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 11: And at the time you're doing acting as indie, but

Speaker 11: you're also are is your Uber driver at this point?

439
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:37,520

440
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 6: Okay, So, because this is August of twenty seventeen, so

441
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: I started feeling better about October.

442
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 7: I told my husband.

443
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm gonna go drive Uber because now

444
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 6: I'm feeling good. I'm doing these videos every day. I

445
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 6: don't know why, because god, you know, he spoke to me.

446
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 6: He said, listen, you were trying to get a TV

447
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 6: show out doing stand up. You was reaching like fifteen

448
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 6: thirty people a night. You start doing these videos, you're

449
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: gonna reach thousands and minutes. And I said, well, lord,

450
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 6: I ain't even got thousands of follow us to reach

451
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,119

00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 7: But I was like, I got to be obedient.

455
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and so, and I was also doing things on

456
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 6: my personal Facebook page. I ain't know nothing about monetizer,

457
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 6: I ain't no none of that stuff, excuse me. And

458
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 6: so I was like, all right, I'm going live every day.

459
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 6: I'm cooking in my kitchen when I find stuff, I

460
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 6: tell people, oh, I found a beacon option. I would

461
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: get like thirty people on my life, you know, one

462
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 6: hundred views after you know, a day or two on

00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 6: my videos, and if you watch like some of my

464
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 6: earlier videos, I would cry on the videos sometime while

465
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 6: I was cooking because I'm like, I don't know why

466
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 6: God got me doing this. He told me thousands and

467
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: minutes it is thirty three people on here.

468
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 7: What do he have me do? And I also never wanted.

469
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 6: To do anything with food, never, but I was just

470
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 6: being obedient. And so October is when I told my

00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 6: husband I'm gonna drive Uber because now I'm feeling good

472
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 6: and I had, man my savings. What a little bit

473
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 6: that I had was gone, you know. And my husband

474
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 6: is my partner, not my provider. And so I was like,

475
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go get discovered in my car because I'm

476
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 6: in LA. I'm probably gonna pick up a director or producer.

477
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 6: They gonna love me, okay, And I call you from

478
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 6: the set. That's how my mind be working. And my

479
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 6: husband's like, okay, damn all right. So I started driving

480
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 6: Uber in October and December thirtieth, I dropped somebody off

481
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 6: and you know about Whole Foods, and I was still

482
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 6: a new vegan.

483
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 7: I always don't hold Foo's got a vegan option. So

484
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 7: I went in there.

485
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 6: I said, I put myself on a little Uber break

486
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 6: give me a little breakfast. And I went in and

487
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 6: got a sandwich. I had never heard a vegan bacon

488
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 6: at that time, and that was the sandwich that TTLA

489
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 6: and ate the first half and I was like, oh shoot,

490
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 6: I need to do a video to tell people.

491
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 7: I found a new vegan option. So I did the

492
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 7: video sitting in my car and I went on back

493
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 7: to driv an uber.

494
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 6: When I got home and I turned my you know,

495
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 6: notifications on my phone, was like going crazy.

496
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 7: I was like, we're watching this video. The video had like.

497
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 6: Fifty thousand views and I was like on Facebook. On Facebook,

498
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 6: and the next morning it had over one hundred and

499
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: some thousand. And I told us I said, I think

500
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 6: I'm going viral, and he was like what that means.

501
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 6: I was like, I don't know. He said, well, you're

502
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 6: gonna make some money. I was like, I don't know.

503
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 6: And four days later, Whole Foods DM me on Facebook

504
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: and they were like, we saw your video. We love

505
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 6: to partner with you, and I partnered with them. That

506
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 6: was like my first partnership. The sandwich was like something

507
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 6: that had never happened for Whole Foods. The sandwich was

508
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 6: only available in the southern California region, but after the video,

509
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 6: people were requesting it nationwide. So in thirty days, they

510
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 6: rolled it out all over the nation and it became

511
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 6: like I was.

512
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 7: It was like my sandwich.

513
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 6: I had also changed the name of the sandwich because

514
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 6: in my excitement, I said the name of the sandwich wrong.

515
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 6: So they changed the name of the sandwich in TTLA,

516
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 6: and so I changed their market for them. It had

517
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 6: never been done, and I think see you said over

518
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 6: thirty years. He was like, how did you do that?

519
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 6: I also gave them a new customer, and so they

520
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 6: changed their market, right, so they had the Whole Foods

521
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 6: was not a place where black people were shopping, right,

522
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 6: especially not like my following right, which grew overnight. There

523
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 6: were churches in the South taking buses to go to

524
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 6: the nearest Whole food together to try the sandwich. You know,

525
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 6: people were planning trips to go to Whole Foods because

526
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 6: like where I'm from, there's no Whole Foods. You got

527
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 6: to drive about forty five minutes for an hour, and

528
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 6: so I was giving them that and it just it

529
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 6: sold out every day for nine months straight, like they

530
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 6: couldn't keep it instart.

531
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 7: Even the bacon that company reached.

532
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 5: Out, it's Temple Bacon.

533
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was ten Bae.

534
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 5: Bacon, tomato, lettuce and avocado. Yeah, T T L.

535
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 7: Yeah gotcha. I put a little pickle on it.

536
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 5: Okay, don't forget that.

537
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 7: But yeah.

538
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 6: So that's what began this part of tail, and I

539
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 6: realized I was like, oh wait, I can really make

540
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 6: money doing this. Okay, I don't know how it's gonna

541
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 6: keep happening, but I'm just gonna keep doing what I've

542
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 6: been doing. And what that was was being organic, being

543
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 6: in the moment, and I've continued to do that.

544
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: How this is that so within a week you got

545
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 5: a million views?

546
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 11: Obviously they reach out within the first week say we

547
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 11: want to partner at that point, because it's like who

548
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 11: do you even follow to say like this is how

549
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 11: you partner with a major brand.

550
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 6: I called all my friends that had been doing influencer work, right,

551
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 6: and I was like, what do I do?

552
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 7: How much do I charge? And nobody will help me

553
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 7: they wouldn't tell me.

554
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 6: So I was like, Okay, I know how SAG work,

555
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 6: like the Union, but it's a different world. And I

556
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 6: had a manager at the time that I had just

557
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 6: signed with to try to like start getting like auditions

558
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 6: in Atlanta, and she knew nothing. And all my old

559
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 6: agents knew nothing about social media. They were like, girl,

560
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 6: this is just a little phase.

561
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 7: Like they couldn't help me. And so.

562
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 6: I was like, Okay, I'm gonna just go as big

563
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 6: as I can and ask for a crazy amount of

564
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 6: money and see what they say. And they were like, hmm,

565
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 6: we can't give it to you at once, but what

566
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 6: if we break it up and you do a couple

567
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 6: of other things throughout the year for us. And I

568
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 6: was like okay, right, because I didn't know. I didn't

569
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 6: even have an attorney at this time, you know. And

570
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 6: then I had a friend who was a producer, Steven Love,

571
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 6: and he's super smart and he and I have been

572
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 6: trying to develop a show together. And I called Steve

573
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 6: and I said, you're gonna be my manager. He was like, oh, no,

574
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 6: I'll tell you I ain't a manager. I'm ann producer.

575
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 6: I said, I know, but I didne prayed about it,

576
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 6: and God told me you're gonna be my manager, and

577
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 6: so me and Steven figured it out together.

578
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 7: H And we probably did about fifty six deals together.

579
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 6: And when one deal was like okay, this money, when

580
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 6: they said yes, too quick, we was like, oh, we know,

581
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 6: were too low. So on the next deal, we was like,

582
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 6: go higher and see what they say. Oh they said, yeah,

583
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 6: oh we're still too low. So that's how we kind

584
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 6: of learned over the years. You know, we worked together

585
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 6: for like two years.

586
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 7: We're still producing parties like he's still my my.

587
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 6: My number one, that's my guy, but now of course

588
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 6: I have a team. And then really learned that, oh we.

589
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 7: Was we was real low. I ked up been making

590
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 7: more money.

591
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 9: So let me ask you.

592
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 10: I want to go back to this social media because

593
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 10: it's interesting you you gained two million followers in five weeks?

594
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 9: Is that correct?

595
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 6: So that so that is on TikTok happened happened ye

596
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 6: later after Yeah.

597
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 7: That was twenty twenty.

598
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 6: So March December thirtieth of twenty seventeen, I had no

599
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 6: you know, just normal followers. By January fourth, I had

600
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 6: like I can't even tell you, not a million, but

601
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 6: hundreds of that.

602
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 7: They were just happening every day on faces on Facebook.

603
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 9: Was on Facebook Facebook.

604
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

605
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 6: I would post a little bit on Instagram, but Facebook

606
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 6: was my platform and I probably gain maybe a million. No,

607
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 6: I was like five hundred thousand by twenty twenty. So

608
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 6: from twenty eighteen to twenty twe I had like five

609
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 6: hundred thousand on Facebook and I had three hundred thousand

610
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 6: on Instagram. March of twenty twenty, my daughter told me

611
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 6: to get on TikTok and I was like girl with

612
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 6: them kids. She was like, Mommy, you can be like

613
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 6: the mom of TikTok. Look, you know, do your recipes,

614
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 6: do your inspirational videos, the same stuff I do on Facebook.

615
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 7: I got on there the first.

616
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 6: Week, I went viral on TikTok. In thirty days, I

617
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 6: had a million followers. A week later I had two million,

618
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 6: and it just kept growing.

619
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 10: So what are some best practices that you use for

620
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 10: social cause it might have started as a mistake, but

621
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 10: you don't have that level of success by accident. So

622
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 10: you have to be doing things that you know are

623
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 10: working and you've kind of met you've mastered it right so.

624
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 7: Well, for me, I was doing what was real and natural.

625
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 6: For me, I never planned a post unless it was

626
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 6: a branded post, and I still don't do that.

627
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 7: I do what I feel.

628
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 6: Right when I was first doing videos, it's like what

629
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 6: I had to taste for, that's what I'm gonna cook

630
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna just share that.

631
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 10: But there's no like second take or no, it's not stage.

632
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 9: It would be live, just organic.

633
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 5: This is just this camera would be on, it.

634
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 7: Would be live. So whatever happened happened.

635
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 5: Did you ever feel the pressure to try to have success?

636
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 11: Obviously you've been. You were doing the videos, you got

637
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 11: one that goes ridiculously viral. Do you feel in the

638
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 11: back of your mind like, well, I got to create

639
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 11: something similar to have the same time success or it's

640
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 11: like I'm just staying sticking to the script of what

641
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 11: I know.

642
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 7: I'm gonna stick because you got to also remember I

643
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 7: didn't know the.

644
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: World, right, right, I didn't know you don't know what

645
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 5: you'all know.

646
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 6: So I was just like, I'm gonna just keep being consistent, right,

647
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 6: I'm gonna just keep doing the videos.

648
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 7: They like that, I guess they'll like this.

649
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 6: If they don't, they don't, But I'm only really doing

650
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 6: what I think God has called me to do right now,

651
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to be obedient because I also didn't

652
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 6: want to do nothing with food.

653
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 7: So for him to.

654
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 6: Bless me in a way that I had not planned

655
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 6: because I had many plans for acting.

656
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 7: I mean, I could give you the layout. Food was

657
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 7: never a part of my plan.

658
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 6: So I was like, I just got to trust God

659
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 6: and keep doing this every day and sharing.

660
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 7: But I had no.

661
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 6: Recipe for success other than being true to who I am.

662
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 6: That was the hardest part for me, taking off the

663
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 6: layers of the old tab because I was, you know,

664
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 6: in my own words, like I was a fraud for

665
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: a very long time because I wasn't the true me,

666
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 6: because I created this other Tabitha that I thought could

667
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 6: win in Hollywood, right the straight hair, the thin, the

668
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 6: you know, very neutral accent, because I told her, I,

669
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 6: you know, I had been told I was ignorant for

670
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 6: having a Southern dialect, you country, you know, and always

671
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 6: in a negative so I always would try to cover that.

672
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 6: So now I was like, God told me he can't

673
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 6: bless who I'm not right, How is he gonna bless

674
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 6: me if I ain't me? So I was like, I

675
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 6: gotta start taking these layers off and show up his

676
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 6: tab every day.

677
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 7: This is like.

678
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 6: My my season of becoming me. It was more about

679
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 6: that than anything else. It won't about nobody else. I

680
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 6: was just trying to figure out what he wanted me

681
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 6: to do.

682
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 11: So after the success, obviously the whole food now the

683
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 11: vegan community, now it becomes the marketplace for you.

684
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 5: So how did the brand start treating you from that space?

685
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 11: Because you know that's obviously something that's been more prominent

686
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 11: over the past five ten years. You didn't have any

687
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 11: clue that you were going to be in the space,

688
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 11: but now you're the spokesperson for it.

689
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 5: So how do the brands start approaching after that?

690
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: Oh my honey, every day my inbox was flooded. Everybody

691
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 6: wanted to send me stump. Everybody wanted to send tail products.

692
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 6: Everybody wanted to do a deal. And I learned very

693
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 6: quickly that the power of no.

694
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 7: Right.

695
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 6: I never did anything for money. If I didn't like it,

696
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 6: I ain't going to endorse it, right. And I also

697
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 6: had to like the people like the business, because some

698
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 6: people I could tell like, oh, you just want me

699
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 6: because a I'm a black woman and it's a certain

700
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 6: time of the year, and you know, I can move

701
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 6: merchandise right product, but you don't really see me as

702
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 6: a person. And then I would also look at their

703
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 6: you know, their social media, their marketing. You never had

704
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 6: nobody black before, Now you won't tab. I don't feel

705
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 6: good about that.

706
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 7: You know.

707
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 6: So I would always just kind of look at the

708
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 6: approach and see if it was genuine. I would meet

709
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 6: with people and talk to people, but always pray before

710
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 6: I say anything. I'd be like, Okay, guide me on this.

711
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 6: But I did a lot of deals that were a

712
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 6: lot of small businesses. Still to this day, those are

713
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 6: my passion. Small businesses are my passion because I've seen

714
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 6: them change overnight because of me just endorsing them, right

715
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 6: or sharing them on my platform.

716
00:33:59,160 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 7: That's what's important.

717
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 6: Changing somebody's life is like, that's it, you know, because

718
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 6: that also changes my life, right because I know, oh,

719
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 6: I'm doing what I'm purpose to do.

720
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 10: So so all right, let's on the media side. Right,

721
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 10: You've grown the media empire where you have the YouTube channel,

722
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 10: you have the podcast and children, So at what point

723
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 10: do you transition from Okay, I'm making cool content, I'm

724
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 10: going viral. I'm working with brands. So now I'm gonna

725
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 10: build a business structure and do it that way. Like

726
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 10: what's the steps to say, Okay, now this is something

727
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 10: that we're really going to focus on to make it

728
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 10: a business.

729
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 6: What for me it was it was like very organic,

730
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 6: like I've moved strategically. I don't do anything like I

731
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 6: and people don't be believe me when I say this,

732
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 6: But honey, when I tell you, I promise you. It's

733
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 6: never like a laid out plan, right, It'll be something

734
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 6: will come to me and then I'll be like, okay.

735
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 7: I got to do that.

736
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 6: But like when I first cut my hair off and

737
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 6: she started growing back, I named her Donna. Right, I

738
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 6: was cooking live in my kitchen and she was like

739
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 6: sticking up straight, and I was like, throw up my

740
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 6: hair sticking up straight.

741
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 7: I'm looking like don King tonight. I met have to

742
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 7: call her Donna, and it stuck and.

743
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 6: People started saying I look at Donna like every night

744
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 6: when I'd be cooking. So it became a thing, and

745
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 6: I continued to call her that, and I was like

746
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 6: in prayer, God was like I need you to stay

747
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 6: consistent in that, and I was like, but why, Like

748
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 6: it's just a name for my hair, you know. And

749
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 6: then over time I really started to realize me embracing

750
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 6: my hair was a big deal for me because I

751
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 6: had not embraced my natural hair for so long.

752
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 7: And then over time that's when I was.

753
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: Like, oh, I want to do a hair pure line.

754
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 6: And I've already named my hair Donna and people know that.

755
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 6: So it's going to be like the Donna collection, right,

756
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 6: which is now my hair collection is Donna's recipe.

757
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 7: So those are the things that I'm intention Nowhere.

758
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 6: When I figured that out, I'm like, oh, okay, gods,

759
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 6: see what you're showing me. So now when I my

760
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 6: favorite cooking spoon when I cook, people know my favorite

761
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 6: spoon is Shina. So in my mind, I'm like, one

762
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 6: day I'm gonna have a collection of these. That's how

763
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 6: I plan it. It's not like, oh A has to

764
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 6: go to be to go to sea for me to

765
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 6: Domino effect.

766
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 7: Exactly.

767
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 6: And so but I know, like when I'm in the door,

768
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 6: I look around the room, right, I don't. I don't

769
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 6: show up and walk through the door for the one

770
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 6: reason I'm there. If I walk through the door, I

771
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 6: want to look around the room.

772
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 11: I had like the obedience just keeps coming up in

773
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 11: the faith in it. And it was like you named

774
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 11: your hair, now you got to hear a product, and

775
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 11: so like now it makes sense. I'm putting the pieces

776
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 11: together as I'm listening to the story even more so

777
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 11: it's like, all right, I'm giving recipes, here's my you know,

778
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 11: here's my spice.

779
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 5: Here's what I'm doing exactly.

780
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 11: You're just creating businesses based on who is just who

781
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 11: you are and being obedient who you.

782
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 7: Are exactly like I could.

783
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 6: So I got seasoning, yeah right, people know I love fashion.

784
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got closed the target. Right. If it ain't me,

785
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 7: it don't make sense. You know. If I came out

786
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 7: with my own beer, people were like, really that means

787
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 7: you just do a name on something.

788
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm so intentional with what I do. It has

789
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 6: to be so rooted in tail.

790
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 11: So the other part of that is like the not knowing, right,

791
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 11: And so you didn't come from a food background, no, right,

792
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 11: so you had somebody had to give you guidance in

793
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 11: that space. So where did you see the guys? Even

794
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 11: with the seasoning, I'm thinking like this, this makes perfect sense,

795
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 11: But how do I even go about that? How do

796
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 11: I market that who do I find to even help me?

797
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 11: What were those times?

798
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 5: Like?

799
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 7: So crazy enough?

800
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 6: Same as with my hair products, same as with my

801
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 6: season and same as with my cookbook. When I was

802
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 6: doing everything independently, just by myself and me and Stevens

803
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 6: that was my team being him, I would cook life

804
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 6: and I would look at the comments and people were like,

805
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 6: you need your own seasoning. So I literally had started

806
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 6: trying to mix my own seasoning at my house. Same

807
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 6: with my hair tap, you need your own hair products.

808
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 6: I was getting the essential olds, like all these different things,

809
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 6: trying to mix it at my house. My cookbook, I

810
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 6: was writing my cookbook at home by myself, and every

811
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 6: night I would pray, like, God, I need a team.

812
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 7: I don't know how to do this, and he would

813
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 7: send me the people. Literally.

814
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 6: I did a deal with McCormick and they wanted me

815
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 6: to just cook with their seasonings live like I was doing.

816
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, okay, my granny, I grew

817
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 6: up on McCormick seasoning, you know, all the people my.

818
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 7: Exactly.

819
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 6: And so after I did that, I was like, hmm,

820
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 6: I wonder if they would help me create my own seasoning.

821
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 6: So I asked my team and they were like, oh,

822
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 6: let's set a meeting. And that's how that happened. With

823
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 6: Donna's Recipe. It was actually a very organic thing. My

824
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 6: husband coaches basketball, so one of the moms of the

825
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 6: his players was like, I got an idea. I want

826
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: to run by you, and so she had an idea

827
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 6: to do hair care aligned with me. I was like, girl,

828
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 6: I've been trying to develop this for a year by myself,

829
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 6: but I pray for somebody, you know, I pray for

830
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 6: God to see me a team.

831
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 7: And she was like, oh, well, this is what I do.

832
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 6: That's how I formed my partnership with her to do

833
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 6: Donna's Recipe, and then with my book with my team,

834
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 6: I was like, I've been writing a quick book, but

835
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 6: I have no idea about publishing.

836
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 7: I need somebody to show me. And they were like, oh,

837
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 7: let's set a meeting.

838
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 6: So the thing I learned about is you can have

839
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 6: a dream, you can have an idea, but you can't

840
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 6: always just keep it inside.

841
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 7: Sometimes you got to ad.

842
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 6: You got to pray for the guidance but also for

843
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 6: the team, and then you got to speak up and

844
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 6: be like, I need help because I know I have

845
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,959
Speaker 6: all these great ideas, but I also know I can't

846
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 6: do it alone, so I would as my team. I'd

847
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 6: be like, you know, my new managers I signed with

848
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 6: when I signed with my agent, we would have meetings

849
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 6: and I would say, listen, these are the things I

850
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 6: want to do. This is what's in my mind, is

851
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 6: what God put inside of me. I have this list

852
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 6: of things I want to do, this, this, and this,

853
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 6: and it has to ligne this way. And they'll be like, Okay,

854
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 6: let us try to say some meetings and then I

855
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 6: would take meetings with multiple people and whoever felt right

856
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 6: to me, that's who.

857
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 7: I would move forward with.

858
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you said something very important.

859
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 11: You said you didn't do it for money, right, at

860
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 11: a certain point you're making money, absolutely, and so that's another.

920
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 6: I have a business manager right when it comes to money,

921
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 6: and she know it ain't a secret. And I still

922
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 6: don't trust them. Me and my husband, we don't trust

923
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 6: nobody but me and him.

924
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 7: I'll be talking like, girl, I love you, but I

925
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 7: don't trust you, you know, because.

929
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 6: We've been together for twenty five years. Next year, I

930
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 6: mean next month, and we still keep a notebook. We

931
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 6: still write things down. That's how we started. And so

932
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 6: we were like, wait, man, we got to really look

933
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 6: at this. Like we got the apps, we can go

934
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 6: online and look, but now I need to look at

935
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 6: it our way. It's hard finding people in the industry

936
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 6: that you can trust. And people have tried to get

937
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 6: over on me. People have tried to steal from me,

938
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 6: and it's disheartening because I want everybody to win. And

939
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 6: I always tell people, you know how you said, I

940
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 6: walk to the room.

941
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 7: And you can feel it. That's how I always want

942
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 7: to present, right.

943
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 6: It's only two things that will take me out of

944
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 6: that element is if you mess with my family or

945
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 6: you mess with my money, because I take care of

946
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 6: my family with my money.

947
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 7: Right. And so.

948
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 6: As a black woman, it's already hard, you know, in

949
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 6: an industry that is you know, or in a world

950
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 6: rather that was not created to cater to us. But

951
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 6: then when you become like very successful and you're a

952
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 6: Southern country black woman, people think you dumb, so they

953
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 6: think that they can, you know, take advantage of you.

954
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 6: And so that's what makes it even more so hard

955
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 6: to trust people.

956
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 8: Right.

957
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 6: But I'm very grateful that I do have a good

958
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 6: team and I've established like a good business manager the company.

959
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 7: You know, I did my homework.

960
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 6: I made sure I was like, let me look and

961
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 6: see if y'all in the other had a situation. Listen,

962
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 6: when y'all had Steve Harvey, I called her the next ask.

963
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 6: But you see what I'm saying. I seen him the video.

964
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 6: I said, now listen, this why I don't trust you.

965
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 11: Have got fast forward to the park where you're talking

966
00:45:58,719 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 11: about the tech.

967
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I was.

968
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 9: That was the crazy.

969
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm gonna need you. And it's so

970
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 6: funny because I sent her that. I was like, I

971
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 6: know that you send them to me, but I need

972
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 6: you to.

973
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 7: I needed the print out of my receipts. I don't

974
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 7: want the computer ones. I want the print out of

975
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 7: my tax receipts. Like but those little things like that.

976
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 6: We need a little reminder every now because sometimes we

977
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 6: can't get a little comfortable and.

978
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 7: We can't do that.

979
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 6: We can't lose sight. Listen, if I got three dollars missing,

980
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 6: I won't know where it is.

981

996
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 6: like thinking, like I'm gonna go to the restaurant again

997
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 6: because I was staying in Chicago for a couple of months.

998
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 6: And I was like, if he said something about doing

1001
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 6: table that day and he was like, I've been thinking

1002
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 6: about coming to l A and and looking for a building.

1003
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,719

Speaker 7: Too. Fun to have one here in l A.

1007
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 6: But oh, restaurant business that you know how you really

1008
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 6: can't trust people, right?

1009
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 7: Not Neiman? I love him.

1010
00:47:53,280 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 5: He was he was yeah, yeah, pinky, yeah, yes.

1011
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 6: He is so passionate about restaurant business. And for me,

1012
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 6: if it was my restaurant like it is, he is like,

1013
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 6: if it was my brand and I was there every day,

1014
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 6: I could see myself building more right and maybe later

1015
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 6: in life.

1016
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 7: But so many issues happened.

1017
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 6: With like the building right, things that you don't think

1018
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 6: that you're gonna run into.

1019
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 7: Uh. Structural issues, yes, slum and also slum lords. I'm

1020
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 7: going to say that.

1021
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 9: Uh.

1022
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 6: And it became a whole legal thing that I was like, oh,

1023
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to because now you mess with my

1024
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 6: money right and nemas money right. So, but just so

1025
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 6: many things that you can't rush into. That's what I learned.

1026
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 6: I was like, you know what, in Chicago, he did

1027
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 6: it one way, and so he thought it would work

1028
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 6: the same in La I've never opened a restaurant, so

1029
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 6: I trusted that, and I was like, you know what,

1030
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 6: if this is how you do it, let's do it.

1031
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 6: I'm gonna give you the money. I know, I'm gonna

1032
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 6: get the people in here. You ain't gonna never have

1033
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 6: to worry about, you know, people coming. But that's his passion.

1034
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 6: But the people trying to find people to help you,

1035
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 6: like work in a restaurant, to show up every day

1036
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,720
Speaker 6: to work, to also be honest, it was hard.

1037
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 7: That part was hard too. So a more power to

1038
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 7: all the people. I love Pinky.

1039
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 6: I'll be like, girl, honey, very very good. But I said,

1040
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go ahead and just put food in.

1041
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 9: Target, so you're not so you're not in that business anymore.

1044
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 11: Well I already fo Yeah, So we got to get

1045
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 11: to that part because I mean that's nothing to sneeze down.

1046
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 11: I mean being inside you know the big before retails

1047
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 11: is tough. So you know, obviously the season ends and

1048
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 11: you have deals with making food.

1049
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 5: So how did they approach you? Who approached?

1050
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 9: Like?

1051
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 5: How did that work?

1052
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 9: So?

1053
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: Target?

1054
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 7: Same way, very organic.

1055
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 6: I was doing what they call Target Family with them

1056
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 6: for like a year as an influencer doing content and

1057
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 6: like for the holidays or back to school, they send

1058
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 6: me stuff.

1059
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 7: I do videos. When I first started working with them.

1060
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 6: What I loved about Target instantly was I would do

1061
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 6: a video and I would send it in for approval

1062
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 6: and I would just be waiting for their feedback to

1063
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 6: tell me what to change, and they never wanted anything change.

1064
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 7: They was like, oh, we love it.

1065
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 6: And I was like, y'all gonna leta just be tab

1066
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 6: because I was sending other you know, work with other

1067
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 6: brands and they're be like could you do this? And

1068
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 6: then I'd be like, you know what, it's not gonna

1069
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 6: work out. Target never ever tried to change me. They

1070
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 6: was like, no, lean more into whatever whatever you want

1071
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 6: to do, we love it. They didn't care about talked

1072
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 6: about God, they didn't care about I talked about Beganism.

1073
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 6: They didn't care as long as I was being me.

1074
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 6: So I did that for like a year with them.

1075
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 6: And when they presented, you know, an opportunity to do

1076
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:09,439
Speaker 6: something bigger, I was like.

1077
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 7: I'm all ears, what do you want to do?

1078
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 6: And they knew that I had studied fashion, and so

1079
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,439
Speaker 6: they were like, we have this idea that we've never

1080
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 6: done it before, but we would love to do four

1081
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 6: exclusive collections with you across the whole store. So I

1082
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 6: was like, you ain't never did it before. And they

1083
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 6: speaking my language because I like to do things ain't

1084
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 6: never been done. And so we I said, yeah, you know,

1085
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 6: we talked about it, and I was like, oh, this

1086
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 6: is right up my alley. I get to do, you know,

1087

1089
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 6: which is what I love. Like you know, I'm going

Speaker 6: so I was like, I can make you know, stuff

1093
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 6: that my mother would have been able to wear and

1094
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 6: my sister are and my aunts, and I was I

1095
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 6: was excited to do that. But then I also got

1096
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 6: to design furniture. I had never did that before, furniture

1097
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 6: and office supplies. And you know then from their food,

1098
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 6: which is my you know, now like something I'm very

1099
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 6: passionate about. And to do a vegan collection and kitchen

1100
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 6: you know where, and now I have my fourth drop

1101
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 6: that comes out the summer would be outdoor entertainment, and

1102
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 6: so I'm super excited to do it. I loved that

1103
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 6: I was the first, you know, I had my own

1104
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 6: merch line that I used to do, which is one

1105
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 6: of the first ways that I made a lot of money.

1106
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 7: And I did that independently on my own.

1107
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 6: And so I would go downtown and buy the T

1108
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 6: shirts and bulk, then find a printer, take them to

1109
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 6: the printer.

1110
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 7: Design the logo, do all the things.

1111
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 6: And to be able to go and partner with somebody

1112
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 6: like Target, where I you know, it was in their

1113
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 6: corporate headquarters in the in the room while things are

1114
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 6: being styled and you know, designing it with them and

1115
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 6: looking at color ways and doing the whole thing.

1116
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 7: I was like, Oh, I feel like, okay, this is

1117
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 7: why you do.

1118
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 6: It yourself first, so you can really appreciate when you

1119
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 6: get to this place.

1120
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 10: So is it is it your brand or is it target?

1121
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 9: Is it target? And then you're like the designer on it.

1122
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 7: Right, So it's it's uh, tap of the brand for target? Okay, right?

1123
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 7: And so.

1124
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 6: But everything I got to do right, So they would

1125
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 6: give me like a whole bunch of color palettes and

1126
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 6: then I picked what I want and the designs I want.

1127
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 7: I tell them what I envisioned.

1128
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 10: And how I want, like the creative director, right, yeah,

1129
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 10: off the line. So okay, let's talk about your spirituality

1130
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 10: because that's something obviously that's extremely important to you.

1131
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 9: Right, So.

1132
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 10: What that is that an ever an issue in business?

1133
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 10: How do you you know walk that line or is

1134
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 10: it a line to walk as far as spirituality? And

1135
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 10: because a lot of time people say, like you know,

1136
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 10: separate church and state, right, like separate church and business.

1137
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 9: Like you know what I mean?

1138
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 10: Like, as far as whatever your religious beliefs are, that's fine.

1139
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 10: You can mention it, but don't over bleed it too

1140
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 10: much in your business because you might alienate people, you

1141
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 10: might even offend people, right or so, it's a lot

1142
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 10: of times you don't see people like overly expressing their

1143
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 10: religious beliefs or their spirituality. But so, what's your thoughts

1144
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 10: on that?

1145
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 6: It's who I am, right, I always share openly my

1146
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 6: love of God, but I'm also very open about my

1147
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 6: dislike of religion. I feel that religion causes separation. My

1148
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 6: mother was a pastor later in her life and she

1149
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 6: told me, she said, listen, don't ever get caught up

1150
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 6: in religion. Get caught up in your relationship with God.

1151
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 6: And that is what I talk about all the time.

1152
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 6: People know who I am when I walk in the door.

1153
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 6: If you if you book me, you already know me.

1154
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 6: And I don't come.

1155
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 7: To judge. I come in love. I think that my

1156
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 7: love of God is.

1157
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 6: Very known, so I don't have to walk in the

1158
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 6: room and talk about it, right, But if the opportunity

1159
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 6: presents itself, you know where I'm rooted.

1160
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:31,959
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

1161
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 6: So, but I don't shot away from it. If somebody

1162
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:36,959
Speaker 6: want to have a conversation, you think.

1163
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 10: That that it's actually helped you as far as do you

1164
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 10: think that a lot of brands have they want to

1165
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,919
Speaker 10: work with you as far as because of that, Because

1166
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 10: you know a lot of especially like in a Bible

1167
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 10: belt in the South, different things of that nature. So

1168
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 10: a lot of times what somebody might look at as

1169
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 10: a handicap is actually a benefit.

1170
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 6: I think it has its pros and cons. Right, some

1171
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 6: people don't want to work with me because they don't

1172
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 6: like that, you know.

1173
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 7: But I always say to main my people that ain't.

1174
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 6: Supposed to work with if I that mean you don't

1175
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 6: like to tell, right, And that is also some church folks.

1176
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 6: Some church folks say ain't Christian enough? That ain't my business?

1177
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 7: Right. I love everybody. You know, one of my best

1178
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 7: friends is Muslim.

1179
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 6: One of my best friends, right, And so I think

1180
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 6: that we get to a place where we're so focused

1181
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 6: on what you were taught, you ain't even having a relationship, right.

1182
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 7: That's that's the thing.

1183
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 6: A lot a lot of people don't realize that you

1184
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 6: got these strong beliefs in something because of what you

1185
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 6: were taught. I'm telling you what I know, what's in here,

1186
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 6: what I've heard, nobody taught me the God. I know,

1187
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 6: it wasn't taught to me. It was developed inside of me.

1188
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 6: And that's a difference. And so you know, if you

1189
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 6: look at my content, have always, you know, always give

1190
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 6: glory to God. I do credit him for everything that

1191
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 6: I am. And I also do the work right. And

1192
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 6: so if somebody be like you know I have people say, Tam,

1193
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 6: you might want to tone it down talking about God

1194
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 6: all the time on your social or whatever, because you

1195
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 6: know people ain't gonna work, you know, they ain't gonn

1196
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 6: want to work with you. I was like, ooh, honey,

1197
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 6: let me turn it up a little bit because I

1198
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 6: want to make those people stay clear.

1199
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:26,959
Speaker 7: Don't work with tab money if you.

1200
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 6: Know, because I'm gonna still show up as this tab right.

1201
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 6: But I love I love people. I believe in people, right.

1202
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 6: I believe we all got something great to offer. You know,

1203
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 6: no matter what you believe, you know, no matter you know,

1204
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 6: no matter the God that you may feel exist in

1205
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 6: your life, I still believe in people. We don't have

1206
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 6: to have the same belief for me to love you right,

1207
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 6: for me to see you, we don't have to have

1208
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 6: the same belief.

1209
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 7: Or for us to work together, right. And what you

1210
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 7: do at home.

1211
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 6: Hundred that's your business, right, But this is who I am,

1212
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 6: and I ain't gonna change, nor should.

1213
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 11: You know, and it ain't gonna do it ain't gonna

1214
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 11: I mean. So inside that the business, there's a lot

1215
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 11: of verticals there. I heard design, I heard the cooking obviously,

1216
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 11: the media, the books. I don't even want to use

1217
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 11: the word balance, But how do you delegate managing all

1218
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 11: these things at the same time.

1219
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 6: I'm first, right, that's priority. Then it's my family, and

1220
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 6: then I have a good schedule, right, I put everything

1221
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 6: on the calendar. Wait to hear me say that. I'm like, you,

1222
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 6: look at the calendar. You're like, Lord, here we go

1223
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 6: to this calendar. But that's that's how I do it.

1224
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 6: But I schedule my own breaks, and those breaks sometimes

1225
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 6: happen throughout my day, you know, because I want to

1226
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 6: make sure I'm all right. I have struggled with anxiety

1227
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 6: and depression before, and I don't want to go back,

1228
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 6: so I don't allow myself to get burned out. And

1229
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 6: I really love what I do. I love it, and

1230
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 6: when you love it, it is easy to balance. It's easy

1231
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 6: to balance when you love it. When you are doing it.

1232
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 6: Because you're trying to make money, or you're doing it

1233
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 6: because you're trying to survive, or you're doing it to

1234
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 6: try to be like somebody else. It's a balancing act.

1235
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 6: It's hard and it's heavy. But when you really love

1236
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 6: it and you're doing it because you were called to

1237
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 6: do it and it's part of your purpose, it's easy

1238
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 6: to balance.

1239
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 11: When I just want because I'm thinking now about the

1240
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 11: Target situation, right, and obviously that there's food inside of

1241
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 11: that your brand.

1242
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 5: But it started with Whole Foods or a partnership.

1243
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 11: And so in terms of having two obviously separate corporate

1244
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 11: companies that you worked with, was there a battle or

1245
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 11: was there a negotiation saying hey, like yo, this is

1246
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 11: what they're offering, this is what and we'll just choose

1247
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 11: one that schoos.

1248
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 7: Oh no, Whole Foods. I worked with them up until.

1249
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 6: Maybe like two years ago, right, so it's a it's

1250
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 6: a different situation. But also, uh, they could not offer

1251
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 6: me the things that Target offered me. Right, there's no clothing.

1252
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 5: In right, it's different, different, it's a.

1253
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 6: Whole different thing. But also Whole Foods they had their

1254
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 6: their role in my journey, you know, that was their role.

1255
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 5: They were not like Thung partners.

1256
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 7: Listen, you gotta know your season, everybody, listen.

1257
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 6: You know that it was a great season and I

1258
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 6: will ever love them, and who knows, I could always

1259
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 6: go back to them. I also, you know, we have

1260
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 6: products inside of the Whole Foods. You know I have

1261
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 6: I have products everywhere.

1262
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 5: You know.

1263
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 6: I got products in Walmart even though I partner would Target.

1264
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 6: You know, I got them into every grocery store, even

1265
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 6: though I partnered with Target. You know, my season ain't

1266
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 6: just at Target. Domald's recipe ain't just gonna be at Alta,

1267
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 6: you know. So there's a way you do business. There's

1268
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 6: a way that tabat the Brown can show up. Then

1269
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 6: there's a way that my businesses and brands can show up. Right,

1270
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 6: So you can't lock my brand in the deal. You

1271
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 6: might be able to, you know, partner with TAB and

1272
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 6: I have exclusivity, but then I have a brand that

1273
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 6: you don't own, right, Nobody owned me, but I own

1274
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 6: my brand, so I can put that in wherever I

1275
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 6: want to.

1276
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 9: So talk about that.

1277
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 10: As far as separating the brand from the personality, that's

1278
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 10: something that it could be a gifting curse, right when

1279
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 10: somebody just associates you with the brand. It's like, we

1280
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 10: don't associate fill Night with Nike, right, but we do

1281
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 10: associate Michael Jordan with Jordan brand.

1282
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 9: Give them pros and cons for both.

1283
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 10: Right, So do you ever separate yourself from the brand

1284
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 10: or do you think it's just completely tied together? Like

1285
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 10: what's your thoughts on and just for entrepreneurs in general

1286
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 10: in this new age of social media as far as

1287
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 10: you know, battling between that, like should I put this

1288
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 10: on social media? Should I not put this on social media?

1289
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 10: Should I always attach my own personal brand to the company?

1290
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 9: Should I back out a little bit? Like what's your philosophy?

1291
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 6: I think that if you if you are your brand, right,

1292
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 6: I am my brand.

1293
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 7: I am tab At the Brown.

1294
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 6: If I own it, like I own Donna's recipe, I'm

1295
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 6: always gonna be attached to it.

1296
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 7: I don't own Target.

1297
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 6: I partner with them, right, so people can still go

1298
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 6: to Target and not think about tab Right, I won't

1299
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 6: forever be Oh is she the Target lady? No, she

1300
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 6: tap at the Brown. She just so happened to have

1301
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 6: a partnership with Target. But Donna's recipe, that's gonna always

1302
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 6: be tab At the brand right, because people gonna know,

1303
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 6: oh that's donad, oh that's her, and I own it.

1304
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 6: So I think that as long as you know the

1305
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 6: difference of partnership versus ownership, because it's a big difference there,

1306
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 6: and if you have that understanding, then you're gonna be

1307
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 6: all right.

1308
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 10: Okay, So let's let's talk about the motivation behind tap Time.

1309
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's talk about that a little bit.

1310
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 10: What made you want to do it and what's the

1311
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 10: dynamics of that.

1312
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 7: So tap Time is my children's show.

1313
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 6: And for about four years, uh, every every day in prayer,

1314
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 6: I would hear God speak to me. He would say,

1315
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 6: heal the world. I need you to heal the world.

1316
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 6: And I'd be like, look, I'm one person. Am I

1317
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 6: gonna heal the world?

1318
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 9: So how often do you actually hear God?

1319
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 7: Very often?

1320
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 6: So there's a so I always help I get this

1321
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 6: question a lot. There's a different way of hearing him.

1322
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 7: Now. To hear the voice that sounds like thunder has

1323
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 7: only happened to me once.

1324
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 9: That's like the Morgan Freeman.

1325
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 7: It was a very I wish it sounded like more.

1326
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 9: No, because that's what you take, but yeah, but it was.

1327
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 6: It sounded more like thunder, and it scared me very bad, exactly.

1328
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 7: But then there's a.

1329
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 6: Way that you know, because everybody is not ready to

1330
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 6: hear the voice, and so he will sometimes make the

1331
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 6: voice sound very familiar to you. So like when my

1332
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 6: mama was sick, she had ls so or she could

1333
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 6: no longer talk towards the end of her life, and

1334
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 6: we'd have to read her lips.

1335
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 7: Or she could have a very small whisper.

1336
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 6: And so I'd be at her house and i'd be

1337
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 6: in the office, and you know, her bedrooms way down

1338
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 6: the hall, and I could hear her as plain as

1339
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 6: they called me. And I go in there, I'm like,

1340
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 6: you call me, mom, And she look at me, like,

1341
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 6: now I call you, and I was like, And so

1342
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 6: she explained me. She said, you know, sometimes God will

1343
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 6: use a voice that sounds like somebody that you know,

1344
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 6: not to scare you. And so sometimes I'll hear the

1345
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 6: voice that sounds familiar, like it could sound like my

1346
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 6: son calling me, can sound like my daughter. But sometimes

1347
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 6: it's a whisper that I hear that it's nagging. So

1348
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 6: it's like unless I address it, it won't.

1349
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 7: Go away right.

1350
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 6: And sometimes it's in a dream Sometimes it's very in

1351
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 6: a dream. I'm not as I always. This used to

1352
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 6: be the joke with me and my mom because my

1353
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 6: mama knew my gift. I ain't scared of my dreams

1354
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 6: in the daytime. Give me a minute, you know, because

1355
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 6: you got to understand, like I'm a child, I was

1356
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 6: a little girl seeing things that nobody else saw, right,

1357
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 6: And I could see something run across the floor, or

1358
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 6: I could see somebody's face change.

1359
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 5: It's just like visions, like sixth sense, yes, and so.

1360
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 6: That's a very scary thing as a child. And then

1361
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 6: you know, me and my husband just talking about this

1362
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 6: on Fridays, was having a chance. I was like twenty six,

1363
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 6: twenty eight before I could sleep with the lights off

1364
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 6: with us together.

1365
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 7: We got a TV.

1366
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 6: We could finally afford one that had the timer so

1367
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 6: that in our bedroom, so he was set it on

1368
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 6: forty five minutes so I could fall asleep, so I

1369
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 6: could have light, you know, in the room before I

1370
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 6: fell asleep. Because of the things that I would see,

1371
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 6: you know, at night would scare me. But that was

1372
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 6: because I was running. I was running from the gift.

1373
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 6: I don't run from it no more. So I'm all

1374
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 6: right now, you know. But so I hear him in

1375
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 6: different ways. And so I always tell people I can't

1376
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 6: tell you how you can hear him versus how I

1377
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,919
Speaker 6: hear him. It's going to be different because everybody didn't

1378
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 6: have the same gift that I have. However, I will

1379
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 6: tell you that thing that you think about that you

1380
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 6: can't shake. Most time it's him trying to nudge you

1381
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 6: on something, and sometimes he speaks to you through other people.

1382
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,439
Speaker 6: Now you can have a thought about something you ain't

1383
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 6: told nobody, and then somebody comes saying, you know what

1384
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 6: I was thinking, you know what you should do? And

1385
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 6: you'd be like, I've been thinking about that. That's him saying,

1386
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 6: let me send it through somebody else, because you won't

1387
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 6: be a handle if he came down and said you

1388
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 6: know that Morgan Freeman boys.

1389
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 7: But it comes in different ways.

1390
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 6: So I was, you know, in prayer, and I kept

1391
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 6: hearing you know, I need you to heal the world,

1392
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 6: and so I was like, how do I do this?

1393
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 6: When I first went begin to heal myself, I was like, oh,

1394
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 6: he meant my body is my world and now I'm healed.

1395
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 6: And he was like, that's cute, tab and that's not that,

1396
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 6: ain't it. And so one morning he was like, it

1397
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 6: starts with children, and I was like, oh, okay.

1398
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 7: So I told my team.

1399
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 6: I was like, listen, I want to do a children's

1400
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 6: show because I have this idea that if I can

1401
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 6: teach children to love themselves, to love each other, to

1402
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 6: see each other despite our differences, have compassion for each other,

1403
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 6: and we do this while learning together about the world,

1404
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 6: those same children will have this inside of them and

1405
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 6: they'll grow up one day and be adults who still

1406
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 6: see each other, we still love each other, have compassion

1407
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 6: for each other, but will also be willing to help

1408
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 6: heal each other. That's the plan, and that's why I

1409
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 6: decided to do S halftime. And I also wanted to

1410
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 6: slow television back down for children. I grew up on

1411
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 6: like mister Rogers, and so I just felt like we

1412
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 6: needed to slow it down.

1413
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 7: You know, my son.

1414
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 6: Was diagnosed with motor tics when he was eight, and

1415
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 6: a lot of children have motor tics or high anxiety.

1416
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 6: In the children's program being over stimulates children. All the

1417
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 6: colors and a lot of like the loud sounds and

1418
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 6: like very fast paced music.

1419
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 7: It's actually over stimulating to children, and.

1420
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 6: So you'll find in the comments when people are talking

1421
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 6: about tab time that a lot of children was like

1422
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 6: autism or motor tics or anxiety. They have them watched

1423
01:08:56,040 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 6: and it calms them down. And it's important I think

1424
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 6: that we remember that we only have children for a

1425
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 6: very small amount of time. A good ten years is

1426
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 6: all we got, and we adult for the rest of

1427
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 6: our life. So for those ten years, if we can

1428
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 6: just be patient with them, slow it down a little bit.

1429
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 6: I think, you know, to have time is.

1430
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 7: Where is it?

1431
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 5: That's always They asked me, what's the adage that I

1432
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 5: always like live by? And it's like, you're going to

1433
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 5: be older a lot longer than you're gonna be younger.

1434
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 7: Man, Ain't you adult for a very long time?

1435
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 6: But you you know, even when we adult, though, we

1436
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 6: refer back to the child in side.

1437
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, And if.

1438
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:42,520
Speaker 6: The child's childhood was something great, then it's a good reflection.

1439
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 6: If it was a lot of trauma, it's tough. And

1440
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 6: so I want to be part of the good reflection.

1441
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 11: You spoke about taving chance Yes. Twenty five years of marriage.

1442
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 7: Twenty years of marriage, twenty five together.

1443
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 5: Twenty five together.

1444
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 11: April nineteen, The Power of strong Union versus the power

1445
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 11: of showing partnership and being married and having finances together.

1446
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 5: Talk about the complexities of that shoot.

1447
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 7: We are very rare.

1448
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 6: It has always been our money together. We struggled together,

1449
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 6: and we've never had separate bank accounts that we like

1450
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 6: keep away from each other everything. For a very long time,

1451
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 6: we had one. Everything just went in that one. Now

1452
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 6: we got multiple and but all of them are still ours.

1453
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 6: We you know, I don't know how other couples do it,

1454
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 6: because that also is not my business. But for me,

1455
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 6: it's like, if I ain't got it, he ain't got it.

1456
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 6: If he got it, I got it right Like, we

1457
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 6: in it together. So our foundation is locked and we

1458
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 6: build together.

1459
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 7: That's that's just what it is.

1460
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 6: And don't matter how much we get, it's gonna still

1461
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 6: be the same.

1462
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 7: You know.

1463
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 10: So the one the one bank account, because that's an

1464
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 10: issue that a lot of people face, that's never been

1465
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:21,759
Speaker 10: an issue for you guys.

1466
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 6: No, but you gotta understand, we were very young, been

1467
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 6: together since we was nineteen, that's all we knew. And listen,

1468
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 6: we had that one bank account and we overdrafted that

1469
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 6: thing together. Okay, we had no money or you know,

1470
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 6: many times and we would have to budget, you know,

1471
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 6: and try to figure it out.

1472
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 7: And when we started making it.

1473
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 6: The only time, the very first time he had to

1474
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 6: get a separate bank account was for a job that

1475
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 6: required it.

1476
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 7: They were like, you have to have a bank account.

1477
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, you're gonna get a bank account,

1478
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 6: just gonna do that on me. Yeah, And they would

1479
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 6: give me one because my credit was too bad back

1480
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 6: then and so and it was a joke. Then he's like, hey,

1481
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 6: you see that I got there. Yeah, I got that credit.

1482
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 6: I was like, you got a six forty cut it out.

1483
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 6: That was back then. But even then I knew what

1484
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 6: was in it. Even then he gave me, you know,

1485
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 6: a bank card.

1486
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 7: It was never.

1487
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 9: A question, Yah, won't it it too?

1488
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 5: Shall become one.

1489
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was never that, you know, even though you

1490
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 6: know you have old school you know this is I

1491
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 6: don't know if this is and my breaking the code.

1492
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 6: If I say this the woman's code, you know, the

1493
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 6: women be like, hey, you make sure you always keep

1494
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:36,839
Speaker 6: a little stance.

1495
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 7: You know.

1496
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 6: My granny used to tell that, you know, woman should

1497
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 6: always have a little something, you know, she have a

1498
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 6: little something stashed away.

1499
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 10: But yeah, I mean I got to ask you about

1500
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 10: that before I had a personal situation before years ago.

1501
01:12:50,720 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 10: It was like, you know, I'm not doing that.

1502
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 7: I ain't saying it was the bank account, but I'm

1503
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 7: just playing.

1504
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 6: But you know, sometimes if you don't build together, you

1505
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 6: don't think you deserve to have a bank account together.

1506
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 5: That's the fact.

1507
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 10: One last question before we finished this is important to

1508
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 10: the vegan what exactly should we not be eating?

1509
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 9: Like, what were you eating? That was an issue?

1510
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 10: What's some of the things that we should definitely avoid

1511
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 10: because you know a lot of people say, like even

1512
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 10: just because you're vegan doesn't necessarily mean.

1513
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 9: That you're healthy.

1514
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 10: Right, that's why exactly a junk exactly, they prefer the

1515
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 10: word like plant based, right, So for educational purposes, Yeah,

1516
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 10: like what were some of the things that you were eating?

1517
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 10: And then what were some of the things that you

1518
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 10: changed to that that changed your life and your health?

1519
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 6: So this is always kind of what takes people throws

1520
01:13:56,080 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 6: them back. I wasn't a terrible eater, right, but I

1521
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 6: didn't eat to feel well. I ate to look a

1522
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 6: certain way, which is different. I ate to look I

1523
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 6: ate to try to be thin. Oh eat a lot, right,

1524
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 6: I didn't eat a lot, but I wasn't eating to

1525
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 6: nourish my body. So I have not had red meat

1526
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 6: or pork since I was fifteen. I was only eating

1527
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 6: fish and chicken and turkey and veggies. I'm allergic to dairy, right,

1528
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 6: Dairy almost killed me. So that's first and foremost, none

1529
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,719
Speaker 6: of us should be eating dairy.

1530
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 9: That's a fact.

1531
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 7: It is a fact.

1532
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 6: That's a fact, none of us. For me, I'm also

1533
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 6: allergic to soy. In the beginning, I was eating it,

1534
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 6: but I kept like having like moments where I would

1535
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 6: feel weird and I would get a headache that would

1536
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 6: start up, and I was like, what is happening? And

1537
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 6: I did an allergae panel and found out I was

1538
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 6: allergic to soy. And also, if we listened to our

1539
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 6: body when we eat something, and our body tells us,

1540
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,439
Speaker 6: it would tell us if it doesn't like it. So

1541
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 6: I would always tell people, you know, the main things,

1542
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 6: and a.

1543
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 7: Lot of people don't want to hear that. We really

1544
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 7: shouldn't be eating chicken.

1545
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 9: That's the fact too.

1546
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 7: We should not be eating chicken.

1547
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 9: That's a fact. The hormones, the it's different. It's not

1548
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 9: even the same chicken anymore.

1549
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 6: It is not and a lot of people always be like, well, tap,

1550
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:20,840

Speaker 7: They also knew the names of their animals that they ate.

1553
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 7: They could. They also probably.

1554
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 9: Started the chicken does not taste the.

1555
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:32,719
Speaker 6: Same exactly, And so uh, you know. I never tried

1556
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 6: to force Beganism on anybody. It is how I live

1557
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 6: my life. I started it for health reasons, and now

1558
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 6: I do it for health, for the planet, for the animals.

1559
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 7: I do it for all that. Why don't I don't

1560
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 7: wear leather.

1561
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 6: But the thing that I feel that changed my life

1562
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 6: was me not eating chicken and soy and of course

1563
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 6: dairy and it definitely killed me.

1564
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 9: And then eating greens. So what did you.

1565
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 6: I eat a lot of live foods like the greens, right,

1566
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:09,520
Speaker 6: A lot of berries, antioxidants, dark dark berries, dark berries, blueberries, blackberries,

1567
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,640
Speaker 6: even raspberries, right, But leafy greens.

1568
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 7: Kale is a super food. It is so healthy for us.

1569
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 7: Collars and not the ones that you're gonna soak in

1570
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 7: the port in. But you can eat the collars. You

1571
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:26,799
Speaker 7: can still make them collar greens.

1572
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 6: But you can use some onion and some mushroom and

1573
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 6: some garlic to you know, you know, season them, but and.

1574
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 7: I juice a lot.

1575
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 9: What do you do for protein?

1576
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:37,799
Speaker 7: Same thing a cow do for protein?

1577
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 9: Nothing eat plants.

1578
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 6: So that's so the misconception is that biggas don't get protein.

1579
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 6: So I always tell people, well, a lot of people

1580
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 6: think they get to eat a steak for protein.

1581
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 7: And I said, what were you think the cow got

1582
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 7: his protein?

1583
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 9: It didn't need another cal chickpeas.

01:16:55,880 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 6: I love chickpeas, yep, chickpe's proteins, beans.

Speaker 7: Nuts, lental.

1586
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 9: What about carbs? Healthy carbs, you know, like sweet potatoes.

1587
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 7: Sweet potatoes, like wild rice.

1588
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,600
Speaker 9: But not rice, like not white washed potatoes.

1589
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 6: And now listen, tab gave up potatoes for lent because

01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 6: I love them.

1591
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 7: My mama used to love them, and I blame nobody

1592
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 7: who love them that much.

1593
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 6: I need to give them up for forty days, you know, right, Brea, Okay,

1594
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,080

1595
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 6: you know, the average person. But every now and then

1596
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 6: I don't do like a white potato. You know, if

1597
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 6: if I want like a baked potato, I like a

01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 6: like an Asian potato they have like a sweet white potato.

1599
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 6: There's there's many healthy options of carbs. There's like lental

1600
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 6: and peapastas that you can have. If you don't want

1601
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 6: to do like heavy starches, you can do like zucchini

1602
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 6: and make that into your noodles.

1603
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,839
Speaker 7: A lot of squash. You can use this noodle spaghetti

1604
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,600
Speaker 7: squa you've had so you know, you slice it up.

1605
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 10: And I'm almost vegan. The only thing I can't so

01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 6: with that. They'll think, oh, no, you can still eat

01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 6: myself a vessel, you know, and a messenger. But I'm

1665

Speaker 6: just sharing my story and how it changed my life.

1666
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 6: And I'm grateful that people say, oh, let me try

1667
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 6: it for me. That's why I would never force what

1668
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 6: I do on anybody. I just simply share and I

1669
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 6: try to root it in love and laughter. But when

1670
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 6: people tell me that, of course I have cried and

1671
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 6: hugged people and just been grateful that God uses me

1672
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:08,680
