00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: are well you know, you know, I'm a guy. I

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: really uh around a lot to shows about entrepreneurship, and

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: I know that you know, women are exploding in entrepreneurship,

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: especially African American women are exploding that. I like get

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: a response from each one of you about why do

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: you think that is so? Starting with you, Dr Lucas. So,

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: women are exploding in entrepreneurship because we build businesses based

50
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: off of fastasies from outside, um that we need every

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: single day. And I know that these things like very

52
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: cliche of like, well everybody builds a business also necessity,

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: but women are those as you take go back to

54
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: our history, Um, you know, we were creating solutions to

55
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: problems within our household because women were the ones that were,

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, mainly taking care of the households by the

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: male work. And those things kind of exploded from hey,

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: this is a necessity that I need for my family

59
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: and my children. UM, and we kind of think a

60
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: little bit differently. We're always thinking strategically, were always thinking

61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: innovatively because we need these things right now. UM. And

62
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: right now it is the year I know here in Maryland.

63
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Were located in Maryland and the governor has um said

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: that is me or the women, UM, and we are

65
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: really stepping up to the plate to grow businesses. But

66
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: gentlemen and I want to make sure that we're not

67
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: just starting businesses, but we're growing and scaling those businesses

68
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: so that we can be uh, the next multimillions of

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: those individuals or those women and moms could be the

70
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: next multipmillion dollars businesses that our country. Um. Are birthdays cool?

71
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: And the reason you think differently, that's why I wanted

72
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: UH seems to have a response because you know, I

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: always tell people you're successful by thinking differently, but you're

74
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: even greater, which is greater heights of success when you

75
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: can operate as a team. And that's what you're doing now. MS.

76
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: Sam's your response on why women, especially African American women

77
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: are just exploding in the entrepreneurship fields. So not only

78
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: do we see needs that are immediate, but We've always

79
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: warned so many heads in our families and in our communities,

80
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: and so we have so many talents and most of

81
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: those coming in form of hobbies or you know, things

82
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: you do offer to provide our families and the people

83
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: around that. And so people like Tenere and uh, you

84
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: see that and our neighborhoods, and we see it was

85
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: time to take their hobbies and turn it into money

86
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: making activities for them in their communities. So and then

87
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: coupled with more of our women are going to school

88
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: to get the education that can help them actually pursue

89
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: those goals. And then we have more resources that we

90
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: can go online and look at the information we need,

91
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: or we have different programs, webinars, seminars that we can

92
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: go to to get the information we need to actually

93
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: turn these hobbies into businesses. So it's allowing us to

94
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: cataport ourselves beyond where we were able to go before.

95
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: So the Mirror said, and then all together, well, I

96
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: didn't know the thing about it is that, you know,

97
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm a curious guy. You know, I'm going through Black Enterprise.

98
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: I come across this nice article about the two of you,

101
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: for women to pursue. But there, you know, but they're

102
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: they're my sisters. You know, they're African Americans. And when

103
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: I see women stepping beyond the norm, the norm is

104
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: when I say that not to stay at home mom.

105
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: The normals not just a forty hour week job that

106
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: may include over time, but saying hey, I trust my

00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: gonna go back to reopen to no jobs. And then

157
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: and then some people are being called back to work

158
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: and childcare centers are not even open or they're starting

159
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: to reopen. So how can you go back to work

160
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: and you can have no place to deliver your child

161
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: to be taken care of. Why are you're working? So

162
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about the q CO work, tell me

163
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: how it's been effective now effective now affective now with

164
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: the pandemic, and how does it actually work. So we

165
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: created the que co workus there myself as a space

166
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: jasmine and our train these moms. We will come to

167
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: contact with other mom entrepreneurs that started but they couldn't

168
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: They were struggling with balancing their families and and their kids.

169
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: And coworking is a cool um industry to be in.

170
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: It's a cool um idea, innovative ideas working in the

171
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: space with complete strangers, but being able to do network

172
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: and grow which we all need to grow out businesses.

173
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: But when you add when you think about childcare, cause

174
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: you can buy a Toyota at least the Toyota Corolla

175
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: every single year for the amount that you'll pay in childcare,

176
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: keyes right, So we had to think about, well, how

177
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: are these moms go are living a little the poverty

178
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: levels starting businesses gonna be able to afford childcare? And

179
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I created the coworking space that has babysitting services inside

180
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: of it so that one moms or dad because we

181
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: have both parents, UM can focus on their work. But

182
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: not only can they focus on their work, but they

183
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: can also not have the burden of high childcare costs

184
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: because of how our feed structure. Now, before we were

185
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: fully UM we had our membership was pretty much full

186
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: because of the baby Sydney s that UM that it

187
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: was a pretty quickly. However, UM there you know, there

188
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: was still a lot of businesses that were working inside

189
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: of their traditional office space. Well, places like Facebook and Twitter.

190
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: These companies are now getting an option for for parents,

191
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean for their workers to work from home, and

192
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: I feel that this will be the trend in the

193
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: in the industry of UM those type of companies or

194
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: companies periods saying hey you can work from home, and

195
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: now that childcare part is going to be UM critical.

196
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: So working in a in a space where you can

197
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: come in and get four hours of uninterrupted or three

198
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: hours of uninterrupted work done and then you can like

199
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: do whatever else you need to do for the rest

200
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: of the day is going to be kind of ideal.

201
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: So right now, although we're not open and physically, we

202
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: created a model that will help us the same over

203
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: time hopefully, but we can anticipate that we're going to

204
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: have a large number of people knockingbol parents, knocking at

205
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: outdoor to utilize our services because we know that business

206
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: is not going to be as usual once everything we

207
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: finally reopen. Absolutely that this pandemic has shown, like Twitter

208
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: made an announcement that hey, stay at home, work at

209
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: work remote, which is going to have our effect on

210
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: real estate office real estate in the future, because that's

211
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: the one industry that has a lot of uncertainty. But

212
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: when we come back on our next break, I gotta

213
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: go to ah, Miss Jasmine SAMs. You know, she's a

Speaker 1: As you as we spoke about moms as entrepreneurs, UM

264
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: an area of growth that's exploding out there in the

Speaker 1: the beauty arena. Whe over twelve years of experience and

282
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: the beauty and the hospitality experience, we know what's enduring

283
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: what's happened in this country or with the pandemic, especially

284
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: in the African American community where we are overtly affected

285
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: by the COVID nineteen virus. How is the in the

286
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: Maryland area, how's it being happened? And people coming to

287
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: you advice or what advice are you giving them? Um

288
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: my advice? You know everyone so ready to eiven, reopen

289
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: or just to go through their hair and nails done,

290
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: and you know they are ways to take care of

291
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: those things yourself at home and the many times the

292
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: health of your here, the health of you and the

293
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: health of your nails is most important, but also the

294
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: health of you as an individual, because if you are dead,

295
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: you cannot get your hand and nails run again unless

296
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: he's buy more atticitions. So stay in the mouth, follow

297
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: your state regulations or your county regulations, and follow your

298
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: state board of costology or your barber's board. Follow the regulations.

299
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: So you're saying that, don't put beauty ahead of safety, No,

300
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: don't do that. A lot of people like I said,

301
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: I talked to my my younger brother here. He showed

302
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: me photos, he showed me a video showing how he's

303
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: had to put shower curtains, clear shower curtains between each

304
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: stall in his barber salon. He's removed all the chairs

305
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: out of his barber salon and everything's about plumbing. Only

306
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: he's had to go out and by he's bought goggles,

307
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: he's bought mad of course he has and sanitizer his

308
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: lights home spray. And the problem with that is that

309
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: that was not part of his budget. That has suddenly

310
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: become part of his budget. And so when you have

311
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: in this pandemic world that we're living in and you

312
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: have women or moms trying to break into the entrepreneurial space,

313
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: it's a different model now, correct, right it is. You know,

314
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: when when we got noticed that the city and the

315
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: state was starting to shut down, he had to begin

316
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: to get creative. So in our business, I have a

317
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: hands on an emails on we begin to sell off

318
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: the inventory that we haven't started to create at home

319
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: kits to sell to our clients. So that was one

320
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: way to continue ce revenue generation, right right right so,

321
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: and and also we are membership based, so that was

322
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: another way to make sure that when things are slow

323
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: or like this happened, we have a way to kind

324
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: of maintain our brand and keep ourselves in the fullfront

325
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: either when you know we may not be able to operate,

326
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: then she keeps us alive during this time as well,

327
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: right right, so, as as as zoom, as the as,

328
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: the as the social media world be important during this

329
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: time and how do you use the social media to

330
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: promote your brand? You know, Mom as Entrepreneurs and Dr

331
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: Lucas could be you miss Jazz and spill. It could

332
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: be you responding and both you guys can respond because

333
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: the whole thing is that I know this is a

334
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: joint effort to you know, guys use y'all different ways

335
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: of thinking, like you stated earlier, which makes this, uh,

336
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: this partnership work and uh I go with you first,

337
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: Dr Lucas. So Jasmine and I have definitely gotten very

338
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: creative collectively and individually for our businesses and ensuring that

339
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: all of our brands that we have, whether it's Mom's

340
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: Entrepreneurs or our personal braves are are continues to be alive.

341
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: But we really utilize those platforms to really tell the

342
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: story but also share the resources and the things that

343
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: we knew that most entrepreneurs needed at the time. So

344
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: within a week of UM COVID nineteen hitting M Desmond

345
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: were immediately sharing UM advice, resources and anything anything that

346
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: we that we were able to access or even have

347
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: a knowledge of. We was immediately using UM those platforms

348
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: to share that information. So I know, I strongly I

349
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: had so many beauty experts. As a business consultant, I

350
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: worked with all types of entrepreneurs and I had a

351
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: lot of UM beauty and beauty entrepreneurs in the beauty industry.

352
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: A lot of my entrepreneurs in the beauty industry reach

353
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: old and say well what am I supposed to do

354
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: and quickly, you know, giving them advice on how to

355
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: pivot and their business so that they can stay because

356
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: a lot of times, well the resources that were the

357
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: funding the release programs that originally went out for COVID

358
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: nineteens did not support those type of entrepreneurs. They didn't

359
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: support the duty industry entrepreneurs that may not be taking

360
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: a pay checks or have contractors and do not have employees.

361
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: So giving them education and support on how to pivot

362
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: their business so that they're still generating some type of

363
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: income UM was extremely important. And also what did we

364
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: have available UM from a mom's as entrepreneurs prestructive, so

365
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: we immediately our workshops. While academy is normally face to face,

366
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: that we do that UM specifically face to face so

367
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: that we can have the sole attention of the parents,

368
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: I mean of the mom as they're working towards starting

369
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: their business. We had to pivot that online UM. That

370
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: online virtual academy started March. I mean, I'm sorry, May eighteen, UM.

371
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: And then we also created this fun because we knew

372
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: that a lot of mym entrepreneurs, a lot of black

373
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: mom entrepreneurs, were pushed out of the relief efforts. So

374
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: we knew that, Okay, we don't have millions of dollars,

375
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: but we know that we have a network that could

376
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: possibly donate into a fund to help us support the

377
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: mom owned businesses that are across the country that are

378
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: suffering every day. We're always overlooked, We're always grouped into

379
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: women owned businesses. We are women, but we are moms

380
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: and that's totally different. The the the investment that I

381
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: make is solely contingent on the impact that is going

382
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: to have on my child or on my family. And

383
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: if you are if you are a woman without kids,

384
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: you can take a much greater rest in starting something

385
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: or investing this stuff, because you only have yourself to

386
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: worry about. So that was on the forefront of Jasmine

387
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: and our mind of like, how do we support these moms.

388
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: We're moms, UM, we have a great support system. We

389
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: support one and now that we have a really good

390
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: support system, UM, I would say collectively. But that's not

391
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: the case for a lot of moms, especially in Baltimore.

392
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: We're in Baltimore where most of the households are ran

393
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: by single mothers. So if we want to continue to

394
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: keep crime down, if we want to continue to UM

395
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: had our economy operating UM and a decent faster, we

396
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: need to make sure that these moms have what they

397
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: need financially the same businesses. I know, either the two

398
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: who can talk. Now, Dr lucas you talk, you almost

399
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: ate up all the pol jasmus time she's cleaned all

400
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: into the beauty side of the conversation that you were

401
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: rocking the roll. And then I was like, hey, she

402
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: got right down when our credits is motivational speaker because

403
00:23:53,240 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: she can speak. That is all right, I know that's right.

404
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: But let's let's talk a little bit about miss Jasmine.

405
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: What's just the most rewarding part about being a philanthropist

406
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: because I do see the on the cover of your website.

407
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: I went there and it talks about you know, you

408
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: have twenty six contributors Moms Give Life, Moms Give Community,

409
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: hashtag Giving Tuesdays. You know, over a thousand dollars been

410
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: raised so far. I'm an contribute to that. So my

411
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: name pop up in there this week. Um what I

412
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: love to be able to do. I have a newsletter.

413
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: It goes out every Friday on time and at uh

414
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: nine am to ninety thousand fan club members. I'd love

415
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: to put this video or some type of banner in

416
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: telling your story, your your organizational story, moms and entrepreneurs,

417
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: and see if we can get some more contributions. Is

418
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: that cool? We loveatful beautiful. It's just beautiful, just beautiful, Jasmine.

419
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: You know, I know you don't how much time left

420
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: because you know your business partner can talk. You know

421
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: if my mom say talking, talk her head off of

422
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: a dog. You know what I'm saying. You know where

423
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: they go. Well, you know Dr Lucas was talking. Well,

424
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: I would say the most rewarding things about being philanthropic

425
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: is just the success that we get to see from

426
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: the minds that we support and ultimately thanky thanky going

427
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: when when we cant calling in my business or and

428
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: the things that I'm doing, I can't. I can't quit

429
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: because I have this team of other women who have

430
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: looked up to me in tam Era and have said,

431
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, if they can do it, I can do it.

432
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: So if I quit or Tamara just as to quit,

433
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: does that mean it's okay for them the quit and

434
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: we don't believe that. So for me, this seeing that

435
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: the work they're able to put in, the self motivation

436
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: that they've they've been able to develop because I'm lot

437
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: of them stought out, very discouraged and believing that this

438
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: is not something that they can do. But someone told

439
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: them about the school man and said, maybe you should

440
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: give it a shot. You're very talented, you're very still

441
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: it's sounds for you to put that emotion. And so

442
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: just seeing these women just grow and build their businesses

443
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: and become successful, that's the most people in part we know.

444
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: I've seen organizations like one hundred Black men um you

445
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: know in a c p H National Urban League, you know,

446
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: started one location and then become in affiliates or throughout

447
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: this country. What what just the future of your organization

448
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: UM Moms as entrepreneurs as far as a national platform.

449
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: So it's funny because COVID has allowed us that opportunity

450
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: to go national as we always UM engngeing to do so.

451
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: So now that we have this UM fun it's not

452
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: just a fund for Moms and Baltimore to access. For

453
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: this a fund that anyone, any moment and you at

454
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: the States could access. And also our virtual academy. So

455
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: it pushed us to really step out there and get

456
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: out to the world, into the United States. Until now

457
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: we are a manal organization. That's a beautiful thing. I'm

458
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: speaking to my friends. I'm calling my friends now. You know,

459
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: we've laughed, if I've been corrected on the air, you

460
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: know on my own show. You know that's what you're

461
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: not gonna do is run over these two moms. Okay,

462
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: that'll be polite, but they're gonna pull you to the side.

463
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,280
