Speaker 1: you do. Are you understand the value of giving back
Speaker 1: and the importance and giving back? Give us more detail

Speaker 1: think it's a little you know, it's a little easier
Speaker 1: to always keep that in mind at the forefront, you know,
Speaker 1: when you come from humble beginning. So but as I
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, her Impact Foundation, it's just a
Speaker 1: a foundation that UM I started to be able to
Speaker 1: UM give back to the community, UM and just make
Speaker 1: sure that I'm always keeping UM charity and others. You know,
Speaker 1: at the forefront, you know of what it is that
Speaker 1: I do now. Now with that being said, on Mondays,
Speaker 1: I do money making conversations. Then you do money making
Speaker 1: Mondays on your Instagram. That's why I know it's sending you.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk of day. Okay, so tell us money
Speaker 1: making Monday start on your Instagram account. Yes, so money
Speaker 1: making mondays. Um, I saw that maybe about four years ago. Um.
Speaker 1: And pretty much what it is is it's a platform
Speaker 1: or free platform for me to be able to give
Speaker 1: advice to other entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs. Um. And so
Speaker 1: what I do is, um, it's a lot of storytelling,
Speaker 1: telling my story and how it is that I get
Speaker 1: to where I am today. UM. And it's an open platform.
Speaker 1: I do it live on my Instagram UM and answer
Speaker 1: various questions you know, from other individuals out there. So, UM,
Speaker 1: it gives gives people kind of that one on one
Speaker 1: time and access to me, right because see that's why
Speaker 1: I started money making conversation started on my Facebook page.
Speaker 1: And so when I was managing Steve Harvey, you know,
Speaker 1: people are always coming to me can mentor me? Can
Speaker 1: you can I call you? You know the same That's

Speaker 1: That's what she's saying, and then she gets Then other
Speaker 1: people have similar questions and she could answer thousands of people.
Speaker 1: Are hundreds of people at the same time from an
Speaker 1: expert standpoint, because generally people have the same question. They're
Speaker 1: the same How do I start a business? How do
Speaker 1: our attacks or how employed? All all the things that
Speaker 1: people need to know. But the fact that you're taking
Speaker 1: time because I know that's why I started the radio show,
Speaker 1: because I know on my Instagram card, I was just
Speaker 1: doing it. I wasn't even doing it live. She's smart,
Speaker 1: she's doing it live when she can talk. I was
Speaker 1: doing a chat, so you know, I was chatting. Somebody
Speaker 1: asked me a question. They want to know another courtion
Speaker 1: about six courtions down before I wrapped up with that
Speaker 1: one person. So I know the value of what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. But again, it's still about giving information to
Speaker 1: people not charging for the information, you know, taking advantage
Speaker 1: of the blessings given to you. You returned it with
Speaker 1: this information portal called moneymaking. Mondays absolutely. Now let's talk
Speaker 1: about Dillard Hospitality Group. That's you. How did they come about?
Speaker 1: You know, I said earlier, you're serial entrepreneur. Talk about
Speaker 1: different business businesses that you have under that umbrella. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I've been an entrepreneur for the past eleven years,
Speaker 1: ever since I was about I went to Banda by
Speaker 1: an age sixteen, graduated at twenty, and I've been owning
Speaker 1: businesses ever since about a year after college. And so, UM,
Speaker 1: once I kind of had my prowl and error and
Speaker 1: you know, some of those failures that actually started having
Speaker 1: successful businesses, UM, I decided to kind of put them
Speaker 1: under this um rella Dealer Hospitality, you know, for all
Speaker 1: of my restaurant tentures. Um and so I've been here,
Speaker 1: I've been here in Atlanta for about ten years. I
Speaker 1: started a party bus company when I first moved here.
Speaker 1: Party of bus, a party of bus company. Now, what
Speaker 1: exactly was that party busking? What exactly was that? Um if?
Speaker 1: I owned party buses and so people could rent the
Speaker 1: buses to take them out UM, and so it was
Speaker 1: a really big thing, you know back when I was
Speaker 1: doing it. Uh. But yeah, so UM I was doing that,
Speaker 1: and I was doing it for about two or three years.
Speaker 1: It was it was fairly successful. You know, we've got profited,
Speaker 1: you know, over six figures a year and things of
Speaker 1: that nature. But it wasn't something that I love and
Speaker 1: something that I really enjoyed. UM. And what I really
Speaker 1: love and enjoy doing is the actually the restaurants and
Speaker 1: the lounges and so UM. I saved my money from
Speaker 1: that business then was able to open up UM, which
Speaker 1: was my second lounge. I opened up my first lounge
Speaker 1: when I was twenty four, But my second one, which
Speaker 1: ended up being my first successful one, was the Hohoka Hideaway,
Speaker 1: which I owned right off of Auburn Avenue on yet
Speaker 1: the Heo Junior Drive, and so UM started that business. UM.
Speaker 1: A couple of years into that venture, I was able
Speaker 1: to connect with the Rapper two Chains UM. I had
Speaker 1: wanted to do a second location UM and the business
Speaker 1: people kind of linked us together. I felt like we
Speaker 1: would be a good, good payer to do business with
Speaker 1: each other UM and they were right, and UM, you know,
Speaker 1: we we got together and we did Escobar Restaurant in
Speaker 1: tap of Us. We later opened members only allowed. He
Speaker 1: was just right down count as well Um. And then
Speaker 1: I also owned crave Um solely by myself. It's a
Speaker 1: restaurant venture that I just opened a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago at a little five point um. And then you know, Snoo,
Speaker 1: you're too much now, you know, because you're not even
Speaker 1: stressing in this. I'm tired listening to you, Snoop. But
Speaker 1: somewhere along the line, I gotta stop you and say,
Speaker 1: first of all, you know, I went to Vanderbilt when
Speaker 1: I was sixteen, graduated when I was Jesus Castle. I
Speaker 1: went to I went to the University of Knew I
Speaker 1: was eighteen. I graduating, Okay, I'll just let you know
Speaker 1: what you're talking to. Okay, I got a math degree,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna slow you down. Now. I'm proud of
Speaker 1: my looking degree, but I wasn't sixteen and twenty okay.
Speaker 1: And then open my next restaurant. And then I had
Speaker 1: the party Kings. We're making six figures, but I wasn't
Speaker 1: happy with the way I was making a six figures
Speaker 1: and I gotten busy with a rapper. We hit it
Speaker 1: right off, you know. So now we got that, we
Speaker 1: got this, we got that, and then crazy I decided
Speaker 1: to do that on my own. Now let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this though. You're gonna have a driver
Speaker 1: next year because I want you to live to you
Speaker 1: old and rus Sean McDonald telling you right now. You
Speaker 1: never met me before, but you know, I love you, girl,
Speaker 1: and I want you because you're doing stuff for the community,
Speaker 1: doing stuff for yourself. You showing women a form of
Speaker 1: empowerment that you can do business multi levels of business
Speaker 1: in the hospitality world okay, which we know is a
Speaker 1: male dominated world, okay, and so and being successful. So
Speaker 1: so I jokingly just stopped you so you can hear
Speaker 1: yourself because people like me, like you have a general
Speaker 1: tendency just keep doing stuff. But don't understand that what
Speaker 1: you're doing is not normal. You know that, you know
Speaker 1: what you're doing is not normal, correct, Yeah, just because
Speaker 1: a lot of times I think when you're super motivated person,
Speaker 1: you always doing a lot of things. You know it,
Speaker 1: definitely it's really important to stop and smell your own roles,
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, and you know, kind
Speaker 1: of give yourself that pat on the back. You know
Speaker 1: you do. We forget to do that, you know you do,
Speaker 1: And I think that's important. That's why I developed this
Speaker 1: show because it's about being having a balanced life. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't I wasn't really understanding that being able to
Speaker 1: because I was just onto the next, onto the next,
Speaker 1: onto the next, And sometimes you get nervous. Sometimes that
Speaker 1: nervousness drive you to the next because you don't know
Speaker 1: if you miss out on an opportunity, will it come around.
Speaker 1: But you know, your brand is such snoop that you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at I'm just looking at now, you know. Now,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just it's protecting you, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but allowing you to sit back and and
Speaker 1: like I said, and you have the right to sitting
Speaker 1: in the throne. You have the right to sit in
Speaker 1: the throne and understand these are the people who are
Speaker 1: allowed me to be great. And because you've done the work,
Speaker 1: you got you got the resume to justify that you
Speaker 1: are great. And so when I look at this now,
Speaker 1: tell us about the Crave restaurant here it was a
Speaker 1: little five points. Tell us about that menu restaurant. It
Speaker 1: has a really unique concept behind it. What I did
Speaker 1: is I looked at the phenomenon that we haven't here
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, which is, um, you know, most of the
Speaker 1: people here are not from here. You know, You've got
Speaker 1: a melting pot of people that come from different cities
Speaker 1: and countries and things of that nature. And so um,
Speaker 1: a lot of us that are born and raised here
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, we come from other cities, and we've got
Speaker 1: signature dishes and things of that nature that these other
Speaker 1: cities are known for that a lot of people crave
Speaker 1: and miss you know, once they missed once they moved here.
Speaker 1: So UM, I kind of played off that, and um,
Speaker 1: we serve things like Maine Lobster Roads, Billy Cheese Steaks, Detroit,
Speaker 1: Coney Islands, Uh, Chicago Guy Roles. So I took items
Speaker 1: from popular cities around the country, UM, and just put
Speaker 1: them all together on the menu. And so you know,
Speaker 1: you've got people coming in from Ohio that are used
Speaker 1: to their five Points Skyline chili um, and they can
Speaker 1: they can literally get it right there and crave and
Speaker 1: it takes, you know, just like it used to taste
Speaker 1: back at home. So UM, that's the unique concept that
Speaker 1: I came up with. It crave and like I said,
Speaker 1: we've been up for about two weeks. We'll be having
Speaker 1: our grand opening um the end of this moth. Okay, okay, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: You know I gotta I'm a foodie. Now you if
Speaker 1: you don't let me if I'm not there for it,
Speaker 1: because you know I do. Just think called rush is
Speaker 1: my little uh. I put it on my I got
