Speaker 1: things like a manicure, petticial, a haircut on a weekly basis.

20
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: How about getting your hair braided? Okay, that might be

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: something that a lot of humans on this planet takes

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: for granted. Having a couple of dollars to get your

23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: hair braided. Yes, you have some amazing looking braids in

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: your hair right now.

25
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you so much.

26
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: How much did they cost?

27
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: Five seventy five?

28
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: She's a blessing. Yes, that is a blessing, Philly. Okay,

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: because there are so many people out there right now

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: who would love to get their hair braided but can't

31
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: afford it. Okay, and Stephanie Samuels is one of those women. Now,

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: just when you were younger and couldn't afford bridge, how

33
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: did you make do? Or were you never in that position?

34
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 4: Now?

35
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: I was definitely in that position. I said, a little

36
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: side ponytail with the sprout, okay, And I thought I

37
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: was cute.

38
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: I thought I was killing this. Whe you couldn't afford braid?

39
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: What did you do? You just didn't get them?

40
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: Put my head in a side ponytail, like I just

41
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: said that, I was looking struggly.

42
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, well so I want to know. That's why

43
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask. I wanted to know your story

44
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: because I would assume that if you couldn't afford bridge,

45
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: you just do another protective hairstyle like you just said. Right,

46
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: are you find a cheaper option. Are you gotta work

47
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: for the braidge, pick up an extra job something? But

48
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: what I do know is whatever you chose to do,

49
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: or whatever you choose to do, is smarter than what

50
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Stephanie Samuel did. See. Stephanie was just getting the finishing

51
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: touch she's on her braids, and she told her hairstylist

52
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: four words that a hairstylist never wants to hear, especially

53
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: after she already finished the work. And those words are

54
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: I can't pay you. What happened next? Well, let's go

55
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: to Fox thirteen for the report. Please.

56
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: Latasha Dickerson has been braiding here for more than twenty years.

57
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: Dickerson says Stephanie Samuels has been a client for seventeen years.

58
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 4: Samuels came to her home to have small, extra long

59
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 4: box braids done last month. This cellphone video shows how

60
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: Samuel's hair came out after nine and a half hours

61
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: of braiding. Dick Dickerson says she charged Samuel's two hundred dollars.

62
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: She gave me fifty dollars and said that's all she

63
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: has right now. That was it, and then she was like,

64
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: I can't give you nothing else.

65
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: I gotta pay my mortgage.

66
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 4: Dickerson says she was at a loss for words, especially

67
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 4: because Samuels is a childhood friend. Please say Samuel's bit.

68
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: Dickerson's right arm pepper sprayed her and pulled a box

69
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: cutter on Diggerson while her children were in the home.

70
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: Diggerson says she was looking forward to using the money

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: towards Christmas gifts for her children. She advises hairstylist to

72
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: request a deposit and have clients pay up front before

73
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: starting the service.

74
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: I feel so sorry for this handstyllars. What is it name,

75
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Latasha Latasha Dickerson. Yeah, not only because she didn't get paid.

76
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: I know Dan well, I know Dan well. She couldn't

77
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: properly fight either, okay, because she was tied as hell

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: standing on her feet all that long time, nine and

79
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: a half hours doing this woman's braids. Hairstyllars be exhausted

80
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: after they do a head of hair. You ever see

81
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: that meme with a Popeye's Chicken lady sitting outside looking tighty.

82
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: That's how every handstyle is in America. Who does braids

83
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: be feeling and then you're gonna tell me you can't

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: pay me, Then you're gonna bite me. Pull out some

85
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: type of chemical agents, a pepper spray, okay, and spray

86
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: me with it and pull out a box cut on me.

87
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I ain't got time for all that. And what's crazy

88
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: about this is all projection. Okay, Stephanie got mad because

89
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: she broke, and I understand. I get it. People out

90
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: here doing bad, they're hurting. They broke. Stephanie probably didn't

91
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: bite the hairstyles out of just pure anger. She might

92
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: have been hungry too, okay. And it don't help that

93
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: Lotto out here making songs calling people brokey and it's

94
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: about can you imagine you riding around bumping Lotto album

95
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: that beat drop verse fire and fifty two seconds into

96
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: the song you realize she's talking about you. Come on, man,

97
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: we live in a world with a gap between the

98
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: haves and have nots is so wide, and the have

99
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: nots have to go on social media all day and

100
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: watch a bunch of people lying about how much they have.

101
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: That can cause you to go crazy. But I would

102
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: like to tell people this. You can fix being broke,

103
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: but you can't fix being poor. Okay, being broke is

104
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: temporary a lot of times, being poor systemic but also

105
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: having very poor character because Stephanie, this just shows how

106
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: poor your character is. A Latasha was a childhood friend,

107
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: all right, Sometimes you have to learn to do it out.

108
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: You're not entitled the braids. You can't get mad at

109
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: this woman because you can't afford the hairstyle you want,

110
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: and for you to book in a appointment, get your

111
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: braids put in, and then attack her because you can't

112
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: pay her and you wasted her time. She had every

113
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: right to beat your ass. You didn't have no right

114
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: to throw hands with her. Now you charge with aggravated assault,

115
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: and you have a bond that's one thousand dollars. Okay,

116
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: if she couldn't afford to pay two hundred dollars for braids,

117
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: you think she can pay a thousand? You think she

118
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: can afford to pay a thousand dollars for a bond? Huh?

119
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: Come on, man, comorrold Of. The story is being poor leaders,

120
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: the poor decision making. So don't let temporary circumstances of

121
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: being broke land you into a permanent place called prison.

122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Please give Stephanie Samuels the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

123
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: You. Oh the day, ye, oh the day ye.

124
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: By the way, nine and a half hours, two hundred dollars. Lord,

125
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: have mercy, that's crazy.

126
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: My girl took three and a half to nine.

127
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: Yours is amazing.

128
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

129
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Look at Stephanie. She wasn't know, she wasn't know. She

130
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: was only she was only gonna pay fifty dollars.

131
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: No she yeah, she probably looked at them and was like,

132
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: oh no, I only got fifty dollars for this.

133
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, animal about you, bitch, because

134
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: that's not what I paid for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

135
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Or maybe she just had a rough

136
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: night and it's the way she got them place.

137
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: Now, No, no, that's not that. Looks like we have

138
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: to see one of the things that what I wanted

139
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: versus what I got. Now, I'm looking at the I'm

140
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: looking at it. I'm like, I don't know the bitch,

141
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: that's crazy I was for me to still get up

142
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: looking like that, damn I know.
