<v Speaker 1>a roof over your head, and you can treat yourself

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to things. And when I say things, I'm not talking

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>though dy am burking bags or the latest Jordan's. You know,

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>if you're doing that, you really winning. I'm talking simple

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>things like a manicure, petticial, a haircut on a weekly basis.

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>How about getting your hair braided? Okay, that might be

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>something that a lot of humans on this planet takes

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>for granted. Having a couple of dollars to get your

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>hair braided. Yes, you have some amazing looking braids in

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>your hair right now.

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, thank you so much.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>How much did they cost?

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Five seventy five?

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>She's a blessing. Yes, that is a blessing, Philly. Okay,

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>because there are so many people out there right now

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>who would love to get their hair braided but can't

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>afford it. Okay, and Stephanie Samuels is one of those women. Now,

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>just when you were younger and couldn't afford bridge, how

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>did you make do? Or were you never in that position?

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 4>Now?

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I was definitely in that position. I said, a little

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 2>side ponytail with the sprout, okay, And I thought I

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>was cute.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was killing this. Whe you couldn't afford braid?

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>What did you do? You just didn't get them?

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Put my head in a side ponytail, like I just

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>said that, I was looking struggly.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, well so I want to know. That's why

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to ask. I wanted to know your story

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>because I would assume that if you couldn't afford bridge,

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you just do another protective hairstyle like you just said. Right,

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>are you find a cheaper option. Are you gotta work

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>for the braidge, pick up an extra job something? But

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>what I do know is whatever you chose to do,

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>or whatever you choose to do, is smarter than what

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Stephanie Samuel did. See. Stephanie was just getting the finishing

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>touch she's on her braids, and she told her hairstylist

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>four words that a hairstylist never wants to hear, especially

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>after she already finished the work. And those words are

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't pay you. What happened next? Well, let's go

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to Fox thirteen for the report. Please.

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Latasha Dickerson has been braiding here for more than twenty years.

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Dickerson says Stephanie Samuels has been a client for seventeen years.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 4>Samuels came to her home to have small, extra long

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 4>box braids done last month. This cellphone video shows how

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Samuel's hair came out after nine and a half hours

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 4>of braiding. Dick Dickerson says she charged Samuel's two hundred dollars.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>She gave me fifty dollars and said that's all she

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 2>has right now. That was it, and then she was like,

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't give you nothing else.

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I gotta pay my mortgage.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 4>Dickerson says she was at a loss for words, especially

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 4>because Samuels is a childhood friend. Please say Samuel's bit.

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 4>Dickerson's right arm pepper sprayed her and pulled a box

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 4>cutter on Diggerson while her children were in the home.

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 4>Diggerson says she was looking forward to using the money

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 4>towards Christmas gifts for her children. She advises hairstylist to

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 4>request a deposit and have clients pay up front before

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 4>starting the service.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel so sorry for this handstyllars. What is it name,

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Latasha Latasha Dickerson. Yeah, not only because she didn't get paid.

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I know Dan well, I know Dan well. She couldn't

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>properly fight either, okay, because she was tied as hell

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>standing on her feet all that long time, nine and

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>a half hours doing this woman's braids. Hairstyllars be exhausted

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>after they do a head of hair. You ever see

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that meme with a Popeye's Chicken lady sitting outside looking tighty.

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>That's how every handstyle is in America. Who does braids

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>be feeling and then you're gonna tell me you can't

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>pay me, Then you're gonna bite me. Pull out some

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>type of chemical agents, a pepper spray, okay, and spray

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>me with it and pull out a box cut on me.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I ain't got time for all that. And what's crazy

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>about this is all projection. Okay, Stephanie got mad because

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>she broke, and I understand. I get it. People out

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>here doing bad, they're hurting. They broke. Stephanie probably didn't

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>bite the hairstyles out of just pure anger. She might

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>have been hungry too, okay. And it don't help that

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Lotto out here making songs calling people brokey and it's

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>about can you imagine you riding around bumping Lotto album

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that beat drop verse fire and fifty two seconds into

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the song you realize she's talking about you. Come on, man,

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>we live in a world with a gap between the

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.039
<v Speaker 1>haves and have nots is so wide, and the have

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>nots have to go on social media all day and

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>watch a bunch of people lying about how much they have.

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>That can cause you to go crazy. But I would

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>like to tell people this. You can fix being broke,

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>but you can't fix being poor. Okay, being broke is

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>temporary a lot of times, being poor systemic but also

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>having very poor character because Stephanie, this just shows how

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>poor your character is. A Latasha was a childhood friend,

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>all right, Sometimes you have to learn to do it out.

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>You're not entitled the braids. You can't get mad at

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>this woman because you can't afford the hairstyle you want,

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and for you to book in a appointment, get your

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 1>braids put in, and then attack her because you can't

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>pay her and you wasted her time. She had every

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>right to beat your ass. You didn't have no right

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to throw hands with her. Now you charge with aggravated assault,

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and you have a bond that's one thousand dollars. Okay,

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>if she couldn't afford to pay two hundred dollars for braids,

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you think she can pay a thousand? You think she

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>can afford to pay a thousand dollars for a bond? Huh?

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Come on, man, comorrold Of. The story is being poor leaders,

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the poor decision making. So don't let temporary circumstances of

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>being broke land you into a permanent place called prison.

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Please give Stephanie Samuels the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 3>You. Oh the day, ye, oh the day ye.

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>By the way, nine and a half hours, two hundred dollars. Lord,

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:58.559
<v Speaker 1>have mercy, that's crazy.

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 2>My girl took three and a half to nine.

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:01.720

<v Speaker 1>was only she was only gonna pay fifty dollars.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 2>No she yeah, she probably looked at them and was like,

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 2>oh no, I only got fifty dollars for this.

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.120

<v Speaker 1>night and it's the way she got them place.

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:34.000

<v Speaker 2>to see one of the things that what I wanted
