Speaker 1: Some donkey to day is just sud themselves. I've been
Speaker 1: watching Charlotte.
Speaker 2: Man, I was ready for.
Speaker 1: I heard them Donkey say it again, Charlay, are don't Charlotte? Yes,
Speaker 1: Donkey Today for Wednesday, December eleventh, goes to a thirty
Speaker 1: six year old woman from Memphis, Tennessee named Stephanie Samuels.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, times is hard and they're
Speaker 1: not getting easier. Okay, no time soon.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: If you're blessed enough to be making a couple of dollars,
Speaker 1: you should thank God for that every day drop on
Speaker 1: the clothes box. For everybody out there just making a
Speaker 1: couple of dollars. Okay, you don't have to be rich
Speaker 1: if you got enough to keep some food on your table,
Speaker 1: a roof over your head, and you can treat yourself
Speaker 1: to things. And when I say things, I'm not talking
Speaker 1: though dy am burking bags or the latest Jordan's. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're doing that, you really winning. I'm talking simple
Speaker 1: things like a manicure, petticial, a haircut on a weekly basis.
Speaker 1: How about getting your hair braided? Okay, that might be
Speaker 1: something that a lot of humans on this planet takes
Speaker 1: for granted. Having a couple of dollars to get your
Speaker 1: hair braided. Yes, you have some amazing looking braids in
Speaker 1: your hair right now.
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: How much did they cost?
Speaker 2: Five seventy five?
Speaker 1: She's a blessing. Yes, that is a blessing, Philly. Okay,
Speaker 1: because there are so many people out there right now
Speaker 1: who would love to get their hair braided but can't
Speaker 1: afford it. Okay, and Stephanie Samuels is one of those women. Now,
Speaker 1: just when you were younger and couldn't afford bridge, how
Speaker 1: did you make do? Or were you never in that position?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: I was definitely in that position. I said, a little
Speaker 2: side ponytail with the sprout, okay, And I thought I
Speaker 2: was cute.
Speaker 1: I thought I was killing this. Whe you couldn't afford braid?
Speaker 1: What did you do? You just didn't get them?
Speaker 2: Put my head in a side ponytail, like I just
Speaker 2: said that, I was looking struggly.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, well so I want to know. That's why
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask. I wanted to know your story
Speaker 1: because I would assume that if you couldn't afford bridge,
Speaker 1: you just do another protective hairstyle like you just said. Right,
Speaker 1: are you find a cheaper option. Are you gotta work
Speaker 1: for the braidge, pick up an extra job something? But
Speaker 1: what I do know is whatever you chose to do,
Speaker 1: or whatever you choose to do, is smarter than what
Speaker 1: Stephanie Samuel did. See. Stephanie was just getting the finishing
Speaker 1: touch she's on her braids, and she told her hairstylist
Speaker 1: four words that a hairstylist never wants to hear, especially
Speaker 1: after she already finished the work. And those words are
Speaker 1: I can't pay you. What happened next? Well, let's go
Speaker 1: to Fox thirteen for the report. Please.
Speaker 4: Latasha Dickerson has been braiding here for more than twenty years.
Speaker 4: Dickerson says Stephanie Samuels has been a client for seventeen years.
Speaker 4: Samuels came to her home to have small, extra long
Speaker 4: box braids done last month. This cellphone video shows how
Speaker 4: Samuel's hair came out after nine and a half hours
Speaker 4: of braiding. Dick Dickerson says she charged Samuel's two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: She gave me fifty dollars and said that's all she
Speaker 2: has right now. That was it, and then she was like,
Speaker 2: I can't give you nothing else.
Speaker 1: I gotta pay my mortgage.
Speaker 4: Dickerson says she was at a loss for words, especially
Speaker 4: because Samuels is a childhood friend. Please say Samuel's bit.
Speaker 4: Dickerson's right arm pepper sprayed her and pulled a box
Speaker 4: cutter on Diggerson while her children were in the home.
Speaker 4: Diggerson says she was looking forward to using the money
Speaker 4: towards Christmas gifts for her children. She advises hairstylist to
Speaker 4: request a deposit and have clients pay up front before
Speaker 4: starting the service.
Speaker 1: I feel so sorry for this handstyllars. What is it name,
Speaker 1: Latasha Latasha Dickerson. Yeah, not only because she didn't get paid.
Speaker 1: I know Dan well, I know Dan well. She couldn't
Speaker 1: properly fight either, okay, because she was tied as hell
Speaker 1: standing on her feet all that long time, nine and
Speaker 1: a half hours doing this woman's braids. Hairstyllars be exhausted
Speaker 1: after they do a head of hair. You ever see
Speaker 1: that meme with a Popeye's Chicken lady sitting outside looking tighty.
Speaker 1: That's how every handstyle is in America. Who does braids
Speaker 1: be feeling and then you're gonna tell me you can't
Speaker 1: pay me, Then you're gonna bite me. Pull out some
Speaker 1: type of chemical agents, a pepper spray, okay, and spray
Speaker 1: me with it and pull out a box cut on me.
Speaker 1: I ain't got time for all that. And what's crazy
Speaker 1: about this is all projection. Okay, Stephanie got mad because
Speaker 1: she broke, and I understand. I get it. People out
Speaker 1: here doing bad, they're hurting. They broke. Stephanie probably didn't
Speaker 1: bite the hairstyles out of just pure anger. She might
Speaker 1: have been hungry too, okay. And it don't help that
Speaker 1: Lotto out here making songs calling people brokey and it's
Speaker 1: about can you imagine you riding around bumping Lotto album
Speaker 1: that beat drop verse fire and fifty two seconds into
Speaker 1: the song you realize she's talking about you. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: we live in a world with a gap between the
Speaker 1: haves and have nots is so wide, and the have
Speaker 1: nots have to go on social media all day and
Speaker 1: watch a bunch of people lying about how much they have.
Speaker 1: That can cause you to go crazy. But I would
Speaker 1: like to tell people this. You can fix being broke,
Speaker 1: but you can't fix being poor. Okay, being broke is
Speaker 1: temporary a lot of times, being poor systemic but also
Speaker 1: having very poor character because Stephanie, this just shows how
Speaker 1: poor your character is. A Latasha was a childhood friend,
Speaker 1: all right, Sometimes you have to learn to do it out.
Speaker 1: You're not entitled the braids. You can't get mad at
Speaker 1: this woman because you can't afford the hairstyle you want,
Speaker 1: and for you to book in a appointment, get your
Speaker 1: braids put in, and then attack her because you can't
Speaker 1: pay her and you wasted her time. She had every
Speaker 1: right to beat your ass. You didn't have no right
Speaker 1: to throw hands with her. Now you charge with aggravated assault,
Speaker 1: and you have a bond that's one thousand dollars. Okay,
Speaker 1: if she couldn't afford to pay two hundred dollars for braids,
Speaker 1: you think she can pay a thousand? You think she
Speaker 1: can afford to pay a thousand dollars for a bond? Huh?
Speaker 1: Come on, man, comorrold Of. The story is being poor leaders,
Speaker 1: the poor decision making. So don't let temporary circumstances of
Speaker 1: being broke land you into a permanent place called prison.
Speaker 1: Please give Stephanie Samuels the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 3: You. Oh the day, ye, oh the day ye.
Speaker 1: By the way, nine and a half hours, two hundred dollars. Lord,
Speaker 1: have mercy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: My girl took three and a half to nine.
Speaker 1: Yours is amazing.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Look at Stephanie. She wasn't know, she wasn't know. She
Speaker 1: was only she was only gonna pay fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: No she yeah, she probably looked at them and was like,
Speaker 2: oh no, I only got fifty dollars for this.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, animal about you, bitch, because
Speaker 1: that's not what I paid for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Or maybe she just had a rough
Speaker 1: night and it's the way she got them place.
Speaker 2: Now, No, no, that's not that. Looks like we have
Speaker 2: to see one of the things that what I wanted
Speaker 2: versus what I got. Now, I'm looking at the I'm
Speaker 2: looking at it. I'm like, I don't know the bitch,
Speaker 2: that's crazy I was for me to still get up
Speaker 2: looking like that, damn I know.
