Speaker 1: sisters Si s as In Samoa I Smith, thank you

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: for joining us, thank you for having me, and we

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: mean that. Man. First of all, I've been on your

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: jewelry line from like the beginning, and so I just

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: want to commend you. You see my errands right now.

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: I just want to commend you for turning that into

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: such like an amazing entrepreneurial adventure, something that meant something

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: to you.

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it meant a lot to me. I needed to

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: bless women with good hoops. And like we were talking

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 2: off camera, how you was talking about the sturdiness of it. Yes,

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: and that's where I brought the I created the bridge hook.

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: And it's like a signature help in terms of the earring,

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: the sturdiness of it.

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: So you know, like most hoops, like when you put

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: them on, they can move back and forth. So I

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: created the bridge hook for the sturdiness and the security

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: of it, but also put my my my.

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Name on it, my branding on it. So when people

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: see you know, yeah, when you see that, you're like, oh,

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: those are Sama Smith arring and that's how I always know.

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: But I love the fact that you saw something because

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: some people might be like jewelry it's oversaturated, like how

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: am I even going to break into something like that?

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: But you created such a great lane for that with

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: something that like sometimes I would have earrings and the

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: little hook part would break off, you know, but with these,

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: that's never ever happened. And I have several pairs of

31
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: the arrings. Thank you. I'm so happy that I'm just excited.

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: How long has the brand been around?

33
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: So I launched on Valentine's Day twenty eleven.

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I just always remember it.

35
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, that's a good thing.

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: Mary j BLI had also done the system that yes,

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: oh you know, Mary was you know, Mary's my girls,

38
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: one of my best friends. And Mary just always supported me.

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: And because I made good hoops, I thank God that.

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: He's blessed me to be able to do that.

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: And Mary always supported me, and I would.

42
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: Always give her the hoops and give her you know,

43
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: the new you know, the new designs and everything.

44
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: And then in like.

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen, Mary was like, because we call each other shorty,

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: so she was like, Shorty, we need to do something together, period,

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: and so we created Sister Love and it's a partnership

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: and it's just showing women that women can work together

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: because you know, women can be caddy. You know men

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: can to but women can be caddy. And you know,

51
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: and a lot of times when they say you don't

52
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: mix business, we're personal. But Mary and I was able

53
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: to actually have a partnership and just show women, you know,

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: how important it is to support each other because she

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: supported me from the beginning and then we became partners.

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: How did y'all become some tight do you remember like

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: the early days, I met Mary at an industry dinner.

58
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say we're party.

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: It was we was at an industry dinner, and you

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,320

Speaker 2: this entustry dinner. We were sitting across from each other.

63
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: Long story short, we exchanged information and maybe about four

64
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: or five days later, Mary calls me and it's a

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,760

122
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: Me and like, don't bring your man to Sistmas aloud.

123
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: It allowed.

124
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: So I mean, my my husband has been at several

125
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: levels because I used to do.

126
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Them at my house and as he got to be there.

127
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's the only guy.

128
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: My son would be there, my son in law would

129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: be there, maybe my cousin Derek would come with his wife,

130
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: but it's mainly all women coming together. And I started

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: it because when my husband started working on NCIS Los

132
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: Angeles in two thousand and nine, I'm such a girl's girl.

133
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: Like I'm the nucleus of my group. I was the

134
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: one I have to fight parties at my house. I

135
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: have everybody's just like all the gatherings at my house.

136
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: You know, we play spades and left right center and

137
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: just what's left right center is?

138
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: This is this dice game. You have to you have

139
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: to get it, okay, just you have.

140
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: To get it so much. It's so much fun.

141
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: And so when I moved to LA I was like, Dad,

142
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: I missed my girls. So I would come home for

143
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: the Christmas holidays. I would cook, because I'm a great cook.

144
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: I would cook, make drinks, have my girls over. And

145
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: then I would do that every Christmas during the Christmas holidays.

146
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: And then I think it was the third year, we

147
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: decided to come up with a theme, and so we

148
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: did onesies, and then by the fourth year, I don't know,

149
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: we did Santa's Workshop. And then my daughters contribute to

150
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: the tradition because they were like mine, you and your friends.

151
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: You guys, you guys drink, you have a good time

152
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: and everything. You guys are laughing. Why don't y'all do

153
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: a talent show?

154
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: So it's no look and there's no talent required.

155
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: When I tell you my girls go in, they are serious.

156
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: They get real serious.

157
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: And so now I have so my best friend Misty

00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine being in this industry. Like you said,

178
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: I guess it was that headcock to the side. Yeah,

179
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: they had got to the side. Was real. They had

185
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: You know, it could be big, it could be small.

186
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: Because my started off maybe it is about maybe twenty

187
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: of us, and then when i'm you know, I think

188
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: the last one at my house it was like maybe

189
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: forty of.

190
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: Us because you know, I'm a girl's girl.

191
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know everybody they go, oh you know, yeah,

192
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: you know, like your circle has to be small.

193
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: My circle has always been big. All of my I love. Yeah,

194
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: I have so many friends. But you know what's really unfortunate.

195
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: I hate when I feel like it's the worst, like

196
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: breaking up with a female friend, because it does at

197
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: times have to happen. Yeah, and I can't stand that,

198
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: and then you feel like dang. One of the hardest

199
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: things is feeling like you've been betrayed, but then being

200
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: able to go back out and still feel open for

201
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: good people, because there's going to be good people, but

202
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a couple of bad apples in there

203
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: that you have to kind of like let rot and

204
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: fall off the tree. But sorry, that happens. Yeah, it happens.

205
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: You know, it's unfortunate, especially if it's somebody that's super

206
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: close to you.

207
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it's just.

208
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: Somebody that's just you know, like somebody that you just

209
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 2: really cool with, and you know what happens. But that

210
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 2: happens as we grow, As I grow spiritually and just

211
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: spiritually mature and just being a mo mind, just living

212
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: in living through life, like you realize that some people

213
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: are just not good for you.

214
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Their energy isn't good for you. I never trust when

215
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: women say I don't have no female friends. Honey, you

216
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: better not. Yeah. I know a second, let me correct

217
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: that because my sister.

218
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: Sloan, growing up, I had all the homegirls and she

219
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: had all the homeboys. Okay, you know what I'm saying,

220
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: Like she had like maybe about five friends, but she

221
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: just rocked with guys, Like she just had a lot

222
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: of guys.

223
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: As her friends got older, did that change it?

224
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: All?

225
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: All my friends are her friends.

226
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: I noticed that when I was younger, I had more

227
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 5: like homeboys and stuff like that. But as I got older,

228
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 5: I started appreciating like friendships because I feel like that

229
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 5: was something that a man could never give me. So

230
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: I think as you get older, you like you open

231
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 5: up to that. But it's a reflect to me when

232
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 5: when you say they don't.

233
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: When women say that don't have no female friends, that

234
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: says a lot about them.

235
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: And I also feel like for you, it's a different

236
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: situation because you also want to make sure people aren't

237
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: using you for access, because I'm sure that's happened too.

238
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: They're like, you know what, and maybe a long time ago.

239
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: But when they're like, but you know what, maybe you

240
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: know what I have to say because my discernment is

241
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: really good.

242
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: That's good.

243
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: So it's like the women around me are usually really genuine.

244
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 2: And when I tell you, I have a lot of

245
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: my friends that I've been friends with since I was

246
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: in first grade.

247
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: That's beautiful.

248
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: I really do, so do I.

249
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: I have newer friends. But my newer friends, you know,

250
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: you gotta vet them out. It's different.

251
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: I was just at a birthday party after I went

252
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: to Jasmine's birthday party in DC, and then when I

253
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: came back, I went to my friend's birthday party who

254
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: I've known since I I've known her for like thirty

255
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: thirty five years. That's beautiful and it felt it's a

256
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: nice feeling to be like, they don't need nothing from me,

257
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: not like you do. But I'm just saying to know that,

258
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: like you've known me for so long, and I've realized

259
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: in my life, like progressing, that it's not good to

260
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: have people around that need you or are always asking

261
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: you for things, are always asking for help. It's nice

262
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: and we can reciprocate those things. If I can help,

263
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: I always will, But there's certain people that are always asking.

264
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, and I've shared this story

265
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: before when I was you know, I'm a twenty one

266
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: year cancer survivor. Yes, I had a conjual sarcoma that

267
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: they found in my right to be a bone, and

268
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: they had to had to have microvascular reconstructive surgery and

269
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: all of that. And during that time, I didn't know

270
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: if I was going to walk again. I didn't know

271
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: what the pathology report was gonna be. I had to

272
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: wait ten days. People will call you up and they

273
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: will ask you for money. Oh, and they will ask

274
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: you for things. And you know what I had to

275
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: in that moment, I was laying in the room in

276
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: the guest house, I mean in the guest room in

277
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: my house with my leg on an incline for six weeks.

278
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: When I had to go to the bathroom, they had

279
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: to hold my leg up to take me to the bathroom.

280
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: My God, During that time, I realized how sacred my

281
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: no was. No, I ain't got it. I don't care

282
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: what you think I have. No, I don't have it

283
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: right because people don't care, and it.

284
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Will never stop. And I stop and they stop, and

285
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: then you say no, and then all of a sudden,

286
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: you're the I know started bringing me peace.

287
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: Right, Because sometimes you know because you sit back and

288
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: you go oh, but you know what, I could give

289
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: it to them and it's staying together. But these are

290
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: grown people, and guess what they figured it out.

291
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, because sometimes it's enabling too. Yes, that's like enabling people.

292
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: What about platonic friendships like having male friends, because you

293
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: said you've always been a girl's girl. I was watching

294
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, I love this serious potonic that's on Apple people.

295
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, do you have like good male friends and

296
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: how has that been navigating that?

297
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: I don't really have a lot of I would say

298
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: male friends as far as like like like.

299
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: Homeboys that I grew up with. Yeah, like people that

300
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: you could be like, I'm hanging out with such and

301
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: such you have?

302
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: So I shut that down a lot times.

303
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't playing that, like, no, that's my home boy year.

304
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: It's not. No, it's not.

305
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: But I have a lot of close family, you know,

306
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: like male friends in my family, you know what I mean, Like,

307
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: you know, like my brothers, my cousin's husbands.

308
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: That's all you need. That's it. Yeah, So how do

309
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: you see? I know this year the theme is cheer.

310
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: For cheers, Like it's like cheerleading and all of that stuff.

311
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: But I don't think I'm gonna put on the cheerleading outfit.

312
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,680

373
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: cousin that's driving up from Baltimore.

374
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: How do you see how do you see this evolving

375
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: in the future, because, like you said, officially, this is

376
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: the second year you're doing it.

377
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,000

Speaker 1: Okay, My partner, Ronnie and his wife have a condo

380
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: in this building. Then we're doing it in.

381
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: The reason why we're doing it there is because you

382
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: could lease out, because you could rent out the rooms

383
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: and one of the rooms actually has a stage that

384
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: the talent part talent money for the talent show and

385
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: the fashion show, and I give good prizes too.

386
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 3: Do you participate in the talent show at all are

387
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: you know?

388
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: Not just but no, I don't participate in the talent

389
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: show and my daughters. No, I don't know.

390
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: But I did have a rap so on way back,

391
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: way before I met Tard, like maybe about two three

392
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: years before before I met tal.

393
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: It was called the Boulevard. It was But how funny

394
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: is it that I did that years ago?

395
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: And maybe about maybe three or four years ago during

396
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: the Christmas holidays, Tard was like, wait, I got something

397
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: to play for y'all, and he played it for me

398
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: and my kids. I was like, oh my god, why

399
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: did you get that from? Where did you find that?

400
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: It's like six minutes long.

401
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.

402
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm sorry I cut you off.

403
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: You were saying, no, I'm fascinated by that song, the Boulevard.

404
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: But that was it.

405
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 5: That was it.

406
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: But had no desire to be a rap artist.

407
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 5: But Angel's asking you, where do you see it moving forward?

408
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 5: Would you do go to other cities? You got other locations?

409
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: Would you I think? Moving forward, I think Sismis can

410
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: be like maybe we can do like.

411
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: A like a conference, Yeah, okay, where women come together,

412
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: you know, partnerships and you know, stuff like that. It's

413
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: endless because I just think sisterhood is so powerful. It

414
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: is and it's so needed and it's so important.

415
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: It's just like you said, you have a big group

416
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: of girlfriends just like I do. So you know how

417
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,159

434
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,760

00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: lot of feathers on it. But kosher turkeys are brines

470
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 2: in salt water already. So but but I would say,

471
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: like my my most requested dish for Thanksgiving is the

472
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 2: day after?

473
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: What you do? What do you do the day after?

474
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: So my mother, back in the days, my mother would

475
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: take all the leftover turkey and the drippings and the gravy,

476
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: and she would slice up a big onion, sautea it

477
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: in butter, add the leftover drippings and the turk and

478
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: the gravy, and then she would put all of the

479
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 2: leftover turkey in the gravy leaded simmer for maybe about

480
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 2: forty five minutes.

481
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: And then you do a pot of grits.

482
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: But the secret to your grits is marskal pone cheese,

483
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: butter and salt and pepay.

484
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: And when I tell you, it is banging.

485
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: And I'm visualizing it too, but I would say, like

486
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: everybody likes my brisket, I do a banging brisket.

487
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 4: It's called Simons banging briskets.

488
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: I love this banging. I got it. What was your

489
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: rap name when I look up the bill Ofvard, because

490
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna look this up later. I don't

491
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: even know if you have a rap name you first was.

492
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: You're not even gonna be able to find it. Let

493
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: me ask and if he can help us. But you know,

494
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: back in the days, my name is just Shorty Love,

495
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: Shorty Love. Okay, I like it. Yeah, but I think

496
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: on that one, I think I think my name.

497
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: I think I just said Simone the cold Heart Boulevard,

498
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: nothing but the boulevard.

499
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: I love it. I could just imagine by the way,

500
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: you know I had a rap song a lot. But

501
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming. Yes, every time I've

502
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,000

00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: Coach hit me up. That water detox was hard, though.

505
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: How many days did you do?

506
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 4: I think I did five days. Supposed to do seven days.

507
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 4: I did five days.

508
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,960
