So before we get 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:46.240 to my interview with Tama Sharie, girl, we got something 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.360 to talk about. Yes, we got a few things to 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.840 talk about actually on this fine Friday. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:53.520 So first thing. 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:58.440 First, we got to get into what's been happening in 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.400 the streets of Alta. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:02.560 And y'all know what I'm talking about. 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:08.119 Martel Hope Baby filming for the Real Housewives of Atlanta. 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.360 We've seen the pictures, we've seen the photos, we've seen 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.240 the videos. Honey, we've seen it all. I'll just talk 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.120 about this stuff that we've seen online, and who knows, 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.840 maybe I'll confirm some stuff yes, okay, So we've all 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:32.160 have been seeing pictures of Sonya Richards Ross's husband Ross, 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.440 that's his name, right, Ross. Yes, he had a birthday party. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.760 I believe it was his fortieth birthday party. And he 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:45.679 had a great Gatsby theme. So look, if I see 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:51.520 one more great Gatsby theme, I am going to poke 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.720 myself in the eyeball. Ross had a great gas beet thing, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.840 because that's what men who are turning forty one? 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.040 Okay, whatever I mean, I digress. Okay. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:07.920 So Martell showed up with his boo Cherie, and there's 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:13.240 a video that has leaked online that appears to show 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:20.200 Martell filming with Charae by his side and Kenya legend 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:25.520 more across from him, and a lot of people are 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.880 speculating whether or not Kenya and Martell we're having a 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.760 heated discussion, like what. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.440 Was going on? 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.560 So look y'all about to give me a trouble, honey, 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:36.720 I got bills to pay. 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.800 The other thing I'll say is. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:46.399 I heard it went down basement and that yep, Martell 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.040 versus Kenya. To know that something may have went down 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:52.720 with Martel and Kenya. 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:54.639 One thing we know. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.600 About Martel Martel speaks his mind. Unlike most of the 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.800 husbands on the show, Martell's speaks his mind and he 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.919 goes off on anybody that he feels is going off 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.160 on him. We've seen it on my show Love and 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.080 Marriage Huntsville, and Martel speaks his mind. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.160 He's a Capricorn. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:21.800 He pledged the fraternity Kappa Alpha Si, so to know 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.400 that him and the Titan, like Kenya had a moment. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.600 Oh, I can't wait. 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.079 He's going to make sure that these women know, like I, 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.120 I'm not the husbands y'all used to like, I am 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:42.840 going if y'all go gutter, I am going Jason Project 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.360 the thirteenth Basement on ya. Okay, Martel ain't the one 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.000 to play with. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.560 He's not. He's not. 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.920 And it'll be interesting to see how Charae handles it, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.960 because look, Charay and Kenya are friends, and although I'm 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.520 aware of what A heard, I'm not gonna say it, 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:07.080 but I am curious to see whether or not Charae 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:12.680 is able to, you know, defend her man without losing 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.320 her friendship with Kenya. Because one thing we know is 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.240 Kenya and Charay are really friends in real life, their neighbors, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.440 and they really do enjoy each other. They sit next 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.680 to each other at the reunion. They had a good 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.880 old key key, So it'll be very interesting to see 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:35.840 what happens. Kenya is just somebody who is a force multiplier. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.400 And look, Martel is one of the best male force 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.680 multipliers on reality television. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.760 I don't think. 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.359 Those peaches are ready for the likes of Martell Hope. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:54.200 And what's so interesting is not since Peter Thomas, have 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.520 you seen a husband on the show just speak his 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.360 mind and don't care if he's involved in the woman's 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.640 business or not. So it'll be interesting. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.320 Now. Look, Martel is still. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.279 I want to make it very clear my loves Martella 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.200 is still very much a part of the Love and 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.080 Marriage Huntsville universe. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.320 So you know he went over there to play with 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.919 the girls for a second. That's cute. 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:25.760 So the only thing I'm going to say is buckle 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.560 up because I can't wait to get my hands on 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.000 Cherie Whitchfield in Huntsville. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:33.440 Stay tuned. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.720 Speaking of Love and Marriage Huntsville, last week's episode was 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:48.200 the most anticipated episode of the season, and you finally 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:54.640 got to see what happened at Destiny MADNNI location where 0:05:54.760 --> 0:06:01.359 Melody Miss Wanda, Martel and Marcel. Oh like this big 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:06.040 old melay that happened, and let's talk about it. 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.560 What's going to be interesting to see. 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:15.320 Is how the cast is able to move forward after this, which, yes, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.840 you're going to see episodes where they talk about it. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:23.200 You're going to see episodes where the original six, the Scott's, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.360 the Hotes, and Scott's two point zero have a conversation 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.719 about what happened. You're going to see Marcel and Tisha 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.919 talk to Miss Wanda. You're going to see a very 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:41.599 interesting way of how adults deal with a situation to 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.800 where something heated happen. The best thing I love about 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.440 this show is this cast is super real, but they're 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:56.480 also very super aware of their position. And that's why 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:02.360 when you see what happened after this melee, you're going 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.400 to see a very mature conversation just about respect. And 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.840 what also makes me happy is the fact that no 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:16.520 punches were thrown, no hits were landed, and that's what 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.160 we like to see on reality television. Y'all could tweet 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.520 me all day long about Ratchet, this Ratchet that I'm 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.040 happy that no one got hurt. I'm happy that these 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:31.840 grown adults felt the need to have this heated moment, 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:37.840 but also new to separate themselves from it, and that's 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:42.720 something that should be applauded. And we will get more 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.640 into this at the upcoming reunion that's taping in a 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.160 few weeks. But the main thing that I want to 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:55.560 address is this this social media commentary about the word ratchet. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.640 I feel like it's overused and y'all are using it 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.160 a lot when it comes to black people having a 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.920 very heated moment on reality television. Y'all don't use the 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:12.480 word of ratchet when Teresa July split the table. Y'all 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.120 don't use the word of ratchet when Lisa Renna put 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.160 a glass on the table, broke the glass and threw 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.640 a drink at Kim Richards. Y'all only use the word 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:29.680 ratchet as it applies to black people, and that pisces 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.520 me off. And it pisses me off because it's the 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.440 black audience some of y'all who run with that narrative. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:43.160 It's the real world. Everyone in the real world. I 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:48.680 don't know any families or friendships black white agent or 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:56.679 Latino where people haven't had a huge disagreement that escalated 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:01.840 and people wanting to defend each other. That's life. White 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.000 folks do it, black folks do it. Everyone does it. 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.400 But still y'all use the word ratchet as it relates 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.280 to what happened in this episode. And then y'all love 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.800 to say, well, oh my gosh, y'all make black people 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.559 look bad. Let me tell y'all something, You are responsible 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:23.520 for yourself. Not one person of color should feel that 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.319 they carry the weight of the community or their shoulders. 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.920 And we all make mistakes. What's the point of living 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.040 this life if you're going to live this life without 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:32.840 making mistakes. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.040 We all make mistakes. 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.800 When you guys saw Will Smith slap Chris Rock, I 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.840 don't think the word ratchet was ever used. And that 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.160 was a physical contact. And what's so interesting about that 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.200 moment is that happened on a mainstream stage called the 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.479 Academy Awards. But that was an act of physical contact. 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.160 So that's not ratchet. But black people are having a 0:09:59.160 --> 0:09:59.720 heated moment. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.320 You need to look deep down inside and figure out 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.520 where it comes from and why you feel the need 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.360 to say it, and why you feel the need to 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:14.960 care what the white community feels about you. It's a 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.800 very deeper conversation in terms of why you feel the 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:22.480 need to judge a group of black folks that had 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.600 a moment that they apologized for and moved on from it. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.280 Why can't you move on from it while you have 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:34.000 to put labels on us. That's some deep rudish shit 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.120 that some of you guys need to figure out moving on. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.600 Oh Pastor King came out, baby, Okay, let me stop. 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.400 So, as you all know, the Real Housewives of Potomac 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:49.280 is back. 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.800 Yes, you know. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.680 That's one of my favorite franchises. I love this show 0:10:55.760 --> 0:11:01.600 so much. Mia, who is in her second season of 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:07.640 the Real house Vibes of Potomac. She recently tweeted a 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.600 video of an upcoming friend to the show named Jacqueline. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.360 She it appeared she was being filmed cussing somebody out 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:20.679 and they're trying to say that it was like her 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:21.880 baby daddy. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:23.080 Or something like that. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:30.440 So long story short, Mia posted the video, and I'm 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:38.440 paraphrasing because Mia deleted the post. But Mia called out 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.560 violence and how violence is not okay. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:42.680 Blah blah blah blah blah. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:49.640 So doctor Wendy saw that and responded to Mia and said, 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.319 and I quote girl, I know you not talking about 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.119 not condoning violence. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.360 You threw a drink on me and hit me. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:07.600 With your purse multiple times, breaking three nails in the process. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:13.640 You are the poster child for violence. Okay, what we 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.040 saw on the super trailer for this season of the 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.840 Real Housewives of Atomac is the fact that Mia did 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.600 throw a drink in Doctor Wendy's face. And yes, it 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.240 happened at Bar one, Miami. And guess that is Peter 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:38.559 Thomas restaurant. Oh lord Jesus, so rain drops. Doctor Wendy 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.000 just spilled some tea. Girl, I didn't know. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.680 Y'all got to wait, was this a physical fight? 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.679 I thought she threw a drink on you and then 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:51.160 y'all were pulled away by security. But doctor Wendy is 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:57.559 alleging that Mia hit her with her purse multiple times 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:04.520 and she broke three of her nails in the process. Okay, 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:10.440 that's not okay. And look, I like Mia. I think 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.160 Mia is a great housewife. I just don't think it's 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:20.679 interesting when you have to have a physical fight in 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.600 order to have a moment. But I'm also aware that 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:28.760 shit just happens. My hope is that doctor Wendy and 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.360 Mia are able to move on from this, well, Child, 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:37.439 Carlos Reginald King the first you just saw that doctor 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.360 Wendy blasted her, So ain't not moving on? 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.280 Okay, I have to talk to myself. Okay. So yeah, 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.559 it looks like they ain't gonna move on from it. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.360 So rain Drops, I want to hear from you. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.360 How do you guys feel about physical violence on reality television? 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.880 Do you think it ruins the show? 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.559 Do you think it's unnecessary or do you think it 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.120 shouldn't happen at all and we shouldn't air it. I 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.040 really want to hear that. And again, I'm somebody who's 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:11.680 aware that shit just happens. But one thing that I 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.880 talked to my cast about, whether it's Love and Marriage, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.440 Huntsville Love and Marriage, DC Bell Collective, etc. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:18.199 Et cetera. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.720 I talk to them about using the power of your 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.960 words in order to defend yourself, because that's what I 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.240 would like to see in any situation. Let's talk about it, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.760 Let's have an open discussion and make sure you hashtag 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:38.040 reality with the King and without further ado, here's my 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.120 conversation with Tama Sharie, who child. We talked about so 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:50.720 much stuff after the Part two Bell Collective Reunion. Oh 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.240 ray drops, we got the midday Diva in the building today, 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.720 Bell Collective star, Miss Tambra Sarie. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.280 Hey girl, Hey Carlos, here are you? 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:06.680 I'm doing good. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:11.640 Listen, we have to get into this overall season of 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:16.480 Bell Collective. The reunion has aired, a lot of people 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.480 have a lot to say. But before we get to 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:22.840 all of that, Tambra, I want the listeners to get 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:27.320 to know you. Talk to us Tambra about how did 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:28.640 you get started. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.800 In radio being the mid a diva? 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.240 Knowing that you come from very humble beginnings in Jackson, Mississippi. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:40.320 I started in college through a internship. My major is 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.960 not mass communications. I actually went to I was in 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.480 business school in management and marketing. I had the NBA degree, 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.640 But I realized when I interned at a corporation, I 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.040 would finish the work really fast. I would start looking 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:59.200 at entertainment news like that, I would start listening to 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.800 music like I loved entertainment. So I interned at a 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.360 radio station and from there the rest is history. 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:12.120 And how long have you been a radio personality? Because listen, 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.920 we like to humble brag on reality with the king. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.800 Because I believe in giving people their. 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.440 Flowers, especially while they're still alive. So you have been 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.920 the number one Miday Diva in Jackson, Mississippi for a 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.840 very long time. Talk to us about that and what 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.560 is your goal with being this radio personality that now 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.280 is a television personality. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.320 Well, honestly, this is my third radio station throughout my career. 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:40.800 This is my third. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.520 Yes, so yes, I started. I started as an entertainment 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.320 news reporter. I started. I was doing overnights when I 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.160 was interning. Then when we became actually on air, I 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.600 started doing entertainment news. And I was doing an entertainment 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.120 news reporter in the afternoons on another station. And then 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.640 when I had I came to ninety seven is Black 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:03.880 owner bought this station. I was doing television in this market. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.639 I was actually doing television on CW thirty four. I 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.520 was doing an entertainment television program where I was interviewing 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.119 artists and covering events on that show as well. So 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.280 that's how and then they came. They found out about me, 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.159 and I don't even remember interviewing for the job. I 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.439 don't remember filling out an application. I just came in 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.240 and it was like you're hired, and that's my story. 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.080 I will say this and then you'll learn this about me. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.560 As far as like internships, I remember the very first 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.600 time I did intern at a radio station. I remember 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.439 walking in and they were putting me with the midday 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.800 personality that was at that radio station. And I was 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:47.320 so excited because I loved like this person was super talented. 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.680 I listened to her every day, so I was excited. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.160 And the program. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.280 Director walked me in and he's like, you'll be interning 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:58.399 with her. As soon as he walked out, She's like, 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.760 I do not know why they brought you in here. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.480 I don't even do interns, and that lady did not 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.239 speak to me for weeks. I would just do her 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:12.760 entertainment news exactly exactly, and we're friends to this day now. 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.280 Now I grew on her, but I vowed to never 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.320 do another female in this industry like. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:20.840 I was done. 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.359 You know what is so interesting, I'm so happy you 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.360 shared that story because it reminds me of just how 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.439 important internships are. So I got my start in this 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.520 business being the king of internships because I'm a student 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:37.359 of entertainment. 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:38.800 So I would read. 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:44.240 Endless articles and biographies of just celebrities right and puff daddy. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.800 This is like in the nineties. He would always say 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.080 intern intern. So, long story short, I moved to New 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:55.080 York City. I intern at The View twenty twenty primetime 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.280 Live of Barbara Walters MTV, and my last internship was 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.440 at Beet And what you said about your experience is 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.000 very similar to mine. Long story short. When you have 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.359 a calling in your life, it can either make people 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.639 embrace you or make people shun you because I'm just 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:16.680 gonna say it, because of jealousy and their own insecurities. Long 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:23.640 story short, this woman was so mean to me. Okay, 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:31.480 she she was the department head of the network and 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.159 she did not like me at all. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.680 So mind you. I was twenty five years old at 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:38.280 this time. 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.560 While some people think at twenty five you need to 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.760 be making six figures and. 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.320 At the height of your career. No, my journey was different. 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.680 So I was twenty five years old, still in college, 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:56.959 and this woman hated on me so much that she 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.520 would never speak to me. She saw how other people 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.760 loved me and admire my work. And when I got 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.240 hired to be a production assistant, I got paid less 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:11.040 than my white counterpart, who was also an intern. That 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.960 got promoted to be a PA and he and I 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.639 exchanged stories about how much we're making, and I've realized 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.840 he was making fifty dollars more than me, and I 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.160 was devastated, like, I'm this black boy trying to make 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.200 it at this network and you're paying this white boy 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:31.400 fifty dollars more than me. Okay, it gets worse. Then 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:37.760 I got this PA job. She told my boss to 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.160 fire me, and she said, I just don't like him. 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:46.120 He walks around smiling all day. He's he's always happy, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.600 which means he's not working. And all I see him 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.480 do is talk to people. This this whatever so long 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:57.119 story short. It goes to show you that when you 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:02.520 are coming up in this business, always the tey to 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:07.480 match negativity with negativity, and you always have to stand 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:11.040 into your purpose and know that people's problem with you 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.560 has nothing to do with you, and then you have 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:14.600 to rise above it. 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.840 And look where I am now, Look where you are now. 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.160 And I know my listeners are either starting in their 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.679 career or already into their career, and some may be interns. 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:28.160 Our purpose is to share these stories so that when 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.840 people are going through this experience right now, they know 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:33.440 never match the. 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.920 Energy, always rise above it, and. 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.040 I guarantee you you're going to win in the end. 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:44.280 Yes, absolutely, because you can easily get discouraged in this industry. 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:45.880 We go through things. 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:49.399 So what it is when I find women who genuinely 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.360 care about you and who genuinely want to see. 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.760 Other women win. I love that because I did not 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:56.440 have that. 0:21:58.080 --> 0:21:58.480 Baby. 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:01.600 I hate t interrupt, but stay two because we'll get 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.800 back into my conversation with Tama Charie right after this 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:14.639 quick break. 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.480 This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:25.600 Let's get back into my conversation with Tambra Scherie. Let's 0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:30.800 get started about Bell Collective, a show about women supporting women. 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:39.320 Are you sure? Are you sure? 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:43.600 Well, honey, I watched it and sold millions of people 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:47.480 because this season was litty okay, So with Bill Collector 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:51.280 first camera around, I'm gonna give y'all some insider tea. 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:57.080 So long story short, I decided to go through this 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:02.000 consultation where this wonderful I named Jacoby McGee was like, 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:03.640 I want, you know, I want to pitch a show 0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:07.960 to you, mister King, about Latitia Pearce's Brunch. I want 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:09.959 the show to be about that, and I was like, 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:11.600 I don't know, that's too small. 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:12.600 I like to think bigger. 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:15.160 And I said, I want to do a show about 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:19.320 the movers and shakers of Jackson, Mississippi, black women who 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.399 are married or in relationships or just to show the 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:27.679 success of these women and also to show that you 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:29.880 don't have to live in the big cities in order 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.760 to be successful. And long story short, I met Letitia 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:35.600 and I got a chance to meet all these women. 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:41.480 Tamborough Cherie was not a part of the pilot. So 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:46.360 this is what happens oftentimes in television. So when you 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:50.160 pitch a reality show to a network, nine times out 0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:52.840 of ten, you have to shoot a pilot. It's called 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:57.200 a proof of concept. You have to show if this 0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:01.440 show is worthy of being greenlit to a series where 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:06.439 you get multiple episodes. So we did a pilot with 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:15.879 five black women and Jackson. We have Marie Latrese, Latitia, Antoinette, 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:19.800 and another female and the show was great. 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:23.000 The pilot was great. We got picked up to a series. 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:27.000 A few weeks before filming, one other ladies backed out 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:28.119 and we were like, oh. 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:29.359 My gosh, what's about to happen. 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:33.440 That guy Jakobe I said, look, honey, can you give 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:38.200 me some more names of entrepreneur women and Jackson. 0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:40.199 I got a list of names. 0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:47.240 I saw Tambracheries tape and I said, there is something 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:48.800 special about this woman. 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:52.120 I never told you this story, tamber. I said, there's 0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:53.920 something special about her. 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.879 She has star quality, she's super humble, and I just 0:24:57.920 --> 0:24:58.840 love the fact that. 0:24:58.840 --> 0:24:59.960 She was born and raising jacks. 0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:03.400 And then I pitched you to the network and they said, 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:07.760 we see what you see, and Miss Tambra got a 0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:11.600 call and two weeks later she started filming Bill Collective. 0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:14.680 Yes, yes, it was very. 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.080 Fast for me. Yes, thank you, Carlos, thank you. 0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:20.479 And I tell people all the time they're like hello us, 0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:24.120 and no, for me, it went by so fast. And 0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.960 I was the last person to pretty much come on 0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:31.399 this show, and the process went very very fast, like 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.159
