18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Brooklyn native. I love. I've lived in New York and

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: uh twice in my life. I've lived in Manhattan eight

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: six and first the first time I moved in New

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: York and the last time I was up there doing

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: the w b LS with Steve Harvey. I would live

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: in the two thousand and two thousand and seven, I

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: was living in thirty nineths and first UH enjoyed coming

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: into Brooklyn. UH did a lot of book signings in Brooklyn.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: What makes Brooklyn, New York so special? It's just a

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: unique place. I mean, it's one of the best borrows.

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the best borrow actually in New York. Um,

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm born and raised there. The culture you see everything

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn from what you remember, it is not even

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: the same Brooklyn. It's a different Brooklyn now. I know.

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I went up there. Our friend of mine, he has

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: a little mini donut shop, and I went up there,

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: a little mall there right down the street from the

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets Play and you're bo get around now, I'm

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: money making conversation is now understand that now we're gonna

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: meet each other, we're gonna be juniors or someplace and

38
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: just bump ahead is a junior and shared like a hamburger.

39
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: But now to split the juniors up in Brooklyn, A

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: good a good piece of local junior chief take would

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: never let you down. See so tell us about your

42
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: brain off the top and we're gonna talk about your

43
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: life and uh, what makes you special? Because they come

44
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: on money making conversations. Your story is unique and it's

45
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: about entrepreneurship. But more important, your story is about empowerment,

46
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: female empowerment. Why is female empowerment so important today? I mean,

47
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like there's so many different routes that

48
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: you could take as a female. Mean, growing up in Brooklyn,

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: I could have taken a different route and I had

50
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: people around me that was encouraging me, did you better?

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: And I feel like female empowerment is very, very important

52
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: because there's certain things that a male can teach you,

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: but there's more things that a female can teach you

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: because they're going through the same processes that you probably

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: went through. And I think it's so important for us

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: to kind of spread the word and like start working

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: together and noticing that it's no longer it's not this

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: day of a competition. We need to start collaborating more.

59
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: How do you how do you collaborate? How does that

60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: make it happen? Because we know that, I mean in

61
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: my mind, and collaboration isn't just helping in any way,

62
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Like if you have a platform that you're able to

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: give back to. You need to give back, and you

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: need to be able to help that other younger generation

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: come up. You know, I've been fortunate to be able

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: to have that guidance um as I was growing up

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: and I was able to give back to young women

68
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: that wanted to come up under me. So it's it's

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: so important to like collaborate together as women. You know

70
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: how strong we can be if we work together. Women

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: dominate the shopping they I feel that I've been in marketing,

72
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: radio and television, and every time you look pull out

73
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: a rating sheet, they want to know what women are watching,

74
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: what women are buying, and because you you can. You know,

75
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: it's a known fact that when it comes to the

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: traditional household, husband and wife are just a single female

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: household led by female. You control the purse trings, the

78
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: decision makers, what type of food we you know, sometimes

79
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: where we live. So so there's always been a dominant

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: presence and advertising that women play. But now you're trying

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: to take a grip on the voice in the in

82
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: the respect and credit. I'm assuming right, yes, yes i am.

83
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: I'm trying to take a big grip on it. For

84
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: the younger generation coming up. You know, listen, I'm a

85
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: little bit older, so I didn't have social media growing up.

86
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: When now getting into that, you know, but the kids

87
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: growing up, they're growing, they're growing up with these cell

88
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: phones in their hands, and what normally is portrayed on

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: social media is what these kids followed by. And a

90
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: lot of them think that it's going to be an

91
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: easy road the way they go, and it's really not.

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: And I'm here to help them along the way and

93
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: find other women to want to help them along the way. Okay,

94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: I have a daughter, she's twenty one. I love her

95
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: to death, thank you. You know, she was a tennis star,

96
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: and so she when you when you go into a

97
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: sport like that, had no social training because all she

98
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: did was play tennis basically twenty four hours a day.

99
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: Then she blew out her knee and she didn't drop

100
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: off the Professional Tennis Tour w t A. And so

101
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: now she's trying to find our way. How does an

102
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: organization like you are, an individual like you take our

103
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: mentor or young daughter like mine who's in college. She's

104
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: doing well, she's trying to make friends, but you know,

105
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: but she's getting there. You know she took a part

106
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: time job in Subways. She didn't have to do that,

107
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: but she said, damn, I want to. I want to

108
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: do it. I want to meet people, and I'm proud

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: of her. So how do young women like that in

110
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: this age of social media? This age of me is

111
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: age of I want to go viral, is age of

112
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: a you know, look a look at look at look

113
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: at my side, look at my front, look at my back.

114
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: I need likes. How does a young child navigate the situations?

115
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: I think a young child comes and find some sort

116
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: of mentorship. That's the first thing, finding someone that she

117
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: can trust, finding someone that she could talk to, finding

118
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: someone that she can open up and be herself with.

119
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: Once she figured that out, finding what makes her happy

120
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: besides tennis, if everything else was to go, understanding on

121
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: what is going to be her end result and listen.

122
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: I always tell my friends, like, whatever makes you happy,

123
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: makes you happy. It could be sitting in front of TV,

124
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: watching TV. It could be anything. But you need to

125
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: be honest with yourself and understand what your goals are

126
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: in life and really really pay attention to that and

127
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: don't like say that it's not accomplishable. I think that

128
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: what your daughter is doing is magnificent. She's getting herself

129
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: out there. She's putting herself out there. I think finding

130
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: that that someone that can leave her and guide her

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: and just talk to her on a every month basis,

132
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: not even every day every month. I find to be

133
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: very interesting to to just be able to talk to

134
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: someone and be able to tell them your dreams and

135
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: your goal and have them push you along the way

136
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: and be your biggest cheerleader. And for you, you can

137
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: be her cheerleader from the side as well. It's it's

138
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: so important for her to be able to navigate her

139
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: life in the way that she wants to navigate it.

140
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: And I think she is going to find her way

141
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: and she's gonna make tons of friends and and figure

142
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: out maybe tennis wasn't being goal. Maybe it's something else.

143
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Maybe she wants to start her own business, Maybe she

144
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: wants to start her own training camp. It needs to

145
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: be figured out. What does she like? And that's what

146
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm allowing her to do. I'm allowing her to do

147
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: that and with guidance, with with allowing her to make

148
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: her mistakes and then let her know that her dad

149
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: isn't perfect. That's the key. I want to make her

150
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: understand that I make mistakes, and mistakes are all right,

151
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: you know they're correctable. Just don't keep making the same mistake.

152
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: But we want when we come back, I want to

153
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: talk about the festival there as October to the twenty

154
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: one in the Industry and Industry City in Brooklyn, New York.

155
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: It's the festival that's about women empowerment. So we were

Speaker 1: is an in city October Twe Yeah, And what made

214
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: me really do it is I was going to all

215
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: these festivals for years and years, and with my background

216
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: and trade shows, I basically wanted I've always wanted to

217
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: create something for girls. I've had this passion for so long. Um.

218
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: I started a nonprofit years ago called the Brooklyn Into

219
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: where I was able to help get girls um internships

220
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: to different companies in different industries. So it's basically a

221
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: mashup of that and what I've learned throughout the years

222
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: of doing trade shows, and uh, it's phenomenal just to

223
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: be able to give back to young girls growing up

224
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. I know what I could have became if

225
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have the guidance. And I want other young

226
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: girls to understand, especially with the social media age, it's

227
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: so important for them to understand what's real and what's fake.

228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: And I want them to understand how they can be

229
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: so dynamic if they're able to come together at work together.

230
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: We Envision is enbronment, right. I went to your website

231
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: which is Envisioned, which is E N V s N

232
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: Festival dot com, and I'm looking at the very diverse

233
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: image of the three young ladies that you have on

234
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: your page, and I think that's important that you that

235
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, the only thing about it is that, uh,

236
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: you know, just a corner Frae, you can we all

237
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: get along? Can we all cohabitate? Can we all communicate?

238
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: When I look at this picture, that's what you're saying, Yes, exactly.

239
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: It's about it's I grew up knowing that it wasn't

240
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: an African American thing. It wasn't a um Caucasian thing.

241
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: I grew up around so many different cultures and we

242
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: travel and my experiences this is what basically have led

243
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: me to make it a multicultural thing. And that's what

244
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: it's exciting about Envision. Now, so you have a number

245
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: of brand partners on here. How does one become a

246
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: brand partner? How does want to become a sponsor, a

247
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,600

251
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: six months ago and with my background, people honestly jumped

252
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: on being like you know what, we know what you do.

Speaker 1: urban as Don Julio, Okay, now late night for the

269
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: nighttime only. You know. The thing about it is that,

270
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: first of all, I feel a good spirit in you

271
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: from an entrepreneur standpoint. I had to bring you on

272
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: the show because of the fact that that you know,

273
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: it's so many lanes of success that people experience, and

274
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: then what yours is about being an entrepreneur but also

275
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: giving back an educating. Is that difficult to do? Um No,

276
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: I think it comes natural, to be honest with you,

277
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: I think you have to want to do it, and

278
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: that's something that I want to do. That's like my

279
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: annual goal. Like if I was to die tomorrow, I

280
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: can know that I did all I can do in

281
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: the limited amount of time that I've had to be

282
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: able to give back to certain young ladies. And I

283
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: always believe that even if it's one or two, you've

284
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: at least shocked to do something, and that's all it

285
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: takes is to put some sort of effort into it.

286
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe it's hard. I think it's if continue

287
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: to do and that has been my calling and you're

288
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: calling to exist through the whole thing. Now, what determines

289
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: if this is gonna be year two. You're calling Rashawn

290
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: in October next year, go Rashawn because I can't come. Well,

291
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: I said, my daughter, my wife down there to experience

292
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: it because we have a relationship now Ms Murdoch and

293
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: having that relationship for me state you can, you can.

294
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: You can come on Money Making Conversation. This shows about

295
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: promoting your brand and about being able to get the

296
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: word out about your bread in various different platforms. Also

297
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: the fact that please give me a social media banner

298
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: so I can post it on my social media some

299
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: of my I have a large following. I have a

300
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: large following in the New York market and so in

301
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: all the East Coast market, and I definitely you know.

302
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: The thing about it is that here's a deal. You

303
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: have a dream, and your dream is share able, which

304
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I think is important for us to hear that. And

305
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: because a lot of people have a selfish dreams, so

306
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: they have dreams that this is only tied to their

307
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: personal success. Your dream is tied to success of many.

308

309
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,320

311
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,600

Speaker 1: you gain from all this? What do you gain? I

314
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: don't gain anything. I gained the feeling of me being

315
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: able to empower young girls. What makes this successful is

316
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: the amount of people turning out. You know, I want

Speaker 1: are empowered by the people that they here speak, that

321
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,119

Speaker 1: have been in the industry, that have done what they've

323
