6
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,840
to me that a lot of people need to learn about and I feel like everybody's gonna be like what

7
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,640
distance a thing like I never need this well now you know and I'm gonna give it to you.

8
00:00:50,640 --> 00:01:01,120
Today's vibe of the day is National Black Business Month. Yes let me tell you how I found out

9
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:09,560
that August is National Black Business Month. So I have a planner and every ooh I'm sliding

10
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:16,600
the chair and every month like in my planner I write like what it is like you know how

11
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:23,960
they had like a national ice cream day or natural like sexual harassment and things like that.

12
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:29,000
So I looked online and I was looking for some stuff that was like interesting to me for

13
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,200
a while. Okay because the month of August y'all like let me give you a little backstory

14
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,160
on that the month of August has not really been my favorite every year when August come

15
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:46,560
around because August's brains so much tragedy in my life like I lost my uncle like I thought

16
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:56,360
I think it'll be the 31st be like 14 years on the 10th it made a year that I lost my

17
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:04,480
aunt so yes I don't like the month of August for real but so far August has been doing

18
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:11,280
me justice. So yeah y'all when I looked up like you know what's the national days you

19
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,840
know what's national in August because you know August don't have no holidays for real

20
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,600
so I'm like something gotta be popping and it said national black business month that

21
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,080
was the first thing I seen I said what should be that because I never heard of it and it's

22
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,560
so crazy because like this should be national should make national fucking news and it's

23
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:42,040
not because like us as black people we don't get a lot of the fucking support and news

24
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,920
that we need because every time you turn around and you see something about us it's always

25
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:52,120
some fuck shit and I don't like that so yeah when I seen this it just blew a light in my

26
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,920
head I said forget all the other ones but I did write down like don't be a bully month

27
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:04,120
and something else I wrote down but oh well I was like oh my gosh I gotta speak on this

28
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,720
because it's like y'all already know my channel is I don't discriminate when it come to my

29
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,720
people I don't I don't care I don't discriminate like it's all nothing but positivity yeah

30
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,920
sometimes we have always but I always put out the positive because every time you look

31
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:24,680
on the net somebody's putting out the negativity in us and I'm the one that's I'm one of the

32
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:31,080
ones that's gonna put out nothing but jewels for us because we deserve it okay so let's

33
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:38,200
get into it like the research that I found like it just let's get into it national black

34
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:49,160
business month was found in 2004 y'all 2004 that was 19 years ago and nobody has talked

35
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:57,560
about this and it blows my mind cuz it's like this should be a holiday that's being celebrated

36
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,880
it should be a holiday like the whole month should be celebrated like y'all know how we

37
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,440
have black history month and it's so ironic guys in February like there's only 28 days

38
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:14,440
of February 29 for leap year but it's still full of shit to me cuz I feel like we should

39
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:23,320
get a whole month or more two or three months to be honest to you know have that moment

40
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:31,160
that we deserve because shit we did a lot and we deserve it especially our ancestors

41
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,280
like when Martin Luther King only got that one day I don't like that he should have the

42
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:43,560
whole month of January if you ask me but let me get into it again national black business

43
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:57,160
month was found in 2004 19 years ago by Frederick E. Jordan senior and John Williams temptation

44
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,960
national black business month celebrates in supports black owned business and entrepreneurs

45
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:10,640
it promotes economics empowerment and industries with the black community and y'all I'm excited

46
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:16,080
to learn like I was excited to learn about these businesses because y'all know me I

47
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,040
love learning about new things and when it comes to my people I'm gonna support regardless

48
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:29,000
okay I'm gonna support regardless because it's like it's not easy starting a business

49
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:36,720
and being an entrepreneur is not easy it takes time to have that blueprint to make sure everything

50
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,680
is right cuz you don't want your shit to be fucked up and you don't want it to be

51
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:47,800
like dinky and all that and you want everything to go out as well as you see the vision in

52
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:56,320
the head you want that dream to come to reality you don't want no shit slacking okay so let's

53
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:04,720
get into some more facts national black business month says as a powerful platform for networking

54
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:13,640
collab collaboration is showing Kate is showcasing showcasing the diversity range of products

55
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:21,400
and services that is offered by black people like it is very very very it's very crazy

56
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,520
to me because like I never heard of this like I never heard this until I did my research

57
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,600
and it's so crazy because it's like we are social media every day and we're looking

58
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:38,520
at things and finding new things out every day about days and people and things like

59
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,920
that but I never seen no one pull this out the bag I never seen nobody talk about no

60
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:52,400
national black business month like this is an incredible opportunity to promote entrepreneurship

61
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,760
and community development within the black community while also empathizing like the

62
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:05,040
significance of like economics in the industry that plays a big role within the business

63
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,680
for to have a positive change and to have that growth that us business owners want and

64
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,280
I'm like damn why nobody really pointed out but I'm gonna be the one to point it out for

65
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,320
y'all okay because this right here just sound the light on me like I never heard of nothing

66
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,880
like this until I did my own research and I'm gonna lie every day you learn something

67
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,920
new like I believe in that same all the time like you are something new every day like

68
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,240
every day you turn around you learn something new you don't have to be in front of like

69
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,680
I said you don't have to be in front of a damn classroom in front of a professor teacher

70
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,080
or whatever to learn something or your parents don't have to teach you a guardian you learn

71
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,520
you can learn a shit on your own thanks to the internet and books okay you are entitled

72
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,240
to learn things on your own I don't care what y'all say like every day you learn something

73
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,240
new and when I found this out I was like oh yeah I'm gonna talk about this before August

74
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,120
is over because baby August is almost over and I'm like I gotta talk about this because

75
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:12,200
this needs to be said same thing like when I found out about June was national men's

76
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:18,120
health awareness and nobody really speaking on that shit y'all know I had to get on it

77
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:24,320
because it involves things that people don't talk about and it needs to be talked about

78
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:31,720
like shit like Disney's be talked about and it's very empowering because this is about

79
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:38,240
us black people something about us that we have at times you know a lot of things we

80
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,920
have to get taken away but we're not gonna get we're not gonna let this get taken away

81
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,200
because this is about business and when it comes to business oh y'all know we all about

82
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:54,800
it out we gonna make a dollar some type of shape or form and like I was saying within

83
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:02,360
the hustle episode being black baby you will find a hustle you gonna find a way to make

84
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:08,040
some money regardless I don't care what it is what product it is and whatever the way

85
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:14,200
you sell your product and handle it do that that's how that hustle mentality just show

86
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:20,600
what type of business person you are and once I always say shout out to my people because

87
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:27,160
we really really really are motherfucking go getters like we are even though our name is

88
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:33,520
not as big as we wanted to be it's gonna it's gonna take off like I say all the time I

89
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,040
podcast like day by day I'm learning day by day I'm putting stuff out there doing this

90
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:45,440
doing that and it makes me happy little things makes me happy I try not to put as much of

91
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,600
my business on on I was like somebody got to see this because it impacts my business

92
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,560
nothing crazy like I ain't talking about nobody nothing like that it's just me sharing my

93
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:02,920
progress with Char when it comes to my business and that's what I tend to do when it comes

94
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:08,400
to the internet is just promote my business a lot I don't really want to even sometimes

95
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,360
I don't even want to show my face sometimes you know it's because it's like dang when

96
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,440
you wrapped up there's something that you've been manifesting praying and all those good

97
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,520
things for that's the only thing that you're attracted to don't get me wrong y'all know

98
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:28,160
I love school that's my number one concern but also my business too with school I tend

99
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,760
to die down when it came to posting about it because like y'all know you don't see them

100
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,960
degrees just know the degrees when you see them degrees and everything y'all know what's

101
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:42,920
up with this business I'm gonna keep on keep on keep on keep on keep on this ain't gonna

102
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:55,000
stop okay let's get deep into this national black business month okay let's see what we

103
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:04,440
got going on there huh throughout this month of August it is what I looked up and they

104
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:15,760
said like we wholeheartedly realized and highlight the recognize and realize that this month has

105
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:22,680
not been shown a lot of support like it needs to and we strongly encourage customers to

106
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:30,160
show their support now this is the thing about when we are a black entrepreneur at times

107
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,280
like I said well you get the ground rolling you posted people start gravitating you know

108
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,040
like in the first couple days and stuff people gravitate to it and then it started to die

109
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,440
down but I always think of them people that was there from day one the people that was

110
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,760
there from day one was never gonna stop and all my black business entrepreneurs all that

111
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:56,240
gonna hug going to get what I'm about to say once you get your business jumping off the

112
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,880
ground and get it done and you feel like okay to begin okay I'm gonna get this clientele

113
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,960
let me get this good that yeah it gets good up until like things you know if you start

114
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:13,520
posting it often and stuff like that it kind of shut down somewhat and it makes us feel

115
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,880
like dang what are we doing wrong do I need to do like this do I need to do like that

116
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,720
I ain't gonna lie y'all when sometimes you have your good things sometimes you have your

117
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:29,840
bad days but I'm always say this you know your body in this song he said women lie men lie

118
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:40,040
but the numbers don't lie when you look at like your let's say like ratings and viewers

119
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,640
income tax things like that some days you have your good days when it's like ooh you made

120
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,160
your goal or you beyond your goal or you shocked at your goal and sometimes like damn I ain't

121
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,880
meet the goal at all or it's like it's barely a goal and you know shit like that I ain't

122
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:04,720
gonna lie as being the type of CEO that I am for my podcast and when I look on my platform

123
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,120
to see the numbers and the ratings the followers to see who been looking and watching for me

124
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:17,360
even on the Instagram page to sometimes I'd be like what am I doing wrong and I say this

125
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,560
to all the black business people out there entrepreneurs everything business who's gonna

126
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:27,200
be on this anything out there don't give up don't give up because it's like everything

127
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:34,080
takes time it takes a long as time for you to get your ground up and rolling like it

128
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:40,400
takes a long long time and let me tell you something I'm all about black business I support

129
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:48,160
every black business that I can like every single black business that I come across I try to

130
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:55,240
I don't try I do get involved like I get involved so much is just like you get attached because

131
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,920
sometimes it's like damn I didn't know you was this talented and then once you start

132
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:07,400
supporting these people they're gonna support you back and being nice don't kill nobody

133
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:15,320
okay like that's what I learned to be a nice will not kill you at all and it will not kill

134
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:21,440
you at all just being nice to somebody that's not gonna kill you especially if you're black

135
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:27,680
you should support another black person regardless I feel like it should be like it should be

136
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:34,360
right like you black I'm black like how about all you know like people gotta think like

137
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,320
that but some people don't think like that but for us from what I see y'all know I'm

138
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:46,960
from Baltimore and sometimes support at times is like who but you got think you gotta throw

139
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,240
that negative shit out the way you gotta think positive and the positive results you get out

140
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,720
of everything and the support and I think it makes you feel amazing because you never

141
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:03,240
know how much of your business can put an impact on somebody your products your craft

142
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,880
whatever you're doing in your business it can really impact somebody in a in a very very

143
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:15,840
outstanding way like me I want to collaborate as many black people in my city as possible

144
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:21,480
to help them get the recognition that they deserve vice versa for me too I'm doing you

145
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,240
a favor and you have with me do a favor and I'm not looking for anything in return but

146
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,760

159
00:16:51,680 --> 00:17:00,600
of a bag business Brandon Blackwood like oh my gosh I think is one I don't want to mess

160
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:07,600
up her name because I have her bag screenshot in my phone so I know it got holly candy though

161
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:15,120
I if it's a worker holly I think it's worker holly co alcohol I think we don't want to

162
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:20,920
mess it up always glamor holly lifestyle I had that bag I'm getting that bag I had that

163
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:26,280
bag okay and my favorite one is sees that's what we say protect black women and protect

164
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:33,360
black kids all those businesses started from somewhere when it came to accessories and

165
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:38,960
I was like oh my gosh like I was looking at the process because half of them have like

166
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,240
videos on there like how long it took them we know had pictures how they started things

167
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,200
like that and I'm not really allowed to you like I said it takes time for you to see your

168
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,520
craft get to where you wanted to go it takes time for you to get a name especially as a

169
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,040
black business owner it takes time for you to get your name out there in the field because

170
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:03,040
it takes time like sometimes like the followers and stuff that you had I always believe that

171
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,560
too like once you post something I feel like it should be a train like I've posted you

172
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,040
repost my stuff and then your followers start reposting my stuff and my followers start

173
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:18,960
reposting your stuff I just feel like as a black business owner period from all around

174
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:26,920
the world we should see we should be supporting one another and the services that we like

175
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:34,680
or want to try like me I don't wear lashes I don't I tried them before and I ain't gonna

176
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,360
lie half of them was falling off because the way I sleep I'm rough sleeper sometimes and

177
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:43,360
some things fell off but I ain't really like I try my hardest to put them back on and I

178
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:49,240
can't believe it and it was by black business I wore lashes I try to get we I get wings

179
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,320
from black businesses on Amazon yes I look at them boutique people would be like the vendors

180
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,160
that I like all please tell me this black on design messing with no full gaze people

181
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:05,600
that I like all this is no everything I do now it has to be black on from the clothes

182
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:12,280
to the hair every little thing I have I feel like I wanted to be black because I'm saving

183
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:18,520
money and most of all I'm supporting my people like I said we need to support each other

184
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:27,880
because we all we got like I always believe that is nothing support don't cost shit it

185
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:34,320
don't cost a dime to support somebody it don't like support don't cost a thousand dollars

186
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:41,360
it don't it don't just buy somebody's product or trying to come to somebody correct if you

187
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:47,920
want to collab don't do nothing shady you know you got to come off with a positive attitude

188
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:53,760
and that's another thing to people I see a lot of mixed signals and feelings when people

189
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,760
be like oh black people they be again when it comes to the biz no we don't it's just

190
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,440
the way I always say to is not what you say is how you're saying it if you're coming off

191
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,920
to somebody with a sassy attitude like trying to demand them to do for you that's automatic

192
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:16,000
cut off because they have to they have the right to take whatever business they want

193
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,160
to support and what business not to support like like when it comes to people to have

194
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,880
podcasts and broadcasts and all them people they're not just going to collab with anybody

195
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:34,120
they want to collab with people that is on the same level as them when it comes to professional

196
00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:50,160
ism okay nobody wants to be in a predicament where okay I'm gonna give you a chance but

197
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:55,080
you're messing up their name because they took the time and day to collab with you you

198
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:01,760
know that's why I say like as a black business owner just starting out with a podcast or

199
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:09,520
anything and doing my research and stuff at times it is hard okay to get things done

200
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,000
but once you take your time deep breath all side and everything and it come together you

201
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,480
come to light and you calm down and see what's going on is so much better rather than going

202
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,320
through people's necks and stuff I ain't very about to see let me tell you something I was

203
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,000
going to do seasons with this podcast I was going to do like season one season two season

204
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,280
three and the time limit that I had for it was like okay this is a business I'm running

205
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:40,120
for one I'm thinking with my business cap I'm not thinking with no the regular e-cap

206
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:45,280
I'm not doing that I'm thinking of business E what the business E cap on so when it comes

207
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:50,440
to business I'm all about my business as everybody should be in everybody maybe you

208
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:57,960

00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,240

210
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:11,360

211
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:16,400
with this person by this day or on this day to see if they still want to collect you know

212
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:23,360
at times like I said everybody's busy a bad thing's going on sometimes it takes a while

213
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,520
for people you know to get stuff together and it takes also while for me to because you

214
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,320
know I have I still have a life go to school work two jobs up I still want to hang out

215
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,680
signs live my life I have a like to just where we all do however you can tell me somebody

216
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,480
is serious about helping you and want to be a part of the you can tell what somebody just

217
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,960
want to play with you crash and I don't throw shots I'm not doing that but I seem like a

218
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,800
lot of people like wanting to collaborate with people or they did collab they got robbed

219
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:56,640
out of stuff and it's just like are you kidding me like really a lot of people do that but

220
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:03,280
you know that's what comes into the game of being a business owner like I said you're

221
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,960
going to have them days with like oh look at this look at that they're going to be this

222
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,960
going to have some days like oh shit what the fuck is this like something right you know

223
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:18,720
sometimes you are going to make what you want to make you're going to reach goals beyond

224
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:24,040
surprises and sometimes we'll be like what the fuck like I reached nothing we do nothing

225
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:31,960
nobody's not like you know so like I say all the time shout out to my people for doing

226
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:38,080
what y'all do because it's not easy it's not easy at all when it comes to my people that

227
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:48,000
does clothes shoes hair nails all that shout out to y'all because it's not easy this industry

228
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,600
is not easy especially when it comes to the media world it's not easy for us to like entrepreneurs

229
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:01,160
media produce is not easy at all especially when you're black too at times it's not easy

230
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:09,680
that's why I say I feel like as a African American woman that I am everybody that is

231
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:16,960
black should at least support somebody else's business like in honor of national black business

232
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,720
month you should just like do research I don't care if it's somebody in your local and your

233
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:30,160
city whatever online and you see is black on supported supported like you like supports

234
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:37,120
I'm going to her to support don't cost nothing just buy a product wear it and keep moving

235
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:40,720
shout them out all that that's what I do too I get a product from you I like you I'm going

236
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:46,280
to shut you out because I'm not a gatekeeper with things like I don't gate keep shit if

237
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,240
somebody like oh we got a bag from oh god let me give you the link we're gonna choose

239
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:03,160

240
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,960
you onto this boss lady stuff or this boss man stuff like don't you know don't be afraid

241
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:14,920
to help your people when it comes to anything don't be afraid because you're helping them

242
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,240
in the long run and it's helping you too because like you did a good thing and if and that's

243
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,760
nothing too I love about the brand ambassador okay the brand business going where the shit

244
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,000
out of stuff okay oh my god when you're a brand ambassador shout out to the brand ambassador

245
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,360
too because you're part of the business too because you're all the ones that's helping

246
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:39,240
us get our business off the ground too like I said you know at times it's not easy and

247
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,240
especially not easy for the brand ambassador because sometimes they have their days too

248
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:51,600
where they get enough people to you know fund and get products and it's sometimes like you

249
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:58,160
don't get it you know but the number one thing that I respect when it comes to business owners

250
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:03,280
entrepreneurs brand ambassadors all that they don't give up we don't give up we keep going

251
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:09,080
keep going don't stop and tell you get to where you want to be don't stop and I love

252
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:17,160
that because like I said nothing comes overnight and the shit ain't easy it takes the bullets

253
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:25,320
to get the shit done like come on now I work in a shoe store and it's a black it's a few

254
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:31,800
black owned business in the mall and at times when I see them and they booth where they store

255
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:38,560
sometimes it's jumping jumping jumping jumping sometimes it's like a few heads and then they

256
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:44,640
get it sometimes it's empty same thing within even in my store even though it's a company

257
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,800
is sometimes you know we get a lot of people with jump sometimes to be in the now I'm

258
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,880
sometimes like damn nobody in here but it's like when you're in a business and you're

259
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,800
working for a company you're not gonna give up you're gonna find any way to get these

260
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:05,360
people attention anything you know people like or want to see oh you won't hold we're

261
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:10,600
gonna get done and that's another thing too I like about black owned businesses we always

262
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,160
are quick to suggest what the people want because whatever y'all want we're gonna make

263
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,240
it come to life and that's another thing like I always say black people we motherfucking

264
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:25,680
talented to shit like we we have nothing in turn that shit into something like we're

265
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,600
very talented with a lot of things that people don't understand like people like oh my god

266
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:37,200
I don't know how they do that cuz it's called talent it's called talent not a lot of people

267
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:43,080
have it and like you know we had the black festivals are skating all that you and business

268
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:50,480
you know when people have the business things or whatever going on you'd be surprised at

269
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:59,600
how much stuff people be creating like when you see things especially in the clothing

270
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:08,000
world like the clothing world like the graphics the fonts and designs that people had it really

271
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:15,520
just bring so much joy to me because like I said black people we talented to shit and

272
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:22,080
sometimes we don't like to display our talents because we feel as though somebody's gonna

273
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:28,320
take it but I feel as though somebody can try to copy your shit but they're not gonna

274
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:34,480
get the same outcome let alone get the same motion as you because where the jobs live

275
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:42,160
Hernandez nobody is better than the original baby okay so if I started this campaign no

276
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,600
and somebody try to copy my shit they can't get the shit running like me because I'm the

277
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:57,640
original I'm the motherfucking I'm a fucking CEO okay this much shit like you know you

278
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:04,520
gotta you gotta be when you gotta when you boss when you're going on and you gotta have

279
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,080
that mindset like this new shit ain't nobody want to have this shit there what the rich

280
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:15,560
on me quah he said Mr. CEO that's what my titles say and every time I hear that I'd

281
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:21,360
be like Mr. CEO that's my motherfucking title because at times it's certain businesses I

282
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,360
see a lot of people by itself and I blame people sometimes because sometimes like when

283
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,600
you know how you want it done and how you want to operate it that's good sometimes we

284
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,360
have a team that's good too because somebody can take part of this and somebody take part

285
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:39,200
of that whatever you do if you're the boss of a business if you're solo don't know or

286
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:45,640
have a team a village on that long as you get that shit pop it and put orders and ground

287
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:52,600
rules down you good as shit you good because you a CEO you a boss man and we don't get

288
00:29:52,600 --> 00:30:00,080
that not as a black woman and coming up in this business on the media tip and I see a

289
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:06,440
lot of people that is in media also have businesses that from the side and they don't get a lot

290
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:12,320
of support like I feel as though they need I feel like everybody shit that is like entrepreneurs

291
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,840
business people we deserve all the motherfucking flowers that we deserve because the shit is

292
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:25,120
not easy it's not easy to even take take the initiative to really put your craft out there

293
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,120
you know like people say they have stage fright I feel as though to you have been your business

294
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:36,720
on the CEO everything we had stage fright too but fighting about putting it out there

295
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,440
because of the outcome and what people gonna say and that's another thing too when you

296
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:47,600
enter this business game you gotta be prepared for the good in the bed the beautiful shit

297
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:55,720
and the ugly shit like I see some shit from other businesses and I be like damn I hold

298
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:01,840
the body feel the same way about me but sometimes like you know you can't let negative shit

299
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:07,560
get to you because at the end of the day you're doing something that's you know and put the

300
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:14,040
money in your mother's pocket okay so sometimes business owners we don't think of the money

301
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,600
we just think of like the product or the service that we're giving we don't really think of

302
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,720
the money at times yes we're thankful thank God you know whether you pray to believe

303
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:31,320
to that we have it but the main goal is to display what we have been manifest and praying

304
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:38,880
all of things for that we feel as though that people are gonna like as a matter of fact

305
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:45,840
love even try to you know get others on to like I said money you know sometimes all money

306
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,240
is not good money and that's why people be like be your own boss if you don't want to

307
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,360
have troubles get sponsor anything I believe that because sometimes like you know you work

308
00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:00,680
a job 95 so sometimes like I will feel like this shit today you know if sometimes you

309
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:06,400
be like okay if you got a talent you good at something or you wanna or if you see somebody

310
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:12,320
else that has a business and that's a talent that you your talent can impact with their

311
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:18,160
business and crap why not do it why not get into it and y'all y'all always know that

312
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:25,040
I always compare something to what I've seen or heard y'all I was been watching insecure

313
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:35,120
and Isa oh my gosh Isa right that lady is amazing and insecure she was really passionate

314
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:41,120
about music you know she quit a job at the nonprofit organization and people around

315
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:46,120
her was like you like music join the you know nonprofit organization whatever that has the

316
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,840
music you know like even though that wasn't her business but she knew that her talent

317
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,640
can help that business because the business that she was at first she just felt like you

318
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,840
know when you're black you have you when you're black you give off more the draws people's

319
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:11,800
attention or sometimes it's like oh help me help you type you know situation and that's

320
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:18,240
how it was like after I was watching um insecure that was like what in season three when she

321
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:24,080
quit a job towards yes he's three yeah and I was just like what they did to her had no

322
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:30,480
profit was just like dang black sheep type shit I felt like damn like she's black and

323
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,960
they put out there they always thought that oh black people know the answers and black

324
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:40,160
people gonna help me sometimes it's not the case sometimes we want to help each other

325
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,880
we don't want to you know keep helping others because sometimes it's like we're not getting

326
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,240
nothing out of there we just out there in the front line and sometimes we're not getting

327
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:55,720
what we're supposed to get in return because people don't think like that people don't

328
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,040
think like that and that's why I say I'm a strong believer when it comes to this business

329
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:05,480
that you gotta support your people because the shit is not easy and like I said it's

330
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,480
a lot of black businesses out here that may be doing the same product but it's just different

331
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,960
ways and different messages like I got friends that got businesses they sell clothes and sell

332
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:23,520
hair but their hair might cause some more than the other or it's like different names

333
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,960
brands such as with the clothes like yeah I'm selling clothes but my vendor may be different

334
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:35,040
from yours you know like people that's nothing too like I was like damn I don't want to sell

335
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:42,840
clothes and what if my clothes don't be as big as I wanted to be now I still had a dream

336
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,800
you know sometimes having a business but y'all know like I say I love accessories so I might

337
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:52,040
turn around and do the accessories instead like tote bags I feel like nobody is for females

338
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,800
though I gotta do something for the man if he nails I'm still thinking y'all like you

339
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:02,760
know like I say I'm a sponge in I like trying new things and thinking of things and learning

340
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,400
new things especially when you're a business owner slash CEO every day entrepreneur and

341
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,200
all that every day you're learning something new you learning what you can take out what

00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,000

the ground stuff your business is a baby your business is not like a physical human but

362
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:30,120
it's like it's something that is like having common with a baby because it takes a while

363
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:35,040
for things to come up it takes a while for you to get it from the ball rolling to even

364
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:41,560
one to expose it to the world and when to expose to the world like it's not easy to just go
