Speaker 1: right in Beverly Hills or right on Peko on Robertson.
1:15
Speaker 1: So it's a pretty popular intersection right in the center
1:18
Speaker 1: of the city. Yeah, because because the reason is because
1:21
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when traffic is bad, I take Robertson
1:25
Speaker 1: and can make that left, and I gotta go right
1:27
Speaker 1: past Peek Cold, you know, and I had to stop
1:30
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to get to Santa Monica. Make that
1:32
Speaker 1: right so I get into Hollywood. So I'll make that
1:35
Speaker 1: left because I always stand because it's gonna be mad
1:37
Speaker 1: because I always stay at the at the International Intercondo,
1:41
Speaker 1: the hotel, which is right there in central city. I'm
1:43
Speaker 1: right down the street from so oh yeah, yeah, next
1:46
Speaker 1: time you gotta pull over and come on in. Yes,
1:49
Speaker 1: what's what's the experience? You know, because when here's tattoo,
1:52
Speaker 1: because I know you have an experience when one comes
1:54
Speaker 1: into your location. Talk to us about the experience. Um,
1:58
Speaker 1: you mean like the experience of like a client, So
2:01
Speaker 1: like clients, I know, you have your work on the
2:03
Speaker 1: walls and things like that. Correct. Yeah, So um, everyone
2:08
Speaker 1: that steps from the shop they literally said, like, man,
2:11
Speaker 1: the vibing here is just amazing, and that's what I wanted. Um,
2:16
Speaker 1: I knew I wanted a tattoo shop. But when you
2:19
Speaker 1: think about UM, tattoo shops in the past, like a
2:21
Speaker 1: lot of them are like a little hole in the
2:23
Speaker 1: wall shops or you know, just not really like a
2:26
Speaker 1: super comforting vibe. But like Enigma, when you walk in,
2:29
Speaker 1: it's good music, good energy, beautiful artwork. I mean there's
2:34
Speaker 1: eight of us, and all of us are painters as well,
2:37
Speaker 1: So people come in and they're literally like blown away
2:40
Speaker 1: by all the art on the walls. And again this
2:42
Speaker 1: is like an art gallery, you know. So we've been
2:45
Speaker 1: blessed to have UM two annual art shows since we've
2:49
Speaker 1: been open. UM people come in and purchased artwork for
2:52
Speaker 1: their homes and um, you know, they get tattoos. So
2:56
Speaker 1: the tattoo experience is just very very relaxing and I
3:00
Speaker 1: guess you could say scenic, you know, because there, you know,
3:03
Speaker 1: they get to just look at all the art while
3:05
Speaker 1: they get tattoos. We always have good music going, good conversation.
3:09
Speaker 1: It's just a good vibe. Well that's why, that's why
3:12
Speaker 1: I was one of the people understand that, you know,
3:14
Speaker 1: you know, people, all people have different version of what
3:17
Speaker 1: they feel the tattoo I've seen them. You know, you
3:19
Speaker 1: go down Hollywood sun sunset and then you just see
3:23
Speaker 1: you look over they go, I'm not going up in there,
3:26
Speaker 1: you know. Or you you know, that's not a place
3:28
Speaker 1: that that you want to go for the very first
3:30
Speaker 1: time to get your tattoo. But that's the experience that
3:32
Speaker 1: you didn't want at your location. And and and when
3:35
Speaker 1: we first talked, when you first opened it, that's what
3:38
Speaker 1: really excited me was that you was creating an experience
3:42
Speaker 1: and that the people will walk away and tell somebody
3:44
Speaker 1: else about that experience. And that's really and that's very
3:48
Speaker 1: in line with you know what what what you get
3:50
Speaker 1: when you go to beauty slaws and uh barbershops, it
3:55
Speaker 1: is experience. That's why you keep coming back because you
3:57
Speaker 1: sit there and talk and chat and chop it up,
3:59
Speaker 1: but you adding the creative aspect of artwork, which is
4:02
Speaker 1: really part of your passion, right yeah. And I feel
4:06
Speaker 1: like with any um, like with any service industry, whether
4:09
Speaker 1: it's like um past you shop or like you said,
4:12
Speaker 1: hair salon and Barbara, like you know, social media is
4:15
Speaker 1: so prevalent these days, um, but really what matters is
4:19
Speaker 1: the word of mouth, you know, and what people are
4:22
Speaker 1: saying and spreading the word about about your place of business.
4:25
Speaker 1: So I think that that's more important than than anything. Well,
4:29
Speaker 1: you know, the thing about it is that, first of all,
4:31
Speaker 1: you said social media now, uh, you know, you just
4:34
Speaker 1: posing left and right. Just it's just out there, just posing,
4:37
Speaker 1: you know. And so are you modeling now or because
4:40
Speaker 1: because I just that's a good thing now, because all
4:43
Speaker 1: your all your all your poses are in good taste
4:46
Speaker 1: and and and and but the but the response and
4:48
Speaker 1: the engagement that you're getting is really incredible, and I
4:51
Speaker 1: commend you on that because you're doing it more or
4:54
Speaker 1: or I just stopped started following you at the wrong
4:56
Speaker 1: time because you always pop up on my timeline at
4:59
Speaker 1: that po wasn't again, it wasn't again and so so
5:03
Speaker 1: so is that is that personal growth for you to
5:05
Speaker 1: realize that who you are, you feel good about your
5:08
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying you never felt good about yourself,
5:09
Speaker 1: but you really are showing your brain and that's part
5:12
Speaker 1: of your marketing. Yeah, thank you so much. I really
5:16
Speaker 1: appreciate you noticing that because I remember when I first
5:19
Speaker 1: started tattooing, um I felt like I had to um be,
5:23
Speaker 1: I had to hide the faith and you know, the
5:26
Speaker 1: beauty behind the girl that was the artist. I felt
5:28
Speaker 1: like in order to be taken serious in this industry,
5:31
Speaker 1: I could only put out my tattoos, you know, like
5:34
Speaker 1: it's not about me, it's not about what I look like.
5:36
Speaker 1: It's only about my artwork. And I've built up my
5:39
Speaker 1: portfolio to a place where people know that my work
5:42
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. But um, thanks to you know, reality TV,
5:46
Speaker 1: people got to see me and got to get to
5:49
Speaker 1: know me and know who I am behind you know, um,
5:53
Speaker 1: all the tattoos and stuff. So now I'm not a
5:56
Speaker 1: place where I'm comfortable, like I feel like my work
5:59
Speaker 1: is spoken for itself, and I can also like I
6:02
Speaker 1: work hard to I'm in the gym, you know, like
6:04
Speaker 1: I have beautiful tattoos on my body, and I've been
6:08
Speaker 1: blessed for like you know, endorsement deals and beauty brands
6:11
Speaker 1: and fashion brands to recognize me and you want me
6:14
Speaker 1: to represent their brands. So it's just crazy how things
6:17
Speaker 1: come full circles. You know. I've always just stayed true
6:20
Speaker 1: to just being the best that I can in any aspect,
6:23
Speaker 1: whether it's working you know, tattoos, my artwork, working out
6:27
Speaker 1: and um things are just starting to comfortable circles. So
6:31
Speaker 1: I used to remember I used to take pictures and
6:33
Speaker 1: my mom would be like, like, why are you just
6:34
Speaker 1: taking pictures for no reason? It's just for a magazine
6:37
Speaker 1: or something, And now it's for it's for an endorsement,
6:41
Speaker 1: you know right right? Oh, no, you're a fire you know,
6:44
Speaker 1: you know you know me. I'm I'm a professional. I
6:46
Speaker 1: gotta say an eye for talent. I understand what branding
6:49
Speaker 1: is all about. And I just have noticed the comfort
6:52
Speaker 1: zone and then a targeted approach to what you're trying
6:56
Speaker 1: to do. Because I can tell everybody all the pictures
6:58
Speaker 1: to tasteful, all the pictures tasteful, the all professional. But
7:01
Speaker 1: there what is what it's done for me as a
7:02
Speaker 1: person who doesn't have a tattoo is like and a
7:05
Speaker 1: guy who you know, I remember when when it was created,
7:08
Speaker 1: an exact Steve Talk show which somebody came up with
7:10
Speaker 1: a tattoo were called car washing. We had to cover
7:12
Speaker 1: those up. And what you've done is normalized the process
7:17
Speaker 1: and you and other people now know, you know, we
7:18
Speaker 1: know it's a it's a big world of people out
7:20
Speaker 1: there who own TV that uh with tattoos. But but
7:24
Speaker 1: seeing you an attractive person has allowed people to understand
7:28
Speaker 1: that there is value, there's artwork. That's what that's what really,
7:31
Speaker 1: that's what it attracts me, is like you are a
7:33
Speaker 1: walking piece of art. Thank you so much. I appreciate that.
7:39
Speaker 1: And it's and it's really that's a that's an amazing
7:45
Speaker 1: thing to say that, did you you? You you are
7:48
Speaker 1: a walking piece of piece of art that of course
7:50
Speaker 1: cannot be bought, but can't be sponsored for commercial in
7:54
Speaker 1: those And that's that's beautiful because reason I enjoyed talking
8:00
Speaker 1: to you is that cat tattism. Because I just watched
8:04
Speaker 1: your our conversation. I remember when we first started. You know,
8:07
Speaker 1: I can tell you our first conversation. You're trying to
8:10
Speaker 1: find who you are, you know, and you you know
8:12
Speaker 1: you you walked away from the TV show and you
8:15
Speaker 1: didn't you didn't know what the future help. But you
8:18
Speaker 1: were strong and saying I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna
8:20
Speaker 1: be special. And then when you came on the show
8:22
Speaker 1: last year, I could tell it when you when you
8:24
Speaker 1: opened the Tattoos Studio and Beverly Hills, your energy was
8:28
Speaker 1: way up because you really started focusing on and then
8:31
Speaker 1: this whole year just watching you on social media, just
8:33
Speaker 1: watching you your personal growth, your physical growth. You know,
8:36
Speaker 1: just now sky's the limit now for you. You know that, right?
8:42
Speaker 1: Thank you? I appreciate that. Yes, that that's absolutely So
8:47
Speaker 1: let's talk about some stuff that's going on that they
8:49
Speaker 1: sent to me. Okay. Cat has been invited by the
8:51
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association to this year's Super Bowl in Miami, Florida.
8:56
Speaker 1: Cat would design, create Super Bowl and inspired artwork, and
8:59
Speaker 1: lead the annual National Football League of Players Association Painting
9:03
Speaker 1: with the Pros event at the local Miami Dade County
9:06
Speaker 1: school this year. The school is Carol's City Senior High
9:10
Speaker 1: School that you guys are gonna be How did that happen?
9:12
Speaker 1: How did you How did that come about? And what
9:16
Speaker 1: were your thoughts? Did you? Were you involved and saying
9:18
Speaker 1: this this is the actual concept of what you wanted
9:21
Speaker 1: to present at the school? Um? Yeah, this is UM.
9:26
Speaker 1: So this will be the third time, um, the third
9:30
Speaker 1: annual Super Bowl that I've worked with the Players Associations.
9:35
Speaker 1: So I was connected with them about three years ago
9:37
Speaker 1: and we did the first I forgot how it happened,
9:41
Speaker 1: but I met um Carol, she's UM one of the
9:43
Speaker 1: leaden ladies of the association, and um, they partnered with
9:47
Speaker 1: me and they wanted me to design the painting. And
9:50
Speaker 1: back then it was in Minnesota, so you started out Nicole,
9:53
Speaker 1: that's extreme. Now Minnesota, Miami, that's extreme. Now that's extreme,
9:58
Speaker 1: so extreme, my god. And it was so cold that
10:01
Speaker 1: the whole time. And I was born in Minnesota, so
10:04
Speaker 1: I know all about that code, you know, I'm from
10:07
Speaker 1: Chicago to so um, it was a freezing cold. We
10:10
Speaker 1: did what we had to do. We get the paintings
10:11
Speaker 1: with the high school. We went to the events, but
10:13
Speaker 1: other than that, we did not leave that hotel room
10:16
Speaker 1: like we were. It was freezing, but that was an
10:19
Speaker 1: experience and it was just so great to be able
10:21
Speaker 1: to get in there and really do hands on things.
10:25
Speaker 1: Um with high school. I actually, you know, we talked
10:27
Speaker 1: about it, but initially I was going to be a
10:29
Speaker 1: high school math teacher, so I obviously took a different
10:33
Speaker 1: career path. But any time that I can, you know,
10:36
Speaker 1: be back in that environment of being hands on and
10:40
Speaker 1: you know, impacting somebody at such a young age where
10:43
Speaker 1: you can really like make a difference in their future,
10:46
Speaker 1: that is what really liked, what thrills me, so, um,
10:51
Speaker 1: I'm blessed, like Minnesota was Um. The first time it
10:54
Speaker 1: was so amazing, and then they asked me back a
10:56
Speaker 1: second time when it was in Atlanta, also amazing. That
11:00
Speaker 1: time it was at Booker T. Washington High School and
11:02
Speaker 1: those kids were so talented, like um they did, the
11:06
Speaker 1: band came through and um, we just painted together. That
11:10
Speaker 1: one was amazing. So I'm really really excited for uh
11:14
Speaker 1: this one. This one was gonna be Miami. I'm sure
11:16
Speaker 1: the weather is gonna be nice. I finished my artwork
11:19
Speaker 1: that I submitted for the high school that we're all
11:22
Speaker 1: going to be painting. I kept it real, seeing it
11:24
Speaker 1: real beach vibe Miami, beach vivee. So um, it was
11:29
Speaker 1: very Um. This painting that I designed was inspired by
11:33
Speaker 1: the whole Miami art scene, so I got to get really,
11:35
Speaker 1: really really creative with it. You know, art basils in
11:38
Speaker 1: Miami every December. So I think that, um, this time
11:43
Speaker 1: it is just gonna be I'm so exciting. I like
11:48
Speaker 1: this conversation because it just shows that you know how
11:51
Speaker 1: the diversity of your life, your personality, you'll give back
11:54
Speaker 1: and because you know that's that's what connected us in
11:56
Speaker 1: our first interview because my degree is in mathematics and
11:59
Speaker 1: you studied math, studied math, and that was always our connection,
12:02
Speaker 1: uh down in Missouri. And so now but again I
12:06
Speaker 1: always tell people, because that's your direction on me, that
12:08
Speaker 1: has to be your final goal. And that's the purpose
12:11
Speaker 1: of money making conversations to tell that story. We're gonna
12:13
Speaker 1: be back with more in our next break with cat Tap.
12:15
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about now I hear something about a
12:17
Speaker 1: new reality shows that. Okay, cool, We're gonna talk about that.
12:22
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that when we come back. And also,
12:24
Speaker 1: you know, I can kind of be mad at you
12:26
Speaker 1: because you was in Atlanta and didn't call your ball,
12:28
Speaker 1: you know. Then then then the d M, the direct
12:30
Speaker 1: message you or something like that you up there freezing
12:32
Speaker 1: your tattoos in Minnesota, will probably ask it for a cope.
12:35
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more money making conversations. She's
12:38
Speaker 1: here tattoo artists, business owner, painter, philanthropists, social media influencer,
12:42
Speaker 1: a person I've watched grow A first thing I want
12:44
Speaker 1: to call a friend. Um as she as she learns
12:48
Speaker 1: about herself, I think that when I look at my life,
12:50
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to my friends, uh, and
12:53
Speaker 1: some of our co workers and people are employed, just
12:55
Speaker 1: telling them that, you know, there's no set time when
12:58
Speaker 1: you realize that, hey, I can be and I can
13:00
Speaker 1: push myself forward and I can stand for my brand,
13:04
Speaker 1: stand for what I believe because there are so many
13:06
Speaker 1: people out there. And I will tell you just because
13:08
Speaker 1: your your relatives love you don't mean they give you
13:11
Speaker 1: the best advice. And so when I say that you
13:14
Speaker 1: know cat about you? You know, like I said, you
13:18
Speaker 1: was going to school major in the math, and we
13:20
Speaker 1: we joke about how you started uh tattooing in college?
13:25
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you know, just do just let
13:27
Speaker 1: you do it and it came out perfect and then
13:30
Speaker 1: it just and then then the Chicago show and then
13:34
Speaker 1: that then then the transition from that. What made what
13:37
Speaker 1: what makes you believe in Cat Cat the brand? You know,
13:41
Speaker 1: your brand? What makes you believe in your brand? Um?
13:45
Speaker 1: You know, that's a great question. I think that UM.
13:50
Speaker 1: I guess it does always start with UM at home,
13:54
Speaker 1: like with what's your family? You know, in your support system.
13:57
Speaker 1: I can't say that I would have believed in myself
14:01
Speaker 1: as much if I had a family, you know who
14:04
Speaker 1: was like knocking me down or not believing me. But
14:07
Speaker 1: even when I was in that hardest one of the
14:09
Speaker 1: hardest transitions in my life, dropping out of school, to
14:13
Speaker 1: have that support, um from my family, you know, believing
14:16
Speaker 1: in my dream and just always constantly pushing me. And
14:19
Speaker 1: I remember my brother, uh, you know, going to the
14:22
Speaker 1: library and running me books on tattooing and just constantly
14:25
Speaker 1: pushing me and pushing me. So it's it's just always
14:28
Speaker 1: been instilled in me that that I can do it.
14:30
Speaker 1: It was never a doubt in my mind that I
14:33
Speaker 1: can make it. UM. So I think it's just that
14:37
Speaker 1: that resilience, that belief in yourself, that um that keeps
14:42
Speaker 1: me just pushing and always just striving to be great.
14:46
Speaker 1: You know this is really interesting because of the fact
14:48
Speaker 1: that you know, I I'm always finding my voice. I'm
14:52
Speaker 1: always trying to because you know where I can war
14:53
Speaker 1: winning baker managed talent, I produce TV shows, I'll produce
14:59
Speaker 1: live advance, and so it's always trying to figure out, Okay,
15:03
Speaker 1: who is Roshan McDonald. And so I asked you this question,
15:08
Speaker 1: who is Catach? Who is Katrina Jackson? Um? You know what,
15:14
Speaker 1: It's funny because I just did a post about this, right, Um,
15:18
Speaker 1: about how this this last year has like turned me
15:22
Speaker 1: into a businesswoman, Like I have to handle my business,
15:25
Speaker 1: I have so many responsibilities. But what he's gotten me
15:29
Speaker 1: to where I am is the little kid in me,
15:32
Speaker 1: like that that creative spirit that um, that girl that
15:37
Speaker 1: just can feel like a feeling, you know, like that
15:40
Speaker 1: that instinct is you know, like the Holy Spirit like
15:43
Speaker 1: talking to you. So I think that, Um, I'm an
15:45
Speaker 1: artist at hard I'm a hard worker. I'm loving you
15:50
Speaker 1: know girl, Um just yeah, you know, and and and
15:57
Speaker 1: I'd say that because of the fact that you are,
16:00
Speaker 1: you know, and everything I say to you, cat is
16:03
Speaker 1: complimentary because I get to see so many different sides
16:07
Speaker 1: of you, and I get to see you know, you know,
16:09
Speaker 1: you say you're a beautiful young lady, and then you know,
16:11
Speaker 1: and and you are fighting the world where when you're
16:14
Speaker 1: walking a room because you're beauty, people can kind of
16:16
Speaker 1: insultantly think that that's all you are. And you have
16:19
Speaker 1: to fight through that as a businesswoman, you know, and
16:22
Speaker 1: then or somebody want to mediately date you or try
16:25
Speaker 1: to get with you, you gotta fight through that, you know,
16:28
Speaker 1: And that's that's insulting because of the fact that you
16:31
Speaker 1: are a businesswoman, like you said, and you're and you
16:34
Speaker 1: have a brand that you're protecting, that you're growing and
16:37
Speaker 1: needs to be respected. And then to say that you're
16:40
Speaker 1: tying yourself with the NFL just the third year. That
16:44
Speaker 1: is important, my friend, that you don't walk away and

Speaker 1: you don't you don't, you don't lowly promote that this
16:50

16:58
Speaker 1: all sexual genders, you know, or every black, white, Hispanic,
17:02
Speaker 1: you know, everybody watches football. And to say that you
17:04
Speaker 1: are in their third year, promote that don't don't sit
17:08
Speaker 1: on that that's powerful. And the fact that you're going
17:10
Speaker 1: back to change the lines of kids. Promote that that's
17:14
Speaker 1: a powerful moment in your life because of the fact
17:16
Speaker 1: that your brand, it's very special. So now you're gonna
17:20
Speaker 1: take that brand, take another and bet on yourself again.

17:57
Speaker 1: This is what I created, money making conversation. It's a mentorship.
18:00
Speaker 1: I can't touch everybody, but I do touch the people
18:02
Speaker 1: who want to listen to what I got to say,
18:04
Speaker 1: and what I had to say works and you win
18:07
Speaker 1: with it. So tell us about this show, yea. So,
18:09
Speaker 1: so I'm looking to expand Enigma. The first year in
18:13
Speaker 1: Los Angeles has been great, and um, I just feel
18:16
Speaker 1: that Las Vegas would be the perfect city to go to.
18:19
Speaker 1: So we're working on opening up a shop in one
18:22
Speaker 1: of the luxury hotels in Las Vegas while documenting um,
18:27
Speaker 1: the struggles and the the successes of being just a
18:32
Speaker 1: young black woman business owner. I'm looking to expand and
18:36
Speaker 1: just really being transparent and showing UM from start to finish.
18:41
Speaker 1: You know, So I walked away from Black in Chicago.
18:45
Speaker 1: I opened up you know, Enigma Beverly Hills on my own,
18:48
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, people got to see a little
18:51
Speaker 1: bit of it on social media and where I put
18:53
Speaker 1: out there, but Vegas, it's time to go back to
18:56
Speaker 1: the TV screen. So we're looking to UM, you know,
18:59
Speaker 1: document the entire process show people. We don't want to
19:02
Speaker 1: hide anything. We want people to see UM from start
19:05
Speaker 1: to finish, you know, and really take people along on
19:07
Speaker 1: the journey UM of making this dream come true. So
19:11
Speaker 1: let me ask you. The show has been picked up
19:12
Speaker 1: on the network. We're working with different production companies now,
19:16
Speaker 1: so it was a bit of a hum a process
19:20
Speaker 1: getting completely released from block in Chicago and now we're
19:25
Speaker 1: in talkic other companies. Yeah, that's why didn't mess with
19:27
Speaker 1: you because I know, you know, because you're still in
19:29
Speaker 1: the same plane. You're competing now, you know. So that's yeah,
19:32
Speaker 1: that's you know, they who they let go. It's really
19:35
Speaker 1: interesting you sign these contracts, you know, they put a
19:37
Speaker 1: time a time limit on you, or they say you
19:41
Speaker 1: can't you do TV. You do sports, you know you do,
19:45
Speaker 1: but you can't do a tattoo show and right right right,
19:48
Speaker 1: And it's really really crazy because that's why they hired you,
19:52
Speaker 1: that's what brought you off. But then there stop you
19:54
Speaker 1: from making money off your livelihood. So watching these contracts
19:57
Speaker 1: are really important, and being able to get yourself out
20:00
Speaker 1: of them is equally important because in the end, you know,
20:03
Speaker 1: God gave you this talent, they hired, they benefited. I'm
20:07
Speaker 1: just talking to everybody in general because it's I've seen
20:10
Speaker 1: many contracts like this, and I have many contracts conversations
20:13
Speaker 1: with talent who who just excited to get into business,
20:16
Speaker 1: so they signed these contracts not looking at the fine details.
20:19
Speaker 1: Did really want to pay money for? A lawyer? Trusted
20:22
Speaker 1: the person sit across the other table, other side of
20:24
Speaker 1: the table, not realizing that person just wanted to get
20:26
Speaker 1: something to benefit them personally, and use your talent to
20:30
Speaker 1: benefit them personally. And so now now you you were
20:33
Speaker 1: the production company, you're out there documenting what is when
20:36
Speaker 1: you I like the fact that you're saying you really
20:39
Speaker 1: want to show the the painful side of the growth side,
20:43
Speaker 1: because I remember when I opened my comedy club and
20:46
Speaker 1: in Houston, Texas, hip hop common stuff. Lawd knows. I
20:49
Speaker 1: had the camera follow me around because I didn't know nothing.
20:52
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to hire people, how hired family
20:54
Speaker 1: members who didn't want to work. You know, I did
20:56
Speaker 1: all the stakes. And so now you're going to Las Vegas.
21:00
Speaker 1: Now that's already the title sense city. How do you
21:04
Speaker 1: control your brand? Because now we're talking about your brand now, Catta,
21:08
Speaker 1: you know you protected it, You've grown it in Beverly Hills.
21:11
Speaker 1: Now you're going to Las Vegas. I love that you're
21:13
Speaker 1: saying you're going into a luxury spot, hotel spot, which
21:16
Speaker 1: I think it's very smart. What's the future, what's the future. Well,
21:21
Speaker 1: why do you want to get back When I say
21:23
Speaker 1: what the future? Why do you want to get back
21:25
Speaker 1: on tv UM? Because I think that I can have
21:30
Speaker 1: an impact. Um One, I enjoy it, but to UM,
21:35
Speaker 1: I'm very relatable. I'm super relatable. And the the reaction
21:42
Speaker 1: and the response that I get from the viewers, my
21:45
Speaker 1: viewers and my following, and the feedback that they give
21:49
Speaker 1: me about how me being that transparent helps them it,
21:54
Speaker 1: that's another thing that's just you know, I like because
21:57
Speaker 1: you don't have that many people who are that relatable
22:02
Speaker 1: and also willing to be super transparent, you know. And
22:06
Speaker 1: I feel like the world needs that. I feel like
22:07
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry and television cable needs that. You know,
22:11
Speaker 1: I'm a young woman out here trying to get it.
22:13
Speaker 1: You know what I'm single, Um, you know what I mean,
22:16
