  Speaker 1: I'm glad to be with you. Good, good, Well, I've
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to tell you something. You know the life that I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate about you, Melody? You know? Uh? And is
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that you? For some interviewed you on a power couple series.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: There was always a desire to be to build your brand,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm seeing it evolved. Tell us the steps that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you put in place to make this happen? You know
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: what I will tell you this when it comes to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: brand building, you know, I've been working on that for
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: some years now, um, and what I've learned, I've had
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: some ups and downs, you know, some trial and errors
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: when it's come to that. But what I've learned is
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that it's important to have a team, right, a team
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of people who first of all, believe in you. Because
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: when somebody believes in you, then they're willing to put
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in as much work as you to make sure you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: get to where you're trying to go. So you have
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to find people who believe in you, who believe in
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to do, um, and just surrounding yourself
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: with people who are like minded. Um. You know, recently
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: on last Saturday's episode, you guys got to see our team, right,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and so on one side of the table you had
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: three people from l A who are part of our
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: branding team. And on another side of the table, you
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: had Alabama natives who are based right here out of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Birmingham and they're part of our branding team. So we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: have people, you know, who believe in us, who who's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: worked with us for a while now and who are
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: pushing forward to make sure that we get to the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: girls who we're trying to get too. So when it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: comes to branding UM, it's all about having the right
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: team and the right people in your corner. Hands down.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We know, like that's important because like my name is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: on the usual Rashan Rashan McDonald's my name. And so
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: when when people said, you know, always always get a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: kick out of it because of the fact that that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: means that my message is getting out there about me.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: But more importantly, when you say you have a team
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in l a which I love, and then you have
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a team in Alabama, which means that that keeps it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: more authentic because they kind of know the lifestyle. Because
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: everybody I hate when people come in the room and go,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I know, you know you don't you just seen me
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on TV Fact fact, and like you're saying, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: those the people who understand those grass roots who understand
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Alabama history, Alabama heritage, and how you can pull those
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: things in together. And then some of my team, like
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I said, they're you know, right from Birmingham. So in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: terms of that whole piece of history when it comes
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to the the civil rights, when it comes to UM, Birmingham, Staffel,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: UM and all of that and I'm being able to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: find ways to pull me in with that. I mean,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it's been amazing. So I'm so thankful. I thank God
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: every day for the amazing people he's put around me.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: For sure. Now let's talk about that, because you said
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: something interesting. This is I'm really you know something. I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: love talking to you because the energy is there and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I know you're hidden in the direction that you have
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a plan for. Like you said, Richean, this didn't start
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: with with with this this reality show. I was hitting
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: down this direction all along, and I just this is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: really accelerated it absolutely absolutely. So what is your brain?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: What brand are you trying to design? Like I said earlier,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: let me just say what I said. I said the wife,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: mother for entrepreneur, uh, master classes on Instagram and clown
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: social media influencer. What is your brain? If you're trying
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to be yes and all of that is a part
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of my brand. You know who I am, what I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: pushed for. What I advocate for, UM being a mom,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: being a wife, being UM still being able to be
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a boss and at the same time empowering others UM
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: specifically for me as women, UM finding ways to empower
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: others so you know, I have my master class that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I do where I'm actually right now doing live series
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: where I'm getting free knowledge and free information by bringing
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: on guests who've reached certain amounts of success and their
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: careers and their lives. Then of course i have my
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: master class with Melody Hope Preservation Academy where I'm helping
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: people get into this multibillion dollar industry called property preservation.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So I have and it mostly consistent women. So I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: have women who I've helped in terms of getting their
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: e I N setting up lcs, getting business checking accounts,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and then ultimately getting contacts and getting work orders that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: they're able to complete and make money. So um, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's one of those things where for me, my brand
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: consists of you know, business. I'm a home builder, so
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: being a being in business, but also being a wife,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: being a mom, and also helping others and bring them
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: along on that journey. Now, this is really important that
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: we're the reason I wanted to bring on the show
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: because we all know TV. They get in the editing room,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they tell a story they want to take off for ratings.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You know, it can it could be annoying, it could
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: be a very annoying to you Saturday night after the air,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So it could be they said, because you know that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: can reflect on what people think. Okay, and live in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the reflection. Okay, you are an attractive or beautiful woman
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and you are in ma. You need to stop, you
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: need to stop. You know you, you know you know
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you got it going on. Four kids, don't look like
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you have one child. I'm gonna stop, stop stop, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: so so and so and then and then the reason
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: when I saw the when I saw the series, the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Master Class series, that's the side that I'm bringing it
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: on the show to talk about, you know, not any
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: any picture because of the fact that you know your
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: your your your attractiveness, and the reality show who you
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: really are can get lost and you're lost in your
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: gain and knowing you is that you are an empowering person.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You bought uplifting people, and you're about allowing women, especially
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: entrepreneur why women an opportunity to be successful? Thank you,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: thank you, And that's important. It's about and that's why
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I wanted to bring your class. So let's talk about
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to the first, you know, fingering their

• 10:13
  Speaker 1: development period of the master class that's on your Instagram account.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely so let me tell you again, this goes back
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to having an amazing team. Right. So, my graphic person
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: who's a partment team has been working with for sometime now.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: You know, he handles my website, handles my flyers, um
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: all of that, and everyone who's around me or works
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: with me knows. Look, I'm not one of those people
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: who feel like I know everything. I make it clear
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to them if y'all have an idea. If you have
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a suggestion or if I'm giving out an idea that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you just think it's crap and no good, like, feel
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: free to talk to me. Like we we just have
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: all of us have that kind of open to me.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You have some people who are in charge who don't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: think anybody can tell them anything, or they don't want
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: anybody to go against what they say. My team knows
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that's not need so they are all very comfortable with
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: sharing idea us with me. Right, So long story short. Um,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: my graphic person, Um, we were working on something that
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: he was like, you know what, he was like, what
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: do you think about? Um? I think it would be
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a good opportunity for you to do something where you're
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: actually doing like a class. So it started from there. Um,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: we went into conversation. Then they go to a what
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: am I an effort in? Well, I'm an expert in
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: what I've been doing the past ten years, what I've
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: been doing the past teen years as being in this
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: what has been a male dominated, extra white male dominated
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: industry for a very long time called property preservation. And
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that's what I've been able to do for ten years.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: That's what allowed me to resign from teaching UM after
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: three years and has ultimately allowed me to be a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: soul entrepreneur UM so as my only source of income.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So I say, so entrepreneurs. So you know, it's one
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of those things where it was like, Okay, that's what
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm an effort in, and that's the game I'm about
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: to teach. So hence came the master Class with Melody
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: or Whole Preservation Academy idea. And so under Master Class
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: with Melody, you have the Whole Preservation Academy, which is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: where I teach about property preservation. I at about fifty
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: students go through my class so far. UM, it has
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: been amazing. They all get a personal touch for me.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I have Zoom meetings. I have one tonight. I have
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Zoom meetings with them on Monday night. UM usually last
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: an hour to an hour and a half. They all
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: get my personal cell numbers, so I'm communicating with them
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: through the week via text, via phone UM. And it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: definitely very personable, very personal, and very one on one.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So I've got about Like I said, I'm on my
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: second class right now, so I've had a total about
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: fifty students go through my class. And then UM I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: decided from there, I wanted to do something UM that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: was kind of more regular and for anybody who's interested
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in anything about business, not just property preservation. So I
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: put together this Instagram Life series. So we've had Mr
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Donahue Baker and Donahue Baker, he was with me last week.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: We discussed UM, you know, different ways to get funding,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: how to own UM multiple he has like over five
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: hundred units that he that he owns, so you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just different ways that you can make money and use
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: money to capitalize and more money UM. Then we've got
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Mr O'Neill Parker who's coming in on tomorrow, twenty six

• 16:54
  Speaker 1: love and marriage Huntsville. That was part of the mission. Okay,

  Speaker 1: that was part of the land. See Love and Marriage
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Huntsville is just part of It's more like, you know,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you you look at your chart and you have all
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: these options of what you can do, and you put
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: this on the sheriff as an opportunity. It happened, and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you're gonna move forward because of the fact that you
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you've told me Richard, when you're not gonna get together,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know there are the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: other options that you want to do besides that. You
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I see talk show and I go, okay, if you're
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: preparing with this Instagram Instagram, people can't find that. But
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you can do this on a YouTube channel and you
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: can build subscribers and then you become a phenomenon. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that's why I want to take that out of I
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: wanted That's what I had to do with my Money
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Making Conversations platform. I was all on social media and
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: then when I opened my Money Making Conversation YouTube channel,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: it really showed me who I was. And because a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: lot of people think I'm a baker. They see all
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: those cakes and everything, but when they go over their
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: money making conversation, that's who I am and they respect that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Now when I see you doing these master classes, if
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you start setting up your YouTube channel, when they go
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: over there, they know that has nothing nothing to do
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: with with with with anything else but making people better,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and especially women of color, they can be better if
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: they follow your advice. And that's why I recommended each
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: one of these classes should be put over there, because
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: what happens is as you start building momentum and YouTube,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: every time you upload a new show, and alert goes
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: out to your fan base that's on YouTube, and you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: should do that. You gotta do that. You gotta do that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: And so this is just a shortly a short five
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: weeks series, right, Um, yes, well it's exactly two weeks,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: so it's not a personal week. I've got two people
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: coming on this week, two people coming on next week,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and then I'm going to launch another series with another,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: um you know, different gas. But I appreciate and I'm
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: thankful for everything you said, and I'll definitely take that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to my team. UM. I do have a YouTube channel already.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I just haven't been uploading this content to it, UM,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate that because that's an amazing idea. UM.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: And I think that one thing I want to her
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: phone that you mentioned was about being able to do
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a lot even though your mom. Um. That's one thing
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to be honest that I want people to know is that,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you know, mom, you can still be an awesome mom
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and still go after your dreams and goes at the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: same time too. Is it gonna be easy? No, it
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: is does make it a little more difficult, but it's possible.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I literally just had my baby in my hand and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: my phone in the other hand, in my laptop sending
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: my lap Yeah, I mean, if you're right. So you know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it's kind of one of those things where you just
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: do what you have to do, UM and make no excuses,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: because there there are no excuses, even with all my kids.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I can remember, um, my first daughter, Mariah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: because we kept her at home for like a year
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: before we actually put her in daycare, and so I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: can remember taking her to the office with me, UM,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: having a playpen. There's an office for her. Like, you
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: just make it happen, you know, you do what you
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: have to do to make it happen. So you know,

• 20:00
  Speaker 1: want you guys to know, like, hey, keep pushing. You

• 20:08
  Speaker 1: let that be an excuse. Figure it out, make it happen.
• 20:12

• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I'm very straightforward. I'm very you know, undest and direct.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And you know, it's one of those things, like you said,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: it's not easy, but it's possible. And of course with God,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: all things are possible. To remind yourself where your strength

• 21:47
  Speaker 1: but I'm telling you what I'm doing, I am generating revenue.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: But you know that's why, that's why it's important Melody

• 22:05
  Speaker 1: is over there just posing and just just leaving people.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Your your engagement and you become a social media for now,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get back to embraced. Don't worry about that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: You know, but but but but embraced is tied to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the brand that you created, especially in social media. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: got the I got the you know, the love and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the Love and Marriage hunt Field Show. But did you
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: expect the engagement and the growth and social media that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you've gotten? Um? I don't feel like I had any
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: expectations when it came to the you know, because I
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't doing it. The things that I've done, I wasn't
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: doing them, um thinking of like, oh is this gonna
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: make me more popular? Of this? I just believe in
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: doing what I feel like it's my purpose and whatever
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: happens happened. So I tell people, I never have been
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: one of the chase for celebrity. However, celebrity lines up
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: with my purpose, then so be it. Um So for me,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: it was always be chasing my division, my purpose, and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: my goals. Um So, definitely that's a plus now that
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I do have. It has allowed me to be able
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: to reach more people, to have a bigger audience, and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: ultimately be able to share my story and my life
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: experiences while encouraging people along the way. That's a major
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: plus for me. But it was never the end goal
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: for me, if that makes sense. Absolutely. What I like
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: about you is that, you know you you learned to pivot.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You see an opportunity, you flesh it out, and you
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you seize it. But he sees with a plan that
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: way that the like you told earlier in the conversation,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you usually limited. H I failed, you know, but I
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: don't let that fair stop me for being successful. I
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: learned from it. So now, so now let's get back
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to Embrace. Because I pulled up the website. See see,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I had to get I got I used to get
• 23:46

  Speaker 1: appreciate you allow me to share you know, my info
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: on your platform. Thank you so much for that. Um.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So really was when I was growing up, I suffered
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: from something called pitty riots is rosation, which is pretty
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: much just a dry rash. So um, you know, it
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: was something I used to complain about and so my
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that's with my great grandmother share with me a secret
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: um of something to use to help me. Um, when
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I would have these breakouts, usually during the fall months
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: with this petty riots is rosation. So what I decided
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to do is, I um wanted to create a skincare
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: line that incorporated that for people who have that kind
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: of an issue or issues with dry skins. So I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: do have and of course I do a line, so
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I'm always having to have my face beat and have
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: makeup on. However, I've always been adamant on making sure
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: or that underneath that that my skin is still glowing,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that my skin is still healthy. Because your skin is
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the largest piece of your body, so you got to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: take care of it. Um. So for me, for me,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I UM just definitely said, you know, I want to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: put these things together along with the things my great
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: grandmother has shared with me and put it into a product.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So I have a cleanser. Um. It's really um, to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: be honest, it's what. It's a everyday regiment that you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: can use as a cleanser, a toner moisturizes than a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: lip primer, which of course you would put your lip
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: primer on before you put on your you know, litt
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: gloss or lipstick or things of that nature. Um. And
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: so that has been amazing. UM. I actually premiered it
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: on the show earlier, refilmed it, I think the first
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: part in the January, right before the pandemic. UM. And
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: then for me being pregnant, of course, when you're pregnant,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you have itchy skin, you have dry skin and things
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: like that. So when I was pregnant, I went ahead
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and got with my chemist, which I'm using a black
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: chemist out of Dallas, Texas who I've worked with. I
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: actually met her through Marquell because she and Martuell went
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to high school together. But she has a very very
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: successful natural hair care line, so I got with her
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and um, we came up together and put this, put
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: my products together, and you know, worked for really almost
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: two years just making sure that it was the way
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I wanted it to be. Two years too, because in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: between of everything else that I'm doing, of course, I'm
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: always doing so many different things. So it was about
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: two years that we put in getting it the way
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I wanted it. Um, Because I'm big on again branding.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Everything reflects my brand, so I gotta make sure everything
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: is top notch. We're not gonna short change things, right, UM.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: So when I was pregnant, I came up with the
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: body lotion, the body oil, and the body but her
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: um and so that's what that's what Embrace currently consists of.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm actually going to be having a live event
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: on social media when I'm actually gonna open the website
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: up for sale, So that's gonna be happening. I was
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: planning to do that by the time the episode aired
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: for the skin care line, but then the pandemic happened,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: so things got pushed back. And you know, and then
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: of course I also have you know, my divorce happening
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: as well. It was one of those things where I
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: just was like, okay, just hold up, let's stop for
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a second. Um, But I'm actually going to have a
• 27:05

  Speaker 1: things are starting to Yep, things are starting to move
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit better with COVID in terms of packaging

  Speaker 1: and things like that, because of course most of the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: package and as you know, come from China or at
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: least pieces of it, and so it's just a big thing.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: And I didn't want to be honest, I'm kind of picky,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: like I could have changed up. To be honest, I
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: should have changed up my package in and did a
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: different but I'm like, no, I want exactly the way
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I wanted and that's just what it is. Um So,

• 30:53
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to do to motivate the community to vote.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Oh man, let me tell you, first of all, I
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: think that this is amazing. I mean, I shared this
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: on an interview the other day. I still remember when
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Obama got elected and how excited I felt, and I
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: felt like, wow, I can't do anything despite the color
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of my skin. I remember being even more excited when
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: he got re elected, saying though, waiting for them both
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and valance and stuff to come on in and look
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: with those numbers gonna be like and he won again
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: and it was like, oh my gosh, right, that whole
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: excitement and that feeling that a piece of inspiration and encouragement.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: It was just so um, that's the same way I
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: feel right now, like I feel like and this time
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: because it's a woman, so even more so. You know,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: we're spending so much time trying to break that glass feeling,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: trying to remove certain barriers, and you know, first to
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: have for us to have a black woman who has
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to have the second highest position in this nation,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I think that is what's up, and that is amazing, UM,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: you know, sharing and so what I'm doing, I have
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: certain things that I'm working on. One of them, UM,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and you guys to be seeing that soon. I can't
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: get too much information, but one thing that I'm doing,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: I'm actually partnering with the city UM here in Alabama
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: in terms of UM increasing the census registration and working
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to get people out to vote and working to have
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: people making sure they're filling out this sensus so we
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: don't lose seats, you know, UM. And it's just I
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: think all of us have to be willing to do
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: our part, especially if you've been blessed with a platform,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you have to be willing to do your part um
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the political piece as well. So
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: those are things I've worked on. I work on a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff behind closed doors that people don't see

• 32:35
