• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I appreciated that. Well, you deserve it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You've had you. Here's a great thing about you is
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that uh you know, you know you started at a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: young age. I was saying, can we say a child Stark?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Can we say that a team Stark? What can we
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: say that? Yeah? I was fourteen going on fifteen when
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I first got my first record deal at Sony. Yeah. Right,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And so that transition to adulthood doesn't work for a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: lot of people. It doesn't work. How did you manage
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that transition? Because we got a lot of things we
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: want to talk about, but also on this show, I'd
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: like to slow down so people can understand that it's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: not a magic trick. It's not you walk out in
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Hollywood somebody just tapped you on the shoulder, or that
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: like your fame happened overnight. There's a journey to you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And I love the fact that you're not satisfied with
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: your current fame. You know, you're planning for the future.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But you got that first break. How did that happen?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And then also how did you because there was some
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: dips there, there were some dips, and then we kept
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you motivated. Let's talk. I think Number one, I really
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: do believe in I heard Oprah say once that there
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is no such thing as luck, and it is really
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: just preparation, preparation meeting opportunity. And my husband and I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: actually just did Carnegie Hall this past Saturday. It was
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: like a major bucket list for us to perform there,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and um, for us, He said that his school teacher
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: would always sound like this was a thing like how
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: do you get to Carnegie Hall? And the answer was practice, practice, practice,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But UM, I really do feel that if you have
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a goal in your life, I think there's even the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: book that says, how many hours is it? Uh ten
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: thousand hours? You know, to actually that you have to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: put into something until you can actually say you're an
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: expert at it or that you're even good at it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And I really can say that I put in those
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: hours as a young girl for acting and singing and performing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It was something that I really love to do. So
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: even though this is a crazy story, I was prepared
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: when the opportunity UH presented itself, which was I had
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: decided that because I didn't know anybody famous, I had
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: no connections to the industry, I didn't even know where
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to begin, or how someone gets an audition, or any
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of those things that grew up in the projects in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the lower said in Manhattan, um very humble beginnings, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: um I thought, okay, I don't even have enough money
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to put together a portfolio to even audition for a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Juilliard or or those kind of um school. So I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: was like, you know what I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: go into the health professions field. And we actually got
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: into a school uh here, the Stuyvesant Building Health Health
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Professions and Human Services, and my second year there they
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: had to do internships. So I was just filing some
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: boxes and somebody walked in. I also believe in destiny
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and that God has a plan and a purpose for
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: your life, so I think that definitely plays into it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: But a man walked in on some crutches, and I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: guess he was getting some something done at the hospital.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And he literally turned to me and said, yo, ma,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you sing. I don't know if I was humming by
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: by the filing cabinet, but he's like, yo, moh, do
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you sing? And I was like, yes, would you like
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to hear a song in Spanish? I got a sound batoon,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a gospel song or a pop song? What do you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: want to hear? But that's that I was ready. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: was ready. I was prepared, and um, he actually was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a person that got me in touch for my first audition,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: which was for my first group, three l W. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you're like, what the heck, what a random story. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I was prepared. I not only was prepared for that moment,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: but when I when I went into the audition, there
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: were tons of girls. They're auditioning for this manager who
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: at the time had discovered C. C. Peniston and the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: singer Joe and I was ready, not only with a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: song in English, but a song in Spanish. I was like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: any opportunity I was prepared for. So that's kind of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: how I got my starting from three l W then
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: got into Cheetah Girls. From Cheetah Girls. Um, that's kind
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of where, like you said, it was like, well, now
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: what happens? How do you transition from being a kid tween?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Uh start to now preparing for what I wanted to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: do for the future. You don't forget that your role model,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I think for me, the most important thing
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: with that transition was that it had to be organic,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and I think that that's where a lot of people
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: go wrong in their minds. They're like Okay, I'm done
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: with Disney Channel and now I'm gonna go show people
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that I'm gonna that I'm a grown up. But that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: isn't actually how the transition in real life happens. We
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: don't actually go from being teenagers to now suddenly we've
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: got adulthood and we're adult ng and we've got this down.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really work that way, and for me, it
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: was important to show that transition into um be honest
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: about that. From I was like, okay, well, also, being
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: strategic and having a plan is super important. I always
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: tell people when you're mapping out your business or what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it is you're gonna do, you've got to have somewhat
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of a plan. And my plan was thinking, okay, well,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: after people watch the Disney Channel, where do they go
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: from there? Maybe MTV? And that was my next step.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I then ended up hosting on MTV, and for a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: while there I was kind of in the space of, well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I want to be the one in being interviewed, not
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: interviewing people, And I even went through that weird struggle
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of like, why do people keep calling me as like
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a behind like a like a personality and on air
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: personality I would get calls from Extra. I guess people
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: had seen what I did on MTV and they were like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Extra was calling for me to do red carpet interviews.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And I would be like, but but I want to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: be on the red carpet. I don't want to be
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: interviewing people on that. And you can even fight your
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: own destiny and think, well, this is not what I want,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: but God somehow just kept presenting these opportunities to do
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: interviews Entertainment Tonight. Then I got a call that's like, well,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they're doing this talk show they're putting together of you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the first of its kind, women
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of color, a little bit of a younger demographic, a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: little bit more hip, uh more pop culture conversations. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, you know what, let me just
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: go for it. I don't really know that this is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: necessarily my plan. I love that mean that I've seen
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: on Instagram that's like how people think you get successful
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: versus how it really happened. And people think it's this
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: straight line from my plan from point A to point B,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and when it really is like a zig zag hot mess,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And that really is how it's been for me. I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: never sought out our plan to become a talk show host,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: but the opportunity kept presenting itself, and I'm like, God,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: clearly you have a plan that I'm not aware of.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But here we go. And I always tell my husband
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the main thing is to go where the love is.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The thing about it that stands out consistently is that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: when God calls you ready h And that's that's the key.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And you're not in your fearless And that's because I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: fearless is derived through preparation. Like I said, when you
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: say can you think yes, yes, I could say, oh
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: what English or Spanish? When you and an opportunity to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: interview somebody, even though in your mind to a lot
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: of people shut down blessings because that's not what I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: want exactly the way You're like, what do you mean
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be interviewing um? You know I want
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to be her. I want to be him. Oh oh exactly,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I want to be the one being interviewed. Oh you're
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: gonna interview Miley Cyrus. Okay, but but I was on
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Disney Channel too. Why isn't she interviewing me? You don't
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: get what I mean, Like your ego can get in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the way of that. You've got to put that aside
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and recognize that it's a blessing, it's a if it's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: not the door, maybe it's the window that's gonna lead
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to the next place you get to. And I really
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: had to recognize that. I recognize, Okay, I never would
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: have thought, Wow, now I'm in any winning talk show
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: host from something as simple as interviewing people on the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: red carpet. That really did open those opportunities for me.

  Speaker 1: you listen to their interview, listen to their stories, you
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: tell them that when I try to get out of
• 10:22

• 10:25
  Speaker 1: when the opportunity presents some the selves present themselves to you,

  Speaker 1: leap forward. Don't let fear stop you, don't let the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: unknown stop You allow the opportunity to to consume you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and feel jaw in that consumption. On the phone with Adrian,

  Speaker 1: I've seen I shows I've seen. I've seen holiday party decore.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I love the one with Queue and there with Mom
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: because you and they were Mama. I've seen that one
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and the Bajama Party, which I think had The one
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: had the biggest numbers was the beach House tool. If
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: everybody will know your business, everybody won't know your business.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: They all want to walk through my house. They walked
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: through my husband. I know. My husband likes to say,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know that I was the Latino Martha Stewart, So
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: he would always tell me that, and I finally got approached.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of people would see things that I was
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: doing in my house, whether it was on Instagram. I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: loved putting floral arrangements together or decorated or Uh. We
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: would always talk about on the reel that I throw
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a good party. I'm like, I love a good fiesta.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So I was approached to work with an incredible company
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: called King Community, who was doing something really awesome. Obviously,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: everybody knew about YouTubers now becoming celebrities, and this was
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a real thing. You know. You even read about the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: young kid that I think is like four years old
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and he's made ridiculous billions of dollars millions and he's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: got two billion and followers on on YouTube. Yeah, but
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it's things like that that they were really tapping into
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and recognizing, Wow, this digital world is exploding. So instead
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of taking YouTube people that were undiscovered and found on YouTube,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he was like, why can't we take go the opposite
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: direction and take celebrities and put them on YouTube? And
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I was, Uh, they actually reached out to me, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this is an amazing opportunity,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and I again recognize that the world is going digital. Uh.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It's sadly a lot of the people that are in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: my generation and these new upcoming millennials they don't even
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: have televisions anymore at this point, you know, they're watching
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: everything on their phones. It's all Apple TV or Netflix.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: They have all of these um digital streaming UH platforms instead.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So I was like, oh my gosh, it's this holy
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: new way to read. Even like my litt kids, I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: call them, they're my step kids, but I call them
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: my lit kids. I was watching that they only were
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: watching deep on YouTube and we're obsessing about YouTubers, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, what is this? And so to be
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: able to get be given that opportunity was so awesome.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And we called the show All Things Adrian because we
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: wanted it to be limitless. Were like it wasn't limited
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to one thing or the other, but that I literally
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: could do anything on the channel. And it really has
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: been awesome to see the subscribers grow, to really see
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the impact that it has, and um, I've learned so
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: much simple things from the fact that now you can
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: click on a product that I'm using when I'm doing
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a makeup tutorial and you can buy it at my
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: store right then and there there's the description line underneath
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that can lead you straight to you know, renting my
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: maligu vacation home. There is so many new things that
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: can be done digitally with YouTube, and also we do
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: it on Facebook as well, which is just so awesome
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that that really is the new platform for this new generation.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Really is you know the thing that this is what
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I love talking about talking to you and listening to you.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Multiple streams of income that that that just pops out,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that pops out. And as an entrepreneur, as an entrepreneur,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: when I look at these things, a lot of people
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: say they don't have time. How do you marry your success?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Because we're gonna talk about the jewelry line. You know,

• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a fantastic wife, you know what I'm saying. We're talking
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: about Also you still perform all these things mean there
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: has to be a balance. And I'm gonna tell you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: something aging I failed. I failed at it and I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and I admire the fact that you figured it out.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: How did you figure out? How did you figure out
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that balance was necessary for you to be successful? Well,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I'm literally sitting right now in workout close in New
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: York City at a hotel. My husband is sitting right
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: next to me. He's handling work on his phone and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get ready to go to the gym in
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a second. But I think it really is number one
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: for me. My family comes first and I recognize that,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and it's about working smarter, not working harder. And that
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: was the first thing that my husband and I spoke
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: about with what what was that we wanted for our future.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: He's accomplished so much in his career and you know,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: somebody may look at mine and be like, oh, you're
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: set as well, But for me, it's more so the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: idea of in these next coming years, what am I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: gonna do that is going to sustain not just myself
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: but my family, my legacy, and how can I work
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: smarter versus working harder? So something as simple as choosing
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to do all things Adrian, I shoot it in my house.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: What does that allow That allows for me to be home,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: That allows for me to hang out with my husband
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in between takes, That allows for me to um decide
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to be one number one, to be authentic because I'm
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: actually in my home, but to to allow um them
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to be a part of my world versus me having
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to leave my home and do things. So that's one
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: way I think that's just awesome and it actually helps
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: uh for to see into my real life and that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in itself helps my my brand. So you were so
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you would approach your approach to do the YouTube show
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: okay over had an option option whether or not I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: would want to rent another place to shoot it, or
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I come do it in my house. Keep it real,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: keep it real. He's he's a great thing about that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You know she was offered a singing opportunity. You know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it's it's an aura of good about you that I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: feel that we needed. We need to back up and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: mention because some people are n't approachable. I know some
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: people would tell me we should you man, there, look, man,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I just got one of the faces if if I'm not,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: if I'm not, if I'm been sitting on what people thinking. Boy,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he's been like going and talking Rochelle. He don't look
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: like he having a good day, you know what I'm saying.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And so so you have first of all in the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: approachable look and then when and then when you when
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you approached, you ready, you know it's not you know
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you you're ready to count down the opportunity like you
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: offered that the real you know your audition for that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: The YouTube show O your audition for that, and in
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the audition they gave it to you because they want
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to do celebrities versus are no talents. Is hey, let's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: make it work. Let's do it backwards. Let's take a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: star and then build her brand and you go, that's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: what I want to phob and put her on YouTube. Yeah,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: there were futubers that were trying to get to TV,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: but they didn't realize that the future is is digital networking.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And I think again, it is about saying yes, saying
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: yes to the opportunities, not being afraid, being fearless, being approachable.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: All of those things definitely go into making a great
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: business venture. But I also think you said making the time.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I truly believe that if you want to do something,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: you will find the time to make it happen. But
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: for me, the best way to be able to do
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: all these things is to create a brand. Like I'm
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: looking towards the future and actually starting a family with
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: my husband as well, you know, growing our family, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what can I do? What is the space
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that I can enter in that allows me to be
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: creative still to do the things that I love to do,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: but at the same time involved my family so that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I can spend more time with them. I want my
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: audience that you know, if it maybe the next thing
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: is you know, doing something that is family based, that
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: is home based. That's what all things Adrian is about.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: And I love that I can share my family and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: my home. Walt cameras are running and that helps me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Now where the jewelry line steps in was that had
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: always been a dream for me. Again, that incorporates my
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: family because it is I launched the jewelry line. It's
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: called x I x I and it launched on eleven eleven,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: which is what the Roman numerals stand for. And um,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: my first collection from the line was called Faith and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: by Media and that in itself again celebrates my faith,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: It celebrates my family. And we created replicas of the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: pieces that were given to me as a child, that
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: were hand down to me from praying hands, necklaces and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: uh these pendants and cross earrings and this kind of
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the things that I grew up wearing. I grew up,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: like I said, in the Lower East Side. There's like
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: tons of Julie stores on the Lancey Street and it
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: really reflects who I am my upbringing, and that's kind
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: of the brand and building that and again that allows
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: me to still be a great wife, a great lit
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: mom to my my lit kids and and and really
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: make it about a family. Even now, I'm in the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: talks about possibly creating a fashion line. I know it's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: like it never stops, right, but it can't stop. I'm
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you some once you'd be giving an opportunity
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and you the light turned on in your brain. It
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: turned on, and you get what You're not gonna let
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: it go? Damn. You know, give me an opportunity. I'm
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: gonna show you. But it's all it's all professionally done though.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: You know, you're not jumping out there without a plane.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You're not jumping out there saying, hey, throw me a bone,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and I just start knowing on you gonna say, hey,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I don't do bones. I don't do bones, you know.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: In that case, you know, with the jewelry line, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: brought on my oldest LIT daughter, Mariah, She's one of
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the creative directors with the jewelry line with me, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: that's what it's about. It's also creating family and that
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: allows us to bond doing something She'll also be helping
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: me with the fashion stuff that I'm working towards, but
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: us taking trips to Hong Kong as a family. I'm
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'm always thinking about how can I work and do
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: things that we're creative and that we're passionate about, but
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: how can we do them together? Awesome? So even where
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: music is involved, you know, I love singing well, my
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: husband sayings, let me do that with him, and I
