• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you know till just watching you grow, you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: just watching you grow as a person as a business woman,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and a spokeswoman, a spokesperson, you know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: So so how is that you know when when people
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: come to you now like you you know, because I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: know it's a little shyness when you're talking about your
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: your your shape wear, but it's part of the crown
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that you wear. Now, you know, how are you if
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you give people advice about expectations and also living up
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to the expectation.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: How do you handle that?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: You know, it can sometimes feel a little heavy, like
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: you can feel the heaviness of people like watching you
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: and things like that. But the only thing I can do,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I can be the best meat that I can be.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I can just share the knowledge that I have, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: when it comes to health and wellness, you know, to me,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: it's been a struggle with that part, and I just
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: let people in that, you know, I'm working on it,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: working with it, and I'm just whatever somebody can give
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: me to encourage me, Like I'm trying to encourage you
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: with your gear, which I call it gear instead of shaping.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Or people say girdles.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: But I just think it's important that we look nice
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: just because we think, don't mean that we have to
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: just look any kind of way and just have to
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: just all thrown out there where we cannot be neatly,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: you know, neatly dressed.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And that's what shapewear does for you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: And I just like to be able to share, especially
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: with my thick ladies, that we have stuff that can
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: look nice on us. That's what I really you know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: grabbed and to gravitated that I wanted good quality clothing
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: for us shop because sometimes you know, you get fabrics
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and you hold it up or even when you can
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: see through it, and I was like, I don't want
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: people to be able.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: To see through my things.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: It's like or see your body before they get to you,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: meaning they see you your.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Skin coming through your clothes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: You know, things like that is very important to me,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: and that way is heavy on me that I still
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: have to find things that's compatible for us pricing because
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: the more you want it, the better quality. Of course,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: you know, it costs more money bottom line. And I'm
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: just trying, you know, I'm learning this thing like you
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: were saying earlier, and to just be honest with people,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: and you know, you know, we do it for other
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: genres or other people that are not from our community.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I just want us to learn to support one another
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: and we all can grow and we all can be millionaires,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: billions or whatever we want.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: To be influenced if we support our own.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: As black people, guys, we don't really need nobody. We
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: could do it all by ourselves, you know, just by supporting.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to Tamila Man, she's appreciating the economics. So
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the Black community, we support each other. We don't need
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: nobody to support us.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And that's really true.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And that's why I created this platform, Money Making Conversation
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: master Class, because I wanted to make sure that entrepreneurs
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in the Black community recognize you are new stars. You
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just happen to be an incredibly gifted singer and incredibly
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: gifted actors, but you also as an entrepreneur needs to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: be recognized that and female entrepreneurs are the fastest growing
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: segment of small businesses, and so and we need to
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we need to realize that because that's a that's a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: big thing to undertain understand. And like I grew up
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: with six sisters, and so when you start talking about shape,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: where we start talking about, you know, sizes that are
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on patigue, you start getting above twelve, you know, you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: know the brother the last five to ten years, women
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: have been able to who felt that were full figured
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: can actually be comfortable being full figured. And I think
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and I think that because you know, you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: used to go our shop. All you had was a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: big old T shirt, big old T shirt. They they had,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: they had the big T shirts for the for those ladies,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: but they didn't have the gear or the or the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: or the apparel that allowed them to be proud of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: what they're doing.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Talk about that transition because part of that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Looked nice and didn't look like a tablecloth.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Right And and like I said, I can say that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: because I got six sisters, so I've dealt with their emotions.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I've dealt with them, you know, uh, how they had
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to deal with that, how they had to and then
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: they also I have to deal with their friends. Now you,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: like I said, you've been part of that revolution or evolution.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: What has been the tremendous Traine is it? Is it
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that you know, we have the Lizos out there,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: we have that, and that they had that commotional I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: think that Dove commercial we had all the four figured
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: ladies posing in their underwear looking comfortable. One has been
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the significant change to make this a comfortable, a comfortable conversation.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: You know what I think?
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: What being honest, since you're talking about the money of
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the economics of it, is they see that they can
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: make money than anybody them showing us and people that
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: look like us. You know, I don't need to see
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: you know, nothing against anybody that's small, but if you're
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: trying to sell me something, I need to see somebody
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: this thick like me. I don't need to see a
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: small person a critique person that doesn't look like me,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: because that doesn't make me feel like whatever it is
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: is going to look right and fit my shape, you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: or you know the way that I'm built.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: So I think that's the importance of it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: And they see now we're getting more eyes and more
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: commercials because they see that they can make money from us.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Absolutely well, the way you've always made money is that
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you've been spirited by the Lord, by the word.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Right, they can make money for us plus plus sized people.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely no.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: No, I don't just make it a positive transition. I'm
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: about to get you why I really brought you own
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the show, you know. I you know, there's always been
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a blessing these type of relationships where I get to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: see people grow, you know, and I get to pH
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: see them somehow.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: They're in the back and then they.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Then they come into the front, and then also they're
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in front of everybody, and they become natural leaders, and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you become a natural leader, you know, And then the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Natural Leader and the weight loss.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: You know, he was a spokesperson in that.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about that transition because of the fact
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Again it was personal.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: You're doing a lot of personal endeavors as an entrepreneur. Now,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: how does it how does that impact you and impact
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: your family? Do you sit down with your family when
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you make these decisions. When we were discussing the weight loss,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I know it's tied to your needs and all that stuff,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: but talk about that.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Well, it is kind of something that I especially sit
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: on the top of David about and then I just
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: kind of just let my kids know kind of like
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: what I'm doing. So if someone asks them is you know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: they can kind of answer.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: That and so yes or no factor.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: But I and it's important because of my family. You know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: obesity runs in my family and we easy you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it's like we have some small ones, but we have
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: a way where we can be.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Some thick ones if we don't watch it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: So I'm just really trying to learn to do better.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: You know, in my situation, because my mother was a
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: full figure woman and she dealt with high blood pressure
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: and she didn't have a diabetes. Ran on my father's side,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: So I'm really trying to be careful and like I say,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: it's an uphill journey.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Like some people may have problems with drinking or drugs.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Mine happened to be not even eating enough, eating wrong,
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And it's like learning to do different things. So it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: important that we if we share and.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Talk about it. You know, group therapy really is it really.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Can help a lot of us because you feel like,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: first of all, that you're not alone. Somebody else is
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: dealing with the same issues that I'm dealing with. I'm
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: not just the only one making a bad choice, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: it kind of takes a little pressure off the mind
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: where it don't just go heavily forwards on the mental side,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: where it can put you into a quession. When you
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: can talk about it, you learn to talk about issues
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: and we face the facts about ourselves that Okay, you
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: got to issue here. You know you're picking wrong, you're
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: choosing wrong. You know, you just keep going back the
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: same way. And it's like I'm believing in asking God,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: but it's also things that I have to grab hold
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: to and acknowledge that, Okay, Lord, I'm like like this morning,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I was like, damn girl, you know, it's like talking
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: to myself, like you gotta get this, you gotta do this.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: It's a day to day fight. It's like I feel like,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: for instance, that's somebody you know. It's like, well that's
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: what everybody want to invite you out to eat, or
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: they'll bring you something, fix you something that's not the
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: right thing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: It's like it's the devil. But it's like, but it's still.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: It's a process.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: It's really it really is a process and a learning
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: not to point the finger at other people. But the
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: point to fingish yourself that you need to address again
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: face facts by yourself.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You know. The beauty of see this is the humbleness.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Let me see.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: That's why I love interviewed her her London Adam, two
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of my favorite people. They both humble, brilliant people. Okay,

• 17:41
  Speaker 1: every lane.

  Speaker 2: That I go. I told you that's what that date.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I put it on a little yellow post and put
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: it on my wall when I was in an apartment
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: three fifty a month. You know, all bills are played.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: It was no bigger than five hundred square feet in Hollywood,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and I put it on my wall and I said, look,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and I just came out of spending thirty days in
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the hospital by long and collapse.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: But I went, look, if you.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Allowed me to follow my dream, I give you one
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: hundred percent.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: And so when people look at me, oh you're Bacon Reshine.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: You're doing this. You imagine this, You're doing this TV show?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: How can you say thing? You? How you doing all
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: this stuff? Well, yeah, God told me.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Not their law clock. He woke me up. Now when
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: he woke me up, he said, go do what you do.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: You know, when the favors come your way, you grab them. Okay,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the people out there who are hating out there looking
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: out on the outside. Why doesn't happened to you because
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you too much worried about what I'm doing. And so
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: they build the relationship of what you can do talk
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to us.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: When I do, I'm prayed and ask God. And see,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: faith with our works is dead. So you gotta when
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: you pray it, you gotta believe it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: See. The thing is is when you stuck that on
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: that wall and you said that prayer.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: You believe God beyond when you can see. So that's
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: when he worked. When you have faith and oh they
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: work together. And when you're when you pray and ask
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: God and when you believe it. That's why he said,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: if you have the faith, the size of mustle. See
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: we're not preaching you, guys. We're just trying to encourage
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: you through the world of God that all things are
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: possible if you believe.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: And He only works if you believe.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is, if it's healing, whatever deliverance, whatever you
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: need to come through for you, it's only going to
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: happen if you believe that it can happen. He moves
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: and that's the action of it. That's how he moves
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: is because you believe. When you're given this gift because
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: for singing okay, because my body, I'm not Jesus. My
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: body does get tired, my voice does get tired. Being
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: away from my family can be pulled. It has been
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: strenuous at times, especially when my kids were small and
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: even sometimes being adults, missing things and in you working
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: and trying to make things still happen, and they're not
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: understanding that.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: And you got a lot on your book and on your.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Plate that you're still I'm still so when you do
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: need to come to me, I'm still working. So when
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: you do need what you need, it's in the bank
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: mainland or you or the word of encouragement can be
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: put there. So that's what I mean. It's not easy
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: because it can be painful and to hear sometimes the
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: ridicule that we were just talking about earlier, when the
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: naysayers are going and at work. But I'm but I'm
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: encouraged because I know that God has me and i
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: know He's gonna do it because I'm believing it and
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: after I ask and believe He's doing it. But that's
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: what I mean by the gifts are not easy. If
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: when the body gets tired and I'm pressing and even
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: like to this day, if I get horse for you,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I get so teary eyed, and that I feel like
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not able to give my best because I always
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: on my mother say love.
• 21:01

• 21:03

• 21:09
  Speaker 4: best of your ability. Give it everything that you have.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: And every time that I stand before God's people, I
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: am trying to let them have everything that I have
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: in me. It's like I'm leaving it out there. I'm
• 21:24
