1:01
Speaker 1: That's something I'm excited about. Please welcome back to money
1:04
Speaker 1: making Conversations, Miss Diana Williams. Good morning, Diana. What city
1:12
Speaker 1: are you in, my friend? What city are you in? Well,
1:14
Speaker 1: I'm in Jackson, Mississippi. Today The Dancing Dollars of Jackson
1:18
Speaker 1: start their audition process an intake for new members. So
1:22
Speaker 1: I am here with them all week long. Now what
1:26
Speaker 1: is the explain that process to me right here? Because
1:29
Speaker 1: of the fact that last time we're gonna show people,
1:31
Speaker 1: shall you really get in detail about how how my
1:35
Speaker 1: kids can get involved? And I want to make sure
1:37
Speaker 1: that I don't miss that, So you you open the door,
1:40
Speaker 1: explain the process because you're not only in Jackson, but
1:43
Speaker 1: you're also in Birmingham, and you also have studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Correct, correct, Okay,
1:50
Speaker 1: but right now you're doing intake for Jackson, Mississippi studio.
1:53
Speaker 1: Talk to us about that. Well, for the dancing doll,
1:56
Speaker 1: the dancers dogs are a separate of the dollhouse Dames factory.
1:59
Speaker 1: The dancing doll just practice inside of the doghouse dance factory.
2:02
Speaker 1: There's a huge misconception there about how the company runs
2:06
Speaker 1: our studio is etcetera, etcetera. So when remember the one
2:09
Speaker 1: the audition wasn't for the dancing dolls competition dance team.
2:13
Speaker 1: I always suggest that they start off taking class. Don't
2:16
Speaker 1: where that teaches major rette in hip hop, because those
2:19
Speaker 1: those types of backgrounds are what you will need in
2:21
Speaker 1: order to be successful on the team. Although it is
2:24
Speaker 1: not required, it is definitely suggested because while she takes
2:27
Speaker 1: those class that makes it so much easier for you
2:29
Speaker 1: to make the team. Getting training before actually trying to
2:32
Speaker 1: get the job is what you want to try to do.
2:35
Speaker 1: So that's exactly what I expressed to everyone. But even
2:38
Speaker 1: though some people don't don't take the training process prior
2:41
Speaker 1: to and they just show up for the audition prodest
2:43
Speaker 1: we do the best that we can to train them
2:46
Speaker 1: prior to the actual audition itself. The dance will come
2:49
Speaker 1: in and all ages five to eight teams. They're all
2:52
Speaker 1: different sides from all different backgrounds. You know, we don't discriminate.
2:55
Speaker 1: We want everybody. You want, anybody that wants to dance,
2:58
Speaker 1: has an idea of what it is to take to
3:00
Speaker 1: do what it is that we do. We want them
3:02
Speaker 1: to come. We want to have them there, so having
3:04
Speaker 1: them around is definitely fun. Some kids make it and
3:07
Speaker 1: some kids don't, but it's always a fun place that
3:10
Speaker 1: especially seeing the kids grow throughout the course of the
3:12
Speaker 1: week and putting their best foot forward. Now, what makes
3:16
Speaker 1: you unique because there's a lot of people out there,
3:18
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always hunting for the next though, I'm
3:21
Speaker 1: always looking hunting for the Miss Diana Williams so I
3:24
Speaker 1: can create me a hit reality show. What makes you special,
3:27
Speaker 1: Miss Williams, Well, everything about me makes me special, very
3:30
Speaker 1: different created. It's not stop stop stop stop you too much,
3:36
Speaker 1: stop stop right there, stop right there everywhere, but no, seriously,
3:41
Speaker 1: like what about me, I'm just different from most people
3:44
Speaker 1: that you would that. You know, people will give up
3:46
Speaker 1: a lot of time to do what it is that
3:48
Speaker 1: they do, and I am definitely one of those people.
3:50
Speaker 1: But what makes me different, I think, is the fact
3:53
Speaker 1: that I give selflessness, selfless, selfless, selflessly, I should say,
3:58
Speaker 1: without even looking back, I have done a lot of
4:01
Speaker 1: things for kids that probably wouldn't even though they're I'm
4:04
Speaker 1: even doing the things that I'm doing for them in
4:06
Speaker 1: the background. You know, some parents don't even know that
4:09
Speaker 1: I cover fees for them even when they don't have
4:12
Speaker 1: the money to pay it, and I know that something's
4:14
Speaker 1: going on with them, I take care of it. I'm
4:16
Speaker 1: always reaching out to other kids to try to see
4:18
Speaker 1: what they're doing wrong as far as school be concerned,
4:21
Speaker 1: to try to assist them on that level. Like I'm
4:23
Speaker 1: not just a typical coach that sits in coaching students
4:26
Speaker 1: team in the studio. I'm all in their business. I
4:28
Speaker 1: want to know what they're doing, where they're going, who
4:31
Speaker 1: they're talking to. I want to know about your grades.
4:32
Speaker 1: Don't want to go at you doing your chores at
4:34
Speaker 1: home like you doing them on your third And I
4:36
Speaker 1: don't want to know it all because I can figure
4:38
Speaker 1: out how to make you the best topical with you
4:40
Speaker 1: possible and that's what the ultimate goal. Let me ask
4:42
Speaker 1: you this, so, so do you do do do you
4:45
Speaker 1: have like scholarships? There are cold individual purchase scholarships that
4:49
Speaker 1: could be donated to a student who can't afford to
4:53
Speaker 1: ten your studios or how does they work? Or are
4:56
Speaker 1: creating a problem for you because they've gotta have the
4:58
Speaker 1: talent to attend Sean, they gotta make the cut. So
5:01
Speaker 1: just the Dance Results is a community based organization. We're
5:06
Speaker 1: not a finance We're not a federally fund organization. It's
5:10
Speaker 1: funding finance from my pockets mostly. You know, the parents
5:14
Speaker 1: do pay money for uniforms, but all the parents don't
5:17
Speaker 1: always pay like their souls too, who do what they
5:19
Speaker 1: need to do. So then the financial responsibility falls on me.
5:22
Speaker 1: If it's been like that for the last eighteen years,
5:26
Speaker 1: you know. So unfortunately, we can't offer scholarships because the
5:29
Speaker 1: money for the scholarship becomes to me and I have
5:31
Speaker 1: my own child that I have to focus on and
5:33
Speaker 1: worry about. But if there are people out there that
5:36
Speaker 1: would love to donate money to the kids, I would
5:39
Speaker 1: love to have that money to be placed on their
5:40
Speaker 1: account so that if they are running behind on fees,
5:43
Speaker 1: or if their parents that need extra money for travel
5:46
Speaker 1: or what have you. Absolutely well we would take donations
5:49
Speaker 1: all day long. Okay, cool, you're gonna get a donation
5:51
Speaker 1: from Rush McDonald. We appreciate that we have several kids,
5:56
Speaker 1: especially in the Atlanta area. I know, for fact, I
5:58
Speaker 1: have a pared a pen up to I will not
6:01
Speaker 1: name her name. Um I covered her fee for her
6:03
Speaker 1: kids for the full year just so they were able
6:06
Speaker 1: to come, but then her car broke down and she
6:09
Speaker 1: wasn't able to even get them there. So it was
6:12
Speaker 1: like one thing happening after after another. Is I know
6:14
Speaker 1: she would definitely be appreciated, appreciate and assistance. Well, I'm
6:18
Speaker 1: serious because of the fact that, uh, I do it
6:21
Speaker 1: for Wendy were Carol Robinson, she has a school for
6:23
Speaker 1: an acting school, and uh, this California, My wife and
6:28
Speaker 1: I would purchased ten scholarships annually. It's we've been doing
6:33
Speaker 1: it for like ten years. And uh, I don't consider
6:36
Speaker 1: you my little sister now, miss Williams. Okay, appreciate. I
6:40
Speaker 1: gotta bring you on board into the phone. We gotta
6:43
Speaker 1: introduce you to my wife so she can she can say, Okay,
6:46
Speaker 1: we're good because because you're doing Because that's the point
6:51
Speaker 1: that I wanted to bring back on the show. Because
6:53
Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, the show edits you
6:57
Speaker 1: know energy, they they don't they don't allow the story
7:00
Speaker 1: to be told, a big story to be told. And
7:03
Speaker 1: when he was on the show, I was like, really
7:05
Speaker 1: at all of the Shark conversation, I went there so
7:07
Speaker 1: much more we should be talking about. And I told
7:09
Speaker 1: you that when you was in the studio, go, I
7:11
Speaker 1: gotta bring you back because you come back on my show.
7:13
Speaker 1: Because of the fact that a lot of people, especially
7:16
Speaker 1: like I'm from Chicago from a standpoint, I worked there
7:19
Speaker 1: like five years, and dance clubs and dancing is really
7:23
Speaker 1: big in Chicago, and I know how impactful that is
7:26
Speaker 1: in the Chicago community. And the fact that you now
7:29
Speaker 1: have studios in Jackson, Mississippi, and Birmingham, Alabama, in Atlanta, Georgia.
7:35
Speaker 1: What is the what is the tim Is there a
7:37
Speaker 1: limit to what you're gonna do? Or talk about the
7:40
Speaker 1: reason why you expanding like that like this there one
7:44
Speaker 1: of the biggest reasons why the expansion the chances theories,
7:47
Speaker 1: because being able to have an outreach program that reaches
7:51
Speaker 1: out or literally outward house side of the state line
7:55
Speaker 1: is something that's important to make sure that you can
7:57
Speaker 1: reach as many people in the box and out of
7:59
Speaker 1: platforms down home with the the TV show has given
8:02
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to leave so many people and to
8:05
Speaker 1: be around so many people, and the fact that my
8:09
Speaker 1: studio was just in one stationariest way. Everybody couldn't get
8:12
Speaker 1: right understood that. But I have the opportunity and the
8:15
Speaker 1: meaning to be able to give to them. So it
8:18
Speaker 1: just made sense for me to say, you know what, Diana,
8:21
Speaker 1: why not just open up the studio or location in
8:24
Speaker 1: their areas and go to them. So everybody can't always
8:28
Speaker 1: go where you need them to go, Everybody can't always
8:30
Speaker 1: see where you need them to be here. Everybody can
8:32
Speaker 1: always do what you actually can do so it's important
8:35
Speaker 1: that celebrities that they have an opportunity to use a
8:37
Speaker 1: platform that I gave them in the first place, that
8:39
Speaker 1: you use it. And that's that's what I've been trying
8:41
Speaker 1: to do, right. I always like this, doll Halls Dance
8:45
Speaker 1: Factory promote high self esteem, determination, persistence, high academic achievement,
8:53
Speaker 1: community involvement, and the importance of health and young women
8:57
Speaker 1: through the art of dance. That's powerful. That's probably what
9:03
Speaker 1: guts you through that process. Diana, Well, that's the statement
9:07
Speaker 1: I just made. Well, I for me, as a kid,
9:11
Speaker 1: I grew up going to different dance schools that didn't
9:14
Speaker 1: celebrate me. And what I mean by that is that
9:18
Speaker 1: they didn't celebrate the African American faith, the African American body,
9:23
Speaker 1: or the African American people. I was just another spec
9:27
Speaker 1: in the room. I've always tried to explain to the
9:32
Speaker 1: kids that I coach and I teach that there is
9:34
Speaker 1: a world out there that is so much bigger than you.
9:37
Speaker 1: If you take the small thing that you're given, utilize
9:42
Speaker 1: the education. Because we go to some kids going to
9:44
Speaker 1: public school, are you hidding a free education? Utilize the
9:49
Speaker 1: education that you are getting put forwards Okay, We're gonna
9:54
Speaker 1: be right back with more with Diana Williams. Um Bring
9:57
Speaker 1: It Live Tour, I gotta talk about that next on
10:00
Speaker 1: more money Making Conversations. Hi, just Reachard McDonald. My guess
10:06
Speaker 1: is h I like to believe that she understands the
10:09
Speaker 1: value of multiple streams of income. UM she is now
10:13
Speaker 1: as a dollhouse, dance factory studio and um Birmingham, Alabama,
10:19
Speaker 1: one of my favorite towns. Started in Jackson, Mississippi, been
10:23
Speaker 1: there by four or five times and now Atlanta, Georgia.
10:27
Speaker 1: She's on the phone to talk about the Bring It
10:29
Speaker 1: Live Tour. What is the Bring It Live Tour? Ms Williams, Well,
10:35
Speaker 1: to Bring It Live Tour isn't up close from your
10:38
Speaker 1: pace version of what you see on and it's just
10:42
Speaker 1: a live versions. People get a chance to really see
10:45
Speaker 1: me being me because on the TV show they don't
10:48
Speaker 1: really show my natural personality. They just showed me coaching. No,
10:52
Speaker 1: they don't show me actually engaging with the fans. As
10:55
Speaker 1: to Bring It Live Tour, I'm literally in the crowd,
10:58
Speaker 1: eyes of offs to stay age. I'm in the crowd
11:01
Speaker 1: with everyone running around, cracking jokes. The kids are dancing.
11:06

Speaker 1: and see the girls dance live. You've got a lot
11:28
Speaker 1: of the girls who've been on the show previously to
11:30
Speaker 1: graduate and to mourn, so they will not be on
11:33
Speaker 1: the on the tour this year, but the girls that
11:35

11:38
Speaker 1: an amazing show to come and sit and watch. Okay,

11:42
Speaker 1: Do you come out to a big fanfare? How what
11:46

11:47

Speaker 1: between two thousands to five thousand city theaters. It is
11:57
Speaker 1: a ninety minute show of a shantact performances. There's a
12:01
Speaker 1: huge brand opening number, there's a lot of fans stuff
12:06
Speaker 1: in the middle where there's battles amongst the fans, battles
12:08
Speaker 1: amongst the girls. This year's tour, it's all about the fans.
12:11
Speaker 1: But having the fans involved in it, it's definitely gonna
12:14
Speaker 1: be the game changer for this year's tour. And then
12:17
Speaker 1: there's a huge grand finale. And then there's me in
12:20
Speaker 1: the lobby after the show's signing autographs and you're not

12:37
Speaker 1: an autograph, selling t shirts. Absolutely absolutely so with this tour.
12:43
Speaker 1: Who thought of this idea because of the fact that
12:46

12:52
Speaker 1: type of energetic to you know that that people would
12:55

Speaker 1: such a good place in your life. Are you your energy?
14:35
Speaker 1: You you have a such a direction of where you
14:38

14:42
Speaker 1: And I am I feeling, uh, just this passion for
14:45
Speaker 1: you know that you you understand who you are and
14:47
Speaker 1: who you can be. Absolutely I think that you know.
14:51
Speaker 1: I'm forty years old and I have I've been through
14:53
Speaker 1: a lot of course of my life, you know, trying
14:57
Speaker 1: to get to where I am and did not happen overnight.
14:59
Speaker 1: I have and homeless, I slept on floors, I slept
15:02
Speaker 1: in my car. I've had my car and repossessed. You know,
15:05
Speaker 1: I have been through a lot to get to where
15:07
Speaker 1: I am. And I just have to say that anybody
15:10
Speaker 1: that has a dream of being an entrepreneur, don't think
15:14
Speaker 1: that you're gonna make money right away. You have to
15:17
Speaker 1: know how to blind even when the grind puts put
15:21
Speaker 1: you down. Even when the brind turn this back on you,
15:23
Speaker 1: you can't give you not to know your work and
15:26
Speaker 1: who you are. Always put God first. Pray, pray about
15:30
Speaker 1: all of it. Pray when it's good, or pray when
15:32
Speaker 1: it's bad, play when it's ugly. Pray period, because no
15:35
Speaker 1: matter what you try to do, you can't do anything
15:37
Speaker 1: without haven't got in the fourth round. He has got
15:39
Speaker 1: to be the key was out for the Omega, the
15:42
Speaker 1: beginning to ending. It's gotta be about him because if not,
15:45
Speaker 1: you'll never succeed as an entrepreneur. I have I have
15:49
Speaker 1: a story, like I said in my in my book
15:51
Speaker 1: Standing in the Shape, that will blow your mind. My
15:54
Speaker 1: story is definitely one of those wars you would sit
15:56
Speaker 1: back and say, whoa, how is she even still living?
16:00
Speaker 1: How is she even still walking and breathe? And how
16:01
Speaker 1: is she even still giving up every day? And it's
16:04
Speaker 1: not the grace of God that I am able to
16:06
Speaker 1: do all of what I do. I have to give
16:08
Speaker 1: it to God. Without him, I would be nowhere and nothing. Okay,
16:14
Speaker 1: it's it's the Diana Williams show. I'm sorry I'm telling you,
16:20
Speaker 1: but this is why I love her, because she she
16:23
Speaker 1: knows Okay, let's let's go back. You know, uh, your book.
16:28
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about it last time. Your relationship
16:31
Speaker 1: with your mom was was it's not the perfect relationship?
16:35
Speaker 1: What did you learn about the relationship with your mom?
16:38
Speaker 1: And you've been because I feel like you're a giant mom.
16:41
Speaker 1: Now you're a mom. Do these kids you because you're
16:44
Speaker 1: so all the things that you talk about a mom
16:47
Speaker 1: will do for their child. And so I feel that
16:51
Speaker 1: you know now your mom and jacksone, that's where you started.
16:53
Speaker 1: Now your mom in Birmingham, now your mom in Atlanta,
16:56
Speaker 1: and so that's that's a lot of emotional and with
17:00
Speaker 1: that you're putting out there. How do you? How do you?
17:03
Speaker 1: How do you? How do you hold yourself together? I'm
17:08
Speaker 1: normal like anyone else, So I cry, you know. I
17:11
Speaker 1: try to not stress about it, even though that's hard
17:14
Speaker 1: because you're dealing with so many personalities when you're dealing
17:16
Speaker 1: with girls. As would always says, women are emotional creatures.
17:20
Speaker 1: So when you're dealing with girls, there's different attitudes and
17:23
Speaker 1: all that there. I try my best to literally place
17:27
Speaker 1: myself in their shoes and understand every situation. But I've
17:31
Speaker 1: learned to not take it home. I used to take
17:34
Speaker 1: home so much of the stress on these kids, but
17:36
Speaker 1: I didn't fleet. There were times I wouldn't eat, that
17:38
Speaker 1: I was so much stress and over when I even
17:41
Speaker 1: lost weight because of some of the stress dealing with
17:43
Speaker 1: a lot of what it is that I do. But
17:46
Speaker 1: because I know that this is the purpose that God
17:48
Speaker 1: gave me, then I know that having this weight on you,
17:52
Speaker 1: it's the reason why you're able to be so successful.
17:55
Speaker 1: That I is not gonna ever give you more than
17:56
Speaker 1: you can be at people saying all the time, but
17:58
Speaker 1: I am a walking talking to estimate because that I
18:01
Speaker 1: have watched kids that have been for abusive halls, broken halls,
18:06
Speaker 1: parents walk out on their abandoned kids, kids that our
18:08
Speaker 1: foster kids. We have had a lot of kids come
18:10
Speaker 1: through our programs, and I literally take it all in.
18:14
Speaker 1: I'd have I'd have foster present so I understand what
18:17
Speaker 1: it's like. I understand what it's like to love your
18:19
Speaker 1: mom and your mom not always love you back, but
18:21
Speaker 1: then in the end, like my mom and I now
18:23
Speaker 1: we have a great relationship. Now, I think that you know,
18:26
Speaker 1: with everything that I've gone and having to deal with
18:29
Speaker 1: so much of what I dealt with, I think that
18:32
Speaker 1: it created more of a fund with us because she
18:34
Speaker 1: didn't know. Now she she got my books, I didn't
18:37
Speaker 1: want her to read it. I'm gonna be honest. I
18:39
Speaker 1: did not want my mom to read my book. Of
18:40
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that it's in the book, I
18:43
Speaker 1: never told her. I kept it to myself. As most kids,
18:46
Speaker 1: you know, we we bottle things up as adults and
18:48
Speaker 1: even as children. We bottled things up and we cheaper
18:51
Speaker 1: to ourselves. And I did that for a long time.
18:53
Speaker 1: That book set me free. It set me free. I'm
18:57
Speaker 1: able to talk about things that I hadn't ever spoken
19:00
Speaker 1: out loud about before. And it was a necessary evil.
19:02
Speaker 1: I needed to do that my mom and No, Now
19:05
Speaker 1: we're good. You know, we're in a good place. Now
19:07
Speaker 1: we crack dogs, you sing, text you on and emoio covers.
19:12
Speaker 1: Speaking of emoji, she downloaded my emoji app and she
19:16
Speaker 1: keeps sitting the same one. I'm like, why do you
19:19
Speaker 1: keep seeing that one? She said, because it looks like
19:20
Speaker 1: me and I could do that. I'm like, kids, right,
19:24
Speaker 1: tell us about this emoji app? How did this start? Well? Uh,
19:29
Speaker 1: my publicist, Erica brought to me um an idea to
19:32
Speaker 1: do emojis because my personality is so vibrant, and why
19:36
Speaker 1: wouldn't people want to have text messaging conversation utilizing gifts
19:42
Speaker 1: that look like being talk like me and act like me.
19:44
Speaker 1: You know, we have women are fights to create yourself.
19:47
Speaker 1: We have some fights to them and we have these
19:49
Speaker 1: conversations where we snap our things and roll our next
19:52
Speaker 1: and we go through the whole, the whole motion. And
19:54
Speaker 1: it just makes sense to have an emoji that the
19:58
Speaker 1: fiilize all those things. You can t the whole conversation
20:01
Speaker 1: with my emojis without even texting one word. That's just
20:04
Speaker 1: how good they are. That's fun. It sounds, it sounds
20:10
Speaker 1: like you. It's only available on Time iPhone right now.
